In March 2020, liberal democracy ground to a sudden stop.Like the Reichstag Fire of 1933, historians may never know how SARS-CoV-2 came about. For scientists, exploring its origins would be a rewarding endeavor if it weren’t precluded by an immovable force—the jackboot of Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party.But while intelligence agencies spent months investigating the virus’s origins, the world employed an unprecedented response that proved far more devastating than the virus itself, leading to the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, widespread hunger, and the disappearance of countless lives and livelihoods. Across the world, governments implemented measures modeled on the mass quarantines imposed in China, commonly referred to as “lockdowns.”It was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe since the Second World War, and the largest man-made famine since the Great Leap Forward. And it was all for nothing. Lockdowns had never been science. Rather, they’d sprung into global policy on the order of the CCP princeling who would become the most influential member of the Baby Boom generation; an aberration thrust upon the world through an unprecedented, international influence operation.By corrupting global institutions, promoting forged data, publishing fraudulent science, and deploying propaganda on an unprecedented scale, the CCP under Xi Jinping transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” the greatest crime of the 21st century to date. This is the story of how he did it, and why.
I can’t speak to every fact itemized but the logic is crystal clear. Everyone should read this book, review the references (or some of them) and decide for themselves.
The premise of this book is that one man, Xi Jinping, is responsible for concocting the Covid-19 pandemic as a way of forcing totalitarian practices on western democracies aided by a multi-year programme to “buy” all the worlds leading politicians, academics, public health officials and tech entrepreneurs supported by social-media based propoganda. He claims this is a new form of warfare to replace tanks and guns .. a form of psychological cyber warfare to influence minds rather than destroy software and equipment. He does not address two critical questions: 1. How has Xi done this without there being more dissenting voices? 2. What’s in it for those that have fallen into line behind the lie? Whilst there are certainly some elements of truth - in China’s use of social media propaganda and its financial “support” of “influential” people and institutions - I find it completely unbelievable that so many influential right thinking people around the world can be brought into line without any, any, whistle blowers. And that they all, all, can be given incentives persuasive enough for them all, all, to toe the party message. In short .. “interesting” but stupid.
It's definitely persuasive. Almost half of the book is references. It's well argued. My gut was with the author until the final summary.
It left me wondering the motives behind the CCPs' actions. Sure power and influence, but to what end?
The book explains why the response to COVID has been so irrational. It provides a massive amount of information here. It has finally got me off of facebook and instagram as well. I would definitely read it to make sense of the past couple years.
The information compiled in this book is fully cited. You can access ever footnote. There is no fake news or propaganda. It tells the story of the lockdowns and how words were used to destroy our humanity for over two years and possibly longer. Snake Oil is a serious accounting of what a sinister foreign leader did to turn citizens against citizen and “health officials” against the people for whom they are entrusted to protect. It warns us of the power of propaganda. Propaganda that has destroyed the world. Not Covid, but words.
Very well written and an easy read. Definitely has some postulations with great back up information. Clearly shows the fraud of the coronavirus lockdown fraud. Everyone needs to read this.
Read it before it is cancelled. Fix our broken world! You saw the narrative that your rulers wanted you to see in the media. The woke sheep think that they know the history of the Great Pandemic of the twenty first century, but they are wrong. If you have awakened from the woke world you know that something is very wrong with the story. You know that the holes in the facts and logic are adding up to the Great Scam of the intended Great Reset. Snake Oil puts the pieces together so you can understand the evil that has consumed our world. This page turner can be gobbled up like an historical fiction, but you should read slow enough to internalize every detail. The crime against humanity must be understood so we can hold those responsible to account. The return to the rule of law is essential to restore our free democracies worldwide.
Eventually the details of all this will come out publicly, but only once some brave people in positions of authoriy start to expose the criminal behaviour of the CCP and Xi Jinping.
As I write this review, I reflect on the last three years and what it has done to my psyche. Receiving coordinated input about the pandemic over this chunk of time left me seeking an isolated life. I hope I can overcome those urges I still have and I think this book has helped stop that slightly manic feedback loop because it shines a light on truth. I am grateful for the recommendation given to me by a doctor’s wife. It may be the best prescription I have ever filled. The book traces the decisions that were made in late 2019 and early 2020 by a totalitarian government’s abuse of media, utilization of the WHO and relationships built over many years with many countries leading to a non-sensical plan. Since I have seen no accountability for the actions that politicians, judges, journalists, doctors and scientists took, it seems I need to heal through books like this. I appreciate this author that has taken what I witnessed and zooms out to create the picture puzzle and then fits all the puzzle pieces back into place.
These few sentences summarize all of the records and decisions contained in this book - (no spoiler, it's in the title): “Whatever the reason, western government proved unprepared to cope with or even comprehend wide-scale scientific fraud. The judges deferred to the politicians. The politicians deferred to the health officials. The health officials deferred to the WHO. The Who deferred to China and China deferred to XI.”
I was quite willing to chalk this up to plain fear and incompetence on the part of most officials. To worried about conformity and opinion polls than about actual sound good governance in the face of a supposedly deadly pandemic. Heck even once it was pretty clear that most measures weren't working, the actions of officials (elected or not) to double down and continue the farce rather than admit they were wrong was an understandable human failing.
To pin this all on the CCP, or more correctly to the soft power politics that the CCP engages in... yeah I can see how it would have an influence. Particularly in my country where my own PM has stated publicly he admires the CCP.
You don't have to agree with the thesis or conclusions, but you should read this to see how colossally bad our response to COVID was. All because we played copy cat to a regime that wasn't actually succeeding at stopping the spread anyway, but how would we know since that regime is very good at propaganda, disinformation, etc. No need to jump on "Xi is evil" to swallow this line of thinking. Just herd mentality, scared opportunistic politicians, incompetent health officials, and the conformity of the mainstream population.
The rubbish and lies that we have been fed in the course of this so called Pandemic, is outlined. Forged data, forged and botched up (not-)facts that were told to the general population about the virus & its ability to spread, have been outlined in the book. I have personally never believed in the logic behind Lockdowns that we all experienced & this book addresses just that. & also, how all this was fabricated to make the general population believe, that it was for their own good. When in fact it harmed every country across the world.
The phases of lockdowns starting March 2020, will go in history as one of the BIGGEST staged lies that people were told & forced to believe in to curtail a "not so deadly" virus.
This should be required reading. whether you agree with the author's premise and conclusions, we all should agree that Xi is a terrible person and a ruthless dictator, and also that covid lockdowns, vaccines, masks, and all the general fear mongering was based on nonsense.
Senger makes a well reasoned, well supported, and well argued case. while it's likely that some of his conclusions will turn out to be inaccurate or even completely wrong, one would be hard pressed right now to pick out which ones. they all hold up.
I found this book to be quite convincing when it comes to the story of how the world was sold on lockdowns, in part, by an organized Chinese propaganda campaign, but I found it less convincing when it moved on to quickly dismiss the lab leak theory of the origins of the virus. While the lab leak origin remains unproven, the claims about the virus being in circulation for more than a year are offered with minimal support.
Michel P. Sengerin Kiinan kommunistisen puolueen ideologiaan ja sen nykyiseen johtohahmoon Xi Jinpingiin ja kiinalaiseen tapaan yhdistää kansanterveys- ja turvallisuuspolitiikkaan eli Fangkongiin keskittyvä tietoteos saattaa avata joidenkin silmät, kun on ehkä tullut ajateltua, olivatko sittenkään viralliseen koronanarratiiviin ja tähän kulttiin kuuluneet manööverit pakottamisineen ihan tarpeellisia tai mistä pakkokeinot oikein olivat peräisin.
Tämä kirja kuuluu siihen narratiiviin, että Kiinan kommunistinen puolue on maailman suurin rikollisliiga, joka on ottanut tavoitteekseen alistaa koko maailman, ja Senger kirjoittaakin aika osuvasti, että kylmän sodan aikana Yhdysvallat ja Neuvostoliitto kilpailivat maailmanherruudesta asevarustelun saralla, kun Kiina puolestaan hoiti saman homman omaksi edukseen rahalla (Tie ja Vyö -hankkeet ja monet muut kuten Piilaakson startupien rahoitus).
Alkuun lähdetään Kiinan kommunistisen puolueen historiasta ja Maon vastustajien tuhoamisesta. Siitä päästäänkin nykyiseen keulakuvaan ja hänen historialliseen nousuunsa ja Xin varhaisiin vaiheisiin sekä länsimaisen globalistieliitin (mm. tekno- ja lääkejätit ja WEF) liittoutumisesta kommunistihallinnon kanssa.
Kun on riittävästi referoitu Xin poliittisia tavoitteita, tullaankin kirjan varsinaiseen sisältöön eli CCP:n totalitaristisen politiikan ulottamisesta länsimaihin, WHO:hon ja muihinkin instituutioihin maailmanlaajuisesti. Psykologisesta sodankäynnistä on otettu oppia Neuvostoliiton ”zersetsungista”, joka voidaan kääntää uhrien psyykkiseksi hajottamiseksi. Tällainen on tehokasta aivopesua, kun psyyke rakennetaan uudelleen ja päähän iskostetaan pelottelulla ja pakottamisella, mitä valtaapitävät haluavatkin. Uhrit hiljennetään tahdottomiksi yksilöiksi, joita voidaan hallita ja eristää muiden toisinajattelijoiden tapaan maailmanlaajuisesti eli uiguurien alistamisen mallin ulottamisen lännestä itään.
Kirja keskittyy pitkälti ylimitoitettuihin koronatoimiin ja Sengerin mukaan perin valheelliseen propagandaan. Talvella 2020 valtavirtamedia lietsoi vimmattua pelkopornoa Kiinan Wuhanista, jossa ihmiset kaatuivat suorilta jaloilta kuolemaansa saatuaan Covid 19 -tartunnan CCP:n elokuvaosaston toimittamien propagandavideoiden esittämän vakuuttelun mukaan. Vielä vuosia myöhemmin kiistellään siitä, lähtikö virus alkujaan torien lepakoista vai Kiinan suurimmasta bioaselaboratoriosta, jossa myös Yhdysvallat oli osallisena kehittelemässä nykyaikaisia bioaseita.
Senger tietää myös, että CCP:ltä olivat lähtöisin sulkutilojen tieteistäminen taudin leviämisen ehkäisemiseksi. Rokottamattomia ihmisiä tämän seurauksena suljettiin moderneihin keskitysleireihin Kiinaa ja muutamia länsimaita myöden, ja rokotekampanjoista suunniteltiin jatkuvia niin kuin lockdowneistakin – olisihan sellainen sallinut samantapaisen kontrollin kuin Kiinassa. Suurelta yleisöltäkin piilotettiin vastakkainen tieto, ja sellaisen esittäjiä pilkattiin ja vainottiin, vaikka John Ioannidis Stanfordin yliopistosta on moneen otteeseen osoittanut tutkimuksissaan, että kuolleisuus koronaan jäi alle normaalin kausi-influenssan alle 0,2% fataalisuudellaan.
Kuulostaa kovin tutulta, kun Suomessakin ”pakkorokotettiin” sairaanhoitajia, sillä niin sanotusti oikeus elämään ohittaa perusoikeudet, niin kuin Suomen silloinen pääministeri Sanna Marinkin ilmoitti. Tämäkin konsepti oli Kiinasta peräisin. Kun ei suostunut ottamaan koronainjektiota, saikin lähteä kilometritehtaalle lasaretista. Yhteistä koronamanian vellotessa kuumimmillaan länsimaissakin toteutettiin Kiinan kommunistisen puolueen (CCP) ”hoitoprotokollaa” ja propaganda otettiin ihan tosissaan ja sellaista julistettiin ja edistettiin ”tieteenä”. Rokoteseteistä tuli ikään kuin joukkopsykoosiin joutuneille ihmisille tyrkytettyjä kissanleluja, joita tavoiteltiin ansaitsemalla parempaa elämää, vapautuksia rajoituksista ja turvaa vakavalta tautimuodolta, kunhan ottaa kaikki itselle tyrkytetyt pistokset ajallaan ja noudattaa pilkuntarkasti viranomaisohjeita. Toisin kuitenkin kävi, ja luvattu laumasuojakin jäi saavuttamatta, vaikka ennustemallien mukaan tartuntakurvien tasoittamiseen osallistumisen jälkeen piti saada immuniteetti, mutta variantit sen kuin lisääntyivät.
Normaali toimintamalli oli sellainen, että oikeuslaitos alistettiin poliitikoille terveysviranomaisten tapaan, ja ylikansallisesti myös WHO:n liekaan ja suosituksiin, ja lopulta Kiinaan ja CCP:n ytimeen. Puhuttiin uudesta normaalista, ja valmisteltiin ihmisiä siihen, että kuka tahansa voi olla vihollinen (siis koronan levittäjä). Pahimpia olivat tietysti roketedenialistit. Maalattiin uhkakuvia kollektiivisesti, että kyseessä oli todellinen supervirus, ja sen tukahduttamiseksi ihmisoikeudet ovat dumpattavissa pysyvästi. Isolle osalle ihmisistä tämä mielen uudelleenohjelmointi ryhmäajatteluineen onkin onnistunut ja zersetsung osunut napakymppiin.
Muutama sitaatti kirjan mahtipontisesta lopetuksesta:
Fake infection data led to a fake WHO report. A fake WHO representative gave the world fake public health advice. Fake journalists reported fake news, moderated by fake fact checkers. Fake politicians and fake health officials enforced fake public health policies.
This short, solid, compellingly written book has upended much of what I thought I knew about Covid (and not to boast, but I know quite a bit).
The phrase "must read" gets used a lot, but this book really must be read, if we, individually and as a society, are to have any hope of breaking free of the dark, bizarre spell that has been cast over us these last three years.
I've known since April or May of 2020 that something weird was going on that was about more than just a virus. Too many things just didn't add up. I eventually came to see that we were victims of what Maajid Nawaz calls a "military-grade psy-op."
What I didn't realize until reading this book was the ultimate source of the psy-op: Xi Jinping. Indeed, Xi has pulled off the greatest psy-op in all of human history. Hitler's man Goebbels was a master propagandist, but he only managed to brainwash a nation, not the entire world. Xi is not only a propagandist but a long-term-thinking strategist.
Xi, enabled by the science, media, corporate, academic, and government entities around the world that are controlled or compromised by him, inflicted poverty, starvation, social breakdown, mental torment, and physical and psychological abuse on billions of human beings. Especially children -- which only makes Xi's cruelty all the more horrifying.
Lockdowns, masks, school closures, distancing, and long-term social isolation were never justified by science. In fact, the actual science over many decades had already shown these measures to be not only unhelpful, but harmful. Nevertheless, these measures were imposed, because our authorities, against all history and common sense, chose to simply trust that we were getting truthful information from a totalitarian dictatorship. As Senger shows in this book, every facet of our Covid policies was based on lies. And all the lies trace back to what China was telling us in the early months of 2020. For no good reason, we simply took China's word at face value.
Media companies, universities, Big Tech, and politicians -- all with massive ties to China, what a coincidence -- were only too eager to repeat unquestioningly the narrative that China spun. And it was a narrative designed with one purpose: to not only increase China's economic and political power at the expense of the rest of the world, but to actually transform the rest of the world into China writ large: an authoritarian society, with total surveillance and zero freedom, in which every human being is digitally and biometrically tracked and traced, human rights are a thing of the past, and the very concept of the dignity of the individual is erased.
This book is short -- only 152 pages of text. They just may be the most important 152 pages you read this year.
The actual problem with this coronavirus is not its origin, but the totalitarian policies which have been used in much of the world to try, unsuccessfully, to eliminate it, leading to economic destruction, starvation in some places, educational setbacks, and increases in other illnesses, including mental illness.
I have read over half the book and it is so full of selective references I could not read any more. Some of the narrative was just as biased as the very nation he was criticising. He needs to understand more about viruses, diagnostics and treatment.
Unfortunately, Senger makes a strong, clear case that China's dictator is the main culprit behind the outbreak of Covid and the subsequent lockdowns around the world. However, Some of his sub-arguments need more support, such as his claim that the virus wasn't dangerous. Overall, it's a very good book about one of the most important issues in the world.
