FWIW… making no claims about the veracity of this… but I can attest to the reality of structured remote viewing as a method of “seeing”. Dabbled with it years ago, and made my own hair stand up viewing a blind target, when I looked at my results vs the target.
I only occasionally mull through Rense.com… but ran across this earlier today… take or discard it as you see fit:

It was mentioned that Sweden has moved away from negative interest rates, it’s still not much better at 0%. Here’s a brief overview of how it looks from the ground for consumers in the world’s most modern country.
Most banks do not handle cash and neither do many shops. If you do find a bank that takes cash and try to deposit it, they will demand receipts. Cash deposits over $1,000 are by default considered laundered funds and generally denied. Most daily, private payments are handled over an app that is owned collectively by the large banks.
Mortgages are generally adjustable rate 1.5% with 15% down. Amortization down to 70% over 7.5 years, down to 50% over an additional 20 years. Then just interest payments. You can not walk away from a mortgage and bankruptcy is rarely allowed.
The rental market is completely disfunctional due to rent controls. A reform 15 years ago eliminated the subsidies that made the market somewhat feasible. Many of the few rental units coming to market are given to refugees by municipal governments. Most young people and people who need to relocate are pushed into buying property. There is a huge difference in price between big cities and the small towns that look like Appalachia with shuttered houses and factories.
If you go to the bank for a mortgage you are encouraged to “save” money with the bank and are given information about the dozens of mutual funds that they offer. Some index funds don’t even have fees, what could be better?
“No one” finds any of this strange, but a lot of people think the system has made them rich. The people left out are just deplorables who aren’t clever enough to get a job in Stockholm anyway. Oh, and they’re all racists! Heard it before?
Financial methadone. Kills the spirit, communication and mind. Some happy in a trance. Ugh.
It’s difficult to find like minded people because people can’t deal with any challenge to their trance.
I forgot to add that banks have increasingly been refusing loan repayment. If customers sell of an asset or receive a large amount of money and try to pay off their loan, the banks can consider the payment money laundering and refuse it. They usually demand documentation, but it is not always enough. This has been widely reported, but without any useful information. Can an economy function without good faith in business?
Ultimately no. If you have links reporting any of this, would love to post- whether English or Swedish.

Catherine….what better way to get rid of the elderly and the babies that are not “producing” for the communists(and the politically non-correct)of the world! What better way to produce bio-warfare viruses than to do it out in the open; and then try to finish off the rest of the non-comliant public with a vaccine loaded with God knows what else,..AND destroy the economy at the same time. There is someone with much money behind all this….not an accident, but it will affect all who buy and sell, and save and invest if it keeps up.
My understanding is that the annual flu kills babies and elderly, but this coronavirus just 60+. If this is the case, then as they did, their capital drops to their children and grandchildren and they stop drawing retirement benefits on the system if they have them. If you do not balance pension funds financially or by raising the eligible age, then you must balance it by hitting a wall or lower life expectancy. This is why I thought it was an emergency in the early 1990’s – we have to get government money on a positive ROI, we had to get the pension funds in balance for the boomers and we have to get boomer productivity up for globalization. In face, Hamilton’s transactions and tools proved to me that it could be done – with dramatic wealth creation.
That was when you could have turned the air craft carrier. We did not turn it – we bubbled the economy and sucked massive capital out. So now we hit the wall. Terror campaigns threatening pandemics and demanding experimental vaccines that override the Nuremberg principles is a marketing campaign designed to maintain control when you hit the wall.
If you look at the wealth that will be created by space investment and breakthrough energy it is dramatic. But the people in charge do not want to share it – particularly with people who are 60+. As I have said for many years, they took a look at trillions of boomer capital and said “Lets preserve it for space and the integration of new technology, and not waste it on nursing homes. “
