If Jesus threw the moneychangers out of the temple, why can't worshipers throw out the CDC?

Part One
Are they really going to shut down all the churches in the world? "Too many people in one place, no more Sunday services." I don't think so. Don't write me and tell me about the churches that have already shut down. I'm talking about the millions of others that are still open.
What are these churches? They're places where people can wake up their spirit. And what does that spirit say? Huddle in the dark? Wait for the virus to pass over? Give in?
That's not what I hear. I hear that in some countries, they're places where the State does not tread. Where the worshipers can even speak their minds. I've never been shown Scripture where God says churches have to protect their government granted 501C3 non-profit status and therefore have to cower in fear.
CHURCH is where people can mount a PUSHBACK against the lockdowns and economic destruction. Against the attack.
CHURCH is where people can stand up and say they're OK and healthy and they're not falling for the illusion. This is where people can tear away the false curtain.
If one person stands up in church and says the epidemic is hyped up and is a cover story that allows the government to wreck the country, another person might stand up and say the same thing. Isn't this a tradition called TESTIFYING? Aren't courage and righteousness supposed to have a place in churches? What happens if 50 people stand up? A hundred? What if this happens in many churches? What if the energy is a fireball? Even out in the countryside, away from the cities, I understand people have things called cell phones. What prevents them from recording all this testifying and sending it all over the world? WE'RE HEALTHY. WE'RE OK. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DIE. WE DON'T WORSHIP THE VIRUS. WE'RE NOT HERE TO FALL ON OUR KNEES AND WORSHIP THE VIRUS. THE VIRUS ISN'T GOD.
If Jesus threw the moneychangers out of the temple, why can't worshipers throw out the CDC?
(Modern translation): "People of Jerusalem, run through your streets! Look around! See for yourselves! Search the marketplaces! Can you find one person who does what is right and tries to be faithful to God? If you can, the LORD will forgive Jerusalem."
So…is there ONE honest politician anywhere who will go into a church on a Sunday and stand up and say I DO NOT WORSHIP THE VIRUS…WE'RE ALL RIGHT, WE'RE NOT SICK, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET SICK, THIS IS A LIE AND AN ATTACK AGAINST US…
Don't hold your breath waiting. Don't wait at all. People who go to church can take the bull by the horns themselves. TESTIFY.
Real churches, as opposed to fake ones, were never meant to be polite places.
From what I'm told, early on in every religion, the original believers struggled against overwhelming odds. Their FAITH sustained them. Yes?
Also, if I understand correctly, God isn't telling people to wait for Him to take action. Is WAITING a religion?
Is there a Bible I don't know about that lists all the permitted excuses for WAITING?
TESTIFY.
Part Two
Does God want a global lockdown for eighteen months?
Churches are the last bastion of separation from State in the society
When there's a war, there's dissent. In this war, where are the dissenters?
Could two-gun Trump, accompanied by a live-streaming video crew, do a blazing firebrand tour of 100 churches across the US, and tell worshipers the "epidemic" is being crazily hyped, in order to wage war against the people, through economic attacks? "THIS IS THE MOST FAKE NEWS OF ALL FAKE NEWS! THE CDC IS FILLED WITH LIARS!" You bet your ass he could. Will he? No.
The PUSHBACK IS UP TO CHURCHGOERS THEMSELVES.
The latest: Time magazine, 3/17: "The U.K. government ramped up its response to COVID-19 Monday, asking citizens to cut all unnecessary contact with other people, after a British research team warned its earlier strategy would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. But those researchers also gave a troubling warning for countries around the world implementing lockdown measures: in order to be effective, they would need to last 12 to 18 months."

Asking for Your Help – Forward This Letter To Whoever You May Think Will Help
March 19, 2020
This is a letter I have sent to the White House but others are sending it to the various heads of central banks. Please forward it to whoever you may think will help try to turn the tide. We must end this panic and return to some normalcy. As mentioned, this would also be the cure for the common cold – home confinement. There are so many advisers claiming the numbers are false and many more people are dying without any supporting evidence. They always like to paint the worse possible picture on pure speculation. You do not do this with the world economy. Those that still cling to the Quantity Theory of Money and claim this will be hyperinflationary so buy gold, well you just saw what happened to Bridgewater. They never understand the interworking of the economy and the herd mentality of society.
Hyperinflation has NOTHING to do with the quantity of money. They do not know their history and just repeat what others have said without ever verifying facts. In December 1922, the government of Germany imposed a FORCED LOAN confiscating 10% of everyone's assets. They gave them bonds that were worthless. That is when the people lost confidence in the government and refused to accept their money as valid. It has always been a factor of CONFIDENCE. We are endangering the world economy and this collapse is now already being argued proves that Bernie is right and capitalism is wrong. So if we do not turn the tide, your future will be lost forever.

Dear Mr. President,
As a financial analyst/adviser and trader with a proven track record, I have been called in by former presidents, world leaders, and central banks around the world during crises since 1985. I was summoned for help during the 1987 Crash. I was perhaps the first American analyst to be invited by the central bank of China and flew to Beijing during the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis. I have testified before the House Ways & Means Committee. Major political leaders have been guest speakers at our World Economic Conferences, not merely Margaret Thatcher, but your friend Nigel Farage spoke at our Rome Conference in May 2019. All of the economic stimulus packages will not save the day as long as the people have lost confidence in the future. There must be serious out-of-box solutions, for the catastrophic economic damage the health organizations and media have created is unimaginable.
It is true that if we all stay home every day and just watch TV we can beat the common cold. The damage these people have done when there are less than 200 deaths in America compared to over 1 million people who die in car accidents each year makes one wonder why we do not prohibit cars. Nearly 500,000 die of smoking each year, why do we allow tobacco companies to continue operating? There are costs that must be weighed and the losses these people have created by yelling fire in a theater is staggering.
The damage that has been done by the CDC in sacrificing the entire economy for a virus, which is minimal compared to the flu, and has already peaked in China and South Korea, amounts to yelling fire in a crowded theater. They have undermined the world economy and the amount of people who have lost jobs worldwide is staggering.
Students and young voters work in restaurants as servers. They have lost their jobs by closing restaurants unnecessarily. They are excluded from the bankruptcy laws and are saddled with worthless degrees that do not guarantee jobs. Most students end up in professions that have nothing to do with their degrees. There is no degree to be President, a Senator, Congressman, or the head of a central bank. Student loans should be forgiven if they cannot find a job in which they have a degree. This will force reform in the education system to only offer worthwhile degrees. All student loan payments should also be suspended for the balance of the year.
You should now look at imposing a 9-month moratorium on mortgage and small business loan payments, and suspend all interest accrued during this period. There will be a risk of a flood of foreclosures unless we look realistically at the damage this has created. Negative interest rates only destroy the bond market as evidenced in Europe since 2014. The ECB cannot use Keynesian Economics to lower rates to support demand when people have no confidence in the future.
The economy must be supported, but not by handouts that the average person will not spend because they fear what tomorrow will bring. We must look at the small businesses and the average person. They account for 70% of the economy, not big business.
All you need to look at is the Excess Reserves at the Federal Reserve. The banks will not lend money, for they have no confidence in the future. The banks will only park the money at the Fed. There is no amount of money you can throw at the bankers that will ever reverse the economic decline. They will hoard their cash until they think the worst is over.
Keynesian Economics is to blame. You cannot lower interest rates and expect this will inspire people to borrow when they lack faith in tomorrow. All you do is undermine the pension funds and wipe out the elderly. This philosophy of just lowering interest rates has NEVER worked even once. It has ignored the most critical factor which is public confidence. People will pay 20% interest rates if they think they will double their money next year. They will not pay 1% if they do not see how to even make 1% next year.
I am asking you to request Senate Hearings on this crisis. You will find there are plenty of researchers around the world who are seriously questioning what has been taking place over this virus. The advice you have received from the CDC who seek authoritarian powers is focused only on their field without any understanding that the cure they suggest, shutting down the entire economy, will undermine the economy for years.
You do not kill the patient to cure the disease. This sort of damage must be reversed and exposed that they overreacted on false beliefs like the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Sincerely,
Martin Armstrong
