The People Ultimately Responsible for Your Suffering Under the Tyranical Pandemic Response Are NOT named Fauci, and Skeptics Cannot Get Enough of Them
The world changed in the years 2019-2022. Just before that, Americans lived in a democratic republic where the rule of law protected citizens from crime and tyranny as best as law enforcement and the judiciary could. The United States Constitution was the standard by which representative governments were judged. This allowed one of the most robust economies in the world, and the combination of law and business provided an enviable level of well-being to a majority of the American people. Similarly, it was also boom time in other countries around the world. A respiratory virus, often fatal to the elderly and those with some pre-existing medical conditions but similar to a bad cold or flu to everyone else, spread from China, to the United States and every country. The world ground to a halt. You know what happened next because you lived through it. We aren’t going to debate the origin of the virus, any government’s involvement in creating it, the Chinese government’s role in releasing it, or the motivations of the World Health Organization in this discussion because what happened after that is what took the wrecking ball to countless lives.
Pandemic Response Satisfaction Survey
The following is a questionnaire; your answers to yourself should remind you of the events of that time and, importantly to this discussion, how they affected you. It was a while ago, but we have to remember that to prevent it in the future.
- Where were you when It went down? Did you take the Vax? For those of you that did, was your vaccination your choice, or was it to satisfy a new employment requirement? Perhaps you wanted to go places outside your home, and draconian defacto laws in your city or state mandated you had to prove you had the vaccine or a special work permit everywhere you went. Did you feel freer than your unvaccinated family members and friends? Did you keep your job, or did you get laid off? If you were furloughed, did you have a job to return to when the dust settled? Did you ever return to the office, or are you still pretending to work in your pajamas all day?
- Did you own a business? Was yours deemed “essential”, thereby allowing you and your employees to make a living, or “non-essential”, thus forcing you to rely on government welfare payments to survive? If you needed government business assistance, could you keep every employee, or did you have to let many of them go? Did the prolonged closing end in a “This business is permanently closed” notice on the doors of the endeavor you worked so hard to make?
- Did you like lockdown? Did you feel trapped? Did the second year feel as easy as the first “Two weeks to stop the spread”? How was it to miss birthdays, weddings, and funerals? Did you get fat? Did you relapse into mental illnesses or substance abuse and addiction? Did you or someone among your family or friends die from suicide?
- Did your children get depressed from lack of activity and missing their friends? Did they fall behind in school? Are they suffering long-term developmental deficiencies from missing vital interactions during crucial stages of their lives?
- Are you still feeling the effects of this in all areas of your life, or are you just trying to move on from that nightmare?
Now that you are back from that trip down Nightmare Alley, let’s place the blame where that responsibility belongs. There will be accountability here, even if there will never be in any court of law. I hear you screaming, “Death to Fauci! “ Bust Birx! “ F**k Frances Collins!” “Pelosi to prison!” Well, they are evil malfeasants, but what if I told you none are to blame for your pandemic response-induced woes? What if I told you that those responsible were your political heroes and that they pretended to be your freedom advocates, all the while scheming to wreck your life, the world around you, and the future of your kids if you have them, or the chances you’re able to have kids with the fertility limitations from the vaccine that many women have experienced? Well, I’m going to out these bastards right here and right now. You might not believe it, but you will understand it over time. Don’t hate the messenger.
Nightmare Alley
Let’s return to Nightmare Alley to discover how the culprits emerged and how their rise was your downfall. When the virus landed on US shores is hard to determine, but we can find when the government claims it was first aware of the disease and when it responded. People were getting ill in China in late November 2019, and its government resorted to desperate and brutally oppressive mitigation tactics. People were locked inside their apartments from the outside, and if they didn’t have enough food to survive, they were left to die, disallowed from leaving their domicile lest they infect anyone else. The violence startled free people in the Western world, unaware that similar and only slightly less cruel strategies were yet to get to them, too. The U.S. CDC claims to have been aware of these on December 31, 2019, and the U.S. HHS was notified within a month. January 20, 2020, was a landmark day in the crisis, as two public announcements occurred. The Chinese government announced that the disease was contagious, and the first case in the USA was announced. The infamous Coronavirus Task Force featuring Drs. Birx and Fauci was announced on January 29, 2020. Infections occurred throughout the country, but the president refused to panic.
Then-president Trump reacted to the threat with his famously usually right public policy instincts. He wanted to allow “herd immunity” to reduce the pandemic to an endemic and eventually a non-event. It was the commonsense strategy that many honest scientists supported. The many sides of Trump agreed that this was the best option. the businessman didn’t want to close the economy, and the humanitarian didn’t want to upend people’s lives unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, there was pressure from within the government, from Fauci and others, to choke off the country. The president bravely and steadfastly stood by his convictions…until a very influential person surprised him with a visit. This person was arguably the leading pundit on Mr.Trump’s favorite News network. You might scoff. Why should that matter? You have to understand that Mr.Trump had been a Democrat and had only recently converted to Republicanism, if you like, and relied on conservative polemicists to help him make the best choices to represent his conservative backers and also get him into the Republican political club. Trump took pundits very seriously and often crafted policy decisions from their advice, on their talk shows, or in person. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Judge Jeanine Pirro were reprimanded for giving testimonials to a Trump campaign rally. These people were his friends and advisors. So it should not be surprising when the leading host in all of cable news requests an emergency meeting and drives a long way that this person gets to counsel the president. The frantic consult occurred on March 7, 2020.
Tucker Carlson was worried. The news from China and the USA was dire and his sources were scaring him with prospects of large scale carnage. People were dying, and Mr. Carlson feared that the president wasn’t taking the situation seriously enough. He urged Trump to take stern measures to confront the disease.
Two days later, on March 9, 2020, the national plan became the restrictive policies we would soon endure. Did Trump rely on one talking head to turn around, or did this professional communicator soften him up for the organized onslaught from those in the administration with ulterior motives, and the death of a friend from the disease? That remains undisclosed. The policy changes didn’t happen immediately, but within a few days. Trump wouldn’t let one celebrity make a momentous policy and then claim it was his own, would he? Well, have you heard of The First Step Act? Have you heard how that came into existence? Kim Kardashian met with him and convinced him. Yes, a vapid celebrity famous only, because she’s rich and famous, instigated a national prison policy!
Most devastatingly, in the first week of March, one week before the lockdowns, Tucker flew to Mar-a-Lago – his first time there – to meet with Trump and tell him that he was completely wrong that this pandemic required no extraordinary response. Instead he needed to act now.

The book explains:
The strength of Tucker’s bond with Trump was apparent on March 7, 2020, when he went to Mar-a-Lago to press his rising concerns about Covid-19 to the president personally. At the time almost all other conservative commentators were downplaying the threat of the virus — and their liberal counterparts, in a frenzy over the first Trump impeachment, were likewise giving it short shrift — but Tucker’s sources were telling him that Beijing was lying, the devastation in China was massive, and what was coming here was going to be catastrophic.
“I told him,” Carlson acknowledges now of his meeting with the president, “he could easily lose the election over Covid.” A couple of days later, he was sounding the warning in equally blunt terms to his audience. “People you trust, people you probably voted for, have spent weeks minimizing what is clearly a very serious problem,” he said. “‘It’s just partisan politics,’ they say. ‘Calm down. In the end this was just like the flu and people die from that every year. Coronavirus will pass.”
Such people, he continued, were “wrong,” what was coming would be “major,” and “It’s definitely not just like the flu. . . . The Chinese coronavirus will get worse; its effects will be far more disruptive than they are right now. That is not a guess; it is inevitable no matter what they’re telling you. Let’s hope everyone stops lying about that, and soon.”
Trump and Carlson didn’t discuss their meeting publicly, but the media leaked it and praised Tucker’s selfless warning to the president. Tucker became a bipartisan hero. When the pandemic response becomes totalitarian, and the draconian policies become unbearable to almost everyone, a familiar talk star rides to the rescue again on the other side. The lockdowns have to end, he declared, to no avail. There was no stopping as the runaway train was rolling. The media returned to reviling Carlson as they had before he pleaded with Trump. He was “Back in Black,” as the song goes. Freedom lovers and those with common sense had the facts by then and appreciated the megaphone on their side, and his largely unknown role in their misery was relegated to history.
President Trump wanted to prevent the massive death and destruction of a virulent epidemic. His advisors convinced him to lock down—first, the “Fifteen Days to Stop the Spread,” which lasted much longer. The Mask mandates that defied almost every scientific recommendation in history. The “Social Distancing” mandates– weren’t those aptly named because the entire charade did just that. The Coronavirus facing the Trump administration and the world was suddenly upon them; making and distributing vaccines that don’t harm more than they cure takes years, often decades. The President was told a vaccine couldn’t be provided, even with all resources applied, until later. That was unacceptable, and President Trump forced the issue, eliminating the safety testing and practices, to enable a vaccine in a year. His triumph of a Coronavirus vaccine was added to the long list of “unprecedented” occurrences during the Trump era, and he gladly accepted the praise of “the Trump Effect” in making it happen. The efficacy of the vaccines and the adverse events are a national and worldwide tragedy today, but we are describing the situation of that time here.
The former president claims there were no lockdown mandates, but his administration applied immense pressure along with disinformation to coerce cooperation. Some sparsely populated states stayed open, while others navigated a changing statistical whirlwind. A few dared to open, and most stayed closed. Some people were allowed to work and support their families, while most people were forced into government dependency —to many, it was for the first time in their lives. Many jobs never returned, and the economy is staggering under the increase in a mountain of national debt. Teen and adult suicides increased dramatically, along with substance abuse and clinical depression. Medical needs were ignored to make room in case the pandemic escalated. Many children fael behind in their schooling, and very young children, deprived of necessary social stimulation, might never fully recover. Their best case is that they are very far behind—years behind. The devastation is endless.
Trump proudly tells of his making the vaccines happen when it normally would’ve taken longer than the pandemic lasted. He tells you that he never mandated that people had to take them. The federal government pressured governors, mayors, and business owners when they didn’t mandate the vaccinations, and the media shamed them. The federal government didn’t mandate the vaccines; they didn’t have to, because state and city governments, along with most employers, did. Take it and shut up, is what they told people. Oh, and how they hounded the dissidents, like hair salon owners and other people they sent to prison and forcibly closed their businesses That is what they called a choice.
Fox News joined other news organizations urging people to take the vaccine. Tucker flew to far away places on assignment. Commercial travel required vaccination and surely , he had to get vaccinated, right? His viewers, forced to take the Vax shared the uncertainty of what it did to them with their famous ally. Or did they?
Here is Tucker revealing his Vax status last year.
Meanwhile, the average person didn’t have the resources to ride the storm comfortably. Celebrities in their palatial estates told them to stay home.
Tucker Carlson didn’t stay in some small apartment during lockdown, like so many of his viewers. He traveled and spent his time in one of his mansions, where he proffered his advice and purported to be one of the people suffering. Um, not the same. While yelping over Pelosi’s illegal hair salon visit, Tucker Carlson was lapping up the luxury of his surroundings with impunity. Hypocrite much?
There is a new election campaign, and demands for a reckoning have appeared. The former president denies any errors and has resorted to disinformation against his opponents. This is his familiar strategy. Some want better from a man wanting another opportunity to be in the same leadership position where he could deal with another pandemic. If he doesn’t believe he erred, might he be convinced to take the country down the same route again if he is briefed with scarier scenarios? He will have better advisors in his next term, we are told. Really? The list of hires sabotaging his last administration and replacing them with other double-dealers is replete withi incredibly poor vetting. Maybe he will take further advice from Tucker Carlson. Is that mitigating your worry? These are genuine concerns that Trump refuses to address because either he knows it is a major electoral vulnerability or he cannot believe he allowed himself to be deceived with such monumentally disastrous consequences. Mention this, and you’ll be attacked thoroughly by his supporters and many opponents. Democrats appreciated the lockdowns because they gave them the means to rearrange election law and install a corpse in the White House to ensure irretrievable national deterioration. The world can also blame the USA, as most nations went along with the same policy directives. The world changed terribly and now you know where to place the blame. Don’t let them pretend they’re on your side any longer. They played all of us. It is time for the reckoning. Make them know that what they did to you is unacceptable, and certainly don’t let them keep get away away with that. Your life and every generation of people after depends on better judgment from political leaders and those voting on them. Stop being sheeple, because they will lead you to the slaughter with no remorse.
