lewrockwell--2020-10-28--What Are We Going To Say to the Children?

What do we say to our children as the future collapses in front of them ?
As a generation sees its future slip away , how do we explain what has been stolen from them ?
People are suffering .
Children are suffering .
Young adults are suffering , and things seem destined to get much worse .

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) revealed that young adults aged 25-44 years saw the most massive increase in “ excess ” deaths from previous years , a stunning 26.5 % jump .
The notable increase even surpassed the jump in excess deaths of older Americans , who are at much higher risk of COVID-19 fatality .

Public Health Officials Are Public Death Officials
It is a new form of murder. So many dead already, yet this is just the beginning. We have a story of untold human desperation in the face of enormous economic disruption and rising poverty and hunger. Instead of the world’s populations coming out with pitchforks and guns with their hatred correctly focused, we have massive confusion, doubt, and fear.

Conclusion
Health authorities in Sweden have refused to follow the rest of Europe by imposing new coronavirus lockdown measures on their population, arguing that those beset by loneliness and misery of being isolated have suffered enough.
In England, we have just the opposite happening. Objections to trivial and confusing lockdown rules are multiplying. There is a growing sense of outrage at the petty callousness of the authorities splitting families and the horror of patients dying alone. Around the country, thousands of elderly Covid sufferers were “triaged,” given limited treatment, and allowed to die even as ICU wards had empty beds.
Dr. Joseph Mercola reported that the pandemic had decimated mental health.
Statistics show rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide are currently at an all-time high due to COVID-19 pandemic responses. According to poll results published in late August, 53% of American adults said their mental health “had been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the coronavirus.” 36% report having trouble sleeping, 32% have trouble eating, 12% report increased alcohol consumption and/or substance use and 12% report worsening of chronic health conditions due to worry and stress. Those faring the worst are people sheltering in place, 47% of whom report negative health effects, compared to 37% of those not sheltering in place.
A CDC study found 40.9% of respondents reported anxiety, depression or symptoms of trauma- and stressor-related disorder relating to the pandemic; 13.3% of American adults reported new or increased substance use as a way to manage stress, and 10.7% of adults said they’d seriously contemplated suicide in the past 30 days.

The shift to remote work has given rise to a workforce suffering from loneliness and isolationism. Research from Gallup suggests that loneliness can affect both personal and professional wellbeing. Feeling lonely leads to a 29 percent increase in heart disease. It also increases the chance of stroke by 32 percent. When it comes to loneliness its a bigger killer than obesity. Imagine how much it increases one’s vulnerability to the common flu or coronavirus.
Who are we going to blame for all of this? I think many people are beginning to realize that the world we knew is not coming back, but that is a hard one to swallow. The globalists have no intention of restoring human freedom and global mobility, an impossible job anyway at this late stage of the game. The peoples of the world are being crushed, causing massive destitution and all of this before a vaccine is forced down the throats of most of the world’s populations. Only idiots believe that the vaccine will be safe.
They have us fighting and hating each other, so we will not turn on them. But every person on the planet has a common enemy. All our vengeance should be turned on them. We know who quite a few of them are, and the human race should turn on them. However, most of us are their tools, have long fallen into their traps.
What we have is a new form of murder developed over decades by health officials and those that back them. What we have to decide the punishment for such evil, or its all over for billions of us. They are getting away with it, and the collective is suffering for it in a way we never dreamed possible.

lewrockwell--2020-10-28--The Coming of Corporate Collectivism

The Coming of Corporate Collectivism

Benito Mussolini stated that “ Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism , as it is the merger of corporate and government power.
” Interestingly , many , and perhaps most people today , lack an understanding as to the system under which they are ruled .
In the US in particular , most people who vote Republican take pride in believing that the US is a capitalist state .
Democrats , too , regard the US as a capitalist state , and take the view that that ’ s what ’ s wrong with America today .

And , of course , since they believe they live under a capitalist system , they assume that capitalism must be the problem .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be said that the first major introduction of corporatist collectivism occurred in 1913 , with the introduction of the Revenue Act and the Federal Reserve Act .
These were enacted under President Woodrow Wilson and were peddled to the American public as being anti-corporatist .
The Revenue Act , which introduced income tax , was touted as creating a tax primarily for the rich , which would even out income disparities .
The Federal Reserve was claimed to be a government agency that would ride herd over the greedy banking interests on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who actually read the bill learned that the Federal Reserve was neither federal nor a reserve .
It was to be owned by the larger banks and would give them the power to control the currency of the US .
By promising collectivist changes , the goals of corporatism were advanced .
And so it is today .
Virtually all the ills of American society , as described by liberals , have been caused by the introduction of collectivist concepts , capitalized upon by the plutocracy of the US .
The US is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were to define it accurately , the economic system is corporatist and the social system is collectivist .

Wall Street has dominated the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And in all of that time , they ’ ve sought a greater level of collectivism .
They understand that collectivism ( under any of its guises of socialism , fascism or communism ) is a highly effective means by which to rule over others .
Collectivism does not raise up the masses , as Karl Marx suggested .
Instead , it evens out the classes by lowering the great majority of people to an equal level of poverty .
The premise is a simple one : Promise largesse from the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be relinquished in order to receive the largesse .
Then , once all have been subjugated under collectivism , the largesse is steadily diminished .

Like the Russian people , the German people had been sold the collectivist promise , believing that their lives would somehow be better if they agreed to give up their liberties and accept totalitarian rule .

The effort to create the same situation in the US has long been in the works .

In his address at that fundraiser , he stated , “ There are only two possibilities , either to crowd back the opponent on constitutional grounds , and for this purpose once more we have this [ upcoming ] election , or a struggle will be conducted with other weapons , which may demand greater sacrifices… I hope the German people thus recognize the greatness of this hour.
” Germany was about to receive a totalitarian corporate collectivist rule , either through election or through the creation of civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is about to undergo dramatic change .
The remaining question is whether that will take place through election or its historic alternative .

Benito Mussolini stated that “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.”
Quite so.
Interestingly, many, and perhaps most people today, lack an understanding as to the system under which they are ruled.
In the US in particular, most people who vote Republican take pride in believing that the US is a capitalist state.
Democrats, too, regard the US as a capitalist state, and take the view that that’s what’s wrong with America today.

Puzder, Andrew Best Price: $1.26 Buy New $5.00 (as of 03:52 UTC - Details)
Interestingly, though, the evils to which they refer are the socio-economic inequalities that exist and the fact that those on the lower levels of society have decreasing opportunity to improve their lot in life. And, of course, since they believe they live under a capitalist system, they assume that capitalism must be the problem.
But this is not the case.
It can be said that the first major introduction of corporatist collectivism occurred in 1913, with the introduction of the Revenue Act and the Federal Reserve Act.
These were enacted under President Woodrow Wilson and were peddled to the American public as being anti-corporatist. The Revenue Act, which introduced income tax, was touted as creating a tax primarily for the rich, which would even out income disparities. The Federal Reserve was claimed to be a government agency that would ride herd over the greedy banking interests on Wall Street.
However, those few who actually read the bill learned that the Federal Reserve was neither federal nor a reserve. It was to be owned by the larger banks and would give them the power to control the currency of the US.
By promising collectivist changes, the goals of corporatism were advanced.
And so it is today. Virtually all the ills of American society, as described by liberals, have been caused by the introduction of collectivist concepts, capitalized upon by the plutocracy of the US.
The US is not a capitalist state. If we were to define it accurately, the economic system is corporatist and the social system is collectivist. It is, however, true that there exist the remnants of a free market, or capitalism.
Yet, to most – either liberal or conservative – this would seem impossible. We’ve been taught to regard Wall Street as a denizen for greedy capitalists. Surely, they would never support collectivism – the saviour of the masses.
Well, yes and no. Wall Street has dominated the American economy for over one hundred years. And in all of that time, they’ve sought a greater level of collectivism. They understand that collectivism (under any of its guises of socialism, fascism or communism) is a highly effective means by which to rule over others.
Collectivism does not raise up the masses, as Karl Marx suggested. Instead, it evens out the classes by lowering the great majority of people to an equal level of poverty.
The premise is a simple one: Promise largesse from the government, with the stipulation that basic freedoms must be relinquished in order to receive the largesse. Then, once all have been subjugated under collectivism, the largesse is steadily diminished. Corporate leaders convince the people to give up their rights, but then fail to deliver on their end of the bargain: to bestow riches upon the now-subjugated populace. Trumponomics: Inside t...

He was provided with funding, along with a US passport, courtesy of President Wilson. A contingent then went with Mister Trotsky to Russia with the funds necessary to wrest control of the new Soviet Union – to replace the Mensheviks with the Lenin/Trotsky-led Bolsheviks. The bargain was that the Soviet Union would be collectivist and that the goods needed by Russians would be supplied from New York, in perpetuity, unseen by the public in either Russia or the US.
Within a decade, the same firms began funding an up-and-coming Adolf Hitler. They funded his rise to power in 1933 and spent the remainder of the decade taking control of much of German industry, in addition to installing American-owned plants in Germany.
Prior to Hitler’s rise, Germany was flat broke and heavily in debt, but the massive monetary shot in the arm from Wall Street firms ensured that Germany would rise quickly and come to dominate Europe. Indeed, without US funding, the creation of the German war machine would have been impossible.
The term “Nazi” is an abbreviation for Nationalsozialistische – the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Like the Russian people, the German people had been sold the collectivist promise, believing that their lives would somehow be better if they agreed to give up their liberties and accept totalitarian rule.
What they received was the totalitarian rule without the promised largesse.
The effort to create the same situation in the US has long been in the works. In the 1930s, great strides were made toward collectivism under the New Deal. However, post-war prosperity made Americans unwilling to give up liberties for largesse.
But today, increased governmental regulation has diminished the free market, diminishing opportunities for the average American. This has created a condition in which roughly half of Americans now buy into the empty promise of collectivism.
America no longer has true “liberal” and “conservative” parties. They now have “liberal” and “liberal-light” parties.

Just two weeks prior to the 1933 German national elections, Adolf Hitler hosted a secret fundraising meeting for German and American industrialists, which netted him millions in donations, upon which he could finance a totalitarian corporate collectivist government.
He then surreptitiously created the Reichstag fire, blaming it on dissidents and political opponents, ensuring that he would be elected.
In his address at that fundraiser, he stated,
“There are only two possibilities, either to crowd back the opponent on constitutional grounds, and for this purpose once more we have this [upcoming] election, or a struggle will be conducted with other weapons, which may demand greater sacrifices… I hope the German people thus recognize the greatness of this hour.”
Germany was about to receive a totalitarian corporate collectivist rule, either through election or through the creation of civil unrest.
Similarly, the US today is about to undergo dramatic change. The remaining question is whether that will take place through election or its historic alternative.

lewrockwell--2020-10-29--Is Infectious Disease Just a Shell Game?

How does modern medicine get away with saying there is a novel newly-mutated coronavirus ( cold virus ) that is deadly and spreading round the world for which we have no immunity towards and then say that the flu vanished at the same time ?
Is COVID-19 really just the flu ?
It is now revealed that the flu has almost vanished ( 98 % decline ) in this COVID-19 year of pandemic .
And not just here in the U.S .
According to a report in the DAILY MAIL , there were just 12 cases of the flu in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases of the flu were reported in the prior year ) .

The flu has vanished !
Apparently the common cold ( of which coronaviruses are one type of cold virus ) resulted in the disappearance of the flu .
Which came first : the cold or the flu ?
As shown in a study at Yale among 13,000 cases admitted to the hospital with respiratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cold and the flu at the same time .
Immunologists claim there is “ interference between colds ( rhinoviruses ) and Influenza A .

The first infection activates the immune system and certainly wards off any other viral infection .

As an aside , while there are better ways of dealing with the mental stress posed by the spread of a potentially lethal mutated strain of coronavirus than drinking alcohol , consumption which is at an all-time high , wine appears to be the preferential beverage of choice during the COVID-19 lockdown pandemic .

In this shell game , there never were any flu cases , or only a few laboratory-confirmed flu cases .
The disappearance of seasonal flu cases and deaths , as confirmed by a Centers For Disease Control report ( also see chart at bottom ) is largely a statistical phenomenon .

Social distancing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could not have been responsible for this decline as they are not flu-specific measures ( COVID-19 virus cases rose during same time period ) and only delay , not prevent , infectious disease .

and in California , Texas , Florida and New York City , where there are high rates of another lung infection , tuberculosis .
COVID-19 is seasonal and so is tuberculosis .
Both diseases exhibit similar symptoms .
Both TB and COVID-19 are treated with the same medications ( azithromycin , hydroxychloroquine ) .
Risk of COVID-19 is reduced by vaccination with the TB vaccine .
And there is financial incentive for hospitals to re-classify TB cases as COVID-19 .
Are TB cases simply being re-coded for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reimbursed at a higher rate ?
When TB data from 2020 is tabulated and reported next year , and if it is found there is a drastic decline in TB cases , that would be evidence TB cases may have been re-classified as COVID-19 .
Let ’ s not forget that the Spanish Flu of 1918 was later found be TB , not caused by a virus .

All of these disease symptoms are related to a shortage of the trace mineral zinc
Zinc shortage and COVID19
This author presented a report showing virtually all of the symptoms of COVID-19 are the same produced by zinc deficiency.
Loss of appetite with accompanying weight loss is commonly reported among COVID-19 patients (zinc is often the first remedy used to treat anorexia). Even delirium, reported among COVID-19 sufferers, can become evident when zinc levels are low. Ditto for the occurrence of poor blood circulation (“COVID toes”), skin problems, nausea, hair loss.
Reading all this, many chose unwittingly overdose on zinc, which causes some of the same symptomology. So, follow dosing suggestions.

There is a balance between zinc and copper. Dr. Ananda Prasad, reigning authority on zinc nutrition, says humans can take up to 40 milligrams of supplemental zinc without inducing a copper shortage. I suggest 30 mg zinc from supplements for adults given that the diet provides ~10 mg/day.
Why COVID-19 strikes the elderly; zinc again
A possible reason why COVID-19 strikes older adults is that zinc is poorly absorbed by senior adults, namely because zinc is required for the production of hydrochloric acid, which is needed to absorb most water-soluble lettered B-C vitamins. Vitamin B6 aids the absorption and utilization of zinc.
Once absorbed into the bloodstream zinc is bound to a protein (metallothionein) that renders it temporarily unavailable. The co-supplementation with selenium releases zinc from metallothionein.
The absent coronavirus: exosomes
What could possibly cause a massive zinc shortage that is presumed to be caused by a specious virus? I say specious because there are critics who convincingly and graphically demonstrate that COVID-19 is really a tiny vesicle called an exosome that transports the cell signals viruses send to surrounding cells. The confusion between viruses and exosomes is not new. It arose as early as 2003 in the medical literature. Exosomes are at the very least facilitate the transport of viral proteins throughout the body.

Accumulated risk
Arsenic is stored in hair, nails, skin, bone and teeth. Daily intake of arsenic may be within toxic consumption guidelines but it may be accumulated arsenic that eventually poses problems.
Skin lesions caused by arsenic arise ~10 years after chronic exposure.
Environmental arsenic
Arsenic is widely used in the weed killer glyphosate. Glyphosate is reported to contain 600-1200 parts per billion arsenic compared to 0.17 parts per billion is reported to cause chronic poisoning. Arsenic is believed to be inert in this weed killer so it is not listed on product labels.

Return to TB
Let’s return for a moment to tuberculosis, a prevalent infectious lung disease said to be caused by a mycobacterium. Mortality from TB is increased by exposure to arsenic. Blood serum levels of zinc and selenium are lower in patients with TB. That was reported as early as 1924. Historically mega-dose arsenic was actually used to treat TB. But it is now reported that inorganic (unbound) arsenic in drinking water increases the risk for active (not dormant) cases of TB.
In regard to the trace mineral selenium mention above, selenium-deficient mice develop more harmful lung inflammation after being infected with flu viruses (vaccination). Nerve paralyzing enteroviruses (gut viruses) are more prevalent when there is selenium deficiency.
Gastric symptoms: is COVID-19 an enterovirus?
It is not uncommon for COVID-19 patients to complain of gastric symptoms. An arsenic-induced zinc deficiency can induce gastric side effects.
There is question how COVID-19 is spread. The Centers for Disease Control has caused confusion over this, saying it can be transmitted from hand to mouth, then later only by aerosol transmission from infected lung to uninfected lung. Maybe neither.
Please read my 2013 report about viruses and arsenic and you might begin to believe COVID-19 is an enterovirus not a cold virus.
Enteroviruses enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract and thrive there. Enteroviruses can cause infectious disease symptoms similar to the common cold. In some cases enteroviruses induce serious breathing problems.
Conclusion
Arsenic and zinc’s fingerprints are all over COVID-19, one as an initiator, the other a remedy. By implication, one of these two minerals is THE cause of COVID-19 infection, and the other its antidote.

It seems that only 0.1% of the time during the last 70 years has the S&P 500 traded at a higher forward PE (price-to-earnings) multiple than it does today. That’s equal to 4 weeks out of the 3,640 weeks since 1950.
In a world faced by COVID lockdowns, staggering amounts of debt, central bank money-pumping extremes, and outright fiscal insanity in Washington, why is the present moment more propitious for the valuation of corporate earnings than during 99.9% of the time since the Korean War?
Of course, it is not. Not remotely so.
Instead, the Fed and the other central banks have led the robo-machines, day-traders, and Robinhood waifs into the most hideous stock-chasing mania in recorded history.
Here are just a few of the market extremities: The Great Deformation:... David A. Stockman Best Price: $2.00 Buy New $9.95 (as of 09:55 UTC - Details)
Amazon is now 43% of the S&P 500 consumer discretionary index;
Nearly two-thirds of the market is underperforming so far this year;
Year-to-date, only one in three stocks is actually in the green;
One in five stocks is down 50% or more from its all-time high;
The five largest stocks in the S&P 500 have a combined market cap that equals that of the “smallest” 389 stocks;
Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google—four companies—have a combined market cap (over $6 trillion) that is greater than the GDP of every country in the world, minus the US and China;
Tesla, having surpassed Walmart (with one-twentieth of the revenue!), has become the ninth-largest stock in the US.
How could the S&P 500 be trading at its highest multiple in 70 years when the growth rate of corporate earnings has been sinking for more than two decades?
The recent S&P index value implies a PE multiple of 36.8X—a place the S&P 500 has never been before.
The forward PE is now above the record high reached during the dot-com madness at the turn of the century.
PE multiples at these levels imply double-digit earnings growth rates in the year ahead; it is relevant to start with the trend now in place. The only accurate way to measure the latter is on a peak-to-peak basis throughout the business cycle.
Corporate earnings peaked in Q4 2019, which was 12.5 years after the prior peak in June 2007. As it happens, the S&P 500’s earnings-per-share growth during that period—massive monetary stimulus to the contrary notwithstanding—was far below the rate of the two previous cycles. Peak Trump: The Undrai... David A. Stockman Best Price: $12.72 Buy New $43.07 (as of 11:40 UTC - Details)
Growth per annum:
Q2 2007–Q4 2019: 4.0%
Q3 2000–Q2 2007: 7.0%
Q2 1990–Q3 2000: 9.5%
Moreover, the 4.0% growth rate for the most recent cycle is not what it’s cracked up to be relative to prior cycles. That’s owing to the massive stock buyback campaigns and deterioration of corporate balance sheets since the June 2007 peak—as well as the one-time reduction in the corporate tax rate in 2017, a non-repeatable boost to cumulative S&P 500 earnings growth during the 12.5-year cycle.
Worse still, pretax corporate earnings in Q2 2020 plunged by 23% from their Q4 2019 peak—meaning that they have a huge hole to dig out of before there can be any growth in the post-Covid cycle.
Given today’s frenzied stock market, you would never guess that the $1.774 trillion level of profits reported for Q2 2020 was nearly identical to the $1.773 trillion level reported way back in Q4 2005.
In other words, corporate profits have been thrown backward by 15 years.
If you believed that current market levels had anything to do with the economic fundamentals, you would have to argue that the long-term trend of corporate earnings growth is fixing to pivot from the sinking pattern shown above to a new phase of parabolic rise.
This very idea is preposterous—besides, earnings don’t have anything to do with the casino’s current speculative frenzy. The Triumph of Politic... David Stockman Best Price: $2.56 Buy New $15.99 (as of 05:55 UTC - Details)
Instead, what we have is pure, unadulterated inflation of PE multiples. That’s a monetary phenomenon—the AWOL inflation that the Fed heads keep gumming about.
It’s the PE multiple, stupid!
Editor’s Note: The economic, political, and social volatility in the days and weeks ahead promises to be extreme. The impact on your savings, retirement funds, and personal freedoms could be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

What’s Wrong With FISA?

Congress enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978 in response to the unlawful surveillance of Americans by the FBI and the CIA during the Watergate era .
President Richard Nixon – who famously quipped after leaving office that “ when the president does it , that means that it is not illegal ” – used the FBI and the CIA to spy on his political opponents .
