Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – 28 February 2020

Greetings from Tyler,

Maybe the coronavirus will do what the Deep State couldn’t?  Amid all the contradictory reporting on the new strain of sickness is a perverse excitement.  They’ve already called it “Trump’s Katrina.”  There is the deranged hope that this will finally produce the recession the left confidently predicted five months ago.  That didn’t happen. In fact, business is booming, or it was, until the media latched on to its latest great hope to bring down President Trump, a full-blown pandemic.

It has been a bloodbath on Wall Street this week.  The carnage began early, right after the public comments of Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Dr. Nancy Messoner.  She, it turns out, is former Deputy Atty. General Rod Rosenstein’s sister.  Rush Limbaugh noted that fact, as did some other conservative news websites.  And the media is howling foul!  If you read the comments related to coronavirus stories in the mainstream media they’re rooting for Rush to die of his illness, soon.  They’ve accused him of saying something he never said, that the deep state “created” the coronavirus to blame Trump for it.  He never said that, and the Washington Post should have known better.  But the accusation has already been printed, and piggy-backed by a long list of publications. He said that the illness has been “weaponized” to attack President Trump.  Is there some doubt?

As long as the media perceives and reports that the coronavirus is a threat to the economy, and therefore a threat to the Trump presidency, they will continue to generate as much public fear as possible.  This is the new “Russian collusion,” the new Ukrainian phone call, the new “whistle-blower.”  It’s all they’ve got for the time being.  So until another made-up outrage worthy of impeachment comes along, the corona-virus will have to do.

Meanwhile, we’ve been subjected to raucous debates that broke down into utter confusion with everybody talking at once, some at high volume.  It seems that all President Trump’s would-be opponents have buckled under pressure to accept socialism.  None of them are concerned about the prospect of a socialist future for the United States, or at least not concerned enough to say so on live television.  They’re out promising FREE everything for everybody.  Free college, free health-care (even for illegal aliens) a guaranteed income and on and on.  Never mind that every socialist system has produced hunger and poverty in every nation that’s adopted it.  Fact is, those nations have still not recovered and probably never will.

Never mind that people who preach socialism call everyone racist and lurch toward violent confrontation with anyone who dares question their motives.  We’re careful not to engage in overtly political matters.  But we do, and always have supported Israel as the only free, prosperous democracy in a region where wars are the norm.  It was already apparent that Senator Sanders was a wild-eyed kook who lectures us about the great programs that were implemented by the likes of Stalin, Castro, and Maduro.  Mind you, he rejects their authoritarian practices but insists they did good things too.  He can’t stop reminding us that Castro taught the Cubans to read and write.  But he recently called Prime Minister Netanyahu a “reactionary racist.”  Netanyahu’s record proves otherwise.

Israel has Muslims and Palestinians in the Knesset!  They get to vote and side with various coalitions in Israel’s government.  Netanyahu has shown tremendous restraint under attack from Gaza and Southern LebanonFor this socialist hair brain to call him a “reactionary racist” is the height of ignorance.  But he has a large and fervent following with a penchant for violence.  Remember Steve ScaliseThere are plenty of recent examples of his followers physically attacking people who think they’re nuts.  And they claim they’ll burn Milwaukee if he’s (once again) cheated out of the nomination.

You may have seen the news this week about the death of Philip Haney who worked for the Dept. of Homeland Security during the Obama administration.  He was bold enough to report that he had been ordered to delete all collected information regarding the terrorist connections of Muslims who were settled in the U. S. during the onslaught that occurred during the Obama years.  He authored a book entitled, See Something, Say Nothing.  He’s been interviewed and claimed he had the goods.  He was found dead outside his car a few miles from where he lived near Sacramento, shot in the chest apparently by a shotgun also found at the scene.  That must be quite a trick, but it has happened.  It was immediately reported as a suicide, but there are close friends that say they don’t believe he killed himself.  They also say he claimed to be in fear of his life and told friends that if anything happened to him it wouldn’t be suicide.  But who knows?  If recent history is any guide, we’ll probably never know for sure.

It is a little odd how people who are in possession of information damaging to certain high profile personalities keep killing themselves, or are the victims of unsolved murders.  Seth Rich, Jeffrey Epstein, Phil Haney, and those are just the recent examples.  They are the cases that are never solved to anyone’s satisfaction, and it’s best not to ask too many questions. We’ve got expert agencies after all.

We’re seeing the economic impact of the panic the media has created over the coronavirus in real-timeMarkets have taken a historic tumble, and we don’t know if the carnage is over yet.  All we know is that the coronavirus, its danger to the population and to the world’s economic health is all anyone wants to talk about.

What do you think would happen if the United States were to elevate a bonafide socialist to the Oval OfficeWould the big money remain in the U. S.?  Or would it find a friendlier environment?  If it comes to that, we may all be scouring the map.

Mark

PS:  We’re anxious for you to see the new TCW. We sent it to the printer early in the week, and hope you’ll have it soon.  It covers a wide range of important issues and developments, including the media-induced panic over the new virus.
