Eugyppius has published a must-read piece on what to make of Event 201, Dark Winter, SPARS, and all those other strange pandemic simulations and wargames that took place in the decades prior to COVID-19. The main point is that despite their authoritarian overtones, these simulations are of remarkably low quality and don’t seem to resemble any real plan—much less one that was actually followed. Rather, their primary purpose was simply “fundraising and publicity,” justifying the perpetuation of the pandemicist enterprise in itself.
One point I’d like to emphasize is that Eugyppius subtly notes it was really the unexpected influence of the Chinese Communist Party that made the response to COVID, in particular, so over-the-top. Prior to that point, the pandemic simulations and war games were actually relatively hands-off.
Via China and pressure from the WHO, mass containment came to be added at the very last minute to the standard mitigationist playbook that the pandemicists had been peddling for a generation. This is why the messaging shifted so suddenly after February 2020. Until that date, we were in the standard world of Event 201, and authorities talked down the risk of the virus in an effort to prepare us all for the inevitable infections and deaths. Mass containment, adopted with the Italian lockdown in March, required a vastly more hysterical and overblown messaging strategy, in an effort to convince all of us to hide at home…
Virus fantasies like Event 201 and SPARS reflect a prior epidemiological interest in specific pathogens, and they serve to focus the attention of the public health brigade further on specific viral species. Monkeypox and the 2009 Swine Flu show that pandemicist attention alone – in the absence of any serious mortality – is enough to generate widespread hysteria. These are prophecies, but they are mostly self-fulfilling ones. That is also why the laboratory origins of SARS-2 are such a big piece of this puzzle.
What’s missing from all these planning scenarios – what every last one of them fails to predict – is the steely biomedical dictatorship that emerged to ruin all of our lives in 2020. Nobody in any of these wargames is ever locked up in their homes. Public health officials respond to the off-message EpiGirl with press releases, not threats and deplatforming. There are no green passes. The unvaccinated are never deplored or fired. Part of the reason is that, before 2020, lockdowns had never been part of the plan, and they gave public health bureaucrats a chance at overt and direct repression, which they’d never counted on before.
Despite the narcissism of billionaires and public health apparatchiks quietly simulating pandemics, virtually all the worst aspects of the response to COVID that we consider so anathema to western values actually emerged quite suddenly in 2020 and 2021, in each case originating from sources with strange connections to China. These include mass containment and lockdowns, mask mandates, authoritarian propaganda slogans, sweeping censorship policies, and even digital vaccine passes, as well as the fact that the entire “idea of mass containment emerged in the wake of SARS” following China’s SARS lockdowns in 2003. This is also why evidence that the “laboratory origins of SARS-2,” while most likely biologically impossible, have been deliberately stoked by the CCP is so significant; because the mere idea of a novel lab-made virus was enough for “pandemicist attention alone…to generate widespread hysteria.”
For this reason, I’ve stressed that the blitz of CCP influence in 2020—especially the abrupt philosophical shift brought about by the CCP’s reports that they’d eliminated the virus from China through their strict Wuhan lockdown in February 2020—and the widespread cover-up of this influence by western elites, is the most important aspect of this story from an historical and geopolitical perspective.

although I tend to believe in a guiding hand behind the scenes, I am going to reread the Eugyppius article. This morning I read a large part of it, but being prejudiced, I rejected it. But you are the third of my Follow group who agrees with him. I might need to rethink my reasoning ! Spartacus seems to follow the plandemic version. I have given up the idea of the wuhan story when I hear Dr Martin and his research in the particles of the 'virus'. Work to be done ! Thanks for the article ! This is what real science is - a dialogue and rearranging your thoughts !
Jacinda of NZ was very involved in communism prior and post her election. Probably explains, in part, her extreme version of corona response in NZ. Also her attempts to censor all dissident voices.
