Money, Money, & Money Again
I've said it before, there is no charity in the west. Money is the root of every major policy of the west. From the American Civil Right movement, to the Middle East Wars, to Mass Immigration, Multiculturalism, Diversity, Identity politics and now Covid - 19. At the start of the lockdown, we were told that it would last only a couple weeks. Big Tech companies at that point were recovering from huge revenue losses.
What the lockdown did for the Big Tech was drive up demand for their product and services, since small businesses were forced to shut down. So, while the rest of us were trapped at home, losing our jobs and income, more than ever Big companies were raking in huge dollars. Is it any surprise that any attempt to expose the scam behind the virus and all the west's policies surrounding it is censored by Big Tech?
At the same time the Big Tech were doubling and tripling their profits, the government, retail markets and health establishments were earning quick buck on face masks, handgloves, sanitizers and unnecessary covid tests.
Anti-Trumpism
President Trump confirmed earlier on that coronavirus was no more deadly than the flu, that the lockdown were unnecessary, and that hyroxychloroquine can be used to treat it. That was quite early 2020, when the consensus of the medical community on the virus was still unclear. May be the last claim haven't aged well, but the first two have.
Now, because these claims were coming from Trump, the punchbag of the pseudo-liberal, regressive leftwing media and public, insisting on the threat of covid and the necessity of lockdown became the "progressive" or "liberal" thing to do. And so regardless of the devastating consequences of the Covid Hoax and Lockdown, till date, the left wing media carried on in the name of opposing Trump.
2020 US Elections
As I've noted, the Big Tech immensely benefit financially from lockdown. FAMAG - FaceBook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple & Google all form part of the coalition for the US Left. Much of the profit that they raked in from lockdown naturally went into funding the US left wing electoral campaign. It fully explains why the lockdown that was suppose to last only few weeks of 2020 lasted the entire year and still persist till date.
The only exception for the lockdown were the Black Lives Matter protests. It seem contradictory that the mainstream media and the left encouraged these protest while enforcing lockdown and social distancing everywhere else. But it isn't. The BLM is a pro-leftist bandwagon whose protests amplify the narratives of the political left and more or less serve as campaign rallies for the left. The BLM rioting destroyed small businesses, which increases demand for the big corporations who often support the Left, the BLM received donations which directly or indirectly support the leftist causes.
Conclusion
So, I want to link all these back to the title of this post. What is known as the west today, isn't anymore Islamic than the middle eastern countries. Any country or regime that invent a health crisis, enforce policies regarding it to deprive people of their livelihood & freedom of movement thereby enriching the rich & impoverishing the poor, while suppressing dissenting views and opinions cannot be Islamic.
Peace.
