Puppet Masters
In particular, Georgia and Florida, which were projected to see a sharp rise in new cases, have not experienced major new outbreaks in the past week. The average number of new daily cases in Florida declined by 14 percent over the past week, and Georgia's average new daily cases dropped by 12 percent during the same time period, according to an analysis by Axios.
The data on new cases is imperfect because of variations between states in the amount and frequency of coronavirus testing. As of Wednesday, Florida has confirmed almost 42,000 coronavirus cases, while Georgia has confirmed 35,000 cases.
"There are many things we could do," Trump told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo Thursday. "We could cut off the whole relationship."
The Trump administration has been mulling avenues to possibly punish or seek financial compensation from China for what it sees as withholding information about the virus.
The president, appearing exclusively on "Mornings with Maria," raised the impact of ending relations.
"This invasion contract, signed by Jordan Goudreau, the head of a US private military company and Juan Guaido, is just a disgrace," Delcy Rodriguez, the vice president of Venezuela, said while talking to Ecuador's former president, Rafael Correa, on his show 'Conversation with Correa' on RT Spanish.
Rodriguez was referring to an agreement to "capture, detain or remove" the current president, Nicolas Maduro, in exchange for a $212.9-million reward. Leaked by the Washington Post, the contract carefully discusses tactical details, including which gear to use and who to treat as legitimate targets.
Cohen, 34, has been named deputy assistant secretary for counter narcotics and global threats, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. The job doesn't require confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
A Pentagon spokeswoman, Navy Commander Candice Tresch, said in an email that Cohen is "filling that position as of today."
Cohen was senior director for intelligence in the early months of the administration under Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn. He was pushed out of the White House after clashes with Trump's second national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, including over Afghanistan policy, according to two people familiar with the matter.
"Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don't mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it." -Kary Mullis, Inventor of Polymerase Chain ReactionWhat do we mean when we say somebody has 'tested positive' for the Corona Virus? The answer would astound you. But getting this "answer" is like getting to a very rare mushroom that only grows above 200 feet on a Sequoia tree in the forbidden forest.
I say that for dramatic effect, but also because I wound up, against all odds, finding it.
Every day I wake up and work at shedding one more layer of ignorance — by listening carefully. I got lucky with scientists many years ago; epic, incredible scientists, happening to cross my path when nobody else wanted to talk to them. Now their names are emerging, their warnings and corrections crystallizing. True "science" (the nature of the natural world) is never bad news. Globalist science is nothing but bad news.
The reason Bill Gates wants you to believe a Corona Virus will exterminate over 450 million people is that he hates nature, God, and you. (A subjective interpretation.) Why is that? You'd have to ask his psychiatrist.
But let's talk about the latest terror bomb detonated by Global Atheist PC Creeps upon your perfectly good, free life as a US citizen in 2020, governed by a President who does not think backwards. How many of us are "infected" with this novel Corona virus, and how scared should we be?
First, a spiritual law: Anything that tries to frighten you comes from "opposition," in spiritual battle. It's not the Holy Spirit, period. Ignore its threats and keep your wits about you. You don't have to shout, "Stay safe!' to your neighbors. We are safe. We have an immune system that is a miracle like The Sistine Chapel. It withstands toxic, microbial inundation on a grand scale at all times, while operating a super-highway of adaptive life-sustaining genetic information, on cellular bridges, emitting telegrams of vital evolutionary code, slandered as "viruses" or "retroviruses."
Comment: Yes, this article is really long, but you will be soooo glad you read it! Kary B. Mullis is the scientist who developed the 'test' that was never meant to be used for Covid purposes and describes why the testing parameters for the 'pandemic' are so wrong.
Even if the NYT and FT were correct in their claims, Russia would still be doing far better than the vast majority of large industrialized nations, including the US and UK.
As of the morning of May 14, Russia's Covid-19 death toll stands at 2,212 out of 242,271 recorded cases, or 0.9 percent. This number is not disputed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has continuously monitored the situation in the country. To compare, the death rate for the novel coronavirus is six percent in the US, seven percent in Canada, 14 percent in the UK, and 10 percent or more in Italy, Spain, France and Sweden. You know, the so-called civilized countries.
There is not a hint of evidence that the Russian government has covered up the coronavirus toll. Yet, foreign media are skeptical of Russia's numbers. Perhaps because in their worldview, Russia is not allowed to be anything but a grim and miserable failure at everything. Any fact contradicting this narrative is Kremlin propaganda.
Comment: Each country makes up its own standard(s) for evaluating Covid numbers and case reports. The more devastating the statistics, the higher the level of fear and 'fix-it' factor to control a population and achieve a desired response. Perhaps this is human nature...or something else. Is it just because they hate all things Russian? Or are they afraid Russia may blow their cover?
In an interview on May 13 with Current Time, Melita Vujnovic said the organization trusted the Russian official figures.
"One of the reasons for the low mortality rate is that everyone who needed hospital treatment could go there. There was no explosive increase in cases, and Russia bought time to strengthen its health-care system." She also noted that the rate of increase in new cases had decreased in recent days: as of May 14, it was around 4 percent, compared with nearly 14 percent a few weeks ago. "According to what we're seeing, this means that the measures to reduce the growth trend have worked."
On May 13, the city health department for Moscow, where the bulk of Russia's cases are concentrated, released a statement saying that more than 60 percent of Moscow's coronavirus deaths are not being included toward the city's official virus death toll.
"Further steps [by the Foreign Ministry] will depend on whether they publish a refutation," Maria Zakharova said on May 13, suggesting also the papers' reporters in Russia could have their ministry accreditations stripped.
A spokeswoman for The Times said that the newspaper stood by its reporting.
The filing comes in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records concerning "talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack" (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242)). Judicial Watch famously uncovered in 2014 that the "talking points," which provided the basis for false statements by then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, were created by the Obama White House. This FOIA lawsuit led directly to the disclosure of the Clinton email system in 2015.
In December 2018, Judge Lamberth ordered discovery into:
- whether Clinton's use of a private email server was intended to stymie FOIA;
- whether the State Department's intent to settle this case in late 2014 and early 2015 amounted to bad faith;
- whether the State Department has adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch's request, and
- whether the Benghazi controversy motivated the cover-up of Clinton's email.
The court ruled that the Clinton email system was "one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency."

China won't just strike back symbolically, but will impose countermeasures that will make them feel the pain, analysts said.
Some US lawmakers and state governors as well as attorneys who are also GOP hawks have filed lawsuits against China, alleging that the Chinese government mishandled the epidemic and it caused severe economic consequences in the US.
At least six lawsuits have been filed against China in US federal courts, while some lawmakers have also introduced bills to make it easier to sue China despite legal hurdles and no realistic possibility for US states to achieve their goal.
After meeting with governors of Colorado and North Dakota in the White House on Wednesday, Trump said he won't consider any state fully open until the schools are back up and running.
"I think you should absolutely open the schools. Our country has got to get back and it's got to get back as soon as possible, and I don't consider our country coming back if the schools are closed."On Tuesday, however, his chief epidemiologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, argued before the Senate that opening the schools this fall might be premature, saying that children might be affected by the virus after all.
When asked about Fauci's testimony, Trump said:
"He wants to play all sides of the equation. I was surprised by his answer, actually, because, you know, it's just to me it's not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools."Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) - a physician who recovered from the virus himself - also clashed with the head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the hearing, criticizing Fauci for offering advice based on models that ended up being wrong.
Comment: Is Fauci doubling down on a bad bet? Worse yet - a non-existent one? It seems to be a chronic case of Agenda Virus versus rationality and common sense.
The false 'Trump/Russia collusion' narrative has been dead for so long now that it's hard to remember what killed it, whether it was the Mueller Report or simply death by a thousand cuts.
Here is what we know: 'Russiagate' was a giant scam, and many of those who promoted it knowingly lied for a considerable length of time. Their aim was either to undermine Trump's presidency or prevent any improvement in US relations with Russia.
Most of the journalists who facilitated the hoax also knew it was nonsense. But their loathing of Trump - and in some cases Russia, too - trumped ethical considerations. Thus, much of the general public was, for years, fed a diet of grifters and washed-up old spooks pushing a scam.
Comment: Trump is fighting to clear his government of swamp creatures, but he has less control over congressional funding grants, and no control over the composition of think-tank personnel. He has been running the US on what amounts to a skeleton crew, as Congress has repeatedly held up approving his appointments.

Comment: Trump obviously has much too great of an opinion of the resilience of the American economy. This isn't surprising as most Americans think in this way. When such illusions have their influence on decisions during a time when hyperinflation is on its way and there is no domestic or international support for the strength of the dollar, it hastens the coming disaster.
