Great article from a much better writer than I.
They’ve long planned this, (read the papers, please) and intend to push humanity to and fro while they’re unmoored for maximum death and disaster capitalism extraction. Then they can rebuild the system in their violent, crooked image, as their motto states. We, of course will resist that, as always. Unfortunately, people overwhelmingly help them by refusing to believe there’s anyone out there that would do them the slightest harm, and believe like a puppy every man is their very special friend, and there’s no slaughterhouse anywhere, ever, where they take your rings and gold teeth.
I have no idea where they got such an idea, but it’s not from the history of earth.
“Places such as Syria and Yemen are very likely to see truly horrific outbreaks”
Quite the opposite, I think. They “collapsed” early to beat the rush. You at Oxford are going to become like them, not that they will kill twice as many when everyone who isn’t rock-hard is already dead, dead, dead. Don’t worry for them but prepare for yourself. What you did to them and was authorized and loved will, as always, now be done to you. How can you say no? For decades you all said it was fine, moral, justified.
“horrifying possibility, that certain sociopaths will use the synergetic fears of refugees”
Like the total destruction of privacy, free speech, and intentional austerity killing tens of thousands a year for sport, this is no ‘possibility’ but already happening for decades everywhere, on purpose, and well-reported. For example, just yesterday Erdogan did it for the 100th time.
“we must hold on to a sense of vision and endeavour, that something better is still possible.”
With universal corruption, the only fix is within the heart, and that is religion. That you will do good and are willing to die for it. Materialism, atheism cannot provide this fortitude which is why it’s hated so violently and opposed and undermined constantly. A placid, abstract, “sense of vision” is inadequate when the soldiers tell you to perjure the innocent and persecute someone, or they’ll burn your house, shoot your kids, send you to jail. And they’ve already been doing those light, cheerful things for decades. And people’s constant surrender to any challenge has not stopped them. Only if you say “No”, remove your consent, and hand them your useless broken body will that mean a whit. As that homeless Indian guy said. And only religion, faith, will provide that, but that sense, honor, faith, #Logos, is our arch-enemy and will be persecuted the hardest. More than now even.
“USA can survive the twin disasters is if government by and for the people is restored.”
Government has never worked, especially in health care. Our whole 230 year history shows that. So although there may be solutions, they’re not one of them. Cutting off 90% of their taxes so we can afford health care might be because slowly giving them 90% of our taxes did not. Pandemic? Meh. Unless somebody wants to admit to 100,000 dead in Wuhan, Corona appears safer than the common cold. It’s one way or the other: either admit the dead, or stop saying this is a thing that exists. 3k dead when the common cold has killed 100,000 in the same time is as many as were hit by lightning while fighting sharks. Now I don’t believe those numbers, but you can’t have it both ways: either it is or it isn’t; pony up.
If not, there’s nothing to tackle. “Habeus corpus”: “Produce the body.” No death rate = no pandemic = no collapse. They will counterattack in April.
I’ll take that car even broken. It’s fixable unlike today’s modern cars with a single fender cracked.
So which is more ecological again?
From yesterday: Korea, in the religious meeting, they had 50-50 for symptoms. When tested, 80% of the non-symptomatic had it. So if – let’s say everyone has it, but only a fraction has any health issues, then we can stop reading the “infected” number, which is alarming and start reading only the “death” or “ICU” rate, which is 3,000.
So we’ll call the number “10,000”, as above. Over much of the planet by now. Can we do a turtle vs the hare race vs influenza now? 30k/mo is the number to beat. With 3 months in, Wuhan is behind by a factor of 10x. Panic!!!
“CDC refuses to test for COVID-19. Why?”Why indeed. Because it’s hardly more than influenza but can cause a War of the Words panic that will kill millions? I mean unless you think all the doctors in UC Davis are stupid and/or suicidal. Do you? Are you going to allege that? Which fits the pattern better?
“Markets Expected to Fall Further as Coronavirus Hits China’s Economy (G.) “
That would be true if the markets weren’t totally disconnected from the real economy, and have been since ‘08, if not ‘01. But they need to get the shorts to buy in hard so they can burn them. You know: the muppets who actually believe against all evidence that we have a real market.
“China Pollution Clear Amid Coronavirus Slowdown (BBC) “
Still no word from St. Greta on China. And no victory laps from all those schmarty-schmarts guys who ached for human death to save the planet. You can’t please some people. Why aren’t you happy now? You have everything you asked for.
“ Bernie Sanders Looks To Blow Away Rivals On Super Tuesday (G.) “
America is so racist first we elect a black guy, then we elect a guy with a Jewish family who’s pro gay marriage, THEN we elect a Jewish guy. We’re tricky like that! Nazis everywhere, but tricky Nazis.
Conclusion: in #AntiLogos, reality will never, ever matter. EVER. It could be 1,000 years and it still wouldn’t matter. The sun could burn out and we’d still hold on to these lies, accuse each other while the guys in the castle laugh and drug your daughters.
“‘Get Out Of The Way, Let Us Deal With Assad’, Erdogan Says He Told Putin (RT) “
This is why Turkey can never get anywhere and fails all the time despite the power of their people. You can’t double-cross and fight everyone at once, at least not openly. You need to lie about it, hide and deny, like Britain and Israel. Who’s going to work with him now?
And what Chemical weapons plant? Since everyone’s a goldfish, apparently, they dismantled their program in what, 2015, overseen by the U.N. and it’s anti-logical to go there since? Nope, make stuff up, lie, have the media print it. Then when called on it, lie and deny more. Since the population is #Antilogic, they love it! It’s just like them! Brother! Sister! The one true god! The morning star, the prince himself, Lies.
“Either the EU acts now, or people are going to be killed.”
Well yes, but the EU WANTS them all to be killed. That’s why they started the war, supported it, and took every action since. They also love rape and hand grenades, and have come to a new love of deadly flus they openly promote letting spread to every corner without the slightest containment. So I imagine they ache with longing for the deaths of these 76,000, especially as they’re mostly civilians, because they ache with longing for the deaths of Germans, of uppity French protesters, of the unemployed in Greece and Spain, and prettymuch everyone else. That’s what happens when you’re a death cult, like most leaders worldwide. They’ll probably record it and watch it at parties for light entertainment now that Epstein’s pipeline is down.
It would make sense if it’s a (our) biovirus they know the nature of, that it probably can’t be controlled, but hardly kill more than influenza. That is actually the fact, unless somebody wants to show me 100,000 dead in Wuhan nobody’s admitting.
The tests have issues since it was engineered cleverly, — you can go read the paper on the “chimera” virus with 3 parts from Wuhan labs — and with 3 shell expressions, it’s throwing nearly 50% false positives and 50% false negatives. So…why would you want a test like that? You can scare the people with it, but not much else.
28 NIH beds is typical media lies. First, use your head: it’s impossible. Second, those beds are VERY special respirators, NOT cheap, boring ICU respirators. They on on par with dialysis for your lungs, removing your blood and breathing for you, and considering how extreme that level of support is, I’m surprised they have 28 of them. Third, it’s very hard for NIH to tell the media “how many”, because they always keep beds full, but shift both admission/discharge AND the type of wards they have to suit the need. That’s not infinite, of course, ICU is still a special thing, but they’re going to kick out the known hypochondriac with chest pains (again), that guy who keeps overdosing then walking out, and the homeless guy with exposure they took in for no real reason but sympathy. If you shove those out because beds are needed elsewhere, how many do you gain? No one knows. 10%? 30%? It depends on how far up the tree you go. Note the media doesn’t ask questions, sensationalizes, lies, causes panics, then never retracts, even when publicly exposed for it. If you haven’t noticed from 4 years of RussiaRussiaRussia.
Otoh, in Korea, in the religious meeting, they had 50-50 for symptoms. When tested, 80% of the non-symptomatic had it. So if – let’s say everyone has it, but only a fraction has any health issues, then we can stop reading the “infected” number, which is alarming and start reading only the “death” or “ICU” rate, which is 3,000. …Unless you can find me those 100,000 denied dead somewhere. That 3,000 is higher than influenza, but 3,000 / 1.2B = 1 : 40,000. I think America an withstand that rate. That’s why they’re not testing, and calling it “the flu”. Because it is “the flu.” For us at least, still waiting on Wuhan and suspect it’s something more there. But they will make hay on more nonsense if they can, and call them stupid and heartless, and we call them hyperemotional and very, VERY bad at math.
It’s their hyperemotional overreaction (and lies) and child-of-alcoholic constant belief in known liars that will stop the system and kill hundredfold more people than the disease, at least so far. They’ve finally found our Achilles’ heel. Our penchant for lying constantly, then whining and complaining, surrendering, cowering in fear like babies. It’s a can’t-lose.
“China Reports Catastrophic Data: PMIs Crash To Record Lows (ZH)”
They’re going to print money and call a force majeure on their contracts, which they needed to do when they cracked back in Nov if not before. But they didn’t have an excuse. Funny ol’ world.
Not to laugh, so are we. Powell may call a major print/bailout this weekend so he can make his $770B/night Repos official and put a reason behind them. (note, that’s a TRILLION dollars) Yeah: they were anticipating Wuhan back on Sept 17th 2019, that’s the ticket.
“China Will Meet US Trade Deal Ag Demands, But May Invoke Force Majeure (SCMP)” Ding!
“killed over 2,700 in China alone” 2,700 / 1.2 Billion = 0.00000225 Panic!!!
“Southeast Asian Supply Chains Feel The Squeeze From Covid-19 (SCMP) “
Maybe, but they’re all going to print money and have a perfect excuse, so…nothing done, economically, at least. Zombies will all survive and increase so long as they’re insider pals. Yay! They get $770B/night, you get inflation and pension defaults.
“US Sanctions on Iran Helped Coronavirus Spread Undetected (NI)”
See? THIS is how you blame the U.S. for everything, THIS is normal.
“Australia Defied WHO on Coronavirus (SMH) “
Experts. Expert medical bureaucrats, I think the Doctor will have something to say on this. Along the lines of: “they’re just dreadful politicians of a different stripe”?
“calling it “racist”. But, of course, that decision now looks very wise,”
Calling someone racist was just an unfounded smear meant to bully someone into slavish obedience using fear? I’m sure it’s the first time. https://lists.grabien.com/list-hate-crime-hoaxes (1st google hit) People would never use leverage they have to their advantage would they? No, they are the good people, and I am the bad people, just ask them! But we are NOT just all one people. That’s equality and brotherhood
“Israeli Scientists Claim To Be Weeks Away From Coronavirus Vaccine (NYPost) “
Hard to tell when everything’s a lie, but it would be good cover for the cure the U.S. bioweapons lab would already have.
“Attorney General Bill Barr appears on a collision course with President Donald Trump”
While they play WWE Wrestlemania 2020. Remember Trump and Kim? A minute before they signed up and walked the DMZ together? Meanwhile, nothing happens and no one’s arrested. From the endless screaming you’d think someone would have lost a pension at least.
“If Sanders does not receive the necessary votes,”
This is why they had 25 candidates. If each 20th runner gets one, it’s enough to stop Bernie and screw democracy. I’m sure that’ll turn out fine. But proves as Dore and so many say, “They would rather have Trump than any Progressive.” And why not? They gave him more budget, more military, more Congressional spying, more wall, and now more free billions for “health” that he personally allocates. And you think they’re AGAINST him? The two parties aren’t R and D, they are the People and the Government. …Or the People and the Banks/corporations/government, same thing. Their party is all in for a NY billionaire insider vs a NY billionaire insider, and applauds. Heads I win.
“Baraitser interjected seventeen times.”
But I thought if judges were biased against the defendant they had to recuse themselves, right Sotomayor? Can’t have a judge and a juror who have already made up their mind then taking cases, can we?
Returned from yesterday:
Yes but if it’s a biovirus, and one we developed (and China stole), don’t you think we developed the cure too? It wouldn’t be much good to have a weapon that destroys yourself equally. If so, then it seems the CoS calls over to Ft. Deitrick, the lab head tells him what it is, how it works, and if it doesn’t have a built-in self-destruct, the lead time on producing enough “cure”, whatever that may be.
Were this to be true – and it seems more likely than a fruit bat ate a pangolin – then PEOPLE WITH THE HIGHEST CLEARANCE KNOW THINGS BUT THEY CAN’T TELL YOU. The NYT, the Guardian, known to lie every day, in every way, better and better, then call accuse every guy WITH the clearance and information, to be foolish anti-science idiots, and are then wrong again, almost every time, and no one notices. You know, over my whole lifetime. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong, lies lies lies lies lies lies lies.
But what’s he going to say? “We (America of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s) created a racial bioweapon against the all humanity and the Geneva convention and that kills civilians especially, and we’ve been testing it off and on in various places over the years, and now a) we released it or b) our security is so poor, and we have so many spies and moles in government that would help kill half the planet who can be bought for a used Mercedes, and they all work in Level 4 and Harvard and the CDC, and that’s how it escaped? And that’s how China is lying, and we are lying, and the WHO is lying, and the CDC is lying, but trust us: we’ve got it all under control? Pay your taxes, join the Navy, vote for Burr?” Um, no. HE CAN’T TELL YOU. So everything you hear is a lie, if you didn’t notice from the last 30 years of lies.
So no, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s right for these reasons and it’s over by April, because otherwise, why bother sticking your neck out? But he has to let this play out. And if 1/100th extra people die that died of the normal flu this month, is that really a risk? If China wants to use it as a premise to round up dissidents, are we supposed to get in their home life drama and stop them?
Paging Dr. Rorschach.
Here’s the thing. People HAVE it, but are they DYING of it? 8,000 people “have it” in CA they’re trying to imply but not ONE needed to go to a hospital? There’s a big difference between having a flu, NOTICING you have the flu, and DYING from having the flu. I have flus all the time, don’t notice, and am never tested. If so, who cares? You’re going to embargo the worldwide supply chain in a war-like siege over it? A day after the acquittal when your trade negotiations didn’t win and you’re about to collapse anyway and need a diversion?
Q: If zero kids get it, why close the schools? Not for the chillin’s. It’s never for the chillin’s it’s always for us, our money and power and the Epstein chicks you can buy with it. So I guess it IS for the chillin’s that I can traffic and buy, then overdose and dump them in a flophouse. Another accident in Flyoverland.
Q: If there’s a worldwide pandemic, why knock down the wall and divert the money OUT of U.S. healthcare and medical readiness TO USAid who will funnel the untracked money back to Swiss accounts and election funds again? Do these look like serious actions of serious people to you?
Q: Since any 6th grader understands the flu, why did the U.S. and Japan just let everyone off ships without testing, and don’t bother even now?
Q: Since any breathing human understands flu, why did U.S. officials walk in and out of quarantine, not just unconcerned with the public – that’s a given – but also 100% unconcerned with their own deaths?
A: All just coincidental lucky accidents. That everybody with access to information act like this is a zero while known liars and deep state actors are pumping fear doesn’t mean anything, citizen. Please panic and obey our directions. Why?
“leadership is quickly waking up to the fact that a) +80% don’t get it badly enough to warrant closing anything down whatsoever” Sinnycool nails it. The play is to pump it up, because outside China (or maybe in?) it’s hardly worse than the flu, so to get any leverage YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE PANIC AND SUPPLY CHAIN, the ECONOMY, and the ELECTION, not the flu, which is a zero, going nowhere. You can have it all you want, but it won’t kill you. That is the only Rorschach that makes any sense.
Day 90, still no one’s accused us. Strange. They accuse us of everything that happens on earth, every time. They even accuse Trump of causing the epidemic by not invading China. Just shows there’s a first time for everything. Or is it that knowing they lie about everything, always, it’s the sudden lack of accusation that’s suspicious?
Does anyone know how many dissidents and people with low social credit are missing in Wuhan compared to the general population? That’s the first place they were seriously tracking. How about Iran? Suddenly pop up there among areas featuring journalists and moderates, or is it real?
Fantasy football: we know Kung-flu has a very strange reaction: one you get antibodies, as soon as the count diminishes you reach a threshold where the disease attacks even HARDER, using the very antibodies against it as the vector. As I understand, that’s similar to HIV.
So way back when, China thought SARS was an ethnic biovirus. Although its attack on Asians is a truly amazing coincidence, it doesn’t matter if it WAS a weapon, only that THEY believed it was. So, knowing the problem, they had millions of their citizens vaccinated against the next attack. …Who now have COVID antibodies. …The very antibodies the virus uses to more successfully attack the host than the initial virus. And the question of engineering such a thing arises again, because now CHINA would be the one who weakened and indicated those people to a new, more clever attack. So only if you got the vaccine, you die of the virus? 90%?Which they would never admit.
And contaminated their vaccinated population by fooling around with a new virus in Wuhan #4 lab they bought/stole from Harvard via Canada that we knew all about and probably leaked to them?
Which they will never admit either.
Nor will anyone else, or they wouldn’t get Americans or Europeans to take +70 vaccines from birth either. Still trying to see Rorschach here. /fantasy football.
From our level doesn’t matter: it’s the economy/supply chain/idiotic over-reaction that’s our real threat. Dow scaring under 20k seems in the bag. It could probably be 10K and still be overvalued, but one must have standards, you know. The standard is: get in some shorts and then start printing so that burning them will drive up the market into the final re-set. But these things have both price AND time. It takes TIME to break optimism and run fear.
It also takes time to reveal the cure you had all along, or else people will catch on that you’re ALWAYS lying, and the whole thing – the market, the money, the government, the society — is a scam.
How about this: they’re not suiting up and not testing because outside of the zone, patients can all “have it” but have virtually zero effects or mortality unless you’re 80? In that case, testing WOULD be dumb, because it would cause a panic among people who will 99 & 44/100ths% be unaffected. Remains to be seen, but the other explanations make no sense.
Go the other way: Rosensteins’ sister is the one with the outsized message from the CDC at the same time California – who has done nothing – suddenly says they are “monitoring” 8000 people. Really? Do you have their names? Does even one of them have it? Newsflash: it’s a pandemic, we’re “monitoring” the whole United States, your words mean nothing. So why did you say them? Strictly for propaganda value. To light up the headline-reading trading bots. And suddenly seeing a lot of this. Same media who beyond giggling at the very IDEA – my word! What silly tin hats! – of a disease at all, who BANNED anyone who stated the obvious even if they are medical PhD’s from Duke, now suddenly jump on the administration for not acting sooner! Weird.
It’s almost like a) you were lying or b) are dumber than a goldfish and don’t remember what happened two seconds ago. YOU’RE the ones who told us this was nothing who DEMANDED planes continue to fly, infected people were brought home, until you were CERTAIN it had spread, and THEN you want tests and panics. Good job, Brownie!
So for the coup de grace, they want to “Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!!!” in order to pay for the epidemic which would be PREVENTED by the travel ban, ICE, documentation, and the wall. Europe follows, demanding open borders for maximum travel. “EU Experts: Closing Borders ‘Ineffective’ For Coronavirus (EUO)“ Ah, “experts.” #AntiLogic. The only logic we know.
Anyway, what patterns can you draw from this narrative? That the only way to stop Trump from dismantling the stealy, rapey, stabby Deep State is to crash the economy? Huh. Funny ol’ world. But I am a coincidence theorist and their actions are not suspicious at all.
So again, Dow chart vs 1929 you posted? Uh, yeah, that says “crash” to Dow 18,000. That’s what the Dow was before Cheeto was elected. Big deal.
EndoftheworldDogsandCatsWe’reallgonnadie!!! Fair value P/E is 7 with 3% dividends. Right now it’s 20.03. That means the Dow should be 10,000 to be low, but fair. Relax. 18,000 “crash” “1929” level is still way, way, WAY overvalued. By 100%. Oh and the Dow-gold needs to be 1:1, or $20,000.
So are they in on it, or capitalizing on the mischief?
“Locust swarms have been recorded in the region since biblical times, …. Warmer seas are creating more rain.”
So you’re saying it’s normal and the desert is greening there. Gotcha. If they can get through this, sounds good. The climate and food production is noticeably improving then.
“Whatever happened to Woodward and Bernstein”?
You mean the guys who worked for a CIA leaker in order to remove a President one employee (Mark Felt) didn’t like? Then lauded both the Bush and Obama administrations, one of whom destroyed more whistleblowers than all other Presidents combined? Those upstanding gentlemen?
“the whole thing – the market, the money, the government, the society” – and the PRESS — is a scam. A fairy tale they told you back when and you believed it. They’ve been Assanging since Pulitzer – of the “Pulitzer Prize” said, “Remember the Maine! Give me the photos and I’ll give you the war!” And 3 shiny new colonies. Does no one know “Wikipedia”?
This guy does:
“Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies.” ~ Julian Assange
His virus task force seems to be focused on the real danger: the economic overreaction.
Of course that is hilarious to those who can’t do math, or read about previous “serious” epidemics, ones so large we forgot all about them a year later and can’t see them on a population/economic chart. I thought all people dying was good?
Oh well. Someone will be right, but no one will apologize.
We’ll move on to the next thing and be wrong about that too, forever and ever, amen. RussiaRussiaRussia! CattlecarsNuclearwarStockcrash! Aaaaaaiiiiii! We all gonna dieeeeee!
Here we go again, blasted into the future, learning nothing.
That was “Eat a bag of D…s” (a classic) but this one was “Shaking My D–n Head”
https://aheadoftheherd.com/Newsletter/2020/Pandemic-fears-real-and-imagined.htm
Fascinating and amazing article with such goodies as: “MPH Online’s grisly top 10 list of the worst pandemics. The 1889-90 Flu, otherwise known as the Asiatic or Russian Flu, was first observed in Central Asia, northwestern Canada and Greenland. It went global through urbanization…”
Yeah, that urban Western Canada and Greenland in 1890…certainly the cause. Do synapses ever fire off anymore?
And, “The Asian Flu originated in China, in 1958. Its two-year spread resulted in about 2 million dead, including 69,800 in the United States.”
And with a U.S. population of 174M in 1958, I’ve never heard of it or anyone it affected. That’s 35x today’s toll in a country 1/3 the size, proportionate to 140,000 Americans dead today, and shrug, unnoticed. History blinked and was gone.
“The Hong Kong Flu of 1968 was a fast-spreading H3N2 strain … Though it only had a 0.5% mortality rate, the Hong Kong Flu still killed over a million people.”
Never heard of it, no one noticed.
“we can place nCoV as more deadly than SARS and the Avian Flu, but still quite a ways from the Sixth Cholera outbreak which resulted in 800,000 dead, or other influenza outbreaks whose body counts go into the millions…”
Although meant to be honest and terrifying, clearly this is the most reassuring article I’ve read since December. Giggly almost.
That and these jokers: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html
So Doc says 400k/yr = 33,000/mo = 100,000 dead since 1 December. Covid = 2k, officially. You can’t say the common cold is 50x more deadly than Kung-flu, but close. So: “What’s up Doc? Why all the hubub, bub?”
My bet is, yes, it’s killed not 2k but 100k, based on reaction and crematoriums, with 1B not 8B affected. So that’s 100x more deadly than flu. But flu is probably 0.003% death rate (most never doctor, so are untracked. Who do you know that has ever died?), so upping by 100x = 0.3%, or 3 in 1,000 die. And yes, that’s high. 8B x 0.3% = 2.4M dead. But comparatively, it’s a say-what, no effect, the cure (stopping the worldwide economy in a bid to retain power and/or cause a world war due to crankiness) is worse than the disease.
The disease I can stand. In fact, I’ll have to since thanks to government and the WHO, I’m going to get it. What I can’t survive is their “helping.”
And you ain’t seen nothing yet. If they disappear famous doctors in the international flu spotlight, and set up roadblocks worldwide with submachine guns, you can only imagine what tricks they’ll learn and justify against uppity folks in Virginia. No questions will be asked, no one will review their actions after. Long planned, long discussed, G4 warfare, with bio “mistakes” long been tested and used since 1935, brought and used here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_biological_warfare_in_the_Korean_WarHelping! Helping! Helping so much!
If they don’t get some shorts in this 99% market, they won’t be able to force it higher.
If they if they don’t have a reason they can’t start 0% rates and hand out ever-increasing money to their friends at an ever-increasing rate.They’ve done everything so far without inflation/hyperinflation on the monetary side, so if too much money can’t break it, how about too few goods?
Monetary reset. Unseats the monetary interests. Who are coincidentally the CIA/Deep State allies.
So going pretty good. Is Kung-flu dangerous? Sort of. It’s more dangerous than the regular flu, but that’s not saying much. By amazing coincidence, beyond the 7 key factors of bioweapon Smith described, it also hits basically Asians and smokers. For everyone else, it may actually BE the flu. I suspect it is. But the attempt to break the economic system and punish us, drop the economy and keep the right people in power with but not exclusively for the election, I suspect will fail. That doesn’t make either a FluII or the supply disruption not dangerous though. The supply stop IS dangerous. This day and every other day, no different. That’s why we have borders and sovereignty with national security manufacturing systems at home, and the employment therein. 87 days later, still no one has accused us. Why not? They accuse Trump of not stopping the disease in China, presumably by invading and conquering them to get the jurisdiction to — once he’s King of China — stop it. SMDH.
Let’s play pretend: somewhere in America, there is a guy who has access to all the intel and documents, gets information on all the bioweapons people have been fooling with, and all the cures they can’t admit they have. Must be hard to know all that and not speak up. To know what is going on and not say, “Hey you fools, HERE’S why not to worry, and I KNOW.” All that guy might say is “April”, so we’ll see. For now all we see is a certain blood pressure medication (check me here) stops it cold. Perhaps Chagga and garlic too. Huh, so many cures already and it’s only been a month, what will summer bring to non-Asian non-smokers?
Food for thought.
Doc, how many people died of the regular flu in the time we’re fretting about this famous flu? Officially or unofficially? With 1B affected, has it killed as many people as heart disease or falling in the shower yet?
Hey L.A. prosecutor, Cory Feldman on the phone to talk to you about how very, very much you care. He’s been on national T.V. trying to get your attention for child rapes after his best friend committed suicide over it. …Hello? Hello?
I’m sure after 30 years, he’s the ONLY one.
Unlike his father, there’s still time to arrest W. for New Orleans. If you deputize me, I’ll be happy to help.
How on earth would only 40-70% get it? Is there a space station or prison island somewhere that’s incommunicado?
So no one in America has Covid – even Hawaii. Because no one in America has been tested. Especially Hawaii: they have no testing kits. Explain please? Because to me it sounds like you WANT the planet covered in this and ye olde 800 million dead. …As they’ve written about as a benefit to especially to themselves and the planet at large – at the expense of the poor (i.e. YOU) of course — for 40 years.
The other noteable thing: no one has accused the U.S. or even anyone else of setting off as a bioweapon. Even though it strikes all our enemies at a critical turn, suddenly including Iran who was nowhere near nothin’. …But we’re just lucky like that I guess. 100% of the time. Right after warning GM and Apple in the strongest possible terms to move their supply chain back home or else. Blaming us dirty imperialist American pig-dogs is just the go-to, the always-taken default, forever, divert-the-blame plan. And this is the one time only they DON’T use it? Why? Very strange.
To be positive, look at Singapore, who has done everything right. They apparently can read words and ‘science’ and immediately a) stockpile critical goods like masks so their hospitals remain functional b) immediately define ‘proximity’ as +2m, c) trace each infection back to origin immediately and tirelessly, d) when identified, put the people under a real, not theatrical quarantine of the correct duration. Wow! So mystery! Amaze!
Sadly, Canada is the complete opposite, having patients that have all the symptoms, CAT scanned lungs, who work with Asians from the area, and REFUSE to test, because, rules. Rules are, test only if YOU are directly from an affected area. So there! Be symptomatic all you want, sneeze up the hospital, walk around Vancouver coughing to your heart’s content but Medicare will EBD before they pay $50 to test you.
Meanwhile in the States, Hawaii is proud to say they have no outbreaks, especially not on Maui, where a known infected man was. They know this because he flew back home asymptomatic…although we’ve known for two months the asymptomatic can contaminate…and they double-checked all this by a) finding no one and b) giving no tests. So how can there be any confirmed cases when we won’t test anyone? By definition: no outbreak! QED. Safe as houses. …And so on through the system, flying 90% likely contaminated back on the same plane as healthy people against orders, and Oops! Whaddya knows? My bad: they had it. And then kicking the known-infected out of a strict military base into a halfway house with open doors in a residential district of a town of 1M greater area. That’s just #AntiLogic! The only logic we knows here in Idiocracy. We’ll feed them Brawndo and give them Starbucks. Remember 8,000 ‘voluntary’ quarantines, except we have no list of names, no idea if they’re doing anything, and no one’s checking.
And thus, on and on forever, until the good and logical people stand up and wrest control of the system back away from the lunatic zealots of #AntiLogos. Which, as they haven’t bothered in my lifetime, much less back when it was a lot easier, it’s going to be a long, long time, maybe a generation, and 800 million dead would be an optimistic number. First to go will be me and Chris Martenson no doubt, for correctly pointing out #Truth that if you act like an idiot you’re going to kill everyone, it’s voluntary, unnecessary, and dumb. Because we WANT 800 million dead. I’ve been reading about how awesome that is most of my life but at least all year from every corner, especially from international heroes like Gates and St. Greta. Why WOULD you stop? Help it. #Resist by flying in as many cruise ships and Chinese students and keeping the borders as open as possible. Erase ICE if you can! If anyone tries not to die, call them a racist. Because as we know the laws of physics depend on your skin color and change from place to place.
Meanwhile, 40 + 47 = 87 incinerators running, ballpark 2,610/day x 60 days = 156,600 numbers that don’t care about your feelings. But you can die for your antiscience religion and political correct cause if you wish. And they are. And no one’s at all mad, any interest in changing behavior, so who am I to say? Isn’t this like the Moorlocks or Star Trek where they jump into the incinerators on command for a virtual war?
Speaking of theatre and voluntary, “Weinstein to Face 8 More Allegations after New York Verdict (G.)” the NY D.A. who took money from Weinstein and didn’t prosecute him for 20 years is suddenly all into this verdict. Yeah! That’ll larn him. Right behind him is the L.A. prosecutor who did the very same thing. …And somehow nobody else in all of Hollywood, ever did this, ever. It’s almost like it’s all a big puppet show.
“US Proposals to Whitewash Idlib Terrorists Unacceptable – Lavrov (RT)”
Another day, another day Trump hasn’t stopped the war and moved the troops home. Another day Congress hasn’t removed his (illegal) power to do so, nor impeached him for it. It’s almost like it’s all a big….oh wait I said that already.
“Julian Assange faces life in prison for publishing true information that was in the public interest…if truth becomes treason we are all in trouble.”
IF? That’s like IF we have a pandemic. Where have you been? It’s been like that all my life. It’s almost like there’s no principle, no law, and it’s all one big…illusion? show? joke? con?
These are not serious people. They will die of it and take you with them.
Intolerant America with the Greek/Russian Orthodox church in the background, already built by 1941 without any trouble, filled with Greek/Russian speakers. It’s almost like we’re a melting pot that receives everyone for a better life, then gives it to them in exchange for hard work. You know, going back to 1650, to a million immigrants a year today, all of whom think we’re better than where they came from. Us evil Nazi, racist, oppressive bad guys. …You know, except less than every other nation on earth where they came from. Worst system ever, except all others.

But don’t worry! We’ll be on top forever and it’ll all work out because: reasons. Failing that, our opponents could have an unfortunate accident that shuts down their factories for a year.
They’re having a very hard time getting to a brokered convention that they can cheat and steal from Bernie. The people hate Neo-Libs and billionaire Bloombergs just so, so much. With good reason? I’ve been saying that for years, decades. Downside: DNC has been promising people they’re not Socialist, not open border world-wide communist brotherhood revolution, not coming for your guns, Bibles, and free speech for 100 years, since Wilson and the Progressives signed up with the segregationists at the KKK. Well, now they have all those things between one candidate or another, and applaud it all while being against hard work, nation, family, ownership, and being left alone to your own desires.
But don’t worry, for the 40 or 50 years we’ve been saying this, we were crazy and making it all up. It only JUST happened in this last month! Honest!
If that’s what they are, great! It’s a free country, believe what you want. However, like whether your guy is gay, sleeping around, whatever, just be HONEST about it. They sort of are, at least in political terms, so good. Now we can vote if we want those things like normal folks.
Oh and Russia – which is not Socialist – wants to elect Sanders, a Socialist, AND Trump, a Capitalist, AND Gabbard, an Army Major and moderate, AND everybody else except Buttigieg, who we all know is just a super-tough guy. Weird, huh? And weird how a country the size of New Jersey runs every election on earth and is still being surrounded by nukes with all their allies attacked to standstill. It’s almost like that doesn’t make any sense. But that’s just #Logic! Better than logic: CNN/NBC logic.
With a WHO that – with 1 BILLION people on watch or lockdown, still says “Nothing to see here, no pandemic” — China FINALLY gets rid of the ridiculous food market nonsense: “Chinese Scientists Find Coronavirus Did Not Originate in Wuhan Seafood Market” Huh. So you’re going to apologize and reinstate all the people who were banned BY the WHO for saying that obvious, obvious thing back in January? And by denying, got unknown scores of people killed?
N. O. P. E. But don’t worry, they have out their Wuhan report this morning, so they can get in a LOT more lies and a LOT more banning of people who call them on it and tell the truth. Same as yesterday.“The vast majority of cases and deaths are still in Hubei province, but who cares, we must produce.”
This doesn’t have to do with money. It has to do with keeping things running to get food, gloves, delivery truck parts, cell towers working. You’re not going to fight Covid from a cave, collecting rainwater. If not, then things need to function. I’d ask them back to the factories and quarantine them there, with cots in the back. Would you rather sit at home on Netflix-and-Starve? I’d rather keep my country running with a decontamination fog on the back dock. Cash or profit is not the point. It’s a given they – the world – is just going to print cash and profits.
“In Milan, grocery stores were emptied by panic-stricken shoppers, and shortages of disinfectant and respirators have been reported.”
This is the point. Somebody has to make those things. Profit doesn’t make them, people do. Money is a symbol, a joke, it doesn’t matter, physics do.
“Record Two Million Britons at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes (Ind.)”
Meanwhile a far deadlier epidemic nobody cares about. It hits all the right people and generates nice lifetime profits. Probably deadlier than opioids. #Winning! Hey, what were those 50s films about healthy eating, healthy life? Gross. How dare you be pro-health, pro-children, pro-nation. You can’t oppress me and tell me what to do! Even if it’s naming the obvious consequences of my voluntary actions, you Nazi!
How helping and hurting are all mixed up now in #OppositeLand. Preventing you from running in traffic is #Hate. Stopping black babies from being killed is #Racism. And of course: “the campaign of a Jewish presidential candidate whose family was wiped out by the Nazis [is now] the third Reich.”
When you’re core #AntiLogos, it goes on and on; on and on forever, with more time than I have to describe it. The only logic is #AntiLogic. The only truth is #Lies.
“The red dresses are a symbol of the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.”
What was that “first they came for me”? First they came for the native girls, rape and disappear them, in Pine Ridge, then Skid Row, then the girls of Milwaukee and Minnesota, setting up Epstein’s cottage on a girls’ band camp, for best worldwide recruitment…THEN of course accidental murder. Oh and then in U.K. grooming gangs, still not looked at “Because the girls liked it, and did it voluntarily” every government since it started still claims. And I’d say it’s “You’re Next” but it’s been you already, every day of my natural life. No adults cared, anywhere, put my picture on a milk carton and walked away, to go have their friend at work watch pron and sleep with the babysitter. You can’t judge me!
Actually, I can. And I have. But it’s not my judgement you should be worried about.
Pretty useless around here. With 1 Billion people under quarantine, 33 countries and 4 continents involved, involved, a death rate of 3-10%, even normal, conscious people like Tim Pool say, “You know, we might want to not be ashamed to do something, sometime, you know, in the future. They’re thinking about maybe calling this an ‘epidemic’. It might get serious someday, who knows?” Clue phone: 1 BILLION people? Hello, hello…?
“ . . . “
Yeah, if we don’t look out, this might turn into something, you know, dangerous, like a thing we might want to do something about and s—t. You know who isn’t serious? You guys. They are not serious people. They are incapable of serious thoughts and actions. They are not adults. The only upside here is that at least they will (mostly) die with the rest of us. The downside is, it’s THEIR inability to be serious, logical, to read words like “40 day quarantine” with their little eyes and have them land on their brain like any 10-year-old can is the CAUSE of the problem. But that’s #Facts. Must be resisted at all costs, even if you die of it.
And you thought I was lying, exaggerating. Sadly no, if all the wars and thousands of deaths, slave markets, child rape swaps, and endless impoverishment of virtually everyone didn’t clue you in.
Next part: nobody is in the least mad about it. They’re not going to do anything about any of the seven levels of h—l they’ve intentionally put upon you, for your own family soon dying. Applause! They finally found a war that culls 5% of the planet’s poor in a way we can all get behind! #Winning! Just as they’ve written continuously for 50 years, and Oops!, an accident.
“coronavirus crisis could slice a full percentage point off growth this year”
Not serious.
“China’s car market is likely to see sales slide more than 10 per cent”
Not serious.
“14 Americans who tested positive had been put on a plane with healthy passengers,”
Not serious.
“The South Korean government lodged a complaint with Israel over its abrupt entry ban against South Koreans”
Not serious.
“US Says Russia Behind Coronavirus Disinformation Campaign (G.)”
Never serious.
And I’ll tell you here, no American, not even medical people are in the least serious about it either. They’re all going to smack into the medical/economic brick wall and put on their surprised face and say, “Who’d a thunk? Nobody coulda knowd.” except for literally everyone, and a million preppers since the 90’s who told you about police militarization, the fake war, the housing crash, the tech bubble, the patriot act, and literally everything else that’s happened since then. I’d tell you 3 years ago when they started the idiotic, irrational charge into “driverless cars” and “home drone deliveries” “door-front pickup” that mostly can’t be done and make not a lick of sense in God’s green earth except to confront quarantines we didn’t (yet) have. Nobody saw that with me? I’m not even smart. Nope, medical people, being ‘experts’ are going to do nothing, plan nothing, change nothing, stock nothing. Okay, that’s not fair, they’re smart people: 5% of them will try to do something and be shut down by taffy and red tape by the other 95%. Tell me if in your experience I’ve got this right, Dr. D.
The only death is lies, their god. Lies will save them. Or rather, save us, by buying time, arranging, hiding, investing, divesting, shorting, stocking, hiding, preparing, laughing, scheming.
The rest: “Government would never lie, they always tell the perfect truth and I believe everything they say, and — even should they ever fail, and I’m not saying they have — I would give them more power to commit more lies and more failures. And when Russian Hitler runs it all, why then I’ll give government more power and budget than ever. That’s just common sense! I print their lies, repeat their lies, believe their lies, live for their lies, deny their lies, and die for them, with a smile on my dying lips. Just as a true and willing zealot, disciple to the religion of lies, should.”
So go ahead and believe them, who have lied to you every minute of every day since the beginning, and got another 10,000 people killed. All about the origin, false, about the transmission, false, about the incubation, false, about the testing, false, about their policies and concern, false, until it comes to you and me. Which it will thanks to them, and the lie-believers, those who for a generation have done everything, hollowed everything, overlooked everything, loosed everything, to make this possible.
Another 4th generation for nothing, forgotten again, as Santayana said. Put me in the middle of it, with all the books, all the movies, all the knowledge, and learn nothing, do nothing, until all your children die, and are finally wise enough to not do it. …For a mere 70 more years.
No one’s gong to do anything. Look at them. They can’t even distinguish reality. Not even to save their lives. And so they, we, you and me, will all die for it. For their religion of the love of lies. Please stop.
Today’s edition of “We make s—t up”, from the Yale-graduate short bus, the media reports that Trump offered Assange a pardon for claiming Russia did NOT hack the servers.
–Sigh– Okay, let’s Ukraine 2.0 all over again: Wikileaks ALREADY said Russia wasn’t involved. They said that from the beginning. So what was being offered? To say what they already said was already true? To offer to NOT lie, change their testimony and continue to tell the truth? That’s not leverage.
…Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand why did they suddenly discover and repeat this 3 year old story? Because they know Assange is about to testify that very fact, the one he always said was true from the beginning, so they need to make it seem like, like, whatever, who cares? so long as we lie, make stuff up and discredit it. “Notice, Idiot public: whatever Assange says is a lie, because he’s never told a lie before but Big Brother, who ALWAYS lies, says so. Your slavish compliance is appreciated. With more boots on more faces, forever.”
That was jumped on yesterday, so they have a new story already today: Wikileaks lawyer admits it WASN’T Trump at all. THEY offered their ordinary, already-existing testimony TO Trump, in return for a pardon, and Trump completely ignored them. ‘Cause today, Feb 19, he’s witness tampering. By refusing and ignoring. Just like Ukraine. Right.
So with this level of complete bald-face lies and smears, total illogic, and transparent contradictions, it’s Thursday, I guess.
I wouldn’t trust Assange’s lawyers any more than I would trust Flynn’s. But again, getting him into Congress to testify is the only way to settle this thing – or so they think. In reality it will never be settled, they will never believe any testimony, by any person, ever, even their own, so long as they win. They’ll even hug and kiss and fondle Bolton and Bloomberg and every blackface Governor and Prime Minister they can find if they can win. But you have to try for the public’s sake to get it on record, under oath, and tell the truth once. Then the Supreme Court can toss the ridiculous cases of convicting a news PUBLISHER, who is not American, and has always been on foreign soil, because of more reasons than I can name, but let’s just pick “jurisdiction.”
Unexpectedly, we learned nothing from the Diamond Princess, since when the Japanese doctor got there, he went apoplectic and said, “What are you doing??? Nobody on the ship was even separated! You didn’t follow any procedures at all! People aren’t this dumb and irresponsible and careless even in darkest Africa!!!”
(Japanese) Government Bureaucrat: “I don’t know why you’re yelling at me, we told them to, you know, be careful and s—t. It’s not my fault for establishing no procedures and then not enforcing anything while watching porn on my government PC while another 80 people died unnecessarily and probably the whole ship is now contaminated, probably killing a few hundred-thou in Japan thanks to me, Gawd!”
Add it to the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long list of people the government kills with their “helping.” They just helped everyone on board to death. You’re next.
Please: believe everything they say, obey everything they order. I’m sure it’ll all work out for you. Or for me, anyway, as Darwin kills off the less fit, i.e. those who can’t figure out which side they’re being killed from. (90% of the time from the police, government, official, monopoly-business side)
Goes to show nothing, N O T H I N G can ever, ever wake people up. Not their family’s death, not even their own. I suppose if something could, we wouldn’t have wars.
Speaking of helping, China is going to re-define more COVID cases out of existence. Because that’s always the solution! I will heal you with my lies! If that doesn’t work, MORE lies! Obviously they have many ten-thousand “pneumonia” deaths because they don’t have enough tests to go around, but they’re going to define it even narrower. If they can define it enough, no one will dies at all! #Winning! “’We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality…”
…Except for that teeeeny, tiny problem of 1B people being out of work and not having an economy. Other than that, lying’s working great!!! We’re going to do more lying tomorrow!
For our purposes, pneumonia is not all that common, so you could probably add 100% of those cases and not have enough error to matter. …However no one can get to a hospital and China will lie about that too, so…
“will be instructed to never use the word coronavirus again and instead attributed covid-19 fatalities to far more mundane causes such as pneumonia, and ordinary flu”
Ah, Science!™ So honest and accurate as everyone lies! It’s my god! Always wrong, never doubted. Even when we see garbage go in with our own eyes, expect spun gold to come out. ‘Cause they said! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
“Disembarked Japanese passengers, however, face no such restrictions..”
Or pure spun s—t comes out. Amazingly #AntiScience. AntiSocial, AntiHuman, AntiSurvival. But that’s our religion. Any rules, sense, anything that helps or makes people stay alive, it’s evil, must be stopped on general principles. But sure, release on 14-day quarantine for a known 28-day disease…that you might get re-exposed to, re-acquire, for maybe 40 days, and can be spread asymptomatically around the world. Wasn’t like they were going to stop it anyway. Thanks to all this love of #AntiLogos, you’re going to get it, and people you know are going to die. In the next room. In your bed. Coughing on you. Enjoy! Nothing else was going to get through to you, and probably not you ever anyway, but your children might watch your horrible, pointless, purposeful death and learn something. Or my death, since we’re all going to get it now or else die of the supply chain failure, just as the dumbest hillbillies in the world told you would happen if you did this (coughNAFTAcough) 30 years ago. Nice knowing you.
For Stone, who would probably serve two years if he were me, or one year because he’s an insider, Obama pardons, 1,927. Trump pardons, 35. Pardons of Stone = 0. Abuse of power?

“Greece Labels Erdogan a Liar (K.)”
Surprise to no one, Erdogan wants to reclaim the greater Ottoman Empire, as openly said for years, and is actively taking Syria, Cyprus, and to a lesser extent even Greece right now. NATO applauds. Yay, violent wars of aggression! U.N. approved! As a NATO member and in Europe, we’ll PAY them to invade in wars of aggression. Against our own brother Greece, creator of democracy. Hey, who wants to stay in EU, amirite?
Well won’t matter now. And they (let’s say ‘Trump’, but Cuomo, CA and VA too) can push through anything they want because we’ll be too busy to protest and can’t aggregate in large numbers to vote and protest. …Says Virginia, taking a break from illegal confiscation, violent oppression, and open civil war for a few months until they can hide it under the Corona banner. You didn’t think they were going to stop and obey any law did you? Heavens, no! That would be #Logos, law, rule, order, reality. We cannot have that. Never again. If we didn’t have the world’s biggest mess, how would they accept our antihuman, unbearable and intolerable #Solutions? Silly.
Can we erase Customs, ICE, and have open borders now? It’s only logical. If your logic is #AntiLogic, and ours is. And you will die of it, as an example to others.
Life is Tough, It’s Tougher If You’re Stupid – John Wayne
Honestly, yes I would or would not convict someone charged with a crime by FBI depending on the evidence.
I would have a far more jaundiced view than anyone there, perhaps, knowing the FBI lab was fake for years and reading about several famous cases each year with made-up non-evidence like Peltier, Dr. Hatfill, and no one cars, nothing is cleaned up, no reform has even been tried for decades of failure that stretch back to the very first day with J. Edgar’s famous (congressional) blackmail department — the very reason for their existence — but what could I do? This is the jury, this is the evidence, and despite myself I’m still too likely to believe them because I wouldn’t have access to evidence about what exactly to doubt, or why. Probably a lot of cases are real and most people are indeed guilty.
The problem being no police or prosecutor I’ve met or read really cares about your Joe Friday level of adherence to the law. It’s enough to think the guy is guilty of something, sometime, and press your case any way that doesn’t keep you up at night. Luckily it usually is the guy found on the scene, usually is the husband, the ex-boyfriend, it is what it looks like, what you think it is. …And then 10% of the time it isn’t, they didn’t bother looking, don’t care, and get promoted to 6-figure pensions.
This is why they need to be held not just to standard, but to a HIGHER standard, and why — as is not happening now anywhere — the Prosecution is required to give ALL evidence to the Defense, required to have real, specific warrants, is required to not rig the judge and jury, is required to offer a jury trial and not plead out, to presume innocence, to not trial you to bankruptcy, leak and attack your reputation, hold you without bail for the years before delayed trial, and about a hundred other amazingly clear laws and standards. So if these rich, connected insiders can’t get within 100 miles of a fair trial, what are the chances for a guy like me?
Here’s one for you: harmless party friends of mine back in the day got investigated for drugs. Outsider friend gets talked to, bats her eyelashes, gets out her kneepads or whatever and pleads to DEA. They want it to be this particular guy because I dunno, it looks best for the optics, think he’ll stand up to federal prison best, whatever. They just randomly decide among the crew that it’s him. They randomly pick that she’s the informer and completely exonerate her. They randomly set the crime they pick and more or less randomly set the the punishment.
Did they do it, posses and sell drugs for party friends? Sure. But they picked like the 5th guy among 7 in terms of his guilt. And they released the 1st gal in terms of crime and danger to society. Everyone else was guilty too and walked away. So is that any way to run a criminal justice system? Randomly, based on their chance of promotion by inventing cartoon stories from raw cloth?
I’d say not. If these are the rules, we enforce them, evenly, properly, legally, with real evidence and some passing care as to the truth. They don’t. But as the juror, that would be outside my task at that moment. I might be suspicious, but could still convict. Would anyone want less? My job is to advertise the truth and demand reform OUTSIDE the jury, every day, as a citizen. That is the appropriate time and place for it, and as you see, I do not shirk my duty.
The Liberty Ships remind me that a) we have no steel, no ships, no docks, no workers, and no manufacturing, and b) with 1B people on lockdown, the entire supply chain has halted and will not begin again. So set your clock as all the goods and their feedstocks – even a single chip or screw, even a single plastic package or bottle – go missing and so even domestic goods will be shut off. Thanks for playing! Hope you liked those cheap, disposable, slave-made shoes now that you’re barefoot! Oh and the corollary, c) Inflation, “Too much money chasing too few goods.”
From yesterday, that was the reason all the candidates, even plausible insider Neo-libs like Gillibrand painted up like Bernie far-left and catastrophically lost doing it, because it’s transparently false and the people know it. But the point was exclusively to sap Bernie’s very real support and maintain the insiders for new election-tampering. Warren’s still doing that, and it’s still transparent.
Later, long-time Republican Bloomberg’s dismal, violent, illegal, racist, sexist history (Yay! Front-runner material!) will make their hand-picked go-boy like Pete look downright grand. I don’t think that’s a winning plan though. Of course they COULD pick a people’s candidate that will actually HELP the working class, instead of the super-rich, warmongering Daddy Warbucks, and a fig leaf of fringe leftists and win against the easiest opponent ever, but that seems too much to ask right now.
Already have to turn to attack the right, got a single day off. So…increasing bombs in a still-occupied Syria, saying nothing about Europe and Turkey invading Libya, pardoning a whole lineup of dismal criminals, probably for the blackmail info they have, AND still not arresting anyone for the 10,000 crimes of the 50 criminal names Kunstler listed for the 5 minutes of white-collar crimes Redacted named. Catastrophically lying about the total lack of a quarantine on a world-wide virus, and the economic effect, war-like rationing and shortages for years. Stopping Germany from getting critical gas, and embargoing Russia (while increasing space and nukes), an act of war. Yup, it’s Wednesday.
With corona, apparently same as SARS you can’t really make a vaccine. As such. Probably why it was chosen. However, it can be disrupted with protease inhibitors.
“Boeing Finds Debris in Fuel Tanks of Undelivered 737 MAX Planes (CNBC)”
It’s weird how when Honda uses these exact same workers to do the same job, this never happens. It’s almost like Boeing has corrupt, piss-poor management that lives in a cushy government monopoly and all needs to be fired. Thanks government! That’s another 350 people to add to your death list!
“an unwitting participant in a covert CIA experiment with LSD…MK Ultra”
But that’s an unhinged conspiracy theory, even though you can read it in their budget and records and a dozen books have been written on it with open data!!! Nope, nope, nope. And he was Mueller’s boy over there in Boston. Golly, wonder why? So confused. Is anyone going to look into this since it’s on open government record? Nope! I’ll just write that it’s false without calling anybody or reading the thousand pages of freely available documents.
(…I wouldn’t let him off as she (the journalist) suggests, but I sure need to know the person who paid for the hit man’s services, wouldn’t you? Oh, and why? I didn’t think we did assassinations, and particularly of domestic citizens without trial and process. Who authorized it?)
“Religion is a Repeating Chapter in the History of Politics (CP)”
The religion of liars and lies, for whom the truth has never been in their mouth. The only thing I can say is that economics is worse.
No idea why Britain even wants the statues. Is there an alien nuclear reactor inside? Otherwise, don’t care where it is, unless they know and are arranging for Turkey to invade Greece, as Erdogan has spoken of and is planning. For that matter, I don’t care about the statues or Acropolis either: why not train the world’s talent to make new ones that are shiny, fixed, and complete? Is that not also a human achievement, or can only our ancestors accomplish things?
Bloomberg demonstrates far better than I ever could how to create the next Holodomor and kill the next ten million people with his “expert” policies. “”You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn,” Uh-huh. I vote to put him on an island with 100 seeds of corn and see how he does. I’ll even pre-dig the holes! He’d be dead in 6 months. But that would be only him. If he gets in charge, we’ll ALL be dead in 6 years with his genius expert help. Just ask FDR, the LAST expert who helped hunger in America by pouring out milk and plowing crops under. #Winning! Just like we won the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs!
Bezos, the next “expert” “helping” us all to death, says “Jeff Bezos Launches $10 Billion “Bezos Earth Fund” to Fight Climate Change” which he could do far more simply by NOT blizzard-shipping goods worldwide TO then from China, and would also employ U.S. workers not in murderous sweatshops with ambulances parked outside. Don’t hold your breath.
People never get tired of it. Even when they’re immolated by their “expert” “Genius” lithium powered car, “helping” the environment by cutting down forests, paving the topsoil for 1,000 years, mining lithium, then setting it on fire. That’s a plan so good, we should subsidize it!
Ah #Government, doing what they do best: killing people. And charging them for the privilege.
“338 Americans Flown Home from Cruise Ship, Including 14 with Coronavirus (R.)”
They were testing quarantine on these guys, and I don’t exactly blame them. Newsflash: it failed. So that tells us that common procedures are inadequate to contain it, and only exceptional, heroic (and expensive and/or impossible) measures will contain it. …So basically kiss it goodbye, everybody is getting this thing. Also no picture page of the victims, as often happens, and no tallies of deaths in China vs out.
The NY Times admits – only because the Chinese ‘government’ appears to have admitted – that there was indeed a breach at the Wuhan lab. You know, the one across the street from the fish market? (Good planning). The worker quarantined himself responsibly for 14 days. …Buuuuut the incubation period may be at least 28. Why bring this up? EVERY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET IS STILL DENYING THIS AS A CONSPIRACY THEORY. Yes, AFTER it’s essentially been confirmed by the Chinese government itself, no doubt with a bitter fight.Okay, folks: if you didn’t realize it when you got your Press Pass, in journalism NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED YET, that’s why they call it NEWS. It just happened or is still happening. It’s YOUR job to take the facts, use your head, and try to tell the public what did or might have happened first. That means there are various theories as to how or why (Ah, but who uses even ONE of the 5 W’s anymore?) and those questions may persist, you know, FOREVER. As in, “so and so was accused of murder and went to court, and there is evidence, but claims he’s innocent.” Is he guilty? Today’s Non…or actually #ANTIJournalists…would decide #Truth according to what is popular with their friends on Twitter, call no one for a statement, and not open this neat thing called “Google” that would have this neat thing called “information” to check.
Did it happen? Was it a release? An accident? A Bioweapon? Who the heck knows? Because I am, you know, a man, who is you know, alive, I’ll suppose it did for many reasons, but that’s just my conclusion from the facts and you can draw another. I’ll say that for you so you can run away screaming like a little girl. The point is that NO ONE KNOWS. That means asking (and printing) questions is YOUR JOB. Yet they will print that theories are de-facto fake, because they exist, because they don’t prefer them, without asking any questions, calling anyone, smearing everyone, because a hostile foreign government that runs open concentration camps says so, AND are proving a negative to boot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proving_a_negative But they’re from Yale, so be sure to fasten their helmets to the short bus, and drag us all along, tossing our IQs down a well, with all America. #DumbestEver. Hey, a strange and suspicious new supervirus was first discovered 300 feet from China’s biggest bio-lab, and unlike all other viruses, is killing everyone on earth. Whaddya think? Related?
P.S. about the cruise ships, I love how they describe that separating one husband and one wife, in quarantine, is the real tragedy here. Because they’re rich guys from the West, I guess? Hey reporter: maybe to get any cred in your job you might want to go somewhere, you know, — not a safe space — and witness, I dunno, “News” where people actually die of life? Being in the U.S. I can do that right here at home, down the street from my house, so you might want to try it. Millions of people, billions, maybe even most people ever, have died of infection and fever and stopped breathing at home in their beds with their families. Most everybody ever before 1900. You might have heard of it, it’s in “books” made of “history.” Try it sometime. Now it’s our turn. Clue: being two rich peoples, alive, under tremendous medical intervention, and just in two different rooms communicating by radio cell phone does NOT happen to be the greatest tragedy on earth today. But if you “called” the individuals on the “phone” for a “statement”, instead of sitting in Brooklyn on Twitter, you might learn that. I imagine the elderly couple would tell you themselves. If you asked.
“One email disclosed that Islamic State (ISIS) was bankrolled by the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, from which Clinton accepted huge “donations”.”
Part or a lot of the plan is to divert focus from the leaks – which have never been proven false, have never once been contested – to Wikileaks, Assange, etc. That way they all escape with thousands of bitter, mass-murdering, unconstitutional crimes of power and personal profit. And it’s working great! No one’s even talking about the worldwide robbery and mass-murder campaign they were running.
The shut down indicates they are about to release some juicy new information that will ALSO be true and uncontested, so they’re shutting down 60 Minutes, ZeroHedge, and anybody else they can find.
All boring.
So Redacted pointed out why they have 21 candidates in the race. It’s election arcana: a DNC needs 1,990 votes to be the automatic candidate. So the FIRST order of business, back last year, was to stop that. I mean, we don’t want a candidate the DNC voters prefer, think of what could happen! So with 21 (24?) candidates, each might get, one vote, even Patrick, which happened several times in Iowa, bleeding off critical votes to ‘accidentally’ cause Bernie to be one vote short. Works! And it’s working even today. They probably didn’t expect it be this bad, but the people hate the Neo-Libs Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!! And they’ve sniffed out that Cheatin’ Pete is one, which would take 60 seconds on “Google”. So because of election arcana, without a set candidate, it goes to “Contested”, where then the insiders can use their much-detested undemocratic “Superdelegates” (some animals are more equal), combine hated Bloomberg with pointless, uninspired Klobuchar, or CIA-puppet Pete with Hillary…whatever works! And obviously screw Bernie, lock out the party, and prevent democracy. Of course! Laissez le bon temps rouler! Mo’ money, Mo’ money, mo’ war, mo’ circular kickbacks from Lockheed and Ukraine, from Planned Parenthood and tens-billion$$$ of “stimulus” money that got 25 jobs created.
Oh wait, did I say ‘so boring’? So boring. Problem is, when they screw their base, like 55% of them, they’re not going to turn out to vote and you lose all. But if there’s a quarantine in the election, we can contest the general and try that beautiful civil war again. But when you’re #AntiLogos by religion, this is your goal, your nirvana, this is what you do.
If it were me — and I’m trying to help here — you could pick a candidate the people want and elect them against the easiest opponent ever, and you know, steal a wee leeetle bit less, maybe only as much as the multi-trillion thefts of the 2000’s? Nope!
Do not understand. But that’s good. It’s better if they lose and therby lose the opportunity to murder and steal. And the Civil War in Virginia is on hold for now. Actually showing up and getting involved worked. The hazard of an election loss – and against the fear of the people justly shooting you in the streets – finally got through to them and they conceded, “You know, creating laws the people won’t follow and we can’t enforce and the whole enforcement arm will quit over actually ISN’T a wise thing.” Aha! Lightbulb finally goes off, and they didn’t have to use the clue-by-four on the back of the cranium at all, just remind them it exists and we wield it, like that old document I posted yesterday said. But I wouldn’t get saucy, they’ll be back, again and again, forever and ever, trying ever-again to have unelected, unaccountable government run roughshod boots on the face of…you know, everyone…forever, just as that guy once said.
Just another Tuesday.
It wouldn’t be a king if he’s voted in and out.
It would be WORSE than a king if the courtiers and advisors decide, can never be named, can never be appealed, can never be questioned, and can never be removed.
That’s the only form of government WORSE than democracy and WORSE than a king. At least occasionally kings can be benevolent. Democracies can work a little at first.
Henchmen only. You have suggested the only method by which the government is preeminent, and is never accountable to, nor restrained by, the people. The people are an afterthought, cattle to be used. Pure, unabashed tyranny. And of what? OF the FEW, those civil employees, OVER the many, the people and taxpayers who exist strictly at their pleasure, i.e. YOU. And me. Or if they spend 20 years ignoring and avoiding the prosecution of rapes of underage girls in Minnesota for the elite on a small island in the Caribbean, exist FOR their pleasure. And there’s nothing you can do. We cannot even QUESTION if it’s wrong.
It’s almost like, “a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance,” but you see how the people deal with such men, and such disorder as they cause.
I intend to question my civil servants, because they ARE servants, and hold them accountable to law, ALL law, for they are human beings like the rest of us, and NOT superior, not our betters, not more equal. And that’s a revolutionary thing, I guess, so I’ll outline it here, where someone has kindly written it for me:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration~280~ The TRUTH About Pete Buttigieg, Leaked Bloomberg Audio, Julian Assange Out Of Solitary
Because the media totally isn’t lying and is doing their job, covering 1st 5 obvious things on Wall St. Pete. But posting for 13:30, where he takes 5 minutes to read the high-level mostly white-collar, multi-billion dollar crimes that no one cares about. And is hard on Trump. Wouldn’t want confirmation bias. But for real things he’s actually done/is doing, which is how you know it’ll never be on T.V. The only enemy is the truth. Like the name of God, we must never have the Truth in our mouth. Even if it would win, help us, and make impeachment and the election easier. Because that’s our religion.
Oh and 18:15 on Assange. With solutions!
They’re still at this weeks later. So…NY Times follows all of us from, dunno, a month ago, that the Wuhan market is, 300 meters from the Wuhan biological weapons lab. Ya don’t say? Who’d a thunk? But no, really a bat ate a pangolin who ate a human. …And as reported — by China — that human was a lab worker. In that lab. Total accident, perfectly natural. Nope! Although we’ve been using bioweapons since Genghis Khan catapulted bodies over the walls, nobody never did nothin’. In the lab. 300 meters from the outbreak point. So don’t eat those animals.
Moving on, so since we now known – and have known for days – that the tests aren’t perfect…and we’ve known that fact since since tests were invented…we then give one test and kick you out the door. …In 14 days. Because we know that the incubation can be 28, if not more, since unlike many, you can be re-infected. But sure, we ship everybody worldwide, with no precautions, after getting all together, breathing heavily, in a half-quarantine, making sure we’ve been as close as possible.
No one is bothered at all. No one gets in trouble. “Who could have known?” You know, except everyone who’s ever been a doctor, anyone who’s done any training in epidemics, or anyone who’s seen a movie or read a pulp-fiction thriller on the subject.
Okey! Dokey! Trust the Government and the World Health Organization. They make expert decisions on your behalf and when have they ever lied to you, created bioweapons, or used them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare#Modern_historyOh except everywhere, all the time. But remember: we’re the good guys, so it’s okay and totally not against the 1925 Geneva Convention when we do it.
Yes, please trust your government and media. It’s just straight Darwinism, maybe leaving the rest of us to survive a little. In aggregate.
“1,100 Former DOJ Employees Call on Barr to Resign (NPR)”
Wow, thanks for being political and putting your name on a list. It’s so much easier now. Is that wrong? Well, if the permanent bureaucracy sets all policy, decides who’s hired, fired, what gets done, what do we have elections for? So, you’re saying we WANT an unaccountable, unelectable, un-removable, permanent group, you know, oligarchy, Deep State, an EU, whatever you want to call it, and for the people to have no say, no power, no chance except armed resistance. Got it. We know. You’ve been saying that for decades. That’s what we’re deciding right now. But if it doesn’t go according to democracy having an effect, your man Swalwell may have to break out the nukes and drop them on his own country, because like everywhere else on earth, the people won’t stand for it.
Your choice. Hey what did that Democrat say? “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Hey nobody important, amirite? Just some idiot who said he’d break up the undermining, back-stabbing, undemocratic CIA and spread their ashes to the wind. …Who knew that and told you publicly that was true 60 years ago. And the President before him. And…
“The electric carmaker had been clearing forest land near the capital, Berlin,”
That’s ‘cause there’s no open land, no unused factories anywhere on planet earth already. Don’t you know it’s green when we pave the planet from sea to shining sea? P.S. don’t spill a quart of oil in your lawn or you’ll be arrested and fined by the EPA . ‘Cause that’s green! That’s logic!
…And that’s kid’s stuff compared to the wars we fight and the mountains we level for the lithium mines. Behold! A Pale Green (Chloros) Horse!
“Australia Broadcaster Loses Newsroom Raid Case (BBC)”
Since they all worship government and fascism, they can enjoy the full consequences of their actions. Because #Logos, reality, is, you know, real. Nah. We’ll deny it and act super surprised.
“Sidney Powell: One Atrocity After The Other In Michael Flynn Case (SAC) “
The problem with all of these is that once you get started, they are all unavoidably political in nature. If they prosecute it’s political. If they don’t prosecute it’s political. If they review the prosecutor, it’s political. If they don’t review the prosecutor it’s political. Which person they use to review is political.
That being the case, what can be done? You can only try to make the original trials exceptionally clean, you know, by not keeping publicly biased jurors and hiding evidence, then having an agreed-upon outside review and make it all transparent. Because you can only embrace that it IS political, and thereby let the public review it with sunlight. …So far that’s not really happening, but moves in that direction are to be commended. We’ll see the same thing for all of them and let the election decide.
This leads to the problem of why they were never prosecuted in the first place and how it got this bad. Because, just as we’ve seen, if you’re “political” in any form, you soon realize you are immune from prosecution and can therefore commit all crimes with impunity, just invoking the mantle of “political witch hunt”, for you, your family, your family’s friends, past, present, and future through all time. Is there any wonder corruption should prosper?
This is why – quite the opposite – not only do positions of power have an obligation not to commit corruption – obviously – but to avoid even the APPEARANCE of corruption, and this is indeed already codified in rules and law, as both State Department said, and then moved to counter under Biden’s involvement in Ukraine, for instance, or Trump Hotels reimbursing receipts from foreign dignitaries to Treasury. But this is why it’s vital that government and anybody in it be MORE clean, MORE scrutinized, held to even a HIGHER standard than the public is. Because of Lord Acton. “When people fear their government, tyranny; when the government fears the people, Liberty.” However, this cannot be done in a culture, a nation, of universal corruption, nor can it be fixed except by rejecting corruption within ourselves and coming back to #Logos, the law.
This isn’t on the horizon, or won’t happen without great hardship, so here we are. Even if successful, without that, they can patch it together for some years, fail to dig up the root, and we will return to corruption and fail a little later on. Just as Rome. But that’s the way with these things.
The real corruption isn’t “Them”, it’s “Us.” They are only a reflection of ourselves.
As he couldn’t toss the holdovers or get impeached, as is usually done since Andrew Jackson (“to the victor go the spoils”), ex. Obama, Trump has now finally fired the people who should have been fired the first day. …After salting them with moles and following the warren with FISA warrants to find out who’s who. This isn’t rocket surgery. And oh! The screaming, the screaming! A single man got fired! End of the universe, dogs and cats… He coming for your family, Minnesota! Hey, guys: like everything else in this administration, he didn’t even get fired. He was on loan to the White House and went back to Defense, didn’t even lose a pay grade. This is what we do to people who are open insubordinates and are caught and admit to lying about whistleblowers and tampering with evidence: apparently nothing. No rule of law again today, as for all of my life. And even THAT is too much for the media. Cait Johnstone is the only one more salty than I am about it. https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/puppet-pete-says-revolution-and-the-status-quo-arent-mutually-exclusive-f3262fbeecea
Just seemed worth a mention as they’re going for Second Impeachment now.
https://i.redd.it/vk1vzbtnv5541.jpg‘Cause the whole country’s really in the mood, it raised $1.5M for his campaign, raised his approval, and the election is 9 months away.
Remember when I said, “He wants to be impeached, it’s the only way to get this on the record and over with”? I wouldn’t do it this way, but I’m not in charge. However: Not. Rocket. Surgery. Easy to see from his actions and approach, even going way back, because he controlled less than 10% of the executive and not much more now.
That’s not very interesting though. Fed is still bailing out to $750B via overnights, but has managed to hide a bunch in creative bookkeeping. That’s not over, the system of compounding interest since 1913 or 1971 is still collapsing, and with COVID has yet to hit even markets THIS disconnected from reality – at a time they’ve sidestepped the fall and put on adequate shorts – the Fed will have to step in and “help” as their mandate, maybe going “Printing Unlimited” right into the election. –You know like Weimar did, and all quality banana republics. But “There is no means to avoid the final collapse of a credit boom” so this crying was set up decades ago, and the setter-uppers already escaped to the grave with the loot, leaving their children and grandchilden to die of a dereliction not their own.
“Demonstrate to men how little they know about what they can design” and accomplish.
What I say every day. But you wouldn’t want my photo on that poster. Right, Selma?
Orlov’s been slipping lately. Like Cait Johnstone at some point we all get exhausted and salty with it. No reason to not try to be objective though.
Wonder why the Docktor is always down on Science:
“No One Can Explain Why Planes Stay in the Air”
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explain-why-planes-stay-in-the-air/Scientific American. You don’t know this, which isn’t quantum physics and can see with your eyes, an essential part of our reality, and you want to be considered experts to tell us what to do everywhere else? Sorry, this being broadly known sets us back to a better level. Not that Science is wrong, but about what we know and don’t know, and that asking questions is cool. Continents are not yet discovered, you can still invent the next hoverboard (coming shortly) instead of a flat, dry, empty world where everything is known by ‘experts’ and used against you as leverage. That’s a world children really would commit suicide in.
Life is still open. Be the next Einstein (who couldn’t figure it out), and tell us how birds fly.
Orlov, being more helpful than I.

Wonder what that split orb is. Something to indicate the painting is also a painting? Ceci n’est-ce pas une pipe?
They may have shifted to a new reality: it’s too late: everyone is going to get Kung-flu. Therefore, there’s no point in wrecking the Chinese economy as well. They’ll need it to recover (with all the babies that are about to get born). That’s some terrible math to say that, but I understand it. Also may go with Trump’s comment. What an idiot! How ridiculous! What does he know, the conspiracy theorist? What does he know? He has almost the highest security clearance in government, and nearly the world. So y’know, everything he knows, which is given to him by the world’s foremost bio-experts, CIA intel experts, and modeling quantum supercomputers, is of course just a bunch of made-up garbage, and the 3rd Yale intern from the NY Times, with NO information whatsoever – and us, of course – know waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than he does when he says it’ll be burned out by April, so we, with no information, can clearly say he, with all the information, is a madman and an idiot. Logic!
But let me suppose what he means: 1. Since we created Kung-flu, we’ve known for a decade what it models as it unstoppably goes through the population and it will have met everyone on earth in 6 months. Pretty likely. – Corollary, this almost certainly suggests it’s racial and attacks only (or primarily) the Han (at least in fatal form, still searching confirmation on this). 2. Somehow they are even more clever, and have a death-switch in the virus where it shuts itself off after a certain time. How, I can’t imagine, but doesn’t seem impossible. 3. Other technology such as adequately fabricating and spraying pre-known vaccine or gene therapy. –Which does exist, but very unlikely.
But let’s be clear: Trump, with highest security clearance, the gene code, almost all the world’s experts by the hundreds, and a bag of hidden military tech = a moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, while you, me, Yahoo News, CNN, NY Times and the Guardian, who’ve gotten everything wrong for years, who got this story wrong already for a month and have NO access to hardly ANY real information = super smart and correct.
Right! Of course! #OppositeLand #AntiLogos. We must always presume the direct opposite of logic.Oh, and literal expert and pathology expert from Duke University, Chris Martensen, is banned, de-personed, and ceased to exist on Wikipedia, probably at request of Chinese government, while fact-and-synapse-free interns continue providing random, made-up information on BuzzFeed and Vice…or in this case, transparently made-up information. Perfect. Gotcha. Because Science™! Trust the experts! (Except like here and the OPCW when they disagree with our narrative and drive for war and profit, then they’re obviously fake, and novachok sits on a doorknob and kills no one, including the target and the Bobbies investigating, because physics and reality are optional, and the only REAL reality is what O’Brien says when he holds up his fingers.)
Logical Fallacies: Appeal to Authority.
Not much to offer today, just pointing that out.
Although several issues, it causes a cytokine storm of immune response that overwhelms the lungs and fills them with fluid. (that having a strong immune system was the danger, not help, is similar to Spanish Flu). People can get it and recover if that impact is contained to normal flu/pneumonia levels, but I’m not a (medical)doctor, just literate and read words good too. This is the HIV code and why it’s a joke that it’s not a bioweapon; and I don’t know why China would try to deny it. Why not say the U.S./CIA did it? That’s what everyone else does, because it usually is. Why would a denial matter? …Only if they were – or THOUGHT they were – responsible. The three(?) gene inserts weren’t rocket science and well-covered. So you’re saying bats got a pangolin virus and then ate HIV? Sure, sure they did. In a U.S./Canadian biolab, compromised by a guy at Harvard they just arrested, and a doctor that was just accidentally killed in Africa. Totally coincidental, as always.
“Both the Steele dossier and the black ledger are fabricated files.”
That is somewhat new. However, nobody cares. It just rolls how it rolls. Can we return to world of facts and logic again? I miss it.
Approval rating = trouble.
You ain’t seen hard times or trouble. ‘Til the black vote moves out. ‘Til core-left Chris Matthews sounds like Alex Jones and talking on national T.V. about how Socialists are historical mass-murders. ‘Til they openly Boo “Cheatin’ Wall Street Pete” in NH. ‘Til radical feminists have deserted to the GOP over transgender issues. ‘Til Biden makes fun of rural America in national ads, then calls DNC voters some combination of “lying dog-faced pony soldier” “go vote for somebody else.” Don’t want to get out of hand here, but I think I don’t need to add much at this point except watch sadly. Soon enough I’ll probably have to pivot and contain the right from overreach as the world turns and the pendulum swings. Ain’t like the government right cares about law or limited government either.
They’re still at it — they claim to have shut down half a billion people for the deaths of just 800.
Please tell me if this makes the slightest sense to anyone.
(Was going to edit this out of yesterday, but ‘edit’ is missing.)
Btw, the idea of re-defining it as some sort of pneumonia is great. That’s what lawyers and bureaucrats (and weasels, but I repeat myself) do: if you have a problem, re-name and re-define it. Everyone dies all the harder, but you’ve directed the blame! #Winning. …Oh you mean we were supposed to CARE if anyone died or the underlying issue? Does not compute. What was the question again? Hold on, I’m busy renaming BlackWater to Academie, and Mansanto to Bayer to dodge our previous felonies and war crimes.
“as shares slumped and investors switched into safe-havens”
Slumped where? The Dow can’t stop rising. More epidemics the better! If only we had started one earlier and all got rich! …Really, there is a “safe haven” and “core currency” effect that I said would happen before the end.
“ Yesterday’s Gone: Iowa Was Waterloo for Democrats (Taibbi)”
Ouch, that’s rough. And from another life-long Democrat, as per Kunstler. But what can you say?
“ The Billion-Dollar Disinformation Campaign to Reelect the President (Atl.)”
He’s really describing the two data sets and two realities. The only way to pick one, to support one, is to compare what what happens after. Which was more accurate. Which predicted better. Which had results. Unfortunately for supporting his case, the Atlantic has been dead wrong for 4 years. Time for a re-think, then? Never: double-down. I told you all these things would happen beforehand, and they did, and I’m still the clueless idiot. Bannon is politely going on national TV, telling the Democrats exactly how to win: they say he’s a evil, stupid, wrong, then lose again.
What did he say his first day? They are going to do more than anyone to help blacks and steal that vote from the DNC for a generation? And black support has doubled, doing exactly that? But because they can’t get past their own echochamber of RacistRacistRacist, they never saw it coming, don’t see it now, and don’t know what to do. AND HE’S TELLING YOU ON NATIONAL TV, WITH HIS MOUTH. How indoctrinated do you need to be that direct communication that “I am going to run the Quarterback sneak play” then running it, is met with, “No you’re not, you’re a liar. I know you’re running.” Then repeat 1,000 game-days in a row. “We are doing this.” “No you’re not.” “We are doing that.” “No you’re not.” “Your problem is this to win voters.” “No it isn’t.” “The people are not behind you, not going to turn out.” “Yes they are.” Sigh. Okay, I mean the side that has the #Logos, the accurate view, will strategically prevail, but I don’t like it. #ComeBack.
That’s what I think of The Atlantic. Which side has had accurate predictions and descriptions? Which model was useful, supported, and therefore, more ‘right’?
“another stock market boom. If history is any guide, it may well end in a bust.”
I’d feel better about this if they had provided the same warning under Clinton and Obama. (As thousands of us bloggers did, furiously, saying stop printing money, audit the fed, and housing bust) But at this point, they don’t have any credibility. Will it crash? Sure, who doesn’t know that? Certainly the base-right still talks about financial bubbles, mismanagement and misallocation every day. They just think it’s an end-game play BECAUSE it’s all going down, before we swap into a new model and new currency. I mean, if Post-Keynesian Palley wants to become an Austrian now, he should already know “”There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.” So? Then clearly there is no longer any point in stopping the boom, just directing the boom back into local manufacturing and such to help with the inevitable collapse YOU, Keynes, created. Like we don’t know this? I wouldn’t say all the Right does, but at least half, practically the only half that ever cared, tried to stop it, told everyone, and was told they were crazy, “shut up with your stupid “budget deficits”, “income disparity” and “sound money” I’m trying to mainline financial heroin here”? Okay, man, we’re the dummies. We’re the guys who didn’t see it coming as far back as the 90’s when you were playing Super Mario in Berkeley. Yeah, no kidding there’s going to be a bust. Mises told you in 1949, Rand in 1951. They said everything that was going to happen the whole time, unlike “Permanent plateau”, Subprime is contained”, “No recession”, “Bear Sterns is fine”, “BuyBuyBuy.”
But they’re the ones who don’t understand it. Gotcha.
More helpfully, since they know, have known, plan, have planned, then where do you think they’re going from here? “On the Road to the Golden Age” Giving banks no interest, thus no purpose. Arranging the Fed to be discredited then rolled into Treasury. Putting a sound-money, gold-thinker into the Fed. Turning gold from Tier 2 to Tier 1 assets. Thoughts, anyone? Nope, although they wrote about it in 1979, was published on The Economist in 1987, we predicted it for decades, when it all happens it will be another strange accident indicating nothing that nobody saw coming and nobody planned, nobody pushed and nobody capitalized on.
For something a little more useful, the hand-maintenance of drainage and canals.
What strikes me in these is the amount of time it takes to build the pattern-language. First the goal, then the tools, then the infrastructure, then the skills. A second later, we erase it all with tractors and become idiots, slaves to the machine. Something Ruskin and Morris said, although they’re just popular — it was said going back to the 18th century that machines would destroy lives, skills, and more importantly, quality, which is what the Luddites were really fighting against. Not machines or progress exactly.
This is similar to the successful Amish, who people misunderstand are against technology: they’re not. They use rubber, kero, motors, and now solar on their buggy lights. What they’re against is the ruination of their community, and part of that — perhaps the main part — is to hand both the skills out of your community, out of your control, but also the wealth, the money to centralized, concentrated centers, be it Andrew Carnegie or to Wal-Mart or Wall Street. If you do that, you are a slave, and they will extract your community to penury, destroying your culture. But everyone else, apparently they like that sort of thing and can’t import WalMart and Amazon and cede their power into slavery for luxury goods fast enough. Then wonder why everyone’s on opioids and what went wrong. We went to the WalMart planning committee, we told you what went wrong. You didn’t care then and don’t believe it now that exactly what we predicted has happened. Then tomorrow do it all over again twice as hard for a handful of glass beads.
So how long does it take to re-instate the pattern language to dig canals or cut hay by hand? Probably less time than you think under the right conditions, but that middle period to return to it is not to be desired.
They’re still at it — they claim to have shut down half a billion people for the deaths of just 800.
Please tell me if this makes the slightest sense to anyone.
American men working? There oughta be a law.
Ouch, I wish the description of the DNC lineup wasn’t true. 1. Get a good candidate that helps the working people. 2. Elect them in, even if it takes a cycle or two. Why is this so far away? Why does it seem to be getting further? Much as Bloomberg isn’t your man, he’s capable of running ads that will win the party in proper form.
Much as I oppose almost all bans, and much as the problem is not enforcing them within 100 miles of fairly, ZH was banned for 1. Publishing, or perhaps put better, highlighting, advertising, a person’s home address. Bad form, sir. It encourages trouble. Just like you did, if anyone wants it, people can do a lick of work and find it. But worse, 2. Then openly encouraging readers, people, to call that person, which while not harassment is unhelpful and wastes the time of a valuable guy while accomplishing nothing. This is where they went over the line.
That said, CNN and others do this constantly, getting fork-lift drivers and others fired, even while telling lies about them, with no repercussions, ever. Still waiting for them to get banned from Twitter, as with Maddow making up stories that will get us nuked, and just yesterday blaming 4Chan for Iowa. (How?) Calling Kung-flu bioweapon a “conspiracy theory” at the same time several experts on bioweapons definitively said it is. So reporters can’t report world experts now, but CAN report that Russia has hacked Vermont and is shutting off the heat in Minnesota? “Rules for thee but not for me.” #AntiLogos.
…That’s with the further problem of a “lifetime” ban…and with no due process offered, allowed, or appealed, ever. So basically if you say something that’s slightly off, a thing that others (my pals) do regularly, Twitter does a drive-by shooting and execution without warning. Raise your hand if that’s the kind of country you want to live in! Next, muh private company, Chevron, Amazon, Verizon, and CitiBank will do the same, erasing your account while you’re pumping gas, so you can’t get to work, and you can’t call to protest. As planned and admitted by them, as a plan for Neofeudalism and 1984, for some 70 years. Don’t get started.
But no, ZH, this was not the hill to die on. You knew they were out there waiting for the smallest offsides.
“Twitter Accounts Of Facebook, Messenger Hacked (R.)”
I generally don’t believe a word. The minute they get your medical records and want to release them to the next guy to track and extort you, there’s a “hack”, then Oops! some bad guy has them, forever. The second some money’s missing, especially in cryptos, there’s a “hack”. Whenever something embarrassing happens, like the wrong guy wins and we want a do-over, there’s a “hack”. …Sure pal, there’s a hack when you had the system admin change the password to “Password”, then called your pal China, Soros, Alphabet, -insert hacker here- on the phone and told him to try. Then it’s all just a big accident! Like always and ever. 5,000 accidents in a row that all just go one way, and nobody’s ever mad and nothing ever happens to close the gap. Sure pal, sure. And when we sue, there’s no damages, because the government isn’t involved and isn’t running cover for you, the way they fine only 10% of the criminal fraud in Fargo, and split the stolen loot, with government as the junior partner, the controlled, not the master. Sure.
“Sondland Axed Hours after Vindman Twins Escorted out of White House (ZH)”
Wow, you mean the boss CAN fired his employees? What about #Oppositeland? You know what polls of the population say: fire them all, then fire half of the replacements you hired, then fire yourself and leave us alone. That’s what “collapse” means, decentralization, and I’m all for it.
“our present definitions of “socialism’ and ‘capitalism’ bear no resemblance to the originals.”
That may be part of the problem. Often is. Sure, all human systems have favoritism, but “money talks” as they say. So even if you’re not a pal, a family member, I can’t kick you out if you’re effective. Then you make money, move up into the caste system. Without that, nada. Lockout. Stagnation, like the middle ages or elsewhere. Classic definition of “the worst system except all others.” I’d be for tribalism, but since that requires <500 people units, I think that ship has sailed. Failing that, here we are. Can I make stuff and trade it with others, or is somebody going to point a gun at me and stop me? They point the guns, I don’t like thieves, and that’s all it comes down to. If they’d leave me alone, I could pivot and chase bribery and fraud and civil damages among my countrymen more fully, and clean that up too.
“the use of all “… ism” is a weapon.”
Also a great point.
Yes, at some point, who knows where, this is going to drop the Chinese economy. More, it may drop the globalist supply chain as a concept, permanently. As usual, for nothing we’ve ever said (oil use, national security, jobs) but for some dumb unrelated reason.
“400 million people locked down in #China”
For a mere 600 dead. Less than slipping on bananas, less than the actual flu? Does that seem right? Countries are now so humanitarian they will destroy their entire economies and world standing to save just one (600) guys?
Nah, they’d kill 600 guys just to build a 3rd-rate road for a petty official. So…then…?
Depending, the quarantine would work. On a cruise ship, you’re in the cabin, they bring food with secure measures. I mean, better than not, right? Docked, they may look exciting removing people in ambulances, but they’re probably fine and just common quarantine measures since if they brought a taxi they’ve have to hose down the interior later…better use the ambulance, made for that.
But, if rumors are right, it will indeed burn through all the Han, and leave everyone else. When it does, they can claim THEIR ‘containment’ worked. #Winning. Really, their lies will have worked.
“Coronavirus Infections Triple on Cruise Liner Quarantined in Japan”
I’ll be interested to see if anyone gets truly ill, or dies. It will be notable if not.
“Royal Caribbean Ship with 12 Quarantined Passengers Docks in NJ” “The passengers of the ship are all Chinese nationals”
Compare it with this one.
“Toyota Keeps China Plant Output Stopped Till Feb. 16 as Virus Hits Supply”
What a blessing. There are a hundred million too many cars already. 500 Million?
“France’s Total Rejects Force Majeure Notice from Chinese LNG Buyer”
Remember when the banks decided Greece not paying wasn’t a default? That it triggered nothing because THEY would be the ones paying out? Yeah, like that. What did Stalin say about who counts the votes? There is no law in the West, except not in the East either. Later they’ll do a force majeure in silver because Morgan is under RICO suit for 20 years of fraud and call it legal. “All for me, none for thee.” So why do you play in their world? Get out.
“Panic Buying [in] Hong Kong…”
What did I just say about ‘get out of their system’? Yes, their system is also buying things with bank money in a just-in-time system. How about this: you don’t have to live in the woods: just get a little further away than now. Can you take one step to do that?
“Citizen Journalists Who Exposed Beijing’s Lies in Wuhan Have Vanished”
Along with dozens, hundreds of journalists here, including two not yet missing: Assange and Manning.
Pot. Kettle.
400 million people are on lockdown in China, although only 600 are dead. Hmmm. Numbers…
Reports trickling in, the virus bioweapon is somehow racial, people surviving are non-Chinese, people outside China dying, as the Philippines, are ethnic Chinese. Now China itself isn’t one group either, nor since race isn’t much of a real scientific thing is it going to be uniform across groups, even say, the Han, but there it is, for the tracking.
This may be the last piece why the West is feeling relatively relaxed.
“Can We Have Prosperity Without Growth? (New Yorker)”
Yes, we can. However, prosperity will almost certainly lead to humans living, and therefore increasing. And THAT is growth. I prefer a world less resource-intensive, by definition less GDP, which would be more similar to a utopia almost by structure. However, none of that is going to happen with the present mentally-ill people chasing a win with the power game measured by money.
…And the only thing worse than it being measured by money is being measured by status and social connections, which is the Socialist system. Then there’s no connection to merit at all.
Glad they admit that innovation constantly lowers materials, energy (which is really price, a cost reduction), and therefore constantly allows more people. …To a limit, of course. And the limit is whether we live like Al Gore or like Buddhist Monks.
“what would happen to the Canadian economy under various [computer] scenarios”
OMG these people. They’ve run these “expert scenarios” since Christ was a Corporal, and they’ve been dead wrong for 100 years and that’s how they got here. Their stupid scenarios are how we got to this level of CO2 production and income disparity. Not that it can’t be fixed, but I don’t give the steering wheel to the same guy who crashed the last 199 buses. Maybe we can find a single guy or institution that did NOT wreck every tool they’ve ever been given into a fiery wreck of destruction and despair? You know, like the Permaculture people, JimmyBob the farmer or something?
Is it possible? Sure. Nowhere near in his wet fantasy, but it’s certainly possible somewhere, under some timeline. Should we try it? Of course. Maybe without killing all the poor as in France, or rounding up dissenters into re-education camps though. If your plan is working, making people safer, better, happier – and why do I even need to say this? – you won’t NEED to bludgeon them, insult them, berate them, order them, arrest them, to get it done. The success will speak for itself.
But none of that’s going to happen, and CERTAINLY not through any of them, so no need to plan or worry about it. I’ll just have to do it myself, without them, in the face of their violent opposition.
“Canada to Aid Alberta as Deadline for Massive Oil Sands Project Nears (R.)”
Just speaking of, the very same people. And St. Greta, haranguing all comers, takes a happy-happy eco photo-op with President Blackface, who has just signed up for 100 square miles of tar sands to be mined…to release all that CO2…to turn clean natural gas into heavy diesel like turning gold into lead…and also pollute the adjacent Indian reservation. A hat trick! A trifecta! Darn you, Trump, why did you…? Oh wait, that was Canada, under hot dreamy, role-model Trudeau? Nevermind, it’s all good! Nothing to see here he and she and Greenpeace are all bestest friends eveh. If only Trump could find 100 miles of the U.S. to ruin and be as eco-friendly as Justin.
From Mish. Again, if true:
“MediaReader 17 hrs
Apparently there are 7 crematoriums in Wuhan operating 24/7. Given 11MM people one could expect 350-400 deaths without nCoV. At least one has 30 furnaces and typical creation times run 1 – 3 hours. Assuming 5hrs total for start to finish 24/5×30 furnaces x 7 sites about 1k per day. For 1 week that’s 7k – normal of 2k so about 5k per week potential for nCoV cremations. 10 weeks extends that to 50k deaths. Now consider double or triple cremations at a time and backlogs?”
“This means there is an underlying database”
Good catch. Often I’m so stupid. And the death rates were suspiciously level, not lumpy. Unfortunately, no more definitive than the leak itself. Again, it’s their level of response that supports the higher numbers. What’s with the West being so placid, then? Is it a racial virus like SARS sort-of was? Still fishing for a model that fits all parts.
“This will not change as long as Hillary, Biden, Schiff et al lead the party.”
Unfortunately, a single coherent response has not materialized. Instead it’s fractured, which will take longer.
“they were the custodians of this institution”
This is separating the office from the men. Just as we have a nation of laws, not men. It’s difficult, but important and things go off the rails otherwise. On the speech: gag me, treacly political garbage dumpster fire of BS American boosterism. …But that’s what these rah-rah “vote-for-Burr” addresses are historically, and are supposed to be. Since there’s no accurate information – ever – I skip them. I don’t understand the decorum. Sure, whatever, but they’ve been acting like spoiled children since before I was born. Yes, it’s slightly worse now, but they’re not fighting duels and beating each other with a hickory cane, either. So? What about the facts, the address, your intelligent, adult response line-by-line if he’s lying? I thought you didn’t like his rude, boorish, tantrums, so you tantrum? Whatever. Just the facts, ma’am. But resign, arrest, censure? Puh-lease. Already I’m going to have to attack the Right side as they only begin to be the one-party system. No rest for the Devil’s own Advocate, that’s for sure.
“Buttigieg and Sanders Separated by Razor-Thin Margin in Iowa (Pol.)”
As we find out, not really. Sanders won the popular by a good margin, yet somehow – shucks Gomer – Pete won all the delegates! By these weird coin-tosses and by rounding up by 6% and so on. Who knew? Except Pete himself of course, an old Navy Intel nobody coming from nowhere, working for Brennan. Okay, great: and you think Bernie Bros will come out in the general if you do this? That the party will even exist in two years as Kunstler (a lifelong Democrat) suggests? And by the way, I thought you hated the electoral college and needed the vote to go to the popular. But now that Sanders is definitively the winner of the popular, you’re for the electoral (ish) system? Funny ol’ world. Add it to the list.
By the way, doesn’t this crush the story that Biden is a “main rival”, since he’s coming in 5th? I mean beyond that he wasn’t a candidate when he, or even Ukraine, was investigating, and beyond it was Hunter, not him the (non)candidate that they were after. Facts. Details. Nevermind.
“Don’t ya love totalitarian communism?”
I live under it so, “Yes sir, Comrade sir! I certainly love it sir!”
Agree: the U.S. is NOT that interesting. Media selection bias. The economy/environment is more meaningful than clown shows. …It’s just that I live with these clowns, so….
For Kung-flu, without solid facts because everybody is lying with every breath like air, and because the data points don’t match, you can see me developing a model by trying new ideas. Luckily I don’t have to act on this information yet because I don’t know. Since action-item, I did solidly get 2 weeks of food to get boarded up in my house by the army, but the problem is more likely to be car parts…so the grid isn’t repaired…and the water purification plants are overused and overdue for parts…which don’t get fixed…and so on. No surprise, it’s a miracle any of it works even now, and it already didn’t in Flint. This is how you de-centralize. And how the centralization is fatally discredited, when it’s been ruining, impoverishing people, hasn’t worked correctly for 100 years, probably since it was built. Maybe this will make them notice for a change when the taps shut off.
..Long since collapsed for poor folks. That’s why they’re cranky.
“Did China’s Tencent Accidentally Leak the True Terrifying Coronavirus Statistics?”
From Appreciation article: “Our economic system values growth — nothing more. The luxuries are a side effect. And they come bound up with a plague of other side effects”
Which is of course a very Socialist worldview. However, what is ‘luxury’? I can live with one begging bowl, is two a luxury? I have one robe, is a winter robe a ‘luxury’? No? How about a car so I can get to work? Yes in 1910, no now? What KIND of car, if, as he says, a Cadillac, then what about a 1984 Seville with 201k? It’s just sloppy thinking not to define these things.
EVERYONE agrees we don’t need ‘luxury’…because that is Webster’s definition of ‘luxury’: a thing extra, you don’t need. You don’t NEED hospitals, health care, we lived without them for 6,000 years. You don’t NEED doors, heat, A/C…however you will also certainly die without them. That’s okay, but it’s not a thing people CHOOSE for. So the system DOESN’T value growth. PEOPLE in the system want THINGS they didn’t have before, like forks, pots, doctors, cars, they didn’t have before. “Luxuries” to you, desirables that extend their life and ease to them. The people who comprise the system and make the decisions couldn’t give a rip about “growth”, whatever that is, they just want to not be too hot, hungry, and without screen doors buzzed by flies.
So the “side effects” he’s talking about are the PRIMARY effects: the use and transformation of materials that extends people’s live, ease, and prevents them from dying. The system – built by humans – naturally maximizes this “not dying” part. It may cause growth, in cities, transformations, populations, the “side effects” ARE the “effects”, the SAME side of the SAME coin, are you really going to advocate for MORE deaths and discomforts as so many do?
Sure, why not? I can do with less. I don’t mind. Chasing the horizon is also a discomfort, a treadmill of endless desire and dissatisfaction, but I think you’re going to need to use other words and other frameworks to describe it, to encourage it, and to sell it to other people, because this just says, “You suck, give up your life and security, and unlike me, go live in a cave. Anything else is world destruction, is evil, is cheating.” I don’t think that line will get many converts, and I know because they’ve been trying it since 1975 and losing harder every year. Meanwhile the guy who invented the LED bulb has already saved more energy than all the hot air used on the subject since then.
Want this world? Describe a Star Trek world where super-advanced ewok-humans live in the trees but make their own tricorders and medial 3-D printing materializers and quantum sub-space communicators. Just telling us to drop dead or go back to the caves won’t work.
The car-less Archdruid has been doing a whole year on this subject, https://www.ecosophia.net/ (sidebar) because like everyone, he’s been sick of the smug satisfaction of constantly failing, then repeating the failing so they can win at failing all over again, then complain about always failing, you know, the environment and the elections again. Man Bad. Orange man Very bad.
