QUESTION: Did the sea level rise after the last Ice Age? When did warfare begin?
HS
ANSWER: About 85% if pre-history ancient sites are actually underwater. Usually, ancient people were close to the sea. As a result, many pre-history sites are still underwater which sunk after the last Ice Age. A great example of that is Atlit Yam which was an ancient submerged Neolithic village off the coast of Atlit, Israel. It has been carbon-dated as to be between 8900 and 8300 years old. Among the features of the 10-acre site is a stone circle.
The Neolithic (“New Stone Age”), was the final division of the Stone Age period, which began about 12,000 years ago and is distinguished by the first developments of farming. The Neolithic first farmers, spread westward from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) arriving in central Europe 7500 years ago. They tended to be more settled lives than the nomadic fishing and foraging peoples they displaced, but they also were territorial. There is evidence that there was violence with mass gravesso there was clearly warfare even back during the transition to the Neolithic period.
There are over 35,000 megaliths in Europe alone, ranging from Sweden to the Mediterranean sea. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, which is probably the most famous of this megalithic period. The Neolithic Megalithic era gives way to the Bronze Age. Archaeologists believe Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
So yes the sea level rose following the Ice Age and there is evidence that warfare existed even during pre-history.
The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged world leaders to create a temporary form of global governmentto tackle the twin medical and economic crises caused by the Coronavirus. He is no fool. He knows once there is the formation of anything pretended to be “temporary” it exists forever. Why are these people so intent upon trashing our freedoms and converting the world into an authoritarian paradise for them?
Keynesian Economics is collapsing. They will all be thrown out on the street if not dragged out and hanged when hoards of people who counted on these social programs realize they have been played for fools.
Since the coronavirus model of Neil Ferguson has been shown to be wrong, they will NEVERrelinquish the emergency powers that have seized already. When Fergusonappeared before the British Parliament, they never once criticized him and simply said thank you for your efforts. Why is there no recognition of this?
The stay-at-home should be immediately revoked and businesses should be restored. The fact that this is NOT being done has shown precisely what I was getting from my sources that this was (1) bogus, and (2) there were elites who sold in January everything, including bonds. This is the first collapse where the flight to quality was NOT to bonds, but to cash.
As they say, this ain’t over until the fat lady sings. This is a coup against our freedom because socialism is on the verge of collapse. Yet in Asia, they are trying to resume to normalASAP unlike what we see in Europe in particular.
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an event. A working hypothesis is a provisional explanation that requires further investigation before making a flat claim of accuracy.
Working Hypothesis: The COVID-19 event is a covert act—one not openly shown, engaged in, or avowed—of biological terrorism sanctioned by the top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and aimed at the United States, with the expectation that other nations—as collateral damage—would incur consequences when their populations were also exposed to the virulent pathogen to a level that would mask the focused target of the assault.
COVID-19 is the CCP’s retaliation to the threat of US tariffs on Chinese goods
MOTIVE: COVID-19 is the CCP’s retaliation to the threat of US tariffs on Chinese goods that led, in July 2018, to the actual imputation of tariffs.
“Over the 18 months that have followed since, the two countries have been embroiled in countless back-and-forth negotiations, a tit-for-tat tariff war, introduced foreign technology restrictions, fought several WTO cases, consequently leading US-China trade tensions to the brink of a full-blown trade war.”
The incremental steps in that war are chronicled in China Briefing, a publication of Dezan Shira & Associates, “a pan-Asia, multi-disciplinary professional services firm, providing legal, tax and operational advisory to international corporate investors.” The situation seemed to shift in January 2020.
“[F]inally, on January 15, 2020, the first signs of a truce were seen, when the two sides signed the Phase One Deal, which officially agreed to the rollback of tariffs, expansion of trade purchases, and renewed commitments on intellectual property, technology transfer, and currency practices.”
As background to the “full-blown trade war,” today’s China is focused on Xi Jinping’s signature foreign policy goal: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
“China is using its vast and growing economic activity overseas to strengthen national competitiveness and build international leverage. Broadly, the strategy has two prongs: first, to acquire the technological expertise needed for China to become a first-rank industrial and military power; second, to assert China’s economic leadership around the world, transforming it into a serious rival to the United States.”
The Belt and Road Initiative, ignored by a US news media focused mainly on partisan political strife, is breathtaking both in scope and intention. It features a series of land transit routes, and an archipelago of seaport facilities. BRI involves multiple-nation financing to sustain the construction of roads, pipelines, railway, factories, power grids, and ports facilities, in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Here is its footprint:
Nothing will stand in the way of Xi Jinping’s “New Era” for China. Including Trump’s move toward a more equitable and balanced trade agreement between the two nations. The imbalance has helped China fund the BRI.
The capability of the CCP to produce the COVID-19 virus is not disputed
One initial explanation as to how the virus escaped from the laboratory is that it was in dead lab bats that were not properly destroyed after their experimental use, but were sold in a nearby food market by an enterprising lab employee.
But since dead bats don’t fly, even if the narrative is true, it doesn’t account for the international spread of the virus.
A McKinsey & Company document entitled “Chinese tourists: Dispelling the myths, An in-depth look at China’s outbound tourist market,” suggests s way to expand exposure to the virus.
“Chinese outbound tourism has become the biggest tourist segment in the world. Where once tourists from China stayed close to home, they are now venturing farther afield thanks to more flexibility in international travel requirements (visas), an increasing interest in experiencing destinations outside of their comfort zones, and rising incomes… outbound trips are expected to reach 160 million by 2020.”
But would the CCP knowingly infect its own citizens with the COVID-19 virus as a catapult to spreading it?
In the chapter entitled “The Communist Chinese Anthill” in Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawaii R.J. Rummel’s book “Death By Government,” Rummel states:
Is China hiding the real numbers?
”[F]rom October 1949 to 1987, the Chinese Communist Party probably killed more than 35,200,000 of its own subjects.”
As of this writing, the number of reported COVID-19 deaths in China is 3,287. Meanwhile, Italy plus Spain’s death toll is over 12,000.
By comparison, the curve of the graph of reported deaths in China is inexplicable. It suddenly flatlines on or about March 1. How does that happen? Is China hiding the real numbers?
There is no disputing that the “China virus” came from China. Or, that China had the means to spread it, globally.
Nor is there any disputing the fact that the CCP has a long history of not holding the value of its citizenry in the highest regard. See Tiananmen Square.
Division, Disorder, Destruction
OPPORTUNITY: If you are a nation state opposed to another nation state, and, if your intent is to sow the seeds of division, disorder and destruction among your opponent short of open warfare, then the host conditions were ripe for sowing in the USA.
Division: The election of Donald Trump was the catalyst for a “Resistance” that continues unabated.
Disorder: The liberal, progressive media—which still dominates the field of “news—is driven to distraction by its insane hatred of so-called ‘Orange Man’.
Destruction: Of the nation’s economic health and its population’s confidence in its governments.
COVID-19 came to an America as divided as it’s been since the Vietnam War—if not more so.
Dialogue between the two major political parties becomes more strident by the month.
The hatred on the Left toward the President showed no signs of abating, even when the economy was in high gear.
Mayors of Big Blue cities, and governors of Blue States, looked for opportunities to criticize Trump even before COVID-19 hit.
In short, the psychic health of the nation was ill-prepared for a pandemic.
Today, Americans are binge-buying firearms and ammo, reminiscent of the Obama era.
The pre-existing low-trust level of the citizenry in government drops lower, as some state and local governments exercise unparalleled control over the lives of their citizens.
The continuous COVID-19 hysteria pushed by the media
The continuous COVID-19 hysteria pushed by the media drives them to their local grocery store to horde paper towels, toilet paper, and canned food. Lockdowns are announced. Arrests are made of those who won’t comply. All this evolved very quickly.
The CCP was well aware of the pre-COVID-19 internal conditions in America. We’re an open society. They read us like an open book.
But we read them like the vast, largely inscrutable nation they are. Through frosted glasses.
With 370,000 students from China attending American universities (2018-2019, representing a nearly 400% increase from ten years ago), the CCP has ears-on-the-ground to keep Beijing appraised of the American psyche.
So, if the intent of COVID-19 was as this working hypothesis suggests, then this was the opportune time to launch the virus.
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, always appreciate your insight and perspective, especially during this crisis. Please help me and your audience understand why the elite, left and Progressives believe it is necessary to weigh the economic cost of saving a life (Obama Care death panels/Bill Gates) but dismiss this logic during this crisis? I now hear all life is precious and if the closure of the economy is required to save even one life, it must be done Hypocrisy! This holds for their refusal to allow the use of long used antivirals…their message, let them die. Their hypocrisy must be exposed,
Thank you, Joe
ANSWER: There is no logic to this. The UK has downgraded this virus and there is NO EVIDENCEthat it warrants shutting down the entire economy. There is a political agenda here that seems to go beyond just trying to overthrow Trump and Merkel. This is also about rushing in ID2020 to infuse us all with chips, thanks to Bill Gates.
COMMENT: Marty, JB here.
I love you Man!!!
It took me a while to figure some stuff out. I guess I was busy working, raising my 4 kids, and not getting enough sleep.
When they told me Y2K was a huge danger (planes could fall out of the sky) it sounded and smelled like BS.
They completely lost me out here in California when the “High Speed Rail” was voted in (it got 79% yes voted, nothing gets 79%, 60/40-maybe). People think I’m crazy when I tell them the vote is rigged in Cali, but now we know for sure because of the emails.
Coronavirus, I’m fighting this the best way I know how, by drinking Corona beer. Right?!?! I mean, it’s gotta be about as good as anything!!! I don’t know why I love you more, is it your amazing calls on financial issues or just how you point out the “Bovine Scatology”?
Keep on rocking Baby!
You are the best!
ANSWER: Thank you. Yes, we are neck-deep in the Bovine Scatology for sure just about everywhere we look. This is unfortunately how all republics die. They drown in their own corruption. This is also the number #1 cause that leads to revolution. Sometimes it can be bloodless as was the case with the collapse of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe. But sometimes it becomes just a bloodbath. The loser is painted by history as the traitor and the victor as the glorious defender of whatever system is in place at that moment.
The White House has appointed world-renowned global health official and physician Ambassador Deborah Birx to the Office of the Vice President to aid in the whole of government response to COVID-19 as the Coronavirus Response Coordinator. Please note that Dr. Birx is not from CDC nor John Hopkins. She is now explaining that the models used by the academics which have created such a panic are just wrong. She has cited the Ferguson study which has got the world in lock down and unleashed such economic havoc that it is just still unimaginable.
The “Blue Plague” is an intentional effort by various interests to create fear-porn amid the American population by intentionally hyping a mass hysteria about the coronavirus. In many ways the Blue Plague is exponentially more dangerous than COVID-19 itself.
Earlier today, The New York Times became the epicenter of the Blue Plague by stating people in hospitals throughout the city were dying, as desperately under-prepared and under-equipped doctors and nurses could not find ventilators for thousands of arriving patients in a state of panic. This was/is incitement at its worst.
Blue doctors and Blue nurses, aligned with the political resistance efort, transmitted videos claiming desperate and dying patients, using the term “apocalyptic surge“…
[…] hospitals are under siege. New York City’s hospitals run the gamut from prestigious teaching institutions catering to the elite to public hospitals providing care for some of the poorest communities in the nation. Regardless of whom they serve, few have been spared the impact of the pandemic: A flood of sick and fearful New Yorkers has besieged emergency rooms across the city.
[…] At least two city hospitals have filled up their morgues, and city officials anticipated the rest would reach capacity by the end of this week, according to the briefing. The state requested 85 refrigerated trailers from FEMA for mortuary services, along with staff, the briefing said. (link)
Of course, all of the emphasis is false, everyone is getting treated, and so far the pandemic has created no more of a crisis than a high-flu season. However, the panic such fear-porn creates can deliver a self-fulfilling outcome. Immediately, the downstream media, specifically CNN, take the script and begin amplifying the panic story-line.
This unfortunate gross-media manipulation is exactly what caused task force member Dr. Birx to step to the microphones today and state the activity on the ground does not match the fear-porn models that media are hyping. WATCH:
There is a coordinated effort from the very top of the medical profession to direct doctors to shut down which seems to be a very questionable overreaction. We have many clients who are doctors who are free thinkers and are questioning what is going on. One has written in:
Marty,
Please understand that most doctors do not view this pandemic from a stance of arrogance. It is rather that most doctors today are simply ignorant of real scientific medicine. They are followers, doing as they are told from their administrators, and elected leaders of the various medical societies, who are just as ignorant of the potential threat.
Many doctors today do not know how to evaluate tests, or stratify risk. They simply look at the result and accept it. They accept whatever is written in the journals, without thinking critically about the matter.
Now, there does seem to be something unusual going on at the apex of the medical decision-making pyramid, but I don’t know where it originates.
There’s been a debate about possible political motives surrounding the panic he has created; the massive economic damage he has inflicted; and the conflicting assertions of National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci.
CTH identifies the motives as sketchy. He appears to use his position to advance theories and yet position himself to avoid scrutiny.
Sometimes within a 24 hour period Fauci will make a statement, then contradict the initial assertion, then attempt to cloud his own conflict with obtuse and wordy explanations. After watching for several weeks, we called it out HERE.
Perhaps one way to help see through the professional obfuscation, and identify just exactly how political Dr. Fauci is, would be to: compare and contrast Dr. Fauci under President Obama in September 2009 after 3,000 to 4,000 H1N1 deaths in the USA -vs- Dr. Fauci under President Trump in March 2020 after 200 to 300 COVID-19 deaths. WATCH:
.
Now, to better absorb the information…. According to the CDC final estimate of 2009 U.S. H1N1 cases (published in 2011): from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million U.S. cases, 274,304 U.S. hospitalizations, and 12,469 U.S. deaths occurred due to H1N1. That’s the empirical data.
After: (1) watching that 2009 video; and (2) comparing the 2009 H1N1 response to the current 2020 COVID-19 response; and (3) reviewing the empirical data; we must admit to ourselves there is a VERY BIG difference. So now, with the baseline established, we look for why such a big difference; and to do that we (4) evaluate the politics:
Now, pause for a moment – reread that again – don’t skip past it. Think about what type of mindset would send such a letter and communication. Apply common sense. Trust your instincts…
Would a person of reasonable disposition send such a letter or email to anyone in their professional network? Would you ever consider writing a letter to your employer, or the family of your employer, declaring your undying love and devotion toward them?
“rarely does a speech bring me to tears”?… “please tell her I love her more than ever”?.. “please tell her that we all love her”… etc.
Seriously…. think about it. If you have ever engaged in a large system, large business, or large network of professionals, how would you react to a person inside that organization who was sending such non-professional communication? What exactly does that say about the emotional stability of such a person?
And this person, right now, with this inherent sensibility, has the most consequential and direct influence over the decision-making for the worlds most powerful nation. Stunning.
The concept of “flattening” the virus curve; the presumptive reason for social distancing and shutting down the U.S. economy; is based on a theory to extend the spread of COVID-19 to a lesser incident rate over a longer duration, thereby lessening the burden on the U.S. healthcare system. Hence, ‘flatten’ the spike in infections.
Put another way: “Flattening” means the same number of people eventually contract the virus, only they do so over a longer period of time, and the healthcare system can treat everyone because the numbers do not rise to level where the system is overloaded. In theory that seems to make sense.
However, no-one is asking: what is the current stress level on the healthcare system right now? Where are we in that capacity?… and what is normal capacity level during a high-level flu outbreak?… and Where are we when compared against that baseline?
♦ Remember in 2009 there were over 61 million cases of H1N1, more than 274,000 hospitalizations and 12,469 additional deathsspecifically attributed to that strain of flu virus in the U.S. [DATA HERE]
The premise to extend the virus duration in an effort to lower the infection rate and spread the virus over a longer period of time needs to measured against: (a) where the healthcare system is at any given moment; and (b) under traditional high-flu seasons where are we during those historic events.
♦ STRESS LEVEL – The healthcare ‘system’ per se, is expending an awful lot of time on mitigation efforts. As Dr. Birx noted: the current negative test rate for coronavirus among those showing symptoms who are tested is 94 to 98 percent. That means of all the people taking coronavirus tests, 94/98 out of 100 are symptomatic (they are sick) but they are not infected with coronavirus. They are normal flu cases.
Our healthcare “system” is expending an incredible amount of resources on a mitigation effort. According to Dr. Birx and the current U.S. test results, 94 to 98 percent of those mitigation efforts are not engaging with coronavirus. They are dealing with regular flu (perhaps a strong flu).
If you extract the mitigation effort from the overall effort, the current stress level on the healthcare system doesn’t seem to be overwhelming. What is stressing the system is a coronavirus mitigation effort with a rate of 94 to 98 percent testing negative.
♦ Dr. Fauci’s theory is self-fulfilling.
If the viral spread never exceeds the capacity of the healthcare system to deal with it, he can claim success. Look, our flattened curve worked.
However, when contrast against flu outbreaks, no-one knows what the COVID-19 capacity threshold is within the healthcare system. There’s no way to disprove Fauci’s theory.
Given the nature of the baseline for overall U.S. sanitation and hygiene, which is significantly higher than Italy, S-Korea and China; and given the higher standards of food safety (U.S. is the world leader); again significantly higher than Italy, S-Korea and China; and given the nature of the U.S. healthcare system (more capacity per person); is it really a fair comparison to overlay a COVID-19 outbreak, without also overlaying a traditional flu outbreak?
Any theory that cannot be scientifically tested; and is simultaneously self-fulfilling; is, by its nature, a false theory.
This is not to say that Dr. Anthony Fauci is intentionally misleading anyone; however, it is absolutely true that no-one will be able to quantify if trillions of dollars of economic wealth lost; and trillions more in economic activity lost; and trillions more in deficit spending; and that might all be done just to follow the fantastical whims of a doctor who is directing the mitigation of an ordinary flu-virus/season, and appears to be quite full of his own sense of self-importance.
CTH analyzes data to assemble unemotional models that reflect/predict outcomes. If this type of government mandate expands much further, there WILL be rationing – it is an inescapable conclusion. It’s not a matter of “if“, it’s a matter of when… where… and how.
Perhaps that explains all the National Guard deployments and pre-staging:
Kansas/Missouri – Today the CORE 4 partners of Jackson County, Missouri; Johnson County, Kansas; Kansas City, Missouri, and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas, based on the urgency of the COVID-19 public health emergency and the imminent rapid progression of the pandemic in our area, announce that beginning Tuesday, March 24, residents will be directed to stay at home except for essential needs.
All jurisdictions will issue orders that will stay in effect for 30 days from the effective date of March 24, with consideration after 30 days of whether to prolong these orders beyond that date, based on public health and critical care metrics available at that time.
Examples of essential businesses and services that will remain open during this time period include critical government services, infrastructure projects, childcare, healthcare, grocery stores, pharmacies, and delivery/carry-out/drive-through services from restaurants. Additional details are forthcoming.
The chief elected officer and medical directors for each jurisdiction will hold a joint news conference tomorrow, March 22 at 1:00 p.m. at Union Station, where more details will be made available. (read more).
When you hear the words “non-essential” consider…. The food supply chain requires constant supplies of: oil, packaging (and all ancillary), cardboard (and all ancillary), paper, recycling, steel, plastics, stone, hydraulics, rubber, parts to repair machinery, fabric, cotton, mechanics, data analysts, communication experts, accountants, actuaries, refrigeration, coolant, glass, wood, barrels, tanks, trucks, and much more…
Whatever “it” is may seem “non-essential” until you start to realize it is part of a massive and complex ancillary input system into a very complex sector of the economy. Remove one component and the system, already under considerable strain, can freeze or slow….
