thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-24--Bizarre New Turns In Coronavirus Outbreak

Many were hoping that this coronavirus outbreak would begin to subside , but instead , we witnessed an explosion of newly confirmed cases over the weekend .
In fact , the number of confirmed cases outside of China has doubled over the past five days .
If that number continues to double very rapidly , authorities will be talking about a full-blown “ global pandemic ” in no time .
When I watched a victim suddenly collapse and start to twitch on a subway in Hong Kong , I thought about the sort of panic that would set off if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I saw a video of Chinese authorities using butterfly nets to capture sick people , it made me wonder what U.S. authorities might do to round up those that are ill .
The level of fear that a full-blown pandemic would cause would transform our society overnight .
Even now , Chinese restaurants in Canada are completely empty due to concerns about catching this virus .
But once this virus is being spread in virtually every city in North America , many of us won ’ t want to go anywhere at all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a complete and utter standstill .
For a while , it seemed like this outbreak was almost entirely a Chinese problem , and most Americans were not too alarmed about it .
But over the weekend the rapid spread of the virus in South Korea , Italy and Iran spooked financial markets and mainstream news outlets in the U.S. started publishing stories about this outbreak with very alarming headlines .
And those alarming headlines are justified because experts are telling us that we could very well be on the verge of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to spread in a community , the number of cases can explode within hours .
For example , the number of confirmed cases in South Korea went from 30 to 602 in just 96 hours… And as I write this article , the number of confirmed cases in South Korea has now shot up to 763 .
By the time you read this article , it will probably be even higher .
In Italy , the number of confirmed cases went from 3 to more than 150 in just a couple of days… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even figure out how the virus got to Italy in the first place , and then have now placed “ almost a dozen towns ” under quarantine… This morning I went to take a look at the Serie A results from over the weekend , and I was particularly interested in seeing how Atalanta had done after their stirring Champions League victory last week .
Unfortunately , their game was among three matches that were called off due to the virus… This is basically the equivalent of cancelling NFL games in the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not happen under normal circumstances .
But these are not normal times .
There has also been an eruption of cases in Iran , and five of their confirmed cases have already died… So now we can ’ t just try to isolate ourselves from China and assume that everything is going to be okay .
This virus has already spread all over the world , and that means that it could come into the United States from almost any direction .
Of course , China continues to be the epicenter of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporter Jennifer Zeng , there are tens of thousands of people in the hospitals in Wuhan , and crematoriums continue to burn bodies 24 hours a day… Here in the United States , we only have 35 confirmed cases so far , and many have been wondering why that number has stayed so low .
Well , perhaps it is because the CDC has only tested 414 people so far… As I discussed the other day , there are thousands upon thousands of people currently under “ self-quarantine ” in the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them not been tested ?
And it looks like the quarantine period being used in the U.S. and in much of the rest of the world may be way too short .
In fact , Chinese officials are telling us that one Chinese man “ took 27 days to show coronavirus symptoms ” … So we may be releasing countless numbers of potentially sick people back into the general population way too early .
This is a nightmare that is getting worse with each passing day , and if this turns into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ global economy is going to be off the charts .
We can get an idea of where things could be heading by taking a look at what is already happening inside China .
Small businesses all over the nation are rapidly running out of cash , and in just a matter of weeks , virtually all of them will be out of cash .
The following comes from Zero Hedge… Now try to imagine what that might look like on a global scale .
We have never dealt with something like this in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is still so much about this virus that is not known .
Personally , I am still hoping that this outbreak will start to fizzle out once warmer weather arrives .
But so far nothing seems to be able to slow this virus down , and it appears that a “ tipping point ” has now arrived .

Many were hoping that this coronavirus outbreak would begin to subside, but instead, we witnessed an explosion of newly confirmed cases over the weekend. In fact, the number of confirmed cases outside of China has doubled over the past five days. If that number continues to double very rapidly, authorities will be talking about a full-blown “global pandemic” in no time. When I watched a victim suddenly collapse and start to twitch on a subway in Hong Kong, I thought about the sort of panic that would set off if that happened in New York. When I saw a video of Chinese authorities using butterfly nets to capture sick people, it made me wonder what U.S. authorities might do to round up those that are ill. The level of fear that a full-blown pandemic would cause would transform our society overnight. Even now, Chinese restaurants in Canada are completely empty due to concerns about catching this virus. But once this virus is being spread in virtually every city in North America, many of us won’t want to go anywhere at all, and that would bring economic activity to a complete and utter standstill.
For a while, it seemed like this outbreak was almost entirely a Chinese problem, and most Americans were not too alarmed about it. But over the weekend the rapid spread of the virus in South Korea, Italy and Iran spooked financial markets and mainstream news outlets in the U.S. started publishing stories about this outbreak with very alarming headlines.
And those alarming headlines are justified because experts are telling us that we could very well be on the verge of a horrifying global pandemic…
“We are at a turning point in the Covid-19 epidemic,” said Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University. “We must prepare for the foreseeable possibility, even probability, that Covid-19 may soon become a pandemic affecting countries on virtually all continents.”
Once this virus starts to spread in a community, the number of cases can explode within hours. For example, the number of confirmed cases in South Korea went from 30 to 602 in just 96 hours…
Confirmed infections in South Korea have exploded over the last 96 hours from just 30 cases to 602 confirmed cases. Local residents there are scrambling to purchase preparedness supplies, stripping shelves bare and leading to a sense of urgency. Some cities in South Korea have already taken on a “ghost town” vibe, with streets emptied and nearly all community functions shut down.
And as I write this article, the number of confirmed cases in South Korea has now shot up to 763. By the time you read this article, it will probably be even higher.
In Italy, the number of confirmed cases went from 3 to more than 150 in just a couple of days…
In Italy, officials said a third person infected with the flu-like virus had died, while the number of cases jumped to above 150 from just three before Friday. Authorities sealed off the worst affected towns and banned public gatherings in much of the north, including halting the carnival in Venice, where there were two cases, to try to contain the biggest outbreak in Europe.
Alarmingly, Italian officials can’t even figure out how the virus got to Italy in the first place, and then have now placed “almost a dozen towns” under quarantine…
Italian health authorities were struggling to find out how the virus started. “If we cannot find ‘patient zero’ then it means the virus is even more ubiquitous than we thought,” said Luca Zaia, the regional governor of the wealthy Veneto region. Almost a dozen towns in Lombardy and Veneto with a combined population of some 50,000 have effectively been placed under quarantine.
This morning I went to take a look at the Serie A results from over the weekend, and I was particularly interested in seeing how Atalanta had done after their stirring Champions League victory last week. Unfortunately, their game was among three matches that were called off due to the virus…
On orders from the government, the Italian league games that were set to be played today – Inter Milan v Sampdoria, Atalanta v Sassuolo and Hellas Verona v Cagliari – were called off. However three other matches in Genoa, Turin and Rome on Sunday were allowed to go ahead as scheduled with many fans wearing facemasks while sitting in the stands.
This is basically the equivalent of cancelling NFL games in the United States. It is something that simply does not happen under normal circumstances.
But these are not normal times.
There has also been an eruption of cases in Iran, and five of their confirmed cases have already died…
As of Sunday, Iran reported 28 cases, including 5 deaths — days after authorities there said they had no Covid-19 within their borders. Cases with links to Iran have already turned up in Canada and Lebanon. Very quickly, the country’s narrative about the virus has changed. Schools and universities across the country are being shuttered as a “preventive measure,” along with some cinemas and restaurants, according to Al Jazeera.
So now we can’t just try to isolate ourselves from China and assume that everything is going to be okay.
This virus has already spread all over the world, and that means that it could come into the United States from almost any direction.
Of course, China continues to be the epicenter of this outbreak. According to Epoch Times reporter Jennifer Zeng, there are tens of thousands of people in the hospitals in Wuhan, and crematoriums continue to burn bodies 24 hours a day…
50-60 K people in hospitals in #Wuhan, out of 18 cremators at a crematorium, 3 were burned out due to overuse. Other 15 in operation 24/7. Many families died out.
Here in the United States, we only have 35 confirmed cases so far, and many have been wondering why that number has stayed so low.
Well, perhaps it is because the CDC has only tested 414 people so far…
Given the tens of thousands of Chinese nationals entering the United States of America every month, the thousands of Chinese students and the many thousands of residents who are under “observation” by state health authorities in places like Washington and California, a reasonable person might expect that the CDC has so far tested at least 10,000 people for the CoVid-19 coronavirus. But guess how many the CDC has actually tested? To the great shock of anyone paying attention, the CDC’s own website admits the agency has tested only 414 people in the entire country.
As I discussed the other day, there are thousands upon thousands of people currently under “self-quarantine” in the United States.
Why have the vast majority of them not been tested?
And it looks like the quarantine period being used in the U.S. and in much of the rest of the world may be way too short.
In fact, Chinese officials are telling us that one Chinese man “took 27 days to show coronavirus symptoms”…
A Chinese pensioner who took 27 days to show coronavirus symptoms has sparked fears that a 14-day quarantine is two weeks too short. The 70-year-old man was infected with the killer virus in China’s Hubei Province and showed symptoms nearly four weeks later, the local government said on Saturday.
So we may be releasing countless numbers of potentially sick people back into the general population way too early.
This is a nightmare that is getting worse with each passing day, and if this turns into a true global pandemic the impact on the global economy is going to be off the charts.
We can get an idea of where things could be heading by taking a look at what is already happening inside China. Small businesses all over the nation are rapidly running out of cash, and in just a matter of weeks, virtually all of them will be out of cash. The following comes from Zero Hedge…
Let’s start with Chinese businesses: while China’s giant state-owned SOEs will likely have enough of a liquidity lifeblood to last them for 2-3 quarters, it is the country’s small businesses that are facing a head on collision with an iceberg, because according to the Nikkei, over 85% of small businesses – which employ 80% of China’s population – expect to run out of cash within three months, and a third expect the cash to be all gone within a month. Should this happen, not only will China’s economy collapse, but China’s $40 trillion financial system will disintegrate, as it is suddenly flooded with trillions in bad loans.
Now try to imagine what that might look like on a global scale.
We have never dealt with something like this in the post-World War II era, and there is still so much about this virus that is not known.
Personally, I am still hoping that this outbreak will start to fizzle out once warmer weather arrives. But so far nothing seems to be able to slow this virus down, and it appears that a “tipping point” has now arrived.

Bernie Asked If He’s Going to Give Up His Private Jets By Texas Woman – Then She Gets Tossed (Video)
Bernie Sanders is one of the biggest hypocrites in congress.
On Saturday a woman decided to call him out, in San Antonio, and was forcefully removed for doing so.
Off to the Gulag with her.
Here’s more from Gateway Pundit:
“Never trust a socialist with a summer house.” — Colin Quinn
For a socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders is doing pretty darn well. He’s a millionaire, he’s got three houses (including a lakefront home with an acre of frontage), and he loves his private jets.
Oh, but don’t ever — ever — ask Bernie about his 1 Percent status.
On Saturday, a woman tried to do just that — and she got forcibly removed from a campaign event in San Antonio, Texas.
The woman — who was wearing a Trump shirt — shouted repeatedly at Sanders about his jet travel, even as he droned on about climate change (Sanders supports a policy being pushed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the “Green New Deal,” which would cost an estimated $93 trillion over 10 years).
“Are you going to give up your planes? Your jets! You’re a hypocrite! Are you going to give away your jets?” the woman, identified by InfoWars as Martha Doss of activist group Just Another Channel, shouted to Sanders.
Outside of the venue, Doss explained that she wanted to highlight Sanders’ hypocrisy on climate change.
I was just saying if he was going to give away his jets, his planes, if he’s going to give them away, because he’s a hypocrite talking about climate change. He’s such a hypocrite,” she said. “He talks about climate change, I’m wondering if he’s going to give up his jets. How did he get here? He probably got here by a plane.”
When Bernie’s not at one of his three house or in first class, he’s flying in private jets.
“Bernie Sanders spent more on private jet travel in three months than his closest competitors in the Democratic presidential race,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“Federal Election Commission filings that the presidential campaigns submitted on Friday for October through December reveal that the socialist Vermont senator’s campaign spent $1.2 million on private air travel through charter flight companies Advanced Aviation Team and Apollo Jets.”

Bernie is dangerous.
He’s just another Democrat** that tells his supporters what they want to hear.
Bernie’s supporters are scary because Bernie is scary.
Is this really the type of man that is capable of leading America?

Democrats are so oblivious to the wants and needs of their own voters that they have to pick a communist for a nominee.
Think about that.
No wonder so many Democrats are jumping ship.

(Partial Transcript…)
The story of American decline is the story of an incompetent ruling class. You’ll hear many self-serving explanations for it. But the truth is, it’s that simple.
The people in charge inherited an industrial superpower with unchallenged military dominance. In a little more than a generation, they squandered all of it.
In exchange for short-term profits, bigger vacation homes and cheaper household help they wrecked what they did not build.
They outsourced entire sectors of our economy to China. They imported a serf class to drive down wages, and they crippled the middle class while doing it.
They ran up trillions of dollars in unpayable debt. They turned the finest universities in the world into a joke. They watched from their decadent little bubbles of affluence as families, faith and public decency died in this country and they laughed because they didn’t care.
How people so awful wound up in charge of a nation as great as ours is a question historians will have to answer – and they will, someday.
But at this point, it’s clear the population has grown tired of it. Donald Trump’s election is one clear sign of that. The rise of Bernie Sanders is another.
The ruling class in other words, is losing its grip on power and the ruling class members can feel it. They can smell it. It terrifies them.
Their first response was denial. It always is. They retreated into fantasy.
They wondered why can’t we be just like Joe Biden and make it 2009 again? Well, that didn’t work and when it didn’t, they reverted to their governing instinct, which is authoritarianism.
They stopped trying to convince the public of anything and instead decided to scare them. Fearful people are easier to control.
You saw it on the front page of their newspaper Friday morning – The New York Times. “Lawmakers are warning that Russia is meddling to re-elect Trump,” read the headline. Inside the story, there was nothing – no evidence, no detail, not even a coherent set of accusations.
But it was enough to alert the morons on cable news. It was time to do their job, which is now and always to run interference for the people in charge.
Now remember, most of the people on television have no idea what they’re saying, even as they’re saying it.
They’re just reading the scripts that were written for them by some 23-year-old women’s studies major from Wesleyan – somebody who knows even less than they do.

The American people are not stupid, which happens to be one of the reasons Tucker Carlson is so popular.
He seems to look at things beyond the eyes of a political pundit.
Tucker gets real.
Tucker is not afraid to go where very few will go.
In a way, he is the media equivalent of our President.
So if he ran in 2024 would you vote for him?
The New York Times knows America would likely support Tucker Carlson so they have already started attacking him.
That’s too funny.
They call us fake news while they attack an imaginary Presidential Candidate.
Maybe he will run.
I’d probably vote for him. I’ve had good luck with voting against career politicians lately.

Do you think George Soros might have had anything to do with that case getting dropped?
Why on earth would he funnel millions to a city prosecutor if he didn’t?
Remember, we are talking about George Soros.
He tried desperately to buy Trump’s impeachment and removal.
He failed.
Maybe he succeeded with Smollett, at least the first time.
It sure looks like it.

Trenton , NJ — Child predator police officers are an unfortunate and all too common reality in the land of the free .

Trenton, NJ — Child predator police officers are an unfortunate and all too common reality in the land of the free. On a near daily basis, cops across the country are busted for horrifying acts against children. Highlighting the severe nature of this problem is the fact that two cops in a single department were recently arrested for possession and sharing child porn.
On Tuesday, New Jersey State Trooper Andrea V. Knox of Mount Holly was arrested and charged with official misconduct and possession of child pornography, according to the state Attorney General’s Office.
Knox is accused of receiving the child porn from trooper Jeffrey Reitz of Williamstown. Reitz was indicted in December on two counts of possession of child pornography. Those charges were related to a separate exchange of texts with a different woman, the statement said.
“During those exchanges, the woman proposed that Reitz sexually assault a young girl and sent him a sexually explicit photo of the girl,” the Attorney General’s Office said.
Horrifyingly enough is the fact that the text had described the girl as the woman’s own 5-year-old daughter.
A criminal complaint, in that case, alleges Reitz responded to the child’s photo by texting “NICE!” and making a reference to sexual arousal.
Knox made similar exchanges with Reitz. As of now, she has been charged for failing to report Reitz when he sent her the images. But more charges could follow.

Fast forward two years, and this hero cop is sitting in a jail cell after being arrested on charges of production and distribution of child pornography.
Also earlier this month, another former cop was arrested in connection with a child sex ring. As TFTP reported late last year, a high level Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy — who commanded the SWAT team — and his wife were indicted on more than 150 felonies for unspeakable crimes against children and animals. Dennis Perkins, 44, and his wife Cynthia Perkins, 34, are accused of multiple counts of child rape and the production of child pornography, among other disturbing charges. Then, at the beginning of the month, another former cop, Melanie Barnett Curtin, 41, of Denham Springs, was arrested Saturday, Feb. 1 as she returned from a cruise in New Orleans.
Adding to the disturbing nature of this case is the fact that Curtin worked for the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office starting in 2011—the same department as Perkins. Her ex-husband is also a former LPSO deputy.
Curtin was arrested on two charges: first-degree rape and video voyeurism in connection to crimes committed with the Perkins. She was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center Feb. 1.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-27--An Educratic Beanstalk & The Oversexualization Of Physical Education

Anti Fed Ed Warriors , as we know , it takes teamwork to get information out .
My dear friend , follower , and staunch Anti Fed Ed Warrior , Paul recently shared with me some concerns about P.E .
( Physical Education ) and how the indoctrination of several agendas found in the CCSS Machine , are surfacing .
Related to some of the programs he mentioned , I remembered I ’ d exposed one called Spark , a few years back .
Could Spark tie to this newer evidence ?
Unfortunately , the website I wrote about Spark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So , we ’ ll see if we can connect Paul ’ s evidence to what I remember finding about the CCSS makeover in P.E .
**What follows is an in-depth look , be sure to take your time , as the web woven around P.E .
is large .
** Warriors , Paul sent me quite a few links , where he started with an article from the Northern Public Radio .
I ’ ve made a screen shot of the article for you .
( *You can enlarge it in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) As you can see , SHAPE America , Classroom Roulette , and , Fitness America were those P.E .
programs featured in this IL article .
Paul graciously shared that he ’ d connected SHAPE America to Playworks ( not currently a SHAPE partner , but a previous one ) .
Here are his words to me , from my Facebook wall .
( *As you can see , I added some emphasis . )
Warriors , enlarge this , so can see the many CCSS Machine member groups tied to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) to your P.E .
classrooms .
Since Paul was kind enough to list SHAPE and some of its partners , I ’ m providing you with links to each of the ones featured .
Warriors , you can access : 1 ) SHAPE America ’ s “ About Us ” , here .
Explore the website , you ’ ll find Special Olympics is involved , as well as the NBA ( National Basketball Association ) .
You ’ ll see that healthy bodies need healthy minds .
Some content is unavailable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : I exposed the CCSS Machine ’ s takeover of Special Olympics a few years ago . )
Warriors , go here to see the ‘ whole child ’ ties to the SHAPE America and CDC .
2 ) Spark ’ s PE website is bright and colorful .
It hides the CCSS Machine very well .
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the right hand corner , note the STEM tie .
Warriors , did you know Spark P. E. is now international ?
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the UN , is naturally involved . )
Spark P.E .
uses ‘ whole child/whole community ’ alignment .
( *Note : ESSA ( Every Student Succeeds Act ) embedded community alignment like this . )
From my previous research , I do remember that most of what I saw , was a huge portion wasn ’ t physical activity in nature , as it was watching a screen about sports .
SHAPE America is listed as a ‘ silver ’ partner to Spark .
3 ) For the rest of the partners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a visual for you .
Be sure to enlarge it .
Then , use the ‘ related resources ’ to learn even more .
ETR , Education , Training , And Research : In the screen shot in the “ From Paul ” section , you ’ ll see ETR ( Education , Training , and Research ) .
They are NOT a SHAPE America direct partner , but describe themselves as a ‘ behavioral health organization ’ .
**Note that I said ‘ sexuality and STEM ’ can be tied to ETR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did I get the sexuality and STEM ties ?
From their website , on the Projects page .
Look down the page and you ’ ll see CTE ( Career Tech Education ) .
**CTE further embeds the SDGs ( SDGs # 4 { education } and # 8 { jobs } ) , as well as the ESSA ( Every Student Succeeds Act ) mandates for ALL education aligning to workforce based standards .
**So how do CTE and workforce standards tie to P.E.
?
STEM , for starters ; but uses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ for healthy minds ( aka : mind bending indoctrination ) via SEL ( Social Emotional Learning ) you build a student ’ s ‘ soft skills ’ ( mind , attitude , values , and beliefs ) .
Soft skills , according to the CCSS Machine are key for being employed .
Not educated , but employed .
ETR also fully supports school based health clinics and programs ( Project page ) .
How does this tie to P.E.
?
ESSA mandated for more school-based health care .
Dr. Douglas Kirby was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ considered a pillar in adolescent sexual and reporductive health .
So , some of the school based health care ties into all this .
ETR can be tied back to the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control ) .
From the ETR page , honoring Dr. Kirby : “ He served as a scientific adviser to the CDC , USAID , WHO , UNFPA , UNESCO , and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
” From this American Journal on Public Health , Dr. Kirby is cited 19 times .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Page 5 .
You can find the Kinsey Institute on Page 9 .
In this 2001 SIECUS Report , Dr. Kirby is cited 8 times .
( *Note : data collection appears on pages 13 , 15 , 19 , and 31 .
On page 31 , the Guttmacher Institute is tied to the data collection .
Guttmacher can be tied to Kinsey and SIECUS , among others , like the CDC , UNESCO ( UN ’ s Educational , Scientific , and Cultural Organization , etc . )
Warriors , my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot , tying SEL to CSE ( Comprehensive Sexuality Education ) .
It ’ s included above in “ Guttmacher ” .
The group pushing global CSE ?
UNESCO .
Warriors , this ‘ ” Dr. ” Kinsey disciple breeding organization ’ was founded in part by “ Dr ” Mary Calderone .
My dear friend and child advocate , Dr. Judith Weisman , exposed the ties between “ Drs.
” Kinsey/Calderone , here .
SIECUS was formerly known as the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States has a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ See below : Warriors , tying ETR and SIECUS to others in the CSE movement , this screen shot sent to me from a Warrior in TX : 1 ) From 2018 , more on mental health and sexuality ‘ standards ’ .
2 ) The current SHAPE partners list ( includes the U.S. Dept .

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, as we know, it takes teamwork to get information out. My dear friend, follower, and staunch Anti Fed Ed Warrior, Paul recently shared with me some concerns about P.E. (Physical Education) and how the indoctrination of several agendas found in the CCSS Machine, are surfacing.
Related to some of the programs he mentioned, I remembered I’d exposed one called Spark, a few years back. Could Spark tie to this newer evidence? Unfortunately, the website I wrote about Spark for has been removed from the internet.
So, we’ll see if we can connect Paul’s evidence to what I remember finding about the CCSS makeover in P.E.
**What follows is an in-depth look, be sure to take your time, as the web woven around P.E. is large.**
From Paul:
Warriors, Paul sent me quite a few links, where he started with an article from the Northern Public Radio. I’ve made a screen shot of the article for you. (*You can enlarge it in a new tab on your computer.)
As you can see, SHAPE America, Classroom Roulette, and, Fitness America were those P.E. programs featured in this IL article.
Paul graciously shared that he’d connected SHAPE America to Playworks (not currently a SHAPE partner, but a previous one). Here are his words to me, from my Facebook wall. (*As you can see, I added some emphasis.)
Warriors, enlarge this, so can see the many CCSS Machine member groups tied to the overreaches from the UN (United Nations) to your P.E. classrooms.
SHAPE And Partners:
Since Paul was kind enough to list SHAPE and some of its partners, I’m providing you with links to each of the ones featured.
Warriors, you can access:
1) SHAPE America’s “About Us”, here. Explore the website, you’ll find Special Olympics is involved, as well as the NBA (National Basketball Association). You’ll see that healthy bodies need healthy minds. Some content is unavailable to non-members, though. (*Note: I exposed the CCSS Machine’s takeover of Special Olympics a few years ago.) Warriors, go here to see the ‘whole child’ ties to the SHAPE America and CDC.
2) Spark’s PE website is bright and colorful. It hides the CCSS Machine very well. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the right hand corner, note the STEM tie.
Warriors, did you know Spark P. E. is now international? (STEM, as a global tool of the UN, is naturally involved.) Spark P.E. uses ‘whole child/whole community’ alignment. (*Note: ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) embedded community alignment like this.)
From my previous research, I do remember that most of what I saw, was a huge portion wasn’t physical activity in nature, as it was watching a screen about sports. SHAPE America is listed as a ‘silver’ partner to Spark.
3) For the rest of the partners, I’ve put them into a visual for you. Be sure to enlarge it. Then, use the ‘related resources’ to learn even more.
ETR, Education, Training, And Research:
In the screen shot in the “From Paul” section, you’ll see ETR (Education, Training, and Research). They are NOT a SHAPE America direct partner, but describe themselves as a ‘behavioral health organization’.
**Note that I said ‘sexuality and STEM’ can be tied to ETR, in that image.
So where did I get the sexuality and STEM ties? From their website, on the Projects page. Look down the page and you’ll see CTE (Career Tech Education).
**CTE further embeds the SDGs (SDGs #4 {education} and #8 {jobs}), as well as the ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) mandates for ALL education aligning to workforce based standards.
**So how do CTE and workforce standards tie to P.E.? STEM, for starters; but uses P.E. as a ‘bully platform’ for healthy minds (aka: mind bending indoctrination) via SEL (Social Emotional Learning) you build a student’s ‘soft skills’ (mind, attitude, values, and beliefs). Soft skills, according to the CCSS Machine are key for being employed. Not educated, but employed.
ETR also fully supports school based health clinics and programs (Project page). How does this tie to P.E.? ESSA mandated for more school-based health care.
Dr. Douglas Kirby was a Sr. Research Scientist for ETR and considered a pillar in adolescent sexual and reporductive health. So, some of the school based health care ties into all this. ETR can be tied back to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control).
From the ETR page, honoring Dr. Kirby:
“He served as a scientific adviser to the CDC, USAID, WHO, UNFPA, UNESCO, and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.”
From this American Journal on Public Health, Dr. Kirby is cited 19 times. The data collection for sexual activities begins on Page 5. You can find the Kinsey Institute on Page 9.
In this 2001 SIECUS Report, Dr. Kirby is cited 8 times. (*Note: data collection appears on pages 13, 15, 19, and 31. On page 31, the Guttmacher Institute is tied to the data collection. Guttmacher can be tied to Kinsey and SIECUS, among others, like the CDC, UNESCO (UN’s Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, etc.)
Warriors, my 2019 article featured in the above screen shot, tying SEL to CSE (Comprehensive Sexuality Education). It’s included above in “Guttmacher”.
The group pushing global CSE? UNESCO.
SIECUS Has Rebranded Itself:
Warriors, this ‘”Dr.” Kinsey disciple breeding organization’ was founded in part by “Dr” Mary Calderone. My dear friend and child advocate, Dr. Judith Weisman, exposed the ties between “Drs.” Kinsey/Calderone, here.
SIECUS was formerly known as the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States has a new name (as of 11/19). See below:
Press Release source
Warriors, tying ETR and SIECUS to others in the CSE movement, this screen shot sent to me from a Warrior in TX:

2) The current SHAPE partners list (includes the U.S. Dept. of Health/Human Services)
3) Spark P.E. has been called a ‘school based intervention’, among other things.
4) Advocates for Youth’s 3Rs page does acknowledge parents and caregivers as the chief sex education leaders in a child’s life, but look at the agenda educational themes of ‘support’.
5) Idecolabs digital badging, assessing, and data tracking. If you wish to see their page on Companies in the U.K., go here.
6) The CCSS aligned ‘crosswalk’ between SHAPE America and CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and, Emotional Learning)

9) Strive Together’s 2018 Annual Report will give tons of CCSS Machine/globalism ties. One of the most ‘notorious’ is Aspen Institute. Their arm, the National Commission for SEL and Academic Development can be found here.
10) To see the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Alliance for a Healthier Generation (be sure to look at the ‘funders’, too), go here.
11) Here’s where you can find the Pearson Education tie to the America’s Promise Alliance.
12) Active Schools has ties to the U.S. Presidential office, the CDC, and every national school leadership association tied to the CCSS Machine. It can also be tied to the American Heart Association.
13) Action for Healthy Kids has a collective agenda mindset and can be tied to SHAPE America, among many others. You’ll see that #12 and #13 are partners. Both these also count ASCD (Gates funded) as a partner group.
14) The biggest concern Paul had, if you recall, was the massive data mining capabilities all these groups connected to P.E. could have. If you access the Boys/Girls Clubs of America 2018 Annual Report, you can easily see (in ‘corporate partners’ section) the many data mining/Big Tech groups.
15) Centervention is not P.E., but IS SEL, 100%! How? Behavior interventions! It can be tied to the NSF (Nat’l Science Foundation), the U.S. Dept. of Ed’s IES (Institutes for Education Science) and others.
16) EduPaths is specific to Michigan and can tie to P.E., as well as every other subject. Ties to early childhood education, as well. A project of EduPaths does align to CTE, as well.
17) Good Sports can be tied to the Active Schools and many others.
18) National Network of State Teachers of the Year can be tied back to Pearson. It’s also tied to the NEA (Nat’l Education Assoc.. (NEA is tied to the UN, as well.)
19) School Based Health Alliance is a non-profit dedicated to increasing the amount of health services based at your school. In ESSA, these are called wrap around services (WASPs). WASPs are part of the UN-led takeover of the family and tie to the 21st Century Community Learning Centers. As far as what CCSS Machine groups help fund this, the CDC can be found.

Closing:
Warriors, sadly this is our reality in 2020. No candidate that I know of is even considering talking about all this. We need them to understand the fact that P.E. is being ruined. No amount of ‘magic beans’ will stop this, unless WE the People demand it.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-27--Really Big News About The Coronavirus In The United States Just Dropped

Really Big News About The Coronavirus In The United States Just Dropped The CDC has announced that there is a newly confirmed coronavirus case in northern California , and authorities have no idea how the victim was exposed to the virus .
This particular individual had not traveled to a foreign country lately and also had not had any contact with a known infected patient .
In other words , it appears that this individual was infected by someone that the CDC does not know about yet .
As soon as this news dropped , financial markets started freaking out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on social media .
Have the efforts to contain the coronavirus in the United States failed ?
And if people are going this crazy even though not a single American has died from this virus yet , what is going to happen if people start dropping dead in the streets ?

The number of new coronavirus cases outside of China is now surpassing the number of new coronavirus cases being reported inside China each day , and this virus continues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On Wednesday alone , Norway , Greece , Romania , North Macedonia , Pakistan and Brazil all reported their very first cases .
In fact , the case in Brazil was the very first to be reported in all of South America .
But most Americans don ’ t care too much about what is going on in the rest of the world .
What they do care about is what is happening within our own borders , and a lot of people are extremely concerned that there is now a confirmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ northern California… The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday confirmed an infection in California that would represent the first U.S. person to contract the virus despite not visiting a foreign country recently or coming in contact with an infected patient .
“ At this time , the patient ’ s exposure is unknown , ” the CDC said in a statement .
“ It ’ s possible this could be an instance of community spread of COVID-19 , which would be the first time this has happened in the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illness for which the source of infection is unknown .
It ’ s also possible , however , that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected.

And could it be possible that there are already many more cases that have not been publicly announced yet ?
I understand that one of their top priorities is to keep the public calm , but the American people deserve to know if they are at risk of potentially catching a very deadly virus .

In fact, the case in Brazil was the very first to be reported in all of South America.
But most Americans don’t care too much about what is going on in the rest of the world. What they do care about is what is happening within our own borders, and a lot of people are extremely concerned that there is now a confirmed case of “unknown” origin in northern California…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday confirmed an infection in California that would represent the first U.S. person to contract the virus despite not visiting a foreign country recently or coming in contact with an infected patient. “At this time, the patient’s exposure is unknown,” the CDC said in a statement. “It’s possible this could be an instance of community spread of COVID-19, which would be the first time this has happened in the United States. Community spread means spread of an illness for which the source of infection is unknown. It’s also possible, however, that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected.”
This announcement came just one day after Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the CDC warned that the U.S. should get prepared for a widespread outbreak of this virus…
Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday the agency expects a sustained transmission of the virus and called for businesses, schools and communities to brace themselves and plan for potential outbreaks.
Also on Tuesday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency even though there were no publicly confirmed cases in San Francisco at the time…
“Although there are still zero confirmed cases in San Francisco residents, the global picture is changing rapidly, and we need to step up preparedness,” Breed said. “We see the virus spreading in new parts of the world every day, and we are taking the necessary steps to protect San Franciscans from harm.”
Is it possible that they already knew about this case of “unknown” origin in northern California on Tuesday?
And could it be possible that there are already many more cases that have not been publicly announced yet?
I understand that one of their top priorities is to keep the public calm, but the American people deserve to know if they are at risk of potentially catching a very deadly virus.
We have already seen how rapidly this virus can spread. A week ago, there were hardly any confirmed cases in South Korea, and now there are 1,595.
In Italy, the number of confirmed cases has now risen above 400, and approximately 100,000 Italians have essentially been placed under quarantine…
Italy now has 400 cases — the largest outbreak outside Asia. And the virus is spreading across Europe, with several countries reporting their first cases, including Norway, Romania, Georgia, and North Macedonia. Many European countries are now implementing emergency measures, with Italy effectively placing 100,000 under quarantine with travel restrictions.
But as this virus continues to spread all over the planet, what are we going to do to try to contain it?
After all, we can’t exactly quarantine the entire world.
On Wednesday, President Trump continued to insist that this coronavirus outbreak is “under control”…
Trump has repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus threat, saying it was “under control.” “The people are getting better. They’re all getting better,” Trump said Tuesday. “I think that whole situation will start working out. A lot of talent, a lot of brainpower is being put behind it.”
Hopefully, his very optimistic assessment is 100 percent correct.
Hopefully, this outbreak will start to fade when warmer weather arrives, and hopefully, we won’t even be talking about it by the time the election rolls around in November.
But a number of experts are insisting that we truly are facing a worst case scenario. For example, one Harvard epidemiologist is projecting that “40 to 70 percent” of the entire population of the world will get the virus…
But here’s one forecast that caught our eyes from The Atlantic. It is titled, “You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus.” That piece quotes extensively a Harvard epidemiologist. The article describes him as a cautious professional, the kind of person who carefully considers every word and then backs it with data. What the professor told the magazine is this: “I think the likely outcome is the coronavirus will ultimately not be containable.” He went on to predict that in the next year 40 to 70 percent of the people on Earth will be infected with coronavirus.
If his projection is accurate, tens of millions will die.
So let us hope that he is dead wrong.
And Zero Hedge has just reported on a brand new study that was just released that has discovered that this coronavirus has “an ‘HIV-like mutation’ which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus”…
While mainstream scientists continue to perform mental gymnastics to insist that the new coronavirus wasn’t man-made, new research from scientists in China and Europe reveal that the disease happens to have an ‘HIV-like mutation’ which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus, according to SCMP. Recall that at the end of January, a team of Indian scientists wrote in a now-retracted, scandalous paper claiming that the coronavirus may have been genetically engineered to incorporate parts of the HIV genome, writing “This uncanny similarity of novel inserts in the 2019- nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature,” meaning – it was unlikely to have occurred naturally. Fast forward to new research by a team from Nankai University, which writes that COV-19 has an ‘HIV-like mutation’ that allows it to quickly enter the human body by binding with a receptor called ACE2 on a cell membrane.
If this information is accurate, that would help to explain why this virus spreads at lightning speed once it hits a particular area.
At this moment, you might not have any confirmed cases in your area.
But by this time next week, you could potentially have a thousand people walking around with the virus in your community.
So use the time that you have now to make preparations because in the not too distant future you might be avoiding going out in public as much as possible.
