Roubini: The Fed is 'cornered'; will either lose control of inflation or crash markets

(Kitco News) - While inflationary fears are picking up, the markets have not demonstrated a readiness to accept higher interest rates. In fact, rising nominal treasury yields over the past few months have, on several occasions, prompted market selloffs.

This predicament puts the Federal Reserve in a tough position, said Nouriel Roubini, CEO of Roubini Macro Associates and professor at the NYU Stern School of Business, because should the Fed raise interest rates to try to control inflation, the market may see a return of 2013's "taper tantrum".

"Either the Fed, at that point, keeps on saying things are temporary, inflation expectations start to rise, they control the short end of the yield curve, but then long rates can rise in nominal and real terms, that's one risk. Then, inflation gets out of control. Or, like in 2013, they have to backpedal and say no, there is a problem with inflation and we have to start tapering sooner than we said, we need to start raising rates sooner than we said, and we could have a repeat of what happened in 2013," Roubini told Michelle Makori, Kitco's editor-in-chief.

In 2013, when the Fed announced a reduction in its pace of Treasury bond purchases, U.S. Treasury yields soared on the announcement.

A repeat of this scenario could have serious implications for all markets, if not the broader economy, Roubini said, noting that the fixed income sector is particularly at risk.

"So either way is risky. Either you're behind the curve, you're going to cause inflation, or if you don't want to be any more behind the curve, and then you signal, 'I'm going to tighten', then you could have a bond market and a credit market crash that could really weaken the economy, if not stall it. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't," he said.

On inflation expectations, Roubini agreed with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's assessment that interest rates would have to rise to prevent inflation from "overheating."

Yellen made this statement at an economic event hosted by the Atlantic magazine earlier this week but quickly retracted her statement after markets tumbled by saying that she doesn"t think inflation will be a significant problem.

"I think that she was telling the truth when she expressed her own first concern that maybe there could be overheating that might lead to inflation to overshoot what the Fed does, therefore the Fed [will have] to raise rates," Roubini said.

Goodhart's Law: When Investors Mistake The Distortions Of The Wall Of Money For Wisdom

https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b.../picture-5.jpg

By One River Asset Management CIO, Eric Peters

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure,” said the Englishman, stepping outside of himself. “That’s Goodhart’s Law.”

Charles Goodhart observed that central banks measured money supply, and found certain M1 growth rates to be optimal. But once they targeted that optimal range, M1 lost its value as a measure.

Market and economic actors adjusted their behavior to game the M1 system. So central bankers shifted to M2, then M3, and M4.

“Investing is obviously not a science, but if it were, we would say that you can’t act on something and observe it at the same time.” French colonialists discovered this in rat-infested Hanoi when they offered a bounty for killing rodents.

To receive the reward, the Vietnamese were required to produce severed tails.

Soon thereafter, tail-less rats scurried throughout the city. The bounty hunters removed their tails and released them to the filthy sewers to breed. Boosting their bounty.

“Investors discover pricing anomalies from the past. And they pile into them, ensuring that for a time they persist.”

They mistake the distortions of their wall of money for the wisdom of their observations.

They interact with the market as if they’re exogenous, when, in fact, they’ve become endogenous. “Today’s greatest example of Goodhart’s Law in action can be found in volatility markets.”

The VIX index measures the expected volatility of the S&P 500 and is calculated by multiplying the expected 30-day variance by 100. As a measure of market fear, it was quite useful, until it became something that could be traded.

“The sheer size of outstanding positions in VIX futures, VIX options, ETFs, ETNs and bank volatility selling programs is such that those trading these markets can no longer separate the true measure of volatility from their own actions.”

Silver $226.68 oz Eastern Price Aggregated 1970-2021

https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-pu...?itok=VN7F_Y3C

BY JHANDERS

SUNDAY, JUL 18, 2021 - 0:12

I know it sounds ridiculous.

As if I added an extra "$200" per troy ounce to the silver spot price in this article's headline.

But that is the current damning East vs. West silver "price discovery" data aggregated over the last +50 years.

Here is a quick background on how "polite" western silver and gold price suppression is.

I would argue it's more ridiculous to publically say that daily and weekly spoofing of the precious metals price discovery markets to the downside tens of thousands of times over a decade doesn't damage the price of an item, over time, compounding to the downside.

So here we continue to await the coming silver bullion shortage, front running, and likely coming gold bullion shortage (of available quickly deliverable bullion, in real size, at reasonable prices versus spot).

The INCREDIBLE SHRINKING fiat Federal Reserve Note

A bit of bad news, good news to start this week’s SD Bullion market update.

Most often miscalled a US dollar, the fiat Federal Reserve note continues devaluing in real purchasing power at rates not seen in nearly 40 years.

The good news is, silver and gold continue being mispriced discovered by outsized derivative and fiat financialized markets that act as having little to no clue on the capital flow comeuppance to come.

In other words, investors can still get physical precious metals positions at comparatively low historical valuations to other asset classes propped and stubbornly still hovering in bubble status.

Prices reportedly increased near 1% from May to June 2021, signifying double-digit inflation using the government’s hedonic quality rigged, underreported inflation figures.

The following clip is courtesy of this week’s PBS Frontline documentary on the outsized power the private US central bank has over average citizens' lives at the moment.

Here is one of its most apologetic Fed employees, Need Kashkari, shirking responsibility for the supposed regulatory mandates the Federal Reserve is mandated to fulfill.

Pam and Russ Martens of WallStreetOnParade.com point out that over the last 15 and one-half years, the Federal Reserve has approved 3,576 bank mergers. It has denied not one proposed bank merger in the last more than a decade and one half of time.

They go on in this Federal Reserve failure to regulate article. Stating that, the:
"decline in the number of overall banks fails to capture the gargantuan concentration of assets at just four banking behemoths: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank. According to the March 31, 2021 report from the Federal Reserve, just four banks own $9 trillion in assets of the total $22.56 trillion in assets owned by all 4,978 federally-insured banks and savings associations in the country.

To put it more poignantly, those four banks represent just 0.08 percent of all the banks in the country while controlling 40 percent of the assets."

And now the fiat Federal Reserve is pushing for a new fiat Central Bank Digital Currency unit, often called FedCoin, which will likely result in even more bank concentration once it begins being issued likely later this decade.

To end this week's SD Bullion update on brighter news and trends building.

The central bank of Brazil continued the trend of the emerging market country's going long gold bullion reserves adding 41.8 metric tonnes to its Official Gold Reserves in June 2021.

To put that gold bullion buying into perspective, that is akin to buying 3,600 of these 400 oz gold bars you see here.

In terms of the largest net monthly gold bullion reserve buying, six to seven of the largest ten gold bullion buys have happened in the last few years. This trend is unlikely to slow, in other words.

Turning to the base that the spot silver price has been building over the last near one year of time, my belief is it will ultimately be resolved in the medium and longer-term, strongly to the upside.

I say this confidently, knowing that silver's aggregated eastern trading price is still hovering around $226 fiat Federal Reserve notes or fiat US dollars per troy ounce.

Go back to the start of this article, and see the first embedded tweet, to see this east vs. west silver price discovery chart in both a non-logarithmic and logarithmic scale.

I contend that the RED silver spot price will again meet the BLUE eastern aggregated spot price from 2006-2008 and in early 2011.

See moment 19:55 in the video below for more on that belief below:

The question for me remains just how high above ^^^ the seemingly ancient silver price high of $50 per troy ounce will these Red vs. Blue line rendezvous reoccur.

That is all for this week. And as always to you out there, take great care of yourselves and those you love.

The Demonization of the Unvaxxed

Karen Hunt

https://off-guardian.org/wp-content/...900.jpg?x51581

“Children are the vessels into which adults pour their poison.”

Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

In The Silver Chair, book 6 of CS Lewis’s magnificent The Chronicles of Narnia, the first pages describe a “mixed” school, meaning for boys and girls, that was…
not nearly so mixed as the minds of the people who ran it. These people had the idea that boys and girls should be allowed to do what they liked. And unfortunately what ten or fifteen of the biggest boys and girls liked best was bullying the others. All sort of things, horrid things, went on…[and] the people who did them were not expelled or punished. The Head said they were interesting psychological cases and sent for them and talked to them for hours. And if you knew the right sort of things to say to the Head, the main result was that you became rather a favorite than otherwise.”

The school is called Experiment House and it’s a drab, dull place where, even though it gives the appearance of “everyone doing what they liked,” it’s really a place where everyone must fit in and those who don’t are singled out and persecuted.

The two heroes of the story, Scrubb and Jill, don’t fit in at all, and are being chased by a group of bullies when they come up against the wall at the back of the garden. They are trapped, with nowhere else to turn. In the wall is a door that is always locked. But on this occasion, it opens.

They expected to see the gray, heathery slope of the moor going up and up to join the dull autumn sky. Instead, a blaze of sunlight met them. It poured through the doorway as the light of a June day pours into a garage when you open the door. It made the drops of water on the grass glitter like beads and showed up the dirtiness on Jill’s tear-stained face.”

And so, just as they are about to be caught, Scrubb grabs Jill’s hand and pulls her “through the door, out of the school grounds, out of England, out of our world into That Place.”

I wonder if children read these books anymore? I wonder if children read books at all anymore, or if they simply stare at a lit-up screen and talk into it and it talks back. These books could well be banned as white supremacist propaganda soon anyway. Who knows?

Lewis isn’t very nice to adults in his books. But that’s because adults aren’t very nice to children. Adults have lost their sense of wonderment. The boisterous actions of children are hateful because they remind adults of what they have lost. Children must conform.

Every child who is a little bit different understands exactly how Scrubb and Jill feel. For those who don’t fit in, school is a terrifying place of torture and dread.
What we are now doing to our children with masks and vaccines is a way to make children so compliant that they never think another thought that makes them question what is “behind the door in the wall.”

Children are the bargaining chips held over the heads of those parents who are also inclined towards being just a little bit different. The consequences of being different used to be so benign. Now they could very well be death.

Someone who was once considered a friend might sneeze or touch another person’s hand, or laugh too vigorously and they will become infected. Of course it is better to live in isolation, dependent on electronic devices for amusement and companionship. The world outside is just too unpredictable.

In my last piece Happily Slipping into Our Straight Jackets, I talked about the history of drugging our children and how it has led us to so easily give up our children on the altar of Big Pharma. This, in turn, led us to where we are now, allowing the State to administer an experimental vaccine to our children, and soon even to babies.

As of late May over 600,000 children have received a first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccination. By late June, over ~7 million people younger than 18 have been vaccinated.

Yet it is still only green-lit for emergency use. Why are we doing this? Why are we using our children as guinea pigs to protect adults, when it’s been shown that this illness barely affects children, nor do they easily transmit it?

Most troubling, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are the first-ever authorized vaccines to use mRNA. Let me just say, I am not an anti-vaxxer. However, I admit that since the start of this pandemic, I, along with a lot of other people, have begun to question things that I once simply believed because our government told me I should.

A year ago, I was living in Luxor, Egypt, having all kinds of wild adventures while my friends back home were locked in their houses and apartments. I’ve written about those experiences in a series of three essays here. Like most people, I already accepted that not everything I read in the news was true. But I never realized how bad the lies were until the pandemic struck.

From my vantage point far away across the world, in a place that didn’t close down because villages just can’t do that, I began to notice how every single news outlet said the same things. Used the same buzz words. I saw how the tension was building between President Trump and his pandemic task force, in particular Dr Fauci. I watched how at every turn, no matter what Trump said, right or wrong, he had to be discredited.

When Trump closed down travel to China, he was accused of xenophobia. To “send a message” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi toured San Francisco’s Chinatown, saying there was no reason tourists or locals should be staying away. The day after Trump’s travel ban, Biden accused him of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. And yet, months later the media made it out that Trump hadn’t done enough and if Biden had been in charge, he would have done much more. What would he have done? Kept the borders open as he is doing now? Everything is a contradiction.

When Trump tried to reassure the public so as not to create a panic, he was accused of purposefully lying to the American people. Yet this was information he got directly from Fauci and he has never been accused of the same. Fauci waffled back and forth on masks, admitting that he lied to the public about masks not being effective in stopping the spread of COVID. Apparently he did this so there wouldn’t be a shortage for health workers. The press doesn’t seem to have a problem with this.

But if our number-one infectious disease expert admits that he lied to us, how do we know he won’t do it again “for our own good?” What we have learned from all of this is that truth doesn’t matter. As long as the lies are making us feel the way we are supposed to feel, we swallow them.

How were we supposed to know Fauci was right and all the other scientific experts who disagreed with him were wrong? It didn’t matter. There could be no dissent.
I saw how information was kept from the public. I became frustrated and began looking for information elsewhere. I had never really listened to Fox News. So, I checked it out. I quickly learned that I could not share anything I discovered on social media. I would be laughed at, screamed at, and unfriended. I couldn’t say that it was giving me a perspective I wasn’t getting on CNN. Not necessarily right or wrong. Just another perspective. And I needed at least one opposing viewpoint from which to compare the State approved information I was receiving.

New media outlets cropped up like Newsmax. I began to appreciate The Epoch Times. I listened to and watched the videos of journalists like Andy Ngo who were out in the field filming raw footage of the riots that mainstream reporters refused to let us see. I read his book, Unmasked, and learned how he was discredited by mainstream reporters. I have a lot of respect for Andy Ngo and I am grateful for his courageous reporting, in the face of physical attacks and death threats that became so bad, he had to move out of the country.

Way back in April of 2020, Mike Pompeo demanded the truth from Beijing as to whether COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab during experiments and China covered it up by blaming ‘wet’ food markets. This sounded plausible to me. Yet, Pompeo now says he received pushback against any type of investigation. Like so many other plausible theories put forward by Trump and his team, all reference to COVID originating in a lab were removed from the internet. Anyone daring to talk about it was labeled a conspiracy theorist and shut out of their social media accounts.

Now, suddenly, it’s all over the news. A year after TRASHING the theory that COVID originated from a Wuhan lab because Trump supported the suggestion – America’s woke mainstream news outlets suddenly start asking if it’s true!

Why? That is a mystery I would like to find the answer for.

And then there’s Hydroxychloroquine. And, I should add Ivermectin. Although I don’t go into it here, it’s the same scenario and you will see it in the news a lot lately—too late for so many people.

In April 2020, a small French study showed HCQ combined with azithromycin, an antibiotic, was safe and effective in lowering COVID-19’s virus count in patients who had first contracted the disease. Mr. Trump immediately cited the study — as it was good news — the world was at the height of the pandemic and HCQ had been approved and used by physicians for 85 years to treat both malaria and some autoimmune diseases.

Instead of this being greeted as hopeful, it was immediately trashed in the media. Fake news. Not following the science. But I wondered. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Big Pharma in collusion with anyone investing into it had good reason to discredit HCQ. The medication was cheap and easily administered. If millions of people started taking this drug, in conjunction with other therapeutics, and they started getting better, what justification would there be for vaccinating the entire world?

When, in July of 2020, a group calling themselves America’s Frontline Doctors, stood upon the steps of our capital building and spoke of the merits of hydroxychloroquine, describing masks as unnecessary, they were derided as quacks. A video of their impassioned speech immediately went viral and was removed from all social media by the next day.

It became apparent to me that anyone, no matter how prominent, no matter how upstanding, who dared to question the State-sanctioned propaganda were being silenced, discredited and fired from their positions. Why weren’t we listening to them?

If, as Fauci was always saying and continues to say to this day, “we simply don’t know [fill in the blank]”, why wouldn’t they welcome the help of a wider range of expertise? These were doctors who put their reputations on the line to speak out. They were in the trenches, actually treating patients. They weren’t theorists like Dr Fauci, playing god in laboratories, receiving grants from Big Pharma with the understanding they needed to reach the required conclusion.
I was inclined to think maybe these doctors had something important to say. Yet still, when I tried to make that suggestion on social media, again, I was shot down. People were really getting worried about me. I was being brainwashed.

By whom? I was merely comparing possibilities. Once upon a time, that was called critical thinking. Now, everyone’s minds were completely closed to any inquiries. I had never experienced anything like it.

Perhaps future generations will look back on the denial of HCQ and Ivermectin to the public to treat this illness as one of the greatest crimes in history. How many lives could have been saved if these inexpensive and easily accessible drugs, along with other therapeutics, had been used early on? Perhaps millions.
Renowned public health officials from around the world denounced the draconian measures being taken in “The Great Barrington Declaration:”
The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Immediately, all of these experts were discredited and silenced. The all-encompassing power to control information was becoming apparent.

Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test himself said it was not a reliable test for viruses. His words were silenced, or twisted around to mean something else, even though what he said was very plain.

In the meantime, the flu magically disappeared. That was because of masks and lockdowns we were told. But then, why didn’t it work for COVID?
If even the testing method we were using wasn’t accurate, or could be fiddled with to create more or less positive results when needed, how could we be sure of anything?

We have a video from 2017 where Dr. Fauci actually warned of a pandemic and a surprise outbreak. But it doesn’t seem to be of significance.
We have Dr. Fauci’s treasure trove of emails, where it looks like he potentially tried to hide the very real possibility that the virus came from the Wuhan lab. The emails show him flip-flopping on masks, justifying it by saying well, the science changed.

But whose science? When only one voice is allowed—that being the voice of those who have everything to gain from hiding truth—then “science” becomes a tool for control rather than a method by which we find truth.

Despite the revelations, the state-run media, are still enamored with Fauci. Asking him delicate questions, drooling over his sainthood, just as they do over Biden’s grandfatherly and completely nonthreatening demeanor.

That is, except when Biden wakes up long enough, as he did at a recent event, to squint down at a little girl in the audience, of not more than 10 years of age, and say,
I uh, I love those barrettes in your hair, man. I tell you what, look at her. She looks like she’s 19 years old sitting there like a little lady with her legs crossed.”
A poll during voting showed that nearly half of Biden voters said their vote wasn’t for Biden so much as it was against Trump.

Anything would be better than that racist maniac Orange Man Bad.

Better to lie, better to have people die without the therapeutic drugs that could have saved them, better to let China off the hook, than to admit Trump was right about anything.

Fill people with so much fear and hatred they don’t suspect the obvious: That the gods behind the curtain; the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, are gaining absolute power over our minds and bodies and we are giving it up to them without blinking an eye.

During the pandemic the nation’s 644 billionaires gained almost $1 trillion in total net worth, according to a new analysis, while the poorer Americans struggle with lost wages and jobs. Doesn’t that mean anything to anybody? Aren’t the implications obvious?

Apparently not. I haven’t finished my Netflix series. Have you seen it? What do you recommend I watch next?

Take care of us. Keep us safe. Lull us to sleep with our smartphones and our drugs, cover our faces, administer our vaccines.

Once Trump was gone, anyone who thought the same, namely anyone who questioned the State, needed to be discredited as well. A line was drawn. There was no middle ground.

Either you were a masker and a vaxxer or you were a heretic. And we all know what happens to heretics.

When January 6th occurred, Biden called it the worst terrorist event in our history. Domestic terrorism, that’s what we are up against now. Even though those who stormed the capital were let in by the police, had no weapons, and killed no one. Called murderers when the only person murdered that day was Ashli Babbitt. Journalist Tayler Hansen, @TaylerUSA, who filmed Ashli Babbitt’s death, identified the officer responsible for the shooting as Lieutenant Mike Byrd, a Black man. Hansen was subsequently arrested. True to form, the mainstream media showed no interest in investigating Ashli Babbitt’s death.

Obviously. It would have gone against the narrative.

In a recent speech, Biden declared white supremacists the ‘most lethal threat’ to US, as he marked Tulsa race massacre.

Where is this terrible, out of control threat? To compare what happened that day when a bunch of losers entered the capital—video footage even showing police officers inviting them in—to 9/11 is an insult to all who died when terrorists rammed those planes into the World Trade Center. 2,977 people were killed that day and more than 6,000 injured.

It is an insult to all who died during the BLM and Antifa riots, to those who were trapped inside government buildings when rioters tried to burn them down, to small neighborhood businesses that were destroyed. BLM riots caused over $1 billion of damage, ‘yet media says they’re mostly peaceful’.
Most of all, it’s an insult to the nearly 300 children who were shot and killed in 2020, a 50% increase from 2019, and the more than 5,100 children aged 17 and younger were killed or injured, within their own neighborhoods.

So, who are these white supremacists endangering our country? They are fast becoming defined as every person who does not agree with the State.
How do you succeed in silencing almost 80,000,000 people or maybe even more? Trump warned that when he was gone, his attackers would not be finished. “Then they will come for you.”

Anyone who refuses to submit to this vaccine will receive this label. Anyone who refuses to submit their child to this vaccine will be given this label. It won’t matter whether you voted for Trump or not. That will be the label assigned to you.

Proof of vaccination is already being required in restaurants, where the unvaxxed must sit in a special section, wearing masks.

There are countless cases of employees being fired from jobs for not taking the jab. If you want to keep your job, you better take the jab.
Although we were previously told the federal government would leave mask mandates to local government and businesses, Homeland Security now says it is taking a close look at vaccine passports for international travel.

In January 2021, the Los Angeles Unified School District announced that it plans to require its students to receive the COVID vaccine once it is approved and available. Los Angeles Unified is the nation’s largest school district.
And so, we have now been divided into two camps. The vaxxed and the unvaxxed. Who will suffer the most from this? Who is already suffering the most?

Our children.
I hear from parents that they are receiving messages from schools to get their children on the waiting list to be vaccinated. The vaccine will be available in the fall for kids twelve and up. The parents who contact me are against vaccinating their children and say they will never give in. I don’t think they realize how bad it could get.
All the “good” parents will line up for it. All the “good” children will be rewarded for obeying the State by being allowed to attend school free of masks and lead a “normal” life. The children whose parents refuse will have to continue wearing masks. They will have to sit in a special section, eat and play separately.

As I showed in my previous essay with drugging children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, parents who do not conform to vaccinating their children will be seen as irresponsible. Those who are vaccinated will accuse them of selfishness, just as we see adults accusing the unvaxxed of this. Of putting the entire community as risk.

Imagine being those children, being used as examples of the evils of nonconformity. They will become pariahs among their peers and their teachers. They will be mocked, shamed and shunned.

Already, children at this age just want to fit in. The unvaxxed children will go home and beg for their parents to get them vaccinated. Children will turn against their parents. Those few kids who are natural free thinkers, like Scrubb and Jill, will suffer more than they ever have in the past. They will not even have the satisfaction of being thought of as cool by the outside crowd. There won’t be any outside crowd.

Only the vaxxed and the unvaxxed.
Where adults have been allowed to remove their masks — although many choose not to — children are still being forced to wear them. While the nation debates Dr Fauci’s emails and how much he really knew, how much information was hidden, how deeply involved he was in research at the Wuhan lab; all these things that for so long were labeled conspiracy theories and are now turning out to be true; our children continue to suffer the abuse of covering their mouths and noses eight hours a day both inside the classroom and outside in terrible heat as they attempt to play.

But according to parents I’ve spoken to, when their kids go home, they don’t go outside. Instead, they are on their tablets or i-pads, interacting on Tiktok, Instagram and Snapchat. They are uninterested in exercise. They are terrified of germs. And parents, busy online themselves, are ignorant as to what their children are engaging in.

During April to October 2020 in the US, emergency room visits linked to mental health problems (e.g. anxiety) for children aged 5-11 increased by nearly 25% and increased by 31% for those aged 12-17 years old as compared to the same period in 2019. During the month of June 2020, 25% of persons aged 18 to 24 in the US reported suicidal ideation. While some of this may be related to the pandemic, we suspect that it is largely a function of our response to the pandemic.

While “the most common experiences reported of online issues involved bullying or generally being made to feel uncomfortable, one in three participants reported having had an online sexual interaction,” a report said. Thorn report: Why you kids shouldn’t be on TikTik or Instagram | 7NEWS.com.au

Most participants reported receiving a “sext”, while 18 per cent had received a nude photo or video and 18 per cent had been asked to send a nude photo or video.
Children as young as five years old know how to use phones and tablets. It is their language. Jackie, a friend of mine who is a mother of a toddler and a social media influencer on Tiktok says “You wouldn’t believe what children are accessing online nowadays.”

The gods above us use their power to suppress knowledge of all that might expose them as the Machiavellian fraudsters that they are, yet no one is protecting our children from dangerous information.

What is a parent to do?
Move to the country. Start a commune. Start neighborhood learning centers with like-minded parents. I have heard many parents say, “If they try to force me to vaccinate my children, I will take them out.”

All well and good. But there are many who cannot afford to do this. Many will have no choice but to give in to the State. If they don’t, just as happened to parents who resisted putting their children on Ritalin, they will be accused of abuse and perhaps even have their children taken from them.
Just as happened to Patricia Weathers, who in 2020 took her 9-year-old son off an antidepressant and medication similar to Ritalin, because he was constantly gnawing at his shirt collar and had began to hear “voices.”

As a result, her son’s elementary school accused her of medical neglect and called child-abuse investigators. Years of battling the school in the courts took its toll until she finally won in court. But most people don’t have the knowledge or the resources to sustain such a battle.

School officials can force a parent to seek out a professional, such as a psychiatrist. And can they expel a child who doesn’t take medication or intimidate parents by threatening to phone social services or child-abuse investigators? Weathers says that’s what happened to her, and there are reports of other similar cases around the country.

All of this intimidation and training to comply was a precursor to what is happening now. With psychiatric drugs, the only person the State can claim you are putting at risk is your own child. With vaccines, they can claim you are putting the entire country at risk. Millions of lives are on your hands and the hands of other deplorables like you.

My daughter and her husband spent the past year in Slovenia where their two boys, ages three and two, have gone to daycare free of masks. In July, they are moving back to Los Angeles. They are against masks and the vaccine, both for themselves and their children.

They could not find a single daycare in their area that didn’t require children to wear masks.

And those daycares all reassured her — as if it would make her feel better — that once the vaccine was available and the tiny tots had taken it, they would be allowed to go mask free. At last, my daughter found one daycare that didn’t require masks. It was a private Christian school. So, that is where they will put their boys.

We already see signs of Christians schools being demonized.

A March article in Ms Magazine declared How Christian Schools and Homeschooling Teach Supremacist Conspiracies.

Statistically, homeschoolers do much better with learning and their futures than public school children. Yet academics such as Prof. Elizabeth Bartholet, are leading the charge against those who actively resist public schools and she believes that the generation currently being homeschooled is an eventual, if not active, breeding ground for racism, sexism, and isolationism.

“Many homeschool precisely because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to public education and to our democracy. Many promote racial segregation and female subservience. Many question science. Many are determined to keep their children from exposure to views that might enable autonomous choice about their future lives,” she claims.

My daughter certainly is not a white supremacist. She is not a Trump supporter. She has no interest in politics. She just wants to follow what she believes is best for her children.

Yet, if things keep going on as they are now, it is quite possible that anyone who doesn’t adhere to the “ideas and values central to public education and to our democracy,” meaning what is acceptable to the totalitarian state, will automatically be considered enemies of the state and as such, in need to reeducation, imprisonment, or perhaps even worse.

Some might accuse me of alarmism. Nothing would make me happier than to be proved an alarmist. However, unless people stand up and speak out, this is surely what we are facing. And I think those who are reading this who don’t want their children submitted to this experimentation and abuse know in their hearts this might well be what they are facing.

I want to end with a little story. I was raised by a Mennonite mother. There was much I rebelled against as a child, teenager. Despite my doubts and rebellions, I always knew I had a history to be proud of; a foundation of strong, courageous people who stood up for what they believed, even in the face of death. Before her passing my mother left each of her children a booklet with the history of our people.

She called the booklet A Far Journey. It tells the story of the Anabaptists who split from the Catholic Church and followed the teachings of a Dutch preacher named Menno Simmons, born in 1496.

This was a time of great upheaval. The Protestants were fighting for the right to free information for all. No longer should the gateway to God be blocked by priests and popes. No longer should the common man be kept from reading and interpreting the Sacred Scriptures for himself. This free information for all, brought about by the invention of the printing press, threatened the hold the powerful had on the ignorant souls beneath them.

Bloody battles ensued. The cause became politicized, of course, and used by both sides to gain more power. But as always, there were the common people who stood up for their rights. The Martyrs Mirror, a collection of records, letters and court accounts tells the stories of many of those who remained faithful and paid the price of their lives.

There is one letter in the collection from Janneken Muntsdorg, written from prison to her one-month-old daughter, also named Janneken. The mother bore her child in prison and the girl was taken from her. Knowing she would never see her daughter again, she wrote a letter for her to read one day. Part of it goes thus:
The true love of God and wisdom of the Father strengthen you in virtue, my dearest child; …and strengthen and confirm your understanding in His truth […] for if we were to continue in the world, we would have had no trouble. For when we were one with the world and practiced idolatry, and loved all manner of unrighteousness, we could live at peace with the world; but when we desired to fear God and to shun such improper ways…then they did not leave us in peace; then our blood was sought; then we had to be a prey to everyone, and become a spectacle to all the world. They seek here to murder and burn us; we are placed at posts and stakes, and our flesh is given as food to the worms.”

Words too drastic? I think not.

I recite these words if only to wake people up from their sleep! If only to remind us that many have gone before who suffered and died for the freedoms we enjoy. The freedoms to read and write, to worship and pray and speak as we choose. Not just for Christians, but for everyone. Everyone. The freedoms to agree and disagree. Even to believe outrageous “conspiracy” theories.

The internet has created a crisis even greater than the invention of the printing press. In those days, the information of the texts was limited to biblical knowledge. As time went on, that information grew. Now, a seemingly infinite wealth of information is at our fingertips. We are being told that information is dangerous. That we need to put it into the hands of the powerful once again. We must trust them as the doorkeepers between our minds and the mysteries of the universe.

Just as the reformers stood up for their rights to interpret texts on their own, so we must stand up for our rights to do the same.

Perhaps the day will come when the individual will submit to the will of the State and we will be more machine than we are flesh and blood. I know men like Elon Musk dream of this. He says we need these changes if we want to explore the universe, to travel to other planets. We need to evolve. I would love nothing more than to explore other planets. Perhaps losing our humanity little by little is the price we must pay for that “advancement.” If science fiction is any indication—and I tend to believe science fiction sometimes more than actual science—this is probably inevitable.

But that day is not today. For now, we must fight for the right to hold onto our freedoms. Oh, we can have intellectual discussions about how we aren’t really “free” and all of that, but I do know the difference between freedom and bondage.

I walked through Dachau as a child. I stood at the Berlin Wall and crossed the barrier from the land of the free into the land of the oppressed. From one step to the next, I passed from light into darkness. I was fortunate. I was allowed to pass back again, horribly aware of all the yearning souls I was leaving behind.
Don’t let the lies lull you to sleep. Don’t let cynicism overcome you.

I have faith that there will always be at least one Scrubb and one Jill in every school. Those who refuse to fit in. Those who still see the mystery beyond the wall.

Those who find the way out of darkness and into light.

I started with Salmon Rushdie and I will end with him. I saw him once at a party at a club, back in the 90s. He was a very ugly man, but he was with a very beautiful woman. I wondered about him. He looked so insignificant, yet what power his words had! So much power that they were dangerous to the regime in Iran and a price was put on his head. Yet there he sat, enjoying his life.

In those heretical Satanic Verses, he wrote:
What kind of idea are you? Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself to society, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damn-fool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze? – The kind that will almost certainly, ninety-nine times out of hundred, be smashed to bits; but, the hundredth time, will change the world.”

We may be smashed to bits. Still, let’s be the ones who change the world.

Dr. Mercola Interviews the Experts
This article is part of a weekly series in which Dr. Mercola interviews various experts on a variety of health issues. To see more expert interviews, click here.
In this interview, return guest Dr. Vladimir Zelenko discusses an incredibly serious concern, one shared with at least two other highly credible experts — Michael Yeadon, Ph.D., a life science researcher, and former vice-president and chief scientist of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer, and professor Luc Montagnier, a world-renowned virologist who won the Nobel prize for his discovery of HIV.

Yeadon, Montagnier, and Zelenko all believe the COVID-19 shots could reduce life expectancy by several decades, depending on several factors, including whether you’re required to get booster shots. In fact, there may be a reason to suspect that many who get the jabs and subsequent boosters could lose their lives within two to three years, as a result of pathogenic priming.1,2

Many may not realize that when I was a youngster I was a Boy Scout, but you might know their motto is “Be Prepared.” It is an approach that has served me well over the years. I am not stating unequivocally that dire outcome will materialize, as my interview, next week with Dr. Peter McCullough goes into. However, it would seem prudent to have a good protocol in your hands in anticipation of a worst-case scenario.

So, on that note, Zelenko and I take a deep dive into what can be done to prevent such a fate. Zelenko categorizes the risks of COVID-19 “vaccines” into three categories: acute, subacute, and long-term, so let’s begin by reviewing the primary risks found in each of these categories.

Risk Category No. 1 — Acute Risks
The acute phase of harm begins at the moment of injection and likely lasts for about three months or so. Based on reports filed with the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), it’s clear that many cannot survive past the acute phase.

About 6,000 deaths have been reported so far, and death commonly occurs within 48 hours of injection. Many serious disabling events also occur rather rapidly, typically within a few days or weeks. However, Zelenko has a very dismal perspective on the accuracy of the VAERS database. He explains:
“According to a paper published by the Salk Institute in San Diego, they’ve discovered that the spike protein that’s generated through the vaccination itself has negative health effects. It’s toxic … on its own …

There’s plenty of evidence that shows that it spreads from the injection site and goes to the bloodstream, and basically comes into every single cell in the body.3,4
mRNA has a half-life of around one to two weeks, depending on the mRNA, and during that interim, each mRNA molecule makes around 2,000 to 5,000 spike proteins. So, we’re talking about trillions and trillions of spike proteins.

Your entire body becomes a spike protein factory. Several orders of magnitude more than if you were to get COVID, because COVID infects the upper and lower airways primarily. Those are the cells that get infected and begin to produce spike proteins. But here we’re injecting the vaccine and it actually travels to every single cell in your body and converts every single cell in your body into a factory for spike proteins.”

As the mRNA disseminates through your vascular system, the cells lining your blood vessels begin producing spike protein. This is why we’re seeing such a staggering number of reports of people experiencing blood clots from these injections.

According to Zelenko, 40% of these events occur within the first two days after injection. The risk then diminishes, but vascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, renal infarcts, and pulmonary infarcts don’t completely peter out until about three months after the last injection.

But these events of the past three months are not being reported to VAERS. It is, of course, possible that people simply aren’t connecting them to the COVID shot they got several months earlier.

How Many Have Actually Died From the COVID Shots?
As noted by Zelenko, underreporting is part of the problem we’re facing. The real number of side effects is impossible to determine, given the fact that the Food and Drug Administration didn’t insist on a robust post-vaccination data collection system, but it’s most certainly higher than what VAERS is listing.

“If you look at the VAERS [vaccine adverse event reporting system], which in my opinion is a piece of garbage … as of today, let’s say says there’s 6,000 deaths associated with taking the vaccine. Well, we need to understand what that actually means,” Zelenko says.

“If you look at the 2009 Harvard study on the VAERS system, they said only 1% of events are actually reported. So, OK … whatever the number is, it’s not 6,000. Maybe only 10% are being reported. I don’t know. But definitely, it’s being underreported.

And then there’s two [additional] big problems. There’s evidence coming out that VAERS reports that have been filed are being erased off the server, No. 1. No. 2, I personally know of two dozen cases of deaths associated with the vaccine, and the doctor and/or family members that tried to file a VAERS report, their reports were rejected due to some technicality.

The fact that they all couldn’t make a report, that raises my eyebrows. What percentage of the information are we actually seeing? The answer is, I estimate, there are already around 200,000 dead Americans, directly related to the vaccinations.”

To get to that number, Zelenko assumes only 10%5 of adverse effects are reported. Studies have indicated it could be as low as 1%.6,7 That gives us a death toll of about 60,000, to which he adds another 140,000 given the fact that reports are being scrubbed and refused.

“The point is that it should definitely raise eyebrows and have the public start screaming and saying, ‘We want to know the truth. We want to know the accurate numbers. Stop suppressing the truth … I want to be able to make an informed choice whether or not I want to take this injection.’ And that’s not being given to the people.

My problem is not with the vaccine. My problem is with the government, governing bodies and certain people that are obstructing the flow of life-saving information and suppressing the truth from people, and then using coercion to force people to take this vaccine. That’s the nefarious part.

The suppression is so blatant and so overt that doctors with impeccable credentials are being de-platformed for just voicing an opinion. And then you couple that together with proven prehospital treatment approaches and protocols that have been proven to reduce hospitalization and death by 85%, and that information is being suppressed.

So here you have dual censorship where the positive, hopeful, life-saving information is being suppressed and the dangerous outcomes of the vaccination approach is being suppressed. It’s a perfect setup for genocide.”

Risk Category No. 2 — Subacute Risks
The subacute risk phase, which begins around three months post-injection, is exceedingly difficult to quantify. At a bare minimum, it’s likely to last several months to a couple of years. The primary concern now is an antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), also referred to as pathogenic priming and/or paradoxical immune enhancement (PIE) as it more accurately describes the disease mechanism.

Zelenko believes the mRNA will have degraded by this time, and your cells will hopefully no longer produce spike protein. I believe he may be overly optimistic here, as the synthetic mRNA has been genetically modified to be less perishable, plus it’s encased in a nano lipid to resist breakdown.

I suspect this modified mRNA may remain viable for longer than anyone suspects, thanks to its synthetic nature. What’s more, there’s a mechanism by which the mRNA can be reverse transcribed into your DNA, which would make the spike protein production permanent — and probably intergenerational. I describe this process in “The Many Ways in Which COVID Vaccines May Harm Your Health.”

If Zelenko is correct, then the primary disease agent now switches from the spike protein to the antibodies produced in response to the spike protein. We don’t know how long these antibodies will last, but chances are they’ll stick around for a number of months or years.

While antibody production is the primary purpose of these shots, and the response said to provide you an immune benefit, they can actually be the source of problems.

Animal trials in which conventional coronavirus vaccines were tested have shown coronavirus vaccines routinely cause ADE,8,9,10,11,12 so when the animals are challenged with the real virus they’ve been immunized against, they can get seriously ill and even die. If hospitals start filling up with vaccinated individuals this fall, you’ll know why. They’re suffering the effects of ADE.

“In other words, those antibodies that were produced with the vaccination were pathologic,” Zelenko says. “They were lethal and they led to an exaggerated immune response. That’s what it means, antibody-dependent enhancement. It’s an enhancement of your immune response in a way that will kill you …

The question is, how safe is it long-term, or in the subacute [phase] from three months to three years? That is a big question mark. Based on animal models — and this is what Dr. Mike Yeadon is saying — it could be absolutely genocidal. It’s the biggest gamble on the survival of humanity in the history of humanity.”
However, as a counter to this view, Dr. Peter McCullough, who is in complete agreement with the engineering of this event and it is one of the most egregious crimes against humanity, is not convinced that there will be a massive die-off in the fall.

He is well-trained in the science and has essentially completed a fellowship in COVID-19 along with being the senior editor of two prestigious medical journals so his opinion also deserves consideration. We will be posting his interview next Sunday, July 11, 2021.

Why Is Humanity’s Survival Being Risked?
The questions on many people’s minds right now are, “Why are lifesaving early treatment approaches suppressed?” “Why are the toxic side effects and death rates of the vaccines being suppressed?” and “Why are entire continents being coerced into taking a vaccine that is both medically unnecessary and unproven in terms of safety and effectiveness?”

Taken together, none of it makes any sense, which is why people like Yeadon, Montagnier, Zelenko, and others are raising concerns about global genocide. Is that what this is all about? Is there an alternative interpretation of what’s happening? When you consider the actual data, mass vaccination simply isn’t necessary, so why the frantic push to get a needle in every arm? Zelenko explains:
“There’s something called medical necessity. So, let’s analyze if there’s any medical necessity for this vaccine, and you have to do that in a systematic way based on demographics.

If you look at the CDC’s data, anyone 18 and younger has a 99.998% chance of recovery from COVID-19 with no treatment. [Their risk of dying is] 1 in a million. It’s safer than the influenza virus. If you gave me a choice, I would rather my kids have COVID-19 than influenza. So, why would I immunize a demographic that has close to a 100% chance of recovery with an experimental vaccine that has already killed more kids than the virus?

If you look at the demographic between 18 and 45, people who are healthy have a 99.95% chance of recovery with no treatment … according to the CDC. Same question, why would I vaccinate a demographic that recovers on its own with no treatment?

The third question, if someone has antibodies — and there’s a plethora of evidence [showing] naturally produced antibodies are much more effective in clearing future viruses than vaccine-induced antibodies … Natural immunity is much better, more effective and safer, than vaccine-induced immunity. So, someone who has antibodies already from having COVID before, why would I vaccinate them? …

Fear is an extremely useful tool in manipulating the behavior of people. And that fear has been used to create a psychological motivation to get vaccinated with a vaccine that, in my opinion, has no medical necessity, has a tremendous amount of actual and potential risks, and very questionable efficacy.”

Risk Category No. 3 — Long-Term Risks
Beyond the two-to-three-year mark are the long-term risks, which are even more difficult to predict. One particularly difficult risk to predict or quantify is infertility. It’ll take decades before we have the data on reproductive effects. Women in their 20s who get the jab might not get serious about trying to get pregnant until they’re in their 30s.

Teens and young children will have to wait decades before fertility can be ascertained. Of course, by then, it’ll be too late. The damage will be done, and hundreds of millions will be in the same boat.

Zelenko cites research published in The New England Journal of Medicine, which concluded COVID vaccination during pregnancy had no increased risk of miscarriage. However, a closer look at the data set revealed that this was only true for women who got vaccinated during their third trimester. Women who get the COVID jab in their first and second trimester have a 24-fold higher risk of miscarriage.

There are also reports of declining sperm counts and testicular swelling in men, and menstrual cycle disruptions in women of all ages. “There is an absolute effect on fertility,” Zelenko says. We just don’t know to what degree yet.

Overall life expectancy is likely to be affected across the board but, again, it’s very difficult to predict just how many years or decades will be lost. Zelenko, like many other doctors, suspects autoimmune diseases and cancer rates will go up as a result of the jabs. As noted by Zelenko:
“Whether you look at the acute spike protein-induced death, the miscarriages, or the myocarditis in young adults, or you look at the subacute pathogenic priming issue, or you look at the potential long-term effects of infertility, auto immune disease, and cancer, you have an absolute setup for a genocide. And that’s why these world-leading thought leaders, scientists, are cautioning people …

Let’s do a thought experiment. If COVID-19 were to infect every single human being on this planet and were not to be treated, what would be the overall global death rate? The answer is less than 1%, and I’m not advocating for that, by the way. That’s a lot of people still.

Now, what is going to be the death rate from global vaccination? That is going to be several orders of magnitude greater. And it actually depends on how far out you look. Because if someone’s meant to live 80 years and they live 60 years, how do you quantify that? …

We’re talking about 1.5 to 2 billion people [dying] for no reason, except the agendas of a few psychopaths or sociopaths. Why do I say that? It’s because there have been people advocating for population reduction for decades. I just saw a video from [U.K. prime minister] Boris Johnson’s father … advocating for the reduction of England’s population to 15 million …

This type of ideology exists. In this generation, it’s not really anti-Semitic. What it is, is there’s a small group of sociopaths that believe … they’ve evolved into a superhuman enlightened [state] that entitles them the right to dictate the course of history.

For example, Bill Gates in 2015 said the world population needs to be reduced by a certain percentage because of global warming or whatever. So, my question is a very simple question. He’s one of the main supporters and profiteers of global vaccination. Why would I take a vaccine for my health from someone is advocating for the reduction of the world population?

Another scary individual is Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum. He’s very influential. He wrote the book ‘COVID-19 The Great Reset.’ In 2016, in a French interview … Schwab made an announcement that within 10 years, all of humanity will be tagged with an identifier. If you look at the UN 2030 plan, which was crafted by the World Economic Forum, it says ‘America will no longer be a superpower.’

That’s a stated agenda. Then, my favorite is, ‘You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy. You won’t eat any meat. Fossil fuels will be prohibited. There’ll be a billion refugees, which will have to be integrated into your societies.’ So, my question is, what sociopath feels entitled to make a statement like ‘You will own nothing and you will be happy?

What entitles this type of individual, or group of individuals, to think that way? Well, they believe that they’re enlightened far beyond the average human or subhuman.”


War Against God
Zelenko, a devout Jew, believes the root of this global takeover is really a war against God. The implication is that life has sanctity, and if life has sanctity, we have human rights, “earned” by our birth alone. This is the source of natural law. And, if we have human rights, handed down by God, then no one has the right to decide how long any one of us should live, or how many people there should be on the planet.

“That’s God’s prerogative,” Zelenko says. “However, if you take that out and view people as no different than an animal, a Darwinist perspective or eugenics perspective, and basically survival of the fittest is the yardstick that you measure the dominance hierarchy of humanity, in that case, these people feel that they are on top of the pyramid, and that entitles them to decide if you and I should live …

I call the [COVID] vaccine ‘Zyklon-V.’ That is the gas the Nazis used to kill my relatives. So to express my sentiments, I call it Zyklon-V. It’s an absolute weapon of mass destruction. People are being lied to, and they’re running into the gas chambers themselves because of the pathogenic fear.”

How to Protect Your Health Post-Jab
If you or someone you know or love got the COVID jab and now have serious regrets, there are definite strategies you can use to protect your health.
It appears if you made it through the first three months OK, then your risk for blood clots is likely radically diminished. To counteract excessive clotting, an anticoagulant may be appropriate. A natural alternative with great promise is n-acetyl cysteine (NAC), as it has both anticoagulant13 and thrombolytic effects,14 meaning it may both prevent clots and break up clots that have already formed. Obviously, do not get any more booster shots.

In the subacute phase, your No. 1 goal will be to avoid ADE. The key to this is to avoid triggering a pathogenic immune reaction, and the only way to do that is to implement some sort of prophylactic protocol, i.e., a COVID, common cold, and influenza prevention protocol.

This is especially important for anyone that has received the COVID jab as they are at a high risk of having complications and are under the false impression that they are “protected” when actually they are at increased risk now that they got the jab and need to take extraordinary precautions.

Any symptoms of upper respiratory infection should also be treated immediately, not later. COVID is a multi-phase disease. The first phase is the viral phase, which lasts five to seven days. This is when it’s most easily treated. After Day 7, the disease typically progresses into the inflammatory phase, which requires different treatment.

Zinc supplementation is an important component for prevention and early treatment in the viral stage, as it impairs viral replication. You need to take it with a zinc ionophore, however, such as quercetin, EGCG (green tea extract), hydroxychloroquine, or ivermectin.

“The majority of the COVID protocols focus on inhibition of our RNA virus replication. What that means is that for a virus to make copies of itself, it needs to enter the human cell. In the case of RNA viruses, all the COVID, coronaviruses, and even the influenza viruses, use a common pathway called RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. That’s a very important enzyme.

That enzyme is what makes copies of the viral genetic material, which then enables new viruses to be formed and spread. So, if you inhibit the viral RNA replication process, you’ll eliminate viral spreading, viral growth. The beautiful thing about what we found with zinc is that zinc inhibits this enzyme extremely well if there’s another zinc [molecule] inside the cell.

But zinc cannot really get into the cell on its own. That’s where the concept of zinc ionophores comes in. Zinc ionophores open the door in the cell membrane and allow for zinc to go from outside of the cell, to the inside of the cell. And when you increase the concentration of zinc inside the cell, then it can effectively inhibit this enzyme, stopping most if not all, coronaviruses and influenza viruses from replicating.”

If you want to use either hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin and live in a state that restricts their use, look for online telehealth options. The American Frontline Doctors is one resource. They only charge $90 for a consultation and you will be able to get the prescription that you need. Do not use Ivermectin from veterinary sources as it may be contaminated and is not designed for human use.

If you’ve got the jab, consider yourself high risk for COVID and implement a daily prophylaxis protocol. This means optimizing your vitamin D, and taking vitamin C, zinc, and a zinc ionophore on a daily basis, at least throughout cold and flu season.

In addition to zinc and a zinc ionophore, you also need to optimize your vitamin D level. The range you’re looking for is 60 ng/mL to 80 ng/mL year-round. The appropriate dose of oral vitamin D3 is the dose that gets you within that range.

Vitamin C is another important component, especially if you’re taking quercetin, as they have synergistic effects. To effectively act as a zinc ionophore, quercetin needs vitamin C.

In an effort to make it easier for patients, Zelenko has developed an oral supplement that contains all four: vitamin C, quercetin, vitamin D3, and zinc. It’s called Z-Stack and can be purchased on zstacklife.com. For a downloadable “cheat sheet” of Zelenko’s protocol for COVID-19, visit VladimirZelenkoMD.com.

The take-home message here is that if you’ve got the jab, consider yourself high risk for COVID and implement a daily prophylaxis protocol. This means optimizing your vitamin D, and taking vitamin C, zinc, and a zinc ionophore on a daily basis, at least throughout cold and flu season.

It would also be useful to do a daily sauna. Ideally, one that can heat up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. The best saunas are far-infrared and have low EMFs. Sadly, I don’t know any that go to 170 degrees and are low EMF.

I use one that goes to 170 and then I turn it off and turn on the SaunaSpace four near the IR bulb system in the sauna and go in for 20 minutes. This practice activates heat shock proteins which will help remove the spike proteins and improve other damaged proteins in your body.

If you’re low risk for COVID and have not been vaccinated, make sure you have these items on hand and begin treating at the very first signs of cold or flu symptoms.

Nebulized Peroxide and Other Health Promoting Measures
In addition to NAC (to prevent and break up clots), vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin, and zinc, buy yourself a tabletop jet nebulizer, some saline solution, and food-grade hydrogen peroxide. You’ll want to dilute the peroxide with saline to get a 0.1% solution.

Due to risks to my personal safety, we had to remove the nebulized peroxide videos from the site but they are now up on our substack site and you can view all of them here.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lrc-cdn/ass...-18-221715.jpg

Nebulized peroxide is my personal go-to both for prevention and treatment, regardless of the stage the respiratory infection is in. To learn more, download Dr. Thomas Levy’s free e-book, “Rapid Virus Recovery.” As a preventive measure, simply nebulize every other day. Vitamin C is important here too, as it works as a catalyst for the peroxide. A daily dose of 500 milligrams would likely be sufficient for most.

We were forced to remove all the hydrogen peroxide videos that I had previously posted for liability reasons but fortunately, they are all now posted on our Substack site. This is important as, in my view, this is the most important step you can take. I would recommend nebulizing a 0.1% solution every day as indicated in the videos, linked below.
There is no danger in doing it every day and likely there is a health benefit. As Dr. Tom Levy describes in one of the videos below, it seems to help improve your bowel movements, which may be a result of eliminating respiratory pathogens that were having a negative impact on your microbiome.

Other important health-preserving strategies include the following:
•Make sure you’re metabolically flexible so that your body can seamlessly transition between burning fat and sugar as your primary fuel. This will allow your innate immune system to function optimally. Time-restricted eating is one surefire way to accomplish this.

•Avoid processed seed oils in your diets, such as sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, or avocado oils. All contain high levels of linoleic acid, which impairs your mitochondrial function, and in upper respiratory infections, it’s the precursor for the Leukotoxin that occurs in these infections.

•Focus on certified-organic foods to minimize your glyphosate exposure, and include plenty of sulfur-rich foods to keep your mitochondria and lysosomes healthy. Both are important for the clearing of cellular debris, including these spike proteins. You can also boost your sulfate by taking Epsom salt baths.

•To combat the toxicity of the spike protein, you’ll want to optimize autophagy, as this may help digest and remove the spike proteins. Time-restricted eating will upregulate autophagy, while sauna therapy, which upregulates heat shock proteins, will help refold misfolded proteins. They also tag damaged proteins and target them for removal.

It is important that your sauna is hot enough (around 170 degrees Fahrenheit) and does not have high magnetic or electric fields.

•If you’re having post-vaccination symptoms, you could consider:
◦Low-dose interferons such as Paximune, stimulate your immune system
◦Peptide T (an HIV entry inhibitor derived from the HIV envelope protein gp120; it blocks binding and infection of viruses that use the CCR5 receptor to infect cells)
◦Cannabis, to strengthen Type I interferon pathways, which are part of your first line of defense against pathogens
◦Dimethylglycine or betaine (trimethylglycine) to enhance methylation, thereby suppressing latent viruses
◦Silymarin or milk thistle to help cleanse your liver

How Breakdown Cascades Into Collapse

July 19, 2021
Maintaining the illusion of confidence, permanence and stability serve the interests of those benefiting from the bubbles and those who prefer the safety of the herd, even as the herd thunders toward the precipice.


The misconception that collapse is an all-or-nothing phenomenon is common: Either the system rights itself with a bit of money-printing and rah-rah or it collapses into post-industrial ruin and gangs are battling over the last stash of canned beans.

Neither scenario considers the fragility and resilience of the socio-economic system as a whole. It is both far more fragile than the believers in the permanence of the waste is growth model grasp and more resilient than the complete collapse prognosticators grasp.

The recent relatively mild logjams in global supply chains of essentials are mere glimpses of precariously fragile delivery-supply systems. These can be understood as bottlenecks that only insiders see, or as unstable nodes through which all the economy's connections run. Put another way, the economy's as a network appears decentralized and robust, but this illusion vanishes when we consider how the entire economy rests on a few unstable nodes.

One such node is the delivery of gasoline and fuels. It's such an efficient and reliable system that 99.9% of us take it for granted: there will always be plenty of gasoline at every station, the tanks of jet fuel will always be topped off, and so on.

The 0.1% know that this system, once disrupted, would knock over dominoes all through the economy.

Hyper-efficiency and hyper-globalization have reduced the number of producers of essentials to the point that disruptions cannot be overcome with redundant sources. We see this everywhere in the global economy: a handful of plants and companies (sometimes a single source of essential components) process or manufacture essential components in much larger systems.

This is how you end up with thousands of newly manufactured vehicles parked in lots awaiting one critical part that is in short supply.

Another key weakness is the entire system's reliance on debt, leverage, and speculation. Few seem to understand that physical production and delivery systems can grind to a halt for financial reasons--for example, lines of credit being pulled, a counterparty to some arcane commodity swap goes under, taking the presumably solvent corporation down with it, and so on.

The more debt that's been piled up, the greater the instability of the entire system. Risk always appears low until the system destabilizes, and then all the hedges fail and risk breaks out, flooding through the entire financial system.

Leverage is great fun on the way up, as it magnifies gains. Since the Federal Reserve implicitly guarantees that "buy the dip" will generate massive gains, why not ramp up leverage ten-fold to maximize those Fed-guaranteed gains?

Leverage is less fun on the way down. When the underlying collateral has shrunk to 20% of the leveraged bets being made, a 21% decline in the asset wipes out all the collateral holding up the palace of leveraged debt.

The Fed can print money but it can't create collateral, nor can it make insolvent entities solvent. All the Fed can do is increase the debt and leverage, which is not the solution, it's the problem.

Speculation is also inherently unstable, as the euphoric herd, once startled, turns in panic and stampede in fear. Markets that appeared liquid--i.e., sellers could count on someone buying as many millions of shares as they desired to sell--become illiquid, as buyers vanish like mist in Death Valley. With buyers gone, prices plummet to levels the herd reckoned "impossible" just days before.

The Fed's entire strategy in the 21st century has been to inflate asset bubbles that generate the illusion of wealth--the so-called wealth effect which is presumed to inspire voracious borrowing and spending.

Unfortunately for the Fed, most of the gains flowed to the top 0.1%, and an economy based on a handful of billionaires buying super-yachts and spaceships is a line of dominoes awaiting the inevitable "accident." So there are two systemic problems with relying on asset bubbles to generate "wealth": 1) since 90% of the assets are owned by a thin slice of the populace, bubbles increase destabilizing inequality, and 2) bubbles are intrinsically unstable. So the U.S. economy, dependent on the Fed for the "juice" of monetary stimulus, is now dependent on incredibly unstable bubbles in assets, debt, and leverage, bubbles which have generated extremes of wealth/income inequality that are destabilizing the social and political orders.

As the three charts below illustrate, the fragility and instability are well hidden until it's too late: bubbles, debt, leverage, budgets, and revenues can only click higher because the system breaks down if there is any sustained decline (the rising wedge model of breakdown). Once the subsystems fail, there's no putting the eggshell back together.

The second chart depicts how buffers thin beneath the surface, masking the systemic fragility. The loss of redundancy, the decay of maintenance, the loss of experienced workers--all of these are hidden from public view until the system breaks down.

The third chart tracks the S-curve of expansion, confidence, complacency, delusion, and collapse followed by human systems, from nations to empires to corporations: as the buffers thin and the rising wedge reaches an apex of vulnerability, the leadership evinces delusional confidence in the permanence and stability of increasingly fragile, unstable systems.

Maintaining the illusion of confidence, permanence and stability serve the interests of those benefiting from the bubbles and those who prefer the safety of the herd, even as the herd thunders toward the precipice.

This is how breakdowns in apparently stable subsystems trigger the fall of dominoes throughout the larger system, leading to a collapse that was widely viewed as "impossible." Such is the power of complacency and delusion.

Thousands apply for grueling jobs in Amazon warehouses, low-paid serfdom with only one purpose: increasing the profits of billionaires. Wouldn't it be beneficial if those people had an alternative source of paid work that served the interests of their family and community?

Many people dismiss my proposed alternative (CLIME) as too idealistic to work in the real world. Nobody says corporations are too idealistic to work in the real world, yet CLIME is a system of community-owned and run corporations. The only difference between the two is the purpose and ownership.

CLIME: Community-Owned Corporations

The world has entered an era of profound uncertainty. The Old Normal is gone for good, and the deck is shifting ominously beneath our feet. Now is the moment to ask: what would a fairer, more sustainable system look like? How would it be better for me, humanity, and the planet?

Even before the global upheavals, our system was failing. Now that it's unraveling, it's time for a new arrangement that's actually sustainable on our resource-depleted planet that doesn't favor wealthy insiders. But those gorging on inequality will never accept reforms that strip away their unearned privileges, and so the only practical way forward is a Hacker's Teleology.

What's a Hacker's Teleology? A hack is a workaround in a kludgy, broken system-- a new way of connecting the dots. Teleology means the destination we end up reaching because that's where the dots lead.

In this book, I connect the dots of my own life experiences to show how a sustainably fair way of organizing human activity would work. In telling my story, I'm also telling our story, because we all share our limited-resources world and the same aspirations for fairness, belonging, getting ahead and a say in our future.

So let's get started on an arrangement that actually works for all of us--and our world. Read excerpts of the book for free (PDF).

The battle for human rights has unfolded over the course of thousands of years. The oldest record is that of the Cyrus Cylinder, which is an ancient clay artifact that has been called the oldest-known charter of universal human rights and a symbol of Cyrus’ humanitarian rule. The cylinder dates from the 6th century BC and was discovered in the ruins of Babylon in 1879.

The cuneiform script is considered by many Biblical scholars to be evidence of Cyrus’s policy of repatriation of the Jewish people following their captivity in Babylon. Persians’ Zoroastrian faith was the source of religious tolerance. The three wise men in the Nativity Scene at the birth of Christ were Zorasters from Persia.
When Cyrus conquered Babylon, he even left most local officials to retain power but placed his governors called satraps overseeing each province. In spring 526 BC, after a reign of only a few months, Pharaoh Psammetichus III had been defeated by Cyrus’ son Cambyses II, and Egypt thereby became part of the Persian Empire.

Cyrus the Great was perhaps the first to show mercy to those he conquered and set the standard for human rights. Those in power always seek to dominate the Great Unwashed for whatever reason. What makes them thrilled with such power to suppress others has never really been fully explained. Ironically, 3 x 8.6 = 25.8.

The year 2032 will be 2580 years from the first charter of human rights. Categories: Human Rights

Spread the love https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...1/07/AUDIT.jpg

Many people have written in about the ongoing audits of the 2020 election, which seem to be spreading from state to state. I believe Roman has done a fair unbiased review of Arizona on Epoch TV. We are witnessing forensic audits now also in Pennsylvania. There are calls for audits now even in Wisconsin. I believe these audits are essential. I maintain that they would in no way remove Biden and put Trump back in the White House. However, it could result in recalling anyone who did not win a seat in the Senate, since the Senate is to represent the state. The corruption in Georgia has led to the state demanding the top election officials in Fulton County be fired or the state will seize control of the county.

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...20/03/2022.gif

The problem with all of this and the Democrats trying to block all audits only calls into question whether the election was rigged. If there is nothing to find, then conduct a bipartisan audit. The refusal to do so is destroying the confidence in the entire election process. If people do not TRUST the election, then they will march upon Capitol Hill and drag them out as they did in ancient Rome. Pelosi’s fence will not protect her. Will she order the police to massacre the people?

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...ltsin-Tank.jpg
It is one of the classic images of modern history when Boris Yeltsin spoke on top of a tank outside the parliament in Moscow on August 19, 1991 (1991.63), telling the soldiers not to fire on the people. A half-cycle will be due 2021.73, which will be September 24, 2021. This will be 30.1 years from that event, but the pi target will be 2023.03.

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...-9-25-2020.jpg

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...-9-25-2020.jpg

With Panic Cycles showing up in 2022 and 2024 on our election models, blocking these audits will be devastating to the confidence in government going forward. If Trump was wrong, then do a bipartisan audit and prove he was wrong. That would restore confidence in the election process. Of course, if the audits prove corruption engulfed the 2020 election, then the Democrats calling it flawed or corrupt will not carry the day. They have refused to participate and are declaring the audits as wrong. That will not prevail, and they are putting the entire future of the political system at risk.

This is what 2032 seems to be warning — the end of representative government as we have known it — and that is not my personal opinion nor my desire.

A person whose acts require correction, but who is too stubborn to accept words of reproof, will find himself suddenly broken. The people benefit from righteous leadership, but evil rulers cause them to sigh from their troubles. A son who pursues wisdom pleases his father, but one who pursues women of questionable morals wastes his family fortune. (Rashi says the metaphor is for one who picks and chooses – “I like these laws, so I’ll accept them, but not these…”) A king may establish his nation with righteousness, but arrogant judges can tear it all down by refusing to listen to the litigants.

A person who flatters his friend lays a trap for him. The evil is also caught in a trap, but the righteous are spared and rejoice. Righteous people know the needs of the poor, but the wicked are willfully oblivious. Angry people can embroil an entire city in controversy, but wise people can inspire the people to improve their ways, thus turning aside G-d’s wrath. When a wise man debates with a foolish man, whether done in anger or with laughter, it will not be satisfactory – either way the fool will remain a fool! (Rashi brings examples of Kings Achaz and Amatzya. Whether G-d permitted them to defeat their enemies or be defeated, those kings persisted in their idolatry.)

Violent people hate the innocent, but righteous people watch out for their spiritual needs. (So interprets Rashi, though he acknowledges that others read this verse differently.) A fool lets it all out, but a wise man carefully chooses his words. A king who listens to lies will find himself surrounded by servants all too happy to take advantage of that flaw. Through the education process, G-d enlightens both the student and the teacher.

Correcting someone’s behavior will make him wiser; letting a child run wild does him a disservice. When wicked people reign, there is chaos, but the righteous can outlast the evil regime. In Solomon’s future (our past), the people would cause the prophecy to cease. Without this guidance, their standards will slip, but one who keeps the Torah can remain true to G-d. People do not often change their ways based on words alone; even though they understand, they are not motivated without some repercussion.

You have a better chance of educating a fool than you do a person who is quick to speak. If you pamper your urge to indulge yourself, it will rule you instead of the other way around. Angry people cause arguments and their anger leads them to sin. Arrogant people will be humbled by their own egos, but modest people will be honored. An accomplice to a crime must hate himself or he wouldn’t get involved in someone else’s evil. People seek out the ruler to judge their cases, but the judge’s power of insight comes from G-d. The righteous hate evil and the wicked hate goodness.

If you allow that government officials commit treason, offering aid and comfort to the enemy, by undermining inherent freedoms and allotted powers of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights—then traitors are everywhere.

A rather loose, sweeping definition, but one I can abide with. And looking over the landscape, it works for me. Where to start? If it is true that the Biden Administration supports and assists 'flagging' statements on Facebook that are not supportive of corporate/government positions on 'vaccines', that's in direct conflict with 1st Amendment—free speech.

Unlike government support for social networks doing dirty worker them, this is doing it themselves, undermining vital interests of the republic. 'Establishment' positions, often made in terms of profit and power, just as often prove to be wrong. As in the stance that this virus could not have been a lab release, or Ivermectin does not work. What hasn't made the news is Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA, who has been speaking out about the danger of 'vaccines' without human trials, and being advised to hire security because his life is at risk.

Malone's life is at risk because there is no 'rule of law' in this nation—because the elite allows armed mobs to conduct unchecked 'insurrection' in major cities, in support of 'identity politics, 'collective' rule. Calling what happened in DC on January 6th, a coup begs the question. A better definition for 'a coup' is found in congressional foreign policy voting records.

Uproar over January 6 protests functions to stifle discussion on whether or not the election was fraudulent. That stifling is a coup—and treasonous support of mob rule over fair elections. State elections are being looked into—if they prove massive fraud, what then? Where you find treason, traitors abide. We see news articles indicating government support for organizing 'smart mobs' online to destabilize the Cuban Government.

Two things: Under the Constitution, active US support in undermining another nation's government—is likely treason. And to make it more ridiculous, nations that we call out as 'commies', are more like our present administration than not. We voted for the 'Bolshevik' party this past November—likely not in the numbers needed to win—but when did 'commies' ever play fair? In a nation with insignificant onshore production, where the government regulates any and all production and is responsible for having destroyed capitalism, then blames capitalism for its failure—keep an eye out for 'commie' traitors. Treason is everywhere. Twitter shuts down critiques of established positions on climate.

The government way oversteps its bounds in promoting that every American (including children without parent's consent) take two jabs of an emergency-approved 'vaccine', in denial of mounting data that adverse effects from, and taking the 'jabs', could turn out to be catastrophically more dangerous than the virus.

Americans are supposed to be presented with the facts about a virus and facts about 'vaccines'. Neither of those things is happening. Instead, we get: “We want to give people the sense that they have the freedom to choose, but we hope they choose to live.” Sense of freedom? Just as the networks 'blur the signs' in protests they cover, the government has made a career out of 'blurring the signs' about economic facts, medical facts, and political facts.

Since the 'legal or illegal' (we will probably never know) occupation of the White House last election, the means by which we 'strong-arm' the world into going along with our 'rules-based order' rather than international law, is now the choice for American citizens, domestically. Obey the rules or the wrath of the demigods will descend upon you.

Anthony Fauci is at least a liar (to Congress), and possibly, with his agenda to push mRNA (while suppressing the use and acceptance of 'curatives' such as Ivermectin), is the killer of how many? Millions? Fauci, the highest-paid US government employee, sees it as his role to muddy the 'waters of fact'. In August of 2020, Fauci came out strongly against 'mandated' 'vaccines', as un-American. But now, with the 'vaccine' program failing and possibly portending a nightmare scenario (see my next article), he is sounding off that he has always been supportive of mandates, at least on the local level.

Does Fauci need to be weighed in terms of the constitutional definition of a traitor? Our investigative reporters (other than Tucker do we have those?) clamoring to get at Fauci's misrepresentations and lies? No, like James Clapper who lied to Congress about millions of Americans being eavesdropped and spied on, these cats, existing in a tyranny of traitors, get a pass on the horror they bring, while kept safe and promoted. I look out over our landscape and see little difference compared to the mid-'30s, with the 'brownshirts', in Germany.

Or when we were fed lies that bombing Laos and Cambodia would hasten an end to the conflict in Vietnam. Most terrifying is the speed with which the left has implemented dictatorial rule without the usual period of attempting to mollify and pacify the opposition before taking steps to 'choke them out. We have no 1st Amendment. And, with administration approval to censure MSM and text messages, we have no 4th Amendment. What does that leave us?

The following is a passage from 'This Way To Heaven'—a story of a defenseless Bosnian people, unable to protect themselves. "I am sorry to bring this weapon into your presence. I use it only in defense—I don't mean to worry you. I'll keep it safely away". A woman seated on the floor next to the staircase stood and touched the rifle gently. "If only we had more like this," the woman said dreamily. "We could fight the invaders and keep our homes and families safe. I would give my life for ten like this to give to my people." For those of you who have neither the time nor the tolerance for boredom to closely follow what's going on with the virus and the treasonous superimposition of elite-dictate implantation, I will continue on tomorrow with the motif of treason as it pertains to the handling of the virus and see what I can sort out and make clear over two pages. We have entered another 'fire in the hole' period of American history, about which, hopefully, I will get to write.

Possibly this all plays out in the battle over 'vaccinations'. Please get concerned friends to my email list: [email protected]

Dr. Andrew Kaufman: Why the Virus Has Never Been Proven To Exist, Why the “Pandemic” Is a Psychological Operation and More

Has the virus ever been proven to exist or was it a man-made creation in a lab in China (or Fort Detrick)? Many curious people who have fervently researched this topic still aren’t sure. Dr. Andrew Kaufman, a forensic psychiatrist with a background in molecular biology, was one of the first experts in 2020 to contend SARS-CoV-2, the virus the world has been told causes the disease Covid-19, has never been purified or isolated. Kaufman is also a natural healing consultant, inventor, public speaker, and expert witness. In an excellent interview, Kaufman discusses the virus, why the “pandemic” is a psychological operation, how humanity is on the precipice of a paradigm shift to transhumanism, and ways to escape this unfolding planned tyranny.

A summary of the interview:

1. Since March 2020 the government has engaged at an end-run around the legislative process that has taken away many of our freedoms and now the pressure is being put on us to take experimental shots.
2. Experimental criteria were put forth that supposedly prove the virus. The experiment itself gives them the proof they need even if they don’t have a virus. Dr. Stefan Lanka showed he had proof of a virus without any source of a virus. They never have taken a sick person, pulled the virus out, and purified or isolated it to study it. They used a computer to generate an in silico or computer-generated genome. Instead of starting with an organism with one piece of genetic material in these experiments, they started with a mixture and they don’t know what’s in it. The alleged PCR test is based on a genome sequence that was used before they had in any way shown the presence of the new virus. It was made on a published genome sequence from the SARS virus published in 2003, which was also a computerized genome.
3. Widely distributed pictures that supposedly prove evidence of the virus are artistic renderings. Black and white pictures from an electron microscope that show round particles with spiked dots on the outside have been shown in kidney biopsies from 1999 when the involved parties had nothing to do with SARS-CoV-2 or any virus. The kidney doctors who wrote the scientific paper about this said these particles are indistinguishable from viruses, and that this would be a point of confusion. The scientific community is aware of this confusion but pretends the virus is real. If the actual virus has not been discovered to be real, you can’t have a genome and it can’t cause disease. This evidence is published and widely available. They don’t want the voices of doctors who realize the scam heard, so they are censored. Fauci is in on it and is getting paid and getting notoriety.
4. Delta and other variants – They sequenced the entire genome and had fragments of genetic material from what would be in the lung of a sick person. There are 56 million fragments of RNA, and they sequenced those. We don’t know where they came from because we didn’t get the fragments from a virus. They were put into a computer that combined into 3 million possible genomes. They picked one to make it look like a bat coronavirus, which was probably a predetermined outcome, and then they said this is the indexed genome. They put out instructions of how anyone can do this experiment, except in the end they compare it to the indexed genome which is contrived by a computer. They won’t get an exact match because they are not testing the real thing, just combining random sequences. Every time they repeat the experiment by this recipe around the world – and there have been 40,000 of these – not one exactly matches. They are all a little bit off. This is what happens when you try to repeat an invalid experiment. You don’t get the same results. They call the results variants. This is an important scheme to ramp up fear. They haven’t isolated and characterized any one variant. They haven’t done studies where they look at the actual clinical outcomes. They do a computer simulation that says this may be more transmissible and dangerous. It is probably people sitting around and plotting, “How can we make this scarier and fudge science to back this up?” From the scientific establishment perspective, very few report how to do this because they make it difficult to understand. You have three different disciplines involved – computer scientists, geneticists, and virologists. No one understands the whole thing is a sham because it is compartmentalized.
5. We are on the precipice of a paradigm shift to transhumanism. The World Economic Forum’s vision for our future is they want us to have our social interaction online, and this puts humans in a lower state of being. If you look through the literature at the technologies they plan to use for various evil purposes you find 1,000s of articles on gene therapy, nanotechnology including magnetic nanoparticles, hydrogels, machine-brain interfaces. This technology is not in its infancy. Many have been used in experiments and have been shown to work. They have nanotechnology, originally optogenetics changed to magneto genetics, which they have injected into animals and it can control their behavior.
6. The “pandemic” is a psychological operation. Referencing back to the many planning documents like the Rockefeller Foundation’s Lockstep in 2010, the SPARS simulation, and Event 201, there are indications in the timeline that they accelerated this psych op because people have been waking up to the truth. The globalists started to worry they might miss their opportunity if they waited for everything to line up according to their plans, so they’ve been making mistakes. Fear is a major manipulative force and many now suffer from Stockholm syndrome. Many techniques used in this campaign to market the virus and shots come from Edward Bernays and people who develop propaganda as a discipline. A whistleblower revealed psychologists were hired in the UK by the health service to devise strategies to maximize fear in the population. This is a major effort to control people’s thinking and make sure they don’t question what is going on, which can be compared to a cult-like situation. The #1 way to get people out of this state is to stop watching TV. TV patents use a rhythm to refresh images that put you in an alpha wave state which is effective for hypnosis and programming.
7. Many are realizing the allopathic health care system is turning into a bio-surveillance and transhumanist establishment that is no longer available to people. They have been afraid to go to hospitals that have canceled services and there have been layoffs of medical personnel. People are looking for alternatives and this is an amazing opportunity to move to a future of healing to address health in a realistic way where people can completely recover from disease and not just be dependent on pharmaceuticals to manage their symptoms.
8. Contact tracers – Don’t be violent with them, talk to them in your front yard, give them information about science, print out the consent form for Moderna which says in bold letters the shots are an experimental treatment. Kaufman completed human subjects research training that covered the Nuremberg code which states you must inform people about the risks of medical experiments and they have to voluntarily participate. This has been completely ignored by governments, universities, and private companies that are dictating we must take experimental medical treatments if we want to participate with their goods and services.
9. The separation of our society into two factions is ahead – those who see the truth and who are not going to participate and are going to do things their own way. Each individual needs to make a decision for themselves that they won’t participate in any aspect of what is going on and the more people do that the less likely there will be any progression of tyranny. If you decide not to comply, you will have to make sacrifices, like forgoing flying and traveling overseas, which are not short-term options. Over 100 years ago you didn’t have to get a passport from the government, and this was an incremental attack on our freedoms.
10. Take responsibility for your health, grow food, form communities, study law to inform, protect and legally stand up for yourself. In decentralized ways at the grassroots level, people are teaching each other. For example, there are free energy alternative devices, tractors that run on water, spinning magnet type disks that can generate electricity for a decade. It is possible to be off the grid and have an amazing quality of life and get back to nature. From the time we have been brought into the world, we have been indoctrinated to specific cultural phenomenon such as compulsory school systems, and we don’t think for ourselves. You can separate that influence, realize the fallacy of it and get in touch with nature and the universe. We have to get back to our true nature as women and men and interact with the land, forest, ecology, and with each other in communities. We need not be slaves by having a job that is a paycheck and every moment we have free time we want to escape – drink beer, watch sports, play video games, and watch TV. This is an opportunity to regain having a real meaningful purpose in life.

Biden Decrees That Trespassing Plus Thought Crimes Equals Terrorism

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A very troubling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warning that the West is working to “create a belt of instability” around Russia by “turning brother against brother”, with his stating: “Our Western colleagues are trying to expand their presence, including military, along the perimeter of our borders, including Central Asia and the Transcaucasus”, says in response to this blatant aggression Minister Lavrov declared: “I am confident, and nothing but confident, given the experience we already have from the 1980s and the early 1990s, that any unilateral concessions made by us will only be regarded as weakness…Our partners know how to do that…Afterwards, they put forward more and more unacceptable demands...That is why we will pursue an independent, nationally-oriented foreign policy, that is, a pragmatic foreign policy…We will not take into consideration any threats and ultimatums, except that we will stand firm against them”.

This report notes that this blatant aggression against the Russian Federation and its allies is being fomented by Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden, who this week insanely declared: “China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin are banking on a future not of democracy but autocracy”—a declaration Biden made while speaking to a half-empty room at a CNN town hall, that was quickly branded a “dumpster fire town hall” because barely anyone watched it—after which CNN itself fact checked Biden calling many of his claims false—the following day saw Biden dementedly claiming during a White House speech that he was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee 150-years-ago—yesterday saw Biden attending a political rally in Virginia that only attracted a paltry crowd, and of those few attending saw many of them booing and heckling him—all of which makes it more than understandable why Dr. Ronnie Jackson, the former White House physician for Presidents Obama and Trump, is now warning: “Something's SERIOUSLY wrong with Biden – and it's only going to get WORSE!...It's past the point of embarrassment…He's lost…He's confused…He can barely put a coherent sentence together…He MUST have a cognitive exam and release the results!...I think that he’s either gonna, he’s either gonna resign, they’re going to convince him to resign from office at some point in the near future for medical issues, or they’re going to have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of this man right now…There’s some serious stuff going on right now...This is a national security issue at this point”.

Most seriously and dangerously wrong with socialist leader Biden, this report explains, is his not even knowing the definition of “democracy” or “autocracy”—which if he did would see him knowing that the United States was officially declared an “oligarchy” in 2014 ruled over by an elite class of leaders at the expense of its under socialist siege citizens—and as for Russia, it’s a democratic nation having a strong presidential system, has partners that are democratic and partners that are not—has shown no inclination to bank on one or the other, as all it cares about is that foreign states are friendly, and their political systems are irrelevant—and whose main philosophy comes from 19th Century Slavophile thinker Konstantin Aksakov, which is: “The people do not interfere in government … the state does not interfere in the life and being of the people. … Thus, the relationship between the government and the people is a relationship of mutual non-interference”.

Unlike in Russia, however, this report notes, a “relationship of mutual non-interference” between the American peopleand their government isn’t possible because its “We the people” citizens are the government—a system of government that sees American lawmakers being nothing more than the representatives of their citizens’ will—but today sees the American people being locked out of their own government by Biden and his godless socialist forces.

The evidence proving this is true, this report details, can be seen in Princeton University researchers having just declared that the past year “could end up as the most violent year of this century”—a year that began with socialist Antifa and BLM terrorist forces loyal to Biden rampaging across America killing dozens and causing up to $2-billion in damage—saw socialist Democrats releasing millions of criminals from prisons using Covid as the excuse—then saw socialist Democrat Party leaders defunding police departments while they spend millions on their own private security forces—all of which explains why it’s now being reported: “A supermajority of likely voters (66%) want the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests investigated, while a majority do not support Pelosi’s inquiry into the January 6 storming of the Capitol”.

In a functioning democracy like the United States laughably claims it is, where its citizens are the government, this report continues, the demand by this “supermajority” of Americans to investigate the socialist terrorist forces loyal to Biden for the crimes they’ve committed against humanity would be immediately heeded—but, in fact, the exact opposite is happening as Biden’s government has quietly dropped criminal charges against these socialist terrorists—and during the past 24-hours, it has seen Biden’s government dropping all charges against captured Chinese spies—that was quickly followed by Biden’s government suddenly dropping its criminal investigation into the governors of Michigan, Pennsylvanian and New York mass killing of elderly citizens by deliberately placing them in nursing homes infected with Covid.

As to why socialist leader Biden has stopped prosecuting Antifa-BLM terrorists, Chinese spies and mass murdering Blue State governors, this report notes, is because his Department of Justice is overwhelmed by what they call “the largest criminal prosecution in United States history”—an unprecedented and historic criminal investigation involving the mass protest that occurred at the US Capitol on 6 January, the shamefulness of which is palpable because this building is known as “The Peoples House”, and the American people have long known it belonged to them, not the lawmakers they allowed to temporally represent their interests—sees these criminal cases against these 6 January protestors being built on what one savvy electronic evidence consultant called a “Tower of Babel nightmare”—is a “nightmare” because what is happening to these protesters is beyond abhorrent—specifically due to Biden’s socialist prosecutors identifying anyone who stepped on a single blade of grass as the US Capitol, let alone entering the building itself, after which they scour this person’s entire past, and if finding them saying in any post, email, text, or uttering anything critical of Biden and/or the US government, they use these thoughts to charge them as terrorists.

Yesterday while socialist leader Biden continued to put his demented insanity on full display to the world, this report notes, yet another of these “domestic terrorist” 6 January protesters, named Andrew Taake was captured by FBI thugs after he was snitched out by a potential match on the dating app Bumble—after which it caused articles to appear around the world like “Protesters Worldwide Waving US Flags As ‘Symbol Of Freedom,’ I Have Bad News For You – It Now Stands For Snitch Nation”, wherein it states: “Our Democracy is such a paragon of freedom that the same people who howled about walls and fences being immoral and evil quickly put up a barrier around the Capitol after the January 6 riot – and kept it there for six months...The same people who denounced the calls for the National Guard to quell the deadly 2020 riots brought 25,000 troops to secure Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration...The last of them didn’t leave until late May...All of these are tactics the US has itself denounced, as emblematic of systems that Washington had spent the better part of the 20th century actively fighting around the world – including in Cuba...A special kind of irony, indeed”.

With “irony” being an event that is deliberately contrary to what one expects, this report points out, it bears noticing that the FBI thugs rounding up these thought crime “domestic terrorist” protesters were revealed to have been involved in at least five cases where they incited the crimes they charged innocent people with—saw the Justice Department Inspector General documenting abuses of power and deceit by FBI officials in the Hillary Clinton or Trump investigations, but not a single FBI official has spent a day behind bars—and after FBI Assistant General Counsel Kevin Clinesmith admitted falsifying key evidence to get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump presidential campaign, Federal Fudge James Boasberg gushed with sympathy at the sentencing hearing stating: “Mr. Clinesmith has lost his job in government service—what has given his life much of its meaning”, then he gave Clinesmith a wrist slap of 400-hours of community service and 12-months of probation.

In stark contrast to FBI Assistant General Counsel Clinesmith being gushed over by a Federal judge and given a wrist slap for committing this gravest of crimes, this report notes, this week it saw US Army reservist Colonel Patrick Leduc (who next week will be deployed to the Middle East for his third tour) fighting back tears as he declared: “Paul Hodgkins is not my enemy”—a declaration Colonel Leduc made as he left the courthouse where he defended Paul Hodgkins, who committed the crime of spending roughly 22-minutes in the US Capitol on 6 January, where he entered the Senate chamber, hoisted a “Trump 2020” flag, took some selfies, and left—a so-called crime rendered into insignificance when compared against a high-level FBI official fabricating evidence and presenting it to a federal court—though when Obama appointed Federal Judge Randoph Moss accepted this young man’s guilty plea, he screamed at him for daring to hold a “Trump 2020” saying: “The symbolism of that act is unmistakable…He was staking a claim on the Senate floor, declaring his loyalty to a single individual over a nation”—after which this maniacal Obama judge threw this young man, who never committed a single crime in his life, into prison for 8-months—and in words reminiscent of the sort of Soviet-style confessions beaten out of political dissidents the world over, then saw this Obama judge ordering this young man to declare: “Joseph R. Biden is rightfully and respectfully the president of the United States”.

As to why this young man pled guilty to these made up charges, this report details, is because of what faced him if he didn’t—which is a cruel and barbaric fate facing those 6 January protesters jailed in hell-hole dungeons still refusing to submit—best described by Attorney Joseph McBride, who’s documented how these protesters are brutally beaten daily, starved, stripped and humiliated by guards, with one of them already having lost an eye—the shocking horror of which has now caused famed Super Lawyer Sidney Powell to announce that she will join a major movement to assist the 6 January political prisoners and their families.

This report concludes by noting that socialist leader Biden’s loyal forces at the leftist Washington Post are daily declaring such vile things like: “The only effective way for the government to respond to an act of war by domestic terrorists is to be prepared to meet them with machine guns and flamethrowers and mow them down…Not one of those terrorists who broke through police lines on January 6 should have escaped alive”—and in his Gulag Archipelago masterpiece for the ages, it saw world renowned Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, likewise, describing the vast public outrage that went along with a prominent Soviet show trial of accused protesters: “There were universal meetings and demonstrations, including even school-children…It was the newspaper march of millions, and the roar that rose outside the windows of the courtroom was: ‘Death! Death! Death!’”. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

One of the worst policies a developing country’s government can make is to deprive its citizens of earning a living. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we witnessed in response to the Coronavirus pandemic that began to truly take shape in March 2020.

Many people have already highlighted the enormous costs of lockdowns on individuals and businesses, but there has been scant discussion on how these policies impacted developing countries relative to their wealthier counterparts.

In developing countries, small and midsize enterprises—as well as informal enterprises—make up roughly 70% of total employment. In addition, these small and informal businesses account for more than 30% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product). For most developed countries, on the other hand, informal markets account for less than 20% of total employment and only about 9-15% of GDP. What this means is that lockdown orders affect countries differently based on the economic composition of each nation.

For developed countries, lockdowns undoubtedly imposed significant economic and health costs. Many workers in the service sector, like the food industry, for example, were left unemployed and had to rely on government stimulus checks to get them through the bumpiest stages of the pandemic. Some businesses had to shutter their doors entirely, leaving many employers without jobs as well. This is to say nothing of the severe mental health consequences of government lockdown orders.

However, richer countries are better able to flexibly adapt to such changing circumstances, even in the case of unprecedented, and some would argue draconian lockdowns. That’s because many businesses were able to transition to remote work, a luxury many developing countries can’t afford. In a working paper for the World Bank, it was estimated that approximately 1 in 5 jobs can be performed remotely in the developed world. In developing countries, this figure stands at only 1 in 26.

As Karsten Noko writes, “[i]f the choice before you is often to stay home and fail to provide the evening meal for your family or to brave it out into the city and try and fend for your family… I know what choice I would make.” There are numerous cases of citizens in low-income countries defying lockdown or strict stay-at-home orders just so they can earn enough to feed themselves and their families.

In some instances, these defiant stances have led to angry protests in many parts of the world. In response to these protests, many governments have issued repressive orders, such as Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declaring that violators will be shot if seen disobeying lockdown orders. In Colombia, recent protests against a tax plan and overbearing lockdowns have resulted in dozens of casualties as police and protestors violently clash with one another.

Because governments in developing countries are more prone to corruption and are in constant fear of political unrest, they have a greater capacity to abuse their authority under the guise of public health safety. For example, in Argentina, many citizens have been harassed and attacked by police.

Another reason lockdown orders have disproportionately hurt developing economies is due to their low savings rates. In general, high domestic savings rates tend to lead to higher economic growth rates. Unfortunately, since developing countries typically have lower domestic savings, it’s much harder for those countries to weather lockdowns because individuals are unable to draw upon savings to compensate for lost income. For many developed nations, domestic savings are higher, which means that these countries will fare relatively better when income is severely reduced or altogether nonexistent.

Some forecasts attribute major increases in global poverty to Covid-19, without specifying how much of the increase can be attributed to specific policy actions issued in the wake of the virus. These estimates are not themselves inaccurate, but they fail to distinguish between economic costs associated with voluntary social responses and government-imposed mandates.

Dozens of studies have shown that government lockdown policies wouldn’t even pass a cursory cost/benefit analysis, a requirement to which many U.S. government agencies must submit. It also appeared that developing countries reflexively instituted lockdown measures by merely imitating the early responses taken in more developed nations. Thus, very little calculated deliberation was conducted in countries that had more to lose through unilateral and blanket policies than better situated richer nations, like the United States, England, and Australia.

Contrary to popular opinion, there were real alternatives available other than government lockdowns. These alternatives should have been especially reviewed in developing countries, where a one-size-fits-all policy is least effective and most likely to do more harm than good. For example, it would have been wise for governments to invest early in testing and contract tracing—or at the very least, allow private actors to provide these services without onerous restrictions.

In his new book Economics in One Virus (2021), Ryan Bourne asserts that “fast and reliable tests… would have helped to overcome… the informational problem of determining who is infected or likely to be contagious” (p. 191).

Similarly, in one paper, coauthors Chowdhury and Jomo state that “If contact tracing and other early containment measures had been adequately done in a timely manner to stem viral transmission, nationwide lockdowns would not have been necessary.”

In addition, some economists have proposed more autonomy be given to local and state governments, which are more likely to implement policies that better suit the needs of people within each jurisdiction. If more resources were devoted to some of these strategies, major government lockdowns could have been avoided.

Additionally, we should embrace the prospect of rich countries selling vaccines to poor countries, which would in fact make both nations better off. Finally, vaccines should be the biggest investment governments make during a pandemic to ensure the virus halts its spread as soon as possible.

Real alternatives were available if only governments were willing to see them. These irresponsible government actions are especially acute and more harmful in developing countries and among the poor because most workers can’t afford to sacrifice weeks or perhaps months of income, only to be confined to what is effectively house arrest. If we sincerely care about the poor, we must rethink lockdown policies and vow to do better next time.

America Has Lost the Trade War with China, and the Real Pain Has Yet to Begin

July 23, 2021

Corporate America sacrificed national interests in service of greed, and so did the U.S. government.


As we all know, the source of Corporate America's unprecedented explosion in profits in the 21st century is the offshoring of manufacturing to China. If you doubt this, please study the chart below of corporate profits. Apologists claim many excuses in an attempt to evade the central role of offshoring production to China, but they all ring hollow: no, it wasn't increasing productivity or automation or Federal Reserve magic, it was shipping production to China and other low-labor-cost nations.

Whether we like to admit it or not--mostly not--the American economy is entirely dependent on manufacturing in China. America's short-sighted obsession with increasing profits to fund buybacks and golden parachutes for corporate insiders and vast fortunes for financiers has led to a dangerous dependency that has handed China tremendous leverage, which China is now starting to make use of. (And why not? Wouldn't the U.S. start using the same leverage if it could?)

A long-time U.S. correspondent who prefers to remain anonymous for obvious reasons recently shared his experiences with parts shortages and price increases from previously reliable suppliers in China. Here is his account of the disruptive shift in the supply chain of essential parts from China to the U.S.

China is laying siege to the USA by slowing down production and delivery of goods. It doesn't take much to hang up US production, just one missing item can do it. So much stuff is sourced through China they can affect all supply chains. Semiconductors are just the canary--because the chains are so long and complex, and specialized materials are required, etc. But it is happening everywhere.

I have a little manufacturing company and I am seeing this in supply lines. I sent an order to China for printed circuit boards (US prices are astronomical because of various factors). They don't get back for a week, then they quote, then I send money, then they sit on it, then I call and they say they are having problems with some process... etc. But all the suppliers are like this, it is not an isolated incident. They are sandbagging.

So just as in laying siege, the attackers have the food outside the castle and wait for the people inside to starve.

As prices rise the Chinese manufacturers take bigger profits so the slowdown effects on that end are mitigated. For products they do not have a monopoly on, like PC boards, they slow down. for things like LCD displays and NFeB magnets, the items become unavailable (try buying magnets on Amazon).

I have to say this is a brilliant idea on China's part, and no one on this side has realized the situation yet. This plan is straight out of Sun-Tzu. implications? inflation and shortages will continue for a long time... maybe forever. The only long-term solution is repatriation of manufacturing to the US. But it is going to cause some serious hurt, vastly more than the sanctioning of Chinese tech companies.

i just sent a request for quote for some radio chips I use to Alibaba. they are $1 each and there are many vendors. I sent notes to 2 vendors i used before and after 4 or 5 days got a ping back that my requests were cancelled. i wound up getting the parts--for 2x the price-- from Hong Kong, which at the moment seems to be something of a channel to the mainland. But I expect they will close that leak pretty soon.

I have long made the case that manufacturing, energy and food are all fundamentally national security issues. Those benefiting from "free trade" (there is no such thing, that's just a handy PR cover) have sold the unwary the fraudulent notion that "everyone benefits" from globalization. Nothing could be further from reality. A handful of corporate insiders and financiers have benefited at the expense of everyone else.

And now the chickens are coming home to roost. Essential parts and feedstocks become unavailable for all sorts of flimsy excuses, prices double, triple, then double again, and since we've allowed our entire economy to become dependent on a handful of sources for these essentials because that dependency maximized profits, then there are no alternatives.

America has already lost the trade war, but the pain has yet to begin. Corporate America sacrificed national interests in service of greed, and so did the U.S. government. Now it's too late, and all the good seats at the banquet of consequences have already been taken.

Thousands apply for grueling jobs in Amazon warehouses, low-paid serfdom with only one purpose: increasing the profits of billionaires. Wouldn't it be beneficial if those people had an alternative source of paid work that served the interests of their family and community?

Many people dismiss my proposed alternative (CLIME) as too idealistic to work in the real world. Nobody says corporations are too idealistic to work in the real world, yet CLIME is a system of community-owned and run corporations. The only difference between the two is the purpose and ownership.

CLIME: Community-Owned Corporations
The world has entered an era of profound uncertainty. The Old Normal is gone for good, and the deck is shifting ominously beneath our feet. Now is the moment to ask: what would a fairer, more sustainable system look like? How would it be better for me, humanity and the planet?

Even before the global upheavals, our system was failing. Now that it's unraveling, it's time for a new arrangement that's actually sustainable on our resource-depleted planet that doesn't favor wealthy insiders. But those gorging on inequality will never accept reforms that strip away their unearned privileges, and so the only practical way forward is a Hacker's Teleology.

What's a Hacker's Teleology? A hack is a workaround in a kludgy, broken system-- a new way of connecting the dots. Teleology means the destination we end up reaching because that's where the dots lead.

In this book I connect the dots of my own life experiences to show how a sustainably fair way of organizing human activity would work. In telling my story, I'm also telling our story, because we all share our limited-resources world and the same aspirations for fairness, belonging, getting ahead and a say in our future.
So let's get started on an arrangement that actually works for all of us--and our world. Read excerpts of the book for free (PDF).

On the global news front, I have been watching one event with special attention, mainly because it seems like almost no one else is – I am speaking of course about the social and economic collapse in South Africa that has been escalating over the past couple of weeks. What is strange to me is that certain parallels between South Africa and the US are being summarily ignored.

Basically, the South African situation is a more exaggerated version of what is happening in America, and we need to consider if it is merely a preview of future events as the extra financial protection in the US begin to fall away.

Cultural Marxism And Social Unrest (The Reparations Con)
South Africa’s government under the ANC (African National Congress) was already going full communist in 2018-2019 before the covid pandemic. Under proposed amendments to the constitution, they demanded that “reparations” be taken from white farmers in the form of land grabs, which would then be redistributed to black citizens.

This is the classic critical race theory argument – That because colonialism once existed, all beneficiaries and their supposed descendants owe dues to the descendants of indigenous people who lost their lands. The problem is, only the descendants of WHITE colonists are required to pay dues.

This is exactly the same path that socialists/Marxists in the Democratic Party are pursuing in the US, with some states and cities demanding reparations for blacks be written into law because of slavery nearly 200 years ago. The reparations movement is tiny, but like all other social justice initiatives, it is gaining power because politicians and corporations are supporting it artificially. Why? That’s easy: It’s all about divide and conquer.

I think my take on it is simplified, but I feel this needs to be said because CRT and social justice lunatics tend to over-complicate issues in order to distract from certain fundamental realities. Black and brown people invaded each other’s lands and enslaved their neighbors for thousands of years before white people ever showed up on the scene.

White people were made slaved within certain civilizations for many centuries as well, and yes, it was just as bad for them as it was for black slaves in America.

Slavery and colonialism have NEVER been relegated to only one race or ethnicity. This is a historic fact.

But, that’s all forgotten in the bizarre justifications of critical race theorists. Why are white people the only people that are supposed to pay reparations when the whole world has been killing each other for land and resources since the beginning of recorded history?

Frankly, if your ancestors lost a bunch of land centuries ago to colonists, then perhaps they should have fought harder for it. You don’t get to suddenly wave your hand and magically claim it back centuries later by default through government-enforced eminent domain just because your ancestors sucked at self-defense. Go back in time and tell your great-great-great-grandparents to “Get Good.”

Of course, today’s communists don’t really fight for anything, at least not directly. I might respect them a little if they did. Rather, they loudly whine that they are “victims” even though they are not, and then demand they be given free stuff for life even though they never earned it. And, since free stuff has to be taken from somewhere, the people that have things are attacked through the color of law even when they did nothing wrong and earned every cent they own.

Communists steal from others through government proxy and by claiming victim group status. They work hand-in-hand with the very politicians and corporate oligarchs they say they despise. The governments and corporations do it because they can use the Marxist mob as a social weapon to strike fear in their ideological adversaries (conservatives), and the SJWs do it because they can feed on the scraps from the big boy’s table and use government to forcefully redistribute wealth into their own pockets.

It’s kind of a win-win, at least for a while. Eventually, the low-level commies get nailed to a wall or sent to a gulag when they are no longer useful, but that’s a tale for another time…

As international outrage developed over the proposed land confiscation mandates and accusations of reverse racism started to spread, the ANC dialed back their rhetoric and adjusted legislation to confiscate land that was “abandoned, unused or posed safety risks”. Let’s set aside the fact that these requirements are arbitrary and could still be abused by the government to take away land from white owners; for now, we just need to acknowledge that racial tensions were high in a country that has been working hard to deal with its recent segregationist history.

The social justice communists made things much worse, not better, as is always the case.

As we saw last summer with the $1 Billion in damages caused by the “mostly peaceful” BLM riots, racial conflict is an effective weapon for the elites to create chaos.

After all, BLM received most of its initial funding through the Ford Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. They are a fabricated movement built around false critical race theory claims, but they are enough of a movement to enact violence on a nationwide scale.

Covid Lockdowns And Vaccine Totalitarianism
The South African government’s response to covid is brutal and ongoing. The lockdowns are some of the most strict in the world with curfews, zero gatherings indoors or outdoors, alcohol bans, and restrictions on travel through certain areas. A large majority of the population has been blocked from participation in the normal economy. The public has been awaiting economic relief for over a year, but the hype and fear-mongering around the “Delta variant” have dashed all hope.

Lockdowns returned in full force in June.

There is NO EVIDENCE that the Delta Variant is as deadly or more deadly than the original iteration of covid, and covid’s overall IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) is a paltry 0.26% according to the CDC and other independent studies. Meaning, draconian lockdowns are still being implemented over a virus that 99.74% of people will easily survive.

Riots in Johannesburg and elsewhere erupted, with over 200 dead and billions in property damage and theft. In this case, it is hard to outright condemn the looting because the government continues to block citizens from earning a living in the name of stopping covid.

This is on top of South Africa’s already high poverty level and the fact that, unlike the US with its world reserve currency, South Africa does not have the same ability to print stimulus checks from thin air to placate the masses and hide the damage.

Not surprisingly the ANC refuses to acknowledge that the primary cause of the riots has been their own lockdown policies. Instead, they have blamed the crisis on the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma for contempt of court charges as the trigger. This may have added gasoline to the fire, but it was not the cause. When the government is actively sabotaging the ability of millions of people to work and feed their families the only other option left for most is theft or revolution.

Supply chains in the country have been completely disrupted and the only retail outlets with stock are those protected by the military or those protected by business owners armed with guns and baseball bats. Only 6% of the population is allowed to own firearms under South Africa’s gun control bureaucracy and red tape. The government has a near-monopoly on force and it is unlikely that the mobs will change much in terms of policy, but they do make life hell for the rest of the population.

The civil unrest in this region is, in my opinion, a preview of what is to come in the US and other western nations. We have already seen riots in France, Italy, and other parts of the western world over legislation that would make the experimental mRNA vaccines mandatory through vaccine passports. I would point out that the liberal media has warned OVER AND OVER that governments would try to enforce vaccine passports and make vaccines mandatory. We were called “conspiracy theorists” for this; now we are proven right once again.

Covid laws will lead to unrest in the US, just as they have led to unrest in South Africa. The Biden Administration continues to push for total vaccination of Americans despite all science running contrary to his initiatives and claims. As I outlined in my article ‘Biden’s Vaccine Strike Force Plan Stinks Of Desperation’, the facts on covid do not support vaccine mandates or passports, and this is why around half the US population continues to defy the restrictions and refuses to take the jab. The only reason why medical tyranny has been beaten back in the US is that around 50% of US households are armed. We are not yet South Africa because of our gun rights, so be thankful for the millions of gun owners out there creating a deterrent to tyranny.

The goals of the establishment will remain, however. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that Covid’s death rate is a mere 0.26% of those with confirmed infections. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that natural immunity is a part of herd immunity. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that covid infections and deaths dropped off a cliff in January of 2021 well before the vaccines were rolled out in the US. And, they are going to continue to ignore the fact that the experimental mRNA vaccines have no long-term testing to prove they are safe for humans.

Science is unimportant to them. Covid is only a tool for gaining control. They do not care about public safety in the slightest.

Economic Decline And The Dark Cloud Of Inflation
There are some differences between the US and South Africa in terms of motivations and economy, but the gap is not as wide and some might think. The US is exhibiting similar signs of decline in terms of poverty, small business closures, and inflation.

South Africa’s unemployment rate and poverty rate appear much higher, but the US has the ability to hide real poverty through temporary stimulus measures, welfare programs, and eviction moratoriums. When the covid checks run out and evictions return, we are going to see a massive spike in poverty levels in the US once again. Furthermore, core price inflation has hit 30-year highs due to trillions in money printing and dollar devaluation, along with struggling supply chains. For now, increased demand created by covid checks is giving the illusion that the economy is in recovery, but just as home sales are now plunging after a short-term spike, so too will demand in most sectors of the economy.

This does not mean that prices will fall with demand, however. For example, lumber prices are in decline as demand lessens, but after rising by 300% in some areas they have a long way to go and will probably never go back to their pre-pandemic levels. We are now seeing the same dynamic happening in housing sales vs. house prices. When demand is falling but price inflation continues to rise or remains high, this is a sign of a stagflationary crisis. And if this is the case, then the US economy will falter dramatically in the coming months, leading to poverty levels similar to South Africa. Money printing is a temporary fix that leads to longer-term disasters.

It is also only a matter of time before a covid variant (like the Delta variant) is used as an excuse to bring back lockdowns across the country. And make no mistake, they will attempt harsher and harsher mandates similar to those in South Africa in order to intimidate people into submitting to the jab and the passports. At this stage, the US government will have not only mass riots on its hands but also an armed rebellion. Undoubtedly, supply chains will crash if they have not already been disrupted by lockdowns or a related financial crisis.

The question at that point will be this: Who will rebuild? If it’s the elites and the covid cult, then freedom will disappear forever. If it’s liberty-minded people, then there might be a chance to bring our civilization back from the brink. Everything depends on who is left standing after the chaos subsides.

South Africa is a warning to Americans: Do not get too comfortable. Do not get complacent. Be ready for the next shoe to drop. Prepare accordingly, and understand that a fight is coming.

The establishment will place its bets that the unrest and economic disaster will create manufactured consent. They believe that the public will be sufficiently desperate and will beg for totalitarianism as a solution. Do not find yourself among the desperate, and if you can, organize your community to weather the storm.

Finally, always remember who the people are that caused this mess in the first place. Rioters and looters are going to be a problem, but they are not the true enemy. The people behind the curtain need to be dealt with if we are ever going to find peace again.

The Wild Bunch Dispatch Newsletter

https://secureservercdn.net/104.238....ime=1627142207

What Is The Wild Bunch Dispatch?
The Wild Bunch Dispatch is a newsletter with exclusive content from Alt-Market.us, and to be sure, I realize there are hundreds of newsletters out there in the Liberty Movement. You would think though that with so many in circulation there would be at least one that teaches legitimate strategies for fighting against the globalist agenda, the root problem that has motivated people to participate in liberty activism for decades now. Unfortunately, there are none.

Consider this frightening prospect for a moment – Globalists control central banks and money creation, therefore they have almost infinite funding at their disposal. They have puppet politicians in every major government on the planet. They have tentacles in every facet of the mainstream media and are seeking ways to undermine the alternative media today. And, they have dozens of think tank institutions which are constantly war-gaming faster and better ways of hijacking even more power and eroding your individual rights until there is nothing left.

But that’s not the frightening part…

The thing that should worry you the most is that while establishment elites use these resources and think tanks to plot against the public everyday, we have not a single think tank of our own. We have no counter-strategy. No group of top minds developing ways to beat the globalists at their own game. It is up to us to create that “guerrilla” think tank.

There are at least a handful of liberty movement writers and thinkers that have offered potential solutions over the years. But, for each solution presented there are thousands of other people who bicker about them or criticize those trying to help while never actually planning to do anything about the problem. They muddy the waters and disrupt clarity. This newsletter is not for those people.

This is the Wild Bunch; a place for practical solutions and preparations for dealing with the globalist agenda. This newsletter is for people who are not just talkers, but doers. This newsletter is for quiet professionals, for serious and driven preppers and activists.

I have been writing for the liberty movement for over 12 years now on my website Neithercorp.us and then on to Alt-Market. And, in that time I have found it very valuable to fight the information war with as much effort as possible. Talking about the problem is always important, but solving the problem needs to be addressed eventually as well. Solving problems is not for everyone. Some people are good at contemplating, and other people are good at taking action.

The Wild Bunch Dispatch is written for the people who accept the hard fact that destructive globalism exists; people who know what is coming and do not plan to hide passively while the world burns down around them. If you are interested in discussions on concrete tactics and solutions no matter the struggle, then this newsletter is for you.

What Do You Get With The Wild Bunch?
The following is a free sample of The Wild Bunch Dispatch. I hope you find it useful…

Why We Fight
Crushing rebellions and insurgencies is a bit of an obsession for globalist think tanks. From DARPA to RAND Corporation and the Council On Foreign Relations, billions of dollars and thousands of man hours have been spent seeking out more effective ways to stop the citizenry from acting independently from government or the central bank controlled economy. The bulk of the strategies that these think tanks develop depend on the use of national emergency measures, or martial law measure in the event of a real or fabricated disaster.

Perhaps the most vital key to hindering public opposition to extreme centralization would be the shutdown of communications. Organization requires communication, sometimes over long distances, and the spread of information keeps the public informed and aware of possible threats to their freedoms and property. Without comms (or free travel), the public becomes regionally isolated and easier to dominate.

There is a false claim circulating in the mainstream that modern cell phone communications and the internet cannot be shut down by the government; that the system is too redundant or decentralized. In reality, current phone and internet communications are not only highly vulnerable to government surveillance, but also interference.

Many people are unaware of a secretive Department of Homeland Security protocol called SOP 303, which has existed since at least 2006. The US government and the President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) has consistently fought attempts through the Freedom Of Information Act to make SOP 303 information available to the public. What we do know is that it is a “national emergency” tool that has been used in the past to shut down all cell and internet communications in a particular region. In essence, it is an internet and cell phone “kill switch”.

Now, why would the government want to shut down cell service and internet? Wouldn’t this make a crisis situation even worse?

They assert that SOP 303 is meant to interfere with communications during an attack as a way to prevent coordination between terrorists. But if this is the only reason, why are they so insistent that the public not have access to SOP 303 documents? Like every other classified national emergency order, the excuse of “terrorism” is a cover for unconstitutional motives.

Imagine this future – The US faces a major economic downturn which results in growing discontent in the citizenry; so much so that national protests and even open insurgency become possible. The government declares a national emergency and immediately begins locking down communications in various “hotspot” regions where civil unrest is present. What if you happen to live in one of these regions? How will you get information on what is going on across the nation? How will you talk with friends and family? How will you organize a community of people any larger than your own neighborhood for mutual aid and security?

Best Case Scenario: Emergency Ham Radio Net
The best case scenario in the event of downed communications is that the event is temporary, meaning, a few days to a few weeks. Phone and power utilities are always prone to short term loss of service because of natural disasters. The only practical solution to loss of phone and internet is a preexisting Ham radio network.
Ham comms on a localized basis are not difficult to establish. In fact, in most places such networks of Hams already exist. These networks can be built using peer-to-peer direct radio communication if the terrain and distance allows. Many consumer base station radio models and antenna are capable of transmitting at 50 watts to 100 watts, which is more than enough power to cover a county-sized area. Other networks reach further using “repeater” stations that relay weaker signals at distances they would not normally be able to transmit.

A professional Ham radio repeater with solar power. These repeater stations relay transmissions over a wide area.

I would also warn readers that FRS or GMRS-type radios are completely insufficient for anything other than neighborhood use. Ham radios are far superior in abilities and transmitting distance. Don’t get fooled by people claiming that Midland-style radios are all you would need during a comms down scenario.
Keep in mind that in order to legally practice using Ham equipment you must have at least a Technician Class license (and yes, I do have a Ham license). Look for local Ham radio clubs to find out when and where you can take a license test. Online practice tests make getting your license much easier. Take the online test as many times as you can until you have the answers memorized.

Ham radios vary in price and capability. That said, if you are operating in an area with repeaters, any handheld model will do, and they start in price as low as $25.

There is simply no excuse not to have at least one.

This Baofeng UV-5r gives you handheld dual band capability for only $25. Check out my video on how to weatherproof cheaper Ham radios like this one.
It is not enough to have a radio and a marginal knowledge of how it functions, though. You also need to work with your friends and family to set up a “Ham net” or “Ham check-in”. This is usually a check in within a specific predetermined frequency, organized by a control operator that runs on the same day and same time every week. It is very important to start your weekly Ham net now, well before an emergency event happens.

The sooner you start, the more time you have to build up a community of Hams on your net and the more time you have to practice using it and work out any bugs. When a grid down situation does occur, people in your area will be ready to start communicating on your Ham net immediately without confusion or delay.

Worst Case Scenario: Secure Or Encrypted Ham Radio Comms
In the worst case scenario, you are not looking at a temporary grid down event, but a long term shutdown of all communications by the government itself. Under martial law measures, there would be no telling when phones and internet would be turned on again – maybe never. You would also have to face the prospect that certain agencies may be seeking to undermine Ham based networks as well. This could include surveillance of radio traffic and discussion, or, even triangulation of transmissions to find the people behind them.

The prospect of “jamming” Ham radio is a difficult one if we are talking about a large region. Jamming a specific frequency band in a small area with white noise is easier, but jamming all frequency bands over a large region is nearly impossible. A vast number of transmitters would be needed in every county or state for jamming purposes, along with considerable power. Jamming can be accomplished on multiple frequencies using “Band Hopping”, but this is more an annoyance than anything else. It does not stop all transmissions.

Keep in mind also that experienced Hams know how to triangulate transmissions. A “jammer” requires a large signal footprint and can be easily found and potentially destroyed. In other words, someone using a jammer against you might work to your advantage.

In the event that a government agency or foreign enemy is seeking to triangulate YOUR radio transmissions, there are ways to prevent this from happening.
The general rule for Ham radio is this: Use the least amount of wattage necessary to get your signal out to the people you want to get it to. Meaning, if you can talk to your contacts with 10-20 watts, then don’t use 50-100 watts.

The less power used to transmit, the less likely it is that your signal can be monitored or triangulated. For neighborhoods or small towns, 5 Watt handheld radios should be more than adequate.

When transmitting information across an entire county or several counties, more wattage is needed and this presents a risk in our worst case scenario environment. However, there are still options. Repeaters can be used to relay the information, and, some base stations can be set up for “crossband” repeating. This means that repeaters can take a signal on one frequency and then relay it on another frequency. Also, the use of multiple repeaters helps to confuse triangulation.

Another option is to set up a vehicle as a mobile repeater. The vehicle relays your group’s important transmissions at higher power and then simply moves somewhere else long before their position can be triangulated.

HF (High Frequency) radio is useful for communicating very long distances (across the country, or even to other countries). HF transmissions reflect off the ionosphere using low power, making them very difficult to triangulate. Such radio rigs are expensive, though, retailing in the $700 to $1000 price range. The problem during a government lockdown of comms is not so much getting transmissions out to people; but what about when you don’t want these agencies to know what you are saying?

Under FCC rules, encryption of Ham radio is illegal. But, in the face of a SHTF event, who cares?

The most effective way I have found to accomplish secure comms is the use of digital Ham networks. Using a Ham radio modem, a laptop and free software such as Fldigi, your radio can transmit digital text, word files and image files peer-to-peer. It is essentially Ham based email. Modems can be used on UHF/VHF/HF frequency bands.

This UV-5r radio is interfaced with a Signalink USB Modem. This package along with a laptop and the use of repeaters can allow you to send Ham email (and encrypted email) over a wide area.

Once you are sending text files over Ham, you now have the ability to encrypt. There are some open source encryption software programs available on the web for free. These usually require two people to have the same software and encryption key before they can send messages to each other. Digital encryption alone is not enough, though. I recommend using a private encryption method on top of digital encryption if you are dealing with domestic agency surveillance (like the NSA) or a foreign military. This could be something as simple as a “book cipher”. Once you are double encrypted, the chances that your message will be deciphered in time for someone to interfere with what you are doing are slim.

Another advantage to using digital Ham messages is that this prevents voice surveillance. Meaning, if you do not want a particular surveillance source to know who you are while you are communicating (through voice recognition software), then the digital text method is effective. This might sound like overkill or paranoia, but the use of voice recognition software on military drones has been ongoing in places like Afghanistan for many years.

If the enemy happens to consider you a “high value target” for whatever reason, then you should probably not use your voice on widespread communications unless you are highly mobile or you are sure you cannot be triangulated.

Beyond the anonymity, digital Ham could be useful in maintaining your own surveillance network on a local, state or national level. Security is about “circles of awareness”; the wider your circles of awareness, the more info you will have ahead of time and the safer you will be. Would you rather know about a potential threat when it is 100 miles away, or when it is almost at your doorstep? This requires community building, which becomes very difficult unless you have comms.
Enemy movements can be relayed and image files can be transmitted on digital Ham. Criminal activity, such as violent looters, can be cataloged. Images of the looters can be transmitted to nearby communities and the looters can be dealt with when they arrive. There are numerous applications for this technology. It is a must-have for any group seeking to survive a social breakdown or fight back against globalist control.

The Alternative Market Project was initially launched in 2010-2011 after I wrote for 4-5 years at Neithercorp.us. This website (Alt-Market.us), is the sister website to Alt-Market.com, which I am keeping up as an archive site for people that would like to read all of my older articles.


The goal of this site has always been to educate the public on facts, evidence and philosophies that the mainstream establishment refuses to discuss in an honest way. But beyond that, Alt-Market focuses on SOLUTIONS, not just threat analysis.


My goal is to encourage people around the world (and Americans in particular) to start decoupling from the existing system; we must become more independent and self reliant as individuals, and communities must adopt localized economic networks including barter markets in order to insulate themselves from the ongoing decline of the corrupt financial structure. In other words, if centralization is the problem, then decentralization is the answer.


Alt-Market is about freedom, in the purest sense, and we stand against those that are working relentlessly to undermine our most fundamental values.

The Death of Truth & the Rise of Centralized Government Control

July 25, 2021

By Matthew Piepenburg

As I write this from a France making ever more bold moves toward forced vaccination, one can’t help but ponder the broader issues of centralized government control, regardless of one’s take on vaccine or no vaccine.

Focusing on financial rather than viral data, the evidence of centralized state control over natural market forces in the stock and bond markets is becoming increasingly incontrovertible.

We’ve written elsewhere about the death of logic and the madness of crowds. It should therefore come as little surprise that the death of truth is yet another casualty of the increased central control we are experiencing in global markets.

Debt Crisis Disguised as a Health Black Swan
Long before COVID reared its highly controversial head (from viral source debates, baby-with-bathwater policy reactions, censored science as to vaccine efficacy and safety, distorted math on infection rates vs death rates, and centralized government control by officials acting “for your own safety” vs. Constitutional and legal issues of individual choice), the global financial system was already in an undeniable as well as an unsustainable debt crisis.

As any one who can fog a mirror and read history in the same breath also knows, whenever a debt crisis is obvious, what follows is equally obvious: an economic crisis, then a political crisis, and from there a social crisis.

In short, and from ancient Rome to 1917 Russia, or 1789 France to 1933 Germany, debt matters.

Debt is a very dangerous thing to economies and societies, and always climaxes with more centralized control in its wake.

The problem for the 21st century, however, is that almost no global policymaker (left, right or center, European, Asian or American) wanted to touch this $280T debt elephant in the room.

Instead, they buried their heads for years in the sand and sought re-election with promises paid for with, alas, more debt.

In this openly embarrassing backdrop (long before COVID), economic orthodoxy had been tossed into a corner as governments around the world took on fatal debt levels like this:
https://i0.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C457&ssl=1

…paid for (i.e., “monetized”) with mouse-click fiat money like this…

https://i0.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C327&ssl=1

But rather than face or confess the sins of a system already on its debt-broken knees, the financial and political actors responsible for the pre-COVID debt disaster had a convenient tale to tell.

A Convenient Lie
That is, and almost as if on-demand, along came the tale of all tales, the patsy of all patsies, the blame of all blames, and the excuse of all excuses: COVID.

That is, if we thought economic orthodoxy (i.e., living within one’s national means, valuing valuations or honoring free market price discovery) had been tossed into a corner pre-COVID, well, the post-COVID backdrop essentially murdered economic orthodoxy completely.

Today, we have global debt rising exponentially…
https://i1.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C386&ssl=1

…as well global central banks printing more fiat currencies parabolically:
https://i0.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C341&ssl=1

New Rules Hiding Old Failures and “Fuzzy Economics”
COVID paved a sad new road to what Antoine van Agtmael described as “fuzzy economics”—namely a financial panopticon in which governments worldwide have literally gorged themselves on ever more debt in a secular paradigm shift toward greater centralized control over our economic, personal, social, political and foreign policies.

From vaccines to banking regulations, lockdowns to melt-ups, individuals and markets are now adapting to a new set of desperate rules in the wake of the equally desperate failures of prior financial policies.

a. Governmental Guarantees of Commercial Bank Loans
To this end, I have spoken with Russell Napier at length (and written at length)on these new rules, which involve new sets of governmental/centralized control euphemistically described as “support,” including governmental (and highly inflationary) guarantees of commercial bank loans.

This massive game-changer (and open signal of increasing centralized control) effectively went unnoticed by the Main Stream Media, whatever stream that is…

b. Warnings from a Fed Governor: Governments Doubling Down
Yet even before blunt geniuses like Napier clarified this narrative, some of the less blunt and far less genius policy makers themselves could no longer hide or deny their own mistakes, all of which pointed toward new rules, “new order” and hence new mistakes to come.

In May of 2015, for example, former Fed governor Larry Lindsay was already confessing that “the financial arrangements of the state are no longer sustainable,” and that a new paradigm awaited us.

He went on to say that, “it is not a pretty change if we get there, and it is a matter of political liberty because a government will NOT voluntarily let itself go out of business…it will use all its powers available… to fund itself.”

Imagine that.
The sad fact is that just because governments have immense power, this by no means implies immense wisdom, character, accountability or even math skills.

The new rules now involve a financial system already heading toward an open confession of Wall Street socialism and a Federal Reserve which is now effectively, if not entirely, financing the U.S. government.

Centralized Government Controls = Deliberate Inflation
As Russell Napier, a one-time staunch deflationist, now argues, these new rules all point to more inflation ahead, which is the ultimate gut-punch to an already over-controlled and dying middle-class—i.e., the real world.

But for nations drowning in debt, deliberate inflation is one way to print away that burden.

Bond Markets Decoupled from Reality
Meanwhile, in this new abnormal of increased centralized control over our lives, markets and economies, the Fed can create money like this in the span of months…
https://i0.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C434&ssl=1

…in order to purchase the vast bulk of otherwise unwanted IOUs from Uncle Sam—i.e., Treasury bonds.

Such “policy,” of course, artificially suppresses Treasury yields (which go down as central bank-supported bond prices go up).

This explains why yields have sunk to levels which in no way reflect where yields would otherwise be in a free market confronting undeniable as well as rising inflation (which the Fed still refuses to acknowledge).

But as for inflation, Napier once again reminds: “Have we ever seen a country in history persistently running a broad money growth rate at 10% that didn’t have inflation at 4% or above? The answer is no.”

Of course, the U.S. is hardly alone in drinking its own debt Kool-Aide, and if you still need more evidence of who is buying the world’s major governments bonds, it’s simply their own central(ized) banks:

Truth Dies as Centralized Government Controls Rise
In short, control has not only distorted markets, it has distorted truth, and in the same breath, distorted any sense of trust in centralized “leadership” and/or credibility, which like real bond yields, grows more negative by the day.

As Napier has said elsewhere, “bond yields are decoupled from inflation,” which is a polite way of saying that bond yields in particular, like the bond market in general, is an open lie.

Stocks Decoupled from Reality
Speaking of “decoupling” from reality in the wake of the “new rules” emerging from increasing centralized controls (economic, social and political), the stock market is no less of an open lie than the overtly subsidized bond market.

After all, stocks love a generous central bank, one becoming more central to our financial lives with each passing day, mouse-click and newly “printed” dollar.
Hard to believe?

Then ask Warren Buffett’s infamous stock market valuation metric which measures total equity market cap as a percentage of GDP.

As the graph below confirms, the only thing growing under centralized control and its “new rules” is the mother of all stock bubbles.

The “centralizers” in bed with the debt-drunk politicos call this “promising market growth” resulting from “accommodation,” but anyone who tracks markets already knows that debt-driven, money-printed “growth” is not growth at all—it’s merely a centralized aberration, as well as an open insult to natural market forces.

More to the point, such top-heavy (and artificial) market predominance within U.S. GDP screams of an open charade, and graphs like the Buffett Indicator above are just one more reason to distrust a centralized system that has now fully devolved from free market to free prevarication.

Pretty Words to Hide Scary Math
Centralizers may be dishonest and openly distortive, but like all politically self-interested profiles, they are masters at putting lipstick on a pig through euphemistic word choice, of which “quantitative easing,” “stimulus,” “accommodation,” “MMT,” and “recovery’ are all classic examples.

But there’s more…
“Climate Change” Policies—Wise Altruism or Just More Centralized Control?

As for further examples of the creative use of language to hide the truth, it may come as a surprise to any of us who care about the planet that the sudden politicized interest in “climate change” may not be as altruistic or progressive as the politico’s would like you to believe.

In a global backdrop of debt-driven desperation and increased centralization, leaders thirsty for any way to build credibility would have us admire their green initiative; but the real driver behind their plans may be less green than oil-colored.

With all the inflationary forces colliding (extreme money supply expansion, fiscal deficits, governmental guarantees etc.), the last thing our not-so-trusted leaders want to confess is that oil prices, and oil supply, may be signaling an end to cheap oil.

Rather than confess the myriad economic and political shock waves of a “peak oil” event, the powers that be would rather use “climate change” to justify their suddenly important war against fossil fuels to mask a pivot toward ever more centralized government control of your thinking and your energy consumption.
Earlier in July, for example, the Financial Times announced that “in order for sustainable finance to work, we will need Central Planning.”

Really? Wonderful, more central planning.

This blunt declaration was made in regard to the EU’s new sustainable finance strategy and Green Bond Standard aimed at creating the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Sounds noble? Who wouldn’t love “climate neutral”?

But why do sustainable finance and climate neutrality require central planning?

What’s likely being deliberately censored from this initiative is that troublesome little notion so in danger today, namely allowing free markets to decide which energy sources provide the highest “Energy Return on Invested Energy” (EROIE).

Needless to say, when it comes to “bang for your buck” the best energy “rate of return” still comes from those pesky fossil fuels not windmills or nuclear reactors.

https://i0.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...16%2C493&ssl=1

Needless to say, if free-market forces were in actual play, participants would use of the cheapest, most cost-efficient source for energy, again: Fossil fuels.
Making headlines today, however, are global policymakers (from Yellen to the IEA) endeavoring (nobly?) to gut-punch interest in fossil fuels.

The IEA has openly stated they want energy groups to stop producing oil and gas by 2050.

But again: Is the motive truly noble? Is this about the environment? The planet’s safety? Or something else?

Cynically (and I am a cynic), there may be a darker problem beneath the surface of this political shine, including the fact that the oil production beneath the surface of that same planet has not moved much at all in the last decade.
https://i2.wp.com/goldswitzerland.co...24%2C393&ssl=1

In other words, has the world reached peak oil?

Are policy makers deliberately attacking the free market use of energy sources to save the planet, or do they secretly believe peak oil (namely peak “cheap” oil) is a stark reality against which policy makers must now take extreme action?

In sum, is “climate change” a politically correct ruse used to mask the much darker reality that “peak oil” is upon us, which would have a drastic impact on debt markets, geopolitics (think Saudi Arabia), and inflation (skyrocketing)?

Certainly, “climate change” offers far better political optics than “peak oil” headlines and all that it would portend should affordable oil become a distant memory.
More Centralization + More Spending + More Inflation = More Need to Prepare

As I wrote in a book published just weeks before the COVID outbreak, the financial system was already and openly Rigged to Fail well before a pandemic became the new pretext for once-unthinkable governmental influence (i.e., centralized control) over our markets and private lives.

The evidence of increasing centralization is all around us, yet in an increasingly politicized media which effectively parrots (rather than questions) governmental policy, what is entirely absent is increasingly open and public debate (as well as math) on everything from COVID policy to monetary policy.

Regardless of whether you feel governments are centralizing to benefit or control your future, the means to that centralized end will demand further spending, further debt-onboarding and hence further distortion of credit, equity, real estate and currency markets.

As for currencies, be they paper, digitalized CBDC, or some hybrid, informed investors recognized long ago that they will not be real stores of value, and hence the road ahead will certainly favor precious metals, as just about everything else “precious” about free markets and national currencies is behind us.

Needless to say, this explains why some of the largest and most recent buyers of gold are the global central banks (Russia, Hungary, Brazil…) themselves.
Just saying…
