“Pro-China “before the Coronavirus.
By Jamie McIntyre
I was “Pro-China “before the Coronavirus
Now I see them as a significant threat to the world.
Especially there partnering with some of the elite that would sell America out to simply get rid of any President or anyone that opposes the “New World Order“ agenda which is a China communist-led one.
The UN and WHO is full of socialist/communist nutters as is a lot of America strangely.
I’m sure many with commonsense, now share concerns over how a world may be under a totalitarian society.
Any Chinese citizens who support human freedoms will have to try and create a peaceful revolution from within, however that may not always end well.
If I was living in Hong Kong as a Chinese citizen, I would be preparing to leave, and Australia should offer visas to the cream of the crop.
Protesting in Hong Kong is no longer a safe option nor will it achieve ones wish. The communist regime will simply crush them and then plan a take over of Tawain.
Australia needs China economically, but we need to shift to “high-end manufacturing and diversify away from China”.
Easier said than done but regardless we must maintain a manufacturing base (or should I say recreate one) even if it means a tax-free economic zone and imported cheaper labour – otherwise, we can’t compete – the unions will go crazy but how else can it be achieved – and industries that are a national interest we must – plus we would still need to get cheap power from somewhere (we need to retake over Victoria from communist Dan Andrews China-led takeover as well – and support political change in NZ to get it back from China as well as we don’t want Chinese military bases popping up under Chinese funded NZ Prime Minister Modern – the media is so nice to her which is, of course, another sign of why one should be wary of her communist agendas)
China has brought us great benefits but the idea they would move towards democracy as they grew is no longer credible.
Their system is far more efficient and powerful than the broken western corrupted system so unless we change our ways we simply will not be able to compete.
Australia should also develop better relations with Russia and Putin, a leader wanting peace and opposing the New World Order who has found the West to sadly be unreliable partners as the deep state industrial-military complex needs Russia to be perceived as an enemy to scare Us taxpayers and us into spending more and more on weapons. Putin who is routinely attacked by the left-wing extreme mainstream media (which means he is actually one of the good guys – he is worth listening to his interviews to hear his actual views verse the media manipulated ones – RT news is somewhat way more impartial than CNN so who are the kings of propaganda-how the world has changed – bottom line the Cold War ended a long ago so maybe we should move on from Russia hating as it’s no longer communism and now especially a new Cold War is starting with China – we do not want to move China and Russia closer – Russia, if America falls, is the only counterbalance to complete world takeover by China and the deep state – I much rather live in Russia than China).
And India is where we should focus a lot more energy on
Politically and culturally we have a lot more in common with then China.
We should assist India’s growth as much as possible and grow trade significantly to lessen our over-reliance on China
China had its chance to do the right thing yet it’s chosen to head down a path of confrontation which isn’t smart but smacks of sheer arrogance – perhaps it copies too much from the West
And sadly US voters may end up handing the US into the hands of China as many would rather do that then get over their Presidents “hairstyle or personality.”
A big price to pay for personality politics.
As adult voters, we may need to mature or continue to be manipulated as fools the manipulators think we are.


australiannationalreview--2020-07-06--When money can magically materialise, the consequences can be extreme

When money can magically materialise , the consequences can be extreme .
This week three pieces of news show just how extreme .
If you are self-employed , own a business or an entrepreneur I strongly urge you to read this .
It ’ s a little long but worth every minute of your time I promise .
When money can magically materialise , the consequences can be extreme .
This week three pieces of news show just how extreme : The first is the tragic story of 20-year-old student Alexander Kearns .
Alexander committed suicide at a railroad crossing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 730,000 while learning to trade options on the RobinHood market trading app .
He saw a negative $ 730,000 cash balance – a glitch in RobinHood ’ s interface half-way through an options trade .
Thinking he ’ d actually lost that much , he wrote a letter to his parents : “ If you ’ re reading this , I am dead .
The puts I bought/sold should have cancelled out too , but I also have no clue what I was doing in hindsight… I only thought I was risking the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He actually was only risking the money he owned ( and he had actually made a profit in his account ) but before anyone could explain it to him he had taken his life .
They were just digital numbers on a screen , but it was enough to drive a young man to his death .
The second story is of the arrest of Wirecard CEO Markus Braun .
He had magically created $ 2 billion in cash on the Wirecard balance sheet that was meant to be in a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when auditors checked , it wasn ’ t there and apparently never existed .
Wirecard was one of Germany ’ s big Unicorn success stories .
It grew to be worth 24 billion Euros and replaced Commerzbank ( previously Germany ’ s second-largest bank ) in the Top 30 companies in the country .
Since then , Wirecard ’ s shares have crashed 99 % from 191 Euros to 12 Euros – a loss of $ 25 billion in market value .
German financial regulators called the situation a “ scandal ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case of Robinhood , it was magic money made up of digital numbers from a few keystrokes .
The difference ( other than the extra zeros in the amount ) , was while the first was bad design with a tragic outcome , with Wirecard it was deliberate fraud .
Which is why the CEO was first fired , then jailed .
As a result , today Wirecard has filed for insolvency .
The third story is headlined : “ A $ 10 Trillion Fed Balance Sheet is Coming ” .
Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has seen its balance sheet explode from $ 4 trillion in March to $ 7 trillion now and an expected $ 10 trillion within the year .
Is the Fed printing three trillion dollar bills ?
No .
The $ 3 Trillion is created in exactly the same way as the first two stories .
A few keystrokes and the digital numbers appear as a brand new 3 trillion .
The Fed then sells these numbers on to bondholders who then deposit these money-digits in banks .
The banks then add these digits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an asset in the form of cash , and as a liability as a debt payable back to investors .
They then re-loan that money out using “ fractional banking ” .
Up until March , they could legally loan ten times that amount .
Which means as long as the banks had a billion in cash , they could loan out ten billion .
This was because the Fed has set a reserve requirement of 10 % , where banks have to have at least 10 % of what they loan out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March ?
As the crisis hit , the Fed reduced the requirement from 10 % to ZERO .
That ’ s right .
Banks no longer have to have any cash against the money they loan out .
All these three stories are about exactly the same thing : Magic money .
In each case , no value was created .
No product was sold .
Money just showed up as digits on a screen .
In the case of Robinhood and Alexander Kearns , the number was less than a million .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the app that was accidentally misunderstood and led to a tragedy .
In the second case of Wirecard and Markus Braun , the number was two billion dollars .
It was a deliberate act to mislead investors and today Markus is in jail and his company is bankrupt .
Because companies aren ’ t allowed to just magic up money .
The third case is the US Federal Reserve and the number is three trillion and counting .
But as they control the money system , what they do is totally legal .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrested .
But the trouble is , when the magic money on a screen turns to real money in real life , it turns up as debt .
And that debt still needs to be paid back .
So what do we learn from this ?
The first lesson is that there is no such thing as making money .
Only the government can make money .
( Unless you ’ ve created your own cryptocurrency ) The second lesson is that governments are clearly making a lot of it .
We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ magic money .
Today the amount of actual currency is US $ 1.7 trillion .
If you add current accounts , that grows to $ 37 trillion ( 95 % digital ) .
That ’ s called ‘ Narrow Money ’ .
If you add ‘ Broad Money ’ – which is mutual funds , money market securities and saving deposits , you ’ re now up to $ 90 trillion ( 99.9999 % digital ) And if you add derivatives , cryptocurrencies and other investments , you ’ re up to $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trillion .
Of which real money is a tiny per cent of a per cent .
The third lesson is : by knowing this if you ’ re an entrepreneur or investor , the question isn ’ t how to make money .

So change your focus from making money to attracting money .

When money can magically materialise, the consequences can be extreme.
By Staff Reporter
This week three pieces of news show just how extreme.
If you are self-employed, own a business or an entrepreneur I strongly urge you to read this. It’s a little long but worth every minute of your time I promise.
When money can magically materialise, the consequences can be extreme. This week three pieces of news show just how extreme:
The first is the tragic story of 20-year-old student Alexander Kearns.
Alexander committed suicide at a railroad crossing after thinking he’d lost $730,000 while learning to trade options on the RobinHood market trading app.
He saw a negative $730,000 cash balance – a glitch in RobinHood’s interface half-way through an options trade. Thinking he’d actually lost that much, he wrote a letter to his parents: “If you’re reading this, I am dead. The puts I bought/sold should have cancelled out too, but I also have no clue what I was doing in hindsight… I only thought I was risking the money I actually owned. f**k Robinhood.”
He actually was only risking the money he owned (and he had actually made a profit in his account) but before anyone could explain it to him he had taken his life.
They were just digital numbers on a screen, but it was enough to drive a young man to his death.
The second story is of the arrest of Wirecard CEO Markus Braun.
He had magically created $2 billion in cash on the Wirecard balance sheet that was meant to be in a number of banks in the Philippines, but when auditors checked, it wasn’t there and apparently never existed.
Wirecard was one of Germany’s big Unicorn success stories. It grew to be worth 24 billion Euros and replaced Commerzbank (previously Germany’s second-largest bank) in the Top 30 companies in the country. Since then, Wirecard’s shares have crashed 99% from 191 Euros to 12 Euros – a loss of $25 billion in market value.
German financial regulators called the situation a “scandal” and a “disaster”. As in the case of Robinhood, it was magic money made up of digital numbers from a few keystrokes.
The difference (other than the extra zeros in the amount), was while the first was bad design with a tragic outcome, with Wirecard it was deliberate fraud. Which is why the CEO was first fired, then jailed. As a result, today Wirecard has filed for insolvency.
The third story is headlined: “A $10 Trillion Fed Balance Sheet is Coming”.
Bloomberg has reported that the US Federal Reserve has seen its balance sheet explode from $4 trillion in March to $7 trillion now and an expected $10 trillion within the year.
Is the Fed printing three trillion dollar bills? No. The $3 Trillion is created in exactly the same way as the first two stories. A few keystrokes and the digital numbers appear as a brand new 3 trillion.
The Fed then sells these numbers on to bondholders who then deposit these money-digits in banks. The banks then add these digits to their balance sheet. Both as an asset in the form of cash, and as a liability as a debt payable back to investors. They then re-loan that money out using “fractional banking”.
Up until March, they could legally loan ten times that amount. Which means as long as the banks had a billion in cash, they could loan out ten billion. This was because the Fed has set a reserve requirement of 10%, where banks have to have at least 10% of what they loan out sitting in cash.
What happened in March? As the crisis hit, the Fed reduced the requirement from 10% to ZERO. That’s right. Banks no longer have to have any cash against the money they loan out.
All these three stories are about exactly the same thing: Magic money.
In each case, no value was created. No product was sold. Money just showed up as digits on a screen.
In the case of Robinhood and Alexander Kearns, the number was less than a million. It was a temporary balance calculated by the app that was accidentally misunderstood and led to a tragedy.
In the second case of Wirecard and Markus Braun, the number was two billion dollars. It was a deliberate act to mislead investors and today Markus is in jail and his company is bankrupt. Because companies aren’t allowed to just magic up money.
The third case is the US Federal Reserve and the number is three trillion and counting. But as they control the money system, what they do is totally legal. No one died. No one got arrested.
But the trouble is, when the magic money on a screen turns to real money in real life, it turns up as debt. And that debt still needs to be paid back.
So what do we learn from this?
The first lesson is that there is no such thing as making money. Only the government can make money. (Unless you’ve created your own cryptocurrency)
The second lesson is that governments are clearly making a lot of it. We’re living in a massive mountain of magic money.
Today the amount of actual currency is US$1.7 trillion.
If you add current accounts, that grows to $37 trillion (95% digital). That’s called ‘Narrow Money’.
If you add ‘Broad Money’ – which is mutual funds, money market securities and saving deposits, you’re now up to $90 trillion (99.9999% digital)
And if you add derivatives, cryptocurrencies and other investments, you’re up to $1.2 quadrillion – Which is a thousand trillion. Of which real money is a tiny per cent of a per cent.
The third lesson is: by knowing this if you’re an entrepreneur or investor, the question isn’t how to make money.
Because you can’t and you don’t need to.
There’s already so much of it.
The question is: “How to attract it?”
And the answer is: By creating value.”
Money is always looking for a home. Everyone who has it is looking to spend it, or invest it, in return for value.
Value can be what someone wants, or needs.
It can be what keeps money safe or keeps it growing.
Almost always, value is what solves a problem better than others.
Right now, in this crisis, we’re seeing enormous destruction of value. But we are also seeing more problems than ever.
So change your focus from making money to attracting money.
Change your focus from chasing value to creating value.
And change your focus from selling products to solving problems.
As Albert Einstein said: “Do not try to become a person of success but try to become a person of value.”
As Grant Cardone says “Who’s got my Money”
This post is written in honour of Alexander Kearns, who never got to learn this lesson.
May he rest in peace?

$4 Billion and Growing: U.S. Payouts for Vaccine Injuries and Deaths Keep Climbing
By Children’s Health Defense
The Health Resources & Services Administration just released new dollar figures reflecting payouts from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The payouts for vaccine injuries just went past the whopping $4 billion mark. Using the government’s own conclusion that only 1% of all vaccine injuries are reported, the $4 billion is just the tip of the iceberg. Despite assurances from CDC and our Federal agencies that all vaccines are safe, the payouts say otherwise. Vaccine injuries can and do happen—to previously healthy children and adults. Consumers deserve to know the facts about the full range of vaccine risks.
By the Children’s Health Defense Team
In most public health communications about vaccination, officials gloss over vaccine risks, dismissing any possible “side effects” as mild. However, vaccination programs have always resulted in more serious vaccine injuries for some. In the 1970s and early 1980s, for example, the diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) vaccine and its whole-cell pertussis component had chalked up so much vaccine damage that a television documentary likened receiving a DPT shot to playing “vaccine roulette.”
After the DPT debacle began attracting widespread attention, vaccine manufacturers started pressuring Congress for protection from vaccine injury lawsuits. Congress obliged. In 1986, President Reagan signed into existence a radical piece of legislation—the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA)—which launched what the Act described as an “alternative remedy to judicial action for specified vaccine-related injuries.” A key component of the legislation involved creating the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), which was given responsibility for deciding (through the workings of a special “vaccine court”) whether specific injuries and individuals would be eligible for financial compensation.
While government-funded Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers vigorously represent and defend the interests of HHS and vaccine manufacturers, the consumer-unfriendly system forces the vaccine-injured to meet an exceptionally high burden of proof.
Over the vaccine court’s 30-year history, individuals and families have filed over 20,000 petitions for vaccine injury compensation. This month, even as 12% of filed petitions remained unadjudicated, the payouts crossed over the $4 billion threshold. This amount was awarded in response to barely a third (31% or 6,276) of the filed petitions. There is no telling how much more money the taxpayer-funded program might have shelled out if the court had not chosen to dismiss the remaining petitions (56%)—possibly doing so fraudulently in at least some cases.
Running the Gauntlet
Over the three decades, despite the stated intent to furnish an “accessible and efficient forum for individuals found to be injured by certain vaccines,” the NVICP has devolved into a protracted and litigious David-versus-Goliath battleground. The vaccine court, in actuality, is “not a court at all but…a consumer-funded government claims program that uses…employees of Health and Human Services (HHS), rather than judges to make decisions on compensation.” While government-funded Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers vigorously represent and defend the interests of HHS and vaccine manufacturers, the consumer-unfriendly system forces the vaccine-injured to meet an exceptionally high burden of proof. For dismissed claims, there is no assurance that the program will even cover attorneys’ fees and costs.
Children’s Health Defense recently called attention to a glaring example of the NVICP’s pro-industry and anti-vaccine-injured bias. In 2007 and 2008, DOJ attorneys exhibited “highly unethical and appallingly consequential official misconduct” during an Omnibus Autism Proceeding (OAP) orchestrated to determine the fate of 5,400 families who had filed claims for vaccine-induced autism. The potential value of the claims exceeded $100 billion—an amount that “would have bankrupted the [compensation] program many times over.” HHS’s Department of Justice lawyers, “under pressure” to deprive petitioners of their rightful relief, successfully achieved that aim through allegedly fraudulent means. In September 2018, Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Rolf Hazlehurst (parent of one of the vaccine-injured children involved in the OAP) requested that the DOJ Inspector General and Congress investigate this fraud and obstruction of justice by HHS and DOJ officials.
Individuals who file claims with VICP must meet specific “medical criteria” and are out of luck unless their illness, disability, injury or condition is covered in the NVICP’s Vaccine Injury Table and manifests within a specified time frame. As an illustration of the difficulties that NVICP petitioners may encounter, consider someone who experiences myocarditis (heart inflammation) following vaccination. A 2018 article in BMJ Case Reports recently observed that myocarditis is one of “the more serious vaccine-related sequela” and “has been reported following many different vaccines.”
Another recent article in a European medical journal describes post-vaccination reports of myopericarditis (inflammation of both the pericardium and the heart muscle) and other autoimmune disorders and offers two extremely plausible mechanisms “by which vaccines can cause autoimmune reactions.” In the Vaccine Injury Table, however, the only place where cardiac symptoms are mentioned is in connection with anaphylaxis—with the table’s notes indicating that “there are no specific pathological findings to confirm a diagnosis of anaphylaxis”—and most autoimmune illnesses are also conspicuously absent.
Tip of the Iceberg
By anyone’s accounting, the $4 billion paid out to date by the NVICP is an attention-getting amount of money. However, that amount pales in comparison to the billions of dollars’ worth of autism claims that the vaccine court unfairly dismissed. According to HHS, moreover, “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported,” and studies confirm that many health providers are unfamiliar with the system for reporting vaccine injuries. The shocking underreporting of vaccine injuries also fails to account for the fact that one in six individuals who experience an “adverse event following immunization” (AEFI) have a recurrence with subsequent vaccination, often rated as “more severe than the initial AEFI.” If even a small percentage of these unreported and recurrent vaccine injuries were brought forward for compensation, the entire NVICP house of cards—and the CDC’s deceptive claims of unassailable vaccine safety—would crumble.
A Gold Rush: Liability Protection Encourages More Vaccines
Instead, whether intended or not, the end result of the 1986 Act and the NVICP has been to create a “gold rush” environment that encourages manufacturers to develop even more vaccines, while conveniently exempting them from liability for the injuries and deaths that result from their powerful immune-system-altering products. With no incentive to make vaccines safe and a large and lucrative market guaranteed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s childhood vaccine schedule—as well as a growing effort to foist unnecessary and dangerous vaccines on adults—vaccine manufacturers appear to have it made. The public and vaccine safety advocates must continue to remind the government that the approximately 6,300 claims that have been compensated over the NVICP’s 30-year history represent the very tip of the iceberg.

China in counterfeit gold scandal as Wuhan company uses fake bars to gain $ 4.1bn in loans One of China ’ s largest gold jewellery manufacturers , Wuhan-based and NASDAQ-listed Kingold Jewelry , is being accused of depositing fake gold bars as collateral to obtain loans from 14 Chinese financial institutions .

One of China’s largest gold jewellery manufacturers, Wuhan-based and NASDAQ-listed Kingold Jewelry, is being accused of depositing fake gold bars as collateral to obtain loans from 14 Chinese financial institutions.
The 83 tonnes of gold were purportedly valued at 20.6 billion yuan (A$4.2 billion) but many of them have turned out to be gilded copper, according to reports from Beijing.
Two New York law firms have already begun investigations into securities fraud on behalf of investors in Kingold Jewelry Inc (NASDAQ: KGJI).
The story broke after a Beijing-based website investigated complaints and then posted the news under the headline: “The mystery of [US]$2 billion of loans backed by fake gold”.
Kingold is denying it lodged fake bars with Chinese lenders such as China Minsheng Trust, Hengfeng Bank, Dongguan Trust and Bank of Zhangjiakou. The trust companies involved are largely what are known as “shadow banks”.
Fake gold used as collateral after loan defaults
The alleged scam came to light earlier this year when Kingold defaulted on loans to Dongguan Trust. The gold bars pledged as collateral turned out to be gilded copper alloy. Minsheng Trust’s “gold” bars have also turned out to be copper alloy under the gilded surface.
Much of the money borrowed was reportedly used to invest in China’s housing bubble, some of which investments obviously went sour.
Kingold bought a company called Tri-Ring that owned blocks of land in Wuhan and Shenzhen with some of the borrowed money.
Military backing helped Kingold raise money
Kingold’s controlling shareholder is Jia Zhihong, described as “an intimidating ex-military man”.
Mr Jia, who has served in the military in Wuhan and Guangzhou, once managed gold mines for the People’s Liberation Army. Kingold was originally a gold factory in Wuhan affiliated with the People’s Bank of China.
Commentaries on this breaking story argue that Mr Jia’s connections with China’s powerful army meant he could do anything he wanted, no questions asked.
In fact, a state-owned insurer covered some of the loans — but with the beneficiary being Kingold, not the lenders.
Wuhan Kingold is the largest gold processor in Hubei province.
Questions are already being raised as to whether more of China’s “hard assets” of gold simply do not exist.
This is not the first scandal of its kind: in 2016 “gold” bars issued as collateral to 19 lenders in the Shaanxi province also turned out to be adulterated – in that case, the core of the bars consisted of tungsten.
Fears are that other Chinese gold producers and jewellery makers may also be involved in similar frauds.
It is reported that the Shanghai Gold Exchange has cancelled Kingold’s membership.
Shares in Kingold fell 23.77% overnight on the news to US$0.85.

australiannationalreview--2020-07-06--New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern’s very bad week

After months of positive press , a monumental blunder has led NZ PM Jacinda Ardern to come crashing down to earth this week .
Jacinda Ardern must be wishing she could turn back the clock to June 8 , when New Zealand was declared coronavirus free .

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern’s very bad week
After months of positive press, a monumental blunder has led NZ PM Jacinda Ardern to come crashing down to earth this week.
By Benedict Brook
Jacinda Ardern must be wishing she could turn back the clock to June 8, when New Zealand was declared coronavirus free.
The next day she happily shook as many hands as were thrust her way, revelling in the ending of almost all social distancing restrictions.
The prime minister was a hero at home and lauded abroad.
A poll taken in early June showed two-thirds of New Zealanders trusted her leadership through the pandemic. US magazine The Atlantic gushed she was “the most effective leader on the planet”.
Yet, in the last week and a bit, it has all gone south for Ardern and her Labour Party led government.
Her administration has been lambasted as “bungling idiots”, her coalition government of “tearing itself apart” and Ardern herself – often seen as untouchable – was accused of having told a “complete lie” about her handling of the pandemic.
It’s a worrying wobble she’ll be hoping doesn’t turn into an all-out slide at the next general election which will be held in less than three months.
Despite her popularity, Ardern has a surprisingly tenuous grip on power. Her government, which is in coalition with the conservative New Zealand First party, has exactly the same numbers of MPs as the opposition National party. Only a confidence and supply agreement with the Greens delivered her the top job in 2017. Just a small swing away from Labour could see her turfed out.
BORDER BLUNDER HARMING PM
There are a number of issues Ardern is having to contend with. But at the heart of her woes is COVID-19 and a bizarre blunder which has seen the county go from coronavirus free to potentially having, once again, local transmission of the virus.
It started with two British visitors who on June 7, like all arrivals into the country, were placed into hotel quarantine for 14 days. But they didn’t stay there anywhere near that long
During their time inside the Novotel hotel in Auckland, the health ministry decreed everyone in quarantine should only be allowed out after two negative COVID-19 tests.
Six days later the two women were allowed to leave quarantine on compassionate grounds and drive 650kms to Wellington to visit a dying relative. They got lost and on the way met up with a couple of friends who gave them directions.
In Wellington both tested positive for coronavirus. It has since emerged neither was tested in the hotel – not even once. It was the nation’s first COVID cases for three weeks.
‘COULDN’T RUN A BATH, LET ALONE A BORDER’
Ms Arden said it was an “unacceptable failure” and that it “cannot be repeated”. Dying relatives be damned – there would be no more early marks.
But there was a problem – there had already been plenty of early releases from quarantine. It soon came to light that the week after the two women tested positive more than 50 other visitors had also been allowed out on compassionate grounds. Just four had been tested for coronavirus.
The ministry wasn’t even following its own testing rules.
The bad news got even worse. Of the 2159 people who left quarantine between June 9-16 – most who had completed their 14-day stint – only 1010 were tested for coronavirus. Of the rest, around 800 essentially vanished, failing to get into contact with the authorities to arrange a test.
National leader Todd Muller – who covets Ardern’s PM gig – said it was possible coronavirus was now back out in the community. The debacle was a “national disgrace”.
David Seymour, the leader of minor party ACT was more direct. He said the Government was incompetent.
“These bungling idiots couldn’t run a bath let alone a border,” he said. “We’re supposed to have the world’s smartest borders. We now have the world’s dumbest borders.”
PLAN TO ‘OUT JESUS’ ARDERN
So far, Ardern has managed to avoid being in the centre of the maelstrom. Much of the talk has been about whether health minister David Clark should resign.
The prime minister’s popularity, boosted by her handling of everything from the Christchurch massacre to batting away an earthquake on live TV, as well as her cosy bedtime chats on Facebook, have given her a cushion of political capital to lean on during this week’s events.
In an opinion piece for analysis website The Democracy Project commentator Graham Adams said the National Party was wary of going after Ardern.
“Such is Ardern’s popularity and mana (honour and authority) that most opponents consider it too risky to attack her directly by impugning her essential goodness — not least because there is a widespread belief that, unlike many elected representatives, she is always well-intentioned, humble and honest.”
So instead, Muller has been trying to “out Jesus” Ardern, he said, by pushing his own image of innate goodness to show the PM doesn’t have a monopoly on being a trustworthy politician.
If the opposition can prove Ardern isn’t the only pollie with empathy then perhaps they can persuade voters she is “as flawed, calculating and prone to lying as any other politician,” wrote Mr Adams.
Being trustworthy may be a huge boon for Ardern, but it may also be a poisoned chalice if she’s seen to not be meeting the public’s massive expectations.
Indeed, Mr Adams said, Ardern may have been inadvertently doing the groundwork for this herself. For instance, she has avoided saying sorry for the border blunders, expressing mostly “remorse” and suggesting others were responsible.
‘WE’VE BEEN LIED TO’
The gloves may be slowly coming off as election day nears. Senior National MP Judith Collins called into question Ardern’s character last Friday on morning program The AM Show.
“We have been lied to actually. We have been lied to about the quarantine, about the standard of care.”
Asked who had lied, Ms Collins said, “the prime minister and the health ministry”. If the quarantine debacle did lead to delays in opening the border, said Ms Collins, the Kiwi economy could suffer.


australiannationalreview--2020-07-06--‘Positive then negative, four hours apart’: Accuracy of COVID-19 testing in question

“ Positive and negative , four hours apart from each other , ” said Smith .
With thousands of people dying every day , there simply wasn ’ t any time for the extensive review the agency normally conducts to validate safety and accuracy before approval .
We don ’ t know what kind of test Piedmont used for Smith ’ s positive test , but CVS uses the Abbott machine that returns results in minutes .
All of these diagnostic tests are molecular , which means they detect a COVID infection by looking for the unique genetic signature of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know which of Shaun ’ s results was wrong , because all lab tests are susceptible to some degree of both false positive and false negative results The Piedmont lab report warns “ negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection.
” While the Abbott ’ s emergency authorization requires the company to “ track adverse events , including any false results , ” and to report them back to the FDA .
The Reveal , 11Alive ’ s investigative team , reached out to Abbott to learn more about the process .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collect accuracy data in the field.
” “ We saw in other countries , Spain in particular , they had to pull some tests back because they were giving bad results , ” said infectious disease expert Dylan George .
He says the biggest concern for false positives is PPE resources and the usage of equipment like ventilators could be used on someone who doesn ’ t actually need it .
“ For me the concern of false negatives is perhaps even more , because then you would have an individual who actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and having the assurance from a test , and they ’ re interacting with individuals , as if they are not infected , ” explained George .
“ You have allowed people to think that they were negative , and sending them out into the streets and said , ‘ hey , you ’ re OK , ’ and they ’ re not really OK. And they ’ re going out into the community and living their regular life , and spreading the virus , ” said Smith .
Most tests were internally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but the FDA has only just begun to review how the efficacy of tests already deployed to measure the pandemic .
With at least 8 million diagnostic tests conducted in the United States thus far , even a 99 percent accuracy rate would still mean 80,000 tests returned false results .
Because the data is still being collected in real time on real people , we have no way to tell how many people may have received false results , or who they are .
“ Having that assurance and not thinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to more spread in the community , so those false negatives are very concerning in terms of spread throughout the community , ” said George .
As for Smith , Piedmont told him he has to wait 21 days to be retested before they ’ ll do his surgery .
He has since received results from yet another test from an urgent care on May 3 .
The test came back negative .

“Positive and negative, four hours apart from each other,” said Smith.
THE SCIENCE
With thousands of people dying every day, there simply wasn’t any time for the extensive review the agency normally conducts to validate safety and accuracy before approval.
We don’t know what kind of test Piedmont used for Smith’s positive test, but CVS uses the Abbott machine that returns results in minutes.
All of these diagnostic tests are molecular, which means they detect a COVID infection by looking for the unique genetic signature of the virus.
We don’t know which of Shaun’s results was wrong, because all lab tests are susceptible to some degree of both false positive and false negative results
The Piedmont lab report warns “negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection.” While the Abbott’s emergency authorization requires the company to “track adverse events, including any false results,” and to report them back to the FDA.
The Reveal, 11Alive’s investigative team, reached out to Abbott to learn more about the process. The company told us “we continue to collect accuracy data in the field.”
“We saw in other countries, Spain in particular, they had to pull some tests back because they were giving bad results,” said infectious disease expert Dylan George.
George helped run the White House response to the Ebola outbreak in 2014-2015.
THE IMPACT OF FALSE RESULTS
He says the biggest concern for false positives is PPE resources and the usage of equipment like ventilators could be used on someone who doesn’t actually need it.
“For me the concern of false negatives is perhaps even more, because then you would have an individual who actually is infected, out in the community and having the assurance from a test, and they’re interacting with individuals, as if they are not infected,” explained George.
“You have allowed people to think that they were negative, and sending them out into the streets and said, ‘hey, you’re OK,’ and they’re not really OK. And they’re going out into the community and living their regular life, and spreading the virus,” said Smith.
Most tests were internally validated by the labs that produced them, but the FDA has only just begun to review how the efficacy of tests already deployed to measure the pandemic.

australiannationalreview--2020-07-07--Conspiracy Theories. Should we believe the ones pushed by mainstream media as truth without question

Conspiracy Theories .
Should we believe the ones pushed by mainstream media as truth without question ?
Mainstream media love to claim anything other then their official narrative is a “ conspiracy theory “ yet is the narrative they push actually also a conspiracy theory ?
One such potential conspiracy theory pushed by mainstream media is “ pizzagate “ and there weak claim it has been debunked .
Just like “ vaccines cause autism “ is apparently debunked , despite it never having been , other than by the same organisations that direct their narrative .
“ Mainstream media love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or “ accepted science “ all clearly psychological propaganda words designed to mislead a too trusting public .
Which means for the mainstream media , ” we need to cover up this corruption being exposed by the powerful elite we work for so let ’ s pretend to be journalists and investigate and say it ’ s now “ debunked “ Or they often use worlds “ Accepted science “ Or anything that highlights an opposing narrative to their conspiracy theory they usually push without evidence they simply label as “ a conspiracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any evidence .
Journalism used to be about asking questions when it wasn ’ t completely owned by the corrupted elite .
But now it ’ s about targeting those that dare ask questions that journalists should be asking , but never do ( because their role is now to provide cover and protection to the corruption because of the trusting public ever were to find out they have been lied to continually then there would be no faith left in the Government or media ) Ie with pizzagate , Instead of investigating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ debunked “ Yet there is ample evidence of large scale paedophile ’ networks operating in the highest echelons of power and growing booming industry that could only have reached its size with the assistance of the powerful .
They also try to make conspiracy theorists look bad by making exaggerations .
I ’ m sure there are some that believe wild and crazy theories but we main also accept many things we thought we ’ re wild and created over time turn out to be true .
Most have been lied to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life and believe anything the media tell them .
The only defence the mainstream media has is “ to call something a conspiracy theory , yet they are the ones that continually push their own conspiracy theories i.e .
such as it has been debunked as an example “ As I said It ’ s meant to be journalists asking the questions that truth seekers are asking .
Instead , they are no longer journalists .

Conspiracy Theories. Should we believe the ones pushed by mainstream media as truth without question?
By Jamie McIntyre
Mainstream media love to claim anything other then their official narrative is a “ conspiracy theory “ yet is the narrative they push actually also a conspiracy theory?
One such potential conspiracy theory pushed by mainstream media is “pizzagate“ and there weak claim it has been debunked.
Just like “vaccines cause autism“ is apparently debunked, despite it never having been, other than by the same organisations that direct their narrative.
“Mainstream media love to use words like “debunked “ or “ accepted science “ all clearly psychological propaganda words designed to mislead a too trusting public.
Which means for the mainstream media,”we need to cover up this corruption being exposed by the powerful elite we work for so let’s pretend to be journalists and investigate and say it’s now “debunked “Or they often use worlds“Accepted science “Or anything that highlights an opposing narrative to their conspiracy theory they usually push without evidence they simply label as “a conspiracy theory“ to discredit something without providing any evidence.
Journalism used to be about asking questions when it wasn’t completely owned by the corrupted elite. But now it’s about targeting those that dare ask questions that journalists should be asking, but never do (because their role is now to provide cover and protection to the corruption because of the trusting public ever were to find out they have been lied to continually then there would be no faith left in the Government or media)
Ie with pizzagate, Instead of investigating it. They simply said it was “debunked “Yet there is ample evidence of large scale paedophile’ networks operating in the highest echelons of power and growing booming industry that could only have reached its size with the assistance of the powerful. They also try to make conspiracy theorists look bad by making exaggerations. I’m sure there are some that believe wild and crazy theories but we main also accept many things we thought we’re wild and created over time turn out to be true.
Most have been lied to be the media for most of their life and believe anything the media tell them. The only defence the mainstream media has is “to call something a conspiracy theory, yet they are the ones that continually push their own conspiracy theories i.e. such as it has been debunked as an example “As I said It’s meant to be journalists asking the questions that truth seekers are asking.
Instead, they are no longer journalists. They only question those who are asking the tough questions to try and cover for the corruption. The debunking hardly counts if it comes from fake news websites such as mainstream media, the very same organizations owned or influenced and protecting those behind the paedophile networks. The size of the industry of child sex trafficking is so large it’s not possible to have grown so large without powerful networks in power to protect those involved. It’s now larger then illicit drugs trade and soon larger the illegal weapon sales. As the mainstream media has been corrupted for some time it’s time people become their own journalists and start investigating theories themselves. It’s misinformed in society that corruption relies upon to keep their lies covered up.
It’s time people stop being lazy and start investigating. America had plenty of division and hate before Trump and “black lives matter “ come along which is arguable yet another scam by George Soros and co to cause division and hate. This is a standard ploy he is renowned for using often on overseas Presidents to make it appear they are in chaos to try and replace the President to install a puppet.
The same thing with the Coronavirus scam, is about, as was the Global warming Scam
The same people.
Same agenda, same media pushing it.
The same misinformed people falling for it and as a result, supporting the very opposite to what they really believe in.

Waleed Aly applauds African gang who assaulted young girl at train station for ‘courageously standing up to white privilege’
Sean Carson
Project panellist Waleed Aly has applauded the assault of a white teenage girl at Southern Cross Train Station in Melbourne earlier in the week, lauding the attack as a ‘stunning and brave assault on white privilege.’
In a 15-minute lecture on The Project last night that some critics have claimed was ‘Waleed at his patronising, race-baiting best,’ Aly had to hold back tears several times as he narrated the gang’s ‘struggle against systemic oppression.’
“I’ve been doing my best all these past, painstaking few weeks to trigger an unnecessary race war and it’s times like this where you look at yourself in the mirror and think it was all worth it. All that rhetoric, all that condescension, victimhood and divisive neurolinguistics bore fruit. “The beauty of seeing an unarmed white teenaged girl minding her own business on a train seat being bullied and assaulted by a gang of imported beautiful women of colour that now call Australia home, just overwhelms me.” “It shows we can all fight back against the scourge of white privilege and that multiculturalism does indeed make us stronger and more united.”
Aly also further supported indigenous comedian Ernie Dingo, who was involved in an alleged racial confrontation in WA at the weekend.
“Ernie resorting instantly to violence over a few words, and assaulting someone with an alleged learning disability took tremendous courage. His legacy isn’t just blessing us with his condescending ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremonies we see at every major sporting and cultural event to re-enforce white guilt on the collective consciousness – it’s using violence to fight racism while decrying others using violence.”
Fellow Project panellist Lisa Wilkinson had nothing but praise for her co-star, stating at the end of the monologue “that will win you another Logie for sure.”
It’s your XYZ.
