He does, but Jones thinks it's the NWO lizard elites that call us 'useless eaters' which is why they want the global population down to 500m people.
I'm never quite sure why the elites would want to do that, because surely the more of us there are, the more competition there is for limited resources, and more money they can get from rent and control of the economy. This would also fit better with the observation that if the elites genuinely did control the world and wanted massive population reduction, they're doing a poo poo job of it over the past few decades.
It's straight from the georgia guidestones
Which again, why are the elites secretly putting their giant plan out in the open for anyone to see. It's been a while since I've read into it, but I seem to recall it being a rosicrucian thing, or at least made by some wealthy weirdo rosicrucian.

Today, just 18 days later, the number 3,763.

How do you expect people to stay calm with so many politicians freaking out? California, Ohio, and Illinois want to close all bars and restaurants. Gov. Cuomo wants the military called up. Some cities are talking about curfews.
This is quickly escalating out of control. And the result of this panic is going to be worse than the disease.

I had a bout of the flu in the early 90s that sounds about what this guy has.
I had a fever of 103, I was hallicinating, and coughing up chunks of hard, dark green stuff along with blood.
It took 3 weeks to finally get over it, I still looked like I had two black eyes, and I was a healthy, in shape 25 year old at the time.
So, unless you know for sure, it could be “just” the flu.

Here’s what we see happening (especially here on FR):
Normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a tendency for people to believe that things will always function the way they normally have functioned and therefore to underestimate both the likelihood of a disaster and its possible effects. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare themselves for disasters, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. About 70% of people reportedly display normalcy bias during a disaster.[1]
The normalcy bias can manifest itself in various disasters, ranging from car crashes to world-historical events. It is hypothesized that the normalcy bias may be caused by the way the brain processes new information. Stress slows information processing, and when the brain cannot find an acceptable response to a situation, it fixates on a single and sometimes default solution. This single resolution can result in unnecessary injury or death in disaster situations. The lack of preparation for disasters often leads to inadequate shelter, supplies, and evacuation plans. Thus, normalcy bias can cause people to drastically underestimate the effects of the disaster and assume that everything will be all right. The negative effects of normalcy bias can be combatted through the four stages of disaster response: preparation, warning, impact, and aftermath.
Normalcy bias has also been called analysis paralysis, the ostrich effect,[2] and by first responders, the negative panic.[3] The opposite of normalcy bias is overreaction, or worst-case scenario bias,[4][5] in which small deviations from normality are dealt with as signals of an impending catastrophe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias
This is why even Newt warning people about Italy is denied by a good percentage of the posters here:
https://www.newsweek.com/newt-gingrich-i-am-italy-amid-coronavirus-crisis-america-must-act-now-act-big-opinion-1492270
How can we overcome Normalcy Bias and get people to do social distancing and take other proper steps in the midst of this crisis?
Not sure.

I was at the emergency for St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way, Washington with my son. He was running a 104 degree temperature and coughing like crazy. I talked to them and wanted to know if he was going to be tested for the coronavirus. They said they would only test those who matched the profile they have been given. So, they did not test my son. My son ran a high fever for three more days and went to his clinic. They also did not do a coronavirus test. Now I am getting information that they did not ask for the test kits so they could send them to the CDC. So, how were they determining if people were sick with the virus? How many people slipped through the system and infected others?

And, YES! There will be very ill people. There are very ill people, EVERY DAY in America. There are hundreds of veterans committing suicide. Hundreds of babies die in abortions. So far...dozens have died from this hoax.
There is not nearly the concern over these deaths as for the potential number of fatalities from this contrived pandemic.

The only confirmed birds to have killed people are cassowaries and ostriches, along with a chicken with a knife attached to its leg (at a cockfight, but still). Bits of kids have been found in African crowned eagle’s nests, but that could have been scavenged. Getting that, plus more info on cassowaries’s assholeness, including that we may have caused some of it, here:
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/how-dangerous-are-cassowaries-really/
African eagles have definitely killed young Australopithecines, no reason to think they stopped when the genus name changed.

Romney calls for government to send $1,000 check to every adult to deal with coronavirus posted by freeper kevcol
I'm only posting the ones that aren't "lol, romney", which is most of them.
Lots of this one.

Why not $50,000?

And lots of this one.

I think Mitt can deal with the first few thousand of these out of his own checkbook, right this moment, without bureaucratic delay. Maybe every single one of the currently diagnosed cases. Go for it, Mitt!

Helicopter money never gives people the real reassurance that they need to get past a panic. The best thing the Congress could do would be to provide continuity of business insurance to small and medium sized businesses that do not lay off anyone during the shutdowns. This would insure that these business can maintain their operations without cutting into the employment rate which would be a serious trigger leading to a self fulfilling recession.

So the market has all but crashed. And now they want to devalue the dollar by printing more? That’s a double whammy on people who have been responsible and a gift to those that haven’t. A lot of American lives are being destroyed for a pandemic that has claimed a total of 6800 lives world wide. They better bring some sanity to this situation soon, or I fear things are going to really explode.

Romney displays the Grand Illusion:
Why didn’t you suggest this before the “pandemic”?
Why didn’t you suggest this when “patient zero-USA” was confirmed?
Why didn’t you suggest this when hundreds began dying in Wuhan?
Why didn’t the gummint cut me a check 6-FRIGGIN-MONTHS-AGO just on the suspicion that the flu season might get ugly?
Why don’t we just cut everyone an annual check to cover all of our citizen’s despair?
How much can I get?

A legit concern.

I have become a progressive I guess, because i’m just depressed enough that I would love to get a check for $1000.
Not sure how the government knows the names and addresses of every adult though. And how do we get the checks to the homeless people?

What a stupid idiot! That only dilutes the purchasing power of money and means that it takes more money to buy things. Then the folks demand another thousand, or two, and on it goes.
It’s OUR money that the government has. To give 1000 to every adult, it needs to collect 3-4000 from every working person. So working people get a shaft up the xxx as usual, and the indolent get some spending money.
The government doesn’t create money. It prints more bills, causing an immediate drop in the buying power of EVERY dollar in existence.

It’s called unemployment insurance numbnuts.
If someone is working and is suddenly out of work, that’s what unemployment insurance is for. For the layabouts on welfare, what’s the difference? They still get to use the government to steal my hard-earned money so they can lay about masturbating and playing video games while I work for a living.

What a total dumbass. The economy is having is a DEMAND problem (no demand for cruises, air travel, restaurants, ...) that additional money will not help.
Can’t believe I ever voted for this moron.

I actually like this idea. Do it for the next 2 months.
Laid off people don’t have to worry about rent or mortgage.
People will spend it and keep the economy going.

Mark my words, Democrats will come out and proclaim this is proof positive that Republicans are uncaring racists because they didn’t offer everyone $10,000 and womyn and minorities $50,000.
See how this game is played?

With all the money the government wastes on non tax paying Americans I don't blame you for wanting a little for yourself. The bureaucrats misplace or lose more money then this would cost.

I would think it is a good idea. Problem is that Mitt is supporting it.

Why? There's no place to spend it after all your dimwit buddies in government are closing the businesses.
The ones that are open have empty shelves because of empty headed politicians, like you, causing a buying frenzy.
Rot in hell Mit.

Nope actually the Dems are too busy saying "Whoa we can't do that, poor people might benefit from it."

How do they feel now that Trump supports giving everyone a check?
Don't worry, when Trump realizes that Mnuchin intends to not send checks to people who make over 130k, and that means Trump won't get one, he'll shut that poo poo down.

In my personal life I'm finding to my horror that the previous month's Trump/Fox messaging of "just the flu no big deal" is baked in hard with the chuds now and the attempt, sort of, at a 180 is not really taking.

Reading the Freep thread about ICE stopping their arrests of non-criminals, I am sort of seeing that. They're very upset that ICE aren't going out to arrest people in the middle of a pandemic and are seeing it as an assault on the US.
Now, if Trump were to tell ICE to get back at it despite the extreme risks, they'd be the first to applaud.

I suspect as the weeks go on and things get worse the "it's not a big deal" truism will stick in their brains and morph into "It's a hoax perpetuated by the deep state to instate martial law!" or "its real but was bioengineered by the deep state to instate martial law!"

Can we please change this thread's stale old title? If we can't find something fresh in the middle of a pandemic that slaughters people in the Freeper age range, what does that say about is?
