Were we silent?

Operation Warp Speed was initially funded with about $10 billion from the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) on March 27th, so you can be it was already in progress in primordial/planning stages from before 2 weeks earlier.

Revision as of 12:04, 12 March 2021

Biden comes out of hiding: the most transparent administration ever is the slowest to address the nation in over 100 years, and still no press conference. His speech started, ended and was filled with lies and disinformation, that divides the nation, and politicizes a pandemic, in the name of unity and healing. This breaks that down.


The context is that he did the speech on the one year anniversary of the 2 week lockdown to "flatten the curve", and on the day he signed a $2 Trillion Dollar Stimulus.

Lies of omission

The first thing to notice are what are the lies of omission. What did he leave out?

  1. Anything to do with the fact that the 2 week lockdown to flatten the curve was a failure. We had the surges anyways, and the experts claiming it was only two weeks were lying or fools. The conservatives/libertarians warning that the 2 weeks was the start of something bigger and more draconian and of questionable Constitutional authority were all called kooks/conspiracy theorists and other names -- but their claims proved prophetic. The lockdowns were a disaster, especially in Democrat controlled states, that did more harm than good.

  2. It was the politicization of the virus from Day 1 by the Democrats that divided us and polarized us. A big man would admit his sides mistakes. But no fear of that from Joe Biden. He ignored everything he and his side did wrong. .

  3. He talked a lot about the Vaccine that would save us by 4th of July, failing to mention that it's development was under Donald Trump, that Joe Biden lied about their being no distribution plan under it (when he's following it, to the letter), and that everyone ridiculed Trump for promising it and pushing it. Biden couldn't even mention the name, "Operation Warp Speed", because that would show some grace and appreciation.

  4. Nothing about how we've passed $4T before this pork-bill was passed, and this latest law is 95% pork to Democrat causes, having nothing to do with COVID, and delivered in years after COVID is over. It was divisive political opportunism, under the false pretense of helping with a disease that will be gone before the spending kicks in. All to fix policies that the Democrats forced on us.

Giving no credit, taking no responsibility, misrepresenting history and the other side, political opportunism, does that sound like the actions of someone that wants to unite and heal? That's all the omitted context. But then you get into the outright lies and disinformation, and his speech is worse.

Lies of commission

  • "A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked" ~

Were we silent? I seem to remember that 2 months before this time last year, Trump had already declared it a National Emergency, had already done a travel ban which Joe Biden called racist, Trump had already publicly chastised the FDA and CDC for slow-rolling and screwing up testing as well as those that let infected people into the nation.

So basically, the opening sentence is a lie.

  • "Denials for days, weeks, then months that led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness. " ~

What denial? We've already established that Trump had done more than the Democrats wanted. While the Democrats like Cuomo was calling for people to enjoy Saint Patricks day, the Presidents team was warning people about the contagion (though trying to control panic).

There were lots of deaths, stress and loneliness -- caused by the ill advised and now thoroughly debunked lockdowns -- especially of restaurants and gyms that the CDC now admits had extremely little effects on disease spread.

So yes, masks divide us: between the informed and the COVIDiots that want to believe in placebos.







The meat of his speech was trying to scare and threaten people to follow harder. What are they following? Mask mandates that didnt work, a lockdown that didnt help, and to take $35,000 per taxpayer in debt, to get $1,400 back... if you dont make too much. Did he thank Trump for the 400 million vaccines he bought, and the vaccination plan he created that we are right on plan with, for the 200 million people that need them? No. Senile Joe tried to take credit for buying more doses than people, as a pandemic is crashing before we have distributed a fraction of them. People have said they were sad we had to politicize a pandemic... but Democrats politicuze everything. Never let an opportunity go to waste...and never, ever take the high road and admit anything the other side did right.
