One Op I have been focused on is a prominent COVID denier, working on behalf of Florida’s GOP interests to push out as much disinformation as possible, the fake account Max Nordau. Here he is angry that someone has died from the long term effects of a disease more ravaging to some than HIV, not that the person succumbed, rather that it was reported.
COVID is by far the most deadly viral disease of our lifetimes, having killed in excess of one-million Americans, helped out still by disinformation mules like “Max” setting up a false narrative that the disease is no big deal. Get vaccinated folks, and stay home if you feel ill. Get boosted, especially if you are in higher risk groups.
Getting COVID is a big deal. Especially to the elderly and medically fragile.
Most of the early part of the Pushaw Op on Rebekah Jones was precisely to set up a false narrative that DeSantis was successfully managing the state COVID problem, when Florida was routinely in the top five states for deaths per capita. While Pushaw was conspiring on having Florida’s most accurate COVID data distributor Jones removed from Twitter, Florida was suffering several hundreds of deaths daily, yet because DeSantis changed the reporting rules, only a handful of dead were officially being reported.
Note the irregularities beginning in the summer of 2021 when DeSantis altered state reporting in the graph and shut down Rebekah Jones twitter access. Data shouldn’t look all wonky with massive spikes and crashes like Florida. How is this any different than what Putin is doing to red-pill his citizens?
Not much. Putin incinerated the evidence of his soldiers being killed, that is about it. Jailing Jones and raiding her home, poisoning public opinion with a malign social media influence Op, and lie, lie, lie. DeSantis is okay with his own people dying, so long as he remains in control of the narrative. Florida is open. Come to our beaches. Enjoy.
2021 and onward Ron’s non-response to the pandemic can only be described as cataclysmic, that even with his distorted reporting rules couldn’t fully obscure. What angers me most is he could have pushed a slogan of get vaccinated and get back to work, but rather hawk treatments that his top donor wanted pushed.
DeSantis lies caused the state to suffer catastrophic loss of life. I followed the story of two pro-DeSantis and Trump teachers in Florida after stumbling on the wife’s thread. One day they were bashing the absurdity of COVID and the glorious owning the libs over the disease, the next the husband was in the ICU and the wife tweeting she didn’t want to go back to the hospital but was having a harder time breathing.
People like Max Nordau who were her friends gave her dangerous advice that if she had heeded would have killed her. Not only were people recommending Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and several other fake cures, some were attacking her for “lying” about having a “fake” disease. None were telling her to do what was needed.
I tweeted a passionate response for her to head to the ER immediately if she was having trouble breathing. She went in, collapsed unconsciously shortly after arriving, was intubated and regained consciousness about five or six days later stuck on a different part of the hospital as her husband who hadn’t, and never did.
Just over a month later she got out, buried her husband, and began occupational and emotional therapy forever changed. She did however survive, unlike well over one-hundred thousand other Floridians that succumbed to COVID, as the numbers clearly do not represent accurate facts.
So why was Max Nordau hired to push COVID disinformation, then to silence Rebekah Jones?
Money.
By peddling lies on COVID, and making the masses believe them via disinformation chaos agents like Redfern, Max and Pushaw, while stopping accurate reporting like Rebekah Jones, was lifting up Ron’s fortunes with campaign donations and fame. Without additional voices, it would be impossible for DeSantis to create a favorable scenario conducive for passive genocide.
Will there be a fallout over the way DeSantis conducted his state’s COVID response? Maybe. The problem is that propaganda works, so long as the majority believe it, and he currently controls the narrative as corruptly as Putin does on his War against his own people and that of Ukraine. We are likely going to need something big, like a Matt Gaetz perp walk along with others we all anticipate will eventually transpire, hopefully before it is too late, to change the narrative and bring back truth to Florida’s governance.
Here is Max Nordau mocking the Mueller investigation just last night:

Anyone rushing to the defense of this sh!tbird leaves little room for doubt about their intentions.
