“When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. We’re being pressured in-house to add COVID to the diagnostic list when we think it has nothing to do with the actual cause of death. The actual cause of death was not COVID, but it’s being reported as one of the diseases processes. … COVID didn’t kill them, 25 years of tobacco use killed.”

That’s a quote from Dr. Dan Erickson, reprinted in the Washington Times. You should read the whole article.

We should ask why. In fact, the question “Cui bono?” (Who benefits?) is an excellent question to add, as it usually is.

Is this just about greedy hospital administrators taking advantage of an opportunity? Hardly.

We have not even begun to ask cui bono, yet. This overblown police state solution to an over-hyped crisis hurts specific parties, and benefits specific parties. You’ll never understand what is happening and why unless you are curious and intelligent enough to think that through.

The Treasoncrats are determined not to let this crisis go to waste.  Traitors gonna trait; but if the RINOS and Trump cuck on this bill, you can kiss freedom goodbye forever.

By-the-by: Tucker is not exaggerating about the proposed amnesty. If the America-haters are allowed to flood our country with enough 3rd-world invaders, it will be impossible for Americans to ever win another national election in our own country.

Deep State plants around the world are doing what they can to inflate the perceived danger of the pandemic.

Tanzania has suspended the head of its national health laboratory in charge of testing for the coronavirus and ordered an investigation, a day after President John Magufuli questioned the tests’ accuracy.

Magufuli said on Sunday the imported test kits were faulty as they had returned positive results on a goat and a pawpaw — among several non-human samples submitted for testing, with technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.

Meanwhile, in Michigan:

In an interview with the insider, O’Keefe asked the insider: “You’re telling me you’re a hundred percent certain that CBS News, CBS News Corporation–national, staged a fake event. They faked the news. They faked the reality and broadcasted that to all of their audience last Friday on “CBS This Morning.”

The insider said to him: “A hundred percent. Absolutely.”

“This story was so powerful that even The Washington Post had to cover it.”

They are making the problem as bad as they can, because they don’t want more stuff like this to happen:

In Governor Whitmer’s Michigan, barber Karl Manke, 80, told the state that they’d have to taser him or haul him out in handcuffs and he’s staying open “until Jesus walks in or until they arrest me.” Manke says he can’t afford to stay closed. He’s got a high demand for haircuts and long lines at his barbershop. He’s been working 10 a.m. to midnight. He faces a $500 fine for each of 2 citations and a 90 day jail sentence and is due in court on June 6. (Daily Wire)

In Colorado, C&C Coffee and Kitchen, a breakfast restaurant, opened in defiance of Governor Polis’ orders, with about 500 customers eager to have inperson dining on Mother’s Day. Owners April and Jesse Arellano are just working stiffs who needed to be open in order to survive. (KDVR)

…People will fight for their families. They will fight for their freedom to be able to put food on the table. The left and their control will not prevail against the vast majority of Americans. We are used to being able to work, not be on the handout list. We are used to being together in stores, churches, theaters, sporting events, restaurants, and civic events. We don’t care about the ‘risks’ from the virus. That cannot be removed from our culture, no matter how much control is exerted over us as human beings. This is not China. This is not Russia.  How much longer will we tolerate this shut down? Look at what has been happening in the Defiance Movement and listen… Tick Tock.

Globalists can’t have people going back to work before their businesses are crushed and the American economy collapses. Trump has to be stopped from derailing their timetable. Also, the Democrat nominee (whether it’s Biden or a last-minute replacement) needs to be protected from scrutiny and debates (unless they can be handed the questions beforehand by the Swamp Media like in 2016). They also need an excuse for even more massive election fraud–this time via “mail-in voting.”

But it’s not only about the election. The frog is comfortable in the pot, they’re betting, and they can turn up the temperature on the stove burner. They’ve almost got him boiled. If they can milk this crisis enough to make us surrender the rest of our rights as Americans…game over.

Of course they did. We have been funding our own destruction for over a century.  Transferring wealth from American citizens to foreign enemies is just one item on the menu.

This article reveals yet another tiny little piece of evidence in an enormous mosaic.

 “Reschenthaler wrote a letter this week to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper inquiring about a Pentagon grant to EcoHealth Alliance, Inc., a New York firm that has had a history of funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology with subgrants from American taxpayers. The Pentagon grant the congressman was inquiring about was for research into bat-borne zoonotic diseases and their potential as weapons of mass destruction or biological weapons. While it is unclear if that grant saw U.S. taxpayer money flowing from it out to the Wuhan lab, it is known that another grant that EcoHealth Alliance received did partially spend U.S. tax dollars in the Chinese lab.”

We have some choices to make–and not just during the upcoming election.

1. Choices have consequences.
2. Refusing to choose is a type of choice.

Because Professional politicians see it the other way around does not make it true, or right.

Neither a Badge, Nor a 6-Figure Government Paycheck, Give Petty Tyrants the Authority to Violate Your Rights.

For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.

The American system is Rule by Law, not Rule by Men. However, city and state-level petty tyrants are having people arrested, jailed, and fined–not for breaking actual laws (real lawbreakers are being let loose on society); but for violating the emperial edicts of professional politicians.

Under Rule of Law, our public servants, whatever office they hold, are not exempt from the law themselves. They must not only uphold the law, but also obey it just like the barber or restaurant owner on Main Street, USA. These professional politicians (who have been caught breaking their own “rules” that citizens get arrested for) have no authority to issue these decrees that violate your rights (as protected by actual law); no citizen is obligated to obey them; and no court is obligated to enforce them, even though they have “the color of law.”

That some courts are enforcing these illegal orders tells you, quite blatantly, that they are not operating according to the Constitution (which they swear to uphold and which is the law of the land). Their allegiance is actually to something other than the law of our country, and they are operating according to that, instead.

They get away with it because most of the people living here let them. They obediently bend over and drop their pants.

But there is a growing minority who will not bend over, and they are armed. This is why the Cold Civil War might turn hot.

UPDATE: On a California beach, of all places, some people stood up for their right to peaceably assemble (1st Amendment). It would be nice to see patriots unite for the right to go to Church (also 1st Amendment) or conduct business, but maybe this is a start.

The swamp had to give back one of its scalps, and isn’t happy about it. Evidence of the framing/railroading of Mike Flynn is finally coming to light.

The Democrats’ response is to double down and rely on the brute force of their media dominance to peddle a lie that, if repeated often enough, will be accepted as truth. As the OSS (the CIA’s predecessor in WW II) described Hitler’s use of the Big Lie Strategy:

… “Never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”

For true justice to occur, those who threatened, lied, blackmailed, perjured, entrapped, and financially ruined an innocent man would have to face the music, now. Unlikely, but we’ll see.

As we discovered during the Obama Regime, the solution to bankruptcy is to borrow even more money.

“All these blue state governors who don’t want to open their state, now they’re clamoring for federal money to bail them out because no state revenue is coming in. We don’t have any money.”  – Rand Paul

You know what else will help? Giving more millions to Communist China in foreign aid, then borrowing it back from them at interest, while letting ChiComs raid our patent office,  steal our intellectual property; and continue strangling American businesses with more taxes and regulations so they can’t possibly produce or compete.

At this rate, they won’t have to fire a shot to destroy us.

The virus breaks out in Wuhan, China–a city of about 11 million people (bigger than the most populated city in the USA). There are two virology labs in Wuhan, which study, experiment on, and modify viruses. For years, scientists have been warning that the sloppy security at one of these labs (the one which develops weapons-grade viruses, and sits at the epicenter of the outbreak), plus the dietary practices of the local population, was a ticking time bomb.

Early whistleblowers warning of the breakout are arrested by Chinese police. Many are never seen or heard from again. One doctor, after being arrested, later was reported dead–allegedly because of the virus. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which controls all human activity in China (and a lot of the MSM and Hollywood messaging you’re inundated with every day), lies about every aspect of the outbreak, including the number of infected and dead. They claim that the virus originated in a “wet market” which doesn’t sell the species of bat the virus supposedly came from, and is located 400 miles from the nearest habitat of those bats. A third of the first victims had no connection, direct or indirect, to the wet market.

“President” (dictator) Xi locks down Wuhan and other cities in China. No travel is permitted from Wuhan to other parts of China, but travel from Wuhan to the rest of the world is allowed to continue unchecked. The virus begins spreading to other countries.

A Chinese traveler brings the virus to the USA. The first American is diagnosed with the Wuhan Virus.

President Trump restricts travel from China. In following days, he restricts travel from other countries. Predictably, the Democrat/Media Machine says he’s overreacting and calls him racist.

Another Chi-Com puppet, the World Health Organization (WHO), regurgitates Chinese propaganda downplaying the seriousness of the outbreak. They also rename it “COVID-19” in a lame attempt to disassociate the virus from the Communist regime it came from.

Leftist judges overrule the travel restrictions, allowing more infected carriers into the USA. Leftist mayors and governors, still upholding the “racist overreaction” narrative, encourage people to attend parades and other mass gatherings like nothing is out of the ordinary.

The Wuhan Virus spreads through the USA. The WHO finally admits that this is a pandemic.

Overnight, the narrative changes: now President Trump didn’t react strongly enough. It’s all his fault. Because racism, somehow. “Black and brown people” are more at risk to the virus. Yeah–that’s it: racism.

Another Chinese Communist puppet, the NBA, suspends the rest of its season. Other sports leagues follow suit. Leftist governors begin illegally shutting down their states. (It’s not just politicians and bureaucrats at the Federal level who have been colluding with the CCP for years, but also governors of both political parties.)

De facto dictators of several states continue showing their true colors.  They forbid church attendance and family gatherings, outlaw random items like paint or carpet, but keep “essential” businesses open–like liquor stores, marijuana shops, and state lottery kiosks. They have people arrested for going to church and synagogue, for playing with their kids in a park, sitting alone on a beach, or criticizing politicians for these illegal police state policies, while releasing convicted felons from prisons and onto the streets.
