USNS Comfort Leaves NYC After Being Unused While NY State Issues Guidelines To NYCEMS To Not Resuscitate Cardiac Arrest Individuals

In the throes of the outbreak of coronavirus in New York City , President Trump dispatched the Naval hospital ship , the USS Comfort , to the city in order to treat patients who did not have coronavirus , making room in the city ’ s hospitals for other patients .
Yesterday , The Hill reported the ship would be sent back to Virginia because Gov .
Cuomo stated the ship was no longer needed .
A Naval hospital ship that was dispatched to New York City to assist with a surge in coronavirus patients will return to Virginia soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump said Tuesday .
Trump met with New York Gov .
Andrew Cuomo ( D ) on Tuesday afternoon at the White House , where the two discussed testing and funding for states .
Trump said he also asked Cuomo about reallocating the USNS Comfort to another area of need .
“ I ’ ve asked Andrew if we could bring the Comfort back to its base in Virginia so that we could have it for other locations , and he said we would be able to do that , ” Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president said converting the Javits Center convention space to a makeshift hospital has made the ship less necessary .
“ We ’ ll be bringing the ship back at the earliest time , and we ’ ll get it ready for its next mission , which will , I ’ m sure , be a very important one also , ” he said .
Cuomo told MSNBC in an interview after the meeting with Trump that he appreciated having the Comfort to handle overflow patients but that the state no longer needed it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epicenter of the coronavirus , State officials believe the number of cases is beginning to flatten .
If this is the case , why are New York City ’ s emergency services workers being issued guidelines to withhold CPR to individuals who have no pulse upon arrival on the scene ?
According to the New York Post : New York state just issued a drastic new guideline urging emergency-services workers not to bother trying to revive anyone without a pulse when they get to a scene , amid an overload of coronavirus patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spend up to 20 minutes trying to revive people found in cardiac arrest , the change is “ necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure , conserve resources , and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives , ’ ’ according to a state Health Department memo issued last week .
Wasn ’ t the USS Comfort stationed in New York City to provide hospital care to patients who did not have coronavirus ?
Wouldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have equipment and facilities necessary to handle patients in cardiac arrest ?
The answer to both these questions would be a resounding yes .
So , why is the State issuing “ guidelines ” basically saying “ let people die ” when CPR can save 3-4 individuals out of 100 .
Are those 3-4 individuals who are saved through CPR unworthy of life-saving measures ?
According to the State of New York , they are , even when coronavirus cases are flattening and a hospital ship stood ready to accept patients , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the State only yesterday .
First-responders were outraged over the move .
“ They ’ re not giving people a second chance to live anymore , ’ ’ Oren Barzilay , head of the city union whose members include uniformed EMTs and paramedics , fumed of state officials .
“ Our job is to bring patients back to life .
This guideline takes that away from us , ” he said .
Earlier this month , the Regional Emergency Services Council of New York , which oversees the city ’ s ambulance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said cardiac-arrest patients whose hearts can ’ t be restarted at the scene should no longer be taken to the hospital for further life-saving attempts .
According to the Post , hospitals in the city have no beds in ICUs because of coronavirus patients .
But , the USS Comfort stood ready to assist the city with individuals who did not have coronavirus .
At what point does one disease trump another when it comes to treatment ?
The regional council directive required emergency workers to perform life-saving measures on individuals for 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the new State “ guidelines ” overrides the regional council ’ s directive .
A veteran FDNY emergency services worker told the Post , “ Now you don ’ t get 20 minutes of CPR if you have no rhythm , ” referring to cardiac arrest individuals who have no pulse upon their arrival on the scene .
“ They simply let you die … but for those 3 or 4 people , it ’ s a big deal.
” The FDNY issued a letter to the State health department , refusing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issued a letter Friday , the day after the state ’ s recommendation , telling city emergency-services workers that “ the NYC 911 system will continue to maintain a higher level of care , ” meaning attempted revivals at scenes would continue .
The state Health Department insists that its new guideline has been in use “ in many areas of the US as well as other locations throughout the world ” — even pre-COVID-19 .
“ These changes are based on standards widely agreed upon by the physician leaders of EMS Regional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Standards Committee of the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council , ” a department rep told The Post in a statement .
Can you see what is going on here ?
Gov .
Cuomo and his State health department are playing politics with the lives of the people of New York City , using the exosome coronavirus as the reason .
Those of you who have been following the reports on Sons of Liberty Media know the truth about coronavirus and the hoax being perpetrated on the American public to promote an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the USS Comfort for quite some time .
There is no reason to cease transporting cardiac arrest victims to the nearest hospital for additional measures .
If the individual is revived , meaning cardiac processes are regained , that individual could have been transported to the USS Comfort for additional care .
It is not unusual for patients to be taken to the nearest hospital for “ stabilization ” then transported either by ambulance or air to another facility for continued treatment .
This is standard procedure , at least it used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hospital facilities are incapable of more than stabilization treatment , or when the hospital ICU units have zero available beds and the patient needs intensive care services .
To be clearer , what New York State is doing is called “ rationed care ” , which is prevalent in countries with socialized medicine .
Regardless of your political persuasion , support , or opposition to the socialized medicine of Obamacare , or your demographic , if you suffer cardiac arrest in New York , you could be “ left to die ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new guidelines .
What do the policies affecting emergency personnel in other countries or even other areas of the US have to do with the emergency personnel in New York ?
If you are not familiar with “ southernisms , ” you would hear this writer say “ the price of eggs in New York ” as the comparison .
It doesn ’ t matter what other countries do or what any other area of the US does .
The State of New York is a sovereign State and makes its own determinations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own determinations until the push for socialized medicine began and Obamacare was rolled out onto the insurance scene .
So , if you have Obamacare , all that “ healthcare ” you were led to believe you would get will be withheld if you have a cardiac arrest in the State of New York should emergency services personnel adhere to the “ guidelines ” .
It proves what many have been saying for years – health care insurance , which is what Obamacare is and always will be , does not guarantee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the same with socializing medicine .
How is that working out for you ?

In the throes of the outbreak of coronavirus in New York City, President Trump dispatched the Naval hospital ship, the USS Comfort, to the city in order to treat patients who did not have coronavirus, making room in the city’s hospitals for other patients. Yesterday, The Hill reported the ship would be sent back to Virginia because Gov. Cuomo stated the ship was no longer needed.
A Naval hospital ship that was dispatched to New York City to assist with a surge in coronavirus patients will return to Virginia soon so it can be routed elsewhere, President Trump said Tuesday.
Trump met with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Tuesday afternoon at the White House, where the two discussed testing and funding for states. Trump said he also asked Cuomo about reallocating the USNS Comfort to another area of need.
“I’ve asked Andrew if we could bring the Comfort back to its base in Virginia so that we could have it for other locations, and he said we would be able to do that,” Trump said at a press briefing.
The president said converting the Javits Center convention space to a makeshift hospital has made the ship less necessary.
“We’ll be bringing the ship back at the earliest time, and we’ll get it ready for its next mission, which will, I’m sure, be a very important one also,” he said.
Cuomo told MSNBC in an interview after the meeting with Trump that he appreciated having the Comfort to handle overflow patients but that the state no longer needed it.
While New York has been an epicenter of the coronavirus, State officials believe the number of cases is beginning to flatten.
If this is the case, why are New York City’s emergency services workers being issued guidelines to withhold CPR to individuals who have no pulse upon arrival on the scene?
According to the New York Post:
New York state just issued a drastic new guideline urging emergency-services workers not to bother trying to revive anyone without a pulse when they get to a scene, amid an overload of coronavirus patients.
While paramedics were previously told to spend up to 20 minutes trying to revive people found in cardiac arrest, the change is “necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,’’ according to a state Health Department memo issued last week.
Wasn’t the USS Comfort stationed in New York City to provide hospital care to patients who did not have coronavirus? Wouldn’t it stand to reason the hospital ship would have equipment and facilities necessary to handle patients in cardiac arrest? The answer to both these questions would be a resounding yes. So, why is the State issuing “guidelines” basically saying “let people die” when CPR can save 3-4 individuals out of 100. Are those 3-4 individuals who are saved through CPR unworthy of life-saving measures? According to the State of New York, they are, even when coronavirus cases are flattening and a hospital ship stood ready to accept patients, but the ship was released from service to the State only yesterday.
The story continues:
First-responders were outraged over the move.
“They’re not giving people a second chance to live anymore,’’ Oren Barzilay, head of the city union whose members include uniformed EMTs and paramedics, fumed of state officials.
“Our job is to bring patients back to life. This guideline takes that away from us,” he said.
Earlier this month, the Regional Emergency Services Council of New York, which oversees the city’s ambulance service, issued a new guideline that said cardiac-arrest patients whose hearts can’t be restarted at the scene should no longer be taken to the hospital for further life-saving attempts.
According to the Post, hospitals in the city have no beds in ICUs because of coronavirus patients. But, the USS Comfort stood ready to assist the city with individuals who did not have coronavirus. At what point does one disease trump another when it comes to treatment?
The regional council directive required emergency workers to perform life-saving measures on individuals for 20 minutes on the scene; however, the new State “guidelines” overrides the regional council’s directive.
A veteran FDNY emergency services worker told the Post, “Now you don’t get 20 minutes of CPR if you have no rhythm,” referring to cardiac arrest individuals who have no pulse upon their arrival on the scene. “They simply let you die … but for those 3 or 4 people, it’s a big deal.”
The FDNY issued a letter to the State health department, refusing to follow their guidelines.
The Post concluded:
The FDNY swiftly issued a letter Friday, the day after the state’s recommendation, telling city emergency-services workers that “the NYC 911 system will continue to maintain a higher level of care,” meaning attempted revivals at scenes would continue.
The state Health Department insists that its new guideline has been in use “in many areas of the US as well as other locations throughout the world” — even pre-COVID-19.
“These changes are based on standards widely agreed upon by the physician leaders of EMS Regional Medical Control Systems across NYS and the Medical Standards Committee of the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council,” a department rep told The Post in a statement.
Can you see what is going on here? Gov. Cuomo and his State health department are playing politics with the lives of the people of New York City, using the exosome coronavirus as the reason. Those of you who have been following the reports on Sons of Liberty Media know the truth about coronavirus and the hoax being perpetrated on the American public to promote an agenda.
New York has had access to the USS Comfort for quite some time. There is no reason to cease transporting cardiac arrest victims to the nearest hospital for additional measures. If the individual is revived, meaning cardiac processes are regained, that individual could have been transported to the USS Comfort for additional care. It is not unusual for patients to be taken to the nearest hospital for “stabilization” then transported either by ambulance or air to another facility for continued treatment. This is standard procedure, at least it used to be, when hospitals are full, hospital facilities are incapable of more than stabilization treatment, or when the hospital ICU units have zero available beds and the patient needs intensive care services.
To be clearer, what New York State is doing is called “rationed care”, which is prevalent in countries with socialized medicine. Regardless of your political persuasion, support, or opposition to the socialized medicine of Obamacare, or your demographic, if you suffer cardiac arrest in New York, you could be “left to die” if the emergency services personnel follow these new guidelines. What do the policies affecting emergency personnel in other countries or even other areas of the US have to do with the emergency personnel in New York? If you are not familiar with “southernisms,” you would hear this writer say “the price of eggs in New York” as the comparison. It doesn’t matter what other countries do or what any other area of the US does. The State of New York is a sovereign State and makes its own determinations.
Well, States used to make their own determinations until the push for socialized medicine began and Obamacare was rolled out onto the insurance scene. So, if you have Obamacare, all that “healthcare” you were led to believe you would get will be withheld if you have a cardiac arrest in the State of New York should emergency services personnel adhere to the “guidelines”. It proves what many have been saying for years – health care insurance, which is what Obamacare is and always will be, does not guarantee services or payment for services. It is the same with socializing medicine. How is that working out for you?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-22--ABC’s Good Morning America Reports COVID-19 Causes “COVID Toe” – No, Really, They Did!

Americans are becoming angry , protesting at state capitols around the country against continued “ stay at home ” in lockdown orders .
Many governors are beginning to open their states in accordance with the plan released by the White House .
Right on cue , an ABC Good Morning America segment highlighted a medical report given by their expert claiming that the coronavirus/COVID-19 can cause skin conditions .
One , they are calling “ COVID toe.
” Yes , you heard that right .
But , according to their expert , there are more skin conditions and a rather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this COVID-19 .
Check out my video on Brighteon .
Anyone who has been following the information at Sons of Liberty Media knows this virus is an exosome , can not be transmitted , and the media and government have created this gigantic hoax surrounding this virus , which has a mortality rate similar to influenza at 0.1 % , to implement an agenda .
Now that people are waking up and protests have started questioning governors ’ orders and “ experts ” providing information to the governors , the lamestream government-controlled entertainment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ factor to get the people “ back in line ” .
Not only is this doctor peddling this coronavirus can cause unsightly , uncomfortable skin conditions , she is claiming it can cause an increase clotting of the blood that resulted in a Broadway performer losing his leg .
She actually said all of this with a straight face .
However , with the CDC and other entities coercing doctors to falsify death certificates , it wouldn ’ t be a far stretch to say these doctors are being instructed to go one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in conjunction with the virus as being an additional symptom of the virus .
Doctors are not looking for the “ root cause ” of these skin conditions nor the idiopathic blood clotting issue appearing in some individuals with this exosome , but are assigning the coronavirus/COVID-19 as producing these ailments as additional symptoms .
It ’ s the perfect move to get people to accept additional infringements upon their liberties , further destroy the middle class , and obliterate the US economy .
No proof was given except anecdotal evidence that this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with someone having their leg amputated is the crescendo to produce fear and alarm .
The question is , “ Are Americans going to submit based on 20 % of individuals having skin conditions with coronavirus and that information being based almost entirely on the Italian State ’ s information ?

David Icke To Police & Military:  “Look Your Children In the Eye” & Tell Them You Enforced Tyranny (Video)

David Icke has been censored and all but banned from speaking , however , London Real ’ s Brian Rose isn ’ t backing down on free speech .
In a new video with Rose , Icke tells the military and law enforcement officers who are imposing the governments ’ will and enslavement on the public to “ look your children in the eye ” and tell them you enforced this tyranny .
No one wants to look deeper , but Icke has the solution to humanity ’ s enslavement .
Simply stop acquiescing to power .
No one wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unless there are “ enforcers ” willing to shove the government ’ s agenda of enslavement down our throats , no one would comply and willingly enslave themselves .
The fact that there is a gigantic police state funded by the very people the government is trying to enslave right now is one huge concern that Icke has the guts to bring to light .
Icke doesn ’ t care about feelings in this video .
He does care about humanity and our future .
It takes courage to stand up right now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but those allowing the psychopaths to remain in power .
Icke says of the enforcers of tyranny : “ Your children and your grandchildren are going to have to live in the world you are enforcing .
Same with the military…you ’ re enforcing laws not to protect the public , but to protect and enforce the will of a cult that makes psychopaths look like Mother Teresa .
What are you doing ?
Look your children in the eye , look your grandchildren in the eye and tell me you ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tyranny that is going to ensnare those kids as much as anyone else ’ s .
Take your uniform off !
Leave the force .
Now tell me how you feel about what you did before .
Now YOU are subject to what you were doing before.

What have people got to lose at this point ?
Most people have lost everything under the boot of tyranny anyway .
“ You know what ’ s happened as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nowhere to run anymore .
So , what are you gon na do now ?
Are you just gon na take it ?
You gon na let the tiny few do this to you ?
“ I ’ ll tell you what I do .
I go whenever I like ; whenever I frickin ’ choose.…it ’ s not about health .
It ’ s about control.
” People are finally waking up to this fact in droves .
It took the advent of total and complete tyranny for people to realize they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they are figuring it out .
People all over the world are waking up and we have the power to stop obeying and enslaving ourselves and others .
What ’ s the answer and the solution ?
Stop bowing to the illusion of power .
A handful of tyrants have claimed power over the lives of 8 billion people .
Stop believing others have the right to rule you .
“ We got into the fricken ’ mess through acquiescence to power .
Most of that power ; all of that power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power .
So if we got into this mess by acquiescing to the illusion of power , what ’ s the frickin ’ answer ?
Ceasing to do so .
And then we ’ ll see where the real power is and it is not with the few .

There Is A Virus & There Is A Virus Agenda : The Second Is Far More Threatening Than The First Despite what you hear from “ constitution experts ” on the TV , no president or governor or health department official has the authority to suspend the Constitution by ordering people not to congregate , or by closing businesses , or by falsely imprisoning people in their homes .
The TV legal experts usually speak of “ balancing ” individual rights against government interests with words like “ compelling state interest ” and “ least restrictive means.
” But this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t contemplate any “ balancing.
” Unless a jury of your peers convicts you of a crime , your constitutional rights are absolute .
And it ’ s the governors ’ sworn duty to protect these rights , not to violate them .
Is this what James Madison was referring to when he declared in Federalist 47 : “ The accumulation of all powers , legislative , executive , and judiciary , in the same hands , whether of one , a few , or many , and whether hereditary , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.
” Well , I have regrettably observed that many modern Americans know almost nothing about the Constitution , or American history , or about the Source and nature of law .
It seems the culprits responsible for this shameful situation include at least the public schools , the “ managed media , ” career politicians , cowardly pastors , and a lazy citizenry .
There is a virus .
And there is a virus agenda .
They are not the same thing .
My field of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have already offered you my opinion that many actions of state governors are not lawful ; and that no emergency or plea of necessity excuses a governor ’ s violation of their state Constitution .
Of course , I am not a medical doctor , but many health professionals believe and the CDC has admitted that the original estimates of the virility and the lethality of COVID-19 were grossly overestimated and that , despite the admitted inflating of COVID-19 related deaths by the CDC , this so-called “ pandemic ” is turning out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu season .
So , there ’ s good news about the virus , but there ’ s not-so-good news about the virus agenda .
The question I have is , despite the flattening of the curve , lower hospital admissions , and falling fatality rate , why are many governors are ramping up their edicts and mandates when it seems they should be relaxing or rescinding them ?
The lockdown continues in “ lockstep.

There Is A Virus & There Is A Virus Agenda: The Second Is Far More Threatening Than The First
Despite what you hear from “constitution experts” on the TV, no president or governor or health department official has the authority to suspend the Constitution by ordering people not to congregate, or by closing businesses, or by falsely imprisoning people in their homes.
The TV legal experts usually speak of “balancing” individual rights against government interests with words like “compelling state interest” and “least restrictive means.” But this is a false pretense. The Constitution doesn’t contemplate any “balancing.”
Unless a jury of your peers convicts you of a crime, your constitutional rights are absolute. And it’s the governors’ sworn duty to protect these rights, not to violate them.
Is this what James Madison was referring to when he declared in Federalist 47:
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
Well, I have regrettably observed that many modern Americans know almost nothing about the Constitution, or American history, or about the Source and nature of law.
It seems the culprits responsible for this shameful situation include at least the public schools, the “managed media,” career politicians, cowardly pastors, and a lazy citizenry.
There is a virus. And there is a virus agenda. They are not the same thing.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-22--Human Lab Rats: The US Government’s Secret History of Grisly Experiments

I have never known any government to put the best interests of its people first , and this COVID-19 pandemic is no exception .
Now this isn ’ t intended to be a debate over whether COVID-19 is a legitimate health crisis or a manufactured threat .
Such crises can—and are—manipulated by governments in order to expand their powers .
As such , it is possible for the virus to be both a genuine menace to public health and a menace to freedom .
Yet we can ’ t afford to overlook the fact that governments the world over , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ untold horrors upon the world in the name of global conquest , the acquisition of greater wealth , scientific experimentation , and technological advances , all packaged in the guise of the greater good .
While the U.S. government is currently looking into the possibility that the novel coronavirus spread from a Chinese laboratory rather than a market , the virus could just as easily have been created by the U.S. government or one of its allies .
After all , grisly experiments , barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions have become synonymous with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out untold horrors against humans and animals alike .
For instance , did you know that the U.S. government has been buying hundreds of dogs and cats from “ Asian meat markets ” as part of a gruesome experiment into food-borne illnesses ?
The cannibalistic experiments involve killing cats and dogs purchased from Colombia , Brazil , Vietnam , China and Ethiopia , and then feeding the dead remains to laboratory kittens , bred in government laboratories for the express purpose of being infected with a disease and then killed .
It gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Affairs has been removing parts of dogs ’ brains to see how it affects their breathing ; applying electrodes to dogs ’ spinal cords ( before and after severing them ) to see how it impacts their cough reflexes ; and implanting pacemakers in dogs ’ hearts and then inducing them to have heart attacks ( before draining their blood ) .
All of the laboratory dogs are killed during the course of these experiments .
It ’ s not just animals that are being treated like lab rats by government agencies .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ become the police state ’ s guinea pigs : to be caged , branded , experimented upon without our knowledge or consent , and then conveniently discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects .
Back in 2017 , FEMA “ inadvertently ” exposed nearly 10,000 firefighters , paramedics and other responders to a deadly form of ricin during simulated bioterrorism response sessions .
In 2015 , it was discovered that an Army lab had been “ mistakenly ” shipping deadly anthrax to labs and defense contractors for a decade .
While these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accidents , ” you don ’ t have to dig very deep or go very back in the nation ’ s history to uncover numerous cases in which the government deliberately conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace—citizens and noncitizens alike—making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals , injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins .
At the time , the government reasoned that it was legitimate to experiment on people who did not have full rights in society such as prisoners , mental patients , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , 600 black men with syphilis were allowed to suffer without proper medical treatment in order to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis .
In California , older prisoners had testicles from livestock and from recently executed convicts implanted in them to test their virility .
In Connecticut , mental patients were injected with hepatitis .
In Maryland , sleeping prisoners had a pandemic flu virus sprayed up their noses .
In Georgia , two dozen “ volunteering ” prison inmates had gonorrhea bacteria pumped directly into their urinary tracts through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients at an insane asylum were exposed to the flu after first being injected with an experimental flu vaccine .
In Minnesota , 11 public service employee “ volunteers ” were injected with malaria , then starved for five days .
In New York , dying patients had cancer cells introduced into their systems .
In Ohio , over 100 inmates were injected with live cancer cells .
Also in New York , prisoners at a reformatory prison were also split into two groups to determine how a deadly stomach virus was spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ swallow an unfiltered stool suspension , while the second group merely breathed in germs sprayed into the air .
And in Staten Island , children with mental retardation were given hepatitis orally and by injection to see if they could then be cured .
As the Associated Press reports , “ The late 1940s and 1950s saw huge growth in the U.S. pharmaceutical and health care industries , accompanied by a boom in prisoner experiments funded by both the government and corporations .
By the 1960s , at least half the states allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pigs … because they were cheaper than chimpanzees.
” Moreover , “ Some of these studies , mostly from the 1940s to the ’ 60s , apparently were never covered by news media .
Others were reported at the time , but the focus was on the promise of enduring new cures , while glossing over how test subjects were treated.
” How many government incursions into our freedoms have been blacked out , buried under “ entertainment ” news headlines , or spun in such a way as to suggest that anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or conspiratorial ?
Unfortunately , these incidents are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the atrocities the government has inflicted on an unsuspecting populace in the name of secret experimentation .
For instance , there was the U.S. military ’ s secret race-based testing of mustard gas on more than 60,000 enlisted men .
As NPR reports , “ All of the World War II experiments with mustard gas were done in secret and weren ’ t recorded on the subjects ’ official military records .
Most do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They received no follow-up health care or monitoring of any kind .
And they were sworn to secrecy about the tests under threat of dishonorable discharge and military prison time , leaving some unable to receive adequate medical treatment for their injuries , because they couldn ’ t tell doctors what happened to them.
” And then there was the CIA ’ s MKULTRA program in which hundreds of unsuspecting American civilians and military personnel were dosed with LSD , some having the hallucinogenic drug slipped into their drinks at the beach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As Time reports , “ before the documentation and other facts of the program were made public , those who talked of it were frequently dismissed as being psychotic.
” Now one might argue that this is all ancient history and that the government today is different from the government of yesteryear , but has the U.S. government really changed ?
Has the government become any more humane , any more respectful of the rights of the citizenry ?
Has it become any more transparent or willing to abide by the rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more truthful about its activities ?
Has it become any more cognizant of its appointed role as a guardian of our rights ?
Or has the government simply hunkered down and hidden its nefarious acts and dastardly experiments under layers of secrecy , legalism and obfuscations ?
Has it not become wilier , more slippery , more difficult to pin down ?
Having mastered the Orwellian art of Doublespeak and followed the Huxleyan blueprint for distraction and diversion , are we not dealing with a government that is simply craftier and more conniving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this : after revelations about the government ’ s experiments spanning the 20th century spawned outrage , the government began looking for human guinea pigs in other countries , where “ clinical trials could be done more cheaply and with fewer rules.
” In Guatemala , prisoners and patients at a mental hospital were infected with syphilis , “ apparently to test whether penicillin could prevent some sexually transmitted disease.
” In Uganda , U.S.-funded doctors “ failed to give the AIDS drug AZT to all the HIV-infected pregnant women in a study… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ newborns.
” Meanwhile , in Nigeria , children with meningitis were used to test an antibiotic named Trovan .
Eleven children died and many others were left disabled .
The more things change , the more they stay the same .
Case in point : back in 2016 , it was announced that scientists working for the Department of Homeland Security would begin releasing various gases and particles on crowded subway platforms as part of an experiment aimed at testing bioterror airflow in New York subways .
The government insisted that the gases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were nontoxic and did not pose a health risk .
It ’ s in our best interests , they said , to understand how quickly a chemical or biological terrorist attack might spread .
And look how cool the technology is—said the government cheerleaders—that scientists can use something called DNATrax to track the movement of microscopic substances in air and food .
( Imagine the kinds of surveillance that could be carried out by the government using trackable airborne microscopic substances you breathe in or ingest . )
Mind you , this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bacteria into the Pentagon ’ s air handling system , then the world ’ s largest office building .
In 1950 , special ops forces sprayed bacteria from Navy ships off the coast of Norfolk and San Francisco , in the latter case exposing all of the city ’ s 800,000 residents .
In 1953 , government operatives staged “ mock ” anthrax attacks on St. Louis , Minneapolis , and Winnipeg using generators placed on top of cars .
Local governments were reportedly told that “ ‘ invisible smokescreen [ s ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city on enemy radar.
” Later experiments covered territory as wide-ranging as Ohio to Texas and Michigan to Kansas .
In 1965 , the government ’ s experiments in bioterror took aim at Washington ’ s National Airport , followed by a 1966 experiment in which army scientists exposed a million subway NYC passengers to airborne bacteria that causes food poisoning .
And this is the same government that has taken every bit of technology sold to us as being in our best interests—GPS devices , surveillance , nonlethal weapons , etc.—and used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control and trap us .
So , no , I don ’ t think the government ’ s ethics have changed much over the years .
It ’ s just taken its nefarious programs undercover .
The question remains : why is the government doing this ?
The answer is always the same : money , power and total domination .
It ’ s the same answer no matter which totalitarian regime is in power .
The mindset driving these programs has , appropriately , been likened to that of Nazi doctors experimenting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recounts , Nazi physicians “ conducted painful and often deadly experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent.
” The Nazi ’ s unethical experiments ran the gamut from freezing experiments using prisoners to find an effective treatment for hypothermia , tests to determine the maximum altitude for parachuting out of a plane , injecting prisoners with malaria , typhus , tuberculosis , typhoid fever , yellow fever , and infectious hepatitis , exposing prisoners to phosgene and mustard gas , and mass sterilization experiments .
The horrors being meted out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back , in a direct line , to the horrors meted out in Nazi laboratories .
In fact , following the second World War , the U.S. government recruited many of Hitler ’ s employees , adopted his protocols , embraced his mindset about law and order and experimentation , and implemented his tactics in incremental steps .
Sounds far-fetched , you say ?
Read on .
It ’ s all documented .
As historian Robert Gellately recounts , the Nazi police state was initially so admired for its efficiency and order by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ J. Edgar Hoover , then-head of the FBI , actually sent one of his right-hand men , Edmund Patrick Coffey , to Berlin in January 1938 at the invitation of Germany ’ s secret police , the Gestapo .
The FBI was so impressed with the Nazi regime that , according to the New York Times , in the decades after World War II , the FBI , along with other government agencies , aggressively recruited at least a thousand Nazis , including some of Hitler ’ s highest henchmen .
All told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a Nazi concentration camp , among others—were given secret visas and brought to America by way of Project Paperclip .
Subsequently , they were hired on as spies , informants and scientific advisers , and then camouflaged to ensure that their true identities and ties to Hitler ’ s holocaust machine would remain unknown .
All the while , thousands of Jewish refugees were refused entry visas to the U.S. on the grounds that it could threaten national security .
Adding further insult to injury , American taxpayers have been paying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s payroll ever since .
And in true Gestapo fashion , anyone who has dared to blow the whistle on the FBI ’ s illicit Nazi ties has found himself spied upon , intimidated , harassed and labeled a threat to national security .
As if the government ’ s covert , taxpayer-funded employment of Nazis after World War II wasn ’ t bad enough , U.S. government agencies—the FBI , CIA and the military—have since fully embraced many of the Nazi ’ s well-honed policing tactics , and have used them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s certainly easy to denounce the full-frontal horrors carried out by the scientific and medical community within a despotic regime such as Nazi Germany , but what do you do when it ’ s your own government that claims to be a champion of human rights all the while allowing its agents to engage in the foulest , bases and most despicable acts of torture , abuse and experimentation ?
When all is said and done , this is not a government that has our best interests at heart .
This is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the answer lies in The Third Man , Carol Reed ’ s influential 1949 film starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles .
In the film , set in a post-WW II Vienna , rogue war profiteer Harry Lime has come to view human carnage with a callous indifference , unconcerned that the diluted penicillin he ’ s been trafficking underground has resulted in the tortured deaths of young children .
Challenged by his old friend Holly Martins to consider the consequences of his actions , Lime responds , “ In these days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of human beings .
Governments don ’ t , so why should we ?
” “ Have you ever seen any of your victims ?
” asks Martins .
“ Victims ?
” responds Limes , as he looks down from the top of a Ferris wheel onto a populace reduced to mere dots on the ground .
“ Look down there .
Tell me .
Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever ?
If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , tell me to keep my money , or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare ?
Free of income tax , old man .
Free of income tax — the only way you can save money nowadays.
” As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , this is how the U.S. government sees us , too , when it looks down upon us from its lofty perch .
To the powers-that-be , the rest of us are insignificant specks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To the architects of the American police state , we are not worthy or vested with inherent rights .
This is how the government can justify treating us like economic units to be bought and sold and traded , or caged rats to be experimented upon and discarded when we ’ ve outgrown our usefulness .
To those who call the shots in the halls of government , “ we the people ” are merely the means to an end .
“ We the people ” —who think , who reason , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who demand to be treated with dignity and care , who believe in freedom and justice for all—have become obsolete , undervalued citizens of a totalitarian state that , in the words of Rod Serling , “ has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time .
It has refinements , technological advances , and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom.
” In this sense , we are all Romney Wordsworth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ episode “ The Obsolete Man .
” “ The Obsolete Man ” speaks to the dangers of a government that views people as expendable once they have outgrown their usefulness to the State .
Yet—and here ’ s the kicker—this is where the government through its monstrous inhumanity also becomes obsolete .
As Serling noted in his original script for “ The Obsolete Man , ” “ Any state , any entity , any ideology which fails to recognize the worth , the dignity , the rights of Man…that state is obsolete.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You start by recognizing the monster for what it is .

“They were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don’t recognize them for what they are until it’s too late.” — Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
I have never known any government to put the best interests of its people first, and this COVID-19 pandemic is no exception.
Now this isn’t intended to be a debate over whether COVID-19 is a legitimate health crisis or a manufactured threat. Such crises can—and are—manipulated by governments in order to expand their powers. As such, it is possible for the virus to be both a genuine menace to public health and a menace to freedom.
Yet we can’t afford to overlook the fact that governments the world over, including the U.S. government, have unleashed untold horrors upon the world in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.
While the U.S. government is currently looking into the possibility that the novel coronavirus spread from a Chinese laboratory rather than a market, the virus could just as easily have been created by the U.S. government or one of its allies.
After all, grisly experiments, barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions have become synonymous with the U.S. government, which has meted out untold horrors against humans and animals alike.
For instance, did you know that the U.S. government has been buying hundreds of dogs and cats from “Asian meat markets” as part of a gruesome experiment into food-borne illnesses?
The cannibalistic experiments involve killing cats and dogs purchased from Colombia, Brazil, Vietnam, China and Ethiopia, and then feeding the dead remains to laboratory kittens, bred in government laboratories for the express purpose of being infected with a disease and then killed.
It gets more gruesome.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has been removing parts of dogs’ brains to see how it affects their breathing; applying electrodes to dogs’ spinal cords (before and after severing them) to see how it impacts their cough reflexes; and implanting pacemakers in dogs’ hearts and then inducing them to have heart attacks (before draining their blood). All of the laboratory dogs are killed during the course of these experiments.
It’s not just animals that are being treated like lab rats by government agencies.
“We the people” have also become the police state’s guinea pigs: to be caged, branded, experimented upon without our knowledge or consent, and then conveniently discarded and left to suffer from the after-effects.
Back in 2017, FEMA “inadvertently” exposed nearly 10,000 firefighters, paramedics and other responders to a deadly form of ricin during simulated bioterrorism response sessions. In 2015, it was discovered that an Army lab had been “mistakenly” shipping deadly anthrax to labs and defense contractors for a decade.
While these particular incidents have been dismissed as “accidents,” you don’t have to dig very deep or go very back in the nation’s history to uncover numerous cases in which the government deliberately conducted secret experiments on an unsuspecting populace—citizens and noncitizens alike—making healthy people sick by spraying them with chemicals, injecting them with infectious diseases and exposing them to airborne toxins.
At the time, the government reasoned that it was legitimate to experiment on people who did not have full rights in society such as prisoners, mental patients, and poor blacks.
In Alabama, for example, 600 black men with syphilis were allowed to suffer without proper medical treatment in order to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis. In California, older prisoners had testicles from livestock and from recently executed convicts implanted in them to test their virility. In Connecticut, mental patients were injected with hepatitis.
In Maryland, sleeping prisoners had a pandemic flu virus sprayed up their noses. In Georgia, two dozen “volunteering” prison inmates had gonorrhea bacteria pumped directly into their urinary tracts through the penis. In Michigan, male patients at an insane asylum were exposed to the flu after first being injected with an experimental flu vaccine. In Minnesota, 11 public service employee “volunteers” were injected with malaria, then starved for five days.
In New York, dying patients had cancer cells introduced into their systems. In Ohio, over 100 inmates were injected with live cancer cells. Also in New York, prisoners at a reformatory prison were also split into two groups to determine how a deadly stomach virus was spread: the first group was made to swallow an unfiltered stool suspension, while the second group merely breathed in germs sprayed into the air.

Moreover, “Some of these studies, mostly from the 1940s to the ’60s, apparently were never covered by news media. Others were reported at the time, but the focus was on the promise of enduring new cures, while glossing over how test subjects were treated.”
Media blackouts, propaganda, spin. Sound familiar?
How many government incursions into our freedoms have been blacked out, buried under “entertainment” news headlines, or spun in such a way as to suggest that anyone voicing a word of caution is paranoid or conspiratorial?
Unfortunately, these incidents are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the atrocities the government has inflicted on an unsuspecting populace in the name of secret experimentation.
For instance, there was the U.S. military’s secret race-based testing of mustard gas on more than 60,000 enlisted men.

And they were sworn to secrecy about the tests under threat of dishonorable discharge and military prison time, leaving some unable to receive adequate medical treatment for their injuries, because they couldn’t tell doctors what happened to them.”
And then there was the CIA’s MKULTRA program in which hundreds of unsuspecting American civilians and military personnel were dosed with LSD, some having the hallucinogenic drug slipped into their drinks at the beach, in city bars, at restaurants. As Time reports, “before the documentation and other facts of the program were made public, those who talked of it were frequently dismissed as being psychotic.”
Now one might argue that this is all ancient history and that the government today is different from the government of yesteryear, but has the U.S. government really changed?
Has the government become any more humane, any more respectful of the rights of the citizenry?
Has it become any more transparent or willing to abide by the rule of law? Has it become any more truthful about its activities? Has it become any more cognizant of its appointed role as a guardian of our rights?

The question remains: why is the government doing this? The answer is always the same: money, power and total domination.
It’s the same answer no matter which totalitarian regime is in power.
The mindset driving these programs has, appropriately, been likened to that of Nazi doctors experimenting on Jews. As the Holocaust Museum recounts, Nazi physicians “conducted painful and often deadly experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners without their consent.”
The Nazi’s unethical experiments ran the gamut from freezing experiments using prisoners to find an effective treatment for hypothermia, tests to determine the maximum altitude for parachuting out of a plane, injecting prisoners with malaria, typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and infectious hepatitis, exposing prisoners to phosgene and mustard gas, and mass sterilization experiments.
The horrors being meted out against the American people can be traced back, in a direct line, to the horrors meted out in Nazi laboratories. In fact, following the second World War, the U.S. government recruited many of Hitler’s employees, adopted his protocols, embraced his mindset about law and order and experimentation, and implemented his tactics in incremental steps.
Sounds far-fetched, you say? Read on. It’s all documented.
As historian Robert Gellately recounts, the Nazi police state was initially so admired for its efficiency and order by the world powers of the day that J. Edgar Hoover, then-head of the FBI, actually sent one of his right-hand men, Edmund Patrick Coffey, to Berlin in January 1938 at the invitation of Germany’s secret police, the Gestapo.
The FBI was so impressed with the Nazi regime that, according to the New York Times, in the decades after World War II, the FBI, along with other government agencies, aggressively recruited at least a thousand Nazis, including some of Hitler’s highest henchmen.
All told, thousands of Nazi collaborators—including the head of a Nazi concentration camp, among others—were given secret visas and brought to America by way of Project Paperclip. Subsequently, they were hired on as spies, informants and scientific advisers, and then camouflaged to ensure that their true identities and ties to Hitler’s holocaust machine would remain unknown. All the while, thousands of Jewish refugees were refused entry visas to the U.S. on the grounds that it could threaten national security.
Adding further insult to injury, American taxpayers have been paying to keep these ex-Nazis on the U.S. government’s payroll ever since. And in true Gestapo fashion, anyone who has dared to blow the whistle on the FBI’s illicit Nazi ties has found himself spied upon, intimidated, harassed and labeled a threat to national security.
As if the government’s covert, taxpayer-funded employment of Nazis after World War II wasn’t bad enough, U.S. government agencies—the FBI, CIA and the military—have since fully embraced many of the Nazi’s well-honed policing tactics, and have used them repeatedly against American citizens.
It’s certainly easy to denounce the full-frontal horrors carried out by the scientific and medical community within a despotic regime such as Nazi Germany, but what do you do when it’s your own government that claims to be a champion of human rights all the while allowing its agents to engage in the foulest, bases and most despicable acts of torture, abuse and experimentation?
When all is said and done, this is not a government that has our best interests at heart.
This is not a government that values us.
Perhaps the answer lies in The Third Man, Carol Reed’s influential 1949 film starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles. In the film, set in a post-WW II Vienna, rogue war profiteer Harry Lime has come to view human carnage with a callous indifference, unconcerned that the diluted penicillin he’s been trafficking underground has resulted in the tortured deaths of young children.
Challenged by his old friend Holly Martins to consider the consequences of his actions, Lime responds, “In these days, old man, nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don’t, so why should we?”
“Have you ever seen any of your victims?” asks Martins.
“Victims?” responds Limes, as he looks down from the top of a Ferris wheel onto a populace reduced to mere dots on the ground. “Look down there. Tell me.

As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People , this is how the U.S. government sees us, too, when it looks down upon us from its lofty perch.
To the powers-that-be, the rest of us are insignificant specks, faceless dots on the ground.
To the architects of the American police state, we are not worthy or vested with inherent rights. This is how the government can justify treating us like economic units to be bought and sold and traded, or caged rats to be experimented upon and discarded when we’ve outgrown our usefulness.
To those who call the shots in the halls of government, “we the people” are merely the means to an end.
“We the people”—who think, who reason, who take a stand, who resist, who demand to be treated with dignity and care, who believe in freedom and justice for all—have become obsolete, undervalued citizens of a totalitarian state that, in the words of Rod Serling, “has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom.”
In this sense, we are all Romney Wordsworth, the condemned man in Serling’s Twilight Zone episode “The Obsolete Man .”
“The Obsolete Man” speaks to the dangers of a government that views people as expendable once they have outgrown their usefulness to the State. Yet—and here’s the kicker—this is where the government through its monstrous inhumanity also becomes obsolete. As Serling noted in his original script for “The Obsolete Man,” “Any state, any entity, any ideology which fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man…that state is obsolete.”
How do you defeat a monster? You start by recognizing the monster for what it is.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-22--The UN Is Now Admitting That This Coronavirus Pandemic Could Spark Famines Of “Biblical Proportions”

The UN Is Now Admitting That This Coronavirus Pandemic Could Spark Famines Of “ Biblical Proportions ” What the head of the UN ’ s World Food Program just said should be making front-page headlines all over the globe .
Because if what he is claiming is true , we are about to see global food shortages on a scale that is absolutely unprecedented in modern history .
Even before COVID-19 arrived , armies of locusts the size of major cities were voraciously eating crops all across Africa , the Middle East and parts of Asia , and UN officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mean for global food production .
And now the coronavirus shutdowns that have been implemented all over the planet have brought global trade to a standstill , they are making it more difficult to maintain normal food production operations , and they have forced countless workers to stay home and not earn a living .
All of this adds up to a recipe for a complete and utter nightmare in the months ahead .
David Beasley is the head of the UN ’ s World Food Program , and on Tuesday he warned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ biblical proportions ” by the end of this calendar year .
The following comes from ABC News… The coronavirus pandemic could soon double hunger , causing famines of “ biblical proportions ” around the world by the end of the year , the head of the World Food Programme , David Beasley , told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday .
Beasley warned that analysis from the World Food Programme , the U.N. ’ s food-assistance branch , shows that because of the coronavirus , “ an additional 130 million people could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the end of 2020 .
That ’ s a total of 265 million people.
” He described what we are facing as “ a hunger pandemic ” , and he insisted that urgent action must be taken in order to avoid a nightmare scenario .
But in some parts of the globe , a nightmare scenario is already unfolding .
For example , close to half the population of South Sudan is currently facing starvation , and for many of them , the only food that is available is what gets dropped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the “ chronic food shortages ” have already become so severe that they are starting to spark rioting , looting and civil unrest… Here in the western world , we don ’ t have to worry about such things yet , but without a doubt , the number of needy people is rapidly rising .

The UN Is Now Admitting That This Coronavirus Pandemic Could Spark Famines Of “Biblical Proportions”
What the head of the UN’s World Food Program just said should be making front-page headlines all over the globe. Because if what he is claiming is true, we are about to see global food shortages on a scale that is absolutely unprecedented in modern history. Even before COVID-19 arrived, armies of locusts the size of major cities were voraciously eating crops all across Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, and UN officials were loudly warning about what that would mean for global food production. And now the coronavirus shutdowns that have been implemented all over the planet have brought global trade to a standstill, they are making it more difficult to maintain normal food production operations, and they have forced countless workers to stay home and not earn a living. All of this adds up to a recipe for a complete and utter nightmare in the months ahead.
David Beasley is the head of the UN’s World Food Program, and on Tuesday he warned that we could actually see famines of “biblical proportions” by the end of this calendar year. The following comes from ABC News…
The coronavirus pandemic could soon double hunger, causing famines of “biblical proportions” around the world by the end of the year, the head of the World Food Programme, David Beasley, told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday. Beasley warned that analysis from the World Food Programme, the U.N.’s food-assistance branch, shows that because of the coronavirus, “an additional 130 million people could be pushed to the brink of starvation by the end of 2020. That’s a total of 265 million people.”
He described what we are facing as “a hunger pandemic”, and he insisted that urgent action must be taken in order to avoid a nightmare scenario.
But in some parts of the globe, a nightmare scenario is already unfolding. For example, close to half the population of South Sudan is currently facing starvation, and for many of them, the only food that is available is what gets dropped from the sky…
The villagers hear the distant roar of jet engines before a cargo plane makes a deafening pass over Mogok, dropping sacks of grain from its hold to the marooned dust bowl below. There is no other way to get food to this starving hamlet in South Sudan. There are no roads, and the snaking Nile is miles away.
Over in South Africa, the “chronic food shortages” have already become so severe that they are starting to spark rioting, looting and civil unrest…
UNREST broke out in parts of South Africa amid chronic food shortages sparked by the coronavirus pandemic. Looters raided shops, attacked each other, the army and police after breaching one of the strictest lockdowns in the world. Police fired rubber bullets and teargas to disperse the mobs but local community leaders fear more outbreaks of violence are imminent.
Here in the western world, we don’t have to worry about such things yet, but without a doubt, the number of needy people is rapidly rising.
This past Saturday, vehicles literally began lining up at 2 AM in the morning for a food distribution event at the San Antonio Food Bank…
The San Antonio Food Bank teamed up with Atascosa County to feed meals and hope to hundreds of people Saturday morning. Vehicles began to line up around 2 AM Saturday outside the county courthouse, winding through neighborhoods at least two miles away.
I have never heard of people lining up so early before.
I have heard of vehicles lining up at the crack of dawn around the country in recent days, but 2 AM is absolutely nuts.
But these people realize that when the food is gone there will be no more handouts that day, and there are many that are absolutely desperate to get something to feed their families.
As this coronavirus pandemic has created an enormous amount of fear all over the country, empty shelves have been reported in frozen food sections all over the nation, and the fact that an increasing number of meat processing plants are being temporarily closed down is certainly not helping things. According to CBS News, at least 17 meat processing plants in the United States have been shut down so far…
Coronavirus infections in at least 17 meat processing plants across nine states are contributing to a spike in confirmed cases in the Midwest. Although 13 plants are already closed temporarily or operating at reduced capacity, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says shutting down plants would hurt farmers and the national food supply.
In a desperate attempt to keep as many facilities in her state open as possible, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has enlisted the help of the National Guard…
Hundreds of National Guard personnel are being activated in Iowa as coronavirus sweeps through meat-processing plants in a state that accounts for about a third of U.S. pork supply. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said 250 National Guard members have been moved to full-time federal duty status and could help with testing and contact tracing for workers at plants operated by Tyson Foods Inc. and National Beef Packing Co.
The good news is that authorities are telling us that any product shortages should just be temporary and that all of these processing plants will eventually be brought back on line.
But for the planet as a whole, life is not going to be getting back to “normal” any time soon.
In fact, Takeshi Kasai of the World Health Organization is warning that we need to accept “a new way of living” until a vaccine finally arrives…
“At least until a vaccine, or a very effective treatment, is found, this process will need to become our new normal,” he said. “Individuals and society need to be ready for a new way of living.”
But now that scientists have discovered approximately 30 different strains of this virus, that is going to greatly complicate matters.
Coming up with a successful vaccine for any coronavirus would be a historic feat, and now scientists also have to hope that they will pick the particular strain of COVID-19 that will become dominant in the future.
And of course, many people around the globe will not want to take any vaccine that is developed under any circumstances.
So those that are thinking that there will be an easy way out of this crisis are likely to be deeply disappointed.
Meanwhile, the global economic downturn is getting deeper with each passing day, and global food supplies are getting tighter and tighter.
A global famine is coming, and the UN is sounding the alarm.
Unfortunately, most people in the western world are still not listening.
