Second lockdown in Europe

As the long-awaited “ second wave ” of the corona pandemic sweeps through Europe , another round of severe restrictions , travel bans and rules that prevent the proper function of international business and trade threatens to once again disrupt all kinds of sectors , including the gold industry .
Until only a couple of months ago , multiple heads of state , government officials and all kinds of experts were openly acknowledging the serious risks of another lockdown and tried to reassure citizens , claiming it could be avoided .
And yet , here we are today , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freeze .
There is very little that differentiates this lockdown from the last .
In some places , some schools remain open and some exceptions are being made for business travel and commuters , with strict restrictions .
Overall , however , the severity and the extent of the economic damage of the policy can be expected to be similar , if not even worse , to what we witnessed after the first shutdown directive .

Implications for precious metals investors
As the long-awaited “second wave” of the corona pandemic sweeps through Europe, another round of severe restrictions, travel bans and rules that prevent the proper function of international business and trade threatens to once again disrupt all kinds of sectors, including the gold industry.
Lockdown 2.0
Until only a couple of months ago, multiple heads of state, government officials and all kinds of experts were openly acknowledging the serious risks of another lockdown and tried to reassure citizens, claiming it could be avoided. And yet, here we are today, with most European nations under another near-total economic freeze. There is very little that differentiates this lockdown from the last. In some places, some schools remain open and some exceptions are being made for business travel and commuters, with strict restrictions. Overall, however, the severity and the extent of the economic damage of the policy can be expected to be similar, if not even worse, to what we witnessed after the first shutdown directive.
As many precious metals investors will undoubtedly recall, the disruptions that were inflicted upon the sector during the first lockdown were severe. Border closures, forced shutdowns of refineries, logistical and transport chaos, and an explosion of demand, all created widespread shortages and record delivery delays in the physical precious metals market.
A lot of retailers had to contend with incredible order backlogs and bottlenecks, while they faced significant procurement pressures with supply shortages. As a result, we witnessed considerable premiums and clients often experienced long delays. It is therefore not unreasonable to fear a repeat of this scenario as the lockdowns intensify across the continent.
The situation in Switzerland
As Europe’s and the world’s major gold hub, the rules and restrictions that can affect production, trade and transport in Switzerland obviously play a major role and are of great concern to precious metals investors.

Overall, the internal Covid-related regulations and policies have so far been somewhat more relaxed and permissive in the small alpine nation, especially compared to its neighbors and the rest of its Western peers. There is no total, national lockdown, nor is there a central directive to stop all economic activities and remain confined at home, as is the case elsewhere in Europe. There are, however, different approaches on a cantonal level, as the 26 cantons have autonomy on health matters. Some cantons, especially in the French-speaking regions, have chosen to adopt much harsher measures than others, as well as partial lockdowns, including the forced shutdown of restaurants, bars and sports facilities.
Nevertheless, the Swiss gold industry is also affected by measures taken by neighboring countries. This especially relevant and concerning, as the Italian Premier, Giuseppe Conte, announced fresh border closures just a few days ago. These new restrictions mean that all tourism, leisure, shopping travel is prohibited and the northern border is largely closed with Switzerland. Obviously, this has serious implications for local business owners and for all sectors that rely on tourism, with Ticino being particularly severely impacted.
However, the new rules do make some exceptions for business and trade border crossings at the moment. So far, workers and commuters are allowed to pass through, and that is good news for Swiss refineries that in some cases heavily rely on Italian employees. What’s more, it seems that the exceptions that are presently in place will likely help the sector avoid the shortages and large-scale disruptions that we saw during the first lockdown. Another key difference this time around, is that there are enough metals to be refined in Switzerland, whereas last time, there was a shortage of that too, due to the sudden transport restrictions and logistical cross-border chaos that ensued. Thus, any disruptions this time are more likely to be caused by labor problems and a weaker workforce, rather than the lack of raw metals themselves.
It is still important to highlight that there is no guarantee that these exceptions will remain in place. Officials from either country have made no commitments on this point. To the contrary, all public statements generally tend to leave all possibilities of further escalation purposefully open, which indicates that no present exception should be taken for granted.
So far, we have already witnessed a noticeable increase in delivery delays from major refineries. For instance, we saw delivery times be extended up to 4 months for physical silver, and up to 1-2 months for gold. Although the situation is not at this point as dire as what we saw during the first lockdown and we can’t be sure if it will in fact persist, or be summarily resolved, I do think it is important to give a heads up to investors. Naturally, I have no way of knowing if this will escalate and if we’ll see shortages again, but it’s still wise to keep these possibilities in mind and to plan accordingly.
What is even more important, no matter how this trend develops, is that precious metals investors exercise great caution and due diligence in their selection of partners, retailers and advisors. Little details can make a huge difference when it comes to buying and storing precious metals and working with reputable companies and professionals with a long and solid track record is key. Not only does this offer a much better chance to get your metals as fast as possible without paying high premiums above physical market levels, as established retailers took advantage of the summer months to adequately prepare and stock up, but it also addresses the risk of fraud, that tends to skyrocket during uncertain times like these.

Until now, SoftBank has shrouded the unit in secrecy, declining to say who was in charge of the unit or what its decision-making process was, after the FT revealed that it was the so-called “Nasdaq whale” buying billions of dollars of derivatives on US tech stocks over the summer.
SoftBank said in August that it was planning to invest about $10bn in publicly traded tech stocks as a way to diversify a portfolio that is heavily reliant on shares in Chinese ecommerce group Alibaba.
But by the end of September, Northstar had purchased nearly $17bn of shares in US tech companies, including $6.3bn in Amazon, $2.2bn in Facebook, $1.8bn in Zoom and $1.4bn in Alphabet.
It invested another $3.4bn in equity derivatives. The trades included “long call options” — bets on rising stock prices that provide the right to buy stocks at a preset price on future dates — that were worth $4.7bn by the end of September.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-12--Get Ready For Chaos Regardless Of Who Ends Up In The White House

This article was written by Brandon Smith In July of this year in my article ‘ Election 2020 : The Worst Case Scenario Is The Most Likely One ’ , after I outlined the strange factors surrounding Biden and Trump , I stated that : “ These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election which ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process .
This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.
” I also noted the predictive programming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Council On Foreign Relations like Max Boot to acclimated the public to the idea of a contested election while also “ wargaming ” ( planning ) that exact outcome .
I stated : “ …Boot is back again , this time writing about how he thinks Donald Trump will try to “ hijack ” the presidency in 2020 .
In an article for the Washington post titled ‘ What If Trump Loses But Insists He Won ’ , Boot outlines a scenario that was “ war gamed ” by a group called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played out a scenario in which there is a razor thin victory for Joe Biden , followed by actions by Trump to keep control of the presidency through lies and legal wrangling .
The group also predicted civil unrest leading to potential “ civil war ” as the fight over the White House expands .
This article is , I believe , an attempt at predictive programming by the establishment .
They are TELLING US exactly what is about to happen .
A contested election , civil war , martial law , economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from within.
” So far it appears my prediction was correct .
As I write this the Trump Administration is filing suit in Pennsylvania over suspicious ballot actions including blocking Republican observers from watching the vote count .
The fact that PA is allowing mail-in votes to be counted even though they are postmarked well after the cut-off date will also come into question .
Evidence of ballot fraud is popping up in multiple swing states ; it ’ s starting to look like Trump might remain in office after all .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ verified by the courts then the election situation changes completely .
Millions of Americans will lose faith in the process and the election itself would be invalidated .
Even if the uncovered fraud is not proven to have effectively shifted the vote in favor of Biden , no conservative will accept Biden as president , and the Trump Administration will have a perfect rationale for refusing to concede the White House .
Many Americans do not seem to understand the dynamic at play here .
They think “ winning ” the vote count @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is not actually the case .
Trump is already in possession of the White House – If he will not leave because of possible election tampering , then who is going to remove him ?
Perhaps one of the alphabet agencies , but on whose orders or authority ?
The military won ’ t remove him as the majority of them are conservative , and certainly not the Democrats as they have no ability to project power .
Trump stays in because the only people that could possibly pressure him to leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so .
Another scenario could involve “ activist ” state electors .
Voters within the electoral college do not necessarily have to vote according to the popular vote within their respective states .
Some states have laws that bind electors , but many do not , including Pennsylvania , Georgia , Arizona , and Minnesota .
The states that do have laws have little ability to enforce them , and activist electors can only be slapped with a misdemeanor .
Basically , there is nothing anyone can do to stop the electoral college @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If electors in swing states congregate in December to cast their votes and decide to cast for Trump instead of Biden because they suspect ballot fraud , this would be perfectly legal , and again , Trump stays in office .
Then there is the issue of congress finalizing the election results .
Neither party currently holds a 218 seat majority in congress , and if one half of representatives refuse to validate the election then challenges to the results will arise .
Once again there is a problem of legitimacy going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that these factors and many more are giving conservatives continued hope of pulling out an election “ victory ” .
However , I want readers to set aside the concept of “ winning ” for a moment and consider the bigger picture .
I was able to predict the outcome of the 2020 election ( so far ) because I based my analysis on what would be the most advantageous result for the globalist establishment .
Meaning , even if Trump stays in the Oval Office , the globalists have much to gain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the situation – Trump ’ s cabinet is LOADED with globalists from the Council on Foreign Relations as well as numerous banking elites .
If they want to steer the election response from Trump ’ s side , they easily can .
Trump is contesting the election because he is being advised to do so .
Second , the mainstream media and the Biden campaign are already preemptively declaring Biden the winner .
This sets the stage for a dangerous dynamic ; consider what would happen if leftists go into December/January under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the bag , when suddenly it is all snatched away from them ?
This narrative creates the ultimate rage scenario for the political left ; they will consider Trump a usurper of the presidency and from that point on they will rationalize any and all mob violence .
This civil unrest will be blamed entirely on Trump and conservatives .
Third , a mass unrest event triggers a demand for law and order .
There are two ways this can be achieved : A constitutional way and an unconstitutional way .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ push for the unconstitutional response , meaning they will push for martial law .
Martial law will inevitably lead to numerous violations of the Bill of Rights , which are UNACCEPTABLE under ANY circumstances .
Not only this , but what would happen if conservatives , normally staunch defenders of individual rights , suddenly decide it ’ s okay to trample those rights in the name of “ defeating the political left ” ?
We become the greatest hypocrites of the age , we lose the moral high ground in the long term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we argue for liberty in the future .
The greatest defenders of freedom become freedom ’ s greatest destroyers .
Again , the globalists benefit .
Anyone who tells you martial law is “ the lesser evil ” and that we have no other choice has an agenda they are not being honest about .
Fourth , with Trump still in office the establishment ’ s “ great reset ” agenda will continue using conservatives as the scapegoats of the economic collapse they created .
Beyond that , the contested election can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instability .
The central banks which have used endless stimulus measures to inflate the massive “ Everything Bubble ” ever since 2008 need to divert blame for the bubble ’ s eventual implosion , and now they have numerous distractions that will allow them to do just that .
Fifth , even if millions of Americans view Trump ’ s actions as justified and the election results as rigged , much of the rest of the world will treat Trump and conservatives as pariahs .
The situation becomes much worse if conservatives support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that America is under illegitimate and tyrannical rule , and that international intervention may be required .
At the very least , there will be global economic penalties , including the loss of the dollar ’ s world reserve status which will lead to a flood of dollars returning to the US from overseas and hyperinflation in prices .
Now don ’ t get me wrong , a Biden presidency will lead to immediate and violent repercussions as well , but conservatives need to wake up to the reality that a Trump presidency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their problems or fears .
It ’ s a Catch-22 situation .
Under Biden , expect the economic crash to speed up dramatically .
Biden will initiate Level 4 lockdowns nationwide within weeks of becoming president and this will cause the destruction of the small business sector , which is already barely hanging on for dear life .
The globalists will have to bring down the economy faster under Biden so that they can claim the crash is a residual effect of the Trump Administration .
If they wait too long , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extension the globalists .
Level 4 lockdowns would also help prevent conservatives from relocating to more friendly states and regions .
And , they would help prevent conservatives from congregating in large groups and organizing resistance to leftist policies .
Censorship of conservative voices and platforms will have to accelerate under Biden as well , because the more conservatives are able to share information in real time , the more galvanized they will become and the more confident they will be in refusing to submit to pandemic restrictions ( among other things ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will start directly censoring conservative websites that use their servers .
Sites like mine will be removed from the web entirely , or filtered out completely by search algorithms .
Finally , under Biden there will be an immediate call for draconian gun control measures and perhaps even gun confiscation .
This will be done by executive order , and it is likely that Red Flag laws will be used .
A leftist or globalist agenda can not progress while conservatives are armed .
It is impossible .

This article was written by Brandon Smith
In July of this year in my article ‘Election 2020: The Worst Case Scenario Is The Most Likely One’, after I outlined the strange factors surrounding Biden and Trump, I stated that:
“These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election which ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process. This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.”
I also noted the predictive programming campaign by the media and members of the Council On Foreign Relations like Max Boot to acclimated the public to the idea of a contested election while also “wargaming” (planning) that exact outcome. I stated:
“…Boot is back again, this time writing about how he thinks Donald Trump will try to “hijack” the presidency in 2020.
In an article for the Washington post titled ‘What If Trump Loses But Insists He Won’, Boot outlines a scenario that was “war gamed” by a group called the Transition Integrity Project. The group played out a scenario in which there is a razor thin victory for Joe Biden, followed by actions by Trump to keep control of the presidency through lies and legal wrangling. The group also predicted civil unrest leading to potential “civil war” as the fight over the White House expands.
This article is, I believe, an attempt at predictive programming by the establishment. They are TELLING US exactly what is about to happen. A contested election, civil war, martial law, economic collapse and the US will be destroyed from within.”
So far it appears my prediction was correct. As I write this the Trump Administration is filing suit in Pennsylvania over suspicious ballot actions including blocking Republican observers from watching the vote count. The fact that PA is allowing mail-in votes to be counted even though they are postmarked well after the cut-off date will also come into question. Evidence of ballot fraud is popping up in multiple swing states; it’s starting to look like Trump might remain in office after all.
If ANY of the reports of fraud are verified by the courts then the election situation changes completely. Millions of Americans will lose faith in the process and the election itself would be invalidated. Even if the uncovered fraud is not proven to have effectively shifted the vote in favor of Biden, no conservative will accept Biden as president, and the Trump Administration will have a perfect rationale for refusing to concede the White House.
Many Americans do not seem to understand the dynamic at play here. They think “winning” the vote count means an automatic Biden presidency, but this is not actually the case. Trump is already in possession of the White House – If he will not leave because of possible election tampering, then who is going to remove him? Perhaps one of the alphabet agencies, but on whose orders or authority? The military won’t remove him as the majority of them are conservative, and certainly not the Democrats as they have no ability to project power. Trump stays in because the only people that could possibly pressure him to leave (conservatives) will probably not do so.
Another scenario could involve “activist” state electors. Voters within the electoral college do not necessarily have to vote according to the popular vote within their respective states. Some states have laws that bind electors, but many do not, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Minnesota. The states that do have laws have little ability to enforce them, and activist electors can only be slapped with a misdemeanor. Basically, there is nothing anyone can do to stop the electoral college from voting for Trump instead of Biden.
If electors in swing states congregate in December to cast their votes and decide to cast for Trump instead of Biden because they suspect ballot fraud, this would be perfectly legal, and again, Trump stays in office.
Then there is the issue of congress finalizing the election results. Neither party currently holds a 218 seat majority in congress, and if one half of representatives refuse to validate the election then challenges to the results will arise. Once again there is a problem of legitimacy going forward for Joe Biden.
I realize that these factors and many more are giving conservatives continued hope of pulling out an election “victory”. However, I want readers to set aside the concept of “winning” for a moment and consider the bigger picture.
I was able to predict the outcome of the 2020 election (so far) because I based my analysis on what would be the most advantageous result for the globalist establishment. Meaning, even if Trump stays in the Oval Office, the globalists have much to gain.
First, lets not be naive about the situation – Trump’s cabinet is LOADED with globalists from the Council on Foreign Relations as well as numerous banking elites. If they want to steer the election response from Trump’s side, they easily can. Trump is contesting the election because he is being advised to do so.
Second, the mainstream media and the Biden campaign are already preemptively declaring Biden the winner. This sets the stage for a dangerous dynamic; consider what would happen if leftists go into December/January under the assumption that they have the presidency in the bag, when suddenly it is all snatched away from them? This narrative creates the ultimate rage scenario for the political left; they will consider Trump a usurper of the presidency and from that point on they will rationalize any and all mob violence. This civil unrest will be blamed entirely on Trump and conservatives.
Third, a mass unrest event triggers a demand for law and order. There are two ways this can be achieved: A constitutional way and an unconstitutional way. The elites in Trump’s cabinet will push for the unconstitutional response, meaning they will push for martial law. Martial law will inevitably lead to numerous violations of the Bill of Rights, which are UNACCEPTABLE under ANY circumstances.
Not only this, but what would happen if conservatives, normally staunch defenders of individual rights, suddenly decide it’s okay to trample those rights in the name of “defeating the political left”? We become the greatest hypocrites of the age, we lose the moral high ground in the long term and no one will listen to us when we argue for liberty in the future. The greatest defenders of freedom become freedom’s greatest destroyers. Again, the globalists benefit.
Anyone who tells you martial law is “the lesser evil” and that we have no other choice has an agenda they are not being honest about.

Fourth, with Trump still in office the establishment’s “great reset” agenda will continue using conservatives as the scapegoats of the economic collapse they created. Beyond that, the contested election can be used as further excuse for economic instability. The central banks which have used endless stimulus measures to inflate the massive “Everything Bubble” ever since 2008 need to divert blame for the bubble’s eventual implosion, and now they have numerous distractions that will allow them to do just that.
Fifth, even if millions of Americans view Trump’s actions as justified and the election results as rigged, much of the rest of the world will treat Trump and conservatives as pariahs. The situation becomes much worse if conservatives support martial law. The narrative will be that America is under illegitimate and tyrannical rule, and that international intervention may be required. At the very least, there will be global economic penalties, including the loss of the dollar’s world reserve status which will lead to a flood of dollars returning to the US from overseas and hyperinflation in prices.
Now don’t get me wrong, a Biden presidency will lead to immediate and violent repercussions as well, but conservatives need to wake up to the reality that a Trump presidency is not an answer to any of their problems or fears. It’s a Catch-22 situation.
Under Biden, expect the economic crash to speed up dramatically. Biden will initiate Level 4 lockdowns nationwide within weeks of becoming president and this will cause the destruction of the small business sector, which is already barely hanging on for dear life. The globalists will have to bring down the economy faster under Biden so that they can claim the crash is a residual effect of the Trump Administration. If they wait too long, the blame will fall on Biden and by extension the globalists.
Level 4 lockdowns would also help prevent conservatives from relocating to more friendly states and regions. And, they would help prevent conservatives from congregating in large groups and organizing resistance to leftist policies.
Censorship of conservative voices and platforms will have to accelerate under Biden as well, because the more conservatives are able to share information in real time, the more galvanized they will become and the more confident they will be in refusing to submit to pandemic restrictions (among other things). I believe that web service providers will start directly censoring conservative websites that use their servers. Sites like mine will be removed from the web entirely, or filtered out completely by search algorithms.
Finally, under Biden there will be an immediate call for draconian gun control measures and perhaps even gun confiscation. This will be done by executive order, and it is likely that Red Flag laws will be used. A leftist or globalist agenda cannot progress while conservatives are armed. It is impossible. No one will go along with pandemic restrictions in conservative leaning states. No one will agree to carbon controls. No one will adopt new and insane hate speech laws designed by social justice lunatics.
A Biden presidency would galvanize and unify conservative groups more than anything in recent history. Eventually, conservatives will revolt (including many in the military and law enforcement) and there will be nothing leftists or globalists can do about it. Disarmament would have to happen quickly.
This is why I believe that Trump staying in office is a better model for the globalists. Tricking conservatives into jubilantly supporting martial law measures and bringing in tyranny under their own banner is a better tactic than creating a direct confrontation between conservatives and globalists through Biden’s lockdowns.
As mentioned above, though, there is a solution. Welcome a Trump presidency if fraud is discovered but refuse to support martial law. Instead, conservatives can protect their own towns and counties by organizing community security for themselves. There is no need for the military to take on domestic security concerns. Rather, conservatives must react as many did in Idaho during the BLM riots.
When BLM and Antifa tried to bus hundreds of protesters into rural parts of the Northwest, conservative groups fielded hundreds of armed members of the community to maintain security. BLM and Antifa activists remained relatively peaceful and quiet, there was no looting and no one was hurt (as opposed to numerous other cities). It was the best possible outcome.
This model must be enacted all over the country, and Americans must take their security into their own hands. I would even suggest we start using the “M word” again: Militia.
Conservatives states and counties should start seriously considering the formation of community militias, because government cannot be trusted to remain benevolent or just when it is given the ultimate power of martial law. In the event of a Biden presidency, militias will also be necessary as a deterrent to totalitarian enforcement of federal pandemic lockdowns. If leftists want to destroy their own local economies through unnecessary lockdowns, let them. Conservatives don’t need to follow the lemmings off that cliff.
Constitutionally, militias are supposed to be verified by state governments. This might not be possible. If not, then communities should form militias anyway; just don’t call it an official or “organized” militia. If state governments try to sabotage such measures then they should be bypassed and ignored. We don’t need them in order to provide security for ourselves.
If this solution is not taken seriously and conservatives do not take matters into their own hands, I foresee catastrophe. Either we will be lured into giving credence to liberty crushing martial law, or, we will be at the mercy of Biden’s medical tyranny. The future depends on us…

(Natural News) Pfizer’s latest claim that its experimental Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine tested out at 90 percent effectiveness has sent President Donald Trump into a tailspin.
Since the announcement came just a few days after election day, Trump is convinced that the timing was somehow intended to hurt his chances of getting reelected.
Trump went off on Twitter right after the news broke, accusing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Democrats of trying to prevent him from gaining a “vaccine win” by delivering the news after Nov. 3.
“The @US_FDA and the Democrats didn’t want to have me get a Vaccine WIN, prior to the election, so instead it came out five days later – As I’ve said all along!” Trump ranted.

These people put their names and necks on the line in coming forward in our charged political environment. A court will now determine whether their claims are sufficient to merit adjudication. Twitter, on the other hand, is in no position to do so. Yet after my tweet started circulating widely, suddenly the purported non-publisher stepped in and made its own ruling: “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” It slapped this flag on the tweet. Retweets meet a warning. One can now only share the tweet by adding text responding to it.

Simply put, events outran our understanding of them. The future already manifested while we were trying to cram the present arrangement into an obsolete conceptual framework.
In broad-brush, the post-World War II era ended around 1970. The legitimate prosperity of 1946-1970 was based on cheap oil controlled by the U.S. and the hegemony of the U.S. dollar. Everything else was merely decoration.
The Original Sin to hard-money advocates was America’s abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, but this was the only way to maintain hegemony. Maintaining the reserve currency is tricky, as the nation issuing the reserve currency has to supply the global economy with enough of the currency to grease commerce and stock central bank reserves around the world.
As the global economy expanded, the only way the U.S. could send enough dollars overseas was to run trade deficits, which in a gold standard meant the gold reserves would go to zero as trading partners holding dollars would exchange the currency for gold.
So the choice was: give up the reserve currency and the hegemony of the U.S. dollar by jacking up the dollar’s value so high that imports would collapse, or accept that hegemony was no longer compatible with the gold standard. It wasn’t a difficult decision: who would give up global hegemony, and for what?
Many other dynamics changed around the same time: social, cultural, political. These charts reflect the end of the postwar era and the ushering in of a new era.
Again in broad-brush, the key economic dynamic was the decline of labor’s share of the economy in favor of capital. Those who had only their labor to sell lost purchasing power, while those who could borrow or access capital benefited enormously.

This capital-friendly era was rocket-boosted by financialization in the 1980s, technology in the 1990s and globalization in the early 21st century. You can see each advance of capital’s top tier–the top 0.1%–in the chart below: the top 0.1% first pulled away in the 1980s financialization, stutter-stepped in the early 1990s and then exploded higher as technology fueled capital’s leverage and exposure to the gains reaped by computers and the Internet.
Alas, these extremes are not stable or sustainable, and so each wave ends in a devastating crash. The income of the top 0.1% took a hit as the dotcom bubble burst, but then China’s entry into the WTO saved the day as rampant globalization and additional extremes of financial leverage and fraud boosted their fortunes in the 2000s.
The dual extremes of financialization and globalization created the 2008 bubble, and its collapse almost took down the entire global capital house of cards. Central banks, ultimately financed by the Fed to the tune of $29 trillion, twice the size of America’s entire GDP, instituted The Great Reset under the usual guise of “emergency measures” which then became permanent policies.
The Great Reset led to the hyper-centralization of control over the global economy’s money as central banks coordinated unprecedented money-printing and financial repression, which includes zero-interest rate policies (ZIRP), as the debt-bubble would pop if rates aren’t nailed down to zero.
All the PR being spewed about The Great Reset is the final frantic flailing of a system that’s drowning in its own excesses. The 50-year long era of the few enriching themselves as the expense of the many has ended, for the same reason eras of extreme exploitation always end–the elites got too greedy and overshot the economy’s ability to sustain their rapidly expanding share of the income and wealth.
Put another way: the elites have cannibalized the system so thoroughly that there’s nothing left to steal, exploit or cannibalize. The hyper-centralized global money control has run out of rope as the cheap oil is gone, debts have ballooned to the point there is no way they’ll ever be paid down, and the only thing staving off collapse is money-printing, which holds the seeds of its own demise.
Allow me to summarize the only way The Great Reset envisioned by global elites can actually manifest: The Martians arrive towing huge meteorites of pure lithium and gold, and rather than incinerating the global elites, they hand the global elites the meteorites to further their concentration of wealth and power.
Short of that science fiction, this sucker’s going down. The Great Reset has already run its course after 12 long years of artifice, fraud and trickery. So global elite shills, lackeys, factotums, toadies and apparatchiks–prepare for your Wil-E-Coyote moment of truth.


investmentwatchblog--2020-11-13--A Biden Presidency Would Be A Dream Scenario For Our Corporate Overlords

One of the biggest reasons why the elite hate Donald Trump so much is because they can ’ t control him .
But if Joe Biden ends up in the White House , that won ’ t be a problem .
Our corporate overlords know exactly what they are getting with Biden , and that is why they backed him so strongly during the campaign .
In fact , if our corporate overlords could create a perfect president from scratch , they would end up with someone that looks very similar to Joe Biden .
Let me explain what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ value in any politician is weakness , and today Joe Biden is very weak .
At one time he had a little bit more of a backbone , but at this point he has deteriorated very badly and his physical , mental and emotional weaknesses are apparent to everyone .
But a president can ’ t afford to be weak , because pressure is put on the White House from a thousand different directions on a daily basis .
Any sign of weakness from a president is like blood in the water , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be all over him .
Ultimately , Biden will be exceptionally easy for the elite to manipulate because of how weak he has become , but the downside for the elite is that Biden may not last that long in the White House because of how rapidly he is physically and mentally falling apart .
If our corporate overlords were creating a perfect president from scratch , they would also want someone that owes them favors , and Joe Biden owes them big time .
In the months leading up to the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tech companies made sure that any negative stories about Biden were suppressed , and ultra-wealthy donors all over the nation absolutely showered him with money .
In fact , Biden raised money from the megadonor class like we have never seen before .
The following comes from the New York Times… Without the backing of the elite , Biden never would have won , and Biden understands this very well .
The Wall Street crowd was particularly generous this campaign cycle .
In late October , CNBC reported that they were on pace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollars to Biden ’ s campaign… Needless to say , you don ’ t give someone 74 million dollars without expecting something in return .
And some of the names that shelled out big money for Biden are quite recognizable… In America today , it takes a tremendous amount of money to win elections on the national level .
When I was running for Congress , I did not get even a single penny from PACs , and the guy that ended up winning was absolutely showered with PAC money .
I learned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system works , and it is a lesson that I will never forget .
Thirdly , if the elite could create a perfect president from scratch , they would want someone that is deeply corrupt .
I know that may sound strange , but this is how politics in America works .
When a politician has skeletons in his or her closet , that gives the elite leverage , and our corporate overlords absolutely love to have leverage on our politicians .
As far as Joe Biden is concerned , I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Everyone has seen the hair sniffing videos , everyone has heard the Tara Reade allegations , and all of that Hunter Biden stuff is still out there .
If Joe Biden falls in line and is always careful to do what they want , the elite will make sure that Joe Biden ’ s skeletons remain buried .
But if and when it becomes necessary , they will nail Biden with all of the dirty stuff from his past .
Many Americans wonder why it seems like we always have so many deeply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course the truth is that we have so many corrupt politicians because the elite want it that way .
If Trump ’ s legal challenges are not successful and Biden wins the presidency , the elite will be greatly relieved .
It wasn ’ t Donald Trump ’ s policies that enraged the elite so much .
It was the fact that they didn ’ t have control over him .
But under a Biden administration things will be dramatically different .
His transition team includes executives or former executives from Airbnb , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Dell , DropBox , JPMorgan , LinkedIn , Lyft , Stripe , Visa and Uber .
And his agency review team for the Department of Defense contains eight individuals with direct links to the weapons industry… What I have covered in this article is just the tip of the iceberg .
After four years under Trump , the elite are extremely eager to be back in control , and they are almost there .
The Biden administration will likely be a wonderful time for them , but things won ’ t go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

One of the biggest reasons why the elite hate Donald Trump so much is because they can’t control him. But if Joe Biden ends up in the White House, that won’t be a problem. Our corporate overlords know exactly what they are getting with Biden, and that is why they backed him so strongly during the campaign. In fact, if our corporate overlords could create a perfect president from scratch, they would end up with someone that looks very similar to Joe Biden.
Let me explain what I mean. One thing that the elite value in any politician is weakness, and today Joe Biden is very weak. At one time he had a little bit more of a backbone, but at this point he has deteriorated very badly and his physical, mental and emotional weaknesses are apparent to everyone.
But a president can’t afford to be weak, because pressure is put on the White House from a thousand different directions on a daily basis. Any sign of weakness from a president is like blood in the water, and the political sharks are going to be all over him.
Ultimately, Biden will be exceptionally easy for the elite to manipulate because of how weak he has become, but the downside for the elite is that Biden may not last that long in the White House because of how rapidly he is physically and mentally falling apart.
If our corporate overlords were creating a perfect president from scratch, they would also want someone that owes them favors, and Joe Biden owes them big time.
In the months leading up to the election, the corporate media and the big tech companies made sure that any negative stories about Biden were suppressed, and ultra-wealthy donors all over the nation absolutely showered him with money. In fact, Biden raised money from the megadonor class like we have never seen before. The following comes from the New York Times…
From Hollywood to Silicon Valley to Wall Street, Mr. Biden’s campaign has aggressively courted the megadonor class. It has raised almost $200 million from donors who gave at least $100,000 to his joint operations with the Democratic Party in the last six months — about twice as much as President Trump raised from six-figure donors in that time, according to an analysis of new federal records.
Without the backing of the elite, Biden never would have won, and Biden understands this very well.
The Wall Street crowd was particularly generous this campaign cycle. In late October, CNBC reported that they were on pace to give a total of 74 million dollars to Biden’s campaign…
People in the securities and investment industry will finish the 2020 election cycle contributing over $74 million to back Joe Biden’s candidacy for president, a much larger sum than what President Donald Trump raised from Wall Street, according to new data from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Needless to say, you don’t give someone 74 million dollars without expecting something in return.
And some of the names that shelled out big money for Biden are quite recognizable…
Tim Geithner, former Treasury secretary under President Barack Obama and current president of private equity firm Warburg Pincus, contributed $150,000 to the Biden Action Fund in August. Antonio Gracias, founder of Valor Equity Partners, and Jonathan Shulkin, a partner at the same firm, each shelled out more than $300,000 that same month to the committee. John Doerr, chairman of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, gave over $355,000 to the Biden Action Fund last quarter. Stephen Mandel, founder of Connecticut-based hedge fund Lone Pine Capital, contributed more than $310,000. Pete Muller, founder of investment manager PDT Partners, gave the committee $360,000. Jonathan Soros, an investor and son of billionaire George Soros, gave just under $145,000.
In America today, it takes a tremendous amount of money to win elections on the national level.
When I was running for Congress, I did not get even a single penny from PACs, and the guy that ended up winning was absolutely showered with PAC money. I learned a very hard lesson about how our system works, and it is a lesson that I will never forget.
Thirdly, if the elite could create a perfect president from scratch, they would want someone that is deeply corrupt.

When a politician has skeletons in his or her closet, that gives the elite leverage, and our corporate overlords absolutely love to have leverage on our politicians.

If Joe Biden falls in line and is always careful to do what they want, the elite will make sure that Joe Biden’s skeletons remain buried.
But if and when it becomes necessary, they will nail Biden with all of the dirty stuff from his past.
Many Americans wonder why it seems like we always have so many deeply corrupt politicians in Washington, and of course the truth is that we have so many corrupt politicians because the elite want it that way.
If Trump’s legal challenges are not successful and Biden wins the presidency, the elite will be greatly relieved.
It wasn’t Donald Trump’s policies that enraged the elite so much.
It was the fact that they didn’t have control over him.
But under a Biden administration things will be dramatically different. His transition team includes executives or former executives from Airbnb, Amazon, Booz Allen, Capital One, Dell, DropBox, JPMorgan, LinkedIn, Lyft, Stripe, Visa and Uber. And his agency review team for the Department of Defense contains eight individuals with direct links to the weapons industry…
On November 10, Biden announced his agency review teams, which he says “are responsible for understanding the operations of each agency, ensuring a smooth transfer of power, and preparing for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris and their cabinet to hit the ground running on Day One.” Of the 23 people who comprise the Department of Defense agency review team, eight of them — or just over a third — list their “most recent employment” as organizations, think tanks or companies that either directly receive money from the weapons industry, or are part of this industry.
What I have covered in this article is just the tip of the iceberg.
After four years under Trump, the elite are extremely eager to be back in control, and they are almost there.
The Biden administration will likely be a wonderful time for them, but things won’t go so well for the rest of us.
