A Discussion on COVID-19 and Propaganda

To begin, I am attempting to explain the possibilities of the origin of COVID-19 without disinformation or propaganda. I am trying to stay within the realm of common sense and logic to demonstrate only possibilities since we are dealing with unknowns, and you cannot use deductive logic unless you can be sure that the facts that you use are absolutely provable and true. For example, if I tell you that all lions are cats, I cannot say all cats are lions. Lions are a subset of cats, but some cats are not lions. You can only say, SOME cats are lions. Though this is a fact, there are exceptions and due to this it is SOMETIMES true. This is called inductive logic, the more suggestions that a statement is true the better the POSSIBILITY that the conclusion is true, there is never certainty.

With this in mind, we can begin to unravel the possibilities of the origin of COVID-19.

Fact 1: It is a “novel” coronavirus.

What does “novel” mean here? It is used as an adjective, not a noun. So we are not referring to a book. It is usually defined as something new, or unfamiliar. So what can this mean to the average person? That it is either something we have never encountered before, or it is something that we have, and it has been altered into something new. So using inductive logic we CAN say, without the bias of being a “conspiracy theory” that it COULD be something that existed before and then was bioengineered.

Fact 2: Overpopulation has been an issue for decades.

I don’t think I have to give you chapter and verse on the many times this issue has arisen over the last few decades. The whole “climate change” movement is claiming that human activities are upsetting the balance of the planet and will cause radical adjustments in temperature, weather patterns, and sea levels. They claim we have to make radical changes in our society like the elimination of fossil fuels, reduction of carbon, and the diets of humans to prevent widespread catastrophic changes. The problem with this is we have huge holes in the data needed to make a categorical conclusion, so they use inductive logic to “prove” their facts and demonize those that oppose them. How can you do that when you cannot conclude with certainty that your facts are ALWAYS true? They are arguing that all cats are lions. You can never PROVE a conclusion made with inductive logic, you can only strengthen your conclusions, so how could you with a clear conscience demonize those that disagree with you when it is clear that you COULD be wrong.

Fact 3: Billionaires have met and “concluded” that overpopulation is the most important danger facing the planet.

Funny that this story has been “erased” from the internet. If you know what you are doing, you can find it though. Even stranger is the fact that both Gates and Buffett, who attended this meeting, donated billions of dollars into “vaccine” production. This makes no sense, in that if your premise is that overpopulation is a danger to the planet, saving lives with “preventative” vaccines is probably the worst thing you can do for the planet.

Fact 4: An assistant to a Harvard professor was apprehended with 21 vials containing an unknown substance while traveling to China. The professor received funding from the Gates Foundation.

What was in the vials? When did this occur in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan? Where in China was the assistant traveling? Could the answers to these questions raise additional questions on the origin of COVID-19? Common sense alone tells us that it does as well as the immediate downplaying of any suggestion that COVID-19 was an engineered product. No one can be sure, as again we are using inductive logic, but the immediate assertion is that to say otherwise is a “conspiracy theory”. Let me put that in perspective, everyone “knew” the sun revolved around the earth. You can clearly see that it does by watching it travel overhead, but those that first proposed otherwise were persecuted, even though no one knew for sure. How can anyone discount a theory that is possible, without being able to categorically prove the theory wrong? Think of all the things that would have been “impossible” like permanent satellites (everything that goes up MUST come down) or computers (machines can’t think).

New questions have arisen in the last few days as well. Is there truth to the claim that in China, patients were put into body bags inside the hospital and then cremated alive? Why would this happen? Well, if they were discharged from the hospital (recovered/survived) and then died from another cause you can count them as both a survivor and a non-COVID death. What about a report that the impeachment began on the day that a suspected COVID carrier arrived in the US? Finally, would a totalitarian government use the cover of a pandemic to eliminate any dissent and/or protesters?

I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture now. It is clear that the possibility exists that we still have no clear and irrefutable evidence to prove that this was just a freak of nature. Why would some of the most educated and intelligent people around the world fall into the same ignorance that governed the world for thousands of years before the advent of the scientific method? We will never be sure, as again all we can do is use inductive logic to suggest a solution. So let me suggest one. Are you ready? Here it comes… I’m not going to tell you. The whole point of this was to get you to THINK FOR YOURSELF, not let other people tell you what to think. My opinion is mine, my purpose is for you to make yours, by yourself, using your own mind and experiences, just like the pioneers in science did hundreds of years ago, and you know what, they were pretty successful. We got airplanes, computers, the telephone, internet, and all sorts of things we now take for granted by learning what others had done, testing them to make sure they were correct, and building upon the work done before. What I WILL do is show you what the perils of letting others tell you what to think can bring.

For example, let us propose a hypothetical situation in which a leader comes to power and brings a nation out of one of the worst economies the world has ever seen. He builds up industry, gives people hope, fights his opposition, establishes his country’s influence over the world, and creates an army that is the envy of the world. His citizens thrive, they feel his love for them, and they pledge to do their best for the country. Now they may not agree with everything he says, and maybe he handles some situations differently than they would, but they KNOW he is doing everything he can for the benefit of his people. Then he blames all his country’s former problems on an ethnic group and orders then rounded up into camps. Millions perish in the aftermath, and the number one question you ask is, how could his people be so deceived about his intentions? In hindsight, all the signs were there. It was just spun in a way to make it look like he was looking out for his nation/people. How was this done? The answer of course is propaganda. Most people have heard this word, but may not know exactly what it is. It is a way of dispensing information in a way that tells the truth in a way that masks the truth. From the net, propaganda is: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. So what does that mean?

I gave a speech in high school (during the cold war) about the benefits of living in the Soviet Union. No I am not a Communist, it was to demonstrate the use of propaganda and during the whole speech, I never lied. I just used propaganda techniques. These include half-truths, bandwagon, glittering generalities, etc. Take a half-truth like: You can say anything you like in Moscow, even if it is critical of the government. The fact is you can, you just might end up in a gulag for it, but you CAN say it. Bandwagon techniques are like commercials, that show people drinking a particular beer and showing people having a great time, beautiful women all around them, with the mental impression that if you drink this beer, you can have fun like this, you know.. Everyone is doing it. Glittering generalities are used in politics and the legal profession all the time, saying something like to reduce crime you need to ban guns and citing a study that shows a city that increased restrictions on the number of gun stores and a lower crime rate. They didn’t ban guns, they made more restrictions, but they want to “prove” the position by using data from a study that shows results they can make you think applies to the narrative that works for them. Of course if you see a trend in lower crime, you could quickly pass a law to try to reinforce your narrative, in other words you use the event as a way of validating your narrative.

If COVID-19 is a novel virus, then how can we infer that it will act the same as other viruses? It is in the coronavirus family, but it still is unique, right? How can we make models that are first reliant on data from China when we know the totalitarian government there had the first person to raise the alarm to the world arrested? They claim that they keep changing the model based on data, that is good, but when the data may be completely skewed to begin with, the predictions you make with the model are skewed as well. What does all this mean? Ok, hypothetically let us pretend that the lethality of the virus is greater depending on the amount of a certain protein that is produced in the lungs, and Asians produce a greater amount of this protein than other races. The death rate would be higher in China, right? So a model produced on the assumption that the death rate is constant regardless of the race of the person infected would be hugely inaccurate. But, what could happen? The media could pick up the story and broadcast it 24/7 and cause mass hysteria based on this assumption. Matter of fact, they could hide the fact that in certain other countries the regions the outbreak occurred had higher proportions of Chinese immigrants too, right? Did this happen? I don’t know, but the whole point of this is to show you that no one knows. So anyone claiming to know what is going on and have it figured out is lying or trying to convince you of something that may not be true.

Look at what President Trump is saying, he tells us that we don’t know things, that this drug seems to be helpful, but we do not know for sure. He is telling you truth. Not HIS truth, but THE truth. (what the hell does that even mean, if YOUR truth isn’t THE truth, you are delusional) He states that he “hopes” this and that, not trying to persuade us of something that he is unsure of. The best thing we can do is stay inside as much as we can, wash our hands before touching our face or eating, or even anytime we touch a surface that is touched by others, think doorknobs, light switches, cell phones, remote controls, toilet handles, keyboards, etc. The president is not using propaganda, in my humble opinion, (so there it is at last) because he isn’t telling us something that cannot be proven. He isn’t blurring the line between fact and opinion and he certainly is not pushing/promoting/praying that we are in an apocalypse. The media is doing all that and more.

Think for yourself, do not let others think for you, or you will forever be controlled by them.
