An experimental antibody developed by researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands can defeat coronavirus in a laboratory setting , according to a new study published in Nature Communications Bloomberg , which notes that the antibody – known as 47D11 – neutralized the virus in cell cultures .
Monoclonal antibodies are proteins created in a lab which resemble naturally occurring versions used by the immune system to fight off viruses and bacteria .
47D11 was created by using genetically modified mice to produce antibodies which target a specific site on a virus – in this case the spike protein , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enter human cells .
After the mouse antibodies were proven effective in defeating coronavirus , the researchers ‘ reformatted ’ it to create a fully human version , according to the study .
The experimental antibody has neutralized the virus in cell cultures .

prisonplanet--2020-05-05--California First To Be Approved For Up To $10 Billion Bailout From Feds To Pay Unemployment Benefits

California First To Be Approved For Up To $ 10 Billion Bailout From Feds To Pay Unemployment Benefits As politicians argue over whether or not to bailout decades-long bad decisions on the basis of a sudden virus/lockdown-driven drop in revenues , California has stepped up to the plate with what appears to be a direct request for a bailout to fund the benefits for millions of newly-unemployed residents ( and illegal immigrants ) .
Just a day after California Governor Newsom warned of the state ’ s sudden budget collapse… “ Last year I did a May revise with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsom said on Friday during his daily coronavirus briefing , according to Bloomberg .
“ This year I will be doing a May revise looking at tens of billions of dollars in deficit .
We just went tens of billions in surplus in just weeks to deficits.
“ The Wall Street Journal reports that California has become the first state to borrow money from the federal government so it can continue paying out rising claims for unemployment benefits during the coronavirus pandemic .
The Golden State borrowed $ 348 million in federal funds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 10 billion for this purpose through the end of July , a Treasury Department spokesman said Monday .
“ I ’ m doing everything I can to work with cities and counties , but we are not going to be in a position , even as the nation ’ s fifth-largest economy , to provide for the needs of all the cities and the counties without federal support , ” said Newsom .
Meanwhile , in a memo last week , Newsom ’ s finance director ordered departments to significantly slash spending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on new goods and service contracts .
As the journal concludes , California serves as an early sign of the potential magnitude of the federal assistance that could be required if states are to continue paying out jobless benefits .
It is one of more than 20 states and jurisdictions that entered the current economic crisis without enough money in their unemployment trust funds to pay benefits through a yearlong recession , according to Labor Department data .
With 30 million unemployment claims filed since the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the shutdown of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are reporting that they ’ ll need at least $ 1 trillion in aid from the federal government – which has already doled out over $ 2.2 trillion in relief for business loans , stimulus checks , expanded unemployment benefits and small business assistance .
And with a lack of tax revenue , states with bloated budgets and massive entitlement programs are facing significant pain in the months ahead .
The U.S. government has also approved loans of up to $ 12.6 billion for Illinois and up to $ 1.1 billion for Connecticut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state unemployment insurance funds , though the two states hadn ’ t yet started borrowing by the end of April .
California was the only state to have accessed the program so far in the current downturn , the Treasury spokesman said .
One wonders if the reason that the other states haven ’ t been so quick to draw down on the loans is because they are hoping for a broader-based bailout from a Democrat-sponsored Congressional bill that enables pension benefits to be covered… and not just the jobless .

South African Data Analysts : Lockdown Will Lead to 29 Times More Deaths Than Coronavirus Economic impact will be far deadlier in the long term .
A data analyst consortium in South Africa asserts that the economic consequences of the country ’ s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself .
“ The model , which will be made public today for debate , was developed by a consortium calling itself Panda ( Pandemic ~ Data Analysis ) , which includes four actuaries , an economist and a doctor , while the work was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reports the Financial Mail .
“ The process was led by two fellows at the Actuarial Society of SA , Peter Castleden and Nick Hudson.
” According to the research , the 29 times figure is a “ conservative estimate ” of how many lives will be lost due to the impact of poverty caused by economic hardship over the long term .
The Mail describes how the consortium reached their conclusion .
“ In SA , they estimate that 5.4 years of life have been lost per Covid-19 death .
They then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which they predict – 20,000 – as well as the actuarial society ’ s prediction of 88,000 fatalities .
They factor in that the lockdown will have reduced some deaths , but not all .
In the end , their model translated into a minimum of 26,800 “ years of lives lost ” due to Covid-19 , and a maximum of 473,500 years .
( This , critically , shouldn ’ t be confused with the actual number of fatalities expected from Covid-19 . )
” “ The actuaries then used the figures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the impact on poverty .
On Friday , the Treasury estimated that between 3-million and 7-million jobs will be lost due to the measures taken to combat the virus .
The actuaries then work out that , conservatively , 10 % of South Africans will become poorer , and as a result , will lose a few months of their lives.
” The model shows that the number of years lost due to the economic collapse caused by the lockdown will be between 14 million and 24 million , which means the 29 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and could be even higher .
The model also showed that based on European data , “ 90 % of Covid-19 deaths were in people 70 or older with one or more comorbidity , while the relative risk to the young and healthy is negligible.
” The researchers have sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa demanding an end to the lockdown and calling it a “ humanitarian disaster ” that will “ dwarf Covid-19.
” As we previously highlighted , in the UK , Professor Richard Sullivan warns that there will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths due to cancer victims not getting screenings and treatment due to the focus on COVID-19 .

US Universities Now Shutting Down ‘ Arms Of China ’ s Propaganda Machine ’ Confucius Institutes have been used by communist state to infiltrate America Another US university has announced that it is shutting down its Confucius Institute , the organization which is overseen by the Chinese Ministry of Education , amid charges that the ‘ cultural exchange ’ programs are being used by the communist state to indoctrinate Americans and spread Chinese propaganda .
The University of California-Davis is the latest of a string of Universities to axe the Confucius Institute , after heightened concerns among US officials that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gary S. May wrote a letter on April 28 to the Hanban division of China ’ s Ministry of Education announcing the decision .
“ The time has come for us to consider new pathways by building on cultural exchange programs like those our Confucius Institute has fostered , ” May wrote .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--They Want To Make “Social Distancing” A Permanent Part Of Our Lives

They Want To Make “ Social Distancing ” A Permanent Part Of Our Lives Michael Snyder End of The American Dream May 6 , 2020 Humans are inherently social creatures , and that is never going to change .
Within each one of us there is a fundamental need for connection with others , but now these coronavirus lockdowns have separated us from one another like never before .
Thankfully , many states are now starting to end their lockdowns , but unfortunately this is definitely not the end for “ social distancing ” .
Just as 9/11 greatly altered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many of our social engineers now intend to make “ social distancing ” a permanent part of our lives .
If they have their way , there will be written or unwritten rules about how close you can get to other people virtually everywhere that you go .
Can you imagine a world where you have to constantly be concerned about walking , standing or sitting too close to someone else ?
Already , there is talk of putting physical markings on sidewalks in order to constantly remind all of us not to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wal-Mart and other major retailers are already starting to put arrows on the floor to remind us which direction to shop so that we can maintain proper “ social distancing ” .
We are being told that restaurants may have to start putting empty tables between customers , sports stadiums may have to keep at least half their seats empty , and churches may have to start holding services in shifts .
Just like in the days after 9/11 , we will be told that the changes are just “ temporary measures ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures ” long enough they have a way of becoming permanent .
When I was much younger , I loved to attend concerts .
And at first I was encouraged to hear that some states were going to start allowing live concerts once again , but then I learned about the new “ fan pods ” … Travis McCready , the singer of the country-rock band Bishop Gunn , will be performing what ’ s billed as an “ intimate acoustic set ” in Fort Smith at the city ’ s TempleLive venue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place .
The show will take place on May 15 , three days before the scheduled reopening .
According to Billboard , assigned seats for the show will be at least six feet apart per grouping in what Ticketmaster is calling “ fan pods.
” As fans enter the venue , they ’ ll be required to wear face masks ( including the venue ’ s employees ) , have their temperatures taken at the door and capacity for the 1,100 person venue will be capped at 229 .
Are you kidding me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to prevent the spread of the virus , but it isn ’ t going to work .
Look , unless you plan on locking yourself in your own home for the next couple of years , you are almost certainly going to be exposed to the virus no matter how careful you are .
And once you are exposed to the virus , what is really going to matter is the strength of your immune system , and so that should be your focus instead of trying to maintain “ proper social distancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , some of the “ social distancing ” measures that we are now seeing are completely and utterly ridiculous .
For example , at one supermarket in Philadelphia cashiers are actually working in “ tent-like ” plastic enclosures… Those enclosures may protect those workers for a short period of time , but it is inevitable that they will eventually be exposed to the virus .
This pandemic is never going to burn itself out until herd immunity is achieved , and herd immunity is never going to be achieved until about 70 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of course it would be wonderful if someone could actually find a way to keep 70 percent of the population from becoming infected , but because this virus spreads like wildfire that simply is not going to be possible .
In the end , “ social distancing ” can temporarily slow the transmission of the virus , but roughly the same proportion of the population will eventually catch it whether we have “ social distancing ” or not .
Thankfully , some industries are already starting to push back against “ social distancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to require airlines to keep middle seats vacant on all flights from now on , and the airlines are fighting this really hard… If you get on an airplane , you pretty much have to assume that you are going to be exposed to all sorts of nasty bugs .
That has always been true , and there will never be a time when it isn ’ t true .
If you don ’ t want to be exposed to all sorts of nasty bugs , just don ’ t fly .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are literally thousands of ways that you could potentially catch this virus , and anyone that believes that “ proper social distancing ” will keep people 100 percent safe is just being delusional .
Sadly , “ social distancing ” has been pounded into our heads so relentlessly in recent weeks that a big chunk of the population has become big believers in it .
In fact , one recent survey discovered that almost 60 percent of everyone living in Seattle intends to continue practicing social distancing “ for a year or longer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pattern for a whole year , there is a really good chance that it becomes permanent .
We can ’ t let them do this to us .
They fundamentally changed our society after 9/11 , and now the social engineers want to do it again .
We must stop them this time , because the alternative is absolutely unthinkable .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--The Bible Says That There Will Be Famines In The Last Days

The Bible Says That There Will Be Famines In The Last Days Could it be possible that the stage is being set for horrific famines that the Bible has been warning us about for nearly 2,000 years ?
A few years ago , any talk of “ coming famines ” would have seemed absolutely ludicrous to most people in the western world , but the events of the last several months have changed everything .
Now , the UN is openly warning that famines of “ biblical proportions ” could be on the way , and the head of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we could soon see 300,000 people literally starve to death every single day .
Nightmarish droughts , African Swine Fever , COVID-19 and armies of locusts in Africa the size of major cities have combined to create a “ perfect storm ” , and global food supplies are becoming tighter with each passing month .
As conditions continue to deteriorate , many are starting to wonder if certain prophetic passages in the Bible are starting to come to fruition .
For example , in Matthew 24:7 Jesus specifically warned us that there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days immediately preceding His return… We can also find very similar warnings from Jesus in Mark chapter 13 and Luke chapter 21 .
So if we actually are living during the time just before the return of Jesus , we should expect to see horrifying global famines start to emerge , and that is precisely what we are witnessing at this moment .
In Revelation 6:8 , we are told that “ hunger ” will eventually be a major factor in the deaths of a large portion of the global population… Of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet .
But are we starting to move in that direction ?
David Beasley is the executive director of the UN World Food Program , and he recently stated that we are heading directly into “ the worst humanitarian crisis since World War Two ” .
Hunger is rapidly rising all over the globe , and he believes that if dramatic intervention does not happen quickly we could see an astounding death toll .
According to Beasley , we could soon see 300,000 people around the world starve to death every single day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even factor in the effect of this coronavirus pandemic… As fear of COVID-19 pushes us into an unprecedented global economic downturn , how much worse will that make our rapidly growing global food crisis ?
Of course in the western world we are much better off than most of the rest of the planet for now .
Famine is definitely not an immediate concern for us , but thanks to COVID-19 we are now wrestling with significant food shortages .
Because meat supplies are so tight , approximately one-fifth of all Wendy ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ menus .
When I first read that , I was absolutely stunned .
Of course Wendy ’ s is not the only one dealing with strained supply chains .
Costco has started limiting the amount of meat that each customer can purchase , and Tyson Foods has announced that their capacity to slaughter hogs has fallen “ by about 50 percent ” .
Time Magazine is warning us that the meat shortages “ could last for months ” , and they could stretch even longer than that if this coronavirus pandemic doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ farmers all over America are seeing their hard work go to waste because broken supply chains have made it impossible to sell what they have produced .
One industry expert is actually claiming that “ billions ” of dollars worth of crops have gone to waste as a result of this crisis… I have a feeling that eventually we will greatly regret allowing so much good food to go to waste .
Sadly , most of the rest of the world is actually in much worse shape than we are right now .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ weather patterns were playing havoc with harvests all over the world .
For instance , Australia is traditionally a major exporter of wheat to the rest of the world , but unprecedented droughts have forced Australia to actually start importing wheat… In addition , another plague of “ biblical proportions ” has been killing off pigs in unprecedented numbers .
When I tell people that African Swine Fever has already killed off half the pigs in China and one-fourth of all the pigs in the entire world , a lot of people don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me give you a quote that comes directly from New Scientist… And if you don ’ t believe them , just do a Google search and you will find countless mainstream news sources telling you the exact same facts .
This is actually happening , and the death toll is rising with each passing day .
Meanwhile , a new generation of locust armies that is being described as “ 20 times bigger ” than the last generation is destroying countless farms all across Africa , the Middle East and parts of Asia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my previous articles… Even before COVID-19 became the biggest public health crisis to hit the globe in decades , enormous swarms of locusts the size of major cities were devouring crops throughout eastern Africa , across the Middle East and even in some parts of Asia .
Now a new generation that officials are describing as “ 20 times bigger ” has emerged , and the devastation that this new generation of locusts is causing is extremely alarming .
These colossal locust swarms can travel up to 90 miles a day , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they descend upon a field they can literally eat everything there in as little as 30 seconds .
This new generation of locusts has been spotted as far south as Congo , as far north as Iran and as far east as India .
In other words , the food supplies of billions of people are at risk .
Never before have we seen so many catastrophic threats to the global food supply emerge at the same time .
It appears that “ the perfect storm ” is now upon us , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to accelerate in the months ahead .
Of course we still have quite a way to go before we get to the type of famines described in the Scriptures , but it certainly looks like the stage is being set for severe hunger on a global scale .
But Jesus didn ’ t warn us about these things so that we would live in fear .
God knew about all of this in advance , He is in control , and He has a plan .
Unfortunately , most of the world doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the God of the Bible or His plan , and so they will be facing what is to come all by themselves .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--The UK Is Now Home To The Deadliest COVID-19 Outbreak In Europe

The UK Is Now Home To The Deadliest COVID-19 Outbreak In Europe After flip-flopping a handful of times over the past few weeks , it looks like the UK has finally cemented its status as the deadliest outbreak in Europe , with the UK death toll topping 32,000 on Monday , placing it decidedly above Italy ’ s 29,079 , even though Italy still has confirmed more cases overall , according to a tally kept by Reuters .
Reuters reports that the milestone will probably “ increase the political pressure on Boris Johnson ” , who has been consistently blamed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countrywide lockdown , a decision he made at the behest of the government ’ s top viral experts , as Reuters ’ own reporting readily confirmed early last month .
The difference-maker that finally put the UK over the top was a report from the UK national statistics office which found another 7,000 deaths in England and Wales since the beginning of the outbreak , as HMG pledges to account for ‘ every death ’ caused by the virus .
The UK ’ s most recent death toll was 32,313 .
This policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will emerge as the death-toll leader in Europe , heaping even more pressure on Johnson , who is still enjoying something of a bump in the polls from his hospital stint .
Notably , the new figures haven ’ t yet been reflected in the Johns Hopkins data , though that should change as the data are updated .
The political opposition in the UK – which is still processing the results of a snap election held late last year that delivered a surprisingly large majority for Johnson and his conservatives – has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were being overrun in Italy before he started closing schools and businesses .
They also say his government was too slow to introduce mass testing and provide enough protective equipment to hospitals , issues we now know were in part due to China ’ s hoarding .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Elvis Was King, Ike Was President, & 116,000 Americans Died In A Pandemic

Elvis Was King , Ike Was President , & 116,000 Americans Died In A Pandemic Jeffrey Tucker The American Institute for Economic Research May 6 , 2020 Elvis ’ s new movie “ Jailhouse Rock ” was packing the theaters .
The last episode of “ I Love Lucy ” aired on television .
The show “ West Side Story ” held tryouts in Washington , D.C. , and opened on Broadway in September .
Ford ’ s new car the Edsel rolled off the assembly line .
The Cold War with Russia was on and “ In God We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The first Toys R Us store opened .
Also that year , the so-called Asian Flu killed 116,000 Americans .
Here is the full summary from the Centers for Disease Control : In February 1957 , a new influenza A ( H2N2 ) virus emerged in East Asia , triggering a pandemic ( “ Asian Flu ” ) .
This H2N2 virus was comprised of three different genes from an H2N2 virus that originated from an avian influenza A virus , including the H2 hemagglutinin and the N2 neuraminidase genes .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Hong Kong in April 1957 , and in coastal cities in the United States in summer 1957 .
The estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States .
Like the current pandemic , there was a demographic pattern to the deaths .
It hit the elderly population with heart and lung disease .
In a frightening twist , the virus could also be fatal for pregnant women .
The infection rate was probably even higher than the Spanish flu of 1918 ( 675,000 Americans died from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overall case fatality rate to 0.67 % .
A vaccine became available in late 1957 but was not widely distributed .
The population of the U.S. at the time was 172 million , which is a little more than half of the current population .
Life expectancy was 69 as versus 78 today .
Even with shorter lives , it was a healthier population with lower rates of obesity .
To extrapolate the data to a counterfactual , we can conclude that this virus was more wicked than COVID-19 thus far .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at this year , nothing was shut down .
Restaurants , schools , theaters , sporting events , travel – everything continued without interruption .
Without a 24-hour news cycle with thousands of news agencies and a billion websites hungry for traffic , mostly people paid no attention other than to keep basic hygiene .
It was covered in the press as a medical problem .
The notion that there was a political solution never occurred to anyone .
Again , this was a very serious flu , and it persisted for 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hong Kong flu of 1968 .
The New York Times had some but not much coverage .
The mystery of why today vast numbers of governments around the world ( but not all ) have crushed economies , locked people under house arrest , wrecked business , spread despair , disregarded basic freedoms and rights will require years if not decades to sort out .
Is it the news cycle that is creating mass hysteria ?
Political ambition and arrogance ?
A decline in philosophical regard for freedom as the best system for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ultimate answer will look roughly like what historians say about the Great War ( WWI ) : it was a perfect storm that created a calamity that no one intended at the outset .
For staying calm and treating the terrible Asian flu of 1957 as a medical problem to address with medical intelligence , rather than as an excuse to unleash Medieval-style brutality , this first postwar generation deserves our respect and admiration .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Ron Paul: The Fed Is Far More Lethal Than COVID-19

Ron Paul : The Fed Is Far More Lethal Than COVID-19 Ron Paul The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity May 6 , 2020 Last week the Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates at or near zero until the economy recovers from the government-imposed shutdown .
Following this announcement , Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell urged Congress and the Trump administration to put aside any concerns about the deficit and spend whatever it takes to stimulate the economy and combat coronavirus .
The Federal Reserve previously announced it would make unlimited purchases of Treasury securities , thus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spending and debt .
With some members of Congress talking about another multi-trillion-dollar stimulus bill , and with President Trump proposing a two trillion dollars infrastructure plan as a way to get Americans back to work , it is obvious , and not surprising , that Congress and President Trump gleefully agree with Powell ’ s advice .
Increasing the purchase of federal debt is not the only action the Fed has taken in a desperate attempt to keep the economy afloat .
Since the coronavirus lockdowns began in early March , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Federal Reserve has also launched an unprecedented program to “ loan ” money directly to businesses .
While some states are beginning to end the lockdowns , it may be months or even another year before all the lockdowns are finally ended .
It is unlikely that the economy will completely recover after the shutdown ends .
The economy was teetering on the brink of a recession months before anyone heard of coronavirus .
Last September , a panicked Fed began emergency infusions of cash into the repurchasing market , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each other .
The Fed ’ s balance sheet expansion also began in September .
The Fed was also pushing interest rates down before the coronavirus panic , and it will likely keep rates at or even below zero long after the crisis related to the shutdown subsides .
Economic stagnation combined with zero or negative interest rates remove incentive for people to save .
This depletes the supply of private capital available to invest in businesses and jobs .
The lack of private capital will put pressure on the Federal Reserve to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new lending programs indefinitely .
Each of the Federal Reserve ’ s responses to the coronavirus shutdown increases the distortions of the market caused by the Federal Reserve ’ s meddling with the money supply and interest rates .
These increased distortions guarantee the inevitable crash will be much more severe than the current downturn .
The one upside is that the next meltdown will likely lead to the end of the fiat money system and thus the end of the welfare-warfare state .
The only way to minimize the coming crisis is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The first step is to end the lockdown and let businesses reopen and people go back to work .
Congress must then begin challenging monetary policy by passing the Audit the Fed bill .
Congress should also cut spending , starting with ending our hyper-interventionist foreign policy and bringing the troops home .
Ending the welfare-warfare state and the fiat money system may cause some short-term pain , but that pain will be dwarfed by the long-term gains in liberty , peace , and prosperity .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Amazon VP Quits “In Dismay” Over Bezos’ “Chickensh*t Firing Of Whistleblowers”

While Amazon warehouse employees were striking on May Day , a top engineer at Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) “ quit in dismay ” over the company ’ s “ firing of whistleblowers who were making noise about warehouse employees frightened of Covid-19.
” In a blog post titled “ , ” Tim Bray , a distinguished engineer at AWS , detailed how employees who signed a petition demanding virus-related workplace protections were fired .
He claims several people were “ fired on the spot ” in early April after sending out an email announcing a video call had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during the pandemic .
“ The justifications were laughable ; it was clear to any reasonable observer that they were turfed for whistleblowing , ” Bray said in the blog post .
He spent more than five years at Amazon , following positions at Google and Sun , but in the past , he ’ s called Amazon “ the best job I ’ ve ever had.
” However , the breaking point for Bray was when several employees were fired , including Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa , who both criticized the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the COVID-19 crisis .
Amazon said both employees were fired for “ repeatedly violating internal policies.
” Before Bray left his million-dollar per year job , he voiced his frustration through official channels before resigning last Friday .
“ That done , remaining an Amazon VP would have meant , in effect , signing off on actions I despised .
So I resigned , ” he wrote .
The victims weren ’ t abstract entities but real people ; here are some of their names : Courtney Bowden , Gerald Bryson , Maren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Chris Smalls .
I ’ m sure it ’ s a coincidence that every one of them is a person of color , a woman , or both .
Right ?
” We noted Chris Smalls back in late March .
He was a warehouse employee at an Amazon Staten Island facility , who was fired after he started a strike to force better safety checks after colleagues contracted the virus .
According to Mediaite , Bray added some phrases that described the firings of the whistleblowers : “ Like painting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Either guilty , or has something to hide.
’ ” A leaked memo obtained by Vice News revealed how an Amazon executive referred to Smalls as “ not smart or articulate ” during a meeting with Jeff Bezos .
Amazon made $ 33 million per hour during the first quarter as consumers panic hoarded products while warehouse employees worked in unsafe spaces as some contracted the virus .
“ And at the end of the day , the big problem isn ’ t the specifics of COVID-19 response .
It ’ s that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as fungible units of pick-and-pack potential .
Only that ’ s not just Amazon , it ’ s how 21st-century capitalism is done , ” Bray concluded .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Unemployment Kills: The Longer Lockdowns Last, The Worse It Will Get

Unemployment Kills : The Longer Lockdowns Last , The Worse It Will Get Fed chairman Jerome Powell on Wednesday announced the economic data now coming out “ is worse than any data we have seen for the economy.
” This is due in part to to twenty years of stimulus-driven economic growth based on blowing up and sustaining bubbles through easy money .
But it is now made much worse by the fact that many governments have frozen their states ’ and nations ’ economies , shut down businesses , and prevented markets from adapting to the new realities of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a heightened risk of disease .
The result has been catastrophic unemployment , with 30 million Americans filing for unemployment over the past six weeks ( one survey puts it at 50 million ) .
In states that insist on continuing with widespread coercive economic shutdowns , the numbers will only keep getting worse .
Many policymakers , unfortunately , continue to pretend that the costs associated with these shutdowns are minimal or insignificant .
Those who speak up against the shutdowns—whether from the perspective of protecting human rights , or simply on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filthy lucre over public health .
The reality , however , is that when unemployment leads to impoverishment or loss of social status , it is itself a major health problem .
This has been evident in research for many years , but since this narrative does not support the myopic and single-minded drive toward “ fighting COVID-19 ” at all costs , many politicians and “ experts ” simply wave these facts aside .
The policymakers continue to pretend that everything will be fine once the politicians unilaterally decide that there has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things are “ under control , ” or whatever arbitrary goal has been set to justify recognizing people ’ s basic human rights to seek employment and run their own businesses .
The Cost of Unemployment : A Survey of the Research According to a 2014 piece in Harvard Public Health magazine , unemployment due to business closures And for men the impacts are often worse : In a study of the effect of economic growth in morbidity in the twentieth century , M. Harvey Brenner writes in the International Journal of Epidemiology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Journal of Health Economics , the authors concluded : The health effects of unemployment also become worse the earlier in the cycle one becomes unemployed .
In a Finnish study on unemployment , Pekka Martikainen found that In other words , those who became unemployed first—i.e.
, in 1990—had higher mortality than those who became jobless in later years .
But the general conclusion was familiar .
Mortality increased sizeably for those who became unemployed : Moreover the long-term effects can be significant .
In a Swedish study on the long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found that For men , the risk of alcohol-related death was more than double what it was for the employed .
The risk was nearly double for women .
The same study also showed that for men who had suffered unemployment , long-term risk of death from suicide was more than 40 percent higher than the employed .
Even the risk of death from “ transport accidents ” became higher following bouts of unemployment .
Even worse , the effects of unemployment tend to be magnified by previous periods of unemployment , since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher among people who have previous experience of unemployment .
This has been referred to as ‘ scarring ’ , ‘ path dependency ’ or ‘ state dependency . '
” This increases the health effects of unemployment among the most economically disadvantaged groups .
Not surprisingly , increased unemployment also increases the risk of death from drug-related causes as well .
In this 2017 study , Studies have now started to be published on our current recession .
Although not directly studying unemployment , a new study of Swiss data on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” ( i.e.
, economic lockdowns ) the authors concluded : In other words , the “ mitigation ” strategies that allegedly save lives are really just shifting the burden from some people onto to others .
In some cases , the lockdowns amount to nearly a decade of lost years thanks to the toll on mental health .
Confronted with the likely costs of their lockdown policies , many will fall back on claiming basic arithmetic can give us the answer .
“ How many deaths are caused by unemployment versus by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the idea that it ’ s up to the defenders of freedom to prove that the number of deaths caused by economic destruction will outnumber the total COVID-19 deaths .
In the minds of the lockdown advocates , if the net number of lives saved by continued lockdown is even a single person , then their policies throwing freedom and the rule of law under the bus are totally justified .
They get it wrong , of course .
The burden of proof is on them .
After all , they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , they are the ones who want to impose fines on nonviolent people who just want to open their shops , or go to work , or sell their labor for wages .
If those people don ’ t comply , the prolockdown position is that these “ disobedient ” people must then be locked in cages or ruined financially through fines , lawsuits , and criminal charges .
The opponents of the lockdowns , on the other hand , only wish to allow people to exercise their freedom .
The burden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to use police powers to coerce others .
Moreover , the truth is that the “ experts ” have no idea how much the lockdowns are even preventing the spread of disease or how employment and economic growth would be affected in the absence of coerced lockdowns .
The lockdown proponents simply don ’ t have enough data to make the case for their position .
They only know they desire to force people to abandon their jobs , abandon their shops , and indefinitely embrace a life on the dole .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Many will overdose on drugs .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--How Long Can Biden Stay In His Basement?

How Long Can Biden Stay In His Basement ?
Where Barack Obama achieved notoriety for “ leading from behind , ” Joe Biden , these last two months , has been leading from the basement .
And , one must add , doing so quite successfully .
Since his rout of Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday , Biden has led President Donald Trump in every national poll and , lately , opened up a lead in Michigan , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania and Florida .
One poll has him tied with Trump in Texas .
Last week , however , reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ himself against the lurid charge of ex-aide Tara Reade that , as a senator in 1993 , he had groped and assaulted her inside the Capitol complex .
Why did Biden go public ?
Because witnesses were coming forward to say Reade told them of Biden ’ s misconduct years ago , and major media outlets began to give the charge credibility by moving the allegation onto Page One .
Media allies were signaling that they could not forever give Biden a pass on this , and he had to speak to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Friday as he told MSNBC ’ s Mika Brzezinski : “ This never happened … and it ’ s as simple as that.
” With that flat denial , Biden put his credibility on the line — in defense of his character .
For one can not equate what Reade claims Biden did with the reputation he has built over half a century as a decent and honorable man .
Biden now has to persuade the nation this woman is deluded , wildly exaggerating , misremembering — or is deliberately lying .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explain how well he knew Reade and why she left a plum job in the office of a U.S. senator after only nine months .
This is not a matter any presidential candidate wants to discuss while conducting his campaign .
But this is only the beginning of Biden ’ s problems — and of his party ’ s problems with Biden .
With four months left before his nomination in Milwaukee , and six months before the November election , there are still among Democrats gnawing concerns based on Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and since , that he has lost the ability to articulate issues clearly and cogently , or to complete complex thoughts .
The worry is that he is suffering from mental decline and could be destroyed by Trump in a presidential debate .
Biden forgets , mumbles , misspeaks , loses his train of thought and appears , at times , confused .
Moreover , Biden is no spring chicken .
He would take office at 78 , one year older than Ronald Reagan , our oldest president , was when he left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by his references to being a “ bridge ” president , that he will be serving only the single term that would end in 2025 with him having celebrated his 82nd birthday .
This makes his vice presidential choice crucial .
For that individual would not only become president instantly should something happen to a President Biden , but he or she would also become the leader of the Democratic Party , the probable presidential nominee in 2024 , and possibly president .
Who will Biden select as America ’ s future leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No white men need apply .
Biden has ruled them out .
Indeed , no male candidate of any race or ethnicity need apply .
The vice presidential nomination has been set aside for a woman .
But here Biden has another problem .
It was a huge turnout among African Americans in South Carolina that rescued Biden ’ s failing candidacy and propelled him to his Super Tuesday triumph three days later .
Should Biden choose Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar as his running mate in a party that celebrates diversity above all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conceivably enrage the political elites of the black and Hispanic communities in the Democratic coalition .
If he chooses Sen. Elizabeth Warren , that ticket would also be all white .
Moreover , it would point to a Democratic Party future far to the left of the constituencies that turned out in panic for Joe Biden because he was the last man standing athwart the forced march to the left of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders .
If Biden chooses an African American like Stacey Abrams , who lost the Georgia governor ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harris , who did poorly in the primaries and savaged Biden for his opposing forced busing to integrate public schools in the 1970s , would Democrats welcome either as the party ’ s designated future leader ?
Michelle Obama , as Biden wistfully says , would fit the bill perfectly .
But the former first lady is unavailable .
And while Biden is mulling over his choice in his basement , Republicans will be attacking his character , credibility and mental competence .
Before the fall campaign begins , they will have soiled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show us our own democracy at its worst .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Knock, Knock. We’re From The Government & We Want Your Family’s Blood

Knock , Knock .
We ’ re From The Government & We Want Your Family ’ s Blood Adam Dick The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity May 6 , 2020 The Georgia Department of Public Health has announced that it , the United Sates Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) , and county health boards are together sending teams of government agents to randomly selected homes in two Georgia counties .
These teams of government agents are charged with asking questions , including about household members ’ health , and extracting blood from all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason given for the home visits is — you may have guessed it — coronavirus .
J. Scott Trubey writes at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the government agencies are seeking the blood to test for “ antibodies to the novel coronavirus to pinpoint who might have had COVID-19 and estimate how widely the virus has traveled.
” People who live at the 420 randomly selected homes are free , Trubey writes , to refuse the questioning and blood drawing by the government inquisition and phlebotomy teams that show up at their front doors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often find it hard to muster the courage to say “ no ” to government agents who accost them in person “ asking ” them to comply .
People are intimidated .
They think that even if they say “ no ” the requested action will still be taken anyway plus they will suffer additional consequences for resisting .
That aids police efforts both to get people to say incriminating things and to obtain “ permission ” to search people and property , even from people who know evidence of a crime is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report by Dakin Andone shows that the government teams knocking on doors are employing some of the look of cops in their effort to obtain maximum voluntary compliance .
Uniforms , government badges , official letters are all part of the process , just like when cops show up for a home search holding a warrant .
Andone writes : Plus , the goal of the people running the program is that the maximum number of people comply .
Andone quotes Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Kathleen Toomey putting it this way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Cheryl Chumley discusses in detail the disturbing nature of the knock-and-draw-blood program .
And she points out that a government that really was seeking volunteers , instead of seeking to pressure people to comply , would act differently .
Chumley writes : Government officials could just as easily put out a notification in the mailbox , or online , or via social media , or over the television and radio airwaves , asking for citizen volunteers to come down to the local health department clinics and donate blood for the purposes of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helping the “ investigation ” into the spread of the virus .
Seeking volunteers through those methods puts the control in the hands of the citizens ; those ways make clear the blood offerings are completely voluntary .
This looks like a program that could expand countrywide .
In fact , it fits in well with moving into a forced vaccinations and “ digital certificates ” next phase of the coronavirus crackdown .
Doing a test run in Georgia makes sense because the CDC headquarters is there .
So what ’ s your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your and your family ’ s blood ?
The government inquisition and phlebotomy teams are acting much like cops , seeking to pressure people into providing private information and even their blood .
A generally sound course of action with cops is not to talk to them and not to give them permission to do anything .
The same course of action can be employed when confronted by these new door-to-door blood suckers .

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Video: Senator Cotton Says China Should Provide Evidence To Disprove Coronavirus Lab Leak

Video : Senator Cotton Says China Should Provide Evidence To Disprove Coronavirus Lab Leak “ If the Chinese Communist Party has evidence to the contrary , they need to bring it forward to the world ” Senator Tom Cotton said Tuesday that the onus is on China to produce evidence that will dispute the global intelligence assessment that there is a high possibility that the coronavirus could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
Appearing on Fox News , Cotton said “ all of the evidence — albeit circumstantial — points directly at those labs.
” “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they research coronaviruses , that they have a history of bad safety practices , that the original person infected with the virus had no contact with the [ seafood ] market — all of that is circumstantial evidence to be sure , ” cotton conceded .
“ But , in intelligence questions , we rarely get direct or conclusive evidence , ” he added .
“ And , if the Chinese Communist Party has evidence to the contrary , they need to bring it forward to the world , ” he asserted .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus was genetically modified or engineered is a highly technical scientific question .
And , the weight of scientific opinion right now , [ says ] that , ’ No , this was a naturally occurring virus.
’ But , a naturally occurring virus can , of course , be present in a laboratory where it ’ s being studied.
” “ That is a different question from saying that laboratory may have had bad safety practices and there could have been an accidental breach which was the original source of what has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained .
Cotton has been pushing for a robust investigation into China ’ s culpability from the beginning of the outbreak .
The Senator has slammed the communist Chinese government , describing its actions as “ deliberately malevolent ” when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic .
He has also suggested that Chinese students should not be allowed to study sciences within the US until the country has been properly held accountable .
Meanwhile , China ’ s UK ambassador has slammed Britain and President Donald Trump for “ poisoning ” their relationship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lab leak theory , Liu Xiaoming said “ such talks are a political virus .
If they go unchecked they ’ ll poison UK-China relations and even international solidarity ” .

Scientist Whose Doomsday Models Sparked Global Lockdown Resigns After Breaking Quarantine To Bang Married Lover Professor Neil Ferguson – whose dire coronavirus predictions prompted worldwide lockdown measures still in place – broke his own advice on the need for strict social distancing to hook up with his married lover , according to the Telegraph .
On at least two occasions , Antonia Staats , 38 , travelled across London from her home in the south of the capital to spend time with the Government scientist , nicknamed Professor Lockdown .
The 51-year-old had only just finished a two-week spell self-isolating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ferguson told the Telegraph : “ I accept I made an error of judgment and took the wrong course of action .
I have therefore stepped back from my involvement in Sage [ the government ’ s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ] .
–Telegraph “ I acted in the belief that I was immune , having tested positive for coronavirus , and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms , ” he said , adding “ I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epidemic .
The Government guidance is unequivocal , and is there to protect all of us.
” Ferguson , who resigned from his Government advisory position on Tuesday , predicted that up to 500,000 Britons and 2.2 million in the US would die without measures .
Somehow , Sweden – which enacted virtually no measures to mitigate the virus .
has a lower per-capita mortality rate than the UK , Italy , Spain , France , Belgium and the Netherlands – all of which enacted lockdown measures .
And while his computer models @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the team at Imperial College London , has frequently appeared on media to support the lockdown and “ very intensive social distancing ” measures .
Of note , Ferguson and Staats hooked up on March 30 – the same day he gave a public warning that the one-week-old lockdown measures would need to remain in place until June .
Staats – a left-wing campaigner , visited again on April 8 , despite telling friends that she thought her husband might have come down with coronavirus .
She and her husband live together with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home , but are understood to be in an open marriage .
She has told friends about her relationship with Prof Ferguson , but does not believe their actions to be hypocritical because she considers the households to be one .
But one week before the first tryst , Dr Jenny Harries , the deputy chief medical officer , and Matt Hancock , the Health Secretary , clarified during the daily Downing Street press conference that couples not living together must stay apart during lockdown .
–Telegraph “ He has peculiarly breached his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man I find that very hard to believe .
It risks undermining the Government ’ s lockdown message , ” said Sir .
Iain Duncan Smith .
Meanwhile , over 9,000 fines have been issued to quarantine violators in England and Wales during the lockdown – while Scotland ’ s chief medical officer , Dr. Catherine Calderwood , made two trips to her second home during the lockdown , resulting in her resignation .

” Baker has recently served as the executive director of the Center for Vaccine Awareness and Research at Texas Children ’ s Hospital .
Baker was honored in Washington , D.C. with the Sabin Vaccine Institute ’ s 2019 Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal at a ceremony “ made possible in part by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pfizer.

prisonplanet--2020-05-06--Professor Lockdown’s Mistress is a Pro-Greta Virtue Signaling Lefty

And by no coincidence also a massive hypocrite .
The married woman who violated the UK ’ s lockdown law to have an illicit affair with the professor responsible for advising the country to go into lockdown is a pro-Greta Thunberg virtue signaling left-wing activist .
Last night it was revealed that government adviser Prof Neil Ferguson , whose warning that 500,000 Brits could die of COVID-19 unless a lockdown was imposed became the basis for government policy , personally violated this lockdown numerous times .
He did so in order to have sex with 38-year-old married mother of two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to visit Ferguson on several occasions .
In a March podcast uploaded within 24 hours of one of the visits , Staats complained that the lockdown was putting a strain on her marriage .
It subsequently emerged that Staats is a hard-left activist who previously campaigned against leaving the EU , supported Greta Thunberg ’ s climate strike and delivered a petition to 10 Downing Street calling on the government to end fossil fuel subsidies .
Professor Ferguson himself also shared many of Staats left-wing beliefs .
“ The reason for looking into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experts who ’ ve been advising governments across the world during this crisis is that it may throw some light on why those governments have made such poor policy decisions , ” writes Toby Young .
“ Will the vast majority of those advisers turn out to be left-of-centre , like Professor Ferguson ?
I ’ m 99 % sure of it , and I think that will help us to understand what ’ s happened.
” This whole farce once again proves that the most vehement virtue signalers , who are almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be the biggest flagrant hypocrites .

prisonplanet--2020-05-07--Professor: Economic Impact of Lockdown Will Cause More Deaths than Coronavirus

Professor : Economic Impact of Lockdown Will Cause More Deaths than Coronavirus “ A bad economy will hurt and kill people in the future.
” Peter Nilsson , a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at Lund University , warns that the economic devastation caused by lockdowns will cause more deaths than the coronavirus itself .
Nilsson was commenting on Sweden ’ s approach to coronavirus , which unlike virtually every other western country in the world didn ’ t impose a lockdown to fight COVID-19 .
The tactic appears to have worked , with Sweden ’ s ‘ R @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same as the UK ’ s , a country which did impose a lockdown .
The country also now has much more widespread herd immunity and didn ’ t sacrifice its economy , meaning deaths from poverty will be reduced .
Opining that he thinks this will “ prove to be a good strategy in the long run , ” Professor Nilsson said the approach had succeeded in preventing a spike in unemployment .
“ It ’ s so important to understand that the deaths of COVID-19 will be far less than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy is ruined , ” said Nilsson .
“ Why ?
Because of unemployment and all the social problems with it .
A bad economy will hurt and kill people in the future.
” Mikael Rostila , professor at the Department of Public Health Sciences at the Stockholm University , echoed Nilsson ’ s sentiments in arguing that Sweden is now in a much better position than other countries .
“ Sweden could reach heard immunity earlier than other countries which means that the spread of the virus and the number of deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population will be immune , ” said Rostila .
“ Other countries that start to reopen now may experience a second wave of the virus .
So it might be that they have just postponed a severe outbreak.
” As we previously highlighted , a data analyst consortium in South Africa found that the economic consequences of the country ’ s lockdown will lead to 29 times more people dying than the coronavirus itself .

Biological warfare and vaccine experts have been targets for at least a decade Belgian intelligence officials have accused China of espionage targeting the county ’ s biological warfare and vaccine experts .

Pointless Celebrities Call For World To ‘Not Return To Normal’;  ‘Radical Transformation’ Of Economies

Pointless Celebrities Call For World To ‘ Not Return To Normal ’ ; ‘ Radical Transformation ’ Of Economies Idiot millionaires like Madonna and Robert De Niro call for end to ‘ the pursuit of consumerism ’ in wake of coronavirus Millionaire celebrities , who still do not seem to realise that the world does not revolve around them , have rallied behind a call to ‘ end consumerism ’ and not to allow the world to go back to how it was before the virus outbreak .
Over 200 famous people have signed a ‘ plea ’ titled Please @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to normal , that calls for ‘ radical transformation ’ of economies and for humanity to ‘ examine what is essential ’ .
Those who have added their names to the proposal include Madonna , Robert de Niro , Cate Blanchett , Jane Fonda , Marion Cotillard and Monica Bellucci .
Of course , most of these vacuous pointless idiots would not have the wealth , or the platform they are now using to lecture everyday people if they followed their own advice .
“ We believe it is unthinkable to “ go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notes , adding “ Adjustments are not enough .
The problem is systemic.
” “ The ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis .
Unlike a pandemic… a global ecological collapse will have immeasurable consequences , ” it continues .
The celebs have found time to get behind the campaign between constantly tweeting out videos of themselves complaining about being ‘ imprisoned ’ in their luxurious properties .
“ The pursuit of consumerism and an obsession with productivity have led us to deny the value of life itself : that of plants , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great number of human beings , ” the letter also states .
Will these people follow their own decrees ?
Or Will they continue to rake in millions every month , jetting around the globe , living between multiple mansions , while pointing the finger at the rest of the planet and declaring that it is our “ consumerism ” and excessive lifestyles that have “ brought the world to a breaking point.
” “ We must act now .
It is as much a matter of survival as of dignity and coherence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These people never knew what ‘ normal ’ was .
