Knew by early 2020 it was a scam. After being forced to argue the fine points such as

-no Koch's postulates = no epidemic,

-PCR test useless for diagnosis = no epidemic,

- if there was a real deadly epidemic we would all be dead from responding the way we did = no deadly epidemic.

-World Economic Forum holds a virus war game exercise October 2019 = suspect the intent of the WEF is maximized control, furthering of their agenda, increased profits for themselves and their partners

- The entire planet (MS Media, governments, corporations, institutions) goes into overdrive in promoting fear about the virus and in seeking to further control public behavior.

-Immense amounts of profits are enjoyed by the so-called elites while the average person suffers.

This list could go on for pages, but....

Agree with KW on everything.

When I heard the vaccine would be mRNA (David Webb) it verified my suspicion it was a real "first strike" and not some accident or scam. Subsequently, classifying it as depopulation by a Global Intel Cartel seems obvious, bloody obvious as the Brits might say.

Yes. That about covers it. Same for me.

First when I saw loved ones rush towards pseudoscience and authoritarianism, realising the power of the applied behavioral psychology techniques used by governments, especially SPI-B/SAGE in the UK.

It really was remarkable how much behavioral science was used. And sad and criminal.

When I listened to my best friend crying over the phone because he was not allowed to be with his dying wife. I knew almost from the beginning that this could not be a real pandemic (no bodies, only restrictions). I chose the financial heist, but really it's only a cover for the heist. Depopulation seems to be the most likely suspect.

As soon as I saw the narrative coalesce in the corporate media. Once they get one nailed down and they're all in lockstep it's guaranteed there's some bullshit afoot.

LOL true! It always smells like BS when everybody in media is covering it the same way at the same time

I chose control of the population, even though depopulation looks like a viable option.

I picked the control factor because of all the blatant 1984 style actions of worldwide governments, which will continue to affect everyone who doesn't experience mortality from the bioweapon injections.

I knew right away that it was a front for authoritarianism. This economist cover confirmed my viewpoint.

all of the above (i picked depopulation because that's how the satanic ritual ends)

was blindsided by lockdown - remembered mexico city 09 lockdown for the swine flu scamdemic which ended after 9 days since the economy was tanking. didn't learn about the 2014-15 sierra leone ebola lockdowns til later.

never thought that nyc real estate interests would allow it to happen since it would trigger a wave of evictions (which it did starting in 2021).

the fine-tuned propaganda 24/7, the ubiquitous signage were also big tells esp. since at the time there was always the fine print, "this virus is basically harmless to all but a small percentage of the population."

but i still thought it was just oligarchs and their political gofers consolidating power, little hitlers unable to resist the urge to become big hitlers. didn't figure out the genocide angle until august when sherri tenpenny did that video on what's in the shots. so i get how people could have a hard time coming to grips with the total agenda, basically i couldn't believe that people on all levels could be so stupid. the killers or the killed.

I was convinced by mid-April 2020, accepting that SARS-COV-2 was probably an actual virus, that COVID-19 was a control through fear scam that was going to lead to more sickness and death.

On May 5, 2020, I posted to Twitter:

"THE BEST THINGS to come from this #SARS_COV_2 fiasco is worldwide exposure of #irrefutable #interrelated #corruption of & #harm by:

#Pharmaceutical, esp #Vaccines!

#CDC #WHO

#GatesFoundation

#BillGates

#Tyrannical #Politicians #PoliceState;

#FakeNewsMedia;

& so many more."

When I read that the CDC, in Bulletin #02 dated March 2020, changed (for the first time in 17 years) how death certificates were to be issued, something which violated two Federal laws (Paper Reduction Act and another) and without the required 60 day public input or comments.

I opted for Control of the Population (for financial and political reasons, as well as power/influence).

Although @Zool 's argument for depopulation of the Western world by the CCP to create 'lebensraum' for the Chinese population, is certainly food for thought.

But I do have large reservations about the Western WEF puppets executing a DELIBERATE depopulation agenda. If the jab is indeed '100% effective' in culling their sheepish followers, they will be left with a non-vaxxed population that will certainly go for their blood as everybody will have loved ones that were sacrificed.

I suspect it is not 100% effective as many experiments within experiments were taking place and such a slow kill weapon would be unpredictable when unleashed. That is assuming that they were TRYING to do that rather than collateral damage being an acceptable outcome for a bigger agenda and/or the real experimentation on killer and slow kill shots was limited to certain batches countries or groups. Curiously the biggest increases in 2022 all cause excessive deaths are in Iran and Russia two countries in the USAs crosshairs (30%-40% above baseline). I hesitate to think China did a good job of importing lock downs to other countries they seem to be the only ones left interested in zero covid at all costs. It's hard to calculate death numbers from their restrictions but they clearly eclipse the virus even in a best case scenario (as one example a bus crash carrying people to quarantine camps killed 21, in a region with zero Covid deaths in a year). There's countless videos of people committing suicide, countless animals being killed, people wailing and screaming to cetera. I'd buy the China is taking over the west with covert warfare if they looked more back to normal but at bare minimum Xi has discovered a tool to crush opposition. Tyrants gonna tyrant

Its basically about the enclosure of what's left of the commons, which is our bodies and that of all other living things including genetic material.

They are Malthusians that believe the universe only tends toward lifelessness, and their model is capitalism without debt forgiveness. They believe enclosure is necessary to save capitalism without forgiving debt. The history of debt jubilees goes back centuries, but they will have none of that.

It's Potato Famine 2.0, the global version.

When did I know and how? Sometime in early 2020 I think, because I read it on globalresearch.ca, a great source of information collected by economist Dr. Michel Chossudovsky.

We all depend on our sources of information to synthesize things. Not many of us are experts. Big Brother knows this well and keeps tight control of all the news he can. But leaks occur.

Michel Chossudovsky is a tireless opponent of tyranny. He was teaching in Chile when Allende was overthrown, and he saw how David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger orchestrated events there and in the dirty war in Argentina. He says that basically the same people are involved in the "Great Reset". He knew Fidel Castro and interviewed him extensively before Castro died.

By the way, keep an eye on John Kerry, not in the driver's seat, but a scary authority figure with a booming voice that they wheel out when they need to intimidate people. He recently said that people will be surprised at how quickly things happen now. But I think things are beginning to go wrong for them. They will be exposed and defeated.

Monopoly the board game is fun but its amazingly like real economics. One person ends up with all the properties and cash.

So they are trying to extend the game by calling nearby things properties, the furniture, the family dog, maybe your shoes, your glasses, etc.

But the game is over and its time to put it back on the shelf and get back to life as it has to be in order to be sustainable, that is, in a shared world.

The game is over, but there will be a lot of dead to bury.

By about June, 2020, it was obvious to me that the whole thing was a scam. The media luxuriated in terrifying everyone with relentless fear mongering and our politicians here in Australia became increasingly unhinged, tyrannical, and sadistic. The ruthless panic porn also failed to comport with what I saw with my own eyes. No one was keeling over in the streets, not a single person I knew was sick or in hospital, and the supermarkets were well stocked. I was astounded by all the fear in people's eyes and I was shocked at how easily we could be abused, controlled, and manipulated. So I would say this was all about control.

The minute that old, rich politician barged in my home, dragging a poor, starving child and said

" Here's the deal. There is an infection that you might get and that you will almost certainly survive and I'm going try to keep you from getting it. In order to that I'm going to take away most of your "rights" but more importantly, I'm going to have to hurt, maim and starve this child. You okay with that?"

I could not believe that this small global group of corruptees came up with a "health" policy that was based on definitely and deliberately hurting (even unto death) some people (especially children), in order to maybe prevent illness in others (mostly the elderly). Surreal. Horrific. Maddening.

I had been anticipating a pandemic since the mid 90's, after reading Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague. Also I had been anticipating resource constraints and population numbers causing increased illness.

When Covid showed up, sadly my primary news influence was Nakedcapitalism.com. In May 2021 I got the Phizer double tap, falling prey to the fear that I would never see my parents again, as they were forcing people to die alone.

By the fall I had found the Darkhorse podcast, Dr Malone and Steve Kirsch. And then I knew.

Nakedcapitalism is still all about lockdowns, social distancing and long covid.

I picked control of the population, but I would have picked all of the above.

First, when everyone I knew got it and everyone was fine, including a 67 year old man.

Then they switched from masks to no masks.

Then they went after anti lockdown protestors, but let BLM burn cities, and defended it.

And finally, not one of the elites acted like they gave a shit, none wore masks, all traveled.
