With the JoeBama administration looming, suddenly New York totalitarian Governor Andrew Cuomo has a reversal in position:
If you read that and said… “wha, wait.. huh?”, you would not be alone. After initiating lock-down measures that collapsed the New York economy because there was no other option…. suddenly the risks of economic collapse are worse than the COVID-19 threat, which is the same message President Trump has been sharing for months. What gives?
[…] New York has used just half of its roughly one million vaccine doses so far, and Cuomo said New York won’t have enough doses for roughly four million eligible New Yorkers until mid-April, based on the state’s federal allotment of 300,000 vaccines per week.
[…] “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo said. (read more)
The timing of this seems to be connected to the shift in administration; which would imply, publicly, that COVID shutdowns are indeed -as most have said- very politically motivated.
It will be interesting to see how California Governor Gavin Newsom responds to the shift in position from Cuomo.
The economic damage has been catastrophic, but all of the totalitarian governors have used the COVID threat to justify their action. This shift today is in direct contrast to several months of narrative drum-beating. Is this the inflection point where we discover that COVID was weaponized for maximum political value?
Like clockwork!
They scooped up enough NYC real estate on the cheap…
Not yet. Wait til the rent moratoriums end. And then the legal eviction process. Many building and multi family home owners will be bankrupted by then – about 2 years out given current eviction laws there. Then the real Fire sale buying spree will begin.
Jason Tatum: I see the same effect in Los Angeles. Block after block of decrepit retail properties, now with an abundance of retail vacancies, due to the Covid shutdowns. Santa Monica Blvd., Lincoln Blvd. Real estate primed for leveling and re-developing as rental apartments for wokesters, mixed-use properties, and “workspace” for techies and professional service firms.
So predictable its laughable.
Probably not laughable to all of the people who have lost everything…
They aren’t even very good at covering their tracks, are they?
Just how stupid do you have to be to be on their side at this point?
I know a whole lot of people with a whole lot of capital initials after their last names, and they’ve been totally into Covid. One of them tracks the daily death count. So “stupid” is perhaps not quite the right word?
.
naive
clueless
non-discerning
willfully blind
…
Exactly!!!
Perhaps ignorant, complicit, evil, obsessed? I also know a lot of people like the ones you describe and they are not geniuses by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, they know their field of expertise fairly well. That doesn’t make them experts at everything.
Yes, “stupid” is actually still stupid even about those of us with the (stupid?) capital letters, for intelligence like the law should be about equal standards for all.
Fionnagh,
Stop equating education with intelligence.
Some of the dumbest people I know have lots of those capital initials after their name. Some of the smartest people I know did not go to college, let alone grad school.
Intelligent people are intelligent, with or without higher level indoctrination.
Additionally intelligence does not equal character and neither does education.
Exactly. Education is a process, not the end result. And the best education does not guarantee the best result.
No, “stupid” has NOTHING to DO with it.
Ignorance of WHAT manipulation IS, and how it WORKS, IS relevant.
Mensa members, “well educated” and wealthy individuals get “conned” all the time.
Manipulation is getting someone to do something or believe something they would not otherwise do.
I ask you to pass me the salt, you do. I ask you to pass me $1000 of your $,not so much.
So, HOW do I manipulate you into wanting, even insisting on passing me your $? Manipulation.
As con artists have known for millenia, and scientists can now demonstrate with PET scans, our brains have a function we call “critical thinking.
It “double checks” every sensory input (is that a car backfire, or a gunshot? is that a shadow, or a lurking predator?) and every THOUGHT or opinion we form (should I take THIS action?, is my view of “how the World works” ACCURATE?) as a necesary survival function.
If it sees nothing wrong, it “says” nothing and we proceed; ONLY if it sees something “wrong” does it draw our attention.
VITAL to understand.
Now, again as has been proven by PET brainscans, IF we are experiencing a STRONG emotional responce, at the same time as an idea is introduced, the critical thinking parts of our brain are “muted”; we ‘hear’ nothing from them, and so don’t question the idea.
And THAT is how manipulation WORKS.
WHAT emotion is irrelevant, so long as it is STRONG enough; fear, greed, love, hate, sympathy, jelousy, resentment, it doesn’t matter.
So, hammer people with movies depicting plagues, for years.
Then photos of piles of body bags, and word of a horrible plague coming out of CHINA.
CREATE a STRONG feeling of FEAR. Once you have muted the critical thinking part of their brain, you can tell them all sorts of rediculous things, introduce irrational ideas, and since they “hear” nothing from their own “critical thinking” part of the brain, they will wrongly assume it MUST be valid.
And, so long as you can keep their fear “ramped up”, the critical thinking remains mute, and trying to “talk sense” to them, by pointing out a mask to keep out covid is like a chain link fence to keep out mosquitos, etc will fall on “deaf ears”.
Such contrary thoughts need their own internal “critical thinking” part of the brain to resonate in, and it remains mute.
To recap, intelligence, education, affluence have NOTHING to do with it. Many well educated, intelligent and wealthy people fell for the bernie madoff scam, as he “made off” with their $.
Their GREED muted their critical thinking, but it can’t be reiterated enough ANY emotion, like for instance LOYALTY, supporting your team, even humor, ANY emotional responce SO LONG AS IT IS STRONG ENOUGH, will work.
or, in the middle of a process to determine the legitimacy of an election, the process is interrupted by a loud mob of frightening people.
Ramp up the fear enough and your target will stop thinking altogether.
Curl up in the fetal position and cry for Mommy.
(Or whoever turns up to play “Mommy”.)
20 years in the car business taught me to set emotion aside when making decisions. A good real life example.
Critical thinking skills tell a husband that he ought to involve his wife in the process before buying a car. He gets his car serviced and while waiting, he decides to check to see what it would cost to trade in on a new model. After getting the price, he’s getting ready to say that he needs to go home and talk it over with his wife.
His critical thinking skills have kicked in. Before he gets ready to say that though, I sidetrack him. “ I couldn’t believe it but a husband last week said he had to get approval from his wife. Isn’t that the sorriest thing you ever heard of ? “. Next thing you know he’s driving his new car home wondering how he’s going to explain this to his newly discovered divorce attorney.
Two different thoughts altogether, one having nothing to do with the other. It worked 80% of the time. And when I quit drinking, I had to get out of the car business. Thank God.
Brainwashed.
Tell-A-Vision.
Willfully ignorant. There is no one so blind as one who will not see.
They don’t need to cover their tracks since the media, GOP, DOJ, etc., do nothing. Also, Fionnagh is right, even PhDs can be dimwits.
They don’t care about covering thier tracks, they want us to know that we have been conquered.
I agree. They want us to know they lord over us and they’re a nothing we can do about it. We are dealing with literal luciferians and evil people. They are mocking God by mocking the truth.
At this point what reason do they have to cover their tracks? They control every major city in America. They control every single mainstream media outlet, including Fox. They control the House, the Senate, and the Whitehouse (or will in a week). They have the judges, the local DA’s, the secretaries of state. They control the culture. They control tech and the means of information dissemination. And they control pretty much every federal bureaucracy, including the Pentagon.
This is what happens when America sleeps through 32 years of George Bush, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama (and Joe Biden), and … now Joe Biden.
At this point it’s just they’re just saying “so what?”
100% correct Whiskey Sam.
But we took the “high road” with the Bush dynasty and the Paul Ryan kleptocracy, so we could FEEL good about ourselves.
Of course my crude, vulgar, mangy feline self didn’t, and I was ignored by family & friends alike. Now, I am like, welcome to the friggin’ party folks. Too late. Piss off.
The high road is sometimes nothing more than a head on the end of a long ass pike.
Very well said. I concur, sadly.
80 million pissed off armed marks they just conned is what they are afraid of.
And spitting in our faces to boot.
Mamet Principle.
I have worked with many PhD scientists (including climate) that go along just to keep their grant money flowing.
They’re not stupid. They’re willfully blind and intentionally ignorant. And evil.
Big difference.
The mistake we make is believing that they care what we think or will do. They now do want they want to do brazenly and with impunity.
They don’t have to over their tracks. Their voters are delusional, stupid, and fully demoralized into accepting whatever has to happen to cement their party’s power.
And Covid will magically disappear or the numbers will plummet after the “Inaugeration”!! All due to Biden’s ingenious methods!
AND THE VIOLENCE…Kamala and Joe will plead, beg and ANTIFA, BLM will oblige..but you can bet there will be $$$ traded and ante’d up….
Yep! And a miracle CURE will be found I suspect!
Courtesy of China, who have had it the entire time.
Cuomo is the greatest, if you don’t believe me read the book he wrote about himself.
well I guess that Cuomo has to do something after he ruined half of the doses he was given by the President and now he has to throw something else in there to take the heat off and besides that
This covid mess was just that They were trying to ruin the ecomony and Joe Biden will do nothing to change that look out for the next few months for all of our jobs to disappear and go back over seas and there will be hundreds of thousands of Illegals who will let in and they will be the ones hired
Dirt bags every one of them and that also includes more than one Republican too
Actually absent some other unforeseen shock the economy is going to do quite well this Spring and Summer (maybe longer than that). As the vaccines roll out (others like J&J’s are also on the way) and Governors like Cuomo decide to loosen up more businesses will begin opening and more people will begin going back to work. President Trump himself predicted a tremendous economy in 2021. Add in the stimulus the Democrats will propose (with most of the GOP joining in on the pork fest) and it will be good times for a while at least with GDP growth 6%+.
The negative impacts of gross overspending, top-down politicized spending (aka Solyndra), increased taxes and regulation will take a while to be felt and likely be overwhelmed in the short run (most/all of 2021). Democrats may try and time things to create a sugar high in 2022 to help them in the midterms, but typically they aren’t very good at that.
I don’t think they need more help in the midterms.
If we did, indeed, see the new normal in elections they are set.
Robert, that’s the point that has been lost in all the talk of mobs and impeachment. Where is the talk of obvious election fraud? It’s gone ‘disappeared’ just as they set it up to be.
What happened to the people’s representatives in the senate? They are ‘disappeared’ also. Of course, they were always for the Uniparty and against Trump and the people who supported him. It is my hope people see this now.
“President Trump himself predicted a tremendous economy in 2021. “
He said that IF he was re-elected.
He also said that the stock market would crash and the nation would be locked down if Biden took office. And I don’t think we can rule out either of those things from happening.
I will not be spending anymore big money, just completed total renovation of house indoor and out. We spent a lot of money putting people to work and was happy to do it because everyone who came, which was a total of at least 50 people loved our President. I am not sure what the future holds so I will be holding on to my money like I did during the Obama years.
Because Biden/Harris are going in and Trump is on his way out. That’s why. What a shock. Not.
I actually think Biden may try to force mandatory masks in private and public. He will also create a economic train wreck for all of us to burden. The use of Covid as a cover for other laws that entrench their power has only begun.
Will be interesting to see if certain locations (like Blue Cities) suddenly acquire “herd immunity” which exempt them for national mandates, while other locations (MAGA areas) remain “hot zones” which will “require” extended enforcement.
Bingo!!!
It is coming, you know it.
Steep price to pay, fellow MA citizen.
But we get to go herd.
I’d say we kn for 2 months of this at least. It is is away to psychologically force us to bow to their tyranny.
I expect though he say it is only safe for liberal dingbat businesses to reopen.
yes inded, I as just wondering if the synagogues could open for prayers now.
“Is this the inflection point where we discover that COVID was weaponized for maximum political value?”
We knew COVID was weaponized. Doesn’t matter any more.
The people who believed in Covid will never admit they were wrong. The cost is too high for them to do so.
..and that’s how Joe & Ho will end the “Trump” plague..
Everyone will go back to dying from pneumonia, flu, heart disease, etc. like we used to.
Matilda should be proud. Pffffffff t
We discovered the politicization months ago, and it’s been obvious for months.
But since the corporate media declared such thought conspiracy theory, the masses never caught on. The masses never will, because the corporate media will throw this 180 degree reversal into the memory hole.
Those watching any SocialJusticeball games over the weekend might have noticed there were fans in the stands at Buffalo, NY on Saturday- for the first time all season. Apparently the “playoff experience” is more valuable than the proverbial “grandma’s life.” I expected this dikat from Obergruppenfuehrer Cuomo would quickly follow when I saw those fans, but didn’t realize it would be today.
Here in still fully locked down CA, in my county of 1.2 million people, we’ve had 47,000 corona cold cases since March (4% of the population), 390 corona cold deaths (.03% of the population), 193 of which were in long term care faciltiies. In other words, the corona cold “pandemic” was survived by 99.97% of the residents of this county.
Yet the economic destruction in CA has been orders of magnitude greater than the corona cold. It was never about the virus, it has always been about control. I’ll go on record right now saying Comrade Gavin will not reverse his lockdown orders; they will likely remain in place for all of calendar year 2021. God help us.
Does this mean all the new yorkers infesting other states can now go home?
God I wish.
Colorado’s population would drop by 30% overnight. We have endured 50 years of NY liberals sending their leftist spawn here for college, who, of course, never left.
If so many lives weren’t ruined, I’d laugh out loud.
Amazing, Joe cured covid just like we knew he would!
Cowboy up, that’s ‘Joebama’ to you. 🙂 BTW, love the name.
I am sure that there are plenty here that could come with far more convincing fictions, then what were given as reasons for official actions on the world-wide “COVID Pandemic” to date.
All planned. The enemy is within the gates. I don’t even trust the Supreme Court now.
We need a new party.
Trust the Supreme Court?
The supreme court are the same as the uni party.
And they’re all exposed without a smidgen of doubt.
The three new picks are McConnell’s picks, not Trump’s.
That tells you everything.
The conservative picks appear to be in the Robert’s conservative mold.
agree!! They are just as corrupt (controlled behinds the scenes?) as the rest of the govt
So many people predicted it this that I can’t recall who to credit. Hopefully China Flu sanity will spread to Canada soon.
Just like the race riots, COVID was going to cease to be a concern once the Ruling class was back at the helm.
Being predictable doesn’t make them any less execrable.
6 months late, BILLIONS of $ short.
Perhaps as much as anything else, this manipulation of Covid for political purposes, should make it clear to all, that our government is infested with CCP.
ABSOLUTE amoral lack of concern for the death and destruction they cause, in their ruthless pursuit of power.
When your enemy TELLS you with their words, and SHOWS you with their actions, WHO they are, and WHAT they are capable of,….
BELIEVE THEM!!
Does anyone doubt that a politoburo composed of the likes of Cuomo, Pelosi and McConnell would not hestate to order a tianamen square style massacre of millions, if they thought it was necesary to retain power?
As Sundancr says “Do NOT look away” cause THIS is the enemy we face.
THEY have the WILL to do “whatever it takes” to grasp and retain absolute Power, and the UNITY of PURPOSE, as well.
The fundamental question is,….
DO WE?
“Does anyone doubt that a politoburo composed of the likes of Cuomo, Pelosi and McConnell would not hestate to order a tianamen square style massacre of millions, if they thought it was necesary to retain power?”
What they’re hoping is that they’ll push just a few of us into doing something that will make their actions appear justified.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOLKS. And do NOT attend any more rallies in DC for right now.
Yes, the narrative they want to push is that Trump supporters are “domestic terrorists.” And if they can’t bait a Trump supporter into doing something stupid, they will just stage it themselves. They want the guns.
I agree, it’s giving them what they want. The agitators will be there to try for more violence that will justify more outrage and back their play for taking away more rights. I don’t know what we should be doing, but giving them what they want is not it.
They have the will because they have no moral control over their actions.
They are ruthless, and they will not be stopped by the FBI or the courts or the prosecutors.
We are open season targets.
And that’s another reason to deregister from the republican party NOW, before the new administration.
Your political party affiliation is public knowledge and easily accessed on the internet.
“The first time” Every message through every medium, every picture or vid, every skype or anything close, every sentence uttered in the vicinity of a smart phone or virtual assistant, every text, every web page ever visited, every like or dislike ever sent is recorded. I once challenged a SEAR instructor to find me on the web, I keep a low profile. He came back with a stack of info. I had to buy him a drink.
His shadow real estate company has probably purchased enough downtown property to make his clan wealthy forever…………… plus …………… opportunity zones …get it…………….
Did I miss something? “smartly and safely”? You are the only one that has been preventing that, Governor. President Trump didn’t shut down your economy, you did.
In a few weeks, I predict the flu and pneumonia will suddenly appear across the country, and at the exact time, the CDC will stop using their bogus testing results . Joementia will claim victory for the steep decline in cases. Total fraud just like the election.
oh like this! https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-01-10-biden-and-fauci-covid-19-fix-pcr-tests.html
And the few “real” Biden voters will drink it up like a pitcher of kool aid with an extra cup of sugar.
So we can now go to funerals for people buried months ago too?
Surprised? I’m not.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Who couldn’t predict this?
No matter how old, tired, and worn out their playbook is, I guarandamntee you, there will be conservatives who argue to embrace the olive branch and forget all of Cuomo’s BS to make POTUS look bad for the election.
Dear God in heaven, the left continues to give us more reasons to utterly despise their very existence.
You bet, big payday coming for all the lefty States… EVERYONE is gonna get PAID…
That’s because he smells big $$$ coming his way.
PT said the virus would go away the day after the election. It started to, then they realized they needed a little more political fear mongering and medical data malpractice to hide the election hearings, public investigations, and peaceful protests.
FDA Admits PCR Tests Give False Results, Prepares Ground For Biden To “Crush” Casedemic
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/fda-admits-pcr-tests-give-false-results-prepares-ground-biden-virus-rescue-miracle
I went for an ultrasound a few weeks ago. My tech/nurse was a President Trump supporter and we shared a lot of frustration about the fraudulent election. My mask was driving me crazy so I asked her if I could pull it down so I didn’t hyperventilate and she laughed and said of course. She then said, “don’t tell anyone I told you this but our facility stopped taking temperatures the day after the election”. Unbelievable 🙁
TJ, I think we’ve been scammed. I’ve always been skeptical of the Covid test. Early on I read an article of what Nobel Laurent Kerry Mullis had to say about the test he invented to STUDY viruses and the amplification procedure used.
Good to see the FDA getting on board with this now that Trump is gone. A weaponized virus used to instill fear and panic and destroy civil liberties. Who would have thought it? Trump Did.
“If you read that and said… “wha, wait.. huh?”, you would not be alone. After initiating lock-down measures that collapsed the New York economy because there was no other option…. suddenly the risks of economic collapse are worse than the COVID-19 threat, which is the same message President Trump has been sharing for months. What gives?”
I know you meant that tongue in cheek – obviously we all KNOW what gives. Absolutely transparent and disgusting, as is every move these leftist communists make.
So, is his Twitter feed full of New Yorkers calling him out for crashing the economy for political reasons?
Covid was the vehicle to isolate us and distance us from each other. It was the vehicle that allowed the massive vote fraud we just witnessed and the coup that just happened in this country. And make no mistake about it…
Covid is the vehicle that has now positioned a huge portion of the population to be in dire straits and far more amenable to government bailouts and handouts.
We have been set up to begin accepting communism. Make no mistake about it.
Yep.
Who in their right mind would stay in that state knowing they have pending legislation that can put you away for life if they deem you are a “Trump terrorist” .
What we have learned is they don’t need evidence just unnamed source. They make the rules, they control judge and jury so who would stay one of the highest taxed state in the country just waiting for the left to lock you up if you look wrong?
My advice, get out while you can and hope they bankrupt the state.
Pritzger is doing pretty much the same in Illinois. Gee, what a coincidence. Be interesting to see what Newsome does in CA.
Comrade Gavin will not budge, the lockdowns will go on here forever. He has already said he will not order the teachers back in schools so kids can attend in person again. Never mind that his kids have been attending in person classes all along at their posh private school. Gavin is a tool.
Nothing makes me angrier then what they’re doing to our children 🙁
It is child abuse. They are he least at risk yet paying the highest price (other than the adults losing their jobs and businesses).
Exactly Will
Like a well-oiled corruption machine. 😉
I said it after the first leftist city canceled an event that they would shut everything down to drive Trump out of office. Had to be in early April.
It was plain as day what the plan was.
And at the next election the whole sorry episode will be “forgotten” as the media praise the selfless efforts of Cuomo in saving New York. Same in Michigan. I’d say same in California but for the recall movement gaining steam to can their tyrant.
I hope NY burns the heck down and up and NEVER regains its power, charm, glory, etc….Cuomo, DeBlasio and the ilk of NY DESERVE to die an economic death.
But the rest of us DON’T DESERVE IT.
jwmson, won’t happen as the dems are ready to bail the prolific spending govt of NY out as soon as possible. Same for Illinois and California.
My SO was right. As soon as Biden is in they’ll open back up soon afterwards. And Harris Biden will start bailing out blue states and minority owned businesses to reward them for their support.
And now watch for the JoeBama trillions in bailout money going to the Democrat states. The steal was in the works for a few years and now those states that allowed Antifa and BLM to riot all summer, will get their financial reward.
Also, follow the money. I’m sure the bean counters are screaming their heads off about the emptiness of state coffers.
Read on PowerLine today that Gov. Walz in Minnesota is doing the same thing. He has introduced changes to his lockdown that will start opening up the state. Not completely yet, but a start. Would not be in the least bit surprised if California doesn’t announce something like it very soon.
All the Democrat Governors of blue states will probably soon start easing up on their lockdowns. No doubt they have all been issued their talking points already. This was completely predictable. As soon as Biden (fraudulently) occupies the White House, the MSM will start cheering the “Biden recovery” and then the “Biden economy”. Won’t be long now.
The only thing unpredictable about this is the timing. One would have predicted Cuomo to wait until Jan. 21 or thereafter to test the waters.
Why? he has been amply rewarded for what he did to destroy NY State.
. Killer Cuomo has been granted unlimited power by our feckless legislators. It’s all supposed to end April 21 but no one really believes it won’t be extended.
Meanwhile, he is pushing a bill that will set up concentration camps for people “suspected of having infectious diseases.”
Well color me shocked, slap me with a cod and wake me up. Yawn like we didn’t see that coming. He’s utterly destroyed the city and using his name and the word smart in the same sentence if an oxi-moron.
From Day One the Chi Com Corona was going to be the weapon to take out our President Trump and his supporters. The Chi Coms were enabled by the highest level government officials in every agency and bureaucracy.
The following thread, though long, is one of the best source documents that proves what happened, how the Chi Coms and their fellow travelers plotted and schemed to destroy our country with the CCP Flu Coup. Every assertion is rigorously fact checked with citations added.
I don’t know how much longer this will be available so I urge anyone who is interested in knowing the truth about Chi Com Corona/Chinese Flu to save it somewhere, in some form. I have read and curated nearly 2000 articles about Covid and this is one of the best.

It’s a long read, but I highly recommend that everyone take the time to read it.
When you (Cuomo) make vaccine givers throw away doses because they don’t have enough of the ‘right’ people to give them to, it’s no surprise you are running out of vaccine.
Vaccines don’t keep. There sometimes is more in the bottle (an extra dose or two), combined with no-shows or people who are suddenly sick. So there are doses with no one to give them to. Many States are using those extra doses on people further down the list, but that are there. An example: shots given at the health department… extra doses are given to other county workers or people just randomly in the building doing business.
I realize there is some abuse possible with this approach, but someone who would try and game the system to get a vaccine, heck let them have an extra dose. Why? They are likely to be the type who is out and about more than average and getting them vaccinated cuts the risk for others.
I. Cant. Stand. This.
Not at all ?
