Only one form of contagion travels faster than a virus. And that’s fear.
― Dan Brown, Inferno
It appears reaction to Coronavirus® has wreaked more carnage globally than the virus itself. Although a 2-3% mortality rate is nothing to sneeze at, it’s not exactly a Biblical plague either; even if virtually none of it passes the sniff test.
Given how Coronavirus® has been reported, coupled with how it’s been handled, its dubious origins, the alleged number of infected and deceased, as well as the age and general health of those who are reported to have died….something stinks.
As I indicated in my last article, it seems Coronavirus® has, indeed, become the new Terrorism®. The dark powers want the panic. They need the hysteria. Why? For diversion, control, or all the above.
There can be no doubt the mainstream media is NOT trying to downplay COVID-19. Just the opposite. Except what makes this latest remarketing of coronavirus different than 911®, Weapons of Mass Destruction®, and The War on Terror®, is that, this time, the Alternative Internet is on board – even to the point of citing Orwellian Media sources.
In any event, healthy skepticism is not close-mindedness, per se, because we may one day have a genuine pandemic on our hands. But Coronavirus® doesn’t present the way one would expect if real. Instead, the hysteria has a sort of Y2K vibe to it all.
So I ask you, Dear Reader, what if all the numbers and the reporting regarding the contagiousness, infectivity, and mortality of Coronavirus® were completely erroneous? Or, worse…, complete bullsh*t like the Russian Dossier and the whistleblower behind Operation Ukrainian Impeachment.
What if the Chinese were punked?
What if every single human being on earth who has ever lived, has had coronaviruses in their system at one time or another and the math was exactly the same?
What if SARS and MERS were similar psyops played out…. when? During peak flu season.
Because, if all the fundamentals are wrong, then so will be the conclusions.
Let us count the ways Coronavirus® fails to pass the sniff test:
1.) The Hype
Again, this blogger’s speculation is that Coronavirus® is the remarketing of coronavirus via COVID-19®, and the selective reporting is the hype. Because this urgency behind Coronavirus® in the news makes African AIDS look like the sniffles.
It also has become completely obvious that certain names/entities consistently appear in the COVID-19® coverage (in both the mainstream and alternative media): The Gates Foundation, John Hopkins University, and UK’s The Guardian.
From last fall: Event 201, a pandemic exercise to illustrate preparedness efforts
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences.
(More on that in # 3 below)
And this from a few days ago:
Governments Will Use The Coronavirus Card To Downgrade Estimates And Increase Interventionism
The John Hopkins University Coronavirus Global Cases Monitor shows that the mortality rate of the epidemic is very low. At the close of this article, 87,470 cases, 2,990 deaths and 42,670 recovered.
It is normal for the media to focus on the first two figures, but I think it is important to remember the last one. The recovered figure is more than ten times the deceased one. This should not make the reader ignore the epidemic, but it is also worth reading the scientific study that shows that the death rate in citizens under 60 is less than 1.3%, 0.2% in young population, and on average it is a maximum of 4% (“The Epidemiological Characteristics of an Outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Diseases”, February 2020).
Additionally, the John Hopkins people have been incessantly interviewed throughout the cable news universe.
Now consider the timeline: On Sunday, February 2, 2020, the first COVID-19 death outside of China was reported:
Global development
Coronavirus: first death outside China recorded as total fatalities pass 300
Man from Wuhan has died in a Philippines hospital, says WHO, as Xi Jinping orders 1,400 more medical workers into Wuhan
Global development is supported by
Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationSun 2 Feb 2020 11.08 EST
Indeed. The Gates Foundation. And the hits keep coming.
What about the timing of the first recorded COVID-19® death that occurred outside of China? It was one day before the Iowa Caucuses were held (2-3-2020) where the results were massaged to raise Mayor Pete over Bernie and bump Biden to the bare minimum viability.
It was also two days before the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Japan (more on this in # 4 below) and three days before Trump was acquitted in the Senate.
Certainly, it would be a stretch to believe the hype behind a “new” global virus would be geared to somehow affect the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election… but in the age of 911, Russiagate, and Operation Ukrainian Impeachment – would anything surprise me?
Nope. Probably not.
However, it could be that everything we’re seeing regarding COVID-19 is real; which would be amazing since it would be the first time in decades the Orwellian Media got it right. Maybe even the first time ever.
And, now, it’s been reported Coronavirus® “threatens to disrupt” the 2020 Campaign.
Empty stadiums and no more selfie lines? Coronavirus becomes 2020 X-factor.
If the virus does spread, the mechanical implications for campaigns could be profound.
And what about The Guardian? Always The Guardian:
Why, those tenacious Brits are everywhere. Even on the ground in Washington State?
Coronavirus: Washington state nursing home placed on lockdown | World news | The Guardian
Because Coronavirus® is everywhere. All day. Every day.
An especially good benchmark is what’s being reported via cellphone apps because these are primarily what the Bubbleheads see. The headlines are also queued onto internet browsers and e-mail platforms.
This from Yahoo News recently:
Global virus death toll tops 3,000 as cases soar around world
But after several paragraphs of doom, we read, way down the page, that the second death in Washington State was…
….a man in his 70s with underlying conditions….
Again, nothing to sneeze at, but still not the Bubonic Plague either, as it seems to be presented in the media.
Like SARS, coronavirus is pneumonia. But is COVID-19® worthy of the hype with a 1-3% mortality rate? Especially, when most of those who have died were considered “medically high risk”?
Again, it seems the panic over COVID-19® is causing more problems than the virus itself.
So maybe Churchill had a point when he said: “The only thing to fear is fear itself.”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO): pneumonia killed 808,694 children under the age of 5 in 2017, accounting for 15% of all deaths of children under five years old.
That’s 67,000+ a month! Little kids dying around the world.
Where were the headlines?
But COVID-19? Less than 100,000 infected and a little more than 3,000 reported deaths at the time of this writing. And that’s the John Hopkin’s numbers. But even IF the reporting was bogus and the mortality rate was as high as 6 to 11% as some have claimed, then wouldn’t faulty reporting mean the number of infected could be higher as well? And wouldn’t that reduce the mortality rate also?
Furthermore, if COVID-19 spreads so easily, then why only less than 100,000 cases worldwide? Especially considering that China is the most populous nation on earth.
Now consider that Aspiration Pneumonia has a mortality rate of 21% overall, 29% hospital-associated, and 30-62% in “older, sicker patients”.
And, according to the CDC Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report:
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths from flu.
Honestly, it seems COVID-19 has even less stamina worldwide than Joe Biden on the campaign trail.
The New England Journal of Medicine has speculated that coronavirus could be no worse than the flu:
An editorial published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine speculated that the coronavirus currently causing panic in world markets could turn out no worse than “a severe seasonal influenza” in terms of mortality.
So is COVID-19 real or is it a marketing gimmick? How would you know for sure?
2.) “The Eyes of Darkness”
Paradoxically, Coronavirus Was Eerily Predicted in a 1981 Novel:
…Throughout his career, [Dean] Koontz wrote under several pen names including David Axton, Deanna Dwyer, K.R Dwyer, Brian Coffey, and Leigh Nichols. It is with this last pen name that Koontz wrote the novel The Eyes of Darkness in 1981 – a “suspense thriller” that is causing even more “suspense thriller” nearly 40 years after its original publication.
….the virus is called Wuhan-400 because it was developed at their “RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan”. As you might know, the epicenter of the actual Coronavirus outbreak is in Wuhan.
The severe “pneumonia-like illness” was to “spread throughout the globe” in what year? Answer: “in 2020”.
The story also featured a scientist named Li Chen which is an amazing coincidence considering a guy by the name of Li Wenliang was the actual COVID-19 whistleblower in Wuhan who, by the way, was a 33-year-old ophthalmologist. Yes. An eye doctor.
Coronavirus kills Chinese whistleblower ophthalmologist – American Academy of Ophthalmology
The 33-year-old doctor was the first to raise the alarm about the coronavirus in late December. Using the Chinese social media platform Weibo, Li attempted to warn his colleagues about a cluster of SARS-like pneumonia cases. As his posts went viral, he realized that he “would probably be punished.” Within days, he was summoned by Chinese officials and forced to sign a letter accusing him of “making false comments” that had “severely disturbed the social order”. A copy of that letter was later posted on Weibo.
Following the incident, Dr. Li returned to work and, unfortunately, contracted the virus from an asymptomatic glaucoma patient…
So, let’s see…
2020
Wuhan, China
Pneumonia-like illness
Spread throughout the globe
Li Chen (when Li Wenliang was the actual whistleblower – an actual eye doctor)
Kind of adds a whole new dimension to 2020 vision, no?
3.) October, 2019: “Event 201” in New York City & the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, China
Most sources point to December 2019, or January 2020, as the beginning of Coronavirus®. In truth, it started in October 2019 – when the Event 201 conference took place in New York City and at the exact same time the 2019 Military World Games were holding its opening ceremonies.
The video embedded below is the Gates Foundation / John Hopkins “Event 201 Pandemic Exercise” highlight reel. It was posted on 11-4-2019 and showcases “GNN” (simulated) “news anchor reports” designed to generate (simulated) urgency:
In accordance to my last article entitled: “The Pluses and Minuses of Perceived Slyness, Stuffed Sinuses, and Coronaviruses”, note how the above video demonstrates a real-world U.N. Contingency Team (a consistent Hollywood remedy) arguing for increased centralization and coordination between the U.N. and World Health Organization (WHO) with “private sector supply chains”.
Beginning at the 7:01 mark, the “GNN Simulation” factors how “THE PANDEMIC IS CAUSING A GROWING GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS” – followed by commentary from real-life Chinese and U.S. CDC officials.
At the 8:15 mark, the GNN news simulation addresses how portions of the internet were shut down to “quell panic”.
And, if you don’t believe Coronavirus® is about control, then watch the “Scenario Epilogue” from the 10:03 mark to the end.
Keep in mind the “Event 201” exercise occurred in October 2019 and corresponded exactly with the 2019 Military World Games, hosting 110 nations and thousands of military members from around the world in… yes… WUHAN CHINA…. amidst a “malaria” outbreak in what we now know to be as ground zero of the Coronavirus outbreak weeks before the virus was first reported.
Accordingly, the Global Times posted an article entitled “Five foreign athletes from military world games in Wuhan infected with malaria, not COVID-19 in October, 2019: hospital head”, that has since been scrubbed from the internet. However, here is a screenshot showing the search result as proof the article once existed:
Do you believe in coincidence or conspiracy? You’re probably right.
4.) The Diamond Princess
Remember the Diamond Princess Cruise ship where the coronavirus quarantine was described to be a disaster?
On February 4, 2019, the day before Trump was acquitted in the senate, the ship was first quarantined with 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew members on board.
The Guardian reported the following on 2-5-2020
Of a further 273 people on board who have since been tested, 31 results had come back and of those 10 were positive, Japan’s health minister, Katsunobu Kato, said on Wednesday. It is not clear whether more tests would be carried out. None of the 10 infected people – three each from Japan and Hong Kong, two Australians, one American and one Filipino crew member – had severe symptoms, public broadcaster NHK said.
Separately, health checks began on 1,800 passengers and crew on a second cruise ship docked in Hong Kong, after 30 staff members reported symptoms including fever, according to Reuters.
By Feb 8th it was reported 63 people were ill and by Feb 10th, 24 Americans were said to be suffering from coronavirus.
Then, a week later, the cruise line itself updated the following on their website: 169 new cases on February 18th and the “end of the quarantine and disembark process” on February 19th and 20th.
Seriously? Really?
According to one report so far, six people who were on the Diamond Princess have now died with 705 of the 3,711 infected = a 19% infection rate within a poorly handled quarantine. We also know at least two of the deceased were in their eighties.
Given the quarantine began a month ago – either the incubation process takes longer – or – the death rate is far lower than 6-11% as some are now claiming – or the testing or reporting is FUBAR?
Regardless, something is off. Because shouldn’t we be hearing more dire news on the Diamond Princess passengers by now? Especially given the first-person accounts of the overall sloppiness of the quarantine itself; and the alleged high infectivity of the virus.
Now consider this: Infected U.S. passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship were brought to Travis Air Force Base in northern California . Then, days later, the media exploded over the first case of “unknown origin” in California. Except, reports said…
It’s also possible, however, that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected.
Oh, and where was this person infected via “unknown origin”? Answer:
California officials said the person is a resident of Solano County
And guess where Travis Air Force Base is located? You guessed it: Solano County California – just northeast of San Francisco.
So I ask you: Do the governing authorities and media want the virus to spread or the fear of the virus to spread?
Now consider another first-person account:
“I have the coronavirus. So far, it isn’t that bad.”
By Carl Goldman, The Washington Post|February 28, 2020:
I caught the virus on the Diamond Princess…
….Our test results had not arrived before we boarded buses for the airport, where two U.S. government planes waited for us.
…As we took off from Tokyo, I had a bit of a cough…
…When I woke up, I had a fever..
…So I took a seat in the quarantine area and fell back asleep until we touched down in California, at Travis Air Force Base…
…Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came onto the plane and said that three of us who had been cordoned off would fly to Omaha (with our spouses, if they wanted to come along). The CDC had a quarantine location at the University of Nebraska’s hospital
It’s also true that some of the Diamond Princess passengers were flown to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.
So… let’s see… before their test results were back, authorities migrated infected Americans from a cruise ship to buses and then airplanes. Then, they planted the highly infectious patients, and their spouses, in California, Texas, and Nebraska.
What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, yeah. Oops!
CDC Accidentally Releases ‘Diamond Princess’ Evacuee Who Tested Positive For The Virus

Even Dean Koontz could not have imagined it better.
5.) Control
These just in… like clockwork; and right on schedule:
Epidemics like coronavirus are putting a spotlight on contactless biometrics
This is a guest post by Mohammed Murad, vice president, global sales and business development, Iris ID.
The world is in the grip of a coronavirus epidemic the impact of which extends well beyond people’s health…
And
Coronavirus: China to boost mass surveillance machine, experts say
KEY POINTS
The Chinese government has enlisted the help of technology companies to create products to help contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Technologies from drones to facial recognition are being used to track people.
Experts told CNBC that the ramp up in surveillance could continue even after the virus is contained.
and
Vexed by how to contain virus, countries take tough steps
and
Schools shut, travel curbed as world races to fight coronavirus
It also appears Americans must prepare for “significant disruption” and Orange Man bad:
CDC warns Americans of ‘significant disruption’ from coronavirus
U.S. health officials issued a strong warning about novel coronavirus on Tuesday despite remarks from the Trump administration stating they have the situation under control.
Until now, health officials said they’d hoped to prevent community spread in the United States. But following community transmissions in Italy, Iran and South Korea, health officials believe the virus may not be able to be contained at the border and that Americans should prepare for a “significant disruption.”
Once again, it could be this latest incarnation of coronavirus is a real killer and the mortality rates now being reported are completely bogus.
Perhaps the Chi-coms started the conflagration to smoke-out the protests (and protesters) in Hong Kong. This slick embedded video (right here) shows cell-phone footage of the crackdown in China. Perhaps this is the real suppressed news regarding Coronavirus®. It would certainly qualify as a possible motive – and opportunity. And, relatively speaking, Wuhan / Hubei province is in (somewhat) close proximity to Hong Kong – and, even, Taiwan.
Or maybe the global financial elite wanted to burn down China’s economy and cause civil strife in order to secure Hong Kong and/or Taiwan. Or it could be the globalists desire the Asian flu to spread like wildfire around the globe in order to centralize power with a new world order and cashless financial system.
It’s also possible the Centralizers have been trying to light just the right-sized fire for some time with the burning matches of Bird flu, Swine flu, SARS, MERS, et al, all of which, so far, have extinguished upon the damp grass of the human immune system – and prior to the flames taking hold.
It could be they got it just right this time.
If I believed in coincidences, I might even say it could be naturally occurring.
Maybe the time has come – and, as the musician Frank Zappa previously predicted, the “illusion” has become “too expensive” to maintain” and we’re now about to “see the brick wall at the back of the theater”.
It any event, it appears Coronavirus® has arrived on schedule and at the perfect time. And here is an article speculating on why:
5+ NWO Agendas Accompanying the Coronavirus Epidemic
- Centralized Control of Information, i.e. Censorship and Narrative Control
- The Cashless Agenda
- Martial Law Quarantines
- Mandatory Vaccination
- Bill Gates’ ID2020: Digital Identification via Microchipping
- Agenda 2030: Wuhan Slated to be one of China’s Smart Cities
- Is the Coronavirus Epidemic a Race-Based Bioweapon?
Again…, a bad cold, a bioweapon, or a Biblical plague: At this point, what difference does it make?
6.) Considerations Regarding COVID-19®, Trump, & the Economy
It is very interesting how the same people who, just a few weeks ago, were talking about Trump taking the blame for any economic downturn prior to the election, are now accepting of the current market carnage as due to Coronavirus®. And this is no surprise because the Orwellian Media has universally blamed the COVID-19® outbreak for the economic volatility.
Here is another example from one of the largest news sources in the digital bubble, Yahoo, which is incessantly spraying smart devices around the globe:
Coronavirus has ravaged the stock market and the extreme selling may just be starting
Proceed with caution, value-seeking investors. The hammer job done on stocks at the hands of the spreading coronavirus may just be getting started if history and common sense are any guides.
….The current correction spurred by fears of the coronavirus morphing into a global pandemic — where $2.5 trillion has been wiped off the value of U.S. stocks since last Wednesday’s high per S&P data — is approaching the average bull market percentage pullback. But the losses have come in only four days and there remains significant uncertainty as to how bad Corporate America’s profits will be hit.
Won’t coronavirus take Trump off the perception hook for the economy? Because the global financial elite COULD have crashed the markets and then blamed Trump (and Brexit) for the sins of nationalism, populism, tax cuts and trade isolationism.
But now, if COVID-19 takes the blame, how can the Dem’s tack it to Trump before the November election? Because, right now, the only ones who look bad are those who are politicizing the outbreak = Trump’s opponents and the media.
So, what are the implications? And will they matter?
There remains the possibility that COVID-19 could actually help Trump get reelected; especially if the virus (with its low mortality rate) fizzles in the sun like SARS.
Keep in mind Trump also initiated a travel-ban in January as a response to COVID-19 – a move that as widely ridiculed by his opponents.
And if this was a manmade and/or marketing campaign to burst the bubble, what do you suppose are the actual implications of that? Think it through very carefully because the ramifications are yuge.
No matter what, it remains to be seen if Coronavirus® is one of the best things to happen to Trump prior to November 3, 2020. Or the worst.
Conclusion
There are far better depopulaters than COVID-19 – like AIDS in Africa, as an example. But… advertising works.
Ask yourself what would happen if the headlines were all exclaiming COVID’s 98% survival rate. And perhaps an even better question is why the headlines are NOT exclaiming COVID’s 98% survival rate.
What is the real propaganda here?
Propaganda:
:the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
:ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause
Who do you believe? W.H.O.? The CDC? The Orwellian Media? The Democratic presidential candidates? Team Trump? The Drudge Report? The Alternative Internet?
Why?
Because, it seems Coronavirus® has all the appearance of “hype”– like it’s being milked for all it’s worth. Like trying to prop up Joe Biden with duct-tape and knee-braces to stumble across each state’s primary finish line.
But, to be sure, the public reactions, including within the financial markets, are real. Just like clockwork. And I do believe vaccines and quarantines have the potential of being more dangerous than common, or even uncommon, coronaviruses.
It could be COVID-19 was tweaked to become highly infectious and maybe the elite loosed the virus on the unsuspecting Chinese as an end-game checkmate; and are now using the media to hype it for all it’s worth.
Or maybe the Chi-com’s have used the virus as cover to neutralize “infected” protesters.
In any event, it appears governments have strived to create panic and financial collapse to promote a hoax that would accomplish the destruction.
Why? Because they feel it’s time.
Thank you for that Doug. I’d like to think TBPer’s aren’t the sheep so much of American’s are.
Absolutely K!¢k @$$ article Doug!
CCRider- aren’t you more concerned about places with more authoritarian control (outside of US) that have more control over their citizens lives & over the narratives they hear? I mean, surely the good ol’ U.S.A. isn’t nearly as bad as some sort of National Socialist / State Facist kind of country, right?? /s

Only in scope and Nazi Germany is a bad memory and our nightmare only gets worse.
Once again James gets inside the issue:
So, the three bat soup virus hot spots – Wuhan, Korea, and Iran – have all just gone live with their 5g roll outs. There is great amount of travel from Japan to China and Korea. Now Japan has bat soup virus. Coincidence, or just bat soup crazy?
And, there’s this yet to be suppressed due to community standards internet gem –
“The 5G trial network is delivering internet connectivity to the commercial passenger cruise ships and their passengers while in port. This is one of the first operational 5G trial networks with an ecosystem of partners, customers and consumers. … Each of the cruise ship carries as many as 2,000 passengers.”
Infected cruise ships (from East Asia), but no infected planes (from East Asia). No infected 5g-less cargo ships and crews (from East Asia) either. Correlation is beginning to look like causation.
But then it’s an ecosystem. And has electrolytes. Probably.
It’s definitely the electrolytes. Welcome to the asylum.
Coronavirus has what plants crave.
There are no sheep here but there are a few mutton heads.
Must’ve hit too close to home for somebody.

Operation Sea Spray and others – US navy release of biological agents over American cities
https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1003703226697496080
Somebody once described the US as a special lab or a petri dish, anyway, an experiment. I’d say a lab where all kinds of experiments are conducted. “It’s a cookbook!”
This 25 paragraph article is not quite as comprehensive as yours Doug, but as Brandon Smith has a different take on similar themes, it is interesting as a “compare & contrast” exercise:
http://www.alt-market.com/index.php/articles/4133-how-the-pandemic-crisis-will-probably-develop-over-the-next-year
From the above alt-market link:
For a while now I have been hearing it said that Americans are “in a panic” over the coronavirus outbreak in the US, and that mainstream media outlets are “feeding the fear”. This is an odd conclusion to come to and something worth noting, because the truth is mostly the opposite. For the past couple of months the WHO, the CDC and even Donald Trump have been dismissing Covid 19 as nothing much to worry about. The WHO actually still refuses to call it a pandemic even though the virus meets all of their own criteria.
Until recently the mainstream media was also been pumping out article after article on why Covid 19 is “no more dangerous than the flu”. With the official death rate at 2.3% to 3% (changing by the week), the virus already has higher mortality than the average flu. If we take into account the fact that multiple medical professionals within China have revealed (despite threats of punishment) that the Chinese government is hiding the true (and much higher) death and infection statistics, then the official data goes out the window. We can’t even trust the infection numbers from the CDC in the US, because they been refusing to test most people unless they have recently traveled to China.
Because of government lies we have to assume that the crisis is more pervasive than we know. And so far the average American is oblivious to it.
While we do see a handful of videos of crowds stockpiling supplies at Costco or Walmart, there simple is not enough of them. Frankly, I would prefer to see a nationwide rush to stock up on necessities; at least then we would know that a large number of people will not starve immediately following a supply chain disruption. The more people that have supplies, the less desperation and potential crime there will be.
Only in the past week have the media and certain government representatives suddenly decided to take the pandemic issue seriously. Why wait until there are large community outbreaks in South Korea, Iran and Italy before instituting some travel guidelines? Why are flights still moving back and forth from these places to the US? Why is Trump’s economic adviser Larry Kudlow telling the country that the pandemic “is contained” and there’s no threat to the economy? Why is the Surgeon General of the US telling people to ‘Stop buying N95 masks’ because they will not work for you; they only work for medical and CDC professionals? This is warped fuzzy logic, and it’s bizarre.
I believe this behavior is quite deliberate, and that for the past two months there has been a conspiracy to downplay the danger and keep as many people as possible passive and unprepared. Governments and the media have changed their tune in the past week because the threat can no longer be hidden. The outbreak is here, as we have seen in Washington State where nine people have died already.
So, now that there is no longer any question that the US will experience outbreak conditions, we have to ask how this will play out over the coming months because this will determine how we prepare and what problems we will face. This is how I see the pandemic escalating in 2020…
“Frankly, I would prefer to see a nationwide rush to stock up on necessities; at least then we would know that a large number of people will not starve”
I completely disagree here. Who the hell do you think is liable for the current tyrannical slavery in the US? Every fucking voter and gov worker are the liable parties. Nearly all the other useless assholes have done nothing to remove the tyrants.
Divine justice levied on these criminal psychopaths would be the greatest blessing to man and may open an opportunity finally bring the balance necessary to take out the tyrants.
I think the whole thing is another zika, ebola comes to US, SARS, MERS mind fuck but in case it’s not then tool up because an opportunity may open up to bring down the tyrants.
I agree i prefer the sheep to stay sheep And die off quickly. Leaving the masses of voting to preppers in the future to offset the illegal voting and dead voter roles…..
I think there are too many zombie shows in television and people have begun to fear the shadow behind the door even though it is really the coat they hung up to dry last night.
I believe that the stated interpretation of the N95 discussion does a complete disservice to anyone who chooses to read the statement I am commenting on that might believe it is accurate and clear.
As you may have discovered by now, the n95 situation was that some people who work in the MEDICAL PROFESSION were charged with coming into direct contact with people who were symptomatic and spraying saliva and nasal droplets into the air. Although they did not have proven evidence that N95 accompanied by protective eyewear was absolutely effective, they did have evidence from similar infectious organism research in the past that demonstrated a high degree of protection under those circumstances. The people who were healthcare workers and not in direct contact were not using N95 protection because it was not necessary and the supply of those devices was limited.
Imagine if you were sick with any contagious respiratory disease that would cause a healthcare worker to become violently ill and unable to do the job. The amount of trained/skilled workers is a finite commodity and if people walking the streets destroyed the availability of protective gear then we would either lose access to healthcare workers when they all became sick from working face to face with persons coughing into their faces or THEY WOULD DECIDE THAT NO JOB WAS WORTH THE RISK of performing it without proper safety gear and just find another way to make a living.
Pretty obviously this disease was not just floating around and making every person who breaths an exposure victim. Just like the annual influenza, not everyone catches it because it requires that some particle arrives in your eye, nose, or mouth and is aspirated to an internal site where it can multiply. It must arrive. It must come into contact with hospitable breeding ground and multiply to the extent that your body’s defenses are not capable of overcoming its continued growth and then illness sets in.
To panic and destroy access to equipment for those who are in direct contact with sick people in close enough proximity to spew infectious material into their faces is bad for everyone who may become sick with any disease because it destroys a valuable resource (people who perform the work.)
If you touch your face with uncleaned hands. If you allow people to cough or sneeze into your face. If you cough or sneeze into other people’s faces. And on and on with the list of stupid unsanitary behavior, then you belong in a bubble so you can not hurt or be hurt by others. If you take appropriate and not psychotic precautions then there is no need to generate a run on equipment that is in limited supply and absolutely a necessity to those who have no choice but to be in direct contact with a situation where those things are very likely to happen and can not be avoided.
Imagine that all welder’s shields were confiscated and destroyed along with all forms of eye protection that could filter bright light. Quite likely nearly all welding would come to a stop. Welders would not be willing to risk blindness. Imagine that welding eye protection went into production based on the knowledge of approximately how many professionals needed it to start welding again. Now imagine that someone manages to convince all people that a solar eclipse is coming and eye protection is needed (even though it is really only needed if you intend to stare into the sun) and the public runs to buy up all the eye protection on the misconception that somehow an eclipse will create blinding rays that will get them wherever they are. The announcement that welding eye protection is once again being made and available in stores would result in total depletion because those manufacturers and distributors only set up to make enough to satisfy then known normal need. There would be a shortage of welders returning to work because people who did not really need the protective gear would have eliminated the supply.
The media and the government delivered a major stimulation to send millions of persons into a PANIC ATTACK which has helped to demonstrate that a huge amount of the public are ignorant alarmists who would trample you or me to death is someone told them the boogey man is a horrible monster and is right around the corner.
For those of you who misinterpret the word IGNORANT, it does not mean stupid or unable to learn. It means DO NOT HAVE ACCURATE INFORMATION STORED IN THEIR MEMORY and therefore do not know enough to make valid informed decisions.
@ 4-T,
Actually Brandon and I are in more accord than some might realize. We are both saying the numbers are bogus and we both agree the consequences/reactions to COVID-19 are dire.
I’m still figuring out if Brandon from Alt-Market is one of the alternative media folks/sites that is overreacting in fear to this Coronavirus® / COVID-19™ or is he on target? As a rule, he tends to be pretty accurate w/his predictions…
Continuation of some more of Brandon’s article here:
Multiple Community Outbreaks In The US
Get ready for Washington State to become a large community infection event involving thousands of people. The virus’ incubation period of up to 24 days while a person is still contagious makes isolation and quarantine impossible. What is happening in Washington State will happen in other states.
Going by the speed of the outbreaks in Italy and South Korea, it is likely that two weeks from now the American public will finally realize how bad the situation actually is. The government at this stage will demand “voluntary quarantine” of individuals who think they might have the virus. Testing will finally increase, though hospitals will have to test each person 2-3 times to get accurate results. Expect a lot of false negatives that end up ultimately as positives for the infection.
The government, while admitting that the virus is spreading, will continue to downplay the threat to keep people as apathetic as they can. The authorities will clam that this was done “for the greater good” in order to avoid mass panic, but they don’t care about preventing “panic”, they care about control. The more desperate people are in the aftermath of a crisis the more likely they are to trade their freedoms for some semblance of security.
Travel Lockdown
Within the next two months we will probably see at least a handful of government enforced quarantines. Watch for checkpoints going up on main roads and highways testing for fever and symptoms, and if you live in a high population area it may be time to get out. The biggest threat may not be the virus but the subsequent economic crash as supply lines are cut off. I find most people are more driven by conscience than we often see displayed in movies and TV shows, but without organization and a move to become self sustainable, some people will inevitably turn to violence to get what they need.
In the span of perhaps three months, the majority of airline flights out of the US will stop. All interstate travel will be restricted. If you need to go somewhere other than where you currently live, now would be the opportunity to do it.
Vaccine Promises
There will be hundreds of announcements by government officials and the media hinting that a vaccine is “right around the corner”. Don’t believe it. On average a vaccine takes 1 year to develop at minimum. That is the fastest it could be accomplished an this is under the best possible circumstances. Also, keep in mind that Covid-19 has many similarities to SARS, and the last time they tried to develop a vaccine for SARS it caused an “immunopathologic lung reaction” in test animals, meaning a negative reaction that can cause death. They also found the vaccine caused liver damage through hepatitis. I would not trust any vaccine or drug cocktail coming from the CDC and FEMA, especially if it is fast-tracked into existence.
The only purpose to constantly injecting vaccine promises into the public consciousness would be to give people false hope and to make them docile as they sit inactive waiting for the authorities to save the day; as well as to keep stock markets from plunging too fast. The bottom line is, a vaccine can take up to ten years to produce, one year if there is a massive effort and mountains of money invested. There will be no legitimate vaccine in 2020.
Election Disruption
Donald Trump’s behavior surrounding this event might seem strange to many people as he continues to dismiss virus concerns, shows more interest in the stock market than the health crisis and talks about a vaccine that will not be coming anytime soon…
Alternative Media Shutdown
Liberty websites like mine and many others will eventually be shut down or blocked from public view by the government. They will claim that we are “spreading panic” or “fake news” and “putting the public at risk”. This is what is happening in China and it could just as easily happen here. They will assert that the ONLY authority on the pandemic is the government, and alternative sources cannot be allowed to exist. Anyone that questions the narrative that centralization is the solution will be targeted.
I expect this kind of lockdown of the web closer to election season and the end of the year if the current virus trend continues. Mainstream media and spin control websites will remain intact. Their job will be to flood the public with false news stories and maintain government dominance of the narrative.
I think Brandon is spot on in his analysis.
But not his analysis of Elizabeth Warren becoming president.
Thank God for that….
My professional opinion on censorship of websites is to spread your IP address far and wide among your user base. The easiest way for Fedgov to fuck with you is to remove your domain from their DNS servers. So users will get a 404 error or Bad Gateway message instead of your site. BUT if users know your IP address they’ll probably still be able to access your site, so get this info out there for all of us NOW!!!
nslookup domain name
Well it is great to manipulate a major segment of the world to believe that some disease has caused what will likely turn out to be the largest WEALTH GRAB in the history of mankind instead of seeing the facts as they are. “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”
Every once in a while I read something from a sane person. It is wonderful to know that a few remain and take the time to make their presence known. Perhaps there is still hope.
You gotta admit this presents the perfect opportunity for the government from the local level all the way to the NWO to take control.
How the Administrative State Defied Trump to Cause a Coronvirus Crisis
Excellent post. Excellent observations. Excellent conclusion. As stated above I’m not afraid of getting the virus. I’m afraid of the potential for governments and organizations to use the crisis to offer or demand “solutions” that will further erode our liberty and freedom. Indeed the Event 201 clip demonstrates conclusively what (((they))) would like to do. More control, more globalization, when it is the globalization that makes the problem worse. If each country had their own independent supply chains would this be an issue? I don’t know. As you so eloquently lay out, this could be anything from another Y2K scare to an actual Black Swan event (planned or unplanned). Jury is still out for me… Chip
I always think about Rahm’s quote “never let a serious crisis go to waste…”
At present, patients with new type of coronavirus pneumonia can be combined with multiple organ damages such as severe respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocardial damage, abnormal coagulation function, kidney damage, liver damage, etc. However, no central nervous system involvement has been reported. The case report is the first in the world
Another arrow in the quiver of TPTB is that this situation is custom made to bring the maximum amount of peer pressure on those who resist. It’s eccentric not to believe you owe the government an income tax; it’s deadly to refuse vaccinations, self-quarantine and other demands that could kill your neighbor–or so we’ll told.
When you think about it, introducing a global pandemic into the mix is probably the fastest, most efficient way to collapse markets, interrupt supply chains, strike terror in the hearts of the public who will demand response…and all the time looking like you’re working as hard as possible to save them.
It’s like Anton LaVey in a Mother Teresa costume. You don’t know whether to laugh or cry…or just suffocate to death.
It’s happening now and it really is the new War on Terror®.
“Anton LaVey in a Mother Teresa costume.”
Classic. That’s some good stuff right there
avoiding homework again there buddy?
But if the virus is really only hype then why worry about how people were shuttled about?
It’s not just hype. There is a enough real in it to make it a perfect rallying point to justify government States of emergency and potential martial law.
How many actual jack booted thugs would it take to lock down your area then?
I dont recall hearing how many it took to lock down Boston looking for the marathon bombers, but that was also only short term. An actual imposition of ML would require a lot of manpower and a lot of civil compliance. Not alot of either in the US.
People on either side who are really afraid will do a lot of things they wouldn’t normally do when they feel safe.
For most of history women were regarded as property of husbands. Do you see a lack of compliance? Women are de facto property of the state, and the children too. I’m so sick of the Christian warrior bluster. When the cuckservatives stop saying “Thank you for your service.” I’ll entertain your opinion.
I didn’t mean they would do a lot of good things or resist.
I meant they would more likely when very afraid comply and do a lot of bad things to save their butts.
Eyes Wide, I was responding to Chuck’s comment.
My question was how many totalitarian enforcers would it take to lock your area down, given that citizens don’t normally follow rules over the long term, after EyesWideShut opined that this was orchestrated to allow Big Gov the opportunity to take control through martial law.
Locking anyplace down, is difficult, even with a compliant population, because manpower.
I’m not sure how to take your response as it is so all over the place.
Women de facto property? Christian Warrior blather? cuckservatives? WTF?
Are you channeling Biden in your responses?
“How many actual jack booted thugs would it take to lock down your area then?
I dont recall hearing how many it took to lock down Boston looking for the marathon bombers…”
Actually they locked down a significant portion of Boston (a good ~couple million folks) with just 100’s of “police”— if we pick some relatively close figures, 2MM people put into an illegal “martial law lockdown” by ~200 “police officers” then it looks like 1 jackbooted thug posing under color of law with a military appearance plus weapons can control 10,000 sheeple
The “Boston Bombing™” example you cited doesn’t bode well for anyone concerned for personal liberty.
You forget that no one was actively ‘hunting’ the police either. It would take far more than what they used if that were the case.
Couple Martial law with the left wanting to remove all our guns makes you worry
I also wanted to make a correction:
In my piece above, I mistakenly attributed the “the only thing to fear is fear itself” quote to Winston Churchill. It hit me this morning that it was actually FDR who said that; and when I verified it online, I noticed it was stated during his first inauguration speech…. on March 4, 1933. Yep. Today’s date. Or, rather, the day this piece was posted… but exactly 87 years ago. Wild
History echoes, not repeats
Is the deep state trying to nullify the elections by saying too many could not or refused to leave their homes to vote? Claiming voter suppression of poor people that dont have doctors or medical or money for co pays?
they are pushing vote by mail legislation
Bingo! It’s not the virus we fear. It is Government REACTION to the virus that we fear… Chip
Well, the base enemy’s function is a given. What worries me is the lack of a proper reaction from “We the People”. Most are not worthy of the designation. We’ve all been rebuffed on the slightest contempt towards our masters.
Pay attention to the interstates which i travel often and i have seen many local military vehicles labeled “Sheriff”. Military kinds
Thanks for your pulling together another convincing article of the wall behind the curtain. All the hype is becoming hard to take in; I’ve found a few sites that just present what’s known, with a little educated projection thrown in for good measure.
One site is Dr. John Campbell, who offers calm, clear daily updates that have released me from all the fear hype that’s out there.
I hope you and your family fare well as this thing comes to a head, keep your hands washed and stay away from crowds till late spring and you’ll be able to write an article in the summer about how this all has been another head fake to keep our focus on the shiny object and not the real issues seething below the surface.
Odd name… any chance related to T. Colin Campbell ?
flash- THAT is the $64,000 question. Everything that goes in your mouth has an effect on your health and until people get that, they will have health problems.
Again, it is against the law in 27 states to teach nutrition in medical school. WHY??? Because BIG PHARMA, Population Control, GREED. The big reason, Uncle Sam doesn’t care if we die, government is in place to please the elites….PERIOD.
I’ve learned the hard way, MDs are pretty much statist scum. Never trust one with your life. You will lose every time.
“Campbell” is an odd name?
Dr. Campbell is excellent.
How many non- Asians have died ?
It has to decimate a communist military and economic superpower like China more to effect the world economies greater and to get China to bow down to a NWO solution they would otherwise never do.
It is not just an issue of non asians. Of the ones that died, what were their ages, health condition at the time of infection and level of health care available to them? These are just the basic questions that are left out of reporting on this virus. You can continue to subdivide each of the questions above to get a better picture of the individuals risk factors.
I will go on record that this is most likely a false flag event. It has drummed up more fear and panic than anything else. Like I have said before, it has a bad odor of propaganda to it. The goal posts seem to be moving around the playing field folks. The narrative is being managed it seems.
Use common sense and get on with getting on. JMO
I saw some age stats yesterday that stated > 85% of global fatalities were 65 years or older and, in western countries, most fatalities were accompanied by preexisting medical conditions. Winter is also period of extreme air pollution throughout China’s inland cities – note how coastal cities seem to have been spared. Almost no one under 18 has died. Can’t remember source.
When I lived in Indonesia back in 1997, smoke from the out of control fires in southern Kalimantan drifted over the large Malaysian city of Kucing and killed about 30,000 people. Winter air pollution kills tens of thousands every year in Asia, and lo and behold we see maps showing that all air pollution has disappeared from Chinese inland cities at the same time the “virus” casualties are diminishing.
Speculation – could this “virus” actually be an air pollution emergency? The bat soup menace would provide cover for Chinese authorities related to the bigger pollution embarrassment, plus it gives an opportunity to show the world how they “fixed it”, and provides the rest of the world power hungry governments an opportunity to showcase how they are keeping their inmates “safe”.
Exactly. A situation like that is a target rich environment for propaganda and fear mongering. I am not saying there isn’t a threat with covid-19, all I am suggesting is it as bad as being reported? There seems to be a lot of opinion and few facts being reported. Panic and fear is what makes all this seem real and it also clouds good thinking.
” The bat soup menace would provide cover for Chinese authorities related to the bigger pollution embarrassment, plus it gives an opportunity to show the world how they “fixed it”, and provides the rest of the world power hungry governments an opportunity to showcase how they are keeping their inmates “safe”.
And ruin their (China) own economy over it? hardly…
The speculated premise is that the air pollution is making people sick. I’ve lived in it and it does make you sick, and then add food poisoning every 6 to 8 weeks and its a really bad health situation.
Would also be a good opportunity to round up all those dissidents that “tested” positive. But fact is no one knows what exactly is going on except we are being lied to.
Latest age stats.
Ultimately, is this what the bat soup menace and its associated hysteria is cover for?
?itok=AEcz728a
I don’t think Covid is “cover” for the Fed’s rate cut and QE4, I think it’s justification for it. Rather, at least, a reason for it. A reason — a necessity — for which there would be NO need without the UNjustified fear & panic caused by much MSM and internet reporting/hype.
Not finished reading yet but under item number two you state all the similarities with the Koontz book. But you missed the difference shown in the book in the paragraph below your red underlining. That the Koontz virus could not survive for more than a minute outside the human body. CV19 is purported to survive on surfaces for hours/days.
Not taking a stand here either way but wanted to point that out while I continue reading… Chip
And that’s a fair point, Chip. Certainly, many coincidences and conspiracies are quite often a bridge too far.
But what also struck me about the book cover that I embedded into this article, was how there appeared to be a visual representation of Bill Gates’ Microsoft Windows® logo:
And with a child staring from behind, no less:
Coronavirus Is Contagious, But Kids Seem Less Vulnerable So Far
I know, I know. Probably all just coincidences. Like a guy with the last name of Gates inventing software named Windows. I guess anything’s possible.
What if it’s meant to kill as many elderly as possible? Takes a big load off of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.
It looks like they are just letting this thing, whatever it is, run rampant in that Kirkland, WA nursing home. You could do the same thing with the flu. They bought a hotel to quarantine people.
The whole thing is weird, regardless of what it is. I don’t think Chris Martenson is over reacting to this, do you? A couple days ago he showed on a chart how it is replicating with minor copying errors, then he showed how they can track it to show when someone else caught it with no contact whatsoever to the original host because the genetics are the same for both people. This was a California woman and a teenager who never had any contact with each other.
How much easier would it be for the progressives to attain their goal of total control with all of us old goats gone? We were educated before they took over the schools, tend to be more religious and guard the 2A with our lives. We are the firewall.
We Are the World. The children are the future.
And, on my phone, a Mucinex® Cold & Congestion Spray commercial ran before this video on YouTube:
Guh! Diversity contagion kills
great point.
Yes the Window. You piece things together very well Doug… Chip
I’m beginning to think exactly the same – that this is a “virus” with political objectives. Strange how this “pandemic” is not killing any children, or why such a weak bio-weapon would be released that doesn’t kill young, fit fighting age men. Would be interesting too to see the comparative genome between the Wuhan and Iranian strains. Is the real target Iran? US election?
We all know the Cui Bono part, the real question is, “Why?” What are they up to?
testing compliance and their ability to generate enough fear to create compliance.
It is a game of distraction
and everyone wins
With Knight-Bishop defense…
Some very good points to ponder, Doug. My husband had a Veteran’s Clinic appointment and so stopped by Lowe’s and said it all looks very normal here in Bugtussel.
I have not reviewed comments for “real” science questions but, I’m hoping the video gets enough play that we might submit TBP questions for both of these scientists/researchers to ponder and answer in future bike rides.
As long as we all keep in mind neither of them is connected to anyone in the federal government through employment or funding.
Don’t forget that.
I think the Koontz thing is way overblown, but that is because I’ve been in writer’s workshops where incredibly devious minds plot devious and plausible catastrophic events for their protagonists to appear larger than life when they overcome them.
And, some of those writers in those workshops were former lawyers, scientists, finance experts and they KNOW how all these things work and just make up really plausible details.
As for the PsyOps issue? I think we are seeing the most successful operation ever, thanks to Google’s Creepy Line and Bill Gates belief that vaccinations are the best way to control population in the overpopulated third world.
So back in 1999 Gates traveled to Bellagio, Italy to hammer out a solution, along with Unicef, the World Bank, the UN, various pharmas and aid groups. The result was the Global Alliance for Vaccines & Immunisation, now called the GAVI Alliance, which Gates ultimately backed with a $2.5 billion pledge and personal will, exhibiting the tough-guy tactics, when necessary, that earned Microsoft the fear of its rivals and enmity of U.S. antitrust regulators. “Bill was a little like a poker player who put a lot of chips on the table and scared everyone else off,” says Seth Berkley, who ran a Gates-funded AIDs vaccine effort and is now GAVI’s chief executive.
And, again and again, the internet will assure you that Bill Gates did not mean population control when discussing vaccines, even though he says it several times.

How is it that a guy smart enough to develop a computer operating system is too STUPID to understand that CO2 is PLANT FOOD???
6CO2 + 6H2O + SUNLIGHT –> C6H12O6 +6O2
HOW DOES A MAN OF HIS INTELLIGENCE NOT KNOW THIS? I assume he DOES know this. And so what are his Luciferian Objectives? The only explanation is that Gates is PURE EVIL. He’s using his power and influence to LIE to and misinform people PURPOSELY… Chip
Stare at Gates long enough and he turns into a serpent. Just kidding…sorta.
Do some research and I think you will find the original code was not developed by gates. If my mind serves me correctly it came out of DEC Computer.
no that was unix… and at the time, we unix guys couldn’t stand gate’s and his gang’s crap… considered it garage shop quality. As far as any of these guys “developing” software, when you think of google, facebook (myspace) etc. ad infinitum think NSA, contrary to popular belief (snicker) al gore didn’t develop the web .. that would be darpa, and on it goes.
The internet was created by the military as a means of communication should all other means be compromised or destroyed. The Arpanet..
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23738871.2016.1157619
i believe that i pointed that out…
…and I agreed with you and actually posted some information re that fact….
I understood that you Unix guys did not think the code had any value so it was, so to speak, ignored by DEC. Thus the serpent was born.
He bought DOS, but it would not have been worth much without marrying it to PCs. BG got the PC deal from IBM. They were stupid of course. All he had to do was legally make a functionally equivalent BIOS, and the clone PC with Windows, or maybe DOS, was born. He’s sorta a J.D. Rockefeller.
The human brain is an organic computer. And just like any computer when garbage is fed into it garbage will come out of it. Bill Gates may have developed the computer operating system but that may be all he was good for. He may have injected a lot of garbage along with the food that produced the operating system.
“computer operation system”? are you kidding? for the longest time the microsoft crap wasn’t even multitasking let alone multiuser
Imagine how much money Gates would have if he had to compensate people for all the time they spent battling with his crappy products and starting at a blue screen of death.
Evil is only that which is against you. Gates is about power. You are about pretend power in some old Jewish writing. He is being pragmatic. Subhumans are in the way. It will never cross your mind to present our own brand of globalism for us and our posterity. This is a race with one contestant. But enjoy the wrath and righteousness of your labels. Your prodigy will appreciate it.
progeny
Them too.
Thanks M G. You say:
And that may be. But what if it was used as a script of sorts for the Event 201 exercise? Or even as some sort of Illuminati code of honor – whereby the plebs were given fair warning.
Or it could be that Koontz dabbled in the occult and had some God(or god)-ordained vision.
Who knows. All I do know is that it happened in a coincidental, or conspiratorial, order.
The more deeply I see into the world at large the more cynical I become in regards to it.
Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJB… “For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
I get to feeling sad at times because of that cynicism. My hopes for humanity diminish but press on we must till God says enough. Solomon, moved by the Holy Spirit, penned those words before the mystery was revealed; Gods plan for all ages, heaven and earth, made known. Progressive revelation, an understanding of the Bible as a whole, not, as most see it, in bits and pieces is what sustains me.
2 Timothy 1:12 KJB… “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”
Learn how to study the Bible. Deep personal joy and peace is available to any and all. Even (especially) while our world burns; artificially or actually.
that Ecclesiastes verse is one that i have been contemplating a great deal lately. Living it really. i state that with humility because i read it in conjunction with the admonition that to whom much is given, much is required . for a long time i’ve been avoiding commenting on this site for a variety of reasons, but now seems as good as any. have read quinn’s stuff long before this website (think it was on 321gold). any way gcp i reject your pre-mil trib position though i used to hold it. Sorry i’m post-mil Calvinist. Regarding learning how to study the Bible, i will throw down the gauntlet. Tell how it was that the dietary laws were dispensed with? And don’t say that Peter had a vision because that ain’t it. hint: the elders were told to ‘test the spirit’… just as we are
Gauntlet accepted gladly. God did away with the dietary laws when He gave the dispensation of grace to Paul.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 KJB… “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”
Don’t apologize to me for following a man and being a Calvinist.
calvinism is just a term to aggregate creeds principles etc. Trust me… i don’t follow any man save one. i’m not sure of any dispensation of grace given specifically to Paul… We’ve always been under grace as you call it.. Job – i know that my redeemer lives. your answer may give some secondary affirmation but it is no different that Peter saying i had a vision… Paul wasn’t the most trusted guy initially and Peter may have just inadvertently ingested a non-kosher meal… no the answer lies in the narrative… more specifically the narratives plural. Look for the two witnesses or three witnesses
“ i’m not sure of any dispensation of grace given specifically to Paul… ”
You are hardly alone, most are not. It’s the last thing satan wants you to know. The Bible rightly divided.
Ephesians 3:2 KJB… “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:”
Big “if” right there! Would you listen to the audio link I posted? Will definitely clear up a whole bunch!
http://www.christianforums.com/threads/dispensationalism-refuted.784813/
It’s a cult.
What is the difference between white-man religion and a cult? Are not master’s thugs held in the highest regard? Is Trump not the chosen one? Could he keep his supporters if he dispatched someone on Fifth Avenue? It is something to behold, the narrative Western mind selecting not merely truth but The Truth.
Who’s our leader?
Let me help you… it’s the King James Bible rightly divided. If that puts me in a “cult” I’ll wear the banner with honor.
Cult: A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
As you show then, the difference is popularity, i.e. fashion. God is a fashion show. I was wondering where you went, GCP. Glad you’re back. I give you credit for independent thought. Most here are too afraid to ‘go there’.
No book is a leader. It is a pretentious power behind the thrown, a narrative symbol that can be awarded. Christians can choose the highest bidder, simple as that. The unit of currency is tingles. And though I respect in a secular way the King James Bible, written by appointed scholars, the Stuarts of England were crap. It’s my understanding the KJB gives the Scripture stateliness it does not have in the original. So many translations in English it’s dizzying.
Mornin Dan….
I read this exchange the other day, but was reading another article earlier today when I got down to a certain part, I thought of this exchange.
“Are you ready to Stand against the Shadows? To expose the darkness by shining Christ’s light into those shadowy corners? Are you willing to accept His leading as you put on the armor of His service? Rather than cower in a corner and bewail the political climate through social media memes, let us rush out into the streets, lifting up His cross and showing His love to all the world.
It’s not to late to stop the Shadowy chaos Magic from re-setting civilization. Witches and warlocks and cult leaders who are enthralled to their Shadowland masters might even stop to listen if you show them compassion and love. It’s a radical idea, but then we who are covered by Christ’s redemptive blood are a peculiar and radical people, aren’t we?”
I’ve only known GCP for a couple years, and met him thru this site, but without question, he is the man who is prepared to “practice what he preaches”. IMHO, his dispensation is sound, but that doesn’t detract from those who may not adhere to it. Those who recognize mankind’s fallen nature and need for the Grace of Christ……and accept it….are already on common ground, or ‘of one accord’

God always knew we would screw it all up but He chooses to love us anyways.
Indeed…!
theologically, that’s known as the eternal decree
Yes, God loves us so much he gives babies brain cancer…

Hi GCP !
I trailed off on ole’ Terry, (talk about a well read man) because of format, not content. After about 6 videos on the second grouping, I just simply lost interest. If, while listening, I lost my train of thought for a second, or wanted to back up a bit to re-listen to a part (or make a note) there was no way to do it……only start/stop..
I’ll check this one out.
I’ve barely began the little book, and will just start over when I get back to it….been short on time (and motivation) lately.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<—-===
Thank you!
I think I took a left turn at Paul long ago when I began to question the stuff I heard in church. Paul is the first of the sinners to repent. The apostles were called but they did not confess any wrong-doing. Paul repented of his sins. He did not collect tithes, but accepted offerings from his own church. He had a job. He fits the description of those who would come later, who would eat and not be poisoned, bitten by snakes and not die. He says, to imitate him as he imitates Christ; he is imprisoned, persecuted, tried in court, escapes assassination.
Yet all they preached in church was the tithe and the temple fund. Well, it wasn’t all but it wasn’t much more than that. I just got tired of it, the show and all.
Geneva and I discussed Paul this morning. We wondered if once he’d been blinded by the light, was it possible for him to choose to remain Saul?
Could he have simply refused to admit what he’d seen on the road to Damascus and continued his life as Saul?
Because she and I both know a lot of people whose lives were changed by the Lord Jesus and within a few days they were drinking or drugging or whoring around again.
What do you think? Could Paul have retained a bit of Saul after all?
Geneva thinks I do a pretty good job butchering bible stories too. When you teach 3-5 year-olds, you really only need a related picture to color and a bit of glitter glue to get their attention.

I hope my attempts to establish cross-blog dialog (we shall call it Diablog) takes hold. Imagine TBP being the place where not only opinions from a wide spectrum of contributors are welcome, but is the platform with launched the idea of a DIABLOG… dialogue between and amongst bloggers, even during bicycle rides.
By the way? Nick’s cousin in Ohio has a motorcycle and blogs his weekend rides.
Also, you should contact my cousin Rusty Henry at Tesoro. He drove a bus for years after retiring to Arizona from Australia. He was a Navy Seal. Aunt Martha is in Prescott near him in a nursing home.

Spanish flu got a foothold in one flu season then simmered on the backburner over the summer months then erupted quickly the next winter. Most deaths came in that following winter.
Now Pat, please, let those who want to ignore what’s happening in China, Italy, Iran, SKorea and the other countries have their say. Those counties are inferior and what happens there is irrelevant. Ignore the dead a(people aren’t dying like in the zombie movies so they don’t count) and ignore how the contagion follows an exponential growth rate.
Let those who’s normalcy bias prevents them from considering much less listening to doctors, virologists and epidemiologists who say this virus is deadly, because, well, not sure but maybe those doctor etc. guys have an ax to grind or are government shills or something have their say.
It’s only the flu and it only kills old, useless boomer types with pre-existing conditions, useless old people who are in the way and sick people who take up space and it’s also created to help the governments hype whatever agenda they are pushing, never consdering that perhaps the virus is like Rahm Emmanuel’s crisis that shouldn’t be wasted, and, most importantly…. it’s only the flu.
Yes, if its only deadly to people over 70, on top of the people with cancer, and those with heart disease, diabetics or prediabetics, morbidly obese, chronic smokers or vapers, then yes, the other half of the US population will just have a case of the flu.
At least it is not Ebola.
Yeah, I hate it when I bleed out of my eyes.

Damn, Big Red has gone to the Covid-19 deniers club.
Wut?
Doug, My ‘never Trumper’ neighbor said to me the other day that the only way that the President can be defeated is if the market tanks. What is really fascinating to me is that he was willing to have his 401k destroyed for this purpose. Judging by the way the MSM and surprisingly some once very responsible alt media sites have glommed on to this faux pandemic leads me to believe that the central purpose of Covid-19 reporting is to tank the market and defeat POTUS in his re-election bid. I can clearly see some other dark motives as well. It is a multi-purpose faux pandemic. Covid-19 is a propaganda pandemic.
If you want to live, stop taking cash !!!
“To reduce the risk of being infected by money, the NGO advised citizens in countries struggling with outbreaks to favor digital payments when possible, the Daily Telegraph reported.
That the WHO is telling the public to avoid cash is hardly a surprise: research has found that coronaviruses have been found to live on surfaces for as long as 9 days.”

More people lost their life from a F3 155mph tornado in TN yesterday. The death count was 22, could rise much higher. Forty buildings leveled/shredded. Prayers for the people of Nashville.
Yeah, that was truly horrific. Nashville isn’t out of the woods by far, many more victims yet to be found.
There are still nearly 40 people missing and the destruction is as bad as I have seen since the ’99 tornado that went across OK for 90 miles.
If the Kung Flu virus has such a high survival rate, why is China’s economic output falling off a cliff?
People are afraid to work.
I believe CDC is incompetent and does not have a test that works.
Both the CDC and the WHO are talking out of both sides of their respective mouths…mask don’t help except medical personnel use them, don’t mention the virus for months after the carnage in China, don’t panic or declare a pandemic (WHO) because, well, because a shit ton of money will be lost if the virus is declared a pandemic.
If you want to find some conspiracies look no further than the CDC and the WHO….
The World Bank has catastrophe bonds that will default if the virus is called a pandemic…almost half a billion in bonds but hey, no conflict or conspiracy there….
“Investors betting big against catastrophic diseases are watching the World Health Organization closely as insurance bonds tied to whether the organization labels COVID-19 a pandemic are set to mature in June.
In 2017, the World Bank designed a new way to raise money: Pandemic Emergency Financing bonds. Over $425 million worth of such bonds, which bet against a global outbreak of infectious diseases and will default if WHO declares the coronavirus a pandemic, were sold by the World Bank in its first-ever issuance of catastrophe bonds. In the event of no pandemic, investors would be paid a healthy annualized return. Meanwhile, the World Bank could use the bonds to insure itself against the risk of a global outbreak.”

Mygirl.
Do you know how tiny a half billion is in the world bubble? Do you know how many dollars the Federales printed into existence and gave to the Banksters yesterday?
The half billion is starter money….there’s more involved. Then, let us look at tanking the stock market and world economies, think that’s what TPTB want? Really? From what I’ve seen the goal is to downplay the virus to protect the global financial system. Those who are pushing panic are the usual culprits and as to the MSM? Well, they ignored it until after the impeachment debacle and now they’re on it because it pulls ratings.
Mygirl.
You’re combining topics to make a point. I said a half billion is chump change and even if it’s just starter money at 100 to 1 it’s only 50 billion. More chump change to them.
What they want in the near term is a crapshoot. What they want in the medium and long term is known and they are getting it.
Mornin Flea…
I thought about that too, but went ahead and posted a link to mintpress about those pandemic bonds because of it being a Whitney Webb piece. That half billion is microscopic in the world bubble….but then I thought of Hunter Biden types and maybe a payoff of a few million to the WHO Head…..ya know what I mean?
Might simply be more obfuscation, but I don’t think it’s ever really about the money with these LPTB……..they are after control….

Majority Of Coronavirus Deaths Reported Outside China For First Time Since Outbreak Began
So here’s another question:
Given COVID-19 is as highly contagious as claimed, and given that it started (and has a huge head-start) in China, and given that China is the most populous nation on Earth, why is the mortality rate outside China now surpassing the nation where the virus first started?
How could that be?
Is it because the Chinese have quarantined better? Because the Chinese have a superior health system?
Or, as speculated in my piece above, is the testing and reporting all FUBAR?
Just curious.
Is it because the Chinese are lying about their internal situation? I’d say yes.
It looks like NWO-sponsored experiment to kill dissidents. Government selection will reformulate the Chinaman. If their factories have stopped, then either the starving will be an opposing arming, or they were intended to die all along. We await hindsight on what China is becoming. I hope for a revolution that stops the assault of ‘Made in China’. I’m sure they would benefit the most.
Are you pulling a Stucky here?
Coronavirus® was the antigen to the protests in Hong Kong
Well, for one thing much of the buzz about the virus started to really take hold during the Chinese New Year, which extended about 2 weeks from Jan 25 through Feb 8. It’s a big deal in China and nobody does much of any work. It always slows down production and importers/buyers in other countries typically plan ahead for the logistical challenges created by CNY. The Chinese have bills to pay too and will go back to work.
From my sources, the typical seasonal shutdown in China for the lunar new year is about a whole month. Here’s some info from this cutting edge site about traffic numbers from Chinese cities now that we’re finally into March:
http://82.221.129.208/.vq5.html
Geez, that would make the factory shutdowns such propaganda. I’ve wasted to many brain cycles on this shit, and I don’t follow it as much as most here.
What about the satellite images showing the cessation of pollution?
Starvation is the spark of revolution.
You are undoubtedly the hunter/gatherer of points to ponder. Nice work. As always, presented very well.
I believe this whole thing is a test run. Anytime a system is being developed – in whatever discipline – there has to be testing and modifications before the end product is rolled out. All the different reactions are being scrutinized; public, media, governmental.
The next one – which might not necessarily be a bio event – might not be so pretty (petty?) and easily unveiled.
That’s my general prediction, not detailed.

I always wonder about the Qui bono aspect of things. Never take anything at face value because there are always too many agendas out there and too many people who crave power, wealth along with those who have something to hide and are blackmailed and bullied or otherwise co-opted.
I understand not wanting to think that this virus is much of anything or that it’s a creation for pushing agendas, too many wolf cries out there for easy acceptance. Then again, I think about a room full of snakes, most of the snakes are harmless but mixed in is a rattlesnake or two. How many people are going to enter that room (non-snake phobic people, that is) with impunity?
Satan’s followers are legion
They planned and studied Charlotteville Riots. The Vegas Shooting was obvious black flag. No doubt they are getting good at ‘crowd control’.
While I tend to prefer the training manuals the US Navy stores online for technical data, I have always liked the Army’s presentation of strategy and rationale at FAS.org. If you wonder if there really is PsyOps ongoing and how they operate? Unless it is classified, and most aspects of PsyOps are not classified because the military likes to hide things in plain sight. It is the best way to maintain plausible deniability.
I am not suggesting this is a PsyOps, but since the term is out there, I think it might be useful if we all understand exactly what a military PsyOps is and how the best laid plans of men and mice never end up nice.

Psychological operations…have proven to be indispensable…it allowed us to apply a type of power without necessarily having to shoot bullets. Colonel Andy Birdy, Commander, 1st Brigade Combat Team,10th Mountain Division, during Operation UPHOLD DEMOCRACY in Haiti
5 ROLES OF PSYOP
• Influence foreign populations by expressing information subjectively to influence attitudes and behavior.
• Advise the commander on PSYACTs, PSYOP enabling actions, and targeting restrictions that the military force may execute.
• Provide public information to foreign populations to support humanitarian activities, restore or reinforce legitimacy, ease suffering, and maintain or restore civil order.
• Serve as the supported commander’s voice to foreign populations to convey intent and establish credibility.
• Counter enemy propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, thus denying others the ability to polarize public opinion and organized counter campaigns against the United States and its allies.
The mission of PSYOP is to influence the behavior of target audiences (TAs) to support U.S. national objectives. PSYOP accomplish this by conveying selected information and/or advising on actions that influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of target audiences. Behavioral change is at the root of the PSYOP mission.
PSYOP creates dissidence and disaffection within the ranks (sounds like tactics a few folks around TBP are skilled at, doesn’t it?)
By U.S. policy and the PSYOP annex to the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP), product approval authority for PSYOP can be no lower than the CJTF. It is impossible to segregate the impacts of military and nonmilitary PSYOP.
Inherent in the force structure of PSYOP is a unique analytical capability. PSYOP Soldiers, enhanced by contracted native linguists, bring an in-depth knowledge of the culture, language, religion, values, and mindset of TAs within a country or region of operations. In addition, the strategic studies detachment (SSD) of 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) (4th POG[A]) augments this capability with civilian regional experts.
PsyOps Command History…
https://www.usapova.com/commanders-of-the-4th-psyop-group
Appendix B: PSYOP Support to Internment/Resettlement Operations
Appendix C: Rules of Engagement
The ROE reflect the requirements placed on the military by the law of war, operational concerns, and political considerations when the situation shifts throughout the full spectrum of conflict. ROE are the primary means by which the commander conveys legal, political, diplomatic, and military guidelines to his forces. Operational requirements, policy, and law define ROE. ROE always recognize the right of self-defense, the commander’s right and obligation to protect assigned personnel, and the national right to defend U.S. forces, allies, and coalition participants against armed attack. Well-defined ROE are enforceable, understandable, tactically sound, and legally sufficient. Furthermore, explicit ROE are responsive to the mission and permit subordinate commanders to exercise initiative when confronted by an opportunity or unforeseen circumstances.
Disclaimer: I do not know if this Pandemic itself is a PsyOp, but there is a vast disinformation effort ongoing and since TPTB never let any crisis go to waste, I wanted to put this here for people who want to peruse the PsyOp document can do so. I find Chapters 4 and Appendix B and Appendix C to be interesting, as well as the discussion of the laws which supposedly govern and restrain PsyOp activity in this country. Pay close attention to the phraseology.
The beauty of military documents is that they are all organized the same way, by statute and standards, so I KNOW what sort of interesting stuff gets tucked away in Appendices so no one really pays attention.
Sorta makes a fellow think of the old saying about if, it walks like a duck, farts like a duck, sounds like a duck, you get the picture.
I one, have little choice about my being infected at some point. So-ooo I think I will ride this out and use a practical approach to staying healthy and enjoy life.
Your healthy scepticism is an absolute necessity in the land of make-believe.
Still, I am glad The Evil Fuckers decided not to use Ebola or Marburg for this round of induced hysteria for better control and some experimental population culling.
I have along with many been saying from the beginnings panic/govt. actions ect. would cause a lot more damage then the actual virus.More folks died in the years after the Black Plague then the plague itself.
As for powers that want to be using this to further a one world govt.,well,fight!We have seen world wide a huge push back to this nonsense,need to keep at it though.
To add to #2 on the Dean Koontz novel: researcher Larry W. Taylor obtained a copy of the original 1981 novel (under the pen name “Leigh Nichols”), and in the 1981 original it was NOT the “Wuhan-400 virus from China,” but the “Orky-400 from Russia.”
It seems when Koontz later printed the novel under his own name, it was changed to the “Wuhan-400 from China.” Now how, and why, THAT happened would be interesting.

I suspect that all this hype on the coronavirus is a distraction to what is really going on in the background and at the same time is preparing the people for a ramping up of government control over our lives. Except that this control will be short lived because of the coming death of our money system.
Your analysis of the facts regarding this virus is indeed correct. The people are being bamboozled into a state of fear for some as yet unknown purpose. The sad part of all this is that it shows us the spiritual deficit in the minds of the majority of humanity that is causing them to believe chicken hawks over their own common sense.
I sense something wrong is happening. Something that is really going to disrupt our lives and our normal routine in this country and no doubt the world.
The stock market is taking a serious downturn with wide swings not at all normal. These gyrations are causing alarm in the financial sector. Then we see that China manufacturing is way down which we are told will produce supply disruptions here in america. Increasingly people are now beginning to hoard medical supplies and toilet paper.
Then in the middle east war is becoming a real possibility in Syria that could involve our military confronting the Russian military. This in itself should be dominating the headlines yet it isn’t. Why?
It looks like the old world order as we know it is over. What is coming is the running down of order into disorder. Our institutions; like over ripe fruit, have turned rotten. The second law of thermodynamics is indeed at work in the running down of our civilization.
I saw a lofty tower extending from earth to heaven; its golden crowned summit reached beyond the clouds. All around it black night reigned and thunder rumbled.
Suddenly the heavens opened, a thunder-clap shook the whole earth, and lightning struck the summit of the tower and felled the golden crown. A tongue of fire shot from heaven and the whole tower became filled with fire and smoke. Then I beheld the builders of the tower fall headlong to the ground.
And the voice said:
“The building of the tower was begun by the disciples of the great Master in order to have a constant reminder of the Master’s teaching that the true tower must be built in one’s own soul, that in the tower built by hands there can be no mysteries, that no one can ascend to Heaven by treading stone steps.
The tower should warn the people not to believe in it. It should serve as a reminder of the inner Temple and as a protection against the outer; it should be as a lighthouse, in a dangerous place where men have often been wrecked and where ships should not go.
But by and by the disciples forgot the true covenant of the Master and what the tower symbolized, and began to believe in the tower of stone, they had built, and to teach others to so believe. They began to say that in this tower there is power, mystery and the spirit of the Master, that the tower itself is holy and that it is built for the coming Master according to His covenant and His will. And so they waited in the tower for the Master. Others did not believe this, or interpreted it differently. Then began disputes about the rights of the summit. Quarrels started, Our Master, your Master, was said; our tower your tower. And the disciples ceased to understand each other. Their tongues had become confused.
You understand the meaning here? They had begun to think that this is the tower of the Master, that he builds it through them, and that it must and, indeed, can be built right up to Heaven,
“And you see how Heaven responded?”
THE TOWER
This is where we are today in the 21st century. I am not confused by what is happening right before our eyes; and yet, the majority are confused. We have built a stone tower in our governments and it is about to be crashing down upon us. Seriously look at those running for political office or in office now and ask yourself: Do any of them have a spiritual bone in their body?
The insanity we are witnessing is the collapsing of the stone tower we call government.
I kind of like your parable. In effect, we have begun to worship the president as a god of some sort when all he is is a person holding an office for a short while.
Maybe we should all just ask THE”Q” what to do and think.
Excellent article. What really bothers me is this:
Except what makes this latest remarketing of coronavirus different than 911®, Weapons of Mass Destruction®, and The War on Terror®, is that, this time, the Alternative Internet is on board – even to the point of citing Orwellian Media sources.
TBP, SLL, and Lew Rockwell seem to be among the few sites that regularly post articles that are counterweights to the hysteria. I can’t recommend highly enough Bill Sardi’s articles on Lew Rockwell (most of which have been reposted on SLL). He has been both skeptical and sane, and asks a lot of intelligent questions. Importantly, in a world in which we’re bombarded with bacteria and viruses, he talks about the importance of our immune systems, which is the real “front line” of defense against them. He also makes common sense recommendations on how to bolster your defenses.
I don’t know what’s happened to Zero Hedge, but they’ve swallowed the Kool Aid big time. The alternative media lives—and dies—by its skepticism to establishment narratives, but critical faculties and skepticism have been put on hold for this “crisis.” Some of the sites pushing the hysteria the hardest may never recover if this proves to be manufactured and over-hyped, which I strongly suspect it will be. They’ll go the way of CNN and MSNBC. A lot of prepper sites are pushing this for all its worth, and I suspect, because most of them are trying to sell something, that it’s worth a lot to them.
This article will get posted tonight. Great work.
Perhaps Zerohedge hasn’t swallowed the kool-aid at all and those who refuse to acknowledge the virus are hiding their head in the sand. All those who want to ignore the virus should do so, go ahead and lead your life, don’t prep do anything differently because it’s only hype and only old people get it. We get it, your exalted position insures your immunity.
But please, get off your high horses and quit sneering at those who have a concern about said virus, you know, the old, the afflicted with pre-existing conditions, the not wealthy and those who have to work with other people for a living. We can’t all be young and beautiful and healthy like certain self absorbed, self-righteous and special bloggers, ok?
Mygirl.
Please. We are arguing against hysteria which by the way lowers the immune system of old and young alike. We aren’t telling anyone to become an Ostrich.
Somebody here may be older but nobody has more pre-existing conditions than me. When I go all day without my heart pumping backwards it a holiday. Iv’e suffocated to the point of near death so many times I have near death PTSD. So what. I’m far more likely to die from arguing with Zionist heretics about the False doctrine of Dispensationalism than I am from this It’s not a virus, virus.
Flea: I grasp the hysteria concerns and heartily agree with them. When you get the Raconteur report that, in the beginning was a ‘just wash your hands, it’s only a cold’ site to now where he’s telling people they’re idiots if they don’t take the virus seriously you kinda maybe have a sense that this is more than hype?
There has to be a happy medium reached and the tone of what I read in this article is not pushing for a happy medium, it borders on condemnation towards those who have concerns and it condescends toward those folk. I don’t read ‘have a healthy skepticism’about the virus, instead I read that said virus is a hype that’s being used to manipulate and control for nefarious ends.
Always the same conspiracy stuff and never, ever an acknowledgement that the virus has essentially destroyed the Chinese economy and how that will affect the globe.

I think you are not nearly as ditzy as EC said you are.
Thank you, Robert. If the other sites don’t care to post my articles, then people will just have visit sites like SLL & TBP.
And all I would ask (out of my appreciation to you, administrator Jim Quinn and the digital guardian known only as The Man With No Name) is that people would support the sites both financially and via daily visits; if only because they’re awesome little digital airport bars on the ideological cutting edge of the ethernetic blogosphere.
Those of us who are on the interwebs looking for good information realize how important it is to support the blogs and the bloggers, especially the rare find that is TBP, where Jim Quinn gives just about ANYONE the opportunity to say what they think and think what they say.
Think about that… there are many blogs on the internet where your opinion will just be deleted without anyone explaining the reason why. On TBP, you not only can comment, but if you put in a bit of effort and feel you have something to say? You can email it to [email protected] and he will probably post it unless it is drivel. Hell, he’s posted some of my drivel. Most of us contributing here now started by emailing enough essays to Admin that were at least legible he granted posting privileges. I truly admire his commitment to maintaining an open and honest process here in spite of continuing obstacles to the kind of free and open speech platform TBP represents.
If you don’t realize the value of being able to comment here and share information cross-blog and across blogs? Trust me, in this disinformation age, such a thing is worth at least 20 bucks and then some. But, surely it is worth 20.
Yep, this virus could not come at a better time. Just in time to disrupt Chinese manufacturing so the US can start bringing the jobs back. Just in time for the elections to give Democrats a fighting chance against Trump.
Just in time for the changing of the pope to deflect attention from his various gaffes. Just in time to save Uncola from a ratings slump.
Just in time to help southerners acquaint themselves with soap and acquire the fine art of handwashing.

Is it the beans or the chiles ?
Mexicans don’t use soap? Pshaw. I was in a laundromat in Ft. Worth in a mostly mexicano neighborhood, I watched as the ladies poured in enough soap to make suds that crested to the top of the washer and then they would take shortened broom handles and push the laundry down so more suds appeared.
Zote soap is made in Mexico, ditto lots of other laundry soaps and detergents. Said detergents come in powdered form, in plastic bags with baby seals on the label.

My friend from Kentucky married a TexMex named Rangel out of San Antonio and told me she’d never been so thoroughly hot, sweaty and completely satiated in her Blue Moon over Kentucky life and she’s the one who told me she’d screwed dozens of men and never knew some of their names. She was a pretty little sassy gal everybody in AWACs loved. Some of the men in more ways than one. Particularly, Airman Rangel, who had what it took to hold her.
I’m assuming they were a matched pair.
Uh, I take a shower twice a day whether I need it or not. I think we inherited the greaser slur from people back east. My wife calls me Speedy Gonzalez (I don’t know why) so I don’t imagine I will be tapping Kentucky Blue Moonbeam McSwine any time soon.
EC.
Right. First it was the Puerto Ricans and Dominicans because they would load their hair up with hair cream and slick it back. About the same time the the rock and rollers were doing the same thing but didn’t get called greasers till the hippies started calling non hippie types that as a put down. My class pictures from the late 50’s and early 60’s are an embarrassment.
Vitalis and Brylcreem….a little dab’l do ya
I have a very interesting picture of her I could be persuaded to share.
Last I heard, she rode off on the back of a Harley and left those two adorable little Mexibillies with the Rangels in San Antonio when her soon-to-be ex-husband was in Desert Storm.
What is funny? I tried to talk her into giving me that adorable little boy. She had named him Alex. Just a coincidence, but I adored that little baby boy. I’m glad she left him with the Rangels. They didn’t like her one bit, but they taught her to make some good tortillas.
That sounds callous, but if Teresa formerly Rangel is out there? I got you and realize you did the best you could do for those kids. They are probably very happy and a lot better off.
Maggie.
She probably would have done the same over a biker had one given her the look.
Hos gonna ho and only a foolish cuck would marry one.
And, Maggie outs airman Rangel’s wife as a world class ho.
A First Class World Class Ho, Me Hoe.
Lol you crack me up EC. Your satire is a unique blend of poetry and halitosis. ?
Kaufman was hilarious
Democrats are criminal and delusional by nature.
Democrats are getting no additional rope to hang themselves with.
They’ve been “cut off.”
This is probably just a coincidence too.
This video is talking about Ebola in 2014….and the game plan (from a 2010 Rockefeller document) fits perfectly with the scenario being played out now with Coronavirus.
Speaking in 2014, the investigative journalist in the video says that if there were “wide-scale civil unrest, you’d see an Ebola outbreak in America, right away.” Reminding of civil unrest in Hong Kong and then the Coronavirus outbreak…?
May give a head’s up to where all this is headed; or, where TPTB think it is headed. God might have his own plan here. The Bible in the only real truth we have.
And note–in their own words–once the scenario’s lockdown occurs and the pandemic is over, the rights will NEVER be given back [Length: 14:54]:
Some folks can’t handle the truth.
Sir Uncola,
If the Chinese are now really running out of U.S. Dollars as manufacturing and shipping of goods for Dollars is stalled, or significantly curtailed, then this is mega big unintended consequence for the world, looks like.

The conspiracy loop is an unending trail of clues that confirms that there is an unending trail of clues. The clues will continue to accumulate and age long after interest in them is lost. The conspiracy will continue only when the so called experts again pick up the now cold trail and show us where and how we erred and missed the significant twists and turns. New characters will be added and their ties that bind them to the core will be explained. One only needs a plausible motive, not even a good plausible motive, to propel forward. Conspiracies seem like cheap entertainment, yet they steal time and thought, instill mistrust and fear and anger. To those that follow each clue, I wish you well and hope that you each solve your mystery.
Anon,
I get that. Boy, do I get that.
But those who have one eye on their destination has only one eye to see where they’re going.
And…
The question then is, which is the absurdity? Is it the original narrative or the second, which often implies a conspiracy? If I keep one eye on each explanation, I have no eyes left to carry on with daily life. Un, you would have been a fabulous hunting dog with your nose to the ground. I admire the tenaciousness that requires so much oxygen that it mirrors hyperventilation. “Driven,” also comes to mind when I read what you write. The analogy is the hunting dog hot on the trail of a rooster pheasant vs. the dog that come upon a covey of Hungarian partridge. The trail of a bird, maybe two, is manageable. Twenty little birds doing a Chinese fire drill will often make a dog stop and make eye contact with their owner. It is a dog’s WTF moment, and one we can all identify with.
Just a reminder that 2,942 people in America died from DEATH yesterday and an equal number will die from death today.
The first article Admin posted about this THING I said “How convenient”. Now Trump and the Banksters will get off scott free from the collapse that was inevitable. And it will provide a stealthy way to usher in Martial law by quarantine. Medical Martial law because outright martial law is too messy at present.
The problem the NWO was having was that nobody panicked at first and it didn’t spread fast enough so they had to help it along. They made sure somebody in Washington State caught it because it’s full of Hipsters and other queers who panic easily. They immediately declared a state of emergency to set the precedent. A friend says they will impose nationwide lockdown state by state to avoid too much warning. I agree.
Fear, Panic, and hysteria are “Their” friends, not ours. All three weaken the immune system and prevent clear thinking and will not change the real lethality of this THING, only the perceived lethality. If you’re on TBP and haven’t prepared within reason considering your financial and physical situation then Shame on You.
How is old RBG doing these days. The covid-19 reaper should be looking for her to put her head above the berm. If she should survive this pandemic, then I want what she is getting for health care. Heaven knows we are paying for it under this wonderful system of evidence based medicine.
O.T
Forgot all about her. She’s probably pleading with Daddy Satan to nominate big Mike in the hope that if she won she won’t have to do this for another four.
Mike just dropped out. So if there is an election it looks like it’s going to be Biden. Sheesh, what a shitshow.
Meanwhile at Trump rallies people are cheering when he calls for negative interest rates.
We have the government we deserve.
Mary Christine
I missed the negative interest rate thingy. This whole world has turned itself into one heck of a horse and pony show. I have run out of popcorn and beer. I need to take a break so I can go to the store for supplies. Thanks for the hit up side of the head.
Mary/O.T.
Big mike is Michelle Obummer. Bloomers is little Mike.
Oops! I forgot about the other Mike. I was thinking big because if his money.
Either way we are doomed.
Mary.
Yup. The only safe way out of this is a Divine DNA change. The scorpians were not allowed to harm the ones with the Lords mark.
You mean nod out and drool on the twins. With big mike pulling out it would appear that she may have to do another 4 years.
The will hire a taxidermist to stuff her and prop her into her chair, gavel in hand. Who will know the diff?
Flea: agree wholeheartedly with the prepare business. Too much time and energy is being spent on trying to decide if this thing is real, a hype a conspiracy, whatever. Trying to decipher the morass of misinformation is a waste of time.
The facts are that the financial markets were teetering long before this virus appeared, ditto for governments and controls. China being in the economic toilet is a very BIG DEAL.
The Chicom economy has been slowing for quite a few months and this beer flu has come along at a very good time to bring them to their knees. Is this a coincidence or a planned event?
TN Patriot
It could be the whole concept of a one world order is feeling the pressure, who knows? What does seem to be real is that the international money changers are stirring the caldron for profits and control. At best we are all working with only bits and pieces of information hoping to find a solution that makes sense.
This is an excellent discussion.
The most important thing that I’d try to emphasize is that profit and control has been the motivation of the PTB for the entire history of our country.
I am concerned that:
1. Strategies for population reduction is a REAL idea amongst the PTB.
2. Strategies to maximize profit in America are either military or health related schemes.
3. Natural and man-made crises are taken advantage of by our gov’t+big bank business PTB at all times.
I hope you are right and then control system is amping up the theatre. I haven’t noticed anything but a lack of hype, so maybe I am not watching the right glowing rectangles? I feel like they are setting America up for a maximum profit event, up to and including infecting as many folks as possible, to sell as many tests as possible.
FOR SURE…getting us to move toward cashless transactions in our economy has been an ever present idea pushed on us, and they will definitely use this crisis to push us further that direction.
They have definitely been messing with these viruses for a long time, and I as a biologist worry often about hubris and blind ignorance driving this research…nevermind outright sinister motivations that might be behind any research into weaponizing viruses.
I do hope you are right and this is just a natural variant. Maybe it started highly virulent and deadly and has since mutated already to a less deadly variant. Of course, a high mutation rate can work against a virus of this kind as well should the gain of function be quickly mutated away again as it moves through the world.
Be well and thanks for your post,
jay
Jay,
In your bike video you state that the virus is man made, you cited several sources as proving that said virus came from Wuhan. Have you changed your stance about that?
Welcome aboard, JC.
Thanks, Doug. I hope you’ve had a chance to at least take a peek at the bike riding biologist and his friend who apparently spent time at both Harvard and at a Big House.
But neither of them are affiliated with the federal government.
He had me at: “a Ted Gundersen motivated old school conspiracy guy”.
Personally, I’m more of a mountain-bike type of guy, but, sometimes, I like to wear my bike helmet when blogging here. It just feels safer that way, ya know:)
You had me at g-nite.
J.C. I hope you see what value I’m alluding to when I say we need to keep the cross talk on blogs and between blogs going.
Thank you so much for jumping right in. I told you not everyone here were dumbasses like me.
You’re at the top of the list in perspectives, and read like it’s a fence post talk…..
It’s interesting to me, both definitions of propaganda refer to ’cause’, with the second relying entirely on it…
cause:
NOUN
a person or thing that gives rise to an action, phenomenon, or condition
a principle, aim, or movement that, because of a deep commitment, one is prepared to defend or advocate
VERB
make (something, especially something bad) happen
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum <<—-== a principle, aim, or movement that, because of a deep commitment……
As a side note, the cable news is droning in the background placing DC politics above Black Swan Flu, and the enter web headlines are pretty much 'foods gone and millions are gonna die'………….
As for me, I sometimes forget to look both ways when I cross the street….
“Although a 2-3% mortality rate is nothing to sneeze at”
How about 5% to 8.5%? Which is what the Korean data suggests as the CFR. With this disease, highly infectious, with no prior exposure of the populace, I realized last week that the CFR and mortality rate will be nearly identical.
The Chinese numbers have no connection to reality. If the numbers didn’t show a sharp drop in cases, people were going to be shot. Naturally, the numbers dropped. Nothing actually changed.
The Chinese likely had about 1.1 million cases and between 13,000 to 22,000 deaths at the end of February, based on the South Korean data. What the Chinese are actually doing suggests they are still having a serious problem, and things will be getting worse for them – no matter how much they falsify their data.
Now, I’m not seeing hype from the press. I’ve watched them downplay this disease for two months, lying about every aspect of it and attacking anyone not selling their bullshit, with the presented information getting slightly worse every day, slowly easing people toward the truth. The news media is confronted with a problem they can’t lie their way out of or ignore, and much like the Chinese government, this is completely new to them.
@ AC,
Here’s another perspective that someone embedded into the commentary (for this article) on Zero Hedge:
The COVID-19 Hype Train: The Catalyst for the NWO Transition
With R0 of 7.8 (presumptively suppressed to 3.9 as of mid-February), a 5% to 8.5% CFR, and 90% infection rate, the Chinese are looking at between roughly 60 million to 100 million deaths by some time in June.
This article is making the same mistake other have been making. It is comparing the absolute numbers of the moment, rather looking at the rates.
The article is deliberately ignoring R0 factors and conflating morbidity with infectivity. Additionally, the flu numbers are often conflated to….are you ready? Get people to get vaccinated. Yup. The same fear that the author claims is affecting the Covid 19 numbers are also used to create fear in order to get people to vaccinate for the flu.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/vaccine-safety/the-cdc-influenza-math-doesnt-add-up-exaggerating-death-toll-to-sell-flu-shots/
Yup, and doctors and nurses always treat flu patients in full hazmat gear, flu season always gets those Chinese to build not one but two extra hospitals, flu season gets people to drop writhing on the streets as happened in China and is now happening in Iran, Italy and SKorea, the flu always causes hospitals to be horribly overrun with pneumonia patients needing lots of specialized ICU care and treatment and the flu always causes China to quarantine over 2/3 of a billion people while shutting down 90% to 95% of their economy.
Yup. It’s only the flu, keep telling yourself that….
It seems to be emerging that there are 2 strains of the virus….. One that is far more serious than the other.
This may explain some of the wonky numbers coming out where in Italy and Iran seem to have high mortality rates in their numbers more than some other places.
It would explain a lot, IMHO.
I always love it when people use fancy filler words like wonky. Admin never does that and I miss fluffy overblown language.
‘Horseshit numbers’ works in a pinch.
Just ask Mitt and the 2012 Republican players club:
http://mileswmathis.com/vote.pdf
How about “catawampus?”
I had everything all planned to go, but things went catawampus.
I propose a week of coinage. Let us be frivolous in our text. We can be higher than highfalutin. We don’t say ‘wonky’. We say ‘antidisestablishwonktarianistic’ and ‘wonksterbative’. I know I feel better.
2 strains,one much more potent
I assume the Copywrite for all of these is held by the same folks – the DEEP STATE?
How stupid are you?
Do you think the Chinese government would quarantine 50 million people, seriously harm their economy and disrupt the global supply chain for a hoax.
As an aside, I am a Licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine who studied in China during the mid 80s.
I understand the Chinese as well as any Gweilo can, and the author of this article is either a fool or has an agenda.
We’re all fools on occasion but I seriously doubt Uncola is receiving a monthly check in the mail for the shit he writes (and doesn’t write) like the paid-n-professional disinformation columnists here area.
@ 22,
If someone were sending checks, then someone else is cashing them. ?
Doc asked:
In my piece, there are three
plausiblepossible (albeit speculative) reasons why that question could be answered in the affirmative.Sucks to be isolated in rationalism, don’t it?
Since we know the Chinese would murder 50 million of their own people and live under a voluntary feudal serfdom in the middle of the 20th century in order to consolidate their grip on power, I think they might be able to pull something like this off just for shits and giggles.
For a hoax? Seriously? A hoax to maintain or gain power. If there is one thing we know, the Chi-Coms play to win. I must respect government officials who not only jail the domestic enemy based on cultural distinction but also bed the women of that domestic enemy.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7647865/Muslim-wives-forced-sleep-bed-Han-men-husbands-detained.html
Sometimes I think the Chinese are superior to us.
“Do you think the Chinese government would quarantine 50 million people, seriously harm their economy and disrupt the global supply chain for a hoax.”
Quarantine 50 million? No, but under Mao they murdered 45 million over a 4 year stretch for the hoax of socialism/communism. Go back and write to tell us how it all works out.
They have people shouting from their apartments to the VIPs walking around, that everything is fake. They had cops attacking people for being out in public. Others were picking people up off the street, supposedly because they were infected.
And what if it’s true?
There is a counter argument to everything you posted.
Roll the dice And wait to see who was lied to this time and add them to the list of jaded grumpy old farts that just don’t give a damn about anything anymore.
I don’t know what the truth is on Covid-19, but I do know pneumonia can be quite serious.
Two years ago, my husband was diagnosed with pneumonia. He is fairly young, 40s, quite active at work and home, and a nonsmoker. In April, I took him to the doctor and he was prescribed doxycycline. He progressively worsened. During the next month, I took him to 4 other seasoned doctors and twice to the ED – he was prescribed other antibiotics, none which worked. I finally took him to an UrgiCare, and he saw a doctor that had just graduated medical school. After looking at my husband, the doctor couldn’t believe he was still walking. He set up a test to have some of the fluid drained from my husband’s lung and tested. The thick green blood-streaked fluid was disgusting to view. (I now understand how people can drown on body fluids.) As we waited for the test results, he continued to worsen. The young doctor admitted my husband to the hospital. He was placed on heavy-duty antibiotics and hooked to a suction machine -tubes were placed between his ribs going into his lung. The CDC / infectious disease became involved and questioned him on where he worked, who he had been in contact with, etc. After 4 days in the hospital most of the fluid had been suctioned off, and my husband had surgery. The surgery consisted of going into his lung and scaping the rest of the infection from his lung and flushing the lung with an antibiotic. His lung will never be the same. When the humidity is high or his lung thinks he overexerted, he struggles to breathe. He now has to use an inhaler. I was able to get 2 extra inhalers last month. The insurance wouldn’t cover the extra months, and I had to pay full price. For peace of mind, it was worth it.
As for prepping, we live in flyover country. Due to the elements, state residents are told to have 14 days of food and water on hand. Some people have more than a 14 day supply and some don’t.
I went to Walmart and Sam’s Club, last Saturday. It appeared people (roughly 75,000 pop) are taking Coronavirus seriously. People had carts full of toilet paper and paper towels. The shelves holding emergency food were empty at Wally’s. I’d never see that before. At Sam’s the shelves holding the large bottles of hand sanitizer were completely empty. I plan on picking up a few more stock-up items this Saturday and will see what the shelves look like then.
Thank you for the information and the different perspectives. I wish you all the best.
Dragonfly: so sorry to hear about your husband’s struggle with pneumonia. It’s a miserable disease and often life threatening. I’ve had my bout(s) as well and it is NOTHING to take lightly. I am dismayed with those who want to pretend that pneumonia is no big thing, especially when they’re endeavoring to downplay the seriousness of this virus, which, often causes pneumonia.
My lungs are permanently scarred as well, I have a nebulizer that I keep on hand should I have a bad episode.
BTW: Hand sanitizer gel is mostly alcohol. Get a spray bottle and some alcohol 62% or higher and your’e good to go. Some people go so far as to add it to aloe vera gel to make is seem like it’s hand sanitizer. Hydrogen peroxide will also work.
Yes, the virus can cause pneumonia, and I wanted to let the readers know the seriousness of pneumonia. I didn’t mention that my husband came home from the hospital with a PICC line. I had to flush the line three times daily and inject antibiotics twice a day for a week.
If the virus continues to spread, the sick may not be able to receive needed treatment as a surgery.
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/03/04/coronavirus-san-jose-good-samaritan-hospital-surge-tents-influx-cases-covid19/
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had pneumonia and have had to deal with it more than once. I hope you’re able to get extra meds/albuterol? for a just in case situation. It’s better to be prepared than not.
I’ve stocked up on rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. 🙂
I wish you the best, Mygirl!
Back atcha and your hubby Ms. Dragonfly
serious question because I’m not a doctor, I am an ignoramus:
Is it true that flu viruses allow for the growth of streptococcus in the lungs, and when lungs and overall immune system are degraded this allows for infection by pneumococcus bacteria?
I read it somewhere. it could be total b.s., but if it were true then why not start flu patients on antibiotics?
Flu can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Antibiotics only kill living organisms so they would work with bacterial flu, but not flu brought on by viruses which are genetic material girls wearing protein coats. You can’t kill them. All you can do is wait for them to die while hoping all life will not be sucked out of you first.
Yes, that’s why one hears the descriptor “viral pneumonia” sometimes.
Poser, I would like to see your Ignoramus degree, was it issued by a certified institution of learning? What did you major in?
How could a degree in Ignorance be issued by an institution of learning?
I had a dual major in a. General Ignorance; and 2. Ignorance to the point of Imbecility

Points well made Doug. The more we seem to find out about Covid-19, the less we then seem to know. Time to go to hide and watch mode.

Good catch. Thanks Rise

Eight, ten billion or even a trillion won’t be enough. This indiscriminate killer virus is a global problem threatening every nation equally, thus it will take the melding of all global governments to defeat this murderous microbe . To secure the survival of humanity, victory over this viral death sentence will require the institution of a one world government . It’s the only way mankind can be saved from total extinction .

China went live with 60 GHz 5G in November 2019 and the virus appeared in December 2019 or maybe earlier. I heard one South Korean reported saying it was November. Are these deaths all really from a virus? Or was a virus let loose as cover-up? Why is no-one talking about this? All the virus hot spots went for the Chinese 5G. See the YouTube. The BEST NEWS re CΟRΟNΑ VΙrus you’ve heard all month! Kinda
Lu.
I linked several excellent articles and videos about it but not much interest. Look up Robert david Steele.
Lu, you just might be on to something with 5G. The frequencies change DNA.
CO2…
Who knows? Uncola posted a link to a video I was looking for (he had posted it the other day and I couldn’t find it), that discussed the 5G effects.
Then, I sidetracked and started in on another video posted by Diogenes about a ‘David Goldberg’. Uncola responded to him a couple times with info that peaked my interest a bit more, so I did a quick search of project pogo/zyphr (this may be the same link Uncola had posted):
I hit another link on the above page and it led to:
Coronavirus: An Alt Media definition
Coronavirus: A highly contagious and deadly virus that is put on super-steroids whenever and wherever they flip the switch on 5G … while amping up the flu vaccination programs … and chemtrailing overhead with toxin-laden aerosols that further trigger influenza symptoms.

200. I win, Magoo!
This is Aesop’s recent posting on corona virus…
1) Two people in this county were confirmed positive for Kung Flu today. Didn’t hear if they were the ones who came in our doors last week, or from somewhere else. Can’t decide which answer would be worse.
2) Did a tour of the local boutiques.
WallyWorld Megastore:
Bottled water: completely effing stripped to the bare floor.
Hand sanitizer: All gone. Dust bunnies on the empty shelves.
Masks: You missed that boat 2 weeks ago, and they’re never coming back.
MH freeze-drieds in the sporting goods aisle: bare wall.
Antiseptic wipes: Gone.
Nitrile gloves: a couple of boxes left.
Canned tuna: maybe 10 cans left, total.
Dinty Moore beef stew: ditto.
TP: Took a serious ass-raping, but some left. Bigger packs gone, smaller quantities still available.
Bleach: hammered, but a few bottles still available.
Isopropyl alcohol and Hydrogen peroxide: single digits of each left.
Curiously, the beer aisle and the ammo cabinets were still full; priorities, I guess. Also, even though the water was gone, there were tons of powdered Gatorade, lemonade, Kool-Aid, etc. For those who haven’t done it, drinking plain water day after day after day gets damned old, fast.
Hand sanitizer was totally gone from Target, Home Depot, Office Depot, and three large-chain drug stores. If Purrell was dynamite, you couldn’t find enough in the entire county to blow your nose. And as noted previously, masks of any variety are unobtanium.
HD had huge displays of disinfecting wipes, gloves, and bleach by the entrance.
Office Depot had a pallet of bottled water just sitting there. Costco and Target had none.
Batteries of all sizes plentiful most places. Ditto 1# propane cans.
Nobody appeared to be panic-buying at Costco, and things were average busy at dinnertime.
And from morning to evening, not a single clerk at any store had any idea that Italy has basically tapped out of Europe today. I had a hospital in-service during the day, and when I told the ER docs on duty, they about freaked out at the news, knowing that the shitball is just gaining momentum.
Anybody still betting on this being a nothingburger?
Just curious.

staying anon, but … yes
“The only thing to fear is fear itself” FDR 1933 on Radio concerning Depression.
It’s beginning to look to me that this will be more like the Spanish flu then anything else, only worse.
Dude what news are you watching? All I see is a cover up. I do not see ANY of the things you are describing about the media Hyping this Covid-19. CDC is DROPPING the ball and NOT testing people that should get tested. This virus has been gene edited and had AIDS and SARS injected into it’s genome.
Without a doubt the Globalists will use this virus to;
1. Depopulate
2. Steal our cash and wreck our economy to cover their evil deeds
3. make a ton of cash on ineffective vaccines and medications
4. Steal or freedoms and change everything for the worse
THIS IS THE 4th TURNING!
Fake viruses need not apply.
Ignore this at your own risk. If you can’t see this for what it is I feel very sorry for you.
The people that ignore this will;
1. die from a man made virus
2. die from starvation when they are force quarantined and run out of food
3. die from the totally ineffective / toxic vaccine
4. die from the cytokine storm that attacks their lungs and heart.
5. Get sick and recover and never realize how lucky they were.
OR
See this as a weapon of the globalists and bolster their immune system and live to fight the globalist dogs another day. 70-80% of us will probably get this virus. The ones that have the food, water, and proper vitamins, herbs, and other methods of treating this can and will survive. Those that think this is anything less than a depopulation agenda will depopulate.
Good luck.
“This virus has been gene edited and had AIDS and SARS injected into it’s genome.”
Do you have any proof of this claim?
I keep seeing people say it, but that’s not proof.
HFC.
Dr. Paul Cottrell on Hagman Report. 2/17/20 “Covid19-Slow rollout of a new 9/11 medical patriot act.
Cottrell says the HIV strand was grafted to act like a grappling hook in the lungs to make it more contagious and lethal.
A test-run if anything. But let’s hope not, because that would imply something worse to be unleashed in the future.
Sigh…here are some articles referencing the HIV gene sequence spliced into the corona strand…
“When looking at the genome sequence of the new coronavirus, also known as 2019-nCoV, Professor Ruan Jishou and his team at Nankai University in Tianjin found a section of mutated genes that did not exist in Sars, but were similar to those found in HIV and Ebola.”

Then you have the Indian study that first discovered the HIV strand who were made to retract said study because it didn’t fit the narrative. They have been exonerated by two other labs listed in the above article.
“We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV-1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature. This work provides yet unknown insights on 2019-nCoV and sheds light on the evolution and pathogenicity of this virus with important implications for diagnosis of this virus.”

Are you sure they didn’t mix some Ebola and Lyme in there also?
At least the lyme would go good with the corona.
@ Mr. Anderson,
Oh, it’s the Fourth Turning all right. There is no denying that. And COVID-19 could actually be the Catalyst as defined in Strauss & Howe’s book.
But, Dude, there is no cover-up in the mainstream media. This, from NBC from today:

Terrifying.
But COVID-19 as a depopulater? Not even close. At least not in its current form.
My guess is that as soon as flu season ends, our concerns will be focused on other issues -perhaps even those deriving from the current reactions to COVID-19 that we’re seeing now. These are very real, and for reasons I’ve speculated upon in my article above.
Time will tell sir.
I do not believe this will kill as many as the “Globetard”s would like but it’s much more deadly than the flu. I am far more concerned about our “Gubments” response to this virus that they are purposely allowing to spread. Why would they do that? More control maybe? Hide their crimes maybe? Make a few bucks off some suckers maybe?
I wish I had bought stock in 3M a few months ago.
Yah. I wish I would have went long on GermX. It would have been a priceless bartering item. Literally.
Well, for those who claim the corona virus is only the flu:
7 Surprising Health Complications From Cold and Flu
Sniffling, sneezing, and coughing are no surprise when we have a cold or the flu. Other complications, though fortunately rare, can be much more serious.
Encephalitis or Meningitis
Encephalitis, a viral induced inflammation of the brain tissue, and meningitis, an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, are rare but very serious when they do occur. “Enteroviruses that are often the culprits in the common cold can cause brain lining inflammation that presents with severe headaches, difficulty looking at bright lights, neck stiffness, high fever, and confusion,” says Wolfe. Influenza can very rarely lead to encephalitis with symptoms such as confusion, fever, and sometimes seizures or other neurologic problems. Viral versions usually get better without treatment, but the bacterial types do not and must be ruled out, so seeing a doctor is crucial. Most people recover, though in some cases, neurologic damage like deafness, seizures, confusion, and memory loss can result.

70-80 infected.
Given 5% to 10% mortality, 92% to 97% of the depopulated population stay alive & kicking. The only way to run out of food under VOLUNTARY quarantine (won’t be no other kind for me) is via totally unnecessary hoarding by sheep led by fearmongers.
97% NON-death rate — pretty kick ass depopulation scheme.
Maybe it’s a BIOWEAPON, unleashed indiscriminately on the whole world. A WEAPON, like if you wanted to invade Russia in winter with a single platoon of Marines armed with NERF-bats instead of M-16s.
OMG This site is ridiculous with the ads and other garbage….even worse than zerohedge.
I was going to link people here to read the article but I’ll direct them to ZH (unfortunately for YOU)
Also you make good points in your article, but it needs a good editor to make it more succinct.
You could also lose the big picture at the beginning of your site….ugh….straighten things up please!
You get more than what you pay for.
Put on an ad blocker, dick fuck. And as UX designer currenlty, I love the header. So fuck you twice. Up the ass.
That reply right there should make him feel right at home as if he is at Zero Hedge.
You did forget to call him a hasbara troll.
Thank God you’ve arrived with all the quick fixes to our problems.
Now a ZH article claims scientists have found a new strain that caused 70% of current infections. The L strain.
And the beat goes on.

same as i posted above–
I think I will email the biking biologist a request he consider addressing this on his ride tomorrow.
