A fairly long read that encapsulates all that has happened regarding the 'pandemic' that we've been dealing with. Well worth the time.

Quote:Panicked by fears manufactured by the ruling class, the American people assented to being put essentially under house arrest until further notice, effectively suspending the habits, preferences, and liberties that had defined our way of life. Most Americans have suffered economic damage. Many who do not enjoy protected status have had careers ended and been reduced to penury. Social strains and suicides multiplied. Forcibly deferring all manner of medical care is sure to impose needless suffering and death. In sum, the lockdowns’ medical and economic dysfunctions make for multiples of the deaths and miseries of the COVID-19 virus itself.

Bad judgments and usurpations—the scam, not the germs—define this disaster’s dimensions. The COVID-19’s devastating effect on the U.S. body politic is analogous to what diseases do to persons whom age (senectus ipsa est morbus) and various debilities and corruptions had already placed on death’s slippery slope.

Outside of the few who have gained (and are still gaining) power and wealth from the panic, Americans are asking what it will take to end this outrage—not to modify it with any “new normal” decided by who knows whom, on who knows what authority. Since no one in authority is leading those who want to end it, Americans also wonder who may lead that cause. What follows suggests answers.

What history will record as the great COVID scam of 2020 is based on 1) a set of untruths and baseless assertions—often outright lies—about the novel coronavirus and its effects; 2) the production and maintenance of physical fear through a near-monopoly of communications to forestall challenges to the U.S.. ruling class, led by the Democratic Party, 3) defaulted opposition on the part of most Republicans, thus confirming their status as the ruling class’s junior partner. No default has been greater than that of America’s Christian churches—supposedly society’s guardians of truth.

The Covid Coup

lol it took this long....

many on this board have been all over the bs from day 1...

Never forget the left is not driven by science nor by the economy. Their primary motivation is to get and/or hold power:

The Covid Coup

As to churches. Virtually all mainline denominational churches are left leaning or left controlled there are many reasons for this which I'll be happy to discuss in a dedicated thread or by PM.

Southern Baptist churches are each autonomous but they have suffered the loss of some with very wealthy left leaning members who were pro homosexual. The others (mainline denominations) have now all suffered splits and their more conservative spinoffs will get no air time with the MSM when the "Church" is called upon to speak on a subject.

Independent churches have no voice nationally because they don't have a lobby in Washington. The fact that the World council of churches is in Washington and extremely left oriented (if not downright Marxist) should explain why the mainline denominations have offices or a presence of some kind in Washington which of course is expensive and keeps that money from going to Christians in need.

So the point is there is no voice coming out of the apostate church because they are one with Globalism and virtually all of its agenda.

You are correct. My mistake and apologies. I've updated to a similar post from Bill Maher instead that makes the same point.

I'll provide the bullet for Maher
