  1. US/UK Intelligence Warn China Is Trying To Hack Bio-Labs Working On COVID Research

    .......experts also warn that China could “shut down an entire city by falsely reporting COVID-19 infections.”

    Intelligence agencies in the UK and the US have jointly warned that ‘rival states’ are conducting ‘malicious cyber campaigns’ against universities, pharmaceuticals and research institutes carrying out research on the coronavirus.

    A joint advisory published Tuesday by the UK’s GCHQ run National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), stressed that healthcare workers and medical research officials should up their security amid hacking attempts.

    The briefing did not specifically name any countries involved in the cyber-attacks, However, China, Russia and Iran are thought to be behind the attempts to steal information.

    The warning described “advanced persistent threat” (APT) groups carrying out the cyber attacks on medical research and healthcare organisations as well as local government “to collect bulk personal information, intellectual property and intelligence that aligns with national priorities”.

    The intelligence agencies warned that the attacks consisted of “password spraying” campaigns, which involved repeatedly hitting a target with common passwords in the hope that one unlock sensitive systems.

    Sky News reports that institutes in the UK, such as the NHS and pharmaceutical companies, have not successfully been infiltrated, but attacks on research centres elsewhere have been successful.

    A security source last night told the Daily Mail that hackers had targeted the ground-breaking research programme at Oxford University.

    British foreign secretary Dominic Raab described the attacks as “particularly venal” owing to the fact that they specifically targeted international and national organisations responding to the coronavirus outbreak.

    “There are various objectives and motivations that lie behind these attacks, from fraud on the one hand to espionage,” Raab said at the government’s daily briefing Tuesday.

    “We expect this kind of predatory criminal behaviour to continue and evolve over the coming weeks and months ahead, and we are taking a range of measures to tackle the threat.” he added.

    “We’re absolutely determined to defeat coronavirus, and also to defeat those trying to exploit the situation for their own nefarious ends.” Raab further urged.


    The news also dovetails with a warning that states such as China could easily shut down entire western cities by hijacking proposed coronavirus contact-tracing apps and surveillance systems.

    The Brookings Institution in Washington published a paper in April written by three leading US academics in the fields of science, tech and law warning that “The issue of malicious use is paramount. Trolls could sow chaos for the malicious pleasure of it. Protesters could trigger panic as a form of civil disobedience. A foreign intelligence operation could shut down an entire city by falsely reporting COVID-19 infections in every neighborhood. There are a great many vulnerabilities underlying this platform that have still yet to be explored.

    Researcher On Cusp Of COVID-19 Breakthrough Killed In Bizarre Murder-Suicide

    .......

    The researcher, 37-year-oild Bing Liu, was found shot multiple times in the head, neck and torso around Noon on Saturday. Nothing was stolen from the townhouse and there was no forced entry, according to the Post Gazette. He worked in the college's department of computational and systems biology at the Pitt School of Medicine.

    "Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications," the department announced in a written statement, adding "We will make an effort to complete what he started in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence."

  2. If these actions by the Chinese and or Russian governments are true, they portend malicious intent and the possibility of a "soft" attack before a hard (military) attack.
     
  3. James O'Keefe strikes again.....

    ‘CBS News This Morning’ Aired Faked COVID-19 Drive-Through Testing Site Line of Cars
    (VIDEO)



    [Mamaroneck, N.Y.—May 6, 2020] A CBS News crew pulled medical professionals off the floor at the Cherry Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to line up in their vehicles so a CBS film crew would have a long line for their COVID-19 coverage.

    • 'We Could Have Done Other Stuff,” Registered Nurse complains.

    • ‘Apparently, the news crew wanted more people in the line,’ said a Cherry Health Supervisor.

    • “We pretended. There were a couple of real patients, which made it worse,” Said
      Another Registered Nurse.
    [Mamaroneck, N.Y.—May 6, 2020] A CBS News crew pulled medical professionals off the floor at the Cherry Medical Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to line up in their vehicles so a CBS film crew would have a long line for their COVID-19 coverage.

    “Our insider witnessed the whole thing and came to Project Veritas, because he knew we would protect him,” said James O’Keefe, the founder and CEO of Project Veritas.

    “The insider told us that medical personnel were taken away from treating patients and making the line longer for actual patients wait for the COVID-19 test,” he said.

    In an interview with the insider, O’Keefe asked the insider: “You're telling me you're a hundred percent certain that CBS News, CBS News Corporation--national, staged a fake event. They faked the news. They faked the reality and broadcasted that to all of their audience last Friday on “CBS This Morning.”

    The insider said to him: “A hundred percent. Absolutely.”

    Nick Ross, a corporate cleaning site supervisor at the Cherry Health facility, said he was there when the CBS News crew arrived and set up the video shoot at the COVID-19 testing site in the parking lot, "Apparently the news crew wanted more people in the line because they knew it was scheduled.”

    Maria Hernandez-Vaquez, a professional registration specialist, told the insider that Cherry Health Director of Quality and Informatics Glenda Walker helped to organize the facility’s workers into the COVID-19 testing line.

    “It's just annoying cause we could have done other stuff,” said one registered nurse there recorded with a hidden camera by a Project Veritas insider.

    The nurse said personnel at the medical center were given the heads-up to expect the CBS News crew. “We knew they were coming. We had no clue that we’re going to have to, like, do fake patients.”

    Another registered nurse, Alison Mauro, recorded on hidden camera, said she and other medical professionals working the drive-through testing site did not administer the actual swab swipe as CBS News was filming, but the actual patients were made to wait longer because of the manufactured line. “We pretended. There were a couple of real patients, which made it worse.”

    The footage was used to accompany CBS News reporter Andriana Diaz’s narration and interview with Tasha Blackmon, the president and CEO of Cherry Health.

    In the CBS News report, Blackmon told her facility needed gowns and N95 masks, which filter incoming breath to protect the medical professional.

    Cherry Health President and CEO Tasha Blackmon told Project Veritas in a phone conversation: "We and CBS News had nothing to do with that line."

    Blackmon said she had not viewed the preview of the Project Veritas report that had been emailed to her, and that after reviewing the matter with her team, she would give Project Veritas a statement. Project Veritas followed up with phone calls and emails, but there was no further response before the deadline.

    Project Veritas also spoke to CBS News President Susan Zirinsky, who agreed to review a preview of the report and send a statement.

    The CBS News statement reads in full:

    CBS News did not stage anything at the Cherry Health facility. Any suggestion to the contrary is 100% false. These allegations are alarming. We reached out to Cherry Health to address them immediately. They informed us for the first time that one of their chief officers told at least one staffer to get in the testing line along with real patients. No one from CBS News had any knowledge of this before tonight. They also said that their actions did not prevent any actual patients from being tested. We take the accuracy of our reporting very seriously and we are removing the Cherry Health portion from the piece.

    “CBS This Morning” Executive Producer Diana Miller gave an interview to her parent company’s website Viacom.com, where she said the morning TV news show was making its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic a priority.

    “Whenever you’re chasing a story that’s developing, there are threads that emerge. Focusing on first responders has been important for us because they are on the frontlines, and it’s important we’re showing the reality of the situations they are in every day,” she said.

    “We’ve always been driven by the news and want to provide context and clarity on the important stories of the day,” Miller said.

  6. Is COVID-19 Bringing The Bible’s 10 Great Plagues?

    [​IMG]

    It’s getting downright biblical out there.

    With a deadly virus spanning the entire globe, maybe it’s time to take a look at the 10 plagues of Egypt, from the biblical book of Exodus to see how we’re doing.

    Plague 1. Water to blood: Check.


    Lake Meke in Turkey’s central Konya province has dried up and the few remaining puddles in the lakebed have turned red due to the microorganisms present. In Naro-Fominsk, Russia, the Gvozdnya River also turned red after an unknown spillage. “One online comment said pollution had caused a ‘blood river’ at the location, some 50 miles southwest of Moscow,” Britain’s Daily Star wrote.

    Want more? A lake in the Mexican village of Chichimequillas suddenly turned bright pink. Officials say it might be a combination of sodium, unusual bacteria and gunpowder chemicals, but obviously, it’s plague 1 of the Bible. Closer to home, Lake Salubria (which means “good health”) in Bath, New York, also recently turned red.

    Plague 2. Frogs: Check.


    In the English town of Chesterfield, frogs are frightening people by emerging through sinks and drains — and sometimes just lurking on the sides of toilet bowls.

    In Florida, toxic toads are invading homeowners’ yards. Cane toads ooze a milky, toxic substance called bufotoxin, deadly to cats and dogs if they bite or lick the giant toads. The toxin is also dangerous for humans, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

    “When we all open our front door, it’s not 100 — you’re talking thousands of these little baby frogs,” Palm Beach Gardens resident Carollyn Rice told TV station WPTV- 5.

    Plague 3. Lice / gnats. Check.


    A few months ago, a lice infestation hit Washington State University in Pullman, east of Seattle. Lice also popped up in a public school system in Quincy, Massachusetts.

    As for gnats, yeah, they’re here, too. “Outbreak of biting gnats, black flies in Baton Rouge,” said a recent headline from WBRZ-TV.

    “Unfortunately, they can’t be controlled with the spraying of insecticides designed to control mosquitoes,” according to a statement from the East Baton Rouge Parish Mosquito Abatement and Rodent Control Center.

    Plague 4. Wild beasts. Check.


    Rabbis have interpreted the word for the Fourth Plague — arov — to mean either wild animals, hornets or mosquitoes.

    Let’s jump right to hornets. Giant hornets were spotted for the first time in America in December — another gift from Asia, like the coronavirus. The hornets kill upwards of 50 people in China and Japan each year, and they also attack honeybees, which pollinate the fruits and vegetables we eat.

    Scientists fear the hornets, like the stink bugs that emerged in the U.S. several years ago, will soon sweep the nation (again, like the coronavirus).

    The Bible also says hordes of wild animals were roving all over the country. And with humans hunkered down, they are.

    “Animals have started taking advantage of cities as they enter lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. From New Delhi, India, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, groups of animals including deer and lemurs have started to come out to explore — in search of food or just to play,” The Guardian wrote.

    “Pigs Are Taking Over the Streets of Paris,” said another headline.

    Plague 5. Pestilence. Check.


    “The hand of the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field,” says plague 5.

    “COVID-19 may force farmers to kill, throw away livestock,” the Detroit Free Press wrote this month. “Lost demand with the closure or significant slowdown of restaurants, and COVID-19 outbreaks at meat packing plants nationwide, where employees work closely together, have slowed meat processing to a trickle,” the article said.

    “Millions of farm animals culled as U.S. food supply chain chokes up,” writes The Guardian.

    “Covid-related slaughterhouse shutdowns in the U.S. are leading to fears of meat shortages and price rises, while farmers are being forced to consider ‘depopulating’ their animals,” the piece said.

    Plague 6. Boils. Not yet.


    “Festering boils will break out on men and animals throughout the land,” says plague 6. That hasn’t happened yet.

    So perhaps, something to look forward to.

    Plague 7. Hail. Check.


    “At this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt,” says plague 7.

    “Large Hailstorm Hits Northeast of Wichita, KS,” said one report. “Storm dumps hail deep enough to plow in Augusta County” in Virginia, said another.

    “Marionville, Mo. orchard damaged by Sunday’s hailstorm,” said a third. That’s a twofer — hail and pestilence. “Tennis ball size hail hits areas of Northwest Arkansas early Monday,” said a fourth.

    So, we got hail.

    Plague 8. Locusts. Check.


    “Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow,” says plague 8.

    “They’re back: Trillions of locusts descend on East Africa in second wave,” The Washington Postreported on Tuesday.

    “Two new generations of locusts are set to descend on East Africa again — 400 times stronger,” QZ.com reported.

    So, big check mark for locusts.

    Plague 9. Darkness for three days. Sort of.


    “Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days,” plague 9 says. That hasn’t happened, but then Exodus says: “No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days.”

    Well, we’ve all been hunkered down for weeks or months, so this one is kinda’ happening.

    And there have been power outages amid the lock down. “Residents deal with power outage on top of COVID-19 isolation,” ABC-7 in California wrote last month.

    “COVID-19 Threatens Outages Scheduled at 97% of U.S. Nuclear Sites in 2020,” PowerMag wrote last month. “We know that nuclear power plant operation and continued electricity is critical to powering our hospitals and keeping the lights on in our homes and emergency centers.”

    Plague 10. Death of first-born. NO!


    Finally, some good news. This one hasn’t happened so far, but the Mayo Clinic says, “Although rare, children under age 1 (infants) are at higher risk of severe illness with COVID-19. This is likely due to their immature immune systems and smaller airways, which make them more likely to develop breathing issues with respiratory virus infections.”

    But aren’t the elderly really our “first born,” our parents and grandparents? The fatality rate for them is far higher than for any age group.

    Of course, we don’t really think COVID-19 is bringing the 10 Plagues, but maybe — just maybe — it’s time for all of us to brush up on the Bible.

    We’ve got the time — as long as there is light.

    this article in portuguese talks about the possibility that this is just a trial for a next major pandemic, in the case of avian flu, I believe that if the most aggressive flu virus has not yet developed a mutation that causes transmission from people to people it is because divine providence prevented it.

  13. More Gates' interference....this time for "re-educating" the youth via controlled forum.....w/o anything of real educational benefit?

    Cuomo to Join with Common Core’s Bill Gates Foundation to ‘Reimagine’ Education

    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Tuesday his state will partner with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to “reimagine” its school system as New Yorkers navigate toward a post-coronavirus “new normal.”

    Cuomo said New York will work with the Gates Foundation – the primary private financier and promoter of the Obama-era Common Core State Standards – because “the old model of our education system where everyone sits in a classroom is not going to work in the new normal.”

    The governor said, when schools reopen, he wants to “reimagine” them.

    “[T]o do that, we are collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and exploring smart, innovative education alternatives” that utilize new technology, Cuomo added.

    Without any taxpayer oversight, Gates and his foundation spearheaded the most recent progressive initiative known as the Common Core State Standards, by spending upwards of $250 million in grants to test consortia, nonprofits, teachers’ unions, and political groups eager to cash in on the new scheme.

    Democrat and Republican lawmakers and governors of 46 states signed onto what was touted as “rigorous” K-12 uniform math and English language arts academic standards that would drive the performance of U.S. students upward and eliminate the achievement gap between white and Asian students and their classmates who were largely black and Hispanic.

    In October 2015, Gates renewed his foundation’s commitment to Common Core, asserting, “we are on the right track.”

    “There’s one other pivotal step in the movement for strong feedback and improvement systems, and that is the adoption of high, consistent academic standards throughout the country,” the Microsoft founder said at a U.S. Education forum in Seattle. “Today 42 states and the District of Columbia are using the Common Core State Standards.”

    However, ten years after states adopted Common Core, a study released last week by the Boston-based Pioneer Institute revealed the historic drop in national reading and math scores on the Nation’s Report Card.

    “Nearly a decade after states adopted Common Core, the empirical evidence makes it clear that these national standards have yielded underwhelming results for students,” said Pioneer executive director Jim Stergios in a statement. “The proponents of this expensive, legally questionable policy initiative have much to answer for.”

    The study, titled “The Common Core Debacle” and authored by education policy researcher Theodor Rebarber, noted the “shocking trends” in American student performance in reading and math and, particularly, the further decline in performance of the nation’s lowest achieving students – many from black and Hispanic communities with failing schools.

    Rebarber observed many education policy researchers have known since Common Core was introduced, that its “deeply flawed educational assumptions,” were “at odds with curriculum standards in top-achieving countries.”

    Other national education leaders have lamented the expansion of the achievement gap, rather than its shrinking, as promoters of Common Core, such as Bill Gates, promised.

    “Over the past decade, there has been no progress in either mathematics or reading performance,” Dr. Peggy Carr, associate commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, said in October 2019.

    “The lowest performing students – those readers who struggle the most – have made no progress in reading from the first NAEP administration almost 30 years ago,” she added.

    Facebook has been very active this a.m. with anti covid reports. Fake news and more fake news. The numbers have been manipulated . . .deaths manipulated etc. Lots of real Dr's are coming out now and protesting the lockdown. Tokyo which has more people than NYC did not shut down, has very few deaths in comparison. Why?

    Incredibly disturbing. I've had my suspicions about Dr.Fauci, I just don't trust this man. After seeing this video it's no wonder Dr. Fauci is so adamant about denying the possibility that this virus was tampered with at the Wuhan lab. I wonder what President Trump really thinks about Tony Fauci.
