Sitting here in limbo Waiting for the dice to roll, Sitting here in limbo Got some time to search my soul from “Sitting in Limbo,” by Jimmy Cliff
Reggae singer Jimmy Cliff’s classic song comes to mind frequently these days. As I watch replays of the Boston Red Sox marching toward a World Series win a couple years ago (not much sports on TV), what truly amazes me now isn’t the great clutch hitting but rather seeing 35,000 people packed together at Fenway Park and cheering. I’m further amazed as I watch the ads preceding and following the highlights— crowds of people in restaurants and groupies at musical performances and new cars in heavy traffic crowding highways.
Was it really just a few weeks ago that we were all doing those sorts of things, barely giving our casual gatherings a second thought? Will we ever so casually resume our previous way of life? If not, how will things be different?
To the first question, of course, the answer is sadly affirmative—life has changed radically in barely an instant. But a crisis of the magnitude we are witnessing injects fear into the equation and thereby alters our ability to anticipate the future in any kind of clear-eyed way.
Of course, no one knows what the future holds even in good times. But in the toughest of times, and a pandemic definitely qualifies as toughest, it becomes necessary to face unpleasant truths. Here are a few of the unpleasant truths I expect we’re going to have to face up to:
- The American government’s failure to anticipate and prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic has been so complete and total (compared to other countries like South Korea, China, Taiwan, and Germany) that historians and other investigators will eventually conclude it dwarfs other failures of preparedness, like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attack of 9/11. The current failures are on all levels, from a failure to develop testing that could have led to quarantining of initial cases, to a failure to have stocks of medical supplies like surgical masks for health workers and the general public, to a failure to act quickly enough to shut down COVID-19 hot spots.
- The failure to prepare will not only lead to many thousands of needless American deaths, but also quite likely to a serious recession and possible depression. All you have to do is take a look at how projections for “social distancing” are being extended. Trump talked a week ago about “getting back to work” by Easter, but of course that prediction was quickly thrown out the window when his own polling showed Americans were against it. Now you see projections about Major League Baseball “possibly” getting restarted July 4 (and playing in empty stadiums), and a Boston museum considering a September 1 re-opening. The problem is that so long as we have social distancing requirements in place, we can’t re-open major segments of the economy, including travel, restaurants, entertainment, beauty salons, and even health care. And the longer major segments of the economy remain hobbled or shut down, the longer the government needs to provide financial support to millions of people…or risk a return to 1930s-style survival.
- Last, but not least, we’ve experienced a total breakdown of leadership at the national level. We’ve been fortunate that governors like Andrew Cuomo of NY and Charlie Baker of MA have taken up some of the slack (see this wonderful story about how Baker arranged for the New England Patriots’ plane to pick up N95 masks in China), but the absence of leadership from the top has been astounding. Leadership is about inspiring trust and confidence during a time of crisis, about providing a vision for how we might emerge from the crisis, and all we’ve heard from the top has been lies, contradictions, and diversions. Here are just a few examples from the president:
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.” (Feb. 24)
“We’re going very substantially down, not up…And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” (Feb. 26)
“We had a great meeting today with a lot of the great companies and they’re going to have vaccines, I think relatively soon. And they’re going to have something that makes you better and that’s going to actually take place, we think, even sooner.” (March 2)
“It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” (March 10)
“President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise…” (March 29, Tweet from Trump)
So when the prez said earlier this week that America faces “a painful two weeks,” and could have 200,000 deaths from this pandemic, it was difficult to know whether to take him seriously.
The U.S. has in the past been fortunate to have had the right leaders in place at key crises. George Washington to lead us through the Revolutionary War. Abraham Lincoln to lead us through the carnage of the Civil War. Franklin Roosevelt to lead us out of the Great Depression (“The only thing we have have to fear is fear itself.”) and to victory in World War II.
Unfortunately, we seem to have run out of leadership luck. The local food movement will likely get a shot in the arm, and with that, perhaps an improvement in the diets of many. Otherwise, how will our future lives be different when this ends? Right now, our hopes for salvation seem to ride on development of a vaccine sometime in the next year or two. That’s a strange kind of salvation, when it’s not clear a reliable vaccine is even possible (they don’t work too well for the flu). Or maybe, as Mark McAfee suggests, we’ll all pay more attention to our immune systems going forward. That’s a long time to be “sitting in limbo.” I fear that when the dust clears, things will be much different, and beyond the rise of local food, not in a very good way.
First, though, you must believe we are in the midst of a true pandemic, and not a global failure of good science. I am sticking my neck out here in saying this, but the more I read from independent journalists and scientists who are courageous enough to risk their reputations by speaking their truths, I am not fearful of any novel virus. I am fearful of media-fomented panic, economic collapse and the human suffering and death sure to come from current and possibly more harsh, future counter measures. I am also deeply concerned we might lose civil liberties, medical freedoms, parental rights, and have our privacy stolen.
You don’t have to be fearful to admit there’s a pandemic. If you look at this map kept by Johns Hopkins since January, it’s difficult to argue against a pandemic. At the end of January, the world total stood at about 80,000, mostly from China. Today, it stands at more than 800,000, a tenfold increase, and includes every country in the world.

I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if there are efforts to infringe on our civil liberties and such. Definitely a way to shut down growing criticism of their incompetence.
I would ask first, what are they using for those statistics? I suspect many of the numbers are estimated. Those with unrelated respiratory issues, immune issues, cardiac and circulatory problems are all now lumped under Covid deaths. The test is meaningless. It can detect even fragments of virus and amplify that to say you are infected when really, your immune system is handling it just fine. It doesn’t measure viral load, which really shows if you are ill. It doesn’t differentiate between various corona viruses which is a very broad category, including the common cold. You always have some viruses in you body and if you depend on a PCR test, most of the population is dying. The anti-body test is even more misleading. It only tells you that at some time, your body was exposed to a pathogen but doesn’t mean you are currently struggling with that pathogen. Italy has one of the oldest populations in the EU, many smokers, they have more mixing of young and elderly. Start with an elderly population with compromised lung health and ANY flu will take them out…as happens every year. You just don’t see it on the news 24/7. My newspaper made a two page story of 6 people dying in a nursing home. Four were in mid nineties and two, late eighties. All had ” underlying health issues” which means they were all very ill, weak, with one foot in the grave. So they now become Covid19 victims instead of dying after a long illness, which is the real story. The media have fueled the hysteria and created a panicked population. There is most likely a ” novel corona virus” that in certain people will create serious problem. But I don’t trust the numbers being fed to us. Get ready for mandatory vaccinations based upon these false numbers. Someone will profit while the economy tanks.
The data on the Johns Hopkins site comes from the public health agencies around the world. I’m sure it’s not without problems, at least in some countries, but it’s the best we have…..and it tells a terrifying story of an out-of-countrol pandemic, with 1.1 million illnesses (as of tonight). The U.S. has way more illnesses than any other country at this point– about one-fourth of the world’s total, 276,000, which is quite a sorry accomplishment. I don’t think too many countries are seeking to inflate their numbers–they’re not something to be proud of. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

Rather than succumb to fear and the temptation to control that which is beyond control we would have been much further ahead to continue on with business as usual and allow the virus to establish itself in the general population. In other words, use the same protocols as is done with influenza minus the vaccine yet with the addition of immune enhancing lifestyles and techniques.
It will be interesting to see how countries such as Belarus with a population density of 121 people per square mile and who have not caved in this covid-19 fear mongering frenzy, compare to countries such as the United states and Canada with population densities respectively of 94 people and 11 people per square mile…
https://www.straitstimes.com/world/coronavirus-how-some-countries-are-keeping-or-not-keeping-people-indoors
“The borders are open. People are still visiting their favourite cafes, and parks are full of families. Seen as one of Europe’s most restrictive countries, Belarus is taking a more laissez-faire approach to the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
“It’s better to die standing than to live on your knees,” said President Alexander Lukashenko, laughing in an interview with the state-owned ONT TV channel after playing an ice hockey match.
The 65-year-old leader said playing sports, especially his favourite game of ice hockey, is the best medicine to fight the virus. So far, he has resisted introducing widespread quarantines even as neighbouring countries such as Poland and Russia shut their borders and start lockdown measures.
Mr Lukashenko, who’s still focused on the economic impact of coronavirus, called foreign politicians’ measures a “psychosis” used to advance their own interests – from taking protesters off the streets to managing elections.
Belarus has reported more than 150 cases of infection and one death so far.
Milk Dumping:
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/04/02/dairy-farmers-dumping-milk-as-demand-vanishes/
This week all my work in the last 15 years of working with researchers has paid off.
Every year I am the only farmer that attends the IMGC conferences and the only one to learn the greatest new things about milk genomics from the Phds themselves. Wow. Then I spend each year teaching and sharing that newest data. You don’t sell raw milk…. you teach it!
This week, Phds contacted me about making an immune milk! Yes…. cows are antibody makers. Always have been.
Can not say much more about all this. Suffice it to say that things are changing very fast in the research world. Grant funds are being given quickly to “ science the shit out of this” as Matt Damon said on “The Martian”
There is a realization that drugs won’t solve this. A strong, adaptive and resilient immune system will!
What makes the immune system? Raw milk with all its uncountable Goodies still in it sure will.
It’s the gut stupid!!!!!!!
Exceptionally exciting times.
First I heard of “immune milk” was on page 143 of The Milk Book by Dr Wm Campbell Douglass
Another remarkable protective mechanism of the human breast is the diathelic phenomenon.
The diathelic mechanism is a wonder of nature. The breast is stimulated by bacteria introduced at the teat by the baby. The bacteria travel up the teat into the breast tissue, causing an immediate reaction with the formation of antibodies, which can then be found back in the mother’s milk within eight hours.
If the mother is healthy, this is a practically fool-proof system of protection for the baby. Klaus has stated it well, “The mother does not serve merely as a passive transmitter of immunity. Instead, the mammary gland is able to react to the microbes brought to it by the infant and respond with a fast production of specific antibody… The mammary gland is an exocrine reticuloendothelial gland which is ‘lend leased’ functionally to the infant at a time when his own reticuloendothelial system is inadequate.”
An excellent summary of the history of ‘immune milk’ is : The Saga of Immune Milk by Anthony di Fabio.

…” the mammary gland is able to react to the microbes brought to it by the infant and respond with a fast production of specific antibody”. That is, until antibiotics and antiseptics etc. enter into the equation…

Ozone destroys all known Viruses wholesale. When the SARs epidemic hit a few years ago, two health workers about to die with no hope of recovery were given Ozone treatment and completely recovered.
It’s been used since the 1930s as a disinfectant and treatment of disease. Leave an Ozone machine in a room for an hour or two and it is completely disinfected. Let ozone circulate in a room with a sick person and their condition often radically changes for the better. So treating you and your family daily to virus removal with no harsh side effects would be a fabulous idea, and the machine can cost around just $40 on eBay,
The only caution using Ozone is that excess long term concentrations can cause irritation to the mucous membrane and respiratory tract. So, an indirect source say coming from a hallway into a bedroom would not be excessive.
Here’s an article on Ozone’s properties. I recommend you look at getting a machine.

If I were to hazard a guess, this coronavirus was well established several months before the official pandemic was declared… Indeed a “so-called pandemic that is no more dangerous than influenza.
”In an article on the website of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Jefferson and Carl Heneghan, director of the centre and editor of BMJ EBM, write, “There can be little doubt that covid-19 may be far more widely distributed than some may believe. Lockdown is going to bankrupt all of us and our descendants and is unlikely at this point to slow or halt viral circulation as the genie is out of the bottle… What the current situation boils down to is this: is economic meltdown a price worth paying to halt or delay what is already amongst us?”

David, never mind the 30k at Fenway it’s a drop in the bucket and unbeknownst to 99% of the world’s other people than maybe puerto rico, venezuela and cuba population. Look around wider and you’d see that baseball is hardly a measuring stick, that’s 99% of the world’s population that don’t give a flying dip to a baseball stick. Did I say that already? The sports dead zone is actually soccer, much as Americans don’t even know or wanna know it. Look at the MONEY figure$ speaks for itself.
And I’ll tell you why: Some (American) sports require $money$ You need shoulder pads, gloves, rackets, skates/ice, I’m sure I forgot some but you get the idea. Soccer, if one kid has some rolled up socks you can kick around you’ve got a game on, any questions?
Calm down, Ora. I was just using baseball as one example of sports being shut down. I happen to be a baseball fan, but I know I’m part of a dying breed. I know soccer is the world’s most popular sport. When my kids were little, I loved it that they preferred being soccer players over hockey goalies, based on the cost of equipment.
It’s all good David, I won’t even try to pretend that one sport is better than another because in reality the sport you play is the best one because it’s a part of your life, more than TV can ever provide. I just saw a tree fall down in my back yard and it didn’t make any noise good thing it didn’t land on the house.
Sorry David, please don’t take it personally it just really irks. Go ahead an dban me. I’ve been kicked out of worse places.

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” CS Lewis
https://1zl13gzmcsu3l9yq032yyf51-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/C.S.-Lewis-Quote2-1024×538.jpg
“Looking down on things” would include the current supercilious attitudes reflected in the absurd methods being used in an attempt to “snuff out” this novel coronavirus… Restrictions on movement and so called hygiene protocols will eventually be relaxed, not because they were effective but because the virus has established itself in the general population and a state of herd immunity has been achieved…
“Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a highly contagious, infectious respiratory disease that is caused by Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1). It can affect young and older cattle. … IBR is characterised by acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. After the first infection, the virus is never fully removed.”
A few years ago, I spoke on this blog about having purchased seven springing bred Jersey heifers out of a herd that was certified and fully vaccinated for the above virus as well as the heifers themselves having been vaccinated prior to them having been shipped to me. Within several weeks after having received them and after they had calved two of the heifers acquired a serious case of IBR, the third case was less severe and in the remaining four the disease was hardly noticeable. I noted when I made my comment that the heifers even though they had acquired IBR after having been introduced into my herd of over 72 animals consisting of mature milking cows, bred heifers, yearling heifers and calves from a day old and up that none of those animals from my existing unvaccinated herd had developed the disease. I queried the vet who had made the diagnosis that if this disease was as highly contagious and infectious as was claimed why did the animals in my herd not get ill? I also questioned the effectiveness of the vaccine and suggested that the purchased heifers acquired IBR because of the vaccine and he agreed, stating that that sometimes happens. As to why my animals did not get ill, he stated that it was likely because they had been previously naturally exposed to the virus which in turn resulted in overall herd immunity…
Talk about a skewed study… Using Vitamin C as a placebo??!!
Why would this coronavirus study use Vitamin C as a placebo? Placebos are supposed to be inert substances and Vitamin C is certainly not inert. Are they that ignorant to the healing power of Vitamin C. Perhaps someone can explain what these so called doctors/scientists hope to accomplish…

Everyone here will be interested in this hypothesis about COVID 19.
https://jennifermargulis.net/glyphosate-and-covid-19-connection/
Mary, thanks for posting this article on Dr. Stephanie Seneff’s hypothesis that glyphosate fumes from biofuels may be underlying the Covid-19 “pandemic”. If she is correct, it seems Covid-19 is not an infectious disease and therefore developing a herd immunity to it is not possible. Any quarantine for it works only because it’s shutting down traffic and demand for biofuels. I don’t foresee any reduction in the use of biofuels, so once life returns to normal, Covid-19 will be a recurring problem. If her hypothesis is correct.
An interesting theory that definitely deserves to be explored further… One of a growing list of proposals related to this current world wide politicized fear driven situation we find ourselves in. Unfortunately… and as usual… the tptb have chosen to blame a microbe for our problems rather search for and consider the root cause. What is truly amazing is that this current situation is not a black and white issue, but the media, politicians and officials at large, especially those involved in the World Health Organization are treating it as if it is…

“QUESTIONING THE NARRATIVE”
https://www.thelunaticfarmer.com/blog/4/8/2020/questioning-the-narrative
“What differentiates the kind of person who believes the official narrative without question, and the kind of person who dares to question?”
my quick answer to your query, is : the critical person is one who has had a real-world experience where the Central Party Line has been proven to be an outright lie.
in 2000, we were told that it was very important for the City of Burnaby to be sprayed with Foray 48B in order to “exterminate” ( the word used in the propaganda) the Gypsy Moth. Because we had bees in our backyard within the proposed spray zone, I read the printed material particularly the fine print, in which they admitted the spray would NOT exterminate the Gypsy Moth.
As was our right under the pertinent legislation, we mounted a full-blown Environmental Appeal Board hearing with 22 interested parties opposed to the spraying, lasting 5 full days. At the end of which, the Tribunal ruled the spraying would go ahead. A year later via Freedom of Information, I proved that the Cabinet Order for the spraying to happen REGARDLESS of whatever the EAB ruled, had been literally sitting in a drawer, waiting to be signed, all the while we were going through the charade.
The fact sheet for Foray 48B set out that it contained LIVE Escheria Coli bacteria. So a quarter of a million people were then doused from on high by a crop duster plane, 5 times over a month of April with LIVE BACTERIA. This ! with a substance proven to have caused spontaneous abortions in pregnant women as well as FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS in the elderly.
in fact, – as I proved via their own document received later via Freedom of Information – the spraying was a test for Response Biomedical Corporation of Burnaby BC, of its (then ) new RAMP biological materials analysis device. The RAMP passed the test and was accepted by the US Armed Forces for use in theatres of war.
For weeks prior to the spray, the local rags gave the controversy front page treatment. But when I submitted the above proof of rank government lying to the highest level, the same LugenPresse wouldn’t print a line of type about the scandal
Gordon S Watson ; Canadian Dissident Voices
Dr. M. Wittkowski according to the following article, “is among the many, even many hundreds, of epidemiologists and other medical research professionals whose expertise was not consulted in the frenzied weeks in which the American political class at all levels chose panic and shutdown over rationality and rights… His work has been widely cited in the technical/medical literature. So try to understand his frustration with everything going on around him. A lifetime of work toward understanding diseases and their spread, and he has to watch all this unfold in the most brutal way that contradicts everything he knows and has tried to teach.
The article quotes Dr Wttkowski… “With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children. So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible, and then the elderly people, who should be separated, and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been exterminated…. We are experiencing all sorts of counterproductive consequences of not well-thought-through policy….”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr – “Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism.
Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans.
Promising to eradicate Polio with $1.2 billion, Gates took control of India ‘s National Advisory Board (NAB) and mandated 50 polio vaccines (up from 5) to every child before age 5. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian Government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAB. Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously. In 2017, the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is coming from Gates’ Vaccine Program. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates’ vaccines. By 2018, ¾ of global polio cases were from Gates’ vaccines.
In 2014, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by GSK and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates funded researchers committed pervasive ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.
In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a trial of a GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions to 1,048 of the 5,049 children.
During Gates 2002 MenAfriVac Campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Between 50-500 children developed paralysis. South African newspapers complained, “We are guinea pigs for drug makers”
Nelson Mandela’s former Senior Economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates’ philanthropic practices as “ruthless” and immoral”.
In 2010, Gates committed $ 10 billion to the WHO promising to reduce population, in part, through new vaccines. A month later Gates told a Ted Talk that new vaccines “could reduce population”. In 2014, Kenya’s Catholic Doctors Association accused the WHO of chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a phony “tetanus” vaccine campaign.
Independent labs found the sterility formula in every vaccine tested.
After denying the charges, WHO finally admitted it had been developing the sterility vaccines for over a decade.
Similar accusations came from Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines.
A 2017 study (Morgensen et.Al.2017) showed that WHO’s popular DTP is killing more African than the disease it pretends to prevent. Vaccinated girls suffered 10x the death rate of unvaccinated children.
Gates and the WHO refused to recall the lethal vaccine which WHO forces upon millions of African children annually.
Global public health advocates around the world accuse Gates of – hijacking WHO’s agenda away from the projects that are proven to curb infectious diseases; clean water, hygiene, nutrition and economic development.
