In my article I state that "millions" of deaths did not need to happen and/or were caused by the government response. Here's a quick accounting that would support this estimate:
Covid proper - the disease has killed more than 1 million Americans, per the CDC. Like many people, I think this number is massively inflated. Still, I do think many people did die from this disease. The government culpability would come if it was proven that American scientists and tax-payer money (supporting Chinese scientists) created this virus in a lab, which then escaped. If 30 percent of the million-plus reported deaths could be attributed to this virus, that's more than 300,000 deaths.
The lockdowns caused probably of hundreds of thousands of deaths from suicides, drug overdoses, alcohol abuse, increases in homicides, deaths because people were afraid to go to the hospital or couldn't go to a doctor and deaths from medical diagnosis (for example, cancer diagnoses) that occurred too late.
Iatrogenic deaths - Deaths caused by faulty CDC guidance or misuse of ventilators, etc. This number is probably shockingly large.
Deaths from remdesevir.
Deaths that could have been avoided if safe and effective treatments like ivermectin and HCQ had been widely used.
Nursing home deaths - caused by sending sick people back to nursing homes, where the virus spread and other causes, including sedation drugs over-prescribed.
Vaccine deaths - Which Steve Kirsch estimates are already over 250,000 in America alone.
Starvation deaths in Third World countries caused by supply chain disruptions, inflation and economic hardships.
All of these death tallies are growing and this list is not inclusive. Nor does it include severe medical issues that did not cause death.
In short, Covid policies caused more U.S. deaths than perhaps all American wars since the 20th century. This should be worth some kind of serious government tribunal.
There's probably not a whole lot of exposed scandals that would have the potential to "drain the swamp" if fully exposed. One of those might have been the Epstein sex-trafficking and blackmail operation that went on for DECADES. I think we all know why the "Johns" could not be investigated or questioned and I think we all also know that the DOJ, FBI, CIA knew what was going on for years and covered this up. Heck, they might have been involved in the operation along with Mossad.
Anyway, there was no real investigation and prosecution of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The story was too thermonuclear. Honestly told, it would reveal how corrupt all our government agencies are and how prurient and immoral many of the world's leaders really are. They can't investigate Covid crimes for the same reasons.
What I really tried to accomplish with this article is to show that something that "should" happen, almost certainly won't happen. This makes a larger and even more disturbing point: The people we elect to represent us in Congress or as president aren't going to do the jobs they should perform. So the larger point is about how our elected representatives are also captured and have let the public down.

I think the game at this point is for people like you and I and others to speak the truth to as big an audience as possible so that the CV crew is exposed as the liars they are, even if they're not prosecuted.
BTW, the sites showing the RFK movie have been effectively attacked.
I think it's clear to all (at least at Substack sites like this one) that the "watchdog" press is NOT going to produce any journalism that exposes these crimes against humanity.
It's also pretty clear that we're not going to have any kind of Nuremberg-type tribunal organized by miscellaneous governments of the world.
This leaves only the possibility Sen. Johnson might get to hold those Congressional Hearings he says he is going to hold if Republicans take back control of the Senate. However, it's also clear that the Establishment is doing everything it can to defeat Sen. Johnson, which would probably put an end to that truth-seeking hearing/investigation.
I also don't get the impression the most important Republican senator - Mitch McConnell - is gung ho about holding such hearings.
Any "truths" will probably only be revealed at key Substack sites, the only place real investigative journalism is being performed and actual skeptics exist. So we should all try to steer more Americans to these Substack sites. Somehow we have to get around the "gatekeepers of the news."
I'm not an attorney, but I have followed many court cases. Apparently, evidence of past alleged crimes or evidence of past untruthful statements is often considered inadmissible in any case that doesn't involve those allegations. This said, I think sometimes prosecutors and judges DO allow defendants to be cross-examined, and in these questions, prosecutors (or defense attorneys) can impeach the credibility of witnesses.
I think this would be very important in any possible "Covid tribunal." The jury could see that these witnesses have lied about or covered up many other possible "crimes." The inference the jurors might make is that if they lied about A, B or C, it's very possible they also lied about the matter being addressed in this trial.
One of the great benefits of a Nuremberg-type tribunal (or even a serious Congressional Hearing) is that the public would learn what serial liars our "trusted" officials and experts really are. Or else, that they are simply incompetent and never seriously investigated things a competent and honest official would have investigated. That is, they are far from infallible and certainly don't honestly represent "settled science."
If anything is going to take place, it will be against those who are relatively powerless. With that in mind, I see a prosecution against the doctors, which was one of the 13 Nuremberg trials, therefore the claim of "precedent" can be made. A good source of information is "Justice at Nuremberg: Leo Alexander and the Nazi Doctors' Trial" by U. Schmidt. I'll leave it to others to decide how much of the prosecution was based on ex-post facto law, i.e. Nuremberg Trial of Major War Criminals, which contained an outline for prosecution. Though there was enough extant German law to prosecute, it did not stop the medical experimentation that occurred for decades afterward, yes in the US, as outlined in The Plutonium Files by Eileen Welsome.
IMO, enough work has been done in the decades since Nuremberg regarding patient consent, that Covid trials are needed, but whether the law has a remedy is another question.
I don't think we will see trials while the current crop of politicians are in power. However, we are starting to see some change-over: Meloni in Italy, Danielle Smith in Alberta, Canada, to name two. We have to work to get new, ethical people into positions of power and never give up on the idea of trials. It must happen. We can't simply sweep the biggest genocide in history under the rug. That isn't going to happen!
I found a great post on this topic at Michael Singer's Substack (The New Normal). He was responding one of my posts about this article. It's from "Mello.B33."
Post Proper:
This whole thing is much bigger than politicians, heads of state, and office-holders, thus, no voting will fix anything.
"In the course of my life I have developed five little democratic questions. If one meets a powerful person--Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin or Bill Gates--ask them five questions: 'What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?' If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system." - Tony Benn
As for Nuremberg type of trials, this is all a farce and smoke screen. You cannot successfully prosecute anyone while the war is ongoing and hasn't been won. Nuremberg happened after the war was won. No backers, funders, or silent supporters of the Nazis were ever held accountable. Only a tiny number of Nazis were actually trialed and punished. Thus, no prosecutions for crimes against humanity during the "pandemic" will yield desired results as long as those responsible remain in positions of power, control, and influence. Any trials that will happen will serve as a soft landing attempt and a slap on the wrist for the perpetrators. If anyone goes to jail, it will be expendable scapegoats and useful idiots who will take the blame, while the grand thieves, criminals, and enemies of humanity will walk away free and unscathed. No amount of money will fix the damage that occurred. If anything, it will serve as a bribe to the oppressed, so they will accept and allow for it to happen again, as long as there is an apology, fake trials, and "bribes" (job reinstatements, money, etc.) attached to it in the end.
Therefore, you cannot put your trust in any politician, lawyer, doctor, scientist, or journalist to come up with solutions to what is happening. They simply don't have the right tools to understand what is happening. They all suffer from cognitive bias that involves an over-reliance on a familiar tool, what they know best.

Yet another stab at developing my theme of the past few days ...
As I posted on another thread, I'm a card-carrying member of the "Drain the Swamp Club." So I have simply tried to identify one "solution" that might actually achieve this vital goal. Namely, let the masses see how corrupt and incompetent our trusted leaders and organizations really are ... and we might just drain the swamp. Long-term, this result might save the country, or make it a better place for our children and grandchildren to live in coming decades.
The question is do the people really want the swamp drained? If they do, they'd be flooding their elected representatives with calls and emails demanding that some kind of Covid tribunal occur.
Now the "truths" such a tribunal would expose are going to be "hard to handle," but it probably is the truth that can "set us free."
When you see them out, get in their face. They don't deserve a nice dinner. They don't deserve to be out in public. Make them as miserable as they have made us.
There are plenty of Repubs that likely have a vested interest in not having anyone look too closely. Trump was pushing the “vaccines” & so was McConnell. Plenty of red state governors didn’t open up fast enough. I don’t remember anyone but Paul & Johnson pushing back on the idiocy at all when we were in the thick of it.
The biggest problem I see is the Nuremberg basically involved Germany. The crimes against humanity involve the whole world.

‘This means presidents, prime ministers and a majority of legislators from a variety of governments would first have to push for such tribunals.’
It ain’t going to happen because these would be the ones in the dock! Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
Good article Bill and your reasons explain why it won't happen although it should. Linking today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
