Re: If mask mandates are justified by people “testing positive” for coronavirus, they will NEVER end… because the tests will never stop reporting fake “cases”

MARYDBROWN — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 21:49:08 -0000

I go on my daily walks, everyday, and like you I can tell the idiots and the fools by those wearing the "cloth covering" in a wide open park. It is 90% of the people.

I go out of my way to physically look at each person, wearing a "cloth covering." I try to make eye contact. Most of them refuse to look at me. And many just veer away from me, in fright.

In a normal world, this would be funny. But we are not in a normal world, and this is frightening. This moronic adherence to "authority."

"Promote zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D to the population. Begin ramping up government-funded manufacturing of zinc supplements to be given away for free to the entire population. Zinc blocks the replication of viruses and is widely documented by the NIH and others."

Well, finally, a rational response from the "Health Ranger." He should have been saying this 2 months ago.

But in the rest of the article it is just not what is happening.

To repeat, ad nauseum, in WA state the total deaths as of 4/10/20, 475. Which is just old people, dying.

I'm old; 65. I will be dead soon. Meaning that I have way more years behind me then I have ahead.

Although, my D3 level is 84, I walk 4 miles/day. I am not obese. I don't have asthma or diabetis. Or sick from any number of what they call, "co-morbidities. "

Those are the people dying from this CoVOID-19.

These people would die, anyway.

There is no reason to shut down the country, for this.

I can just report what I am seeing here, with my own eyes, in the State of Washington. I live in Kirkland, WA.

Washington state had the first COVID-19 patient. On January 22, 2020 at Evergreen Hospital, in Kirkland, WA, a suburb of Seattle. He was treated and recovered. He had recently returned from Wuhan, China.

Then, days later, a nursing home, the Life Care Center in Kirkland, WA had cluster of infections/deaths. At least 35 deaths, probably more.

Since then? I have been keeping track of the official government statistics; As of tonight, April 9, there has been 446 deaths, in the state of Washington. Out of 9,608 that have tested positive. For some reason, this government web site is no longer reporting the number of negative tests; but this was last reported on April 4 as 83,391.

But just keep in mind, they are only testing people that are currently exhibiting symptoms, have traveled overseas, or have been exposed to someone that has the COVID-19.

But still, the WA governor, Jay Inslee, has closed down the state of WA until May 4, 2020.

This is totally irrational.

I found this podcast very compelling. Alex Epstein, continually referred back to the concept of basic freedom.

By today, April 7, 2020 all freedom in the USA is curtailed. And as was noted in this podcast, I have a few of my Facebook "friends," Progressives, demanding that the governor of WA shut down the state.

And so Jay Inslee did. The state is shut down, until May 4. The schools shut down until September.

But as of today, the total death count in the state of WA is 394. The population of WA state is 7.5 Million.

The other important point that Epstein made, the government is literally, stealing days from our lives. We are not here all that long. If we have to hover in our houses, we are not living.

I'm wondering how much longer the sheeple will continue to submit.

Goat Milk Stuff charges from $12 for a 1 oz spray bottle to $65 for a 16 oz refill bottle for their hand sanitizer.

This is all hand made on their goat farm; seems reasonable to me.

Made in America.

I agree with everything you said. Especially this:

"We are going to have to wait for a total shock to the system, (which this pandemic just may create)."

This pandemic has created this. As Schiff and many others have said, this coronavirus has pricked the bubble.

It may appear that the government shutdown of the economy has caused this widespread economic crisis. And it has. But it is not the cause, it is the excuse. This Bubble Economy was going down, anyway.

The state actors, all over the world just latched on to it, so they would not blamed, for the crash.

I live in Kirkland, WA, near Seattle. The very first COVOID-19 death, was here. The Press was all over Kirkland. But by tonight? there are 284 deaths. In a state of 7.6 Million people.

There are no reporters in Kirkland, anymore.

Yet the Idiot Inslee has shut down the state.

And the idiots on NextDoor Cheer!

But the reason for all of us Libertarians to stay true to our beliefs, especially the Professors that you disdain will have the right ideas.

When the government has failed the idiots. And they will look for something else.

Re: Ep. 1620 The Economics of the Shutdown

MARYDBROWN — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 23:23:24 -0000

Here is an excerpt from an email that I received, today, from Goat Milk Stuff; where I buy all of my soap and my laundry detergent, although they offer so much else:

"Custom Hand Sanitizers. In January, we discontinued our hand sanitizers. With the onset of the pandemic, people repeatedly asked us to bring them back. We have done so as custom orders. These are made individually for you as you order and are available in 1oz spray bottles, 4oz refill bottles, and 16oz bulk refill bottles. There are empty spray bottles also available. The hand sanitizers are formulated to exceed the minimum 60% alcohol content that the CDC recommends is necessary for an effective hand sanitizer."

So there you go as to your questions:

"A) Where are the raw materials to produce the soap / food / etc coming from?
B) How will it be delivered?"

This is the free market, Dave Corsi. Goat Milk Stuff gets their resources from their goats. And no goats are killed.

But there are millions of "Goat Milk Stuff" types of companies in the USA. They would all step up to the plate, especially if they could make some $Money. Goat Milk Stuff is not giving away their hand sanitizer; they are charging for it, and this email just came out this morning, but they are probably already beyond their capacity to provide it.

Yes, most of the people in the USofA are idiots. And the government is doing what you want; giving all of the idiots everything, for free.

You're right; this is the reality. And it is an ugly reality.

But your comment, "And I hope that once this "crisis" is over we can start pulling people away from nanny government. But unfortunately that battle must wait for another day."

No. The battle is now. Tom Woods is the PhD historian. But from my faulty knowledge only 1/3 of the American Colonists wanted American Independence. Or maybe less.

By the March 31, 2020 report, in the State of Washington there are 247 deaths. Out of 75 Million people from this coronavirus.

And the entire state is shut down.

This is insanity.

The purpose of Schiff's bank is to provide a place for the depositors to safeguard their money. I don't know the details of Schiff's bank, since American depositors are not allowed to open up accounts.

Perhaps he charges them a fee to keep their money safe.

You said:

"What would be your solution be to food, medical supplies etc. to people throughout the country right now?"

First off, allow "price gouging." Let that first person charge $500 for a 3 oz bottle of hand sanitizer. Then, many more people will rush in to provide the hand sanitizer, and the price will plummet.

I just saw that "My Pillow" guy on that Trump press conference, today. I was just half-watching, but I think he is going to now make face masks and other medical supplies instead of pillows. He has a manufacturing facility in Minnesota.

I read local web sites, here in Kirkland WA. And people are helping each other. This one person needed something and this other person said they could help.

We all want to live. And we will help each other. If we can get government out of the way.

This "lockdown" is NOT HELPING.

Re: If we want America to get back to work, then TEST EVERYBODY first, so we can isolate the asymptomatic carriers

MARYDBROWN — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 23:06:39 -0000

The official WA state corona web site reports this, 3/28/20:

People Testing Positive: 4,310
People Testing Negative: 54,896
Total deaths: 189

Total deaths on 3/17/20, 11 days ago was 52. So, you could say that the death rate has more than tripled. Wow, SCARY!

But when you compare the “death rate” to the total population, this is nothing.

Especially when you factor in that most of the deaths were from really old people, most of which had other underlying health conditions.

I live in Kirkland, WA. What was once the "epicenter." Nobody in the media mentions Washington State, anymore. We don't fit the narrative.

I don't know what is going on in NYC. Other than Trump and Cuoma arguing about ventilators.

Meanwhile, the Congress passes this massive $2.2 Trillion bill, in a heartbeat, that again, bails out the Crony Capitalists.

And strips us all, of our liberty.

For the 189 deaths in the state of Washington. And the other 2,227 deaths in the USA.

Wow. People really are just sheeple.

Sorry, the guests and Schiff are right. If Boeing and most of the other corporations that are now failing had not borrowed all of that money to buy back their stock to increase their short term share value and increase their own compensation, they would have the resources to weather this coronavirus disruption.

But they didn't. And today, they all got bailed out. Again.

Schiff has no loans in his business. Schiff even has a Bank that is not "fractional reserve." All of the depositor money is there.

"the man on the street who was laid off" It's been said, they are "living from paycheck to paycheck."

But what are they spending that money on? Is it all just rent, food, clothing. That is all we really need. To survive,

But if it is going out to eat, and a great cell phone plan, and movies and buying a bunch of stuff you don't need; can't those "paycheck to paycheck" people cut that out?

Re: Ep. 1620 The Economics of the Shutdown

MARYDBROWN — Fri, 27 Mar 2020 22:30:21 -0000

One comment made in this podcast I can totally identify with; one of the guests mentioned that Hasbro is selling a lot of Monopoly games. I am not Hasbro, but I do have a business as a 3rd party seller on Amazon. And I sell games almost exclusively. My game sales have gone through the roof. I'm selling games like it's Christmas.

My Amazon Seller App is currently telling me that I'm selling 985% more $ money in games then I did from this time last year.

Unfortunately, Amazon is not allowing me to send in any more games. As of 3/27/2020. Amazon is not allowing any FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) seller to send in anything, unless it is "essential."

Although, just read this in a story about a stressed Amazon Warehouse employee:

“Now things are especially crazy. Regular items come in, but they’re sorted to the side; we’re only sending out essentials — and board games, I noticed recently. I guess people are really stuck inside.”

Amazon posted today on Seller Central they are starting to relax what can be sent in; but most of my games are still prohibited.

We'll see.

Positive Cases in the State of Washington — 1012

Deaths in the State of Washington - 52

Negative Tests - 13,117

29 of those deaths from that one Kirkland nursing home.

But by now, we have shut down the entire country.

Re: US coronavirus infections just surpassed 1,000 as global death rate reaches 6% which is 60 times higher than the seasonal flu

MARYDBROWN — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 00:26:31 -0000

Again, I live here in Kirkland, WA. I live .5 miles from the Life Care Nursing facility where 26 of the 31 people have died. In the state of Washington. And these 26 people were all really old.

If this disease is easily transmittable, then I should be dead. I am .5 miles from Patient Zero.

Yet, I am not dead. And I am age 65. Nor are the other 80,000 people that live in the city of Kirkland. Or the 1.9 Million people that live in King County.

By now, everything is cancelled.

Who benefits from that?

Re: The Truth About COVID-19

MARYDBROWN — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 23:04:40 -0000

Today is March 7, 2020. To repeat, again the local QFC is fully stocked. We are not all dropping dead, here.

When I hear the word, "pandemic" it suggests to me a disease where just being close to an infected person means you die.

But here is the dictionary.com definition of "pandemic."

adjective
(of a disease) prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area.

There have been cases of this virus all over the world. So it is a pandemic.

But the definition of epidemic, again from dictionary.com:

adjective
Also ep·i·dem·i·cal. (of a disease) affecting many persons at the same time, and spreading from person to person in a locality where the disease is not permanently prevalent. extremely prevalent; widespread.

This is not happening, in Kirkland WA. Most of the deaths, here are from that nursing home. Where the people that died were old and had many, many other underlying health conditions.

But I'm 65 years old. I'm just waiting for the WA governor, Jay Inslee to direct the Police, the Washington National Guard to "instruct" me to "remain in my home."

Or else. I guess they will just "put" me somewhere, if I go out of my house.

As many have pointed out, this coronavirus is only scary to the extent that this will be the loss of the last of our liberty.

Re: The Truth About COVID-19

MARYDBROWN — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 23:19:25 -0000

Mary from Kirkland, WA here again. It just occurred to me; they have those 10 confirmed COVID-19 deaths at the Life Care facility; how did they confirm them? With the COVID-19 test kits, of course.

But from everything that I have read, these test kits are scarce.

But these 10 individuals that died did had the test. I guess because they were sick. But there are probably dozens of similar "Life Care" facility care type places in Kirkland.

Why aren't the patients at these other facilities being tested?

Again, the lack of test kits.

But it seems they had plenty of test kits for the Life Care facility in Kirkland. And those confirmed the 10 deaths.

Something is not adding up, here.

Re: The Truth About COVID-19

MARYDBROWN — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 22:40:54 -0000

All that I can report is what is actually going on, here in Kirkland WA where I live. Apparently the "Ground Zero" in the United States for COVID-19.

Most of the deaths are from the Life Care facility in Kirkland. .5 miles from my house. All elderly and in poor health as has been reported.

I don't see people freaking out here, in Kirkland. I see the same people on my daily walks. The local QFC has not been stripped, bare. It's still well stocked with some empty aisles. The TP aisle on Monday but by today QFC had an end display of TP, $2.99 for six rolls.

The Northshore School district, to the north of Kirkland has closed all of their schools; but the Lake Washington School district in Kirkland has not. As of 3/5/20.

Life is continuing, here in Kirkland. With very little disruption.

If I listen to the media, I am a fool. But who is the bigger fool?

This "outbreak" in Kirkland is entirely due to the 10 deaths at the Life Care facility. But, it does not seem to be spreading. Here in Kirkland.

Well, that's a given; all government is dishonest and self-serving.

But it is not my "Democrat State of Washington." I'm 65 years old. The State of Washington used to be Liberal, in the good sense. Now, it is run by leftist, Progressive wackos.

OK, Mike Adams. Let us stipulate; everything you say is true.

The government(s), everywhere, are hiding the severity of this pandemic. And millions and millions of people will die.

Is that what you are saying?

OK that is fine. You truly believe this.

So, what should I do? I am just this one person, living in KIrkland, WA.

What I AM doing is maintaining my D3 level at 80+ A high D3 level can prevent many cancers and viral infections. Like this COVOID-19.

I have no idea what you are doing.

MARYDBROWN — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 22:24:55 -0000

Yes, I am uneducated. I want to get some real information. And not just scare tactics.

So, you got the information you posted, above, from your friend's husband, who is "currently a pre-eminent virologist for the World Health Organization branch inside of Russia who is tracking the cases which migrated to Russia and did their gene-sequencing."

Is that correct?

Has this virologist for the World Health Organization posted his data online?

This seems like really vital information for people to know.

We need all of the information that we can get.

Wow, you should be consultant for WHO, you seem so confident of all of your facts that you listed, above.

Where did you learn these facts?

This virus started in China in late November/Early December 2019. By reported accounts. So, that is 2.5 months ago.

And you KNOW all of this?

Re: Could coronavirus infect 80 percent of humanity? Hong Kong scientist says yes

MARYDBROWN — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 23:35:53 -0000

Please, explain this hysteria. Even if 1 Million people in China will die of this disease, China has 1.5Billion people. This is a rounding error. Well, except for those 1 Million people.

But by now, we're talking about thousands, even hundreds of thousands. Does that even compare with how many people die each year with the normal flu?

Mike Adams is "All In" on this; why?

Re: Ep. 1333 The Tom Woods Guide to Seceding From Everything

MARYDBROWN — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 23:14:38 -0000

In this episode, I was disappointed to not hear about the most basic method to avoid Obamacare; stay healthy.

Yes, I can hear the objections immediately. There is nothing we can do, we'll all get diseases that require expensive medical treatments. The question is just how to pay for them.

I reject this premise. A Vitamin D-3 level of 40-60 ng/ml (100-150 nmol/L) is optimal. And has been shown to prevent cancer and a host of other diseases. Most of the entire population of the US is 20 ng/ml or less. No wonder we are all so sick.

My level is 80 ng/ml. I've never had a flu shot in my life and have never gotten the flu. I'm 65 years old and rarely sick. I take no Prescription Medications. I have not been to a doctor in 10 years. I eat well and walk 4 miles/day.

Bill Sardi talks about this on LewRockwell.com, often.

There are lots of things to do to stay healthy and secede from Obamacare. But maintaining an optimal D3 level is the simplest and the cheapest. And the most effective.

But nobody ever talks about health; they only talk about sickness and how to "treat it."

I reject that.

I do have a comment. Read this book:

Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China by Leslie T. Chang.

It is not "slave labor." China is where the US was in the early 20th century. The people going from "slave labor" in the rural villages where they barely survived to better work in the factories.

You, everyone. All around everytown USA is "Martin Luther King Boulevard." And the countless other bridges and parks named for useless politicians.

And even King had a dubious reputation; but nobody brings that up.

A true value creator like Jobs is scorned. because he was not "perfect" in his life.

Well, these "politicians" are just scumbags that drain everything from society for they own benefit.
