NZ “Experts”: Don’t Panic
February 28th, 2020Via: New Zealand Herald:
People are panic-buying water, sanitiser and other essentials, causing lengthy queues at many supermarkets after confirmation of the first coronavirus case in New Zealand. But experts are urging calm, and say there is no need for panic.
Queues were out the door at at least one Pak’nSave this morning and shelves were being cleared out, following similar lengthy queues at many Auckland supermarkets last night.
One shopper said it was as if people were “stocking up for the apocalypse”.

33 Turkish Soldiers Killed by Airstrike in Northwestern Syria
February 28th, 2020Via: CBS:
Turkey on Friday raised the death toll from a Syrian government airstrike on its forces in northwestern Syria the previous night to 33 Turkish troops, the highest number of Turkish soldiers killed in a single day since Ankara first intervened in the Syrian conflict in 2016.
The deaths, which came in an attack late Thursday, were a serious escalation in the direct conflict between Turkish and Russia-backed Syrian forces that has been waged since early February. The earlier reported death toll was 29 troops.

Hillary Clinton Took More Cash from Harvey Weinstein Than Any Other Democrat
February 27th, 2020Via: New York Post:
Hillary Clinton raked in more cash from convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein than any other politician despite brushing off his donations by claiming he gave money to “every” Democrat.
Federal Election Commission filings show the disgraced movie mogul bundled $1.4 million for Clinton during her presidential bid in 2016 and handed her another $73,390 dating back to her 1999 New York Senate run.
On Tuesday, the former first lady defended her long relationship with the sex creep, quickly deflecting scrutiny from reporters by noting that Weinstein also raised funds for Barack Obama, John Kerry and Al Gore during their presidential bids.

Starlink: The Air Force And SpaceX Are Teaming Up For A ‘Massive’ Live Fire Exercise
February 27th, 2020Remember the one about better broadband Internet options for rural customers? haha
Via: The Drive:
As space continues to play an increasingly important role for the United States armed forces, the Department of Defense has been also increasingly engaging with the private aerospace and communications sector to develop and implement solutions that better help it confront emerging warfighting challenges. Just last week, Air Force acquisition chief William Roper told reporters at the Pentagon that the Air Force and SpaceX will conduct an event on April 8, together with other branches of the U.S. military, that will see SpaceX Starlink satellites link up with multiple armed forces systems in a “massive” live fire exercise.
“SpaceX has been a great industry partner for us,” Roper said. “They are very excited and we are excited to learn more about their satellites through the demonstration.”
The demonstration will reportedly involve shooting down a drone and a cruise missile and will take place at several different sites including Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The massive tests will also include ground forces, submarines, ships, and a variety of space-based assets.

Coronavirus Outbreak a Hoax?
February 27th, 2020Why not? The published numbers could easily be completely fabricated or related to other illnesses.
Jon Rappoport has been talking about social engineering around health issues for decades, and the coronavirus situation is no different: How to stage a fake epidemic (and brainwash billions of people).
Let’s assume, for a moment, that it’s real. How severe is it? I definitely don’t know, but guesses range from mild symptoms to China deploying dozens of mobile incinerators to vaporize thousands of corpses per day.
The supply chain disruption, however, is happening, at least to some extent. Again, how severe is it? The guesses range from slightly lower availability of iPhones to TEOTWAWKI.
With virtually no solid information about the origin, severity or even a diagnosis of Covid-19, I laugh at the hair on fire crazy talk about vaccine development for… What exactly?
Thanks, but no.
In summary:
We can’t be sure who has Covid-19 and who doesn’t because the PCR testing process for Covid-19 is worse than a joke. Not enough test kits, faulty test kits, inaccurate results. In fact, better go with CT imaging. What are the CT scans actually showing?
*shrug shoulders*
Must Read: Are Coronavirus Tests Accurate?
Many factors are likely to confound the real number of those who have contracted or died from SARS-CoV-2. The inclusion of clinically diagnosed cases of COVID-19 may further muddle the issue. Professor Paul Hunter of the University of East Anglia told Science Media Centre that previously suspected cases of the illness are now considered confirmed cases even though some may be caused by illnesses other than COVID-19. Translation: Clinical diagnosis may lead to overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis in some cases.
If any novel disease actually exists, there’s no reliable way, at the moment, to test for it. Covid-19 can spread without symptoms, we’re told. Most people experience mild symptoms… with the potential to suddenly drop dead.
In other words, crank it!
My advice:
1) Be ready to self isolate for a month, minimum. Not so much because of this coronavirus episode, but in general.
2) Before you let anyone come at you with a needle, reflect carefully on the fact that what passes for diagnosis of Covid-19 looks like it was devised by Bozo the Clown.
