Trump promised he'd do something about these damned robocalls. There are many evil scams out there, faking calls claiming to be IRS, claiming to be credit card services, etc. And unfortunately, they try to prey on everyone.

As you can see on the image above, China is pretty much afflicted since most of its provinces have already reported several cases of people infected with the coronavirus... Confused Many cities have been shutdown, some wouldn't even let them drive away... Sad And food is an issue as well. It exists but nobody distributes it or it can't reach its usual destinations...

Right, the economy was expected to plummet if they were in need of expanding the isolation measures across the Hubei province and then the whole country...

RE: News of the World - DerVVulfman - 01-26-2020

Hm. Well, I did a little look at the Wiki link MetalRenard posted about tensions in Iran. I wasn't aware of the 1949 Assassination attempt which prompted the Shah's addition of security which certain individuals didn't like. I don't think many did, and I had to scrounge to get anything about it other than it being a reporter. It turns out that the Ayatollahs were already attempting to destable Iran and were going for power even then! The would-be assassin was Nasser Fakhrara'ei who worked for a newspaper owned by the son-in-law of Ayatollah Kashani. Yep, the Ayatollahs were like that even then, the original destabilizing force, and 4 years before the 1953 Coup previously mentioned.

I don't know how many watched the hearings yesterday, but in less than two hours the House case was criticized for not showing exculpatory evidence, improper procedures that the Supreme court already discussed years before, fabrications. Hell, Schiff kept talking about a White House meeting? Zelensky himself changed the meet to the one in Warsaw on September 1st and they knew it.

Regarding the Schools using Cell phones to track students???

RE: News of the World - Kain Nobel - 01-27-2020

The Syrian civil war is now 8 years old, as of January 26th, which is exactly how long I've been keeping track of it. I don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll put my comments in a spoiler.

Iranians are a joke as soon as they leave their own backyard. The Iranian Quds force is the most malnourished group of soldiers I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on (thanks to heavy pressure from international sanctions.) So long as we keep them isolated in their own country, and we don't have leadership stupid enough to call for invasion, they are only a threat via the use of paid mercenaries.

I've heard of many viral pandemics over the years, enough to come down with a bad case of normalcy bias. However, I can't figure out if the Chinese response is blown way out of proportion or if the disease is truly contagious and deadly enough to justify such a response. Entire cities shut down? 56+ million unable to move between regions? Governments weren't reacting in this fashion when it came to Ebola, SARS, Swine Flu or Zika. Then again, I'm not an epidemiologist and I sure as heck don't want to see anybody I know dying from this nasty virus. Whatever happens in China needs to stay in China and I hope them the best.

Ever hear of "Predictive Programming"? So Comedy Central seems to have made a skit about Kobe Bryant dying in a helicopter crash as depicted in a cartoon. Twitter user @quick17_ has pointed a lot of other things out but I don't know how to directly link his post on here. The best I can do is present this link from Alex Jones.

RE: News of the World - DerVVulfman - 01-28-2020

Well, Kainers posted that "US media conglomerates are experts at telling 1 truth and 4 lies", about Syria. Well, they aren't limited to Syria. Just in time to try and pressure Senators during the Impeachment, the New York Times came out with a story with an anonymous source to try to extend the trial longer than it needs. But here's a spoiler showing the degree of truth the NY Times delivers when it comes to the guy being impeached:

Meat or Vegetables?
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200127-how-a-vegan-diet-could-affect-your-intelligence
It seems eating meat, eggs and dairy products and others isn't as bad as vegans usually want to let us think. Some studies already show signs of its importance, especially for children and pregnant women and even the elderly. O_O So now I don't need to feel ashamed of eating mano de piedra or hamburger meat or eggs or milk. Grinning
