I didn't watch the video... what does it cover? I read something a few minutes ago stating that the virus is a cover for bailing out those who need bailouts, because bailing out the stockmarket repeatedly does not equate to economic recovery they've found lol. Essentially we're seeing a debt jubilee by stealth.

Ah, a bit like the plane crashing into the twin towers that no one had ever considered despite the fact that such a scenario was shown on TV a few years before?

Yes, that's the first thought that sprung to mind.

(And despite the war game exercise that was going on at the same time in which the same scenario was being considered).

And let's not forget the exercise being carried out on 7/7 that examined the 'fictional' idea of explosives being placed on the London Underground.

Indeed. And the question marks over the Boston Bombing being allowed to happen... at the same time as "disaster" training was taking place in the immediate area. And who can forget the blatant lies spread that gave the green light for the invasion of Iraq... then Syria, and.............

I guess the kids'll find out once the documents have been declassified in about 75 years.

heh... that may well be the intent given the timing between suggestion and outbreak, but there are 7 or 9 (can't remember off the top of my head) "variations" of animal borne coronavirus that they've found, so it's likely that the naming is more by "accident" than anything else. The timing though, and the state of the economy, would lead me to think that it was released for economic purposes. Like yourself, happy for it to be a complete coincidence, but there is a track record there that's hard to ignore.

Some reasoning goes as follows: "they" have to announce their intentions before they can become manifest, literally, boldly, full of love praying to God level intention. As such, they do not hide what they do. Some people have devoted their entire lives following "them" in their various guises, and a recurring theme is public announcement. The music industry is rife with all sorts of symbolism and cults, as is the movie industry... all to extents that truly defy belief. Not so hard when there's no one to stop one as one holds all of the seats in all of the houses in all of the world... and so on and so forth.

Totally. Neither perspective negates the other as a possibility.

In this situation running the scenario with a completely different type of virus would have hardly raised any alarm bells if their agenda was to release a caronavirus soon after. IMO.

As Gareth pointed out elsewhere Bill Gates talked of a caronavirus threat 5yrs ago and pleaded that we spend more money and resources on fighting this possibility. It makes sense then if action was taken there would be more attention diverted to this, including running scenarios to model the possible effects. At fear of being called a fucking idiot maybe this is just a coincidence. That is plausible.

Which once again doesn't mean that every event is organised in advance. Proof could come out that the others you mentioned were planned but that still wouldn't mean this one is the same.

I just want to point out that I'm not against the idea that some governments and others in positions of wealth and power have manipulated and create events with nefarious intent. And this one could be the same. However I'd need pretty damning evidence to accept it.

Although I suspect I know the answer - did you ever play the online game Pandemic 2? It was released in 2008.

It's a silly flash game, where the goal is to infect the entire population of the Globe.

The reason I bring it up, is because there are certain 'game mechanics' that have real-world equivalences, such as how long someone can be a carrier before symptoms start showing - which seems to be a major difference between this evolution of Coronavirus and SARS.

When pandemics are hypothesized, often varients of Influenza or other highly mutable, transmittable (which includes Coronavirus) diseases are used.

Just a thought.

You could start by asking yourself just how believable the 'coincidences' that occurred during the four major events mentioned so far in this thread, are.

Mass global travel, concentrated population centres (cities), compromised diets and under resourced health systems all play their part in tipping the balance in favour of the microbes.

There may be another cause contributing to the statistics? Briefly, for years doctors have been checking the heart health of patients according to the latest instructions from the Health Dept. Many patients have dutifully been complying with the subsequent recommendations. Additionally there have been public education programmes. Accordingly the cardiac health of the country should presumably have improved over the years, along with average life expectancy.

Humans have a use by date of sorts, nobody is going to live forever and we still have to die of something. Since less people are expiring due to premature cardiac arrest, the rate of cancer deaths as a percentage is likely to rise.

That and all the carcinogens we ingest or inhale etc etc.

Nah, the 5G problem existed before coronavirus. This is where IS POSSIBLE bleeds into, IS FACT... and that is where some media dwell. A spiritual being, as well as many scientists, understand that a part of the human makeup in the susceptibility of the human body when it comes to energy/frequency/vibration. Surely you've witnessed the effects of calming music (could be thrash metal) on your state of being? Seen the resonance experiments using sand on plates? Read Emoto's observations? Maybe Einstein's and Bohr's thoughts around observation changing outcome?

The "anti-5G" crowd are also backed by an ever increasing body of evidence coming from academia that we really are messing with something that's concerning enough to raise ones head up to say something about it.

I think it's feasible, but unlikely to be used is such a way because the social change that accompanies a population knowing that such a thing exists and is in the hands of whoever writes the laws is kind of frightening.

Either way, I see 5G as yet another fucked up attempt at creating something for no particular reason other than floating the economy: All of this drama over something that simply brings us faster internet? Who would sanction such hysteria let alone take such health risks?

Stupidity is doing it just coz it'll propel industry to create more jobs on a dying planet. NOW that, is stupidity.

The "anti-5G" crowd are also backed by an ever increasing body of evidence coming from academia that we really are messing with something that's concerning enough to raise ones head up to say something about it.

I think it's feasible, but unlikely to be used is such a way because the social change that accompanies a population knowing that such a thing exists and is in the hands of whoever writes the laws is kind of frightening.

Either way, I see 5G as yet another fucked up attempt at creating something for no particular reason other than floating the economy: All of this drama over something that simply brings us faster internet? Who would sanction such hysteria let alone take such health risks?

Stupidity is doing it just coz it'll propel industry to create more jobs on a dying planet. NOW that, is stupidity.

Won't 5g enable the moneyfree utopia of a robot population to do all the work for no pay so we can all sit at home smoking weed and masturbating?
Sorta like We are doing now.

A few brain cells and many boxes of tissues.

Some cultures had that before technology existed. Technology is not required... exceptionally useful without question, but lots of it inherently pointless. And I'd be keen to see how internet speeds changed where the non-essential business traffic has stopped (contention etc...) and security has been removed because we have nothing to hide.

What's so special about 5G? What do we really need it for? Seriously, I'm yet to hear anything that we REALLY need it for... other than it's fast because we ram more energy into it to have it operate in a different frequency range. Seems like a total waste of hysteria and resource.

I think you'll find the theory is that they may be linked - not that the current pandemic is 'caused' by 5G.

Apparently 5G activates the virus

Sounds about as convincing as 'someone ate a bat'.

Ecuador must have a pretty wicked 5g network then.

5G is for tracking slaves and dissidents and to enable driverless cars/transport systems. Same as why we are going to plastic wheelie bins for trash instead of bags.

Minority report eh. So it's all a part of the plan that the plastic bin bags we put inside the plastic bins, full of rubbish that come out of plastic bins, is the rational for 5G? Sounds efficient enough to me. Doesn't exactly sell the need for driverless cars/transport systems, especially when the rubbish in this instance will be human beings. We have people who can drive and vehicles that can be driven. I get it, but it's kind of reinventing the wheel and will likely result in considerable job losses. Or will it be non-essential jobs for everyone ;)

I can understand that. The flip side being that he may be frustrated by budget constraint knowing that his only way to pay for the good shit, for which he already has resource, is to produce feckloads of shiney sparkly stuff for us to buy, so that he can then afford to unleash some good shit. We No buy. He no have investment. This comes under the heading of "When it is the fault of no One, it's just what the financial economy requires". Two faced pricks are a dime a dozen under such a category. Bet if ya let the fuckers off the leash they'd balk at the idea of producing mass individual transportation.

Yes! That was good. Could never happen though ...
