“There’s something happenin’ here. What it is ain’t exactly clear.” – Not trying to raise alarm here, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that there may be some larger agenda taking place in our society behind the scenes that has not yet risen to the surface.
The government’s response to the China Virus, so oversized when compared to its responses to H1N1 and other previous virial plagues, indicates that either we are not being told the entire truth about this current virus, or that something else is driving this train.
The manner in which the national media worked in overdrive during February to create a national panic cannot be discounted as a motivator of the government’s decision to literally shut down 75% of the U.S. economy in an unprecedented attempt to control the spread. But does that really explain it all? The destruction of wealth we have witnessed in just the past few weeks is astonishing, as millions have lost jobs and businesses and seen their retirement funds decimated.
If this was, as we were initially told, just a two-week effort to control the spread, then a quick recovery might be in the offing. But as this past week progressed, the estimates of timelines began to extend as the measures by state and federal governments became more draconian. The states of California, New York and Illinois are either now or will soon be 100% shelter in place mode with people allowed outside their homes for only a few exceptions. More states will no doubt follow within days.
Policing these shelter-in-place orders will require the activation of state National Guard units, and we can see the Administration already making plans to acquiesce to pressure from various governors – like New York’s Andrew Cuomo – to activate Army units to assist.
Certainly, the justification for such measures of trying to avoid overwhelming our hospitals and medical supplies/equipment is a reasonable objective. But if we create a 25% unemployment rate and skyrocketing poverty and homelessness in the process, thousands more Americans will die in the coming months not from the Chinese Flu, but from inability to feed themselves or obtain proper medical care.
If we had seen this kind of government reaction to the H1N1 outbreak in 2009/10, when Barack Obama waited until 60,000 were infected and over 1,000 dead before really doing much of anything, then all of this would be understandable. But obviously, we did not see that then, in part because the lapdog media never questioned anything Saint Barack ever did or said.
As much as I like and trust President Trump to protect the American people above all else, there can be no denying at this point that we are literally turning our country into a police state and destroying a massive slice of our economy in order to limit the spread of this virus. We are told that this is all temporary, but how temporary it all is just keeps becoming less and less temporary with every passing day.
Something bigger is in play here. What it is ain’t exactly clear, yet, but we will know soon enough. Again, this is not to raise alarm – I can think of several potential scenarios that would actually be positive developments in the long run.
Be careful. Be safe. Protect your loved ones. Pay careful attention to what the President is telling you and no attention at all to CNN or the New York Times.
That is all.
The Deep State has activated “Insurance Policy 2.0”.
Three letters: TDS
Shelter in place does not include a grocery store, there is nothing to enforce.
Insurance policy that gives the USA “Gropin Joe” ain’t gonna work.
Another GREAT one. Thanks. BUMP!
Needed: A self-disciplined militia needed to get together with OUR sons and daughters, nieces and nephews...in other words OUR armed forces in case SHTF by POLITICOS & PROPAGANDISTS foreign and domestic. Just in case.

Thanks Chief.
"There's a man with gun over there..."
So, is America being played?
South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore have all basically beaten this virus with none of the draconian measures of Italy or America.
The Diamond Princess cruise ship... basically a floating petri dish of old people...had about a 20% infection rate and seven deaths (all elderly) out of 3,700 passengers.
A death rate not even on par with the flu.
That's the $64 dollar question.
This thing may be so bad "they" don't want to really tell us and really scare us. Recall reports of bodies being cremated in China. I really don't trust any reports of the Chicoms.
Now, if it really isn't any worse than H1N1.....what's the driver?
Trump doesn't seem to be the dictator type we'd see in Bammy or Barry or Shillary. I really think their response would be far more damaging to the country long term than this response.
We're not being told something about this thing for a reason.
What is the end game for all of this? Why induce the hysteria and panic?
So far the results haven't justified the draconian implementation of these restrictions.
Once again, when one gives up one's freedom for safety, then it isn't long that one doesn't have either freedom or safety.
“Not trying to raise alarm here...”
That’s a good one!
China is driving this train
Whether this virus was found in the wild from a bat
OR released from some sort of Bioweapons lab
The Chinese response to it was criminal negligent at best or an act of war at worse.
China is driving this train
Our media is owned by China
And yes, it is designed to get Trump out of office.
I live stream it daily (or watch it on YouTube later) and then I shut the TV off for the rest of the day. All the rest of the mindless chatter on the news channels is just noise.
I had a very pleasant experience grocery shopping this morning in Southern Connecticut. Trucks were lining up for the loading docks and employees had boxes stacked up in all aisles, with a massive re-stocking operation in progress. Even TP was available. Further, the employees and customers were all cheerful and making the best of the situation.
It was good to see that our supply chain remains strong - thanks in large part to all the truckers on the roads.
I do not agree with the "shut-down" that the states (all Democrat run) are putting in place, including here in CT, but when this is all over, I have no doubt that America will bounce back stronger than ever.
Why induce the hysteria and panic?
China is just trying to get maximum bang out of its “bioweapon” so it has its media (fake news) create and spread the fear and panic.
Its clear now that is exactly what is going on
Remember this is to get rid of President Trump at all costs
Philippines locked down.
XLNT Point,
Thanks.
So how do we shut up the treacherous media? The panic is the product of media disinformation and negative naybobbery designed to effect the crash of the American economy. Who is the author of this push and how do we the people defeat this insidious evil? There is an underlying reason for this ‘marshall law’ campaign. Where is this sheeple herding aimed to arrive? A vaccine with an accompanying ‘info dot in the skin is planned for our near future. Guess where it leapfrogs from there? Got cash? Filthy stuu! /sarcasm
“The Deep State has activated “Insurance Policy 2.0”.”
Good term for it.
It won’t work. It will backfire and boomerang on them.
I heard that this CORVID response is just to provide cover for Trump rounding up all the MS 13 in our nation.
SQUIRREL!!
