The purpose of this article is to establish the parameters for world’s greatest and approaching genocide. The Bible tells us tha 75% of the planet will perish and all of would disappear if it were not for the return o of Jesus.
About three weeks ago, I began to construct a crime board, like the ones we see in the movies. This is where the detectives place all the known facts on board and start to connect the dots regarding a crime, usually a homicide.
It is important to consider two angles from which to analyze homicides. When a detective arrives on the scene, if the crime scene is messy, the detective generally assumes that the murder was a crime of passion (ie spontaneous violence). So, then the attention of the detective goes to love triangles, marital infidelity, child custody, etc. If the crime scene is neat and tidy, the assumption is the opposite in that the crime is assumed to have been well-planned and executed like a military operation and financial interests such as life insurance policies and financial trusts are examined as a possible motive.
I have a question for you America, what does the current crime scene look like to you? If you are not sure, let’s look at the most telling statistic. The economy of the United States lies in ruins. It could not be any worse for our economy than if our enemies had bombed every major city in America. The precision of the theatrics of the COVID-19 team could not have been anymore well orchestrated. And add to that, a popular President has been completely compromised. Oh, you say you don’t agree that Trump is compromised. I say to those that hold the belief that Trump is still in charge and is defiant to the Deep State, the following:
1.How does the President put his name on a document that is counting “flu-like” symptoms and pneumonia as numbers to be ADDED ON TO THE CV-19 NUMBERS? This is patently dishonest and is clearly designed to keep America in lockdown (at least until the election) in order foment a regime change (more on that point later). Meanwhile, everything you have worked for is, or will soon be, gone! Again, the President WAS not on your side and is supporting this principle.

There is a new cog in the failing machine. We watched as COVID literally put a stop to the airline industry, car, shipping, and trucking traffic as well as manufacturing production thus severely limiting the demand for oil. As a result, U.S. crude oil prices dropped nearly 300 percent and turned negative for the first time. To put it into context think of it like this, it means that the barrel of the oil is worth more than its contents and the fact that oil is used as an economic forecasting tool could mean the demand for oil is drying up.
One article states:
“When oil prices are negative, it means traders holding oil futures are paying buyers to take it off their hands or risk having to take physical delivery of the oil, which most are incapable of doing. Oil is still a valuable commodity, but the selloff followed a huge oversupply in the market after major producers refused to lower their output creating fewer places to store the liquid.”

Oil is sold through futures contracts, which means there is a gap between the contracted price and the spot price paid at it actual delivery date. The contracts for May were set for Tuesday, April 21 and that pricing gap grew as more traders anticipated demand would not return until at least the fall, resulting in a historic sellout. Monday’s price was the lowest at least since records started being kept by BP in 1861.

Seriously though, 20% of the American economy just went 100% into the shitter. Businesses will fail. Mortgages will go unpaid. Rents will be abandoned.

Experts claim that, for the most part, Americans don’t really have to worry about food supplies.

But then she adds this qualifier: “Obviously it has a lot of hiccups right now, but we’re working through the system.”
The Hill noted there are five ways our food infrastructure could collapse.
Viral outbreaks at food processing centers. This has already happened.

As Buzzfeed News reported, as many as 700 of the plant’s 3,700 workers may be infected. In any event, the plant has been closed indefinitely.
And last week, the company announced it is closing two additional processing plants — in Cudahy, WI., and Martin City, MO.

Food insecurity. That is growing, simply because as more Americans lose jobs and benefits, they are more likely to go hungry. Worse, food banks are running low or are completely out of food at times, a real disaster at a critical moment of need.
Delivery problems. For now, most truckers are on the road, but what if the virus spread again thanks to the loosening of stay-at-home rules? A massive hit to the trucking industry means that millions of Americans will literally starve — or get killed trying to steal food.

Update (19:50): It appears meatpacking facilities in America’s heartland could be the next epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.
On Wednesday, Tyson Foods announced two closures of meatpacking facilities because of coronavirus related issues.
Here’s the timeline of closures:
We noted around 0900 ET that Tyson was closing its meatpacking plant in Waterloo, Iowa.
Around 1800 ET, Tyson announced the second closure of a meatpacking plant, located in Logansport, Indiana.
Both plants are preparing for closure due to coronavirus related issues, with planned testing of all workers in the near term.
The Logansport’s facility “produces three million pounds of pork daily and helps support more than 250 independent family farmers from across nine states, suspended production for one day on April 20 for additional deep cleaning and sanitizing. Since then, the facility has been running at limited production and is expected to stop production on or before Saturday, April 25,” said a Tyson Foods press release.
“While we understand the necessity of keeping our facilities operational so that we can continue to feed the nation, the safety of our team members remains our top priority,” said Steve Stouffer, group president of Tyson Fresh Meats.
“Our company is deeply embedded in our plant communities, including Logansport. We’re working with the county to make sure our people and the community are safe. The combination of worker absenteeism, COVID-19 cases and community concerns has resulted in a collective decision to close.”
The reopening of the plant will depend on several factors, including the results of a COVID-19 test of workers.
We have noted the closure of meatpacking plants across the country will trigger supply disruptions and lead to product shortages in the near term.

A professor at King’s College London has warned that there will be more excess cancer deaths over the next 5 years than the number of people who die from coronavirus in the UK due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus lockdown, which is preventing cancer victims from getting treatment.
Richard Sullivan, professor of cancer and global health and director of its Institute of Cancer Policy, said: “The number of deaths due to the disruption of cancer services is likely to outweigh the number of deaths from the coronavirus itself over the next five years.”
Many people are avoiding hospitals, partly due to fear of coronavirus and partly due to the NHS implying that people should stay away so as not to burden doctors and nurses.
This means that routine cancer screenings have all but stopped and there will be a massive backlog once normality resumes.
“The cessation and delay of cancer care will cause considerable avoidable suffering,” said Sullivan. “Cancer screening services have stopped, which means we will miss our chance to catch many cancers when they are treatable and curable, such as cervical, bowel and breast.”
People didn’t suddenly stop getting cancer when the coronavirus outbreak started, but now they are not getting treatment.
One wonders what the point is in allowing such disruption in the name of saving lives, only to lose more lives to cancer in the long run.
“Some stroke and heart attack patients are routinely waiting more than two hours for an ambulance, while 2,300 cancer diagnoses are being missed each week because patients are not going to see their GP or because they are not being referred for urgent tests and scans at hospital,” reports the Daily Mail.
Sobering from @aliceTTimes 'Richard Sullivan, professor of cancer and global health at King’s College London, says: “Deaths due to the disruption of cancer services likely to outweigh deaths from the coronavirus itself over the next five years.' https://t.co/j6QS6YSxUi — Sarah Vine (@WestminsterWAG) April 17, 2020
“Another 400 cancers a week are, it is estimated, being missed because breast, cervical and bowel cancer screening has been suspended. For any of these patients, delay can be a death sentence.”
As we previously highlighted, despite many predictions that the NHS would be “overwhelmed” by coronavirus, acute hospital beds across the United Kingdom are four times emptier than normal.
One of the overspill hospitals built to handle with an excess of patients due to coronavirus in the north east remains empty and will never be used.
In addition, the temporary Nightingale hospital in London has “remained largely empty since it opened,” according to HSJ.
Despite all this, the UK government has refused to even suggest when lockdown measures may end.
Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty also said that social distancing measures will have to remain in place until a vaccine is available, something that could take more than a year.
A graph also shows that, when population differences are factored in, Sweden, which hasn’t imposed any mandatory lockdown measures, has virtually the same death rate as England, which has been under lockdown for over a month.

Healthcare professionals now report that coronavirus (COVID-19) patients are dying due to life-threatening oxygen deprivation, even though they don’t show signs of breathing trouble. Dr. Richard Levitan, an emergency medicine practitioner at New York City’s Bellvue Hospital, recently wrote an op-ed for the New York Times where he described a deadly phenomenon that he observed in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.
Oxygen deprivation is a silent killer
Pneumonia fills up the air sacs in the lungs of an infected patient with fluid or pus. Normally, patients with pneumonia experience chest discomfort, pain with breathing and other breathing problems.
What Levitan and his colleagues noted, however, was people who tested developed pneumonia because of COVID-19 didn’t experience any of these even as their oxygen levels fell. By the time they do, they had developed hypoxia — the levels of oxygen in their bodies had fallen to alarmingly low levels. Normal oxygen saturation at sea level is about 94 to 100 percent. For these patients, however, their oxygen saturation had fallen as low as 50 percent.
The lack of the typical symptoms of pneumonia meant that, by the time some patients had come into the hospital, their pneumonia had already progressed to dangerous levels.
“To my amazement, most patients I saw said they had been sick for a week or so with fever, cough, upset stomach and fatigue, but they only became short of breath the day they came to the hospital,” said Dr. Levitan. “Their pneumonia had clearly been going on for days, but by the time they felt they had to go to the hospital, they were often already in critical condition.”
It also meant that they would often come across patients who had come in for other complaints but were later found to have COVID-19 pneumonia.
“The patient stabbed in the shoulder, whom we X-rayed because we worried he had a collapsed lung, actually had COVID pneumonia. In patients on whom we did CT scans because they were injured in falls, we coincidentally found COVID pneumonia. Elderly patients who had passed out for unknown reasons and a number of diabetic patients were found to have it,” explained Dr. Levitan in his op-ed.
Dealing with acute hypoxia, doctors are often forced to intubate patients, a procedure where a tube is inserted into a patient’s throat to allow them to be hooked up to a ventilator to help them breathe. Normally, patients who are intubated are either under extreme duress or unconscious. For the COVID-19 patients handled by Dr. Levitan, many were still fully aware of their surroundings and even using their cellphones when they were put on monitors.

A report released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that 66% of homeless people in a San Francisco shelter tested positive for coronavirus, renewing concerns about indoor housing during the pandemic.
The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) investigated 19 homeless shelters nationwide, including 15 in Seattle, one in Boston, two in Atlanta, and one each in Boston and San Francisco. Overall, the average prevalence of coronavirus among residents was 25%, and the average prevalence among staff was 11% (and 16% in San Francisco). San Francisco’s result was particularly striking — not only because it was so large, but because the overall infection rate in the area was low.
The report explained (footnotes omitted):
Homelessness poses multiple challenges that can exacerbate and amplify the spread of COVID-19. Homeless shelters are often crowded, making social distancing difficult. Many persons experiencing homelessness are older or have underlying medical conditions, placing them at higher risk for severe COVID-19–associated illness.
To protect homeless shelter residents and staff members, CDC recommends that homeless service providers implement recommended infection control practices, apply social distancing measures including ensuring residents’ heads are at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart while sleeping, and promote use of cloth face coverings among all residents.
San Francisco is attempting to move homeless people into individual hotel and motel rooms to minimize the spread. It is also allowing homeless people who currently live in tents on the street to remain there, because of the higher risks of spreading the coronavirus indoors in congregate settings. A recent CDC paper suggested outdoors spread was far less likely.
Los Angeles has faced criticism for its policy of moving homeless people into temporary shelters set up in recreation centers in residential neighborhoods, contrary to CDC guidelines: “Unless individual housing units are available, do not clear encampments during community spread of COVID-19. Clearing encampments can cause people to disperse throughout the community and break connections with service providers. This increases the potential for infectious disease spread.”
The CDC recommends providing services to people outside, and encouraging “social distance,” until individual housing units can be found.
Los Angeles is currently using mobile trailers to provide individual housing for homeless people who test positive for coronavirus, as witnessed by Breitbart News at a recreation center in Westwood last week.

All those people and many more — including David Icke and various indy media hosts — have insisted that the coronavirus either doesn’t exist at all, is no more dangerous than the regular flu, or isn’t really killing very many people. For most of March and April, they have claimed the coronavirus was “no worse than the flu,” even as the coronavirus has now killed more Americans in just the last 17 days than the seasonal flu kills in an entire year.
These irresponsible people have downplayed the infectiousness of the virus, claimed doctors and nurses were faking death certificates, and told their own viewers or listeners things that would make them complacent in the face of deadly global pandemic. In doing so, they have spread complacency and surely contributed to new infections, hospitalizations and deaths.
Today the number of deaths in the United States stands at 50,952. By next Tuesday, coronavirus deaths in the United States will exceed the total number of US casualties experienced in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War took years to unfold, yet most of the coronavirus deaths now recorded have taken place over just the last 30 days. (Over 50,000 now in the last 30 days.

Study proves that coronavirus vaccine would never work; might actually create MORE new viruses through recombination in human hosts

Bill Gates , Andrew Cuomo , and others are calling for mass vaccinations against the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) , even though a vaccine for the novel virus doesn ’ t yet exist , as a condition for release from lockdown .
But a 2015 study reveals that any vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) would actually create more viruses inside people ’ s bodies , making the situation worse than it already is .
An honest perusal of this study will more than likely lead you to one conclusion : That there ’ s never actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) because making a truly effective one would never work .
Of course , one could still be released that ’ s claimed to be effective , but any genuine look at it by regulators would surely reveal that it ’ s bogus , resulting in its rejection .
What this all means for the release of Americans from lockdown remains to be seen , and certainly doesn ’ t look promising .
But the more we can get the following information out to the general public , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lid on the vaccine charade that ’ s now quite literally keeping people as prisoners inside their own homes .
If you read through this paper , which was actually published in a journal called Coronaviruses , you ’ ll notice that one of the stated requirements for an effective coronavirus vaccine is to make it live attenuated , meaning it would have to contain live , yet weakened , bits of the actual virus .
As you may recall , they already tried this with the so-called swine flu vaccine , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ received it .
Seasonal flu vaccines are also generally live attenuated , which explains why so many of the people who receive them end up still getting sick from the flu .
Whenever you ’ re dealing with live viruses , weakened or otherwise , in other words , you ’ re playing with fire , which is exactly what the coronavirus vaccine mafia is doing under the threat of indefinite containment of Americans under government-imposed house arrest .

Bill Gates, Andrew Cuomo, and others are calling for mass vaccinations against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), even though a vaccine for the novel virus doesn’t yet exist, as a condition for release from lockdown. But a 2015 study reveals that any vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) would actually create more viruses inside people’s bodies, making the situation worse than it already is.
An honest perusal of this study will more than likely lead you to one conclusion: That there’s never actually going to be a vaccine released for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) because making a truly effective one would never work. Of course, one could still be released that’s claimed to be effective, but any genuine look at it by regulators would surely reveal that it’s bogus, resulting in its rejection.
What this all means for the release of Americans from lockdown remains to be seen, and certainly doesn’t look promising. But the more we can get the following information out to the general public, the better our chances of blowing the lid on the vaccine charade that’s now quite literally keeping people as prisoners inside their own homes.
If you read through this paper, which was actually published in a journal called Coronaviruses, you’ll notice that one of the stated requirements for an effective coronavirus vaccine is to make it live attenuated, meaning it would have to contain live, yet weakened, bits of the actual virus. As you may recall, they already tried this with the so-called swine flu vaccine, which caused horrific side effects in those who received it.
Seasonal flu vaccines are also generally live attenuated, which explains why so many of the people who receive them end up still getting sick from the flu. Whenever you’re dealing with live viruses, weakened or otherwise, in other words, you’re playing with fire, which is exactly what the coronavirus vaccine mafia is doing under the threat of indefinite containment of Americans under government-imposed house arrest.
What you really need to know about live attenuated viruses is that they have the potential to recombine in human hosts, meaning they can create more novel viruses. This is a serious problem because it means that a coronavirus vaccine could spread new coronaviruses, sparking more outbreaks and possible pandemics.
“… coronaviruses are also known for their ability to recombine using both homologous and nonhomologous recombination,” the study explains. “The ability of these viruses to recombine is tied to the strand switching ability of the RdRp.”
“Only limited options are available to prevent coronavirus infections,” it further adds. “Vaccines have only been approved for IBV, TGEV, and Canine CoV, but these vaccines are not always used because they are either not very effective, or in some cases have been reported to be involved in the selection of novel pathogenic CoVs via recombination of circulating strains.”
In other words, trying to vaccinate against any type of coronavirus, including the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is risky business, to say the least. It runs the risk of generating new coronaviruses that will then have to be addressed, presumably with more vaccines, and on and on it goes forever.
Be sure to listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, warns against believing in the “optimistic” coronavirus research, which he says is seriously flawed:
Several potential vaccines were developed for SARS, but NONE were approved because of the risks involved
It’s worth noting that developing a vaccine for coronavirus was already tried with the SARS variety. According to this study, multiple vaccines for SARS were, in fact developed, but none of them were ever approved because of the serious risks involved.
“These vaccines include recombinant attenuated viruses, live virus vectors, or individual viral proteins expressed from DNA plasmids,” the study reads, noting that live attenuated vaccines “would be the most efficacious in targeting coronaviruses.”
The problem, once again, is that recombination threatens to make an already bad situation even worse by “rendering the vaccine useless and potentially increasing the evolution and diversity of the virus in the wild.” Such vaccines, because of the ingredients they contain, can also “enhance disease,” the study reveals.
Science is attempting to come up with new strategies to reduce the likelihood of recombination, but this has not yet been achieved. It is thus a foolish endeavor to attempt to create a vaccine using the old methods and try to force it on the public, which is what billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, as one prominent example, is now attempting to do.

Since the monster crash in March, stock markets have calmed down noticeably. Yet, this week’s unprecedented turmoil in the oil space raises new concerns that financial markets remain fragile despite massive monetary and fiscal stimulus programs.
For Fred Hickey, this is a key reason to bet on precious metals. «Gold does well in chaos and uncertainty,» says the renowned contrarian with nearly four decades investing experience in the tech sector.
According to his view, most technology stocks continue to be massively overpriced. This is especially true for highly speculative names like Tesla, Zoom Video or Netflix. He also spots vulnerabilities in the stocks of industry heavyweights such as Apple, Facebook and Google.

Probably the biggest argument is over the seriousness of the disease itself. The statistical through-put of the moment appears to underwhelm the models the USA and Europe constructed at the onset of the plague. At least, that is, far fewer people have died, and of those, mostly the very old and those burdened with chronic illnesses – but also quite a few doctors and nurses in the prime of life. The statistical model is queered by many other uncertainties: is this really the peak? Does the plague come raging back if people go back to circulating freely? Can you catch it again? Will it return in waves next fall and spring? We have those models and pockets full of suppositions, theories, terrors.
Here’s what I think about the disease just now (subject to further evidence): it’s not just another flu. It operates differently, its more lethal, it affects many organs and can damage them permanently, and it spreads rapidly. That seems to have been the consensus of public health officials the world round who promoted the lockdown policy – and it’s hard to believe that they all got snookered into that. I have no idea (or opinion) whether Covid-19 was engineered, either as a bio-weapon or a good-faith science project gone awry… or whether some hapless gourmet got it at the Wild Animal Cafe.
The plague didn’t cause the economic crash. But the lockdown response certainly accelerated, amplified, and ramified it. The crash happened because we built up a hyper-complex, over-scaled, just-in-time economic system with all its ecological redundancy edited out for the sake of efficiency, making it hyper-fragile. The system’s basic power module (fossil fuel) was failing on a cost-basis and we tried to compensate for that with debt. The debt got out of hand in both sheer quantity and from the dishonest games that bankers and politicians were playing with it. All of this happened for the reason that most things happen in history: it seemed like a good idea at the time.
The old system is permanently broken now. We’re having a hard time recognizing that, plague or no plague. Many activities have flunked the scale challenge and will not come back to running the way they used to, generally anything organized at the giant scale: global supply chains, global corporations that depend on them, fracking for shale oil, big institutions like colleges and even public school systems, commercial aviation and tourism, the auto industry, show business (including the Disney empire and things like it), suburbia as a general proposition, skyscrapers and megastructures, shopping malls, pension funds, insurance companies, mega-banks, and, of course, medical conglomerates. We’re deceived by Amazon.com, which appears to be successful at the moment because it is filling a vacuum that Amazon will also eventually fall into. Amazon’s business model is a joke. The model is: every item purchased makes a separate journey by truck to the customer. That’s a “sell” signal to me.
The lockdown is making people crazy. It’s one thing to be stuck in the house with spouses and relatives you can barely stand under normal circumstances. But to see all your financial support systems melt down at the same time, along with the implications for your hopes-and-dreams, is a pretty big shock. Naturally so many want to bust out of the waking nightmare and get going, to return to action, to at least see whether what they were doing before all this happened might restart.
I dunno about that. They might flock back to restaurants to spend some of that fresh-minted $1200, and then what? Where will the next $1200 come from? Modern Monetary Theory? A new Guaranteed Basic Income? From what? From taxes paid by which businesses generating what profits from people too broke to buy goods and services? I don’t think so. Times have changed and we’re going to have to get some new good ideas that fit the new times.
But, the craziness out there is very likely to start expressing itself differently as we discover the urge to action does not produce the desired result of returning-to-normal.
