To be fair, she was trying to get as many people infected as possible.

It's a very narrow platform. A fence, if you will.

Censorship of the Pulse nightclub shooting brought me to TD. Then actually listened to one of Trump's speeches, and immediately jumped on the train.

The next step I'd like to see is "You push this crap on your campus, the Fed doesn't back student loans for your institution"

Oh hell yes

"The media, who I have briefed on the material, have been released from any/all prior confidences. Additionally, I have released the name of the primary investigator (deep behind the Durham probe) to the same media. If those media voices do nothing, I will share who they are… until then, I grant them benefit of courage and patriotism."

I am hopeful. He's all about sunlight being the best disinfectant, so hopefully some critical media attention will spur a little action. The BS that showed up on TD earlier about Durham being "the least political person I know" was probably just priming for us all to accept a huge nothingburger. But if the full puzzle has already been put together, Durham looks like an incompetent idiot if his investigation has no findings of wrongdoing.

I wonder if the scammers played Eve. ISK doubling is the oldest trick in the book!

No doubt this has been authorized. Doesn't take courage to do something you're allowed to do.

How about this:

  • Black square social media virtue signalling so everyone can show how not-racist they are. Full of smug satisfaction that they've announced they are not-racist, they incorporate this even more strongly into their identity.

  • Media goes nuts showing images and videos of the rioting. People misbehaving. Smug not-racists can't help but notice all of the black people in these media clips. This consciously or subconsciously challenges their newly reinforced not-racist identity. Now there is an internal conflict, and they must overcompensate on external displays of not-racist in order to quell the internal conflict.

I posit this is intentional emotional abuse.

This is a textbook case for sowing division, though. Enough shades of gray for the emotional people to fully commit to, as you say, deifying a criminal.

I'm fairly certain elements within the media would not have blown this story up if he was a clear cut shithead. Likewise, if he was a good guy with a spotless record. There's not enough room for whipping people into a frenzy when the situation is too black and white.

It's the same old agitprop sold to the same old emotionally incontinent retards.

Maybe the respiratory impact is secondary, and it's primarily a mind virus. Really seems to bringing out the totalitarianism in the general population.

Lol they wouldn't be able to handle the crisis any better. Sure the economy took a huge hit, but it's very clearly China's fault, and I believe people are optimistic about a huge rebound.

Just because the economy is getting wrecked, doesn't automatically mean people will vote for the opposition party.
