Pharmacist Of 43 Years : CDC Says COVID More Deadly Than Flu – “ I Believe We ’ re Being Played ” – Here ’ s Why So , a man who has been a pharmacist for 43 years and owned a pharmacy for 30 years says there is “ something very strange going on with this Covid thing.

He also stated he believes we ’ re being played and why .
The pharmacist goes by Harvey Staub on Twitter .
Here ’ s the threat he presented earlier this week .
1 ) Covid 19 .
There ’ s something very strange going on with this Covid thing .
I ’ ve been a Pharmacist for 43 years , 30 years as an owner .
It ’ s December 12 , 2020 , well into the “ flu season ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tamiflu this season whatsoever .
Tamiflu generic is the most prescribed medication for the flu , once you ’ re diagnosed having the flu .
Extremely effective .
I asked my friend Mike , who works as a salesman for a major national wholesaler .
3 ) …how much tamiflu and generic has he sold to Pharmacies this season .
He hasn ’ t sold any .
He has 75 accounts of independent pharmacies across the United States .
4 ) Conclusion : By now , it ’ s well known that Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these false positives are actually “ the flu ” ?
How many are just “ the common cold ” ?
Why does the CDC report daily case numbers & deaths for Covid and not for the flu ?
… 5 ) CDC says Covid is more deadly than the flu .
Well , if you ’ re potentially taking a large number of flu cases and bundling them into the Covid numbers , then yes , the perception is that it ’ s more deadly .
… 6 ) I believe we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid is real , it can be deadly .
We now have drug regimens to treat Covid effectively , one being Dr. Zev Zelenko ’ s @ zev_dr regimen , among others .
I believe the Covid numbers are being skewed upward , on purpose… 7 ) …to continue instilling fear and panic into people , for governments to continue with lockdowns , for more small businesses to be put out , for more people to kill themselves , or others ; for more & more social upheaval .
Why ?
Total population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If we are so obedient to wear masks , obedient to stand here , don ’ t stand there , obedient to get the Covid vaccine , obedient to carry proof you ’ ve gotten the vaccine ; otherwise , you won ’ t be able to fly ; then it will be buses , trains , taxis , Uber ’ s , Target , Walmart , grocery stores… 9 ) ….everything .
Just like that .
You ’ re giving up your freedoms to a virus that has a 99.4 % survival @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And the vaccine ?
Like I ’ ve told my customers all these years ; don ’ t be the first on your block to try anything new .
… 10 ) They really don ’ t know what they ’ ll find out in 6 months , a year , 5 years & longer , that can be attributed to the vaccine .

Pharmacist Of 43 Years: CDC Says COVID More Deadly Than Flu – “I Believe We’re Being Played” – Here’s Why
So, a man who has been a pharmacist for 43 years and owned a pharmacy for 30 years says there is “something very strange going on with this Covid thing.” He points out that while we are well into the flu season, he hasn’t dispensed any generic Tamiflu at all, and a friend of his who is with a national wholesaler with 75 accounts hasn’t sold any to any pharmacies. Yeah, I’d say that is very strange. He also stated he believes we’re being played and why.
The pharmacist goes by Harvey Staub on Twitter. Here’s the threat he presented earlier this week.
1) Covid 19. There’s something very strange going on with this Covid thing. I’ve been a Pharmacist for 43 years, 30 years as an owner. It’s December 12, 2020, well into the “flu season”

2) I have not dispensed any Tamiflu this season whatsoever. Tamiflu generic is the most prescribed medication for the flu, once you’re diagnosed having the flu. Extremely effective. I asked my friend Mike, who works as a salesman for a major national wholesaler.

4) Conclusion: By now, it’s well known that Covid tests give false positives. How many of these false positives are actually “the flu”? How many are just “the common cold”? Why does the CDC report daily case numbers & deaths for Covid and not for the flu? …
https://twitter.com/HarveyStaub1/status/1337947951218438145
5) CDC says Covid is more deadly than the flu. Well, if you’re potentially taking a large number of flu cases and bundling them into the Covid numbers, then yes, the perception is that it’s more deadly. …

Others seemed to confirmed the tweets in their area.
We are checking and have been checking for covid and both Influenzas since September. To date I can confirm in intensive care in Toronto at a major hospital we have had not a single positive case of influenza — L W (@BigmammaTO) December 13, 2020
There’s definitely a control mechanism to this but I think one commenter hit on the other aspect of all of this.
Covid diagnosis brings in big money to these hospitals, trillions have been stolen since last March. — Mike O'Brien- Secretary of Kraken- DR FRANKENSHOTS (@MikeOBrien222) December 13, 2020
Finally, just keep in mind a little history of influenza in the first place. Arthur Firstenberg’s “The Invisible Rainbow” recounts quite a bit of history concerning electricity, radio waves and radiation effects upon the human body. One man wrote, based on Firstenberg’s book, how this narrative of explanation of viruses and flu has evolved.
The word “influenza” originated in Italy. The first record of this strange and inexplicable illness occurred around the year 1580. As the phenomenon recurred, acute observers recognised that it tended to ‘pop up’ simultaneously in multiple locations, sometimes on multiple continents. In an effort to explain this cognitively dissonant fact, Italian ‘scientists’ examined sun-spot records and noticed that outbreaks always seemed to coincide with peaks of sun-spot activity.
They understood that when the sun’s surface (or CORONA) was most active, there were mass-ejections from the sun that manifested as spectacular displays of the Aurora Borealis in northern climes and that there were also magnetic effects (or magnetic ‘waves’) from the sun that struck the earth with uncommon intensity at these times.
Thus the word “INFLUENZA became the name of this illness. “Influenza” being short for “Influenza delle stelle” … INFLUENCE OF THE STARS.
So, by the early 1600s European scientists had worked out that the cause of the illness now known as ‘influenza’ was the effect of unusual magnetic waves impacting the human body.
This “flu” narrative was accepted throughout the 1700s and 1800s. There were multiple references to the illnesses brought on by the proliferation of telegraph communications and the installation of AC power grids in US cities. Some of the reported effects were very serious for the persons involved, listlessness, loss of energy, depression, headaches and much more*.
The ‘electric/magnetic’ causation narrative continued as a model for explaining ‘flu’ symptoms right up until about 1920 and the global catastrophe of 1918/19 that was ‘The Spanish Flu’.
THE SPANISH FLU
Again, this illness spread so fast that scientists could not explain the rate of contagion by human-to-human transfer of particles but it was the SECOND WAVE of Spanish Flu that killed tens of millions of people right across the world.
The US Surgeon General ordered a series of investigations into the nature of this disastrous contagion. One such series of experiments were conducted using 100 healthy volunteers from the US Navy by bringing them into close, controlled contact with patients suffering from the illness. A number of tests were repeatedly performed. Blood was extracted from the sick and injected into the volunteers. Patients spat into trays and the uninfected drank their sputum. Patients sneezed and coughed while volunteers, nose-to-nose, inhaled the droplets ejected as deeply as they could.
Doctors found, to the amazement of many, that NONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS GOT SICK.
This ‘Influenza’ COULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
IT WAS NOT CONTAGIOUS.
Many scientists and thinkers of the day, such as Rudolf Steiner, declared that the apparent “contagion” was the result of simultaneous exposure to the new RADIO WAVES (electro-magnetic frequencies) that were being broadcast for the first time across almost the entire world.
Given that 50 million died, ELECTRICITY AS POTENTIAL CAUSE OF DEATH was not an idea that our finance rulers could allow the public at large to believe. This awareness was excluded from the public domain and the false ‘virus’ narrative was invented to explain ‘the flu’.
If the public had been allowed to think that electrical installations and the radiation thereof might KILL them, then the entire 20th Century couldn’t have happened. All plans for development, industrialisation and corporate profits involved electricity. The establishment needed another story.
They got it. The ‘virus’ narrative exactly mirrors the ‘new EMF’ narrative of causation of influenza.
A virus keeps mutating. Our bodies adjust to the old virus/emf frequency and we are then OK until a new mutation/new frequency comes along.
I’m firmly we are being played, but that it’s been going on for quite some time (Revelation 18:23).

Commentary by Adriana Cohen
We’re “all in this together,” or so we were told at the outset of the pandemic 10 months ago.
This once-comforting notion has quickly morphed into survival of the fittest given the stringent government restrictions and crushing lockdowns that have violated our collective freedoms and destroyed the livelihoods of millions of Americans.
Today, nearly 19 million Americans are out of work while 880,000 of our friends, neighbors and family members filed for unemployment for the first time last week — the highest since early September — reported the Labor Department on Thursday.
But that’s not all. “17% of restaurants — more than 110,000 establishments — are completely closed,” the National Restaurant Association reported this month. In just the past three months 10,000 restaurants have shut their doors, a staggering number that doesn’t even factor cities such as Los Angeles and New York, which subsequently announced the closure of indoor and/or outdoor dining, further decimating this small business sector.

Restaurants are just one industry being hammered by the ever-changing rules and restrictions imposed by heavy-handed government officials, most of whom have never run a business. If you stroll down any Main Street, USA, you’ll see boarded-up windows of countless mom and pop shops that have gone bust at the hands of Draconian regulations imposed by elected officials who don’t impose the same “rules” on big corporations — or themselves.
For example, restaurants have been forced to cut dining capacity to 30% — or close indoor/outdoor dining altogether — in cities across America to #StopTheSpread while airlines can operate flights at full occupancy with no social distancing mandates. Where’s the scientific evidence that shows the highly contagious coronavirus doesn’t spread on crowded public transit systems like subways, buses or Amtrak, but transmits at your local sandwich shop, gym or place of worship?
Or what about airplanes where the stranger sitting right next to you is permitted to take off his/her mask to eat and drink throughout the flight, and that’s A-OK per officials, but tables at restaurants must be spaced at least six feet apart?
And let’s not forget all the patrons being forced to eat outside in sub-freezing New England temperatures, while Democratic Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo was photographed sipping wine indoors at a wine and paint event in Providence this week. This, mind you, was after she urged Rhode Island residents to avoid all nonessential activities amid the pandemic. You’ll also recall California Governor Gavin Newsom and other Democratic officials not living by their own mandates when dining with a large group and members of other households at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley.
That’s just a smidgen of the glaring inconsistencies and double standards that not only violate our freedoms, but also illustrate how powerful elites are handpicking “winners and losers” in the economy. Power-hungry governors, mayors and other government officials throughout the country are taking home paychecks while shutting down small businesses and restricting millions of workers from earning a living and providing for their families.
If that’s not the definition of income inequality, then what is?
As you can see, we’re not all “in this together.” We’re operating under a grossly unfair and unethical system where almighty government officials don’t suffer any financial hardship during the pandemic while taxpayers — who fund their salaries — get kicked in the shins.
If this is acceptable to you, please locate your spine.
Luckily, there’s a solution: Voters must demand that elected officials forfeit their own paychecks when any business is shuttered under their mandate. For example, if a business is shut down restricting Americans from earning a living for three weeks, then the official must forfeit their salary for the same duration. If a lockdown extends, so does the official’s pay freeze.
That will level the economic playing field eliminating a two-tiered system of “haves” and “have-nots.”
It will also restore the noble concept that we’re all in this together.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-21--More Debt, More Money Printing: Congress Approves $900 Billion Bill to Provide Relief for Those Suff

More Debt, More Money Printing: Congress Approves $900 Billion Bill to Provide Relief for Those Suffering From Liberal Lockdown Lunacy

Congress reached a deal Sunday on a roughly $ 900 billion coronavirus relief package , including a new round of $ 600 stimulus checks for most Americans .
“ More help is on the way , ” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky ) said on the Senate floor , announcing the breakthrough .
Lawmakers only have to “ promptly finalize text ” and “ avoid any last-minute obstacles ” on the bill , McConnell said .
Both chambers of Congress are expected to vote on the package on Monday .
The massive pact will include temporary supplemental payments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployment , plus direct $ 600 stimulus checks to Americans with yearly incomes of up to $ 75,000 .
Under the $ 2.2 trillion CARES Act passed in March , eligible Americans received one-time $ 1,200 checks .
Also included is more than $ 284 billion for businesses decimated by the economic downturn and the revival of the Payment Protection Program , according to The New York Times .
The PPP program was a popular component of the CARES Act , acting as an essential lifeline for businesses struggling amid the pandemic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 82 billion for colleges and schools , $ 25 billion in rental assistance , the extension of the eviction moratorium , and funds for COVID-19 vaccine distribution , according to The Times .
Also included are subsidies for businesses decimated by the economic downturn , plus funds for schools , health-care providers and renters facing eviction .
Leading Democratic lawmakers heralded news of the deal following the announcement by McConnell .
“ Today , we have reached agreement with Republicans and the White House on an emergency coronavirus relief and omnibus package @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lives and livelihoods of the American people as the virus accelerates , ” said Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer , of New York , and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , of California , in a joint statement .
“ We are going to crush the virus and put money in the pockets of the American people.
” The legislation comes as the death toll from COVID-19 in the US approaches 317,000 and the economy is still reeling from the effects of the coronavirus downturn .
After a long-running series of aborted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relief package , Schumer and Sen. Pat Toomey ( R-Pa. ) worked past one of the final stumbling blocks to a deal late Saturday .
Toomey sought to bar the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department from restarting emergency lending efforts to corporate , municipal and medium-sized businesses .
Toomey said Sunday that lawmakers were still finalizing the language on the issue , but made it clear he would support the relief effort .
Earlier Sunday , President Trump tweeted that Congress must “ GET IT DONE .
”

That’ll stuff a lot of stockings!

Under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed in March, eligible Americans received one-time $1,200 checks.
Also included is more than $284 billion for businesses decimated by the economic downturn and the revival of the Payment Protection Program, according to The New York Times.
The PPP program was a popular component of the CARES Act, acting as an essential lifeline for businesses struggling amid the pandemic.
The new measure is expected to provide $82 billion for colleges and schools, $25 billion in rental assistance, the extension of the eviction moratorium, and funds for COVID-19 vaccine distribution, according to The Times.
Also included are subsidies for businesses decimated by the economic downturn, plus funds for schools, health-care providers and renters facing eviction.
Leading Democratic lawmakers heralded news of the deal following the announcement by McConnell.
“Today, we have reached agreement with Republicans and the White House on an emergency coronavirus relief and omnibus package that delivers urgently needed funds to save the lives and livelihoods of the American people as the virus accelerates,” said Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, of New York, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, in a joint statement.
“We are going to crush the virus and put money in the pockets of the American people.”
The legislation comes as the death toll from COVID-19 in the US approaches 317,000 and the economy is still reeling from the effects of the coronavirus downturn.
After a long-running series of aborted starts on a follow-up to the March relief package, Schumer and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) worked past one of the final stumbling blocks to a deal late Saturday.
Toomey sought to bar the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department from restarting emergency lending efforts to corporate, municipal and medium-sized businesses.
Toomey said Sunday that lawmakers were still finalizing the language on the issue, but made it clear he would support the relief effort.
Earlier Sunday, President Trump tweeted that Congress must “GET IT DONE.”

KING COUNTY, Wash. — The owners of Salmon Creek Cafe said that before they could use their new outdoor dining tents to serve customers during the ongoing pandemic, the shelters were ripped from the ground and stolen earlier this week.
The theft occurred in the cafe parking lot located beside Ambaum Blvd SW.
“We came in Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m. and the tents were gone,” said E.J. Kim, who owns the cafe with her husband, Douglas Gundlach. “Just, gone,” she said. The theft was not captured on surveillance video.
Kim said they applied and received a permit from the city of Burien to install the tents, a financial lifeline for the restaurant during the state’s current temporary ban on indoor dinning.
“With the tents, we were hoping to get back to like that 70-to-80%,” said a frustrated Douglas. “Just down. Down about it all.”
The restaurant remains open for to-go orders and deliveries. The owners said the tents would have allowed them to serve more than a dozen customers in their parking lot. The shelters were anchored to the ground with spikes.
Last month, the couple said they were close to shutting down amid a slump in sales.
“We let two employees go,” Kim said. “Really thinking, ‘Can we continue to stay open?’”
Salmon Creek Cafe then received a lifeline from social media and a new stream of customers eager to help keep the doors open without indoor dining. Loyal regulars also pitched in.
“We can lend you the patio heaters if you need heaters,” Kim said, describing the support they received from customers. “So it was a lot of the community wanting to keep the cafe going.”
Kim and Douglas are banking on continued community support to see them through this latest setback. The couple said there are no plans to replace the stolen tents.
“We can’t afford to set it up again,” Kim said. “That’s impossible.”

We, the undersigned religious organizations and ministries, urge you to refuse to enforce the so-called Virginia Values Act in a way that would force Virginians of faith to violate their consciences.

The Virginia Constitution guarantees that such religious beliefs “can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force.” But if the Commonwealth insists on forcing us to choose between bankruptcy and our beliefs, our communities will suffer as we shutter our doors. Freedom will suffer, too, if the “Virginia Values Act” is used as a weapon against our organizations and our values. Tolerance and respect for good‐faith differences are essential in a diverse society. We urge you to extend the same freedom to us that all Virginians are entitled to.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-21--Flashback: Have the Chi-Coms Compromised Every Major Fake News Media Outlet?

It seems a number of major US media outlets have financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party , and it shows in their coverage .
Despite the Chinese Communist Party ’ s ( CCP ) record of oppression , corporate media outlets are parroting the authoritarian government ’ s propaganda , even in the midst of an outbreak the CCP worsened through a cover-up .
Many of those media outlets have financial ties to Chinese companies with intense oversight from the CCP .
“ You often see representatives from American companies with financial ties to China naturally become defenders of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the CCP ’ s propaganda , ” said Helen Raleigh , an author and senior contributor at The Federalist who emigrated from China .
“ The financial tie means these Americans will be much less likely to challenge China ’ s human rights record or unacceptable demand such as technology transfer.
” We do not know the extent of editorial oversight from corporations and individuals with financial incentives to placate the CCP , if any .
But we know the incentives exist , and that ’ s worth understanding .
Below is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media organizations and the CCP .
Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim owns 17.4 percent of The New York Times through the company ’ s Class A shares .
As the largest shareholder , his investment allows him to vote for approximately one-third of the company ’ s board .
In 2009 , Slim loaned $ 250 million to The New York Times Company , the parent company of the New York Times .
That same year , Slim purchased 15.9 million Class A shares of the company .
Slim has regularly conducted business with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CCP .
In 2017 , Slim ’ s Giant Motors joined ventures with China ’ s JAC Motors and began manufacturing cars in Mexico to sell in the Latin America Market .
According to Forbes , the goal of selling to Latin America was to circumvent the Trump administration ’ s trade policies aimed at protecting American jobs — a move that benefited the Beijing in the Chinese-American trade wars .
According to Bloomberg Law , Slim ’ s company America Movil is teaming up with CCP telecommunication giant Huawei Technologies to pitch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government this year .
Huawei is actively working to undermine American security interests by overturning legislation in the United States that bans the use of Huawei ’ s 5G network .
“ Huawei seeks to overturn U.S. legislation that prohibits our federal government from using its equipment .
This is a blatant attempt by an allegedly vital cog in the Chinese Communist Party ’ s ( CCP ) intelligence apparatus to avail itself of rights China would never confer on U.S. corporations––let alone its own citizens––in a bid to thwart America ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Federalist ’ s Ben Weingarten .
Slim is making all kinds of lucrative business deals with the Chinese government while influencing the buiness side of The New York Times .
He may not sit in on editorial meetings , but all the paper ’ s leaders certainly know who is funding their salaries .
In 2013 , Amazon CEO and billionaire Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post for $ 250 million cash .
In January 2016 , Bezos laid out a new business plan for the Post aimed at incorporating more technology .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ business market , which is regulated by the CCP .
The production of Amazon ’ s most popular products—including the Amazon Echo and Kindle e-reader— take place almost exclusively in Chinese factories .
According to Newsweek , Amazon ’ s products are produced by Chinese laborers who work long hours with low pay and little safety training .
Bezos has long tried to expand Amazon in the Chinese market as well , saying “ Amazon is well-positioned to serve [ China . ]
” Bezos also backed a treaty between the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business with China and provided a framework for U.S. tech companies to invest more in the Chinese economy .
After years of business in the Chinese market , Bezo ’ s ties with China are now evident in the Washington Post ’ s “ advertisement ” section .
When you purchase a Washington Post subscription , it comes with an advertising supplement called “ China Watch.
” According to Mark Hemingway at The Federalist , the Post ’ s “ China Watch ” supplement is courtesy of China Daily , a Chinese state-run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accepts money for advertisements from the CCP and distributes Chinese propaganda .
CNN is owned and operated by WarnerMedia , which has significant financial and institutional ties to the CCP .
In June 2013 , WarnerMedia announced it had forged a partnership with a Chinese investment fund to the tune of $ 50 million .
The funding would directly invest in the China Media Capital ( CMC ) , a media company with oversight from the CCP , meaning it is subject to censorship and other demands to push Chinese propaganda .
WarnerMedia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their economic and cinematic ventures .
“ Increasing our global presence is one of Time Warner ’ s strategic priorities and China is one of the most attractive territories in which we operate , but it ’ s complex .
This alliance will give all our businesses a savvy and accomplished partner , ” said WarnerMedia Chairman and Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes .
According to Raleigh , when American companies work with organizations such as CMC , they are subject to China ’ s use of its laws to advance its global objectives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This includes forced technology transfers , leaving companies and data subject to random searches from the CCP .
Companies are also forced to build data centers in China , where the CCP can observe the data directly .
All of this poses a national security risk for the United States .
CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker also has a connection with China .
According to CNN , Zucker works internally with Turner Sports and is responsible for programming acquisitions , production , marketing , league relations , and sports advertisement sales .
Turner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broadcast games in China , meaning Zucker has ample business in the Middle Kingdom , where American businessmen seek to keep the CCP happy so the money keeps rolling .
A Fox News “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” clip shows CNN singing praise for China over the coronavirus pandemic .
In the clip , CNN anchors praise China for sending ventilators and masks to Europe while blaming the Trump administration for alleged poor leadership over the pandemic — the pandemic China allowed to spread worldwide .
Last week , CNN published a story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control.
” The Federalist ’ s Kylee Zempel writes that CNN is “ parroting Chinese media ’ s duplicitous claims that the country sufficiently control of the virus , while downplaying the CCP ’ s role in spreading COVID-19 to the rest of the world.
” Both MSNBC and NBC News are operated by NBC Universal , a company with extensive financial ties to the CCP .
In November 2010 , NBC signed an agreement with China ’ s state-run media organization , Xinhua , to establish a business cooperation in international broadcast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expansion by the CCP into American media .
Since the signing of the business deal , the U.S. State Department identified Xinhua and five other Chinese state-run media organizations as “ foreign missions.
” They have been identified as direct CCP operations and do not function as independent news outlets .
In 2015 , NBC Universal agreed to license the Chinese tech company Baidu ’ s new video network platform iQIYI , which is listed on the NASDAQ and , thanks to NBC , advertises in Times Square in New York City .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ group with financial and technological oversight from the CCP—acquired full ownership of NBC Universal ’ s Oriental DreamWorks , according to the Hollywood Reporter .
NBC Universal gained a 45 percent stake for a steep $ 3.8 billion .
The most obvious business ties between the American Broadcast Company ( ABC ) and China are through their ventures with Walt Disney and ESPN .
Both companies have deep-rooted financial stakes in the Chinese economy controlled by the CCP .
In November 2009 , the Chinese government approved plans to create a Disney World @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost approximately $ 3.6 trillion , with financial help from several large Chinese state-owned enterprises .
After construction was completed , Disney only retained 43 percent of the property , while the Communist Party-controlled Shanghai Shendi Group took the remaining 57 percent .
ESPN , another entity of ABC , was caught doing the bidding of the Chinese government in October 2019 .
When the NBA controversially refused to denounce the CCP for financial benefit , ESPN stood with the NBA to keep financial revenue on track for the 2019 fiscal year .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ profit motives when the network ’ s senior news director reportedly instructed staff to avoid discussing Chinese politics if they were asked about Chinese politics or Daryl Morey ’ s pro-Hong Kong tweet .
According to Raleigh , American companies establish these financial ties with Chinese companies to gain access to China ’ s massive consumer market of 1.4 billion people .
ABC subsidiaries such as ESPN and ABC News need to appease the CCP , whether it be via positive news coverage or complying with cyber security laws , to keep their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money in the Chinese market .
Per Emily Jashinsky at The Federalist , ABC ’ s cozy relationship with China also translates to the way China is portrayed in the American box office .
This is best exemplified by Disney ’ s relatively new release of “ Mulan.
” To maintain access to the Chinese market , where profits are huge , American film companies like Disney censor their work , before or after production , to appease the CCP .
Sen. Ted Cruz , R-Texas , introduced legislation which cuts off Department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studio that allows China to censor their content .
The bill is called the “ Stopping Censorship , Restoring Integrity , Protecting Talkies , ” Act .
Hollywood films commonly work with the Pentagon and Defense Department to use American assets for props such as jets , tanks , and naval bases .
Cruz ’ s SCRIPT legislation would only allow the Defense Department to contract with companies that do not allow China to censor their content .
These same organizations work directly with ABC News abroad .
According to veteran ABC correspondent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are inextricably linked .
In an investigative report by Project Veritas , Wright admitted ABC was a profit center , not a beacon of truthful journalism .
“ [ ABC ] became a profit center , a promotion center .
Like now , you can ’ t watch ‘ Good Morning America ’ without there being a Disney princess or a Marvel Avenger appearing .
It ’ s all self-promotional and promotion of the company , ” Wright said .
What benefits ABC ’ s company is bending a knee to the CCP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the price it puts on journalist ’ s ability to report truth and hold those in power to account .
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his company Bloomberg LP are heavily invested in China .
Bloomberg LP sells terminals to their website through the Chinese market and helps finance Chinese companies by sending billions of dollars from U.S. investors to the Chinese bond market .
Bloomberg LP supported 364 Chinese firms and directed approximately $ 150 billion into their bond offerings .
Of these companies , 159 were controlled directly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposé from NPR shows the depths Bloombergs News dove to appease the the CCP .
In 2014 , Bloomberg killed an investigation into the wealth of CCP elites .
The company used a non-disclosure agreement ( NDA ) to not only silence the Beijing-based reporter , but also his wife , who never worked for Bloomberg .
Correspondent Mike Forsythe focused on exposing Chinese President Xi Jinping ’ s ties to the country ’ s richest man , Wang Jianlin .
When the story was ready for publication , founding editor-in-chief Matthew Winkler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid angering the CCP .
“ It is for sure going to , you know , invite the Communist Party to , you know , completely shut us down and kick us out of the country .
So , I just don ’ t see that as a story that is justified , ” Winkler said .
After the story was squashed , the company threatened to sue Forsythe and his wife if they spoke out about Winkler killing the story .
Mike Bloomberg himself has been a CCP apologist .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s trade negotiations with China and applauds the CCP .
Bloomberg claims Xi Jinping is not a dictator .
“ The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public , ” Bloomberg said .
“ Xi Jinping is not a dictator .
He has to satisfy his constituents or he ’ s not going to survive.
” According to a new Department of Homeland Security report obtained by the Associated Press , Beijing hid the severity of the coronavirus to hoard protective medical supplies in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corporate media are bending over backwards to avoid negative press coverage of China during the coronavirus pandemic .
Examining these financial ties may explain why China is receiving such glowing coverage during a pandemic of their own making .

In 2009, Slim loaned $250 million to The New York Times Company, the parent company of the New York Times. That same year, Slim purchased 15.9 million Class A shares of the company.
Slim has regularly conducted business with Chinese companies with overt ties to the CCP. In 2017, Slim’s Giant Motors joined ventures with China’s JAC Motors and began manufacturing cars in Mexico to sell in the Latin America Market. According to Forbes, the goal of selling to Latin America was to circumvent the Trump administration’s trade policies aimed at protecting American jobs — a move that benefited the Beijing in the Chinese-American trade wars.
According to Bloomberg Law, Slim’s company America Movil is teaming up with CCP telecommunication giant Huawei Technologies to pitch a 5G pilot project to the Colombian government this year. Huawei is actively working to undermine American security interests by overturning legislation in the United States that bans the use of Huawei’s 5G network.

MSNBC & NBC
Both MSNBC and NBC News are operated by NBC Universal, a company with extensive financial ties to the CCP. In November 2010, NBC signed an agreement with China’s state-run media organization, Xinhua, to establish a business cooperation in international broadcast news. This was the latest market expansion by the CCP into American media.
Since the signing of the business deal, the U.S. State Department identified Xinhua and five other Chinese state-run media organizations as “foreign missions.” They have been identified as direct CCP operations and do not function as independent news outlets.

What benefits ABC’s company is bending a knee to the CCP in exchange for more money, despite the price it puts on journalist’s ability to report truth and hold those in power to account.
Bloomberg
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his company Bloomberg LP are heavily invested in China. Bloomberg LP sells terminals to their website through the Chinese market and helps finance Chinese companies by sending billions of dollars from U.S. investors to the Chinese bond market.
Bloomberg LP supported 364 Chinese firms and directed approximately $150 billion into their bond offerings. Of these companies, 159 were controlled directly by the CCP.

“The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public,” Bloomberg said. “Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.”
According to a new Department of Homeland Security report obtained by the Associated Press, Beijing hid the severity of the coronavirus to hoard protective medical supplies in early January and February. Yet, corporate media are bending over backwards to avoid negative press coverage of China during the coronavirus pandemic.
Examining these financial ties may explain why China is receiving such glowing coverage during a pandemic of their own making.
