Thanks Eeyore, Brad. Your broadcasts will be increasingly looked to for maintaining our center of gravity in a chaotic period.
Keep the lights on.
Ps, the quality was noticeably better, I think.
Yes.
I think all of us are becoming so exhausted from trying to relay the message of ‘Nothing good in Islam’ and ‘Nothing good with the CCP’ in our lands, but we must not abandon.
I spoke with a guy today at the grocery story for some 45 minutes, a total stranger. It turned out he’s a Jehovah Witness. Much of what he said made sense.
Between what I informed him of and what he had to say, the picture was complete.
Trials and tribulations.
I agree with everything you said.
Military interventions are inevitable. The question will be whether the government imposing such draconian measures is friend or foe to its people. Leftist governments in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Sweden, etc will probably piggy-back power grabs on this crisis. Patriotic, nationalist countries hopefully offer benign leadership to navigate through it. When this is over the geopolitical landscape will look different. I wonder what changes Uncle Vlad and Xi have on their agenda while opportunity knocks?

Yes military intervention in Europe and probably other areas is inevitable just as going back to the idea of real politic is inevitably going to return. We are currently seeing the beginning of the Turkish invasion of Europe and as the Wuhan Flu increases its hold on various regions in Europe Erdogan is going to increase the pressure on the Europeans to peacefully surrender. Some time last week (I think) there was a report that the police in one European nation had arrested some invaders with a stash of heavy infantry weapons. Those are battle weapons not terror weapons so someone is thinking of heavy fighting inside the big cities.
Not only will the political landscape be changed in the next couple of decades (possibly several times) the maps of the nations will change as national borders shift and some nations devolve while others are formed.
I will also predict that this is just the first of several bio weapons that will be used in the future, probably the fairly near future. It doesn’t matter if the Wuhan Flu was accidentally or deliberality released it is out and running wild in several areas. This has shown a lot of wanna be conquers that a bio weapon can be used to weaken the enemy and can be denied. Bio Weapons are the poor mans nuclear weapons, they don’t cost as much to develop, they don’t take the massive infrastructure to develop and build and it is harder to prove where they came from. For people who don’t care about human lives (and most of our enemies but internal and external don’t) bio weapons are probably going to end up being their WMD of choice.
What changes do Uncle Vlad and Winne the Poo have in mind? Nothing that people who love freedom will like. The only possible silver lining in this dark cloud is that if the experts are right and China is facing one or more new waves of the flu the CCP may lose control of China.
You bet they will. From implanting chips to abolishing cash. They are so eager it shows. Blast them.
Unlike HIV, where a faithful partner without a promiscous or drug-addled past would generally suffice, Covid-19 is very easy to catch wherever smoking has been banned.
“The World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11 declared COVID-19 a pandemic, pointing to the over 118,000 cases of the coronavirus illness in over 110 countries and territories around the world and the sustained risk of further global spread.

The new coronavirus can live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for as long as two to three days, tests by U.S. government and other scientists have found.
Their work, published Wednesday, suggests that the virus can spread through the air as well as from touching things that were contaminated by others who have it, in addition to direct person-to-person contact.”

Why do you say where smoking has been banned?
My guess is because the smokers go outside to smoke and all congregate around one location where there is a receptacle for the cigarette buts.
Smokers are banned from restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, theaters, trains, busses, airports, hotels…

The germ theory had not yet been discovered when the Europeans gave native Americans small pox contaminated blankets. Europeans had no idea that their blankets could infect an entire population.
Thank you for pointing this out, not all actions that cause massive numbers of deaths had evil intent.
They knew.
Not germ theory per se, but the concept of contagion goes way back. The Bible describes principles of contagion that require periods of separation to contain potentially infectious diseases.
The concept of contamination appears in classic Greek and Roman texts: it’s the miasma emitted from diseased persons and everything they touch. Burn it all up!
PLAGUE AS A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1200711/?log$=activity
Although plague was widespread in ancient and medieval times, several outbreaks occurred following the deliberate use and propagation of this disease. During the second plague pandemic, which swept through Europe, the Near East, and North Africa in the 14th century, plague was deliberately used as a weapon during military conflicts. During the siege of Caffa, a well-fortified Genoese-controlled seaport (now Feodosia, Ukraine), in 1346, the attacking Tartar force experienced an epidemic of plague….
The Tartars [TARDS], however, converted their misfortune into an opportunity by hurling the cadavers of their deceased into the city, thus initiating a plague epidemic in the city. An outbreak of plague followed, forcing a retreat of the Genoese forces. This major incident is described by Gabriel de Mussis, a notary born in Piacenza north of Genoa … This technique was repeated with various “success rates” during the next centuries.…
SMALLPOX
Variola virus, the cause of smallpox, has been with us since our first agricultural communities. The disease’s ancient mark—a disfiguring pox—is preserved on Egyptian mummies. Smallpox toppled empires from the Roman to the Aztec. The Spanish explorer Cortez, conqueror of the Aztecs, said of the smallpox epidemic, “A man could not put his foot down unless on the corpse of an Indian.”1
The British proposed that smallpox could be used as a deliberate agent of warfare: in 1793, they suggested grinding up scabs from infected people into blankets, to be given to disaffected subjects of the British Empire.2
