Coronavirus – a Manufactured Pandemic?

Coronavirus – a Manufactured Pandemic?You know what, ever since the start of this COVID-19 pandemic attack, my untimely boredom resulting from the “social distancing” syndrome and the ensuing self-imposed lockdown, has had me diving into a “never-before” search for answers to the unknown – sort of the same dive as that taken by “Deep Thought” – the supernatural-computer programmed to calculate the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. And…I got to thinking about the chances for this crisis to be all but an ad-hoc creation of China in lieu of their geopolitical struggle for power in this day and age.

There is a serious aura of mystery as this highly infectious pathogen

Let me preface any further dissertations by sharing with you the fact there is, if you will, an inherent sense of novelesque surrealism in this narrative—one namely resulting from the knowledge that, in life, much the same as in most all of Hollywood’s crime thrillers, the final outcome is always unexpected—always uniquely adverse to the obvious, the evident, the conspicuous.

In my case, it all starts at a very early age, one which, by most all standards, politics are somewhat of a distant fairytale fantasy of sorts. At that very early stage of my life, I remember when someone who, later on, I knew to possess a great deal of wisdom, politically speaking or otherwise, my father, who told me back in the 1950s: “While most people dread the fear of Russia’s challenging attempts for world supremacy, it should be China, instead, that people should be fearful of…” – ever so prophetic, I should say. For some reason, don’t ask why, dad’s words of wisdom remained ingrained with me for the rest of my life – to this day.

My contention about all this Coronavirus issue is one where I can’t help but question its dubious origins; one where, admittedly, the Chinese government is largely responsible for letting it get to where we are today. There is a serious aura of mystery as this highly infectious pathogen makes its way around the world killing people, while nations all over, including the most advanced of them all, such as is our U.S.A., find themselves impotently unprepared, caught off-guard if you will, to defend and withstand the inherent global threats of extinction associated with the pandemic.

China’s Mao Zedong Great Leap Forward: Led to the deaths of up to 50 million people

The fact that, as revealed by insurgents within the repressed media outlets in China have made disclosures,  pointing to the fact that the Chinese government ordered laboratories to stop conducting tests, destroy samples and suppress any news relative to this highly infectious virus makes me wonder, what is really behind all this? The fact that some Chinese doctors, who went public with information relative to the pandemic situation, were quickly summoned by the Chinese authorities and reprehended for their thoughts; the fact that many of these doctors have mysteriously died and/or disappeared; the fact that, according to the Wall Street Journal, the Chinese government “let some five million people leave Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemy, without screening”, makes me wonder might not this Coronavirus or COVID-19,  be a manufactured crisis by China?

There is, I know, a school of thought out there who treats my contention as outright ludicrous, preposterous or outrageous – their reasons, mostly associated to mystic, and/or a spiritual belief in the ‘goodness’ of mankind, making the latter as incapable of any genocidal conspiracies, such as one designed to kill millions of people. Well, to this incredulous universe, I say, just look at history, as hundreds of millions have in fact been killed mostly resulting from man’s unending quest for power – go no further than China itself, where the biggest mass murder in the history of the world is attributed to China’s Mao Zedong in China’s Great Leap Forward policy which led to the deaths of up to 50 million people.

So, in defense of my “far-out” contention of this Coronavirus being a manufactured pandemic, let me just state a few of the arguments leading to my assertion. First and foremost, I begin by reminding the disbelievers, that we are dealing with China – a Communist government.  Besides their seemingly capitalist-thriving economy, and despite what many would want you to believe, never forget the fact that Communists and Communist regimes, have no sense of morals whatsoever when it comes to “having it their way” – the end justifies the means, and that includes the disparaging of human life.

China’s Quest for Dominance: Belt and Road Initiative

Before going all-out in discarding my surrealistic inclines, a quick historical review is very much in order here. First, if we go back to the fifties and earlier, China was, if you will, one of the most backward nations in the world. As the largest populated country in the world with approximately 1.4 billion people, the logistics of managing such a large number of human beings was, and still is, in and of itself a political as well as an economic dilemma and nightmare, which only Communists and Communism can deal with in the form of a highly tyrannical regime where government has utmost control of every life.

Back in 1979, some of the brighter minds in China’s authoritarian regime came upon the realization that their traditional agricultural catabolic economy was, in fact, outdated, while at the same time realized the enormous untapped potential available to them [the government] in terms of human resources – a magnanimous working-force, who could, for all intents and purposes, be exploited inasmuch as they [the people] could be put to work and produce all sorts of goods for pennies on the dollar, allowing for the country to competitively enter into the world’s capitalist marketplaces, as well they did, allowing for an elite circle of administrators to enrich themselves beyond belief.

The rest is history. Since that turning point in 1979, China is today running a close second in the race for geopolitical dominance – second only to our United States of America, albeit not very far behind. By 2013, China’s resurgence had them on a strategic path of continued development as evidenced by the Belt and Road Initiative [BRI or B&R], a global development strategy designed and conceived exclusively to gain world dominance involving infrastructure development and investments in 70 countries and international organizations. China’s BRI initiative is, to this day, one of the largest investment projects in the history of mankind. Since 1979, China has been among the world’s fastest-growing economies in the world, with real annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaging 9.5% yearly through 2018 – a pace described by the World Bank as “the fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history.”

Most of China’s growth and expansion has come at the expense of the United States

Most of China’s growth and expansion has come at the expense of the United States, as our unhinged capitalist lure for profits and profitability had us buying most anything and everything we could buy from them at relatively low prices, notwithstanding the fact that most U.S.’s administrations since 1979, especially Barack Obama’s thought China’s enrichment made them a more manageable enemy as otherwise their remaining a stagnated world power.

Our deranged greed did not come without a price. By the time Donald Trump became president in 2016, China had dangerously become the U.S.’s biggest banker,  while China owns almost a fifth of all the U.S. debt owed to foreign nations. The Chinese government uses these dollars to buy U.S. Treasuries. Were China ever to call in its debt holdings, we, the U.S., would be in deep trouble.

To make a long story short, in time, the U.S. became dangerously dependent on China. One of the most troubling areas of dependency is associated to our unprecedented reliance on China for pharmaceuticals,  as most all our active pharmaceutical ingredients, better known as API’s and the basic components for all antibiotics and other prescription drugs consumed by Americans today come from China. Think of what this could mean if there ever was a biological war between our countries. Think of what it would mean to Americans if China were to ever suddenly stopped making antibiotics. Think only of what this would do to us as a nation, making this Coronavirus pale in comparison.

In short friends, there isn’t a question, none whatsoever that, today, China stands as a potential threat to the U.S., in more ways than one. As contended by our president Donald Trump many times, among the most egregious things China has been able to get away with—albeit with the blessings of all the past presidents over the past forty years has been their discernible cloning of our technologies and know-how expertise.

U.S. China Trade War

I very firmly believe that Donald Trump is and has been [the] only U.S. president in history to have recognized the enormous threat that China represents to our nation, let alone the highly unbalanced nature of our bilateral economic ties with them – one where the latter was unequally rewarded by billions of dollars, mostly the result of unfavorable trade practices which had the U.S., in the losing end, paving the way for the start of what many choose to label as Trump’s trade-war.

The COVID-19 or Coronavirus pandemic, ironically comes at a time when Trump’s so-called trade war with China comes at the expense of the latter [China] having to, as they say, “bite the bullet” by taking a large hit on many of the goods and services they were used to providing us with – a serious setback in their path to expanding their global dominance if you will.

While many look upon Trump’s relationship with China’s president Xi Jinping as a cordial one, as indeed it may be, do not kid yourselves into believing this is the start of a honeymoon. It is not. Xi Jinping’s “cordialness” may very well be looked upon by the almighty China’s Communist Party and its leaders as a weak and a potential threat to their status-quo and everything they were hoping for in terms of geopolitical prowess. To many in the world, Trump’s relationship with China may come as a blessing in disguise – to others in China’s Communist Party and otherwise, Trump and his politics are all but “a thorn in the side.”

And, this my friends, is what I believe supports my outlandish proposition as to what might have really propelled this pandemic attack. Let’s face it. This presumed insignificant trade-war, started by President Trump, may in fact be much more significant to them than first meets the eye.  It may, one can readily assume, have had such a significant impact on the future of China, well-worthy to them to start a war with their number one rival and purportedly the cause of all their perils—the United States of America. On that premise, there could also be the realization by China that conventional wars, including but not limited to a nuclear war, might, in fact, be a lot more than they are willing to risk, so why not a peaceful biological war instead—one they knew they had a chance of winning as the enemy was unprepared and, furthermore, even dependent on them in many ways.

Ironically, just in case you did not know or may be unaware of, many experts concur in the fact that, while the Coronavirus pandemic gripping the globe may have had its origins in China, the crisis will leave China in a much stronger position geopolitically relative to the United States.

In summary, as I said at the beginning, I cannot really assert that China was, in fact, responsible for the Coronavirus pandemic. I am, however, asserting that you cannot rule them out as capable of doing it—more so at a time in history when they were abruptly interrupted in their path to world supremacy. Food for thought.

May God save us and may God save the United States of America.

On May Day The Comeback Must Begin


The economy demands to insure the future viability of our nation

Jeff Crouere image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 6, 2020

On May Day The Comeback Must BeginThe world is forever changed with the advent of this pandemic. The casualties may include traditional forms of greetings such as handshakes and hugging as more people embrace the new standard of “social distancing.”

Possibly, large public events will become rare occurrences. Fewer people will shop at retail locations or attend movie theaters, as the rush toward online shopping and entertainment will be accelerated. Popular modes of travel such as cruise ships may find fewer customers in the future as the many coronavirus worries may disturb American life for many years to come.

Massive changes have impacted our economy

Already, massive changes have impacted our economy, inflicting financial damage to almost all Americans and businesses of every size. At the end of February, the United States had the best economy in the world, adding 273,000 jobs with rising wages and an extremely low unemployment rate of only 3.5%. The Trump economy was booming, the stock market was hitting record highs and the American public was confident about the future of the economy. My, how times have changed.

Since that idyllic period, worries about the coronavirus have exploded and the nation’s economy has been essentially shut down, except for certain critical areas. All indicators have moved to negative territory. For example, the stock market is down about 30% from its February all-time high.

On Friday, the March jobs report was released, and it was brutal. Amazingly, it is only a small taste of what will be coming in the months ahead. The U.S. Department of Labor reported that the unemployment rate increased to 4.4% and 701,000 jobs were lost. This was the first report in 113 months to show a loss of jobs in the country.

Not surprisingly, the leisure and hospitality industries were hit the hardest with a loss of 459,000 jobs. Almost all job sectors, including manufacturing and retail, were negatively impacted by the nation’s response to the spread of the coronavirus.

Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come as some analysts expect an economic decline of 34% annually in the second quarter. There could be a loss of 20 million jobs by the end of April, with the unemployment rate soaring to 15%. This would erase all the job gains over the previous decade.

Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu, Swine Flu

According to economists at the Federal Reserve’s St. Louis district, the unemployment rate will eventually reach over 30%, eclipsing the record 24.9% unemployment rate in 1933, during the Great Depression.

Surely, the coronavirus is deadly. Some estimates show that between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans will die as a result of the disease. However, our nation has faced similar pandemics in the past and the response has been far less draconian.

In 1957, the “Asian” flu swept across the world killing 1.1 million people, including 116,000 Americans. In 1968, the “Hong Kong” flu killed 1 million people worldwide, including approximately 100,000 Americans. In 2009-2010, the “Swine” flu infected over 60 million Americans and approximately 12,500 were killed.

During none of these previous pandemics did the nation shut down the economy or take drastic steps of social distancing. The sport leagues were not cancelled, businesses remained open and Americans continued with their daily routines. Sadly, thousands of people died during these pandemics, but the country allowed businesses to continue operations. Thus, the country did not suffer from related social costs that will be associated with our response to the coronavirus.

Certainly, national guidelines and “stay at home” orders will lessen the number of coronavirus victims, but evidence will likely show an increase in domestic violence cases and suicides. As Americans lose their jobs and see their savings shrink, the strain on mental health will be severe. Those already suffering from mental illness will be heavily impacted and there will be more people in acute need of medication to cope with the disaster.

Media keep their focus on the depressing stories because they know Trump is vulnerable with a stalled economy

It does not help to have the mainstream news outlets and social media spending each hour of the day promoting fears about the coronavirus. It seems the focus of the reporting is to literally scare the living daylights out of Americans by constantly harping on the number of infected and dead people. This type of fearmongering increases ratings and serves to focus on negative statistics that can be used against their number one enemy, President Donald Trump.

While the President tries to emphasize positive news, the media keep their focus on the depressing stories because they know Trump is vulnerable with a stalled economy.  If the President’s poll numbers decrease, the media accomplish one of their cherished goals.

Because of the damage it inflicts, it would be wise for Americans to avoid becoming saturated in the “doom and gloom” coronavirus news. Instead, they should spend plenty of time each day exercising, communicating with friends and family and trying to focus on worthwhile endeavors such as learning a new skill.

While individual Americans need to avoid feelings of depression, our country must avoid falling into another Great Depression. If the national guidelines continue past the end of April, the impact will be incredibly severe and may be irreparable.

The President should declare that on May Day, at least parts of the nation will be reopened for business. This may not be what the health experts recommend, but it is what the economy demands to insure the future viability of our nation.

On Palm Sunday Christians Not Just Staying At Home——But PRAYING At Home


No Pope, no closed churches, no braying donkeys, not even a pandemic can ever change what Palm Sunday and Holy Week lead to. Easter Sunday and its forever message: “He is risen!”

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 5, 2020

On Palm Sunday Christians Not Just Staying At Home——But PRAYING At HomeSomething ravenous world globalists can never change:  Palm Sunday 2020 with people the world over not just staying at home, but PRAYING at home.

Tragically true: For the first time in history, all churches will remain closed during Holy Week.

Holy Week 2020 begins with Pope Francis—who apparently no longer lays claim to being Vicar of Christ—celebrating Palm Sunday Mass in an empty Vatican church:

It’s Palm Sunday in ‘The Time of Coronavirus’ and donkeys are renting the air with loud braying

“In the latest Vatican yearbook, the Annuario Pontificio, the title “Vicar of Christ” does not appear on the listing for Pope Francis.(Catholic Culture, April 3, 2020)

“In the 2020 edition of the Annuario, the page devoted to Pope Francis is headed simply by his name: Jorge Maria Bergoglio.

“ Past editions have always been headed by the titles accorded to the Pope, beginning with “Vicar of Jesus Christ.” Other titles have been “Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman province, Sovereign of the Vatican City-State.” In the 2020 edition, these titles appear at the bottom of the page devoted to Pope Francis, identified only as “historical” titles.

“Such a change would undoubtedly have required the approval of the Pontiff.”

It’s Palm Sunday in ‘The Time of Coronavirus’ and donkeys are renting the air with loud braying.

The braying of globalist donkeys defiantly attempts to celebrate the cancellation of something impossible to cancel: Easter Sunday.

ALL THINGS ARE PASSING

When COVID-19 passes—and it will, because ALL THINGS ARE PASSING—untold legions of Christians and their undying belief in the Almighty,  will still be there.

Someday in the distant future historians will write that the year 2020 was the one when ‘Easter Came Home’.

Brick and mortar churches,  reassuring as they have been, are not the only places to pray during Holy Week.

But braying donkeys will never see that the human soul all were born with is far more enduring than anything constructed of mere brick and mortar.

Amidst the celebratory braying of the globalist donkeys, untold millions of Christians worldwide, are thinking today of the Savior who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, preparing for His death in less than a week.

Even the Fake News of our day cannot touch, in any way,  the true story of the first Palm Sunday that happened almost 2,000 years ago, or the many Palm Sundays that made it through many pandemics in all the years that followed:

“On the Sunday morning after the dinner party given for Jesus in Bethany, He entered the Holy City of Jerusalem in a distinctly unique way.  (From: “Fr. Victor Brown’s Catholic Daily Message.”)

“First, he sent some of his apostles to borrow a donkey from an acquaintance.  This probably struck them as odd.  They had gone into Jerusalem many time before, always on foot.  Why the donkey now?

“But even before getting into the city, they had to cross the brow of the Mount of Olives, a hill to the east of the city, to contemplate the beautiful view of the Holy City, gleaming in the morning sunshine of a fine spring day.  They were Jews; this was their capital city.  But more than that, this was their HOLY city where God dwelt with His people.  The temple stood there in its glory, proclaiming to the whole world the sovereignty of the Jewish God Yahweh.

“They paused there to contemplate the scene; it made them proud and happy.  All but Jesus, that is.  He wept and said, “Oh, Jerusalem, if only you had realized your opportunity!  I would have gathered you to myself as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you rejected me.  And therefore, you will be destroyed, with not one stone left upon another.”

“Having said this, he went flip-flopping down the steep Mount of Olives, across Kidron brook, which was probably dry and up into the city.  Then something unusual happened.  People gave Jesus a royal welcome, probably because he had recently raised Lazarus from the dead.

“They stripped branches from the trees and put them in His path.  They even laid articles of clothing along the road, in their simple attempt at a red-carpet treatment.

“And they shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David,” That would be equivalent to their saying “Hooray for the promised Savior.”

 “And then, “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.”  When His enemies heard the shouting, they said to Him, “You hear what they are shouting?  Make them stop.”  That is, make them stop using Messianic titles in reference to you.  Jesus answered very powerfully: if they were to stop, the very stones would cry out.  When Christ enters Jerusalem to die there for the salvation of the world, He must be acclaimed and welcomed, even by stones, if human voices will not acclaim Him.

“The reason why Jesus chose to enter the city on a donkey was to fulfil the prophecy of Zecariah who foretold that the Savior would come riding upon a donkey, the symbol of humility because poor people used donkeys, and the symbol of peace, since donkeys are no good in battle, being as slow, small, and unresponsive to human command as they are.  So the Savior—poor, humble, and a man of peace, comes to this Holy City, accepts the Messianic titles of the Crowds and prepares for His death in less than a week.  The people gave Our Lord the red-carpet treatment by strewing branches of trees and even articles of their clothing in the streets before Him.  And so do we celebrate Palm Sunday by way of welcoming our Savior into our lives, coming as He is to accomplish our salvation.

“Thank you for seeking God’s truth.  God bless you. Father Victor Brown, O.P.

“Note:  Father Brown composed this message some years ago. Please pray for the souls of the faithful departed, including Father Brown”.

No Pope, no closed churches, no braying donkeys, not even a pandemic can ever change what Palm Sunday and Holy Week lead to.  Easter Sunday and its forever message: “He is risen!”

Sunday Talks – Steve Bannon Discusses His Thoughts to “Crush” Coronavirus…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on April 5, 2020 by 

Former White House advisor Steve Bannon appears on Fox News to discuss his thoughts on how to mitigate and eliminate Coronavirus from the United States.

Among Comrade Bannon’s proposals:  Shut down all inbound international air travel. Shut down all domestic air travel. Forced federal shut down all ports of entry, allowing only commerce. Initiate forced quarantine zones around major metropolitian areas keeping people from leaving.  A forced shut-down all vehicle travel on interstates, except supply chain transports. A federally enforced closing of states to cross border traffic. WATCH:

Yikes.  Civil liberties? Meh, details… details.

I’m just sharing information….

Steve Bannon was, perhaps still is, well regarded by many people; and formerly held a position of influence in the White House.

I cannot even fathom the totalitarian nature of what Bannon is suggesting.

What America would even re-emerge from that type of action?

The Red Chinese Lied, Americans Died, and Americans Prayed


Many Americans are praying now more than ever. They are praying for their president

Cliff Kincaid image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 4, 2020

The Red Chinese Lied, Americans Died, and Americans Prayed

When FDR waged World War II, he could mobilize the entire country. President Trump faces an assortment of enemies, here and abroad. These include China, source of the virus; Russia, which is driving American oil producers out of business through overproduction of cheap oil; a toxic anti-American media culture; and a Democratic Party that wants to undermine Trump through investigations and make him (and the country) fail.

Another factor is that FDR could mobilize American industrial power. We are now learning that much of that power was outsourced to China. It is sad and tragic that the once-great United States made decisions over the course of the last 40 years that facilitated the build-up of China into an industrial and economic superpower. Henry Kissinger began the policy of appeasing China and it was implemented through its ascension to the World Trade Organization. China became a Frankenstein monster devouring the world.

China virus was revenge for Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods

Coming into office, Trump recognized this problem and sought through various policies to rectify the situation. As I see it, the China virus was revenge for Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods. Otherwise, China and its handmaidens in the World Health Organization would have quickly alerted the world to the nature of this beast. They lied and Americans died.

Although opinions differ, the consensus of the various medical experts is that this is a highly contagious disease, with symptoms in severe cases much worse than the flu, lung damage worse than the flu, and a death rate overall that may be much worse than seasonal flu.

President Trump had no alternative but to defer to these authorities. But he has to suspect, based on its contagious and deadly nature, that the virus may have been engineered. China has a bioweapons program that has been documented by such authorities as former Soviet scientist Ken Alibek and analyst Eric Croddy. Nobody with a serious mind assumes it was just a coincidence that the virus came out of a region with a Chinese lab conducting secret research.

Our enemies seem to have us where they want us – our people are dying and the economy is collapsing. China is betting that it will come out on top of the world. Then, the old Sino/Soviet split will be exposed as another great deception. Russia will dominate the oil markets and have Europe under its control.

In the middle of all of this, President Trump is attempting to rally the nation. He is stuck with a medical bureaucracy that relied on China for misinformation about the virus and a media that plays gotcha at daily press briefings. He understands the gravity of the situation but is obviously limited by what he can say publicly about the threat. As I argued in a recent column, the invisible enemy has a name.

Difficult path of safeguarding America’s survival

To his credit, Trump has broken with the “experts” to facilitate public access to various alternative drugs and treatments. This could be the development that helps America turn the corner in the weeks ahead.

While FDR could rally the nation into war production for the United States military, which was deployed abroad, today’s threat is so great that the military is being diverted into domestic uses and purposes. America’s military and National Guard are building hospitals and taking care of patients. Meanwhile, Navy ships are being infected with the virus and the Pentagon is warning that the spread of the virus could affect U.S. military readiness and our ability to deter our enemies from further strikes.

This is yet another problem that Trump has to take into account as he navigates the difficult path of safeguarding America’s survival.

At the same time, the globalists opposed to his election and candidacy are continuing the drumbeat of opposing the only way—through America-first policies – that we have of escaping the morass we found ourselves in.

Consider that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs has published another anti-Trump article, “‘America First’ Is a Dangerous Fantasy in a Pandemic: Foreign Aid and Global Leadership Will Be Integral to Any Solution,” which endorses the same mistakes that got us into this mess in the first place. The article is by former Obama official Philip H. Gordon.

 

China is directly implicated in the genocide

The use of a CFR publication to attack Trump is not unexpected. This is the organization that boasted Soviet spy Alger Hiss, a founder of the United Nations, as a prominent member.

This article ignores China’s lies, as well as the fact that the World Health Organization told the world on January 14 that the virus could not be transmitted between people. On January 21, relying on Chinese and WHO’s data, Dr. Anthony Fauci told TV host Greg Kelly that “this is not a major threat for the people of the United States. And this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.” Dr. Deborah Birx admits China gave the U.S. “incomplete data” about the virus. That’s a polite way of saying the Red Chinese lied so Americans died.

In the face of this mass murder, socialist U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres demands a “global cease fire,” adding, “The virus does not care about nationality or ethnicity, faction or faith. It attacks all, relentlessly.” But China is directly implicated in the genocide.

Former Obama officials are ignoring the role of China in this worldwide meltdown for an obvious reason: Barack Hussein Obama was an acolyte of global Marxism and actually met with Chinese dictator Xi in November 2017 during a meeting described by the British Guardian as a chat between two “veteran cadres.” They were “all smiles.”

A Russian media organ took note as well, saying the term “veteran cadres” is “generally used to refer to retired Chinese Communist Party officials.” It was a tip-off that Obama was serving the communist cause all the time he was serving as president of the United States.

It’s the case we were making in our three books on Obama, including Red Star Rising: The Making of Barack Hussein Obama and the Transformation of America.

Trump is facing a difficult fight that is made worse by the actions of publicity-seeking governors who complain about delivery of supplies while closing churches and keeping abortion clinics, liquor stores, and pot shops open.

The only thing worse is the conduct of certain reporters at the daily press briefings, as they attempt to bring down a president trying hard to save lives.

Whatever executive orders may remain in place, the people of the various states are not going to wait long to return in numbers to the closed churches, even risking their lives in a desperate attempt to appeal to God to save their nation. Many Americans are praying now more than ever. They are praying for their president.

COVID-19: A Portrait of Power


Politicians, COVID-19, Media: Who controls the real power in society?

Mark Gray image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—April 4, 2020

COVID-19: A Portrait of PowerThere is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world and we likely won’t be going back to the way things were once we’re through the crisis.

Non-essential businesses have closed, or been forced to close, imperilling the economic health of the businesses and their employees. Usually busy streets are empty. Travellers and people showing any cold or flu like symptoms are expected to self-isolate and stay indoors for weeks, thereby reaping all the health benefits of stir-crazy. Masks have become the latest fashion trend and it’s surprising there aren’t more with pretty patterns. It’s now a sign of virtue to practice social distancing by respecting the magic six-foot rule.

COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world and we likely won’t be going back to the way things were once we’re through the crisis.

Non-essential businesses have closed, or been forced to close, imperilling the economic health of the businesses and their employees. Usually busy streets are empty. Travellers and people showing any cold or flu like symptoms are expected to self-isolate and stay indoors for weeks, thereby reaping all the health benefits of stir-crazy. Masks have become the latest fashion trend and it’s surprising there aren’t more with pretty patterns. It’s now a sign of virtue to practice social distancing by respecting the magic six-foot rule.

Some big stores are managing customer traffic with lineups, both outside to get in and inside for access to the coolers. To ensure our safety, we’re aided by lines taped onto the floor, helpfully marking the appropriate social distance guidelines. Of course, people headed elsewhere can walk closely past the stacked shopper’s margin of safety, which logic says needs to be a circle with a six-foot radius and a time delay so any deadly airborne virus perishes before you’re commanded to move into it.  But hey, stay behind that line and stay safe!

Yes, yes, COVID-19 is highly contagious and it’s prudent to take preventative measures, just as it always has been with the flu and colds, but we don’t shut down the planet for those maladies. So, is this strain of coronavirus so deadly, its mortality rate so high, that we need to destroy the world economy to save it?

 

Who Controls The Power Of Fear?

Fear is obviously a great motivator, but who wields the power of fear, and is it being used as a weapon rather than a warning? What or who is responsible for the extraordinary level of fear that’s panicked society to the point where we’ve completely upended our way of life, and at costs yet not known?

The top three “Power of Fear” contenders in the COVID-19 panic-demic are politicians, COVID-19, and the media. Let’s review their qualifications.

Politicians

Did fear spread because politicians stood and sounded the alarm? Well, no. Fear came first, essentially “forcing” politicians to do something, and act they did. Our world has been shut down while government spending has skyrocketed. The caring need to protect us from the ravages of COVID-19 demand the exorbitant spending, expected social distancing, enforced self-isolation and the shuttering of non-essential businesses. Societal safety is paramount, after all, and we’ll just have to happily, or sheepishly, accept the resulting chaos, costs, and consequences regardless of their effect on our lives. Any price will be paid—but our political leaders are following the fear, not leading it.

COVID-19

How about the coronavirus, is COVID-19 to blame for the unbelievable fear sweeping the planet that is driving immense social change? The short answer is no, not really. Would we truly be in such a terrified panic without being constantly reminded of its murderous potential? Only if it truly did kill in excessive numbers.

As the world deals with this crisis, the more robust our understanding of COVID-19’s transmission and mortality rates. Our body of knowledge regarding treatments such as Hydroxychloroquine continues to expand and faster, more accurate tests are being administered to help gauge its spread. In addition, private industry has stepped up to either transport equipment or retool facilities to manufacture some.

Rush Limbaugh recently provided some much-needed perspective for his listeners by sharing information compiled by worldometers. (check their credibility claims at the link)

These numbers reflect worldwide causes of death between January 1st through March 25th,2020.

Cause of Death Number of Deaths
Coronavirus 21,000
Seasonal Flu 113,000
Malaria 228,000
Suicide 249,000
Traffic fatalities 313,000
HIV/AIDS 391,000
Alcohol related 581,000
Smoking related 1,162,000
Cancer 1,909,000
Starvation 2,382,000
Abortion 9,900,000

This isn’t to say we should ignore the threat of coronavirus, but it does suggest that our collective fear is way out of proportion to the immediate threat.

Dr. Stephen Smith, founder of The Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health, told Laura Ingraham in a Fox news interview that none of the 72 patients he treated with a regimen of hydroxychloroquine and azxithromycin for five days or more need intubation.  These numbers are so exceedingly positive that Dr. Smith believes “this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic”.

Moreover, it’s understood that those who have survived the disease are no longer at risk of catching or spreading it. Plus, society will automatically become less fearful as news of treatment success grows, additional medications are tested, and vaccines are developed.

As fear subsides, calls to end the shutdown are certain to follow, and quickly, because society doesn’t perform well while mired in fear and isolation.

As neither politicians nor COVID-19 itself hold the “Power Of Fear”, the championship title goes to the media, and as they hold the power, they are entirely responsible for the frightening level of panic that has pushed people to beg for political salvation. The media wields incredible power to move society and isn’t afraid to use it, which is why we need them to be honest and accurate.

What Can Be Determined Right Now?

The media is the root cause of our panic and subsequent economic shutdown. Several conclusions can be immediately drawn without regard to media motivation.

  1. The media is instrumental in setting the direction of the country.
  2. The media hyped, and continue to hype, the most terrifying model numbers.
  3. Societal fear was generated by the reporting of modelled, or predicted, death counts. Now, actual death counts are continuously reported to keep the fear pump primed.
  4. The similarity to the Global Warming crisis is unmistakable, as the media pushed the worst predictions of “what if” modelling claims, many which have already been proven false, such as the loss of ice in Canada’s Northwest Passage.
  5. The media have continually downplayed the possible effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine treatments which indicates a desire to keep fear levels elevated.
  6. The consequences from the economic shutdown are real and are causing severe distress to businesses and individuals. Economic devastation from the shutdown was inevitable, and predictable. Again, the similarity between the impact to Alberta of the government’s war on “global warming” to the impact to all of Canada (and the US) in the war on coronavirus is evident and extremely relevant.
  7. The detrimental effect on society and the devastating economic stress caused by the over-hyped panic is a direct indicator of the media’s true level of concern for the people.

This last point cannot be overstated. The media insist on pushing the most severe numbers in both the Climate and COVID-19 stories knowing full well that the economic consequences to citizens will be dire. They don’t do it just because they can, hopefully. Regardless of the reason, it must be more important to them than any harm that comes from it. This makes it imperative to ask yourself why their scripted narrative takes precedence over your actual well being.

Furthermore, do you know who doesn’t lose their job due to these government imposed economic shutdowns? That’s right, the media.

 

What Comes Next?

There is no longer any doubt about the media’s strength and ability to drive society in whatever direction they desire. The country’s shutdown is a testament to the immensity of their power. We’re looking at real, unadulterated, and considering their actions, abusive power.

When the crisis ends, as it must, we will have a much better idea as to transmission rates, mortality rates, cure rates and economic cost. If the media is proven to have overhyped the threat, then the consequences are on them and no one else. It also proves that we trust the untrustworthy at great peril.

Friends don’t cause friends ruinous economic harm as the media has done to us with respect to both global warming and COVID-19 unless the data is overwhelmingly certain and the consequences obviously grim. Fake news has real, and often devastating, consequences so when an agenda other than accuracy and truth is at play, it is the equivalent of false advertising. Just like any other business lying to the public, the media should face accountability for their disrespectful betrayal of consumer trust.

When the media “guide” beliefs without regard to truth then the most important thing we can do for ourselves and our fellow citizens is to reject those deceitful sources. Totally, completely, and immediately because they are wholly unworthy of your mind and a danger to us all.

One great thing about the internet is the ability to bypass filtered news and go directly to the source, such as President Trump’s twitter feed which allows him to speak directly to the people

Getting his message out in his own words has been instrumental in his political success because his comments aren’t being interpreted, manipulated, or mischaracterized by those who hate him before being deceitfully presented to the public.

If they lie, say goodbye. For the children.

Unprecedented Power Grab


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease

Re-Posted Apr 5, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

We are living not just in interesting times, we are living in UNPRECEDENTED TIMES, which has raised the stakes profoundly toward civil war. You may have been laid off, struggling and hoping your employer will not fold, or you may be working from home and wondering if your employee will not cut cuts and leave you there eliminating offices. Then there is the home confinement which depends on whether or not you live in a Democratic state where they want 1090% lockdown, fines, and/or imprisonment if you walk outside while telling neighbors to report on you as if this were East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Then there is the confinement with the family which many find stressful while schools are closed along with day-care-centers and caring for children 100%. The Republican States seems to be following generally just the social-distancing and allowing stores and restaurants to be open following guidelines of limiting the number of customers. Others find their families split forced to facetime, skype, or zoom as elderly relatives are trapped away from loved ones. Then there are those who know someone with COVID-19 or have found their parents go into a hospital for one thing expecting them to die and then they suddenly change the cause of death of COVID-19 out of the clear blue sky causing many to question what is really going on.

While we are all in prison since home confinement if a punishment inflicted by courts, we face the most amazing power grabs in all recorded history thanks to socialism which authorizes the government to pretend to “care” for our well being as long it is profitable. This is one of the greatest rearrangements of power in modern history unfolding before our eyes—and governments are counting of scaring-the-hell out of people to ensure we’re too overwhelmed to do anything about it.

Since January, elites sold their entire stock and bond portfolios and went to cash. I know 100% that they were even tipped off to do so without necessarily outlining the objectives just stating there was this virus. Over the past weeks, governments have used this virus to expand their powers in unprecedented ways all in an amazing effort to save us from certain doom. In Thailand, the government seized the power to censor the media. In South Korea, we find officials began using people’s cellphone, credit-card, and GPS records to track patients with Covid-19 in real-time, all to ensure they would know everyone’s contacts. Taiwan is tracking people under home quarantine in real-time. Other governments are using cellphone location data to monitor people’s movements. Taiwan has total, some 55,000 people are being kept at home through a “digital fence.” Meanwhile, Christine Legarde is pushing hard for the cancellation of the paper currency and move to digital. As head of the IMF, she personally threatened all the tax havens to given everyone up and even threatened the Vatican to remove it from the world monetary system unless they reveal all transfers.

Even in the land of the free and the home of the brave, the US Justice Department asked lawmakers for the power to request that defendants be detained indefinitely without trial during emergencies. Anthony Fauci was asked by host Anderson Cooper on CNN in an effort to undermine Trump: “Knowing the science, does it make sense to you that some states are still not issuing stay-at-home orders? I mean, whether there should be a federally mandated directive for that or not, I guess that’s more of a political question, but just scientifically, doesn’t everybody have to be on the same page with this stuff?”

In 2020, Fauci deliberately misleads Congress showing his dishonesty with the statistics. He compares the Coronavirus to the Flu claiming it is 10x more lethal because the death rate with the flue is only 0.1%. What fails to point out that this number is based on 38 to 54 million people with the flu. He was comparing those hospitalized with Coronavirus at 3% down to 2% whereas those hospitalized with the flu has a mortality rate of 6%. He gas deliberately played with the numbers to create this crisis which was predetermined would be used to enforce political change.

What is going on is VERY Dangerous. Fauci is bought and paid for and should be investigated. Bill Gates donated $100 million to Fauci’s NIH and $13.5 million to CDRC. It was Bill Gates on February 28th who was already calling this a major pandemic ahead of everyone. I bet you will find he also sold all his stocks and bonds in league with those in Europe. The number of deaths is less than 10% of those caused annually by the flu. This does not add up to warrant the destruction of the economy which he is advocating. Fauci even opposed using the Malaria drug which doctors in the field have found to prevent deaths. He wanted a year of study before trying it while always supporting Bill Gates with his vaccine. Of course, Bill Gates said that his vaccine would first go to those only in the medical field, which probably included himself. It appears he intentionally wanted more people to die to help this cause. Gates was behind climate change and now a major donator and proponent of using a disease to achieve the same goals he advocated for Climate Change.

In 2017, Fauci was already saying that the Trump administration would face a “surprise” pandemic. This supported the entire Climate Change which Gates was also behind with his dire C02 forecasts that we hade to reduced the population. In a fake petition of 11,000 purported scientists who signed this claim that girls must stop having children was exposed to have among its signers, Mickey Mouse of the Institute for the Blind.

This was the same recommendation of Gates – reduce the population. Even Bill Gates’ push to put microchips in us all is really puzzling as to has all his money simply gone to his head? This whole ID2020 movement is just beyond belief. It has been Bill Gates calling for 10 more weeks of lockdown! Bill Gates resigned both from Microsoft and Warren Buffet’s boards. It is curious that he has helped to create probably an $80 billion loss for Buffett for his solutions will destroy both as the world economy implodes. Microsoft was worth $1.435 trillion on February 10th, and $1.115 trillion on March 23rd. Bill Gates helped to cause a $320 billion loss there. You can imaging with a $400 billion loss on the two companies where he was a board member, he would not be very popular. We will have to wait for his next SEC filing to see what he sold since his last filing as of February 14, 2020, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If he sold all or a major part of his 50 million shares in Berkshire after February 14th, 2020, he should be investigated.

Then the Democrats have in one voice blamed every death of Trump and have used this to divide and conquer the people. Impeachment lost, Russiagate lost, they needed something that was more direct and a threat of IMMEDIATE death so they have manufactured COVID-19 into the next Black Death. They then have been using this to introduce a digital currency to eliminate cash and have introduced legislation to take away guns (H.R.5717 – Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020). They want to make sure people cannot fight back against subjugation which is coming to every community near you. The onslaught against Trump is so intense, they are trying to stuff every bill possible with anti-democratic legislation.

Using this virus as the excuse for emergency powers that are outright tyrannical is just astonishing. They claim that a state of emergency is justified if the threat is public, universal, and existential, and therefore they justify extraordinary powers to save the people by removing all liberty. They have intentionally destroyed the economy knowing full well that a huge proportion of small businesses will be forever lost. They seek to ensure that the people will be dependent upon the government and accept subjugation as was the case with the Communist Revolutions.

There is absolutely NO HISTORICAL evidence that once powers are seized in peacetime they are ever relinquished without revolution. States have NEVER given back powers of this magnitude for all we need to look at is the 9/11 terrorist attacks. TSA and money-laundering regulations reduced the $10,000 to $3,000 if you try to wire money to an individual. You can no longer hop on a plane with more than $10,000 in cash even on domestic flights. Whatever personal liberties we believed we once had are surrendered during an emergency and what has been done here with lockdown is now precedent for the future.

There is absolutely no evidence that this virus poses such a monumental threat that it warrants the shutting down of the economy and the surrender of all our liberties. The annual flu kills 10x more than this virus, but the media is so on board with this plot against the people the TRUTH is also a casualty of this virus. Why do journalists hate us so much? They were supposed to defend us but they are just playing for a seat at the table throwing scraps to the people and enjoying their power. They fail to even understand the world they are advocating for their own children.

 

It is becoming painfully obvious that we are facing an unprecedented battle for our liberty. Google is aiding the Democrats allowing them to use the virus to scare the hell out of the people in this desperate attempt to lead the uninformed to blame Trump for everything so they can seize the country and raise taxes back to 70-90%. People have asked WHY Socrates has forecast that China will become the Financial Capital of the World? If you cannot see what is happening, just go back to NETFLIX and enjoy the confinement.

Trump has been trying desperately to fight back, but the Fake News is so intent upon overthrowing our way of life it is not a battle easily won. As a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY, he should immediately restore the FCC rule of the Fairness Doctrine and extend it to the print media and to social media such as Facebook, Apple, and of course Google. If he does NOT do this, all our freedoms are in danger of extinction.

AT&T is the ultimate owner of CNN. Everyone should write to the chairman of AT&T Randall Lynn Stephenson to defend your liberty and one should question was he one of the elites who sold everything in January as many did after that January 2020 meeting in Switzerland?

This has been an unprecedented power grab and our future will never be the same. Crime will rise SUBSTANTIALLY and the threat to life and property will be far worse than any virus. They know this, and then Phase II will be emergency power to restore the order that they destroyed.

Everyone should write to their respective Republican Representative and demand an investigation into this sordid group pf characters. This is our future and the Democrats are simply on board to overthrow Trump and may NOT even be aware of the larger agenda. Unfortunately, they will never investigate if it is against their personal interests in the 2020 election.

How Taxes Will Make COVID-19 Vanish


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes

Re-Posted Apr 5, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:  Is there a tax that I can pay to stop Covid-19, or does that only work for climate change ?
🙂

KL

REPLY: No worries. They got that covered. Cash is dirty now. If you touch it you will die. I am sure they are working on a virus that flourishes with gold or silver soon. So once they outlaw cryptocurrencies, then they will have everyone’s wealth in banks and can tax you whatever they desire. Then COVID-19 will magically vanish. So ultimately your taxes will do the trick.
