COVID-19 and Economic Duress: A Pretext to Enhance Police State Powers?

COVID-19 and Economic Duress: A Pretext to Enhance Police State Powers? Suspension of Constitutional Rights During COVID-19? By Stephen Lendman Global Research, Crises are times when ruling authorities convince people to sacrifice personal freedoms for greater security — not realizing that both will be lost. Ruling authorities take advantage of times like now by instituting draconian policies they’re unable to introduce during normal times without risking mass rebellion. Following the state-sponsored 9/11 false flag, police state America emerged. A war OF terrorism was launched at home and abroad, not on it. Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was a declaration of forever wars on invented enemies to feed the military, industrial, security, media...

Weathering COVID-19: financial resilience

by Army News Service With the outbreak of the coronavirus, we’re living in uncertain times. More and more schools and businesses are closing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As a result, many people are working from home or out of work indefinitely. If you feel you’re in a precarious financial situation, you’re not alone. George Katsinis, a personal finance counselor for Oregon National Guard members and their families, shares some actions you can take to stay ahead of the curve in times of crisis and uncertainty. Take care of yourself and your family first. In times of crisis, focus on absolute needs first. As you evaluate your expenses, keep in mind what is necessary for day-to-day survival and what is not. Basic needs come down to food, shelter, clothing, transportati...

How the Revolution Would Deal with Health Care, Including Epidemics

Excerpt from the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. The following is from Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian. (The Constitution is available in PDF format online here.) H. Health and Medicine. 1. The goal of the New Socialist Republic in North America with regard to health and medicine is to promote the all-around health and well-being of the people and, as one key dimension of this, to provide the people in society as a whole with access to medical care–at low cost and eventually free of cost–and to continually develop and improve this medical care. The government of this Republic also acts to ensure that the food and nutritional needs of the population are met...

Covid-19 Global Lockdown

By CJ Hopkins Global Research, Let’s try a little thought experiment. Just for fun. To pass the time while we’re indefinitely locked down inside our homes, compulsively checking the Covid-19 “active cases” and “total death” count, washing our hands every twenty minutes, and attempting not to touch our faces. Before we do, though, I want to make it clear that I believe this Covid-19 thing is real, and is probably the deadliest threat to humanity in the history of deadly threats to humanity. According to the data I’ve been seeing, it’s only a matter of days, or hours, until nearly everyone on earth is infected and is either dying in agony and alone or suffering mild, common cold-like symptoms, or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. I feel that I need to state this clearly...

Living at the End of the World

by HOWARD LISNOFF The coronavirus spreads like a kind of modern plague across the global landscape. The view from my study window is of the gently rolling hills of the Berkshires in the foothills of the Appalachians. Today, they are lightly dusted with snow that will vanish in the warmer air by mid afternoon. Here, looking toward my neighbor’s apple orchard always allows and invites introspection and the separation from the world, which is good for writing. Close by are the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut, where Philip Roth stood at his writing podium and produced some superb works of literature amid the small farms indigenous to the area. Clear the land of trees, rocks, and brush, and the farmland is fertile. Disease and epidemics (and pandemics) are not all ...

A Lesson Coronavirus is About to Teach the World

by JONATHAN COOK Philippe de Champaigne’s Vanitas (c. 1671) If a disease can teach wisdom beyond our understanding of how precarious and precious life is, the coronavirus has offered two lessons. The first is that in a globalised world our lives are so intertwined that the idea of viewing ourselves as islands – whether as individuals, communities, nations, or a uniquely privileged species – should be understood as evidence of false consciousness. In truth, we were always bound together, part of a miraculous web of life on our planet and, beyond it, stardust in an unfathomably large and complex universe. It is only an arrogance cultivated in us by those narcissists who have risen to power through their own destructive egotism that blinded us to the necessary mix of humility...

Civilization Ruffled by Another Perfect Epidemiological Storm

by JOHN DAVIS Plague is defeated, detail of the “Column of the Plague” (Pestsäule), Graben, Vienna, Austria. Photograph Source: Jebulon – CC0 It is the beginning of the twenty-first century and most humans remain inhabitants of what James C. Scott calls the ‘Multispecies Resettlement Camp’ – the aggregation of men, women, children and their domesticated plants and animals that was made possible by the development of agriculture. His book, Against the Grain – A Deep History of the Earliest States, 2017, takes a jaundiced look at sedentism – the staying put that initially gave rise to urban culture and that would, some millennia later, come to define modernity. This progression represents our understanding of the development of Western Civilization which we are acc...

China defeats coronavirus with great heroism and sacrifice

China could quickly emerge as the powerhouse supplier of all those countries in need of critical medical equipment. by PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: China is over the hump. It’s open cases count is steadily coming down. It has 7263 active cases now with only 34 new ones reported today. This means its financial recovery is already in progress it could end up being the motherload of virus fighting supplies for countries that don’t have China’s industrial base. Alibaba’s Jack Ma, through his foundation has been sending masks and test kits all over, for free, even offering the US a million masks. And of course China huge medical lab community is working 24/7 on a vaccine, as many other are. The US on the other hand has acted like a turd, keeping full sanction...

China publishes coronavirus patients autopsy results, infection sources determined

The researchers have examined 103 coronavirus specimen and discovered that it underwent 149 mutations an evolved into two subtypes - S-and L-type, with the later more lethal. By Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor …from TASS, Moscow [ Editor’s Note: This is a March 4th article which I only found by checking TASS. I have not seen this mentioned in any of the other news “updates” on the virus, despite its huge coverage the last few days. So know we know there are two types of the virus. Was media just too overwhelmed by it, or was there censorship for the purpose of not putting the spotlight more on China being the most knowledgeable about the virus now? This could be due to Trump wanting to initially blame the virus on China, and not wanting to cut it any slack as t...
