Lockdown 2.0: Destruction of America?

By Neenah Payne

Note: This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment provided by a qualified healthcare provider.

Since mid-March, Americans have been following COVID-19 “health” policies recommended by the World Health Organization, Dr. Anthony Fauci (Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease at the National Institute of Health and a member of the White House Corona Task Force), Bill Gates, the Food and Drug Administration, and the American Medical Association.

We were told in March to lock down for 15 days to “flatten the curve”. Bill Gates (who is not a doctor and was not elected or appointed by any government) later said that the world cannot go fully back to normal until most people get his rushed RNA vaccine. The New York Post article Americans will wear masks for ‘several years’ due to coronavirus: expert predicted says: “Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top official handling the US COVID-19 response, said recently he was cautiously optimistic that there could be a vaccine for the virus by 2021.” So, the goal post kept becoming more elusive.

Now, nine months later, Lockdown 2.0 is being imposed in some states based on the number of “cases”. The Second Lockdown Is Here lists the 22 states again imposing lockdowns now. As this article shows, the fact that lockdowns are not only ineffective but also massively destructive of the economy, health, education, etc. has now been well documented by multiple doctors and scientists. The facts are undisputed. Lockdowns have a deadly impact. Yet, they are being re-implemented now for “cases” – not even fear of massive deaths now. Yet, it is also well documented that cases are based on wildly inaccurate tests! In addition, doctors say that COVID is now over!

So, what are the new draconian lockdowns really all about?

CDC: COVID-19 Poses Little Threat

FORMER WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL ON DEADLY COST OF LOCKDOWN, a November 12 report by Del Bigtree on The Highwire, says,

With Europe and parts of the US headed for more Lockdowns, Journalist and former White House official, Darren Beattie, has incredible insight into the impact of Covid lockdowns so far. Are we losing far more lives than we are saving? This story is too important to miss.

The show reports that the CDC statistics for COVID indicate that there is a 99% survival rate for people under age 70. People over age 70 also have a good chance of surviving COVID – especially when treated early with any of the three proven cures. So, while COVID poses no threat to Americans, the COVID “health” policies have already caused massive destruction.

America’s Frontline Doctors

Dr. Simone Gold: I DO NOT CONSENT! discusses the October 2020 book I Do Not Consent: My Fight Against Medical Cancel Culture by Dr. Simone Gold, an ER doctor and lawyer who founded America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS). The doctors held a press conference in front of the US Supreme Court on July 27 that was seen by 20 million people. Although it was shut down by Big Tech, it was the most viral video in history. AFLDS came to tell the nation that there is nothing to fear from COVID because hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a quick inexpensive cure that has saved thousands of COVID patients in America.

WHO: Sweden Is Correct Global Model

It would be an understatement to say that the World Health’s position on lockdowns has been all over the map – first strongly endorsing them, then condemning them, now saying they can never end because the lockdowns are not about COVID! The article below shows that Dr. Michael Ryan, Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program suddenly supported Sweden’s model in April!

WHO Official: Sweden’s Policy of Individual Responsibility “a Model” for the Rest of World is an April article which says:

Dr. Mike Ryan, the WHO’s top emergencies expert, said Sweden’s social distancing policies are often misunderstood by the public. The World Health Organization (WHO) this week praised Sweden as a potential “model” for battling the COVID-19 virus sweeping nations around the world.

Sweden, unlike most other nations, has avoided the hardline approach to the novel coronavirus pandemic that has resulted in mass economic shutdowns and vast unemployment. Bars, restaurants, libraries, public pools, and most schools remain open in the nation of 10 million, which has drawn fire from critics skeptical of the state’s “laissez-faire” approach….Ryan said the biggest difference between Sweden and most nations is that the Swedes are encouraging voluntary participation with its citizens while focusing government resources on at risk populations.

The article adds:

As my colleague Dan Sanchez pointed out last week, this approach once was part of the fiber of the American system. “ Measures based on individual responsibility used to be part of the American model, too, as codified in the Bill of Rights. Yet we have developed a culture of reflexively giving up that responsibility and those rights whenever we get scared: of terrorists, of economic hardship, of a virus.” Many seem to believe that voluntary actions are somehow less effective than government dictates, but this is simply not true. Human cooperation and voluntary action are essential ingredients to a vibrant, prosperous culture.

The article points out:

It’s a lesson we’ve simply forgotten. As the economic destruction from our latest collective panic grows, we are seeing the price of our impulse to use raw government force as a means to an end. In the US alone, 30 million people have filed for unemployment. Food production and distribution is being disrupted; slaughterhouses are closing and stocks are being euthanized. The costs, in the US and around the globe, will be severe….

Sweden’s results speak for themselves, which is no doubt why the WHO this week touted the Scandanavian country as “a model” for the rest of the world as humans seek to return to normalcy. “I think if we are to reach a new normal, Sweden represents a model if we wish to get back to a society in which we don’t have lockdowns,” Ryan told reporters….

Whatever the future holds, the world owes Sweden thanks. The Swedes have shown us a better way. They’ve reminded us that the proper role of the state is to inform individuals and work with them, to seek voluntary action and cooperation instead of resorting to blunt force and edicts. Perhaps most importantly, Sweden showed that viruses are medical problems, not political ones. When we start to see them as the latter, everyone loses.

WHO MD: Stop COVID Lockdowns

WHO Reverses Course, Now Advises Against Use of ‘Punishing’ Lockdowns is an October 12 article which says:

Even as the WHO calls on nations to refrain from imposing lockdowns, many governments continue to use this strategy. For months, an overwhelming majority of the planet’s population has been subject to cruel and unnerving lockdowns: businesses closed, travel restricted, and social gatherings kept to a minimum. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have sunk our economies, kept loved ones apart, derailed funerals, and made personal and economic liberty a casualty as much as our health. One report states it could cost us $82 trillion globally over the next five years – roughly the same as our yearly global GDP.

Many of these initial lockdowns were justified by policy recommendations by the World Health Organization. The WHO’s director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, writing in a strategy update in April, called on nations to continue lockdowns until the disease was under control. But now, more than six months since lockdowns became a favored political tool of global governments, the WHO is calling for their swift end.

The article adds:

Dr. David Nabarro, the WHO’s Special Envoy on COVID-19, told Spectator UK’s Andrew Neil last week that politicians have been wrong in using lockdowns as the “primary control method” to combat COVID-19. “Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” said Nabarro.

Dr. Michael Ryan, Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, offered a similar sentiment. “What we want to try to avoid – and sometimes it’s unavoidable and we accept that – but what we want to try and avoid is these massive lockdowns that are so punishing to communities, to society and to everything else,” said Dr. Ryan, speaking at a briefing in Geneva.

WHO COVID Special Envoy Opposes Lockdowns

Dr. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization’s Special Envoy on COVID-19 who reports directly to the WHO Director General, said in an October 60 Minutes video interview, “We really do have to learn how to co-exist with this virus in a way that doesn’t require constant closing down of economies.” He says the goal is to keep economic and social life going.

After supporting coronavirus lockdowns for months, the WHO just made the reversal of the year is an October 11 article which reports:

Dr. David Nabarro, a “special envoy” of the WHO’s director-general, said in an interview with the British magazine The Spectator that restrictions like lockdowns should really only be a last resort — if even that.

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” he said. “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”

In a commentary penned by Nabarro and available via the tweet above, he writes that: “Some commentators say ‘more restrictions needed now.’ Others say ‘let the virus run wild and build up herd immunity.’ A middle path is needed. Too many restrictions damage people’s livelihoods and provoke resentment. ‘Virus run wild’ will lead to lots of deaths as well as debilitating long-Covid among younger people.” One of the only things these coronavirus lockdowns are really good at, Nabarro told The Spectator, is “making poor people an awful lot poorer.” It may even be that we see a doubling of world poverty next year, he lamented.

Now they tell us.

WHO Director General Says Lockdowns Can Never End!

While Dr. Michael Ryan, Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program and Dr. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization’s Special Envoy on COVID-19 who reports directly to the WHO Director General strongly oppose lockdowns for their obvious disastrous impacts, WHO Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus said in August that the lockdowns can never end!

Tedros said that the response to COVID-19 is not really about a health crisis or a virus. It is about global warming! In the August 24 show Tucker: When do we get America back?, Tucker Carlson of Fox News reported that Tedros now says things will NEVER go back to normal! He says that finding a vaccine is no longer the goal. Now, the goal is to re-order society! The leader of the WHO now says, “We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were.” Tedros says, “The Covid-19 pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change.”

So, according to the WHO now, there can never be an end to the lockdown because we have to fight global warming – renamed “climate change” when it became clear that we are going into a mini-ice age now! In his September 3 article What Happened to Summer?, Dr. Mark Sircus explains why global warming / climate change is a hoax!

So, Tedros is now openly admitting that the lockdowns are not to protect the world from a “deadly pandemic”. Instead, the COVID “health” policies have all along been a setup for much more profound changes that the world would never have accepted otherwise — as discussed further below.

America was warned in 1983 about this kind of subtle takeover.

Three Steps To Destabilize America

COVID-19 Policies: Attack on America? shows that in Yuri Bezmenov – Deception Was My Job, G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve and World Without Cancer; The Story of Vitamin B17, conducted an interview in 1983 with Bezmenov who explained the three steps the Soviet Union used to destabilize nations. The similarity with what is being done to America by the COVID-19 “health” policies is obvious and should not be overlooked now.

Bezmenov discusses ideological subversion – also known as “psychological warfare”. He says the goal is,

To change the perception of reality of EVERY American to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

The COVID-19 paranoia fits that to a T! For example, most people in New York City wear masks although the city is not enforcing that policy; many doctors have shown that masks are not necessary or protective and are harmful in multiple serious ways. People nevertheless wear masks because they have been sold the false idea that COVID-19 is a deadly pandemic and masks protect themselves and others.

Bezmenov explains that destabilization involves “a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided in three basic stages”:

Demoralization: Bezmenov warned of the promotion of a false ideology not counter-balanced by recognition of our unalienable rights protected by the US Constitution.

Destabilization: Bezmenov cautioned against the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas such as sacrificing the rights of the individual for the common good.

Crisis: Bezmenov said:

The next stage of course is Crisis. It may take only 6 weeks to bring a country to the verge of Crisis….and after Crisis, with a violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have the period of so-called “normalization”. It may last indefinitely. “Normalization” is a cynical expression borrowed from Soviet propaganda.…”

Is that the “new normal” we have been told we must accept now?

Bezmenov concluded:

This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all the schmucks to bring the country to crisis…and to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free-market competition, and to put a Big Brother government in Washington, DC.
