CONTENTS
For those who might not know, red-pilled is a metaphor taken from the 1999 film The Matrix. Taking the red pill means to awaken to reality; taking the blue pill means to continue living in illusion.
In 2020, I had been writing a book on 9/11, but switched focus due to a matter of greater urgencythe global response to COVID-19. (The acronyms meaning, officially, is CO stands for Corona, VI for virus, D for disease, and 19 for 2019. ) I wrote an extensive blog post, COVID-19 Red-Pilled. As the situation progressed, I kept updating the post, but it eventually became too long for online reading, and the need for a book was apparent.
.
I have been a journalist for 35 years (starting in 1985 as a writer for The New American) and a registered nurse for 45 years (retired in 2019). Neither of these backgrounds qualifies me as an expert on COVID-19; however, it does give me some perspective, both on the geopolitical forces controlling world events, as well as common-sense training and experience in infection control. By the way, Bill Gates is not a medical professional, yet that hasnt stopped him from advising the world on how to respond to COVID-19 in mainstream media.
On a personal level, I immediately knew that quarantining perfectly healthy people did not accord with decades of infection control practices. In infectious diseases, you isolate the sick, not the healthy. To quarantine the healthy as presumed sick is the medical equivalent of violating the law of jurisprudence that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
However, since COVID-19 is said to be different, and as those who challenge the government/mainstream media response to COVID-19 have been targeted for censorship, this book will quote scholars and experts whose credentials are beyond dispute.
I have broken the COVID-19 crisis into five major sections:
(1) The Lockdowns Human Impact (I wanted to address this first because it is the least hypothetical of the issues. )
(2) The Methodology of Panic
(3) Theories about the Nature of COVID-19
(4) The Deep States End-Game
(5) What May Lie Ahead
I am aware that the circumstances, statistics and global responses to COVID-19 will continue to change after this books publication, making some of what I report seem defunct later. Nevertheless, I believe a grounding in how this crisis came about will help us better understand and cope with it in the future.
Regarding end-notes: All hyperlinks are accurate as of publication. Unfortunately, due to the Internets transient nature, and especially due to censorship, some articles and videos, for which I have provided hyperlinks, will disappear in the future. (In such cases, it may be fruitful to use search engines in an attempt to locate alternate copies of the material. Many videos deleted by YouTube can now be found on https: //www. bitchute. com/ and https: //altcensored. com/. )

According to PolitiFacts website, it received $70,000 from the Gates Foundation in 2015 and $126,650 in 2016. In 2018, PolitiFact was acquired by the Poynter Institute, which received $382,997 from the Gates Foundation in 2015.
- THE LOCKDOWN
1 - THE ECONOMIC AND HEALTH IMPACT OF THE LOCKDOWN
(Again, these statistics, like many I cite, will continue to change after this books publication. )
meaning the bailout would cover rent for about 2 weeks. Of course, its not just mortgages and rent, its utilities, groceries, and other necessities.
Imagine how much the lockdown has amplified that. And as the quarantine forces distressed people to stay together constantly, domestic abuse cases have spiked. The New York Times already reported on April 6:
Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Adil, Consultant General, laparoscopic and colorectal surgeon for the United Kingdoms National Health Service, noted:
What impact has the NHS had as a result of this coronavirus?
The BBC reported in June:
With jobs demolished and the poverty that ensues, crime can also be expected to soar. In fact, there can be little doubt that the massive looting of stores following the George Floyd incident was, to a certain extent, attributable to the massive impoverishment as well as bottled-up emotions of people who had been locked inside too longwhat we call stir crazy.
The lockdowns justification was to protect our health. But if masses of people lose their health insurance and homesbecoming homelesswill the impact of that be less than COVID-19, a disease which lasts on average two weeks and that, for most people, resembles a mild to moderate case of the flu? (We will greatly amplify on this later. ) The threat of mass homelessness had become real by July 2020, when Reuters reported:
Sure, Uncle Sam can financially come to the rescue. But the U. S. government is officiallyover $25 trillion in debt. There is no treasure in the Treasury, no reserves to hand out. Anything the government gives the people it must take from the people either by (1) raising taxes (obviously now impossible) or (2) its favored method: borrowing money from the Federal Reserve, which increases the nations debt burden and, by expanding the money supply, devalues the dollar, making prices rise.
As the Mises Institutes editors wrote:
The shutdown of the American economy by government decree should end. The lasting and far-reaching harms caused by this authoritarian precedent far outweigh those caused by the COVID-19 virus. The American peopleindividuals, families, businessesmust decide for themselves how and when to reopen society and return to their daily lives.
Neither the Trump administration nor Congress has the legal authority to shut down American life absent at least baseline due process. As Judge Andrew Napolitano recently wrote, business closures, restrictions on assembly and movement, and quarantines are not constitutionally permissible under some magic emergency doctrine. At a minimum, the federal government must show potential imminent harm by specific infected individuals at some form of hearing or trial.
That brings us to the next human implication of the lockdown.
