Years ago, there was a very famous comedy sketch from the British troupe Monty Python. The skit involved a man who sold a dead parrot to a customer, and then tried to deny it when the purchaser attempted to return the dead bird’s corpse.
In interesting news, simply for the sake of some levity (as there has been such a dreadful outpouring of stories for several months now), somebody actually attempted to do this in Canada- to sell a bird with a fatal disease to a customer and deny it, and the vendor lost.
According to the Civil Resolution Tribunal decision, Michael Davy said he noticed the parrot — Tiberius — was missing a few tail feathers when he bought it but was told the bird was only “molting and had clipped wings but was otherwise healthy.” But to paraphrase one of the British comedy troupe’s most beloved sketches, in which an irate customer confronts a shopkeeper who sold him a dead parrot — the plumage didn’t enter into it. Tiberius should have had a life expectancy of up to 40 years. Davy soon learned he had a fatal disease and — in fact — faced the prospect of becoming an ex-parrot in a just a fraction of that time. “I find that there was an implied warranty in the parties’ contract that Tiberius would be healthy for at least six months,” wrote tribunal member Julie Gibson. “Instead, Tiberius became very ill within weeks of the applicant’s purchase.” ‘He thought this was due to molting’ The namesake of a Roman emperor and general, Tiberius is an Eclectus parrot — a popular bird whose males are known for their bright green feathers. Experts say the breed’s pensive manner can lead to the misapprehension that the Eclectus is “dim-witted.” But according to the ruling, Davy noticed something more than just a little off with Tiberius in September 2019, weeks after bringing him home. And he wasn’t just pining for the fjords. (source)

According to CNBC, a recent study from the CDC found that 3% of all meatpacking workers have contracted the virus.
About 3% of workers in over 100 meat processing plants have tested positive for the coronavirus as conditions allow the virus to spread rapidly and low-wage workers are incentivized to continue going to work, a new study released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. More infected workers were found in plants that tested more broadly for the virus, the CDC researchers said, warning that testing limitations could mean that the count is low. The researchers aggregated data from 115 meat and poultry processing plants across 19 states between April 9 and April 27. “As part of the national COVID-19 response, the recognized risk to meat and poultry facility operation requires prompt action to decrease risks to workers, preserve facility function, and maintain the food supply,” the researchers said. Covid-19 has spread more rapidly in meat processing plants than in other settings because the nature of the job. On production lines, it is difficult to separate workers by 6 feet or more, the researchers said. The physical toll of the work being done inside the plants makes it difficult for workers to wear masks, the researchers said, adding that some of the surveyed plants have struggled to implement heightened disinfecting protocols.

Would you want somebody with this illness handling your food? It would be a terrible idea to suggest this.
As such, would you want to play Russian routlette with a gun where 3% of the chambers were loaded? that would also be insane. It is a gamble with death.
So if 3% of all workers are infected, does it not seem to be a good idea to shut down, wait for the illness to pass, and then resume economic activity? Profits are important but people are always more important. This is not just the people who work in the facilities, but the customers who will handle, purchase, and consume the products, as they will also be exposed to potential illness.
The economic problems existed before the virus. The virus only is exposing what was already there. It is too late to fix what happened, but rather it is more important to deal with the situation as it is, which means looking out for the public safety of all.

Regardless of what one thinks of Biden , it is undeniable that he has a long history of behaviors that seem to be objectively creepy towards women .
One can see this with his many statements and behaviors .
However , in what may be his most drastic and serious statement yet , Biden issued a statement denying sexual assault allegations made by former staffer Tara Reade , who claims Biden digitally penetrated her against her wishes back in the early 1990s .
Biden says the alleged assault “ never happened ” and that his papers at the University of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Medium.com reports .

So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true .
This never happened .
While the details of these allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault are complicated , two things are not complicated .
One is that women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect , and when they step forward they should be heard , not silenced .
The second is that their stories should be subject to appropriate inquiry and scrutiny .

She has said she raised some of these issues with her supervisor and senior staffers from my office at the time .
They – both men and a woman – have said , unequivocally , that she never came to them and complained or raised issues .

Indeed , many of them spoke to the culture of an office that would not have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indeed I would not have .
( source ) The problem with this is that the claim has been made by Reade for years .
She has gone public with this before , and unlike other allegations , these seem to be verifiable .
Biden is in a lot of hot water .
Indeed , if it is true that Biden is being set up to fail , that such allegations would have to be revealed now , at such a crucial time in politics , speaks not eve to the veracity of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s support seems to be among the people , for if Trump is concerned about losing to a senile , demented old man with a history of sexual assault , how confident can he feel that the public actually supports him ?

While the saying “ demographics is destiny ” is often used by those with racial or nationalistic impulses , it is also a very true statement .

shoebat--2020-05-02--Sodomite Parents Are Upset Their Children Are Angry At Them

The sin of sodom is one that cries out to Heaven for the vengeance and wrath of God as the Old Testament makes clear .
It was so horrible that the evil city of Sodom and her sister places on the plains of Middle Ghor were destroyed as sign for all time as to the evil of this sin .
In modern times , where the sin of Sodom has become popular , it is common for sodomites to try to raise children .
Many of these children do not like it because they know that something is extremely wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against their parents over their behavior .
Now in a story from BuzzFeed , sodomite parents are upset that their children are “ abusing ” them for hating them over their evil behaviors .
LGBT parents are suffering homophobic and transphobic abuse from their own children during the lockdown , a charity has revealed — while young LGBT people are being thrown out onto the street by parents who discover their child ’ s sexuality or gender identity .
While homelessness cause .
by anti-LGBT rejection is not new , the context within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is abuse from children directed at their own LGBT parents .
Teenagers who have never said such things before are now “ lashing out ” with hateful and abusive comments , Rachel Ellis from the LGBT Foundation told BuzzFeed News .
“ They ’ re trapped in the house , cooped up , and haven ’ t got anyone to let their frustrations out on except their parents , ” she said .
Some parents , who have already experienced significant prejudice outside the home , are now blaming themselves for what is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why .
Despite years of casework , Ellis had never encountered this phenomenon before the lockdown .
But , she said , “ it ’ s something I ’ m seeing more and more in the past month ” .
And that is just the start .
In a series of interviews with BuzzFeed News , organisations that help LGBT victims of domestic abuse , as well as a recent survivor of abuse , warn of an array of new dangers this community is facing under lockdown .
The charities said the threats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distinct from the general population , often detonating the intolerance that might normally lie dormant .
As a result , LGBT people are now at escalated risk of violence , hate crimes , grooming , and in particular , homelessness , they warned .
“ You ’ re dead to me , ” were the last words one girl heard last week as her clothes were stuffed into bin-bags and thrown into the road , a youth worker from the Albert Kennedy Trust told BuzzFeed News .

A child who tells his parents to go to the place that God sent the city of Sodom and the plains to thousands of years ago for the sake of Justice , or the sodomites who insist on living in unnatural unions where disease spreads and in addition to the absolute moral culpability which they incur also have high rates of abusing children and teenagers ?
Masturbating into another man ’ s anus is degenerate and evil .
Women are not meant to be with women , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with men .
The opposites were meant for each other as is visible through the natural order .
The sodomites are akin to those who insist on using all means available to fight gravity , for no matter what actions are taken , the reality must inevitably persevere through .

The problem is the sodomites and their immoral , unnatural , disgusting behavior that causes permanent bodily harms and transmits some of the most dangerous diseases know to man .

Masturbating into another man’s anus is degenerate and evil. Women are not meant to be with women, and men are not meant to be with men. The opposites were meant for each other as is visible through the natural order. The sodomites are akin to those who insist on using all means available to fight gravity, for no matter what actions are taken, the reality must inevitably persevere through.
Their children are not the problem. The problem is the sodomites and their immoral, unnatural, disgusting behavior that causes permanent bodily harms and transmits some of the most dangerous diseases know to man. Their children rebelling against them, whether they know it or not, is a cry for justice which the sodomites refuse to heed even as the firey meteors of sulfur and brimstone streak through the sky.

The COVID-19 crises is escalating into a global financial crises in which the poorer southern European countries will be the most devastated, especially Greece. With the EU wanting to put these countries deeper into debt, could we one day see the disintegration of the EU? If this happens, count the days for the next world war:

shoebat--2020-05-02--Trump Sends Thousands Of Sick Meatpacking Workers Back On The Job Into Disease-Prone Facilities

President Trump recently signed an executive order forcing meatpacking facilities open amid the COVID-19 coroanvirus pandemic Bloomberg reports by way of Zero Hedge .
As a crisis in processing unfolds across America ’ s meatpacking facilities , President Trump earlier this week invoked the Defense Production Act to ensure plants remain open .
Last week , we noted how a “ rash of coronavirus outbreaks at dozens of meatpacking plants across the nation is far more extensive than previously thought , ” which led us to believe the next big issue was the breakdown of complex food supply chain networks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warned in a full-page ad in the New York Times on Sunday that said , the “ food supply chain is breaking.
” Now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) has released a new report detailing virus infections and deaths at plants , the conclusion : thousands sick and nearly two dozen dead , reported Bloomberg .
The fast-spreading virus infected 4,900 workers and left 20 dead at 115 meatpacking plants across 19 states , according to CDC data from April 9-27 .
As we have previously warned , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forced to shut down after outbreaks were reported .
The CDC said there had been many challenges in mitigating the spread at processing plants .
With President Trump ’ s executive order , meat processing plants will have to remain open .
There are already some reports indicating that a plant or two could come back online in the first week of May .
Keeping plants open during a worsening of the pandemic could be a recipe for disaster , as it appears this is the sacrifice that corporate America and the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shortages .

“ The president ’ s executive order will only ensure that more workers get sick , jeopardizing lives , family income , communities , and , of course , the country ’ s food supply chain , ” said Kim Cordova , leader of the local United Food and Commercial Workers International Union chapter , which represents 3,000 workers at the JBS SA beef plant in Greeley , Colorado .
She said the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the current supply issues developing .

However , as I have said before , meat prices can go up , even significantly in the US , and people will not starve because the US is a major net food exporter .

Now in fairness to Trump , he is not saying ‘ you sick people with COVID-19 , get back to work.
’ The problem is that given the American corporate mentality- something which Trump knows as a businessman in the US -is that corporations will force the sick to go back to work citing this law and if they don ’ t they will threaten to fire them and will fire them and then cite their ‘ legal ’ reason for doing this .
What is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He does not want to lose his job , but he also has to get better .

This is not out of malice , but the forced necessity of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a massive spread of COVID-19 among not just workers , but in the physical meat supply itself .
This would be an utter disaster , but what else is one expected to do if there is no way that he can expect to make a living ?

President Trump recently signed an executive order forcing meatpacking facilities open amid the COVID-19 coroanvirus pandemic Bloomberg reports by way of Zero Hedge.
As a crisis in processing unfolds across America’s meatpacking facilities, President Trump earlier this week invoked the Defense Production Act to ensure plants remain open. Last week, we noted how a “rash of coronavirus outbreaks at dozens of meatpacking plants across the nation is far more extensive than previously thought,” which led us to believe the next big issue was the breakdown of complex food supply chain networks. That is precisely what Tyson Foods warned in a full-page ad in the New York Times on Sunday that said, the “food supply chain is breaking.” Now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a new report detailing virus infections and deaths at plants, the conclusion: thousands sick and nearly two dozen dead, reported Bloomberg.
The fast-spreading virus infected 4,900 workers and left 20 dead at 115 meatpacking plants across 19 states, according to CDC data from April 9-27. As we have previously warned, at least 12 major plants have been forced to shut down after outbreaks were reported. The CDC said there had been many challenges in mitigating the spread at processing plants. With President Trump’s executive order, meat processing plants will have to remain open. There are already some reports indicating that a plant or two could come back online in the first week of May. Keeping plants open during a worsening of the pandemic could be a recipe for disaster, as it appears this is the sacrifice that corporate America and the government are willing to make to prevent food shortages. Already, meat shortages are expected to hit grocery stores in the first half of May. “The president’s executive order will only ensure that more workers get sick, jeopardizing lives, family income, communities, and, of course, the country’s food supply chain,” said Kim Cordova, leader of the local United Food and Commercial Workers International Union chapter, which represents 3,000 workers at the JBS SA beef plant in Greeley, Colorado. She said the president’s executive order is no solution to the current supply issues developing. (source)
It is true that meatpacking is an important industry. However, as I have said before, meat prices can go up, even significantly in the US, and people will not starve because the US is a major net food exporter. It is countries around the world that rely on the US for her meat by way of imports that will be most affected, the worst of which is China, since she depends on US pork and soy (even as she is trying to divest herself of both).
Now in fairness to Trump, he is not saying ‘you sick people with COVID-19, get back to work.’ The problem is that given the American corporate mentality- something which Trump knows as a businessman in the US -is that corporations will force the sick to go back to work citing this law and if they don’t they will threaten to fire them and will fire them and then cite their ‘legal’ reason for doing this.
What is a poor meatpacking worker to do? He does not want to lose his job, but he also has to get better. He will, like most poor Americans, continue to work even if he is sick and will hide the illness because he has to live and pay his bills lest he is forced to utter poverty and financial destruction. As a result of this, he will unintentionally spread illness to not only co-workers, but potentially into the meat supply. This is not out of malice, but the forced necessity of returning to work.
The result could be a massive spread of COVID-19 among not just workers, but in the physical meat supply itself. This would be an utter disaster, but what else is one expected to do if there is no way that he can expect to make a living?
The problem is not the worker. It is rather the short-sighted and highly selfish thinking patterns of corporate America that have destroyed not only the ability of the people to engage in commerce, but to make healthy decisions for the long-term good of all.
Trump is not “helping America” here. He is rather perpetuating the conditions for illness that if it does begin to spread will be blamed on him not just now, but in the future, just as how he is likely going to go down as the president whose actions resulted in the bankruptcy of the American Empire, for far from making America ‘great’ again, his actions are making her broke and sick.
Nobody likes the economic shutdown that has been forced to take place, but forced is absolutely right and appropriate because pandemics happen and the sure way to stop them is to wait until it passes and then resume normal life. This is a fact of history repeated across many cultures, and simply because the US insisted upon trying to rob her people of as much wealth as possible in the name of ‘democracy’, ‘freedom’, ‘business’, ‘free markets’, ‘capitalism’, and many other forms of rhetoric does not change facts of history or life.
It will be interesting to see how COVID-19 spreads as a result of this decision, and what the economic and political consequences will be. Likewise, it is also a good time to consider buying chickens from a local butcher who sources for local farms, and to in general consume less meat, for one does not want to risk accidentally contracting this virus because one wanted a chicken sandwich.

shoebat--2020-05-02--What Happens When Machines Think For Us?

According to Defense One , the possibility of a ‘ SkyNet ’ type system moves one step closer to reality as defense intelligence computers are taking a greater role to the point of even being able to ‘ think ’ for humans when it comes to making major military decisions .
“ Four analysts came up with four methodologies ; and the machine came up with two different methodologies and that was cool .
They all agreed that this particular ship was in the United States , ” he said .
So far , so good .
Humans and machines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The second phase of the experiment tested something different : conviction .
Would humans and machines be equally certain in their conclusions if less data were available ?
The experimenters severed the connection to the Automatic Identification System , or AIS , which tracks ships worldwide .
“ It ’ s pretty easy to find something if you have the AIS feed , because that ’ s going to tell you exactly where a ship is located in the world .
If we took that away , how does that change confidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get to the same end state ?
” In theory , with less data , the human analyst should be less certain in their conclusions , like the characters in WarGames .
After all , humans understand nuance and can conceptualize a wide variety of outcomes .
The researchers found the opposite .
“ Once we began to take away sources , everyone was left with the same source material — which was numerous reports , generally social media , open source kinds of things , or references to the ship being in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ access to the same data .
The difference was that the machine , and those responsible for doing the machine learning , took far less risk — in confidence — than the humans did , ” he said .
“ The machine actually does a better job of lowering its confidence than the humans do….There ’ s a little bit of humor in that because the machine still thinks they ’ re pretty right.
” The experiment provides a snapshot of how humans and AI will team for important analytical tasks .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limits when pride is involved .
( source ) Human beings are made of a body and a soul .
We can make decisions based on material value , but we are also able to deny ourselves and make decisions based on things of intrinsic value even if they are not the “ practical ” answer as a situation is determined .

It is something that separates him from the animals , who act on instinct and impulse for material needs .
When the US military talks about human and artificial intelligence collaboration , it should concern somebody because Americans have a long history of placing their faith into machines or tools as things which are “ better ” than humans .
While it is true that many tools are more effective than human efforts , the tendency is to discount the human in favor of the machine to the point where the machine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of man ruling the machine .
In a situation of military defense , this is very interesting because there are many decisions that have to be made in a battle that are quick and could have major consequences .

This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For good or for evil , the human is able to make decisions rooted in material needs and also outside of them .

Stocks have been seriously beat up by the COVID-19 crisis because most of the American economy is based on consumption, and when people stop consuming, money is not made and the economy suffers. Now according to a report from Business Insider, stock markets may take another major hit with a possible massive sell off in May.
Despite a deluge of atrocious economic data, the S&P 500 posted its best monthly increase since 1987, leaving many market participants scratching their heads in disbelief. But not all think the latest push upward has staying power.
Masanari Takada, a macro and quantitative strategist at Nomura, says trend-following strategies — commonly known as CTAs — are propping up the market in unsustainable fashion. And he sees a reckoning on the horizon as Nasdaq 100 futures linger above a key technical threshold.
“We think a key concern here is whether the Nasdaq 100 manages to hold the trigger line that we believe exists at around 8,180,” Takada said. “It appears that CTAs have put a stop to their accumulation of long positions in Nasdaq 100 futures.”
For reference, the Nasdaq traded around 8,700 on Friday, meaning it’s stayed above Nomura’s key technical threshold by a large margin. The chart below shows, however, that CTAs have put a hold on bullish positions in Nasdaq futures, suggesting the run may soon be over.
Takada ultimately thinks buying power may start to dwindle in the near future as much of the equity appreciation in April was attributed to these CTAs and trend-followers — which now represent a weak hand in the market.
“In terms of technical patterns, we think that CTAs may take another stab at chasing the market up starting around April 29, provided that the index stays above this line,” he said. That’s a situation that’s since transpired.
Takada continued: “However, if such an upside attempt were to fail to squeeze some investors out of shorts or convince others to stake out fresh longs, we would expect the buying pressure generated by these CTAs on their own in the US equity market to fizzle out on or around May 8.
“This would imply a need to brace for selling in tune with the ‘sell in May’ adage.” (source)

People are talking about a “food crisis” right now in the US, and even the western world. From what I have seen, there is no “food crisis”, but a political and business contract crisis that is being employed to drive up food prices so those who hold contracts for agricultural futures can make money. It’s not an actual crisis of starvation, but strictly a struggle for power between different groups for more power.
The Western world is not starving. Starving people will eat whatever they can. They do not get in their cars and drive to McDonalds to wait for hours to get a Big Mac. They are either dying and falling over from pain, or they are violently attacking people to get something to eat.
In fact, the real danger of this is the spread of COVID-19 accidentally through food preparation. As I have noted, the virus has been spreading rapidly, it is dangerous, and a lot of people have become very sick, suffered, and died from it. This is a pandemic, and the fact that one would value eating a Whopper instead of public safety is indicative of the attitude which most have.
There is a strong chance this virus could re-emerge in the fall. The uncaring and overall apathetic attitude to the virus and its spread is going to add to this danger.
The time to prepare, howver, is right now.
Instead of thinking about eating a Bic Mac, think about the ant and the grasshopper. The ant, for all purposes given the modern context, worked hard at getting supplies. The grasshopper, by comparison, saw the improving conditions and went over to McDonalds, munching on a Big Mac and living his life. When the pandemic re-emerged, the ant was ready, meanwhile the grasshopper was forced to fight with other grasshoppers at Wal-Mart over the last roll of toilet paper.
Hopefully it will not re-emerged, but one cannot assume that such will happen. Expect the virus to return later this year, and be prepared for it. Put down the Big Mac and pick up a bag of pasta, rice, or beans instead. It is more nutritious, will feed a man for much longer, and will be a lot more helpful for the future as commodity prices continue to rise and supply chains are manipulated for political ends as they are being so now.

It has been said that “ sunlight is the best disinfectant , ” and according to a report from Agence France-Presse as reported by Yahoo !

William Bryan , science and technology advisor to the Department of Homeland Security secretary , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government scientists had found ultraviolet rays had a potent impact on the pathogen , offering hope that its spread may ease over the summer .
“ Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus , both surfaces and in the air , ” he said .
“ We ’ ve seen a similar effect with both temperature and humidity as well , where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less favorable to the virus.

This is good news. It does NOT mean to let up on social distancing or quarantine, but it helps to improve things or at least, control them for a time.

In this way, the benefits of sunlight would be overshadowed by the selfishness of people, whose actions may end up creating a worse situation than what was before.

shoebat--2020-05-03--Slaughterhouse Robots Come To Slaughter Jobs

I have been warning for years that robotics will play a major role in the future by destroying jobs as humans are replaced by machines in the name of American efficiency and darwinism which is practiced by companies and elevated to an almost culturally sacred place in society .
Now according to Bloomberg Law and reported on also by Zero Hedge is the announcement that in light of the massive shutdown of meatpacking plants caused by COVID-19 , some companies are moving to use robots to prepare and process meat .
America ’ s meat processing crisis , mainly triggered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to coronavirus spread , is set to unleash a new wave of automation across plants to ease labor and health woes .
Bloomberg Law reports JBS SA , the world ’ s largest meat producer , is preparing to install robots in slaughterhouses to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among human employees working on the production line .
JBS SA CFO Guilherme Cavalcanti recently said the Brazilian processing company expects to expand automation at its facilities across the world .
Cavalcanti said the adoption of automation started before the pandemic as labor tightened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in immigration sparked by the Trump administration .
He said labor shortages have developed in the US as the virus infects workers and shutters plants .
( source ) The virus is not just slaughtering people , but as I have called it , the “ gift that keeps on giving ” , it is being used to slaughter jobs in the name of “ safety ” .
This does not help people , but it is going to make the job situation worse because those who are displaced from their replacement by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and with a continually expanding labor pool with a shrinking job markets , it is not going to get any easier to find work , resulting in an eventual economic crisis that will gravely enervate the US long-term and will not be able to be easily recoverable from in the future .

It Is Ramadan And The Saudi Government Declares That 70% Of People Living In Mecca, The Heart Of Islam, Have COVID-19

COVID-19 infections are exploding around the world .
In a report by Zero Hedge , a study has found that 70 % of residents in Mecca , the holy city of Islam and the center of the Islamic religion , have COVID-19 .
It is so bad that considering how millions of pilgrims come , hospitals are being set up just to deal with the pandemic .

A new report in Middle East Eye suggests nearly 70% of Mecca, or more than two million residents, has the virus based on recent rounds of broad testing, also amid the growing threat to the Saudi Royal family:

“The actual spread of the disease could be three to four times higher than the declared one,” an anonymous medical official was quoted as saying in the report. “Saudi health authorities expect the peak to be sometime in June.”
A month ago the kingdom tightened restrictions further in key cities, including the imposition of a strict 24-hour curfew on the pilgrimage cities of Mecca and Medina. This after a country-wide lockdown was issued starting March 25.
Since then hospitals have reportedly become “overwhelmed” according to several international reports.
