China Prevents PPE Exports To The US

China has a history of doing things with a short-term vision that have long-term negative consequences for her .
A recent story from the New York Post illustrates this as China is now preventing PPE exports to the US .
China ’ s Communist Party is again seizing factory lines churning out the world ’ s supply of medical safety gear — sparking fears the country is preparing for a second wave of the coronavirus , American traders in China told The Post .
New Yorker Moshe Malamud , who has done business in China for over two decades , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of protective gear to the US at the height of the crisis but said suppliers in recent weeks had been overwhelmed with orders from the Chinese government .

He said he heard a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

China has a history of doing things with a short-term vision that have long-term negative consequences for her. A recent story from the New York Post illustrates this as China is now preventing PPE exports to the US.
China’s Communist Party is again seizing factory lines churning out the world’s supply of medical safety gear — sparking fears the country is preparing for a second wave of the coronavirus, American traders in China told The Post.
New Yorker Moshe Malamud, who has done business in China for over two decades, was moving tens of millions of pieces of protective gear to the US at the height of the crisis but said suppliers in recent weeks had been overwhelmed with orders from the Chinese government.
“I was placing a larger order with one of the bigger distributors and he tells me, ‘I can complete this order but after this we’ve been contracted by the Chinese government to produce 250 million gowns,’” said Malamud, who lived in China for a decade before founding aviation company M2Jets.
He said he heard a similar story about another manufacturer making thermometers.
“We hear how China is up and running and the virus is past them, so I asked, ‘What are they ordering 250 million gowns for?’ and of course no one is talking.”
“I’ve been hearing this a lot from other manufacturing institutions that say, ‘We can give you a little bit, but basically we’re concentrated between now and the end of the summer manufacturing stuff for the Chinese government in anticipation of a second wave,’” he continued.
Last month, leading US manufacturers of medical safety gear told the White House that China had prohibited them from exporting goods as the crisis mounted, a Post report revealed.
A leaked Department of Homeland Security intelligence report also concluded China downplayed the severity of the virus to stockpile medical supplies needed to fight the outbreak.
One senior White House official told The Post they were concerned PPE would be used as a “blackmail tool,” with China wielding its manufacturing power to alter foreign policy decisions.
The warning comes after China’s top medical adviser this week told CNN he feared a second wave of COVID-19, with fresh clusters emerging in different parts of the country.
Michael Kule, founder of Hong Kong-based AFA Sourcing, said it had been “very challenging” to get goods out of China, citing constantly changing export rules, but added he didn’t believe Chinese authorities were doing it out of malice.
“I don’t feel like the Chinese government is making an attempt to not get goods to the American public,” Kule said. “I do think that they are looking out for themselves so that if they need something, they’re going to get first priority.”
“If there’s a very good factory making very good product, then they’ll take over. I’ve been involved with a factory that the Chinese government placed 200 million pieces with and now I can’t place any more orders.”
“It was a really good set-up and they said, ‘Sorry, no more orders. Go find another factory.’”
Kule and Malamud said they were still getting materials out of China, citing their decades of experience in the region, but were both shocked by the rush from inexperienced opportunists who had been price gouging desperate hospitals by marking up medical materials by up to 300 percent.
Both men sounded the alarm over a US overreliance on China for essential goods and said the Trump administration would be smart to diversify.
“Why wouldn’t the White House bring in people who do this for a living, who are experts in sourcing and manufacturing, and come up with a strategy of how we’re going to manufacture this stuff, not just in China but in Bangladesh, in Africa, in the Caribbean, in Honduras and Vietnam?” Malamud asked.

Worse Than Communism: 20% Of Chinese University Students Identify As Sodomites And The Public Supports Sodomite “Marriage”

Communism is not a good thing .
However , what is worse that Communism- a political choice -is the willing embrace of sin , and especially sins that “ cry out to Heaven for vengeance ” because morality is the foundation that all societies are based upon .
In is of interest that Gay Star News , a major sodomite publication , has reported on a study which found that 20 % of Chinese college students in China today identify as sodomites and a majority of the public supports sodomite marriage .
The research asked 54,580 college students from 1,764 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And 8.92 % said they are bisexual , 4.58 % gay , 1.22 % pansexual , 0.6 % asexual , and 0.94 % another sexuality .
Meanwhile just 77.28 % are heterosexual and 6.46 % are not sure .
It is a further indication that attitudes are shifting towards LGBT+ people in China , particularly among young people .
In particular , LGBT+ campaigners have welcomed the ‘ tips ’ given to students alongside the results of the study .
They say ( translated ) : ‘ Sexual attraction is impacted by numerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orientation .
This is a normal phenomenon .
‘ Every individual ’ s social gender and their choice of intimate partner/relationship is unique , and every individual has the right to make their own life choices and to be respected .
‘ Everyone needs to work hard to strive for a diverse , equal and accepting world.

Nearly 200,000 Chinese people sent feedback in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them made the same proposal : legalize same-sex marriage .
By recognizing and publicizing the result , Chinese officials gave LGBT+ campaigners hope they are now more sympathetic to marriage equality .
Officials in the past have opposed same-sex marriage .
Moreover , in December , Chinese news site ifeng.com polled 10million people .
It found 66 % of the respondents favored legalizing same-sex marriage .

Just look at Poland .

China ?

When “ Jane Roe ” , also known as Norma McCorvey , became “ pro-life ” it was considered to be a major success .

This is a major scandal for the “pro-life” movement. What is so interesting about it, is how nobody seems in the movement to have known about this.
I find it very difficult to believe that the pro-life movement didn’t know this was all an act, especially at the top leadership.
Ted, Walid, and I speak from experience at Shoebat.com in the anti-Islam movement. We all believe in our positions about Islam as it is a objective evil and have not changed because our concern is for the proper moral teaching about the matter. However, as we found out, to our absolute horror, those involved in major leadership positions in the movement, such as with funding and politics, never seem to have really believed in the cause save as a lever to promote nationalism, racism, and eugenics, which are things we are horrified at, have never believed in, and have always advocated against, for the problem of Islam is not solved by mass murder as man is made in the image and likeness of God and has the ability to make free-will choices.
That is why we formally denounced the counter-jihad movement, since we found that it was a den of vipers.
The question therefore is the same- did somebody know in the pro-life movement this was all a fraud?
Certainly a lot of good people- honest, genuine, serious, hard-working, and even some high-ranking people -were deceived.
But was everybody ignorant of this? It is very difficult to believe.
This is the scandal of a lot of these political movements. She seems to have acted not upon principle, but just for her own benefit, and given her history of sodomitic behavior, likely just continued on taking people’s money without any care for the welfare of the movement. In other words, she acted no different than a common politicians, switching positions as it was convenient for her wallet.
The movie will be a “black eye” to the pro-life movement, but it also exposes another reality, which is that the movement has been largely not effective in stopping the abortion movement as support for the horrendous practice has only increased.
There is a story that seems to be relevant here.
For centuries, Moslem pirates terrorized the Mediterranean coastlines by taking slaves from Europe. Catholic monks ransomed many people from slavery, buying them out for centuries with religious orders such as the Mercedarians and Trinitarians, but it never stopped. The only thing that stopped the abhorrent practice was when in 1805, the United States sent a new tactical force that could fight by “land and sea” to storm the last major area where most of the slave piracy was coming from, and forced at gunpoint the Bey of Tripoli to end his actions.
The practice still continued, but was dead by the 1870s in the Mediterranean.
It is true that abortion is a human problem, but the prevalence of abortion in American society has increased. If people will not stop advocating for the murder of babies by their own power, what else must be done? Will it take force in some form to be physically applied against people who participate in such practices to end the mass murder of babies, be it from within or without of the country? For God will not be mocked, and if the willful murder of the innocent is a sin that “cries out to Heaven for vengeance”, what does it say if America does not stop with this evil but continues and worsens it over time, let alone all of the other ones that she already commits as a common practice?
It is something to think about, and another reason not to place one’s trust in political movements.

A lot of the focus for COVID-19 has been on the US , Europe , and China .

A lot of the focus for COVID-19 has been on the US, Europe, and China. However, Latin America is rapidly becoming another major COVID-19 hot spot with Brazil at the center and both Mexico and Peru catching up as the disease spreads mercilessly throughout Central and South America.
The coronavirus pandemic accelerated across Latin America on Friday, bringing a surge of new infections and deaths, even as curves flattened and reopening was underway in much of Europe, Asia and the United States.
The region’s two largest nations — Mexico and Brazil — reported record counts of new cases and deaths almost daily this week, fueling criticism of their presidents, who have slow-walked shutdowns in attempts to limit economic damage.
Brazil reported more than 20,000 deaths and 300,000 confirmed cases, making it the third worst-hit country in the world by official counts. Experts consider both numbers undercounts due to the widespread lack of testing.
The virus “does not forgive. It does not choose race or if you are rich or poor, black or white. It’s a cruel disease,” Bruno Almeida de Mello, a 24-year-old Uber driver, said at his 66-year-old grandmother’s burial in Rio de Janeiro.

Many experts said the rising death toll across Latin America showed the limits of government action in a region where millions labor in informal jobs and many police forces are weak or corrupt and unable to enforce restrictions.
Many governments — even those where the virus is still on the rise — say they must shift their focus to saving jobs that are vanishing as quickly as the disease can spread. In the United States and China, the world’s two largest economies, unemployment is soaring.

Racial tensions are commonly used to exploit people and are used by both political parties. But in perhaps the most egregious example of this yet, Democrat Presidential Nominee Joe Biden just declared that black people “ain’t black” if the support President Trump as CBS News declares.
Joe Biden defended his legislative record in an often contentious Friday morning interview with Charlamagne The God, the host of the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club,” and argued that his presidential campaign was doing enough to reach out to black voters. At one point, Biden argued that black voters undecided on whether to vote for him or for President Trump “ain’t black.”
When Charlamagne asked him about comments from the rapper Sean Combs, who performs as Diddy, that Democrats take black voters for granted, Biden noted that he had won overwhelmingly in the South Carolina primary.
“I kicked everybody’s — excuse me,” Biden said, catching himself before he cursed.
“I need you to say that!” Charlamagne replied.
“I won every single county. I won the largest share of the black vote that anybody had, including Barack,” Biden continued, noting that his home state of Delaware has the eighth largest black population in the country. “They’re the folks that, as they say up my way, brung me to the dance. That’s how I get elected every single time.”
Biden also defended his support for the 1994 crime bill which implemented harsher penalties for minor drug offenses, and which exacerbated mass incarceration, affecting poor black communities in particular.
“The crime bill didn’t increase mass incarceration, other things increased mass incarceration,” Biden argued, noting that the Congressional Black Caucus at the time supported the bill. (source)


shoebat--2020-05-22--New Study Declares That In Spite Of What Trump Says, Hydroxychloroquine Does NOT Stop COVID-19

In a continuing trend of the politicization of science , some people do not look to medical studies , but to President Trump as an authority on medicines such as hydroxychloroquine .
However , AFP reports by way of Yahoo !
News that a new study has found that hydroxychloroquine does not help at all with COVID-19 save to raise the risk of death .
A study of nearly 100,000 coronavirus patients has shown no benefit in treating them with anti-viral drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine and even increased the likelihood of them dying in hospital .
Hydroxychloroquine is normally used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ figures including US President Donald Trump — who announced this week he is taking the drug — has prompted governments to bulk buy the medicine .
Chloroquine is an anti-malarial .
Both drugs can produce potentially serious side effects , particularly heart arrhythmia .
And neither drug benefitted patients hospitalised with COVID-19 , according to a study published on Friday in The Lancet .
Looking at the records of 96,000 patients across hundreds of hospitals , they found that administering the drugs actually increased the risk of dying .
They compared outcomes from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alone , with chloroquine alone , and then two groups given the respective drugs in combination with antibiotics .
There was also a control group of patients not given these treatments .
At the end of the study period around nine percent of those in the control group had died .
Of those treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine alone , 18 percent and 16.4 percent respectively had died .
And those given each drug in combination with antibiotics were even more likely to die : 22.8 percent with chloroquine and 23.8 percent with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drugs put patients at up to 45 percent higher risk of dying from COVID-19 compared with underlying health issues .
“ Treatment with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine does not benefit patients with COVID-19 , ” said Mandeep Mehra , lead author of the study and executive director of the Brigham and Women ’ s Hospital Center for Advanced Heart Disease in Boston .
“ Instead , our findings suggest it may be associated with an increased risk of serious heart problems and increased risk of death.
” Despite Trump ’ s enthusiasm for using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government ’ s Food and Drug Administration warns against it .
Brazil ’ s health minister on Wednesday recommended using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat even mild COVID-19 cases .

“ We now know from our study that the chance that these medications improve outcomes in COVID-19 is quite low.

And neither drug benefitted patients hospitalised with COVID-19, according to a study published on Friday in The Lancet.
Looking at the records of 96,000 patients across hundreds of hospitals, they found that administering the drugs actually increased the risk of dying.
They compared outcomes from four groups: those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone, with chloroquine alone, and then two groups given the respective drugs in combination with antibiotics.
There was also a control group of patients not given these treatments.
At the end of the study period around nine percent of those in the control group had died.

For years, it has been noted that Saudi Arabia has been involved in terrorism and all kinds of activity that is directly harmful to the US and her people. However, instead of invading Saudi Arabia- something that could be easily accomplished -the US has invaded and destroyed the nations of Afghanistan and Iraq. This has taken place while the US has continued to sell weapons to the Saudis, even with the knowledge that the kingdom is committing genocide against the Yemenis.
In another blatant act that some have noted is also legally questionable, CNN reports that the US is moving forward with selling $8 billion USD of weapons to Saudi Arabia.

A recent story from Asia News reports that several Russian Orthodox Bishops have been suspended after photos of them have been released , circulating on social media , of them drunk , naked , and involved in sodomy .
Without even waiting for the verdict of the ecclesiastical tribunal , the patriarch suspended the bishop of Armavir and Labinsk , 47-year-old Ignatij ( Buzin ) , ( photo 2 ) , and the bishop of Kostomuksha and Kem 46-year-old Ignatij ( Tarasov ) .
The patriarchal decree mentions “ communications received , containing documented and reasoned charges ” against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ confined ” in cities far from their dioceses , under the responsibility of the local metropolitans .
In fact , at the beginning of May scandalous images of the conduct of the two bishops began to circulate on social media , with rather embarrassing and particular photographs on the homosexual activity of various priests and lay people together with them .

The Patriarch reportedly lost all patience when confronted by the photograph of Bishop Ignatij ( Buzin ) naked , drunk and in embarrassing poses .
However , many also accuse the patriarch of “ abuse of power ” , and of having waited for the pandemic crisis to operate a “ settlement of accounts ” within the hierarchy .
Already on 23 March the bishop of Cherepovetsk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 44 , resigned following a scandal .
A police search on his apartment revealed that he had been living with a young Italian .
Before that , on 11 March , Metropolitan Ioann ( Roscin ) , 45 years old , was retired after a year in which he went from the Russian diocese of Italy to the European metropolis of Paris , to be downgraded to the metropolis of Vienna , and then finally liquidated without any explanation .

The continued dehumanization of the working man in light of even a pandemic is the other major scandal in addition to the death rates. If our society cannot respect our fellow man, and even the authorities who while they do make errors at times, also exist to protect people (getting rid of government, contrary to what so many in particularly “right” leaning circles say, will not make the country safer or more just, but rather open the way to horrible abuses as what happened in the 19th century) and have certain rights and responsibilities in society just as citizens do.
No corporate “statement” can cover for this.
If this virus continues, while it is likely that Trump is going to be re-elected, it does not bode well for his presidency and especially his “image” in history, which while so carefully constructed, will continue to crash harder than it already has, like a house of cards before a strong wind.

shoebat--2020-05-24--Georgia Is Now A Swing State

Georgia Is Now A Swing State

CNN reports that now the southern state of Georgia , once a consistent Republican ( and prior to that Democrat bastion ) is now a political swing state .
Democrats have Georgia on their minds .
When former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s team presented their electoral strategy in mid-May , Georgia was one of three states , along with Arizona and Texas , that they believed they could compete in , even though those places haven ’ t voted for a Democratic presidential nominee in at least 20 years .
A look at the statistics tell us that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bluffing .
Georgia is definitely in play in the 2020 presidential election , even if it isn ’ t as strong a pickup opportunity for Democrats as some other states .
Over the past few months , a number of polls have come out of Georgia .
Many of these polls have been from Republican leaning groups , raising alarms to fellow Republicans .
Looking at all the polling shows a race within a point , and Biden already topping Hillary Clinton ’ s share of the vote from four years ago with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 45 % of the vote and lost Georgia by 5 points .
The polls indicate a state that Biden can win , which is what electoral trends suggest as well .
Georgia is one of only six states to have shifted to the left compared to the nation as a whole in each of the last three presidential elections .
Four of the others are at least leaning Democratic ( California , Maryland , Virginia and Washington ) , while one is a tossup ( North Carolina ) in 2020 .
From 2008 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average of 2.3 points left each cycle .
Last cycle , it went from about 11.7 points more Republican than the nation to about 7.2 points , a move of 4.5 points .
Georgia probably won ’ t jump 4.5 points left like in 2016 , as the shock of President Donald Trump to the electoral system is already baked in somewhat .
Keep in mind , though , that Biden ’ s leading Trump by 6 to 8 points nationally .
That ’ s about 5 points more than Clinton won by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 and Biden ’ s doing 5 points better than her nationally , any movement to the left in Georgia compared to the nation means a very competitive race .
This even takes into account the fact that the Georgia electorate doesn ’ t have a lot of swing voters .
Indeed , Georgia was more competitive in the 2018 midterms than it had been in any midterm election in a generation .
Democrats won 49 % of the vote in the governor , attorney general and secretary of state races .
US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the statewide vote , which was their highest share in a midterm since 1990 .
Georgia ’ s move to the left makes a lot of sense when you look at how the state and the nation ’ s demographic and electoral winds have shifted .
