that is only 1 narrative. The liberal/media narrative is whatever China says is true. This same team also usually supports Iranian state narrative

The Wuhanic Plague plot thickens yet again, today... which is really bad news. Once China allowed the viral genome to be published... and it was independently verified... it became clear that there were four insertions of exotic protein sequences altering the virus's surface proteins... I'd noted the odds of that being "naturally occurring" were roughly the same as the odds of succeeding in walking to the moon this weekend. One of those mods was readily identifiable... as the signature of common modification tools... leaving three others... two of which were "identified as similar to..." specific things... and one which wasn't. I was tracking the events in the work being done in this post in late February... to which I linked this article: Scientists Discover HIV-Like "Mutation" Which Makes Coronavirus Extremely Infectious But, of course... there were FOUR insertions... I posted about that later, somewhere, can't find it now... noting that one was a known, and "one down" left "two to go"... But it was also already clear that one was an HIV derivative sequence... and one apparently was a malaria-related protein... Still, I was complaining that I'd not seen any additional followup... no solid work describing them... even suggesting, given the trail left to follow, that a survey done of other spirochete proteins wouldn't be wasted effort... ? Well, that might finally have been resolved today as far as "one more"... unless this is "more detailed information about the function of one of those we already knew about" ? Relevant part starts 9:00 in... NEW RESEARCH: Coronavirus Has A Second Route For Attack !!!

My understanding is the world still knows less about the CoViD19 than it does any flu bug, and given that the numbers all around the planet are no better than the next revision, be it infection, cure, mortality rates or anything else, otoh, and otoh I thought I had read something about Team USA intelligence services warning of the details of Wuhan story at the get-go, and so cannot understand (1) what do folks expect Team China knows how many days before the world knew or ought to have known, or wanted to know that Team China knew at some level above any hospital treating a bad flu during the flu season (2) what did the world proceed to do at the get-go once it did know whatever it wanted to know The script played out is a matter of media record, I believe, and the time markers are pretty tight With a few unanswered questions due to whatever reasons and no doubt shall be discovered by the scientists So still prefer to leave it all to science However, going forward, it is unclear to me that any vaccine would work well enough, and am not optimistic that any geewhizbang cure at the get-go is a go-to, simply because everything might have been hyped, and if so, have no reason to believe that countering medicines are immune from hype. Would not want to find out after injection that the counter is worse than the virus. I find the entire episode from the get-go suspicious, hurried, have much false info in the thread, and therefore hype-d. We might be bum-rushed towards a lot of destinations not good for us.

On the third hand, re <<gold FNV DRD>> The question already asked on the thread was what of the future of DRD. My buddy the higher up in bulge-bracket outfit asked a related question, "with gold at 2,000, what should be the value of DRD?". He is the one who got his clients out 17th January, and he has much grateful clients. Both of us subscribe to Martin Armstrong, except his subscription ranking is considerably higher than my pay grade. Another fellow traveller asked a question, "why the performance discrepancy between RGLD and FNV?" Have asked for guidance re the difference in holdings between FNV and RGLD, in terms geographic locations (USD vs non-USD cost), and the types of large holders of the stocks. re DRD, a dig into the details of content of the two tailings ponds, and investment needs for near term production. Do not know how readily available from public / imputable info. My fear? We may not have enough DRD. In the meantime, Marty has the following near term guidance, ask-socrates.com Gold Into New Highs On March 31 we warned that technical support for the 2nd quarter would be 1617 and resistance at 1907. The major overhead resistance stands at 1755 followed by 1790. Our models have been warning that we should see a 2nd quarter high which implies a decline into year-end. May remains as a key target, but a drop from an April high would imply a May low, with a rally into a seasonal high in June. We warned that the ideal target week would be April 20th. The key days this week were the 13th and then Thursday is today's high is exceeded. Europe is really in desperate shape. The speculation is that the EU is trying to break Germany to accept Coronabonds and a generalized debt for Europe. We are seeing signs in Germany that they realize their economy is collapsing. They are now starting to try to argue that the lockdown will only apply to the elderly until yearend. Gold has been pressing high on deep concerns that Brussels is not merely trying to break the will of Germany, but they realize the countless bankruptcies they are inflicting will leave unemployment at record highs. The rumor circulating is they are deliberately trying to implode the economy to force Universal Basic Income and create a permanent welfare state and then they will simply print money rather than borrow once the break the will of Germany.
