Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | "Fusion Ken" Dilanian Has a Fever and the Only Prescription Is More Propaganda on Behalf of ChinaDoes FusionGPS have a new client? Remember, FusionGPS has previously worked for the Russian and Venezuelan governments, seeding those hostile regimes' propaganda into the US press, planting foreign countries' propaganda through friendly "journalists," some of whom Fusion has admitted to directly paying for " " " " " research " " " " " purposes. So: Is FusionGPS now working for Communist China, and using, as usual, Ken Dilanian as a paid mouthpiece to plant their client's propaganda in the American press? It's impossible to say with so little information available. That said, the answer is "Yes, obviously." Remember a few weeks ago when the New York Times claimed that China donated medical equipment to Italy (a country which they infected with the plague), only to admit in paragraph 28 that China did not donate this equipment, but sold it?

They're in bed with China and they need to appease them. Also, China has business counterparties in the US whose own pecuniary interests would be hurt by any pressure on China or any tariffs.

I don't care if China did send them something gratis, and I don't know if they did. But this jagoff is spiking on the USA at this point? What a piece of "jagoff".

China as a brand in the US is dead. Not so, elsewhere, methinks. Consider the relationship the Philippines has with China, and most likely other developing nations as well. And the Chinee products being peddled in the Philippines are not the same as those sold here. Many items here are set to a higher standard (read - standard, as in 'any' standard). There are no standards for products sold in the Philippines manufactured by China. I asked mom in law to buy a corkscrew went she went into town one day. (I did have one, but wanted a second one to loan out). She returned with a plastic corkscrew. It was plastic! Like a kids toy. Plastic.Corkscrew. 100% ineffective piece of Chinese garbage.

Posted by: rickb223 at March 26, 2020 04:12 PM (Vddbf) My sister was really sick for a few days about 3 weeks ago. Was feeling fine in the morning, suddenly felt like shit. No respiratory problems though - just a bad headache and weakness. She's a nurse and has wondered if it was corona. She thinks probably not, since she went back to work 5 days after getting sick and nobody in her department got sick. I didn't catch her bug either. Remember, corona isn't the only virus around. There are weird things floating around every year. And people say they have the "flu" when they don't have the flu. If it's intestinal, it's not the flu.

@20: "How serious/unconfortable are the symptoms?"
I'm not a doctor, and I've never played one of television, but I'd say this virus really does affect everyone differently. Sure, common symptoms, but I suspect those with any kind of auto-immune troubles, or any family history of auto-immune disease, are gonna get hit harder than others, and their experiences might not follow the usual pattern or timeline of symptoms. 1. First sign of trouble was waking up one morning and suddenly having pain in both wrists and ankles. I've never experienced anything like that before. Maybe best described as a rheumatoid arthritis flare up. RA does run in my mother's family, so maybe there's a connection. My brother had gout troubles in college, but he was a bigger guy. I've had two big toe flares up in my lifetime, and the pain was gone within six hours both times. 2. Woke up day two with neck glands swollen and hard. I used to get strep throat and short term mononucleosis every spring in middle school and junior high, so I know what glands should and shouldn't feel like. This isn't mono though. No huge wave of fatigue, major sore throat, or sinus involvement. Just swollen glands. 3. Day three was underarm glands, slight fever, general but faint soreness and aches, center of chest pain at the end of deep breaths, quick to sweat during simple physical activity like walking, etc. 4. Woke up day four with another sore joint experience, lungs feeling a tiny bit "wet" all day, dull pain in center of chest but not too painful, mental fogginess, some fatigue. 5. Similar to day four, but neck glands a little worse. Anyways, from everything I've read online, I guess the next seven days will tilt me towards feeling better, or going to the hospital for meds. I haven't experienced any major fever, chills, cold sweats, nausea, or loss of appetitive. I'm taking basic aspirin, echmneca and milk thistle, green tea, plenty of fluids, etc. I'm not worried yet, and assuming my immune system takes care of this on its own, then honestly, I'll be relieved to have gotten this outta the way, sooner than later. But, I will say, I'm surprised to have caught this and be symptomatic, given my age and general health. I figured I'd be one of the lucky ones who was asymptomatic. Again, I didn't catch this from high risk working environments, bad hygiene, or anything obvious. Just going to the grocery store every day in a major metro area, and maybe drinking a little too much whiskey from time to time. Stay safe out there, everyone. Coronavirus is no joke.

You know what's giving me migraines about this whole hysteria is the fact that most of the things I used to do to take a break from politics overload are unavailable.
--- Fantasy sports (no NHL, NBA or MLB) --- watching sports (no NHL, NBA or MLB spring training) --- playing sports (Michigan on 'stay-at-home' orders, so no gatherings) So I've been spending pretty much all my time on AoSHQ reading the posts and comments and then researching things as I find links in posts and from commenters. I'm obsessed with finding as much info as I can, so I can stay up to date, but there's a breaking point. I've learned to step away and try to watch something on TV or pop in a movie to watch. But going on 13 straight days now of not leaving the apartment but 3 times for groceries, I'm going a little stir-crazy. At least with work, it was getting me out of the apartment and interacting with people. Living alone through this and not having my usual escape of sports (watching and/or playing) is taking a toll. I'm pretty much a loner anyway, so I can get through this, despite my complaints here. But I imagine this is affecting others a lot more. Imagine if they decide we need to do this all over again for flue season in OCT. Ugh... Posted by: Clyde Shelton at March 26, 2020 04:20 PM (Do5/p) 240

TWO RELATED QUESTIONS:
(1) Does anyone know what kind of policies (are there ANY?) people like Fusion Ken operate under at NBC on things like taking money from Fusion GPS outfits for pre-packaged "news stories" (probably called "background research")? Are these "journalists" allowed to freely take money, not from NBC (in this case), related to the work product they produce for NBC? Like, if Fusion GPS's bank records showing payments to "journalists" HAD been made public, would that have at least established violation of internal "journalism" policies to these peeps? (Not that the NBCs of the world would have enforced those policies.... just wondering IF there are policies prohibiting this kind of conduct). (2) Related, does anyone know whether outfits like NBC have any policies whereby they're supposed to disclose when all or substantially all of a "news story" by one of its journalists is actually the work product of a 3rd party? Look, I'm a lawyer, so I get that it would be fairly easy to circumvent any such policies. But that's easier at the editorial leadership level than the line-reporter level. It would probably easily fly if Fusion GPS is just handing these reporters pre-packaged "research" and "suggested articles" based on that research, if there was no $ involved. But as soon as Fusion GPSs of the world give a "journalist" something of value IN EXCHANGE for taking and using Fusion GPS work product, it's an entirely different scenario. CLEARLY horrendously unethical, by any measure. But what are the internal rules at these outfits on that?? Are these journalists supposed to at least internally disclose when this happens? Do they need approval? Or, do peeps like Fusion Ken do their Fusion GPS deals on the side, keeping it secret from management? Or, given the partisanship of Editorial Leadership, do they just pretend they don't know? Or, do THEY take the Fusion $, and Fusion Ken is just "doing his job"? Would be super interesting to know how this issue REALLY plays out on the inside of these organizations. I'm very sorry to say, I lean towards everyone overtly being in on it. Why? Because of the AMAZING coordination across media companies, not only of the stories, but the identical verbiage of the same stories. It's so common, it's not even a story to complain about it. It's literally every day, almost every story. We've all seen the super-clips of media personalities across multiple platforms using the EXACT same talking points within hours of Story [X] gaining traction in any given cycle. There's GOT to be a well built-out, tech driven methodology to it all. They've all be working from the EXACT same script for years, even before Trump. It's Journalist, what, 5.0?

Trust me, when things go South, you find out what people are really made of. Most people can bluff their way through every day life, but when a crisis hits you can't fake it. You need to act and make important decisions.
Look around at the past few weeks and tell me some of the we political buffoons are people you can trust your life with. Look at the media and tell me these are people you can entrust your freedom to. The president has outshined everyone. Here's a guy that was admittedly bombastic, but he's seen hard times before and it shows. He's cool, in control and most of all decisive. I am so proud of CiNC right now I can't even express it. Now look around at some of these Blue State Hair on Fire governors, with their end of the world predictions, shutting down gun stores and generally proceeding based on politics, not common sense. Are politics really worth your families lives? Nope. And a lot of people get that now. The media has always been against the American people be have proceeded based on their personal political beliefs, truth be damned. But now they've been outed as full throated supporters of the Communist Chinese over our citizens and our republic. It's both shocking and disgusting. I wish them nothing but to reap what they sow. They are the lowest pieces of shit on our planet. Posted by: Hesco Gypsy, staring from 457 meters at March 26, 2020 04:28 PM (0FRWt) Posted by: krusty at March 26, 2020 04:28 PM (0S7ZP) 306

@174: "Wife and I had something back end of December, first week of January. Acted like the flu, was down for four days, then bam, magically, it was gone."
Indeed. My personal theory is that this virus has been widespread internationally for three to six months longer than assumed. Also, I think the infection rate is actually lower than expected, but the virus survives outside the body longer than usual. It simmers in population centers quietly, and it spikes unusually quick, not because it's more infectious or deadly, rather because a critical mass has finally been reached after a slow and steady build up. *shrugs* Posted by: Walter Freeman at March 26, 2020 04:33 PM (+oVP5) Posted by: garrett at March 26, 2020 04:33 PM (lELxn) 334

China as a "brand" has been dead for a long time. That's why companies started to hide the Made in China label. Now, I think this will kill off a large number of products due to the supply chain issues that most of the mouth breathers in these companies didn't anticipate. Production of critical goods like pharmaceuticals will definitely come back. Companies like GKS who were hiding that products like Excedrin were made with most of the ingredients produced in China better get their shit together. Nobody wants acetaminophen that comes from China or India for that matter.

"360 China as a "brand" has been dead for a long time. That's why companies started to hide the Made in China label. Now, I think this will kill off a large number of products due to the supply chain issues that most of the mouth breathers in these companies didn't anticipate. Production of critical goods like pharmaceuticals will definitely come back. Companies like GKS who were hiding that products like Excedrin were made with most of the ingredients produced in China better get their shit together. Nobody wants acetaminophen that comes from China or India for that matter.
But a lot of goods made in China or from Chinese parts will continue to fly under the wire because people don't pay attention" While the dutiful mandarins of social media will censor it on behalf of the PRC, they won't be able to keep a lid on the list of companies doing business with China and the predictable boycotts and harassment.

310 ....That is so cute! You actually think there are Rules!!!
======= I guarantee you the employment or independent contractor agreements between News leadership and reporters include some kind of "journalism policies" the journalists are supposed to follow. The question is, what exactly are those policies on the scenario when accepting $ from Fusion GPS. Weak tea? Or, expressly prohibit? Whether leadership enforces those policies is yet another separate issue. Look, it's no different than any other employee agreement. "Thou shall not sexually harass anyone." That's what the rule says, but whether and how leadership enforces it is different question.

This area has had two waves of flu this year. I had a two week bout, and it was the usual low grade fever, productive cough, aches and pains (like I don't already have them). Now, I've talked to a few people who thought they had seasonal flu, but in retrospect maybe the Chinese variety. Dry cough, all of them mentioned the taste, or lack of. None mentioned loss of smell but lots of stiff nasal congestion.

Mosin sniper..I won't lie to you.,scope is real but its one of them mosin snipers rebuilt in one of them Russian or Ukranian armories. Rifle WWII. Scope WII..but that was not the scope on that rifle in WWII. They added that on later. Still commands a premium but not mad money, Beware the fakers.Scope is good. No 91/59's but I'm looking for one. I do have some unissued K-31's but it would take mad monety for me to part with those.

Posted by: Jukin the Deplorable and Totally Unserious at March 26, 2020 04:46 PM (pw+jk) +1 on the Remington 870. If you can, find the tactical variant. 12 ga, short barrel. Pump action - nice and easy as long as you don't short stroke it.If you can find it, get Federal LE 12 ga ammo. Has flight control wad. Keeps the pattern nice and tight downrange.

Don't worry about reports from China that say you can get reinfected after you recover from their coronavirus. Their tests are only accurate 20-30% of the time, with both false positives and negatives. So no one in China really knows for sure who has had or hasn't had the virus.

Not really. The most import thing is are you effective with your weapon. A woman and small adults will be way more effective with a 20 than a 12. And trust, you want nothing to do with either if you aren't on the trigger side of one. Posted by: garrett at March 26, 2020 04:51 PM (lELxn) 478

22 lr rifle for a family. You could go single shot to start or a Ruger 10/22 just to learn to shoot. And the later will work for home defense if you need it.
I would say for a new shooter a 20 gauge is a better call for heavy artillery/home defense. A 12 gauge is great of course but it will beat you up when practicing. A 20 gauge with #4 buck is going to be pretty darn effective in the rare case you need it. Posted by: Quint at March 26, 2020 04:51 PM (hHxp2) 480
