Definition of Certain Terms

Let us begin with defining two terms: IIP (Intentionally Induced Panic) and CWF (Cry Wolf Factor).

I had previously mentioned a video, which appeared to take place in a “big box” store not unlike Costco. The stage is set that the pallets, stacked up with packages of toilet paper, are at the back of the store, far away from the entrance. A large number of “shoppers” are seen pushing carts en-masse. The race to the back of the store is caught through different camera view, therefore different cameras. Yet, the different camera data was edited into a single video. Why were several cameras at-the-ready? How did the participants know where the toilet paper was? This was not the spontaneous recording of something funny. It involved several actors pushing empty carts through the store. They branched out into several aisles, each with someone ready to record the action. The video, once combined and edited, was dumped out onto Facebook and other so-called “social media”. Almost immediately, people began running out to their nearest store and hording toilet paper. Some group of people, camera operators and actors, worked together to create a video that would induce panic buying. Thus we arrive at IIP … Intentionally Induced Panic.


As to the Cry Wolf Factor, I shall try to avoid charges of “sexism” and “ageism” by reminding everyone of the fable of (The Person) Who Cried ‘Wolf'”. It has been instructive as to how easy it was to control the actions of people, and to make them fearful of others, and to herd them of the streets and to remain confine to the voluntary jail of their own homes.
It is hoped that, when the actual threat of Wuhan Coronavirus fades, people will remember that politicians have been “crying wolf” often and on different subjects.
The theme has been repeated often in the form of demands that all firearms be confiscated.
