“Driving through New Jersey, Nitze [asked] Dillon if he thought the market decline an omen of hard times ahead . . . . Dillon thought for a few minutes and replied, ‘I think it presages the end of an era.’ By this Dillon meant that what lay ahead was not merely a period of retrenchment, after which affairs would be conducted as before. Rather, the world was in for a major overhauling of institutions.”
~ Clarence Dillon and Paul Nitze in 1929

Our 1st Quarter 2020 Wrap Up web presentation is a work in progress that grows as we publish our weekly segments; Solari Report subscribers can access it the trends, stories, headlines, top videos and Trump Report Card for Part I at https://golocal.solari.com

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will discuss two documentaries written by Naomi Klein: The Shock Doctrine (2009), about the use of engineered economic and social shocks as a technique to centralize political and economic power, and The Take (2004), about efforts to rebuild the Argentinian economy after it was destroyed by shock and subsequent “piratization.” I will also discuss a series of documentaries and sources that describe economies in recent decades—Latin America, Russia, Cuba, Jamaica—that have gone through engineered shocks and sudden drops in resources and economic activities. What can they tell us about successful strategies to navigate a world in which GNPs are engineered to drop quickly by as much as 25% or more?

Post your questions and story suggestions for Money & Markets for this week here.

Talk to you Thursday!

  1. SKEWED NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DEATH COUNT IN ITALY

    Here’s something that James Corbett broadcasted at the beginning of April about the unusually high deaths in Italy, compared to the rest of the world:
    https://www.corbettreport.com/whats-up-with-the-italian-mortality-rate-questions-for-corbett-058/

    One of the the main points is that Italy’s policy of counting the dead is that the numbers reflect those people who died *with* the coronavirus not *from* the coronavirus. In other words, someone was counted as a “coronavirus death” even if that person had died of another pre-existing disease; they were counted as long as they were diagnosed with having the novel coronavirus.

    One of the main sources he cites is Off-Guardian.org, which states that “the five founders had all been censored on and/or banned from the Guardian’s ‘Comment is Free’ sections.”: https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/23/italy-only-12-of-covid19-deaths-list-covid19-as-cause/

    Any thoughts or comments? Can this be corroborated by other sources?

  2. Highly recommend listening to 4/10 interview Gary Holland on Rense -1st half of interview for detailed
    account of hospital money game. How hospitals labeling more persons as CV is major incentive
    because the hospital then gets full FED payment for all the tests, TX, bedcare, ect. Many hospitals were previously struggling. He gives allot of great stats on this. Also hospitals getting free equiptment now from Fed where previously a heavy (tax I think he said) for equitment. Kinda mind blowing.
    A piece of the puzzle discussed that I’ve heard no one else mention–yet profound.
    Also, I know people here that were hospitalized for Acute RS back in Nov. Dec. -very fishie stats all around.

    1. Great scene. It explains why I would not short the market at the time.

      1. Director Adam McKay said that when he met wall street guys who specialized in shorting the market he noticed what they all had in common was they all were in very poor physical health. Micheal Burry said that for the two years he had his short position he suffered from severe colon issues that cause him great pain. It completely resolved after he closed the hedge fund and has never returned.

        Great lesson for all of us in there.

      1. Thanks for the reply. I agree, he is full of shit. excusez le mot.

  5. Burnt the midnight oil, could not wait for listening but your 6 pm is midnight over here.

    Smell an OP in an OP’s book coming…..again! Not Joseph’s fault but those rulebook guys seem to have low imagination high sorcery input. More problematic will be the 15-year wait, dementia, sudden death and Gods knows what (lol).

  6. I can get that they want 5G for surveillance, but 5G itself causing health hazards>? doesn’t make sense. (well no more than 3g/4g). If i was using 5G as surveillance tool, i would make 5G as safe as possible to gain acceptability and at the same time explain the benefits to the sheeple, as in livestream direct video, on demand films etc.

  7. Looking forward to this chat. If this plandemic is a “test run” then the next one won’t be. It is shocking how all of a sudden 5G is being deployed with speed around my country since the lockdown.

    The technology is and creates health hazards. In other words, this technology doesn’t work one dimensional. It is getting more difficult to stay healthy and I am not looking forward to dodging sickness templates beaming down if they do another round of plandemic.

    I see power-hungry problem-reaction-solution freaks using technology that doesn’t work one dimensional. Basically, playing with toys of power they hardly know any outcome about. Indeed, what could go wrong with power-hungry fools?

    At forum borealis Al has an interview uploaded with Dr. John Apsley if you are a subscriber. Well worth the listen.

    I saw your interview with Greg Hunter, excellent by the way, but you look tired. You must be working tirelessly, please take care.

      1. Al on Forum Borealis downloads also posted 2 parts, “The Money Game”, discussing the money game and Covid19 a few days before Apsley.
