Belarus has been one of the few nations in the northern hemisphere to resist introducing nation-wide quarantines and other large-scale restrictions in its battle with the new coronavirus, instead preferring a targeted response.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has expressed concerns over how powerful nations and interests may try to use the coronavirus pandemic to reshape the world to their own advantage.
“I once asked the question: is this pandemic, this coronavirus, a man-made phenomenon? I don’t know the answer yet, but I have my suspicions. Are politicians and others using this situation for their own purposes? You and I both know the answer to that question. You already see how it is used today…Doesn’t it seem to you that the powerful forces of the world would like to remake the world, without a ‘war’ (Emmanuel Macron has already called it a war), through this so-called ‘corona-psychosis’, or ‘info-demic’? Many people are asking: ‘what will happen after the pandemic?’” Lukashenko said, speaking to Mir TV in an interview airing Friday.
Lukashenko has insisted that Belarus’s economy continue to operate as normal, even if this means risks to his political popularity, saying he could imagine what would happen to the country after the pandemic is over if it were to shut down.
“What will happen to us? Other countries will survive. Russia has oil and gas which the world including China needs. China is a huge, powerful economy. America has the [dollar] printing press – they’ve thrown in $2 trillion and plan to spend $2 trillion more. My friend [UN Secretary-General] Antonio Guterres, a sincere man, has proposed printing money worth ten percent of global GDP. Even as things are the dollar is gradually losing its value, and here it will just drop, giving rise to inflation. Where we will come out of this with our [Belarusian] ruble we know,” the president explained.
“Moreover, who will receive these $20 trillion? Where will this money end up? Will it not be a case of the rich getting richer, while the poor get poorer? I think it will. We’ve been pushed to shut down and sit and eat through the small reserves we have. Even in Russia it cannot be said that its currency reserves are so large,” Lukashenko said.
“And then, having printed out this 10 percent of global GDP, those who stay on their feet will come to us and say ‘here is a little for you, but now you will do what we say’. That’s how the world can be reshaped,” he warned.
The president noted that he has no doubt that the world will be a different place when the pandemic ends. His main concern now is what place Belarus will have in this new world.
Belarus has 351 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection to date, as well as 4 fatalities. The country has rejected broad coercive restrictions to fighting the virus, preferring a strategy of pinpoint measures including quarantine for people with the virus and testing anyone coming into contact with them. Belarus’s factories and farms remain open, as do educational institutions, shops, restaurants and other public amenities, and the country has not closed its borders with its Russian neighbor.
OMG!!! That man’s a genius. That the best, God-dam statement I’ve ever heard! He should be made President!!!
dummy he is already President.
Mr President – kudos to you!!!
He is a voice of reason and truth in the midst of a hoard of lying, corrupt, despicable political leaders in most other nations of the world. On this Palm Sunday I thank the Lord that the names of Trump, Xi, Putin, Johnson, Merkel, Macron, Conte, Trudeau, Frederiksen, Sánchez, Kurz, Modi, Mohamed, and all others who deliberately participated in this totalitarian confinement and impoverishment of the people of their nations, will go down in ignominy forever.
It has been a bad year for respiratory flus. COVID-19 testing has huge false positives which are being used to hike numbers. Also, hospitals are being instructed to hike numbers listing COVID-19 as the “primary cause” of death even if it is not. Our governments are clearly behind the unnecessary psyop shutdowns.
“HUGE! From CDC Website: Hospitals to List COVID-19 as Cause of Death Even if It’s “Assumed to Have Caused Or Contributed to Death” – Lab Tests Not Required”

The globalist cartel behind his psyop have deliberately confused the world. It is deliberate globalist confusion orchestrated by a lying cartel-controlled media and by the corrupt money-grubbing politicians I have named and their mentors.
He is playing the good cop role very well indeed.
He is a totalitarian dictator and leader for life. He doesn’t need a virus to wrest control of the people. They love their captor ! ( Stockholm Syndrome )
He is a pariah in the West, viewed suspiciously by Russia and loathed by opponents in exile or jail, but Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko is relishing his notoriety as Europe’s last dictator. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-belarus-lukashenko-idUSBRE8AQ0FK20121127
A Belarusian presidential candidate was dragged from his hospital bed and arrested today, just hours after police beat him and other protesters who rallied against an allegedly rigged election victory for the hardline leader, Alexander Lukashenko. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/20/presidential-candidate-dragged-from-hospital
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Well said Fred B. Maybe the truthseeker website should consider inviting you to be one of their writers.
Lukashenko is a brave man but he is in danger. Hic country is in danger. Reptilians used to punish with death for such disobedience (Qaddaffi or Hussein or Ceausescu case).
His country may be affected by Egyptian plagues. Hopefully Russia’s protection will be strong enough.
Yeah but he’s still introducing 5G which means he doesn’t have much regard for his people.
