The Storm Has Begun

President Donald Trump opened his daily press briefing on Sunday with a bombshell, reporting that the U.S. military has freed a group of young people from precarious situations in Peru, Honduras and two other locations, including a girl who was being threatened and abused.

“We spoke to (Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman) General Mark Milley and he took care of it and we got her out,” Trump says. “We’ll report further on that one, but it was rough stuff.”

Trump says that with the help of the Peruvian and Honduran governments, the military is working on rescuing others from these locations. Could this well be the beginning of the storm–the unsealing of the 200,000-plus indictments and the patriots’ mission to free the planet of the evil that has plagued it for decades? Stay tuned. Hear Trump elaborate on the military raids in this video from ABC News.

Quarantine Centers Pre-Planned

As King County, Washington, buys a MOTEL for use as a quarantine center, a network of FEMA facilities across California was created by a January 8th executive order. Who created these quarantine centers BEFORE the epidemic spread, and what does that tell us about whether this pandemic will continue in the US? Watch to find out — and spread the word. More from the Ice Age Farmer.

The number of coronavirus cases around the globe has now surpassed 102,000. There are new cases in Bhutan as well as Colombia and Peru. Styxhexenhammer666 discusses as well as touts his new coronavirus song.

As worldwide coronavirus cases blow past 100,000 people, the question on everyone’s mind is: “How do I avoid getting infected?” Chris Martenson goes through the best steps for self-protection in this video (jump to the 35m:10s mark for his summary)

Crazy infectious with a serious complication rate near 15% and a case fatality rate of over 3%, many of us are likely to catch this virus, and most of us will probably know at least one person who dies from it. And with that many sick people, the health care systems around the world are going to be overwhelmed. Even if you don’t have the virus, you still may not be able to get critical care for other health emergencies (sickness, injury, baby delivery, etc)

Chris shares some of the dozens of stories we’re receiving from health practitioners all over the world who feel shocked and betrayed by how poorly their hospitals are prepared for what’s coming. So take steps now to increase your odds of being one of those who avoids covid-19 altogether.

Remember how a few days ago, we linked San Francisco to the McDonalds dead raccoon cvirus, found Raccoon and crown streets nearby in Google Earth and compared Alcatraz to a quarantined ship out in the bay?! Well, now another cruise ship is being held in quarantine in the port of SF!! This is a spiritual battle as I told you. More from EntertheStars Reloaded.

The Ayuwoki Strikes Again

Across Latin America, a new meme has arisen involving Michael Jackson appearing as a creepy crawler — the ayuwoki — who strikes fear in the hearts of the average individual, usually in the early hours of the morning. The term “ayuwoki” comes from the lyrics “Annie, are you OK” used in Jackson’s album Smooth Criminal.

Songs about this phenomenon have begun to crop up as well. Here’s one song, “La Cancion de Ayuwoki,” from Tongo, a Peruvian satirist and folk singer.

Psy Who? Here Comes Wendy

Vice visits with the diminutive Wendy Sulca,  the biggest YouTube sensation of the Spanish-speaking world. At 12 years old, the Peruvian folksinger took the internet by storm with her hit single “La Tetita” (“The Tittie”), which exceeded 4 million online hits. Written by her widowed mother Lydia Quispe, the song is an ode to breastfeeding sung in the new Andean Huayno style. At 13, she followed up with a new hit single “Cerveza, Cerveza” (Beer, Beer) and the brutally honest track “Yo Soy Pobre” (“I Am Poor”). But despite being recognizable to all young Latin American internet users, Wendy still lives in the outskirts of Lima, in a shack on the side of a hill without running water.

Dr. Cyclops

The team behind King Kong, director Ernest Schoedsack and producer Merian C. Cooper, reassembled seven years later in 1940 to create today’s Trillion Dollar Movie, Dr. Cyclops. This is another tale of adventure in a far-off jungle setting, only instead of dinosaurs and king-sized apes, Dr. Cyclops explores the opposite end of the spectrum. It introduces a bald, brainy, but completely mad scientist who has devised a radium-powered beam that can shrink living creatures into Lilliputians. From his laboratory hidden away deep in the Amazonian jungles of Peru, the not-so-good doctor, Thorkel, has progressed from shrinking cats and dogs to trying out his beam on horses. Now, does he dare begin to experiment on human beings?

But, of course he does. His victims — er, subjects — include his servant Pedro, a prospector searching for the radium mine and three fellow scientists who make the mistake of traveling 10,000 miles to answer Dr. Thorkel’s request for a little lab assistance. It’s these scientists who come to dub him “Cyclops,” not only because he towers over them after they’ve been miniaturized, but also because he wears Coke-bottle eyeglasses to compensate for his poor vision.

Dr. Cyclops wasn’t the first film of its kind. That distinction belongs to Devil-Doll, the 1936 melodrama starring Lionel Barrymore as an escaped convict who uses miniaturized people to torment his enemies. Dr. Cyclops also isn’t as action-packed or as philosophically resonant as a movie that came later, 1957’s The Incredible Shrinking Man. Still, Dr. Cyclops is well worth-watching if for no other reason than Albert Dekker’s idiosyncratic portrayal of the mad scientist. He is a most sinister man but also strangely someone who arouses our sympathies.

The film looks like a comic book that’s sprung to life, having been shot in Technicolor, a rarity for sci-fi movies in the 1940s, or the 1950s for that matter. The special effects also are quite good, considering everything is achieved through trick photography –split-screens, matte work and scaled-down sets — as this was made well before the advent of CGI. None of the miniaturized humans face any foe as scary as the spider that battles Grant Williams, playing the diminutive hero of The Incredible Shrinking Man. But they must outwit a gargantuan crocodile, a voraciously hungry cat and a pesky dog, besides the bellicose Dr. Cyclops.

Hope you enjoy, and do return again next Friday for another Trillion $ Movie.
