Turnaround

“Lockdown”

Tourism in Hawai’i is increasing. Daily visitor counts are ramping up even though there is a “lockdown” in effect. Meanwhile local residents are sequestered in their mausoleums and cowering in fear of “super-duper corona.”

All visitors must provide a valid hotel reservation. Or, an address of family or friends with whom they are staying. In addition, all arrivals at the airport must self-quarantine for 14-days. That’s not what’s happening.

Tourists are seen freely walking around Waikiki. They are easily spotted because they stand out like ... well, tourists. Many of the tourists are staying at vacation rentals, which is currently not permitted. How do they circumvent the requirement? Most likely, the owner(s) of the vacation rental has(have) agreed to pose as family or close friend(s).

Visitors staying at vacation rental absolutely do not abide by the 14-day “self-quarantine. They head for Waikiki Beach immediately after dropping off their luggage. There have been a handful of citations and arrests by police, but that’s a “drop in the bucket.”

The local “mainstream” media, which is suspected to be a propaganda bullhorn for the Fascists, have gradually changed the narrative to begin promoting the restoration of tourism. There has been increasing coverage about the low “super-duper corona” infection rate and high recovery rate here. This, after nearly three months of intense fearmongering. Have the Fascists reversed course?

The “experts” are also confident that a vaccine for “super-duper corona” will be available in a couple of month, just in time for ... tourism! If that vaccine is not a placebo, then it will have only passed the risky “challenge test” trials.

In fact, more and more “experts” from the mainland empire are being featured in local news to promote the return of tourism as early as Summer. Of course, “social distancing” and face masks will be the “new normal.” That’s all a crock of shit.

The re-opening of the tourist sector means opening the floodgates. Passenger arrivals will increase to the “old normal” of 30,000 people per day. The airlines will quickly drop “social distancing” seating by claiming that the on-board HEPA filters are totally effective. Face masks will be required at first, but that will go to the wayside. Who’s going to enforce that anyway?

Aloha! Welcome to Hawai’i!

Once the reality sets in that no one want to visit Hawai’i when every place looks like a hospital emergency room and everyone resembles hospital nursing staff, then the whole charade of the pandemic hoax will be exposed. And, how about all of the blue tape on the floor marking 6-foot increments. Or, the tables cordoned off with yellow “Danger” tape? Or, the sickening odor of commercial disinfectant everywhere? Or, the sheets of plastic used as shields at customer service areas? Aloha!

Will the tourists at least play along with the pandemic farce for a little while? Maybe. Although, if thousands of tourists decide not to abide by “social distancing” or wear the ridiculous face masks, who exactly is going to stop them?

Incidentally, the visitors that are here now during “lockdown” are a different breed. They were tempted by low airfares and bargain vacation rentals. They don’t care about shopping at all the luxury retail stores or dining at overpriced restaurants that make tiny portions of food look like art. The are relaxing in Waikiki that is devoid of crowds, like a cheap version of Club Med.

The local residents who have been marching in lockstep with the Fascists, wearing their face masks, observing “social distancing” religiously, and some even serving as loyal kapo-rona, should have been questioning the double-standard between the tourists and themselves. Nearly three months have elapsed and there has been a farcical effort to make tourists comply with visitor “lockdown” directives. Only now, with the “re-opening the economy” meme at the forefront, there is a slow convoluted effort toward enforcement solutions. Yeah.

Notes on “Second Wave”: There is no dissension concerning the next “wave” of “super-duper corona.” Since most of the population has been sequestered in artificial isolation, they will be at the frontline of the next epidemic. At this point in time, there is reason to believe that “super-duper corona” will have mutated to be a more formidable pathogen.

A major factor will be the overuse of disinfectant products by the masses, as well as the spraying of commercial disinfectant by agents of all public and private venues on anything touchable by humans. Human antigens eradicate the virus naturally and causes it to mutate to become less lethal in order to survive and reproduce. Viruses and bacteria can be eradicated by chemical disinfectants, too, but both will mutate to be highly resistant to those disinfectants. Subsequently, the mutated virus may become so resilient that it cannot be easily eradicated by the human immune system.

Project Fear Redux

There are very few of the rank-and-file peons remaining who have not capitulated to the fear of death narrative that is being overplayed. Thus, nearly everyone is now wearing face masks full-time. There are also lot more blue rubber gloves spotted amongst them as well. And, a handful of people have already invested in huge plastic face shields, also worn full-time.

Not a day goes by without an inundation of e-mail, text messages, social media bullshit, and “mainstream” media propaganda about “super-duper corona.” Even while riding the bus, various recorded messages are blaring away, including the all-time favorite, “A reminder that the bus should only be ridden for essential purposes. Stay home, stay healthy.”

Project Fear has gone “whole hog” while various states in empire are, in direct contradiction, concurrently attempting to “reopen.” What gives? Fascist politicians are certainly not going to cross their “Big Money” handlers. These Fascists are awaiting lucrative positions in the private sector once their political tenure has expired. As “they” say, “Never bite the hand that feeds you.”

The latest from the on-going Project Fear narrative includes:

1. Children are not safe from “super-duper corona.” They are now at high risk of suffering adverse heart problems similar to Kawasaki’s Disease. Stay home with your children, stay healthy.
2. Young, seemingly healthy, adults are at risk of suffering severe illness or death from “super-duper corona.” Stay home, stay healthy.
3. “Super-duper corona” has now mutated into different strains. Stay home, stay healthy.

There is never any data to substantiate the claims of the latest Project Fear narratives. Only a handful of cases are highlighted. Humans are not clones of each other. So, individual immune systems are different. Thus, each individual immune system will react differently to intrusive pathogens.

Viruses always mutate, which is why there is never one universal vaccine. In most cases, virus mutations make it milder. After all, the virus is attempting to survive and replicate. So, its single RNA will evolve to do so.

And, even when actual people are highlighted, they are always the ones who have experienced extreme “super-duper corona” symptoms, often requiring hospitalization. There’s never been any focus on the people with mild symptoms. Fearmongering can only continue unabated when the fear of death is “amped up” constantly.

Returning to the glaring contradiction of the Fascists, there can be no doubt that there is a hidden agenda at play (as discussed previously in Notes). The Fascists politicians and their handlers are ... well, Fascists. They are “all in this together.” So, the contradictions are part of the plan to obfuscate the truth, then separate and reduce the masses to subservient automatons.

The “lockdown” has been used to force people into isolation. Aside from the developing various psychopathologies (as detailed in Notes previously), the hermits will be forced to use social media conduits to communicate with friends, family and other associates. Of course, if the hermits attempt to question or sow discontent about Project Fear, then their accounts are terminated (read: censored). As isolation continues, the fear of others (read: strangers) amplifies to a level of grotesquerie previously unimaginable. The ability to properly function in society degenerates to that of a troglodyte.

“Social distancing” and the infamous muzzle ... errr, face mask ... are used to literally keep people apart. Direct conversation has been literally mummified. The ability to gather in groups has been outlawed. Organized groups (i.e., churches) have been muzzled as well. Any group can quickly become a threat to the Fascists and must be shut down. In other words, society will be dismantled to create a more uniform and controlled order.

The “new normal” as “lockdown” eases is just more of the same ol’ shit. “Social distancing” and the face mask muzzle will essentially convert everyone to faceless, speechless, spineless consumers. Go out, buy useless shit, go home. Stay home, stay healthy.

Waves

The “super-duper corona” fearmongering has people people ... oh ... cowering in fear. The so-called “pandemic” will be coming back again and again like a bad sitcom. “Waves” is the current description.

There really is no surprise. People are still coming and going, globally, even with the Draconian “lockdown” and quarantine measures. So, the pathogen can easily follow the migratory path of its host. The fact that most of population has remained in (chemically disinfected) self-quarantine insures that “waves” of “super-duper corona” continue ad infinitum until the majority of the population is eventually infected. That’s how viruses work.

Since viruses are not technically living organisms, they cannot be killed. A vaccine is the only deterrent but no vaccine is fully effective. Senior citizens are vaccinated for influenza but they still succumb from complications caused by the pathogen. The same will occur with “super-duper corona.”

Soon, the “mainstream” narrative will evolve to state that the only way to “protect” the masses is a permanent “lockdown” with extreme “stay at home” directives. Yet, the efficacy of “lockdown” remains in question. To date, the majority (66%) of “super-duper corona” deaths in empire have occurred in “lockdown” isolation. Even with forced isolation, over 33% of deaths in empire occurred in nursing homes for convalescent senior citizens. Again, the hoax is uncloaked.

Notes on Real Data: To dissect the “mainstream” hysteria, a look at the Hawai’i “super-duper corona” statistics will suffice. The total confirmed cases stands at 607 since the first detected case on March 6th. The number of deaths related to “super-duper corona” is 19 total (all senior citizens with co-morbidities). Rarely reported is the number of recovered patients (about 550). Here are some interesting, but unreported, data:

• Infection rate: 0.004% (since March 6th for all islands)
• Real-time (one-day) infection rate: 0.0023% (for all islands)

The real-time infection rate only includes the total number of currently active confirmed cases (approximately 35). That translates roughly to about 2 out of 100,000 people. Recovery rate is about 95% so most or all will recover. Continuing numbers of new active cases are travel-related. Do the “authorities” and local media number know this data? Of course! Yet, over 1.5 million people remain incarcerated in Hawai’i because of 35 infected people.

Gym 2020

The most important activity for a mendicant monk has always been the daily workout at the gym. However, even that has been robbed by the “super-duper corona” imprisonment. All gyms have been closed for nearly three months.

A search for any kind of portable workout equipment, such as dumbbells or exercise bands, have proved fruitless. There’s probably nothing in stock anywhere in empire (just like hair clippers). The dislocations and anomalies created by “super-duper corona” and the resultant panic purchases can only be described as sheer stupidity.

There is little expectation for gyms to reopen soon. If and when that occurs, the “new normal” will completely degrade the workout experience. No doubt, face masks will be required. The “social distancing” bullshit could be the death knell for gyms. The number of people allowed in a gym at any one time would be limited. Exercise classes would be reduced to handful of people and likely would simply be mummified. Showers would be prohibited. In fact, access to locker rooms may not be allowed. Cardio workouts would require face masks. Nothing is really workable.

Gyms are a high volume business. Membership turnover is also really high. Thus, there is almost no possible way for any gym to remain in business under “super-duper corona” constraints. Gyms are also a high overhead business. Leases for the huge areas are extremely costly. Equipment, maintenance, and utilities costs are also high. Either the membership fees will have to increase significantly or the gyms will shut down. Golds® Gym has already filed for bankruptcy. Will the other gyms follow suit?

The lack of any real exercise has taken a personal toll in the form of increasing muscle atrophy. Cardiovascular exercise has been nonexistent. Personal diet has been modified to reduce caloric input, but that has resulted in further weight loss. At three months of near-sedentary conditions, the effects are close to irreversible when considering age.

Addendum: Apparently, there have been several articles in the “mainstream” media about gyms coming back on line. In addition to what was described above, gyms will be implementing contactless check-in. Admission will be limited to about 50% (or less) of capacity. Some gyms will require an appointment made the day prior (using a mobile “app”) for a one-hour workout slot with a 30-minute shutdown in between slots for disinfection. The layout of gym will change for “social distancing” either by spacing machine further apart or cordoning off certain machine each day. Workable? Very doubtful.

Scarecrow

The number of confirmed “super-duper” corona” cases has been increasing, but not because of “super-duper” powers of the path. Rather, the problem stems from the incompetence in dealing with tourist and returning resident arrivals at the airports. With the tourists, there appears to be no validation of an actual hotel reservation as required by the governor’s mandate. Many of the visitors are staying in vacation rentals.

Very few of the visitors and residents are following the mandatory 14-day self-quarantine. Enforcement is minimal as observed by the sheer number of tourists walking around Waikiki. What can be expected with the governor’s “honor system”? This is the nature of the hoax.

Fear of death is now effectively embedded in the psyche of the rank-and-file peons. “Social distancing” is becoming more hostile by the day as neurosis overrides normal brain functions of the gullible majority of the masses. The peons are become apparatchiks of the Fascist police state. These self-appointed agents are now a danger to themselves and everyone else.

What was remaining of the “Aloha Spirit” is now dead, another victim of “super-duper corona.” The “social distancing” and face mask requirements have converted all areas, public and private, into what resembles large concentration camps. There is no shortage of eager minimum wage agents shepherding the prisoners around, typical of the kapo-corona.

There is no doubt that the second wave of “super-duper corona” will arrive as early as Summer. Why?

• First, there is no way to stop visitors from coming to Hawai’i and the governor’s mandates are about as effective as putting up a scarecrow at the airport.
• Second, sequestering people in sedentary “lockdown” with all of their face masks, hand sanitizers, and disinfectant wipes has created a weakened population with absolutely no immunity.

The cycle will continue ad infinitum with more deaths allegedly caused by “super-duper corona” and by suicide. In the end, it was the fear of death that killed them all. Ironic.

Update: The Fascists have concocted a few idiotic ideas to monitor tourists’ compliance to the 14-day self-quarantine, all too ludicrous to waste any time listing them in Notes.

Homey

In a surprise move, the governor of Hawai’i announced the next phase of easing “lockdown” restrictions. A few days earlier, the governor hinted at allowing “low contact” businesses to reopen. Now, he’s going “whole hog.”

The following sectors are allowed to reopen on Thursday:

• shopping malls and retailers
• non-food agricultural companies
• astronomical observatories
• pet grooming services
• health care and social assistance, including elective surgery
• nonprofits previously not considered “essential”
• wholesalers.

What the fuck? Did he say, “shopping malls and retailers”? Yeah, he did, although food court dining areas and restaurant dining will remain closed. Face masks and “social distancing” will continue. But, the “lockdown” is still in effect until May 31st. Say what? The governor also stated that such a bold move was possible because “we were successful at flattening the curve.” What curve? The maximum number of new daily confirmed cases averaged 25 during the peak.

Even the management of the various shopping mall were caught off-guard. None of them are ready to reopen so soon. That begs the question ... what exactly happened? Just a few days ago, the governor said that the “new normal” would be a very slow process, maybe taking many months. What about “super-duper corona”? Isn’t it coming back in waves?

Homey da Clown

Obviously, the governor’s handlers (read: “Big Money”) have put on the pressure to speed up the process. The mental midgets may be duped by the “clown show” (with the governor starring as “Homey”), but the whole hoax has been laid bare for all to see. Just follow the money.

Update: There apparently was a communications mishap, so the revised date for the businesses listed is May 15th. Mishap? The governor’s handlers are obviously in a panicked state of confusion.

Project Fear

There appears be a chasm between sections of the ruling class (i.e., moneychangers and powers-that-be) concerning “lockdown” over “super-duper corona” mass incarceration. One side favors easing restrictions. The other side, which is supported by “mainstream” media and the Project Fear campaign, favors an indefinite “lockdown.”

Unsurprisingly, the masses have been sequestered in fear long enough to spawn the numerous psychopathologies as previously described in Notes. The rank-and-file peons are afraid to leave their residences (read: agoraphobia), and they have become afraid of other people (read: anthropophobia). And, most of all, the wage slaves are “scared shitless” of returning supposed universally infected workplaces. The longer “lockdown” in effect, the symptoms and co-pathologies increase.

In a recent op-ed piece, Norman Lewis observed:

From the outset, most governments have adopted the Project Fear approach to dealing with the threat posed by COVID-19. We were all at risk, we were told. The virus didn’t respect borders, age, class, ethnicity or race, they said, as if the virus had a conscious plan to smite all of humanity indiscriminately. Lockdowns were necessary to flatten the curve and protect the health service. 

But we now know that a lot of this was just fearmongering and exaggeration. It is clear that there are important differences in the level of threat COVID-19 represents; that it is possible to develop a strategy that can protect the vulnerable and the health service while not shutting down the economy upon which we all depend for everything in life. Flattening the curve did not require riding roughshod over basic freedoms and the critical reproduction of economic life. It required a balanced, sober strategy, with targeted support and resources for where they were really needed. 

How can anyone now be shocked when the fear-driven, excessively policed public now feels a deep trepidation and a sense of increased vulnerability, nervous that returning to work would be like putting your head above a First World War trench at the Somme? A desire to cocoon yourself in the security of locked doors with access to technology that can allow communications with work, family and friends – but steer clear of pestilence – was not irrational. It was inevitable.

In conclusion, Lewis opined:

This is tragically short-sighted, because what everyone seems to be missing is that there is no ‘public’ anymore – just a collection of fearful, atomised individuals, isolated from society and living in trepidation of the future. This fractured caricature of society represents a barrier to the kind of social solidarity, organisation, and vision that will be needed to get over the impact of this crisis and the future repercussions of disastrous decisions like shutting down the economy.

This begs the question as to why so-called “powerful interests” are seeking to extend the “lockdown.” Is Wall Street on this side, or is it the “Deep State”?

Muzzle

Muzzled!

On Friday, about 100 people descended on the State Capital to protest the “lockdown” that was extended to the end of the month. Several people were arrested.

The governor has indicated that the transition to the “new normal” will be very gradual. Face masks and “social distancing” will continue indefinitely, he stated, or until a vaccine for “super-duper corona” is available. The placebo vaccine, you think?

The first phase of the transition, commencing on Friday, allows automobile dealerships, mobile businesses, one-on-one businesses, automated carwashes, florists, and golf courses to reopen. Only a few people are likely to benefit.

At the “old folks home” in Waikiki, “emergency” Fascist policies have been invoked. The community room has been closed, and face masks are required in the entire complex. Of course, “social distancing” is a must. The community rooms were also sealed off. Out of courtesy to the senior citizens, the rules are being followed. Most of them are “scared shitless” anyway.

Over 500 inmates at the local prison were released because of “super-duper corona,” even though there were no infections at the facility. The public was told that these were “minimum risk” prisoners, but one was arrested again for involvement in an armed carjacking. The mass inmate release was probably another Fascist hidden agenda that required an excuse to implement.

Notes on “New Economy”: The Fascists constantly refer to the “new normal,” but what about the “new economy”? In previous Notes, there were prognostications about “social distancing” and the protective gear that would be required for society and commerce to function.

Unfortunately, given those restrictions, there cannot be a return pre-“super-duper corona” days. Deflation will not occur because central bank policies are most likely causing an upward inflationary trend. Thus, fixed costs (i.e., rent, utilities, etc.) of businesses will be rising.

The imposition of “social distancing” protocols will decrease capacity (usually seating) and volume by at least 50% and 70% respectively. Staffing would be reduced accordingly, which would marginally reduce wage and health insurance expenses. Additional costs would now include protective gear for employees. Prices for products and services would nonetheless have to rise in order to retain profit margins. The order of magnitude for price increases upwards 50% at minimum with 200% in some cases not unrealistic.

Safety First!

The extremely long “lockdown” duration has also increased the fear and apprehension of the masses. So, a significant time lag will occur before customers or clients return. Worst of all, the decor and ambience of all business establishments will be marred by “social distancing” requirements and by the protective gear worn by the employees. Customers owns clients will also be donning protective gear, which further diminishes the enjoyment of the experience. High prices in a ubiquitous hospital-like setting is a death knell. Expect customers and clients to turn exclusively to on-line transactions and services. Products, including food, will most to the delivery model. The “lockdown” has already conditioned the masses to “stay at home,” and that’s what they will do.

Then, there is the issue of whether the “new normal” and “new economy” measures will fly (no pun intended) with tourists? Believing that visitors would flock to Hawai’i and enjoy being greeted everywhere by people who look like hospital ER staff strains credulity. Then, having to wear face masks all the time when they are here ... is that the promise of “paradise”?

Questions

There has been “mainstream” news coverage about the overload of morgues and mortuaries resulting from the sheer number of deaths allegedly related to SARS-CoV-2 and including graphic photographs of body bags being stacked everywhere because of the overload.

Given that scenario, there are questions concerning the certification of death. First, there is the assumption that death by SARS-CoV-2 is either directly implicated because of respiratory failure or indirectly related because it triggered death through one or more co-morbidities. Second, there is the assumption that all of the deceased were tested for SARS-CoV-2 prior to admission and were determined to be infected. The questions:

1. In the case of “death by complications arising from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19),” was an autopsy performed to verify that the latter was the actual cause of death?
2. In the case of respiratory failure after intubation, was a CT scan performed to verify that the odd crystalline structure of infection was present in the lungs?

There is reason to believe that, due to the high volume of deaths, neither procedure was performed. In addition, there may be institutional policies that prohibit any post-mortem procedures unless a crime was involved. If this is the case, then there is reason to believe that the SARS-CoV-2 fatality rate is suspect.

Update: As anticipated, the “official” narrative has changed. “Supercorona” is now “super-duper corona,” and it is likely to be described in increasingly terrifying terms.

Kapo-rona Syndrome

A kapo was a concentration camp prisoner who was given privileges in return for supervising prisoner work gangs, and was often a common criminal and frequently brutal to fellow inmates.

As with the kapo, who identified with their captors, the kapo-rona derive their identity from their masters, the Fascists. Like the Borg in “Star Trek,” they have assimilated into the collective. Resistance is futile, but that thought never crosses the minds of the kapo-rona.

The kapo-rona think and talk like the recorded announcements on the bus: “Wear your face masks” or “Maintain social distancing,” they tell people with self-assumed authority. They are currently limited to informing violators of their infractions, but they will soon be actively reporting violations to the police state hotline.

The kapo-rona are good citizens as far as the Fascists are concerned. They listen and absorb the propaganda. They are operantly conditioned to fear death intensely, and then project that fear onto others. They will eventually develop a propensity toward aggression and violence against perpetrators who flout the “supercorona” mandates, thereby mirroring their masters. In effect, their thinking has evolved from “I am afraid of dying” to “I am afraid of dying because of YOU.”

The kapo-rona will become more dangerous as the “supercorona” hoax drags on. The Fascist will keep them and everyone else in check by introducing “super-duper corona” once the novelty of “supercorona” wears off. “Super-super corona” will be far more pervasive and much deadlier. A thinking person might actually see the ruse, but not the kapo-rona. The fear of death blinds them.

For the kapo-rona, the “supercorona” pandemic (sic) has given new meaning to a life that was reduced to cardboard cutouts in the peonage. It is their interim “immortality project” (as defined by the Great Prophet, Ernest Becker). When the “supercorona” fraud is universally exposed, the kapo-rona will slink back into their hovels to wait for another opportunity for faux redemption.
