newswars--2020-02-18--Bloomberg, 2011: Young Black, Latino Men ‘Don’t Know How to Behave in the Workplace’

Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg once claimed during a television appearance that an “ enormous cohort ” of young black and Latino males “ don ’ t know how to behave in the workplace.
” Bloomberg , who at the time was in his final term as mayor of New York City , made the remarks at the launch of his multimillion dollar Young Men ’ s Initiative ( YMI ) in August 2011 .
The program , funded in part through a collaboration between the city of New York and George Soros , seeks to address the “ disparities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ages of 16 and 24 in education , employment , health and justice.
” As part of its launch , Bloomberg mounted a media campaign to stir up attention and enthusiasm .
One of the first stops of that campaign was an in-depth sit down with PBS News Hour .
The televised interview , however , would prove to be problematic given Bloomberg ’ s use of language that can only be considered racially insensitive .
Bloomberg started off by saying : For a long time people have said there is nothing you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Blacks and Latinos score terribly in school testing compared to whites and Asians .
If you look at our jails , it ’ s predominantly minorities .
If you look at where crime takes place , it ’ s in minority neighborhoods… who the victims and the perpetrators are , it ’ s virtually all minorities .
Bloomberg proceeded to argue that although great lengths had been taken to address the city ’ s crime problem , its root causes could not be addressed without expanding economic opportunities for young men of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Bloomberg , the YMI was to come into play .

For a long time people have said there is nothing you can do about [racial disparities]. Blacks and Latinos score terribly in school testing compared to whites and Asians. If you look at our jails, it’s predominantly minorities. If you look at where crime takes place, it’s in minority neighborhoods… who the victims and the perpetrators are, it’s virtually all minorities.
Bloomberg proceeded to argue that although great lengths had been taken to address the city’s crime problem, its root causes could not be addressed without expanding economic opportunities for young men of color. Which is where, according to Bloomberg, the YMI was to come into play.

newswars--2020-02-18--US Breaks Cruise Ship Quarantine, Flies 13 Infected Americans To Omaha Facility

Attention has gradually moved to the spread of the virus offshore , where the number of new cases is starting to turn exponential .
As the chart below shows , after growing at a modest pace , the number of people infected outside of the mainland is now accelerating at an alarming pace .
But one rather stunning fact when analyzing the offshore progression of the disease , is that there are now more cumulative coronavirus cases on just one cruise ship – the infamous Diamond Princess which has been quarantined in Japan for the past two weeks – then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of China ( which begs the question just how many people are infected around the globe and have so far avoided detection ) .
As a reminder , the Princess Cruises ship was carrying 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew when it set sail and was quarantined after 10 cases of coronavirus were reported Feb. 4 .
Since then the number of cases on board has exploded , and on Monday alone , Japan announced an additional 99 infections on the Diamond Princess , raising the ship ’ s total number of cases to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people on the ship have yet to be tested , the real number of infections may not be known for days .
Jeff Nyquist joins The Alex Jones Show to discuss the strategy for invasion by releasing a bioweapon like coronavirus .
Where things gets problematic , is that whereas until now most of those on board the cruise ship had remained in isolation , the self-imposed quarantine is now over , and on Sunday , fourteen evacuees from the Diamond Princess were allowed to fly back to the United States Sunday despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State Department and Health and Human Services said in a joint statement .
Why were they released ?
Because supposedly they were not symptomatic , and in a very ominous twist , they had tested negative initially !
“ These individuals were moved in the most expeditious and safe manner to a specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft to isolate them in accordance with standard protocols , ” the statement , published Sunday , read .
The State Department was unaware the individuals had coronavirus when they were being removed from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few days before , Robert Kadlec , the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services , said on a phone call with reporters .
“ If those results had come back four hours earlier before we ’ d started to disembark the ship and before these people were evacuees within an evacuation system , then it would ’ ve been a different discussion.
” Dr. William Walters , director of operational medicine at the U.S. Department of State , said on the call .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ had isolated the biggest incubator of coronavirus cases outside of Wuhan was broken simply because an initial test had given a false negative , and subsequents test confirmed that at least 14 indeed had the coronavirus .
Kadlec said that individuals received multiple screenings when moving from ship to bus to plane and a more extensive medical assessment upon arrival .
In any case , the Diamond Princess quarantine is now broken , and two charter flights carrying at least 14 infected passengers landed at military bases in California and Texas overnight , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ period to ensure those passengers don ’ t have coronavirus .
In total , approximately 380 Americans were on board the Diamond Princess ship for the duration of the cruise and quarantine at sea .
One plane carrying American passengers touched down at Travis Air Force Base in northern California just before 11:30 p.m. Sunday local time .
A second flight arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas around 2½ hours later , early Monday .
The California flight had 177 people on it , seven of whom tested positive for coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people were isolated during the flight for fever .
Upon arrival , 171 stayed in Travis while six traveled to Omaha .
The Texas flight had 151 people board and included the other seven who tested positive for coronavirus .
Two additional passengers were isolated on account of fever .
All passengers who tested positive for coronavirus then moved on to Omaha .
How did all those Americans who were flying alongside the infected feel ?
Well , according to USA Today , “ the aircraft design allowed passengers to sit in isolation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tail of the aircraft.
” We can only hope that “ plastic divider ” was enough to keep the virus confined to its own class aboard the aircraft .
Anyway , now that hundreds of passengers were locked up in that ship for almost two weeks for nothing with the US rushing to break quarantine without waiting to verify the initial “ all clear ” test , officials from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine confirmed that they are assessing 13 adults at their quarantine and biocontainment facility in Omaha @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 or 3 a.m. , we were asked to bring some individuals here who had either tested positive or had a high likelihood of testing positive because of symptoms they were exhibiting , ” said Dr. Chris Kratochvil , the executive director at the University of Nebraska Medical Center ’ s Global Center for Health Security .
Twelve of them are housed in the quarantine center while one man was transferred to the hospital ’ s biocontainment unit for testing and observation because of symptoms including cough , fever , shortness of breath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would make him particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus , the USA Today reported .
“ He is doing good and in stable condition at this time , ” reported Shelly Schwedhelm , Nebraska Medicine ’ s executive director of emergency management and biopreparedness .
She went on to note that “ the folks in the quarantine center have all been tested , and we ’ re waiting for those results.
” She added that the other 12 are isolated in “ very nice rooms with WiFi , TV and a small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at hotels but with engineering controls ” to prevent contaminated air from escaping .
Their test results , which are due back any moment ( Monday afternoon ) , will determine whether the patients will be allowed to see their spouses or leave their rooms .
Regardless of whether they test positive or negative , all of the new arrivals will spend at least 14 days in the facility , and any who test positive will likely stay longer , said Dr. Mike Wadman , the co-medical director of the National Quarantine Unit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says it ’ s possible that they may be asked to take more patients should more of the Diamond Princess passengers now in quarantine at the airbases test positive .
Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health , told the USA TODAY editorial board and reporters Monday that the original idea to keep people safely quarantined on the ship wasn ’ t unreasonable .
Yet where the entire story falls on its face is that even with the quarantine process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occurred .
One can only hope that there are proper precaution pathways in place to prevent transmission now that at least 13 infected cruise passengers are now on US soil .
“ The quarantine process failed , ” Fauci said .
“ I ’ d like to sugarcoat it and try to be diplomatic about it , but it failed .
People were getting infected on that ship .
Something went awry in the process of the quarantining on that ship .
I don ’ t know what it was , but a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ship.
” What might have gotten awry is that the virus is airborne and spread via the air conditioning system .
But before we get banned from another social network , we will wait for someone “ more credible ” to make that claim .
Unfortunately , since the Diamond Princess was the single biggest incubator of coronavirus cases outside of Wuhan , and since nobody still seems to have a full grasp on how to contain the infection , we have a nagging feeling that this breach of quarantine will come back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Holland America said that 255 passengers and 747 crew members remained on the MS Westerdam , which docked in Sihanoukville , Cambodia , Friday , after being turned away from ports in Japan , Thailand and Guam .
One female American passenger tested positive for coronavirus at a Malaysian hospital over the weekend .
She remains stable , and her travel companion tested negative , the cruise line said .
It was unclear if quarantine on that cruise ship had also been broken , as the cruise line stated that at least some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hotel : the cruise line said Cambodian health officials tested those on board Monday , a process expected to last several more days .
“ Guests at a hotel in Phnom Penh have all completed the COVID-19 screening , ” the cruise line said .
“ Results are being returned when completed , with the first batch of 406 all being negative .
Cleared guests may travel home , and arrangements are being made for those guests .
Guests in both locations are being very well cared for , including assisting with any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news : in keeping with its daily attempts to minimize the threat from the coronavirus pandemic , JPMorgan ’ s inhouse insurance strategist , MW Kim , said that even as attention shifts to cases outside of China , “ at this stage , we see the virus contagion risk remaining relatively small , considering hospital capacity and strong local efforts to minimize the outbreak.
” Yet even here , the bank sounded decidedly unsure of its cheerful prediction ( this is the same bank whose credibility was shattered last week when China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by 15,000 in one day , crushing JPMorgan ’ s “ epidemiological model ” ) , to wit : The following table from JPM lists the number of international cases , excluding the 454 infected on the Diamond Princess , and excluding the 60 cases reported in Hong Kong .
Expect the numbers to surge as more thorough testing reveals just how extensively the virus has spread .

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s prized assault weapons ban went down in flames on Monday after four moderate Democrats “balked at the proposal,” WJLA reports.
From WJLA, “Virginia lawmakers have rejected assault weapon ban despite Northam’s push”:
Senators voted to shelve the bill for the year and ask the state crime commission to study the issue, an outcome that drew cheers from a committee room packed with gun advocates. Four moderate Democrats joined Republicans in Monday’s committee vote, rejecting legislation that would have prohibited the sale of certain semiautomatic firearms, including popular AR-15 style rifles, and banned the possession of magazines that hold more than 12 rounds.

All of a sudden , really crazy things are starting to happen all over the world .
Giant swarms of locusts are absolutely devastating entire regions , extremely unusual storms are confounding meteorologists , earthquake and volcanic activity are both on the rise , and five very dangerous diseases are sweeping across the globe .
So far in 2020 , it has just been one thing after another , and many are speculating about what could be ahead if events continue to escalate .

Alex Jones breaks down the public agenda of the globalists to cull the population and dispel opposition to their total domination .
The following is a list of 10 plagues that are hitting our planet simultaneously… # 1 Armies Of Locusts – As I detailed the other day , swarms of locusts the size of major cities have been devouring entire farms in Africa in as little as 30 seconds .
These swarms have also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and now we have learned that they have even reached China… # 2 Extremely Bizarre Weather Patterns – It is almost as if virtually all of the old rules have suddenly been thrown out the window .

For example , a magnitude 7.7 quake recently struck off of the coast of Jamaica , but I have been so busy writing about other disasters that I have not even mentioned it until now… # 5 Unusual Volcanic Eruptions – Seismic activity has been rising all over the globe , and over the past couple of months we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pop off like firecrackers .

All of a sudden, really crazy things are starting to happen all over the world.
Giant swarms of locusts are absolutely devastating entire regions, extremely unusual storms are confounding meteorologists, earthquake and volcanic activity are both on the rise, and five very dangerous diseases are sweeping across the globe.
So far in 2020, it has just been one thing after another, and many are speculating about what could be ahead if events continue to escalate.
The other day my wife mentioned that one of her friends suggested that I should put together a list of all the weird stuff that has been taking place, and so that is what I have decided to do.
Alex Jones breaks down the public agenda of the globalists to cull the population and dispel opposition to their total domination.
The following is a list of 10 plagues that are hitting our planet simultaneously…
#1 Armies Of Locusts – As I detailed the other day, swarms of locusts the size of major cities have been devouring entire farms in Africa in as little as 30 seconds. These swarms have also been spreading throughout the Middle East, and now we have learned that they have even reached China…
A gigantic swarm of locusts that belong to a plague that has ravaged millions of acres of crops across east Africa has been spotted reaching the Chinese border. Billions of the insects have destroyed food supplies across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia in what has been described as the worst plague for decades.
#2 Extremely Bizarre Weather Patterns – It is almost as if virtually all of the old rules have suddenly been thrown out the window. An all-time record 209 mph wind gust just hit Calfiornia, and absolutely crazy storms are happening all over the planet. For example, just check out what just took place in Australia…
Sydney has been thrown into chaos by a devastating storm that saw two months of rainfall in just two days – forcing mass evacuations, leaving 150,000 homes without power, and prompted warnings not to drive to work. The storm dumped 400mm of rain on the city over the weekend, causing mayhem for commuters on Monday morning with roads blocked, ferries canceled and trains suffering major delays across the network.
#3 Unprecedented Flooding – We are seeing unusual flooding all over the world right now, and the flooding that is devastating the southern U.S. at this moment is being called “unprecedented”…
In Jackson, Mississippi, hundreds of residents either watched their homes flood over the weekend or worried their residence would soon be drenched as the Pearl River crested Monday at 36.8 feet, its third-highest level ever recorded – behind only 1979 and 1983. Calling the Jackson floods “historic” and “unprecedented,” Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a Sunday press conference that “we do not anticipate this situation to end anytime soon. It will be days before we are out of the woods and the waters recede.”
#4 Major Earthquakes – Really big earthquakes are happening with such frequency now that it is very difficult for me to write about them all. For example, a magnitude 7.7 quake recently struck off of the coast of Jamaica, but I have been so busy writing about other disasters that I have not even mentioned it until now…
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Tuesday about 80 miles from Jamaica, shaking people in the Caribbean and as far away as Miami. A tsunami of 0.4 feet was recorded in the Cayman Islands at George Town, but no tsunami was observed at Port Royal, Jamaica, or Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
#5 Unusual Volcanic Eruptions – Seismic activity has been rising all over the globe, and over the past couple of months we have seen volcanoes all over the world pop off like firecrackers. One of the most notable eruptions that we have seen in recent days was the most powerful eruption of Mount Merapi in 90 years…
One of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, Mount Merapi just experienced its most powerful eruption since 1930! The eruption reportedly took place on Thursday and was caught on video displaying a powerful and terrifying eruption showing the moment the crater exploded and launched lava and ash an estimated 2,000 meters into the air forcing local residents to stay outside of the designated no-go zone 3km (1.8 miles) from the crater.
#6 The Coronavirus – Needless to say, the coronavirus outbreak in China has been getting more headlines than anything else on this list. The numbers continue to rise, and many are speculating that this could potentially become the worst global pandemic since the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. In a desperate attempt to keep the truth from getting out, the World Health Organization is asking the major social media companies to censor their users…
The World Health Organization has held talks with tech giants to stop the spread of coronavirus “misinformation,” despite the fact that some things once labeled “misinformation” have since turned out to be true. The meeting was organized by the WHO but hosted by Facebook at its Menlo Park campus in California. Attendees included representatives from Amazon, Twilio, Dropbox, Google, Verizon, Salesforce, Twitter, YouTube, Airbnb, Kinsa and Mapbox.
#7 The African Swine Fever – “Pig Ebola” has already wiped out millions upon millions of pigs in China, and it has now spread to more than 40 other countries. The price of pork is absolutely skyrocketing in China right now, and to help fill the demand the Chinese are increasingly importing pork from U.S. sources…
Tyson Foods Inc. says it’s just starting to see the benefits of the African swine fever outbreak in China, which includes a 600% year-over-year increase in pork orders to China in the fiscal first quarter.
#8 The H1N1 Swine Flu – Unlike the African Swine Fever, the H1N1 Swine Flu can actually kill humans. In fact, it has already killed more people outside of China than the coronavirus outbreak has. For instance, 13 people in Taiwan died from the virus in one recent week alone…
As of now, the H1N1 virus is posing a great threat once again as it has claimed 13 lives in Taiwan in the last week. This virus is highly contagious and is known to spread from human to human. It is especially dangerous for those with a compromised immune system like those suffering from chronic medical conditions and long-term health conditions.
#9 The H5N1 Bird Flu – This strain of the bird flu caused a massive global scare a number of years ago, and now it is experiencing a stunning resurgence. China has had to kill thousands of chickens so far, and experts are warning that this outbreak could be just getting started…
China also is reportedly dealing with an outbreak of the deadly H5N1 bird flu in chickens in the Hunan province, an area that borders the province where the coronavirus emerged, according to the South China Morning Post. As of Feb. 1, local authorities had culled 17,828 poultry after the H5NI outbreak, according to a statement by China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
#10 The H5N8 Bird Flu – This strain is different from the H5N1 bird flu, but many believe that it is even more frightening. It has started to pop up in numerous places around the globe, and experts were really surprised when it recently made an appearance in Germany…
Germany has reported an outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu virus in a backyard in the southwestern part of the country, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) said on Monday. The virus killed 44 birds out of a flock of 69 in Bretzfeld, in the Baden-Wurttemberg region, the Paris-based OIE said, citing a report from Germany’s food and agriculture ministry.
Can any of you remember a time when we have been hit by crisis after crisis like this all at once?
2020 has certainly started off with quite a bang, and many expect global events to continue to accelerate.
So hold on to your hats, because things are likely to get even crazier in the months ahead.

Others were quick to respond to Obama ’ s phoney claim :

President Trump responded Monday night, calling Barack Obama’s claim that his prior administration is responsible for the booming US economy a “Con job”.
“Did you hear the latest con job?” Trump tweeted, explaining that “Obama is now trying to take credit for the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration.”
“He had the WEAKEST recovery since the Great Depression, despite Zero Fed Rate & MASSIVE quantitative easing.” Trump noted.
Trump also noted that he “had to rebuild our military, which was totally depleted.”
“Fed Rate UP, taxes and regulations WAY DOWN.” The President continued.
“If Dems won in 2016, the USA would be in big economic (Depression?) & military trouble right now. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!” Trump concluded.

“President Trump reversed every single failed Obama-era economic policy, and with it, reversed the floundering Obama/Biden economy,” read the statement from Kayleigh McEnany, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary. “Obama and Biden orchestrated the worst economic recovery in modern history.”
“By contrast, though, deregulating, lowering taxes, and supporting free-market policies, President Trump has created the hottest economy on record, with unemployment hitting generational lows and all-time lows for African Americans, Hispanics, the disabled, veterans and many other hard-working Americans,” added McEnany.

newswars--2020-02-18--Report: Senate Democrats Held Secret Meeting With Iran Foreign Minister To Undermine Trump Policy

Senate Democrat Chris Murphy reportedly met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference last week , according to The Federalist .
If true , such a meeting by the Connecticut senator would not only violate the Logan Act , but represents a clear hypocrisy of considering Democrats spent three years trying to impeach President Trump for “ colluding ” with Russia , which turned out to be entirely false .
Such a meeting would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s administration .
In February 2017 , Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia .
“ Any effort to undermine our nation ’ s foreign policy – even during a transition period – may be illegal and must be taken seriously , ” Murphy said in 2017 after anonymous leaks of Flynn ’ s phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak were published .
He also strongly criticized the open letter some Republican senators sent Iranian leaders during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a nuclear agreement .
Murphy failed to mention that he defended Secretary of State John Kerry for conducting the same kind of secret meetings with Iran in 2018 .
Trump slammed Kerry after he admitted to conducting “ three or four ” secret meetings with Iran in 2019 to undermine his new policy of withdrawing from the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal .
Trump goes on offense — filing suit against Cummings and Democrats who want to continue investigating Trump and hinting that John Kerry violated the Logan Act by working with Iran .

A similar movement is taking place in Virginia as Democrat politicians in the state continue passing anti-Second Amendement legislation prompting calls for counties secede and join the more conservative West Virginia.


newswars--2020-02-18--DHS Waiving Federal Contracting Laws to Expedite Border Wall Construction

The Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) has announced it will waive nearly a dozen federal contracting regulations in order to expedite construction of up to 177 miles of border wall .
The laws being waived include “ requirements for having open competition , justifying selections and receiving all bonding from a contractor before any work can begin , ” according to the Associated Press .
Acting DHS chief Chad Wolf is reportedly operating under broad authority to construct border barriers granted to him by a 2005 law which passed unanimously in the Senate .
“ The Trump administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 94 miles ( 150 kilometers ) of wall to be built this year , bringing the Republican president closer to his pledge of about 450 miles ( 720 kilometers ) since taking office and making it one of his top domestic priorities , ” the AP reports .
“ It said the other 83 miles ( 133 kilometers ) covered by the waivers may get built this year.
” Acting Secretary Wolf said he hopes the move “ will accelerate some of the construction that ’ s going along the Southwest border.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many years and under previous administrations , was very bipartisan and non-political , ” Wolf told Fox and Friends .
“ It ’ s only in this administration that a number of Democrats and others choose not to secure our border , so the President has made the decision that if he ’ s not going to get the funding and resources from Congress , then he ’ s going to use existing resources and existing authority — not only from the Department of Homeland Security , but also from [ Department of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are securing that border .

newswars--2020-02-18--Subprime Auto Loan Delinquencies at Financial Crisis Levels

Subprime auto loan delinquencies have exploded , taking the overall delinquency rate to Financial Crisis levels .
But the economy is supposedly great .
What is causing this spike in delinquencies ?
According to the latest data released by the New York Fed , serious delinquencies ( 90 days or more past due ) surged by 15.5 % in the fourth quarter of 2019 to a record high of $ 66 billion .
Seriously delinquent auto loans now make up 4.94 % of the record $ 1.33 trillion in total loans and leases outstanding .
This may not sound like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher than the delinquency rate was in Q3 2010 when the auto industry was collapsing in the midst of the worst unemployment crisis since the Great Depression .
The delinquency rate peaked in the fourth quarter of 2010 at 5,27 % of outstanding loans .
We ’ re approaching that record high .
The big problem is in the subprime sector .
( A subprime borrower is defined as somebody with a credit score under 620 . )
According to WolfStreet , about 22 % of all outstanding auto loans qualify as subprime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of that total , $ 66 billion are 90 days or more delinquent .
In other words , 23 % of subprime auto loans are seriously delinquent – nearly a quarter of all subprime loans .
There is another layer to this that should be flashing warning signs .
Many of these subprime auto loans have been packaged into asset-backed securities ( ABS ) , similar to what was done with subprime mortgages in the years leading up to the housing crash .
We started to see problems with subprime auto loans back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that time , the pain among small auto lenders “ parallels with the subprime mortgage crisis last decade , when the demise of finance companies like Ownit Mortgage and Sebring Capital Partners were a harbinger that bigger losses for the financial system were coming.
” Things have only deteriorated since then .
Subprime loan ABS are now experiencing record delinquency rates .
In January , the subprime 60+ day delinquency rate for the auto-loan ABS rose to 5.83 % , according to Fitch Ratings .
That ranks as the highest rate for any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate for any month .
As this chart by WolfStreet shows , it ’ s higher than any delinquency rate during the Financial Crisis .
You will also see from the chart that prime auto loan delinquencies are at historic lows .

Unemployment levels are low .

As with so many things in the economy that are out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be traced to the loose monetary policy of the Federal Reserve .
WolfStreet explains .
“ It ’ s how aggressive the subprime lending industry has gotten , and how they ’ ve been able to securitize these loans and selling the ABS into heavy demand from investors who have gotten beaten up by negative-interest-rate and low-interest-rate policies of central banks .

Many of these subprime auto loans have been packaged into asset-backed securities (ABS), similar to what was done with subprime mortgages in the years leading up to the housing crash. We started to see problems with subprime auto loans back in 2018. As Bloomberg noted at that time, the pain among small auto lenders “parallels with the subprime mortgage crisis last decade, when the demise of finance companies like Ownit Mortgage and Sebring Capital Partners were a harbinger that bigger losses for the financial system were coming.”

These investors have been madly chasing yield. And their demand for subprime-auto-loan ABS has fueled the subprime lending business.”
Artificially low interest rates work on both sides of the equation. It makes subprime lending possible and it creates demand from investors to package these loans into ABS. As a result, banks are giving loans to more and more riskier borrowers. More risky borrowers lead to more delinquencies and defaults.
Like all bubbles, the auto loan bubble will pop just like the housing bubble popped. The collapse of the subprime auto market probably won’t have the same impact on the economy as the housing crash did in 2008. The industry isn’t as big in terms of dollars.

Vaccine-induced immune overload and obesity
In multiple papers published over the last decade and a half, immunologist JB Classen has been making the case that “vaccine induced immune overload”—which he also refers to as “iatrogenic immune stimulation”—is a primary cause of the obesity epidemic and other inflammatory disease epidemics. Arguing that a “huge increase” in inflammation-associated disorders has followed on the heels of the “massive increase” in the childhood vaccine schedule, Classen points out that “The epidemic of obesity in US children has a statistically significant positive correlation with the number of vaccine doses recommended,” with similar trends evident for hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
From Classen’s perspective, a “major problem with vaccines is the one dose fits all approach.” In his papers, he points out the following:
“In order to induce protection to infection in the 1% of the population with the weakest immune system, vaccines are over stimulating the immune system of the remaining 99% of the population and this is leading to epidemics of inflammatory diseases.”
According to Classen, the theory of vaccine-induced immune overload is far more biologically plausible than competing hypotheses such as (in the case of obesity) “nutrition overload” or lack of exercise. The immunology expert notes that, contrary to popular belief, inflammation precedes (rather than follows) the development of obesity, and it also boosts the activity of natural steroids that can cause obesity. In addition, specific vaccines are known to cause elevations in proinflammatory proteins that are associated with and predictive of overweight and obesity.
Other researchers have linked in utero exposure to mercury to a higher risk of childhood overweight or obesity. The influenza vaccines routinely administered to pregnant women contain the mercury-based preservative thimerosal.
Glyphosate and obesity
Increasingly, obesity researchers agree with Classen that excess calories and inadequate exercise are “insufficient to account for the observed changes in [obesity and metabolic syndrome] disease trends.” They propose that in utero and early life exposure to synthetic chemicals such as glyphosate and other pesticides may be playing a major role.
As one of the most widely used chemicals in the world, glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) deserves particular attention.

One of the key mechanisms whereby glyphosate may carve out a “path to obesity,” say Seneff and Samsel, is through glyphosate’s impairment of tryptophan synthesis. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that, when depleted, leads to inadequate serotonin and melatonin in the brain. Ordinarily, serotonin regulates appetite, so “it follows that serotonin deficiency would lead to overeating and obesity.”
As with vaccines, temporal trends in glyphosate use correlate with obesity trends, not just in the U.S. but around the world. Seneff and Samsel state:
“The obesity epidemic began in the United States in 1975, simultaneous with the introduction of glyphosate into the food chain, and it has steadily escalated in step with increased usage of glyphosate in agriculture. While it is common knowledge that Americans are continuing to grow more and more obese with each passing year, there may be less awareness that obesity aligns with glyphosate usage elsewhere in the world. For example, South Africa arguably has the highest obesity rates in all of Africa, and it is also the African country that has most heavily embraced glyphosate usage since the 1970’s and has freely adopted genetically modified crops with little regulation.”
Pervasive risks, many outcomes
Classen’s numerous publications focus not just on obesity but also on other immune-mediated conditions such as diabetes (types 1 and 2) and metabolic syndrome. As a result of his analyses, he makes the crucial observation that the “clinical manifestation of disease depends on one’s physiologic response to inflammation.” Stated another way, he proposes that vaccine-induced immune overload may lead to different outcomes in different individuals—explaining the many parallel childhood epidemics we are observing.
Seneff and Samsel make a similar point about glyphosate and its influence on a long list of chronic diseases, including “autism, . . . inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn’s disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, cachexia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and ALS, among others.” They state, “While genetics surely play a role in susceptibility, genetics may rather influence which of these conditions develops in the context of glyphosate exposure, rather than whether any of these conditions develops.”
Overall, Classen asserts that “vaccines are much more dangerous than the public is lead [sic] to believe,” adding that “The medical industry must take ownership for causing of the epidemics through the inappropriate recommendations and gross over utilization of vaccines.” Seneff and Samsel make a similar critique of glyphosate, postulating that it may be “the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment” and advocating for immediate action to “drastically curtail” its use.
