The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank more than 2,000 points on Monday, its worst day since 2008, as fears about the spread of the new coronavirus and an oil price war sent investors scrambling out of stocks.

Expert: U.S. Hospital Beds Will be Full by May 8 if Coronavirus Spread Continues at Current Rate
An expert has warned that the U.S. will run out of hospital beds by May 8th if coronavirus continues to spread at its current rate.
Liz Specht, the associate director of Science and Technology for the Good Food Institute, cautioned that most people were not aware of the risk of “systemic healthcare failure” from coronavirus because they simply haven’t run the numbers.
Specht, who has a PhD in biology, says to expect a doubling of cases every 6 days.
“We’re looking at about 1M US cases by the end of April, 2M by ~May 5, 4M by ~May 11, and so on. Exponentials are hard to grasp, but this is how they go,” she said.

How Much $$ Will the CDC Profit From a COVID-19 Vaccine?
This is not the first time America has been faced with potentially deadly outbreaks. I’m not trying to downplay the seriousness of this coronavirus strain and how terrible it’s been for those who get it, family, businesses.
But, to keep up the relentless scare tactics by anyone isn’t helping the situation. What we should be doing is common sense: Wash our hands many times during the day with soap and water. Carry a hankie or Kleenex so if you do sneeze or cough it doesn’t blow onto or near someone. Start working on getting your natural immune system ramped up and make it a way of life with your health regime.
Panic buying at the stores isn’t the answer either. Sure, stock up on some things but if your budget allows it, purchase some food storage for a two— week period. Most have a shelf life of 20 years or longer so you’re not out spoiling food…
Just a little history to put things in perspective. 2009 flu pandemic in the United States — “As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died.”
Flu season deaths top 80,000 last year, CDC says, Sept. 27, 2018 — “An estimated 80,000 Americans died of flu and its complications last winter, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means it was the deadliest season in more than four decades — since 1976, the date of the first published paper reporting total seasonal flu deaths, said CDC Spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund.
“In previous seasons, flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of about 12,000 during the 2011-2012 season to a high of about 56,000 during the 2012-2013.Total flu fatalities during the most recent season included the deaths of 180 children, which exceeds the previous record high of 171 during a non-pandemic flu season, according to the CDC.”

Journalist Suspended by Twitter After Exposing Carlos Maza’s Wealth Hypocrisy

New York Post Journalist Censored on Twitter for Exposing Champagne Socialist Carlos Maza
New York Post journalist Jon Levine was locked out of his Twitter account earlier today and forced to delete several tweets in connection to his article exposing the ultra-wealthy background of socialist YouTuber Carlos Maza.
Twitter first locked Levine out of his account this morning, but after inquiries from the journalist and his followers, the platform restored access to his account, claiming that the lockout had been an “error” and that his tweets about Maza did not violate the platform’s policies.
However, later in the day, Twitter changed its mind again, telling Levine that “upon further investigation, these tweets violate our Twitter rules, specifically our private information policy.”

Trump Has Been Sabotaged by the Medical Deep State
The Chinese virus has been treated as just a natural occurrence or unfortunate incident that necessitates that we have to cede more power over our lives to what critics have long called the Medical Deep State. Under pressure from a foreign threat, President Trump has relied on these health care “professionals.” But the result has been stories from the Washington Post about “How the Trump administration lost control of the coronavirus crisis” and the New York Times about how “The Coronavirus Is Coming for Trump’s Presidency.” This is the new narrative designed to bring down Trump.
The President has another option: put the military in charge of the coronavirus response and move quickly to a war footing with Communist China, the source of the outbreak.
Financially, in a major blow to the U.S. capitalist system and the world economy, more than $6 trillion in wealth in global stock markets was erased in one week over fears that the virus has been mishandled and the disease is spreading. China has been hit hard, too, but is able to recover more quickly because its economy and population are under the tight control of the communist dictatorship. It has more than enough people to sacrifice in a war with the West.
Conservative writers such as Matt Margolis note that President Trump was quick to ban travel with China, despite opposition from the U.N.’s World Health Organization (WHO). This was a decisive step. But the U.N. agency had also failed to act quickly to label coronavirus an international health emergency, and U.S. agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) botched the approval and roll-out of reliable tests for the disease. These testing failures have facilitated the spread of the disease and have been seized upon by the media as evidence of Trump Administration incompetence.

Twitter CEO Will Keep His Job in Agreement With New Hedge Fund Investor
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will get to keep his job in an agreement with hedge fund Elliott Management Corp., an investment firm whose major ownership in Twitter was a looming threat to the social media network founder’s position in the company he created.
Elliott was reportedly interested in booting Dorsey from his executive position due to the founder dividing his time between Twitter and Square, another company he co-founded. The management firm allegedly believed Twitter could be better run by a dedicated CEO whose full focus was on the company.

UPS Manager Continues Punishing Drivers for Prayer Meetings
In spite of scrutiny, the United Parcel Service (UPS) Myrtle Beach, SC Center manager is now retaliating against employees who sought to voluntarily pray together before work, in the form of strict application of work “rules” and harassment, in response to attention over the prayer meetings.
After Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter on February 12 to UPS stating that drivers’ prayer meetings must be allowed again, and any participating drivers who have been fired must be reinstated, the parcel service stated that Center Manager Steve Keller would hold a “Prework Communication Meeting” (PCM) to confirm the employees’ right to pray. One driver represented by Liberty Counsel has been rehired.
According to one driver, a PCM finally occurred yesterday in which Keller read “a scripted letter stating UPS does not discriminate against people’s religious freedom off the clock and we are all to follow safety protocols when meeting on the yard.” Meanwhile, Keller continues to harass the employees for complaining about his mistreatment of them for exercising their right to pray before work.
In July 2019, approximately 40 UPS drivers started voluntarily praying together each morning in the parking lot prior to their shifts. The group has since grown to between 50 and 60 drivers. Employees initially reported to Liberty Counsel that Keller told a driver on January 16, 2020 that the drivers “cannot pray anymore on company property because someone else may feel discriminated against.” Then, on January 20, Keller told a second driver that the drivers “could no longer pray on company property because it violates others’ religious rights.” The following week, the drivers met, but did not pray. Some bowed their heads in a simple moment of silence. Since then, several drivers with many years’ experience who regularly participated in the prayer meetings were fired for what appears to be pretextual reasons.
Other UPS employees have contacted Liberty Counsel to share their experiences. For example, Randy Lankford is a pastor and former UPS employee who drove a truck for 28 years. Lankford confirmed the South Carolina drivers’ account regarding Keller. Lankford related that the drivers at the Monroe, NC center started a devotional / prayer time every morning in 2013 before work “to help their morale and calm the chaos that we deal with in many of the drivers’ lives. We always did it on our time, never on company time. This is when the harassment and bullying by Steve Keller started,” said Lankford.

Watching America Becoming Balkanized, But Doing Nothing to Stop It
In Dearborn, Michigan: $50 million complex. 150,000 sq.ft. The largest mosque currently is in Dearborn, Michigan (92,000 sq. ft.) wherein Islam has infiltrated all levels of government and society, taking over businesses and out numbering citizens through higher birth rates. Muslim takeover in Dearborn Michigan. This is unfolding precisely according to the Explanatory Memorandum wherein Silent Jihad is instructed… the only way to stop it is to ban all manifestations of Islam. Nations around the world are recognizing this as the only option. Trying to separate so called progressives (good Muslims) from bad Muslims is impossible. The enormity of such a task is comparable to trying to take a silo filled with salt and sugar and then be instructed to separate the two. It is impossible and Canadian’s must no longer be put in the position to be expected to do so.
“We are under siege by a crafty enemy who is using self-victimization, manipulation and strategically maligning our Charter of Rights to use against us. Islam is not a religion but a dangerous set of political ideologies intending to dominate the World. The burden to protect so called progressive Muslims becomes even more complicated when you consider Taqiya…Muslims directive to lie …as instructed in the Quran, to advance their agenda. We are losing our freedoms and democracy just as we see rapidly unfolding throughout Europe and the UK.”
Dear fellow American, I have traveled through Dearborn, Detroit, Minneapolis, NYC, and Miami. Those Muslims are entering every political race in this country from the lowest to the highest, and they are imbedding into our political infrastructure with a sole purpose of installing Sharia Law.

VICTIMS of a warped social experiment in Germany where authorities deliberately placed troubled kids with paedophile foster parents are set to win compensation.
Between 1969 to 2003, these homeless boys aged between six and 14 were handed over to paedos — because it was thought the vulnerable kids might benefit from their attention.
The twisted logic behind behind the “Kentler experiment”— named after the leading sexologist Helmut Kentler who spearheaded it — was that paedophilia could have “positive consequences”.
Astonishingly, in the late 1960s Kentler managed to persuade West Berlin’s ruling Senate that homeless boys would leap at the opportunity to be fostered by paedophile dads.

Leftist Protester Displays “Sweden Must Die” Sign at International Women’s Day March
A left-wing activist displayed a sign during an International Women’s Day march that said “Sweden must die.”
Let us know how you really feel.
The banner was carried during the protest in Malmö yesterday.
“Not really what the labor movement’s pioneers August Palm and Kata Dalström might have intended,” the Malmölistan party wrote on Facebook in response to the image.
The notion that “Sweden must die” presumably incorporates the demographic obliteration of its native population.
Ethnic Swedes will be a minority in their own country within 40 years, possibly sooner, with 10 per cent on newborn babies in Sweden currently having Islamic names.

Quarantine Order Prompts Mass Panic as Italians Flee Coronavirus-Hit North
Making spread of the virus more likely.
A leaked plan to quarantine northern Italy spectacularly backfired, sending thousands of people into a panic as they tried to flee, potentially making the spread of coronavirus even worse.
The plan to quarantine more than 16 million people, preventing them from leaving the whole of Lombardy, including the financial capital of Milan, prompted a mass evacuation as train stations and other transport hubs were deluged with travelers.
The order was set to take effect on Sunday, but it was leaked late Saturday afternoon by the media, prompting a huge exodus.
Italian virologist Roberto Burioni lamented that the only impact of the quarantine order was to make the situation worse.
“The draft of a very harsh decree is leaked, sparking panic and prompting people to try and flee the [then] theoretical red zone, carrying the virus with them,” he wrote on Twitter. “In the end, the only effect is to help the virus to spread. I’m lost for words.”

MbS Widens Purge: Dozens of Royals and Army Officers Swept Up After Powerful Princes Arrested

The pair, which happen to be the kingdom’s top most powerful royals aside from MbS, having both in the past been in charge of Saudi armed forces and intelligence in the post of Interior Minister, were arrested for allegedly plotting a coup to unseat the king and crown prince. Of course any level of evidence was not forthcoming. Treason could bring the death penalty.

Islamist Couple Held for is-CAA Protest Link With Planning of Suicidal Blasts: Delhi Police
A lot of jihad literature has been recovered from their possession, some of which reportedly announce a Gajwa-e-Hind (ultimate Islamic conquest of India) to convert India as an Islamic State after huge killing of Hindu-Kaffirs and their leader Indian PM Naredra Modi.
Upendra Bharti | HENB | Delhi | March 9, 2020:: On March 2, investigating journalist Vicky Nanjappa revealed ‘A hand of ISIS Behind Anti-CAA protests & Riots in Delhi!’
Though many quarters in the secular media wanted to depict that ISIS hands in anti-CAA protests and anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, as concoction, conjecture of otherwise exaggeration, now a recent arrest in Delhi is to confrim the right thing at least.
A couple from Kashmir, accused of links with the ISIS unit of Khorasan module, has been detained by the police from south Delhi, police sources said. Sources said they were planning a suicide attack in Delhi and inciting young Muslim men to conduct terror strikes.
The sources also said, the arrested couple had a big role in engineering the protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The Delhi Police ‘s special cell is now interrogating the arrested Muslim couple to get more planning in their Islamist agenda.
A lot of jihad literature has been recovered from their possession, some of which reportedly announce a Gajwa-e-Hind (ultimate Islamic conquest of India) to convert India as an Islamic State+ after huge killing of Hindu-Kaffirs+ and to kill Hindu leader Indian PM Naredra Modi+ in a very ghastly manner.
The couple under arrest were found to be in direct touch with senior ISIS-Khorasan Province members abroad.
The police source also hinted multiple connection of the arrested couple with many of Hyderabad, Kerlala, Assam and WB based Islamic organizations and Islamic Political parties.
The police are scanning and scrutinizing their mobile phones and bank accounts for getting more details and efforts are to nab other members of this module active in India.

Hundreds of North Korean soldiers have reportedly died from the coronavirus — and thousands of others are being quarantined.
But the secretive nation’s leaders are sticking to the official narrative that the global epidemic has not reached them.
According to Daily NK, a South Korean news organization, the COVID-19 virus killed 180 North Korean soldiers in January and February and has sent another 3,700 into quarantine. And according to South Korea’s government-backed Yonhap News Agency, North Korea quarantined almost 10,000 people over coronavirus fears but released nearly 4,000 because they didn’t present symptoms.
But the North Korean government line hasn’t changed. The cloistered nation has remained stubbornly resistant to providing transparent information about the reported outbreak in the country.

Pandemic Strategist: Coronavirus is “Most Frightening Disease I’ve Ever Encountered”
70% Of the world could become infected; “War is an appropriate analogy”
A prominent pandemic expert has warned that “50 — 70 percent of the global population” could become infected with the coronavirus, and that it is “the most frightening disease” he’s ever seen.
Dr. Richard Hatchett, one of the authors of the CDC’s National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan, told the UK’s Channel 4 that “war is an appropriate analogy” for the battle against the virus, which he sees as more serious than influenza, Ebola, MERS, and SARS.
Hatchett, who is currently the head of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations said that the seriousness of the disease cannot be overstated “because of the combination of infectiousness, and a lethality that appears to be many-fold higher than the flu.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pressed the European Union on Monday for more help caring for Syrian refugees after EU officials accused him of “blackmail” for waving migrants through to Europe.
Thousands of migrants have massed at Turkey’s land border with EU-member Greece since Erdogan’s government made good on a longstanding threat and announced it would no longer prevent migrants from crossing.

Below you will see a video which clearly depicts economic migrants, most of whom are fighting-age males, who are not Syrian’s fleeing war, but who are migrants from various countries throughout the Middle East and Africa who say themselves that they are looking to travel to Germany because the state will provide them with free food, shelter, and money.

On Sunday, March 8th, people around the world — both from the left and right sides of the political spectrum — celebrated International Woman’s day, only for different reasons.
Tove Wiberg, member of the Young Swedes — the Youth organization of the populist Sweden Democrats — sent a message to the Swedish public over Facebook:
“Today it is International Woman’s Day. We want to raise awareness of the real problems against gender equality in the country. The debates on gender equality are often reduced to symbolic issues, like quotations and gender certification. This is not what real gender equality is for us. For us, real gender equality is about fighting sexual abuse, honour violence, and female genital mutilation,” she Wilberg says.

“UPS Manager Continues Punishing Drivers for Prayer Meetings” no, the manager is right. It’s ok that they do it before their shift, but they shouldn’t do it on the company’s property. Nobody would care if they met outside the property and prayed. Hence they are responsible if they get in trouble with their boss.
“UK: Petition to Release Secret Govt Report on Grooming Gangs Smashes 80,000 in Days” This is great! It’s already past 100k now! They should aim for a little more in case someone signed twice by accident, but it’s clearly a topic people are interested in. The question is: how public will the decision be? It needs to gain momentum in order to make a difference in the long run!
“German politicians, artists, journalists, and asylum lobbyists, under the mottos “Refugees Welcome” and “We have space”, are using the crisis at the Greek-Turkish border to demand even more migrants for Germany and Europe.” Well what’s the problem? I’d be all for putting twenty migrants into the home of each of said activist, all the care and pocket money for them being paid for by the activists as well. We could do that, right? They would also be legally responsible for whatever the migrants do. It would be just like having a dog and the best treatment for this sort of activism.

Even if they do that and the invader kills the activit’s sister after raping her, she would “recover in one week” .

The anti male new manly girlie diversity type demo mockery democracy can’t handle the real world. “Human Rights” and unjustified insistence on behaving as usual (football matches, racing, demos etc) got in the way. Not going unnoticed by the party loving alligators at the expense of the kufar. So far nobody seems to have noticed – kinda.
