Rixon Stewart – March 20, 2020

Governments around the world are clamping down in response to Corona virus and the UK is no exception. Britain will be shutting all schools across the country from Monday.
Schools will not be closed to all children however. There will be exceptions and this includes the children of health and social workers, the off spring of those who work in education, key public services, food, local and national government and, of course, security and police.
Although there’s an extensive list of exceptions it doesn’t alter the fact that together with other measures to contain Corona virus, this will have a dire effect economically.
Given that the death rate from Corona virus in the West is no more than seasonal flu – 0.5 to 1% – this seems like an overreaction. And that’s putting it mildly.
After all, in recent decades we’ve seen a string of health scares, most of them entirely unfounded – SARS in 2004, Avian flu in 2008, MERS in 2012, Zika in 2016 among others. But none has drawn such a sweeping response from governments as the Corona virus scare.
The media itself is adding to public fears. So even though Britain’s chief medical officer has openly acknowledged that Corona virus has a mortality rate of just one percent, government and media alarmism is helping to largely obscure this.
Thus the following quote appeared in the Guardian and it confirms that the mortality rate for Corona virus is essentially the same as seasonal flu:
“Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer, said that worst-case scenario planning projected that 80% of the country would contract the virus, with a 1% mortality rate…” (emphasis added)
So only one in every hundred people who contract Corona virus will die, and those who die will be either very old or suffering from some other underlying health problems. Crucially, however, Whitty’s quote appears under the headline:
“Coronavirus: as many as 10,000 in Britain may already have it, says PM”
Moreover, it only appears after a string of alarmist statements about Corona virus being the “worst public health crisis for a generation”.
In fact you would almost think that the Guardian was trying to bury Whitty’s statement for it is then followed by the equally alarmist:
“…This equates to more than 500,000 deaths.”
Have we ever been so thoroughly and repeatedly warned about the threat of any other recent pandemic? Or are governments and the media actually trying to stoke public anxiety and fear about Corona virus?
It has been suggested that the Corona virus outbreak has been used to distract attention from and explain the impending market crash.
Certainly, some Washington insiders seem to have known what was coming. Senator Richard Burr, the head of the Senate intelligence committee, and his wife sold stocks worth millions of dollars in the weeks prior to the market crash that came with the Corona virus scare.
Burr wasn’t the only Washington player who seemed to know what was coming. At least three other senators sold off substantial stock holdings before the market collapsed, among them Senator Dianne Feinstein, of California.
As with American Airline stocks before Sept. 11, 2001, some seem to have known what was coming and made a lot of money in the process.
In fact, this is all eerily reminiscent of the aftermath of 9/11 and we know what followed that: the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, 7/7, a string of false flags and a phoney War on Terror.
Call it a hunch but I suspect that the Corona virus scare foreshadows a new chapter in the global elite’s plan for total dominion. More ominously, the various measures that are being proposed to “protect our health” all suggest some sort of domestic clampdown. Moreover, we cannot refuse to comply because these measures are to protect the health of others too.
Those who refuse will pay the price. Like the Isle of Wight man who wouldn’t “self-isolate” at home and who now faces prison and/or a hefty fine.
Meanwhile in Germany measures to contain the spread of Corona virus will include travel bans, limiting the size of public gatherings and the closure of bars, museums and theatres. Similar measures are being imposed elsewhere too
Given that these measures are to combat a disease that has a one percent mortality rate, this looks ominously like the imposition of a new, global totalitarianism.
This is already happening in the UK. On Friday night, March 20, 2020, the government ordered a nationwide shutdown of all pubs, clubs and restaurants. The thing is nobody can object to this clampdown because ostensibly, it is being done for our health and that of the community at large.
What should concern us however, is the fact that this clampdown is happening in so many countries at once. As if it was not national politics that were formulating these policies but international decree.
That being the case, who or what is giving the orders that our leaders seem so willing to obey?
