Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
Theodore Dalrymple
You could further refine and drill down to wider meaning and integration by substituting “political correctness” for things like mask correctness, lockdown correctness, Thanksgiving correctness, COVID correctness, cases correctness, testing correctness, election correctness, mail-in-ballot correctness, no-widespread-fraud correctness, threat-to-our-democracy correctness, constitutional-crisis correctness, president-elect correctness….” the list goes on.
Generally speaking, COVID has reached maximum narrative and bromide dispersion and at this point it’s rather clear to me that there is no persuasion or cajoling on any level whatsoever—at least of the kind where someone admits I exposed them to new information they were unaware of and changed their mind accordingly—that’s worth the effort. They have “The Science,” you see, invoked in the same manner religious zealots invoke “The Word.” There is only science. “The Science” is euphemism for “whatever it is that I believe, even by faith alone.”
On the other hand, I sense a global weariness that really amounts to “this is not living, so what’s the point?” Well, the point was never about life, death, safety, or peril. The point was enhanced power to the State and profits handed over gleefully to big corporations at the expense of personal integrity—not to mention the destruction of mom & pop small businesses in the millions around the world. And the great tragedy of the latter is its quelling and chilling effect on entrepreneurs who desire to remain small and connected with those they serve, eschewing corporate and grow-big models of business. They seek to be producer-minded, rather than sell-to-consumers minded. That’s a real distinction.
So what it comes down to is waiting for even the most stalwart of COVID cheerleaders to get tired of the fad while yearning for the days when they could sit around with their Karenfriends sipping wine, talking about how good their cats are, and how bad their husbands are. ….That sort of stereotypical thing.
…To absolutely no good or useful end because it’s very unlikely any lessons will be learned. Here’s just a few things that perhaps maybe suggest the sort of mass crowd madness and hysteria I was talking about as early as last March and April.
The COVID Cult
This video presentation by Tom Woods really gets to the overall on that score.

Cult is a decent way to describe it at this point and the typical telltales aboud, paramount being all the people going around proclaiming their own virtue with respect to the COVID Commandments, decrying and shaming all the sinners. But, when the camera is off, doors are closed, in the dark, or when they think no one is watching, they do pretty much as they please.
It’s show theater and it’s funny how the mask doubles as a chin-warmer half the time.
Loosely outlined, you have three basic types of people comprising a cult.
- The 80% or more low-95ish-IQ sheep, masses, “the people.” The True Believers.
- The 15% or so enablers and influencers. Higher IQ, clever enough to see a bargain. In exchange for admonishing and shaming the peon intellectually-challenged into submission and compliance as to the propaganda or commandments, they are awarded status within the hermetically-sealed echo-chamber cult. They are envied by the masses for the illusion of status and importance that has been bestowed upon them.
- The 5% or so elite manipulators who dole out the accolades. Their bargain is that they’re seen as Gods by the peons, owing to the solemn, “knowledgeable” enablers and influencers who’re in-turn seen by the peons as “smart enough to know; and besides, why would they have their high status if they weren’t right?”
It’s all a circular shell-game of mutual back-scratching, wink-nod, and peer-group behavior.
Link to the video. Yea, YouTube pulled this one down in the placating of leftists throwing their petulant, spoiled-child temper-tantrums.
DR MIKE YEADON, UNLOCKED – COVID-19 GOVERNMENT MISMANAGEMENT
Well, it was removed from YouTube for “Violating Terms of Service” after a huge number of views. Back up, for now.
If it turns out to be removed again, here’s a Facebook link and a Bitchute link.
Yeadon is a former VP at Pfizer, so perhaps this gains some credibility as coming from the belly of the beast.
It’s a fabulous video covering the whole swath of the thing but in particular, it really exposes the huge limitations in the PCR testing that is being done with abandon where the narrative has shifted from hospital admissions, ICU escalation, and death finality…to positive test results called “cases,” reaching the absurd spectacle where you have, on the same chart, “cases” going exponentially up while at the same time, deaths falling off steadily.
“Just wait two more weeks!!!” Remember that one from months ago and we’re still waiting?
Anthony Colpo has a new post exposing the severe limitations of what a positive case means: Why COVID-19 Testing is a Sham Producing Mostly False-Positives.
The greatest limitation in PCR testing for clinical diagnostic purposes is simple: it’s impossible to differentiate between an inactive fragment of a virus and a whole, active one. This is systemic (baked in the cake) because that’s its actual purpose: to detect the previously undetectable by magnifying even a piece of a virus (its RNA) to where it can be detected. So, for example, you could have an antibody or T-cell immune response to the virus that shreds it to pieces and then have PCR come along, magnify the pieces, and declare you positive. You’re not sick, but you’re a “case.”
This would be like going to the scene of a pile-up crash on the freeway and declaring every fragment strewn about to be a “car.”
The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated On An Unsuspecting Public
Ironically, Dr Roger Hodkinson even runs a company that distributes these so-called tests. It’s a short, albeit devastating commentary.
Anthony Colpo even did a post about this one too.
Hodkinson is a medical specialist in pathology, which includes virology, who trained at Cambridge University in England. A Royal College certified pathologist in Canada, he is ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association, former chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Examination Committee in Ottawa. He has also served as a pathologist with the Medical Examiner’s Office in Edmonton determining cause of death, and as Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta.
Hodkinson is in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, and has been recognized by the Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta as an expert in pathology.
Hodkinson is also Executive Chairman of Bio-ID Diagnostics, a company that produces COVID-19 tests – so he has little to gain personally from calling BS on the coronavirus scaremongering.
Hodkinson pointed out that, thanks to his role as CEO of a biotech company that manufactures COVID tests, “I might know a little bit about all this.”

The True Costs
There’s almost no widespread accounting that ever goes on in anything when it becomes politicized. I’ve already touched on the devastation to small business, the soul of the economy at large. Still, the fallacious even-if-it-saves-just-one-life “logic” always prevails because it’s emotionally manipulative. Just like nobody wants to be called a racist, nobody wants to be called a granny-killer.
But in fact, humans always have and always will assign a cost-accounting to human life. War is the most stark example of that, right or wrong, just or unjust as the war may be—the point is people often think death and killing is “worth it,” whatever ‘it’ may be. So are a host of other things from pharmaceuticals with potential side-effects that include death, to all manner of goods and services that come with a small chance of an adverse outcome, including death.
We get in cars and on motorcycles everyday—even loading our children and grannies into and on them—accepting the implicit risk of death, but we trade the small risk away for the perceived greater benefits they afford us in the widescope accounting.
But politicize it…make of it a bludgeon for virtue-signalling, holier-than-thou, power-and-status grabbing types to use in the enhancement of their faux self-esteem…and all bets are off.
And for a third time in this post, here’s just such a widescope account of the costs of the politicization of COVID-19 by Anthony Colpo, featuring his home country specifically: Australia: Leading the World in COVID-19 Bullshit. And that’s not all. Clearly, the adverse and awful costs are very important to him, as they ought to be to the rest of us: COVID-19: How Social Distancing and Lockdowns are Destroying Lives.
Both taken together, it’s the best and most comprehensive assemblage on the stuff that ought to be of the utmost importance, but barely registers a blip—much like when a war is perceived, touted, defended, cheered, and flag-waived as righteous. And perhaps sometimes it is, but that should ultimately be accounted for and people should have some sense of the true, overall costs of what it is they cheer.
Keep in mind that we’re talking about something with a 99%+ survivability where the vast majority of deaths are amongst those aged 75 years and older; that of those, the vast majority have multiple serious comorbidities and in terms of those without known comorbidities actually dying, you have to get into the 30-39 age bracket to find any, and it’s still a very small number.
Now, with that in mind, assess all the costs honestly. Maybe: drop the political implications of any which way your conscience might sway?
Where’s The All-Cause Mortality?
For those who still read me from back in the Paleo Diet and Whole Food days, perhaps you recall that one element of the antagonism was that the fatphobes and the meatphobes always tended to have their favorite cause of death—usually cardiovascular in nature…clogged arteries and heart-attacks.
But many of us always recognized and correctly pointed out: what about all-cause mortality? What good does it do, for instance, to shuffle people from heart disease to cancer if the overall number of deaths doesn’t change much? It’s a Cause-of-Death Olympics, never a widescope accounting of a different sort: how many total people died, of whatever? Because, you can fake or fudge on cause of death and often enough, it’s a legitimate judgment call where pathology and experience come into play. You typically can’t outright fake a death.
And so it comes to pass that the prestigious Johns Hopkins published a piece in their newsletter, A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19. As you’ll note, the article has been supplanted by an explanation for why it was retracted—but also providing a link to the original in PDF. Here’s an archive to the original in HTML.

We can’t actually know what the total death for 2020 is for any country or globally until all the reporting is in sometime after the first of 2021. Ultimately, we can wait. People, depending on their politics generally, are going to quibble, because this is the most politicized disease in all of history. It’s as though the politicization of fat and meat phobias over the decades since the 1970s into stupid public policies that ultimately made people fat, diabetic, ugly, and unhealthy…got all condensed into a single year, this time.
Here’s what we can know, which is what the data does NOT say: that even if there is some “excess death” this year—deaths substantially above numbers seen for the same time period during previous years—the numbers aren’t in your face or we’d sense and know that, and we wouldn’t be waste time debating it, but rather, protecting ourselves and loved ones. In other words: more or less COVID, more or less death. It is often the case, if you pause to think about it, that the pure existence of debates over things can signal that there’s not much to debate about and it’s a smoke screen towards achieving other ends.
This is similar to what I pointed out about this mask study just published: Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers. Two things:
- It took them months to find someone to publish it
- It does not find that masks work, or that they don’t work
In other words, nobody is happy, so there’s a debate. But, you must keep in mind that all studies have limitations, per se. There’s no omniscience. And it’s my position that the best way to look at any study is not what you think or hope it tells you, but what it does NOT tell you. And what we can definitively say about this study—after all the arguments and “fact-checks” have been tendered—is that it does not result in any “oh, of course, masks are essentially effective and valuable.” So on the one hand, you have mask haters saying “it proves masks don’t work,” and on the other, mask lovers saying “it proves there’s some benefit to masks.” What it really says is: more or fewer masks, more or less COVID.
There is one place that masks and their related measures of social distancing were very effective: the 2020 election. This is what I saw coming in March when I called COVID-19 “Impeachment 3.0.” It enabled the plausible justification for mailing out millions of ballots—ballots that could then be counted, disposed of, “corrected,” duplicated, or copied in “plain sight”—but which is far enough away as to prevent close inspection.
Where is The Seasonal Flu that kills 200,000 to 600,000 Globally Every Year?
So this is most likely—the Occam’s Razor—an aspect of the shuffling of cause of death around but not ending up with huge amounts of “excess death.”
At large, it’s gobsmacking to me that the WHO is so incompetent in their number manipulating. You’d think they would at least put “estimated” numbers in their database, “technical-problem” it, or somehow cover their tracks so that it’s not so blatantly obvious.
It’s a bit tricky to find if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for and also, the exact reporting tool (it’s Number 7…perfect) had me head-scratching for a long time. Nonetheless:
Easy to use. Pick any country, any year, and any week-to-week range. Display report.
So what’s the big deal? Here’s 2,000 words.


Ok, but you object, saying, “well, it typically tapers off in April anyway and is very low, should just now be rising again, so maybe it wasn’t that important given the pandemic so for its rise that should be happening now, it could be a data-entry lag.”
I ACCEPT YOUR CRITICISM!!!
So, explain Australia to me in 2,000 words or less. Since it’s Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed.


Gotcha! Plus, notice that the scale for 2019 (y-axis) is 1/10th the scale for 2020. Now, I didn’t check every single country on earth, but the dozen or so I did check, almost the exact same picture, give or take a week or so of when the data stopped dead.
Could it be that accurately reporting on extrapolated flu incidence given the actual testing data for the 8 distinguished flu strains would severely muddy the waters in terms of calling every plausible death but obvious suicide, COVID? Or, how about the hugely greater flu incidence in Australia the first few months of 2020 compared to 2019? Explain that one.
The only real questions to answer are whether testing for flu just stopped globally (and on whose command?), was not reported by the respective countries (quite a coordinated thing, wouldn’t you say?), or the WHO decided to not enter the data and make it available (why on earth not?).
Well, it’s about as mysterious as all the questions this raises: 5 More Ways Joe Biden Magically Outperformed Election Norms.
- 80 Million Votes
- Winning Despite Losing Most Bellwether Counties
- Biden Trailed Clinton Except in a Select Few Cities
- Biden Won Despite Democrat Losses Everywhere Else
- Biden Overcame Trump’s Commanding Primary Vote
….Which constitutes a brief preview of my very next post, so stay tuned in.
You should check out Ivor Cummins videos if you haven’t done so. He’s an Irish bio-chemical engineer and has a channel on YouTube.
https://youtube.com/channel/UCPn4FsiQP15nudug9FDhluA
Very clear exposition.
I’ve seen about every one of them and follow his Tweets as well.
Ivor is a COVID smashing tour de force. Well worth the time for anyone with a functioning intellect. I personally have a serious crush on him…and that accent!!! Makes me moist. ;)
Re Australia stats, the Y axis scale is different for the 2 charts. The scale has to be bigger for the full year stats, to be able to show the greater numbers in the winter season. The scale is smaller in the 2020 stats, and shows total cases below 120 specimens- which dovetails with the tiny numbers in weeks 40 onwards of 2019.
Hey sweetheart, those are direct screen clips from what the WHO outputs via the query tool. Perhaps see if you can find who (no pun) developed it and lodge a complaint.
Oh, and while you’re at it, pretty please ask why they are not reporting any data since last April?
Hey Peggy, my apologies. I misread your comment initially and thought you were dismissing the issue because of the two different scales.
I went and looked and see that actually, you were emphasizing the problem.
I withdraw my snarky reply.
I don’t see the problem? If I read the Ox charts correctly, then week 3 and 11 of 2020 are about 110, whereas week 3 and 11 of 2019 are maybe 150? That seems roughly the same?
And then in week 29 of 2020 there’s a small blip, so they did record something. I read somewhere that flu cases in LatAm are dead flat despite increased testing. (Yeah yeah anecdotal but if Trump can do it so can I)
Could Occam’s razor not simply mean that the flu responds more to lockdows than COVID?
Nope, not even close.
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Just wanted to throw that your way, Rich. This post is quite prescient. Anything can still happen, of course, but the trend and momentum seems to have shifted Trump’s way.
As far as I am concerned, Anthony Colpo and Richard are heroes among the bloggers. They have good true colors. I respect people who stand up to this New World Order takeover.
I agree – what kind of a MAN wears a mask??????
I have zero respect for Guyenet or Bass. Guyenet and Bass are spreading propaganda and nonsense. Colpo is a MUCH smarter intellect than the of both of them combined. . I would march with them hand in hand mask-LESS in the streets in protest over this global take over called “COVID-19”. I genuinely hope as many people as possible visit their blogs and read articles like these. We need to disseminate this good information to as many people as possible – all around the world. Anthony Colpo and Richard are good detectives. I am glad peopel liek them exist. Colpo’s work is ESSENTIAL reading during this scam. What is going on with this phony Trojan Horse of a MILD virus is some of the biggest evil we have ever faced. What the left did to Trump is beyond disgraceful.
There was a great video of a brave insider who exposed this sham on Twitter- she worked in a French hospital that was claimed to be “overwhelmed” with this farcical COVID-19 disease and she opened all the doors that had warnings on them and papers posted- guess what?
E-M-P-T-Y- hospital rooms- no patients in the bed whatsoever. Here is one from Madrid- EMPOTY- the COVID-19 WARDS are empty too not just the E.R.’s… Nurses and the entire staff are dancing their asses off with routines practiced for hours and excitingly choreographed movements.. all with smiles greater than what they would have if they got everything they wanted for the holidays… it is DISGUSTING! They are bored out of their minds from EMPTY hospitals. Another thing I was doing is Google searching phrases such as this “34 7new case” “684 new cases, “237 new cases- you will find “new cases with almost any obscure number you type in. COVID-19 is a HOAX and EVERYBODY needs to know this. There is some kind of sick, bizarre, twisted agenda behind masks. They are symbolic of this EVIL going on. Fauci, Gates, Birx are all psychopaths of the highest caliber and should be jailed for the rest of thier natural lives. There is a picture of Birx at Colpo’s site. She has the most “souless dead blank looking eyes ” I have ever seen. These peopel are extremely evil- this is all about control of the population.

I haven’t followed Guyenet recently but he’s always been an authoritian leftist politically, so that doesn’t surprise me. He has some good insights on nutrition here and there but that’s about it. He’d probably go along with the Great Reset. BTW, has anyone noticed how Klaus Schilder looks and talks just like a James Bond villain? They’re not even pretending any more.
I admire how this Las Vegas Raiders player ( defensive back Dallin Leavitt) from the NFL recently came out to tell his own COVID-19 FRAUD story from the deep state- a phony call- pure hijinx. The Health Department called him about (a phony) ” positive result” ( and the NFL would have informed him much sooner if that were the case) Mentioning that- he CAUGHT The Health Department in their LIE , called them out on the phone and they realized he knew it was a conjob- they got all flustered.
Here is his video. Dallin Leavitt is his name and he said in this video that this entire COVID-19 bull “is one thousand percent a POLITCAL STUNT.”.

Great work from Colpo in his recent articles ( calling out all the hypocrites) and nice take on the election for Richard. I put a big sign at an intersection that should be well read writing “AnthonyColpo.com COVID-19 is a political fraud-see the evidence.” I encourage others to do that, too. Traffic needs to be driven to his site now more than ever- the cholesterol thing is small fries compared to this globalist take over . Keep up the great work!
Being CONNED is a hard pill to swallow ( especially when the medical profession has gone rogue and is part of the con) – many bloggers have not woken up , others are actively involved in perpetuating this fraudulent virus MYTH. I saw this was a hoax early on- about one week into it or less. I know Richard, Colpo and many other readers here knew this was virus was FRAUD waaay early on.
It doe snot take a genius to figure out we have been PLAYED- BIG TIME.
More COVID-19 CIRCUS. More and more dancing nurse stooges-entire staff even doing”mock plays” and outfits. More empty hospitals in the Washington D.C. area and Mt Sanai and more. Break the narrative- film your own hospital. Twitter Film Your Hospital has inside workers from Belfast Hospital exposing the completely empty rooms and wards, corridors, ICU, emergency rooms etc. These nurses and hospital staff are bored out of their minds- there are no visitors -allowed so they can continue this FRAUD.
THIS guy is HERO for doing this and I am glad this site exposes it- more and more need to share this on social media. Lives have been ruined by “Lord Fauci” et al. They need to be put in prison for life! Let Tucker Carlson and others know-Laura Ingraham. Colpo is right- billionaire oligarchy is behind this- the globalist bastards! There is no way Bass or Guyenet can talk their way out of this direct video evidence that this is al a LIE-

Dancing CLOWNS from Mt. Sanai NYC “the epicenter”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ3C2AESRmQ
( “Call on- Mt Sanai Morningside” if link doe not work) I have never seen more obnoxious dancing with not a care in the world- they are rubbing their lies in our collective face !
Dr. Claus Kohnlein of Germany says face diapers’ lockdowns, improper use of PCR tests to claim viral infection etc,. ( fraud) – ALL of it is RIDICULOUS and that SARS-2-CoV has NOMORE killing power than ordinary influenza… Dr. John Ioannidis backs that up, too of Stanford.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LToSnpz8A4
The late great Dr. Kary Mullins has many YouTube videos talking about how PCR tests are not for determining viral infection .
This guy biked all through NYC to film the empty hospital parking lots and very few ambulance arrivals: I will try to find the video – it is on Twitter FilmYourHospital from December 5th.
This needs to go viral. The MSM recently claimed that Los Angeles County had “its worst day EVER with overflowing emergency rooms no beds etc.”
Well ,this citizen journalist went there to ALL the MOST major hospitals all around L.A. County and this security guard VERIFIES it is ALL LIES. MSM lies. Spread this around and downloaded it just in case it is taken down. The guard verified he had just two traumas the entire night- a lack of busyness. EMPTY here and in Europe , too, all around the world, Brazil, you name it,..,.
Keep the volume LOUD so you can hear the security guard:

Here is Nobel winner for inventing PCR technique) Kary Mullis on Fauci- in kary Mullis’ OWN words “Fauci does snot know anything about anything and I would tell him that to his face!.” Mullis also noted the Sheeple are not able to determine who is a good scientist- that is why Fauci has sway. Fauci is an administrative deep state hack. This is Kary Mullis on video from the horse’s mouth, so you know FactCheck is bullshit!
(Kary Mullis also offered to debate Fauci numerous times and that weasel declined)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aISPlTLbJo
Kary Mullis also spoke directly about PCR- it is NOT for determining if somebody is sick or infected with a virus. He states this in the ending part. FactCheck is pure garbage , just as Colpo correctly stated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc0Kysti6Kc
I really hope when the smoke clears the governors, Fauci, Gates, Birx, Newsom, NIPPLE RINGS CUOMOU ( Google that LOL!!!!!) hospital administrators, nurses, doctors, airline employees, ARE ALL put away in jail for a verrry long time. When I was in Miami breifkly in October I had the guys assigned to man the stations where you wash your feet tell me with a hushed siogn, ( finger over the mouth) the hush sign and said softly “, They are trying to usher in a reset and one world government, it;s scary.” He was honest. I got this out of him because I challenged him on the LOGIC of face diapers. He agreed when pressed.. it is all subjugation ritual… Face diapers do NOT work and even if technology was invented somehow in the future to keep out 70 nanometer viruses, OCCULAR entry is still there- the entire thing is FRAUD. Even using their provably FALSE phony logic that “masks work and that 7 feet is enough” don’t the Sheeple THINK about this follwoing scenarios? : On an airplane, you can sit three in a row, not allowed to move to any open seats, arm to arm touching for 4 hours yet you can take off a face diaper to eat right next to somebody but you have to deplane a ritualistic way? You have to wear face-diapers to enter a restaurant ( and that phony 2 feet wide shieldat the cash register is absurd and laughbale ) ! yet you can take it off right when you sit and eat, but have to put it on again to walk out??????The world has gone INSANE- LOGIC went out the window.
At least Anthony Colpo has LOGIC still compared to all of the Sheeple. I hope he writes another expose..More and more people need to see this site, Colpo’s site and that security guard video above.
P.S. Speaking of Fabio, maybe we can get the real Fabio to read a bedtime story to Fauci when he is in jail LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
