Thirteen Reasons to Doubt the Official COVID-19 Narrative
The so-called corona virus (CV) pandemic has taken the world by storm. Like many people, this author had never so much as heard the term “corona virus” until about three or four months ago. But writing now in early May 2020, it seems as if it’s been with us forever.
One of the barriers to thinking clearly about the CV pandemic and resulting lock down of the economy was the remarkable speed at which it all occurred. It seemed that one day all was well, and the next that governors across the country were ordering their citizens to “shelter in place.” It was almost as if the entire nation were sucker punched at once. One day we were going about our business, working our jobs as we always had, and the next we were working from home or not working at all. Who could ever have imagined such a thing as recently as the beginning of this year?
The official narrative is that the virus is an unexpected event, originating in China. Despite the Chinese leadership’s heroic efforts to contain it, the virus managed to spread throughout all the world. Here in the US, Anthony Fauci is officially hailed as a hero and governors who locked down their states are thought to have taken bold action to save the nation from an even higher death count than has been reported. They are heroes. And the more severely they locked down their states, the more heroic they are.
Although the rapidity at which the crisis emerged and my unfamiliarity with pandemics made analysis difficult at first, the whole CV pandemic always seemed more than a bit suspect to me. And the longer it has gone on and the more information that has come out, the more my original suspicions have been confirmed. Below are thirteen reason why I doubt CV narrative.
1. Quarantining the healthy: The foolish and unbiblical policy of quarantining the healthy makes it obvious that our policymakers either do not know what they are talking about or have evil intentions. The Bible does permit governments to quarantine the sick. This can be seen in Leviticus chapter 13 where we read about the detailed process the priests used to determine if a man had leprosy. It was only after the priest had declared him leprous that an individual was put outside the camp. But there was no provision in the Mosaic law to lock up healthy people in their dwellings to prevent the spread of leprosy. Israel as a nation was never locked down. Applying quarantines only to the sick is an extension of the biblical view of criminal justice. The Bible’s approach to criminal justice is one of crime punishment, not crime prevention. In the Bible, a man was punished only after going through due process and being found guilty. There was no bureaucracy in place to punish the innocent with onerous regulations aimed at preventing crime. Quarantining the healthy is a form of punishing the innocent and it needs to stop.
2. The remarkable attack on religious liberty: It was just three weeks ago that Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear threatened Christians who attended Easter services in Kentucky with having their license plates recorded by local officials and put in quarantine (house arrest) for fourteen days. Never has this author seen such an arrogant and sinful stance by an American governor toward Christians whose only “offense” was to obey the Biblical injunction to gather on the first day of the week to worship.
3. Soviet-style censorship of free speech: In addition to the free exercise of religion, the US Constitution guarantees the right of free speech. Yet the major social media companies have taken it upon themselves to censor content that contradicts the official narrative. For example, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki stated in a recent CNN interview that “Anything that goes against WHO recommendations [on the CV] would be a violation of our policy and so remove is another really important part of our policy.” Likewise, Facebook says that in light of WHO’s declaring COVID-19 a global public health emergency, it will be, “taking aggressive steps to stop misinformation and harmful content from spreading.” Some will say that this is not a violation of free speech, since these YouTube and Facebook are private companies. But the line between social media companies and the government is blurry. For example, law professor Jonathan Turley wrote a post earlier this year titled “The Death of Free Speech: Zuckerberg Asks Governments For Instructions On ‘What Discourse Should Be Allowed.” The Atlantic published an article by Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith and University of Arizona law professor Andrew Keane Woods that the Hill described as calling for Chinese style censorship of the internet.
4. The destruction of economic liberty: Government officials in the United States have forced businesses to close and put, so far, about 30 million people out of work. This is the largest spike in unemployment in the history of our nation. Yet the people that have been responsible for making and implementing and enforcing these policies have themselves remained conspicuously employed. Anthony Fauci has not lost his job. Neither has Deborah Birx or any of the dozens of governors who have locked down their states. These actions have created extreme economic hardship for a significant part of the population, while those who are the cause of the suffering are insulated from the repercussions of their actions.
5. Destruction of personal liberty: It’s shocking just how much many of the CV pandemic peddlers seem to love totalitarianism. See, for example, Tucker Carlson’s report on Peter Walker, a former employee of the McKinsey consulting firm in China. One clip shows Carlson raising concerns about China’s oppression of its citizens and Peter Walker responding by saying, “look at the results.” Extraordinary. An American business leader responding to China’s oppression of its own citizens by saying, “look at the results.” Who would have thought we’d ever hear such a thing? The Atlantic ran a story at the end of March saying “Get Used to It: This Lockdown Won’t Be the Last,” telling Americans that they have a future of multiple lock downs to look forward to. All for our own good, of course.
6. Money printing by the Federal Reserve: In response to the economic shut down, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) has engaged in a surge of money printing the likes of which have never been seen before. According to this chart from the St. Louis Fed, the Fed’s balance sheet has increased by about $2.4 trillion just since February 19. When we say that the Fed’s balance sheet has increased by $2.4 trillion, this is just a polite way of saying that the Fed has created $2.4 trillion out of nothing in the space of a little over two months. To put that in perspective, it took the Fed about a century to create $3 trillion dollars. That they’ve managed to do nearly that in just over two months without anyone saying much about it is remarkable to say the least. And don’t for a minute thing the Fed’s done. According to the very mainstream Marketwatch, the Fed could grow its balance sheet to $10 trillion by early 2021. This unprecedented increase in the supply of money coupled with an unprecedented decrease in economic output will result in more dollars chasing fewer goods, implying unprecedented consumer price inflation. Put in Biblical terms, this is theft. And not only theft, but theft on a scale that is hard to comprehend. Yet we’re told by elite propaganda outlets such as the New York Times that the expanding debt, which is made possible by the Fed’s expanding its balance sheet, is a good thing. In truth, such policies by the Fed are both sinful and destructive of our nation. That massive debt expansion and money printing are sold to the American people by their leaders as positively necessary for dealing the CV pandemic is good reason to suspect the entire narrative is bogus.
7. The strange involvement of Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases with the Wuhan Institute of Virology: According to the New York Post, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases (NIAID) gave $7.4 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the lab from which the CV supposedly was released. The New York Post article dated 4/20/2020 goes on to state that the National Institute of Health, which oversees NIAID, just shut off funding to the lab the prior week. The financial connection between Fauci’s NIAID and the Wuhan lab is, to say the least, interesting. Perhaps more information is forthcoming on this issue.
8. Anthony Fauci’s Jesuit connections: It’s remarkable how often one finds Jesuits, or men trained by the Jesuits, at the center of important events. Jay Powell, the current Chairman of the Federal Reserve, went to law school at Jesuit Georgetown University. Recently appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh attended high school at Georgetown Preparatory School, a Jesuit boys college prep school. As of the summer of 2018, Kavanaugh was a volunteer tutor and served on the board of Washington Jesuit Academy. This bring us to Dr. Anthony Fauci. As Berean Beacon reports, Anthony Fauci attended Jesuit schools from Our Lady of Guadalupe Grammar School in Brooklyn all the way up through his undergraduate degree from College of the Holy Cross. Says Berean Beacon, “Today, Dr. Anthony Fauci, is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a position he has held since 1984. This Jesuit trained deep state operative has been intimately involved in public affairs and policy for the past six presidential administrations. And now the world stands at the precipice of forced vaccination at the hands of a conglomerate of church, state and science so falsely called.”
9. Bill Gates: The more one learns about Bill Gates, the more suspect he becomes. The Microsoft billionaire has inserted himself in the response to the pandemic to a degree that is truly remarkable and, therefore, his actions require scrutiny. What do we find when we look into Gates? He’s a vaccine nut. As a recent article by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Children’s Health Defense website tells us, “Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy. This has prompted some people to say that Bill Gates wants to microchip you, which various fact checking websites have had a field day refuting. But not so fast. As this report from Target Liberty tells us, Bill Gates doesn’t want to microchip you, he just wants to give you a digital tattoo to prove you’ve had all your shots. Well, that makes me feel so much better!
10. Quarantining the Healthy: The Bible teaches that there is a place for quarantining individuals who have dangerous diseases. But if you read what the Scriptures say about quarantining, it is all about isolating the sick, not locking down the healthy. Yet we’re told by all right-thinking people that to be safe, we must lock healthy individuals in their homes. This inversion of the Biblical principles of quarantining is prima facie evidence that those who are running the response to CV are at best confused in their thinking. Another possibility is that they are actively malevolent and intend to use the CV pandemic to attack Americans’ civil rights.
11. Worldwide, synchronized media hype: It’s been fascinating to see the worldwide media hype surrounding the CV pandemic. Commenting on this phenomenon during a recent interview on the Ron Paul Liberty Report, Denis Rancourt made the point that this hype appeared to be “coordinated.” He went on to say, “I believe that there is a network that does influence the main editors of the main papers in the great number of countries and then that sets the scene so the word is given out when they want something like this [the CV hype] to just flood the mainstream media.”
12. Empty hospitals: We were told that hospitals across the country would be swamped beyond capacity, but that seems not to have been the case. In fact, far from being at overcapacity, many hospitals are laying off doctors and nurses due to lack of business. The Washington Post, for example, reported on April 9, 2020 that “Cash-starved hospitals and doctor groups cut staff amid pandemic.” That certainly isn’t what we were led to believe would be happening. Military.com reports that a Seattle field hospital set up in that city closed after three days during which it saw not one single patient. Reuters ran a story on May 1 with the headline “Little-used Navy hospital ship Comfort leaves New York after treating COVID-19 patients.” Of course, pubic officials never will admit that they were wrong. Their strategy will be to say that it was their lock down and enforcement of social distancing that accounted for the much lower than anticipated incidence of COVID-19. But their attacks on liberty and the destructive spending by Congress and money printing by the Fed, all which evils were necessitated by the lock down, strongly suggest that their approach was not the correct one.
13. Suspect attribution of cause of death: The Guardian ran a story on April 15 with the headline “New York City coronavirus death toll jumps past 10,000 in revised count.” As it turns out, the NYC added 3,778 people to the death toll who weren’t tested but were presumed to have died of the disease. That seems more like guesswork than anything else. Just last week, Project Veritas ran a story saying that funeral directors in NYC were indicating that COVID-19 death statistics were being padded by falsely attributing cause of death the COVID-19.
What shall we make of all this? It seems to me that there are two main possibilities. First, our leaders – by leaders I’m referring not only to political leaders but to thought and business leaders as well – are simply confused. They really do think that cracking down on free speech, locking healthy people in their homes, forcibly closing business, putting tens of millions of people out of work and having the Fed print oceans of bogus money really is the best way to deal with the CV. Second, they know the whole lock down social distancing thing is absurd and are simply doing this as a way of conditioning people to even more stringent lock downs and social controls in the future, perhaps culminating in some sort of world government dystopian tyranny of the sort one reads about in the book of Revelation. In my opinion, the latter is a more likely scenario than the former.
This is not to say that all politicians, business leaders, journalists and academics who support the lock downs are aware of some great master plan. But the remarkable amount of worldwide coordination going on suggests that there is some organizing agent behind the scenes. It is possible that I could be wrong about this. It is my opinion. You may have a different view. Perhaps additional study will make things clearer. But whether the lock downs and attacks on personal liberty and economic freedom just happen to have the appearance of coordination, or whether there is, in fact, a conspiracy to take away our liberties and our property, it is imperative for Christians to stand up and speak out, rebuking from the Word of God those who would encroach on our Constitution and our freedom.
It may sound strange to some to think that the Bible can be used to fight for freedom. But in truth, it is the Bible and the Bible alone, the sword of the Spirit as Paul calls it, that is our only sure weapon in in our fight against tyranny.
