Really well done, Michael. If there's a silver lining in the Covid saga, it's that people like you are doing your best to unravel the clown show that led the world to the brink of disaster.

Thanks for again asking the question about how all this actually came about. There are still quite a few influential voices that still claim that it was simply mass hysteria and copycat behavior. But that much of this disaster was already planned seems more and more obvious. The questions are: where are those connections between China, the WEF, Christian Drosden, Bill Gates, the WHO, Silicon Valley et. al. and who are the people who actually pulled the strings of the marionettes.

Thanks Mimi! Exactly. The bottom-up “mass hysteria” argument seems to be a deliberate exercise in gaslighting.

Maybe. But Mark Changizi was arguing in favor of mass hysteria for quite a long time, not sure if he still is. I haven't been reading his twitter feed lately. I'm pretty sure he believed what he was saying and had no intention of fooling anyone.

It appears to me that he is still a skeptic about there being any kind of planning or coordination:

Throwing out the idea that Gates should be virus czar stinks to high heaven.

Powerful and important article. How did all this madness actually happen? This article provides more evidence strongly suggesting that everything was planned and then orchestrated/implemented according to the plan. The end game was ... a "new normal," which is really just far greater central control of the world's population.

I note this tweet from The W.H.O's Tedros (on February 9, 2020): "All countries must use the window of opportunity created by the CONTAINMENT strategy to prepare for the virus's POSSIBLE ARRIVAL."

This tweet assumes/implies that the virus had not yet arrived in almost all countries of the world by Feb. 9, 2020 (when clearly it had been spreading for many months by then). That is, it was not too late to "contain" the virus. This of course would be nonsensical if millions of people had already been infected.

It also suggests The W.H.O. was completely clueless that a deadly novel virus had already spread around the world. The assessment of our premiere world health organization and virus experts was ... spectacularly wrong. Question: Why do so many people keep trusting the pronouncements of these public health bureaucrats and alleged experts?

Personally and fwiw, I think some of those experts knew the virus was already being transmitted person-to-person by this date.

I don't think the WHO was clueless. I think they were aware of what was going on but lied because it was part of the plan. Tedros was a terrorist anyhow before he ended up as head of the WHO. Why believe anything from that guy?

I agree, Mimi. By March 2020 when “lockdowns” were instigated, this “virus” had already ripped around the world for at least 6-8 months. Herd immunity was already achieved

That's my main take-away as well. Tens of millions of people already had been infected and thus had some form of natural immunity (at least from this early version of the virus). This information would also massively change the calculations of Infection Fatality Rates. The denominator - "number of people infected" and the numerator - number of people who died - would be entirely different. The effect would be to show that the virus was not nearly as deadly as the experts were claiming.

Needless to say (but we need to say it), the effort to "contain" the virus was impossible.

Why believe anything from any of these public health agencies - WHO, CDC, NIH, NIAID and the FDA? For that matter, the CIA and FBI. How many lies do they have to tell before people conclude these people might be serial liars?

It was clear at the time that the stock traders were pushing HARD for muzzles and lockdowns. I noticed it on Feb 20, without grasping the reasons or purposes.. I had no idea how grotesquely murderous the genocide would become. I always try for max paranoia, but I never come close to imagining the horrible reality.

Keep up the good work. The only way accountability is going rear its beautiful face is with an avalanche of information like this. What a disgusting time in life.

Fantastic journalism. This aligns w/Tomas Pueyo story you outlined beautifully. Agents that can’t be held accountable. Genius. We must find the counter move and fast.

Sounds less like a prophet, and more like a complicit and opportunistic band leader.

Great article. How did you hear about this guy?

Martin Armstrong says that the word was out, "there's a virus coming," in elite circles in early January 2020. Kind of like "who bought the puts on airlines on September 10, 2001," we'll probably never find out who made the big sell orders in January 2020.

But we know who made a big investment in Moderna in 2019.

Fabulous essay! Very well researched and written. It's just too bad that journalism today has to rely on never-ending series of twitter feeds.

If China's response was so well crafted, they can move to China any time they like

Looking through all of this the conclusion I reach is that Twitter is the place that smart people, fraudsters and governments go to take advantage of the ill-infomed, the lazy and the stupid.

Really great evidence that at least some people knew well in advance of what the “plan“ was. Do we have any background or biographical information on this guy?
