  …From a fellow in S. Africa where a lockdown has been recently implemented:

Although I am not an economist or a social scientist, I have practiced the craft of intelligence for several years. My job is to connect the dots.


Here goes:


1. During the Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s, the Japanese used its bio weapons of shingella and the plague against the Chinese.


This was not the first time that China had experienced the effects of bio weapons.


The British had used opium to great effect during the 1860s. Not a bio weapon specifically, but certainly a weapon of mass disruption which created more than 20 million addicts at the time.


2. After WW2, China started its industrialisation programme.


They also started a bio defence programme.


In 1985, they signed an international bio weapons treaty, confirming that they were now a fully-fledged manufacturer of bio weapons.


The Chinese insisted that such production was for defence purposes, although their programme was spread across more than 50 centres throughout the country.


3. In the 1990s, Chinese weapons sales took a dive because the Gulf War had demonstrated the superiority of US weaponry and technology. The Chinese looked at other weapons to fill the gap.


4. Soon, the Chinese started exporting their bio weapons technology to Iran and other pariah States in the Middle East.


5. In 2003, a coronavirus outbreak named SARS occurred in a province in Southern China.


A vaccine was found and the spread of the disease was controlled. The incident looks remarkably like a test case.


6. In 2005, following the Second Gulf War, genuine Intelligence reports indicated that China had transferred bio weapons technology to Iran and continued to do so until at least 2010.


7. In 2013, a coronavirus outbreak named MERS occurred in Iran, although the first case was recorded in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.


The disease was lethal and the true number of deaths was not released.


Interestingly, no figures about the rate of infection were broadcast to the world population.


Another controlled test case?


8. In 2019, a coronavirus outbreak named COVID occurred in another province in China.


The locations of both coronavirus outbreaks in China (2003 and 2019) were in places that had bio weapons labs called Institutes of Virology.


Apparently, the head of the Institute in Wuhan had spent a decade at the University of North Carolina studying the coronavirus.


9. The spread of COVID-19 in China was contained with a loss of life similar to the number of US deaths on 9/11.


Initially, reported infection rates were high, although no Victim X was ever identified.


Meanwhile, the rest of the world has followed the similar protocol of lock down (Wuhan has a population of 11 million) but extended it countrywide.


The economies of some of these countries are fragile and upheld largely by cheap Chinese imports.


Think of this as using Rohyphnol on a victim before raping them.


10. Consider that there are three types of warfare: conventional, asymmetrical and CBRN.


The Chinese could not take on the US using the first two and lacked the Chemical, Radiological and Nuclear (CRN) capabilities of the third option.


But it had the Biological capabilities.


Therefore, a reasonable conclusion is that China is waging a war against other economies using a weapon of mass disruption.


By understanding this, we can do more than wash our hands of the problem.


Next steps...


1. Send Chinese American intelligence agents back to China to find the smoking gun- proving intent.


2. Hostile takeover of all US firms with more than 20% Chinese equity.


3. Replace Chinese manufacturers with a beneficiation programme in Africa.


The continent has the land, the resources and a cost-effective community based workforce. Many local managers are English or French speaking.


4. Create a robust supply chain within Africa with shipments by sea and air to all points of the globe, except China.


5. Isolate China diplomatically and cancel all trade agreements. Force the country into isolation.


6. Repurpose a flu vaccine to restore public confidence, even if a placebo.


In other words, the US should retaliate economically and social media to be used to encourage people to stop panicking.


No one wants a population of beggars reaching out with really clean hands.


Keep safe, Sanitize and Weaponise."

Bruce ‘the Poor Man’

Your 2020 Stimulus Check: How Much? When? And Other Questions Answered


People have a lot of questions about the economic stimulus checks that will be mailed soon. We have answers.


The checks, which are nontaxable, will be based on 2019 tax returns if they’ve already been filed (though the deadline has been delayed to July 15), and for those who have yet to send in their returns, 2018 figures. The checks are based on all income, which means retirees, Social Security and those who claim other benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income, are eligible. The government can use a beneficiary’s Social Security statements to calculate the check amount if a person did not file taxes — and send the check based on the information on file, according to AARP.

Fear is the Enemy, Creating a last minute food stash

Fear is the Enemy, Creating a last minute food stash…

No matter the epidemic, one thing remains the same:

Fear of the virus spreads faster and almost always makes things worse.

We’re already seeing panic all over the United States.

Worse, we also have a perfect storm of misinformation.

There are still many unknowns. If unchecked, however, some experts are saying, the novel coronavirus could infect 60 to 80% of the population.

(Even with a 1% mortality rate, that’s an absolute disaster.)

Gabriel Leung, a professor, epidemiologist, and chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University is among them.

“Is 60-80% of the world’s population going to get infected? Maybe not. Maybe this will come in waves. Maybe the virus is going to attenuate its lethality because it certainly doesn’t help if it kills everybody in its path, because it will get killed as well.”

But Hong Kong, Leung has warned, which has a mounting number of confirmed cases, is rearing up for a disaster.

What’s needed to stave off total catastrophe?

“You need extra trust, extra sense of solidarity, extra sense of goodwill, all of which have been completely used up – every last drop in that social capital fuel tank has been exhausted after now eight months of social unrest, so it couldn’t have come at a worse time.”

Several reports suggest COVID-19 can live on surfaces for over a week. 

Everyone is talking about why you should “wash your hands” frequently…

But if you’re going right back to touching your nasty, bacteria-ridden phone…

What’s the point?

We’ve never had a pandemic with smartphones. And that’s a problem. Because they’re disgusting.

Problem is, alcohol wipes and disinfectant can do a number on that expensive pocket computer.

UV-C light has been shown effective in killing coronavirus(Just don’t try to sanitize your skin with it, please.)

I’ve recently purchased a Phone Soap device for my household.

(See: Why UV-C?)

Want to be extra paranoid?

Disinfect your mail & packages, cash, keys, and credit cards.


UV-C wands are one way of doing it.

2] Stay informed. Think locally.

The WHO recently sent a team to China to suss out the dangers. For what it’s worth, here’s what they found.

On top of cutting out any unnecessary travel…

There are several resources for staying informed about any potential spread in your local area.

Better than Zuckbook:

Nextdoor, the location-based social media website, is a great way to stay plugged into your area… and even start your own coronavirus preparedness forum.

(Nextdoor.com)

Another one that might grow legs is called Sneeze Map, a way for people to contribute whether they’re healthy, or whether they’ve come into contact with sick people.

More resources will probably pop up.

3] Prep that immunity.

I spoke with a local osteopath and he sent out a list of what he’s doing to prepare.

Don’t take this as gospel.

DISCLAIMER*: Take it for what it’s worth… do your own research… consult other health professionals… and stay safe.

Stockpiling enough food to keep you and your family alive for a long time can be very challenging. Think about it: However much you spend on your weekly shopping trip is how much a week’s worth of emergency food could cost. And that’s just one week.

 There’s a reason certain foods have remained so popular among preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long shelf-life, they’re filling, and they’re good for you. These foods will always make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. (Sorry, salad lovers.)

 In this article, we’re going to take a look at the fifteen most popular survival foods and talk about why they’re so popular. If you’re preparing for a disaster, consider getting every one of these...

Finding water in the wilderness is actually pretty straightforward.

Because of the breakdown of education and the extraction of our founding principles from American classrooms, young people – tomorrow’s leaders – believe the bold lie that government is the solution to any economic problem.

If we want to preserve the America we know and love, we need to stop the lie—immediately. And the best way to counter this lie is to share the truth.

That’s why the team at The Heritage Foundation put together an exclusive e-booklet called

Americans Must Repay Relief Checks, Bug-In Questions, More!

Americans Must Repay Relief Checks, Bug-In Questions, More!

NBC News recently reported that global supply chains are running lean because of the almost total shutdown of all activities in China. China supplies much of the world's packaging materials, paper products, pharmaceutical components and most of the merchandise sitting on store shelves.

From NBC:

If production isn't restarted soon, the bottlenecks could lead to some bare shelves at brick-and-mortar retailers by mid-April, with stores such as Target and Walmart at the greatest risk, (Wells Fargo analyst Edward) Kelly wrote.

Supply chain disruptions and shortages have the potential to hit retailers such as Best Buy, Michaels and Wayfair in the near future, considering that 60 percent to 70 percent of their inventory comes from China.

Even Costco, BJ's Wholesale Club and Kroger could see issues because of China's role in packaging materials and basic paper products.

Retailers have started to look to shift production from China to other parts of Asia, but they are hitting snags because many raw materials come from China.

Store shelves in Italy were stripped bare within a matter of hours after the outbreak began to spread there and talk began of quarantines. People in China and Hong Kong are likewise finding it difficult to find supplies.

But panic-buying is not restricted to other countries. Shoppers in Hawaii were sending out photos of bare store shelves to friends even as President Donald Trump was trying to assure Americans that the U.S. had the issue well in hand.

It'd be a strong bet that not more than 10 percent of our readers could live more than a few days on their stored food and supplies.

Storing food is something that we have to do before we need it. Think now, if the Coronavirus becomes a widespread pandemic and you needed to begin using your stored food, where would you be?

Do you have more than a couple of days supply on hand? If not, you could be in big trouble. Because once the catastrophe occurs it's too late to begin storing food.

Americans are used to having plenty of food. Most can't imagine not being able to go to the store to get food of some sort. But the typical grocery store has about two day's supply of food in stock at any given time. So, just a short-term interruption in the supply chain could cause hardship and panic among the populace.

It truly takes vision to understand that there could come a time when the supply of food suddenly ends — whether for a few days or for a long period of time — and planning for the future is essential, especially now.

I have long urged you to store food. We've been storing food and urging our readers to do so for many years. We rotate and eat out of it, except for the vacuum sealed foods with 25-year shelf life that we bought.

Now to the point: In my opinion, even if the Coronavirus is a short-lived "crisis," we now face more than a probability of much higher prices, scarcity and resulting social problems in the coming years. Our society is fractured politically and economically and on the brink of civil war. A spark or Black Swann event of some kind could spark a conflagration.

Can we not imagine that an honest man will steal and even plunder if he and his family are hungry?

Agriculture is one of the very few sectors globally that currently faces supply shortages. There is the distinct possibility that this century will see desperate struggles for food and water.

Rising food prices will cause extreme hunger and famine. This will lead to social unrest, revolution and wars.

Does anyone doubt that the regime in the United States will cause extreme hardship because of the collapsing exchange value (inflation) of paper money? Note that they do not warn the people to protect themselves.

Have you ever really been hungry? It is far better to have stored food on hand — even if you have excess food stored — and not ever need it than not to have any food stored and one day be hungry. Food storage may not guarantee that you won't be hungry, but not storing food will almost certainly guarantee there will be hunger in your future.

It's a good idea to have at least three day's supply of canned and/or dried foods available for each member of the family in case of emergency. That would be nine meals each.

Of course, more is better. But we recommend this as a starting point. From there you can add a little more each time you go shopping, setting your sights on having enough for each family member for a week, then two and so on.

It's also a good idea to store water for emergency situations. Minimum requirements are two gallons per person per day — more if you live in a warmer climate.

Be smart with your planning and purchasing and you can accumulate food that will sustain you for a long time at very little cost. Just don't gather things your family will not eat. Oatmeal, Ramen noodles and Bisquick are great things to have on hand in an emergency, and they don't cost much. And, don't forget to add commonly used spices, which help to make any food more palatable.

Freeze-dried foods and military style Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) are convenient types of foods to have on hand for emergencies. These are available from outdoor supply stores, survivalist stores and via the Internet. There are various types of MREs that can be purchased in kits with quantities to feed families for up to a year.

Warehouse stores like Sam’s Club and Costco sell freeze-dried emergency food kits in plastic buckets, although reports were Costco had sold out their supply. Online sellers seem to be running out as well, demonstrating the need to plan ahead.

You can still find them in some places, but prices are not what they were a few weeks ago when you do find them.

When buying these pre-packaged meal kits, be sure you compare the packages for a list of meals and ingredients included before making your purchase. Some tend to scrimp on their offerings and provide just enough to survive but not enough for a hearty, filling meal.

If you want to learn more about what foods to store and how to prepare for a crisis situation you can order a free copy of our book, How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization. It covers practical, low-cost strategies for coping with global epidemics, terrorist attacks, electrical grid disruptions, food and water storage and much more.

Yours for the truth,

Direct payments to Americans are a key component of the historic $2 trillion coronavirus relief deal announced Wednesday.

The one-time payments are designed to help cover expenses for people experiencing financial setbacks due to the pandemic and the government’s efforts to prevent its spread.

“Struggling Americans are going to go to their mailboxes and find four-figure checks to help with their bills,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.

Here are five questions and answers about the relief checks.

The COVID19 dashboard at Johns Hopkins University Medical School actively tracks the progress of the disease by country and region. It has shown a decline or decrease in some areas of the world, but most areas continue to show increases, including the United States.

 There are also many unknown factors, particularly in the U.S. where testing has just now started in earnest due to continued delay in the development of test kits.

 Various countries have taken steps from advisory to draconian to contain the spread of COVID19. All of the steps have been an effort to diminish person to person contact to prevent the spread of the disease. It’s come to be known as social distancing...
