  2. Beautiful flawless presentation. I kinda miss the flaws though, it feels a bit less real now.
    On the Ask Catherine front, I have a sort of query I find hard to frame. I’m an outsider to the financial space, and I cannot figure out why
    P = G – T (or Corporate profits ~= Government Deficit )
    never gets discussed.

    1. Hmm…I like authentic. Not into slick. Appreciate the feedback.

      1. It’s like sitting across the table from you. 🙂
        FWIW, my take on Profits:
        year : Total Cap Tn : Deficit Bn : P/E
        2005 : $17Tn : $394Bn : 18
        2018 : $30Tn : $1044Bn : 22
        2020 : $43Tn : $3000Bn : 38
        The numbers are a bit flaky : I’m unsure what to make of the 2020 data.
        It seems that the Deficit has gone into Savings instead of Profits. As always I could be wrong, but my point is that nobody wants to know.

    1. That has likely been happening. Big investments were certainly made in China.

  5. The video image looks great. I had no idea OBS studio could do something like that.

    I have heard that FEMA has formed “zones” out of regions they previously defined (https://www.fema.gov/about/organization/regions). Regions 1, 3 and 4 are Zone 1, Regions 5, 6 and 8 are Zone 2, and the remaining regions, including where the BSL4 lab is going to be, form Zone 3. That seems like a strange zoning to me, but perhaps you can make sense of it. What is even more scary is that FEMA reportedly has a large number of contract job postings for experts in various fields in Zone 2 (surrounding the heartland) to address an incident that they anticipate will happen in the future but not sure when.

    Ever since I heard that mad cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease, etc were products of research at BSL4 labs, I have been wondering about the cause of the bird flu outbreaks. A couple of years ago, I had an opportunity to talk with an older man who was working on securing food supply contracts for the Tokyo Olympic Games. He said that 70% or so of chicken grown in Japan were purchased from Monsanto (I stopped buying meats and poultry in grocery stores and from regular butchers at that point), and he said that the farmers did not know why but for some reason, a higher percentage of Monsanto birds stayed alive (probably, despite feeding Monsanto feeds). Could Monsanto or its friends be causing flu outbreaks to create demand??

    Among the networks of people, many of whom I suspect are controlled opposition giving out hopium, are those who have said that the new currency would be backed by a basket of commodities (not just precious metals) and that the “white hats” have been replacing vaccines on market with saline solutions. Your comments made me wonder if they were truthful on these points.

    Almost everyone in Japan is asleep. The stupidity and the lack of knowledge of the Japanese is unbelievable, as is the lack of courageous people among those with wealth/power/status in this country. I recently moved domestically and in the new area, they won’t even let me opt out of smartmeters despite my sensitivity to the EMF. I never thought I’d dream of fleeing to Russia.

  6. Ok so insurance companies according to the broker haven’t priced in the virus.

    Great and telling info.

    But… have they priced in vaccinations in the premium? If not, does that mean the injections are not dangerous?

    Obviously it wouldn’t. but if we are looking for clues from insurance companies who really know how to price risk, it would be nice to see how and if premiums change.

    1. Absolutely. If you have feedback from the insurance industry, everyone, please post!

      1. I inquired with a 40,000 member PEO that manages our health care insurance – their response was that the government is requiring they cover all costs related to vaccination [at the present time]. I also asked the life insurance provider….they will not respond to hypothetical inquiry and take things on a case by case basis….in other words all options are open

        1. Thanks. My guess is that some health insurance is not covering by concluding the injection injury was not caused by the injection.

  7. Video is wonderful and is really flattering to you both. Not joking. It is a IdiocraZy for sure.

    1. Lots of work going into audio and video quality around here. This should be core curriculum in grade schools…and home schools!
