1. I have taken a few days off from commenting, to contemplate and few things occur that I thought I would remark upon:

   1) Back in the fall, I and a number of forum members sensed that something big was going to happen, that desperation among our enemies was spilling out everywhere.

   2) Catherine has been advocating “three months of stores” all along, and most who took heed were well ahead of the curve in preparations, which to me is only common sense, even in peacetime, when power outages and storms can disrupt supply chains, and visitors may arrive without notice.

   3) I was initially disappointed that Trump announced the $2 Trillion relief package, then outraged to know that Democrats wouldn’t go along without pork-barrel inclusions. Subsequently, I realized that what is being signaled is not necessarily back-sliding by the president, but essentially the kind of closing move that is equivalent to a two-out suicide-squeeze, an onsides kick, a deliberately missed free-throw—just what must be done, despite poor odds, to secure the game. This ties into closely with item 1), above. Even though this new debt, piled atop the mountain we already have seems ludicrously high, is a demonstration of the severity of the situation, which wasn’t as we might have initially thought–a dress-rehearsal for something else. Again, we must view Trump as Moses–flawed, but the right guy for leading the exodus. I understand that this is not necessarily a widely held view, even in these pages.

   4) Joseph and Daniel Liszt repeatedly remarked about various historical Deep State schemes to bring us down that have failed, and from those, one can reasonably conclude that TPTB are mere mortals, unable to overcome the inherent, spiritual determination of we eternal beings. Probably they could physically kill all of us relatively easily, but as has been discussed previously, their scheme is to co-opt our souls and ride them, they imagine, across the divide to a Valhalla they (probably erroneously) conceive.

   5) Much as I could not have in the fall given the day or hour, or even nature of the event, I now sense that the pandemic game is over and we have risen to the challenge. I do not mean to say that the danger is passed for individuals or communities, but I think this may have been equivalent to The Battle of The Bulge, the last big push by the enemy. The awful detailing of The Peace is still ahead, and that includes what retributions may be meted out.

   I continue to urge vigilance and prudence until long after the “all clear” siren is sounded. In addition to more sophisticated enemies, banksters, miscreants and common criminals will attempt to prey upon the unwary whose guards are too easily dropped.

   1. Just Lol, “I was intially disappoted with trumps 2 trmps 2 trillion.

      Dude mnuchin is going to leverage that 10x threw the treasury…Did u read the bill or not? It’s 6.2 trillion.

      This is a new world, a new normal. A hyper deregulated neoliberalism of the old industrial age.

      Trump had 9 CEOs on the podium tonight. can you really not connect the dots?

      A free for all, I am all for it.

      If you think the forced shutdown of small business(compeition) or the police outside costco/whole foods is going away you are foolish as a prole

2. Massive social unrest. The 1200$ check only goes to tax payers.

   They could have chose riots in 08, instead they chose much bigger riots now.

   The Depression is on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohEl7ZhP__U

   These we’re posted today.

3. Is there a possibility they’re getting the hospital supplies/buildings/recalling military vets/FEMA ready for either retaliatory nuclear/weapon strike on America soil and/or total economic collapse and mass protests?

   The looting and pillaging is astounding

   “It means that Mnuchin is transforming the US Treasury into a hedge fund. That’s what it means. It means that the Treasury is going to use the $450 billion that is obliquely allocated in the emergency bill, to create a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)–which is a sleazy, off-balance sheet operation that is used to conceal underhanded bookkeeping, that will leverage up by 10x (which means that the Fed will use the $450 billion to borrow tens times more than the original amount or $4.5 trillion) that will be stealthily used to bail out underwater corporations, financial institutions and, yes, banks. (Note–The fairy-tale about “well capitalized banks” is pure bunkum. These guys have serious exposure through “sponsored repo” which is lending to hedge funds via the repo market.) The Fed has already created one SPV for the Commercial Paper market under the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) which is supposed to be used to mitigate volatility in global currency markets, not for bailing out failing corporations. It’s a complete misuse of funds. Unfortunately, targeted suspension of the Sunshine Act will prevent the public from figuring out who is getting money in what amount and for what purpose. This whole scam has been carefully worked out right down to legal provisions preventing transparency.”

4. Hoping this may be more good news today, from Del Bigtree, stating that some of the modeling of fatalities have been refigured, and are not as daunting:

5. China just closed the borders to all foreign residents. This is the third month since the Great foreigner exodus /in SH about 80% of international school kids went abroad – assume as did their parents/. Who is running all of those foreign – local JV factories, or wholly owned foreign enterprises? The locals. As much as you will see a reshoring of some factories, esp. in critical industries like pharma/medical, I believe you will see a similar push for renationalizing foreign factories within China. From the Chinese point of view, why wait 3-5 years for foreign companies to make their arrangements to move production out of China? Why not take over the facilities, at firesale prices, and capture the global market share before MNCs can start operations? You’re already seeing face mask diplomacy in play. Real power resides in control of physical things – natural resources, land, manufacturing – always has, always will. You can have sophisticated software to manage logistics, just in time automated warehouses and virtual platforms, but in the end it’s still some guy/gal on the other side of the world who decides whether to fulfill the order or not.

   1. If the Chinese seize all of the foreign assets in China, then I will expect the US to something similar. And then there is no doubt we will be at war. One Danger is emp – commercial planes falling from the skies.

      1. yes, well the question is, is there a war now or not? if it happened, it would be a slow bleed, lots of red tape, done on the enforcement / regulatory side, not on the government front page news side. difficulty exporting / licensing / selling domestically. difficulty in getting visas /if all Chinese visas were cancelled, it means everyone has to reapply and be approved denovo/. the Chinese are patient and don’t need to make big announcements. foreign cos. already have difficulty to get money out of China. a factory that isn’t running is a legal liability, and it’s worthwhile to give it away for free just to walk away.

         big protest in hubei as they tried to open up Wuhan and rising anti foreign sentiment as the virus is being portrayed as reintroduced back into local population by infected foreigners. US news says 90% of infections are from returning chinese, asian news says 80% are from foreigners. 10,000 foreigners in home quarantine just in pudong side of shanghai,it proved be too much to manage so now anyone returning must go to a government facility for two weeks. respread in Shanghai is very possible if incubation period is over 14 days. if more infections happen as the country goes back to work, foreigners will be an obvious scapegoat. we had it handled before they came back in!

         face mask /protectove medical equipment diplomacy at play as european exports are prioritized and US is not. many companies are trans shipping through Europe now – half stays in EU, the other half goes to new York.

         hope it all passes as the virus dies down but the world will certainly be different on the other side.

         god bless us all!!

      2. China would care about losing 500 million people either. They’d take over Australia and lots of SouthAmerica too. I don’t think a few factories are worth it.

6. Incremental.

   That is the watch word with this Covid Beatdown (whereas 9/11 had the initial shock first – this time it is happening in reverse).

   1) The judge of Dallas County says there will be National Guard on the streets “Not for martial law but for medical reasons.” My question is ‘What is bring planned that will require pre-positioning the Guard on Main Street?

   2) California has effectively shut down the real estate sector. NO showings, heavy penalties for ‘violators’ (people needing to earn a living) & that moron governor publicly saying that people should NOT buy or list homes during this time of (artificial) crisis. 250,000 real estate agents (citizens, parents, people) actively being out out of work.

   3). Producers being pushed into the criminal category for needing to earn a living and support themselves. Fines & jail time!!

   4). There just happens to be an app whereby you can report violators to the ‘authorities’. Mmmm …. Let that one sink in!

   What will be the next escalation?

   1. Looks like the entire stock/housing market is set to Impload. Meaning everyone will lose everything. It’s a monetary “reset”.

      Their preparing for massive, I mean Massive social unrest. Something to make yellow vest/Hong Kong look like Sunday brunch.

      It’s a Deflationary Bust. That’s my best bet.

      Lets see
      Trump:
      Corporate Tax Cut+corporate Stock By back equal to Roaring 20s+peid piper everyone into stock market+military kaynasium spending+deregulation
      Be friend police/military.
      Loot the entire country and lock it down.
      The end?

      1. I Read this this morning. It makes sense to me.

         Summary-
         Monetary keynasium is done. People/hedge funds believe that bonds protect them from equity decline, or even gold/silver. All that is breaking down. In reality only cash matters. Who has Cash?
         Buffet-120b dry powder
         Private Equity 2.5 trillion
         Banks-Capitalized unlimited FED spigot
         21++Trillion global

         Who doesn’t have cash? 99% of people have their “worth” tied up in house/401ks

         ” This is an engineered crisis. The entire thing has been insanely blown out of proportion used to cover up the global currency/bond 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 the 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.

         1. Yup. Dollar bear trap working. Cut and run printing working. Slam down small business and income working. Next will come us $21 Trillion + $29 Trillion + $6 Trillion (and counting) to buy up all the land and real estate cheap and introduce all digital currencies, mind control with breakthrough energy. With the chip in the brain they intend humans to be slaves and fully integrated with robots in slavery system. Transhumanism is a very dark vision. That is why I keep saying, death is not the worst thing that can happen here. This is pushback time.

      2. Well that is one scenario, but there are many others. Slavery with a chip in the body is the end. That is what must be stopped. At the same time promoting a vision of hopelessnes helps the pro-centralization team. Is that what you want to do? I think not. I believe the Midianite thing will throw this in unusual directions. So we must be creative and help it along.

         1. I found looking at the story of Nehemiah again to be very relevant. Gave a refreshing perspective.

         2. The goal of the dark state is to convince people to accept being merge with machines & AI and feel fortunate they have. It has to be done willingly by those who choose to become digital, they have to embrace it. Evil needs the mind first before getting the soul.

            1. Yup. Mr. Global has told Musk and Gates that they better make the Mark of the Beast fashionable or else. Check out the latest poster.

7. Potential Generational warfare Psyop.

   Why on earth would the LT. Gov say that?
   Corna:
   1) Scare/Isolate the elderly
   2) Bankrupt/Layoff Majority of younger folks by intentionally crashing main street economy+ Go to Zero rates to deplete elders savings+Force minimum distribution plans in stimulus package.
   3) Use later as a battling ram against SS/Med

   1. The two groups that could engineer a real positive change are young and old working together. Young people have the desire and energy. Old people have the knowledge and experience and some have capital – and many want to leave a world better for the young people. They are both risk takes relative to the folks in the middle. Got to keep them turned against each other and apart. Top guys are terrified by the possibility that they will start teaching and helping each other.

   2. Considering trumps trying to push indexing capital gains tax to inflation. I think their going to paper over majority of elders savings/SS.
      Looks like the DOW may go up forever now.

      Sick world.
