thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-18--US Economy Contracting “At Its Sharpest Pace Since World War Two” & “The Worst Is Yet To Come”

Fear of COVID-19 has unleashed economic chaos on a scale that has already surpassed anything that we witnessed during the last recession , and as you will see below , we are now being warned that “ the worst is yet to come ” .
Many Americans are hoping that things can start to return to normal as the U.S. economy “ reopens ” in the weeks ahead , but the truth is that we are still in the very early chapters of this crisis .
In fact , it is being estimated that we are only one-tenth of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ flattening the curve ” we have actually extended the economic pain .
You see , the truth is that most Americans are going to end up catching this virus one way or another .
All of the “ shelter-in-place ” orders have temporarily slowed down the spread of this coronavirus , but once they are lifted it is inevitable that we will see new waves of people becoming infected .
And if you think that a vaccine will be the golden ticket that gets us out of this mess , you might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there has never been a successful vaccine for any coronavirus .
Of course it is possible that scientists could come up with something this time around , but if the virus mutates significantly that could render any potential vaccine absolutely useless .
In the days ahead , there will be a tremendous amount of debate about the correct way to fight this virus , but meanwhile the U.S. economy will continue to deteriorate .
In fact , Reuters is reporting that economists are now projecting that the U.S. economy is contracting “ at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” … Yesterday , I documented the fact that we are in the midst of the largest tsunami of job losses in U.S. history by a very wide margin .
In fact , we are absolutely obliterating the old records , and that truly puts us in unchartered territory .

They say the massive fiscal package will likely provide little cushion for the economy .
“ The economy is in a downward spiral where job losses beget job losses and the federal government emergency relief checks will not be enough to turn the tide , ” said Chris Rupkey , chief economist at MUFG in New York .
“ The recovery is looking less V-shaped by the day as the deeper we fall , the harder it will be for the nation to climb back out of this deep hole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The worst is yet to come.
” As areas around the country start “ reopening for business ” , some of the jobs that were lost will come back .
But the truth is that millions of those jobs are gone permanently , and large numbers of the businesses that were closed down will never open again .
For the foreseeable future , a lot of Americans are going to avoid going to restaurants , bars , movie theaters , shopping malls and other businesses that require close human interaction .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Angeles Times says that for the next few years we need to accept the fact that the world “ will be totally different than what we are used to ” … “ The world that we are going to live in for at least the next two to three years will be totally different than what we are used to , ” said Sung Won Sohn , president of SS Economics and professor at Loyola Marymount University .

And if you think that a vaccine will be the golden ticket that gets us out of this mess, you might want to reconsider that belief, because there has never been a successful vaccine for any coronavirus. Of course it is possible that scientists could come up with something this time around, but if the virus mutates significantly that could render any potential vaccine absolutely useless.
In the days ahead, there will be a tremendous amount of debate about the correct way to fight this virus, but meanwhile the U.S. economy will continue to deteriorate.
In fact, Reuters is reporting that economists are now projecting that the U.S. economy is contracting “at its sharpest pace since World War Two”…
The deepening economic slump was also amplified by other data on Thursday showing manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region plunged to levels last seen in 1980 and homebuilding tumbling by the most in 36 years in March. The reports followed dismal reports on Wednesday of a record drop in retail sales in March and the biggest decline in factory output since 1946. Economists are predicting the economy, which they believe is already in recession, contracted in the first quarter at its sharpest pace since World War Two.
Yesterday, I documented the fact that we are in the midst of the largest tsunami of job losses in U.S. history by a very wide margin.
In fact, we are absolutely obliterating the old records, and that truly puts us in unchartered territory. And as bad as things have already gotten, one prominent expert told Reuters that “the worst is yet to come”…
Economists are estimating the economy contracted as much as 10.8% in the first quarter, which would be the steepest drop in gross domestic product since 1947. They say the massive fiscal package will likely provide little cushion for the economy. “The economy is in a downward spiral where job losses beget job losses and the federal government emergency relief checks will not be enough to turn the tide,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at MUFG in New York. “The recovery is looking less V-shaped by the day as the deeper we fall, the harder it will be for the nation to climb back out of this deep hole the pandemic has dug for the economy. The worst is yet to come.”
As areas around the country start “reopening for business”, some of the jobs that were lost will come back.
But the truth is that millions of those jobs are gone permanently, and large numbers of the businesses that were closed down will never open again.
For the foreseeable future, a lot of Americans are going to avoid going to restaurants, bars, movie theaters, shopping malls and other businesses that require close human interaction. One expert that was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times says that for the next few years we need to accept the fact that the world “will be totally different than what we are used to”…
“The world that we are going to live in for at least the next two to three years will be totally different than what we are used to,” said Sung Won Sohn, president of SS Economics and professor at Loyola Marymount University. “Because of the psychological shock that we have experienced, we are going to be more cautious, and we will probably spend less and save more, and we will have fewer contacts with other individuals,” he said. “We are going to be suspicious about things, [such as] whether people we are meeting have the virus and will the economy fall back down again.”
The fear that this pandemic has created is going to be with us for a very long time, and it is going to cause enormous shifts in economic behavior even after the U.S. starts “reopening”.
In an environment like this, very few people are buying vehicles, the housing market is already imploding all over the nation, and retailers are having a very difficult time envisioning any sort of a positive future for their industry at this point.
But at least we will all be getting big, fat socialist bailout checks from the government, right?
Actually, they won’t be that big, and for most Americans the checks will only get them through about one month.
So once that money is gone, will the federal government send us another round of “universal basic income” checks?
Now that they have gone down this rabbit hole, the federal government is in danger of sparking civil unrest if they don’t keep the checks coming. In fact, Jim Rickards is entirely convinced that large scale “social disorder” is on the way…
Looting, burglary and violence in the midst of a state of emergency are the shape of things to come. The veneer of civilization is paper-thin and easily torn. Most people don’t realize how fragile it is. But they’re going to learn that lesson, I’m afraid. Expect social disorder to get worse long before it gets better.
Unfortunately, Rickards is right on point, and I have also been warning about “great civil unrest” for a very long time. The delicately balanced debt-fueled prosperity that we had been enjoying for so many years has now been shattered, and things are going to get really ugly in this country.
And this coronavirus pandemic is not going away any time soon. Over the last 24 hours, the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has jumped by more than 30,000 and the death toll has risen by more than 2,400 even though most of the nation is currently shut down.
Ending the lockdowns will give a boost to the economy, but it will also cause the virus to start spreading faster, and once that happens we could see another round of lockdowns.
In the end, our battle with COVID-19 will not be over until the virus has swept through most of the population, and we are not going to reach that point for quite a while.

Keep in mind that Facebook, not the people on it, but the company, is now violating federal law all over the place in their business practices. They are also a part of what is now the mainstream media in attempts to silence dissenting voices, especially when it comes to telling the truth about coronavirus and COVID-19, as well as vaccines. They continually send out their self-appointed, paid “fact checkers,” who often don’t even read the articles they are claiming are fake in order to stifle distribution of truthful, accurate reports. Now, they’ve been busted putting out ads with a family photo claiming the entire family died from coronavirus, and then the mom discovered what Facebook did.
Here’s the report from WRDW, a CBS affiliate:
A Facebook ad for a company selling face masks claimed all but one member of a Los Angeles family died from COVID-19, but the story, which used a real family’s photos, isn’t true.
Mother Sara Ancich says a professional photo her family took for their holiday card eight years ago showed up in a Facebook ad for FilterMax face masks.
The ad claimed she and her entire family had died, except for the youngest son, after contracting COVID-19 at a church service.
Is anyone else smelling a major lawsuit? I am.
Here’s the photograph used in the ad.
“Who would have the audacity to clearly not know a family and type that they had died?” Ancich said. “It’s on the forefront of everybody’s mind in the news and everything and how quickly it is taking lives. It could so, so clearly be true to people.”
WBTV added:
FilterMax also claimed in the ad that it’s the most efficient respirator on the market and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but the FDA says that’s not true. The ad features video of a teenager, falsely presented as the surviving member of the Ancich family.
“I am curious about the boy in the video, too. Where’s he in this? Does he know that he’s out there?” Ancich said.

Ancich says she tried reporting the video to Facebook, but it kept popping up in her feed. She says she hasn’t posted the photo on social media in years, but a reverse image search on Google reveals the photo is on several Pinterest boards for examples of family photos.
“It was upsetting. It’s violating,” she said. “I don’t know how I could have prevented this, or I would have.”
I’m sure it was, and now it’s time that Facebook and the advertiser were held accountable for their lies.
The company had several versions of the lies about that family, all to make a buck.
And this comes as the feds are lying about coronavirus, the states are lying about death tolls, and they are all padding their wallets at our expense while infringing all over our liberties.
While Facebook claims to be cracking down on ads that sell hand sanitizer , face masks , wipes and COVID-19 tests, isn’t that a bit totalitarian? Why, yes, yes it is, but that is the way Zuckerburg and company play.
Some companies selling those products don’t like in their advertising and so, why should they be punished for the lies of other companies? They shouldn’t, but Facebook and the company that used the family’s picture without permission to promote a lie should be held accountable and pay handsomely for it.

Treasonous Senator Lindsey Graham: If Bill Gates Was In Charge Of WHO, I’d Support More Funding For Them
My senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, is another one of those that needs to be ousted from DC, brought home, tried and convicted for his treason against the people of South Carolina and the united States. As we have pointed out and documented time and again, he was complicit in funding, training and helping to arm the Islamic jihadis in Syria that eventually became the Islamic State (ISIS), and now, though he supports President Donald Trump’s decision to block funding for the World Health Organization (WHO), he also said if someone like the psychopath Bill Gates was in charge of it, he would support more funding!
Here’s the relevant tweets.
“The current WHO leadership has proven to be incompetent and shown overwhelming evidence of China bias. Cutting off funding to the WHO at this time is the right move,” tweeted Graham.
Well, yeah! It should have never received American money in the first place because it is unconstitutional.
However, he followed it up by not citing the Constitution, but pointing to the man all of these politicians and bureaucrats are pointing to, Bill Gates.
“I have great respect for @BillGates and his work in the public health arena. If someone like Bill Gates were in charge of the WHO I would gladly support increased funding, but I have lost all confidence in the current WHO leadership and capabilities,” Graham tweeted.

Bill Gates pretty much runs WHO. He has dumped a whopping $250 million into it recently, and a portion of that, $150 million, was pitched in following Trump’s defending of WHO, according to Reuters.
Remember, Bill Gates’ charity is not so charitable, it’s about making money.
As Alan MacLeod writes:
Firstly, if Gates is so committed to giving his money away, why does he keep getting richer? This is not a trivial question: his net worth has increased from $75 billion in March 2016 to a staggering $106 billion today, according to Forbes Magazine, an over 40 percent increase in three years alone.
Lee Camp, a political comedian who covers topics like rampant inequality on his show, Redacted Tonight, told MintPress News:
It is a sickness of our system that billionaires even exist. The UN estimates it would take 30 billion dollars to end world hunger per year. Gates or Bezos could end world hunger for multiple years. We can’t even comprehend that level of wealth. It’s sociopathic. So I’m not saying Gates doesn’t do good things sometimes, but he should not be viewed as a hero. All billionaires should be viewed as sick in the head. They need mental health professionals to work on them before it’s too late for humankind.”
Linsey McGoey, Professor of Sociology at the University of Essex, UK, and author of No Such Thing as a Free Gift: The Gates Foundation and the Price of Philanthropy , is profoundly skeptical of philanthropy as a whole, claiming it can actually sometimes harm democracy in the long run: “Philanthropy can and is being used deliberately to divert attention away from different forms of economic exploitation that underpin global inequality today” she told MintPress News,
The new ‘philanthrocapitalism’ threatens democracy by increasing the power of the corporate sector at the expense of the public sector organizations, which increasingly face budget squeezes, in part by excessively remunerating for-profit organizations to deliver public services that could be delivered more cheaply without private sector involvement.”
Thus, huge donations give Gates enormous power over the education, health and social policies of entire countries.
Where do Bill’s billions go?
As Foreign Affairs noted, “few policy initiatives or normative standards set by the World Health Organization are announced before they have been casually, unofficially vetted by Gates Foundation staff.” In this sense, his wealth is extraordinarily anti-democratic, giving him veto power over the decisions and directions of organizations that should be collectively made by the highest representatives of the world’s population, not by one very rich man. And Gates is far from omnipotent, holding many of the patronizing assumptions about developing countries and how best to organize the world that one would expect a rich American tech geek to hold.
McGoey spells out the problem with this corporate attitude to development:
The Gates Foundation has spent twenty years relentlessly championing ‘business solutions’ to inequality and poverty. Through this corporate approach, Mr. Gates personally and the Gates Foundation more generally have enhanced the power and clout of corporations at every level of decision-making, at the regional, national and international level. The Gates Foundation has helped make philanthropy a handmaiden to corporate power rather than helped to empower the non-profit sector to act as a check on corporate profiteering and abuses of power.”
MacLeod goes on to provide examples of his claims.
Then, there is the global agenda being pushed on everyone involving vaccines and guess who is at the center of that?
This is exactly part of the reason for a new forum being convened with experts from all over the world to counter the lying narrative we are given in the mainstream media and un-American politicians like Lindsey Graham.
And let’s not forget the heritage of Bill Gates here.
From my perspective, the only thing Bill Gates needs to head if the end of a rope for his criminal activities against not only the people of the US, but those of the world.
Lindsey Graham’s support for Gates tells you that he should be there right beside him.

“ No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade ’ s allegation , ” the article insisted .
“ The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden , beyond the hugs , kisses , and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.
” Then that awkward paragraph with its mix of admissions and denials went down the memory hole .
The same Lisa Lerer who tackled Reade ’ s allegations had sat on a PBS panel which had previously discussed Biden ’ s misbehavior with women , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time , Biden hadn ’ t yet entered the race , and Lerer opined that the Democrat positions on “ standards around gender and consent ” had shifted and that Biden had to “ get right on those issues with where the party is now.
” But now that Biden is the nominee , Lerer suddenly has never heard of a pattern of misconduct .
Last year , Sydney Ember had co-written a New York Times article titled , “ Biden ’ s Tactile Politics Threaten His Return in the # MeToo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he was running and the story mentioned that , “ two more women told The New York Times that the former vice president ’ s touches made them uncomfortable.
” The pattern of misconduct that Ember and the New York Times had reported on in 2019 , had somehow vanished in 2020 .
In 2019 , Ember had written that , “ the list of women coming forward is growing.
” Now they ’ re all gone .
Back then , Ember had told the story of “ Caitlyn Caruso , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” who described how “ Mr .
Biden rested his hand on her thigh — even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort ” at an “ event on sexual assault at the University of Nevada , Las Vegas.
” Ember and Lerer were not only aware of Biden ’ s “ pattern of misconduct ” , but they had discussed it in their line of work before Biden had entered the race .
Now that he ’ s the nominee , there ’ s no pattern .
Before Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fossil who might weigh the field down .
Now that he ’ s the nominee , the New York Times , Ember , and Lerer have to bury his accusers out on West 41st Street .
But the Reade story and the response to it showcases the larger hypocrisy of the # MeToo movement .
Reade was first interviewed by Katie Halper , a writer for Jacobin magazine , and then was followed up by an article at The Intercept .
Both are fanatical pro-Bernie outfits .
Halper had previously written a Jacobin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Biden .
Of course , Halper is an anti-Biden shill for Bernie .
The tawdry state of the # MeToo movement has reduced it to three women trading accusations and denials of sexual assault on behalf of two old men and their respective male bosses , A.G. Sulzberger , the publisher of the family business that is the New York Times , and Bhaskar Sunkara , the publisher of the Jacobin , and the former vice-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America .
The # MeToo movement exhausted its obvious targets , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cosby , and after taking down a string of media second bananas , became a purely partisan weapon to be wielded against Republicans .
At the New Yorker , Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow pushed Deborah Ramirez ’ s smears of Justice Kavanaugh , before Mayer turned around and tried to rehabilitate Al Franken by smearing his accusers in the same publication .
The hashtags of the # MeToo movement were a farce .
The central defense of Franken supporters had been that his first and most famous accuser had become a conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also accused Franken was carefully overlooked .
# BelieveAllWomen had become “ Believe all Democrat women when they accuse Republicans.
” Not all women .
Not all Democrat women .
Just Democrat women who accuse Republicans .
The # MeToo movement had begun as a revolution against abuse and ended in the same partisan weaponization of sexual harassment in the nineties that embraced Anita Hill , while dismissing Kathleen Willey , Juanita Broaddrick , and Paula Jones , not based on the facts , but out of pure political cynicism .
The media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything that it touches .
We don ’ t need to believe Reade to dismiss the New York Times hit piece on her as an inevitable political attack .
Ember and Lerer could acknowledge that Biden had touchy problems before he ran , or even before he became the nominee , but not now when he ’ s on the verge of his coronavirus coronation .
We shouldn ’ t believe all women or all men .
And we should never believe the media .
Individual men and women can have a presumption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along under an impossible presumption of dishonesty .
There is a reason why the # MeToo scandal burned hottest and brightest in the media , taking out chunks of 60 Minutes , NPR , and network news operatives .
It ’ s also why the media can ’ t be trusted when it deploys its dueling # MeToo hit pieces and coverups .
The media is a deeply corrupt institution .
Its external fake news mirrors its internal abuses .
The # MeToo movement brought down actual villains , but it was still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t stop being a witch hunt just because there are actual witches .
The # MeToo movement insisted that the problem was more important than the process .
And somehow the media , whose ranks and bosses included some of the worst # MeToo abusers , became the arbiter of whatever process there was .
That ’ s how we ended up with the Kavanaugh lynch mob and the Biden whitewash .
His creepy misbehavior has been documented in countless photos and videos .
But that doesn ’ t mean that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is probably no way to know what really happened between Biden and his former Senate staffer .
Reade filed a criminal complaint against Biden a few days before the New York Times story went live .
It ’ s hard not to believe that she joggled the Old Gray Lady ’ s wrinkled hand .
It ’ s in the hands of the authorities now .
As Americans , we don ’ t want our political system governed by media lynch mobs and witch hunts , by accusations that can not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obligated to believe .
Biden ’ s political future , what there is of it , won ’ t be determined by what really happened in the basement of a Capitol Hill office building some 27 years ago , but by what he does and says now .
And that ’ s the way it should be .
Rep. Clyburn , the top Dem whose endorsement handed Biden a victory in South Carolina and the nomination , who had previously defended Rep. Conyers when he thought his accusers were white , complained that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the # MeToo movement.
” Clyburn argued that Biden was “ just a feeler , toucher kind of guy ” and that his candidate was struggling because he was “ afraid to touch anyone ” .
Social distancing has temporarily cured Biden of his conflict about whether to grope or not to grope on the campaign trail .
But if social distancing ends before the election , the telltale hands may emerge and reveal exactly the kind of man that Gropin ’ Joe really is .

Over two weeks after Tara Reade, a former Biden Senate staffer, accused him of sexually assaulting her, the media finally got around to tackling her and the threat she poses to Biden by calling her a liar.

The same Lisa Lerer who tackled Reade’s allegations had sat on a PBS panel which had previously discussed Biden’s misbehavior with women, including the allegation by Lucy Flores. At the time, Biden hadn’t yet entered the race, and Lerer opined that the Democrat positions on “standards around gender and consent” had shifted and that Biden had to “get right on those issues with where the party is now.”
But now that Biden is the nominee, Lerer suddenly has never heard of a pattern of misconduct.
Last year, Sydney Ember had co-written a New York Times article titled, “Biden’s Tactile Politics Threaten His Return in the #MeToo Era.”
Biden had not yet announced that he was running and the story mentioned that, “two more women told The New York Times that the former vice president’s touches made them uncomfortable.”
The pattern of misconduct that Ember and the New York Times had reported on in 2019, had somehow vanished in 2020.
In 2019, Ember had written that, “the list of women coming forward is growing.” Now they’re all gone.

Ember and Lerer were not only aware of Biden’s “pattern of misconduct”, but they had discussed it in their line of work before Biden had entered the race. Now that he’s the nominee, there’s no pattern.

The #MeToo movement exhausted its obvious targets, known predators like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, and after taking down a string of media second bananas, became a purely partisan weapon to be wielded against Republicans. At the New Yorker, Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow pushed Deborah Ramirez’s smears of Justice Kavanaugh, before Mayer turned around and tried to rehabilitate Al Franken by smearing his accusers in the same publication. The hashtags of the #MeToo movement were a farce.
The central defense of Franken supporters had been that his first and most famous accuser had become a conservative. The feminist choir member who had also accused Franken was carefully overlooked.
#BelieveAllWomen had become “Believe all Democrat women when they accuse Republicans.”
Not all women. Not all Democrat women. Just Democrat women who accuse Republicans.
The #MeToo movement had begun as a revolution against abuse and ended in the same partisan weaponization of sexual harassment in the nineties that embraced Anita Hill, while dismissing Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, and Paula Jones, not based on the facts, but out of pure political cynicism.
The media killed #MeToo just as it kills everything that it touches.
We don’t need to believe Reade to dismiss the New York Times hit piece on her as an inevitable political attack. Ember and Lerer could acknowledge that Biden had touchy problems before he ran, or even before he became the nominee, but not now when he’s on the verge of his coronavirus coronation.
We shouldn’t believe all women or all men. And we should never believe the media.
Individual men and women can have a presumption of honesty, but the media staggers along under an impossible presumption of dishonesty. There is a reason why the #MeToo scandal burned hottest and brightest in the media, taking out chunks of 60 Minutes, NPR, and network news operatives. It’s also why the media can’t be trusted when it deploys its dueling #MeToo hit pieces and coverups.
The media is a deeply corrupt institution. Its external fake news mirrors its internal abuses.
The #MeToo movement brought down actual villains, but it was still a lynch mob. A witch hunt doesn’t stop being a witch hunt just because there are actual witches. The #MeToo movement insisted that the problem was more important than the process. And somehow the media, whose ranks and bosses included some of the worst #MeToo abusers, became the arbiter of whatever process there was.
That’s how we ended up with the Kavanaugh lynch mob and the Biden whitewash.
Is Joe Biden a predator?
His creepy misbehavior has been documented in countless photos and videos. But that doesn’t mean that Reade’s claims are true. There is probably no way to know what really happened between Biden and his former Senate staffer. Reade filed a criminal complaint against Biden a few days before the New York Times story went live. It’s hard not to believe that she joggled the Old Gray Lady’s wrinkled hand.
It’s in the hands of the authorities now.
As Americans, we don’t want our political system governed by media lynch mobs and witch hunts, by accusations that cannot be challenged and by accusers whom we are obligated to believe.
Biden’s political future, what there is of it, won’t be determined by what really happened in the basement of a Capitol Hill office building some 27 years ago, but by what he does and says now.
And that’s the way it should be.
Rep. Clyburn, the top Dem whose endorsement handed Biden a victory in South Carolina and the nomination, who had previously defended Rep. Conyers when he thought his accusers were white, complained that Biden had “become a victim of the #MeToo movement.”
Clyburn argued that Biden was “just a feeler, toucher kind of guy” and that his candidate was struggling because he was “afraid to touch anyone”. Social distancing has temporarily cured Biden of his conflict about whether to grope or not to grope on the campaign trail. But if social distancing ends before the election, the telltale hands may emerge and reveal exactly the kind of man that Gropin’ Joe really is.

‘Allahu Akbar!’ BBC Broadcasts Islamic Call To Prayer For The First Time – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Global Village Space reported Wednesday that “ in a first , BBC begins the broadcast of Muslim prayers on its network as mosques shut down across Britain , part of the extensive measures against coronavirus.
” In today ’ s Britain , it is extraordinarily unlikely that the BBC will stop broadcasting the adhan , the Islamic call to prayer , once the coronavirus pandemic is over .
A cultural line has been crossed .
And the implications of this , beyond the expected hosannas from the usual proponents of globalism and multiculturalism , are ominous .
According to Global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 5:50 am broadcasts every week on Friday from 14 local radio stations of BBC .
The imam recites verses from the Holy Quran and quotes of Holy Prophet before delivering the sermon and leading the listeners in prayers .
The program is titled , ‘ Islamic Reflections ’ .
The arrangements have been made to facilitate the Muslim community to the run-up to the month of Ramadan till the end of April.
” The BBC is no doubt thrilled to do this , as it demonstrates how “ inclusive ” the mega-network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
Chris Burns , the head of BBC Local Radio , was dead chuffed , saying : “ Local radio is all about connecting communities , and we hope these weekly reflections will go some way to helping Muslims feel a sense of community while they are isolating.
” BBC CWR presenter Phil Upton added : “ Ramadan is just a few weeks away and I appreciate that for many that ’ s a big void to fill with as many as one and a half hours of your day , especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , spent in your local mosque .
With many local mosques being closed because of the coronavirus outbreak there ’ s an overwhelming sadness with the loss of your spiritual connection that can be gained from congregational prayers , so we are trying to fill the void in some small way with Islamic reflections.
” Well , that ’ s wonderful , but when the BBC broadcasts the Islamic call to prayer , what exactly is it broadcasting ?
The adhan , prayed in Arabic , goes like this : Allah is greater @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times .
I testify that there is no God but Allah ( Ashhadu anna la ila ill Allah ) ; intoned twice .
I testify that Mohammed is Allah ’ s Prophet ( Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah ) ; intoned twice .
Come to prayer ( Hayya alas salah ) ; intoned twice .
Come to security/salvation ( Hayya alal falah ) ; intoned twice .
Allah is greater ( Allahu akbar ) ; intoned twice .
There is no God but Allah ( La ilah ill Allah ) ; intoned once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the British Queen , who resigned his position in protest against a Qur ’ an reading in a Scottish church , observed that “ the Muslim call to prayer is a dramatic piece of Islamic triumphalism .
It proclaims Islam ’ s superiority over all other religions , and in so doing casts Jesus in the role of a charlatan and a liar .
The Muslim god , Allah , is unknowable and has no son .
Jesus was , therefore , a fraud in claiming He and the Father are one.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ broadcasting agency of an ostensibly Christian land , really wise to broadcast a declaration of the superiority of another faith , one that directs its adherents to make war against Christians and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers ( cf .
Qur ’ an 9:29 ) ?
Is the BBC wise to broadcast the cry “ Allahu akbar , ” beloved of jihad terrorists the world over ?
Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta wrote this in his letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission : “ When the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not want to go back to this world .
Shout , ‘ Allahu Akbar , ’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.
” This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer , Nidal Malik Hasan , shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009 , and why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are about to die .
But in Britain today , any such concerns will be dismissed out of hand as “ Islamophobic.
” BBC officials , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doubt certain that Muslim communities in the country will be grateful that the BBC is broadcasting Islamic prayers , and will redouble their efforts to become loyal , productive British citizens , marching together with non-Muslims in Britain into the glorious multicultural future .
That ’ s the way it will work out .
Isn ’ t it ?
No Muslims will take seriously the adhan ’ s declarations of Islamic superiority and heed the Qur ’ an ’ s calls to wage war against unbelievers .
Will they ?
In multiculti Britain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !

Global Village Space reported Wednesday that “in a first, BBC begins the broadcast of Muslim prayers on its network as mosques shut down across Britain, part of the extensive measures against coronavirus.” In today’s Britain, it is extraordinarily unlikely that the BBC will stop broadcasting the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, once the coronavirus pandemic is over. A cultural line has been crossed. And the implications of this, beyond the expected hosannas from the usual proponents of globalism and multiculturalism, are ominous.
According to Global Village Space, “different imams lead the 5:50 am broadcasts every week on Friday from 14 local radio stations of BBC. The imam recites verses from the Holy Quran and quotes of Holy Prophet before delivering the sermon and leading the listeners in prayers. The program is titled, ‘Islamic Reflections’. The arrangements have been made to facilitate the Muslim community to the run-up to the month of Ramadan till the end of April.”
The BBC is no doubt thrilled to do this, as it demonstrates how “inclusive” the mega-network is, and how welcoming British society is. Chris Burns, the head of BBC Local Radio, was dead chuffed, saying: “Local radio is all about connecting communities, and we hope these weekly reflections will go some way to helping Muslims feel a sense of community while they are isolating.”
BBC CWR presenter Phil Upton added: “Ramadan is just a few weeks away and I appreciate that for many that’s a big void to fill with as many as one and a half hours of your day, especially in the evening, in Ramadan month, spent in your local mosque. With many local mosques being closed because of the coronavirus outbreak there’s an overwhelming sadness with the loss of your spiritual connection that can be gained from congregational prayers, so we are trying to fill the void in some small way with Islamic reflections.”
Well, that’s wonderful, but when the BBC broadcasts the Islamic call to prayer, what exactly is it broadcasting? The adhan, prayed in Arabic, goes like this:
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned four times.
I testify that there is no God but Allah (Ashhadu anna la ila ill Allah); intoned twice.
I testify that Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet (Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah); intoned twice.
Come to prayer (Hayya alas salah); intoned twice.
Come to security/salvation (Hayya alal falah); intoned twice.
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned twice.
There is no God but Allah (La ilah ill Allah); intoned once.
Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former Chaplain to the British Queen, who resigned his position in protest against a Qur’an reading in a Scottish church, observed that “the Muslim call to prayer is a dramatic piece of Islamic triumphalism. It proclaims Islam’s superiority over all other religions, and in so doing casts Jesus in the role of a charlatan and a liar. The Muslim god, Allah, is unknowable and has no son. Jesus was, therefore, a fraud in claiming He and the Father are one.”
Is the BBC, the government-funded broadcasting agency of an ostensibly Christian land, really wise to broadcast a declaration of the superiority of another faith, one that directs its adherents to make war against Christians and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29)?
Is the BBC wise to broadcast the cry “Allahu akbar,” beloved of jihad terrorists the world over? Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta wrote this in his letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission: “When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are about to die.
But in Britain today, any such concerns will be dismissed out of hand as “Islamophobic.” BBC officials, and the British government, are no doubt certain that Muslim communities in the country will be grateful that the BBC is broadcasting Islamic prayers, and will redouble their efforts to become loyal, productive British citizens, marching together with non-Muslims in Britain into the glorious multicultural future. That’s the way it will work out. Isn’t it? No Muslims will take seriously the adhan’s declarations of Islamic superiority and heed the Qur’an’s calls to wage war against unbelievers. Will they? In multiculti Britain today, such an idea is inconceivable!

New Jersey Governor On “ Stay At Home ” Orders : “ I Wasn ’ t Thinking Of The Bill Of Rights ” Politicians have started to admit that they don ’ t take basic human rights into account when barking commands they expect people to follow .
If this isn ’ t more evidence that we should nullify their commands by going about our business and ignoring their insistence on tyranny , then I don ’ t what is .
Politicians are stopping at nothing to force authoritarian controls over the masses .
New Jersey governor admitted to Tucker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human rights into account when proving himself a tyrant .
On Wednesday ’ s broadcast of the Fox News Channel ’ s “ Tucker Carlson Tonight , ” New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy ( D ) stated that he “ wasn ’ t thinking of the Bill of Rights ” when he implemented his state ’ s stay-at-home order , but that he did consult with legal counsel , according to a report by Breitbart .
Legality and morality are two different things .
Just because something is legal doesn ’ t necessarily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is right does not necessarily mean it ’ s legal .
The sooner Americans realize this and take their power back from these tyrants , the sooner we will be free as humans were always intended to be .
Murphy began by defending his power grab and tyrannical order by arguing that there won ’ t be an economic recovery until there ’ s a “ complete or near-complete healthcare recovery.
” And that more testing in the state would be helpful in reopening .
The discussion then turned back to the restrictions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked , “ By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights in issuing this order ?
How do you have the power to do that ?
” Murphy responded , “ That ’ s above my pay grade , Tucker .
So , I wasn ’ t thinking of the Bill of Rights when we did this.
” Murphy continued that he looked at science and data on social distancing .
–Breitbart Government officials are losing power quickly as Americans begin to realize they never had the power they assumed they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show these tyrants that they don ’ t control us is to push back by going about our business .
Tyrants fall when people cease to obey their commands .
It ’ s been time to push back for weeks now .
The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing It is past time that good people start doing something .

Politicians have started to admit that they don’t take basic human rights into account when barking commands they expect people to follow. If this isn’t more evidence that we should nullify their commands by going about our business and ignoring their insistence on tyranny, then I don’t what is.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-04-18--Florida:  Man Freed Under “Stand Your Ground” Law After Shooting Cops He Thought Were Kidnappers

Port Saint John , FL — The Free Thought Project has reported on multiple instances in which police officers invade a home and are shot in the process .
Thousands of these no-knock raids take place across the country every single year , most of which are over alleged possession of substances deemed illegal by the state .
But what happens when people defend their homes against these home invasions ?
Well , as the following case illustrates , sometimes justice can be served .
In 2015 , John DeRossett , 60 , was arrested for trying to kill three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , after a long legal battle , this former security guard has been freed under Florida ’ s “ stand your ground law.
” DeRossett ’ s case is a rare one as he was not acquitted .
The ruling this week means there should have never been an arrest in the first place .
“ The appellate decision is better than a jury acquittal .
An acquittal only means ‘ not guilty.
’ This order means that John is innocent , that his actions were justified , and that he never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place .
It ’ s a total vindication , ” said DeRossett ’ s Orlando-based attorney , Michael Panella .
, ” .
.
.
Great , great .
Thank God .
Thank Jesus .
Thank everybody , thank you .
You just don ’ t know , how it feels , you know ?
I ’ m trying to hold the tears back , ” DeRossett said in a statement issued to FLORIDA TODAY .
Naturally , the idea of letting a man free for shooting a cop didn ’ t resonate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The state attorney ’ s office issued a statement disagreeing with the decision to free DeRossett .
The “ criminal activity ” referred in the above statement was the fact that DeRossett ’ s niece , Mary Ellis DeRossett , 47 , entered into consensual exchanges with willing participants who traded money for sex .
In short , Mary Ellis was a prostitute .
As TFTP has previously reported , in the Land of the Free , it is against the law to get paid to have sex , unless that sex is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ internet , and taxed .
One of the least talked about systems of oppression in the US is that of persecuting prostitutes .
When referencing prostitution , we are talking about the mutually beneficial exchange of sexual favors for money by two or more consenting partners ; not forced human trafficking .
Just like the war on drugs creates crime by pushing the unending demand for illicit substances into the black market , the war on the sex trade creates crime in the same manner .
As DeRossett ’ s case illustrates , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dangerous as cops are told they must kidnap and cage people for engaging in this entirely consensual activity .
Mary Ellis DeRossett was not being trafficked .
She was doing with her own body as she saw fit .
Ironically enough , while cops will kidnap and cage women for doing what they want with their own body in regard to selling sex , had DeRossett wanted to have an abortion , cops would have been completely fine with her and the other 70,000 women who end their pregnancies each year in Florida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her choice ’ , however , DeRossett had sex and so cops had to do their jobs .
On that unfortunate August night , cops descended on the DeRossett residence to kidnap and cage Mary Ellis for engaging in commerce unapproved by the state .
As her kidnappers — the police — were attempting to get her into custody , Mary Ellis yelled for help , and her uncle , John DeRossett responded while armed .
Because the people trying to kidnap his niece wore badges , instead of being hailed as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kidnappers , DeRossett himself was kidnapped and spent the next five years in a cage — until now .
Luckily for John , he will no longer suffer for defending himself and his family .
Mary Ellis , however , was not exonerated .
Instead , she was sentenced to 6 months in a cage for doing what she wanted with her own body and harming absolutely no one .

Port Saint John, FL — The Free Thought Project has reported on multiple instances in which police officers invade a home and are shot in the process. Thousands of these no-knock raids take place across the country every single year, most of which are over alleged possession of substances deemed illegal by the state. But what happens when people defend their homes against these home invasions? Well, as the following case illustrates, sometimes justice can be served.
In 2015, John DeRossett, 60, was arrested for trying to kill three Brevard County sheriff’s deputies. However, after a long legal battle, this former security guard has been freed under Florida’s “stand your ground law.”
DeRossett’s case is a rare one as he was not acquitted. The ruling this week means there should have never been an arrest in the first place.
“The appellate decision is better than a jury acquittal. An acquittal only means ‘not guilty.’ This order means that John is innocent, that his actions were justified, and that he never should have been arrested in the first place. It’s a total vindication,” said DeRossett’s Orlando-based attorney, Michael Panella.
, ” . . . Great, great. Thank God. Thank Jesus. Thank everybody, thank you. You just don’t know, how it feels, you know? I’m trying to hold the tears back,” DeRossett said in a statement issued to FLORIDA TODAY.
Naturally, the idea of letting a man free for shooting a cop didn’t resonate well in the law enforcement community. The state attorney’s office issued a statement disagreeing with the decision to free DeRossett.
Our law enforcement officers risk their lives daily to protect our community. This ruling adds to that risk by extending protection to those who turn a blind eye to criminal activity, even within their own home.
The “criminal activity” referred in the above statement was the fact that DeRossett’s niece, Mary Ellis DeRossett, 47, entered into consensual exchanges with willing participants who traded money for sex. In short, Mary Ellis was a prostitute.
As TFTP has previously reported, in the Land of the Free, it is against the law to get paid to have sex, unless that sex is filmed, distributed on DVD or the internet, and taxed. One of the least talked about systems of oppression in the US is that of persecuting prostitutes.
When referencing prostitution, we are talking about the mutually beneficial exchange of sexual favors for money by two or more consenting partners; not forced human trafficking.
Just like the war on drugs creates crime by pushing the unending demand for illicit substances into the black market, the war on the sex trade creates crime in the same manner. As DeRossett’s case illustrates, it also makes police/prostitute interactions, incredibly dangerous as cops are told they must kidnap and cage people for engaging in this entirely consensual activity.
Mary Ellis DeRossett was not being trafficked. She was doing with her own body as she saw fit. Ironically enough, while cops will kidnap and cage women for doing what they want with their own body in regard to selling sex, had DeRossett wanted to have an abortion, cops would have been completely fine with her and the other 70,000 women who end their pregnancies each year in Florida. Instead of ‘her body, her choice’, however, DeRossett had sex and so cops had to do their jobs.
On that unfortunate August night, cops descended on the DeRossett residence to kidnap and cage Mary Ellis for engaging in commerce unapproved by the state. As her kidnappers — the police — were attempting to get her into custody, Mary Ellis yelled for help, and her uncle, John DeRossett responded while armed.
As the Star Banner reports:
DeRossett’s attorney’s argued that he did not know who the men were confronting his niece that night and that he was responding to her screams for help at the front door. Gunfire ensued and Deputy Casey Smith was shot in the lower abdomen. He recovered from his injuries. Both Ellis — a convicted prostitute known as ‘The Cougar’ — and DeRossett, then a security guard at Port Canveral suffered minor gunshot injuries, reports show.
Because the people trying to kidnap his niece wore badges, instead of being hailed as a hero for stopping his niece’s kidnappers, DeRossett himself was kidnapped and spent the next five years in a cage — until now. Luckily for John, he will no longer suffer for defending himself and his family.
Mary Ellis, however, was not exonerated. Instead, she was sentenced to 6 months in a cage for doing what she wanted with her own body and harming absolutely no one.

P.S. The elitists are getting desperate. They are desperately trying to scrub an interview David Icke did with London Real‘s Brian Rose. Rose refuses to allow Icke to be silenced even as the elitists try to prevent the interview from getting out. You can watch the entire interview with Icke here. If the elitists are trying this hard to hide an interview, then it isn’t because it’s “fake” it’s because it exposes them for who and what they really are.
Rose, who was on the side of the lockdowns before beginning the interview with Icke can now see that there are people who want ultimate power and control. He’s been silenced for the crime of getting information out to the public that the elitists don’t want anyone to know. But he’s standing up.
And we should all be standing up to the draconian tyrannical orders of the government and the elitists who think they have the right to rule over everyone.

WASHINGTON , DC — The Rutherford Institute is pushing back against an effort by police to chill constitutionally-protected civil rights protests through the use of retaliatory lawsuits .

The Rutherford Institute ’ s amicus brief in Mckesson v. Doe

WASHINGTON, DC — The Rutherford Institute is pushing back against an effort by police to chill constitutionally-protected civil rights protests through the use of retaliatory lawsuits. In filing an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Mckesson v. Doe, Rutherford Institute attorneys are challenging a ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that allows law enforcement officials to hold protest organizers financially liable when officers get hurt (accidental or otherwise) while carrying out their duties at a constitutionally-protected demonstration, even when the organizers themselves did nothing to cause the injury.
Incredibly, the lower court reasoned that organizers of a protest should be held responsible for engaging in activity that merely has the potential to involve police or require their presence, thereby exposing them to possible injuries.
The case arose after a police officer, positioned near a group that was protesting police brutality in front of police headquarters, was hit by a projectile thrown by an unknown, unidentified individual.
The injured officer sued one of the event organizers, DeRay Mckesson, for more than $75,000, despite the fact that Mckesson engaged in no acts of violence and did not incite or condone violence by others.
Attorneys Erin Glenn Busby, Lisa R. Eskow, and Michael F. Sturley of the University of Texas School of Law Supreme Court Clinic assisted in advancing the legal arguments in Mckesson.
“Police have mastered the art of the double standard: they don’t want to be held accountable for their own misconduct or that of their fellow officers, but they want to throw the book at anyone who peacefully engages in constitutionally protected activities if that person is nearby when a cop gets hurt on the job,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People . “This is yet another Machiavellian attempt by the government to prevent Americans from exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully speak truth to power.”
In July 2016, activists took to the streets in outrage after two Baton Rouge police officers shot 37-year-old Alton Sterling six times at close range while the man was pinned to the ground.
The incident, which was recorded by bystanders and shared on social media, sparked outrage in the city’s African-American community.
On July 9, activists demonstrated in front of the Baton Rouge Police Department’s headquarters to protest the escalating police violence directed at black men and women nationwide and demand accountability and reforms.
During the protest, DeRay Mckesson, one of the event organizers, engaged in no acts of violence and did not incite or condone violence by others.
While the demonstration began peacefully, enraged protesters began throwing objects at police who were massed nearby preparing to make arrests.
One officer was struck and injured by a rock thrown by an unknown protester. The injured officer brought a personal injury lawsuit against Mckesson and the “Black Lives Matter” movement, seeking more than $75,000, claiming they knew or should have known that violence would erupt during the demonstration.
The lawsuit was dismissed by the trial court, which ruled that Mckesson was engaged in constitutionally protected activity and there was no allegation that he authorized or directed any violent actions.
On appeal, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit, ruling that Mckesson could be liable for the officer’s injuries because Mckesson should have known police might respond to the protest, inciting violence by protesters.
In its brief, The Rutherford Institute warns against allowing police to weaponize personal injury lawsuits in order to chill First Amendment activities.
