What if the Corona virus turns out to be a genuine pandemic with legs, not some punk-ass, flash-in-the-pan bug like SARS… and infects hundreds of millions around the world…? And what if it happens to go logarithmic in the USA, as in China now…? And what if takes a few months, or half a year, to do that…? And what if Americans will not get on airplanes when that happens…? Or gather together in large numbers…? Or if government imposes quarantines …? Will the parties hold their nominating conventions? Might the November election have to be postponed? Just sayin’… since nobody else seems to be talking about it. A few months ago, nobody was thinking about a disease that would virtually lock-down China’s economy, either… and now here we are. Speaking of which, that lock-down of China’s economy is already generating serious damage to global GDP, after only a few weeks. But nothing shows our detachment from reality like the recent surge in financial market indexes while the Chinese economy was busy shutting down. In particular, one must wonder: What supports the global daisy-chain of debt obligations while all this is going on? Living in the Long Eme... James Howard Kunstler Buy New $24.95 (as of 12:40 EST - Details) After all, companies doing business need a revenue stream to service their revolving debts. They have to make stuff, and move stuff, and get paid for it. What happens when there is no revenue stream? The workings of this hyper-complex financial system depend utterly on the velocity of these revenue streams. They can’t just… stop! Everybody who follows these things understands that China’s banking system is 1) a hot mess of confabulated public and private lending relationships, 2) completely opaque as regards the true workings of its operations, and 3) shot through with fraud, swindling, and Ponzis. Did China’s ruling party just put its banking system in an induced coma while Corona virus plays out? How can that possibly not affect the rest of global finance, which is plenty janky, too? The USA gets everything from car parts to pharmaceuticals from China. How long will it take for the manufacturing lock-down to show up in American daily life? What if it continues for some months going forward? You can easily draw your own conclusions. Here’s another interesting angle on that: Corona virus might give President Donald Trump an easy out from being the bag-holder for a stock market crash and banking train wreck. The signal weakness of Mr. Trump’s term-in-office was his taking ownership of a magical mystery stock market that climbs ever-higher day after day, defying all known rules of physics as applied to money. This longest “expansion” in US history (if that’s what it was, and I’m not so sure about it) seems to have hit a speed bump last September when something broke in the short-term “re-po” lending markets, at which time (and ever since), Jay Powell’s Federal Reserve began jamming hundreds of billions of dollars into them to smash down zooming interest rates and prevent a heart attack in the system. That creation of “liquidity” — money from thin air — appears to have stabilized the situation. But then, it is a peculiar feature of our times that a lot of things have an appearance that doesn’t sync with reality. The Geography of Nowhe... James Howard Kunstler Best Price: $1.17 Buy New $11.88 (as of 07:50 EST - Details) In short, if Corona virus and its side-effects do substantially knock down the stock markets, Mr. Trump gets off scot-free on the one thing that has been really propping him up. Not only can he blame a looming market calamity on this black swan pandemic, he can then turn around and play the Franklin Roosevelt role in attempting to rescue the nation from a depression. And then, if the election has to be postponed, we will see a for-sure discontinuity in US political history, consequences as yet unknown. Meanwhile, schemes continue apace to overthrow Mr. Trump by-hook-or-by-crook before the election, with Sedition Release 4.0 just breaking in the Roger Stone sentencing affair and four prosecutors (three of them Mueller alumni, imagine that!) staging a phony-baloney resignation huff to stir up useful idiots like Rep. Eric Swalwell on the House Intel Committee for the next go at impeachment. Understand, this wicked business is just another ploy engineered by the same combined Deep State / Lawfare scoundrels that ran RussiaGate, MuellerGate, and UkraineGate, and the real purpose of it is to stave off efforts to prosecute a pretty broad network of those same former and current officials in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, State Department, Pentagon, Obama White House, and the Clinton Foundation for seditious conspiracy and, yes, possibly even treason. Personally, I believe that the Attorney General is honestly trying to smoke out the truth in this morass of nefarious intrigues, and that neither attempts to block him by the perps and their allies, nor a visitation of Corona virus across the land, will thwart him.

It is an engineered virus. It has two HIV strands and has CRISPER marks where it was spliced. It originated in America where it was designed to kill Asians. Chinese spies were allowed to take it from a lab in Winnipeg. It was likely spread throughout Wuhan by American spies. Whites have a death rate maybe 1/15th of Chinese. We had elections in 1918 and 1920 while we suffered from the Spanish flu. only 550,000 out of 106 million Americans died from the Spanish flu. In Samoa 80% of the people died. This strikes the elderly, smokers and people who are already ill. Also probably heavy consumers of sugar. Watch out for that Super Duper Wuhan Virus Vaccine. That will set us to be killed by a weaponized version of the SARS virus due to be released in 2022 or so. It will kill 36% of the world's population. You didn't think they would let you live long enough to collect your pension, did you? The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Remember sheeple, they had those military games in China 6 weeks before this thing broke.
We have no confirmed white or black deaths yet.
We have educated estimates. Also the whites who get the disease are doing interviews. Chinese get pneumonia and the ICU, not so whites.
The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Non Asians have just started getting coronavirus and it seems to start mild and then gets worse. The scary thing is that antibodies don't seem to develop, i.e., you can keep getting it again and again.
Like I said, it is a Bioweapon. But whites who get it do not seem to do as badly as Asians. It hits smokers, the ill, the elderly and the sedentary harder than the rest of us. And maybe also people who buy 5 pound bags of sugar but no data on that. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
The doctor who sounded the alarm was 34 years old and noticed symptoms in early January. Took him a month to die of it. Might he have been reinfected because he couldn't develop antibodies?
When I was a beekeeper in Illinois, I would buy 5 lb bags of sugar so I could supplement the bees in winter since I harvested all of the excess honey they made during the warmer days of summer. There were plastic inserts that replaced a frame in the brood chamber which I would swap out during early winter. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

The Kondratiev wave is what governs economic cycles in capitalist countries like the U.S. Nikolai Kondratiev was a Soviet Economist. He predicted the U.S. economy would recover from its depression in the 30s. When he was proven right, Stalin sentenced him to hard labor. That was later changed to death. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
The Kondratiev wave is BS. It is an accumulation of Unpayable Debts that slows the economy. It is the cancellation of Unpayable Debts that contracts the money supply which shrinks the economy. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Wow...Insidious. I hadn't calculated this ChiCom Corona-Virus event and MO angle as somehow effecting the US economy to this degree -- as well as its weird timing. Entrusting Commie, fascist China to be the US's default supplier of essential manufacturing goods was always going to be a game of Russian Roulette, wasn't it? COULD THIS virus pandemic be the World's Elites retaliation, their ace in the hole out of sheer desperation in knocking off Trump? Afterall he has defeated them at every turn. The collective NWO Plans of complete enslavement and control of "we the peons" has been interrupted by Trump, hasn't it? Well....COULD this ChiComs Corona-Virus possibly and seriously help put the brakes on humming "Trump economy" that's been bragged about? And with it, a yuge dent in the rising stock market? An rapid reduction in millions of jobs the Trump Economy had just helped create? (including many in the black communitah, who were beginning to support Trump.) Let's face it, we already know -- the corporate MSM and Silicon Valley will blame...."TRUMP!!!" If the C-Virus is being framed as potentially creating even temporary economic/public health pandemic, is it possible that this entire weaponize ChiCom virus actually interferes with the re-election run-up and become a damaging political campaign issue for Trump?) There is NOTHING the satanic World's Elites would not do to our world. It originated in America... No doubt: ENGINEERED. That a killer-virus likely originated in the dark labs of the US is not a surprise at all. They've been spraying us like the bugs they think we are with bio-weaponized Chemtrails (under the guise of "Weather Modification.") IN THE OPEN. The Luciferian Elite and Illuminati have made no secret that their goal is POPULATION CONTROL. Right -- it'll take out those with the weaker immune systems first. This ought to thrill Bloomberg. Nice. Interesting stuff... Bee Keeping is a much unappreciated and noble craft and service to mankind. Without folks like you, who know how many plants DON'T get pollinated (and yes, the Honey production is essential.) There were plastic inserts that replaced a frame in the brood chamber which I would swap out during early winter. ;) Very creative. It is the cancellation of Unpayable Debts that contracts the money supply which shrinks the economy. You deny the Kondrartiev wave has any significance? If you failed to review the Wikipedia page then you only handicap yourself. It is also the FED shrinking the money supply that causes recessions and depressions, like in the 30s. When the Crash of 29 hit, the brokers on Wall St were jumping out of windows since they lost everything. Now why do you think that crash happened? The FED raised interest rates from 5% to 6%. And they decreased the money supply on top of it. The banks had loaned out their deposits and when customers wanted to withdraw cash, it caused bank failures. There are likely other reasons. I was not alive during that time, but my mother told me during the Great Depression the family had no money, so all the kids got coal in their Christmas stockings. When FDR was elected, he caused the Bankruptcy of the United States and this action dissolved the government of the United States and suspended all cabinet positions. But they will never admit to that. All cabinet officers are mere figureheads. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
You had to feed the bees otherwise they would starve since I robbed them of surplus honey. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
