Hal Turner's latest on the coronavirus epidemic in the United States

Without the information that I gleaned from Hal Turner (he really was the first) I would have been unable to reveal what I have learned weeks before it became generally -known and was dismissed as “fake news”

Since then there are lots of people reporting on this and some of what Hal Turner was saying tonight I have already heard and can be gleaned from other sources.

Despite that, he has been about the best communicator on this (along with, in my mind, TruNews) and for that he has my gratitude.

The coronavirus outbreak in 
the US has reached FEMA 
Level One and is predicted to 
last 18 months and to cause 
severe shortages

In today's show Hal Turner revealed that FEMA have put this emergency onto Level 1, which is totally unprecedented.  This never happened, even after 9/11

He also revealed that he was told that this pandemic could be with us for 18 months (see below) and not over by July.  He was also told that contrary to what we are being told young people in their 30's are badly affected (I have seen this elsewhere) and left with bad scarring and permanent damage to the lungs.  This pandemic will have a second round and in that it is young people that suffer multiple organ failure and die quickly.
He revealed that there are RUMOURS (not verified) that martial law is about to be declared in Portland, Oregon.

US virus plan anticipates an 18 month 
pandemic and widespread shortages

WASHINGTON — A federal government plan to combat the coronavirus warned policymakers last week that a pandemic “will last 18 months or longer” and could include “multiple waves,” resulting in widespread shortages that would strain consumers and the nation’s health care system.


The 100-page plan, dated Friday, the same day President Trump declared a national emergency, laid out a grim prognosis for the spread of the virus and outlined a response that would activate agencies across the government and potentially employ special presidential powers to mobilize the private sector.


Among the “additional key federal decisions” listed among the options for Mr. Trump was invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950, a Korean War-era law that authorizes a president to take extraordinary action to force American industry to ramp up production of critical equipment and supplies such as ventilators, respirators and protective gear for health care workers.


“Shortages of products may occur, impacting health care, emergency services, and other elements of critical infrastructure,” the plan warned. “This includes potentially critical shortages of diagnostics, medical supplies (including PPE and pharmaceuticals), and staffing in some locations.” P.P.E. refers to personal protective equipment.


The plan continued: “State and local governments, as well as critical infrastructure and communications channels, will be stressed and potentially less reliable. These stresses may also increase the challenges of getting updated messages and coordinating guidance to these jurisdictions directly.”


The plan, which was unclassified but marked “For Official Use Only // Not For Public Distribution or Release,” was shared with The New York Times as Mr. Trump escalated his efforts to curb the spread of the virus. After weeks of playing down the seriousness of the pandemic, saying it would miraculously disappear, Mr. Trump began shifting to a more sober tone during a news conference on Friday announcing the national emergency.

Much of the plan is bureaucratic in nature, describing coordination among agencies and actions that in some cases have already been taken, like urging schools to close and large events to be canceled. But its discussion of the Defense Production Act came as lawmakers and others urged Mr. Trump to invoke its powers.


“While the administration’s response has so far lacked the urgency this crisis has called for, there are still steps you can take to mitigate the damage,” Senator Bob Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, wrote in a letter to Mr. Trump on Tuesday. “Invoking the powers vested in the DPA will enable the federal government to step up and take the type of aggressive steps needed in this time of uncertainty.”


Another letter sent last week by 57 House Democrats led by Representative Andy Levin of Michigan made similar points: “During World War II, our country adapted to the demands of the time to produce mass quantities of bombers, tanks, and many smaller items needed to save democracy and freedom in the world. We know what the demands of this time are, and we must act now to meet these demands.”


Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island, said that Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper told him on Tuesday that the Pentagon would provide federal health workers with five million respirator masks and 2,000 specialized ventilators. “The American public is on wartime footing in terms of battling the spread of this disease, and the Pentagon has to be part of the effort to help protect the health and safety of the American people,” Mr. Reed said.


But Mr. Trump said on Tuesday that he was not ready to invoke the Defense Production Act. “We’re able to do that if we have to,” he told reporters. “Right now, we haven’t had to, but it’s certainly ready. If I want it, we can do it very quickly. We’ve studied it very closely over two weeks ago, actually. We’ll make that decision pretty quickly if we need it. We hope we don’t need it. It’s a big step.”


Passed in 1950 shortly after American troops went to war defending South Korea against an invasion from North Korea, the Defense Production Act was based on powers used during World War II and authorized the president to require businesses to prioritize and accept contracts necessary for national defense.


Over the years, its scope has been expanded to include domestic preparedness and national emergencies. A president can make direct loans or loan guarantees and purchase commitments, subsidies or other incentives to influence industry to help in times of crisis.

Other key decisions outlined as options for the president include distributing medical supplies and equipment from the Strategic National Stockpile, providing money to states to help them meet demands caused by the coronavirus outbreak and prioritizing the distribution of essential resources to focus on areas most in need.


“The spread and severity of Covid-19 will be difficult to forecast and characterize,” the government plan said. It warned of “significant shortages for government, private sector, and individual U.S. consumers.”

This Week: Medical Collapse, 
Food Shortages, and 
Anarchy, Begin . . .

Hal Turner,
13 March, 2020


The events this week will be so many, and so fast, that things can go downhill really quick. There will be A LOT of fake news, from governments.


We are on the last legs, as a society, and the governments will have their last stand this week, in postponing the panic. It might work, or not, but it will be irrelevant, because they cannot avoid SHTF for long, probably, in many countries, SHTF will start this week anyway.


This week, we can expect things to unfold on two main paths :

• widespread epidemic, with collapsed hospitals and generalized panic.

• full on martial law, before the epidemic is widespread.

Regardless, the panic will start in the Western countries

When this happens, nobody can predict the outcome, short or long term.

What can be predicted, and what I can predict, are the following:


1. In Europe and the U.S., the number of infected people, the REAL NUMBER, is in TENS OF MILLIONS. In other words, the virus reached the point where NOTHING, no matter what, will be able to stop it.


*(Lock-downs are necessary, and even martial law, in order to slow down the contagion. Sadly, the tens of millions ALREADY infected across the U.S. and Europe will simply be too much for the society to cope with, by the end of this month).


**(Governments reacting too late, and too soft. When martial law will come, in Europe and the U.S., will make things worse, not better. This is NOT our 10 years pandemic, that can be dealt with. This is a 100 years pandemic, that will most likely, lead to a societal collapse, in a matter of weeks).


***(As I predicted many weeks ago, the worst case scenario is a widespread global pandemic taking place simultaneously with an economic and financial collapse. This worst case scenario is rapidly becoming the only probable scenario).


2. There will be shortages of food and basic necessities, and these shortages will be felt in a matter of days, in certain countries, and by the end of the months, in most countries.


3. The healthcare systems will collapse this week, in most countries in Europe and the U.S. War-like triage will start this week in Europe, and by the end of next week, in the whole U.S.


4. Power outages will start in April, once SHTF will be full-blown in many, MANY countries across the world.


5. At least ONE country will fall to partial anarchy this week. At least 10 countries will be under martial law this week. Tons of social protests will take place this week, mostly small scale, and containable. But it will be just the start.


6.The peak of the first wave will be reached in May/June, in most countries, but the second wave will start in September/Orctober. Sadly, this peak will be the small one, and if the society will somehow be able not to totally collapse (it will at least partially collapse, the big cities will be virtually no-man's land), it will collapse in November, when the second wave will be the knock-out blow, to a society already on its knees.


7. Medical staffing will suffer big losses in human lives, making things worse each day, every day. The armed forces and the police forces are already affected by the virus, and will be much more affected in the coming weeks, with society losing the last line of defense in front of anarchy and criminality.


8.Some (hopefully) good news. I hope that my numbers are wrong, and the number of already infected people is much lower, making the lock-downs and even martial law drastically slowing down the contagion. If so, WE CAN, as society, go past 3-4 weeks of hardship (2020-type of hardship), and be able to keep things relatively normal.


My advice, for anyone who is reading this : the best thing to do now, is simply to avoid, 100%, ANY TYPE OF CONTACT.


If you still think you need to buy some more extras, do it PROPERLY: best mask you can have, eye protection, gloves, and , if possible, any sort of clothing that can be disinfected outside (even rain coats work).


Prepare for the worst, even if, as we all hope, will not happen. If this thing just fizzles out, at least you will have the knowledge of what to do when the real deal is taking place. Which can happen anytime.


People are scared...but STILL not scared enough. Almost EVERYONE in the European and U.S. cities, is NOT wearing masks, is not wearing gloves, is STILL riding the fucking subway, still going to work.


This is why I am advocating for DICTATORIAL MEASURES, because I know for a fact, that people are STUPID, people still eat the TV shit (just a flu, 80% aren't affected, young people are virtually unaffected) and they ACT like this is nothing, making the contagion (which is already widespread) spread even more, leading to massive shocks for hospitals in a week or so, basically KILLING people, because there is not bed and no free medical staff.


But when facing a pandemic, with a western population that is stupid, with western governments that are STILL propping the fucking economy instead stopping the pandemic, being unable to realize that this is not SARS, or MERS, or Ebola, or other joke, I know that we are lost. God Will-it that lock-downs and martial law will work, because clearly, the governments CANNOT (or WILL NOT) help us.


Get ready.


Things are about to go medieval.
