Recalling George Orwell’s 1984 and Allan Moore’s V for Vendetta: De-mystifying – and Stopping - Creeping Totalitarianism

(And America’s Un-elected, Globalist, Oligarchic, Sociopathic, Robber Baron, Multimillionaire Elites that are Perennially in Power)

On the surface, the coronavirus emergency has nothing in particular to do with Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. What’s obvious is that Donald Trump’s unhinged bluster and inaction let the pandemic get a lethal jump on the United States, people are dying while huge numbers of lives are in jeopardy, and quick drastic steps are imperative. Yet at the same time, the differences between what Biden and Sanders are advocating have enormous implications for what could be done to curb the deadly virus in this country.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- High on hope, Americans and other foreigners have
arrived selling satellite imagery, financial services, grow lights and
other products to profit from Thailand's recently legalized medical
marijuana before Thais figure out how to do it themselves.

Foreigners are excitedly gathering at cannabis networking events in
Bangkok and elsewhere in this Southeast Asian nation, spouting sales
spiels and describing the most fantastic things since seedless joints.

They are also unraveling Thailand's newly created tangle of cannabis
laws to find loopholes and ways to squeeze money from weed.

Medical marijuana became legal in 2019. Recreational use did not and
still includes imprisonment.

As a result, the current investment rush is toward niche
infrastructure for government-controlled medical research and
production.

The Dutch are one of the new dominating suppliers of potent seeds to
Thailand. The Netherlands has spent decades producing some of the best

Ohio immigrants, detained people and family members, lawyers, and grassroots leaders have four demands of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies/courts to protect incarcerated people and immigrants from COVID-19.

1) Immediately and dramatically reduce the number of people in Ohio jails and prisons, including (but not limited to) immigration detainees;

2) Suspend deportations, immigration arrests, and in-person ICE and USCIS appointments;

3) Close the Cleveland Immigration Court, except for detained bond hearings conducted remotely; and

4) Ensure inmates have access to free soap, hand sanitizer, health care, and phone and video calls.

The urgent need for a vaccine

Public health experts say that if the COVID-19 epidemic is not successfully contained, it could become a global pandemic, perhaps spreading to 80% of the world's population. With a 1% mortality rate, this would mean that 70 million people would die of the disease. With a 2% mortality rate, the total number of deaths would be twice that number, 140 million people. Comparable numbers of people have died in the tragic wars and pandemics of the past. There is a serious danger that it might happen again.

Perhaps the best way to avoid such a tragedy would be to quickly develop an inexpensive and effective vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, and to distribute it very widely, free of charge, with the support of government funds. The most promising techniques for doing so, in my opinion, are the methods of monoclonal antibodies and gene-splicing.
