HALF-FULL REPORT 02/21/20

We’ll focus on what went on this week of note in the US later.  Of far more import is what’s going on in Chicom China.

Google these words – coronavirus collapse communist china – and as of this morning (2/21) you’ll get 539,000 hits.  There are predictions galore of the COVID-19 virus precipitating the end of Communist rule in China, along with every conspiracy theory human imagination can devise.

Then there are voices of reasoned caution, like Princeton Professor Rory Truax, observing on Monday (2/17) in The Atlantic that China’s Chernobyl Never Seems to Arise.

At this point, it looks to be increasingly likely that there will be no worldwide pandemic.  However much the World Health Organization (WHO) has to rely on suppressed Chicom stats regarding infections and deaths inside China, those of other countries are far more reliable.

Thus the WHO COVID-19 Situation Report of February 20 reports a total of 8 deaths worldwide outside China – with all eight contracting the virus while in China.

There are no reported infections (much less deaths) in all of Central and South America, in all of Africa (save for one single case in Egypt), in all Central Asia, in all Eastern Europe, and only 2 in all of Russia:

The world is not in danger here.  China, on the other hand, is screwed, and in more ways than one.

First, tout le monde knows how the CCP created the crisis by covering it up for weeks and weeks, and continues to value its narrative of lies far above saving the lives of its citizens.  Xi Jinping has lost so much face its been irreparably disfigured.  “Face” – public recognition of your moral worth – is required for a ruling elite’s “Mandate of Heaven” legitimacy, and it’s now gone.

Second, China’s economy was already faltering before – so much so that Trump knew he could force trade capitulations that succeeded.  COVID-19 is a sudden Black Swan nailing the economy precisely when it’s most vulnerable.  The magnitude of economic damage is thus exponential.

This is why Cary Huang of Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post warns: Coronavirus Threatens a Meltdown of China’s Economy.  He explains why “a worst-case scenario of financial collapse, foreign exodus and large-scale bankruptcy cannot be ruled out.”

One indicator, TTPer Mike Ryan says, is shipping by sea which moves 90% of the world’s trade.  Here’s a report yesterday (2/20) showing China’s Cargo Collapse.  (Looking forward to seeing you comment on all this in the Forum, Mike – and all TTpers, jump on in, the Forum’s water is fine!)

Third, look at this chart carefully:

You know the critical question to ask about a country’s future:  Does a country have time to get rich before it gets old?  Japan did, India does, China doesn’t.  (We’ll talk about Germany at a later date.)

History can be like bankruptcy – “first it happened slowly, then all of a sudden.”  Back in 2015, I wrote The Chinese Marathon. It’s worth reading now.  The Chicoms are running what China expert Mike Pillsbury calls the “100 Year Marathon” – that 100 years after the founding of Communist China in 1949, by 2049 it will have replaced America as the world’s only superpower.

With the Black Swan Coronavirus catalyzing all their problems, it’s looking more likely than ever that is a marathon race the Chicoms will not win.

OK, what went on in the USA this week?  Well, there was another Dem Clown Show, in Vegas of all places.  What a fun cat fight, watching them scratch and claw each other to no avail.

Tomorrow (2/22) comes the Caucuses in Nevada, a week from tomorrow (2/29) South Carolina, 3 days later (3/03) “Super Tuesday” of 14 states including Texas and California.  There will no last man nor woman standing, for as you know, delegates are divvied out proportionally to those with at least 15% of the votes.  The public will soon lose much interest in the whole dog’s breakfast.

As WaPo bemoans, Hold on to Your Hats, the Democrat Race Could Get Very Messy.  Ya think?

************

Back to the Vegas cat fight.  There was one issue that suddenly all the Dems agreed on:  Climate Alarmism.  We’re all gonna die and the world will burn up if we don’t embrace Occasional-Cortex’s Green New Deal.

Right.  So what do the Dems say now – and the New York Times, and Faux Saint Greta?  The Valentine’s Day HFR last week mentioned this, but here Megan Fox has the follow up (2/16):  Triggered!  Donald Trump Saves the Planet, Leads the World in Lowering CO2 Emissions.

Has to be the must-read of the week.  You could follow it up with Emissions Accomplished – Trump Wins on Fracking at AT.

Meanwhile, POTUS keeps having these massive KAGA (Keep America Great Again) rallies that dwarf anything the Six Dem Dwarves put together in some high school auditorium.

On Wednesday (2/19), POTUS packed them up to the rafters with 15,000 Trumpers in Phoenix.  Last night (2/20), he did the same in Colorado Springs (Edd – you were there right?).  Tonight (2/21), he’ll be in Vegas.  (The links, by the way, are to the full video of each.)  He’s like a force of nature.

Coolest of all though was his being Grand Marshall at the Datona 500 on Sunday (2/16), declaring, “Gentlemen, start your engines,” then him and Melania in The Beast being the pace car.  The enormous crowd, hundreds of thousands, were chanting “USA! USA! USA!”

What Dem has a ghost of a chance against this?

************

As an aside regarding the Datona 500, of course you watched Ryan Newman’s horrific crash just seconds before he was about to get the winner’s checkered flag.  You have to see it in slow motion however:

The question is, how is it possible for any human being to survive this?  Not only to survive, but to go from “serious condition” Monday night (2/17) to “fully alert” and “joking around” by Wednesday morning (2/19) to walking out of the hospital later that day!

Here Ryan is with his two daughters, then walking out of the hospital with them – this is less than 48 hours after the crash you just saw.

This is due to the superhuman genius of American technology devoted to protecting race drivers in a crash that disintegrates their car at 200 miles an hour.  I’d like to ask Skye to explain how this technology works in the Forum.  Meanwhile, let’s take a moment to be in awe of what Americans can achieve.

************

One reason Donald Trump resonates with the great majority of Americans is that he recognizes their incredible capacity to achieve, to be winners.  All the Dems tell them is that they ae losers and need the government to take care of them.

So let’s unveil the Schadenfreudeliciousness of the Week.

On Tuesday (2/18), Mad Maxine Waters bitterly denounced the American people on MSDNC (what POTUS calls MSNBC):  “Americans, where are you? I don’t hear enough voices resisting Trump!”  And you never will, Maxine.

Here’s a great story on POTUS – and America – winning on Tuesday (2/28).  Boy, is the Associated Press upset about it:  Homeland Security Waives Contracting Laws for Border Wall.

Take time to enjoy this impressive video on Trump’s Wall construction – this is a president who keeps his promises:

More Winning – the Saturday edition (2/15) edition of the New York Post revealed: Trump Just Called a Halt to Obama’s War on American Suburbs.

“President Trump gets credit — and takes heat — for many things, but many folks don’t even know about one of his best accomplishments: blocking the federal government’s power grab for control of America’s suburbs…”

Now we move to the Latest Laughable Fake News Hoax.  You don’t get more Fake News that this CNN headline yesterday: Lawyer for WikiLeaks’ Assange says he was offered a US pardon for denying Russian hacking.  You have to read the story.   And this on Yahoo News: Rohrabacher confirms he offered Trump pardon to Assange for proof Russia didn’t hack DNC email.

Here’s my friend of over 50 years being pilloried in the latest anti-Trump smear by the Lying Swine.

I just talked to Dana and we had a good laugh about it.  Several in fact – like that all the Podesta emails on the DNC server supposedly “hacked by the Russians” were about how Podesta as Hillary’s hitman was screwing Bernie out of the Dem nomination.  Why in the world would the Russians be interested in that as a way to rig the election for Trump?  How utterly nonsensical can you get?

It is hilarious of course that the Dem Establishment is desperate to do the very same thing to Bernie today!  Dana and I were laughing so much we had tears in our eyes.

We went over how he met with Assange in 2017 trying to convince him to reveal his source for the Podesta emails – even going so far as to dangle the possibility of a Trump pardon if he did.  He never spoke to POTUS about it, only COS Kelly who never told POTUS as Kelly recognized the awful optics.

Nonetheless, note the truth that Yahoo, the entire Libtard Media, Deep State, and Dem Party hysterically denies:

“Rohrabacher said his goal during the meeting was to find proof for a widely debunked conspiracy theory: that WikiLeaks’ real source for the DNC emails was not Russian intelligence agents, as U.S. officials have since concluded, but former DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered on the streets of Washington in July 2016 in what police believe was a botched robbery.”

This is the impossibly ridiculous lie at the heart of the whole Russia Collusion Hoax for which there is no evidence whatever.  From the HFR of August 3, 2018:

“Yesterday (8/02), the lawsuit of Seth Rich’s family against Fox News was dismissed in court.  This is very good news.

 

In May of last year, Fox reported that “Murdered DNC Staffer Seth Rich Shared 44,000 Emails with Wikileaks.”  Rich was infuriated about John Podesta and the DNC rigging the primaries against Bernie Sanders and for Hillary.

 

Shortly afterwards, the suspicion is, Podesta hired thugs to murder him – then began inventing the cover-up myth that the Russians did it by hacking into DNC computers – impossible as the clock speeds of the email downloads show it was done on the inside, not via an external internet connection.

 

Yesterday (8/02) in What Is To Be Done?, I gave a big shoutout to Gregg Jarrett’s The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump. It’s a revelatory blockbuster – but it has one glaring flaw.  Jarrett believes Podesta’s lie, that the Russians hacked the DNC – the lie that started this entire Russian Collusion nonsense – and never mentions Seth Rich in the entire book.

 

Hopefully, now with this suit dismissal, the truth about Seth Rich may come to light and he will not have died in vain.”

Tragically, the truth has yet to come to light.  Julian Assange could have shed that light and he refused to do so because he is a coward and is now via his lawyer trying to smear Trump for no clear reason.

Assange got the Podesta emails downloaded on a pen drive from Seth Rich, period.  He could have prevented the entire three years of Russia-Russia-Russia with which the Dems-Deep State-Fascist Media did so much damage to our country – simply by telling the truth.  It is one of the grossest Sins of Omission in modern history.

Folks, that’s a wrap.  POTUS heads for India after the Vegas rally tonight for a spectacular visit – meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a joyous celebration with the two of them addressing a gigantic crowd in one of the world’s largest stadiums, the President and First Lady at the Taj Mahal – enjoy the show.
