Fear

My thoughts on fear during the Covid-19 plannedemic

I felt compelled to brace the subject of fear as it's one of the questions on my questions website, where I ask, "which is more powerful, love or fear"

Covid-19 has probably affected more people from a psychological point of view around the world than any other previous event including the two World Wars. When I was young, I remember going on a trip to Italy with my mother. As we arrived at her friend's house, I had an overwhelming fear that our airplane was going to crash on our return journey. That whole week was pretty miserable as I kept thinking about our impending deaths. I was reminded of that holiday as I write this article, remembering a time when fear was as real as the device you are reading this article on.

Fear has a way of creeping up on us and paralysing us, often times its effects are silently permanent which could be the reality for many during these lockdown times. Just like a herd of sheep with a wolf nearby, we have been whipped up into a state of panic and instinctively have come together. Separation from the herd would make us easy prey, therefore nobody questions the official virus narrative from their government and the media, for we don’t want to stand out from the herd.

Lest we forget, we were lied to regarding The Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) prior to invading Iraq, of Assad’s use of chemical weapons in Syria and a whole three years of lies concerning RussiaGate. A more pertinent lie recently used to spread even more fear, was using The‌ Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. Not many know that it wasn’t a flu at all, but an easily treatable chest infection with one of the main causes of death being the use of aspirin to “treat” patients…..oh and Spain had nothing to do with it, the country was used to divert attention from other countries.

I was recently reminded of government lies after watching the film “Official Secrets”. The film is based on the life of whistle-blower Katharine Gun and her true story exposing the lies of the Gulf War. Unfortunately at that time, I was asleep and therefore agreed with the war criminals Tony Blair and George Bush. I am now however, very much awake and can clearly see through the propaganda we have all been exposed to recently.

Just as we have been brainwashed in the past with the use of certain words, such as "weapons of mass destruction", "the war on terror", "the war on drugs" etc. We are again having a selection of words repeated over and over again in the media. Some call this propaganda others call it social programming; whatever it's called, more and more people are suspicious of what they have, and are being told.

The new narrative or vocabulary uses the following words: "the new normal", "stay home", "social distancing", "self isolation"......what do they all mean? Firstly a loss of thinking for yourself, but more importantly, a loss of liberty. Now that most countries have introduced limitations on our freedoms, it will be much easier to do this again in the future. Most have now lived through "the new normal" and we casually use these new words in everyday conversation.

Trust in mainstream and social media is quickly eroding as the control of what we see and read about Covid-19, has become very apparent. In Europe, trust in the media is unsurprisingly, minus 9%.....yes in negative territory! This was one of the reasons I decided to carry on travelling despite the UK Government recommending the return of everyone. I instinctively felt that something was wrong. So while everyone else in the two hostels I stayed at were panicking and making plans to return to their respective countries, I was quite relaxed. Off course, we all have different individual situations, whether married with children, divorced, single or have elderly parents. Therefore, the fear of losing a child or parent is different to taking care of oneself, and so I fully respected everyone’s choice. I was however surprised, that free thinking backpackers were towing the line so easily.

Why did I use the word 'plannedemic' in the title…..because I believe it was a planned event. I no longer believe in coincidences that have such a global reach and consequences.

‌‌In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.President Franklin D. Roosevelt

There is evidence that Covid-19 has not naturally-evolved as it contains elements that could only have been placed into it by design in a laboratory. It is also similar to SARS, which some experts claim is an engineered bioweapon. I further believe the virus is a cover for a global economic collapse that has been brewing since 2008 which I covered in another article. On a more sinister note, governments around the world, with Denmark being one of the first and the UK considering it; are looking to introduce mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations, digital tracking via a smartphone app and ultimately via a digital smart body tattoo for everyone. Head over to my article on vaccinations to see my views on the subject.

My Fears

Prior to embarking on my round the world trip, I had my own fears. We are least fearful when in familiar territory, as I travel I'm always in an unfamiliar land which is now my norm.

How I deal with this is to understand that some basics apply everywhere. There will always be a local bus, taxi, Wi-Fi at a coffee shop.....and ultimately other humans willing to help a stranger in need.

For a number of years, I no longer live my life in fear. Now, I’m not about to climb Mount Everest or cross a canyon on a tightrope, so let’s be realistic; but what has helped apart from travelling is that I read a heck of a lot and now see how the world really works.

My Fears:

• Being a bad writer — I'm sure that I am, but does it really matter and with time I may improve
• Running out of money — I saved money which gives me peace of mind when things turn sideways
• Jumping off a 40ft high cliff edge — I didn’t think and just jumped, it was scary, but by the time it was over in 2-3 seconds, I felt exhilarated
• Fear of people not talking to me or being welcome in hostels as I'm double the age of most backpackers — it was a false fear
• Fear of having my belongings stolen — backpackers are a nice bunch of people
• Fear my weight would rise as I would be always eating out in restaurants — I found balance and listen to my body rather than eat 3 meals a day as we have been programmed to do
• Fear of high blood pressure, heart attack, cancer — I’m now informed with alternative treatments
• Fear of ‌food poisoning — it was a false fear, one and half years of eating other people’s food and in particular, street food has resulted in zero incidences
• Fear of ‌having a bad meal — I eat out every day, it's going to happen sometime.....it's just a meal
• Fear of ‌rocking the boat — sometimes the risk is worth taking, because the cost of remaining silent is too high...

‌‌First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

What is Fear?

Fear is the simplest and most basic of human emotions. Our bodies are naturally wired to protect us from harm, whether real or imagined. Chemical reactions occur when we perceive danger which is then translated into a physical reaction. For example, we would run away from a wild tiger if confronted.

Fear affects people differently. A small proportion will laugh fears away, many will worry but some will go through different levels — starting with worry, moving onto anxiety with some going onto dread and panic.

Common fears include a fear of public speaking, a fear of heights, a fear of rejection or a fear of flying which affects far fewer people.

Covid-19 fears seem to be more focused. Starting with a fear of starvation as we saw queues at markets. The fear of death was next as there is no cure, fear of missing family & friends, fear of running out of money, fear of isolation and a fear of not coping, to name but a few.

Many of these seem to be well-founded, for we have been exposed to wall-to-wall fear by the televised news. However, when we think rationally, we all know that good and happy news doesn't sell newspapers and that governments lie to us.....it seems we have forgotten this.

Clearly fear is extremely powerful as over 70% in the UK prefer not to go back to work as a recent survey found out.

However, it’s important to remember, fear is meant to be temporary to stave off a mortal threat, but we have been on a slow intravenous drip feed of fear for months. It’s probably fair to say that fear during this pandemic spread among populations around the world faster than the virus itself.

What Fear Does to Us

• It makes you a victim
• It steals your power to make decisions
• It gives power to others
• It steals your future

How to Overcome Fears

• Understand that we all have doubts and fears and that this is perfectly natural.
• Don't ignore your fear, as it will forever knock on your door, instead move towards it and confront it.
• Allow any emotions that fear brings, to pass through you, don’t block or deny their existence and importantly, don’t hold onto them.
• Begin by doing one scary thing every week starting with small fears. Maybe striking up a conversation, eating different foods, giving a small talk, taking a different route to work, reading alternative books, listening to new music genres...etc. Within a few months, change will seem less scary. Soon, your fears lose their control over you, within a year, you may well be a different person.

How to Overcome Covid-19 Fears

• Understand that the news is not your friend, stop listening to it.
• You have a choice how you react to your thoughts and feelings, make them positive for they will have a significant influence over your health.
• The virus is not a threat to the vast majority of people. Having said this, a Facebook friend recently clarified, that as the rest of the world uses the word "just" to describe those in danger, for example "It's just the over 70s with pre-existing conditions".....that "just" happens to be her world.
• You have more chance of dying from an accident (1 in 20), a fall (1 in 83), a fire (1 in 640) or drowning (1 in 821) than from Covid-19 in the UK. There are 66.5 million people living in the UK and so far 37,000 deaths = (1 in 1,800)…..we never worry about those other possible situations which are far more likely to occur.
• Have we forgotten that it’s our responsibility to stay healthy and not our government, keep ownership of your sovereign self.
• Get healthy, that's the secret to staving off future viruses as a strong immune system is the key.
• Exposure to germs throughout time has been the mechanism to our survival. Viruses have always been allowed to run their course with our body's immune system taking care of them.
• The more stress you have, the weaker your immune system which helps a virus to replicate.
• Our bodies are more resilient than we think and have survived countless threats.
• By believing that you have a strong immune system, you strengthen it, your body responds to what you tell it.
• Sunshine gives us natural high vitamin D levels which is of great importance in strengthening our immune system.

Covid-19 Facts

As time has progressed so has our knowledge with statistics and data giving us a clearer picture of this pandemic, ‌new data shows:

• Herd immunity is the only path currently available with the majority of the population getting the virus and developing immunity, while protecting the vulnerable.
• Vaccines in general give short-lived antibody production compared to lifelong immunity resulting from a natural infection.
• NHS data shows that 95% of the people who died had serious underlying health issues.
• The latest data from Sweden shows that between 98-99% of people had a very mild infection or didn’t even realize they were infected at all. Sweden didn't close its borders, schools, restaurants, or businesses, or mandated the wearing of masks.
• In most countries, the risk of dying from Covid-19 seems to be slightly more than from the flu.
• New York City one of the epicentres of the virus, had an infection rate of 25%. However, 99.98% of those under 45 survived, which is comparable to people dying from usual accidents.
• Exaggerated death rates by nearly all countries, where anyone that died was labelled as Covid-19 without tests or an autopsy.
• 76% of Covid-19 patients between 18-65 years of age that went on ventilators died, 97% of Covid-19 patients aged 65+ that went on ventilators died.
• Deaths attributed to the flu have been between 1,692 and 28,330 per winter season in England between 2014/15 to 2018/19. The average during this time was 17,000 deaths annually.
• The President of Tanzania sent the WHO samples of a goat, a papaya and a quail for testing….they all tested positive for Covid-19.
• Recent evidence suggests Covid-19 patients with high vitamin D levels (from sunshine) are more likely to survive.
• Walking around outside in the sunlight and fresh air is antiseptic and protects against transmission of the virus.
• If infected, wearing a mask amplifies and drives the infection back inside yourself, on the other hand, it stops others getting it.
• A nursing home doctor treated his patients with hydroxychloroquine in a last-ditch effort to save them. Unlike most other care homes with horrific death rates, his patients got well.
• Mainstream and Social Media are deleting and surpressing all information which presents a different point of view from the official narrative....an example is Dr Judy Mikovit's "Plandemic" film.
• There is a statistical correlation between Western European Countries that vaccinated their elderly and had high death rates and Eastern European Countries with a low vaccination rate among their elderly and a low death rate.
• Worldwide around 650,000 people die of respiratory diseases linked to seasonal influenza each year. ‌Covid-19 deaths are predicted to be similar.
• Vaccines unlike drugs do not legally need to be tested and the companies producing them have immunity from prosecution….there are zero consequences if they maim or kill you.
• Pharmaceutical company “medicines” are the third largest killer after heart disease and cancer.
• For three decades teams across the world have tried to create a coronavirus vaccine. The difficulty is coronavirus is super virulent and it creates different mutations. When you vaccinate against one strain, it doesn’t protect you against the others.
• A study at Flinders University, discovered that Covid-19 is optimized to attach to human cells.
• Another study confirms this virus has 3 separate diseases combined into it and therefore cannot be natural.

Coincidences?

• Bill Gates has had interviews across nearly all mainstream media channels as an "expert" on healthcare.
• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded/donated huge amounts: US$4,300m: World Health Organization (WHO), US$3,000m: Gavi, US$870m John Hopkins University, US$243m Oxford University, US$155m CDC, US$53m BBC and NIH at a mere US$18 million where Dr Anthony Fauci is the director.
• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated US$280 million to Imperial College in London which was responsible for the computer analysis model adopted by the WHO.
• Neil Ferguson, a professor at Imperial College, in 2005 claimed that up to 200 million people would die by bird-flu or H5N1….78 deaths occurred. In 2009, he advised the government that swine flu or H1N1 would probably kill 65,000 people in the UK….457 deaths occurred. In 2020, he advised the government that half a million in the UK and 2.2 million in the US would probably die of Covid–19.
• The WHO in 2009 declared the H1N1 influenza pandemic, billions was spent on expensive vaccines; it turned out the pandemic was indistinguishable from seasonal flu. One of the pharmaceutical companies made a fortune, it coincidently made a big contribution to the WHO that year.
• Bill Gates in a 2010 TED Talk said, that if we do a really good job with vaccines, health care and abortions we can reduce the global population by 10 to 15%.
• “Event 201” in Oct 2019 was an exercise focusing on a “severe pandemic”.....one of the participants was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
• Sara Cunial, a member of the Italian Parliament recently gave a speech calling to defy any plans for compulsory vaccination against Covid-19 and for the arrest of Bill Gates.
• Mass multiple vaccinations using a powerful flu vaccine were carried out in Northern Italy just before the Covid-19 outbreak.
• The people calling for global mandatory vaccinations and digital human body tagging have huge investments in the companies lined up to supply these products.
• A European patent for a Covid-19 vaccine was granted in November 2019.
• A whole section of The Guardian newspaper is sponsored by an institution looking to profit hugely from the introduction of a vaccine.
• Matt Hancock, The British health secretary recently said that he hopes everybody would have the vaccine and did not rule out making it mandatory for every UK citizen.
• US hospitals putting patients on ventilators which have proved disastrous, were reimbursed $13,000 for pneumonia patients compared to $40,000 for Covid-19 patients put on ventilators
• The success of vitamin C in the treatment of Covid-19 has been subjected to disinformation by mainstream and social media.
• Hydroxychlorquine has safely been used for decades to treat malaria and has also been subjected to disinformation by mainstream and social media.
• Hydroxychlorquine is a cheap, out of patent generic drug.
• A petition to investigate the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for crimes against humanity has been signed by over 500,000 people.

Covid-19 Questions

• Why have some countries stopped collecting data for the 2019-20 flu season?
• Where have all the usual deaths every country experiences every year from pneumonia, flu etc. disappeared to?
• Why are doctors pressured to mark most deaths as Covid-19 without tests or an autopsy and when a few brave doctors speak out about their concerns, why are they censored?
• Why were we not informed that natural sunlight destroys bacteria and viruses?
• Why have off-patent generic effective drugs that cost pennies been discredited and destroyed by mainstream and social media?
• Why are expensive, unproven and untested future drugs being promoted?
• Why were more than 100,000 passengers per week arriving at UK airports with little or no health checks while everyone was under lockdown/house arrest?
• Should we trust organisations that made nearly 500,000 children permanently parallelized in India?
• Where are all the estimated deaths and overcrowded hospitals from countries nearest to China, particularly Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia?
• How did countries such as Sweden and others that did not lockdown, have similar statistics to countries that did?
• Why are nearly all countries, apart from a few exceptions, aiming to develop a vaccine rather than achieve herd immunity and isolate and care for the most venerable?
• How many people have seriously been affected by depression, anxiety, stress, alcoholism or even assault as a result of being isolated?
• How many people have died as a result of suicide, heart attacks or not being able to have life saving operations?
• Why do those in power want us to think our immune system is not important to preventing/surviving this and in fact any virus?

Positives from the Situation

Although there is a lot of negativity in the world due to the virus, we can take home some positives. Many are waking up and taking responsibility for themselves and their lives rather than willfully handing it over to their government. The waking up importantly means many are seeing the reality of what is happening to this world on multiple fronts.

• For the first time in our lifetimes we have been given permission to stay home.....make the best of this time and spend ‌real time with family.
• Time to appreciate the previous freedoms we had.
• More time to pursue hobbies and education.
• Learning how to handle emotions during lockdown.
• Saving money by not going out and learning to cook new recipes.
• Re-evaluating our lives....is it all about our jobs?
