C-theory? The trifecta is the interjection of lack of control of destabilizing Syria, tariffs on China's products to the USofA, and Brexit's ultimate passage and acceptance. The propaganda (mainstream media) machine needed more viewers... a "lockdown" of viewership and a lockdown of "fear" (of whatever).

Enter stage left... the most catastrophic virus known to humankind (<-- mankind save for Trudeau)... and a DISTRACTION (VERY soon after the impeachment of the POTUS fizzled). Is the stranglehold's loosening the reason for the ensemble of media (and government) exaggerations? The thing is for me is that at nearly 64yo I have been around the blocks many times. But I have to admit that when talking with many of the offspring of the illegal Mexican immigrants that the majority do not understand a spit or lick of any of it.

So all of this propaganda is targeted at a whole 'nother group of fools. Who are the fools... and will they be fooled? Well, the grocery store situations have proved who are the fools, and they are the psuedo-educated lot of folk (not being gender specific here... I'm not raping you).

That being that, at least here in the Leftist State of Mexifornia so very many people are just not abiding by the suggestions and going out and about their daily business... and it was led by the old farts... haha. I recall that after the great purge (the weekend of mass hording) that it was mostly all seniors who where happy to go out without masks or gloves and get on with life and living. Did all of us old farts know something via common sense that the others were not so aware of?

The rest of the story in California, despite what the Mayors of cities had to say and claim, let most businesses get on with producing (for socialism is so dependent on money... hence tax dollars). I have not lost a single day or work, and I have not missed a single meal at a fast food shop... or any grocery shopping (so there is still no reason to massively stock up on stuff.

So who are “they” trying to scare? In part I think it is themselves for they know that they are idiots, but got elected anyway. So as jesters they clown around all the while, at least where I am residing, nobody who is still working gives a hoot what “they” say save for the entertainment value... and I know that for I talk others as they talk to me, all outside of the mainstream medias.
