Georgia O’Keeffe Sunflower, New Mexico I 1935 • A Truth That’s Told With Bad Intent (Ben Hunt) • America’s Chilling Experiment in Human Sacrifi
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 15 2020]Russia will in the next few days pass Spain as the no. 2 in total cases behind the US. But it reports “just” 2,418 deaths to date, vs Spain’s 27,321.
I read that Russia started with mass use of hydroxychloroquine + azitromycine + zinc on 16 April and saw the death rate tumble.

That would be interesting but we’d need to have it confirmed. The numbers at Worldometer show an upward trend around April 16, not a downward one.
Georgia O’Keeffe Sunflower, New Mexico I 1935
A curious painting; I don’t quite know what I think of it…
I mean, it’s pretty enough; but I think there is more…
I think it might be a matter of style, not sure…
Because nobody is going to where people are sick and dying,
• United States Might Not Open Up To International Travelers Any Time SoonYou’re right the death rate figures from Russia don’t look convincing. In fact I had remembered what I read about Russia incorrectly, it was a tweet by @Covid19Crusher from a couple of days ago which talked about the improvement in the number of recoveries, not a drop in death rate. My mistake.
Education systems
1. A lot of Teachers, professors, employees are old, obese, diabetic, sick.
2. Impossible to avoid getting within 2 M on the buses, halls, bathrooms, classrooms
3. Inadequate ventilation and filtration
4. Disinfecting will be inadequate
5. distance learning, online learning will not be recognized by other schools, college,university, and employers
6. Who will want to pay. Who will be able to pay
7. Who can install a new experimental effective system of learning that can respond to the needs of our different social/economic system.
8. How are you going to retrain the teachers in the new system. How are you going to payI don’t know how much you’ve been following the situation with the pronouncement by the German Constitutional Court (Bundesvefassungsgericht Karlsruhe) on the ECB bond buying programme, but this is real dynamite for both the Euro and the EU. It’s very difficult to find good commentary on this, however this article by monsieur Frexit himself, François Asselineau, is well worth your time. I don’t know how good your French is, but there’s always Google Translate.
The Karlsruhe Shock Wave is Shaking the Euro and the European Edifice
“I believe with all my heart that if we are to take individual rights seriously, then we must take individual responsibility and agency just as seriously.”
Couldn’t agree more, which is why i have such a hard time with this. What was responsible about the bailouts that just occurred? Is it not the same people in charge of the financial and the COVID response? I love Ben and I love you Illargi. I wouldn’t understand what i do without people like you guys. But you’re losing me on this Covid stuff. All i see is more government overreach and never letting a crisis go to waste. And why are the stats displayed on every website you visit? My favorite was yahoo finance, they added covid stats randomly above the ticker a few weeks back. I feel like we’re being punk’d here. Oh and the states using the color codes for countys feels very 9/11ish. You guys remember those? Terror threat orange today good citizens!
A thought crossed my mind today: Will we be installing plastic shields between bowling lanes when this is all over?
Didn’t some suggest awhile back that 9/11 was a cover up for financial fraud? Something about building seven holding documents with regards to worldcom and others? I mean they also got an endless war out of it, along with the enemy being whoever the flavor of the month was. Feels strangely familiar
From an article highly recommended for those who are trying to keep an open, rational mind:
Our narratives of COVID-19 are all lies.
They are lies of a particular sort, political narratives that have a nugget of truth within them, but are told with bad intent. They are told this way because it works. Because the nugget of truth hides a deeper, unpleasant truth. And a Big Lie.Some are narratives of the political left. Some are narratives of the political right.
They are all narratives of betrayal, meaning that they seek to excuse or promote policies designed for institutional advantage rather than the common good.
How do you recognize a political narrative of betrayal?
It’s always based on a model…
Model-driven Narrative #3
Flatten the Curve!Political goal: COVID-19 threat maximization.
Truth nugget: Lockdowns prevent a surge in cases which can overwhelm the healthcare system.
Deep Truth nugget: When we’ve got everyone freaked out about staying alive, there’s no end to the crazy authoritarian stuff we can get away with.
Big Lie: We can get R-0 down to zero.
Policy prescription: You’ll find these ankle monitors to be surprisingly light and comfortable to wear!
Embedded model: Laughably inaccurate models of COVID-19 deaths, malleable enough to serve the political aspirations of both the White House and their opponents.…Today, “Flatten the Curve!” has become the narrative rationale for a range of extraordinary executive actions – on both the left AND the right – that would make Lincoln blush. This is the narrative that will propel the Surveillance State into a permanent feature of American life. This is the narrative that will propel the final transformation of capital markets into a political utility. This is the narrative that will propel us into a war with China. If we let it.

Evidence Suggests U.S. Financial Crisis Started on August 14, 2019
Such a convenient time line
The Russians must be feeling a bit stretched beyond their limits.
They have the fight of their life with the virus, on one hand, then they have to support the Dem’s constant never ending RussiaRussiaRussia theme in American politics, on the other hand.
Russia’s support for the Dem’s RussiaRussiaRussia theme seems to be wavering!
Zerosum:
Your list of educational challenges is interesting.
One thing the educators do not want to see on the table is lower tuition fees!
I wonder how many students, like my daughter, are questioning the value of online learning?
When it comes to Uncle Joe, I am just waiting for the Dems to introduce virtual Joe!
At least virtual Joe will be able to repeat what the teleprompter says!
This shouldn’t be too hard for them to do.
After all the Dems have successfully elected dead people before!
However trying to elect a half dead, half alive candidate might prove to be harder!
However I wouldn’t want to underestimate the Dems!

10. Foreign student tuition fee don’t apply to online education. (Large loss of students and revenue.)Practicum, on hand experience, apprenticeship, retraining, upgrading.
Students will need to grow up fast and realize that they are responsible to learn and teach themselves, to decide what they want to do with their lives, to stop being lazy,

They seem to have skirted all around lowering any tuition fees! Just as I figured!
“They seem to have skirted all around lowering any tuition fees!”
I guess the university elites figure that even if everything is changing around them, It doesn’t mean that they have to change.
Closed schools are a blessing in disguise; children are destroyed by U.S. public “education”.
A misnomer, if ever I heard one.

1 Million Students At California Universities To Stay Home Next Fall As Campuses Go ‘Online Only’
As multiple reports have underscored, this means a total of more than 770,000 students will not return to campus — which will no doubt be a huge blow to school finances, which often relies heavily for daily operations on campus-related fees such as housing, to say nothing of the coming likely massive drop in tuition and other crucial funds.
” …. many especially incoming college freshmen are likely to take a ‘gap year’ as they’re not interested in dropping $50K plus for a semester sitting in their living room.”
Apparently the few programs which will be deemed as essential to conduct in-person involve professions like nursing, bio-research, and medical related disciplines, where access to labs, medical equipment, and patient interaction are crucial.https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/11/us/uc-president-suspend-sat-act-for-admissions/index.html

https://2oqz471sa19h3vbwa53m33yj-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/global-food-crisis-2020-1.png“How New York Turned Nursing Homes Into ‘Slaughter Houses’
“Cuomo sounded indignant when a reporter asked if anyone had objected to New York’s policy of forcing nursing homes to admit recently discharged COVID-19 patients. “They don’t have the right to object…”“ten states where more than half of all state deaths have occurred in these “care homes”, and in many of them governors actually mandated that these homes take patients who were Covid+…That was an intentional act and meets, handily, the definition of manslaughter…”.
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=239297“As we noted earlier this week, ~50% of deaths in Illinois have involved residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, problems that Spain and the UK have also struggled with. And the spike in deaths in the state seen this week has largely been attributed to a surge in managed-care-home deaths as the state’s utter failure to protect those patients becomes more shockingly apparent.’
Maybe we should have addressed the sick people and not the well people, the way we have for the last thousand years? A fraction of money put only on nursing homes would have dropped rates 50%. So that would be from 86k deaths or 0.02% to 0.005%, or from twice the flu to half the flu.
It would go some way towards explaining why NY and IL have high rates: essentially on purpose, through criminal negligence.
Elsewhere, NYT reports some half a million Manhattan are missing…in this case assumed to have flown all over NY, Long Island, and Florida to avoid it, by definition after the quarantine and lockdown. So again, why high rates in non-city New York State? Leak from the high rate city. (Why that 10x the norm, don’t know yet)
There is a second effect of this, as seen back in October(?) when Cuomo said “We can’t tax the rich”. Why, Andrew? “Because god forbid they should leave.” Like NJ where ONE person leaving blew a multi-million dollar hole in the state budget. Apparently that just happened. I wouldn’t say this is a problem of socialism, that is, some animals being more equal, more taxed than others, but it certainly is a feature of that system that must be dealt with very carefully. Because no one under 50% pays any taxes, and the top 1% pay what, 50% of the taxes? You can look it up. So a single tax donkey leaving can move a substantial percentage of taxes. “Flat” taxes we had previously, tariffs, whatever, with smaller governments and social support being in the community and not the government did not have this weakness. So be aware. If they stay out for the Census, which seems likely, NY will also lose Congressmen. Unfortunately, as seen in CA and OR, when they move they take their terrible policies with them in Blue flight and then collapse the new states they move to. Why, I don’t know, because they should know best what policies they are fleeing, but that’s how it is. Rural people don’t appreciate it much either, as they destroy the culture of the new place in seconds by bringing money from the Fed-DC-Bubble areas. Thanks.
But things are changing, and nobody listens to me. I just report it.
I’m sure the German court-Bond thing is big, but don’t know enough Europe to get it.
Thanks Doc, that an event is being used doesn’t mean it isn’t real. We just have to not be used and punkd by it, not fall for the narrative they try to corral us to. And balancing Rights and Responsibilities is always difficult. That’s why I tend to fall back on 1,000 years of legal history, a system that has seen and internalized a lot of knowledge.
Education has been a scam for 20 years, only limitless free undefaultable money has allowed it. As seen by the graduates of Harvard, Yale, and Columbia who get everything wrong they can touch and meddle with. RussiaRussiaRussia. Don’t know why they’re so hard-headed as to not be discredited. We love experts, not results, I guess. But that will change right now. Probably the change being held back, fought tooth and nail even by violence will snapback and try to suddenly make up for lost time in order to meet the cycle dates. I don’t prefer it. It’s unwise to hold back the tide to have it rush in as a tsunami. Follow the time and tides and move with them very slowly so everything can adjust. But then how would we get rich on disaster capitalism?
To date, we have not had to dump milk ourselves. Our co-op dumped tractor trailer loads in April. All co-op members pay a fee to cover the cost of dumped milk.
Education has been a scam for 20 years, only limitless free undefaultable money has allowed it.
Forced public education has been in effect since roughly 1853 (if memory serves); so that makes it 167 years.
