Conclusions without consequence

 These are my conclusions about what is going on in the year 2020.

They are of no consequence, for many reasons. First of all, no one reads this blog. Second of all, even if someone did, it can be readily ascertained that I am an old, white male, cis-gendered and heterosexual, of western European descent, and a Christian. I am therefore pre-canceled, as falling in an intersection of categories (even though most of said categories are federally protected) that cannot credibly express an opinion.

On Friday, March 13, 2020 my world came to an end, and a new one came into being. I have already written of this.

At the time, I (and almost everyone in the USA) agreed with the necessity of a 15 day lockdown, to "flatten the curve," due to graphs like this one (from here):

But now, 15 days has turned into more than 7 months, and no end is in sight.

My first conclusion. This graph is inaccurate and misleading. The two curves depend on the R₀ value for contagion without and with "precautions" such as "social distancing." I'm willing to assume that the two curves are correct. But do note that the number of deaths is proportional to the area of the curve (not the height), and that the two areas are about equal. So, no matter what we had done, the same number of people would have died. The only thing at risk was a predicted collapse of our health care system if we took no action. People were going to die no matter what we did.

The problem is the horizontal line, whose vertical position shares the same y axis as the two curves. But, and this is a big "but," the health care capacity doesn't relate to the number of cases, but to the number of hospitalizations, which will be much much smaller. So the correct diagram should look like this:

I drew this on a whiteboard in my office building to explain this point to a colleague. I call it "the chart that couldn't" because a correct showing of the two curves and the health capacity could not have convinced anyone that we needed to choose the flatter curve.

The other thing going for the accuracy of the whiteboard sketch is that the numbers that give the heights of the two colored curves were wrong! They were too large by a factor of about 25, and came from a well-known error made by Dr. Ferguson of the Imperial College University.

Now, would you have agreed to a lockdown based on the second graph? I know that I would not have.

Conclusion: the economic collapse of the western world was completely unnecessary!

Add to that hospitals that virtually closed their doors to all but Covid-19 patients, resulting in furloughs for medical staff and thousands of people delaying treatment for other health problems. In the end, many more people have died because of the lockdown itself.

Who gains from the destruction of the western world, and of the USA in particular? Who? WHO? WHO, among other world powers.

It is the Fabian socialists and their genetic and philosophical descendants. Those who believe they, by right, should rule the world. Who should rule? Their answer, "the elite." And the big obstacle to their program is the USA with its constitutional republic, whose answer to the question, "Who should rule?" is very clearly,"the people." America has to go down.

Conclusion: the economic collapse of the USA (not to mention its retreat from the basic rights that ought to be unalienable) is necessary to usher in the new world order. So that elites can rule over all of us.

Second major topic. The SARS CoV-2 virus escaped (or was deliberately released) from a lab in Wuhan, China. At the time it began to infect humans it had already evolved to efficiently infect humans. The work of internationally known Alina Chan demonstrates this. Of her work, she says, "It is very difficult to do research when one hypothesis has been negatively cast as a conspiracy theory." Much has been vociferated about "science." As she points out, "The world of science is still a bit medieval in its power structure." So, her conclusions, however well documented, and however much evidence is marshaled, will likely be struck down by the emperors of science and the accepted way (acceptable to the elite).

Conclusion: the virus may very well have been deliberately engineered to take out the older people of the western world. Taking out the older people is a well-used technique of domination (e.x. Pol Pot in Cambodia). Less-developed countries (and even China) appear to have been largely spared. I do not believe that is accidental.

Not just the deaths, tragic enough in their own right, but the destruction of our economy, discrediting the free-market system, also benefits the global elite. Their immediate mission is to bring America down to the level of other countries so that there is little need for us to resist a single global government. What would we have to lose if American exceptionalism were no longer a thing?

Conclusion: we are being lied to and manipulated by greedy, power-hungry people, who want to rule. Who will not flinch at killing millions of people to reach their goal.

Those are my conclusions. For the record. So long as the Internet lasts. But really, of no consequence.
