After frittering trillions away on their overvalued stock , they now demand bailouts from the taxpayer , and their spineless captured congress lapdogs have obeyed their corporate masters .
The 96 – 0 vote in the Senate is truly a disgusting example of the corporate fascist One Party system that reigns in the swamp .
Corporate socialism is alive and well .
As this incomprehensible national shutdown extends into April , tens of thousands of small businesses will be forced to close their doors for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , delis , hardware stores , and thousands of other small businesses will be involuntarily shuttered for good .
The national chains will collect their government largess , produce PR campaigns to pat themselves on the back , and abscond with the profits of the now deceased small businesses .

I find it fascinating the plot of the movie centers around a secret bio-weapons program at Larkhill utilized by power hungry fascists (Sutler) to achieve their goal of convincing the masses to vote for their own enslavement. They released the virus into St. Mary’s school, the London tube and a water treatment plant, ultimately killing 100,000, blaming phantom terrorists, spreading panic and fear, and scaring the public into elevating Sutler to High Chancellor.

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power. The object of power is power.” – George Orwell – 1984 “Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss.” ― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
The Party has created the fear and panic. The Party has shutdown the world economy. The Party has destroyed your 401ks, again. The Party is using propaganda techniques and scare tactics to bully you into subservience and conformity. The Party is using Orwellian doublespeak to mislead the masses. The Party will use all means to silence dissent. The Party will utilize their hold on the police forces and military to enforce their dictatorial decrees.
The Party is attempting to turn us against each other so we don’t turn on them. The truth is they are losing control.

Happening Now

quarter GDP at -20% and unemployment rising to 20%. Despite violent upswings, the stock market will drop another 30% in the next few months.
The annual deficit will top $4 trillion as the $2.2 trillion of pork hits the spending side and tax revenue evaporates due to the country being closed for business.
The unaccountable Fed will double its balance sheet to $9 trillion (up from $800 billion in 2008) as they pump the fiat directly into the veins of the Wall Street addicts.
The number of cases and deaths will continue to rise, but be no worse than the Swine flu numbers, and far less than the Spanish flu figures.
Left wing authoritarian governors will declare even more draconian lockdowns of their citizens, enforced by their police forces and national guard troops.
The initial fear and panic buying at grocery stores has subsided, but once the media begins to tout supply chain disruptions, a renewed panic will cause chaos across the country.
Police will monitor the license plates of those from infected areas, demanding the driver’s papers and forcing them to return to their states.
Silicon Valley Big Brother will report the movements of all citizens to the government through cell phone tracking of individuals.
Citizens will be encouraged by Big Brother to monitor the actions of their neighbors and report them to the authorities if they dare to disregard an order from their government keepers.
The media will continue to hype and create panic by exaggerating every aspect of this health crisis and cheer on every edict handed by government authorities.
As the lockdown nears a month, the natives will grow increasingly restless, as their $1,200 evaporates and they begin to question the Party’s narrative.
The vile politicians in D.C. will roll out another stimulus scheme, further indebting future generations in a pathetic attempt to prop up this carcass of a country.
Rioting and looting in the urban areas will lead to martial law being declared by Trump and the governors.
The legitimate scapegoating of China for creating this crisis will lead to increased tensions, as domestic discontent in both countries creates an atmosphere where military escapades are utilized to distract the masses, using patriotism as a rallying cry by the failing leaders.
Could Happen
The “authorities” will declare all coin and currency as unsafe due to the virus and force the digitalization of the entire country.
Gold will be outlawed once again, as its price rise will reveal the currency debasement and inflation created by the Fed’s monetary machinations.
Either at the convention or just before, Biden will “voluntarily” step aside due to his progressing Alzheimer’s to allow the media’s hero governor of NY to assume the nomination of the Democrat party.
With the economy in depression and the stock market down 50%, Trump would lose the presidency to Cuomo and the Democrats would take full control of Congress.
The left-wing fascist party would then begin implementing a government- controlled health care regime where all Americans will need to be microchipped for our own good.
Miraculously, a vaccine to eliminate the threat of coronavirus will be discovered and all Americans will be forced to receive it under threat of arrest. Shockingly, key congressmen will have invested heavily in the company that developed the cure.
The lunatic fringe will achieve their aim of a green new deal, passing legislation which will put the final nail in the coffin of a once great republic. The economy will spiral downward and the stock market will crash to levels not seen since the mid- 1990s.
As the global depression deepens, the one world government globalists will again utilize the fear and panic of the masses to try and install a global solution by offering financial relief (debt jubilee) in return for relinquishing our rights, liberties and freedom to a world run by billionaire oligarchs.
The authoritarians will pass legislation banning guns and demanding citizens to hand over their firearms under threat of imprisonment. The instantaneous blowback will rock the world.
This is where some hope enters the picture. We know every Fourth Turning results in the destruction of the existing social order. The toxic brew of debt, global disorder and civic decay are creating a perfect storm from which we cannot escape. We know globalists will attempt to take advantage of the pain, suffering and fear of the masses to further entrench themselves as our masters. This is where their hubris and arrogance will be their downfall. The dreadful course we are on is not set in stone. It is not certain, offering us one last opportunity.

The end of this empire is nearer than one might think, but its epitaph has already been written. Financial collapse is baked in the cake. The teetering edifice which took so long to build will be brought down by a snap of history’s fingers.
I’m unsure as to whether Trump is a pawn in this game of the globalists or a willing participant. If he isn’t the one destined to blow this thing sky high, then someone else will need to step into the breach and convince the masses to rise up, throw off their chains, and conquer their fears. We are approaching the climax phase of this Fourth Turning where things will turn nasty. If you haven’t noticed, your world has changed forever over the last few weeks and the future is in our hands. Are you ready to fight for truth, knowledge and a future for our children? The battle between good and evil has just begun.
“The Crisis climax is human history’s equivalent to nature’s raging typhoon, the kind that sucks all surrounding matter into a single swirl of ferocious energy. Anything not lashed down goes flying; anything standing in the way gets flattened. Normally occurring late in the Fourth Turning, the climax gathers energy from an accumulation of unmet needs, unpaid bills, and unresolved problems. It then spends that energy on an upheaval whose direction and dimension were beyond comprehension during the prior Unraveling era. The climax shakes a society to its roots, transforms its institutions, redirects its purposes, and marks its people (and its generations) for life. The climax can end in triumph, or tragedy, or some combination of both. Whatever the event and whatever the outcome, a society passes through a great gate of history, fundamentally altering the course of civilization.”- Strauss & Howe – Fourth Turning

It ’ s an interesting test of the First Amendment ’ s freedom of assembly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s compelling state interest in prohibiting mass gatherings in order to prevent the spread of the virus .
Generally , the government has to show a compelling state interest before it can override certain critical rights such as free speech , assembly , press , search and seizure , etc .

These lockdown measures—on the right of the people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engage in commerce , etc.—unquestionably restrict fundamental constitutional rights , which might pass muster for a short period of time , but can it be sustained for longer stretches legally ?
A Government of Wolves ... John W. Whitehead Best Price : $ 1.16 Buy New $ 2.99 That ’ s the challenge before us , of course , if these days and weeks potentially stretch into months-long quarantines .
For example , the First Amendment guarantees “ the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
” While the freedom to travel has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context of interstate or international travel , the freedom of movement is implicit liberty given that government agents may not stop and question or search persons unless they have some legal justification .
As a rule , people are free to roam and loiter in public places and are not required to provide police with their identity or give an account of their purpose for exercising their freedom .
However , as with all constitutional rights , these freedoms , as the Courts have ruled , are not unqualified .
Even content-based restrictions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amendment if the restriction is needed to serve a compelling government interest .
The Supreme Court long ago “ distinctly recognized the authority of a state to enact quarantine laws and health laws of every description [ . ]
” Such laws are an exercise of the state ’ s police power , and if there is a rational basis for believing they are needed to protect the public health , they will be deemed to serve a compelling government interest .
The point was made over 100 years ago in circumstances similar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a smallpox outbreak occurred in Cambridge , Mass.
, invoking a state law allowing localities to make vaccinations mandatory and enforceable by criminal penalties .
In upholding the law and local order against a claim that it violated the constitutional liberty to control one ’ s own body and health , the Supreme Court declared : The Court went on to write that “ [ u ] pon the principle of self-defense , of paramount necessity , a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic of disease which threatens the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have enacted laws that recognize the need for prompt action in times of emergency , including epidemics , and have delegated the authority to and executive officer to take action to address that emergency .
For example , Tennessee law provides that the governor is given the power to issue orders that have the force and effect of law to address emergencies , which include disease outbreaks and epidemics .
That state ’ s law similarly grants mayors or other local chief executive officers the power to issue orders and directives deemed necessary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ order to address civil emergencies .
Courts have ruled that they will defer to the decisions of an executive authority on the decision as to whether an emergency exists and whether the means employed to address the emergency are reasonable and legal , although there could be situations where a court would declare that the executive decision is arbitrary and unreasonable .
When governments act under their police power to control plagues and epidemics , those laws are valid even though they may restrict individuals in the exercise of constitutional rights .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ balance between individual rights and protection of the public “ assumes that there will be times when there are truly compelling emergencies justifying severe measures .
A global pandemic that spreads even among those who are asymptomatic and could exceed the capacity of the American health care system would appear to be just such a compelling situation.
” At the moment , the government believes it has a compelling interest—albeit a temporary one—in restricting gatherings , assemblies and movement in public in order to minimize the spread of this virus .
The key @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tolerate these restrictions on our liberties in the short term , we should never fail to be on guard lest these one-time constraints become a slippery slope to a total lockdown mindset .
What we must guard against , more than ever before , is the tendency to become so accustomed to our prison walls—these lockdowns , authoritarian dictates , and police state tactics justified as necessary for national security—that we allow the government to keep having its way in all things , without any civic resistance or objections being raised .
Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way .
A German military officer turned theologian , Niemoller was an early supporter of Hitler ’ s rise to power , having believed his promises to protect the church and not allow pogroms against the Jewish people .
It didn ’ t take long for Hitler to break those promises , but by the time the German people realized they had been double-crossed , it was too late .
As Niemoller warned : “ First they came for the Socialists , and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Unionists , and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist .
Then they came for the Jews , and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew .
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
” The lesson for those of us housebound and watching from a distance as the Fourth Reich emerges from the shadows is this : all freedoms hang together .
Niemoller ’ s warning for our modern age would probably go something like this : First @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be free from unreasonable searches and seizures , and I did not object , because I had nothing to hide .
Then they went after the right to not be spied upon , and I did not object , because I had done nothing wrong .
Then they went after the right to criticize the government , and I still did not object , because I had nothing to criticize them for .
Then they went after the right to speak—worship—and assemble freely , and I did not object , because I had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worship , and nowhere to congregate .
By the time the government came to lock me up , there was no one left to set me free .
In other words , don ’ t be naïve : the government will use this crisis to expand its powers far beyond the reach of the Constitution .
The Justice Department has already signaled its desire to suspend parts of the Constitution indefinitely .

Curiously enough , although Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything much lately , given the extreme polarization of the country politically , a recent survey indicates that “ people of both parties seem rather okay with undermining core civil liberties in order to fight the pandemic.
” As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , if you wait to speak out—stand up—and resist until the government ’ s lockdowns impact your freedoms personally , it could be too late .

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”—Viktor Frankl
We still have choices.
Just because we’re fighting an unseen enemy in the form of a virus doesn’t mean we have to relinquish every shred of our humanity, our common sense, or our freedoms to a nanny state that thinks it can do a better job of keeping us safe.
Whatever we give up willingly now—whether it’s basic human decency, the ability to manage our private affairs, the right to have a say in how the government navigates this crisis, or the few rights still left to us that haven’t been disemboweled in recent years by a power-hungry police state—we won’t get back so easily once this crisis is past.
The government never cedes power willingly.

Every day brings a drastic new set of restrictions by government bodies (most have been delivered by way of executive orders) at the local, state and federal level that are eager to flex their muscles for the so-called “good” of the populace.
This is where we run the risk of this whole fly-by-night operation going completely off the rails.
It’s one thing to attempt an experiment in social distancing in order to flatten the curve of this virus because we can’t afford to risk overwhelming the hospitals and exposing the most vulnerable in the nation to unavoidable loss of life scenarios. However, there’s a fine line between strongly worded suggestions for citizens to voluntarily stay at home and strong-armed house arrest orders with penalties in place for non-compliance.
More than three-quarters of all Americans have now been ordered to stay at home and that number is growing as more states fall in line.
Schools have cancelled physical classes, many for the remainder of the academic year.
Many of the states have banned gatherings of more than 10 people.
At least three states (Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania) have ordered non-essential businesses to close.
In Washington, DC, residents face 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine if they leave their homes during the coronavirus outbreak. Residents of Maryland, Hawaii and Washington State also risk severe penalties of up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine for violating the stay-at-home orders. Violators in Alaska could face jail time and up to $25,000 in fines.
Kentucky residents are prohibited from traveling outside the state, with a few exceptions.

In San Francisco, cannabis dispensaries were included among the essential businesses allowed to keep operating during the city-wide lockdown.
New Jersey’s governor canceled gatherings of any number, including parties, weddings and religious ceremonies, and warned the restrictions could continue for weeks or months. One city actually threatened to prosecute residents who spread false information about the virus.

While the Guard officials insist they have not been tasked with martial law, they are coordinating with the Pentagon, FEMA and the states/territories on COVID-19 response missions.
A quick civics lesson: Martial law is a raw exercise of executive power that can override the other branches of government and assume control over the functioning of a nation, state, or smaller area within a state. The power has been exercised by the president, as President Lincoln did soon after the start of the Civil War, and by governors, as was done in Idaho to quell a miner’s strike that broke out there in 1892.
In areas under martial law, all power rests with the military authority in charge. As British General Wellington wrote, “martial law” is not law at all, but martial rule; it abolishes all law and substitutes for it the will of the military commander. Military personnel are not bound by constitutional restrictions requiring a warrant, and may enter and search homes at without judicial authorization or oversight. Indeed, civil courts would no longer be functioning to hear citizen complaints or to enforce their constitutional rights.
Thus far, we have not breached the Constitution’s crisis point: martial law has yet to be overtly imposed (although an argument could be made to the contrary given the militarized nature of the American police state).
It’s just a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.
If this is not the defining point at which we cross over into all-out totalitarianism, then it is at a minimum a test to see how easily we will surrender.
Curiously enough, although Americans have been generally compliant with the government’s suggestions and orders with a few notable exceptions, there’s been a small groundswell of resistance within parts of the religious community over whether churches, synagogues and other religious institutions that hold worship services should be exempt from state-wide bans on mass gatherings.

As Supreme Court Justice William Douglas once wrote:
The right to travel is a part of the “liberty” of which the citizen cannot be deprived without the due process of law under the Fifth Amendment. . . . Freedom of movement across frontiers in either direction, and inside frontiers as well, was a part of our heritage. Travel abroad, like travel within the country, may be necessary for a livelihood. It may be as close to the heart of the individual as the choice of what he eats, or wears, or reads. Freedom of movement is basic in our scheme of values.
As a rule, people are free to roam and loiter in public places and are not required to provide police with their identity or give an account of their purpose for exercising their freedom.
However, as with all constitutional rights, these freedoms, as the Courts have ruled, are not unqualified. Even content-based restrictions on speech are allowed under the First Amendment if the restriction is needed to serve a compelling government interest.

The point was made over 100 years ago in circumstances similar to today’s COVID-19 outbreak when a smallpox outbreak occurred in Cambridge, Mass., invoking a state law allowing localities to make vaccinations mandatory and enforceable by criminal penalties. In upholding the law and local order against a claim that it violated the constitutional liberty to control one’s own body and health, the Supreme Court declared:
The possession and enjoyment of all rights are subject to such reasonable conditions as may be deemed by the governing authority of the country essential to the safety, health, peace, good order, and morals of the community. Even liberty itself, the greatest of all rights, is not unrestricted license to act according to one’s own will.
The Court went on to write that “[u]pon the principle of self-defense, of paramount necessity, a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic of disease which threatens the safety of its members.”
Most states have enacted laws that recognize the need for prompt action in times of emergency, including epidemics, and have delegated the authority to and executive officer to take action to address that emergency. For example, Tennessee law provides that the governor is given the power to issue orders that have the force and effect of law to address emergencies, which include disease outbreaks and epidemics. That state’s law similarly grants mayors or other local chief executive officers the power to issue orders and directives deemed necessary, including closing public facilities, in order to address civil emergencies.
Courts have ruled that they will defer to the decisions of an executive authority on the decision as to whether an emergency exists and whether the means employed to address the emergency are reasonable and legal, although there could be situations where a court would declare that the executive decision is arbitrary and unreasonable.
When governments act under their police power to control plagues and epidemics, those laws are valid even though they may restrict individuals in the exercise of constitutional rights. As one legal scholar recently noted, the balance between individual rights and protection of the public “assumes that there will be times when there are truly compelling emergencies justifying severe measures.

That’s how it starts.
Travel too far down that slippery slope, and there will be no turning back.
Curiously enough, although Americans have not been inclined to agree on anything much lately, given the extreme polarization of the country politically, a recent survey indicates that “people of both parties seem rather okay with undermining core civil liberties in order to fight the pandemic.”
This way lies madness.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, if you wait to speak out—stand up—and resist until the government’s lockdowns impact your freedoms personally, it could be too late.
What would be far worse, however, is handing over your freedoms voluntarily—without even a semblance of protest—to a government that cares little to nothing about your freedoms or your lives.

International bankers couldn ’ t see it coming in 1991 , when they dominated 95 % of the planet after the fall of the Soviet Union .
It seemed that nothing could halt their ultimate mission to complete their Orwellian dream : destroy a few countries in the Middle East , enlarge Israel , and get the total control over the world oil market , the last piece of their Xanadu puzzle that they ’ ve been working on for a whole century , starting with the Balfour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got charge of Russia , there was no sign that he would do better than the drunk he had replaced .
An ex KGB officer seemed like a choice more driven by nostalgia rather than ideology , but Putin had many more assets going for him than first met the eyes : patriotism , humanism , a sense of justice , cunning ruse , a genius economist friend named Sergey Glazyev whom openly despised the New World Order , but above all , he embodied the reincarnation of the long lost Russian ideology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After a few years spent at draining the Russian swamp from the oligarchs and mafiosis that his stumbling predecessor had left in his trail of empty bottles , Vlad rolled his sleeves and got to work .
War with Russia ?

With a new and unmatched arsenal , he could proceed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its proxies , as he did starting in September 2015 in Syria .
He proved to every country that independence from the NWO banking system was now a matter of choice .
Putin not only won the Syrian war , but he won the support of many New World Order countries that suddenly switched sides upon realizing how invincible Russia had become .
On a diplomatic level , it also got mighty China by its side , and then managed to protect independent oil producers such as Venezuela and Iran , while leaders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Salman of Saudi Arabia decided to side with Russia , who isn ’ t holding the best poker hand , but the whole deck of cards .
Ending in the conclusion that Putin now controls the all-mighty oil market , the unavoidable energy resource that lubricates economies and armies , while the banksters ’ NATO can only watch , without any means to get it back .
With the unbelievable results that Putin has been getting in the last five years , the New World Order suddenly looks like a house of cards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Banks has been terminally ill for five years , but it ’ s now on morphine , barely realizing what ’ s going on .

We live in exciting times.
The unknown that lays ahead for all of us is both exhilarating and scary. Exhilarating in the long term, but rather scary in the short term.

Dropping dollars
Before Our Very Eyes,... Meyssan, Thierry Best Price: $29.44 Buy New $24.97 (as of 05:40 UTC - Details) A little context is required. The New World Order concept is simply the wish of a handful of international bankers that want to economically and politically rule the whole planet as one happy family. It started in 1773 and if it went through important changes over the years, but the concept and objective haven’t changed an iota. Unfortunately for them, international banks that have been looting the planet through the US dollar since 1944 are now threatened by hyperinflation, as their printing machine has been rotating for years to cover their absurd spendings to sustain oil and resource wars that they’ve all ultimately lost. In order to prevent this upcoming hyperinflation, they generated a virus attack on four countries (China, Iran, Italy and now the United States) to spread panic in the population, with the precious help of their ignominious medias. Even though this corona virus isn’t different from any new viruses that attack humans every year, the media scare pushed people to voluntarily isolate themselves through fear and terror. Some lost their jobs, companies are going bankrupt, the panic created a stock exchange crash that emptied wallets and dried assets, resulting in a few trillion virtual dollars off the market to release pressure off the currency.
So far, so good, but everything else went wrong in this desperate and ultimate banzai. The top virologist on the planet confirmed that chloroquine was being used by the Chinese with spectacular results to cure patients, then he improved his magic potion by adding a pneumonic antibacterial called azythromicin, and saved everyone of his first 1000 cases, but one.

This forced all medias to talk about Dr Didier Raoult’s Miracle Elixir, signing the death warrant on our confidence in all Western governments, their medical agencies, the World Health Organization, and medias that were trying to destroy the impeccable doctor’s reputation, while inventing sudden «dangerous side effects» of a nearly inoffensive drug that has been used for 60 years to treat malaria. Not so far away in Germany, internationally praised Dr Wolfgand Wodarg noted that the engineered panic was totally useless, since this virus isn’t any different than the others that affect us every years. This has been an amazing victory for Trump and the general population on social medias, whom exposed together the pathological lies of the official communication channels of every New World Order country. De facto, the credibility’s of these puppet governments have vanished in the air, and from the eye of the storm, Italy will surely exit the EU right after the crisis, which will trigger a domino effect running through every EU countries and NATO members. My friends, globalism is dead and ready for cremation.
Digging the abyss
International bankers couldn’t see it coming in 1991, when they dominated 95% of the planet after the fall of the Soviet Union. It seemed that nothing could halt their ultimate mission to complete their Orwellian dream: destroy a few countries in the Middle East, enlarge Israel, and get the total control over the world oil market, the last piece of their Xanadu puzzle that they’ve been working on for a whole century, starting with the Balfour declaration in 1917.
When Vladimir Putin got charge of Russia, there was no sign that he would do better than the drunk he had replaced. An ex KGB officer seemed like a choice more driven by nostalgia rather than ideology, but Putin had many more assets going for him than first met the eyes: patriotism, humanism, a sense of justice, cunning ruse, a genius economist friend named Sergey Glazyev whom openly despised the New World Order, but above all, he embodied the reincarnation of the long lost Russian ideology of total political and economical independence. After a few years spent at draining the Russian swamp from the oligarchs and mafiosis that his stumbling predecessor had left in his trail of empty bottles, Vlad rolled his sleeves and got to work.

Because his opponents had been looting the planet for 250 years through colonization insured by a military dominance, Vlad knew that he had to start by building an invincible military machine. And he did. He came up with different types of hypersonic missiles that can’t be stopped, the best defensive systems on the planet, the best electronic jamming systems, and the best planes. Then to make sure that a nuclear war wouldn’t be an option, he came up with stuff which nightmares are made of, such as the Sarmat, the Poseidon and the Avangard, all unstoppable and able to destroy any country in a matter of a few hours.
With a new and unmatched arsenal, he could proceed to defeat any NATO force or any of its proxies, as he did starting in September 2015 in Syria. He proved to every country that independence from the NWO banking system was now a matter of choice. Putin not only won the Syrian war, but he won the support of many New World Order countries that suddenly switched sides upon realizing how invincible Russia had become. On a diplomatic level, it also got mighty China by its side, and then managed to protect independent oil producers such as Venezuela and Iran, while leaders like Erdogan of Turkey and Muhammad Ben Salman of Saudi Arabia decided to side with Russia, who isn’t holding the best poker hand, but the whole deck of cards.
Ending in the conclusion that Putin now controls the all-mighty oil market, the unavoidable energy resource that lubricates economies and armies, while the banksters’ NATO can only watch, without any means to get it back. With the unbelievable results that Putin has been getting in the last five years, the New World Order suddenly looks like a house of cards about to crumble. The Empire of Banks has been terminally ill for five years, but it’s now on morphine, barely realizing what’s going on.
