15 Signs That America ’ s Economic Depression Is Accelerating As We Head Toward The Holiday Season Hardly anyone expected that things would get this bad in 2020 .
Once the pandemic hit and states all over the country started instituting lockdowns , economic activity collapsed dramatically .
U.S. GDP was down 31.4 percent during the second quarter of 2020 , and that was a drop without parallel in all of U.S. history .
In fact , that decline was more than three times as large as the previous record .
But eventually states started to “ reopen ” their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third quarter is expected to show a significant rebound when the numbers are finally released .
Of course we still aren ’ t even close to where we used to be , but at least things weren ’ t as bad as they were in the second quarter .
But now as the fourth quarter begins , it appears that economic conditions are heading back in the wrong direction again .
The following are 15 signs that America ’ s economic depression is accelerating as we head toward the holiday season… # 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States are being shut down , and right now there is no timetable for reopening them .
# 2 It is being reported that AMC Entertainment ( the largest movie theater chain in the U.S. ) will “ run out of liquidity ” in 6 months .
# 3 Over the weekend , I was told by someone that works in the industry that he expects most movie theaters in the country to eventually close down permanently because of this pandemic .
# 4 The average rent on a one bedroom apartment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than it was one year ago .
# 5 During the 3rd quarter , the number of vehicles delivered by General Motors was down about 10 percent from a year ago .

But instead , millions upon millions of Americans have lost their jobs and are facing a deeply uncertain future .
One of those Americans is an unemployed cook named Juan Jose Martinez Camacho… Can you imagine doing the same thing for 30 years and suddenly being out of a job ?
Like most Americans , he assumed that the pandemic would soon pass and he would be going back to his old routine .
But that hasn ’ t happened , and so he is among the millions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any income right now .
With so many Americans out of work , food banks around the country have been dealing with a tsunami of demand .
In previous articles , I have written about the absolutely massive lines that we have been seeing in certain portions of the nation .
In some cases , people have started lining up at 2 AM in the morning and the lines have gotten up to 2 miles long .
And every week we see more gigantic lines at food banks all over America .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described the massive lines that have been consistently forming in the state of Texas… If you still have your job and you haven ’ t been forced to visit a food bank during this crisis , you should be thankful for your blessings .
Just like in the 1930s , we are witnessing colossal lines for food all over the nation , and this is just the beginning .
If you have been waiting for a “ recovery ” , you can stop waiting , because what we witnessed during the third quarter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we are going to get .
Now we are less than a month away from a presidential election that promises to be incredibly chaotic , and the extremely deep divisions that already exist in our nation are likely to get even worse .
Many believe that this election will produce even more civil unrest , and that will likely depress economic activity even further .
I truly wish that economic conditions would “ return to normal ” and that all of us could get back to our old patterns .
But there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ return to normal ” any time soon .
Instead , very dark days are ahead , and those very dark days will shake this nation to the core .

U.S. GDP was down 31.4 percent during the second quarter of 2020, and that was a drop without parallel in all of U.S. history. In fact, that decline was more than three times as large as the previous record. But eventually states started to “reopen” their economies, and U.S. GDP for the third quarter is expected to show a significant rebound when the numbers are finally released. Of course we still aren’t even close to where we used to be, but at least things weren’t as bad as they were in the second quarter. But now as the fourth quarter begins, it appears that economic conditions are heading back in the wrong direction again. The following are 15 signs that America’s economic depression is accelerating as we head toward the holiday season…
#1 All 546 Regal Cinema theaters in the United States are being shut down, and right now there is no timetable for reopening them.
#2 It is being reported that AMC Entertainment (the largest movie theater chain in the U.S.) will “run out of liquidity” in 6 months.
#3 Over the weekend, I was told by someone that works in the industry that he expects most movie theaters in the country to eventually close down permanently because of this pandemic.
#4 The average rent on a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco is 20.3 percent lower than it was one year ago.
#5 During the 3rd quarter, the number of vehicles delivered by General Motors was down about 10 percent from a year ago.
#6 It is being reported that Anheuser-Busch will be laying off 400 employees in Loveland, Denver, Littleton and Colorado Springs.
#7 Allstate has just announced that they will be laying off 3,800 workers.
#8 JCPenney says that it will be cutting approximately 15,000 jobs as we approach the holiday shopping season.
#9 At least one-fourth of the 28,000 layoffs that Disney will be conducting will happen in Florida.
#10 Collectively, American Airlines and United Airlines let 32,000 employees go last week.
#11 On Thursday, we learned that another 787,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits during the previous week.
#12 Overall, more than 60 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits so far in 2020. That number is far higher than anything we have ever seen before in all of U.S. history.
#13 Retail store closings in the United States continue to surge along at a pace that is absolutely unprecedented.
#14 Bankruptcy filings in New York City have risen 40 percent so far in 2020.
#15 This number is hard to believe, but it is being reported that almost 90 percent of New York City bar and restaurant owners couldn’t pay their full rent for the month of August.
None of this was supposed to happen.
By now, we were supposed to be well into a “V-shaped recovery” that would soon have Americans forgetting all about the dark days in the middle of 2020.
But instead, millions upon millions of Americans have lost their jobs and are facing a deeply uncertain future. One of those Americans is an unemployed cook named Juan Jose Martinez Camacho…
Juan Jose Martinez Camacho, 59, has been a cook for 30 years, since he was asked to fill in one day when he was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant. He has worked as a cook at the Crowne Plaza in Redondo Beach, California, for 22 years. When he was laid off on March 23, he was thinking it would be only two or three months before things got back to normal. But late last month he was notified he had permanently lost the job, which paid $22 an hour. He has been looking for other cooking jobs without any luck.
Can you imagine doing the same thing for 30 years and suddenly being out of a job?
Like most Americans, he assumed that the pandemic would soon pass and he would be going back to his old routine.
But that hasn’t happened, and so he is among the millions of restaurant workers that are not bringing in any income right now.
With so many Americans out of work, food banks around the country have been dealing with a tsunami of demand. In previous articles, I have written about the absolutely massive lines that we have been seeing in certain portions of the nation. In some cases, people have started lining up at 2 AM in the morning and the lines have gotten up to 2 miles long.
And every week we see more gigantic lines at food banks all over America. The following is how one local news source described the massive lines that have been consistently forming in the state of Texas…
Thousands of cars form tightly packed lines across the state every week now to receive food. From Chihuahuan Desert border towns and cities to the staked plains of the panhandle, across the piney wood of deep East Texas, down to the Rio Grande and back cars stack, growing into steel and fiberglass caterpillars, hungry. These events have distributed tens of millions of pounds of food over the past six months.
If you still have your job and you haven’t been forced to visit a food bank during this crisis, you should be thankful for your blessings.
Just like in the 1930s, we are witnessing colossal lines for food all over the nation, and this is just the beginning.
If you have been waiting for a “recovery”, you can stop waiting, because what we witnessed during the third quarter was about all the “recovery” that we are going to get.
Now we are less than a month away from a presidential election that promises to be incredibly chaotic, and the extremely deep divisions that already exist in our nation are likely to get even worse. Many believe that this election will produce even more civil unrest, and that will likely depress economic activity even further.
I truly wish that economic conditions would “return to normal” and that all of us could get back to our old patterns.
But there isn’t going to be any “return to normal” any time soon.
Instead, very dark days are ahead, and those very dark days will shake this nation to the core.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-05--Medical Journal:  Get The COVID-19 Vaccine, Or Be Punished Harshly

For all intents and purposes , the COVID-19 vaccine should be “ mandatory ” says one medical journal , and noncompliance should be hardly punished .
And if you refuse to take the new vaccine , you should face losing your job and be forbidden from leaving your own house until you comply .
Non-compliance with the new coronavirus vaccination program could result in a penalty .
Medical journals are already discussing ways to convince people to take the shot , and if you don ’ t they are figuring out other ways to punish those pesky dissenters .
With @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unwilling to submit to an experimental COVID-19 shot , a new scientific paper has shed light on how state health authorities might enforce compliance with vaccine mandates , according to a report by RT .
The paper , which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday , outlines “ strategies ” for circumventing widespread fears over the safety of a rushed-to-market vaccine against the novel coronavirus , providing health authorities with a playbook for coercing a skittish populace .
The writers acknowledge that voluntary measures should be tried first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone out of the gate .
However , if the target population doesn ’ t comply within a trial period , a mandate should be rolled out , and the penalties for refusing to submit should be harsh .
Given “ the costs of a failed voluntary scheme , ” the writers warn , authorities should wait no more than a few weeks before rolling out a mandate if uptake falls short of expectations.-RT The vaccine should be mandated for “ high-risk ” populations , such as the elderly and healthcare workers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like dormitories or prisons .
Military personnel are also set up to get this vaccine first .
But once all of those groups have been vaccinated , they plan is to force it on everyone else .
Rather than attempting to pass laws requiring certain populations to get the vaccine , the paper recommends that “ noncompliance should incur a penalty ” – and a “ relatively substantial ” one .
The non-compliant should be threatened with “ employment suspension or stay-at-home orders , ” though fines or criminal charges are discouraged , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and risk getting the mandate itself challenged in court .
Worse , they “ may stoke distrust without improving uptake , ” it adds .
–RT It ’ s also important to know that the authors of the NEJM paper hail from Yale , Stanford University , and Indiana University , all institutions that have received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
The foundation has poured billions of dollars into developing multiple COVID-19 vaccines , setting up seven facilities to manufacture the leading candidates .
While the United States , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries have already paid for hundreds of millions of doses of multiple jabs , no western pharmaceutical company has yet declared victory in the vaccine race – on the contrary , the clinical trials of frontrunners like AstraZeneca and Moderna have yielded a bumper crop of troubling side effects .
There is no intention to make this vaccine voluntary and noncompliance will be punished .
If you intend to refuse this vaccine , make sure you are prepared for the “ punishments ” involved .
Store extra food , water , and supplies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and know what ’ s going on .

Non-compliance with the new coronavirus vaccination program could result in a penalty. Medical journals are already discussing ways to convince people to take the shot, and if you don’t they are figuring out other ways to punish those pesky dissenters. With over half the United States population reportedly unwilling to submit to an experimental COVID-19 shot, a new scientific paper has shed light on how state health authorities might enforce compliance with vaccine mandates, according to a report by RT.

Rather than attempting to pass laws requiring certain populations to get the vaccine, the paper recommends that “noncompliance should incur a penalty” – and a “relatively substantial” one.

Worse, they “may stoke distrust without improving uptake,” it adds. –RT

Operation Warp Speed Awards Novavax $1.6 Billion For COVID Vaccine
While the United States, the United Kingdom, and several other countries have already paid for hundreds of millions of doses of multiple jabs, no western pharmaceutical company has yet declared victory in the vaccine race – on the contrary, the clinical trials of frontrunners like AstraZeneca and Moderna have yielded a bumper crop of troubling side effects.
There is no intention to make this vaccine voluntary and noncompliance will be punished.
If you intend to refuse this vaccine, make sure you are prepared for the “punishments” involved. Store extra food, water, and supplies now and make sure you stay alert and know what’s going on.

The New York governor , whose order forcing nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients may have killed as many as 11,000 seniors , had previously accused President Trump of being “ a co-conspirator of COVID ” for not wearing a mask .
Meanwhile , at the height of the pandemic in New York , Cuomo signed an anti-police bill , closely flanked by Al Sharpton and police opponents , with nobody wearing masks .
“ If you leave home , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mayor Bowser announced .

Even though Bowser ’ s order had exempted district and federal employees , she dispatched investigators to the Trump International Hotel over a photo of President Trump not wearing a mask .

The biggest mask hypocrites wear masks. As long as they think the cameras are on and people are paying attention. The moment they’re not signaling their virtue, the masks come off.
“Why don’t the NYPD wear masks? What signal does that send?” Governor Cuomo ranted.

This sort of behavior by politicians has become so commonplace that it’s almost hardly worth commenting on. Politicians scold the public about wearing masks and then get unmasked.
The media has repeatedly been caught pulling the same stunt.
CNN’s Jim Acosta complained that President Trump wasn’t wearing a mask, only to be caught not wearing a mask. The same thing happened with CNN’s White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins. An MSNBC reporter, pretending to be outraged that no one at Lake Geneva on Memorial Day was wearing masks, had his shot interrupted when a passerby noted that the cameraman and half the MSNBC crew weren’t wearing them either.
Mask virtue signaling and outrage happens in front of the cameras. It’s easy to spot plenty of talking heads and their crews without masks when the cameras turn the other way.
Public health officials, from Dr. Fauci down to state officials have been caught at it too.
Masks are inconvenient and unpleasant. But they’ve also become a political and social symbol. Like most leftist social statements, it’s important to be seen practicing it, rather than to actually practice it. Masks, like going vegan, driving a Prius, or issuing a statement about this country’s structural racism, show that you are morally superior because you “care” about an issue.
And showing that you care means that you don’t actually have to care except when showing off.
Democrat governors imposed lockdowns on other people while they flagrantly violated them.
Governor Pritzker preached to Illinois residents about the importance of “staying home for the good of each other and the good of our state” while his family traveled to their horse farms and mansions in Florida and Wisconsin, and while workers from Chicago labored to construct his mansion in Wisconsin.
Why should the relationship of Democrat politicians to masks be any different than their behavior in getting haircuts and opening up the salons they closed, taking the vacations they banned for others, and eating at restaurants that people in their states aren’t allowed to do.
Governor Whitmer had banned just about everything in Michigan and then her husband wanted a boat for a Memorial Day jaunt, and inquired, “I am the husband to the governor; will this make a difference?”
Obviously.
People are used to political hypocrisy from politicians, but the politicization of everything has made political hypocrisy as ubiquitous as any other vice masquerading as a virtue. In a society that is losing its religion, politics offers identity and moral values to an irreligious country.
And the mask is one of the caring facades that the cult of correctness and awareness wears.
The difference between virtue and virtue signaling is the same as the contrast between a face and a mask. The former conveys the truth about a person, while the latter seeks to mask it.
In a society where virtue is what you wear, rather than what you are, the masks are everywhere.
Masks, like virtue signaling, can be put on and taken off again. They don’t require any meaningful commitment. Like the t-shirt with a slogan about the environment or a bumper sticker for a political cause, they can be easily removed once the virtue has been signaled.
Virtue is inconvenient to people who lack it. That’s why virtue signaling is better. And it’s also why those who preach about masks the loudest are the biggest mask hypocrites. Virtue signaling is for self-righteous hypocrites who want the facade of morality without the morals.
A virtue that they remove at will, that is visible, but can be taken off when no one who matters is looking, is the culmination of a morality that confuses caring with spreading awareness. Putting on a mask says that you care, when you really don’t, and it lets you take it off when the camera isn’t on you, when you’re among friends, and when the point that you care has been made.
Democrat politicians aren’t wearing masks because they care, but because they want to reduce caring to wearing a mask, so that no one asks uncomfortable questions about the thousands of elderly people who died in nursing homes that they forced to accept coronavirus patients.
When you peek behind the mask of caring, a murderous amorality is there looking back at you.
Saving lives is hard. Wearing a mask for the cameras is easy. The politicians and the people who spend the most time trying to confuse caring and masking don’t care about human life.
The tragic truth that the Greeks knew well is that the mask of virtue is no substitute for virtue.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-05--Italy: Muslim Migrant Murders Priest, Pope Calls Perp a ‘Headache’

The irrepressible Pope Francis is at it again : in his Angelus address last Sunday , he announced : “ Today the Church celebrates the World Day of Migrants and Refugees .
I greet the refugees and migrants present in the Square around the monument entitled ‘ Angels , unawares , ’ which I blessed last year.
” He spoke with sympathy about “ the internally displaced , who are forced to flee , as also happened to Jesus and his family .
‘ Like Jesus , forced to flee , ’ likewise the displaced , migrants .
Our remembrance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a particular way , and to those who assist them , ” Yet this came just days after Mahmoudi Ridha , a Muslim migrant from Tunisia , murdered a Catholic priest in Italy , Fr .
Roberto Malgesini .
After killing Malgesini , Ridha crowed : “ The priest died like a dog , that was right.
” According to Church Militant , in the wake of the murder , “ police have categorically rejected the Italian bishops ’ claim ” that Ridha “ had mental problems.
” After the murder , Pope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ignore the grim reality of Islamic jihad , declared that Ridha was “ a person in need ” and “ malata di testa , ” which is bad Italian for either “ sick in the head ” or a “ headache.
” “ I am not sure if Pope Francis is being deliberately ambiguous or speaking poor Italian as he often does , ” said an Italian linguist .

No wonder Mahmoudi Ridha gave the Pontiff a headache .
“ Leave them ; they are blind guides .

” ( Matthew 15:14 )

The irrepressible Pope Francis is at it again: in his Angelus address last Sunday, he announced: “Today the Church celebrates the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. I greet the refugees and migrants present in the Square around the monument entitled ‘Angels, unawares,’ which I blessed last year.” He spoke with sympathy about “the internally displaced, who are forced to flee, as also happened to Jesus and his family. ‘Like Jesus, forced to flee,’ likewise the displaced, migrants. Our remembrance and our prayer to them, in a particular way, and to those who assist them,”
Yet this came just days after Mahmoudi Ridha, a Muslim migrant from Tunisia, murdered a Catholic priest in Italy, Fr. Roberto Malgesini. After killing Malgesini, Ridha crowed: “The priest died like a dog, that was right.” According to Church Militant, in the wake of the murder, “police have categorically rejected the Italian bishops’ claim” that Ridha “had mental problems.”
After the murder, Pope Francis, as determined as ever to ignore the grim reality of Islamic jihad, declared that Ridha was “a person in need” and “malata di testa,” which is bad Italian for either “sick in the head” or a “headache.”
“I am not sure if Pope Francis is being deliberately ambiguous or speaking poor Italian as he often does,” said an Italian linguist. “Of course, he wouldn’t like his pro-migrant, pro-Muslim narrative to be disrupted if the assassin were found to have jihadi motives.”
Indeed. In light of his long-established positions, it is easy to understand why Pope Francis would call Ridha a “headache.” Ridha’s act could blow the Catholic Church’s deceptive game regarding Islam and mass Muslim migration wide open. The Catholic Church during the misrule of this Pope has become so wedded to the idea that mass migration is a good thing and a Christian duty to accept and enable that even when police reject the claim that a Muslim migrant murderer was mentally ill, the Church insists on it.
Even worse, “Roberto Bernasconi, president of the Como section of pro-migrant Catholic charity Caritas, blamed the ‘tragedy’ on the anti-migrant ‘climate of hatred and intolerance that is fomented in the city.’” That’s right: he is claiming that a Muslim migrant murdered a pro-migrant priest because of anti-migrant sentiment, which is not exactly the most effective way to stamp out such sentiment.
The Italian Catholic bishops and Roberto Bernasconi call to mind a passage from a book that those bishops probably haven’t read in a long while: “And for this reason God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” (2 Thessalonians 2:11)
As I told Church Militant, no one in the media, Church or police has tried to discover whether Islam’s doctrine calling for violence against unbelievers may have been a motive for Fr. Malgesini’s murder because all three are deeply committed to the idea that there is no such doctrine, and that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.
To acknowledge that Mahmoudi Ridha was motivated by Qur’anic passages such as “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5) and “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4) is inconceivable to them. They either don’t know that such passages exist, or they are certain that no Muslims today take them seriously or would ever consider acting upon them. The only fallback position for those whose denial and willful ignorance is so implacable is to insist that Ridha is “mentally ill.”
The Vatican is especially invested in that kind of obfuscation. According to Vatican News, “The theme of fraternity is also present in [the Pope’s] constant embrace of migrants, epitomized in his pastoral visit to Lampedusa. His signing of the Document on Human Fraternity in Abu Dhabi in 2019 marks one more example of Pope Francis’ dedication to promoting brotherly love.”
Brotherly love? Sure. But as for regarding all human beings as brothers, both Sunni and Shi’ite Islam teach that the lives of non-Muslims are not worth as much as the lives of Muslims. Reliance of the Traveller, a classic Sunni manual of Islamic sacred law, explains matter-of-factly that “the indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” (o4.9) The Qur’an calls “the unbelievers among the People of the Book,” that is, Jews and Christians who do not accept Islam, “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).
Sultanhussein Tabandeh, the Shi’ite author of A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, agrees, stating: “Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain.”
But the Pope and the Catholic Church continue to ignore all of this. The coming encyclical, meanwhile, will mislead millions of Catholics into a complacency that could be fatal. No wonder Mahmoudi Ridha gave the Pontiff a headache.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

Editorial From Combat Veterans For Congress PAC Members Supports Unconstitutional Measure While PAC Claims To Support Constitution

There should be no doubt that I have a genuine affection for combat veterans , no matter the area these brave men and women have served .
My Dad served during the Korean War as a member of the Air Force ; two uncles served in the Army during the same time ; and , two of my Dad ’ s uncles served in World War II – one the Navy , the other the Marines .
My daughter served in the Navy while my son-in-law served in the Air Force .
My sister was an Air Force member while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Air Force , Coast Guard , and now public health – he has retired from his military service .
I thank them and all others who have served our country .
It is with much hesitation that I now find myself correcting a retired member of the Navy whose editorial appeared in Red State , posted by Stu Cvrk , with the headline , “ Refuting the Lie That There Is No Plan to Defeat the Chinese Communist COVID-19 Virus ” .
However , it is out of love that I convey the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump idolatry .
From time to time , I like to promote the Combat Veterans for Congress ( CVFC ) political action committee because their cause is righteous .
CVFC PAC is dedicated to supporting the election of fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress .
The PAC seeks to elect combat veterans to Congress who believe in limited government , will rein in the out of control spending of Congress , are committed to preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution , and will support the independence and freedom of the individual as outlined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this statement , one would suspect the editorial in reference would be filled with commentary based on the Constitution that would challenge some of the “ measures ” the united States citizens have endured .
Not so .
As you will see , praise upon President Trump ’ s actions , despite the unconstitutionality , are praised to refute the narrative of Trump ’ s opposition that a plan to defeat CON-VID-19 is non-existent .
It ’ s a left/right , Democrat/Republican paradigm attitude that prevails throughout the entire editorial .
Keep that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a recent timely editorial by the PAC chairman , CAPT Joe John , USN ( Ret ’ d ) , provided here with permission , that puts the lie to Democrat-media complex claims that there is no plan to defeat the ChiCom virus : In the first Presidential debate , Joe Biden continued to repeat the lie that President Trump did not have a plan to defeat the Communist Chinese COVID-19 Virus .
That lie has been another attempt by Biden , Progressives , Socialists , Communists , and the left of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mislead the American voters about President Trump ’ s many successes on multiple fronts .
Over the last 9 months , President Trump took the COVID-19 threat very seriously and developed a very aggressive plan of action to assemble the most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases in the United States , in order to develop measures to protect America ’ s population from infection , to develop therapeutic medical treatments for COVID-19 , and to develop a vaccine to protect the American population from the Communist Chinese pandemic .
Prior to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump should outline the COVID-19 Presidential Task Force ’ s successes in protecting the American people from COVID-19 .
For the last 9 months , President Trump listened to and followed the ever-changing advice of the most experienced and knowledgeable scientists and medical doctors in infectious disease in the United States who are members of the COVID-19 Presidential Task Force .
During that period , the COVID-19 Presidential Task Force had been involved in the standard scientific trial and error research procedures that all scientists involved in research must do on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial and error about how to combat the Chinese Communist COVID-19 virus and develop treatments for infected patients .
Let ’ s take a look at these statements .
The “ most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases in the United States ” was NOT assembled for any taskforce .
In fact , those who were part of the task force have been exposed as being liars , squelching factual information that could have actually saved jobs and the economy , scrubbed long time published information from government websites once that information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and engaged in gross inflation of numbers of individuals sick from an unidentified , non-isolated microorganism .
Moreover , these “ experts ” promoted scientific quackery that did not meet Koch ’ s or Rivers ’ postulates while advocated use of an RT-PCR test that was never meant for diagnostic purposes and couldn ’ t tell the difference between the cold , flu or exosome .
There should be no “ trial and error ” research when there are gold standards concerning identification of new or existing microorganisms .
The reality is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not allow US scientists and doctors to travel to the location where the COVID-19 pandemic was first detected .
US researchers were prevented from meeting with the scientists and doctors at the Wuhan Lab in Wuhan , China , so they could to investigate specific details about the Communist Chinese COVID-19 virus .
The goal of having the meeting in Wuhan , China , was to be able to benefit from the knowledge the Chinese Communist scientists had in order to speed up the treatment of infected patients and how to better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the United States from COVID-19 .
The Chinese Communist prevented that from happening .
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) was conveniently left out here .
It was the WHO that sounded an alarm based only on what “ Communist China ” said .
There is no proof this is anything but a type of influenza .
But , Capt .
John buys the narrative of the lamestream government-controlled propaganda entertainment enemedia that this is something new .
Continuing on , Capt .
John outlines 10 actions President Trump initiated to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still calling Fauci , Birx , Redfield , and Adams the “ most knowledgeable US scientists and doctors in infectious disease research ” .
Surely , there is no need to debunk that claim since it has been done in article after article on The Sons of Liberty Media and The Sons of Liberty Radio Shows .
Not all of Capt .
John ’ s 10 actions will be covered .
Readers can look at those at their convenience .
The focus will be on the unconstitutional actions by the government based upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Fauci , Birx , and Redfield .
Number six focused on “ shutting down the economy ” by Trump .
Yet , Trump did not shut down the economy ; it was left to the governors of the various States .
And , don ’ t get me wrong , this is NOT defending Trump .
HIS taskforce made recommendations that many governors pounced upon .
Remember , South Dakota never issued economical shutdowns because no governor , the President or federal government or any entity of government has constitutional authority to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy .
Millions were left unemployed and now , 55 % of small businesses will never reopen , meaning the livelihoods of countless Americans were lost with no hope of returning to work at their previous employer or business owners reopening their establishments .
He went on to praise a “ $ 2 billion-dollar stimulus package in order to save thousands of businesses and provide continued income for millions of families.
” That bailout turned out to be a total of $ 6 trillion dollars with the majority of money going to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mom and pop ” ones as was touted .
The American taxpayer has been put on the hook for that “ stimulus ” , which is outrageous .
On 27 March 2020 , the need became apparent for respirators , and because the Obama Administration left the cupboards bare with no respirators available , President Trump activated and instituted the Defense Production Act followed by an immediate order to General Motors to start producing respirators .
Now the US has such an excess of respirators that it is now supplying the world with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use the Defense Production Act to produce Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) for the US since Communist China was the primary supplier of PPE and made a veiled threat to cut back supplies .
At the same time , therapeutics were being developed to treat infected patients , and the Task Force warned all Americans to keep safe distances from each other , to wear masks , and often wash hands with warm soapy water .
Again , we have all heard the ventilator story – it ’ s ventilators , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was being “ projected ” .
In fact , all the projectors the “ most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases ” relied upon were wrong .
Yet , these individuals have continued to propagate fear and spread false information .
Remember , the CDC has come clean , but medical professionals and public health officials continue using the CDC ’ s original false numbers as does the “ most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases ” and both political party members .
The therapeutics being developed to treat CON-VID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , a therapeutic already existed to treat individuals with this illness – Hydroxychloroquine .
Yet , the “ most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious disease ” fabricated information which was printed in the Lancet maligning Hydroxychloroquine .
In some areas , the medication was banned and pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions for the drug .
As it turns out , the Lancet had to retract that piece of false information .
But , the damage was done with the sheeple buying it .
Doctors who had treated numerous individuals successfully with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steps outside the Supreme Court building advocating for the medication , going so far as to indicate the appropriate dosages combined with Zinc and Zithromax for individuals who could obtain it .
Other doctors abroad have had their licenses revoked by their countries for disseminating truth to the masses .
And , these social distancing orders , mask recommendations and “ house arrest ” advisories have not been proven to be effective , period .
Yet , what did many governors and local government officials do ?
Implement unproven measures and then exact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and refused to play along with the con .
Handwashing is always advisable period under all circumstances .
If anyone hasn ’ t discovered it by now , masks don ’ t work and there are a multitude of studies that indicate as much .
In number eight , Capt .
John cites , “ [ Trump ] also mobilized the US military to erect US Army Field Hospitals to multiple sites around the US to ensure that there were plenty of beds for COVID-19 cases.
” In reality , private establishments were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of pandemic victims , which never emerged , without providing any due process or compensation for those establishments .
This is in direct violation of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution .
Capt .
John praises the establishment of testing sites and speed of testing results returns , citing the return on a test result is now down to 15 minutes .
Never does he indicate the RT-PCR test was not developed for diagnostic purposes , has an 80 % false positive rate , and the rapidity with which “ scientists ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sidestepped the gold standards established for research and development .
In his last praise Trump ’ s actions , he states , “ During the last 9 months , the President gave the US pharmaceutical industry and research labs financial incentives to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in order to protect Americans from the Communist Chinese COVID-19 virus .
Investors contributed $ 100 billion to research companies to develop the COVID-19 vaccine .
Five companies are in the final stages of developing a COVID-19 vaccine .
This has been the fastest development of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ removed many administrative roadblocks to developing a vaccine .
The companies making excellent progress in developing the vaccine are ( MRNA ) , Pfizer ( PFE ) , and ( BNTX ) , Novavax ( NVAX ) , and Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) .
” Wasn ’ t there an executive from Pfizer who just spoke up ?
And , where in the Constitution does the President or the Congress , including any federal agency , provide the authority to award any industry , research lab , or pharmaceutical company a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including a vaccine for a nonproven microorganism claimed to cause CON-VID-19 ?
Article , Section , and Clause , please .
Let me save you the trouble – there isn ’ t a provision in the Constitution that gives any branch or federal agency that authority .
Moreover , Capt .
John praises the involvement of the military at all levels .
But , why is the military involved in what is nothing more than an out of season influenza outbreak ?
And , President Trump indicates the military will be used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under Operation Warp Speed .
Why does the military need to be involved when medication dispensation has always been done by the private sector ?
It ’ s because the attempt will be made to make this “ vaccine ” for a nothing-burger mandatory in violation of an individual ’ s God-given unalienable right protected by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and an individual ’ s right to self-determine his or her own health care needs and treatment .
For a PAC that claims to preserve and defend the Constitution , one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unconstitutional measures taken by this President and all levels of government , while uplifting known liars and fabricators of information .
Capt .
John still quotes the CDC false narrative that 205,000 individuals have died from CON-VID-19 , when the CDC updated its site to say that only 6 % have died from CON-VID-19 alone , which that number is bogus as Dr. Ron Paul reported and was aired by The Sons of Liberty Radio Show host Bradlee Dean .
In fact , CON-VID-19 has a 99.94 % survival rate .
Do the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a vaccine for an illness that has a 99.94 % survival rate .
People are getting sick , but it isn ’ t from what they claim is a coronavirus from China .
No proof is given this came from China .
No proof is available indicating a new microorganism is making individuals sick – it has not been isolated nor met Koch ’ s or Rivers ’ postulates .
Scientific malpractice is occurring as scientists reject the gold standards established to determine if a new microorganism exists and that new microorganism is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also occurring when doctors are relying on false information published by the CDC , the WHO , and supposedly “ reputable ” medical journals without taking the time to verify the information .
The genetic material touted as from COVID-19 microorganism is actually human genome 8 : primary assemble and has been patented .
Nature can not be patented so this was done unlawfully .
And , vaccines can not be mandated when another treatment exists for the illness .
So , exactly what are these Combat Veterans for Congress supporting while claiming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Constitution .
From this editorial , it appears it is anything and everything that Trump and his merry band of “ most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases ” , aka clowns , promote with all disregard for the Constitution and factual information .
Here ’ s a question for them : Why has your PAC not reviewed any of the information from Dr. Andrew Kaufman , Dr. Carrie Madej , Dr. Kevin Corbett , and a host of alternative media journalists who have taken the time to research extensively the hoax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is – a way to usher in global government through control of the people by instilling fear ?
A good piece of advice is always do your own research to determine if what is being told to you is factual before blindly supporting anyone or anything .
The hoax of the CON-VID-19 is to use the farce of a pandemic , aka scam-demic plan-demic , to destroy the united States and western civilization on every level to usher in global governance and subjugate the people .
The true tragedies are there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this because they refuse to believe the government would do this and those who know better , know the truth , and have access to the information , looking at you all still in the medical profession , but continue to follow false narratives and unlawful , illegal mandates to avoid consequences .
Shame on you all !

It is with much hesitation that I now find myself correcting a retired member of the Navy whose editorial appeared in Red State, posted by Stu Cvrk, with the headline, “Refuting the Lie That There Is No Plan to Defeat the Chinese Communist COVID-19 Virus”. However, it is out of love that I convey the truth to those who are engaging in Trump idolatry.
From Stu Cvrk:
From time to time, I like to promote the Combat Veterans for Congress (CVFC) political action committee because their cause is righteous. CVFC PAC is dedicated to supporting the election of fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress. The PAC seeks to elect combat veterans to Congress who believe in limited government, will rein in the out of control spending of Congress, are committed to preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution, and will support the independence and freedom of the individual as outlined in the Bill of Rights.

The American taxpayer has been put on the hook for that “stimulus”, which is outrageous.
Capt. John’s editorial continues with number seven:
On 27 March 2020, the need became apparent for respirators, and because the Obama Administration left the cupboards bare with no respirators available, President Trump activated and instituted the Defense Production Act followed by an immediate order to General Motors to start producing respirators.

Yet, these individuals have continued to propagate fear and spread false information. Remember, the CDC has come clean, but medical professionals and public health officials continue using the CDC’s original false numbers as does the “most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases” and both political party members. The therapeutics being developed to treat CON-VID-19 individuals is referring to Remdesivir. In fact, a therapeutic already existed to treat individuals with this illness – Hydroxychloroquine. Yet, the “most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious disease” fabricated information which was printed in the Lancet maligning Hydroxychloroquine. In some areas, the medication was banned and pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions for the drug. As it turns out, the Lancet had to retract that piece of false information. But, the damage was done with the sheeple buying it.
Doctors who had treated numerous individuals successfully with Hydroxychloroquine were fired after standing on the steps outside the Supreme Court building advocating for the medication, going so far as to indicate the appropriate dosages combined with Zinc and Zithromax for individuals who could obtain it. Other doctors abroad have had their licenses revoked by their countries for disseminating truth to the masses.
And, these social distancing orders, mask recommendations and “house arrest” advisories have not been proven to be effective, period. Yet, what did many governors and local government officials do?

In number eight, Capt. John cites, “[Trump] also mobilized the US military to erect US Army Field Hospitals to multiple sites around the US to ensure that there were plenty of beds for COVID-19 cases.” In reality, private establishments were commandeered to house the “projected” number of pandemic victims, which never emerged, without providing any due process or compensation for those establishments. This is in direct violation of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
Capt. John praises the establishment of testing sites and speed of testing results returns, citing the return on a test result is now down to 15 minutes. Never does he indicate the RT-PCR test was not developed for diagnostic purposes, has an 80% false positive rate, and the rapidity with which “scientists” are developing tests and other avenues has sidestepped the gold standards established for research and development.
In his last praise Trump’s actions, he states, “During the last 9 months, the President gave the US pharmaceutical industry and research labs financial incentives to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in order to protect Americans from the Communist Chinese COVID-19 virus. Investors contributed $100 billion to research companies to develop the COVID-19 vaccine. Five companies are in the final stages of developing a COVID-19 vaccine. This has been the fastest development of a vaccine in medical history because President Trump removed many administrative roadblocks to developing a vaccine. The companies making excellent progress in developing the vaccine are Moderna (MRNA), Pfizer (PFE), and BioNTech (BNTX), Novavax (NVAX), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).”
Wasn’t there an executive from Pfizer who just spoke up? And, where in the Constitution does the President or the Congress, including any federal agency, provide the authority to award any industry, research lab, or pharmaceutical company a “financial incentive” for anything, including a vaccine for a nonproven microorganism claimed to cause CON-VID-19? Article, Section, and Clause, please. Let me save you the trouble – there isn’t a provision in the Constitution that gives any branch or federal agency that authority.
Moreover, Capt. John praises the involvement of the military at all levels. But, why is the military involved in what is nothing more than an out of season influenza outbreak? And, President Trump indicates the military will be used to “dispense” this “vaccine” under Operation Warp Speed. Why does the military need to be involved when medication dispensation has always been done by the private sector? It’s because the attempt will be made to make this “vaccine” for a nothing-burger mandatory in violation of an individual’s God-given unalienable right protected by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and an individual’s right to self-determine his or her own health care needs and treatment.
For a PAC that claims to preserve and defend the Constitution, one of its own members is actually praising unconstitutional measures taken by this President and all levels of government, while uplifting known liars and fabricators of information. Capt. John still quotes the CDC false narrative that 205,000 individuals have died from CON-VID-19, when the CDC updated its site to say that only 6% have died from CON-VID-19 alone, which that number is bogus as Dr. Ron Paul reported and was aired by The Sons of Liberty Radio Show host Bradlee Dean. In fact, CON-VID-19 has a 99.94% survival rate. Do the math.
There is no need for a vaccine for an illness that has a 99.94% survival rate. People are getting sick, but it isn’t from what they claim is a coronavirus from China. No proof is given this came from China. No proof is available indicating a new microorganism is making individuals sick – it has not been isolated nor met Koch’s or Rivers’ postulates. Scientific malpractice is occurring as scientists reject the gold standards established to determine if a new microorganism exists and that new microorganism is making individuals sick. Medical malpractice is also occurring when doctors are relying on false information published by the CDC, the WHO, and supposedly “reputable” medical journals without taking the time to verify the information. The genetic material touted as from COVID-19 microorganism is actually human genome 8: primary assemble and has been patented. Nature cannot be patented so this was done unlawfully. And, vaccines cannot be mandated when another treatment exists for the illness.
So, exactly what are these Combat Veterans for Congress supporting while claiming to be on the side of the Constitution. From this editorial, it appears it is anything and everything that Trump and his merry band of “most knowledgeable scientists and doctors in infectious diseases”, aka clowns, promote with all disregard for the Constitution and factual information. Here’s a question for them: Why has your PAC not reviewed any of the information from Dr. Andrew Kaufman, Dr. Carrie Madej, Dr. Kevin Corbett, and a host of alternative media journalists who have taken the time to research extensively the hoax of COVID-19, exposing it for what it is – a way to usher in global government through control of the people by instilling fear? A good piece of advice is always do your own research to determine if what is being told to you is factual before blindly supporting anyone or anything. The hoax of the CON-VID-19 is to use the farce of a pandemic, aka scam-demic plan-demic, to destroy the united States and western civilization on every level to usher in global governance and subjugate the people. The true tragedies are there are ignorant individuals who are going along with this because they refuse to believe the government would do this and those who know better, know the truth, and have access to the information, looking at you all still in the medical profession, but continue to follow false narratives and unlawful, illegal mandates to avoid consequences.
Shame on you all!!

Is this just more smoke being blown at the American people while fascists work hand in glove together to control the narrative and silence dissent or is there actually going to be something done to corporations like Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube? My guess is the first, but one wonders how you can break up something on the internet. It isn’t quite like the Bells several decades ago.
Reuters reports:
The U.S. House of Representatives antitrust report on Big Tech firms contains a “thinly veiled call to break up” the companies, Republican Congressman Ken Buck said in a draft response seen by Reuters.
The House antitrust subcommittee is expected to publish its report this week on Amazon.com Inc, Apple Inc, Facebook Inc and Google owner Alphabet Inc.
A Buck representative confirmed to Reuters the authenticity of the draft response, which was first reported by Politico.
In the draft, Buck said he shared Democratic concerns about the power of Big Tech firms, with their penchant for “killer acquisitions” to eliminate rivals and self-preferencing in guiding customers to their other products.
However, he objected to a plan to require them to delineate a clear “single line of business”. Social media platform Facebook also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, search engine provider Google’s businesses include YouTube and Android, and e-commerce leader Amazon operates a massive cloud computing unit.
“This proposal is a thinly veiled call to break up Big Tech firms. We do not agree with the majority’s approach,” Buck wrote.
Well, how about dealing with them as criminals who violate the law that is written instead of coddling them as your pets?
“The report offers a chilling look into how Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook have used their power to control how we see and understand the world,” Buck wrote.
So, why are you not applying the law to them? Why is this a difficult decision?
“These potential changes need not be dramatic to be effective,” Buck wrote.
I’m not necessarily saying bring a break up, but bring the law to bear on their lawlessness in how they are conducting their business and the fraud they are perpetrating.
In an interview I did with Jason Fyk, who is currently in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a lawsuit with Facebook, he laid out what these companies are doing and they are clearly violating the law with absolutely no consequences for doing so.
