A Further View of 5G & the Coronavirus

A Further View of 5G & the Coronavirus
Commentary by TLB Contributing Author: Lucille Femine
Last night, I received a very calming fact from a very reliable source: In Kansas City where I live, there are only seven cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) among three million people in the state of Missouri.
These are the kind of facts we cling to in this surreal environment we are all subjected to. However, it fights with the data predicted by doctors and government experts who talk at White house briefings. Simply by urging us to practice “social distancing”, a very distasteful term, we are thrown back to worry and fear. More basically, such a prohibition tears at the very core and joy of life – the sharing, loving and communicating in close distances with others, often OUTSIDE OUR HOMES.
Possibly I am devaluing the emergency and being too rebellious, but I just keep working, going shopping without considering at all I might get infected. I don’t even think about it. I see my friends and don’t distress at how many inches I am from them. We want to be and act normal. We are an affluent country and, in particular, we don’t worry about buying all the food we need. I didn’t, even after hearing about the insane plunder at groceries stores.
That is, until I arrived at Trader Joe’s yesterday and Costco, soon after. Empty shelves after empty shelves of all the foods I needed and wanted. We stood there gaping and turning slowly from one aisle to the next. I didn’t live through the Great Depression or any other time of extreme scarcity but I was strongly reminded of it. How long will this go on was my uppermost concern.
At Costco, we had to wait in a single line outside the store until enough people left the store so no one would get infected. Geez! This LOOKED like a terrible disaster but I had to almost laugh – if I wasn’t so pissed off. I uttered a record number of “damns” and “this is bullshit”.
I examined my ridicule and realized it’s because my thought keeps going back to: what is the true source of this virus? Recently I wrote an article for The Liberty Beacon featuring a video about the installment of 5G in Wuhan and the occurrence of the coronavirus not long after. This led me to the question: how many people actually are getting ill by contagion? In other words, since exposure to 5G does cause real flu-like symptoms, are these a secondary cause of contagion which includes people who have had no exposure to heavy 5G?
The related question I have searched for and not yet found is how many people infected had been in contact with someone who had been overseas? All we see are statistics of how many people are infected and how many have died. The percentages are very low but that doesn’t stop many newscasters from predicting thousands or millions will get ill or die from it. That’s more fantasy than thinking it’s natural – fantasy laced with rumor-mongering.
I’m presenting this view because, first of all, who really believes this virus is “natural”? Whether it comes from 5G or some other source, it’s absurd or naïveté to think it came from Mother Nature. That’s like saying an artificial arm is natural. I’d like to think I am too fact-based now to be conspiracy-inclined. Well, at least I have learned from my incidents of accepting sensational explanations with not enough attention to exploring it’s truth.
However, does it make you wonder: Is this intentional? Do the evil bankers and friends start chewing their knuckles at the horrible thought of citizens in many places dropping all the arguing, hating and disagreeing in favor of honest, real live talk, harmony and respect? Are they terrified of all the signs of a spiritual revival? Do they have nightmares about it?
Religion always grows in times of disaster. As well it should. And they hate that. It’s their greatest enemy and one thing they try to banish, along with marriage, true art, human rights, free speech and a healthy, independent economy where we can all prosper. These things don’t make slaves.
Are they terrified of this country continuing to become miraculously more prosperous in the coming years as Trump leads the way? Something had to give, right? It’s real to me that the very real possibility that Trump’s re-election was a shoe-in had to be dealt with.
Whether this virus was the trigger to create this threatened destruction is not certain but the forces against him are very apparent, as we know. I’m reminded of the prosperity Kaddafi created for the citizens of Libya before he was brutally assassinated. I shutter to think this will be repeated at the crux of overcoming oppression occurring now.
The last thing I want to present is a fascinating, short video which also talks about 5G and the virus. Only this one goes further with its historical cause. After I watched it, I wondered if the dangerous amounts of electromagnetic fields is the product of pure stupidity or outright evil, especially after it has been proven to be destructive to bodies. I’ll leave that up to your own conclusions.

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-19--China Locked into Hybrid War with US

China Locked into Hybrid War with US

And don ’ t forget the murder ( arguably so ) of Iran ’ s Qassem Soleimani , which is still to be played out fully .
Social media users have responded appropriately to Mike I-Lied-For-The-CIA Pompeo ’ s response .
And on the very subject of the wretched CIA , we recommend this : Was Coronavirus a Biowarfare Attack Against China ?
A Veteran Insider Speaks Out .
“ Instead of focusing on the needs of the Iranian people and accepting genuine offers of support , senior Iranians lied about the Wuhan virus outbreak for weeks , ” Pompeo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department of State .
( ER : so this is a reason to attack the Iranian people further through sanctions ? )
Even as the world is in a crisis not seen since WWII , Trump and Pompeo ’ s “ maximum pressure ” campaign is on , apparently .
And the Secretary of State ’ s rhetoric was more heated and insulting than ever , declaring “ The Wuhan virus is a killer and the Iranian regime is an accomplice.
” Over the past month leaders in Tehran have been pleading for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consistently pointing out that the US sanctions regimen is making the pandemic worse , restricting the medicines and equipment crucial to both treating Covid-19 and mitigating the spread .
ER Editor : In addition to China , let ’ s remind ourselves of the US deep state ’ s attitude toward Iran at a time of utter crisis .
See this Zerohedge report of today titled US ‘ Help ’ To Virus-Stricken Iran Comes In The Form Of… More Sanctions Of Course !
.
Of note : Moreover , he described the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a Confucianist .
Unlike some other ancient Chinese thinkers , Confucius was loath to discuss supernatural forces and judgment in the afterlife .
However , in a Chinese cultural context , devil means “ white devils ” or “ foreign devils ” : guailo in Mandarin , gweilo in Cantonese .
This was Xi delivering a powerful statement in code .
When Zhao Lijian , a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry , voiced in an incandescent tweet the possibility that “ it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this effect to come from a top official – Beijing was sending up a trial balloon signaliing that the gloves were finally off .
Zhao Lijian made a direct connection with the Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019 , which included a delegation of 300 US military .
He directly quoted US CDC director Robert Redfield who , when asked last week whether some deaths by coronavirus had been discovered posthumously in the US , replied that “ some cases have actually been diagnosed this way in the US today.
” Zhao @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was already in effect in the US before being identified in Wuhan – due to the , by now , fully documented inability of US to test and verify differences compared with the flu .
Adding all that to the fact that coronavirus genome variations in Iran and Italy were sequenced and it was revealed they do not belong to the variety that infected Wuhan , Chinese media are now openly asking questions and drawing a connection with the shutting down in August last year of the “ unsafe ” military bioweapon lab @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the Wuhan epidemic .
Some of these questions had been asked – with no response – inside the US itself .
Extra questions linger about the opaque Event 201 in New York on October 18 , 2019 : a rehearsal for a worldwide pandemic caused by a deadly virus – which happened to be coronavirus .
This magnificent coincidence happened one month before the outbreak in Wuhan .
Event 201 was sponsored by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) , the CIA , Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The World Military Games opened in Wuhan on the exact same day .
Irrespective of its origin , which is still not conclusively established , as much as Trump tweets about the “ Chinese virus , ” Covid-19 already poses immensely serious questions about biopolitics ( where ’ s Foucault when we need him ? )
and bio-terror .
The working hypothesis of coronavirus as a very powerful but not Armageddon-provoking bio-weapon unveils it as a perfect vehicle for widespread social control – on a global scale .
Just as a fully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week was a graphic demonstration to the whole planet that China , with immense sacrifice , is winning the “ people ‘ s war ” against Covid-19 , Russia , in a Sun Tzu move on Riyadh , whose end result was a much cheaper barrel of oil , helped for all practical purposes to kick-start the inevitable recovery of the Chinese economy .
This is how a strategic partnership works .
The chessboard is changing at breakneck speed .
Once Beijing identified coronavirus as a bio-weapon attack , the “ people ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full force of the state .
Methodically .
On a “ whatever it takes ” basis .
Now we are entering a new stage , which will be used by Beijing to substantially recalibrate the interaction with the West , and under very different frameworks when it comes to the US and the EU .
Soft power is paramount .
Beijing sent an Air China flight to Italy carrying 2,300 big boxes full of masks bearing the script , “ We are waves from the same sea , leaves from the same tree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China also sent a hefty humanitarian package to Iran , significantly aboard eight flights from Mahan Air – an airline under illegal , unilateral Trump administration sanctions .
( ER : it ’ s also helping Spain and France where the EU has simply failed . )
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic could not have been more explicit : Under harsh sanctions and demonized since forever , Cuba is still able to perform breakthroughs – even on biotechnology .
The anti-viral Heberon – or Interferon Alpha 2b – a therapeutic , not a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the treatment of coronavirus .
A joint venture in China is producing an inhalable version , and at least 15 nations are already interested in importing the therapeutic .
Now compare all of the above with the Trump administration offering $ 1 billion to poach German scientists working at biotech firm Curevac , based in Thuringia , on an experimental vaccine against Covid-19 , to have it as a vaccine “ only for the United States.
” Sandro Mezzadra , co-author with Brett Neilson of the seminal The Politics of Operations : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to conceptualize where we stand now in terms of fighting Covid-19 .
We are facing a choice between a Malthusian strand – inspired by social Darwinism – “ led by the Johnson-Trump-Bolsonaro axis ” and , on the other side , a strand pointing to the “ requalification of public health as a fundamental tool , ” exemplified by China , South Korea and Italy .
There are key lessons to be learned from South Korea , Taiwan and Singapore .
The stark option , Mezzadra notes , is between a “ natural @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dead , and “ defending society ” by employing “ variable degrees of authoritarianism and social control.
” It ’ s easy to imagine who stands to benefit from this social re-engineering , a 21st century remix of Poe ’ s The Masque of the Red Death .
Amid so much doom and gloom , count on Italy to offer us Tiepolo-style shades of light .
Italy chose the Wuhan option , with immensely serious consequences for its already fragile economy .
Quarantined Italians remarkably reacted by singing on their balconies : a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to mention the poetic justice of the actual St. Corona ( “ crown ” in Latin ) being buried in the city of Anzu since the 9th century .
St. Corona was a Christian killed under Marcus Aurelius in 165 AD , and has been for centuries one of the patron saints of pandemics .
Not even trillions of dollars raining from the sky by an act of divine Fed mercy were able to cure Covid-19 .
G-7 “ leaders ” had to resort to a videoconference to realize how clueless they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against coronavirus gave the West a head start of several weeks .
Shanghai-based Dr. Zhang Wenhong , one of China ’ s top infectious disease experts , whose analyses have been spot on so far , now says China has emerged from the darkest days in the “ people ’ s war ” against Covid-19 .
But he does not think this will be over by summer .
Now extrapolate what he ’ s saying to the Western world .
It ’ s not even spring yet , and we already know it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Goddess of the Market .
Last Friday , Goldman Sachs told no fewer than 1,500 corporations that there was no systemic risk .
That was false .
New York banking sources told me the truth : systemic risk became way more severe in 2020 than in 1979 , 1987 or 2008 because of the hugely heightened danger that the $ 1.5 quadrillion derivative market would collapse .
As the sources put it , history had never before seen anything like the Fed ’ s intervention via its little understood elimination of commercial bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expansion of credit to prevent a derivative implosion stemming from a total commodity and stock market collapse of all stocks around the world .
Those bankers thought it would work , but as we know by now , all the sound and fury signified nothing .
The ghost of a derivative implosion – in this case not caused by the previous possibility , the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz ( pictured ) – remains .
We are still barely starting to understand the consequences of Covid-19 for the future of neoliberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the whole global economy has been hit by an insidious , literally invisible circuit breaker .

Cuba rises as a biotech power
Just as a fully masked Xi visiting the Wuhan frontline last week was a graphic demonstration to the whole planet that China, with immense sacrifice, is winning the “people‘s war” against Covid-19, Russia, in a Sun Tzu move on Riyadh, whose end result was a much cheaper barrel of oil, helped for all practical purposes to kick-start the inevitable recovery of the Chinese economy.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic could not have been more explicit:
“The only country that can help us is China. By now, you all understood that European solidarity does not exist. That was a fairy tale on paper.”
Under harsh sanctions and demonized since forever, Cuba is still able to perform breakthroughs – even on biotechnology.

Social engineering psy-op?
Sandro Mezzadra, co-author with Brett Neilson of the seminal The Politics of Operations: Excavating Contemporary Capitalism, is already trying to conceptualize where we stand now in terms of fighting Covid-19.
We are facing a choice between a Malthusian strand – inspired by social Darwinism – “led by the Johnson-Trump-Bolsonaro axis” and, on the other side, a strand pointing to the “requalification of public health as a fundamental tool,” exemplified by China, South Korea and Italy. There are key lessons to be learned from South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.
The stark option, Mezzadra notes, is between a “natural population selection,” with thousands of dead, and “defending society” by employing “variable degrees of authoritarianism and social control.” It’s easy to imagine who stands to benefit from this social re-engineering, a 21st century remix of Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.
Amid so much doom and gloom, count on Italy to offer us Tiepolo-style shades of light. Italy chose the Wuhan option, with immensely serious consequences for its already fragile economy. Quarantined Italians remarkably reacted by singing on their balconies: a true act of metaphysical revolt.
Not to mention the poetic justice of the actual St. Corona (“crown” in Latin) being buried in the city of Anzu since the 9th century. St. Corona was a Christian killed under Marcus Aurelius in 165 AD, and has been for centuries one of the patron saints of pandemics.
Not even trillions of dollars raining from the sky by an act of divine Fed mercy were able to cure Covid-19. G-7 “leaders” had to resort to a videoconference to realize how clueless they are – even as China’s fight against coronavirus gave the West a head start of several weeks.
Shanghai-based Dr. Zhang Wenhong, one of China’s top infectious disease experts, whose analyses have been spot on so far, now says China has emerged from the darkest days in the “people’s war” against Covid-19. But he does not think this will be over by summer. Now extrapolate what he’s saying to the Western world.
It’s not even spring yet, and we already know it takes a virus to mercilessly shatter the Goddess of the Market. Last Friday, Goldman Sachs told no fewer than 1,500 corporations that there was no systemic risk. That was false.
New York banking sources told me the truth: systemic risk became way more severe in 2020 than in 1979, 1987 or 2008 because of the hugely heightened danger that the $1.5 quadrillion derivative market would collapse.

We are still barely starting to understand the consequences of Covid-19 for the future of neoliberal turbo-capitalism. What’s certain is that the whole global economy has been hit by an insidious, literally invisible circuit breaker. This may be just a “coincidence.” Or this may be, as some are boldly arguing, part of a possible, massive psy-op creating the perfect geopolitical and social engineering environment for full-spectrum dominance.
Additionally, along the hard slog down the road, with immense, inbuilt human and economic sacrifice, with or without a reboot of the world-system, a more pressing question remains: will imperial elites still choose to keep waging full-spectrum-dominance hybrid war against China?

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-19--‘Helicopter Money’ Is The New Orthodoxy Leaving Europe In An “Inescapable Negative Feedback Loop”

Governments around the globe have pledged trillions to address the Virus Pandemic .
It doesn ’ t matter if markets aren ’ t convinced .
Yesterday ’ s bout of coordinated Global Spending promises are about keeping populations safe and secure by protecting the global economy from the Virus uncertainty .
The Pandemic is being addressed !
This is the big test of our epoch .
Break out the optimism !
UK – WOW : Hats Off to Boris and Sunak Despite my earlier misgivings about Rishi Sunak as Chancellor , he and Boris delivered a BLINDER yesterday – a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Virus Crisis with far less collateral damage than we ever expected .
Sunak comes across very well .
He sounds competent , balanced and focused… When you ’ ve got Boris as premier.. that ’ s a very good thing .
Is it enough to stop the market panic and signal it ’ s time to start buying UK Inc ?
Maybe..
It certainly feels like the end of the beginning with real support thrown under the UK .
Something firm now underlies the market .
There will still be shocks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
There will still be problems .
I notice another UK real money account gating property fund exits , the continued collapse in corporate bond spreads , and lingering doubts about growth .
And I ’ m told the new Pireaus Bank Tier 1 CoCo bond is trading in the low 40s a month after it was launched.. Ouch..
The big danger for the UK is not about what we do internally , but how well the rest of the global economy adapts and responds to the virus .
If the world crashes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virus , the UK will not be immune .
Yesterday morning I was negative and extremely bearish on the long-term consequences on economies of the virus – how massive job losses , consumer stress , mortgage defaults , SME collapse , corporate defaults , and lost orders would create long-term depression .
I saw zero chance of a V-Shaped recovery in the wake of the virus .
Now , I ’ m feeling positive for Britain .
The lads addressed my fears .
The package won ’ t be perfect , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This morning I ’ m smiling , and whistling the theme tune to Dad ’ s Army as the UK ’ s wartime economy rolls into gear .

Helicopters = Orthodoxy
“Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. It is unconsciousness.”
Governments around the globe have pledged trillions to address the Virus Pandemic. It doesn’t matter if markets aren’t convinced. Yesterday’s bout of coordinated Global Spending promises are about keeping populations safe and secure by protecting the global economy from the Virus uncertainty.
The Pandemic is being addressed! This is the big test of our epoch. Break out the optimism!
UK – WOW: Hats Off to Boris and Sunak
Despite my earlier misgivings about Rishi Sunak as Chancellor, he and Boris delivered a BLINDER yesterday – a package likely to get the UK through the Virus Crisis with far less collateral damage than we ever expected. Sunak comes across very well. He sounds competent, balanced and focused… When you’ve got Boris as premier.. that’s a very good thing.
Is it enough to stop the market panic and signal it’s time to start buying UK Inc? Maybe.. It certainly feels like the end of the beginning with real support thrown under the UK. Something firm now underlies the market. There will still be shocks to come.. but hey-ho… let’s go!
There will still be problems. I notice another UK real money account gating property fund exits, the continued collapse in corporate bond spreads, and lingering doubts about growth. And I’m told the new Pireaus Bank Tier 1 CoCo bond is trading in the low 40s a month after it was launched.. Ouch.. The big danger for the UK is not about what we do internally, but how well the rest of the global economy adapts and responds to the virus. If the world crashes into depression as a result of the Virus, the UK will not be immune.
Yesterday morning I was negative and extremely bearish on the long-term consequences on economies of the virus – how massive job losses, consumer stress, mortgage defaults, SME collapse, corporate defaults, and lost orders would create long-term depression. I saw zero chance of a V-Shaped recovery in the wake of the virus.
Now, I’m feeling positive for Britain. The lads addressed my fears. The package won’t be perfect, but it’s a massive step towards stability. This morning I’m smiling, and whistling the theme tune to Dad’s Army as the UK’s wartime economy rolls into gear. (It was Feb 26th when I wrote the UK would need to take a wartime approach to the economic consequences of the virus!)
The “Do-What-Ever-It-Takes” Sunak package might not have been fully thought through, or completely watertight. The devil will be in the detail and they will patching over holes like exactly how it will work, including protection for renters in next days. But.. it should do pretty much exactly what is needed: Providing Protection for the ECONOMY and the POPULATION from financial uncertainty through the crisis. It’s a wartime economy solution that is going to substantially mitigate the negative effects of the virus. It’s great to hear a Tory government talking to the unions.
You can tell it’s good because opposition leaders are struggling to say anything substantial to knock it down.
The rise in government bond yields over the week in the US (10-year T-Bond from 0.6 to 1%) and UK (10-year gilts from 0.10 to 0.5%) highlights some concern about the amount of money being pledged.. but.. relax.. We are not headed towards a bond cliff – for sovereign bonds. (QE can ensure that..) The real issue for government bonds and gold is they are the only assets funds that have been thumped with margin calls can sell to raise cash!
Sunak and Boris threw away the rules and economic orthodoxy. They have promised £350 bln immediately and as much more as it takes. How can the UK afford it is not important, and probably irrelevant. We spent much more on bailing out useless banks in 2008. The Hardest Working Civil Servants; the UK’s Debt Management Office, will spirit up the money from somewhere, or working with The Bank will conjure it up by some slight of the fiscal hand, imaginative accounting and a bit of (as yet undiscovered) Haldane magic. Don’t worry.. the money will just appear…
That’s the great thing about being a country that owns the keys to its own printing presses and can make as much money as it needs. Functional Money Trees are a credibility game; If the UK retains credibility, then we don’t need to worry about devaluation and importing inflation. Let’s move on with recovery.
USA – Less Convincing
Effectively the USA is doing the same thing but with slightly less conviction. Trump talked big, but delivered less – it was clear he is not a believer. The deal was further pumped, and the market looks unconvinced. There is still much to be addressed, but I suspect the Americans are waking up to a new reality about their society: There is a superb article everyone should read on Bloomberg this morning: Americans Forgot the Economy’s Purpose – Until Coronavirus. Let me quote from it:
“Since the 1980s the US has equated economic health with a rising market and ever-increasing corporate profits. They are necessary to a healthy economy, but are ultimately just a means to an end. The end is the welfare of citizens.”
I think Boris gets it – my vote was not wasted after all. But Trump does not get it all.
In particular, Hats Off to Katie Porter, a California Democrat. She grilled Trump’s Department of Health and Human services Yes-Man about the cost of a coronavirus test in the US. It will surprise European readers to know that’s the cost a patient has to pay for the test. Americans seem to think all Europeans are “goddam commies” because we have free health provision.
The guy refused to answer – she knew: $1,331 with additional insurance costs on top is what a US patient will pay for a Virus test. (The government chap reluctantly said tests will be made free.) You can understand why the bulk of low paid, barely solvent US workers will baulk at paying for a test, or skipping work through sickness.
To quote again from the Bloomberg article:
“The great failing of the government’s response to the financial crisis is that it puts the needs of companies over the needs of the people. The tragedy of this economic crisis is that while companies seem to have learned their lesson, the Trump administration has not.”
The consensus I heard from the US y’day was lacklustre on the Trump package – too small, not focused, and will need to be much better.. Relax – we all know it will be all right: Americans always do the right thing – after exhausting every other possibility first..
Yoorp – Big worries
France, Germany, Spain and Italy are going large in terms of the money they are pledging to support business and consumers. (First word on the French spending list was Nationalisation.. it always is..)
However, there is a problem. Unlike the UK and the USA, Europe does not have access to a healthy money tree fruiting unlimited amounts of Euros. ECB President Christine Lagarde has already let loose the crisis after her screwed up comment about not being there to keep spreads tight. Italy bonds have suffered – ballooning wider.
But what can Legarde realistically do? She is a politician with a smattering of banker-speak. She was put in place by Macron to solve a political problem – which boils down to getting Germany to agree to German workers funding French pensions and busted Italian banks… It might have been achievable in good times in the name of a closer, more unified Europe..
But no one in the Rich North is likely to listen or prioritise closer economic union now. They are focused on the domestic politics of immigration, replacing Merkel or jobs, and, of course, the virus.. They might only start to pay attention as the Euro unwinds again.. and may be not even then in the wake of Brexit and 10-years of economic underperformance in Southern Europe’s periphery. It’s likely the Euro will wibble on, and we’ll get a succession of long-passes down that long and winding road.
The problem for Europe is this needs a coordinated Euro-Wide response now. It needs desperately to dispense with all the Euro’s deficit rules and come up with a coherent wartime economic rescue plan – a Marshal Plan Mark 2 – to get Europe through the crisis. But how could that happen with the ECB being a monetary central bank with no political power? Does anyone believe Lagarde is the right person to deliver it?
The key issue is even more insidious. Without clear direction, countries will continue to diverge from the Euro rules, making it less and less sustainable. Meanwhile, Europe is going to fall further and further behind in terms of growth and struggle to avoid deeper recession escalating job losses. It looks mired in an inescapable negative feedback loop.
Sell BTPS.. and sell some more… and add Bonos to the list
I reckon the Anglo Saxons may get an unexpected economic boom similar to what happened in 1940s and beyond from an easy money “wartime virus” economy.. As the UK and USA free themselves from the shackles of monetary orthodoxy by announcing Draghi-esque “do whatever it takes spending binges” – because they can, Yoorp struggles on trying to use someone else’s currency… which is never going to be a good thing when the crying need is for fiscal spending, helicopter money, massive tax and lending programmes, while the deficit rules demand austerity!
What we will see next is the US and UK spend their way out of trouble… a massive demand side boost as confidence returns, a wave of SME investment as they sup at the trough of government benevolence, and hopefully a gesture towards paying for it by taxing the bejesus out the rich…

thelibertybeacon--2020-03-20--LISTEN: CBC Radio Cuts Off Expert When He Questions Covid19 Narrative

A phone interview with a respected physician appears to have been cut short by CBC Radio when the Doctor went off-script Dr Joel Kettner phoned into the March 15th episode of CBC ’ s Cross Country Checkup podcast to discuss the Canadian ( and international ) reaction to the Covid19 pandemic .
He was in the middle of making a point about statistics when the host abruptly cut him off .
To be clear , Dr Kettner is not a fringe or controversial character .
He is professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University , former Chief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases .
He was interviewed on Global News in January , when the pandemic was first hitting the news .
His comments are informative and interesting , but the host ’ s reaction perhaps more so .
Listen below ( starting at around 1 hour 12 minutes in ) , or we have transcribed them for you .
Duncan McCue ( DM , Host ) : Dr Joel Kettner is on the line from Manitoba .
Hi , Dr Kettner welcome to Checkup .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are former Chief Medical Officer of Manitoba , I understand .
So what do you think of how we are coping right now ?
Dr Joel Kettner ( JK ) : Well I don ’ t know what to think , frankly , but I ’ ll tell you what I do think .
First , I wan na say that in 30 years of public health medicine I have never seen anything like this , anything anywhere near like this .
I ’ m not talking about the pandemic , because I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one every year .
It is called influenza .
And other respiratory illness viruses , we don ’ t always know what they are .
But I ’ ve never seen this reaction , and I ’ m trying to understand why .
I have to say that I really feel for my colleagues that are in public health practice .
it is easy for me to sit in the armchair of my office and look at this and observe it , and be critical and have ideas .
But I really feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that the data they are getting is incomplete to really make sense of the size of the threat .
We are getting very crude numbers of cases and deaths , very little information about testing rates , contagious analysis , severity rates , who is being hospitalised , who is in intensive care , who is dying , what are the definitions to decide if someone died of the coronavirus or just died with the coronavirus .
There is so much important data that is very hard to get to guide the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
The other part is we actually do not have that much good evidence for the social distancing methods .
It was just a couple of reviews in the CDC emerging infectious disease journal , which showed that although some of them might work , we really don ’ t know to what degree and the evidence is pretty weak .
The third part is the pressure that is being put on public health doctors and public health leaders .
And that pressure is coming from various places .
The first place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the World Health Organization ( WHO ) when he said “ This is a grave threat and a public enemy number one ” .
I have never heard a Director-General of WHO use terms like that .
Then when he announced the pandemic , he said he was doing it “ because of a grave alarming quick spread of the disease and an alarming amount of inaction around the world ” that puts a huge pressure on public health doctors and leaders and advisors and huge pressure on governments , and then you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of decision making that really puts pressure on the countries and governments – provincial , state – to sort of…to keep up with this action that Dr Hoffman [ an earlier guest on the programme ] said that we are trying to avoid , or should avoid , which is an overreaction .
I don ’ t know what is an appropriate reaction , but I do know that I am having trouble trying to figure this out and I… DM : …So I ’ m sure that your medical colleagues across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you say they don ’ t have enough data , that they lack data .
I suspect health professionals around the world wish they had more data , whether it is testing rates , severity rates , all that kind of thing .
So it ’ s probably a valid concern .
But you mentioned that you are not confident with some of the literature with regard to social distancing and its effectiveness [ … ] What is the basis of your concern then ?
If social distancing is debatable in your mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
JK : I worry about the consequences of social distancing .
I worry about people who are losing their jobs .
I worry about interruptions with the healthcare system itself .
There are many doctors in Manitoba in quarantine right now , because they have returned from other countries .
I worry about the message to the public , about the fear of coming into contact with people , being in the same space as people , shaking their hands , having meetings with people .
I worry about many , many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at the data for what we are actually dealing with , I want to give this example .
In Hubei , in the province of Hubei , where there has been the most cases and deaths by far , the actual number of cases reported is 1 per 1,000 people and the actual rate of deaths reported is 1 per 20,000 .
So maybe that would help to put things into perspective , as to the actual rate and risks of this condition , because it is a lot lower in any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Italy , and certainly in Canada and the United States… [ INTERRUPTED BY HOST AGAIN , INTERVIEW OVER ]

[INTERRUPTED BY HOST AGAIN, INTERVIEW OVER]


thelibertybeacon--2020-03-20--Members of Congress Have a New Strategy for Ethics Investigations: Stonewalling

Members of Congress Have a New Strategy for Ethics Investigations : Stonewalling Rep. Rashida Tlaib , the freshman Democrat from Michigan , faced allegations that she improperly paid herself a salary from her campaign account , including a bulk payment of $ 15,500 after the election was over .
Tlaib told reporters the payments were proper .
But when the Office of Congressional Ethics , the House ’ s independent , nonpartisan watchdog , asked to interview her , the congresswoman refused .
So did her staffers who had been involved with the payments .
Tlaib , who resides on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isn ’ t alone in this response when OCE came calling .
Other lawmakers who stonewalled include a Virginia Republican who allegedly sent his House staff on personal errands , including picking up milk and caring for his dog , and a Freedom Caucus lawmaker from North Carolina who continued to pay his chief of staff even after barring him after accusations of sexual harassment .
Indeed , House members and staffers of both parties are increasingly dodging ethics investigators .
The last decade showed a sharp drop in cooperation starting in mid-2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of distinct cases subjects cooperated fully , providing interviews and documents as requested , according to a ProPublica review of every case in which OCE found a potential violation .
Since then , full cooperation has plummeted to just 33 % of cases .
Today , it ’ s common for lawmakers from both parties to refuse not just some requests for interviews and documents from OCE , but all of them .
In the last four years , subjects in 11 of 18 distinct cases refused any cooperation whatsoever .
In the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just three such cases out of 43 .
Congress created OCE , which has a 10-person staff , in 2008 after a string of scandals on the Hill cast doubt over whether the House ethics committee , led by lawmakers , could effectively root out corruption in its own ranks .
OCE , however , was not granted subpoena power , so it still relies on the committee to compel interviews and documents from uncooperative subjects .
The reasons offered for the increased obstruction vary .
Despite lacking subpoena power , OCE is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may prefer trying their luck with the committee .
The committee has a reputation for moving more slowly , being more deferential to members and being willing to resolve some matters confidentially .
One case , involving alleged financial improprieties by Rep. David Schweikert , R-Ariz. , has languished in the committee for almost two years .
( He has defended his actions . )
In addition , some observers suggest that President Donald Trump has licensed resistance to outside scrutiny , as officials from his White House have ignored congressional subpoenas and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller .
The drop in cooperation represents the latest attempt by lawmakers of both parties to push back on the watchdog .
In 2010 , Democrats from the Congressional Black Caucus tried unsuccessfully to curtail OCE ’ s ability to publicize its findings .
In 2017 , after Trump was elected , House Republicans attempted to limit OCE ’ s independence , but they failed after the move drew widespread outrage .
Unable to legislate changes to its mission , some lawmakers have figured out a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the body .
Unlike past efforts , the refusal to cooperate requires no rule changes , and it has been quietly playing out on a case-by-case basis .
Craig Holman , a veteran observer of congressional investigations and a lobbyist for the watchdog group Public Citizen , said ProPublica ’ s review showed “ a breathtaking shift in cooperation rates.
” “ This shift vastly bolsters the need to grant OCE with subpoena authority , ” he said .
Omar Ashmawy , director of OCE , acknowledged a recent decline in cooperation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committee for further review .
“ Perhaps due to the advice of some counsel , ” he said .
The pool of Washington lawyers who represent lawmakers before OCE is small .
In interviews with ProPublica , several of those lawyers , representing both Republicans and Democrats , said they generally believe their clients are better off dealing with the committee instead of OCE .
Robert K. Kelner , a Republican attorney at Covington & Burling , said the shift against cooperating was due to OCE tactics he called aggressive and unfair .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ among the bar of lawyers who practice before the ethics committee that the ethics committee follows a much more fair process than OCE , ” he said .
“ If you have a choice of waiting to have your case heard by a body that will abide by basic norms of due process , why wouldn ’ t you wait for that ?
” Kelner lauded the committee for sometimes resolving cases privately , unlike OCE : “ What we should care about is whether they ’ re causing members to comply with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s done publicly or whether they make a spectacle of it.
” Among the complaints from defense attorneys about OCE is that the body ascribes guilt to lawmakers for not cooperating , accepts anonymous complaints and pressures members to make their staffers cooperate as well .
Another Washington attorney , who represents Democrats and would not speak on the record out of fear of antagonizing OCE , agreed that the committee has a tendency to move more slowly than OCE , but said that was a sign of more professional and thorough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different .
OCE has more of an incentive to draw attention and make waves .
Most of the time the committee is trying to figure out how to help members basically comply , ” the attorney said .
“ They send them a private letter and ask them not to do it again , and generally it has the desired effect.
” A third ethics lawyer , who also requested anonymity for similar reasons , said when clients are guilty , or if they possess documents that implicate them , it may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voluntarily turn that information over to OCE .
While OCE does make its findings public in cases in which it finds potential violations — creating negative press for members of Congress — it has no authority to formally reprimand lawmakers on its own .
OCE refers such cases to the committee , which then decides whether to conduct its own investigation , and ultimately whether to discipline lawmakers .
“ Even if the stakes are higher with the ethics committee , you probably have a better shot of having it shut down , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , OCE referred the case of Rep. Roger Williams , R-Texas , who owns a car dealership and pushed a provision to allow car dealerships to continue renting out vehicles subject to safety recalls .
Williams did not cooperate with OCE , refusing to provide documents or sit down for an interview .
In its report , OCE concluded “ there is substantial reason to believe that Representative Williams ’ personal financial interest in his auto dealership may be perceived as having influenced his performance of official duties.
” But the committee decided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though it found he “ may have had some personal financial interest in the adoption of his amendment , ” the committee dismissed any such financial interest as “ speculative and hypothetical.
” How much loaning cars out increased the lawmaker ’ s profits , and how much banning recalled cars would hurt his profits , was “ unclear , if not impossible to quantify.
” Advocates for strict ethics enforcement blasted the decision by the committee , with one saying it “ proves they are an ‘ ethics ’ committee in name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he “ followed the rules as set forth by Congress ” and noted that he “ fully participated ” with the committee .
The committee ’ s investigation into the allegations against Tlaib , which it received a referral on last summer , is ongoing .
In the case of the Virginia Republican , Rep. Tom Garrett , who left office last year , the committee ultimately found he did send his staff out on personal errands .
But it determined it could not fine him because he was not seeking reelection .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawmaker from North Carolina , Rep. Mark Meadows , who continued to pay his chief of staff even after banning him from the office after multiple accusations of sexual harassment .
Meadows was required to cover the $ 40,000 cost .
( On Friday , Meadows was named Trump ’ s new chief of staff . )
Schweikert , Tlaib , Garrett and Meadows did not immediately respond to requests for comment .

Members of Congress Have a New Strategy for Ethics Investigations: Stonewalling
The Office of Congressional Ethics does not have subpoena power, so lawmakers have increasingly decided that not cooperating is the better approach.
by Robert Faturechi, ProPublica
Congressional investigators wanted to talk.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the freshman Democrat from Michigan, faced allegations that she improperly paid herself a salary from her campaign account, including a bulk payment of $15,500 after the election was over.
Tlaib told reporters the payments were proper. But when the Office of Congressional Ethics, the House’s independent, nonpartisan watchdog, asked to interview her, the congresswoman refused. So did her staffers who had been involved with the payments.
Tlaib, who resides on the progressive wing of her party, isn’t alone in this response when OCE came calling. Other lawmakers who stonewalled include a Virginia Republican who allegedly sent his House staff on personal errands, including picking up milk and caring for his dog, and a Freedom Caucus lawmaker from North Carolina who continued to pay his chief of staff even after barring him after accusations of sexual harassment.
Indeed, House members and staffers of both parties are increasingly dodging ethics investigators. The last decade showed a sharp drop in cooperation starting in mid-2016. Before that, in 74% of distinct cases subjects cooperated fully, providing interviews and documents as requested, according to a ProPublica review of every case in which OCE found a potential violation. Since then, full cooperation has plummeted to just 33% of cases.
Today, it’s common for lawmakers from both parties to refuse not just some requests for interviews and documents from OCE, but all of them. In the last four years, subjects in 11 of 18 distinct cases refused any cooperation whatsoever. In the six years before that, there were just three such cases out of 43.
Congress created OCE, which has a 10-person staff, in 2008 after a string of scandals on the Hill cast doubt over whether the House ethics committee, led by lawmakers, could effectively root out corruption in its own ranks. OCE, however, was not granted subpoena power, so it still relies on the committee to compel interviews and documents from uncooperative subjects.
The reasons offered for the increased obstruction vary. Despite lacking subpoena power, OCE is perceived as more aggressive, so members may prefer trying their luck with the committee. The committee has a reputation for moving more slowly, being more deferential to members and being willing to resolve some matters confidentially. One case, involving alleged financial improprieties by Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., has languished in the committee for almost two years. (He has defended his actions.)
In addition, some observers suggest that President Donald Trump has licensed resistance to outside scrutiny, as officials from his White House have ignored congressional subpoenas and the president himself refused to sit down for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller.
The drop in cooperation represents the latest attempt by lawmakers of both parties to push back on the watchdog. In 2010, Democrats from the Congressional Black Caucus tried unsuccessfully to curtail OCE’s ability to publicize its findings. In 2017, after Trump was elected, House Republicans attempted to limit OCE’s independence, but they failed after the move drew widespread outrage.
Unable to legislate changes to its mission, some lawmakers have figured out a way to try to do an end-run around the body. Unlike past efforts, the refusal to cooperate requires no rule changes, and it has been quietly playing out on a case-by-case basis.
Craig Holman, a veteran observer of congressional investigations and a lobbyist for the watchdog group Public Citizen, said ProPublica’s review showed “a breathtaking shift in cooperation rates.”
“This shift vastly bolsters the need to grant OCE with subpoena authority,” he said.
Omar Ashmawy, director of OCE, acknowledged a recent decline in cooperation by subjects in cases referred to the committee for further review. “Perhaps due to the advice of some counsel,” he said.
The pool of Washington lawyers who represent lawmakers before OCE is small.
In interviews with ProPublica, several of those lawyers, representing both Republicans and Democrats, said they generally believe their clients are better off dealing with the committee instead of OCE.
Robert K. Kelner, a Republican attorney at Covington & Burling, said the shift against cooperating was due to OCE tactics he called aggressive and unfair.
“There’s a strong view among the bar of lawyers who practice before the ethics committee that the ethics committee follows a much more fair process than OCE,” he said. “If you have a choice of waiting to have your case heard by a body that will abide by basic norms of due process, why wouldn’t you wait for that?”
Kelner lauded the committee for sometimes resolving cases privately, unlike OCE: “What we should care about is whether they’re causing members to comply with the rules, not about whether it’s done publicly or whether they make a spectacle of it.”
Among the complaints from defense attorneys about OCE is that the body ascribes guilt to lawmakers for not cooperating, accepts anonymous complaints and pressures members to make their staffers cooperate as well.
Another Washington attorney, who represents Democrats and would not speak on the record out of fear of antagonizing OCE, agreed that the committee has a tendency to move more slowly than OCE, but said that was a sign of more professional and thorough investigations.
“The incentive structures are different. OCE has more of an incentive to draw attention and make waves. Most of the time the committee is trying to figure out how to help members basically comply,” the attorney said. “They send them a private letter and ask them not to do it again, and generally it has the desired effect.”
A third ethics lawyer, who also requested anonymity for similar reasons, said when clients are guilty, or if they possess documents that implicate them, it may be in their best interest to refuse to voluntarily turn that information over to OCE.
While OCE does make its findings public in cases in which it finds potential violations — creating negative press for members of Congress — it has no authority to formally reprimand lawmakers on its own. OCE refers such cases to the committee, which then decides whether to conduct its own investigation, and ultimately whether to discipline lawmakers.
“Even if the stakes are higher with the ethics committee, you probably have a better shot of having it shut down,” the lawyer said.
In 2016, OCE referred the case of Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, who owns a car dealership and pushed a provision to allow car dealerships to continue renting out vehicles subject to safety recalls.
Williams did not cooperate with OCE, refusing to provide documents or sit down for an interview. In its report, OCE concluded “there is substantial reason to believe that Representative Williams’ personal financial interest in his auto dealership may be perceived as having influenced his performance of official duties.”
But the committee decided not to take action against Williams. Though it found he “may have had some personal financial interest in the adoption of his amendment,” the committee dismissed any such financial interest as “speculative and hypothetical.” How much loaning cars out increased the lawmaker’s profits, and how much banning recalled cars would hurt his profits, was “unclear, if not impossible to quantify.”
Advocates for strict ethics enforcement blasted the decision by the committee, with one saying it “proves they are an ‘ethics’ committee in name only.” A spokeswoman for Williams said he “followed the rules as set forth by Congress” and noted that he “fully participated” with the committee.
The committee’s investigation into the allegations against Tlaib, which it received a referral on last summer, is ongoing. In the case of the Virginia Republican, Rep. Tom Garrett, who left office last year, the committee ultimately found he did send his staff out on personal errands. But it determined it could not fine him because he was not seeking reelection. The committee did reprimand the Freedom Caucus lawmaker from North Carolina, Rep. Mark Meadows, who continued to pay his chief of staff even after banning him from the office after multiple accusations of sexual harassment. Meadows was required to cover the $40,000 cost. (On Friday, Meadows was named Trump’s new chief of staff.)
Schweikert, Tlaib, Garrett and Meadows did not immediately respond to requests for comment. An official with the House ethics committee declined comment.
A former OCE official attributed the drop in cooperation, in part, to the 2016 federal charges against David Bowser, chief of staff to a Republican congressman, over false statements he allegedly made to OCE. Bowser attempted to obstruct OCE’s investigation into whether a campaign consultant was paid with taxpayer funds, prosecutors alleged, by failing to produce documents, influencing the testimony of witnesses and falsely claiming that the consultant was solely hired to work on congressional matters. Bowser was convicted of making false statements in March 2018. His lawyer, Leslie McAdoo Gordon, said she advises against cooperating with OCE and believes the Justice Department overreached in Bowser’s case.
“That may be why you have members trying to be very careful not to be put in that same situation,” said Kedric Payne, former deputy chief counsel at OCE.
But Payne said refusing to cooperate was “not a winning strategy” — forcing OCE to make judgements without hearing the lawmaker’s side of the story and only increasing the odds that OCE would refer the case to the committee for further review, thus making the allegations public.
Ashmawy noted that for cases that OCE decided should be dismissed, which are not made public, the vast majority of subjects had cooperated.
Ashmawy suggested that even when lawmakers do not cooperate, OCE investigations go on. Investigators can get the documents they need — including texts, emails and financial records — from third parties, such as former staffers and businesses.
“While many have suggested that OCE needs subpoena authority, we do quite well without it,” Ashmawy said. “And that’s a credit to the office.”
