Horrible Governor: New York Governor Cuomo has ordered Covid-19 patients transferred to NURSING HOMES, of all places! After arriving, the nursing homes turned into Covid-19 "hotbeds" of death.
nypost.com...
Gov. Cuomo doubled down Sunday on the state’s controversial directive ordering nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients.
The governor — who himself has described nursing homes as a “feeding frenzy’’ for the deadly coronavirus — said that the facilities can’t challenge a state regulation forcing them to admit patients with the contagion.
Meanwhile the newly constructed Javis Center, and the USNS Navy ship Comfort, sit mostly empty.

That can't be true, because President Trump even ramped up the production of ventilators. If ventilators were contributing to death, wouldn't he be told by his Covid-19 White House team? Or he'd investigate the social media claims from medical personnel? They've been saying this for the past 3 weeks, at least.
Raise a glass to the end of it all
Who's to blame when it's everyone's fault?
And we celebrate our way through dangerous times
Strange days are comin' for us
Say goodbye to the way that it was
And we celebrate our way through dangerous times
I'm livin' in the strange days
I'm livin' in a world that I don't know
Get ready for the dark age
I'm livin' in the strange days so
Say goodbye to the silence
We can dance to the sirens
Strange days here we go

The first thing I noticed when I clicked on the 'Star Wars Commander' link is this:

Then I noticed the url name: www.starwarscommander.com...
Why is this relevant? Or, is it?

This game was started in Jan 2015. Could it have been a honeypot, of sorts, from the beginning? Agents suggest use of internal comms, black hats try it out and it seems to work. Other comms interdicted but these are allowed to progress unimpeded, giving the illusion of security. Anything really bad is discovered 'obviousy' some other way and lower level stuff goes through unimpeded so comms aren't suspected.
[Think about Bletchley Park cracking the German codes knowing where the milch cow was resupplying a U Boat. A patrol plane would be seen in the distance followed by an attack aircraft before the transfer of fuel, ammunition, and food could be completed. The U Boat would report the patrol plane to HQ so if the sub was sunk, the patrol plane spotted it and gave the location.]
If the above is true and the game was a setup for comms, shutting it down now means that action is imminent. We don't care if they know it was a setup, it's all over and too late to do anything now.
Will this precipitate 'suicide weekend' when the black hats realize that their secret comms were being read in real time? Their final hopes of victory in the bottom of the ninth inning are gone and now there is only escape. Escape by flipping. Escape by running. Escape by suicide.
