So, the big boys deserted the sinking ship way before we were rioting over toilet paper:
  http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/why-did-hundreds-of-ceos-resign-just-before-the-world-started-going-absolutely-crazy

“One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing.  It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers unlike anything that we have ever seen before.  The following was published by NBC News last November… Chief executives are leaving in record numbers this year, with more than 1,332 stepping aside in the period from January through the end of October, according to new data released on Wednesday. While it’s not unusual to see CEOs fleeing in the middle of a recession, it is noteworthy to see such a rash of executive exits amid robust corporate earnings and record stock market highs. Last month, 172 chief executives left their jobs, according to executive placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. It’s the highest monthly number on record, and the year-to-date total outpaces even the wave of executive exits during the financial crisis. By the end of the year, an all-time record high 1,480 CEOs had left their posts. But to most people it seemed like the good times were still rolling at the end of 2019.  Corporate profits were rising and the stock market was setting record high after record high.”

     Well, there you go, all those people doing bootcamp, if they break the social distancing rules, well the police are going to swat you, and rightly so. But, why should there be bootcamps at all, forms of exercise  torture? If gyms can be shut down because some big guy can be shedding viruses like cats shed fur, all over the place, then shut them down too. And what is it, 10 people max at a funeral, and 5 for a wedding? Where did they pull these numbers from? Surely these are high risk places, since wedding involve people getting pretty close together, and funerals, well someone is dead anyway, which is hardly a good start. So, shut them down too!

     Yes, this is truly a fantastic time for your resident shed-dwelling hobo writer, who has suffered from social coronavirus all of his life.

     Oh, to have plenty of money to splash around at the end of the world, and be in a country where one still had God-given liberties to do so. Take Hungary, where people are simply buying guns like there is no tomorrow, as maybe there will not be, or at best, it will be the dawning of a violent new world:
  https://summit.news/2020/03/24/coronavirus-causes-gun-buying-panic-in-hungary/

“Fearing the potential breakdown of law and order as a result of the coronavirus, Hungarians are panic buying guns, with one store reporting a five fold increase in sales. “We are selling five times as much as in a normal March,” Gabor Vass, a gun store owner in Budapest, told Al Jazeera. “We could sell 15 times more if we had any more rubber bullet weapons, but we ran out,” he added. The store suddenly faced a rush of buyers last week despite the fact that Hungary has largely escaped the fate of other European countries, recording 167 coronavirus cases and 7 deaths. Vass said the firearm purchases were being driven by fears of civil unrest if supplies of essential products run out. “If people brawl over toilet paper now, what will they do later? Once shops run out of stock, people will take what they need. Police can hardly deal with every petty theft,” he said. 300,000 of Hungary’s 10 million population hold gun licenses, but licenses aren’t necessary for some light arms. “People have gone nuts,” said Vass. “They gobble up anything they don’t need a licence for. Gas pistols, rubber bullet guns, and even things like crossbows, which can harm you seriously.” According to the  Czech arms manufacturers association, there has also been a “double-digit rise in sales” of guns in Hungary’s neighboring country.”

     If you are worried about death and social doom in the current corona-crisis, then think again, because the real concern, as always, is racism, white racism. Yeah:
  https://www.newframe.com/far-right-uses-coronavirus-to-scapegoat-refugees/

“The global explosion of the coronavirus has dramatically brought about fresh challenges for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. With countries adopting strict measures to contain this pandemic, including rigid border controls, the outbreak will not only have a huge impact on those driven out by crisis situations but is also likely to create another refugee tragedy, worse than what has been experienced before. The global response to the spread of the virus formally known as Covid-19 amid the ongoing refugee crisis has been shaped by the complexity of national political interests, hardened immigration policies and border sovereignty. Xenophobic rhetoric about how migrants and refugees are potential carriers of the deadly virus and pose a health threat has already become a central theme for right-wing populists in Europe, who advocate for cracking down on immigration. And many far-right nationalists are making unverified assertions that African migrants brought the virus to the continent.”

     New Zealand is close enough, and culturally similar enough for the problem of gangs to erupt here in Oz as well, as economic collapse will breed desperate and violent people.
  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/23/gangs-of-new-zealand-explosion-of-violence-prompts-fears-police-have-lost-control

“Gangs have existed for decades in New Zealand; their members are a common sight on the country’s roads and truck stops, immediately identifiable in patched vests and riding oversized motorcycles. But years of low-key activity has been shattered by recent wars between rival gangs, and police in the worst-affected parts of the country – on the east coast of the North Island – are wondering just how, and if, they can ever be brought under control again.

TODAY‼️ THE BILL WAS PASSED AS THEY WERE DISTRACTING US BY SCAREMONGERING THE TRUTH ON MAIN MEDIA.... WE NEED TO RETRACT THIS BILL.... ANYONE KNOW HOW‼️‼️‼️‼️

The emergency Coronavirus Bill will be rushed through as law. Today sees the 2nd reading, if passed it will immediately proceed to 3rd and on. It contains the most draconian powers ever proposed in peace-time Britain. It will be rushed through Parliament and the powers will last two years. The powers will affect your freedom and take away your rights. Forced detention and isolation can be of anyone, including children, and for any amount of time. Authorities can FORCEABLY take biological samples from your body. There’s no clear access to legal rights from as-yet unidentified isolation facilities. Powers last up to 2.5 years. Lockdown powers could prevent protests against measures. State surveillance safeguards weakened. Protections from forced detainment and treatment under Mental Health Act lowered. Cremations can be enforced against personal and religious wishes. Changes to the court system. Registration of deaths. No inquests into suspicious deaths! No requirement for any medical certification for burials or cremations! It also indemnifies the health service should they fail for what ever reason to provide care. The most frightening part. Only one medical 'officer' is required to sign off COMPULSORY TREATMENT ORDER which means... in the real world you can be forced to accept medication. Or held down and injected with whatever is seen fit. THAT is the biggest and worst threat to your own freedoms. Schedule 8 Pt1. Local Authorities will now be exempted from compliance with their duties under The Care Act 2014. Schedule 11. The BBC wont be telling you that bit. So. If someone dies in police custody or any type of custody they can simply dispose of the body without any paperwork medical exam or certification or inquest. Forget what that box in the corner of your room is 'programming' you with. Get the facts. This is a terrible day for freedoms. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

     I hope you Aussies are doing ok, are all prepped up from panic buying of supplies at the last moment. Here in the US (I reside in Florida), fear rules. Everybody, even liberals are buying guns, because they can see where this is going. It is hard to find anti-gun articles in the press at the moment. Me, I have always been fully armed up, with four black rifles, legal here of course, some Glock pistols, all legal, and shotguns. And, now I am diversifying, moving to get an array of medieval weapons, buying largely swords and fighting knives from Cold Steel over in Kalifornia, being all cashed up from selling of my business and retiring three month ago. Now I am into full scale apocalypse prepping, and having the time of my life buying up big. Poor Chris back in OZ with no real weapons beyond his wives rolling pin. My wife could not have kids, so there are just the two of us, and we have all we need to last us for years. Praise the Lord we are lucky. Others are dead, and some states are setting up makeshift morgues to house the dead:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/health/after-nyc-morgues-near-capacity-states-ask-emergency-fema-help

“New York City morgues are nearing capacity and will be full as soon as next week, according to a Department of Homeland Security official which was corroborated by a Politico source. Another person familiar with the situation said that the city's hospital morgues hit capacity sometime over the past week. That said, if New York City runs out of morgue space as the number of COVID-19 deaths increase, the Trump administration will step in and assist, according to a former senior admin official - who noted that the George W. Bush administration sent mortuary assistance after Hurricane Katrina and the September 11 attacks. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that one Manhattan hospital has set up a makeshift morgue in preparation for the surge in coronavirus victims as the city's death toll approaches 200. That said, not everyone is concerned. For now, city officials do not seem especially alarmed. Aja Worthy-Davis, a spokesperson for the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), said concerns about morgue capacity may be unfounded. In Manhattan alone, she said, OCME’s morgue can store up to 900 bodies. The city has a morgue for each of the five boroughs, she said. “We have the ability to expand pretty dramatically,” she said. “If you look back at what we did during 9/11, we have the ability to create mobile stations that allow us to house bodies if we run out of space.” -Politico

     I am not alone; there are more intelligent voices than me saying what I said days ago, that the Great Depression 2.0 is here, at least by implication:

     There are sober reports on this perfect storm of misery too:

     Our Nordic friend, Bjorn Bull-Hansen, who camps in the bush and philosophises drinking freshly brewed coffee, has never seen anything like this. Across Europe, schools, universities, work places, closed. For capitalism this is the apocalypse. But people are told not to panic, but they did.

Here is the claim that the real issue that Covid-19 raises is the old battle between state control/paternalism and liberal freedom, with state control seeming to win … at least while the state continues to function. At some level pandemics may simply collapse state functions, leading to no-one able to run the politic machinery, and hence political breakdown. But, that is a long way off yet, isn’t it? “Covid-19 is turning into a strategic contest between the social control model of China and the unruly, free-spirited pluralism of the West The world’s geopolitical order will be unrecognisable once Covid-19 has done its worst. Long-standing regimes will be badly compromised. Political systems that have never fully recovered from the Lehman crisis will suffer a second body blow. Those Western democratic governments that have been most complacent or incompetent will be torn to shreds by unforgiving electorates. Social media will see to that. Covid-19 is turning into a strategic contest between the social control model of China’s Communist Party and the unruly, free-spirited pluralism of the West. How that comparison plays out will shape the global order in the 21st Century. In this country, Brexit scarcely matters right now. Decimal points of GDP are irrelevant. Boris Johnson will be judged on whether or not his administration allows avoidable decimation of the elderly – and the not so elderly – and whether the National Health Service buckles in catastrophic institutional failure.

     Dopey Sweden is advertising itself as having benefits to give to all of the poor of the Third World, so that liberal whites there feel morally superior, and deludedly think that Sweden is a moral superpower, when really it is just a joke, that long ago ceased to be even mildly amusing:
  https://sputniknews.com/europe/201910291077172686-lure-for-migrants-outrage-as-government-webpage-markets-sweden-abroad-as-country-of-benefits/

“According to recent statistics, 94 percent of immigrants who've arrived in Sweden since the migrant crisis of 2015, rely on state benefits. The government-run website Sweden.se has landed in hot water for marketing Sweden abroad as a place where immigrants can receive very generous contributions and other bonuses, including health care. On the website, the reader is informed that Sweden has the world's longest parental leave and even provides illegal immigrants with dental care. The website also provides a detailed list of benefits and allowances. For instance, a family with six children receives a monthly SEK 4,240 ($430) and SEK 7,500 ($760) in multi-child allowances. The site is operated by the Swedish Institute (SI), a government body tasked with promoting the country's image abroad and promoting its interests. “I have no problem with signing up to the fact that we try to inform that Sweden is a welfare state. We have a system that sparks interest”, Per-Arne Wikström, the head of communications at the Swedish Institute, told TV4. He also admitted that the purpose of the webpage is to inform of Sweden's priorities and potentially arouse interest in emigrating to the country. The ploy to portray Sweden as a country of benefits irked politicians and ordinary Swedes alike. According to the newspaper Aftonbladet, 94 percent of the asylum seekers that arrived in Sweden since 2015 rely on state benefits. Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson called the site completely unreasonable. According to him, it sends a “completely wrong signal” about Sweden. “Incredible. The government's own authority markets Sweden abroad as a generous grant country. Everything in order to attract more people to Sweden. What Sweden needs is quotas in the welfare system and a strict migration policy. For a long time to come”, his party colleague Elisabeth Svantesson tweeted.”

     I have just got back from the doctors, and it was like something out of a zombie infection movie, being met at the door by staff, who assessed me as to whether I would be of any risk with respect to Covid 19 infection. My doctor said the clinic could close, so he wrote me a pile of scripts to see me out for maybe a few months, after which I will probably get sick and die, or find out that I did not need the meds at all, and was better of without them. I speculate. This was in my mind when I read this piece by James Fulford, on why Trump was right to call Covid 19, the “Chinese virus.” However, Fulford spells out the details of Chinese dietary practices and the health consequences, coming from the close interaction with all sorts of animals like bats, which are eaten. I respect the Chinese, but, I suppose the point has to be made, because if it was us that did the following, they would be pretty upset too, and rightly so:
  https://vdare.com/articles/the-fulford-file-the-china-virus-came-from-china-and-chinese-people-and-it-s-ok-to-say-so?scroll_to_paragraph=10

“The Novel Coronavirus, aka Corona, Wuhan Virus, or “Kung Flu,” came into being apparently via the unsanitary Chinese habit of eating live bats, etc., in the “wet markets” of Wuhan. This is not a racial characteristic, but a cultural one. People outside China don’t do it, much, but the whole world is suffering from it. David Cole of Takimag explained this on February 4, 2020 in a column Crazy Rich Asians Will Kill Us All:

     It may all be a conspiracy, or it could be the elites capitalising on events, but the present market freefall may well doom Trump, since this traitor has only the economy going for him, failing all of his election promises, so when that is taken from him, the sheeple, no, the voting poultry, will put Biden in, just for something new to do.
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2020/03/is-coronavirus-the-wrath-of-god/#more-118004

“A few days ago President Trump tweeted “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” New York Magazine called this a “terrifyingly ignorant” message . But is it? Conservative journalists have followed Trump’s lead. Steve Hilton of Fox News quoted a public health official  as saying “Most people — more than 85% — will have mild or no symptoms.” Hilton advised against panic. Rush Limbaugh claimed that Coronavirus is being “weaponized” to “bring down Trump,”  and compared it to the common cold. So who’s right? It’s really hard to say. All I know for certain is that the liberal media really is corrupt enough to deliberately exaggerate the danger of Coronavirus just to try to damage Trump in an election year. The primary objective would be to create economic chaos, which seems to already be happening. Trump seems to have decided to run for re-election almost entirely on economic good news, so the best way to hit him would be for the economy to tank prior to November. And we must also note the familiar pattern: the media and liberals simply oppose whatever Trump says and does. Because Trump has suggested that the threat of the virus may be overblown, naturally the Left must take the position that the virus is a huge threat and that Trump is dangerously irresponsible for downplaying it. As Paul Joseph Watson has pointed out, if Trump had hyped the danger of Corona, the media would call his response hysterical, and accuse him of planning to cancel the November election. And we already know that the media is actively telling lies about Trump’s response to Corona. More than a week ago, several liberal news outlets reported that Trump had called Coronavirus “a hoax” at one of his rallies.

     This is becoming a full-time job as I work late into the night reading numerous articles from dozens of sites to keep on top of the coronavirus pandemic. This latest news item is informative, since Sophie Trudeau, wife of Canada’s PM, Justin Trudeau, has now tested positive for the coronavirus. Thus, even the elites, at least the lower level puppet types like political leaders are getting the bug. But, my guess is that George Soros and higher up, will not.

“The Queen has quit Buckingham Palace over coronavirus fears after Corbra crisis talks, it has been reported. Her Majesty, 93, has been taken to Windsor Castle with plans in place to quarantine her and Prince Philip, 98, at Sandringham if the outbreak worsens. The news comes as Britain's coronavirus death rate almost doubled today as ten more people died, bringing total deaths to 21. A royal source told The Sun: 'She is in good health but it was thought best to move her. A lot of her staff are a bit panicky over coronavirus. 'The Queen has met a lot of people there until recently. But she is weeks away from her 94th birthday and advisers believe it is best to get her out of harm’s way.' Her Majesty's upcoming visits to Cheshire and Camden were yesterday postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.”

     I am now so paranoid and fearful, that even in my mind, I never wish ill of any human being, or even animal or insect, for fear that the cosmic powers punish me. I am becoming as humble as a Buddhist monk, or a celibate priest in a silent order.

     Just for a moment I was going to panic, maybe buy a baseball bat on eBay, or a rolling pin, but then the authorities told me that the stabbing spree was not terror related. Well, there I was thinking that bodies piling up in the city streets was “terror,” but it seems to be a terrorist, you need to belong to an official organisation, maybe having a membership card of sorts, or just be a white right winger:
  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/mar/12/melbourne-stabbing-rampage-three-people-dead-including-man-shot-by-police

“Three people are dead, including a man shot by police, after a stabbing rampage through Melbourne’s inner east. Police say the “random act of senseless violence” appears to have started about 10.40pm on Wednesday.
A protective services officer at Jolimont train station, near the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was approached by a stranger and stabbed in the arm and cheek with a kitchen knife. He received non-life threatening cuts to his face. Police say the attacker then got on a train and soon after, two women were found in a car at Coppin Grove in Hawthorn about 11.20pm with life-threatening stab wounds. Police said it appeared the women had just arrived home and were getting out of their car. One 30-year-old woman died and the other, a 31-year-old woman, is in the Alfred hospital in a critical condition. Police were then called to reports of a man stabbed near a tram stop in Kew about 12.15am on Thursday. That man, who was 59-years-old , died in hospital, while a second man was spotted by police a few hundred metres away, in Walton Street. “There is nothing to suggest at this stage this is nothing less than a random act of senseless violence,” assistant commissioner Glenn Weir told reporters at the scene.”

     South Africa is culturally very politically correct, with Black= good, White =bad. Almost all art follows that formula, as reliably as a Soviet dictate.
   https://www.amren.com/commentary/2020/03/the-first-rule-of-survival-south-african-film/

“There’s more patriotic that Afrikaners have been up to. Last year we wrote, financed, and shot the pro-white film Die Eerste Reël van Oorlewing, released with English subtitles as The First Rule of Survival. The film is set in the near future. South Africa has devolved into the anarchy we know is coming. A naive, apolitical girl, fleeing from the city, reaches a secure bunker from where she must defend a secret installation that is the key to survival. She must learn how to fight, and also why it is necessary to fight. She is guided by the designer of the installation, as well as a critically wounded man. As the enemy closes in, the three of them reflect on what it was that led to this sad situation, and what it will take to get out of it. My hope is that every Afrikaner will see the film, even if it is just to remind them of who they are. I would love for our white American and European brothers and sisters to see it as well. Hollywood’s releases aren’t much better than the South African mainstream, and The First Rule of Survival will be riveting and thought-provoking to whites facing demographic doom anywhere in the world. In a sense, it is a warning to the world’s white nations: Don’t ever entrust the future of your children to the reasonableness of unreasonable people.”

     Planes parked up, cruise ships anchored, airports deserted, tourists not touring, supermarket shelves bare, Disneyland shut, borders closing, motor races cancelled, no fans in the stands, smelters and factories closing, travel banned, oil and coal prices crashing, stock markets plunging, businesses closing, bankruptcies rising, hotels and motels unoccupied, politicians panicking, barbies cold - - looks like zero emissions is almost here.

To The Age         In answer to Henry Herzog (17/3) some important political matters are hardly mentioned, let alone discussed, in our major political forums. Obviously there is an unannounced censorship involved. Meanwhile there are plenty of examples on record of persons and groups seeking to further restrict free speech, such as by means of no-platforming events in universities or calls to extend by legislation the curbs on free speech already imposed by section 18C of the Racial Hatred Act. We do not want to see Australia follow the example of Germany by imprisoning honourable intellectuals merely for expressing dissident views which clandestine interests unjustifiably want silenced and falsely label 'hate speech'.
