The Cruelest Hoax Of All: COVID-19

Mark Wauck at MeaningInHistory nominates COVID-19 as:

The Cruelest Hoax Of All

Which hoax? We live in an age of hoaxes, so there's a lot of competition for the honor of being the cruelest hoax of all. My vote still goes to the Covid hoax. I base that on the sheer unprecedented amount of damage done by this hoax: business failures, unemployment, lockdowns, depression and its attendant ills, education stoppages that hurt the poorest students most, mass fear bordering on--and not infrequently exceeding--hysteria, widespread paranoia and the breakdown of social solidarity. And last but not least--perversely mistaken withholding of effective treatments (the HCQ regime and Ivermectin) in favor of dangerous and often fatal "treatments", such as mechanical ventilation, leading to far too many unnecessary deaths. Most of this damage was inflicted in knowing violation of all scientific and medical norms regarding viruses in general and coronaviruses in particular. Now we're witnessing the rush to lift many of the absurd measures that were taken--simply because Trump has been ousted by our ruling oligarchy. Which leads to the very reasonable supposition that this was an essentially political hoax that took advantage of unscientific hysteria that was propagated with a purpose.

. . .

there has been an appalling lack of transparency throughout this whole hoax, which has facilitated its political weaponization.

Accomplishments of President Trump

 

This past weekend was filled with relentlessly discouraging headlines.  But Toni Williams at VictoryGirlsblog had an upbeat column about “The Greatest Accomplishment of Donald Trump.” She begins:

President Donald J. Trump will leave the White House early on the morning of January 20, 2021. He is not sticking around to watch the Cheater-in-Chief be inaugurated. Quite frankly, I am glad. If Trump attended the Inauguration, it would give a legitimacy to Joe Biden that was never afforded to Trump. As we say goodbye to his Presidency, it is right that we should look at his accomplishments and ask which one was the greatest?

. . .

Trump was unabashed in his love of this Country. “Make America Great Again”, “Keep America Great” and “America First” all have one thing in common: America. Every Trump rally, every truck rally, every boat rally and every motorcycle rally was filled with happy patriots waving the American flag. Admit it, it felt so good to be proud of your country in public again.

Those are just the morale accomplishments. The actual accomplishments listed by the White House are breathtaking. Read them here.

Other columnists have suggested that President Trump’s greatest accomplishment was pulling the masks off the corrupt Deep State and swamp-dwellers.  Anyway, the rest of Ms. Williams’s column is here.

Another blogger bans Facebook

Bookworm Room, a/k/a Andrea Widburg, is one of our favorite bloggers.  And she is dropping her Facebook page:

Aside from Facebook’s anti-American censorship practices — which, by censoring the truth about Biden and Hunter, almost certainly affected the election — I was appalled to learn that most of the planning for the violence that occurred on January 6 was planned in advance on Facebook. This information not only proves that Facebook is a home for anti-American political violence, it also proves that President Trump’s speech asking people to walk peacefully to Congress had nothing to do with what eventually happened.

Indeed, the FBI has conceded that the violence was planned well in advance of the President’s speech.

. . .

So let me be clear: President Trump’s speech did not incite violence. The violence was pre-planned and Facebook was part of the planning. I can no longer in good conscience allow this platform to serve as a forum for my blog. 

. . .

If you’re wondering why it matters that I leave it, rather than just keep it but don’t visit, it’s because I’m the product as are all of you. The more products Facebook has, the more revenue it can demand from advertisers. I want companies that come to Facebook looking for eyes for their advertisements to discover that the store is empty.

Read the rest here. Ms. Widburg continues to blog also at American Thinker.

Ignore the Inauguration

 

January 20:  Save the Date!!  Andrea Widburg at American Thinker passes along a good suggestion:

Indeed, when it comes to the inauguration in Washington, D.C., Roger L. Simon has a great idea, which is to boycott it into oblivion:

There is a much better way to protest the inauguration.

Don't show up!

When I say don't show up, I mean really don't show up.

Don't protest the inauguration in any way, not in Washington, not at your state house, nowhere. Ignore the whole thing.

Don't even watch the event on television or stream it on any of your devices.

Let Bret Baier blather away all by himself, with or without Martha McCallum. That means no Newsmax or OAN too.

And especially do not watch their "Virtual Inaugural Parade." Turn it into a ratings disaster.

I know you will be tempted, but don't do it. Not even a glimpse. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Sounds like a plan.
