Forget about Obama phones , it is the age of the “ Trump stack ” , or a government check paid out to people according to a deal reported on by US News , would pay people who earn less than $ 75,000 per year a check of $ 1,200 USD to help them with the economic effects of the COVID-19 virus .
AMERICANS STAND TO receive checks of up to $ 1,200 under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ’ s $ 1 trillion coronavirus stimulus measure aimed at blunting widespread economic effects of the pandemic .
Those who make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a direct payment of $ 1,200 under the bill , which was introduced Thursday evening .
Americans who make over $ 75,000 would receive $ 5 less for every $ 100 they make over that threshold , while those with incomes over $ 99,000 would get nothing .
Households with children would receive an additional $ 500 per child .
The payments would be based on the adjusted gross income from their 2018 tax filings , and couples who file taxes jointly would receive payment based on their joint income – for example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2018 would get a $ 2,400 check .
Negotiations on the Senate GOP ’ s bill will kick into high gear on Friday when Republicans start working with their Democratic counterparts and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin comes back to Capitol Hill to help facilitate the discussions .
“ These bipartisan discussions must begin immediately and continue with urgency at the member level until we have results , ” McConnell said as he introduced the bill .
“ The Senate is not going anywhere until we take action.
” ( source ) One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that over 75 % of Americans earn less than $ 60,000 per year .
This would mean that a check goes out to most people .
People said that Obama would implement socialism , but where is the concern about Trump doing this ?
If Trump was to pay out the $ 1,200 checks , it would be larger than the “ $ 1000 ” promised by former Democrat contender Andrew Yang .

Mayor Bill de Blasio made an urgent plea for military aid to combat the coronavirus, as the number of confirmed cases in New York City surged to 3,615 on Thursday and the city increasingly becomes the epicenter of the crisis in the U.S.
The city’s death toll from the virus has risen to 22, doubling in the past day. The total number of cases nearly doubled as well, for the second straight day. De Blasio called the numbers “nothing short of staggering” and pressed President Donald Trump to mobilize the military to deliver crucial supplies — which the city could run out of in two to three weeks — and provide medical care.
“The fate of New York City rests in the hands of one man. He is a New Yorker. And right now, he is betraying the city he comes from,” de Blasio said.
New York is asking the federal government for 15,000 ventilators — which can be life-saving for coronavirus patients struggling to breathe — 3 million N95 masks, 50 million surgical masks, and 25 million each of surgical gowns, coveralls, gloves, and face masks.
“At this point there’s never been a greater no brainer in the history of the republic,” de Blasio told reporters. “It is beyond comprehension, it is immoral that our president has not ordered the military to full mobilization.”
Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act, which allows the president to order private industry to ramp up production in the interest of national security, but has said he does not plan to use his powers under the act at this time.

In the New Testament , when Judas Iscariot , the man who betrayed Christ , was caught , he ran away as fast as he could and hung himself .
Trump ’ s son-in-law , Jared Kushner , who has a history of highly questionable business dealings with his father , has like his spiritual and fellow tribal ancestor Judas ran away from public scrutiny after veritable career-suicidal comments of his were exposed where he said that COVID-19 is ‘ fake news ’ and that he “ doesn ’ t take any responsibility for it at all ” according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abundantly clear last week , by just coming out and saying it , he doesn ’ t take “ any responsibility at all ” for the federal government ’ s horribly botched response to the coronavirus .

Still , there are definitely a few individuals along the way who deserve some subsidiary blame for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in .
For instance , the aides too scared to tell him the things he didn ’ t want to hear .
Also : his idiot son-in-law , Jared Kushner .
We already knew that Kushner—who has no expertise in anything , save for wildly overestimating his capabilities and his work as a slumlord—believes the deadly pandemic is “ more about public psychology than a health reality.
” But according to the New York Times , he also advised Trump , in the early days of the catastrophe , that their favorite punching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up : Mr. Kushner ’ s early involvement with dealing with the virus was in advising the president that the media ’ s coverage exaggerated the threat .
( source ) Jared Kushner does not act “ presidential.
” Rather , he acts very parasitic .
In times of crisis , nations look to their leader for guidance , for good or bad , and regardless of details .
Kushner ’ s comments portray him for what he is- a man who wants power , but does not care about the good will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he influences , save for his own benefit .
The real heroes are the people on ground helping those with the virus , or those in government trying to make good decisions in the face of a very legally and medically difficult scenario , or those trying to help people by whatever other means they are able to reasonably do so in their particular idiom .

When the COVID-19 coronavirus started , I expressed concern in my articles that there may come a point where , as many tools and industrial supplies are made in China , that interruptions to the supply chain could result in tool shortages come June to September , for production runs on a six to nine month lead time , and as the flow of shipping containers slowed or ceased , so would the supplies on the shelves of many stores .
This also applies to “ dollar ” type stores , as they are in the same economic situation by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came to these conclusions after much careful reading and analysis of news , economic reports , and other sources .
However , I decided to go further and see if I could get a better sense of the situation by talking to people on the ground .
I spoke with people in two different businesses , both who are in competition with each other , that operate in the tool import industry .
One of these were a series of employees who work for Harbor Freight Tools .
Another was an independent importer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and lucrative business .
I would like to share with you what I have been told .
The independent tool importer is an elderly man who runs his business with his wife and children .
I have known him for a long time .
We talked about the situation with China , and in his words ( paraphrasing ) , I purchase from seven suppliers .
One has told me that they are not going to receive any more imports from China .
A second one is unsure if they will do the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have indefinitely suspended all future orders because no one knows when operations will resume .
I buy in bulk , so I should be fine for now , but I purchased more because I don ’ t know what is going to happen .

I was able to ask a series of questions , but the most helpful came from two employees , who told me the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stocks were mostly normal but starting to get low in certain areas right now , one of which was air compressors , and that the store has not been receiving any more freight .
The second employee said what the first informed me of , but added that all container shipments have ceased and that their store has been running off of existing stock and there are no further plans for any more containers , and that employees have been informed to prepare for inventory shortages come summertime .
I am telling you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it appears another Shoebat.com prediction is coming true , but so that you can make some intelligent decisions .

shoebat--2020-03-22--Trump Declares “We Can’t Let The Cruise Lines Go Out Of Business”

Trump recently gave a very interesting speech about the situation with the COVID-19 coronavirus situation .
You can see the original talk below .
I watched the entire thing , and I can come away with a few points in it .
Trump made very clear that while “ we are a country based not on nationalizing our business ” , he said that “ we have to help the worker , and save the companies ” .
He noted among other things that “ we cant let the cruise lines go out of business ” , and that in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do that in many ways , including a substantial cash payment.
” Referring to the virus as both a “ Chinese virus ” and “ the hidden enemy ” , he said that he will be “ working urgently with Congress to support the millions of workers…who have been hit by the virus through no fault of their own…this will help our economy , our economy will skyrocket after this.
” He said that the National Guard in California , New York , and Washington has been deployed , and “ Fema @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guard costs to carry out approved missions to stop the virus ” .
He added that “ the federal government has deployed hundreds of tons of supplies ” and opened “ alternate care sites ” with FEMA where over ten thousand beds across three states will be ready .
At the concern of reporters , Trump insisted that nationalization of industry is not taking place , but collaboration , and according to FEMA spokesmen who accompanied and spoke with Trump , this is the “ greatest mobilization of the industrial base since World @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapidly our capabilities to get what we need ” and is about “ mobilization….re-purposing and rebuilding up capabilities ” .
He also expressed strong disapproval with China , saying that people in the US died because China waited in what Trump said he “ [ thought was ] out of pride.

Trump recently gave a very interesting speech about the situation with the COVID-19 coronavirus situation. You can see the original talk below.
I watched the entire thing, and I can come away with a few points in it.
Trump made very clear that while “we are a country based not on nationalizing our business”, he said that “we have to help the worker, and save the companies”. He noted among other things that “we cant let the cruise lines go out of business”, and that in order to provide assistance, “we will do that in many ways, including a substantial cash payment.”
Referring to the virus as both a “Chinese virus” and “the hidden enemy”, he said that he will be “working urgently with Congress to support the millions of workers…who have been hit by the virus through no fault of their own…this will help our economy, our economy will skyrocket after this.”
He said that the National Guard in California, New York, and Washington has been deployed, and “Fema will be funding 100% of National Guard costs to carry out approved missions to stop the virus”. He added that “the federal government has deployed hundreds of tons of supplies” and opened “alternate care sites” with FEMA where over ten thousand beds across three states will be ready.
At the concern of reporters, Trump insisted that nationalization of industry is not taking place, but collaboration, and according to FEMA spokesmen who accompanied and spoke with Trump, this is the “greatest mobilization of the industrial base since World War II” for “building up rapidly our capabilities to get what we need” and is about “mobilization….re-purposing and rebuilding up capabilities”.
He also expressed strong disapproval with China, saying that people in the US died because China waited in what Trump said he “[thought was] out of pride.”
“Our relationship with China is a very good relationship, we wish they told us three months sooner,” said Trump. “We could have saved a lot of lives throughout the world.”

A man in Florida, named Rio Giardinieri, got coronavirus and the doctor told him that he was going to die and that there was nothing more that he could do. The man said goodbye to his wife and three children, and had made peace with his death. But, a friend sent him an article about hydroxychloroquine, the very medicine that Trump said could be the cure for coronavirus. Giardinieri asked a doctor about hydroxychloroquine and he gave him a number of reasons why he should not take it. But Giardinieri told the doctor that his death was soon and he had nothing to lose. They put hydroxychloroquine in his IV and by the next day he felt as if he never had coronavirus. As we read a report from the New York Post:
Rio Giardinieri, 52, told Los Angeles’ Fox 11 that he struggled with horrendous back pain, headaches, cough and fatigue for five days after catching COVID-19, possibly at a conference in New York. Doctors at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in South Florida diagnosed him with the coronavirus and pneumonia and put him on oxygen in the ICU, he told the outlet. After more than a week, doctors told him there was nothing more they could do and, on Friday evening, Giardinieri said goodbye to his wife and three children. “I was at the point where I was barely able to speak and breathing was very challenging,” Giardinieri said. “I really thought my end was there.” Then a friend sent him a recent article about hydroxychloroquine, a prescription drug that’s been used to treat malaria for decades and auto-immune diseases like lupus. … Giardinieri said he contacted an infectious disease doctor about the drug. “He gave me all the reasons why I would probably not want to try it because there are no trials, there’s no testing, it was not something that was approved,” said Giardinieri. “And I said, ‘Look, I don’t know if I’m going to make it until the morning,’ because at that point I really thought I was coming to the end because I couldn’t breathe anymore,” Giardinieri continued. “He agreed and authorized the use of it and 30 minutes later the nurse gave it to me.” After about an hour on an IV with the medicine, Giardinieri said, it felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and, about two hours later, he had another episode where he couldn’t breathe. He says he was given Benadryl and some other drugs and that when he woke up around 4:45 a.m., it was “like nothing ever happened.” He’s since had no fever or pain and can breathe again. Giardinieri said doctors believe the episodes he experienced were not a reaction to the medicine but his body fighting off the virus. Giardinieri, the vice president of a company that manufactures cooking equipment for high-end restaurants in Los Angeles, said he had three doses of the medicine Saturday and is hoping to be discharged from the hospital in five days. “To me, there was no doubt in mind that I wouldn’t make it until morning,” said Giardinieri. “So to me, the drug saved my life.”
Death from coronavirus is a result of fluid drowning your lungs. The fluid is the immune system launching an extremely strong response to the virus. What hydroxychloroquine does is slow the immune system so that the filling up of the lungs with liquid is hindered to the point that you can breathe and your body can adequately fight against the infection. William Grace, a doctor who has successfully treated 100 coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine (without one death), has defended the use of the drug. He explains how the immune system’s strong response to coronavirus is actually what kills people:
“Well, you know, we’ve had the understanding [that] old people seem to have compromised immune systems. And I think it’s just the opposite,” Grace told Ingraham. “It’s a paradigm change that the more mature immune systems, even though their bodies may be weakened, their immune systems are actually quite strong … And it’s the strength of that immunity … that causes the damage to the lungs and the deaths in these cases.”
Grace then explains how hydroxchloroquine suppresses the immune system to prevent the drowning of the lungs:
“Hence, the reason why hydroxychloroquine, an immunosuppressive agent, is beneficial by two mechanisms suppressing the immune response… And number two, acting to suppress the replication of the virus. … you can take the seriously ill people and treat them off-label with the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin [and] you can take those people who are not so seriously ill and put them on whatever randomized trial you want, and as many limbs as you want, because there’ll be plenty of patients out there that will be sick and not so serious that they’re in danger of dying.”
You can watch the whole interview with Dr. Grace here:
It appears that Trump was correct that hydroxychloroquine can indeed cure coronavirus. If this is the case, then this medicine needs to mass produced and given to those infected to prevent more deaths.

Putting half of the US out of work for an indefinite time is toxic to the nation. People will be very, very angry- and hungry and frustrated, since most Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck because of the design of the system. Even for good people, it very hard to save money because life in America has become very expensive.
It has the potential to overthrow the current ethos of government and usher in a new era. That is how serious this is.
Shoebat.com will be closely monitoring the situation. We will be keeping everyone posted about this, as we have been saying that a serious economic crisis (a) was inevitable in five years (2018 +5, so between 2018 and 2023), and that (b) it will cause serious changes to the country.

shoebat--2020-03-23--Russia Uses “Fake News” Law To Suppress Information About Coronavirus Spreading In Russia

Russian media has been reporting on the spread of coronavirus in Russia and trying to give the impression that the situation is under control , when it does not appear to be so .
The virus continues to spread a lot , especially in border cities with China , and is making its way throughout the nation .
Since Russia has a very bad medical infrastructure ( even the Minzdrav admits this ) , it is helping the transmission of the illness .
Do not be fooled by memes- for just as there are mosques in Japan ( remember that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of COVID-19 cases , and is not being miraculously shielded from them .
In fact , if there is a source that is responsible for the ‘ miraculous ’ lack of case reports , it is the government , which has according to the Washingotn Times began to use Russia ’ s “ fake news ” law to censor news media outlets and bloggers who talk about the spread of COVID-19 .
Interfax , another Russian news outlet , reported that Echo of Moscow had been asked by regulators to remove an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anonymous sources to say that more than 130,000 people across the country had contracted COVID-19 , the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus , and that around 1,600 had died .
Alexei Venediktov , the radio station ’ s editor in chief , said the comments made in the interview included the analyst ’ s opinions and that the outlet may appeal , Interfax reported .
On Govorit Magadan , an article published later Friday said the news site had been asked by regulators to remove a report about a person who died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russia has officially reported a total of 253 cases of COVID-19 as of Friday .
Only one death from the disease , announced Thursday , has been officially reported .
( source ) This is what we have been worried about .
Russia is returning to Soviet-style behavior , but with more difficulty in hiding it than before .

Since Russia has a very bad medical infrastructure (even the Minzdrav admits this), it is helping the transmission of the illness.
Do not be fooled by memes- for just as there are mosques in Japan (remember that one?), Russia has a lot of COVID-19 cases, and is not being miraculously shielded from them. In fact, if there is a source that is responsible for the ‘miraculous’ lack of case reports, it is the government, which has according to the Washingotn Times began to use Russia’s “fake news” law to censor news media outlets and bloggers who talk about the spread of COVID-19.
Interfax, another Russian news outlet, reported that Echo of Moscow had been asked by regulators to remove an interview with a political analyst who cited anonymous sources to say that more than 130,000 people across the country had contracted COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, and that around 1,600 had died. Alexei Venediktov, the radio station’s editor in chief, said the comments made in the interview included the analyst’s opinions and that the outlet may appeal, Interfax reported. On Govorit Magadan, an article published later Friday said the news site had been asked by regulators to remove a report about a person who died at a local hospital from COVID-19. Russia has officially reported a total of 253 cases of COVID-19 as of Friday. Only one death from the disease, announced Thursday, has been officially reported. (source)

Trump Declares That There Could Be “Suicides By The Thousands” If The US Economy Worsens Because Of The Virus

President Trump declared that if the US economy is not ‘ fixed ’ from the effects of the virus , then there could be “ suicides by the thousands ” as Business Insider reports .
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that there will be “ suicides by the thousands ” if entire sectors of the US economy remain shutdown in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus that threatens to overwhelm hospitals .
“ We have to put the country to work , ’ he said on Fox News .
“ You are going to lose a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you are going to lose more people by putting the country in a massive recession or depression.
” “ You are going to lose people .
You are going to have suicides by the thousands , ” he continued .
“ You can ’ t just come in and say , ‘ Let ’ s close up the United States of America . '
” “ People get tremendous anxiety and depression , and you have suicides over things like this when you have terrible economies , ” he said , adding that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be in far greater numbers than the numbers that we ’ re talking about with regard to the virus.
” “ America will again , and soon , be open for business , ” he said ( source ) This is an accurate statement , and it is sad to make but what is happens in times of highly serious depressions .
Some people make the decision to abuse and destroy themselves because their means of income are destroyed and they see no more purpose to live .
It is similar to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women who was their prime years in debauchery and then are unable to find a husband and have children later in life , and while we do not wish to see it happen , we predict that in the next ten years as the Millennial generation seriously goes into middle life , many childless women will make the same decision .
Trump ’ s comments may seem to feed this sentiment , and that is true .
The reason for doing this is to build support for the “ Trump stack ” while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens , while some will accuse Trump , he can legitimately give the impression of having “ done his best ” in the eyes of the people , and instead say that it was the “ disease infested Chinese ” who “ attacked America with their sickness ” and it has caused “ the loss of American lives ” .
If Trump does have his stimulus bill passed , Trump can be portrayed as the “ hero ” who “ single-handedly saved the American economy ” from the “ irresponsible and dangerous Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Trump holds a complete “ trump card ” over China .
China is going to be portrayed in the eyes of the world as the “ loser ” no matter what happens because unless Trump decides to do something that is just plain stupid- and he will not -he can claim a major political victory for himself .
Think about this from the perspective of campaign marketing .
Who does one want to vote for ?
The “ mentally deranged Democrat ” Joe Biden who “ hates Trump ” and “ hates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ single handedly saved the American economy from the Chinese Communist menace ” and “ revived American manufacturing for the people ” while “ giving money to help those in need like a great charitable leader ?
” It is an easy political win .
People love to vote for the man who gives them “ free money ” , and the same applies to Trump .
Principles will be thrown away fast as soon as the “ Trump stack ” arrives , and nobody will stop to consider the consequences of this .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ if Trump could win in the 2020 election , and as I warned , how Trump handled this crisis would likely determine if he could win this November .
Given his actions and behavior versus that of the Democrats ( which was likely choreographed ) , Trump is clearly emerging as a populist “ hero ” whose support of nationalism and socialism both continue to grow , which is not even so much his fault , but that of the people , for a nation ’ s leader is often a reflection of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ travels down the roads of nationalism and socialism at the same time , it is for those who see what is happening right now to stop and be very careful , because this road has been taken before .
It manifested differently in the old world , and has now come to the new .
Trump is right about the nation , but there is another suicide taking place , and that is of the concept of what used to constitute the principles of being and America , showing once again that nations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from without , but by their own hands from within .

Trump’s comments may seem to feed this sentiment, and that is true. The reason for doing this is to build support for the “Trump stack” while also encouraging anti-Chinese rhetoric.

It is an easy political win. People love to vote for the man who gives them “free money”, and the same applies to Trump. Principles will be thrown away fast as soon as the “Trump stack” arrives, and nobody will stop to consider the consequences of this.
For a while, it was unsure if Trump could win in the 2020 election, and as I warned, how Trump handled this crisis would likely determine if he could win this November. Given his actions and behavior versus that of the Democrats (which was likely choreographed), Trump is clearly emerging as a populist “hero” whose support of nationalism and socialism both continue to grow, which is not even so much his fault, but that of the people, for a nation’s leader is often a reflection of herself in many ways.
As America travels down the roads of nationalism and socialism at the same time, it is for those who see what is happening right now to stop and be very careful, because this road has been taken before. It manifested differently in the old world, and has now come to the new.
Trump is right about the nation, but there is another suicide taking place, and that is of the concept of what used to constitute the principles of being and America, showing once again that nations do not die so much by enemies from without, but by their own hands from within.
