Economic Terrorism Continues: Ireland Imposes A 6-Week Lockdown
Ireland became the first European country to enter a second national lockdown and Germany’s daily cases leaped to a record high as the second wave of coronavirus spread gloom across the continent on Thursday. Germany is expected to launch new shutdowns and more restrictions on basic human rights to fight the “invisible enemy.” Heads of state governments and representatives of the federal chancellery and Chancellor Merkel have met to decide on new measures (harsher restrictions on freedom.)
Faced with the sharp rise in cases, authorities have toughened the scamdemic measures, such as banning large gatherings and making face masks compulsory on certain streets in Berlin.
Europe Locks Down Again, China Institutes MASS TESTING Of ENTIRE CITY
But Ireland’s five million people have been ordered to stay at home for six weeks, with non-essential businesses urged to shut up shop. The government has said this will result in about 150,000 jobs being lost. Irish authorities have also imposed a strict five-kilometer (three-mile) travel limit, limited bars, and restaurants to takeaway only, and extended a ban on visits between households.
“It’s devastating to see us locked down again… during our busiest line-up for the Christmas period,” Dublin antique jeweler John Farrington told AFP this week.

In France, major cities including Paris were virtually deserted on the fifth night of a curfew affecting some 20 million people from 9pm. The number of patients in intensive care in France has surged past 2,000 for the first time since May. Elsewhere in Europe, Poland’s prime minister said he wanted “red zone” lockdown measures to be extended to the entire country amid a record spike in infections.
Back when the coronavirus news first broke, we warned that the harsh lockdowns imposed in China would spread, and they probably will again. It doesn’t matter whether the public is in agreement with the totalitarian lockdowns or not, the ruling classes of the planet don’t give a damn and will take your freedom at will.
Do not assume we are out of the woods yet. Please prepare. That’s all the best advice I have right now. There is no way to say what’s coming down the pike for us, but one thing for sure is that it is not going to be for our good.

After a mixed bag of PMI data from Europe (UK ugly, Services weak compared to Manufacturing), preliminary October data for both segments of the US economy were expected to rise (despite a trend towards weaker macro data for the last two months).
Interestingly, US saw a mirror image of Europe – with Manufacturing disappointing (53.3 vs 53.5 3exp) and Services stronger (56.0 vs 54.6 exp)
The combination proved enough though to lift the US Composite index to 20-month highs and suggest economic growth is rebounding confidently…
Commenting on the flash PMI data, Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at IHS Markit, said:
“The US economy looks to have started the fourth quarter on a strong footing, with business activity growing at a rate not seen since early 2019. The service sector led the expansion as increasing numbers of companies adapted to life with COVID19, while manufacturing continued to report solid growth amid rising demand from households and businesses. “A slowdown in hiring and weaker new order inflows were in part attributable to hesitancy in decision making ahead of the presidential election. More encouragingly, business optimism surged higher, indicating that firms have become increasingly positive about prospects for the coming year amid hopes of renewed stimulus, COVID-19 containment measures gradually easing and greater certainty for businesses a and households after the presidential elections.”
Perhaps most worrying for The Fed, however, is that Markit found “Inflationary pressures also eased. Despite a further strong rise in cost burdens, service providers sought to generate more sales and limit increases in output charges.”

“Choose Your Liar” Democracy

This article was originally published by James Bovard at The American Institute for Economic Research .
The final weeks of a presidential campaign are aome of the best opportunities to view political perfidy in spectacular colors .
While the media lectures Americans about their civic duty to vote to save the nation , the candidates continue conniving nonstop with no respect for the facts or decency .
After the election is settled , the media and the political establishment will announce “ the system worked ” and Americans must again respect and obey their rulers ( unless Trump is re-elected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandated warning labels for almost everything except voting booths .
Federal agencies require full disclosure of risks for everything from mortgages to volunteering for medical experiments .
People are entitled to far more information when testing baldness cures than when casting votes that could lead to war .
Hopefully , Americans will not be as gullible after the election as many are before casting their ballot .
Dishonesty is the distinguishing trait of the political class , going all the way back to ancient Athens and the satirical plays of Aristophanes .

The final weeks of a presidential campaign are aome of the best opportunities to view political perfidy in spectacular colors. While the media lectures Americans about their civic duty to vote to save the nation, the candidates continue conniving nonstop with no respect for the facts or decency.
After the election is settled, the media and the political establishment will announce “the system worked” and Americans must again respect and obey their rulers (unless Trump is re-elected, of course).
Politicians have mandated warning labels for almost everything except voting booths. Federal agencies require full disclosure of risks for everything from mortgages to volunteering for medical experiments. People are entitled to far more information when testing baldness cures than when casting votes that could lead to war.
Hopefully, Americans will not be as gullible after the election as many are before casting their ballot. Dishonesty is the distinguishing trait of the political class, going all the way back to ancient Athens and the satirical plays of Aristophanes. In 1799, Thomas Jefferson observed, “Whenever a man casts a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.”
A successful politician is often merely someone who bamboozled more voters than the other liar running for office. Political campaigns rely on deception because, as economist John Burnheim explained, “Overwhelming pressures to lie, to pretend, to conceal… are always present when the object to be sold is intangible and its properties unverifiable until long after the time when the decision to buy can be reversed.”
Lying has long been part of presidents’ job description: the names of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon practically became synonyms for deceit. Former President George W. Bush is being rehabilitated by the media nowadays. But Bush made “232 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and another 28 false statements about Iraq’s links to Al Qaeda,” as the Center for Public Integrity reported. Bush’s determination to dishonestly drag America into another Middle East war led to the deaths of more than 4,000 American troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
President Barack Obama received sainthood even before his election and he retained his halo even though he falsely promised dozens of times that people could keep their doctor after Obamacare’s decrees took effect. Obama campaigned in 2008 on a peace platform and then bombed seven nations. Obama promised “no more illegal wiretapping” but he unleashed the National Security Administration to target any American “searching the web for suspicious stuff.”
The 2016 presidential race was a landmark: never before had American voters been obliged to choose between two such widely despised candidates. Routine deceit by both candidates helped make “post-truth” the 2016 word of the year according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
The 2020 race is also deluging voters with near-record levels of malarkey. Joe Biden denied referring to American soldiers as “stupid bastards” (despite a video of his spiel), denies that his son Hunter has done anything wrong (despite the pesky laptop emails), and exaggerated the Covid death toll a hundredfold. Trump has ludicrously portrayed his pandemic response as faultless, wildly exaggerates the economic achievements of his administration, and perennially denies the damage inflicted here by his trade wars. The one certainty is that the 2020 election will not be won by an honest man.
If a new president is elected next month, the media will insist that “this time is different” and that Americans can safely trust the White House again. In reality, Election Day merely marks a brief intermission between campaigning lies and governing lies. Yet, if Biden wins, Americans will be encouraged to pretend that election victories expunge the sins – or at least the character defects – of triumphant politicians. Winners supposedly deserve a “honeymoon” where people pretend they are trustworthy enough to enact new laws and launch ruinous new federal programs.
But nothing happens after Election Day to make politicians less venal. Presidents and members of Congress take oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution. But, as former U.S. senator Bob Kerrey explained in 2013, “The problem is, the second your hand comes off the Bible, you become an asshole.” When elected officials scorn the Constitution, politics becomes little more than promising and pilfering.
America is increasingly a “Garbage In, Garbage Out” democracy. Politicians dupe citizens and then invoke deluded votes to sanctify and stretch their power. In the post-9/11 era, politicians treat Americans like medical orderlies treat Alzheimer’s patients, telling them anything that will keep them subdued. It doesn’t matter what untruths the people are fed because they will surely forget them.
Lies subvert democracy by crippling citizens’ ability to rein in government. As Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco and mentor for Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris, said, “In politics, a lie unanswered becomes truth within 24 hours.” Any lie accepted by a sufficient number of ignorant voters becomes a political truth.
Disregarding political lies paves the way for official crimes. As former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg declared, “When we tolerate dishonesty, we get criminality.” If elected politicians can lie and cover up their actions, then how can any reasonable person not expect to be oppressed?
Politicians assure that voters’ apparent consent is irrevocable regardless of how many lies permeated election campaigns. But there is no such thing as retroactive self-government. Belatedly exposing political lies does nothing to resurrect lost freedoms.
Deceiving voters is as much a violation of their rights as barring them from the polling booth. Only if we assume that people consent to be lied to can pervasive political lies be reconciled with democracy. And if people consent to deceit, elections become little more than patients choosing who will inject their sedatives.
President Obama, in his January 2017 farewell address, criticized Americans who “blame the leaders we elect without examining our own role in electing them.” By Obama’s standard, the perpetual perfidy of the political class would justify condemning voters almost regardless of how they cast their ballots. Obama also condemned people who did not vote. Obama thereby created a no-win situation – except for politicians.
Obama, in his 2016 speech to the Democratic National Convention, also declared, “We do not look to be ruled.” Regardless of the irony of a heavy-handed ruler tossing out that line, it rings true for tens of millions of Americans who make their own liberty their supreme political value.
In the short run, the political game is rigged so that winners capture far more power than many, if not most, Americans would willingly cede to them and vastly more than the Constitution permits. But citizens can reduce the hazards they face by remembering that winning votes never redeemed a rascal. The winner of next month’s presidential election will be a clear and present danger to Americans’ rights and liberties regardless of his margin of victory.

This week, police officers were dispatched to the homes of residents who have tested positive in the Texas city of El Paso to order them to quarantine for 14 days. Those who disobey the order could find themselves brought before a judge or facing a $500 fine.
Similar draconian measures are being replicated across the US, with the country passing eight million infections on Thursday and epidemiologists warning that the nation is surging toward a “third wave” of coronavirus cases.
At least 41 U.S. states have seen a rise in new cases over the last two weeks alone, with the number of new daily infections being reported as 71,600, near record highs. Hospitalizations have similarly hit record highs in thirteen states, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
Activist Post previously reported how Rockland County, New York was issuing subpoenas for CV contact tracing after residents refused to be tracked. Those residents were given a choice to be tracked or face a civil penalty of up to $2,000 a day.

shtfplan--2020-10-25--Doug Casey: “I Wonder If The U.S. Isn’t Devolving Into A 3rd World Country”

In an interview with Kenneth Ameduri of Crush the Street , infamous analyst , and author Doug Casey .
Casey didn ’ t mince words and came down hard on the ruling class and the establishment terrorizing all of us .
Casey begins the interview by explaining that neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden said anything of substance during the recent presidential debates .
In fact , he wondered “ if the U.S. isn ’ t devolving into a third world county ” as the people put all of their hope and faith in the government on one side or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the subject of big social media giants and their censorship campaign .
He ’ s hoping that they [ social media ] are going to “ cut their own throats ” by continuing to centralize power and attempt to control speech .
He also makes the good point that without direct and indirect subsidies from the government these social media giants would be midgets .
“ The Constitution is a dead letter , ” says Casey .
“ It ’ s a document that exists , but it ’ s not observed.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fan of democracy either “ It ’ s two wolves and sheep deciding what to have for dinner , ” he says .
“ Democracy is mob rule dressed up in a coat and tie.
” Casy ’ s interview sheds light on the biggest problem we face today : politics .
The government has initiated a power grab many have missed and even more people are unaware of .
Our future is bleak if we continue down this path .
The printing of money is going to be catastrophic , Casey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will see the destruction of the dollar .
Because of that , he ’ s staying away from all stocks , except gold mining stocks .
All of the awakening of the coming “ Greater Depression ” is forcing people to reevaluate central banking and control .
This coming depression will be worse than the unpleasantness of 1929-1946 , Casey adds .
And a lot of people are figuring it out and dumping the dollar for gold , silver , and Bitcoin .

He got them to sign a waiver, so that I, a minor at the time, could buy equities.
Rarely have I made a decision in the twenty years since, which had anything to do with who was in the White House, since 73% of my net worth is tied to long-term strategies, not to cyclical trades. But when it comes to mining stocks, unless one is willing to absorb the risks of timing his trades wrongly and seeing -50% temporary plunges (which, at times, could even turn into permanent ones, cutting losses when things go south and moving on), one SHOULD NOT ever be in the commodities sector.
Even the world’s best gold stock can’t appreciate in price when gravity is pulling it in the opposite direction. Trading mining stocks boils down to the art of cutting losers fast and sticking with winners for the long haul.
THEORETICAL EXAMPLE: (Total portfolio size $50,000):
* Proper Asset Allocation: Speculative portfolio size (15%, $7,500).
* Proper Diversification: Ten companies, each making up $750, or 1.5% of total portfolio.
* Proper Position Sizing / Stop Loss: Each investment is made in increments of three – 33% initially ($250), additional 33% ($250) if/when the stock falls 20%, last 33% ($250) if/when stock falls another 20%; stop-loss to be set to 36%, below FINAL cost-basis.
Breakdown: Company (A) trades for $1.00. Initial outlay is made ($250 @ $1.00). The stock falls to 80c, so secondary outlay is made ($250 @ $0.80). Commodity prices continue dragging mining stocks down another 20% to 64c, so final outlay is made ($250 @ $0.64). Overall cost-basis: $0.813. Stop-loss is set to: 0.813 *0.64 = $0.52.
Risk/Reward: If the company does what it sets to do: 500% potential returns – (don’t do for less). If company (A) fails or if the commodity cycle turns bearish, potential loss: 36%.
In numbers: $1,000 could turn into $5,000 (winner) or to $640 (loser), so the equation is risking $360 in order to potentially make $4,000, an 11:1 risk/reward set up.
The biggest investment mistake people make, in my opinion, is buying the whole position on day 1.
Right now, the entire investment community is sure of a Biden victory, which will lead to a few months of wait-and-see until the inauguration.
There are long-term trends in place, mixed with short-term sentiment moves. Right now, within the context of a bull market for gold and silver, there’s a short-term trade of higher bond yields. This will hurt precious metals.
Gold could fall to $1,820 and silver to $23/ounce. The mining stocks could undergo a brutal correction phase.
One has to make an individual decision, which boils down to this: Am I willing to stomach a rollercoaster ride until gold surpasses $2,000 again and reaches green pastures?
If one answers YES, then this weakness is a buying opportunity.
If one answers NO, then this weakness is a chance to sell and come back later, when the momentum is strong again.

I love skiing. Since 2010, I’ve visited the European Alps and have enjoyed the slopes of Austria, Italy, France, and Switzerland. I’ve also tasted the powder of Whistler (Canada), Colorado, and Utah (U.S.A.) and have recently been looking at options for this upcoming January 2021, if restrictions allow travel.
In Switzerland, one famous little skiing village is called Davos. It’s the Monaco of the Alps since the parking lots are filled with Bentleys, Porsches, Range Rovers, and Ferraris. Every year, the World Economic Forum meets there. Do you know what the theme is for the meeting that’s just a few months away?
Take a look:
I’m not sure whether you got the memo or not but the elites of this world apparently want a reset, and that includes you.
The world has changed and the most dangerous thing one can think is that it hasn’t or that the changes don’t apply to them. FutureMoneyTrends.com is built on studying just that: trends, so what is true today could be totally wrong tomorrow; the key is to adapt.
2020 has shown that being stubborn, full of self-pride, and unable to exhibit flexibility can cost one a fortune in the markets, bring them to their knees (emotionally), and could cause them to not be themselves and act like a nervous wreck in the presence of others, and this year isn’t over yet…
In fact, we’re nine days away from seeing a very dividing moment for Americans, one that could distance Republicans and Democrats even further – the elections.
Because of the way both candidates are portrayed in the media, neither of them get any respect from their detractors.
It’s a difficult task governing 330 million citizens where half of them think you’re incompetent while the other half, believe you’re a genius.
Why have traders been exiting gold, then? If so much uncertainty is right ahead of us, what’s the logic?
Markets believe that the stimulus checks aren’t coming; not yet, at least. It seems that the $1.8tn package the Republicans want and the $2.2tn one the Democrats are pushing for won’t be able to be bridged in time (before November 3rd).
No free money equals less of a reason to bet on gold for now…
Therefore, gold has downside potential and we believe that the gold bulls haven’t been spooked enough to head for the exits yet, but $100 skimmed off the top would probably do it, sending the metal to $1,820/ounce.
Zooming out, though, you get the birds-eye view of the big picture, and it tells us that while traders like to trade in and out of this sector on a monthly basis, the most reliable trend in finance, which is the DOW/GOLD RATIO, is clearly showing that in September 2018, gold started a new bull market.
If you look at the 20-year bear market of the 1980s and 1990s, you’ll notice that within it, there were several mini bull markets as well. It could be that we’re in a time like this now and that this bull market isn’t going to last for a full decade, but rather that it has only a couple of years in it.
Conclusion:
This isn’t a time to bet big. It’s actually much better to wait for the price to hit $2,000 again – even surpassing its August all-time high of $2,089 – before firing the bazookas.
A new all-time high will confirm the strength of this bull market, in our opinion.
I leave you with this chart, which might tell you how I’m personally feeling about the sustainability of the valuations of the stocks that Robinhood “investors” are betting on.
What’s amazing is that thousands of companies are still down -20% to -80% from where they were in February, yet instead of seeing mean reversion of those, the retail crowd is going for the companies whose present valuations would require 20 years of non-stop growth to justify themselves.
Get real, people!
No company is worth 100-times earnings or 200-times sales…

“ The inconvenience would allow the country to preserve health-care capacity and keep more schools and businesses open.

The ruling class is attempting to change the behavior of the public using social engineering. There’s an effort to get people symbolically muzzled by any means necessary with “the goal” of making masks a social and cultural norm.
Many tyrants are calling for a face mask mandate. A former commissioner of the United States Food and Drug Administration says it may be time for a national mask mandate. In an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Scott Gottlieb wrote the mandate could be “limited and temporary.”
Are Face Masks & COVID Rituals Occultist Symbols For Submission?
“A mandate can be expressly limited to the next two months,” Gottlieb wrote, adding that it’s easier to wear a mask in the winter than the summer. “The inconvenience would allow the country to preserve health-care capacity and keep more schools and businesses open.”
“States should be able to choose how to enforce a mandate, but the goal should be to make masks a social and cultural norm, not a political statement,” he wrote. “Mandating masks has become divisive only because it was framed that way by some politicians and commentators.” Gottlieb agrees with head medical tyrant Dr. Anthony Fauci that the ritualistic shame muzzle should be forced on everyone.
Dr. Fauci Warns of Winter Once Again: “I Think We’re Facing a Whole Lot of Trouble”
“If people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Friday.
Brace yourselves for the possibility of another lockdown. “We’re at a dangerous tipping point right now,” Gottlieb told Margaret Brennan Sunday on CBS‘s ‘Face the Nation.’ “We’re entering what’s going to be the steep slope of the curve, of the epidemic curve.”
The most alarming part of all of this is the attempts to engineer a massive disconnect that they want between families. In Maryland, the governor said this week’s family gatherings were the No. 1 source of transmission in the state, followed by house parties. In North Carolina, health officials reported its highest daily case count Friday and said they continue to see clusters “from social and religious gatherings.”

Americans by and large on all sides feel like something is brewing over the upcoming election. Many of them are stocking up on military gear in advance to prepare for the already promised violence that’s coming down the pike regardless of who is selected to “win” in a mere 9 days.
Conflict is already on America’s streets in 2020, and “tactical apparel” has become a lifestyle industry serving militarized law-enforcement agents and the freelance gunmen who emulate them. Less than two weeks before Election Day, orders are rolling in as the public attempts to ensure they are protected from the violence, according to a report by Fortune.
“It doesn’t matter who gets elected,” founder Roman Zrazhevskiy said of his new customers. “They think that no matter who wins, Biden or Trump, there are going to be people who are upset about the result.” This is exactly how the ruling class is going to play this. They have already planned this out.
“It’s evidence of what many people have been expressing concern about for the last six months — the stress associated with the pandemic, a frustration or anger about various government mitigation efforts and a belief that those efforts are infringing on their individual liberties,” said Elizabeth Neumann, a former assistant secretary for threat prevention at the Department of Homeland Security.
“We’ve seen a large increase [of participation in militia groups] since April — it’s only getting bigger,” said Josh Ellis, owner of MyMilitia.com, which allows users to find groups near them.

Presidential candidate Joe Biden , in his speech in his home state of Delaware , warned the public that a “ dark winter ” awaits us .
He isn ’ t the first elitist or establishment ruling class member to warn us of this either .
Back in May , ousted vaccine chief Rick Bright has warned Congress of the “ darkest winter in modern history ” without a ramped up coronavirus response .

This is a dark winter ahead , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a report by NDTV .

“ We don ’ t have to be held prisoner by this administration ’ s failures .

We can do what Americans have always done : come together and meet the challenge with grit , compassion , and determination , ” he said .

His name was Walter Wallace Jr. He was given repeated warnings to drop the knife. Rather than listen to those warnings, he charged at officers while brandishing the knife.
