Coronavirus Daily Information Update: 24 March 2020

HERE ARE TODAY'S links  to what seem the most reliably informative and therefore (presumably) useful Internet reports on the rapidly spreading Coronavirus pandemic:

Most vital reports of the day:
Scroll down to the 12th graf to learn how at least eight million U.S. citizens are on our Masters' enemies lists and will be disappeared. 

Military, Trump administration ready plans for domestic crackdown as virus spreads across US
From the report: "a senior military planner working on coronavirus but not authorized to speak on sensitive planning matters [...] says that deployment of federal troops in support roles is being prepared," including to conduct traffic stops, home searches and seizures and arrests. Note that "home searches and seizures" could include not only confiscation of all real or potential weapons but -- given the ChristoNazi Regime's anti-marijuana fanaticism  -- confiscation of, and arrest for possession of, all the (still-federally outlawed) medical marijuana upon which such a huge number of opiate-denied chronic-pain victims are now forced to depend. Too -- given the Regime's even more fanatical hatred of women and female sexuality -- such raids might also be used to confiscate all birth-control devices and criminalize all unwed women who possess them, thereby fulfilling still more of our Masters' ChristoNazi objectives. Thus -- by such mass arrests -- could the Regime give its plutocratic owners the ultimate "gift" of permanently enslaving millions of U.S. citizens for brutally hard, typically deadly labor, thereby granting our Masters' wish of exterminating "surplus workers" while following the German Nazis' model of amassing unlimited profits from mass murder. 


From the Associated Press:

AP FACT CHECK: Trump claims rising suicides if US stays shut
Another courageous chapter in the epic Associated Press battle against the Big Lies spouted by those Nazis in the White House.


Virus briefings are the new campaign rallies for Trump
More of the superb AP reporting most of the Mainstream Media Propaganda Machine refuses to disseminate.


Out of vital medication, US woman among those stuck in Peru
Comprehensive report including global pandemic statistics.


From other sources:

Cuba's Coronavirus Response Is Putting Other Countries to Shame
In contrast to the sneering ecogenocidal sadism of Neoliberal Capitalism, Cuban socialism truly is our only demonstrably humane and humanitarian alternative. Which is precisely why our Masters are so hateful toward it. 


FOCUS: Trump Won't Order Vital Coronavirus Supplies Because Corporate CEOs Asked Him Not To
No surprise here; once again we witness our Masters' ecogenocidal intent coming to fruition in this pandemic.

A potentially deadly horror to which Moron Nation's most brazenly misogynistic Regime ever has no response beyond  a shrug of its White Male Supremacist shoulders and maybe a whispered but triumphantly sneering "tough luck."

Wilderness trails are often way too narrow for maintaining mandatory social distances. And the campgrounds -- even in normal times -- are no less petrie dishes than kindergarten playgrounds or the public areas of senior housing.
 
The shock doctrine -- weaponization of the crisis -- in typically genocidal Neoliberal action.

Given how Moron Nation youth are defying the quarantine -- and cackling like Hillaries as they maliciously cough their "Boomer Remover" germs into nearby elders' faces  -- Martial law is probably inevitable.
 
More forcible civilian disarmament by any other name, in this instance by Oberst-Gruppenführer Bezos; hence no more Amazonian resupply -- not for the foreseeable future -- for firearms owners, ammunition dealers and gunshops.

All the virus news Bezos deems fit for WaPo to print.

Vital picture of the barbarian United States as viewed  from the perspective of a 5,000-year-old civilization.
 
Punishing America's Enemies, by Philip Giraldi
How the United States rules by German Nazi methodology -- that is, by inflicting death, pain and terror.

Is “COVID-19” Donald's “Weapons of Mass Destruction?”
How the Regime is methodically destroying the federal government -- and therefore the United States itself --  on behalf the (neo-Confederate) Moronic Majority.
 
Covid-19 has exposed just how broken American economy & society are – a $2 trillion package alone won’t fix it
Fulfilling their murderous greed, our Neoliberal Masters outsourced U.S. manufacturing to lowest-wage and slave-labor nations; now We the (real) People are murdered by their obscene affluence -- slain by skyrocketing drug and medical-supply shortages that could end up murdering more of us than are killed by the virus itself.

WORKING HARD TOWARD restoring that 22:00 PDT (10 p.m.) deadline. Meanwhile the volume of news and the reading-time required to ferret out the most relevant stories -- especially those most likely to be censored by local media -- increases daily. Indeed it is becoming the equivalent of a full-time job -- without pay, of course. Today I started work at 16:30PDT; tomorrow I will start at 15:00PDT and maybe -- just maybe -- have everything posted seven hours later. In any case, thank you for your patience; despite my 55-plus years in journalism, doing this sort of reporting on a computer rather than on a typewriter is a new experience; it is indeed the most difficult, endlessly frustrating, often infuriating struggle I've ever experienced in this line of work. That's because -- for me at least -- computers are (and will forever remain) truly alien technology:  anti-Newtonian, anti-intuitive and eternally incomprehensible.

May all of you stay healthy and stay alive.
