Earlier today New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo complains to the media about only getting $35 million in initial emergency funding for Coronavirus impacts. WATCH:
.
Last night CTH did our first review of the $8.3 billion COVID-19 appropriation as it passed through congress. It is loaded with pork spending and foreign aid. The bill was $7.8 billion at the beginning of the day and ended with $8.3 billion on final passage.
The emergency Coronavirus appropriation passed 96-1 in the Senate. The Senator voting against the bill was Rand Paul of Kentucky.
The foreign aid section is roughly $3 billion of the spending. Senator Rand Paul proposed an amendment to rescind unobligated balances of current foreign aid appropriations because so much new money is being spent on this bill. His amendment was defeated.
Here’s the breakdown:
• $61,000,000 HHS FDA Salaries
• $20,000,000 Small Business Admin Salaries and Emergency Loans.
♦ $2.2 Billion Center for Disease Control (CDC) Appropriation
• $950,000,000 CDC State Grants
• $300,000,000 Global Disease Prevention
• $300,000,000 Reserve fund holding
♦ $836,000,000 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Appropriation
**NOTE** The administration’s request for funding ($2.5 billion) was essentially the CDC funding and the NIH funding combined. The administration did not request anything beyond those funds above. However, congress added funding for private health groups, private hospitals, private insurance groups, private labs, etc. The $3.1 billion in the next section is appropriated to HHS to distribute to those private entities.
♦ $3.1 Billion Public Health and Social Services, Emergency Fund Appropriation (testing, diagnostics, therapeutics, etc)
• $264,000,000 State Dept. Diplomatic fund (outside U.S.)
• $435,000,000 Global Health and Economic Assistance (outside U.S.)
*$200,000,000 Global Health, Emergency Fund (outside U.S.)
• $300,000,000 International Disaster Assistance (outside U.S.)
• $250,000,000 Economic Support Fund (outside U.S.)
*$7,000,000 “Operating Expenses” (outside U.S.)
• $100,000,000 Worldwide Security Protection (Americans outside U.S.)
Summary (Rough Math):
♦♦ Approx. $5 billion appropriated on U.S. programs (federal and state). Around $2.5 billion of that amount the administration requested for federal response (CDC and NIH) and state grants (CDC). However, around $3 billion more was added by congress to fund private health sector response groups.
♦♦ Approx. $3 billion was appropriated in foreign aid (non Americans). None of this was requested by the administration. All of the foreign aid funds were appropriated solely by congress for various State Department “global initiatives.” (sketchy funds)
♦♦ Approx. $500 Million General Administrative expenses. (All pork)
Earlier today President Trump traveled to Tennessee to tour some of the devastated areas severely impacted by recent tornadoes. The president met with local and state officials along with FEMA response teams while surveying the devastation prior to meeting with the residents of Cookeville, Tennessee, and Nashville suburbs.

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. This is Governor Bill Lee, and he’s done a fantastic job of working with FEMA and the federal government and state government and everybody, Bill. And this is real devastation like you’ll never seen, hopefully, again. This was about as big a tornado as you can have. It was 50 miles long, which is extraordinarily long, and a very wide one. And you see what’s happened. We saw it from the helicopter very well. You did too.
I just want to thank you very much for the great job you’re doing.
GOVERNOR LEE: We’re very grateful that you’re here, and Tennesseans are grateful for your support. We had immediate response from FEMA. You gave an emergency disaster declaration, which will be very helpful to the families in this community and all across Tennessee who have suffered great loss.
It’s been a — it’s been a painful, tragic week for our state, but Tennesseans are hopeful. God has used volunteers to bring hope to people all across our state. And your presence here reminds us that people all across the country care about what’s happening here. So we’re grateful.
THE PRESIDENT: They do. They do. Thank you.
GOVERNOR LEE: Yeah. We’re grateful. Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Would you like to say something?
MAYOR SHELTON: Well, we just so much appreciate you being here and showing compassion. You called the other night and expressed your sorrow, and now you’ve shown up. A first time sitting President has ever been in our city and county, and we so appreciate that. It does show hope and compassion to our community and to our residents. And we appreciate that very much. Very much.
THE PRESIDENT: Please.
MAYOR PORTER: We live in a great community. It’s been a devastation, loss of life like our county has never seen in its history. But the outpouring of love and support from our community, our first responders — we’ve got a great group of folks — it’s been — it’s been an outstanding response for those folks and from the community, all the love and support.
You coming here today just puts a big asterisk on the end of that and shows that the cooperation we’ve had from the federal government and the state government, the Governor and you, has been absolutely amazing. We have never seen that before.
I’ve been in emergency services for 35 years before I became county mayor. We have never seen the cooperation and response that we have seen from your administration and from this state’s administration. So, thank you.
MAYOR SHELTON: Yes. And your instant declaration for our communities last night. Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: They’re great people. It’s a great state. And what is the final count of death in the state itself? The entire state.
GOVERNOR LEE: We had 25 Tennesseans lost their lives in this. Many injured. Thousands without homes and power and supplies.
But Tennesseans have showed up. We’re the Volunteer State. We’ve shown up by the thousands to surround our neighbors and to provide hope and to provide assistance. And it’s been inspiring. And we’re going to — we’re going to overcome. This state knows how to do that. That’s who we are. That’s what we do.
And government can do so much, but only the people can really provide the hope. And they’re — and they’re doing just that in Tennessee.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much. We’re going to see some of the people that really survived, some not in good shape and some in very good shape — incredibly in good shape.
But anybody in these homes — this is a swath that it went right through, on this side — on this side of the street. And obviously, anybody in these homes, for the most part, they were killed. Given very little warning. They get a phone call, “Hey, there’s a tornado,” and boom, it’s on them. They just — they just appeared. And it’s — we’re working very hard.
FEMA is doing a great job.
GOVERNOR LEE: They’re doing a great job.
THE PRESIDENT: They were told to do the absolute best.
Thank you very much. Do you have any questions?
Q Mr. President, do you have a message for the survivors?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I do have a message, and I have a message for the families of those that lost their lives: We love them; they’re special people. It’s an incredible place, an incredible state. Tremendous heart. Already, you see people rebuilding. I mean, it took place literally hours ago — a couple of days — and they’re already rebuilding. I’ve never seen — we were flying over; you see the blue roofs going up. It’s all over the place.
It’s just great people. It’s a great state. And they have great leadership in this state, and that’s why it’s working out like it is. But still, 25 people, at least, and some really very badly hurt. Very, very badly hurt.
The mayor was telling me some of the houses came down and they got here right after that happened, and the people are walking out of the houses and — you might explain that, what that looked like.
MAYOR SHELTON: It was just — you know, it’s a war zone and it’s in the middle of the night, and it’s very — very difficult to maneuver that.
But the first responders — we can’t say enough about the first responders that were here. They went in — you know, they run in when everybody else is running out. And they ran in and took care of these folks — the police and fire and EMS. And it was an amazing night.
MAYOR PORTER: We had people that were — they were so disoriented, they were wandering out down the roads and through the fields and the woods, trying to get to safety and figure out where they could go. And our great group of responders took care of them immediately. And it was — we’re so sad (inaudible).
THE PRESIDENT: They didn’t know what happened.
MAYOR PORTER: No.
THE PRESIDENT: They just — all of a sudden, they’re watching television or something and, all of a sudden, they’re outside, walking on the street.
There was one young boy, I heard he was taken out of the house and —
MAYOR PORTER: He was. One minute he’s in his house, the next minute he’s laying in his yard. It happened that fast.
THE PRESIDENT: A couple of blocks away.
MAYOR PORTER: Yes.
MAYOR SHELTON: Another family was — the husband huddled over the wife and child, and the roof came off and he was sucked out. They were all sucked out into the yard. They survived.
But I think it’s important to note too that, here in Cookeville, in Putnam County, while there was 25 deaths in the state, 18 of them were right here in our city and county — 8 of them on this particular street. And so, you know, we can continue to ask for prayers for our community, but these families are going to be burying people in the next — over the next week.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
Q President Trump, have you been able to speak to any of the survivors or any of the victims’ families while you’ve been out today?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. We’re doing it and we’re doing it now. We’re going to also, I think, stop at the church where there are a lot of people huddled up in the church. It’s a cold day and they’re all huddled up. We’re going to the church also. We’re seeing some of the people over here.
Q Mr. President, on another, sort of, tragic topic regarding the coronavirus: Are you considering refer- — or deferring taxes for the airlines, cruise ships, and travel companies that are being hard hit by this?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re looking at different options. Different options.
We did get tremendous job numbers this morning. They were — you know, if you add the 80,000 to the 270 — you know, they were talking in the 350,000 range. But right now, that’s not something we want to be talking about. Okay? Thank you.
Q Mr. President, you approved federal funding in Tennessee.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.
Q Can you tell us when you would expect to see that money coming to the state?
THE PRESIDENT: Very quickly. Almost momentarily. I did it. The mayor called me. The Governor called me. We had calls from a lot of people. That was an immediate emergency. But we’ve spoken — we approved it within minutes of the call.
Q Do you know about how much?
THE PRESIDENT: To be determined. What they need — we’re going to take care of what they need.
GOVERNOR LEE: We’ll be doing assessments, and that helps determine what the numbers will be. The way it works is, as we determine the amount, that’s how the numbers will be assessed and that’s how — what the assistance will be.
THE PRESIDENT: Much of that money goes to help the people that got just wiped out.
GOVERNOR LEE: That’s right.
THE PRESIDENT: They’re wiped out. They have nothing. And — and many people died.
Q We’ve been talking to some people out here throughout the past couple of days. Do you have any words for them that you may not be able to meet today but have been devastated by this?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I love them. I love them very much. That’s why I’m here. Some people wouldn’t be here. There was no way that I wasn’t going to stop here first. And I was going to do it yesterday, but they asked me for one more day because they — they were looking for — they were looking for bodies, believe it or not, up until just now. They now — they’ve pretty much covered everything. But — and just God be with them. And we’re going to be with them. We’re going to be with them all the way.
And I can tell you, the Governor feels the same as I do. And the mayors — I just want to congratulate you, because the job you’ve done, everybody is talking about it. They haven’t slept in 48 hours. Neither have you, come to think of it. So we’re going to go see the people now and say hello to them and do whatever you can do. It’s tough.
A lot of them have lost people within the family. One family got entirely wiped out. There was one case, though — I heard a young man was — an 8-year-old boy was ripped out, flown to a certain area, and dropped off at the street two or three blocks away. And they found him walking. And he said, “I just flew in the air.” And he was walking down the street two blocks away from his home. And how did his parents do? Do you know?
MAYOR PORTER: We don’t — we’re not for sure exactly how they turned up.
MR. HERRICK: They were found deceased.
THE PRESIDENT: They were deceased? They were dead.
MR. HERRICK: (Inaudible) only surviving member of the household, and lost his sibling as well.
THE PRESIDENT: So it took him and he said, “I was carried by the air, away from my house.” He came back. But his —
MR. HERRICK: He was (inaudible) the house over there and dropped him in the neighborhood back behind us.
THE PRESIDENT: He was over there. And his parents were killed.
MAYOR PORTER: And sister.
THE PRESIDENT: And his sister. So we’re going to go see some of the folks.
Prior to departing the White House for a visit with Tennessee disaster workers and victims, President Trump signs an $8.3 billion appropriations bill funding the ongoing efforts to combat Coronavirus. [Video and Transcript Below]
.
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. Good morning. I’m going to Tennessee to meet with the governor and a lot of people. And it’s something. It’s really something. I guess some of you are coming along, I assume. Is that right?
Q No.
THE PRESIDENT: You going?
Q There’s a crew out at Andrews waiting on you.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
So we’re signing the $8.3 billion. I asked for 2.5 and I got 8.3, and I’ll take it.
(The bill is signed.)
Okay? So here we are, $8.3 billion. We’re doing very well. But it’s an unforeseen problem. What a problem. Came out of nowhere, but we’re taking care of it.
We have big news on the ship. And a lot of things are happening on the ship. People are being tested right now. And I just spoke to the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. We had a good conversation. We’re both working on the ship together. It’s close to 5,000 people. So, it’s a big ship. But we’re doing testing on those people. Okay?
Could I have those others papers I’m going to sign, please? These are additional papers relevant to various things.
Okay, this is it?
AIDE: Yes.
(The document is signed.)
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, give me the other one.
AIDE: These are the (inaudible) designations for the bill. There’s two of them.
(The document is signed.)
Do you have anything you want to say to the press?
SECRETARY AZAR: I just want to make it — make it clear that in terms of tests, we have provided all the tests to the State of Washington and the State of California that they’ve asked for. The production and shipping of tests that we’ve talked about all week is completely on schedule.
All of the CDC tests — the tests that are available to test up to 75,000 people — CDC has shipped to America’s public health labs. Those are out.
Then, IDT, the private contractor working with CDC to ship to the private sector and hospitals, has already shipped enough tests for 700,000 tests. And the remaining lots are arriving at CDC this morning for quality control and should get out, as we forecast, this weekend.
And then next week, we’ll keep ramping up production. So as many as 4 million tests next week are going to be driving forward.
So everything is on schedule for the tests.
Q Mr. President, why aren’t you going to CDC today?
SECRETARY AZAR: He’s actually sent me. I’m going to go down.
THE PRESIDENT: You — you can tell them.
SECRETARY AZAR: Yeah. He sent —
THE PRESIDENT: We may — we may go. There was a — they thought there was a problem at CDC with somebody that had the virus. It turned out negative, so we’re seeing if we can do it. But yesterday afternoon, we were informed that there may have been a person with — with the virus, and they now find out that that was a negative test. They’ve tested the person very fully, and it was a negative test.
So I may be going. We’re going to see if they can turn it around with Secret Service.
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, we may —
Q You may go?
THE PRESIDENT: We may we may be going. Here, Steve, this is for you after covering me so well. (Laughter.)
Q How big a — how big a hit to the economy —
THE PRESIDENT: It’s the first time I’ve ever done that to a reporter.
Q How big a hit to the economy are you expecting (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, job numbers just came out and they’re incredible. The job numbers were tremendous. And we picked up close to 80,000 new jobs from the last report. And if you add that up, it’s over 350,000 jobs. The job numbers just came out a little while ago, and they were shocking to the people that were analyzing them.
Q Do you expect more gyrations in the stock market?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I think — I think, you know, a lot of people are staying here and they’re going to be doing their business here. They’re going to be traveling here. And they’ll be going to resorts here. And, you know, we have a great place. That’s where — so, foreign people come, but we’re going to have Americans staying home instead of going and spending the money in other countries. And maybe that’s one of the reasons the job numbers are so good. We’ve had a lot of travel inside the USA.
Q Do you think that Congress or your administration needs to take more action to diminish the risk of recession?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, all we can do is do what we do. I mean, we’re getting a lot of business from people staying. In other words, they’re — it’s — I’ve always liked anyway; you’ve known that for a long time. But people are staying here and spending their money here, as opposed to going to Europe and other places.
Now, that’ll change when this goes away, and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.
But people were — I would say virtually everybody — you saw the job numbers, I guess — people were shocked, because you add another 80 or whatever it is, a lot of — a lot of numbers from last month, where they upgraded. So the job numbers were at a level that nobody thought possible. They were really incredible.
Q No stimulus needed?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. I mean, we’re going to see whether or not the Fed wants to stimulate. In my opinion, they should because Europe is, and China is, and everybody is but us. We have a Fed that is not exactly proactive. I’m being very nice when I say that.
Q But no fiscal stimulus?
THE PRESIDENT: I think what happens is the Fed should cut and the Fed should stimulate. And they should do that because other countries are doing it, and it puts us at a competitive disadvantage. And we have the most prime. We are considered by far the most prime. And it’s our dollar that everybody uses. The Fed should stimulate and the Fed — they should cut.
And why should Germany have an advantage over us with interest rates? So Germany — you know, Germany, just announced that they’re stimulating and they’re cutting.
Asia is. All over Asia they are. China is. China is tremendously.
And we’re really not. And we pay higher interest; we have a higher rate. And it’s ridiculous, frankly. We should have the lowest rate by far, and instead we pay more than other countries. Other countries are paying zero and less than zero. You know it very well. And we’re paying interest, which is a very conservative approach, but it’s not a good approach because we’re also competing against other countries, whether we like it or not. Even our friends, we’re competing against.
Q Mr. President, on Afghanistan, are you afraid that once the U.S. pulls out, that the Taliban will basically just overrun the Afghan government?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, eventually countries have to take care of themselves. We can’t be there for the next — another 20 years. We’ve been there for 20 years, and we’ve been protecting the country. But we can’t be there for the next — eventually, they’re going to have to protect themselves.
You know, this should have been done a long time ago. But you can only hold somebody’s hand for so long. We have to get back to running our country too. So you understand that.
Q So do you think the Afghan government will be capable, in the long term, of defending itself?
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll let you know later. You know, we’ll have to see what happens. I hope they are, but I don’t know. I can’t answer that question.
Q Mr. President, any concern that the coronavirus is —
THE PRESIDENT: It’s not supposed to happen that way, but it possibly will.
Q Any concern that the virus is more widespread than originally thought because of the lack of testing? Is that any reason why you’re not going to Atlanta today?
THE PRESIDENT: No, no, no. They had one person who was potentially infected.
And speaking of that, I’d like to go. So you guys are trying to work that out. I was going to Tennessee first, in any event, and then I was stopping in Atlanta, then going down to Florida for meetings. I think that they are trying to work it out that I do go.
No, I hadn’t heard that. I heard “one person.” And because of the one person at a high level — because of the one person, they didn’t want me going. But I would prefer going. And now that the person — the test came out negative, we’re going to try and go.
The most powerful man in all of the media. Come on over here, please. He has a little something to do with the Wall Street Journal. I don’t know if you know. This is real power. Right? (Laughter.) You used to do what they did.
MR. THOMSON: Yeah.
THE PRESIDENT: Right? And he did it — he did it so well that he’s the boss at News Corp. Of course, Rupert has something to say with that, I guess. Right? Lachlan.
It’s good to have you. It’s good to have you. They treat me very nicely — the media. Right? Except for the Wall Street Journal, but that’s okay.
Q How do you keep people from panicking from (inaudible)?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t think they’re panicking. I don’t think people are panicking. I said last night — we did an interview on Fox last night, a town hall. I think it was very good. And I said, “Calm. You have to be calm.” It’ll go away.
We do have a situation where we have this massive ship with 5,000 people and we have to make a decision. You know, that’s a big decision because we have very low numbers compared to major countries throughout the world. Our numbers are lower than just about anybody.
And in terms of deaths, I don’t know what the count is today. Is it 11? Eleven people? And in terms of cases, it’s very, very few. When you look at other countries, it’s a very tiny fraction because we’ve been very strong at the borders. But then you have a ship with a lot of Americans on it. It’s got 5,000 people on it. It’s a massive ship and — you know, and they want to come in. So we have to make a decision. We’re working with the governor of California on that.
Q Are you meeting with President Bolsonaro this weekend, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I am. We’re having dinner at Mar-a-Lago. He wanted to have dinner in Florida, if that was possible — the President of Brazil. So we’ll be doing that today.
Q Do you think the financial markets are overreacting?
THE PRESIDENT: I think financial markets will bounce back as soon as this — really bounce back. Don’t forget, they’re down probably 10 or 11 percent from, you know, where they were, but they were up 70 percent. So, you know, it’s only a — it’s a relatively small piece. I don’t like to see it happen because I was looking for 30,000 very soon. You were — you were — it seemed days away from 30,000. And now we have a little more room to make up.
But I think financially — I think the country is so strong. We’re so strong as a country now. We have never been like this. The consumer is generating so much because of the tax cuts, the regulation cuts, and, you know, the things we’ve done. So I think we’re in great shape. I mean, I think we’re in great shape.
This came unexpectedly a number of months ago. I heard about it in China. It came out of China, and I heard about it. And made a good move: We closed it down; we stopped it. Otherwise — the head of CDC said last night that you would have thousands of more problems if we didn’t shut it down very early. That was a very early shutdown, which is something we got right. Okay?
Q So looking at the Super Tuesday results, are you worried the Democratic Party is unifying around Joe Biden and that will take away your argument about Democrats being too left wing and too socialist?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, he’s left wing and he’s got all people that are left wing. And in many ways, he’s worse than Bernie. Look at what he did with guns; he put Beto in charge of guns. Beto wants to get rid of guns, right? So that’s a bad — that’s a bad stance.
And he’s got a lot of people that are left wing, and they’ll be running the government. He’s not going to be running anything. If he ever got in, they’ll be running the government. They’ve got people further left wing than what Bernie has. So, not — not going to be good. Wouldn’t be good for Wall Street, I can tell you that.
Plus, if you look at his taxes, he’s going to raise taxes incredibly. He’s going to raise taxes more than Bernie. I looked at — and he’s open about it. Bernie doesn’t like to — doesn’t like to talk about it.
I mean, Joe Biden, his tax increases are — they’re staggering. It’s ridiculous. He’ll destroy everything that’s been built.
Q Do you think sexism was a factor in Elizabeth Warren pulling out? And do you believe you will see a female President in your lifetime?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I think lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent. She was a good debater.
She destroyed Mike Bloomberg very quickly, like it was nothing. That was easy for her. But people don’t like her. She’s a very mean person, and people don’t like her. People don’t want that. They like a person like me, that’s not mean.
If you’ve ever wondered why it is impossible to have a conversation with modern liberals about politics, this video snippet is a case study in the answer.
MSNBC host Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay are having a serious discussion about money, politics and Michael Bloomberg’s spending in the primary election. You have to watch it to believe it.
Think about how many people were involved in creating, preparing and producing what you are about to witness. WATCH:
Apparently MSNBC, Brian Williams, New York Times Mara Gay, the producers of the show and countless others involved in the production are really, really bad at math.
Bill Gates, whose net worth is over $100 billion, once remarked that vaccines could reduce world population by 10 to 15 percent.
Bill is a member of the ‘Big Club.’ He’s an unelected world leader. He and his fellow controllers at the top of the pyramid pretty much own the planet. It’s theirs. They want it turned into their own personal paradise. They don’t want more ‘useless eaters’ and more polluting humans mucking things up. That’s why Gates pushes GMO foods and 5G. The latter is a lot more concerning than the current coronavirus.
The vaccine-obsessed Gates recently warned that the coronavirus may be the ‘once-in-a-century pathogen we’ve been worried about’ I doubt he’s worried about it at all. It’s probably all going according to plan. One of Gates’ allies will come up with a special vaccine that would cure it and who knows…maybe lawmakers will make such a shot mandatory. California has already accomplished that tyranny. We should have control over our own bodies and what goes into them, but the Big Club would turn us into their citizen cattle.
The scientific, corporate, and political ‘authorities’ love vaccines. Through their propaganda they’ve made it seem as if the human immune system is no longer trusted–even though millions of years have been invested in its development. Suddenly, we’re told it needs endless help via needle jib jabs. The vaccine ingredients include mercury, aluminum, aborted fetal and animal cells, and a litany of other junk mostly ignored by doctors and patients alike. Just shut up and take your damn shot! You’re not anti-science, are you? That’s the militantly angry reaction from authorities when vaccinations are questioned.
The tremendous upswing in dementia could be caused by an aluminum build-up in the brain. Autism is off the charts. Chemical bombs are going off in brains of children due to over vaccination. There is plenty of evidence pointing to the barbarity of vaccination, yet those who merely question vaccines are smeared as conspiracy theorists and nut jobs.
I don’t trust the CDC. Those who run it come and go through revolving doors, trading positions with Big Pharma. I don’t trust the World Health Organization and its ties to a UN globalist agenda. I don’t trust the Chicoms. I don’t trust anyvaccine coming out of China. I don’t trust the corporate mass media who brainwash people into taking constant flu shots. I particularly distrust Bill Gates, who comes from a pro-abortion, pro-eugenics family. By the time he does bring about a vaccine, the current virus will most likely have mutated—like most flu viruses. The vaccine will be useless. A patient may recover from the flu, but the junk in the vaccines will stay their bodies until death. They may even cause people to die sooner than later. That’s what the Big Club wants. Just take a look at their Georgia Guidestones. They enjoy telling us what they want to make happen.
It could be that the virus is a distraction—a crisis for us to focus on while they pull other shenanigans. The conspiracy theories are myriad, but I’m sure of one thing: The cure will be worse than the disease.
It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words ‘DON’T PANIC’ in large, friendly letters on the cover. Douglas Adams “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
Due to the fact that some people who catch the coronavirus (COVID-19) show either slight or no symptoms of being ill, it should come as no surprise to anyone that a coronavirus pandemic is in the works. It could not be otherwise IMO. Note that failure to take these carriers into account is one reason for the relatively high estimates of the COVID-19 death-rate.
Many people are starting to question why this coronavirus has been whipped up into a major panic when the annual flu kills far more people. Perhaps they have enlisted the conspiracy contingents who turn everything into the end of the world and are so eager to paint doom and gloom as a lethal weapon for mass financial destruction. They may not realize that they are being played for fools spitting out various conspiracies such as biological weapons laced with AIDS that will kill 50% of the population without a single shred of proof.
Curiously, the World Health Organisation (WHO), which is a specialized agency of the United Nationsestablished on April 7th, 1948, and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, has advised people to use contactless technology instead of cash as banknotes may be spreading the coronavirus. It is interesting since paper money has long been recognized as a hospitable environment for gross microbes including viruses and bacteria. Both can live on most surfaces for about 48 hours. However, the claim is that suddenly paper money reportedly transports a live flu virus for up to 17 days. The question emerges: If this has always been the case, then suddenly why now warn about using paper money? Is this part of a broader plot to eliminate cash in order for governments to take whatever taxes they need when the entire social structure is collapsing around them?
Sweden has been the leader in eliminating cash. They have suddenly realized that there is a major risk to digital money and have advised citizens to now ‘Stockpile coins and banknotes‘ in case there is a cyberattack on the banking system. Living in Florida, you instinctively have to hoard some cash due to hurricanes. The power went out where my bank was for about a week. Without power, it became a cash-only society very fast if not instantly. There are two risks to digital currency: cyberattacks and power failures.
Operation Bernhard was an exercise by Nazi Germany to forge British banknotes. The initial plan was to drop the notes over Britain to bring about a collapse of the British economy during the Second World War. Obviously, undermining the currency of a nation during a war has been a strategy throughout all of time. The question that would certainly arise is if all money is crypto or digital, then an attack on the banking system and/or power grid would undermine the economy of an opponent.
Moving to electronic currency may be a desperate attempt to save socialism, but it would also open the door to sophisticated cyber attacks to undermine that economy.
Last October, the European Union’s (EU) top court ruled in favor of Polish consumers who took out mortgages in Swiss Francs, allowing them to ask Polish courts to convert the loans into the local zloty currency in a blow for lenders. Back in October 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union, based in Luxembourg, gave a judgment in favor of Polish victims of unfair mortgage agreements crafted by the banks. The bankers created mortgage loans in Swiss francs to be reimbursed in Polish zloty claiming that the currency was very stable and it was, therefore, a good deal. When the Swiss franc peg broke on January 15, 2015, mortgages throughout Europe were sent into turmoil for the bankers had been selling their mortgages linked to the Swiss franc.
The banks involved in crafting mortgages linked to the Swiss franc were Santander, BCP, BNP Paribas, and Commerzbank, as well as Poland’s biggest lenders PKO BP and Getin Noble Bank. Crafting such complex structures for the consumer is not something that will hold up very well in Europe moving forward.
Thanks for all you do. Being a student of stock market history I am never shocked by what I see in the market. I have been wondering for years what the catalyst will be for the correction of the insanity of student loan debt to pay for college. If students went on Shark Tank before going to college to say what they are going to do with the money and what they intend to study’s and put pen to paper of how they will pay that back. Most would be rejected by the sharks and should not go. Why is this so hard to figure out? Seems rational to me however what I see people doing is very irrational Thoughts?
Last I checked the library is free and has all the knowledge of the world available to us and at our fingertips with google and our phones. I guess people don’t like FREE.
They always say when the student is ready the teacher will appear. You always appear in all my searches for the truth and wisdom. Keep up the frat work

ANSWER: Education has become a means of propaganda. People are told they will not get a job without a degree. I tell kids that it does not matter what you even get a degree in. Do it online and get a degree in basket weaving. It does not matter! You do not even need a degree to run for politics. You do not need a degree to be the president of the new head of the European Central Bank, as Christine Lagarde is a lawyer and not a trader or economist. So where is the justification that you need a degree to be qualified to do something the degree never covers?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has pulled the plug on her campaign, reducing the Democratic presidential contest to a two-man race. All my sources have been talking about removing the contenders so they could stop Bernie who they see and the anti-Christ of the Democratic Party. They stole the votes from him in California back in 2016 and they are doing everything now to stop him on the first ballot in the Convention. This time, the effort may be the way the Democratic Party eventually ends up fracturing. There is no younger generation in leadership. This may be the last stand for the Democrats. Biden does not appear to be capable of doing 8 years as president. As I have been saying — the danger is what comes AFTER Trump.
