My Pandemic. A Lock-Down Journal in New Zealand, 2 Weeks in, 2 Weeks to Go (?)

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Today I am not going to write much which is new. I’ll just make some points:

  1. People of New Zealand are extremely happy with their leadership’s handling of the crisis (apparently 84%). The number of new infections has been dropping in the past few days. That’s great news! No doubt!
  2. Overseas, countries hit big by the Covid-19 infections are starting to see slightly lower numbers of deaths and confirmed infections (Spain, Italy, USA). It could be a good trend or it could be just a little bump on the graphic.
  3. China warns of a potential second wave, more deadly. How do they know? How do they know only days after their best results so far? And how do we know the initial figures coming from China were correct, as they don’t add up to any evolution of this disease in other badly affected country? (Yes, there is a common answer to these questions, but I am not even tempted to speculate on it. Just watch the Trump – WHO situation and you’ll realise what’s going on.)

To celebrate the first two weeks of the NZ Lock-down, especially being so glad to see that our PM and her staff have stepped in (later than they could have) and imposed (weak) new measures of quarantine, I just want to share with you my Facebook post from the 22nd of March. Read and wonder! Just go back in time a few weeks ago and more than o thousand cases ago…

<< PROBABLY THE LAST CHANCE FOR NZ TO BEAT THE PANDEMIC – URGENT MEASURES REQUIRED

On the 26th of February 2020 I suggested that New Zealand should close its borders.

The very same day Confirmed Case #1 entered the country. We could have contained this and, with our local energy and food resources, we could have waited in isolation without losing one single life to Covid-19, until a vaccine and/or a cure became available. We are not in the middle of a crowded continent with uncontrollable movements. We are an island nation and in full control of our borders.

Now (March 22nd) we have 66 confirmed cases and the number is increasing every day, as it did in other countries before. Soon, this will grow out of control and the multitude of critical patients will overpower our health system.

It is inadmissible that a double standard was applied: those who initially came from China were placed in controlled quarantine in a military facility, while those who later came from Europe, North America, Australia, cruise ships, etc. were just kindly asked to self-isolate.

Of the 66 KNOWN cases, only 10 are in the South Island, without likely any community contagion there.

There is still time to:

1. Isolate the South Island from the North Island and move the essential structures of power to Christchurch.
2. Introduce Mandatory Quarantine for all known and probable cases.
3. Reorganise this shambolic national pandemic response by urgently supporting the medical staff with ventilators, masks, protection suits, test kits, etc. – as many as it is possible made in NZ.
4. Use empty hotels as quarantine facilities and redundant tour buses as mobile testing/lab facilities.
5. Introduce measures to prevent anarchy and put in place tough immediate penalties for those who attempt to take advantage of the situation.
6. Support our weak, sick, elderly and vulnerable with medication, food, constant check-ups, free house heating appliances installation – use people who are being made redundant to create a temporary task force.
7. Activate the Navy and Army Reserves to decisively help with critical pandemic hot spots and public order.
8. Move to an electronic vote system, so the General Elections could be held in time with no threat to public health or to our democracy.
9. Reactivate doctors and nurses recently retired and allow international health professionals currently in the country but without NZ registration to join the fight against Covid-19 to the best of their abilities and experience.
10. Lock down any community with above average rate of infection, on case by case bases, for at least 14 days.

Please share this so maybe it gets to the authorities and they might act decisively. Thank you. >>

Does this ring a bell?

ALGONAISSANCE – New Word & Concept – 1st Time Published Here

Saturday, January 7th, 2017

ALGONAISSANCE = a subtle yet revolutionary move by which artificial intelligence takes over human intelligence, a move initiated by humans but not necessarily for the good of the human species

This is the new (and somewhat opposite) version of Renaissance and it describes a fundamental change in humanity, as computer algorithms take over the mankind. The new noun is based on the Old Greek “Algos” + the French “Naissance”.

More details later on. For the moment, consider this post as the (informal but very true and singular) registration of the “patent” for what this new concept/word means.

Timeline: 2017 – The birth of an era where humans relinquish control over their individuality and became controlled by the very digital tools mankind created.

Remember: ALGONAISSANCE was first published online on January 07, 2017 by the administrator of mockobog.com.

Thank you!

What Did in Fact Happen to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Sunday, March 9th, 2014

The strange ‘behaviour’ of the missing jet liner suggests yet another alien abduction / UFO encounter. How can a football field sized aircraft with 250 souls on board, loaded with the latest technology, disappear in a blink of an eye, sending no ‘Mayday’ and leaving no traces?

We consider two plausible explanations:

A. HIJACK AND LOW ALTITUDE FLIGHT TO A HIDDEN RUNWAY

B. ‘BERMUDA TRIANGLE’ TYPE OF ALIEN INTERVENTION

This is a brief analysis of the two scenarios:

A. Men and/or women with stolen passports, using an accomplice at the booking agency and another at the departure border in Kuala Lumpur, possibly even another within the airline’s staff, even one of the crew, boarded the flight illegally. When they think that the flight is out of the Malaysian air space (most of the ascent having been over land), they take over, direct the pilots to descend abruptly and change course back to land. At that moment the 777 had at least 7 hours worth of fuel to be used mainly on cruising high. We may assume the fuel would have lasted about two hours on flying at the sea level. It is early morning, low visibility and a plane can fly in good weather for hundreds of miles under the radar. An organized team of hijackers are directing the plane to an unknown destination, surely on land, where the aircraft can be hidden and/or ditched but the passengers can be used as leverage. There are plenty of countries with a multitude of believes in the area. We estimate that, after some fuel ditching into the sea, the destination would have been at a maximum distance of one hour and a half from the lost contact point. Who has a mile + long runway build into the rain forest for a single landing? Why are we not receiving any terrorist demands? Why don’t spy satellites come up with some pictures?

B. The aliens show up from another dimension/vibration level. The pilots try to change course, but their 777 is no match for the UFO’s capacity to block all communications, then all is suddenly happening elsewhere and the door we used to use is no more.

Judge for yourselves and pray for the passengers. Why do you think.. you think about this ‘crash’? The more time passes without any clue, the more viable the alien theory appears to be.

Of course, some wreckage will have to be produced to avoid public questions.

A Different Perspective on the ‘News of the World’ Phone Hacking Scandal

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

This is something everybody seems to agree upon: the evil Murdoch Media Empire played dirty and must now pay the price. This article doesn’t intend in any way to condone the use of bribe, beach of privacy, or support any moral assault on people who are already victims. Yet there is another story behind this story and most media outlets seem to ignore it.

Media and Power, Power and Media

More or less controlled by (and not necessarily 100% obedient to) commercial interests, in the free world Media is one of the few ways people can have access to what’s happening behind the closed doors of the various structures of Power. In some cases, journalists use non-orthodox methods to gather information. This information creates the modern panem et circenses. Bred for the journalists themselves and their bosses, yes, but also circus, fun, entertainment and, last but not least, knowledge for the masses.

Partnership between media and financial and/or political interests is common. Many politicians have been on the other side of the pen, microphone or camera not long before becoming who they are now. Normally, politicians and journalists don’t cut each other’s throats. Even less common is for a journalist to attack another.

Surely, there are many other dirty stories of dubious methods used by the media, yet they don’t usually surface. What makes this one special? It’s the timing.

Poor old Rupert looked like a granddad not yet out of his pajamas when the postman called in with the news and it took him days to realize what was actually happening. This proves he had no clue, which, in turn, proves there had been thorough planning into this. If the most powerful media magnate couldn’t get a hint of what was going to come, the information leak had to be sourced inside  circles that not even the many sources of the Murdoch Empire had any access to. This kind of information doesn’t just leak. If it leaks,it stops before hitting the front page.

So timing: why release this bombshell in July 2011, years after the hacking had taken place? The answer is, at a superficial level at least, obvious: the deal over BSkyB had to be prevented at any cost.

Sky TV

Who Is to Benefit?

Just ponder: if BSkyB doesn’t change hands, who is to benefit? Not only economically, but politically. Who so desperately needs the status qvo in British Media? Who’s hiding behind the smoke screen?
