Denied Food by Virus Lockdowns, Urban Rats Turn Cannibal, Eat Their Babies. Are They Giving Us a Glimpse of Our Own Future?
I
LEAD WITH THIS item because one of the stories our ever-more-censored
medis is NOT reporting is how close to collapse the food-supply-chain
might be due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Obviously, as this report
describes, the urban rats' food chain -- 24/7 access to restaurant
garbage -- has already collapsed. And the human food-supply-chain is
unquestionably in dire jeopardy. To learn more -- including about how
packs of rats are now warring with one another -- go here.

Are Fascists Targeting the Homeless Community's Care Providers?
WHAT
IS SURELY THE oldest intelligence-analysis axiom on this planet tells
us "once is coincidence, twice is suspicious, three times is enemy
action." Once was last Friday when a Miami cop handcuffed a Miami doctor
-- an MD who volunteered his time to test homeless people who feared
they might have fallen victim to the COVID-19 plague; the story didn't
go national until African-American media picked it up yesterday. Twice
was a (paywall censored) story disclosed how the Washington state city
of Puyallup had banned a Puyallup nurse
-- an RN -- from preparing breakfast for 60 homeless persons and
otherwise providing them volunteer services. Coincidence? Or will
subsequent incidents herald the emergence of a campaign by the nation's
fascists -- and Puyallup is very much a fascist town -- to maximize the
homeless-encampment death rate by prohibiting or harassing and otherwise
discouraging anyone who might dare provide such voluntary services?
(Obviously I don't know, but given the present-day magnitude of the
fascist threat abroad and the ChristoNazi threat here at home, I do know
it is a possibility we cannot dismiss and against which we must be
always watchful.)

TASS Russian News Agency
Just as Propagandamaster Bezos' WaPo gives us the Predatory Plutocrats' perspective, so does this site -- formerly Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (Телегра́фное аге́нтство Сове́тского Сою́за, Telegrafnoye agentstvo Sovetskogo Soyuza) -- give us, in English, the often-radically different Russian government's perspective. (It's history, dating from 1904, makes interesting reading for mediaphyles.) Updated often.

Coronavirus Updates from The Washington Post Listed
last because -- as applies to anything originating from
Propagandamaster Bezos's domain -- we should never forget how he
protects himself and his fellow predatory plutocrats with vindictive
self-censorship1 and warmongering lies.
Indications of the pandemic's true magnitude and consequences:
US: Hospitals Get Paid $13K to List Patients as COVID-19 and $39K to Put Them on a VentilatorWith thanks to William Boardman for sending the link.
Vast majority of tax provision in coronavirus law goes to millionaires, JCT findsSometimes WaPo resorts to real journalism (I).
Other pandemic-related indications and/or questions:
With thanks to William Boardman for sending the link.
Donald J. Trump's name will be on stimulus checks in unprecedented moveSometimes WaPo
resorts to real journalism (II). Might this malicious delay prompt a
nationwide awakening that could make Trump the most despised president
in U.S. history?
Censorship and disinformation (including countermeasures):
China didn't warn public of likely pandemic for 6 key days
AP unleashes their formidable investigative staff -- but how many local outlets will air or publish their deservedly legendary work?

the President a Deep-State confidential informant? If so, are his
ecogenocidal policies then an accurate reflection of our real Masters'
true intent? Held over for its weekend-reading potential. With thanks to
Sioux Rose for the link -- and my apology for neglecting to credit her
when I first posted this yesterday.
The Normal Economy Is Never Coming BackCOVID-19 is now acknowledged as having flung human society into "the steepest freefall ever." Held over.
A Family’s Fetid Week With CoronavirusHeld
over because it is the most outspoken, most emotionally honest, most
implicitly life-supportive and by far the best reporting I have read in many
years. Indeed, Reyhan Harmanci is a writer whose talent I'd have
recognized with a full-time general-assignment staff-job (way, way) back
when "editor" was the key part of my job-title. (For more of her work,
click on her "Family's Fetid Week" byline.)
Important stuff to bear in mind:(All

us now and what they might intend to do to us in the future.)
‘Collateral Murder’ and the My Lai MassacreVital to understanding why the U.S. government's response to the deadly Covid-19 pandemic is genocidal rather than protective.

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." Scroll to Footnote2 to learn what atrocities could thus be inflicted on us.

Avenger Planet: Is the Covid-19 Pandemic Mother Nature's Response to Human Transgression?
Excellent question -- though as a (solitary-practice) Gaian Pagan, I would cite the scientific hypothesis that bears the Earth Goddess' name and answer "almost certainly yes." (One of the innumerable reasons the ChristoNazis so despise us is the majority of our beliefs are based on science -- the ultimate terminator of all patriarchal religion.)

Handling mail amid coronavirus: Low risk but wash your handsMy
practice is to assume everything from outside is potentially
contaminated, hence I wash my hands thoroughly after handling any
incoming packages and sanitize any surface upon which they might have
rested or been unwrapped.
_________________
1As to what prompts my sudden skepticism of virus coverage by The Washington Post, note how quickly Bezos or one of his zero-tolerance subordinates imposed paywall censorship on this pivotally important 20 March story (scroll down to "U.S. intelligence reports"), which for only a very few short minutes appeared as part of WaPo's
non-paywalled daily virus report. Pretending to be real journalists
rather than the Regime's scribes -- a mental downgrading inflicted as
much by the clerical drudgery necessitated by computers as by the chief
Josef-Goebbels-wannabee Bezos himself -- is a form of moral imbecility I
cannot abide.
2Be aware 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
illegal) 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 the PPs' ChristoNazis 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.
