Fake News regarding the Collapse of WTC Building Seven

The most grotesque lie pertains to the BBC and CNN announcement in the afternoon of September 11, that WTC Building Seven (The Solomon Building) had collapsed.

The BBC report went live at 5.00pm, 21 minutes before the actual occurrence of the collapse, indelibly pointing to foreknowledge of the collapse of WTC 7.

CNN anchor Aaron Brown announced that the building “has either collapsed or is collapsing” about an hour before the event.

See the images below: WTC Building Seven is still standing.

Bad news travels fast; the truth travels slow; very slow. Although the initial hysterical claims of a New Black Plague have not materialized, the Mainstream Media Presstitutes continue to vamp the narrative that catching C-19 is the equivalent of a death sentence. All evidence so far is to the contrary, but the MSM has never been one to let facts get in the way of a good story. 

 

Let’s just ignore the Death March for a minute, at least until the MSM distinguishes between died with, of, or because of C-19. Instead, let us focus on the recovery rate for this “never seen before” dread disease, this “New Black Plague” that was supposed to kill millions. This virus on steroids… with spikes! A casual perusal of the Worldometer will show something is seriously wrong with this picture.

 

The early theories by poorly-trained scientists and career bureaucrats predicted C-19 to spread rapidly in the Global South because of (a) lack of sanitation, (b) a population weakened by malnutrition, and (c) substandard to non-existent medical facilities. Au contraire, mon ami, C-19 has spread most rapidly and killed the most people in the most developed countries on Earth. 

 

China, pop. 1.4B. That’s “billion” with a “b.” China, the villain in this piece, China, with hundreds of millions of people still living in ancient, crowded, dirty cities and rural towns and villages with no running water. China, where “bushmeat” is a staple; even if you’re rich. Well, The Old Dragon has had less than 100K cases, of which 78K have recovered, and 116 are still active.

 

So, the Disease That Killed The World (coming soon to a theatre near you), in the place it was claimed to originated, with a population of 1.4B people, had an infection rate of 0.000007142857. And since everybody wants to go there, a Death Rate of 0.00035714285714285714. Percent. 

 

Why does the USA have so many cases compared to China? Assuming these figures to be accurate, 600,000 cases is .18 % of the population. In English, that’s one-fifth of one percent. That’s an astronomical figure compared to China, but minuscule compared to the Big Picture. Even though the infection rate is orders of magnitude larger than China’s, it doesn’t approach the rates for seasonal flu.

 

The Center For Disease Control says that in the USA from October 1, 2019 thru April 4, 2020, there have been between 39M and 56M “flu illnesses,” 18M to 26M “flu” medical visits, 410K to 740K “flu” hospitalizations, and BETWEEN 24K AND 62K “FLU” DEATHS (emphasis mine). These figure include the Dreaded C-19.

 

OBTW, even with C-19, the number of hospitalizations is not even close to the 2017-2018 flu season. The 2014/15 and the 2012/13 seasons also had more hospitalizations for “flu-like diseases” than this season. Man, do I love charts and graphs when they support my arguments!

 

If you examine the Worldometer chart, several other anomalies stick out like a, well, sore thumb. There is no discernible pattern of spread; the virus has appeared in places with no foreign contact, and there are at least three variants of the virus, so its true origins are unclear. There appears to be no rhyme or reason why the virus has spread like it did.

I wonder why the Talking Heads are not talking about this?

 

Here’s something from my new favorite website, Swiss Propaganda Research: “A Chinese study published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology in early March, which indicated the unreliability of the Covid19 virus tests (approx. 50% false-positive results in asymptomatic patients), has since been withdrawn. The lead author of the study, the dean of a medical school, did not want to give the reason for the withdrawal and spoke of a "sensitive matter", which could indicate political pressure, as an NPR journalist noted.

 

"Independent of this study, however, the unreliability of so-called PCR virus tests has long been known: In 2003, for example, a mass infection in a Canadian nursing home with SARS corona viruses was “found“, which later turned out to be common cold corona viruses (which can also be fatal for risk groups)."

 

If I were the editor of the New York Times, for example, I would have my investigative journalists cover the following stories: 

Why people are afraid of a disease with a 96% recovery rate?  Why Cambodia, with 2M+ Chinese visitors a year, has only had 122 cases of which 50% have recovered, and there have been no deaths. Most of the cases were French or Malaysian tourists.  Why the Global South is not just one big mass grave?  Why the infection, recovery, and death rates vary so wildly in countries with similar levels of development?  Whether or not the MSM is trying to deliberately spread fear and panic as a method to control the population before the population comes after The Elites with the torches and the pitchforks?  Why the population of the Western World is so complacent, apathetic, uneducated, naive, and easily entertained (This includes liberals, progressives, conservatives, reactionaries, socialists, fascists, Christians, Muslims, and Jews).  Why are Homo sapiens so, well, stupid.

 

This “crisis” may indeed prove one theory: all human beings are basically alike.
