There’s a distinct rumble coming across the fruited plains growing louder by day.  If President Donald Trump put his ear to the ground, he’d hear the message: “SET US FREE!

People with families to support can’t afford to be on government-imposed lockdowns.  They have to be out there earning a living.  They don’t want untrusted government money.  They want their own.

The devil is doing cartwheels amidst the surrealistic Task Force pressers

With people holding the floor hinting that children may be able to go back to school by fall and that COVID-19 may be coming back for a re-run each year, and with an allegiance-to-Democrats media asking all the wrong questions, your televised Coronavirus Task Force has become a daily nightmare from which we’re all trying to wake up.

As things now stand, your 2020 Election slogan ‘Keep America Great’ might have to be transitioned to ‘Keep America Rational’.

The devil is doing cartwheels amidst the surrealistic Task Force pressers.  As the best indication for how far it’s all become, the pandemic panic we hear about every day, has shut down all churches—while abortion clinics remain open.

The two stars you portray as “experts”  have paid career-long loyal allegiance to vaccine-obsessed ‘bilkionnaire’ Bill Gates whose own allegiance is to China and One World Order.

Why would we believe in Scarf Lady Dr. Deborah Birx, who, in the middle of a pandemic, finds time to flout a new scarf each day, or Dr. Anthony Fauci,  who can see Brad Pitt playing him on Saturday Night Live?

Is this Gruesome Duo really looking for a virus cure or only self-aggrandizement and publicity?

Is this Gruesome Duo really looking for a virus cure or only self-aggrandizement and publicity?

And now Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit is telling the president: “We want names!”

‘President Trump Says “Two Very Smart People” Came into His Office and Urged Him to Lock Down Economy or 2.2 Million Americans Would Die’  (Gateway Pundit, April 10, 2020.)

“Whoever did this needs to be revealed.
These “two smart people” are responsible for pushing faulty propaganda on the president that resulted in millions and millions of ruined lives.

“During her show last night Laura Ingraham aired footage of President Trump admitting “two very smart people” came into his office and urged him to lock down the economy or 2.2 million Americans would die.

“Now we all know that this faulty model by “experts” was completely wrong and off by millions!

“The models continue to be revised on almost a daily basis.

All Americans Need Full Transparency On Data

“President Trump: The big projection being that 2.2 million people would die if we did nothing. That was another decision we made, close it up. That was a big decision that we made. Two very smart people walked into my office and said listen these are your alternatives. And that was a projection of 1.5 to 2.2 million people would die if we didn’t close it up. That’s a lot of people.

Millions of people have your back, President Trump.  You can prove to them that you still have theirs

Jim Hoft is right. Do what they and their supporters have been doing to you for the past four years, Mr. President: Throw them to the wolves!

As one of CFP’s pundits sent word on today:

The CDC estimates there have been 24,000-64,000 flu deaths this season … their accuracy is not impressive …
“This shutdown is a bizarre overreaction. They scared the hell out of Trump and he overreacted.”

Millions of people have your back, President Trump.  You can prove to them that you still have theirs.

Set us all free from this needless lockdown, releasing us to the God-gifted Free Will with which we were all born.

Do it not just for Americans but for all people locked down by governments the world over, and do it now!

As COVID-19 continues to keep the world in lock-down, there are signs that panic sparked by dire early predictions was hugely overblown, as were the draconian political actions that followed. Predicted death totals are plunging, not merely slipping, and somewhere in the discrepancies between then and now lies an important lesson for the entire world. Pray we learn it.

The worst-case scenario came from world-class university Imperial College London, who, in mid March, suggested a staggering 2.2 million deaths in the U.S. and 500,000 in Great Britain if neither society took any mitigation efforts at all.

On March 31, Global News ran a story suggesting the number of US deaths could range from 100,000 to 240,000, though this time those numbers considered Americans staying home and practicing social distancing.

On April 8, the key forecasting model used by the White House revised its prediction to a peak of 60,415 by early August.  So, the most recent prediction is less than 3% of the worst-case scenario from mid-March and 25% to 60% of the total in Global News’ one-week old report.

The COVID-19 predictions show a marked drop for a reason. Early models were assumption heavy and data poor, so the resulting predictions were little more than wild guesses. As time goes on and actual data is incorporated into the models, the predictions understandably shift towards a more realistic reality. The trend is consistent and, to not put too fine a point on it, massive.

There is a good chance that the COVID-19 model’s death predictions will continue to drop over the next few weeks as further data is factored into them, unless, and don’t count this out, deaths caused by other factors such as diabetes or cancer are incorrectly attributed to COVID-19. The use of correlated numbers to pad causal totals is fraudulently misleading.

Early COVID-19 models are the equivalent of running sports analytics on next season’s estimated statistics, and we’re being forced to bet heavily on them.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

In the political realm, self-fulling prophecies are associated with life-and-death situations and, when followed, eventually create the conditions that generate the very problems the prophecy warned against.

Climate Models have the media, schools, and governments waging all-out war on the primary source of our energy needs, efficient and affordable oil-and-gas, without consideration to the deadly effects that imposed solutions force upon the world. Solar plants and wind farms are inefficient energy producers whose power output is difficult to incorporate onto our current grid. Our increasing reliance on them could put the country into energy poverty, a deadly condition in freezing temperatures.

COVID-19 models have vaccinated the world with insane panic, leading to extreme life-style changes and extraordinary economic harm that has the potential to ruin millions of families for years.

The purpose of policy solutions in both cases is to prevent the unnecessary death of the rank and file and, of course, the planet. However, poor countries filled with poor people are less able to protect against environmental degradation because they lack the resources to do so. In addition, the social consequences associated with poverty are also well known and include increases in violent crime, family breakups, bankruptcies, and suicides.

The human species is as vulnerable to logical manipulation as it is to emotional exploitation, maybe more so because while we understand we make mistakes in “the heat of the moment”, we implicitly trust our logical conclusions due to their rationality. Setting intellect aside, the problem here is that our general conclusions are only as good as the data or information we use to make them.

By treating model predictions as factual truth, we logically conclude that fear and panic is warranted. In doing so we not only justify quick and drastic political action that will cause harm; we clamour for it.  Data challenged model predictions are a terrible source of critical information.

Profits Of Doom

Follow the money, they say, and there may be some truth to that maxim.

Fear doesn’t just wield political might, allowing politicians to quickly enact draconian policies bereft of data and debate, it delivers massive financial windfalls to those willing to exploit it, particularly when you are able to help stoke the fires of panic. It’s a voracious, vicious cycle.

After leaving Congress, Al Gore’s net worth apparently ballooned from a healthy $1.7 million to more than $300 million, and all we got was Carbon Taxes, job losses, and a fact free documentary.

Governments have cashed in by relentlessly promoting and exploiting the climate panic to institute policy that has not only destroyed jobs but bilked the people of earth of hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of their hard-earned wealth.

The effective shut down of society is proof enough of COVID-19’s political panic potential. The financial opportunity here rests in vaccines and, what do you know, one of the world’s richest people is pushing for mandatory global vaccines. No word of a lie. Listen to Microsoft founder Bill Gates for yourself.

Bill Gates on Population Control

Talk about making your market! Imagine the revenue potential where your client base is every individual on the entire planet, and all must comply.

Strangely, Mr. Bill sees vaccines as part of the solution to overpopulation. Seriously.  I’ll let you square that circle.

Stopping The Model Madness

Fear is a powerful motivator which imbues it with incredible exploitive potential but it does have a weakness. Its strength depletes as people become educated about it, which is why politicians and bad actors rush to exploit it.

Models are most certainly being used to generate fear and panic in the public, but are modellers to blame? Yes, if they have political or financial motivations or work to suppress knowledge of their model’s inadequacies. No, if they’re doing the best they can with limited data.

The same can’t be said about the media because they choose to share the news that scares, and they act in concert to sound the siren relentlessly. They refuse to soften the impact of their message by stressing model uncertainties and, more disturbingly, they are deliberately downplaying the proven effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine treatments. This is unconscionable and disrespectful behaviour.

We would do well to understand that model predictions are not truth and that the weaker the underlying data, the less accurate those predictions will be. This would diminish the media’s ability to use erroneous predictions as fear generators, undermining their exploitive potential.

We need more political leaders who are willing to place people’s welfare ahead of their own ambitions, a trait rarer than Sasquatch proof here in Canada. In addition, they need the fortitude to push back against improper model usage, which means the courage to demand accountability from a deliberately deceitful media industry.

Those are the people who will be capable of injecting a measure of calm and rationality into our emotionally charged, fast acting political process.

May we find them, and soon.
