Editor’s note: The extent to which the events of 2020-21 were war-gamed and planned for cannot be understated. In this article, Rusere Shoniwa discusses the significance of a pandemic scenario published in 2017 by Johns Hopkins which anticipates a public backlash against the health damage caused by a hastily rolled-out medical countermeasure and plans for how to control it: “Public health communicators” are advised to keep their “grip” on the public and quash doubts or concerns using their control of “social media technologies”. Unfortunately, it seems that the plan is working.
The SPARS PANDEMIC 2025-2028, published by the Johns Hopkins Centre for Health Security in October 2017, is another of those amazingly prescient, yet “entirely fictional” scenario plans that ended up looking like the blueprint for the actual covid pseudo pandemici. It is in fact the prequel to that other freakishly coincidental pandemic wargame, Event 201, hosted in October 2019 (a few weeks before SARS-COV-2 hit the headlines) by the same institution along with the CIA and the World Economic Forum (WEF). What business does the CIA and its brainchild, the WEF, have going anywhere near public health strategy planning? Absolutely none, unless of course public health strategy is to be used as a nefarious special purpose vehicle for intelligence services and the global corporate oligarchy.
If you’re not yet up to speed on pandemic planning shenanigans, check out this brilliant investigative report by German journalist Paul Schreyer who traces the 20-year arc of pandemic simulation wargaming involving collaborations between the most prestigious medical scientific institutions, the mainstream media, and government intelligence agencies – the latter two being a very peculiar inclusion in any nexus of front-line public health strategy planning. This report by Schreyer is a vital contribution to the copious body of evidence demonstrating the Machiavellian planning which preceded the covid pseudo pandemic.
This particular scenario plan, which I will frequently refer to in this essay as the Pandemic Play, was “designed to illustrate the public health risk communication challenges” posed by an infectious disease outbreak. [emphasis added]. Important to stress from the outset – not actual public health risks, but PR risks. In short, it’s concerned with what those with unwashed brains would instantly recognise as brainwashing. For the purposes of this essay the question is, why bother dusting off a five-year-old simulated pandemic plan when the actual events have been slapping us in the face, and very hard I might add, for the past two years?
The answer to that is provided by a James Delingpole tweet which suggests that a key endpoint of the plan – ‘vaccination’ – was anticipated to fail. What’s more, having planned something they knew was destined to fail, the planners also banked on snatching victory from the jaws of defeat by escaping any meaningful punishment or opprobrium. As the evidence of the scale of the ‘vaccine’ atrocity mounts, there is a feeling, among those of us who are most aware and most disgusted with it all, that the tide is turning in our favour and we now have the planners up against the ropes. But is this true or have the pandemic planners merely adapted their own version of Ali’s famous rope-a-dope tactic?
Laying a trap like this makes perfect sense – if you’re going to come up with a plan as preposterous as the ‘Pandemic That Never Was’ to mass inject a ‘Vaccine That Never Was’, you really ought to make allowance for enough people getting wise and blowing the whistle. And that’s precisely what they did. The challenge for the true Machiavellian scholar is how to use the inevitable discovery to transform the heroes who expose the villainy into tragic figures who end up snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
We are in the Reveal stage of the pseudo pandemic – the denouement – but before we turn to the relevant part of the Pandemic Play to understand what the planners had in store at the time they wrote the final act, it would be remiss not to comment on the character of the document in its entirety.
Blurred lines – pandemic mitigation or pandemonium management?
It is a masterclass in absurdity which has its roots in the inherent contradiction in drafting a plan that purports to deal with the inevitable fallout of a manufactured crisis while pretending that the crisis is not manufactured. Its aim is to present failure scenarios to public health spin doctors, referred to as “public health risk communicators”, and invite them to “mentally rehearse responses” to these failures. But, in providing pitiful explanations for all the failure scenarios, it effectively exposes the Medical Counter Measures (MCMs) of a corrupt pseudo pandemic for the sham that they are.
Instead of mitigating the consequences of a real pandemic, the MCMs are the very things that perversely create the necessity for narrative spin and psyops. Which is of course exactly how it panned out when the plan was transported from the 2017 stage play into the real world. Lockdowns, masks, and mass vaccination were/are all massively destructive and therefore all necessitated military grade psyops to shoehorn them in. It tries to get around this by deflecting blame for MCM failure, which is presented in two ways: either as the inevitable consequence of being caught in the whirlwind of a pandemic – hence, ‘not our fault, guv’, or; not a failure at all but rather the appearance of failure stemming from the public’s incorrect perception of the situation – again, ‘not our fault, guv’! Stupid, stupid public!
Thus, the line between using communications as a tool to disseminate health information and using communications as a tool to manipulate public perception about health policies is blurred, and not skilfully either.
Medical and scientific issues are falsified through deliberate over-simplification, and front-line doctors, the second most important protagonists in a pandemic story after the patient, are conspicuous by their absence.
Because its primary aim is narrative spin, it’s an information warfare manual. The battleground is social media platforms, and the imperative is for public health agencies to adopt “a diverse range of social media technologies” since it is “the diversity of new information and media platforms” that is “challenging their technological grip”. Apposite choice of language since no dictator accepts a challenge to his grip.
In short, it describes a crisis which turns out not to be a crisis but primes public health officials to treat it as a crisis anyway. It describes treatments which turn out to be ineffective because the public is being used as experimental fodder, but challenges public health officials to come up with innovative ways to gaslight the public into believing this is how science is really supposed to work. It is a ‘public health’ psyops manual written by people without a conscience (pandemic planners) for people without a conscience (the “risk communicators”).
I have parsed some of the more ludicrous subplots in the Pandemic Play in footnotes to this essay under the following headings:
- Is there actually a problem?ii
- Get-out-of-jail card for vaccine producers automatically assumediii
- Just a spoonful of sugar makes the bad medicine go downiv
- Unsafe and ineffective? Switch the conversation to uncertaintyv
- Vaccine hesitancy – black arms mattervi
- Psychopaths also have a sense of humourvii
(Reading the footnotes isn’t essential to an understanding of the arguments I make in the main body of the article, but I hope they prove the underdeveloped mindset of the pandemic planners and the contempt in which they hold the public.)
Constructing a new reality – will they succeed?
While the Johns Hopkins Pandemic Play looks like The Moron’s Guide to Public Health Relations, it would be a mistake to conclude that the authors are themselves morons. The document looks bizarre precisely because it’s an instruction manual for people whose job is ad hoc reality dismantling and reconstruction – the “public health risk communicators”.
It is undoubtedly sinister because of its prediction of all the ‘errors’ and ‘mistakes’ that were made in the manufactured covid ‘pandemic’. In the latter sections of the document – the Reveal stage – the planners anticipate fallout from being unable to keep a lid on vaccine injury. Nevertheless, a somewhat happy ending for the pandemic planners is fashioned in their Pandemic Play. So, will they succeed in constructing the reality they desire?
In the 2017 playbook, as “claims of adverse side effects beg[i]n to emerge”, the pandemic planners coyly suggest that the demands for the “removal of the liability shield protecting the pharmaceutical companies” will be deflected by the “emergency appropriation of [taxpayer] funds”. Because God forbid that Big Pharma, having siphoned off billions from the taxpayers’ purse for efficiently distributing poison, might then be subjected to the humiliation of footing the bill for the injuries caused by it.
The pandemic planners were also prepared for the ethical quandary of hastily mass injecting an experimental preparation with no long-term safety data. The ‘rare’ side effect rebuttal is alluded to by reference to “relatively few reports of neurological symptoms” while the problem is framed as an overblown social media response. Ultimately the blame is placed squarely at the feet of an ignorant public – those “demand[ing] proof that the vaccines [do] not cause long-term effects” are “displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of scientific research”! You just don’t get it, so let me spell it out to you on behalf of the pandemic planners. You, the entire public, the 5.3 billion people injected so far – you are the subjects of the experiment, and the experiment isn’t over until the CDC, FDA, MHRA et al say it is. You are the long-term data. You may die in the process but that’s science in the 21st century!
The anti-science and anti-human proposition that most people in the Western world appear to have accepted is that medications are simply presumed safe until real-life post-marketing data tells us that they aren’t. They also signed a full waiver of liability. This, in a nutshell, has been a major objective of the covid coup – to pervert the paradigm of what ethical drug experimentation entails.
We now have Pfizer executives telling us that jabbing 5.3 billion people with a ‘vaccine’ that wasn’t even tested to meet the essential criterion for a vaccine – preventing transmission – was unavoidable because they had to move “at the speed of science”. Just think about the implications of such a cretinous statement – the safety of the entire planet was entrusted to mindless psychopaths who laugh at our expense by talking about moving “at the speed of science”.
While the statement is cretinous, the Pfizer executives are not cretins. They are pretending to be cretins because they firmly believe that this is the level of the general public’s consciousness, and they are therefore confident that the public should be spoken to at that level. But they know full well that science is not a fast car on a racetrack. They know that science is a painstaking process for determining truth in the material world and that it is propelled forward by the accumulation of knowledge which has accrued over thousands of years.
The victory of these psychopaths over reason and real science is now borne out by the eight-mouse test for approving ‘boosters’, which is the outcome of a “Future Framework” report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to green-light the release of updated covid shots without conducting any additional clinical trials. The new medical Wild West is no accident; it was planned, and the 2017 Johns Hopkins Pandemic Play was simply laying the groundwork for a new reality.
The 2017 handbook’s solution to public grizzling about vaccine injury is to “communicate with compassion and genuine sympathy toward those in the vaccinated population who experience medical issues subsequent to being vaccinated”. Tellingly, the pandemic planners’ confidence in the public’s capacity for absorbing abuse is conveyed in the prediction of its “broad willingness to accept a prescribed countermeasure that promised to end the pandemic, but whose long-term consequences were not fully understood at the time.” Shit happens. The public will deal with it.
So, to the Pandemic Play’s denouement:
“The investigations grew in intensity, several high-ranking officials at the CDC and FDA were forced to step down…Exhausted employees of these agencies…simply wanted to put the whole response behind them. Little desire remained on the part of decision-makers or those who served in the trenches during the response to rehash the events of the past several years.”
Alas, a public selfishly wrapped up in the petty dramas of lockdown trauma and ‘vaccine’ injury is predicted to be unappreciative of those poor souls in the public health agencies who “served their time in the trenches”. Can life get more unfair than this?
And of course, the pandemic planners underline in the very last paragraph the only two components that make a for a happy and successful pandemic experience: “continued commitment to vaccination programs as well as accurate, culturally appropriate, and timely communication from public health agencies across the planet.” It’s all about the ‘vaccine’ and the PR spin to get it into arms – that’s it, in a nutshell.
The End.
It’s both anti-climactic and anti-truth: mass vaccination has never ended a pandemic. What’s more, the utter failure of this ‘vaccine’ deployment in the covid p[l]andemic has forced the CDC to unwittingly declare the vaccination paradigm – prevention of infection and transmission – defunct through a change in the traditional definition of vaccination. The vaccination paradigm is dead. The funeral has not yet been held but its tombstone will read: “Killed by the CDC in 2021”.
The hypothetical story’s ending is intended to be anti-climactic because the implication is that, although there will be some grizzling from the sheep, it will be successfully dampened down by the public health psyops warriors with “culturally appropriate” communication. Lessons will be learned and incorporated into the next Pandemic Play. All’s well that ends well. Above all, the masses will have been acculturated to pandemic tyranny in all its chaos, manipulation and bio-fascist experimentation.
That’s how the pandemic nightmare ends in The SPARS Pandemic Play written by the Johns Hopkins Centre for Health Security. Not with the anguished screams of a violent awakening which typically brings nightmares to an end. No. Just a bit of whinging from an ungrateful public and a few exhausted public health warriors taking a well-earned break from trying to convince the impudent masses how lucky they were to have been shepherded by such valiant, clever and selfless people. It ends this way because, for the pandemic planners, it’s not a nightmare; it’s a dream. And not any kind of dream either. It’s a lucid dream, one that they control. Or so they believe. Will the pandemic planners control the covid Reveal stage now playing out in the same way they controlled the Pandemic Play Reveal stage?
