This coronavirus artificial panic has left me really feeling deflated. They are capable of making any ridiculous thing into reality. They are in complete control. It is just so deflating, and like we are powerless. Whatever the coronavirus is, it is no more deadly than influenza. Society does not shut down every year because of the flu. 60 million people get the flu every year and we go on. What I am witnessing right now is nothing short of a complete social panic, artificially constructed from the top down. It does not matter that the bug only kills half of a percent. It does not matter that the illness amounts to a few sniffles, a cold. The Panic is real and the quarantines are real and the shutdown’s are real. This is so much bigger than we could have predicted it would be. I am just so disheartened by it all. I am prepared to get my sniffles, I just wish that there was any sanity left in this world.

When you think about it, it is just fear they are selling. That has always been the case. I was a child during the Cold War, and they told us the Russians had missiles pointed at us. Fear. The Columbine Massacre, fake, was used to implant fear in children, just as the Cold War was in my youth. If you read my piece about that event, I start out by saying “Stop being afraid.” Jonestown, fake, was about fear. fear is being used to sell climate change – always something distant and invisible, and CO2 for Christ’s sake, a harmless trace gas. They have such power that they got the EPA to declare it a pollutant even as every classroom in the country has four or five times the outdoor quantity in the air.
The power they have is not new. The virus is spread by means of TV remote controls. Stop using them. Easy to say, but the population is and always has been a herd of sheep. Be grateful you broke free, treasure that freedom.

So glad I’ve broken free. I’m still not sure if it’s even a real virus or if viruses exist. Just not sure. It’s hard to believe anything that the best they can do is show you a cartoon picture of it. From viruses to satellites. My only real world experience would be my kids when they get sick. I have two kids. 14 years of them getting sick periodically. I never take any precautions. I would sleep with them, drink after them, handle snotty tissues. I don’t EVER use hand sanitizer. It kills all the good bacteria. But not once in the last 14 years have I gotten sick because of them. Nor has either sibling gotten sick. My wife maybe twice in 14 years, but really no proof if it was from the kids. If viruses really were as contagious as they say, then they would spread exponentially and could never be contained.

The idea of a “virus” gets very close to the essence of life, DNA and RNA. This is where those who suspect there are no viruses draw their ammunition. With Coronavirus, if you read this paper put up by AB linked below, you’ll see the author claims that the virus is really just a little clump of RNA that is either present or not in people, either does or does not cause any harm to the host, appears and reappears in tests after disappearing. The job of the virologist is to isolate the virus from contaminants, like RNA, so that it can be studied alone under the electron microscope. This is called the “purification” process. This has not been done. Consequently, we do not know what they are testing for, or if people test positive, what they have. What are the consequences of testing positive? Something, sometimes, nothing sometimes. People who test negative have symptoms, people who test positive do not, in many cases.

The Fed is simply monetizing government debt, which encourages even bigger deficits. Also, before anyone brings up the lie about the Fed “lending” money to the government at an interest rate, you should know that the exact opposite is true. The Fed buys the debt from primary dealers in the open market, and the interest received on the Fed’s holdings of US debt is returned to the government every year.

Every year the common cold goes around. It is an upper reparatory infection. They cannot cure it or prevent it with vaccines. I do not understand it. Virologists attempt to pin it on that source, but their work leaves much to be desired. But we are led to believe they have isolated the culprit and developed a test to detect it. I do not believe this. The place to look for dishonesty is in the labs that produce test results. If the “virus” has been neither isolated or purified, then labs cannot possibly be finding it.
Do they send out kits for labs to use? If so, could these kits be rigged to achieve positive tests when no one really knows anything? Do not underestimate the potential for human stupidity here. They can rig elections because the machines they use to count votes are rigged and easily change the outcomes.
I am just blowing hot air here, but I think of all the thousands of people who work the polls on election night, thinking they are doing good work and assuring honest outcomes, while the real business of elections is done elsewhere. Could it be that all the people who are working laboratories and testing sputum are using kits that are rigged to achieve previously known results? That would certainly be part of the scripting if this is a scripted event, to place rigged results in certain places at certain times.
Again, hot air. Really pissed that they canceled baseball. It’s a freakin’ open air event in Spring Training, and for most of the regular season too. Got me where it hurts.

The tests aren’t rigged, but rather (per the paper) arbitrary and meaningless. They do not show any real meaningful result. Being sick doesn’t inherently mean a positive, and being healthy doesn’t inherently mean a negative. The PCR cutoff of 37 cycles is totally arbitrary. Clearly, they are measuring something inherent that was already there. Not a disease that is passed on. I have no idea what people are getting sick with, but something is going around worse than usual. Coronavirus is just a name used to control us. These quarantines and shutdowns are 100% real. This is not a drill. They are going live with something big. The script is written. Heck if I know what is next, and that is why this is so disastrously deflating to me. Society is officially upside down, and the masses are brain dead. It doesn’t even have to make sense anymore. This sure as hell doesn’t make a bit of sense.
Again, when 60 million people get the flu every year do we have a collective freak out? This does not make the least bit of sense, but is being driven so hard from the top that resistance is FUTILE. I don’t see how we can spin a positive out of these latest developments.

I agree. Pretty impressive. Even more than terrorism or “climate,” this is one where dissenters like us are demonized not just by the propagandists, but by the masses. In that way the Virus Crisis is like Sandy Hook….normies think that skepticism is “wrong.”
BUT, to look on the bright side… No-One Trusts the Fake News anymore. That’s WHY they had to bring out the big guns of “deadly global pandemic.” Terrorism, school shootings, Russian interference, etc. People are increasingly skeptical, and even the non-skeptical are unmoved…they just tune it out.
We might view the TPTB “need” to do this now as a sign not of strength, but of weakness.
It is indeed depressing to watch otherwise sensible people get infected by this mindvirus. But the silver lining is that TPTB’s other baloney wasn’t selling so they HAD to appeal to people’s germophobia.
Here are two relevant and well-written paragraphs from Celia Farber. Depressing, yes, but you can see the silver lining too:
“The mass media doesn’t just profit off their relentless terror pollution, they also get to torture you. They get to “own” your mind and soul, inject and project right into it, mediate, frighten, confuse you, cause you to abandon your hopes, as learned helplessness finally sets in. The only good thing about Corona terror is that it gives you a slight respite from climate change terror. Hopefully, you see the never changing pattern: You are but a receptor site for para-governmental transnational corporate demoralization campaigns.
Can you feel what they are doing? They are seizing back what they consider “their” power, back from all the events that stole it from them, since 2016: Brexit, Wikileaks, Hillary’s defeat, Russiagate’s implosion, the international rise of populism, traditionalism, the rejection of radicalism. How did they do it? The only way it can be done: With a “novel virus.” One that could be, as Bill Gates put it so lustily, “…a once-in-a-century pathogen.”

I don’t give a shit whether the imaginary numbers say this is SLIGHTLY more fatal than the flu. The number of unreported cases globally, if we take this to be a real thing, are astronomical. In countries where they aggressively test, they show fatality of 0.6%. Cut that number at least in half to consider unreported cases. You’ll be lucky to have an honest fatality rate of 0.2%. This is on par with flu, which goes widespread every freaking year. People are RIGHT to make the flu comparison. It’s a deadly bug that infects hundreds of millions of people in the US alone each year, and we do not cancel society because of it. People are being subtly nudged, via ridiculous media like the above, to consent to the panic. Manufactured consent.

It’s a test/simulation. They want to see how far can they go. I don’t believe in the numbers, be it the death number or the sick ones. It’s easy to fabricate. All this measures would not help anything if there really was any deadly virus out there killing people. What sense does it make to keep children at home but let parents go to work? What sense does it make to advise to stay at home for 14 days but not all people at the same time. They say, it is to “reduce” the infection rate. They don’t say it is to fight the virus. This is convenient, because if there is no infection rate at all, some day (probably in April) they will just announce that they’ve won and everything is fine again. It’s a similar scare to the atom bomb scare 50 years ago. It keeps people scared from something they will never experience and only know from some media announcements. Well, they are supposedly closing more schools in Germany now. I’m still working as always. They can’t keep children out of school for to long, so this will have to end within a month or so.

Anna, old people are very useful to the system via our health care. They don’t consume much, but they generate lot’s medicare which means bills for doctors, hospitals drugstores, retirement homes, etc. It’s always taxpayers money. Imagine, all this old people would die. How many jobs had to be canceled? Same for sick people. Of course if old or chronically ill persons get cold, they can develop pneumonia and die. But not in the numbers they claim to happen. And the fear from sickness always helps the sickness to develop. Every cancer starts with the diagnosis. People don’t die from cancer but from the treatment.

Well, I have an easy answer to that knowing my country’s (fake) public debt:
They wanna get rid of old people as the government’s tired of paying them pensions. Also, they’re a social burden in terms of hospital check ups, specialist visits, time spent in hospital as patients occupying beds and so on. We have universal healthcare here, but hospitals don’t have great capacity and at the moment doctors are saying that whenever they’ll have to choose who to put in intensive care first between the young and the old with Covid-19, they’ll pick the young ones.
Maybe I’m wrong but I see young people, even children as cash cows for Big Pharma these days: Through vaccines, junk food, smartphone radiations and so on, they get them chronically ill for longer, then they’ll kill them off too when no longer productive.
Keep in mind that many 40+ years old are unemployed in Italy, and can’t find any other jobs so they’ve been on a special social welfare (citizen’s welfare) since May 2019. The 5 star Movement approved this law, it should last until 2021. To do this, Italy had to ask the ECB for more money, that meaning further debt and deficit.
Something I find interesting is that this morning an Italian independent journalist who runs a YouTube information channel, said during an interview to another journalist that the map of the areas most struck by the virus in China, Iran and Italy was superimposed on the map showing the areas where air pollution is major in those countries: They correspond perfectly.

I haven’t read the Crowe paper.. But tests in general, my impression is many of them are only deployed if you come in presenting symptoms. Then, the symptoms plus a positive on the test, equals a diagnosis of some illness.
However, if say 30% of healthy (no symptom) people would ALSO test positive… Or even some tests might have 90% positive in the healthy population… Then you see that it’s meaningless, just a way of impressing the sick patient that they have been “diagnosed.”
LikeLike
You should read it. What that paper leads to is a conclusion that this test is finding something inherent within the human body and not necessarily A transmissible pathogen. Some perfectly healthy people test positive, and some very sick people test negative. The sickest of the people are not any more likely to test positive than the less sick. The cutoff for being considered positive is a completely arbitrary number of Cycles with some people going back and forth between testing positive and negative many times. Basically, it shows that the test is not actually finding what it claims to find. Testing positive might indicate something inherent within the human body. It might be RNA sequences that are inherently found in all of us at a certain concentration. The test intentionally stops searching after 40 Cycles, probably because they do not want everyone to eventually test positive after enough Cycles. This would be proof that we all have these RNA sequences present. It would show that they are not dealing with the actual root cause of the sickness.
As far as I am concerned, the test results can be completely thrown out. Random people will test positive everywhere regardless of whether they’ve had contact with someone from Wuhan. It has nothing to do with a transmissible pathogen. This makes me then question all of the fatality rate numbers and the idea that we are dealing with a real pathogen at all. They probably created a test that they knew a couple percent of the population would inherently test positive for so that it fit into their playbook for this fake media panic with quarantines and canceled events.
I am at the point where I think this is a particularly bad cold and flu season where possibly a few additional pathogens were released to ensure that this would be a particularly nasty cold season and then the coronavirus Panic was long-planned. I am very concerned about what they are actually testing for when they claim to run this test. I do not know why they are interested in these particular RNA sequences, but it could be for a completely different reason and they are in need of testing the public at Large.

Hi everyone. Been following this blog for a while and MM too, but first time commenting. Hopefully I can make some productive contributions to what’s being discussed here and my apologies if my thoughts seem random… I’m going to try to collate a lot of what I’ve been thinking about this “virus” in the past few days into one post rather than flooding the message board with comments.
I will also mention that I am in Anna’s general neighborhood as I am in Greece, so let’s begin with that. The entire country, as of this writing, has fewer than 200 “confirmed cases” and, I believe, 1 death (which could have been from the flu or anything else). Schools and universities have been nevertheless closed since Tuesday. However, life went on as normal. I was out every day… the trains and buses and businesses were just as crowded as always and in my area at least, the local supermarket was well-stocked with toilet paper.
So, what happened? TPTB saw this and they did not like it one bit. So today, right before the weekend and after the end of business hours, they announced that effective tomorrow, most businesses will be closed or extremely limited in their operation. Only supermarkets, pharmacies and bakeries will remain open, and restaurants and cafes only for take-out and delivery. Does that make any sense to any of you? It sure doesn’t to me. But also, libraries will be closed. Archaeological sites and museums will be closed — in a country that relies heavily on tourism. Bars and nightclubs are, of course, closed as well. They haven’t quarantined people inside their homes yet but they might be building towards that, not to mention that now there isn’t a whole lot to do outdoors other than walk around (I believe even parks are officially “closed” though I’m not sure how and if this will be enforced).
The “health” minister, in fact, flat-out stated during his press conference, sitting alongside the government’s “coronavirus czar” (one of the “best and brightest,” Harvard grad of course), that Greeks were not following the guidelines of the state and of the medical professionals (that is, they weren’t “self-distancing” enough and were more or less carrying on as before), necessitating this more drastic action.
That was followed up shortly thereafter by the news that the wife of the government’s spokesman has contracted the coronavirus. And this brings me to my next topic, which is universal: note the very high number of public figures, celebrities, and generally well-known people who claim to have the virus, and place their numbers in comparison with the overall “count” of “confirmed cases.”
So, starting with Greece: we have as of now 190 confirmed cases nationwide in a country of 11 million. That is 0.00001727272% of the population, or somewhere thereabouts. Now, out of those 190 cases, who are some of the individuals who we are told have the coronavirus? We have, for instance, an oligarch by the name of Marinakis (major shipowner, major media owner, owner of the country’s largest soccer club), whose media outlets — even more than the others which are already highly sensational — has been running the fear factor non-stop. One of his online sites published an article a few days ago by a “leftist” journalist, essentially calling for everything to be shut down. Pretty much every article on his sites keeps repeating some variation of the phrase “you don’t play around with people’s health.” The oligarch came out with his “diagnosis” a few days before his soccer club had its most important European match in over two decades. This ensured the match would take place behind closed doors, with no fans in attendance (even though it was going to be a sold-out stadium).
So we have the oligarch. We also have the wife of the government spokesman. We also have the president of Piraeus Bank, one of Greece’s four major banks. We also have a journalist at Kathimerini, Greece’s “newspaper of record,” which is also the official partner of the New York Times in Greece. We also have a journalist at national state broadcaster ERT. We also have a “top model” and major Instagram “influencer.” The first suspected case in Greece came at a private high school where the “rich boys” go to school. I believe the first 1 or 2 confirmed cases in educational institutions both came at the same U.S.-affiliated private college.
So now, allow me to ask everyone here: for a “virus” that has infected 0.00001727272% of the population so far, what are the odds that out of that 0.00001727272% you will have so many high-profile people?
Also, take note that in June 2019, Greece’s penal code was revamped, and a paragraph that was snuck into the new penal code foresees criminal penalties for anyone who disobeys government orders during a health emergency. How serendipitous that they thought of including that in the new penal code at the time that they did, right?
Let’s extend that now to internationally. Someone really should start making a list of all the celebrities, public figures, politicians, etc. who claim to have contracted this virus. Just off the top of my head this list already includes:
Tom Hanks AND his wife Rita Wilson (who by the way were both recently given honorary Greek citizenship)
Justin Trudeau’s wife
The British health minister
Former NATO chief Javier Solana
Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell (NBA stars, teammates on the Utah Jazz)
Lindsey Graham
Those recent CPAC attendees
The mayor of Miami
The wife of the president of the University of Texas (MM’s alma mater!) and another family member
Brazilian president Bolsonaro, although I believe they later took back that one — but some other major Brazilian politician did “officially” catch it — interesting as the southern hemisphere overall has very few cases
High ranking Vatican officials, high ranking Iranian officials, etc.
Various soccer stars on Italian clubs, primarily Juventus, which plays in Turin (north Italy).
You also have Charles Barkley claiming that he has been tested and so on and so forth.
Now, if we look at the stats, worldwide outside of China, we have as of now 60,000 “cases” out of a population of approximately 6.5 billion. That comes out to something around 0.00000923076% — an even smaller percentage than the already tiny percentage mentioned above for Greece. So, what are the odds that out of this 0.00000923076%, you have so many high-profile cases (I am sure there are more, with national-level figures in many countries that may not be nationally known just as Lindsey Graham or CPAC attendees or the mayor of Miami are not likely to be widely known outside the U.S.).
Does any of this add up to any of you? Someone better in statistics than I am could perhaps weigh in, but it seems to me that the odds of this happening naturally are infinitesimally low.
Now, allow me to close out this post with some final things that may be of interest and which may generate discussion. Perhaps Anna from Italy can weigh in as she would know her country better than I would. Here is a scientific paper highlighting the high incidence of “ordinary” flu cases in Italy over a recent five-year period: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971219303285. Reasons are provided in this scientific article as to why the mortality rate for the flu is relatively high in Italy compared to other countries. Could these same factors be contributing to the “coronavirus” deaths in Italy? That’s one thing.
Now, the response I’ve gotten to that is that this is worse than the flu, and that in Italy the proof of this is that the intensive care units (ICUs) are completely full for the first time since WW2, and that the flu never created such conditions in Italian hospitals. Furthermore, we are told continuously about the excellent state of the Italian health care system (this may be the case but I find it hard to believe — in Greece it’s been ravaged by austerity, for instance, and Italy has had economic hard times too, even if northern Italy is the “rich” part of the country). The best response I have seen to these arguments so far comes from here: https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/03/13/italy-icu-wards-are-overflowing/. He may be surmising here but if it is true that even “ordinary” cases of suspected “coronavirus” are taken to the ICU, well, that would fill up those beds pretty fast, wouldn’t it? And that would then create a panic and give the media more panic porn fodder, would it not? So I think there’s something to that.
Something else, also from today, which seems to have flown largely under the radar but which I consider to be significant, though exactly how is as of yet unclear: Bill Gates resigned from the boards of BOTH Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway today (see https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/13/bill-gates-leaves-microsoft-board.html). I am sure everyone here is aware of Gates’ 2018 statement about a once-in-a-century pandemic. That he would resign from these prominent positions during such a supposed “pandemic” is interesting indeed though I can only theorize as to what may be going on.
Regarding the WHO’s rush to declare this a “pandemic,” the arguments that I have seen is that this is a “new” virus and that it has spread to a significant percentage of the world’s countries. Of course, I believe as of a day or two ago, when this declaration was made, 130 of the world’s countries had no more than 10 reported cases, some had zero. We are told that this is some sort of “super virus” that can live on surfaces for hours (isn’t that also supposedly true of the “flu virus” too though?) and can travel far through the air, hence the six-foot “social distancing” (again, wouldn’t that be the case with anything that you could catch if someone, say, sneezes in your direction?). So what is “new” about the “novel coronavirus” and what makes it a “pandemic”? Another argument I have heard is that since it is “new,” nobody has antibodies for it. But if we accepted the standard theory about viruses as fact for a moment, by definition every time we get sick with the common cold or flu, we have been infected by some viral strain that we have not previously been exposed to (thus being “new”) and that we have no antibodies for as a result. So again, what makes this new, or different, or a pandemic?
If we go by numbers alone, official sources (such as https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu) admit that in a given year, there are anywhere between 291,000 and 696,000 flu deaths worldwide. The counterargument to all of that is that “coronavirus has a much higher mortality rate.” The figures I saw for this were all over the map: from 3X more fatal to 50X more fatal. In the past day or two they seem to be settling on 10X more fatal, though their math still does not add up: when they use percentages, they say 3% of cases are fatal whereas 0.1% of flu cases are, which is a difference of much more than 10X. When they just do a comparison without percentages, they seem to have settled at 10X and in one source that I found, https://hudsonalpha.org/separating-myth-from-fact-around-coronavirus, they finally use the figures 0.1% for flu and around 1% for “coronavirus”). However, how do we know what the “death rate” really is if there is no accurate test for this thing. More to the point, does the flu have a “test”? How about the common cold? How do we know that this thing spreads “faster” than the “regular” flu? And if for most people, “coronavirus” symptoms will be mild to almost non-existant, many of them won’t be tested, or won’t be diagnosed. Or it’s possible, as I saw in some of the comments, that these tests just spit out false positives… maybe they have been programmed to detect a certain percentage of “positive” cases. I mean, who knows. Even if the “coronavirus,” or whatever this is (if it even exists) is at some level “deadlier,” even if it a 0.5% rate instead of 0.1% rate, if the numbers remain at the current amazingly low levels (around 145k cases worldwide including China, where we are being told that it is levelling off), wouldn’t the flu, just by raw numbers and casualties alone, be deadlier? Yet that is not what we are getting from the “Official MSM narrative,” is it now?
How do we know, for instance, that this isn’t just one of the annual strains/mutations of the flu that has been reclassified as something “new”?
So back to that “pandemic” issue, it seems that even if “coronavirus” is real in some way, that the WHO has made this declaration based on assumptions and based on surmising or projecting its impact, instead of looking at what its impact has actually been up until now. And here’s some food for thought regarding that: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/425m-in-world-bank-catastrophe-bonds-set-to-default-if-coronavirus-declared-a-pandemic-by-june (note the visual, a photo of some official wearing a useless surgical mask…optics are important!), and a video by Dr. Francis Boyle, who claims that there was/is a WHO facility right there in Wuhan and that it was likely produced there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsyujjitOFM.
We also have the UK mayoral/local council elections postponed for 12 (!) months. Why 12? Why not 3 or 6 or some other shorter time span? https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/03/13/coronavirus-london-mayoral-election-suspended-12-months/.
Finally, if you want to see some real ridiculousness, take a look at a couple of postings that have gone “viral” regarding the coronavirus and its huge danger and how the whole world needs to do what Italy has now done with a nationwide lockdown because “it’s coming and will be SCARY.”
Here’s a long-winded “paper” by someone who has no medical qualifications (but who is a storyteller), telling us essentially to OBEY, and already translated into well over a dozen languages (by who?): https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca?fbclid=IwAR2_Hz_62VqfePOyFYqTvXCdSWigvMSeh-HZZBfJ450Inxg37RkHyZqawqg. Until earlier today, his featured article on his medium.com profile was “How to deliver your funny speech.”
Then we have some British woman, supposedly living in Bergamo, Italy, who went viral for a post of hers on FB (https://www.facebook.com/cristina.higgins.7) on March 10, again basically saying that the Italian example is correct and it must be enforced NOW by other countries. This immediately got her a BBC appearance, while in her most recent post as of the time I am writing this, she references Italian TV La7, writing the following (I love that absurd quote at the end):
“In this 10-minute video produced by La7.it, a television station in Italy, you can hear directly from the doctors, nurses, medical staff and patients who are on the frontlines in Italy battling the Coronavirus. Their words are a powerful testimony of the crisis we are experiencing in Italy, and that many other countries have yet to suffer.
Attached you will find a transcript and translation of the video. If anyone out there has the know-how to put this translation in the video as subtitles, I invite you to do so.
The last interview is with Daniele, a 48 year old otherwise healthy man, who speaks to the Italian people from his hospital bed in Cremona, Italy. If you read nothing else, please consider his words:
“I want to tell all of you who are watching right now that this is not a joke. These new norms must be respected. I got it and I am 48 years old, a sportsy person, healthy, and I don’t have any type of pre-condition. If I got it then anyone can get it. Respect the rules, stay home, don’t go out. I have to say good-bye now because I am tired.”
Perfect, just perfect.
Then we had that British doctor, who posted this long series of tweets referencing what he claimed a friend of his, an unnamed doctor in Italy, was telling him about the situation in Italian hospitals. All panic porn all the time. Then we have this, another friend referencing another friend, a nurse in the Boston area, again with all the usual panic rhetoric: https://www.facebook.com/ali.weinberg.7/posts/10157345924782602.
All of this and a lot of other stuff, all written with a remarkably similar writing style and using the same buzzwords, have gone “viral.” Get it, “viral”? What a farce this world we live in is sometimes.
Finally, as I end this very long posting, I can’t help but notice the very cavalier attitude with which one event after the other, one billion dollar sports league after the other, have suspended or outright cancelled huge events. March Madness? Cancelled, not even rescheduled. NBA season? Suspended 30 days, at the behest of the owners! NHL season? Suspended. In Europe, most sports leagues suspended, including the Champions League and Europa League in soccer and the Euroleague in basketball, plus almost all domestic leagues in most sports. The Euro 2020 soccer tournament (basically the European continental version of the World Cup) likely postponed to 2021. SXSW, that huge convention in Austin? Cancelled. Broadway shows? Shut down for a month. And that’s before we begin to get into the travel industry, airlines, etc., yet other than the “market panic” prior to today’s “bounceback,” I notice a very cavalier, almost casual attitude amongst these industries and their major businesspeople. It’s almost as if they, you know, expected this or something, or got a memo, or have been told they’ll be compensated in other ways. The owners themselves proposed shutting down the NBA for at least 30 days — they’re the ones that ultimately make the most money of all and who presumably have the most to lose. I doubt it’s out of some sort of concern for public health. Anyone remember when Magic Johnson played the 1992 all star game and then had a comeback in 1996? No concerns then?
I close with a quote from Brazil (the film): “Now they’ve got the whole country sectioned off. You can’t make a move without a form.”

Would like this comment a million times if I could. Everything you said is interesting and relevant. I am particularly sickened by the media using the 3% fatality rate when they initially went wide with the panic. This is what the average idiot ultimately heard and why they are so afraid. It is a complete lie. Even in a country where they are “testing” like crazy, they get 0.6%. Even this estimate could only possibly be testing maybe one-tenth of actual sick people. If this really is some distinct pathogen, it is no more fatal than the common cold (<0.1%). I have come to believe that this is the common cold and flu and that we are just looking at a gigantic case of mass hysteria surrounding regular cold and flu season.
The test that they are putting out is not testing for some kind of distinct virus, but is measuring an arbitrary number of Cycles to detect RNA sequences. These RNA sequences do not seem directly related with sickness. They could test the entire global population and it would have nothing to do with whether you had some close contact with Wuhan, a few percentage points would test positive according to these RNA sequence levels.
I also noticed Bill Gates resigning from the board of directors and was not sure what to make of it. I also do not understand why these sports leagues would shut down and forego gigantic profits. As you said, those at the top must have gotten the memo. Trillions were just dished out by the US government quietly covered up by the crisis. Then we have to imagine those who knew the crash was coming and were able to plan a way to profit from it. I am sure that tremendous profits were to be made if they were willing to shut down entire sports leagues to help sell the panic. Those at the top simply gain more money and control, and those at the bottom continue to be overrun by fear (making them more easy to control).
Amazing amazing comment. Thank you so much. Corona Mania 2020 has become such an absurdity. It is an all-time event for me. We need to be fervent in communicating with those around us that they have nothing to be afraid of. Tell them that the fatality rates provided are complete garbage.

Hi Constantine! Nice to meet a fellow mediterranean here 🙂
(Side note: the italian version of your name and Helena are very common on Sardinia Island).
Yours is a very long comment, so I’ll latch on to the things you reported about Italy trying to be as concise as possible (forgive me if I’m not):
1) As of now there are 17.666 reported Covid-19 positive cases, dead are 1266. Hmmm. Will not comment about that 666 and I’ll move on, but make of that what you will.
Italian doctors are testing the dead saying they died of Covid-19, so adding them to the total of cases, which are therefore quickly skyrocketing. But it’s all FAKE of course. Those people were elderlies and people with a damaged immune system who died of pneumonia or other immune deficiency related illnesses, not OF Covid-19. That’s why it kinda looks like we are all sick.
2) So many positive and dead, but I ‘ve yet to find a single person across the country who knows anyone positive to the virus or killed by it. I went to the most famous italian blogs and forums that talk about conspiracies and I’ve asked around and read hundreds and hundreds of comments. Couldn’t find anyone who’s directly involved in this. Hmmm.
3) “The Italian healthcare system is excellent but with this Covid-19 emergency all ICU’s are overflowing and hospitals are exploding.”
Bullshit. Bollocks. Crap. Stronzate. Pick the one you prefer in your favourite language.
Italian NHS used to be excellent until the late ’80s, now it’s mostly average in public hospitals with some exceptions of course, good in private clinics, but ICU’s have been overflowing since the 90s, as the number of ICU’s across the country has been cut down due to corrupt politicians who preferred to economize on health and education, as per usual.
When a couple of years ago my mom had open heart surgery in a private clinic in Bologna that provided ICU, she had to stay herself in ICU for over two weeks as she nearly died after surgery, and I remember very well that they were already having trouble with ICU overflow, to the point they had to move a few of their patients to major hospitals with of the region or even to other regions that could provide beds in ICU’s. So…
4) As for the British woman living in Bergamo and the guy who spoke directly from his hospital bed. I’ve seen them, read their words. Very, very suspicious. A guy in a bed in a hospital doesn’t mean squat, not to me at least. He was told he had Covid-19 by doctors, he trusted them, now he’s recovering and “please tell Italian people to calm down and respect all regulations if they don’t wanna end up in jail”.
The British woman…M16? Am I being too MMish here? 🙂 Don’t believe her anyway, it’s all b ending with t.
5) About doctors and nurses from northern Italy hospitals describing an apocalyptic situation. I’m starting to think some independent italian thinkers are right: all freaking crisis actors.
Where were these doctors and nurses when over 18.000 people died from hospital related pneumonia and other infections due to poor hygiene in the last two years? It was all ok back then, was it?
I’m done for now, will continue later on.

Constantine, what you described in Greece is almost exactly the way it seems to be playing out where I am in north Florida.
First they cancelled the major annual golf tournament in my area (TPC). Shortly after that they announced they were closing all of the schools (indefinitely?). No extracurriculars or sports either. Then yesterday, came the news that all libraries, parks, museums and the zoo are closing until at least the end of March. Churches are almost all closed from what I can tell. Many are now live-streaming services tomorrow.
As of now, most restaurants, stores and some office buildings are still open, although many have cut back their hours, and I think some of the fast-food places have gone to drive-thru only.
The weather here is gorgeous right now, and all that is left is the beach. I hear it’s been packed with people today, and now the rumor is all public beaches will be shut down next.
Oh, and Desantis announced yesterday that he is sending the National Guard to “offer assistance” where needed. Whatever that means.
You can’t make this stuff up. At this point I feel bad for my kids because they’re still little, and I can’t imagine what all the PTB has in store during their lifetime.

Yep. That’s exactly it. It was the warmest day of the year so far here in Greece today, close to 80F in Athens. People took to the beach, and I can tell you, the government did not like that one bit. Now they’ve put up the mayors to shut down the public beaches in their municipalities and the prime minister (another Harvard alum, best and the brightest as always) issued an order essentially shutting down the beaches.
In the meantime, the Greek media, which even during “normality” is rife with articles about how stupid, lazy, backwards, corrupt and inferior Greeks are (fueling a national inferiority complex, which in turn many Greeks swallow and end up believing, creating total inaction and paralysis as they end up believing that all of the country’s ills are their fault and not those of TPTB), spent the day today trashing Greeks for not obeying the authorities and for being “uber Greek” (that is, careless, inconsiderate, selfish, etc.). Social conditioning at its finest.

Thank you guys. Some more food for thought:
It’s amazing how fast the new jargon travels among TPTB and their puppets. Phrases such as “social distancing” and “flatten the curve” that no one had heard of a week or so ago. Also, isn’t it odd that no one wanted to “flatten the curve” for “SARS” and “swine flu” and everything else?
Another one is “self isolation” and that brings me to the point I made in my previous post about the celebrities and public figures who all amazingly seem to be catching this “virus.” Has any of them actually exhibited any signs of actually being sick? Of course, if they are supposedly in “self-isolation” we wouldn’t know one way or the other, would we? And wouldn’t “self-isolation” also be a great opportunity for some fake deaths, if they saw the need? Would sure ramp up the panic factor too, if someone’s beloved Hollywood star or some big politician “died,” wouldn’t it?
In addition, if you follow this database daily (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html) you will notice some strange things, like how the number of cases seems to suddenly “explode” in certain countries and stops entirely in others. For instance, Spain is now the country that’s exploding, much more than Italy. China has slowed to a trickle. Norway has been at 996 cases for at least two days now. Total difference between yesterday is about 2-3k cases, worldwide. Real pandemics don’t work this way. They don’t explode one country at a time.
In fact, if you look at that database above, all of Canada, a vast land, has 198 “cases” as of this moment. 198 cases and one of them is the prime minister’s wife? What are the odds of that? Talk about being in “the wrong place at the wrong time”! Amazing. And doesn’t some other Canadian politician also claim to have the virus? Some odds those are.
Re: Italy… maybe Anna can help us here. A posting I saw on FB from an Italian page showed Italian police yesterday in Greece, in the mainland border region next to Turkey, helping Greek police there with the migrant influx at the border (another fake issue, I believe, and a diversion… Greece’s sea routes remain wide open now as they have been for 20 years now, for anyone to come in no questions asked). In any case, whether it is a real or a fake issue, what are Italian police doing in Greece right now when their country is supposedly entirely on lockdown and they have police at every major intersection making sure no one is violating the quarantine? How does that work? Shouldn’t they require maximum manpower for that and then some? Until today, flights between Italy and Greece were operating normally. Shouldn’t they have been recalled? It makes no sense at all.
Could Anna also tell us what is really going on in northern Italy as far as the quarantine? I read that even with the nationwide lockdown, the measures are strictest in the northern regions and that everything is shut, even supermarkets. Is that true? If so, umm, how are people getting food? Does the government go door to door distributing rations? Funny how all those FB posters that went “viral” on social media with their descriptions about how serious things are in Italy and how we all need to do the same thing and lock everything down don’t give us this info.
Prediction: in a few weeks or months we’ll hear data about the drop in emissions & what a positive “green” effect this all had.

“It’s okay to panic, do what you’re told, obey.”
The script writers are always ham-handed and overly didactic. You can just HEAR the writers’ voices there, not the actors. The LAST thing an American trapped in an overcrowded Italian hospital in the middle of a dangerous epidemic, would be talking about is how great “authorities” are!
At MOST, such a person might say, “I hope this doesn’t happen back home in America,” or “hey, people, take your vitamins, get some sleep, wash your hands.” But they would NEVER say, “I beg you all to panic, listen closely to politicians, do whatever they tell you, and eagerly embrace the new concept of social isolation.” LOL.
This is exactly like the fake parents of child victims of school shootings. Instead of justifiably hating the “shooter” or mourning their kids, they almost IMMEDIATELY start going on TV demanding “common sense gun legislation” targeted at semi-automatic weapons and “long guns” even though MOST gun deaths are caused by handguns. The pushy writing and acting always gives the game away–these are not grieving parents and they don’t care about REAL gun violence (gangs, handguns); these are shills propagandizing fear to promote the disarmament of law-abiding citizens.
This also reminds me of the Boston Marathon Bombing Hoax, where “authorities” tested the concept of ORDERING an entire city to go on “lockdown” and “shelter in place.” And even though there was NO precedent for that, the city eagerly complied and a new precedent was set.
This whole concept of social distancing makes no sense. Getting rest, staying hydrated, eating right, and washing hands are 10 TIMES more helpful than…avoiding sporting events. Has ANYONE caught this from….being sneezed on?! From 6 feet away? At a sporting event? No!
They are, among other things, testing the ability to ORDER people to go into “lockdown” NOW based on….news media reports…regarding potential FUTURE respiratory infections! And the fact that the SICK are dutifully echoing the government line on the merits of “social distancing” gives the game away.
It’s like “while I was intensive care, a new concept was rolled out….”social distancing.” I didn’t hear about it because I was sedated, but….it’s here in my script, so, let me just say, it’s AMAZING and ESSENTIAL and everyone just HAS to do it! Take it from me–a real live “coronavirus” patient!

Some facts about the “viruses”:
So-called viruses do not eat or drink, have no metabolism with which to change anything or generate energy, no secretions, no defecation, no activities, no nerves, sensors or (electrical) nerve energy, no reproductive faculties nor, in fact, any qualities of life whatsoever. Thusly, what are called viruses are indeed dead organic matter consisting of genetic and chromosomal RNA and DNA encased in a protein capsid, those capsids being identical to the capsids of the genomes within the many thousands of life units called mitochondria or organelles that populate every human cell from a few hundred up to 30,000 or more.
As genomes, so-called viruses are merely the genetic patterns for entitative organisms with all the qualities of life as in bacteria, mitochondria, (organelles) fungi and human cells!
These genomes from cellular nuclei and mitochondria are, in fact, the genetic patterns for mitosis (cellular and mitochondrial division and replication), for mitochondrial protein synthesis, for mitochondrial sugar use (glucose combustion or conversion through oxidation) and conversion into body energy through the medium of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and a myriad of other life processes.
When Koch’s postulates shot down the bacterial explanation for disease, the medical/pharmaceutical cartel, with a vested interest in disease, as opposed to health, erected new scapegoats called viruses to be fought with drugs, thus selling their nefarious products. Just as readily as they shot down the germ theory, so too, do Koch’s postulates impale and discredit the viral theory of disease causation.
No research or experiments have ever been reported where so-called viruses were tested according to the criteria of Koch’s postulates.
Lifeless genomes do not and cannot invade cells as reported and photographed. What has been photographed are cells conducting eating processes called pinocytosis or phagocytosis wherein they absorb for recycling breakdown debris from disintegrated neighboring cells that have expired.
Statements that so-called viruses, without any life qualities, or any ability to move or maneuver, attack cells, seize positions, inject themselves into a cell, command a cell, infect a cell, program a cell, wreak tremendous damage or in any manner perform any act or in any way cause any result are inherently absurd. The living organism always acts and causes results favorable to itself. Only pure chemical unions from chemicals (poisons) pose a serious threat. Dead materials are always acted upon! Only the living organism does the acting. The very statement that „viruses” attack when they do not have any faculties for movement, propulsion, assault or offensive action, and have no energy or capability for any activity at all and have no equipment for damaging anything at all, is sheer fiction.
So-called viruses are in fact, genomic cellular debris, the cytomegalovirus having been the genomic nucleus from an expired cell. Most so-called viruses are the genomes from the several hundred up to 30,000 or more mitochondria inhabiting a cell, the population of the cell being determined by it’s specialization and function.
By far the preponderance in number of so-called viruses have been genomes in the trillions upon trillions of mitochondria or organelles which comprised the living units of the hundreds of billions of cells which expire daily in the human body. Some so-called viruses are called cytomegaloviruses, meaning they are „big cell viruses.” In fact, these monstrous sized viruses, comparatively, are from the nucleus of a cell which is larger in itself than several thousand mitochondria combined. Other „viruses” may enter the portal blood from the intestines where bacteria die by the trillions each day! They too, have genomes.
“Viruses” which are extraneous to the human body, are mostly from bacteria and fungi.
“Viruses” by the trillions are consumed daily by human body cells that recycle the contents of body cells that die. By processes called pinocytosis and phagocytosis, cells in contact with food invaginate, form an impromptu stomach, secrete lysosomes as digestants and thusly break „viruses” and other materials down into amino acids, simple fatty acids and glucose for purposes of reuse. Minerals and vitamins associated therewith are also reused. The photographs of these processes always show action on behalf of the cell, never the so-called virus.
It’s a lie that a dead bit of organic material, a genome called a virus, can „command” anything to reproduce it. It does not, in fact, get reproduced, but is recycled–it is only further reduced by cellular digestive processes into it’s basic nutrients. Should a genome be reproduced, it would ONLY be as part of an organism (a cell, bacterium, fungus, mitochondrion, or organelle, etc.) for which it is merely a genetic pattern. Such obligate reproduction by a cell of an alien genome as stated and implied by apologists and propagandists for the medical system, is contrary to all the principles of biology.
“Viruses” do not incubate! Incubation is, in fact, the development of a fertilized ovum into a multi-cellular creature. No other processes can be called „incubation” without doing violence to the word and the language. Neither are viruses dormant, inasmuch as only living things estivate, hibernate or in any way suspend activities. Repeat: Genomes or „viruses” are dead cellular debris in the first place, and are incapable of any activities in the first place. Therefore, they cannot suspend activity, and cannot be said to be „dormant.”
The statement that „viruses,” really genomic debris without limbs, flagella, teeth, mouths, and other faculties, can attack and disable a large and self-sufficient cell millions of times larger is irrational, illogical, ridiculous, and in fact, stupid.
The word „virus” originally meant and still means merely a poison despite all the new definitions accommodating this 100-year old myth. The word virulent does not mean contagious, but merely poisonous.
Cells naturally resist and, with their multitude of defensive faculties, speedily dispatch or destroy „attackers”, especially lifeless materials that are contrary to their interests.
Upon cellular death, (several hundred billion cells die daily within the human body) sacs within each cell containing lysosomes rupture and disintegrate the cell into debris. That debris includes the remains of around 20 to 30 thousand mitochondria or organelles in most cells other than those of the blood. Because of their extraordinary protection by capsids, lysosomes do not disintegrate the integument of the genomes thoroughly, trillions of them daily remaining relatively intact through the process. These genomes do not, however, remain intact through the recycling process. They are digested and recycled by a very provident body.
Physiologists teach that cells are disintegrated upon their death by their own lysosomes. What, pray tell, enables presumed „viruses” to survive the onslaught of powerful digestive enzymes, while mitochondrial genomes die? Especially as there is not and cannot be any differentiation between them, both being identical? How can chemicals discern the difference between its mitochondrial genomes and „alien viruses” presumably created by a cell through a fictional modus operandi which, if true, would STILL be composed of domestic materials created by the cell’s processes. There is an axiom/postulate that says that things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. In physiology this is equivalent to saying that the genomes of cells and mitochondria are the real so-called viruses.

“The story of a deadly new virus MUST be true since there are too many people involved to keep it a secret.”
Why is this logic faulty? Here are some reasons:
1) Most of the people “involved” aren’t involved in the SECRET part of it. Health care workers treat symptoms, they don’t evaluate the veracity of new virus discovery claims. Politicians make speeches, they don’t evaluate the veracity of new virus discovery claims. Journalists incite panic, they don’t evaluate the veracity of new virus discovery claims.
2) People CAN keep secrets, it’s quite easy. Especially in hierarchical, tribal, or secretive organizations like Intelligence Agencies, Secret Societies, Blood Relatives, Military Groups, Globalist Planning Groups, etc. The Manhattan Project stayed secret.
2b) People also know when not to ask too many questions. Mayors get the message when all the governors start saying the same thing. Doctors get the message when all the “public health authorities” start saying the same thing. So even when the hierarchy issues no orders, the rank and file does what’s expected. They don’t even HAVE secrets to keep, they’re just uncurious at the right times.
3) Whistleblowers never get any airtime. Most secrets DON’T stay completely secret, but the mainstream narrative isn’t affected by a few dissenters.
4) As Miles Mathis says, most people are liars and pussies. They are easily scared, easily bribed, and often enjoy lying. Most of us don’t want to admit how common lying is. But it is common. It would be VERY easy to keep the vast majority of health care workers on the reservation. Indeed, they are already there. 95% of them have NO interest in the healing benefits of good sleep, nutrition, vitamin C, mindfulness, etc., but SWEAR by toxic chemotherapy. Some are true believers, others suppress their doubts, but all are influenced by their own career, financial, and social incentives.
5) And regular people are gullible, conventional, conformist. When the news tells them there’s a new virus, they not only believe it, they start amplifying it! And a chorus rose up, a billion strong, singing the praises of hand-washing and social distancing!
6) And even WE truth-seeking types are liars and pussies. Most of us on here know that the “novel coronavirus” scare is a psyop. But most of us are willing to play along with our friends and neighbors, nodding sagely about “transmission rates” and Purell shortages, just because we want the conversation to go smoothly. We COULD tell them what we really think, but we often DON’T. Just to avoid awkwardness. Imagine how much MORE dishonest people are when their careers are on the line!
7) Everyone realizes that something very very weird is happening. But everyone is pretending it’s “the discovery of a brand new virus which has caused the first large deadly global pandemic in more than 100 years.” When in fact it’s just a scary plotline on the soap opera of cable TV news combined with weird political and financial machinations. But if you were a doctor, or a researcher, or a mayor, or a teacher, would YOU go on TV and point out that we haven’t seen sufficient proof of a deadly new virus infecting and killing the world? No. No you wouldn’t. Neither would most people.

My best guess at present is a planned drop in standard of living for most of the western world. Similar to the destruction of Asian economies several years back, wiping out their savings so they will keep gluing the Air Jordan’s together.
With the mass immigration and aging of the European stock, it would happen eventually on its own, but maybe the managers saw an opportunity to shortcut the timeline.
Perhaps this is a tiered rollout, a test to see how far they can push things before pulling back and consolidating before marching on. If it keeps going this easily maybe they go for the full “win.”
Why maintain all these expensive frills for the tattooed, brain dead mongrelized mass of dregs they see coming down the line, product of their own making? (Trying to see it from their perspective, not mine)
Clint Richardson has nailed the philosophical underpinnings of this, we’re on such an artificial house of cards or Tower of Babel that it’s bound to fall. Maybe there is no master guiding hand, just a beehive of Rex Motrems (if I can make an obscure “Brideshead Revisited” reference) following the logic of this monstrosity of mammon.
We’ll have to keep our wits and bearings about us in the rubble to come.

I like your comment, a lot, Facebook talk, that is. What I find disagreeable is the Armageddon attitude, that this event is the big event going forward. It is just an adjustment, something that happens when businesses (including the Post Office) find that they are at the bottom rung in terms of hiring … they are down to the pot and meth heads. I suppose I should have seen this coming … our mail service (we are rural) has been spotty. I called our post office, and I was polite and respectful, and the gal answering said that they cannot find good help. Others in our area were more vocal, and so there was a public meeting, which I did not attend. The PO rep said bluntly that if they could hire 20 good people, they would. (There are several rural Post Offices in our area).
When we come close to full employment, low-end businesses cannot find good help. We then endure some sort of crisis, an adjustment, and enough people are thrown out of work that the market again functions. I cannot imagine the number of workers out of work now. I went to an ATM on our recent ski trip, and the person ahead of me had left the receipt. He/she had withdrawn $80, and had $22 left in the account. It made me so sad, to be so broke. I have been there. I was young once, and now am sitting pretty, but have not forgotten what it was like to have $22 in an account. My problems, compared to that, are miniscule.

The length they drag this out will be the big tell. I hope you’re right that it’s just a bit of a forced market correction but I feel like there’s more to it.
Not sure what would be worse – that this is a “legitimate” panic caused by too many snowflakes in positions of influence or that it’s been engineered by the “hidden hand.” At best it seems like every 6 months everyone will be on pins and needles waiting for the next big shutdown.

This is what it feels like to me, as well.
With the mass shooting program seemingly on hold or expired, it’s starting to look like the new psy-op is we are being conditioned to fear social gatherings because of all the scary germs and pandemics.
I hope I’m just needlessly worrying, but my fear is this may eventually lead to a mandatory vaccine in order to do things like fly on an airplane or attend a concert.
Also, a nightmare scenario in my opinion, is that these regular prolonged shutdowns and house arrests are going to be ‘’needed’’ at regular intervals now, every few months or years or so to keep some ‘’virus’’ from spreading.
It feels like they are getting away with this so easily. So few people questioning all of these ridiculous rules and orders, even with so many jobs on the line.

Almost everyone, save one or two, that I have spoken with is, on some level, in your state of awareness. It is very close to the surface. When I say I had a cold in January that took three weeks to shake, they either had it themselves of knew someone who did. I say “I already had Covid-19” and there is either puzzlement (cognitive dissonance) or silence, but not the usual anger we get. It is interesting, an awareness that is submerged.

Mark,
That’s encouraging to hear.
I’m either one of the youngest Gen-Xers or the oldest millennials, depending on the cut-off dates I’ve seen, and most of the 30 and 40-something moms I know are scared shitless. Scared of “germs,” and believe letting their kids out in public will somehow kill old people.
Now they should be scared of what’s going to happen to their and/or their husband’s jobs, but right now it’s just sheer panic over what we are told will be millions of people dying due to a lack of ventilators.
I realized the thing that really got all the middle-aged moms to fall in line was the picture of the “curve.” That’s all it took.
They will do whatever the controllers tell them to do if it will “flatten the curve.”

Charlie Marr: Related to Johnny Marr? I bet so. Mathisean genealogy relates you instantly to anybody past of present (and anywhere) having the same last name or same-ish lastname, just one letter or two changed/removed… Anyway, I have a question for you: who are you quoting at the start of your comment? “The story of a deadly new virus MUST be true since there are too many people involved to keep it a secret.”

“past or present” sorry for the typo. I am asking who said/wrote that since that quote should come out of someone described in your point 5).. a “normie” using JLB lingo. Either comes from a normie or an agent.
