Guest Post by Ron Paul
For months, the Washington Post and the rest of the mainstream media kept a morbid Covid-19 “death count” on their front pages and at the top of their news broadcasts. The coronavirus outbreak was all about the number of dead. The narrative was intended to boost governors like Cuomo in New York and Whitmer in Michigan, who turned their states authoritarian under the false notion that destroying people’s jobs, freedom, and lives would somehow keep a virus from doing what viruses always do: spread through a population until eventually losing strength and dying out.
The “death count” was always the headline.
But then all of a sudden early in June the mainstream media did a George Orwell and lectured us that it is all about “cases” and has always been all about “cases.” Death, and especially infection fatality rate, were irrelevant. Why? Because from the peak in April, deaths had decreased by 90 percent and were continuing to crash. That was not terrifying enough so the media pretended this good news did not exist.
With massive increases in testing, the “case” numbers climbed. This is not rocket science: the more people you test the more “cases” you discover.
Unfortunately our mainstream media is only interested in pushing the “party line.” So the good news that millions more have been exposed while the fatality rate continues to decline – meaning the virus is getting weaker – is buried under hysterical false reporting of “new cases.”
Unfortunately many governors, including our own here in Texas, are incapable of resisting the endless lies of the mainstream media. They are putting Americans again through the nightmare of forced business closures, mandated face masks, and restrictions of Constitutional liberties based on false propaganda.
In Texas the “second wave” propaganda has gotten so bad that the leaders of the four major hospitals in Houston took the extraordinary step late last week of holding a joint press conference to clarify that the scare stories of Houston hospitals being overwhelmed with Covid cases are simply untrue. Dr. Marc Boom of Houston Methodist said the reporting on hospital capacity is misleading. He said, “quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now.”
In fact, there has been much reporting that the “spike” in Texas cases is not due to a resurgence of the virus but to hospital practices of Covid-testing every patient coming in for any procedure at all. If it’s a positive, well that counts as a “Covid hospitalization.” Why would hospitals be so dishonest in their diagnoses? Billions of appropriated Federal dollars are being funneled to facilities based on the number of “Covid cases” they can produce. As I’ve always said, if you subsidize something you get more of it. And that’s why we are getting more Covid cases.
Let’s go back to the original measurements used to scare Americans into giving up their Constitutional liberties: the daily death numbers. Even though we know hospitals have falsely attributed countless deaths to “Covid-19” that were deaths WITH instead of FROM the virus, we are seeing actual deaths steadily declining over the past month and a half. Declining deaths are not a great way to push the “second wave” propaganda, so the media and politicians have moved the goal posts and decided that only “cases” are important. It’s another big lie.
Resist propaganda and defend your liberty. That is the only way we’ll get through this.

I wish Ron Paul could be interviewed every night, as a counter to every mealy mouthed talking head, pumping out the party line.
The reality is: Due to the constant rising cost of health care, and the decreasing coverage of health insurance,
no one other than the hypochondriacs, even consider visiting the dr. or the new “urgent/primary care” facilities that have popped up, as secondary locations to major hospitals.
the people that do go, are the ones who do not pay the bills, the lonely, the deranged, the tired single mom who just wants some attention on a Friday night. (these are the people who I had to sit with, with a broken wrist a few summers ago, it is crazy town in all these hospitals)
So the medical industrial complex expanded to meet and imaginary demand, and now has to pull in .gov to pay for all their mis-allocation of capital.
this explains why every patient who seeks medical attention, for a few stitches/broken bone to any other ailment, is tested for the common cold, and found positive, to get a few extra sheckles from the system.
The ((Virus)) is a complete hoax, designed to cover up the fact that all western countries are bankrupt, and have promised too much, to the masses, and will now be re-nigging (or is that re-jogging) on all their commitments, while devaluing your savings to reduced their debt load.
sounds like a plan hatched by the devil her self.

You can see the destruction this Hoax is doing here.
The Virus is very contagious. I don’t think it was worth destroying the countries economy over though.
Since the “Lame Dream/Scheme Tedium” lied about the PLANdemic from the get-go, what else is to be expected? Fact is, the “LSDT” has been engaged in status-quo maintenance by fairy tales since, well . . . FOREVER.
But what if the kid is asymptomatic and gives it to grandma, who is on hospice care, and she dies? Won’t society blame the young kid for the death, after blaming Trump, that is. /sarc
The goal seems to be to shut down the economy then shut down the local governments due to a lack of funding. Then the national government will be shut down due to bankruptcy.
What then?
A very important question to ponder since our national government has become so dysfunctional and spending money it doesn’t have.
I am beginning to question this Covid-19 and what it really is. Flu virus normally goes away in the summer but we are told it is infecting more people. More people testing positive but with the implication that these positive testing people are infected or capable of infecting others? Why is there so much ambiguity in what we are being told?
Could it be that we are at war with China but this war is biological? Look at India who is fighting with China at their border and yes India is experiencing a high infection rate. What is going on?
We also seem to be going through a financial breakdown leading to an economic depression. Our leaders have no solutions or even talking about solutions. And this is because we have the most incompetent people in the history of this country in power over us.
We are fast becoming a failed nation and not one bullet was fired at us from our enemies without. We are failing from within.
There is no one in the coming 2020 election that can save this country. Think about that for a minute. Our two party system is full of empty suits with ego’s as big as the financial bubbles that have been created in our fraudulent financial system. These empty suits are in it for themselves. They carry no vision for the people; only empty words.
The only hope I can see for this country is for the people in their communities to start forming social networks for their security and well being. Start a bartering system, childcare center, teaching center, central cafeteria, thrift shop and vocational repair facility within these social networks.
Don’t count of local government for anything because they will be broke. Don’t worry about permits or licenses for anything.
To put it bluntly government has failed us so we have to start from the bottom up to recreate government in our communities then on the national scale. We won’t have to worry about outsiders because the people are armed to the hilt. Something others nations don’t have.
My two cents from my objective observations. I do not listen to subjective opinions because subjective opinions are nothing but fantasy.
And one more thing. Count on finding & seeing many dead bodies. Many people will not be able to cope with the coming economic breakdown of our country. In order to keep up public safety we will have to bury them where ever we can.
I learned a long, long time ago that one benefit of doing a good job every day is the ability to sleep at night. I cannot imagine how those bastards sleep at all.
The FED/ J. Powell already blamed the economic crash on Covid. It looks like they are going to ride the Covid hoax to the complete implosion of the economy and the impending reset. Mr. Covid takes all the blame because it sure couldn’t be our glorious leaders.
