"CORONAVIRUS “LIVE EXERCISE”, JAN 2020" by Occam’s Razor on Terror Events, March 22, 2020
1/2/2020
"So we're watching this very carefully in anticipation of the fact that for the first time, in Australia, laws will need to be used on a scale that will present a different experience for Australia."
Attorney General, Christian Porter, Doorstop - Parliament House
Below are a number of indicators that the alleged coronavirus pandemic is, essentially, a globally orchestrated "live exercise" in managing a pandemic (preceded in October last year by Event 201, a "pandemic tabletop exercise"). We can infer that the alleged purpose of this exercise is really a flimsy pretext for fear-mongering instigated by the global power elite in order to exercise better control - there are about 8,500 of them and 7 billion of us. The scope of social control laid bare by this pandemic is truly scary. What social controls will be implemented and how this event will be used as a pretext for blaming looming economic problems only time will tell.
Most importantly, however, the power elite always give us the chance to opt out of the response they wish to instil in us. Whenever they hoax us, they always provide deliberate signs, for example, obvious signs of fakery, over-the-top ridiculousness, contradictions, different versions of the story, physical impossibilities, poor expression, grammar and spelling (beyond what might be termed "sloppy journalism"), smiling grievers, lack of explanation where it is expected, Masonic numbers and symbols, the actual truth (or distorted version of it), etc. They are also meticulous in never faking a single piece of evidence so well that it can be used by someone who believes their story to brandish it in defence of it. See They Tell Us Clearly for examples.
As responsible citizens it is our duty to call out the power elite when we can identify a very large number of anomalies in the story they drown us in with, additionally, not a single skerrick of evidence to support it.
Generally, we can say that there is no clear evidence of the reality of a coronavirus pandemic. We are told of deaths and infections but all we see are lots of the general population and medical staff running around in masks and other protective gear. a man lying on a hospital floor and a person, most unrealistically, falling flat on their face. There is nothing that favours "real" over "live exercise" for a coronavirus pandemic while there is much that favours "live exercise" (assuming we include deliberate anomalies as part of the MO of a "live exercise") over "real". I ask the reader to consider this very important question: when there are clear anomalies in a story that undermine its reality, what reason is there to believe any part of it without clear evidence?
Below argument is made under the following topics:
- Testing
- Numbers of cases and mortality
- Response
- Presages
- In-your-face anomalies
- Hoax within a hoax
- On a continuum
- Vaccination
- Other commentary
Testing
Below are links to evidence that the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing used cannot isolate a specific coronavirus nor can it determine the viral load and that testing is not being conducted in any case, although numbers are still being produced.
Presages
Event 201, tabletop pandemic exercise, held in October 2019, partnered by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Netflix docuseries just a coincidence? I don't think so. And we have an episode of the Simpsons all the way back from 2010 that presages the current alleged pandemic.
Recognised hoax within alleged real event
A common feature of hoaxes is to fabricate a "recognised" hoax within the larger unrecognised hoax. And there is absolutely no shortage of "hoaxes" within a hoax in the case of this alleged pandemic. And there is, of course, Donald Trump's infamous mention in relation to the Democrats. Do an internet search and you will be greeted by thousands of responses - all the better to hide information calling out the pandemic as a hoax, no? In the article below, we're told that a passenger declaring he had the coronavirus caused the pilot to return to Toronto (2 hours into a 4 hour flight to Montego Bay), however, once arrived back in Toronto the passenger was declared not to be suffering from the virus. One wonders on what basis it was decided there was sufficient cause for concern to turn the flight around. Flight records show that WestJet flight 2702 did indeed return to Toronto, however, this doesn't mean that the return wasn't planned and staged as part of the "live exercise". Perhaps it serves as advertising for WestJet, promoting the message they take the utmost care.

--MORE--"
There is a lot more there. The section titled "In-your-face anomalies" got my attention.
In the meantime, I would like to tip my cap to From The Trenches for bring such a thing forward, and those others who also linked the article. Also included below were some insightful comments regarding what was captured by news cameras on Friday I believe. Now it looks like the 12 to 18 month crisis that was rumored has been scaled back to 10 to 12 weeks, which is when they expect to hit bottom and have completely deflated the balloon with their controlled economic demolition. That's what all the football contracts have gone forward. They know the "crisis" will have passed by then. and it will back to bu$ine$$ a$ u$ual for them.
{@@##$$%%^^&&}
With the knowledge from above, we can now apply it to what is undoubtedly nothing but an agenda-pushing piece of propaganda full of psy-op cover stories and narratives. They are not innocent dupes of government officials who fed them bad data (never were anyway, they were always willing pre$$titutes); they are willing collaborators in the most atrocious lies ever foisted upon a nation and world.
Now having said that.....
Mass. now has five deaths and 646 confirmed coronavirus cases
The story is by Andy Rosen of the Globe Staff. He is reporting that.....
Local hospitals reported only a few new cases of the virus on Sunday. Massachusetts General Hospital gained two new patients who had tested positive, for a total of 20. Across the Beth Israel Lahey Health system, the total went from 21 positive patients to 26. There were no new positive tests at Tufts Medical Center, which is treating two COVID-19 patients, and Boston Medical Center went from one patient to none.
And.....
Governor Charlie Baker said Sunday that he believes expanded coronavirus testing will be a key factor in limiting the spread of the illness, even as harder-hit parts of the country are pulling back on testing for the general public amid fears that it may no longer be possible to contain the virus in some places. “The goal here is to dramatically expand testing ... both in terms of who gets tested and how many people get tested, and then use that data to do tracing and isolation,” Baker told reporters.
Okay, I want to take few moneys to make some comments that may surprise you.
For starters, I want to thank the good governor for holding the line and not caving under the pressure for a complete shutdown. He wants more testing, thus cases will in fact rise; however, it will identify all those infected (or so we will be told anyway) and after a big rise in identified cases, the crisis will quickly abate like it did in China and South Korea. The evil undertakers behind this thing need the hot spots to keep popping up in order to maintain the alleged emergency. Baker, having come from the health field, must be familiar with these simulations and recognized it right away (they dropped the crisis on him when he was on vacation in Utah and the Globe savaged him for that, as did I. Sorry, governor, sir.).
UPDATE: Governor Baker orders closure of all non-essential businesses
The “stay-at-home” advisory order takes effect Tuesday at noon, and he is “asking everyone to use their common sense, think about the impact this virus is having on the sick and elderly, and to limit their interactions with other people,” and governor lead after following joins a growing number of states, so it turns out I WAS RIGHT AGAIN! I retract my apology!
And get this: Baker is scheduled to huddle with House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and Senate President Karen E. Spilka later today in a closed-door meeting.
(????????????)
So much for following the social distancing guidelines, and he and the rest are obviously collaborators. For shame!
Now, there is the matter of the President of the United States. I have been unfairly kneecapping him the last week or so. As several more perceptive commentators than me have pointed out, the market drop began after President Trump had passed through the fire of impeachment unscathed and more popular than ever before. Someone pulled a lever and some capital started fleeing Wall Street soon after -- at the same time the ma$$ media and pre$$ began hyping the coronavirus crisis. Problem is, according to yesterday, his approval ratings are rising again, despite the New York Times hit job that is now looking like complete fiction. If you read between the lines of such slop, you can pretty quickly come to the conclusion that the President of the United States is on an island. Their are enemies all around, and the proof positive of it is the fact that his own administration never told him about the Covid-19 drill that Pompeo let slip. The President is out of the loop. May God watch over him. That's jot to say I agree with everything he has done; however, he hasn't invaded anyone yet (unlike his predecessors), and while he has thrown sops to the ZJs, it is more than likely to keep them off his back. I'm feeling like he is our last line of defense at this point. I know I have insulted him, called him a chump, and I would like to take this brief moment to express my heartfelt apologies. He was being played just as we were. They didn't tell him there was an exercise and drill coming. The "crisis" is a COUP!
Lastly, I want to roll back some, not all, of my criticism of the Globe. Had I been reading it properly and picking up clues, I would have seen them bleating some tells as well. They can't come right out and buck the agenda -- not that they want to -- but some have dropped crumbs to alert us. Therefore, I do wish to express some regret for the invectives.
The above-the-fold feature:
She attended the Biogen conference, got miserably sick, and came through it
Photographer Lara Woolfson recently recovered from the Coronavirus (Blake Nissen/For The Boston Globe)
The look on the face says it all! Thank you.
For Lara Woolfson, the worst part about testing positive for COVID-19 wasn’t her bedridden week of feverish chills, shallow breathing, and diarrhea. It was the dread, shame, and embarrassment of notifying clients, neighbors, and friends she had seen in the week before the appearance of her first dry little cough. Woolfson, who lives in Dorchester, is among those now believed to have been infected after attending a conference put on by Biogen in Boston during the last week of February. She had been hired to take pictures during the meeting and started to feel the tiniest bit unwell a week later.
She must feel like a rape victim or drug addict for getting sick, wow.

Stand Back!
As fear of coronavirus mounts, we’re turning into social-distancing cops
Yes, we are all being good little sheep and cattle, although "in this climate, rumors easily gain traction even as good citizenship dictates social distancing."

Germany bans groups of more than 2 to stop coronavirus as Merkel self-isolates
I bolded that because I just heard the goose-steps of brownshirts!
Actually, it's worse. Not even the Gestapo did such a thing.
You've come a long way, baby!
My reaction to Merkel's isolation -- as if she were going into a bunker -- was GOOD! She will do less harm there.
Anyway.....
In a major concession to the new reality, the German government also planned to take on debt for the first time since adopting a law requiring a balanced budget after the 2008 financial crisis. The chancellor thanked the many Germans who have radically changed their lifestyles, and she warned those who have not yet done so that the rules are not optional. “These are not recommendations by the state,” she said. “They are rules that have to be followed in our collective interest,” Those who disobey them, she said, will be punished. Still, some other Germans have taken a far more cavalier, even defiant, approach. There have been reports of “corona parties” held by youths in different corners of Germany, causing alarm among authorities in a country better known for its citizens’ adherence to the rules.
I want to start by saying God Bless the disobedient German people. You provide a level of hope and light in these dark times, and it explains a lot regarding the Stasi that Merkel now oversees.
As the Pentagon records its first coronavirus death, US troops and their families question what’s next
All over.....
A defense contractor who tested positive for the virus and worked at the Defense Security Cooperation Agency died on Saturday. That marks the first Defense Department death associated with COVID-19. The safety concerns as the virus spreads highlight the Pentagon’s challenges in preparing for the pandemic as calls grow louder for it to take a greater role in the US response.
That is what you are also going to see going forward, a bunch of individual cases popping up across all institutions and industries. All part of the exercise, all the actors playing their roles, and at least we WON'T BE INVADING ANYONE ANYTIME SOON, right?
That's because the WAR is NOW HERE AT HOME!
Due to the UPDATED SITUATION, I am costing this post short for now to go take care of a couple of things. Hopefully, I will return.

Mass. issues stay-at-home advisory, closes non-essential businesses to slow coronavirus
Okay, I was angry when I first saw it, step in the wrong direction; however, it is just an advisory (for now), not an order. I'm supposed to feel good about that, I guess.
In trying to sort through all this, I have reached the point where I don't know whom to believe.
Is the Coronavirus Scare the Hoax of the Century with hidden agendas? Old people around the world are costing governments Trillion$ in care and pensions. The vaccinations will become "compulsory". A cashless society and a way of "crashing the economy" but not blame the banks....
I do agree with her that Trump will not be pulling a rabbit out of his hat, and I certainly can see the the truth-seeking media being shut down.
That will leave us with this:
"Many Americans seem to be following the recommendations of public health officials to clean and sterilize countertops, doorknobs, faucets, and other frequently touched surfaces in their homes. The problem? Many are then tossing the disinfectant wipes, paper towels, and other paper products they used into the toilet. The result has been a coast-to-coast surge in backed-up sewer lines and overflowing toilets, according to plumbers and public officials, who have pleaded with Americans to spare the nation’s pipes from further strain....."
Yeah, decades of government neglect isn't the problem, it's you flushing the toilet with wipes in there.

"Emergency economic rescue plan in limbo as Democrats raise objections" by Emily Cochranand Jim Tankersley New York Times, March 22, 2020
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats on Sunday blocked action on an emerging deal to prop up an economy devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, paralyzing the progress of a nearly $2 trillion government rescue package they said failed to adequately protect workers or impose strict enough restrictions on bailed-out businesses.
OMFG!!!
The party-line vote was a stunning setback after three days of fast-paced negotiations between senators and administration officials to reach a bipartisan compromise on legislation that is expected to be the largest economic stimulus package in American history, now expected to cost $1.8 trillion or more. In a 47-47 vote, the Senate fell short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to advance the measure, even as talks continued between behind the scenes between Democrats and the White House to salvage a compromise.
The failure to move forward shook financial markets and threatened an ambitious timeline set by the Trump administration and leading Republicans to move the rescue package through the Senate on Monday and enact it within days.
Had to go all the way down the Globe web page to find:
Losses continue on Wall Street despite Fed action to prop up economy
Looks like some GE workers are going to need to be propped up -- even as they are increasing manufacturing capacity.
Wake Up, Americans, you are being f***ing played!
In voting to block action, Democrats risked a political backlash if they are seen as obstructing progress on a measure that is widely regarded as crucial to aid desperate Americans and prop up a flagging economy, but they argued the vote on Sunday was premature until legislative text reflected the tone of negotiations, while Republicans heaped criticism on them for creating uncertainty for both the public and the markets.
Will they?
Their little identity groups going to abandoned them? Where would they go? Left? Hahaha, tell me another one.
With rigged election machines and the power of the Deep State behind them?
“This is irresponsible and unwise,” said Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican. “They are playing with fire.”
I sincerely hope they go up in flames. Trump's approval rating IS UP!
The move enraged Republicans, whose numbers were dwindling after Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, announced on Sunday that he had contracted the coronavirus and prompted two other senators to self-isolate and miss the vote that evening.
Almost as if it were a planned campaign of warning or assassination. No sooner does the courageous Dr. Ron Paul call the fraud out his son is sick -- same as that shithead basketball player.
The mood in the Capitol was grim as the vote proceeded, in an eerie echo of the spectacle that unfolded in 2008 when the House initially defeated a $700 billion Wall Street bailout that aimed to stabilize the financial system amid a global meltdown, sending the Dow Jones industrials plunging. Sunday evening’s vote was a procedural one, but it shook markets all the same. Dow futures fell 5%, triggering a “limit down,” meaning they could not fall any further.....
I remember that, they finally got a backbone and stood up to the bank$ters, and within a matter of days they had reversed themselves. They were threatened with a collapsing economy, same as now. Better do it..... or else.
Isn't that extortion and blackmail?

DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic
According to Politico....
One of the requests to Congress would allow the department to petition a judge to indefinitely detain someone during an emergency. The request raised eyebrows because of its potential implications for habeas corpus — the constitutional right to appear before a judge after arrest and seek release.
“Not only would it be a violation of that, but it says ‘affecting pre-arrest,’” said Norman L. Reimer, executive director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. “So that means you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decide that the emergency or the civil disobedience is over. I find it absolutely terrifying. Especially in a time of emergency, we should be very careful about granting new powers to the government.”
Reimer said the possibility of chief judges suspending all court rules during an emergency without a clear end in sight was deeply disturbing.
“That is something that should not happen in a democracy,” he said.
Another controversial request: The department is looking to change the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in some cases to expand the use of videoconference hearings and to let some of those hearings happen without defendants’ consent, according to the draft legislative text. Reimer said forcing people to have hearings over video rather than in person would threaten civil liberties. “If it were with the consent of the accused person it would be fine,” he said. “But if it’s not with the consent of the accused person, it’s a terrible road to go down. We have a right to public trials. People have a right to be present in court.”

On Monday, Lebel and her fiancé packed what they could, rented a car in Manhattan, which they wiped down with Clorox, and drove straight to her family’s beach house on Plum Island. Lebel has grown frustrated seeing reports of people still congregating in large numbers and friends continuing to have dinner parties. “It boggles my mind,” she said.....“"

Amos and Barbara Hostetter also kicked in $1 million, half through their charity, the Barr Foundation. The law firm Goodwin Procter reprised its One Fund role as pro bono legal adviser.

"Cannabis may not be quite as essential as toilet paper, but consumers have rushed to stock up nonetheless. On March 16, sales of recreational cannabis were up 159 percent in California, compared to a year before, 100 percent in Washington state, and 46 percent in Colorado, according to data from the cannabis analytics firm Headset Inc. There was a modest increase in the number of buyers but most of the jump came from bigger purchases: Washington consumers spent an average of $33.70 per basket, up 22 percent from the prior week, Headset said. Leaflink Inc., a wholesale marketplace, saw a 48 percent increase in orders week-over-week as retailers restocked. Interestingly, consumers seemed more focused on edible than smokable products, perhaps because they’re conscious of the respiratory effects of Covid-19. Edibles orders increased 18 percent; flower orders fell 21 percent, according to Weedmaps. Cannabis consumption is likely to increase as people spend more time at home, said Bill Kirk, am analyst at MKM Partners: “The vice of choice when alone is cannabis. The vice of choice in large groups or with new people is alcohol.”
Then why did Baker shutter the shops?
Mass. medical marijuana dispensaries — not recreational — can stay open during ‘stay-at-home’ advisory
Well, he never liked them anyway, and.....
“recreational dispensaries are not, and the main reason for that is because Massachusetts is one of the few states in a big geographic area that has available recreational marijuana and a ton of traffic associated with that is coming from other states, we felt that particular [business] would need to be closed and would not be considered essential as part of this order,” he said.
As the commenters noted, his order DIDN'T CLOSE the LIQUOR STORES and the Globe photo is deceptive. It's from an initial opening months ago.
Thanks, Globe, for contributing to the fear and disinformation.
Btw, he's leaving the churches open, too (talk about an opiate of the masses), and he says.....
"the advisory shouldn’t stop people from being out of their homes or “taking a walk in the park," but said citizens should use common sense to avoid congregating in groups. “Every single act of distancing has purpose,” Baker said. “There is purpose in these drastic changes to the way we live.” Recreational marijuana shops, however, must close their doors. Baker said leaving recreational marijuana open would likely draw patrons from other states, something state officials are trying to avoid.
He offers that lame excuse. If that's the case, shut the borders of the state. Just more of the same old same old from the hypocrites in charge in this $tate, and the “every single act of distancing has purpose, and there is purpose in these drastic changes to the way we live” comment is DOWNRIGHT CRYPTIC!

Meanwhile, in "OTHER NEWS:
"Young voters know what they want. But they don’t see anyone offering it" by Maggie Astor New York Times, March 22, 2020
The oldest of them were just out of college on 9/11; the youngest were not yet born. Over the two decades that followed, they all came of age under storm clouds: of war, of recession, of mass shootings, wildfires, and now a pandemic.
The result is perhaps the most profound generational gap since the 1960s: between the Generation X, baby boomer, and Silent Generation voters who remember one world, and the millennial and Generation Z voters for whom that world never existed.
In November, for the first time, the new generations will have enough electoral clout to seriously compete with the old, but, with Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign barely clinging to life, many feel more disillusioned than empowered.
After watching Sanders get screwed for a second time, and given the events that are going on now, I'm not going to scold young people for being disillusioned or for disobeying authority. In fact, I applaud them for it.
In the Democratic primary race, most millennial and Gen Z voters — meaning, roughly, people ages 18 to 39 — have supported Sanders, of Vermont, or Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and few are enthusiastic about former vice president Joe Biden. On the Republican side, young voters are less likely than older ones to support President Trump, and some conservatives have left the party altogether.
The problem is circular and self-reinforcing. Just when millennial and Gen Z voters have the most power to choose their leaders, many feel no one is speaking to them. So many of them don’t vote. So many candidates continue not to speak to them. So they get still more disillusioned.
Millions of millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, cast their first votes for Barack Obama, and members of Generation Z, born after 1996, began entering the electorate as Obama’s term was ending. For them, his administration is a reference point for who is electable and what is achievable.
“We grew up with a black president who ran on a platform of change,” said Michael May, 20, a student at the University of Toronto who voted for Warren in his home state, California. “We think that more is possible than older generations do.”
Older generations “had a lot more economic stability when they were growing up and a lot less of this existential looming threat of the next big political or global crisis,” said Lucas Ryan, 23, a student at Washburn University in Kansas who supported Warren. “It feels like we just never stopped living in some crisis or another.”
Those crises, especially the Great Recession, stunted millennials’ professional and financial growth in ways that did not resolve after the recession ended. Now, the coronavirus threatens to once again upend any gains they have made.
Millennials and Gen Z lean left, and they largely oppose Trump: His approval rating in a Gallup poll this month was 36 percent among 18- to 34-year-olds, compared with 44 percent overall, but many of them also oppose what they see as an outdated Democratic establishment, and they don’t necessarily think replacing Trump will make their lives better.
Unless the election is fixed, President Trump wins again. I'm fine with that now. They didn't tell him.
Young conservatives, of course, do not want the same policies as young liberals — but many of them express the same disillusionment with their leaders, and the same sense that neither party is addressing their needs.
I must admit, they are a lot mature than I was at their age!
I still believed!!
In particular, young Republicans tend to be more liberal than older ones on issues of gender, sexual orientation, race, and multiculturalism.
Much like young Democrats, many young Republicans say they are frustrated at the degree to which their views isolate them within the party.
That is where the print version ended, and I know how they feel! I excommunicated myself for them.
Still, in dozens of interviews, young voters on both sides of the aisle said that they felt their generation had been left to clean up after older ones, and that they resented what they saw as a choice by leaders in both parties not to prioritize the issues they cared about.
“I still feel like I relate more to Republicans than Democrats,” said Hannah Daniel, 21, a student at Union University in Tennessee. “But I really do feel a bit politically homeless.”
Their open frustration is really exhaustion, some said: at educating themselves, explaining themselves, and still feeling ignored or patronized.
They aren't that stupid after all, huh? Very perceptive, in fact.
The outright anger comes because they see the stakes as life and death.
Are they wrong?
Is the "social distancing" of the coronavirus fraud an attempt to smother their souls?
How many of these young people are going to end up committing suicide because of the shithole that is before them?
“We are quite literally fighting for our lives, for our survival, when it comes to issues of gun safety, when it comes to the climate crisis, when it comes to treating people with dignity and respect,” said Evan Feldberg-Bannatyne, 21, a student at Earlham College in Indiana who supports Sanders.
“It strikes me as almost tragic that the world has gotten to a place where I feel like my childhood was ended abruptly,” he continued, “and I was forced into a position where I had to fight.”
At least you had a childhood. Tell it to the kids who are being robbed of one so criminal elements can hide their fraud and corruption.
BreAnna Caslake of Arizona said that, at 34, she still owed $23,000 in student loans, and that she and her husband were struggling to pay their water bill. Tom Kilian, 28, of Jacksonville, Florida, said he and his wife had been delaying having a child because of financial instability, health care costs and climate change. Both he and Caslake voted for Sanders.
Better et her tubes tied now.
Caslake said she was unlikely to vote for Biden in November. Kilian said he would, but reluctantly. “I am very aware of the contempt that conservative Democrats hold my generation in,” he said. “And the feeling is definitely mutual.”
Just when the dawn seems darkest.....
“The older people in my party are more wedded to preserving culture than preserving liberty,” said Natalia Castro, 23, who grew up in rural Florida and now works in Washington. “A lot of older conservatives are a lot slower to advocate for legal immigration because they’re concerned with what they see as the American identity, and I think that’s problematic.”
Climate change is also a big issue for young Republicans, just as it is for young Democrats. They don’t necessarily support proposals like the Green New Deal, but they do want the government to take urgent action, and the resistance at the top of their party has been alienating.
Blair Egan, 22, said she had argued over climate change with older Republicans, including her father, who she said “isn’t thinking about what the world’s going to look like 50 years down the line because it honestly doesn’t impact him.”
I'm sorry you boought into that fraud.

Here is the campaign speech they are aching to hear:
"Your 2020 Congressional Campaign Stump Speech" by March 23, 2020
There is a local issue in this campaign that has just recently surfaced. An anonymous flier has circulated all over this Congressional District. It reads:
“The Big Banks launder $500 billion a year offshore in political bribes. That is according to Asia Times magazine. And a trillion dollars a year in illegal drugs and weapons are laundered through those same banks. This level of corruption is so deep that it has allowed tens of trillions of dollars to have been stolen from federal funds which is to say from the taxpayers. And we are not allowed to audit federal accounts to demand restitution because we don’t have a Congressman. You have a man who represents Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. And this Congressman despises you. He wants to cut your wages and pensions in half. And he wants the working class to pay even more for rent.”
He insists that is the right thing to do. In addition to his hatred of you, he is motivated by the millions of dollars he gets paid every year to destroy America. I can prove logically that is getting paid at least $10 million a year. How? Nobody would destroy their homeland for any less would they?
Before proceeding further my lawyer wanted me to say that I had nothing to do with that flier and that I promise never to do it again.
{Note: I believe the dollar will crash either a few months before or after the November elections. The US government might soon afterward cease to function. I offer this sample 2020 congressional stump speech to anyone who would like to use it. It is written for a candidate running against a male incumbent Democrat in Colorado. You will have to make adjustments for your state residence and party affiliation.}
Now let me explain that flier. The Banks launder $500 billion in offshore bribes so you should not expect the government to care about you let alone listen to your complaints. And that trillions a year in laundered illegal drugs and weapons sales absolutely guarantees that criminals win and we lose. But the Corporate Media and the Congress Critters don’t care. The exponential growth in corruption has made it seem impossible to change anything at all. Of course the exception would be the Day the Dollar Dies. The government dies and we offer an alternative. All we have to do is to survive just a few more years when their system fails.
On 9-10-2001 Donald Rumsfeld admitted that he was not able to trace 2.3 trillion dollars in Department of Defense spending. Catherine Austin Fitts who was Assistant Secretary of HUD in the Bush I regime has said that the trillions of dollars stolen from unaudited federal spending has been sent overseas and will be used to buy America for pennies on the dollar at fire sale prices after our economy hits bottom.
Rumsfeld had promised that they would in the future do a better job safeguarding the taxpayer’s money but somehow Bush and Rumsfeld forgot to keep that promise.
Dr Mark Skidmore showed from US government sources that $21 trillion went missing from HUD and DOD between 1998 and 2015. This money includes the $2.3 trillion Rumsfeld mentioned. Not only have they not investigated the Missing Trillions, they passed a change in federal rules for the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board). The new rules allow the government to tell investigators that a missing 2 trillions just went walk about because the National Security interest demanded it. And that ends the investigation.
The real enemies of America have always been the Federal Reserve bank, Goldman Sachs, J P Morgan, their friends on Wall Street and their criminal co-conspirators both in the Corporate Media and in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.
Before concluding let me try to explain to you how the Federal Reserve system was designed to steal your money and why we need to abolish it.
The simplest way to explain the FED is to say that they have a license to print our money. It is as if they were legalized counterfeiters whose only restriction is that they cannot go into a store to pass their money. They can only loan their money into circulation and collect interest from the suckers. We now have about 23.5 trillion dollars in loans the government must pay interest on unnecessarily. Before there was a FED, no national debt and no interest to pay on that debt and no income tax either. All of the income taxes we have paid have gone to subsidize corporations, to pay for wars we did not need and to pay the banks for printing the money the Treasury should have printed for us without interest.
Imagine life if there had been no Depression of 1929-1939 and 3 million Americans starving to death. No current Depression and no inflation. Imagine an America where you and your family had never paid an income tax and our lives had not been disrupted by inflation and massive job losses. Imagine America without WW I, WW II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. What you have imagined is an America without a Federal Reserve bank and without Goldman Sachs and where we are free to live our lives without their wars and their schemes, but the DC Swamp Creatures will resort to Helicopter money starting this coming week which is why I believe the economy will crash either before or soon after the November elections. The result will be a 60% pay cut to all workers and pensioners who are not cut 100%. Now more than ever you need at least one honest man from Colorado in the Congress.
I mentioned Dr Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts and their war to get those thieves in Washington to return the Missing $21 trillion.

US raps France for prisoner swap with Iran

What a nice smile, and get this: The Trump administration on Sunday harshly criticized France for releasing an Iranian man wanted for prosecution by the United States in an apparent prisoner swap with Iran. The State Department said it “deeply regrets” the “unilateral” French decision to release Jalal Rohollahnejad, who was the subject of a US extradition request on charges of violating American sanctions on Iran.
That's Fat Mike's Department, and only the hypocritical, above-the-law, rogue empire can do such things.
Georgia’s breakaway republic of Abkhazia votes for president
With a population of about 250,000, Abkhazia is recognized as a sovereign state only by Russia and a handful of other countries. Abkhazia broke away from Georgia in the early 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed. The last of Georgia’s troops were driven out in a brief 2008 war with Russia, and Moscow has tightened its control over the lush Black Sea province and a second breakaway Georgian region, South Ossetia. Russian President Vladimir Putin helped mediate the conflict.
Six years later, the U.S. made another attempt at destabilizing Russia's borders with the ObamaCoup in Ukraine!

As US troops leave Afghanistan, diplomats are left to fill uncertain mission
Maybe they should STAY then! The last thing we need is for returning troops to be called up for medical martial law here, and “I think everyone is concerned about where this is going.”
The Times talked to a Mr. Daniel F. Feldman, who served as special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan under president Barack Obama before the Globe's web version added this:
If history is an indicator, the embassy’s fate will largely depend on how troops are pulled back. Ten years ago, the US Embassy in Baghdad was responsible for leading the American effort in Iraq as the war began to wind down. Under American protocol, an ambassador outranks a military commander in a foreign country, but the Pentagon had pumped billions of dollars into Iraq and secured a relative, if tenuous, stability by subduing Sunni Muslim insurgents and Shi’ite death squads that had each terrorized the country.
Was it worth it?
Obama sent them back in after, too.
“There was quite a tradition of the military running this,” Over the next year, as all US combat troops left Iraq, military and embassy officials sought to work in “lockstep” — not only with Iraqi officials but also to uniformly outline the American mission’s needs and challenges in Iraq to Washington, said retired Lieutenant General Jeffrey Buchanan, who was the Pentagon’s chief spokesman in Baghdad in 2011. He said much of the initial Iraqi reluctance to turn to the US embassy “had a lot to do with resources being brought to bear,” given that the Defense Department had been able to provide more staff, equipment, money and other resources than the State Department could in Iraq. “They could just not leverage what we had started,” Buchanan said in an interview.
The Iraqis are wondering who is going to fix the water main break.
In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy.
In 1933, the German Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act, which effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers.
Fast forward to 2020 and COVID-19!!
In 2003, during the Iraq War, a US Army maintenance convoy was ambushed in Nasiriyah; 11 soldiers were killed; six were captured, including Private Jessica Lynch, who was rescued on April 1.
The rescue of Lynch was a huge whopping lie when reported at the time because troop moral was sagging. The ma$$ media made it sound like US troops shot their way in and rescued her when it was the Iraqi doctors who called them and said we have one of your troops, can you come pick her up. They did, but who remembers now, right? Especially those Gen-Xers or whatever.
In 2010, claiming a historic triumph, President Obama signed a $938 billion health care overhaul, declaring ‘‘a new season in America.’’
It's still with us.
Anyone remember what happened last year?
