The man leading Sweden’s coronavirus response says the country’s elevated death toll “really came as a surprise to us.”
Dr. Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s state epidemiologist, appeared on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” on Tuesday, when he described the country’s controversial approach.
“We never really calculated with a high death toll initially, I must say,” he said.
“We calculated on more people being sick, but the death toll really came as a surprise to us.”

American Evangelicals and other Protestants are known for their “ love ” and support of Israel and Jews .
They often give lots of money to Israel and Jewish causes , which both happily take .
However , many Evangelicals tend to equivocate the support and willingness to accept money from such Christians as a sign of openness to the Gospel .
The truth is rather the opposite .
If Christ came to lead man out of spiritual Babylon to freedom , then to be a Jew in the true sense is completely devoid of race as a facet of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embrace Christianity , and therefore modern Judaism is not following God , but rather a form of tribal warfare that is running back to Babylon to worship demons .
The Bible says in 1 John 2:22 that he who does not embrace Christ and rejects Him embraces the antichrist , and such a rejection is found no more perfectly in the Talmud and related works such as the Zohar .
It is therefore of interest as reported by the Christian Post that a new Evangelical TV station in Israel is facing legal threats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A new evangelical Christian television channel in Israel has been threatened with being shut down if it engages in any type of missionary activity , according to Israeli media reports .
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that the international television network GOD TV ’ s new Hebrew-language channel Shelanu began airing last week on Israel ’ s HOT cable network after receiving a seven-year license from the Israeli Communications Ministry .
GOD TV CEO Ward Simpson announced the launch and declared that the network has been “ given government permission to broadcast the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , something he said has never been done before .
Proselytizing to people younger than 18 without their parents ’ consent is against the law in Israel , according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz .
And under the terms of the Shelanu license , the network is forbidden from engaging in missionary activities .
The Chairman of the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council , Asher Biton , told the newspaper that he was unaware when the license was granted to Shelanu that the new channel planned to engage in activities that are prohibited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biton told the newspaper that he has ordered an investigation into the channel .
Biton was quoted as saying that if it ’ s determined that the license terms have been violated or there is any intention to violate them , Shelanu would be shut down .

“ [ B ] ut it is forbidden to broadcast content that has the potential to influence viewers in an undue fashion , and most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he doesn ’ t want to rush to judgment because shutting down television networks isn ’ t something the council does often .
A HOT spokesperson told the newspaper that Shelanu is one of a number of religious channels that are broadcast in the country .
“ It received a permit from the council and is broadcasting according to law , ” the spokesperson declared , adding that “ full information was provided to the council and the channel is operating in accordance with the permit it received.
” According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amsalem said he “ will not allow any missionary channel to operate in Israel , at no time and under no circumstances.

A response is pending .
According to a statement from GOD TV , Shelanu translates to the word “ ours ” in Hebrew .
The channel aims to “ present new and original @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Israel.
” “ Additionally , international Messianic voices will share powerful real-life testimonies of Israelis who have come to know Yeshua as Messiah , ” the statement reads .
“ The channel , which won ’ t carry fundraising , is being financed by Christians across the globe who want to empower Messianic congregations.

Shelanu is operated in partnership with Tikkun International , an Israel-based network of Christian ministries .

He is their Jewish Messiah , born in Israel , raised as a Jew.

They are His people- just as ALL people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ chosen people ” are those who embrace Christ as it is and act of faith and the will and not identitarianism or related ideologies .
Is it a surprise that countless saints of old declared , almost uniformly , that albeit living in different ages that it would be out of the Jews that the antichrist would emerge ?
If modern Judaism is defined by the rejection of the Messiah , which the Bible explicitly states that the Jews crucified and when given the chance to free Him changed “ Not this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His blood be upon us and upon our children , crucify Him ” , and this is how the religion has defined itself since the time of Christ , is there not a more perfect scenario ?
The utter contempt being shown towards this one television station about proclaiming Christ is evidence of the Evangelical ignorance of these realities .
It is certainly important to be good to Jews , as all people , not because they are Jews , but because it is the morally right thing to do .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and likewise mistreatment must also not be accepted against oneself .
For decades , the Evangelical- and thankfully dying -bloc has continued to support Israel out of a flawed theology without ever asking if they were receiving support back from Israel .
All that these Evangelicals largely want is a platform to spread the Gospel , even if people do not agree with it .
Yet when they ask for this , they are violently rejected and even threatened with legal assault from ostensibly the same people they tried to help .

It is therefore of interest as reported by the Christian Post that a new Evangelical TV station in Israel is facing legal threats over preaching Christ in its broadcasts.
A new evangelical Christian television channel in Israel has been threatened with being shut down if it engages in any type of missionary activity, according to Israeli media reports. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that the international television network GOD TV’s new Hebrew-language channel Shelanu began airing last week on Israel’s HOT cable network after receiving a seven-year license from the Israeli Communications Ministry. GOD TV CEO Ward Simpson announced the launch and declared that the network has been “given government permission to broadcast the Gospel of Jesus Christ” in Israel, something he said has never been done before. Proselytizing to people younger than 18 without their parents’ consent is against the law in Israel, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

A response is pending. According to a statement from GOD TV, Shelanu translates to the word “ours” in Hebrew. The channel aims to “present new and original programming from local congregations on the ground in Israel.” “Additionally, international Messianic voices will share powerful real-life testimonies of Israelis who have come to know Yeshua as Messiah,” the statement reads. “The channel, which won’t carry fundraising, is being financed by Christians across the globe who want to empower Messianic congregations.” The GOD TV statement also states that Shelanu wants “every person in Israel to know, not a foreign Messiah, but a Jewish one!” “His name is Yeshua and He has not forgotten His people,” the statement adds.

It is true that God has not forgotten the Jewish people. They are His people- just as ALL people are His people. And the true “chosen people” are those who embrace Christ as it is and act of faith and the will and not identitarianism or related ideologies.
Is it a surprise that countless saints of old declared, almost uniformly, that albeit living in different ages that it would be out of the Jews that the antichrist would emerge? If modern Judaism is defined by the rejection of the Messiah, which the Bible explicitly states that the Jews crucified and when given the chance to free Him changed “Not this one but Barabbas” and “Let His blood be upon us and upon our children, crucify Him”, and this is how the religion has defined itself since the time of Christ, is there not a more perfect scenario?
The utter contempt being shown towards this one television station about proclaiming Christ is evidence of the Evangelical ignorance of these realities. It is certainly important to be good to Jews, as all people, not because they are Jews, but because it is the morally right thing to do. However, evil must never be accepted at all, and likewise mistreatment must also not be accepted against oneself.
For decades, the Evangelical- and thankfully dying -bloc has continued to support Israel out of a flawed theology without ever asking if they were receiving support back from Israel. All that these Evangelicals largely want is a platform to spread the Gospel, even if people do not agree with it. Yet when they ask for this, they are violently rejected and even threatened with legal assault from ostensibly the same people they tried to help.
It is long overdue that Evangelicals vote with their dollars and show them the same contempt which many Evangelicals still hold towards Catholics. What is the point of giving money to causes and groups for people that beg for money but when asked for a small favor immediately show ingratitude and open hostility, especially about something so kind as preaching Christ, which is all they want to do?
Let Israel ask Trump and Jared Kushner to print more money for them- Trump as already shown his willingness to print trillions, so what is a few billion between allies? But let the Evangelicals keep their money and spend it on things that will bear more fruit for more people, for God came to save all races, and a little money will go a long way to helping pagan and Moslem peoples hear the Gospel, who are likely more open to it, than to provide more money for the slush funds of American transplants from Jewish communities in New York and other areas to the West Bank at the expense of the native Arabs to eat cheap pizza from their government-funded settlements courtesy of the Israeli taxpayer.

shoebat--2020-05-07--WE TOLD YOU SO: Modi Working With US To Divest From China, Move Manufacturing To India

Shoebat.com has repeatedly insisted that Trump meeting with President Modi of India , a well-known Hindu nationalist with ties through the BJP to infamous Hindu terrorist groups such as Bajrang Dal , Vishwa Hindu Parishad , and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh , following the outbreak of COVID-19 was not an accident .
To the contrary , it was intentional because as I noted , the virus would be used as an excuse to blame China ( regardless of her role in the spread of the disease ) and transfer US manufacturing to India , a process I said was quietly happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The reason for this is because in the coming global conflict , the US wants to pit China against India on her southwestern border while with Japan in the northeast , rebellions in southeast Asia , and rebellions in Turkestan ( Xinjiang and parts Central Asia ) with a Russia who will not help China is a perfect recipe for her destruction .
Now it is true that a lot of Christians in India will suffer because of this , since the Nationalists will use a war with China to indulge in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Now according to a recent story from MSN News , India is in talks with Trump to transfer the manufacture of goods in China to India , just as we predicted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses , including medical devices giant Abbott Laboratories , to relocate from China as President Donald Trump ’ s administration steps up efforts to blame Beijing for its role in the coronavirus pandemic .
The government in April reached out to more than 1,000 companies in the U.S. and through overseas missions to offer incentives for manufacturers seeking to move out of China , according to Indian officials who asked not to be identified , citing rules on speaking with the media .
India is prioritizing medical equipment suppliers , food processing units @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makers among more than 550 products covered in the discussions , they said .
Trump ’ s move to blame China for its handling of the Covid-19 outbreak , which has killed more than a quarter-million people worldwide , is expected to worsen global trade ties as companies and governments move resources out of the world ’ s second-largest economy to diversify supply chains .

The massive job losses due to the effects of COVID-19 do not stop with work. When a man loses his job, he can’t pay his bills, and if he can’t pay his bills, he is forced into bankruptcy. In response to this, the Wall Street Journal reports that law firms are preparing for a wave of bankruptcies.
The nation’s bankruptcy industry is bracing for a wave of business collapses triggered by the coronavirus pandemic as its ranks have been thinned by a decade of economic growth.
The slowed pace of corporate chapter 11 bankruptcy filings—which crested in 2009 with 13,700 cases and has fallen to about half that amount in recent years—has led restructuring firms to shed bankruptcy lawyers and advisers.
Now the firms are preparing for the rush.
O’Melveny & Myers LLP, Paul Hastings LLP, DLA Piper and Sidley Austin LLP are among the law firms looking to hire bankruptcy lawyers at locations across the country, said Dan Binstock, a partner at Garrison & Sisson who is president of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants.

Restructuring advisory firms are staffing up too, including FTI Consulting FCN 2.27%▲ Inc., which began reassigning some of its corporate finance professionals to handle distress work in March.
Even as firms shift resources, their pool of available talent is shallow because the bankruptcy practice has been mostly at a lull in recent years.
“That missing generation—that’s a real thing,” said Thomas Horan, a partner at the Fox Rothschild LLP law firm in Wilmington, Del. “If you’re looking for that midlevel associate who really knows what they are doing, they are hard to find.”
The financial crisis triggered a rise in business failures, creating full demand for bankruptcy lawyers, restructuring advisers and legal support businesses. But filings have declined since then, leading to a contraction of the industry. (source)

While the world is burning with concern about COVID-19 citizens of the Florida panhandle are fleeing for their lives amid massive wildfires, for according to the Pensacola News Journal, thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate and many homes have been threatened or destroyed by the flames.
Fueled by high winds and low humidity, the Five Mile Swamp Fire raged out of control Wednesday, leading to evacuation orders for up to 1,100 Milton residents.
The fire, which began as a prescribed burn on private property Monday that got out of control, was at 250 acres and 40% contained Wednesday morning. But drought conditions and a northerly wind stoked the flames, and by Wednesday afternoon, the fire had burned an untold number of acres and was nowhere near contained.
“This is a significant fire event,” said Joe Zwierzchowski, spokesman for the Florida Forest Service. “Deteriorating weather conditions, changes in the wind, a strong north wind and extremely low humidity are allowing this fire to grow.”
Jimmy Patronis, the state of Florida’s Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal, tweeted Wednesday evening that the fire had grown to more than 2,000 acres. (source)

shoebat--2020-05-08--Democrats Propose Giving Two Thousand A Month To Americans During The COVID-19 Crisis

When Trump gave COVID-19 emergency relief checks , this was just the beginning of the move towards a Universal Basic Income/hyperinflation as the government has decreed to print money to the point of it becoming worthless .
Having noted this , Americans do not care , because there is a lack of basic understanding as to what money is and how it functions , for many just see a “ free check ” from Uncle Sam and numbers on a computer screen .
Now the Democrats are going to ‘ one-up ’ Trump with a proposal to pay Americans two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the COVID-19 crisis .
Sens .
Kamala Harris , Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey introduced a bill Friday to give most Americans $ 2,000 a month during the coronavirus pandemic , as historic job losses leave millions scrambling to cover bills .
The legislation would provide a direct payment to people who make up to $ 120,000 throughout the crisis and for three months after it .
Married couples filing jointly would receive $ 4,000 , and parents would get $ 2,000 per child for up to three children .
The plan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , D-Calif. , Sanders , I-Vt. , and Markey , D-Mass.

The U.S. lost a record 20.5 million jobs for the month as the unemployment rate spiked to 14.7 % — the highest level since the Great Depression .
The bill would try to iron out what critics called issues with the $ 1,200 direct payments to individuals included in the $ 2 trillion stimulus package passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would ensure “ every U.S. resident ” gets money , even if they have not filed a recent tax return or do not have a Social Security number .
It would also bar debt collectors from taking the relief money , and deliver payments to homeless and foster youth .
The proposal , which likely carries a hefty price tag , is unlikely to gain much traction in a Republican-held Senate growing increasingly wary of spending taxpayer money to blunt the health and economic damage created by the outbreak .
Even so , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congress considers how next to offer relief to Americans devastated by the pandemic .
( source ) This is not a good thing .
It will lead to hyperinflation .

Should the United States ‘ re-open ’ ?
This is a question that many people have right now , and as we have emphasized at Shoebat.com , there are many concerns about COVID-19 that are unanswered , and with more disinformation that information available , it is always a prudent choice to prefer caution to blind speed in any decision , for while the nation ’ s economy is important , it has been dead for a long time , and the lives of individual people are more important than making a profit .

President Donald Trump insists the American public is ready to see statewide coronavirus restrictions lifted , but recent polls suggest otherwise .
Sixty-eight percent of Americans worry their state governments are lifting COVID-19 restrictions too quickly , according to a poll by Pew Research Center .

As a new report from the Miami Herald notes, citing multiple polls across the political spectrum, almost two-thirds of Americans are concerned that state governments are rushing to “re-open” without having proper concern for the consequences of what may arise as a result of the virus.
President Donald Trump insists the American public is ready to see statewide coronavirus restrictions lifted, but recent polls suggest otherwise. Sixty-eight percent of Americans worry their state governments are lifting COVID-19 restrictions too quickly, according to a poll by Pew Research Center. Pew polled nearly 11,000 U.S. adults in their survey, with the results showing a 2% increase in worried Americans from a poll it conducted in early April. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points. The findings are similar to a poll conducted by Navigator Research, which polled 10,000 people this week. Its findings show 60% of Americans say they worry social distancing will end too soon, “endangering the economy and putting American lives at risk.” A third of Americans said they are concerned that “social distancing will go on too long and cause unnecessary damage to the economy and Americans’ livelihoods,” according to that same poll. Eight percent were not sure which concerns them more. “People want to go back. You’re going to have a problem if you don’t,” Trump said Wednesday. “If you don’t do it, you’ve got a very big problem.” Pew’s poll shows just 31% of people feel their states are not lifting restrictions quickly enough. Similarly, The Economist and YouGov polled 1,500 Americans earlier this month and determined 11% of adults feel it’s safe to end social distancing measures and reopen businesses as normal. Seventy-five percent of people polled felt it was very or somewhat likely that reopened states will see an increase in coronavirus cases. (source)
