There was, is still, no virus. Just another of their virus-boogeymen. This virus-boogeyman they are using to cover over our collapsing economy that they've plundered to the bone. Just as in 2007, our plundered economy began to collapse in the REPO market. By November it was clear they were either going to have to fess up to the situation or do something tyrannical to distract and mislead us. They chose tyrannical. Now, hate away, but I've been tracking their about every 18 month virus-boogeymen since 2009 and their plundering of our economy over many more years: I saw it coming for years. _Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission._

Based on his videos that I watched both.now and back in the original days and owning his music as well , then in my humble opinion , Terrrence Trent D'Arby had it all --- the dance moves in par with both James Brown & Michael Jackson , the musical talents of Prince , and the SOULFUL voice of James Brown with some Sam Cooke ! Basically , he was a SUOER NOVA with so much fieru radiance that he couldn't sustain his own STAR POWER ! Whatever people might say about him due to his misfortunatr downfall from popularity and fame --- his TALENT CAN NIT BE DENIED ! Terrence can sing with the All Stars if Soul ! Terrence can most definitely keep up with the Black and white ALL STARS of making wonderfully fun and interesting and entertaining music that still kicks ass for decades , including in this most Pernicious Covid-19 Pandemic Virus Era !
