Furlong and govt simulus
My daughter's going to Montessori and they furloughed 118 employees because the CEO claim the govt pays nearly same salary as what the company will pay due to furlough. This is in DFW area with 6 locations . Not sounds right to me to treat employees right!!

Why is Financial education must?
I lost my job as a waitress two weeks ago. I applied for unemployment but haven't heard anything back. I have never wanted nor received any kind of welfare. I have two children, and now I have to decide on buying groceries over paying my rent. I even downloaded the cash app because it has a program that donates tips to servers but to no avail nothing. I'm depressed and don't know what to do. If anyone can help my cash app is $AngelaTiffanyRogers. I've never asked anyone for handouts but in this time of need, I just don't know what to do. I really wish I could work. Thank you. God bless.

Homeopathy remedy used for Spanish flu influenza (Can be used for Current flu).
Dr E. Jones, a Homeopath who practiced in Buffalo, NY, writes, "There is an epidemic of this disease [influenza] in Buffalo; from 75 to 100 deaths are reported within 24 hours." (Jones, 1918, p.553) Like many of his homeopathic colleagues, Jones had considerable experience treating influenza epidemics and had never lost a case of influenza in nearly 50 years of practice. He writes, "[Influenza] is one of the easiest diseases to cure if a doctor knows his Materia Medica." (Jones, 1918, p.553)
In his paper, which was published by 3 principle newspapers, he provides a few suggestions for treatment:
If you should have chilly spells, and your nose feels stuffed up, great thirst, very restless and feverish, put five drops Tincture Aconite in half a glass of water, take one teaspoonful every hour. Put your feet in hot water, as hot as you can bear it, keep them in the water for 15 minutes. Drink plenty of hot lemonade. (Jones, 1918, p.553)
Dr James W. Ward reports 100% recoveries in 182 patients and reveals the 3 most frequently used remedies:
Gelsemium 3x: Controlled the fatigue cases having chilliness, moderate fever, sneezing, watery nasal discharge. No thirst. Yawning. Drowsy but often sleepless. Deep-seated, dull aching in the limbs and joints. Banded feeling around head or occiput fullness.
Eupatorium 3x: Marked chill followed by fever 103° to 105° F/39° to 41° C. Pulsating frontal or occipital headache. Intense aching in back. Deep bone aching. Nausea. Vomiting. Larynx rough, scraping sensation producing cough. Oppression of chest with soreness.
Bryonia 1x: Much chilliness, frequently with heat in head. Flushed face and much thirst. Heat more internal. Transient sweats of single parts. Dry cough which yields to blood specked expectoration. Constriction of chest and pressure on sternum. The symptoms all aggravated by motion… Desire to but unable to take deep breath. (Ward, 1919, p.856)
Liquid Diet
Homeopaths also made dietary recommendations consisting principally of fasting or liquids. Green comments, "The dietetic treatment of influenza is of great importance. I know of no disease, not even typhoid, in which a strictly liquid diet is of more importance." (Green, 1920, p.1102) McCann prescribed an egg white with orange juice every 3 hours for the first 2 days, adding a vegetarian diet of fruits, vegetables, and some cereals. Dr J. Johnson of Michigan put patients on "a strict diet [keeping] the patient in bed and not allowed to sit up until about two days after the fever was gone." (Johnson, 1919, p.1097)
Spanish flu (1918-1920) Vs Current Flu (2020)
The Spanish flu strain killed its victims with a swiftness never seen before. In the United States stories abounded of people waking up sick and dying on their way to work. The symptoms were gruesome: Sufferers would develop a fever and become short of breath. Lack of oxygen meant their faces appeared tinged with blue. Hemorrhages filled the lungs with blood and caused catastrophic vomiting and nosebleeds, with victims drowning in their own fluids. Unlike so many strains of influenza before it, Spanish flu attacked not only the very young and the very old, but also healthy adults between the ages of 20 and 40.
The second wave
The overcrowded trenches and encampments of the First World War became the perfect hosts for the disease. As troops moved, so the infection traveled with them. The wave that had first appeared in Kansas abated after a few weeks, but this was only a temporary reprieve. By September 1918 the epidemic was ready to enter its most lethal phase.
It has been calculated that the 13 weeks between September and December 1918 constituted the most intense period, taking the greatest number of lives.

It has been calculated that the 13 weeks between September and December 1918 constituted the most intense period, taking the greatest number of lives.
The end of 1918 brought a hiatus in the spread of the illness and January 1919 saw the beginning of the third and final phase. By then the disease was a much diminished force. The ferocity of the autumn and winter of the previous year was not repeated and mortality rates fell.
Merger & Acquisition
In my experience whenever a company buys another company, the purchasing company simply drops the cost of the purchased company on the backs of the company and its employees and customers. In most cases, the merged company becomes a shitshow. Often the workforce is reduced in size, the employees that keep their jobs are asked to take a cut in pay and benefits. Their customers often pay higher prices for products that are reformulated with ingredients that are lower in quality and quantity. Now extrapolate that to what the Fed has done. Expect to pay tolls at every turn. You won't be able to leave the house without having money to prepay the tolls. Expect to pay a cover charge to go grocery shopping.
Venezuela - Basic items are scarce - Dictator can ruin everyone's life
I am Venezuelan. The first time that Chávez won was legitimate. A lot of people wanted a change. He had been forgiven by the previous president who let him out of jail after being imprisoned for attempting a military coup. But after his first term, many were unhappy. He was expropriating private, local, big and small businesses, then bringing them to ruins. He would also badmouth the US constantly. Many international companies were very uncertain of investing in the country and started removing their businesses. He had also threatened TV and radio channels, as well as newspapers with closing them; which he ended up doing to some in his next term. There were massive protests against him in which many protesters were shot. Several national ONG's started asking for international assistance to stop his totalitarian practices. His second term was a questionable win. He changed the constitution to be reelected indefinitely and to extend his presidency time from 5 to 6 years. He took over the CNE (which counts the votes in all the elections). His support to narcotraficking activities in Colombia, as well as his corrupted ways, were alteady well known. He was perpetuated in power even after the massive protests. The CNE lost its credibility. Many of the opposition, though, were very naive, and continued to play the game of elections. National industries such as oil, power, water, transportation, communications, and construction were being neglected by the government, affecting their services to the public. Inflation kept on increasing, and Chavez continued deleting zeroes from the Bolivar, our currency, thinking that it would make a difference. He had put the country into a huge debt, and now we were depending mostly on oil. I forgot to mention that in the meantime, Chavez had brought cubans to be part of every existing government institution in Venezuela. People from all classes were very upset because of the lack of basic services such as water and electricity, as well as the increasing inflation, and insecurity. Express kidnappings became common. This was over 12 years ago. When Chavez learned of his sickness, he chose Maduro to be his succesor. Many basic products were already scarce, such as milk, sugar, oil, flour, gas for cars and for cooking, and cement. Many in the opposition believe that Maduro was one of the shooters in the protests against Chavez. In 2013 he was put there by the CNE after many irregularities were reported, such as huge bags of ballots found in abandoned roads. One cousin of mine found a bag. Throughout all these years, protests continued to be massive. Ever since I can remember there had been protests against Chavez and Maduro in Venezuela. Huge, massive, and constant. The worst ones I can remember were in 2014 and 2017, when civilians were bluntly shot by military and colectivos. The Colectivos started with Chavez as community groups to help them organize and solve their issues together. But they were armed by the government and during every protest receive the order from Maduro to "contain the rebels by any means." Chavez and Maduro's motto is Patria, Socialismo o Muerte. (Homeland, socialism or death.) The result of 20 years of protests has been thousands of political prisioners, as well as studens, and regular civilians of all ages and social statuses, who have been put in jail, or shot in daylight for opposing the government. Human Rights Watch has been following the situation for years, same as the OEA. After Maduro took over, the situation went even more south. He had been left with a humongous debt, industries were collapsing, yet he continued expropriating private businesses, and getting into more debt. Promises made 20 years ago were long gone. The oil prices had decreased, which is normal because it follows a cycle, inflation continued to cripple, and basic products such as rice, meat, chicken, eggs, fruit, vegetables, butter, toilet paper, femenine care, medicines, personal care, among others mentioned previously, were very scarce or nonexistent. Inflation had gone over 700%. Vendors stopped putting price marks on all their products (food, clothes, medicine, personal care, everything) because prices change everyday. This has been happening in the last 6 years. Power and water go out for days, so more businesses go under. Minimun wage is not enough to buy a dozen eggs. There is no public transportation. People have to walk 15 to 30 blocks to get to their jobs. Parts of cars are almost impossible to find and afford. Many don't drive their cars anymore because they cannot afford it and this also affected the bus system. Protests have dwindled because over 5 million people (rich and poor) have left. The rich and middle clases take planes. The poor cross the colombian or brazilian borders after days of walking. Some venture to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, with no money, barely a backpack. Colombia has been very supportive creating refugee camps to give them food and shelter. People leave because there is no more sovereignty. If they protest, they get shot, or tortured, and voting doesn't count. It's a charade put by the government to make believe the international community that they are democratic. But they bought these machines called Smartmatic and have been rigging the elections in the last 10 years. The CNE, which manages the elections, is ran by the government, Tibisay Lucena has runned it since 2006. The methods of torture practiced by the Sebin in El Helicoide, were they put all political prisoners, are horrid. They force them to mutilate each other, eat each other parts, and then kill each other. The colectivos drive by the neighborhoods of those who start the protests, from high, to middle and low income classes. They shoot whoever is walking on the street. They have entered homes to capture protesters, bit them up, kill them, or put them in jail. Most people that still live in Venezuela have quit their jobs because it's not worth it to work. Most of them survive by receiving dollars from family members abroad, and selling crafts, such as bakery goods, and spirits. They also used to do online surveys to earn pennies and a few dollars, but with the power gone everyday, they can't even do that anymore. In the last ten years, the government also created another control system: Only those who voted for Chavez could get "El carnet de la patria", a political party ID to buy cheaper food. Before things got worse, the government also began requiring civilians to only purchase food on certain days, according to the last number of their regular ID. This was for everyone. After waiting hours in line outside the supermarket, risking your life because people would attack each other for a better spot, you would go an put your fingerprint to be allowed to enter the grocery store. You were only allowed to buy one item of any product, if they had it. Most times, you wouldn't find it. This was Chavez and Maduro's way of solving the problem. Now they sell the Clap bag, which is not available all the time, and which products many times are expired. You need to have El Carnet de la patria to buy it. The products in it are also very random, never the same, so you pay for it without even knowing what you are getting. For 20 years, Chavez, Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, Tareck El Aissami, and those in the military and political parties, as well their families, have stollen the profits that come from oil, narcotraficking, and ilegally gold mining; destroying our rainforest. Their money has gone to bank accounts abroad. A few years ago Panama papers revealed some of their names. The nephew of our "first lady" (Maduro's wife) was caught traficking drugs and is being processed by international authorities. For all these reasons, the Venezuelan people asked for an international intervention. Many military that have tried to rebel against Maduro have been killed, such is the case of Oscar Perez. We need international help to get rid of this dictatorship of horror. Over 56 countries have supported us, as well as the ONU. We hope more countries join our fight, so we can have free elections without Maduro or any of his criminal allies as options, and end this nightmare for once and for all.

Business collapse in a week
Within 1 week , my successful restaurant business of 60 years is literally financially SLAUGHTERED along with ALL employees that survive paycheck to paycheck . We currently have ZERO income . Orders to go cannot cover fixed overhead costs anymore . How many small businesses have the potential to survive when this virus is in fact finally over?
Health care during flu
Hey I have an idea. The government act in the interests of the people and be open and truthful from the beginning so instead of panicking, everyone has a good understanding of the real risks and how the virus spreads and causes deadly disease in some but is relatively harmless to everyone else. The government's goal was to use this as an excuse for the crashing economy, stock markets, bond markets, even real estate markets. Allowing them to save lives by un necessarily closing borders, implementing social distancing resulting in all non essential businesses having to close down.
We have now destroyed practically all of small business, all entertainment and recreation shut down, millions will be unemployed resulting in increased domestic violence,, thousands more homeless, crimewaves. Manufacturing has come to a grinding halt, and when all this combines with epic stimulus and bailouts, handouts and new welfare programs the massive inflation and a huge shortage of goods will combine with the affect of crippling price increases.
The people are being taught to fear cash because it will spread the deadly virus meaning we will soon all be trapped in the banking system suffering negative rates, bail ins and skyrocketing fees and penalties.
The virus quickly ended the massive protests going on all over the world, putting the whole world in a state of fear and panic so it welcomes the further loss of freedoms allowing the ushering in of real time survallance of everyone, allowing potentially infected people to be hunted down and placed under house arrest
Now getting back to the virus, yet another stroke of luck for the government's drowning in unfunded pension liabilities and pressure on the health care system, this virus is particularly dangerous for the elderly and /or immunocompromised.. It's true that essentially this virus has the appearance of flu in the way it's transmitted and the similar symtpms expressed.
However concerning several important vectors that relate to it's over all virulence, this new corona virus is on some serious steroids.
Here's what we have known about the virus for almost months now.
It has a long incubation period, and people are infectious for a significant period whilst being asymptomatic
This virus can live on surfaces for days instead of hours. It's spread when people cough or sneeze on other people or objects that people touch. Just like the flu.
What makes it 20 to 30 times more deadly than flu is is spreads much quicker and easier. It also seems to target a protein found in several different organs when in a disease state, particularly lungs.
Knowing all this I will now suggest an educated, sensible response to what is a particularly dangerous flu type virus.
You only need to do the same things you do for a regular flu outbreak but you have to do it better and take it more seriously.
Again the group at hi risk of serious disease or death are the old, sick or immunocompromised. Everyone else with very few exceptions will experience a mild illness much like the flu.
Of course there are exceptions. It was soon discovered that one of the factors that determined whether someone got a little bit sick or developed pneumonia and sometimes organ failure is the size of the viral load one is subjected when first exposed to the virus. The smaller the viral load that infects a person, the longer the immune system has to mobilise and attack the virus before it can replicate exponentially to levels high enough to overwhelm the immune systems leading to more serious life threatening disease. This is the best most logical explanation for the rare occasion a young fit healthy person developed a serious illness
All this was known with a high probability of accuracy 6 weeks ago
For me there was no need to panic, we just needed to get familier with these facts and clearly honestly, calmly but still with a sense of urgency educate the people about the way it's spread and the hygiene protocol to keep the environmental viral load as small as possible. Having the effect of smaller initial exposures slowing down the time it takes to replicate to dangerous levels, therefore minimising the severity of illness for people of all risk levels. We also should have educated everyone and assisted them in ways to boost their immune systems.in the weeks leading up to it's arrival here.
So what of we acted like this. Instead of a scared panicking people confused about practically everything and not knowing what to do, the people through honest transparent sharing of all information as early as possible so they are empowered to calmly way up the facts and know what to do on there own. Nothing needed to shut down, no businesses needed to be ruined nor millions of jobs lost all at once.
People could have been armed with correct knowledge and know how to asses their own risk and the risk of others. Those that assess their risk to be unacceptably high are the only ones that need to isolate of they choose. If they don't isolate, they will be aware of the risk which is 100% on them, as through hygiene and healthy immune systems all those going to work and going about their normal lives will not be placed at any significantly greater risk Naturally nursing homes and jails would be off limits to everyone except necessary staff. These staff would receive some extra training and would also isolate to minimise the risk to the residence .
What a different scenario. A risk free vaccine free road to herd immunity without the need for tyrannical police states, panic and economical suicide that will prove to be more deadly than the virus
Peace out
Notice how I didn't use the phrase "lock down" pnce

Border closed
I live in the US. I have a bank account in Canada. When Trump started closing borders two weeks ago, I drove to Canada and got my gold out of storage. It took me three hours to go through US, then Canada customs to get an export form, then back to US Customs. They asked why I was doing this. I said Trump will close the border. They laughed.
The border closed the next day.
The border closed the next day.
Depression coming
People are going to suffer soon, my family included. There will be unrest from those with no work. What do we do now? try not to starve.
Gold Consfication-How
The way the government will take metals from us will be via extreme taxes on sale/purchase of metals and or will make it illegal to use in transactions. They will then offer a low ball offer to take it off the masses hands in exchange for their revalued fiat and when they feel that they absorbed enough metal from the masses, they will then skyrocket the price of metals thus making themselves the Kings of the world all over again! History repeats/rhymes!
Social distancing
For the first time in my life I witnessed a man passed out in front of the liquor store during business hours being taken away by first responders (he had been seen downing a bottle of vodka just prior). We onlookers were standing outside in line waiting turn to enter the bank, a main branch still open. People seemed genuinely nervous about getting infected and maintained their 6 foot distance.
I agree with Gerald Calente that we are entering something like we have never seen. Our leader in Canada is already presenting guaranteed income of $30,000. per person as a solution along with substantial tax hikes. If the majority are unemployed, who will pay the taxes? These important changes are occurring at a blinding speed without public ascent and people seem unhappy.

UK lockdown situtation
here in the UK,the gullible are in the majority as are the desperate.
The police are out in force enforcing breathing.On my way to work this morning,I was stopped three times for daring to hurry on my scooter.I grew up in Northern Ireland during the "troubles"and contempt was the least of the police's worries.But luckily they have "grasses"for those of us who actually have to work to make money.I have read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and thought so much was hyperbole,witnessing my neighbours reactions here in the UK,I think he underplayed it.We always wondered how the German people were seduced by a demagogue now we know.Germany today has "suspended"democracy for a year whilst leaving their borders open for invasion.
Meanwhile.$5.4T was stolen starting 19th March 2020 with an additional $2.5T as desert,you plebs will not see a penny of this its only for the "right sort",while police stand around muscle bound and slack jawed intimidating the phage.
A great testament to our managerial class are the empty shelves and restrictions in place in our shops and supermarkets.Since when have chickens stopped laying or cows stopped milk production whilst we phage.
Still,its good to see that the USA has gone Russian circa 1993,where Yeltsin handed the wealth of Russia to an oligarch elite headed by the Harvard boys,now we have the same class strip mining the USA and being cheered on by the plebs,as the phage rages.Astounding.
Obviously the poor people as a whole in the West have had a collapse in IQ.

Govt Support during crisis
we enter into a nationwide lock down in NZ from midnight tonight for 4 weeks, all business closed today except for essential businesses. I still have pay all my staff and overheads, Government have offered support but guess who has to cover the costs in the meanwhile!
Crisis & Online Schooling
Pennsylvania shut down their online charter schools when they shut down their public schools so that people wouldn't switch their kids over to the online charter schools and take funding from the public schools. They did this to appease the teacher's union. Yes, they shut down online schools because of the corona virus
Avoid Debt
Thank God, as a Baby Boomer in the UK, I was brought up the old fashioned way - avoid debt all costs. The only exception was our first modest house in 68 (£1500) which we paid off after a few years by paying a little excess in. What we did not have we went without, buying things only when we saved up enough. One wedding present was a s/h carpet with a hole worn it it! We got on old top-loading washing machine with agitator given, I wheeled across town in an old wooden wheelbarrow. Second hand stuff, repaired furniture, darned socks, old cars I serviced and repaired myself on the road, etc. I could never understand all this buy now-pay later mentality as you always paid more than if buying it in cash. Even now, I see such as car adverts everywhere stating what the monthly payment is with no obvious sign of what the total will be or for how long. Are we not supposed to care? I despair of people.
I notice how TV ads NEVER verbally mention the Pound(£) when quoting prices like 299.99 (that penny off being another trick of deception), only if they are quoting the amount you are SAVING, like £30 (Pounds!). I have been prepping and stacking p.m's for 7 years, seeing that the chickens will come home to roost one day and that seems now, UK under Marshall Law, food shelves emptying, police on the streets demanding the reason for your trip. We are in for very bad times and I am sorry for the majority who have not seen this coming, not that I will be completely unaffected, my Christian beliefs seeing to that. As has been said, being worldwide this time, it will make the Great Depression look like a walk in the park - something we are presently allowed to do just once a day for some exercise. 1984 is here, Soylent Green possibly next.

Company stock - Officers
Proceed at your own risk but when I was working in banking, every time a bank knew it was going to be bought or merged, it opened up stock purchasing to low level employees. Officer always had the privilege of buying the company stock. So the Officers were told (insider information, yeppers) when the sale would be announced and what day it would take place. This gave them time to sell their stock high. Employees jumped on the band wagon and bought stock (which propped up the stock price while the officers were unloading theirs) only to find out that AFTER the purchase/merger, the stocks were split in half, or thirds, or fourths. Effectively, the value of a $30 stock dropped down to $6.00. And then most of the employees were laid off adding insult to injury. I still have stock in Wachovia fka SouthTrust Bank because it is worth less than $10 (this is twenty years later now) and it would cost me $36 to sell it.

Educate yourself for free
I am happy to see they aren't starving to death. Education often ends up indoctrination, and generally isn't as important as people make it out to be. Good education can be had for free on sites like Khan Academy dot org. If you have a phone and the will you can be educated. It won't give you a diploma, but often a diploma is simply proof of indoctrination. The more people that have a diploma, the less value that diploma has. In many countries the price of University isn't worth the degree granted due to an overeducated populace.
Better to focus on food and farming, and living independent of the system that attempts to oppress you.

Central bank workings
Tell me if I am wrong , the FED lends money to anyone with an asset , so in theory when everything blows up and the money is worthless and everyone defaults on their loans , the fed ends up owning everything for money that cost them nothing to print. . It's Brilliant and Diabolical at the same time . They take advantage of human greed while satisfying their own . So all the companies who bought their stock back to drive up the price so they could get bonus have basically sold their companies to the FED as they are all going to default .
Good investment
The issue is supply and demand. The things that lose demand will lose value, while the things that have high demand, and especially those that have reductions in supply, will become very costly. This is why you need to stock up before the currency gets inflated. For example, make sure you buy groceries before people get their stimulus checks, because afterward the supplies are going to run out again, and the prices are going to increase.
flu
I understand your views and I m certain this is engineered. That said, I have this virus. I'm aware of every breath as my lungs are battling for oxygen. The rest of the world blurs in importance when it gets bad. My case is mild. Its horrific when its flaring up. Keep fighting the good fight, but don't you dare underestimate the virus. It's waiting for any chance to take over your lungs and do as it will.
Where to SAVE
I highly suggest get as much cash USD in hand as you can ….and when the USD bonds begin to crash , which i think will be next year , after the rigged election ,after europe etc have crashed… make sure you have gold in hand… what i think will happen is the establishment will print massively USD one last time destroying all public confidence as they front run what ever is left (probably timed with next seasons engineered virus )….. and then it will be digital currency , total surveillance or revolution ..either way we are facing the end of this quantitive monetary ponzy and what ever will be the next . Govts and their militarized scum are coming
They are seeking to eliminate ANY means of circumventing their negative interest rate policy. They believe that the only reason their Quantitative Easing has failed is that people were hoarding cash and gold outside the banking system. Instead of looking at the problem with Keynesian Economics, they NEVER assume they are the problem – it is always the people.
People have been hoarding gold jewelry. Italy began to weigh the gold jewelry you were wearing when you left the country. I do not believe this will be successful. That is not the point. It is solely intended to force everyone into government digital currencies. Then they can just tax whatever they desire.
The excuse for this quarantine is that there will not be enough hospital beds for everyone. The answer is what the Chinese did, constructed emergency hospitals in days. You do NOT shut down the entire economy like this !!. People are losing jobs and small businesses will close forever. The damage is far greater than what they pretend to be preventing. Either they are sublimely STUPID, or there is another agenda here.
Europe was on the edge of collapse. They have had negative interest rates since 2014. The central bank could do NOTHING. There had to be political reform. They are actually doing what I thought would do, using sheer force. Europe is losing its freedoms and they will NEVER return.
Meanwhile, we have a major deleveraging process underway. Many Hedge Funds have traded with a fundamental view that defeats the very purpose of a hedge fund if it is based upon just opinion. As the Hedge Funds puke all over the street, the margins rise which have a tendency of not just deleveraging the system but forcing further liquidations. This is the stark reality we are facing this coming week further liquidations. Some funds may be forced to shut down based upon withdrawals by the end of the quarter.
There is no question we are looking at economic numbers that will reflect depression-like economic data because this is a contrived economic collapse which is totally unjustified. Jobless claims are going to skyrocket for people MUST be fired in order to collect unemployment. I recommend this to business's to help their employees. The economic damage inflicted on the economy is going to be massive. Any recovery will be hard to imagine if this lasts another two weeks.
This is an engineered CV crisis.
The entire thing has been insanely blown out of proportion to cover up the global currency/biod crisis.
There is a-lot more to this than what the masses are being brainwashed with .
The media keep pushing this disease into a panic claiming the numbers are fake and it is much worse, being used as Pawns for the ID2020. The real concern is that there are other coronaviruses which typically amount to 14% of flu-like diseases each year. This has contributed to false-positive claims of the Coronavirus. Even the American Dental Association has instructed dentists to shut down for 2 weeks. With less than 15,000 reported cases in the USA, given that the 2018 population was 327.2 million, we are talking about 0.00004% of the population. If the number of flu-caused deaths exceeds 7.7 percent of the total, then the United States officially has an epidemic on its hands.
@t
There is something much more sinister going on here and it has nothing to do with coronavirus. You do not shut down the world economy for such a minor incident. An epidemic would require more than 4 million deaths in the United States – not less than 200.
There is no question that the fundamentalists #1 Golden Rule has been when stocks crash, run to bonds. We are entering the collapse in public confidence and this is BEYOND the central banks despite the massive attempts to intervene. Keynesianism is DEAD!!!! We have entered uncharted territory which is the darkest fears of academics for they know nothing about such scenarios. The bond markets are offering no refuge this time for the flight to quality. The diversification strategies, real value investors, and correlation desks have all lost the most money during this crisis all because the #1 Golden Rule has crumbled and fallen to the ground in a pile of dust. The traditional 60% in shares and 40% in fixed income has collapsed. There has been a worldwide panic to dollars both among institutions as we see in the FX markets, but in the physical world of cash dollars have been vanishing as hoarding skyrockets. There have even been shortages of physical dollars in New York City. Paper dollars have been hard to find in Europe and in many places they are now selling for a premium.
The failure of the bonds to provide the alternative in a stock crash confirms that Keynesian Economics is dead and monetary policy has lost its stimulative power because of this insane negative interest rates. Real rates rise in times of a crisis as illustrated by the call money chart showing dramatic rises in rates pre-Federal Reserve and pre-Keynesian Economics. The central banks have been trying to PREVENT the rise in short-term rates taking place in the Repo Market since September 2019.
The central banks have been fighting a losing battle against the normal forces of how capital moves during a crisis. During a crisis as this, interest rates rise with the perception of a rise in credit risk. The central banks have been trying to create a bear market in interest rates in the middle of a bull market where rates would instinctively rise
All of those clinging to the Quantity Theory of Money from politicians, analysts and central bankers, you have to wonder how many times must they all be wrong in assuming an increase in the supply of money must be inflationary. That theory has proven to be suitable for a bedtime story for children. Academics, who has fostered this theory, lack any trading experience. Sorry – all things DO NOT REMAIN EQUAL!
This has not been a market crash sparked by the black swan event using a novel virus that central bankers cannot defend against, this has been an orchestrated overreaction with ulterior motives. There is NO amount of money that can be poured into the economy to reverse the trend as long as people's confidence in the future has been destroyed by the media. This is no different from how the media created the Spanish American War accusing the Spanish of attacking an American ship that never happened. They name the prize for good journalism after the father of fake news.
This is the destruction of capital formation. The entire Quantity Theory of Money is bogus and has never held up if you simply investigate the history. The old theories of debasing money which led to the start of that theory was during an era when coins were precious metal and they exchanged in value among nations on their metal content. That was the Latin Monetary Union. The same amount of metal established the foreign exchange rate among nations. However, as debasement took place and wars suspended the precious metal standards, money revealed its hidden nature – political power.
The true nation of money was always international confidence in the government. India would imitate the gold coins of Rome because people trusted the Roman coinage. Gold carried a premium over its metal content based upon political power. The ancient coinage demonstrated that money was NOT the pure intrinsic value of the metal, but the confidence in the political state issuing that coinage.
We find the very same trend 600 years earlier when Athens was the financial capital of the world. Silver was imitated in the form of Athenian Owls, which was the first worldwide currency to appear. Athenian Owls were imitated in Europe to Africa. Once again, these were not counterfeits but imitations. The metal content was some time of an even higher grade. This confirmed that the premium of currency was created by the political stature of the issuer.
This is what we are witnessing right now – the Panic to the Dollar. You must understand that this is a long historical documented reaction. The rush to dollars right now is as old as recorded history. The currency of the dominant financial capital of the world will always trade at a premium in times of crisis.
The massive liquidation going on among hedge funds who have never understood the Quantity Theory of Money is taking us into the end game where there is no shelter in bonds, but only cash. The statement of Ray Dalio that "cash is trash" illustrated the arrogance of that philosophy constructed on the false Quantity Theory of Money. The typical flight to quality running to government bonds has failed and the rush is simply to cash.
If you look at the markets and not the headlines, as the U.S. stocks collapsed in panic on Wednesday by 5%, turn to the TLT $17 billion exchange-traded fund that tracked long-dated Treasuries. That very day saw its second-worst day ever in the middle of a panic. That was NOT supposed to happen, according to the Quantity Theory of Money believers. If we simply trade by the numbers and not dogma, we saw both equities and bonds plummet. Those who have been focused on cross-asset correlations, none of this was supposed to be even possible. Equities plunged alongside and government bonds. We entered the new reality where Keynesian Economics has collapsed and there is nothing to replace it.
The staggering losses that will come out this quarter because of the fund managers who have all been based on the Quantity Theory of Money warns that we may yet face the shocking revelation of just how much capital was destroyed. Even those who relied upon a risk-parity index that was supposed to create a diversified systematic strategy as it allocated money based on volatility levels has been blown out of the water. I DON'T believe in diversification models !. Why invest in something I expect to lose money in as insurance when I can do the proper analysis and determine where to invest.
While the European Central Bank tried to claim that it had NOT run out of ammo announcing an emergency bond-buying program worth €750 billion euros, all this does is keep the government on life-support. The greatest risk at this time is to dump money into government debt. Even gold has not proven to be a better option in the long term as hedge funds have lost so much money in other areas, they have been forced to liquidate gold simply to raise cash.
This Keynesian Model of lowering interest rates has completely failed and it has acted counter-trend to how the capital functions in a panic – the top priority becomes credit risk. The closer the yield of fixed moves toward zero, the more negatively skewed bonds become. Bonds have simply become a tremendous risk for they are becoming not a place to hide, but a place to obtain a guaranteed loss. The risk of negative-yielding debt is that their prices will collapse 20%-60% as capital in the free market looks at credit risk and what level of return is necessary to prevent hoarding of cash.
I detest Govts and all these wall street, city of london Brussels EU banksters and crime syndicates !!. With this global currency/bond crisis I am protecting myself and yes those like me will do well, because we understand what is going on. Govts don't want a truly educated population and they sure as hell are not going to ever come out and tell the truth , for there guaranteed will be revolutions with politicians bankers hanging from light poles. , BUT these are the facts of what is happening.
If you can exchange your savage for USD i would highly recommend you look into it.
I highly suggest get as much cash USD in hand as you can ….and when the USD bonds cash , which i think will be next year , after europe etc have crashed… make sure you have gold in hand… hat i think will happen is the establishment will print massively use one last time destroyed all public confidence as they front run what ever is left ….. and then it will be digital currency , total surveillance or revolution ..either way we are facing the end of this quantitive monetary ponzy and what ever will be the next . Govts and their militarized scum are coming
Yes, it is, Paper price is and will diverge massively though . What you hold is what you will have. Being paid out in digs dollars wont translate when it counts, thats only to try and stop panic . Cash in USD and Gold coins are best as they are recognized . But when the US bond short term rates begin to rise, then it will be too late to exit USD . I wouldn't hold USD past jan next year
I think so (Trump will still be next president. ) too. My concerns are marshal law .( IMHO , I think this a "sort of " dry run for next seasons fully blown virus that will be used for the currency/bond crisis . I am just voicing my thoughts and concerns and I think all of us appreciate feedback , as i sure do. I look at the daily Feds Repo actions !! Jezz!!! Why is Trump not even mentoning it !? (and yes i am a constitutionalist . I dont like either party ) , however , this is the first time that i am truly preparing big time to get the hell away from what i see coming at us very fast. Its evident to me that hedge funds etc are liquidating what ever they can to try and cover margins !! Gold silver of course !! I think RE will take a massive hit . It has to ! as small business's go under . And banks are not passing in low rates . I am looking at buying property (productive property in southern Italy) 1. because I like the culture, food etc and I like the fact I can relax far away from Cities . Its also close to Ukraine where I like the beautiful women. I also think that with the Euro crashing down past parity , that export businesss if set up right in say Lietebstein will be a good business with currency differentials. I have moved out of California , sold the house six months ago and at present am in North Carolina . I think its one of the best places , cheap productive land, lots of water, and big money is buying ,building bolt holes here…. I am in USD cash and Gold , silver … My thoughts are which areas i like to live a good life , what cultures i like and what areas i think have upside. I truly do not see America as having an upside (sure some States) , but i see secession coming and civil war . Good as the entire west coast is commo and loaded with insanity, bankruptcy, welfare breeders and growing violence. I think that places like Ukraine have upside, intelligent motivated people who hate socialism , It inly has upside so is undervalued , Sure you mat have to use "natural law" , but its far more productive and honest than this BS corrupt system where the justice system is totally broken…I also cannot take the feminist freaks here or these emasculated turds ….
Europe has directed bullion dealers not to sell to individuals. You will probably see next week a proposal floated that asks Europeans to turn in their gold and convert it to digital under the claim this is patriotic. There are growing fears in Europe that they will cancel the paper currency and force everyone to go digital. This is why there have been runs on banks in the USA for cash dollars in New York, not for fear that the bank will fail, but a panic to get out of Euros.
There is a rumor that is spreading that Europe will confiscate gold as Roosevelt did, but not to back the currency with gold, but to force all wealth into a digital currency. This would be a game-changer in Europe. I do not see this unfolding outside of the Eurozone. Keep in mind that Europeans are very familiar with canceling currencies. It is ONLY the paper currency which is canceled – not the Euro itself. That is routine in Europe to force people who have the cash to declare it and pay taxes or lose everything. They cannot cancel US dollars, but they have been imposing stricter regulations on gold for the past two years. As I have said, never let a good crisis go to waste. I believe you may start to see this idea floated in the press next week. It will probably be voluntary at first. I do not believe they will outlaw it on the first go. Longer-term, it just becomes very difficult. The Swiss began numbered accounts because Hitler outlawed having any account in a foreign country. The Swiss now ask the EU how high should they jump. They are no longer the safe haven they once were. So Swiss accounts will no longer be an option. The only option is the USA since it is not part of their reporting agreement.
Even New Zealand is part of the order where banks must report $10,000 in cash transactions. Australia has made it a criminal act to pay for anything in $10,000 in cash. The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is an information standard for the automatic exchange of tax and financial information on a global level. It was put together by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) back in 2014. Its purpose was to hunt down tax evasion primarily for the European Union. They took the concept from the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which imposed liabilities on foreign institutions if they did not report what Americans were doing outside the country.
The legal basis of the CRS is the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters. As of 2016, 83 countries had signed an agreement to implement it. First reporting took place in September 2017. The CRS has many loopholes for countries have to sign the agreement. This has omitted the United States as well as most developing countries. Note that countries that are included are China, Singapore, Switzerland, most tax havens and of course Australian/New Zealand as well as Canada.
As of 2018, the signing nations to avoid are:
Albania, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Australia, Austria, The Bahamas, Bahrain, Belize, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, China, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Marshall Islands, Macao (China), Malaysia, Mauritius, Monaco, Nauru, New Zealand, Pakistan, Panama, Qatar, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Samoa, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sint Maarten, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Vanuatu
Thanks well we all have to imho try to help those of us who are awake and those learning about what is going on. There is going to be massive panic.Its all common sense. .I don't know if I am that same person . From where were you talking ??I recommend getting the hell out of the Euro , Aussie, NZD and converting to USD , Cash in hand . Don't worry about the gyrations in Gold Silver as hedge funds , banks etc are liquidating whatever they can to try and stay afloat, covering their carry trades, bank swaps, and leveraged off shore loans in USD. This has only just begun and its will accelerate as the USD rises . If you want to make more , rather than relaxing, with your USD and Gold at home , leverage short the Euro, Leverage long the USD (very simple trades ) and don't stress over those currency gyrations (as its only Govts and BIG institutions, CBs and the Fed in particular using the Repo to try and stem the trend and trying to calm the panic .The market is FAR too big for any of these institutions to keep using quantitive money Repo to try and save their negative rate BS !!! The panic will come and that is when only real assets. Gold in hand etc , productive land (not over priced RE) will skyrocket . You only need check the mail Fed Repo BS going on. https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/domestic-market-operations/monetary-policy-implementation/repo-reverse-repo-agreements/repurchase-agreement-operational-details
This is only what we know of (and few people read this anyway) The fed has to legally make some, SOME of their Bailouts "public", guaranteed its far FAR worse. And the facts are they cannot stop because the yield curve reversed over six months ago !!!They can no longer control long rates or short term rates !!! . This will keep going until the masses panic and then rates will skyrocket . This is when pensions and Govt promises completely go under. This is why this COVID-19-19(infuenza-A) has been engineered as the scapegoat . Govts will NEVER come out and tell the public what is going on, Whether its Trump , Como Bernie , Senile Biden , Criminal Clintons etc , they only react . All common sense . IMHO get far far away from Cities . You have time , but this is coming at us fast . This is the Endgame of this quantitive Monterey Keynesian ponzi scheme . Read the second amendment .
The name is a character out of "Atlas Shrugged ". If you haven't read the book , I think you would like it.
A far better book, though , I highly recommend and wish everyone would read is : https://www.amazon.com/Cra-hmaker-Federal-Affaire-Novel/dp/0967175909
Yes. it looks like it was engineered in the States . The answer can only come from finding patient "zero" , which when Trump and co were asked , they got very very defensive . (BTW I am not a liberal or Repub). more of a librarian nationalist constitutionalist but in fact the Articles of Confederation with strong states rights without the open borders and an honest Monterey system . Of course the Fed is the problem but now we have a far far bigger problem world federalization with digi currency backed by SDRs and carbon bullshit taxes , which are an absolute full spectrum dominance takeover weapon !! I see the breakup of states . The lib/commo states will break away . China/Asia are not really the problem, the US Govt are .
"When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader" - Plato
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has first destroyed itself from within. The essential cause of Rome's decline lay in her people and her morals."
As the Roman Empire rose to greatness, it no doubt assumed that its power would last for centuries to come. But even while its citizens were living in prosperity, the empire was crumbling from the inside. You will find this true of any civilization that has ultimately collapsed or has been overcome by a foreign power. It first fell apart on the inside. The landscape of history is strewn with the remains of once-great nations that let moral decay from within bring them to ruin. The same has already happened in America today as moral,intellectual and bodily decay continue the rapid collapse Economically,morally and culturally as its apathetic, cowardly and intellectually brainwashed and vacuum dried populous are fed the bread & circuses ,whilst corruption sucks the last vestige of wealth and morality out of the corpse.
They are seeking to eliminate ANY means of circumventing their negative interest rate policy. They believe that the only reason their Quantitative Easing has failed is that people were hoarding cash and gold outside the banking system. Instead of looking at the problem with Keynesian Economics, they NEVER assume they are the problem – it is always the people.
People have been hoarding gold jewelry. Italy began to weigh the gold jewelry you were wearing when you left the country. I do not believe this will be successful. That is not the point. It is solely intended to force everyone into government digital currencies. Then they can just tax whatever they desire.
The excuse for this quarantine is that there will not be enough hospital beds for everyone. The answer is what the Chinese did, constructed emergency hospitals in days. You do NOT shut down the entire economy like this !!. People are losing jobs and small businesses will close forever. The damage is far greater than what they pretend to be preventing. Either they are sublimely STUPID, or there is another agenda here.
Europe was on the edge of collapse. They have had negative interest rates since 2014. The central bank could do NOTHING. There had to be political reform. They are actually doing what I thought would do, using sheer force. Europe is losing its freedoms and they will NEVER return.
Meanwhile, we have a major deleveraging process underway. Many Hedge Funds have traded with a fundamental view that defeats the very purpose of a hedge fund if it is based upon just opinion. As the Hedge Funds puke all over the street, the margins rise which have a tendency of not just deleveraging the system but forcing further liquidations. This is the stark reality we are facing this coming week further liquidations. Some funds may be forced to shut down based upon withdrawals by the end of the quarter.
There is no question we are looking at economic numbers that will reflect depression-like economic data because this is a contrived economic collapse which is totally unjustified. Jobless claims are going to skyrocket for people MUST be fired in order to collect unemployment. I recommend this to business's to help their employees. The economic damage inflicted on the economy is going to be massive. Any recovery will be hard to imagine if this lasts another two weeks.
This is an engineered CV crisis.
The entire thing has been insanely blown out of proportion to cover up the global currency/biod crisis.
There is a-lot more to this than what the masses are being brainwashed with .
The media keep pushing this disease into a panic claiming the numbers are fake and it is much worse, being used as Pawns for the ID2020. The real concern is that there are other coronaviruses which typically amount to 14% of flu-like diseases each year. This has contributed to false-positive claims of the Coronavirus. Even the American Dental Association has instructed dentists to shut down for 2 weeks. With less than 15,000 reported cases in the USA, given that the 2018 population was 327.2 million, we are talking about 0.00004% of the population. If the number of flu-caused deaths exceeds 7.7 percent of the total, then the United States officially has an epidemic on its hands.
@t
There is something much more sinister going on here and it has nothing to do with coronavirus. You do not shut down the world economy for such a minor incident. An epidemic would require more than 4 million deaths in the United States – not less than 200.
There is no question that the fundamentalists #1 Golden Rule has been when stocks crash, run to bonds. We are entering the collapse in public confidence and this is BEYOND the central banks despite the massive attempts to intervene. Keynesianism is DEAD!!!! We have entered uncharted territory which is the darkest fears of academics for they know nothing about such scenarios. The bond markets are offering no refuge this time for the flight to quality. The diversification strategies, real value investors, and correlation desks have all lost the most money during this crisis all because the #1 Golden Rule has crumbled and fallen to the ground in a pile of dust. The traditional 60% in shares and 40% in fixed income has collapsed. There has been a worldwide panic to dollars both among institutions as we see in the FX markets, but in the physical world of cash dollars have been vanishing as hoarding skyrockets. There have even been shortages of physical dollars in New York City. Paper dollars have been hard to find in Europe and in many places they are now selling for a premium.
The failure of the bonds to provide the alternative in a stock crash confirms that Keynesian Economics is dead and monetary policy has lost its stimulative power because of this insane negative interest rates. Real rates rise in times of a crisis as illustrated by the call money chart showing dramatic rises in rates pre-Federal Reserve and pre-Keynesian Economics. The central banks have been trying to PREVENT the rise in short-term rates taking place in the Repo Market since September 2019.
The central banks have been fighting a losing battle against the normal forces of how capital moves during a crisis. During a crisis as this, interest rates rise with the perception of a rise in credit risk. The central banks have been trying to create a bear market in interest rates in the middle of a bull market where rates would instinctively rise
All of those clinging to the Quantity Theory of Money from politicians, analysts and central bankers, you have to wonder how many times must they all be wrong in assuming an increase in the supply of money must be inflationary. That theory has proven to be suitable for a bedtime story for children. Academics, who has fostered this theory, lack any trading experience. Sorry – all things DO NOT REMAIN EQUAL!
This has not been a market crash sparked by the black swan event using a novel virus that central bankers cannot defend against, this has been an orchestrated overreaction with ulterior motives. There is NO amount of money that can be poured into the economy to reverse the trend as long as people's confidence in the future has been destroyed by the media. This is no different from how the media created the Spanish American War accusing the Spanish of attacking an American ship that never happened. They name the prize for good journalism after the father of fake news.
This is the destruction of capital formation. The entire Quantity Theory of Money is bogus and has never held up if you simply investigate the history. The old theories of debasing money which led to the start of that theory was during an era when coins were precious metal and they exchanged in value among nations on their metal content. That was the Latin Monetary Union. The same amount of metal established the foreign exchange rate among nations. However, as debasement took place and wars suspended the precious metal standards, money revealed its hidden nature – political power.
The true nation of money was always international confidence in the government. India would imitate the gold coins of Rome because people trusted the Roman coinage. Gold carried a premium over its metal content based upon political power. The ancient coinage demonstrated that money was NOT the pure intrinsic value of the metal, but the confidence in the political state issuing that coinage.
We find the very same trend 600 years earlier when Athens was the financial capital of the world. Silver was imitated in the form of Athenian Owls, which was the first worldwide currency to appear. Athenian Owls were imitated in Europe to Africa. Once again, these were not counterfeits but imitations. The metal content was some time of an even higher grade. This confirmed that the premium of currency was created by the political stature of the issuer.
This is what we are witnessing right now – the Panic to the Dollar. You must understand that this is a long historical documented reaction. The rush to dollars right now is as old as recorded history. The currency of the dominant financial capital of the world will always trade at a premium in times of crisis.
The massive liquidation going on among hedge funds who have never understood the Quantity Theory of Money is taking us into the end game where there is no shelter in bonds, but only cash. The statement of Ray Dalio that "cash is trash" illustrated the arrogance of that philosophy constructed on the false Quantity Theory of Money. The typical flight to quality running to government bonds has failed and the rush is simply to cash.
If you look at the markets and not the headlines, as the U.S. stocks collapsed in panic on Wednesday by 5%, turn to the TLT $17 billion exchange-traded fund that tracked long-dated Treasuries. That very day saw its second-worst day ever in the middle of a panic. That was NOT supposed to happen, according to the Quantity Theory of Money believers. If we simply trade by the numbers and not dogma, we saw both equities and bonds plummet. Those who have been focused on cross-asset correlations, none of this was supposed to be even possible. Equities plunged alongside and government bonds. We entered the new reality where Keynesian Economics has collapsed and there is nothing to replace it.
The staggering losses that will come out this quarter because of the fund managers who have all been based on the Quantity Theory of Money warns that we may yet face the shocking revelation of just how much capital was destroyed. Even those who relied upon a risk-parity index that was supposed to create a diversified systematic strategy as it allocated money based on volatility levels has been blown out of the water. I DON'T believe in diversification models !. Why invest in something I expect to lose money in as insurance when I can do the proper analysis and determine where to invest.
While the European Central Bank tried to claim that it had NOT run out of ammo announcing an emergency bond-buying program worth €750 billion euros, all this does is keep the government on life-support. The greatest risk at this time is to dump money into government debt. Even gold has not proven to be a better option in the long term as hedge funds have lost so much money in other areas, they have been forced to liquidate gold simply to raise cash.
This Keynesian Model of lowering interest rates has completely failed and it has acted counter-trend to how the capital functions in a panic – the top priority becomes credit risk. The closer the yield of fixed moves toward zero, the more negatively skewed bonds become. Bonds have simply become a tremendous risk for they are becoming not a place to hide, but a place to obtain a guaranteed loss. The risk of negative-yielding debt is that their prices will collapse 20%-60% as capital in the free market looks at credit risk and what level of return is necessary to prevent hoarding of cash.
I detest Govts and all these wall street, city of london Brussels EU banksters and crime syndicates !!. With this global currency/bond crisis I am protecting myself and yes those like me will do well, because we understand what is going on. Govts don't want a truly educated population and they sure as hell are not going to ever come out and tell the truth , for there guaranteed will be revolutions with politicians bankers hanging from light poles. , BUT these are the facts of what is happening.
If you can exchange your savage for USD i would highly recommend you look into it.
I highly suggest get as much cash USD in hand as you can ….and when the USD bonds cash , which i think will be next year , after europe etc have crashed… make sure you have gold in hand… hat i think will happen is the establishment will print massively use one last time destroyed all public confidence as they front run what ever is left ….. and then it will be digital currency , total surveillance or revolution ..either way we are facing the end of this quantitive monetary ponzy and what ever will be the next . Govts and their militarized scum are coming
Yes, it is, Paper price is and will diverge massively though . What you hold is what you will have. Being paid out in digs dollars wont translate when it counts, thats only to try and stop panic . Cash in USD and Gold coins are best as they are recognized . But when the US bond short term rates begin to rise, then it will be too late to exit USD . I wouldn't hold USD past jan next year
I think so (Trump will still be next president. ) too. My concerns are marshal law .( IMHO , I think this a "sort of " dry run for next seasons fully blown virus that will be used for the currency/bond crisis . I am just voicing my thoughts and concerns and I think all of us appreciate feedback , as i sure do. I look at the daily Feds Repo actions !! Jezz!!! Why is Trump not even mentoning it !? (and yes i am a constitutionalist . I dont like either party ) , however , this is the first time that i am truly preparing big time to get the hell away from what i see coming at us very fast. Its evident to me that hedge funds etc are liquidating what ever they can to try and cover margins !! Gold silver of course !! I think RE will take a massive hit . It has to ! as small business's go under . And banks are not passing in low rates . I am looking at buying property (productive property in southern Italy) 1. because I like the culture, food etc and I like the fact I can relax far away from Cities . Its also close to Ukraine where I like the beautiful women. I also think that with the Euro crashing down past parity , that export businesss if set up right in say Lietebstein will be a good business with currency differentials. I have moved out of California , sold the house six months ago and at present am in North Carolina . I think its one of the best places , cheap productive land, lots of water, and big money is buying ,building bolt holes here…. I am in USD cash and Gold , silver … My thoughts are which areas i like to live a good life , what cultures i like and what areas i think have upside. I truly do not see America as having an upside (sure some States) , but i see secession coming and civil war . Good as the entire west coast is commo and loaded with insanity, bankruptcy, welfare breeders and growing violence. I think that places like Ukraine have upside, intelligent motivated people who hate socialism , It inly has upside so is undervalued , Sure you mat have to use "natural law" , but its far more productive and honest than this BS corrupt system where the justice system is totally broken…I also cannot take the feminist freaks here or these emasculated turds ….
Europe has directed bullion dealers not to sell to individuals. You will probably see next week a proposal floated that asks Europeans to turn in their gold and convert it to digital under the claim this is patriotic. There are growing fears in Europe that they will cancel the paper currency and force everyone to go digital. This is why there have been runs on banks in the USA for cash dollars in New York, not for fear that the bank will fail, but a panic to get out of Euros.
There is a rumor that is spreading that Europe will confiscate gold as Roosevelt did, but not to back the currency with gold, but to force all wealth into a digital currency. This would be a game-changer in Europe. I do not see this unfolding outside of the Eurozone. Keep in mind that Europeans are very familiar with canceling currencies. It is ONLY the paper currency which is canceled – not the Euro itself. That is routine in Europe to force people who have the cash to declare it and pay taxes or lose everything. They cannot cancel US dollars, but they have been imposing stricter regulations on gold for the past two years. As I have said, never let a good crisis go to waste. I believe you may start to see this idea floated in the press next week. It will probably be voluntary at first. I do not believe they will outlaw it on the first go. Longer-term, it just becomes very difficult. The Swiss began numbered accounts because Hitler outlawed having any account in a foreign country. The Swiss now ask the EU how high should they jump. They are no longer the safe haven they once were. So Swiss accounts will no longer be an option. The only option is the USA since it is not part of their reporting agreement.
Even New Zealand is part of the order where banks must report $10,000 in cash transactions. Australia has made it a criminal act to pay for anything in $10,000 in cash. The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is an information standard for the automatic exchange of tax and financial information on a global level. It was put together by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) back in 2014. Its purpose was to hunt down tax evasion primarily for the European Union. They took the concept from the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which imposed liabilities on foreign institutions if they did not report what Americans were doing outside the country.
The legal basis of the CRS is the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters. As of 2016, 83 countries had signed an agreement to implement it. First reporting took place in September 2017. The CRS has many loopholes for countries have to sign the agreement. This has omitted the United States as well as most developing countries. Note that countries that are included are China, Singapore, Switzerland, most tax havens and of course Australian/New Zealand as well as Canada.
As of 2018, the signing nations to avoid are:
Albania, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Australia, Austria, The Bahamas, Bahrain, Belize, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, China, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Marshall Islands, Macao (China), Malaysia, Mauritius, Monaco, Nauru, New Zealand, Pakistan, Panama, Qatar, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Samoa, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sint Maarten, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Vanuatu
Thanks well we all have to imho try to help those of us who are awake and those learning about what is going on. There is going to be massive panic.Its all common sense. .I don't know if I am that same person . From where were you talking ??I recommend getting the hell out of the Euro , Aussie, NZD and converting to USD , Cash in hand . Don't worry about the gyrations in Gold Silver as hedge funds , banks etc are liquidating whatever they can to try and stay afloat, covering their carry trades, bank swaps, and leveraged off shore loans in USD. This has only just begun and its will accelerate as the USD rises . If you want to make more , rather than relaxing, with your USD and Gold at home , leverage short the Euro, Leverage long the USD (very simple trades ) and don't stress over those currency gyrations (as its only Govts and BIG institutions, CBs and the Fed in particular using the Repo to try and stem the trend and trying to calm the panic .The market is FAR too big for any of these institutions to keep using quantitive money Repo to try and save their negative rate BS !!! The panic will come and that is when only real assets. Gold in hand etc , productive land (not over priced RE) will skyrocket . You only need check the mail Fed Repo BS going on. https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/domestic-market-operations/monetary-policy-implementation/repo-reverse-repo-agreements/repurchase-agreement-operational-details
This is only what we know of (and few people read this anyway) The fed has to legally make some, SOME of their Bailouts "public", guaranteed its far FAR worse. And the facts are they cannot stop because the yield curve reversed over six months ago !!!They can no longer control long rates or short term rates !!! . This will keep going until the masses panic and then rates will skyrocket . This is when pensions and Govt promises completely go under. This is why this COVID-19-19(infuenza-A) has been engineered as the scapegoat . Govts will NEVER come out and tell the public what is going on, Whether its Trump , Como Bernie , Senile Biden , Criminal Clintons etc , they only react . All common sense . IMHO get far far away from Cities . You have time , but this is coming at us fast . This is the Endgame of this quantitive Monterey Keynesian ponzi scheme . Read the second amendment .
The name is a character out of "Atlas Shrugged ". If you haven't read the book , I think you would like it.
A far better book, though , I highly recommend and wish everyone would read is : https://www.amazon.com/Cra-hmaker-Federal-Affaire-Novel/dp/0967175909
Yes. it looks like it was engineered in the States . The answer can only come from finding patient "zero" , which when Trump and co were asked , they got very very defensive . (BTW I am not a liberal or Repub). more of a librarian nationalist constitutionalist but in fact the Articles of Confederation with strong states rights without the open borders and an honest Monterey system . Of course the Fed is the problem but now we have a far far bigger problem world federalization with digi currency backed by SDRs and carbon bullshit taxes , which are an absolute full spectrum dominance takeover weapon !! I see the breakup of states . The lib/commo states will break away . China/Asia are not really the problem, the US Govt are .
"When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader" - Plato
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has first destroyed itself from within. The essential cause of Rome's decline lay in her people and her morals."
As the Roman Empire rose to greatness, it no doubt assumed that its power would last for centuries to come. But even while its citizens were living in prosperity, the empire was crumbling from the inside. You will find this true of any civilization that has ultimately collapsed or has been overcome by a foreign power. It first fell apart on the inside. The landscape of history is strewn with the remains of once-great nations that let moral decay from within bring them to ruin. The same has already happened in America today as moral,intellectual and bodily decay continue the rapid collapse Economically,morally and culturally as its apathetic, cowardly and intellectually brainwashed and vacuum dried populous are fed the bread & circuses ,whilst corruption sucks the last vestige of wealth and morality out of the corpse.

I saw the same thing in Venezuela when Chavez was in place back in 2011 when I lived there. He controlled the people by stockpiling food & products in warehouses, keeping stores empty, allowing food to rot in order to CONTROL the people. Think about that....Be your own grocery store. Grow your own food. Chickens, veggies, fruits, Bees for honey, goats.
Good morning. Speaking of banks, I went to my credit union yesterday. I asked questions. The teller told me effective today that The lobby would be closed but the drive thru and the atm is available.

Sudden business downturn
Within 1 week , my successful restaurant business of 60 years is literally financially SLAUGHTERED along with ALL employees that survive paycheck to paycheck . We currently have ZERO income .

IMF XRP Central Banks
"Let's go back to our pizza, hopefully by then, it's still warm.. when you buy it at the click of a button, your bank transfers funds to digital currency held at the central bank. In turn, the central bank immediately forwards it to the supermarket's bank which would credit the supermarket's accounts. All of that in a split of a second, all nearly for free and anytime. Do you see what just happened? The central bank is now the trusted intermediary"
What Lagarde is conveying is that the central bank is the trusted intermediary, not your personal bank. This would then hold true for domestic as well as international payments since the example she provided us with was a domestic purchase of a pizza. All payments would thus be routed through the central banks, where the money is held, as she stated. She also mentioned how commercial banks may not provide the required safety, because of their profit-driven nature, with this quote:
"Private firms may underinvest in security, to the extent that they do not measure the full cost to society of a payment failure. Resilience may also suffer, with only a few links in the payment chains, the system may stop working if any of the links actually is deteriorating, if there is a glitch, a bankruptcy, or a firm withdraws from the market"
Lagarde also discusses how we are moving towards a cashless society and how to achieve the middle ground between cash-less payments and privacy.
"Let's return to the trade-off between privacy and financial integrity. Can we find the middle ground? Central banks might design digital currencies so that users' identities will be authenticated through customer due diligence procedures and transactions recorded. But the identities would not be disclosed to either third parties or governments unless it was so required by law."

20Mar20 Economic news
in the UK they just announced the government will pay everybody's wage (80%, maximum £2500), which will essentially be funded by the BOE QE. People getting paid to do nothing with printed money while production craters means prices for basic goods are going to skyrocket and/or run out.
they will not take over your business because this is an election year. After the election then you gotta worry. Also since this is an election year they are not using the military to handle the public, instead they are giving us all a big dose of financial morphine to keep us happy till after the election then the tanks will be in the streets and no more money hand out. Enjoy the last 8 months of this financial morphine induced fog. Hell awaits.
Glasgow Scotland, can confirm ABM who contract staff for large retail centres have implemented mass lay offs, me included without pay for three months or until further notice.
I just got the lay-off notice today. I had been with the same company for 25 years. Shock doesn't even cover what I am feeling right now. Disgust is more like it. - (General business environment. Loss of business.)
So.... The Government is now letting banks loan money without regard to reserve ratios.... Which means a loan frenzy that will NEVER get paid back, foreclosing on ALL.... AND... They're going to give out 1.3 trillion to the people, who by the way, have nowhere to spend it, AND I bet it's going to be via "direct deposit" which is going to give the banks ALL THE LIQUIDITY they need to BUY all the assets for pennies on the dollar... But "we're being saved right"? What an ingenious way to "Bail Out" the banks using "We The People" and dumb ass U.S. Citizens fall for it AGAIN!
Hi Brad, Nowhere is good at present, hold your cash but in your hand as much as is possible, wife went to ANZ Bank today to withdraw another $5k cash & was told new rules will not allow her to do so shortly. We have been travelling Oz for last 4 x mths & taking out money as we go & soon that opportunity will be closed as money in the Bank is at risk. In the present I bought $250k of Gold last night from Ainslie Gold / Sydney online / paid $2568 / ounce in what they call an Unallocated Fund ... look it up ... rest that I have bought last few years which is over one big one is held in private vault no Bank vault. Just finished lunch & now will go to a ATM & both take another $1k each / daily limit at the moment ... I hold well over a years wages on cash presently (large amount) as been doing this for some time now, able to help kids & friends if need be ... Gold now $2645 but still cheap for what is coming.
People won't say it but I reckon it will double plus sooner than people think ... Plus it is way way safer in Gold than any Bank account ... it it's a million terrific go for it / doesn't matter amount but it will be safe in physical Gold
I have commented a few times before as a semi retired economist & businessman, I say again you are articulating the situation almost perfectly.
You are doing a great service in educating people "THAT" want to learn & listen Bravo Peter keep up the great work.
Like you I have pre planned & hold cash & Gold etc / physical only.
Your boat is only going to get cheaper lol.
We are no where near the bottom (Globally) nor will we be for many months / Recession is here !! Globally but it will morph into a Depression without any doubt.
As to wage and price controls. After the debacle of the 70's did you notice how list prices of most items are not actually what things sell for? If we have wage and price controls the companies will be able to sell at up to their list prices.... But wages won't rise... So another venue for inflation during the control period.

Govt pension & Subsidy effect
You asked Bill if there had been a "give you cash program" in the US. He said no. But I respectfully differ. I received (and I think everyone else did) a check for 600 USD,, I think that was 04 or 06 (thereabouts). What is the effect? Well, if you go shopping, it creates demand and thus raises prices. If you don't shop and deposit it instead, that allows the banks to create more based on there reserves- effectively diluting your purch.power. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. They've got you either way.
Jobs
work in the industry of moving Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines from U.K. to the south France to the Airbus Factory that has just told its staff that they will close for 6 weeks from Friday so no transport needed, no planes needed and no Engines and no parts for the above, this industry is going away, that is a lot of people that won't be getting paid. The shareholders are selling their stock and that will be it!
Cash at Bank
I went to the Atm at Wells Fargo this morning and all ATMs looked weird on the screens. They required a "special access code" not the pin number.
That was enough for me. I went inside and took everything. Three banksters in suits were watching over the tellers like Hawks. The banksters seemed nervous.

Spain and France announce sweeping restrictions
I live in Spain, they imposed a 14 days lock down officially yesterday no one is technically allowed to go out on the streets unless its an absolute necessity, all bars,restaurants, basic stores (apart from supermarkets) are closed. Public transport is cut to half. Some highways are closed and some under heavy control. basically one cant travel. You see few people walking their dogs but that about it.
My family lives in Madrid. I lived there for 10 years and now live in FL. The hospitals are currently saturated with people of all ages that are dying. They were 1 week behind Italy and now we'll be 1-2 weeks behind them. Don't be a fool and let your ego get the best of you. Doctors and nurses on the front line are begging us to prepare for the worse. I have friends that I went to school with telling me about how people are dying in front of their very eyes and they can't do jack shit about it.

Hi, I live in Spain, Alicante provence and we are now on lockdown. The last few days has seen people buying anything and everything from the shops, which is crazy. We can still walk our dogs, but we can't walk to the shops or just go for a walk. Cycling is also banned. We have average daytime temperatures of 25c-32c so it's warm and sunny. You still hear cars driving passed my villa so people are still out and about. On friday when the announced the lockdown, 1000's of Spanish people that live in Madrid decided to head to the coast (where I live) and go to their summer apartments as Madrid was on lockdown. These idiots should have been stopped as they are the ones spreading the virus. If people stay where they are they will be ok. The businesses here are all shut down except supermarkets, petrol stations, but everything else is closed. My friend is a pit boss at a local casino and he called me yesterday to say they were all fired on friday night as the owners don't expect the casino to re-open any time soon. There are 1000's of businesses that are shut and they have no way of paying staff or paying bills so where does that leave your average person that relies on their job to feed their family. Even when this crisis is over in Spain, it will still be going on across europe so there will be no tourists coming here. In effect, Spain has now unofficially been declared bankrupt. No income, no way to support itself and no future. This is whats coming your way very soon so get ready as this shit is real ...

Gold Price
It's easy to see how the new floor for gold could become $2K an ounce, with this recession -- things are just warming up. Wait until the layoffs with nobody hiring, slow down in the economy, slowdown in the housing market, S&P drops 40-50%, debt obligations to start failing, and banks freeze up again. With the last recession gold was 1K before virtually anyone even thought about buying it. Then it 1K became the new "bargain". I think that's going to happen again, but with 2K becoming the new "low" price. And although it's shot up recently, I'd say it's now or never, if you haven't bought yet.

Coffee
Via Robin Cendrecourt: 1. Caffeine is an alkaloid that the coffee plant uses to kill bugs, which eat its' seeds.
The coffee plant also uses caffeine in the coffee pods to kill surrounding plants, so the coffee plant can attain more sunlight and grow larger. Caffeine is a pesticide, which causes genetic termination in living cells that come into contact with it.
2. MRI images taken before and after 1 cup of coffee showed a decrease in blood flow to the brain by 45%. When the blood flow reduction was measured exactly, it was actually 52% less blood flow to the brain, after just one small cup of coffee.
3. Brain imaging studies of chronic coffee drinkers showed they presented the same degradation of their brains as chronic alcoholics, cigarette smokers, Parkinson's patients and marijuana users.
4. Coffee can cause an urge to move ones' bowels because this is one way the body tries to eliminate poison from the system. The sudden urge to "poo" after drinking coffee is one of the body's defense mechanisms to poison.
5. Coffee increases energy via the human fight or flight metabolic response, because the body is afraid of the caffeine based poison. Coffee doesn't give energy, it removes it from the body.
The energy a person feels when they drink coffee is the body going into overdrive because caffeine is a poison and all poisons activate an energy release in the body. (fight or flight)
Coffee removes energy from the system, leaving the person progressively more and more exhausted each day that passes, therefore setting up the world's most dangerous energy stimulation addiction... coffee dependence for energy.
6. When the fight or flight response is triggered in the body, the lower IQ centers of the brain are activated as well as hormonal systems in control of aggression, violence, irrational and illogical decision making, jealousy, rage, anger, fear and paranoia.
Coffee generates lower end mental functioning with a side of every negative emotional response the body can generate.
7. When measured, 1 coffee activated the fight and flight response for 3 consecutive weeks, even though no other caffeine was consumed after that 1 cup of coffee. One cup of coffee poisons the body for 3 consecutive weeks, on a decreasing scale.
8. When coffee (caffeine) is consumed, the limbic part of the brain is hyper activated and the higher learning centers of the mind inhibited. The limbic part of the brain is only concerned with sex, reproduction, protection of territory, food acquisition and personal safety.
The limbic portion of the brain is the most primitive and least developed portion of the mind complex. When you want to out smart or dominate another person, it's best that their limbic system is activated, because it brings them to a mental state equal to that of a child.
9. The birth control pill inhibits clearing of ingested caffeine. This effect is increased dramatically by alcohol or pain killer use, therefore causing many cases of caffeine poisoning, which get treated as other things once the person reaches the hospital.
10. Coffee is proven to cause an enlarged prostate, high anxiety, insomnia, depression, birth defects, pain syndromes, unnatural breathing patterns, brain damage, hyperactivity, learning disorders (from the brain damage) behavior disorders, fatigue, certain types of cancer, Crohns, IBS, colitis, carpel tunnel, ulcers, low iron, heart disease, headaches, PMS, increased incidence of muscle and tendon injury, joint pain, heart attack, stroke,TIA's (mini strokes)… and that's a short list.
11. Coffee causes fat gain and cellulite because by triggering the body's flight or fight system (which any poison or threat does). This eventually changes the body's primary fuel source requirement to one of fat.
When the body is threatened, it prefers fat as its' primary fuel source, over sugar or protein.
Constant activation of the body's fight or flight system (via the daily ingestion of caffeine poison) aids in a metabolic shift to fat storage and fat conservation, because again the body prefers fat as a fuel source when fighting any toxic intruder… because fat contains 9 calories per gram for the fight, as opposed to 4 calories per gram housed by sugar and protein.
Welcome to the land of coffee (caffeine) induced fat gain, weight gain and cellulite. Coffee also destroys muscle, as the body purposely flushes muscle, when it's poisoned, to facilitate additional fat storage.
12. Coffee (caffeine) blocks iron absorption, causing the vast majority of anemia today. The entire threat of caffeine in general includes caffeine teas, chocolates, caffeine based energy drinks, caffeine based pre work out drinks and over 2000 over the counter and prescription medications that PURPOSELY include caffeine.
13. An investigation conducted by the author of the most extensive book on coffee ever written, reviewed almost every scientific research piece regarding coffee and his conclusion was that there's absolutely no scientific evidence what so ever that coffee provides any health benefits to the human body, on any level, in anyway.
He openly declares that any positive promotion of coffee consumption is a blatant lie, doing grave harm to our entire society. The publication of any positive effects of coffee are false and all can be traced back to a very powerful, covert and secret "coffee lobby", which has both commercial and ruling family oligarchy
The coffee plant also uses caffeine in the coffee pods to kill surrounding plants, so the coffee plant can attain more sunlight and grow larger. Caffeine is a pesticide, which causes genetic termination in living cells that come into contact with it.
2. MRI images taken before and after 1 cup of coffee showed a decrease in blood flow to the brain by 45%. When the blood flow reduction was measured exactly, it was actually 52% less blood flow to the brain, after just one small cup of coffee.
3. Brain imaging studies of chronic coffee drinkers showed they presented the same degradation of their brains as chronic alcoholics, cigarette smokers, Parkinson's patients and marijuana users.
4. Coffee can cause an urge to move ones' bowels because this is one way the body tries to eliminate poison from the system. The sudden urge to "poo" after drinking coffee is one of the body's defense mechanisms to poison.
5. Coffee increases energy via the human fight or flight metabolic response, because the body is afraid of the caffeine based poison. Coffee doesn't give energy, it removes it from the body.
The energy a person feels when they drink coffee is the body going into overdrive because caffeine is a poison and all poisons activate an energy release in the body. (fight or flight)
Coffee removes energy from the system, leaving the person progressively more and more exhausted each day that passes, therefore setting up the world's most dangerous energy stimulation addiction... coffee dependence for energy.
6. When the fight or flight response is triggered in the body, the lower IQ centers of the brain are activated as well as hormonal systems in control of aggression, violence, irrational and illogical decision making, jealousy, rage, anger, fear and paranoia.
Coffee generates lower end mental functioning with a side of every negative emotional response the body can generate.

5G
I've just been internet investigating about 5G locations in Italy vs virus outbreaks. The Lombardy area ( industrialised ) is the heaviest hit. It also has the most 5G network coverage. There does appear to be striking coincidences with the virus and 5G locations. However individual case studies seem to show a correlation of those with the "infection" had recent contact with someone from China.
I would like to put forward the idea that perhaps both are true. There is a virus going around ( possible not the type we are being told about ) that when in combination with 60GH produces deaths. Maybe the virus was specifically designed to work in combination with 60GH wavelengths.
