Housekeeping

 

Running an eye over content (cripes sake, more unintelligible 20th century jargon?) has gone apace, consuming the three years prior.  Everything, I mean everything, can be improved. Forever. Depending on my mood or airs. Lucidity. That, too.

Otherwise, I view what posts have been viewed and edit on the fly; for content, layout, and, larger type. Better late than never, its less embarrassing that way. Plausible deniability.

I still intend, eventually, to learn how to write haikai. The skill of fitting Mississippi, or say refrigerator, into a poem, with panache, still eludes me though.

Continuing to add links in haikai, asymmetry and news items I find of interest; 

Some links, like Japanese Storytelling at Bedtime, don't work. I keep it for sentimental reasons. Another is a blog of a woman I fell for, hard - through correspondence. More than an infatuation, I loved her for her mind, and mentorship, her courage. We two were the only bloggers in existence who listed The Westerner as a favorite movie. That's how we met. I remember it well; we spoke about our affection for dogs, actually ,,,

She made her keep as a writer. She wrote like a dream, in fact, with nuance, knowledge and gorgeous phrasings. Resourceful as she was intelligent, she could submit on any subject - she'd knock it down for a few dollars more, reliant on the quality of her craft, even professing to be an authority in different careers. Just enough detail to support a suggestion, say, as example, she was a microbiologist. Fifty cents a word, and never dyed a pathogen to identify under a microscope, putting her in league with institutions such as the CDC.

For that deft deception I adored her, even more so for her dry wit and like me, a solitary manner. By coincidence, both of us were of Norwegian descent, attuned to that taciturn insight inherent of our ancestry despite living a continent apart. You see, we never met in person, yet I affectionately called her Swede.

Fool that I am, I ended up alienating her. Facebook, that platform of division, was involved, of that I'm certain. Resentment of her superior talent, perhaps, I'd reverted to mansplaining that Hillary Clinton was the chosen one to advance the USA's greatest deception; The Rumsfeld/Cebrowski doctrine, intending all the world's inhabitants to be its vassals.
 

Unable to persuade her, in a pathetic, Minnesota Nice/passive aggressive gesture I called her Mrs. Parker.  I'd crossed the line. For that petty indiscretion by my own hand, I had become the un-friend. .

 What mysterious impulse could have forced it? The hour, the season, the ill conceived perfection of a social media apparatus honing its behavioral modification savvy to serve a darker agenda?

There may be a waka poem or two in these pages, also. The feeling's there, the pattern, the partner ... I'll not tell for fear of my in-hesitant heart.

Most remaining rubbish is the result of my sloth and neglect. I beg your pardon.

Unless, I might want to balance a section - I've overlooked tsuri-dōrō until now - or a region, by adding Nikkei Asia today. It seems as indifferent a journal, thus objective, as Interfax or Swiss Policy Research may be. 

One recent Nikkei lead informed of the opening of the first NATO liaison office in Asia next year, in the country of Japan. The report said NATO and Japan will take more steps to increase cooperation by signing an agreement known as an Individually Tailored Partnership Programme ahead of the NATO summit that will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in June. Japan also plans to open an independent mission to NATO, separate from the Embassy in Belgium.

Will the black ships sail once again, I wonder? 

Oh, look, I've misspelled liaison.

Bill Gates, HR6666, Remdesivir, Deaths in Italy

Jon Rappaport May 12, 2020 https://nomorefakenews.com/

Each of these subjects deserves its own article. Bill Gates would require a library of thick volumes. I don’t have the time to write separate pieces, since I’m also busy with other research on the fake pandemic.
So I’ll hit the highlights.

BILL GATES: Here, from FAIR, the long-standing media-watch group, is a September 4, 2016, article, “This Guardian piece touting Bill Gates’ education investment brought to you by Bill Gates.” It adds a layer of explanation about Gates’ Death Star:
“The Gates Foundation gives grants in the hundreds of thousands and often millions to such media organizations as NBCUniversal, Al Jazeera, BBC, Viacom (CBS) and Participant Media (the producer of pro-charter school documentary Waiting for Superman). Both Gates and the Gates Foundation are sizable shareholders in Comcast, which is the primary investor in Buzzfeed and Vox, as well the parent corporation of MSNBC and NBC News—the latter of which teamed up with Gates and other noted education experts like Exxon and University of Phoenix Online for the week-long charter school commercial ‘Education Week’.”
“In 2009, the New York Times reported that the Gates Foundation was partnering with media companies to write and shape stories to ‘embed’ messages in primetime dramas:”
“’It [the Gates Foundation] is less well known as a behind-the-scenes influencer of public attitudes toward these issues by helping to shape story lines and insert messages into popular entertainment like the television shows ER, Law & Order: SVU and Private Practice. The foundation’s messages on HIV prevention, surgical safety AND THE SPREAD OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES have found their way into these shows.” [CAPS are mine]
“His enormous wealth and the reach of media parent corporations seem to exempt Gates from routine disclosure requirements. He was offered up as an education expert in the pro-charter Waiting for Superman, without any mention of the fact that he donated at least $2 million to the film and had a media partnership with its distributor, Viacom. He is given softball interviews in Comcast-backed Vox without disclosure that he’s a major Comcast investor. Because his stake in media companies is laundered enough times, it’s assumed not to merit mention.”
“In the case of the Guardian, Gates effectively owns an entire vertical, so when one of his investments is written up, one doesn’t notice the conflict of interest—like a fish doesn’t notice water. Because his influence is everywhere, it appears to be nowhere.”

HR6666: This aptly numbered bill is moving forward in the US House Energy and Commerce Committee. Titled TRACE, “Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone,” it officially embeds the snitch culture—with benefits for new agents of the State:
“To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.”
“The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID–19, to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts…”
HR6666 funds this enterprise to the tune of “$100,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2020; and such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal year 2021 and any subsequent fiscal year during which the emergency period continues.”
Why don’t they simply advertise: “Have you always wanted to run around like a little fascist, targeting the unwary, the sheep, the outliers, the rebels, the dissenters? Here’s your chance. The State will pay you to do it. Who knows? Maybe the government will design a uniform for you, embroidered with the logo of a skull or a virus with spikes.”

REMDESIVIR: This is the Fauci COVID drug. He wants the antiviral to hit the market yesterday. At the Alliance for Human Research and Protection (ahrp.org), an article points to the fraud:
“Fauci’s Promotional Hype Catapults Gilead’s Remdesivir”: “[On 4/29], Gilead [the manufacturer of remdesivir] issued a press release announcing that it ‘was aware of positive data emerging from [a] National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) study’.” [Gilead provided assistance on study design and conduct to NIAID.]
“Based on the ‘positive data’ from the NIAID study, the Food and Drug Administration approved emergency use of remdesivir against COVID-19 on May 1.”
“…Dr. Anthony Fauci, who heads the President’s Coronavirus Task Force, and heads the NIAID, since 1984, has a vested interest in remdesivir. He sponsored the [NIAID] clinical trial whose detailed results have not been peer-reviewed. What’s more, [on May 1] HE declared the tenuous results to be ‘highly significant,’ and pronounced remdesivir to be the new ‘standard of care.’”
“Dr. Fauci made the promotional pronouncement while sitting on a couch in the White House, without providing a detailed news release; without a briefing at a medical meeting or in a scientific journal – as is the norm and practice, to allow scientists and researchers to review the data.”
“What Dr. Fauci failed to disclose to the public in his promotional pronouncement was that the [list of] primary outcomes [measures for success or failure] of the [NAID] study [NCT04280705] were changed on April 16, 2020. Changes in the Primary Outcome are posted on Clinical Trials.gov.”
“Changing primary outcomes [measures] after a study has commenced is considered dubious and suspicious.”
“Reuters News reported that highly respected prominent leaders in the medical community — such as Steven Nissen, MD, the chief academic officer at the Cleveland Clinic and Eric Topol, MD, director and founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California – were unimpressed by remdesivir’s tentative, modest benefit at best.”
“…the NIAID-Gilead study results have not been published in peer-reviewed literature – nor have details of the findings been disclosed. However, they were publicly promoted by the head of the federal agency that conducted the study, from the White House. What better free advertisement?”
So…take this admittedly toxic drug. Convincing data? No need. Just trust Fauci. Like other drugs of its type, remdesivir inhibits the machinery of cell-reproduction in the body.

DEATHS IN ITALY: I have reported on this con in the past. Italy’s own National Institute of Health has been combing through the records of patients who have died. Their average age? 79.5. And the overwhelming percentage of these people were already suffering from multiple, long-term, serious health conditions—and had certainly been treated with a number of toxic medical drugs. Claiming their deaths stemmed from the purported COVID-19 virus would be absurd.
Add to these facts the horrendous air pollution in areas of Northern Italy. Toxic air can easily explain the lung conditions attributed to the virus.
In recent years, the annual number of flu cases in Italy averages roughly five million. It’s a simple matter to label some of these people COVID-19.
I’ve also indicated that vaccination campaigns could account for destruction of health in Northern Italy. I have a few possible clues in that regard.
Colorado Naturopathic Doctor, Michael Murray writes: “Could a new flu vaccine be partly responsible for the COVID-19 mortality rate in Italy?…My colleague, Dr. Alex Vazquez, provided me with a valuable insight. In September 2019, Italy rolled out an entirely new type of influenza vaccine. This vaccine called VIQCC is different than others. Most available influenza vaccines are produced in embryonated chicken eggs. VIQCC, however, is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs and has more of a ‘boost’ to the immune system as a result. VIQCC also contains four types of viruses – 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses…”
Well-known Italian writer, Br. Alexis Bugnolo, states: “Italians are still trying to understand why Bergamo, of all the cities of Italy, is the epicenter of the Coronavirus epidemic…”
“One factor may be that the city was vaccinated en mass not once, but twice, in the 2 months preceding the Coronavirus outbreak in the city.”
In the fall [2019], according to records 141,000 doses of vaccine against the winter flu were administered by the local health board. Of those, 129,000 were Italians over 65 years of age. Of those, 129,000, 70% had grave heart problems.”
“Then, again, in December, from the 24th through to January, there was a mass vaccination program against Hepatitis-C of 21,331 citizens of Bergamo. And in the surrounding province, another 12,000 citizens.”
At doctorsinitaly.com: “In September 2019 was made available for the first time in Italy a ‘cell-based’ flu shot, called VIQCC or QIVc, that is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs.”
“VIQCC is a quadrivalent flu vaccine that contains 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses. It is approved for people ages 9 and older.”
ANY vaccines given to people whose immune systems are already weakened—such as the elderly and infirm—are automatically dangerous and life-threatening at a high level. Two vaccines within the space of a few months, one of which has added new viral material and/or a variety of new cellular and genetic debris—plus the usual toxic chemicals—and you have a potential recipe for disaster.

A New Reality: Pandemic-Induced Layoffs May Be Permanent

A new report from the University of Chicago found that pandemic-induced layoffs will result in permanent job loss, which shreds the Wall Street narrative of how many of these lost jobs will return once lockdowns are lifted. As if the Wall Street consensus has a damn clue about the job situation in the back half of the year.

The U.S. economy lost 20.5 million jobs in April, and the unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%. Optimism on Wall Street last Friday ramped stocks higher as Wall Street cheered more than 18 million of those jobs lost were considered temporary reductions and were likely to come back once restrictions were lifted quickly.



However, a recent working paper from the school's Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics discovered there were only three new hires for every ten layoffs caused by virus-related shutdowns. The authors — Jose Maria Barrero, Nick Bloom, and Steven J. Davis estimated that 42% of the layoffs seen over the last several months would result in permanent job loss:

Drawing on our survey evidence and historical evidence of how layoffs relate to recalls, we estimate that 42 percent of recent pandemic-induced layoffs will result in permanent job loss. If the pandemic and partial economic shutdown linger for many months, or if pandemics with serious health consequences and high mortality rates become a recurring phenomenon, there will be profound, long-term consequences for the reallocation of jobs, workers, and capital across firms and locations," the authors wrote.

The report went on to say that virus-related shutdowns have devastated the U.S. economy with nearly 28 million people filed for new claims for unemployment benefits over the six weeks ending April 25. It said at an annualized rate, the U.S. economy is expected to contract 4.8% in 1Q20 and 25% in 2Q20.

So are they saying that Federal and State employees will also suffer a 42% PERMANENT layoff, as well?

Maybe, when tax revenues collapse, how are you going to fund your payroll?

Easy, just raise taxes.

"This is not an apocalyptic fiction, but the reality in which we are now living. This development is based exclusively on two sources of information. According to Professor Neil Ferguson in the European Union and the United Kingdom and Professor Anthony Fauci in the United States, the Covid-19 epidemic is expected to kill a total of at least 55 million people worldwide. 

So far there have been 170,000, more than 300 times fewer. "
