“They’re Lying To You”: If Science CAUSED COVID - what’s next?

understanding the truth around covid has become a very complex thing are there coveted lies that need to be unpacked there was an email sent to you from an executive at eco health alliance and this is one of the companies that funded some of the research at the wuhan lab and this email thanked you for basically saying you believed that the origins of the coronavirus were natural we've already discovered that a theory that it came from a lab has gone from being banned on facebook we had a video demonetized for precisely that reason and the relationship between big pharma and media their big advertising spenders probably prevents truth ever being correctly conveyed let's have a look at where we are now with coronavirus our social political narratives and are we being lied to on an enormous scale if they're lying about this what else are they lying about this theory about the lab the theory that a virus leaked from the lab in wuhan was once very much on the fringe of science but it's now certainly in the u.s being seen as a mainstream possible explanation for the pandemic how i see that is not that it sort of moved from the fringes into the mainstream i feel like it was initially quashed and denied primarily because it positions science awkwardly if sciences and progress are the solution to all of our problems then it's important that pharmaceutical companies and science more generally can be presented as the solution to the problem of coronavirus if science caused coronavirus by gain of function experimentation meddling in the lodge domain then our whole cultural narrative as science and progress as the driving force between human endeavor that starts to collapse and fall apart this is the fact checker at the washington post offering an explanation early efforts to spotlight a lab leak often got mixed up with speculation that the virus was deliberately created as a bio weapon one way to sort of quash that kind of speculation would be absolute transparency not repressing information because it wasn't convenient now i'll mention again a report in 2017 showed that with the exception of cbs every american major media outlet shared at least one board member with at least one pharmaceutical company that means there's literal physical crossovers between the media and pharmaceutical companies the same human beings furthermore drug companies spent five billion a year on advertising with these media outlets consider the amount of profits that pfizer are likely to make from the vaccines moderna was a company in a lot of trouble before these vaccines came about and johnson johnson are going to need every penny they make from the vaccines to pay for lawsuits coming about as a result of their talcum powder causing cancer and it does make me think if they can't manage talcum powder i don't know what i'm dealing with vaccines that made it easier for many scientists to dismiss the lab scenario as tin hat nonsense doesn't it make you think what other things that are being dismissed as tin hat nonsense are also potentially true doesn't it make you realize that what's necessary from the media is not a total line in accordance with their big partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and their relationships with government but to commit themselves to truth otherwise you can't trust them on anything with the exception of cbs every major media outlet in the united states shares at least one board member with at least one pharmaceutical company let me put that into perspective these board members wake up they go to a meeting at merck or pfizer then they have their driver take them over to meeting with nbc to decide what kind of pro a programming that network is going to air so of course there's a financial ties between the media and big pharma but deeper than that there are ideological ties the ideological tie that defines our time that science and progress is what defines the human journey if science is not the solution to kovid but potentially the cause of kovid that reframes our entire narrative our entire strident march for greater and greater progress our reliance on big tech and big tech billionaires and geniai all of that suddenly has to be questioned because of this breach in the accepted narrative here in the country which saw the first coronavirus clusters the government has vigorously denied any responsibility for the pandemic the problem for the rest of the world is that the hunt for the origins of the virus has become so overtly political another perspective is that the media of course are highly partisan and that partisanship affects their objectivity even in areas where you wouldn't imagine that it ought to not even when not specifically talking about party politics the lab leak theory it says in the new york times was associated early on with republican china hawks given prominence by conservative publications and eventually picked up by the trump administration there was a self-reinforcing pressure among journalists who covered the story and twitter experts who were pined on it to put the possibility in the q anon box and leave it there well that shouldn't happen that makes me wonder what else is in the q a box that shouldn't be there also when you hear it explained like this the theory that it came from a lab was always circumstantially plausible given that the outbreak started more than a thousand miles from the bat habitat where similar viruses have been discovered but a stone's throw from an important laboratory studying coronaviruses was treated as pure conspiracising by mainstream news outlets and facebook content warning providers for too long i mean that is extraordinary isn't it like and kind of ridiculous and again makes you question what other motives are there other than reporting the news here is some information here is some information it's not just that it's not an open channel it's a channel that's blocked by all kind of interests and biases in fact increasingly it looks like truth is not even a component of course journalism has like a rich heritage and heroes in it you know like the watergate scandal and even more recently glenn greenwald nebuchadnezzar like incredible campaigns and exposes by people in that field and profession but more lately it's clearly become a tool for numerous cultural reasons i'm sure of the establishment the same new york times journalist says in the trump era there was an impulse to tell the reader exactly what to think lest by leaving anything ambiguous you gave an inch to right-wing demagogy well that's not right is it like the idea that that has to be done that you have to bleach away the possibility of contemplation don't you have any trust in people like that if you're right you just tell the truth and that's going to be enough like hey listen the trump folk are saying this thing and uh yeah it might be true actually but what's so terrible about that no it's trump everything's evil no it's wrong it's like you know now you've become the very thing that you are purportedly opposing editorializing lying propagandists and in this case an enemy of truth and a threat and danger to the lives of ordinary people it can take anywhere from three days to a full week before the media reports on a drug or medical device recall if they report on it at all in the case of invokana for example it took 32 days before media outlets reported about an fda warning about the product creating too much acid in the bloodstream the fda began warning about the dangers of cook ivc filters as early as 2010 and then it was took five years before the media started paying any attention to that that's interesting isn't it because i suppose what that is is evidence of a disjunct between the required transparency of the media and the actual way that news is reported particularly in regard to pharmaceutical products and we know there is a long history of pharmaceutical companies behaving irresponsibly of prioritizing profit over the health of their customers if they are further abetted in this negligence by media partners that will either obscure or entirely neglect that information it means that we have even greater cause for cynicism and doubt this is a case history that's all you can look at is this as you can say this is what happened previously based on what happened previously what do you think is happening now if in the past they were dishonest about pharmaceutical companies or they corroborated scientific negligence through their lack of reporting what do you think they're doing now if initially they ignored the story that that could have come that the coronavirus could have been started in a laboratory why would we not at least consider other more extreme ideas why would we not because of the same media because of the same government interests for me that is the real challenge you do open the door to more extreme ideas you can't that by crushing it you do the opposite uh the quote that appears in the comments a lot is from the game of thrones one when you cut out a man's tongue you don't tell people that you dominate him just that you feel what he might have to say sorry for mangling that i know a lot of you really like that quote but the fact is is this kind of censorship causes more doubt not less drug companies spend about five billion dollars a year on advertising with these media outlets so when you have a case against pfizer or merck or eli lilly or any of the other major pharmaceutical companies do you think those board members are going to let you get on the air and tell a story that's bad about what they do or are you naive enough to believe that they really don't interfere with the day-to-day operation and it's not just mainstream media it's social media facebook of course put a content warning and in some cases demonetized content that uh reported nicholas wade's theory that it could have come from a lab that coronavirus could have come from a lab in fact we had video a video demonetized for precisely that reason so because information is censored or referred to as conspiratorial that don't mean it's not true that just means people don't want to believe it i sent a message to the prime minister at 7 48 that morning um and forgive my forgive the language the the that this is expressed in bias but i might as well just say what i actually said in the uk where i live dominic cummings former high high level government advisor has recently been like dropping bombs on his former ally boris johnson which gives us a rare insight into the architecture of government obviously cummings is an experienced media player so everything he says has been through a pretty um sophisticated filter i would say but let's have a look at some of his public revelations about what's been happening in the uk to see if we can speculate about the type of things that might go on more broadly we've got big problems coming the government office is terrifying as no plans totally behind the pace we must announce today not next week if you feel ill with cold or flu stay home some around the system want to delay because they haven't done the work he should be more worried about his digestive system is burping his way through his entire statement we must force the pace we're looking at a hundred to five hundred thousand deaths between optimistic and pessimistic scenarios what uh i think about this is it's just interesting to recognize because of the sheens of branding and propaganda behind which government operates you never sort of think of them unless if you're watching like an amande annucci sort of show like thick of it or veep or whatever i don't mean these are just people going oh no these things happening oh what are we going to do just put that out keep that out of they're just human beings that's what kind of makes a mockery of it we then got completely derailed because um in the morning of the 12th suddenly the national security people came in and said trump wants us to join a bombing campaign in the middle east tonight it's funny it sort of sounds like do you want to go over the park do you want to do a bombing campaign in the middle east no stop bombing in the middle east leave them alone and then to add to the it sounds so surreal it couldn't possibly be true that day the times had run a huge story about the prime minister and his girlfriend and their dog and the prime minister's girlfriend was going completely crackers about this story and demanding that the press office deal with that there was a bit of me that is so curious about what that story is though what did that dog do so we had this sort of completely insane situation in which part of the building was saying are we going to bomb iraq part of the building was arguing about whether or not we're going to do quarantine or not do quarantine the prime minister has his girlfriend going crackers about something completely trivial sadly we all got very confused and ended up bombing the prime minister's dog with kovid luckily it got better nobody could find a way around the problem of the prime minister just like a shopping trolley smashing from one side of the aisle into the other the images gets up reads the papers says wait what are they doing today and then cannons around actually licky's finger he shouldn't be doing that i hope he washed his hands afterwards that was the main thing i was saying number 10 was not operating on a war footing in february on this in any way shape or form lots of key people were literally skiing in the middle of february that's mad in it they're all off on holiday and that when people say oh no you know we've arrived at the best system of government you haven't have yeah if it's all like people worrying about their dogs and off on skiing other things and licking their fingers and sticking them in the air we're way off that's i can think of a few areas for immediate improvement don't go another day always have people there ready to run things in constant communication don't worry about the dogs in the public eye domain stop licking your finger the secretary of state for health should have been fired for at least 15-20 things including lying to everybody in multiple occasions in meeting after meeting in the in the cabinet room and publicly i think there's no doubt at all that many senior people performed far far disastrously below the standards which the country has a right to expect i suppose what it shows you is something that you should understand that even when you're dealing with a pandemic a global situation that involves pharmaceutical companies the world media and every single one of us with the perception of truth shifting as time goes on that the people that are in charge are not sort of like channels of pure consciousness with nothing in their minds and hearts but the well-being of the world's population they're flawed individuals with all kinds of prejudices and biases and pre-existing relationships with people like you you'll do a deal you can make people you better not tell anybody that i'm worried about my dog in april we have this terrible pledge which was hugely distorting the whole system we also had constant repeated lying about ppe the cabinet secretary said to the prime minister in almost the first meeting when he came back prime minister the british system is not set up to deal with the secretary of state who repeatedly lies in meetings that's exactly what's been set up for it's always been some version of that when you start to look at the accumulation of incompetence ineptitude the bogus peculiar relationships the disingenuity the relationships between big pharma and the media it scares me it makes me more open to hear the results of other people's independent research people that aren't in financially tied up with pharmaceutical companies or media or big business it makes me query oh why is this thing been banned why are you not allowed to talk about this theory it makes me open to those ideas i think we should be open to them i think that decisions about lockdowns quarantines vaccines should be made again it's like with democracy on the basis that they're telling us that those decisions are being made on this is scientifically beneficial for all of you we've got absolutely nothing to hide we can trust these organizations they've not done anything the path in the past that leads us to worry about them we don't have any muddy or peculiar relationships between each other that prevent us from being clear and honest and open with you it's all cool that's not what's happening the government rhetoric was we put a shield around care homes and blah blah it was complete nonsense quite the opposite of putting a shield around them we sent people with covert back to the care homes thank you she said thank you for doing that we sent it back to the curbs thank you because i hate my nan thank you that's extraordinary i spoke before one of those things they're not doing anything this is all big circle jerk of nonsense obviously if you want real change real change will not come from within institutions that have as their primary function self-preservation whether those institutions are economic financial ones and corporate ones or government ones they are predicated on self sustenance and offer you us limited change within that small space you can have these people you can have these people but this structure that underwrites it cannot alter it and the structure that overwrites it cannot alter either when the public needed us most the government failed and i'd like to say to all the families of those who died unnecessarily how sorry i am for the mistakes that were made and for my own mistakes of that he made himself cry there a little bit didn't he probably have to do another trip to our barnard castle for oh see the eyes are working now yep they're working they're good as gold i'm feeling the emotions again well look dominic cummings just a human being what a giddy silly inec dishonest disingenuous peculiar complex mess and i suppose as i've said before the implication is that we have to do our own research as you say and be clear and transparent with one another i certainly will be approaching all matters related to this subject prudently judiciously calmly like even though i'm talking about some controversial ideas here i'm not trying to make this any more incendiary i've tried to remember that this is a person-to-person situation we're dealing with relationships and fears and people with different priorities and different concerns and the only way to navigate such a choppy territory is with kind of clemency and compassion and understanding and non-judgment of one another on a human level but a different kind of discernment when it comes to dealing with powerful media powerful farmer powerful government i mean pharmaceutical not powerful type farmers just for the sake of clarity well if you enjoyed that video and i hope you did please press like and post it around and subscribe

This is what our billionaire owned government does.

They fuck up in a major way - Iraq war followed by the 2008 crash followed by the pandemic.

Each event was CREATED by the U.S. government. And each event had the same exact results.

Poor people died and suffered.

Rich people got so fucking rich they don't know what to do with their money.

Alameda County’s new COVID death toll is 25% lower than thought

They knew the "guidelines" they were given were over-counting deaths, but had decided to wait until it was largely over before making corrections.

This video from Dr. Chris Martenson reveals that 4 of the authors of a Nature Medicine article that pooh-poohed the lab origin hypothesis, had participated in a conference call with Fauci 8 days before this article was submitted. One of these co-authors, Kristian Andersen, had prompted the conference by emailing Fauci that he thought that some features of the virus pointed to bioengineering. Amazing how he had changed this view so precipitately after the conference! The Fauci emails pertinent to the conference obtained via FOIA request were heavily redacted, so what went on in the conference is impossible to discern. Martenson is of the decided opinion that a cover-up was plotted in the conference.

With daily revelations about the COVID origin, Wuhan, and Anthony Fauci, as well as information we already know regarding Big Pharma and its influence on mainstream media, how much can we trust what we've been told so far?
