Michael Levitt, a Stanford biophysicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013, has made a bold statement that the end of COVID-19 pandemic could be near and has cited China’s curve flattening to support his hypothesis, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Levitt is now predicting a curve flattening in infections could be around the corner for the US as strict social distancing measures are being implemented across major metro areas.
“What we need is to control the panic,” he said. In the grand scheme, “we’re going to be fine.”
Levitt accurately forecasted the deceleration in confirmed cases and deaths in early February in China. He said the initial infection rate in China’s Hubei province was 30% per day, but on February 7, something changed:
“The number of new infections started to drop linearly and did not stop,” Levitt said. “A week later, the same happened with the number of deaths. This dramatic change in the curve marked the median point and enabled better prediction of when the pandemic will end. Based on that, I concluded that the situation in all of China would improve within two weeks. And, indeed, now there are very few new infection cases.”
Levitt reviewed data from 78 countries that reported more than 50 new confirmed cases of the virus per day and said he notices deceleration in many of these countries. He said he’s not focused on overall cases or deaths but rather on growth rates:
“Numbers are still noisy, but there are clear signs of slowed growth.”
He said in South Korea, confirmed cases are still being reported daily, though, in recent weeks, new cases per day have inched below 200, suggesting the outbreak is slowing.
Levitt said recent trends in confirmed cases in Iran point to a slowdown. He said it suggests the outbreak there “is past the halfway mark.”
Italy is still in an acceleration period, he noted. Cases and deaths have been exponential in the last several weeks. However, 15 days since the countrywide lockdown began, it appears the halfway point could be nearing, as per the chart shown below by Nordea:
Levitt has gone on the record to say that the virus outbreak could disappear from China by the end of March.
He said most individuals are immune to COVID-19 and pointed out that only 20% of the passengers on the Diamond Princess contracted the infection.
Levitt said when countries unite behind a common goal of stamping out the virus, through mass quarantines, social distancing, working from home, closing education systems, limiting businesses from operating, and banning mass gatherings, the infection curve tends to flatten out.
As other researchers are calling for the virus to be sticking around for months, or even years, it appears Levitt is making a bold prediction that the worst could be soon over for many regions of the world.
We must note that the Spanish flu occurred over a series of waves.
When it comes to the US, cases and deaths are exponential at the moment, and as soon as social distancing kicks in, the curve could start flattening. Still, it’s anyone’s guess when that will occur.
As for buying the corona-dip in the stocks, Bill Ackman was heard on Monday as saying, “We are all long, no shorts, you know, ‘betting on the country.
“I built a lot of confidence over the last week that the president and his team are heading in the right direction,” Ackman said, adding that he had no ‘inside knowledge’ of any administrative decision.

wakingtimes--2020-04-17--Global Crisis – Messages from Meetings with the Plants

Global Crisis – Messages from Meetings with the Plants I sometimes wonder what effect the presence of shamanic plant medicines and other psychedelic or entheogenic substances have truly had on Western culture .

As so many individuals transform , there must be some larger effect on our world .

In a universal sense , the big message feels like a calling or an invitation , to awaken from the trance of contemporary culture .

Global Crisis – Messages from Meetings with the Plants
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
I sometimes wonder what effect the presence of shamanic plant medicines and other psychedelic or entheogenic substances have truly had on Western culture.
While journeys with these medicines are such deeply personal and healing experiences, our world is shaped by the conduct of all individuals combined. As so many individuals transform, there must be some larger effect on our world. When will we see it manifest?
Those who’ve had the calling and the courage to step into sacred ceremony tend to carry these experiences with them for a long time, processing them, integrating them, and continually learning from the awarenesses they offer.
In a universal sense, the big message feels like a calling or an invitation, to awaken from the trance of contemporary culture. It’s a challenge to prioritize connection to nature and to source, to place a higher value on life, to see through separation, and above all to heed the call to be of service.
It always vibrates with the frequency of undeniable truth.
In 2013, author Rak Razam presented our dilemma this way:
“The history of Western culture in the last two thousand years could be seen as the “Empire of the Mind conquering the exterior world and extinguishing the interior one, with the result that we have atrophied our spiritual connection.” –Rak Razam
In 2018, author and researcher Graham Hancock received this insight from Ayahuasca, sharing it with the world in an urgent message:
“…Our species seems close to tearing itself apart and rendering the Earth uninhabitable in the process. What fools we are to allow such a state of affairs to persist, and to allow politicians and religious mis-leaders – for their own short-term gain — to divide us from one another in order to rule us. Brothers and sisters, wherever we are, no matter on which land or under which political or religious system chance brought us to be born, the time has come to awaken from this nightmare of our own making and remember the truth about ourselves — that we are all members of one family, no matter how widely scattered, that none of us have the slightest justification to claim superiority over any other, and that we all share the same hopes, fears, courage, fragility and capacity for love. United we stand. It is just plain madness to continue to allow ourselves to be divided and defined by the artificial barriers of nation, race or creed. We must remember our common humanity, remember that we are one family, and put that realisation first before all other considerations if our species is to survive the challenges of the coming years and return once again to being good stewards of this precious garden of a planet.” ~Graham Hancock
Ethnobotanist and author Jonathon Miller-Weisberger in 2015 wrote about integral salvation as the message of the plants:
“Because our modern way of life is failing us and Mother Earth, we need to design a new operating system that will encompass everyone and everything, and guide us all back to a harmonious co-relationship with each other and with nature. There is no other choice, nothing else will work at this point, and this is precisely what the sacred plants teach, and why their message is resonating with so many in these times. Sacred plants and especially the entheogenic plants such as Ayahuasca and Yagé, Iboga, San Pedro Cactus and Peyote, among others, ask us to reach towards an integral salvation, which means we cannot achieve salvation of our own self, but rather that we must reach towards the salvation of all nature and all life. In order to do this, we must abandon all discriminations to all forms of life, holding no discrimination towards any form of life. No matter what form they take or don’t take, no matter what type of transformation they have undergone to get here. Whether it be from womb, from egg, from cocoon, from slime or any other type of transformation. It is imperative that we raise our vibrational level, and be ready always to serve at whatever level is within our reach. For some, simply smiling is the best they can do, and it is necessary as it uplifts people’s energy around you… In any of the many manifest forms that this can take, we must awaken to a universal culture of service that sees other’s joys and other’s sorrows as if they were our very own. This is how to dissolve the illusory boundary of separation between ourselves and the rest of creation.” ~ Jonathon Miller-Weisberger
As a collective, we’re missing something. Something big. It’s happening all around us and we should be able to see it, but our perception of reality is limited by the clouds we live in. What we’ve created is not working, but we don’t see it.
In 2014, I penned the following:
“…These shamanic medicines are swiftly working their way into the consciousness of the modern, ‘civilized’ world at a time when the planet is under severe ecological assault and the individual is bombarded with fear, polluted with toxic foods and a toxic environment, and suffering from dreadful mental and emotional health. We have largely lost our connection to the divine, to the source of life and consciousness and to the very earth that sustains us. Whereas ancient cultures communicated directly with nature to gain the necessary wisdom to live by, we have convinced ourselves that nature is here for our exploitation.” ~Dylan Charles
In these challenging times, when the house of cards we’ve built is collapsing, I appreciate reminders like these which elevate my awareness so that the big picture can be seen.
We have a tremendous opportunity in front of us.
Earlier today I came across the following post from Paul Stamets, the legendary wizard of all things fungi. I felt a rush of remembrance and was lifted out of my thoughts. And I smiled. In the video he shares something he learned in a particularly strong psilocybin journey:
“I realized, Oh My God, we are all One. We are all connected. We are individuals within one giant organism.

Finally, my friend, author Gary ‘Z’ McGee said the following:
“The essence of the earth has risen again. It has risen inside me. It has the potential to rise inside you, as it resides within us all. And it must be unleashed, “painfully and passionately” lest things –bees; oceans; monarch butterflies; people– collapse into an unhealthy state of existence. This is the essence of sacred activism. This is the lighting of the third fire: each of us realizing that we are a force of nature first and a person second.” – Gary ‘Z’ McGee
I hope this finds you well and in peace, and that in spite of such magnificent chaos you somehow find a way to look forward to overcoming and learning from the challenges we all face together, right now.

wakingtimes--2020-04-16--COVID: The Chinese Regime, Sun Tzu and The Art of War

COVID : The Chinese Regime , Sun Tzu and The Art of War My longer-term readers know my position on the pandemic : an unproven claim of having discovered a new virus ; diagnostic tests which are worthless , but open the door to the phony escalation of case numbers ; the gathering and corralling of people who have DIFFERENT traditional diseases ( and perhaps a few new non-viral conditions ) under the meaningless umbrella term , “ COVID-19 ” ; the plan to introduce a toxic vaccine as the “ solution.
” I fully realize there are several possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this global crisis .
And by crisis , I mean lockdowns and economic devastation .
I ’ m laying out one possible role here .
To begin : The Chinese regime ’ s model of absolute control over its population is fully in line with Rockefeller-type Globalists ’ model of control for all of Earth .
But the Beijing regime prefers to extend its own formidable Empire .
It will cooperate with Globalist elites on certain operations , but only because the benefits accrue to China .
In the case of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be pleased to contribute to nations locking down populations and closing out economic activity .
Why ?
Because the result would be significant weakening of those nations—whom the Chinese regime views as opponents or potential satellites .
Weakening nations is also the ambition of Globalist elites , to be sure .
Flailing countries are easier to take over .
Easier to convert to a New Technocracy .
A Brave New World .
But the Chinese leadership is not a basic Rockefeller partner .
The China bosses are for China .
If , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this pandemic forgery , the Chinese nation absorbs economic losses and deaths of its own citizens , the regime is more than willing to write them off as necessary sacrifices .
Temporary .
“ We bounce back quickly .
Other nations are not so fortunate .
They don ’ t have our level of power over their citizenry .
They don ’ t have 1.4 billion people under a moment to moment gun.
” The next Chinese-regime idea : “ We could try to unleash a killer virus , altered in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but this is ridiculous for many reasons .
—Among which , the rebound effect on ourselves is unpredictable , and only in science fiction movies is there a magic antidote .
Worse , all viruses are unstable and mutate very quickly , so we have no idea what would happen .
A hundred dead , ten thousand dead before the virus mutates into a harmless variety .
This strategy lacks what we want all the time , in every situation : control.
” The next idea : “ But suppose we could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That would serve us well .
In terms of our goals , it would be a success : economic destruction visited on our enemies .
As a bonus , we buy bereft governments , more foreign companies , and more foreign land at bargain basement prices.
” The next idea : “ We could lay out a ‘ tempting meal ’ for the obsessed virus hunters at the World Health Organization and the CDC .
Help them go where they already want to go… ” In that regard , let ’ s travel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all started : Wuhan .
To the virus hounds from the CDC and WHO , the Chinese government COULD HAVE said : Yes , the Chinese regime could have said that , but they didn ’ t .
Consider an alternative scenario : The Chinese regime DECIDED to tell the Globalist Rockefeller-type CDC/WHO virus hounds exactly what they wanted to hear : a new coronavirus that had never infected humans before was on the loose .
And THEN—and this was the key—the regime suddenly locked down three huge cities and quarantined 50 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that started the global ball rolling .
No quarantine of such size had ever been tried before .
The Globalist CDC and WHO drooled with joy , pushed a few buttons , and their whole epidemic PR apparatus swung into action .
Since then , the Chinese economy has taken a major hit .
The country has been blamed , in some quarters , for spreading a deadly virus all over the globe .
To which , of course , the Chinese regime replies : “ What ?
We Chinese have been weakened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward a few months .
Who ’ s taking a hit now ?
The US , Italy , and many other countries .
The US has shut down anything that moves .
The US stock market and trading markets all over the world are tanking .
Around the world , hundreds of millions of people have been thrown out of work , and untold numbers of small business owners have been driven into bankruptcy .
By “ humbly acceding ” to the authority and desire of the CDC and WHO—who always say they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus ’ —the Chinese government has helped engineer , in the freest and craziest and most powerful nation in the world , the USA , a massive lockdown similar to the one now ending in China .
Who does all this remind you of ?
It reminds me of the ancient Chinese general and philosopher , Sun Tzu ( 6th century BC ) , who wrote the erudite and wildly popular treatise , The Art of War .
Here is a sprinkling of Sun Tzu observations and advices .
Read carefully .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CDC and Dr. WHO , it does appear , as you say , that here in China we have a new virus .
You ’ re the experts .
[ Thought bubble : ‘ You ’ re always willing to fake the discovery of new viruses.
’ ] We bow to your wisdom .
Certainly , we have to contain the virus .
If we ’ ve somehow made a misstep here , we apologize .
You ’ re the leaders in this field .
Do what you think best .
If alerts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue them .
We ’ ll help .
Do you think the spread will escalate ?
” Meanwhile , in typical fashion , CDC and WHO haven ’ t done , and will never do , the necessary procedures for proving they ’ ve actually found a new virus ( as I ’ ve described in other articles ) .
The Chinese government watches the epidemic propaganda start to lift off—and suddenly , as I just mentioned , locks down 50 million people for no rational medical reason—thus giving the Globalist CDC and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job , a super-story , a super-scenario , a fairy tale about a pandemic , an excuse to enact their own lock downs , across the whole planet .
Soon , one leader , who happens to be engaged in a trade battle with China—Trump—is boxed in .
Usually arrogant , of choleric temperament , as Sun Tzu characterizes certain leaders , Trump must now dial back his attitude and go along .
He believes he can ’ t buck the medical authorities .
He believes he can ’ t do his usual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the gut .
He can ’ t turn the stock market around by citing economic victories .
He can ’ t talk about winning a trade war against the Chinese government .
He ’ s stifled .
Deflated , he has to go on TV , and read from script the measures he ’ s taking to “ stop the spread of the virus.
” —As he signs away more trillions of dollars the government doesn ’ t have .
Of course , many people refuse to believe there is a thing called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The Chinese government couldn ’ t be so clever.
” Really ?
How about a regime which has a few thousand years of tradition behind it , based on the arts of covert operations ?
The current smash-and-grab Chinese dictatorship shows one face , but it is not their only face .
The dictatorship gave the CDC and WHO what they fervently wanted : a reason to launch—laid out like a dinner on the table .
There was a little something extra in the food .
Not a virus .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote at the beginning of this article , I ’ m presenting a POSSIBLE description of a path the Chinese regime could be taking .
It IS possible .
Imagine a small group of Chinese-government elite professionals looking at reports : “ With this fake pandemic operation , we have MANY enemies we want to subdue .
For a moment , let ’ s look at just one .
Trump .
We can ’ t let him reject the lockdowns .
If he does , other nations might reject them , too .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ trade war against us .
He is effective along certain domestic fronts .
He knows how to rally his supporters .
He has great energy .
He can inspire enthusiasm from his troops .
He promotes a brand of nationalism , which strikes a deep note with many Americans , and which could be dangerous to us .
His critics and opponents are , on the whole , ineffective .
They ’ re annoying amateurs .
Trump ’ s self-confidence , arrogance , his tendency to become irritated and lash out…this is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are strengths which can also be weaknesses .
He will fail to see attacks coming from unexpected sources and directions .
He thinks he sees the whole map of threats to his presidency .
In this regard , he has limited perspective .
He views his potential enemies as blunt aggressors—because he himself is blunt .
He sees warfare as open clash , as direct leverage .
There is where we have our opportunity .
We need a subtle operation that , at first , looks like a peripheral problem or crisis .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it will be too late .
Not only Trump , but the whole of America will be caught in the squeeze play .
Of course , in the process , we ’ ll inflict economic damage on ourselves .
‘ We ’ re victims , too , ’ we ’ ll say .
That will be our cover story… ” “ Oh , ” people reply again , “ that ’ s impossible .
The Chinese regime couldn ’ t be that devious .
I mean , that plan has too many steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firepower ?
Where are the laser weapons flashing in space , you know , like we see in movies ?
Without that , there is no war.
” Well , when people insist the game has to look like tic-tac-toe with missiles , but the opponent is really playing chess or Go…Iron Man doesn ’ t come out on top .
Of course , the Chinese regime permits itself the right to exert an occasional PUSH and TWIST .
To create torque and help events unfold .
In that regard , a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge and lopsided financial arrangement with the Chinese regime ?
What country has seen the Chinese pour gigantic amounts of money into its government coffers , and buy up its companies ?
What country is laboring under the undue influence of China ?
What country ’ s government might , therefore , take an enormous and dire action under more or less direct orders from Beijing ?
What country ’ s head of government SUDDENLY , without warning all its governors , locked down half the nation overnight ?
What country therefore created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ re looking for one country that answers EVERY question , its name is Italy .

My longer-term readers know my position on the pandemic: an unproven claim of having discovered a new virus; diagnostic tests which are worthless, but open the door to the phony escalation of case numbers; the gathering and corralling of people who have DIFFERENT traditional diseases (and perhaps a few new non-viral conditions) under the meaningless umbrella term, “COVID-19”; the plan to introduce a toxic vaccine as the “solution.”
I fully realize there are several possible roles the Chinese regime could be playing in this global crisis. And by crisis, I mean lockdowns and economic devastation.
I’m laying out one possible role here.
To begin: The Chinese regime’s model of absolute control over its population is fully in line with Rockefeller-type Globalists’ model of control for all of Earth.
But the Beijing regime prefers to extend its own formidable Empire. It will cooperate with Globalist elites on certain operations, but only because the benefits accrue to China.
In the case of this pandemic illusion, the Chinese government would be pleased to contribute to nations locking down populations and closing out economic activity. Why? Because the result would be significant weakening of those nations—whom the Chinese regime views as opponents or potential satellites.
Weakening nations is also the ambition of Globalist elites, to be sure. Flailing countries are easier to take over. Easier to convert to a New Technocracy. A Brave New World.
But the Chinese leadership is not a basic Rockefeller partner. The China bosses are for China.
If, in the process of playing along with Globalists in this pandemic forgery, the Chinese nation absorbs economic losses and deaths of its own citizens, the regime is more than willing to write them off as necessary sacrifices. Temporary. “We bounce back quickly. Other nations are not so fortunate. They don’t have our level of power over their citizenry. They don’t have 1.4 billion people under a moment to moment gun.”
The next Chinese-regime idea: “We could try to unleash a killer virus, altered in a lab, on the whole of Earth, but this is ridiculous for many reasons. —Among which, the rebound effect on ourselves is unpredictable, and only in science fiction movies is there a magic antidote. Worse, all viruses are unstable and mutate very quickly, so we have no idea what would happen. A hundred dead, ten thousand dead before the virus mutates into a harmless variety. This strategy lacks what we want all the time, in every situation: control.” The next idea: “But suppose we could launch the illusion of a pandemic. That would serve us well. In terms of our goals, it would be a success: economic destruction visited on our enemies. As a bonus, we buy bereft governments, more foreign companies, and more foreign land at bargain basement prices.” The next idea: “We could lay out a ‘tempting meal’ for the obsessed virus hunters at the World Health Organization and the CDC. Help them go where they already want to go…”
In that regard, let’s travel back to the beginning, where it all started: Wuhan.
To the virus hounds from the CDC and WHO, the Chinese government COULD HAVE said:
“Yes, we have a little outbreak in Wuhan. Nothing serious, nothing unusual. We have people coming to hospital with flu and pneumonia. About 300,000 people die of pneumonia every year in China, for all sorts of reasons. In Wuhan, the elderly have a major health problem owing to the air quality—pneumonia. We’ve been working very hard to fix that. At one point, we were going to build an incinerator for burning waste in Wuhan, but we discovered the technology would have created more pollution, so we abandoned the idea. We want to come up with a better facility, and we will. We’re sensitive to the needs of our people…”
Yes, the Chinese regime could have said that, but they didn’t.
Consider an alternative scenario: The Chinese regime DECIDED to tell the Globalist Rockefeller-type CDC/WHO virus hounds exactly what they wanted to hear: a new coronavirus that had never infected humans before was on the loose. And THEN—and this was the key—the regime suddenly locked down three huge cities and quarantined 50 million people overnight.
BANG.
THAT was the event that started the global ball rolling. No quarantine of such size had ever been tried before.
(In short order, the Hong Kong protests went away, the mainland protests against air pollution in major Chinese cities went away.)
The Globalist CDC and WHO drooled with joy, pushed a few buttons, and their whole epidemic PR apparatus swung into action.
“THIS ONE IS BIG. LOOK AT WHAT THE CHINESE JUST DID. THEY LOCKED DOWN 50 MILLION PEOPLE. SO IT’S ON. WE CAN DO IT, TOO. IN MANY NATIONS.”
Since then, the Chinese economy has taken a major hit. The country has been blamed, in some quarters, for spreading a deadly virus all over the globe. To which, of course, the Chinese regime replies: “What? We Chinese have been weakened greatly by the epidemic ourselves…”
Fast forward a few months. Who’s taking a hit now? The US, Italy, and many other countries. The US has shut down anything that moves. The US stock market and trading markets all over the world are tanking. Around the world, hundreds of millions of people have been thrown out of work, and untold numbers of small business owners have been driven into bankruptcy.
Magic.
By “humbly acceding” to the authority and desire of the CDC and WHO—who always say they’ve found ‘a new deadly virus’—the Chinese government has helped engineer, in the freest and craziest and most powerful nation in the world, the USA, a massive lockdown similar to the one now ending in China.
Who does all this remind you of? It reminds me of the ancient Chinese general and philosopher, Sun Tzu (6th century BC), who wrote the erudite and wildly popular treatise, The Art of War.
Here is a sprinkling of Sun Tzu observations and advices. Read carefully.
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive…” “If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.” “Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.” “Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.” “If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him.” “To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” “…move swiftly where he [the enemy] does not expect you.” “Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy’s unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions.”
—Getting the picture? Any bells ringing?
The Chinese regime: “Yes, Dr. CDC and Dr. WHO, it does appear, as you say, that here in China we have a new virus. You’re the experts. [Thought bubble: ‘You’re always willing to fake the discovery of new viruses.’] We bow to your wisdom. Certainly, we have to contain the virus. If we’ve somehow made a misstep here, we apologize. You’re the leaders in this field. Do what you think best. If alerts to national governments are in order, issue them. We’ll help. Do you think the spread will escalate?”
Meanwhile, in typical fashion, CDC and WHO haven’t done, and will never do, the necessary procedures for proving they’ve actually found a new virus (as I’ve described in other articles).
The Chinese government watches the epidemic propaganda start to lift off—and suddenly, as I just mentioned, locks down 50 million people for no rational medical reason—thus giving the Globalist CDC and WHO the shocking precedent for a super-con job, a super-story, a super-scenario, a fairy tale about a pandemic, an excuse to enact their own lock downs, across the whole planet.
Soon, one leader, who happens to be engaged in a trade battle with China—Trump—is boxed in. Usually arrogant, of choleric temperament, as Sun Tzu characterizes certain leaders, Trump must now dial back his attitude and go along. He believes he can’t buck the medical authorities. He believes he can’t do his usual THIS IS ALL FAKE NEWS punch to the gut. He can’t turn the stock market around by citing economic victories. He can’t talk about winning a trade war against the Chinese government. He’s stifled. Deflated, he has to go on TV, and read from script the measures he’s taking to “stop the spread of the virus.” —As he signs away more trillions of dollars the government doesn’t have.
Of course, many people refuse to believe there is a thing called subtlety in strategy, in covert warfare. “The Chinese government couldn’t be so clever.” Really? How about a regime which has a few thousand years of tradition behind it, based on the arts of covert operations? The current smash-and-grab Chinese dictatorship shows one face, but it is not their only face.
The dictatorship gave the CDC and WHO what they fervently wanted: a reason to launch—laid out like a dinner on the table.
“Enjoy your meal.”
There was a little something extra in the food. Not a virus. Instead, Sun Tzu spices.
As I wrote at the beginning of this article, I’m presenting a POSSIBLE description of a path the Chinese regime could be taking.
It IS possible. Imagine a small group of Chinese-government elite professionals looking at reports:
“With this fake pandemic operation, we have MANY enemies we want to subdue. For a moment, let’s look at just one. Trump. We can’t let him reject the lockdowns. If he does, other nations might reject them, too. He believes he’s winning a trade war against us. He is effective along certain domestic fronts. He knows how to rally his supporters. He has great energy. He can inspire enthusiasm from his troops. He promotes a brand of nationalism, which strikes a deep note with many Americans, and which could be dangerous to us. His critics and opponents are, on the whole, ineffective. They’re annoying amateurs. Trump’s self-confidence, arrogance, his tendency to become irritated and lash out…this is what we have to focus on. These are strengths which can also be weaknesses. He will fail to see attacks coming from unexpected sources and directions. He thinks he sees the whole map of threats to his presidency. In this regard, he has limited perspective. He views his potential enemies as blunt aggressors—because he himself is blunt. He sees warfare as open clash, as direct leverage. There is where we have our opportunity. We need a subtle operation that, at first, looks like a peripheral problem or crisis. But when the vise closes quickly, it will be too late. Not only Trump, but the whole of America will be caught in the squeeze play. Of course, in the process, we’ll inflict economic damage on ourselves. ‘We’re victims, too,’ we’ll say. That will be our cover story…” “Oh,” people reply again, “that’s impossible. The Chinese regime couldn’t be that devious. I mean, that plan has too many steps in it. Where’s the firepower? Where are the laser weapons flashing in space, you know, like we see in movies? Without that, there is no war.”
Well, when people insist the game has to look like tic-tac-toe with missiles, but the opponent is really playing chess or Go…Iron Man doesn’t come out on top.
2019. Chinese leadership: “Let’s enable our Globalist ‘friends’ to create a false pandemic and bury nations. We’ll only need to make a few moves on the board, and then they’ll do the rest. I suggest we call the operation the Sun Tzu Virus.”
Of course, the Chinese regime permits itself the right to exert an occasional PUSH and TWIST. To create torque and help events unfold. In that regard, a few key questions: What country has a huge and lopsided financial arrangement with the Chinese regime? What country has seen the Chinese pour gigantic amounts of money into its government coffers, and buy up its companies? What country is laboring under the undue influence of China? What country’s government might, therefore, take an enormous and dire action under more or less direct orders from Beijing? What country’s head of government SUDDENLY, without warning all its governors, locked down half the nation overnight? What country therefore created a new beachhead for lockdowns? If you’re looking for one country that answers EVERY question, its name is Italy. Once the center of the greatest renaissance since ancient Athens. Now masked and quarantined. And the new beachhead is Europe and the West.
One reason I’ve written this article? Given the existence of certain structures in this world—I’m imparting how easy it is to lock down a few billion people inside a reality egg.
FREEDOM involves cracking and climbing out of the egg.

While America is on Lockdown New Bill Proposes Strictest Federal Gun Control Measures Ever
Phillip Schneider, Staff Writer
Waking Times
While we’re all distracted by news about the coronavirus, lawmakers in Washington are attempting to sneak in one of the most draconian antigun bills that the country has ever seen.
Titled the “Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020,” this bill would require all Americans to obtain a license before purchasing a firearm, treating our constitutional right to keep and bear arms as a privilege in which we must first get permission for from the federal government.
The bill, introduced on January 30th at the beginning of the pandemic, requires that a person must be 21 years or older to buy a gun, as well as go through a written and field test to “demonstrate safe use of a firearm.”
The lawmakers tout that their bill would “require individuals to obtain a license,” “raise the minimum age from 18 to 21 years,” “establish new background check requirements,” and “create a statutory process for a family or household member to petition a court for an extreme risk protection order to remove firearms from an individual,” among other things.
The purchaser must also hand over a photograph, giving the government valuable facial recognition data. Additionally, the license only lasts for 10 years and gun buyers could have their purchase delayed by up to 40 days before the Attorney General issues it to them.
The law would also make it illegal for a parent to pass down a gun to their children without going through time-consuming and costly legal hoops first, at threat of fines or jail time.
In other words, the bill includes everything that the most radical anti-gunners want, short of an outright ban and repeal of the second amendment. It includes new age limits, red flag confiscations, increased taxes on guns and ammunition, an arbitrary ban on nearly all semi-automatic rifles, and the requirement of a federal firearms license.
While also being what the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) calls, “the worst anti-gun legislation that FPC have ever seen,” the bill is illegal both in the letter and spirit of the second amendment.
“On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted,” said Thomas Jefferson on interpreting the constitution. “Recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning can be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one which was passed.”
It’s hard to imagine that the founding fathers, after fighting a brutal war for independence and passing the bill of rights specifically to protect the people against government overreach, intended for “shall not be infringed” to mean “it’s okay if the federal government requires me to get a license, provide them with pictures, and pass their safety tests before I can exercise my right to keep and bear arms.”
Nonetheless, that won’t stop this coalition of 18 congressional Democrats from attempting to force their unconstitutional law on the American people.
If this bill were to pass, it would place the most draconian federal restrictions on access to firearms in the history of the country.

wakingtimes--2020-04-17--MSM Takes the War on ‘Conspiracy Theories’ to Kids Telling Them to Fact-Check Their Parents

MSM Takes the War on ‘ Conspiracy Theories ’ to Kids Telling Them to Fact-Check Their Parents Canadian media outlet CBC tweeted a video on Wednesday instructing kids on how to shut down “ conspiracy theories ” about the coronavirus that they hear from their parents .
“ Conspiracies can be just as infectious–just as dangerous as a virus , ” the reporter says .
“ So , what do you do when this happens ?
” “ Maybe send an article from a legitimate source quoting credible scientists on why the virus wasn ’ t manufactured , ” she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article from CBC titled ‘ No , the new coronavirus wasn ’ t created in a lab , scientists say.
’ As I ’ m sure you guessed , the ‘ fact checking ’ here is false .
As sources at Fox News and other mainstream sources have reported , coronavirus may in fact have been developed in a Chinese lab as an effort to compete with American biological research , meaning the CBC ’ s video is misleading .
“ Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats , and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory , along with the country ’ s propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.
” [ Source ] In 2017 , one of the world ’ s most widely read science journals voiced their concern over a lab in Wuhan , China which was specifically erected to study dangerous pathogens .

MSM Takes the War on ‘Conspiracy Theories’ to Kids Telling Them to Fact-Check Their Parents
Phillip Schneider, Staff Writer
Waking Times
Canadian media outlet CBC tweeted a video on Wednesday instructing kids on how to shut down “conspiracy theories” about the coronavirus that they hear from their parents.
“Conspiracies can be just as infectious–just as dangerous as a virus,” the reporter says. “So, what do you do when this happens?”
“Maybe send an article from a legitimate source quoting credible scientists on why the virus wasn’t manufactured,” she says, displaying a link to an article from CBC titled ‘No, the new coronavirus wasn’t created in a lab, scientists say.’

As I’m sure you guessed, the ‘fact checking’ here is false. As sources at Fox News and other mainstream sources have reported, coronavirus may in fact have been developed in a Chinese lab as an effort to compete with American biological research, meaning the CBC’s video is misleading.
“Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment… The Wuhan wet market initially identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats, and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country’s propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.” [Source]
In 2017, one of the world’s most widely read science journals voiced their concern over a lab in Wuhan, China which was specifically erected to study dangerous pathogens.
“A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens,” wrote David Cyranoski in Nature. “Some scientists outside China worry about pathogens escaping, and the addition of a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions between China and other nations.”
To make matters more interesting, on Tuesday, one day before the explosive Fox News story broke, UN Secretary-General António Guterres released a video explaining how “the world must unite against [misinformation].”
“Wild conspiracy theories are infecting the internet…I salute the journalists and others fact-checking the mountain of misleading stories and social media posts.” ~ UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Many alternative news outlets have been hit with wrongful ‘fact-checking’ claims against legitimate stories about the coronavirus, such as the fact that Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) is being used effectively by some doctors in small trials to treat covid-19 patients.
“It was brought to my attention that…a Facebook ‘fact check’ function says that ‘no, the Shanghai government did not officially recommend high dose IVC in their Covid-19 treatment,’ Chinese doctor Richard Cheng said, who works on the front lines treating patients with IVC. “Well, I’d like to say it is a fact that [the] Shanghai government officially recommended high dose IVC in the treatment.”
The UN Secretary-General goes on to explain his plan to drown out competing voices in the independent press with the ‘official’ viewpoint of the world government body.
“Today I am announcing a new United Nations Communications Response Initiative to flood the internet with facts and science while countering the growing scourge of misinformation.” ~ UN Secretary-General António Guterres
The push for kids to ‘fact check’ their parents on controversial news is a coordinated effort to recruit the youth into playing their part in a well-oiled propaganda machine that favors mainstream media and the Chinese government.

‘Biggest Coronavirus Stimulus of All’: Richest Man in the World Jeff Bezos Now $24 Billion Richer Amid Pandemic
Jessica Corbett, Common Dreams

Amplifying fresh critiques of wealthy inequality that have mounted throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—the world’s richest man—has added nearly $24 billion to his already massive fortune in 2020 as virus-related lockdowns across the globe have forced people to stay inside and fueled increased e-commerce demand.
Explaining the source of a nearly 5% jump in Bezos’ net worth Tuesday, Forbes reported that Amazon stock surged 5.3%, “hitting a new record close of $2,283 per share. The stock is now up over 20% so far this year, outpacing the benchmark index (the S&P 500 is down over 12%).”
Turns out Jeff Bezos has got the biggest coronavirus stimulus of all … https://t.co/10BrXbnIZ6 — Will Tooke (@willtooketv) April 15, 2020
Bezos was worth $138 billion as of Tuesday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He is Amazon’s CEO and president, and owns an 11.2% stake in the e-commerce giant, which has come under fire for how it has treated workers during the outbreak.
While Bezos tops the index, Fortune noted that the 18th spot now belongs to his ex-wife MacKenzie, “who was left with a 4% stake in Amazon as part of the couple’s recent divorce settlement. Her net worth has climbed $8.2 billion to $45.3 billion.”
The index updates followed a Forbes report from Saturday about how “market gains led to a combined $51.3 billion boost for 10 of the world’s billionaires since the market closed a week ago, on April 2.” Bezos gained $6.8 billion in that time, an increase second to only that of Amancio Ortega of the Spanish fast-fashion retailer Inditex.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a longtime labor rights advocate and foe of millionaires and billionaires, tweeted the Forbes report Wednesday and highlighted how the wealth increases of Bezos and other billionaires contrast with the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs because of the ongoing public health crisis.
$33.4 billion. That's how much the wealth of Jeff Bezos and six other billionaires increased last week while millions of Americans were filing for unemployment. Our society cannot sustain itself when so few have so much, while so many have so little. https://t.co/XwlhIXTMzS — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) April 15, 2020
As Common Dreams reported last week, U.S. unemployment claims during the pandemic have soared to 16.8 million, which one economist noted “is a mind-boggling 2,500% increase over the pre-virus period.”
That contrast between U.S. billionaires and the nation’s newly unemployed was also pointed out on Twitter Wednesday by Public Citizen, which cited the Forbes report.
Billionaire wealth increases last week: Jeff Bezos: +$6.8B Mark Zuckerberg: +$6.2B Warren Buffett: +$5B Elon Musk: +$4.2B Larry Ellison: +$4B Larry Page: +$3.6B Bill Gates: +$3.6B Meanwhile, more than 16 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the past month. — Public Citizen (@Public_Citizen) April 15, 2020
However, workers at Amazon warehouses and Whole Foods Market—the grocery chain acquired by Amazon in 2017—have expressed fear and frustration about working conditions, and accused the company of not doing enough to protect employees. Just this week, Amazon also elicited condemnation for firing three workers who publicly criticized the company’s pandemic response and treatment of employees.
“Instead of firing employees who want justice,” Sanders tweeted Tuesday, “maybe Jeff Bezos—the richest man in the world—can focus on providing his workers with paid sick leave, a safe workplace, and a livable planet.”
The safety of Amazon facilities in the midst of a pandemic has raised particular alarm. According to Business Insider:
More than 74 U.S. warehouses alone have now reported cases of the virus, and concerns from workers about safety and sanitation have ballooned, leading to employee walkouts and protests. On Tuesday, Business Insider broke the news that Amazon had seen its first warehouse worker death, an operations manager who worked at the company’s Hawthorne, California warehouse. The man died on March 31.
Some Amazon employees told Business Insider that they feel they have to choose between paying their bills and risking the health of themselves and vulnerable family members.
“I was grateful at first for the unlimited [unpaid time off] and $2 increase, but as things got worse and the virus was spreading more and more, it didn’t matter. I don’t want to be there, but I need the income,” said one worker who cares for an elderly relative. “The stress of bringing it home to him makes me physically ill.”

wakingtimes--2020-04-17--Immunity Certificates: A Load of Nonsense and a Covert Op

Once again , in this article , I step into the world of official gibberish about the epidemic and the virus and tests and so on .
I point out the internal contradictions in the government position .
And then I step back and look at what they ’ re really up to , in the way of a covert operation .
Let ’ s start with the official word on so-called immunity certificates .
POLITICIO , 4/10 : “ Dr .
Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , revealed Friday the federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunity from the coronavirus , as the Trump administration works to better identify those who have been infected and restart the U.S. economy in the coming weeks.
” “ The proposal is contingent upon the widespread deployment of antibody tests which the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration are in the process of validating in the U.S. , Fauci said.
” “ Although coronavirus testing thus far has been able to determine if an individual has an active infection , antibody tests report whether an asymptomatic person was previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is immune ] , potentially allowing them to return to their jobs.
” Now let ’ s take that POLITICO article apart .
Immunity certificates would be issued to people who test POSITIVE on an antibody test .
Meaning : antibodies in a person ’ s body are a sign that he has gained immunity from the coronavirus .
But wait .
How about this ?
Science News , March 27 : “ Science News spoke with…Charles Cairns , dean of the Drexel University College of Medicine , about how antibody tests work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of developing the tests.
” “ Cairns : ‘ The big question is : Does a positive response for the antibodies mean that person is actively infected , or that they have been infected in the past [ and are now immune ] … ?
’ ” In other words , when you penetrate an inch below the surface , you find there are even official/mainstream doubts , grave doubts about the meaning of a positive antibody test .
It could mean IMMUNE or it could mean INFECTED .
This would be like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was a sixteen-car wreck on Highway 5 or it was smooth sailing and there was no accident at all.
” Actually , since 1984 , a positive antibody test has generally been taken to mean the person is infected , has the disease in question .
So why the sudden turnaround now ?
Why are Fauci and other government officials claiming that a positive antibody test signals immunity ?
Answer : Because , with the widespread use of this simple and quick antibody test ( much quicker and easier to perform than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason is invented for issuing immunity certificates .
And this is what the goal is .
Introduce the population to immunity certificates .
As a tune-up for the underlying operation , which is : Immunity certificates for people who eventually receive vaccinations against COVID-19 ( and , finally , all vaccines ) .
Just take the COVID-19 vaccine and you ’ ll be immune and you can carry with you a certificate , wherever you go—and you WILL be allowed to go here and there and live a normal life .
With your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Whether the certificate plan will be enacted this time around ( COVID-19 ) , or in the next fake pandemic , remains to be seen .
But the IDEA is now firmly planted in the public mind .
You can win a “ gold star ” on the blackboard from the teacher—your certificate to a better life .
Just obey and follow orders .

Immunity Certificates: A Load of Nonsense and a Covert Op

Once again, in this article, I step into the world of official gibberish about the epidemic and the virus and tests and so on. I point out the internal contradictions in the government position. And then I step back and look at what they’re really up to, in the way of a covert operation.
Let’s start with the official word on so-called immunity certificates.
POLITICIO, 4/10: “Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed Friday the federal government is considering issuing Americans certificates of immunity from the coronavirus, as the Trump administration works to better identify those who have been infected and restart the U.S. economy in the coming weeks.” “The proposal is contingent upon the widespread deployment of antibody tests which the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration are in the process of validating in the U.S., Fauci said.” “Although coronavirus testing thus far has been able to determine if an individual has an active infection, antibody tests report whether an asymptomatic person was previously infected but has since recovered [and is immune], potentially allowing them to return to their jobs.”
Now let’s take that POLITICO article apart.
Immunity certificates would be issued to people who test POSITIVE on an antibody test. Meaning: antibodies in a person’s body are a sign that he has gained immunity from the coronavirus.
But wait. How about this?
Science News, March 27: “Science News spoke with…Charles Cairns, dean of the Drexel University College of Medicine, about how antibody tests work and what are some of the challenges of developing the tests.” “Cairns: ‘The big question is: Does a positive response for the antibodies mean that person is actively infected, or that they have been infected in the past [and are now immune]…?’”
What??
In other words, when you penetrate an inch below the surface, you find there are even official/mainstream doubts, grave doubts about the meaning of a positive antibody test. It could mean IMMUNE or it could mean INFECTED.
This would be like saying, “The photo either proves there was a sixteen-car wreck on Highway 5 or it was smooth sailing and there was no accident at all.”
Actually, since 1984, a positive antibody test has generally been taken to mean the person is infected, has the disease in question.
So why the sudden turnaround now? Why are Fauci and other government officials claiming that a positive antibody test signals immunity?
Answer: Because, with the widespread use of this simple and quick antibody test (much quicker and easier to perform than the current PCR test), a reason is invented for issuing immunity certificates. And this is what the goal is. Introduce the population to immunity certificates. As a tune-up for the underlying operation, which is:
Immunity certificates for people who eventually receive vaccinations against COVID-19 (and, finally, all vaccines).
Just take the COVID-19 vaccine and you’ll be immune and you can carry with you a certificate, wherever you go—and you WILL be allowed to go here and there and live a normal life. With your paper or digital or tattoo immunity certificate.
Whether the certificate plan will be enacted this time around (COVID-19), or in the next fake pandemic, remains to be seen. But the IDEA is now firmly planted in the public mind. You can win a “gold star” on the blackboard from the teacher—your certificate to a better life. Just obey and follow orders. TAKE THE VACCINE.
Carrot and stick. Be free, or be limited.
If, indeed, we see a COVID-19 vaccine introduced, another variation on this operation would be: “Under Emergency regulations, everyone must take the shot.” But when you do, you’ll get your very valuable certificate of immunity. You’ll win a prize. Isn’t that wonderful?
No. It isn’t.
It’s Corona Bologna.
It’s all about CONTROL.
And in this article, I haven’t discussed questions about what would actually be IN the COVID-19 vaccine. I took up that subject in a recent piece about DNA vaccines. The new DNA technology, if introduced, would PERMANENTLY alter the genetic makeup of the vaccine-recipient.
And meanwhile…don’t you just love the idea of the government first locking you up, and then “freeing” you with an official seal of approval?
“The gate is open for you, sir. You have your papers. But you, sir, you must go back. No papers.”
