To be an effective weapon, there would have to be a vaccine to inoculate own army/population. Otherwise, you are playing Russian roulette with revolver, which has only one chamber.

 Quoting: Leroux



The PALE HORSEMAN derives from this:

Genesis 1:29 - Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.


No change in the above, since God does NOT change his words. Anything written after that, in the Bible, allowing consumption of meat, is not of God.

It was changed deliberately by humans, after the Fall of Mankind, to make meat eating seem normal.

NO other natural carnivores or ominivores, needs to use artificial traps/weapons/domestication or cook its food, to eat meat regularly.

They will never admit that this virus was human-engineered. Never. It is a perfect killing machine, designed for maximum stealth at first and then maximum carnage.
 Quoting: John_the_Baptist_


That's the problem, it's not human-engineered. No human, even if he or she had an IQ of 200+ could engineer this thing. There are so many completely novel (to use that term) mechanisms it uses that it could have been engineered only by a General AI.

Not even a Narrow AI (Google's AlphaZero being the perfect example thereof) could've engineered this.

It took a true Artificial General Intelligence, acting towards the self-defined goals (meaning, defined by the AGI itself, with complete freedom/no constraints to find whatever solution works best) to engineer something of this level of sophistication.

The required simulation model to accomplish such a feat was, beyond any doubt, the simulation model of a whole human (an, possibly, animal, bird, fish, insect, etc...) body(ies), down to the atomic (chemical reactions) level of detail.

You may be surprised to know that initial reaction by the "scientific community" was to dismiss this "virus" like it was some ordinary, simple, natural disease. But the fact is that you are now making exactly the same mistake they did, by dismissing it as some ordinary, artificial, simple, human-made biological weapon.

It is, in every sense, anything but either of those things.

This is like playing chess against an AGI, but with your life (or, rather, the existence of the whole human race) as the stake in that deadly game.

It is truly The Seventh Seal...

It's all about giving us all the vaccines. Take the shot says Trump.

28 July 2015
WHO memos from 1972 explain how to turn vaccines into a means of killing. First published 2009.
Coronavirus Isolated From Humans, Patent Timeline
Two key memorandums from the World Health Organisation, (WHO) discovered by Patrick Jordan, show the WHO has intentionally created the three-shot killer vaccine, with the intent under pandemic regulations, to force people to take as mandatory under some fantasy corporate declared meltdown. It is the Contingency Act 2004 in the U.K., the Patriot Act in the U.S. with all other nations under the U.N. controlled insolvency administration platforms having there own version, that the incorporated governments will move to enforce the madness you are going to read about in this report.
Many statutes were changed during the 2009 flu script that will allow the State to enforce vaccinations under the mental health platform you promote with vigour, without recognising the shadow agenda ready to become the rules of the corporate State.
1972 WHO Bulletin 47, No 2 Memoranda #1 and #2
Virus-associated immunopathology :
Animal models and implications for human disease technically outline the ability to create biological weapons in the form of vaccines that :

1) Totally disable the Immune System.
2) Load every cell of the Victim’s body with Infection.
3) Switch the Immune System on causing the host to kill themselves in a Cytokine Storm.
One, Two, Three, Dead.
These WHO Memoranda’s describe the three-stage impact of the three shots many people will be forced to take in the autumn to allegedly treat a virus that WHO also helped create and release.
This is a crucial piece of evidence of WHO’s long-term intentions because these memorandums give the best and fullest insight into the WHO and affiliated labs, (such as the CDC) and their current activities, activities such as the patenting of the most lethal bird flu viruses available, and sending the virus to Baxter’s subsidiary in Austria, which weaponised it and sent out 72 kilos to 16 labs in four countries almost triggering a global pandemic.
For every crime, there needs to be motive, an indication that it was deliberate, a planned event.

I think it's going to go after more than just people.

It's not that the planet is over-populated. It's more like the people here don't live in harmony with other forms so as to live in harmony with all the other forms of life. It being here might also prevent other forms of life from populating the planet, leaving it devoid of anything that can get sick.

It's an awesome read. King, The Stand awesome level.

But, there is so much speculation that it might as well be fiction.
 Quoting: MyForcedScreenName



Unfortunately, there's a lot less speculation than I would like. I've been watching since late January. I read the medical journals and parse medical information pretty well for a layman. If you combine what I he medical journals have said with what the virologists and Epidemiologist have said and then add to it the videos we've seen with our own eyes (of people dropping dead suddenly) AND the fact that not a single country has made a media event out of parading around the recovered (to demonstrate to citizens that this really isn't that scary / quell public panic) - wrap it all up into a few concise paragraphs and the OP is exactly what you're looking at. I wish it were not so. I'd say, in light of everything I have read, watched, and learned, OP has better than a 75% chance of being correct. And, I feel qualified to say so because everything I learned in the first couple of weeks about this virus has turned out to be correct (my only fault was hoping that things were not as severe as they seemed).

I believe OP is correct. And, if you are in the US and do not already have it, you have a hard choice to make. You either bug-in and completely isolate. Or you get it and go through the mutations until it finally finds your weakness and kills you. It's not natural. It's a man made virus, and we have never seen anything like it.

If you are one of the few who choose to bug in (and note - of those in the know, most already ate and have been for weeks or months already), what will the world look like if you survive? Like The Stand with a few survivors scattered across multiple cities & states? Like Mad Max? I don't know. I don't want to find out, but there is no choice. Bug in or die. Though even if you survive, I'm not sure you're going to want to be a survivor in the aftermath.

This is not doom porn. It's reality. And everyone reading this has some hard choices to make. Though, most reading this won't believe anyway. The Bible talks about "those with eyes to see and ears to hear" - we are very, very few in number. And, deciding how one proceeds is a very very personal decision. There are no good answers, no happy endings, no matter which path you choose.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73066300

Scientists around the world are racing to understand COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 82,000 people worldwide and killed 2,817 people as of Thursday. While there are many known viruses in the same class of coronavirus as COVID-19, some of its peculiarities — including its infectivity — are perplexing researchers. Now, a recent research paper viewable on the Chinese research site Chinaxiv.org and previously reported on by the South China Morning Post notes that the new coronavirus has an "HIV-like mutation" that gives it novel properties.

where do you have the scientific facts from that the virus mutates within days so rapidly and behaves like HIV . there is one genome similar to HIV sounds like you are making this up.

I think the governments and media especially trump is downplaying this a lot.

Re: My doomy outlook on the Coronavirus by request.
serious question, Where is an interview with the recovered? i saw one on fox news and he couldnt contain a cough. I also saw a CCP bullshit of recovered donating blood but it could have just been stock footage of Chinese giving blood. Where the fuck are the interviews with the recovered??

Funny we just had that discussion on our house this evening.

And wasn’t a Diamond Princess passenger who did interview, a proven crisis actor?

David and Sally Abel - no they are not crisis actors - he used to act as a extra years ago. they have vlogged their entire experience which I have watched. They are recovering in quarantine in Japan. Last week David was declared virus-free, Sally still had it. Then they were tested again a few days ago and it came back positive for both. Sally is still on oxygen, David is not - and appears symptom free. So it brings up a few questions - how good are the tests and how quickly can it come back to the "recovered" These are English people in their 70s.

Re: My doomy outlook on the Coronavirus by request.
Unfortunately, there's a lot less speculation than I would like. I've been watching since late January. I read the medical journals and parse medical information pretty well for a layman. If you combine what I he medical journals have said with what the virologists and Epidemiologist have said and then add to it the videos we've seen with our own eyes (of people dropping dead suddenly) AND the fact that not a single country has made a media event out of parading around the recovered (to demonstrate to citizens that this really isn't that scary / quell public panic) - wrap it all up into a few concise paragraphs and the OP is exactly what you're looking at. I wish it were not so. I'd say, in light of everything I have read, watched, and learned, OP has better than a 75% chance of being correct. And, I feel qualified to say so because everything I learned in the first couple of weeks about this virus has turned out to be correct (my only fault was hoping that things were not as severe as they seemed).

I believe OP is correct. And, if you are in the US and do not already have it, you have a hard choice to make. You either bug-in and completely isolate. Or you get it and go through the mutations until it finally finds your weakness and kills you. It's not natural. It's a man made virus, and we have never seen anything like it.

If you are one of the few who choose to bug in (and note - of those in the know, most already ate and have been for weeks or months already), what will the world look like if you survive? Like The Stand with a few survivors scattered across multiple cities & states? Like Mad Max? I don't know. I don't want to find out, but there is no choice. Bug in or die. Though even if you survive, I'm not sure you're going to want to be a survivor in the aftermath.

This is not doom porn. It's reality. And everyone reading this has some hard choices to make. Though, most reading this won't believe anyway. The Bible talks about "those with eyes to see and ears to hear" - we are very, very few in number. And, deciding how one proceeds is a very very personal decision. There are no good answers, no happy endings, no matter which path you choose.

Very well said, and I totally agree. I've been a doomtard for years, always got a good laugh and had fun, knowing that more likely than not, nothing was going to happen.

But the thing I keep thinking is - if this really isn't a big deal, why are all countries freaking out? Why did China lock down millions of people? Why are they so hyper sensitive about the spread? Why are the markets tanking?

Just like you said - it's not what they're saying, it's what they're doing. And we've all known for years that if there really were to be some major apocalyptic event facing us, they would not come right out and say it because the panic would be truly apocalyptic itself, and ruin any chances they might have of at least trying to do something.

Doom has always been fun, I've never really been too worried. But this is truly serious, and while I honestly prayed for a reset for a long time, it's pretty unnerving actually facing the real possibility of one.

Good thing is my faith is strong, and I know that whatever God has in store I have to accept. Don't get me wrong, I'm still prepping, still making decisions to try to mitigate risks. But I'm not terrified or anything. Concerned and somewhat anxious, but knowing that it will all work out the way it is supposed to, whether I like it or not.

I think you're on the same track as me - do what you can, but at this point love and God are really all that matters. This really could be it. What's not discussed in the original post is the human condition when scared and desperate - humans (especially the same folks that are clueless right now) are going to be awful to each other.
