shoebat--2020-08-11--If You Believe Russia Actually Has A Successful Vaccine Then Potemkin Villages Were Real

With the world scrambling from COVID-19 ’ s effects and talk of a vaccine , there is a practical “ race ” to develop a cure .
According to AP News , President Putin of Russia is declaring victory at developing the first vaccine for the illness .
Russia on Tuesday became the first country to approve a coronavirus vaccine for use in tens of thousands of its citizens despite international skepticism about injections that have not completed clinical trials and were studied in only dozens of people for less than two months .
President Vladimir Putin said while announcing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adult daughters already was inoculated .
He said the vaccine underwent the necessary tests and was shown to provide lasting immunity to the coronavirus , although Russian authorities have offered no proof to back up the claim of its safety or effectiveness .
“ I know it has proven efficient and forms a stable immunity , ” he said .
“ We must be grateful to those who made that first step very important for our country and the entire world.
” However , scientists in Russia and other countries sounded an alarm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine before Phase 3 trials — which normally last for months and involve tens of thousands of people — could backfire .
“ Fast-tracked approval will not make Russia the leader in the ( vaccine ) race , it will just expose consumers of the vaccine to unnecessary danger , ” Russia ’ s Association of Clinical Trials Organizations said Monday , urging government officials to postpone clearing the vaccine without completed advanced trials .
The vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow uses a different virus — the common cold-causing adenovirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carry genes for the “ spike ” protein that coats the coronavirus , as a way to prime the body to recognize if a real COVID-19 infection comes along .
That ’ s similar to vaccines being developed by China ’ s CanSino Biologics and Britain ’ s Oxford University and AstraZeneca .
Advanced clinical trials are set to start Wednesday , Kirill Dmitriev , chief executive of the Russian Direct Investment Fund , told reporters .
The fund bankrolled the development of the vaccine .
The trials study will span several countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Philippines and possibly Brazil , and involve “ several thousand people , ” Dmitriev said .
In the meantime , the vaccine will be offered to tens of thousands of people who volunteer to be vaccinated .
( source ) In the USSR and many authoritarian nations , it is common for these governments to construct cities or villages that look “ perfect ” simply to impress the world while hiding the horrible reality of what life is like in those places .
Turkmenistan is an excellent example of this , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her capitol of Ashgabat and making fancy , sovietesque presentations to the world about how great she is , most of the nation is in dire poverty and misery to such a point that one-third of Turkmenistan ’ s population has fled to Russia never to return , causing a population crisis .
As I have said before , the US and her English counterpart have a history of telling lies to advance geopolitical causes , and while the Russians lie very poorly when they try , they are masters of bluffing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something when they do not .
It is believable that Russia is working on a vaccine , but given their history , ( a ) how much is their own design versus stolen from another source ( as there is a long history , like China , of stealing scientific advancements from the Western world ) , ( b ) how much is actually safe , and ( c ) how much of this is real ?
If Russia truly has a vaccine that works , then I wish the best for them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world for the benefit of all because so many people are suffering- and I hope they do because it really does not matter who is “ first ” or not , but rather how people can be helped because people always come before politics .

Putin is a master of image management , and even while Russia is crumbling from within from multiple threats and faces a high chance that she could break up in the next three decades , he is able to present an image through a sort of bragadoccio-rooted misdirection that makes Russia seem stronger , more unified , and more competent than what she actually is .

Russia knows this well , as it was for decades during the Soviet years that she promoted the pseudoscience of Lysenkoism that cause countless deaths and , given Putin ’ s love of Stalin ( who avidly supported Lysenkoism ) , the philosophy is now suddenly reappearing in Russian scientific circles .

By Theodore Shoebat
There has been a good amount of talk coming out of Israel about how Hezbollah was running the port where the explosion happened and how it owned the ammonium nitrate that exploded, and how the terrorist organization owns more chemical depots. For example, Lt. Col. Sarit Zehavi, a former IDF intelligence officer who is a specialist on Israel’s northern border, is blaming the explosion on Hezbollah:
“Any way you look at it, Hezbollah is involved. Even if it’s just a regular accident, which this [the port blast] probably is, Hezbollah controls both the airport and sea-port in Lebanon so it’s responsible.”
While she says the explosion was an accident, she also talked about the possibility of a attack by Hezbollah against Israel:
“Assessments in Israel are that Hezbollah will not carry out a terrorist attack against Israel [in response]. If anything comes, it will take time, at least a month or two. … The damage in Beirut is so big and Hezbollah has to defend itself against criticism in Lebanon. I can’t imagine how busy Hezbollah combatants have been in the last few days, hiding signs of their ammunition in areas that were damaged.”
If it was just an accident, why then suggest the prospect of an attack on Israel on Hezbollah? Moreover, Netanyahu had a phone conversation with Emmanuel Macron in which he suggested a possible attack by Hezbollah against Israel. According to the Times of Israel:
During the call, Netanyahu called for the removal of Hezbollah missiles and explosive materials from populated areas to “prevent disasters of the type at the Beirut port,” according to the statement. “The prime minister clarified that if Hezbollah thinks they can solve the crisis in Lebanon by creating a crisis with Israel, this is a big mistake,” the statement says.
The context is interesting. Netanyahu was speaking with Macron, the president of France who went to Lebanon after the explosion where he called Lebanon’s politicians “corrupt” and where the crowd of angry Lebanese civilians cried “Revolution!” France used to control Lebanon and definitely has interests in taking oil and natural gas for its energy company, Total. Netanyahu — Prime Minister of the biggest enemy of Hezbollah — has a phone conversation with the president of the country that once controlled Lebanon, and suggests a possible crises caused by Hezbollah.
Its possible that Israel caused the explosion in order to spark revolution against Hezbollah, since so much of the anger coming out of the Lebanese populace is against the Shiite paramilitary group which has had so much control over the government. In fact, Iran is getting nervous about the revolutionary atmosphere happening in Lebanon, according to Y Net News:
Iran is watching developments in Lebanon closely, wary of losing any of its influence – mainly through its proxy Hezbollah – after a deadly mega-blast in Beirut sparked angry demands for reforms to its delicately balanced system. It would not be surprising that Israel caused the explosion in order to hurt Iran’s main proxy force, Hezbollah. Time will tell.

shoebat--2020-08-11--French National Assembly Votes To Murder Unborn Babies At Any Stage

Ever since the French National Assembly declared themselves as having power over the King of France , who they later overthrew and murdered , they have been the guiding legislative body for “ the Republic ” to the current day .
There are many criticisms of the French government , but something decent is that they and much of Europe do not have very liberal abortion laws like the US by comparison .
The problem with the Europeans is simply a lack of care or will to have children .
However , it is interesting now that LifeNews reports that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abortion at all stages of pregnancy .
The French National Assembly approved a radical pro-abortion amendment this month that would allow unborn babies to be aborted at any point in pregnancy .
The Christian Institute reports the amendment basically would legalize abortion on demand up to birth by allowing abortions for “ psycho-social distress ” without restriction .
Currently , abortions are legal for any reason up to 12 weeks of pregnancy in France .
According to the report , about 220,000 unborn babies are aborted in the country every year .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amendment , noting that it was debated in the middle of the night when much of the public was asleep .
“ It would obviate existing abortion laws , by attaching the unverifiable criterion of ‘ psycho-social distress , ’ ” the organization said in a statement .
“ If the bill is passed into law , it would allow ‘ medical abortions ’ to be performed up until full-term pregnancy.
” The pro-abortion amendment passed the National Assembly with just a small number of votes .
According to the Christian Institute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only 101 voted : 60 in favor and 37 against .
The legislation is now headed to the French Senate for consideration .
Pro-life leaders with Alliance VITA said pregnant women deserve “ society ’ s full and undivided ” support , but killing an unborn baby in an abortion is not a solution .
Along with destroying an unborn baby ’ s life , an abortion can increase physical and psychological risks to the mother ’ s life and health , they said .
( source ) I have a suspicion as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be very clear- this is just my suspicion , and it is based on my own personal observations- it is not to be taken as a statement of fact , and clearly is subject to change– and further documented insights are welcome .
The reason is the migrants .
Let ’ s go back in time to the US .
Consider that between 1965 to 1975 , American society radically changed .
The big changes were ( a ) the Great Society programs that created the modern American welfare state , ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the encouragement of mass migration from Central America , ( c ) the opening of free trade with China that destroyed US jobs , and ( d ) the legalization of abortion .
Again , while I can not definitively prove such , it makes complete sense that abortion accompanied these other changes .
At the time , the post-WWII boom was coming to an end , and the US wanted to keep it going .
We know for a fact the CIA was planning ( based on declassified documents ) for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened at that time , and the likely reason for this expectation was to keep the economic boom post World War II going .
However , with no boom coming , the only other was to do it was to ( a ) radically drop prices of production , ( b ) keep people happy with lots of comforts , and to do this by ( c ) using the financial position of the US .
This was why the first three items happened- pacifying the poor with lots of easy comforts in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive welfare ) , getting below-market slave labor for domestic needs ( migration ) , and destroying high wages so to keep profits high and replace that with financialization through easy access to credit ( outsourcing/debt ) .
But what happens if the “ slave classes ” have “ too many children ” and threaten the ruling structure ?
If one can not “ cull the herd ” by force ( war , murder , camps ) , one can have themselves murder their own and think it is a good thing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reason abortion centers were placed among minority and immigrant populations- to keep them from reproducing so to lower their numbers -and we know this to be a fact as evidenced by the saying of racists and eugenicists since the late nineteenth century .
If this was truly something of what may have been planned , the plan worked , but only in part , for while the black and hispanic blocs do have abortions at higher rates than the white bloc , between natural childbearing and migration coupled with the fact that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above replacement rate and lower than the black or hispanic blocs , then add that they started using abortion , what seems to have been meant to be a eugenic means for “ those ” blocs has come back to haunt the majority bloc .
I can not prove any of the above by fact- I can only say based on historical patterns , the behavior of governments , human nature , the patterns of society , and personal experience that this seems to be the most logical explanation .
If we assume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the situation of continual migration to France from Africa and the Middle East , the fact that migrants have more children than the “ native ” French , that the native French barely reproduce , and that the migrants are used do drive France economically lest her nation fall to irrelevance , it would make sense that from a strict political view- I am not saying I support this but speaking from the perspective of one who believes in power at all cost with respect to no one -that abortion at all stages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” , but for the migrants to keep their numbers down .
But if this was the case in the American context , it is likely that what happened in the US will repeat in France , for the willful murder of the innocent is a sin no matter who does it , and what one tries to inflict upon another may likely come back and hurt the one ’ s who introduced it to them .
France truly is dying , but it is not because of the migrants- she is committing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her sins and wants to persist in error .
Call the migrants “ vultures ” , but vultures are respectable in that they neither kill nor feast upon the living , but only the dead once fully dead .
France does not have to die , but she would rather commit suicide than to ask for the mercy and forgiveness of God for centuries of apostasy and rebellion , and as she is cutting her own arteries is blaming those who have lined up to take her place when it is nor was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commandments of God to “ be fruitful and multiply ” .

I have a suspicion as to why this is. I want to be very clear- this is just my suspicion, and it is based on my own personal observations- it is not to be taken as a statement of fact, and clearly is subject to change– and further documented insights are welcome.
The reason is the migrants.
Let’s go back in time to the US. Consider that between 1965 to 1975, American society radically changed. The big changes were (a) the Great Society programs that created the modern American welfare state, (b) the ultra-liberalization of migration and the encouragement of mass migration from Central America, (c) the opening of free trade with China that destroyed US jobs, and (d) the legalization of abortion. Again, while I cannot definitively prove such, it makes complete sense that abortion accompanied these other changes.
At the time, the post-WWII boom was coming to an end, and the US wanted to keep it going. We know for a fact the CIA was planning (based on declassified documents) for a third major war, but that never happened at that time, and the likely reason for this expectation was to keep the economic boom post World War II going. However, with no boom coming, the only other was to do it was to (a) radically drop prices of production, (b) keep people happy with lots of comforts, and to do this by (c) using the financial position of the US. This was why the first three items happened- pacifying the poor with lots of easy comforts in a “bread-and-circuses” type philosophy (massive welfare), getting below-market slave labor for domestic needs (migration), and destroying high wages so to keep profits high and replace that with financialization through easy access to credit (outsourcing/debt).
But what happens if the “slave classes” have “too many children” and threaten the ruling structure? If one cannot “cull the herd” by force (war, murder, camps), one can have themselves murder their own and think it is a good thing, which is abortion. Hence this is the reason abortion centers were placed among minority and immigrant populations- to keep them from reproducing so to lower their numbers -and we know this to be a fact as evidenced by the saying of racists and eugenicists since the late nineteenth century.
If this was truly something of what may have been planned, the plan worked, but only in part, for while the black and hispanic blocs do have abortions at higher rates than the white bloc, between natural childbearing and migration coupled with the fact that the white bloc refused to have children above replacement rate and lower than the black or hispanic blocs, then add that they started using abortion, what seems to have been meant to be a eugenic means for “those” blocs has come back to haunt the majority bloc.
I cannot prove any of the above by fact- I can only say based on historical patterns, the behavior of governments, human nature, the patterns of society, and personal experience that this seems to be the most logical explanation.
If we assume some truth in this, then given the situation of continual migration to France from Africa and the Middle East, the fact that migrants have more children than the “native” French, that the native French barely reproduce, and that the migrants are used do drive France economically lest her nation fall to irrelevance, it would make sense that from a strict political view- I am not saying I support this but speaking from the perspective of one who believes in power at all cost with respect to no one -that abortion at all stages is not meant for the “French”, but for the migrants to keep their numbers down.
But if this was the case in the American context, it is likely that what happened in the US will repeat in France, for the willful murder of the innocent is a sin no matter who does it, and what one tries to inflict upon another may likely come back and hurt the one’s who introduced it to them.
France truly is dying, but it is not because of the migrants- she is committing suicide because she refuses to repent of her sins and wants to persist in error. Call the migrants “vultures”, but vultures are respectable in that they neither kill nor feast upon the living, but only the dead once fully dead. France does not have to die, but she would rather commit suicide than to ask for the mercy and forgiveness of God for centuries of apostasy and rebellion, and as she is cutting her own arteries is blaming those who have lined up to take her place when it is nor was their fault for existing and fulfilling the commandments of God to “be fruitful and multiply”.

Looking at the recent alliance formed between Israel and the UAE, is is very obvious what is happening: Israel and the Arabs of the UAE need to join forces to combat Iran. As we read from a report from Reuters:
Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced on Thursday that they will normalise diplomatic ties and forge a broad new relationship, a move that reshapes the order of Middle East politics from the Palestinian issue to the fight against Iran.
The Americans got the Israelis to forsake their plan of annexing 30% of the West Bank as part of the agreement which solidifies the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is actually more open to the idea of peace with Israel than other Arab countries. This openness was seen in the fact that the UAE had a papal mass in its country, the first ever in any gulf state. But beyond this, the real reason the UAE is willing to establish relations with Israel is because the Arabs are terrified of Iran, which is a major regional power that hates the Arabs. Saudi Arabia was supposedly not privy to the agreement with Israel, but since the UAE is has such close ties with the House of Saud, it makes sense that this agreement extends to Saudi Arabia. In the words of Graeme Wood, writing for the Atlantic: “The final affinity among these states is hatred of Iran, which would destroy Israel and many of the Sunni Arab states if it had the chance.” This observation was echoed by the Wall Street Journal:
The Gulf Arab states have historically held off doing so amid Israel’s long-running conflict with the Palestinians. But in recent years Israel and several Gulf states have been brought closer together through shared enmity with Iran, which they see as destabilizing the region.
The Iranians have already expressed their adversity towards the deal, with Iranian official Hossein Amirabdollahian saying that it will not bring peace to the region. Iran’s Tasnim news agency, which is connected to the country’s elite Revolutionary Guards, called the deal “Shameful.” The peace agreement is not going to stop Iran’s aspirations of destroying Saudi Arabia. The proxy war in Yemen between Saudi Arabia and Iran is just another stage of the anger that will eventually implode into an Iranian destruction of the Arab Gulf. There will be a horrific attack on Saudi Arabia by Iran, and this will spark a huge refugee crisis from the Arab Gulf. With this are we reminded of the words of the Prophet Isaiah:
In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,
O you traveling companies of Dedanites.
O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Bring water to him who is thirsty;
With their bread they met him who fled.
For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,
From the bent bow, and from the distress of war. (Isaiah 21:13-15)
This horrific violence will happen after Iran answers the call of “ Go up, O Elam!” (Isaiah 21:2)

shoebat--2020-08-13--Medical Researchers Warn: ‘Coronavirus Could Become Just As Destructive As 1918 Influenza.’

Medical researchers are now warning that coronavirus could become just as fatal and destructive as the 1918 influenza epidemic .
As we read from a report by CNBC : The coronavirus is at least as deadly as the 1918 flu pandemic and the death toll could even be worse if world leaders and public health officials fail to adequately contain it , researchers warned in a study published Thursday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open .
“ What we want people to know is that this has 1918 potential , ” lead author Dr. Jeremy Faust said in an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York was at least 70 % as bad as the one in 1918 when doctors didn ’ t have ventilators or other advances to help save lives like they do today .
“ This is not something to just shrug off like the flu.

They used public data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the New York City Department of Health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Census Bureau to conduct their analysis .
The increase in deaths during the 1918 flu pandemic was higher overall , but comparable to that observed in the first two months of the coronavirus outbreak in New York City , the researchers found .
But when taking into account improvements in hygiene , modern medicine and public health , the increase during the early coronavirus outbreak was “ substantially greater ” than during the peak of the 1918 pandemic , the researchers wrote .

The COVID-19 pandemic could be likened to a domino falling on a line of other dominoes , or a rock thrown into a pond , for it is not the act of the domino falling or the rock being thrown that causes problems , but the ensuing after-effects that cause most of the problems .
I have noted on Shoebat.com that one of the major effects of the virus , economically speaking , is how it is taking down both the retail sales and commercial real estate markets in one action , since declining sales revenue leading to store closures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but a refusal to pay rent because of a lack of traffic , has caused debts to default , including major mortgages on commercial real estate .
Under “ normal ” times this would not be an issue , but a bank does not want to foreclose on a commercial property it know will likely be impossible to resell and will just fall apart .
Thus one sees a game of fiscal “ hot potato ” where nobody wants to take responsibility or deal with the debt because the legal consequences would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ RetailDive , which studies the retail market , commercial real estate holders have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue , and are trying to work out agreements with banks and retail stores to protect themselves .
Mall operators have put numbers to the stresses of COVID-19 on the second quarter , with the ensuing mass closures , negotiations over rent and accelerating retail bankruptcies .
Simon Property Group CEO David Simon said his company took a $ 215 million hit during the quarter from rent abatements and write-offs on bankrupt retailers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For Q2 Taubman Centers logged $ 32.6 million in uncollectible rent it attributed to tenant bankruptcies and nonpayment during mall closures .
Another mall landlord , Washington Prime Group , said that it collected just 44 % of owed rent during the quarter while more than 25 % of Q2 rent it deemed uncollectible because of bankruptcies or pandemic-related lease modifications .

The COVID-19 pandemic could be likened to a domino falling on a line of other dominoes, or a rock thrown into a pond, for it is not the act of the domino falling or the rock being thrown that causes problems, but the ensuing after-effects that cause most of the problems.
I have noted on Shoebat.com that one of the major effects of the virus, economically speaking, is how it is taking down both the retail sales and commercial real estate markets in one action, since declining sales revenue leading to store closures or in some cases, store occupancy but a refusal to pay rent because of a lack of traffic, has caused debts to default, including major mortgages on commercial real estate. Under “normal” times this would not be an issue, but a bank does not want to foreclose on a commercial property it know will likely be impossible to resell and will just fall apart. Thus one sees a game of fiscal “hot potato” where nobody wants to take responsibility or deal with the debt because the legal consequences would be very destructive.
According to the site RetailDive, which studies the retail market, commercial real estate holders have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and are trying to work out agreements with banks and retail stores to protect themselves.
Mall operators have put numbers to the stresses of COVID-19 on the second quarter, with the ensuing mass closures, negotiations over rent and accelerating retail bankruptcies. Simon Property Group CEO David Simon said his company took a $215 million hit during the quarter from rent abatements and write-offs on bankrupt retailers, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript. For Q2 Taubman Centers logged $32.6 million in uncollectible rent it attributed to tenant bankruptcies and nonpayment during mall closures. Another mall landlord, Washington Prime Group, said that it collected just 44% of owed rent during the quarter while more than 25% of Q2 rent it deemed uncollectible because of bankruptcies or pandemic-related lease modifications. … None of this comes as a surprise given the upheaval of the quarter. As Jefferies analysts put it in an emailed note, “Unpaid rents, abatements and retailer [bankruptcies] hurt 2Q earnings predictably.” The analysts estimated that average base rent per square foot has dropped 5.9% while leased space has declined by 100 basis points to 93.8% as major retailers close hundreds of stores either or out of bankruptcy.

If one cannot make the money o pay his bills, then one loses what one has. However, if everybody is threatened with losing everything at the same time, a “bank run” type situation happens- except unlike a bank run, this kind of a “freeze” in the transfer of money prevents debts getting serviced and thus result in legal fighting which jams the system and could cause a collapse of the economy.
Right now, the only saving grace to the economy has been the “stimulus” payments, which have helped temporarily to service debts but at the long-term expense of the integrity of the dollar, and given that the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, any devaluation to her significantly hurts other nations.
The COVID-19 crisis has been going on for six months now, but this is still just a start, as the effects of the pandemic will continue to reverborate throughout the economy, and contrary to the like that a “recovery” is close, this is absolutely not true, since the fundamental problem is one of debt, not a mere economic hiccup.
In other words, work as much as you can, save up as much as possible, and prepare for even more instability, which as I have noted, will likely show itself around Christmas time, when people are unable to purchase gifts and cause more exposure of the house of cards that the “economy” has been since 2007.

Donald Trump has affirmed that religious freedom for Christians in the Middle East is a prerequisite for any peace agreement between Israel and Islamic countries in the Middle East. As we read in the Jerusalem Post:
Protecting Christians in the Middle East is an important part of the nascent peace deal America has brokered between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, US President Donald Trump told reporters in Washington late Thursday as he clarified that West Bank annexation was off the table right now.
“Christians have been persecuted by some countries in particular in the Middle East. This [the UAE deal] is a big start, It is going to be a strong start, a very powerful start” toward protecting Christians in the Middle East, Trump said.
“If you look at the way Christians have been treated in some countries, it is beyond disgraceful. If I had information and if I had absolute proof of some of the stories we have heard, which is not easy to get, I would go in and do a number to those countries, like you would not believe,” Trump said.
As a result protecting Christians in the Middle East would also be a component of future deals that would be signed between Israel and other countries in the region, he clarified.
Christianity “is a very big part of the overall negotiation. As countries come in, the UAE has agreed very strongly to represent us, I think will, very well, with respect to Christianity, because in the Middle East it is not treated well. It is treated horribly and very unfairly,” Trump said.
