As the markets implode and the world economy shuts down, I have only one observation: This is the greatest transfer of wealth from the world’s working and middle classes to the globalist elites in world history.

Panic selling (and short selling — betting that the market will go down) by institutional investors and hedge funds are contributing to the market crash all over the world. These are the same globalist elites who sent 10 million U.S. factory jobs to China to take advantage of what is essentially slave labor, in order to boost their balance sheets. Now they are panicking and selling off the market. Every market, all over the world. This is no longer just a market correction because the stock market was overbought. This looks to me like a deliberate selloff to crush everyone who invested in the markets.

If it is I want to know who’s behind this. I’m starting to get really mad as my life savings evaporate into thin air. Lots of people are selling, but who’s buying? That’s what I want to know.

Trading must be shut down. Now. It’s irresponsible to keep the markets open and watch as the savings of the world’s workers (blue and white collar) go down the tubes. If this keeps up we’re going to see the death of market economies all over the world. The so-called “leaders” of the Western democracies must stop this market selling insanity, and do it NOW. Close the NYSE until this corona crisis is over. To not do so is to play into the hands of the sociopaths who are wrecking Western economies and democratic societies.

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I don’t have “sources.” I don’t have special information, or talk with experts. I read and listen to publicly available info and use my intuition.

The corona virus is, as I said in the last post, creating a “timeout” for humanity. The virus is another wild card — a completely unexpected event that affects large numbers of people. The virus is man-made, I believe, not a natural transmission from animal to human. It came from experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the only level 4 biolab in China. Corona appeared in Wuhan city sometime in November of 2019. The Chinese Communist Party’s response to the virus was/is the same as the Soviet government’s response to Chernobyl in 1986: denial, coverup, and forced suppression of information, until the incident could no longer be contained. During the Chernobyl incident, a flaw in the design of Soviet reactors (known to the government) led to a containment breach. The reactor went “hot” and spewed radiation all over the place.

Denial, coverup, and suppression are the responses of a totalitarian government. I don’t believe it’s accidental that five years after Chernobyl, in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed.

The four most affected countries so far are China, South Korea, Iran, and Italy. Iran and China are totalitarian states and the numbers coming from these countries aren’t to be trusted, for the above reasons. The number of cases, and the number of deaths, are likely under reported. The other two, Italy and South Korea, have extensive ties to the CCP. The Falun Gong website, Epoch Times, has this to say. The Epoch Times is known for its contacts on the ground within the Chinese government, and often publishes articles based on government documents smuggled out of China.

Outside China, the spread of COVID-19 has been most severe in Italy, Iran, South Korea, and Japan. Not all of these countries are located near China, but all have extensive interests in the PRC.

Italy, the most heavily affected country outside China as of March 10, was the first (and only) G-7 nation to sign onto the PRC’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, also known as One Belt, One Road). In an attempt to prop up its weakening economy, Italy has also sought to capture the Chinese market for selling its luxury goods.

With the outbreak now forcing Rome to put the country under lockdown, such prospects have been put on hold.

Italy also has signed scores of sister-city agreements with China, with the cities of Milan, Venice, and Bergamo included among them. These are the areas hardest-hit by the virus.

In the Middle East, Iran has seen a surge in the number of infections, particularly among government officials.

The Iranian regime has had a comprehensive strategic partnership with China since 2016, and its ties with Beijing began years before that. In violation of international sanctions, Iran has imported embargoed materials from China, while continuing to sell oil to the PRC. The Islamic Republic allowed flights in and out of four major Chinese cities until the end of February.

On-the-ground footage taken by Iranian citizens is reminiscent of the tragedy playing out in Wuhan, with overworked medical staff, despondent patients, and body bags lining hospital floors.

And while official figures released by the Iranian authorities show deaths and confirmed cases trailing behind Italy’s numbers, it is likely that the real scale of the outbreak remains grossly underreported. Reviewing available data, an epidemiologist cited by The Washington Post on March 5 estimated that the actual number of people infected in Iran could have been up to 28,000, nearly five times what the regime had reported.

In South Korea, the public has grown increasingly critical of President Moon Jae-in for refusing to ban Chinese tourists at large and instead only barring entry for those who recently traveled to Hubei Province, the epicenter of the epidemic in China.

More than 1.4 million people have signed a petition to the Presidential Blue House calling for Moon to be impeached. The petition text reads, “Seeing Moon Jae-in’s response to the new epidemic, we feel that he is more of a President for China than Korea.”

In Iran, the senior leadership of the country has been infected. Mohammad Mirmohammadi, a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, died of coronavirus at the beginning of March. Other top officials have contracted the disease, including members of the Iranian Parliament. 70,000 prisoners were released into the population, an acknowledgement that the rulers of Iran haven’t a clue how to contain the virus.

There is debate that the coronavirus spread naturally, from bats sold in a wet market in Wuhan. I don’t think so. This virus was man-made. Here’s an article in Nature from 2015 that has been going around the internet. It shows how such a novel SARS virus could be created in a lab. It is titled, “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”

https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985

Does this prove that a virus was created in a lab and somehow released in Wuhan? Nope. But it’s likely. This was indirectly confirmed by Zhao Lijian, a rising star in the CCP, who blames the U.S. Army for releasing a lab-created virus in Wuhan!

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/coronavirus-chinese-official-suggests-u-s-army-blame-outbreak-n1157826

They used the Nature paper cited above as proof of this claim. Sure. A level 4 biolab exists in the Wuhan City area, but the virus comes from the US.

The Express, a UK paper, published a story on March 7th that contradicts Zhao Lijian and the CCP. It’s title is, “Coronavirus: Experiment gone wrong? Two Wuhan lab leaks exposed by Chinese scientists.” The subheading is,
“CORONAVIRUS may have originated from two labs conducting research on bats just metres away from the epicentre, one of which has experienced two previous cases of SARS outbreaks, a study has found.”

The article states that two Chinese scientists, Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao, published a new paper from the Beijing-sponsored South China University of Technology that casts doubt on the government’s theory.

The paper identified the second possible origin, before making a strong conclusion.

It finalised: “The second laboratory was 12 kilometres from the seafood market and belonged to Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

“This laboratory reported that the Chinese horseshoe bats were natural reservoirs for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) which caused the 2002-3 pandemic.

“The principal investigator participated in a project which generated a chimeric virus using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system and reported the potential for human emergence.

“A direct speculation was that SARS-CoV or its derivative might leak from the laboratory.

“In summary, somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus, the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”

Not even the CCP is bothering anymore to support the propaganda that corona came accidentally from a wet market in Wuhan. The theme now is, “Who released the virus?” This is how suppressive regimes and cliques work. Try one lie. If that doesn’t work, cover it with another lie. When that doesn’t work, invent more lies. When your story collapses, accuse your critics of being “xenophobes” and “racists.” You resort to name calling when you got nothing left.

According to one report I heard, many Chinese now blame the CIA for the virus, and exonerate the Party. Go figure. I am second to none in my contempt for the CIA, a nasty outfit that has sponsored regime change wars and political assassinations of foreign leaders for decades. But let’s apply Occam’s Razor here. The simplest explanation is the most likely. Like the dark army Soviets in Chernobyl, the CCP is trying to blame others for their mistakes.

Here’s a prediction for you, based on nothing but my intuition: The CCP will, like the Soviet Union, collapse. The date? Sometime in 2023. The October Revolution in Russia took place in October 1917, after the Russian people overthrew an oppressive czar. Boris Yeltsin outlawed communism in Russia in 1991. That’s 74 years. Numerologically, 74 reduces to 7 + 4 = 11. 11 is the number for Illumination or Enlightenment. The theme of the number 11 is that darkness is superseded by the light. Mao Tse-tung and his gang of thugs came to power in China in 1949. 74 years from 1949 is 2023. Illumination and freedom will eventually come to the great Chinese people. Just as we in the US are fighting a battle of dark vs light, corruption vs. illumination, so too will many other countries, including Iran. Because the Iranian government is so closely tied to the CCP, the great Persian peoples will eventually also have freedom from their oppressive government. Here in the US our own democratic system of government is collapsing under the weight of corporate corruption and influence peddling. We too will have our enlightenment as the military-industrial complex is exposed to the light of day, and our own human and drugs trafficking networks are uncovered.

The coronavirus is the beginning of a worldwide disclosure. Over the coming weeks, months, and years, the darkness on the planet is going to be exposed. This darkness is intimately connected to the worldwide arms, drugs, and human trafficking networks. The persons behind these dark networks are eventually going to be revealed by courageous whistleblowers. Satanic Ritual Abuse and human trafficking are far more prevalent than we think. Jeffrey Epstein is just the tip of the iceberg.

Coronavirus is making the peoples of the world understand how intimately connected we all are. It is the opening act on a planet that is just beginning to wake up.

What happens when little Susie and little Johnny are screaming at each other? You take them to their rooms for a timeout so that they can cool off and calm down. That’s what the corona virus is doing here in the US. The level of hatred and contention was simply unsustainable. Now we’re in a national timeout. Social separation and self-isolation are the watchwords today. Political rallies, and even debates, are being suspended during the run-up to a national election. People are being told to work remotely. Entire professional and college sports seasons are being canceled. It’s unprecedented, but needed. As a nation, we need a big timeout to calm down and cool off.

What will happen next?

The coronavirus will run its course within the next several weeks and social activity will slowly resume. The markets will recover. During the break, however, I hope that people will look inside and find greater peace. We have to work together, not fight each other.

Gotta love CNN, the mouthpiece of the intel community and the corporate establishment. After Super Tuesday II, with primaries in Michigan, Idaho, North Dakota, Washington, Missouri, and Mississippi, Biden has 787 delegates. Bernie has 647. 1,991 are needed to win.

Headlines on CNN as I write this at 8 a.m. Wednesday March 11:

“Biden Takes Command of Delegate Race”

“Cleveland (CNN)

“Joe Biden is marching to the Democratic presidential nomination.

“The former vice president handily defeated Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in Michigan’s primary — halting the Vermont senator’s hopes of a comeback in the state where he’d stunned Hillary Clinton four years ago.

Biden also notched massive wins in Idaho, Mississippi and Missouri. Sanders won in North Dakota. Washington hadn’t been called yet, but as of Wednesday morning, Biden was in a tight race there with Sanders, another state Sanders needed to win.

Tuesday marked a clear turning point in the Democratic race. Biden is building a powerful coalition of African Americans, suburbanites and rural white voters who previously backed Sanders, while Sanders is failing to produce the electorate-changing turnout of young voters that he’s promised.” [emphasis mine]

“Biden’s massive wins on Super Tuesday II, capped a reversal of fortune.”

Well, at least the latter part of that headline is correct.

I have no love for Bernie; he’s a flake who (by his own admission) doesn’t know how he’s going to pay for his big government programs. Estimates are that Medicare-for-all will cost around 9 trillion or so. Even if the richest 3.4% – those who make over $250,000 per year – have ALL of their income taken for taxes, this will only generate about $3.4 trillion. But come on, Bernie is only 147 delegates behind! Biden needs 1,113 and Bernie needs 1,253. There’s a long way to go.

But if you read these headlines and stories you’d think the race is over already! This is the definition of Fake News. When the DOW fell over 2,000 points last week CNN published huge headlines and several lead stories. The very next day the market rose back 1200 points. Strangely, CNN had no story about that. Not even a small headline at the bottom of the page. Today, March 11, the DOW fell another 1400 points. Front page headlines in huge type on CNN. If the market gains tomorrow, will there even be a story? You’d almost think that CNN wants the economy to fail. Nah, that’s just a conspiracy theory. Sure, CNN has hired several commentators from the intel community (including former CIA Director John Brennan) but you’d have to be a nutcase to assert that the intel community writes CNN’s headlines and their stories.

If I’m Bernie I’m hanging in there. Hell, even Trump is sympathetic. He keeps tweeting that the Dems are stealing the nomination from Bernie.

Of course there are the 700 Superdelegates, who can vote for anyone they want, so maybe the race really is over. Most political commentators say that the remaining states don’t favor Bernie. And there’s those pesky Superdelegates. But CNN never mentions Superdelegates in the article. According to CNN, on March 11th, Biden has won and Bernie has lost. Go figure.

Bernie should stay in until the end. He has a populist base that doesn’t want to give up, even if they don’t always go to the polls.

Conspiracy Theory

Here’s one for you. The coronavirus spreads here in the US. Biden and Sanders have already cancelled campaign rallies in Ohio on March 11. The Task Force led by VP Pence, and the CDC, recommends cancelling all public gatherings over 1,000 people. This shuts down Trump’s major source of momentum and publicity for his base – the rallies he’s been holding since he was elected. Bloomberg has already bought the Democratic party with his billions. He’s got, according to Forbes, something like $55 billion. He’s not running so he can contribute as much as he wants to state parties. This dwarfs the Trump campaign’s measly $200 million. Bloomberg has already spent $600 mil on adverts to get 24 delegates. All he has to do is swamp the country with anti-Trump ads day and night. Trump has no answer for this because he can’t rally his base. The mainstream media will collaborate against Trump’s reelection.

It’s a perfect anti-Trump storm.

Media Spreads Panic

Today the markets are crashing again and the WHO has announced that the coronavirus is officially a pandemic. Mass media are spreading fear all over the world. As I said in a previous post, the same corporate capitalists who moved millions of factory jobs from the US to Asia, seeking cheap CCP slave labor, are the same guys who are panic selling and crashing the markets because their supply chains are broken.

Something very strange has happened in central China. The virus originated in Wuhan. Just before that another outbreak caused the CCP to order the slaughter of half of the country’s pig population.

Even as my savings evaporate I am keeping calm, however. Eventually we’ll find out what the coronavirus is and how it was originally released into the population of Wuhan. Until then I am avoiding large public gatherings and meditating for peace and prosperity. It can’t hurt.

The objectives of the corporate establishment Democrats couldn’t be more obvious at this point. Endorsing the senile Joe Biden is just a ploy to ensure a brokered convention and the selection of someone other than Biden and Sanders. Michelle Obama has already said she doesn’t want to run and is tired of being in the White House after eight years. Who does that leave? Hillary, of course. Her running mate? Warren, Klobuchar, or maybe even Bernie to get the populist vote. Or perhaps Michelle could be persuaded to accept the Vice-Presidency. The idea that Joe Biden will be the eventual Democratic nominee is absurd. The poor guy can hardly string three coherent sentences together. He’s just a temporary delegate collection node to stop Bernie.

The establishment Democrats are weary of Hillary Clinton. The party is desperately looking for a viable candidate to oppose Trump. But the Democrats don’t have anyone who can face off with the junkyard dog. Trump will make mincemeat of Bernie, who is essentially a nice guy. Hillary already failed in 2016, but she’s the only Democrat who can stand up to him. After the first ballot at the Democratic convention, the superdelegates will kick in. These are persons who will vote the establishment/corporate candidate. Bernie won’t have 1991 delegates by July, which is the number necessary to ensure the nomination.

What are the alternatives to Hillary? Rahm Emmanuel? A tough guy for sure, but an unpopular mayor of Chicago. Barack Obama would be the ideal candidate to run against Trump but he can’t serve a third term.

Watch for a wild card at the Democratic convention. It’s either that, or Hillary will be the Democratic presidential nominee.

Watch this vid about SpaceX’s launch of thousands of telecommunications satellites that will surround the globe in near-earth orbit. No, it’s not SkyNet, but fascinating nevertheless. This is a vid by a private engineering company, but it’s worth watching. According to The Drive website,

SpaceX’s potentially game-changing Starlink concept involves launching large volumes of satellites – dozens at a time – that circle the earth providing broadband data-connectivity.”

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32346/the-air-force-and-spacex-are-teaming-up-for-a-massive-live-fire-exercise

One can speculate whether this project is a part of Trump’s newly-created Space Force. Starlink might be an alternative to the 5G technology being pushed by Huawei, ZTE, and the CCP, and the cellular network companies here in the US, which some think may cause health problems for those exposed to the Ka band of signals above 26 Gigahertz.

We, the undersigned scientists, recommend a moratorium on the roll-out of the fifth generation, 5G, until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry. 5G will substantially increase exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF)… and has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment….

While 4G’s wavelengths travel along the surface of the skin, 5G’s millimeter waves are more insidious. When 5G wavelengths are emitted, our skin will automatically absorb them, which will naturally cause the skin to rise in temperature.”

From https://www.gaia.com/article/5g-health-risks-the-war-between-technology-and-human-beings:

Scare tactic? Maybe. But if 5G towers really will have harmful effects, perhaps a satellite 5G network like Starlink, with LNB’s (low-noise block downconverters) would be safer. In this system, satellite signals are received by dishes that then downconvert the high frequency signal into lower frequencies that are less harmful and that can be distributed to the consumer. This would be much safer than 5G microwave towers all over the place. According to user u/WikiTextBot, one of the users in a discussion board of Starlink,

A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building….The LNB… serves as the RF front end of the satellite receiver, receiving the microwave signal from the satellite collected by the dish, amplifying it, and downconverting the block of frequencies to a lower block of intermediate frequencies (IF). This downconversion allows the signal to be carried to the indoor satellite TV receiver using relatively cheap coaxial cable; if the signal remained at its original microwave frequency it would require an expensive and impractical waveguide line.”

Thank you to this user, whoever you are! I found this at https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/enxuyr/starlink_beacon_frequencies/fe6f0is/

Next is a fascinating vid with commentary by a guy who calls himself “ET Database.” This footage is, apparently shot from a camera at the International Space Station. The commentator says it might be “an alien spaceship,” but I don’t buy that. New technology from the hidden programs in the military-industrial complex? Whatever it is, it’s amazing.

The text of the agreement is found at the State Department website, https://www.state.gov/agreement-for-bringing-peace-to-afghanistan/#.Xlpr9-JuAQw.twitter and is titled “Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan.”

The text of the agreement can be found at https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Agreement-For-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdf

The relevant portions of the agreement are quoted below:

PART ONE

The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement, and will take the following measures in this regard:

II A. The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will take the following measures in the first one hundred thirty-five (135) days:

1) They will reduce the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to eight thousand six hundred (8,600) and proportionally bring reduction in the number of its allies and Coalition forces.

2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from five (5) military bases.

B. With the commitment and action on the obligations of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban in Part Two of this agreement, the United States, its allies, and the Coalition will execute the following:

1) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will complete withdrawal of all remaining forces from Afghanistan within the remaining nine and a half (9.5) months.

2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from remaining bases

Of course, this agreement doesn’t guarantee that peace will come to Afghanistan and that all U.S. troops will be withdrawn. But it’s a good start, just like the agreement between North Korea and the US in 2018 at the Singapore Summit, which significantly reduced tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

IMHO those who criticize this agreement are haters and warmongers. Recall that certain media outlets castigated the agreement with North Korea, calling it a sham and that the US had made an agreement with a leader (Kin Jong Un) with a poor human rights record. This criticism was silly because North Korea, as everyone knows, is a proxy state of China. When President Xi sneezes, Kim Jong Un has to cover his head. (It is interesting that since the summer of 2019, when China had its outbreak of “swine flu” that resulted in the destruction of half of the country’s pig population, and soon after that the outbreak of coronavirus, no saber-rattling from North Korea has been heard. Perhaps Xi and the CCP have more urgent things to attend to.)

Trump is the most unlikely of peacemakers, most likely because he’s a businessman and not a politician. He sees an opportunity to save money by getting our troops out of a country known for its internecine warfare between competing Afghan factions. It’s about time! This war has gone on for over 18 years and the expenditure of over a trillion dollars.

I don’t care whether Trump has his heart in the right place or not. Reducing tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in Afghanistan are important advancements for world peace.

It remains to be seen whether haters and warmongers will sabotage the Taliban agreement. But it’s a good first step.

An event of historical significance has occurred with the release of the corona virus in Hubei Province in central China. The origin of the virus is unknown; some say it came from animals (bats) and then jumped to human carriers. Some say it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research institute administered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the only biosafety level 4 laboratory in mainland China, built by the French in 2015, and it is located in Wuhan city. Then there’s this:  https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/

There is evidence that the number of corona cases in China is being under-reported: https://www.theepochtimes.com/leaked-documents-reveal-chinas-shandong-province-faked-coronavirus-infection-data-real-numbers-up-to-52-times-higher_3251354.html

If you know where to look you can see vids of people literally collapsing on the streets of Wuhan from the virus (this occurred last week). There’s a massive effort by the Chinese Communist Party and those who sympathize with them to minimize the impact of the virus. Minimizing the effect of the virus isn’t a bad thing because it prevents people from panicking and co-creating a negative future. But ignoring a problem isn’t a solution.

Let’s just say that the spread of the corona virus is a marker in the battle between dark and light. It’s another wild card, like the election of Trump. A wild card is an unexpected event or situation that affects large numbers of people. As of Feb 25th the virus has spread to 31 countries. In Italy, half of the industrial production of the country is offline now. The Catholic Church has suspended religious rituals throughout the country. Today, Feb 26, A senior CDC official is warning that Americans should prepare for an increase in the spread of the new coronavirus disease. The CDC is distributing test kits to state and local labs. Meanwhile, the number of infections is sharply increasing in Italy, Iran, and South Korea.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-official-warns-americans-prepare-for-community-spread-of-new-coronavirus_3250191.html

The New York Times reports that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan asked all of the country’s schools to close for a month to help contain the spread of the coronavirus.

The purpose of this blog isn’t to alarm anyone. However, when a wild card occurs people should be informed. By the time you read this, hopefully, the spread of the virus will have slowed or halted altogether.

“Tens of thousands of people die in the US every year from the flu,” you say. “Stop spreading propaganda and trying to scare people.”

Well, let’s talk about the economic impact of the virus then. Within the last thirty years, the world economy has gone to globalist “just-in-time” manufacturing, much of it centered in China. Chinese factories have not reopened (yet) after the Chinese New Year because of the corona virus, so supply chains all over the world are being stressed. This is affecting the production of pharmaceutical products like antibiotics, and many other industries. https://www.theepochtimes.com/coronavirus-hits-supply-chains-saps-us-business-activity_3247352.html.

In Italy (at the time of this writing) 50% of the manufacturing base of the country has been shut down due to concerns about the virus. The Catholic Church announced on Feb 24 that religious events throughout the country have been cancelled. Here in Michigan, the state is monitoring over 300 persons. (https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/02/23/hundreds-in-michigan-being-monitored-due-to-coronavirus/ )

The importance of this wild card virus is that even though it is spreading, it has largely affected only one country: China. China is the source and the Chinese people have been most severely affected. China is the last major country in the world with a communist government. As I explained in a previous blog post, communism is simply fascism with another name. The Chinese people have been laboring under this totalitarian system since 1949, as the Russian people did from 1917-1991. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their military enforcement branch, the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) have lost respect within the country, and now in the world, for their attempt to suppress information, to deny that anything was wrong, and their delay in halting the spread of the virus, allowing it to spread outside China.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinas-internal-reports-on-coronavirus-response-our-main-priorities-are-controlling-public-opinion-social-stability_3253554.html

The corona virus could be the beginning of the end for the communist leadership in China. This would be another blow to the dark army on earth.

The emperor, President Xi, may have lost the mandate from heaven. When the virus runs its course and the Chinese people take an assessment of their leadership, the CCP and the PLA may be found sadly wanting in integrity and competence. For China, the effect of the corona virus resembles the periodic, widespread famines that have occurred over the country’s 5,000-year history. The resilient, hardworking people of China understand this.

Could democracy come to this great nation of 1.4 billion, as it is now thriving in the great nation of India, with its 1.2 billion people?  That is an inspiring thought to me. Prime Minister Narendra Modi won the recent election in India with over 600 million votes out of 800 million cast. 800 million votes cast! That is close to three times the population of  the United States. It took weeks for the votes to be counted. Much of it was by hand, on paper ballots, but the votes were tabulated honestly.

Here in the United States, we can learn a lot about democracy from India.

One of the reasons Trump went to India was to cement the relationship between the world’s two greatest democracies. The images and speeches from these meetings between Modi and Trump, and the reception of the U.S. president by the people of India, are inspiring (despite the U.S. media’s complete failure to cover it). Sure, the two leaders signed a military agreement, and the trip was partly for geo-strategic reasons (to counter the influence of China), but the outpouring of love and affinity at these meetings was inspiring. I’m all for anything that advances the cause of world peace – even if Trump is doing it.

One thing is for sure: the global capitalists, who took factories and jobs out of the US and exported them to China (looking for the cheapest labor) are thinking twice about their investments now that their supply chains are being cut. Nothing is more influential to hedge fund managers, bankers, and capitalists than money. Their shortsighted decision over the past 20 years to go for short term profit at the expense of their own people is coming back to bite them.  

The light is winning over the dark, which is being exposed more and more every year.  The spread of the corona virus is shining light on the corrupt practices of corporate capitalism and state-owned corporate communism, both in Asia and in the West. Greed and a lack of humanity, whether it be capitalist or communist, must ultimately fail. Integrity will win the day as the consciousness of humanity slowly rises and people wake up.

2020 is the year when eyes will be opened all across the planet. It’s already begun!
