INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is an interesting phenomenon going on in the United States of America and in many countries of the world. Headlines of various news agencies have captured it aptly but done a poor job at explaining the phenomenon\u2014in part because the sources where the truth is being told have been taken down by the mainstream media (MSM) giants. A July 3, 2020, New York Times Publication, updated on July 22, 2020, read, U.S. Coronavirus Cases Are Rising Sharply, but Deaths Are Still Down.[1]<\/span><\/span><\/a> Vox reported on July 6, 2020, that Covid-19 cases are rising, but deaths are falling. What\u2019s going on?[2]<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The following are quotes from both the New York Times and Vox respectively:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a minor late-spring lull, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States is once again on the rise\u2026And yet the virus appears to be killing fewer of the people it infects<\/u>. In April and May, Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, led to as many as 3,000 deaths per day and claimed the lives of roughly 7 to 8 percent of Americans known to have been infected. The number of daily deaths is now closer to 600, and the death rate is less than 5 percent.\u2014New York Times<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is something confounding about the US\u2019s new coronavirus spikes: Cases are rising, but the country is seeing its lowest death counts since the pandemic first exploded. The numbers are genuinely strange to the naked eye: On July 3, the US reported 56,567 new Covid-19 cases, a record high. On the same day, 589 new deaths were reported, continuing a long and gradual decline<\/u>. We haven\u2019t seen numbers that low since the end of March.\u2014Vox <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understandably, people want to understand why this pattern is so but the lamestream media has done nothing but stoke fear in people. However, before people start gobbling up everything the mainstream media also known as MSM is serving, let us first take a look at their track record when it comes to reporting on the coronavirus before giving a sounder explanation of the phenomenon.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>MAINSTREAM MEDIA SCORECARD<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The media amplified the voices of American immunologist and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Anthony Fauci and British Epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson. The decision to lock down countries was based on the models of these men. Ferguson\u2019s model produced by the Imperial College of London predicted one to two million coronavirus deaths in the U.S. and 500,000 in Britain prompting both nations to go into lockdowns in mid-March, throwing both nations into economic turmoil. The forecast by Ferguson and Fauci has been spectacularly incorrect so far. In Neil Ferguson\u2019s case, he resigned from his position on the British government\u2019s advisory panel on the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus pandemic after he was exposed by the UK Telegraph for violating social distancing rules by entertaining his married lover at his home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interestingly, forecasts by other scientists who the mainstream media tried to silence, and delegitimize as conspiracy theorists have rather proven true.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Case in point is Michael Levitt, a Nobel laureate (received the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing complex models of chemical systems) and Stanford biophysicist, who began analyzing the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide in January and correctly calculated how the virus would act in different countries. \u201cNumbers are still noisy, but there are clear signs of slowed growth,\u201d he said. \u00a0He correctly predicted that China would get through the worst of its coronavirus outbreak long before many health experts had predicted. He told the China Daily News that the virus\u2019 rate of growth had peaked. He predicted that the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China would end up around 80,000, with about 3,250 deaths. This forecast turned out to be remarkably accurate: As of March 16, China had counted a total of 80,298 cases and 3,245 deaths \u2014 in a nation of nearly 1.4 billion people where roughly 10 million die every year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He correctly predicted a similar outcome in the United States while many epidemiologists such as Ferguson warned of years, of massive social disruption and millions of deaths.[3]<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaac Ben-Israel is an Israeli military scientist, general and ex-politician. He currently serves as the chairman of the Israeli Space Agency and the National Council for Research and Development, under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Space of Israel. He too correctly predicted when new cases would peak using mathematical models and slammed economic closures. He too was attacked by leading doctors who dismissed his claims but they panned out to be true. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>BIG PHARMA AND THE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE COUP D’\u00c9TAT<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any realistic observer has seen how the mainstream media with the assistance of certain \u2018experts\u2019 have misled the public from day one. The media is leading the charge for a vaccine when multiple doctors have cured thousands using Hydroxychloroquine which has been demonized by the media as being unsafe. Now one would ask, why do those who have cured patients not publish their results in reputable medical journals? The answer is simple.\u00a0 The world is run by cabals and one of the major players is Big Pharma\u2014who sponsor the elections of politicians and own huge media enterprises through offshore companies and determine the fate of nations by manipulating the public conscience or the public mind. Even the journals are manipulated\u2014what gets published and what does not. The article that Anthony Fauci used to shut down the USA and ask for further draconian measures felt worldwide was published in the Lancet Journal. When real doctors fact-checked, it was found to be full of lies using fictitious datasets and thus Lancet had to withdraw it.[4]<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of the world\u2019s leading medical journals \u2013 the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine \u2013 published studies based on Surgisphere data. The studies were co-authored by the firm\u2019s chief executive, Sapan Desai. Late on Tuesday, after being approached by the Guardian, the Lancet released an \u201cexpression of concern\u201d about its published study. The New England Journal of Medicine has also issued a similar notice. An independent audit of the provenance and validity of the data has now been commissioned by the authors not affiliated with Surgisphere because of \u201cconcerns that have been raised about the reliability of the database\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the time it was withdrawn, serious decisions with dire consequences had been taken by the WHO, US National Institute of Health and others using this fake science research article.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lancet study, which supposedly involved 96,000 patients was one of the first to openly discredit HCQ, claiming it was ineffective & \u201cdoubled the risk of Covid-19 mortality.\u201d After researchers demanded to see the data & discovered it was possibly fraudulent, it was retracted. Before the Lancet study retraction, the World Health Organization and Dr. Fauci promoted it and used this fraudulent data as a basis to declare HCQ ineffective. This was widely covered by the media. \u00a0Its retraction, however, was not.\u2014Dr. Simone Gold<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The media has been very dishonest about its reportage about Hydroxychloroquine. Why is this so? The answer is Big Pharma needs the vaccines to be widely accepted so they can make hundreds of billions if not more, at the expense of the global population. This drug has cured multitudes and despite the cabal of Big Pharma, honest doctors have compiled many studies. At present, this link alone has \u00a067 studies (40 peer-reviewed).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below is a link to a reservoir of Hydroxychloroquine research studies, showing how highly effective HCQ is when given EARLY in diagnosis or as a prophylaxis. There is a crime being perpetrated on the people, at stake is huge sums of money and power. God help us.\u2014Twitter user @LukeMor19529310<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

See Footnote for the link to some of the studies.[5]<\/span><\/span><\/a> Below is a graph from the link.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors are now using it as a prophylactic with amazing reports in many countries. Prophylaxis is the prevention of disease. Chloroquine is being used to prevent COVID-19 infection and to control its possible spread.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There is abundant proof that Chloroquine works and there is no need for a vaccine but the media is having none of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this mountain of evidence in favour of the use of this age-old drug to treat COVID-19, why the push back against it? It is simple! Big Pharma and media manipulation! The former uses the latter to achieve its ends\u2014the manufacture of consent and the distortion of reality so certain people can have their pockets lined with money.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>THE TRUE FACE OF THE MEDIA<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not many people today understand the mainstream media and its current function in societies.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To explain the role of the media, let us consult the writings of a man who is a linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and respected by most academics and the media establishment itself in the person of Avram Noam Chomsky\u2014sometimes called “the father of modern linguistics”, He is a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He holds a joint appointment as Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Laureate Professor at the University of Arizona and is the author of more than 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe who controls the media controls the minds of the public.\u201d\u2015 Noam Chomsky<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know whether use of language is more or less \u201csloganistic\u201d when hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year to \u201ccontrol the public mind<\/u>\u201d or when people parrot rhetoric of organised religion, to select one of many examples. On referring to the spread of AIDS as an \u201cepidemic\u201d, the term \u201cepidemic\u201d is used to suggest that the problem is serious and should be a matter of grave concern\u201d\u2015 Noam Chomsky, Changing the Way We Think about AIDS, Noam Chomsky interviewed by Huw Christie, Continuum, September-October, 1996<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only that, but the general population doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s happening, and it doesn\u2019t even know that it doesn\u2019t know<\/u>. One result is a kind of alienation from institutions. People feel that nothing works for them. Sure it doesn\u2019t. They don\u2019t even know what\u2019s going on at that remote and secret level of decision making. That\u2019s a real success in the long term task of depriving formal democratic structures of any substance.\u201d\u2015 Noam Chomsky,<\/span> Excerpted from The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many, 1993<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cState propaganda, when supported by the educated classes and when no deviation is permitted from it, can have a big effect. It was a lesson learned by Hitler and many others, and it has been pursued to this day.\u201d\u2015 Noam Chomsky, Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the media were honest, they would say, Look, here are the interests we represent and this is the framework within which we look at things. This is our set of beliefs and commitments. That\u2019s what they would say, very much as their critics say. For example, I don\u2019t try to hide my commitments, and the Washington Post and New York Times shouldn\u2019t do it either. However, they must do it, because this mask of balance and objectivity is a crucial part of the propaganda function<\/u>. In fact, they actually go beyond that. They try to present themselves as adversarial to power, as subversive, digging away at powerful institutions and undermining them. The academic profession plays along with this game<\/u>.\u201d \u2015From Lecture titled \u201cMedia, Knowledge, and Objectivity,\u201d June 16, 1993<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCitizens of the democratic societies should undertake a course of intellectual self defense to protect themselves from manipulation and control<\/u>, and to lay the basis for meaningful democracy.\u201d\u2015From Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, the professor has explained how one must not trust the mainstream media to be the upholder of truth. They told everyone Donald Trump was trailing in the polls and had lost an election only for him to win sending those who trusted the mainstream media for their facts into a deep depression. It could not be trusted then and it cannot be trusted now. One must circumvent them and seek the truth themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So back to the theme under investigation. What does it mean when we observe that, Coronavirus Cases Are Rising, but Deaths Are Still Down. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>THE SITUATION IS NOT AS DIRE: ALTERNATE CAUSES OF HIGH POSITIVES<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The media dishonesty is that they state the rising cases but will not state that:<\/span><\/p>\n
