An excuse to implement medical martial law ...

In the midst of the swine flu hype, an episode of The Corbett Report did a podcast on medical martial law.

Governments world round have been passing legislation enabling them to implement martial law in the event of a global pandemic.

In the US specifically, this legislation took the form of The Model State Emergency Health Power Act.

This piece of legislation was drafted by the Center for Disease Creation (CDC).
  • This act grants government the power to quarantine, force vaccinate, and mobilize the military to help implement emergency procedures as deemed necessary to contain the outbreak.
  • It is designed to be forwarded in each state legislature so that the states could harmonize their emergency pandemic plans, essentially creating a federal system enabling medical martial law.
As the ACLU notes:
"The Act lets a governor declare a state of emergency unilaterally and without judicial oversight, fails to provide modern due process procedures for quarantine and other emergency powers, it lacks adequate compensation for seizure of assets, and contains no checks on the power to order forced treatment and vaccination."
Regardless, at last count the act has been the basis for 133 pieces of legislation in 33 different states.

Citizens of the developed, Western world are about to get a taste of this bitter medicine on the back of the coronavirus hype.

The plan grants the government the power to cancel public events, force people to work from home, close childcare centers and otherwise impose mandates and restrictions on the daily lives of its citizens as it sees fit.

Now Britain, the US, and other countries are dusting off their own emergency plans and preparing to get in on the martial law bonanza.

This is not only the perfectly predictable response to the current outbreak hype, it was the predicted response.

The high-level exercise dubbed Event 201 held last October which simulated a global coronavirus pandemic featured extensive discussion about the need to implement medical martial law in order to bring the virus in check.

Stephen Redd of the CDC opining during the exercise that "governments need to be willing to do things that are out of their historical perspective [sic] . . . It's really a war footing that we need to be on."

Brad Connett of medical supply manufacturer Henry Schein Inc declared that "it can happen quickly. A martial [law]-type plan--they may not say that, exactly--but a martial [law]-type plan can go into effect and stimulate change very quickly."

It certainly can. And what room do you believe the governments that implement martial law are going to leave for dissent on the issue?

But how are they going to stop the spread of information in this age of 24/7 always-connected social media?

An excuse to crack down on the internet ...

It's quite possible that coronavirus will be the convenient excuse for governments to flex their internet censorship muscles.

As alternative information about the virus, its origins, and the vaccines that are intended to "cure it" flood the net, a propaganda campaign unlike any we have seen before will be waged to portray the purveyors of this information as a threat to public order.

They will be purged from the internet accordingly, with (no doubt) the approval of a large proportion of the population.

And with that precedent set, it will only be a matter of time before any information that challenges the ruling power is deemed a "threat to public order" and wiped from the internet.

Lest there be any doubt that the online purge is an aspect of the pandemic scenario that is particularly important to TPTSB (powers that shouldn't be) it should be noted that Event 201 dwelled extensively on how to "stop the spread of misinformation."

Their answer: Internet shutdowns and censorship, of course!

Precipitating economic crisis ...

Given that the virus is now 'allegedly a pandemic', it is quite likely that this will be the largest economic disruption of our lifetime.

We just saw the worst week in the markets since the financial crisis, including the worst two day point drop in Dow Jones history.

As mass quarantines expand, public events are canceled, businesses are shuttered, and economic activity generally grinds to a halt, it doesn't take a genius to deduce that we are in for a global economic crisis of nearly unthinkable proportions.

The mass quarantines started in China, a.k.a. the most important link in the global just-in-time supply chain.

we are going to see significant difficulties for many manufacturers producing basic consumer goods in the very near future.

Smartphones. Cars. Even, in a perverse bit of irony, medical supplies.

So much of the global economy that depends on Chinese manufacturing is already experiencing shutdowns and shortages.

And this is only the razor thin edge of what promises to be a gigantic wedge.

Here's the worst part: These disruptions are already baked into the cake.

Even if everyone on the planet was suddenly cured of their disease overnight and all quarantines were lifted, the effects of even a few weeks of lockdowns and closures would continue to ripple their way through the global economy for months.

But as the fear and hype spreads from continent to continent and the mass disruptions expand, these effects will get worse and worse.

The economic effects of this event are going to be very real and very profound.

The Ponzi scheme that is the modern global economy will collapse and the long-predicted global financial crisis will hit.

It's very possible that the crisis has now officially hit and the decades of pie-in-the-sky negative-interest-rate helicopter-funny-money insanity that has papered over our grim economic reality is about to come crashing down all at once.

More parahrasing and quotes from The Corbett Report
 
As you can see I am 'thoroughly' reviewing this episode of The Corbett Report.

Coronavirus panic is a giant boost for the globalist agenda ...

It might be suggested that this eventuated global pandemic will set the globalist agenda back by decades.

An event like this will surely teach us all a hard lesson in national self-sufficiency and the inherent danger of an overextended, just-in-time global supply chain, right?

That's the conclusion that a rational person thinking about the crisis in a rational way would come to.

The globalists are going to force feed us the exact opposite idea:

That a crisis like this will demonstrate how we need even more global integration of all levels of public and private society.

Just read the press release that Johns Hopkins and the Event 201 participants put out last month just before "Wuhan" and "coronavirus" became topics of daily conversation:
"The next severe pandemic will not only cause great illness and loss of life but could also trigger major cascading economic and societal consequences that could contribute greatly to global impact and suffering. Efforts to prevent such consequences or respond to them as they unfold will require unprecedented levels of collaboration between governments, international organizations, and the private sector."

Alright ... I'll give it a rest (for a while).

On a more personal note ... Garry has been advised that he is not allowed to leave the country without permission from his employer and if he does ... even a 2 hour drive to Thief River Falls which we often do ... he will be required to stay away from work for 2 weeks.
 
To me there's something obviously wrong with that theory and that is that this will affect the 1% financially....and we all know they dont like to lose big money.
 
I do wonder why this appears to be targeting the elderly so my own wonderment in this scenario is the seniors flu shot which now has 4 times the antgens within it. So I once again want to ask @ChemGal. Can we produce a super bug or mutations from too much antigens in the senior flu shot....and increase shedding?
This flu shot was developed due to the ineffectiveness of the past flu shot.

The flu shot is not a live vaccine, so there is no shedding from it.
 
They rely on trade and consumers.
Warren Buffett once described fear and greed as diseases that infect investors.

As the novel coronavirus rampages across the world and ravages stock markets, investors are quoting the billionaire investor.

"Occasional outbreaks of those two super-contagious diseases, fear and greed, will forever occur in the investment community," the Berkshire Hathaway CEO wrote in his 1986 letter to shareholders.

"The timing of these epidemics will be unpredictable," he continued. "And the market aberrations produced by them will be equally unpredictable, both as to duration and degree."

"Therefore, we never try to anticipate the arrival or departure of either disease," Buffett added. "Our goal is more modest: We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful."

Buffett doubled down on his stance in a CNBC interview this week, arguing long-term investors should be thrilled by the current selloff as it presents an opportunity to buy shares in quality businesses at a discount.

"That's good for us actually, we're a net buyer of stocks over time," he commented on share prices dropping.

Thanks for this , Carolla........

In Oz, folks are going to get every cold tested for this coronavirus - and it's clogging up the system unnecessarily. This list makes the differences so much clearer.

“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.

Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?

We’ll keep the world posted and updated.

Take care of yourselves!”

No, the DNA or RNA has no method to be replicated.
Good, I'm wrong.
Tonight was sort of funny, when I went into Shoppers drug mart to pick up paper towels, the cleaning isle was filled with people exchanging theories about the cause of the virus....high on the list was an evil attempt at population control and another was a release of the virus from the Wuhan disease control centre. Interesting conversations out there.
 
I've had several discussions today (Wednesday) about it. "Everybody's talking about it". Some say it's overreaction, but nearly everybody is a little "paranoid" at the same time. Fear and confusion...if it was a conspiracy to control the public, that's exactly what they'd need to do, ironically (or not so ironically considering the time we're in at the moment? It's hard to know...but looking at Italy, it does feel like a big social experiment to see how much people will succumb to authoritarianism, in my opinion. It's an efficient way to stop protests. I guess whether that's the case or not will become clearer if this drags on and we witness before our own eyes what the real health toll on most people is vs the hype.)

Somebody at work had a cold and their doctor refused to see them. They've been at work after a week off, and still have the dregs of it. They worked a different shift from me. I worked afternoon/evening, they worked morning/ daytime.

Lysol wipes were brought in today and we were instructed to clean our computers and desks before and after leaving (instead of the usual alcohol and cotton pads). They're splurging for Lysol wipes...must be serious. ;)
I actually believe there's more to this than public health. It feels like a "fire drill" of sorts. But I can't prove it...just...China, Italy...and Trump. It "feels" like there's more to it. Again, I have no proof and will only know if the virus does behave much differently than bad flus, when it gets here. If it appears to be about the same and moving through seniors homes and immunocomprimised people - putting them at greater risk of death (as viruses normally do) - but everyone else just gets a mild-ish case that passes - and if things get more and more strict - I think people will start to get restless and wonder what kind of bulls**t is this? But if it is much different then the skeptical will eat their words. We just don't know yet...and that makes everyone a bit fearful (again, which creates a perfect storm...but I digress).

I have to ask...why does this seem to be more of a panic than SARS and MERS and h1N1 (remember "swine flu"? it started with deaths of younger adults in Mexico and that was odd)? I do not recall near this much fearful hype though. Again, I remember concern, but not this reaction from governments. Why? Anyone else feel the same?

Over 200,000 died from H1N1 between 2009-10, for perspective. Why is this so much different? I think, maybe, it's healthy to wonder not just accept that this is worse?

80% of h1n1-09 deaths were people under 65. (But COVID-19 deaths are mostly in people over 80, and it has about 200% more panic and stringent government reactions for some reason.)

"The death toll skews old even more strongly. Overall, China CDC found, 2.3% of confirmed cases died. But the fatality rate was 14.8% in people 80 or older, likely reflecting the presence of other diseases, a weaker immune system, or simply worse overall health. By contrast, the fatality rate was 1.3% in 50-somethings, 0.4% in 40-somethings, and 0.2% in people 10 to 39."
 
I was at Costco yesterday. First, while I was sitting at the take out place, I wondered why they had all the cashier lanes that weren’t used barricaded with shopping carts. Then inside, there was no toilet paper at the usual place. ( junior was on his last roll, so I really needed some). Then, once I came to the lineup, there was a small pile of Kirkland’s. Overall, the store was not busy at all and people seemed to be just buying their normal amount of stuff ( I was there at 6 pm). Corona has not hit NS yet. But- one employee was disinfecting all the shopping cart handles and one employee was disinfecting the food area constantly, including those touch screens to order.

Mine always does that. They don't have gates to close them like the grocery stores often do.
