In this article, I'll present quotes from official sources about their own diagnostic test for the coronavirus. I'm talking about fatal flaws in the test.

Because case numbers are based on those tests (or no tests at all), the whole "pandemic effect" has been created out of fake science.

In a moment of truth, a propaganda pro might murmur to a colleague, "You know, we've got a great diagnostic test for the virus. The test turns out all sorts of results that say this person is diseased and that person is diseased. Millions of diseased people. But the test doesn't really measure that. The test is ridiculous, but ridiculous in our favor. It builds the picture of a global pandemic. An excuse to lock down the planet and wreck economies and lives..."

The widespread test for the COVID-19 virus is called the PCR. I have written much about it in past articles.

Now let's go to published official literature, and see what it reveals. Spoiler alert: the admitted holes and shortcomings of the test are devastating.

From "CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel" [1]:

"Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms."

Translation: A positive test doesn't guarantee that the COVID virus is causing infection at all. And, ahem, reading between the lines, maybe the COVID virus might not be in the patient's body at all, either.

Best of the Web: "This is what a police state is like": UK's ex-supreme court judge lambasts policing, 'collective hysteria' and the lockdown

A former supreme court justice has heavily criticised Derbyshire police for stopping people exercising in the Peak District saying that such behaviour risks plunging Britain into a "police state".

Lord Sumption warned that police had no legal power to enforce "ministers' wishes" and that the public should not be "resigning their liberty" to over-zealous citizens in uniform.

"The behaviour of the Derbyshire police in trying to shame people in using their undoubted right to take exercise in the country and wrecking beauty spots in the fells so people don't want to go there is frankly disgraceful," he said.

Comment: And here is a warning police have been leaving on the cars of those who were enjoying their countryside walk, possibly while being tracked and filmed on one of the police's drones:

Do not let this coronavirus lead to a 9/11-style erosion of civil liberties

We must reject such authoritarian measures wholly, no matter who says they're 'necessary'!

As a millennial, much of my adulthood has been punctuated by severe national emergencies. The first my generation experienced was the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. We all watched in horror as the months-long media spectacle replayed footage of the towers swallowing airplanes and crumbling into fire and dust. The moment of national solidarity and everyday heroism was brief.

The government quickly responded by attempting to achieve two things: one, expanding executive power, and two, transferring public wealth into private corporations.

The Bush administration achieved the first by passing the Patriot Act, which built the foundation for what is probably the world's most expansive surveillance state, but also by setting legal precedents that violated basic constitutional rights and by creating the Department for Homeland Security, with its aggressive constituent agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The second goal was achieved with the "war on terror", which involved unilateral occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, and subsequent military forays into many African countries. In Iraq, private security, logistics and reconstruction contractors swallowed up $138bn alone. Since 2001, $5.9tn in taxpayer dollars have gone toward wars (not to mention resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and a foreign policy blackhole that still haunts the Middle East). Neither of these goals addressed the root cause of the crisis, and arguably exacerbated the conditions that led to 9/11.

Comment: Civil liberties always take the hit during times of crisis (especially those manmade) and yes, 9/11 was the perfect example. Covid-19 has all the earmarks to be another. The author then reveals his list of fantasy fixits, proving he is merely a wishful thinking 'politics' guy - certainly not a financial genius nor the rights activist he claims to be.

Israel pummels Gaza Strip with aerial assault as it struggles to battle pandemic

Israel pummeled the besieged Gaza Strip on Saturday, its bombs targeting a number of locations in the Palestinian territory, which is struggling to deal with a deadly outbreak of coronavirus.

Warplanes fired missiles which struck areas north-west of Gaza City and east of the town of Jabalya. Artillery shells also hit a spot east of the city, causing damage to infrastructure. No injuries were reported.

The Israeli armed forces claimed that the aerial assault was a response for missiles being fired into the south of the country, the stock response used to justify such an attack. None of the Palestinian resistance factions claimed responsibility for the alleged rocket attack on Israel.

In a further operation, the Israeli navy opened fire on a Palestinian fisherman off the coast of Gaza City. The Palestinian fishing industry has suffered huge losses as fishermen are frequently targeted by Israeli gunboats and are denied access to the sea.

US news reports on Israel-Palestine virtually always mention 'thousands of rockets have been fired from Gaza.' However, the media virtually never report how many Israelis these rockets have killed, when the rocket launches began, and what the rockets look like. US media reports also fail to compare these Palestinian weapons to the weapons Israel uses in its airstrikes.

For that reason, If Americans Knew has compiled thorough information on this topic, including a list of those killed, the dates of their deaths, and details on some of the weaponry involved.

According to the Israeli military, the first rocket launched by a Gazan resistance group was fired on April 16, 2001. This came AFTER Israeli forces had shelled and invaded Gaza (photos here), killing 570+ Palestinians. The production of rockets began in September 2001. In 2001 Palestinian groups fired a total of 4 rockets. (According to the Jewish Policy Center and Jewish Virtual Library. The first rocket to land in Israel was in 2002. (Jewish Policy Center)

Rosneft outmaneuvers US sanctions, sells its Venezuelan assets to the Russian government

Russian oil giant Rosneft PJSC sold its assets in Venezuela to the Russian government, in what may be a maneuver to avoid any U.S. sanctions in an escalating fight between Caracas, Washington and Moscow.

Rosneft is selling local production, service and trading assets to a state-owned company, it said in a statement. The move is to protect shareholders' interests, according to company spokesman Mikhail Leontyev.

The U.S. slapped sanctions on two units of Rosneft earlier this year for operating in Venezuela, stopping short of sanctioning the listed parent company. President Donald Trump is trying to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is clinging to power in the oil-rich but increasingly impoverished nation.

Comment: There are always ways to beat a bully and turn an advantage. Bets are the US didn't see this one coming.

On Sunday, the US-led coalition officially handed over the K1 Air Base in northern Iraq's Kirkuk province to the Iraqi Army in a pre-planned move that they said was unrelated to recent attacks by Shiite militias against Iraqi bases hosting foreign troops.

The US-led international coalition's headquarters in the northern Iraqi province of Nineveh near the Syrian border has been transferred to Iraq's army, the country's Baghdad Al Youm news outlet reports.

According to Baghdad Al Youm, the coalition forces transferred the Nineveh headquarters on Monday as part of the process of withdrawing foreign troops from some Iraqi provinces. At the same time, the news outlet says, the US forces are rapidly completing the construction of a base near the city of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, which may become one of the largest military bases in the Middle East.

France sanctions hydroxychloroquine drug treatment after 78 of 80 patients recover from COVID-19 within five days

The French government has officially sanctioned chloroquine, a drug often used to fight malaria, for certain patients infected with the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

"The French government has officially sanctioned prescriptions of chloroquine to treat certain coronavirus patients," France 24 English reported Saturday.

"This ensures continued treatment of patients who have been treated for several years for a chronic condition with this drug, but also allows a temporary authorization to allow certain patients with coronavirus to benefit from this therapeutic route," said France's director general of health Jérôme Salomon.

Comment: Big Pharma polishes its image with some charity PR. Call it cynical but it's probably meant to smooth the way for the next round of toxic vaccines they intend to push on the public:
Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said Sunday that the Trump-touted drudged hydroxychloroquine, often used to treat malaria, is our biggest hope in combating the China-originated coronavirus, or COVID-19.

Narasimhan pledged to donate a stunning 130 million doses of hydroxychloroquine and will support studies of the drug as a treatment against COVID-19.

Reuters reported:
Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said his Sandoz generics unit's malaria, lupus and arthritis drug hydroxychloroquine is the company's biggest hope against the coronavirus, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported on Sunday.

Novartis has pledged to donate 130 million doses and is supporting clinical trials needed before the medicine, which U.S. President Donald Trump also has been promoting, can be approved for use against the coronavirus.
"Pre-clinical studies in animals as well as the first data from clinical studies show that hydroxychloroquine kills the coronavirus," Narasimhan told Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung. "We're working with Swiss hospitals on possible treatment protocols for the clinical use of the drug, but it's too early to say anything definitively."

According to Reuters, pharmaceutical companies Bayer and Teva "have also agreed to donate hydroxychloroquine or similar drugs, while Gilead Sciences is testing its experimental drug remdesivir against coronavirus."

The "Three Little Pigs" prepare for the "wolf": How Russia, US and China are responding to COVID-19

COVID-19, or as it has colloquially come to be known as coronavirus began on December 31st, 2019, when China notified the World Health Organization of a rise in pneumonia cases with an unknown cause.

On January 3rd, China reported a total of 44 suspected patients, after, two days earlier, having closed the Huanan seafood market, suspected to be the source of the mystery disease, as some of the patients presenting with the pneumonia-like illness were dealers or vendors at the market. On January 7th, China identified a new coronavirus as cause of the outbreak.

Since then, the media hysteria and chaotic actions of governments around the world have put the globe into state of a constant crisis. Governments are imposing lockdowns and limit freedoms of their citizens. The situation is further fueled by the economic crisis and the dramatic fall of oil prices. MSM media outlets release daily reports counting confirmed COVID-19 cases and associated deaths (that are in fact less than from the seasonal influenza illnesses).

Kremlinology 2.0: Is Vladimir Putin still in charge at the Kremlin?

This is not a question that figures in our Western commentary and analysis, since it is universally assumed that one man, Vladimir Putin, dominates Russian political life for a good reason: his unique ability to tame the contending factions at the center of power in Russia. He is the indispensable lynchpin.

However, I insist that this assumption may have become threadbare, and that there may well be a power struggle going on in the Kremlin today which Vladimir Vladimirovich no longer controls. Indeed, it appears he is receiving his script now from the stronger of the contenders around him and is not comfortable with his lines.

I hinted at this three days ago in my analysis of his address to the nation on the coronavirus, saying that perhaps "Putin's command of the situation is faltering."

North Korea said it has lost faith in dialogue with Washington after "reckless" US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for more pressure on Pyongyang.

In statement published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency on Monday, an unnamed North Korean diplomat in charge of the talks with the US warned that the country will continue working on "our important planned projects aimed to repay the US with actual horror and unrest for the sufferings it has inflicted upon our people."

"We will go our own way. We want the US not to bother us," the official said.
