In my previous post I took a look at some of the kooky conspiranoid narratives surrounding the current world health crisis, COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus. I also took some potshots at fraudsters who were (and in some cases still are) peddling remedies for the contagion. Crazy stories and frauducts continue to pop up everywhere, and I'm not sure I'll have the time or energy to keep up with all of them. But after I discovered that one of this blog's pet subjects, imprisoned serial scammer Kevin Trudeau (aka KT, aka Katie on this Whirled) had joined the corona chorus, I knew that this discovery deserved a post of its own.
You're most likely aware that for decades, Trudeau has traded in his proprietary cache of information that "They" don't want you to know. Over the years he has earned quite a loyal following of folks who look to him for this "forbidden" information. Apparently many still do even though he is currently confined in a federal prison camp, FPC Montgomery, Alabama, which he has fondly referred to as "Camp Cupcake," presumably because the livin' is so easy there. So it was all but inevitable that at some point he would glom on to the coronacrisis.
And indeed he has. Since March 15, 2020 it's pretty much all he's been writing about, through a proxy, on The Official Kevin Trudeau Fan Club page on Facebook. Today he really hyped his output.
I have released 3 extremely urgent and important "Covid-19 Updates" over the last few days. If you have not read them CLICK HERE.There he goes again with those "secret" sources, some of which are so top-secret that he "cannot mention" them. This is the same steaming load of thrice-crapped crap that suckered who knows how many gullibles into GIN more than 10 years ago. (When will people ever learn?)
https://kevintrudeau.com/covid-19-updates/
They are available on this message board/blog and also on:
KevinTrudeau.com
GuruKev.com
NuggetsofGold.com
I will be releasing more updates every few days.
I have access to information directly from high-level sources that is not being revealed in the main-stream media. This is extremely urgent information that "they don't want you to know about”.
The internet is now censoring information about the virus. The "truth" and "real facts" are now being blocked. I highly encourage you to go to the websites listed above and get on our email list so that you will be able to get vital updates on the virus and the economic situation going on around the world.
I have sources in the United Nations; The World Health Organization; America's National Institutes of Health; The USA's Food and Drug Administration (FDA); The USA's Centers for Disease Control; other health organizations from several other countries; several current and past Prime Ministers of various countries; members of several Royal Families, including a King and a Crown Prince; members of The Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove, Council on Foreign Relations, and Skull and Bones; and many other high-level sources in the European Union and the global banking industry, including the US Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank.
I also am in direct contact with several "Gurus" who can "tap into the ether/universal field" and access and download "information".
There are also other sources I am in direct contact with that I cannot mention here.
Check here often as there are several extremely important updates that I will be revealing.
Members of the private club, “The Global Information Network”, have access to this information, and most importantly, are part of a worldwide global support group that is vital in situations like this. If you are not a member, consider joining, as membership can be a critical part of prospering in times of crisis like this. Having access to 'insider info" before others can give you a major advantage in life. Having a support network of people helping people around the world who are upbeat, positive and have been trained to use the "Law of Attraction", can mean the difference between success and failure. Go to GlobalinformationNetwork.com for details.
If you would like to speak to Tonya or Rahelios personally about The Global Information Network, you can contact them at:

Look for updates coming very soon with major news. Remember, this too shall pass and all IS well.
Kevin Trudeau
And the urgent call to "get on our email list so that you will be able to get vital updates on the virus and the economic situation going on around the world" is just another transparent attempt to cast an even wider net, for as all good scammers know, there are plenty of suckers in the sea. I know I've quoted this 2014 Salty Droid post several times on this blog, but it needs quoting again because this is Kevin Trudeau (and his cronies in the GIN leadership) that we're talking about.
After a lifetime of epic grift :: serial huckster Kevin Trudeau is finally in jail … rotting like he always was. KT got ten years for failing to comply with some government paperworks he signed ten years ago as a punishment for the bullshit he’d been pulling the ten years previous to that. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been brutally sucked from the sad in the meantime :: and basically … nobody gives a fuck.But maybe you're not a sucker, but you just want to see Katie's updates because you are desperate for some entertainment, and perusing them will give you something to occupy your time besides hunkering down in a closet hiding from your cranky kids who have been furloughed from school, or standing in a three-mile-long line in front of Costco in a desperate effort to score some toilet paper. And maybe you don't want to get on any scamlist in order to get that entertainment. Well, that's why I'm here. Here we go:
It wouldn’t be surprising to learn that the total revenues from Trudeau’s life of scamjobery had topped a billion dollars. This book :: that book … whatever … the books don’t matter. It’s about cartels of badguys buying {preselected for sadness} people in bulk from media/info companies :: and then trading those people around until they become empty vessels … robbed of their money … and often of their sense of self.
Update # 1 was published on March 15, 2020.
- Here's the Facebook page link.
- Here's the link on the KevinTrudeau web site.
Could this hysteria cause a global economic collapse, millions of bankruptcies and governments defaulting on debt, creating that the “only solution” is a new, one-world currency and global government so that “this never happens again”?To tell the truth, I worry about martial (not "marshal") law in the US, simply because of #NotMyPresident Donald John Trump's authoritarian impulses; his recent rebranding of himself as a "wartime president" in the wake of the coronacrisis should be enough to make anyone nervous. (If the Department of Justice's reported request for infinite detention powers to fight the coronavirus doesn't give you the creeps, you're part of the problem.) Trump is arguably a "wartime president," but as this incisive article in the April 2020 Atlantic explains, he is engaged in a war on American institutions. But I digress.
Could this create the “need” for “marshal [sic] law” to “protect” citizens, thus giving the government TOTAL power and control?
Maybe. Or maybe this is just a trial run for the future.
These things will eventually happen. Maybe in our lifetime, maybe the next generation.
This is just one reason why being a member of the Global Information Network (Globalinformationnetwork.com) is so important.
When these things happen, members will get the real insight from the “insiders”, not the propaganda machine called the “news”.
A little later on in Update # 1, Trudeau writes:
The good news is this. Look at all the people, including “famous” people that have tested positive for the virus. They all say the same thing: “I felt a little sick, like a cold, for a few days, but now I am fine”; or “I felt like I had a mild flu, but that only lasted less than a week, and now I feel fine.”I think he forgot to mention colloidal silver.
The majority of people (98%) will only show mild cold-like or flu-like symptoms and probably not even realize they have the virus.
This too shall pass.
Consider building up your immune system and keeping it strong. Take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, 3 times a day, and 1 gram of vitamin C with bioflavonoids, 3 times a day.
I am not a doctor, but medical and health experts around the world make these very good suggestions.
There are many more “anti-viral” things you can take such as allicin (from garlic), hydrogen peroxide (35% food grade, but it MUST be diluted in water. Get instructions and be careful with this), red marine algae, propolis, honey, and many other things that you can find online easily.
Update # 2 was published on March 16. And, indeed, it was ripe with number two. The over-arching message seems to be that COVID-19 is NOT a deadly virus, that the world has been through much worse, and even those worse things were NBD in the end, so COVID-19 is really NBD.

Q.) How come the media has stopped mentioning the number of new coronavirus cases and deaths in China and South Korea?On the Facebook page, I responded:
A.) Because the facts don’t fit the story they want to tell. In both countries, the number of new cases are GOING DOWN. And the number of deaths are going down. This is VERY good news, but NOT being reported.
I find it incredible that people are still turning to this con artist as some sort of fount of wisdom, particularly regarding medical or health advice. I won't address all of the inanities in this "update" because that would make my post far too long, but let me address one.[Addendum, April 2, 2020: If I'd known then what I know now, I would have added that every time someone even mentions South Korea to Trump, he gets extremely defensive and cuts them off, as he did PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor during his presser on March 30, 2020. In fact Trump has spent a great deal of tweeting and talking time falsely claiming that the US response to the coronavirus crisis has been superior to South Korea's response, as if it were some sort of competition. I suppose that to him, it is. The point is that contrary to Kevin Trudeau's claim, the mainstream media have made an earnest effort to get the facts out there, but it's Kevin's hero, Trump, who is furiously trying to suppress those facts. ~ CC]
Actually, the media HAVE been reporting the dramatic decline in deaths in China. They've presented it as hopeful news, but with the cautionary note that the story isn't over and there could very well be new waves of outbreaks. And there have been numerous reports about the contrasts between the way South Korea handled the virus (responsibly, from the beginning, because the MERS outbreak a few years previously had prepared them); and the way the US handled it (irresponsibly at first, because our "leader" -- whom Kevin and his fans have spent so much time sucking up to in order to get him to spring Kevin from prison -- is a bumbling egomaniac who was trying to suppress the bad news until it no longer became possible for him to do so).
Here's ProPublica on South Korea v US.
https://www.propublica.org/article/how-south-korea-scaled-coronavirus-testing-while-the-us-fell-dangerously-behind
Update # 2 also included this question:
Q.) Kevin, are you nervous about getting the virus?I certainly don't want Katie or anyone else to get COVID-19, but if he did get it, and if it were really bad, I wonder if he would change his tune. Even though most people who contract COVID-19 probably will not have serious symptoms, and even fewer who get it will die of the virus, many have had serious symptoms, and so far thousands have died, and contrary to Trudeau's smug reassurances to the faithful, not all of them have been old and/or had other underlying health problems. If Trudeau really believes the claim that only the old or otherwise ill are in for a tough time and are in danger of dying if they get the virus, maybe he should try to convince the family of 12-year-old Emma in Atlanta that they're just imagining their little girl is fighting for her life.
A.) No! I would love to get it to show the world the hysteria is out of control. The sky is NOT falling. Look at those famous people like the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau’s wife, Sophie, who tested positive, and Tom Hanks. Both reported MILD symptoms and no problems at all. In fact, they said that it was much more mild than a flu, and more like a regular cold and not even a bad cold.
Friends, consider that when HIV (AIDS) first came out, the media said that if you contracted the HIV virus, it was a “death sentence”. Well, they lied. We now know that some crazy low number of people who get HIV actually have any symptoms and die. The media predicted hundreds of millions worldwide would die of HIV. They mislead the public. What they did then, and are doing now, is irresponsible and only being done for ratings and a globalist political agenda.
But let's talk about HIV/AIDS (and I can't help but notice that Kevin didn't add that he wishes he would get that, just so he could show the world it's no big thing). Actually, the media were not deliberately misleading the public about HIV. The world was truly scared at the beginning of the epidemic in the early 1980s, when so little was known about this terrifying and seemingly new disease that was so lethal, though it seemed to disproportionately affect certain groups (most notably gay men, at least in the West). I remember the fear very well. I still grieve for dear friends I have lost to this horror.
This 2010 paper on "AIDS exceptionalism," published by the Journal of the International AIDS Society, gives some historical perspective.
A more recent piece (updated November 25, 2019), published on the Very Well Health site, also offers a realistic look at HIV/AIDS. In the early years of the epidemic the mortality rate was signficantly higher than it is today.
Expanded access to antiretroviral therapy has profoundly lowered the rate of HIV-related deaths, both in the U.S. and globally. Some of the greatest reversal have been seen in sub-Saharan Africa, the region of which accounts for 75 percent of all HIV infections...Unfortunately, infection rates continue to soar in Russia and Central Asia, due mainly to intravenous drug use. In short, and contrary to Trudeau's claim, HIV/AIDS has been and continues to be a pretty big deal. The disease may not have killed the "hundreds of millions" of people that Trudeau claims was once the projection, but it has killed many millions, and has left a brutal mark on the world.
...According to the WHO, 32 million people have died of HIV since the beginning of the epidemic out of the 74.9 million who have been infected (roughly 43 percent), Moreover, of the 37.9 million people living with HIV today, just over 770,000 died in 2018.All told, AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by more than 56 percent since the peak in 2004.
Update # 3 was published on March 18.
- Here's the Facebook page link.
- Here's the link on the KevinTrudeau web site.
Consider that the worldwide panic about the coronavirus does not agree with the facts.The missive concludes:
First, there is really not a worldwide ‘Panic” among normal people.
Only in certain countries, did the mainstream media outlets create a panic. This created panic is for OTHER reasons.
Mostly this panic is designed to create a global economic disaster that leads to:
-a resetting of all debt
-a one world currency
-a one world government of non-elected officials (like the European Union)
-a one world police force
In America, there IS panic among the majority of citizens. But even with the data I revealed at the beginning of this message, there is NO reason to panic about the virus, OR the economic “disaster”. This will all pass as other MUCH more catastrophic events have all not only passed, but created a BOOM in the world economies and an INCREASE in the standard of living and quality of life for more people all around the world. Just think about what happened AFTER WWII.
The world became a MUCH better place for a much higher percentage of people.
But people have been brainwashed and hypnotized by the misleading media.
Check back here often. I will give my next update shortly with the REAL numbers and where you can see them online. THIS data will make you feel MUCH better. I will also talk about the economy and how this media hype will affect your financial situation. I will also share more about “who” is behind this and “why”.All-righty, then.
Don’t worry, you are not going to lose your house and become homeless and be without food. All is well my friends.
Remember, all you have to fear, is fear itself. All is well and most importantly, this ‘event” will be a trigger for a better world for more and more people.
Much love.
Your friend,
Kevin Trudeau
I know it will probably come as a massive disappointment to those who depend upon Katie for all of the information that "They" don't want you to know about, but as of today, March 20, 2020, he and his fellow inmates at Camp Cupcake are on lockdown because of the coronavirus. That's according to a Facebook post on the "official" Kevin Trudeau fan club page. As shared by the pseudonymous Rahelios on that page:
We have all been restricted to our rooms. So we have been "locked down" until further notice. We think it could be up to a month. This means no access to phones and VERY limited access to emails. This is just an FYI. All is very well.Well, gee, that's too bad.
Kevin
You might be wondering how Kevin, locked in his room with no phone and almost zero access to email, is going to continue receiving all of that information from his seekrit sources: you know, those multiple health orgs from several countries; and all of those Prime Ministers and members of several Royal Families; and the Bilderbergers and Bohemian Grovers and Skull and Boners; and, yes, those "high-level sources in the European Union and the global banking industry."
It's possible he will just have to rely on the "Gurus" who know how to tap into the ether and download all of that data that "They" don't want you to know about. Since these gurus are so powerful, and since Kevin himself has such a powerful brain, a fact that we know because he has told us so many times, it's possible that he can communicate telepathically with them. (I wonder if Esther Hicks, who has made millions with her imaginary-friends collective "Abraham," is one of those gurus. For years Trudeau has been an enthusiastic endorser of the Abraham-Hicks scampire, and even now some of the Abe-Hicks info-frauducts are on Kevin's "recommended" list.)
If the ether-tapping gurus fail him, perhaps Kevin can fall back on those "other sources I am in direct contact with that I cannot mention here." They probably have all sorts of amazing ways to infiltrate the lockdown.
I know that nothing concerning Kevin Trudeau should surprise me by now, but sometimes I'm still baffled by the fact that so many people seem to be looking at him for guidance in every aspect of their lives. It's not really much of an exaggeration to say that he has assumed Messianic qualities in the eyes of at least some of his followers, and sources much closer to the situation than I am have shared that they find this fact more than a little disconcerting.
In recent months Trudeau has doubled down on his efforts to rebrand himself as a spiritual leader: a true guru nicknamed, apparently without irony, Guru Kev -- and he has a group of enablers who are helping this along, and a willing audience to lap it all up. Like so many other phenomena I've written about on this blog over the years, I think this near-worship of a serial scammer/inveterate deceptive marketer is both scary and sad.
 |
| This is just a small example of the
near-worshipful responses on Facebook to Kevin Trudeau's "Coronavirus updates." These appeared on Update # 2. As of the last time I checked, 152 people had shared that "update." |
Look, I have nothing against maintaining hope and even optimism that most of us will get through this crisis, and that some good will come out of the devastation. I also agree that panicking is not a constructive response. And it's true that we can't always rely on the media or our "leaders" to present a realistic perspective about what's going on, particularly in the midst of a crisis, when news, rumors, and speculation are coming in so fast and furious that it's difficult to keep up with all of it. It's also true that the media -- both mainstream and otherwise -- do thrive on ratings, and often this involves sensationalism. We all know the drill: "If it bleeds, it leads."
But at the risk of once again over-stating the painfully obvious, it is sheer folly to look to a known con artist for wisdom and guidance on this or any other matter, particularly since so many of Kevin Trudeau's "facts" are just plain wrong, even if they do come from "forbidden secret sources." And on a smaller scale, Trudeau's counsel to his followers to totally ignore the mainstream media and view COVID-19 as trivial is arguably just as counter-productive and even potentially dangerous as the mixed messages from Donald Trump and the misinformation from governments in other countries such as Italy.
Though you may be weary of hearing this from me, I maintain that Trudeau's chief motivation for being a source of (mis)information is and always has been not to enlighten and uplift humanity, but to line his own pockets and solidify his standing as what amounts to a cult leader, sort of a latter-day L. Ron Hubbard. And all evidence points to the probability that he has been working on that pocket-lining project nonstop since he's been locked up, within the limits imposed upon him by the Camp Cupcake rules.
My best advice is to do whatever you can to stay healthy and hopeful, without looking to scammers and conspiranoids for vital information. Meanwhile, if you want a more realistic perspective about historical pandemics than what Your Friend Kevin has to offer, start here.
And if you want some real numbers, don't wait for Kevin Trudeau's "exclusive" information that is being "censored" from the Internet. Start here.
PS added March 31, 2020: Well, that "lockdown" at Camp Cupcake sure didn't last long. Only a couple of days later, Trudeau was right back at it, pumping out COVID-19 "updates" without missing a beat. Since this post is already long enough/too long, I wrote a new one. Here's the link.
