Italy 2020 - The Preposterous Pandemic
Dr Sam Bailey and a review of what really went on in Italy. Plus, a more in depth look at Covid 19's best friend, Propaganda.
This post is to long for email, so please click through to read it online.
Introduction
Never mind mysterious pangolins and intriguing theories about lab leaks, without propaganda the ‘pandemic’ would never have materialized. Many may disagree. However, to say that propaganda is inextricably intertwined with covid would be a gross understatement. Even the most devout believers who still have not changed their minds about the ‘pandemic’ must surely recognize this by now. From the outset, and seemingly at every twist and turn, propaganda has been center stage in all things covid, and so it remains to this day, nearly four years later.
Perhaps it is for this reason that as I set out to write what was intended to be a simple re-post about what really happened in Italy in 2020, I found myself thinking a lot about the propaganda side of things there too. Did people die in Northern Italy in 2020? Yes. Were the circumstances of those deaths misrepresented and used as propaganda in a maniacal theater production intended to bounce us all into compliance with a global authoritarian experiment under comprehensively false pretences? Most definitely.
In this post, we will take another look at propaganda for more context and then explore what I refer to as the main Covid Terror Theaters, including Northern Italy, which were essential to launching the plandemic. After that, I will hand it over to Dr. Sam Bailey and the Health Freedom Defense Fund who have done an excellent job of exposing what really went down in Italy in the spring of 2020. Relevant book recommendations are included in supplemental.
Propaganda
Modern propaganda has been with us at least since World War I, when the Powers That Should Not Be (PTSNB) understood that it was needed to drum up support for what would become their “Great War” and a tragedy for virtually everyone else. This was at a time when most European nation-states were still in their relative infancy and patriotism could not therefore be so readily exploited as it is today.
Later in the war, when the American people still had little appetite for becoming entangled in what was considered to be a European problem, propaganda, aided by Allied complicity in the quasi-false flag that was the sinking of the Lusitania, was again key in manipulating an entire population to do an about-face and change its collective mind in support of something it previously did not want.
While pointless and wholly unnecessary, the Great War was, of course, desired and expressly planned by a small clique of globalist banksters (my favorite new word) who had their own agenda and played both sides to bring it about. Without them, nothing like the war that followed, or indeed any of the major wars that have followed since would have been possible. Profits, personal power, eugenics and a one world govt trajectory were their primary motives. Therefore, since its foundations were so completely fraudulent, propaganda was essential for prosecuting WWI, and propaganda’s applications as employed by governments and their controlled mass media working on behalf of those same powerful forces in the shadows have grown ever more sophisticated and effective with each passing decade since.
The UK’s Tavistock Institute was formally established in 1947, but its origins go all the way back to 1921 and the Duke of Bedford, Marquess of Tavistock, right around the formal founding of two of today’s primary nodes in the globalist New World Order network, namely the London based Royal Institute of International Affairs and the New York based Council on Foreign Relations. The Tavistock Institute’s primary mission is social engineering, which is a nice euphemism for mass mind manipulation. In its modern guise, Tavistock sits atop a vast and nebulous network of similar organizations, including most notably the Rand Corporation and the Stanford Institute in the United States.
Over the past 100 years, even just the governments of the US and UK alone, through their intelligence services, the media, and along with academia and quasi governmental organizations like Tavistock, have invested tens of billions of dollars, at least, in the study and practice of manipulating us. With global advertising spend at close to three quarters of a trillion dollars annually, there is also surely no shortage of outright mind manipulation from globalist corporations going on there as well. Indeed, this was a primary thrust of Edward Bernays’ famous book, Propaganda, in the late 1920’s.
Many of the people at the tops of these pyramids of power are psychopaths, but they are by no means dumb and even allowing for all manner of inefficiency, such money would not be spent if it were not bearing fruit for their true purposes, which are somehow never quite transparently shared with you or me.
Today, propaganda, which has long since evolved to include full-fledged psychological operations, is all-encompassing and highly weaponized by our renegade governments and their willing collaborators against We the People everywhere. None of the grand conspiracies of this century or the last could have been successfully pulled off without propaganda. Truly, none. That prospect should make all caring citizens care a lot more about propaganda and the role it plays in our politics and our daily lives, as well its implications for our collective future if it is not brought under control.
Unfortunately, propaganda is something that most of us think only works on other people. That misguided belief is in no small part what makes propaganda so effective, making it child’s play for Power to divide and control us all. Today’s propaganda is too sophisticated, multifaceted, and ubiquitous to defeat by pretending it does not exist in a serious way or that any of us is impervious to its effects. Recognizing the reality of propaganda’s existence in our lives, studying its history and methods, and disengaging from it wherever possible, while watching it work from a safe distance are the best and only ways I know of diluting propaganda’s power.
With respect to the covid conspiracy, here below is another excerpt from the truly excellent documentary The Big Reset Movie. I have managed to make a mini, 35-minute version of the documentary by stitching together the parts that are more focussed on the propaganda aspects of the ‘pandemic’. This shows with remarkable clarity how propaganda was used to perpetrate the great covid con, which somehow innocently, entirely coincidentally, and apparently unavoidably transferred $4 Trillion from We (the rest of) the People to the billionaire class in 2020 alone:
Covid Terror Theaters
Early on in the so-called Covid-19 pandemic, there were three terror theater hotspots in the west that served as key triggers for the wider covid propaganda campaign, which in turn was crucial to the entire covid operation.
The events to which I refer, namely in Northern Italy, London and New York, were key to jolting the global population into the state of fear and compliance needed to execute lockdowns and all the other non-sensical countermeasures, while simultaneously achieving near total acquiescence, in the face of individual freedoms, human rights, and democracy itself all being suspended, if not dismantled, on grounds of a presumed health emergency.
This progression of events, ultimately, and as intended long before covid, enabled today’s PTSNB to strong-arm some 3/4 of humanity into agreeing, without informed consent, to having what can now at best be described as a genetic experiment injected in them. On this page, we call it a bioweapon.
In under 5 minutes, by using the Internet Wayback Machine, or referring to a pre-covid dictionary, even the most rabid Big Pharma-vaccine-loving normie can determine unequivocally that none of the Covid-19 injections fits the definition of a vaccine. Indeed, all the world’s major online dictionaries, in English, at least, were surreptitiously changed in the spring of 2021 for this very reason. Without knowing for sure, I would also confidently wager a significant sum on an honor system basis that the same was done in French, German, and Spanish, at a minimum.
As for the bioweapon argument, the mountain of evidence is as big as Everest at this point. As recommended many times, for those who are still not quite there yet, Sasha Latypova’s page here on substack is one of the best of many excellent places to start to get to grips with this subject matter. Here is another. Additionally, Dr. Richard Flemming’s, ‘Is COVID-19 a Bioweapon?: A Scientific and Forensic Investigation’, and ‘The Truth About Covid-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal’ from Dr. Joseph Mercola and the late Ronnie Cummins are also works which offered compelling insights early on.
But making those arguments again here today is not what this post is about. Among other things, today’s post is about those hotspot theaters, and especially Northern Italy, primarily in the Lombardy region. Beyond London and New York, there was a fourth bit of extraordinary theater, or rather it was the first: this was the barrage of viral videos on social media supposedly of people on the streets of Wuhan spontaneously collapsing or dropping dead due to a mysterious new virus.
These dramatic videos from China, which clearly were made at least in part for western consumption, have since been comprehensively debunked. In hindsight, they look so stupid, it is easy to see that this was inevitable. However, at the time, with the right propaganda push, which was duly provided by the NSA’s Big Tech and the comprehensively co-opted mainstream media in the west, the videos were effective and certainly helped predispose the world to the theater that would soon follow next in Lombardy. Nevertheless, so resounding was the eventual debunking of these absurd videos that Power’s answer here has been to try to make this brief period in early covid history disappear and to pretend the videos never happened. In large part, this has worked, because many people have indeed forgotten about those totally ludicrous viral videos from China - but they did happen.
With respect to New York and London, as well as the wider UK, we have long since known that in both cases government authorities denied hospital care to the elderly in their tens of thousands. Those same governments then saw to it that many of these elderly were subjected to morphine and midazolam ‘treatments’ in their care homes, which made no sense as countermeasures against a respiratory disease and were in all likelihood the causal agent in the lion’s share of deaths that followed.
Furthermore, it is a matter of public record that the UK govt and the State of NY both stockpiled madazolam in inexplicable, if not unprecedented quantities, in the months before covid. We also know that in care homes and hospitals alike, patients were neglected at scale and systematically denied access to proper sustenance, access to support from their loved ones and advocates, access to antibiotics and vitamin D, and access to available effective treatment protocols from doctors whose hands were also tied, at least in theory, if not in practice, by their governments.
To make matters worse - far worse, ventilators, were used unnecessarily and with wanton abandon under government direction despite their known high mortality rate and the fact that by this time the fatality rate for what was presumed to be Covid-19 was already confirmed to have been relatively low. At some point along the way, I do not know exactly when, the US govt, at least, began to offer wholly corrupt financial incentives (bribes) to hospitals for ventilator use on any and all suspected covid patients.
Later, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Dr. Anthony Fauci would make the long-since-known-to-be-highly-toxic Rendesivir the sole authorized drug treatment protocol for Covid-19 throughout the United States. Further astonishing financial incentives (again bribes) from the govt were offered for Rendesivir’s use as well. Meanwhile, drugs such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine which were time tested, proven safe, and producing good results against covid were comprehensively banished from the scene, again through a massive propaganda campaign.
In short, and although propaganda told us otherwise, Donald Trump’s incompetence did not kill an extra 500,000 Americans, Rendesivir and other forced countermeasures and protocols from the NIH and its masters, whoever they may ultimately be, did. I will say it even more plainly: at the highest levels, where the covid plan was really conceived and run, what happened in New York and the UK was, in my opinion, planned mass murder, which was presumably seen as a necessary part of the covid psychological operation.
One of the hardest things to understand in arriving at this conclusion, and I know this because I was stuck there for a long time, is that at first blush, at least, it is almost impossible to imagine that healthcare workers could be involved in such things. However, poke around a bit and investigate related subject matter areas such as totalitarianism, the deliberate systematic destruction of education, and the nature and history of today’s Rockefeller-Bill Gates-Big Pharma healthcare industry, plus how Power uses hierarchy and compartmentalization to its advantage at our expense, and suddenly it is not difficult at all. It also requires no assumption that all healthcare workers knew what they were taking part in, although many must have done.
Despite coming to grips with these realizations, which many others were having around the same time, I still could not grasp the operational mechanics, i.e., how this sinister plan was actually executed on the ground in the hospitals. Dr. Robert Yoho’s book, Cassandra’s Memo addresses this in specific detail. It provided the missing piece to this puzzle, which I had been strugglingly with up to that point.
But one does not have to go nearly that far to see, at least with hindsight, that London, New York, and the viral videos from China now have zero credibility as justification for the subsequent actions and so-called countermeasures governments supposedly employed for the sake of the so-called Covid-19 pandemic for months and years thereafter, including up to the present day.
Perhaps some still believe, even at this late stage, that these things were predicated on the limited information that was available at the time, plus good intentions that simply went awry due to inexperience and incompetence in an unprecedented situation. If so, then for them I would have a few questions:
How is it possible that any government could genuinely be so incompetent to such an extreme by getting virtually everything about covid and its so-called countermeasures so wrong, and yet so masterfully well organized in their propaganda, fear-based messaging, and their authoritarian enforcement of those same misguided countermeasures?
How is it possible that the very same thing could occur not just with one or many governments, but with virtually all them simultaneously, in nearly every respect?
How many politicians involved have genuinely apologized and accepted responsibility in any meaningful way for their egregious mistakes (?) and the harms their actions caused?
Why do so many of those egregious mistakes remain ongoing to this day?
How many governments have formally relinquished the extraordinary emergency powers they seized, often unconstitutionally, on grounds of covid, now that the ‘pandemic’ has subsided?
Have the respective state and national governments of Australia decommissioned all those concentration camps they erected and operationalized? (They have not!)
Finally, as Mike Yeadon often asks, and I paraphrase: ‘Does not the fact that virtually all governments landed on a near perfectly synchronized and highly authoritarian plan, the specifics of which radically contravened all known epidemiological science up to that point as well as all known pre-existing government pandemic response plans, prove the existence of a higher global authority exerting power extra-democratically from the shadows?’ My answer: It certainly does.
Northern Italy
But what of Lombardy? It was so horrifically graphic, that I would imagine it still looms large in many people’s minds as having been a legitimate justification for governments to embrace the Covid-19 narrative and its (insane) countermeasures. Here again, while I never saw any justification anywhere for how govts behaved, I struggled for a long time to understand what happened in Northern Italy.
However, the preponderance of lies and counter-narrative evidence became so great in every other respect, that I could confidently intuit that something must have been off in Lombardy, too. In fact, I had already been studying and clocking what Catherine Austin Fitts, who I later had the great opportunity to meet, then described to me as the “Great Poisoning”, i.e., all the different ways Power is trying to poison We the People. So, I could surmise that the Lombardy deaths were manufactured in other ways, be it environmental poisoning through the likes of government chemtrails or directed microwave radiation for offensive purposes, both of which are provably real beyond any reasonable doubt, despite their existence being frequently denied by officialdom and its mouthpieces.
However, it now appears that Lombardy is more a case where Occam's Razor actually prevails. This is where Dr Sam Bailey from New Zealand will come in shortly and for that I am glad, because I have been wanting to talk more about her since the day I started this substack. Dr Mike Yeadon was the first lone expert voice of reason on the internet to really help wake me up and validate my impressions about the insanity I was seeing in 2020. Dr. Bailey was the second. The last four years - nearly, have taught me not to rely on heroes and to not even use that word anymore, except very sparingly. However, if heroes still exist, then Drs Yeadon and Bailey are among them. They are both fearless, if not literally, then at least in their actions and the risks and sacrifices they have entailed.
Before we leave London, New York, and those viral videos from China behind, I will build on a further cautionary question that Mike Yeadon pleaded those he could reach to heed. I again paraphrase: ‘If you know your government (or the media) has deliberately lied to you about even one thing of life and death importance, why would you trust them on anything?’ Here Dr Yeadon was referring to the early covid narratives and countermeasures, such as PCR testing, the adulteration of the meaning of the word ‘cases’, lockdowns, asymptomatic transmission, social distancing, masking, and the gross manipulation of mortality figures etc.
In fact, for those he could reach, despite being comprehensively censored on all NSA Big Tech platforms, Dr Yeadon was able to expose the lies and pseudo science behind all of it, but the point he was making in his question was valid then, and it is valid here as well. As I have tried to articulate above, with the benefit of hindsight we know full well that the awful things that happened early on in New York, London and the greater UK, were nothing like what we were led to believe by our governments. As for the ridiculous spoof videos from Wuhan, to my recollection from the period in question, no government or senior politician in power publicly called foul on them or even stopped to seriously question them for that matter.
The videos were so absurd on their face that intelligence expertise would hardly have been needed to debunk them. However, come to think of it, our intelligence communities expropriate countless billions from us year after year, supposedly so they can protect us, so - why didn’t any of them weigh in on these videos in a timely manner? Did they ever? I have no such recollection.
How is it that dozens of top spooks in the United States went out of their way to go public with a consensus view that Hunter Biden’s laptop was (probably?) Russian disinformation, something which was obviously a dubious position at the time and later proved to be categorically wrong, yet these same intelligence figures were completely silent on the matter of these spoof videos from our supposed adversary, the Chinese Communist Party? The videos clearly constituted a national security level concern, and they were having profound effects our both the citizenry and the subsequent paths our leaders would take us down. Furthermore, as the Hunter Biden laptop scandal shows, it is not as though these spooks were shy or overly concerned about discretion when it comes to speaking out publicly. So, where were they?
Finally, since the government and the intelligence services love censorship so much and all the mechanisms for it were already deeply established - why didn’t they simply err on the side of caution, as they are so prone to do in some instances, and have their Big Tech boys censor these videos from China as misinformation like they did all the videos and stories critical of the covid agenda or those that tried to raise awareness about Hunter Biden’s laptop?
None of this can be reconciled as an intelligence failing. None of it.
So, clearly, our govts have lied to us, not once, but countless times and systematically so about all things covid and much more. They have also unambiguously shown us that they have more than a strong a tendency to collude with one another across borders in the lies they tell us. Therefore, why would we accept at face value what we have been told or even “shown” about Lombardy? The clear answer here is that we should not.
Conclusion
Yet, it is good to have answers, and regarding what happened in Italy in 2020, it looks like we now have them: “On 31 October this year the Health Freedom Defense Fund published an article "Italy 2020 – The Preposterous Pandemic" that looked at the detailed regional breakdown of the COVID-19 deaths or more specifically the deaths officially attributed to COVID-19. Even on their own terms, the article has exposed that the claim that there was pandemic is nothing less than preposterous.”
In her post below, Dr Bailey provides a video reading of the Heath Freedom Defense Funds’s article with supporting visual aids and insightful commentary. Whether through the article or Dr Bailey’s video, it is now all too easy to understand not just that Northern Italy was indeed another example of government theater and foul-play, but also more precisely what deceits were perpetrated and specifically how:
I bring this post to a close with Dr Bailey’s final remarks in her video in hopes that they will further motivate readers to click the link above and watch it for themselves for ultimately her message is positive and offers hope:
There was no novel corona virus or any quote virus at work in Italy in 2020. It was a manufactured crisis involving the reclassification of disease and widespread panic through constant fear propaganda.
Keep in mind that Italian council of ministers had declared a 6-month state of emergency starting on Jan 31st 2020, which was 3 weeks before Italy even had its first death attributed to Covid-19 and it was certainly convenient that they had granted these extraordinary powers to themselves in Jan 2018.
There was no new disease and cases were created through the fraudulent application of molecular detection assays such as the PCR. In 2020, my Virus Mania co-author, Dr. Claus Kohnlein explained how Covid-19 was a PCR pandemic, not a new disease epidemic.
The differences in the alleged case numbers and deaths in different regions (in Northern Italy) is explained by policy, not biology. These policies can involve testing patterns including how they are incentivized, as well as reckless if not murderous treatment protocols.
The interview with Claus has stood the test of time and I recommend watching it if you have not seen it before. I hope you have enjoyed this presentation. As always, I like to end on a positive note and hope that this information has reduced fear by demonstrating once again that you do not have to worry about alleged deadly pathogens. You can safely ignore the hysteria and destructive measures promoted by the fraudsters. Concentrate on what brings you true health, which is in your hands.

Excellent synopsis; I sincerely hope this piece and others like it will assist in those stragglers who still haven't gleaned this enormous crime. You touch on many important aspects and why we struggle to see what is - eventually - obvious. And I'm with you on Yeadon and Bailey!
Most of us simply can't believe TPTW (the Powers That Were) are so ambitiously deceptive and dangerous. Normalcy bias keeps it at bay and THEY use that gap to their advantage.
Of course propaganda has gotten far more sophisticated since the world wars, so as CAF's has pointed out, they use entrainment (literally interrupting the gut-level knowing we come with) so that our 'gut' goes along with the lies. Messing with our bio-fields is an ongoing reality, and the sooner we catch on to that, the sooner we can claim our bio-fields and learn techniques to keep their tech at bay.
Damn, it's always worse than we know! :-) Still, I'm confident humans overcome, and these anti-human havoc-wreakers are on their way out. (A frequency thing, ultimately) They will try to take as many of us with them of course.
Well done - thank you. Best.
