Vladimir Putin recently made comments on the seriousness of global conflicts that can lead to nuclear conflict. Patriots worldwide should pay close attention as the globalists build their dangerous nuclear arsenal.
In stark contrast to attempts in numerous western countries to stifle free speech online, Russian President Vladimir Putin defended Internet freedom during a conference...
A prominent Swedish lawmaker asserts that Hungarian billionaire George Soros's influence on European politics and policies make him "one of the most dangerous men,"
In 1968, Charles Bello and his wife, Vanna Rae, moved onto 240 acres of redwood forest looking to live a simpler life off the land. They had spent their savings to purchase the land so they got to work building their home themselves. Their first structure was a panelized A-frame that they erected in 5 days (with help from a couple family members). Total cost was $2,800.
The property is a half-hour drive down a dirt road and it was bare land when they arrived so Charles and Vanna Rae built their own infrastructure: roads, bridges and went decades without refrigeration nor phone (they eventually installed PV panels and cabling for phone lines).
After 15 years in the A-frame, they built a cabin in the woods and there they lived for a decade until the trees began to block out their views. In 1991 Charles (who once apprenticed under famed architect Richard Neutra) designed the Parabolic Glass House. With a curvilinear wood roof and two curved walls of windows, the home feels enveloped in trees.
Charles and Vanna Rae built it for $8,500 with timber they milled themselves, using salvaged materials for everything from doorknobs to stoves. The couple relied on photovoltaics, solar thermal and gas for power and a dug-in greenhouse attached to the home provided much of their food. By canning and preserving, they could go for months without going to a grocery store. Their two boys were homeschooled. The couple supported themselves selling Christmas trees.
Nearly all the old growth trees on the property were logged in the early 20th century, but Charles has spent the past half century restoring the land. He and his wife set up the Redwood Forest Institute in 1997 to manage and preserve the forest. He has carefully selected 1,000 trees to be preserved for 2 millenia as the next generation of old growth.
Now, 87 years old and a widower, Charles is determined to find successors; he hopes to find three couples who want to settle on the property (currently worth about 4-6 million dollars) in exchange for continuing as stewards of the land. He is currently building glamping guest houses that he hopes will help fund the enterprise. His website now advertises “seeking caretaker ASAP”, someone “wanting to get away from it all and live a more simple down to earth lifestyle”.
Both right wings of the US war party are hostile toward sovereign independent states that are free from its imperial control.
It’s notably true for nations with enormous hydrocarbon resources
like Iran and Venezuela — what the US seeks control over for added
ability to dominate other countries.
Most of all, it’s true for powerful nations like China and Russia, able to challenge US hegemonic aims effectively.
Russia’s super-weapons, exceeding the best in the West, made it the world’s dominant military power.
China’s growing economic, industrial, technological, and political
power most concerns US policymakers because of the country’s increasing
preeminence on the world stage at the expense of America in decline.
In their eyes, China is public enemy No. 1. Are both countries on a collision course for confrontation?
A rupture in political relations could follow the Trump regime’s trade war.
It’s exacerbated by unacceptable Pentagon incursions close to and in
Chinese waters, and now falsely blaming Beijing for spreading COVID-19
outbreaks to shift responsibility from US failures to deal with the
public health crisis effectively.
Intense China bashing affects US public opinion. A February Gallup
poll showed two-thirds of Americans view Beijing mostly or very
unfavorably — a 20 point decline from 2018.
A March poll by the organization showed nearly half of US respondents view China as a “critical threat.”
A new Pew Research poll showed two-thirds of Americans view China unfavorably. When Trump took office, it was 47%.
According to Asia Society’s director Orville Shell, “(i)t’s hardly surprising.”
“It’s now just about the only thing in Washington that Republicans
and (Dems) agree on…(They) have a much more skeptical view of China’s
intentions” — ignoring their own.
Negative US public opinion toward China shows propaganda works as intended.
According to former US National Security Council member Douglas Paal,
proposed congressional legislation calls for greater get tough on China
policies.
It’s an election issue. Congressional members and aspirants believe that publicly bashing China is a way to gain voter support.
Bilateral relations are likely to worsen ahead, including in the
aftermath of US November elections — heightening the risk of
confrontation by accident or design.
The outlook ahead is unsettling at best, a matter of great concern if bilateral relations continue deteriorating.
A rupture will be harmful to both countries. The US is China’s largest export market. It’s a major market for US exports.
According to the St. Louis Fed, agricultural products, aircraft, motor vehicles, and microchips are the top US exports to China.
The country is the world’s leading source of low-cost goods for the
US and many other nations. It’s a major buyer of US Treasuries.
In response to growing contentious relations with the US, China began
developing internal consumer-led growth years ago, including for
services — to be less dependent on exports for future growth, especially
to the West.
Has Russiagate shifted to Chinagate? US anti-China Cold War poses the risk of turning hot.
Is mutual trust beyond repair short-or-longer-term?
The issue goes way beyond Trump and GOP hardliners. If Biden succeeds
DJT as president in January, Sino/US relations are unlikely to improve.
Given the current trend, they’re more likely to further deteriorate.
Obama’s 2013 Asia pivot aimed to reassert America’s East Pacific
presence by advancing its military footprint in a part of the world
where it doesn’t belong.
It aims to challenge and counter China growing preeminence on the
world stage, while checking Russia in its far east at the same time.
Containment has been US policy throughout the post-WW II period, targeting nations able to challenge its hegemonic aims.
Cold War politics rages on multiple fronts, mainly against China and
Russia — in the Middle East against Iran, in Latin America against
Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.
It’s what the scourge of Washington’s imperial agenda is all about, risking endless wars by hot and other means.
US imperial overreach threatens everyone everywhere.
What’s unthinkable is possible, the risk of military confrontation
with China and/or Russia that could go nuclear if pushed too far.

President Donald Trump has bashed former FBI Director James
Comey, after unsealed documents revealed an agency plot to entrap Gen.
Michael Flynn in a bid to take down the Trump presidency.
“DIRTY COP JAMES COMEY GOT CAUGHT!”
Trump tweeted on Thursday morning, in one of a series of tweets
lambasting the FBI’s prosecution of retired army general Michael Flynn,
which he called a “scam.”
Flynn served as Trump’s national security adviser in the first days
of the Trump presidency, before he was fired for allegedly lying about
his contact with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
An FBI
investigation followed, and several months later, Flynn pleaded guilty
to Special Counsel Robert Mueller about lying during interviews with
agents. He has since tried to withdraw the plea, citing poor legal
defense and accusing the FBI and Obama administration of setting him up
from the outset.
Documents
unsealed by a federal judge on Wednesday seem to support that argument.
In one handwritten note, dated the same day as Flynn’s FBI interview in
January 2017, the unidentified note-taker jots down some potential
strategies to use against the former general.
“We have a case on Flynn + Russians,” the note reads. “What’s our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
#FLYNN docs just unsealed, including handwritten notes 1/24/2017 day of Flynn FBI interview. Transcript: “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Read transcript notes, copy original just filed. @CBSNewspic.twitter.com/8oqUok8i7m
The unsealed documents also include an email exchange between former
agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, in which the pair
pondered whether to remind Flynn that lying to federal agents is a
crime. Page and Strzok were later fired from the agency, after a slew of
text messages emerged showing the pair’s mutual disdain for Trump, and
discussing the formulation of an “insurance policy” against his election.
Flynn’s
discussions with Kislyak were deemed truthful by former FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe. Additionally, a Washington Post article
published the day before Flynn’s January 2017 interview revealed that
the FBI had tapped his calls with the Russian ambassador and found
“nothing illicit.”
Still, Section 1001 of the US Criminal Code,
which makes it illegal to lie to a federal agent, is broad in its scope.
Defense Attorney Solomon Wisenberg wrote that “even
a decent person who tries to stay out of trouble can face criminal
exposure under Section 1001 through a fleeting conversation with
government agents.” Source: https://www.rt.com/usa/487394-comey-trump-fbi-documents-flynn/
A powerful speech by Tommy Robinson about one of the worst sexual exploitation scandals that shook Britain. A story of rampant child abuse ignored and abetted by the police that emerged out of the British town of Rotherham. In this quintessentially liberal scandal one fact stands out above all the horrors, which is that the girl victims were white, and their abusers Pakistani. Why did British police ignore Pakistani gangs abusing 1,400 Rotherham children? And in the face of such evil, who is the racist now?
China has "tripled presence on Facebook and Twitter in recent months"
China has reportedly “tripled presence on Facebook and Twitter in
recent months” as it struggles to control Coronavirus narratives on the
internet as fingers have been pointed at them after their response to
the Covid-19 outbreak.
The world’s second biggest economy has reportedly bought up U.S. ads
to promote disinformation campaigns which have been likened to Russia by
the Wall Street Journal.
The efforts include ad
purchases on Facebook Inc. FB 0.52% promoting the English-language arms
of Chinese state-media outlets, as well as posts there and on Twitter
Inc.’s TWTR -0.32% platform that in some cases disparage U.S. efforts to
fight the global pandemic, the researchers say.
From mid-February until early March, social-media sites linked to
Chinese state media posted more than 3,300 times a day, triple the
normal rate, according to Recorded Future, a Somerville, Mass.-based
cybersecurity consulting firm. Those outlets were principally active on
Facebook and Twitter, the research showed.
China has tripled its presence on Facebook and Twitter in recent months, researchers say, to spread messages that can incite doubt about basic facts and sometimes promote fictitious claims https://t.co/IEZDaL6vfQ
The effort to buy up social media ads was in an effort to shape the
Western world’s opinion over China’s involvement in the Hong Kong
protests which were eclipsed by the coronavirus outbreak.
The deadly Covid-19, which China failed to contain or act
transparently, has left a trail of destruction in its wake; tens of
thousands have died from the coronavirus as well as paralyzing global
economics.
Since the end of 2018, China has bought up over 200 social media
ads–a third of which have been purchased in the past few months.
Researchers indicated China’s intentions acting in accordance with a
form of social consciousness damage control, after the general consensus
on the internet points to blaming China for the global pandemic
currently placing billions around the world on lockdown.
Several stories have emerged worsening China’s diplomatic image as
several countries report faulty PPE to combat the spread of the
Covid-19. The White House reported on face masks donated to Beijing from Italy being forcefully sold back as the Mediterranean country struggles to tackle the pandemic.
Last Year, Silicon Valley was reportedly colluding with China in the
creation of an extra-legal social credit system as individual freedoms
are trounced in order to contain the coronavirus.
The unknown that lays ahead for
all of us is both exhilarating and scary. Exhilarating in the long term,
but rather scary in the short term. All empires eventually die and
we’re in the terminal phase of the New World Order that will not recover
from the Russian roulette game it has been playing, for Vladimir Putin
handed it a loaded gun and it pulled the trigger.
The last few weeks put everything
in place for the last battle. There are so many different facts and
events, left and right, and I will try to do my best to remain
methodical in this complicated expose. Bare with me, I’ve been
struggling for three weeks with this article because of the insane
amount of additional details that each day provides. It might have been a
wrong time to quit smoking, but I enjoy a good challenge.
Dropping dollars
A little context is required. The
New World Order concept is simply the wish of a handful of international
bankers that want to economically and politically rule the whole planet
as one happy family. It started in 1773 and if it went through
important changes over the years, but the concept and objective haven’t
changed an iota. Unfortunately for them, international banks that have
been looting the planet through the US dollar since 1944 are now
threatened by hyperinflation, as their printing machine has been
rotating for years to cover their absurd spendings to sustain oil and
resource wars that they’ve all ultimately lost. In order to prevent this
upcoming hyperinflation, they generated a virus attack on four
countries (China, Iran, Italy and now the United States) to spread panic
in the population, with the precious help of their ignominious medias.
Even though this corona virus isn’t different from any new viruses that
attack humans every year, the media scare pushed people to voluntarily
isolate themselves through fear and terror. Some lost their jobs,
companies are going bankrupt, the panic created a stock exchange crash
that emptied wallets and dried assets, resulting in a few trillion
virtual dollars off the market to release pressure off the currency.
So far, so good, but everything
else went wrong in this desperate and ultimate banzai. The top
virologist on the planet confirmed that chloroquine was being used by
the Chinese with spectacular results to cure patients, then he improved
his magic potion by adding a pneumonic antibacterial called
azythromicin, and saved everyone of his first 1000 cases, but one.
Donald Trump immediately imposed the same treatment through a fight
against his own Federal Drug Administration, bought and owned by the
deep state. This forced all medias to talk about Dr Didier Raoult’s
Miracle Elixir, signing the death warrant on our confidence in all
Western governments, their medical agencies, the World Health
Organization, and medias that were trying to destroy the impeccable
doctor’s reputation, while inventing sudden «dangerous side effects» of a
nearly inoffensive drug that has been used for 60 years to treat
malaria. Not so far away in Germany, internationally praised Dr Wolfgand
Wodarg noted that the engineered panic was totally useless, since this
virus isn’t any different than the others that affect us every years.
This has been an amazing victory for Trump and the general population on
social medias, whom exposed together the pathological lies of the
official communication channels of every New World Order country. De
facto, the credibility’s of these puppet governments have vanished in
the air, and from the eye of the storm, Italy will surely exit the EU
right after the crisis, which will trigger a domino effect running
through every EU countries and NATO members. My friends, globalism is
dead and ready for cremation.
Digging the abyss
International bankers couldn’t see
it coming in 1991, when they dominated 95% of the planet after the fall
of the Soviet Union. It seemed that nothing could halt their ultimate
mission to complete their Orwellian dream: destroy a few countries in
the Middle East, enlarge Israel, and get the total control over the
world oil market, the last piece of their Xanadu puzzle that they’ve
been working on for a whole century, starting with the Balfour
declaration in 1917.
When Vladimir Putin got charge of
Russia, there was no sign that he would do better than the drunk he had
replaced. An ex KGB officer seemed like a choice more driven by
nostalgia rather than ideology, but Putin had many more assets going for
him than first met the eyes: patriotism, humanism, a sense of justice,
cunning ruse, a genius economist friend named Sergey Glazyev whom openly
despised the New World Order, but above all, he embodied the
reincarnation of the long lost Russian ideology of total political and
economical independence. After a few years spent at draining the Russian
swamp from the oligarchs and mafiosis that his stumbling predecessor
had left in his trail of empty bottles, Vlad rolled his sleeves and got
to work.
Because his opponents had been
looting the planet for 250 years through colonization insured by a
military dominance, Vlad knew that he had to start by building an
invincible military machine. And he did. He came up with different types
of hypersonic missiles that can’t be stopped, the best defensive
systems on the planet, the best electronic jamming systems, and the best
planes. Then to make sure that a nuclear war wouldn’t be an option, he
came up with stuff which nightmares are made of, such as the Sarmat, the
Poseidon and the Avangard, all unstoppable and able to destroy any
country in a matter of a few hours.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, gestures while speaking during an annual meeting with top military officials in the National Defense Control Center in Moscow, December 24, 2019. Putin said that Russia is the only country in the world that has hypersonic weapons even though its military spending is a fraction of the U.S. military budget. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, left, and Chief of General Staff of Russia Valery Gerasimov, right, attend the meeting.
With a new and unmatched arsenal,
he could proceed to defeat any NATO force or any of its proxies, as he
did starting in September 2015 in Syria. He proved to every country that
independence from the NWO banking system was now a matter of choice.
Putin not only won the Syrian war, but he won the support of many New
World Order countries that suddenly switched sides upon realizing how
invincible Russia had become. On a diplomatic level, it also got mighty
China by its side, and then managed to protect independent oil producers
such as Venezuela and Iran, while leaders like Erdogan of Turkey and
Muhammad Ben Salman of Saudi Arabia decided to side with Russia, who
isn’t holding the best poker hand, but the whole deck of cards.
Ending in the conclusion that
Putin now controls the all-mighty oil market, the unavoidable energy
resource that lubricates economies and armies, while the banksters’ NATO
can only watch, without any means to get it back. With the unbelievable
results that Putin has been getting in the last five years, the New
World Order suddenly looks like a house of cards about to crumble. The
Empire of Banks has been terminally ill for five years, but it’s now on
morphine, barely realizing what’s going on.
Tragedy and hope
Since there is no hope in starting
WW3 which is lost in advance, the last banzai came out of the bushes in
the shape of a virus and the ensuing media creation of a fake pandemic.
The main focus was to avoid a catastrophic hyperinflation of the
humongous mass of US dollar that no one wants anymore, to have time to
implement their virtual world crypto-currency, as if the chronically
failing bankers still have any legitimacy to keep controlling our money
supplies. It seemed at first that the plan could work. That’s when Vlad
took out his revolver to start the Russian roulette game and bankers
blew their brains out upon the pressure on the trigger.
He called a meeting with OPEP and
killed the price of oil by refusing to lower Russia’s production, taking
the barrel to under 30 dollars. Without any afterthought and certainly
even less remorse, Vlad killed the costly Western oil production. All
the dollars that had been taken out of the market had to be re-injected
by the Fed and other central banks to avoid a downslide and the final
disaster. By now, our dear bankers are out of solutions.
In the meantime, Trump also poked
at the tie-wearing gangsters. While medias avoided the corona-killing
chloroquine subject, an old pill designed to cure malaria, Trump imposed
to the FDA the use of this life-saving drug on US infected patients.
Medias didn’t have any choice but to start talking about it, which
ignited a chain reaction: big pharmas CEO’s were fired because they had
just lost the vaccine contract, countries like Canada looked like
genocidal fools for not using the cheap and inoffensive medication,
while a most outrageous criminal act by a government was exposed in full
light: the Macron government had proclaimed in January 2020 that
chloroquine was harmful and had restrained its use, just a couple of
weeks before the burst of the fake pandemic! Russian roulette is a
popular game in Western governments these days around.
On Saturday March 28th, Russia
announced its own corona-killing brew, based on Dr Raoult’s magic
potion. Yet another Cossack blow, this time to the big pharmas jugular
vein, while most Western countries now have to implement the good
doctor’s treatment, or face the slap of a Russian pill coming to save
its citizen. Putin is in the lifesaving business these days: in the last
week of March, he sent 15 military planes filled with doctors and
supplies directly to North Italy, after an aid plane from China was
blocked by the Czech Republic. We’re about to learn that European
countries fear that China or Russia finds the truth in the Lombardy
region, where people are not dying from some corona bug, but probably
from a deadly cocktail hybrid from two earlier vaccines for meningitis
and influenza, that they were injected in separate vaccination
campaigns.
The punchline
I said earlier that everyday
brings amazing news. Well on Sunday March 29th, the most stunning of
them all fell like a ton of bricks on social medias: confined onlookers
learned that Trump had taken control over the Federal Reserve, that is
now handled by two representatives of the Treasury of State. Of all the
crazy news within the last month, this is by far the best and most
shocking. After three years in power, Trump has finally fulfilled his
electoral promise of taking private banks out of the US public affairs,
ending a century of exploitation of the American citizens. He has put
the infamous Blackrock investment group to start buying important
corporations for the Fed, meaning that he’s nationalizing chunks of the
economy, while avoiding the crash of the market by implicating important
private investors in the deal.
President Donald Trump gestures with Jerome Powell, his nominee to become chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve at the White House in Washington, U.S., November 2, 2017
This outmost daring move comes at a
crucial point in time, and faces us with the realization that Vladimir
Putin and Donald Trump are united and have taken humanity to the
crossroads of the New World Order and freedom. As I have stated often
before, I thought that the world would deeply change between 2020 and
2024, because these would be the last 4 years of these two heroes in
political power of their nations.
The New World Order is facing the
two most powerful countries on the planet, and this fake pandemic
changed everything. It showed how desperate the banksters are, and if we
don’t want to end up with nuclear warheads flying in both directions,
Putin and Trump have to stop them now.
Terminate the BIS, the World Bank,
the IMF, the European Central bank, the EU, NATO, now. Our world won’t
be perfect, but it might get much better soon.
Easter resurrection is coming. This might get biblical.
Rich Democratic
donors, including George Soros, have thrown their weight behind super
PACs' effort to lambast Donald Trump's handling of the COVID-19
outbreak. Vladimir Golstein, associate professor at Rhode Island's Brown
University, foresees that the Dems will try to "milk" the crisis until
November in order to undermine Trump's re-election bid.
On Monday, CNN reported
that Priorities USA Action, the largest Democratic Party super PAC, is
launching a $6 million ad campaign slamming President Donald Trump for
his response to the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, another Dem super
PAC, PACRONYM, announced a similar campaign on 17 March, vowing to spend
$5 million on it, according to The Washington Post.
For its part, The Washington Free Beaconnotes
that it is just a small portion of funds allocated by wealthy liberal
donors, including George Soros, to "weaken" Trump. The media outlet
highlights that this year Soros has already funneled
$5 million to Priorities USA Action through his Democracy PAC which was
created in July 2019 to serve as a hub for his 2020 race spending. For
comparison's sake PACRONYM reportedly received just $250,000 from the Hungarian-born billionaire last year.
In February, the Democrats decided to shift from their impeachment failure to a new campaign targeting Trump's potential economic setbacks, according
to Politico. At the time, the media outlet explained that while the
Democratic camp had begun "to aggressively go after Trump’s track record
on the economy" it couldn't decide "exactly how to message it". The
coronavirus-driven recession has come in handy for them, according to
Vladimir Golstein, associate professor at Brown University in Rhode
Island.
Sputnik: What's your take on the Dems' recent anti-Trump
effort? Is it politically correct to capitalise on the American people's
fears amid the pandemic? Does the end justify the means in this case?
Vladimir Golstein: Democrats are doing the best they
can to utilise this crisis in order to “soften” their target: President
Trump. While the future of Trump is not certain, the current crisis has
already had its first serious political victim: Senator Sanders, whose
fall in the primaries was as spectacular as his rise just before the
crisis began to unfold. Due to the restrictions on public gatherings,
due to the general panic, and consistent drumbeat from Democratic
leadership that, first, former Vice President Biden is a figure of
stability and unity, and that, second, Senator Sanders is both too
radical and too weak to beat Trump, Sanders began to lose dramatically.
Encouraged by their success with Sanders, the Democratic leadership
clearly used fear-mongering to present the current medical crisis as the
result of Trump’s profound inadequacies. Had all these events unfolded
in the fall, Trump would have sunk as quickly as did Sanders, paving the way for Biden straight into White House.
The timing, however, proved somewhat
premature. Consequently, Democrats intend to milk the crisis all the way
to November. Thus, their persistent demands that the whole country
comes to a standstill. All this presented as the desire to safe lives by
quarantining the whole population, but the motives behind the
scare-tactics are obvious.
Conversely, Trump originally erred on the other side, trying to
diminish the dangers of the infection. Needless to say, Democrats
immediately denounced Trump’s political motives, while keeping silent
about their own. Now the issue has been expanded from the medical
dimension into economics. The situation appears rather dire, millions
apply for unemployment, the market sinks, and general gloom prevails.
Trump’s attempts to get the economy back on track are greeted with
condemnations and accusations of cruelty. Yet, it is clear, what is
driving the Democrat Party's righteous anger.
An interesting situation emerges: while the educated and liberal
class that does its job via computers, want the current quarantine to
continue, since its loss of income is insignificant, Trump’s traditional
supporters: both rich owners of various enterprises, and their
blue-collar workers, want to get back to work. So as usual, economics
will decide everything.
Sputnik: Is it ethical, in your view, to spend millions on
anti-Trump political ads amid the coronavirus outbreak, instead of, for
example, supporting those in need?
Vladimir Golstein: As they say, “all fair in love
and war", and there is no doubt that Democrats view Trump as their
enemy. It is naïve to expect political parties to abstain from
politicking. Where Democrats seem to have miscalculated, however, is in
the power and decisiveness of Trump. As the president of the most
powerful and wealthy country in the world, he has endless means at his
disposal. I am sure that he’ll do everything he can to get the economy
back on track, and to solve the medical crisis before the summer ends.
In my estimation, Democrats will come to regret their decision to sink
Sanders – the only candidate who could have unseated Trump in November.
Sputnik: What do you think about the US liberal MSM coverage of Donald Trump's handling of the crisis?
Vladimir Golstein: I try to avoid mass media in the
United States, since it is so politicised that it is not worth the
effort to read through endless barbs and accusations. However, just a
brief look at the articles carried by liberal publications, such as the
Huffington Post, for example, conveys just one message: Trump is not
qualified, Trump is not ready, Trump is dangerous, Trump is wrong.
Fox News is the only cable news network to cover President Donald Trump's signing of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill
CNN and MSNBC are refusing to air his remarks where he describes what his administration has done to help American families and the economy pic.twitter.com/w4JkzebKLl
Needless to say, all these innuendos are given under the pretext of covering the COVID-19 news, and therefore accompanied by the pictures of hospital doctors, suffering patients, and so on. This is a typical title: "I'm An ER Doctor In NYC. Trump's Coronavirus Plan Isn't Just Dangerous, It's Deadly".
Such Fake reporting by the @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @CNN & others. They use a small portion of a sentence out of a full paragraph in order to demean. They really are corrupt and disgusting. No wonder the media is, according to polls, record setting low & untrusted. #MAGA
There is no doubt that Trump’s handling of the crisis, and on a more
serious level, his handling of the public investment in hospitals and
medicine, has been inadequate. But the same can be said about his
critics, the Democratic leadership, that did the best they could to
neutralise Bernie Sanders, even though he was one of the few candidates
who consistently arguing for the overhaul of the medical system. So the
criticism of Democrats, who constantly vote to give billions to military
and nothing for medicine, seems to be highly disingenuous and
opportunistic.
The virus is a serious issue in
itself, and even more serious in what it tells us about the bankruptcy
of neoliberalism, and the collapse of the post-Cold War world order. We
need some professionals writing about the former, and some thoughtful
economists to write about the latter when dust settles. What we don't
need is the highly partisan mass media, which uses any opportunity to
report on the coronavirus to blame Trump for his failures, greed, and
corruption.
