Is This Coronavirus Rerouting Your Purpose in Life ?
I feel fairly certain many of you The Liberty Beacon readers have given thoughts of true purpose more time than other people who are too busy or too worried ( more likely the latter ) to be heavily concerned about philosophical concerns that they don ’ t feel puts bread on the table .
Their attention is more directed by exaggerated fear-mongering coming from all quarters out to make a buck from their fears .
The “ Get a job or you won ’ t survive ” advice that starts early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a job .
We do need to live comfortably in this very physical world .
But if the purpose ends up being whatever feeds your face , then that ’ s the body living , not you .
That ’ s the body talking to you from its dictatorial throne to : Go buy food !
Sleep !
Have sex !
Again , nothing wrong with these pleasures but do they qualify as high purpose in life , obliterating all else ?
No .
Some of you have found your purpose and are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done , despite all obstacles .
Fantastic !
Not so for most of humanity .
I ’ ll explain why .
First , an example .
I remember a card game when I was younger .
You turn a playing card over to the back and gaze at it while someone else looks at it from the face side .
You try to guess first the color , then the suit , then the number .
As we practiced , we would begin to get it right on all three parts !
More @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it wrong , it was merely because I didn ’ t believe I could get it right .
So what ’ s my point ?
It ’ s this : Who is looking at the card if your body can ’ t see it ?
I ’ ll leave it there for you to ponder except to add that you don ’ t have to be a psychic to do that .
You just have to fly with a different pilot than your body .
Have you ever woken up in the middle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dormant and knew exactly what time it was ?
You look at your watch and go Wow !
That ’ s because you weren ’ t thinking what time it was , you just knew .
You hear stories every day of people who up and quit their mindless , boring jobs and start their internet business , their doll-making enterprise , etc , and made a fortune , all while their friends and family told them how reckless they were , especially if they had families .
Why ?
Same concept as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what does this have to do with the coronavirus ?
Well , if this keeps up , there are going to be , already is , many people out of work , especially non-computer jobs .
What do we do ?
We worry and feel helpless .
Most of our attention , in this state , quite naturally goes to the body and its needs .
Our present is in turmoil , filled with sleepless nights and our future is threatened .
Going back to my story about the playing cards , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cards for us ?
When we continue to fill our minds with doom , that ’ s what we get .
It grows like unwelcome weeds in the garden , chocking off food and flowers that give us life .
Granted this is a disaster the whole planet is experiencing and might very well get worse if the deep state has it ’ s way and we all need to handle the hell out it , what good will come of agreeing with it ?
I admit I need to take my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day in nail-biting mode after my head nearly exploded with new data about what ’ s under the surface .
See the video below .
But you know , I don ’ t simply want to present this video and hope you will do something , that I will do something , that we all do something besides panic and live like impoverished prisoners in isolation , forced to take vaccines as a ticket to acquire our needs .
So let ’ s not envision that .
It ’ s what they want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consciously or not , is what will come to be .
First then , we disagree .
That will include mass protests – online and in the streets as well as massive amounts of education , enlightenment and exposure of their crimes .
What we ’ ve been doing , just many times more .
In quiet moments , we envision what should and will be – a happy , peaceful , productive world .
If this sounds airy-fairy , it really isn ’ t .
The mind and what we create with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have .
It may be the only tool we have left .
But I say , if used well , it will be all we need .
It ’ s how flowers cut through steel .
But the mind needs to be flexible , too , in order to dodge and circumvent the threats and attacks .
In other words , the purpose we have to simply live happily in this affluent country may have to change because it may no longer be possible to follow it , at least for a while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the grocery stores these days , our whole existence as we know and live it might disappear .
Once we truly know what is happening on this planet , it becomes very difficult to doggedly try to keep the status quo , like trying to ram a square peg into a round hole .
In the end , our purpose needs to shift because our survival – mentally , physically and spiritually is severely compromised .
What this shift means is very individual .

But it ’ s hard to think of examples for an unknown world .

Is This Coronavirus Rerouting Your Purpose in Life?
Commentary by: TLB Staff Writer Lucille Femine
I feel fairly certain many of you The Liberty Beacon readers have given thoughts of true purpose more time than other people who are too busy or too worried (more likely the latter) to be heavily concerned about philosophical concerns that they don’t feel puts bread on the table. Their attention is more directed by exaggerated fear-mongering coming from all quarters out to make a buck from their fears. The “Get a job or you won’t survive” advice that starts early in childhood.
Nothing wrong with getting a job. We do need to live comfortably in this very physical world. But if the purpose ends up being whatever feeds your face, then that’s the body living, not you. That’s the body talking to you from its dictatorial throne to: Go buy food! Sleep! Have sex! Again, nothing wrong with these pleasures but do they qualify as high purpose in life, obliterating all else? No.
Some of you have found your purpose and are working with laser attention to get it done, despite all obstacles. Fantastic! Not so for most of humanity. I’ll explain why.
First, an example. I remember a card game when I was younger. You turn a playing card over to the back and gaze at it while someone else looks at it from the face side. You try to guess first the color, then the suit, then the number. As we practiced, we would begin to get it right on all three parts! More often than not, when I got it wrong, it was merely because I didn’t believe I could get it right.
So what’s my point? It’s this: Who is looking at the card if your body can’t see it? I’ll leave it there for you to ponder except to add that you don’t have to be a psychic to do that. You just have to fly with a different pilot than your body.
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with your mind still dormant and knew exactly what time it was? You look at your watch and go Wow! That’s because you weren’t thinking what time it was, you just knew.
You hear stories every day of people who up and quit their mindless, boring jobs and start their internet business, their doll-making enterprise, etc, and made a fortune, all while their friends and family told them how reckless they were, especially if they had families. Why? Same concept as the one above, really.
So what does this have to do with the coronavirus? Well, if this keeps up, there are going to be, already is, many people out of work, especially non-computer jobs. What do we do? We worry and feel helpless. Most of our attention, in this state, quite naturally goes to the body and its needs. Our present is in turmoil, filled with sleepless nights and our future is threatened.
Going back to my story about the playing cards, the question becomes: What’s in the cards for us? When we continue to fill our minds with doom, that’s what we get. It grows like unwelcome weeds in the garden, chocking off food and flowers that give us life.
Granted this is a disaster the whole planet is experiencing and might very well get worse if the deep state has it’s way and we all need to handle the hell out it, what good will come of agreeing with it?
I admit I need to take my own advice because I spent half my day in nail-biting mode after my head nearly exploded with new data about what’s under the surface. See the video below.
But you know, I don’t simply want to present this video and hope you will do something, that I will do something, that we all do something besides panic and live like impoverished prisoners in isolation, forced to take vaccines as a ticket to acquire our needs.
So let’s not envision that. It’s what they want. And what you agree to, consciously or not, is what will come to be. First then, we disagree. That will include mass protests – online and in the streets as well as massive amounts of education, enlightenment and exposure of their crimes. What we’ve been doing, just many times more.
In quiet moments, we envision what should and will be – a happy, peaceful, productive world. If this sounds airy-fairy, it really isn’t. The mind and what we create with it is the most powerful tool we have. It may be the only tool we have left. But I say, if used well, it will be all we need. It’s how flowers cut through steel.
But the mind needs to be flexible, too, in order to dodge and circumvent the threats and attacks. In other words, the purpose we have to simply live happily in this affluent country may have to change because it may no longer be possible to follow it, at least for a while. Like the food not available at the grocery stores these days, our whole existence as we know and live it might disappear.
Once we truly know what is happening on this planet, it becomes very difficult to doggedly try to keep the status quo, like trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. In the end, our purpose needs to shift because our survival – mentally, physically and spiritually is severely compromised.
What this shift means is very individual. Some may decide to hole up in the mountains in a commune. Some who work for a corrupt government may quit and take a simple job if they can find it. But it’s hard to think of examples for an unknown world.
Whatever we do, one’s purpose needs to include saving this world from obliteration, if not the only purpose. I can’t imagine anyone’s purpose not being altered in some way.
Besides being alert and gathering data, calmly observe without fear and you will know what to do. You are powerful.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

The Oath Keeper

There was a time when a handshake meant something .
Before our laws became loop-holes , and irresponsibility and treachery was taught as normal .
A time when a simple signature in India ink , a melted wax droplet on a document stamped with a family crest , or an oath of alliance yelled moments before a battle , brought unbounded strength of purpose , and the courage for true conviction .
When a man finally came to a righteous conclusion , by his own volition , that honor was more important than one ’ s own life , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oath keeper .
The finer parts of America were built on oaths , from the promise of a Policeman who swore to protect and serve , to a military person on the front lines of liberty .
But the foundation of an oath extends to every man , woman and child here in America .
It can be found in an educator who tries so hard to teach students self-worth in a government-run co-op designed system that inspires the opposite , or a foreman standing in consternation as he helps build another skyscraper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same resolute can be traced all the way back to our framers who risked everything , their lives and fortunes , to sign the Declaration of Independence .
And then , with trembling hands , gave us our Constitution and Bill of Rights with prayers that we could keep it , we the people , their children .
Early on Saturday mornings , on a crystalline carpet of dew , glinted under the breath of a chilled mist , single shots would wake New Orleans from under the spreading arms of our dueling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and oaths tested .
You see , men of substance do not spring out of the ground whole , they are self made .
A man of virtue and honor can manifest from any color , religion , or creed , with a virtuous and honorable oath .
A flawed oath , however , will not be followed long , as it is against the very nature of men .
Men know that for an oath to become a viable part of the heart and mind , it has to have one primary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from desert to forest , from the halls of decree to the bowels of the bane , know truth when they hear it .
It is universal , a universal truth that can not be denied .

Our Country , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is being shredded , and in their trusting and shining faces , the faces of our children , you will find the solace and true hope you so longed for , as parents , as teachers , as Americans .
Stand fast with the knowledge that truth is the primary element that can heal us , unite us , as one nation under God .
Only through truth can honor be restored , and so too , a worthy oath .
From an honorable oath a boy is allowed to grow into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flows the hard-won unity of courage and comprehension .
His heart yearns for the balanced fire of justice and truth , and his dreams fly as free as an eagle .
He can tread in both woodland and city with equal stead .
Looking past building or tree he can tell true north from south , by the signs of star and the processions he knows by name .
The knots he ties hold true , and he can climb trees , forge rivers , and travel long distances , where others would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tear in his shirt , and tell you which fruits and seeds are edible , and what are not .

He knows and understands the use of weapons , regarding them as tools .

Like an old frontiersman , a Boy Scout does not flaunt his knowledge and wisdom .
In him is the quiet power that comes from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surely , and answers all questions modestly .
A loud braggart is not challenged , as his wagging tongue and ignorance will be his undoing .
A scout will never fear a bully , but knows that victory can nearly always be won by a seemingly simple method , a good example .
Honor is his most cherished possession .

He patterns his verve from other great Americans , and is prepared to meet the challenges of life , for his God , his countrymen , and his family .
My special thanks to the Boy Scouts of America manuals , where these truths are found between every line .
A thank you to the men of my Troop 185 , attached to St. Raphael Church , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us in the dark .
Thank you for your patience with me , who wanted only to play .
Thank you for standing so tall , with your guiding hands on my head , seeing beyond the boy to the man .
There , between my childish laughter and the lines of truth you so lovingly wanted me to see , my oath finally became the best of me .
I see now , so many years in the making , that there is something far greater than I am , and with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that you taught , this life has had far more value and meaning .
I am so proud to say that I am an oath keeper .
From the Author , Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade , peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts .
Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions , further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forces we can not fathom , powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future , unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt , we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour : Are we going to fight for our master ’ s tyranny , or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution ?
Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty , or the shackles of voluntary servitude ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ profit , or a war to regain our ability to self govern , as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us , their children , as a gift ?
I fear that decision is emanate .
I fear that any decision will be a hard one , but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us .

KEN’S CORNER: The Oath Keeper
By TLB Contributing Author: Ken LaRive
There was a time when a handshake meant something. Before our laws became loop-holes, and irresponsibility and treachery was taught as normal. A time when a simple signature in India ink, a melted wax droplet on a document stamped with a family crest, or an oath of alliance yelled moments before a battle, brought unbounded strength of purpose, and the courage for true conviction. When a man finally came to a righteous conclusion, by his own volition, that honor was more important than one’s own life, from that moment on he was called an oath keeper.
The finer parts of America were built on oaths, from the promise of a Policeman who swore to protect and serve, to a military person on the front lines of liberty. But the foundation of an oath extends to every man, woman and child here in America. It can be found in an educator who tries so hard to teach students self-worth in a government-run co-op designed system that inspires the opposite, or a foreman standing in consternation as he helps build another skyscraper from the residue of 9-11.
That same resolute can be traced all the way back to our framers who risked everything, their lives and fortunes, to sign the Declaration of Independence. And then, with trembling hands, gave us our Constitution and Bill of Rights with prayers that we could keep it, we the people, their children.
Early on Saturday mornings, on a crystalline carpet of dew, glinted under the breath of a chilled mist, single shots would wake New Orleans from under the spreading arms of our dueling oaks, where honor was defended, and oaths tested.
You see, men of substance do not spring out of the ground whole, they are self made. A man of virtue and honor can manifest from any color, religion, or creed, with a virtuous and honorable oath. A flawed oath, however, will not be followed long, as it is against the very nature of men. Men know that for an oath to become a viable part of the heart and mind, it has to have one primary element, truth. Men everywhere, from desert to forest, from the halls of decree to the bowels of the bane, know truth when they hear it. It is universal, a universal truth that cannot be denied.
Boy Scouts of America
The following is the Boy Scout oath, and it projects forward the man he has the potential to become. Take the time and look into the faces of boys reciting this simple and yet profound oath, and you will get a rush of hope that will bring on tears. Our Country, our precious constitution, our hard-won liberty, is being shredded, and in their trusting and shining faces, the faces of our children, you will find the solace and true hope you so longed for, as parents, as teachers, as Americans. Stand fast with the knowledge that truth is the primary element that can heal us, unite us, as one nation under God. Only through truth can honor be restored, and so too, a worthy oath.
The Boy Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
From an honorable oath a boy is allowed to grow into an honorable man…
The Boy Scout of America
In his blood there flows the hard-won unity of courage and comprehension. His heart yearns for the balanced fire of justice and truth, and his dreams fly as free as an eagle. He can tread in both woodland and city with equal stead. Looking past building or tree he can tell true north from south, by the signs of star and the processions he knows by name. The knots he ties hold true, and he can climb trees, forge rivers, and travel long distances, where others would surely fail. He can mend a tear in his shirt, and tell you which fruits and seeds are edible, and what are not. He can cook from a fire he has made from flint and steel, or bow, even on the wettest of days, and aligns himself with friends who he has grown to trust, and who trust him. He knows and understands the use of weapons, regarding them as tools. He promotes safety with every turn. He knows the ways of men, attempts to excel in every aspect of school and sport, but can read the wind for signs of rain too. A scout knows the ways of birds, animals and insects, and can interpret volumes in an animal track. His eyes see many things that others do not, because he realizes he is one with this world. He has come to know that each has their place in God’s creation. Like an old frontiersman, a Boy Scout does not flaunt his knowledge and wisdom. In him is the quiet power that comes from this knowing. He speaks softly and surely, and answers all questions modestly. A loud braggart is not challenged, as his wagging tongue and ignorance will be his undoing. A scout will never fear a bully, but knows that victory can nearly always be won by a seemingly simple method, a good example. Honor is his most cherished possession. His handshake has true meaning, and there is solid strength in a promise. Duty and responsibility forges his free will, and he would rather die than have his honor stained. A Scout wins the confidence and respect of all who know him, for he walks his talk of right and wrong accordingly. A Scout has learned to practice self-control. He realizes that one can never master the problems that life will present without first mastering himself. He guards his temper with pride, kindled by observation, and learns from the mistakes of others. He curbs his appetite, eating only foods that will nourish and make him stronger, never using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs that will poison him, as he desires a clear and active mind, and a healthy and strong body. He never has to run away, or call for help when an accident happens, because he knows what to do. He has prepared himself in mind and spirit for any situation he can think of, and action is second nature to him. A scout is a doer, and his resourcefulness and courage will see him through many an emergency. His primary motivation for action is to put safety of others before his own, and lives the creed of the knight, “Might For Right.” He has empathy for those less fortunate, and aids the helpless and weak. He knows how to walk in another man’s shoes, and has few enemies. He is in constant vigilance, and knows that every deed, no matter how small, has both value and consequence. A scout can make himself known to another scout anywhere in the world by a method only scouts can know. He has brothers of like spirit and mind everywhere on the planet, and knows a hearty welcome. He can talk with another scout without making a sound, or by the clicks he taps in Morse code. A scout is kind to every living thing. He knows that everything has a right to exist in its own way, and his respect for nature is in every act. He leaves in the woods only his footsteps, but takes with him the memory and learning he will carry throughout his life. A scout knows that people will expect more from him then other boys, and he accepts this. He knows that his conduct will reflect every one of the great brotherhood he has accepted and pledged as his own, and he carries his oath deep in his heart. A scout loves his country, knows the history and guiding principles that has formed it, and will serve at a moment’s notice. In uniform, he will salute at attention during the pledge of allegiance, and look at Old Glory with love and respect. He can fold and stow the flag correctly, and understands its symbolism in stars and stripes. A scout knows his country and the men who are in authority to govern. He knows current events, and finds his place in the making of its future. He patterns his verve from other great Americans, and is prepared to meet the challenges of life, for his God, his countrymen, and his family.

My special thanks to the Boy Scouts of America manuals, where these truths are found between every line. A thank you to the men of my Troop 185, attached to St. Raphael Church, and to my father who could find us in the dark. Thank you for your patience with me, who wanted only to play. Thank you for standing so tall, with your guiding hands on my head, seeing beyond the boy to the man. There, between my childish laughter and the lines of truth you so lovingly wanted me to see, my oath finally became the best of me. I see now, so many years in the making, that there is something far greater than I am, and with a moral compass of truth as guide, that you taught, this life has had far more value and meaning.
I am so proud to say that I am an oath keeper.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-25--‘Helicopter Money’: This Is the Game-Changer Geo-Politically

As the US and the UK , to stem Covid-19 infections , adopt a close-to-wartime approach , with intrusive levels of intervention into social life , these governments – as the corollary to lockdown – are proposing massive bail-outs .
At first brush , this may seem both sensible and appropriate .
But wait .
Bailing out what ?
Well , financial markets of course , but then … just about everything : Boeing , the US Shale-oil industry , airlines , the tourist industry , and ( in the US ) every citizen – through posting them a $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this week – or , as is mooted in DC – perhaps one every month .
Great !
Just like Christmas .
The markets crashed : $ ½ Trillion in ‘ liquidity ’ here ; $ 1.5 Tn there – and there – and there .
An alphabet soup of lending facilities — pretty soon you are talking ‘ real money ’ .
The alphabet soup cloaks the collective size of liquidity available to banks .
And likewise for individuals ?
210 million US adults X $ 1,000 , X 12 or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staggering sum of money — closer to $ 4 Tn , or 18 % of US GDP .
Likewise , UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak pledged £330bn , or 15 % of GDP , to support the economy , on top of a three-month mortgage payment holiday and a slew of tax deferments , and to do , as well , “ whatever it takes ” .
So , how come ?
How is this money suddenly available – when we have repeatedly been told in the wake of the 2008 crisis that austerity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , welcome to the ‘ new orthodoxy ’ ( actually it is not new at all : France tried it in the eighteenth century when it ‘ printed ’ the Assignats ) .
Call it ‘ helicopter money ’ , or , the so-called ‘ Modern Monetary Theory ’ : The principle is that it is okay to print money – if governments don ’ t otherwise have it .
The point here is that ‘ helicopter money ’ ( money conjured out of nothing : empty units reflecting no underlying real economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A major paradigm change .
It is the legacy from 2008 .
That was primarily a banking crisis : Printing money seemed to work out pretty well then , in the view of the élites .
The main reason that those ‘ experts ’ have thought that printing money worked in the wake of 2008 was because the Central Banks were able to reflate the financialised asset bubbles .
“ But that wasn ’ t success , that was failure ” , financial guru , Peter Schiff comments .
It was a failure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and even greater debt – which precisely has set us all up for today ’ s crisis : For we are going into this crisis naked of any real tools to deal with supply-shock .
In 2008 , everybody believed the money ‘ printing ’ was temporary : Bank balance sheets were all gummed up ; and the Fed was going to be able afterwards to normalize interest rates , and shrink its balance sheet .
Well , nobody is going to believe that this time .
No , debts will soar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debts .
Yet for today ’ s policy-makers , it all seems so reasonable , so plausible : If the Fed floods the financial system with money , interest rates can stay at zero for ever .
What ’ s not to like about this ?
Certainly , it fits with Trump ’ s real estate career , built on low interest , easy debt .
Governments now may borrow for a hundred years at zero interest ; and banks can lend like fury , as the Fed has dropped the requirement for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loans ( i.e .
to ‘ print ’ more easy credit for the favoured ) .
Better still , governments can just conjure the money out of thin air ( by monetising its debts ) : It can use these funds to bail out all those businesses and citizens adversely affected by Covid-19 , and become heroes .
Welcome to the new ‘ Orthodoxy ’ .
What ’ s the alternative ?
Well , that ’ s the point .
The financialised , monetarist worldview dogmatically pursued through the last decades has left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more money , more liquidity ) .
They have driven the world into this monetarist cul-de-sac .
They will go on doing the same thing ( liquidity and bailouts ) over and over again , and ( per Albert Einstein ) , always hoping for a different and better result .
But it won ’ t work .
It won ’ t work because the problem is not lack of liquidity .
It is that businesses have no business to do – under infection lockdown .
We had better understand the consequences to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This time , the 2008 recipe will not work .
The US is going to be hit hard .
And Americans are only just waking up to this fact .
This New Orthodoxy is no more than a desperate throw of the dice to keep the western hyper-financialised system aloft .
The ‘ mobilised-for-war ’ narrative is an attempt to justify authoritarian measures , and the false bail-out meme : There was no ‘ free money ’ during the Wars .
In the 2008/9 crisis , the public was bemused : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fully .
Only later was it appreciated that the banks were being saved by ‘ socialising ’ their mistakes and losses .
These – the losses – were ‘ socialised ’ i.e .
transferred to the public balance sheet , and the public were told to expect austerity – and pared down health and welfare systems to pay for all these 2008 bail outs .
This time , it is not the banks but corporations and their ‘ junk ’ debt that the Authorities are hoping to preserve in aspic ( just as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In simple terms , it will allow over-leveraged companies to go into even deeper debt – with those loans now backed by the US Federal government .
But , will a better informed public so readily agree that Boeing deserves a $ 60 Bn bailout when all its cash was spent in the last years in buying back its own stock and paying large dividends .
It may be argued that if the money simply is printed , austerity cuts may not be required .
But printing money dilutes the underlying purchasing potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dilution .
That is to say , it is the 60 % who ultimately will pay the cost – again .
The new austerity will be a covert wealth transfer through dilution of peoples ’ purchasing potential .
As Schiff notes , monetary inflation “ is probably not just the worst-case scenario , it ’ s probably the most likely scenario … the laws of economics apply here just like they did in the Weimar Republic of Germany , or in Zimbabwe , or in Venezuela .
If we pursue the same monetary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re going to receive the same monetary outcome they did ( hyperinflation ) ” .
This all may seem a somewhat rarefied argument to some , but the implications ( both political and geo-political ) are huge .
This wartime economic approach – of itself – is not going to bring radical change to our neo-liberalised institutional world , nor reform it .
That window was shut after 2008 .
The reality today is that to ‘ touch ’ the system now might induce a debt-deflation – a prospect which truly terrifies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supply-shock recession .
We are locked in through the errors of the Central Bankers : No wonder the Authorities are trying to kindle a war atmosphere in order to say that ‘ helicopter money ’ is okay .
“ It ’ s wartime ” .
And they will probably order the military out on the streets soon .
Saying what is written here , will soon be held to be ‘ enemy propaganda ’ .
The effect of a war-like command economy will not be to sweep society or the economy onto a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be to re-situate it into the old grooves .
Will anyone believe that in this new ‘ command economy ’ era , the government directed bailouts and the credit lines , will not be channelled principally to the political élites and their allies ?
Yet , just as after the sacrifices of two World Wars , there was ‘ New Deal ’ mood apparent amongst the people .
So it was too , in the wake of 2008 : There were calls for reform to a system that entrenched the richest one per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a return to business as usual .
Policy was deliberately designed to prop up the old system , and make it function as before .
Reform denied .
Today , people are fully focussed on managing their lives under virus lockdown , but the political pendulum has been swinging markedly ( so-called populist politics ) against what is widely perceived as a politically and economically ‘ rigged system ’ .
The question then is , firstly , will US monetary actions succeed ?
Will they succeed in saving the financial system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Well , take the call for helicopter money : the term refers to giving money directly to individuals as if dropping cash on everybody out of a helicopter .
But Schiff points out , that when Milton Friedman ( the father of monetarist economics ) coined the term , he intended it as a joke : And , secondly , will this approach – which anyway is not working , as markets continue to implode – provoke a more concerted opposition to financial excess and inequality in all its various forms ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ neo-liberal system become unstoppable ?
Maybe the ‘ community spirit ’ of suffering the virus together will not be so tolerant of leaders who have failed to take appropriate steps to staunch infection spread in a timely fashion ?
Here , it is the ‘ war ’ on Covid-19 – rather than the other ‘ war ’ to save the economy – that will play a key role in shaping the geo-political future .
Enough people have already commentated on the communal , national sentiment being generated by Corona virus .
Here in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ linked empathetically – as if fighting a common enemy ( which in a way they are ) .
We all feel for the inhabitants of Lombardy and Bergamo .
And , Italians know too , that they are on their own .
This feeling of Euro sauve qui peut ( every country to its own ) is palpable , and not confined to those just outside the EU borders , such as when the Serbian President ( reacting bitterly to news that the EU had imposed an export ban on equipment such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , said : “ International solidarity does not exist .
European solidarity does not exist ” , to which most Italians would have responded ‘ hear , hear ’ .
The only help for Italy arrived from China .
It is the return of the nation-state .
Covid-19 will change the course of Italian politics , as well as determine – in a significant way – the future of the EU .
Let us be clear : The US and the UK can only make those offers of gushing liquidity and bail-outs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They control their own money-supply , their deficits – and to a much lesser extent , have some scope over interest rates .
EU states do not .
And arguments over EU financial mitigation for Covid-19 will ‘ rack ’ EU institutions and unity – perhaps to breaking-point .
And this more general attitude of sauve qui peut and lack of empathy is probably felt nowhere more deeply than in China .
The more so , even than Italy .
China has been denigrated , particularly in America , in a way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Pepe Escobar has written : Europe and America will be facing a very different Chinese-Russian axis in the wake of the Coronavirus .
The gloves are off .
And Europe will be the first to feel the effect : No more Euro prevarication .
That is to say , no more ‘ one foot in ; one foot out ’ in relations with China ( on Huawei 5G – as just one example ) .
Russia and China well understand : Helicopter money , and unparalleled ‘ printed ’ bail-outs , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US dollar is soaring on demand from states who see their own currencies crashing , but who have borrowed in dollars – and see those dollar loans becoming shockingly more costly , day-by-day .
But , the G7 Central Banks finally will have to fight the inflation monster that will be unleashed by their ‘ helicopter theories ’ .
Confidence in the dollar will decline , as more and more dollar helicopter ‘ drops ’ are made .
Interest rates will rise , and western junk debt will become toxic , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ word , the world will come to see the US as much less powerful and less competent than appearances have projected it .

“Among the myriad, earth-shattering geopolitical effects of coronavirus, one is already graphically evident. China has re-positioned itself. For the first time since the start of Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in 1978, Beijing openly regards the US as a threat, as stated a month ago by Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference during the peak of the fight against coronavirus. “Beijing is carefully, incrementally shaping the narrative that, from the beginning of the coronovirus attack, the leadership knew it was under a hybrid war attack. Xi’s terminology is a major clue. He said, on the record, that this was war. And, as a counter-attack, a “people’s war” had to be launched.”
Europe and America will be facing a very different Chinese-Russian axis in the wake of the Coronavirus. The gloves are off. And Europe will be the first to feel the effect: No more Euro prevarication. That is to say, no more ‘one foot in; one foot out’ in relations with China (on Huawei 5G – as just one example).
Russia and China well understand: Helicopter money, and unparalleled ‘printed’ bail-outs, this is the game-changer. For now, the US dollar is soaring on demand from states who see their own currencies crashing, but who have borrowed in dollars – and see those dollar loans becoming shockingly more costly, day-by-day.
But, the G7 Central Banks finally will have to fight the inflation monster that will be unleashed by their ‘helicopter theories’. Confidence in the dollar will decline, as more and more dollar helicopter ‘drops’ are made. Interest rates will rise, and western junk debt will become toxic, and untenable at higher rates.
In a word, the world will come to see the US as much less powerful and less competent than appearances have projected it. Its lacunae will stare out.
Is the time approaching for that global monetary re-set, as the dollar loses its shine, President Putin must be mulling …?

If we didn ’ t know better , we ’ d say this was a vaccine waiting for a disease .

The tendency is towards a Worldwide lockdown spearheaded by fear and media disinformation .
Currently , hundreds of millions of people Worldwide are under lockdown .
What is the next step in the evolution of the COV-19 Crisis ?
A coronavirus vaccine program was announced at Davos at the World Economic Forum ( 21-24 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cornonavirus was identified by the Chinese authorities on January 7 .
The lead entity for the novel coronavirus vaccine initiative is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations ( CEPI ) an organization sponsored and financed by the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Note the chronology : The development of the 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at the Davos World Economic Forum ( WEF ) a week prior to the official launching by the WHO of a Worldwide Public Health Emergency ( January 30 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ confirmed cases ” Worldwide ( outside China ) was 150 ( including 6 in the US ) .
CEPI is seeking a “ monopoly ” role in the vaccination business the objective of which is a “ global vaccine project ” , in partnership with a large number of “ candidates ” .
It announced funding for its existing partnership with Inovio and The University of Queensland ( Australia ) .
In addition , CEPI confirmed ( January 23 ) its contract with Moderna , Inc. and the U.S. National Institute of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci , who has been instrumental in waging the fear and panic campaign across America : “ Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu ” .
It ’ s a boldface Lie , according to the WHO : CEPI is dealing simultaneously with several pharmaceutical companies .
The Moderna- NIAID in all likelihood is slated to implement the COV-19 vaccine in the US .
On January 31st , the day following the WHO ’ s official launching of the pandemic and Trump ’ s decision to curtail air travel with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CureVac AG , a German-based biopharmaceutical company .
A few days later , in early February , CEPI “ announced that major vaccine manufacturer GSK would allow its proprietary adjuvants— compounds that boost the effectiveness of vaccines — to be used in the response ” .
There are many “ potential vaccines in the pipeline ” with “ dozens of research groups around the world racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19 ” .

If we didn’t know better, we’d say this was a vaccine waiting for a disease.
ER Editor: See also this recent piece by F. William Engdahl, Coronavirus and the Gates Foundation, Rushing Out Those Unproven Vaccines .
The tendency is towards a Worldwide lockdown spearheaded by fear and media disinformation. Currently, hundreds of millions of people Worldwide are under lockdown.
What is the next step in the evolution of the COV-19 Crisis?
A coronavirus vaccine program was announced at Davos at the World Economic Forum (21-24 January) barely 2 weeks after the cornonavirus was identified by the Chinese authorities on January 7.
The lead entity for the novel coronavirus vaccine initiative is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) an organization sponsored and financed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Note the chronology: The development of the 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) a week prior to the official launching by the WHO of a Worldwide Public Health Emergency (January 30) at a time when the number of “confirmed cases” Worldwide (outside China) was 150 (including 6 in the US).
CEPI is seeking a “monopoly” role in the vaccination business the objective of which is a “global vaccine project”, in partnership with a large number of “candidates”. It announced funding for its existing partnership with Inovio and The University of Queensland (Australia). In addition, CEPI confirmed (January 23) its contract with Moderna, Inc. and the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been instrumental in waging the fear and panic campaign across America: “Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu”.
It’s a boldface Lie, according to the WHO:
The Central Role of CEPI
CEPI is dealing simultaneously with several pharmaceutical companies. The Moderna- NIAID in all likelihood is slated to implement the COV-19 vaccine in the US.
On January 31st, the day following the WHO’s official launching of the pandemic and Trump’s decision to curtail air travel with China, CEPI announced its partnership with CureVac AG, a German-based biopharmaceutical company. A few days later, in early February, CEPI “announced that major vaccine manufacturer GSK would allow its proprietary adjuvants— compounds that boost the effectiveness of vaccines — to be used in the response”.
There are many “potential vaccines in the pipeline” with “dozens of research groups around the world racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19”.
In turn, the EU and the US are currently competing for the vaccine markets on behalf of powerful pharmaceutical conglomerates, with the European Commission “offering up to €80 million in financial support to the CureVac AG” after it was reported that Trump “was attempting to secure exclusive access to a COVID-19 vaccine it is developing”, under the auspices of NIAID headed byDr. Anthony Fauci.
The October Coronavirus Event 201 Simulation Exercise
The coronavirus was initially named 2019-nCoV by CEPI and the WHO: exactly the same name as that adopted in the WEF-Gates-John Hopkins Event 201 pertaining to a coronavirus simulation exercise held in Baltimore in mid October 2019.
The Event 201 John Hopkins simulation addressed the development of an effective vaccine in response to millions of cases (in the October 2019 simulation) of the 2019 nCoV. The simulation announced a scenario in which the entire population of the planet would be affected. “During the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases [in the simulation] increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe.”
The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.
The COV-19 Global Vaccination Program
CEPI (on behalf of Gates-WEF, which funded the simulation exercise) is currently playing a key role in a large scale (global?) vaccination program in partnership with biotech companies, Big Pharma, government agencies as well as university laboratories.

“We’re having conversations with a broad array of potential partners. And critical to those conversations is: What’s the plan to make very large quantities of vaccine within a time frame that is potentially relevant to what people seem to be increasingly certain will be a pandemic, if it isn’t already there? … [Richard Hatchett, CEPI CEO in interview with stat.news.com]. …
The underlying focus is to develop a global vaccine.
And part of that was doing a global survey of manufacturing capacity to think about where we wanted to plant the manufacturing of any successful products we were able to bring forward.
Of significance, Hackett confirmed that the project to develop a vaccine commenced prior to the discovery and identification of the coronavirus in early January 2020:
“We did that in the last year or so. … We are using the information that we have collected and have that team now thinking about opportunities for scaling vaccines of various different types. That is a work in progress. For some of the technologies the tech transfer [to a manufacturer] may be something that could be done in a time frame that was pertinent to the epidemic, potentially.
I think it is going to be really important to engage those folks who have access to really substantial production capacity. And having the big producers at the table — because of their depth, because of their experience, because of their internal resources — would be very, very important. The candidate vaccines will be very, very quick. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIAID [who has been spreading panic on network TV], is out in public as saying he thinks the clinical trial for the Moderna vaccine may be as early as the spring. (emphasis added)
What is unfolding in real life is in some regards similar to the October 2019 simulation exercise at John Hopkins. The scenario is how to produce millions of vaccine shots on the presumption that the pandemic will spread.
The CEPI sponsored vaccine conglomerates had already planned their investments well in advance of the global Worldwide health emergency.
I [Hackett] think part of the general strategy is to have a large number of candidates. [and] you want to have enough candidates that at least some of them are moving rapidly through the process. And then for each candidate, you need to ask yourself the question: How do you produce that? … [And] how are you going to get to that point with production at a scale that is meaningful in the context of a disease that is going to infect the whole of society?
