While Mike Whitney is on the right track, I think he is incorrect when he echoes other internet commentators that the end game of Operation COVID is population reduction.

Since World War II, global population has increased by 80 million each and every year. Of course, as the world population grew, from just over 2 billion at the end of World War 2 to almost 8 billion today, the annual percentage increase decreased since the annual 80 million was coming off of a bigger base population. Until this year, the annual increase in absolute numbers has always been 80 million.

Rich people often go to conferences and talk about wanting to control population, but that has never come close to happening. Only the Chinese and Japanese governments implemented effective population control programs. If the goal of the Bilderburg and Davos groups was to control or reduce world population, they have been startling ineffective in doing so. If COVID was about population control, they could have genetically engineered and release a virus that actually killed more than really unhealthy people, instead of restricting people's freedoms over an overhyped (to be polite) virus.

The obvious conclusion is that this crowd has no interest in population control whatsoever. But they are concerned with reducing industrial activity and greenhouse gas emissions. And that is to be accomplished by keeping up population growth, but reducing the standard of living of everyone but the Davos crowd to medieval peasant levels. They want to keep their slaves, thank you very much. The plan is to get to a global population of 11 billion people but everyone but a few families has a diet of rice and beans.

The victims of this scheme, which is flat out evil, can enjoy one irony. While the lockdowns may have curbed greenhouse gas emissions, the worldwide temperature drop this year was only o.o1 degree Celsius (0.02 to 0.03 Farenheit). Yeah, it would have been more without the lockdowns, but all thisfor 0.01 degrees.

One issue is that greenhouse gas emissions are primarily caused by population growth itself, so turning everyone into third world peasants but having lots and lots of them won't work. Poor people in India contribute a lot by just cutting down trees for cooking fires. The bigger issue is that since 2018, methane released from tundra and the Artic Ocean has started overtaking carbon as the main greenhouse gas. Which means the game is already over in terms of controlling greenhouse gasses. Its a matter of adjusting now, though granted a decrease in worldwide population would make the adjustment easier.

By the way, even with the old fashioned carbon emissions, closing all the mom and pop businesses and churches and forcing everyone to buy everything online and have it shipped to them is counter-productive.
