MAYDAY 1594: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2020

“We politicize crises to score points, political. In an illustration of how not to work together, my late-night remonstrations, in tweets,

sometimes reveal kernels of truth. We waste time competing. We‘d better, not waste time — cooperating — with tweets.”

“Tweets. By products of Twitter’s magical algorithm. And tweets linked serially may make for a novel, novel. To fight a virus novel

and win for me, and my pals, maybe, Nobels. My tweets intend to teach ye, pastimes, in the future. Communication … novel.”

“Social distancing measures, I present to ye. The pastimes of our futures — may come to pass if discovered in the present — to be

measures, socially attracting. Tweets, serially linked, make for novel reading. To win for me and my pals, Nobels, presently.”

@MoveOn @UN — to one — nation. Convene to dissolve and reconvene, as the new, and improved, UN. Social distancing measures

reluctantly, I present ye. Measures such as the cancellation, of public events, loom. And the measures may prove to be, unpopular.”

“I ask for investigation by my coronavirus czars of whether the coronavirus is capable of wafting into the atmosphere — alighting

— far away from whence … coughed. New cases are reported in Washington state, Oregon and California. Is it in air, wafting?”

MAYDAY 1593: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2020

“Widespread transmission of the virus may impact schools, child care centers, colleges, concerts, festivals and — sporting events

But don’t worry; be happy. I’m in secret negotiations with the microbes. And making the border wall … microbe … resistant.”

“I urge Americans to prepare for “social distancing measures” such as closing schools and canceling large events. An opportunity,

born of a tragedy. But don’t worry. Be happy. The games may well go on, but just need to be played in arenas, of fans, emptied.”

“The implementation of so-called social distancing measures between here and Election Day may spell the end of my bid for

re-election. An opportunity, the virus for us if games need be played in arenas emptied of customers they play all season — for.”

“Nigeria’s the sub-Saharan region of Africa’s first case. WHO says the virus’ invisible spread could get out of control. Socially

disruptive, social distancing measures; all they have against wily microbes. But I’m negotiating with the microbes, secretly.”

“Financial markets around the world continued their relentless plunge on Friday, with European exchanges all declining more

than 2 percent. Wall Street seemed poised to follow. This may be my worst week since the crisis of 2008. I can’t take … any more.”

“The buck stops over there on Mike’s desk. I have set expectations for stopping the virus almost impossibly high. It’ll be up to Mikey

to meet those expectations. Or face the consequences of a mercurial boss intent on avoiding at all cost, responsibility.”

“This is a reality check for every government on the planet. Wake up. And get ready. An outbreak, gone epidemic, goes pandemic

— possibly — as soon as tomorrow. As soon as tomorrow we may leave the Middle Ages, to enter into this new age, so, tragi-comic.”

MAYDAY 1592: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2020

“When the virus comes — perhaps — never to leave, both the content and the quality of the federal response, will be on me. The virus,

already here, is a very low risk to US. And delegating it to Mike and wishful thinking may be good policy for me, and US.”

“The virus may be novel but ye really don’t need to buy anything special to prepare for it. Remain calm — And pray. I believe, in prayer.

Believe, in its power. But the power of the presidency is limited by men and even by microbes. Join me … in prayer.”

“Remain calm. And pray. Believe in the power of prayer. But the power of my presidency is limited by men and even by microbes now.

But my novel novel may make (wo)man, if not wiser, more artful, in their communications. And using, 280 characters — is how.”

“Global health experts are coming to the same conclusion: This coronavirus will take its time circling the globe. Unknown at this time:

How quickly or it’ll spread, how many die, how well we’ll respond and whether we implement the Golden Rule … in time.”

“Abandon sovereignty as the foundation of good governance. Implement in its stead — in the interests of the people — a Rule,

Golden. Global health experts agree: See — in the present — the future. And the future includes, microbes, and men … and a Rule.”

“The future may include men; microbes, surely. Old hands at survival, are they. See Homo sapiens in presents, golden futures.

Abandon sovereignty to govern. Choose, in the interests of the people … not the interests of men, conflicted … in the future.”

“See in presents golden futures. Dissolve the UN. Reconvene as UN as in — one nation. Adopt the Golden Rule and intelligence

artificial over too limited, human, intelligence and decision-making. Leave political decision-making to artificial, intelligence.”

MAYDAY 1591: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2020

“I am no match for this microbe; in cunning and formlessness. Shall we see, in time, that in the coronavirus lies — an opportunity,

unprecedented? In soirée last night Bruce Lee himself, reminded us; if it attacks like water, to defeat it, like water, be.”

“If your opponent is formless like water, to defeat him or her, like water be, Shall we see in time, that in the coronavirus lies, in time, opportunities,

unprecedented? To defeat the coronavirus, Homo … sapiens … emulate its formlessness … in time.”

“To defeat the coronavirus, Homo sapiens, emulate, ts formlessness. Cast off the markers marking ye as the property of the sovereign.

Sovereignty is an anachronism. China’s sudden export of a novel virus, respects no nationality and no, border, sovereign.”

“This week the CDC warned US to prepare for a pandemic, stocks tumbled on fears of just how bad things might get and the White

House sought $2.5 billion to fight the contagion. And I’ll address ye all tonight to assure ye everything’s gonna be, all right.”

“One place has yet to report even a single case: Sub-Saharan Africa. It is highly likely that the national health systems of African

nations cannot even detect, the presence of the virus. Its impact may be catastrophically … devastating … to Africans.”

“When the virus comes — perhaps — never to leave, both the content and the quality of the federal response, will be on me. The virus,

already here, is a very low risk to US. And delegating it to Mike and wishful thinking may be good policy for me, and US.”

 

MAYDAY 1590: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2020

“An equal-opportunity epidemic, the virus indiscriminately attacks open and closed societies, autocracies and democracies, countries,

developed and war zones, alike. That makes the task of containing it daunting for one not as controlling as President Me.”

“President Me. Actually, I am no match for the microbe now leading the charge against us. Shall we presciently, see, in time that the deadly

coronavirus represents an opportunity, unprecedented. The virus attacks formlessly, like water. To defeat it, like water be.”

“My strategy of publicly downplaying the threat that the virus poses to the United States has been, undermined. The Dow Jones

industrial average — a measure I closely follow, shed more than 1,000 points, its largest drop, in two years. How now, Dow Jones?”

“The CDC now warns that the coronavirus will spread to communities in US. An outbreak in Italy, the worst — outside Asia,

today is spreading, with new cases in Spain, Austria, Croatia, Switzerland and France. But Xi is absolutely, in control, in … Asia.”

“The CDC warns that the coronavirus will spread to communities in US. An outbreak in Italy, the worst — outside Asia, unpredictably,

today, is spreading; new cases in Spain, Austria, Croatia, Switzerland and France beg we question if in control … is Xi?”

“New cases beg we question whether, in control, is Xi? Or, for that matter, any man? The CDC warns that the coronavirus will spread to

communities in US. But the warning won’t much matter. Unless we realize from the coronavirus, its opportunities … too.”

“I am no match for this microbe; in cunning and formlessness. Shall we see, in time, that in the coronavirus lies — an opportunity,

unprecedented? In soirée last night Bruce Lee himself, reminded us; if it attacks like water, to defeat it, like water, be.”

MAYDAY 1589: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2020

“Cometh the coronavirus, covid-19. In answer, my novel MAYDAYS, answers, 280 characters, at a time. The champion of numerology,

mathematics’ — Pythagoras — himself, said … all is number. An astonishing declaration, later in time … proven true, mathematically.”

“Cometh, the microbes. In answer my novel novel answers, 280 characters, at a time. Times have changed, We’ve more to fear now

than just fear, itself. Cometh, the microbes. But my mentor Vlad, and my lover Kim, want to get Xi, to let us, tell them … how.”

“Cometh from China, the microbes. Probing our defenses and finding them inadequate the microbes have been exporting themselves

freely, quarantine, or no quarantine. In a deadly quarantine are the Syrians in Idlib; not free …to flee … to free … themselves.”

“In a deadly quarantine are the Syrians in Idlib between Turkey and Syria. Still, even without a single confirmed case sub-Saharan Africa,

may be the region hardest hit outside Asia by the coronavirus. Such is the economic dependence, on China, of Africa.”

“Even without a single confirmed case sub-Saharan Africa may be the region hardest hit outside Asia by the novel coronavirus. That on

top of an invasion of locusts whose swarm may grow 500 times. Blackening the sky. Leaving nothing, for folks, to feed on.”

“Notwithstanding the absence of even one confirmed, coronavirus case, sub-Saharan Africa may be the region hit, hardest of all.

Africa will catch up with the rest of us. The virus, in an ambulatory host, just crosses borders and just, walks around, walls.”

MAYDAY 1588: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2020

“Of the propagation of microbes and men. There are isolated outbreaks and local and regional epidemics. And pandemics when epidemics become rampant in

multiple countries and continents, concurrently. Coronavirus covid-19 may soon declare war against us by pandemic, Urantian.”

“Of microbes and men and the best laid plans of those men. And one of the many invaluable lessons I have artfully written into MAYDAYS

is that this outbreak turned epidemic turning pandemic may be opportunity disguised as calamity. So says … my MAYDAYS.”

“As an opportunity disguised as a calamity comes a coronavirus, novel. Of microbes and (wo)men and the best laid plans of (wo)men.

Ironically, an outbreak epidemic, turning pandemic may be the key to my saving Urantia and it’s stubbornly … foolish … (wo)men.”

“As opportunity disguised as calamity comes a novel coronavirus. Men listened not to Abraham, Jesus and Mohammad. What if they

belatedly listen? MAYDAY 1600 comes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in just 12 days. And plots thicken … like clockwork, everyday.”

“MAYDAY 1600 comes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in just 12 days. Go figure. I’m no prophet. I’m just an antiheroic, misogynistic

germaphobe, become — tragi-comically — our president. Comes a novel coronavirus; in answer … my novel MAYDAYS … altruistic.”

“Indeed MAYDAY 1600 comes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in just 12 days. Go figure. I’m no prophet. It was Pythagoras who, numerology,

championed. All is number, he said. Comes a novel coronavirus; and in answer … my novel MAYDAYS, answers … poetically.”

“Numbers are spooky. Pythagoras himself was numerology’s champion. All is number, he said. An astonishing declaration, in time,

proven to be true. Comes a novel coronavirus; covid-19; and in answer, my novel MAYDAYS, answers, 280 characters … at a time.”

MAYDAY 1587: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2020

“Africa remains at great risk of calamitous outbreak. And so I was stricken last night when Sun Tsu said that there is opportunity

in the threat of calamity in addition to the opportunity within calamity itself. ‘Tis the opportunistic man whom is lucky.”

“‘Tis the opportunistic man whom is lucky. There is opportunity in the threat of calamity in addition to the opportunity in calamity

itself. Africa remains at great risk of a deadly outbreak. Surprised was I to hear Sun Tsu speak of Africa as opportunity.”

“I have instructed aides to identify and remove officials across the government who aren’t defending my interests and replacing them

with loyalists. I need YES MEN around me. Yes indeed, I need yes men. And they’d best say yes — or I — shall replace them.”

“It’s just another misinformation campaign by desperate Democrats; just another hoax on the heels of their failed — witch hunt — hoax.

Their hoaxes may come back to haunt them for years to come. Unless it’s the GOP that is haunted by me — the GOAT — hoax.”

“As far as hoaxes go — I am — the greatest of them. The GOAT; the greatest, some say, of all time. Witness, my meteoric — trajectory.

A shooting star, falling but saved from downfall by the Germans at Deutshesbank and a Russian, named Putin, incidentally,”

“A shooting star — falling — was I but I got saved from my downfall by the Germans at Deutshesbank and a fair Russian

named Vladimir Putin. As far as hoaxes go, I am the greatest of them. The GOAT; the greatest, some say, of all time. I owe all, to Putin.”

Bolton risks the possibility of a criminal investigation and criminal liability if he proceeds to publish his manuscript without previously

securing approval of the National Security Council. John, just call for hearings; about what happened, in Helsinki.”

MAYDAY 1586: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020

“As expected, as was reported today, Friday, MAYDAY 1585. the Russians are at it again. And so it has come to pass that Moscow’s

planning on intervening again in an American electIon. Strange bedfellows seem, Deutsche Bank … Donald Trump … and Moscow.”

“As expected, as was reported today, Thursday, MAYDAY 1585. the Russians indeed are at it again. It has come to pass: Moscow’s,

intervening, again. And it’s easier to see, in hindsight, that strange bedfellows — only seem — Deutsche Bank and me in Moscow.”

“In hindsight strange bedfellows only seem Deutsche Bank and me and Moscow. The Russians indeed are at it again. Intervening

again in sovereign elections, is Russia. And even now from his dacha, in Moscow, plots, Putin’s master planner … Alexandr Dugin.”

“Alexandr Dugin. Even now from his dacha in Moscow plots Vladimir Putin’s master planner Alexandr Dugin. Alexandr‘s a nationalist —

— uber — Russian. The Russians indeed are at it again. Intervening again in sovereign elections are Russian … imperialists.”

“But even more than me, Vlad’s been getting, to say the least, antsy. Everything’s gone pretty much, according to plan, excepting,

however, some circumstances, unforeseen. The coronavirus in particular is threatening not just Xi and Kim … but also, him.”

“Once it becomes widespread and there’s transmission happening in two continents then it’s a pandemic. Japan”s clusters bode poorly

for we dictators and our nations. Unlike my brothers, however, I see, in … tremendous calamity, tremendous — opportunity.”

Hopes for a slowdown in the spread of the coronavirus were dashed today, as new cases in China, worrisomely rose and outbreaks

worsened, in Japan and South Korea. Still, Africa remains at the greatest risk … for a devastatingly … calamitous, outbreak.”

“Africa remains at great risk of calamitous outbreak. And so I was stricken last night when Sun Tsu said that there is opportunity

in the threat of calamity in addition to the opportunity within calamity itself. ‘Tis the opportunistic man whom is lucky.”

“‘Tis the opportunistic man whom is lucky. There is opportunity in the threat of calamity in addition to the opportunity in calamity

itself. Africa remains at great risk of a deadly outbreak. Surprised was I to hear Sun Tsu speak of Africa as opportunity.”

“I have instructed aides to identify and remove officials across the government who aren’t defending my interests and replacing them

with loyalists. I need YES MEN around me. Yes indeed, I need yes men. And they’d best say yes — or I — shall replace them.”

MAYDAY 1585: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2020

“But what happens when China recovers? Alternatively, what happens when China’s coronavirus exports, tick up? What happens —

then? And what happens — if it, doesn’t recover? Does disaster inevitably, await us? Or might I seize for me, the day, it happens?”

“Might I seize for myself the day when China, in a weakened state, recovers from this latest bout with the dreaded coronavirus.

Alternatively, what happens when China’s coronavirus, ticks up? And what about US vis a vis the dreaded and deadly coronavirus?”

“The plot thickens and in a plot twist Julian’s now saying I offered him a pardon if he agreed to say Russia was not involved in

leaking DNC emails during the 2016 presidential election. I would ne’er offer a quid for a quo in qualification for, a pardon.”

“Actually, it’s OK to mix politics and policy. If I say so, especially. And so, if political quid pro quos are OK, it’s because I have said so,

already. I offer a statement explanatory but I don’t have to. I am, The King. Indeed, I have already, said so.”

“I am The King. While technically that may not be, still, it is effectively so. So it’s OK to mix politics and policy. Political quid — pro

quos; SOPS; the grease that gets things done. And no one save those reading this, my inner-most thoughts … knows.”

“Russian intelligence agencies first planted the conspiracy theory that Rich was murdered by gunmen hired by his opponent, Clinton.

Russian trolls repeatedly boosted claims on Twitter and other social media platforms that Rich was in … on the deception.”

“As expected, as was reported today, Friday, MAYDAY 1585. the Russians are at it again. And so it has come to pass that Moscow’s

planning on intervening again in an American electIon. Strange bedfellows seem, Deutsche Bank … Donald Trump … and Moscow.”
