  1. I understand that testing municipal wastewater for covid is a possibility or already in action. Rationalizing future lockdowns in specific areas is already well discussed. It is interesting that an entity associated with Blackrock has purchased a local waste collection company that provides service to rural properties where I reside. Maybe this is a way to justify locking down rural areas since these properties are on well water, not municipal water.

      1. Received a letter from the insurance company regarding updated coverage. One point relevant to testing of wastewater:
        ” Loss or damage to your property resulting from virus, bacteria, micro-organisms and communicable disease will now be excluded ”
        Have you heard of anything similar in NZ? Would make sense to remove insurance payouts if wastewater testing is being used to lockdown properties.

        1. Haven’t heard about something similar yet, but won’t be surprised if or when I do!

      1. Where do you find these links Rich??? I am not in USA, but this info is still incredibly interesting.

          1. the search engines are not a disaster. they are working *exactly* as desired; to severely limit access of the common people to real information while pretending otherwise.

          2. Thanks to web translation (e.g. built into iOS Safari), one can compare results from search engines in different countries, which are at least differently biased in their censorship.

    3. Lol! Only if you/we are foolish enough to relinquish control of ‘ourselves’ to UN. I say ‘ourselves’ because we know that the US Government already relinquished control.
      DO NOT COMPLY. DO NOT ACQUIESCE! NO FEAR!

    4. Question, i have never heard of testing for a virus in per or feces. If thats possible, why dont they do that at the doctors office as a diagnostic tool?

    1. The best way to stop the body politic to see the clear and simple truth of the intentionality of the great poisoning is to prevent the confirmation by leaders of the lethality of the different parts.

      1. If we have reverted to pre-Westphalian violence, could an insurance underwriter create an assassination insurance policy for state politicians whose state governance activity puts them at risk of injury or worse? Add to state budget. Pool defensive and forensic expertise across states with shared governance risk.
        High policy value to maximize Streisand effect and create financial incentives to implement continuous defensive security (e.g. plane, train and auto inspection, screening of maintenance workers and facilities) and post-mortem, state investigation of all fatal accidents, beyond what is done by NTSB.
        Failing that, how about a national monument to those fallen politicians who lead by example and paid the ultimate price?
        Even air safety experts are not safe.

        Richard McSpadden, 63, and Russ Francis, 70, died after the Cessna Cardinal they were flying crashed near the runway of the Lake Placid Airport, “striking an earth embankment,” according to New York State Police. 

        McSpadden was the head of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s Air Safety Institute, which focuses on curbing crashes of general aviation airplanes.

        2. Rich, “Kidnap& Ransom” Insurance policies exist in the private insurance market place. To create a scheme as you mention would more than likely require the complete capture of an insurance company…infused with “insider” injected capital….a slightly different version of what, you might say, was accomplished using AIG during the financial crisis.

    For any and all in the state of Florida……I have known for some time about the “Baker Act” which is an extremely scary law on Florida’s books allowing citizens to be hospitalized against their will by any number of agency representatives, but I didn’t know about this one regarding forced quarantine until recently. It appears to be the Prep Act on heavy duty steroids and was signed into law in 2021.

  5. Forgive the random post, but this is so good I have to post it – a quote from the DT’s reader comments:

    “Each time you spend money, you vote for the kind of world you want to live in – it’s actually the most powerful vote you have.”

    1. Reminds me of how Catherine says- paraphrase- we don’t vote every 4 years, we vote every day with our dollars, our time and our attention.

  6. Catherine,

    I thing the Netherlands will become a very important technological economic power with all the tech happening there. With their increase exports, and considering they have a very powerful port, how is this impacting and will impact the USA economy/investments? I was told the Netherlands will dominate the digitalization around the world; they started in the 90s.

    1. Catherine, it seems that Netherlands is deeper involved with the future digital world domination -chip manufacturing- that most do not understand. China cannot keep it up with their own economy in stress. NE have a well organize partnership with the UK & US gov. But, who is benefiting Catherine? Do you know about this and who is investing in this? Waiting for your reply…

  7. https://www.businessinsider.com/pubs-replaced-banks-in-ireland-in-1970-and-the-economy-was-fine-2016-1

    the entire banking system of Ireland went on strike after an industrial dispute in 1970. The strike lasted nearly six months, yet the economy escaped unscathed.

    People used cheques to manage large payments and, while the banks were closed, risk of default on the cheques was shouldered by neighbourhood pubs. 

    How did payees manage this risk for such a prolonged period? Notoriously, local publicans were well-placed to judge the creditworthiness of payers.

    For example, John Dempsey, a publican in Balbriggan, near Dublin, was “…holding cheques for thousands of pounds, but I’m not worried. The last bank strike went on for 12 weeks and I didn’t have a single ‘bouncer’. … I deal only with my regulars … I refuse strangers. I suppose I’ve been able to keep a few local factories going.”

    1. Amazing how the economy works when trust is present and well managed. 🙂
