"Played like a fiddle" whilst America 'burns'. Is Mr Trump the new Nero?

“Nero fiddles while Rome burns”

The legend of the Roman Emperor, Nero, 'playing the fiddle whilst Rome burned', has survived for nearly two thousand years. Needless to say, it did his reputation no favours, but in a sense merely confirmed what was already a commonly held opinion of him.  Becoming the autocratic ruler of the most extensive empire the world had known at only 16 in AD 54, he has gone down in history as the epitome of human failing - the corruption of power and the power of corruption.


The victims of Nero's psychopathy allegedly included two wives, his mother, and his aunt; his perverted desires demonstrated by marrying two men and sleeping with his mother and a Vestal Virgin (at least!). But even more notoriously he is supposed to have set fire to Rome and played the fiddle while the city burned, then blaming it all on the Christians in order to deflect attention from himself.  Whether true or not, and many historians now dispute his colourful reputation, in today's 'BAME', 'LGBT', rioting world, he might even attract the sympathy and defence of many.
Some may see certain parallels in the current controversy surrounding the leader of today's most powerful nation, Donald Trump; more specifically the claim by his former National Security Adviser, John Bolton - 'sacked' or 'resigned' depending on which account you believe - that the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, "plays him like a fiddle." This in the wider context of Trump's alleged nonchalance in the face of plague and civil unrest, which he largely blames not on Christians but the Chinese.
The war of words and reputations arises from the book, The Room Where it Happened,  John Bolton's account of his 17 months  in the White House from 2018 to 2019, that is deeply critical of the President. In addition to the headline, he makes the damning assessment that, "I don't think he (Trump) is fit for office. I don't think he has the competence to carry out the job." In support of this opinion he cites Trump's alleged approval of Chinese oppression of the Muslim minority Uighurs, to gain trade deals; thinking Finland was a part of Russia; and not knowing Britain was a nuclear power. He paints a picture of complete confusion in the Oval Office and the President only interested in his popularity ratings and getting re elected. 
Of course Trump rejects all of this, now describing his erstwhile National Security Adviser as, "A washed-up guy. I gave him a chance ... and I wasn't very enamoured." In the Wall Street Journal he added, "He is a liar. Everybody in the White House hated John Bolton ... personally I thought he was crazy." Then in tweets he added, "Wacko John Bolton exceedingly tedious book is made up of lies and fake stories. Said all good about me until the day I fired him. A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracised and happily dumped. What a dope!" (As quoted by the London Times. 19.6.2020)

Whichever assessment is correct, the controversy will do no harm to future book sales, for which Bolton was reputed to have received at least $2 million. Apparently the government is attempting to prevent publication on the grounds of national security and confidentiality which on the face of it appears to contradict the line that it is "all lies". Whether this ploy works remains to be seen (It didn't. The Supreme Court rejected the application) but if similar attempts by the British Government in 1987 to prevent Peter Wright's Spy Catcher from entering the public domain are anything to go by, it will probably prove futile and only boost sales. 
It is likely that Trump's re election team will only really be interested in limiting its potential damage, in this the election year. Joe Biden (77) his likely Democrat opposition candidate, has already attempted to make political capital from the controversy but he is in a tricky position vis-a-vis China and Trump's success, up until Coronavirus took hold, to increase blue collar jobs and protect mid-western farmers. Trump is blaming China for the pandemic, which fits the global readjustment, but privately he may prefer to lay blame on the CDC and particularly Dr. Anthony Fauci, ostensibly in charge of the joint arrangements with the Wuhan lab to develop the Sars Cov-2 strain now causing such mayhem.
Tony Blair was once described as 'climbing up the outside of the building that was the Labour Party'. In a sense the same could be said of Donald Trump, elected in spite of the Republican Party machine, rather than because of it. He got elected by his commitment to 'drain the Washington swamp' because Americans, although highly patriotic, are sceptical of centralised government and the danger to freedom that it poses.  Whether or not he has succeeded is another matter but Trump's presidency must be seen in that light and his appeal direct to the public, suspicious of the Party machines. His popularity is currently at an all time low for him (around 40%) but this may well recover in time for the election to the chagrin of both major parties. Bolton's attack is dangerous partly because it comes from a 'died-in-the-wool' Republican, that is, from his own side of the political divide - if such a thing exists.
John Bolton has not only always been a right wing Republican, he has also been a vociferous hawk, which makes Trumps observation that "he only wanted to go to war", ring true. Significantly as part of his impressive government career, he was the Director of the 'Project for the New American Century' that famously argued for a "new Pearl Harbour" that actually came about in 2001. He was also in favour of both Iraq wars. He is therefore ineluctably central to the criminal fraud that was 9/11.

He is also an advocate for regime change, and American military involvement to achieve it, in Iran, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba, Yemen and N. Korea. I think we may say that up until Trump, this represented the American foreign policy position, and we have witnessed the wreckage it has caused. There is good reason to fear Bolton and those of his ilk.
So returning to the initial theme, Nero's reputation for good or ill has lasted for two millennia. There is little chance Trump's will last that long, even less one John Bolton. Nevertheless the brouhaha will no doubt play out over the election season and Trump will either win or loose another term. There is little doubt that there has been a conspiracy to oust him based on the completely empty Russiagate charges. The Democrats having failed on that one, the timing of Bolton's attack can hardly be accidental. He represents the Deep State as assiduously as anyone. Whether his accusation sticks that Trump is naive and incompetent and easily played by such leaders as Putin, whilst America 'burns',  awaits to be seen. Who knows, rather than be remembered as a Nero, Trump may turn out to be another Hadrian.* There are those that hope so.

* NOTES - From Wikipedia

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus;[ December 37 – June 68 AD) was Roman emperor from 54 to 68, the last ruler of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. During his reign his general Suetonius Paulinus crushed a major revolt in Britain, led by the Iceni Queen Boudica.

Hadrian  LatinCaesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus; January 76 – July 138) was Roman emperor from 117 to 138. He was born Publius Aelius Hadrianus in ItalicaHispania Baetica, into a Roman Italo-Hispanic family that settled in Spain from the Italian city of Atri in PicenumHe is known for building Hadrian's Wall, which marked the northern limit of BritanniaHe was an ardent admirer of Greece and sought to make Athens the cultural capital of the Empire, so he ordered the construction of many opulent temples there.  Edward Gibbon includes him among the Empire's "Five Good Emperors", a "benevolent dictator"; Hadrian's own senate found him remote and authoritarian. He has been described as enigmatic and contradictory, with a capacity for both great personal generosity and extreme cruelty and driven by insatiable curiosity, self-conceit, and ambition.

A 'STEP BY STEP' GUIDE TO WORRYING WORLD-WIDE DEVELOPMENTS

There is no end to the predictive programming. This one is 'bat-shit crazy': The reverse side of the 25-cent coin depicts a Samoan fruit bat mother with her pup clinging to her wings released by the US Mint on Feb. 3, 2020.

The following is a 'step by step' guide to what we believe are the worrying international developments, the objective of which is to spread awareness in the general public, crucial if the dangers described are to be frustrated. 

https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marcvandelft.nl%2Fcorona-crisis%2FManual.pdf%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1VyAxWGx7Kia-RBL48Ca3JtslA4JCF60DOr0IjeEH2kisTBZ7cT_X9EFk&h=AT3ssV_SDv90WNbikGfKwUs28JHFcpNE49-wESam-dCwS6zK1ys8gkRAn3rTshD1ebL_6ScHKJiNfbJf3MehOH6EkOl1jB1tAcqixiOXFhkgn23GfNZiGUL_ecrApbf5v08

We believe what is now unfolding can be compared to Thomas Mann's brilliant novel 'Der Zauberberg'. The hero of it, Hans Castorp, suffering from TB, resides in the comfortable bubble of a mountain health resort, isolated from the outside world.  When he recovers from the illness, he returns to it, only to discover Europe is ravaged by World War I, where he will most likely die. We believe that unless people choose to leave their 'bubbles', they may wake up to a society far more dangerous and dystopian.


There appears to be a covert agenda behind the government measures all around the globe, and our estimation is that, as time progresses, more and more of this agenda will become clear to ever more people. None of us can now afford the luxury of remaining in the bubble of our comfort zones. 


As a group, we have known about the most horrendous government schemes for more than ten years now, and we feel it is our moral duty to inform you. In this manual, we take one step at a time. It isn’t our aim to convince you of anything, but simply to present facts in a certain order, so you can then form you own opinion on the basis of these facts.

TWENTY STEPS TO AWARENESS



INTRODUCTION 

We are now living in a crucial moment in the history of mankind. It is of vital importance to have an understanding of what is now unfolding in order to be able to influence the outcome. Fortunately, the number of people who are aware  is growing but needs to expand if disastrous consequences to humanity are to be avoided in the next few years. Hopefully this document will inspire others to do likewise.

We have found information suggesting that there are reasons behind government measures and that unchallenged, a covert plan is being wheeled out on an unsuspecting public. We have witnessed the formation of multiple separate groups that, although having insight, are insular, so that general awareness is limited, which we are trying here to correct.

People differ in their interpretations of what is needed. Some see Donald Trump as a hero, another sees him as a villain. We take the view that it doesn't really matter, because it only obscures the more important issue.  Contentious issues such as ‘chem-trails’, the ‘Illuminati’,  9-11, ‘Qanon’, are similarly secondary. This is about joining forces on the basis of common ground. People need to subsume their differences in order to unite against the common enemy.


CORONAVIRUS CASE STUDY


At least deep down, everyone will have a feeling that there is something strange about the uniform measures that many governments have taken worldwide. 


Another ‘side effect’ of the government measures is that the number of suicides has risen dramatically: https://abc7news.com/suicide-covid-19-coronavirus-rates-during-pandemic-death-by/6201962/

At the same time, more and more information is appearing indicating that the mortality rate of the current virus is no higher than that of an ordinary flu (https://californiaglobe.com/section-2/coronavirushysteria-the-numbers-dont-warrant-the-media-hype/). 

Isn’t it striking, too, that none of the government advice deals with things like healthy nutrition, vitamins such a 'C and D, enough exercise, doing things that bring joy, etc., known to reinforce the essential human immune system? And isn’t it strange that such news doesn’t appear in the mainstream media?

Obviously, all of the above-mentioned measures have  considerable negative side effects. It is only logical that these could have been predicted and planned for, but despite detailed legislation, the general impression was one of panic and chaos.  

People will recall the attacks of 9/11 were said by leading politicians to have been 'completely unforeseeable' and could not have been predicted, despite previous attacks of a similar kind that exercises had anticipated. In similar vein, governments have demonstrated unpreparedness (absence of PPE, testing equipment, immigrant testing and control etc) for the Coronavirus outbreak, despite clear evidence of pre-dating anticipation.

Some examples of the specific expectation of a Coronavirus pandemic follow. The content and timing of these events and documents either display extraordinary prescience, or god forbid the sort of planning with numerous other so-called unexpected 'terrorist events'. 

A.  In the 2018 report Road Map for the Implementation of Actions by the European Commission  announced that the project for mandatory vaccination of each and every world citizen is to be completed by 2022,  See: https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/vaccination/docs/2019-2022_roadmap_en.pdf  

B.  The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) 2019 Annual  Report: 'A world at Risk', strongly hints at a second wave,  See: https://apps.who.int/gpmb/assets/annual_report/GPMB_annualreport_2019.pdf utm_source=mandiner&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=mandiner_202004.
The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), a new body set up under the aegis of the WHO and the World Bank Group to monitor the world’s readiness to respond to outbreaks and other health emergencies with the financial support provided by the Government of Germany, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and Resolve to Save Lives.". It had has its origins in the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa but  convened the first meeting on 10th Sept, 2018. The board aims to publish its first report on the global state of preparedness in September 2019. https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/10-09-2018-global-preparedness-monitoring-board-convenes-for-the-first-time-in-geneva  The timing could hardly be more propitious but not quite 9/11!

C.  Event 201  was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated  response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic.Similar to the Center’s 3 previous exercises—Clade XDark Winter, and Atlantic Storm—Event 201 aimed to educate senior leaders at the highest level of US and international governments and leaders in global industries.

"Fifteen global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future."

"The next severe pandemic will not only cause great illness and loss of life but could also trigger major cascading economic and societal consequences that could contribute greatly to global impact and suffering. The Event 201 pandemic exercise, conducted on October 18, 2019, vividly demonstrated a number of these important gaps in pandemic preparedness as well as some of the elements of the solutions between the public and private sectors that will be needed to fill them. 
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation organised the event and jointly proposed these recommendations."

It cannot escape notice how the Gates Foundation keeps cropping up whenever pandemic or vaccination programmes are considered, not to mention tracking technology. Imperial College London, whose Ferguson models predicted 500,000 UK deaths, had apparently been the beneficiary of over £200 million in Gates Foundation grants.


DEVELOPMENTS IN HOLLAND



They are not normal, and shouldn't be in a democratic society either ". According to the Order, emergency regulations provide plenty of space and a new law is not necessary. (https://bit.ly/nw-adviesnova
)

And the College of Human Rights also delivered an opinion: https://bit.ly/nw-mronline

These advice are valuable but not binding during the approval process.
𝗩𝗥𝗔𝗔𝗚𝗧𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗦
The bill brings a lot of questions. Submission comes at a time when the figures of the RIVM look positive: the number of hospital recordings and corona deaths has decreased drastically in recent weeks and is steadily heading towards the zero line. See the report ′′ Epidemiological situation COVID-19 in the Netherlands 5 June 2020 ": https://bit.ly/nw-rivm-rapport
.

Of course it is in the public interest to ensure that numbers do not rise drastically again. But there are other, less far-reaching possibilities for this, which do not affect our freedom, fundamental rights and human values.
I wonder:
 Why at the moment many rules, punishments and extensive powers for the government in the law?
 Why a 1,5 meter rule in the law, also for outside? (https://bit.ly/nw-buiten
https://bit.ly/nw-smartexit
)
 Why the high fines?
 Why the possibility of prison and community service?
 Why now the possibility of breaching our domestic right?


It would be expected that there will be less heavy rules now than at the beginning of the crisis, but nothing is less true.
Furthermore, the law would be in the interest of public health. If it really is:
 How is it that the new rules have undeniable negative consequences for our health? (https://bit.ly/nw-artsen
https://bit.ly/nw-contact-levensbehoefte
)
 Then why is it allowed that the law will cause huge economic and social damage, which also has major consequences for our wellbeing and our health? (https://bit.ly/nw-cbs

https://bit.ly/nw-schade-smartexit
https://bit.ly/nw-ira
)
 Why is not (also) deployed to improve our resistance and is the advice of 1600 care professional not taken seriously? (https://bit.ly/nw-leefstijl

https://bit.ly/nw-zelfzorg
)

I've always learned that the means must sacred the end. A mosquito won't kill you with a rocket launcher. When I look at the figures of the RIVM and the intended purpose of the law, I see no reason to use these far-reaching, freedom restrictive means and understand the critical attitude of the advisory parties (see above).
I also find it incomprehensible that this law was not discussed during the press conference of Wednesday 5 June. There was mainly talk about ′′ the large package of relaxation ", as Rutte calls it, not about this emergency law, which is a large rule and penalty increase for an indefinite period.
𝗩𝗜𝗝𝗙 𝗩𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗪𝗔𝗔𝗟𝗙 𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗔𝗧 𝗞𝗔𝗡 Í𝗞 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗡?
As far as I'm concerned, everyone should be aware of the consequences of this bill. We can then take joint action to prevent this proposal from being approved. Fortunately, the newspaper and journal have picked up the subject, but it's still five to twelve.
After the (non-binding) advice of the Council of State, only the First and Second Chamber can stop the law. We can help with that by letting us know:
 Sign the main petitions: https://bit.ly/nw-smartexit

Criticism of proposal corona law - Mr. Online
The Dutch Order of Lawyers is critical of the legislative proposal Temporary law measures COVID-19. According to the College of Human Rights, ' human rights risk s' are attached to the law. The law is designed to create a legal basis for corona measures in the other half meter society for a longer term. These are now based on emergency regulations. Legislation [...]



This article explains that the coronavirus bill app confers arbitrary detention powers to the police, immigration officers and public-health officials.
They can detain and isolate ‘potentially’ infectious people.
Any member of the public, including children, could be forcibly detained, isolated, quarantined in an as yet unidentified location. It also enables authorities to forcibly take biological samples from people for testing.
Now let's combine this information with the fact that Matt Hancock wants to mandate the track and trace app and let me paint you a picture.
It's September.... "the second wave" of a virus that has only killed 350 people under 65 with no other morbidities in the UK hits...Again (Or at least the BBC tells you it has)... The app becomes mandatory. It alerts them that you are "potentially infectious"... And you need to be quarantined away from your family. You know, for safety.
That "as yet unidentified location" that they refer to? I'd place a bet that that's when the Nightingale centre suddenly starts getting used.
I hope I'm wrong.
