COVID-1984: Nearly One-Third Of All Small Businesses In The New York And New Jersey Area Remained Closed Due To Draconian COVID-1984 Lockdown
Here comes the next recession as nearly one-third of small businesses in New York and New Jersey remain closed since the COVID-1984 virus pandemic began earlier this year.

Here comes the next recession as nearly one-third of small businesses in New York and New Jersey remain closed since the COVID-1984 virus pandemic began earlier this year.
Don’t you love when the global elites who demand you wear a mask don’t actually wear them when they think no one is watching? They do it every day. Don’t you also live when multimillionaires like Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi lecture you about social distancing and staying at home? They shout at you to “Wear a friggin’ mask!” Unlike you, they are not suffering any economic hardships of any kind, so they don’t care if nearly 33% of New York and New Jersey small businesses have remained closed since March of this year.
Where will this all end? Well, it’s not actually going to end, after the required psychological destruction and economic devastation is completed, the New World Order will have you chained to draconian ‘new rules’ so fast your head won’t even have the time to spin, as the old saying goes. Governors Cuomo and Murphy live in mansions and eat from porcelain plates with sterling silver flatware, they don’t really care what happens to you. All they care about is you wearing a mask, and staying at home, even if they won’t.

“It’s Really Bad” – Almost One-Third Of Small Businesses In NY, NJ Have Closed
FROM ZERO HEDGE: The NY Post outlines small business data from Opportunity Insights and New Jersey Business & Industry Association paint a troubling outlook for the rest of 2020 into 2021. Opportunity Insights’ Tracking The Recovery, a Harvard database that monitors economic activity for the US, currently says 27.8% of small businesses in New York remain closed. The same goes for New Jersey, where 31.2% of small businesses had not reopened.
The New Jersey Business & Industry Association reports similar figures with 28% of New Jersey’s small businesses have closed up shop this year.
With top federal health officials on Sunday warning about a post-Thanksgiving spike in COVID-19, the reemergence of the virus in New York and New Jersey, along with stricter social distancing measures, means that more small businesses may be decimated in the months ahead.

“It’s really bad,” Eileen Kean, New Jersey state director of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, told the Star-Ledger. “And without federal dollars coming into New Jersey, the Main Street stores and other establishments are not gonna make it through the winter,” Kean said.
“It’s devastating how many restaurants have shuttered and jobs have been lost,” said Andrew Rigie, executive director of NYC Hospitality Alliances.
“And with the infection rate rising and the looming threat of indoor dining closing again, many more will close unless the government provides adequate support to these small businesses,” Rigie said.
On top of the small business closures in both states, 300,000 New Yorkers have filed a formal change of address notices with the U.S. Postal Service from March 1 to October 31. The rapid population decline suggests consumption at small businesses will continue to suffer well into 2021.
This all means that New York City’s economic recovery will lag the rest of the country. As explained by Mark Zandi, the chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, the city’s recovery might not be seen until 2025:
This is an event that struck right at the heart of New York’s comparative advantages,” Zandi said. “Being globally oriented, being stacked up in skyscrapers and packed together in stadiums: the very thing that made New York the pandemic undermined New York, was upended by it.” READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Israel Emerges As Victor In The ’12-Day War’ With Iran Only To Face Exploding Levels Of Hatred Directed At Jewish State

In 1967, the 6-Day War completely reordered the Middle East balance of power, Israel has done the impossible once again with the 12-Day War. But success comes at a high price.
Although Israel’s founding was made possible through the 1948 Independence War, it is the 1967 Six Day War that reordered the Middle East and framed Israel’s identity in 2025. And yet, Israel’s 12-day war against Iran may have outdone its achievements during the Six Day War on multiple fronts. But any jubilation becomes immediately tempered when you understand how high the level of hatred against the Jews and Israel has been turned up. That’s the memo.
“We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.” Psalm 79:4 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Iran is a nation that has spent billions in various proxy wars waged against Israel through Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza, with their crowning achievement being the October 7th attack by Hamas which they funded. Israel has finally struck Iran directly, and it was so overwhelming that the whole thing was done in 12 days. Time to celebrate, right? Not so fast. Antisemitism and anti-Israel fervor is about to hit a fever pitch not seen since WWII, with no end in sight. Perhaps you’ve met some of these people in your own life, they like to say stupid things like “I am not antisemitic, just anti-Zionist”, and “I don’t hate the Jews, just the illegal state of Israel”. Hopefully that level of jackassical ignorance didn’t come out of your mouth, no Bible believer would ever talk like that about Israel. On this episode, we get you up to speed with a completely changed Middle East, and what that means when it comes to Bible prophecy. Tick-tock, goes the end times clock.

Billboard Spotted In Tel Aviv For The ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan To Work In Conjunction With The Abraham Accords That Will Ensure The Safety Of The Israel

The ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan of the Coalition for Regional Security is a new Israeli political-security initiative that paves the way for the State of Israel to emerge from wars of attrition to a reality of security, stability and prosperity
Things are certainly starting to get interesting in the Middle East, no doubt about that. Over on the Jerusalem Post, I was reading the headline article talking about how the White House thinks there will be “big announcements on countries that are coming into the Abraham Accords.” We wrote about that the other day, the big news being that Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia might be the next three Muslim nations to sign the Accords with Israel. But no sooner than I had sat down to write about it, when something called the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan exploded across my desktop.
“And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.” Exodus 6:8 (KJB)
According to their web site, the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan of the Coalition for Regional Security was established about a year after the October 7 massacre and represents a broad and diverse group of public figures, security, diplomacy, business, high-tech, economics, research, and opinion leaders, who joined together to ensure the security of the State of Israel by promoting the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan.
The coalition harnesses under one umbrella the multitude of bodies, research institutes, and organizations that believe in the need for a new political-security vision that combines military, political, and economic power, and in leveraging the regional opportunity as a central path in the journey to strengthen Israel’s security.
Christian, you better wake up, the end times are happening without you. It’s time to get into the game!
The nascent Alliance boasts some heavy hitters from the Israeli military, finance, cyber security, tech sector and various political figures as well. It seems to be highly funded and well underway. Just how Abraham’s Shield will interact with the Abraham Accords is yet to be seen, but from their marketing alone, it would seem they are looking to ride the coattails of the burgeoning Accords.
As we have said from the beginning of all this back in 2020, a Temple is going to be built in Jerusalem, and the Abraham Accords is going to be the covenant that Antichrist will confirm at the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble. Look at the billboard image spotted in Tel Aviv at the top of this article, the stage is set and all the key players seem to be in place. All we need now is for the main character to arrive. Everything else is just a distraction.

New York Has The Largest Jewish Population In The US And Democrats There Just Picked Marxist Socialist Anti-Israel Candidate Zohran Mamdani For Mayor

Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory over three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral primary is a “political earthquake” that will pressure the national Democratic Party to move further left
Last night, America learned the name Zohran Mamdani, a politician in New York City who is a self-avowed Marxist, Socialist, anti-Zionist and anti-Israel Democrat candidate for mayor. In last night’s Primary election for mayor, Mamdani won in a sweeping landslide, receiving overwhelming support from New York’s large Jewish population. It’s like the bird voting for the cat to be in charge of the cage. We have watched for years what having a Muslim mayor has done for London, all of it bad, and now that same scourge is fixing to set up shop in the city considered the financial center of the world.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)
Let’s talk Zohran Mamdani and Israel. Mamdani has consistently criticized the policies and actions of the Israeli government, particularly regarding its treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. He has voiced support for Palestinian liberation and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. He has defended the use of the phrase “Globalize the intifada,” stating that for him, it represents a desire for equality and human rights, although the phrase is widely seen by many Jews as a call to violence. Lastly, Mamdani issued a statement after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, condemning Israel and its government, calling for an end to the occupation and dismantling of apartheid. So you tell me how on Earth the Jews in New York City voted for that, because I would love to know.
Andrew Cuomo Concedes to Socialist Zohran Mamdani in NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Cuomo told his supporters that tonight was “not” their night and added that “tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night,” according to the Hill. “He put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote,” Cuomo added. Per the outlet, Cuomo’s concession came after “Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count.”
Earlier Tuesday, Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count as Mamdani held a solid lead over the former governor. The vote counting will continue even though Cuomo has conceded in the primary. With 91 percent of the votes counted, Mamdani leads with 43.5 percent, or 428,995 votes, while Cuomo received 36.4 percent, or 358,740 votes, according to the Associated Press. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander came in third with 11.3 percent, or 111,44 votes.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 25, 2025
While Mamdani leads in the election, it could take “days before the winner is determined,” as the city does ranked choice voting, CBS News reported. According to the NYC Board of Elections website, “all first-choice votes are counted,” and if a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the first-choice votes, they win. Votes will continue to be counted “if no candidate earns more than” 50 percent of the first-choice votes:
All first-choice votes are counted. If a candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, that candidate wins. If not candidate earns more than 50% of first-choice votes, then counting will continue in rounds. At the end of each round, the last-place candidate is eliminated and voters who chose that candidate now have their vote counted for their next choice.
Welcome to Zohran Mamdani’s New York. pic.twitter.com/G9Cyc0DadH
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 25, 2025
Your vote is counted for your second choice only if your first choice is eliminated. If both your first and second choices are eliminated, your vote is counted for your next choice, and so on.
Breitbart News previously reported that Mamdani suggested creating city-run grocery stores, noting that “people in his city are struggling with the cost of groceries.”
Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani outlined his platform on his website saying people in his city are struggling with the cost of groceries.
The site then declared Mamdani “will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real ‘public option.’” READ MORE
