Editor’s Commentary: There’s a fine line between keeping readers aware of potential developments and engaging in inadvertent fearmongering. I pass on nearly every article about whatever new strain of whatever deadly disease that’s popping up somewhere. In this case, I have concerns about the potential for this disease to be the next Plandemic for three reasons.
First, the incubation period is relatively long, up to two weeks. Second, it can pass back and forth between humans and animals. Third, it was deployed in India where diseases can be spread easily due to population density in the cities. It seems reasonable to believe that someone going to and from a city was infected. We’ll know within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, let’s pray they have it contained because the Nipah virus is a real killer. With that said, here’s Michael Snyder describing the situation that’s unfolding right now…
(End of the American Dream)—For years, the World Health Organization has considered the Nipah virus to be a “priority pathogen” because it has the potential to cause a worldwide pandemic. Thankfully, up to this point that has not happened, but now an outbreak in India is making headlines all over the globe.
Two victims have already died, and there are four others that have tested positive. A five kilometer containment zone has been established around the homes of the two men that died, and schools and businesses in the region are being forced to shut down. Authorities are hoping that such extreme measures will stop this outbreak before it can really get going. But as you will see below, that may not be so easy.
According to the CDC, this virus was initially discovered in Asia in 1999. Since that time there have been other outbreaks, and during those outbreaks there have been cases of human to human transmission…
Nipah virus (NiV) was first discovered in 1999 following an outbreak of disease in pigs and people in Malaysia and Singapore. This outbreak resulted in nearly 300 human cases and more than 100 deaths, and caused substantial economic impact as more than 1 million pigs were killed to help control the outbreak.
While there have been no other known outbreaks of NiV in Malaysia and Singapore since 1999, outbreaks have been recorded almost annually in some parts of Asia since then—primarily in Bangladesh and India. The virus has been shown to spread from person-to-person in these outbreaks, raising concerns about the potential for NiV to cause a global pandemic.
Viruses mutate over time, and so there has always been a tremendous amount of concern that a strain could emerge that would be able to pass very easily from human to human.

In addition, it is important to note that this virus can also be transmitted from animals to humans and from humans to animals. The following comes from the official website of the World Health Organization…
Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic virus (it is transmitted from animals to humans) and can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people. In infected people, it causes a range of illnesses from asymptomatic (subclinical) infection to acute respiratory illness and fatal encephalitis. The virus can also cause severe disease in animals such as pigs, resulting in significant economic losses for farmers.
So just tracking down any humans that may have been exposed to the virus is not going to be enough to contain it. It can spread like wildfire among pigs, and bats are known to be carriers as well.
Once a human is infected, symptoms may not show up until 4 to 14 days after the initial exposure…
Symptoms typically appear in 4-14 days following exposure to the virus. The illness initially presents as 3-14 days of fever and headache, and often includes signs of respiratory illness, such as cough, sore throat, and difficulty breathing. A phase of brain swelling (encephalitis) may follow, where symptoms can include drowsiness, disorientation, and mental confusion, which can rapidly progress to coma within 24-48 hours.
So you could potentially spread this to hundreds of other people before you even realize that you are sick.
Unlike COVID, those that get infected are very likely to die.
In fact, the CDC says that the death rate for the Nipah virus falls within a range of 40 to 75 percent…
Death may occur in 40-75% of cases. Long-term side effects in survivors of Nipah virus infection have been noted, including persistent convulsions and personality changes.
Infections that lead to symptoms and sometimes death much later after exposure (known as dormant or latent infections) have also been reported months and even years after exposure.
Just think about that.
Our world was paralyzed for years by a disease that had an exceedingly low death rate.
So what would happen if the Nipah virus starts spreading worldwide and millions upon millions of people die?
Global health authorities have been concerned about such a scenario for a very long time.
As I mentioned above, the WHO has actually identified it as a “priority pathogen”…
The WHO has designated Nipah a priority pathogen for urgent research and development, one of just 10 diseases the agency lists as having the potential to seed the next pandemic for which we have few to no countermeasures.
There is no cure for the Nipah virus, and so let us hope that this outbreak fizzles out very quickly.

As I write this article, there have been a total of six confirmed cases.
Two of the victims are dead, and four others are currently being treated…
With Kerala’s Kozhikode reporting another confirmed case of Nipah virus on Friday, the state government declared holidays for educational institutions in the district till September 24. India is set to procure 20 more vials of antibody vaccines to treat the infected, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said.
On Friday, one more case of Nipah virus infection was confirmed in Kerala’s Kozhikode district after the sample of a 39-year-old man turned positive, taking the total number of cases to six. Active cases now stand at four after two people died due to the infection.
The state of Kerala has already declared a state of emergency, and we are seeing widespread shutdowns in a desperate attempt to contain the virus…
The southern Indian state of Kerala has declared a state of emergency in its fight against the Nipah virus, a rare and deadly disease that has already claimed two lives.
Schools, offices, and public transport have been shut down in a bid to halt the spread of the virus. Indian health officials have implemented various containment zones to control the spread of the virus.
A five-kilometer containment zone was established around the residences of the two men who died of the Nipah virus on August 30, a 47-year-old man, and September 11, a 40-year-old man, according to Health Minister Veena George.
“As of Thursday afternoon, Kozhikode District Collector A Geetha had declared 53 wards as containment zones across nine panchayats (a village council). This number is likely to increase if more positive cases of the virus are reported in forthcoming days,” according to Hindustan Times.
If this thing does get loose and it starts spreading all over the world, it is going to create a tremendous amount of fear.
In fact, it would make what we went through with COVID look like a Sunday picnic.
Speaking of COVID, it is still very much with us.
At this stage, we are being told that the current number of infections is actually “hovering near levels of the pandemic’s first peak in 2020”…
U.S. COVID infections are hovering near levels of the pandemic’s first peak in 2020, and approaching the Delta peak of late 2021, according to wastewater surveillance and modeling by forecasters.
It’s yet another sign that while the official pandemic state may be over, the days of COVID are far from it.
Viral wastewater levels are not far behind all of the pandemic’s 2020 peaks except for one—the initial peak of March 2020, which they’ve already surpassed. And they lag just slightly levels seen during the deadly Delta peak of late 2021, according to Biobot Analytics, which monitors such data for the federal government.
After everything that we have been through, they were never able to defeat COVID. And now it is just a matter of time before the next great pandemic sweeps across the planet.
As I have warned my readers over and over again, we have entered an era of great pestilences. Our ability to create and manipulate deadly diseases far exceeds our ability to contain them, and as we have seen once something gets out it can spread around the world in a matter of weeks.
Hopefully this new outbreak in India has been caught in time. Because if it hasn’t, we could soon have another colossal crisis on our hands.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
Well we were told COVID-19 was Pandemic #1. We should have listened.
Listened to what Ozzonelayyer? Covid is and was VASTLY overblown. The vax does not work and is likely the cause of more deaths than Covid itself!
right on!
India was not targeted and survived Covid pretty well. So, Bill Gates and his coven of warlocks went back to work and created something special for India. Bill Gates is still under indictment in India.
Where’s Fauci and Gates?
Does anyone believe Michael Snyder? He has been screaming “The end is here” for almost 20 years..most of his stories are embelished crap…
Letting you and I know information is an investigative writer’s job. You have a brain and the ability to access data on the internet ( for now) to evaluate that information. Come to your own conclusions and behave accordingly. That’s your right as it is mine.
Timelines for plans byTPTB are often exaggerated by them, look at Agenda 21 which has turned into Agenda 30. It doesn’t mean when they miss a deadline that they’ve given up their goals or stopped refining their attacks/ tools to achieve them.
In a current text written by a climate group with the W-E-F’s etc. goals, it has two columns: probable goals and ambitious goals. In the first column, it reads by2030 they want < 100 personal vehicles per thousands of citizens, reduction of meat/ dairy to 25kg per year, and waste cut by 75%. In the latter ambitious column, it reads no personal cars, no meat/ dairy, and zero household waste by 2030. You’re also allowed three new clothing items per year. Sounds pretty draconian to me.
Disparaging someone for letting you know data is disingenuous. Its your prerogative to do so, but if he’s full of it, why are you here reading what he writes? Wouldn’t you just move on to a source you believe is more credible?
2 dead WORLDWIDE and the “coin-toss test” said 4 more WORLDWIDE test positive…and EXTREMELY small sky is falling
did they get the death rate from Imperial College’s liar Neil Ferguson?
glad they are wearing masks. that’ll help a whole bunch
Don’t trust any of the ALPHABET AGENCIES. Those globalists are trying to murder us all.
QUICK, run for the boosters!! Get four or five!
I think it would be a good idea to stop travel to , and from India. I think that was a huge mistake with the COVID-19.. if they’re serious about stopping the spread then stop the travel. It’s always going to be something from here on out. I’m going on with my life as I choose, and I’m not gonna worry about this crap!! If I Die, I die, and then I will be with the Lord Jesus hallelujah!
Seems Snyder has received his check from the WHO. This reads like pre-COVID propaganda. In short, it certainly is propaganda. Have seen Snyder’s name here and there before – will make sure to avoid anything written by him in future (CNN already has this type of nonsense covered).
India is an ancient miscegenation toilette. If you want to see what America will look like some time down the road, look at Brazil and India. India is a filthy place full of schizo trash. Why do third world people mass immigrate to white European created nations, and not the other way around? You know the answer. There is still time to turn this around America.
