Welcome, O ye who are members of the Order of Readers of the Old Gringo…(OROGs)!!
It is well taken that the Old Gringo is a bit given to strong opinion, but it is my genuine belief…or even certain knowledge, that the Red Chinese were up to something during the past five years, pertaining to chemical and/or medical weaponry. And, essentially that "something" failed them badly.
This Nation and several others have paid the price and continue to pay the price for the ineptitude or the intention or both of the Chinese Communist government in this matter of the release of the corona virus respiratory poison.
My understanding is that they had started manipulating the structure of other viruses and the whole programme was one that was kept "top secret" until the matter began to be rumoured in various alleys and corners around the spy-community world. But to whatever end, it is well to consider a few things pertaining to this matter.
First of all, almost all of the deaths related to this new menace have been suffered by people who have very seriously challenged immune system disorders, chronic serious health complications, or were of advanced age with serious compromises with heart / lung disease or other such debilitations.
Where there have been significant congregations of morbidity such as at the one Old Folks Home in Washington State where 17 or 18 died of probable corona virus…almost all in late January, February, and early March of this year.
What is peculiar is that the leftist political and "journalistic" element resents the notion that somehow Trump is being overlooked as the culpable party here, while the ever so pure of motive Chinese Communists are innocent of any malfeasance or criminality.
These mid-day "press conferences" hosted by Trump during the past few days have been a torture for this observer because the interrogators are so similar to crazed dogs. They look for some way to shred the cloth and flesh of the President by asking that final, terminal question, like, "Mr. President, why did you personally go out at night and inject corona virus material into peoples' homes and vehicles?" It is Joy Bahar Lobotomy Week…banal questions…all leading…all coy and so very "intelligent", designed to trap the President into making a stupid remark or error in stats or memory.
The President may be rough-hewn, boorish, overly blunt, etc. but he is not stupid. The President is not my cup of tea (I am a Cruz - type fellow), but I am willing to put up with some of his old liberal proclivities and tendencies in order to keep the hordes of wharf rats from taking over the White House.
It is with little sense of guilt or concern that I suggest that the proposals being forged on the floor of Congress are ill conceived. Within the offices of the White House much fluster is being made concerning "pump-priming" a recovery from this infirmity shock set upon the World by the Red Chinese…will have more problems than solution in the medium to long run.
We remind the readers and the community that the Panic of 1896, due to many reasons, was not solved by "pump priming" the Treasury, but rather by the Spanish - American War, (1898 - 1899). That war gave us the Philippine Insurrection, (1899 - 1903) and hung us with Puerto Rico, Guam, and great adventures like the Panama' Canal…an albatross we finally have to give away to the "Panamanians" (at the hands of John Wayne and Jimmy Carter)…it has been quite a ride.
Woodrow Wilson, who would not shake hands with Booker Tecumseh Washington, also became a doddering fool, apparently suffering from early on-set of a form of Alzheimer's. He back Villa in the civil war in Mexico, and then suddenly ordered his extinction in favour of the pro-marxist Venustiano Carranza and Alvaro Obregon (both corrupt leftists maniac…both were assassinated by fellow nut-cases). It is said that Mrs. Wilson actually ran affairs in the White House, especially for the last two years.
The Spanish Flu beset Mexico and the United States and many other countries during the immediate post - World War I, leaving millions dead. In the United States, as in most parts of the known world at that time, the Spanish Flu was devastating…demographically destructive to the roots of almost every race and culture. To wit:
It is well taken that the Old Gringo is a bit given to strong opinion, but it is my genuine belief…or even certain knowledge, that the Red Chinese were up to something during the past five years, pertaining to chemical and/or medical weaponry. And, essentially that "something" failed them badly.

The Spanish Flu beset Mexico and the United States and many other countries during the immediate post - World War I, leaving millions dead. In the United States, as in most parts of the known world at that time, the Spanish Flu was devastating…demographically destructive to the roots of almost every race and culture. To wit:
…..and among members of the U.S. Navy, this number reached up to 40% disabled and 5% dead, possibly due to the flu and the compounding conditions of serving at sea. The flu had killed 200,000 Americans by the end of October 1918, and Bristow claims that the pandemic killed over 675,000 Americans in total during the 1918 - 1919 period. The impact on the population was so severe that in 1918, American life expectancy was reduced by 12 years.
Bodies piled up to such an extent that cemeteries were overwhelmed and families had to dig graves for their relatives. The deaths created a shortage of farmworkers, which affected the late summer harvest. As in Britain, a lack of staff and resources put other services, such as waste collection, under pressure.
The population of the United States at that time was 104,000,000. A similar event occurred in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon during the early 1890s, when a flu swept through that major city and its surrounding towns and villages. From a combined population of approximately 200,000 souls, a total of 25,000 died from that plague (to-day's population of that same metroplex is right at 4,500,000).
We move on to the Great Depression…blamed on Herbert Hoover…and all credit given to Franklin Delano Roosevelt for having "saved America" from the Depression. The problem, of course, is that inconvenient fact that the thing that dragged America out of the Depression…finally…was the starting and ending of World War II. You all know, it's a convenient way to achieve "full employment" and to move money around for the benefit of all.
Of course the killed and wounded did not have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their labour, but…the War ended the Depression.

To sum it up, this writer does not have total faith in the idea that we can throw one or two trillion dollars at a situation that is in flux, that requires the overview of fifteen or twenty central government bureaucracy in Washington, D.C. It is a matter of certainty that the "necessary horse-trading" that will be conducted will guarantee that Shumer, Pelosi, and Schiff will carry off as much vote-buying sludge as possible.
O'bama's "pump-priming", rebuilding the Minneapolis bridge, etc. mire the American economy for eight years, Roosevelt's dumping billions into the Chasm of No Return, and all such efforts…fail, and fail profoundly.
Thanks to one and all…it's good to see so many returning, judging by the enumerator.
