There are many questions about the so-called “ gay conversion therapy ” , but what matters more is the concept that people who have problems with sodomite behavior can be helped with psychological treatment .

Albania’s psychologists have banned so-called “conversion therapy”, which tries to change the sexual orientation of young LGBT people, a move hailed on Saturday by the country’s rights groups.

The crime is horrible , but it is a good thing that child sexual abuse cases in the Catholic Church , which were overwhelmingly committed by sodomites , were exposed so that the damage can be healed and life can continue on .
While many archbishops have been accused of harboring sodomite pedophiles , a report from Reuters states that the highest archbishop in Poland recently referred a sexual abuse case involving a bishop to the Vatican .
The Polish Catholic Church ’ s most senior archbishop notified the Vatican on Saturday of a Polish bishop accused of shielding priests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The referral , unprecedented in the deeply religious country , will test procedures introduced by the Vatican last year to hold to account bishops accused of turning a blind eye to child sex abuse .
The Vatican is now expected to assign an investigator to the case .

“ There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexually abuse minors .
We do not allow for the hiding of these crimes.
” The case came to prominence after a film by brothers Tomasz and Marek Sekielski , released on Saturday , showed how bishop Edward Janiak , based in the city of Kalisz , failed to take action against priests who were known to have abused children .
Janiak , who is still practicing , has not commented directly on the allegations .
He did not respond to a request for comment by Reuters .

shoebat--2020-05-16--New Study Suggests Chinese Creation As Origin Of COVID-19

Any talk about COVID-19 at this point is going to be highly politicized .
However , there is little doubt that the Wuhan laboratory in China was more than just accidentally connected to the virus .
According to Lifesitenews , a group of Australian scientists has released a study saying that the virus was man-made in the Wuhan laboratory and may have escaped by accident due to poor safety or sanitary procedures .
A team of Australian scientists has produced new evidence that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is optimized for penetration into human cells rather than animal cells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ randomly evolved in an animal subject before passing into human beings , and suggesting instead that it was developed in a laboratory .
The study , which has not yet been peer reviewed , provides new but not yet conclusive evidence favoring the theory that the novel coronavirus originated not in a food market as has been claimed , but rather in a laboratory , presumably one operated by the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan , China , the city in which the first outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in December of 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says that the results represent either “ a remarkable coincidence or a sign of human intervention ” in the creation of the virus .
The authors of the study , led by vaccine researcher Nikolai Petrovsky of Flinders University in Australia , used a version of the novel coronavirus collected in the earliest days of the outbreak and applied computer models to test its capacity to bind to certain cell receptor enzymes , called “ ACE2 , ” that allow the virus to infect human and animal cells to varying degrees of efficacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 virus ’ s spike protein , which it uses to enter cells , to bind to the human type of ACE2 as well as to many different animal versions of ACE2 , and found that the novel coronavirus most powerfully binds with human ACE2 , and with variously lesser degrees of effectiveness with animal versions of the receptor .
According to the study ’ s authors , this implies that the virus that causes COVID-19 did not come from an animal intermediary , but became specialized for human cell penetration by living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a laboratory .
The authors write that “ this finding is particularly surprising as , typically , a virus would be expected to have highest affinity for the receptor in its original host species , e.g .
bat , with a lower initial binding affinity for the receptor of any new host , e.g .
humans .
However , in this case , the affinity of SARS-CoV-2 is higher for humans than for the putative original host species , bats , or for any potential intermediary host species.
” As a consequence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which still can not be excluded is that SARSCoV-2 was created by a recombination event that occurred inadvertently or consciously in a laboratory handling coronaviruses , with the new virus then accidentally released into the local human population.
” In a separate public statement about the research made by Prof. Petrovsky on April 17 , the researcher notes that the results of his study are either “ a remarkable coincidence or a sign of human intervention , ” and adds that it is “ entirely plausible that the virus was created in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cells expressing human ACE2 , a laboratory that was known to be cultivating exotic bat coronaviruses at the time.
” “ If so the cultured virus could have escaped the facility either through accidental infection of a staff member who then visited the fish market several blocks away and there infected others , or by inappropriate disposal of waste from the facility that either infected humans outside the facility directly or via a susceptible vector such as a stray cat that then frequented the market and resulted in transmission there to humans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that other possibilities exist , but regard them as improbable .
They found that the novel coronavirus has a strong , but lesser binding effect on the ACE2 receptor of Pangolins , which are mammals eaten in China as a delicacy which has often been proposed as the intermediary of the novel coronavirus between bats and humans .
However , they note that the Pangolin doesn ’ t offer a reasonable candidate for an intermediate species for human transmission , because “ given the higher affinity of [ the novel coronavirus ] SARS-CoV-2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , SARS-CoV-2 would have to have circulated in pangolins for a long period of time for this evolution and selection to occur and to date there is no evidence of a SARS-CoV-2 like virus circulating in pangolins.

Yesterday , Shoebat.com warned that the Democrats would likely pass a $ 3 trillion dollar “ stimulus ” bill of handouts to the public .
AP News reports that the bill has since passed .
Democrats have powered a massive $ 3 trillion coronavirus relief bill through the House , an election-year measure designed to brace a U.S. economy in free fall and a health care system struggling to contain a pandemic still pummeling the country .

It would deliver almost $ 1 trillion for state and local governments , another round of $ 1,200 direct payments to individuals and help for the unemployed , renters and homeowners , college debt holders and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to act now is not only irresponsible in a humanitarian way , it is irresponsible because it ’ s only going to cost more , ” warned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif. “ More in terms of lives , livelihood , cost to the budget , cost to our democracy.

All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means giving people what they want .
The public figured out they could “ vote ” themselves the public treasury .
Trump gave it to them with the COVID-19 stimulus bill .
If a Republican votes against this- considering that almost a third of the country is out of work -any Democrat with a single brain cell will say to his Republican opponent this fall , which is also the year of a Presidential elections , “ THIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT OF MINE ( insert name ) VOTED AGAINST A BILL THAT WOULD HELP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Politics is not nor as it ever been “ reasonable ” .
It is about emotions , demographics , and perception .

If a Republican votes against this- considering that almost a third of the country is out of work -any Democrat with a single brain cell will say to his Republican opponent this fall, which is also the year of a Presidential elections, “THIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT OF MINE (insert name) VOTED AGAINST A BILL THAT WOULD HELP STRUGGLING AMERICAN FAMILIES IN NEED”.
Politics is not nor as it ever been “reasonable”. It is about emotions, demographics, and perception.
Does a Republican want to seriously risk losing in the fall over a bill when they already vote themselves the public treasury anyways?
It will be interesting to see how the Republicans respond, and based on their response, what the Democrat advertisements for various political candidates will be this fall.

CNBC reports now that President Trump claims to be taking hydroxychloroquine to ward off the effects of COVID-19 .
President Donald Trump said Monday that he has been taking anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for over a week to prevent coronavirus infection even though it is not yet a proven treatment .
“ I happen to be taking it , ” Trump said during a roundtable event at the White House .
“ A lot of good things have come out .
You ’ d be surprised at how many people are taking it , especially the front-line workers .
Before you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many , many are taking it.

73% of Germans have a negative of the United States because of the coronavirus crisis as we read in Reuters:
Germans view the United States less positively since the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis while their attitudes towards China have improved, a survey showed on Monday.
In the poll of 1,000 Germans conducted by Kantar Public for the Koerber Foundation, 73% stated their opinion about the United States had deteriorated due to the current health crisis.
This contrasted with 36% of respondents who said their views about China, where the new coronavirus was discovered late last year, had become more negative due to the pandemic.

If this prediction sounds like what happened during the Great Depression, that is correct, because what we are experiencing right now is not a “Great Depression”, but a “Greater Depression” that is and will by the time it has passed dwarf the Great Depression of the 1930s because there is far more financial exposure now than at any time in world history. The US is a giant, but as “the bigger they come, the harder they fall”, the fall of US financial power- engineered or accidental -will be catastrophic for many.
Try to help your neighbors and those who are suffering.
At the same time, make preparations for your own households. Work as much and as hard as possible, save money, pay down debts, and prepare for the future. Things are going to get very, very, very ugly, but those who work hard, who strategize, and who can plan for the future will not only survive, but likely come out richer and better off than that majority of people.

“They came to kill the mothers” were the words of Frederic Bonnot, the head of Doctors Without Borders in Afghanistan, when he spoke about how Islamic terrorists entered a maternity ward and murdered mothers on their beds and even butchered two newborns. The AP reported on this horrifying story:
A U.S. official said Friday the Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan carried out this week’s horrific attack on a maternity hospital in a majority Shiite Muslim neighborhood in Kabul, killing 24 people including newborn babies and mothers.
Peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said the U.S. government believes the Islamic State affiliate carried out Tuesday’s attack on the hospital and an assault earlier the same day in a different province targeting the funeral of a pro-government warlord killing 34 people.
ISIS-K “has demonstrated a pattern for favoring these types of heinous attacks against civilians and is a threat to the Afghan people and to the world,” Khalilzad tweeted.
ISIS-K has not claimed responsibility for the maternity hospital attack.
Also on Friday, Paris-based charity Doctors without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), which operates the hospital, called the attack “pure hell.” It said the gunmen moved directly to the maternity wards, ignoring other medical units closer to the entrance of the medical complex. They were searching out the newborns and the mothers, the group said in a statement Friday.
“They went through the rooms in the maternity, shooting women in their beds. It was methodical. Walls sprayed with bullets, blood on the floors in the rooms, vehicles burnt out and windows shot through,” said Frederic Bonnot, MSF’s head of programs in Afghanistan. “They came to kill the mothers.”
The IS affiliate in Afghanistan, known as Islamic State Khorazan Province, is headquartered in the country’s east and has carried out several devastating attacks, mostly targeting the country’s minority Shiite Muslims.

shoebat--2020-05-19--Americans Are Turning In Mass Against China

One of the results of COVID-19 that we and many others suspected would pass is a growing hatred of China and her isolation in the eyes of Americans .
According to studies reported on by Bloomberg , such is passing now with 40 % of people saying they will not purchase Chinese products and a majority finding China to be untrustworthy and in need of trade restrictions .
It ’ s not quite a new Cold War yet .
Just the cold shoulder .
Some 40 % of Americans said they won ’ t buy products from China , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May 12-14 by Washington-based FTI Consulting , a business advisory firm .
That compares with 22 % who say they won ’ t buy from India , 17 % who refuse to purchase from Mexico and 12 % who boycott goods from Europe .
55 % don ’ t think China can be trusted to follow through on its trade-deal commitments signed in January to buy more U.S. products 78 % percent said they ’ d be willing to pay more for products if the company that made them moved manufacturing out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ import restrictions over the pursuit of free-trade deals as a better way to boost the U.S. economy For observers of trade policy , that last point is striking because a large majority in the U.S. have traditionally shunned protectionism .
