Video : As Trump Honors Nurses At White House , Media Accuses Them Of Breaking Social Distancing Rules “ There ’ s not a single thing I can do to satisfy the media , the Democrats , and the fake news ” As the President hosted a group of frontline nurses and healthcare workers at the White House , a reporter was beset by an overwhelming urge to show that orange man is bad .
“ America ’ s nurses are waging a war against the invisible enemy , ” Trump announced , adding ” They ’ re fighting on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health to save lives of fellow citizens.
” Trump made the comments as he met with six nurses and the presidents of the American Nurses Association and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners , to sign a proclamation in honor of National Nurses Day .
Not good enough for the media however , with one reporter immediately accusing the president of sending the wrong message to Americans for not socially distancing and not wearing masks .
“ I ’ m trying to be nice , I ’ m signing a bill and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Look , here ’ s a story .
There ’ s not a single thing I can do to satisfy the media , the Democrats , and the fake news.
” Trump asserted .
Defending Trump , the president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners Sophia Thomas jumped in , explaining “ We ’ re all COVID-19 free , we were all tested , we ’ re not socially distancing if we ’ re all negative , and we wouldn ’ t do anything to harm our president , obviously.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ reused a mask in New Orleans for a long time , and that PPE was “ sporadic ” for a while where she worked , but was “ manageable.
” “ Sporadic for you , but not sporadic for a lot of other people , ” Trump intervened .
This exchange was then reported by the media with headlines such as “ Donald Trump undermines coronavirus nurse after she complained about ‘ sporadic ’ PPE ” and “ Trump rebukes nurse in White House.
” Those reports did not focus on the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good supplies of PPE .
One of the nurses from New Jersey commented that she can not stand media reports about supposed medical shortages , noting that they unnecessarily worry healthcare staff .
“ It makes it so much worse for us nurses to work , ” she said , adding “ We ’ re seeing the reality of it , but to hear it on constantly … in reality , I ’ m not seeing it .
I ’ m in a hot zone right now.
” “ You know why ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s why , ” Trump replied .

According To A Shocking New Survey, 52% Of Small Businesses “Expect To Be Out Of Business Within Six Months”

According To A Shocking New Survey , 52 % Of Small Businesses “ Expect To Be Out Of Business Within Six Months ” Michael Snyder End of The American Dream May 7 , 2020 Anyone that was hoping for a “ quick recovery ” for the U.S. economy can forget about that right now .
Yes , many states are attempting to “ reopen ” , but in most cases it will be a multi-stage process that takes many months to complete .
Meanwhile , fear of COVID-19 is going to keep many Americans from conducting business as usual even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally lifted .
Even now , many of the stores , restaurants and movie theaters that have reopened are seeing very , very few customers .
Unfortunately , millions of small businesses are not going to be able to survive in such a depressed economic environment for very long .
In America today , the rules of the game are slanted very heavily in favor of huge corporations and are slanted very heavily against small businesses .
It has been this way for years , but millions of small business owners just kept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for themselves and not some corporate behemoth .
But for most small businesses things have never been easy .
For most of them , it is usually such a struggle to try to eke out a very meager profit at the end of the month after covering expenses and payroll .
But now COVID-19 has come along , and many small businesses haven ’ t had any revenue for weeks .
The good news is that the lockdowns are starting to end , but the bad news is that many small business owners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which their monthly revenues will be down by 30 , 40 or 50 percent ( or more ) .
All of a sudden many small businesses that were once barely profitable have been transformed into businesses that are bleeding a lot of cash each month , and many of them simply are not going to make it .
It was always obvious that this pandemic would kill a lot of those businesses , but the true scope of the problem wasn ’ t apparent until now .
According to Bloomberg , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 52 percent of U.S. small business owners “ expect to be out of business within six months ” … Yes , the big corporate giants dominate our society today , but there are still lots and lots of small businesses out there .
Ultimately , we are talking about millions upon millions of businesses that are about to be destroyed… Around the country , governors can choose to end the lockdowns , but they can ’ t order customers to go out and spend money .
And considering the fact that more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the last six weeks , a lot of them don ’ t have money to spend anyway .
But even if everyone was still working , there is a large segment of the population that will simply be afraid to venture into public places as long as this pandemic is going on .
If you doubt this , just consider what we are witnessing in Texas .
Reuters sent a reporter to one of the most popular malls in Austin , and what that reporter discovered is quite sobering… If even 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreseeable future , that is going to be enough to kill millions of small businesses .
So the truth is that we are facing a major national crisis .
A while back , Congress passed a bill that was supposed to help small businesses survive the lockdowns , but as I mentioned in a previous article it looks like that program has been a massive failure… We really are caught in a downward spiral now .
We desperately need to get Americans back to work so that they can start earning paychecks again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , businesses will continue to lay off even more workers in the weeks and months ahead .
Meanwhile , the cost of living is actually going up .
Thanks to the ongoing meat shortages , fresh meat prices are escalating quite rapidly… The economic collapse that so many have been warning about is here , and it is going to continue whether there are lockdowns or not .
Yes , there will be ups and down ahead , and there will be moments of legitimate optimism .
But nobody is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has now begun , and economic conditions will ultimately become far worse than most Americans would dare to imagine .

prisonplanet--2020-05-07--The Number Of Jobs Lost In April Was More Than Double The Total Number Of Jobs Lost During The Last

The Number Of Jobs Lost In April Was More Than Double The Total Number Of Jobs Lost During The Last Recession Yes , you read that headline correctly .
The economic downturn of 2008 and 2009 is often referred to as “ the Great Recession ” because the U.S. had not experienced economic pain of that magnitude since the Great Depression of the 1930s .
Millions of Americans lost their jobs , mortgage defaults soared and Wall Street was shaken to the core .
But as bad as things were during the last recession , things are even worse now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnessing is “ unprecedented ” doesn ’ t do it justice , because what is happening to the U.S. economy in 2020 is truly , truly horrifying , and many believe that what we have experienced so far is just the beginning .
ADP has been tracking private payrolls in the United States for many , many years , and each month their payroll report is watched very carefully by economists .
Prior to this year , the worst month in the history of the ADP report was in February 2009 when 834,665 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Needless to say , that old record just got completely shattered… So what this means is that the number of private payroll jobs lost in the United States last month was more than 24 times greater than the previous all-time record .
In fact , the number of private payroll jobs lost last month was more than double the total number of jobs lost during the last recession… We have never seen an unemployment spike like this ever before , and we may never see a spike quite like it ever again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out there that have been quick to remind me that many of these job losses are “ temporary ” and that millions of Americans will soon be going back to work .
Yes , as states begin to end their lockdowns the U.S. economy will regain millions of the jobs that have been lost .
But there are also millions of jobs that we aren ’ t ever going to get back .
The following comes from a Bloomberg article entitled “ Layoffs Start Turning From Temporary to Permanent Across America ” … @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that have permanently lost their jobs , and you probably do too .
This week , we learned that Lord & Taylor plans to start the process of liquidating , and all of their employees will soon be out on the street on a permanent basis… But much , much , much more importantly , we are about to see a wave of small business failures in the United States that will absolutely dwarf anything that we have ever seen before in our history .
Governors all across America can end the lockdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to go out and spend money .
For many months to come , fear of COVID-19 is going to prevent millions of consumers from resuming their normal economic patterns , and so small businesses all over the country will be facing greatly reduced revenues for the foreseeable future .
Needless to say , many of them aren ’ t going to make it and those that fail are going to have to let all of their workers go .
In an article that I just posted , I discussed a stunning new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all small business owners in the United States “ expect to be out of business within six months ” .
We are talking about millions of businesses that may soon be saying goodbye to all of their employees for good .
Giant corporations have the resources to make it through an extended downturn , but most small businesses do not .
It is hard enough to try to run a profitable small business even when conditions are ideal , but now this pandemic has made that task nearly impossible in many cases .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ recover some of the jobs that were lost during the lockdowns , but we will also continue to bleed more jobs in the months ahead .
I know that a lot of my readers are quite eager for a return to “ normal ” , but we have to realize that the “ old normal ” is gone .
Instead , a “ new normal ” is starting to emerge , and on Tuesday California Governor Gavin Newsom warned that we won ’ t fully get there “ until we get to immunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is exceedingly unlikely that we will reach “ herd immunity ” in the United States before 2021 , and the quest for a “ vaccine ” is not going to be easy .
If you doubt this , just do some research and find out how many other successful coronavirus vaccines there have been in our history .
When they tell you that an easy solution is right around the corner , they aren ’ t being honest with you .
Meanwhile , the U.S. economy is literally imploding all around us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our troubles .
The good news is that COVID-19 is not as deadly as many were originally projecting .
Instead of millions dead , the final death toll in the U.S. will probably only be in the hundreds of thousands .
As this pandemic eventually begins to subside , use it as an opportunity to get prepared for what is coming next , because COVID-19 is definitely not the worst thing we are going to face .

Experts clash over whether the killer coronavirus has mutated as scientists say claims are ‘ unfounded ’ – despite separate study finding the strain in the UK has evolved to be more infectious Scientists have today claimed there is no evidence the coronavirus has mutated into more aggressive strains – despite studies claiming the contrary .

New coronavirus spread swiftly around world from late 2019 , study finds A genetic study of samples from more than 7,500 people infected with COVID-19 suggests the new coronavirus spread quickly around the world after it emerged in China sometime between October and December last year , scientists said on Wednesday .
Scientists at University College London ’ s Genetics Institute found almost 200 recurrent genetic mutations of the new coronavirus – SARS-CoV-2 – which the UCL researchers said showed how it is adapting to its human hosts as it spreads .
“ Phylogenetic estimates support that the COVID-2 pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Dec. 11 , 2019 , which corresponds to the time of the host jump into humans , ” the research team , co-led by Francois Balloux , wrote in a study published in the journal Infection , Genetics and Evolution .

San Antonio City Council has unanimously passed a resolution that declares the terms “ Chinese Virus ” and “ Kung Flu Virus ” to be hate speech .
President Trump and many of his supporters have used variations of both terms as a reminder that COVID-19 did indeed originate in China .
This prompted the media and leftists to claim Trump was being “ racist ” despite the fact that viruses are routinely named after their place of origin .
Now San Antonio City Council has officially declared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ Resolution being voted on by San Antonio City Council this morning labels terms “ Chinese Virus ” and “ Kung Fu Virus ” as hate speech and “ all persons are encouraged to report any such antisemitic , discriminatory or racist incidents to the proper authorities for investigation , ” tweeted reporter Jaie Avila .

Council Member Manny Pelaez said “ hate speech is more dangerous than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact that the virus has killed over 76,000 Americans .

Multimillionaire Celebrities Call For End to Capitalism From The Comfort of Their Luxury Mansions They ’ ll continue to live like royalty while you eat bugs .
Multimillionaire celebrities have signed a petition calling for an end to capitalism from the comfort of their luxury mansions .
The petition , called ‘ Please , let ’ s not go back to normal ’ , says the COVID-19 pandemic is a “ tragedy , ” but that the “ ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis.
” “ The pursuit of consumerism and an obsession with productivity have led us to deny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of plants , that of animals , and that of a great number of human beings , ” states the letter .
“ Pollution , climate change , and the destruction of our remaining natural zones has brought the world to a breaking point.
” The petition urges world leaders to not allow everyone to “ go back to normal ” after the coronavirus pandemic is over .

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--Facebook Censorship Council Includes Pro-Muslim Brotherhood Activist

Facebook ’ s new censorship council , which will decide what content gets deleted from the website , includes a pro-Muslim Brotherhood Yemeni activist .
“ The independent board , which will be able to overturn Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg ’ s decisions on whether individual pieces of content should be allowed on Facebook and Instagram , is a high-profile response to criticism of how the social media company handles problematic content , ” reported Channel News Asia .
The “ oversight board ” will include none other than Nobel Laureate Tawakkol Karman , the Yemeni woman who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arab Spring uprising in 2011 .
Karman ’ s activism includes supporting the Muslim Brotherhood , an Islamist organization that has been blamed for terrorist attacks .
Karman previously denounced arrests of Muslim Brotherhood members and opposed the move to bar the Muslim Brotherhood from participating in Egyptian politics .
In Yemen , the Muslim Brotherhood is led by Abdul Majeed al-Zindani , a Sunni Islamist viewed by the United States as a “ Bin Laden loyalist ” and someone who is listed as a “ Specially Designated Global Terrorist ” by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s tolerance for allowing criticism of Islam on Facebook ’ s platform will be in short supply .
As we highlighted earlier this week , another one of Facebook ’ s censorship czars is none other than anti-Trump Professor Pamela Karlan .
Karlan made a name for herself because of a rant at the impeachment hearings during which she made Barron Trump the punch line of a joke .
Karlan was also described by the New York Times as a “ full-throated , unapologetic liberal torchbearer.
” These are the people who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violate the social media network ’ s increasingly draconian rules .
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr responded to the announcement of the oversight board by slamming it as a partisan fraud .
“ Meet your new speech police , ” said Carr .
“ Facebook now has an Oversight Board empowered to take down posts.
” “ Got ta be non-partisan people , right ?
Nope !
1 is Pam Karlan : testified to impeach @ POTUS , “ baron ” Trump line , Obama DOJ , & NYT calls ‘ full-throated , unapologetic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s decision undermines its claim that posts won ’ t be censored for partisan political reasons .
Karlan testified that ‘ President Trump must be held to account.

Elon Musk says human language will be OBSOLETE in 10 years, after struggling to pronounce his baby’s name on Joe Rogan

Elon Musk says human language will be OBSOLETE in 10 years , after struggling to pronounce his baby ’ s name on Joe Rogan Elon Musk may have chosen a bizarre , cyborg-like name for his newborn child – just try pronouncing “ X Æ A-12 ” – but the billionaire entrepreneur says spoken language itself may soon become obsolete with the rise of new brain tech .
Appearing on another episode of the Joe Rogan Experience on Thursday , the UFC-commentator-slash-podcast-host congratulated Musk on the birth of his sixth son this week , but couldn ’ t help but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , headline-grabbing name .
“ How do you say the name ?
Is it a placeholder ?
” Rogan asked , drawing an awkward laugh from Musk .
“ Well , first of all , my partner is the one that mostly came up with the name… She ’ s great at names , ” Musk said , adding : “ It ’ s just X , the letter X , and then the Æ is pronounced ‘ ash , ’ and A-12 is my contribution ” – which he says stands for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aircraft later developed into the SR-71 Blackbird , the “ coolest plane ever.
” As the conversation drifted into neural nets and artificial intelligence , Musk said “ Neuralink ” technology – a battery-powered device implanted directly into the skull – could be rolled out within the next year , and potentially “ fix almost anything that is wrong with the brain.
” Eventually , in addition to curing disorders like epilepsy , he said language itself could be made obsolete thanks to the new tech – and perhaps unpronounceable baby names along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to communicate very quickly and with far more precision… I ’ m not sure what would happen to language , ” he said , explaining that human beings are “ already partly a cyborg , or an AI symbiote ” whose ‘ hardware ’ is merely in need of an upgrade .
Asked about how long it might take before mankind goes mute , Musk said it could happen in five to 10 years in a “ best-case scenario ” if the technology continues to develop at its currently rapid pace .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s brave new world , he said some might still choose to speak for “ sentimental reasons , ” even when “ mouth noises ” are but a primitive vestige of the past .

The EU rolled over twice for China ’ s communist government , altering a letter by 27 ambassadors and a report on the coronavirus to soften criticism The EU has attempted to defend the fact that it allowed the communist Chinese government to censor a letter it wrote before it was published in a Chinese newspaper , erasing a sentence that stated the coronavirus originated in China .
The letter , co-written by the bloc ’ s 27 ambassadors , was published in China ’ s English-language newspaper China Daily on Tuesday .
However , the EU agreed to allow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stated “ But the outbreak of the coronavirus , in China , and its subsequent spread to the rest of the world over the past three months… ” “ China has state-controlled media .
There is censorship , that ’ s a fact , ” EU foreign affairs spokesperson Virginie Battu-Henriksson told reporters in an attempt to justify bowing to the Chinese censors .
Henriksson suggested that the EU reluctantly agreed to the amendment because it was better than not being able to communicate with a Chinese audience on ‘ key EU issues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rights and the pandemic response .
It is the second time in the space of two weeks that the EU has rolled over for Chinese censorship , having previously softened criticism of the communist regime in a report documenting how governments have pushed “ disinformation ” about the coronavirus pandemic .
The European Union was set to issue the report until Chinese officials “ quickly contacted the European Union ’ s representatives in Beijing to try to kill the report , ” according to two diplomats .
The EU then “ diluted the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partner.
” German conservative politician Norbert Roettgen criticised the EU ’ s actions , stating “ I am shocked not once but twice.
” “ First the EU ambassadors generously adopt Chinese narratives and then the EU representative on top accepts Chinese censorship of the joint op-ed.
” he added .
“ This story beggars belief , ” another EU diplomat told Politico , asking “ What is the point in letting yourself be censored ?
” The source urged that it was an “ embarrassment ” for the EU , adding : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and defending what you believe in would have been very small.

Scientific Research Finds That Closing Borders Is Most Effective Way Of Combatting Coronavirus Air travel is “ the main explanation for the growth rate of COVID-19 ” Scientists in Brazil have found that the countries most affected by the coronavirus spread are the ones who continued to allow unrestricted travel across their borders , prompting further arguments that the most effective method of preventing the spread is tighter frontier controls .
The research , carried out by the Federal University of Bahia in Salvador , suggests that screening and quarantining those coming into countries from outside could have been “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The researchers based their analysis on records of 7,834 airports , using online flight databases documenting 67,600 transport routes in 65 countries .
The scientists factored in a number of forces , including climate , socioeconomic factors , as well economic and air transport , in an attempt to ascertain how the size of outbreaks was affected in 65 countries which had more than 100 cases .
The overwhelming factor was found to be air travel , leading to a conclusion that it is “ the main explanation for the growth rate of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The 2019 – 2020 world spread of COVID-19 highlights that improvements and testing of board control measures ( i.e .

China Says That If It Has To Pay For Coronavirus , US Has To Pay For AIDS , 1918 Spanish Flu “ The US is the one to be held accountable and it should compensate the international society , for the Spanish Flu , AIDS and other epidemics ” In its latest tirade against America , Chinese state media argued Thursday that if lawsuits are filed against the communist state by the US , then international lawsuits should be filed against America for the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the late 1980s and early 1990s , as well as the Spanish Flu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the most notorious propaganda mouth pieces in China , The Global Times published a piece demanding China is “ never the one to be blamed ” for the coronavirus spread , and that the “ arrogance of some American politicians ” should take precedence .
“ Under the logic of some American politicians , the US is the one to be held accountable and it should compensate the international society , for the Spanish Flu , AIDS and other epidemics , ” the piece proclaimed .
It also pointed to America ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financial crisis which led to the collapse of countless enterprises and individuals.
” The piece also said America should be liable for “ the wars launched against other countries the over the years which have caused millions of innocent civilian casualties and numerous property losses.
” It is not the first time China ’ s propaganda has brought up AIDS in relation to coronavirus culpability .
The Global Times claimed in April that “ If the U.S. really acts that way , it would open a Pandora ’ s box and result in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sovereignty immunity system .
It would mean anyone could sue the U.S. government in their own countries – an AIDS patient could sue it for compensation , for example.
” Several states in the US have filed lawsuits against China , to be heard through the International Court of Justice .
It is unprecedented , however , for such cases to have success due to sovereign immunity .
The US passed a law in 2016 allowing Americans to sue the government of Saudi Arabia for damages related to the 9/11 attacks .
Congress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would pave the way for action against China .
The state of Missouri is seeking a workaround by suing the Communist Party itself , rather than the People ’ s Republic of China .
“ On information and belief , the Communist Party is not an organ or political subdivision of the PRC , nor is it owned by the PRC or a political subdivision of the PRC , and thus it is not protected by sovereign immunity , ” the lawsuit states .

America Has Become A Powder Keg That Is Ready To Explode At Any Time Michael Snyder End Of The American Dream May 8 , 2020 Have you noticed that people are a lot more emotional these days ?
People are angry about the lockdowns , people are angry because others are not “ properly ” observing the social distancing rules , people are angry about losing their jobs , people are angry about the shortages in the stores , and more than anything else people are angry at our politicians .
Even before COVID-19 came along , I was repeatedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a very dangerous level in this country , and now this pandemic has made things far worse .
If you doubt this , just log on to Facebook and read some of the “ discussions ” that people are having about this coronavirus .
Many of those “ discussions ” rapidly devolve into venom spewing contests , and sometimes this is still true even if people are theoretically on the same side .
There is so much anger and frustration out there right now , and it is only going to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election day .
Thankfully , so far we don ’ t have the sort of widespread civil unrest that we are already seeing in other nations , but the stage is certainly being set for it .
The American people don ’ t like being forced to put their lives on hold , they don ’ t like all of the new rules that have been forced upon them because of this pandemic , and they are deeply frustrated with our politicians for being unable to instantly fix things .
Of course there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy answers .
The U.S. economy has already lost 33 million jobs , and millions more will be lost in the weeks ahead .
Meanwhile , more than 76,000 Americans have already died from the coronavirus , and the overall death toll in this country is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands .
In an environment such as this , people are going to have shorter fuses than usual , and it isn ’ t going to take much to get people to lash out in frustration .
One of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have witnessed lately occurred in Austin , Texas… It is quite foolish to push a law enforcement officer into a lake , but the social distancing restrictions are frustrating people so much that many of them are not thinking rationally .
And in this environment it certainly isn ’ t going to take much to push law enforcement officials over the edge either .
Americans were stunned when video footage emerged of New Jersey police officers relentlessly beating young men with their batons for violating the social distancing rules… Sadly , I expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in our streets like that in the months ahead .
Right now , virtually the entire country is in a really bad mood , and unfortunately some people will choose to resort to violence .
And it can happen in places that you might not expect .
For instance , an argument over social distancing rules at a McDonald ’ s in Oklahoma resulted in three people getting shot… I ’ ll never understand why people commit these sorts of acts of senseless violence .
But as our world gets even crazier , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be going off the deep end .
Our nation is so deeply divided , and explosions of anger and hatred are becoming increasingly common .
So many Americans are willing to “ shoot first and ask questions later ” , and the shooting of a 25-year-old African-American man in Georgia is causing a national uproar… On Thursday , we learned that the father and son that chased Arbery down have been arrested .
But even though they have been arrested now , it appears that this case will deepen the very deep racial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I truly wish that we could all learn how to love one another , but instead I continue to see hatred rise all over America .
Needless to say , one of the big reasons why Americans hate one another these days is because of politics .
November is right around the corner , and we will likely see tremendous outbursts of anger and frustration both before and after the election .
Meanwhile , economic conditions will continue to deteriorate , and millions of Americans will become increasingly desperate .
Already , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nation… Many Americans can deal with short-term shortages , but if these shortages stretch into the summer months a whole lot of people are going to become extremely frustrated .
Overall , I have never seen so much anger and frustration in the United States in my entire lifetime , and it is truly a recipe for disaster .
Unfortunately , I expect anger and frustration to continue to grow in the months ahead , and we could be building up to a very dangerous crescendo later in the year .

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--We Are Witnessing Economic Carnage Like We Have Never Seen Before, And The Economy Is Going To Conti

We Are Witnessing Economic Carnage Like We Have Never Seen Before, And The Economy Is Going To Continue To Bleed Jobs

We Are Witnessing Economic Carnage Like We Have Never Seen Before , And The Economy Is Going To Continue To Bleed Jobs Now we are up to 33.5 million jobs lost .
In just 7 weeks , the U.S. economy has been completely turned upside down , and the numbers are unlike anything that we have ever seen before .
On Thursday , the Labor Department announced that 3.17 million Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits last week .
That brings the grand total for this crisis up to 33.5 million , and that figure absolutely dwarfs what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as I discussed yesterday , even the mainstream media is now admitting that millions of those jobs are never coming back .
Yes , some Americans will be going back to work now that the lockdowns are being ended , but for now it is being projected that the job losses will continue to surpass any gains that are made by workers that are returning to their old jobs .
In fact , one prominent economist told CNBC that it will likely take until mid-June before the number of Americans filing new claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a million… To put that in perspective , prior to this year the all-time record for a single week was just 695,000 .
So even when we get down to a million new claims each week , that will still be a catastrophic level .
And the truth is that these numbers don ’ t even tell the entire story .
Because state unemployment websites have been so overwhelmed , there are vast numbers of unemployed Americans that still have not been able to successfully file claims .
One of those unemployed Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been trying day after day , and she still hasn ’ t been successful .
So for now she doesn ’ t have a single penny coming in , and she has three hungry kids to feed… Could you imagine being in her situation ?
When you have little ones depending on you , it can be absolutely soul crushing to have nothing to provide .
Sadly , the job losses just continue to roll on .
This week , several more big companies have publicly announced layoffs… If you were assuming that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to where it was before , you can forget about that right now .
In fact , Bob Michele told Bloomberg that it may be more than a decade before U.S. employment returns to the levels that we saw prior to this pandemic… Ladies and gentlemen , this is what an economic depression looks like , and it is going to be with us for the foreseeable future .
Of course Congress certainly didn ’ t help matters when they created a big , fat juicy incentive for people to stay unemployed .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of unemployed workers are now bringing home a lot more money than when they were actually working… Worse still , the final numbers will likely be hurt even more due to the bailout itself : as a reminder , the Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security ( CARES ) Act , passed on March 27 , could contribute to new records being reached in coming weeks as it increases eligibility for jobless claims to self-employed and gig workers , extends the maximum number of weeks that one can receive benefits , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week until July 31 .
A recent WSJ article noted that this has created incentives for some businesses to temporarily furlough their employees , knowing that they will be covered financially as the economy is shutdown .
Meanwhile , those making below $ 50k will generally be made whole and possibly be better off on unemployment benefits .
I certainly don ’ t understand why Congress would do such a thing .
If only we had elected at least a few people that could have brought some common sense to that institution… Getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get more evidence that we are in the midst of a complete and utter economic implosion with each passing day .
For example , we just learned that orders for Class 8 trucks in April were down a whopping 73 percent compared to a year ago… Virtually every corner of the economy is dramatically slowing down , and that is going to force more layoffs in the months ahead .
As I discussed yesterday , one survey just found that 52 percent of all small business owners expect to be out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Traditionally , small businesses are the primary engine of job growth in this country , but now they are going to be failing at an unprecedented rate .
One of those small businesses that is in the process of failing belongs to wedding invitation designer Emily Rose Asher… I have such respect for people that create a business out of nothing and slowly nurture it into a success .
But now fear of COVID-19 threatens to kill millions of such businesses .
In other words , millions of hard working Americans are about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smoke right in front of their eyes .
It is a tragedy of almost unimaginable proportions , and I wish that it wasn ’ t happening .
But it is happening , and what is truly sad is that all of this could have been avoided if we had made much different choices .

One thing that should be abundantly clear by now is that any thoughts , opinions , or speculation which challenges the official narratives regarding COVID-19 will be promptly silenced by Silicon Valley , under the guise of protecting the public – which apparently can ’ t be trusted to absorb information and form their own opinions .

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--When Governments Switched Their Story From “Flatten The Curve” To “Lockdown Until Vaccine”

When Governments Switched Their Story From “ Flatten The Curve ” To “ Lockdown Until Vaccine ” In the early days of the COVID-19 panic – back in mid-March – articles began to appear pushing the idea of “ flattening the curve ” ( the Washington Post ran an article called “ Flatten the Curve ” on March 14 ) .
This idea was premised on spreading out the total number of COVID-19 infections over time , so as to not overburden the healthcare infrastructure .
A March 11 article for Statnews , summed it up : In those days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggest outlawing jobs for millions of Americans or “ shutting down ” entire national economies in an effort to “ flatten the curve.
” Thus , the article lists for more moderate mitigation strategies : What we got , of course , was something much more far reaching , radical , and disastrous for both the economy and for long-term health problems .
For the next two weeks or so , governments mostly sold the idea of forced social distancing as a measure to “ flatten the curve ” and the phrase began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ publications and government announcements .
Many people found this message to be reasonable enough , especially when coupled with claims that hospitals and governments would seek to buy up large numbers of ventilators and expand capacity with temporary hospitals .
This flatten the curve narrative persisted for two weeks or so , but at some point in late March and early April , the narrative switched to something new .
The new narrative was this : the death toll will simply be too gruesome and unbearable to allow people to continue on with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So , we must keep society locked down indefinitely until a vaccine is found or until there can be enough testing and tracking for surveillance of infections among the entire population .
Until then , only minimal “ essential ” activities will be allowed .
This could last eighteen months , or two years , or more .
And even then , there will need to be “ COVID passports ” and official freedom-to-work documents issued by governments .
The future is one in which every move must be controlled and monitored to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thus , on April 2 , one of the lead bureaucrats on the White House ’ s COVID-19 advisory commission insisted mandatory social distancing could not be eased until further notice : Similarly , former presidential advisor and physician Ezekiel Emmanuel flatly stated that there is “ no choice ” but to stay locked down indefinitely : This messaging was used at the state level as well .
On April 9 , for example , the Hawaii Department of Education announced all “ public schools are expected to stay shut until COVID-19 is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defined as four weeks with no new cases.
” Needless to say , such a situation is unlikely to happen any time that ’ s soon enough to save Hawaii from an economic implosion .
Similarly in Colorado , during an April 1 briefing , Governor Jared Polis stated when it comes to COVID-19 , his policy is “ stamping this out , ” and claimed mandatory social distancing cold not be eased until total cases were falling .
This switcheroo on the reason for the lockdowns was a great victory for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some WHO officials had come out in favor of the Chinese approach of draconian lockdowns imposed by the Chinese police state and surveillance state .
As noted by Statnews , Mike Ryan , the head of the WHO ’ s health emergencies program , embraced the Chinese “ containment ” strategy and denounced flatten-the-curve style “ mitigation ” strategies as “ counterproductive.
” Perhaps not surprisingly , by early April we had leading national figures in the US insisting China-style lockdowns were the only way to deal with the disease .
“ Flatten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a slogan , but its meaning had changed .
Early May : Back to the Old Meaning of “ Flatten the Curve ” By early May , it was clear that the “ containment ” strategy was failing since , in the United States at least , few elected officials were prepared to stomach the idea of keeping their economies locked down until a vaccine appeared or until new cases disappeared completely .
After all , as unemployment numbers skyrocketed and state and local government budgets cratered , “ lockdown until vaccine ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viable strategy anymore .
Indeed , two weeks earlier , the Hawaii Department of Education had already abandoned its declaration about the need for no new cases with the Department director backpedaling furiously and stating : By late April , numerous states governors and municipal officials were discussing ways to scale back their lockdowns .
Many governors and mayors nonetheless continued to claim they would not allow any easing of lockdowns until cases began to decline , or until testing became widespread .
Neither of those things have happened , yet governments have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In many states , total deaths have plateaued , but show no sign of disappearing .

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--China’s COVID Cover-Up, Economic War, & The Elites Who Benefit

The problem with wars , beyond all the death and destruction they cause , is that they are almost never fought for the reasons that governments claim .
In most cases there is an underlying agenda which the public may or may not discover many decades later , and such agendas are NOT for our benefit .
Wars rarely erupt over mere unplanned circumstance .
Wars are rarely random .
War is a tool for social engineering because it creates widespread crisis for the unprepared masses , and as the unprepared scramble for safety , the state can institute authoritarian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peacetime .
Not only this , but in our modern era over the past century there has been a distinct pattern following the aftermath of each war in which power and governance is centralized .
Every time disaster strikes , the proposed solution is centralization and global government .
You would think the political elites would offer some new ideas after 100 years , but no , they only have one idea that they try to sell to us relentlessly .
Today the American people find themselves in the middle of numerous wars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ war ” on the coronavirus , and the economic war on China .
Neither fight is meant to keep us safe , and both serve the interests of a highly select group of people .
Getting people to understand this , though , is a difficult task .
Certain assumptions are almost always present in war , and the biggest assumption made by people is that the fight is between two governments and two nations .
This is usually not the case .
In fact , the real fight is the governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the common citizens of both nations .
This fact is backed by considerable evidence collected by researchers like Antony Sutton .
His book ‘ Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution ’ as well as his book ‘ Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler ’ outline a clear and provable conspiracy by global elites to fund both sides of any given conflict and then benefit through further globalization when the ashes settle .
I have been warning for many years about this same dynamic being created between the US and the East , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ articles on what I call the “ false East/West paradigm ” , I give ample evidence that the very same money elites which control Washington also greatly influence nations like China through a shared ideology .
Yes , that ’ s right , the elites of China and the elites of the US are on the same team and have the same goals .
There is no war , at least not at the top of the pyramid .
Their stated goals include the creation of a one world digital currency system controlled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 24/7 surveillance society in which every person on the planet is tracked through biometrics and through the blockchain .
Without the tracking , participation is denied .
In other words , you submit or you starve .
The pandemic , or the war on the “ invisible enemy ” as Trump calls it , is an excellent cover event for these goals .
China has already launched its own tracking apps and immunity passports using cell phones and QR codes .
These same measures are being pushed forward here in the US by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci .
The revelation that China ’ s Wuhan Lab received millions of dollars in funding from the US government for work on SARS-like viruses , greenlit by none other than Dr. Fauci in 2015 , is but one of many instances in a long trail of aid and support that came from the West and the UN to China , from weapons development to economic support to viral research .
Did the US help create a monster ?
If we did , it was a monster that the elites absolutely wanted and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have long believed that China would be the primary villain used as a catalyst to trigger the “ economic reset ” that the globalists desire , but the roles of the US and China will remain ambiguous and amoral as this conflict drags on .
For many in the US , China is seen as an economic pirate and now the cause of the coronavirus pandemic .
As I noted in last week ’ s article , this is in some ways true but not the whole truth .
Without the aid ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governments and the World Health Organization , the spread of the pandemic would not have been possible .
Now , the other big distraction , the trade war , is about to return to mainstream discussion , and in the trade war we see the forever war unfold .
To be clear , the trade war never ended .
I have said that the Phase 1 deal was a farce of epic proportions and that it was designed to fail as China would never be able to fulfill the promises they made to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ll never know now as the coronavirus has become the prevailing excuse to nix the trade deal and accelerate trade tensions .
Of course , in this case Trump plays the monster as he initiates renewed trade attacks on China in the middle of a global crisis ; at least , that is what the mainstream media is saying .
I predicted that this would happen back in January .
In fact , CNN even cites the comparison between Trump and Herbert Hoover at the onset of the Great Depression – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2018 .
In this scenario , Trump continues to play the role of bumbling conservative villain for leftists and much of the socialist world though it is really their globalist “ heroes ” doing most of the damage , while China plays the villain for US conservatives as they rally around Trump , a puppet and pied piper leading them to disaster .
Scrutiny over China ’ s role in suppressing the source of the virus as well as the real numbers of infected and dead is creating unprecedented tensions between East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are meant to forget in all of this the fact that the elites in the West kept flights going for weeks after human-to-human transmission was identified and thousands had died in China .
We are also meant to forget that Trump and Dr. Fauci denied any threat from the virus for months and defended Chinese data back in January .
The pandemic tango needs at least two dancers to successfully spread .
China did not act alone .
For now , Trump has announced the possibility of increased tariffs for China .
China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cover-up with warnings of a possible war with the US .
China has expanded into the South China Sea during the pandemic which is being treated as an exploitation of the crisis .
But ultimately I think the war will be primarily an economic one , as this serves the interests of the globalists most .
The primary target , in my view , is the US dollar ’ s world reserve status along with the US economy .
With the pandemic speeding up the process of nations going cashless , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will end the dollar ’ s long time roll as world reserve .
Add to this the huge crash in oil demand and oil prices to which the dollar derives much of its power , as well as the fact that the Fed has printed another $ 6 trillion which has barely stalled the market collapse and has not solved any of the underlying deflationary problems .
We now have a recipe for what is sometimes called a “ stagflationary event ” , which means price inflation in certain necessities and hard assets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy .
Foreign Treasury bond holdings will probably continue to dwindle as this event progresses .
Dollars are sought after for now , but this will change as more and more nations go digital .
For people in the US , I believe the intent is to convince us that China has ruined everything – our health , our economy , our dollar , etc .
I think the war , in one form or another , is supposed to last for a very long time ; at least , until the globalists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed to forget all about the globalists and their creation of the very conditions that led to this collapse in the first place .
Is the Chinese government being falsely accused ?
No , they are a part of the problem and they did indeed help cause a global pandemic and financial crash , but they are not the whole problem .
And this is where big lies gain power – All big lies contain a kernel of truth .
As the crisis events and distractions continue to build , on both sides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ currently implementing a technocratic tyranny of epic proportions .
The common people on both sides end up suffering , and unless they are stopped soon , the elites will end up the only winners .

Tucker Carlson began “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” Thursday by addressing the Justice Department ’ s decision to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn .
“ There is a passionate debate underway right now among political partisans over the Justice Department ’ s decision to drop the case against General Flynn .
They ’ re screaming , ” Carlson said .
“ But there shouldn ’ t be a debate because there actually isn ’ t a debate about why the case was dropped .
We already know .
DOJ officials explained it in detail today.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a crime and they knew it .
How did they know ?
Because the FBI had already tapped Michael Flynn ’ s phone , which itself is a shocking outrage , completely unacceptable in a free country , ” Carlson said .
“ But for some reason , nobody in Washington seems to notice or care about it .
They should.
” [ … ] “ We almost didn ’ t find out what really happened in this case .
Michael Flynn almost went to prison .
And that gets to the nub @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question of all , how often does the FBI set people up ?
” Carlson asked .
“ How many other lives have they destroyed without the public knowing about it ?
In other words , this isn ’ t about Michael Flynn .
It ’ s about you .

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--VIDEO: After DOJ Drops Charges, Michael Flynn Posts Video of Grandson Reciting Pledge of Allegiance

VIDEO : After DOJ Drops Charges , Michael Flynn Posts Video of Grandson Reciting Pledge of Allegiance After the Department of Justice formally dropped its criminal charges against General Michael Flynn on Thursday , the former National Security Advisor uploaded a video of his grandson reciting the pledge of allegiance .
In the video , Flynn ’ s grandson Travis , sitting in a toddler-sized chair and twirling an American flag in his hands and holding the children ’ s book “ I Love You Americanly ” in his lap is heard reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in a singing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ successfully completes the final words .
The toddler ’ s family is heard cheering as he finishes , and Flynn says “ All right buddy !
” Earlier this afternoon , news broke that the criminal charges against Flynn were dropped , after bombshell documents were obtained suggesting that the FBI led a conspiracy against Flynn , seeking to see him lose his position as President Donald Trump ’ s National Security Advisor at a minimum , and potentially see him sent to prison .
The Justice Department has announced that it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump ’ s ex-National Security Advisor .
In court documents that were filed on Thursday and obtained by the Associated Press , the Justice Department said the criminal case against Flynn was being dropped “ after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case , including newly discovered and disclosed information.
” Prosecutors at the Justice Department and the FBI had maintained that Flynn had lied in an interview to the FBI about conversations he had had with the Russian ambassador .
However , the Justice Department now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was “ untethered to , and unjustified by , the FBI ’ s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn ” and that it was “ conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.
” A new documentary was also released this week , showing how the FBI , led by its disgraced former Director James Comey , attempted to railroad the Trump administration by ensuring individuals like Flynn would be unable to be part of government .
The mini-documentary , titled , “ American COUP : How James Comey and The Deep State Tried To Overthrow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s past skirmishes with the establishment dating back to his service as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Obama administration .
Flynn ’ s belief that he was forced out of the DIA because of his hardline stance on Islamic terrorism is noted in the documentary , which pieces together the story line of Flynn ’ s persecution by the FBI using videos and commentary from legal experts , political figures , and Fynn and Comey themselves .
Comey ’ s own testimony that his agency deliberately misled Flynn about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House that led to Flynn ’ s removal from the administration is highlighted in the video , as is Senator Chuck Schumer ’ s sinister commentary on the case , “ If you take on the intelligence community they have six ways from Sunday of gettin ’ back at you.

prisonplanet--2020-05-08--1.4 Million People to Die From Untreated TB Due to Coronavirus Lockdown

1.4 Million People to Die From Untreated TB Due to Coronavirus Lockdown Around 1.4 million people are expected to die from untreated TB infections due to the coronavirus lockdown , according to research published by Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University .
“ Up to 6.3 million more people are predicted to develop TB between now and 2025 and 1.4 million more people are expected to die as cases go undiagnosed and untreated during lockdown , ” reports the Guardian .
The figures are based on the premise of a 3 month lockdown and a 10-month period of restoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ditiu , head of a global partnership to end tuberculosis , said she was “ sickened ” by the revelation and that the situation would set back global efforts to end TB by eight years .
“ The fact that we ’ ve rolled back to 2013 figures and we have so many people dying , this for me is sickening , ” said Ditiu .
“ I am outraged that just by not being able to control what we do … and forgetting about programmes that exist we lose so much , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people.
” Concentrating on finding a vaccine for COVID-19 will also delay efforts to find an adult vaccine for TB , which kills 1.5 million people a year , more than any other infectious disease .
Coronavirus has claimed the lives of 275,000 people globally so far .
As we previously highlighted , a data analyst consortium in South Africa found that the economic consequences of the country ’ s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself .
Professor Richard Sullivan also warned that there will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK than total coronavirus deaths due to people ’ s access to screenings and treatment being restricted as a result of the lockdown .
His comments were echoed by Peter Nilsson , a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at Lund University , who said , “ It ’ s so important to understand that the deaths of COVID-19 will be far less than the deaths caused by societal lockdown when the economy is ruined.
” This once again begs the question , if the lockdowns were supposed to save lives and yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in other areas – what was the point ?

Elon Musk Says He ‘ Sympathizes ’ With Anti-Globalist Movement “ We don ’ t want ever want everywhere to be the same.
” During his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast , Elon Musk said he sympathized with the anti-globalization movement because “ we don ’ t ever want everywhere to be the same.
” The context of the conversation was how civilizations rise and fall and are negatively affected by hive mind thinking , a concept Musk referred to as the “ mind virus.
” “ I do think that the globalization that we have at the memesphere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between countries or regions .
If there ’ s a mind virus , that mind virus can infect too much of the world , ” said Musk .
“ I actually sort of sympathize with the anti-globalization people because we don ’ t ever want everywhere to be the same for sure and we need some kind of mind viral immunity , ” he remarked , adding , “ That ’ s a bit concerning.
” The Tesla founder clarified that he was talking about a concept that “ happens right now ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he may have been referring to the coronavirus panic .
“ When I ’ m talking about the mind virus , I ’ m talking about a concept that infects people ’ s minds , ” said Musk , describing it as a “ wrongheaded idea that goes viral in an idea sense.
