Subject: “The Politics of Fear”: Reductio ad absurdum.
Grenoble, 15 October 2020
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
As the “Plandemic” unfolds, and
authoritarian solutions take root and spread across society, we are witnessing
a sort of paradigm shift to a society reminiscent of the 1930s in Germany and
Italy – a corporate state that is supported by popular feelings of
manufactured paranoia.
I spoke with a medical friend recently, who replied
to my quarries: “I understand what you are saying [about this political
moment], but I don’t share your feelings. You are narrowly focused on political
behavior, and what you see is true; but I have a
wider view and am prepared to live under these conditions without feeling
upset. They will eventually pass without affecting me. Unfortunately, this is
not the case for many people.”
Another medical person gave his opinion when asked
about the efficacy of wearing the mask: “It’s better than no mask.” And about
the health risks of the mask, he responded: “It is not good to block fresh air
to the mouth and lungs, but contracting the Covid virus is worse.”
By this logic, couldn’t we say, “Yes, covid-19 can
be fatal, but so can pneumonia and a number of other lung disease,
at approximately the same fatality rate.”
Who are the real experts and where is the uncensored
scientific discussion?
How has such control over information been possible?
Just a few modest questions for the high priests
from a concerned layman, as the public discussion continues
. . . .
Please see below selected items from social media
this week.
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

His frankness (in that private conversation)
is admirable, but his logic is unclear.
They shut down everything, in
response to the general panic (which Cuomo helped
whip up), in hopes
that the "anxiety level" will eventually go down? How does
it
calm people down to
shut their schools, tightly monitor their neighborhoods,
push universal
masking and demand that everybody "social-distance"?
Surely Cuomo's answer is that all those
measures will result in fewer "cases."
But as they ramp up testing, the rate of
"cases" will just rise even more; and—
as no
public figure, or media outlets, will admit—the masks
themselves, and
keeping everyone
indoors, and the anxiety that such preposterous measures
will increase,
will just make people more susceptible to illness of all kinds.
So what's really sick, and what we
really need to fight, is this worldwide COVID-19
policy of terror, and
the apocalyptic purpose driving it.

Subject: [MCM] Students sue NYU for their suspension over going maskless
at a small party (before the semester started)
NYU's
COVID-19 policy is insanely punitive. I know one student who's taking a gap
semester (doesn't want to study acting online), has a day job, never comes to
campus. He had seven friends over to his apartment, posted pix on Instagram,
and some undergraduate Stasi-wannabe snitched on him (which NYU encourages):
NYU has suspended him through next summer, then will
have him on academic probation the entire next year.
Some
colleagues think this is fine, believing, as they do, that asymptomatic cases
(or "cases") are infectious, all congregation dangerous (except for
BLM protests), and the illness often fatal, there being "no remedy,"
etc. It does not occur to them to question any aspect of the COVID
narrative---or, therefore, the wisdom of charging students the usual sky-high
tuition/fees for an online curriculum, and treating their legal gatherings as
punishable crimes.
Thus
the university is cutting its own throat. Why pay hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and sink into debt peonage for decades---for life, in this
catastrophic job market---for the sort of "remote learning" you can
get for pennies on those dollars from the University of Phoenix, and a social
life beset by spies? If and when NYU starts to tank, the first to get the axe
won't be the top administrators, but members of the same professoriate that
sees its students as so many vectors of disease, just as US nativists once saw
immigrants from Italy and Poland.
That's
what makes NYU's COVID policy INSANELY punitive.

NYU
students say they were unfairly suspended for going maskless at party

Marco
Santonocito, right, who says he was unfairly suspended for posing in photos
without masks, is seen in a court exhibit photo.
MORE
ON:
Three
NYU students — including a med-school hopeful — claim they were unfairly
suspended from school after photos showed them maskless at an off-campus party
before the semester started.
Student
athletes Elnaz “Elle” Pourasgari, Marc Santonocito and Ashley Storino all filed
suit against the university last month after the trio and eight other students
were suspended following an anonymous tip to the school that they appeared in
the photos not social distancing or wearing masks at a party.
But
the trio claims they were following state and city guidelines by holding the
gathering at one of their own off-campus apartments before the fall semester
had even begun and they were sticking to a tight-knit “bubble” of friends —
mostly limited to the track and field team members — as per the recommended
policy on Aug. 14 when the photos were taken.
“NYU
believes it has the right to control its students’ actions anywhere in the
universe during the students’ break,” plaintiff lawyer Karen Edler said during
Manhattan Supreme Court oral arguments held via video Thursday.
Edler
argued that the students received negative COVID-19 tests before the fall
school year began Sept. 2.
“They
don’t have any evidence … that the petitioners endangered anyone,” Edler said.
Ashley
Storino, background far right, who says she was unfairly suspended for posing
in photos without masks, is seen in a court exhibit photo.
“The
failure to have a mask on in a picture in your home doesn’t endanger anybody,”
Edler said. “None of these students were sick. None of these students became
sick.”
But
NYU lawyer Jessica Moller countered that the timing for when the students took
their coronavirus tests didn’t mitigate the risk of potentially spreading the
virus during the time the photos were taken adding that the parties they
attended could be “super-spreaders.”
“The
students’ failure to wear masks and failure to maintain social distancing put
the university community, the students themselves and the students they were
with … at risk for COVID-19,” Moller told the judge.
Moller
added that the students had received email warnings that the school would be
strictly enforcing its return-to-school policies and that one of the students
had even viewed and acknowledged watching a video on these policies the day the
photos were taken.

ALSO
But
Edler said the students believed that the policies would only apply when the
school year began, and they were following state guidelines leading up to that
anyway wearing masks and social distancing when they were in public.
The
11 track-and-field students were suspended for the fall semester,
will be placed on academic probation for the spring semester and have to write
a research and reflection paper, Edler told The Post.
Judge
Carol Edmead has lifted all of the sanctions temporarily until she decides on
the entire case.
“It’s
costing the parents quite a bit of money. Their lives can be ruined by
suspension,” Edler told The Post.
“The
suspensions will impede their ability to get internships because they will be a
whole semester behind,” Edler said. “Elle does want to go to medical school,
Ashley wants her MBA and Mark is a needs-based scholarship student and it could
be taken away and that would put him in a position where he couldn’t attend
school.”

Subject: “Event
201 was not suspicious in the least!???”
The Sun's
headline is as incoherent as it is dishonest. (Event 201 has not been
"falsely linked to conspiracy theories," but truly is
the subject of such "theories.")
This shot of
blather is an obvious (and futile) effort to explain away the
patent
suspiciousness of Event 201, which—like Moderna's patent application
the
previous March (noting the possibility of a "deliberate release" of
COVID-19),
and
Bill Gates' negotiation, with Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), of HR 6666, for a
$100-
billion federal
contact tracing program in June—suggests foreknowledge of the
COVID crisis. So does Dr. Fauci's prophecy, in 2017, that a
"surprise" outbreak
of a
respiratory virus would take place during Trump's term. (If he knew
it was
coming,
it wasn't a surprise to him.)
The good news
here is that Johns Hopkins, and, no doubt, the syndicate of
which
it's part, are worried enough about the growing mass suspicion of
their
doings to get the Baltimore Sun to vent this propaganda.

CDC that COVID-19 is no deadlier than the flu (but spins the data to ramp up
the terror)
From Dick
Atlee:
Here's an
interesting comment from the World Health Organization,
apparently intended to scare people into thinking the world is in for
endless pandemic, but actually implying something quite different:
WHO: 10% of
world’s people may have been infected with virus
Jamey Keaten
Associated Press
October 5, 2020
https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-archive-united-nations-54a3a5869c9ae4ee623497691e796083
Dr. Michael Ryan, speaking to a special session of the WHO’s 34-member
executive board focusing on COVID-19 ... told attendees from governments
who make
up the executive board and provide much of the WHO’s funding.
“Our current
best estimates tell us that about 10 percent of the global
population may have been infected by this virus.”
The estimate — which would amount to more than 760 million people based
on a
current world population of about 7.6 billion — far outstrips the number
of confirmed cases as tallied by both the WHO and Johns Hopkins University,
now more than 35 million worldwide. Experts have long said that the number
of confirmed cases greatly undershoots the true figure.
Ryan did not elaborate on the estimate. Dr. Margaret Harris, a WHO
spokeswoman, said it was based on an average of antibody studies conducted
around the world...
————————————————————————————————
If https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
is correct, the current total
number of deaths as of now is 1,092,251. That implies an infection fatality
rate of 0.14%. The CDC offers IFRs for various age ranges in a variety of
scenarios; 0.14% is roughly in that ballpark.
(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html)
And it's about the same as the seasonal flu's IFR.
Yes, it's different from the flu, and has some bizarre manifestations, and
the mainstream press will tell you about long-term disabling injuries,
without providing statistics on them—or on the long-term injuries from the
lockdowns, and the antibody tests are highly suspect. But unless we choose
to disbelieve BOTH the WHO and CDC (who often disagree on other things),
we have
to acknowledge that COVID-19 and the flu are essentially the same
in terms
of deaths.
And we have a cure for COVID-19 that would change that.
