Just curious who might benefit from all this commotion, fear and threats to the safety of the world as well as 330M Americans?
- International Bankers: Weekly QE (I think this is #5) of $690B [NOTE: TARP was approved as $800B but eventually came in at $16T) Republican effort to shore up big business at the expense of taxpayers.
- Welfare State: “Families First” bill would cost tens of billions of dollars. In addition to providing full government funding for coronavirus testing, the bill would “mandate private businesses provide additional paid sick leave; expand unemployment insurance eligibility; strengthen food security initiatives for senior citizens, children, pregnant women, and food banks; increase funding for Medicaid; and bolster unemployment benefits, among other provisions.” PLUS “Should the bill pass, businesses would be federally required to provide seven days of paid sick leave—with or without a pandemic .. should someone need to miss work due to an instance pertaining to stalking, domestic violence, or sexual assault, or should an employee need to help a friend going through such an event, a private business would be federally required to provide paid sick leave.” Democratic effort to ‘Buy Votes’ at the expense of the taxpayers.
- Police State: “.. Don’t go underestimating the government’s ability to lock the nation down if the coronavirus turns into a pandemic, however. After all, the government has been planning and preparing for such a crisis for years now. The building blocks are already in place for such an eventuality: the surveillance networks, fusion centers and government contractors that already share information in real time; the government’s massive biometric databases that can identify individuals based on genetic and biological markers; the militarized police, working in conjunction with federal agencies, ready and able to coordinate with the federal government when it’s time to round up the targeted individuals; the courts that will sanction the government’s methods, no matter how unlawful, as long as it’s done in the name of national security; and the detention facilities, whether private prisons or FEMA internment camps, that have been built and are waiting to be filled.” – John Whitehead in this article. Totalitarian effort toward total domestic control.
I am sure there are more as with every crisis, many are looking for legal and illegal, moral and immoral ways to use this to their advantage.
I guess being older ( #60-ish) makes one tired of the brokenness. Fear has not beaten me down as much as seeing evil win over and over again. I agree with Solomon when he said in the book of Ecclesiastes 1:9:
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Those that have faith in a loving Father and Creator do have an edge in this broken world. These people have a gift that can not be artificially prompted, but comes about naturally and spontaneously in the face of fear .. this is called courage in the middle of the storm.
Prayin’ for the American people to wake up and see that it isn’t the virus that will kill them, it may very well be the response to the virus that will ruin us for years and possibly kill even more innocent people along the way.
