  1. Here’s something interesting about our pal Chairman Xi. He was born in June, 1953. That made him 66 years and 6 months old in December, 2019. Readers of Revelations will know the significance of that number in association with the “dragon” — perhaps there is another person we need to track down when this is over. Although I suspect he is tracking us down at the same time.

    1. I read somewhere that Chairman Xi said that the number of Guns and number of Gun Owners in the US is a problem…I am sure he is referring to the fact that like a former leader said his biggest fear is that if the try to invade the US their would be a gun behind every blade of grass…..Steve O

      1. Mao Tse Tung said he needed all the guns. Because if he doesn’t have them all, they would be a problem to his power.

  2. The Chinese communist dictatorship wants to rule world but are militarily limited vs the USA. China despises the west. If it can’t beat the west yet and feels time is tight an economic collapse or at least crippling effects on short to medium term is high risk to #ChiComs but high reward too.

    1. China despises the west.

      I got that sense while I was finishing my last degree. We had a large number of grad students from the PRC in our department and they behaved as if they owned the place. Citizens like me were seen, and treated, as intruders and squatters.

      In my apartment complex, I would say a third of the tenants are from the PRC and I’m sure many of those little emperors have a similar attitude.

      1. Exactly. I don’t go on cruises, but if you talk to people who do, they say they’re always butting in line, saving window seats, generally just being obnoxious. It’s not racist to point that out, it’s just a fact of life.

        1. yea….and another “fact of life” is most can’t drive worth shit.
          Just ask your friendly neighbourhood Policeman…or Auto Insurance Salesperson.

          …..and I could care less if that’s considered Racissss. Drive a taxi for a few years or a week in NW Calgary and you’ll come to an identical conclusion….

      2. I used to know a number of first generation Chinese engineers and a bunch of non-Chinese people who had occasion to visit the PRC. Apparently a lot of it is the one-child policy and the preference for male children; the result is an entire generation of only children who have been doted on by their parents their entire life because they’re going to carry on the family line.

        Insufferable little turds, in other words.

        1. In Chinese they are known as Little Emperors. In the second generation of the one-child policy, each of them is doted on by six adults — the two parents plus the four grandparents. They literally vie for his affection, since he is the only child in their collective lives.
          It’s partly that, and partly the nouveau riche syndrome. I went with my wife to her high school reunion in Hong Kong, and thence to a Yangtze cruise with some of them. They booked a Chinese cruise. In the regular dining hall we were the only non-Chinese nationals (Canadian or American citizens) who spoke Cantonese natively. It was the most horrible cruise I ever went on. The other passengers acted like they were refugees from a famine. They lined up half an hour before the hall opened, and rushed to fill all the food stalls. It wasn’t as though there was a shortage. I literally had a ladle taken out of my hand as I pondered on which soup to have. I just took it right back and cursed her in Mandarin. We learned soon enough to go half an hour after the hall opened, and all was peace and quiet. Well at least in the food line. They all spoke at the top of their lungs. There were other problems not related to the behavior of the passengers.
          When I returned home I told a friend about the experience. He laughed and said it was famous. He called them derisively Citizens of a Strong Nation. Because that was what they thought they were, at long last, and damned if they weren’t going to flaunt it.
          And thirdly the Chinese students who made it to North American universities were the creme de la creme of China. So they had been coddled their whole lives by every person they met. But they were only creme de la creme in a system that demanded nothing more than regurgitation of spoon fed information. Most of them were completely lacking in innovation and imagination, traits probably frowned upon in Chicom education.

          1. How informative! And so logically correct. Sounds as though this attitude has less to do with “being Chinese” than a host of other maladies. How I treasure reading your comments 🙂

            So, did I recall the headline correctly? That the final EPL standings are going to be somehow “mathematically” calculated? Ugh. I honestly feel sick, on behalf of ALL Liverpool fans who are being robbed of their LEGITIMATE overwhelming championship

          2. It has to do with being Chicom though.
            Traditionally, China referred to itself as the realm of manners and “yi” 禮義之邦. This word “Yi” is difficult to translate. It has connotations of knight errant, noblesse oblige, oaths of friendship taken to the nth degree. A people who strive to be such would err more on hypocrisy than boorishness, one would think. However, the Chicom has destroyed traditional Chinese culture in its first thirty years, but failed to replace it with any other social more, except obedience to the Party. When the Party lifts its strictest protocol, the people sort of behave as the mythical (for me at least, alas) wild ministers’ daughters away in college, unrestrained by any social more at all.

            To change the subject, I found several Liverpool football sites, and took part a bit in the conversation. The native Liverpool fans were avidly debating where they wanted the Guard of Honour (upon clinching the EPL) ceremony to be held. Some wanted at home in Anfield, but others debated which rival to better rub their noses in, Everton or Man City. Alas, it looks like they will have none of the above. Ironically, something did happen to Liverpool’s grand march to the championship. Of course, just before that, the season sort of already felt like an anticlimax after crashing out of the Champions League.

          3. But they were only creme de la creme in a system that demanded nothing more than regurgitation of spoon fed information. Most of them were completely lacking in innovation and imagination, traits probably frowned upon in Chicom education.

            I noticed something similar while I was a grad student. Many of them were good at writing exams but they had little or no practical aptitude. I shuddered to think of what sort of engineers they would be out in the field.

            On the other hand, while I was an undergrad, most of the Chinese students were from Hong Kong and a lot of them were sharp. Then again, the educational system they were accustomed to encouraged and rewarded such talent. In addition, they had to be good in order to qualify for studying overseas.

          4. Hong Kong under British rule was a different system entirely. The top secondary schools were called “colleges.” A few were run by the British on the model of British “public schools” like Eton or Harrow. Even though they were normal day schools, not residences, we were still divided into “Houses” for purposes of competition ranging from the arts to sports.
            Most of the other prestigious schools were Catholic, presumably run on the same model, but I am not entirely certain.

        3. An Army of millions of insufferable little turds with no prospects of wives, unless they get them from somewhere else. Good incentive to be in the Military.

      3. On a bright note, many have bought the “China has recovered” BS and are fleeing the west to return home to “safety”.

      4. Ha! B.A. … I didn’t encounter “The Chinese” and the attitude you experienced at such a lofty location as college … but in another unique setting. One year, my family ended up at Disneyland … on Thanksgiving Day! Why? Well, one of my sister-in-laws was going through an ugly divorce and her kids were with “bad dad” on Thanksgiving Day … so we had our Thanksgiving on Friday that year.

        So who? goes to Disneyland on Thanksgiving Day? Answer: mostly Chinese, Gays and Lesbians. Mostly. Lots and lots and lots of those groups. And the Chinese were the WORST. They pushed and shoved my kids out of line, they were rude … and most oddly of all … they refused to speak, answer, or even deign to LOOK at me or my kids. They had a shocking disdain for everybody around them. It was so odd … and so antisocial … that I’ve never forgotten that weird day at Disneyland. Having been to Disneyland multiple times with my kids … I’ve NEVER experienced anything quite like that “Chinese-day” at Disneyland.

        Sorry OB … I KNOW you weren’t there that day … and if you had been … my whole experience would have been +

        1. Some of that might be simply a difference in cultures.

          I remember, while I was growing up, either my parents or I would do certain things, which might have been considered normal and acceptable in the old country, but which were frowned upon or mocked over here. It took us a while to catch on to how things were done.

          Still, it doesn’t completely explain, or excuse, the behaviour you saw.

          1. Yes, all of us “half” generation (not quite “first” but almost) immigrants went through that. Two humorous for instances illustrate opposite ends of the health spectrum.
            When I left Hong Kong, it still had mostly a third world population, though some of the tycoons were already very rich, even by western standards. If a kid drops a piece of food on the ground, he would pick it up, wipe off the part that touched the ground, and eat it. I did that when I first got to the U.S., to the disgust of everyone.
            On the other hand, I learned to sit in a circle and pass a bottle of Coke around. You wipe off the top, take a sip, and pass it on. You would never, ever, do that in China.
            So you can’t really say one culture (at least with the kids) is more hygienic than the other. Are you more averse to dirt or someone else’s saliva? (Objectively, dirt might cause less disease, unless something else is on the ground.) It is just a matter of habit.

  3. doesn’t matter if the rest of the world(the west) turns commie..
    if chna does not rule the west by direct control, they will continue their
    threats..

  5. Interesting twitter feed from Peter Kolchinsky a virologist and investor.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/PeterKolchinsky

    Things I learned:

    There are many type of virus that cause flu and colds.

    There are four type of corona viruses that normally cause flu.

    This corona virus is a new one.

    I’m always leary of tweets, other than for humour, but this author seems to make sense.

  7. An interesting article on how to handle the Wuhan virus

    https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56

    Essentially a severe lockdown to buy us more time so we have far fewer deaths. Fewer deaths from Wuhan virus and fewer deaths from heart attacks etc.

    “There are 4 million admissions to the ICU in the US every year and 500k deaths (~13%)”. What happens if you have a heart attack and the ICU is full?

    The latter part of the article shows their opinion of the most promising strategy to handle this outbreak.

  8. I’m surprised that Prinz Dummkopf didn’t mandate something like that. After all, in this “country”, it’s better to die of a pestilence than to be seen as racist.

  10. “U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday took Boeing Co. and some airlines to task for buying back shares with the cash boost from a 2018 tax break, vowing to ensure that companies benefiting from coronavirus stimulus won’t follow suit.”
    Reuters March 20, 2020 (emphasis added)

    Someone tell the Socialist President that the business of the government is to …

    1. The top brass at Boeing knew their pals in Wall Street would try a controlled demolition of the financial system before Trump’s first term was over, though probably they didn’t know exactly how. So of course they took the money and ran.

      Selling your shares is only an outrage if you’re a Republican senator.

      1. The buying back of Company Stock is a TAX free benefit to shareholders…. The Tax code penalizes all profit that is taxed @ the Corp level and then the, after tax, issued dividends are taxed on each Shareholder (double Taxation). The buy back does not trigger a taxable event for the shareholder, until shares are sold….

        The issue is why are Companies that don’t need the money getting bailed out of nothing….Strange that
        in 2008 MOST Banks didn’t want, or need the Money

        JMHO

  11. I know this is a generalization but It is a bit out of character for Chinese to pull a ‘look at poor me’ stunt like that.
    Italy has one of the most active communist parties in Europe. My bet is the commies put him up to that bs.

    1. nold, italy and Israel were the 2 countries that had viable communist parties during the cold war , go figure!

  13. Kate

    Did you see this other CPC stunt in Vancouver? https://globalnews.ca/news/6699697/volunteer-group-donation-vgh-coronavirus/ They didn’t even bother to get an English speaker. Nowhere in any of the reports on this event did I see anyone from the hospital administration accepting these things. In fact it would be irresponsible for the hospital to accept these things from an unknown source. Also notice the women opening the packages in one of the reports and pawing what should be sterile items. Of course all of the reporters that covered this were completely uncritical.

    1. Funny, I can’t find the video report from a few days ago. Looks like Global has erased it.

    2. ““It’s not just herself or ourselves, we represent many in the Chinese community,” said spokesperson Caryn Zhang through a translator.”

      Canadian who can’t speak English (or French)!

      1. Yup. Chinese is now the third language of (what used to be) Canada. I’ve seen that at the bank machines. Even in my apartment complex, there are two Chinese on staff who work as translators because some of the tenants can’t speak English.

        When my parents came to this country (with a very young me in tow), they already knew some English because we all came from the British Sector of Berlin. Being able to speak the local language was not only a matter of necessity but also of pride. It showed that we wanted to be here and were determined to stay.

        1. Yes, I’ve heard that it was once the norm. It’s sad now because I know a few Europeans who tried to get permanent resident status and gave up. Fluent in English. But unilingual Chinese? “Here’s your Canadian passport!”

          The Bay in Vancouver has “bilingual” signs up in the cosmetics department – In English and Chinese.

  14. It appears to be staged by the XINHUA, the communist press agents.
    No conspiracy, no secrets, no coverup.

    Pure communist propaganda.

    What is amazing is, that so many apparently normal people get sucked in and voluntary help the same propaganda.

    Yes the society, specifically the western civilization is going down hill.

    The only question remains, will it stop in time to save itself?

    Feels as though the propaganda virus is more effective than the Wuhan flu

    1. As it has been always the case , the problem is that useful idiots and traitors are a yuan a dozen and they are very destructive.
      No wonder why Dante put them on the darkest corner of hell (a shame woke Italians don’t read him anymore).
      This is a long but worth watching video, that tells what it is in store for HK and can be extrapolated to what will happen next in Chinada by looking back at the history of Tibet.
      Enjoy during your quarantine!

  15. From Kyle Bass Twitter feed.
    https://twitter.com/Jkylebass/status/1241365839779106817?s=19
    Tedros said widespread travel bans and restrictions were not needed to stop the outbreak and could “have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit.” – What “stigma” was he referring to? He should be removed IMMEDIATELY.

    Bobblehead Patti Hajdu along with the rest of the Lieberal cabinet reiterated the same words 3 weeks ago.
    Both are UNQUALIFIED for their postions.

  16. Wuhan is a combination of the names of two cities, like Budapest, Wuzhang and Hankow. (There is a third small town called Hanyang.) But now it is considered one city. Wu means martial or military, as in wushu for martial arts. Hankow means Hanmouth (as in Bournemouth) after the Han River, which meets the Yangtze at Wuhan. But Han is also what the major ethnic Chinese group (over 90%) calls itself. In many cases it is used as a synonym for Chinese.
    So, literally, Wuhan virus is very aptly named, especially if suspicions that it is created in a Wuhan germ warfare lab turn out to be true. Wuhan virus, the militarized Chinese virus.
