My take on this crazy year, 2020
Don't take my word for any of this, fact check everything. Use multiple sources, filter results to exclude 2020 to drown out a lot of the noise if need be.
I never ask anyone to share anything, but if you would not mind sharing this one, please do, and yes, it is original content.
There are violent revolutions and well-funded protests occurring parallel to a novel pandemic with unprecedented countermeasures around the world.
A man shot 20 some people and we reformed gun laws within 2 weeks, a month later an independent nonpolitically aligned media (MacLean’s) publishes an article that it is very likely the killer (who was dressed as a police officer, in a police car) was likely an RCMP agent, the evidence is actual video footage of said individual going to a Brinks chartered bank and withdrawing (not stealing) $490,000~ dollars in physical cash.
meanwhile, Facebook and Twitter are moderating the US President, or anyone against the Hong Kong movement, in parallel.
Hidden Camera footage gets released showing the Facebook ‘Community Moderation Team’ admitting to moderating anything that is against their viewpoint and being lenient to anything that is against their terms, but pro their viewpoint.
Real-time video, actual live video, is showing me things, the news is then reframing in front of my eyes, both sides of the news, as completely different things. Of course, each ‘side’ spins its own narrative, both deviate from the thing I watched with 2000 people happen in real-time.
The WHO / CDC / world health organizations have released conflicting information more times than I can count at this point. Not conflicting in the sense that naturally, science evolves, and new information comes to light, but even things we already knew made sense to be told don’t make sense to then be told make sense again (Looking at you Facemasks)
A vaccine is being purposed by Bill Gates inside of 12 months, Bill Gates is not a medical professional, and a vaccine has never been made that fast in the history of man, nor is it recommended a vaccine be made that fast for what I assumed were obvious reasons. (Just to clarify, I got a vaccine six months ago after a meat scare at a deli when I went home for Christmas, I am in no way shape or form ‘Anti-Vaxx’ but if I am brave enough to question this in a public forum, that is what you assume)
The world economy is crashing, joblessness all-time high, governments printing money in buckets for social assistance inflating the currency. This is not localized; this is a global occurrence. New studies are being released showing the income disparity of people has shifted quite suddenly since the beginning of Sars-CoV-2, and not in the way we were hoping it shifts.
It was 34 degrees outside today, 2 days ago was the first day of summer.
Australia gets hit by a state-sponsored cyber-attack (suspected China), PM gives a national address on getting hacked, never saw that before, the Australian intelligence community releases statement ‘They were going for the crown jewels’
Four months in the house, I still do not know anyone who has even contracted CVOID, asked over 1000 personally, personally asked them, have a *redacted*, over 20 years, *redacted* joke about it being a fake virus.
DR. Fauci admits, hands down admitted the government intentionally mislead the people about facemasks to assure availability for health care workers
Five pharmacies out here personally told me; our *redacted* population bought all the facemasks early February.
COVID 19, which statistically kills minorities in the black and Spanish population the most, is somehow not killing any of the people in the live streams I have been watching for over 3 weeks, not one person has contracted it in the community of 'CHAZ/COP'
COVID 19, which has a zero-immunity factor in our current society, should be expanding exponentially. In most of the world, it has shown linear growth. All statistical models were entirely off, all of them off in a direction that justified society locking down, the same politicians were telling you if you visited your grandma, they would die, but also telling you, if you were outside yelling (a great way to spread droplets) you were doing your civic duty.
1000 health care professionals signed a statement saying COVID 19 should not hinder civil protesting, two weeks previously, they said to stay home save lives.
No one is saying racism does not exist, no one is saying black lives don’t matter, people are being fired from jobs for saying all lives also matter, no one is disagreeing what happened to George Floyd was not murder, everyone agrees the people responsible in that incident should be prosecuted, multiple weeks of protests, during a pandemic.
During the lockdown, neighbors who were friends for years starting calling the police on each other, over COVID concerns, these same people a week later are posting #defundThePolice
There is an autonomous/occupied zone in Seattle, the mayor called it a summer of love, I have watched people get shot 3 nights in a row, live, on a platform I used to watch people play video games on.
New York Mayor sends infected COVID 19 patients to retirement homes, massive deaths in elderly, only 1 field hospital built ever saw a patient, the ship was never utilized, the president was blamed?
I am watching people post memes about being sorry for racism who have never been racist, I am watching guys I know from my old life who sold drugs to Sixteen-year-old girls, sometimes for sexual favors (they were 18), calling people racist on Facebook, and no one is saying anything about it.
This list is probably not even 50% completed, and tomorrow there will be entirely new things to add to the burning tire fire of 2020. No one individual can even keep up with all this without mentally exhausting themselves (did I mention it was 32 degrees outside).
That is not even the worst part,
the worst part is I see someone I have respected for years, and they are not even willing to acknowledge any of these things, and give generic answers like, 'don’t believe what you read on the Interwebs, as if I would ever, ever, ever, make my mind up without qualifying various sources unless of course, there is literal unedited footage of the said event.
Addendums:
- Contract tracers in the states, tasked with finding out who someone that has been confirmed with COVID has been around, are not allowed to ask if they attended protests, in fear they won't come in to get tested
- Both IOS and Android have implemented low-level access for new higher abstracted contact tracing apps, essentially turning every phone into an opt-in (for now ) BLE beacon
- Italy recently confirmed after testing sewage samples from December of 19 that COVID 19 was present in enough abundancy to pass a test on a diluted sample.
