As of today (May 20, 2020), the global death count from the Wuhan flu is 325,218. That works out to 0.0042% of the population of the earth. (7.8 billion.)
The US death count is 93,537. That works out to 0.028% of the population of the U.S. (331 million)
The U.S. death count percentage is 6.7 times higher than the global death count percentage.
Why does the U.S., with only 4.2% of the world population account for *** 28% *** of all the deaths reported from Wuhan flu?
The Covid-19 Censorship Hole
May 20, 2020, 03:30
As part of BS Detective Services, I have decided to create this page and populate it with links or embedded videos likely to be or to have been censored by YouTube and other pro-left, pro-statist, anti free speech platforms.
The reason I have decided to start this project is that it is too easy for me to lose track of all of the items that the government or corporate media propaganda organizations have decided to block public access to. This project is not intended to be exhaustive but it is intended to give the viewer a broad sense of the extent of the degree to which biased information platforms over-ride the public's right to decide upon whether certain news or opinions are worthy of their consideration.
For some of the verboten material, I shall add links to other sites, such as BitChute, where I have been able to find the prohibited materials.
I also invite anyone who would like me to add items to this list to please send me your examples. You can reach me, for now, via my Facebook page.
Please note: BS Detective Services does not necessarily agree with any or all of the specific content that has been deleted. I do, however, support the right of the creators to say what they wish to say.
Note also, just because something has been censored by YouTube, or the CBC, etc., does not necessarily mean that it's valid or true.
On the other hand, if you find yourself pressed for time, or are just too lazy to dig for the truth, and are satisfied with a mere ball-park level of comprehension of what is really going on in the world, if the information you are being fed is coming from the mouth of a politician, or from your television, car radio, or legacy newspaper, you can assume the opposite to be the truth and be right more than half the time.
An example of when this latter technique worked well for me occurred just prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Having missed the boat on the history and complexities of Middle East politics, I was able to tell, simply by noticing the frequency and volume of corporate media reports about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that it was probably bullshit and that it was merely a propaganda effort aimed at greasing the public up for the acceptance of a military invasion.

In the townhouse complex I live in, you wouldn't even know there is a GOVINC-19 crisis happening, other than the odd trick-or-treater strolling by.
On warmer, sunny days, I can open the windows to hear the kids playing together outside. It's comforting. It reminds me of the "old normal."
Over the years, as I learned a bit more about the two great world wars that were fought in the first half of the twentieth century, I felt a bit betrayed by the public school BS we were fed about them being fought to keep us free. (Of course, even back then I was the gadfly who would put up his hand and demand that the teacher reconcile this precious freedom with compulsory public education. As I grew older and wiser, I realized this was not a dumb question at all.)
The young "freedom fighters" who stormed the beaches on D-Day came home to vote for free stuff from GOVINC.
It's reassuring to see that in the twenty-first century, finally, some people are storming the beaches for freedom.
When I was very young, in the late 50s, early 60s, I was not aware of the welfare system in Canada, mainly because there wasn't much of one at the time. If you didn't work, you didn't eat. In the world I grew up in, adults had jobs and people lived in families.
My father always had a job. All of our family's friends had jobs. It was the normal, natural order of things.
By the time the late 60s, early 70s rolled around, the welfare state had already started to mushroom and many people of my generation adapted quickly to the idea that employment was optional and that other people would be forced to provide them with food, housing, and other amenities if they found the expenditure of effort too high a price to pay for the stuff they wanted. Those who found welfare dependency unpalatable often opted for government jobs, instead. Even marriage became optional for those who had children to provide for.
I opted to straddle both worlds by finding employment as a taxi driver, which allowed me to pay for the stuff I wanted without much expenditure of effort.
Side note: I let capital do the work. Driving a person 1 km. using a machine was a lot easier than carrying that same person on my back. I was "exploiting" capital. I was living "off the backs" of General Motors and Ford, so to speak, by paying them a mere pittance in exchange for the lifestyle they gave me.
For anyone with eyes to see, current events ought to make the failure of welfare statism starkly clear. For everyone else, keep on voting for the Liberals or their clones.
This is what government education looks like. Get 'em young, and the state will own them for life. Judging by the snap-to-attention behavior of most western adults over the last two months, the Communist Chinese education model has already been in play for a long time in the West.
Given that children are barely affected by the Wuhan flu, and tend not to pass it on to others, this exercise in human regimentation can only be seen as a spectacularly successful example of the true objective of the grooming of the defenseless for integration into socialist ant-hill adult life.
That anyone would willingly expose their own children to this type of savagery is chilling.
Remember when Obama said he wanted to create a civilian army?
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
At the time, I thought he was talking about some kind of para-military scheme. It wasn't until I saw the chilling China clip that I realized that Obama already had his civilian national security force. Pupils.
THE RISE OF THE SNITCH STATE
The difference is a difference of degree, not principle.
The difference is a difference of degree, not principle.
Like many (most?) of you, I found myself in the middle of tense debates with family, life-long friends, and even with random strangers in the Soviet-style store line-ups, grocery aisles, and checkouts from the beginning of the COVID-19 response disaster.
While standing in line at Bulk Barn one afternoon in early 2020, I surprised myself when I made a short speech to everyone present, "If this all turns out to be a massive over-reaction, governments will fall." While replaying that scene in my mind on my way home, I realized I was probably dead wrong. Those chiefly responsible for the carnage, starting with the Junk News media, then the rest would NEVER ADMIT their criminal negligence. It would be denied, spun, or memory-holed.
Despite all of the efforts of the major mental content providers dominating news and information distribution to bamboozle the public, less and less people are buying the bullshit.
Update: July 26, 2022
One of the reasons I adopted libertarianism back in the 1970s was something I had read in the literature. It basically stated,
When politicians act to solve a given problem, they almost always end up making the problem worse.
Having had almost a half a century now to compare that statement with my observations, I am more confident than ever of its truth. Furthermore, I have observed that the problems caused by the first round of government interventions almost always serve as justification for further, and equally destructive interventions. And so on. And so on.
This is why I was able to spot the disaster unfolding in the COVID-19 response from the beginning. With the benefit of a further two years of observation, it ought to be obvious to anyone not restricted by a concretized brain, that the political response to COVID-19 has been a gigantic disaster.
Update: March 9, 2021
The Junk News media are finally starting to report on all of damage that has been done to people's lives by their own panic mongering.
As expected, they are doing their best to cover up their own culpbility for this disaster. Instead of blaming the collateral damage on the Chinese Communist style lockdown response adopted by most politicians, fuelled by their own stoking of the fear, they blame the damage on "the pandemic." That they are able to get away with this in-your-face mendacity is a testament to the gullibility of an intellectually lazy and gullible public.

Deaths - 1,560

Collateral Damage from the Lock-Downs
This is just a preliminary summary of the damage being done by government policies to flatten the economy and test the propensity of the hoi polloi to submit to blind, unthinking obedience.
As the panic slips into the memory hole, look for the scary headlines that will be coming and note how almost all of them will be blamed on the virus, not the government.
"Pandemics, financial insecurity, stress and uncertainty have lead to increased aggression at home which was seen previously with the global financial crisis in 2009." -- <italics: mine>
WHO reports domestic violence calls are up 60%.
"Billions of people are subject to some form of stay-at-home orders across the globe, and experts say women and children are particularly vulnerable to abuse in lockdown."
Also from that article, "The UN agency for sexual and reproductive health (UNFPA) has estimated that there would be 31 million more cases of domestic violence worldwide if lockdowns continue for another six months."
According to Time,
"For people who are experiencing domestic violence, mandatory lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19 (the disease caused by the new coronavirus) have trapped them in their homes with their abusers, isolated from the people and the resources that could help them."
Also from that article, "an advocate at the National Domestic Violence Hotline wrote in the organization’s log book. “Her partner strangled her tonight. While talking to her, it sounded like she has some really serious injuries. She is scared to go to the ER due to fear around catching COVID-19.” -- <italics: mine>
It seems very likely that the typical government response in most countries, to flatten the economy, an untested "treatment" of COVID-19, will now result in a serious economic depression. With the double blow of stresses from job losses and bankruptcies, millions may now find themselves staying at home long after the virus has dissipated.
Another report of the collateral damage from government COVID-19 lockdown orders.
51 FIRE FATALITIES BETWEEN JAN. 1 AND MAY 4, A 65 PER CENT INCREASE OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD LAST YEAR
"Ontario’s fire marshal says there’s been an increase in fire deaths this year as COVID-19 measures force many people to stay home and do more home cooking.
Jon Pegg says there have been 51 fire fatalities between Jan. 1 and May 4, a 65 per cent increase over the same time period last year. He says 17 Ontarians have died in fires this past March alone."
Canadians are accidentally poisoning themselves while cleaning to prevent COVID-19
Staying Home can be Deadly.
New information suggests that by staying home, in accordance with government edicts, you have a much higher chance of requiring hospitalization due to COVID-19.
"Overall, the data of the days analyzed show most new admissions are of people who have mostly been staying home, with 66 percent of new hospitalizations being of individuals who were admitted from their own residences." -- <italics: mine>
Incentives matter. It’s not enough for voters to endorse legislation that has a nice title and promises to do something good. People need to think through the full consequences of a policy, because often it will lead to a cure worse than the disease.
I note with disdain the persistent, and dishonest, habit by reporters, politicians, and officials to describe the collateral damage as "caused by the coronavirus pandemic," when an uncluttered mind can clearly see it was caused by government's responses.
