More than 26 million Americans have lost their jobs during these coronavirus lockdowns so far, and this has created unprecedented demand at food banks all over the nation. In many cities, vehicles start lining up at the food banks at the crack of dawn, and in some instances the lines have literally stretched for miles. But at the same time, farmers all over America have been dumping millions of gallons of milk, disposing of millions of pounds of fresh vegetables, and putting farm animals to death at a rate that we have never seen before. In fact, Reuters is reporting that “millions of pigs, chickens and cattle will be euthanized” because they can’t be sold. Unlike other parts of the globe, we actually have plenty of food right now, but we can’t get much of that food to the people because so many food processing facilities have been shut down due to fear of COVID-19.
What we are witnessing is nothing short of a tragedy. Even though there are so many needy families all across America at this time, so many farmers are being forced to waste what they have produced because food distribution pipelines have been brought to a standstill. The following is how Forbes is describing the current state of affairs.
Dairy farmers are trying to decide between dumping their milk and selling their dairy cows for beef. Contract chicken growers on the Eastern Shore have been asked to “depopulate” nearly 2 million chickens. Hog farmers in Iowa and Minnesota are starting to euthanize their pigs. For contract and cooperative farmers—producers in the food system who are obligated to a larger entity—the options are limited.

I have a feeling that we are going to end up deeply regretting letting so many resources go to waste during this time.
In Iowa piglets are being aborted by the thousands, in Minnesota tens of thousands of chickens are being gassed to death, and in Wisconsin farmers have been pouring countless gallons of good milk on to the ground.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is breathlessly warning us that “shortages” are coming.
With food processing plants closing all over the nation, our choices are going to become a lot more limited, and Tyson Foods is openly admitting that “millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain”…
Tyson Foods is facing a new set of challenges. In small communities around the country where we employ over 100,000 hard-working men and women, we’re being forced to shutter our doors. This means one thing – the food supply chain is vulnerable. As pork, beef and chicken plants are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain. As a result, there will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed.
And Smithfield Foods has also released a very ominous statement…
“During this pandemic, our entire industry is faced with an impossible choice: continue to operate to sustain our nation’s food supply or shutter in an attempt to entirely insulate our employees from risk,” Smithfield Foods, the largest global pork producer owned by the Chinese WH Group, said in a statement on Friday. “It’s an awful choice; it’s not one we wish on anyone.” “It is impossible to keep protein on tables across America if our nation’s meat plants are not running. Across the animal protein industry, closures can have severe, perhaps disastrous, repercussions up and down the supply chain,” the statement said. “Beyond the implications to our food supply, our entire agricultural community is in jeopardy. Farmers have nowhere to send their animals and could be forced to euthanize livestock, effectively burying food in the ground. We have a stark choice as a nation: we are either going to produce food or not, even in the face of COVID-19.”
Ultimately, these big corporations are scared to death of being sued into oblivion by their workers if they stay open during this pandemic, and so that is why it is going to be necessary for the federal government to step in.
President Trump has the authority to order meat processing facilities to stay open, and apparently that is exactly what he plans to do…
President Donald Trump plans to order meat-processing plants to remain open as the nation confronts growing food-supply disruptions from the coronavirus outbreak, a person familiar with the matter said. Trump plans to use the Defense Production Act to order the companies to stay open as critical infrastructure, and the government will provide additional protective gear for employees as well as guidance, according to the person.
This should greatly help matters, and I wish that it had been done sooner.
But for the economy as a whole, the outlook continues to be very bleak. Fear of the coronavirus is going to keep many Americans from resuming normal activities for a long time to come, and that is going to absolutely paralyze economic activity. If you doubt this, check out the results of this new poll…
Fewer than half of Americans plan to go to sports events, concerts, movies and amusement parks when they reopen to the public until there is a proven coronavirus vaccine, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday. That includes those who have attended such events in the past, an ominous sign for the sports and entertainment industries hoping to return to the spotlight after being shut down by the pandemic.
I was deeply alarmed when I read that.
There has never been a successful vaccine for any coronavirus in all of human history, and so those that are waiting for one may be waiting for a very, very long time.
Meanwhile, economic suffering is going to continue to escalate all over the nation. In Arkansas, people were lining up at 5:30 AM on Tuesday at a food bank in the Little Rock area, and all of the food “was gone within an hour and a half”…
The Arkansas Foodbank planned to hand out food for four hours on Tuesday, but the demand was so high that all the food was gone within an hour and a half, the charity said. Cars lined up at the Outlets of Little Rock mall, which hosted the event, as early as 5:30 a.m., when the food bank’s workers arrived to unload the trucks, Arkansas Foodbank CEO Rhonda Sanders said.
Everything that I have been warning about for so long is starting to happen, and this country is heading for incredibly challenging times.
Hopefully Trump’s executive order will be implemented smoothly and all of the meat processing plants will be forced to reopen.

thedcclothesline--2020-04-29--Flynn Just Flipped The FBI Upside Down, Now Prison Cells May Well Be In Their Future

Lawrence David| Opinion| Lt. General Michael Flynn has endured more than three years of living hell and personal bankruptcy at the hands of corrupt FBI agents intent on bringing him down .
That is likely to be confirmed this week , perhaps as early as today , when Judge Emmet Sullivan is expected to unseal proof that the FBI coerced a guilty plea out of Flynn to end his ties with the Trump campaign where he could expose Obama ’ s malfeasance .
take our poll - story continues below At the core of this is the government ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence that would prove prosecutors knew Flynn was innocent but proceeded to turn the screws in order to get a plea .
Why ?
Despite reports of lead agent Peter Strzok ’ s bias , it ’ s unlikely the agents – Strzok and Joe Pientka – who targeted Gen. Flynn were acting fueled solely by their own bias .
In a Dec. 2018 PJ Media article written by Debra Heine she explained : As the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency ( DIA ) from July 2012 until he was forced out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Obama administration ’ s policies on ISIS and the Iran nuclear deal , among other things .
As a result , the decorated general put himself “ on the wrong side of history ” and at odds with the Obama-friendly deep state .
The outspoken general continued to rock the boat after he left the administration .
For instance , in November 2015 during an appearance on Fox News , Flynn called for an investigation into the ISIS intel-skewing scandal , recommending that it “ start right at the top.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the White House , ” Flynn said .
“ The president sets the priorities and he ’ s the number one customer .
So if he ’ s not getting the intelligence that he needs and he ’ s not paying attention to what else is going on , then something else is going wrong between him and the advisers that he has.
” Obama already despised Flynn .
But his hate likely turned to fear when his former DIA decided to throw his support behind Donald J. Trump , another boat-rocker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Remember Obama made a point after the 2016 election of advising Trump to avoid hiring the highly decorated general .
Don ’ t forget the phone records showing a quote from Obama ’ s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper telling WaPo reporter David Ignatius to “ take the kill shot on Flynn.
” WTF , was the DNI doing feeding classified information… fake classified information at that… to a reporter ?
Fox ’ s Maria Bartiromo is as well informed about the Obama FBI ’ s entrapment schemes as anyone .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collins ( R-GA ) , who is equally as informed about the motives and schemes at the FBI and DOJ… “ … Michael Flynn ’ s meeting at the White House with the FBI was a complete setup… He never lied… it ’ s all in Mr. Baker ’ s notes , that ’ s the exculpatory evidence.

thedcclothesline--2020-04-29--Texas: Armed Supporters Show Up To Guard Dallas Salon Defying COVID-19 Stay-At-Home Order

Dallas , TX — In the last two months , more than 26 million Americans have filed for unemployment due to mandatory closures of all non-essential businesses .
Also in the last two months business owners of all non-essential businesses have been forced to close , watching their life ’ s work go down in flames .
Government tells people to take out loans to avoid the crash , but the loan system dried up almost as soon as it started , with major failing companies getting millions while small businesses were unable to even apply .
The same goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who have tried to file , have been locked out of the system .
The US economy is in dire straits and crumbling below our feet .
With drastically lower tax revenue , and far higher output , government programs are on a path to either dry up , or completely destroy the dollar through inflation , robbing everyone ’ s savings in the process , as the Fed prints more money to pay for these programs and to bail out big business .
Despite government reassurances that everything will go back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , those who have any knowledge of economics , know that couldn ’ t be further from the truth .
In reality , even if everything “ went back to normal ” tomorrow and all businesses could reopen , there would still be crushing devastation throughout the country .
Naturally , some folks are beginning to question these closures and this impending economic chaos .
Business owners who are unable to obtain government backed SBC loans are taking matters into their own hands and they are opening up — despite threats of arrest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story continues below Last week , Shelley Luther made headlines for opening up her salon business , Salon A la Mode in Dallas , Texas .
Luther told WBAP that she had applied for federal small business loans , but was denied , and hasn ’ t received her stimulus check yet either .
“ I have received zero income from the government and I applied the first days possible that we were allowed to , ” she said .
She is literally being forced into poverty by these mandates and no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her an ounce of help .
Instead , they are extorting her further .
Last week , Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins sent a cease and desist letter to Luther for violating local and state executive orders to stay at home and she ’ s received notice of a potentially hefty fine as well .
But she remains undeterred in her stance against the order , despite the citation and being ordered to close , she is still open .
She says threats of arrest do not scare her either .
“ That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first place and it lets them know that anytime someone stands up they can just shut you down , ” she said .
She ’ s responded to the threats of having her license revoked as well .
“ It won ’ t matter if I have a license because I won ’ t have a business , ” Luther told WFAA last week .
“ I ’ m having to make a decision on whether to pay for my mortgage or to pay the salon lease , ” she said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because my nineteen stylists are more important.
” To be clear , it is not like Luther is forcing people to get their hair done at her salon — no one has to go in there — nor is she operating unsafely .
Everyone is there voluntarily , everyone wears a mask and they practice social distancing while not having their hair done .
“ I don ’ t want to cause any problems , but when you ’ re out of money someone has to stand up and say that they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us work , ” Luther said .
Despite Luther ’ s optimistic resilience , openly defying government orders to shut down has put a target on her back — one that has the cross-hairs of state officials as well as citizens who want her to remain shut down .
So , supporters for Luther ’ s act of civil disobedience have shown up to level the playing field — by being well-armed .
Every day since she ’ s opened , some of the folks who ’ d gathered to show their support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Luther welcomed customers into the salon.

Dallas, TX — In the last two months, more than 26 million Americans have filed for unemployment due to mandatory closures of all non-essential businesses. Also in the last two months business owners of all non-essential businesses have been forced to close, watching their life’s work go down in flames. Government tells people to take out loans to avoid the crash, but the loan system dried up almost as soon as it started, with major failing companies getting millions while small businesses were unable to even apply. The same goes for unemployment as nearly forty percent of people who have tried to file, have been locked out of the system.
The US economy is in dire straits and crumbling below our feet. With drastically lower tax revenue, and far higher output, government programs are on a path to either dry up, or completely destroy the dollar through inflation, robbing everyone’s savings in the process, as the Fed prints more money to pay for these programs and to bail out big business.
Despite government reassurances that everything will go back to normal when states lift their restrictions, those who have any knowledge of economics, know that couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, even if everything “went back to normal” tomorrow and all businesses could reopen, there would still be crushing devastation throughout the country.

Naturally, some folks are beginning to question these closures and this impending economic chaos. Business owners who are unable to obtain government backed SBC loans are taking matters into their own hands and they are opening up — despite threats of arrest and fines.
Last week, Shelley Luther made headlines for opening up her salon business, Salon A la Mode in Dallas, Texas. Luther told WBAP that she had applied for federal small business loans, but was denied, and hasn’t received her stimulus check yet either.
“I have received zero income from the government and I applied the first days possible that we were allowed to,” she said.
She is literally being forced into poverty by these mandates and no one who is doing the forcing is offering her an ounce of help. Instead, they are extorting her further.
Last week, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins sent a cease and desist letter to Luther for violating local and state executive orders to stay at home and she’s received notice of a potentially hefty fine as well.
But she remains undeterred in her stance against the order, despite the citation and being ordered to close, she is still open. She says threats of arrest do not scare her either.
“That defeats the purpose of opening in the first place and it lets them know that anytime someone stands up they can just shut you down,” she said.
She’s responded to the threats of having her license revoked as well.
“It won’t matter if I have a license because I won’t have a business,” Luther told WFAA last week.
“I’m having to make a decision on whether to pay for my mortgage or to pay the salon lease,” she said. “I chose to pay the salon lease because my nineteen stylists are more important.”
To be clear, it is not like Luther is forcing people to get their hair done at her salon — no one has to go in there — nor is she operating unsafely. Everyone is there voluntarily, everyone wears a mask and they practice social distancing while not having their hair done.
“I don’t want to cause any problems, but when you’re out of money someone has to stand up and say that they’re not helping us by not letting us work,” Luther said.
Despite Luther’s optimistic resilience, openly defying government orders to shut down has put a target on her back — one that has the cross-hairs of state officials as well as citizens who want her to remain shut down. So, supporters for Luther’s act of civil disobedience have shown up to level the playing field — by being well-armed.

Every day since she’s opened, some of the folks who’d gathered to show their support for Luther “were carrying guns while Luther welcomed customers into the salon.” Armed security guards also stand on each side of the entrance, as socially distanced customer lines form outside her salon.
So far, armed protesters, security guards, and Luther’s civil disobedience have been enough to deter any arrests or major police action. Despite multiple visits from police and fire rescue, Luther remains open, providing a glimmer of hope to other businesses who may be facing similar conditions.
Dallas county has seen aid 3,105 confirmed cases and 84 deaths to date, in a population of 2.6 million.

Democrats pushing to deliberately infect Americans with coronavirus to speed medical experiments for vaccines

( Natural News ) A cohort of largely Democrat politicians is calling on the United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) to deliberately infect Americans with the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) in order to fast-track the development of a new vaccine .
Dubbed a “ challenge trial , ” several hundred young , healthy volunteers would be purposely exposed to the virus after receiving either a test vaccine or a placebo , the goal being to assess whether or not the test vaccine works as expected .
This would allow a Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normal .
Led by Representatives Bill Foster ( D-Ill. ) and Donna Shalala ( D-Fla. ) , the latter being a former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) , the initiative aims to bypass the traditional clinical trial process and fast-track approval for a new vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) .
“ Our situation in this pandemic is analogous to war , in which there is a long tradition of volunteers risking their health and lives on dangerous missions for which they understand the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to help save the lives of others , ” their letter to the FDA reads .
take our poll - story continues below This is certainly music to the ears of eugenicist Bill Gates , who has repeatedly stated that Americans will not be allowed to go back to work or live anything remotely resembling a normal life until a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) becomes commercially available .
Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams , the Health Ranger , warns that media outlets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are pushing a global vaccine agenda in response to the Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) pandemic : Wait , isn ’ t a challenge trial “ unethical ” because it deprives some candidates of a “ life-saving ” vaccine ?
The idea of conducting a challenge trial such as this has also been endorsed by Stanley Plotkin , a vaccinologist who played a critical role in the development of the first vaccine for rubella .
In an article published in the journal Vaccine , Plotkin , along with bioethicist Arthur Caplan , attempted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too darn long to develop a vaccine the normal way , and that regulators need to speed up the process so Big Pharma can rake in the cash more quickly .

thedcclothesline--2020-04-29--Georgia: Tyrannical Door-To-Door COVID-19 Blood Collections

Georgia… it ’ s time to say “ No more !
” You , like many states around you , have an encroaching tyranny because of sin against the Creator ( Deuteronomy 28 ; Leviticus 26 ) .
This is just the latest evidence that God is not blind and will not turn His eyes from what is going on there nor even in my own state .
These tyrants and un-elected bureaucrats under the eyes of those you elected have determined that they can just draw your blood to test you , in clear violation of the protections of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measure of the Creator , just as He said , to bring you to repentance .
Cheryl Chumley has the story at The Washington Times : They have in Georgia at least , where the state ’ s Department of Public Health recently announced , in cooperation with both Fulton County and Dekalb counties ’ Boards of Health , that “ to learn more about the spread of COVID-19 , ” an “ investigation ” has commenced — and it ’ s an “ investigation ” that ’ s leading government officials to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ask random citizens for , get this , their blood .
Citizens ’ DNA in the hands of unelected government officials .
Hmm , what could go wrong there ?
Specifically , Georgia ’ s health wonks want to know “ the percentage of people in the community who have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 , ” a statement on the state ’ s Department of Public Health webpage reads .
take our poll - story continues below And to get that data , the government needs citizens ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s completely up to the good citizens of Georgia to decide whether or not to turn over their blood to the government .
Georgia ’ s DPH makes that clear in its statement .
In fact , the whole announcement sounds rather tame and sound and sensible and “ help they neighbor ” and so forth and so on .
Cue State Farm music — with a twist : “ Like a good neighbor , the government is here.
” Right ?
We all want to do our part for the good of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be visiting randomly selected homes in Fulton and Dekalb counties to ask residents questions about their health and to collect blood samples for an antibody test , ” the release states .
“ Antibodies are proteins the body makes in response to infection .
The antibody test can tell us whether a person might have had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 .
The antibody test is not meant to diagnose whether a person has COVID-19 now.
” But one has to wonder when the government comes a ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aspects of the blood collection be clearly emphasized ?
Even the children are being asked to donate .
“ All members of the households selected will be asked to participate , including children , ” the announcement continues .
“ Participation is voluntary and you can ask investigation teams any questions you have before agreeing to participate.
” Like : Where ’ s my blood going ?
Like : What happens if you learn I have COVID-19 , the disease caused by the new coronavirus ?
Like : What happens to my blood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Who is going to have access to my children ’ s blood ?
Here ’ s another : Are you crazy ?
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 tracking COVID-19 — for the purposes of helping the “ investigation ” into the spread of the virus .
Seeking volunteers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hands of the citizens ; those ways make clear the blood offerings are completely voluntary .
But government going door-to-door is a different matter .
That ’ s a different situation that puts the government in control — that sends a maybe subtle , maybe not so subtle message : Comply , or face consequences .
What consequences ?
Well , the unknown for one .
The unknown of telling government no — and then not really knowing how government is going to react to that no .
Or not knowing how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government really wanted volunteers , government would post a flyer .
Or send a letter .
The fact that government is knocking on doors means government , yes , wants “ volunteers ” — but also that government really , Really , REALLY wants everybody to , ahem , “ volunteer.
” Former President Ronald Reagan said it best : “ The nine most terrifying words in the English language are , ‘ I ’ m from the government and I ’ m here to help.
’ “ This is that — chilling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It doesn ’ t matter that the governor of Georgia has an “ R ” on his jersey rather than a “ D. ” Under his watch , he is allowing a tyranny that is only parallelled by Nazi Germany… in a “ red ” state .
It does give you pause as to why they are called “ red states , ” doesn ’ t it ?
For more on that , I suggest a history re-education on Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party , which is just as devious as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Sons of Liberty Media

It’s completely up to the good citizens of Georgia to decide whether or not to turn over their blood to the government.

This is that — chilling, on steroids.
You see? It doesn’t matter that the governor of Georgia has an “R” on his jersey rather than a “D.” Under his watch, he is allowing a tyranny that is only parallelled by Nazi Germany… in a “red” state. It does give you pause as to why they are called “red states,” doesn’t it?
