The Troll in the Bidenbunker

Last year , Joe Biden had been renting a $ 6 million miniature version of the White House with crystal chandeliers , a home theater , and parking for 20 cars in McLean , Virginia .
The former home of Secretary of State Alexander Haig , the estate was perfect for schmoozing Beltway insiders , courting donors , and letting an elderly politician play house with his own White House .
But coronavirus cases have been rising steadily in Northern Virginia .
And the little Biden White House with its gourmet kitchens , its 7 fireplaces , and its huge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and costing the Bidens a whole lot of money , while potential donors fled and the pandemic closed in .
With Virginia ’ s restaurants shutting down and the cocktail party circuit fading , Biden headed back to wait out the coronavirus in his Bidenbunker in Delaware .
There are worse places to wait out the end of the world than Delaware , but few worse places to run for the White House .
And Biden ’ s efforts to retrofit his Wilmington mansion into a Bidenbunker from which the presumptive Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the nation were disastrous .
Construction got underway on the Bidenbunker by turning the mansion ’ s rec room into a TV studio .
Despite sitting on a pile of money , the campaign managed to botch the Bidenbunker every step of the way .
The few people who watched Biden ’ s “ shadow ” briefings were confronted with Joe Biden standing in front of a blue campaign podium in what looked like a thrift store with books , photos , and posters randomly arranged on every shelf .
A nightstand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for space .
What might have been a nice touch in a homey campaign ad is not remotely reassuring in a crisis .
If a desk is a metaphor for the mind , Biden ’ s background was a perfect metaphor for a badly aged politician with a scrambled mind full of disarranged stuff who can ’ t find anything or finish a sentence .

Even though the Bidenbunker ’ s internet seems to have been upgraded , the sound has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virtual town hall , the Biden campaign has been making its boss sound even more confused and incoherent than he naturally is with audio glitches , equipment breakdowns , and bad cues .
It ’ s not just that Joe Biden is confused .
His campaign seems to be even more confused .
Biden ’ s first shadow briefing was supposed to be at 11.30 AM .
At least that ’ s what he told donors and supporters .
Then it actually arrived at 10.30 AM .
Biden didn ’ t realize he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his teleprompter broke .
Far more Republicans ended up watching clips of what looked like Biden having a breakdown in the Bidenbunker than anyone tuned in for the original shadow briefing .

But coronavirus cases have been rising steadily in Northern Virginia. And the little Biden White House with its gourmet kitchens, its 7 fireplaces, and its huge seashell driveway would go on standing empty, and costing the Bidens a whole lot of money, while potential donors fled and the pandemic closed in.
With Virginia’s restaurants shutting down and the cocktail party circuit fading, Biden headed back to wait out the coronavirus in his Bidenbunker in Delaware.
There are worse places to wait out the end of the world than Delaware, but few worse places to run for the White House. And Biden’s efforts to retrofit his Wilmington mansion into a Bidenbunker from which the presumptive Democrat nominee can run his campaign and speak to the nation were disastrous.
Construction got underway on the Bidenbunker by turning the mansion’s rec room into a TV studio. Despite sitting on a pile of money, the campaign managed to botch the Bidenbunker every step of the way. The few people who watched Biden’s “shadow” briefings were confronted with Joe Biden standing in front of a blue campaign podium in what looked like a thrift store with books, photos, and posters randomly arranged on every shelf. A nightstand contained a lamp and three photos jockeyed for space.
What might have been a nice touch in a homey campaign ad is not remotely reassuring in a crisis.
If a desk is a metaphor for the mind, Biden’s background was a perfect metaphor for a badly aged politician with a scrambled mind full of disarranged stuff who can’t find anything or finish a sentence.
And then there’s the technical bugbears bedeviling the Bidenbunker.
Even though the Bidenbunker’s internet seems to have been upgraded, the sound has been a mess. Since its first virtual town hall, the Biden campaign has been making its boss sound even more confused and incoherent than he naturally is with audio glitches, equipment breakdowns, and bad cues.
It’s not just that Joe Biden is confused. His campaign seems to be even more confused.

America is not a parliamentary democracy. We don’t have shadow governments. The Constitution set forth a strong chief executive to handle emergencies. Once elected, he’s in there for the duration. We can have elections during a crisis, but Thomas Dewey didn’t deliver shadow briefings on winning WW2.
Biden has no role in making policy during the crisis because he hasn’t been elected to anything since 2012. By evacuating to Delaware, he moved far out of the Beltway and the actual government. He isn’t offering a briefing because he doesn’t know anything and can’t brief anyone on what he doesn’t know.
Instead he’s trolling actual elected officials from the Bidenbunker of his rec room to score political points. And, in a true embodiment of his entire career, he’s managed to somehow fail at doing that.
Maybe it’s because President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis is at 60% in a recent Gallup poll. Meanwhile a majority of the country has polled as disapproving of the media’s handling of the crisis.
With a lot of the country afraid, out of work, coping with shortages, and distancing from loved ones, there’s less patience for the media’s brand of toxic garbage. Most of the country wants to see politicians pull together to resolve the problem. And that’s very bad timing for the Bidenbunker routine to go live.
Nobody’s in the mood to see Biden moping around his cluttered rec room while criticizing Trump.
“I want to be in daily or at least significant contact with the American people and communicate what I would be doing, what I think we should be doing, and how we should be doing it,” Biden claimed.
Rambling sentences like this pop out of Biden’s mouth like spent kernels. And just as pointlessly.
Do the American people regularly need to hear what Biden would be doing if he weren’t in his bunker in Delaware, and if he were an elected official, and if any of the words leaving his mouth actually mattered.
Nothing Biden says actually matters. He isn’t in charge of anything and he isn’t being briefed by anyone.
When Biden contradicts President Trump or Governor DeSantis, he’s undermining actual elected officials whose decisions are informed by expert briefings from government officials, in the middle of a crisis.

Giving President Trump the space to deal with the coronavirus, and succeed or fail on his own terms, instead of trying to impotently second guess him, would be the smarter move. It’s also what the country wants. What the country does not want are panicked broadcasts from the Bidenbunker thrift store.
If Joe Biden wants to have an impact on the coronavirus crisis, he has to leave the Bidenbunker.
The Biden clan is wealthy. And much of that money come through government access and foreign contacts. This would be a nice time to disgorge some of both and secure mask and ventilator supplies. The primaries are winding down leaving behind a huge activist base that could volunteer to help the elderly (not counting its 77-year-old presumptive nominee) or clean hospitals.
But these shadow briefings in which Biden addresses the nation from his Delaware Bidenbunker while offering no actual help with anything are inept trolling by a selfish politician and his incompetent campaign which can’t control his gaffes or even figure out basic audio and video equipment.
There’s nothing like a politician who can’t manage to successfully take part in a webcast, something much of the country that’s still at work is doing, claiming that he can save America from a pandemic.
The troll in the Bidenbunker has become a public health hazard.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-30--How Long Will the American Covid-19 Lockdown Last? Here’s What the Patterns Suggest

( March 29 , 2020 ) From the moment lockdowns and serious social distancing efforts began in the United States , the question on everyone ’ s mind was , “ How long will these lockdowns last ?
” And it ’ s not simple impatience .
The cost of Covid-19 continues to come as a brutal assault to families across the country .
First , there was the money spent preparing for the likelihood of quarantine , and this was followed , for many , by a loss of income .
A shocking 3.3 million people had filed for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than a week ago and laughed off by many as fear-mongering .
The economic ramifications of this virus are not just short-term – they ’ re long-term too .
It ’ s psychological , too .
Right now , we ’ re in this strange period of purgatory in which the situation isn ’ t that bad for a lot of people – outside of a few hotspots , we aren ’ t seeing the virus in our own backyards .
But the inability to plan for something next summer , next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tough on people who are accustomed to being able to map out things like vacations , summer activities for the kids , heck , even a night at the movies with our partners .
There ’ s a sense of overall discomfort which can only be described as grief as we miss out on goals , milestones , and the day to day lives we enjoyed just a couple of short weeks ago .
We want this to end .
Now .
And if we can ’ t have that , we want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limbo known as lockdown be over ?
Unfortunately , we ’ re just getting started .
A few weeks ago , I wrote about when the lockdowns and shelter in place orders would be handed down in the United States , based on the patterns we were seeing in China and in Italy .
It turned out to be extremely accurate , so we can use the same general idea of using patterns to attempt to predict what happens next .
Now , keep in mind , there are all sorts of variables @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this .
These aren ’ t “ predictions ” in a crystal ball kind of way .
This is just an analysis of what has already happened and how a pattern is developing .
So , my disclaimer is , given the vast array of variables , some of which we ’ ve probably never even considered , these dates may be entirely wrong .
But right now , patterns are all we have to give us an idea of what to expect .
Some of the variables that could come into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the population density of the infection hotspots , a surge of civil unrest , a concurrent disaster , and/or the medical systems in the different countries involved .
China is a lot more authoritarian than the US and Italy , and they incorporated shocking measures like literally welding people into their apartments .
While things started off rather gently in Italy and the United States , don ’ t expect it to stay that way .
Italy started off less strictly but has increasingly become tougher on citizens as the cases explode @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures being instituted across the United States as governors take steps to protect their less-infected states from those fleeing hotspots .
Expect this to continue up to and including martial law if people don ’ t cooperate with social distancing measures .
I ’ m not saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing – I ’ m just pointing out that this is reality .
If you don ’ t believe it , read this article about how the cops in Rhode Island are teaming up with the National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for New Yorkers who have fled the city .
Right here in the United States of America , boys and girls .
Don ’ t delude yourself into thinking we ’ re protected by the Constitution right now .
While that should always be the case , know that right now , we ’ re not .
For the purposes of this article , here are some definitions that I ’ m using .
• Lockdown : Periods of time with the restriction of movement , closure of businesses , quarantines , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with varying degrees of enforcement , • Peak : The plateau in which the number of cases was high somewhat uniformly .
Also known as “ flattening the curve.
” • Spike : A brief period during which the number of cases skyrocketed , then returned to the peak .
• Decline : The period of time when the number of new cases began to drop steadily from the peak period .
The charts below are all from Worldometer and show the new cases diagnosed in each country .
I ’ m not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a doctor .
These are my definitions that I ’ ll be using throughout the article and I ’ m sharing them for the purpose of clarity so that we ’ re all reading from the same songbook .
Here ’ s how it went down in China .
Keep in mind that I never trusted and still do not trust the numbers coming from China .
I ’ m not basing any of this on their numbers , but on their increases and decreases .
If it helps any , I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I ’ m equal opportunity in my distrust .
All we ’ re looking at here are patterns .
The lockdown of China began on Jan. 22 .
Within a few days , the lockdown had spread to incorporate millions and millions of people and were quite widespread to some degree or another .
This is Worldometer ’ s chart for China .
The chart begins on Jan. 22 , which is not accurate – that was the day that they locked down Wuhan so we know there were a number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the data we have to work with .
Again , we ’ re not focused on the numbers , but on the pattern .
China ’ s cases hit the plateau that we ’ re calling a “ peak ” approximately Jan. 30th .
That ’ s when they hit a plateau that was continued after the peak until cases began to drop off on Feb. 19th .
During this time , the cases were being diagnosed hard and fast at a high rate that varied from day to day but stayed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the peak for China began 8 days after widespread lockdown and lasted for 20 days .
You can see a spike on Feb. 13th and 14th .
This can be explained away – at least in part .
China began using a different diagnostic method on the 13th that didn ’ t require the antigen test .
It was faster and easier to diagnose patients at that time .
There were 15 thousand new cases that day and this is notable .
This spike occurred 22 days after the lockdown began .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days , then returned to their previous methods of diagnosis .
At that time , numbers returned generally to the plateau that we ’ re calling the peak .
Cases began to decline 21 days after the peak began , on Feb. 19th .
65 days after the lockdown began , Wuhan relaxed to the lockdown : people can leave their homes but are not allowed to leave the city .
If all goes well , China plans to reopen Wuhan on April 8th which is 77 days after they first locked down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot about our own future when we see how it goes in Wuhan a couple of weeks from now .
Italy began its regional lockdown on Feb. 21st and it quickly expanded to a widespread national lockdown by March 9th .
( source for dates ) As I write this , Italy is at day 20 of its lockdown In the chart below , it appears that Italy began its peak around March 18th , which is 9 days after widespread lockdowns began .
If the same pattern as China holds true , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peak until April 20th .
Italy could begin to relax its lockdown as of May 13th .
If China does indeed completely lift its lockdown on Day 77 and this works well , then the end of Italy ’ s lockdown could be June 6th .
Again , there are many variables .
For example , on March 28th in Italy ( yesterday at the time of writing ) , tensions arose in Italy as the health emergency became a social emergency .
People broke the shelter in place orders , threatening to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of food .
Cries for revolution arose throughout social media and many people have said they will not remain at home , and that they ’ re out of food and basic necessities .
This could , unfortunately , result in a much longer period of infection as people gather in crowds to protest .
It could even result in a spike for Italy around March 31-April 1 that would be similar to China ’ s spike , albeit for a different reason .
What about the US ?
First things first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over in two weeks .
If the country reopened again next week or the week after while cases are still climbing , everything we ’ ve done from this point on will have been in vain .
We ’ re in this social distancing business for quite a while if we want it to work .
Our first major lockdowns began on March 19th .
Thirty-three states have closed down non-essential businesses or mandated some type of lockdown since that time .
If we base our timing on the pattern of China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 28th .
We should begin to see the curve flattening out on charts within the next few days .
This peak would last through about April 30th and we could see our worst days on April 10th and 11th , depending on whether we have some kind of unusual variables like both China and Italy have had .
On May 23rd , we could see the lockdowns become more relaxed , and if they go 77 days like Wuhan , then the lockdowns would end on June 6th .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t know what the aftermath of the lockdown looks like in China .
It could end up that they ’ ll put another lockdown in place if infections begin to reoccur at a high rate .
Personally , I don ’ t plan to rush out to a crowded mall the moment lockdowns are lifted .
I want to wait and see what happens after a week or so first .
To provide an example , several hundred movie theaters in China outside the epicenter of the outbreak reopened on March 23rd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on March 27th without further explanation .
The reopening of the United States could also be a start-and-stop process as scientists learn more about Covid-19 .
This isn ’ t a short term event .
It ’ s going to get worse .
I ’ m not the only person who thinks these measures could last for quite some time .
According to Michael Snyder , it will be ongoing and we too could expect to see some civil unrest before this is over .
As in China , there are parts of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than places like New York City and New Orleans .
But every single state has diagnosed Covid within its boundaries and none of the country is unscathed by the measures being undertaken to combat the spread .
And despite the steps that Americans have taken to slow this down , we have the unfortunate distinction of surpassing China as the epicenter of the pandemic .
On Thursday , March 26th , 17,224 new cases were diagnosed here and on Friday , there were 19,452 new cases .
Unfortunately , the number of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not seen the worst of this situation yet .
People should be prepared for anything from more stringent lockdowns , supply chain interruptions , and potentially even civil unrest in some areas as the situation drags on .
I know these dates and numbers are probably not what you want to hear .
It ’ s only been ten days and for many , it ’ s practically unimaginable to live like this for 2 more months , stretching into June .
The effect on the economy alone is mindblowing , not to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and even fear that many people are experiencing .
But if you ’ re anything like me , you ’ d rather go into this unknown territory facing reality instead of waiting and wondering .

(March 29, 2020) From the moment lockdowns and serious social distancing efforts began in the United States, the question on everyone’s mind was, “How long will these lockdowns last?”
And it’s not simple impatience. The cost of Covid-19 continues to come as a brutal assault to families across the country. First, there was the money spent preparing for the likelihood of quarantine, and this was followed, for many, by a loss of income. A shocking 3.3 million people had filed for unemployment by last Thursday, something projected less than a week ago and laughed off by many as fear-mongering. The economic ramifications of this virus are not just short-term – they’re long-term too.
It’s psychological, too. Right now, we’re in this strange period of purgatory in which the situation isn’t that bad for a lot of people – outside of a few hotspots, we aren’t seeing the virus in our own backyards. But the inability to plan for something next summer, next month – even next week – is tough on people who are accustomed to being able to map out things like vacations, summer activities for the kids, heck, even a night at the movies with our partners. There’s a sense of overall discomfort which can only be described as grief as we miss out on goals, milestones, and the day to day lives we enjoyed just a couple of short weeks ago.
We want this to end. Now.
And if we can’t have that, we want to know when. When will this limbo known as lockdown be over?
Unfortunately, we’re just getting started.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about when the lockdowns and shelter in place orders would be handed down in the United States, based on the patterns we were seeing in China and in Italy. It turned out to be extremely accurate, so we can use the same general idea of using patterns to attempt to predict what happens next.
Now, keep in mind, there are all sorts of variables. I hate making “predictions because of this. These aren’t “predictions” in a crystal ball kind of way. This is just an analysis of what has already happened and how a pattern is developing. So, my disclaimer is, given the vast array of variables, some of which we’ve probably never even considered, these dates may be entirely wrong. But right now, patterns are all we have to give us an idea of what to expect.
Some of the variables that could come into play are the severity of the lockdown, the population density of the infection hotspots, a surge of civil unrest, a concurrent disaster, and/or the medical systems in the different countries involved. China is a lot more authoritarian than the US and Italy, and they incorporated shocking measures like literally welding people into their apartments.
While things started off rather gently in Italy and the United States, don’t expect it to stay that way.
Italy started off less strictly but has increasingly become tougher on citizens as the cases explode, and we’re seeing harsher measures being instituted across the United States as governors take steps to protect their less-infected states from those fleeing hotspots.
Expect this to continue up to and including martial law if people don’t cooperate with social distancing measures. I’m not saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing – I’m just pointing out that this is reality. If you don’t believe it, read this article about how the cops in Rhode Island are teaming up with the National Guard to go door to door looking for New Yorkers who have fled the city. Right here in the United States of America, boys and girls.
Don’t delude yourself into thinking we’re protected by the Constitution right now. While that should always be the case, know that right now, we’re not.
Some definitions
For the purposes of this article, here are some definitions that I’m using.

: A brief period during which the number of cases skyrocketed, then returned to the peak. Decline: The period of time when the number of new cases began to drop steadily from the peak period.
The charts below are all from Worldometer and show the new cases diagnosed in each country.
I’m not a scientist, a statistician, or a doctor. These are my definitions that I’ll be using throughout the article and I’m sharing them for the purpose of clarity so that we’re all reading from the same songbook.
Here’s how it went down in China.
Keep in mind that I never trusted and still do not trust the numbers coming from China. I’m not basing any of this on their numbers, but on their increases and decreases. If it helps any, I don’t trust the American numbers either. I’m equal opportunity in my distrust.
All we’re looking at here are patterns.
The lockdown of China began on Jan. 22. Within a few days, the lockdown had spread to incorporate millions and millions of people and were quite widespread to some degree or another.
This is Worldometer’s chart for China. The chart begins on Jan. 22, which is not accurate – that was the day that they locked down Wuhan so we know there were a number of cases before that date. But this is the data we have to work with. Again, we’re not focused on the numbers, but on the pattern.
China’s cases hit the plateau that we’re calling a “peak” approximately Jan. 30th. That’s when they hit a plateau that was continued after the peak until cases began to drop off on Feb. 19th. During this time, the cases were being diagnosed hard and fast at a high rate that varied from day to day but stayed in a certain range. This means the peak for China began 8 days after widespread lockdown and lasted for 20 days.
You can see a spike on Feb. 13th and 14th. This can be explained away – at least in part. China began using a different diagnostic method on the 13th that didn’t require the antigen test. It was faster and easier to diagnose patients at that time. There were 15 thousand new cases that day and this is notable. This spike occurred 22 days after the lockdown began. They only used this diagnostic method for 2 days, then returned to their previous methods of diagnosis. At that time, numbers returned generally to the plateau that we’re calling the peak.
Cases began to decline 21 days after the peak began, on Feb. 19th.
65 days after the lockdown began, Wuhan relaxed to the lockdown: people can leave their homes but are not allowed to leave the city. If all goes well, China plans to reopen Wuhan on April 8th which is 77 days after they first locked down Wuhan.
We’ll learn a lot about our own future when we see how it goes in Wuhan a couple of weeks from now.
Here’s the deal with Italy.
Italy began its regional lockdown on Feb. 21st and it quickly expanded to a widespread national lockdown by March 9th. (source for dates) As I write this, Italy is at day 20 of its lockdown
In the chart below, it appears that Italy began its peak around March 18th, which is 9 days after widespread lockdowns began.
If the same pattern as China holds true, infections will decline but still be in peak until April 20th.
Italy could begin to relax its lockdown as of May 13th. If China does indeed completely lift its lockdown on Day 77 and this works well, then the end of Italy’s lockdown could be June 6th.
Again, there are many variables. For example, on March 28th in Italy (yesterday at the time of writing), tensions arose in Italy as the health emergency became a social emergency. People broke the shelter in place orders, threatening to storm supermarkets because they’ve run out of food. Cries for revolution arose throughout social media and many people have said they will not remain at home, and that they’re out of food and basic necessities.
This could, unfortunately, result in a much longer period of infection as people gather in crowds to protest. It could even result in a spike for Italy around March 31-April 1 that would be similar to China’s spike, albeit for a different reason.
What about the US?
First things first – this is not going to be over in two weeks. If the country reopened again next week or the week after while cases are still climbing, everything we’ve done from this point on will have been in vain. We’re in this social distancing business for quite a while if we want it to work.
Our first major lockdowns began on March 19th. Thirty-three states have closed down non-essential businesses or mandated some type of lockdown since that time.
If we base our timing on the pattern of China, the peak would have begun yesterday, March 28th. We should begin to see the curve flattening out on charts within the next few days.
This peak would last through about April 30th and we could see our worst days on April 10th and 11th, depending on whether we have some kind of unusual variables like both China and Italy have had.
On May 23rd, we could see the lockdowns become more relaxed, and if they go 77 days like Wuhan, then the lockdowns would end on June 6th.
It’s important to note that we still don’t know what the aftermath of the lockdown looks like in China. It could end up that they’ll put another lockdown in place if infections begin to reoccur at a high rate. Personally, I don’t plan to rush out to a crowded mall the moment lockdowns are lifted. I want to wait and see what happens after a week or so first.
To provide an example, several hundred movie theaters in China outside the epicenter of the outbreak reopened on March 23rd, then were abruptly ordered to close on March 27th without further explanation.
The reopening of the United States could also be a start-and-stop process as scientists learn more about Covid-19.
This isn’t a short term event. It’s going to get worse.
I’m not the only person who thinks these measures could last for quite some time. According to Michael Snyder, it will be ongoing and we too could expect to see some civil unrest before this is over.
Of course many Americans are already losing patience and are quite eager to get back to work. If the “shelter-in-place” orders stretch on for months, it is probably inevitable that we will see civil unrest and rioting like we are witnessing in China right now. Unfortunately, it appears that vast sections of the country will remain shut down for the foreseeable future. (source)
As in China, there are parts of the country that are far less affected than places like New York City and New Orleans. But every single state has diagnosed Covid within its boundaries and none of the country is unscathed by the measures being undertaken to combat the spread.
And despite the steps that Americans have taken to slow this down, we have the unfortunate distinction of surpassing China as the epicenter of the pandemic. On Thursday, March 26th, 17,224 new cases were diagnosed here and on Friday, there were 19,452 new cases.
Unfortunately, the number of new cases is still climbing. We have not seen the worst of this situation yet. People should be prepared for anything from more stringent lockdowns, supply chain interruptions, and potentially even civil unrest in some areas as the situation drags on.
I know these dates and numbers are probably not what you want to hear. It’s only been ten days and for many, it’s practically unimaginable to live like this for 2 more months, stretching into June. The effect on the economy alone is mindblowing, not to mention the feelings of uncertainty, unrest, and even fear that many people are experiencing.
But if you’re anything like me, you’d rather go into this unknown territory facing reality instead of waiting and wondering.

“To ensure that we can defend the homeland despite this pandemic, our command and control watch teams here in the headquarters split into multiple shifts and portions of our watch team began working from Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, creating a third team at an alternate location as well,” O’Shaughnessy said.

You need to listen to JR Nyquist, because he knows what’s about to happen.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-30--Illinois:  Cops Detain & Harass Man For Allegedly Withdrawing $40,000 From His Bank

It ’ s amazing how people doing things with their own money suddenly become suspicious .
If you deposit or take out more than $ 10,000 from your bank account , should you be so fortunate enough to have such funds , you are reported to the federal government .
However , in the state of Illinois , a man withdrew $ 40,000 from his bank and the police were called in and detained and harassed him for it .
Jack Burns at The Free Thought Project has the story : Crawfordsville , IL — Police officers in Crawfordsville appear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to incriminate himself for entirely legal actions he took at his local banking institution .
To be clear , we do not know the identity of the Youtube user who goes by the channel name of SSTX9 .
We found the channel linked to SugarShaneTX9 on Instagram but the user has a private channel .
Also , we ’ ve learned “ Shane ” may also be disabled .
In a recent forum , SSTX9 posted he lives in Indiana , is disabled , and has to make frequent visits to several doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is disabled because he is a veteran , or otherwise , but at any rate , we found his most recent police contact disturbing to say the least .
It may come as a surprise to our readers but your bank tellers are required to report any suspicious financial activity at their bank to the authorities , especially amounts involving more than $ 10,000 .
Yes , that ’ s right America .
The government works closely with your bank to make sure the money you deposit into their accounts stays right there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occasions , if you attempt to withdraw your money in the form of cold hard cash , and it ’ s a significant amount , and your bank thinks you ’ re up to no good ( criminal activity ) , they are required to notify the police .
It is called a Suspicious Activity Report .
Shane may have learned the hard way which bank to trust when Crawfordsville , Indiana police pulled him over and began to question him about his bank account .
In the small town of Crawfordsville ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by armed men with guns and badges and asked to explain recent transition activity he made in his bank account .
There are neighborhoods larger than the town of Crawfordsville so the small town cop harassment of a motorist is making big news as it serves to illustrate the reaches of the powerful police state in which we all live .
As the cell phone footage begins , a Crawfordsville cop asks Shane about his recent bank activity whereby he allegedly “ was down at the bank and you tried to switch 40,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unidentified police officer was not dealing with a rookie .
Shane responded by asking a few questions of his own such as , “ did I do something wrong ?
” “ That ’ s what I was asking .
I ’ m trying to have a conversation with you , ” the officer replied .
At this point , it ’ s apparent that someone “ down at the bank ” reported Shane to the cops .
We at TFTP really don ’ t care if Shane is an upstanding citizen or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , concern ourselves with police department overreach and how it affects our constitutional rights to comport ourselves as free individuals , free from being asked to explain any and all bank transactions to men with guns .
Shane states again : Shane remained quiet and did not respond to the presence or the imposition of the officers with guns standing at his car window .
He did ask the officer , “ Is there anything I can help you with ?
” “ I ’ ll ask it again if you want…no I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you were trying to switch over 40,000 dollars at a local bank , ” the officer stated apparently wanting Shane to detail his personal financial business with an armed officer of the state .
Not getting any voluntary , private , financial information from Shane , the officer then attempted to imply Shane must be crazy to be driving around with $ 40,000 dollars in his possession , something Shane did not admit to be doing .
By all accounts , it seemed to be an attempt to ascertain whether or not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he may be unwell .
We at TFTP have seen this too .
When some citizens do not comply with officer commands they will have the good citizen committed to a psychiatric facility , forced medicines , or even worse , all in an attempt to have their way over the public .
In this case , we suspect if Shane had admitted to having $ 40,000 dollars in cash in his possession the officer would have confiscated the money and held it until Shane could prove beyond a reasonable doubt he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported on cash confiscation schemes by police on numerous occasions .
Sometimes the citizens get their money back and other times they don ’ t .
It ’ s called highway robbery by police accountability activists and we would like to say it is an isolated phenomenon .
But it is not .
In fact , the Supreme Court of the United States weighed in on the practice of Civil Asset Forfeiture on the side of motorists saying police do not have the right to take from someone an excess of money or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the criminal activity with which they have been charged .
But they still do .
Just this past week , CNN encouraged citizens not to rush to their banks to withdraw their money because they fear the Coronavirus pandemic .
It ’ s unclear if that was the reason why Shane was shuffling money around at his bank but his story highlights just exactly what might happen to citizens who do wish to withdraw their money from their bank account for safekeeping at home .
The cops might just pull you over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later visit your home to check on your so-called well being when in fact it ’ s your money they may be after .
In our opinion , Shane handled the police interaction in a courteous fashion , not incriminating himself , or violating any laws in the process .
We are also impressed by the fact he is confident enough to exercise his First Amendment rights to drive around town with a “ F**k Police ” sticker in his car , something which did not escape the officer ’ s notice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ business why Shane displays the sticker but he asked why nonetheless .
Shane simply responded with the stated fact he has been assaulted by cops in the past and is currently suing them in court , both things we would like to know more about .
Shane , if you ’ re out there reading this , please contact us at [ email protected ] and tell us more if you ’ d like .

Yes, that’s right America. The government works closely with your bank to make sure the money you deposit into their accounts stays right there. As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, if you attempt to withdraw your money in the form of cold hard cash, and it’s a significant amount, and your bank thinks you’re up to no good (criminal activity), they are required to notify the police. It is called a Suspicious Activity Report.
Shane may have learned the hard way which bank to trust when Crawfordsville, Indiana police pulled him over and began to question him about his bank account. In the small town of Crawfordsville (population 16,000) a motorist was stopped by armed men with guns and badges and asked to explain recent transition activity he made in his bank account. There are neighborhoods larger than the town of Crawfordsville so the small town cop harassment of a motorist is making big news as it serves to illustrate the reaches of the powerful police state in which we all live.
As the cell phone footage begins, a Crawfordsville cop asks Shane about his recent bank activity whereby he allegedly “was down at the bank and you tried to switch 40,000 dollars worth of cash”. The unidentified police officer was not dealing with a rookie. Shane responded by asking a few questions of his own such as, “did I do something wrong?”
“That’s what I was asking. I’m trying to have a conversation with you,” the officer replied.
At this point, it’s apparent that someone “down at the bank” reported Shane to the cops. We at TFTP really don’t care if Shane is an upstanding citizen or a criminal. We do, however, concern ourselves with police department overreach and how it affects our constitutional rights to comport ourselves as free individuals, free from being asked to explain any and all bank transactions to men with guns. Shane states again:
I’m just curious if I’ve done something illegal because I need to know, I have business to take care of.
Shane remained quiet and did not respond to the presence or the imposition of the officers with guns standing at his car window. He did ask the officer, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Yes,” the officer responded.
“What might that be,” responded Shane.
“I’ll ask it again if you want…no I’m just asking you…my understanding is you were trying to switch over 40,000 dollars at a local bank,” the officer stated apparently wanting Shane to detail his personal financial business with an armed officer of the state.
Not getting any voluntary, private, financial information from Shane, the officer then attempted to imply Shane must be crazy to be driving around with $40,000 dollars in his possession, something Shane did not admit to be doing.
By all accounts, it seemed to be an attempt to ascertain whether or not the officer could detain Shane under the suspicion that he may be unwell. We at TFTP have seen this too. When some citizens do not comply with officer commands they will have the good citizen committed to a psychiatric facility, forced medicines, or even worse, all in an attempt to have their way over the public. In this case, we suspect if Shane had admitted to having $40,000 dollars in cash in his possession the officer would have confiscated the money and held it until Shane could prove beyond a reasonable doubt he earned the money legally.
We have reported on cash confiscation schemes by police on numerous occasions. Sometimes the citizens get their money back and other times they don’t. It’s called highway robbery by police accountability activists and we would like to say it is an isolated phenomenon. But it is not. In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States weighed in on the practice of Civil Asset Forfeiture on the side of motorists saying police do not have the right to take from someone an excess of money or assets which go far beyond the fines for the criminal activity with which they have been charged. But they still do.
Just this past week, CNN encouraged citizens not to rush to their banks to withdraw their money because they fear the Coronavirus pandemic. It’s unclear if that was the reason why Shane was shuffling money around at his bank but his story highlights just exactly what might happen to citizens who do wish to withdraw their money from their bank account for safekeeping at home. The cops might just pull you over, attempt to interrogate you, or later visit your home to check on your so-called well being when in fact it’s your money they may be after.
In our opinion, Shane handled the police interaction in a courteous fashion, not incriminating himself, or violating any laws in the process. We are also impressed by the fact he is confident enough to exercise his First Amendment rights to drive around town with a “F**k Police” sticker in his car, something which did not escape the officer’s notice.
It’s really none of his business why Shane displays the sticker but he asked why nonetheless. Shane simply responded with the stated fact he has been assaulted by cops in the past and is currently suing them in court, both things we would like to know more about. Shane, if you’re out there reading this, please contact us at c[email protected] and tell us more if you’d like.

This may come to the united States , as well due to the continued shutdown and even a stimulus check isn ’ t going to fix what is coming .
Yet , in the UK , it appears the common man is more and more becoming the target , not the pedophile rings , Deep State and elitest , as promised by the anonymous Q .
And what will happen when people can ’ t not only obtain food , but can ’ t pay their mortgages ?
Will those just be forgiven , or will the banksters come in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people out of their homes to shove them into United Nations approved sustainable cities ?
One of the more unorthodox measures implemented by No .
10 Downing Street when it placed the entire UK on lockdown earlier this week was a virtual freeze of the country ’ s housing market .

The edict affects all transactions , blocking all transfers of title until further notice , while also banning evictions , it ’ s basically forcing the entire county to stay put in whatever housing situation they have been living in .
For those who don ’ t have permanent housing arrangements , it ’ s presumably been a struggle .
But that ’ s a relatively small slice of the population .
This is about all prospective homebuyers in the UK can do right now : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have already withdrawn new mortgages to “ focus on existing customers ” , even as demand for loans is expected to soar .
The decision was meant to reduce stress on call centers as most places are expected to be low on staff in the coming weeks .
Lloyds and Barclays have already withdrew most of their mortgage offers , and are expected to cut off all loans currently in the process of being made unless the borrower can put down 40 % .
Barclays told brokers it would no longer offer mortgages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deposit of at least 40 % , but it would continue with some remortgaging deals .
With so much uncertainty and such extreme fluctuations in interest rates and credit markets , banks are hoping to put things on pause until things have calmed down a bit .

And what will happen when people can’t not only obtain food, but can’t pay their mortgages? Will those just be forgiven, or will the banksters come in like the vultures they are and kick people out of their homes to shove them into United Nations approved sustainable cities?
Tyler Durden has the story:
One of the more unorthodox measures implemented by No. 10 Downing Street when it placed the entire UK on lockdown earlier this week was a virtual freeze of the country’s housing market. For nearly a week now, the housing market across the country has ground to a halt as agents have been prohibited from marketing new homes.
And on Thursday, the government took things a step further, and banned visitors from viewing properties while the “stay-at-home” measures are still in force.
The edict affects all transactions, blocking all transfers of title until further notice, while also banning evictions, it’s basically forcing the entire county to stay put in whatever housing situation they have been living in. For those who don’t have permanent housing arrangements, it’s presumably been a struggle. But that’s a relatively small slice of the population.
This is about all prospective homebuyers in the UK can do right now:
“You can speak to estate agents over the phone and they will be able to give you general advice about the local property market and handle certain matters remotely but they will not be able to start actively marketing your home in the usual manner,” the government said on Thursday night.
A number of banks and specialist lenders have already withdrawn new mortgages to “focus on existing customers”, even as demand for loans is expected to soar. The decision was meant to reduce stress on call centers as most places are expected to be low on staff in the coming weeks.
Lloyds and Barclays have already withdrew most of their mortgage offers, and are expected to cut off all loans currently in the process of being made unless the borrower can put down 40%.
Barclays told brokers it would no longer offer mortgages for customers who did not have a deposit of at least 40%, but it would continue with some remortgaging deals.
With so much uncertainty and such extreme fluctuations in interest rates and credit markets, banks are hoping to put things on pause until things have calmed down a bit.
Bankers told the FT that the withdrawal of mortgage products wasn’t a signal that they were running short of financing, as happened in 2008 when funding markets froze.
But with so many borrowers warning lenders to expect delays on their mortgage payments until the federal stimulus checks have been issued, issuing new mortgages right now would almost be stupid. To continue lending money at a time when reliable borrowers are already having trouble doesn’t seem to make sense, which is one problem that the government is going to need to solve with this bailout.
Of course, bankers aren’t running out of financing. They can print money out of thin air, loan it to the people at exorbitant interest rates and make a bundle!
This isn’t rocket science. These banksters are the money changers of the day, and if you are a Christian, understand this is the reason Jesus made a whip of cords and drove them from the Temple. It wasn’t because they were selling animals for sacrifice. It was because they were cheating the people through unjust weights and measurements.
Ezekiel 45:10
“You shall have just balances, a just ephah and a just bath. Proverbs 20:10
Differing weights and differing measures, Both of them are abominable to the LORD. Proverbs 11:1
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight. Proverbs 16:11
A just balance and scales belong to the LORD; All the weights of the bag are His concern. Proverbs 20:23
Differing weights are an abomination to the LORD, And a false scale is not good. Hosea 12:6-7
Therefore, return to your God, Observe kindness and justice, And wait for your God continually. A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, He loves to oppress. Amos 8:4-8
Hear this, you who trample the needy, to do away with the humble of the land, saying, “When will the new moon be over, So that we may sell grain, And the sabbath, that we may open the wheat market, To make the bushel smaller and the shekel bigger, And to cheat with dishonest scales, So as to buy the helpless for money And the needy for a pair of sandals, And that we may sell the refuse of the wheat?” Micah 6:10-13
“Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed? “Can I justify wicked scales And a bag of deceptive weights? “For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
