8-11-20, Architizer--  JDS Development’s Michael Stern and Property Markets Group’s Kevin Maloney announced their Steinway Tower is nearing completion.  New York City’s most distinctive tower – the ‘thinnest in the world’ following facts:

1. On completion, Steinway Tower will hold the title of world’s most slender skyscraper, with a width-to-height ratio of approximately 1:24.

2. The skyscraper will be 1,428 feet tall
 
3. 82 floors: the first 5 will contain shared recreation spaces and high-end retail, while the upper 77 will house luxury apartments – one per floor
 
4. Situated on New York’s “Billionaire’s Row”
 
5. The highest apartment is expected to fetch at least $100 million. This might seem high, but would be nothing out of the ordinary for New York: Billionaire Ken Griffin [1] recently purchased the penthouse at 220 Central Park South for $238 million.
 
6. The building’s bronze and terracotta façade references New York’s art deco history, with slender mullions that curve upwards towards the crown.
 
7. Construction required 49,000 cubic yards of concrete.
 
8. It’s perfectly aligned with the axis of Central Park, giving future residents a symmetrical view of this iconic public space, the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side.

8-4-20,  Fox 5 -- Concern over the 2020 Presidential election being defrauded is valid. What ID is commonly used to identify voter? Driver's licenses - apparently it's easy to get one. This is huge. According to  U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP]:

"These fraudulent identity documents can lead to identity theft, worksite enforcement, critical infrastructure protection, fraud linked to immigration-related crimes such as human smuggling and human trafficking. These documents can be used by individuals associated with terrorism to minimize scrutiny from travel screening measures."

The federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses—just at Chicago O'Hare International Airport this year through the end of June 2020.

Shipments came from South Korea and the U.K. Most of the shipments came from Hong Kong and mainland China. Majority of the fake IDs were for college-age students. Many had the same photo but different names; but one alarming discovery was that the barcode on the fake Michigan licenses actually worked.

At the Dallas-Fort Worth Texas Airport customs officers reported an increase in international shipments finding appx 2,000 fake IDs in the prior year These have been flooding the Untied States for years; Sep 22, 2014:

Presidency: While there is no official deadline to enter the US presidential race, candidates must meet certain filing requirements under Ballot Access Laws that vary by state. The deadline to add independent candidates to the ballot has not yet passed in many states, including California, when West announced for 2020. Of the 538 Electoral College votes total, West has already missed out on 102 if he were to successfully make his way onto the ballot in other states – the registration date has already passed for about a dozen states.  He could, however run as a write-in candidate. His announcement was met with with mixed reactions of skepticism and excitement. As he's been a strong supporter of President Trump, many suspect he's trying to split the black vote away from Biden.

Are We in End Times? Orthodox Children Prophesy Great
​
12-24-18, CharismaNews -- Rabbi Eldad Shmuel organizes and attends a group of autistic children, he said: "Our minds are wondrous things, but sometimes the intellect interferes with our understanding God..."

​12-16-18, BreakingIsraelNews --  Rabbi Shmuel explained that, in the ultra-Orthodox community, it's accepted that autistic children have a certain level of ability to prophecy. He cited the source for this opinion as the Talmud (Baba Batra 12:b) which states, “Since the Temple was destroyed, prophecy was taken from the prophets and given to shotim and children.”

The Rabbi emphasized that the prophecies are warning the world to prepare for a great change. The Hebrew word shotim is usually translated as ‘fools’ but in rabbinic literature, it refers to a person with a distinctive lack of social functioning. This does not refer to their level of intelligence and is not used as a derogatory expression. In the framework of Jewish law, shotim is understood to be a classification that includes autistic people. Scripture says:

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalms 139:14

Unlike prophecy which came to only a few gifted people who lived austere and holy lives, the Rabbi believes that every autistic child has the ability to prophecy.

Since 1985 people have used facilitated communication [FC] to communicate with autistic children who cannot speak normally. They can communicate if given the physical support of pointing at letters on an alphabet board or by typing on a keyboard.

Many autistic children say Messiah is already here and the final painful stages are about to commence.​

One young man whose name is Daniel  frequently describes a large star that will approach the Earth and though it will not hit the planet, it will cause great damage. Such a star has been seen and scientists have never seen anything like this so they don’t know what to expect. But it is coming closer, which is why we're seeing more earthquakes, volcanoes, and hurricanes than ever before. As it comes closer, this will only increase. [Genesis 1:26] More here

Star Appeared Out of No Where!
On June 17, 2018 astronomers at the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Astronomy twin Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescopes discovered an enormous, unprecedented bright flash of LIGHT in space that had just appeared in the heavens. Supernovae typically take several weeks to develop; but this flash, 10 to 100 times brighter than an average supernova, appeared in a region of space the astronomers had checked only two days before. Kate Maguire at Queen’s University Belfast, part of the ATLAS team said:

“It [the star] really just appeared out of nowhere.”  They've dubbed it THE COW. [New Scientist]

7-6-20, Robert Spencer, JihadWatch – In Georgia over America’s celebration of ‘INDEPENDENCE DAY’ on July 4, 2020 we see another manifestation of the Leftist-Islamic alliance. Large gathering of appx 200 men in black shouting “Alhamdulillah” translation: “Thanks be to Allah” - this is not usually said except by observant Muslims. Apparently radical Leftists have the same goal as Islamic terror jihadis [war] do: not just the removal of statues of Confederates, but much more.
​
The targeting of Confederate statues is part of a larger effort to make Americans ashamed of our history as a whole, as the targeting of statues of United States heroes: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and [black] Frederick Douglass shows. The ultimate goal is the destruction of the U.S. as a free republic; replacing it with an authoritarian state. The nature of that authoritarian state, however, will be determined by the group that comes out on top after they turn on each other. [As in the Middle East where many Muslim groups fight each other such as: Iran that is Shiite Islam and Turkey that is Sunni Islam.]

Hundreds of heavily armed militia march shouting that they want the carvings of the sculpture depicting Gen. Robert E. Lee, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson on Stone Mountain, Georgia removed: “We’re in your house… let’s go! I don’t see no white militia, the boogie boys, the three percenters and all the rest of these scared-ass rednecks. We here, where the **** you at? We’re in your house… let’s go!’

Todd Starnes, by Todd Starnes, July 4, 2020, As many as 200 heavily armed Blacks dressed in military-style uniforms swarmed Stone Mountain Park in Georgia on Independence Day. “Black power,” they chanted. “Black power.” Police told television station WXIA that the northern and western entrances to the park were shut down after the self-identified members of the “Black Militia” entered the area. Police said the protests were peaceful.However, a video shows a man in a sniper position aiming artillery at the face of the Civil War carvings on the side of Stone Mountain. Speaker shouting:

“We’re trying to send a message. From now on this is how you protest. Don’t come with any God-**** signs anymore. Stop taking a sign to a gunfight. We are not f***ing around no more. Black power. Black people. Black man. Black woman. Black child. Black nation.”

The Black Militia leader then ordered his troops to put their fists in the air declaring: “We are not talking any f***king more."

NFL Announces 'Black National Anthem' Will Also Be Played
7-2-20, Newsweek: The NFL plans to play a song dubbed as the Black national anthem during pregame ceremonies during the first weekend of its regular-season games. A source told The Undefeated that the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" could be played before the "Star-Spangled Banner" during Week 1. https://www.newsweek.com/history-behind-black-national-anthem-nfl-will-play-week-1-games-1515195
 
The Black National Anthem*
Lyrics:
 
Lift ev'ry voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
 
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Here now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
 
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might,
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
everyday we lit
Shadowed beneath thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land.

*Song title: “Lift Every Voice and Sing”
Also known as: The Negro National Anthem
Song Writer: James Weldon Johnson:  The poem was originally performed in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on February 12, 1900, and was later set to music in 1905 by Johnson’s brother John Rosamond 

On our way back to normal, it would be good for citizens if a few scaremongers apologized; such as doctors, scientists and those who:

• wanted a triage of over 80 year old Covid patients in order to stop ventilating them
• media that kept showing alarmist videos of Italian hospitals to illustrate a situation that as such didn’t exist
• all politicians calling for “testing, testing, testing” without even knowing what the test actually measures

I suggest that those young and healthy people who are currently walking around with a face mask would instead be better off wearing a helmet, because the risk of something falling on their head is greater than that of getting a serious case of Covid-19.
 
What now as the virus is gone? It will probably come back in winter, but it won’t be a second wave, but just a cold.  [Trump was right again!]

In 1936 Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt approved and help fund the Mount Rushmore National Monument [US Pres 1933-1945 no term limits]

​Democrats Delete Tweet Describing Mount Rushmore

• 7-1-20, AmericanLookout -- President Trump is visiting Mount Rushmore to celebrate America's 'INDEPENDENCE DAY' on July 4th, 2020. Naturally, Democrat's 'Democrat Natl Committee' [DNC] felt they had to attack him for this and criticize the event.The DNC’s Tweet About July 4th Event Was So Bad They Deleted It - The official Twitter account of the DNC accused President Trump of “glorifying white supremacy” over July 4th at Mount Rushmore. In the past the fire works displays at Mt Rushmore had been canceled over fire dangers. However, it wasn’t the environment the DNC was concerned about in their criticism.. it was “white supremacy!”

Democrat Party Begins Demonizing Mount Rushmore
6-30-20, DailyWire -- Recently today's "Democrat Party" began attacking Mount Rushmore from their official Twitter account referring to upcoming Independence Day celebrations at the famed monument as “glorifying white supremacy.”  Gee, strange that in 1941 and 1980 Democrat Presidents Roosevelt and Carter didn't think it was racist when they funded it and paid for the Indian land.

• With the Fourth of July days away, Democrats have officially flagged the next target in the culture war to undermine and unravel America. The official Twitter account of the Democratic National Committee shot out a tweet associating Mount Rushmore with white supremacy as President Trump plans to celebrate the '4TH OF JULY' with fireworks at the national monument.

Note: Seven months after the 73-year-old immigrant from Denmark sculptor Guzlon Borglum  died, March 1941, Borglum’s son Lincoln Borglum led the completion of the carving of the four presidents.

Annette - In the 1990s my husband, John and I visited the Monument in South Dakota ... it is fabulous. John was in construction and was so amazed at the work considering the ancient [1927-1941] tools they had. And to learn the way Borglum made their eyes 'twinkle' was a special treat.

U.S. to pay 17 Indian tribes $492 million to settle long
When Democrat Barry Obama was in the White House on Sep 26, 2016 the US Govt announced a settlement totaling $492.8 million, come at the same time that thousands of Native Americans representing tribes from across the country have joined the Standing Rock Sioux protest in North Dakota. -- Washington Post
​Leader of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Calls On Obama

Apparently Obama blocked the pipeline and the Sioux love him! -- Democraticunderground.com

Our rulers don’t seem to understand:

• just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment
• that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses and reflexive animosity
• that white people are not racists – they are just frustrated as most of the efforts and attempts to placate and encourage the successes of all black people has resulted in a small percentage being educated and successful ... with still more rioting

Too often blacks don’t take responsibility for their failures; instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across generations and the country, as seen in Detroit, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Ferguson & more, there’s violent rioting, vandalism, looting and killing that are just one racial incident away. The elite liberal leftists explain everything with “racism,” refusing to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.

5-14-20, * -- Recently Obama adviser Rahm Emanuel [current mayor of Chicago Illinois] in an interview reminded us of his 2008 financial crisis quotation, "Never allow a crisis to go to waste."

​The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a wonderful opportunity for those who want greater control over our lives. Sadly, too many Americans have already taken the bait. We've allowed politicians and bureaucrats to dictate to us what's an essential business and what isn't.

To solve the Covid virus lockdown economic crisis in the USA, leftist politicians are arguing that a "temporary' wealth tax is applicable and should be levied on a variety of accumulated assets of Americans including cash, money market funds, real estate property, trust funds, owner-occupied housing and other wealth accumulations [of RICH people!]. How much? Assume a taxpayer earns $150,000 and has a net worth consisting of a business or home and annually falls in the 32% tax bracket - their tax would be: $48,800. A person with a net worth of $500,000 - their tax would be: $160,000. The long-term effect of a wealth tax is that people will try to avoid it by not accumulating as much wealth or concealing it. A wealth tax has become increasingly attractive because it lends itself to demagoguery [distrust and dislike] about the wealth disparity in the US. [..] Democrat presidential contenders Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren incentives to propose a wealth tax as a part of their campaign rhetoric. Currently leftists lament that multi-billionaires haven't made acceptable charitable efforts to address the coronavirus crisis. [So we must force them! Oh and pad the Democrat bills with pork like money for abortions and museums! -- Ed.]
​
My questions to these political leeches are:
To whom does the billionaire's wealth belong?
Most wealthy people accumulated their great wealth by working hard, serving and pleasing their fellow man in the pursuit of profits. Unfortunately, the incendiary rhetoric against wealthy people and lack of understanding has led to "profit" becoming a dirty word. Entrepreneurs and business people earn their profits just as wages are payments to labor, interest to capital and rent to land. In order to earn profits in free markets, entrepreneurs must identify and satisfy society by supplying it with products, services and other resources.
Their survival depends on pleasing ordinary people. Public schools, post offices and motor vehicle departments' survival are not strictly tied to pleasing people but rather on politicians and the ability of government to impose taxes.​

Some advocates of wealth taxes [1] and other forms of taxation might argue that they are temporary measures to get us over the COVID-19 virus crisis. Do not buy that argument. The great Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman once said:

"Nothing is more permanent than a temporary government program."

[1] Coronavirus: Wealth taxes may be rolled out globally
5-11-20, CNBC --Roger Bootle, chairman of Capital Economics, said he was concerned that some governments will be raising tax rates to mitigate the impacts of the virus pandemic. “If the deficit doesn’t come down dramatically as a result of economic growth alone, then something will have to be done, and there’s a choice between either reducing the rate of spending or raising taxes. I’d be very much in favor of reducing the rate of spending — the danger is, if you put up tax rates, you clobber incentives and you reduce the efficiency of the economy, and that’s the very, very last thing that you should be doing.” Bootle added that a tax response to the crisis would become a political issue as policymakers navigated reopening their economies, recovering lost GDP (gross domestic product) and pleasing the public.

5-11-20, * -- A Reuters analysis of government data showed that during the recent Covid-19 virus scare U.S. Pres Trump ordered meat processing plants to stay open to protect the nation's food supply. On Apr 28, 2020 the president invoked the 1950 Defense Production Act to keep plants open. Now some media, lawmakers, consumers and plant employees are accusing Pres Trump of putting American workers at risk in part to help ensure China's meat supply as the plants have been increasingly exporting to China while U.S. consumers face shortages.
 
Processors including:

• Smithfield Foods, owned by China's WH Group Ltd,
• Brazilian-owned JBS USA
• US owned Tyson Foods Inc [1]

The processors temporarily closed about twenty U.S. meat plants as the virus infected employees, prompting meat packers and grocers to warn of shortages.  According to Will Sawyer, lead economist at agricultural lender CoBank - the disruptions mean USA consumers could see 30% less meat in supermarkets by the end of May 2020, at prices 20% higher than in 2019.
 

• According to U.S. Dept of Agriculture [USDA]. since mid March 2020 - while pork supplies tightened - the number of pigs slaughtered each day plunged by about 40%, shipments of American pork to China more than quadrupled. [..]
  
• According to the U.S. Meat Export Federation - year-to-date about 31% of U.S. pork has been exported. One-third of that went to China, accounting for more than 10% of total first-quarter production.  Exports to China set a record for the period from January to March 2020 and shipments to all destinations in March set a record for any month.
  
• Tyson Foods President Dean Banks said that he expects China's demand for U.S. pork to remain strong as it recovers from a COVID-19 lockdown. Tyson has limited meat products for American retailers because of plant closures. Meanwhile, Kroger Co and Costco Wholesale Corp. restricted U.S. shoppers' meat purchases.
  

JBS beef plant in Greeley, Colorado which produces pork, beef and chicken reduced exports to focus on meeting U.S. demand during the pandemic.  Kim Cordova, president of the local United Food and Commercial Workers International Union that represents plant employees said: "I think we need to take care of our country and our needs first.”

5-8-20, Geoffrey Grider, NowTheEndBegins -- On May 1, 2020, Illinois Congressman Democrat Bobby Rush introduced a new bill called: H.R.6666* ... [Now why would the wicked Democrats call this bill HR6666?]

The deeper we go into this dystopian world of virus COVID-19, the murkier things get. Ironically, from a Biblical perspective, they are stunningly clear, at least to me.

COVID-19 is being used to bring in the New World Order & at this point only the most pathological of gainsayers can dispute it. 

We shouldn't be surprised at H.R. 6666 is designed to allocate funding for contact tracing digital surveillance and home inspections by government agents. 

Sounds like George Orwell's book ... '1984.' Understanding the times born again believers should be:

1. We should be telling lost people about salvation in Jesus Christ, and encouraging the saints to get something done for the Lord whilst time remains. Romans 13:11
2. We should be loudly cheering the forces of the forming Antichrist system and shouting to them ‘That thou doest, do quickly!‘ John 13:27
3. The quicker the Lord permits the wicked to accomplish their evil deeds, the sooner we fly out on Flight #777.  Hallelujah! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

*Stated Purpose? - To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals' residences, and for other purposes.

Jesus said: "As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch .. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot -- so shall it be when the Lord comes. 

Matthew 24:37-42; Luke 17:28-30

5-8-20, Selwyn Duke -- “When you subsidize something, you get more of it,” the economic principle goes. This would explain why, according to New York City funeral directors on the Wuhan Flu’s front lines, New York's Big Apple officials are “padding” the disease’s mortality numbers, attributing deaths from other causes to the virus itself.

What’s their motivation? Money. 

​These claims were made in a video James O’Keefe’s organization Project Veritas (PV) released April 30, 2020 adding to the body of evidence indicating that the virus’s death toll is exaggerated; summary follows:

• Judge Calls Bull[****] on Relative’s COVID-19 Cause of Death
• Brooklyn Funeral Director: They Are Padding Numbers; Medical Examiners Too Busy to Investigate
• 40-year-old Died in Home with No Symptoms Other Than Fever, Toe-Tagged as COVID-19 Victim
• Michael Lanza, of the Staten Island Colonial Funeral Home says: “To be honest with you, all of the death certificates are writing COVID on it whether they had a positive test or they didn’t. So I think, again, this is my personal opinion, I think like the mayor [Bill de Blasio] and our city, they’re looking for federal funding. And the more they put COVID on the death certificate, the more money they can ask from the federal funds. So I think it’s political. So, I’m going to turn around and say: ‘You know, like, not everybody that we have here that has COVID on the death certificate died of COVID.’ Can I prove that? No, but that is my suspicion.”
• Josephine DiMiceli, president of Queens-based funeral service, DiMiceli and Sons, said that a Supreme Court justice (state, presumably) was involved in a case in which a non-Wuhan Flu death was categorized as a casualty of the disease. She stated that the sister of a deceased woman said her sister had Alzheimer's and had not been treated for the Covid virus. Furious... The sister got an autopsy, and “sure enough — no COVID-19.
• Joseph Antioco, Schafer Funeral Home said: “They are putting COVID on a lot of death certificates because people that are going to their hospital for any kind of respiratory distress problems, pneumonia or flu-like symptoms ... could lead into the COVID-19... To me, all you’re doing is padding the statistics. You’re saying people have COVID-19 [even] if they didn’t have it. You’re making the death rate for New York City a lot higher than it should be.”

Many in the mainstream media and Dr Anthony Fauci scoff at the reports of the inflated Wuhan Flu death numbers are tin-foil-hat conspiracy theories. If so, then Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, must be part of the conspiracy. After all, she admitted April 7, 2020 that the federal government was counting anyone who died with the Wuhan virus in his system as a casualty of the disease — even though the actual cause of death could have been different.

This is all very tragic because the policy-making process is like a computer: garbage in, garbage out. Operating based on bad data yields bad decisions. As to this, our “lockdowns” — which threaten to collapse not only our economy but, possibly, our whole civilization — are not justified and perpetuated partially by the Wuhan Flu’s supposed mortality rate.

Is the USA being destroyed by collapsing the economy over lies about a disease?
