@iAnonPatriot Love this idea. Swamp the Brazilian IP addresses giving cover to those freedom lovers in Brazil that want to get the news and making it more difficult for the Brazilian government to actually figure out what is really happening on the ground inside of Brazil! Brilliant!

Total US deaths down in 2020, yet the world is panicked. Covid dominates cause of death discussions of many. Statistically, it looks to me like Covid is stealing from deaths by other causes. This thing is so overblown by governments and media if you rationally look at the data.
