30 years ago, I couldn't even imagine myself as an Engineer! How I are one!
The three dialectics
I. COVID-19 real, actual | COVID-19 "made up", fictional, not actual, not real
II. COVID-19 real, actual -- and natural | COVID-19 a real, actual, man-made bioweapon
III. COVID-19 caused “excess” deaths | COVID-19 no worse than the “flu”

PART ONE of The Dialectics of COVID-19
Used here in the
Marxist sense of the word , the dialectics of "COVID-19"
has become both a multi-layered cover-up of malfeasance by amalgamations governments | corporations and a
multi-dimensional obfuscation of base Reality.[1]
My purpose in assaying this essay is to deconstruct the putative history and continued evolution of “COVID-19”, which term now extends far beyond virology, biochemistry, and human physiology and encompasses political, social, and economic “externalities”, especially as those relate to international agencies, institutions, and transnational corporate entities (e.g., UN, WHO, IMF, BIS); to national, state, and local governments and their agencies,
all of which are “incorporated”; and such corporate “stakeholders” as included among Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big “Money”, Big Media, and “Big Agriculture”, among many other “biggies” [for example, Big [alphabet letter] Street].e.g., [2]

Now, imagine yourself
awakening in a Hall of Mirrors. You have no clue how you came into the
Hall where most reflections appear real, other partial or distorted – the
latter obviously fake, in other words. You know not the layout of the
Hall or how far it may extend in any direction.
Thus you have no clue where or how long you might have to wander to find
an exit. You do not even know IF the Hall of Mirrors HAS an exit!
You may consider what follows a hand-sketched road map, the information contained therein the contribution of a diverse array of investigators, journalists, and scientists. Apropos, I plot several key milestones that serve to give orientation to where you find yourself in – if not guidance specific to escape from – the Hall of Mirrors.

The first layer of
dialectic most people missed at its onset (or outset):
I. COVID-19
real, actual | COVID-19 "made up", fictional, not actual, not real
Some analysts (e.g.,
Jon Rappoport) point out that no one has isolated and positively identified
COVID-19; that no test as currently applied specifically detects or positively identifies
COVID-19 in human beings; and that symptomology arguably associated with
COVID-19 also signals other possible respiratory conditions and ailments.
In the fewest possible words, we have no scientific evidence that “COVID-19” per se exists. Absent such evidence, we have no rational
basis for asserting that COVID-19 does exist.
Other observers, many
with medical training, recount encountering people (patients) with unusual (and
unusually severe) symptoms (for example, "I can't breathe!", accompanied
by coughing and a fever). I recently spoke with several physicians, one
the Chief of Staff of a good-sized hospital, who concluded that the disease
they treated was "COVID-19". Of interest to me as a
Pharmacologist, each reported that, if a virus, then the viral condition was
the easiest they have encountered to treat successfully. Yes, among many successful treatments now
documented, when prescribed and taken appropriately, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) proved
safe and effective.
As would an appendage,
the second layer of dialectic adheres very closely to the first:
II. COVID-19
real, actual -- and natural | COVID-19 a real, actual, man-made bioweapon
Although among the
first featured in and pushed through MainStreamMedia (now mostly discarded), some
theories (theses) pointed to Wuhan’s "wet market" – and, of all
things to eat, bats! – the location of said market coincidentally close to a Level
4 (bioweapons) laboratory. These
theories rely on the notion of “cross-species transmission”. Of late, other, similar theories put forth
the idea that COVID-19 was initially isolated in a subpopulation of human
beings, say, by scientists working at the Wuhan laboratory. That is, COVID-19 was real and natural and
obtained from human beings, not bats or other kind of animal (e.g., cats, dogs,
pigs, or birds). This kind of theory
avoids the unfounded, unproved, thus problematic assertion of “cross-species
transmission”. Not that the ordinary man
or woman listening to CNN or FOX News would discern any problem with such
stories, especially with no expert rejoinder from a competent, objective, and honest
virologist.
Another school of
thought (anti-theses) holds that scientists|bioengineers designed and intended COVID-19
– a modified “corona virus”, an artificial, man-made entity – to have heightened transmissability among people
and much greater lethality than
other, naturally occurring corona viruses (namely, "common cold"). In fact, many point to the efficacy of
treatment of those infected with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an inexpensive,
(then) widely available, proven medicine with preventive as well as
ameliorative effects for a diverse array of diseases, from malaria to lupus. After all, if the weaponized corona virus – COVID-19
–were released indiscriminately (or regionally, say, Wuhan, Milan, Iran, and
New York City) to infect as many human beings as came into contact with the
“virus”, then those in charge of this “live exercise” (per US SoS Mick Pompeo)
would want to have the prophylactic, the cure, the preventative in hand and in
their bodies to ensure THEY did not get infected and then succumb to their own
bioweaponry! Several “world leaders”
professed to take HCQ (among them US POTUS Trump); other, lesser political leaders
either “banned” the prescription of HCQ by medical doctors or otherwise
restricted its availability to people not among the “select” or “elite”. Why would they do that?!? one can
legitimately query – even today.
At this stage of the
dialectical process, we find conspiracy theories spun out by such as Veterans
Today. Components of these theories included (1) University-based
laboratories (e.g., North Carolina, Harvard U., and one in Winnipeg, of all
places!); (2) so-called Level 4 [bioweapons] Laboratories (e.g., Fort Detrick
in Maryland, since reportedly closed down, the laboratory in Wuhan reportedly funded
by the WHO, US NIH (Fauci), and Bill Gates, Jr.); (3) professors and other
scientists who received (secretly?) money from China and|or who went to Wuhan
to continue their "studies"; and (4) graduate students from China who
stole (or attempted to steal) vials of "secret toxins" from these
laboratories. Some or all of these
imaginative (?) "building blocks" served to erect explanatory
edifices in the name of COVID-19, supposedly first "released" in
Wuhan, China. For example, Veterans Today pushed the story that
military games held in Wuhan (where else? one might query) provided the cover
for US agents to plant the virus “made in the USoA” (or in Israel) in Wuhan
with the strategic aim of “blaming China”!
The third layer of
dialectic deals with the consequences of COVID-19 presumed (assumed) “real”:
III. COVID-19 caused
“excess” deaths | COVID-19 no worse than the “flu”
The third layer of
COVID dialectics brings us to a murky morass of “numbers”, raw data, and statistics
– the kind of “input” makers of policies, passers of “laws” and statutes and
ordinances, dictators of “how it shall be notwithstandingly”, program
developers, MainStreamMedia, and ordinary, street-level people (end consumers
of “information”) need to discern fact from fiction, illusion from Reality, and
to ascertain disinformation|misinformation masquerading as reliable, actionable
information.
At this level of
discourse, you will find those who assert that, once released into populations
(Wuhan, Milan, Iran, NYC, and from there to the world at large), the bioweapon
proved a "dud", failing to achieve the spread and adverse
consequences for which The Power$ That Be (TP$TB) planned
and practiced not only during Fall 2019 but also long before as well. You will also find those who hang their hats
on statistics showing (1) greatly increased numbers of deaths (statistics seasonally adjusted, of course); (2) extraordinary
rates of infection (“COVID cases”, whether symptomatic or nonsymptomatic, not
matters for your concern!); and (3) reports of hospitals overwhelmed by the
“pandemic”.
PART ONE of The Dialectics of COVID-19 [to be continued]
[1]
FROM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectic: Dialectic or dialectics (Greek:
διαλεκτική, dialektikḗ; related to dialogue), also known as the dialectical
method, is at base a discourse between two or more people holding
different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth
through reasoned methods of argumentation. Dialectic resembles debate, but the
concept excludes subjective elements such as emotional appeal and the modern
pejorative sense of rhetoric.[1][2] Dialectic may thus be contrasted with both
the eristic, which refers to argument that aims to successfully dispute
another's argument (rather than searching for truth), or the didactic method,
wherein one side of the conversation teaches the other. Dialectic is
alternatively known as minor logic, as opposed to major logic or critique.
Within Hegelianism, the word dialectic has
the specialised meaning of a contradiction between ideas that serves as
the determining factor in their relationship. Dialectic comprises three stages
of development: first, the thesis, a statement of an idea;
second, the antithesis, a reaction that contradicts or negates the thesis;
and third, the synthesis, a statement through which the differences between
the two points are resolved. Dialectical materialism, a theory or set of
theories produced mainly by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, adapted the
Hegelian dialectic into arguments regarding traditional materialism.
Dialectic tends to imply a
process of evolution and so does not naturally fit within formal logic
(see Logic and dialectic). This process is particularly marked in Hegelian
dialectic, and even more so in Marxist dialectic, which may rely on the
evolution of ideas over longer time periods in the real world; dialectical
logic attempts to address this.
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality: Two British economists are credited with
having initiated the formal study of externalities, or "spillover
effects": Henry Sidgwick (1838–1900) is credited with first articulating,
and Arthur C. Pigou (1877–1959) is credited with formalizing the concept of
externalities.[ref 8]
The word externality is used because the effect
produced on others, whether in the form of profits or costs, is external to the
market.
A negative externality is any difference between the
private cost of an action or decision to an economic agent and the social cost.
In simple terms, a negative externality is anything that causes an indirect
cost to individuals.
