It's a good point that iraq war opponents considered excess deaths the surest measure of the wars toll. As I remember the UK public when polled had the figure at around 75,000, less than 10 percent of the excess deaths figure.
Fast forward to 2020 and suddenly the public seem to be overestimating the toll from covid by 100 times. In the former case many of us are convinced that the media were responsible for the massive discrepancy and that it served hidden agenda.
In the latter case we are encouraged to shrug if we consider it at all. In terms of the agenda, I would draw a parallel between big pharma profits now and BP profits on seizure of Iraqs oil fields in 2003. In other words, graft was grease for the wheels but not the key policy driver.
The iraq war could be seen as part of a wider project of global financial control via the petrodollar system and blockade of rising economic rival china.
At the moment the furious drive for vaccine passports, sold as part of the covid response suggests a significant curtailing of political freedoms in the works, perhaps in preparation for the much predicted economic shock and dollar devaluation.
We are also being asked to politely ignore leak after leak which places covid 19 into the context of a longstanding us military bio warfare program rather than a natural disaster.
