Fake News Alert: Chinese State-Controlled Media Tweets Picture of First NEW Coronavirus Hospital, Here’s Proof It’s Not Real

Large media outlets can never be trusted .
This evening I was doing a search for blogs in Taiwan and China and found several of them have experienced interruptions in service .

Chinese state-run newspaper the Global Times posted an image of a purported “ novel coronavirus hospital ” called Huoshenshan Hospital on Twitter Monday .

The tweet was quickly scrutinized by people who noticed that the image of Huoshenshan Hospital provided by Global Times is actually an Alibaba stock photo for a portable “ container school building.

Click the timestamp on the tweet and you will see it has been taken down by Global Times, or another source inside Twitter.
Why?
Because the tweet was pure propaganda.
The tweet was quickly scrutinized by people who noticed that the image of Huoshenshan Hospital provided by Global Times is actually an Alibaba stock photo for a portable “container school building.”
The images have been available on the internet months prior to the tweet by Global Times celebrating a new “hospital.”

It really doesn’t matter.
Most big news outlets, if not all, use fake photos to embellish their fake news.
As National File reported earlier today, the emergency coronavirus hospitals actually being built in China more closely resemble trailer units, with barred steel windows and doors with locks on the outside:
A video posted to Twitter by a Chinese government official shows the construction of metal trailers with bars on the windows and locks on the outside of the doors.
The video was posted by Lijian Zhao, Deputy Director General of the Information Department, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“We are racing against time,” Zhao said. “The 1st building of #Wuhan‘s #Coronavirus hospital, Huoshenshan hospital, was completed in 16 hours.”
Zhao continued, “China Construction which built the hospital is the same company which built the Multan-Sukkor Motorway and the Centaurus. Let’s pray for Wuhan & China!”
The “hospital” shown in the video appears to be a type of corrugated metal units with metal bars on the windows.
…
Global Times, the newspaper that posted the image, is a daily tabloid newspaper run by the Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily newspaper, providing a Chinese nationalist perspective on international issues.
I think the fake hospitals are less frightening than the alleged real hospitals.
Either way, the point is that a Chinese Media outlet got caught with fake news and deleted the tweet rather than defending it.
I’ve seen enough.
Have you?
Global Times has 1.6 million followers on Twitter.
I always hesitate to use Wikipedia as a source, but this is what they say about Global Times.
The Global Times (simplified Chinese: 环球时报; traditional Chinese: 環球時報; pinyin: Huánqiú Shíbào) is a daily tabloid newspaper under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party‘s People’s Daily newspaper, commenting on international issues from a nationalistic perspective.[1][2]
So, in short we are dealing with a communist state-run news source reporting stories that the world is eating up.
How many of them have been false?
We have to wonder how many of these Coronavirus stories are even real once they hit news cycles in the USA.
I personally reported on the Wuhan resident above.
Even as I was writing the story, I knew in the back of my mind that the person could be a Chinese propagandist.
I see two distinct possibilities here.
The virus is a total false flag. Not that it doesn’t exist, but maybe stories and numbers are being over-inflated for a reason. The virus is real and the propaganda that makes it through is meant to downplay the situation and make it look like China has things under control, because they don’t.
Coming days, weeks and months will be quite interesting.
What do you think?
Because your guess is as good as, if not better than, mine.
Are millions about to die, or are they at least in grave danger?
Or is this just another well-orchestrated false flag that will somehow be used to oppress the people?

Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water ’ s bottled parent company , CG Roxane , LLC , pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful storage of hazardous waste and one count of unlawful transportation of hazardous material on January 9th .

The company earns nearly $50 million per year in revenue from its spring water but was slapped on the wrist, some might say, with a $5 million penalty for discharging arsenic tainted water back into the ecosystem. The legal problems started for Crystal Geyser when it sourced spring water from the Sierra Nevada Mountains nearly two decades ago.
That water was and still is poisoned with arsenic as is much of the water in Western states. The company used sand filters to remove the arsenic. But in an effort to increase the filters’ effectiveness the company washed out the sand filters with chemicals, removing the build-up of arsenic, and releasing it into an outdoor holding pond. Yes, that’s right folks. They filtered out the arsenic, and then put it right back into the ecosystem in a concentrated form.
People Magazine published the news accompanied with a press release by the U.S. Attorney assigned to the case:
To maintain the effectiveness of the sand filters, CG Roxane back-flushed the filters with a sodium hydroxide solution, which generated thousands of gallons of arsenic-contaminated wastewater.
The company kept all of the arsenic in the holding pond for 15 years at which time it was told it would have to dispose of the arsenic-filled wastewater, a hazardous material which could kill people. But it was ultimately how the company disposed of the arsenic which got the private company into trouble with the government. According to the press release by the U.S. Attorney:
The arsenic-contaminated wastewater was ultimately transported to a Southern California facility that was not authorized to receive or treat hazardous waste…As a result, more than 23,000 gallons of the wastewater from the Arsenic Pond allegedly was discharged into a sewer without appropriate treatment.
The corporate crime has largely gone unpunished as no single employee has been held criminally responsible for enriching the naturally-occurring arsenic levels in the wastewater and releasing all 23,000 gallons into the sewer. With a fine as low as $5 million, a fine which could be disputed at a later date presumably with a new trial, the company could conceivably be laughing all the way to the bank.
To put it into a different perspective, if a citizen had poisoned the Californian wastewater with arsenic, that person, if convicted, would spend the rest of his life in jail convicted of domestic terrorism, conspiracy, and a whole host of other crimes. The fact no one is going to prison serves to illustrate how corporate free passes work.

Over And Over Again The Mainstream Media Hasn’t Been Telling Us The Truth About This Coronavirus Outbreak

Ever since this coronavirus outbreak first began , the mainstream media has been feeding us fake news over and over again .
Initially , we were repeatedly told that there was very little to be concerned about because it was very unlikely that human to human transmission was happening .
But now we know that this virus spreads very , very easily between people .
Another thing that we were repeatedly told by the mainstream media was that a victim had to start showing symptoms before they could spread the disease .
Unfortunately , now we know that is completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see below , Chinese officials have confirmed that even those showing no symptoms at all can spread the disease .
But perhaps the biggest fraud of all has been the “ official numbers ” that the Chinese government has been putting out .
According to the latest count , there are now 2,051 confirmed cases and the death toll has risen to 56 , but at this point it has become clear that those numbers are completely divorced from reality .
Over the past several days , thousands upon thousands of very sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wuhan , China .
In some cases people have literally had to wait in line for two days to see a doctor , and in other cases people have not been able to see a doctor at all .
In fact , one 36-year-old woman has taken her very sick husband to multiple hospitals and they still haven ’ t been able to see a doctor .
The following comes from the South China Morning Post… One 36-year-old , speaking by phone outside a major hospital in the city , said she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sick husband from hospital to hospital in a vain attempt to get him tested for the virus , which has already killed 41 people and infected hundreds more .
“ I have nothing .
No protective clothing , only a raincoat , and I am standing outside the hospital in the rain , ” said the woman , who gave her name as Xiaoxi .

At one point they even called an ambulance , and that didn ’ t even work .
Sadly , the truth is that there are hordes of very sick people in Wuhan that are not showing up in the official numbers because there are not enough medical personnel to test them all .
And many of the medical personnel that are working endless hours to fight this outbreak end up getting the virus themselves .
In fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Saturday morning… In addition to not being able to test everyone that is sick , the Chinese have also been purposely suppressing the death toll by falsely categorizing the deaths of many of the victims… So what would the real numbers look like if we were being told the truth ?

According to her , there are already 90,000 cases of the coronavirus in China… It is important to note that what she is reporting is entirely unconfirmed , and at this point there doesn ’ t seem to be any way to confirm her claims .
But what Chinese officials are now confirming is that this virus can be spread by victims without any symptoms at all… This is completely contrary to what we were told previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the incubation period was a week or less , but now we are being told that the incubation period can last for as long as 14 days… That means that there could be thousands upon thousands of people that aren ’ t exhibiting any symptoms at all that are spreading this virus around like wildfire all over the globe right at this moment .
Why didn ’ t they just tell us the truth right from the beginning ?
If they didn ’ t know what was happening , it would have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead , they fed us bad information that turned out to be completely false .
Chinese officials are assuring us that they have everything under control because they have now locked down a whole bunch of major cities .
But that isn ’ t going to stop the spread of the virus .
Millions of people left Wuhan before that city was quarantined , and many others have been able to skirt around the travel restrictions quite easily .
The following comes from Zero Hedge… This extremely deadly coronavirus , wherever it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the bag .
With each passing hour more cases are being confirmed all over the world , and there are now five confirmed cases in the United States .

Over the past several days, thousands upon thousands of very sick people have been absolutely overwhelming the hospitals in Wuhan, China. In some cases people have literally had to wait in line for two days to see a doctor, and in other cases people have not been able to see a doctor at all. In fact, one 36-year-old woman has taken her very sick husband to multiple hospitals and they still haven’t been able to see a doctor. The following comes from the South China Morning Post…
One 36-year-old, speaking by phone outside a major hospital in the city, said she had spent the past week taking her sick husband from hospital to hospital in a vain attempt to get him tested for the virus, which has already killed 41 people and infected hundreds more. take our poll - story continues below Completing this poll grants you access to DC Clothesline updates free of charge.

Her husband first developed a fever 10 days ago and he has been coughing up blood, but he wasn’t tested for the virus at any of the four hospitals that they visited.
At one point they even called an ambulance, and that didn’t even work.
Sadly, the truth is that there are hordes of very sick people in Wuhan that are not showing up in the official numbers because there are not enough medical personnel to test them all.
And many of the medical personnel that are working endless hours to fight this outbreak end up getting the virus themselves. In fact, one heroic doctor in Wuhan passed away on Saturday morning…
A doctor working at a hospital in Wuhan, China — treating patients stricken with the coronavirus — died Saturday morning. Liang Wudong, 62, died after he was infected with Wuhan coronavirus.
In addition to not being able to test everyone that is sick, the Chinese have also been purposely suppressing the death toll by falsely categorizing the deaths of many of the victims…
A 53-year-old fitness trainer died on Wednesday after checking into a hospital in Wuhan a little more than a week earlier, said his niece. His family had expected the death certificate to reflect the deadly coronavirus, because as his condition deteriorated, his doctors told his family he was suffering from an untreatable virus in his lungs. Instead, it recorded “severe pneumonia” as the cause of death, she said. The relatives of two other people who died in separate hospitals in Wuhan this week also described similar situations, saying the causes of death had been given as “viral pneumonia.”
So what would the real numbers look like if we were being told the truth?
We don’t really know, but experts at Lancaster University believe that “there may already be 11,000 people infected in Wuhan”…
A sobering assessment last week by experts at Lancaster University estimated there may already be 11,000 people infected in Wuhan – and that only one in 20 infections has come to medical attention. The experts calculated the number could grow to 190,000 by February 4.
If that estimate is anywhere close to reality, that would be really, really bad.
But a video that claims to be from a nurse in Wuhan claims that things are even worse than that.
According to her, there are already 90,000 cases of the coronavirus in China…
A nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan has claimed that 90,000 people have already been infected by the coronavirus in China – far more than the figure of just 1,975 issued by government officials. Her warning from the heart of the outbreak emerged as the Chinese government faced accusations of censoring criticism of its handling of the disease in order to play down the crisis.
It is important to note that what she is reporting is entirely unconfirmed, and at this point there doesn’t seem to be any way to confirm her claims.
But what Chinese officials are now confirming is that this virus can be spread by victims without any symptoms at all…
China’s health minister Ma Xiaowei made a startling statement Sunday about the Wuhan coronavirus: He said people can spread it before they become symptomatic. “This is a game changer,” said Dr. William Schaffner, a longtime adviser to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is completely contrary to what we were told previously.
And we were also previously told that the incubation period was a week or less, but now we are being told that the incubation period can last for as long as 14 days…

China’s National Health Commission Minister Ma Xiaowei said the incubation period for the virus can range from one to 14 days, during which infection can occur, which was not the case with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
That means that there could be thousands upon thousands of people that aren’t exhibiting any symptoms at all that are spreading this virus around like wildfire all over the globe right at this moment.
Why didn’t they just tell us the truth right from the beginning?
If they didn’t know what was happening, it would have been okay for them to admit that. Instead, they fed us bad information that turned out to be completely false.
Chinese officials are assuring us that they have everything under control because they have now locked down a whole bunch of major cities.
But that isn’t going to stop the spread of the virus. Millions of people left Wuhan before that city was quarantined, and many others have been able to skirt around the travel restrictions quite easily. The following comes from Zero Hedge…
Yet, but… there is just one problem: the much needed quarantine and lockdown were far too late, because as Wuhan’s mayor Zhou Xianwang revealed on Sunday during a press conference, about 5 million residents had already left Wuhan before the lockdown because of the deadly coronavirus epidemic and the Spring Festival holiday . As the SCMP reports, many of Wuhan’s residents had already left the city for the holiday, while others rushed out after the lockdown was announced on Wednesday night. As a result, only 9 million people were remaining in the city after the lockdown, with roughly a third of it, including countless cases of coronavirus, having already spread across China.
This extremely deadly coronavirus, wherever it originally came from, is now out of the bag.
With each passing hour more cases are being confirmed all over the world, and there are now five confirmed cases in the United States.
Life is so fragile, and as the whole world just witnessed, it can end way too soon. The time of “the perfect storm” is here, and the headlines are only going to become more alarming in the days ahead.
But this is not a time for fear or panic.
Yes, things are going to get a lot worse.
And yes, a lot more people are going to die.
But those that are level-headed have the best chance of making it through any crisis, and giving in to fear or panic is not going to help matters at all.

Held in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum, this latest endeavor by Bill Gates is highly suspicious, to say the least, especially when considering that it was held just in time for the coronavirus outbreak.

The Monday order followed a 5-4 split vote that divided the court’s conservatives and liberals, according to Fox News.
The court’s liberal justices, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, would have blocked the regulation’s enforcement.
At issue is the administration’s rule issued in August that would restrict immigrants entering the United States if the government believes they will rely on public assistance, such as housing or health care benefits. Lower federal courts had blocked the policy from being implemented while the issue is being litigated.
While a “public charge” inadmissibility standard has long been part of U.S. immigration law, it had not been formally defined by statute. The rule, announced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in August, defines a “public charge” as an immigrant who received one or more designated benefits for more than 12 months within a 36-month period.
“The principle driving it is an old American value, and that’s self-sufficiency,” USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News in an interview last year. “It’s a core principle — the American Dream itself — and it’s one of the things that distinguishes us, and it’s central to the legal history in the U.S. back into the 1800s.”
Those benefits that would be designated included Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), as well as most forms of Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The rule expands the number of benefits that can be considered from interim guidance issued in 1999.
The Trump administration promulgated a new rule in August 2019 that expands the definition to include those likely to use non-cash benefit programs like Medicaid, food stamps, or housing benefits for a period of months. The rule does not apply to humanitarian migrants like refugees or asylum-seekers.
In legal filings at the Supreme Court, the plaintiffs warned that lifting the injunctions would abruptly upend settled immigration policy going back decades. They also predicted that confusion would follow such a change because the government has not provided sufficient guidance for administering the new policy. For example, the rule requires immigration officers to negatively weigh an alien’s low English proficiency, but the plaintiffs say there are no guidelines for how language skills should be assessed.
The administration countered that the injunctions force them to issue green cards to applicants who are not eligible for permanent legal status under the new rule. If the government ultimately prevails in court and gets to enforce the rule, they won’t be able to rescind green cards issued during litigation.
“Respondents do not dispute that because of the nationwide preliminary injunctions, the government is presently awarding — on an effectively irrevocable basis — grants of lawful permanent resident status to aliens who, under the Rule, should instead be declared inadmissible,” the Justice Department said in a court document.

thedcclothesline--2020-01-28--University of Missouri Students Will Now Be Required to Install Location Tracking App

According to a new report from the Kansas City Star , the University of Missouri ( MU ) has started using an app called SpotterEDU to track students to determine attendance in classes .
Individual professors will choose whether or not to use the app .
If they choose to use it , students in those classes will be unable to opt-out and , therefore , forced to install the software on their mobile phones .
The unprecedented Orwellian move requires students to install the app with no option to opt-out of the potential privacy-invasive software .
“ A student @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of attendance , ” Jim Spain , vice provost for undergraduate studies at MU said in a statement to the Kansas City Star .
SpotterEDU is designed to monitor a user ’ s attendance by “ pinpointing students within a classroom until they leave , providing continuous , reliable and non-invasive attendance , ” according to the app ’ s website .
While the app guarantees that students are in the classroom during class times , it claims it does not track the locations of students after hours .
take our poll - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rated app found in the Google Play store that has thus far been reviewed by 35 students , states that the app uses the GPS permission on Android to function with many complaining the app doesn ’ t even work .
One reviewer , Apple jarjar , wrote the following : In the Apple Store , SpotterEDU received three and a half stars with many users complaining about the app and its tracking .
Still , the company claims that it can ’ t locate students anywhere but in their classrooms .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ class during class ; no GPS tracking means we can ’ t locate them anywhere else , ” the app ’ s website states .
SpotterEDU works with short-range Bluetooth sensors and campus-wide WiFi networks according to Boston.com .
However , if the app is requesting the GPS function on the phone it can be assumed it collects all location data of the phone as a commenter above expressed .
This is because the software is not open source and we can ’ t see the code .
The program automatically notifies professors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows up more than a few minutes late .
SpotterEDU ’ s CEO Rick Carter told the Washington Post that professors can look specifically at attendance patterns for “ students of color ” or “ out of state students ” for retention purposes .
Sara Baker of the ACLU of Missouri told the Kansas City Star the organization has “ deep privacy concerns about the app.
” “ Any time you use surveillance technology , the question always is who is watching the watcher , ” Baker said , adding that such technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like monitoring which students are participating in protests , ” for example .
“ We ’ re adults .
Do we really need to be tracked ?
” asked Robby Pfeifer , a sophomore at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond , which recently began logging the attendance of students connected to the campus ’ WiFi network .
“ Why is this necessary ?
How does this benefit us ?

And is it just going to keep progressing until we ’ re micromanaged every second of the day ?
” In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carter , who also happens to be a former Mizzou basketball coach , said that his company already works with nearly 40 schools including major schools like—Auburn , Central Florida , Indiana , and Missouri .
The most frightening aspects of the use of SpotterEDU are that students are unable to opt-out—thus giving up their privacy in a time when the right to privacy is being continually assaulted by tech companies , the government , and now schools—and that it is unknown just what happens with the data that the company collects .

In the Apple Store, SpotterEDU received three and a half stars with many users complaining about the app and its tracking.
An iOS user named peeboo wrote:
Good in Theory But in practice it needs some work. My phone recently gave me a notification that Spotter tracked my location 88 times in previous 3 days (which was mostly the weekend). Why is it tracking my location when I do not have class? I will change my review once this is fixed. Thanks.

The U.S. stock market took a hit today as airline stocks plummeted, but the broader implications of China effectively cancelling all business operations for two weeks has not yet been factored into the markets. If this pandemic continues to spread, the economic impacts will take a devastating toll on a global scale.

This makes the race hard for political outsiders, or even ordinary politicians who aren’t very well known by blacks. Mayor Pete Buttigieg is an example. He is a young, moderate who was in the military, and has earned plenty of support and attention from important media. But he was almost unheard of on a national level before 2019, and despite campaigning hard for months, blacks do not care for him. Politico put it bluntly in a recent article: “‘On life support’: Buttigieg’s struggles with black voters threaten his candidacy.” Its opening paragraphs explain:
Over the past month and a half, he has invested more money advertising in South Carolina, where a majority of Democrats are African American, than any of the non-billionaire Democrats running for president. . . . But the more than $2 million Buttigieg poured into TV and radio ads, some featuring black supporters touting the former South Bend (Ind.) mayor, hasn’t budged his stubbornly low poll numbers in the state — 2 percent among African American Democrats in a recent Fox News poll.
Last November, Michael Harriot, a black writer at The Root, wrote an article called, “Pete Buttigieg Is a Lying MF” — MF stands for “Mother Fucker.” Mr. Harriot wrote about how hard it is to be black and poor in the United States, and suggested that Mr. Buttigieg knows this, but lies about it. In response, the white presidential candidate called the author on the phone in hopes of mollifying him. Mr. Harriot then wrote a column about the conversation, saying he still couldn’t be sure how honest Mr. Buttigieg was, concluding, “The only thing I actually know about Pete Buttigieg is that he is a white man.”
Two months later, “Mayor Pete” has spent about one million dollars for each percentage-point gain in black support in South Carolina. Ethnomasochism rarely impresses non-whites — especially blacks — but Mr. Buttigieg doesn’t have a choice if he wants the nomination. For whatever reason, blacks do not like Mr. Buttigieg, who desperately needs them; all he can do is grovel and buy ads.
Mr. Sanders, whose consistent democratic socialist principles have inspired millions, faces the same problem. His support among blacks has never been high, and South Carolina polls suggest he has not made much progress. Vice President Joe Biden has a commanding lead, at 36.5 percent, with Mr. Sanders a distant second, at 16.2 percent. Meanwhile, in Iowa Mr. Sanders trails Mr. Biden by just 3.3 percent, and in New Hampshire Mr. Sanders is ahead of Mr. Biden by nearly 5 percent. Needless to say, the population of South Carolina is very different from that of New Hampshire and Iowa.
All the same, Mr. Sanders’s popularity has frightened many within the Democrat Party who think he’s a dangerous radical. But the anti-Sanders wing needn’t worry; there is one thing they can, and very well may, do that will certainly torpedo him: have Barack Obama endorse Joe Biden.
If this happens, whatever support Sen. Sanders has among blacks will evaporate and keep it well below 10 percent. As shown earlier, monolithic black support for Mr. Obama in 2008 won him the nomination, and in the general election, 95 percent voted for him. In 2012, 93 percent of blacks voted for Mr. Obama. Throughout his presidency, black approval always stayed above 80 percent — and was sometimes double that of Americans as a whole. Most blacks will do what Mr. Obama tells them.
By all accounts, Mr. Obama is not a fan of Mr. Sanders, and rumors have been swirling for months that he may step in to ensure that the Vermont Senator does not get the nomination. As CNBC reported in November:
Former President Barack Obama on Friday warned Democratic primary candidates to avoid leaning too far left in their campaigns, and raised concerns that certain liberal policy proposals on health care and immigration might have gone further than public opinion. In an unusual address to a room of wealthy Democratic donors, Obama urged Democratic candidates to be pragmatic in their messages to voters. While he didn’t mention any specific presidential primary candidate or proposal, Obama warned that the average American voter does not align with views from ‘certain left-leaning Twitter feeds or the activist wing of our party.’
He was obviously talking about Bernie Sanders.
So although Mr. Sanders inspires millions of whites to get involved in politics, he has a fatal weakness. If he wins Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr. Obama will almost certainly endorse Mr. Biden, and the Sanders campaign will almost immediately lose any chance of victory.

Mr. Obama’s power will not fade any time soon. He is young for a former President: only 58. Assuming he lives to be 80, he has another 22 years to play kingmaker within the Democrat Party, and there is no countervailing force. Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are older, white, and less popular. Flouting the wishes of blacks within the party would require a candidate that brings together most whites and most Hispanics. It’s not impossible, but not likely.
Today, many white progressives are full of hope that Mr. Sanders can fight the media elites and the Davos class within their party and win. But for all their hatred of big business, the military-industrial complex, and special interest groups, what most stands in their way is the fact that blacks, unlike whites, vote as a group. To fix that problem they’ll need more than socialism.
