Comment — April 2, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic is nothing new. Every so often the flu virus mutates and a new strain of flu emerges. Whether this mutation is the result of deliberate human interference is another matter entirely. Covid-19 may indeed have been created by scientists, but I’ll leave that to others to decide if it was and why.
The point is that these viral mutations occur and the Covid-19 is merely the latest.
The world has seen similar pandemics in the past, like the Hong Kong flu of 1968-69. However, in contrast to the corona virus Hong Kong flu did not result in a global shutdown. This was despite the fact that the Hong Kong flu eventually spread worldwide
More importantly it did not put half the world’s population under virtual house arrest. For that is how half the world is now living. In effect we are living under a form of “soft” martial law, for now at least.
Instead, during 1968-69 life carried on without the media broadcasting endless scare stories about the dire effects of Hong Kong flu, as we are now seeing with corona virus (Covid-19).
That in itself is remarkable because in the U.S. alone Hong Kong Flu left an estimated 100,000 dead. While worldwide the total was close to million fatalities. Yet Hong Kong flu produced nothing like the media frenzy we are now seeing with corona virus. Why?
Does the media coverage of the corona virus “pandemic” amount to a psy-op? And if that is indeed the case what is the ultimate objective? Is a climate of fear and apprehension being created, under the pretext of a “global pandemic”, in order to justify the imposition of martial law worldwide?
