Robbing the pension funds, crypto edition.

I believe it is important to beat the drum on The Atlantic piece begging for amnesty. Here’s why: It goes along with the Mass Formation Psychosis excuse. Eventually, the meme that somehow, somewhere a US Court is going to find that Pfizer defrauded the US Government and therefore will face huge liability will collapse. Nothing will happen. Meanwhile, and I hope I am wrong on this, the consequences of the products being used will be so great that they (Pharma and government) are afraid of a people who believe that the standard avenues to obtain justice have been blocked, i.e. French Revolution. In other words, the population passively waiting for someone to “get justice” via the US courts are going to be let down. The argument for amnesty seems to be a desperate admission: “Look, we aren’t going to apologize, we aren’t going to admit wrongdoing, but we did it all for the right reasons….so let’s move on. Oh, look over there!” If The Atlantic is a project of AbbVie, then we have a pharmaceutical company saying this.
You don’t need to keep the commentary going on Emily Oster’s puff piece in The Atlantic. The Atlantic is a project of AbbVie, a large pharmaceutical company. Embedded in a covering of irritating fluff is the key sentence, probably inserted by an editor saying that we must put all our effort into getting children vaccinated.
This happened today during the Emergency Act Commission in Ottawa (the Canadian Act that was invoked by Trudeau to shut down the Trucker Convoy). The person is one of the lawyers involved in the Commission. Unbelievable.

You beat me to it!
INSTANT ANALYSIS: be warned that the media is all alight with the landslide victory of incumbent Ron DeSantis in Florida. This is not because the media wants Ron DeSantis to be president. This is because they wish to foment strife between he and their bête noir, Donald Trump. Don’t take the bait. The only path forward for America is some sort of coalition between these two for 2024.
PS. Glad we could suspend imminent nuclear war while we practiced democracy?
Hello Catherine,
Could you please elaborate which option do you think is better for the future of the whole world: current unipolar system maybe with more transparency or multipolar system which is trying to emerge? Or something completely different and transparent? I know that this is a very simplified question, but I hope it makes sense to you. I would really like to hear you thoughts and reasoning on that.
Thank you in advance, kind regards, Tea
Came across this newly released paper on CBDC and “Monetary Policy Passthrough” from the BIS and thought of John Titus.

There’s just too many points in this 40 page paper to draw attention to here but the thought how a new digital banking system will function seems to be more fleshed out than ever. Wacky stuff.
Keep up the good work/fight. Much love, Mike.
