This is the kind of people we are dealing with in America, if it wasn’t so tragic, it would be hilarious. Religious people are the worst people on Earth. They are the main reason nothing good gets accomplished in this world. They block the truth from Humanity every day in a 1000 ways.

2020 has been an incredibly bizarre, tragic, very difficult, and even scary year up to this point, with the pandemic raging and killing 1000s of people every day, and with the economy being destroyed. In America this has many people thinking the hand of “God” is at work. A recent poll said that 65% of Americans think that “GOD” is punishing us. And the worse things get, the more this sort of speculation will heat up.

2020 has really shaken up a large portion of the U.S. population, and all of this shaking ultimately moves our society in a more religious direction. Their thoughts about their false Gods are increasing. “God” is punishing them, and/or “God” will save them.

Right now, COVID-19 is dominating the headlines day after day, and the debates that I have seen on social media platforms, and elsewhere, about this pandemic, have often gotten quite heated.

I knew that many people had extremely passionate opinions about COVID-19, and a large percentage of them are also convinced that “God” is somehow involved. In fact, an Associated Press/NORC survey found that 65 percent of all Americans believe that this pandemic is “a sign from God”, a “punishment from God”, or God is responsible in some way.

Sixty-five percent of Americans say that the novel coronavirus pandemic is a sign from God, telling humanity to change its ways of living. I was not stunned to see a number that high. The “Bible” does tell us that there will be “pestilences” in the last days.

Unfortunately, many Americans are increasingly turning to drugs, alcohol and television during this pandemic. So, it seems “God” is not doing a good job of scaring people.

Also, I don’t think “God” was in that Wuhan lab when this bioweapon was created, and I don’t think “God” had anything to do with Dumb Trump causing this pandemic to spread like wildfire across the USA and the world. And I’m sure “God” will not create a vaccine for it, nor will any human. Prepare for the worst case scenario.

Of course, all of the horrible illness and tragic deaths caused by COVID-19 is the worse thing going on right now, but the total destruction of the economy has to be a close second. This economic depression looks very bad and very dangerous, and could end up costing, with riots and civil war, as many lives as the disease itself.

Even though economic conditions were absolutely horrific during the month of June, most of the mainstream media and Trump and Republicans kept insisting that the U.S. economy was “recovering”, and the stock market kept surging on every hint of good news. But now the “economic recovery” narrative is completely dead, because the numbers clearly show that the U.S. economy is rapidly moving in the wrong direction.

On Thursday, the Labor Department announced that another 1.416 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week. We are talking about a level of unemployment that is absolutely catastrophic. But what is really alarming many analysts is that the number for last week was quite a bit higher than the number for the week before. Many states are rolling out new restrictions and shutting down as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to surge, and this is having a huge impact on economic activity.

For months I have been warning that fear of COVID-19 would prevent economic activity from returning to normal levels for the foreseeable future, and that is precisely what has happened.

Overall, more than 53 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits over the past 18 weeks, and that makes this the biggest spike in unemployment in U.S. history by a very wide margin.

Of course, it isn’t just the employment numbers that are depressingly bad, nearly a quarter of all small businesses in the entire country are closed. And the really bad news is that most of them will never reopen.

60 percent of the restaurants that were initially listed as “temporarily closed” on their site are now classified as permanently closed. Fear of COVID-19 is going to cause a large portion of the population to continue to avoid restaurants for as long as this pandemic persists, and it is becoming clear that it is likely to persist for a long time to come. All of the numbers that I have shared in this article tell us that we are in an economic depression.

Many had hoped that this economic downturn would be short-lived and that a “V-shaped recovery” would commence once the coronavirus lockdowns were lifted. But instead a resurgence of cases has caused new restrictions to be implemented, and economic activity is slowing down again. How wrong were they?

The bottom line is that all of us need to get prepared to weather a long-term economic depression storm that is going to be incredibly painful and dangerous. Who knows where it will lead. I think it could easily lead to poverty riots, Martial Law, the CHIP, civil war, etc.

All of our lives are being turned upside down, and a lot of people are not going to be able to handle what comes next. Prepare for the worst case scenario.

Covid-19 is the outcome of hate politics of two people from different countries.
Religions dismiss this as act of God and God’s punishment
Both politics and religion make people stupid.
This ignorance will lead to more health issues from covid .Although economy is going to be bad ,it is more important to focus on health right now.
In India many wealthy people have died/committed suicide recently on account of covid. All that money or God’s they worshipped didn’t save them.Even people who have to work for a living are surviving by taking
simple precautionary measures.
It is all about being rational and realistic.

Michael,

Fantastic news, President Barack Obama. The Magna Cum Laude of peace missions. Has inadvertently by sub conscience has allowed his mind to unfold and impulsively be receptive to the Pi calculation with an attempt to exemplify his conscience dexterity by….reciting the first 50 digits of (which in fact is π = 4 square root of Φ 3.14460511)….

Someone should tell “Spock”…his logic is wrong. In all fairness, That still doesn’t make him the worst president btw.

I shouldn’t have to say this every time, but whatever I write is always my educated opinion. There is no need for anyone to get upset or angry with any of it. We all have the right to express ourselves, as long as we don’t lie or harm people. Freedom of speech is one of the great freedoms of a free society.

Michael has told me, that more people are reading my comments. I hope you all learn important to you information, and I welcome your comments as well.

As the horrific bioweapon Covid-19 pandemic tragically continues to rage across the nation, with many states reporting record new cases and new deaths, the US economy tragically continues to rapidly decline day by day. The “recovery” that so many Republicans in the nation, including Trump, have declared over and over again would materialize, is no where in sight. There will be no economic recovery people. There will be no cure or effective vaccine coming for the pandemic, so it will continue to perfectly escalate like it was designed to do. As it escalates, the economy will quickly decline. People will stay home, afraid to go out because of the disease. All businesses will fail, except for grocery stores and gas stations. Obviously, without customers, no business can survive.

Our entire economic system is in the process of melting down, but it will take some time for the drama that we are watching to fully play out. Our “leaders” in Washington D.C. and the bureaucrats at the Federal Reserve will keep flooding the system with money in a misguided attempt to fix things, and this will result in exceedingly painful and dangerous inflation.

If the Money Supply increases faster than the real output of goods, then all other things being equal, inflation will occur. If you print more money, the amount of goods doesn’t change. However, if you print money, households will have more cash and more money to spend on goods. If there is more money chasing the same amount of goods, companies and firms will just raise up prices. It’s called greed, and it has been with us forever.

The cost of everything, including essentials such as food, will be going way up, and that means that your money will increasingly become less and less valuable. I certainly noticed this at the grocery store yesterday. Almost all of the prices were up. If you could print your way to prosperity, Venezuela and Zimbabwe would be the wealthiest nations on the entire planet today. At this point, almost everyone in Venezuela is a “millionaire”, but almost everyone is also living in extreme poverty.

When millions of Americans were losing their jobs at the beginning of this pandemic, we were told, mainly by idiot Trump and his gang of idiots, not to worry because the lockdowns were just temporary and virtually all of those workers would be going back to their old jobs once the lockdowns ended. Well, now we are finding out that was not even close to true. Over the last 18 weeks, 53 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits, and most of them are dealing with a permanent job loss. In fact, in my opinion, at least 50% of all job loss is likely to be permanent. 

What that number tells us is that we are facing the worst employment crisis in US history!

Someone is responsible for the pandemic in this country and the destruction of the US economy. As I have mentioned in other comments, it all falls on the head of President Trump. He has bumbled and stumbled, in his perfectly incompetent and unqualified and stupidly stubborn way, from the very beginning with this pandemic. People have foolishly followed his lead, and here we are, facing the end of the USA, as we have known it. Read my other comments on this blog for the details regarding this.

So, what is the truth as to where we are. Obviously, all of those permanently unemployed workers are eventually going to need new jobs, but meanwhile the U.S. economy as a whole is in a free fall that is absolutely shocking and unheard of. There will be no new jobs. The GDP number for the second quarter is REALLY BAD.

• Yelp reported 71,500 businesses that were listed on their site have closed for good since March 1.
• 80% of independent restaurants say they will not survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Nearly half of all small-business members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce lost 100% of their sales or closed down completely.

What a nightmare!

But the second quarter was when the U.S. economy was supposed to come roaring back to life. Right! It’s impossible to have judged the economy any worse. Of course, lead by Trump again. We were told that it would be the greatest economic comeback in our history, but instead the numbers are telling us that the economy is actually starting to rapidly decline once again.

So, as I said, it’s clear that any sort of a “recovery” is not happening.
Instead, it appears that we are quickly sliding into the next chapter of this Great Economic Depression.

With each passing day, more companies are announcing layoffs. And every worker that gets laid off is another American that doesn’t have a paycheck to spend. During the last recession, millions of Americans slid out of the middle class, and we are watching it happen again, but this time it will be much worse.

Our elected “leaders” in Washington D.C. are desperate to do something about this, and almost all of them seem to agree that more socialist programs are the answer. A fifth “stimulus bill” is being put together, and the Urban Institute is warning that if Congress does not hurry we will see the poverty rate in this country rise substantially.

History has shown that wildly printing money doesn’t work, but the U.S. is going down that exact same path, and it isn’t going to be pretty.

Obviously, the Federal Government can’t continue to hand out trillions of free dollars without end. It will end soon, and then 10’s of millions of Americans will be thrown into severe poverty, because the economy will never come back, because the pandemic will continue to rage on. Poverty riots/looting and the burning of cities will take place, which will bring Martial Law, civil war, and the break up of the USA, as the P. have predicted. And you can blame Trump for it all.

Even though things are quite crazy out there right now, this is our window of opportunity, the month of August, to get prepared for the very troubled times that are ahead, because things are not going to be getting any easier from here on out. I expect things to get REALLY bad starting in September with the pandemic spreading through the schools killing 1000s of children, and then much, much worse in November after the election, regardless of who wins. I certainly hope none of you vote for Trump. He is truly mentally ill, incompetent, unqualified, and an extreme danger to the USA and the entire world.

Ok, Chuck, I’m not going to argue with you about Trump. You can argue with Ptaah, he said the following about him:

“Especially in the USA, where Donald Trump, the crazy and powerful man of the state, is continuing the corona catastrophes that he has caused through his incapacity to govern, his megalomania and his devastating machinations that endanger public health, the whole thing is proceeding in an increasingly deadly manner, as is also the case in Brazil through the high-handed President Bolsonaro.

Trump is a sociopathic or psychopathic person, who is completely limited and incapable of feeling compassion for his fellow human beings or any living creature, let alone being able to empathize with others in any way. Trump is absolutely incapable of weighing the consequences of his foolhardy and impudent speeches and his fickle and confused decisions – which he often recalls in a matter of seconds – or his orders and actions, just as he cannot control his confused and pathological airs and graces.

Trump is also fundamentally incapable of defining reality and fiction, and as a result of his stupidity he is slowly but surely destroying the social system and the otherwise already ailing political structure in the USA, as well as in other countries around the world. Effectively, he is the most dangerous man in the world, who provokes and causes all around discord, terror and ruin as well as destruction and war, as well as hundreds of thousands of deaths among the population of the United States of America itself, and this as a result of his pathological inability to think, his stupidity, his lack of reason and reasonableness, self-importance, arrogance and megalomania.”

In reference to bioweapons, and Covid-19 being one, I’ve been thinking about the following.

Over the last several months, we have all seen the chaos, tragedy, and panic that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused all over the globe. Overall, more than 17 million confirmed cases have been reported worldwide, and more than 680,000 people have died, and it’s just getting started. But of course those raw numbers do not tell the entire story. This pandemic has struck fear into the hearts of billions of people all over the world and has thrown the entire global economy into a devastating horrific economic depression. 

After watching what COVID-19 has done to us, it is inevitable that many of those that wish to do the USA harm will be inspired to look into the feasibility of purposely releasing viruses that are even deadlier than COVID-19 inside the United States. Thanks to dramatic leaps in technology over the last couple of decades, it has become very easy to create and weaponize viruses, and once such a biological weapon is released we may never even know who attacked us.

I can just imagine a bunch of terrorists sitting around watching a news report about how COVID-19 is crippling the United States and seeing their eyes light up when they suddenly realize the possibilities.

And when I use the term “terrorists” in this article, I am using it in a very broad sense. We tend to think of terrorists as bearded men from the Middle East that like to run around shooting people and blowing things up, but the truth is that a “terrorist” can be anyone that seeks to use violence to advance an insidious agenda.

There are certainly quite a few foreign organizations and foreign governments that would love to see the United States collapse, and it has become clear that there are actually millions of people inside the United States that hate America and would love to see it come to an end.

On top of all that, there are countless people around the world that believe that our planet is massively overpopulated and that the human population is a “plague” that needs to be controlled before it destroys the world. Someone with that worldview may actually believe that they are “saving the globe” by releasing a deadly pathogen that kills billions of people.

I could go on all day, but I think that you get the point. There are many different reasons why someone may want to release a deadly bioweapon, and COVID-19 has shown everyone how incredibly vulnerable we are.

For a long time, we have been concerned that terrorists may eventually get their hands on nuclear weapons and use them against us, and that may still happen someday. But it is exceedingly difficult to create a nuclear weapon, it is not easy to store a nuclear weapon, and transporting a nuclear weapon a long distance to the location that you want to attack without being detected is highly problematic.

On the other hand, a biological weapon is relatively easy to create. Scientists all over the globe have been monkeying around with viruses for decades, and much of that research is freely available online. And if you want to create your own virus, you can actually do it very easily and at a very small fraction of the cost that it would take to construct a nuclear weapon. This wasn’t always the case, but advances in technology have completely changed the rules of the game. 

Multiple public health and security experts have expressed fears about new forms of biotechnology that allow a bacterium or a virus to be genetically sequenced, altered or weaponized more affordably and more rapidly.

Cutting-edge gene-editing technologies, which allow scientists and eager amateurs alike to tweak and reconstitute viruses at a microscopic level, have become widespread in recent years, and the industry remains poorly regulated in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Please read that last sentence very carefully.

It should chill you to the core to hear that “eager amateurs” are easily able to “tweak and reconstitute viruses at a microscopic level”. Any such research should have always been protected under national security laws, but instead so much of this research is just sitting on the Internet for anyone to take.

To me, this is one of the greatest national security threats that the USA is facing. Someone could suddenly release a virus in a very crowded location in one of our major cities, and nobody would even realize what was happening. And by the time the virus had spread widely and people were dropping dead in the streets, the person that originally released it may have permanently disappeared.

COVID-19 is the worst public health crisis that we have ever seen, but it is not even worth comparing to a deadly bird-flu virus that has been weaponized and carried by all birds all over the world. There are approximately 600 billion birds in the world. In my opinion, that’s coming next.

America is facing a plethora of threats from both inside and outside the country, and there are so many hate-filled people that would love to bring it down. COVID-19 has shown all of those hate-filled individuals a very easy way to do just that.

Today it looks like Americans themselves will bring it down, lead by idiot Trump and his gang of idiots.

I know that hardly anyone else has been talking about this, but this is something that has been on my mind. The USA is so exceedingly vulnerable, and one day disaster will strike without any warning.
