The CDC Writes Guidelines For Businesses On How To Reopen During Pandemic. Donald Trump Has The Guidelines Pushed Aside Amidst His “Opening Up America Again” Plan

The CDC has written guidelines for businesses on how to reopen during quarantine , but these were pushed away by the Trump administration amidst the president ’ s “ Opening Up America Again ” plan .
According to an article from the AP : The Trump administration shelved a document created by the nation ’ s top disease investigators with step-by-step advice to local authorities on how and when to reopen restaurants and other public places during the still-raging coronavirus outbreak .
The 17-page report by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention team , titled “ Guidance for Implementing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” was researched and written to help faith leaders , business owners , educators and state and local officials as they begin to reopen .
It was supposed to be published last Friday , but agency scientists were told the guidance “ would never see the light of day , ” according to a CDC official .
The official was not authorized to talk to reporters and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity .
The AP obtained a copy from a second federal official who was not authorized to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in AP stories last week , prior to the White House decision to shelve it .
The guidelines are reasonable in light of the current pandemic which has killed tens of thousands of people in the US .
For example , in the document it reads that if a workplace can not protect employees from infection then it should not reopen : But such rules would conflict with the idea of reopening everything and acting as though life is normal ( which is part of the fantasy of the fanatics ) , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration would want to impede such guidelines .

shoebat--2020-05-11--First It Was Temporary, Now There Are Permanent Factory Closure Due To COVID-19

During the 1930s , while America was in the Great Depression ( or perhaps now , the first great depression ) , one of the things that rescued the country was manufacturing preparations for World War II .
While it is true the world is working closer towards a major war , currently the enervation of the US manufacturing base has resulted in the systematic disenfranchisement of millions of people from the work force , with a stratification between the very poor and the very wealthy .
Will domestic war-time manufacturing resume ?
That is anybody ’ s guess , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there is no manufacturing returning any time soon , for due to the effects of the COVID-19 shutdown is not a mere furlough , but the laying off of workers due to permanent factory closures .
Factory furloughs across the U.S. are becoming permanent closings , a sign of the heavy damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the industrial economy .
Makers of dishware in North Carolina , furniture foam in Oregon and cutting boards in Michigan are among the companies closing factories in recent weeks .
Caterpillar Inc. CAT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closing plants in Germany , boat-and-motorcycle-maker Polaris Inc. PII -1.89 % ▲ plans to close a plant in Syracuse , Ind.
, and tire maker Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. GT -4.64 % ▲ plans to close a plant in Gadsden , Ala. Those factory shutdowns will further erode an industrial workforce that has been shrinking as a share of the overall U.S. economy for decades .
While manufacturing output last year surpassed a previous peak from 2007 , factory employment never returned to levels reached before the financial crisis .
The closures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record job losses in recent weeks won ’ t be temporary , said Gabriel Ehrlich , an economic forecaster at the University of Michigan .
The more that job losses turn from temporary to permanent , he said , the harder the hit to consumer spending and every company that relies on it—including manufacturers .
“ The higher the proportion of permanent layoffs , the worse the chances of a strong recovery start to look , ” Mr. Ehrlich said .
Layoffs have already wiped away nearly a decade of employment gains at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workers from 2010 through the end of last year , employing a total of 12.9 million people in December .

A recent report from NPR says that at the death rate we are currently seeing in the US on account of coronavirus, the death count will be at 100,000 by May:
The confirmed number of Americans who have now died from the coronavirus is about 80,000. At a rate of 1,000 to 2,000 deaths per day, the U.S. would surpass 100,000 deaths from COVID-19 between May 21 and May 31. The country’s curve has plateaued, but it appears to have a long tail. And that flattening is masked by New York and New Jersey’s daily new cases coming down, because new cases are on the rise in other places.
If the death count reaches this number it will show the necessity for quarantines, because without a quarantine the death count would be a lot higher.

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned the Senate of “suffering and death” if states open up too quickly, as we read in a report from the Washington Post:
Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, warned of “suffering and death that could be avoided” and of further economic damage if states reopen too quickly and said the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus is probably higher than the 80,000 reported.
His comments came during highly anticipated Senate testimony Tuesday as he and other leading federal health officials were pressed on whether the country is ready to reopen. The panel’s chairman and witnesses are appearing remotely in an unusual session that includes the first congressional testimony from Fauci, a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, since President Trump declared the coronavirus crisis a national emergency March 13.

shoebat--2020-05-12--Are Dust Bowl Conditions Returning To The Midwest And West?

During the 1930s , one of the environmental conditions that significantly worsened the impact of the Great Depression was the “ dust bowl ” , referring to the dry agricultural conditions that caused crops to die and brought about the mass migration of peoples around the US , especially from Texas and Oklahoma to California .
Now according to CBS news , there is the chance of a “ megadraught ” similar to what happened during the Dust Bowl years to return to the US .
Come spring , the American West ’ s vast water reservoirs are supposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year , as in recent years , the large reservoirs of Lake Mead and Lake Powell in the Colorado River basin area have seen declining water levels — an ominous trend that a new study warns could signal a looming megadrought .
“ The persistence of the drought conditions , in the Colorado River basin especially , is essentially unprecedented in human history , ” John Fleck , author of “ Water is for Fighting Over , ” told CBS News ’ John Blackstone .
Fleck has spent years studying the Colorado @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for much of the region around it .
He said that Lake Mead and Lake Powell ’ s reservoirs have what he described as “ big bathtub rings ” around them , left behind as the water declines .
“ There is less water in the system now than there was 20 and 30 years ago , ” he said .
Fleck explained that a “ wet year ” every few years may seem like the drought is ending , but those years are still comparatively lower than decades before .
“ When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mountains over winter , we are seeing less water make it into the rivers , and downstream to the farms and cities and the fish and the ecosystems that depend on the water , ” he said .
Lake Powell is shown from an airplane window on March 30 , 2015 , in Page , Arizona .
/ JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES A team of scientists is researching megadroughts that have lasted as long as 40 years , using tree ring evidence going back 1,200 years .
“ If they go back in time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these phenomenal droughts — in terms of both severity and in terms of length , ” Park Williams , the scientist leading the research , said .
“ And until recently , those droughts have always been spoken about with almost a mythical-type character.
” Williams said the drought of the last two decades “ developed the same way that the megadroughts did.
” However , the key difference now is climate change ’ s effect on weather conditions in the area , which largely depends on melting snowpacks to fill reservoirs .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ would still have a drought , ” Williams said .
“ But it wouldn ’ t be a serious as the one we ’ ve actually seen.
” ( source ) I have never discussed this on Shoebat.com , but one of the conditions that I monitor closely is the drought situation for the US .
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has an excellent resource you can use here to follow conditions and patterns around the country .
As the article notes , the major issues are out west in the Colorado River region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple states of what are otherwise generally deserted regions .

During the 1930s, one of the environmental conditions that significantly worsened the impact of the Great Depression was the “dust bowl”, referring to the dry agricultural conditions that caused crops to die and brought about the mass migration of peoples around the US, especially from Texas and Oklahoma to California.
Now according to CBS news, there is the chance of a “megadraught” similar to what happened during the Dust Bowl years to return to the US.
Come spring, the American West’s vast water reservoirs are supposed to fill with melting snow. However, this year, as in recent years, the large reservoirs of Lake Mead and Lake Powell in the Colorado River basin area have seen declining water levels — an ominous trend that a new study warns could signal a looming megadrought. “The persistence of the drought conditions, in the Colorado River basin especially, is essentially unprecedented in human history,” John Fleck, author of “Water is for Fighting Over,” told CBS News’ John Blackstone. Fleck has spent years studying the Colorado River, a crucial source of water for much of the region around it. He said that Lake Mead and Lake Powell’s reservoirs have what he described as “big bathtub rings” around them, left behind as the water declines. “There is less water in the system now than there was 20 and 30 years ago,” he said.
Fleck explained that a “wet year” every few years may seem like the drought is ending, but those years are still comparatively lower than decades before. “When we do get a snowpack in the mountains over winter, we are seeing less water make it into the rivers, and downstream to the farms and cities and the fish and the ecosystems that depend on the water,” he said. Lake Powell is shown from an airplane window on March 30, 2015, in Page, Arizona. / JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES
A team of scientists is researching megadroughts that have lasted as long as 40 years, using tree ring evidence going back 1,200 years. “If they go back in time 500 years or so, there were these phenomenal droughts — in terms of both severity and in terms of length,” Park Williams, the scientist leading the research, said. “And until recently, those droughts have always been spoken about with almost a mythical-type character.” Williams said the drought of the last two decades “developed the same way that the megadroughts did.”
However, the key difference now is climate change’s effect on weather conditions in the area, which largely depends on melting snowpacks to fill reservoirs. “Without human-caused climate change, we would still have a drought,” Williams said. “But it wouldn’t be a serious as the one we’ve actually seen.” (source)
I have never discussed this on Shoebat.com, but one of the conditions that I monitor closely is the drought situation for the US. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has an excellent resource you can use here to follow conditions and patterns around the country.
As the article notes, the major issues are out west in the Colorado River region, as the river feeds people in multiple states of what are otherwise generally deserted regions. Since water is a critical resource, it is only natural that water would be a major issue for all of them due to their geography.
Environmental conditions can exacerbate political or social problems. With the economic crash exposed by the effects of the COVID-19 virus, there is a serious possibility that even a small drought which affects crops would have a major impact on economic and social issues.
Could this cause domestic migrations? Will it have a significant effect on the price of food (it likely will)? What effects will this have on what is left of the “American way of life?” We do not fully know, but just like the COVID-19 virus, what effects it does have will likely come as unexpected to many, who will find themselves unprepared and panicking to figure out how to respond.
The virus was a warning call. Do not be caught unprepared for the future, as it might be too late.

shoebat--2020-05-13--Germany Attacks The European Central Bank For Purchasing The Debt Of Poorer EU Countries, Thus Spark

Germany Attacks The European Central Bank For Purchasing The Debt Of Poorer EU Countries, Thus Sparking More Divisions In The European Union Which Is Only Going To Help Lead To Another German Reich

Recently the German Constitutional Court — the highest court in Germany — did a decision that shocked both financial markets and policymakers in Europe , and which has induced questions on the survival of the euro zone : it declared that the European Central Bank ’ s purchasing of government bonds ( quantitate easing , or purchasing debt ) did not respect “ the principle of proportionality ” and that the German central bank and government should have resisted the ECB ’ s actions .
The situation shows a clash between Germany and the EU bank , indicating a further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ECB ’ s response was that it simply follows decisions taken by the European Court of Justice and not national courts ( in this case , the German court ) , denoting how the Germans are really working to undermine the cohesiveness of the EU ( an observation which shoebat.com has been making for years now ) .
According to Suddeutsche Zeitung , there are fears that the German court ’ s decision “ will jeopardize the independence of the central bank and the primacy of the European Court of Justice ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ court has caused discussion about the survival of the euro zone .
“ People will ask : ‘ Will this increase the risk of a ( euro zone ) breakup ?
’ ” Marchel Alexandrovich , senior European economist at Jefferies , told CNBC Monday during a phone call .
A major German official , Wolfgang Schauble , who is president of the German parliament ( Bundestag ) , observed that the reason for the euro ’ s existence was being questioned by numerous EU countries .
As Schauble said : Moreover , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the European Central Bank from national banks — especially the German banks .
There is talk of how what the Germans did could be a violation of Article 130 of EU law which forbids the European Central Bank from taking orders from member states : “ neither the European Central Bank , nor a national central bank , nor any member of their decision-making bodies shall seek or take instructions from Union institutions , bodies , offices or agencies , from any government of a Member State or from any other body.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Maastricht Treaty , which states that there will be no commingling of debts .
Thus , it could be argued , purchasing bonds means shouldering the debts of poorer countries like Italy .
However , the head of the EU Commission , Ursula von der Leyen , affirmed that EU law holds precedence over national regulations .
But , the Germans are arguing that the European Central Bank is acting ultra vires or beyond its power by purchasing such a tremendous amount of debt .
Thus , since the ECB is acting beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an argument to object to the ECB ’ s debt purchasing .
Hence why the German court accused the ECB of breaching EU treaty law .
The Germans can then object to both the ECB and the Court of Justice of the European Union ( CJEU ) , as we read in a report from EuroIntelligence : But lets look at some of the details of the ECB ’ s bond buying and see what effects Germany ’ s intervention could have geopolitically on Europe .
The ECB was purchasing bonds from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enslavement to the German banks , particularly Italy .
If the ECB is impeded from purchasing the debt of Italy , then it would make borrowing costs higher for the Italians .
As Silvia Amaro has written , this type of restriction “ would become particularly problematic for countries such as Italy , which has very high levels of government debt .
Their borrowing costs would rise if the ECB was prevented from buying Italian bonds , as investors would assign a greater risk to the the possibility of the Italian government defaulting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something of a conflict between the European Central Bank and the German establishment .
The president of the ECB , Christine Lagarde , has said that she will continue on with the 2.7 trillion-euro program of asset-purchasing in order to maintain the stability of the euro zone .
This indicates a boosting up of the 750 billion-euro pandemic purchase program which was established in March specifically to mitigate the economic devastation from the coronavirus crises .
According to Carolynn Look : “ The ECB could decide to increase that program , extend it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the proceeds of bonds as they mature .
The only question is when.
” Isabel Schnabel , an Executive Board member of the ECB , affirmed that the program of buying debt will continue on in order to keep the euro zone afloat : “ We are using this flexibility to make sure that our monetary policy is transmitted to all euro area countries … And we stand ready to adjust the size and duration of the programme if needed.
” But if Germany persists in trying to coerce the European Central Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ( 1 ) It would demonstrate Germany working to consolidate her power over the EU establishment ; ( 2 ) it would also further intensify anti-EU sentiment in deficit countries like Italy where hatred has definitely been flaring against the Euro Bloc .
According to Luigi Scazzieri of the Center for European Reform , a “ recent survey by the European Parliament revealed that only 49 % of Italians—the lowest proportion in the EU – consider EU membership to have benefited Italy , while only 49 % said they would vote to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Euroscepticism has been growing intensely in these last years .
In 2013 , the anti-establishment party , Five Star Movement , presented itself as the party of Euroscepticism and won 25.5 % of the vote in the general election .
The animosity towards the European Union has been growing and these feelings have continued to be exacerbated through different crises : the 2009 European economic crisis ; the 2015 migrant crisis , and now the Corona-crisis of 2020 .
With each catastrophe comes a new stage in the phenomena of nationalist outpouring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate , what could take place is the rise of populism to the point that anti-EU movements will become popular enough in poorer countries to where the Germans would use such a situation to justify mistrust of their neighbors and thereby to then justify militarism .
We saw a taste of this very thing when Merkel declared that Europe could no longer trust America and Britain and thus it had to lead its own destiny .
This type of rhetoric has been coming out of the German government in the midst of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military capacity .
What this tension between Germany and the ECB could also lead to is a further fragmentation of the European Union .
If the ECB does not shoulder the debt of deficit countries , this will convince the Eurosceptics of countries like Italy that the EU does not care about the people and does not deserve their allegiance .
The third possible effect of Germany ’ s attack on the ECB is that the situation will empower other countries to also attack the European Union , causing more polarization .
Countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are both under investigation by the EU ) , could use Germany ’ s example to justify undermining the Euro Bloc .
Holger Schmieding , European economist at Berenberg , said in an email to CNBC : “ The risk that this sets a precedent looms large .
It may even be more relevant in political than in economic and financial terms — think Hungary and Poland , for example , whose leaders have their own disputes with European institutions ” .
As EuroIntelligence explains : If an atmosphere of division intensifies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Germans will capitalize on the situation to consolidate their power and make herself more independent of the bloc .
In other words , the Germans will start speaking of themselves as Germany as opposed to Europe .
With Germany acting more independently , the current system of the EU will be warped into a German leviathan , with Germany working more for German interests while pursuing power over her neighbors .
While so many Conservatives are talking about a “ one world government , ” what we are currently seeing is a storm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will join the warpath , with allegiances being made and animosities being declared , with innocent blood being shed , and the merchants of war soaking in their avarice .
“ For nation will rise against nation , and kingdom against kingdom.
” ( Mark 13:8 ) The fragmentation of the euro zone is something that not all EU elites are averse to .
In fact , Giscard d ’ Estaing , the one who brought Greece into the European Union in 1981 , demanded that Greece be severed from the euro zone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put on hold from the euro , ” said Giscard , because , as he argued , Greek voters “ abandoned economic union , and therefore indirectly monetary union.
” German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble also wanted Greece to leave the euro zone in 2015 , stating : While the German high court is attacking the one institution that is uniting Europe through money — the European Central Bank — , let us remember that it was also a German court that protected one of the most divisive figures within Europe today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Catalonian separatist movement .
After leading an illegal referendum to get Catalonia independent from Madrid , Puigdemont fled to Brussels since he was , at that point , a fugitive who the Spanish wanted to lock up behind bars for a long time .
On his way back from Denmark he stopped in Germany where he was arrested .
The Spaniards wanted to bring him to justice , but a German court declared that Spain could not arrest him for sedition .
Or as one report put it : a “ higher regional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warrant against Catalan president Carles Puigdemont , following Spain dropping its request .

Recently the German Constitutional Court — the highest court in Germany — did a decision that shocked both financial markets and policymakers in Europe, and which has induced questions on the survival of the euro zone: it declared that the European Central Bank’s purchasing of government bonds (quantitate easing, or purchasing debt) did not respect “the principle of proportionality” and that the German central bank and government should have resisted the ECB’s actions. The situation shows a clash between Germany and the EU bank, indicating a further polarization of the European Bloc.
The ECB’s response was that it simply follows decisions taken by the European Court of Justice and not national courts (in this case, the German court), denoting how the Germans are really working to undermine the cohesiveness of the EU (an observation which shoebat.com has been making for years now).
According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, there are fears that the German court’s decision “will jeopardize the independence of the central bank and the primacy of the European Court of Justice”. The statement coming out of the German court has caused discussion about the survival of the euro zone. “People will ask: ‘Will this increase the risk of a (euro zone) breakup?’” Marchel Alexandrovich, senior European economist at Jefferies, told CNBC Monday during a phone call.
A major German official, Wolfgang Schauble, who is president of the German parliament (Bundestag), observed that the reason for the euro’s existence was being questioned by numerous EU countries. As Schauble said:
“It may well be that the existence of the euro is now being questioned in other EU member states – because every national constitutional court can judge for itself”
Moreover, this is a matter of the independence of the European Central Bank from national banks — especially the German banks. There is talk of how what the Germans did could be a violation of Article 130 of EU law which forbids the European Central Bank from taking orders from member states: “neither the European Central Bank, nor a national central bank, nor any member of their decision-making bodies shall seek or take instructions from Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, from any government of a Member State or from any other body.” But the Germans are referencing the Maastricht Treaty, which states that there will be no commingling of debts. Thus, it could be argued, purchasing bonds means shouldering the debts of poorer countries like Italy. However, the head of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, affirmed that EU law holds precedence over national regulations.
But, the Germans are arguing that the European Central Bank is acting ultra vires or beyond its power by purchasing such a tremendous amount of debt. Thus, since the ECB is acting beyond its capacity, the Germans would have an argument to object to the ECB’s debt purchasing. Hence why the German court accused the ECB of breaching EU treaty law. The Germans can then object to both the ECB and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), as we read in a report from EuroIntelligence:
“The German court said it accepts that it is bound by CJEU rulings, but only those that occur within the EU’s agreed competences. All bets are off it the CJEU goes ultra vires. And, crucially, the German court decides if and when that happens.”
But lets look at some of the details of the ECB’s bond buying and see what effects Germany’s intervention could have geopolitically on Europe. The ECB was purchasing bonds from the governments of countries that are in debt enslavement to the German banks, particularly Italy. If the ECB is impeded from purchasing the debt of Italy, then it would make borrowing costs higher for the Italians. As Silvia Amaro has written, this type of restriction “would become particularly problematic for countries such as Italy, which has very high levels of government debt. Their borrowing costs would rise if the ECB was prevented from buying Italian bonds, as investors would assign a greater risk to the the possibility of the Italian government defaulting on its debt.” Now there is something of a conflict between the European Central Bank and the German establishment. The president of the ECB, Christine Lagarde, has said that she will continue on with the 2.7 trillion-euro program of asset-purchasing in order to maintain the stability of the euro zone.
This indicates a boosting up of the 750 billion-euro pandemic purchase program which was established in March specifically to mitigate the economic devastation from the coronavirus crises. According to Carolynn Look: “The ECB could decide to increase that program, extend it into 2021, or promise to reinvest the proceeds of bonds as they mature. The only question is when.” Isabel Schnabel, an Executive Board member of the ECB, affirmed that the program of buying debt will continue on in order to keep the euro zone afloat: “We are using this flexibility to make sure that our monetary policy is transmitted to all euro area countries … And we stand ready to adjust the size and duration of the programme if needed.”
But if Germany persists in trying to coerce the European Central Bank, then it would do three things: (1) It would demonstrate Germany working to consolidate her power over the EU establishment; (2) it would also further intensify anti-EU sentiment in deficit countries like Italy where hatred has definitely been flaring against the Euro Bloc. According to Luigi Scazzieri of the Center for European Reform, a “recent survey by the European Parliament revealed that only 49% of Italians—the lowest proportion in the EU – consider EU membership to have benefited Italy, while only 49% said they would vote to stay in the EU in a referendum.” Euroscepticism has been growing intensely in these last years. In 2013, the anti-establishment party, Five Star Movement, presented itself as the party of Euroscepticism and won 25.5% of the vote in the general election.
The animosity towards the European Union has been growing and these feelings have continued to be exacerbated through different crises: the 2009 European economic crisis; the 2015 migrant crisis, and now the Corona-crisis of 2020. With each catastrophe comes a new stage in the phenomena of nationalist outpouring. If Euroscepticism intensifies to a serious rate, what could take place is the rise of populism to the point that anti-EU movements will become popular enough in poorer countries to where the Germans would use such a situation to justify mistrust of their neighbors and thereby to then justify militarism. We saw a taste of this very thing when Merkel declared that Europe could no longer trust America and Britain and thus it had to lead its own destiny. This type of rhetoric has been coming out of the German government in the midst of a major move by Germany to advance her military capacity. What this tension between Germany and the ECB could also lead to is a further fragmentation of the European Union. If the ECB does not shoulder the debt of deficit countries, this will convince the Eurosceptics of countries like Italy that the EU does not care about the people and does not deserve their allegiance.
The third possible effect of Germany’s attack on the ECB is that the situation will empower other countries to also attack the European Union, causing more polarization. Countries such as Hungary and Poland (which are both under investigation by the EU), could use Germany’s example to justify undermining the Euro Bloc. Holger Schmieding, European economist at Berenberg, said in an email to CNBC: “The risk that this sets a precedent looms large. It may even be more relevant in political than in economic and financial terms — think Hungary and Poland, for example, whose leaders have their own disputes with European institutions”. As EuroIntelligence explains:
“The German court’s interpretation will have important consequences if other national courts follow suit, which we think is very likely. Poland’s deputy justice minister already declared that member states have regained their position as the masters of the EU treaties. We expect the ruling to strengthen the determination by the Polish government to press ahead with judicial reform, and to resist interference by the EU into what they consider domestic legal affairs.”
If an atmosphere of division intensifies, and its clouds grow darker, the Germans will capitalize on the situation to consolidate their power and make herself more independent of the bloc. In other words, the Germans will start speaking of themselves as Germany as opposed to Europe. With Germany acting more independently, the current system of the EU will be warped into a German leviathan, with Germany working more for German interests while pursuing power over her neighbors. While so many Conservatives are talking about a “one world government,” what we are currently seeing is a storm of division between nations growing. Nations will join the warpath, with allegiances being made and animosities being declared, with innocent blood being shed, and the merchants of war soaking in their avarice. “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Mark 13:8)
The fragmentation of the euro zone is something that not all EU elites are averse to. In fact, Giscard d’Estaing, the one who brought Greece into the European Union in 1981, demanded that Greece be severed from the euro zone in 2015. “Greece must be put on hold from the euro,” said Giscard, because, as he argued, Greek voters “abandoned economic union, and therefore indirectly monetary union.” German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble also wanted Greece to leave the euro zone in 2015, stating:
“We haven’t said we are going to force that on anyone, we couldn’t we don’t want to, no one has suggested that … but perhaps that would be the better way. And that’s something increasing numbers of people are saying in Greece.”
While the German high court is attacking the one institution that is uniting Europe through money — the European Central Bank —, let us remember that it was also a German court that protected one of the most divisive figures within Europe today, Carles Puigdemont, the leader of the Catalonian separatist movement. After leading an illegal referendum to get Catalonia independent from Madrid, Puigdemont fled to Brussels since he was, at that point, a fugitive who the Spanish wanted to lock up behind bars for a long time. On his way back from Denmark he stopped in Germany where he was arrested. The Spaniards wanted to bring him to justice, but a German court declared that Spain could not arrest him for sedition. Or as one report put it: a “higher regional court of Schleswig-Holstein has revoked the extradition warrant against Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, following Spain dropping its request. German prosecutors this morning received the official confirmation from Spanish judge Pablo Llarena that he had revoked the European Arrest Warrant against Puigdemont.”
If the Germans really cared about keeping the integrity of the EU Bloc, why would they protect one of the biggest pushers for the divide of Europe? And why are they now attacking the financial institution that, through its money, is keeping the euro zone from dying?
What we are currently witnessing is the build up towards the rise of German power and the eventual implosion of war.

The U.S. economy faces unprecedented risks from the coronavirus if fiscal and monetary policy makers don’t rise to the challenge, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said while pushing back against the notion of deploying negative interest rates. “The recovery may take some time to gather momentum, and the passage of time can turn liquidity problems into solvency problems,” Powell said Wednesday in remarks to a virtual event hosted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “Additional fiscal support could be costly, but worth it if it helps avoid long-term economic damage and leaves us with a stronger recovery.” Powell and his colleagues on the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee have taken dramatic measures to shelter the U.S. economy during the coronavirus pandemic. They have cut their benchmark interest rate to nearly zero, engaged in open-ended bond buying and begun rolling out emergency lending programs as U.S. unemployment has soared to levels not seen since the 1930s Great Depression.

There is going to be no economic recovery.
All of this is a shell game with debt. If people can’t spend money because they have none or cannot get access to it, making loans stops. When loanmaking stops, money is not printed, and when money is not printed, the ponzi scheme upon which the economy is based stops. It’s a house of cards that will crash.
The last sixty years- and arguably the last century -of monetary policy has been financial trickery to keep the image of wealth and value afloat while extracting as much as possible as far as real assets are concerned. This can only endure for so long before the entire system must fall apart, like any scam eventually does.
COVID-19 was the tool that caused exactly that to happen. It exposed, by force, the corruption of the financial system and made it such that the economy cannot likely recover because of money printing.
There are only two scenarios left. Either a long-term deflationary depression, or hyperinflation, the latter being more likely than the former.
