The coronavirus is still wrecking havoc on the planet. Restaurants in the area are doing drive thru and carry out only. The credit union is conducting business only via online and drive up banking. The local Marcus Theatre is on intermission for the time being. At work, the salad and hot bars are shut down and there will be no hot soup until further notice. The deli and store itself are closing two hours earlier than normal during the quarantine.
Now, lest we forget, we have the Chinese Communist Party to thank for all this shit. I covered this to a degree in my last blog post. What I want to post here are a series of YouTube videos detailing the origins of Covid-19 and the incompetent response by the CCP and WHO as well as the CCP's attempts to spin doctor things to make themselves look good.
The first video details the origins of the virus.
What did the Chinese Communist Party do when Covid-19 first appeared? They covered it up of course. Here's the video.
Then the CCP started looking for someone to blame in addition to silencing anyone spreading news outside of China regarding the spread of the virus.
The CCP's response to Covid-19 has basically been Mao style heavy handed authoritarianism. Here's the next video.
Also responsible for the spread of Covid-19 is the World Health Organization because many members of the WHO are little more than corrupt lackeys of the CCP as detailed in the following video.
As Covid-19 continues to spread, the CCP becomes even more heavy handed with its authoritarianism. Check out the video.
To make matters even worse, Chinese pig farms are feeding Colistin, the most powerful antibiotic we possess, to their pigs so they can better survive the poorly regulated factory farms they have in China. Antibiotics have been overused for some time now by many countries which has led to them becoming less effective as antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria and viruses come into being. Check out the information in this video.
If you want to get an idea as to how the outbreak should have been handled, take a look at this video regarding Taiwan's response to Covid-19. They handled the matter in a manner FAR superior to the botched, authoritarian way the Chinese Communist Party handled things.
Of course, the CCP wants the world to believe that they're doing a wonderful job handling the outbreak. They've manipulated the WHO and a variety of news outlets into spreading news about their glorious handling of things and how the CCP has saved the world from Covid-19. The next video further highlights the CCP's authoritarian crackdown on the Chinese people while the two after that demonstrate how the CCP spin doctors the news to make themselves look good while silencing critics by saying that they're being racist.
So there you have it. The Chinese Communist Party completely fucked up their response to the Covid-19 outbreak by covering it up, arresting and silencing anyone in China that tried to get news of the outbreak disseminated. The CCP then resorted to Mao style crackdowns on the population in order to control the virus. They've spin doctored events by turning the WHO into a bunch of corrupt lackeys and deceiving media outlets into propagating their propaganda. Anyone criticizing the CCP is labeled racist and they're trying their damnedest to either blame America for Covid-19 or claim that its origin is unknown. The truth is Covid-19 originated in a wet market in Wuhan, China. The world needs to stop buying the CCP's bullshit and call them out on their incompetence in handling the matter.
Here are the rants, opinions, musings and myriad insane ramblings of one slightly crazed SubGenius preacher man. Light up a bowl of Frop and stay awhile.

Trump: Malignant Barely Literate Tyrant
We all know that Trump is a xenophobic, misogynistic, sociopathic, narcissistic bully with a paper thin ego but it might also be true that he's practically illiterate as well. Take a look at this video and decide for yourself.
As to his mental state, here's another YouTube video detailing what a psychiatrist thinks of Donald J. Trump.

We Are Information
Information has become the new currency of the 21st century. It seems like everyone is champing at the proverbial bit to gather intel on people. I just read an article about a company that uses sensors to track the movements of GPS enabled smartphones in order to gather information about the habits of the smartphones' owners. The collectors of said data process it and sell it to their clients so they can better sell their products and services. As this technology becomes more ubiquitous, the amount of data gathered about our movements and habits will grow exponentially. The question is how much privacy will we lose as a result of this technology? Big Brother already exists to some degree in our society. However, unlike in Orwell's fictional Oceania, this Big Brother hides in plain sight. Instead of Thought Police, we have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the like. And we voluntarily supply information about ourselves to these sights. Couple that with the information surreptitiously gathered via our smartphones, computers and tablets and the amount of information about us that exists on the Web is probably staggering. Data mining has become very lucrative for some companies and unlike precious metals, it won't run dry. This is a double edged sword we're wielding. In the wrong hands, we could end up prisoners in an information driven techno-dictatorship where our movements and information are constantly tracked and collated in order to keep us in line.

The Information Age and Dictatorships
It used to be that all a dictator had to do to prevent information about atrocities committed in their country from getting out was to control the local media outlets and keep outsiders out. That way only the government's views and opinions were disseminated to the populace. Any information they didn't like was brutally and effectively silenced. Now, with the widespread use of social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc., it's becoming extremely difficult for them to contain said information. Anybody with a cell phone, computer or tablet can be a reporter and let the world know what's going on in their country. Repressive regimes hate social media because it exists outside their country where they can't control it. They can't send secret police squads to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc. and co-opt them or shut them down. In Orwell's book 1984, all information was controlled by the Ministry of Truth. It controlled every form of information and could even alter the historical record to serve its ends. Become an unperson and all record of you and your life gets erased. You not only cease to exist, you never existed in the first place. That's pretty much impossible to do in the real world now. There is no way someone could erase all trace of your existence and make you an unperson. There's also no way anyone can completely contain the flow of information anymore. They can install all the Internet filters they want in order to block searches they don't like. People will just find a way around them. Information wants to be free.
