Imagine the million bux we blew by not buying up all the face masks we could find and then re-selling them at 400% or more profit! Longtime truth seeker and Barnes Review editor Paul Angel predicts the next coming crisis and how to cash in. (Well, not exactly, but his satirical piece certainly zeroes in on the current display of naivete’ by brainwashed people worldwide. The Barnes Review is the only magazine in the nation that published the suppressed side of history, and we strongly recommend it to anyone seeking the true side of history.

How to Create a Panic and Profit, Too
I think I have a great idea to make a ton of money. Maybe you’d be interested in investing with me in my business “Cane & Walker.” (No, it’s not a new law firm.) First, we need to get as many canes and walkers as we can get our hands on. If we can’t get walkers, I think we could make as many canes as we need by sanding down a good, straight tree branch and putting a rubber tip on the end.
Let me explain. The primary thing we must do for Cane & Walker to succeed is to create a panic. For this, we are going to need the mainstream news media. Nobody can create a panic better than they. Here’s our pitch. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “in the United States, every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall. Every 20 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.” Pretty shocking, right? I was surprised by these statistics. But do you realize what this means? Every hour, three older Americans die from a fall. Thus, every day, 72 Americans die from falling. This means that 2,100 Americans die every month from falls and 25,200 Americans die in a year from falls. That’s 252,000 in the last 10 years! (It really is a serious problem.)
But this is even harder to believe: Every 11 seconds an American is hospitalized from a fall. That is astonishing. That means about 7,854 Americans are being hospitalized every day from falls. That’s 2,866,710 people hospitalized from falls in the United States every year!
Obviously, the vast majority of these people survive. But that’s not important. You don’t create a real panic by admitting how many people survive. A good panic is only created if you focus on the really bad news, not the good.
And here’s where the fearmongers of the mainstream news media come in. We suggest they should begin their daily news broadcasts like this: “News flash! Winnifred Wamboldt of Weyauwega, Wisconsin has wiped out in her Winnebago while washing her woolens and wended her way to Walhalla.” Twenty minutes later, we’d have them cut in again: “News flash! Cuthbert Crogan of Crabapple Corners, Colorado has crumpled and croaked after catching his crutch on the carpet.” And so on and so on every 20 minutes, every hour, 24 hours a day.
Once frightened watchers began tuning in, the reports would include every person of any age who was hospitalized from a fall. News flashes would interrupt programming every 11 seconds with a breathless update.
We won’t let them report on the recoveries, or on the people who were sent home with minor injuries. We’ll only let them report on the deaths and the falls in general. We could include worldwide falls and really frighten people.
I guarantee you that, after a few weeks of this, people will be so scared of falling and either injuring themselves or dying from a fall, they will be buying our canes and walkers by the millions. Heck, I think we can even start selling walkers to 18-year-old kids who will be so scared of falling they won’t leave their homes without one.
So, if you are interested in investing in Cane & Walker, let me know. Just understand, we can’t have a “plan-demic” of falling without the mainstream news media.
Why do I mention all this, and why take it seriously?
This is exactly how the mainstream news media has been reporting on the China Virus pandemic. By only concentrating on the numbers of people who have died (about 1% to 3% of those infected), and not on those who have recovered or never caught it, the media has mass-conditioned the people of the world for global police state lockdowns.
I believe that if they had wanted to, the media could have created a panic every flu season for the last 100 years. All they had to do was broadcast every death and ignore every recovery and this could have been achieved. After all, influenza is dangerous, and it really is scary. As many as 50,000 to 75,000 Americans die from it every year.
As far as this Covid-19 goes, according to LiveScience, “Patients above 80 years of age had a fatality rate of 14.8%. [That’s an 85.2% chance of survival.] Patients ages 70 to 79 years had a fatality rate of 8%. [That’s a 92% rate of survival.] And those ages 60 to 69 had a fatality rate of 3.6% [a 96.4% rate of survival].” I think I’d take those odds.
LiveScience says, “Younger age groups had lower fatality rates; 1.3% for those 50 to 59; 0.4% for the age group 40 to 49; and just 0.2% for people ages 10 to 39.) In Italy, which has a high proportion of residents over age 65 and bad air quality, the fatality rate is strikingly high, around 13% as of March 25.” This is likely because tens of thousands more people were infected but never showed symptoms and thus were never tested. The real death rate there is probably more like the rest of the world. But who really knows?
Listen: This disease, as you can see above, is very dangerous for older people (like me). This segment of the population needs to be protected and should quarantine itself until any viral pandemic comes and goes. People in the healthcare industry have to be extremely careful not to infect older people and also not to release it into the healthy public. People should wear masks if they are sick, but better they stay home and away from family members if they’re not feeling well. And, for goodness sake, make fast, free testing available for all so we really know what is going on. We could be wrong about all this. Right now, people are guessing. We don’t like guessing. We like facts.
But one thing we shouldn’t do is to let the mainstream news media be in charge of disseminating information about health crises. They are untrustworthy and have their own agenda. First, they have politicized it beyond belief. Second, their main agenda, as always, is profits. Maybe they’ll be interested in investing in Cane & Walker. With their support, our success will be guaranteed.
