Another brilliant and thought provoking piece, el gato. I have felt for many, many months that most of this is unadulterated propaganda on a level that we have not seen for decades. Recently I sent an email to dozens of prominent activists, (formerly known as journalists) with 11 questions that to my knowledge had never been asked of the pseudo experts, TV docs and politicians. The result? I did not receive one response or acknowledgement of my email. Of course I tried this tactic because I got absolutely nowhere with the elected lords that govern over me here in the province of Ontario. I am sure you and many here could likely guess what some of these questions were - I asked about such silly things such as a proper cost/benefit of lockdowns, why were cost effective and efficacious prophylactics not pursued instead of emergency approved treatments (loaded and circular question I realize), why is debate not encouraged and displayed in a transparent fashion between the unelected and conflicted “Scientology Table” and other world renowned experts etc. The fact that this crazy never ending feedback loop of fear propaganda, stoked by power hungry politicians, praised by the Journos who benefited from the fear and ultimately aided and abetted by the likes of Gates, Soros et al is not as plain as the proboscis on my face speaks not only to our collective laziness but also to our dogmatic beliefs and overall apathy. The bottom line is we are not demanding more from our politicians and the media who are supposed to hold them to account. I will continue to fight the good fight but I must admit I am exhausted. So disappointed with many of my friends and family who are so disengaged and uninterested in the stripping of our rights and freedoms. I guess if we are not going to fight for these freedoms and our power hungry leaders know it, they will continue to pepper us with soft tyrany, you know for the good of the collective society

The official data from official sources was pretty much always accessible, and outside places where they sped up the curve by infecting all the at-risk at once, there was never much of a hospitalization crisis at all. Jay Inslee dismantled the field hospital at Century Link in early April 2020, and there's no way he does that if he thinks there's even a 1% possibility that it will be needed.

We're still locked down in Washington.
