The lab-leak story is (a) an out for those who haven't wanted to face the fallout of covering the actual Covid story, i.e., manipulation of definitions and statistics to generate the illusion of an apocalyptic plague, and (b) reification of that illusion. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget about Sweden, Florida, Texas, etc.
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you will forget how they redefined a medical "case" to include perfectly healthy people, and then reported an explosion of "cases."
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll totally forget how they defined a "Covid hospitalization" as anyone in hospital, for any reason, who tested positive with a PCR test jacked up to 40 or 50.
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll totally forget how they defined a "Covid death" as anyone who died, of any cause, who tested positive with a PCR test within the previous 28 days.
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget how they suddenly decided that herd immunity had never existed, and could only be achieved with an experimental "vaccine."
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget how they showed us fake photos of "people dropping dead in the streets from Covid" back when the Shock and Awe campaign began.
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget how they terrorized everyone with pictures of "death trucks."
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget all the empty "emergency Covid hospitals."
If they can get you focus on how the "monster virus" may have "escaped from a lab" (like in a sci-fi movie), maybe you'll forget the totally non-apocalyptic age-adjusted deaths rates. And so on ...
But, whatever, forget all those facts, and enjoy the lab-leak story. It probably happened just like in the movies!

At the end of every year, we normally retweet all our essays for that year, so we're going to go ahead and do that. We'll start with March, because 2020 essentially started in March.
In Frankfurt, the New Normal Gestapo instructed this man to eat his apple faster, in order to comply with the Apple-Eating-Speed Regulations ... seriously, not a joke. The cop is ordering the man to eat faster. Happy yet, totalitarians?
Meanwhile, on the road to a protest in Dredsen, it was time for "show me your papers." This bus was intercepted by the police, who demanded everyone's ID docs, ordered them to go home, and then escorted the bus back to the motorway.

We would appreciate it if @TwitterSupport or @bundesrat could point out exactly which "German law(s)" prohibit the sharing of video footage of anti-totalitarianism protesters getting sprayed with water cannons by the German police.
Apologies ... we are getting a little confused by @Twitter's censorship notices. It appears the above censorship notice was about the censorship of an @OffGuardian0 tweet, not ours. This is the one of ours that Twitter is censoring ...
We are also no longer sure whether @Twitter is censoring our below tweet, or whether their censorship notice refers to a separate tweet of ours that they are censoring. Again, we apologize for any confusion caused by our misreading of Twitter's censorship notices.
We can't understand people's resistance to unquestioningly obeying the government's orders to pointlessly wear masks out in public ... after all, they're just harmless pieces of cloth.
Someone reported our tweet to the Twitter thoughtpolice, who have "investigated" our content, and decided that we are, for now, allowed to tweet it. We wish totalitarians luck in their future efforts to censor and/or intimidate us!
Having been apprised of the recent attempt to censor their work, our creative team has come up with another one that coronavirus totalitarians will be sure to like ...
