War on Drugs AND Corona Virus, or Something Else?

a reply to: nugget1

Domestic Terrorist CNN covered 0% of the White House Briefing Today.

After the first 4 minutes, MSNBC cut away with angry co-anchors complaining that Trump would start off a Covid-19 briefing describing how 70,000 Americans die from Illegal drugs every year and a ramp-up in effort to stop the trafficking.

FoxNews - Coverage Start to Finish (About 1hr30min)

Did you notice he mentioned terrorists?a reply to: Daughter2

I did. I think that's what got me wondering what else this could be about.

That really fried my better half! It's gone far beyond media bias- it's now media control.

Hmmmm, maybe putting our pieces in place before the war with China????

By devoting 3 hours a day with no commercials for the CUOMO and the TRUMP briefings, Fox/CNN/MSNBC take a slight revenue hit.

Apparently CNN and MSNBC chose one over the other. The winner = CUOMO... the guy who is largely responsible for the New York deaths now occurring.

Distraction from what?

His failures.

How much power does one man have that he's able to get all the military leaders to go along with his 'BS distraction"?

He's commander in chief.

What failures are those?
The only real failures were the attempts by the Dems to remove him from office.

LOL...dims really light you up, don't they! Trying viewing their insults as evidence that President Trump is on the right track. They spewed the same hate in 2016, and look what happened.

Sometimes they do but I was asking a legitimate question.
What failures?
Notice there was no response.

He is going to have the US military take on the Cartels.

They will soon be cut off by land, air, and sea.

a reply to: infolurker

Maybe they are expecting serious retaliation, and that's where the heightened sense of tension came from. I don't know much about South American armies, or who backs them, but I got a 'Bay of Pigs' feeling. ( Yes, I'm old enough to remember...

)

It's a distraction against their failed COvid response, early on.

The MO of this administration is to change the public narrative/chase the newest shiny thing. It's what they have always done.

And as things get worse, they attempt to shift the narrative.

You need to get a new anti-Trump story, bro. You keep spouting the same old tired and used up cover-up theme and it's just dumb. Try looking past your hatred of the president and look at what's going on around us. Real people are dying real deaths from real pneumonia in real hospitals and the real cause is a virus that China neglected to tell people about when it would have been controllable.

Honestly dude, you really should try the truth once in a while.

As I watch the military officials speak, my instincts were telling me this is a cover story to placate the masses. All of the speakers just seemed a little too tense, and I find myself wondering what might be going on behind the scenes.

The entire thing was a show. An act. You could tell it from the way they acted. Just a bunch of fake tough guy rhetoric.

I also wonder what the real story is.

Clearly Venezuelan "leader", Nicolas Maduro, is public enemy number 1, this plan announced today just ahead of the corona task force update showed how we are circling and squeezing Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro's is the target, in my opinion.

Also, AG Barr did stipulate in his prior statement, where he first announced issuing the warrant for Nicolas Maduro at the corona task force update, that this warrant is not unprecedented because we do not acknowledge Nicolas Maduro being the president of Venezuela just as we did not recognize Noriega as the president of Panama.
A sure sign, to me anyway, that we are going after him hard.
thehill.com...

"We do not recognize Maduro as the president of Venezuela. Obviously we indicted Noriega under similar circumstances, we did not recognize Noriega as the president of Panama," said Barr.

Threatening to sell the world's top oil reserves in the Chinese yuan over the last couple of years is the reason.
The concern is also if we do not stop Nicolas Maduro and if he was successful other nations may follow.
This is a national security issue our top allies are on board, I am looking forward to seeing this unfold.

Venezuela published the price of its oil and fuel in Chinese currency on Friday in what it called an effort to free the socialist-run country from the “tyranny of the dollar,” echoing a plan recently announced by President Nicolas Maduro.

At the scheduled Wednesday coronavirus briefing, President Donald Trump and other officials in his administration opened by addressing a seemingly unrelated topic: a new campaign against drug cartels.

They said traffickers planned to take advantage of the global COVID-19 crisis.

“As governments and nations focus on the coronavirus, there’s a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain,” Trump said. “We must not let that happen.”
It was prompted by intelligence indicating drug cartels “were going to try to take advantage of the situation and try to infiltrate additional drugs into our country,” said Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“We are at war with COVID-19, we are at war with terrorists, and we are war with the drug cartels,” Milley said. “You will not penetrate this country.”

The mission involves sending additional Navy warships, surveillance aircraft and special forces teams to nearly double the U.S. counter-narcotics capacity in the Western Hemisphere, with forces operating both in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. Esper said the mission would be supported by 22 partner nations.

“As governments and nations focus on the coronavirus there is a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain,” said Trump. "We must not let that happen."

As I watch the military officials speak, my instincts were telling me this is a cover story to placate the masses. All of the speakers just seemed a little too tense, and I find myself wondering what might be going on behind the scenes.
Maybe I've been reading too much doom porn lately, or maybe like so many others I sense something much deeper and darker lurking behind public knowledge.

Any ideas? Business as usual, or unusual threat?

To get ahead of the issue and address it at the onset. As far as Covid is concerned:

He failed, and this is damage control.

Warnings Ignored: A Timeline of Trump’s COVID-19 Response

He's a conman and a liar.

From 15 infected will be soon down to zero, to I'm cool with 100k dead, cause that's MAGA winning, and you fell for it.

a reply to: HalWesten

Real people are dying real deaths

No #. Which has nothing to do with this "war on drugs" farce we saw today.

Which is why it's a BS distraction that many of you apparently fell for.

Hence the narrative shift. The shiny coin over there.

His MO.

Pretty obvious

a reply to: Liquesence

I watched it live.

It's theater. Show.

For ratings.

Where were the Doctors?

You obviously didn't watch it very long. After the first group left the stage, the coronavirus task force (the doctors) replaced them.

a reply to: elDooberino

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ripped President Trump’s expanded travel ban after he included six other countries to the list of those that will face increased travel restrictions.

“The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,” Pelosi said in a statement.thehill.com...

Biden claimed Trump was doing too much, before changing his mind to say he wasn't doing enough.
Trump was called a racist and xenophobe for flight restrictions on January 31, 2020.

He's a horrible public speaker- the worst I've ever known- and his lame attempts at trying to keep the country calm were an utter failure. If he had given a 'no hope' message he would have been equally as flogged for that.

I really worry about our country, but if it gets too much I just remind myself it could have been hillary at the helm, and I feel a lot better.

I would think if something was going on behind the scenes president Trump would not have brought the Military's top brass and AG Barr to a world wide audience, they would be left behind the scenes.
This is the second time Barr has been at the corona task force update, the first time was to announce that a warrant has been issued for Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan "leader" and now a week later the second time AG Barr was at the corona virus task force update the military is shown to be surrounding Venezuela.

These press updates with the corona task force are watched around the world, this is a clear message to leaders of other countries to take a look and see what happens when you challenge the USA's reserve currency status.

Since you are being allowed to hijack this thread with your repulsive #resist propaganda and lies, lets address your biased timeline which is missing some important events.

JAN 17: First CDC media briefing on novel coronavirus. CDC implements entry screening at three U.S. airports for passengers traveling from Wuhan.

JAN 21: CDC reports first travel-related case in U.S. confirmed in Washington state. CDC notifies press that screening has increased to five airports.

JAN 24: CDC reports second travel-related case in U.S. confirmed in Illinois.

JAN 26: Several members of the government, doctors, and experts are appointed to the White House Coronavirus Task Force

JAN 29: The White House Coronavirus Task Force is officially established. President Trump announces formation of White House Coronavirus Task Force that began meeting January 27, led by HHS Secretary Azar and coordinated through National Security Council; statement also asserts that National Biodefense Strategy, signed in 2018, will accelerate response.

JAN 30: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

FEB 2: Trump announces closing the border from China. Then came the backlash from democrats calling him a racist xenophobe.

FEB 4: During the State of the Union Address Trump said:

Protecting American's health also means fighting infections diseases. We are coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My administration will take all necessary steps to safe guard our citizens from this threat.

vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca...

What was your clown leader Pelosi doing while he said this? Shuffling papers and planning to rip up the State of the Union speech at the end...

FEB 7: US sends supplies to China to help mitigate the pandemic where it started. nypost.com...

FEB 24: Nancy Pelosi encourages people to "come to Chinatown" in a staged press event.

MAR 3: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.

Sorry who failed here? Pelosi and the dems? Lets not forget most of this happened while Trump was being impeached for a HOAX.

Thank you for that information and timeline.
