What if I told you …….. we know now in the first two decades of the 21st century that viruses, which had made the jump from animals to humans in the recent past, had mutated and targeted vulnerable human populations on earth. These unsympathetic viruses mounted their attack. No one would ever guess they were being directed from an outside source.
What if I told you….. Human populations were so entranced in their cell phones they didn’t realize they were walking into a future viral pandemic of unimaginable proportion. The world was not prepared for such a calamity.
What if I told you….. Literally a cloud of air pollution that had been gathering over Wuhan, China caused these viruses to deliver aerosolized virus particles into the lungs of unsuspecting individuals. This resulted in a severe form of lower- lobe lung pneumonia where the infected literally succumbed to internal drowning.
What if I told you….. These lung infections coordinated with simultaneous and seemingly unconnected light flashes detected on the surface of the planet Mars, which initially went unreported for fear of panicking the masses in the middle of another panic.
On October 30th. 1938 CBS broadcasting presented Orson Well’s radio drama, “War of the worlds”. Soon, an announcer was at the crash site describing a Martian emerging from a large metallic cylinder. “Good heavens,” he declared, “something’s wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now here’s another and another one and another one. They look like tentacles to me … I can see the thing’s body now. It’s large, large as a bear. It glistens like wet leather. But that face, it… it … ladies and gentlemen, it’s indescribable.”
Of course, it was make-believe, a radio drama. There were reports of people panicking to the extent that the Federal Communications Commission investigated the unorthodox program but found no law was broken. Networks did agree to be more cautious in their programming in the future.
In reality, Orson Welles’ radio epic really never panicked many. Retrospectively we find Orson Welles’ War Of The Worlds was actually a myth . The newspapers of the day needed readers. News reports said that over one million people ran from their houses. In fact, the supposed panic was so tiny as to be practically immeasurable on the night of the broadcast.
But it was surely a preview of fake news to come.
And yes, the masses of Americans today may believe they would not be so easily fooled either, but just like yesteryear, the news agencies say otherwise. And it is that fake panic and fear that has gained a hold in a population where people see other people acting like it’s real.
Already uncovered is a physician inside Elmhurst Hospital in New York City, the epicenter of the COVID-19 coronavirus Ameri-demic, foisting false images of dead bodies in refrigerated trucks, recording fake pleas for more ventilators, all emanating from a physician who is a trained “medical simulation specialist.” An infectious disease disaster drill went live. It’s 1938 all over again. (Orson Welles II?)
COVID-19 coronavirus is now being produced as a daily drama by television, newspaper and other online news sources. The entire locked-down American public has nothing else to do but turn on their television sets and get propagandized. Sponsors need viewers.
Americans dutifully follow orders issued by federal officials and state governors, and shame those who don’t. It is so cunning. Religion and paper currency wiped out in a week. I’ll just bet you most Americans have no idea what the definition of demagogue is. (Demagogue: a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power. Sound familiar?
Were Americans completely hoodwinked by the frightful but inaccurate mortality figures for COVID-19 in the US and drawn by fear to cooperate with a lockdown of the economy?
At the present time, a trio of dishonest and deceitful virologists who advise the President have taken over the world. Wear a (useless) mask. Stay six-feet away. Stay indoors, at home. Be a good American. But what if it’s all a misdirection, Orson Wells redux?
At another time of crisis, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said; “We have nothing to fear but fear itself. He was only partially right. We also have to fear the stupidity of a populace that acts like sheep.
