The Mainstream and powers that be do an excellent job of saying anything that isn't theirs is fake or untrue.
Absolutely.
It works the other way, too, though: fringe claims that anything contradicting their stuff is fake or untrue.
These days, everything is part of some faction with an agenda. Everything is partisan.
This virus is an agenda and it's been planned by Bill Gates and the UN who literally had meetings about it months before it happened. Dean Koontz wrote a book about it happening in Wuhan in the year 2020. Simpson's predicted Corona virus in the year 2020.
The world is full of coincidental stuff like that. You have only to look for it, and you can find it in lots of cases.
There are two main infectious diseases fiction is most likely to pick from: Ebola and coronavirus. Ebola for obvious reasons (such as in the movie Outbreak). Coronavirus because past big scares of highly contagious, airborne, deadly viruses were coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS. Ebolaviruses, SARS, MERS, and now our recent SARS-CoV-2 all got their start in bats. Also, a lot of dangerous infectious diseases originate in Africa and China. The (in my opinion) best movie to date on pandemics -- Contagion -- is about such a virus originating from bats in Hong Kong.
I highly doubt that Simpsons writers or Dean Koontz have any special knowledge of the future.
They are puppets designed to persuade children into evil acts at early ages such as drugs and sex. Notice how most of them support the democrat party? JayZ, beyonce, Eminem, snoop dog ect. Almost all of Hollywood. That is why they consistently attack Trump and Pence
In our country, broadly speaking, there is the left and the right, and they are battling it out in an ideological war. It isn't mysterious. Left-leaning people are the majority in entertainment, education, media, and big Internet. They use that to try to sway others with what perhaps most of them see as "the truth," but that I and you see as propaganda and indoctrination. You can call it "a cabal." They can call the other side "a cabal." But it is simply two sides fighting an ideological war that is getting nasty. Each side has its overt and covert members, its powerful and its normal people, etc., which is to be expected in any big conflict.
