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

Europe & The Virus – An Economic Disaster


There is a clear risk that the EU could break up when the very foundation was intended to provide free movement and move more in the direction of the United States of Europe. The free movement has come to an end, and even Merkel has warned that social distancing has come to stay in Europe for a long time.

In Portugal, Prime Minister António Costa has warned that normality will not return until a vaccine is available to the general public following Bill Gates. This is despite the fact that even the American CDC bluntly states that vaccines for the flu have been at best 60% effective and sometimes only 19% effective. Prime Minister Costa said May and June should be “months of transition towards a gradual de-escalation, with the conscience that de-escalation does not mean, for a long time, returning to normality.” It is very curious as to why this policy has claimed that vaccines will cure the disease when they will not.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also said that the return to normality “will be slow and gradual, because it has to be secure.” He has previously warned that only a vaccine would provide a path back to normality.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has also said that strict social distancing measures will remain in place and the borders closed until May 11th and that there would be no swift return to normality. “We will eventually prevail but we will have several months to live with the virus.” Macron has warned that the European Union faces a “moment of truth” as it tackles the devastating economic fallout from the crisis. Clearly, Macron has been playing a game of poker to try to force the Netherlands and Germany to abandoned fiscal conservatism and adopt the unlimited printing of money. With the huge anti-government protests of the Yellow Vests, Macron has been using the virus to suppress protests and has been demanding that Apple allow his app to track where people meet. This is not for the virus but to undermine the Yellow Vest movement.

In Italy, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte addressed parliament saying: “We have to maintain and respect, on all levels, the measures of social distancing and promote the general use of individual protective equipment until there are vaccines and treatments available.”

There is clearly the intention to use this virus for structural changes in Europe to eliminate austerity. By keeping people locked down, they know they are destroying the economy, but they hope to forge a generalized Europe that will simply print money to keep the European dream alive.

Now both Germany and Sweden are informing citizens not to take normal summer holidays due to the coronavirus crisis. That will wipe out the tourism industry in Southern Europe. There will still be a serious question about intercontinental travel between Europe and America. This warns that Americans might also refrain from visiting their #1 destination – Italy.

Social Distancing & the Propaganda


What I find terribly disturbing is how everyone seems to be in on the propaganda assuming that all people are just stupid. Here were have Stanford University stating that the entire reason and the benefits of “flattening the curve” were to stay below a fixed healthcare capacity! Yet hospitals are empty. I personally drove to one to look near my house and there was nobody there. This [propaganda that we had to destroy the world economy all because the “peak of the epidemic so that healthcare capacity can be expanded to support patients” is total nonsense. First of all, the definition of an “epidemic” is when more than 7.7% of the population is sick.

“We don’t want to squash a flea with a sledgehammer and bring the house down,” says Auckland University epidemiologist Dr. Simon Thornley, has come out as many doctors are now criticizing this entire debacle. He said: “Lockdown was appropriate when there was so little data…but the data is now clear, this is not the disaster we feared and prepared for. Elimination of this virus is likely not achievable and is not necessary,” Thornley says.

These people justifying the destruction of people’s livelihoods and creating food lines because they can no longer feed their families taking society back to the days of the Great Depression is absolutely criminal. What are they doing? Are they this cold-hearted that they only care about their own narrative? In Florida, three times as many people die in car accidents each year than have died of this coronavirus. New Jersey figures have shown the 40% of the death takes place in nursing homes.

Social Distancing – The Destroyer of Civilization?


Social distancing has been a form of psychological warfare that is as old as strategies for war — divide and conquer. Preventing people from commingling may yet prove to be the opposite of the great New York City Blackout of 1977 when electricity was turned off, affecting most of New York City on July 13–14, 1977. They said more babies were conceived because of that event when even the stock market shut down on Thursday, July 14. But the advent of social distancing has had the side benefit of suppressing large gatherings of protests that dominated the headlines in Hong Kong and in France with the Yellow Vest Movement which was starting to appear around the world even in Canada. Many are starting to question if the rapid embrace of this lockdown in the West did not have an ulterior motive — suppressing discontent added to by Facebook blocking any posts about gathering for protests. The tourism industry is dead for this year. Spanish hotels are already questioning will tourists ever return. The convention business may also be dead. Will they even hold the political conventions this summer?

The world is changing faster than ever. The lockdown and social distancing will alter society profoundly. Even things such as the ability to find a potential partner in dating have instantaneously transformed from meeting someone at a nightclub, introduction by a friend at a party, to conversations over the internet. First dates are becoming virtual out of sheer boredom. Video dating on many of the different platforms has now become perhaps the only way to meet someone, but you no longer have to buy them a fancy dinner. The big common joke was that the way to Make America Great Again was to buy a gun (made in America), drink local beer, and support single moms dancing for a living (stimulating the local economy). Obviously, that was a bit of an exaggeration. Nevertheless, dancers, waitresses, hairdressers, real estate agents, and retail sales staff are all out of work with no entitlement to unemployment whatsoever.

Social Distancing will destroy the nightclubs even the local pub/bar as in Cheers. We have Bill Gates funding studies to support trying to discredit the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine only Trump said to use it. My cousin who is 67 and overweight was rushed to the hospital with COVID-19 he caught from his wife who was a nurse. It was in the hospital for 2 days and they administered this drug and he was sent home. Just because Trump recommended it against Gates’ vaccine, it must be discredited.

There is a serious assault on the very foundation of our civilization and this has been destroying also the food supply. Farmers are collapsing and this too is fulfilling our computer forecast that prices would rise due to SHORTAGES, not speculative demand. The destruction of bars and restaurants no less shopping malls is being carried out for political objectives. The Washington Post goes out of its way to find any youth who has died to justify keeping Americans locked down until they can defeat Trump. A parody on CNN that it has moved its entire operation underground in a vault because Trump said sunlight is good so they must always take the opposite position vowing not to come back to the surface until he is defeated.

Politics has become all-consuming to these people that they are willing to destroy the entire economy just to win no matter how many people they hurt. The death toll is just a tiny fraction of their predictions and they argue we must stay locked down until after the elections to give them time to defeat Trump.

All eyes should remain focused on Wuhan, China. Regardless of our ethnic background, we are all still the same. Consequently, how the people of Wuhan react after their long lockdown is a leading indicator of what the future holds here. As Wuhan has reopened after more than 10 weeks of a significant economic forced collapse, the recovery must be watched worldwide very closely. Opinions offered by politicians about opening or keeping everyone locked down are just opinions. We need hard evidence to move forward, not more speculation by the CDC, NIH, or especially the WHO — none of which I would listen to for more than 30 seconds. They have no regard for the economic suffering people have undergone or the danger of food shortages and starvation that will kill far more than this virus.

There will be valuable lessons on how populations respond to this reaction of such a staggering economic magnitude never before witnessed in human society. In Wuhan, sickness and death have touched hundreds of thousands of lives. The lockdown has exaggerated the event, imprinting on their minds a mental trauma that could linger for decades. Businesses, even those that have reopened, face a wrenching road ahead and many restaurants have found that the people are not returning as they prefer the safety of their homes. The economic sluggishness is likely to persist at least into 2022. Neighborhood authorities continue to regulate people’s comings and goings in China, with no return to normalcy in sight at any point in time. In the West, we have demands upon Apple and other phone companies to allow tracking of citizens. France, especially, is using this virus to combat the Yellow Vest rebellion by pretending this is about health when it is about suppressing the people.

The Chinese authorities sealed off Wuhan which was a major industrial hub of 11 million people in late January 2020. The question remains: Did China act in a frantic panic attempt to limit the outbreak’s spread or would it have been the same without the lockdown as in Sweden? At the time, many outsiders saw it as an extreme step, one that could be tried only in an authoritarian system like China. Yet the West proved to be just as authoritarian and the people are just as submissive, which illustrates my point — we are all the same. As the epidemic had worsened, governments around the world enacted a variety of authoritarian restrictions on their citizens’ movements and the various health organizations advocated the closure of the world economy without any regard whatsoever for the long-term damage to civilization itself. This has only raised deep concerns when people like Bill Gates have appeared on TV shows around the world advocating that we should all remain locked down until he comes up with a vaccine to save the world. Yet, the CDC itself admits that vaccines are only 60% effective anyway – not 100%.

Upon looking at the details, out of a city of 11 million, there were only 3,869 deaths, and the total number of cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan was only 50,333. Naturally, people in the West claimed that China was underreporting. It also seems likely that the West was overreporting to justify their own prolonged authoritarian lockdown to suppress discontent which was rising before all this took place.

Many of the average people in Wuhan have been terrorized by the worldwide press. Based on our information, many citizens no longer trust moving freely in society. While the broader effort by Chinese officials has been to assure the public that life can return to normal and that authorities have beaten the virus, there remains a doubt. Never before has there ever been such a drastic response to any disease of this nature. The psychological damage to the people may be far worse than anyone imagines.

Consequently, the high-profile re-opening of Wuhan was meant to send a signal that China is getting back to business and work can resume. However, despite these government efforts, people have remained very cautious. In the West, the tape will remain on the floor for social distancing, and even if removed, many people will still keep their distance if China is a leading indicator. Every store today has put up plexiglass, even at the post office. They will remain to remind us that it is not safe to get close to others ever again.

 

The foundation of civilization is constructed on the basic principle that when we all come together, the synergy that emerges is greater than the sum of the individuals. As long as we all benefit, civilization expands. Once corruption enters and we begin to see the divide pitting one group against another, the cycle of civilization turns down. The social distancing is yet another step toward dividing and destabilizing our civilization. The Trump administration has cut off funding for the WHO and threatens it may be permanent. The WHO should be dissolved for it has been compromised with conflicts of interest and its recommendations have been undermining not just the economy but the very foundation of civilization.

Sunday Talks: Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd Deliberately Lie to Viewers While Questioning Dr. Deborah Birx…


David Mamet had a famous saying that is often cited. Essentially he said: ‘in order for left-wing partisans and ideologues to continue advancing their agenda, they must pretend not to know things.’ CTH calls this “The Mamet Principle.”  No where is that quote more clearly showcased than with two media interviews of Dr. Deborah Birx today.

CNN’s Jake Tapper and NBC’s Chuck Todd both pretend not to know the guidelines and gateways for a phase-one reopening of the U.S. economy. Both pundits fabricate information purposefully and with specific intent.

When the original guidelines were rolled out by the White House COVID-19 task force, the administration was clear to say how the guidelines were created for the state governors to use in coordination with “state and local health officials.”

A key part of the White House guidelines was the “gateway to reopening”; which included a recommendation of a 14-day period where the virus tracking showed diminished spread. However, the guidelines were emphasized to be driven by “local and state health departments.” That’s the part where Tapper and Todd intentionally obfuscate the issue.

The White House guidelines to the state governors were intentionally structured around coordination with county health officials/county health departments. The reasoning was simple, a state with 40 counties may have passed the gateway hurdle in 38 of the 40 counties, but that does NOT mean the entire state has not passed the phase-one gateway.

“The guidance allows each state governor to modify their phased response by county depending on the Virus impact. Some counties may be in phase-one, while other counties may be in phase two or three. The state and local public health officials will be responsible for monitoring the virus impact on an ongoing basis.” (link)

Here’s a specific example. There are 67 counties in the state of Florida. Sixty-five of those counties may have already passed through the phase-one gateway; meaning they show declining infection rates for 14-days, and/or had little impact. Two counties like Dade, and Broward may not have yet passed the gateway guideline. It would be ridiculous for 65 (mostly rural) counties to sit and wait for one or two (mostly urban) counties to achieve the same level of virus containment before re-opening their local economy.

It would be ridiculous for a State Governor like Ron DeSantis to hold back sixty-five counties while waiting on the other one or two to catch up.

That is specifically why the White House guidance emphasized the local health departments coordinating with the state governors.

It does not take every county in the entire state to pass the gateway before the governor, any governor, can start giving guidelines for reopening. Nor is it accurate to say that “no state has passed the gateway for phase-one.” Factually, every state has some counties that are well beyond the phase-one guidelines.

Conversely, many counties within individual states may already be in phase-three; however, that doesn’t mean the entire state is in phase-3 based on the guidelines.

If you were to follow the false logic claimed by Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd, you could argue as soon as a state has a single county at phase-3 then the state has achieved the phase-3 gateway.

Watch how in the interviews both Tapper and Todd make the false claim that “no state has passed the phase-one reopening guideline”… They are lying, and they know it.

.

.

Both Tapper and Todd are political operatives, ideologues within media, who are advancing an agenda in an effort to do as much harm as many people as possible.  This is not an accident; and yes their harm is specific, purposeful and with intent.

The far-left, which includes most mainstream media now, are rage-filled and dangerous in disposition due to the rabidity of their partisanship.  If they were not, they wouldn’t be consistently lying.  It really is that simple.

Intellectual Froglegs – A Coded Message to Subversive Comrades in Quarantine…


Comrade citizens, the Ministry of COVID Compliance is transmitting this Emergency Action Message (EAM) to warn all good citizens about a subversive effort to initiate a rebellion. The rebel alliance is attempting recruitment through the use of humor:

[VISIT TRANSMISSION HERE]

Be aware, subversive agent/humorist Joe Dan Gorman is transmitting his message through a series of difficult to trace rebound satellite broadcasts.  Until his bunker location is identified, all good citizens are advised to avoid falling into his trap.  Humor is not allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ministry is not amused.

Do not fall prey to the rebellion.  The Alabama dog did actually bite the cow, twice; and the cowboys did retrieve the rebellious bovine before any significant damage was done to the shrubs and Ministry-approved garden gnomes.  However, this incident serves to highlight the inherent risks of attempting spontaneous acts of liberty and/or freedom. Be aware.

President Trump Notes Reports of HHS Secretary Azar Being “Fired” are Fake News…


Earlier today President Donald Trump noted the recent circular reporting by news media about the status of HHS Secretary Alex Azar are fake news.

.

The tweet comes a day after Politico and the Wall Street Journal first made the claim. Then CNN reported on the reporting of the fake news; and the Washington Post reported on the reporting of the reporting of the fake news. Thus the circular reporting of reporters reporting on the reporting of reporters travels exponentially into the ether of nothingness.

Carry on.
