Of economic crises and pandemics | different voice (2023)

If events since March 2020 have shown us anything, it is that fear is a powerful weapon to ensure dominance. Any government can manipulate the fear of certain things while conveniently ignoring the real dangers faced by a population.

author and researcherRobert J Burrowe's Dice: “…if we were seriously concerned about our world, the most serious and enduring health crisis on the planet is the one that leaves 100,000 people starving every day. Of course there is no panic.

Don't panic, for the controlling interests of the global food system have long spoken of a "full and hungry'Strategy that ensures that people starve unnecessarily when corporate profits rather than needs dictate politics.

American social commentator Walter Lippmann once said that "responsible men" make decisions and need to be protected from the "confused flock": the public. He added that the public should be restrained, obedient and distracted from what is really happening. They should shout patriotic slogans and fear for their lives, and they should be in awe of the leaders who save them from destruction.

During COVID, Prime Minister of New ZealandJacinda Ardern called on citizensTrust the government and its agencies for all information, declaring: "Else dismiss everything else. We will continue to be your only source of truth.”

In the US, Fauci was presented as "the science." In New Zealand, Ardern was "the truth". It was similar in countries around the world: different numbers, but the same approach.

Like other political leaders, Ardern used the full force of available state force against civil liberties to ensure adherence to the "truth." Those who questioned the COVID narrative, including world-renowned scientists, have been vilified, shut down and censored.

It was an internationally orchestrated campaign involving governments, big tech companies, the media and the WHO, among others.

IsUS timesreported on December 17, 2022 that the US Centers for Disease Control worked with social media to censor facts and information about COVID that contradicted official accounts.

America First Legal noted in a press release that the fourth set of documents it released, stemming from a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), revealed: "...further concrete evidence of collusion between the CDC and social media companies to censor free speech and silence the public space under the government's label of 'disinformation'.”

Twitter operated a "partner support portal" for government employees and other "stakeholders" to submit posts that it would remove from its platform or flag as "misinformation."

The US government actively worked to "socially inoculate" the public against anything that threatened their narrative. Big tech companies monitored and manipulated users to censor unauthorized information and promote government propaganda. Facebook sent written material to the CDC asking for censorship of more than sixteen million pieces of "content" that contained opinions or information the government wanted to suppress.

The AFL noted that the CDC is "working with UNICEF, WHO affiliate IFCN and leading civil society organization Mafindo" to mitigate "misinformation." Mafindo is an external fact-checking partner of Facebook based in Indonesia and funded by Google.

AFL states, "What is clear is that the US government, major tech platforms, and international organizations have been fully embroiled in an intricate campaign to violate the First Amendment, silence the American people, and censor dissent." .

It also showed that the CDC's guidelines on mask counseling for school-age children were driven by politics rather than science.

In every major Western nation, there has been a crackdown on dissent and a massive campaign of censorship to justify a political framework of social and economic lockdowns, masking, distancing, and government interference in nearly every aspect of private life.

The AFL results show how centers of power can and do act in unison when the need arises. The fact that this was a global campaign shows that something big was at stake.

The official narrative was about protecting the populace from a deadly virus. And any dissent that seeped in at the fringes of mainstream discourse (such as Tucker Carlson at Fox News or some hosts at Talk Radio in the UK) tended to focus on politicians who went too far with lockdowns and restrictions, and they became caught in their selfish lust for power and control.

Such a superficial explanation prevented a deep and critical analysis of the situation. Indeed, any focus on the role of big finance (Wall Street and the City of London) was conspicuous by its absence.

In March 2022, BlackRock's Rob Kapito warned that a generation of people with "many rights" would soon face shortages for the first time in their lives, with some goods becoming scarce due to rising inflation. BlackRock is the most powerful mutual fund in the world.

Dispute captainon the situation in Ukraine and COVID as responsible for the current economic crisis, conveniently ignoring the inflationary impact of the injected trillionsFinancial market implosionin 2019 and 2020 (dwarfing the 2008 crisis).

The war in Ukraine and COVID are used to explain the roots of the current economic crisis. But COVID policies were a symptom, not a cause, of the crisis: they were deployed to deal with what in late 2019 was seen as an imminent economic meltdown. The draconian politics of COVID had little to do with a public health emergency.

This is explained in the article "A self-fulfilling prophecy: system collapse and pandemic simulation“ von Professor Fabio Vighi.

On August 15, 2019, BlackRock issued aWhite paperinstructing the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directly into the financial system to avoid "a dramatic slowdown". The message was clear: “An unprecedented response is required when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough. That response will likely be to go direct.” He also stressed the need to find ways to get central bank money directly into the hands of public and private consumers and avoid hyperinflation.

Six days earlier, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in aworksheetHe called for "unconventional monetary policy measures" to "protect the real economy from further financial deterioration".

Vighi shows why the hegemonic class reacted so violently to a public health problem affecting a minority of the population. This answer only makes sense when viewed in the context of economics.

In late 2019 and particularly 2020, the injection of trillions into the financial system followed by lockdowns (to avoid hyperinflation) was deployed as the “unconventional monetary policy” that the BIS called for on August 9, 2019.

Did you really think that the authorities would care so much about something that primarily affects people over 80 and people with serious comorbidities that would shut down the entire global economy?

Did they really care that much for the common people, especially unproductive workers, the old working class and the sick working class, when we saw the working class treated with utter contempt during the years of imposed austerity?

And did those who imposed restrictions and lockdowns really believe that a "deadly" virus was loose?

Think downing street drinking parties, Neil Ferguson breaking lockdown rules to pursue an extramarital affair, Matt Hancock breaking his own COVID rules with his mistress, maskless world leaders gathering in London during his servants wore masks, several US political leaders ignoring their own rules, and Fauci's public theateret alMasking for the TV cameras and then maskless once off camera.

While these people bullied the population with fear and blockades, it was clear that they themselves were not worried about "the virus".

After launching a massive anti-Russian propaganda campaign in the media earlier this year to rally public support for Ukraine, Western powerhouses are now pouring billions of dollars of public money into the coffers of arms manufacturers like Raytheon and Boeing. .

Such companies are more than happy to benefit from the sacrifice of ordinary Ukrainians' lives in the geopolitical quest to weaken and Balkanize Russia so US interests can gain a dominant strategic foothold on the landmass.

And while billions of dollars are being spent to achieve this, a totally unnecessary “cost of living” crisis (resulting from the ruthless economic neoliberalism that has eventually imploded) is being imposed on workers in Western countries, viewed as mere collateral damage on economic policy, war and corporate profits. The result is misery and poverty and the demonization of some workers (now on strike) who were hailed as "heroes" during COVID.

But of course, those in power who have such a documented disregard for the lives of ordinary people at home and abroad will shut down the entire world economy to protect their health!

Anyone who believes this is a testament to the power of propaganda.

COVID-related policies were disproportionate to any public health risk, especially given how definitions and dates of “COVID death” have been frequently tampered with and how PCR tests have been misused to scare populations into submission.

And the big winner was Big Pharma, an industry with a history of dirty tricks, misleading advertising, and death and injury as a result of its products. For example, if Pfizer were an individual, it would be serving a lengthy sentence with the proverbial discarded key for its corporate crimes.

But companies with extensive corporate crime across many sectors market themselves to the public as trustworthy and trustworthy. When governments collude (conspire) with such corporations, they collude with repeat criminal corporations. And when people buy shares in them, the same applies.

The crimes are of particular interest given the reference to the global food system at the beginning of this articledupontjBayer(see the Powerbase website) andMonsantojCargill(see Corporate Research Project (CRP) website).

And of course,Pfizerand his disturbing criminal record also appears on the CRP site.

These filthy rich corporations spend millions each year funding various groups and influencing governments and international organizations. No wonder they wield enormous influence and, in one way or another, become “trusted partners” with governments, the WHO, the WTO and the like.

In the case of Pfizer, it relied on obtaining “emergency authorization” to launch its “vaccines” and then foisting them on the public through government coercion.

Back to Lippmann: Since the beginning of 2020, many people have feared for their lives and marveled at the leaders who allegedly saved them from annihilation. Even now, with reports of vaccine injuries, vaccine ineffectiveness and rising death rates since vaccines were largely taboo in mainstream media, the public is sticking to the message as the WHO and Big Pharma work towards a global deal that will from which deprives all their rights. comes the next economic crisis or “pandemic”.

This article was written during the Christmas season, an increasingly secular celebration stripped of religious connotations. These days, "in Big Pharma we trust" might be more appropriate than blind faith in a Zuckerberg-style fantasy metaverse where Facebook is fact, government is truth, and Big Pharma is God.

Because (heaven help us) we should let them think for themselves!
