Pepe Escobar – Ground Control to Planet Lockdown: This Is Only a Test

Summary:
Is Pepe Escobar another conspiracy theorist, or is this true? China and countries outside of the Western block have handled Covid-19 very differently, without completely locking down their economies, or for long, although some of their methods are more authoritarian.  Pepe Escobar thinks there is another reason for the complete destruction of the Western economy, which is to bring in a new authoritarian world order, with a new banking system, with a paltry basic income, and with corporations in total control.  People will be so scared of virus, says Pepe Escobar, that they will eagerly accept all the changes the elites want, plus the chipped vaccines that will be able to track their every move.

Is Pepe Escobar another conspiracy theorist, or is this true?

China and countries outside of the Western block have handled Covid-19 very differently, without completely locking down their economies, or for long, although some of their methods are more authoritarian. 

Pepe Escobar thinks there is another reason for the complete destruction of the Western economy, which is to bring in a new authoritarian world order, with a new banking system, with a paltry basic income, and with corporations in total control. 

People will be so scared of virus, says Pepe Escobar, that they will eagerly accept all the changes the elites want, plus the chipped vaccines that will be able to track their every move.

Boris Johnson caught the virus, which could have killed him, and also, his government initially went for herd immunity to try to save the economy. In this way, the British government doesn't seem to have been part of this conspiracy. 

I could handle the conspiracies about 9/11, the neoliberal banking scam, and war is a money making racket, but not this. Would the elites really destroy their economy for total control? What would they gain, and surely China would just zoom ahead?
