Never a planet ending meteor when you really need one.
The cheeriest, kinda goofiest story I’ve seen today is the one about projecting the crude oil producers paying their clients to take the oil away for lack of storage capacity. Shazaaaam. Like to see the Trump admin get a piece of that action.
Well, that and on the flipside, the growing desperation of the Iranian mullah ruling class, all up and acting like they’re goners already. Marg bar Khamenei.
Feels like we’ve fallen into a black hole already …
Here is a big picture subject — the elephant in the room that few are recognizing.
Mexico
Mexico is not practicing social distancing. In fact that nation is not discouraging large crowds at all. Fiestas are going on, including a recent one in Mexico City that had over 100,000 in the crowd.
We shall see the result in about two weeks. It may be like “hug a Chinese” Italy.
P.S. The French public appears to be ignoring the government recommendations on social distancing as well.
tune in to Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News tonight @ 7:00 PM and listen to the first 15 minutes
He reports the timeline of Chinese Communist Party attempts to hide the Wuhan Flu in December.
It is only by luck that the genome of that disease was sequenced and released to the world.
Later on, you can find out what the CDC had spent its budget on.
To SDFerr (4:49pm)– I seem to recall that at one of the pressers over the weekend PDJT stated that he had ordered (Executive Order?) the Energy dept to add to the strategic oil reserve to take advantage of our production surplus. I don’t recall if he said this increased it, or just brought it back up to what it should be. Again, I could have heard wrong…
I think I heard DJT say he wants the strategic reserve filled up, giving me the impression he thinks it is low now. However, were it full, it may pay off to find more capacity to my way of thinking.

“And yet somehow the media continue to treat these two buffoons as serious people. Did anyone at the debate push back even slightly on this subject, to the extent of asking what is the proposed replacement for the fossil fuels and how would it work and what would it cost? Absolutely not.”
One of the many of New York City’s most venerated performance institutions shuttered due to New York’s mass gathering restrictions due to coronavirus concerns, the Metropolitan Opera will offer another way for its patrons to take in its performances.
Starting Monday, The Met will stream a title from its award-winning “Live in HD” series each night through the duration of its scheduled closure — currently through March 31.
Originally captured as live broadcasts in movie theaters worldwide, the performances will begin at 7:30 on the company’s website.
The featured performances, along with others, were already available via the Met Opera on Demand subscription service.
I have some opera fans in my extended family who always go to the movie-theater screenings, so this will be very welcome to them.
If your tastes don’t run to opera, there’s always Netflix.
And if you think the virus is messing up your life, just think about the effect on the beleaguered Royals!
Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have canceled their May wedding reception in the gardens of Buckingham Palace and are in wait-and-see mode regarding the ceremony itself, according to the royal family.
The Princess, 31, and Mapelli Mozzi, 37, are scheduled to wed May 29.
“The couple will carefully consider government advice before deciding whether a private marriage might take place amongst a small group of family and friends,” Buckingham Palace said in an official statement.
I hang on every word of a royal official statement.
The greatest problem is that trust is so eroded that you don’t know who or what “facts” to trust. Since civilization is based on trust, it is like someone has thrown acid on the cables holding up the Golden Gate bridge. It looks like nothing has changed, but sooner or later the cables fail, and the bridge falls.
Lies and corruption are the great danger, they erode trust.
We thought we could trust China to sell us medicine.
We thought we could trust the CDC to protect us from epidemics.
We thought we could trust the news.
We thought we could trust the FIB.
We thought we could trust the CIA.
When will the bridge fail?
Most companies in Slovakia have their own Foundation. Why? Because everybody who files income tax, including companies, can set aside 2% of the tax they pay to go to any non-profit org or Foundation. I’ve often donated to the Hayek Foundation and Konzervatívny inštitút M. R. Štefánika.
I think it would be good in Slovakia to increase the personal limit to 10%, and decrease the company limit to 1% – too many companies use their foundation to promote events that are essentially marketing events. But it’s a very good idea to let more people allocate more of their money to solve the problems they think are most pressing.
I’d prefer even more increases in allowing tax-paying voters to decide more directly on budget issues. This is a step towards more Direct Democracy, and it’s likely a better way to restrain and reduce politician power than even a “balanced budget amendment”, tho I also have long supported such an amendment.
This is now a coordinated attack against the financial systems of the west
The point is not thinking so – as long as you dont think so, you do not react as if its what it is, the numbers of those dying and sick are not high enough to warrant what is going on, but are high enough to keep people not thinking differently
If you thought the US may fall by some nuclear conflict, that would have been too damaging to the interests involved… destroying the economic capitalist system as a whole, was and would be a more prudent goal…
california is thinking martial law..
note that all this is for a death toll currently BELOW the flu
ie. 150 dead vs 20,000 dead (in US)

Are there people who really thought this?
When the rationing begins, I sure hope that among the supplies are hard drugs for the addicts. Because I have a lot of ice and speed freaks in my neighborhood, and I do not look forward to a week or two after their dealers run out.
If you bought stock yesterday or a few days ago, enjoy cashing your 10-20% out now. Heh.
The bigger view is that the Divine Plan is nearing completion and humanity is ready to be tested for graduation/promotion into the next Age. Finally. That means it will get darker before the dawn appears, but it also means the dark entities are panicking and trying to hit as many doomsday switches as they can, to bring Earth back under the dark factions as a client state.
Why exactly do we care that 26,000 years ago, there were some fluctuations in the output of a black hole?
Richard – Joe Biden was there when it happened.

I have often thought how nice it would be if the government quit funding things like PBS, NPR, and all of the optional things we fund with out taxes (and I even like cowboy poets!), that are much more appropriately sponsored by individuals and corporations.

In Slovakia, the Eset company’s Foundation is setting up some money for increased testing. (Other news in English from Slovakia is available, tho often only the first two paragraphs before a paywall. They say their coronavirus coverage will be free.)
