BREAKING: White House Plans "Extreme" Rebrand for Nation's COVID Response

Acknowledging the failure of its "COVID is mild" marketing campaign, the White House said Friday it is launching a new messaging to inform the public that #COVID19 is a "f---ing rush."

"We're going from mild to wild," said CDC director Rochelle Walensky.

The White House said it is brining in a "dream team" of experts including rapper Travis Scott, Former CrossFit CEO Gregg Glassman, and Youtuber WhistlinDiesel to lead the nation's COVID response. 2/
= SATIRE =
"Young people don't want to die from something 'mild,'" said White House COVID coordinator Jeff Zients. "Polls clearly show Gen Z favors 'hot and spicy' branding for respiratory pathogens.

"If young people are going to die, they want it to be worth it," Zients said.3/

Zients praised Glassman's ability to "get people to pay hundreds of dollars per month to gasp for air on the floor of some filthy warehouse."

"We need that for hospitals," Zients said.
"He's like 300 pounds and people still take his fitness advice. He's a genius."4/
= SATIRE =
Most controversially of all, the new "dream team" includes rapper Travis Scott, who performed for nearly an hour as hundreds of fans suffered compressive asphyxiation, leading to 10 deaths.
"You've got to admire his tenacity," Zients said."America is 'ready to rage'"5/

There is a huge amount of noise on the issue of internet censorship that is drowning of the signal.

These are the facts.

In 2017/2018, the Democratic and Republican parties launched a campaign to censor the internet.
This bipartisan campaign resurrected a term used by Hitler's Nazi party, "Lügenpresse," rebranding it as "fake news."

As Hillary Clinton write in her 2017 memoir, “WikiLeaks… helped accelerate the phenomenon that eventually came to be known as fake news.”
In this Orwellian concept, the true, verifiable documents published by Wikileaks that exposed US war crimes and efforts by the Clinton campaign to sabotage the sanders campaign, were the archetype of "fake news."

On Friday, Johns Hopkins will shut down its COVID-19 tracker.

This is the product of a systematic campaign launched one year ago by the Biden Administration aimed at "conditioning Americans" to live with COVID-19 by shutting down data reporting.

Do not be "conditioned."
On February 4, 2022, we explained the White House's modus operandi:

"The motto is: Hear no deaths, see no deaths, speak no deaths. But people keep on dying."

We warned of "systematic campaign to end reporting of COVID-19 cases and deaths."

wsws.org/en/articles/20…
It started with the White House encouraging states to end daily reporting. Then came the end of HHS case/death reporting. Then the CDC ended daily reporting. And now Johns Hopkins is shutting down.

With the FBI declaring that it believes COVID-19 came from a lab leak , what is the actual evidence pointing to the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

Read this thread to find out 👇
The most consistent advocates of the Wuhan lab theory are @R_H_Ebright and @mattwridley.

@R_H_Ebright explained to me in 2022 that he does not know if COVID-19 was engineered or accidentally released, due to lack of "secure evidence."
In his book, @mattwridley says the same thing, explaining that there does not exist a "preponderance of evidence" pointing to either accidental release or genetic engineering.

. @RaheemKassam, the fascist ideologue and an architect of the January 6 coup, is gloating about the fact that the White House and US media have embraced the Wuhan lab conspiracy theory, which he helped invent. 1/

. @RaheemKassam served as the co-host of the War Room: Pandemic podcast that was a nerve center of the January 6 insurrection. Before the January 6 committee heard Bannon's declaration that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow," the screen flashed to Kassam. 2/
But few know that the podcast at the heart of the January 6 insurrection was created to promote of the Wuhan lab lie. 3/

One year ago, The White House initiated a systematic, planned campaign to end daily COVID-19 case and death reporting, whose aim was to dull public awareness of COVID-19 in order to "condition Americans" to accept perpetual mass infection and death. 1/

The campaign began in early January with discussions between the CDC and Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists of a directive to "would direct states to limit daily case reporting." 2/

This shift was facilitated by a media campaign to bring COVID-19 disinformation into the mainstream. @dleonhardt wrote absurd lies like, "Covid now appears to present less threat to most vaccinated elderly people than the annual flu." 3/
