Ok, Here is another one that is making the rounds, but can not find any details.
Supposedly defense contractor L3 sent out a memo/letter that martial law was going to be instituted to shutdown America to stop the spread of the Virus.
I can not find anything about this. Probably a hoax, but has anyone heard anything?

China Blames Other Countries for Its Faulty Medical Equipment
China deflects complaints about the high failure rate of exported coronavirus equipment by blaming end users and foreign suppliers.www.breitbart.com
China Blames Other Countries for Its Faulty Medical Equipment
12STR/AFP via Getty ImagesJOHN HAYWARD31 Mar 202023
Chinese state media on Tuesday deflected complaints about the poor quality of masks and coronavirus test kits shipped from China to other countries by insisting “quality concerns” are overblown and the “vast majority” are up to standards, despite growing complaints to the contrary.
The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) media organs blamed the countries that purchased Chinese supplies for using them improperly and cast aspersions on the foreign suppliers of raw materials to Chinese industry.
The CCP’s Global Times produced a masterpiece of evasive doublespeak on Tuesday, condemning “conspiracy theories” about the heavy failure rate of Chinese medical equipment, while slipping in a convoluted admission that “risks of quality issues do exist due to a combination of factors from illegal production activities to improper procurement channels, shortages in crucial foreign materials and loopholes in foreign regulations that require attention from all governments.”
“Hyping up and politicizing quality issues based on several individual cases is not only counterproductive in the global fight against the pandemic but could also be dangerous going forward, as many countries are running out of the life-saving equipment, Chinese officials, businesses and analysts warned,” the Global Times added, as if Chinese officials, businessmen, and analysts could be expected to say anything else.
The Chinese state paper complained that other governments have not provided enough details of the equipment failures. For example, the article suggested those 600,000 Chinese sanitary masks that proved unreliable in the Netherlands might have failed, not because of Chinese manufacturing, but because “material that China relies on importing from Switzerland and Turkey” might have been defective.
The Global Times went on to blame lax certification standards from foreign entities such as the “so-called U.S. Food and Drug Administration” and the European Union for allowing shady Chinese companies to steal sales away from more reputable firms. Nameless Chinese officials provided assurances that “crackdowns” on these dodgy manufacturers are underway.
“Regarding the masks the Dutch officials have asked to recall, it was unclear whether they had gained proper certification and were purchased through proper channels, as the officials did not disclose the source of the masks,” the Global Times huffed.
As for the infamously inaccurate coronavirus test kits pouring out of China, the Global Times blamed end users in countries such as Spain, the Philippines, and the Czech Republic for using the kits incorrectly, in addition to slamming foreign procurers for doing business with the wrong Chinese companies.
An unidentified “insider” from an unnamed agency in an unspecified country magically appeared to confirm everything the CCP said about the defective equipment:
After muttering about “irregular sales activities” of ventilators, thermometers, and their components that might lead to more complaints about quality, the Global Times complained about an alleged “ideologically driven bias toward everything associated with China” and blamed foreign officials for “politicizing” the coronavirus epidemic.
The Global Times fired off an editorial on Monday, raging against anyone who dares to criticize the suspiciously high failure rate of medical equipment coming from the country that claims to have reduced local transmissions of the virus to zero in the heart of the outbreak zone.
The editorial allowed that some dubious manufacturers have set up shop in China and should be hounded out of business by CCP regulators, while also complaining that “standards in different countries are inconsistent” and implying “governments and media of other countries” are irrationally over-hyping quality issues.
This was followed by the customary threats against foreigners who make the grave mistake of angering the “Chinese public”:
Writing at the Washington Times on Monday, Spain-based commentator Jorge Gonzalez-Gallarza Hernandez granted that Spain and the European Union might have ordered supplies from China in too much haste, without properly vetting the suppliers, and Spanish officials have not handled the ensuing controversy well, but noted both Chinese corporate and government officials have also been evasive in responding to quality complaints.
Among other things, Beijing’s list of approved vendors was published after Spain bought those coronavirus test kits with a 70 percent failure rate from Bioeasy, a company that turned out to be absent from the approval list.
“Accepting this as an excuse would assume that any medical equipment Chinese firms have exported prior to the official list release is beyond Beijing’s responsibility to quality-control. How reassuring,” Hernandez said sarcastically.
“What friendly country allows exports of test kits that it wouldn’t use on its own population? Given the predatory nature of China’s development aid, likening its medical equipment sales to the Belt and Road initiative may turn an accurate parallel,” Hernandez concluded, referring to China’s vast infrastructure program, criticized for luring Third World governments into taking out Chinese loans they can never repay.
Anyone that has read the book Poorly Made in China would not buy sand from the Chinese for filling in a ditch, let alone anything to go on or in their body.

Potatoes have more calories than beans per growing area.
I was reading “the sustainable vegetable garden” by John Jeavons last night. From the book...
When thinking about gardening, we must consider how to grow crops that will provide as many calories as possible in a given area. Dry beans can provide a lot of calories per pound, but it takes a lot of space to grow enough beans to provide all or most of our calories.
We can get a lot more potatoes out of a given area than dry beans. Even though a pound of potatoes has less than one-fifth the calories that are in a pound of dry pinto beans, a small patch of potatoes produce a lot more calories in a given area than an equal area to pinto beans.
The bio intensive midrange yield for potatoes is 200 pounds per 100 square feet, while the bio intensive midrange yield for beans and wheat is 10 pounds per 100 square feet.

But beans put nitrogen into the soil. Useful when one can't buy fertilizer. One should also not grow the same crop in the same soil, hear after year.
Beans also store better long term. I can store dry beans for years . Potatoes only last till spring.

I seriously think china is using bio warfare. They sucked all the masks up around the world after releasing a deadly virus. Bashed countries for stopping planes from them. Had the WHO claim it want transmitted between peoples. Then released masks that don't work , tests that don't work, and tests that are pre contaminated.
They want us dead!

Would using organic potatoes from the grocery store work? Assuming we can find any.
Tristan

Well, I guess the first question is, do they have the materials on hand or in the pipeline to produce n95 masks? Or the Machines to produce them? Or do they have machines which could be adapted to such use?
Do they even have the expertise on hand anymore in the US to make the machines that make the masks? I really don't know - serious question.
What about lead times? Is this going to be over in 2 months? 2 years?
See where I'm going with this?
They don't need to be organic. You aren't gonna eat the seed potato.

I seem to recall the US destroyed a huge shipment of illicit fentanyl recently (several actually); too bad it couldn't have been tested and reprocessed into a emergency stockpile for response to just sort of a problem (pipe dream there, I know...)
Here's an example:
Massive fentanyl seizure in Ohio 'amounts to chemical warfare'
Authorities called the 45 pounds of the powerful drug "enough to kill the entire population of Ohio, many times over.”
www.nbcnews.com
and another:
US drugs bust uncovers enough Chinese fentanyl ‘to kill 14 million people’
The seizure of 30 kilograms of the opioid sent by a vendor in Shanghai comes in the wake of growing US efforts to stem the flow of drugs from China.

It should. Don't need to be organic but you don't want them sprayed with the sprout delay.

We have one existing plant pre Corona, full production for the hospitals that supported them while others chose China or Mexico. Not rocket science but some seem to think specialized production machines can be repurposed like changing a light bulb. A computer welding machine for auto manufacturing cannot be reprogrammed to become a sewing machine.
Hence the pillow guy has sewing machines that can be repurposed to supply critical needed masks and keep his people working while retail is shutdown.
There is short term stop gap and longer term move to local production, manufactures won’t tool up if the big hospitals and hospital distributors are planning to move back to cheaper Chinese as soon as crisis over.
The government will have to step in an require certain identified critical need items are moved to American production.

The lower left section is from a book written by psychic Sylvia Browne called End of Days. I believe it was written in 2008.
No, but most non-organic potatoes are treated with sprout inhibitors... the will generally start to sprout if kept in warmer conditions, but aren't ideal for planting.
One big factor in the "dry beans vs potatoes" debate is *calories expended* to grow them. Potatoes require hilling and weeding (they'll tolerate a pretty good weed load once they're well started, but it makes harvest a royal PITA, and can impede airflow and thus increase disease problems. Plus, quackgrass roots will grow into and even through potatoes, which damages them for storage) but are pretty easy to plant, harvest and store. We've grown as much as 1800# without any fancy tools... dug the trench with a hoe (after thorough soil preparation with a rototiller), billed them with a how and shovel, and harvested with a digging fork. It's not really difficult (but as we get older, we love the horsedrawn potato digger we pull with the 4-wheeler!)
Dry beans, OTOH, require similar care with weeding (in a humid or wet year, weeds will hold moisture, and keep the pods from drying down, or even encourage mold and rot). You then have to hull the beans, and winnow them to get rid of all the trash. Then pick them over before using. I've done it, several times, but growing more than 10# or so is very time consuming.
One other factor.. Potatoes will grow in much cooler weather. Beans are heat lovers. Even the short4st season variety I know (Jacob's Cattle, which combine earliness with beauty and great taste...good yields, too) requires a minimum of 85 days from planting... and you can't plant until the soil warms up and all risk of frost is gone. Most varieties are closer to 100 days to harvest.

Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff Wants ‘9/11 Commission’ on Coronavirus: ‘What Went Wrong’?
Andrew Harnik/AP PhotoJoel B. Pollak1 Apr 2020
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Monday he will introduce a bill to create a “nonpartisan commission” to study “our mistakes” on coronavirus — which spread while Schiff was leading the effort to impeach and remove the president.
As Breitbart News has noted, Democrats handed over the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on the very day the first coronavirus victim landed in the U.S. from China. Congress spent the next 20 days on the impeachment trial, led by Schiff as head impeachment manager and chair of the House Intelligence Committee. It was not until Trump was acquitted Feb. 5 that a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee held a hearing on coronavirus.
View: https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/1245352023433887744
Throughout the 20 days of the impeachment trial, while Schiff and his team were preoccupied with trying to remove the president from office, Trump took several actions aimed at fighting the coronavirus.
Trump imposed his travel ban on China Jan. 31 — the day the Senate voted on witnesses in the impeachement trial.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), one of the only legislators to raise the alarm on coronavirus, told the Arkansas Gazette in January that he was breaking the rules and skipping to trial to work with the administration on the coronavirus issue.
Schiff, as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, receives briefings on threats facing the United States.
His proposed new bill would create a “9/11 Commission”-style inquiry into how the U.S. dealt with coronavirus.
Schiff broke the news of his bill with David Ignatius of the Washington Post — the same columnist who broke the news in January 2017 that incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had spoken with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn had been “unmasked” in transcripts of wiretapped telephone conversations.
Much of Ignatius’s article on Schiff’s bill focuses on Ambassador Richard Grenell, whom Ignatius accuses — citing “[c]areer officials” — of “trying to shape intelligence that might challenge or embarrass Trump” on coronavirus. Grenell, who served as U.S. ambassador to Germany, was recently named acting Director of National Intelligence.
