"Hospital ship is actually holding nefarious secrets" is a new and exciting spin on FEMA death camps imo

Yeah, I was going to make a joke about FEMA death ships but then I went to Google and typed in "fema death" and "ships" was one of the suggested completions so it seems that for the people with brain problems this isn't "new" at all :negative:

e: bad snype, have some Google Image Search results for "fema death ships":

The parent company is incorporated in the Bahamas, however, and so Norwegian Cruise Lines is not eligible for any break or stimulus. NCL Pride of America could reflag and it wouldn't matter, because Norwegian isn't getting poo poo anyways,

Hate to tell you this but Maersk Lines Limited is owned by Maersk, American Presidents Lines is owned by CMA CGM, etc. They all receive government subsidies under the Maritime Security Program, I think its $5kk/ship. NCL doesnt get MSP money so they dont need the fig leaf of a US subsidiary. When we go to war, Danish and French companies are moving everything.

The US subsidy, along with government cargo preference, generates big profits for these companies in any economic climate. They like to trot out the parent companies financial difficulties during negotiations no matter how profitable the US is.

Was the Mercy the ship used as a prison/torture ship by the CIA or were those different boats? I can't even remember all the crimes anymore.

Would CIA do that? I am guessing to avoid getting in trouble by doing it in international waters to avoid legal ramifications? But what about God's laws? Didn't they know God was always watching?

The USNS Mercy and Comfort are giant ships that scream "USA USA USA" and are painted white.

So 50/50 chance. CIA usually at least maintains some deniability though, I would assume they'd use some random container ship?

These paragraphs throw so much shade in such a fantastic flat tone


quote:

While the Master was in contact with the head office, gun shots were fired and, shortly thereafter, the navy vessel approached the starboard side at speed with an angle of 135° and purposely collided with the RCGS RESOLUTE. The navy vessel continued to ram the starboard bow in an apparent attempt to turn the ship’s head towards Venezuelan territorial waters.

While the RCGS RESOLUTE sustained minor damages, not affecting vessel’s seaworthiness, it occurs that the navy vessel suffered severe damages while making contact with the ice-strengthened bulbous bow of the ice-class expedition cruise vessel RCGS RESOLUTE and started to take water.

Looks like New York has told EMTs to stop transporting cardiac arrest patients without pulse to the hospitals.

quote:

NYC's paramedics are stretched so thin by the coronavirus that they are told to leave heart attack sufferers at home if they can't get a pulse at the scene

The coronavirus outbreak has left New York City's ambulance services overwhelmed, causing a new directive not to transport some heart attack sufferers to the hospital.

The New York Post obtained a memo that was sent out to the city's Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) on Tuesday, saying that if they can't get a pulse from a cardiac arrest patient at the scene, then they shouldn't transport them to the hospital as is normally advised.

The directive was sent out by the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York, which oversees the city's ambulance service. The organization did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The Tuesday memo told paramedics to still try and resuscitate cardiac arrest patients as usual, but changed its guidance on what to do if they can't restart the heart at the scene.

If paramedics fail to get a pulse, they should turn the body over to the New York Police Department or its body removal team, the new directive said.

New York has surpassed the total amount of active cases my entire country has like 3 days ago, and it has three times the deaths. The development today alone looks absolutely ridiculous.
