BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

Watch out you might get what you’re after

Hold tight wait till the party’s over
Hold tight We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Talking Heads – Burning Down the House

“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

The risk of catastrophe is high during the climax phase of a Fourth Turning. The John Hopkins Covid-19 Dashboard above appears to portray a global catastrophe. We are in the midst of a catastrophe, but it isn’t this Chinese bio-lab virus creating the catastrophe. The catastrophe is once again being created by the Federal Reserve, their Wall Street owners, corrupt politicians, and authoritarian bureaucrats. We are burning down our house with formerly working Americans still inside.

The graphic from John Hopkins is a perfect example of globalist produced propaganda that would make Edward Bernays so proud. There are 7.8 billion people on the planet and the Covid-19 graphic gives the impression 7.5 billion people have it. The entire U.S. is covered in blood red, as if the country is being overwhelmed in disease. Of course that narrative is entirely false.

Let’s put this over-hyped manufactured panic in perspective:

    • .0300% of the worldwide population has contracted the virus
    • .0020% of the worldwide population has died from the virus
    • .2250% of the U.S. population has contracted the virus
    • .0120% of the U.S. population has died from the virus

The current death rate projection in the U.S. is in the range of 65,000. In 2018 it was reported by the CDC that 82,000 Americans died from the flu. Now that their scary models have proven to be worthless, the medical “experts” are now trying to boost the death figures with no proof people died from the China flu. Since the incompetent boobs at the CDC, who told you not to wear a face-mask in March, but now want everyone to wear a mask, still aren’t close to having a method for testing everyone, we know many more people have been infected by the virus with minimal or no impact.

The death rate from this nasty virus is only marginally higher than the yearly flu. But the fear mongering has served the purposes of bankers, politicians, and corporate CEOs. The real catastrophe has been set in motion by the actions of the ruling class. Wall Street, once again, has used this contrived crisis to pillage and screw over Main Street.

I’ve been documenting the progress of this Fourth Turning since its inception, with the Federal Reserve/Wall Street created global financial implosion in 2008. In late 2017, I wrote an article – The Unbearable Slowness of Fourth Turnings – where I was growing impatient with the seeming ability of the ruling establishment to fend off the inevitable consequences of their reckless traitorous actions taken since 2008. It was clear in late 2017 the ongoing conflict between Trump and the Deep State coup crew would eventually come to a head. I concluded the seeming slowness as we approach the denouement of this once eighty-year crisis was beneficial.

This is no time for apathy and complacency. For those who grasp generational theory and the cycles of history, the seemingly unbearable slowness of this Fourth Turning is actually a blessing. The slowness allows more time to prepare. If you haven’t prepared for the coming saecular winter, time is growing short. The skies are darkening. Our rendezvous with destiny awaits.

That was just over two years ago. I hope the few people who read that article prepared financially, tactically, and mentally with the time we were given, because we’ve now entered the dark days of trials and tribulations. There is no avoiding what is headed our way. The mini-toilet paper panic of March will turn into a full-fledged-riots in the street panic when the Fed’s desperate financial flailings destroy our diseased financial organism and the food shelves in your local Piggly Wiggly are bare. Injecting adrenaline into the veins of a patient on a respirator as their vital organs are shutting down is a treatment guaranteed to fail.

But Doctor Fed only knows one treatment, drown the world in debt, creating a tsunami of liquidity. So, the Wall Street shysters have gotten the lion’s share of the $8 trillion Powell/Mnuchin bailout and are celebrating by pushing markets back towards all-time highs, as 22 million average Americans have been tossed into the gutter and hundreds of thousands of small businesses have been purposely snuffed out by this corporate fascist coup.

The tide of negativity seems to have gone out to sea and the financial wizards of debt are probably smoking cigars and drinking brandy in their penthouse enclaves, but the tsunami of consequences is just growing ever larger and when it hits in the near future, the casualties will be immense. My hope is the willfully ignorant finally realize the true enemy and inflict the necessary punishment on the traitorous men who have sold this country out.

A high price for ignoring the risks of catastrophe | Financial Times

My views on trust remain exactly as they were two years ago. I despise the ruling class, constituting the financial mafia family of the Wall Street cabal and their Fed puppets, powerful corporate interests, crooked captured politicians, military industrial complex warmongers, shadowy billionaires, and Deep State surveillance state operatives. Now is the time to determine who you really can trust as we enter a period of vital decisions and harrowing danger.

I do not trust my government. I do not trust the puppet politician front men for the Deep State. I do not trust the mega-corporations who dominate our economy. I do not trust central bankers and their Wall Street owners. I do not trust the fake news corporate media. I do not trust the military industrial complex. I do not trust the leaders of organized religion.

I trust my own instincts, reasoning ability, and critical thinking skills. I trust my immediate family members. I trust some of my neighbors. I trust more of the people I’ve met through my blog than I’ve met face to face. I trust normal people living normal lives across this once great country. I trust the people who distrust the people and things I distrust. As events spiral out of control, we will need to pick and choose our friends carefully.

I can now add anyone from the WHO or CDC to my list of people I will never trust. I trust gas station sushi and movie theater hot dogs more than these people. They have proven to be incompetent liars and whores servicing their political Johns. Both organizations have been funded to the tune of tens of billions and they didn’t see this pandemic coming, didn’t prepare for an entirely predictable event, covered up the nature and extent of the virus, lied to the public about the benefits of masks, produced defective tests, touted death models that have proven to be entirely worthless, and to cover-up their ineptitude and deceit, they are now cooking the books to make the deaths appear higher than facts indicate.

There are now dozens of anecdotal scientific studies, plus the actual results from the non-locked down Sweden, proving the mortality rate is far lower than propagandized by the establishment media and proving quarantining a country has been a disastrous solution.

Of course, it has only been a disastrous solution for you, me, and the tens of millions of other formerly working Americans trying to live our lives, raise families and navigate our way through this bastardized and financialized former republic. It’s true history may not repeat, but it most certainly rhymes. FDR’s famous line during his first inaugural address in 1933 – “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” – has been substituted in 2020 with “we need to fear an invisible virus that is not materially more lethal than the annual flu”.

Decades of government control over every aspect of our lives, which began under FDR during the last Fourth Turning, have weakened our ability as a nation to confront challenges with strength, fortitude and common sense. We are a nation controlled by propaganda – appealing to our emotions and feelings. They have infantilized a vast swath of the population through government school indoctrination and decades of propaganda. Panic and fear are the primary tools used by our modern-day feudal overlords to maintain their wealth, power and control.

FDR used fear to inflict his New Deal upon the American people, prolonging the Great Depression, and putting us on a path towards total dependency upon government bureaucrats and corporate interests that control them. This contrived crisis is being used as a cover for a financial collapse already in progress since the middle of 2019.

Anyone who honestly assessed what the criminally insane central bank saviors of crony capitalism had done from 2009 through 2019 knew their schemes were solely meant to benefit their Wall Street benefactors and the parasites in government and business who profited from promoting the benefits of this engine of plunder. The Fed and their corrupt cronies, as Ludwig von Mises stated many decades ago, had done nothing but delay the inevitable catastrophe which must occur after a Wall Street created orgy of debt financed consumption.

GOP backs Wall Street over Main Street – AGAIN | Woodgate's View

“There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.” – Ludwig von Mises

The world has been led into a global shutdown by inept, intellectual yet idiot leaders who are either incapable of critical thinking or are on the take from the globalists using this faux crisis to enact their long-term goal of one world control. It becomes clearer every day, from the patriotic commercials being run by the mega-corporations, to the left wing bullshit concert on virtually every TV station last night, to the ever increasing stock bubble, and the endless “human interest” hero stories about virus survivors and the overwhelmed nurses and doctors (with enough time to do Tik Tok dance videos), this event is being used to further multiple agendas by multiple bad actors.

If I see another story of fire-fighters driving their fire engines to celebrate some kid’s birthday or hundreds of heroes not social distancing while giving themselves standing ovations, I might puke. How come government workers aren’t being furloughed along with the tens of millions of non-government workers? The truth is 95% of the hospitals in the country are not overwhelmed in any way. In fact, they are underwhelmed and laying people off because their governors declared no elective procedures to prepare for something that didn’t happen and will not happen, other than in several hot spots.

But these power-hungry authoritarians can’t admit they are wrong, so businesses and medical facilities remain shut, destroying the lives of millions. The deaths of 40,000, 60,000 or 80,000 Americans from this virus is a human tragedy. As are the other 2.8 million deaths which happen every year. Their families will rightfully grieve for their souls. Death is a sad part of life which will eventually impact every one of us.

But how many local news stations did 5 stories per night about the 82,000 Americans who died from the flu in 2018? Where were the concerts for them? Did we shut down any businesses to stop the spread of the flu? Did we quarantine ourselves and wear masks? That would have certainly reduced the 82,000 deaths. Why now? Why for this virus? I’ll tell you why. To serve the purposes of those in control of the political, financial and banking systems.

Whether you call them the invisible government (per Edward Bernays), ruling oligarchs, Deep State, or corporate fascist elite, they are using this man made crisis to try and implement a mandatory digital currency, electronic monitoring and tracking of all citizens, imposition of restrictions on speech, assembly, and owning firearms, while eliminating competition from small businesses and permanently impoverishing the masses – enslaving them in Wall Street peddled debt. They increase their already vast wealth to immeasurable heights, while millions of blameless Americans are forced to live under overpasses.

Occupy Wall Street Cartoons | Political cartoons, Wall street, Cartoon

We are plunging towards our rendezvous with destiny. The powers that be will shortly be in the cover-up phase of this overblown fake emergency. What they have done to fend off a nasty virus is preposterous and asinine. It’s like burning down a building occupied by 200 people to possibly save 1 person. And there is no proof burning down the building actually prevented the 1 person from dying.

Precautions taken by individuals with the highest risk, specifically protecting those in nursing homes, and allowing businesses to enact reasonable safety measures for their employees and customers, while the general population developed a herd immunity to this virus, would have resulted in a similar mortality outcome without creating a 2nd Great Depression. Sweden has proved this was the rational course of action. No government solutions, implemented with sledgehammers by authoritarian governors as we are experiencing today, should have been employed. The government at all levels acts as a hammer, and we are all nails to these power hungry drones.

“Human stupidity is more infectious than any other disease.”Richard Feynman

These dreadful missteps, whether implemented due to stupidity, malice, or purposefully, will lead to revolution, war and mass casualties, which will make this virus seem like a runny nose in comparison. Anyone cheering the actions taken by Powell, his bald-headed psychopath prick Kashkari, and the rest of the IYI central banker cabal, reveal their true nature as greedy scum who don’t give a goddamn about everyday Americans trying to survive in this screwed up world.

When the markets hit new all-time highs as unemployment reaches 25%, GDP plunges by 30%, hundreds of thousands of small business owners go bankrupt, suicides skyrocket, poverty levels reach Great Depression levels, and wealth inequality reaches a new all-time high, a tipping point will be reached. Anyone with basic math skills knows the Fed’s blatantly criminal schemes to prop up the corpse of a cancer laden financial system will fail. They are nothing but a delaying tactic so their benefactors can exit with their immense wealth intact. As Strauss and Howe predicted, the coming onslaught of pain will leave the masses dazed, confused and angry.

Pols must choose between Main Street and Wall Street | TribLIVE.com

“But as the Crisis mood congeals, people will come to the jarring realization that they have grown helplessly dependent on a teetering edifice of anonymous transactions and paper guarantees. Many Americans won’t know where their savings are, who their employer is, what their pension is, or how their government works. The era will have left the financial world arbitraged and tentacled: Debtors won’t know who holds their notes, homeowners who owns their mortgages, and shareholders who runs their equities—and vice versa.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

So here we are, still locked down by our government overlords, in the midst of a man made Great Depression, being propagandized by the media to cheer our own imprisonment, losing jobs at a rate of 5 to 6 million per week, and encouraged to report fellow citizens for not obeying the dictates of our rulers. Hey, but at least the NASDAQ is green for the year. So, we’ve got that.

Millions of Americans are extremely angry. Millions of Americans are well armed. They see once again Wall Street and corporate America have been bailed out and they’ve been screwed over. There are inklings of protest and defiance breaking out across the country. This will grow larger and angrier the longer this lockdown continues. When people lose everything they had and everything they dreamed of having, they will turn nasty. And that’s when this Fourth Turning gets interesting.

It’s no longer a decade in the future. It will happen sooner than linear thinking prognosticators believe. All is not well on Main Street, so those beholden to Wall Street should be worried. We are at the precipice of deciding in which direction this country shall proceed – towards an authoritarian centrally controlled surveillance state or back towards a republic where individual rights and liberties are honored and respected. Do we bow down as slaves or stand up for freedom?  The choice is ours. I’ll conclude with the same words I concluded with two years ago.

10 | July | 2012 | Expect 2 Change

There are no guarantees or certainties regarding what happens over the remaining decade or so of this Fourth Turning. Don’t believe God will exempt our empire from the tragedies that have befallen past empires. Debasement and total ruin are not inconsequential possibilities. Hubris, arrogance, decadence, and debt have devastated previous global empires and are present today in copious quantities as the American Empire enters its critical threshold of national survival. There are a myriad of internal and external competing forces which threaten both the status quo and very existence of our nation.

My sole objective now is to become self-sustaining to every extent possible. We now know the answers come not from Oz in the Emerald City but working with our families, friends and neighbors for common benefit. DECENTRALIZE or die!

One bright spot in this world-wide cluster fuck is that there may likely be a culling of the herd. Those in the free shit army and those who think voting will finally provide a happy ending and those who act as members of a herd will perish to be replaced with survivors-winners-individuals responsible for their own actions.

I don’t know that any commercial farm capable of feeding the mass of mouths, including the thousands Congress imports daily from third world shitholes ,can even operate without massive influxes of annual subsidies. And, now Trump is shoveling billions into farm produce buybacks, just to keep the farmers on life support.

The database tracks $391 billion in farm subsidies from commodity, crop insurance, disaster programs and conservation payments paid between 1995 and 2019‡

What happens if Uncle Sugar loses the ability to prop up these rotten carcasses of industry or God forbid, foreign nations suddenly stop buying our debt? There is nothing more dangerous to the social structure of civilized society than millions of very hungry people. Is this what the Beast System wants ? All for some and nothing for the many? Apparently so. But, it didn’t have to be this way.

E.G. I recently viewed this Youtube foodie clip and outside of the unsanitary food practices of this African tribe , what struck me the most was when these tribal women were asked what would they do with money if they could have all they want, and the reply came back , “buy more food.”

This vividly illustrates the importance of food over everything. It is absolutely the power of life and death, thus can be used to either save a population or as a brutal and effective weapon against civilian populations, as the Germans discovered twice, along with Boers , Ukrainians, Indians and Irish, among others.

The Beast System is nothing but a taker and what it gives back, albeit often coated in virtue and oozing cash is death. And, the show is just getting started.

GCP –
Yahshua is His correct name. It is not Jesus. The letter J never appeared in the English alphabet until the 15th century. Our Father, Yahweh is our only Saviour. Yahshua (Christ our Messiah) means YHWH’s salvation. Luke 1:46-47, Genesis 49:18, Exodus 6:6, 2 Samuel 22:2-3, Psalms 3:8, Psalms 18:2, Psalms 118:44, Isaiah 23:22, Isaiah 35:4, Isaiah 43:11, Isaiah 45:21.

This blasts holes in the false teachings of the “Trinity” of three separate Gods- Judeo Churchianity’s Jesus as the only Saviour.

You and others should do your Bibical homework and refrain from pushing the “Jesus Saves” rhetorical nonsense. The usage and printing of the name Jesus in our Bibles was the malicious intent of corrupt theologians and interpreters; Yahshua’s enemies.

And, yes, Yahshua is the person of the Father, Yahweh come in the flesh. And, it is He, Yahshua who will return to establish His Kingdom here on earth. Maranatha!

You folks really have no idea what’s coming if you think you can just little house on the prairie and Rambo your way out of this one and then start you’re local decentralized communities and live happily ever after with all the smart and strong survivors like yourselves of course.

You aren’t going to outsmart the Antichrist or be able to hide from the judgment of God through all this.

This isn’t just a fourth turning it’s the final turning.

The Rona virus is just the opening bell. We’ve not even seen the world economic collapse yet and we are only in round one of a 15 round knock down drag out heavyweight championship fight.

Everyone who misses the Rapture will be under the strong delusion sent by God because of your stubborn unbelief. At that point you will only have two choices for the first three and one half years. Go along to get along or resist and be killed. The next three and one half years will be the great tribulation or judgment of God. Read about the trumpet and bowl judgments in the book of Revelation.

Even if any of you are lucky enough to get through it and survive literal armegedon you’re not starting any local decentralized government’s.
Jesus will be ruling the world from the Throne of David in Jerusalem with a rod of iron and it’ll be His way or the Hell way.

It’s going to happen this decade because the 70th Week of Daniel will begin 7 years prior to the end of the 2000 years immediately following the first triumphal entry of Jesus on Palm Sunday of 32 AD. It is prophesied in Hosea 6:1&2.

The two days is the 2000 years and the one day the 1000 year millennial reign of Jesus that immediately follows Jesus’ second coming at armegedon.

I believe proof texts for this are 1 Corinthians 15:52 KJV at the last trump and 1 Thessalonians 4:16 at the trump of God. Both are the preeminent new covenant Rapture verses that literally have Trump’s name in them. The verses refer to the taking up to heaven of the true believers in Jesus just prior to the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel.

The timing is perfect. God has given us a literal heads up.

Look around you everyone at what is going on all around the world right now. It’s happening right before our very eyes for those that have eyes to see.

Don’t pull that dismissive Karen bullshit on me.
Yes, know the state of your flocks. Yes, be diligent in what is set before you and where you’ve been placed. Yes, use prudence and be prepared for whatever this shitty world throws at you. Yes, faith without works is dead. Yes, do whatever you do as if for the Lord. The focus is supposed to be on Who provides, not on your own self-sufficiency. God helps those who follow Him, not those who follow their own desires. And above all, He is not a piggy bank, Who exists just to give you material things and keep you in comfort.
There’s only about a thousand scriptures that touch on this very topic, from Genesis to Revelation, and every book in between.
James 4, especially 1 – 3:
1; Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasures that war in your members?
2; You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3; You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

Yes, let’s do. The proverb, God helps them that help themselves is biblical, maybe not in context, but certainly in spirit. There’s more, but I’ll leave it at that.

2 Thessalonians 3:10
10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

John 21:6

All righty, then, flash. Let’s see how well versed you really are.
You can judge nothing spiritually except as it meets the standard of scripture. Quote me a verse that contradicts that, and I’ll show an abundance that clearly state that concept. Your examples are so irrelevant to the actual conversation as to be foolish. Taken completely out of context. A simple reading of the events described shows that.

This is taken from the link. There’s a whole lot more, but unless you’re willing to actually search out the scriptures instead of parroting some ‘seems good’ false teaching, it is probably wasted effort on both our parts. Says it as well as I could, though if needed I could expand upon it.
.
https://bible.org/seriespage/lesson-11-those-whom-god-helps-zechariah-91-17

One of the most familiar verses in the Bible is, “God helps those who help themselves.” The problem is, that “verse” is not in the Bible! There is a true sense to that bit of folk wisdom, in that the Bible exhorts us to be disciplined and hardworking in all that we do. To goof off all semester and then ask God to get you through a test is not a wise plan! Diligent study and prayer are God’s means for academic success.
But there is another sense in which the aphorism, “God helps those who help themselves,” goes completely against Scripture. Because of the fall, our human tendency is to trust primarily in ourselves and only secondarily, if at all, in the Lord. Thus we are quick to take the credit for any successes that come our way. We may give a passing tip of the hat to God for His part, but the primary glory goes to us for all our hard work or genius. But to the extent that we fail to give all the credit to God, we rob Him of glory.
When it comes to the matter of deliverance from God’s judgment (salvation), the Bible allows no tolerance for our boasting in anything that we do. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Eph. 2:8-9). “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, … that, just as it is written, ‘Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord’” (1 Cor. 1:30-31).
Zechariah 9 illustrates a principle that runs all through Scripture and is essential for you to understand and apply:

God brings down the proud, but He helps those who are helpless, who depend on His deliverance.

This does not mean that in every situation we sit passively and watch God work. As I said, we should be diligent and hardworking, trusting God to work through our labors…

So refute that with logic and critical thinking, based on what the bible so clearly teaches throughout the entirety of scripture.
Unless all you got is some twisted desire to offend.
Brother.
There’s also a whole lot of scripture about how to treat fellow members of the Body of Christ. But let’s not go there for now, shall we?

oops; Robert (QSLV0

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20“So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
24“Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
26“But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

There are many paths to God may yours not be to difficult !
I have learned one thing about faith in a supreme being , any who proclaim to have the one and only true path to God , Spiritual Enlightenment , Nirvana etc … RUN LIKE HELL !
Pointless rituals and mindless superstitions do not secure you a place in some spiritual after life kingdom .
Much of the worlds religions are simply broken down to simple crowd control . While those proclaiming to understand the proverbial guiding light for your life actually are nothing more then OZ behind the Curtain !
Those head honchos of church’s are generally controlled by big wealthy contributors . Every worship day they preach how your life sucks now but when your dead you will live like the Koch brothers who paid you till$15 bucks an hour till you got black lung or asbestosis and now your on Medicare and disability . Don’t forget him in your prayers he donated a $million to the church a $million to the hospital and a$million to the school .
Of course they leave out he could have supplied you with proper breathing safety equipment paid you $35 bucks an hour and another $30 in benefits and still been a wealthy Prince still supporting faith hope and charity as you could also living a full and productive life !

So you have all the answers and your fact is while the Buddhist , Islamists are all hell bound . Sure many are probably in for a surprise in the hereafter for their actions in the here and now . Far to many religious people I have encountered in my life practice their faith in the church once a week but that’s where their faith and love and care and forgiveness starts and stops .
I do not need a part in making them feel good about themselves . I’m kept busy tending to the trials and tribulations of many of the young people in my family and others .
My faith and belief system has a great deal of patience and perseverance . I need not babble about it and make confessions or testify to the cosmic muffin !
The supreme I place my faith in fully comprehends the fragility of the human condition . The fact that we bow in prayer in requesting direction at critical times seems to please the god l find familiar .

I’ve made the same argument myself, and more than once given links to various well-researched scholars who practically all agree that the Church will be removed, for God’s purposes, not ours, and ALL agree that it’s far more important to walk with Christ every day, than to worry/pontificate about when or if the Rapture phenomenon happens. But N O O O; it’s far more satisfying to sneer and belittle.

“little house on the prairie and Rambo your way out of this one” (Very funny) Thats a good one but your arrogance and snippy pride is going to be brought down low when you begin to understand the Rapture does not occur before the Great Tribulation”. When the 6th seal opens your gonna think you missed the rapture and turn on your God and blame him. These resourceful God-fearing patriots in these comments can and will survive if they believe in Jesus Christ and with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. The gathering of the saints or”Rapture occurs at the last trumpet or the 7th trumpet of Revelation. The believers are spared the 42 months of anti-Christ rule.

Now, what condemns me, in your eyes, if I choose to prepare for this earthly disaster?
If I and mine farm, arm, store, and stay vigilant, what condemns us in your eyes? Did not Jesus, in Saint Luke’s Gospel make reference to: “…selling your cloak and buying(sic) a sword? I have met many people like yourself, committed to a spurious, out-of-context Biblical belief called The Rapture. This is a man-made product. Look it up. And, I have watched it turn many Christians into clueless spiritual clock-watchers. I know my Redeemer lives, and I acknowledge him as my Lord and Savior.

Coffee up to digest this rant please folks, as there are some dots in the banksters system that need understanding. Leverage on leverage on leverage.

Derivative definition.
Can be quickly scanned to get the basics, and skip the grisly details of what the bankster kiddie quants have invented to have more computer thingies to trade for the bonuses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_%28finance%29

This bank derivative issue is very close to blow up.

Americans Are Paying a Tragic Price for Allowing Five Banks to Control the U.S. Economy

Simple explanation is they create a computerized trading thingy out of imagination, and churn it for the bonuses among themselves,
and obviously selling to all the governments and corporations, clipping fees.
The USA banks derivatives are reported quarterly by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, “OCC”, and 72.9% are interest rate instruments,
sold to governments and corporations for covering interest rate risks. The $650 TRILLION in the Gold money article below is the worlds numbers from the BIS.

The data for the USA is in the OCC Report here. Gold is ONLY $79 Million, seen with scroll down to page 33 table:
https://occ.gov/publications-and-resources/publications/quarterly-report-on-bank-trading-and-derivatives-activities/files/pub-derivatives-quarterly-qtr4-2019.pdf
These are what Bankrupted orange County decades ago, as the guy there was a sucker for the banksters selling him garbage DESIGNED to blow up,
and “Rip his Face Off”, for huge profits, as the expression goes.

What must be understood is that D Bank is one of the the leading ring masters for this monetary circus, and ALL, say again ALL, the worlds banks are counter parties to their contracts, and they are totally busted, and EVERYONE knows it. Stock down to $5 from $85 and no help in sight, except what the FED is trying to do through their machinations.
D Bank Counter party diagram from old Zerohedge article.comment image?itok=1CY5Uepj

In 08 melt down Bernanke sent $29 TRILLION out to all the worlds banks, and it is all gone to money heaven now.

This article is what kicked the gears to grinding on the whole issue.
SUPERB work here: https://www.goldmoney.com/research/goldmoney-insights/the-looming-derivative-crisis

Here we are again, as history looks to be repeating. “Those that do not know history……”
“We looked into the abyss if the gold price rose further. A further rise would have taken down one or several trading houses, (BANKS), which might have taken down all the rest in their wake. Therefore at any price, at any cost, the central banks had to quell the gold price, manage it. It was very difficult to
get the gold price under control but we have now succeeded. The US Fed was very active in getting the gold price down. So was the U.K.”

Allowing “non-essential” retailers to provide “retail to go” isn’t opening anything. Who is going to go buy a pair of shoes they can’t try on? Or even view what is available in the first place? Oh and now they open the state parks but you must mask up and maintain social distancing. But we still have road blocks and check points where you are pulled over and asked where you are going and where you’re coming from “papers please”. It’s a freakin’ JOKE that we are opening up Texas. Governor wants and is promising “comprehensive testing” and a “vaccine” before Texas returns to normal… Chip

I just showed my wife the PA statistics because I’m losing my mind with the governor’s decrees. Our county has 67 cases/0 deaths and several state pens that probably make up the majority of those numbers. The county we do most of our shopping has 27/0 with 1 federal pen and the county where I work has 37/0 also with a federal pen.

Most of the north-central part of the state is nearly untouched but the governor continues to clamp down and pronounce more edicts. I’m waiting for something like: all citizens will jump up-and-down on their right leg while patting their head, singing the star spangled banner, and wearing a mask while pumping gas.

Sadly, people are so terrified by government and media they would welcome more edicts from our governor and tranny health secretary.

Yep on all counts. What will begin the slide is the inevitable consequence of fiat money printed and freely distributed into our banking system that now even props the stock market directly (the amazing last gasp of failing economic policies). That consequence is massive inflation, maybe hyperinflation in less than 2 years. All that new CV dough will push the consuming masses to spend even more, that is if the Plandemic hasn’t crushed them already. Made in USA is good but is inflationary. There is nothing more dreaded than hyperinflation because when we get there, its check and mate on Wall Street. Govt will also go broke facing normalized interest rates, or worse. Agencies and programs like SS will be eliminated or deeply slashed. Western Governments have been able to keep the no inflation lie going for years but they can’t keep it hidden forever with their BS cost of living indexes perpetually modified to delay the lid blowing off. Not to mention that almost every “durable” good we buy lasts half as long as it used to…..that doubles inflation alone. This is why debt ridden world govts are beholden to China – they not only buy our debt (with our money) but make cheap crap like nobody else helping to delay only slightly the inflationary costs of skyrocketing debt. Scary times ahead and tho I have tried, cannot figure a happy ending.

Great article, Jim. I think the evidence is overwhelming that the direction Western countries will take is toward an authoritarian centrally controlled surveillance state. With one stroke of the pen, one president/PM/ governor/premier wrote off the liberties our forefathers had fought and died for to the extent that many of us couldn’t even leave our house! This wasn’t even based in law; it was a mere decree! Did people object? No. They cheered their house arrest; they supported the police harassing or arresting people for the heinous crime of walking their dog in a park; they will always surrender personal liberty for perceived safety. When the crisis begins in earnest they’ll run crying to mommy government for protection and handouts; to hell with liberties.

I have been tracking the “projections” for TN for the past 4 weeks. The actual numbers were shown as a solid line with the projections as dotted lines. The first time I looked, “they” were projecting over 5,000 deaths. A week later, they were showing daily deaths reaching a peak of 165/day on April 18, with total deaths of 3,445.

As April 18 got closer and closer, the curve got steeper and steeper. Two weeks ago when I looked, the daily deaths had been revised downward to 25 with a total of 587. This week, another “revision” was made moving the peak to 18. Friday, the peak was estimated to be 15 on April 14 and, miracle of miracles, that was exactly the the number of deaths on April 14 and the new total has been revised to 231.

The only explanation they give for the changes, is they are made to reflect actual cases. In my former job, if I had projected I would sell 5,000 units and only managed to sell 231, I would be given my walking papers. Of course, all of these people were given a task to scare the shit out of the American public and they managed to do exactly that.

True dat! Can we talk about how this “pandemic” is impacting health care. I have cancer my brother in law has cancer and now our treatments are somehow not as “urgent” as they were two months ago!!! WTF!!! I did not know cancer treatment was elective treatment I thought it was treatment to save lives!!! I cannot even see my dentist to fix a broken tooth. This will quickly go from bad to worse as everyone gets fed up with the governors and media telling us to stay home so we do not get COVID. Can someone explain to me how shutting down all healthcare except for COVID treatment will save us???? Things will go from bad to worse unless the economy re-opens fast. Testing??? So do you we all have to get “tested”??? Do the math not happening…. it would take months. As we say in the Navy stand by for heavy rolls!!!!

Dr. Cass Igrams cured himself of cancer with juiced veggies and fruit in large volumes. His collegues pronounced him a goner and he was riddled with it.

There was an article in the Daily Mail (British newspaper) about a terminal cancer patient in Edmond Oklahoma who became cancer free after taking Fenbendazole, an animal dewormer. His veterinarian told him about it. Some of the local farmers around here who have been diagnosed with cancer started taking it after the local vets told the farmers about the off-label use. From what I can gather from informal sources, most vets are well aware that it has been used for cancer self-treatment, but neither the vets nor their animal owning customers volunteer information about fenbendazole being used as a cancer treatment. Dunno if it really works as a cancer treatment, but I plan to buy a supply to hide in the back of a cabinet before it becomes difficult to obtain.

Knew a guy about 25 years ago had an inoperable tumor wrapped around his pancreas; was given maybe 2 months to live. In addition to the chemo treatments that his oncologist recommended, he did the organic veggie juicing, but also coffee enemas several times a day. Was cancer free within 4 months. He credited the organic juicing and coffee enemas with surviving the chemo and beating the cancer. He was still alive and healthy when I last talked to him about 15 years later.

The coffee enemas did not sound like much fun. He would lie in a bathtub with his ass up in the air so he could hold the coffee in for 20 or 30 minutes. The coffee enemas were supposed to dissolve and flush out the toxins from his colon. Guy was following a book called “A Cancer Battle Plan”.

Excellent Admin…..well done.

What would the planet look like if work were just voluntary for extra income? If money is created out of thin air, create $2000 per adult/$4000 per couple each month. Deflation will bring down prices for housing, vehicles etc. so if you want to buy more or eat out everyday, get a paid position to supliment the household.

Already in Russia, measured use of cars is very popular so if you had no need to commute, just rent a car for 30 minutes to run errands . When you exit the car, that’s it leave it where you park it and you’re done (no insurance, taxes or gasoline expenses or repair bills,all included).

You may say….Bea, you’re nutty as a fruitcake, but if you look at it correctly it worked like a Turk for the banking sector and corporate welfare for many decades. We have conjured money out of the air for foreign aid for many, many decades…no problem. After a crash, you have maybe another 100 years before the magick moneyprocess maxes out again….SO WHY NOT GIVE US the free ride. I see no reason to kill yourself butting heads with the jackboots, just lay down on the owners and refuse to be their beast of burden another day. Shit will change REAL F’n QUICK. And don’t start that dribble that it can’t work using funny money for the next 4 generations of Merikans til it goes sideways again. The ugly truth is nobody will have to pay for any of it and we won’t have to pay for this current debacle either.

If you have the need to work, create, compose….whatever, then you would be free to do so. Most of you would admit that sitting in traffic 4 hours a day and getting only a few weeks off per year for 70 years of your life IS NOT LIVING. There is no enjoyment in that kind of existence. Are humans not as important as corporations and banks?

I’m sure all of you tax slaves will down this comment after you flame my behind BUT it’s WAAAAY past time for humanity to push themselves away from the table and say, “NO MORE JELLO FOR ME MOM”.

As we near the apex of this disaster and the self-inflicted nature of it becomes increasingly apparent, it is time to start thinking about what we have done and who we’ve become. This is not to overlook the acts of kindness we have all witnessed, nor the selfless sacrifice of so many. Those things are a natural reflection of man’s inherent goodness. Rather, a peak beneath the thin veneer of humanity on display.

While the state-decreed shut downs are certainly inconvenient, economically destructive and arguably unconstitutional, there is something far worse that has happened in the last 40+ days. We are witnessing the possibly, permanent nail in the coffin of the social order – hammered in by the media and government apparatuses which have bound together to form their own perfectly pathogenic social virus. One that will prove far more deadly than this coronavirus.

They have conspired, wittingly or not, to generate a degree of panic and hysteria the virus mortality rate does not warrant. Hours of daily gov’t press conferences breathlessly and uncritically amplified by the media… A manipulation of data and suppression of competing scientific inquiry… And a ‘Karen’ on every streetcorner and shopping aisle, quick to enforce the new, official narrative that, “this is all for our own good. Or else.” If such an unAmerican thing has ever existed, I do not know. But there are episodes in not too-far-past history that rhyme.

It seems we have finally and fully forfeited that one ethos which made our society different from the rest – the notion that individual responsibility is the arbiter of our freedom. As this ethos applies to the current malady – those who fear the propaganda could have simply stayed home. Those who deemed themselves a high-mortality risk could have stayed home. Human generosity, on ample display every day, would have eagerly stepped up to help provide for those who needed a hand navigating their new circumstance.

Instead, our emotions got the best of us and we’ve all been led down a dark, ominous path by people far too eager to lead us there. We’ve shunned our individual rights and responsibilities and allowed them to be consumed by fear, groupthink and a false sense of security promised to us by our ‘betters’ – the academic ‘experts’, the data-modeling, grant-seeking enablers and the irrationally risk-averse (and some drunk on power) politicians who have led us over the cliff – all with a deprecating smile. Despite the daily exaltations and memes that insincerely proclaim that, “we are all in this together,” we know better. They know better.

What should be relatively certain is that this new, social and political ‘progress’ shall not be undone. America never returns to the ‘old normal’ – that much is in our national DNA. At a time of national, or at least regional challenge, in which people would naturally bind together in shared purpose and unity, we will likely emerge even more divided – socially, politically and economically. While the half-nation of gov’t-dependent workers, retirees, bankers and collectivist cheerleaders applaud the sacrifice demanded upon the other half of the country, the social fabric burns. Not that it wasn’t already on fire, but this virus might as well be kerosene. The only question left is will this fire smolder and turn to ash as have so many former nations states or will it burn out of control?

I don’t believe the numbers on the corona deaths anyway. They’re cooking the books. The directive given the doctors say, “If you even suspect Covid-19 was involved in some way in the person’s death, chalk it up to Covid-19.” Just like George Carlin said, “I don’t believe ANYTHING the gov’t says.

Data – You’re Not Using That Tool Correctly

.2250% of the U.S. population has contracted the virus

You are falling into the same propaganda trap as the mainstream media and government. You are confusing “confirmed cases” with the number of people who have been infected. The confirmed cases is a completely bogus number. At best, it’s some indication of the number of people who have been tested, which is nowhere close to the number of infected. The US was very late to testing thanks to monumental clustrefuckage at the CDC and FDA (way beyond the usual enormous government bureaucrat incompetence and inefficiency). There was at least a month of American fatalities slowly creeping up the earliest stages of exponential viral propagation when there were still no confirmed cases. We finally have some random sampling of various US populations and it looks like there are 10% to 30% COVID-19 positive results. Many more people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 than the confirmed cases would indicate.

.0120% of the U.S. population has died from the virus

The case fatality numbers were under counted at first, again, because the CDC gave no warning and the mainstream media was too busy with partisan impeachment drama. The case fatality is probably being slightly over counted now that New York switched to counting presumed COVID-19 fatalities without testing. Overall, the fatalities are a much more reliable number than the bogus confirmed cases. However, your claim that only .012% of the US population has died from COVID-19 completely misrepresents the very nature of an exponential viral pandemic. People tend to think linearly, not exponentially. The threat is real. The virus is deadly for a small but significant percentage. You’re citing the number of fatalities so far under quarantine and implying that it’s close to all that will ever be. Without quarantine to limit the spread of this disease, there would be 2-5 million dead Americans. I hate that government is using this as an excuse to bully Americans, but if they didn’t, we’d self quarantine out of necessity to stop the spread of this virulent disease.

You know what makes no sense? The huge number of Covid victims lived in nursing homes. You can’t get more quarantined than that. Yet they all got it.

How’d that happen? I thought staying inside saved lives?

And what happened at Rikers? I called that as the perfect petri dish for the spread. The first one was March 18th, it’s been a month in a closed facility with close proximity, no chance of social distancing, poor hygiene, diet, high stress, etc. In short, a population that would give you a very good idea of how dangerous this virus actually was.

As of today no further mention of the situation.

I rarely read an article near enough to the time it was posted to comment. I’d like to bring up the hidden other 1%. From our perspective we are wealthier than any wallstreeter. All of my stocks have fur or feathers. Short maturity bonds are in the orchard and long maturity bonds are in the grove of nut trees. Cash flow comes from the garden ten months of the year and savings are kept in the pantry. We have virtually no need for “money”, the house is heated with wood, power comes from the sun, and water comes from the well. Our children have homes that we built on our land with no mortgage. Our grandchildren are homeschooled and have free run of fields, creeks, and ponds. This whole lockdown nonsense does not seem to have affected the people where I live. The grocery store in town has arrows on the floor to guide flow and I am happy to point out that not one person was going in the direction of the arrows, also no one seems to own a face mask in these parts. I’m sure that there are individuals and enclaves scattered throughout the country that don’t care what the funny money people do because they don’t care (and never have) about pensions, 401ks, portfolios or all of the other synonyms for theft. This other 1% will come through just fine. I’ll know it’s bad when my landline goes dead.

All in the family wasn’t so bad but I understand the approach to comedy in those sitcoms was not situational but rather, slams and put downs with a wink and a nod to the audience, letting them know what the ‘correct’ attitude should be. Things haven’t changed much. Americans hold certain things to be true that people from other countries disregard or find silly.

Papers for one. This land is obsessed with papers from birth to death; marriage license, diplomas, degrees, business license, driver’s license, auto insurance, health insurance, etc. Illegal immigrants sidestep that shit and do quite well.

Everything has its time. After the 60’s – go west young man – kind of lost its novelty. The working phrase now is not ‘tune in turn on drop out’ and it’s not ‘sex drugs and rock and roll’. It may be the correct theme is – get out while you can. The place has been taken over by drag queens and dykes. John Kennedy Toole saw it all too clearly long ago. His hero’s solution was a monarchy. Perhaps that is why Harry and Meghan are establishing a beachhead on the continent.

This ‘crisis is too good an opportunity to waste’ mentality is getting old. Consider the source, said Old Pangloss. That isn’t wisdom, that is a call to plunder. Every crisis only brings out the QE people printing with abandon to hand out to crisis whores coming out of the woodwork. I’m reminded of the Plata sisters of Juarez who said that after their parents had the 25th child, the older kids intervened and told their parents it was time to knock it off. Someday, Americans will tell the bankers that printing money isn’t working for anybody but them, that they need to knock it off. Erecting a few Guillotines might get the message across.

Flea, it’s suspicious that they were going to Canada but moved to Hollywood instead. And William is fronting them some funds to keep them in the manner they have been accustomed to. Why couldn’t Harry sell pillows and blankets like regular new immigrants, or Meghan could make tamales to sell at $1 each? I’m sure if she held little Archie, Angelenos would feel sympathy and buy her tamales.

This ‘crisis is too good an opportunity to waste’ mentality has become as predictable as Negroes grabbing color tv’s during a riot. The only difference is that during a crisis, the bankers grab $Billions. Remember the old days when desperate bankers robbed the treasury with their kids in their arms? Even if they didn’t fit the mold of folk heroes, at least you could feel sympathy for the kid. Now they don’t even use a prop.

She would have to resell someone elses tamales because those hands have only had one job.
According to the Blue blood gossip sheets, Harry is the true Heir because Mommy was a stewart and harry has a different Daddy by way of Di’s daliance.

This is exactly what is happening in this country and around the world. The vaccine pushers like Bill Gates ( a known eugenicist) World Health Organization and US CDC are in cahoots with the globalists and the MIC to usher in their neo-feudal Brave New World. The protests in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina and around the world are welcome sights. They let us know we still have a pulse the propaganda and fear mongering are not working. Yes! What will they do now? Will they unleash the National Guard on us, the police, sheriffs because sooner rather than later the suckers are going to wake up to the fact $1,200 is not going to save them and it’s an advance on their 2020 tax filing that they may have to pay back! When the people discover the banksters an shysters have hoodwinked them one more time it will get ugly because the businesses will be gobbled up for pennies on the dollar and work will be difficult to find, then what?
The preppers were right but for most of us it’s too late, what now? Sites like this are essential, because the monopoly mind control (cable news networks Google, Facebook, Twitter etc) apparatus is suppressing the truth and scrubbing the Internet of alternative content. Sites like this may be the catalyst to wake more people up to take the necessary actions to save themselves and their families before it’s too late!

Let’s put this over-hyped manufactured panic in perspective:
.0300% of the worldwide population has contracted the virus
.0020% of the worldwide population has died from the virus
.2250% of the U.S. population has contracted the virus
.0120% of the U.S. population has died from the virus
The current death rate projection in the U.S. is in the range of 65,000. In 2018 it was reported by the CDC that 82,000 Americans died from the flu.

Surrendered Without A Shot

“clocking in with a week-to-week increase of 200 percent.”

Not to be too nit-picky, but it’s a 100% increase.

But, you know what that means, don’t you?

That is, a DOUBLING!!!

EXPONENTIAL GROOOOOOOWTTHHH!!!!!$@!!!

As I’ve learned recently from a certain genuine experts “who know how exponential growth works.”, this means that we can expect every man, woman, child, trans-man, trans-woman, and “trans-child”(?) in these United States will become jobless by about May 4th or 5th.

Everyone on Earth will be unemployed by June 7th.

Then, the unemployment will spread throughout our solar system consuming Mars the following week, Mercury and Venus the next, and, by the end of June, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and my anus … I mean Uranus.

Depending on how many star systems are in the Milky Way, the super-massive black hole at the galactic center could be out of work by late August (then just a lonely, bored, “Grey Hole” living in it’s parent’s basement playing Fortnite with mustard stains and Doritos crumbs on its weeks-worn galactic t-shirt), and the far side of the galaxy will be without jobs by the following week. Just a week later, and the whole of the Andromeda galaxy will join the queue at the unemployment office.

By Halloween, I imagine the whole nearby local cluster of galaxies could be permanently sheltered in place.

The universe ends not with a bang (not in your ‘rents basement with those mustard stains, anyway) nor with a whimper (well, maybe just a few whimpers) but with an endless void now filled top-to-bottom and side-to side with joblessness and Coronavirus deaths.

p.s. NOT a dig at you, Robert. Rather at the “I know how exponential growth works” crowd of Covid fearporn-mongers who’ve never seen a sigmoid function (sometimes called an S-shaped curve by the unwashed plebes, savage brutes and uneducated parochial retards).

Sad part is all this chicanery is just a shuffling chairs on the Deck of Titanic. Yeah the bailout saved the banks but the bait and switch from shutting down economy has destroyed the oil market. Anyone on the wrong side of trade in futures is getting crushed right now.. And judging by how intertwined the TBTF Banks are in all this, it appears moar than likely that the money already sent was just a parting gift, as the Banksters head for the exit and their extended holiday in the fields of the Hamptons…

Hopefully their plans have a few holes in it…

“But how many local news stations did 5 stories per night about the 82,000 Americans who died from the flu in 2018? Where were the concerts for them? Did we shut down any businesses to stop the spread of the flu? Did we quarantine ourselves and wear masks? That would have certainly reduced the 82,000 deaths. Why now? Why for this virus?”

When I bring this up to my friends and family, they reply “We should have had more deaths, but this is proof that the lockdowns are working!”

I have a few, very few, that are starting to wake up and understand something really stinks.

When gas was $1.53 the day after Katrina it went to $3.89. I said that was their excuse to never allow gas to be under $2.50. I was right until now. Look at the awesome power we, the collective citizens, have over our masters. Unfortunately, few of us realize this is now the time to fight back. Organize, and buy locally only! Stop BS spending on crap made in china that wont last. We found the weak point. We cannot arm ourselves and protest the govt. it did not work in Va. but what has it seems is protesting by car. Simply drive very very slowly all downtown, essentially shutting down the economy. Do it everyday in every city until they listen. They cannot arrest you for driving and obeying the traffic laws. Simply because so many people are there. Driving. Essentially blocking traffic while making traffic. It may become a new way to protest when the economy opens up. We have the power. Notice this. Some times we must find a new method to show our power since showing up in person or filing a lawsuit in a corrupt system wont work. Then we can take down the economy and their tax base. They mad our lives a living hell maybe we can learn something from this.

This grim view is, in my opinion, understated. I am currently overseas and, thank God, still receive a paycheck. I can tell you that this world-wide insanity has been a wrecking ball to countries far less able to withstand it than we are. The damage is beyond calculation and I do not see how it can be repaired in our lifetimes. Why? The ruling class of the country I am in faithfully follows what the U.S. news media says, hates Trump, and falls for every piece of cultural garbage the USA pukes up: sexual degeneracy, socialist nonsense, “diversity”, etc. The poor, mostly decent people here are going to pay a terrible price for the idiocy of these feckless nitwits. So will we.

I like Admin’s reference to our medical heroes making dancing videos while they are supposedly overwhelmed by the corona virus. I almost vomited a couple of weeks ago when I saw such a video of a white female nurse doing some silly dance with a grinning affirmative action case described as a “doctor”. Naturally, it came out of Portland, Oregon, ground zero for such degenerate trash. It was at that moment I realized that this whole crisis was a handjob, though I had suspected it before.

But it got worse. To my utter disbelief I saw that some clever peddler has produced socks with the leering face of Dr. Anthony Fauci on them, as if this doltish fraud is a, you guessed it, “hero”. Somebody out there will actually buy these things and actually buys into this nonsense.

Ditto for the priase being heaped on all sorts of people for their “heroism”. Yes, working in a hospital with sick people can be a nasty job, but it is a JOB. I did a job for 30 years, often under far more dangerous conditions. Nobody ever called me a hero and I would have laughed in their faces if they did.

I am no uncritical supporter of Trump but there is no doubt in my mind he knows this is a gigantic hoax. He had to go along or be damned as a heartless murderer of bed-ridden grandma’s. Poor Trump. Poor us.

Yes, Admin is right. We are hopelessly screwed. I hope you are prepared.

Time to wake up, your messiah is a traitor to America. Yes, he infuriates the liberals, keeps poking them, but did you notice how fast both sides were to sign the stimulus bill? They are the recipients of the majority of that money, not you or the taxpayers funding it all.
He’s a pawn of Israel and the (((bankers))), while giving lip service to conservative America, and you fall for it. How many of his campaign promises did he keep; how much wall is built, how many of the swamp are in jail today???

No, he is not a pawn to the Bankers – the bankers want to shut down small business at bequest of the Globalists and Trump is the ONLY thing standing in their way pushing for Small Business help. Even you have to admit he is no Globalist. You have no alternative but to support Trump at this time, like him or not, if you really want America to survive the Leftist coup unfolding before our eyes.
