  Even a Military-Enforced Quarantine Can’t Stop the Virus, Study Reveals J effrey A. Tucker   The  New England Journal of Medicine  has published a study that goes to the heart of the issue of lockdowns. The question has always been whether and to what extent a lockdown, however extreme, is capable of suppressing the virus. If so, you can make an argument that at least lockdowns, despite their astronomical social and economic costs, achieve something. If not, nations of the world have embarked on a catastrophic experiment that has destroyed billions of lives, and all expectation of human rights and liberties, with no payoff at all.  AIER has long  highlighted studies  that show no gain in virus management from lockdowns. Even as early as April, a major data scientist  said  that this virus becomes endemic in 70 days after the first round of infection, regardless of policies. The largest global study of lockdowns compared with deaths as  published  in  The Lancet  found no association

  "Watch This!" Dmitry Orlov There are times in my career as a collapse observer and systematizer when my running commentary can quite reasonably be pared down to just two words: “Watch this!” The current severe stage of the financial and economic collapse sequence that was initiated in 2008, which is being artificially masked (no pun intended) by  the fake Covid “pandemic,”  and now a hung and fraudulent US election on top of it is just such an occasion: why not just sit back and watch the world burn? But I happen to be in a particularly good and sprightly mood today, and when I get that way few things can hold me back from holding forth and bloviating prophetically. Let’s start with a quick jaunt down memory lane. I first realized that the USA was going to follow the general trajectory of the USSR back in 1995. I also immediately realized that the USSR was rather well prepared for collapse whereas the USA was about to be blindsided by it, and so, as a public service, I thou

  What is John Brennan So Worried About? Given the uncertainties of Donald Trump’s actions as he faces a White House exit, the possible declassification of certain documents has the former CIA director sweating. By Ray McGovern F ormer CIA Director John Brennan is apparently so worried that Donald Trump might release certain classified intelligence that he suggested this week that Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet remove Trump via the 25th amendment. Brennan appeared this week on both CNN and MSNBC to spread alarm about what Trump might do as he continues to contest the election results and appoints new people at Defense, NSA (and possibly CIA) who may do his bidding.  Brennan  warned  on CNN that it was “very, very worrisome” that Trump “is just very unpredictable now … like a cornered cat — tiger. And he’s going to lash out.” Brennan  told  MSNBC he was worried that Trump has called for the “wholesale declassification of intelligence in order to further his own political inte

  The Deep State vs The Deep Country I need to begin with the obvious: in spite of all the deep state, propaganda and “deep empire” (transnational) resources being used to declare that “Biden” (i.e. Harris) has won, as of right now nobody knows who got most votes and where. I would even suggest that we will never really find out who won, because who won depends on a large number of local laws and regulations and because it will probably never be possible to separate the fake votes from the legal ones. Finally, neither side will ever gracefully admit to having lost the contest. So now the country will enter a profound crisis. That is the bad news. But there is also very good news. First, it has now become clear to the entire planet that the US “democracy” is anything but: the USA is an  oligarchic plutocracy , plagued with a myriad of antiquated laws and corrupt to the bone. The special “trick” of this US oligarchic plutocracy is that is masquerades as an ochlocracy: there is *pretend*

  First Comes A Rolling Civil War PEPE ESCOBAR Biden is on a double precipice of the worst-ever economic depression coupled with imminent explosions of social rage... The massive psyops is ongoing.  Everyone familiar with the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) knew how this would imperatively play out. I chose to frame it as a think tank gaming exercise in my  Banana Follies  column. This is a live exercise. Yet no one knows exactly how it will end. US intel is very much aware of well-documented instances of election fraud.  Among them:  NSA software  that infiltrates any network, as previously  detailed  by Edward Snowden, and capable of altering vote counts; the Hammer supercomputer and its  Scorecard app  that hacks computers at the transfer points of state election computer systems and outside third party election data vaults; the  Dominion software system , known to have serious security issues since 2000, but still used in 30 states, including every swing state; those by now famo
