Regardless of one ’ s views as to the most realistic means of balancing human risk with economic risk , all would agree that COVID has both revealed and accelerated critical ( and pre-existing ) fissures in the financial landscape .
The hitherto sacred tenants of free-market price discovery , fair-play capitalism and faith in elite policy guidance have each seen a dramatic fall from grace .
Nowhere is this fall ( and its staggering implications ) more obvious than within : 1 ) the undeniable demise of U.S. small businesses and 2 ) the Frankenstein-like profile of a walking-dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Point of Extinction Small businesses , from sea to shining sea in the States , are dying .
This is not fable , but fact , one easily demonstrated via objective data rather than theoretical bromides .
If one were to envision a room full of 12 jockeys selected to compete in the next Kentucky Derby , the air would be thick with an excited sense of pending competition .
However , if 9 of those jockeys were required to saddle donkeys and the remaining 3 were handed the reins to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much equestrian expertise to foresee the winning trifecta… As comical as such a rigged race might seem , the current setting of fair-play capitalism and the decline of American small businesses is closer than you might think to such a tragi-comedy .
In its purest form , capitalism requires a fair playing field ( or race track ) , not a rigged platform in which the thoroughbreds are accommodated and the donkey-riders are denied hay .
Current market competition in the U.S. , both pre and post COVID outbreak , has been regulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a system wherein survival and victory hinge less upon defined advantages and more upon engineered rules and one-sided policy measures .
For decades , governments , treasury departments , central banks and regulatory bodies have created barriers to entry , lop-sided tax schemes , capital controls and other subtle yet egregious paradigms in which a minority group is favored/protected while the majority group is left without a saddle .
Enter COVID and the Lopsided Race to the Bottom and Top The policy response to the COVID crisis has only heightened and accelerated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a genuine dilemma of balancing the lives of humans against the lives of small businesses , the national shut-down policies have not only risked a mass extinction of certain small businesses , they ’ ve created it .
Smaller businesses in personal-contact areas like retail , travel , hospitality , spas , gyms , hair salons , day care , distinctive health care providers and specialty shops etc .
have been destroyed by lockdown measures while select thoroughbred ( i.e .

Of course , policy makers initially ( or superficially ) sought to help the little guys in the form of PPP loans ( 8 weeks of salary and defined fixed expenses ) and other targeted relief from the CARES Act .
Unfortunately , even for those small businesses who received such aid , they are all out of hay .
Far more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses saw no aid at all .
Even more troublesome , is the quantifiable fact that the biggest beneficiaries of these initial relief measures were the big boys , not the little guys .
As the graph below makes objectively clear , almost all of the relief money went to a small minority of the biggest players .
But it gets worse .
In the wake of helter-skelter , make-it-up-as-they-go COVID policy confusions , the forced shutting down of small businesses has failed to balance human risk with business risk .

Despite the best ( or worst ? )

Small businesses are being carried off the field on their shields , while the big-boy , thoroughbreds are now poised , as Austan Goolsbee recently noted , “ to swallow the world.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ exacerbated a clear split in the U.S. economy .
The big , large-cap names are seeing massive growth as small businesses , once the backbone of competitive capitalism , are disappearing at record pace .
This may explain , in part , an appalling ( highly concentrated ) stock rally in the midst of a global recession and pandemic , which has greatly favored the big boys in tech .
But the tech sector is not the only beneficiary of this rigged game .
Almost all large-cap and publicly traded companies share a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( fast or slow , weak or strong ) bundled together into ETF ’ s passively bought ( and hence inflated ) by pension funds , IRA accounts , defined benefit plan managers etc .
In short , index ETF ’ s ( and the companies that comprise them ) are passively riding a common investment wave of automatic and institutional investment , regardless of the poor surfing skills ( i.e .
balance sheets ) of the vast majority of the companies within them .
As inflated , Fed/liquidity-supported stock markets and ETF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ price ( rather than profit ) inflation allows them to swallow up ( or price out ) most smaller businesses—again , like thoroughbreds racing donkeys .
Big companies , even bad ones with lots of debt ( see below ) , are still flush with liquidity ( i.e .
cash ) compliments of a market-accommodating Fed , whose policies literally mimic the legal definition of counterfeit and fraud .
Meanwhile , the ignored mass of small businesses can ’ t make their lease payments , let alone a profit , in a lockdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 , the big boys on the public exchanges were already sitting upon years of post-08 stimulus and cash in a fixed race that was lopsided well before the COVID handouts kicked in .
Specifically , flows of funds from the Fed to these big-boy balance sheets stood at $ 4 trillion in cash in Q1 , well before the Corona Virus was making its first headlines .
In short , while donkeys were dying of thirst , the thoroughbreds were literally swimming in liquidity .
In addition to direct Fed support , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ P , DOW and elsewhere were the primary beneficiaries of the 2017 Tax Cut , as well as , of course , the all-too generous and aforementioned CARES Act of 2020 , which primarily benefited large , exchange-traded names to the tune of $ 5 trillion in favored loans .
Such massive resources have left larger businesses at an openly unfair advantage over smaller ones .
It ’ s just a simple matter of open ( yet largely ignored ) math and policy .
The convergence of such unfair advantages has given a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies as well as big pharma , consumer credit , fast-food juggernauts and discount retail names , all of whom had already been enjoying unlimited liquidity ( literal “ monopoly money ” ) and hence market support from the Fed .
Today , these same big boys are gaining increasing pricing power and hence monopoly-like powers in rents , acquisitions , innovation , and cost of ( as well as access to ) capital that ought to make an anti-trust lawyer blush .
Unfortunately , these lawyers aren ’ t too busy when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Federal spending on anti-trust enforcement at the Dept .
of Justice and FTC has fallen dramatically as big business has been rising even more so .
The unfair competition accorded to large cap enterprises gets even worse when one just considers the equally appalling rise in the number of big-boy zombie companies masquerading as viable businesses in this twisted new backdrop of broken capitalism .
Zombie companies are those with infinitely more debt than available cash , yet due to their size , enjoy unfair access to low-rate debt/capital and stay “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay yesterday ’ s interest , and then borrowing tomorrow to pay today ’ s debt interest .
Of course , the principal on the debt is not ( and never will be ) repaid .
Instead , “ accommodating ” banks engage in a rigged re-fi game of loan extend-and-pretend programs not available to small businesses , whose size makes them “ riskier credits ” than the too-big-to-fail large-cap zombies , who are the highest of all risk credits .
Again , the ironies ( and unfairness ) abound .
Thirty years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet based upon pre-COVID data from the BIS and OECD in 2018 , more than 12 % of all listed firms in the world were classified as zombies .
Today , that percentage is well above 15 % Such companies are effectively allowed to survive upon unlimited access to debt and cash , while smaller businesses die without a banker in site .
This is particularly shameful , as zombie companies quantifiably suck rather than stimulate the economic growth out of their host economies , whereas thriving small businesses were once the very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that put the U.S. ahead .
A large number of those zombie companies are hiding in a broken credit ETF near you .
But unique and unfair access to cheap debt and unlimited liquidity doesn ’ t just distort the natural lifespans of zombie companies .
Wall Street regulators and banks allow other large ( and largely profitless ) enterprises to issue bonds ( that will never be repaid ) which small businesses simply can ’ t do , and thus simply can ’ t compete .
Sadly , the vast majority of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lame horses .
Greater than 60 % of all corporate bond issuers in the U.S. are rated as junk , high-yield or levered loans—i.e .
the very bottom of the credit risk barrel .
Debt experts who track these and other debt-ravaged enterprises are forecasting a wave of corporate defaults once COVID relief measures ( and big-boy thoroughbreds ) run out of breath in a current bond bubble where corporate debt to GDP has spiked to an all-time high of 57 % .
When these debts fail , bond prices tank , yields @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As the cost of debt spikes , those debt-ravaged big-boys on the big exchanges dip into earnings to cover interest expenses .
But those earnings are falling .
In turn , stock prices and markets tank and hence the Fed steps in to print more money to dampen the fall , as always .
Looking forward , we can thus expect an outpouring of increased money creation and futile liquidity measures to save drowning enterprises that are already technically lifeless .
Such hyper-liquidity/money creation by definition means inflation , which in turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other major currencies .
This , in turn , means those looking to preserve their wealth will be looking to real money which stands the test of time , can ’ t be replicated , hacked , duplicated or distorted .
In short , and in sum , all roads lead back to physical gold .

Regardless of one’s views as to the most realistic means of balancing human risk with economic risk, all would agree that COVID has both revealed and accelerated critical (and pre-existing) fissures in the financial landscape.
The hitherto sacred tenants of free-market price discovery, fair-play capitalism and faith in elite policy guidance have each seen a dramatic fall from grace.
Nowhere is this fall (and its staggering implications) more obvious than within: 1) the undeniable demise of U.S. small businesses and 2) the Frankenstein-like profile of a walking-dead bond market.
Small Businesses in America—Endangered to the Point of Extinction
Small businesses, from sea to shining sea in the States, are dying.
This is not fable, but fact, one easily demonstrated via objective data rather than theoretical bromides.
The Comical Profile of Fair-Play American “Capitalism”
If one were to envision a room full of 12 jockeys selected to compete in the next Kentucky Derby, the air would be thick with an excited sense of pending competition.
However, if 9 of those jockeys were required to saddle donkeys and the remaining 3 were handed the reins to doped thoroughbreds, it would not take much equestrian expertise to foresee the winning trifecta…
As comical as such a rigged race might seem, the current setting of fair-play capitalism and the decline of American small businesses is closer than you might think to such a tragi-comedy.
Survival of the Biggest
In its purest form, capitalism requires a fair playing field (or race track), not a rigged platform in which the thoroughbreds are accommodated and the donkey-riders are denied hay.
Current market competition in the U.S., both pre and post COVID outbreak, has been regulated and administered (i.e. corrupted) into a system wherein survival and victory hinge less upon defined advantages and more upon engineered rules and one-sided policy measures.
For decades, governments, treasury departments, central banks and regulatory bodies have created barriers to entry, lop-sided tax schemes, capital controls and other subtle yet egregious paradigms in which a minority group is favored/protected while the majority group is left without a saddle.
Enter COVID and the Lopsided Race to the Bottom and Top
The policy response to the COVID crisis has only heightened and accelerated this distortion of fair competition.
Caught in a genuine dilemma of balancing the lives of humans against the lives of small businesses, the national shut-down policies have not only risked a mass extinction of certain small businesses, they’ve created it.
Smaller businesses in personal-contact areas like retail, travel, hospitality, spas, gyms, hair salons, day care, distinctive health care providers and specialty shops etc. have been destroyed by lockdown measures while select thoroughbred (i.e. cash rich) mega businesses have enjoyed a revenue bonanza from the same pandemic.
This imbalance is neither random nor related to the talent of the players. Instead, much of it boils down to size, not skill; and policy advantage not fair play.
Of course, policy makers initially (or superficially) sought to help the little guys in the form of PPP loans (8 weeks of salary and defined fixed expenses) and other targeted relief from the CARES Act.
Unfortunately, even for those small businesses who received such aid, they are all out of hay. Far more importantly, hundreds of thousands of small businesses saw no aid at all.
Even more troublesome, is the quantifiable fact that the biggest beneficiaries of these initial relief measures were the big boys, not the little guys.
As the graph below makes objectively clear, almost all of the relief money went to a small minority of the biggest players.
But it gets worse.
More Proof of a Rigged Track
In the wake of helter-skelter, make-it-up-as-they-go COVID policy confusions, the forced shutting down of small businesses has failed to balance human risk with business risk.
Instead, the pandemic policies merely added (and will continue to add) more risk to both.
Despite the best (or worst?) of intentions, the result has been a quantifiable disaster for U.S. small businesses, many of which are either collapsing on the track, or limping toward an ambulance, with potentially 50% about to shut their doors for good.
Small businesses are being carried off the field on their shields, while the big-boy, thoroughbreds are now poised, as Austan Goolsbee recently noted, “to swallow the world.”
The pandemic, alas, has exacerbated a clear split in the U.S. economy.
The big, large-cap names are seeing massive growth as small businesses, once the backbone of competitive capitalism, are disappearing at record pace.
This may explain, in part, an appalling (highly concentrated) stock rally in the midst of a global recession and pandemic, which has greatly favored the big boys in tech.
ETF’s—Magical Oats for the Thoroughbreds
But the tech sector is not the only beneficiary of this rigged game.
Almost all large-cap and publicly traded companies share a hidden advantage, as they are all (fast or slow, weak or strong) bundled together into ETF’s passively bought (and hence inflated) by pension funds, IRA accounts, defined benefit plan managers etc.
In short, index ETF’s (and the companies that comprise them) are passively riding a common investment wave of automatic and institutional investment, regardless of the poor surfing skills (i.e. balance sheets) of the vast majority of the companies within them.
As inflated, Fed/liquidity-supported stock markets and ETF’s rise un-naturally, their share price (rather than profit) inflation allows them to swallow up (or price out) most smaller businesses—again, like thoroughbreds racing donkeys.
Unfair Access to Cash
Big companies, even bad ones with lots of debt (see below), are still flush with liquidity (i.e. cash) compliments of a market-accommodating Fed, whose policies literally mimic the legal definition of counterfeit and fraud.
Meanwhile, the ignored mass of small businesses can’t make their lease payments, let alone a profit, in a lockdown year.

As the pandemic unfolded in 2020, the big boys on the public exchanges were already sitting upon years of post-08 stimulus and cash in a fixed race that was lopsided well before the COVID handouts kicked in.
Specifically, flows of funds from the Fed to these big-boy balance sheets stood at $4 trillion in cash in Q1, well before the Corona Virus was making its first headlines.
In short, while donkeys were dying of thirst, the thoroughbreds were literally swimming in liquidity.
Tax Advantages Too
In addition to direct Fed support, the large-cap big-boys on the S&P, DOW and elsewhere were the primary beneficiaries of the 2017 Tax Cut, as well as, of course, the all-too generous and aforementioned CARES Act of 2020, which primarily benefited large, exchange-traded names to the tune of $5 trillion in favored loans.
Such massive resources have left larger businesses at an openly unfair advantage over smaller ones.
It’s just a simple matter of open (yet largely ignored) math and policy.
The convergence of such unfair advantages has given a particular tailwind to digital tech and communication companies as well as big pharma, consumer credit, fast-food juggernauts and discount retail names, all of whom had already been enjoying unlimited liquidity (literal “monopoly money”) and hence market support from the Fed.
Monopoly Money, Monopoly Powers
Today, these same big boys are gaining increasing pricing power and hence monopoly-like powers in rents, acquisitions, innovation, and cost of (as well as access to) capital that ought to make an anti-trust lawyer blush.
Unfortunately, these lawyers aren’t too busy when it comes to helping small businesses thrive.
Federal spending on anti-trust enforcement at the Dept. of Justice and FTC has fallen dramatically as big business has been rising even more so.
Giving Life to Growth Sucking “Zombies”
The unfair competition accorded to large cap enterprises gets even worse when one just considers the equally appalling rise in the number of big-boy zombie companies masquerading as viable businesses in this twisted new backdrop of broken capitalism.
Zombie companies are those with infinitely more debt than available cash, yet due to their size, enjoy unfair access to low-rate debt/capital and stay “alive” only by borrowing today to pay yesterday’s interest, and then borrowing tomorrow to pay today’s debt interest.
Of course, the principal on the debt is not (and never will be) repaid.
Instead, “accommodating” banks engage in a rigged re-fi game of loan extend-and-pretend programs not available to small businesses, whose size makes them “riskier credits” than the too-big-to-fail large-cap zombies, who are the highest of all risk credits.
Again, the ironies (and unfairness) abound.
Thirty years ago, zombie companies were non-existent, yet based upon pre-COVID data from the BIS and OECD in 2018, more than 12% of all listed firms in the world were classified as zombies.
Today, that percentage is well above 15%
Such companies are effectively allowed to survive upon unlimited access to debt and cash, while smaller businesses die without a banker in site.
This is particularly shameful, as zombie companies quantifiably suck rather than stimulate the economic growth out of their host economies, whereas thriving small businesses were once the very backbone of the fair and thriving economy that put the U.S. ahead.
Rigged to Fail –The Corporate Bond Market
A large number of those zombie companies are hiding in a broken credit ETF near you.
But unique and unfair access to cheap debt and unlimited liquidity doesn’t just distort the natural lifespans of zombie companies.
Wall Street regulators and banks allow other large (and largely profitless) enterprises to issue bonds (that will never be repaid) which small businesses simply can’t do, and thus simply can’t compete.
Again, like donkeys racing thoroughbreds.
Sadly, the vast majority of even these debt-backed thoroughbreds are themselves just lame horses.
Greater than 60% of all corporate bond issuers in the U.S. are rated as junk, high-yield or levered loans—i.e. the very bottom of the credit risk barrel.
Debt experts who track these and other debt-ravaged enterprises are forecasting a wave of corporate defaults once COVID relief measures (and big-boy thoroughbreds) run out of breath in a current bond bubble where corporate debt to GDP has spiked to an all-time high of 57%.
Folks: That’s an appalling percentage.
The Dominos Fall Towards Physical Gold
When these debts fail, bond prices tank, yields (and hence interest rates) spike.
As the cost of debt spikes, those debt-ravaged big-boys on the big exchanges dip into earnings to cover interest expenses. But those earnings are falling.
In turn, stock prices and markets tank and hence the Fed steps in to print more money to dampen the fall, as always.
Looking forward, we can thus expect an outpouring of increased money creation and futile liquidity measures to save drowning enterprises that are already technically lifeless.
Such hyper-liquidity/money creation by definition means inflation, which in turn means the further debasement of the dollar and other major currencies.
This, in turn, means those looking to preserve their wealth will be looking to real money which stands the test of time, can’t be replicated, hacked, duplicated or distorted.
In short, and in sum, all roads lead back to physical gold.

WOULDN’T IT BE SIMPLER, IF THE GOVERNMENT SIMPLY DISSOLVED THE PEOPLE AND ELECTED ANOTHER? Cornell Student Government Fails To Disarm Police, So They Expel Opposition Members And Vote Again.

Members of Cornell University ’ s student government tried to pass a resolution last month that would disarm the school ’ s police , but the resolution failed .
Following that failure , anti-police activists within the student government worked to expel other members who had opposed the resolution and then held a second vote to disarm campus police , which narrowly passed on December 10 , The College Fix reported .
Students said racism was employed by the student government members who wanted to disarm the police , who told numerous white students who spoke ahead of the initial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter .
“ As a white man , you can not be the arbiter of what is and isn ’ t racist and who is a good or bad person .
… You will never be the arbiter because you are a white man , ” Student Assembly director of elections Moriah Adeghe told a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who spoke at the meeting .
Young America ’ s Foundation found numerous other instances where race was used to discredit those who opposed disarming campus police .
“ The chair of the student @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call on minority students over white students after one representative said ‘ I want them to like have their voices be amplified before white people start talking , ’ ” YAF reported after looking through hours of footage from student government meetings that took place over the course of several weeks .
Chukwukere told a student that “ when a black woman is speaking you do not interrupt her ” and , “ You are a white man .
You can not tell me how I ’ m supposed to feel around CUPD.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the student government who supported the resolution circulated recall petitions and held rallies against those who opposed it , removed some of them from subcommittee positions or the assembly itself , and said they were doing it to correct what a “ white-cis-het ” group had done .
Uchenna Chukwukere , vice president of finance for the Student Assembly , spoke at one of the rallies against the student government members , claiming the 15 members who voted against disarming the police “ literally laughed and danced in our faces.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us pour out our traumas and fears on the floor practically begging them to vote no , and finally send a message to the university that we can no longer allow these oppressive institutions to keep us down , ” Chukwukere said at a rally last month .

investmentwatchblog--2020-12-24--Will Anthony Fauci Officially Replace Jesus as Key Christmas Figure in the New-Age Covid Cult?

It is amazing how religious this whole situation is becoming .
Theology : Dualistic “ good god ” of Science vs. the demiurge or “ evil god ” of COVID .
The demiurge is the master of the created world which is viewed as sinful and corrupt , hence why Covidian believers should assume all other people , especially nonbelievers , are asymptomatic carriers ( or polluted with the sin and corruption of the world ) .
Prophets : Fauci , Gates , Tedros and others ’ prophetic writings establish the faith in the Great Reset , a period of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heavenly New Normal .
Sacraments : Vaccination cleanses the believer of the evil god ’ s influence , making them Perfect and will be required to participate in the heavenly kingdom of the New Normal .
Hand sanitizer cleanses the believer from sin to a lesser degree during routine contact with the world .
A stronger penance in the form of quarantine is used for more serious sins of interaction with the world .
Rituals/Liturgy : Mask wearing , social distancing .
These religious articles are also used for superstitious practices such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ evil eye ” through brief contact between individuals outdoors or are used when alone and further serve to distinguish the members of the faith from outsiders .
Individuals who question the dogmatic science must be punished as heretics and this oppression extended to nonbelievers in an even more severe to force them to convert .
Particularly zealous Covidians completely isolate themselves from nonbelievers .
Prayers : “ Slow the spread ” , “ flatten the curve ” , “ we ’ re all in this together ” , “ not all heroes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” , “ mask up ” .
These mantras are repeated in the face of contradictory evidence to strengthen the faith of the believer in the basic truths of Covidianism and to silence dissent .
Castes : The Covidian faith segregates the population into an upper caste of “ essential workers ” and a lower caste of “ non-essential workers ” .
Those deemed worth of “ essential ” status are given additional privileges .
Dogma : Science is settled and infallible and the proclamations of the faith must be obeyed without question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci , Gates , Cuomo et .
al and members of the MSM are able to infallibly proclaim dogma and these tenets must be believed infallibly even when contradictory .
All it took was COVID to establish the first state religion in US history .
Really , it doesn ’ t seem all that different from the 3rd-4th centuries AD or even 13th century when Gnostic beliefs flourished in the face of the breakdown of the existing religious and social order of the West and people were looking for something to replace it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We ’ ve just got a new version for a new era .
The secularized , post-Christian world simply doesn ’ t fill the void so to speak .

In honor of Dr. Fauci's 80th birthday tomorrow, I proclaim Thursday, December 24, 2020, “Dr. Anthony S. Fauci Day” in Washington, DC. We are incredibly proud to count Dr. Fauci among the many DC residents who are sacrificing so much to keep our communities healthy and safe. pic.twitter.com/UqvS4sebMf — Mayor Muriel Bowser (@MayorBowser) December 23, 2020
It is amazing how religious this whole situation is becoming.
Theology: Dualistic “good god” of Science vs. the demiurge or “evil god” of COVID. The demiurge is the master of the created world which is viewed as sinful and corrupt, hence why Covidian believers should assume all other people, especially nonbelievers, are asymptomatic carriers (or polluted with the sin and corruption of the world).
Prophets: Fauci, Gates, Tedros and others’ prophetic writings establish the faith in the Great Reset, a period of tribulation before Science defeats COVID and establishes the heavenly New Normal.
Sacraments: Vaccination cleanses the believer of the evil god’s influence, making them Perfect and will be required to participate in the heavenly kingdom of the New Normal. Hand sanitizer cleanses the believer from sin to a lesser degree during routine contact with the world. A stronger penance in the form of quarantine is used for more serious sins of interaction with the world.
Rituals/Liturgy: Mask wearing, social distancing. These religious articles are also used for superstitious practices such as avoiding the COVID god’s “evil eye” through brief contact between individuals outdoors or are used when alone and further serve to distinguish the members of the faith from outsiders. Individuals who question the dogmatic science must be punished as heretics and this oppression extended to nonbelievers in an even more severe to force them to convert. Particularly zealous Covidians completely isolate themselves from nonbelievers.
Prayers: “Slow the spread”, “flatten the curve”, “we’re all in this together”, “not all heroes wear capes”, “stay home”, “mask up”. These mantras are repeated in the face of contradictory evidence to strengthen the faith of the believer in the basic truths of Covidianism and to silence dissent.

Castes: The Covidian faith segregates the population into an upper caste of “essential workers” and a lower caste of “non-essential workers”. Those deemed worth of “essential” status are given additional privileges.
Dogma: Science is settled and infallible and the proclamations of the faith must be obeyed without question. Prophets and high priests such as Fauci, Gates, Cuomo et. al and members of the MSM are able to infallibly proclaim dogma and these tenets must be believed infallibly even when contradictory.
All it took was COVID to establish the first state religion in US history.
Really, it doesn’t seem all that different from the 3rd-4th centuries AD or even 13th century when Gnostic beliefs flourished in the face of the breakdown of the existing religious and social order of the West and people were looking for something to replace it. And Covidianism is pure Gnostic theology.
We’ve just got a new version for a new era. The secularized, post-Christian world simply doesn’t fill the void so to speak.
Merry Christmas everybody.

An important note and one that is causing a lot of confusion, including in other posts. H.R. 133 is titled the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 which is an “omnibus”. It is essentially a bill made out of other independent bills which is passed all at once.
The bill started as an annual appropriations act. This is the spending the government passes each and every year which gives government agencies like the CDC and NASA money to carry out their programs. Because the federal government will shut down without this bill, it is considered “must pass” legislation.
After trying (and failing) to pass an independent COVID relief bill for months, Congress essentially stapled a separate relief act onto the back of this omnibus bill to make it harder to block. The bill is divided into sections. Divisions A – L are normal, full-year budgets to keep the lights on at federal agencies. Division M is the relief bill.
A lot of the spending items being cited in other posts are from the much larger annual appropriations bill that was simply used as a legislative vehicle to get COVID relief passed. Items like money for Egypt, or the border wall are separate government spending – they are not part of the $900B.

We Are Being Told The “Scary” Mutant COVID In South Africa Is Even More Dangerous That The “Super COVID” In The UK

A new mutant strain of COVID-19 that has been dubbed “ 501.V2 ” has gotten completely out of control in South Africa , and authorities are telling us that it is an even bigger threat than the “ Super COVID ” that has been causing so much panic in the United Kingdom .
Of course viruses mutate all the time , and so it isn ’ t a surprise that COVID-19 has been mutating .
But mutations can become a major issue when they fundamentally alter the way that a virus affects humans , and we are being told that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than previous versions of COVID and that even young people are catching it a lot more easily .
That is potentially a huge concern , because up until now young people have not been hit very hard by the COVID pandemic .
The British press is using the word “ scary ” to describe this new variant , and at this point it has become the overwhelmingly dominant strain in South Africa… If this same pattern happens elsewhere as this new mutant strain travels around the globe , then “ 501.V2 ” could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ older versions of COVID .
Authorities are optimistically telling us that the recent vaccines that have been developed will “ likely ” work against this new variant , but the truth is that they will not know until testing is done .
And if the vaccines don ’ t work against “ 501.V2 ” , we could be back to square one very rapidly .
For now , countries all over the globe are banning flights from South Africa in a desperate attempt to isolate this new version .
The UK , Germany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among the nations that have banned those flights , but so far the United States is not on that list .
So people that are potentially carrying this new version of COVID continue to enter the U.S. on a daily basis .
For the United Kingdom , this flight ban may have come too late because two cases of “ 501.V2 ” have already been identified on British soil… If the new vaccines are effective against “ 501.V2 ” , authorities believe that they already have the long-term answer to this new variant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t work , this pandemic could be entering a far more deadly new phase .
And of course we are hearing about more problems with these new vaccines on a daily basis .
Thousands of adverse reactions have already been reported to the CDC , and more reports continue to pour in as more people get the shots .
Here is one example from New York City… We should not be surprised that there are major issues with experimental mRNA vaccines that are based on entirely new technology that were rushed into production @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are tens of millions of Americans that will never take any mRNA vaccine that literally “ hijacks your cells ” under any circumstances .
On the other hand , most of the U.S. population seems to think that these new vaccines will bring this pandemic to an end , but if they don ’ t work against new mutant versions of the virus that won ’ t be true at all .
It is so important to take a balanced view of these things .
Unfortunately , when it comes to COVID @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The first camp is totally freaked out because they think that COVID is about the worst thing that could ever happen to the United States and they tend to favor extremely draconian measures to prevent the spread of the virus .
But the truth is that the COVID pandemic pales in comparison to other great pandemics throughout human history .
The Black Plague and the Spanish Flu Pandemic each killed at least 50 million people .
As for the COVID pandemic , the global death toll has not reached the 2 million mark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If a pandemic of this nature is freaking people out so much , what is going to happen when a truly killer plague is unleashed in our society ?
The second camp either thinks that the pandemic is greatly exaggerated or that the virus doesn ’ t even exist at all .
Even though hordes of people are catching the virus all around us , many out there continue to deny the reality of this crisis .
I simply do not understand that .
So many people that I know around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that includes quite a few big names .
For example , the following is an excerpt from an article in which Daisy Luther shares what her experience with COVID was like… Days 3-5 : Over the next three days , chills and fever were almost constant .
My joints and muscles hurt .
Getting up to go to the bathroom felt like an expedition up a mountain .
I was tired and winded .
I had very little appetite and even less of an inclination to cook food so I existed mostly on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I was absolutely exhausted and so cold that I shivered violently when I got out from under my bed piled high with blankets .
I had super-weird dreams .
My cough worsened , my head hurt , and my throat was still mildly sore .
I drank lots of water and electrolyte beverages .
My thirst remained unquenchable regardless of how much I drank .
I took vitamins ( C , D3 ) and took Zinc supplements .
These are my regular supplements but I doubled that .
Days 6-9 : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local clinic was long and filled with people who were coughing up a lung .
There was no way I ’ d be able to stand in that line for an hour , as sick as I felt .
Besides , I figured if I didn ’ t have Covid , I ’ d get it standing in the line so I opted not to be tested .
This part made me think of the worst case of the flu I ever had , except intensified by about four times .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run its course but by Saturday I felt so awful that I gave in and began treating symptoms .
My normal temp is in the 96s and my temperature throughout these days stayed between 101-103 .
I staggered ibuprofen and acetaminophen , and I also used a mild muscle relaxant and my Ventilyn inhaler .
The meds didn ’ t get rid of my fever but reduced the chills to a tolerable level .
I slept almost around the clock , waking up for a couple of hours here and there to check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a wonderful team who kept things running for us .
One day blurred into the next and I considered going to the doctor again , but couldn ’ t muster the energy .
I felt like if I just got a little more sleep I ’ d be okay .
My cough was getting far worse and now my ribs and abdominal muscles hurt .
It was a deep painful cough that caused me to clutch my chest every single time inhaled deeply .
So to summarize , yes the COVID pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of the world .
More people are going to get sick , and some will suffer intensely , but the vast majority of those that get the virus will survive .
If you want to wear a mask , then wear a mask .
If you don ’ t want to wear a mask , then don ’ t wear a mask .
We should be free to make our own choices , and we should also be free to experience the consequences for those choices .
Unfortunately , there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that they have the right to censor and control what we say and what we do , and that trend is likely to only get worse as our society continues to spin out of control in the years ahead .

A new mutant strain of COVID-19 that has been dubbed “501.V2” has gotten completely out of control in South Africa, and authorities are telling us that it is an even bigger threat than the “Super COVID” that has been causing so much panic in the United Kingdom. Of course viruses mutate all the time, and so it isn’t a surprise that COVID-19 has been mutating. But mutations can become a major issue when they fundamentally alter the way that a virus affects humans, and we are being told that “501.V2” is much more transmissible than previous versions of COVID and that even young people are catching it a lot more easily. That is potentially a huge concern, because up until now young people have not been hit very hard by the COVID pandemic.
The British press is using the word “scary” to describe this new variant, and at this point it has become the overwhelmingly dominant strain in South Africa…
The new mutant, called 501.V2, was announced in Cape Town last Friday and is believed to be a more extreme variant than Britain’s new Covid strain which has plunged millions into miserable Christmas lockdowns. Cases in South Africa have soared from fewer than 3,000 a day at the start of December to more than 9,500 per day, with the mutant accounting for up to 90 percent of those new infections.
If this same pattern happens elsewhere as this new mutant strain travels around the globe, then “501.V2” could eventually almost entirely replace all of the older versions of COVID.
Authorities are optimistically telling us that the recent vaccines that have been developed will “likely” work against this new variant, but the truth is that they will not know until testing is done.
And if the vaccines don’t work against “501.V2”, we could be back to square one very rapidly.
For now, countries all over the globe are banning flights from South Africa in a desperate attempt to isolate this new version. The UK, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey and Israel are among the nations that have banned those flights, but so far the United States is not on that list.
So people that are potentially carrying this new version of COVID continue to enter the U.S. on a daily basis.
For the United Kingdom, this flight ban may have come too late because two cases of “501.V2” have already been identified on British soil…
Two cases of a new, “more transmissible” COVID-19 variant linked to South Africa have been identified in the UK, the health secretary has said. Both cases are contacts of people who travelled from South Africa over the last few weeks, Matt Hancock said at a Downing Street news conference.
If the new vaccines are effective against “501.V2”, authorities believe that they already have the long-term answer to this new variant.
But if those vaccines don’t work, this pandemic could be entering a far more deadly new phase.
And of course we are hearing about more problems with these new vaccines on a daily basis. Thousands of adverse reactions have already been reported to the CDC, and more reports continue to pour in as more people get the shots. Here is one example from New York City…
A health care worker in New York City had a serious adverse reaction to a coronavirus vaccine, officials said on Wednesday. New York City Health Commissioner David Chokshi said during a news conference that the unidentified worker experienced a “significant allergic reaction” to the vaccine. He added that the worker was treated for the reaction, and is in stable condition and recovering.
We should not be surprised that there are major issues with experimental mRNA vaccines that are based on entirely new technology that were rushed into production without proper testing.
And of course there are tens of millions of Americans that will never take any mRNA vaccine that literally “hijacks your cells” under any circumstances.

FISH TO HAVE FINAL WORD
There’s a smell of British watery climbdown in the air of Brussels as Prime Minister Borisanta Johnclaws prepares to announce an historic Brexit deal today. As this will gloss over all the nasty fishbones we have to swallow, it falls once more to The Slog to investigate the hidden Clauses haha clauses, Claus, gerritt??!!??
As the Brexit trawl went down to the last piece of bait last night, Michael Martin, the Irish premier, confirmed that the final deal would represent the world’s first inter-species trade agreement: “It’s all down to the fish,” he confirmed.
Within seconds of the announcement, Pew Research, Ipsos Mori and YouGov Surveys scrambled to get aboard a flotilla of Small Boats reminisicent of the 1940 Dunkirk miracle. Divers daubed in duck fat and armed with waterproof clipboards plunged into the icy depths of the Channel to test not the beat of the street, but to tickle the fickle feelings of the fish.
However, Brussels-based research organisation Eurofib were first out of the blocks with a sample of four cod, three skate, five sole and two thousand nine hundred and forty one whitebait. Michel Barnier – on hearing the news that 73% of the sample spoke only French – hailed it as a victory for piscean democratic values and a vindication of his All For Us and None for You negotiating stance. But Eurofib went on social media to point out that all but one of the sample catch said they preferred to be eaten by the British, before Finbook removed the post. The only detractor was one cod who said, “How can I answer you with this fucking hook in my mouth, you con”.

Distracting attention briefly from his inability to tell an infection from a falling death-rate, Manflu Halfcock told BBC Breakfast, “I really don’t know what any of this has got to do with the price of fish” before claiming a world first by declaring, “today I am delighted to announce that Ferguson Horby Crystal Balls Incorporated have isolated the new virus Codiv21 which they confidently predict will kill every cod in the world by next Tuesday unless we order an immediate trawler lockdown”.

While speaking to journalists on Wednesday Biden prefaced his response to the student loan forgiveness plan by saying: “I’m going to get in trouble for saying this.” He then went on to call the idea of canceling it via executive powers “pretty questionable,” adding, “I’m unsure of that. I’d be unlikely to do that.”

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal detailed the skepticism of Toyota’s president, Akio Toyoda, toward electric vehicles. This is a big deal because Toyota was the third-largest vehicle manufacturer in terms of vehicle sales in the United States during 2019.
Mr. Toyoda criticized what he described as “excessive hype over electric vehicles, saying advocates failed to consider the carbon emitted by generating electricity and the costs of an EV transition.” He continued:
“Japan would run out of electricity in the summer if all cars were running on electric power. The infrastructure needed to support a fleet consisting entirely of EVs would cost Japan between ¥14 trillion and ¥37 trillion, the equivalent of $135 billion to $358 billion, he said. “When politicians are out there saying, ‘Let’s get rid of all cars using gasoline,’ do they understand this?” Mr. Toyoda said Thursday at a year-end news conference in his capacity as chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.” We are primarily funded by readers.

With that in mind, here’s the bottom line: California is falling apart. Over the course of the last several decades, California has gone from one of the richest places in the world to the poorest state in our country. More than a third of its population hovers around the poverty line. Even before COVID, more than four million Californians were collecting food stamps. More than 150,000 people in California are homeless. They’re living on the streets, in parks, under overpasses, in tents on the sidewalk.
This is a human tragedy caused by the selfishness and the stupidity of bad leaders and their bad policies. If these leaders were judged by their performance, no big-city politician in the state of California would have a job. They know that, so they’re working hard to make certain that they’re not judged by rational standards. Instead, they inflame racial wounds to try to keep the population distracted and divided, to keep the attention away from them and their failures.

The fact that people went from being united against this bill, to suddenly afraid to speak their mind about it is alarming. Now Corporate News outlets are spinning a narrative that Americans are in agreement Trump calling for $2000 checks is evil. Peoole know it isnt, but overnight they stopped talking about it, they are afraid of publicly agreeing with something Trump said, despite being able to do so freely just 48 hours prior. I know at the very least there is a new wave of people being red pilled by it, but at the same time there are far too many people who are willing to let themselves be screwed just to avoid the shaming of agreeing with Trump. This needs to end, for once the 2 sides were united in a common cause, we need to let them know they cant keep relying on their divide and conquer tactics.
