The Worst “Miscalculation” in Human History?
Just when you thought the coronascam couldn’t get any stupider, along comes a new curveball.
Take that, conspiracy theorists! Now Trump has the ‘rona! So when your 74-year-old, obese, out-of-shape God Emperor dies of the COVID, even you crazy anti-maskers will swallow the COVID fear porn and submit to the Great Reset, right?
(The true believers aren’t worried, though. Apparently when you spell “well” with a capital I, it means you’re using 18-dimensional Candyland to actually win the presidential (s)election from your hospital bed . . . or something.)
But while the world was distracted by the latest round of “who’s got the cooties,” they might have missed this headline:
COVID-19 Fatality Rate “Worst Miscalculation†in Human History – PhD Student in Epidemiology
You could be forgiven for having missed this little doozy when it dropped five weeks ago, but let’s take a moment to examine it, shall we? . . .
Want to know more about the worst “miscalculation” in human history and why it isn’t really a miscalculation at all? Then you won’t want to miss this week’s edition of The Corbett Report Subscriber.

Did the treatments they gave Trump alter his DNA to make him more compliant?
Trump is already compliant to the agenda….the OTHER bunch of crooks who want his job may kill him when he gets back to the white house though… I’d think its easier for them to control the situation there rather then in a hospital.
Some very strange goings on is afoot. The two main medicines, one still in testing phase and the other a financial windfall for Fauci, given together, is very strange indeed.
Oh Wow!
James Corbett says:
“This month in the subscriber-exclusive video, James reflects on an old video(s) that was long ago deleted by GooTube.”
These videos were so cool to watch!
I well remember the era.
Thanks James!
I am only able to get the third one to play for some reason.
Same here Steve.
Thanks. Sometimes I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or just have old equipment.
@Steve Smith
I was able to play the first 2 using Windows Media Player, and the 3rd one would only play for me using the DivX video player.
I believe that the first two are .mpg files. Windows Media Player will open them.
The last one, the Paris video is .mov and it just opened for me.
Caveat…I am NOT tech savvy.
ZAMZAR.COM
This is a free converter. It is fast. I have repeatedly used it before on different types of files, but you have only one or two daily freebies.
https://www.zamzar.com/
I believe that I even used this back around 2008 when I was making YouTube videos for our North Texans for 9/11 Truth group and other YouTube channels.
All of these files should open in any even remotely modern player. I see that on my end Firefox doesn’t load them in the inbuilt players, but offers to download the files.
I have gotten so used to using my iPad for everything that I didn’t think to try a computer. Duh. I will try to play them tomorrow at work.
For those that don’t want MickeySoft and Media Player tracking them:
Use an alternate Browser (besides Google Chrome)
and for those instances when a file link doesn’t come with player:
VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

The final paragraph of James Corbett’s 10/4/2020 article “The Worst “Miscalculation†in Human History?” really sums it up…
The Great Reset is not the result of a “miscalculation.â€
It is the most calculated event in human history.
And don’t let the lying media tell you otherwise.
These paragraphs from Corbett’s cited article “COVID-19 Fatality Rate “Worst Miscalculation†in Human History – PhD Student in Epidemiology” question what’s in the cards…
…Why is there so much information being shared that completely contradicts the narrative of our federal health regulatory agencies and organizations like the WHO? Is there a battle for our perception happening right now? Is our consciousness being manipulated? Why is there so much conflicting information if everything is crystal clear? Why are alternative treatments that have shown tremendous amounts of success being completely ignored and ridiculed? What’s going on here, and how much power do governments have when they are able to silence the voice of so many people? Should we not be examining information openly, transparently, and together?
Is the new coronavirus, like 9/11, a catalyst for a shift in human consciousness. Are people ‘waking up’ as a result of what has, is and will transpire?
I believe people are “waking up”, people who would have never “gone down the rabbit hole.” It’s been a catalyst for many people, including my significant other who is a pretty “regular” type of thinker. I tried to share JC’s work a few years ago when I first started listening to his podcasts, late 2016-2017 but he couldn’t handle it. It was too much and at that time seemed like something that didn’t really touch my life in a tangible way until the Covid scam happened.
My husband has a science background and when the news of a state of emergency was first announced despite the fact that there were no bodies dropping in the streets nor any “surge” happening at the hospital
I work at, started questioning the narrative. He found Dr. Wodarg’s website and showed it to me and then we started watching JC’s work together. We also started watching John Titus’s videos together as well. My husband took some bigger professional risks than I have taken by sharing material that contradicts the fake science on his LinkedIn page.
I think the shift in consciousness for many everyday types of people means that we don’t know yet what will transpire. We know what “they” want to manifest, but we now have a better chance of stopping it.
cu.h.j
If Covid was what we thought India and South Africa would look like the black death had gone thru them… I was scared at the start
ah, ah, aren’t you one of the ones who was denigrating me for calling the whole thing a hoax, because you work in a hospital and people are really sick, blah, blah, blah??? Or was that another cuhj?
I think the virus is real. I believe in viruses that’s true. I also have had 3 colleagues get sick this year, 2 of them very ill. But I never denigrated anyone here. The reaction is a hoax in my opinion. I’ve seen people end up on ventilators from influenza b and there was never any shut down for that.
Find me my posts where I denigrated you and re post it if that’s true.

Michigan Supreme Court Strikes Down Gov. Whitmer’s State of Emergency Order
https://jonathanturley.org/2020/10/03/michigan-supreme-court-strikes-down-gov-whitmers-state-of-emergency-order/#more-163734
EXCERPTS
In a recent column in the New York Times, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer criticized President Donald Trump for not issuing a national order making the wearing of masks mandatory – a pledge made by Vice President Joe Biden raising serious constitutional questions. Now, Whitmer is having her broad interpretation of state executive authority checked by the Michigan Supreme Court, which found that she violated the Constitution with her extension of the state of emergency.
The Supreme Court found that Whitmer lacked authority under two laws — the Emergency Management Act from 1976 and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act from 1945. Notably, before the court’s opinion, advocacy groups submitted more than 539,000 signatures in a bid to repeal the 1945 law.
Yet the Michigan Supreme Court has now ruled that neither law gave Whitmer the authority to continue the state of emergency or issuing unilateral orders past April 30th. Justice Stephen J. Markman authored the majority opinion and wrote:
“We conclude that the Governor lacked the authority to declare a ‘state of emergency’ or a ‘state of disaster’ under the EMA after April 30, 2020, on the basis of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, we conclude that the EPGA is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government– including its plenary police powers– and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely.
As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers.†…
… This case came before the Court after a federal district court certified questions of state law to be addressed on the constitutionality of Whitmer’s actions….

Jackie Schlegel of Texans for Vaccine Choice speaks at the October 3rd Austin rally
QUEUED VIDEO

CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES (CPS) & forced vaccines without consent
During Jackie’s speech, she discusses CPS in Texas. Often, CPS is called to take children away from their parents or guardians on a temporary basis. There has been a strong push by hidden forces to make a law which gives CPS the authority to immediately vaccinate any child in their care.
I’ve witnessed this well financed covert campaign which will demonize any elected state representative who opposes the forced vaccination of children in the care of CPS. I was amazed at the string of NGO’s which were originally labeled as “Texanâ€, but could be tracked to a variety of “non-profits†ending in New York City.

Wow. Great article with compelling hyperlinks that synthesizes and puts into powerful perspective the contrived corona crisis. Material that I can use with my students.
Thanks again Mr Corbett for planning my classes for me.
All those experts. All those cited Universities and educational backgrounds. All those Public Health affiliations and other Affiliations. You will notice these expert groups are almost always photographed with close-up facial images. In your face, so to speak. The network of this Cabal was in the works long long ago. Yes, they point out great discrepancies. But they leave the LIE untouched Virus?
Yet, the door is left open for the villain Covid to return, they never could prove Sars1 existed. Let alone all the rest. Virus Mania in 2007 shows the virus lie research for years, and the bs test that Torsten again wrote about in James article.
AS long as scientism of technocracy is allowed to reign and pure science is disregarded this will never end. Everyone is too damn lazy to read, or follow little heard of names that have been silenced or murdered. Whether you value knowledge or want to be entertained is personal choice.
PAN=Baphomet All DEMIC=Democide
Georges Lemaitre has had and affect on the worldview of the entire planet, (Big Bang) including you and me. A Catholic priest with years of education as a Jesuit. Look and see the list of those from the same source that have shaped and continue to shape the minds of the entire planet. See where the lies of Vaccination came from. The links have been put up over and over, unfortunately they are not part of Mainstream TV or Internet and do not have the glitz and glamour, of Hollywood productions or directors, who are now full time controlled opposition playwrights.
As long as this death cult can keep the germ theory lie front page, with the lying virus theory that has made trillions over the years, (hell they even made a phony degree called virology, ask the premier virologist Stephan Lanka) regardless if the so called experts ‘appear to be in opposition’ the vaccination hesitancy argument is left untouched. Smooth. Remember the article JC first out out on this dissent that must be quashed if the are to be successful in their premediated poisoned injection being administered.
Cont’d
They have got us hoodwinked cause we’re so damn dumbed down, and seduced by idols. The WHO is using Informed Consent as another door, and it is happening right now. A child sent to school can be administered injection, oral or nasal spray ‘vaccine’ (ya right) without parental consent as Implied Consent happens the minute that child walks through the door and is in a jurisdiction where mandatory vaccines apply.
You can demand in writing to be informed and deliver that to all levels of school authority. No parameters or specifications are given to either party in the requirement of Informed Consent for either party. It is a lie. The WHO leaves no stone unturned and THE LAWYERS know it.
There are so many lies and is so much fraud it’s impossible to keep up to it daily. We spent almost 5 hrs on a zoom meeting with our Constitutional Lawyer yesterday and needed at least another 4 hrs, Ordo ab Chao is the reality of daily life. Every jurisdiction on this planet is being shaken. If you don’t wake up and see the root of the problem and follow the web of deceit to it’s core you will be fighting the whirlwind.
All the protests, signs and activities will be of not, because the real fight was in another ring. Rather than being still and taking the time to look at the road map, we get lost flippin’ around and never show up.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
St. Paul at Ephesians 6:12
Of course, the “modern man” doesn’t accept “superstition” like the Devil and so on. Meanwhile, the Devil laughs with glee as he conducts his campaign of mass destruction against the world.
We ARE in a literal war of good against evil, and evil is winning.
The great deceiver is doing his work, we have to be more vigilant than ever. I like the verse also, here it is from the King James Version:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

The “epidemic” is caused by the PCR tests instead of a real spread of the disease.
The disease itself is not that dangerous as portrayed in the media.
The people that staged this crisis need to be held responsible for “Crimes against Humanity”.
Many criminals are named, and much of the evidence for this crime is listed.

Hello ,
just to inform about the fight that is going on in France. We are in terrible situation here . The mask is mandatory everywhere( except in our homes , for the moment), our parlaiment just voted prolongation of the state of “sanitary” emergency until 1 of april 2021 . Only 17 deputies voted against!!! One curageus deputy had a courage to denounce the hoax of covidiots (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpk6PFtU2Tc&t=5s).
I work in psychiatric hospital , our young patients (we work with youth from 12 to 21 y old) are forced to wear masks , clean their hands with hydroalcoholic thing whole day, stay 2 m one from another, but we can eat all together without masks(for the moment). Our job is to be there for them , to educate and heal , talk with them but now our bosses force us to be sanitary cops and do the filthy job of sourveillance and indoctrination. You can’t imagine what a horrible results has this madness on psychotic kids , paranoia , severe distress , scarification , attmpted suicide…
I refuse to be a part of this “new normal” but the pression is intense , bizzarely not from the bosses but from my colegues …
It will be just horrible xhen the flu and cold season will arrive , like every year kids will be sick with normal seasonal deseases , what kind of mistreatement they will live than i dont know …
I feel so alone in this madness , nobody says anything people close their eys on crime collectevly …

Thank you for sharing this, bezuhov76. I’m very sorry. I’ve been thinking often of what horrific things must be happening in psychiatric hospitals as well as with the mentally disabled. Deaths and horrific conditions in nursing (elder care) homes were somewhat reported on, especially in the beginning. But, as is historically typical nothing is spoken of or reported on this subject. Working with young patients is already tough, but under these conditions must be torture. I don’t know how to help you feel less alone. And, I cannot imagine what you must be enduring. But, I will just say I feel it took extraordinary strength for you to post about it here. Thank you again!
p.s. your English works for me just fine.

Here’s the main article in question today by the epidemiology student. Try to plow thru the first 2 pages to understand CFR and IFR and what happened.
https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/7ACD87D8FD2237285EB667BB28DCC6E9/S1935789320002980a.pdf/public_health_lessons_learned_from_biases_in_coronavirus_mortality_overestimation.pdf
CFR is the ratio of the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed (preferably by nucleic acid testing) cases of disease.
IFR is the ratio of deaths divided by the number of actual infections with SARS-CoV-2. Because nucleic acid testing is limited and currently available primarily to people with significant indications of and risk factors for covid-19 disease, and because a large number of infections with SARS-CoV-2 result in mild or even asymptomatic disease, the IFR is likely to be significantly lower than the CFR [because the no of actual infections is higher than measured].

An Orthodox Jewish community(s) in Brooklyn burned face masks in a bonfire to protest Gov. Cuomo imposing a local coronavirus lockdown on them
EXCERPTS
~~ Members of an Orthodox Jewish community in New York City’s Borough Park neighborhood started a bonfire in the street Tuesday night to protest a new lockdown.
~~ Borough Park is among nine NYC neighborhoods that have been ordered into lockdown to address localized spikes in coronavirus cases. The lockdown goes into effect Friday.
~~ All nine of the neighborhoods are home to Orthodox Jewish populations, and the lockdowns come during the celebration of the Sukkot holiday.
~~ Parents, staffers, and children at a Catholic school in Marine Park, Brooklyn, also protested having to close during the lockdown.
…The lockdown, imposed by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, will include closing schools and nonessential businesses, banning mass gatherings, and restricting houses of worship to no more than ten people…
…Protesters also chased away two sheriff’s deputies who responded to the scene, according to NBC New York…
…“It’s called civil disobedience, we can fight back,” community activist Heshy Tischler said as he tore up his face mask….
