The "fact-check" con may finally be unraveling

When the Chyna virus hit, social media companies started naming organizations they called "fact-checkers."

Think about that for a minute.  Right away you've got a shit-ton of propaganda there.  Because the media companies called those organizations "fact checkers," the normal assumption is that they're honest.

Really?  Since the social media giants selected the companies, and the companies wanted to keep that designation, only a fool would believe the so-called "fact checkers" were unbiased.

And just so you understand: if the supposedly honest FC's claimed a story was false, that the post would be either deleted or would have its visibility drastically reduced.

But because of the *name,* virtually everyone  believed their lies.

But people who did their own research realized that the "fact checkers" were lying--brazenly--to support the regime Narrative.  Slowly, more Americans started to realize that every post that contradicted the regime's Narrative was called false.

Then the Twitter files and documents pried loose by FOIA requests proved what many suspected all along: that the so-called fact checkers were simply supporting whatever lies the biden regime were pushing.

The regime couldn't legally censor, so it used the FBI and DOJ to pressure the social-media companies to do so.  And in order for those companies to keep from looking like regime shills, they piously bleated that *they* weren't determining the truth of every post, but were having a supposedly honest, unbiased outfit make that call.

It was utter horseshit.

But recently the con seems to have unraveled.
Three days ago a data cruncher who writes for Brownstone was reviewing the CDC’s official figures on how many Americans had died and had the cause of death listed as COVID.

He then checked the CDC figures against death certificates from Missouri and Massachusetts.  He found thousands of instances in which the coroner’s report did NOT list covid as the cause of death--but the CDC counted those deaths as covid.

Unequivocal fraud.

From the first case in the U.S. (Jan 29, 2020) we’ve been trusting the CDC to give us accurate figures on COVID’s mortality.  But they've been lying.  Deliberately.  You're entitled to ask why, and to demand that those who made the false entries be prosecuted.

How much the CDC inflated the number of deaths classified as covid is hard to say, but finding "thousands" in just two states suggests a serious problem with dark implications.

People who paid attention knew the fix was in from the moment the "task force coordinator" for the plandemic, Deborah Birx, said from the podium that anyone who died after testing positive for covid would be considered to be *caused* by covid.  And since the only test at that time was the notoriously bad PCR test (which was known to give a high percentage of false positives), the inevitable overcount was obvious.

Did Birx make that decision herself?  Not likely, since Birx was not in charge of the CDC. Indeed, her authority as "task force coordinator" was always unclear.  We know she was recommended to Trump by a member of the National Security Council, Matthew Pottinger.  We also that starting March 13, 2020, the NSC was the lead agency with the CDC reduced to operations.

If the CDC or Birx was told by NSC to order that marking "with" covid as "cause of death" regardless of what state certificates said, no one has ever disclosed such an order.

Another telltale of fraud is that CDC records show that *on paper,* all other disease-related causes of death nearly vanished for two years, particularly flu and pneumonia, but also heart attack and stroke.  Obviously there's no reason to expect that the flu actually vanished, so it's  clear that there was something fishy going on.

As soon as this story was published, the screaming emails started: Without trying to refute our figures, or even checking the source data, writers accused Brownstone and the author of simply making things up.  Writers were indignant that anyone would even suggest that the CDC was anything other than totally honest.

Certainly if critics found errors, they should be corrected. That’s how science works: a meticulous review of claims and data eventually gets closer to the truth.  But of course that’s not what the fact-checkers did.  Their approach was what's called "argument from authority:"  They claimed you were wrong if you contradicted the regime's claims in any way.  No meticulous review, no science.

For example, some of you may recall that for three years Fauci, Birx and the rest of the regime claimed it was simply impossible that the virus was modified by the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or indeed, that that lab was conducting gain-of-function research.  The so-called fact-checkers cited Fauci's self-serving bleats that it wasn't possible to say the above claim was false.

But in the last three months, thanks to a slim Republican majority in one chamber of congress, we’ve gotten access to unredacted emails that show what was really going on in the spring of 2020.  In an email dated Feb. 1, 2020, Fauci said the Wuhan Instituted was indeed doing gain-of-function research, and that it seemed highly UNlikely that the virus had evolved naturally.

Yet these not only were these crucial admissions hidden for three years, Fauci and the CDC and the entire biden regime claimed that the exact opposite was true.

At this point it’s reasonable to assume that every government and Mainstream Media claim about the virus was wrong--either a deliberate lie or parroting a lie without checking.

Some of you probably already suspected this. And I suspect that we've only begun to find the full scope of the lies.  

Our freedom--and honest elections--suffered a huge blow from the mass of lies the regime told us about covid.  Question is, why did they deliberately lie to you?
