Will monkeypox be the next big pandemic scare? So far it has received all the WHO, MSM, leftist, and bureaucratic attention required to maximize fear. Even Biden told us that “everyone should be concerned.” Then, in typical response form given for all the problems his administration has created in the past 18 months, he said, “We’re working on it hard to figure out what we do . . .” Later, Biden did play down the monkeypox threat, but by then the fear level had ramped up. Even in Florida some people are back to wearing worthless masks!¹

Belgium, after recording three monkeypox cases, became the first country to introduce a mandatory, 21-day quarantine for those infected with the virus. Quarantines of infected people are a standard practice for diseases similar to monkeypox. So far, Belgium’s cases are being linked to a local “fetish” festival. (A fetish festival is a celebration of alternative lifestyles including men having sex with men.)²

Rather than write a long report on monkeypox, I’ve put together a bullet point list that I gleaned from Dr. Robert W Malone’s in-depth report titled “Monkeypox: Truth Versus Fearporn.”^{3 4 5 6 7}

●    The monkeypox virus, which originates in various regions of Africa, is related to smallpox and other poxes such as cowpox, horsepox, and camelpox. But unlike smallpox it’s not a major health threat to humans.
●    It was first identified in 1958 in colonies of monkeys, and the first human case of the virus was identified in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
●    Monkeypox involves influenza-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, chills and swollen lymph nodes. A rash on the palm of the hand is often observed.
●    The disease may persist for a month or so, and in the latter stages of the disease, may involve small lesions which develop a crust.
●    It is only spread by person to person contact between an uninfected individual and someone who is infected and showing symptoms of the disease.
●    Most of the current cases in the west are among men who have sex with men.
●    Monkeypox is a double stranded DNA virus, which means it mutates much slower than RNA viruses do. Over time, stable DNA virus are unlikely to escape naturally acquired or vaccine induced immunity.
●    Monkeypox is not very infectious in humans.
●    The spread of this virus can be readily stopped by simple, inexpensive classical public health measures. The idea of wearing masks for prevention is total foolishness.
●    There are vaccines for people 18 years of age and older that protect against smallpox and monkeypox.
●    The U.S. Strategic National Stockpile already holds supplies of these vaccines.
●    Monkeypox has a low mortality rate.

Dr. Malone is far more concerned about a massive power grab by the UN World Health Organization (with Bill Gates in the background), the World Economic Forum, and the Biden administration than he is about the actual impact of the monkeypox virus. That’s a good indication of where our attention should also be focused.⁸

A recent article in The Epoch Times (TET) had this to say: “If you’re wondering whether giving such powers to a U.N. agency that couldn’t demonstrate its independence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) could fly in the face of U.S. law, it seems that President Joe Biden has the answer. Not only is the Biden administration allowing this shift in power to the WHO, but it’s also helping advance it.”

The TET continued, “Whether or not monkeypox poses a large threat to public health, it presents a serious threat to public freedom. The virus could act as a Trojan horse as it provides all the justifications to grant the WHO a dictator’s dream of global power, and give the CDC a system of surveillance beyond anything Orwell could have conceived.” Then TET underscored its concerns for freedom by stating, “In the backdrop of the monkeypox scare, the world is preparing to hand the keys to the kingdom to the WHO. And with the strange track of ‘germ games’ and overblown numbers by the so-called experts pulling the strings, the groundwork for this public takeover has already been laid.”⁹

Coincidentally the Davos crowd has been meeting this week and most of the speakers have alarmed those of us who believe in personal freedom. I only heard about one speaker that I thought made some sense: It was veteran US statesman Henry Kissinger who commented extensively about the Russian-Ukraine conflict. In Kissinger’s view, “Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself.”^{10 11}

Kissinger even thinks that Ukraine should not refuse to give away some of its eastern border states neighboring Russia and that being neutral is a far better long-term solution than pursuing a war. His feeling is that in this modern age, where technology has advanced weaponry to levels of destructiveness that can extend far beyond the battlefield, diplomatic negotiations are critically important.

Our current government is not managing affairs in the best interests of the American people. Rather than pushing Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia before the conflict started, our government waited until the conflict started and is now providing massive funding for a proxy war with Russia. Our country’s level of funding for Ukraine exceeds 50% of its GNP. That’s in spite of the fact that Ukraine is known for being a very corrupt country that launders money into the hands of corrupt politicians and, quite possibly, even groups like the World Economic Forum. Kissinger views the current “strategic” approach as being reckless rather than wise.

The radical leftists will be in charge of the US government for another seven months. They’ve made many changes that have ramped up central government control of industry and the people. In the process they’ve also severely damaged the social/moral fabric of the nation and business prospects generally. But more alarmingly, the current administration is working closely with the oligarchs and dictators who are behind the Great Reset whose objectives include dismantling our Constitution and Bill of Rights!

As Dr. Malone says, “The federal government has been intentionally infiltrated by Globalists trained by the World Economic Forum. Make no mistake. The elites and transnational corporations have and continue to undermine our institutions and our very Constitution. President Trump has taught us that we can’t pull our punches, we must act aggressively and give no quarter. That means utilizing every tool available; these tools include using the judicial branch (the courts), working to elect and educate legislators and of course, educating and mobilizing the populace.”¹²

Making change back toward less Federal domination of our country with today’s established bureaucracy will not be easy. It will take a much greater effort than just electing a new president. It will also involve a radical turnover of legislators, a judiciary that has a greater commitment to the Constitution, deep turnover in the bureaucracy that runs our government, and a commitment by the oligarchs to support freedom and put America first rather than focus solely on their own selfish interests.

To your health.
