Here We Go – San Francisco Bay Area Extends Lock-Down Order Throughout May…


It is being reported the San Francisco Bay area will remain in a state of forced lock-down with an extension of the stay-at-home orders throughout May.  Considering this is the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi,… this decision highlights an expectation that the federal government will bail out local and state governments.

We anticipated this type of approach where Blue states & Blue regions will keep their economies closed as long as possible to inflict maximum political damage.  Simply, if San Francisco were not confident they will gain a federal bailout they would not be keeping their economic system closed for another entire month.

CALIFORNIA – Public health officials in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties say they will extend the shelter-in-place orders through May.

Later this week, the Public Health Officers of the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara as well as the City of Berkeley will issue revised shelter-in-place orders that largely keep the current restrictions in place and extend them through May. The new order will include limited easing of specific restrictions for a small number of lower-risk activities. (read more)

It is likely that Democrat governors and Democrats in the House have organized a specific media allied approach to demand the federal bailout.  There is simply no way any state or local region would remain shut down unless they were confident of funding.

Any bailout would only help the local and state government. It would not help the private sector, or private sector workers. By using federal taxpayer funds to replace missing tax revenue, the Blue states/regions would be protecting their own big government ideology.

The three step plan seems predictable: (1) Get out ahead of President Trump. (2) Defy the ‘all clear’ and shape economic benefit to their political allies. (3) Then use Fauci’s upcoming dossier to hit the administration for heartlessly opening the economy too early.

During this economic war residents within the Blue occupied territories will be held captive to the political whims of their regional generals.

The economic freedom and liberty zone will encompass the Red region. The center of the country, mid west, southern region (surrounding the Gulf of Mexico) and south eastern Atlantic region. These areas will be open to commerce and economic freedom.

However, the urban dense populations (Blue pockets within Red zones) will push-back against the efforts of the Red generals in an attempt to retain alignment with their Blue team generals. Depending on the strength of the urban forces there may be roadblocks, sabotage, skirmishes and political violence against the freedom & liberty Red team.

Red captives within the Blue zones will have to be smart and strategic. Big Blue tech will be assisting the totalitarian Blue generals. Direct confrontation against the Blue forces should be avoided, and it will likely be a better strategy to fight stealthily as insurgents.

Any Red team member of the economic freedom alliance, trapped within a Blue region, is warned to evaluate their connection to their electronic devices. Your cell phones could be used as portable transponders expose your movement and your political views.

This is going to be one hell of a battle.

Essentially we are looking at a Spring and Summer conflict, an economic civil war between Blue states/regions and Red states/regions.

 

Senior Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett: “Unemployment Likely 16 to 17%” – “Q2 GDP Negative 20 to 30%”…


Kevin Hassett, senior advisor to President Trump, says we’re going to see unemployment rates similar to what we saw during the Great Depression, but the White House has a plan for an economic comeback.  As Hasset notes: due to various relief programs the overall worker income is still consistent, but outputs from income are non-existent.

In this interview with CNBC Hassett estimates the current unemployment rate at 16 to 17 percent; & the likely result of the second quarter GDP around -20 to -30 percent. Hassett notes the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has several challenges as they attempt to quantify economic activity during the shut-down.  However, those are stunning numbers.

Maria Bartiromo Expands on Her Flynn Exoneration Claim – James Baker Notes Highlight FBI Set Up…


Yesterday Maria Bartiromo caused a stir when she tweeted that sources told her “Michael Flynn will be exonerated this week. It was a total fraud. A set up.”

Today, in an interview with Georgia Rep. Doug Collins Ms. Bartiromo expands on what she was told.

Apparently, former FBI chief legal counsel James Baker made notes surrounding the FBI meeting where agent Peter Strzok and agent Joseph Pientka interviewed National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.  According to Bartiromo James Baker’s notes are exculpatory in that they show the intent and purpose of the FBI interview was to set-up Lt Gen. Flynn.

.

Baker was removed from his position December 21, 2017, around the same time when James Wolfe was removed from the SSCI.  James Baker resigned from the FBI on May 4, 2018, right in the middle of the 2018 FBI cover-up operations.  When Baker resigned the James Wolfe indictment was hidden & sealed (since March ’18); the Julian Assange indictment was hidden and sealed (since March ’18); and two months later the FBI lied to the FISA court (July 12, 2018).

The in the spring and summer of 2018 the DOJ/FBI was trying to: (1) protect Robert Mueller’s fraudulent investigation; (2) hide their prior corruption, including fisa; and (3) delay everything until the Democrats could take the House in the mid-terms.

Wonderful news! Vile leftist character assassin David Brock is under investigation


Patriots Foundation, a right-leaning government watchdog, alleged that the transactions violated Internal Revenue Service rules that prohibit nonprofit organizations from using tax-exempt resources to pay personal or private expenses

David Brock is under investigation
David Brock is the disgraced former journalist and pathological liar who runs well-funded, tax-exempt slander shops like Media Matters for America, American Bridge, and Correct the Record. He tried to destroy Fox News. He ultimately failed in that endeavor but did manage to inflict some damage on the cable TV news giant.

He is under investigation for alleged tax-related improprieties, reports TheBlaze:

David Brock, who was described by Time magazine as “one of the most influential operatives in the Democratic Party,” is accused of illegally transferring millions of dollars from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity. Brock, the founder of Media Matters for America and a longtime ally of the Clintons, is under investigation for possibly violating tax laws.

Far-left Super PAC American Bridge 21st Century was founded by Brock in 2011, which included the nonprofit group American Bridge Foundation. The AB Foundation is accused of transferring $2.7 million in tax-exempt assets to True Blue Media, a for-profit company owned by Brock that is the parent company of ShareBlue, a for-profit media company now known as The American Independent, according to the Daily Caller.

American Bridge Foundation’s transfers to True Blue Media were disclosed in the nonprofit’s Form 990s filed to the IRS in 2017 and 2018.

Patriots Foundation, a right-leaning government watchdog, alleged that the transactions violated Internal Revenue Service rules that prohibit nonprofit organizations from using tax-exempt resources to pay personal or private expenses of any key figures connected to the nonprofit. The Iowa-based watchdog filed a complaint with the IRS.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Protests nationwide scheduled for May 1


OPEN THE STATES. GO BACK TO WORK. TURN ON THE ECONOMY.

OPEN THE STATES.  GO BACK TO WORK
Graphic: Open The States

A growing number of groups in US states are preparing protests against the lockdowns on May 1.

I’ve found two sites that are publishing information on the protests.

Agencies like the CDC and the World Health Organization appoint themselves the “new global governance.”

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealedclick here.)

Check out your state and see what’s upcoming.

As far as I can tell, this is not a top-down single-leader movement.  It’s a state by state proposition.  That would be a good thing.  Groups in each state should run their own operations.

Here is a quote from American Revolution 2.0:

“Governor Executive Orders violate the United States Constitution and negate the responsibility of individual citizens for their ‘Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness’. The precedent set by removing these Constitutional Rights is staggering and to date unheard of.”

Of course, agencies like the CDC and the World Health Organization appoint themselves the “new global governance.”  Their job is painting as bleak a picture as possible, making it seem that, without their top-down control, the population of Earth would be decimated.

This is always the way of tyrants.  How else can they justify their criminal actions?

The endless invention of enemies is a strategy as old as the hills.

Peace and prosperity are stakes through the hearts of vampires.

The culture of society is becoming more infantile every day

For the CDC and WHO and Bill Gates, the idea that someone somewhere might be living free and healthy on his own accord…THAT to them is the virus which must be conquered.

To accomplish this victory, they enlist the help of public and private meddlers and gossipers and snitches and censors, whose only thrill in life is finding “rule-breakers.”  Therefore, the more rules the better.

The culture of society is becoming more infantile every day—-wash your hands, wash them again, don’t touch your face, stay indoors, wear a mask, wear gloves, stand six feet apart, wait in line, don’t breathe on your neighbor, be polite, watch TV for marching orders—-but those people who still understand what freedom means are under no obligation to cater to that “culture.”

Lowest common denominator is not a principle contained in the Constitution.  In fact, wherever the principle is found, it’s a cover for dictatorship.  For example, the ubiquitous “we’re all in this together” is a massage for the brainless.

Translation: “You’re all one giant cheese glob, and we, the World Health Organization, with Bill Gates money, are pressing the two pieces of toast together and making the sandwich.”

State by state, the protests against unconstitutional insanity are scheduled for May 1.

OPEN THE STATES.  GO BACK TO WORK.  TURN ON THE ECONOMY.

The True Story Of How Humanity’s Being ‘Fundamentally Transformed’ In Our Lifetime


What have they done to My Home, Sweet Home…

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesApril 27, 2020

The True Story Of How Humanity's Being 'Fundamentally Transformed' In Our Lifetime

This is being written as a dire warning to all, pleading with each and every one of you that you come to understand that our Deep State government  has a hidden agenda which has little to do with the Wuhan virus. Use your own critical thinking skills and take personal responsibility for your own research. Do not take my words verbatim, nor those of the supporting links (mostly in the Appendix), but spend the time as if your life depended on it. Come to your own conclusions. Our governments are lying to us. The most difficult thing for each of us will be to totally disregard the chattering media class. It is nothing but lies and propaganda. Think for yourself. Trust yourself. We need to come to grips with what is really happening and then to tell others. Talk about this now before it is too late.

Do you know Neil Ferguson? Look below the Appendix line for why you should know exactly who he is and what he alone is responsible for.

So, let us begin: There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind by now that China, more specifically, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CCP) and President Xi Jinping, has caused worldwide death and economic chaos, based on his handling of the deadly novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan from mid-October, 2019 through January, 2020. Whether the virus was a bioweapon or not is for legal scholars to deal with in the future but, for our purposes today, it is almost immaterial.

It is a provable fact that the leaders of Communist China covered up the severity of the outbreak with massive amounts of control, misdirection, and false reporting by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). The WHO is publicly and privately funded by various organizations and governments, the world’s largest vaccine alliance, GAVI, and heavily financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the World Bank, mainly for the purpose of selling vaccines globally. The WHO is essentially a lobbying group for the most powerful NWO globalists.  Mandatory vaccine and immunity ID cards are the globalists goals. Kill their plans now! .—Source

It is a physical impossibility to ‘lockdown’ (a term once used exclusively in prisons) three and a half billion people, without long term strategic planning of the large-scale economic and societal consequences in a worldwide pandemic. Did the Wuhan virus crisis become the mechanism for which the globalists had planned as a world-changing-event to create the framework for a totalitarian dictatorship, better known as the New World Order (NWO), which will be carried to completion under the auspices and control of the United Nations?

But, for the Trump-haters here in the US, the Wuhan virus created an environment where millions of middle-class-jobs would be lost by a forced economic-standstill, along with the complete disruption of citizens’ every-day lives.

The crisis presented itself as a vehicle to criticize the perceived mishandling of  the epidemic and, in turn, the destruction of the entire U.S. economy, placing the blame on the shoulders of President Donald Trump which, if played out according to plan, will leave the nation and its economy in complete shambles by Election Day on November 3, 2020.

A scripted spokesman for the above cabal: Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat: “The reason that we’re in the crisis that we are today is not because of anything that China did, is not because of anything the World Health Organization (WHO) did, it’s because of what President Trump did.” Words that will be more easily seen as part of the hidden agenda as you read on…—Source

It is vitally important that you become fully aware of their planning, and scripting stages, wherein the scripting of who says what (where Governor Cuomo played a starring role) and, when it  was said, all to gain maximum effect on the locked  down, fearful populous.  It is also important to realize that the war on terrorism has generally run its course, where the agent of biggest threat to your safety and security is now—disease.

EVENT 21

October 18, 2019: Event 21 was reportedly a fantasized scenario, a worldwide pandemic hosted by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), in New York City, NY.

How could an integrated global endeavor such as Event 21 with the massive amount of coordination necessary for each individual country’s response to a worldwide pandemic come about by chance?  An event of this scale and magnitude would have taken years of planning, training and scripting. It is easy to believe that mandatory vaccine and immunity ID cards are the true goals of NWO globalists. The only people who cannot see this are those who, for their own personal reasons, choose not to.

It is my sincere belief that Event 21, was the globalists’  final session to make sure everyone was on the same page before the go-live-signal was given.

Citizens are being locked-down like prisoners, with their only avenue of escape being a  mandatory vaccine and immunity ID card

There is little doubt that all northeastern states had representatives present to discuss how and when dictates were to be put in place and the lockdown of all non-essential people would proceed. Again, as my last qualifying statement, it is your prerogative to believe that Event 21 was nothing more than an exercise, and you may look upon what I have posted here as nothing more than a conspiracy theory, or possibly not. Your call.—Source

However,  all citizens are being locked-down like prisoners, with their only avenue of escape being a  mandatory vaccine and immunity ID card which, more than likely will have GPS tracking. They are already claiming that the vaccine will not be ready until the fall, possibly later. Then they will eventually need a recurrence, or new outbreak in the number of Wuhan virus cases, because—are you ready—many of you were not adhering to proper social distancing policies. See, it’s your fault! We asked for your help in flattening the curve, but you would not stick by the rules.  When the immunity cards are finally issued, the scanning of your vaccine and/or ID card for verification could take place as you enter any public venue, shopping mall, sports stadium or possibly while stopped for a traffic violation. Their interactions for conformity become endless.

You will note that the China (CCP) lied about the extremely large number of cases and deaths associated with the Wuhan virus, especially after the pandemic was going viral. And in turn the US, Canada and the UK also lied, but for the opposite reason of the extremely low number of cases and deaths. Did their numbers have to be inflated for the purpose of advancing their hidden political agenda, to again, create the framework for a totalitarian dictatorship—the New World Order?

What have they done to My Home, Sweet Home…

Now that we know their intentions for society in our lifetimes, hopefully you and your loved ones have taken the time to coordinate your own plans for safety’s sake.

Pray people of the U.S.  Pray for the survival of our country. Pray for your families and close friends. Stay physically in shape, be mentally prepared, but above all, be spiritually aware that God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, and not the politicians and their bureaucrats,  are fully in charge. Amen.

And, this is when, my dear friends, we will sadly get to hear the Fat Lady sing, ‘God Bless America’. Whoever is last man out, kindly turn the lights off,  ‘cause this party will officially be over.

We’ve come a long way from Kate Smith’s ‘God Bless America’ and without drastic intervention, may not be able to find our way back again.

What have they done to My Home, Sweet Home…

Kate Smith’s ‘God Bless America’

 

Coming This Week: The Media Walk Back Of The President’s Task Force Downfall


So wrapped up in their corrosive hatred of Trump and his supporters, the media seems unaware that it is sending a dangerous message to the outside world.

Coming This Week: The Media Walk Back Of The President’s Task Force Downfall

Abeleaguered President Donald Trump has finally asked the question millions have been asking ever since the first televised Coronavirus Task Force presser: “Why have daily press conferences for ‘Lamestream Media’?”

Spot on, Mr. President! WHY?!

Forced against their will into home lockdown,  kept-from-going-to-work-masses have had little else to do but watch the approximate 50 televised press conferences starring the Coronavirus Task Force for the past two long and worrisome months.

“On Friday, the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing was the shortest to date, lasting about all of 25 minutes. And on Saturday, there was no briefing.” (Breitbart, April, 25, 2020)

Many would have added the word, “Mercifully!”

Even as he walked out on Friday shortly after Vice President Mike Pence delivered his message to the surly media crowd, unnamed screech owl reporters hurled : ”Is now the time for sarcasm?” at his receding back.

“What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“The daily press briefings have been a fixture of the Trump White House for the last few weeks during the coronavirus pandemic, even during the weekends. (Breitbart)

“Despite some heated exchanges with White House reporters in the press briefing room, Trump’s daily press conferences drew record ratings to cable news channels, especially Fox News.”

Fox News paid him back in kind with yet another faux poll, this one concluding from only 800 Michigan voters that he was eight points behind Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden in the Great Lakes State.

Mainstream and Social Media-hyped,  many stars have been given birth at the daily press conferences, Doctors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx to be sure.

“New York Governor Andrew Cuomo continues having daily press conferences that are also aired live on cable news.” (Breitbart)

Rather than inform a worldwide watching public about the latest information on the devastating trajectory of COVID-19, rude and screeching White House Press Correspondent members have exploited the pandemic, turning it into The Biggest and Most Raucous Show on Earth.

Tragically, the voice of the loved ones of pandemic victims are never heard.

After all’s been said and done, this is how Breitbart describes the President’s Saturday walk out from the conference:

“But after the media went wild over President Trump’s question to the doctors about injecting disinfectants or ultraviolet light into the body to fight coronavirus, the president appeared tired of giving the media record access. (Breitbart)

“The president ‘appeared’ tired of giving the media record access?”

How about the president was saying “Enough Already!” “Get back to reporting the news!”?

“They get record ratings, and the American people get nothing but Fake News,” Trump wrote. “Not worth the time and effort!”

“It is unclear whether Trump is ending the briefings altogether, or just for the weekend. (Breitbart)

“White House officials are reportedly reconsidering the value of the briefings and the president’s appearance at the podium.

“Trump continued criticizing the media on Saturday, including the false claim that he called the coronavirus pandemic a “hoax.”

“Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do-Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax,” Trump wrote. “They have been called out and embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!”

He could have added that the pandemic has brought the American economy he built down to its knees:

“In a nutshell, the United States probably threw itself into an economic death spiral and civil liberties killing spree for nothing. For reasons yet to be determined, the virus follows a fixed pattern and burns itself out. The Wuhan virus was never going to cascade exponentially through the population and kill millions unless we incarcerated ourselves in our homes, as so many catastrophized. (Any of this remind you of ‘Russian collusion’?) (RedState, April 26, 2020)

It has become crystal clear that the media has used the briefings to put words into the president’s mouth—their words—all lies!

So wrapped up in their corrosive hatred of Trump and his supporters, the media seems unaware that it is sending a dangerous message to the outside world.

It’s a message to America’s enemies that America has been rendered vulnerable and remains open to attack.

Meanwhile, the latte-sipping media out there this weekend celebrating the fall of President Trump will soon have to walk it back.

When the president issues the inevitable Back to Work order, he will have righted (pun intended) once again the Good ship USS America.

You are faltering, Mister President


Encourage those my age, and younger, to limit their exposure, and send the less affected age groups back to work. Wearing masks and gloves, if necessary. Because the clock is ticking

You are faltering, Mister President

Each shutdown day after May Day, Trump’s support drops a notch.

He was conned by the Big Government Doctors.

He said, “Two very smart people came into my office”.  Though unnamed, we know who.

The President surrendered the U.S. economy

One a fawning, male admirer of Hillary Clinton. The other a CDC and PEPFAR advocate for the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI).

The President surrendered the U.S. economy to their judgment. And by May Day, nearly 30 million American workers will be unemployed.

What was packaged as a way to save American lives, has morphed into a way to dispirit Trump’s base.  And it’s working.

First, the white coats—a powerful symbol of scientific infallibility—downplayed the danger.

Later, their complicit media converts their discounting into criticism of Trump.

When their diagnosis shifts, their media, with hair-on-fire, chant the fear that millions of Americans will die unless the economy is closed.

There is no review or rebuttal from within the “scientific community”—an entity that, for now, retains the once impeccable, but now discredited, reputation of the “intelligence community”.

The politicians line up in support—bipartisan-like. Which means, of course, it cannot be challenged. Congress dispenses a cornucopia of financial aid with money recently printed by the Central Bank of Shangri-La.

Congress dispenses a cornucopia of financial aid with money recently printed by the Central Bank of Shangri-La

A cadre of mostly Democrat governors, who live surrounded by State Police bodyguards and chauffeured in black suburbans, dive into their new mission. “Shut her down” becomes the new “Get her done.”

The governor of Georgia takes his delegated responsibility seriously, and opens up his state. He gets booed by the left, and, oddly enough, by the President who says “I’m not happy with him”. 

Peaceful protests pop-up, led by out-of-work citizens who want relief from unemployment. They’re overwhelmingly Trump supporters, today. Someone sneaks in a Nazi sign and the media jumps all over it, of course.

The routine of the Virus Press Conference bleeds impact and relevance. It degenerates into the President calling out the standard merchants of fake news. No news there. Just old news. No longer entertaining news. Boring.

Trump speculates out-loud about disinfecting people from the inside. He should know better to do that in a room where sharks constantly sniff for blood. The sharks bite, ‘cause that’s what they do.  If he intentionally bated them, it’s time to shut-down that urge. We get it—they’re corrupt.

The routine of the Virus Press Conference bleeds impact and relevance

He later says it was a sarcastic remark.  That doesn’t wash.  Better to say, “Look, I was just thinking out loud. ‘Spit-balling’. Get a freaking life!”

To the point: It’s time to shut down the shut-down.

People can go to a hardware store, but not their barber—even if the barber is wearing rubber gloves and a mask. And a hazmat suit.

If a friend in Michigan doesn’t wear a mask to the pharmacy to get his BP meds, he’ll face arrest. Gruppenführer Gretchen will see to it.

A crew of workers within reach of each other dig a trench for the footings of a nail shop in a strip mall. But wait, nail salons must remain closed.

The shutdown rules are a Rubik’s Cube with no solution.

All the while, Joe Biden sits in his basement—- like Chris Cuomo pretended to do— while, sadly, his mind leaves the house.

Outside, the Democrat Party meets to figure out who Trump will face in November.  Slim Pickens.

If Trump intends to win against the Mystery Contestant, he needs to attend, not just to his base, but to the American people.

Encourage those my age, and younger, to limit their exposure, and send the less affected age groups back to work. Wearing masks and gloves, if necessary.  Because the clock is ticking.

Obama/Biden Financed China’s Virus Experiments


American tax dollars and expertise were provided under the cover of U.S.-China “cooperation” and could have made the virus and its release possible. The NIH and Director Collins have a lot to explain and answer for

Obama/Biden Financed China's Virus Experiments

President Trump is not a doctor and has never claimed to be one. He defers to the doctors and scientists. But has that been a mistake? It turns out that one of the country’s most prominent medical and scientific organizations, the federally-funded National Institutes of Health (NIH), has been funding investigations in China’s most controversial and insecure lab of dangerous viruses in China.

This scandal is far more serious than the president’s personal opinions about the use of sunlight and disinfectants to fight coronavirus.

Presumably, the money was for the purpose of understanding dangerous viruses and stopping their spread. But something went horribly wrong. The bodies are piling up all around us and the U.S. has entered an economic depression as a result.

This story is unfolding as Trump is reportedly contemplating ending his daily White House briefings because of the hostile treatment he receives from the press. That’s an understandable reaction. But the briefings have been helpful. Consider that on April 17, at one of those briefings, Trump was asked about a federal grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2015, the lab linked to controversial virus and animal experiments. The question was posed by Emerald Robinson, the White House Correspondent for Newsmax TV. “When did you hear the grant was made?” Trump responded, after confirming the grant. “2015? Who was president then? I wonder.” He said the Trump Administration would cut off the money.

My own digging led to a 2013 grant for the study of “infectious diseases” in China provided by the NIH and National Science Foundation. Dr. Zhengli Shi, Director of Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was an investigator. This is the famous “bat woman” who denies her lab was the source of the coronavirus.

A reporter with good sources who has been critical of China, Josh Rogin of the Washington Post, disclosed State Department cables in 2018 that warned of safety issues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and “a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.” Rogin added, “The Chinese researchers at WIV were receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and other U.S. organizations, but the Chinese requested additional help. The cables argued that the United States should give the Wuhan lab further support, mainly because its research on bat coronaviruses was important but also dangerous.”

The “other organizations” appear to be a reference to the international “partners” of the WIV listed on the Chinese organization’s own website: University of Alabama, University of North Texas, EcoHealth Alliance, Harvard University, and the National Institutes of Health.

Why was the NIH underwriting Chinese research into dangerous viruses, knowing about the risks and dangers?

The question of “further support” for the controversial Chinese lab was presented in terms of concern by State Department or U.S. embassy officials. But why was the support provided in the first place? It is entirely possible, even probable, that American expertise made it possible for the Chinese to run their dangerous disease research. After all, the Chinese are known for stealing intellectual property.

The key question all along is one that should be directed to NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins: Why was the NIH underwriting Chinese research into dangerous viruses, knowing about the risks and dangers?

Understanding that this matter is political dynamite which could backfire on Joe Biden or any other Democratic Party presidential nominee, a left-wing so-called “fact-checking” website, Snopes, examined the issue and confirmed that a grant was made through a U.S.-based organization, the EcoHealth Alliance, and that the funds came from the NIH. Snopes added, “While a portion of these grants funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), this lab did not receive all $3.7 million.”

The scandal, of course, is why tax dollars were flowing into the WIV in the first place and without adequate oversight.

The NIH money was provided to the WIV apparently because Dr. Collins and others thought China would cooperate with the U.S. in stopping such threats. But China and its front, the World Health Organization, initially covered-up the spread of the coronavirus. What’s more, China let residents of Wuhan travel around the world, including to the United States, spreading the disease.

Snopes doesn’t want to justify the Trump Administration’s anti-China stance and cut-off of $400 million annually to the WHO

Snopes’ well-known left-wing bias helps us understand why it gave the media reports about the $3.7 million in grants a “mixture” rating of truth and falsity, rather than declare the main charge absolutely true and give Trump credit for responding in the way he did. It wants to get the Obama/Biden Administration off the hook for complicity in a scandal involving scientific and medical research that may have led to sickening and killing millions of people. It doesn’t want to justify the Trump Administration’s anti-China stance and cut-off of $400 million annually to the WHO.

Trump doesn’t get off the hook completely. He bowed to Collins’ supporters in Congress, including Democrats and some top Republicans, and kept him in the NIH post. Collins is an Obama holdover (since 2009) who was so cozy with the Chinese that, during a 2010 trip to China, he signed scientific agreements with them and also played a song for them on the guitar. The bizarre spectacle was captured in the story, “Music and science strengthen US-China relations.”

One could argue that the communists played Collins like a violin.

Although Congressional investigations are needed, the basic facts are already clear: American tax dollars and expertise were provided under the cover of U.S.-China “cooperation” and could have made the virus and its release possible. The NIH and Director Collins have a lot to explain and answer for.

Is the Virus Being Exploited to Justify the Federalization of Europe?


The head of the Institute for the World Economy believes that sooner or later tax increases must be considered in order to cope with the corona crisis. There is absolutely no question that this coronavirus will be used to raise taxes dramatically to cover the revenue losses that those in power created with their draconian measures. Many banks in Europe, suffering from loans from the 2008 crisis, are now unwilling to provide emergency loans to small businesses. The economic devastation of the European economy is just totally insane. The self-employed are facing financial ruin and the economic activity will collapse to the Great Depression-era level if not worse.

The decision of the leaders in the European Union just defies common sense. One must ponder whether they are really this stupid, or is this deliberately being used to force their long-awaited dream of justifying the generalization of Europe.

 

Our computer picked up this crash in indices and individual stocks. Yet, we have to wonder if the reluctance to reopen and the pronouncement that social distancing will remain for a while, killing the usual tourism which is the key to Southern Europe’s economic survival, will merely be repeated for the next flu season. It simply does not appear that there are any qualified politicians in charge or they are deliberately sacrificing the livelihood of the people to justify the generalization of Europe
