Chess, Not Checkers

June 25, 2020 by Ara Leave a Comment

2020 has been interesting. First, a global pandemic that was initially said to wipe out 1-2 million Americans. And then, racial turmoil with demands to disband police departments reverberating throughout the union. Let’s first cast the lens on the novel Coronavirus, so that we may better connect the dots as to what might be transpiring before our eyes.

I first heard of Covid-19 this past December while on vacation in the Florida panhandle. Reports were coming out of China, and we all know how murky and problematic that can be. China isn’t exactly a beacon of free press. At the time, protests were a mainstay in Hong Kong. Tens of thousands of Chinese were demanding reforms to their oppressive Communist regime. Growing support throughout the International community blossomed, and suddenly, change seemed tenable. Then, voila, a novel virus takes foot in Wuhan, China, a city about the size of London located in central China. The drowning out of the Hong Kong protests followed suit.

While in the Sunshine State, I did my best to keep up with what was happening on the other side of the world. To be clear, I’ve been counting down the days as to when, not if, a war with China will commence. A month went by, we ushered in a new decade, and then the virus began to ravage Italy and Spain. Still on the other side of the pond at that point, but I was privy to the fact that the U.S.A. would have its own encounter with an invisible virus allegedly raging a war on humanity. I use the word alleged for one simple reason: if I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, or know somebody who has contracted it, I won’t take the word of governments or media outlets at face value.

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT

Crazy is believing in those who have lied time and again. The 2000s was a decade in which our government and the media fabricated story after story of oil-producing countries out to decimate Americans. Factor in the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers whose lives were shattered by warmongering profiteers, and well, my confidence in Big Brother and news outlets has never been the same.

March 2020 rolled around. I was back to my normal day-to-day life. Sometime in the evening on the 11th, my Twitter feed was bombarded by news of the NBA postponing their season until further notice due to COVID-19. Soon afterward, the NHL did the same, and some ridiculous story of Tom Hanks contracting the Coronavirus while in Australia hit the airwaves. With the floodgates open, America was under siege.

More celebrities suddenly contracted the virus. My spidey senses were tingling. They reached an all-time high when a barrage of videos of Healthcare Practitioners doing childish TikTok dance numbers while on duty hit the web. A virus was decimating human beings, hospitals were ill-equipped and flooded with sick patients, and yet healthcare workers somehow found the time to do their best Broadway musical impressions? Interesting.

Soon afterward, America came to a screeching halt. Instructions to stay home followed, and a new vernacular was adopted without the bat of an eyelash. Words like practise self-distancing, pandemic, quarantine, sprung up everywhere. Masks were a necessity. We were told to inform authorities if we witnessed neighbors not complying with new mandates. To top things off, our aging parents were left to fend for themselves.

BACKSTORY

I adapted, not because I wanted to, but because it was the only way to make it through life. For the record, I wasn’t always a skeptic. I was educated at a Big Ten University, and throughout my twenties and early thirties, one could pigeonhole me as a Liberal without resistance on my end. However, a funny thing has happened in this country over the last fifteen years. Thanks to social media, individuals rally behind movements not out of internal meaning, or because it’s the right thing to do. There’s a selfish motive for automating these persons. They live by how many ‘likes’ they can garner from a tweet, an Instagram photo, or a Facebook rant.

In late April, sources working at hospitals leaked that the COVID-19 statistics were not to be trusted. Fatalities due to other reasons were being lumped into the Coronavirus category to keep numbers inflated and citizens terrified. Initially, it was dismissed as alt-right rhetoric, but with each passing week, more whistleblowers stepped forward with credible accounts as to the pandemic being questionable at best. What to do, profiteers? Simple. Stoke the fires of race, loot, pillage the country, and take the spotlight off of Corona.

Why is social distancing a necessity to stave off imminent death one week, but not an issue the next when tens of thousands of protestors gather in cities like Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Philadelphia?  Politicians, big tech, and celebrities all have an agenda. They work to inundate us with whatever the Elite desire.

CHAOS INCOMING

The madness has only just begun. Expect a new narrative once the BLM movement stalls. My money’s on the gradual disbandment of our police force. Humans will be painted as flawed organisms. Their solution; AI.

Any human with a shred of objectivity can see where the endgame is; civil war. Hence, do not underestimate the necessity of owning a firearm. With the amount of unrest within our borders, life-threatening scenarios could be at your doorstep sooner than you think.
