Investing in the Lie – Slaves to Belief

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RE-SHARE/REPOST

Although this article is about the current COVID-19 scam, a number of the observations, themes and much of the commentary can be applied more generally – to any topic or issue which has been falsely presented and portrayed by mainstream media, or influential groups who have a special interest in a particular narrative. Here, I may be covering themes that I have covered before in earlier writings, but I wanted to consider these same themes in the context of what has been happening, globally, in the first six months of 2020.

I have only included a few references in this article – but much of the evidence this missive is based on can be found linked or posted at https://cvpandemicinvestigation.com/ – please look there or email ad.johnson@ntlworld.com with any questions you may have.

If you currently believe the prevailing narrative about COVID-19, please can you read my independent report on the alleged COVID-19 pandemic, which  has been distributed to various MPs and other officials. Below, I include several bullet points which should give a critical thinker some cause to question the narrative that has been thrust upon us in all media.

• Dr Neil Ferguson (former UK Pandemic Advisor), who is largely responsible for triggering the lockdown measures – ignored lockdown so he could spend time with his girlfriend. This means he did not consider the virus a real threat.
• Ferguson’s model, used by the government, has proved totally inaccurate and according to code reviews of his software, it had serious flaws.
• Ferguson and another UK Government advisor have both ignored lockdown Dr Neil Ferguson and Dominic Cummings – have both broken lockdown rules themselves. Whilst mainstream reports focused either on their resignations or lack thereof, they don’t ever seem to mention that the reason these people broke the lockdown is because they don’t consider the virus is a real threat to younger, healthier people (which is my conclusion).
• COVID-19 testing is unreliable – to the point of being almost meaningless.
• Whilst ill people have been “funnelled” into fewer hospitals (because of the policy of trying to prevent the spread of virus which almost everyone already has – and can’t be tested for reliably anyway), and this has caused some ICUs to be overloaded, the “temporary hospitals” – as well as “normal ones” are half-empty – deserted in some places. Does this make any sense to you if the alleged “pandemic” has been appropriately classified?
• The lockdown measures themselves are almost certainly causing more deaths than the so-called virus.
• There are conflicts of interest in the Government and SAGE in relation to proposed methods for dealing with COVID-19.

There are many more reasons than those above which you need to consider before deciding whether you should invest in the COVID-19 lie. As an almost “random” choice from many YouTube postings and videos, I here include one by a chap called Jeremy Elliot, who  considers  some of the reasons not to invest in the lie.

Knowledge and Belief, Freedom and Slavery

For those of us that have been peeling back the narrative layers within the commonly accepted stories or accounts about important issues that concern us all, there is a saying – “The Truth Will Set You Free.” Some people like to add “… but first, it will piss you off!” (Pardon the language).

I agree with this observation/sentiment but like to express or describe it in a different way – a way which helps me to understand why we may feel freed when we learn the truth about something. To me, the freedom is based on possession of knowledge which displaces the possession of belief. I have, more recently, been trying to state more clearly how important it is to differentiate between belief and knowledge. It is important to make sure you understand and appreciate whether you have knowledge about an issue, belief about an issue – or a mixture of both.

In interviews, my friend Dr Judy Wood, has often stated “Know what it is that you know that you know.” Another way of saying this might be “Don’t confuse knowledge with belief.” When we hear accepted narratives being challenged in mainstream media, it is the norm for interviewers or presenters to use the word “belief” or “believe” when, really, they should be using the word “knowledge” or “know.” In other words, where an important narrative, promoted by a group with an agenda, is being analysed or discussed, knowledge can be “downgraded” to “belief.”

Believe What the Media Tells Us

The mainstream media organisations and governments of the world have been primarily responsible for developing and (arguably) enforcing the COVID-19 narrative and there is virtually no meaningful dissent allowed. For example, though some speakers have questioned the usage of “police-state measures,” there has been very little questioning of the virus idea itself, or the usage of the “virus test,” which I will discuss further below.

One thing I have observed is that mostly, when a presenter or interviewer does this, the interviewee rarely notices this and tacitly accepts this downgrading of “knowledge” – failing to point out that they are discussing evidence which, in many cases, can be known, learned and understood.

So, it is the process of moving from belief to knowledge which liberates the individual. Therefore, I would argue, we can associate knowledge with freedom in just the same way that we can associate belief with slavery. I am sure there are far more erudite speakers, philosophers and thinkers than myself that have expressed this more eloquently or lyrically and perhaps I have been slow to see or express it in this way.

Slave to Belief

Following the events of 9/11, many thousands or even millions of people became slaves to a belief that Islamic Terrorists were a threat to their lives and livelihoods. Their beliefs and servitude to them are present even today. However, unless these people were regular air travellers or lived in a densely populated city, the effect of these beliefs on their everyday lives was fairly minimal or even non-existent.

Unfortunately, mainstream sources wanted this belief to persist and would therefore censor, ignore or attempt to diminish anyone or any source which might replace such a belief with knowledge – which would show the belief was unfounded/untrue. This demonstrates how valuable beliefs are to those who want to perpetuate a system based on slavery. They need to promote and strengthen beliefs to enable their own special interests. They need certain beliefs to be active in the majority of the global population, so that their agenda can be promoted  and advanced…

Believe in a most Deadly Virus!

Since early 2020, many global groups, companies and agencies have been promoting another belief – that a deadly “Coronavirus” began to spread from the city of Wuhan, China – and it quickly became a threat to everyone in the world. Oddly enough, though this was the impression that was created, through a combination of “story-telling” and “expert opinion,” a number of government officials, for example, Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Adviser to the UK Government, stated on 11 May 2020:

Sure, we’ve heard a few “scare stories,” and I’ve heard that some people have been quite ill with “something” (a sometimes serious respiratory illness) – but I’ve heard of more people recovering than dying – which ties up well with what Chris Whitty stated a couple of months ago. But, a posting on the Facebook page of “UK Prime Minister” (whoever that may be…) on 1 April 2020 showed this:

So, despite the statements of Chris Whitty, the didactic, short messages above are the ones which have “prevailed,” for the most part. One result is that we are currently faced with many people wearing masks (which do nothing to protect the average person from viruses or infection and indeed inhibit the flow of oxygen into the lungs, thereby causing worse problems for many people than they allegedly protect against). We will look at this issue a bit more in a later section.

Believe in the Test!

The current virus belief is primarily based on the idea that the “deadly virus” (which most experts have actually said is not deadly at all – except to those who are already sick) has been detected because a unique RNA fingerprint it has – which is different to all other viruses and it is unique to the “novel Coronavirus”. This “fingerprint” can be detected using what is known as a PCR test. All this really does is check that whatever sample is under test has the RNA sequence in it. It does not prove the sample contains coronavirus. It does not prove, at all, that the person the sample was taken from is infectious with said virus. It does not prove that person will exhibit any symptoms of infection. It does not prove that person poses any health risk to anyone else. The test just proves that an RNA sequence was, somewhere, detected in the sample and that RNA sequence is the same the one which was allegedly detected in this alleged coronavirus – SARS-COV2, which allegedly causes a disease or illness called COVID-19. The test does even not even measure or determine how much of any allegedly infectious virus a person has in their system. Neither does the test determine the subject’s likelihood of exhibiting symptoms, falling ill, or dying.

However, with the vast resources available to the governments and large, corporately owned media networks of the world, a global belief has been created that “testing positive for coronavirus means you are a risk to others.” If you test positive, you “need to be treated differently.” Most people who are tested are of the belief that the test is relevant, effective and accurate. It is none of these things. They are so enslaved by their belief in the test that they will generally accept they are a risk to others and therefore accept “appropriate” measures recommended for them (such as “self-isolation”). They have decided to sacrifice freedom for security. Whilst they may be doing this for altruistic reasons – they wouldn’t want to put anyone else at risk unnecessarily – they have done this based on belief, not knowledge. They have no knowledge of how the test works. They have no knowledge that it most likely has given a “false positive” result and is, actually, “not fit for purpose.” None of this matters to them, because their implanted, encouraged or even forced belief has dictated their acceptance of the situation. They probably don’t even consider any of the questions or issues I have raised above – they just don’t want to come to any harm, nor do they want to cause harm to others.  They don’t want to be accused of acting irresponsibly or acting “against the interests of the community…” etc. Are you getting, now, what this sounds a bit like… A kind of “health-based communism.” It’s a belief system which works for non-political reasons. It works on people who are generally “comfortable” with life and have difficulty determining that they have been manipulated by people with little conscience, a bit of cunning, a good knowledge of human psychology and a wish to increase their power, or wealth, or both.

This is really little different to the way a cult works. Cult members are encouraged to make compromises or sacrifices for the “good of the cult (group)” or so that they can either help or fit in with other members of the cult or group, in some way.

With the coronavirus cult belief system, “the faithful” have now surrendered many of their rights – such as freedom of movement and freedom of association – all because of the virus/test belief system that has been put in place, across the globe, in the last 6 months or so.

Believe in the NHS!

In the UK, one of the key elements of making the “cult belief system” effective is something approaching an idolatry of the UK’s National Health Service. In other countries, the use of the “NHS” might be replaced with “Health Workers” or a similar term. Once the belief has been created that the general population is at serious risk, it is easier to then foster an adjunct belief in supporting those who are mitigating said risk. This “belief in the NHS” actually has a stronger foundation than the “belief in the virus” or “the test,” because NHS workers do, by and large, try to help people recover their health following illness or injury. Hence, it is easy to create the motivation for people to invest some time in creating large banners like these (all seen within half a mile of my own home):

Many other houses in my local area have similar, smaller designs placed in their windows etc.

To me, it appears that this “NHS thing” was turned into a “god-like entity” – only capable of good things, not to be questioned and should be obeyed.  Weekly “veneration” was regularly encouraged (i.e. the clapping sessions – which people near me took part in – to my surprise). Again, this shows well how a certain belief can be engendered – if a message of fear is repeated often enough or loudly enough such that enough people think a “god” will protect them from an “unseen enemy” that is poorly understood. Close parallels can seemingly be drawn as to how evangelical preachers convince gullible people to give them money or act in a certain way to ensure “holy protection” from “evil forces” or “dire consequences.” Doubtless some readers of this article will reject this parallel as being inappropriate or unreasonable. Nevertheless, “heretics” like me feel uncomfortable that others don’t see the manipulation, psychological torture and emotional blackmail which has been used on them. They don’t, won’t or even can’t see the larger picture of what is happening.

For example, most of these people probably have a belief that all the hospital beds are full and the morgues are overflowing with the terrible results of “coronavirus.” Very few of them will have gained knowledge that many hospitals are half-empty – because of a lack of virus victims (Chris Whitty said it would only hospitalise a few people) and further, people have actively avoided their normal hospital appointments because a belief system has been created that they are at risk from a deadly virus (which, of course, would be concentrated much more highly in a hospital filled with victims).

Sadly, despite all the evidence, many health care workers themselves – including supposedly knowledgeable doctors – have favoured belief over knowledge. They have chosen to strengthen and even enforce the belief system – either by wearing PPE themselves or telling people that they must wear a mask in order to access their service or obtain support – when this actually worsens the situation rather than improves it.

To support these beliefs, certain discussions are censored and those who have tried to present a more truthful, knowledge/fact-based presentation of the situation have been discouraged from speaking out or they have even been sanctioned. One recent example of this involves what has happened in Leicester – a doctor wished to reveal his knowledge of the actual situation, but had to remain anonymous, so that he was not punished for showing he had replaced some belief with some knowledge.

Believe in the Risk! Track and Trace!

As noted above, a general belief in the validity of the “virus” and the “virus test” opens up possibilities for all kinds of other linked beliefs to “blossom and multiply.” Once the belief that the test is valid has been established, and the belief that coronavirus is a general threat to everyone’s well-being, a further belief that “the unclean” (who tested positive – and are thereby deemed infectious – and believed dangerous) need to be “tracked and traced.” But again this is all based on belief – not knowledge or evidence. There is still no actual evidence that someone who has tested positive is any more of a threat to anyone’s well-being than someone who tests negative… And if they have no symptoms, then there is really nothing to say that they should be treated differently – except some unreliable test which shows they have a particular RNA sequence in a sample of material which was (perhaps) once in their body… An NHS video clearly states the intent of testing:

So, you have a slight temperature and a dry cough – you have to stop work for 2 weeks (without a medical note) and stay indoors? How practical is this for most people?

Remember, this is the “god-like venerated entity” – the NHS speaking to you. It wants you to comply – in order that it can protect you from those who are “unclean.” You must not associate with other “unclean” people – or everyone could suffer, because you didn’t follow the instructions given by “god.” You will be “tracked and traced.” Are there parallels here between the NHS with “track and trace” and an “omnipresent all-seeing god…?” I’ll leave you to decide.

So, now you have built a whole industry around testing and tracing. You have a “faithful band of disciples” – “trackers and tracers” – who all believe they are taking part in a “great work” to help protect or preserve “the health of the nation” or the “well-being of the population.” In reality, they simply have not gained enough knowledge of any or all of the matters I have written about here and their good intentions have been subverted into helping “the people above them” develop methods for limiting the freedoms of ordinary people and forcing them into compromising circumstances of one kind or another. Whilst all this is going on, new social structures, norms and behaviour patterns can be promoted or discouraged – rewarded or punished. New entities can take control of health organisations, education, public services – and, well, just about anything. A new Social Order can be established – all because enough people believe certain things about a virus and a test which supposedly detects its presence.

Believe in Face Masks!

Just recently, I saw this in the windows of one of our local hairdressers, which has been closed for 3 or 4 months!

   

What you can get people to do with belief, not knowledge. They will close their business and suffer hardship for 3 months, then support your narrative, rather than challenge it and ask detailed questions about the underlying evidence.

I guess the person or people that put up these signs believe the virus is a threat to their health, and that of their customers. They also appear to believe that wearing a mask will offer some kind of protection against the “deadly” virus. They are slaves to their beliefs but could be freed by knowledge.

When I learned the UK Government had told public transport operators they must implement a face mask wearing policy, I decided to email all UK rail operators. Like most companies or groups, people “at the customer service desks” probably don’t have much say in how the company operates nor can they give advice to company executives/directors. I therefore started my message, thus:

I have, so far, only received a couple of responses – this one came from Eurostar
