therefore presumably useful) Internet reports on the rapidly spreading
Coronavirus pandemic:
The Latest: White House, media to coordinate on virus PSAs
Beware a new era of Josef-Goebbels-type censorship, now that Madison Avenue (the Advertising Council) will be supervising the production of propaganda. Remember: U.S. Mainstream Media is in fact the privately owned, for-profit successor to Goebbels' infamous Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

Sick staff fueled outbreak in Seattle-area care centers
Again we see how Neoliberalism is premeditated murder -- this time premeditated mass murder by the intentionally deadly denial of paid sick leave that is vectoring the coronavirus.

Hospitals fear shortage of ventilators for virus patients
Again, Neoliberalism as premeditated mass-murder -- in other words, deliberate genocide. Such is the infinite Evil of our morally imbecilic Masters.

US military's role in response to virus outbreak is growing
Be aware of the probability our Neoliberal Masters will, in keeping with their shock-doctrine opportunism, parlay this pandemic into permanent U.S. dictatorship, complete with forcible civilian disarmament to guarantee a population rendered eternally impotent by its reduction to the same mandatory pacifism (and thus compulsory victimhood) that effectively enslaved most of the peasantry and proletariat of post-Roman Europe for nearly 1400 years -- that is, until the revolutions of 1848. Best defense? Make certain -- whenever you are able -- to read every word of the virus-emergency legislation for just such fine-print horrors.

because Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee is proving himself a national
model for prompt and effective coronavirus response -- this despite his
ongoing membership in Biden's murderously Neoliberal Democratic (sic)
Party. (With additional kudos for anti-virus leadership to Rep. Laurie
Jinkins, the Democrat who is deputy director of the Tacoma/Pierce Health
Department and the Speaker of the House in the legislature at Olympia.)

Self-explanatory -- and yet another indictment of Neoliberalism as mass murder.

China Locked in Hybrid War with US
Let us fervently hope this does not escalate into open warfare -- not the least because no nation that has outsourced its entire industrial capacity in the name of greed is capable of even minimal self-defense without resorting to thermonuclear weapons and the resultant destruction of the planet.

Five countries with the world’s biggest gold reserves
Relevant because the flight to gold (and thus its skyrocketing price) is one of the most reliable yardsticks by which to measure our Masters' estimate of the magnitude of the impending collapse. Gold and silver soar in value as global confidence in paper currency declines. Also: given persistent and notably credible rumors Russian biologists discovered the missing Tsarist gold while exploring the great depths of Lake Baikal, Russia may actually be atop the list.

I BELIEVE THE other obligations that could make Dispatches
as tardy as it was last night are behind me. These are all
for-my-beneficiaries tasks, with many yet to complete, but no more that
could expand -- as yesterday's did -- from what I estimated would take
maybe 30 minutes at the most to the more than seven hours it actually
required. (For more Dispatches, go here.)
