russia-insider--2020-03-20--Coronavirus Surges in Ukraine, Worsening an Already Hopeless Mess

Between the fallout of the murder of General Soleimani and the coronovirus , the Ukraine has been somewhat forgotten , which is understandable , but also potentially dangerous .
The “ young and dynamic ” President Zelenskii has more or less been forgotten , especially by the legacy corporate ziomedia .
This does not , however , mean that the situation there did not evolve or , in fact , that it is not becoming extremely dangerous .
So for those who did not keep an eye on the Ukraine , here is a short summary of what has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proven to be a total ZERO .
Simply put , neither he not his team can get anything done , anything at all .
I really mean nothing , nothing at all .
Second , while initially the victory of Zelenskii seem to indicate that the Ukronazis had suffered a crushing defeat , it now is completely obvious that Zelenskii lacks the will , or the means , or both , to tackle this huge problem .
Now the Ukronazis are back in force , they provoke Zelenskii on a daily basis , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ react and reassert his authority .
Third , in social and economic terms , the Ukraine is in free fall .
Following years of chaos and corruption the Ukraine is now a deindustrialized country which can sell only three things : men ( for menial jobs in Poland and in the EU ) , women ( prostitution ) and its “ black soil ” ( chernozem ) .
Once the land is sold , it will give the Ukrainian budget enough money to keep up the appearance of a state for a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so .
After that – it ’ s show over , curtain down , lights off and everybody go home… Fourth , it is pretty clear who the kingmaker of the Ukraine is : Arsen Avakov , the “ eternal ” ( by Ukrainian standards ) Minister of the Interior .
He not only has real firepower , he also seems to be able to turn the Ukronazi “ spigot ” on and off depending on his personal needs and circumstances .
Unlike the bona fide nutcases , Avakov does not strike me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , I would say that he is non-ideological – he is all about “ pure power ” .
This makes him a much more desirable “ partner ” for the Empire than real nutcases .
Fifth , while the Minsk Agreements are still more or less on the agenda , at least officially , the Ukronazis have been vocal enough in their protests to basically completely stall any meaningful negotiations .
Yes , prisoners will probably be exchanged , but beyond that I see any real progress as exceedingly unlikely .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kiev has made it very clear : there will be no negotiations with the Donbass , which simply means that there will be no negotiated solution .
It ’ s that simple , really .
Six , COVID19 has hit the Ukraine very , very hard .
The problem is that the authorities , which fully knew that they had no means to do anything meaningful began by thumping their chests and saying that there were no cases in the Ukraine only to then suddenly decree drastic quarantine measures .
And yet , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainians hospitals are full of cases , mostly un-diagnosed , and many have already died .
Officially , and as of right now , there are only 14 confirmed cases in the Ukraine , and only two fatalities .
But absolutely everybody knows that these numbers are totally fictional and that the real number of cases remains unknown due to a lack of testing kits , not a lack of cases .
MDs in Ukrainian hospitals are sounding the alarms , but nobody is listening .
Seventh , the situation is made even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not credible alternatives to Zelenskii .
There IS an opposition in the Ukraine , the typical Ukronazis nutcases and the generally pro-Russian politicians who are categorically and absolutely unacceptable to the ( much larger ) Ukronazi opposition .
Thus , there does not appear to be any political solution or alternative to the current regime .
Right now , the two politicians who appear to be the most competent are Vadim Rabinovich and Elena Lukash .
These two are very sharp and , frankly , very courageous , but they don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take on the Nazis .
Finally , there is Viktor Medvechuk whose main quality is also his biggest weakness : he is considered close to Putin .
These are all rather smart and courageous figures , but compared to the power of an Arsen Avakov – they are just soap bubbles .
Will that change in the future ?
Maybe , but not in the foreseeable future .
When a country enters a dramatic and deep systematic crisis , something must inevitably eventually give .
Right now there are relatively few protests simply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personality which could inspire people to rally and struggle for change .
Most Ukrainians are both absolutely exhausted and absolutely desperate .
They are into the “ survival mode ” which history has taught them and they simply wait .
Frankly , I can ’ t blame them .
My advise to all my Ukrainian contacts has been “ get out of there while you can ” , but if you can ’ t get out , then going into a survival mode is the only option .
Right now , the Ukronazis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a vengeance demanding that the Ukraine finally be transformed into the Banderastan they have been dreaming about for generations ( except they don ’ t use the word “ Banderastan ” but prefer the expression “ Banderstat ” .
Their strength is in their unity and firepower .
Their main weakness is that most Ukrainians hate them .
A most dangerous combination .
Some observers have suggested that a coup might take place .
I doubt it because I don ’ t see any person capable of leading such a coup .
Avakov @ @ @ @ @ @ @ *already* in power , he does not need a coup at all .
Furthermore , if an openly Ukronazi regime replaces Zelenskii , this will only further deepen the distress of the general population .
The truth is both as simple as it is terrible : there is no solution for the Ukraine .
None whatsoever .
So what could happen next ?
The basic ingredients are pretty predictable : protests , civil unrest , violence and , eventually , a break-up of the Ukraine into several entities .
In theory , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do this , at the very least , the following basic conditions have to be met : • The West and Russians must work together in a major reconstruction effort to rebuild the entire country , not only the war-devastated Donbass • The regime in Kiev must be acceptable to all three : the West , Russia and the Ukrainian people • The Ukronazis need to be disarmed and , when needed , either jailed or expelled As you can immediately tell , this is not happening .
Yes , some have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for example , this very interesting report from the Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group ( EASLG ) , in particular , take a good look at the “ Economic Steps ” and “ Political Steps ” suggested in this report .
The fact that a guy like Gen ( Ret ) Breedlove , former SACEUR and rabid Russia-hater , could sign this document is , by itself , quite amazing .
However , with the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic AND a brutal oil war threatening most economies of our planet , I expect the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Ukraine : they will be too busy scrambling to recover from the political fallout of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis .
As for Russia , there is absolutely no way that she will agree to foot the bill for the reconstruction of the Ukraine , nor will she provide the forces needed to get rid of the Ukronazis .
Which means that for the foreseeable future , the Ukraine will be mostly left on its own .
Russia will , of course , continue to support Novorussia ( for example , SARS-CoV-2 testing kits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distributing Russian passports to anyone wanting one ( the vast majority of the people of Novorussia ) .
The SARS-CoV-2/COVID19 pandemic will have huge political repercussions worldwide because in this specific case , not only will the AngloZionist propaganda machine not be able to hide the truth from the people ( if anything , all sorts of fake news and crazy rumors will have more “ street cred ” than what the politicians tell us ) , but the consequences of this crisis will be felt everywhere , including at home .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his pressers about how everything in the USA is “ the best ” , “ the greatest ” and “ the mightiest ” , but the truth is that the this virus will reveal not only the total inability of the private sector to save the day , it will also reveal how utterly dysfunctional the US , along most other western states really are ( no , Walmart and Amazon will not save the day ) .
No wonder the western politicians are scrambling to show how “ involved ” they all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cover their rear end for the inevitable “ lessons learned ” moment coming for all .
Maybe at some point in the future will see most US Americans reconsider what they think they know about Socialism and Libertarianism , especially when it becomes clear how different the reaction to the virus was in China and Russia compared to the EU or US .
But what will be only embarrassing for US politicians will , barring some kind of miracle , hit the Ukraine with consequences far worse than what we have seen up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Ukronazis are explaining that the Nazi salute is just perfect for this situation : not only do hands not touch , but the palm of the saluting head is facing the sun , which is hygienically good ( that , and a lot of Nazis are pagans , sun worship is common amongst them ) .
Right now , in what are still the early stages of the pandemic , almost nobody is paying attention ( most folks in the West have yet to understand that security , any and all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collective to be effective ) .
Right now , the bigger danger comes from the Ukrainians returning home from abroad .
But this will soon change , and the danger will become Ukrainians leaving the Ukraine .
At this point the EU countries will have to turn to the Kremlin for a common response to what promises to be a major disaster .

Between the fallout of the murder of General Soleimani and the coronovirus, the Ukraine has been somewhat forgotten, which is understandable, but also potentially dangerous. The “young and dynamic” President Zelenskii has more or less been forgotten, especially by the legacy corporate ziomedia. This does not, however, mean that the situation there did not evolve or, in fact, that it is not becoming extremely dangerous. So for those who did not keep an eye on the Ukraine, here is a short summary of what has been going on:
Summary of developments
First, Zelenskii has proven to be a total ZERO. Simply put, neither he not his team can get anything done, anything at all. I really mean nothing, nothing at all.
Second, while initially the victory of Zelenskii seem to indicate that the Ukronazis had suffered a crushing defeat, it now is completely obvious that Zelenskii lacks the will, or the means, or both, to tackle this huge problem. Now the Ukronazis are back in force, they provoke Zelenskii on a daily basis, but the man is simply unable to react and reassert his authority.
Third, in social and economic terms, the Ukraine is in free fall. Following years of chaos and corruption the Ukraine is now a deindustrialized country which can sell only three things: men (for menial jobs in Poland and in the EU), women (prostitution) and its “black soil” (chernozem). Once the land is sold, it will give the Ukrainian budget enough money to keep up the appearance of a state for a few more month, maybe a year or so. After that – it’s show over, curtain down, lights off and everybody go home…
Fourth, it is pretty clear who the kingmaker of the Ukraine is: Arsen Avakov, the “eternal” (by Ukrainian standards) Minister of the Interior. He not only has real firepower, he also seems to be able to turn the Ukronazi “spigot” on and off depending on his personal needs and circumstances. Unlike the bona fide nutcases, Avakov does not strike me as a Nazi at all, in fact, I would say that he is non-ideological – he is all about “pure power”.

Yes, prisoners will probably be exchanged, but beyond that I see any real progress as exceedingly unlikely. For all practical purposes, the regime in Kiev has made it very clear: there will be no negotiations with the Donbass, which simply means that there will be no negotiated solution. It’s that simple, really.
Six, COVID19 has hit the Ukraine very, very hard. The problem is that the authorities, which fully knew that they had no means to do anything meaningful began by thumping their chests and saying that there were no cases in the Ukraine only to then suddenly decree drastic quarantine measures.

These are all rather smart and courageous figures, but compared to the power of an Arsen Avakov – they are just soap bubbles. Will that change in the future? Maybe, but not in the foreseeable future.
Possible scenarios
When a country enters a dramatic and deep systematic crisis, something must inevitably eventually give. Right now there are relatively few protests simply because there is no political force of personality which could inspire people to rally and struggle for change. Most Ukrainians are both absolutely exhausted and absolutely desperate. They are into the “survival mode” which history has taught them and they simply wait. Frankly, I can’t blame them. My advise to all my Ukrainian contacts has been “get out of there while you can”, but if you can’t get out, then going into a survival mode is the only option.
Right now, the Ukronazis feel energized and they are back with a vengeance demanding that the Ukraine finally be transformed into the Banderastan they have been dreaming about for generations (except they don’t use the word “Banderastan” but prefer the expression “Banderstat”. Their strength is in their unity and firepower. Their main weakness is that most Ukrainians hate them. A most dangerous combination.
Some observers have suggested that a coup might take place. I doubt it because I don’t see any person capable of leading such a coup. Avakov would be ideal, but he is *already* in power, he does not need a coup at all. Furthermore, if an openly Ukronazi regime replaces Zelenskii, this will only further deepen the distress of the general population.
The truth is both as simple as it is terrible: there is no solution for the Ukraine. None whatsoever.
So what could happen next?
The basic ingredients are pretty predictable: protests, civil unrest, violence and, eventually, a break-up of the Ukraine into several entities.
In theory, this could be avoided, but in order to do this, at the very least, the following basic conditions have to be met:
The West and Russians must work together in a major reconstruction effort to rebuild the entire country, not only the war-devastated Donbass The regime in Kiev must be acceptable to all three: the West, Russia and the Ukrainian people The Ukronazis need to be disarmed and, when needed, either jailed or expelled
As you can immediately tell, this is not happening.
Yes, some have begun thinking about this issue, see, for example, this very interesting report from the Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group (EASLG), in particular, take a good look at the “Economic Steps” and “Political Steps” suggested in this report. The fact that a guy like Gen (Ret) Breedlove, former SACEUR and rabid Russia-hater, could sign this document is, by itself, quite amazing.
However, with the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic AND a brutal oil war threatening most economies of our planet, I expect the western nations to simply lose interest in the Ukraine: they will be too busy scrambling to recover from the political fallout of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis. As for Russia, there is absolutely no way that she will agree to foot the bill for the reconstruction of the Ukraine, nor will she provide the forces needed to get rid of the Ukronazis. Which means that for the foreseeable future, the Ukraine will be mostly left on its own. Russia will, of course, continue to support Novorussia (for example, SARS-CoV-2 testing kits have already arrived from Russia) while distributing Russian passports to anyone wanting one (the vast majority of the people of Novorussia).
Conclusion
The SARS-CoV-2/COVID19 pandemic will have huge political repercussions worldwide because in this specific case, not only will the AngloZionist propaganda machine not be able to hide the truth from the people (if anything, all sorts of fake news and crazy rumors will have more “street cred” than what the politicians tell us), but the consequences of this crisis will be felt everywhere, including at home. So Trump can go on in each of his pressers about how everything in the USA is “the best”, “the greatest” and “the mightiest”, but the truth is that the this virus will reveal not only the total inability of the private sector to save the day, it will also reveal how utterly dysfunctional the US, along most other western states really are (no, Walmart and Amazon will not save the day). No wonder the western politicians are scrambling to show how “involved” they all are – they are simply trying to cover their rear end for the inevitable “lessons learned” moment coming for all. Maybe at some point in the future will see most US Americans reconsider what they think they know about Socialism and Libertarianism, especially when it becomes clear how different the reaction to the virus was in China and Russia compared to the EU or US.
The sad truth about the “indispensable nation” is not slowly coming out. First and trickle, but then the inevitable tsunami
Them Chinese commies not only beat the virus in a record time, they are helping the dying capitalists (who, by the way, are not helping each other!)
But what will be only embarrassing for US politicians will, barring some kind of miracle, hit the Ukraine with consequences far worse than what we have seen up until now.
For the time being, the Ukronazis are explaining that the Nazi salute is just perfect for this situation: not only do hands not touch, but the palm of the saluting head is facing the sun, which is hygienically good (that, and a lot of Nazis are pagans, sun worship is common amongst them).
Right now, in what are still the early stages of the pandemic, almost nobody is paying attention (most folks in the West have yet to understand that security, any and all form of security, must always be collective to be effective). Right now, the bigger danger comes from the Ukrainians returning home from abroad. But this will soon change, and the danger will become Ukrainians leaving the Ukraine. At this point the EU countries will have to turn to the Kremlin for a common response to what promises to be a major disaster.

Coronavirus and the Gates Foundation

Arguably , no one has been more active in promoting and funding research on vaccines aimed at dealing with coronavirus than Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
From sponsoring a simulation of a coronavirus global pandemic , just weeks before the Wuhan outbreak was announced , to funding numerous corporate efforts to come up with a novel vaccine for the apparently novel virus , the Gates presence is there .
What does it actually entail ?
We must admit that at the very least Bill Gates is prophetic .
He has claimed for years that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are not prepared for it .
On March 18 , 2015 Gates gave a TED talk on epidemics in Vancouver .
That day he wrote on his blog , “ I just gave a brief talk on a subject that I ’ ve been learning a lot about lately—epidemics .
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is a tragedy—as I write this , more than 10,000 people have died.
” Gates then added , “ As awful as this epidemic has been , the next one could be much worse .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a disease—an especially virulent flu , for example—that infects large numbers of people very quickly .
Of all the things that could kill 10 million people or more , by far the most likely is an epidemic.
” That same year , 2015 , Bill Gates wrote an article for the New England Journal of Medicine titled , “ The Next Epidemic : Lessons from Ebola.
” There he spoke of a special class of drugs that “ involves giving patients a set of particular RNA-based constructs that enables them to produce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is a very new area , it is promising because it is possible that a safe therapy could be designed and put into large-scale manufacture fairly rapidly .
More basic research as well as the progress of companies like Moderna and CureVac could eventually make this approach a key tool for stopping epidemics.
” Moderna and CureVac both today receive funds from the Gates Foundation and are leading the race to develop an approved COVID-19 vaccine based on mRNA .
A global flu-like pandemic in fact is something that Gates and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In 2017 during the Davos World Economic Forum , Gates initiated something called CEPI , the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations , together with the governments of Norway , India , Japan , and Germany , along with the Wellcome Trust of the UK .
Its stated purpose is to “ accelerate the development of vaccines we ’ ll need to contain outbreaks ” of future epidemics .
He noted at the time that “ One promising area of vaccine development research is using advances in genomics to map the DNA and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We will return to that .
By 2019 Bill Gates and the foundation were going full-tilt boogie with their pandemic scenarios .
He made a Netflix video which made an eerie imaginary scenario .
The video , part of the “ Explained ” series , imagined a wet market in China where live and dead animals are stacked and a highly deadly virus erupts that spreads globally .
Gates appears as an expert in the video to warn , “ If you think of anything that could come along that would kill millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greatest risk.
” He said if nothing was done to better prepare for pandemics , the time would come when the world would look back and wish it had invested more into potential vaccines .
That was weeks before the world heard about bats and a live wet market in Wuhan China .
In October , 2019 the Gates Foundation teamed up with the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to enact what they called a “ fictional ” scenario simulation involving some of the world ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was titled Event 201 .
As their website describes it , Event 201 simulated an “ outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person , leading to a severe pandemic .
The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS , but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.
” In the Event 201 scenario the disease originates at a pig farm in Brazil , spreading through low-income regions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease is carried by air travel to Portugal , the USA and China and beyond to the point no country can control it .
The scenario posits no possible vaccine being available in the first year .
“ Since the whole human population is susceptible , during the initial months of the pandemic , the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially , doubling every week.
” The scenario then ends after 18 months when the fictional coronavirus has caused 65 million deaths .
“ The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed.
” As interesting as the prescient Gates-Johns Hopkins Event 201 fictional scenario of October , 2019 may be , the list of panelists who were invited to participate in the imaginary global response is equally interesting .
Among the selected “ players ” as they were called , was George Fu Gao .
Notably , Prof. Gao is director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention since 2017 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influenza virus interspecies transmission ( host jump ) … He is also interested in virus ecology , especially the relationship between influenza virus and migratory birds or live poultry markets and the bat-derived virus ecology and molecular biology.
” Bat-derived virus ecology… Prof. Gao was joined among others at the panel by the former Deputy Director of the CIA during the Obama term , Avril Haines .
She also served as Obama ’ s Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor .
Another of the players at the Gates event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) .
The same CDC is at the center of a huge scandal for not having adequate functioning tests available for testing cases of COVID-19 in the USA .
Their preparedness was anything but laudable .
Rounding out the group was Adrian Thomas , the Vice President of scandal-ridden Johnson & Johnson , the giant medical and pharmaceutical company .
Thomas is responsible for pandemic preparedness at J & J including developing vaccines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And there was Martin Knuchel , Head of Crisis , Emergency & Business Continuity Management , for Lufthansa Group Airlines .
Lufthansa has been one of the major airlines dramatically cutting flights during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis .
All this shows that Bill Gates has had a remarkable preoccupation with the possibility of a global pandemic outbreak he said could be even larger than the alleged deaths from the mysterious 1918 Spanish Flu , and has been warning for at least the past five years or more .
What the Bill & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in is funding development of new vaccines using bleeding-edge CRISPR gene-editing and other technologies .
Gates Foundation money is backing vaccine development on every front .
Inovio Pharmaceuticals of Pennsylvania received $ 9 million from the Gates-backed CEPI , Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations , to develop a vaccine , INO-4800 , which is about to test on humans in April , a suspiciously rapid time frame .
In addition Gates Foundation just gave the company an added $ 5 million to develop a proprietary smart device for intradermal delivery of the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ via CEPI are financing development of a radical new vaccine method known as messengerRNA or mRNA .
They are co-funding the Cambridge , Massachusetts biotech company , Moderna Inc. , to develop a vaccine against the Wuhan novel coronavirus , now called SARS-CoV-2 .
Moderna ’ s other partner is the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , a part of the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) .
Head of NIAID is Dr Anthony Fauci , the person at the center of the Trump Administration virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moderna coronavirus vaccine , mRNA-1273 , is that it has been rolled out in a matter of weeks , not years , and on February 24 went directly to Fauci ’ s NIH for tests on human guinea pigs , not on mice as normal .
Moderna ’ s chief medical adviser , Tal Zaks , argued , “ I don ’ t think proving this in an animal model is on the critical path to getting this to a clinical trial.
” Another notable admission by Moderna on its website is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Forward-Looking Statements : …These risks , uncertainties , and other factors include , among others : … the fact that there has never been a commercial product utilizing mRNA technology approved for use.
” In other words , completely unproven for human health and safety .
Another biotech company working with unproven mRNA technology to develop a vaccine for the COVID-19 is a German company , CureVac .
Since 2015 CureVac has received money from the Gates Foundation to develop its own mRNA technology .
In January the Gates-backed CEPI granted more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine for the novel coronavirus .
Add to this the fact that the Gates Foundation and related entities such as CEPI constitute the largest funders of the public-private entity known as WHO , and that its current director , Tedros Adhanom , the first WHO director in history not a medical doctor , worked for years on HIV with the Gates Foundation when Tedros was a government minister in Ethiopia , and we see that there is practically no area of the current coronavirus pandemic where the footprints of the omnipresent Gates are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to the good of mankind or grounds to be worried , time will tell .
F. William Engdahl is strategic risk consultant and lecturer , he holds a degree in politics from Princeton University and is a best-selling author on oil and geopolitics , exclusively for the online magazine “ New Eastern Outlook .
”

Arguably, no one has been more active in promoting and funding research on vaccines aimed at dealing with coronavirus than Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. From sponsoring a simulation of a coronavirus global pandemic, just weeks before the Wuhan outbreak was announced, to funding numerous corporate efforts to come up with a novel vaccine for the apparently novel virus, the Gates presence is there. What does it actually entail?
We must admit that at the very least Bill Gates is prophetic. He has claimed for years that a global killer pandemic will come and that we are not prepared for it. On March 18, 2015 Gates gave a TED talk on epidemics in Vancouver. That day he wrote on his blog, “I just gave a brief talk on a subject that I’ve been learning a lot about lately—epidemics. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is a tragedy—as I write this, more than 10,000 people have died.” Gates then added, “As awful as this epidemic has been, the next one could be much worse.

More basic research as well as the progress of companies like Moderna and CureVac could eventually make this approach a key tool for stopping epidemics.” Moderna and CureVac both today receive funds from the Gates Foundation and are leading the race to develop an approved COVID-19 vaccine based on mRNA.
2017 and Founding of CEPI
A global flu-like pandemic in fact is something that Gates and his well-endowed foundation have spent years preparing for. In 2017 during the Davos World Economic Forum, Gates initiated something called CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, together with the governments of Norway, India, Japan, and Germany, along with the Wellcome Trust of the UK. Its stated purpose is to “accelerate the development of vaccines we’ll need to contain outbreaks” of future epidemics. He noted at the time that “One promising area of vaccine development research is using advances in genomics to map the DNA and RNA of pathogens and make vaccines.” We will return to that.
Event 201
By 2019 Bill Gates and the foundation were going full-tilt boogie with their pandemic scenarios. He made a Netflix video which made an eerie imaginary scenario. The video, part of the “Explained” series, imagined a wet market in China where live and dead animals are stacked and a highly deadly virus erupts that spreads globally. Gates appears as an expert in the video to warn, “If you think of anything that could come along that would kill millions of people, a pandemic is our greatest risk.” He said if nothing was done to better prepare for pandemics, the time would come when the world would look back and wish it had invested more into potential vaccines. That was weeks before the world heard about bats and a live wet market in Wuhan China.
In October, 2019 the Gates Foundation teamed up with the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to enact what they called a “fictional” scenario simulation involving some of the world’s leading figures in public health. It was titled Event 201.
As their website describes it, Event 201 simulated an “outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.”
In the Event 201 scenario the disease originates at a pig farm in Brazil, spreading through low-income regions and ultimately explodes into an epidemic. The disease is carried by air travel to Portugal, the USA and China and beyond to the point no country can control it. The scenario posits no possible vaccine being available in the first year. “Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week.”
The scenario then ends after 18 months when the fictional coronavirus has caused 65 million deaths. “The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed.”
Event 201 Players
As interesting as the prescient Gates-Johns Hopkins Event 201 fictional scenario of October, 2019 may be, the list of panelists who were invited to participate in the imaginary global response is equally interesting.
Among the selected “players” as they were called, was George Fu Gao. Notably, Prof. Gao is director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention since 2017. His specialization includes research on “influenza virus interspecies transmission (host jump)… He is also interested in virus ecology, especially the relationship between influenza virus and migratory birds or live poultry markets and the bat-derived virus ecology and molecular biology.” Bat-derived virus ecology…
Prof. Gao was joined among others at the panel by the former Deputy Director of the CIA during the Obama term, Avril Haines. She also served as Obama’s Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor. Another of the players at the Gates event was Rear Admiral Stephen C. Redd, Director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The same CDC is at the center of a huge scandal for not having adequate functioning tests available for testing cases of COVID-19 in the USA. Their preparedness was anything but laudable.
Rounding out the group was Adrian Thomas, the Vice President of scandal-ridden Johnson & Johnson, the giant medical and pharmaceutical company. Thomas is responsible for pandemic preparedness at J&J including developing vaccines for Ebola, Dengue Fever, HIV. And there was Martin Knuchel, Head of Crisis, Emergency & Business Continuity Management, for Lufthansa Group Airlines. Lufthansa has been one of the major airlines dramatically cutting flights during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
All this shows that Bill Gates has had a remarkable preoccupation with the possibility of a global pandemic outbreak he said could be even larger than the alleged deaths from the mysterious 1918 Spanish Flu, and has been warning for at least the past five years or more. What the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation also has been involved in is funding development of new vaccines using bleeding-edge CRISPR gene-editing and other technologies.
The Coronavirus Vaccines
Gates Foundation money is backing vaccine development on every front. Inovio Pharmaceuticals of Pennsylvania received $9 million from the Gates-backed CEPI, Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, to develop a vaccine, INO-4800, which is about to test on humans in April, a suspiciously rapid time frame. In addition Gates Foundation just gave the company an added $5 million to develop a proprietary smart device for intradermal delivery of the new vaccine.
In addition Gates Foundation monies via CEPI are financing development of a radical new vaccine method known as messengerRNA or mRNA.
They are co-funding the Cambridge, Massachusetts biotech company, Moderna Inc., to develop a vaccine against the Wuhan novel coronavirus, now called SARS-CoV-2. Moderna’s other partner is the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Head of NIAID is Dr Anthony Fauci, the person at the center of the Trump Administration virus emergency response. Notable about the Fauci-Gates Moderna coronavirus vaccine, mRNA-1273, is that it has been rolled out in a matter of weeks, not years, and on February 24 went directly to Fauci’s NIH for tests on human guinea pigs, not on mice as normal. Moderna’s chief medical adviser, Tal Zaks, argued, “I don’t think proving this in an animal model is on the critical path to getting this to a clinical trial.”
Another notable admission by Moderna on its website is the legal disclaimer, “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: …These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others: … the fact that there has never been a commercial product utilizing mRNA technology approved for use.” In other words, completely unproven for human health and safety.
Another biotech company working with unproven mRNA technology to develop a vaccine for the COVID-19 is a German company, CureVac. Since 2015 CureVac has received money from the Gates Foundation to develop its own mRNA technology. In January the Gates-backed CEPI granted more than $8 million to develop a mRNA vaccine for the novel coronavirus.
Add to this the fact that the Gates Foundation and related entities such as CEPI constitute the largest funders of the public-private entity known as WHO, and that its current director, Tedros Adhanom, the first WHO director in history not a medical doctor, worked for years on HIV with the Gates Foundation when Tedros was a government minister in Ethiopia, and we see that there is practically no area of the current coronavirus pandemic where the footprints of the omnipresent Gates are not to be found. If that is to the good of mankind or grounds to be worried, time will tell.

A massive wave of virus testing is running across the world’s largest country. Anyone that in the course of the last two weeks has been abroad should be provided laboratory testing, the Russian Consumer and Welfare Agency has decided.
The agency also wants to test people who have been abroad in the course of the last month, if they have approached public health centers with influenza-like symptoms.
The decree was signed already on the 13th March, but published on the agency website only on the 18th.
Among the people covered by the decree are the several hundred thousands that have crossed the borders between Russia and the neighboring Nordic countries. Only across the Russian-Norwegian border traveled more than 21,000 people in the course of February.
Growing numbers
Russian authorities are now grappling with a quickly increasing number of citizens infected with the coronavirus. By Wednesday 18th March, a total of 147 Russians had officially contracted the virus, an increase of 33 from the previous day.
At least three of the cases are in northern Russia, among them them Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and the Komi Republic.
In a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on the 17th March, federal Health Minister Tatiana Golikova underlined that Russia has experienced limited spreading of the virus thanks to measures taken by federal authorities already in January.
“Foreign virus”
She also made clear that the spreading so far exclusively comes from abroad. And the small number of infected people that have not been abroad have all contracted the virus after contact with travelers.
«Of course, thanks God, it is not being spread in the Russian Federation, it is [only] contact infection, people living with those that have been in unfavorable countries,» Golikova told the President.
According to the health minister, a total of 110,000 virus tests have so far been made in the country. And that number will soon double, she underlined.
FSB virus hunt
The Federal Security Service is ready to assist the authoities in tracing potential carriers of the virus. According to SeverPost, the FSB in Murmansk is now looking for infected people across the region.
Hospitals prepared
Russian healthcare institutions are now well prepared to handle the situation, the Russian government informs. More than 55,000 hospital beds are available, among them 12,000 in intensive care units, and there are a total of 296 observatory units across the country. More than 40,000 ventilators for respiratory lung care are ready for use, and all hospitals in the country have storages of medicine and protective gear sufficient for two weeks.
According to Health Minister Golikova, the number of pneumonia cases, and death from pneumonia, is actually lower this year in a number of Russian regions compared with 2019.
«Therefore I would once again like to underline that there is no reason what so ever to panic,» she assured Putin.


russia-insider--2020-03-23--Corona Is a Very Mild Virus, No More Deadly Than Many Others We Don’t Make a Fuss About

Let ’ s get one thing straight .
In terms of capacity to kill you SARS-CoV-2-19 is an extraordinarily weak virus .
The fatality rates being thrown around are all over the place , 8 % for Italy , 3.4 % from WHO , 2 % from the early days for China .
But there is a good reason to believe all of these are nonsensical .
They ’ re accurate for what they represent , which is the ratio between recorded instances of infection and fatalities where infection was present , but they are absolutely not the fatality rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the COVID-19 disease .
Data from Italy suggests the median age of fatalities is 79.5 years , where Italian life expectancy is 82.5 years .
Of the 2500+ victims , only 17 were under 50 .
Also , 99 percent of all fatalities had pre-existing conditions .
True enough , Italian health authorities were rather liberal in their inclusion of “ pre-existing conditions ” counting even often rather benign conditions like high blood pressure .
But there is something else you have to consider : • 48.5 percent of those died had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had at least two • The thing about statistics of natural phenomena is that there ’ s a sea of difference between something occurring 95 % of the time and 99 % of the time .
For example , at a normal distribution to go from covering 95 % of the population to 99.7 % you need to go from 2 standard deviations to 3 .
If 90 percent of fatalities had at least one pre-existing condition I ’ d think nothing of it , but tell me it ’ s 99 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got my attention .
So then , how is it that a viral disease that according to empirical data collected by Italian health authorities has the capacity to kill only the most enfeebled of us is stacking up a kill rate of 2 , 3.4 or 8 percent ?
Simple : It isn ’ t .
In fact , this data indicates that SARS-CoV-2-19 is very similar to other coronaviruses in that it represents next to no risk to a healthy individual , but can stack up a body count when it encounters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ …even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8 % when they infect elderly people in nursing homes .
In fact , such “ mild ” coronaviruses infect tens of millions of people every year , and account for 3 % to 11 % of those hospitalized in the U.S. with lower respiratory infections each winter .
These “ mild ” coronaviruses may be implicated in several thousands of deaths every year worldwide , though the vast majority of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Instead , they are lost as noise among 60 million deaths from various causes every year .
In fact , the actual infection death rate is almost certainly below 1 % , possibly as low as 0.05 % ( a death rate of 1 in 2000 ) : The one situation where an entire , closed population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and its quarantine passengers .
The case fatality rate there was 1.0 % , but this was a largely elderly population , in which the death rate from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Diamond Princess mortality rate onto the age structure of the U.S. population , the death rate among people infected with Covid-19 would be 0.125 % .
But since this estimate is based on extremely thin data — there were just seven deaths among the 700 infected passengers and crew — the real death rate could stretch from five times lower ( 0.025 % ) to five times higher ( 0.625 % ) .
It is also possible that some of the passengers who were infected might die later , and that tourists may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a risk factor for worse outcomes with SARS-CoV-2 infection — than the general population .
Adding these extra sources of uncertainty , reasonable estimates for the case fatality ratio in the general U.S. population vary from 0.05 % to 1 % .
Keep in mind that a virus is driven only to multiply and to spread .
To accomplish that it has to sneak past your immune system , or disable it , or fight it , but it doesn ’ t gain anything from killing the host .
To the contrary , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further and , as it does not have cells of its own , to even fully exist .
Evolutionary successful viruses , which the coronaviruses are , do not cause massive damage to the host — albeit the damage they do cause may be enough to push someone who is already frail over the edge .
Ah , but supposedly SARS-CoV-2 is a new specimen from the coronavirus family that has mutated in a way that for it this is no longer holds true .
That is possible in principle , but as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t where data is pointing to .
Of course , even if it is no more lethal than some of the other coronaviruses that we make zero fuss about SARS-CoV-2 could still be a uniquely dangerous threat if it was far more contagious .
I wonder if that is true either .
Sure the figures on its spread that media is serving daily look impressive when they ’ re served in a vacuum and when that is everything anyone talks about and looks at .
But what is the context ?
How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with numbers on your run-of-the-mill influenza pandemic that we ’ re hit with each winter ?
And who is to say this spread started only just now ?
Seeing just how mild and non-lethal the SARS-CoV-2 is , is it possible it was already present but we just didn ’ t notice it , and what we ’ re following right now isn ’ t so much its spread , but rather its discovery , detection , and mapping ?
After all , it ’ s not as if coronaviruses had not been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along :

Russia will launch a pilot project for mass screening of the population for the coronavirus COVID-19 in April.
Specialists will use the unique Russian-Japanese system, which displays the result in 30 minutes.
The project will be handled by the Coronavirus Alliance, which includes the Russian Direct Investment Fund, the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Yandex and Mail.ru.
They agreed on this on March 19 following the meeting held by Prime Minister Mishustin.
The government itself, in turn, today decided how to keep the disease situation under control and how to support the economy.
Alexey Petrov reports:
Russia has experience in combating epidemics, and at the international level, too. And the country will cope with the pandemic, emphasizes Prime Minister Mishustin.
The main thing now is the clarity and coherence of the work of all government agencies. A government official statement released today lists resources.
At the disposal of physicians - 40 thousand mechanical ventilation devices, 55 thousand infectious beds are deployed, 7,500 boxes for patients are prepared. A stock of medicines and personal protective equipment has been created. Medical organizations are ready for various scenarios.
We have also set up production of diagnostic test systems and organized testing of all people who are in our country from the countries where this infection is spread. And also those with whom they contacted.
There are already over seven hundred such test systems. They will be sent to all regions.
In addition, the state will financially support doctors who are now working without rest. Almost 12 billion rubles is additionally allocated from the budget for this.
Another major topic is the provision of essential goods. They will be monitored strictly including price control.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Federal Tax Service, the Federal State Statistics Service and the government’s communication center will begin operational monitoring of all prices in every region, in every retail chain and pharmacy on March 20th. This applies to food, children's goods, medicines, and medical products, and, of course, disinfectants and personal protective equipment.
A sufficient level of stocks of such products should be formed in retail chains. These are shelves of a Moscow supermarket: there are plenty to choose from.
A similar picture in Tula - canned food, vegetables, sugar, everything is in place. But if something runs out, it is promptly brought from the warehouse.
One of the pasta factories in Chelyabinsk, the work is going smoothly here, as well as at the flour mill in Ryazan. It is increased flour production in the Stavropol Territory. We switched to full capacity - fifty tons per day.
There are products. Nobody closes. And we are ready to provide everyone with products in the normal mode.
From March 20, for a month, all restrictions on the supply of essential goods are canceled. Customs duties on imports, for example, of medicines and medical devices, are suspended.
But the Russian industry should produce more masks and protective equipment. It will be tracked online. To do this, a single information center is being created where information will be received for each region.
Online drug sales without prescription will be simplified. But control, on the contrary, will be strengthened so that there is no counterfeit.
Particular attention of the state to those areas where the situation is most difficult. Deferrals are also provided for tax payments.
I have already instructed to provide such a delay to the tourism industry and air carriers by the 1st of May.
In addition, we decided to exempt tour operators this year from paying contributions to the reserve fund of the Turoperators help association.
In the near future, the Ministry of Economic Development, together with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transport and, of course, with Rostourism, will develop a procedure for compensation for losses of tour operators that are associated with irrevocable tariffs for air travel.

russia-insider--2020-03-23--Anti-Immigration Site VDARE Buys 4000 Sq. Ft, 1895 Castle in Iconic W. Virginia Resort (Video)

Peter and I , and the VDARE Foundation board , are delighted to announce the acquisition of the historic Berkeley Springs Castle , aka the Samuel Taylor Suit Cottage , in the beautiful resort town of Berkeley Springs West Virginia .
Owning our own meeting space has been a goal for many years , and it ’ s truly an honor to have this achievement manifested in such a stunning and important property .
Built into the side of Warm Spring Mountain , surrounded by forested ridges and valleys and with a view of the natural hot springs where George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ represents the perfect combination of refinement and wilderness , the twin beauties of America ’ s cultural and natural resources .
In line with VDARE.com ’ s mission of being the voice for the Historic American Nation , it is our hope that this property will come to represent a first major step toward greater shared knowledge about the nation ’ s past , present and future .
The VDARE Foundation values the strengthening of regional identities and local pride and the protection and celebration of America ’ s national heritage .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ property , I read many accounts of the Castle ’ s history .
One of the most illuminating was a small pamphlet titled Berkeley Castle by local postmaster and town historian Frederick T. Newbraugh .
From the preface : Old Castles , wherever they are located in the world , invite sagas of romance , intrigue , mystery , and thriller stories .
The Suit Castle is no exception .
Because so little is known and that so little is overshadowed by more interesting and entertaining hoax , it was exceptionally vulnerable to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fantasy .
Frequently articles appear in neighborhood daily papers by eager beaver youthful reporters looking for an exciting story .
They used quotation marks , the journalist ’ s escape hatch , as a preemptive disclaimer for inaccuracies in the story ( poor reporting ) .
They seldom retract or correct their stories and if they do it ’ s in the fine print .
This hit-and-run journalism is bad because in years to come it will be repeated by another novice .
Some have been so unreasonable that a seasoned writer would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and if not satisfied seek second and third opinions .
Then there is something called research .
Another charming line from Newbraugh can be found in his application for the spas of Berkeley Springs ’ entry to the National Historic Register .
He wrote , with regard to the building of the public bathhouses : “ An assembly-room and theater were also constructed for the innocent and rational amusements for the polite who may assemble there.
” We hope to carry on that tradition at the Castle .
Of course , “ hit-and-run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We at the VDARE Foundation know this all too well .
And yet , despite hoax and disinformation , the castle stands .
And despite smears and attacks , VDARE.com thrives .
This is due entirely to the generosity of readers like you .
Our donors are always generous and highly engaged , but 2019 was a special year .
Several donors stepped forward in an unprecedented way .
Each expressed a desire to make a material difference with their gifts .
( Click here to donate , if you want to join @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can meet and share ideas without fear of deplatforming will make a difference so material it is hard to overstate .
And for that we will be forever grateful .
Thank you , donors large and small , for making such a huge impact .
We are enormously grateful to you–and everyone who is helping to keep America American .

Peter and I, and the VDARE Foundation board, are delighted to announce the acquisition of the historic Berkeley Springs Castle, aka the Samuel Taylor Suit Cottage, in the beautiful resort town of Berkeley Springs West Virginia.
Owning our own meeting space has been a goal for many years, and it’s truly an honor to have this achievement manifested in such a stunning and important property.
Built into the side of Warm Spring Mountain, surrounded by forested ridges and valleys and with a view of the natural hot springs where George Washington famously bathed, this stunning property represents the perfect combination of refinement and wilderness, the twin beauties of America’s cultural and natural resources.
In line with VDARE.com’s mission of being the voice for the Historic American Nation, it is our hope that this property will come to represent a first major step toward greater shared knowledge about the nation’s past, present and future. The VDARE Foundation values the strengthening of regional identities and local pride and the protection and celebration of America’s national heritage. This castle does both.
In researching this property, I read many accounts of the Castle’s history. One of the most illuminating was a small pamphlet titled Berkeley Castle by local postmaster and town historian Frederick T. Newbraugh. From the preface:
Old Castles, wherever they are located in the world, invite sagas of romance, intrigue, mystery, and thriller stories. The Suit Castle is no exception. Because so little is known and that so little is overshadowed by more interesting and entertaining hoax, it was exceptionally vulnerable to embellishment by those chroniclers of fiction and fantasy. Frequently articles appear in neighborhood daily papers by eager beaver youthful reporters looking for an exciting story. They used quotation marks, the journalist’s escape hatch, as a preemptive disclaimer for inaccuracies in the story (poor reporting). They seldom retract or correct their stories and if they do it’s in the fine print. This hit-and-run journalism is bad because in years to come it will be repeated by another novice. Some have been so unreasonable that a seasoned writer would have been alerted to ask for references and if not satisfied seek second and third opinions. Then there is something called research.
Another charming line from Newbraugh can be found in his application for the spas of Berkeley Springs’ entry to the National Historic Register. He wrote, with regard to the building of the public bathhouses: “An assembly-room and theater were also constructed for the innocent and rational amusements for the polite who may assemble there.”
We hope to carry on that tradition at the Castle.
Of course, “hit-and-run” journalism has only gotten worse. We at the VDARE Foundation know this all too well.
And yet, despite hoax and disinformation, the castle stands. And despite smears and attacks, VDARE.com thrives.
This is due entirely to the generosity of readers like you.
Our donors are always generous and highly engaged, but 2019 was a special year. Several donors stepped forward in an unprecedented way. Each expressed a desire to make a material difference with their gifts. (Click here to donate, if you want to join in!)
Having a space where we can meet and share ideas without fear of deplatforming will make a difference so material it is hard to overstate. And for that we will be forever grateful.
Thank you, donors large and small, for making such a huge impact. We are enormously grateful to you–and everyone who is helping to keep America American.

Russia's Defense Ministry announced over the weekend that starting Sunday the military will deploy medical help to hard-hit Italy, the coronavirus epicenter in Europe which has seen its death toll take record jumps in the past days, now approaching 5,000 killed from the disease.
The Kremlin said the emergency aid was initiated on orders from President Vladimir Putin after he spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Saturday, and will include eight mobile brigades of military medics and special disinfection vehicles.
The operation will see Russia's top military specialists in virology and epidemics deploy to the hardest hit regions of Italy. The doctors and specialized equipment is being flown on nine Il-76 aircraft from an airfield outside Moscow.
"A group of some 100 people is ready for the flight, which consists of leading specialists of the Russian Defense Ministry in the field of virology and epidemiology, who have major international experience in fighting against the epidemic along with modern equipment for diagnosing and carrying out disinfection efforts," the ministry said.
Russia currently has only 306 confirmed cases and one death, most concentrated in Moscow.
EXCLUSIVE: This is the number of ventilators (which a fraction of #COVID19 patients need to breathe) in regions across Russia.
Even rural Russian areas beat Italy's average — and the U.S.'s, and the U.K.'s. But that may not mean much in the big picture: https://t.co/1G8ur5Tq03 pic.twitter.com/l2OS0KZ8CW — Meduza in English (@meduza_en) March 20, 2020
The country is also said to be well-stocked with necessary equipment which has been in short supply in some places in the West, such as ventilators.
Italy recorded its biggest jump in deaths yet throughout the crisis — at 800 in a single 24-hour period — on Saturday.

The Impossible Becomes Possible
The fact that so few people control so many trillions of dollars on the market in liberal “democracies” around the world means that no amount of federal reserve rate cuts or handouts to banks can alone save the economy. In Canada, the stock market collapse is historic. In Britain, the Pound is in a free fall as international speculators start betting on the US dollar (sorry gold-bugs). The trend in capitalist nations around the world is to lower bank lending rates, which so far has led to short term 1-day rallies that are followed by another dive. What are interest rates going to do after you’ve hit 0%?
The public’s dash for toilet paper, food, water and dollars is partially a product of elite fright — the only thing that really trickles down to workers from the stock market. It’s not just about getting sick, the oligarchs are afraid there will be a slave revolt if a Great Depression tier contraction intersects with many 9/11’s worth of human carnage. Peter Turchin previously predicted that a pandemic or economic meltdown would lead to the collapse of the already fragile neo-liberal order during the 2020s and many laughed.
They’re not laughing now. Suddenly, what Jews like Steven Pinker have held is an “impossible” task — closing borders and stopping immigration — has been made reality overnight in Europe, Canada, and to some degree America.
Now, the GOP has dropped its “socialism vs America” crap to outflank the corporate Democrats from the left and propose drastic state action to prevent electoral slaughter next November. The open borders anti-white left has been shoved out of the way and eliminated from the conversation entirely. Liberal ideologues, whether economic (GOP) or cultural (the “woke” left), have finally shut the hell up so that we can have a serious conversation about our nation, though I suspect they will reboot the white noise machine the second they think the coast is clear.
In Europe, the European Union is doing the bare minimum to help Northern Italy as it is ravaged, raising the question as to what the point of regional integration even is. After initially pledging to sit back and watch Italy financially explode, leaving them with all the downsides of a Euro and none of the ups, it seems Christine Lagarde has now changed her mind as her owners started to taste the backwash. But nations are still turtling up on a very primal level. The Schengen zone has been temporarily suspended and it is now almost impossible for non-Europeans to enter the continent. Germany has declared that it will not be sharing crucial medical supplies. The supposed solidarity the EU claims to represent with its member states just isn’t there, much less for aliens who should not be allowed to immigrate to Europe by the millions to begin with.
The EU’s only point seems to be as a corral for sovereign countries for high finance’s benefit, as well as a cash cow to produce record profits for French and German corporations, who swamp smaller nations with their products and loan them cheap credit to buy them in order to hollow out the manufacturing of their neighbors and make them permanent debt-slaves.
As citizens of the West, we now ask: Why do we only stop immigration when there’s a pandemic? Why is the largely white middle and working class only entitled to decent health care when it’s coronavirus and not any of the countless other crippling diseases that people die from, often getting into massive debt in the process? Why does Mike Pence only express solidarity with the tribulations of average Americans now? Why are so many people living paycheck to paycheck, indebted up to their eyes or working as “independent contractors” for “gigs” that provide absolutely no benefits, no stability or even basic worker’s rights?
It is now, during a meltdown finally impacting those at the very top, that the public sees clearly that what they constantly vote for and never get is a product of corruption rather than inability.
The Price of Doing the Wrong Thing
Corporations, especially those in charge of airline travel and plane construction, are begging for bailouts after blowing trillions of their profits and Trump tax-cut on parasitic stock buybacks that have been wiped out in the blink of an eye.
A modern country cannot survive a total collapse of its flight industry. They have no cash on hand and these scum are trying to extort the taxpayer into massive subsidies, which they will predictably try to use to continue malpractice like astonishing compensation for failed CEOs and speculative counter-productive trickery that led to them being in these dire straits to begin with.
Enough of the Reaganist nonsense. Pay their shareholders what their stock is currently worth and nationalize these companies.
In respects to our healthcare system, investment banks are planning for companies to gouge consumers on life-or-death medication, including a potential coronavirus cure. This monstrous plan must be met with an iron fist, including criminal charges if necessary.
On the foreign policy front, the Zionists setting foreign policy in the Trump administration have decided to suddenly increase “maximum pressure” sanctions on the ability of Iran to use banking services, despite being one of the hardest hit by the epidemic. These are sanctions most of the world is expected to abide by, and the country’s request for a $5 billion dollar International Monetary Fund loan could be rejected. Some estimates suggest that millions of Iranians will needlessly die at the hands of genocidal Jewish brutality if this policy holds. The right thing to do is to purge the Israeli agents in our state apparatus and lift the sanctions now.
Whatever happens in the future, this time around a lot of countries around the world are sick of America. Russia has responded to attacks on its economy with a counter-punch on American shale oil, another industry currently desperate for bailouts. The Chinese have the power to leverage their $1.5 trillion in holdings of US debt and dump it, thus crippling our bond market. Not to mention that they currently produce all kinds of vital supplies we will need.
Some will follow Trump and Fox News and get angry at the Chinese for this. They do share some degree of blame, though they made enormous sacrifices and demonstrated amazing national cohesion as Western media attacked their measures to successfully contain the outbreak for now. But it’s important not to lose sight of the real reason we’re in this mess: American capital, which is unprecedented in its greed and lack of patriotism.
The elites should see this as a powerful warning that they cannot get away with what they’ve been doing forever. Graft and inaction during this global crisis is not just morally wrong, it will provoke the angels of vengeance to bring them their just desserts.
If you’re wondering why the biggest bookseller monopoly has decided to ban all copies of Mein Kampf except for the Anti-Defamation League version, it’s because our overlords know we’re going to be furloughed at home watching. World War II is the founding myth of neoliberalism and globalism, and as its discrediting moment grows nearer, some might conclude that there was merit to Hitler’s struggle. A third nationalist position against capital and the left is an existential necessity. The current scramble by our governments proves this, but what if its too little, too late?
