We have been terrified into submission. Words like pandemic and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. 
 
A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
 
There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. 
 
This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end.
