Hi to all,

We hope you all have had a great Christmas - albeit somewhat different from previous years. We make the usual disclaimer regarding the following Worldometre figures. The comparative figures in brackets relate to the 21st. August - 140 days ago.

MUNDO - World

Total cases - 80,012,892 - (21,168,111) - up 58,844,781 or 278.0%

Deaths - 1,753,955 - 2.2% (759,328 - 3.6%) - up 994,627 or 131.0%

Recoveries - 56,344,512 - 70.4% (13,984,843 - 66.1%) - up 42,359,664 or 302.9%

Therefore active cases - 21,914,425 - 27.4% - (6,425,939 - 30.3%) - up 15,488,486 or 241.0%. Of the total population of 7,834,515,067 (7,804,380,455), the percentage of active cases is 0.280% (0.082%) of the world population.

Total active cases per 1 million of total population - 2,797 - (1,437).

Compared to last week, active cases are up 1,143,731 or 5.5%

The numbers are all going the wrong way.

ESTADOS UNIDOS - United States

Total cases - 19,141,356 - (5,429,115) - up 13,712,241 or 252.6%

Deaths - 337,399 - 1.8% (170,781 - 3.2%) - up 166,618 or 97.6%

Recoveries - 11,219,489 - 58.6% (2,844,535 - 52.4%) - up 8,374,954 or 294.4%

Therefore active cases - 7,584,468 - 39.6% (2,413,829 - 44.6%) - up 5,170,639 or 214.2%. Of the total population of 331,939,197 (331,236,184), the percentage of active cases is 2.285% (0.729%) of the total population.

Total active cases per 1 million of total population - 22,849 - (9,043).

Compared to last week the comparative figures are:

Total cases up 1,512,778 or 8.6%

Deaths up 19,470 or 6.1%

Recoveries up 924,515 or 9.0%

Active cases up 568,793 or 8.1%

Numbers continue to rise but perhaps a glimmer of hope is that over the past week, total cases and active cases have increased by a lesser amount than the week before. And of course the vaccines - they could be very effective, or they may not. Time alone will tell. But one has to commend the Trump Administration in rolling out the vaccines in record time - way ahead of any previous fake news "prediction".

The electoral saga rolls on. We won't go into all the issues that we've commented on in the past, except - 

Abraham Lincoln who emancipated the slaves and led America through a debilitating Civil War, once said: "if America is to be defeated, it will be from within". And this is exactly what is happening today with the Democrats trying to sneak into power by massive lying and cheating. This simply cannot be allowed to stand, otherwise the US will be no better than many banana republics around the world and Lincoln's prophecy will come true.

The 1887 Electoral Count Act which gives ability to Congress to overturn Electoral College votes, is gaining supporters all the time from the House and from the Senate. It has the potential to turn the whole election on its head - particularly as more and more egregious and numerically significant examples of criminal election fraud come to light. All we can say is - WATCH THIS SPACE on Jan. 6th. It will depend to a large extent on who wins the Georgia Senate run-offs the day before.

And a snippet we heard the other day - Zoom is owned by the Chinese and has the ability to detect anti-China comments from participants in Zoom conversations and shut down such conversations within 1 minute. This is another example of how far American culture and life has been infiltrated by the Communist Party of China. 

The Chinese Communist Party's tentacles in the US just get longer and longer. This is yet another example of attack from "within". Elaine Chao is Mitch McConnell's wife (married in 1993) and he is the Republican Senate Majority Leader. She was born in Taiwan and the family immigrated to the US when she was 8. Her father founded the Foremost Group in New York - a shipping company. He had ties to the top echelons of the Communist Party of China and his daughter now runs the family business. And Foremost is the top political donor to the GOP in Kentucky (McConnell's state). Just the other day McConnell was urging GOP Senators not to support Trump in his fight through the Electoral Count Act on Jan 6th. This is frightening and scary beyond belief. Who can trust anyone any more? Trump has got his hands full, and some. He MUST win. 

The above is just one example of attacks on Trump from former trusted associates from within the GOP. And including some top "aides" in the White House. The worst is the stonewalling the Trump Campaign has received from the entire US legal system, which surely is there to be the ultimate protector of justice. What a sick joke. The latest is Trump's last appeal to the Supreme Court to hear arguments on egregious electoral fraud in Pennsylvania. In spite of the obvious urgency for a hearing, the SC has declined to hear the case with urgency, which means that the case will not now be heard until after both Houses of Congress have met on Jan. 6th. to certify or de-certify Electoral College votes for each state. Many states are moving to de-certify the existing slates of votes and it is entirely possible that with the feeling running as high as it is, Congress and the Senate will uphold this decertification. Mainly on the basis that many states changed all sorts of electoral rules in direct violation of their own constitutions. This is one of the key issues that state courts and the Supreme Court have ignored or thrown out on spurious grounds such as bringing actions too late, or without "standing" as in the case of the Texas (and others) lawsuit. If decertification is upheld, Congress would select a temporary president pending a new election and if this scenario ensues without the massive fraud that characterised the Nov. 3rd. election, Trump would win again in the landslide that he actually earned in early November, only to see it overturned by the most massive and egregious fraud ever experienced in the US's 240 years of electoral history.  

Frankly, the Supreme Court is rapidly rendering itself irrelevant by its cowardly lack of positive action, so If it cannot be relied on to hand down any sort of a ruling, and  electoral justice cannot be achieved by either of these means (Supreme Court rulings or action by Congress under the Electoral Count Act), there is still the option of Martial Law under the 1807 Insurrection Act to prevent the United States from degenerating into a banana republic.

The 1807 Insurrection Act empowers the President of the United States to deploy US Military and federalised National Guard troops in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil  disorder, insurrection and rebellion. It allows a president to address an insurrection, domestic violence, or unlawful combinations of these, OR CONSPIRACY in any state which results in the deprivation of constitutionally secured rights and where the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect said rights. This latter obviously would cover electoral fraud where it was aided and abetted by states' unlawful and unconstitutional actions.  

The 1807 Act had been modified twice. In 1861, a new section was added allowing the Federal Government to use the National Guard and armed forces against the will of the state government in the case of "rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States", in anticipation of continued unrest after the Civil War. In 1871 the Third Enforcement Act revised this section to protect black Americans from attacks by the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK was of course an extension of the Democrat Party at the time. The language added at that time allows the Federal Government to use the act to enforce the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th. Amendment to the United States Constitution. This section of the Act was invoked during the Reconstruction era, and again during desegregation fights during the Civil Rights Era.

If for any reason this is not an option, then Secession from the Union of all the "red" states is another possibility. States which would almost certainly be likely to secede are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. This totals 32 out of 50 - 64%. Some of these states may not secede, or may secede later, but there is no doubt that there are sufficient feelings against any attempted fraudulent illegality of an illegitimate Biden presidency for such a scenario to develop. 

However, the Insurrection Act is probably the better alternative as a Biden presidency would no doubt use the Act against any secessionist states in the event of a Secession.. 

These options may be considered implausibly extreme, but with the appalling alternative of a Biden/Harris presidency, we believe that there would be sufficient momentum for both to be seriously considered.

These are last ditch efforts to save the Republic - and, as we have said many times before - by extension every citizen of the Free World. 

COLOMBIA

Total cases - 1,559,766 - (433,805) - up 1,125,961 or 259.6%

Deaths - 41,454 - 2.7% -  (14,145 - 3.3%) - up 27,309 or 193.1%

Recoveries - 1,417,316 - 90.8% - (250,494 - 57.7%) - up 1,166,822 or 465.8%

Therefore active cases - 100,966 - 6.5% - (169,196 - 39.0%) - down 68,230 or 40.3%. Of the total population of 51,143,594 (50,948,628), the percentage of active cases is 0.197% (0.332%) of the total population.

Total active cases per 1 million of total population - 1,974 - (1,367).

Active cases since last week are up 15,777 or 18.5%

Following are this week's headlines from www.colombiareports.com: 

Dec. 19th. WHO confirms Colombia's February COVID vaccines as infections reach record high

Dec. 21st. Homicides in Colombia reach historic low amid pandemic

Dec. 20th. Colombia's countercultures: Bogota's rock and roll gangs

Dec. 21st. Colombia suspends UK flights amid COVID surge

Dec. 21st. Colombia reinstates COVID restrictions during holidays

Dec. 22nd. Former Uribe aid remains silent in Colombia's 2018 election fraud probe

Dec. 23rd. Colombia's police purged in midst of corruption and abuse crisis

There is belated panic about rising active case numbers - if you can believe them. We now have a new version of Pico y Cedula where in supermarkets and malls you can only shop on even days if your ID ends in even numbers and vice versa for odd numbers. But we both went shopping  and no-one was checking anything - even temperatures!! And there's a curfew in place from 8 pm to 6 am just on the statutory days - Christmas and New Year. But the active case figures have varied so wildly week to week, that it's hard to give them or anything else much credibility.

The figure today (28/12) has reduced again to 96,000 from Friday's figure of 101,000 which is a big reduction in just 4 days. We hope that this new trend is in fact true and will herald a better direction for the country.  

We have also heard an unverified fact that unemployment has now been reduced by 80% from levels reached at the height of the pandemic. That is extremely good news in a country where the inequality gap is huge in any case and which is without any form of unemployment benefit. But a bigger problem for Colombia is the huge number of Venezuelans here - with most living on the edge of starvation. Fascinating that both Chavez and later Maduro, were fraudulently elected by the same Dominion counting machines as have been used now in 30 US states, including the 4 battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin. Venezuela must be viewed as a serious example of the results of rampant electoral corruption in order to elect illegitimate socialist/communist candidates. In fact these Dominion vote counting machines were originally developed in Venezuela for use there and ultimately for use in the US. We are seeing the results right now.

Christmas will be a muted affair this year as we suspect it will be for many people. For us really, we just want the year done and dusted and to look forward to the re-election of Donald Trump after the proper exposure of his opponents' electoral criminality.

We had our neighbour, Janet, for a late lunch of turkey legs, gratinated potato and peas plus other trimmings. European style, on Dec. 24th. Jean was very proud of her idea for Cranberry Sauce made from local berries and blueberries. tasted just like Cranberry!

There are some self-explanatory photos of this happy event appearing at the end of this blog.

 

AUSTRALIA

Total cases - 28,273 - (23,035) - up 5,238 or 22.7%

Deaths - 908 - 3.2% - (370 - 1.7%) - up 538 or 145.4%

Recoveries - 25,722 - 91.0% - (13,634 - 59.2%) - up 12,088 or 88.7%

Therefore active cases - 1,643 - 5.8% - (9,022 - 39.2%) - down 7,379 or 81.8%. Of the total population of 25,641,999 (25,536,804), the total percentage of active cases is 0.006% (0.035%) of the total population.

Total active cases per 1 million of total population - 64  - (56).

Compared to last week active cases are up 157 or 10.6%.

Active cases have spiked up somewhat due to an outbreak of cases in Sydney's Northern Beaches.

We see that China is continuing to "punish" Australia for having the guts to speak out about researching the origins of the Chinese Virus. The latest is raw wood (logs). China is of course in a dire financial situation itself, and maybe they are using all this as a spurious excuse to reduce their expenditure on imports.

NUEVA ZELANDA - New Zealand

Total cases - 2,128 - (1,714) - up 414 or 24.2%

Deaths - 25 - 1.2% - (25 - 1.4%) - no change

Recoveries - 2,054 - 96.5% - (1,531 - 95.6%) - up 523 or 34.2%

Therefore active cases - 49 - 2.3% - (49 - 3.0%) - no change. Of the total population of 5,002,100 (5,002,100), the percentage of active cases is 0.001 % - (0.001%) of the total population.

Total active cases per 1 million of total population - 10 - (14).

Compared to last week active cases are down 2 or 3.9%

And another snippet - there are hundreds of Chinese fishing boats fresh from destroying what was left of SE Asia's fish resources headed NZ's way via Australia where they are likely to be given short shrift. So, they'll come on to NZ to pillage NZ's marine reserves just as they tried to do in the UNESCO world heritage site - the Galapagos. Until the US Coastguard chased them further south where the Peruvian Navy sank a few.

So, how will that play out - the Chinese Ambassador summoning the NZ Prime Minister or NZ's Foriegn Minister (her with the Moko) summoning the Chinese Ambassador? We wouldn't put money on it.

The Chinese reduction of imports won't help NZ either. Of all that NZ exports to China, only milk powder could be said to be in any way essential in China's straightened circumstances. Things like seafood, meat, Kiwifruit and baby formula could find themselves severely curtailed.

However, we have seen the news that the UK has now reached a "deal" with the EU with which they will leave the EU in 4 days time. Unfortunately the agreement seems likely to have largely sold out the British fishing industry which will allow EU boats to continue raping and pillaging British waters for another 5 years, albeit on a reducing basis. We have suggested on a couple of Youtube sites that the British fishermen should sail for the River Thames and anchor their boats opposite Parliament at Westminster and completely block the waterway until Boris caves and Britain leaves the EU on WTO terms, which is what was voted for way back in 2016. But this new "deal" is contained in a document that is in excess of 2,000 pages. British MP's are expected to read and understand it and vote on it by the 30th. This is typical of those who simply want to quickly ram questionable legislation through in an effort to minimise any criticism. The Parliament should refuse to vote, except provisionally so that the legislation can be ratified (or not) after sufficient time has elapsed in the New Year. The EU won't be voting until later in january and they must obtain the unanimous agreement of all remaining 27 countries. Will that be forthcoming?

Anyway, hopefully it will be possible for NZ to supplement any reduction in trade with China with a new trade agreement with the UK where there will be a restart of trade which was severely restricted back in 1973 when Britain joined the then European Economic Community. With any luck we will start to see a substantial re-set of trade away from the dogmatic ideological concept of Globalism at any cost. Conservatism must triumph over Socialism.

Well, that's it from us for another week. We hope everyone had a good Christmas and that 2021 is much better than the year about to end. However, it will have its challenges - that's for sure.
