America's Strange New World .

America's Strange Covid New
World could be heading to
a new twist.
As Serling once said, “You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into … the Twilight Zone.”

January 2021 AD . Another strange year like the previous one . Joe Biden or Donald Trump is sworn in. IT ALL DEPENDS on what side of the fence your on . What is coming is a nightmare, starting in the  (1)>>State of California with the strong restrictions and curfews.  The virus is real , but so over blowing by daily statistics , there is no way that we are going to have a free and open society . Our Constitutional rights are in danger.  The new COVID-19 world, it is relatively stunning how quickly COVID-19 has been assimilated into America’s culture war. It's crazy , no Science Fiction could describe it .  (2)>>The Twilight Zone like world feels as if we have been thrown into an alternative reality. America's "new Normal" is a twisted word just to condition us, making us accept it . It's far from normal . With the massive shutdowns , lock downs , curfews . It beckons the next thing the government will do is declare martial law .The path toward recovery continues to be inherently antisocial and runs counter to how humans interact, live lives and conduct their business. This unwelcome policy — which has already harmed families, societies and economies — has the potential to lead to a tectonic shift in how the world functions in the foreseeable future.The entire world's economy has shrunk dramatically. The pandemic delivered the most severe blow to the U.S. economy since the Great Depression as gross domestic product collapsed and millions of jobs were lost. This strange new world should not exist . If the assumption is right that Joe Biden is President , he will be unable to change it . Biden's plan  alleged "pushed by science" is to lock down the whole nation

Joe Biden's plan may
shut the whole nation down
as "spikes" continue 
to surge without 
any explanation .

. Judging from how the Covid testing is going now , the spikes will continue with positive tests going up.  Just think what it was like In China, where severe lock downs were enforced in many parts of the country, the corona virus has been wrestled to the ground. In Wuhan, ground zero of the virus, recent reports cite crowded water parks and night markets. Domino's Pizza recorded such a huge improvement in sales in the country in recent months that it prompted CEO Richard Allison to call China "a terrific success story in 2020."But the Chinese form of enforcement is hard to achieve in democratic societies, (3)>>most of which are pinning their hopes on a vaccine.Biden has acknowledged the need for an immediate COVID-19 response. But there’s a catch. While he’s [ sorta not as post writing]  taken the presidency, Democrats may be unable to flip the Senate (Democrats have 46 seats, Republicans have 48 seats, and two seats may go to a runoff in January). So while Biden can propose bills, and the Democrat-controlled House is likely to pass them, they could still face the same, aggressive vetoing of Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republicans in the Senate, which has ground policymaking to a halt.  While Biden can cook up all the anti-COVID plans he wants, there is only so much government can accomplish if enough citizens reject enforcement. The rapidly increasing number of people who are dying do so quietly, away from the cameras. They just vanish, leading people to believe that the danger is ephemeral — and Trump’s supporters respond in kind. That culture will remain alive.But doing some of it will require Congress, which could pass economic stimulus to ease the pain of and therefore enable further social distancing, incentive states to mandate masks, and direct more funding to vaccine efforts. With Democrats’ chances of winning the Senate now looking worse, it’s unclear how much of these measures Congress — and therefore Biden — will get done.

 

The Vaccine Problem

Donald Sutherland's 
scream from "Invasion 
of the Body Snatchers "
echos people screaming 
at people for not 
wearing a mask. 

(4)>>While all Hopes are on a Vaccine part second.  PLEASE  I would like to interject some "caution" to the rapid development of the vaccine .First off it's strange , it seems to me that there is some scheme in the works to push a vaccine on the population of the world  . Again  regardless of the side effects,  that MAY BE more Dangerous than the Virus. You have to look close to the developments of the last few months . How is it possible that a Vaccine now exists that is 95 % effected ? COVID was in  full bloom around March. Now if you except this , there has not been enough "research" , or trials to demonstrate the effectiveness of the vaccine . Second , if this vaccine as far as we are to believe is useful against Covid , it must have been around for a long time before the corona-virus outbreak .Well seeing as how vaccines normally take 8-10 years before they hit the market, I can see why I would be skeptical. With that being said, I think if they can prove (beyond reasonable doubt) that it works without serious side effects? BUT you have to still wonder about the "agenda" behind the vaccine .  (5)>>MY WORRIES is that it may be forced upon the unwilling , those who don't want it could face government punishments that would violate rights of people . This is a big issue in my social circle. My friends who are generally pro-vaccine are saying they won't get any vaccine that is only approved in the U.S. They will only trust it if it has also been certified by other Western countries. (5.1)>>There are government officials indicating that it will be available just before the election, at a time when the CDC has become so politicized. It doesn't inspire trust in the process. can also see why operation warp speed does not inspire confidence. The good news is if efficacy is really high, say 90%+, then trials may be able to end early. On the flip side, safety data may be harder to capture on an accelerated timeline since some outcomes could be very rare and/or maybe have a long induction period. The precise cause of the disease is key to the decision by authorities whether to resume the trial. Sometimes an underlying medical condition is “unmasked” by a person’s immune response to the vaccine, leading to illness, as happened with the MS patient. In that case, the trial might be continued without fear, because the illness was not specific to the vaccine.More worrisome is a phenomenon called “molecular mimicry.” In such cases, some small piece of the vaccine may be similar to tissue in the brain or spinal cord, resulting in an immune attack on that tissue in response to a vaccine component.   A person with better knowledge of the types of long term adverse events we see in typical phase III vaccine trials could probably add more here.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield told  Redfield told "The Daily Briefing" that a vaccine would initially be made available "in a hierarchical way" with priority going to "nursing home residents and then some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for a poor outcome."The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has scheduled a Dec. 10 meeting of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee to discuss Pfizer's request for emergency use authorization (EUA) of its vaccine candidate.(5.2)>>of Coarse we the Guinea Pigs!

Are they coming after our " Pets" next?

The Covid paranoia could spread to innocent animals . There were obviously "false" stories on Covid and pets , we did hear of a Zoo Tiger , Dog's that were reported to have tested positive . Those stories were probably set up to scare the public . Veterinary and sanitary authorities in Poland said  that 18 coronavirus cases had been identified among mink farm workers since the start of the pandemic, but it was unlikely that to have been spread by the animals.Like ferrets and several other animals, mink are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and capable of spreading it to members of their own species. In addition, they can also pass the virus on to humans. There are serious questions about animal to human infections. IT's not that a animal could spread the virus , but the consequences of disposing of infected Minks  (5.2)>>could go as far as the government taking your Cat or Dog away? . There is so much paranoia out there that could come from the government .

Martial Law because of Covid ?

 (6)>>Although the U.S. Constitution makes no specific provision for the imposition of martial law,nearly every state has a constitutional provision authorizing the government to impose martial law. In California, the governor’s power to declare martial law originates in the California Constitution. See Cal Const., Art. V Section 7. The governor is commander in chief of a militia that shall be provided by statute. The government has emergency strategic stores of just about everything, including all manner of food and agricultural product. Furthermore, if things got bad they can easily nationalize entire supply and manufacturing chains and begin rationing with centralized distribution of important necessities. Confiscating personal property would immediately cause the people to question the ability of the government to control the situation. Enforcing a quarantine is a separate affair from running around confiscating personal property. Very different psychologically. I see a lot of people talking about how they have been stockpiling food and water and how they are more than ready for this Covid-19 epidemic but I am curious if many are aware that the government can confiscate your supplies if there is a declaration of martial law? According to order number 10998 in  (7)>>a declaration of martial law, the federal government is allowed to seize hoarded food supplies from both public and private sources.In short, martial law can be imposed when civil rule fails, temporarily being replaced with military authority in a time of crisis. Though rare, there have been a number of notable U.S. cases where martial law came into play, including in times of war, natural disaster and civic dispute — of which there has been no shortage in 2020.

The Covid "Dumbfounding"   of America.

Since the advent of covid=19 , the whole nation has gone dumb . It took the scale and intimacy of a pandemic to expose the nation to a failing government , a corrupt political class, a sclerotic bureaucracy, a heartless economy, a divided and distracted public—had gone untreated for years. Everything just blew up . You have State and Local governments trampling on American constitutional rights .Every morning in the endless month of March, Americans woke up to find themselves citizens of a failed state. With no national plan—no coherent instructions at all—families, schools, and offices were left to decide on their own whether to shut down and take shelter.Why is America the only rich society in the world that doesn’t have effectively any public goods? No functioning healthcare, retirement, higher education, and so forth? While Covid is a nation wide problem , depending on what state you live in . Blue states had started lock downs early found themselves with the worst Covid outbreaks . BUT the  (8)>>whole nation has gone dumb all in the name of public safety.

Covid ID cards???

 Well we are headed into uncharted territory still . There are reports of  (9)>>" COVID ID CARDS"  to be issued to those who will receive a vaccine . Information on the credit card-sized ID items will include the type of vaccine, its batch number and date it was administered.Many details of the plan, which is still in development phase, will rely on three separate components -- the Ticketmaster digital ticket app, third party health information companies like CLEAR Health Pass or IBM's Digital Health Pass and testing and vaccine distribution providers like Labcorp and the CVS Minute Clinic and, just like ticketmaster, there's basically only one platform that "the travel industry" uses it's called Sabre (hotels, trains, planes, resorts.. all put info into this system)... when one airlines asks.. every place you book a reservation could tap into it too.The Department of Defense released the first images of a Covid-19 vaccination record card  Well it looks deeply Orwellian . Just think how this would effect people ? If you don't have a covid card , will hurt your occupation ? It seems , push the for vaccine is the underlining problem along with the card for government tracking system with cards . With an immunity certificate, people could be able to return to the workplace and enter restaurants and stores, for example, and participate in less strict physical distancing measures, according to the Lancet.

What's ahead , concluding thoughts......

I was recently asked by a friend "how do I think , how long this is going to last "? I don't know . It Looks like the year 2021 is a mirror image of 2020 . I don't see the American political system turning around with a President Joe Biden , nor do I see Donald Trump vanishing in a puff of smoke . The American Congress is dysfunctional a total mess between Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell . There will STILL be NO ECONOMIC aide to Americans unless they take up arms , just do what the George Floyd riots did . I am serious about that . Since last August the American congress was SO gridlocked over money , part of the Time both Democrats and Republicans seem they can't come together , yet are able to spend billions on military??? WE as Americans should rethink our political system at this point. Another Challenge is the Healthcare system , Covid revealed that our current healthcare system can't cope with this pandemic. The insurance carriers are still overcharging and billing fully discharged ovid survivors with bills that exceed normal billing . The economy will not get better unless , local , state and federal governments come together to end the insane lock downs .To advance, Americans must look to optimize our existence in a post-COVID-19 world. We believe our country’s response to the following challenges and questions they pose will determine whether America rises or falls in the decades ahead.Leading indicators — from soaring unemployment to looming bankruptcies — suggest a rough re-start. This Covid  might be with the nation far into 2023, its not going away . SO the solution to this , has to be radical . Americans have to take charge of their country , not let it sink in the economic Twilight Zone.......

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

 (1)>>State of California with the strong restrictions and curfews.  California is one of the nightmare States crashing its economy.Governor Gavin Newsom took action. Newsom moved 40 of the state’s 58 counties — or 94% of its population — into the most strict level of his Blueprint for a Safer Economy. And he hinted at more drastic action to come. No bars, no clubs, no parties , no Thanksgiving . Along with a Governor that breaks his own rules .Does this mean I won’t be allowed to go for a walk at midnight? My neighborhood is nice and quiet then, so it’s a nice time to get out.Edit: This appears to only be a restriction on work and gatherings. Whether the police will try to stop me from taking a walk, I still don’t know.If the state had enough balls, they would make a curfew at 10am on Thanksgiving. Everyone must stay home until Friday morning. Unfortunately, everyone would just violate it and scream and yell like entitled children. So we get a curfew for when most people are already home for the night anyway.😅 (2)>>The Twilight Zone like world feels as if we have been thrown into an alternative reality. It's not just masking up that gives you a weird feeling , but the anti-social distancing, bizarre behavior of people on the outside that has taken hold of people.  People going crazy over toilet paper , the long lines at the grocery store , people being treated like infected rabid animals.Either an invisible contagion has invaded our country, or we’re in “The Twilight Zone.” It’s like the show in that we’re trying to make sense of what we’re experiencing. There’s something that is obviously wrong. It’s weird at times during this pseudo-lockdown.“You can go to the park, but you can’t have people over for dinner. I want to invite you into my house, but I can’t let you in. Obviously, something is off. It wasn’t quite right with Major League Baseball. Without people watching in person, something was definitely off. Radio, television, newspapers and magazines all scream one thing. COVID 24hrs a day . Same bull shit propaganda of fear.  Again ,In "The Twilight Zone," ordinary people find themselves in a world that looks like their normal world but it is not. They find themselves in world that is changed. Their new world full of fear and uncertainty. It is a living nightmare. They’re fighting to find their way home. I’ve grown all too familiar with televised press conferences with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, President Donald Trump and members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. I can’t honestly say I knew who Andrew Cuomo was before this hit.Many countries across the world are currently in a form of lock down as the illness’s death toll continues to rise.Several world leaders have urged citizens of their countries to remain indoors with parks being forced to close their gates after hundreds ignored pleas to remain indoors. Either case the worst part of the lock downs create a kind of feeling that gives conspiracy buffs like me a lot to investigate .  (3)>>most of which are pinning their hopes on a vaccine. As the 2020 presidential election hurls itself at us, there is one thing upon which the far right and far left agree: The COVID-19 pandemic should be over within days after Nov. 4. The right has been saying  the “deep state” is holding on to a secret vaccine that it will introduce to the world once Donald Trump is thrown out of office. It's already happening . I suspect that this vaccine has been around for a while just before the virus outbreak. It's too coincidental that it appeared out of the blue . Who discovered the vaccine eligible  for a Nobel Peace Prize ?? American drug maker Pfizer Inc. and German biotechnology firm BioNTech SE announced that its vaccine appears more than 90% effective in stopping Covid-19 infections. The preliminary finding spurred a global stock rally and put the companies at the head of the pack in the race for the vaccine.Chinese companies could still emerge as leaders in vaccine distribution: The inactivated vaccines would be easier to distribute in poorer countries than the double-shot from Pfizer, which requires costly deep-freeze production, storage and transportation networks. (4)>> While all Hopes are on a Vaccine part second.  Now this  Vaccine(s) was just developed under less than a year . PLEASE NOTE , It's one of the reasons the testing period takes 10-15 years....Exploratory Stage Pre-Clinical Stage .IND Application. Phase I Vaccine Trials. Phase II Vaccine Trials.  Phase III Vaccine Trials. Post-Licensure Monitoring of Vaccines.  A Gallup poll in November found that 58 percent of Americans say they would get a Covid-19 vaccine, up from a low of 50 percent in September. But there are still worries that the speed of developing and testing the vaccines may have compromised their scientific integrity.Clinical trials are typically made up of three main phases, but not all vaccine trials are designed the same way. In general, larger trials are ideal, with participants across age groups and ethnicities, because they will provide researchers with more data about how a potential vaccine performs in different populations. Half of Americans said they wouldn’t get a free U.S. government-approved vaccine if it were ready today, according to a Gallup survey released in October. That's a sharp decline from July when two-thirds said they would agree to vaccination. Previous polls found many people who were reluctant to get immunized worried about the safety of a vaccine that’s being developed with unprecedented speed. (5)>>MY WORRIES is that it may be forced upon the unwilling. For months, conspiracy theories surrounding compulsory COVID-19 vaccination have bounced around social media. The contours of the claims are generally the same, involving forced injections of an unsafe, or in some cases, actively dangerous vaccine. They’ve spread like the virus itself, first within the strident anti-vaccination community and then migrating well outside of it, with fear of “forced” vaccines raised by the likeThere are government officials indicating that it will be available just before the elections of tennis superstar Novak Djokovic and former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, father of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. A 1905 Supreme Court opinion—Jacobson v. Massachusetts—says yes. Yet, as Federal District Judge William Stickman observed in a Pennsylvania case in September of this year, although “Jacobson has been cited by some modern courts as ongoing support for a broad, hands-off deference to state authorities in matters of health and safety, other courts and commentators have questioned whether it remains instructive in light of the intervening jurisprudential development.” One jurisprudential development is the line of cases that includes abortion rights. All 50 states currently have some type of compulsory vaccination laws covering K-12 schoolchildren, and many states have compulsory vaccination laws covering college students. These laws typically allow for some type of medical exemption. States may also have mandatory vaccination laws covering employees in nursing homes and health care facilities. Beyond mandates and laws, employers, politicians and government agencies have other ways to encourage people to get vaccinated. In particular, the messages they send matter. (5.1)>>There are government officials indicating that it will be available just before the election. See the following , why the vaccine could be more dangerous than the virus 👉  https://www.healthline.com/health-news/why-rushing-a-covid-19-vaccine-by-november-could-be-dangerous#CDC-asks-states-to-prepare-for-vaccine    (5.2)>>could go as far as the government taking your Cat or Dog away?  There is no exact way to be certain that the government would take your pet away to euthanize them . If we all start to hear that your pet can give you Covid . We know that cats, dogs, and some other mammals can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, but we don’t yet know all of the animals that can get infected. There have been reports of animals being infected with the virus worldwide. BUT this thought of your government intruding in your personal life way beyond the lock downs could be another frighting twist.(5.2)>>of Coarse we the Guinea Pigs! The rush for a vaccine is extremely fishy , could this be some experiment on the population ? Meanwhile , the likes of former presidents Clinton and George W. Bush, Barack Obama, America's first black president, Fauci has said he plans to get vaccinated on camera to promote community acceptance of the vaccine. Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris also says she'll take her shots once a vaccine is approved. If there are dangers to this vaccine it could be too late . Allergic reactions right now may not be common place , but could widen . WE still don't know the true nature of the vaccine. BUT BIG PHARMA is in control of this. AstraZeneca’s chief executive, Pascal Soriot, told the press event. “There’s no competition,” he added.There's no vaccine against Crapitalism. Sounds like a wonderful investment opportunity to me. Crapitalism is wonderful! There is no problem it cannot solve! I can hardly wait for the next pandemic.Sarah Gilbert, also at the University of Oxford, said at the press conference that more research was needed to work out why the half dose seems to prime the body to respond better. “It could be that by giving a small amount of the vaccine to start with and following up with a big amount, that’s a better way of kicking the biggest and most effective immune system response,” she said. Asked about side effects from taking the covid-19 vaccine, she said earlier, smaller phases of its development had seen people reporting sore arms, fever and headache.So all this does is prevent symptoms. But side effects may include sore arms, fever and headache. Surely this is a joke? Even the Onion can't make shit like this up. (6)>>Although the U.S. Constitution makes no specific provision for the imposition of martial law. Governor Gavin Newsom said during a press conference on that he would consider implementing martial law if it was necessary to curb the novel virus.“We have the ability to do martial law ... if we feel the necessity,” he said.Issuing martial law would be an unprecedented move rarely used by officials in US history. If enacted, it would temporarily replace civil rule with military authority.There is no exact way to be certain that the government would take your pet away to euthanize them . If we all start to hear that your pet can give you Covid . We know that cats, dogs, and some other mammals can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, but we don’t yet know all of the animals that can get infected. There have been reports of animals being infected with the virus worldwide. BUT this thought of your government intruding in your personal life way beyond the lock downs could be another frighting twist. (7)>>a declaration of martial law.  Reality  martial law isn't unreasonable. It may be required in a lot of places. Think about the infection rate and mortality rate, if you accept the daily "numbers" and the alarming propaganda we are subjected to on a daily basis .Of course a more deadly virus that isn't spreading in the US yet isnt going to have more raw deaths than the flu, but if it spreads it'll be significantly worse. This "The flu is worse because statistics are hard" is getting frustrating. The truth is, it may not become widespread but we sure as hell need to be ready for it.(8)>>whole nation has gone dumb all in the name of public safety. Are we living through the stupidest possible moment in American history?The pandemic isn’t “over,” but the country’s patience has apparently run out . The whole country going DUMB.  A national emergency that ought to be uniting the country in opposition to a viral enemy has sadly and somewhat predictably devolved into just another partisan cat fight. As usual, our collective pathology revolves around the man in the White House.The fact that literally everything has become political is, in many ways, worse for the country than the virus itself. It’s becoming obvious that (1) Blue America has increasingly little in common with Red America, and (2) it is difficult to tell who is acting in good faith. Next again , Dr. Anthony Fauci has been hailed as a hero during the coronavirus pandemic, delivering thoughtful health advice while most members of the Trump regime have spread misinformation about covid-19. But there’s one area where Fauci let America down, hindering the public he (9)>>alth response and giving the U.S. both the highest coronavirus case count and the worst recorded death toll in the world. Simply put, Fauci lied about whether masks were helpful in slowing the spread of the virus. Fauci was asked by financial news outlet The Street why the U.S. government didn’t promote masks early on during the pandemic. Fauci, who sits on the Trump regime’s zombie-like coronavirus task force, hinted that he knew masks worked, he just wanted any available masks to be saved for health care workers. Another DUMB EXAMPLE is to Consider New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who the media and many in the public view as a great hero. According to left-leaning The Nation, before COVID-19 nailed his state, Mr. Cuomo was busy shutting down hospitals and slashing Medicaid payments. The publication concluded that "Cuomo helped get New York into this mess.,"it should be obvious that the lockdown was poorly thought through and poorly executed. The tone deafness and economic illiteracy of the “shut down everything” crowd is infuriating. This has spawned a predictable and equally infuriating backlash among those who claim coronavirus isn't a big deal and that life should return to normal immediately. (9)>>" COVID ID CARDS". Public health officials have confirmed that people will be given a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card” after they receive their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, as CNN reports. The documentation will help officials keep track of who has received the shot, and help people follow through with the second dose of their vaccination schedule. The cards were also mentioned in a press briefing with members of the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed.A COVID-19 vaccination card will feature a person’s first and last name, birthdate, the vaccine’s name and maker, and the dates of when the first and second dose were received. Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given, so that, for example, an entity could run a query if it didn't know where a patient got a first dose. Moore said many places are planning to ask patients to voluntarily provide a cell phone number, so they can get a text message telling them when and where their next dose is scheduled to be administered.
