Through The Brownstone Institute,
The next is Jeffrey Tucker’s Foreword introduction to Debbie Lerman’s new e book, The Deep State Goes Viral: Pandemic Planning and the Covid Coup.
It was a couple of month into lockdowns, April 2020, and my telephone rang with an uncommon quantity. I picked up and the caller recognized himself as Rajeev Venkayya, a reputation I knew from my writings on the 2005 pandemic scare. Now the top of a vaccine firm, he as soon as served as Particular Assistant to the President for Biodefense, and claimed to be the inventor of pandemic planning.
Venkayya was a major creator of “A Nationwide Technique for Pandemic Influenza” as issued by the George W. Bush administration in 2005.
It was the primary doc that mapped out a nascent model of lockdowns, designed for world deployment.
“A flu pandemic would have world penalties,” mentioned Bush, “so no nation can afford to disregard this menace, and each nation has tasks to detect and cease its unfold.”
It was at all times an odd doc as a result of it stood in fixed contradiction to public well being orthodoxies relationship again many years and even a century.
With it, there have been two different paths in place within the occasion of a brand new virus: the conventional path that everybody is taught in medical faculty (therapeutics for the sick, warning with social disturbances, calm and purpose, quarantines solely in excessive circumstances) and a biosecurity path that invoked totalitarian measures.
These two paths existed side-by-side for a decade and a half earlier than the lockdowns.
Now I discovered myself talking with the man who claims credit score for having mapped out the biosecurity strategy, which contradicted all public well being knowledge and expertise. His plan was lastly being applied. Not too many voices dissented, partially attributable to concern but additionally attributable to censorship, which was already very tight. He informed me to cease objecting to the lockdowns as a result of they’ve every thing below management.
I requested a fundamental query. Let’s say all of us hunker down, disguise below the couch, eschew bodily conferences with household and pals, cease all gatherings of every kind, and hold companies and faculties closed. What, I requested, occurs to the virus itself? Does it bounce in a gap within the floor or head to Mars for concern of one other press convention by Andrew Cuomo or Anthony Fauci?
After some fallacy-filled banter concerning the R-naught, I might inform he was getting exasperated with me, and at last, with some hesitation, he informed me the plan. There can be a vaccine. I balked and mentioned that no vaccine can sterilize towards a fast-mutating respiratory pathogen with a zoonotic reservoir. Even when such a factor did seem, it will take 10 years of trials and testing earlier than it was protected to launch to the overall inhabitants. Are we going to remain locked down for a decade?
“It would come a lot sooner,” he mentioned. “You watch. You’ll be shocked.”
Hanging up, I recall dismissing him as a crank, a has-been with nothing higher to do than name up poor writers and bug them.
I had solely misinterpret the that means, just because I used to be not ready to know the sheer depth and vastness of the operation now in play. All that was going down struck me as clearly harmful and basically flawed however rooted in a sort of mental error: a lack of understanding of virology fundamentals.
Across the similar time, the New York Occasions posted with out fanfare a brand new doc referred to as PanCAP-A: Pandemic Disaster Motion Plan – Tailored. It was Venkayya’s plan, solely intensified, as launched on March 13, 2020, three days earlier than President Trump’s press convention saying the lockdowns. I learn by means of it, reposted it, however had no concept what it meant. I hoped somebody might come alongside to clarify it, interpret it, and tease out its implications, all within the curiosity of attending to the underside of the who, what, and why of this elementary assault on civilization itself.
That individual did come alongside. She is Debbie Lerman, intrepid creator of this excellent e book that so superbly presents the very best ideas on all of the questions that had eluded me. She took the doc aside and found a elementary fact therein. The rule-making authority for the pandemic response was not vested in public-health companies however the Nationwide Safety Council.
This was acknowledged as plain as day within the doc; I had someway missed that. This was not public well being. It was nationwide safety. The antidote below improvement with the label vaccine was actually a navy countermeasure. In different phrases, this was Venkayya’s plan instances ten, and the concept was exactly to override all custom and public well being considerations and change them with nationwide safety measures.
Realizing this basically adjustments the construction of the story of the final 5 years. This isn’t a narrative of a world that mysteriously forgot about pure immunity and made some mental error in pondering that governments might shut down economies and switch them again on once more, scaring a pathogen again to the place it got here from. What we skilled in a really actual sense was quasi-martial regulation, a deep-state coup not solely on a nationwide however on a global degree.
These are terrifying ideas and hardly anybody is ready to debate them, which is why Lerman’s e book is so essential. By way of public debate about what occurred to us, we’re barely at first. There may be now a willingness to confess that the lockdowns did extra general hurt than good. Even the legacy media has began venturing out to grant permission for such ideas. However the position of the prescribed drugs in driving the coverage and the position of the national-security state in backing this grand industrial mission continues to be taboo.
In Twenty first-century journalism and advocacy designed to affect the general public thoughts, the overwhelming concern of all writers and establishments is skilled survival. Meaning becoming into an permitted ethos or paradigm whatever the info. Because of this Lerman’s thesis shouldn’t be debated; it’s hardly spoken of in any respect in well mannered society. That mentioned, my work at Brownstone Institute has put me in shut contact with many thinkers in excessive locations. This a lot I can say: what Lerman has written on this e book shouldn’t be disputed however admitted in non-public.
Unusual isn’t it? We noticed throughout the Covid years how skilled aspiration incentivized silence even within the face of egregious violations of human rights, together with necessary faculty closures that robbed kids of training, adopted by face-covering necessities and compelled injections for the entire inhabitants. The near-silence was deafening even when anybody with a mind and a conscience knew that every one of this was improper. Not even the excuse that “We didn’t know” works anymore as a result of we did know.
This similar dynamic of social and cultural management is totally in operation now that we’re by means of that stage and onto one other one, which is exactly why Lerman’s findings haven’t but made their option to well mannered society, to say nothing of mainstream media. Will we get there? Perhaps. This e book will help; a minimum of it’s now obtainable for everybody courageous sufficient to confront the info. You can find herein essentially the most well-documented and coherent presentation of solutions to the core questions (what, how, why) that every one of us have been asking since this hell was first visited upon us.
