The corona is the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun's surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. So basically this virus is being activated in certain individuals with energy affinity with the corona- hanging out in groups also generates electric fields which could create such interactions.

Countries like Singapore, HKG, and Taiwan most likely already have a shield on top for years now thus the numbers are low. And China has covered most of its major cities now.

Looking at the footage from Indian fires and Nigeria crater- these energies are tremendous and varied.

Plus this video

Once the corona activity reduces or seizes-
"it will all go away like a miracle" !

I dunno what's really goin on mate, virus is real but i agree it feels like more! I am a Brit living inNepal and we have been passed the message that all British citizens overseas should return home if possible and to contact consulate with passport numbers etc for countries in lock down for possible evac flights... That is very strange imo as they don't mean just tourists but the hundreds of thousands of expats etc.

Doomy, very doomy!
 Quoting: curry nosher


I find that odd too. Why would they want you to come home for a virus that has spread around the world and is present in Britain too? What difference does it make whether you are in Nepal or Britain for a pandemic? No country is prepared to deal with a pandemic.

Our national grid contains some very large transformers that are critical to the big picture, if one goes down cascading blackouts will ensue. I don’t believe we any for back up, and to get a new one in the best of times is 18 months IIRC, and China is the only place we can get them. It’s been posted here numerous times

I wonder if that has anything to do with what’s going on?

Medical ships afloat, hospitals being built everywhere and lockdown orders. Yeah, there is a virus but by all measurable means, NONE of this adds up. Huge amounts of lending to get cash in to the system quickly to ride out a storm that has yet to emerge. No one believes this. Stories about aliens and asteroids... still, not enough evidence to support it. Brix and Fouche talk like isolation will make this virus disappear and no one will get it. Insanity.

Last night I believe Trump gave us the final piece to the puzzle. Likely not on purpose either.

He used the word generator rather than ventilator numerous times. At first, I thought it was odd but thought nothing of it. That wasn't an accident. It was a Freudian slip. He said it because he's been discussing it. Why? Why would power go out?

Let me ask a couple more questions.. Why is Ford, Tesla and GM making 'ventilators'? What the hell do they know about ventilators? Maybe these automobile manufacturers aren't really making ventilators. Maybe they're making GENERATORS. I think they are the MOST qualified for emergency generator production.

Why do we need generators? Is the power going out? Why are we all on lockdown? WTF is happening?

PERHAPS, government is trying to salvage humanity. PERHAPS they know an EMP is coming or a war is inevitable. Maybe they know about a kill shot coming from the sun; I don't know. But NOW, this all makes sense with that final 'generator' piece. Being in your home will reduce chaos initially. NYC and LA CLEARED TO GHOST TOWNS will help. This all makes sense.

It all makes sense for an EMP. Staging hospitals for the mass panic and lawlessness that will surely occur. Civil war breaking out against NG and eventually military. They will need hospitals everywhere... FIELD HOSPITALS.... NAVAL SHIP HOSPITALS.

An EMP makes all the sense in the world. ALL OF THIS makes sense in preparation for a post-EMP World.
Grid DOWN.

This level of prep, plus millions of megawatts of portable power is what would be needed in the wake. Every able bodied man and women working to restore infrastructure. Calling up a MILLION inactive soldiers, recalling medically capable retirees, Trump saying we have 'so much ammunition'. Why? So we don't act up? Keep cool?

Think about it. Does any other theory make this much sense??

EDIT: In addition, this is not a secret. What do you have to say to major league sports, Las Vegas and Disney to get them to close a trillion dollar industry in a week to a complete ghost town?

You tell them this is an ELE. We know it's happening. You need to come to grips with this and do whats right for our species. People must be home where they feel most safe, not trapped all over the world travelling about.

Think of what had to be said to these people to get them ALL to uniformly fall in line. It could not have been a 'suspicion' or 'probability' It was an absolute certainty. The same level of certainty needed to tear down our entire economy.

This behavior CANNOT be a 'good will effort'. This is a certainty and nothing matters if humanity doesn't survive... so fuck it. By any means necessary.. and they certainly are taking that mentality to heart.

They created a virus and worldwide pandemic because of EMP's?

:rere23:
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78704077



The virus is real but I think it's just the flu. The numbers dying might be typical or fake. I've yet to see a single video of people of ventilators.

I've seen videos of typical over crowded hospitals with people in PPE and respirators. Nothing unusual. I've seen fake bodies being loaded into tractor trailers. I know this is fake because they'd have a basic tent setup to hide this, not gurneys on the public streets. No rise in obituaries, no ERs with lines around the corner... not a single field hospital in use anywhere. No evidence except numbers on a screen... Where are the videos? Where are the obits? Where are the bodies, the crowded hospitals, the pandemic?

It isn't. It's the flu. It's just being used as a reason to do what they're doing.

Retooling would be VERY easy. Compell a company like GE to crank out alternators (the electrical portion of the generator) and GM can punch a simple mating plate to join it to their engines.

This is simple stuff and could be up and running, productively, within a week.

Generators are SIMPLE tech.
 Quoting: TinfoilHatMan


Mass building generators would require so much copper wire - which has to come from somewhere. Track the raw materials needed and you can guess what is being made.

Re: Theory for the madness. THIS is the soundest explaination. Trump slipped. I think it's an EMP(s?)
Not sure about your theory, albeit possibly very valid, but I will say this...since the first I heard about these companies re-tooling to make ventilators I knew something was wrong. It doesn't make sense at all.

I have A LOT of experience in the medical field, 20+yrs Med Tech Oncology, as well as plant re-tooling and machinery moving. After my medical career I became a Machinery Rigger, basically I was contracted by factories, specifically Ford Motor Co, to go into the plants to dismantle, move and reassemble robotics, machinery and production lines that was either sold, discontinued or was being moved to other plants. I ran a full crew as well as being the Operations Manager for the company, I have tons of experience in logistics concerning efforts like this, and I'm telling you with the utmost confidence that there's no possible way these plants will EVER be re-tooled in time to even make a dent in the country's ventilator needs any time soon.

It takes numerous months to break down these lines and machines and prep them for movement and storage, the logistics alone are a nightmare let alone the process of disassembly, loading and offloading. After all that is done and the space is made within the plants, the entire ventilation system for each plant would also have to be torn out and completely rebuilt to suit the safety and sanitary guidelines of medical equipment manufacturing, as well as clean rooms being built within the plants. During all of this, other plants will have to be re-tooled and/or enlarged to build the machines needed to build the product itself, and then you have the logistics of delivery, off-loading and assembly of new production lines, etc etc etc. Then inspections take place, and they NEVER pass anything without weeks to months more work to fix mistakes cited by inspectors and safety officials. You see where I'm headed with this?

On top of all that, there aren't even close to the number of rigging companies with experienced riggers needed to pull this off, nowhere near enough. Granted, you could bring in a lot of the laid-off skilled tradesmen, but remember they're all union, and the rigging companies aren't, so you also have union contracts to deal with. This is a truly MASSIVE UNDERTAKING on many, many levels.

It makes much more sense that they were being re-tooled to produce a product like generators. The process would be far faster with much less oversight and regulations, and a large majority of the machinery already presently being used can be converted to producing the parts needed for this type of product, and a large majority of the work could be done in-house by skilled trades already present.
 Quoting: SiniXster the Dread


Suddenly, the red tape will disappear now. What took months if you ever got it, is now encouraged and waved through.

Laid off workers aren't union now. The union is for the company workforce, not for the worker himself.

Some of your objections are non-operative.

That would truly be a worst case scenario. And even if you do have a personal generator, that’s not going to help too much.

I wrote on here long ago that we had to have circuit breakers or something to deal with an EMP attack, and very likely repeated EMP attacks, tactical and strategic.

That makes sense in the case of ordering the GM plant back into operation.

If AI was on the verge of growing beyond our control...
And something akin to a global EMP was needed to stop the AI in its tracks...
Would you consider using an overblown virus pandemic in order to get GM & Ford to make generators in order to bring certain key infrastructure back online quickly and to make sure that everyone was safe at home when you set it off?

China was the leader in cryto mining. All that computing power for AI to utilize, maybe AI's first move was to release the virus as a shot across our bow.

Yes. An AI that wished to harm us would use a biological weapon, because it would be of no danger to the AI.

An AI using EMP as a weapon would be like Superman attacking Lex Luther with Kryptonite. More dangerous to him than to Lex. An AI wouldn't want to do ANYTHING involving EMP.
