Guest post by Paul Craig Roberts
In a recent interview with Geopolitics & Empire — https://guadalajarageopolitics.com/2022/01/18/paul-craig-roberts-it-may-well-be-the-end-of-the-world/ — Hrvoje Moric asked me if there was an explanation for the uniformity of countries’ Covid policies with even the “free world” shutting down civil liberties with tyrannical lockdowns, mask, vaccine, and passport mandates, and falsified pandemic and death data. I said it looked very much like a conspiracy but that I did not understand how such a far-flung conspiracy could have been organized and wondered if it was simply stupidity and lemmings following lemmings over the cliff. If I had read prior to the interview Kees Van Der Pijl’s new book, States of Emergency (Clarity Press, 2022, https://www.amazon.com/States-Emergency-Keeping-Global-Population/dp/1949762483/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BSTKPISXM0JT&keywords=States+of+Emergency&qid=1642866367&s=books&sprefix=states+of+emergency%2Cstripbooks%2C81&sr=1-1), I would have had a better answer.
Kees Van Der Pijl, an author of distinction, writes that the global ruling class or oligarchy used Covid-19 to seize power by declaring a state of global emergency. He explains that the Information Technology revolution by creating a global information and communication system was ushering in a social transformation inimical to the oligarchy’s hegemony over society. In order to stop this transformation, the global elite used lockdowns, mandates, censorship and controlled narratives to seize control over populations.
Van Der Pijl makes a cogent argument. He shows that the “pandemic” is a political emergency, not a medical one. Its purpose was to suppress populations and transition to an authoritarian state and social structure. The elites’ abandonment of class compromise resulted in populist movements against elite control. To prevent a revolutionary force from emerging, a “Covid crisis” was used to advance authoritarianism and override objections from the people and from independent medical scientists. The orchestrated “pandemic” provided perfect cover for establishing a surveillance society on the basis of medical emergency without having to use overt violence.
The “Covid Pandemic” emerges as the most threatening example to date of Disaster Capitalism in which catastrophes are orchestrated in order to advance economic and political agendas.
Van Der Pijl believes that the global elite’s power seizure will fail. It is too counterfactual and affects elite interests differently, giving rise to conflicts within the global oligarchy. He says that as it becomes clear that we have been deceived, the elite and their institutions will lose authority, and the path will be clear for a better and more open democratic society.
Van Der Pijl has provided us with a very interesting and eye-opening book. If his book is widely read, people will gain immunity to the self-serving narratives of the global elite.

It will not be enough to become aware…….
Replacing it with a “more open democratic society” is only a slightly worse option than autocratic rule.
what? pretense doesn’t count for anything?
I was just going to comment something to this effect, HSF.
‘The covid deception is a power grab’
Ya think !?
The foundations for Babel 2.0
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <—=== "ye shall be as gods"
I don’t understand the Babel reference to Covid or the Great Reset.
Controlling the whole freakin’ world!
I assume it’s in reference to
The Tower of Babel. If so, the story is about trying to reach heaven, not about controlling everything.
They were attempting to storm heaven and rule! Gen.11: 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Fundamentally, what we are witnessing is a war against God and those created in His image. It masquerades as an ecumenical political response to the emerging populist rejection of the corporate/fascist control of western society along with chinee style totalitarian “government is god”. Nearly 2 years ago I first began to comment, tweet, post, ” The covid scam is terrorism and those who promote it are terrorists “. Looks like i got that part right. And, oh yeah, Let’s Go Brandon!
Shame about the Amazon link. Get with the program, Roberts!

Why isn’t there any talk of year to year total/overall worldwide deaths? Comparing total deaths between each year going back 5 or so years. Would that make a convincing argument on whether Covid is bullshit or not?
The thing is, the legislation governing responses to medical/pandemic “emergencies” was put in place over a period of years between one and three decades ago. In different countries around the globe, and at federal, county, and state levels here in the U.S., all similar legislation and regulations granting “emergency powers”. Everyone you’ve ever voted for (or even against) has been party to it, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
The global elite also tried to falsely create a “global pandemic” out of H1N1 a decade prior to covid.
This has been in the works a long time. I frankly think they still weren’t quite ready for prime time; but their orchestration of a financial collapse/reset was in danger of getting out of their control and so they pulled the trigger on the “pandemic” emergency. I think they were forced to rush things a little bit. Or maybe not, maybe it has all been according to plan. One thing is sure: there was a plan.
Yep.
Yeah – you’d think the mere fact that countries AGREE on the scamdemic, and at the same time the impending war rumblings among the same countries continue would be a clue that these things don’t just “organically” happen!
This is all part of a very old plan many of were aware of. Some have prepared accordingly and started decades ago. It’s not surprising that the same information has to be repeated over and over, individuals just don’t get it! It’s sad the world has had two years to notice what was going on and prepare accordingly. But they don’t they live in their comfortable world of La La Land. The biggest joke the Puppet Masters have and are killing their own supporters in fact the ones that obey are the ones most affected.lol
you want to know the short-term plan Read Agenda 21 and agenda 30. You want to know the mid-term plan that still ongoing? Read the Albert Pike letter. You want to know the long-term plan that still ongoing and is the end game? Read the Bible, we’re in the Final book!
IT’S my conclusion after 2 years there is NO virus. I knew something was wrong back when it started and told people to ignore them and RETURN to work back in May of 2020.
Why was it so obvious to me but no to others? Heck, even after 2 years of this phony sh it it’s just as WORSE and possible even more so. I see more people with mask on even OUTSIDE by themselves.
This can only make the ‘elite laugh hysterically instead of Hillaryously while no one is looking.
And what’s worse is that Covid proved that 1/2 of the US wants an authoritarian government. These are the blue state folks. They are also the same folks hiding in their basements afraid to go outside and when they do, they’re driving around by themselves in their car with a mask on. Total cowards and they’re running this country.
