Ben Garrison's The Plannedemic

Trigger warning: right wing conspiracy theory (Check out his cartoon in the link)

The coronavirus is real, but we’ve had many waves of flu viruses throughout the years. Many thousands die each year from the flu. Our elderly and infirmed are the hardest hit. This time the deaths are being magnified by the Fear Porn Channels. Statistics are controlled and manipulated to produce panic and hysteria.

The coronavirus is real, but we’ve had many waves of flu viruses throughout the years. Many thousands die each year from the flu. Our elderly and infirmed are the hardest hit. This time the deaths are being magnified by the Fear Porn Channels. Statistics are controlled and manipulated to produce panic and hysteria.

The Democrats failed with their Russia collusion lie. They failed with impeachment. They are all for this hysteria because they can blame it all on Trump.

Trish Regan was just fired from Fox Business Network because she called out concerns that the Chinese coronavirus was just another attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.

That was too close to the truth for Fox. They fired her.

We now have social distancing to further divide the human race—as if we were all some sort of disease in need of eradication. The corrupt WHO and CDC have us controlled like puppets on strings. We obey without question. Citizens are not allowed to question medical ‘authorities’ without fearing censorship or ridicule. When the time comes for a mandatory vaccine, people will already have become conditioned to obey the medical ‘authorities,’ and it’s all going according to plan.

But plans have a way of not working out sometimes.

What I'd like to write the author. (On the bottom of the website it asserts the Russian Bounty on soldiers is a hoax.  )

Dear Ben,

You must hate the United States more than I thought. If anyone had the ability to launch any illness to hurt President Trump, why would they pick China or Italy? Why not seed it in Washington D.C. and/or Florida from the start? And why assume it would hurt President Trump?

Or does that mean you knew he'd be very bad with dealing with the situation much like you in your fantasy cartoon. I hope you are congratulating yourself on all the conservative deaths and long term health problems you have helped cause. Good for you. You did your part to insure the United States leads the world in known cases. We don't lead the world in known deaths per 1 Million population, but sadly with your help we will probably get there. Right now the UK has that dubious honor in the top 10 case count countries at 651 per 1 Million. The US is currently at 400 per 1 Million. 

You can question the CDC if you want. I'm sure they have a website and you can contact them that way. I'm wondering, did you have the same concerns when Ebola hit our shores? I don't think we will get to martial law, but there are likely checkpoints in our future in various states and for certain various countries worried about our state of infectedness. Parts of Mexico want to shut the border down to not let Americans in. They have enough problems right now. 

The vaccine. I want one, you can avoid it if you want. Not everyone has the luxury to work from home and put out #neverright cartoons and ideas. I find it interesting and pathetic that you make a rich guy you like, Trump a demi-god, and a rich guy apparently you fear, Bill Gates, as a larger than life villain. I really wish you had worked in a hospital or nursing home in March and April here in the tri-state area. I have a feeling it would be harder to cling to your Trump centric delusions.

Let them publish even more ridiculous things. Meanwhile, an Arizona man had his kidney transplant canceled due to the pandemic, an 11 in Florida died, and a 21 year old penn state student died. More of that will continue. People who think they are reasonable will be tarred with this if they continue to support trump. The virus doesn’t care who started it, and our only real response is to deal with it competently

He's got more.

Globalists switched off the “deadly pandemic” to accommodate the BLM protests, then switched it back on as soon as the protests subsided.

We can resist by refusing to wear masks, which are far more harmful to our health than the extremely small chance of dying from the virus.

And more if you like cultural stupidity.

Good, force people to have accept this is what they support, even if they disavow it. Conservatives paint anyone who disagrees with them as supporters of a radical left wing agenda. Paint them with the same brush. See how they like it.

Happens on this board. I am a moderate independent. But some of the conservatives think I support the entire democratic platform, not realizing how far right they have swung. They might as well own their pert in this change.

Interesting article on Ben Garrison from 2017.

While Garrison might reasonably complain about the distribution of wealth and the fallacies of the 2008 Financial Bailout, he also peddled the Infowars, Zero Hedge, Breitbart conspiracy nonsense that conflated the neoliberal consensus with outright conspiracy. Why do people die of cancer? Not because of a neoliberal healthcare system that has turned a public service into a for-profit business, but because the government sprays Chemtrails on GOP voters! Why are our choices constricted by two parties? Not a word about the increasingly obsolete Electoral College or the Constitution that demands it; rather, it’s nonsense about obscure academics doing obscure things.

In other words, while Garrison believed the world was broken in many of the same ways as the Left, he disagreed almost entirely as to why. For Garrison, it was a shadow conspiracy of elites using mind control, 50 year old academic theory, and 25 year old UN panels to corral hardworking middle aged Americans like himself into increasingly elaborate forms of social control.

What is so horrifying about Garrison’s work is that it represents a coherent — though almost completely wrong — approach to the world. It takes reasonable complaints and inflates them to insanity; it espouses nihilism as though it were a cleansing rather than total fucking anarchy. It is a man who sees termites and decides to burn down his entire neighborhood.

Who is Ben Garrison?

[billisonboard]

"Hi Dear, I'm home. I got Chinese."

"Cool. How was your day?"

"Uneventful. Yours?"

"Same old, same old.. But something new.  I overheard on the subway that Bill Gates took over the world this morning."

"Wow. Kinda wondered when he would get around to doing that. Guess today was the day."

"Yep, apparently it was.  Hey, you want to check out Netflix tonight. I got an email about a new movie."

"Sounds good."

From Wikipdia. You may have noticed his cartoons. His Trump has a full head of hair and is drawn with a more manly physique.

Ben Garrison is an American political cartoonist.[3] He identifies as a libertarian. His cartoons have been widely promoted among the alt-right, sometimes in the form of edited versions by online trolls that incorporate anti-Semitic content. He has produced cartoons that showcase sexist, racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-vaccine, climate change denial, and conspiracy theory content.[4][5][6][7][8] His cartoons often lionize conservative figures and nationalist politicians such as President Donald Trump.[9][3][10]

In a 2015 interview with Breitbart News, he said he did not support any presidential candidate in the 2016 election, but said he admired Trump for "shaking up the neocon-controlled Republican Party."[7] He lives in Lakeside, Montana.

OK, I spent too much time talking to "right leaning" relatives over the past few days.    They all say one thing (Loudly complain about the masks and the supposed deaths and the supposed spread of the virus) and do a different thing (wear a mask, social distance, try to avoid crowds).  So far they don't know anyone with covid 19 (or they are not saying it) and they don't know anyone who's died from it (or they are not saying it.)     They all do say "if you aren't stupid, you won't die from it".  

Maybe Ben Garrison is trying intentionally to kill off all the stupid right leaning people??    I don't think that's too far fetched.  Most of the right leaning people I know are rather judge-y and "holier than thou" and generally seem to 'look down' on people they don't like (or think they don't like).    I can totally see where they might not feel all that bad if some of the people like themselves that they consider "stupid" were to die from COVID19. 

If I was a right leaning person - I might be alittle worried that maybe my fellow right leaning people might want me to "die" at some point -- if I no longer serve a purpose or if I were to speak out in disagreement with them...

Hmmmmmm ........... he must belong to the 'flat earth' society, amongst others.

Thanks

Used to be these people would hide in their houses wearing their tinfoil hats waiting fearfully for the UN troops hiding in the hollow moon to invade in their  black helicopters. 

Now they hide in their houses but spend their time on the internets, accumulating into groups like QAnon.

sigh.

When I was younger, I thought most of the conspiracy whack jobs were ultra-left wing, hippies - clamoring on about the Vietnam war and whatever. Larry Finkelstein. Did I only believe that because I was raised in a republican household in a republican area, or have the right wing loonies picked up the slack when all those hippies died from LSD overdoses?

“Died from LSD overdoses”. Oh great, another conspiracy theory.😎

You mean, the government had them all extinguished? I heard that may happen.

I like the way commentators think the pandemic was designed to upset the US election.

I'm sure the desperate and dying of South Africa, and Brazil and South Asia couldn't give a hoot.

Anything to aid in the re-election of Trump will be the norm. The politicizing of masks was step 1. Then the conspiracy you just mentioned. Then that school opening concerns are a deliberate Demo(radicalleftwinganarchists) ploy to defeat Trump. There will be more.

the only problem for Trump is that the Coronavirus doesn't do politics.  therefore, it is going to take advantage of Trump and his policies in a way that Democrats would never do.  it won't go well for him.
