investmentwatchblog--2020-05-07--US National Debt Spiked by $1.5 trillion in 6 Weeks, to $25 trillion. Fed Monetized 90%

I ’ d never imagined I ’ d ever see this sort of spike , though in recent years I added an upward arrow with “ Debt out the wazoo ” to my charts , not realizing just how factually accurate this technical term would become .
The US gross national debt – the total of all Treasury securities outstanding – jumped by $ 1.05 trillion with a T in the four weeks since April 7 and by $ 1.54 trillion in the six weeks since March 23 , to $ 25.06 trillion , the Treasury department reported today .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s hard to even seen them .
WOOSH… What was that ?
Oh , just another trillion .
The flat spots in the chart are the periods when the debt bounced into the debt ceiling .
Yeah , those were the days !
I ’ ve been lamenting and lambasting the stupendous growth of the US national debt since 2011 , the beginning of my illustrious career as a gnat in the big world of financial media .
And through all these years , I ’ d never imagined that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spike in the US debt , though in recent years I ’ ve been adding an upward arrow and the green label “ Debt out the wazoo ” to these charts , not realizing just how factually accurate this technical term would become .
The US debt was even surging at an accelerating rate during the “ Best Economy Ever , ” when there should have been a surplus and a reduction in the debt , so that the government can go into debt during bad times .
I wrote back then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the debt had spiked by $ 1.3 trillion over the past 12 months – yeah , those were the days !
– to $ 23.3 trillion : “ But these are the good times .
And we don ’ t even want to know what this will look like during the next economic downturn.
” Whether we want to know it or not , we now know it and can not un-know it .
And we didn ’ t even have to sit on the edge of our collective chair for long for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s more than just a downturn .
It ’ s the big one .
The nightmare has become a reality .
And waking up or looking away no longer helps .
The government has now signed into law a series of stimulus packages totaling $ 2.8 trillion or thereabouts .
Phase 1 : $ 8 billion , enacted on March 6 .
To fight the spread of The Virus Phase 2 : $ 100 billion , enacted on March 18 .
Tax credits for employers offering paid sick leave , plus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Phase 3 : $ 2.1 trillion , enacted on March 27 .
Largest stimulus package ever , dwarfing the 2009 stimulus package of a mere $ 800 billion .
The CARES Act includes provisions to bail out the investors of Corporate America and financial markets more generally , directly and also indirectly via the Fed ’ s Special Purpose Vehicles ( SPVs ) to which taxpayers provide the equity capital to take the first loss .
The package includes extra unemployment benefits , free money for taxpayers and retirees , funds for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ small businesses ” under the Payroll Protection Program ( PPP ) that quickly tended to flow to well-connected not-so-small businesses , etc .
etc .
This is a huge massive complex bill with lots of goodies in it .
Phase 3.5 or 4 : $ 484 billion , enacted on April 28 .
Refills the PPP and the Economic Injury Disaster Loans , plus sends money to health care providers , hospitals , and for coronavirus testing .
Phases 5 – umpteen : to be enacted soon .
So about $ 2.7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was a mad scramble of lobbying to get all the favorite provisions into the bills .
Now a mad scramble has ensued to siphon out this money .
Billionaires and millionaires will be printed , especially if they ’ re well-connected .
And lobbyists are highly motivated to get even more stimulus packages through Congress .
This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity .
And while these trillions sally forth into the wild yonder , tax revenues are collapsing .
The difference has to be made up with borrowing .
The Congressional Budget Office @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fiscal 2020 deficit to $ 3.7 trillion .
There are only five months left in this fiscal year .
So these trillions are going to have to be borrowed in a hurry .
Fed steps up to the plate , monetizes 90 % of the additional debt .
From March 11 through its balance sheet released last Thursday , the Fed added $ 1.39 trillion in Treasury securities to its assets .
Over the same period , the Treasury Department added $ 1.54 trillion to the outstanding debt .
In other words , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the iron rule in the US – monetized 90 % of this additional debt .
We ’ re living off printed money , pure and simple .
But this was heavily frontloaded , with the Fed buying $ 1.1 trillion in Treasuries over the first 3.5 weeks .
The Fed has since backed off .
Last week , it bought only $ 62 billion .
And it looks like the market will be tasked to digest more of this debt .

I’d never imagined I’d ever see this sort of spike, though in recent years I added an upward arrow with “Debt out the wazoo” to my charts, not realizing just how factually accurate this technical term would become.

The US debt was even surging at an accelerating rate during the “Best Economy Ever,” when there should have been a surplus and a reduction in the debt, so that the government can go into debt during bad times.
I wrote back then, for example on February 19, when the debt had spiked by $1.3 trillion over the past 12 months – yeah, those were the days! – to $23.3 trillion: “But these are the good times. And we don’t even want to know what this will look like during the next economic downturn.”

Our generation got royally screwed by the political correctness movement guys, seriously, don’t be afraid to speak up and be yourself even if you end up being annoying to some people.

Political correctness is pretty much when you keep your mouth shut so that you don ’ t offend any Karen ’ s in the room .
It ’ s what this world is turning into , people are afraid to speak out and say what ’ s on their mind these days because of it , and so what you have now is a room full of quiet pussies too afraid to call someone a pussy because it might be sexist .
People aren ’ t talking to each other nowadays in public , we do not have intelligent discussions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ houses anymore , most people just mind their own business these days and it ’ s incredibly boring .
We have free speech , we can say whatever we want , and so we should start speaking what is on our minds so that at least somebody continues the tradition of having intelligent discussions , seriously , it ’ s like philosophy is becoming a lost art , we all have intelligent thoughts about the world around us , but almost no opportunities to share them with other people , and when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too scared to sound stupid in front other people or risk offending someone with their thoughts and feelings .
We are so lucky to have the internet , without the internet 99 % of us wouldn ’ t know about awesome things like the lost city of Atlantis , and we wouldn ’ t learn about many amazing people from history like Nikola Tesla , because who is going to go read about that kinda shit in a library and then bring it up at a party ?
Most people are not going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy inventions and water powered cars and many of the cool things we talk about here , they talk about football and sports and politics… So what I ’ m trying to say is , try to be more outspoken , and don ’ t be afraid to be annoying , because many people want to hear about the interesting things you know , so don ’ t be afraid to be heard , say what ’ s on your mind even if it ends up sounding dumb or offensive .
Don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are probably the most knowledgeable people who have ever existed thanks to the internet , share with others what you have learned , talk to people about intelligent subjects , don ’ t just live your whole life only ever having small talk about unimportant subjects , your mind is powerful , and we have access to so much information that we can change the world if we start working together , but we have to start talking to each other first .

” The error seems not sufficiently eradicated , that the operations of the mind , as well as the acts of the body , are subject to the coercion of the laws .
But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them .
The rights of conscience we never submitted , we could not submit .
We are answerable for them to our God .
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others .
But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ god .
It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg .
If it be said , his testimony in a court of justice can not be relied on , reject it then , and be the stigma on him .
Constraint may make him worse by making him a hypocrite , but it will never make him a truer man .
It may fix him obstinately in his errors , but will not cure them .
Reason and free enquiry are the only effectual agents against error .
Give a loose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religion , by bringing every false one to their tribunal , to the test of their investigation .
They are the natural enemies of error , and of error only .
Had not the Roman government permitted free enquiry , Christianity could never have been introduced .

If it be restrained now , the present corruptions will be protected , and new ones encouraged .

But commercial airplanes tend to be essentially airborne sardine cans in which germ-filled passengers are packed horrifyingly close together, all breathing the same recirculated air. For those who do have to travel, or who are planning to in the rest of 2020, prudence seems advisable. Passengers should wear masks, and airlines can help keep spacing between them by reducing capacity and leaving narrow, overcrowded seats empty for the time being.

But the other unintended victim is something more significant — feminism. We have gone from “Sisterhood is powerful!” to “Screw you, sister!” in a heartbeat, thanks to the first female Speaker of the House.
The irony of all this is that it is happening because of Joe Biden. He is what we used to call in show biz Fifth Business, that is, extraneous. (cf. the Robertson Davies’ wonderful novel with that title). As I wrote earlier, he is the Chauncey Gardner presidential candidate, straight out of Jerzy Kosinksi’s accurately titled novel (and then film) “Being There.”
Or is he the human embodiment of Gertrude Stein’s oft-quoted description of Oakland, Calif.—“There’s no there there”?
If #MeToo and feminism itself can be thrown over to make Joe Biden president, then anything’s possible.

You are living in the greatest con of all time. An explanation of how this market is rigged and tied to Corona

TLDR : we ’ re all sheep heading to the slaughter .
What do you remember about March 23rd , 2020 ?
If you ’ re on this sub , you remember the sky was falling , we were facing systemic collapse , and we were trading around 18,000 on the Dow Jones , under 2200 on the S & P .
The chart looked like this : Since then , the Fed has announced trillions in monetary stimulus , numerous programs , the SEC relaxed all sorts of rules , Congress passed 2 trillion in relief , and markets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullish things , yes .
But how bullish can they be , amidst a 1Q GDP blowing by the expected -3.5 % to -4.8 % , disastrous earnings reports , 30 million jobless claims in that same timespan , the oil sector CRASHING and trading negative for the first time ever , every economic forecasting model projecting a longer and deeper recession than previously thought , as well as every standard data point ( ISM , housing , manu , etc ) being more negative than the expectation .
For every positive event @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been numerous negative events and data points , and yet this market has rallied at a historic rate : even the NASDAQ is now positive for the year .
6000 points in the Dow Jones .
the S & P has rallied nearly 700 points off the lows .
SO let me ask that question again : what do you remember about march 23rd ?
Well , how about this to refresh your memory : So , let ’ s take a look at the chart since March 23rd , the day humans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the trading floor , the day we decided , okay we ’ ll trust the computers and do everything digitally , we can trust those billionaires and Market Makers and institutions regulated by a government whose very survival depends on the markets going higher regardless of the economic devastation they ’ re going through .
Let ’ s take a look at the chart THE EXACT DAY the human element of trading was removed : Yahoo Finance sucks , but I like the color feature and percentage filled in for you : a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Disney has disastrous earnings , fuck it let ’ s stay above 100 .
GDP blows by expectations at probably the biggest surprise in history comparing real number versus expected ?
Fuck it let ’ s moon .
Powell keeps printing , right , that ’ s driving it higher , right ?
No .
What ’ s driving it higher , is MMs and HFTs using programs to inflate the stocks .

TLDR: we’re all sheep heading to the slaughter.
What do you remember about March 23rd, 2020? If you’re on this sub, you remember the sky was falling, we were facing systemic collapse, and we were trading around 18,000 on the Dow Jones, under 2200 on the S&P. The chart looked like this:
End of week March 20th
Since then, the Fed has announced trillions in monetary stimulus, numerous programs, the SEC relaxed all sorts of rules, Congress passed 2 trillion in relief, and markets have rallied a historic amount. All bullish things, yes. But how bullish can they be, amidst a 1Q GDP blowing by the expected -3.5% to -4.8%, disastrous earnings reports, 30 million jobless claims in that same timespan, the oil sector CRASHING and trading negative for the first time ever, every economic forecasting model projecting a longer and deeper recession than previously thought, as well as every standard data point (ISM, housing, manu, etc) being more negative than the expectation. For every positive event the market has seen, there have been numerous negative events and data points, and yet this market has rallied at a historic rate: even the NASDAQ is now positive for the year. 6000 points in the Dow Jones. the S&P has rallied nearly 700 points off the lows.
SO let me ask that question again: what do you remember about march 23rd? Well, how about this to refresh your memory:
preview.redd.it/5sjcbrhkm7x41.png?width=1850&format=png&auto=webp&s=6614cc36bb9fa85c4a0d66f8fb0a09fe0aed29e4
So, let’s take a look at the chart since March 23rd, the day humans were no longer allowed to be on the trading floor, the day we decided, okay we’ll trust the computers and do everything digitally, we can trust those billionaires and Market Makers and institutions regulated by a government whose very survival depends on the markets going higher regardless of the economic devastation they’re going through. Let’s take a look at the chart THE EXACT DAY the human element of trading was removed:

Yahoo Finance sucks, but I like the color feature and percentage filled in for you: a 23.58% gain. Fucking ROCKET ship. Disney has disastrous earnings, fuck it let’s stay above 100. GDP blows by expectations at probably the biggest surprise in history comparing real number versus expected? Fuck it let’s moon. Powell keeps printing, right, that’s driving it higher, right?
No. What’s driving it higher, is MMs and HFTs using programs to inflate the stocks. Retail traders make up a sliver of volume and portion of the markets. If you think some college kid YOLOing his stimulus check on options is what’s bringing this market money, you’re smoking crack and exactly the kind of autist we expect here on WSB. But if you’re able to think critically for yourself, you’ll realize why this is the biggest con we’re going through:
Pension funds (federal state and local), Billion dollar university endowments, financial investment institutions, Hedge Funds, hold the vast majority of wealth in the markets, and they have decided along with the government, to fuck fundamentals, fuck reality, fuck the real economy, we’re going to inflate the shit out of these markets and prop them up. Algorthimic trading from HFTs can easily manipulate buys back and forth. The SEC has removed all sorts of rules and regulations, and the government is going to intentionally turn a blind eye, because Capitalism itself was at stake. They’re letting the market makers dictate their own reality, and we have severed ourselves from all fundamentals.
So what are the implications? For one, the market is going to trend higher until some big dog up top says it’s time for a taste of reality. My guess is honestly when people return to the floors, and these funds and players have all properly hedged and prepared. They’re doing some illegal shit, insane manipulation, and they’re going to get away with it. To fight them, is to fight the system, and some WSB autist or Robinhood options trader aren’t ever going to win that battle. One of two things is going to happen: they’re going to get away with it and we accept the reality of living in a rigged market, the free market being completely dead, OR: someone comes out with a documentary exposing all this a few years from now, and gets depressed and commits suicide with a bullet to the back of their head.

This article was written by Alan Macleod and originally published at Mint Press News Taking time off from mismanaging a pandemic and turning lifesaving masks sent from all over the country into an art installation , New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared yesterday that he would use the deadly COVID-19 virus as an opportunity to “ revolutionize ” the state ’ s school system , inviting Microsoft founder Bill Gates to implement his controversial ideas about education statewide .
Cuomo did not divulge many details of what his imagined education revolution would look like but did mention virtual education and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best known for one thing in education : charter schools .
“ Bill Gates is a visionary in many ways and his ideas and thoughts on technology and education he ’ s spoken about for years but I now think we have a moment in history where we can incorporate and advance those ideas , ” Cuomo said .
“ When does change come to a society ?

” One of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the world ’ s most popular businessman according to polling company YouGov , enjoying a 54 percent positive and only nine percent negative opinion rating .
Nevertheless , Cuomo ’ s announcement was met with consternation by many .

Cuomo did not divulge many details of what his imagined education revolution would look like but did mention virtual education and remote learning. However, Gates is best known for one thing in education: charter schools.
“Bill Gates is a visionary in many ways and his ideas and thoughts on technology and education he’s spoken about for years but I now think we have a moment in history where we can incorporate and advance those ideas,” Cuomo said. “When does change come to a society?…[when] we get moments in history” he added, “I think this is one of those moments.”
One of only two centibillionaires in history, Gates is the world’s most popular businessman according to polling company YouGov, enjoying a 54 percent positive and only nine percent negative opinion rating. Nevertheless, Cuomo’s announcement was met with consternation by many. “Right-wing Wall Street puppet Cuomo is going to work with billionaire capitalist Bill Gates, one of the richest human beings in history, to privatize public education. “Philanthropy” is a scam.

As a result, the racially diverse city has effectively been privatized and remodeled to exclude much of its poor black population. As Klein wrote:
The auctioning off of New Orleans’ school system took place with military speed and precision. Within nineteen months, with most of the city’s poor residents still in exile, New Orleans’ public school system had been almost completely replaced by privately run charter schools.
While maintaining an affable public facade, behind the scenes Gates appears obsessed with the discredited pseudoscience of eugenics and has made it a priority to reduce the population of Africa especially. He also has funded programs to circumcise millions of men and boys across the developing world. Another of his more questionable ideas is that of tattooing the entire human race with a so-called “microdot” once they have been vaccinated. And, as Whitney Webb cataloged for MintPress, Gates is a close associate of infamous sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, finding a 2001 article noting that Epstein had made his fortune out of his close ties to the Microsoft co-founder. “His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing” Gates said of Epstein in a leaked 2011 email, three years after he was convicted of sex crimes with children.

Early look at data from 100 New York hospitals shows that 66% of new admissions related to the virus are people who were at home, Cuomo said.
He also said a majority of the cases in New York City are minorities, with nearly half being African American or Hispanic.
Most new Covid-19 hospitalizations in New York state are from people who were staying home and not venturing much outside, a “shocking” finding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday. The preliminary data was from 100 New York hospitals involving about 1,000 patients, Cuomo said at his daily briefing. It shows that 66% of new admissions were from people who had largely been sheltering at home. The next highest source of admissions was from nursing homes, 18%.

investmentwatchblog--2020-05-07--China’s Covid Cover-Up, Economic War And The Elites Who Benefit

“ Actually , as Winston well knew , it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia .
But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge , which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control .
Officially the change of partners had never happened .
Oceania was at war with Eurasia : therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia .
The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil , and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem with wars , beyond all the death and destruction they cause , is that they are almost never fought for the reasons that governments claim .
In most cases there is an underlying agenda which the public may or may not discover many decades later , and such agendas are NOT for our benefit .
Wars rarely erupt over mere unplanned circumstance .
Wars are rarely random .
War is a tool for social engineering because it creates widespread crisis for the unprepared masses , and as the unprepared scramble for safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they never could have asserted in peacetime .
Not only this , but in our modern era over the past century there has been a distinct pattern following the aftermath of each war in which power and governance is centralized .
Every time disaster strikes , the proposed solution is centralization and global government .
You would think the political elites would offer some new ideas after 100 years , but no , they only have one idea that they try to sell to us relentlessly .
Today the American people find themselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two relatively new conflicts – the “ war ” on the coronavirus , and the economic war on China .
Neither fight is meant to keep us safe , and both serve the interests of a highly select group of people .
Getting people to understand this , though , is a difficult task .
Certain assumptions are almost always present in war , and the biggest assumption made by people is that the fight is between two governments and two nations .
This is usually not the case .
In fact , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the elites that control them versus the common citizens of both nations .
This fact is backed by considerable evidence collected by researchers like Antony Sutton .
His book ‘ Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution ’ as well as his book ‘ Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler ’ outline a clear and provable conspiracy by global elites to fund both sides of any given conflict and then benefit through further globalization when the ashes settle .
I have been warning for many years about this same dynamic being created between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russia and China .
In my articles on what I call the “ false East/West paradigm ” , I give ample evidence that the very same money elites which control Washington also greatly influence nations like China through a shared ideology .
Yes , that ’ s right , the elites of China and the elites of the US are on the same team and have the same goals .
There is no war , at least not at the top of the pyramid .
Their stated goals include the creation of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the International Monetary Fund and a 24/7 surveillance society in which every person on the planet is tracked through biometrics and through the blockchain .
Without the tracking , participation is denied .
In other words , you submit or you starve .
The pandemic , or the war on the “ invisible enemy ” as Trump calls it , is an excellent cover event for these goals .
China has already launched its own tracking apps and immunity passports using cell phones and QR codes .
These same measures are being pushed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci .
The revelation that China ’ s Wuhan Lab received millions of dollars in funding from the US government for work on SARS-like viruses , greenlit by none other than Dr. Fauci in 2015 , is but one of many instances in a long trail of aid and support that came from the West and the UN to China , from weapons development to economic support to viral research .
Did the US help create a monster ?
If we did , it was a monster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a specific use for .
I have long believed that China would be the primary villain used as a catalyst to trigger the “ economic reset ” that the globalists desire , but the roles of the US and China will remain ambiguous and amoral as this conflict drags on .
For many in the US , China is seen as an economic pirate and now the cause of the coronavirus pandemic .
As I noted in last week ’ s article , this is in some ways true but not the whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the blind eye ) of Western governments and the World Health Organization , the spread of the pandemic would not have been possible .
Now , the other big distraction , the trade war , is about to return to mainstream discussion , and in the trade war we see the forever war unfold .
To be clear , the trade war never ended .
I have said that the Phase 1 deal was a farce of epic proportions and that it was designed to fail as China would never be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US export purchases .
Well , we ’ ll never know now as the coronavirus has become the prevailing excuse to nix the trade deal and accelerate trade tensions .
Of course , in this case Trump plays the monster as he initiates renewed trade attacks on China in the middle of a global crisis ; at least , that is what the mainstream media is saying .
I predicted that this would happen back in January .
In fact , CNN even cites the comparison between Trump and Herbert Hoover at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I also warned would happen back in 2018 .
In this scenario , Trump continues to play the role of bumbling conservative villain for leftists and much of the socialist world though it is really their globalist “ heroes ” doing most of the damage , while China plays the villain for US conservatives as they rally around Trump , a puppet and pied piper leading them to disaster .
Scrutiny over China ’ s role in suppressing the source of the virus as well as the real numbers of infected and dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ West , but of course we are meant to forget in all of this the fact that the elites in the West kept flights going for weeks after human-to-human transmission was identified and thousands had died in China .
We are also meant to forget that Trump and Dr. Fauci denied any threat from the virus for months and defended Chinese data back in January .
The pandemic tango needs at least two dancers to successfully spread .
China did not act alone .
For now , Trump has announced the possibility of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responded to accusations of a virus cover-up with warnings of a possible war with the US .
China has expanded into the South China Sea during the pandemic which is being treated as an exploitation of the crisis .
But ultimately I think the war will be primarily an economic one , as this serves the interests of the globalists most .
The primary target , in my view , is the US dollar ’ s world reserve status along with the US economy .
With the pandemic speeding up the process of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no-brainer that the digital monetary world will end the dollar ’ s long time roll as world reserve .
Add to this the huge crash in oil demand and oil prices to which the dollar derives much of its power , as well as the fact that the Fed has printed another $ 6 trillion which has barely stalled the market collapse and has not solved any of the underlying deflationary problems .
We now have a recipe for what is sometimes called a “ stagflationary event ” , which means price inflation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deflation in other parts of the economy .
Foreign Treasury bond holdings will probably continue to dwindle as this event progresses .
Dollars are sought after for now , but this will change as more and more nations go digital .
For people in the US , I believe the intent is to convince us that China has ruined everything – our health , our economy , our dollar , etc .
I think the war , in one form or another , is supposed to last for a very long time ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything they want .
We are supposed to forget all about the globalists and their creation of the very conditions that led to this collapse in the first place .
Is the Chinese government being falsely accused ?
No , they are a part of the problem and they did indeed help cause a global pandemic and financial crash , but they are not the whole problem .
And this is where big lies gain power – All big lies contain a kernel of truth .
As the crisis events and distractions continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pacific Ocean the elites are currently implementing a technocratic tyranny of epic proportions .
The common people on both sides end up suffering , and unless they are stopped soon , the elites will end up the only winners .

The problem with wars, beyond all the death and destruction they cause, is that they are almost never fought for the reasons that governments claim. In most cases there is an underlying agenda which the public may or may not discover many decades later, and such agendas are NOT for our benefit. Wars rarely erupt over mere unplanned circumstance. Wars are rarely random.
War is a tool for social engineering because it creates widespread crisis for the unprepared masses, and as the unprepared scramble for safety, the state can institute authoritarian powers they never could have asserted in peacetime. Not only this, but in our modern era over the past century there has been a distinct pattern following the aftermath of each war in which power and governance is centralized. Every time disaster strikes, the proposed solution is centralization and global government. You would think the political elites would offer some new ideas after 100 years, but no, they only have one idea that they try to sell to us relentlessly.

I have been warning for many years about this same dynamic being created between the US and the East, specifically Russia and China. In my articles on what I call the “false East/West paradigm”, I give ample evidence that the very same money elites which control Washington also greatly influence nations like China through a shared ideology.
Yes, that’s right, the elites of China and the elites of the US are on the same team and have the same goals. There is no war, at least not at the top of the pyramid. Their stated goals include the creation of a one world digital currency system controlled by the International Monetary Fund and a 24/7 surveillance society in which every person on the planet is tracked through biometrics and through the blockchain. Without the tracking, participation is denied. In other words, you submit or you starve.
The pandemic, or the war on the “invisible enemy” as Trump calls it, is an excellent cover event for these goals. China has already launched its own tracking apps and immunity passports using cell phones and QR codes. These same measures are being pushed forward here in the US by elites like Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The revelation that China’s Wuhan Lab received millions of dollars in funding from the US government for work on SARS-like viruses, greenlit by none other than Dr. Fauci in 2015, is but one of many instances in a long trail of aid and support that came from the West and the UN to China, from weapons development to economic support to viral research.
Did the US help create a monster? If we did, it was a monster that the elites absolutely wanted and have a specific use for.
I have long believed that China would be the primary villain used as a catalyst to trigger the “economic reset” that the globalists desire, but the roles of the US and China will remain ambiguous and amoral as this conflict drags on. For many in the US, China is seen as an economic pirate and now the cause of the coronavirus pandemic. As I noted in last week’s article, this is in some ways true but not the whole truth.

Now, the other big distraction, the trade war, is about to return to mainstream discussion, and in the trade war we see the forever war unfold.
To be clear, the trade war never ended. I have said that the Phase 1 deal was a farce of epic proportions and that it was designed to fail as China would never be able to fulfill the promises they made to increase US export purchases. Well, we’ll never know now as the coronavirus has become the prevailing excuse to nix the trade deal and accelerate trade tensions. Of course, in this case Trump plays the monster as he initiates renewed trade attacks on China in the middle of a global crisis; at least, that is what the mainstream media is saying.

Scrutiny over China’s role in suppressing the source of the virus as well as the real numbers of infected and dead is creating unprecedented tensions between East and West, but of course we are meant to forget in all of this the fact that the elites in the West kept flights going for weeks after human-to-human transmission was identified and thousands had died in China. We are also meant to forget that Trump and Dr. Fauci denied any threat from the virus for months and defended Chinese data back in January. The pandemic tango needs at least two dancers to successfully spread. China did not act alone.
For now, Trump has announced the possibility of increased tariffs for China. China has responded to accusations of a virus cover-up with warnings of a possible war with the US. China has expanded into the South China Sea during the pandemic which is being treated as an exploitation of the crisis. But ultimately I think the war will be primarily an economic one, as this serves the interests of the globalists most.
The primary target, in my view, is the US dollar’s world reserve status along with the US economy. With the pandemic speeding up the process of nations going cashless, it is a no-brainer that the digital monetary world will end the dollar’s long time roll as world reserve. Add to this the huge crash in oil demand and oil prices to which the dollar derives much of its power, as well as the fact that the Fed has printed another $6 trillion which has barely stalled the market collapse and has not solved any of the underlying deflationary problems.
We now have a recipe for what is sometimes called a “stagflationary event”, which means price inflation in certain necessities and hard assets and deflation in other parts of the economy. Foreign Treasury bond holdings will probably continue to dwindle as this event progresses. Dollars are sought after for now, but this will change as more and more nations go digital.
For people in the US, I believe the intent is to convince us that China has ruined everything – our health, our economy, our dollar, etc. I think the war, in one form or another, is supposed to last for a very long time; at least, until the globalists get everything they want.

“Investors have piled into bond ETFs in anticipation of the Fed’s purchases. BlackRock’s $20B HYG, the largest junk-debt product, attracted a record monthly inflow of $3.7B in April”
NY Fed to buy corporate bonds in early May.
You know it's Bullsheet when it concludes "we may need inflation"
The Problem is Not Deflation, It's Attempts to Prevent It@dlacalle_IA
