COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Keeping America Skeered
George Parry 5/22

“Get ’em skeered and keep the skeer on ’em.”  — Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA, on the importance of using fear to control the enemy and achieve victory.

When President Trump announced that he was taking hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to protect himself against contracting COVID-19, the Democrats and their mainstream media propaganda machine reacted with disbelief, horror, panic, and outrage….Pelosi and Biden were hardly alone. The progressive commentariat have been apoplectic at the idea of Trump taking HCQ, which, according to them, is “dangerous,” “not approved,” and “has not been proven” effective for either the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.

What is going on here? Why are these people so upset? After condemning Trump as a traitor in the employ of the Russians, smearing him every hour of every day for the last three-plus years, praying to Gaia that he would fall into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s carefully laid perjury trap, impeaching him, and continuing to demand his removal from office and the imprisonment of his staff and supporters, I would have thought that they would be delighted at the idea of Trump poisoning himself with a dangerous, unproven drug. I mean, wouldn’t it solve all their problems if Trump did them the favor of going the way of that poor guy whose wife fed him chloroquine-based fish tank cleaner?

But instead of breaking out the champagne, confetti, and party hats, they are running around with their hair on fire as if some disaster has befallen them. Why?

Can it be that, by taking HCQ, President Trump is demonstrating in the most dramatic and effective way possible that the drug can be a “game changer” in the fight against COVID-19? Are the Democrats and media concerned that, by his example, Trump might raise doubts regarding their relentless drumbeat of warnings about the drug’s alleged danger?

……..There is, of course, no way to know the outcome of the Minnesota trials. But here’s a prediction that you can take to the bank. If the Minnesota trials confirm the efficacy of using HCQ for either the prevention or treatment of COVID-19, you will never learn about it from the mainstream media. It will be as if the trials never happened because the Democrats and their media appendage are fully invested in keeping America in a state of fear and hopelessness.

They have done an excellent job of scaring and stampeding the nation into submission. It is that fear that has made Americans willing to imprison themselves and meekly accept the wanton and needless destruction of their jobs, lives, and livelihoods. As long as they can be kept cowed and believing that their only salvation lies in locking down the economy, the destruction can continue unabated. The progressive narrative is that America’s only realistic and responsible public health option is to shelter in place even as joblessness mounts and the economy draws nearer to total collapse. Any ray of hope or notion that there is a safe, effective alternative to this utter economic destruction has been and will continue to be hidden, obfuscated, and distorted.

It is imperative that the public be kept scared and in submission for as long as possible so that the wrecked economy will still be an issue come November, when an orchestrated attempt will be made to blame President Trump for it.

In pursuing this strategy, the Democrats and the media are following to the letter the guidance of that great slave-trading Democrat of yesteryear and founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, to get Americans “skeered and keep the skeer on ’em” all the way to election day.


Britain's Hard Lesson About Blind Trust in Scientific Authorities:  “The code on which they based their predictions would not pass a cursory review by a Ph.D. committee in computational epidemiology. Ferguson and Imperial College’s refusal of all requests to examine taxpayer-funded code that supported one of the most significant peacetime decisions in British history is entirely contrary to the principles of open science”

COVID-19
Every state and local politician who imposed lockdowns pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic claimed their decisions were based on “the science.” In reality, they ignored the advice of leading epidemiologists, relying instead on statistical models produced by “experts” with histories of wildly inaccurate projections. Stanford professor:  the pandemic was “a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco” and that decisions of monumental significance were being made without truly dependable data concerning how many people had actually been infected:
Bio-statistician Prof. Wittkowski: “with all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity….when you flatten the curve, you also widen it…”

Neil Ferguson's Imperial model could be the most devastating (and costly) software mistake of all time

A forthcoming Australian scientific study concludes that the coronavirus causing the global pandemic contains unique properties suggesting it was manipulated in a Chinese laboratory and was not the result of a natural occurrence.

Still More Evidence That Lockdowns Were A Massive Waste Of Time, Money, And Lives: from a report out of JP Morgan Chase & Co. this week. It finds that there’s been no increase in cases or deaths as other nations and U.S. states start reopening. This flies directly in the face of all the public health expert predictions of a major spike once people started moving about.

What did he know?  Twenty Questions for Barack Obama

Greg Jarrett on Flynn:  A funny thing happened on the way to the gallows. It was discovered that the condemned man was actually innocent. But the sentence would be carried out, reasoned the hanging judge, because the partisan mob must not be left disappointed. (It would also be a waste of good lumber.) A metaphorical story, yes. But the underlying facts bear a disturbing resemblance to the treatment of Gen. Michael Flynn.
It Is Very Strange That General Flynn Was Unmasked Almost 50 Times.  Flynn was starting to learn of Christopher Steele.  “If they had any reason to believe that Flynn was beginning to understand the implications of Steele’s work, he had to be silenced. The idea of him being in the administration must have been more than nerve-racking for several members of the F.B.I and intelligence community.”
