  Hi, I'm Jay felon and you're listening to the slippery slope.
• 0:11
  I hope you had a good Easter. I had a good break, and thanks
• 0:15
  for joining me. Today, I tell you reading and
• 0:18
  seeing the news about Shanghai, just blowing my mind, what is
• 0:23
  going on about? What, what is going on over
• 0:26
  there? Now for those of you who are
• 0:29
  listening to my podcast for a while, you would have heard me
• 0:32
  talk to a pastor, Tom Hughes and if you see him on his YouTube
• 0:36
  channel, With him and other people like him have been
• 0:39
  warning of the possibility of food shortages coming and the
• 0:44
  personally I think I think there is definitely a possibility of
• 0:47
  food shortages, coming to the Western World.
• 0:50
  There are seems to be a lot of things happening, which could
• 0:53
  lead to food shortages. And this is why this story of
• 0:56
  what's happening in Shanghai is just, it's just so astounding at
• 1:01
  the moment. So, a couple of things, a couple
• 1:04
  of different articles that are want to go through.
• 1:07
  This first one which came out last week, and it was actually
• 1:10
  from ABC News here in Australia and the tight, the headline says
• 1:15
  Shanghai is China's richest city, but even billionaires and
• 1:20
  celebrities aren't safe from its extreme lock down.
• 1:24
  The says that it's known as the city that never sleeps, and
• 1:26
  we're Chinese and leaks reside. But now, even the richest
• 1:30
  residents in Shanghai facing food shortages due to a strict
• 1:35
  covid-19 locked. Down that has been in place for
• 1:38
  three weeks. So, last week, there was a
• 1:40
  screenshot that was going around on a wee chat message in which a
• 1:44
  Kathy Shue asked to join trading groups for bread and milk went
• 1:50
  viral on Chinese social media. So Kathy, she was nicknamed the
• 1:54
  queen of venture capitalism, or sorry, the queen Kathy shoe
• 2:00
  nicknamed. The queen of venture capital is
• 2:03
  the founder and president of capital today.
• 2:06
  With a personal wealth, estimated at 3.3 billion.
• 2:11
  That's according to her on global.
• 2:15
  She's also known as the investor behind the success of China's
• 2:19
  multi-billion dollar Tech Giants, such as e-commerce
• 2:23
  platform, JD and delivery app mate.
• 2:28
  One. So the screenshot shows she
• 2:30
  lives in a high-end property and shanghai's pudong District which
• 2:34
  is equivalent to the most expensive suburbs in Sydney.
• 2:39
  So but like many residents of China's, richest city, you must
• 2:43
  shoe has now turned to A social media Platforms in order to
• 2:47
  obtain groceries. So with supermarkets, shut and
• 2:51
  deliveries restricted to stop the spread of covid-19, that's
• 2:55
  the excuse they're using. They've locked down 26 million
• 2:58
  people because of spread of covid-19, many people are
• 3:03
  finding food is either out of stock, or they're unable to be
• 3:07
  shipped in time. So the 55 year old billionaire
• 3:10
  later posted on her WeChat confirming, the message Was hers
• 3:16
  and she said that her son bought a few classmates to her house.
• 3:19
  And we now have 12 people living together.
• 3:22
  We have a huge demand for food so I'll be asking to join the
• 3:26
  buying groups in the neighborhood.
• 3:28
  She wrote she's not the only member of China's upper class
• 3:32
  who has suffered during shanghai's lockdown.
• 3:35
  So on April 11, a prominent Chinese Economist and TV host.
• 3:39
  Larry Sun, King Lang revealed his ninety eight year old mother
• 3:44
  Mother had died of kidney problems after being unable to
• 3:48
  access. Emergency Services.
• 3:51
  Professor Lang said, on his weibo account, his mother had
• 3:54
  appeared to be suffering from kidney failure, and she only
• 3:58
  needed one injection as treatment.
• 4:01
  However, she was stopped our saw the emergency department at a
• 4:03
  top Hospital in Shanghai. So under shanghai's.
• 4:06
  Current covid-19. Restrictions everyone is
• 4:09
  required to undergo a PCR test for the Access Medical Services.
• 4:14
  He says that his mother did a PCR test at a hospital and they
• 4:19
  have to wait for hours and there was still no result coming out
• 4:24
  after waiting at the emergency department, entrance for four
• 4:27
  hours, his mother passed away. So because of these lockdowns
• 4:33
  mother dies, all she needs is one injection to save her life.
• 4:37
  But they would, they would rather they are more willing to
• 4:40
  let 98. You are a woman died out on the
• 4:43
  street. However, What our family even
• 4:45
  more amazing than what these things are.
• 4:48
  And keep in mind, this city of 26 million, people lockdown.
• 4:53
  They are facing food shortages and all, this is a man-made
• 4:56
  crisis. There's nothing natural about
• 4:58
  this crisis. The virus itself is a man-made
• 5:01
  virus and then everything that's wrapped around with it.
• 5:05
  With these lockdowns are all man-made, the food shortage is
• 5:08
  man-made but what blows my mind even more than this is?
• 5:13
  The fact is this on People here on battery do and he came from
• 5:16
  the guardian yesterday. And the headline says, Shanghai
• 5:19
  records. First official covid deaths
• 5:24
  since the lockdown was imposed? This came through yesterday says
• 5:29
  that three covid-19 fatalities have been reported in Shanghai,
• 5:34
  the first to be officially counted since the beginning of
• 5:38
  the city's locked down. So the three people reported on
• 5:43
  Monday in Did the two women aged, 89, and 88, and 91, and a
• 5:49
  91 year old man. So 89 and to 91 year old.
• 5:55
  So, and it goes on say, they also had who also had underlying
• 5:59
  health conditions and were reportedly unvaccinated.
• 6:03
  So I'm sorry if your 89 or 90 one, and you'll, you want to be
• 6:07
  unvaccinated, who cares? Seriously the fact that they
• 6:11
  still print this rubbish about being unvaccinated like It's got
• 6:15
  something to do with it. Blows my mind.
• 6:18
  Goes on to say that Shanghai municipal authorities said, the
• 6:21
  three were admitted to hospital and became critically ill.
• 6:26
  They died on Sunday. After all efforts were made to
• 6:29
  rescue them. So, as of April 5, more than 92
• 6:34
  million Chinese people over 65 including 20 point two million,
• 6:38
  over the age of 80 were not fully vaccinated.
• 6:42
  The outbreak of the Omicron Darien in the Chinese city of
• 6:45
  more than 24 believe it's actually 26 million.
• 6:48
  People has so far, infected at least three hundred twenty
• 6:52
  thousand people cinch. March it is the worst outbreak
• 6:57
  in China since the beginning of the pandemic, but despite the
• 7:01
  high number of cases, zero deaths have been attributed to
• 7:07
  it. So up, until now they've had 20
• 7:11
  somewhere between 24 to 26 million, people in complete
• 7:15
  lockdown. And a lot of you probably We
• 7:18
  seen the footage of Shanghai and nighttime where people opening
• 7:23
  their windows and screaming out. It's very eerie, some of the
• 7:27
  footage heavily. If you haven't seen it, I'd try
• 7:30
  and track it down on social media.
• 7:32
  And you'll see you'll hear people screaming out there want
• 7:36
  food. They want to be released from
• 7:38
  these lockdowns, and yet they've been in lockdown for three to
• 7:43
  four weeks now. And yet, they've only just had
• 7:47
  an official Death from this latest outbreak, the fact that
• 7:52
  they've got food shortages again, it's a man-made food
• 7:56
  shortage. I mean, the virus itself, that's
• 7:59
  me and made this whole crisis is man-made.
• 8:04
  And I'm not trying to exaggerate some big conspiracy theory, but
• 8:09
  I bet you these billionaires in Shanghai would never have dreamt
• 8:14
  of the day. We're all of them money, their
• 8:17
  wealth, their power and yet they were facing shoes, food,
• 8:21
  shortages within their own homes.
• 8:26
  We're a wealthy respected. Well-known businessman.
• 8:33
  Can't even get his own mother. The medication, she needs
• 8:37
  something as simple as one single injection to save a life.
• 8:41
  But instead she dies in the street, this is a man-made
• 8:45
  crisis, make me wonder why they're doing it.
• 8:49
  But if anyone, doubts that this could happen in the nation, like
• 8:53
  Australia, with we're hearing reports of possible food
• 8:58
  shortages because of the conflict over in Europe between
• 9:02
  Russia and Ukraine. We're hearing reports of
• 9:05
  possible week shortages. We keep hearing reports of
• 9:10
  possible fuel shortages here in Australia and it seems like at
• 9:15
  the moment, the government just keeps fixing things, they just
• 9:19
  fix things, just in the nick of time, tell me what you think.
• 9:23
  Should we be worried about this? Do ever could you ever foresee
• 9:28
  something like what's happening in Shanghai happening in
• 9:31
  Australia happening in America happening in Canada because
• 9:36
  three years ago, oldest year but that's China.
• 9:38
  That's the Chinese Communist Party mean.
• 9:41
  You know what else, what do you think, would happen in that
• 9:43
  place and yet, looking at what's happening in my nation of
• 9:47
  Australia for the last two years and the way we have treated our
• 9:50
  people because of the stupid virus, I tell you what, nothing
• 9:57
  would surprise me in there. Nothing at all.
• 10:01
  So, if this catastrophe of a lockdown and a man-made food
• 10:07
  shortage is happening in Shanghai, you better believe
• 10:11
  that this kind of rubbish could very well happen in Australia.
• 10:16
  And you better be prepared. That's my opinion.
• 10:20
  Thank you for listening to the slippers.
