If you're hoping the COVID-19 pandemic will go on forever, this post may disappoint you. And, I get it. We have gone frothing-at-the-mouth nuts over a slightly above-normal
virulence virus, with a unique and obvious age-distribution pattern that should have made containment easy and panic completely unnecessary. And, if you're living in the United States, like I am, you probably think my declaration that this pandemic is "over" to be somewhere between wishful thinking and incredibly premature, and I hear you, too, although forgive me if I'm not sure you're the one thinking clearly, given some of the things I've recently read. I promise to support my assertion with data, and the wisdom of people far more expert than me who are having a harder time being heard in the present climate of...bats#@t crazy.
Hvis du håber, at COVID-19-pandemien fortsætter for evigt, kan dette indlæg måske skuffe dig. Og jeg forstår det. Vi har skummet med fråde i munden over en lidt over normal
virulent virus med et unikt og tydeligt aldersfordelingsmønster, der burde have gjort indeslutning let og panik helt unødvendig. Og hvis du bor i USA, som jeg gør, tror du sandsynligvis min erklæring om, at denne pandemi er 'ovre' til at være et sted mellem ønsketænkning og utroligt for tidligt, og jeg hører dig også, men tilgiv mig, hvis jeg ikke sikker på om du tænker klart, i betragtning af nogle af de ting, jeg for nylig har læst. Jeg lover at støtte min påstande med data, og visdommen hos mennesker, der er langt mere ekspert end mig, som har det sværere ved at blive hørt i det nuværende klima af ... rablende vanvid [Eng slang: bats#@t crazy].
Har vi mistet vores kollektive sind? Ja.Du er muligvis ikke en af dem. Faktisk gætter jeg på, at de mennesker, der faktisk tager sig tid til at læse mine blogindlæg, er de få tilbage, der ikke er blevet overvældet af panikken, men kan vi være enige om, at de fleste er? Jeffrey A. Tucker fra American Institute for Economic Research udtrykte det bedst i sit fremragende essay den 10. juli med titlen,
When will the Madness End?: [Eng: Hvornår slutter galskaben?:]
'Jeg er en praktiserende psykiater, der er specialiseret i angstlidelser, paranoide vrangforestillinger og irrationel frygt. Jeg har behandlet dette hos personer som specialist. Det er svært nok at begrænse disse problemer i normale tider. Hvad der sker nu er en spredning af denne alvorlige medicinske tilstand til hele befolkningen. Det kan ske med alt, men her ser vi en primær frygt for sygdom blive til massepanik. Det virker næsten bevidst. Det er tragisk. Når dette starter, kan det tage år at reparere den psykologiske skade.'
Kommentar: We're inclined to believe Powell regarding the scale of the fraud she is suggesting took place; this election was probably rigged to the tune of millions of votes 'flipped' from Trump to Biden.
Powell's idea that the rigging was meant to be more straightforward fits with what we saw happen. Digital flipping of votes occurred 'mid-stream', on the night, as they came in... but that there were too many for Trump so the system became overwhelmed somehow ("the algorithm crashed"), forcing the 'pause', followed by manual dumps of fraudulent ballots for Biden over subsequent hours and days.
Having said that, we're also wary of QAnon-like claims about 'justice being served any day now'. It's been 4 years and Killary is still very much free. The 'Venezuela-Cuba-China-Commies-did-this-to-us' angle is also, of course, pure BS. We're scratching our heads as to why the Trump legal team would sully their case with such provably false claims. Powell DOES also keep name-dropping the CIA, so at least she occasionally hones in on the most likely perps...
What Powell appears to be doing, in general, is drumming up popular support for Trump's case - and thus 'pressure' that can be applied on US Supreme Court judges when they do finally hear and see the evidence Powell, Giuliani et al present of mass vote fraud.
People can question the wisdom of this, but don't forget that those judges will be coming under far greater pressure from the deep state to certify the election of Joe Biden, 'or else'...
As things stand, Trump's going to need a 'hail mary' from 'on high' to 'un-steal' this election.
UPDATE 23 Nov 2020
In the space of a few hours, from conducting press conferences side-by-side with Powell to retweeting her interviews, the other lawyers representing Trump's re-election campaign have suddenly distanced the president from her:
And Powell's response:
Trump's chances of re-elections likely just took another dive.
