The Variant Scare And The Global Reset

Yesterday LifeSiteNews carried an article by Dr. Joseph Mercola regarding the ongoing attempt--using the supposed threat of Covid 'variants' or mutations--to scare the populace into continued compliance with unreasonable and unscientific restrictions of their freedoms. The overarching theme of Mercola's article is that the more freedoms we surrender in hope of an elusive 'safety' to be gained--a 'safety' the date for which continually recedes into an ever more distant future--the more freedoms we will end up surrendering. We will, in effect, wind up neither free nor safe--from a predatory soft totalitarian State.

Over-hyped COVID variants are being used as part of a campaign of fear to destroy freedom

At some stage, you must realize that the more you give in and obey, the more you have to give in and obey. There really is no end to what they can take from you, and holding on to the belief that your government would never [fill in the blank] is becoming more dangerous by the day.

First, Mercola provides a quote from two Yale epidemiologists dating to a year ago--near the beginning of the Covid scare. These two epidemiologists decry the "harmful" use of the supposed threat of mutations to gin up fear in the midst of an epidemic--or, for that matter, in the midst of a disfavored presidency:

“A recent scientific article suggested that the novel coronavirus responsible for the Covid-19 epidemic has mutated into a more ‘aggressive’ form. Is this something we need to worry about? No, and here’s why …

The effects of mutation in real life are nuanced and generally innocuous. Using the idea of mutation to incite fear is harmful, especially in the midst of an epidemic like COVID-19 …

The genetic material of the virus is RNA, not DNA like in humans. Unlike with human DNA, when viruses copy their genetic material, it does not proofread its work. Because RNA viruses essentially operate without a spell-check, they often make mistakes.

These ‘mistakes’ are mutations, and viruses mutate rapidly compared to other organisms. While this might sound frightening, mistakes during replication usually produce changes that are neutral or even harmful to the newly generated virus. Neutral mutations, which neither improve nor hinder viruses' survival, may continue to circulate without any noticeable change in the people they infect.

Mutations that are harmful to the viruses are less likely to survive and are eliminated through natural selection. Fortunately, when mutations occur that help a virus spread or survive better, they are unlikely to make a difference in the course of an outbreak.

Viral traits such as infectiousness and disease severity are controlled by multiple genes, and each of those genes may affect the virus' ability to spread in multiple ways. For example, a virus that causes severe symptoms may be less likely to be transmitted if infected people are sick enough to stay in bed.

As such, these traits are like blocks in a Rubik's cube; a change in one characteristic will change another. The chances of a virus navigating these complex series of trade-offs to become more severe during the short timescale of an outbreak are extremely low.”

This, even a year ago, was not news. It wasn't some scientific breakthrough that these two epidemiologists were presenting in a CNN article rather than in a peer reviewed scientific journal. They were simply presenting the current scientific consensus--arrived at over many decades of concerted study--and that consensus remains the consensus today. And yet, in the name of science the public is being buffaloed with false scare stories about the danger of 'variants' and 'mutations.' This is, as the authors state, "harmful" to genuine public health initiatives. It has fueled the harmful school lockdowns and continuing ineffective mask mandates--to offer just two examples.

The obvious question, then, is: Why is this going on? Why are people who know better trying to scare us? I think we know about the political motivations, but is there more going on?

Mercola transitions at this point to a recitation of the various false narratives that have been perpetrated to heighten fear and justify restriction of freedoms: The falsification of death totals, using unscientific death classifications; the transformation of the pandemic into a 'casedemic' by means of an unscientific use of PCR results; all this to justify continued draconian lockdowns until our one and only salvation, the only possible safe harbor: vaccines!

But ...

As lockdowns continued and people started to grumble, the “experts” in charge of this global organization (or more accurately, reorganization) warned that this was the new normal. Settle in. Get used to it. The virus doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, so our only hope is a vaccine. We just have to keep it together until then, and then we’ll all be safe again.

Alas, flies in the ointment appeared in the form of inexpensive treatments that worked just fine, and scientists and medical doctors sharing concerns about these novel “vaccines” that really aren’t and the public health dangers of lockdowns.

This necessitated widespread attacks on effective medical treatments--treatments that were widely documented to be successful. Why? Because the 'experts' are desperate to use their "vaccine that really isn't" on us. But people seem to be catching on. As a result, the authorities are having to resort to various forms of coercion to get more people to participate in the experimental use of "vaccines that really aren't." Even so, there is widespread resistance:

And so it continues. The sky hasn’t fallen yet, but we’re promised that unless we comply, it surely will. Any day now. Just a matter of time. Obey, and the experts will make sure we survive the inevitable pandemonium. Now, vaccine passports are being rolled out, and both private companies and entire nations are considering restricting any sense of normalcy to vaccinated-only. Aren’t you tired of chasing the goal post yet?

Mercola then presents a lengthy quote from a WSJ article (3/18/21) by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who attacks the record of the 'elite' experts. It's not too much to say that DeSantis launches a full broadside against the 'elites':

“The COVID-19 pandemic represented a test of elites in the U.S., from public-health experts to the corporate media. The results have been disappointing. Policy makers who bucked the elites and challenged the narrative have been proven right to do so.

By "policy makers who bucked the elites" DeSantis, of course, is referring to himself and some handful of other governors.

 

To begin with, highly publicized epidemiological models were as consequential as they were wrong … The lockdowns failed to stop the virus but did a great deal of societal damage along the way — damage that a more targeted approach, seeking to reduce total harms, would have been able to avoid (and did, in places like Sweden and Florida) …

Elites sent conflicting messages about the efficacy of cloth masks, the uniformity of risk across age brackets, the danger of outdoor transmission … Perhaps most damaging to public trust was the public-health campaign urging ‘15 Days to Slow the Spread’ … Going from ‘save the hospitals’ to ‘zero COVID’ represents one of the greatest instances in history of moving the goal post …

Think back. Do you remember the initial justification for the lockdowns? It was to--in DeSantis' phrase--'save the hospitals.' The lockdowns were supposed to prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed with dying people. That tidal wave of seriously ill and dying people never happened--except when Dem governors shunted sick people into nursing homes filled with the truly vulnerable. But when the tidal wave failed to materialize, note this well--restrictions were not relaxed. Except by forward thinking governors like DeSantis.

 

While it was abundantly clear by May that schools represented low-risk environments for the spread of COVID and that the consequences of prolonged school closures were potentially catastrophic, the corporate media did its best to obscure the data and stoke fear and panic among parents and teachers.

Had the media presented the data on schools in a rational fashion with proper context and perspective … millions of students would be in markedly better shape academically and socially.

For months we were told to ‘trust the experts,’ but far too often over the past year those who were most influential in our society — in public health, government and media — proved incapable of rising to the moment … We cannot simply undo the harm caused by flawed policies advocated by our elites, but we can resolve that we never let this happen to our country again.”

Again, the question arises: Sheer incompetence (never to be underestimated) or ... design? Mercola, rightly, focuses on the definition of 'elites'. After all, who thinks Tony Fauci is really a free agent--unbeholden to the influence of higher authority? If you really believe that, I'm here to tell you that, well, that you're wrong. Mercola will tell you that, too:

DeSantis’ definition of “elites” is basically prominent public health and corporate media leaders. That may be appropriate for the critique offered in his article, but even these influential individuals are mere foot soldiers in the bigger scheme of things.

Above them towers a pyramidical power structure populated by globalist entities — nongovernmental organizations, think-tanks, private corporations and billionaire philanthropists — many of which we’ve never even heard of, and who rule without being seen.

And here Mercola sketches out the current situation, where we stand with regard to those who rule without being (for the most part) seen, and what their real objectives are:

The idea being presented, as DeSantis pointed out, is that we now have to reach a COVID-free state before we can start living life again. Meaning, as long as there’s a single specimen of SARS-CoV-2 anywhere on the planet, the whole world is at risk, as it will spread and grow, so no one can live as they please until the virus has been eradicated.

The goal post is now so far in the future, we can’t even see a glimmer of it in the distance anymore. The old saying, “Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile,” seems apt at this point.

At some stage, you must realize that the more you give in and obey, the more you have to give in and obey. There really is no end to what they can take from you, and holding on to the belief that your government would never [fill in the blank] is becoming more dangerous by the day.

It’s also important to realize that your government isn’t the ultimate power. Our government officials take orders too, believe it or not, from what is now commonly known as the deep state. It’s not a government at all, but a global, hidden power structure that is accountable to no one, while influencing and manipulating everyone to bring about a new world order.

Conspiracy theory? The fact is, we've seen repeated examples over the last several years of the global elites marching in narratival lockstep--regarding Covid, regarding Trump, regarding Russia. All aided and abetted by a Tech - Social Media Complex. Mercola maintains that this is no longer conspiracy theory, because the Global Elite--the Davos based World Economic Forum (WEF)--has come out into the open by rebranding the New World Order as the Great Reset--Build Back Better, as the Zhou Baiden regime would say. And of course, that's the point--to Build Back Better you first need to tear down what currently exists, right?

Mercola presents a video of Harry Vox from 2014 discussing these issues of a global ruling elite. Listen critically, but do listen. You don't have to buy into everything Vox says to realize that he may be on to something very important. And realize, Vox is speaking in 2014, before so much of this has risen to public attention:

In years past, this shadowy cabal of power brokers were referred to under the term the New World Order. In 2020, the World Economic Forum came out on the public stage and announced the Great Reset, which is nothing but the NWO rebranded. So, it’s a conspiracy no more.

In the video ..., investigative journalist Harry Vox talks about disease outbreaks, quarantines and curfews being essential tools in the ruling class’ toolkit, and how these tools were planned to be used to usher in the next phase of control.

The interview, which took place seven years ago, sounds more than a little prophetic today, as these three indispensable tools for totalitarian control have been part of our reality for the past 12 months. In it, Vox also refers to “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development,” a document by the Rockefeller Foundation, in which they lay out their “Lockstep” scenario, which details the global response to a lethal pandemic.
