So Many People Are Perplexed with the Covid-19 Lockdowns, Mask Requirements, Social Distancing, Loss of Jobs, Homes, and Their Very Sanity
So many people are perplexed with the Covid-19 lockdowns, mask requirements, social distancing, loss of jobs, homes, and their very sanity. What lies behind all of this? There have been so many conflicting reports that one has to ask the question, Is there even a pandemic at all? Was there ever one? Let’s have a look. ======================== Strange advance hints (predictive programming) – A 1993 Simpsons episode called “Marge in Chains” actually accurately predicted the coronavirus outbreak. One scene depicted a boardroom meeting between government officials and major media moguls. The chairman opened with these words: “I’d like to call to order this secret conclave of America’s media empires. We are here to come up with the next phony baloney crisis to put Americans back where they belong…” Suddenly a delegate from NBC chimed in: “Well I think…” Then the chairman interrupted him, saying: “NBC, you are here to listen and not speak!” He then said: “I think we should go with a good old fashioned health scare.” Everyone then nodded in approval. Next, a female delegate remarked: “A new disease–no one’s immune–it’s like The Summer of the Shark, except instead of the shark, it’s an epidemic.” – Another Simpsons episode called “A Totally Fun Thing that Bart will Never Do Again,” first aired on April 29, 2012, featured an emergency broadcast announcing the outbreak of the deadly “Pandora Virus,” and how it was “spreading rapidly.” The announcer then said: “This unprecedented threat requires a world-wide quarantine. All ships must remain at sea until further notice. -
AN ETHICO-EPISTEMIC PERSPECTIVE on COVID-19 Jude I. Onebunne* Abstract the Chequered History of Humanity Is Reckoned with Diseas
AN ETHICO-EPISTEMIC PERSPECTIVE ON COVID-19 Jude I. Onebunne* Abstract The chequered history of humanity is reckoned with diseases and has recorded outbreaks of dangerous and contagious diseases often referred to as plagues otherwise pandemics. These disease outbreaks ravage humanity interfering greatly in the course of history and at times, signaling the end of an entire civilization in other to reintroduce a complete new world order. At the dawn of Anno Domino 2020, amidst great expectations of pomp and pageantries of a promising new year, we woke up to the confusing news of COVID-19, the brouhaha of the novel Coronavirus disease. Like a joke amidst inherent confusion on its nature, structure and curative status, COVID-19 started spreading geometrically and like a wild fire with corresponding death tolls. This paper tries to critically view and review the whole episode surrounding COVID-19 Pandemic while at the same time appreciates the role of philosophy in the proper and effective handling of COVID- 19 that has come to stay like other pestilences of the past. Keywords: Philosophy, Ethics, Epistemic, COVID-19, Epidemic, Pandemic Introduction Humanity has over the time experienced deadly and brutal outbreak of virulent diseases. They were simply vicious and vile killers in human history. Epidemics, endemics, plagues and pandemics are all part and parcel of human existence that has to do with ill state or poor health of man. Most often, what may be regarded as worrisome as epidemic turns out to be mere sickness in other parts of the world like the dreaded Malaria and scary typhoid fever. -
Pandemic Planning , File Type: PDF, File Size
July 2021 Dear ATISN 15194 – Pandemic Planning Thank you for your request to the Welsh Government for information under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) received on 03 June 2021. I have interpreted your requested information regarding pandemic planning as follows: 1. What plans were in place for a potential future pandemic before the COVID19 crisis began? 2. What conversations were had at ministerial level, before COVID19, about the potential of a future pandemic? 3. What plans are now in place for a future pandemic, if any? Our Response What plans were in place for a potential future pandemic before the COVID-19 crisis began? Wales, together with the rest of the UK, has been preparing its response to an influenza pandemic for many years. In 2007, Wales participated in the UK level (Tier 1) pandemic flu exercise Winter Willow, which led to the development of the 2007 National Framework for Responding to an Influenza Pandemic. This framework was used to support our Welsh Government response to the 2009 H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic. Although the H1N1 pandemic was not as severe as initially predicted, it did identify areas for further planning and Wales worked with the other UK governments to put in place the UK Influenza Preparedness Strategy 2011. This UK Strategy was agreed by the Health Ministers of all four nations. In 2016, our pandemic influenza plans were tested during Exercise Cygnus. The subsequent lessons identified were taken forward into an ongoing review of pandemic preparedness led by the UK Cabinet Office and Department of Health and Social Care. -
27Th APRIL 2020
27th APRIL 2020 19 COVID-19 REPORT SUMMARY • The number of confirmed deaths as a result of COVID-19 has now passed 200,000 with Johns Hopkins University confirming almost 2,980,053 cases worldwide. • On 25th April, the UK became the fifth country in the world to record 20,000 hospital deaths as a result of COVID- 19. The UK death toll currently stands at 20,732. • Several Muslim majority countries have now begun to soften COVID-19 measures in preparation for the holy month of Ramadan with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Algeria all shortening curfews that had been in place. • Multiple US States and European countries have begun to ease lockdown restrictions having instituted plans to begin reopening shops. • The World Health Organisation has warned that Africa could see as many as 10 million cases of COVID-19 within three to six months. In the last 10 days alone, the continent has seen a 40% rise in new COVID-19 cases. • A second wave of locusts has descended on East Africa and the swarm is estimated to be 20 times bigger than the first invasion at the end of 2019. Amidst the COVID-19 global lockdown, pesticides and bio-pesticides usually sourced from countries such as Japan, Morocco and the Netherlands, have become more expensive and harder to obtain. Further to this, protective clothing worn when using pesticides have been taken for those combating this coronavirus outbreak. • The World Health Organisation has warned against introducing ‘immunity passports’ for people who have recovered from the COVID-19 virus, citing that ‘there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from Covid-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection’. -
Bio-Warfare Narratives May Chill Pandemic Cooperation No
ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue Bio-warfare Narratives May Chill Pandemic Cooperation No. 688 Dr Christina Lin April 2020 Bio-warfare Narratives May Chill Pandemic Cooperation Dr. Christina Lin April 2020 Abstract After a temporary détente between the US and China to put aside the blame game and cooperate to fight Covid- 19, it seems conspiracy theories are once again flaring up and sabotaging joint efforts to control the pandemic. Washington is pushing a narrative that the virus may have escaped from a Wuhan bioweapons lab, while Beijing has a counter-narrative that US soldiers may have brought the virus from a Fort Detrick bioweapons lab to the October Military Games in Wuhan. As this escalates, and just as both countries are flattening the curve to consider reopening their economies, the sudden tit-for-tat bio-warfare narratives may throw both countries back into chaos.

Conspiracy...Not Theory the Decade of Vaccines
Tamara Holmes BSc., P. Geo. May 8, 2020 Conspiracy...Not Theory The Decade of Vaccines. A well-documented agenda by Bill Gates to vaccinate every person on the planet. And there's an end game. What's the truth? What's fiction? What's real? What's not? What's allowed to be said? What's censored? Why? What is happening in the world while you are fed minute by minute updates on COVID-19? Have you heard the phrases COVID-19 and Conspiracy Theory interlinked since lockdown began due to the virus SARS-CoV-2? Have you seen the backlash when doctors and scientists question what they see on the ground? Accused of being dangerous by sharing mistruths with the public, they are then censored for having a different interpretation of the same data that challenges the story we are told by the organizations we trust. I decided to investigate for myself whether any of the claims I was hearing or seeing could be true. It was just too far-fetched for me to believe or want to consider. I needed to see the sources. From my dining room table, while just another displaced person under lockdown, I discovered well documented and publicly accessible information that clearly defines a global vaccine agenda. The players comprise private, public and philanthropic organizations on a worldwide stage. While each organization's agenda/action plan, on a stand-alone basis, appears straightforward, when they are viewed from a holistic conflated perspective, the overarching narrative begins to bend sinister. The more I dig, the more I find. -

Health authorities in China Hdetected novel coronavirus as the causative agent for the pneumonia cases and the virus was initially named “2019-nCoV”, which was later renamed as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Owing to the virus virulence and its contagious nature, WHO declared novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. With the steep rise in number of people infected with the virus outside China, WHO stated the eruption as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 [1]. Owing to the plight of wildlife habitat, poor health system, and global connectivity, COVID-19 wouldn’t be the last time a virus would jump from animal into humans To increase pandemic resil- and endanger humanity.

Newearth University COVID-19 Intelligence Brief Thomas J
NewEarth University COVID-19 Intelligence Brief Thomas J. Brown, NewEarth University This NewEarth University COVID-19 Intelligence Brief informs from primary sources, a distillation of data contrary to the official narrative, from the most reliable mainstream and alternative sources available, to allow intelligent decision-making. The scope is daunting, with new information flowing by the minute in an ever-evolving crisis. This is but a snapshot of a period in the event stream. The message however is clear, mainstream media distorts, official infection and death numbers are intentionally exaggerated to create fear, virus and vaccine science is unsettled, despotic tendencies in bureaucrats emerge. We direct the reader to researching the ideas and links in this paper to keep abreast and make intelligent decisions for the betterment of humanity. The greater picture is not amenable to sound bite reality, and thereby requires intelligent consideration of diverse data streams. Discussion: ● Pandemic Origins ● Virosphere ● Viruses and Exosomes -- Germ and Terrain Theories ● SARS-CoV-2 Testing -- General, Variable and Corrupted ● Pandemic Fraud ● Problems with Coronavirus Vaccines ● Low Cost Available Treatments ● Dissenting Governmental & Professional Voices ● Global lockdown -- Crackdown on Human Rights ● Conspiracy? ● Rapid Implementation of Untested 5G Technology ● Conclusion Pandemic Origins The official narrative is that a pathogenic virus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in bats and jumped to humans via unsanitary conditions at a Wuhan wild animal food market, where, unsurprisingly, no bats are sold.1 The attendant disease is termed COVID-19. There is evidence it was active around the world prior to the official story.2,3 A secondary narrative attendant to this is that SARS-CoV-2 is the product of Chinese bioweapon research being undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) near to the market and was accidentally or intentionally released. -

The following text is Chapter VII of Prof Michel Chossudovsky’s E-Book entitled: The 2020 Worldwide Corona Crisis: Destroying Civil Society, Engineered Economic Depression, Global Coup d’État and the “Great Reset” , (December 2020, revised January 2021) click the above link to access the complete E-book consisting of a Preface, Highlights and Nine Chapters. Introduction The plan to develop the Covid-19 vaccine is profit driven. The US government had already ordered 100 million doses back in July 2020 and the EU is to purchase 300 million doses. It’s Big Money for Big Pharma, generous payoffs to corrupt politicians, at the expense of tax payers. The objective is ultimately to make money, by vaccinating the entire planet of 7.8 billion people for SARS-CoV-2. The Covid vaccine in some cases envisages more than one shot. If this initiative were to go ahead as planned, it would be the largest vaccine project in World history and the biggest money making operation for Big Pharma. The Second Wave of the pandemic commenced in October 2020. The Pfizer Moderna corona vaccine was launched in early November 2020. Worldwide, people are led to believe that the corona vaccine is a solution. And that “normality” will then be restored. How is it that a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which under normal conditions would take years to develop, was promptly launched on the 9th of November? | 1 Moreover, the vaccine announced by Pfizer and Moderna is based onan experimental gene editing mRNA technology which has a bearing on the human genome. -

Beware of RNA-based Vaccines. Potentially Serious Injuries.

In Switzerland too, the government wanted to ram this infamousAgenda ID2020 through without any public debate. However, the swiss still have the constitutional right to a referendum, for which they gathered sufficient signatures to oppose Agenda ID2020 – and, would you believe, the government’s plan to outsourcing its management to private companies! – The referendum will be put before a people’s vote on 7 March 2021. With Swiss government’s propaganda (paid for with tax-payer’s money) against the referendum, propaganda carried out by the Swiss Executive which is against the Swiss Constitution, chances are that the Swiss will once more vote against their own interests. (See this) In how many other European countries will this nefarious Agenda ID2020 just be pushed through the legislative – or validated by an Executive Order – without the public at large even noticing? This is about a universal digital identification that eventually contains all – meaning ALL – personal information, including intimate private data, information from vaccinations, to health records, behavioral patterns, police records – to bank and other financial records and much more.
