In Update #14, on the Wuhan New Coronavirus (officially “2019-ncov”), Chris Martenson reports:

Chris Martenson Page Deleted from Wikipedia

“Last night, Wikipedia deleted its page on Chris Martenson. Why? They declared him “non-notable” . . .  totally ignoring his scientific publications (Nature), appearances in the mainstream media (e.g, BBC, Fox News, PBS Newshour), speaking invitations to major universities (like Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Oxford) and government organization (the U.N., UK Houses of Parliament, US state legislatures, etc).

This is the visible hand of the media “buzzsaw”. The messengers who are not part of the “establishment” are being shot. We’ve been slammed in the media (Bloomberg, Mother Jones) for our coronavirus coverage even though they are not challenging us on the science. They’re just smearing us for being a competitor, and for refusing to parrot their “all is fine” narrative.

What we don’t get is why folks are slamming us for advising prudent preparation (not fear). It helps everyone — both the officials in charge of the “greater good”, and us as individuals. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Coronavirus Remains Highly Contagious

“New reports suggest that the virus remains highly contagious (Japanese cruise ship) and we’re seeing more reports of human-to-human transfer where no party had direct exposure with Chinese nationals (Thailand).

Meanwhile, the markets remain stupidly ignorant. Sure, its part of the “keep everyone calm” campaign, but it’s not smart for you to fall for it. The global economy is getting clobbered and, soon, stocks will have to care about it . . . and start falling.”

Chris continues tirelessly synthesizing the data and reporting back to you with understandable and practical insights.
