prisonplanet--2020-07-29--The Nation Is Falling Into the Abyss Between Wall Street And Main Street

The Nation Is Falling Into the Abyss Between Wall Street And Main Street The abyss between the Fed ’ s illusion of phantom wealth for Wall Street and the collapse of Main Street is bottomless , and our descent into the abyss is accelerating .
I know this runs counter to every dominant narrative , but a vaccine doesn ’ t really matter , opening up doesn ’ t really matter , and the size of the “ free money ” stimulus checks doesn ’ t matter .
What matters is that the nation is falling into the abyss that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Main Street , and nothing will stave off the collapse of the social order other than a fundamental re-ordering of the way we create and distribute money and political power , as money buys political influence .
The last economic tide with widespread benefits to Main Street was 30 years ago .
Since then , the Federal Reserve and other central banks have incentivized globalization and financialization , two dynamics that favor mobile capital and financier skims amd scams .
There are a number of factors behind the widening canyon of economic inequality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Financialization has given those with access to central bank credit ways to skim great wealth from the system without creating any value whatsoever .
Financialization isn ’ t a consequence of having capital : it ’ s the consequence of having access to unlimited central bank credit , leverage and low-risk , low-tax skimming operations ( for example , tax codes enable hedge funds to declare income as low-tax long-term capital gains ) .
Leveraging phantom collateral is another feature of financialization .
Commoners were allowed a taste of this when subprime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mortgages back in 2004-2007 .
Phantom income was posted as collateral for the nothing-but-leverage loan .
Financialization is not about investing in productive enterprises ; it ’ s all about skimming wealth while providing no value to the real economy or society .
The hidden toxin in financialization is the resulting concentration of wealth can buy concentrations of political power .
Financialization is thus self-perpetuating : once the skimming operations generate billions of dollars in profit , it only takes a relatively small piece of these profits to buy/influence the political class .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the regulators and judiciary fall into line or are marginalized by new statutes or gutted budgets .
Financialization is the disease eating away what ’ s left of democracy .
Financialization is the exploitation of assets/income that were previously safe from predation by central bank funded financiers .
While definitions vary , mine is : Financialization is the commoditization of debt collaterized by previously unsecuritized assets , a pyramiding of risk and speculation that is only possible in a massive expansion of low-cost credit and leverage for those at the top of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and corporations .
One example is the student loan “ industry , ” which prior to financialization did not exist .
A previously safe from predation asset/source of income–college degrees–has been securitized so that loans issued to students for largely worthless diplomas can be sold globally as “ secure assets with guaranteed yields.
” That the exploited class of students have little to no income and no guarantee of income doesn ’ t matter .
What matters is a previously unexploited asset can be turned into debt that can be sold at an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debt has skyrocketed from near-zero to $ 1.6 trillion in less than a generation .
This rapacious , ruthless exploitation would not have been possible without the central bank ( Federal Reserve ) and federal government enabling and enforcing the supremacy of private capital and the predation of the higher-education cartel .
Globalization and financialization have been the two engines of soaring wealth inequality .
Globalization can mean many things , but its beating heart is the arbitraging of the labor of the powerless and commodity , environmental and tax costs by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In other words , globalization is the result of those at the top of the wealth-power pyramid shifting borrowed capital around the world to exploit lower costs of labor , commodities , environmental regulations and taxes .
This manifests as offshoring of jobs , the stripmining of forests , minerals , etc.
, the degradation of local ecosystems , the decline of tax revenues derived from capital and the explosive rise in stock market valuations as wages stagnate or decline .
A key element in globalization is the transfer of risk from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and public resources .
Examples of this transfer of risk abound : rather than pay workers benefits , corporations game part-time/full-time labor laws so workers ’ health insurance is paid by taxpayers ( Medicaid ) .
Corporations pay wages too low to survive so workers depend on public-sector assistance ( food stamps , etc . )
Alas , all good predations end when the prey has been dragged to the ground and consumed .
All the fruit of financialization and globalization have been plucked by the powerful , and now both the engines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hollowed-out Main Street economy implodes .
Central bank free money for financiers doesn ’ t create collateral or creditworthy borrowers , and without those foundations , the decayed , rotted shack of debt will collapse .
If we set aside the proximate causes of social disorder , we discern the salient cause : the socio-economic political system no longer works for anyone but those skimming wealth from globalization and financialization .
Main Street has been in slow-motion collapse for a generation , but this terminal decay was masked by hyper-financialization and debt-fueled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filling the widening gap between their income ( stagnant ) and the costs of their lifestyle ( rising ) , as they chased the top 5 % who benefited from globalization and financialization .
Debt creates the warm and fuzzy illusion of wealth , but at a cost : debt payments never disappear , but income and profits can slide effortlessly to zero .
We come now to the key dynamic of this era : socio-economic psychosis , as most people are incapable of making sense of the contradictory messages being given by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is madness , as every attempt to reconcile the contradictory messages veers further way from reality .
The relentless rise of Wall Street is constantly presented as “ proof ” the status quo is “ creating wealth ” and is enormously successful .
It is impossible to reconcile this claim with the decay and collapse visible in Main Street , and so people lash out at whatever they can identify as the proximate cause of their suffering and poor prospects .
Ask yourself these questions : What kind of system will we get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ created out of thin air by central banks goes to financiers and corporations ?
What kind of system will we get if these financiers and corporations use some of this free money to buy political influence ?

prisonplanet--2020-07-29--When It Comes To Masks, There Is No “Settled Science”

When It Comes To Masks , There Is No “ Settled Science ” As the “ fifteen days to slow the spread ” continues to extend indefinitely , the issue of mask mandates has become increasingly contentious .
The debate has been exacerbated by the inconsistency of the recommendations of authorities ( political , scientific , and imaginary ) .
Early in the pandemic , both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and the World Health Organization ( WHO ) advised against the use of masks , except by those who are particularly vulnerable ( the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Many of us with some understanding of economics made such arguments at the outset of the debate , not necessarily because of any epidemiological expertise .
When you understand the principle of scarcity , policies mandating that healthy teenagers vie for medical products with their more vulnerable grandparents is a formula for exacerbating the most severe outcome of any viral infection .
In fairness , many medical experts raised exactly these concerns , even if they did not enjoy the media attention of their more demagogic counterparts .
Regardless of whether or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is heartening to see how well entrepreneurs adapted to the spiked demand , making masks cheaply available in various designs , sizes , and materials , solving the problem of fear-driven people trying to steal masks from emergency rooms .
Of course , the dazzling speed of the market response obscures the fact that the adaptation to new conditions and an ostensible emergency would have been even more immediate had private businesses not been forced to wait on Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) approval to sell masks to healthcare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in market societies seek to fulfill demand irrespective of whether said demand is based on rational science , delusional belief , or anything in between .
The refrain I ’ ve heard many times is that “ the science has proven ” the effectiveness of masks .
Of course , the claim that science has “ proven ” anything is a red flag for what F.A .
Hayek called “ Scientism ” —the “ slavish imitation of the method and language of Science.
” 1 While scientists never “ prove ” any theory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ literature on the efficacy of face masks , and it certainly supports skepticism of the mask mandate .
A number of the leading researchers on respiratory protection and infectious disease published editorials early in the pandemic denying the efficacy of masks-for-all policies , arguing that they may lead to more harm than good ( see also this editorial , though it is worth noting that some of the concern was that such policies would make people more comfortable with easing lockdown restrictions , a separate issue beyond the focus of this article ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , actually defending universal masking despite the evident ineffectiveness of the policy , arguing that “ masks serve symbolic roles ” in helping to “ increase health care workers ’ perceived sense of safety , well-being , and trust in their hospitals.
” In other words , masks are beneficial as long as we believe they are , even if they ’ re actually pointless .
The literature on masks broadly looks at the efficacy of different types of masks and their efficacy at preventing particle penetration ( controlled studies ) and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of healthcare workers ) .
Other studies question the detrimental effects of masks , particularly with prolonged use .
Cloth masks , which have become the norm for public use , have been shown to have penetration rates as high as 97 % according to a BMJ study ( which used to stand for the British Medical Journal , but is now titled by its acronym ) .
A study of the use of cloth masks during the far more serious 1918 influenza pandemic showed no beneficial results , and another study demonstrates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with medical masks .
Surgical and cotton medical masks fared better , but still with discouraging results overall ( see here , here , here , here , and here ) .
As masks-for-all advocates are quick to point out , N95 respirators do show beneficial results in containing viral infections , but these are virtually unworn by the public ( and they have only recently become available to those outside of the healthcare profession ) .
However , their effectiveness appears to be dependent upon whether they are properly fitted , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of N95 masks would have a marginal to nonexistent effect , as evident from another study that looked at the layperson ’ s ability to properly secure N95 respirators .
The potential harm of mask wearing is especially relevant , as the logic of many people is that wearing a mask can do no harm even if it is ineffective .
These studies are revealing as well .
A number of studies show that mask wearers actually have an increased likelihood of viral infection ( an increase that corresponds to the length of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ several potential contributing factors for these results .
Several studies measured the bacteria found on masks themselves , suggesting that even if short-term masking ( such as visiting an immunocompromised patient in the hospital ) may be beneficial , prolonged use may compromise the usefulness of the mask ( see here , here , here , here , and here ) .
Other theories explaining why masks sometimes appear to produce increased rates of infection point to the compromised immune function caused by oxygen deprivation , which can also produce harmful effects , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see here , here , here , here , here , and here ) .
The point here is not to say that masks are entirely useless in all circumstances .
The literature , rather , strongly suggests that the usefulness of masks depends on a significant number of factors—type , fit , length of use , purpose , and circumstances—which are effectively impossible to account for in public universal-masking policies .
The science , contrary to the ignorant platitudes we are bombarded with , has not proven that universal masking is effective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provided substantial grounds for skepticism of such a policy .
It is also worth noting that even when looking at the literature , presentation can be misleading .
One study demonstrating the efficacy of surgical masks on the public , in contradiction to similar studies , concludes that they can prevent viral spread .
However , the explanation of method ( a section academic readers typically skip unless they are conducting similar research ) states that , “ To mimic the real-life situation , under the observation by the study staff participants were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but instruction on how to wear the mask properly was given when the participant wore the mask incorrectly ” ( emphasis added ) .
These problems may be innocent , but research motivations are not irrelevant .
While a number of studies call into question the benefits of surgical masks during procedures , a 2015 study from the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine admitted a revealing motivation behind the research .
In fairness to the researchers , other studies corroborate their findings , but the fact that it took a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question is not unimportant .
It not only demonstrates the relationship between motivations and research assumptions , but also reminds us of the problems of letting a central planner allocate healthcare resources in the first place ( Who would have thought surgical masks would be included in debates over healthcare budgeting ? )
.
They have also long been pointing out detrimental and counterproductive effects of mask wearing , again varying according to the particular situation , which brings up the most important question of mask mandates .
Most objections are not to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandate , and well-documented consequences such as oxygen deprivation should give anybody pause when considering a legal requirement of wearing masks in public .
We already see that most people ( not just Democrats ) wear masks in public regardless of mandates ( some , undoubtedly , only so mask warriors leave them alone ) , but it is entirely irresponsible and unethical to impose such a practice on anybody .

Cops are sick of being subjugated and defunded by Democrats The Associated Press reported Tuesday that more than 100 police agencies across the country have ditched previous agreements to provide security for the Democratic National Convention , scheduled to take place in Milwaukee in August .
The report notes that the move by cops is a reaction to Democrat responses to the anti-police unrest that has raged throughout the Summer .
“ They were concerned with directives placed on the police department , including not allowing tear gas or pepper spray , ” said Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of commitment to provide the Milwaukee Police Department with the resources it needs to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters , attendees , citizens and police personnel , ” noted Wisconsin , Franklin Police Chief Rick Oliva .

“ I understand that use of chemical irritants and pepper spray is serious and those are to be used only when legally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the continuum that doesn ’ t leave the officers much other than getting harmed or using deadly force and that ’ s not good for any officer or the public , ” Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson also warned .
The reaction of police is hardly surprising given that Democrats have introduced reforms to hamper police , and even expressed support for calls to defund the police .
Democrat Ilhan Omar ( MN ) even described police as a “ cancer , ” adding “ we are saying we don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the root , and so when we dismantle it , we get rid of that cancer , and we allow for something beautiful to rise , and that reimagining allows us to figure out what public safety looks like for us , ” Omar said during a speech at a protest in June .

Video : Fauci Dismisses Frontline Doctors As “ A Bunch Of People Spouting Something That Isn ’ t True ” Agrees that ‘ dangerous conspiracies ’ must be countered Anthony Fauci dismissed the viral video of America ’ s Frontline Doctors promoting Hydroxychloroquine as a cure for coronavirus , describing it as “ a bunch of people spouting something that isn ’ t true.
” Appearing on MSNBC , Fauci told host Andrea Mitchell “ the only recourse you have is to be very , very clear in presenting the scientific data that essentially contradicts that.
” “ The scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , clinical trials that were valid , namely clinically trials that were randomized and controlled in the proper way , all of those trials showed consistently that Hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of coronavirus disease or COVID-19 , ” Fauci claimed .
When Mitchell asked Fauci “ don ’ t we have to do more to stop these dangerous conspiracies from misleading people ?
” he replied “ Yeah , you ’ re absolutely correct , Andrea , and that ’ s the reason why I ’ m very explicit and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got to follow the science.
” “ If a study , that ’ s a good study , comes out and shows efficacy and safety for Hydroxychloroquine or any other drug that we do , if you do it in the right way , you accept the scientific data .
But right now , today , the cumulative scientific data that has been put together and done over a number of different studies has shown no efficacy.
” Fauci claimed , despite hundreds of doctors and medical experts backing Hydroxychloroquine .
Fauci , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are effective against the virus , despite any robust scientific evidence , yesterday also claimed that everyone should be wearing goggles as well : President Trump , who also promoted the Frontline Doctors video , and has consistently touted Hydroxychloroquine as effective , recently hinted at his disagreement with Fauci , noting that he routinely has to “ overrule ” Fauci , who would like to see the country remain “ shut down ” for an indeterminate amount of time .

prisonplanet--2020-07-30--Our Slide Into Social Psychosis And Breakdown

Our Slide Into Social Psychosis And Breakdown Not only is our lifestyle on back-order , so is our sanity .
Yesterday I mentioned our collective inability to make sense of the contradictory messages of the status quo and our own experience .
This inability to reconcile completely contradictory messages generates psychosis , an internal breakdown that manifests as a disconnect from reality .
To take one example : we ’ re constantly bombarded with the message that a four-year college diploma is the essential key to a secure middle-class lifestyle , yet our experience is that millions of college grads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of student loan debt .
Here ’ s another I discussed yesterday : the status quo hypes the stock market ’ s near-record highs as “ proof ” all is well and everything ’ s getting back to “ normal ” but our experience is the real economy is in a stumbling free-fall .
And what is that “ old normal ” everyone is so anxious to return to anyway ?
How about too busy to be healthy , too addicted to social media to have agency ?
Or as the writer of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Answer wrote : “ In short , we ’ ve done the most modern-American thing possible : bartered away our quality of life for the freedom to be miserable.
” As for the “ new normal , ” it ’ s Extremes of Neofeudalism , Incompetence and Authoritarianism ( June 30 , 2020 ) .
In other words , to keep us in thrall to an unsustainable status quo , what ’ s been normalized and institutionalized is social psychosis , breakdown and burnout .
Our experience is shaped by what psychiatrist R.D @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Experience .
While Laing ’ s initial focus was on family dynamics ( Sanity , Madness and the Family : Families of Schizophrenics ) and how conflicting demands ( contradictory political “ necessities ” ) within a family can trigger a breakdown in children , his insights also apply to society at large .
Laing explores the way our internalized interpretation of experience can be shaped to create uniform beliefs about our society and economy that then lead to norms of behavior that support the political/economic status quo .
Here ’ s how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Four Politics of Experience : “ All those people who seek to control the behavior of large numbers of other people work on the experiences of those other people .
Once people can be induced to experience a situation in a similar way , they can be expected to behave in similar ways .
Induce people all to want the same thing , hate the same things , feel the same threat , then their behavior is already captive – you have acquired your consumers or your cannon-fodder.
” For Laing , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influencing social behavior ; it has an individual , inner consequence as well : One manifestation of this destruction is the shunting of systemic failure onto the individual .
The system itself can not be seen as a failure , so all failure must be pinned on the individual .
Those of you who have read Survival+ will gain a new perspective on opting out , protected fiefdoms , when belief in the system fades , profound political disunity , plantation-like structures , derealization , radical self-reliance , asymmetric stakes in the game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have presented on the politics of experience over the years .
Contradictory political “ necessities ” are destroying our internal coherence , our social order and our economy .
Not only is our lifestyle on back-order , so is our sanity .

Lockdown-free Sweden is seeing a ‘ very positive ’ downward trend in cases Sweden is seeing a ‘ very positive ’ downward trend in coronavirus cases after its much-debated decision not to go into lockdown , its top epidemiologist says .
Anders Tegnell said the number of seriously sick patients was ‘ close to zero ’ with the curve of new virus cases also bending downwards .
Tegnell is also continuing to play down the effectiveness of face masks – saying there is ‘ no point ’ wearing them on public transport .
Sweden recorded only 1,716 new cases last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month earlier , and deaths have also been on the decline .
‘ The curves go down , and the curves over the seriously ill begin to be very close to zero .
As a whole , it is very positive , ’ Tegnell said .
Sweden became a closely-watched outlier in the spring after refusing to go into lockdown , with shops and restaurants staying open throughout the crisis .
Large gatherings were banned along with visits to nursing homes , but primary schools stayed open even in hard-hit Stockholm .
Citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the government says that its softer measures will be easier to maintain long-term .
On Monday , Sweden announced just 398 new cases over the weekend , down from 767 the week before and 2,530 only a month ago .

Report : Satellite Images Suggest North Korea Has Been Enriching Uranium All Year The North Korea monitor website 38 North published satellite images on Tuesday that indicate uranium enrichment activity continues at the communist regime ’ s Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center , one of the top facilities for the generation of nuclear fuel .

prisonplanet--2020-07-30--VIDEO: Woman Tells Toddlers ‘I Hope You All Die’ For Not Wearing Face Masks

VIDEO : Woman Tells Toddlers ‘ I Hope You All Die ’ For Not Wearing Face Masks A mask-clad middle-aged shopper told a mother and her children “ I hope you all die ” for failing to wear a face mask at a supermarket in a shocking exchange recorded by another shopper and posted to social media .
The footage begins in the middle of a heated conversation as a mother debates a face mask aficionada .
The unmasked mother repeated that her children were not supposed to wear masks due to their age , to which the pro-mask woman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true.
” The mother continued attempting to explain the local mask requirements to the complaining older woman , and citing local ordinances , pointed out that children under the age of 10 are not supposed to wear the protective gear .
The middle-aged woman slams the mother ’ s reasoning as “ ridiculous.
” It is unclear where the event took place , however , it is a common practice throughout the country to lessen face mask requirements for young children , with children younger than 10 usually not required to wear masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ showing almost no cases of a child transmitting COVID-19 to an adult , and because it is difficult young children understand how to wear a mask properly .
As the older woman apparently realized she was unable to convince the mother to mask her children , began to leave the conversation , she stopped speaking to the mother and instead looked down toward her young children and said “ I hope you all die.
” The mother responded with a sarcastic , “ You take care of yourself .
Bye.
” “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle-aged woman repeated .
“ You ’ re going to kill me– ” “ That ’ s such a great thing to say to somebody , ” the mother snapped .
This woman literally looks into these children ’ s eyes and says , “ I hope you all die.
” The middle-aged woman failed to garner much sympathy on social media after her actions .
“ She has an ‘ amygdala response ’ .
The woman is filled with fear , she is in a fight or flight mode .
The sad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her immune system is more depressed and she is more vulnerable to being infected .
Her fear will cause her to die , not the family , ” one person commented .

Citizens have launched a monthly # ExposeBillGates International Day of Action on the second Saturday of every month , with the second installment of this movement taking place on August 8 .
As Bill Gates funds and pushes for mass Coronavirus vaccines , more and more alarmed citizens are waking up to Gates ’ unparalleled control of the medical science industry worldwide and his designs for humanity .
The Conscious Resistance announced : “ On June 13 , 2020 , hundreds of thousands of people from around the world participated in the first ever # ExposeBillGates Day of Action .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ExposeBillGates trending all day on Twitter , information about Bill Gates ’ agenda being translated in several languages , hundreds of protests and outreach events , and mainstream outlets taking notice .
Now , it ’ s time to do it again…Starting August 8th , join us on every 2nd Saturday as we spread the word about Bill Gates ’ agenda .
We encourage everyone interested to organize and host documentary screenings , share articles , pass out flyers , drop banners , and share on social media using the hashtag # ExposeBillGates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and credible information about Gates ’ goals .
This is a non-partisan event and activists from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome .
# ExposeBillGates Day is being organized by The Conscious Resistance Network , The Corbett Report , The Last American Vagabond , Activist Post , The Free Thought Project , The Anti Media , We Are Change , and Wake Up News .
If you represent an alternative/independent media channel or website and would like to be involved please get in touch .
CONTACT : Derrick Broze / [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates expressed apathy in a CBS interview about the fact that his Moderna Coronavirus vaccine , which National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) has a financial stake in , is testing horribly in vaccine trials , with at least 80 percent of trial subjects reportedly suffering side effects .
This news comes on the heels of a major protest in Africa against Coronavirus vaccines being tested on black people on the continent .
Military insurer Tricare admitted that it wrongly told more than 600,000 U.S. military members that they had the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems with testing accuracy , with Orlando Health admitting that its 98 percent positive rate was actually 9.4 percent .
The CDC admitted that it is mixing antibody and viral test results to derive its case numbers and you can test positive on an antibody test if you have antibodies from a family of viruses that cause the common cold .
Here is Gates responding to vaccine side effects : No wonder people in Africa are protesting the vaccine tests .
National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) own a financial stake in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ raising big questions about the supposed impartiality of the federal government ’ s policy decisions during the Coronavirus outbreak .
NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci , a financial ally of Bill Gates whose institute partnered on the Moderna vaccine and is part of NIH , has been critical of Hydroxychloroquine and the FBI even raided a health spa serving intravenous vitamin C , which are competitors to a vaccine .
“ We do have some particular stake in the intellectual property ” for the Moderna vaccine stated Francis Collins , the director of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Club panel discussion .
“ One of the vaccines– the one that ’ s furthest along– what started , actually , at the federal government in our own Vaccine Research Center at NIH– then worked with a biotechnology company called Moderna to get to where we are now , with very impressive Phase I results and getting ready to go into a large-scale trial as early as July .
That one , of course , we do have some particular stake in the intellectual property .
Others , though , come from companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting them to the point where they might now be ready for a trial , ” Collins stated .
“ The U.S. government may jointly own a potential coronavirus vaccine .
The National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) has played a critical role in coronavirus research for years .
Building off this work , federal scientists have helped design and test mRNA-1273—a vaccine candidate developed in partnership with Moderna .
[ 2 ] The federal government has filed multiple patents covering mRNA-1273 .
In this report , we describe two patent applications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ 3 ] If the government successfully pursued its patent filings , the resulting patents would likely confer significant rights .
We also review recently disclosed contracts between NIH and Moderna .
The agreements suggest that NIH has not transferred its rights , but instead maintains a joint stake.
” Eight members of the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) expert COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel disclosed recent financial relationships with Gilead , the drugmaker that is introducing an expensive Coronavirus competitor to Hydroxychloroquine , the inexpensive anti-malarial drug that President Trump has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
This financial relationship between NIH experts and Gilead is especially concerning in light of revelations that NIH has a financial stake in the Bill Gates-funded Moderna vaccine , another competitor to Hydroxychloroquine .
Chloroquine critic Dr. Anthony Fauci ’ s NIAID , which funded the Bat Coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virologybelieved to be the source of the outbreak , is part of NIH .
HERE IS THE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE LIST FOR THE NIH EXPERT CORONAVIRUS TREATMENT PANEL .
The experts with disclosed ties to Gilead include consultants , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and honoraria .
Members of the panel also disclosed ties to Merck and INOVIO Pharmaceuticals , which took $ 9 million from a Gates-backed company to develop a Coronavirus vaccine .
Gilead is driving up their prices from what was previously expected ( as the company has done in the past , sparking bipartisan condemnation from Senators Grassley and Wyden ) .
No wonder , then , VA study .
President Donald Trump is now officially vindicated with facts on his support for the anti-malarial drug Hydroxychloroquine .
“ What we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it really only works in conjunction with Zinc , ” stated Los Angeles emergency room specialist Dr. Anthony Cardillo .
“ So the hydroxychloroquine opens a zinc channel , zinc goes into the cell , it then blocks the replication of the cellular machinery….Every patient I ’ ve prescribed it to has been very very ill and within 8 to 12 hours they were basically symptom free.
” Bill Gates Is Already Looking Forward to The ‘ Next ’ Pandemic Fauci Also Took Off His Mask After He Testified In A Washington Hearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foundation fund research at MIT on how to implant people ’ s vaccination history under their skin ?
Why did Fauci meet with Bill Gates ’ father , George Soros , and other globalist heavyweights all the way back in 2001 ?
Why did the Stephen King-created television series The Dead Zone predict the Coronavirus outbreak — and a Chloroquine cure for it — back in 2003 ?
Why did Dr. Anthony Fauci ’ s NIAID fund the Coronavirus bat research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology , which President Trump and Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the source of the worldwide outbreak ?

prisonplanet--2020-07-30--Crime Is Skyrocketing All Over America And Police Officers Are Committing Suicide

Crime Is Skyrocketing All Over America And Police Officers Are Committing Suicide What did they think was going to happen ?
For weeks , the mainstream media and many politicians on the left have been relentlessly praising the chaos , rioting and violence that has been taking place in major cities all across America .
Meanwhile , the mainstream media and many politicians on the left have also been demonizing the police and have been promoting those that are calling for them to be defunded .
It was inevitable that there would be consequences , and they have been quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the nation , and demoralized police officers are committing suicide .
And if the mainstream media and many politicians on the left do not end their irresponsible rhetoric , things will get even worse .
Are there bad police officers ?
Of course there are , just like there are bad individuals in any profession .
But to demonize all police officers because of the actions of a few is something that no responsible journalist or politician should ever do .
Without the police , our society would rapidly devolve into complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thankful for the men and women in blue that put their lives on the line every single day to protect all of us , and I certainly would not want to live in a society that did not have any police .
Over the past couple of months , the entire profession has been relentlessly demonized by the media and by many of our politicians , and this has resulted in a crisis of morale in police departments all over the nation that is absolutely unprecedented .
And as they see the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average Americans have decided that it is fair game for them to do the same thing , and this has especially been true in our major cities .
The way that police officers are being treated in many parts of the country has been completely and utterly shameful , and it was inevitable that some officers would be pushed past their breaking points .
On Tuesday , a newly promoted officer in Chicago named Dion Boyd shocked the entire city when he shot himself in the head… And then just one day later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in New Jersey named Daniel Pagnotta decided that he couldn ’ t take any more… These men leave behind a lot of people that loved them .
It greatly saddened me to read that Pagnotta was a “ father of two who loved soccer ” … What are those children supposed to do now ?
Their father is gone and he is never coming back again .
Sadly , life for police officers in America is only going to get rougher because crime rates are absolutely skyrocketing .
According to reporter Alex Berenson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in practically every big city ” … But it wasn ’ t as if someone suddenly flipped a switch at the beginning of January .
The truth is that crime rates didn ’ t start to explode until the riots came along .
Once everyone saw what the rioters were getting away with and that the media approved , it changed everything .
Criminals all over the country suddenly felt like they had a green light to go absolutely crazy , and that is precisely what we have been witnessing .
The tragic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us together as a nation and should have caused all of us to value human life more .
Ironically , in the very city where George Floyd died there have already been more murders in 2020 than “ in all of 2019 ” .
The criminals in Minneapolis have become extremely brazen .
Robberies are up 36 percent so far this year , car theft is up 46 percent , and many of these crimes are being committed in broad daylight .
It is not just a coincidence that Democrats run nearly all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are absolutely exploding .
Tolerating the rioting , looting and chaos that the protesters have been engaging in has been a huge mistake , because it just invites even more crime .
The mainstream media and many politicians on the left keep referring to the riots as “ peaceful protests ” even though everyone can see the violence that is happening .
It is almost as if they believe that if they just say the phrase “ peaceful protests ” enough that we will all be brainwashed into believing the narrative that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House Judiciary Committee hearing this week , Representative Jim Jordan played a video montage of the violence that is happening during these riots , and that has gotten him a lot of attention .
But even though most of the “ journalists ” in the mainstream media are criticizing him , I greatly applaud him for having the courage to condemn the rioters .
There is no place in a civilized society for such violence , and it needs to end .
Unfortunately , what we have seen so far is just the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrest is coming .
In America today , “ right ” has become “ wrong ” and “ wrong ” has become “ right ” , and we have raised an entire generation without any moral foundation whatsoever .
Now we are experiencing the consequences for raising our children so poorly , and they are going to be very bitter consequences indeed .

prisonplanet--2020-07-30--Economic Nightmare: Nearly 50 Percent Of All The Jobs Lost During The COVID-19 Pandemic “May Be Gone

Economic Nightmare: Nearly 50 Percent Of All The Jobs Lost During The COVID-19 Pandemic “May Be Gone Permanently”

Economic Nightmare : Nearly 50 Percent Of All The Jobs Lost During The COVID-19 Pandemic “ May Be Gone Permanently ” When millions of Americans were losing their jobs at the beginning of this pandemic , we were told not to worry because the lockdowns were just temporary and virtually all of those workers would be going back to their old jobs once the lockdowns ended .
Well , now we are finding out that was not even close to true .
Over the last 18 weeks , more than 52 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them are dealing with a permanent job loss .
In fact , one brand new survey discovered that 47 percent of all unemployed workers now believe that their “ job loss is likely to be permanent ” .
The following comes from a USA Today article entitled “ Almost half of all jobs lost during pandemic may be gone permanently ” … What that number tells us is that we are facing the worst employment crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s .
All of those permanently unemployed workers are eventually going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. economy as a whole is in a free fall that is absolutely stunning .
On Thursday , we are scheduled to get the GDP number for the second quarter , and everyone is expecting that it will be really bad… This downturn has been particularly hard on small businesses .
Just check out these numbers… • Yelp reported 71,500 businesses that were listed on their site have closed for good since March 1 .
• 80 % of independent restaurants aren ’ t sure they ’ ll survive the COVID-19 pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce lost 100 % of their sales or closed down completely .
But the third quarter was when the U.S. economy was supposed to come roaring back to life .
We were told that it would be the greatest economic comeback in our history , but instead the numbers are telling us that the economy is actually starting to slow down once again .
In fact , U.S. consumer confidence in July is much lower than it was in June… In addition , we just witnessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the peak of the last financial crisis… So it doesn ’ t look like any sort of a “ recovery ” is happening .
Instead , it appears that we are sliding into the next chapter of this new economic depression .
In June , 19 percent of all U.S. small businesses were closed , but now that number is up to 24.5 percent .
With each passing day , more companies are announcing layoffs .
And every worker that gets laid off is another American that doesn ’ t have a paycheck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , millions of Americans slid out of the middle class , and we are watching it happen again .
Our elected leaders in Washington are desperate to do something about this , and almost all of them seem to agree that more socialist programs are the answer .
A fifth “ stimulus bill ” is being put together , and the Urban Institute is warning that if Congress does not hurry we could see the poverty rate in this country rise substantially… If the Urban Institute thinks that an 11.9 percent poverty rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see what things will be like in this country a few years from now .
Our entire system is in the process of melting down , but it will take some time for the drama that we are watching to fully play out .
Our leaders in Washington and the bureaucrats over at the Federal Reserve will keep flooding the system with money in a misguided attempt to fix things , and this will result in exceedingly painful inflation .
The cost of everything ( including essentials such as food ) will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that your money will increasingly become less and less valuable .
If you could print your way to prosperity , Venezuela and Zimbabwe would be the wealthiest nations on the entire planet today .
At this point , almost everyone in Venezuela is a “ millionaire ” , but almost everyone is also living in extreme poverty .
History has shown that wildly printing money doesn ’ t work , but the U.S. is going down the exact same path , and it isn ’ t going to be pretty .
Even though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now , this is our window of opportunity to get prepared for the troubled times that are ahead , because things are not going to be getting any easier from here on out .

Netherlands Refuses To Mandate Face Masks ; Sweden Says They Are ‘ Pointless ’ The Netherlands has decided not to mandate the wearing of face masks in public , citing the fact that there is no scientific evidence to suggest they are effective against the spread of the coronavirus .

Unsealed Court Docs Suggest Bill Clinton Was On Pedo Island With Epstein Documents also contain explosive claims against attorney Alan Dershowitz Court documents were unsealed in the Ghislaine Maxwell case Thursday , and revealed that a witness claims to have seen Bill Clinton on the infamous ‘ pedo island ’ along with Epstein , Maxwell and “ two young girls ” .
The claims in the documents echo those previously made by a former worker on Epstein ’ s island in a Netflix documentary .
The claims run contrary to denials by Clinton that he ever visited the island , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sexual assaults of underage women by the convicted pedophile Epstein and his elite guests .
The allegations were made by Steve Scully , a 70-year-old phone and internet specialist worker who was present on the island of Little Saint James , as part of Jeffrey Epstein : Filthy Rich , which features testimony from witnesses and victims of Epstein ’ s sordid activities .
Scully claims that he saw the Clinton sitting with Epstein in the porch of the island ’ s villa .
Scully did not witness Clinton partaking in any illegal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other guests were present at the time .
Scully says that he saw other ‘ important people ’ visiting the island , including Prince Andrew , adding that some would be naked and flanked by topless girls .

The documents allege that Dershowitz abused a minor , referred to as ‘ Jane Doe 3 ’ , and that he also helped draft a non-prosecution agreement to secure immunity .
In previous court documents , ‘ Jane Doe 3 ’ was the name used to refer to Virginia Giuffre , the woman who has made similar allegations against Prince Andrew : Giuffre “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s orbit at 15 years old , under the guise of offering work as a masseuse.
” In separate legal papers Giuffre has also placed Clinton on the island , claiming she had dinner with the former president , Epstein , Maxwell and two other women from New York on the island on one occasion .
Giuffre also said that she saw Clinton “ strolling into the darkness with two beautiful girls around either arm.
” The same witness , thought to be Giuffre , also said she had overheard Epstein saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” while noting that she couldn ’ t tell whether he was joking or not : The new documents allege that Maxwell held ‘ continuous ’ orgies with underage girls on the Caribbean Little St James Island , flying them in by private jet .
The unsealed documents also contain a July 25 , 2015 , email from Epstein to Maxwell which reads , “ You have done nothing wrong and i woudl [ sic ] urge you to start acting like it .
Go outside , head high , not as an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to parties .
deal with it.
” Another email exchange , published here by The Daily Mail , dated a few days earlier contains an apparent court statement from Maxwell claiming her innocence .
In January , pictures emerged of Clinton with his arms around Chauntae Davies , who has said that she was recruited to be Epstein ’ s personal masseuse and ‘ sex slave ’ : Clinton has also been pictured on the steps of Epstein ’ s private plane , dubbed ‘ the Lolita Express ’ with Maxwell in 2002 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made 26 trips on the plane from 2001 to 2003 .

Obama Uses John Lewis Funeral to Call for ‘ Eliminating the Filibuster ’ Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis ( D-GA ) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats ’ new legislation on voting reform .
Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights , which Lewis marched against , by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud .
He urged Congress to pass a new version of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for , ” Obama said , to applause .
Democrats have pushed for a new version of the law , after the Supreme Court invalidated part of it in 2013 , saying that it was outdated .

We Are Experiencing Economic Devastation On A Scale That America Has Never Seen Before For a very long time we have been warned that a U.S. economic collapse was inevitably coming , and now it is here .
Fear of COVID-19 and unprecedented civil unrest in our major cities have combined to plunge us into a historic economic downturn , and nobody is exactly sure what is going to happen next .

That officially makes last quarter the worst quarter in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people believe that this new economic depression is just getting started .
But of course not all areas of the country are being affected equally .
According to USA Today , states such as Hawaii , Nevada , Michigan and New York were hit particularly hard last quarter… Originally , the mainstream media was telling us that the U.S. economy would come surging back to life during the third quarter , but we continue to get more signs that indicate that the economy is starting to slow down again .
For example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers that were more than just a little bit startling .
If you can believe it , another 1.434 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week .
That was an increase over last week ’ s revised number , and it represents the second week in a row that initial claims have risen .
Overall , new claims for unemployment benefits have now been above one million for 19 weeks in a row .
Personally , I don ’ t know how this is even possible .
Prior to this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ single week was just 695,000 .
The numbers that we have been getting week after week are so obscene that they are truly difficult to believe .
Overall , a grand total of more than 54 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits during the last 19 weeks .
But there were only 152 million Americans working when employment peaked back in February .
So how is it possible that 54 million workers have filed initial claims for unemployment benefits so far this year ?
Have things really gotten that bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported on a recent Census Bureau survey that found that 30 million Americans claim that they did not have enough food to eat during the week that ended on July 21st… Once again , those numbers are so shocking that they are hard for me to believe .
Are there really tens of millions of Americans that can not afford three meals a day right now ?
Maybe there are , but it is still difficult to grasp the fact that we have fallen so far in such a short period of time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad news about the restaurant industry .
According to the National Restaurant Association , at least 15 percent of all restaurants in the entire country will be shutting down .
The following comes from Zero Hedge… Actually , if we only lose 15 percent of our restaurants we should hold a massive celebration , because that will be a rip-roaring victory .
As fear of COVID-19 stretches on month after month , and as civil unrest becomes even worse , it will become increasingly difficult for restaurants , bars , movie theaters and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survive .
In the end , I think that we are going to lose hundreds of thousands of restaurants , and it deeply grieves me to say that .
Of course every industry is going to be devastated by this new economic depression , and even the biggest names are going to get hit really hard .
In fact , you know that things are starting to get really bad when even Walmart starts laying off workers… If Walmart executives truly believed that the U.S. economy was going to be returning to normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a move .
But at this point it should be clear to everyone that there isn ’ t going to be a return to normal .
Very challenging times are on the horizon , and what we have experienced so far is just the tip of the iceberg .
More big corporations are going to go bankrupt , more businesses are going to fail , more workers are going to be laid off , and the financial dominoes are going to start to fall at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so many other economic writers have been warning about are starting to happen .
A great unraveling has begun , and it is imperative for all of us to find a way to survive the severe economic pain that is ahead of us .

prisonplanet--2020-07-31--A Sizable Earthquake Just Hit Los Angeles, And The Clock Is Ticking For The West Coast Of The United

A Sizable Earthquake Just Hit Los Angeles, And The Clock Is Ticking For The West Coast Of The United States

A Sizable Earthquake Just Hit Los Angeles , And The Clock Is Ticking For The West Coast Of The United States Every time the west coast shakes , it is another reminder that a day of reckoning is fast approaching .
Someday time will run out and “ the Big One ” will finally strike , and the devastation will be far more immense than most people would dare to imagine .
Over the last 7 days , there have been 1,957 earthquakes in California and Nevada , but the one that everyone is talking about is the magnitude 4.2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to ABC News , this quake was large enough to trigger “ alerts from the state ’ s new quake warning system ” … The good news is that nobody died , but millions of people throughout the region were definitely deeply alarmed when they felt it .
After experiencing tremendous shaking at her house , Khloe Kardashian posted her startled reaction on Twitter… If she thought that quake was really bad , just wait until she sees what is coming .
According to the USGS , a magnitude 9.0 earthquake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quake that just happened , and it would be 15,848,931 times more powerful .
Of course we don ’ t know if “ the Big One ” will be exactly that magnitude , but I wanted to give you some idea of how incredibly destructive it will be when it arrives .
For decades , California residents have been warned about “ the Big One ” , and it hasn ’ t happened yet .
So a lot of people have been lulled into a false sense of security , and that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assure us that it is just a matter of time before it strikes .
In fact , Dr. Michio Kaku insists that “ the Big One ” is “ way overdue ” … And when it arrives , it could literally devastate the entire California coastline .
According to Fox News , one study found that the full length of the San Andreas fault could potentially “ unzip all at once ” … .
If such a seismic event took place , would part of California snap off like a cracker and fall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe ?
No , that is not the way that it works .
However , there is no denying that vast portions of southern California are just barely above sea level , and scientists tell us that there have been earthquakes in the past that have caused parts of southern California to suddenly sink by as much as three feet .
If a large enough earthquake happened and huge areas of southern California were suddenly several feet below sea level , there wouldn ’ t be anything to keep the Pacific Ocean from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a nightmare scenario , and one team of scientists found that such a scenario is actually quite realistic… Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby was one of the scientists that worked on that study , and he says that the process would “ happen relatively instantaneously ” … If you live in southern California , that should chill you to the core .
Because this is not just a theoretical exercise .
As I detail in my brand new book , this will happen someday .
We are moving into a time of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ globe will be shaken as extremely violent seismic events erupt with frightening regularity .
Residents of the west coast need to especially be concerned , because the entire west coast sits directly along the infamous “ Ring of Fire ” .
In addition to a massive earthquake along the San Andreas fault , scientists are also warning us that it is just a matter of time before there is a colossal seismic event along the Cascadia Subduction Zone , and there are signs that several volcanoes along the west coast ( including Mt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In addition , we should also keep a close eye on Mt .
Popocatepetl down in Mexico , because it has been belching clouds of hot ash with alarming regularity lately .
Of course the mockers will continue to mock the scientific warnings and they will continue to mock articles like this until the day comes when they aren ’ t able to mock anymore .
If you don ’ t want to believe what I am telling you , and you just want to cling to the belief that everything will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and do that .
And tomorrow when you wake up everything probably will be just fine .
But one disaster will suddenly strike , and at that moment you will realize that you should have heeded the warnings while you still had the chance .

As American Magazine reported in May : Churches should “ limit the number of people , so that you don ’ t have people in the pews right next to each other , ” he said .
Those gathered should “ absolutely ” wear masks , Dr. Fauci said .
“ If the priest is on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 50 feet , you know , I wouldn ’ t think it was absolutely necessary to [ use masks ] , ” he said .
“ But the people who are within six , 10 feet of each other really need to.
” In addition , singing should be discouraged , Dr. Faucis said , because it dramatically increases the distance that droplets travel , adding to the possibility of spreading infection .
“ When you sing , the amount of droplets and aerosol that come out is really , in some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Asked if he thinks Communion can be distributed safely , Dr. Fauci said “ no , ” especially in areas still getting the virus under control .
[ … ] “ As many times as a priest can wash his hands , he gets to Communion , he puts it in somebody ’ s hand , they put it in their mouth…it ’ s that kind of close interaction that you don ’ t want when you ’ re in the middle of a deadly outbreak , ” he said .
Churches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Matter is sacred !

The vast majority of Americans say they either “ always ” or “ sometimes ” wear a mask in public , a Morning Consult survey released this week revealed .
