prisonplanet--2020-04-29--UK: 18,000 Extra Cancer Deaths Could Happen Within a Year Because of Focus on COVID-19

UK : 18,000 Extra Cancer Deaths Could Happen Within a Year Because of Focus on COVID-19 Cancer victims not able to get early screenings and treatment .
A new study concludes that there could be 18,000 extra cancer deaths in the UK within a year because victims are not able to get screenings and treatment due to the focus on COVID-19 .
“ Delays in diagnosing and treating cancer could hurt the survival chances of thousands of people across England , joint research by University College London ( UCL ) and the Health Data Research Hub for Cancer ( DATA-CAN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Scientists analyzed data from more than 3.5 million patients and discovered that the Covid-19 outbreak could indirectly lead to more than 17,900 extra cancer deaths within a year , including 6,270 fatal cases in newly diagnosed cancer patients.
” The study discovered an 76 per cent average drop in early cancer diagnosis referrals and a chemotherapy attendance reduction of 60 per cent in England .
Cancer patients are avoiding hospitals partly due to fears over catching COVID-19 and partly because they were told health workers would be “ overwhelmed ” by coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , acute hospital beds in the UK are four times emptier than normal and overspill hospitals are being being used .
Many stroke and heart attack victims are also routinely waiting 2 hours for an ambulance to arrive while 2,300 cancer diagnoses are being missed each week because they are not being referred for urgent scans and tests .
As we previously highlighted , Richard Sullivan , professor of cancer at Kings College , London , also warned that excess cancer deaths could eventually outstrip COVID-19 deaths .
“ The number of deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is likely to outweigh the number of deaths from the coronavirus itself over the next five years , ” he said .
“ The cessation and delay of cancer care will cause considerable avoidable suffering , ” said Sullivan .
“ Cancer screening services have stopped , which means we will miss our chance to catch many cancers when they are treatable and curable , such as cervical , bowel and breast.

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--Report: Communist Chinese Knew That Their Bio-Labs Were A Ticking Time Bomb

Report : Communist Chinese Knew That Their Bio-Labs Were A Ticking Time Bomb CCP received a report in October that called for improvements to ensure biosecurity in laboratories The communist Chinese government was painfully aware that bio-labs including the Wuhan Institute of Virology , where it is thought the coronavirus could have originated , were in desperate need of safety upgrades to prevent accidental leaks .
An article in Asian Review notes that Chinese President Xi Jinping has been discussing the need for “ biosafety ” improvements for the past year .
“ Beijing had been preparing biosecurity law , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report notes , adding that “ China has been preparing for it carefully for quite a long time , conscious of how the country was perceived overseas.
” The report goes on to explain that France , a country instrumental in the construction of the lab , found a significant flaw in the framework for ensuring the safety of virus research in China .
“ China wanted to catch up with advanced countries in biotech research as soon as possible .
To that end , it needed to establish related laws on par @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. and Germany.
” the report continues .
A report was received by the Chinese parliament last October , detailing 8 points where safety needed to be upgraded : The report notes that “ the measures were not introduced in time for China to prevent the Wuhan outbreak .
Instead , information was initially covered up and China ’ s first steps were delayed.
” In February , when it was clear that the outbreak was spreading , “ Xi urged top leaders to enhance the country ’ s governance capacity for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law ” at the earliest possible date , ” according to the report .
This only enhanced the suspicions of those who believe the virus leaked from the lab .
Since that time , China has denied the US access to the Wuhan lab , according to US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo .
The facility has come under increased scrutiny after it was revealed that the US government under the Obama administration funded research there for a number of years .
In addition , a world renowned Russian microbiologist claimed last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of Wuhan scientists doing “ absolutely crazy things ” in their lab .
Furthermore , a University of Texas Medical Branch lab director who visited the Wuhan institute in 2017 says that it would be foolish to dismiss the idea that the coronavirus escaped from the facility , and that “ Accidents happen ” in such labs .
Footage from inside the lab , broadcast in 2018 , showing scientists working on coronavirus in bats , has increased scrutiny on the lab even further .

“What The F**k”: In Expletive-Laced Rant, Elon Musk Blasts “Fascist, Undemocratic” Shelter-In-Place Orders

It has been almost exactly two years since Elon Musk ’ s infamous conference call meltdown when the Tesla CEO snapped at RBC analyst Joseph Spak for asking “ boring bonehead questions ” during the Q1 2018 earnings call .
Today , Musk did it again only this time instead of raging at a “ bonehead ” question , the notoriously volatile CEO went off on a bizarre tirade , hammering an issue he has expressed substantial displeasure with in recent days : the inability to open up the Tesla Fremont factory Calilfornia ’ s shelter-in-place orders .
Just hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump impression to date , screaming “ FREE AMERICA NOW ” clearly displeased with the ongoing state of affairs in the US virus-stricken nation… … Elon held the Tesla earnings call where toward the end , increasingly angry , Musk unleashed a 5-minute rant complete with an f-bomb in which the CEO doubled down on his stance against the shelter-in-place orders that have gripped the United States economy in recent weeks , warning that the factory shutdowns are a “ serious risk ” to the electric automaker ’ s business .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just to Tesla , but to many companies , ” Musk said on the call .
“ And while Tesla will weather the storm , there are many companies that will not .
Everything people have worked for their whole life is being destroyed in real time.
” “ It ’ s breaking people ’ s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America or built this country .
What the fuck .
Excuse me .
Outrage .
Outrage.
” “ Frankly , I would call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homes against all of , their constitutional rights , in my opinion ” he said , and then slammed the government imposed shutdown of all non-essential businesses as undemocratic and downright “ fascist.
” “ If somebody wants to stay in their house , that ’ s great and they should be able to , ” he said .
“ But to say that they can not leave their house and they will be arrested if they do , this is fascist .
This is not democratic , this is not freedom , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of course , neither the California or federal shelter-in-place guidelines penalize those who go outside with arrest .
That did not prevent Musk from concluding that “ the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry.
” What he meant is that he is angry because orders prevent Tesla from building cars at the Fremont facility while the shelter in place order is active .
The billionaire first said panic about the coronavirus “ is dumb ” on March 6 , as the US first began reporting cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His eagerness to return back to business reemerged on March 19 when he said that “ based on current trends , probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April.
” Then on Tuesday , hours before today ’ s TSLA earnings call Musk escalated his complaints on Twitter , and just as he yelled at someone to “ FREE AMERICA NOW ” , he praised Texas ’ relaxation of rules starting Friday .
The irony , of course , is that Musk is calling the US government response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only not criticizing but praising China on the same day he held a private conference call with the Chinese owners of the Shanghai Tesla plant… … the same China which put hundreds of millions of people into forced quarantine , and those who violated the non-stop curfew “ disappeared ” forever .
The even bigger irony is that Musk could care less about US freedoms and what is democratic or fascist , when all he is truly raging about is the forced shuttering of his Fremont auto plant which he has repeatedly violated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while putting workers ’ lived in jeopardy – in hopes of beating Wall Street estimates , just so he can keep the stock price elevated above $ 100 billion entitling him to a $ 720 million payout .

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--New Flynn Documents Show FBI Discussed Perjury Trap to ‘Get Him Fired’

New Flynn Documents Show FBI Discussed Perjury Trap to ‘ Get Him Fired ’ Newly unsealed evidence suggests the FBI laid out a perjury trap for former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn “ to get him to lie ” so they can “ prosecute him or get him fired.
” From Fox News , “ FBI Discussed Interviewing Michael Flynn ‘ to Get Him to Lie ’ and ‘ Get Him Fired , ’ Handwritten Notes Show ” : Explosive new internal FBI documents unsealed Wednesday show that top bureau officials discussed their motivations for interviewing then-national security adviser @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 2017 — and openly questioned if their “ goal ” was “ to get him to lie , so we can prosecute him or get him fired.
” The handwritten notes — written by the FBI ’ s former head of counterintelligence Bill Priestap after a meeting with then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , Fox News is told — further suggested that agents planned in the alternative to get Flynn “ to admit to breaking the Logan Act.
” The Logan Act is an obscure statute that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecution ; enacted in 1799 in an era before telephones , it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States government abroad .
“ What is our goal ?
” one of the notes read .
“ Truth/Admission or to get him to lie , so we can prosecute him or get him fired ?
” Michael Flynn ’ s attorney believes the judge will have to vacate her client ’ s convictionThe handwritten notes are devastating evidence of an effort to disregard all standing protocols and rules @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act , give facts to DOJ + have them decide , ” another note read .
This clip of Comey from Dec 2018 laughing about “ getting away with ” entrapping Flynn is finally getting some coverage : What ’ s amazing is our government is so lawless and criminal this probably won ’ t even matter .
While conservatives on social media are rightly going crazy over these revelations I don ’ t see any of them mentioning how Attorney General William Barr let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the gang off the hook .
Many are waiting for some “ Q-Anon ” savior to swoop in but they ignore the fact Barr also allowed Jeffrey Epstein to allegedly commit suicide under his watch then comically blamed a “ perfect storm of screw-ups.
” Remember how Inspector General Michael Horowitz ’ s highly anticipated report ( which he stalled for 15 months on ) that Q-Anoners were expecting would bust open the conspiracy actually claimed the FBI was biased in favor of Trump ?
We ’ re over three years into Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the FBI have been arresting and entrapping are Trump ’ s own voters .
Watch this little-seen video of James Comey delivering a self-described “ love letter ” to the Anti-Defamation League on May 8 , 2017 ( one day before he was fired ) and crediting them for getting hate crime legislation passed if you want to understand why the FBI is just the way it is .
Ultimately , the FBI appears to have taken Flynn out to ensure the neocon cold war with Russia continued in perpetuity .
Flynn in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Russia to defeat ISIS .
“ We beat Hitler because of our relationship with the Russians , ” Flynn told the Washington Post in 2016 , “ so anybody that looks on it as anything but a relationship that ’ s required for mutual supporting interests , including ISIS , … that ’ s really where I ’ m at with Russia.
” “ We have a problem with radical Islamism and I actually think that we could work together with them against this enemy , ” Flynn said .
“ They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Such a policy ran contrary to the neocons ’ foreign policy of supporting ISIS as a “ useful tool ” against Iran , Hezbollah , Syria and Russia and so the FBI stepped in to take him out of the picture .
As New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman said in a shockingly candid April 2017 column , Trump should not fight ISIS terrorists in Syria but instead “ should let ISIS be Assad ’ s , Iran ’ s , Hezbollah ’ s and Russia ’ s headache.

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--Report: Dr Fauci Backed Wuhan Lab Doing ‘Crazy’ Coronavirus Research

Infectious disease experts say research ‘ enhanced the ability of bat coronavirus to infect human cells ’ Newsweek has highlighted that the Chinese Scientists who were said to have been doing ‘ crazy ’ things with coronavirus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology , were funded by the White House senior health advisor Dr Anthony Fauci just last year .
The report notes that in 2019 Fauci , as head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , backed the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) funding commitment of $ 3.7 million for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronaviruses in the Chinese lab .
The report also noted that the research outline included manipulating viruses in the lab in order to gauge the potential for infection in humans .
The funding , which has now been halted by the Trump administration , was in addition to the previous $ 3.7 million provided to the Chinese lab between 2014-2019 .
Therefore , a total of $ 7.4 million had been provided for the Chinese coronavirus research , according to the report .
According to Rutgers University infectious disease expert Richard Ebright , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiments were being carried out that would “ enhance the ability of bat coronavirus to infect human cells and laboratory animals using techniques of genetic engineering.
” Ebright , has previously said that a lab leak causing the pandemic can not be ruled out until it is properly investigated .
In addition , a world renowned Russian microbiologist claimed last week that the novel coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of Wuhan scientists doing “ absolutely crazy things ” in their lab .
The Newsweek report notes that over 200 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Wuhan lab , as well as other Chinese facilities to be halted , specifically warning that it “ increased the likelihood that a pandemic would occur through a laboratory accident.
” However , Dr. Fauci defended the research , writing in the Washington Post on December 30 , 2011 “ [ D ] etermining the molecular Achilles ’ heel of these viruses can allow scientists to identify novel antiviral drug targets that could be used to prevent infection in those at risk or to better treat those who become infected.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was temporarily impeded due to such concerns in 2014 , it began again in 2017 after secret reviews were conducted by the NIH .
Last year , the research again came under criticism from scientists .

“ [ W ] ith deliberations kept behind closed doors , none of us will have the opportunity to understand how the government arrived at these decisions or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that process.
” Newsweek says that Dr. Fauci did not respond to requests for comment , however the NIH responded with a statement that said “ Most emerging human viruses come from wildlife , and these represent a significant threat to public health and biosecurity in the US and globally , as demonstrated by the SARS epidemic of 2002-03 , and the current COVID-19 pandemic… .
scientific research indicates that there is no evidence that suggests the virus was created in a laboratory.

Video From 2018 Shows Chinese Scientists Working On Coronavirus In Wuhan Lab State media report warned “ mankind must actively monitor the viral infections in bats and other wild animals ” Video footage aired by Chinese state media has revealed Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of virology studying ‘ a novel coronavirus ’ that they discovered within bats in 2018 , less than two years before the outbreak .
The video was broadcast by communist mouthpiece CCTV in April 2018 , but has since reemerged on the web following the global coronavirus spread .
The so called ‘ bat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ researcher from the institute , has claimed that the pathogen scientists were working on in the video is different from the current strain of coronavirus that has now killed hundreds of thousands around the world .
The video highlights that the virus was found in rufous horseshoe bats , native to East and South Asia , but not found naturally in Wuhan .

“ There ’ s nothing positive about what happened in China having to do with this subject .
Nothing positive at all.
” Speaking from the Oval office Wednesday , President Trump reiterated that retaliation against China for its coverup and exacerbation of the coronavirus spread is coming soon .
Speaking about investigations underway by several intelligence agencies , including the NSA , CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency , Trump said information is “ coming in and I ’ m getting pieces already .

Further ‘ human remain pouches ’ ordered in preparation for second wave of coronavirus The Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) has ordered 100,000 more ‘ human remains pouches ’ in preparation for a second wave of coronavirus , expected to hit in the fall , as more than a million cases and 60,000 deaths were confirmed in the US .
The order for the body bags , costing $ 5.1 million , was made last week , coming only weeks after a previous order for 100,000 body bags in a contract with the DoD .
A FEMA spokesperson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order represents preparation for a “ worst possible case national scenario ” .

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--All Of The Coronavirus Models Were Wrong

All Of The Coronavirus Models Were Wrong How is it possible that all of the coronavirus models could have been so completely and utterly wrong about what was going to happen ?
Very early in this pandemic , some models that were predicting millions of deaths caused quite a bit of panic all over the globe .
In fact , a projection done by researchers at the Imperial College of London warned that 40 million people could die from COVID-19 this year alone .
Obviously that estimate was dead wrong , and it has become quite clear that this pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world ” scenario .
But on the other extreme , there have been a lot of models that were forecasting a relatively low death toll , and those models have been proven to be completely wrong as well .
For example , the Los Angeles Times just published a story that discussed the fact that a number of models had projected that the U.S. would not reach 60,000 deaths until “ late summer ” … Well , we just blew by that figure and we are rapidly moving up toward 70,000 deaths .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended , another 2,390 Americans died from COVID-19 , and the number of daily deaths is likely to escalate as some states attempt to “ reopen ” in the weeks ahead .
But a prominent model that the Trump administration has been relying on very heavily had been projecting that there would not be a single U.S. death from the coronavirus after June 21st… Obviously some U.S. officials must strongly disagree with that sort of a projection , because the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the federal government just ordered 100,000 more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a tremendous waste of money if this pandemic is essentially going to be over in June .
Of course the truth is that this pandemic is not going to end any time soon , and every day we continue to get more indications that it is going to be much more grisly than many had originally anticipated .
For instance , on Wednesday police in New York found dozens of dead bodies stored in trucks outside a funeral home… And the entire nation was stunned to learn that almost 70 people have died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Massachusetts… While it is true that this pandemic is not “ the end of the world ” , nobody out there should be attempting to claim that it is a “ nothingburger ” either .
Just check the carnage that authorities in Ecuador have been dealing with… Front line medics in one of Latin America ’ s coronavirus epicenters are lifting the lid on the daily horrors they face in an Ecuadoran city whose health system has collapsed .
In one hospital in Guayaquil overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients , staff have had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morgues are full , health workers say .
In another , a medic told AFP that doctors have been forced to wrap up and store corpses to be able to reuse the beds they died on .
The only reason why we haven ’ t seen a lot of other health systems around the world get overwhelmed is because most of the planet is shut down right now .
As some parts of the globe attempt to “ reopen ” , it is inevitable that cases will start to surge again in those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precisely what is starting to happen in Germany .
Sadly , this pandemic has become highly politicized at this point , and there are many out there that would love to exploit it for their own nefarious purposes .
For example , Hillary Clinton told Joe Biden during an online town hall that “ this would be a terrible crisis to waste ” … This is a high-stakes time , because of the pandemic .
But this is also a really high-stakes election .
And every form of health care should continue to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for every woman in this country .
And then it needs to be part of a much larger system that eventually — and quickly , I hope — gets us to universal health care .
[ Biden nods ] So I can only say , “ Amen , ” to everything you ’ re saying , but also to , again , enlist people that this would be a terrible crisis to waste , as the old saying goes .
[ Biden nods ] We ’ ve learned a lot about what our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it comes to health justice and economic justice .
Instead of dividing us even more deeply as a nation , this pandemic should be bringing us together .
And hopefully that will happen , because even greater challenges are in our future .
But for now , we still have a very long battle with this virus ahead of us .
Many more Americans are going to get sick and many more Americans are going to die , and we really don ’ t have any idea what the final numbers are going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ scientific models ” have been dead wrong so far .

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--The Economic Numbers That Are Coming Are “Going To Be The Worst In The Post-World War II Era”

The Economic Numbers That Are Coming Are “ Going To Be The Worst In The Post-World War II Era ” We just witnessed the largest quarterly GDP decline since the last financial crisis , and experts are warning that the figure for the second quarter will be far , far worse .
In fact , as you will see below , one expert is telling us to brace ourselves for the worst economic numbers “ in the post-World War II era ” .
On an annualized basis , U.S. GDP fell by 4.8 percent during the first quarter , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economists were projecting .
And economists were also surprised that consumer spending was down 7.6 percent and business investment was down 8.6 percent during January , February and March .
Under normal circumstances , those would be absolutely horrible numbers , but these are not normal circumstances .
Yes , January and February were relatively normal , but the coronavirus shutdowns began in March and that is why these numbers are so dismal .
Unfortunately , it looks like the economic numbers for the second quarter are going to be much more depressing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the New York Times believes that they will actually be the worst that our nation has seen since the end of the Second World War… And at this point even the Trump administration is publicly admitting that the economic numbers are going to start getting really , really bad .
On Monday , Kevin Hassett actually told CNBC that U.S. GDP could fall by up to 30 percent on an annualized basis during the second quarter… But we don ’ t have to wait until three months from now for numbers that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learned that U.S. home sales in March were down by double digits in every region on the country… Some states are attempting to gradually “ reopen ” their economies , and that is good news .
But the bad news is that officials are telling us that all of the restrictions in big states such as California and New York will not be lifted until many months from now , and that is going to greatly depress economic activity for the foreseeable future .
With economic activity so low , companies all over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staggering rate .
More than 26 million Americans have lost their jobs so far , and the layoffs just keep on rolling .
For example , we just learned that Uber is planning to let thousands of employees go… Of course it isn ’ t just the United States that is facing an unprecedented unemployment crisis .
According to the International Labour Organization , close to half of all the workers in the world “ are in immediate danger of losing their livelihoods ” … This is one of the biggest reasons why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be ended as quickly as possible .
If people are not allowed to make a living , they aren ’ t going to have anything to feed their families .
Even in the United States , we have already seen an explosion of need that is absolutely shocking .
All over the country , people have been lining up for miles to get whatever food that local food banks are able to give them , and we witnessed more examples of this growing phenomenon on Tuesday… If things are this bad already , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like as we get even deeper into “ the perfect storm ” ?
In recent days I have been writing quite a bit about the coming “ meat shortage ” that the mainstream media has been warning about , and now we are being told that a serious shortage of boneless chicken is already upon us… As I discussed yesterday , President Trump has decided to order meat processing facilities that were closed down because of COVID-19 to reopen , and many are hoping that this move will put a quick end to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainstream media was full of stories about how meat processing workers may decide to defy President Trump and refuse to go back to work… If fear of COVID-19 keeps a substantial percentage of workers from returning to their jobs , that could cause the emerging meat shortages to get even worse in the weeks ahead .
Of course fear of the coronavirus is paralyzing many sectors of our economy right now , and that is not going to end any time soon .
So we should expect really dismal economic numbers for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unlikely that there will be any sort of a turnaround before the election in November .
America ’ s next economic depression has begun , and it is going to be really , really painful .

prisonplanet--2020-04-30--NY Times Says Biden Lying About Their Investigation Into Sexual Assault Allegation

NY Times Says Biden Lying About Their Investigation Into Sexual Assault Allegation Talking points circulated by the Biden Campaign asking supporters to cite a New York Times investigation into sexual assault accuser Tara Reade “ inaccurately suggest ” that the Times concluded the 1993 incident never happened .
The talking points , first reported Monday night by BuzzFeed , advise surrogates to say the allegation “ did not happen , ” and that “ a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth : this incident did not happen.
” Not so fast , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the existence of talking points being circulated by the Biden campaign that inaccurately suggest a New York Times investigation found that Tara Reade ’ s allegation ‘ did not happen , ‘ ” said Times VP of communications , Danielle Rhoades Ha , in a statement to the which told the Washington Free Beacon , adding “ Our investigation made no conclusion either way.
” The Biden campaign is asking supporters to lean into the Times report as evidence of Biden ’ s innocence .
“ In this case , a thorough review @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the truth : this incident did not happen , ” they say .
The Times , however , made clear in its April 12 story on the allegations that it was unable to reach a definitive conclusion about the veracity of Reade ’ s claims .
The paper ’ s reporters spoke both to former colleagues of the alleged victim who said they didn ’ t recall the incident as well as to friends who said that Reade detailed Biden ’ s sexual advances at the time .
“ As BuzzFeed correctly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate aides whom Reade said she complained to contemporaneously , all of whom either did not remember the incident or said that it did not happen , ” Rhoades Ha said .
“ The story also included former interns who remembered Reade suddenly changing roles and no longer overseeing them , which took place during the same time period that Reade said she was abruptly reassigned .
The Times also spoke to a friend who said Reade told her the details of the allegation at the time ; another friend and Reade ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a traumatic sexual incident involving Biden.
” -Washington Free Beacon Biden ’ s talking points have been repeated by supporters , including VP hopefuls Stacey Abrams and Sen. Amy Klobuchar ( D-MN ) .
And as the Beacon notes , additional witnesses have emerged since their investigation was published who have corroborated Reade ’ s account that Biden forced himself upon Reade and penetrated her against her will with his fingers .
Meanwhile , the Times removed a reference to Biden ’ s “ hugs , kisses and touching that women previously said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the Biden campaign , which “ thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct.

NYT Story That Claims US Officials ‘Pressured’ Spies To Link Lab To Coronavirus Is Based On One Person’s Comments From January

NYT Story That Claims US Officials ‘ Pressured ’ Spies To Link Lab To Coronavirus Is Based On One Person ’ s Comments From January A New York Times story published Thursday claimed that Trump officials have unduly pressured intelligence agencies to link the Wuhan bio-lab to the coronavirus outbreak , yet it simultaneously admits that the President has done no such thing and is based mostly around one comment made by a National Security Council official in January .
The story was cited by mainstream sources and leftist websites ad-nauseam Thursday night , as some kind of proof that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the virus outbreak .
It was also used to suggest that US intelligence agencies have all but dismissed the notion , when that is simply not the case .
The Times piece cites ‘ current and former officials ’ , without naming any , and even admits that those sources “ did not say whether Mr. Trump himself…has pressured the intelligence agencies.
” Indeed , the only named source in the piece is Anthony Ruggiero , the head of the National Security Council ’ s bureau tracking weapons of mass destruction .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ frustration during one videoconference in January that the C.I.A .
was unable to get behind any theory of the outbreak ’ s origin.
” That ’ s literally it .
One comment from someone in January .
Of course , the leftist blogs didn ’ t actually read beyond the headline , instead concocting their own posts proclaiming that Trump pressured intelligence officials to blame the Wuhan lab , according to the New York Times .
Meanwhile , US intelligence issued a statement saying that American agencies are still investigating the lab leak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pompeo again reiterated that the Communist Chinese government is refusing to allow the US access to the facilities .
At the same time China , which continues to claim that the virus was intentionally released by the US military , suggested that the US has a ‘ history of bacteriological warfare ’ .
A propaganda piece in China ’ s state newspaper China Daily falsely claimed that the United States used biological weapons during the Korean War .
“ [ T ] he media outlets that prop up a blame game by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forgetting that it was the U.S. that is alleged to have engaged in bacteriological warfare against Korean and Chinese soldiers during the Korean War ( 1950-53 ) and against the Vietnamese ( 1955-75 ) , ” Rod P. Kapunan , a “ Manila-based political analyst , ” wrote .
Kapunan also claimed that “ It was the US and some other Western powers that framed people in Iraq and Syria for alleged possession of chemical weapons.
” “ Yet the country that was the first to confront the coronavirus and the first to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own initiative is today being condemned as the cause of the pandemic , ” the piece goes on .
It also insinuates that “ U.S .
politicians feel no shame in ignoring the truth ” and that America is experiencing “ failure to effectively cope with the pandemic while China manages to curb domestic cases.

prisonplanet--2020-05-01--Pathetic WHO Complains It Has ‘Not Been Invited’ To Investigate Coronavirus Outbreak By China

Pathetic WHO Complains It Has ‘ Not Been Invited ’ To Investigate Coronavirus Outbreak By China Senior doctor admits that WHO “ strongly suspected ” human to human transmission in early January , but announced the opposite anyway The World Health Organisation has repeatedly requested access to China to take part in the country ’ s investigations into the origins of the coronavirus , but has been denied an ‘ invite ’ , according to one leading official .
Dr Gauden Galea told Sky News that “ WHO is making requests of the health commission and of the authorities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empty handed .
“ We know that some national investigation is happening but at this stage we have not been invited to join , ” Galea explained .
“ The origins of virus are very important , the animal-human interface is extremely important and needs to be studied , ” Galea said , adding that “ The priority is we need to know as much as possible to prevent the reoccurrence.
” The doctor also noted that the WHO has not been allowed to see logs from the two bio-labs in Wuhan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conducting research on a novel coronavirus .
The lab logs “ would need to be part of any full report , any full look at the story of the origins , ” Galea noted .
“ From all available evidence , WHO colleagues in our three-level system are convinced that the origins are in Wuhan and that it is a naturally occurring , not a manufactured , virus , ” the doctor said .
It ’ s a conclusion that now appears to be supported by US intelligence , but the possibility of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still a distinct possibility .
The WHO has Faced criticism from the world ’ s governments for parroting China ’ s talking points on the virus , and Galea said little to allay those concerns , noting “ We only know what China is reporting to us.
” He admitted that China ’ s death toll and case numbers are almost certainly false , noting “ that is something that China will have to answer for.
” When asked about the WHO ’ s infamous January 14 tweet announcing there was no human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the WHO did “ strongly ” suspect at the time that the virus was spreading in humans , but announced the opposite anyway .
“ WHO was increasingly worried and convinced , suspecting strongly there would be human-to-human transmission .
But as yet the cases that had been presented to us and the investigations had not yet confirmed that 100 % , ” Galea said .
He then revealed that the WHO only changed it ’ s stance when it was told by a healthcare worker immediately upon getting to Wuhan on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in humans .
“ The healthcare worker simply volunteered the moment we entered the fever clinic , ” Dr Galea said .
So , the only reason the WHO announced the virus was transmissible was due to a fortunate encounter with a well intentioned health worker .
The Chinese government did not tell them anything .
When asked if there was any justification for China denying the WHO a role in the investigation , Dr Galea replied “ From our point of view , no.
” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Adhanom Ghebreyesus , Thursday .
Pompeo said that the organisation has “ failed in its mission , ” and noted that Tedros “ traveled to China and then declined to declare it a pandemic until everyone in the world knew that was already true.

prisonplanet--2020-05-01--Why The Meat Shortages Are Going To Be Much Worse Than Most Americans Are Anticipating

Why The Meat Shortages Are Going To Be Much Worse Than Most Americans Are Anticipating Michael Snyder End Of The American Dream May 1 , 2020 Many Americans have been absolutely shocked by the meat shortages that have started to happen around the nation , but what most of them don ’ t realize is that the worst is yet to come .
More workers keep getting sick , more processing plants keep getting shut down , and Time Magazine is now warning that the meat shortages “ could last for months ” .
And even if meat is available @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be limited to one or two of a particular item on each trip .
For those not familiar with the concept , this is what is known as “ rationing ” .
And even though President Trump just issued an executive order that “ encourages ” meat processing facilities to stay open , it actually won ’ t do very much at all to alter our current trajectory , and I will explain why below .
But first , let ’ s talk about where things currently stand .
According to USA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hogs and sheep being slaughtered is way , way down compared to last year… And as the number of meat processing facilities closing down due to the COVID-19 pandemic has surged , the decline in meat production has accelerated… If production continues to stay at such a low level , we are going to run into major supply chain headaches very rapidly .
After all , do you plan to eat 42 percent less meat this year ?
I certainly do not .
In recent days , there was hope that President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a quick end to the meat shortages .
When I first heard about this executive order , I assumed that it would force all of the meat processing facilities to reopen and would shield the owners from any lawsuits .
But it turns out that this executive order doesn ’ t actually do either of those things… Sadly , it appears that this executive order isn ’ t really going to do much good at all .
Big meat processing corporations are going to be quite afraid to reopen facilities as long as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can promise you that there are already lawyers circling like vultures , and they are going to try to squeeze millions of dollars out of these large companies .
So when will the threat of lawsuits finally go away ?
Well , it won ’ t just be “ weeks ” , and “ a few months ” might be overly optimistic .
In our overly litigious society , reopening facilities and exposing your employees to the virus while a pandemic is still raging is basically the equivalent of begging for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or Congress steps up and takes bold action , nothing is going to change .
And if nothing changes , Tyson Foods is warning that “ millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the food chain ” … Tyson Foods , one of the U.S. ’ s biggest meat processors , didn ’ t mince words in a full page New York Times spread that ran Sunday , in which they warned , “ the food supply chain is breaking.
” “ As pork , beef and chicken plants are being forced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of time , millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain , ” John Tyson , Chairman of the Board of Tyson Foods , wrote in a letter published as an advertisement .
“ As a result , there will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed.
” And with supplies getting really tight , we are already starting to see prices go into the stratosphere .
In fact , Zero Hedge is reporting that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risen a whopping 62 percent since February… Eventually , it is likely that we will get to a point where many Americans are forced to cut back on their consumption of meat because they simply can ’ t afford as much of it anymore .
I hope that you did what you could to get prepared in advance , because it appears that these shortages may be quite painful .
If you can believe it , McDonald ’ s has already implemented a system of “ controlled allocation ” for their restaurants… Did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a day when McDonald ’ s would be worried about potentially running out of meat ?
Well , it is actually happening , and supplies are only going to get tighter in the months ahead .
Sadly , farmers are having to euthanize millions of chickens , pigs and cattlebecause meat processing facilities won ’ t take them while they are shut down .
So the truth is that there should be plenty of meat to go around , but fear of COVID-19 has caused a total breakdown of the supply chain .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and hopefully our politicians will step forward and take dramatic action before things get even worse .

About One-Fifth Of All The Jobs In The U.S. Are Already Gone, And This Economic Depression Is Just 6 Weeks Old

About One-Fifth Of All The Jobs In The U.S. Are Already Gone , And This Economic Depression Is Just 6 Weeks Old In all of U.S. history we have never seen anything like this .
I have been sitting at my desk for quite a while searching for the proper words to convey the gravity of what we are facing , and to be honest it has been quite a struggle .
On Thursday , we learned that another 3.8 million Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits last week .
That was much higher than many experts were anticipating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of unemployment caused by the coronavirus lockdowns should have started to fade quite a bit .
But instead , the job loss tsunami continues to roll on , and at this point a total of 30.3 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past six weeks .
The following comes from ABC News… According to numbers that come straight from the Federal Reserve , more than 152 million Americans were working in February , and that was an all-time high .
So losing 30.3 million jobs in six weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the United States have officially vanished in just a month and a half .
And actually things are even worse than that , because millions of Americans still have not been able to successfully file claims because state unemployment websites have been so overloaded .
Just check out these truly alarming numbers from the Economic Policy Institute… State unemployment websites were never designed to handle this sort of an onslaught .
For some unemployed Americans , attempting to get the benefits that they have been promised can be an exceedingly frustrating experience… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this is what an economic collapse looks like , and the months ahead are going to be exceedingly painful .
Needless to say , economic activity has come to a virtual standstill during these lockdowns , and this is really starting to show up in the numbers .
For example , Edmunds is projecting that U.S. auto sales will be down by more than half compared to last April… And major retailers are failing so rapidly now that it is hard to keep up with all the carnage .
The latest major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 has created an environment of great fear , and as I have been warning for a very long time , financial institutions tighten the flow of credit in such an environment .
We saw this happen during the last financial crisis , and it is starting to happen again now .
All over America we are seeing lending conditions being greatly tightened , and Wall Fargo just announced that they will no longer be taking applications for HELOCs at all… I was absolutely floored when I first read that .
Our entire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these changing conditions are going to create quite a bit of chaos for the foreseeable future .
Americans are going to find that it is much , much more difficult to be approved for home loans , auto loans and credit cards , and that is going to greatly depress economic activity .
Fear is also deeply affecting U.S. consumers , and at this point they are hoarding cash at a pace that we haven ’ t seen since the 1980s… But of course there are tens of millions of Americans that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t hoard cash because they don ’ t have any left .
According to one brand new survey , many of those Americans now find themselves unable “ to pay the rent , mortgage or utility bills ” … Fear of COVID-19 turned out to be the “ black swan event ” that burst our debt-fueled economic bubble , but this economic depression would not end even if the coronavirus pandemic suddenly disappeared tomorrow .
Now that the economic dominoes are tumbling , all of the economic momentum is taking us in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be able to reverse this process now that it has started .
Next week , a couple more million unemployed Americans will probably be added to our rapidly growing total , and it is just a matter of time before “ great civil unrest ” starts breaking out .
Our debt-fueled economy and our Ponzi scheme financial system were never going to be sustainable in the long run , and many have been warning for years that we would eventually be facing this sort of a scenario .

prisonplanet--2020-05-01--“Something Far More Troubling Here” – Trump Rages At Docs Exposing FBI Entrapment Of General Flynn

“ Something Far More Troubling Here ” – Trump Rages At Docs Exposing FBI Entrapment Of General Flynn The release of the Flynn documents highlight what Attorney General William Barr said on “ The Ingraham Angle ” on April 10th and stated that “ far more troubling ” material will be released as a result of the investigation of U.S. Attorney John Durham .
Barr stated that “ My own view is that the evidence shows that we ’ re not dealing with just the mistakes or sloppiness.
” He added “ there was something far more troubling here .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bottom of it .
And if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence , they will be prosecuted.
” And , on the heels of last night ’ s revelations that expose Comey ( and perhaps Obama ) as complicit in allegedly trapping Flynn , President Trump has tweeted his disgust : As Jonathan Turley opined earlier , the Flynn material discloses additional evidence of a hostile intent to target key Trump aides , including the use of a law that is notoriously and presumptively unconstitutional .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ any ground upon which Flynn could be entrapped .
As Sara Carter detailed last night , U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan unsealed four pages of stunning FBI emails and handwritten notes Wednesday , regarding former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn , which allegedly reveal the retired three star general was targeted by senior FBI officials for prosecution , stated Flynn ’ s defense attorney Sidney Powell .
Those notes and emails revealed that the retired three-star general appeared to be set up for a perjury trap by the senior members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigating the now-debunked allegations that President Donald Trump ’ s campaign colluded with Russia , said Sidney Powell , the defense lawyer representing Flynn .
Moreover , the Department of Justice release 11 more pages of documents Wednesday afternoon , according to Powell .
“ What is especially terrifying is that without the integrity of Attorney General Bill Barr and U.S. Attorney Jensen , we still would not have this clear exculpatory information as Mr. Van Grack and the prosecutors have opposed every request we have made , ” said Powell .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emails that the Department of Justice was determined at the time to prosecute Flynn , regardless of what they found , Powell said .
The documents , reviewed and obtained by SaraACarter.com , reveal that senior FBI officials discussed strategies for targeting and setting up Flynn , prior to interviewing him at the White House on Jan. 24 , 2017 .
It was that interview at the White House with former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Special Agent Joe Pientka that led Flynn , now 61 , to plead guilty after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strain and threats to prosecute his son .
Powell filed a motion earlier this year to withdraw Flynn ’ s guilty plea and to dismiss his case for egregious government misconduct .
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 , under duress by government prosecutors , to lying to investigators about his conversations with Russian diplomat Sergey Kislyak about sanctions on Russia .
This January , however , he withdrew his guilty plea in the U.S. District Court in Washington , D.C .
He stated that he was “ innocent of this crime ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecutors under threats that would charge his son with a crime .
He filed to withdraw his guilty plea after DOJ prosecutors went back on their word and asked the judge to sentence Flynn to up to six months in prison , accusing him of not cooperating in another case against his former partner .
Then prosecutors backtracked and said probation would be fine but by then Powell , his attorney , had already filed to withdraw his guilty plea .
The documents reveal that prior to the interview with Flynn in January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the conclusion that Flynn was guilty and beyond that the officials were working together to see how best to corner the 33-year military veteran and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency .
The bureau deliberately chose not to show him the evidence of his phone conversation to help him in his recollection of events , which is standard procedure .
Even stranger , the agents that interviewed Flynn later admitted that they didn ’ t believe he lied during the interview with them .
Powell told this reporter last week that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ stunning Brady evidence ’ proving Flynn was deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI to target President Trump .
She noted earlier this week in her motion that the evidence “ also defeats any argument that the interview of Mr. Flynn on January 24 was material to any ‘ investigation.
’ The government has deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution—knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.
” Powell told this reporter Wednesday that the order by Sullivan to unseal the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Flynn ’ s motion to dismiss for egregious government conduct is exposing the truth to the public .
She said it ’ s “ easy to see that he was set up and that Mr. Flynn was the insurance policy for the FBI.
” Powell ’ s reference to the ‘ insurance policy , ’ is based on one of the thousands of texts exchanged by former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and her then-lover former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok .
In an Aug. 15 , 2016 , text from Strzok to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy ’ s ( former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ) office — that there ’ s no way he gets elected — but I ’ m afraid we can ’ t take that risk .
It ’ s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before 40.
” The new documents were turned over to Powell , by U.S. Attorney Timothy Shea .
They were discovered after an extensive review by the attorneys appointed by U.S. Attorney General William Barr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which includes U.S. Attorney of St. Louis , Jeff Jensen .
In one of the emails dated Jan. 23 , 2017 , FBI lawyer Lisa Page , who at the time was having an affair with Strzok and who worked closely with him on the case discussed the charges the bureau would bring on Flynn before the actual interview at the White House took place .
Those email exchanges were prepared for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , who was fired by the DOJ for lying multiple times to investigators with DOJ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Former FBI Director James Comey , who was fired by President Trump for his conduct , revealed during an interview with Nicolle Wallace last year that he sent the FBI agents to interview Flynn at the White House under circumstances he would have never done to another administration .
“ I probably wouldn ’ t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation , a more organized administration , ” Comey said .
“ In the George W. Bush administration … or the Obama administration , two men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have increased appreciation for over the last two years.
” In the Jan 23 , email Page asks Strzok the day before he interviews Flynn at the White House : In the motion filed earlier this week , Powell stated “ since August 2016 at the latest , partisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn .
These documents show in their own handwriting and emails that they intended either to create an offense they could prosecute or at least get him fired .
Then came the incredible malfeasance of Mr. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s prosecution despite their knowledge there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.
” Attached to the email is handwritten notes regarding Flynn that are stunning on their face .
It is lists of how the agents will guide him in an effort to get him to trip up on his answers during their questioning and what charges they could bring against him .
The next two points reveal that the agents were concerned about how their interview with Flynn would be perceived saying “ if we ’ re seen as playing games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be furious.
” It appears evident from an email from former FBI agent Strzok , who interviewed Flynn at the White House to then FBI General Counsel James Baker , who is no longer with the FBI and was himself under investigation for leaking alleged national security information to the media .
The email was a series of questions to prepare McCabe for his phone conversation with Flynn on the day the agents went to interview him at the White House .
These questions would be questions that Flynn may ask McCabe before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I ’ m sure he ’ s thought through these , but for DD ’ s ( referencing Deputy Director Andrew McCabe ) consideration about how to answer in advance of his call with Flynn : Am I the subject of an investigation ?
Is it an espionage investigation ?
Do I need an attorney ?
Do I need to tell Priebus ?
The President ?
Will you tell Priebus ?
The President ?
Will you tell the WH what I tell you ?
What happens to the information/who will you tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to interview other people ?
Will our interview be released publically ?
Will the substance of our interview be released ?
How long will this take ( depends on his cooperation – I ’ d plan 45 minutes ) ?
Can we do this over the phone ?
I can explain all this right now , I did this , this , this [ do you shut him down ?
Hear him out ?
Conduct the interview if he starts talking ?
Do you want another agent/witness standing by in case he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we finally going to see some consequences for a deep state lackey ?

British doctors have warned that 250 ventilators bought from China could cause “ significant patient harm , including death ” if there are used on Chinese coronavirus suffers in hospitals in the United Kingdom .
Senior doctors from a National Health Service ( NHS ) regional trust in Birmingham said that the build of the Shangrila 510 model ventilators , made by Beijing Aeonmed Co Ltd , was “ basic ” and that the oxygen supply was “ variable and unreliable ” .

prisonplanet--2020-05-01--Peter Schiff Debunks The “Gold Is Set To Crash” Narrative

Peter Schiff Debunks The “ Gold Is Set To Crash ” Narrative • On the one hand , we had Bank of America raising its 18-month price projection for gold to $ 3,000 .
• On the other hand , some people argue the price of gold could crash later in the year .
Gold is up over 13 % on the year , but the yellow metal has seen some price pressure over the last couple of days as various government agencies have started to move toward reopening the economy .
An article published by CCN offers three reasons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the coming months – none of them particularly compelling .
The first two reasons both embrace the mainstream narrative that the economy was great before the pandemic and that it will quickly go back to “ normal ” as soon as governments open things back up again .
But there is no normal to go back to .
The economy wasn ’ t normal before the pandemic .
Coronavirus was merely the pin that popped the economic bubble .
Everybody is still fixated on the pin , but getting rid of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming out of the bubble .
A coronavirus vaccine would ease the pandemic , but it wouldn ’ t do anything to address the malinvestments and debt that were already rampant in the economy before coronavirus reared its ugly head .
In fact , gold was already on an upward trajectory before COVID-19 .
In 2019 , the yellow metal charted its best year since 2010 .
The price increased by 18.4 % in dollar terms .
This was in large part due to the Fed ’ s pivot to loose monetary policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the central bank was already cutting interest rates , running repo operations and relaunching quantitative easing prior to the pandemic .
The response to coronavirus simply put the Fed ’ s extraordinary monetary policy into hyper-drive .
The economy was already broken thanks to the efforts of the Fed in response to the 2008 financial crisis .
To fight the impact of coronavirus , the central bank doubled down on those policies .
This is basically like the arsonist throwing gasoline on the fire he set and then claiming he ’ s trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads us to CCN ’ s reason # 3 – deflation .
This kind of Federal Reserve monetary is the exact opposite of deflation .
In fact , it is literally inflationary – increasing the money supply .
That doesn ’ t necessarily mean it will manifest in rising consumer prices , but it certainly doesn ’ t scream “ deflation.
” Peter Schiff recently said that with this monetary policy , hyperinflation has gone from the worst-case scenario to the most likely scenario .
When you create money , you are creating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manifest in various ways .
I mean , when the stock market went up a lot , when the real estate market went up a lot , it was inflation that was driving those price increases , not the real increase in the value of the businesses , but the nominal price .
And prices are going to rise .
The Fed is putting money into the economy at a time where production is actually going down .
What ’ s happening as a result of the coronavirus is businesses are not operating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Services are not being provided .
Yet , we are creating more demand by flooding the economy with freshly printed money .
You ’ re just focusing on certain prices .
Yes .
Airline tickets are down .
Nobody is flying .
OK. Gas prices are down .
Nobody is driving .
This is only temporary .
But look at what ’ s happening to other prices .
They ’ re already rising .
And they ’ re going to rise even faster in the days , weeks and months ahead.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oil prices .
But this is purely a function of supply , demand and overproduction .
It does not imply a broader drop in consumer prices .
In fact , other prices are skyrocketing .
As Peter explained , “ When you have a rise in consumer prices , it ’ s a broad-based rise in the general level of prices .
But within that , prices can be falling .
… Oil prices can go down in an inflationary environment .
Don ’ t be fooled by what you are seeing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take months for the impacts of all of this Fed money-printing to work its way through the economy .
In a nutshell , deflation is not the worry here .
And the dollar isn ’ t likely to soar .
In fact , Peter said people will likely start dumping dollars .
And when that happens , what will they buy ?
Indeed , the environment is bullish for the yellow metal .
After all , the Fed can ’ t print gold .

“ Don ’ t Close RAZOR ” : Flynn FBI Setup Continues To Unravel As Texts Reveal Strzok Went Off The Rails : President Trump said at a press conference today that he would consider bringing Michael Flynn back into the administration , saying that his former national security adviser is “ essentially exonerated.
” After a US District Court Judge unsealed four pages of FBI emails and handwritten notes which provided the strongest evidence of a perjury trap , attorney and journalist @ Techno_Fog has just connected two more damning dots .
According to a new filing in Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into Trump ’ s former National Security Adviser was called “ Crossfire Razor.
” Notably , on January 1 , 2017 , the FBI ’ s Washington DC field office recommended closing the case against Flynn after finding “ no derogatory information ” against him .
“ The goal of the investigation was to determine whether [ Flynn ] , associated with the Trump campaign , was directed and controlled by and/or coordinated activities with the Russian Federation in a manner which is a threat to the national security and/or possibly a violation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” reads an FBI memorandum .
“ Following the initiation of captioned case , the [ Crossfire Hurricane ] team conducted a check of logical databases for any derogatory information on [ Flynn ] , ” it continues , concluding : “ No derogatory information was identified in FBI holdings.

” In the Jan 23 , email Page asks Strzok the day before he interviews Flynn at the White House : “ I have a question for you .
Could the admonition re 1001 be given at the beginning at the interview ?
Or does it have to come following a statement which agents believe to be false ?
Does the policy speak to that ?
( I feel bad that I don ’ t know this but I don ’ t remember ever having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve only charged it once in the context of lying to a federal probation officer ) .
It seems to be if the former , then it would be an easy way to just casually slip that in .
“ Of course as you know sir , federal law makes it a crime to… ” In the motion filed earlier this week , Powell stated “ since August 2016 at the latest , partisan FBI and DOJ leaders conspired to destroy Mr. Flynn .

prisonplanet--2020-05-01--SJWs are Mad Robert Downey Jr. Used ‘Blackface’ in Tropic Thunder

SJWs are Mad Robert Downey Jr. Used ‘ Blackface ’ in Tropic Thunder People on Twitter are mad that the man who played Tony Stark donned “ blackface ” in his performance of the 2008 satirical comedy Tropic Thunder .
Of course , many things fail to pass the bar for wokeness these days as seemingly innocuous things are deemed problematic .
Even much-loved Robert Downey Jr has been vilified for wearing “ blackface ” –a huge no-no in today ’ s hypersensitive public arena–in a movie that was released twelve years ago .
One tweeter reminded social media , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did full blackface and nobody said ANYTHING , ” to which other commenters , less than impressed , tore apart a tweet accused of chasing clout .
“ Might as well put ‘ please give me likes & attention , ’ ” replied one account .
A second tweeter wrote : “ If you watched the movie you ’ d know why.
” Another account jokingly tweeted about “ woke teenagers ” coming to the groundbreaking realization that a childhood favorite actor may have to be the latest victim claimed by so-called “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweeted : “ I hate that teenagers tend to discover Twitter before they discover Google.
” To which another person wittily replied : “ I hate that teenagers discover the internet before a healthy relationship with their parents.
” “ Wait till they find out he got OSCAR NOMINATED for it , ” remarked a third person .
A fourth person wrote : “ I didn ’ t know about RDJ ( Robert Downey Junior ) before watching that movie , so I genuinely thought he was a black guy .
You can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was actually white was damn surprising to me.
” Picking apart one of the cancel culture tweets , one account tweeted : “ ‘ I can ’ t find an apology either ?
?
?
?
’ Lol .
They ’ re so used to people cowering to their screeching cancel culture that it ’ s actually surprising to them when somebody doesn ’ t do it.
” Many other social media users took to Twitter to pick apart a one-dimensional narrative of Robert Downey Jr simply using blackface for racist end–thus deserving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indicated frustration toward “ woke ” culture for indiscriminate cancellations of anybody who fails to toe the line .
Others blasted blackface critics for never having watched the movie before passing judgement .
Last year , people were upset with Pennywise–the demonic nightmarish entity assuming the form of a clown that eats children from Stephen King ’ s classic , It–for not being enough of an LGBT ally .
