Brennan Notes Showcase Clinton Campaign Intent to Create Russian Conspiracy Narrative in July 2016: Hillary Clinton campaign advisors created a “proposal to vilify Trump by stirring up scandal claiming interference by Russian security services” on July 26, 2016.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has transmitted evidence to the Senate Judiciary Committee showing notes written by CIA Director John Brennan that Hillary Clinton campaign advisors created a “proposal to vilify Trump by stirring up scandal claiming interference by Russian security services” on July 26th of 2016. [pdf link]
This appears to be the explosive evidence referred to by Senator Lindsey Graham during recent public comments. The date of the proposal to Brennan, July 26, 2016, is pertinent to the recent op-ed published by Brennan where he says he briefed President Obama two days later, July 28, 2016, where Brennan says in his own words:
[…] on the afternoon of July 28, 2016, I informed [President Obama] in a hurriedly scheduled meeting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had authorized his intelligence services to carry out activities to hurt Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and boost the election prospects of Donald Trump. (link)
Hillary Clinton proposing the strategic deployment of a Russian collusion narrative on July 26, 2016, is additionally important because only one day earlier, July 25, 2016, Clinton campaign Manager Robby Mook advocated for this exact narrative on the first day of the 2016 Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia.
July 25, 2016, Robby Mook is presenting the Russian conspiracy narrative.
July 26, 2016, a Clinton foreign policy advisor is pushing this narrative to CIA Director John Brennan.
July 28, 2016, CIA Director John Brennan pushes the Clinton-inspired Russian conspiracy narrative into the oval office and briefs President Barack Obama.
July 31, 2016, FBI Agent Peter Strzok launches the “Electronic Communication” which officially begins the Trump-Russia investigation. [LINK]
Then on August 5, 2016, former Acting CIA Director and Clinton campaign advisor, Mike Morell publishes an op-ed in the New York Times, fueling the Clinton-inspired Russian conspiracy narrative:
…”In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”… (~Mike Morell)
Mike Morell is deeply connected to the Clinton camp, particularly surrounding his prior efforts to defend then Secretary of State Clinton over Benghazi. According to former CIA Director Leon Panetta it was Mike Morell (Intel) and Ben Rhodes (White House) who wrote the infamous Susan Rice talking points, which were all lies.
So the substantive background of how Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired Fusion-GPS and Chris Steele in April of 2016 to create the Russian conspiracy narrative takes on new focus.
Keep in mind, at the heart of the July 2016 Russian narrative was a story about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian attorney named Natalia Veselnitskaya. That meeting took place on June 9th 2016 in Trump Tower. However, video and images show that 5 days later, June 14th 2016, Ms. Veselnitskaya was a guest of former Obama administration Russian Ambassador Michael McFaul in Washington DC for a House of Representatives hearing on U.S. Policy Toward Putin’s Russia.

Ms. Natalia Veselnitskaya is pictured seated in the front row directly behind former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Mr. Michael McFaul at the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This is June 14th, 2016, five days after the reported meeting with Donald Trump Jr.

It should be noted that Ambassador Mike McFaul was very publicly discussing the ‘Muh Russia’ conspiracy narrative in the media and appeared on numerous NBC and MSNBC broadcasts during the 2016 campaign, and immediately after the election.

Additionally, it was Michael McFaul who was the architect of the Obama/Clinton “Russian Reset”, that eventually led McFaul to becoming the Ambassador to Russia (NYT Link).
Ambassador Michael McFaul immediately caused quite a bit of controversy while in Russia as he indulged with various anti-Putin operatives.
Michael McFaul, the U.S. ambassador in Moscow from 2012-2014, was accused by Russian state television of seeking to orchestrate the overthrow of President Vladimir Putin after hosting opposition activists and Kremlin critics at the embassy in his second day on the job. (Politico Link)
Another example of McFaul’s in-your-face antagonism is HERE.
On the heels of the 2011 WikiLeaks State Department Cables release (example below) Ambassador McFaul was kicked out of Russia:
(C) On January 14, National Security Council Senior Director for Russia Michael McFaul met with Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Milov of the Solidarity Movement, Grigoriy Bovt of the political party Right Cause, and Vladimir Ryzhkov, former head of the now defunct Russia’s Republican Party and professor at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics. All four leaders view Barack Obama as a highly pragmatic president focused on external cooperation with Russia, but supposedly not willing to pressure the Russian government for greater political freedom. President Medvedev is not seen as a viable alternative to Prime Minister Putin, who they believe will likely retake the Presidency in 2012. This, according to them, will ensure that a corrupt and unresponsive government continues to run Russia. They agreed that the aim of the political opposition over the next two years should be to prevent the return of Putin to the presidency. According to them, however, given Putin’s control over society only an emergency situation could bring about his fall from grace. […] McFaul opined that “de-Putinization” must come from within Russia, from a focus on civil education to broaden demands within society for increased freedom. Though the President may not be as vocal about his support for civil society within Russia as opposition members in Russia might prefer, McFaul made clear to this group, all of whom he has known throughout his career, that the President fully supports democratic reform in Russia. All agreed that dramatic change in the Russian political landscape would not take place in the near future. 5. National Security Council Senior Director for Russia Michael McFaul has cleared on this cable. (WikiLeaks Cable Link)
It should also be noted that Ambassador McFaul’s friend, Ms. Natalia Veselnitskaya, was initially denied an entry visa into the United States in 2016 and appealed her situation to the U.S. District Court of New York. She was granted a parole letter allowing her to enter the United States on behalf of a client. Here’s her filing to the U.S. District Court in New York.
The actual date of the arguments in the case U.S. -v- Prevezon Holdings was the EXACT SAME date as the meeting in Trump Tower – June 9th 2016 CASE LINK
And look at the participating attorneys. A smorgasbord of anti-Trumpers writ large. Attorney(s) appearing for the case:
JACOB W. BUCHDAHL (Cory S. Buland, on the brief), Susman Godfrey LLP, New York, NY, for Movant-Appellant Hermitage Capital Management Ltd. PAUL MONTELEONI, Assistant United States Attorney (Cristine Phillips, Margaret Garnett, Assistant United States Attorneys, on the brief), for Preet Bharara, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, for Plaintiff-Appellee the United States of America. MICHAEL B. MUKASEY (Jennifer F. Mintz, Jarrod L.

Before: POOLER, LOHIER, and CARNEY, Circuit Judges. Yes, THAT Preet Bharara.
Natalia Veselnitskaya was also a very vocal anti-Trump person on all of her social media accounts – SEE FACEBOOK ARCHIVE HERE – So why would an anti-Trump Russian with close ties to the Clinton campaign group want to deliver information to Donald Trump Jr? Donald Trump Jr. said he had no idea whom he would be meeting with.
April – Fusion GPS hired to dig up dirt on Trump. Fusion hires Chris Steele to write his fabricated Trump-Russia Dossier.
June – Clinton campaign coordinates with State Dept. allies to introduce Veselnitskaya to Donald Trump Jr.
July – Clinton campaign pushes Russian conspiracy narrative to allies in intelligence community, John Brennan. Peter Strzok begins Trump-Russia investigation; FBI, DOJ and aggregate intelligence community weaponized to assist.
August – Clinton campaign advisor writes op-ed in New York Times postulating Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
September – U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding “U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server.” (link)
Now, let’s see that September 2016 referral !


investmentwatchblog--2020-09-30--Health care policy analyst blasts Big Pharma: “It’s all about the money!”

( Natural News ) Major pharmaceutical and medical companies are actively censoring information that runs against Big Pharma-approved narratives , health care policy analyst Dr. Dave Janda said .
Janda , a retired orthopedic surgeon who also operates the podcast and radio show Operation Freedom , made the statement during an interview with Health Ranger Mike Adams .
According to Janda , the long-running censorship is part of an operation run by medical conglomerates in partnership with several prominent figures in both politics and Big Tech – a partnership Janda has since referred to as “ the medical-industrial complex.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regularly scrub the Internet of any information that could cost major medical corporations money .
“ It is all about the money – that is what it all comes down to .
It comes down to their hatred for Trump , as you mentioned , it comes down to their totalitarian roots , it comes down to their ever-precious dollar and how much can go to their pockets , ” Janda , who fell victim to a witch-hunt ordered by former President Barack Obama back in 2009 because of his vocal opposition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ ObamaCare ” Act , explained .
“ Hydroxychloroquine , Zithromax , zinc – they ’ re pennies , but when you start looking into antivirals , if you start looking into vaccines , you ’ re looking at a hundred bucks , two hundred bucks three hundred – you ’ re looking at big bucks and that ’ s what drives this and that ’ s what ’ s so sick .
That ’ s why you get de-platformed , why you get censored , why I get censored , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted that the latest to fall victim to this censorship is the group America ’ s Frontline Doctors .
“ This week , you had some doctors in front of the Supreme Court , as you mentioned , speaking about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine , and what happened ?
Their presentations on social media are deep-sixed , ” Janda said , noting that every piece of information related to the facts mentioned by the group during their press conference has been completely taken off the internet .
( Related : Big Tech steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Doctors video , pages from the Internet . )
In addition , Janda said , people who only did as much as share video clips or information from the group ’ s conference were also censored .
“ Sidney Powell , the attorney of General [ Michael ] Flynn , retweeted that video along with Donald Trump JR , and they were de-platformed from Twitter , ” Janda added .
Big Pharma now inciting Democrats to turn on each other ?
This medical-industrial complex has also targeted people unaffiliated with conservative figures and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the censure experienced by Detroit representative Karen Whitsett , who previously blasted state authorities for their slow response to the pandemic .
Whitsett , according to Janda , was diagnosed with COVID-19 back in March – an infection that was further complicated by Lyme disease .
According to Janda , when her condition took a turn for the worse , Whitsett – a staunch Democrat who , during the course of the pandemic , managed to raise $ 450,000 in four days for those in need in her district – asked if she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hydroxychloroquine , which at that time , was being touted by President Donald Trump as a potential treatment option for those with COVID-19 .
“ When Karen Whitsett developed coronavirus , she had underlying medical conditions , Lyme disease and the like .
She became very ill and she wanted to have hydroxychloroquine , ” Janda said .
Whitsett ’ s request , however , came at the same time that Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed an order banning the prescription and dispensation of hydroxychloroquine in the state .
“ Now at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governor in the state of Michigan , a totalitarian thug , Gretchen Whitmer , she had her Department of Enforcement send letters , saying that if a physician prescribed or if a pharmacist dispensed hydroxychloroquine to a person diagnosed with coronavirus , there are administrative actions that would be put into effect that could discontinue their licenses , ” Janda stated in his interview .
According to Janda , it was only when he and a reporter from the Detroit News pointed out that Whitmer , by imposing such an ordinance , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the governor rescinded her letters and opened up hydroxychloroquine to the state .
“ The point is when I became a physician , back in 1984 , I put my hand up and took an oath .
Part of that oath , the Hippocratic oath , is to do no harm .
The harm Gretchen Whitmer inflicted on the people of Michigan , has not even been counted .
How many people died because they didn ’ t have the means to an effective treatment , that being hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Janda said , eventually got her hands on hydroxychloroquine and within hours of taking the drug along with azithromycin and zinc , improved to the point where she did not need to go on a ventilator .
Not long after her recovery , Whitsett , in what has since been considered as a bold move from a Democrat , told conservative political commentator and host Laura Ingraham on Fox News ’ The Ingraham Angle that if it wasn ’ t for President Trump ’ s introduction of hydroxychloroquine and his constant pushing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that she may not have made it through the infection .
“ I really want to say that you have to give this [ hydroxychloroquine ] an opportunity , ” Whitsett said – a markedly different stance compared to the statements put forth by most Democrats about the anti-malarial drug.
” “ If President Trump had not talked about this it wouldn ’ t have been something that would be accessible for anyone to be able to get right now , ” Whitsett added .
The Detroit representative would then reiterate her message @ @ @ @ @ @ @ latter invited her to a meeting at the White House .
That was only the start of Whitsett ’ s troubles , however .
As reported by the Detroit News , Detroit Democrats unanimously passed a resolution censuring Whitsett , alleging that she “ broke protocol ” by meeting with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence .
According to the resolution passed by the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party organization , Whitsett “ misrepresented the needs and priorities ” of Democratic leadership to the president and public .
“ Karen Whitsett had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States for calling attention to hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin and zinc … She publicly thanked him and when she came back from the White House , from Washington , she was censured by the Democratic Party , who are running people against her , so that she is put out of office , ” Janda noted .
Another Democrat , New York City Councilman Paul Vallone , who represents northeast Queens , said that hydroxychloroquine saved his life after contracting a near-fatal COVID-19 infection in March .
Vallone , in an interview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along with azithromycin and came back from the brink almost immediately .
“ I couldn ’ t breathe , very weak , couldn ’ t get out of bed .
My doctor prescribed it .
My pharmacy had it .
Took it that day and within two to three days I was able to breathe , ” Vallone said in an interview with New York Post , adding that within a week he was back on his feet .
Similar to Whitsett , Vallone says he is grateful to President Trump for his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the greater public “ At that time , there was only fear and panic , he offered hope in a possible treatment when there was none .
With my sarcoidosis and then my COVID symptoms , It basically saved me .
For that my family will always be thankful , ” Vallone said .
As of press time , Whitsett , who previously lodged and then retracted a lawsuit against Governor Whitmer and other Detroit Democrats , prevailed against a new party-backed candidate in unofficial voting results last week .

This medical-industrial complex has also targeted people unaffiliated with conservative figures and institutions, Janda said, referring to the censure experienced by Detroit representative Karen Whitsett, who previously blasted state authorities for their slow response to the pandemic.
Whitsett, according to Janda, was diagnosed with COVID-19 back in March – an infection that was further complicated by Lyme disease.
According to Janda, when her condition took a turn for the worse, Whitsett – a staunch Democrat who, during the course of the pandemic, managed to raise $ 450,000 in four days for those in need in her district – asked if she could be prescribed with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, which at that time, was being touted by President Donald Trump as a potential treatment option for those with COVID-19.
“When Karen Whitsett developed coronavirus, she had underlying medical conditions, Lyme disease and the like. She became very ill and she wanted to have hydroxychloroquine,” Janda said.
Whitsett’s request, however, came at the same time that Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed an order banning the prescription and dispensation of hydroxychloroquine in the state.
“Now at the time when she needed it, our governor in the state of Michigan, a totalitarian thug, Gretchen Whitmer, she had her Department of Enforcement send letters, saying that if a physician prescribed or if a pharmacist dispensed hydroxychloroquine to a person diagnosed with coronavirus, there are administrative actions that would be put into effect that could discontinue their licenses,” Janda stated in his interview.
According to Janda, it was only when he and a reporter from the Detroit News pointed out that Whitmer, by imposing such an ordinance, was actually practicing medicine without a license, that the governor rescinded her letters and opened up hydroxychloroquine to the state.
“The point is when I became a physician, back in 1984, I put my hand up and took an oath. Part of that oath, the Hippocratic oath, is to do no harm.

“I really want to say that you have to give this [hydroxychloroquine] an opportunity,” Whitsett said – a markedly different stance compared to the statements put forth by most Democrats about the anti-malarial drug.”

Chris Wallace did everything possible to help Biden tonight. Relayed the “very fine people” hoax.
Transformed “defund the police” to “community policing”
Lied about critical race theory. And is now debating Trump one on one regarding climate change. #Debate2020 — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 30, 2020

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-30--Deutsche Bank Warns About A Sudden Economic Collapse & Stock Market CRASH!

According to economic experts , an economic collapse is looming and the new stock market crash is expected to happen before the elections .
Recent studies have indicated the many elements that will likely undermine the financial markets over the next weeks and today we are going to analyze those determinants and discuss how they are going to affect the next chapters of the economic collapse .
Keep with us and don ’ t forget to like this video , share it with your friends , and subscribe to our channel if you haven ’ t already .
Deutsche Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already “ see an increased risk of financial disruption down the road from the growing overvaluation of assets and mounting debt levels.
” Furthermore , Deutsche Bank gathered a team led by Peter Hooper , global head of economic research , to release the World Outlook Update , which predicted the pace of the recovery – or as we prefer to call , the calm before the storm – to slow as the viral cases will likely soar through the winter months , especially if another fiscal package isn ’ t issued before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anticipates that when the summer comes , and the vaccinations start to happen , the prospects of a restructuration could resume , and presuming there is a successful vaccine , the team foresees three-quarters of the world ’ s population could be vaccinated by mid-2023 .
However , don ’ t expect the vaccine to fix the economy .
Hooper alerts the virus will leave persistent scars in the markets , such as long-term damage to the hospitality industry , and automation is likely to take jobs away for good , meaning that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pre-sanitary-outbreak levels may never happen .
Also , the Deutsche Bank strategists , who can also see the looming financial crisis being formed by the growing overvaluation of assets , increasingly high debt levels which were driven by the massive fiscal and monetary policy stimulus granted by the Fed , outlined that “ financial crises have often been touched off in the past under such conditions by the inevitable shift from policy ease to policy tightening , which is likely still at least several years away , but could surprise sooner.
” Conversely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact that politics may become a bigger threat than some might be considering , affirming they could see “ significant risks of not getting a quick and clear resolution to the general elections this time around , with a likely unprecedented share of mail-in ballots and delays in counting holding the potential for a contested election ” .
John Dizard explained in a recent article , the large banks “ are far more risk-averse and better capitalized than in the past crisis , and the housing industry is prospering from the refinancing boom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Lehman/2008 financial collapse , risk has been moved off bank balance sheets and into securitization markets.
” Which means , this time around the economic collapse will be triggered differently , and strategists are signaling that the spark for the coming financial crisis will be the market ’ s rejection of a few classes of securities , in a similar fashion to the 1929 collapse of pyramided securities holding companies .
Thus , to discover what the point of vulnerability in the US financial markets could be , we have to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flexible credit securities that can move the fastest from low risk to visibly defaulted , ” as Dizard stressed .
And those would be the commercial mortgage-backed securities – or CMBS .

Deutsche Bank disclosed to clients this week they can already “see an increased risk of financial disruption down the road from the growing overvaluation of assets and mounting debt levels.”
Furthermore, Deutsche Bank gathered a team led by Peter Hooper, global head of economic research, to release the World Outlook Update, which predicted the pace of the recovery – or as we prefer to call, the calm before the storm – to slow as the viral cases will likely soar through the winter months, especially if another fiscal package isn’t issued before the US elections. But the team anticipates that when the summer comes, and the vaccinations start to happen, the prospects of a restructuration could resume, and presuming there is a successful vaccine, the team foresees three-quarters of the world’s population could be vaccinated by mid-2023.
However, don’t expect the vaccine to fix the economy. Hooper alerts the virus will leave persistent scars in the markets, such as long-term damage to the hospitality industry, and automation is likely to take jobs away for good, meaning that a full recovery of the economy to pre-sanitary-outbreak levels may never happen. Also, the Deutsche Bank strategists, who can also see the looming financial crisis being formed by the growing overvaluation of assets, increasingly high debt levels which were driven by the massive fiscal and monetary policy stimulus granted by the Fed, outlined that “financial crises have often been touched off in the past under such conditions by the inevitable shift from policy ease to policy tightening, which is likely still at least several years away, but could surprise sooner.”

The Commission has designed the format , six roughly 15 minute segments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the first question , then open discussion for the rest of each segment .
Both campaigns have agreed to these rules .
For the record , I decided the topics and the questions in each topic .
I can assure you none of the questions has been shared with the Commission or the two candidates .

JOE BIDEN : How you doing , man ?
DONALD TRUMP : How are you doing ?
CHRIS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people been waiting for this night , so let ’ s get going .
Our first subject is the Supreme Court .
President Trump , you nominated Amy Coney Barrett over the weekend to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Court .

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-30--COVID EXPLOSIVE: How Lockdown & NHS Covidaphobia caused the 2020 death spike

This just might turn out to be one of the most important pieces ever posted at The Slog….if the censorious goblins get off my back , and sympathisers give the damning evidence that follows the best chance of going viral by alerting the maximum number of open-minded adults to it .
Let ’ s start with a simple graph released by the Office of National Statistics ( ONS ) that I ’ ve amended slightly to display the beginning and end of UK Lockdown : The most striking thing about this graph is that almost immediately after lockdown commences , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths .
There is also a spike in deaths involving Covid19 , but we ’ ve known for two months that Public Health England ( PHE ) overstated Covid 19 deaths by 23 % ( as a result of which it is to be disbanded ) ; further , we now have the stats to show that deaths from Covid19 alone were a tiny percentage of all deaths .
ONS stats show how , of 6,700 extra deaths at home , just 203 involved coronavirus .
A HUGE PROPORTION OF DEATHS ARE FEAR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths caused by high blood pressure is up by one third , with the same rise seen in deaths caused by cardiac arrhythmias .
Deaths from diabetes rose by 27 % .
Medical journal The Lancet has looked in turn at how the strangulation of the NHS thanks to wildly inaccurate Covid19 modelling is also affecting deaths from non-virus related causes .
This hugely respected publication notes : ‘ Since a national lockdown was introduced across the UK in March , 2020 , in response to the COVID-19 pandemic , cancer screening has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and only urgent symptomatic cases prioritised for diagnostic intervention.
’ The methodology described below shows the thoroughness of the large sample investigation the Lancet undertook into what has really been happening : ‘ We collected data for 32 583 patients with breast cancer , 24 975 with colorectal cancer , 6744 with oesophageal cancer , and 29 305 with lung cancer .
Across the three different scenarios , compared with pre-pandemic figures , we estimate a 7·9–9·6 % increase in the number of deaths due to breast cancer up to year 5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( 95 % CI 266–295 ) and 344 ( 329–358 ) additional deaths .
For colorectal cancer , we estimate 1445 ( 1392–1591 ) to 1563 ( 1534–1592 ) additional deaths , a 15·3–16·6 % increase ; for lung cancer , 1235 ( 1220–1254 ) to 1372 ( 1343–1401 ) additional deaths , a 4·8–5·3 % increase ; and for oesophageal cancer , 330 ( 324–335 ) to 342 ( 336–348 ) additional deaths , 5·8–6·0 % increase up to 5 years after diagnosis.
’ This is quantitative support for what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of avoidable cancer deaths in England , deaths that demand a change to more realistic policy about this hugely overhyped virus .
The backlog within routine diagnostic services to mitigate the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with cancer has to be acknowledged for what it is : killing people with serious illnesses by allowing the media to go overboard on despicable Pharmafia alarmism for pure commercial gain .
Finally , take a good long look at the third period the ONS graph shows….where the narrative has had to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths have returned to annual norms despite the relaxations since Lockdown .
I know that these data will bounce off the Klingon anti-force shields that protect the heads of Covidiots .

This just might turn out to be one of the most important pieces ever posted at The Slog….if the censorious goblins get off my back, and sympathisers give the damning evidence that follows the best chance of going viral by alerting the maximum number of open-minded adults to it.
Let’s start with a simple graph released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) that I’ve amended slightly to display the beginning and end of UK Lockdown:
The most striking thing about this graph is that almost immediately after lockdown commences, there is a huge spike in all deaths.
There is also a spike in deaths involving Covid19, but we’ve known for two months that Public Health England (PHE) overstated Covid 19 deaths by 23% (as a result of which it is to be disbanded); further, we now have the stats to show that deaths from Covid19 alone were a tiny percentage of all deaths.
ONS stats show how, of 6,700 extra deaths at home, just 203 involved coronavirus.
A HUGE PROPORTION OF DEATHS ARE FEAR & STRESS RELATED – the number of deaths caused by high blood pressure is up by one third, with the same rise seen in deaths caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Deaths from diabetes rose by 27%.
Medical journal The Lancet has looked in turn at how the strangulation of the NHS thanks to wildly inaccurate Covid19 modelling is also affecting deaths from non-virus related causes. This hugely respected publication notes:
‘Since a national lockdown was introduced across the UK in March, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer screening has been suspended, routine diagnostic work deferred, and only urgent symptomatic cases prioritised for diagnostic intervention.’

The methodology described below shows the thoroughness of the large sample investigation the Lancet undertook into what has really been happening:
‘We collected data for 32 583 patients with breast cancer, 24 975 with colorectal cancer, 6744 with oesophageal cancer, and 29 305 with lung cancer. Across the three different scenarios, compared with pre-pandemic figures, we estimate a 7·9–9·6% increase in the number of deaths due to breast cancer up to year 5 after diagnosis, corresponding to between 281 (95% CI 266–295) and 344 (329–358) additional deaths. For colorectal cancer, we estimate 1445 (1392–1591) to 1563 (1534–1592) additional deaths, a 15·3–16·6% increase; for lung cancer, 1235 (1220–1254) to 1372 (1343–1401) additional deaths, a 4·8–5·3% increase; and for oesophageal cancer, 330 (324–335) to 342 (336–348) additional deaths, 5·8–6·0% increase up to 5 years after diagnosis.’
This is quantitative support for what’s going on: substantial increases in the number of avoidable cancer deaths in England, deaths that demand a change to more realistic policy about this hugely overhyped virus.
The backlog within routine diagnostic services to mitigate the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with cancer has to be acknowledged for what it is: killing people with serious illnesses by allowing the media to go overboard on despicable Pharmafia alarmism for pure commercial gain.
Finally, take a good long look at the third period the ONS graph shows….where the narrative has had to be changed to cases from deaths, because deaths have returned to annual norms despite the relaxations since Lockdown.
I know that these data will bounce off the Klingon anti-force shields that protect the heads of Covidiots. But I genuinely believe that this post lays out very clearly that Government Covid ‘control’ tactics are neither working nor necessay: that in fact, they are killing people with fear at home and neglect in our hospitals.
We are making the most terrible mistake, and merely giving Parliament more of a “say” in the restrictions being imposed is pure deckchair rearrangement on the sinking ship. I watched Politics live today, and the brutal truth of the enervating experience was that neither our media nor our politicians are within a light-year’s distance from the core Truth. They blather on about systemics and Party points, but they simply have not grasped what the stats are telling us.
I try to add this plea as little as possible; but please try and ensure that far more people are enlightened by these latest numbers than at present….because the longer this charade continues, the more convincing the argument for forging ahead towards the economic icebergs will appear.
Thank you.


investmentwatchblog--2020-09-30--2021 – AS CHINA’S GOLDEN OX RISES THE US BALD EAGLE WILL CRASH

The Chinese understand the long game and they have infinite patience .
They have always known that they never needed to attack the US , financially or militarily .
Because China has invariably understood that the US would self-destruct .
The Duchess of Sussex who has dragged her poor husband , Prince Harry , into the US election has declared that this will be the most important election in history .
She will most probably be right but for the wrong reason .
Meghan Markle believes a Biden victory is the only way that the US can be saved , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ( which is reciprocal ) .
It probably doesn ’ t matter who wins the election when is comes to stopping the crash of the US economy and currency .
But what is guaranteed is that Biden ’ s policies will bankrupt America much faster than Trump ’ s .
The profligate democrats will forgive trillions of debt , increase spending and reduce taxes for the masses .
The Chinese have waited patiently for this moment .
They forecast the collapse of the “ capitalist monetary system with the dollar as its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and how right they have been .
THE DAYS OF THE DOLLAR ARE COUNTED A 98 % fall in real terms – against gold – and a 78 % fall against the Swiss franc tells the world that the days of the dollar are counted .
So will we see the US bald eagle crash to the ground and a phoenix in the form of a new world currency emerge like in the 1988 Economist article ?
Well , the dollar crash is guaranteed and a Biden victory will accelerate the move .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ new world currency in the near term .
As the dollar falls and with it the US economy , China will gradually emerge as the next dominant economy and super power .
But this will take time .
Before that we will have chaos in the global financial system , economic collapse in many countries , political upheaval , riots , and wars .
So is a Biden victory going to cause all this .
No not solely .
But just as the coronavirus sped up that fall of the US and world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for an accelerated decline of the US .
Both events would have happened anyway but probably not as dramatically as with these two powerful catalysts – CV and Biden .
The coming US election will have bitter consequences for the US and the world whoever wins .
It is likely to be aggressively fought not just before November 4th but more so after the result is declared .
There will be a plethora of forums where the election result will be disputed and fought like in the courts , the media , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course .
CHURCHILL – WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES The fighting everywhere reminds me of Winston Churchill ’ s speech in parliament in June 1940 after the evacuation of Dunkirk : “ …… we shall fight on the beaches , we shall fight on the landing grounds , we shall fight in the fields and in the streets , we shall fight in the hills ; … ” Churchill ’ s speech was obviously to unify and prepare the nation for the major war effort ahead .
But the consequence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and damaging for the US whoever wins .
So 2021 is not just likely to be the start of a severe and long lasting economic downturn or collapse for the US but also an extended period of extreme political and social disharmony and discontent .
I have just entered my 52nd year of working life .
But I can clearly remember life before that as a young boy in Sweden , back in the 1950s .
This was a time when the family was the kernel of society and there was total respect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at home and looked after the children .
The wages of the father were sufficient to provide for the family .
Very few people had debt and obviously there were no credit cards .
Most things were paid for in cash .
The police was unarmed and there was total respect for their authority .
Sweden then was a very homogenous society with few immigrants .
There was very little crime and virtually no violent crime .
I remember visiting churches in the countryside and the doors were open and church silver would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children could move around freely without parental protection .
Very few people went on holiday abroad or had cars or televisions .
The economy was strong , based on real money with little debt .
The quality of life was far superior to today .
I am not talking about material things but people were much happier with less stress and strong respect for your fellow humans .
There was integrity with strong moral and ethical values .
THE END OF AN ERA I do realise that all of this could sound like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the past .
There might be some truth in that criticism but I am quite convinced that the era we are now in is the end of a cycle when it comes to quality of life , values , crime , honesty , integrity .
The current debt based economy with fake money and values is clearly creating a very unhappy society and many discontented people .
This is why the current cycle needs to soon come to an end .
The world needs a proper forest fire which destroys the debt and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money and worthless debt .
The coming fall of the global debt edifice will be a relief for the world but it will obviously involve a long period of suffering .
But only after this fall can the world start a new cycle with green shoots based on a sound monetary and financial system which is based on real values , both moral and material .
HALF A CENTURY OF DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE WORLD Coming back to my half a century of working life , there have also been some dramatic changes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows what has happened to debt , dollar , GDP & stocks during my 51 years ’ involvement with financial markets , between 1969 and 2020 .
US federal debt is up 75x and GDP is only up 20x .
There is no clearer evidence that the US economy is running on empty and that more and more debt is required to produce an increase in GDP in nominal terms .
US debt to GDP has now reached 135 % against 35 % in 1969 and growing .
These debt levels are unsustainable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revenues and rising expenditure , there is zero chance that this debt will ever be reduced .
And when interest rates go up , the US will not even be able to service the debt .
So a debt default is very likely in the next few years .
Whilst US GDP is up 20x since 1969 , China ’ s GDP is up 175x .
There can be little doubt that China will be the next global economic superpower .
Only a revolution in China would stop that .
Gold is up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If dividends after tax are included and reinvested , the rise of the Dow and gold would be fairly equal .
I started the article with China ’ s view , in 1971 , on the future of the dollar and the US economy .
The debt explosion and slow GDP growth are clear evidence of how right China was .
But the dollar ’ s 98 % fall against gold and 79 % against the Swiss franc confirms China ’ s 1971 prediction : “ …..the seriousness of the US economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the entire capitalist system.
” “ …..mark the collapse of capitalist monetary system with the US dollar as its prop… .
Nixon ’ s new economic policy can not extricate the US from financial and economic crisis.
” So there we have it .
The wise Chinese saw half a century ago what would happen to the US , the dollar and the capitalist system and they knew already then that they would be the main beneficiaries .
But destruction of currencies and fall of empires is not new in history .
Von @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2021 THE CHINESE YEAR OF THE GOLDEN OX 2021 will be the Chinese year of the Metal or Golden Ox .
It will also be the 50th anniversary of Nixon ’ s fatal decision to end the gold backing of the dollar .
As the golden ox rises in China , the US bald eagle will crash to the ground as a symbol of the crashing dollar and US economy .
2021 is likely to be an ominous year in the global economy .
We may not see the “ final and total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already then but we are likely to see the start of the final dollar collapse and a major surge in gold and silver .
Anyone holding depreciating dollars and other currencies will soon regret not holding real money in the form of physical gold and silver .

The Chinese understand the long game and they have infinite patience. They have always known that they never needed to attack the US, financially or militarily. Because China has invariably understood that the US would self-destruct.
POLITICS AND PRINCES DON’T MIX
The Duchess of Sussex who has dragged her poor husband, Prince Harry, into the US election has declared that this will be the most important election in history. She will most probably be right but for the wrong reason. Meghan Markle believes a Biden victory is the only way that the US can be saved, primarily because she can’t stand Trump (which is reciprocal). It probably doesn’t matter who wins the election when is comes to stopping the crash of the US economy and currency.
But what is guaranteed is that Biden’s policies will bankrupt America much faster than Trump’s. The profligate democrats will forgive trillions of debt, increase spending and reduce taxes for the masses.
The Chinese have waited patiently for this moment. They forecast the collapse of the “capitalist monetary system with the dollar as its prop” already half a century ago and how right they have been.
THE DAYS OF THE DOLLAR ARE COUNTED
A 98% fall in real terms – against gold – and a 78% fall against the Swiss franc tells the world that the days of the dollar are counted. So will we see the US bald eagle crash to the ground and a phoenix in the form of a new world currency emerge like in the 1988 Economist article?
Well, the dollar crash is guaranteed and a Biden victory will accelerate the move. But there is unlikely to be a new world currency in the near term. As the dollar falls and with it the US economy, China will gradually emerge as the next dominant economy and super power. But this will take time. Before that we will have chaos in the global financial system, economic collapse in many countries, political upheaval, riots, and wars.
BIDEN – A CATALYST FOR ACCELERATED US DECLINE
So is a Biden victory going to cause all this. No not solely. But just as the coronavirus sped up that fall of the US and world economy, Biden will be the catalyst for an accelerated decline of the US. Both events would have happened anyway but probably not as dramatically as with these two powerful catalysts – CV and Biden.
The coming US election will have bitter consequences for the US and the world whoever wins. It is likely to be aggressively fought not just before November 4th but more so after the result is declared. There will be a plethora of forums where the election result will be disputed and fought like in the courts, the media, the streets, in families and in politics of course.
CHURCHILL – WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES
The fighting everywhere reminds me of Winston Churchill’s speech in parliament in June 1940 after the evacuation of Dunkirk:
“…… we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills;…”
Churchill’s speech was obviously to unify and prepare the nation for the major war effort ahead. But the consequence of the US election will be extremely divisive and damaging for the US whoever wins.
So 2021 is not just likely to be the start of a severe and long lasting economic downturn or collapse for the US but also an extended period of extreme political and social disharmony and discontent.
REMINISCING OVER BETTER TIMES
I have just entered my 52nd year of working life. But I can clearly remember life before that as a young boy in Sweden, back in the 1950s. This was a time when the family was the kernel of society and there was total respect for law and order. Mothers were at home and looked after the children. The wages of the father were sufficient to provide for the family. Very few people had debt and obviously there were no credit cards. Most things were paid for in cash. The police was unarmed and there was total respect for their authority. Sweden then was a very homogenous society with few immigrants. There was very little crime and virtually no violent crime. I remember visiting churches in the countryside and the doors were open and church silver would stand on shelves totally unprotected. Young children could move around freely without parental protection. Very few people went on holiday abroad or had cars or televisions. The economy was strong, based on real money with little debt. The quality of life was far superior to today. I am not talking about material things but people were much happier with less stress and strong respect for your fellow humans. There was integrity with strong moral and ethical values.
THE END OF AN ERA
I do realise that all of this could sound like a mature man nostalgically reminiscing and embellishing the past. There might be some truth in that criticism but I am quite convinced that the era we are now in is the end of a cycle when it comes to quality of life, values, crime, honesty, integrity. The current debt based economy with fake money and values is clearly creating a very unhappy society and many discontented people.
This is why the current cycle needs to soon come to an end. The world needs a proper forest fire which destroys the debt and all the bubble assets financed by printed money and worthless debt. The coming fall of the global debt edifice will be a relief for the world but it will obviously involve a long period of suffering. But only after this fall can the world start a new cycle with green shoots based on a sound monetary and financial system which is based on real values, both moral and material.

HALF A CENTURY OF DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE WORLD
Coming back to my half a century of working life, there have also been some dramatic changes in the world. The table below shows what has happened to debt, dollar, GDP & stocks during my 51 years’ involvement with financial markets, between 1969 and 2020. US federal debt is up 75x and GDP is only up 20x. There is no clearer evidence that the US economy is running on empty and that more and more debt is required to produce an increase in GDP in nominal terms.
DEBT DEFAULT COMING
US debt to GDP has now reached 135% against 35% in 1969 and growing. These debt levels are unsustainable for future growth. With falling tax revenues and rising expenditure, there is zero chance that this debt will ever be reduced. And when interest rates go up, the US will not even be able to service the debt. So a debt default is very likely in the next few years.
Whilst US GDP is up 20x since 1969, China’s GDP is up 175x. There can be little doubt that China will be the next global economic superpower. Only a revolution in China would stop that.
Gold is up 53x since 1969 and the Dow 34x. If dividends after tax are included and reinvested, the rise of the Dow and gold would be fairly equal.
I started the article with China’s view, in 1971, on the future of the dollar and the US economy. The debt explosion and slow GDP growth are clear evidence of how right China was.
But the dollar’s 98% fall against gold and 79% against the Swiss franc confirms China’s 1971 prediction:
“…..the seriousness of the US economic crisis and the decay and decline of the entire capitalist system.”
“…..mark the collapse of capitalist monetary system with the US dollar as its prop…. Nixon’s new economic policy cannot extricate the US from financial and economic crisis.”
So there we have it. The wise Chinese saw half a century ago what would happen to the US, the dollar and the capitalist system and they knew already then that they would be the main beneficiaries.
But destruction of currencies and fall of empires is not new in history. Von Mises stated this phenomenon very eloquently:
2021 THE CHINESE YEAR OF THE GOLDEN OX
2021 will be the Chinese year of the Metal or Golden Ox. It will also be the 50th anniversary of Nixon’s fatal decision to end the gold backing of the dollar.
As the golden ox rises in China, the US bald eagle will crash to the ground as a symbol of the crashing dollar and US economy.
2021 is likely to be an ominous year in the global economy. We may not see the “final and total catastrophe of the currency system” completed already then but we are likely to see the start of the final dollar collapse and a major surge in gold and silver.
Anyone holding depreciating dollars and other currencies will soon regret not holding real money in the form of physical gold and silver.
