Perhaps the biggest example of the Western media ’ s inherent biases surrounding its coverage of Sweden ’ s approach to tackling COVID-19 .
Plenty of media outlets decried the country ’ s “ massive ” fatality rate compared to its lockdown-favoring neighbors , but failed to add the context necessary to see that the difference was only a couple thousand deaths , and that Sweden ’ s per capita mortality rate was still lower than Britain ’ s , and other countries that favored lockdowns .
When Anders Tegnell ( pictured ) , the architect of Sweden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would have done things “ differently ” if given a second chance , the Western press , including the NYT , rushed to frame this as an admission of guilt for failing to order the types of restrictive lockdowns seen in other European countries .
Tegnell later clarified that this isn ’ t what he meant at all .
What ’ s more , in Sweden , deaths have declined nearly to zero .
And since the country ’ s economy has remained open this whole time , there ’ s little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are still in place are finally lifted .
In a column published Thursday , The Telegraph ’ s Allister Heath argued that Sweden ’ s success at fighting the virus while minimizing economic damage elucidates the depth of the British medical establishment ’ s incompetence , as it was Britain ’ s health experts whose advice PM Johnson assiduously followed .
Read an excerpt from the column below ( courtesy of the Telegraph ) : So now we know : Sweden got it largely right , and the British establishment catastrophically wrong .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , has pulled off a remarkable triple whammy : far fewer deaths per capita than Britain , a maintenance of basic freedoms and opportunities , including schooling , and , most strikingly , a recession less than half as severe as our own .

Tegnell later clarified that this isn’t what he meant at all.
What’s more, in Sweden, deaths have declined nearly to zero. And since the country’s economy has remained open this whole time, there’s little risk of resurgence when whatever minimal restrictions are still in place are finally lifted.
In a column published Thursday, The Telegraph’s Allister Heath argued that Sweden’s success at fighting the virus while minimizing economic damage elucidates the depth of the British medical establishment’s incompetence, as it was Britain’s health experts whose advice PM Johnson assiduously followed.
Read an excerpt from the column below (courtesy of the Telegraph):
So now we know: Sweden got it largely right, and the British establishment catastrophically wrong. Anders Tegnell, Stockholm’s epidemiologist-king, has pulled off a remarkable triple whammy: far fewer deaths per capita than Britain, a maintenance of basic freedoms and opportunities, including schooling, and, most strikingly, a recession less than half as severe as our own.
Our arrogant quangocrats and state “experts” should hang their heads in shame: their reaction to coronavirus was one of the greatest public policy blunders in modern history, more severe even than Iraq, Afghanistan, the financial crisis, Suez or the ERM fiasco. Millions will lose their jobs when furlough ends; tens of thousands of small businesses are failing; schooling is in chaos, with A-level grades all over the place; vast numbers are likely to die from untreated or undetected illnesses; and we have seen the first exodus of foreigners in years, with the labour market survey suggesting a decline in non-UK born adults.
Pandemics always come with large economic and social costs, for reasons of altruism as well as of self-interest. The only way to contain the spread of a deadly, contagious disease, in the absence of a cure or vaccine, is to social distance; fear and panic inevitably kick in, as the public desperately seeks to avoid catching the virus. A “voluntary” recession is almost guaranteed.
But if a drop in GDP is unavoidable, governments can influence its size and scale. Politicians can react in one of three ways to a pandemic. They can do nothing, and allow the disease to rip until herd immunity is reached. Quite rightly, no government has pursued this policy, out of fear of mass deaths and total social and economic collapse.
The second approach involves imposing proportionate restrictions to facilitate social distancing, banning certain sorts of gatherings while encouraging and informing the public. The Swedes pursued a version of this centrist strategy: there was a fair bit of compulsion, but also a focus on retaining normal life and keeping schools open. The virus was taken very seriously, but there was no formal lockdown. Tegnell is one of the few genuine heroes of this crisis: he identified the correct trade-offs.
The third option is the full-on statist approach, which imposes a legally binding lockdown and shuts down society. Such a blunderbuss approach may be right under certain circumstances – if a vaccine is imminent – or for some viruses – for example, if we are ever hit with one that targets children and comes with a much higher fatality rate – but the latest economic and mortality statistics suggest this wasn’t so for Covid-19.
Almost all economists thought that Sweden’s economy would suffer hugely from its idiosyncratic strategy. They were wrong. Sweden’s GDP fell by just 8.6 per cent in the first half of the year, all in the second quarter, and its excess deaths jumped 24 per cent. A big part of Sweden’s recession was caused by a slump in demand for its exports from its fully locked-down neighbours. One could speculate that had all countries pursued a Swedish-style strategy, the economic hit could have been worth no more than 3-4 per cent of GDP. That could be seen as the core cost of the virus under a sensible policy reaction.
By contrast, Britain’s economy slumped by 22.2 per cent in the first half of the year, a performance almost three times as bad as Sweden’s, and its excess deaths shot up by 45 per cent. Spain’s national income slumped even more (22.7 per cent), and France’s (down 18.9 per cent) and Italy’s (down 17.1 per cent) slightly less, but all three also suffered far greater per capita excess deaths than Sweden. The Swedes allowed the virus to spread in care homes, so if that major failure had been fixed, their death rate could have been a lot lower still.

“ There are a lot of people that think that he is not being treated fairly .

I don ’ t know him , never met him .

“ I ’ ve heard it both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you know , persecuted .

India Due to Launch a COVID 19 Vaccine for Public Use by August 15th 2020
By TLB Contributing Partner: Christina England, BA, Hons
According to leading experts, it usually takes 10 – 15 years, for a vaccine to be developed. This is because the process of developing a vaccine, usually begins with the testing of the vaccines safety and immunogenicity in animals, before it is ever deemed safe enough to be tested on humans.
However, it appears that because the COVID 19 pandemic, was classified as a national emergency by our world leaders, scientists have been given the green light by the World Health Organization, to fast track any vaccine for the COVID 19 pandemic.
This fact, was something that Professor Balram Bhargava, the Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), was able to use to his advantage, in a letter that he sent to 12 hospitals and research centers, on July 2.2020.
In his letter, Bhargava urged the centers, to fast track the safety trials for the indigenous Covaxin vaccine, by enrolling participants for the clinical trials no later than July 7, 2020. This was because he had planned to have the vaccine ready for “public health use” by August 15, 2020.
Bhargava wrote:
“This is the first indigenous vaccine being developed by India and is one of the top priority projects which is being monitored at the topmost level of government. The vaccine is derived from a strain of SARS-CoV2 isolated by ICMR-National Institute of Virology, Pune. ICMR and BBIL are jointly working for the preclinical as well as the clinical development of the vaccine.”
He continued:
“It is envisaged to launch the vaccine for public health use latest by 15th August 2020, after completion of all clinical trials. BBIL is working expeditiously to meet the target, however, final outcome will depend on the co-operation of all clinical trial sites involved in this project. You have been chosen as a clinical trial site of the BBV152 COVID vaccine. In view of the public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and urgency to launch the vaccine, you are strictly advised to fast-track all approvals related to initiation of the clinical trial and ensure that the subject enrolment is initiated no later than 7th July 2020.”
In fact, Bhargava, was so keen for his company to be the first to launch a COVID 19 vaccine, that he concluded his letter with the following statement:
“Kindly note that non-compliance will be viewed very seriously. Therefore, you are advised to treat this project on highest priority and meet the given timelines without any lapse.”
Enlarged text from document above:
Did Bharat Biotech International Develop a Conscience After All?
However, it appears that the launch of the vaccine will not go ahead as planned. This is because according to the website, OneIndia, the company manufacturing the vaccine, Bharat Biotech International, had informed them that they were in no rush to launch the vaccine because they believe that the public’s safety is paramount and that they do not want to put lives at risk by using the wrong vaccine.
In an article, published on August 13, 2020, by OneIndia, authors wrote that:
“Krishna Ella, Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Biotech International said that there is a tremendous pressure on us to develop the vaccine. But for us, safety and quality are paramount. We don’t want to kill more people with the wrong vaccine…”
If their article is correct, The Liberty Beacon would like to know why Bharat Biotech International suddenly decided to do a U-turn and put the public’s safety first. Did they suddenly develop a conscience or is there another reason behind their sudden change of heart?
We ask these questions because we believe that the public’s health and safety, played no part in their decision and that the real reason behind their decision to do an about turn, was because another company had already beaten them to it.
In an article published by Science, on August 11, 2020, it was announced that:
“In a startling and confusing move, Russia claimed today it had approved the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine, as the nation’s Ministry of Health issued what’s called a registration certificate for a vaccine candidate that has been tested in just 76 people. The certificate allows the vaccine, developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow, to be given to “a small number of citizens from vulnerable groups,” including medical staff and the elderly, a Ministry of Health spokesperson tells ScienceInsider. But the certificate stipulates that the vaccine cannot be used widely until 1 January 2021, presumably after larger clinical trials have been completed.”
However, it appears that Russia’s elation at being first to approve a vaccine, was short lived, because far from being the beacon of light that everyone has been waiting for, many scientists are concerned about the validity of their safety trials and are questioning the vaccines legitimacy.
Science stated that:
“Scientists around the world immediately denounced the certification as premature and inappropriate, as the Gamaleya vaccine has yet to complete a trial that convincingly shows it is safe and effective in a large group of people. Even some within Russia challenged the move. “It’s ridiculous,” says Svetlana Zavidova, a lawyer who heads the Association of Clinical Research Organizations in Russia. “I feel only shame for our country.” Zavidova, who has worked on clinical trials for 20 years and anticipated the approval, yesterday sent an appeal to the Ministry of Health to postpone registering the vaccine until proper efficacy trials are completed. “Accelerated registration will no longer make Russia a leader in this race, it will only expose end users of the vaccine, citizens of the country of the Russian Federation, to unnecessary danger,” she wrote on behalf of the clinical research group.””
The Liberty Beacon believes that in the fight to become the first company to approve a vaccine for COVID 19, scientists have lost sight of what is really important in this battle and instead of acting in the public’s best interest, they have continually shown that they are willing to sacrifice health and safety, in favor of fame and fortune.

Bill Gates says hydroxychloroquine has ‘severe side effects,’ but little evidence they’re common
Studies do not show major prevalence of severe side effects
By Daniel Payne
Bill Gates this week added more flame to the fire in the ongoing debate over the usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, claiming that using the drug to treat the coronavirus carries with it the risk of “severe side effects” and arguing that medical officials should instead pursue the numerous “good therapeutic drugs” currently in development.
Yet there is at present little evidence that “severe side effects” are common in COVID-19 patients who take hydroxychloroquine, with the majority of reported adverse events being relatively mild and only a small fraction of reported effects so far being dangerous and/or fatal.
The drug, which has been used for years to treat malaria and other conditions like lupus, has been at the center of a medical and political firestorm since March when President Trump touted the medicine as a possible effective treatment for coronavirus. Numerous medical officials have claimed that it offers no benefit to COVID-19 patients, while others have insisted that it is highly effective when used in certain circumstances, specifically on high-risk patients early in the course of the disease.
Asked by Bloomberg magazine about the controversy on Thursday, Gates—who has been at the forefront of funding and advocacy efforts to find both a cure and a vaccine for COVID-19—said that though we live “in age of science … sometimes it doesn’t feel that way.”
“In the test tube, hydroxychloroquine looked good,” he said. “On the other hand, there are lots of good therapeutic drugs coming that are proven to work without the severe side effects.”
Studies do not show major prevalence of severe side effects
Numerous studies across the world over the past several months have produced mixed results on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19, with some showing marked benefits and others indicating that it does not help patients recover from the disease.
Yet regardless of study outcomes, severe adverse health events associated with the drug appear to be comparatively rare.
One randomized trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this month stated that, while the study’s treatment with hydroxychloroquine “did not prevent illness compatible with Covid-19 or confirmed infection,” there were nevertheless “no serious intervention-related adverse reactions or cardiac arrhythmias” reported by study participants.
“Nausea, loose stools, and abdominal discomfort were the most common side effects,” the researchers stated. A study out of England in July similarly found “no excess of new major cardiac arrhythmia” among patients treated with the drug.
Another study released in July stated that diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting were the most common side effects; as with the study released in August, researchers stated that “no serious adverse events attributable to the study drug occurred.” A study earlier this year out of Marseille, France, said that all adverse effects observed in the HCQ trial “were mild and included mostly gastrointestinal symptoms,” though they did report cardiac issues in a few dozen patients out of 3,737.
One study published in May, in contrast, found an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias among COVID-19 patients taking the drug. The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, has said it has received reports of “serious heart-related adverse events and death” in patients taking the medicine.
Dr. Harvey Risch (pictured here) a Yale epidemiologist who has been highly vocal in his advocacy of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment for certain patients—acknowledged that the drug can indeed cause fatal cardiac issues, but he argued the risks were very small compared to what he said were the potential benefits of the drug.
“The main ‘side effects’ are [gastrointestinal] disturbances especially at higher doses,” he told Just the News. “About 10% of users of 400mg/day may have slight nausea or some diarrhea. It is manageable over a 5-7 day course.”
“The serious side effect is fatal cardiac arrhythmia,” he said, but he argued that data indicate it is expected to occur in about 9 users per 100,000, a number he argued “must be compared” to the many more deaths he claimed the drug could prevent.
The Food and Drug Administration did not respond to queries on Friday seeking comment on the matter. The Gates Foundation also did not respond to queries on Friday asking for clarification on the “severe” adverse events to which Gates was referring.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-16--3 whoppers pushed by media, Biden amid Kamala Harris announcement [Video]

Several notable falsehoods have circulated throughout political media since the announcement of California Sen. Kamala Harris as Joe Biden ’ s running mate , a possible harbinger of a contentious and factually-challenged election season in the months ahead .
Below are three of the biggest whoppers so far : 1 .
Donald Trump praised neo-Nazis as “ very fine people.
” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tweeted on Wednesday that , three years ago this week , President Donald Trump praised a group of torch-wielding white supremacists in Charlottesville , Va. as “ very fine people.
” A white supremacists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past counter demonstrators in Charlottesville , Virginia on Aug. 12 , 2017 .
The allegation that Trump praised the neo-Nazis in the 2017 Charlottesville rally has been widely repeated since that year .
Yet a review of Trump ’ s remarks on Aug. 15 , three days after that rally , shows that Trump clearly differentiated between the white supremacists who were present at that rally and the “ very fine people ” he said were there for more benign reasons : [ Y ] ou had some very bad people in that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that were very fine people , on both sides .
You had people in that group .
Excuse me , excuse me .
I saw the same pictures as you did .
You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of , to them , a very , very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name .
… And you had people — and I ’ m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists .
Okay ?
And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly .
This is not the first time Biden has repeated a variation of this falsehood : In February he made a similar claim , arguing that Trump had “ yet once to condemn white supremacy [ or ] the neo-Nazis.
” FactCheck.org subsequently declared Biden wrong , pointing out numerous times Trump had condemned white supremacy over the course of his presidency .
2 .
Kamala Harris is a moderate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announcement of Harris as Joe Biden ’ s running mate , several news outlets and figures — including the New York Times and George Stephanopoulous — publicly characterized her as a “ moderate ” politician , one more from the middle of the Democratic Party rather than its progressive left wing .
Harris ( pictured with Sanders ) , however — who was the California attorney general for six years before rising to the U.S. Senate in 2017 — has long been known as a markedly liberal politician .
The watchdog website GovTrack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2019 , as well as the least likely to join in bipartisan bills .
That rating put her to the left of GovTrack ’ s ranking of Bernie Sanders , the only openly avowed socialist currently in the U.S. Senate .
In a 2019 Democratic debate , when participants were asked who among them would abolish private health insurance in favor of a government program , Harris and Sanders were the only two candidates to raise their hands .
Harris later said she misunderstood the question , but acknowledged that she would still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under her preferred government healthcare plan .
3 .
“ Nasty ” is never used on men .
Soon after the announcement of Harris as Biden ’ s vice presidential pick , President Trump referred to Harris as “ nasty ” due to her hard questioning of then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amid the sexual assault allegations that were swirling around him at the time .
Following Trump ’ s remarks , New Yorker writer and CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin claimed that the word “ nasty ” is “ never used to describe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Trump ’ s use of the word against Harris was sexist .
Yet Trump himself has used that word multiple times to refer to men .
The president earlier this year claimed Washington State Gov .
Jay Inslee is a “ nasty person.
” A few years ago , meanwhile , he referred to former GOP Rep. Mark Sanford — one of his strongest critics on Capitol Hill — as a “ nasty guy.
” According to the New York Times , he called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a “ nasty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ referred to European Union Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as “ nasty.
” He has said the same thing about Sen. Ted Cruz , London Mayor Sadiq Kahn , Sen. Lindsey Graham , Sen. Mitt Romney , and Jeb Bush .
He has also used that word to describe non-politicians such as journalists Juan Williams , Philip Rucker , and NBA players .

Fact check: 3 whoppers pushed by media, Biden amid Kamala Harris announcement
Harris is a ‘moderate,’ Trump praised neo-Nazis, and other untruths.
By Daniel Payne
Several notable falsehoods have circulated throughout political media since the announcement of California Sen. Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate, a possible harbinger of a contentious and factually-challenged election season in the months ahead. Below are three of the biggest whoppers so far:
1. Donald Trump praised neo-Nazis as “very fine people.” Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tweeted on Wednesday that, three years ago this week, President Donald Trump praised a group of torch-wielding white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va. as “very fine people.”
Three years ago today, white supremacists descended on Charlottesville with torches in hand and hate in their hearts. Our president said they were “very fine people.” It was clear then, and it’s clear now: We are in a battle for the soul of our nation, and we must win. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 12, 2020

The allegation that Trump praised the neo-Nazis in the 2017 Charlottesville rally has been widely repeated since that year. Yet a review of Trump’s remarks on Aug. 15, three days after that rally, shows that Trump clearly differentiated between the white supremacists who were present at that rally and the “very fine people” he said were there for more benign reasons:

Lee to another name. … And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
This is not the first time Biden has repeated a variation of this falsehood: In February he made a similar claim, arguing that Trump had “yet once to condemn white supremacy [or] the neo-Nazis.” FactCheck.org subsequently declared Biden wrong, pointing out numerous times Trump had condemned white supremacy over the course of his presidency.
2. Kamala Harris is a moderate. Following the Biden campaign’s announcement of Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate, several news outlets and figures — including the New York Times and George Stephanopoulous — publicly characterized her as a “moderate” politician, one more from the middle of the Democratic Party rather than its progressive left wing.
Harris (pictured with Sanders), however — who was the California attorney general for six years before rising to the U.S. Senate in 2017 — has long been known as a markedly liberal politician. The watchdog website GovTrack named her the most liberal senator of 2019, as well as the least likely to join in bipartisan bills. That rating put her to the left of GovTrack’s ranking of Bernie Sanders, the only openly avowed socialist currently in the U.S. Senate.
In a 2019 Democratic debate, when participants were asked who among them would abolish private health insurance in favor of a government program, Harris and Sanders were the only two candidates to raise their hands. Harris later said she misunderstood the question, but acknowledged that she would still only allow “supplemental” private insurance under her preferred government healthcare plan.
3. “Nasty” is never used on men. Soon after the announcement of Harris as Biden’s vice presidential pick, President Trump referred to Harris as “nasty” due to her hard questioning of then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amid the sexual assault allegations that were swirling around him at the time.
Following Trump’s remarks, New Yorker writer and CNN contributor Jeffrey Toobin claimed that the word “nasty” is “never used to describe male politicians,” appearing to imply that Trump’s use of the word against Harris was sexist.
Please note that the words “nasty,” “shrill,” and “strident” are never used to describe male politicians. — Jeffrey Toobin (@JeffreyToobin) August 12, 2020
Yet Trump himself has used that word multiple times to refer to men. The president earlier this year claimed Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee is a “nasty person.” A few years ago, meanwhile, he referred to former GOP Rep. Mark Sanford — one of his strongest critics on Capitol Hill — as a “nasty guy.” According to the New York Times, he called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a “nasty son of a bitch.”
He has referred to European Union Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as “nasty.” He has said the same thing about Sen. Ted Cruz, London Mayor Sadiq Kahn, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush.
He has also used that word to describe non-politicians such as journalists Juan Williams, Philip Rucker, and NBA players.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-16--Gold, money lending, Putin, Trump and the Antique World Order

Evidently , first Putin and now Trump have worked hard to restore control by elected governments over their central banks – which were previously in private hands , those private hands being extensions of the international banking cartels .
Good move !
A huge step in the right direction , yet in my view just the first manly stride in what will be a bit of a journey .
Now , we have to factor in the fact that both Putin ’ s and Trump ’ s governments have been stockpiling gold like mad .
So it appears that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cards .
When we return to a money system backed by gold , then a great deal of power will accrue to whosoever owns the gold .
A return to the gold standard , however , whilst a good move will not of itself bring an end to the debt-based money system but it may well be that what Trump and Putin have in mind is establishing a system whereby their elected governments create the money ( currently , governments DO NOT create their own money ) and bestow upon it credibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , of which they will have ample reserves .
As long as they then SPEND the created money into circulation and not LEND it , Mr Putin and/or Mr Trump will have done the world a massive favour and laid the economic foundations of the coming new and much improved civilisation , the Free World Order .
I can not guarantee that this is what is happening but right now it is sure looking like it to me .
There are a few caveats , which I ’ ll mention in the article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heads-up on things to be alert for , not to throw a wet blanket over our hopes .
Hope is justified .
It always is but right now it is more justified than ever .
I can sure see why the ancient , decrepit criminal cartels of seedy degenerates known as the Deep State , Globalists or New World Order are getting very nervous .
Their name , New World Order , is a misnomer .
They have been running this planet into the ground and sabotaging the efforts of good people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a very long time .
There is nothing “ new ” about their world order .
What they are striving for is a solidification ( fossilisation ) of a very old way of ordering the planet , very old ideas , modus operandi , crimes and deviant practices that seem to date from the time of the ruddy pharaohs and of which the modern Cabal is a direct linear , cultish descendant .
Their piece de resistance , the debt-money coup that really consolidated their hold on the planet through its medium of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old .
That ancient order has found itself in conflict with an emerging modern , vibrant , innovative , highly productive civilisation yearning for the stars .
For centuries the world has seen these two opposing forces collide and been shaped by that collision but now the younger and more vibrant is emerging the stronger .
A better epithet for what these crooks and perverts continue to try to foist on humanity is the Outgoing World Order or perhaps the Antique World Order .
And the better state of affairs that is emerging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ society they have been trying in vain to build , the civilisation now being born , is the Free World Order ( FWO ) .
The Antique World Order is approaching its own , long overdue , death .
The current Coronavirus Plandemic – a desperate throw of the dice designed to keep hold of the power slipping away from it – is its makeshift life support .
But there is a lot to be done yet to put that FWO stably in place and I hope the following notes , observations and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money system backed by gold would be an improvement on what we have at the moment .
What we have at the moment is a money system based on and backed by DEBT .
Put briefly : Money is created by banks out of thin air as numbers in computer memories .
These are loaned out to you , me , businesses and government AT INTEREST .
Therein lies a whole can of worms there is not the space to go into here but suffice to say we have a money system based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stupid and highly unworkable way of rigging a money system – unless you are the sector that owns the debts ( the bankers ) .
How the heck did we arrive at a money system backed by , of all things , by debt to money lenders and which delivers by increments the ownership of everything into the hands of those money lenders ?
It harks back to the goldsmiths of old ( the forebears of modern bankers ) .
The Goldsmiths of old were evidently responsible for spawning the world ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Here , very briefly , is how it happened .
People used gold ( and silver ) often in the form of coins as their means of exchange .
This made gold ( and silver but for brevity I ’ ll just talk of gold ) very valuable .
People needed to keep their gold safe .
The goldsmiths who worked gold into coins had vaults so as to keep secure the gold they were working with .
So people would ask the goldsmiths , who had secure vaults , to look after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would give out a receipt ( certificate ) for the gold he had taken into safekeeping .
The person could return to the goldsmith at any time and present the certificate and get his gold back .
After a while , people discovered that instead of exchanging gold back and forth as they did business , it was easier to leave the gold in the goldsmith ’ s vault and exchange the certificates back and forth instead because each certificate was worth the amount of gold it represented and which was safely stored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thus was born the system of paper money .
Over time , the goldsmiths noticed that people were content to use the certificates and leave the gold where it was – customers rarely turned up asking for their gold .
So the goldsmiths realised that they could print more paper certificates and claim that each certificate was backed by the gold in their vault .
So , for example , if they had a pound of gold in the vault for which there was in circulation a certificate representing that pound of gold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say ) nine certificates all claiming to represent the SAME pound of gold .
They could then lend out those certificates at interest and thereby rake in a handy profit for printing some bits of paper .
This was essentially a fraud ( given the respectable sounding name of Fractional Reserve Lending ) and it worked so long as no more than one of the holders of those certificates returned at any one time to ask for the gold it represented .
A situation where lots of people all turned up at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certificates represented was called a Run on the Bank .
A Run on the Bank usually occurred when there was a loss of confidence in the bank or in the paper money it was issuing – such as a loss of confidence that their bits of paper actually were “ as good as gold ” .
Gold was nice and solid and durable and shiny and had a long pedigree of being used as money so people had confidence in it and would return to it when their confidence in the paper was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not enough ACTUAL gold in the vaults to back up all the bits of paper that people had turned up at the bank brandishing , a lot of people would go away very disappointed .
So we wound up with paper money in circulation purporting to be backed by gold whereas only a fraction of it was .
But it worked okay so long as lots of people did not all try all at once to exchange their cash for real gold .
But the goldsmiths had created a system whereby they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lend them out .
Once lent out they circulated amongst people and essentially they were creating money out of nothing .
Eventually they stopped bothering with bits of paper as the digital age enabled them to use numbers in computer memories REPRESENTING the bits of paper that in turn REPRESENTED gold .
Thus we would wind up with a situation where , say , a hundred billion pounds or dollars was in circulation backed by , say , only ten billion in actual gold .
In the end , the banking industry and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pretence that the money was backed by gold .
The creation of money out of nothing and lending it to us suckers , however , continued .
With this in mind we need to be alert for is : • The “ gold ” being represented by “ gold certificates ” .
Gold certificates being traded back and forth as if real gold is changing hands .
The face value of the gold certificates will be many times that of the actual gold that exists .
It looks as though much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instance , is in fact real gold stored in a vault .
Good .
We need to be sure that when Russia , or the US or any government talks of its gold reserves , it actually HAS real gold , not some pieces of paper representing gold that is stored elsewhere – if it actually exists at all .
• Who owns the gold that is being bought and how did they come by it ?
• Bear in mind that the goldsmiths ’ deception is what underpins the modern money system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from it .
• And that debt-based-money scam IS what underpins the Globalists/NWO/Deep State/Big Bucks Aristocracy/Antique World Order money power .

Oh , and back up Mr Putin and Mr Trump and their heroic efforts to pull their governments free of the Antique World Order The above article was originally published on UK Reloaded

Something is afoot.
Evidently, first Putin and now Trump have worked hard to restore control by elected governments over their central banks – which were previously in private hands, those private hands being extensions of the international banking cartels.
Good move! A huge step in the right direction, yet in my view just the first manly stride in what will be a bit of a journey.
Now, we have to factor in the fact that both Putin’s and Trump’s governments have been stockpiling gold like mad. So it appears that a return to the gold standard is on the cards. When we return to a money system backed by gold, then a great deal of power will accrue to whosoever owns the gold.
Again, smart move.
A return to the gold standard, however, whilst a good move will not of itself bring an end to the debt-based money system but it may well be that what Trump and Putin have in mind is establishing a system whereby their elected governments create the money (currently, governments DO NOT create their own money) and bestow upon it credibility and stability by basing it upon gold, of which they will have ample reserves.
As long as they then SPEND the created money into circulation and not LEND it, Mr Putin and/or Mr Trump will have done the world a massive favour and laid the economic foundations of the coming new and much improved civilisation, the Free World Order.
We live in exciting times.
I cannot guarantee that this is what is happening but right now it is sure looking like it to me. There are a few caveats,which I’ll mention in the article below but these are intended as a heads-up on things to be alert for, not to throw a wet blanket over our hopes.
Hope is justified. It always is but right now it is more justified than ever.
I can sure see why the ancient, decrepit criminal cartels of seedy degenerates known as the Deep State, Globalists or New World Order are getting very nervous.
AWO vs FWO
Their name, New World Order, is a misnomer. They have been running this planet into the ground and sabotaging the efforts of good people to build a stable and decent civilisation for a very long time. There is nothing “new” about their world order. What they are striving for is a solidification (fossilisation) of a very old way of ordering the planet, very old ideas, modus operandi, crimes and deviant practices that seem to date from the time of the ruddy pharaohs and of which the modern Cabal is a direct linear, cultish descendant.
Their piece de resistance, the debt-money coup that really consolidated their hold on the planet through its medium of exchange is itself now over 300 years old.
But times and civilisations change.
That ancient order has found itself in conflict with an emerging modern, vibrant, innovative, highly productive civilisation yearning for the stars.
For centuries the world has seen these two opposing forces collide and been shaped by that collision but now the younger and more vibrant is emerging the stronger.
A better epithet for what these crooks and perverts continue to try to foist on humanity is the Outgoing World Order or perhaps the Antique World Order.
And the better state of affairs that is emerging to replace the lunatic asylum or slave society they have been trying in vain to build, the civilisation now being born, is the Free World Order (FWO).
The Antique World Order is approaching its own, long overdue, death. The current Coronavirus Plandemic – a desperate throw of the dice designed to keep hold of the power slipping away from it – is its makeshift life support.
But there is a lot to be done yet to put that FWO stably in place and I hope the following notes, observations and caveats will assist its architects.
Goldsmiths
A money system backed by gold would be an improvement on what we have at the moment.
What we have at the moment is a money system based on and backed by DEBT. Put briefly:
Money is created by banks out of thin air as numbers in computer memories. These are loaned out to you, me, businesses and government AT INTEREST.
Therein lies a whole can of worms there is not the space to go into here but suffice to say we have a money system based on debt and this is a very stupid and highly unworkable way of rigging a money system – unless you are the sector that owns the debts (the bankers).
How the heck did we arrive at a money system backed by, of all things, by debt to money lenders and which delivers by increments the ownership of everything into the hands of those money lenders?
It harks back to the goldsmiths of old (the forebears of modern bankers).
The Goldsmiths of old were evidently responsible for spawning the world’s daftest and most evil money system. Here, very briefly, is how it happened.
People used gold (and silver) often in the form of coins as their means of exchange. This made gold (and silver but for brevity I’ll just talk of gold) very valuable.
People needed to keep their gold safe.
The goldsmiths who worked gold into coins had vaults so as to keep secure the gold they were working with. So people would ask the goldsmiths, who had secure vaults, to look after their gold for them.
The goldsmith would give out a receipt (certificate) for the gold he had taken into safekeeping. The person could return to the goldsmith at any time and present the certificate and get his gold back.
After a while, people discovered that instead of exchanging gold back and forth as they did business, it was easier to leave the gold in the goldsmith’s vault and exchange the certificates back and forth instead because each certificate was worth the amount of gold it represented and which was safely stored at the goldsmith’s premises.
Thus was born the system of paper money.
Over time, the goldsmiths noticed that people were content to use the certificates and leave the gold where it was – customers rarely turned up asking for their gold.
So the goldsmiths realised that they could print more paper certificates and claim that each certificate was backed by the gold in their vault.
So, for example, if they had a pound of gold in the vault for which there was in circulation a certificate representing that pound of gold, they could print a further (say) nine certificates all claiming to represent the SAME pound of gold.
They could then lend out those certificates at interest and thereby rake in a handy profit for printing some bits of paper. This was essentially a fraud (given the respectable sounding name of Fractional Reserve Lending) and it worked so long as no more than one of the holders of those certificates returned at any one time to ask for the gold it represented. A situation where lots of people all turned up at the bank demanding the same gold their separate certificates represented was called a Run on the Bank.
A Run on the Bank usually occurred when there was a loss of confidence in the bank or in the paper money it was issuing – such as a loss of confidence that their bits of paper actually were “as good as gold”. Gold was nice and solid and durable and shiny and had a long pedigree of being used as money so people had confidence in it and would return to it when their confidence in the paper was shaken.
Of course, when there was not enough ACTUAL gold in the vaults to back up all the bits of paper that people had turned up at the bank brandishing, a lot of people would go away very disappointed.
So we wound up with paper money in circulation purporting to be backed by gold whereas only a fraction of it was. But it worked okay so long as lots of people did not all try all at once to exchange their cash for real gold.
But the goldsmiths had created a system whereby they could essentially print bits of paper and lend them out. Once lent out they circulated amongst people and essentially they were creating money out of nothing.
Eventually they stopped bothering with bits of paper as the digital age enabled them to use numbers in computer memories REPRESENTING the bits of paper that in turn REPRESENTED gold.
Thus we would wind up with a situation where, say, a hundred billion pounds or dollars was in circulation backed by, say, only ten billion in actual gold.
In the end, the banking industry and governments decided to no longer bother with the pretence that the money was backed by gold.
The creation of money out of nothing and lending it to us suckers, however, continued.
Caveats
With this in mind we need to be alert for is:
The “gold” being represented by “gold certificates”. Gold certificates being traded back and forth as if real gold is changing hands. The face value of the gold certificates will be many times that of the actual gold that exists. It looks as though much of the gold stockpiled by Russia, for instance, is in fact real gold stored in a vault. Good. We need to be sure that when Russia, or the US or any government talks of its gold reserves, it actually HAS real gold, not some pieces of paper representing gold that is stored elsewhere – if it actually exists at all.
Who owns the gold that is being bought and how did they come by it?
Bear in mind that the goldsmiths’ deception is what underpins the modern money system and the debt-based economy that has evolved from it.
And that debt-based-money scam IS what underpins the Globalists/NWO/Deep State/Big Bucks Aristocracy/Antique World Order money power.
An effort by a government to pay off its debts with its gold reserves. For one thing a country such as the US for example is TRILLIONS in debt and all the gold in its reserves handed over to its creditors would not get it out of debt. It would simply deliver ownership of the gold to banking cartels. The correct action would be to declare all debts void that derive from the money fraud and reform the system so that trillions in new fraudulent debt are not then racked up.
You want to put an end to the Deep State crew and their interminable inhibition and sabotage of the efforts of good people to build an enduring and worthy civilisation for all the people of the human community?
Then break this money power.
Remove the privilege given to criminal money-lending cartels (by credulous dimwitted governments) to create money out of nothing then charging us interest on it.
In essence, the AWO is a parasitic entity sucking the life out of every culture or nation it fastens on to and we are talking here about removing the mechanism by which it does this.
Production is key
A correct money system IS BASED ON PRODUCTION.
When you base a fundamental mechanism such as our means of exchange on debt or on gold, you essentially empower whosoever owns the debt or the gold.
If you base it on production you essentially empower those who produce the wealth (goods and services) that money represents. And that is YOU and your fellow producers.
How do you base money on production?
Read this article for a brief summary of how it can be done.
Oh, and back up Mr Putin and Mr Trump and their heroic efforts to pull their governments free of the Antique World Order
Hope that helps!

Some states anticipate 10 times the normal volume of election mail. Six states and D.C. received warnings that ballots could be delayed for a narrow set of voters. But the Postal Service gave 40 others — including the key battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida — more-serious warnings that their long-standing deadlines for requesting, returning or counting ballots were “incongruous” with mail service and that voters who send ballots in close to those deadlines may become disenfranchised.
“The Postal Service is asking election officials and voters to realistically consider how the mail works,” Martha Johnson, a spokeswoman for the USPS, said in a statement.
