Not Doing Math,
The COVID case doubling time in Texas is a little over a week these days.
What does it mean to the rapidly rising case numbers if tests take 11 days to come back?

I think it means the rapidly rising curve is much suppressed, compared to “reality”.
Coronavirus infections in Austin are ramping higher and faster than we see.
Most people I test now say they have one or more sick family members.
All the states are tracking serology tests percent positives for antibodies, and all keep the secret.
Herd-immunity ASAP is the implied goal.
There are 2 main American political camps at war, pushing different views. (I’m not sure our orange president is really in either camp, though he leans towards denial. I think he would kind-of like to help everybody.)
One camp pushes stark fear and withdrawal from all engagements of life, except virtual echo-chambers.
The other camp is opening fire with both barrels of the denial-shotgun.

None of that will help us solve the massive distributed problem of finding new ways that we can all afford to live together, while increasingly harmonizing with natural ecosystems.
Here is the best large scale hydroxychloroquine trial data.
It’s pretty darn safe if you avoid using it with people with specific cardiac conduction defects, like Long Q-T Syndrome, and you start fairly early, like before they are crashing hard enough to need hospitalization to fight for life.

University Of Eastern Virginia Med School gets government funding, so it must comply with CDC edicts.
It has removed hydroxychloroquine from it’s treatment algorithm (at gunpoint).
It still includes quercetin, a non prescription plant-derived substance, which also works by letting zinc into virally infected cells, where it interferes with viral replication. Nobody is funding studies on quercetin. Don't wait for them.
I think, from 14 years of testing vitamin-D levels in people on various doses over time, that you should take more vitamin-D than they advise.
5000 units per day is good long term.
Take 10,000 units per day for a month or two if just starting, and not getting a lot of regular sun on a lot of skin.

This is another story illustrating that SARS-CoV-2 attaches to ACE-2 receptors in the nasopharynx, lungs, and gut, but those are paths to the arterial circulation, where it attacks the blood vessel lining, endothelium, causing inflammatory response, clotting, and shutting off blood supply to bits of hear, brain and kidney, as well as bits of lung.

Many of the people who donated tissue for this investigation did so posthumously.
Thank You.

With mass media replaced by Big Tech's data-flow / behavioral-control molecular media, political coherence has been lost, and so divide-and conquer control mechanisms are now essentially infinite: any group, no matter how coherent, can be splintered into warring fragments by the Big Tech Neofeudal Nobility.
After all, they have the data and they can use it however they want, with no limits or controls by users, citizens or nominally democratic governments.
How do we change the leadership of our Neofeudal Nobility, the privately owned, quasi-sovereign Big Tech platforms? The short answer is: we don't. There is no mechanism left for influencing anything in the monarchies of Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc al.

This need not actually be a process of massive rebuilding and restructuring.
What will naturally happen is the continued loss of fossil fuel energy, SUBTRACTION.

(Disclaimer: I am a fan of face masks in public buildings and crowds, to reduce viral transmission, which Asian countries show works well. The point is, power elites are dividing and controlling us with blind fear.)
While the country is fast approaching an existential crisis on steroids, millions experienced an inner knowing that some indefinable thing was not right with recognition that the early explanations were hogwash while others, addicted to mainstream/social media who still believed in the illusion of democracy, were on board with the litany of spin from the medical and political establishment.
While the Lockdown could have been a wake up call for humanity to change its consciousness with a paradigm shift – whether it be a spiritual awakening, a political realignment or re-evaluating one’s own personal health choices, since, after all, humanity was locked in a major health crisis. And most importantly, it was an opportunity to acknowledge that the planet itself is ailing from abuse and neglect with CV as a metaphor urging a personal reconnection with Nature.

Iran Prepares Retaliation for Israeli Acts of Sabotage, Elijah Magnier
When she was arrested, Ghislaine was living in a luxurious country house on 156 acres in a rural part of New Hampshire. She had bought the property in December for $1.07 million through a limited liability company that does not bear her name which was set up by one of her lawyers. Clearly the police knew exactly where she could be found. The house is a two-hour drive from the Canadian border, which might have been an intended refuge if she felt that the forces of law and order were moving in, but it begs the question as to why she would want to return to the U.S. at all. I rather suspect that she and her lawyers had actually been in touch with the authorities and some kind of plea bargain has been under consideration.
The US has just stepped up it's official rejection of China's extraterritorial claims to the whole South China Sea, after 6 years of "rejecting" those claims.
China has "created facts" in the area. US Navy ships can all be sunk within an hour by Chinese missiles.
What's the strategy? How many Americans and Chinese have to die?
China has continued efforts to build artificial islands and fortify them with weaponry, leading to the creation of what Steve Bannon has described as "mobile aircraft carriers". Bannon has repeatedly warned that China is the most pressing threat to American security and economic interests.
Israel is trying to stimulate the many Gulf countries who are anxious to run into Israel’s arms and establish overt relationships with Israel. These Gulf countries, led by Saudi Arabia, want Israeli support “to break Iran’s back”. That is nothing new; the Israeli-Saudi relationship dates back to the 80s. Bahrein, Qatar, and the Emirates all have established relations with Israel. However, Israel and Saudi Arabia cannot predict the Iranian reaction. Retaliation will come from the Axis of the Resistance. And it will come in an unexpected way.
Why now? The timing would seem to relate to other developments. Only last week Federal judge Loretta Preska ruled that the documents relating to Epstein and Maxwell in the possession of litigant victim Virginia Giuffre had to be destroyed. Information about Epstein and Maxwell, extracted from a 2015 civil suit filed against Epstein by Giuffre, appear to have contained the names of individuals with whom Epstein had conducted business, both those he recorded in flagrante as well as his other clients and even his victims.
Preska ruled that Giuffre’s lawyers had obtained the documents improperly and ordered that all the materials in the files “shall be destroyed.” She also demanded proof that the material had been destroyed...

The upcoming trial could easily end relatively quickly with a toothless admission of guilt by Maxwell and a plea-bargained minimum prison sentence. All documents relating to the case, including any recordings, would be sealed, which would inter alia protect other perceived government equities, namely the prominent individuals and the spy agencies that might have been involved either as victims or perpetrators.
There is every indication that the Justice Department aided and abetted by the media is seeking to bury certain aspects of the Epstein case. A recent documentary on Netflix “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” carefully avoids any discussion of the likely Israeli espionage aspect of Epstein’s activities. Ghislaine’s father, who introduced Jeffrey to his daughter, was a prominent Mossad spy who received a state funeral in Israel after his mysterious death in 1991 which was attended by the prime minister as well as by all the former and serving heads of that country’s intelligence services...
Additional confirmation of the Israeli connection comes from a recent book by former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, who claims that Epstein and partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell were engaged in blackmailing prominent politicians on behalf of Israel’s foreign intelligence service Mossad. According to Ben-Menashe, the two had been working directly for the Israeli government since the 1980’s and their operation, which was funded by Mossad and also by prominent American Jews, was a classic “honey-trap” which used underage girls as bait to attract well-known politicians from around the world...
Conclusive evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli or even American intelligence agent might well be derived from the former U.S. Attorney in Miami Alexander Acosta’s comments when being later cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked “Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” … “Acosta testified that he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had ‘been told’ to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. ‘I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.’”... The simple answer just might be that Epstein was in fact an Israeli spy preying on prominent figures and anything having to do with the Jewish state, no matter how malodorous, is a political hotwire and off limits to Democrats and Republicans alike. If all of that is true, we the public will not be seeing anything like a “show trial” of Ghislaine Maxwell that reveals all and names names. She will quietly disappear into the legal system and before too long she will be out and around again, taking her secrets with her. Philip Giraldi
