One of the great grifter movies, aside from the Clinton and Obama presidencies, is The Sting. Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) and Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford} team up, “to pull off a complicated scheme known simple as the Big Con,” a racket to crush Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) and his empire.
We have had several iterations of the Big Con over the past four years, with Gondorff and Hooker played by a rotating cast (snip) The latest sequel features Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx as the grifters and swindlers, using the Chinese coronavirus as the Big Con to keep President Trump from winning a second term in the White House.

Excellent article. Beyond what he says about the insignificance of positive tests in many cases, there are numerous instances where a person who was not even tested was informed that they tested positive. My husband works with guys who got tired of waiting in line to get tested, so they left. Within a week, they were notified by mail that they tested positive. It is a huge con built on lies and deception.

Knew it all along. The democrat governors put the sick elderly back into the nursing facility to increase the numbers to make the virus look worse, knowing that these innocent people will die. Then they locked us down with unrealistic measures to destroy our economies, forcing us to wear stupid masks, encouraging rioting and turning their backs on the average hard working people, and now they want to steal our vote. This should show you that the democrat party will stop at nothing to win.

The Sting is an all too perfect analogy...
Birx began showing the light early on for many paying attention.
Sadly, California gov here living in Dem delusion.
Heaven help us, and thank you, CDC for acknowledging 94% were mis-reported... Still sad for the 6%.
Prayers for them and for righteousness to prevail.

I remember Dr. Birx, early-on, saying that even though Covid-19 is one of other causes of death for someone, the cause of death would be listed as Covid-19. The three "experts" were all part of The Con.
Lately, I have heard Rush say more than once that we have to "flood" the voting booths for the coming election. We are already being told more ways than one that the voting process will be another Big Con. Even if someone has not voted for years; they must vote in this election because we need more people who love this country to vote for President Trump to overcome all those who want this country annihilated.

COVID-19, like its cousin, the common cold, is an incurable virus. But like the common cold, it is treatable. They have managed to keep the treatment from the American public and many have died because of it--not to mention many people's livelihoods.

“A positive test means simply that there are viral particles in a person’s respiratory tract. They have been infected months ago and the sensitive PCR test detected dead viral fragments.“
Does this explain the people who have the virus but are asymptomatic? I’ve been wondering all along how the same virus could kill some people and not even give others a headache. The Spanish Flu certainly didn’t function that way.

What about the 180,000 =excess= deaths in the U.S.? All fake?

The Democrats perpetrated their first gigantic hoax with the whole Steele dossier/Russia Russia! attempted coup. The second gigantic hoax (not counting innumerable minor ones) was the COVID 19 "pandemic" that shut down Trump's steamrolling economy. And the third gigantic hoax is still in the wings: voter fraud on a massive scale never seen before.
They create these gigantic hoaxes one after another because they have never suffered any consequences for any of the treachery and deceit. The perps of the greatest travesty in American history, the attempted coup against a duly elected president, not only roam free, but also they rake in big bucks from books, from CNN positions, from after dinner speeches. At a crucial historical moment, Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr failed their country miserably, and set the stage for more treachery to follow.
I watched Adam Schiff on television lying about something (it's hard to keep track) and I thought: the Democrats are relentless, focused like Zen masters, in their endless attacks on the president. They never quit. They never slow down. Every day Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff pick up their weapons of deceit and wield them dawn to dusk.
Contrast that with that lump of inertia, Bill Barr. Or Lindsay Graham, who is always just about to do something really important. Or Mitch McConnell. Republican weaklings do nothing but encourage the corrupt Democrats to launch one hoax after another. That's why our economy took a crushing blow. And that's why we'll see voter fraud on a scale never before imagined. What do the Democrats have to fear? Bill Barr?

The damage the shutdown has had on the country has been disturbing to watch. We are all masked up but merrily go to the supermarket handling produce and other items with abandon, but one person who is unmasked gets the stink eye at best and a self-righteous lecture at worst. Our schools are spending massive amounts of money trying to make the schools germ free and the kids are being shortchanged when they are not in the classroom and are at home learning sitting in front of a computer. Virtual learning is not effective for most children and we will have large swaths of children who will get behind. Yet, the con is being perpetrated. So many parents are frightened and want unreasonable assurances that their child will be safe. The teachers who are maligned and criticized are under tremendous pressure to comply with all the rules imposed upon them. Can you imagine trying to keep a kindergartener masked properly? It is a nightmare. Teachers rely on reading the faces of their students and the student likewise rely on seeing the expression of their teachers. All this is lost because of masks. We are asking too much of our teachers and we are expecting too much of our children. Fear has taken over reason. Administrators make decisions with the fear of lawsuits hanging over their heads and the well being of their students is an after thought. We have so frightened everyone that even thinking about functioning normally seems like a gargantuan task. What will it take to remove all these regulations and get back to normal? Whatever it is, we need it now. Our children are suffering at the hands of partisan politicians making decisions based upon willful refusal to look at real data now being revealed. This lockdown will prove to be very harmful to the wellbeing of us all but especially to children. Shame on these people who use this virus as a political weapon. It is the lowest of the low of political strategies.

Yes, a very significant article. It does make one wonder however, what the host country, China, was doing with those who became ill with their Wuhan Flu? It's not at all uncommon in China to be "disappeared," and in this case, the family receives an Urn containing what they're told is their loved ones' ashes. Certainly the "mask" mandate was also coincidentally applied when the rise of Antifa thugs wearing their gangster face cloths, hiding their true intent of anonymity, along with the "Mask Shakedown" on America, wherein Chinese spies in the U.S. were buying up all the N95 masks and shipping them to China, whereby China would sell them back to the U.S. at much elevated prices. Causing a health crisis then sabotaging the medical equipment supply chain is something even the Japanese didn't do before Pearl Harbor.
I'd like to see all the e-mail and text messages from fraud Faci and blithering Birx to politicians and Bill Gates, etc.to determine what coordination was going on during this time. It looks way too convenient to me.

The biggest mystery of the year - - - - - -
How did a tough, brilliant man like President Trump allow a twerp like Fauci to make a chump out of him?
Corollary: Will President Trump un-chump himself and publicly condemn this hoax?

#15, I have asked myself that question several times and I keep coming back to the same conclusion. The fraud was perpetrated so successfully his only choice was to play along. There was enough reality in the speed of transmission of the virus to have backed up the threat had short term measures not been taken. Had Trump charged that windmill after the 3 to 4 week smoothing he would have lost the election.
Yes this was a con job but the con involved using a real weapon, something no more deadly than the flu but with a highly contagious nature. I still in my gut believe that this was a conspiracy between communist China and the communist fake democrat party. I have stopped being reluctant to believe in any limits on what they will do for power.

Of course it’s an effort by health bureaucrats to unseat Trump. It’s also about Big Pharma and it’s spider web of control over our politicians. Sadly, we the people have submitted to this fear porn like sheep. People without faith seem to be living in fear. We gave into the unconstitutional mask edicts that many of us know does more harm than good. Next up will be the vaccine. We still don’t have a vaccine for the common cold and certainly not one for HIV. The flu shot we take each years only covers 40% of the strains. This new RNA changing vaccine concept is scary. The tracking aspect violates our privacy & is scary. The control our elected officials have willingly exerted over us is scary. Christian patriots must be courageous and fight the loss of freedom and liberty in this great land of ours!

FTA - "The new CDC statistics show that only 6,640 deaths are due to COVID alone, rather than the commonly reported 164,280 deaths allegedly associated with COVID. In other words, only 4 percent of media sensationalized deaths were due solely to COVID and not other underlying medical conditions."
It remains no surprise that Fauci, Birx, and the msm put America through a societal and economic hell - all because they hate Trump. As of this day, no one in my family or in my circle has contracted covid19. We were a human guinea pig experiment and the chicoms were the experimenters. And Fauci and Gates expect to reap millions for their Con when their vaccine is released. I wonder when the chicoms intend to release covid 20 into the Wuhan wet market.
The "new statistics". Some people need to hang for this.

I'll tell you what's odd. After 10 months, we STILL don't know how or when Covid19 actually began! With allllll of the resources available throughout the WORLD, there's NO ONE on this whole planet curious enough to find out if it started in a Wuhan wet market or in a lab somewhere?
Don't allow yourself to be redirected to other issues like whether we should be masked or not masked, isolated or not. Somebody, somewhere KNOWS how this thing started and we should demand to know why we're not being told.

What is REALLY disgusting has been the media's role in perpetuating this hoax.... 24/ 7 "fear porn" for 7 months now....parading their "doctors and scientists" out every day to scare people....NEVER allowing other info/data/points of view that do not fit their agenda.
...and it is very disheartening to see HOW MANY Americans bought into this Scamdemic...especially conservatives who show know better.
...conservatives saw the media lie to protect zippy hussein obama...and evita klinton.... then lie about Russia...Ukraine...WHY would anyone believe the media on this scamdemic ??

I think the narrative is starting to shift again. This week, Crazy Cooper here in NC moved us to Phase 2.5(?!) which *slightly* loosened restrictions on some businesses. This came immediately after (but likely not because of) the CDC revised their tables and indicated that only 6% of the reported deaths were due to COVID alone - the other 94% had an average of 2.6 comorbidities. CNN tried to play this down by stating that COVID will be moving into the "top 10" biggest killers for 2020, ignoring the fact that there were *nine* other (often preventable) causes of death in the USA in 2019 and COVID is nowhere near the top three (heart disease, cancer, and accidents).
It's all about the assumption of risk - most people likely don't think twice before stuffing their faces with overprocessed food full of carbs and sugars, smoking, drinking alcohol, or simply getting into their car and driving (I know I don't :-). The at-risk population (of which I am one) should be under restrictions and those who have little to no risk of dying from COVID should be allowed to carry on with their lives sans face diaper virtue-signaling and hokey distancing guidelines.
Just my $0.02 worth...

Donald Trump acted with caution based on the information he had at the time. He closed down flights from China but relied on the medical "experts" because the virus was new and unknown. If you remember back to 2016, which everybody except Slow Joe does, the IRS, the intel agencies, the DOJ, the FBI, Dept of State and now the CDC were weaponized to remove him. It's a miracle that he's still standing and now it's our job to give him four more years to fight back. He is doing a better job than anybody else in Washington possibly could be. We already knew that the democrats are a bunch of currupt morons but we now realize that a big percentage of the republicans are as well.

I am also one, and I disagree with your suggestion. I am an adult. I've lived through other health crises in my life. I will not live in fear. Others may; their choice. This was indeed fear porn, another kitchen sink tossed Trump's way on the path to November.
Remember how there were bodies supposedly stacking in the streets of Tuscany? How the Euros fought over closing borders? The models predicting millions of deaths? And the demands the USA "do something"? The silly application of the Defense Production Act to build needless respirators? Fear porn, indeed. Americans once again failed the civics test. Government uber Alles!

OK. Now we're sure the reaction to the virus was a scam, but how did it get introduced to us? Strange that with what we know about the Deep State and China, Covid appeared just in time for an election year.

Forgive the second post, but I just sent this article to our mayor, the city council (who just voted to extend our mandatory mask mandate), and our director of public health, who has declared that our only options at this time are either masks or a lockdown. Send this to everyone and anyone. Get the word out. Please.

I have always believed that a lot of the people who tested positive had contracted the disease months earlier, got over it with little or no symptoms, and were now immune and not contagious. The fact that no distinction was made between those who were contagious and those who were not contagious was done on purpose scare people. The article goes on to document many more things that were done to distort the truth. This so called "science" was a pack of LIES! Following this "science" is what has nearly destroyed the country economically and created widespread misery for many of our citizens.
This is what happens when "science" is turned into a political weapon to not just to defeat, but to destroy a sitting President.

Au contraire #9, the minuscule death count from the virus alone is not a “nutty” conspiracy theory, it is a fact. One can accept that fact and still acknowledge that 180,000 plus deaths would not have occurred but for the virus.
I’ve noticed that the left trots out “conspiracy theory” whenever its agenda is threatened by the truth. Fox News is just as bad using the term just now to introduce a clip of Dr. Fauci who confirmed the low virus-only death number and, rightly, noted the validly of the much larger death number due to the virus.
As time goes on the American people will know that we have indeed been conned as to the seriousness of this virus. No conspiracy theory, just logical deduction and the uncovering of evidence.

California is in lockdown. Offices, schools and universities are empty. Church outdoors only. Populace in their homes trembling with fear and on the public dole. No Hydroxychloroquine to prevent or cure. This is what happens when communists mix science With politics. Science is now worthless, for the hoax was carried out by NIH and others (FDA, CDC, AMA, DNC, Teacher Unions, WHO, UN). Americans still believe in the Global Warming Hoax so all is possible for Cultural Marxism as the ends justifiy the means. Objective truth does not exist, only political narratives. Unrequested ballots are fraudulent and illegal aliens are real. Donaldjtrump.com

Fauci is so invested in his part, that he is now trying to destroy the honest report the CDC released about the true numbers of covid deaths. His agenda has always been based on fear mongering and panic, and he is losing his grip. In more ways than one.

To me the most distressing thing has been to see how readily and meekly my fellow citizens have been willing to give up their rights, their livelihoods, and their children's well being at the command of bureaucrats. Remember we all agreed to this in the first place just to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed. But that never happened and now that the pols have figured out just how easy it is to control people with fear, they have no intention of giving up that control. Why should they? Practically no one is pushing back hard on them.

It has always been a con. They (Trump's enemies) took a virus. There are millions. Have the media turn it into a monstrosity that will kill millions of people. Shut everything down. Sideline 56 million workers. Crash the economy. Force people to wear masks almost as an act of compliance. Create a worldwide panic.
Why did all this happen? It was an election year. The rest of the world should be madder than hell. CV19 was used to influence an American election, and it was felt worldwide.
The most telltale sign was how CV19 was handled differently. It was not the first dangerous virus. We get told how people at risk are more at risk. Of course they are! They are always more at risk. They have to take extra precautions. Or not. Its entirely up to them. Instead we shut everything down to protect those at risk. We never did that before.
The rest of the world is moving on from CV19, but we aren't. Why? Again, because its an election year! Trump's enemies are using CV19 against him. They do not care who they hurt in the process.

What took them so long ? There are people so intent on destroying a man who said he wanted to make American great again, that they will sacrifice the whole country. Anybody forget the US dollars that went to the lab in China ? A deadly virus was leaked and it traveled around the world. Had they stopped flights out of China, and travel to other countries stopped, this would not be so bad. Kind of like Cuomo let infected residents go to their second homes.
With the number of positive tests, people should be dropping like flies. I don't believe the numbers. I think people are getting the virus, but not that many.
