Well said as usual, Michael.

I would suggest one copyedit if I may, that you change "the" to "as" here:

"...citing the fact that Covid has supposedly claimed over a million American lives".

That mortality statistic, constantly regurgitated by news media and individuals with zero context re historical all-cause mortality or comorbidities, is, as you know, one of the most irksome pretexts cited as justification for the multi-year collective pant-shitting episode.

What happens when the top five asset managers worldwide -- Fidelity, State Street, PNC, Blackrock, Vanguard -- control most of the Fortune 500 in the US? Eventually, they have to look for something else to conquer. What's the next biggest market? China.

So, what we're witnessing is these companies effectively linking up with the CCP to spread their power and influence worldwide. You don't undercut your business partners.

What did the response to the pandemic do? It destroyed many of the mom and pop businesses, effectively giving their market share to Target, Amazon, WalMart, fast food and casual dining franchises, Home Depot, etc. -- thus further enhancing the positions of the Fortune 500 companies these asset managers control.

If one wonders how Fidelity, Blackrock, Vanguard, etc., amassed so much power in just over 30 years, ask yourself this question: When was the last time you voted on a shareholder issue put to vote for a company owned by a mutual fund in your 401k? Never.

So, who does the voting? Blackrock, Fidelity, etc. They vote your shares. Who gave them control? We all did. And they're joined at the hip with China.

You're right. Xi Jinping benefits from the pandemic policies the western elites imposed. I suspect these elites are a part of the CCP's "elite capture" plan.

If the May/June George Floyd protests had not happened and not been endorsed by the public health officials with their letter, those elites promoting lockdowns would have more credibility along with the power. Now they have no credibility but they still have power & more money. Xi Jinping must be pleased.

Think money for the sycophancy. Lenin was right "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Syncophancy is a great word. So great my spell checker doesn’t want me to spell it. Yes it is a political alliance with China for many reasons. Not the least of which are alliances like WEF or whomever the current Godzilla's of what Catherine Austin Fitts calls “Mr. Global” in fact are. China is their fascist poster child but the rest are rapidly catching up. We could write many volumes on why it is China.

Many if not most of our Dear Leaders are bought and paid for by their CCP friends.

Not Sycophancy. Accompliceship.

“Covid is not over. The pandemic is not over.”

What a persuasive argument! Why didn’t I think of that?

Michael it is so true, someone is 'getting their cake and eating it too'. It makes ZERO sense with all the hoo haa of a million deaths from the Wuhan virus -out of China, and ZERO righteous anger to have compensation for those deaths from Xi. These sicko-phants are just that, sadistic just like their sicko master.

Do you know german journalist Thomas Roeper and his perspective on the Covid crisis? He wrote a very interesting book. What's your opinion on that?

It is most probable that the global economy collapsed on our about Feb. 20, 2020, according to French economist Henri Lepage. https://inference-review.com/article/enter-the-coronavirus Did COVID cover it or push it off the cliff...a bit of both? Remember that in the fall of 2019, the Chinese and Indian governments sent letters to the NY Climate fest demanding that the West 'Pay Up!' on the promised $100 billion/yr Green Climate Fund. https://blog.friendsofscience.org/2019/09/18/pay-up-say-china-and-india/?highlight=pay%20up%20china%20and%20india But the West was broke. It is important to note that many large pension funds like Canada's Pension Plan are invested in China, probably hoping they could capitalize on the growth rate there, while decimating Western investments, esp in energy. So if all the Western government pension plans in the world have a stake in China's economy (not known for a fact, but assumed), but the West cannot fork over a promised $100 billion/yr Green Climate Fund as promised, perhaps something happened. Certainly the climate-addled West is just committing energy and economic suicide. https://blog.friendsofscience.org/2021/03/01/when-giants-arise-the-real-world-of-ghg-emissions-and-growth/ Likewise, the Western OECD nations have ~$78 TRILLION in unfunded pension liabilities - so it is in the interest of western governments to have many people die or leave public service jobs to reduce pension liabilities. https://www.pionline.com/article/20160316/ONLINE/160319898/oecd-countries-facing-78-trillion-in-pension-liabilities-citi-report That sounds crass, but what other conclusions can you draw from lockdowns...which will certainly kill more people/shorten life spans, than the COVID epidemic. These are somewhat speculative comments, but to me, they make sense of the otherwise irrational measure of the past few years. Thoughts/comments welcome.

"And sycophancy toward China is the only possible explanation."

I think you may have this backwards. A good question people should ask - what powers were responsible for China becoming the financial powerhouse it is today? Western elites.

Great post Michael. I do have one humble recommendation... I've been calling these people "elitists" not the elite. They are far from elite. They just think they are, thus they are by definition (until they change it anyway): elitists (IMHO). Keep up the great work! :-)

Possibility 2.1. They had incentives to work for the same cause.

a. USA individuals have worked on GOF research with the Chinese colleagues. Therefore, USA wanted to cover this up.

b. China is probably the largest factory for the western relatively freer world especially USA. Therefore, USA wanted to cover this up. (compare to the Russian response)

c. USA Pharma

d. Everything else you've covered so far

e. Probably something else as well which I am not aware of.

Debbie Lerman had a different and equally plausible hypothesis recently; the Western elites knew and still know how dangerous the manipulated, enhanced virus is that got leaked out of Wuhan because their intelligence agencies informed them. If they informed their populations of the truth that would cause a massive intercontinental panic and the total breakdown of their societies. See: https://brownstone.org/articles/the-catastrophic-covid-convergence/ So, on top of the wish to avoid a world war with China, they made contradictory mitigation policies regarding the virus because they had to hide the truth about it and yet needed to save as many lives as possible through draconian emergency powers. The constant see-sawing on the lab leak theory is also indicative of their need to control that narrative for crowd control and conflict avoidance reasons.

When I was at uni, I learned that a pandemic was a once in a hundred year event and that an epidemic was a once in a 30 year event on average. I also learned that pandemics usually have two waves, a large primary wave and a smaller secondary wave. If we take this information at face value, then we need to identify the mechanisms that are keeping the 'emergency' going.

When newspapers are reporting on how to tell the difference between a cold and covid, it is time to move on.

Public Health (or Health Security as it is now known) has failed us. The policies implemented for this pandemic have caused more harm than good in my opinion.
