WASHINGTON (AP) — Top Trump administration officials and congressional leaders struggled Monday to finalize a nearly $2 trillion economic rescue package as the coronavirus crisis deepened, even as President Donald Trump seemed to suggest he had qualms about extending the current 15-day suggested shutdown.

“I didn’t expect to be starting off my week with such a dire message for America,” Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on “CBS This Morning,” as he warned the numbers will grow get worse this week. “Things are going to get worse before they get better. We really need everyone to understand this…and lean into what they can do to flatten the curve.” Continue reading “Hill talks continue as Trump appears to waffle on shutdown”

Courtesy of BIG newsletter author and monopoly researcher, Matt Stoller, here is an ever expanding list of every industry and entity that has floated bailout demands in what Stoller dubs the “CoronavirusCoup” – which if allowed to continue will make America’s big business bigger and more entrenched than ever, and crush most of the country’s small business.  Why? Because from Defense contractors, to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, to meatpackers and the beer industry, everyone wants a piece, and thanks to their lobby connections and political bribes, they will get it.

There is a local issue in this campaign that has just recently surfaced. An anonymous flier has circulated all over this Congressional District.  It reads:

“The Big Banks launder $500 billion a year offshore in political bribes. That is according to Asia Times magazine. And a trillion dollars a year in illegal drugs and weapons are laundered through those same banks. This level of corruption is so deep that it has allowed tens of trillions of dollars to have been stolen from federal funds which is to say from the taxpayers. And we are not allowed to audit federal accounts to demand restitution because we don’t have a Congressman. You have a man who represents Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. And this Congressman despises you. He wants to cut your wages and pensions in half. And he wants the working class to pay even more for rent.” Continue reading “Your 2020 Congressional Campaign Stump Speech”

Covid 19 Response Platform

COVID19 RESPONSE PLATFORM – This whole website and platform are dedicated to gathering, preserving and sharing the truth about the real, but hidden, COVID-19 agendas (#RealCOVID19).

Instead of sharing and paying attention to the information that we present, information that will actually save lives and protect people’s freedom and rights, the news media and its ignorant audiences are indulging themselves in smearing and dehumanizing those people who refuse to comply with the de facto world government’s COVID-19 dictatorship. This, eventually, is one of the reasons why we have slipped into stage 6 of the 9 stages of genocide. Look it up. Do something that is actually useful during your imprisonment in the world’s first global open prison system – COVID-19 lockdown.

Brain training is big business, with companies like BrainHQ, Lumosity, and Cogmed. But does what they offer actually benefit your brain?

Researchers don’t believe so. In fact, the University of Illinois determined that there’s little or no evidence that these games improve anything more than the specific tasks being trained. Lumosity’s maker was even fined $2 million in 2016 for false claims. Continue reading “The Benefits of Playing Music Help Your Brain More Than Any Other Activity”

The current coronavirus disease, Covid-19, has been called a once-in-a-century pandemic. But it may also be a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco.

At a time when everyone needs better information, from disease modelers and governments to people quarantined or just social distancing, we lack reliable evidence on how many people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or who continue to become infected. Better information is needed to guide decisions and actions of monumental significance and to monitor their impact. Continue reading “A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data”
