Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie
Take whiskey down, let's talk, ain't no bread in breadbox come that day
I believe that it is not certain that we can continue to do as we have done so far, that is, to fight or act in the name of principles and concepts such as democracy, the constitution, law, which perhaps we already knew, we long ago saw losing their meaning. So you can of course continue to wage battles in the name of our rights, but you can do it in a tactical way. Strategically, I think, it may be futile, in the sense that facing a government that ignores legality, it seems a bit vain to invoke human rights. And I repeat: what sense would it make to invoke rights to Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini? It doesn’t make sense, we should not try to counter those who have abandoned all legality with the talk about rights. We are facing a government that has abandoned all legality. If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand the situation we are in.

o picture the self-inflicted nature of the Covid catastrophe, simply replay March 2020 in your mind's eye. There, with the benefit of hindsight, you will not only re-visualise but perceive more readily the contrived and controlled chaos set in train as politicians, technocrats and corporate media presstitutes pull out their Ipads, pull up the transcript of Event 201 — the pandemic simulation held on the very eve of the 'crisis' — and begin "flooding the zone" with "the narrative" — on cue, in unison, as scripted.
SUDDENLY: Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Fearful dystopian terms like "lockdown," "self-isolation," "new normal," "Great Reset" assail the senses; nations and cities close up; citizens are locked in; "the house of prayer" [Lk 19:46] is shuttered; the sacraments suspended; government monitoring ratchets up; brutal police crackdowns ensue; economies freeze; stockmarkets plunge; unemployment skyrockets; supermarkets empty; executive power and control burgeon...
For the minority who refuse to park their brains permanently in neutral, these sci-fi scenes of scripted homogeneity immediately recalled 11 September 2001; the "catastrophic and catalysing event" Zionist Neocons had publicly touted in September 2000 as the only means of accelerating their deathly agenda of "regime change" throughout the Middle East.(1) Precisely twelve months later, that lone "event" did indeed catalyse globalist goals through a studiously undefined "war on terror" that ushered in a state of "permanent emergency"; extreme executive powers; the Homeland Security monolith; mass surveillance beyond Stalin's wildest dreams; the relentless WMD scam; and the carnage of U.S. wars.
What an amazingcoincidence it all was! http://christianorder.com/features/feature_2021-04.html
The Pandemic Virus Industrial Complex-2021-Dr. Joseph Mercola
Latham describes the pandemic virus industrial complex as “an interlocking set of corporations and other institutions who feed off and support each other with goods and services in a self-reinforcing way.” It is an enterprise that leverages public money for private profit. He also notes that many of these participants play unexpected roles. For example:
Philanthropic organizations act as string-pullers, influencers and profit centers
The Defense Department is both a cash cow and a provocateur
Academia provides public relations via legacy media controlled by philanthropic organizations and the drug industry
Academic nonprofits act as money launderers
“These nontraditional roles are intended to confuse and camouflage the various moving parts of what is a complex situation,” Latham says, “thereby protecting the whole from scrutiny.” While there are many similarities between the military industrial complex and the pandemic virus industrial complex, there’s an important difference between the two.
The pandemic virus industrial complex is public facing, and is expected to be beneficial and transparent. As such, it has an image of respectability that must be maintained, and that is why academics and philanthropic and nonprofit organizations play such important roles in this scheme.
Together, they help obscure the real agenda under a veneer of respectability and public good. In essence, they maintain the illusion that everything that’s taking place is for the betterment of mankind when, in reality, it’s a profit-making scheme.
Latham believes the pandemic virus industrial complex has played a decisive role in the effort to obscure the likely origin of the pandemic. He also believes this is the missing framework that helps explain the politicization of the pandemic.
Previous Obscuration Attempts of Manmade Outbreaks
In his lecture, Latham reviews some of the history of this viral pandemic industrial complex. In 2014, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa was decisively blamed on zoonotic transfer from infected bats. According to a report in EMBO Molecular Medicine,1 a 2-year-old boy playing with bats in a tree stump was Patient Zero.
However, while the paper failed to produce conclusive evidence to support its conclusion, Western media ran with this story. In West Africa, however, the rumor was that the real source of the outbreak was a hospital in Sierra Leone, which housed a biological laboratory where research on Ebola and related viruses, such as the lassa fever virus, was being done.
This research was largely funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. The reason for this funding was a recent upgrading by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the lassa fever virus as a Category A infectious substance, meaning a pathogen likely to be used as a bioweapon by terrorists. The research was carried out under the auspices of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium, led by Harvard University.
The Consortium is also tied to other academic institutions, including Tulane University, Scripps Research Institute, the University of California, San Diego, the Broad Institute of Boston and the University of Texas, as well as a number of private drug companies. According to Latham, statements made by some of the people involved in the research suggest they were taking advantage of West Africa’s lax and inferior biosecurity standards.
In his book, “The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa: Corporate Gangsters, Multinationals & Rogue Politicians,” Chernoh Bah provides evidence showing the Patient Zero story was a fraud. The young boy died at 18 months of age, far too young to play with bats, and he was never diagnosed with Ebola. Neither was anyone in his family. The first recorded case of Ebola was actually found in Guinea, some three months after the little boy had died.
Bah also found other gaping holes in the narrative. For example, despite widespread sampling, no Ebola virus was ever found in any animal, and no animal die-offs occurred before the outbreak, which tends to be typical in natural zoonotic spillover events. Despite the obvious problems with the official narrative, no formal investigation of the lab leak theory was ever performed.
Follow the Money
According to Latham, we can learn a number of things from this story. First of all, lab escapes are likely more common than we think, and widely considered zoonotic outbreaks may not be zoonotic in origin at all. Another example is the AIDS epidemic, which you can learn about in the book “The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS.”
The second thing we can learn from the West African Ebola story relates to the money trail. The U.S. Department of Defense funded the research done by the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium. Other oft-used alternative sources are public health funding and international aid. Whatever the case, be it biodefense, public health funding or relief aid, the money comes from We the People.
Thirdly, corporate members of the Consortium had a specific business model in mind, and it had nothing to do with protecting vulnerable Africans from lassa or Ebola. The goal of drug companies is to sell vaccines, drugs and diagnostic tools, primarily to the U.S. or European militaries.
The fact that the 2014 Ebola outbreak narrative went unchallenged shows a disturbing lack of academic rigor, and it was certainly not the first time. As noted by Latham, scientists are failing in their role to pursue and promulgate knowledge and understanding.
“Instead, more and more frequently, academia creates fictions,” he says. T
hey create “convenient, self-serving narratives.” Legacy media works hand-in-hand with such academics, acting as a megaphone for their dubious scientific claims.
