    As of April 30, the coronavirus pandemic has killed 61,500 Americans in two months and induced the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. And if history is our guide, the economic crisis, which has produced 30 million unemployed Americans in six weeks, may prove more enduring, ruinous and historic than the still-rising and tragic...
  • TG says:

    As always Pat Buchanan argues his case intelligently. But I think what we need to remember, is that the elites that governed the nation a century ago were very very different from the elites we have today.

    The United States a century ago was not paradise, it had a lot of rough edges, corruption, what have you. But the elites – even the anti-worker ones – did care about the nation as a whole. There was some level of obligation, of duty, of honor, of fair dealing, and honesty.

    Our elites today are completely rotten and corrupt and their only concern about this nation show much they can loot from it short term. We don’t have the masks or tests or reagents to make the tests or even the factories to make the reagents to make the tests, because they’ve all been shipped to China, and the reaction of our elites is: too bad. Let’s have more “surprise medical billing” so we can suck even more money out of workers!

    A big deal was made about these stimulus checks given to (some) working class people. Against these crumbs, the elites are showering themselves with free money. There is no longer any shred of restraint. Wealthy investors are selling junk-grade investments to the federal reserve and getting 100% face value cash no questions asked. I sure wish I could take a billion dollars of worthless paper and get full face value cash, but only the elites get to play that game.

    And we see industries that have hollowed themselves out loading up on debt, buying their stocks, now getting bailed out by the taxpayer – and of course these industries aren’t maintaining employment or making any investments, they are maintaining their CEO bonuses and cashing out and gutting the business. And unlike a century ago, there is virtually no press reaction to this extreme corruption.

    Well said TG. You have done a fine job of encapsulating what is taking place. It is entirely outside of the awareness of the average American because there is no mention of it in the corporate media that propagandizes them on a daily basis. While the economy is crashing in an unprecedented fashion the stock market has had one of the biggest run-ups in its history. The citizenry is oblivious to the "extreme corruption" that has made this possible. I believe that all the Treasury and the Federal Reserve have achieved is a postponement of the day of reckoning. It may be postponed long enough for Trump to be reelected.

Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, and Lowes would either automate or would end up hiring a lot less workers due to higher wage rates caused by restricted labour supply caused by the loss of cheap legal and illegal foreign labour. The cruise ship industry would also go under. The economic dislocation would be as large as that being caused by the current lockdowns.

    Nothing disrupted the UK economy than World War 1, not even the long drawn out Napoleonic wars, the American war or even World War 2. In fact, Britain's history is a long, long litany of wars which exhausted the national treasury. Famously, Henry VIII debased the national coinage and brought in hyper inflation, to pay for his particular campaigning.

    Anyhow, the damage wrought by WW1 on the British economy - which will never be matched - *did* lead to massive unemployment, the abolition of sterling/gold compatibility, *but* the 1920s and 30s saw the longest, most sustained period of industrial expansion the UK has ever seen. Most of Britain's housing was built in that period.

    No. The *REAL* economic catastrophe of the times is the EU euro currency vanity project, disaster zone.
    In the final analysis, *ALL* that matters is economic growth. Everything else is mere bullshit. The euro currency is the most fiendishly devised scheme yet authored by the The Economist magazine to perpetuate and institutionalize zero economic growth. Over *DECADES*.

    As to civil war, Chinese TFR is too low for civil war. The general mood in China is noticeably more optimistic than the general mood in the West – and quite understandably so, as the Chinese have so far not pursued replacement migration. Plus, the Chinese have a lot of technological tools to prevent civil war, such as the social credit system. The historical cycle of instability in China is likely something of an anachronism now.

    I once read that Italians were entirely too sensible to take the idea of re-establishing the Roman Empire seriously. Benito Mussolini had terrible geopolitical instincts to enter WWII on the German side. He would have been much better off taking the position that Francisco Franco took and remaining neutral.

    He actually had a wise plan before joining the Axis.

    Their original plan was to rebuild the Roman empire by pushing over easy countries like Ethiopia. They were going to rebuild most of it in Africa and then expand as a world power. He correctly assessed that the Allies wouldn't fight for African countries.

    Though he bet on the Axis it wasn't a decision he took lightly.

    Mussolini probably would not have joined if knew that Hitler was going to invade Poland. The Germans were convinced that the Allies wouldn't defend Poland but the Italians correctly believed it to be too risky. But by then the Italians had already taken sides. Of course they later switched when the cards went the other way.

    But yes Franco ended up looking the wiser. If Hitler had stayed in his borders they would be the dominate power today. A lot of people don't realize they were already the leader in tech before WW2.

    IMO the Germans already had enough “Lebensraum” through occupying Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Holland, Belgium, France and Norway. Why did they need to invade Soviet Russia?

    Whether it was Imperialistic or pre-emptive doesn’t really make much difference.

    If the Germans had left Great Britain alone and concentrated their full power defensively (on short supply lines) on the new German/Soviet border Stalin would never have risked an invasion.

    On the tech aspect – from Irving’s “The War Path”:

    “On 3rd July 1939, Hitler and Göring visited a secret display of new Luftwaffe equipment at Rechlin air experimental station. Hoping to regain Luftwaffe priorities in the fight for scarce labour and raw materials, Göering, Milch and Udet had staged a display of aviation magic that Göering was later to rue, since most of the exhibits were solitary prototypes still many years from squadron service: Hitler was shown an experimental Heinkel rocket propelled fighter, and a jet fighter only a few days away from its maiden flight; a Heinkel 111 bomber, heavily overloaded, was lifted effortlessly into the air by rocket-assisted take-off units. There was early warning radar, and pressure cabins for high altitude planes …” etc etc.

    Dating the Peak

    With the epidemic arc now all-but-complete, we can date the peak with confidence. Sweden’s coronavirus-positive deaths peaked between April 2nd to 19th.

    The sum of coronavirus-positive deaths in this eighteen-day peak period was: 1,612 (as of this writing; this may update slightly) for an average of 89.5/day. New deaths broke 100/day on three separate days between April 7 and 15, but deaths have been in steady, sustained, and clear decline since the April 19. On the downward slope of the epidemic curve, deaths have averaged about 50/day for the down-slope period April 20 to 27; they will likely under 25/day in early May and the epidemic as measured in deaths will end by mid-May at which time deaths return to near zero.

    Next we can date the peak for “ICU intakes.†Measured in terms of a three-day moving-average for respiratory-disease patients positive for the Wuhan coronavirus and admitted to ICUs, ICU-intakes peaked March 29 to April 14, at about 40/day. The ICU-intake curve peaks about five days before the deaths curve peaks, which is entirely unsurprising and in line with what we know of epidemiology for respiratory diseases.

    Because deaths are a lagging indicator, we can also say with reasonable confidence that the transmission phase peaked in the first half of March, probably something like two weeks before the ICU-intake curve’s upswing begins (the third and fourth weeks in the graph). This is the same story for lots of other countries; all the lockdowns came after the epidemics were already running their usual and inevitable course

    It's how the Right and Left always use history.

    And how they use history is why it's high time to ditch the Right and Left forever.

    It can be done.

    Of course, there's a good chance history itself might do it for us.

    So, how do the Right and Left use history?

    I despise both parties, but regardless, this COVID-19 doomer hysteria is bullshit, and the effects it will have on the economy will be deep and long lasting. I don't really care for playing politics on this issue, which both sides are definitely doing. The fact of the matter is that our rights have been trampled, and our livelihoods destroyed (the worst is yet to come) over engineered panic over a virus that isn't much more dangerous than the flu. There is an agenda here, and both parties, the media, and all the other power players are in on it. The masses, who by and large cannot think for themselves, believe in this nonsense, as they believe whatever the narrative preached by every branch of authority says, particularly when the message is in unison. Whether the red team or the blue team is in charge, it is only going downhill from here.

    It is indeed interesting history, in that very few people understand the crucial relationship between the aristocratic landed estates and the ordinary people who formed the bulk of the rural population. It is too easy - especially for a 'townee' living in urban Britain - to turn a blind eye to this seemingly irrelevant component of British social history, and gaily to go off and become a 'Trot' or some other misguided species of 'communist'. The fact is that for anyone familiar with British aristocracy, the concept of noblesse oblige was fundamentally important.

    It tallies with your very valid point about the necessity for 'strong kings' who have, as you put it, 'some feeling for the common weal' precisely in order to ensure that the merchant class is denied control of a country. This is of course why we are constantly brainwashed into regarding their scam of 'democracy', (which, alas, has all too successfully persuaded the masses that they, 'the people', are 'sovereign', when of course the exact opposite is true) as being a sacrosanct part of 'Western' life. I think it was Mark Twain who remarked that if voting made any difference they wouldn't allow it. 'They', in this case, being of course the triumphant 'merchant' class (and we all know who that is don't we boys and girls?).

    In this regard, I was commissioned to write, around two years ago, a monograph on the subject of National Socialism, by a website that has since been 'de-platformed'. My finished work ran to around 40k words, and was, I'm happy to report, well received. In it, I was keen to stress the key political bifurcation - arguably the only meaningful such division - that lies between 'Traditionalism' and 'Modernism'. I lifted my quote in the post you replied to about English country estates straight from my monograph. It was directly preceded by this:

    'The ‘Modernist’ phenomenon is one that can first be discerned in England during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558 – 1603), and which gathered pace as the 17th-century progressed, culminating in the English Civil War of 1642-51. Writing of these initially English political divisions, political philosopher Anthony Ludovici identified their origins (in his A Defence of Conservatism, 1927) as ultimately arising from the growing bifurcation of rural and urban life in England:

    And it is not astonishing therefore that at the time of the Great Rebellion [the English Civil War or ‘Cromwellian Revolution’] the first great national division that occurred on a great political issue, the Tory-Rural-Agricultural party should have found itself arrayed in the protection and defence of the Crown, against the Whig-Urban-Commercial Trading party. True, Tory and Whig, as the designation of the two leading parties in the state, were not yet known; but in the two sides that fought about the person of the King [Charles I], the temperament and aims of these parties were already plainly discernible.

    Charles I, as I have pointed out, was probably the first Tory, and the greatest Conservative. He believed in securing the personal freedom and happiness of the people. He protected the people not only against the rapacity of their employers in trade and manufacture, but also against oppression of the mighty and the great.

    It was this traditional order, with the Crown at its apex, which in that Civil War stood against ‘bourgeoisie revolution’ (a Modernist phenomenon), based as it was on the new ideas of money and mercantilism. Money, for the first time in the West, came to be seen not only as an end in itself, but also as a commodity; something to be traded, loaned at interest and speculated upon. Agricultural estates and businesses soon followed suit, being bought and sold at profit, or used to build up business and farming ‘empires’.

    The growing primacy of money inevitably led to it replacing the traditional ways by which a man’s worth might be measured, which is to say by the cardinal virtues of goodness, truth, duty, honour and self-sacrifice. A man’s ‘worth’ was now instead considered to be no more than the balance he could boast of at the bank. Having first reared its ugly head in seventeenth century England, this same phenomenon of Modernism would convulse first France, in 1789, and then spread like wildfire over 19th century Europe. These revolutions have shaped the modern world, and although ostensibly in the name of “the people,†they can be discerned as attempts to empower the merchant on the ruins of throne and altar.'

    OK, I'm back to the present again! The key phrase that I employed above, in order to make the crucial point about the triumph of Modernism and thus the merchant class, was that of 'the ruins of throne and altar', which I confess I slightly plagiarised from Oswald Spengler, who wrote:

    The economic tendency became uppermost in the stealthy form of revolution typical of the century, which is called democracy and demonstrates itself periodically, in revolts by ballot or barricaded on the part of the masses. In England, the Free Trade doctrine of the Manchester School was applied by the trades unions to the form of goods called ‘labour,’ and eventually received theoretical formulation in the Communist Manifesto of Marx and Engels. And so was completed the dethronement of politics by economics, of the State by the counting-house.

    Anyhow, enough of this for the present and on to the important matter of Bedford trucks! I was interested to learn that you'd been stationed in England while serving with the USAF. Mildenhall or Lakenheath perchance? I used to live not far from there. Those trucks were indeed made in the county of Bedfordshire, whose county town is Bedford. I don't think that the Russell family (the Dukes of Bedford, whose 'seat' is at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordhire) had anything to do with their production, however. It is interesting that many people accuse the English aristocracy of being idle because they didn't have jobs. Ha! I know quite a few titled owners of landed estates and I wouldn't swap places with them for all the tea in China. They work far harder than the great majority of conventionally emplyed people.

    John Bedford (the 13th Duke) wrote that his grandfather had told him that it was wrong for someone in their position to take up employment, as it would inevitably cause a conflict of interest, or at best a compromise, between their duty to their estates and their tenantry on the one hand, and their 'job' on the other. As the 11th Duke was such a stickler for tradition therefore, I feel it is most unlikely that he would have allowed hiself to engage in such a venture as manufacturing trucks!

    The attack method was to induce gentry into monetary debts, and then said debts would compound. To discharge the debt obligation, land and real wealth would transfer in what I call the “harvest phase.”

    The synthesis of this period, since it informs our modern world, is perhaps the most important slice of history anywhere and anytime.

    Thanks for your post and I agree with you in principle. However, my point is that the current data from the Sweden’s Ministry of Public health shows clear bell curve declines of ICU and death numbers and declining trends for these numbers .

    Some commentators appear to be saying, not so fast, this is because all the data is not in and once the data is in, the current ICU and death trends will show increases. My answer to this objection is if you are going to make such a claim, you must provide a date in the very near future to look at the data and if the data from the Sweden’s Ministry of Public Health still shows declining death and ICU numbers and trends, you must admit that the death and ICU rates are really declining and stop making excuses for why your assertions are wrong. If you then refuse to admit your assertion has failed , continue to make excuses, or refuse to provide a date when to test your assertion, your assertion is unfalsifiable and no different than any other religious assertion.

    �
    I've followed the daily Swedish data for a while. I can say they do update deaths for the previous days (in some few cases, a week or two), and back-date them or re-date them, but this never creates any change in the way the curve looks.

    I have never seen any major upward revision past about "Reporting Day Minus 3 Days." In other words, expect upward revision for the May 1 update to pull April 28, 29, and 30's death total upward, but not much April 27 and earlier. The only time I think an update changed the nature of the curve was associated with the Easter weekend holiday (April 10-13). Remember that Sweden is open and that Easter weekend is an important holiday; back-dated deaths associated with that period definitely increased later outside the usual window.

    But as for now: The April 30 (afternoon Stockholm time) update represents essentially complete data thru April 26 for deaths and probably through April 27 for ICU intakes. (3-day-avg. deaths for April 24-26 is 50, half the peak period of two weeks earlier.)

    Nature and nature's data is again hugging its beloved bell curves. All indications are there there will be fewer than 25 deaths/day before May 7, on the way back down towards zero and the true "tail end" of the epidemic even measured by the "lagging indicator" of deaths.

    By the way, Swedish ICU capacity has never even come close to hitting its limit during this flu-epidemic.

    When this is over and the dust clears people are going to wonder what the hell happened and why did we wreck our economy for so little justification.

    I've been against the lockdown from the start. Reducing infection rate to prevent system collapse was likely obtainable with masking alone. I'm pretty sure the point of lockdown was to unemploy people who would then beg for a bailout; that bailout would include $.10 for the people, and $1 for Wall Street. Last time Wall Street asked for a bailout people opposed it. Not this time.

    There have been antibody studies all over the world at this point, Iceland, CA, etc. and they’ve found a significant percentage of people have been infected. So you can extrapolate and get a very high total number of infected…..which brings the death rate very low, about equal to the flu.

    New York City has a population of 8.9 million. A random survey of that population found 21% infected, about 1.87 million people. There have officially been 12247 deaths in NYC, maybe more since I looked it up. That's over .6% for an IFR. If you look at the number of dead versus the population, all of whom cannot have been infected yet, 12247 constitutes .14% population death rate, which is much higher than the flu.

    Now, if that happens elsewhere in the USA, we are screwed. Got any ideas why it's so high in NYC? I'd like some reassurance that if this thing gets as many infected in other places that a smaller percentage will die.

    The official death count is a fabrication because any death accompanied by flu-like symptoms is attributed to Corona, and who knows how many deaths can be attributed to the lockdown itself. There is simply no reason to think this thing poses a sufficient threat to the general population to warrant scuttling the economy.

    You're conflating two things there. This thing does not pose a threat to people under 50; it's almost certain that the lockdown will kill more people by suicide from worsened circumstances in that group than the virus will. Since the median age in the USA is 38, more than half the people are locked down for a trifling threat to themselves.

    As to deaths, I've only paid attention to excess mortality as a real count; deaths are deaths, and hard to fake. I give most of the credit to Corona for that. In Europe, you see some extreme spikes, along with a number of countries with no corona death spike at all, in fact they are dying LESS during this time:
    https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

    I think the lockdowns explain the under-dying; hard to die in a car crash when you cannot drive. But the spikes... Sweden has the same but lower spike other countries have. It went down without a lockdown. You cannot prove that the lockdowns were necessary in the forms adopted from those graphs.

    My greatest guilty pleasure is true crime documentaries. One true crime series I have enjoyed is called “Snapped” and is about women (in the USA, and mostly confined to white women) who have murdered their spouses in a planned way.

    I am surprised there have been so many such murders as most of the cases are post-2000 and the series is now in I think its 17th season of say, 12 episodes a season. So plenty of women have killed their husbands in this conscienceless way.

    As I have said, these cases are all first degree, planned murders. Poison, shotguns, faked car crashes, and so on. The number one motive is money (think carefully before you get a life insurance policy), but romance/sex/desire for male attention/desire to be “free” is up there, custody of children too.

    How is this relevant to your comment I have quoted? Well, the show always gives a lot of the killer’s background. They try to emphasize things like “she had a disturbed upbringing” but what in fact I notice is how often (always?) the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. The mother was a wild and uncontrollable teenager who got pregnant to four different men by the age of 21? The daugher grows up and has similar behavior.

    I just mean to say, it is important to look at the parents and grandparents. It isn’t guaranteed of course, but the father was a career criminal who abandoned the mother and child? Then it was not the abandonment that made her a feckless, reckless, untrustworthy and selfish killer. It was her father’s genes.

    The purpose of federalism is the protection of individual liberty, free enterprise, and private property. It is not the protection of states "rights" as states do not have rights.

    To be sure, if a given state enacted a statute protecting the right of an individual to be free from registering with Selective Service, and the federal government sought to overturn that law, then federalism would dictate that the state had the power to rightfully crush the federal government's effort to enslave the state's citizens and the governor of the state would have the power to arrest POTUS and hang him.

  • More than 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Georgia last month were black, CDC study finds

    By: Scripps National
    Posted at 6:08 PM, Apr 30, 2020

    ATLANTA, Ga. – A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights how the black population is being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Research has shown that African Americans are more likely to be infected with the coronavirus and die as a result.

    The CDC and its partners at eight Georgia hospitals conducted a survey of adults who tested positive for the coronavirus and had been admitted in March.

    Among 305 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, the CDC says 83.2% were black. Researchers were surprised by the statistics.

    I know how to spin this! We didn’t put enough black people on ventilators because racism, and then we put too many black people on ventilators because racism. Now we don’t take black people’s endless health issues seriously enough because, well, you know, and also we put too many black people in the hospital and give them too much (free) medical treatment because, um, where was I going with this again?

  • Four weeks ago, we looked at the change in American sentiment towards China from the beginning of March, before the coronavirus shutdown, and again at the end of March, once shelter-in-place had been instituted nearly nationwide. Of mild surprise was the discovery that Americans expressed less hostility towards China after corona came to the US...

    No, the problem is just that Marise Payne is not quite bright enough to get it right. She could and should have (a) ensured general support would be forthcoming from other countries and (b) pitched the initiating of the inquiry as something that China, as the country where the virus seems to have originated, should be asked to organise.

    No doubt the diplomatically unconventional, antitraditional response by the ambassador was prompted by understandable suspicion that Australia had been put up to it by the US. And I'm afraid that the clumsy brigade in Canberra just might have gone along with that. After all our Pentecostal PM, while doing a great job in his first ministerial roles and proving to be a shrewd political campaigner in the 2019 election may, like Payne, just not be a top flight intellect. Indeed I recall a former head of the Treasury complaining about Morrison but when I put it to him that he had done well in his previous portfolios but that now the Peter Principle applied he agreed.

    China’s outbreak is by far the most thorough, real-time, independent investigation occurrence in epidemiological history. Do you recall anything comparable for America’s H1N1 outbreak ten years ago that took 300,000 lives?

    As early as Jan. 30, Dr Bruce Aylward, American head of the WHO International Mission said,

    “In the face of a previously unknown disease, China has taken one of the most ancient approaches for infectious disease control and rolled out probably the most ambitious, and I would say, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history. China took old-fashioned measures, like the national approach to hand-washing, the mask-wearing, the social distancing, the universal temperature monitoring. But then very quickly, as it started to evolve, the response started to change . . . So they refined the strategy as they moved forward, and this is an important aspect as we look to how we might use this going forward. WHO has been here from the start of this crisis, an epidemic, working every single day with the government of China… WHO was here from the beginning and never left. What’s different about this mission is it’s complementing with a lot of other external experts.

  • Reading this article was painful for me. Why painful? Because I have a high regard for Gilad, for his political insight, and his moral integrity. (Not to mention his talents as a musician.) So it’s painful to see him discrediting himself with such an utter load of rubbish as this article. I don’t know how that happened, but it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that he was the victim of a Mossad campaign to feed him misinformation. What better way to neutralize an effective critic and “social influencer” than to trick him (or her) into publishing garbage?

    Gilad makes matters worse by succumbing to the temptation to adopt the “authoritative voice” in speaking of matters on which he clearly is not an authority. It may dilute the impact of what you’re writing to say that “My understanding is that X is ..” rather that the flat pronouncement that “X is..”. The latter is more ego satisfying, and more influential on those who are predisposed to trust your authority. But if you’re wrong and they discover it, you’ve blown your future credibility. You come off looking like a fool, and suddenly everything you’ve written before is open to question.

    This article starts off with a complete botch of what “herd immunity ratio” is. What’s described is, rather, the mortality rate for infected individuals. It has nothing to do with herd immunity, except to the extent that if the mortality rate is truly 100%, herd immunity can never develop. Herd immunity is the percentage of an interacting population (“herd”) that is immune to a specific infectious agent. Immunity can be acquired by surviving the infection, or by successful vaccination. It can also be genetically inherent within some subset of the population.

    Over the course of a disease epidemic, herd immunity will increase naturally, as the more susceptible of those infected die off, while those less susceptible acquire immunity. Herd immunity need not reach 100% for new infections to drop to zero. It only needs to get high enough that the statistical expectation for transmission is less than one. When that condition is reached, the infectious agent runs out of fuel and dies out. The analogy is to a forest fire. It’s not the case that the fire only dies out once every combustible piece of wood has burned. It’s only necessary that the remaining wood be too spread out or too resistant for the fire to continue spreading.

    @ 4 and 7 .. All solutions, and suggestions for change, by the governed thus far <=seem to be variations of the same theme <==modify the behavior of those who operate a sick government, but the sicker the government the more likely it is, that the government operators are suffering the incurable consequence of a GARS virus infection. Once the operators of a government become infected they often express a pathology in the form of GARS (Greed assembled regulatory syndrome). The syndrome seems to block all governed access to the governors. The GARS virus builds impenetrable walls between the governors and the governed people. Governors allow no information out, and the governed are not allowed in, those on the outside are spied on and prosecuted for their crimes, while those on the inside are promoted and protected from prosecution for their crimes.

    In other words, the GARS virus blocks bottom up access to the elected, salaried employees of the government.

    Article VII of the 1787 USA constitution suggest that constitutions become effective when they are ratified. The same clause suggest that ratification is a process, each constitution is obliged to establish, within its body. In other words, any proposed constitution should always include within its body a clause or a set of clauses that make clear the process, manner and outcome effect upon a successful ratification of each successive constitution.

    Proposed constitutions should make clear that ratification of the new constitution terminates the authority and effect of the old constitution and should provide mechanisms, date and time for transfer of the "governmental power" from old to new government. In other words, constitutions define powers the operators can use to govern, authorize (that is, give authority to) those who govern to operate and they are supposed to constrain the power to of operators to constraints defined in the constitution made effective by ratification.

    The Declaration of Independence 1776 says when .. necessary to dissolve .. So the question is what constitutes "necessary" with respect to the transfer of governmental power from one constitution to another? When performance of governments under one constitution indicates the condition has reached necessary<= does that condition define also timing for that dissolution? Certainly the governed have a right to propose, write, and ratify for themselves a new constitution whenever they think it necessary Why<=because the Declaration of Independence says so and because the right of self determination is immutable, unalienable right vested in all of mankind?

    It seems a population governed by constitutionally empowered and constrained government need little more to measure the state of affairs to be"necessary" than is indicated by performance of the existing constitution? If the people cannot fix the performance of their government to acceptable levels by mechanisms provided for within the existing constitution then it is likely the people would conclude it to be necessary to change their constitution. The people can measure any government by its performance and the people can measure the people's ability to modify or change the existing government by the impact of their votes, they people can compare any government to any other government by comparing the performance of one government to all other governments.

    Operating governments measure themselves by GDP and other economic measures, but the governed persons at the bottom, the ones that empower constitutions measure governor performance by the lowest quality of life under the government, by security and risk of unacceptable or diminished quality of life, and by actual threat by government that it would infringe the human rights of the governed. When the performance of the government is substandard, concern is raised, when the methods of an under performing government approach tyranny in shape, form or action, it would seem concern would transform into "action-time, that is it now necessary" and in civilized societies, action involves writing new, different and improved constitutions, and getting those constitutions ratified.

    The 1787 constitution, that overthrew the government that defeated the British (1776-1788) did not invite the ordinary people to help write or to vote on its ratification. Aristocrats, meeting in secret, wrote the 1787 constitution. The result of that secrecy was a constitution that formed a rich man's Republic to govern.
    I suspect if the people had written the constitution that came out of Philadelphia, the constitution would have required the government it authorized to operate only in response to the people it governed (elected persons responding in their governmental acts only to the majority will of the governed).

    I can't image a constitution written by effort of the masses, that would allow the persons who would be appointed or elected to operate the government to conduct government affairs in secret or to spy on the affairs of those they govern, or to do things without getting approval from the governed masses?/

    I once read that Italians were entirely too sensible to take the idea of re-establishing the Roman Empire seriously. Benito Mussolini had terrible geopolitical instincts to enter WWII on the German side. He would have been much better off taking the position that Francisco Franco took and remaining neutral.

    He actually had a wise plan before joining the Axis.

    Their original plan was to rebuild the Roman empire by pushing over easy countries like Ethiopia. They were going to rebuild most of it in Africa and then expand as a world power. He correctly assessed that the Allies wouldn't fight for African countries.

    Though he bet on the Axis it wasn't a decision he took lightly.

    Mussolini probably would not have joined if knew that Hitler was going to invade Poland. The Germans were convinced that the Allies wouldn't defend Poland but the Italians correctly believed it to be too risky. But by then the Italians had already taken sides. Of course they later switched when the cards went the other way.

    But yes Franco ended up looking the wiser. If Hitler had stayed in his borders they would be the dominate power today. A lot of people don't realize they were already the leader in tech before WW2.

    Except you are utterly neglecting to consider that the Allies relied on their colonies for men and material AND that while no military operations were conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Africa. hundreds of thousands of Africans were mobilized for the army of the colonial powers. An even larger number of people had to serve the troops and work for the military. So if Italy would have invaded British and French holdings, those two countries would have assuredly fight to maintain control.

    Not everything is speculation, for instance the purpose of the specific research that was intended to be conducted there.

    Also, you stated as fact something that has not been proven but merely conjectured about with regard to a particular strain of the virus predating its appearance in Wuhan.

    If they were conscientious people, the proper response by the heads of the Wuhan Institute of Virology would have been to decline the contract because the nature of proposed work was potentially too dangerous, too risky, and too controversial to be conducted in a facility located in the midst of a with more than a ten million people. But they were surely more interested in the money than safety. This highlights the inconvenient topic of greed and love of money playing a key role in the modern Chinese psyche – not that they are the only ones with such a predilection.

    A Japanese publication, Nikkei, pointed out today that the laws in China were not yet even in place for them to have been considered a sufficiently reliable lab from that perspective to have accepted the research contract with the US government to conduct the risky research.

    Hey, I get why you'd ask this. But like Simmons I gather you've ever played any puck. The simple answer is that NHL caliber players can place the puck anywhere and at high velocities. So on breakaways or turnovers or any play leading to a situation where the goalie is left alone to fend for himself, the result would almost always be a goal.

    There simply isn't anyone fat enough to take up every inch of the net. And if you could find someone like that, good luck getting them on and off the ice between periods. Additionally, goalies are expected to handle the puck in certain situations like dump ins.

    It would be funny to see it tried though. A staunch, defensively minded team that rarely gives the puck away like the trapping 90s New Jersey Devils teams might be able to make it work. I suspect you're severely underestimating the ability of the morbidly obese to stand up, let alone with vulcanized rubber flying at them. I think more pucks would "squeak" though the fatbody then you'd think too.

    All this is moot however as the team opposing the fat guy goalie would just fire 80-110mph shots at their head until they fled in terror or get carted away. Mobility is vital not just for execution of goalie, but also for safety.

The study recommended the closure of Wuhan’s live-animal markets, but the authors admitted that such actions would meet “public disapproval†(a reference to the Chinese public’s revolt against government attempts to shutter the markets after SARS).

    That’s true.

    But the issue is whether the virus was accidentally released from the Wuhan Biolab. The MSM won’t touch the story and has been actively deplatforming it. But the circumstantial evidence is that:

    (a) According to its own published research, the Wuhan Biolab (Dr. Shi Zhengli), was experimenting with splicing elements of SARS (“S-proteins”) with collected samples of natural bat coronavirus to allow the virus to cross species (Per her 2015 Paper in Nature);

    (b) The Wujan coronavirus gene sequence which was published by a Chinese lab on January 11, 2020, demonstrated it had sequences identical to the documented samples collected by the Chinese for research;

    (c) The bats that host the virus do not exist in Wujan; the “wet market” in Wujan did not sell bats; and contact tracing shows that “patient zero” could not have come from the wet market;

    (d) As soon as these facts came out, the Chinese ordered the samples destroyed and put a gag order on all discussion of the virus or its origin;

    (e) Before the gag order, a high-level Chinese administrator (Xu Bo) and a researcher at the biolab (Chen Qanjiao), revealed that the Chinese themselves suspected the virus had leaked from the biolab.

    (f) A female graduate student who worked at the biolab, Huang Yanling, is suspected of being “patient zero” and having died of the virus. The Chinese deny this and scrubbed her info. But she’s missing and there’s no proof of life.

    This documentary is by the anti-China Epoch Times and has some over-dramatic bits, but it’s still a good summary of the known facts.

    rfr.fr states that "the sixteen-page study [...] was first reported by Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post" and then rfr.fr proceeds lifting sentences form SCMP article. For instance in rfr.fr this sentence

    "Genetic analysis of the samples revealed that the dominant types of viral strains in France belonged to a “clade†or group with a common ancestor that did not come from either China or Italy."

    is taken from from SCMP

    "Researchers in France have carried out genetic analysis and found that the dominant types of the viral strains in the country did not come from China or Italy."

    But one cannot make such an inference from what is said in the original paper.

    There is one important difference between rfr.fr and SCMP. rfr.fr states what you won't find in SCMP

    "However, “current sampling clearly prevents reliable inference for the timing of introduction in France,†making it impossible to go one step further and conclude that the virus existed in France even before it was discovered in China."

    and then reminds us of the political implications of such inference:

    "If this were to be established it would have huge implications, and may feed into the propaganda war between China and the US."

    What should be taken form it is that China seems to be getting better in propaganda war by being on top of things and being able to be the first to make a spin in its favor. China was the first to grab Pasteur Institute's report and make its first public spin with a help of the very talented and capable Mr. Stephen Chen who is SCMP's science and technology guy in Beijing. Please don't tell me that because SCMP is Hong Kong based Mr. Stephen Cheng is not working for China.

    Abstract Following the emergence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China in December 2019, specific COVID-19 surveillance was launched in France on January 10, 2020. Two weeks later, the first three imported cases of COVID-19 into Europe were diagnosed in France. We sequenced 97 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomes from samples collected between January 24 and March 24, 2020 from infected patients in France. Phylogenetic analysis identified several early independent SARS-CoV-2 introductions without local transmission, highlighting the efficacy of the measures taken to prevent virus spread from symptomatic cases. In parallel, our genomic data reveals the later predominant circulation of a major clade in many French regions, and implies local circulation of the virus in undocumented infections prior to the wave of COVID-19 cases. This study emphasizes the importance continuous and geographically broad genomic sequencing and calls for further efforts with inclusion of asymptomatic infections.

    Introduction Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of an outbreak of severe respiratory infections in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (Zhu, Zhang et al. 2020). Although Chinese authorities implemented strict quarantine measures in Wuhan and surrounding areas, this emerging virus has rapidly spread across the globe, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on March 11, 2020. Strengthened surveillance of COVID-19 cases was implemented in France on January 10, 2020, with the objective of identifying imported cases early to prevent secondary transmission in the community, and the National Reference Center for Respiratory Viruses (NRC) hosted at Institut Pasteur identified the first cases in Europe. With the extension of the epidemic, identification of SARS-CoV-2 cases was shared with the NRC associated laboratory in Lyon and then extended to additional first line hospital laboratories, with the NRC at Institut Pasteur focusing on the Northern part of France, including the densely populated capital.

    Screening and sampling for SARS-CoV-2 was targeted towards patients who had symptoms (fever and/or respiratory problems) or had travel history to risk zones of infection. With the spread of the virus, it became clear that clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients vary greatly (Guan, Ni et al. 2020, Onder, Rezza et al. 2020) with a proportion of asymptomatic infections or mild disease cases (Li, Pei et al. 2020). Viral genomics coupled with modern surveillance systems is transforming the way we respond to emerging infectious diseases (Gardy and Loman 2018, Ladner, Grubaugh et al. 2019). Realtime genomic epidemiology data has proven to be useful to reconstruct outbreaks dynamics: from virus identification to understanding the factors contributing towards global spread (Grubaugh, Ladner et al. 2019). Here, we sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes from clinical cases sampled since the beginning of the syndromic surveillance in France. We used the newly generated genomes to investigate the origins of SARS-CoV-2 lineages circulating in Northern France and better understand its spread.

    Discussion We generated complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences from nasopharyngeal or sputum samples addressed to the National Reference Center for Respiratory Viruses at the Institut Pasteur in Paris as part of the ongoing surveillance (Figure 1A). We combined the 97 SARSCoV- 2 genomes from France and 3 from Algeria generated here with 338 sequences published or freely available from the GISAID database, and performed a phylogenetic analysis focusing on the initial introductions and spread of the virus in France. Early introductions do not appear to have resulted in local transmission Our analysis indicates that the quarantine imposed on the initial COVID-19 cases in France appears to have prevented local transmission.

    The first European cases sampled on January 24, 2020 (IDF0372 and IDF0373 from ÃŽle-de-France, described in (Lescure, Bouadma et al. 2020) were direct imports from Hubei, China, and the genomes fall accordingly near the base of the tree, within clade V, according to GISAID nomenclature (Figure 2, Figure 3A). These identical genomes both harbor a V367F (G22661T) mutation in the receptor binding domain of the Spike, not observed in other genomes. Similarly, IDF0515 corresponds to a traveler from Hubei, China. This basal genome falls outside of the three major GISAID proposed clades V, G, and S (Figure 2, Figure 3A), but carries the G11083T mutation associated with putative lineage V1 (Figure 3A, Figure S2), suggesting convergent evolution or more likely a reversion of the Vclade defining G26144T change. Subsequent early cases in the West or East of France (B2334/B2340, clade V and GE1583, clade S), all with recent history of travel to Italy, add to the genomic diversity of viruses from Northern Italy, but also do not appear to have seeded local transmission with the current sampling (Figure 2).

    The current outbreak lineages All other sequences from Northern France fall in clade G (defined by a single non-synonymous mutation, D614G (A23403G) in the Spike, Figure 2), and this includes sequences captured during the steep increase of reported cases in many strongly affected regions (Figure 1). While a more thorough sampling will be needed to confirm this observation, it suggests that, unlike what is observed for many other European countries (Gudbjartsson, Helgason et al. 2020, Zehender, Lai et al. 2020), the French outbreak has been mainly seeded by one or several variants of this clade. This clade can be further classified into lineages, albeit supported again by only 1 to 3 substitutions (putatively named G1, G2, G3, G3a, G3b), and the diversity of the sequence from Northern France is spread out, with most regions represented in the different lineages.

    Several genomes correspond to patients with recent history of travel in Europe (GE3067, N1620, IDF2792), United Arab Emirates (IDF2936), Madagascar (HF1993) or Egypt (B1623, B2330), and might represent additional introductions of the same clade. On the other hand, in lineage G3b, three sequences sampled in Algeria are closely related to French sequences and likely represent exported cases in light of recent history of travel to France. The syndromic surveillance allowed to capture one of the earliest representatives of clade G (HF1463, sampled on February 19th) (Figure 2). Importantly, this sequence carries 2 additional mutations compared to the reconstructed ancestral sequence of this clade (Figure 3B). Other sequences sampled weeks later (IDF2849, GE1973) are more basal to the clade, highlighting the complexity and risk of inferences based on 1 or 2 nucleotide substitutions. Because of this, and the scarcity of early sequences in many countries in Europe, country and within-country level phylogeographic estimations for the origin of clade G are also unreliable with the current dataset. Crucially, while all early symptomatic suspected COVID-19 cases were addressed to the NRC for testing, this was no longer the case as the epidemic developed (Figure 1A). In addition, pauci or asymptomatic cases are scarcely represented here. As the earliest representative of clade G (HF1463) had no history of travel or contact with returning travelers, we can infer that the virus was silently circulating in France in February, a scenario compatible with the large proportion of mild or asymptomatic diseases (Li, Pei et al. 2020), and observations in other European countries.

    Thanks. Yes, probably the best time step is weekly for descriptive purposes, or just wait for corrected figures. I have corrected my figures for Spain a number of times and they also have the weekend effect. I too noted the apparent slowing down of the number of newly infected and the number of deceased in the Swedish data. If the apparent deceleration turns into negative growth rate that would be truly great news because of the relatively more relaxed approach of the Swedes, although as remarked by Dr. Roberts, the Swedes are in fact practicing some form of behavioral containment, though less than her neighbors.

    Total deaths can’t go down (i.e., it can’t have negative growth). The lower bound for the daily percentage increase in total deaths is zero.

    Daily new deaths, on the other hand, can definitely show negative growth – which it has been doing (with the occasional ‘blip’ – 4 days out of the last 14 – into positive territory).

    If you had a portfolio that had daily percentage changes similar to Sweden’s daily new deaths numbers, you would have gone broke in the last 14 days.

    CNN and their ilk are desperate that Sweden’s approach is painted as a failure, because they can see the wall of hurt unfolding for the US’ strategy: 30 million new unemployed in the US in 6 weeks.

    And wait until deaths start being counted for suicides, and for people who haven’t been getting routine treatment for chronic disease during the media hysteria. Those people won’t have an average age of 80 and a healthy life expectancy of zero.

    Almost all the oligarchs are Jewish - courtesy of the World Bank and (((Western))) banks. It is amazing that in a country of allegedly 42 million they cannot find an ethnic Slav to get the job. I do not use the term Ukrainian as it is not really one country.

    Forget the bluster. I suspect they want to bring in Saakashvili because he can bring in more loans from the IMF. His backers are in the USA.

    The delays in reporting are also causing deaths to be undercounted on weekends and overcounted on weekdays as the additional weekend deaths are reported late. For example, 2 deaths were originally counted on Sunday 4/26 even though it is unlikely there were that few. So you don't want to look at just daily midweek or weekend figures.

    This has been going on for quite some time as mentioned in the following article:

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8237015/Sweden-records-just-40-new-coronavirus-deaths-latest-figures.html

    I've been looking at the chart at the English language coronavirus Wikipedia page. It appears the deaths there have been readjusted to be more accurate. It doesn't have the big up and down swings. The daily increases in deaths in percentages for the last 14 days are: 6.6, 4.6, 4.6, 4.5, 4.0, 2.9, 3.3, 3.3, 3.1, 2.0, 2.2, 2.0, 1.4, 1.0.

    No it doesn’t, it shows that the number of new deaths has fallen off a cliff.

    That’s because the ‘daily increases in deaths in percentages‘ is the number of new deaths as a proportion of the prior day’s total; it’s not as a proportion of the prior day’s new deaths.

    If it was the daily %change in the number of new deaths, then a series of positive numbers would show that deaths per day was still going up, albeit at a declining rate.

    That is not what’s happening: here is what new deaths per day looks like in daily percentage-change terms.

    Everyone who fell for the ZOMFG!! EXPERNENSHUL!!! nonsense, are sufficiently innumerate that they can’t calculate doubling time from Δln(X) in their heads.

     • a 6.6% daily growth rate – if it persists – doubles deaths every 10 days (~1.5 weeks).

     • a 1% daily growth rate – if it persists – doubles deaths every 70 days (~10 weeks).

    This is what happens when the process (which is a logistic function, not a ZOMFG!! EXPERNENSHUL!! function) gets past its second knee.

    Two weeks ago, there were 112 deaths; the day before yesterday there were 26. Yesterday’s number was only 9 (but will be revised upwards, as data becomes more complete).

    Most hospitals in Michigan are petitioning Adolf Whitmer to allow for some elective procedures, as many are looking at bankruptcy. 3 counties in Michigan make up 75% of C19 cases and deaths.

    Well, it's a huge relief to have my faith in the ignorance and stupidity of the American public now restored.

    People are so gullible that they'll believe any nonsense they get from TV, radio, or its current Social Media equivalents.

    America's ruling elites are shrewd enough to work hard to cover all the different ideological venues. For example, I was just talking a few days ago with an elderly relative who's been a committed left-liberal her entire life and had regarded Donald Trump as the greatest calamity to befall our country.

    Naturally, she gets her knowledge of the world from NPR, and apparently they've been playing up the "China Bad" theme pretty heavily lately, and she's therefore completely swung around. For the last few years, she'd regarded Russia and Putin as the centers of world evil, but now China is starting to join them.

    But the major problem with propaganda is that it doesn't necessarily impact reality, and the people who produce it often drink too heavily of their own product.

    And it is the people (media) pushing Corona-as-Ebola and terrifying people are literally the ones responsible for bodies piling up, if not immediately (in some cases even immediately, as NYC and UK have shown spikes in corona-negative deaths that seem to outnumber corona-positive deaths by 2x, maybe 3x), then in coming months and years.

    I literally just logged in here to ask the question that you are dealing with here.

    Guidelines are good. They are imperfect but, alas, it is a fallen world and everyone is damned if they do and damned if they don't. Guidelines however are supposed to advise us regarding our best chances.

    It is now clear to everyone that coronavirus only kills people who are about to die anyway. Perhaps however it does shoeten their lifespan by up to 3 years.

    Perhaps.

    But assuming it does, it's A Good Thing to stay away from people with serious medical conditions when you are sick. If we get a law mandating that people with any sort of communicable illness stay home or risk getting a ticket I'm cool with that.

    Is that the sum total of what we need?

    Can EVERYONE go and do as they please and simply stay away from grandpa if ill, like we've always been doing?

    We've been told that "if you mingle while well you are (unwittingly spreading the disease and) murdering people".

    Pretty much in those words.

    Is there any evidence for that?

    Half of the deaths attributed to coronavirus are of people in nursing homes. Most of whom it now appears died due to neglect and bad treatment that was brought on by The Panic (as mentioned in an earlier comment I have some knowledge about nursing home residents and their needs).

    I am coming around to believe that social distancing is not just bad but deadly and that it has caused more deaths than the virus has.

    I'm not in the right country to do so but if I were, I would very seriously consider visiting my elderly grandfather. I am fairly confident that if this virus is pernicious at all, it is not perniciously communicable from people who aren't themselves sick.

    As much as most rich and bored people wished it were so, this is not The Plague and avoiding it does more damage than ignoring it.

    Living standards, OTOH, would go up, were the US to become an economically self-sufficient nation again.
    �
    I'm not convinced. There are plenty of arguments against globalisation but the economic arguments are rather weak. It's horrible to admit this but I think that overall, in material terms, we may well be better off with globalisation.

    Economic self-sufficiency may just mean a manufacturing sector that will need bailouts on a regular basis. It will be a manufacturing sector with the taxpayer footing the bill (not very libertarian). Achieving economic self-sufficiency will require a degree of economic central planning (very communistic). The consumer and the taxpayer will get screwed while a few billionaires will be making out like bandits. Basically a way of siphoning taxpayers' money into corporate pockets.

    Australia used to be surprisingly self-sufficient in terms of manufacturing. What that meant in practice is that we had a very limited very crappy range of ludicrously overpriced consumer goods to choose from. Now Australians have been effectively banned from the global marketplace (thanks to government interference in free trade and free consumer choice) so we're back to having a very limited very crappy range of ludicrously overpriced consumer goods to choose from.

    Even if you look at the US was manufacturing ever efficient? The US auto industry thrived while it had no competition. Once it faced competition American consumers realised that for decades Detroit had been selling them cars that were over-priced unreliable junk.

    Economic self-sufficiency really only makes sense if you're intending to fight a war. Otherwise it's likely to be costly and futile. Plus, it's socialism.

    That is not entirely true. A lot of automotive firsts came out of America long before there was any significant auto imports especially pre-WWII. The problem was that the companies were no longer run by car guys but by finance guys who think cost cutting and “economies of scale” were the most important issue. The lack of competition just made it easier to continue with those policies.

    Good piece of work Dr. Giraldi. A few things about this case of the Kadars. Basically Israel refused to cooperate with the FBI at the beginning and resisted giving up the kid. Furthermore, the FBI was told to "back off" by higher ups in the agency and let Israel handle it. So the results are what you would expect with a false flag.

    The anthrax case still has legs. Bruce Irvins was the microbiologist at Detrick you are referring to. He was never charged and they never proved he was involved and the FBI could not place him in any of the spots they wanted. He had some issues and the FBI gang banged him looking for a patsy. Dr. Hatfill was the "original" Person of Interest whom the Jewish controlled media followed around and they ruined his life. He sued the FBI and won a lot of money.

    The FBI appeared to intentionally mess up the anthrax samples. Reviews by the National Academy of Science rocked the idiots at the FBI and they concluded Irvins was not involved. The real kicker to all of this is that the FBI leader of the investigation was Robert Mueller! The same Mueller who spent almost 3 years chasing Russian spies well knowing that it was lie.

    This Fall, I turned to the Web to see what I could learn about the presence of silica and iron in preparations of anthrax spores. I found that small amounts of silica are often found and that trace amounts of iron are, of course, essential parts of some bacterial enzymes. However, the amounts of those elements found in the mailed envelopes of concentrated spores vastly exceeded normal levels.

    A simple Google search turned up an entry within the first page or two that pointed to the Mossad-operated IIBR. Yes, that’s the lab in which Michael Kadar’s mother, Tamar, worked on chemical warfare.

    Silica magnetic particles are little spheres of silica with a core of iron. The silica makes the particles stick to the spores and the iron then allows the spores to be concentrated by a magnetic field.

    Soon after this paper was published, the leadership of the FBI investigation was changed, and attention, instead of being focused on Israel, as it should now have been, became focused on Bruce Ivins.

    It is difficult to believe that neither the FBI nor the National Academy Committee saw this Israeli article, but neither report mentions it.

    People are being thrown out of work, and eventually their homes in all likelihood, for no good reason.

    Was it contrived? Not entirely, but in part for sure. People with access to power have had a "seat at the table" from the beginning. I don't think anyone believes they've acted out of purely altruistic motives.

    Very difficult to discuss Hitler in any context without the phycological parameters. He was a delusional psychopath. End of story. Who cares about his table talk or anything else he discusses as historically significant.

The world was sick of the third reich as it stood for nothing other then racial dominance. Nothing. Anti intellectual anti everything important in the world. Hitler would never have succeeded in world domination an impossible reality. So how was he going to reconcile defeat. He wasn't he was delusional. It all meant something to him no one else, if his country could have taken him down at the end and surrendered in a way that left Germany in tack they would have.

    Maybe but that is scarcely the point. Hitlers intellect or his feelings about Jews is irrelevant to the primary point, that Hitler was a delusional psychopath. It was all about him and is omnipotence nothing to do with Germany. He wanted to conquer the world for his own glory, like Alexander, and Caesar.

    Whatever the real complaints Hitler made about Versailles, the Jews, communism, and the need for German expansionism that led to his rise to power, was not ultimately what the Third Reich was about. When the generals at the Russian front wanted to retreat he ordered them to stay and die. Germans were frozen and starving and he threatened to shoot anyone that left the field.
    Hitler stood for nothing life enhancing nothing. Killing gypsies, and babies with defects. Look at the world now, sheltering to protect the most vulnerable in our population from Covid. The Third Reich was anti intellectual, anti creative. The Germans were the worst bullies ever.

    Hitler was a psychopath, a black hole. Even if he had won and conquered the world it would have all came tumbling down. Power built on non life sustaining ideas burn up in flames. Hitler died a coward and betrayed his country for future generations.

    Hitler reminds me of the wicked witch of the west in The Wizard of Oz. You throw water on him and he melts into the ground.

    Hi anon 230.

    Sheet 1, the number of infections per day has dropped from 744 to 169

    Sheet 2, the number of deaths per day has dropped from 17 to 4
    �
    You understand that there is a delay in reporting right? For instance the number of newly infected in April 29th that you quoted as 744 has gone up to 774 in the same table you quote, and to 790 according to thelocal.se after attending to a press conference by the Health Minister Lena Hallengren and Public Health Agency director Johan Carlson.

    The number of newly infected you quoted for April 30th (169) is incomplete. April 30th is today. You can understand this right?

    Also, the number of CoVid-19 deceased on April 30th in Sweden so far is 124, not 4 as you say while carried away by your juvenile enthusiasm. This is also in the report by The Local after attending the presser by Minister Hallengren and Director Carlson. The Local stresses that the number of deceased in April 30th may further increase because of reporting delays.

    Why not look at the Swedish Health Ministry data? Why rely on media reports?

    According to the Swedish Health Ministry, there has not been 100 deaths on any day since April 16th; the total deaths are 2,586 – which, oddly, is also the total number of covid19 deaths reported on various news sites (e.g., SVT) who also claim the ‘124 in the last 24 hours‘ number.

    Det är en ökning med 124 personer det senaste dygnet. (SVT: 124-nya-dodsfall-totalt-2-586 [124 new deaths: total 2,586])

    and

    124 nya dödsfall i covid-19

    Translated:

    This is an increase of 124 people over the past day.

    and

    124 new covid19 deaths

    Those sentences are constructed – deliberately – to imply that 124 people died in the last 24 hours.

    What actually happened was that the total number of deaths reported went up as a result of data adjustments.

    Those people are still dead, and are certainly part of the overall toll from covid19 in Sweden. It’s a shame for their families.that they’re dead, but they did not die in the 24 hours before 10:15pm on April 30th.

    I pretty much agree about the dubiousness of "representative government". In my local area, it's been common knowledge that the Mafia, to cite just one institution, could put up candidates beholden to it, bribe officeholders, intimidate witnesses in public hearings and criminal proceedings conducted by duly elected officials, the whole enchilada of private, and in this case criminal interest, enjoying the cover of "democratic" legitimacy.

    A134, thanks. I've known plenty of Italian- and Sicilian-Americans who quietly confess to strangers their revulsion with the defects of their traditional culture, which mostly amounts to deference to the Mob, or to those who have adopted Mob-type behaviors in their business practices. You can see that revulsion in some of the Italian TV productions broadcast in the USA.

    There's currently a local corruption trial involving a former mayor who'd been a high school teacher, a property developer who'd somehow got his hooks into water department revenues with the help of pliant city counsels, and a political fixer who encouraged the property developer to "make [Mr. B] happy" with a $25,000 cash bribe. All, except for Mr. B, are Italian-American.

    Italian-Americans have made enormous contributions to America. Enrico Fermi, and massive numbers of Italians in skilled trades, construction, the arts, and all that.

    Still, it may be worth wondering if the benefits of importing Italians with all their massive culture-specific baggage outweigh the costs.

The second category are the beta males that have to embrace feminism in the West in an effort to get laid.

    2. Are the ingredients that go into food of the most strictly excellent quality while restaurant dining is nothing special because the locals only do the most boring things possible with those ingredients?

    3. Does the air quality in the city drop noticeably in winter because residents of "the city"(pop. 1.5 million) in large part heat their homes with wood fired stoves?

    4. Do densely populated areas still manage to feel overwhelmingly rural while walking through the canyons bounded by uniformly 10-12 floor apartment towers?

There’s a lot set in WWII or the Depression, but the USA from 40-41 is an odd but interesting transitional period.

    I don’t think the movie can be described as Jewish propaganda at all. Most of the adult Jewish characters are portrayed negatively: cowards, hotheads, closed-minded, nerdy dweebs, pretty criminals, political grifters. And Mrs Lindburgh gets a well rounded and positive treatment.

    https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2018/02/04/e-michael-jones-on-jews-and-usury-part-2/

    Here is an excerpt, but click on the link for more. I find it a little disturbing that people are not jew wise.

    _________________

    Another fascinating topic Jones covers concerns the relationship between landed English gentry and Jewish moneylenders. “Stated in its simplest terms, the Jewish Problem involved the inverse relationship between debt and political sovereignty†(1079). This antagonism toward growing Jewish power was common among the British aristocracy as well as politicians. For example, in 1891 Labour Leader, a socialist newspaper, denounced the money-lending Rothschild family as a

    blood-sucking crew [which] has been the main cause of untold mischief and misery in Europe during the present century, and has piled up prodigious wealth chiefly through fomenting wars between the States which ought never to have quarreled. Wherever there is trouble in Europe, wherever rumors of war circulate and men’s minds are distraught with fear of change and calamity, you may be sure that a hook-nosed Rothschild is at his games somewhere near the region of the disturbance. (1081)

    An exemplar of this which fell into the clutches of Jewish moneylenders was the extended Churchill family. Randolph, born in 1849, grew up in an era in which “spectacular bankruptcies†would plague aristocrats for much of the century. Much of this suffering was, of course, brought on by shameless profligacy among landed aristocrats, and Jones offers the Churchills as an exemplar of the blight. “In every generation, among his [Winston’s] relatives, there were too many debts, too much gambling, too much drinking.†Informed opinion was that “there was an above-average amount of infidelity, divorce, erratic behavior, sexual scandal, social ostracism, and court disfavor.†Randolph — and in turn Winston — were very much in this mold and fell straight into the hands of Jewish moneylenders, with profound consequences for Britain and all of Christendom when Winston became an influential politician advocating war with Germany.

    As far back as 1874, the Churchill family was forced to sell wide swaths of land along with livestock to Baron Rothschild in order to settle a serious debt. Randolph, who had grown up amidst rich Jews with opulent tastes, made the mistake of thinking that he could indulge such a lifestyle without the necessary funds to back it. What he didn’t understand was that “he was on the wrong side of compound interest and they [his Jewish friends] on the right

    In a debt money system, old debts are paid by new debts.

    After WW2, private debts had been canceled or paid down by public spending on war and via Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

    By the mid 1960's the debt cycle was petering out, and the economy needed new debt slaves.

    Debt Free women were induced to enter into the workforce. Jewry was simultaneously issuing propaganda and spreading liberal nostrums.

    Your right, the practical and mundane consideration was due to price increases as a function of debt claims. Two income families is because of usury hidden in prices making prices go high and destroying one income families.

    The average woman, and many men are simple minded, and can be ensnared with platitudes. Evolution did not select women for guarding frontiers and being defenders of civilization.

    Allowing usury and debt mechanics (and Jews) into our white Patriarchy is our (white men) fault.

    You are simply a cork in the sea, bobbing on waves you cannot comprehend, and have lapped up feminist nostrums.

    Today, a speculative bubble of debt is being fueled by scab labor in the form of third world immigration.

    The Jew is our biggest problem, while simple minded white women are being used as tools and agents against their best interests. Go ride that cock carousel....you go girrrrl.

    Women in the 60's and 70's entering the workforce were scab labor and new debtors. Clown world has many authors, but mostly it is the malformed money system.

    Your right, the practical and mundane consideration was due to price increases as a function of debt claims. Two income families is because of usury hidden in prices making prices go high and destroying one income families.

    The economics of this is above my pay grade, but ultimately the question isn’t where the low-income family came from, but whether it is good or bad, and what changes, if any, need to be made.

    (BTW, I’m inclined to be sympathetic to the idea of social credit.)

    Evolution did not select women for guarding frontiers and being defenders of civilization.

    I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

    What does the dread “cock carousel” have to do with women’s right to participate in aid employment. Are you suggesting that women shouldn’t be able to support themselves if they so choose so that men can control our sex lives?

    If so, that’s an awfully roundabout way to go about it, dontcha think? Wouldn’t an old-fashioned prohibition on fornication serve the purpose? Yes, men would also be liable to punishment under such a law, so there would be no double standard. Them’s the breaks. Deal with it.

    You say that you agree with the "social credit system."

    I doubt that you actually understand what that entails. It means that you no longer have any freedom and that you live under tyranny, and that your every move will be recorded and processed.

    We already have some aspects of the SCS operating here by way of the small hat control of social media and banking.

    The small hats WANT to transition into a China-like SCS with FR cameras everywhere....so if you criticize the jewish controlled government you get fired from your job.

    It's insane.

    If you understand what the SCS is and you still approve of it, then you're truly an idiot.

    The economic necessity of the two income family is a disaster for everyone concerned, and especially harmful to kids. The jews engineered this disaster by way of outsourcing jobs and production, importing foreign labor, and brainwashing women like yourself with stupid feminism.

    What the small hats did to women is tragic. They fixed it so that women are dependent on the state. They rewarded single moms and bastard children. They wrecked the family structure by attacking the white male "patriarchy."

    Their goal was to curtail white family formation and they succeeded wildly.

    Whites are totally fucked.

    I don't blame women. I blame the jews.

    But white women's disloyalty is a sad fact as well.
