Since we're conjecturing, I believe this presentation is strong, but doesn't look far enough back to present important information that led to what you've shared. Let's take a trip back to an earlier time for that.
Trump's initial travel ban from China was at the end of January, 2020. It went against all previous pandemic planning guides, including the CDC and WHO's. Travel bans for respiratory infectious disease like influenza were demonstrably and acknowledged as ineffective. Strongly cautioned against because they are political acts that destabilize world order. Remember, he was called xenophobic for issuing that travel ban. The ineffectiveness of them known prior to 2020 turned out to be true, no jurisdiction could seal itself off. Not even remote islands.
It was a political act. Which provoked a political response. It was the moment that infectious disease became a political weapon, just as pandemic health experts had warned against for decades before 2020. Political infectious disease was going to be diagnosed and treated with political social and behavioral science. Instead of natural medical and virological science.
A quick look back a little further reveals that Pres. Trump had just made two high profile speeches, to the UN and WEF in the weeks ahead of the China travel ban. In those speeches he threw down the gauntlet, "America would never be socialist!" A white glove tossed at the global socialist feet. A challenge to a duel in bygone days.
After Trump's travel ban global actors and domestic political opportunists formulated a behavioral science pandemic response plan, abandoning the medical science plans produced by the best minds and large research budgets for decades. Epidemiology is also informed by behavioral sciences, not just medical. And immediately adopted the Nonpharmaceutical Intervention tool/weapon of fear. Weaponized fear. Under the cover of behavioral science that declared populations needed to have their flawed risk perceptions "fixed" so we would behave properly and avoid each other, comply with edicts that eliminated essential rights and liberty. Follow The Science (TM) - just not the type of science you believed they meant, hiding psychological manipulations in the ambiguity of the word, "science."
Behaviorists diagnosed us as suffering from "optimism bias." We suffered from optimism! So we needed to be sufficiently frightened. Media and Big Tech were enlisted to amplify fear, long known for the "if it bleeds it leads" news model. Intentionally amplified fear. Also known as "terrorizing." The only efficacy that any science shows about masks if they amplify fear, hidden faces do that to the amygdala. Which is why bank robbers and hijackers were the only ones we saw masking faces before 2020. Nine out of ten terrorists prefer wearing masks for a reason greater than hiding their ID. Which is why they've become an essential tool/weapon of the pandemicists.
Behavioral Science is also known as "the Science of Totalitarianism," described as such in the UK Guardian in revelations in March, 2021 by SPI-B behaviorists frightened by how effective and dangerous its application had been on the once free liberal democracy the UK was. Same in the US.
The global socialists saw Trump's challenge, Trump's white glove throw down as an opportunity to win that war for the future of global governance before Trump could figure out what hit him. Foreign and domestic malign actors collaborating to take down western liberal democracies without firing a shot.
Trump was already a bruised and battered president, isolated in his own administration, unable to trust the guidance of his own inner circle. A conjured impeachment trial was just wrapping up as news of Wuhan Flu circling the globe made headlines.
For whatever reason, we can only speculate, this is all speculative, save for the behavioral science protocols we know were deployed, Trump made his fateful decision to shut us down in March. By then the die was cast. And Fauci and Birx...and Jared...knew they held every advantage. America was destined to be a socialist nation, a totalitarian nation, from that moment on. Trump's gambit lost. Or is losing badly. And will take every bit of American and global resolve for freedom fighters to overcome the Leviathan that we're now up against.
Whether Trump's known germophobia, his political calculus, his dislike of China, whatever his reasons influenced that key decision we'll never know. His ego apparently too large to admit how disastrous it was. He knows he wants freedom, Americans want freedom. But he remains asea about why we got here in the first place. Flailing about trying to pin blame elsewhere
With this conjecture of mine shaping my understanding of history I have dissonance in pinning it all on him. He had saboteurs all around him, including his own family (Jared and Ivanka). He's a tragic figure in that sense. And he's struggled and fought harder for a restoration of our constitutional rights and values, individual liberty than most anyone since. He's the only figure with the stature and command to hold the flag of liberty high enough for freedom lovers to rally under. Not even DeSantis can command the energy and fortitude needed to inspire us to regain our freedoms lost. So it's hard to completely reject him.
Problem is, was, that initial moment of hesitation, that flicker in the flame of eternal liberty that he indulged which led us to the present. The totalitarian beast of fear is hard to get control of when let out of its restraints. It runs wild in the public mind, with political opportunists trying to ride it to power and to achieve their agendas. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And it is up to us, We The People, to reclaim our freedom and liberty that are our birthright. It won't be easy. And casualties abound. But we must. A test of if we truly are the land of the free and home of the brave. Will we "pay any price, bear any burden...for the cause of liberty"?
I hope you find this conjecture that precedes your timeline thought-provoking, Jeffrey. And assertions I make in it that are definitive and not just conjecture come from highly credible sources, happy to share with the curious.
