Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Posts that I especially recommend today: Saturday, March 21, 2020

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Covert coronavirus infections could be seeding new outbreaks by Jane Qiu from Nature.

The Show Must Go On. Event 201: The 2019 Fictional Pandemic Exercise [World Economic Forum, Gates Foundation et al.] by Cory Morningstar from Wrong Kind of Green. (Note: Morningstar reports on an exercise conducted by the Empire's real decision-makers (the rich and financiers whom we are all indebted to) and government leaders who are essentially their employees that carry out their directives in various governments of the capitalist US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Coincidence?

The fictional pandemic exercise titled Event 201 was a high level simulation exercise that took place on October 18, 2019, at The Pierre, a luxury hotel in Manhattan NY. High-level global participants gathered to explore ideas as to how to mitigate devastating worldwide economic and societal impacts that would result from “a severe, highly transmissible intercontinental outbreak”. [Source] The exercise was built around a fictionalized CAPS virus, a naturally occurring coronavirus (not unlike SARS or MERS) which originated in bats, but for the fictional exercise, it had emerged from pigs.

The event was held by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

To help you to decide at least tentatively, you should also read an article by F. William Engdahl entitled "Coronavirus, Vaccines and the Gates Foundation" from Global Research.)

COVID19: Global Fascist Lockdown or Catalyst of a Radical Paradigm Shift? Gilbert Mercier Speaks on Collapse Chronicles. (Note: The interview with Mercier (French) was conducted by Sam Mitchell of Collapse Chronicles", a YouTube channel hosted by Mitchell. The actual verbal interview on YouTube follows the heavily edited transcript of the interview posted on News Junkie Post.)

Why Assume There Will Be a 2020 election? General Butler and the ‘Wall Street Putsch’ Revisited by Matthew Ehret from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: Ehret, educated in Canada, knows the history of fascism far better than nost Americans. US schools, and people "educated" in these schools, are subject to revised history that suits the interests of the ruling capitalist class. Although FDR saved capitalism that is controlled by mostly sociopathic people, he was a moral human being that abhorred the suffering of working men and women.

Expert: US sanctions on Iran, Venezuela during pandemic could be genocidal by Aaron Maté who interviews an expert regarding US sanctions. From The Grayzone.
