👉 Unemployment To Soar As Small Business Firings Start -- Economic Collapse 2020







The Paycheck Protection Program or PPP was funded with $350 billion in the last stimulus bill, this money is now gone. Of the thirty million small businesses in America, only 1.7 million received money from the 2.3 trillion dollar aid package passed to help sustain America during this difficult time. If the government blew through this money and was only was able to help only around 5% of small businesses it is difficult to think another 250 billion dollars will set things straight. Clearly, because the government made promises it delayed the wave of firing while companies waited for help. The government has failed to keep its promise so now we should expect unemployment to soar as reality sets in. One of the largest problems facing small companies is they are often underfunded and have difficulty getting financing at reasonable rates. Banks find larger companies much more profitable. The sector of the economy most damaged by the covid-19 shutdown is small business. When this is over America will find many small businesses have been decimated and are not able to reopen. Others will never recover and be forced to close within months. Since small businesses employ over 54 million people in America and their importance in the economy should not be underestimated.

👉The Twilight-zone Economy Resulting From Covid-19 !! -- Economic Collapse 2020







Currently, our economy is caught somewhere in the Twilight-Zone, a place that exists for moments but where wrong decisions often lead to madness. While this is happening a great deal of the population sits at home trying to ignore the reality developing outside their walls. The truth is we will not know where we are until we reach the other side. When that will be is uncertain but do not expect the economy to land on its feet. Hopefully, it will not be as bad as many hyped-up doom-porn forecasters predict, unfortunately, covid-19 has taken a heavy toll on society. This is not intended to be a fluff piece but to hit on some key realities we face going forward. As much as we would like to put this behind us this world altering event is still very much in our face.

👉 Are You Ready For The Greater Depression ?!







For those of you that were expecting just a “deep recession”, I am afraid that you are going to be very disappointed. It took years for the U.S. economy to fully unravel in the 1930s, but now we have witnessed a similar level of economic devastation in just a matter of weeks. More than 26 million Americans have already lost their jobs, economic activity has come to a standstill, people are lining up for miles at food banks all over the nation, and businesses are being permanently shuttered at a staggering pace. But the good news is that some states will attempt to “reopen” their economies in the weeks ahead. In most instances, there will be several stages before all of the restrictions are finally lifted, and that means that economic suffering will be stretched out for an extended period of time. And of course if cases and deaths start spiking again we could see another wave of strict lockdowns all over the country, and needless to say that would greatly escalate this economic downturn.

👉The Food Supply Chain Is Breaking -- Economic Collapse 2020






When meat processing facilities started shutting down because of the coronavirus pandemic, we were initially told not to worry because the facilities that were still operating normally would be able to make up the difference. But now all of that has changed. As you will see below, even the mainstream media is beginning to use the phrase “meat shortages”, and we are being told to brace for supply chain disruptions all over America. Hopefully any “shortages” will only last for a few months, and hopefully supply chain disruptions will disappear later this year as the pandemic fades. But this is yet another example that shows how exceedingly vulnerable our system has become, and it makes one wonder what will happen once a crisis even worse than this pandemic comes along.

👉Food Banks Run - Breadlines - Planned Starvation of America !!


👉Food Banks Run - Breadlines - Planned Starvation of America !!






Experts are warning that pandemic is putting the world at risk of widespread famines of biblical proportions. There are growing concerns about food supplies in America. Especially in the meat industry as meatpacking plants are shutting down. Food lines are growing across the nation, as food shortage and hunger crisis develop. The fastest-growing businesses in America today are food-banks. But as supplies tighten and demand soars, many food banks have closed for lack of supplies, donations, and volunteers. The ones that remain open are squeezed between short supplies and surging demand from needy families as the pandemic has put more than 26,5 million Americans out of work. Food shortages are already starting to develop as food banks are overwhelmed with hungry people. An unprecedented volume of Americans are flooding food banks. And this is just the beginning of the beginning. It's going to get a lot uglier in the months ahead. In March alone food banks nationwide distributed more than Three hundred seventy-nine million meals, a 20 percent jump. Fifty-four million Americans could go hungry due to the pandemic, including 18 million children.26.5 million people have filed for unemployment benefits in five weeks as the economy crashes into depression. In Los Angeles, 50% of the people are unemployed. Millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table, food processing plants are struggling to get food to them with 51 COVID related closures just in one part of the Midwest. There is a 100 percent increase in foodbank demand in New York, for example. The American Holodomor is coming. There is no rational basis for closing the slaughterhouses over a few cases of the virus, just as we don't close them every year over the flu. We are getting played, folks. They are testing and shutting down critical parts of the food supply chains. And not shutting down the real vectors of the virus, like the post office and Amazon. Everyone cooks their chicken before eating. Nobody cooks their mail. This is a deliberate attack on the food supply chain for the American people. Nothing is more tyrannical than threatening people with starvation. People need to be taking care of themselves. But on a positive note, this is your opportunity to learn to become self-sufficient and grow your own food in your own garden. And if you have enough land, raise your own chickens. The US Government and bankers stole your pension, savings, and future, and they are about to starve you. Food and water are the ultimate weapons. This is what happens when the Government will pay people more to call in sick than to work. The processing plant sits empty. And the grocery store meat and fresh produce aisles sit empty. Any doubts that the government is the problem and not the solution should be laid to rest. This is reminding me of stories from the old Soviet Union. Gross mismatch of available resources. Why are we paying 26 Million unemployed to sit at home watching TV, while at the same time we are destroying our food supply due to lack of workers? But again, how else can you crash an economy if you don’t bribe unskilled labor to stay home. How does food processing not come under an essential job and, therefore, still remain open? So between higher food prices, unemployment, and harder times ahead, they somehow thought, "let's kill all our livestock and burn them in a pile!" I believe the concept at play is called "Ransom." Either conform to the emergent technocracy, take the shot and eat bugs, or defend your freedom and end up being transported off to the camps. Don't want to starve? You'll take that vaccine and chip, whether you like it or not. A large farm has turned to "depopulation" this month after processing plants were unable to accept chickens because of reduced capacity. Depopulation? - Are we talking about chickens or humans? We are the same thing, I guess. Global Farms Cull Millions Of Americans Amid Virus Related Soylent Green Shortages At Federal Reserve Processing Plants. Folks have no idea of the extraordinary evil about to be unleashed on the planet. Even when they see it, they won't comprehend it. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Before the pandemic, 1 in 7 Americans relied on food banks; Now, the demand has tripled. Millions of Americans are lining up for food. Meanwhile, Millions of tons of food is rotting in the fields. Farmers are destroying produce, dumping milk, and culling livestock because the pandemic has upended supply chains, making it impossible for many to get crops to market. We have long, food-bank lines and farmers destroying food. The problem is linking all of them together. The National Guard has been deployed to the nation's food banks to ensure food supply chain networks are not severed, and that the logistical pipelines of food to these facilities can continue dishing out care packages to the working poor. But how about deployments at meatpacking facilities and dairy's, chicken farms, etc.? How about helping planting and harvesting? Or is this a PLANNED famine? Is this the Department of Homeland Holodomor. The Fear-mongering Caused Irreversible Damage to the Economy. So many Americans are food insecure now. Food banks in desperate need. We already have food bank runs, also called breadlines across the country. Food prices at the store are skyrocketing. People are literally starving and going broke. Farmers are upset they can't get the migrant workers here to pick the crops. They are now Dumping Food While Americans Starve. Farmers should plant 50% less with this ongoing attack on small businesses. Half the restaurants will never open part of the plan of these in power again to reduce the middle class and make the rich richer. Beef, Pork, and Chicken plants being shut down everywhere. This sounds like a prearranged food shortage. This is a manufactured food crisis. Farmers have very high-cost inputs. To package, transport, and then donate their crops would cause further hardship for the farmers, most likely bankrupting them. What is happening to the Food Industrial Complex is nothing short of a demand collapse, and like oil, there is no place to put all the output the industry is designed to produce. They lock you all up and take away your jobs and money. They go on TV and lie about sending you $1,200, while their buddies get Billions. And as a final insult, they have armed Americans guarding the food banks supply. Food as a weapon. This is what governments do to enslave their own citizens into submission. This could also be an experiment to see how we react how easy we are to be controlled by the few in order to implement another controlled narrative. Quarantine is what you do to restrict the movement of a sick person. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of a healthy person. Covid19 is the biggest scapegoat of all time. The real virus that’s spreading is fear, False Evidence Appearing Real! The greater threat is not the virus, but it's the attack on our civil liberties. Once you relinquish your freedom and Liberty, it's hard to get them back. We may never get back our civil liberties. We are borrowing against our children's future in order to lock down society to prevent severe flu from passing through our general population. Many layers to this agenda. But one question is, where will all the money come from? We have already entered WW3, and just don't know it yet. It is a war against We The People. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Food stamps is where they hid the modern-day breadlines until Covid-19 came along. New reality. We are going full communist with bread lines now. The Bolsheviks game plan for starvation. All by design. They are going to get the inflation they wanted one way or another; Massive food inflation. Food processors are a target of the FED as part of the Stop, Reset, Collapse, Restart. Put controls on food supplies to scare the sheeple. They want to double the price of food. $25K checks could have been drafted for every American with the 8 trillion bailouts. Instead, the multinational corporations & the banks were given free money to bolster the stock market so Trump could still stay on top of the race for the 2020 election. Way to "Make America Great Again"; yeah, just like we were during the Great Depression. Food consumption in this country is like it's oil consumption, excessive and wasteful, and unsustainable. Life in the US over the last 50 years has developed into a wasteful, unsustainable world of imagination and not reality. People eat meat three times a day, every day. Personally, I am a vegetarian. The reality is, if Americans had to raise, kill, clean, and cook even 30% of the meat they eat, the world would be a much different place. These abominations they call farms where animals are processed assembly-line style by the millions were never going to be a long term event. People are dreaming that they think they could live this way "forever." I believe The globalist are forcefully implementing what they knew was about to happen anyway. Massive collapse in energy (oil, food) production as it was unsustainable. This could result in a massive "culling" of humanity. There is a force at work here much greater than Washington DC. Better wake up and plan accordingly. We are only at the beginning of this meltdown. Imagine things as bad as you can and then add another 10%. All the previous depression people are dead and gone. We alive today, can't even imagine the pain that is coming. During the great depression, in the 1930s, with only a tenth of America's current population, game animals were hunted to near extinction. Within a few months, you'll be down to hunting cats and dogs. Food banks and charities used to be done by private organizations like Churches. Just look at the sad state of affairs we are in as a nation. The government has destroyed everything we hold dear to our hearts, including charity and caring for those in need. They make us throw good food away because of "food regulations" and then create shortages by way of regulation. They are to be blamed for every ailment in this country. Second, food shock coming as restaurants prepare to open. Massive waste after they finally get stocked at higher prices, and no customers show up. To be clear, this issue was not caused by the COVID 19. This issue was caused by federal and state governments shutting down all businesses and putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work. Combine that with shutting down all of the food plants because someone had the sniffles. Never, ever, ever has the government just shut down the food supply because of the flu. This is all engineered. Food as a weapon. This is what governments do to enslave their own citizens into submission! This is a PLANNED famine. First, they came for the pigs, and I didn’t say anything because I’m not a, well anyway I didn’t say anything. Then they came for the chickens, and I didn’t say anything because I’m not a, well, anyway again I didn’t say anything. They came for the milk cows, and I didn’t say anything because I’m not a, well figuratively speaking maybe. Then they came for the beef cattle, and I didn’t say anything because I’m not beef cattle. By the time they came for the soy, there was no one left to protest. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉America is on its Way to Becoming Another Venezuela: Hyperinflation & The Death of The Dollar !!


👉America is on its Way to Becoming Another Venezuela: Hyperinflation & The Death of The Dollar !!




The pandemic has triggered an unprecedented economic crisis in American history; the share scale of it is far beyond anyone's expectations. The biggest cities are shutdown; Stock markets are in freefall, Tens of millions of pounds of American-grown produce is rotting in fields while food banks are scrambling to meet a massive surge in demand. The housing prices are falling. Everything is falling. It is over. Restaurants are Done, Food Service Companies are Done, Pro sports sare Done, Big Entertainment Concerts shows are done. Game Over. Complete Collapse. The outbreak wreaked economic havoc on a magnitude not seen since the Great Depression. America is now broke and on its own. There will be no recovery. There will be austerity mingled with chaos. Americans are going to get to see a Venezuelan style societal failure up close and personal. With 40% unemployment and surging inflation. The elephant in the room is the debt bubble. America is trillions in the hole. The real crash is yet to come: when investors realize interest rates will be low forever and inflation picks up.No one but the US government will want dollar-denominated debt. The Dollar’s Days Are Now numbered, and The Fed Knows it. That's why the printing presses are on it day and night. They are trying to delay it for as long as possible. Now they can't; it is totally out of their hands. They know we have reached the end of their monetary experiment that started in 1913 when gold used to be one to one with the US Dollar. Since then, the dollar has depreciated by almost 97%. We are witnessing the remaining 3% evaporating before our own very eyes. The debts will never be repaid. They will migrate us to a new monetary system. The balance sheet will be cleared as a result of migration. The awful effect will, of course, be hyperinflation due to the effect of so much money in circulation. Watch the drama unfolds. The biggest problem is ultimately going to be food. They are shutting down plants because a handful of workers might test positive or have symptoms. Instead of telling the sick workers to stay home, as we do with the flu, we shutter the whole plant indefinitely. Well, guess what is happening. Farmers don't have anywhere to bring their pigs or poultry to get processed, and they have to euthanize them. They can't afford to feed them because they have no income. And they are killing the piglets because they can't raise them. So the pork plant is closed because of a handful of COVID cases , and the pork supply is reduced. And then when the pork plant workers are healthy again, there won't be any pigs to process, because the farmer had to kill them all. This is nothing short of a CONTROLLED DEMOLITION of the global food supply/ economy/ monetary / commerce system. America is a debt-fueled fantasy world so detached from reality that it boggles the mind of anyone paying attention. But as long as the world continues to believe the lie, we still can do as we please. People are still optimistic. Just wait until they see how weak demand is for everything, and companies continue to operate at a loss despite being bailed out. Our big, bloated, overbearing federal government is already pushing for digital currency and microchipped subjects (I mean citizens). If you are not turning your dollars into physical gold or silver, you are going to get wiped out. Unless you like having to take a wheelbarrow full of money to the corner store to buy something like a pack of gum, if that's your thing, then go for it. I am thinking that the political/bankster elites will start clamoring to default on the public debt owed to China as "reparations" for COVID-19. When that happens, it's your signal that the doors are slamming shut on the fiat dollar forever. An economy cannot survive on bailouts forever. At some point, people have to produce actual goods and services. We are way passed a recession now, and debt to GDP is exploding as debt is rising because GDP is falling. The average credit card holder has at least four cards. On average, each household with a credit card carries $8,398 in credit card debt. Total U.S. consumer debt is at $13.86 trillion. That includes mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and student loans. The Americans are now so mired in debt that the elite will continue to carry on draining the pot as they have done with the repo. Bailing out working- and middle-class Americans, though, is an absolute non-starter for the ruling elite. The upper crust will throw around vacuous catch phrases, like the deliciously ironic “moral hazard,” to make their argument, which is pretty rich considering the vermin on Wall Street and their cronies on Capitol Hill are so morally bereft, it is a hazard to all humanity. Sad to say USA is a total mess. Local small businesses are losing a ton of money. -Sales have dropped to nothing even if they are fully open. -They are being buried in new Government regulations. -They have piles of forms for financial aid that are complex and overwhelming. -Even if all the small businesses were allowed to open today, the Mainstream media FEAR PROPAGANDA is keeping the Sheeple at home. All by design to keep the people enslaved and in fear. And no more small businesses, as the big corporations, will take over. This virus is to distract you from the FACT that next year, no matter who is president, we will be faced with inflation that would make Paul Volcker shutter in his wingtip shoes. The debt was bad enough, but adding 2.2 trillion of WASTE on to it and more in the shadows....well. Take that to the banks. America is on its way to becoming another Venezuela. MANY parts of the USA are already Venezuela. This is a big country. But as one traverses this great majestic land, one quickly realizes that there is INDEED two America's. I travel to places where folks been suffering through the "great depression" for, oh, I dunno, the last forty, 50 years .. Then again, there are the cities, many resembling Dresden, after the firebombing. Tent cities outback of the Walmart. Folks sleeping in their cars down by the river. A record number of millennials moving back with moms and pops (or never left). Except, in that case, there is no longer a farm to work. Yes, sports fans, "there will always be the poor among us." Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Shutting down someone's livelihood or business is the same as seizing it. The government required to provide just compensation for its seizures. Of course, the seizures are also illegal, so the government not only has to pay, but they must also be sent to jail. When you and I go to court with our demands, the governments will argue that there were no orders and that all the behavior was voluntary. That means protecting your rights and your livelihood. You must go back to work; otherwise, they will say you voluntarily destroyed yourself. This is not a stretch. This is coming. I did not volunteer for any of it. Nor should you. For those who have paid any attention, you got screwed in 2008, when the housing bubble popped. That is when this money printing, bank, and corporate bailout madness started, and it is what inflated the stock markets over the past decade. The Fed is who inflated the housing bubble and was the Fed that reinflated the recent debt bubble, which popped in January by the way, and the air is still draining from that bubble. There is no possible way to reinflate it, so don't get your hope's up, and here is why. Nothing was fixed after the housing bubble popped; it was all covered up with inflation or "Expansion of the Money Supply." Now, we have enormous amounts of money chasing too few products, as no one is making anything, as millions of people are now out of work and about to lose everything. If anyone thinks all of this unemployment and economic decline is going to drive stock prices, which were already incredibly overpriced, and are still expensive, they need their heads examined. What the Fed is doing now is simply pissing good money after bad ideas, and the end result will be catastrophic. For those who want to make money, buy physical gold. It is already up 30+%in 2020 while most everything else is down 30% and it is going a lot higher. The American economy had been like a dying star. A star dies when it starts to expand, burning up its own mass instead of generating its energy in a sustainable way. The star keeps burning away more and more of its mass, becoming less and less dense until it cannot support the burning. It stops burning and collapses into a black hole. Greenspan's liquidity had diluted up the asset values with all kinds of financial products, derivatives, rehypothecation, securitization, bulldust, etc. A solid asset-based economy had been hollowed out and expanded. Liquidity had kept the economy expanded like a dying star, and as a Ponzi, the next liquidity pump must be exponentially bigger than the one before. In 2008, for a start, at least $25 trillion was created and 'loaned' out to all the banks in the world. This time The Fed must create at least $50 trillion to $250 trillion for a start to stop the collapse. If you study deep history, you would understand what is really going on—this isn't well-intentioned foolishness. This economic collapse is a part of a very long term plan that the European banks have used to usurp entire continents by monetary policies and central banks. It started around the Renaissance in Venice and was moved to Spain as the Americas were colonized. Then for a short time, Holland was involved, then England ruled the waves with their Navy and has really never relinquished financial control although America was a proxy military through today. The banks' final prize is, you guessed it, China!. That's it in short. It's All been engineered. Patterns are VERY telling. If you've read Jared Diamond's book, Guns Germs and Steel, you would see a repeated pattern utilized by European colonists throughout the age of discovery, i.e., guns, germs, and steel. Now, if you study the rise of banking, which had its seminal point in the early middle ages with the Knights Templars and the Vatican putting usury on ALL transactions through their bankers, you would see the greedy human pattern repeated over and over. Now forward to Waterloo and the banking interests betting on both sides and through this owning ALL banking House's that mattered on the planet right up to today. We need the gold standard back! Otherwise, the financial industry will eat the rest of the economy, like any other predator. Honest money (gold, silver) can't be manipulated like currency. America will never be the same; the takedown of America was planned decades ago. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉 Taxation is Theft -- Economic Collapse 2020









A few years ago, I suggested that taxation be stopped altogether. With so many people no longer concerned about deficit spending the idea now seems more viable. With so many people thinking that deficit government spending helps drive the economy at some point our leaders and those across the globe might want to give us taxpayers a break. Why not stop taxation entirely? Just End It! Such a policy would go a long way to diminish the divide polarizing our nation.

👉States Bankruptcies Are The Next Shoe to Drop-America will Follow !!


👉States Bankruptcies Are The Next Shoe to Drop-America will Follow !!





States Bankruptcies are the next shoe to drop. The Pandemic has triggered a severe state budget crisis, the full magnitude of which is not yet evident. State revenues are declining precipitously while costs are rising sharply. States across America have seen their revenues dropping as revenues from income tax and sales tax are falling. Many are going to have to make significant cuts fast unless the federal government does more to step in. Thirty-one states rely on income taxes as their most significant sources of revenue, but fewer Americans will have paychecks coming in because of the outbreak, meaning a decrease in tax revenue. Some states such as Florida and Washington have no income tax and rely on sales tax, but those revenues have also taken a hit. State budget shortfalls this time around could total more than $500 billion in a single year. Cities and states across the country are now sounding the alarm. About 70 percent of tax revenue for states comes from sales and income taxes. And given that economic activity has been brought to a stop across much of the country — thousands of businesses have closed, millions of people have been laid off — you can start to see the problem. There is no question that sales tax revenue has completely fallen off the table, so that is about one-third of state revenues that are completely collapsing, and then income taxes are also falling rapidly with all those people getting laid off. And with the stock market decline, that means that quarterly tax payments that wealthy people and corporations pay will be lower. That is two primary revenue sources that are in very sharp decline, much steeper than anything from the Great Recession. Another group of states face a double threat. States with a high concentration of oil-related industries are seeing a decline in economic activity and tax collections due to plunging oil prices on top of COVID-19-related effects and the recession. Blue states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California are all basically bankrupt, brought to this point by their voters who think there is free lunch to pay for massive government salaries and pensions. How many pension millionaires are there in these states! Way too many. Why would other states bail them out !. The millions of people that would be getting hurt would be the taxpayers in states that didn't need a bailout. Let's socialize the debt of New York, California, and Illinois. Every American owes it to every other American to make sure. They might have made bad choices, but we are all in this together. Next year no state budget will be too large for the taxpayers of the rest of the country to subsidize. Every state worker earned his/her pension, so the rest of us have to guarantee it. McCabe wouldn't retire until he had his retirement secured. After all the pension is the goal of every government worker, sitting at his desk, five days a week, staring at a government computer, waiting to go home after 3:00, waiting for the weekend off, waiting until he/she can retire with a $2 million pension. Yeah, we should guarantee more of that. Wall Street are the ultimate predators, but the public sector unions aren't far behind. They get guaranteed percentage gains and six-figure pensions. In Silicon, all the tech companies either made it or didn't, and there were no bailouts. That is the way it supposed to work. No bailout in actual Capitalism. All government employees should have never gotten more than $50,000 per year pension. Anything over that is pure lunacy! Open up the economy and no bailouts to any government or corporation. Ten trillion more dollars already gone up in smoke and added to our debt. Forget the states, America as a whole is going to default soon. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took a hard line Wednesday against more funding for state and local governments. He suggested in interviews Wednesday that Democrats are trying to get the federal government to essentially bail out state and local governments for bad decisions they made related to public pension obligations and other sources of expensive debt. "I would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route," McConnell told Hugh Hewitt in a radio interview. "It saves some cities. And there's no good reason for it not to be available. My guess is their first choice would be for the federal government to borrow money from future generations to send it down to them now, so they don't have to do that. That's not something I'm going to be in favor of." What McConnell doesn't know is that the U.S. Constitution has no allowance for states to file bankruptcy. A city can, but not a state. It's called a default, it's not legal, and the debts are still binding. We are so freaking doomed. To allow this to happen would require a new Constitutional Amendment. It is stupid to amend title 11 and allow individual states to be eligible for bankruptcy protects, enabling them to discharge unpaid state debts and liabilities. Besides moral hazard, it just passes back losses of outstanding debts to banks, pension funds as whole owning state bonds, to other owners or investors of state debts. Let's just bail everyone out by printing money, and if not, just make it legal not to pay back debts, government, corporate, and individual alike. A clear recipe in itself to destroy economy in as much as state shutdowns of business. Bankruptcies mean haircuts for bondholders. Legacy pension and healthcare obligations mean it is inevitable. We can bail them out, But they will just be back again in a few years asking to be bailed out again. What would Declaring bankruptcy accomplish? More unpaid debtors who would now refuse to do any more business with the state unless they are paid cash in advance. Tens of thousands of pensioners who would come up with ingenious ways to get their money back from the state. Untold numbers of investors who would not buy bonds again for fear of getting burned. All of this being suggested by one of the politicians who voted to limit bankruptcy for average citizens during the credit reform act. Debt jubilee is about the only way out of this one. These are gruesome times, but they believe they have the tech tools to control the entire population upon an involuntary basis, so they are going for it because they are facing the chop after the final straw of total incompetence. Politicians won't do it until it hits 40 or 50 trillion. Then they will run away to New Zealand or somewhere where the pitchforks can't get to them. Decades of election bribes to unions for new government jobs, with double-time pay, over hiring, health coverage for life, and full salary pensions have resulted in these states bankruptcies. That's what happens when you elect narcissistic fools who have never had a real job, ran a business, and know absolutely nothing about how the real world works. In the real world, FAILURE is how we are held accountable and learn from our mistakes. Governors have been in bed with unions to promise pensions that cannot ever be paid unless they get a federal bailout. NEVER were the pensions feasible. The political lying class was complicit with unions and employees to make sure the contributions were artificially low while the payouts were gamed by focusing on the highest-earning year, which was PACKED with overtime hours. This is PURE CORRUPTION, and now they want to be bailed out. They are trying to socialize the costs while reaping the benefits. Ditto private enterprise. The pension funds were based on an 8% rate of return. That's the line Wall Street was selling in the 1980s in order to privatize the pensions (and get their hands on the money). No pension fund can come anywhere close to that rate of return. Hence, bankruptcies. The states should have to be made to pay for their transgressions. Each one of these States are in trouble based on the decisions they have made. On the one hand, Governors-General, like Cuomo and Inslee, claim that the states are the supreme pillars of the sovereignty in the nation, that they - and only they - will determine their own fate and that they - and only they - are calling the shots. On the other hand, they hold the cup with which to beggar from the national government. They chose to overpay their workers and over-promise pensions, for political gain, while well-run states made better choices. To bail them out is to REWARD lousy decision making. The States will just continue the same behavior that got them in such a sorry shape. Think of all of the state and municipal bonds that would default, or be worth fractions of a penny after bankruptcy court. Public employee pensions ultimately wrote off or paid a tiny fraction of what the public employee unions negotiated. The Blue states made a mess of their balance sheets, and the blue voters keep re-electing the blue politicians. Reap what you sow. Going to be a whole bunch of retired state employees pulling in fat pensions before they turned 50 who are about to begin looking for employment. Breaks my heart. The government-mandated economic decline affects all economic activities, including state and municipal operations and revenues. If the state and lost municipal revenues are not restored as they have been for businesses and households, then there will be a massive wave of municipal bond defaults. The Municipal bond market is vast, including issuing authorities that have the notorious pension liabilities, while the majority do not. For example, revenue bonds for housing, hospitals, utilities, transportation, etc... The Republicans should be wise and fair enough to craft a relief package for state and municipal operations that excludes funding for pensions but does provide revenue continuity for economically useful and necessary activities .Especially after the Republicans exuberantly bailed out corporate executive parasites, hedge funds, etc. By the way, BOTH of the monopoly political parties are immoral social parasites. They'd have to change the Constitution or do what they always do. We wouldn't be in this mess if we stuck to the Constitution. If silver and gold were the only monetary instruments, then we wouldn't be dealing with a debt-based Ponzi scheme. States do not have to declare bankruptcy. States can merely repudiate their debt. States are sovereign. Unsecured lenders would have no recourse against a sovereign state. The king can do no wrong. A State filing for bankruptcy confesses it is a business and not a sovereign. Sovereigns go insolvent, and the lenders are stuck. Businesses go bankrupt. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉The Coming Economic End Game This Will End Badly -- Economic Collapse 2020








The wonderful thing about numbers is that when they are not jockeyed, jerked around, and falsified they tend to tell the truth. Continuing on this thought looking down the road the numbers do not work. This is where the late, Allen Meltzer, recognized for his wisdom and achievements in economics, enters the story. Meltzer was a professor of political economy at Carnegie Mellon University and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. He authored the three-volume “A History of the Federal Reserve” and for over 25 years he chaired the Shadow Open Market Committee, a group that meets regularly to discuss the policy of the Federal Reserve.

👉 Giant Locust Armies Of “Biblical Proportions” Threaten To Cause Mass Starvation In Africa !!







Even before COVID-19 became the biggest public health crisis to hit the globe in decades, enormous swarms of locusts the size of major cities were devouring crops throughout eastern Africa, across the Middle East and even in some parts of Asia. Now a new generation that officials are describing as “20 times bigger” has emerged, and the devastation that this new generation of locusts is causing is extremely alarming. These colossal locust swarms can travel up to 90 miles a day, and as you will see below, when they descend upon a field they can literally eat everything there in as little as 30 seconds. This new generation of locusts has been spotted as far south as Congo, as far north as Iran and as far east as India. In other words, the food supplies of billions of people are at risk.

👉Universal Basic Income & The Nationalizing Of Everything As Unemployment Goes Astronomical !!


👉Universal Basic Income & The Nationalizing Of Everything As Unemployment Goes Astronomical !!






Already 26 MILLION UNEMPLOYED; And that number is so low compared to the reality that most people cannot even get through to apply. This is a tragedy for American workers. Ane to make things even worse; A lot of companies plan on hiring cheaper labor to take the place of the employees who were laid off during the lockdown. Yet, borders remain open. But business locked down. Everyone under forced house arrest. If they save the normal people, they will save the economy. But they chose to save the corporations and the stock market instead. The people are now afraid, not from the coronavirus but of losing their jobs and incomes. We have almost 30 million jobs lost, and the stock market goes up! So maybe if we all lose our jobs, the market will go even higher. Stocks are officially overvalued. People have no idea that smart money has been selling and retail holding the bag. Most buyback shares went right out the backdoor in the form of stock options for self-dealing executives, who are now social distancing in their bug-out retreats, estates, and islands. We the people, we are going to have the Universal Basic Income as unemployment goes astronomical. John Williams of Shadow Stats says it's really over 30% and not the 16% the government is spinning now. Make no mistake about it; all of this is going according to plan. They don't want to reopen the economy, their stalling until their system is ready. The system has to be sufficiently crippled prior to reopening. Businesses must be seriously damaged, but not beyond the point of hope, as that way, small business owners can become debt slaves for the privilege of attempting to bail water from their sinking ships. To call what's going on sinister is an understatement. Between the continuously extended quarantines and the endless prodding of agent provocateurs, everything possible is being done to provoke the public into rebelling. Once rioting occurs, the 1-2 punch of Martial Law and gun confiscation will quickly follow. They WANT people hungry. They want people scared. They want people discombobulated that way. They can offer the "solution" part of the setup, problem, reaction, solution. We are still in the "reaction" stage, but soon we will be begging for the solution. One world order, one world cashless banking, one-world government. We are just getting to the "coup de grace" of the old world as we knew it. That is what they want - make everyone numb, then they can do anything. Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world. The way to handle people is like chickens. Take away everything they have by plucking all their feathers and then throw them some breadcrumbs. They will then follow you forever. Universal Basic Income and the nationalizing of everything won't happen until after the November elections. There is no way Trump is going to open himself up to being labeled a socialist. It will kill his popularity with his base. When they do roll it all out, it will be because states, pension funds, and businesses are going bankrupt, the system has completely crashed and cannot be revived, and then the government will hold it up as a way to save us because they have no other choice. This system is a house of cards built on a house of cards. Every house of cards tumbles down eventually. No one should have been bailed out. The idiots running the shitshow known as the Fed GOVERNMENT are afraid of fires, so they tried to buy off the citizens. The fires are coming, and what they have done will make the fires larger. The biggest fire that's going to be very hard to put out will be the masses of enraged citizens looking for blood for what's been done to them. One way or another, it's coming, just plain inevitable because karma is inevitable. I believe it's the anger towards those entitled who never pay for their crimes and transgressions like the rest of us do; that will trigger some irreversible change to our country. Hard to say what that'll be. But it's shaping up to be what we deserve, as usual, good old karma, and that ain't pretty already. When your government is pushing universal basic income, they are basically saying quite clearly that the economy is screwed, your jobs are finished, and we are resetting the economy and your lives; TO COMMUNISM. Central Banking is Banker and Government collusion in a kleptocracy. Meanwhile, ungrounded from reality, these elitist's delusions grow. The world is full of risks. Ultimately we all succumb to one of them. But in kleptocrats divorce from underlying reality, their view of risks becomes obscenely distorted, leading to INSANE priorities like preferring the 100% fatal risk of mass hunger to the .01% risk of COVID. The real risks of life are invisible to kleptocrats because they've never dealt with them before. Nothing ever changes for the better; it only changes for the worse. Ultimately, we have no one else to blame but ourselves. We elect the same jokers who get bribed with political contributions and who then go to work for the lobbying firms and big corporations, once they leave Congress. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here because you want to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The entire system from central and fractional-reserve banking to rigged markets to fake news, democracy, and justice to obsolescent junk from China and other sweatshops is rotten and corrupt right to the core. In fact, the entire economic and political system is nothing more than a system of massive theft, plunder, and enslavement for the benefit of an entrenched criminal and evil global syndicate. There wouldn't be so many stock buybacks if the market set the rate of interest rather than the Fed. Exactly. The manipulated world of capital costs leads otherwise smart people to make what will be insane decisions. In a world where capital costs zero, how much would you like to borrow to buy back your stock that yields 1%? The answer is all of it. The Fed created the landscape where this decision made sense. The centralized planning of the cost of capital and interest rates is the issue, not the decisions that are the result. Stocks buybacks are a form of market manipulation, and the banksters have the power, money, and influence to simply change any law that is inconvenient in their eternal quest to fleece the sheep. Corporate stock buybacks allow the insiders to basically embezzle money out of the pockets of regular shareholders. The board approves taking on record amounts of debt to be served by its income stream. They then take those loans and buy back shares. Then when the company takes a nosedive, the regular schmoes are left holding the hot potato. Is there one thing in this system that isn't fraudulent. "The entire stock market rally of the past 20 years is nothing but a gigantic fraud based on stock buybacks funded by debt. Stocks go up because the majority owners of the stock borrow money from a banking sector that gives nearly-free money to financiers and corporations. The corporate insiders buy back shares with the borrowed money, and the company services the loan. The company's income is devoted to paying the debt taken on to boost the personal wealth of insiders. That's a fraud. Or, if you prefer, embezzlement." Actually a form of Insider Trading, and it was illegal until 1982. We are now in the post-capitalist era. Markets no longer exist. There has been an economic coup. The virus was used to create a policy response that popped the Everything Bubble and facilitated cover to place the bankrupt and insolvent economy in receivership. The Central Bank cartel is the receiver. A managed reorganization is in progress that will allow the economy to re-emerge from receivership, but it will not be the same economy. Collapsing the fraud should not be confused with collapsing the economy. But if you are employed in the fraud economy, it will feel like it. Real business is simple: Provide a product or service at a price people are willing to pay. The Fed, the income tax, and the whole charade of fractional-reserve banking and fiat currency to support it have one purpose, to disrupt the real economy. They disrupt the real economy by giving nothing-for-something to the real economy in order to give something-for-nothing to themselves. So, what happens when you govern to SYSTEMATICALLY punish real wealth creation while SYSTEMATICALLY rewarding fraud? When the real economy goes, when Atlas Shrugs, what do we eat? Now it's time to find a sustained and long-lasting path for humanity when the upending reset comes. I surely do not want the repeat of the same system where power and control are in the hands of the few. We are now at the point where we should be benefiting from collective knowledge people have and allowing us to live life according to our perspective. Resources the world has are plenty when our knowledge is applied effectively and efficiently. Many issues that we are facing now and the upcoming future under AI age can be addressed adequately. All wealth classes will benefit from this. Living standards of those in countries with high debt per capita will not go down, but those in lesser will move up. But all will benefit because of knowledge, product/service transfer – business spur across borders to bring about higher living standards of those in less developed nations. This is a worldwide paradigm shift in the social, financial, and political system to harmonize living for all. Numbers work, and the logic works wonderfully once you understand its concept. I hope that soon these ideas will be seriously discussed at the world level. This is what we really need : • Fundamental human needs met throughout life’s existence. • Basic human rights observed everywhere. • Sovereign debts worldwide are settled and eliminated. • Upheld liberty and freedom. • Financial contributions drawn from a portion of idle/unutilized money. • No taxes on income, profit, or spending. • Interest charges and usury practices abolished. • Power of money creation where it belongs - the people. • An end to the fractional reserve system. • Upheld free-market principles (true capitalism but with social responsibility). • Decreased or dissolved inflation and hyperinflation. • Reduced income inequality. • An end to corporate welfare. • Advanced technology benefiting humanity. • Freedom of time for quality of life and caregiving. • Prohibited conditions for authoritarianism. • Preserved sovereignty and respected borders. • An end to “modern-day slavery” (this includes you). • Improved care of the environment and world resources. • A world we’re proud to claim and pass along. Once the system collapses, we the people can re-engineer it without the scams, the skims, and other assorted criminality. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉Crash Oil 2020 -- Only War could Boost Oil Prices so long The economy is in a FED Induced Coma !!

👉Crash Oil 2020 -- Only War could Boost Oil Prices so long The economy is in a FED Induced Coma !!





The prospects of the oil market for the near future do not look rosy. I don't see how demand is going to dramatically increase any time soon to facilitate a fast comeback outside of another war. And I know that's a tired old line, but with most of the country on lockdown and many parts of the economy powered down or on life support, clearing out the glut won't happen any time soon short of war. In the newly released April Oil Market Report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that world oil demand will drop 9.3 million barrels per day in 2020 compared to 2019, according to the Agency: “The impact of containment measures against COVID-19 in 187 countries and territories has reduced mobility to a minimum. April demand is estimated to be 29 million barrels a day lower than a year ago, a level last seen in 1995. For the second quarter of 2020, demand is expected to be 23.1 million barrels a day lower than the levels of the previous year. The recovery in the second half of the year will be gradual. In December, demand will continue to drop by 2.7 million barrels per day on an annual basis. Are we in the light of a new world oil order? Hard to say, but as scholar Chris Cook of University College of London wrote, in the absence of a rise in prices, the idea of ​​moving from Opec to Nopec will continue to make headway in the coming months. That is, the search for an international consensus aimed at creating a multilateral body for the management of the crude oil market, no longer based on a scheme of cooperation and competition in alternate phases, but on a framework of very specific technical protocols, similar to those applied in the World Trade Organization. Oil is quickly becoming a barbarous relic. For sure, there will be a lot more crazy ups and downs in the coming months, but this is what an economic collapse looks like, and it is just starting. It is actually refreshing to see economic fundamentals cannot be manipulated or ignored forever. Demand is gone, so the price goes to zero. The Fed gave up on buying oil futures yesterday, and they are buying shares of the oil majors now. The panic is because there are people invested in that commodity, and in the contracts that not only have no intention of taking delivery, they have no capacity for taking delivery. All of a sudden, they are up against a wall. They call it a contract for a reason. Oil companies may fail, but not their banks. We shall see who gets pruned back to a stump when this is over, only a fool thinks they can predict the future. Bail - Ins coming. 25% of depositors to save banks. Oil is so financialized. In 2008 we had a price of more than $150 a barrel; 12 years later, we are at a negative $40. Everything is fake in the financial markets. This is The start of the end of the oil industry as we know it. The only people who should be buying are users of the commodity, not financial speculators. Of course, the oil will go high again for a bit as supply will be tight, but who wants to invest long term in a chaotic industry. You could say the economy is in a FED induced coma. But we're keeping it alive by injecting all sorts of medicine to keep the heart pumping. It's not coming back. The "economy" was deliberately sabotaged, and the fall dressed up as an unfortunate act of nature, Virus Virus Virus with a dose of, China China China. And they're not even close to done. Russia and Ukraine were acts of desperation after all the other Hobgoblins had been dispatched. Sounds a lot like a setup, sit back, and trust the plan. We're all being played! Financial institutions only need to skim a very very very tinny piece of the pie, over and over and over, to eventually rob the whole world. So, if so much of the recovery had been based on oil prices being high, doesn’t that mean that the recovery was a complete Farce! Why is a good economy predicated on an abundant commodity having a high price? What a Clown world! The energy complex pays for taxes and livelihood, and powers society. Without energy, all the politics and fiat finance may go away soon, for many months. RBOB and gas stations will go under with $1.00 gas in the cities. Later the stations may re-open, but without banks lending and without fiat finance, it will take years to recover. Energy consumption is directly correlated with GDP growth. No energy, no dice. Growth, growth growth. If we didn’t have a fake monetary system, everything wouldn’t be based on growth. You cannot have infinite growth in a finite world. The entire financial sector has become a virus that will eventually consume its host in a suicide pact. The entire oil complex today is nothing more than all Government money mafia's daily skimming avenue. Billions daily go into State and Federal fuel coffers. Millions a day are skimmed by these suckers. Most often by payments to their families or friends law firms for make-believe work on road contracts and such. It's all just a giant Money Mafia. The market is cleaning up the loan shark mafia that ruled the world via oil: Bye-bye Lazards, Kuhn Loebs, Rockefeller, Wallenberg. Citibank has the highest exposure to oil loans here in the US. They had to go into government receivership in the last time they had to bail out the banks in the mortgage crisis. It looks like it's back to solitary confinement for them soon. Someone just needs to knock these idiots in the head and break them up. The fiat finance system may be dead soon. We humans can work through the interim, and Jubilee Reset. It will be difficult and uncertain. There is no safe exit strategy. This is the start of the deflationary push. Imagine where the DOW would be today without the prop up from the Fed! Under 10k easy. The FED has killed this market. There is ZERO price discovery going on. It's now pure gambling. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here because you want to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Thomas Jefferson sent the Marines to Tripoli for much less than what's happening today in the oil market. The first international mission of the American armed forces was in Tripoli in 1802 to block the raids of Libyan pirates who attacked American cargo ships in the Mediterranean. Thus began the first Barbary War. So much so that the adventure is mentioned in the hymn of the Marines. At the time, however, the United States had not yet discovered oil. It was the oil that defined the capitalist profile of the United States since the mid-nineteenth century. Whoever hits the oil markets affects the heart of the American economy. It is for these reasons that the collapse of prices represents more than a mere market phenomenon. The other day, the price of the WTI was negative for 37 dollars a barrel. That means that oil producers paid $ 37 if someone bought their crude oil. And, according to expert Jeff Currie, the phenomenon will continue until mid-May. A collapse of this magnitude has an economic, market, but also geopolitical reasons. The market is obviously concerned about the crude oil overproduction, estimated at 30 million barrels per day. This overproduction is determined both by the slowdown in the global economic cycle and by the collapse in consumption caused by COVID 19. In the last extraordinary OPEC summit, which also extended to Russia, the producing countries decided to cut production by 10 million barrels to keep the price high; but not much was done. In fact, it made the situation even worse. Also because it is true that there is an excess supply of oil in the world, but it is clear that the causes are not generated by the market but have political matrices. It is clear that the economic impact of COVID 19 will have repercussions on the areas of the political influence of Russia and China. And to empower their respective areas of influence, the United States must redefine (that is, reduce) its own. For these reasons, Europe (A close American ally through NATO) was the area most affected by the virus. But Russian and Chinese aid arrived only in Italy. Then it was the turn of the United States on its territory. But if the social impact on the population, albeit tremendous (in the US, there are no automatic shock absorbers ), it was buffered by the White House with 3 trillion dollars, that on the real economy is unloading through the collapse of the oil price. That is the heart of the American productive apparatus just behind a fateful appointment for the USA: full oil self-sufficiency. In Saudi Arabia, extracting a barrel of oil costs 9 dollars. In Russia, 19. In the US it costs about $ 30. It is quite clear that prices below production costs lead to the failure of (often small) companies that extract crude oil (shale). Just what is happening in these hours in the United States. But the problem is not a market problem, but political. And at the White House, they know it very well. But they are doing everything to avoid falling into the geopolitical trap triggered by COVID 19. History teaches us that the collapse of the Ottoman Empire led to the redefinition of the areas of western influence in the Middle East area, those with the greatest energy reserves on the planet. After the Second World War, there was Yalta, which divided Europe into two. It is clear that to shed light on the world economic crisis, a clarifying appointment between the superpowers will be needed. And it is equally evident that China and Russia have every interest that the United States arrives at the event with an e ntirely collapsed economy. Washington, however, is the rotating president of the G-20. And Russia and China sit at the G-20. And also, Saudi Arabia, the main oil producer and first US ally in the Gulf area. A LOT of RUSSIAN OIL and GAS goes directly to CHINA. NO USA DOLLAR involved Just YUAN. The Moscow Post reports that dozens of Putin's calls from the White House have been going straight to voicemail for the past 24 hours as Putin and his friends sit back watching his phone and laughing at Trump while enjoying their vodka and pierogi's. Yes, there an economic slowdown in CHINA. Russia could SEND ALL of its ENERGY to CHINA, and that's just a DROP in the BUCKET. For now, May and June WTI contracts appear to be converging towards a price of around $10/bbl. Yikes!! Inflation-adjusted, this is the lowest price seen post-WW2!! Yesterday's rebound was most likely engineered by the market makers so they could profitably unload what they had to buy on the way down. The house never loses. Most price action has nothing to do with a real asset value or the actual supply and demand for any specific security. There is a difference between Oil Stocks and Oil Futures (which is what went negative). When you buy stock, you purchase a stake in a company with personnel, patents, equipment, and permits. When you purchase an Oil Future, you are buying the right to the quality of the oil. Not even the barrel, you are buying the obligation to remove 42,000 gallons of oil from their premises. These contracts were sold by the Oil Company as a hedge against price volatility. And in this case, the Oil Companies made off like bandits. This is why Oil stocks are stagnant. I believe this principle is the reason Starbucks is very successful. They maintain stability no matter what due to their coffee bean futures. The market is in panic mode at the moment, and I personally wouldn't even consider a position either way until the calm returns. However, looking at things, I think we will have to live with low prices and high volatility for some time ahead. Maybe until Europe and US autumn-winter comes into play where demand will naturally spike back to normal levels. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉Was Lockdown A Colossal Fiasco ?? End Lockdown Now !!


👉Was Lockdown A Colossal Fiasco ?? End Lockdown Now !!






Demonstrators nationwide are protesting defying social distancing orders and calling for an end to coronavirus lockdowns. People are frustrated; businesses have been decimated. People are running low on savings and money, and if they don’t get back to work soon, then they will lose all of their possessions. My biggest fear is that if people start to go hungry, then real riots will start. Doctor Ron Paul wrote a recent article where he asks the question : "What If The Lockdown Was A Giant Mistake!". What if the “cure” is worse than the disease? Countries like Sweden that did not lock down their economy and place the population under house arrest are faring no worse than countries that did. Sweden’s deaths-per-million from coronavirus is lower than in many lockdown countries. Imagine if we had used even a fraction of the resources spent to lock down the entire population and focused on providing assistance and protection to the most vulnerable – the elderly and those with serious medical conditions. We could have protected these people and still had an economy to go back to when the virus had run its course. And it wouldn’t have cost us six trillion dollars either. What if the stimulus money had been used instead to care for the elderly in nursing homes who statistically are the most affected? .It would have been far better for the government to do nothing at all than surrender to hysteria. This was probably one of the greatest F-ups in the entire history of humanity. Governments have no right or authority to tell us what business or other activity is “essential.” Only in totalitarian states does the government claim this authority. We should encourage all those who are standing up peacefully and demanding an accounting from their elected leaders. They should not be able to get away with this. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here because you want to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This has been a fiasco since day one. Once politicians become involved in any crisis situation, the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Total mayhem and disaster. It is a complete mistake. It is also deliberate. This is absolutely unbelievable! They started off using the Chinese model. They're STILL using the Chinese model, and there are Chinese drones chasing down pedestrians in the United States of America screaming orders. Nobody bats an eyelash. What's next welding us into our homes as they did in communist China. The Lockdown was Not simply a mistake, but a well thought out attack on our civil liberties and freedoms. On our economy and on our health. If you want to know who committed the crime, simply ask who benefits the most from it? The answer to that is Bill Gates! The virus will return, and we cannot shut down economies each time it does. We should never have shut down economies this time around. Quarantine could have been done without shutting down the entire economies of states. Such cute sales and marketing from the seditious traitors. Stay home and stay safe while we take over your life and ruin it, destroy the currency and world economy, the world markets, and plot how to implement ID-2020 for the U.N. in order to track your every movement 24 hours a day because we're paranoid, delusional, psychopathic control freaks that serve Satan and the hierarchy. The economy was built to break. Consumer-based economic theory was ill-conceived. When one side of the trade makes trinkets and is a net purchaser of debt (China), and the other side buys the trinkets and issues the debt (USA), there is going to be a feedback loop when either side falters. In this case, both sides got crushed. When China was under quarantine, they lost a huge amount of revenue because they were not producing. Now they must sell their US Treasuries holdings to support their economy. Now that the USA is in quarantine, they don’t have the income to purchase and consume, meaning they need to issue more debt to make up for the lost revenue. Now everyone is selling US Treasuries, either as issuance or on the market. This log jam of debt means the only way to stay liquid is for the Fed to buy. Then this creates the next problem, and that is issuing too much of a currency without production behind it. What makes a currency strong is the faith in production behind it. No one wants the currency of a nation-state that has low GDP, because how is that country going to be successful in paying back debts and ensuring it’s market in the future. This is why the whole world economy is dead. There is no real production. America. Endless food lines, deaths of despair, wages gone, a tiny stipend from the Fed. New World Order planned for years under the right crisis. The globalists are just giving us a taste of what's to come. It was a Huge Fraud as cover for Banksters lootings and new laws to take away freedom and to Track the HUMAN CATTLE. Fear is the political currency of the 21st Century. It is what is traded, and it is used to motivate and control you. Our elected leaders are at war with your emotions, fear is their weapon, and the battleground is your mind. The lockdown was a big mistake. But it was not a random, innocent mistake. The public was deliberately misled, misinformed, and scared into going along with the worst trainwreck ever. There was a conspiracy. The tyrannical 'Lockdown' WAS and IS a huge mistake! Americans have had enough of Big Government, on all levels! Our government is way too dysfunctional to trust with my safety and security, even if I wanted to. Isolating and taking away a person's ability to provide for themselves is what abusers and slavemasters have done throughout human history. Our elected officials took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which is supposed to protect our rights to self-determination, not create dependence on a collapsing government. It was legitimate to prepare our medical capacity for a surge, given all the unknowns at the time, and there wasn't time for due process. That was the emergency, we were told, and was the premise for emergency powers. But as more data and info emerged and we increased capacity, instead of proportionately releasing some restrictions, they tightened up even more. They changed the definition of an emergency. That's where they ran the red light with me, specifically state and local governments, who had already taken it upon themselves to go well beyond the federal government's guidelines. It was a huge fiasco, purposely closing down humanity's small and medium-size businesses martial law style. Small business alone employs 70% of the workers! Reason matters. Especially if it is through a Coronacon Instant collapse whilst removing all our God-given rights and freedoms in a handover to a Police State. All because of the flu. A flu that history will record is not unlike any other flu or plague throughout history. Except unprecedented government actions altered history by instituting draconian actions that resulted in far more damage than the actual disease would if it were to run its natural course. It is also and especially, a coronacon MASK behind which a totalitarian World Dictatorship. Coup d'etat against Humanity by our Sneak Rulers is being attempted right now. Hence the Police State plus fines and imprisonment for those who don't OBEY. How else are they going to continue supporting bankers when they supposedly fixed the problem in 2008. Create an elaborate ruse based on unsubstantiated statistics, mirroring tactics straight out of communist China. What was needed was an airtight alibi to further corrupt the dollar. Covid19 fits the bill. The restrictions too will need to continue, for if they don't, a new excuse will be needed to continue further easing, which will most certainly be the case. Boycott, the banker, promoted commie meme 'social distancing' and Disobey, Revolt, and FIGHT BACK for yours and your children's' and grandchildren's sake. Of course, the treasonous Golden Handcuffed 'intellectuals,' really the eunuchs of the Corona World Order . Usually rewarded with big titles and big grants will not be speaking out against the CORONACON but speaking with forked tongues, like Dr. Fauci who is linked to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hillary Clinton Foundation, Chinese Communist Party, CDC, WHO, Chan-Zuckerberg Global Initiative, etc.) but humanity everywhere has had enough and now is fighting back! Protests against the QUARANTINES are appearing globally, but are being downplayed by the fakestream media. They have not taken responsibility for the misinformation, and they're not going to. They keep moving the goalposts. We have become socialized, nationalized with a fascist twist and massive debt. And just because they say parts of America are "ALLOWED" to go back to work doesn't mean they will because they have managed to paralyze people with fear. The workforce and our country will never be the same. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights have been completely shredded under this Administration. Economic irreparable damage has been done to many. Many small businesses are facing obstacles trying to get those “forgivable loans.” Oil is down. Bad news for the petrodollar. Things are spiraling downward, and a little $1200 check isn’t gonna help. No one in the world wants to buy any more of our toxic assets either, not even China. And if the BRIC ever hits, we’re in HUGE trouble. Our petrodollars are the only thing left propping up our fiat. Big mistake like the Coronavirus is a common thing, and they are exaggerating the numbers by changing the causes of death from other diseases to Covid19. The media and the so-called experts have us believe that the current COVID-19 death toll is certainly an underestimate, arguing many COVID-19 deaths have been misidentified as pneumonia deaths in the absence of positive test results. So doctors cannot attribute the cause of death to COVID-19 if no test results are available? Not necessarily. Here is a direct quote from CDC's guidance for certifying deaths due to COVID-19: Ideally, testing for COVID–19 should be conducted, but it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate without this confirmation if the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty. If doctors are allowed to report COVID-19 on a death certificate without test results, should we not be concerned more about overestimation? Plus, pneumonia is not the only gray area where misidentification of the cause of death can occur. Don’t you think it can’t happen with heart attack deaths? Dr. Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, said if a heart attack patient is pronounced dead and is tested positive for COVID-19. "I would put COVID-19 as the primary cause... Because most likely, the heart attack was caused by the fever or difficulty in breathing." Several problems with this assumption. First, the symptoms of the novel coronavirus are almost identical to the flu. Second, it does not take into account the patient's comorbidity, BMI, and health condition. Third, sars cov-2 is a new virus and most likely was introduced to the patient very recently. In other words, his preexisting cardiovascular conditions have caused far more extensive damage for a much longer period of time than did COVID-19. Don't you see it? This is nothing short of a nationwide conspiracy to inflate the COVID-19 death toll by identifying all deaths with COVID-19 as deaths from COVID-19. People need to realize that the government is not there to benefit the masses! What made this flu ten times worse is that it occurred during an election year after a failed impeachment circus.

👉Negative Oil Prices:The Death of The Petro Dollar and the Birth of A NWO Digital Currency


👉Negative Oil Prices:The Death of The Petro Dollar and the Birth of A NWO Digital Currency





What's coming is modern-day slavery: low pay, high rent, high student loan debt, high food costs, Cash ban, negative interest rates, Universal income,And socialized medicine. Eliminate cash and guns, and it's game over. Cryptos are the next step in this nefarious plan. The mark has finally arrived. Digital dollar, digital wallet, digital identification. All we need now is an asteroid. Welcome to The Matrix, you can get in, but you cannot get out. Congratulation, here is your new world currency. Ya never saw that coming. Government officials & regulators across the board have voiced their support for a digital US Dollar, and recently the US has said they are researching a central bank digital currency CBDC. Blockchain will be weaponized to track every single transaction that anyone makes. It is a million times more Orwellian than cash. Bye-bye to the tether cartel, and welcome to the big brother. With a "digital" currency, they can then just simply ban certain purchases on the spot. Guns and ammo. Yeah, those are deemed bad now. Digital FED Wallet will not allow such a thing. Gold and Silver Bullion? Yeah, that's too against the rules of the new Digital FED Wallet. No such purchase will be allowed. #EndTheFed #Glass-Steagall #Banksters #Blockchain This is what really matters. This is what really is going on. What the entire motive behind all the pandemic hysteria is really about The End Game. The money, people. That is the whole kit and caboodle! Once there is no cash, and all transactions are digital, it won't matter if Crusty the Clown is running Washington DC. It won't matter who you vote for. It won't matter, period. You will do as you are told when you are told, and how you are told. The End Game is not money per se; they can print all the money they want. The End Game is Total Control. This is what's coming. The control element will be complete. When they are done, you will beg them to take the cash and give you digits, just so long as the pain goes away. This has all been planned for many years now. The writing has been on the wall. Reset of paper money to digital. What can be more perfect to start it now! There's the motive for the "pandemic." No wonder they are trying to warn people not to use physical currencies due to fear of spreading the virus. They're setting us up for an all-digital one-world currency. Imagine a run on the bank with digital dollars. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here because you want to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The "deep state boomer OILgarchy lost the petrodollar!!!! The current COVID media-induced panic is the cover up. CORONAVIRUS is a boomer hysteria and has nothing to do with the Wuhan plague but everything to do with the PETRODOLLAR! The reality is that the New York and London stockmarket boomers are stealing the retirement of boomers worldwide while telling them to hide in the basement. The USA LOST the petrodollar. The power to price and control the price of oil and the coronavirus is the coverup for the stock market crash! One currency to rule them all, One currency to price petroleum, One currency to bring the nation-states in and in petrodollar debt bind them. The US & UK petrodollar system collapsed overnight. Petro is dropping like a rock. Oil is in the negative as of the making of this video. Coronavirus economic collapse Main Event 201 moving along perfectly, just as planned. The rest of the markets soon to follow, perhaps between 1 - 2 months from now. This Is The Largest Economic Shock Of Our Lifetimes. This is a wake-up call, the price of everything will drop, except Food and Taxes. The bankrupt major oil companies will cost YOUR pension funds hundreds of Billions. Russia crashing the oil market is part of the pincer attack being orchestrated by Russia and China. There is nowhere to store the oil as all ships and tanks are full, and shale producers cant stop production or the pressure in their well drops so they lose the well. Hence there is nowhere to put the oil, but the producers need to keep pumping. For a producer, it would be better to produce the oil, set fire to it and buy back the hedge contract. Unlike stocks, this is not a paper transaction. People are literally on the hook for physical delivery of 55,000 barrels of oil if they do not get rid of their options. This is the death of the petro dollar and the coming of a currency reset. Going exactly as planned, put people in lockdown while they crash everything ,connect the dots. This virus was the catalyst they had planned . The US Petrodollar which is DEPENDENT on other countries being forced to use US currency to buy oil around the world.Now with the oil becoming backwards and obsolete; The Plan is to replace the petrodollar with the digital Dollar. Central banks want two things. Privatize currency and suppress cash. For more control.Complete control of people's lives. That is what they crave - control. Money in and by itself is not what interests them. They have enough of it and only see it as a tool to control the masses. The same goes for governments, which is why all systems are set up to entrap people using debt. Freedom (both personal and economic) is the enemy of this agenda, so any politician who talks about freedom for people is lying. Most of them stay clear of that and instead use relative terms like 'equality,' 'fairness' etc. knowing full well how people can be equally enslaved. Central bank digital currencies would raise the ability of a central entity to banish individuals or sovereigns from engaging in economic exchange, restricting them to barter. Taxes & transaction fees will slowly move all money back to their side of the table anyway. Theft is the only thing on the menu. The Rich get a Bail Out. The Poor get a Hand Out. The Middle Class gets Left Out. The system has always been taxing the middle class to bribe the underclass to vote for the upper class. The United States Digital Dollar is coming & arriving soon! Digital dollar donations are what's expected, but most likely, these will be digital dollar deductions or the ultimate inflationary dollar due to the tax rollover that will be needed to utilize them. Nothing is for free . Hyperinflation is inevitable—Argentinian style. I'll use my digital dollars to buy some digital real estate and become a virtual slumlord. Those that control the rule-makers make the rules. The problem is that the controllers tend to be biased in their favor. Give me control of a nation's money, and I care not who makes the laws. How about digital currencies that DON'T use banks, removing the command and control of central bank owners. THAT is their worst nightmare. Becoming just another schmuck like the rest of us. We knew all along they wanted to control bitcoin type technology. What better way to track and control the movement of money and the value of our labor! They just let the early adopters and investors take all the risks until the technology was sufficiently proven. What next? Implementing the 'inflation tool' by allowing "the supply of Fedcoins" to expand. Then we can all enjoy the same inflationary 'benefits' that we always have - and eventually a fractional coin system coin-titative easing when that too spins out of control. Precious metals backing? It's never been there with bitcoins, and it won't be there with Fedcoins. And the greatest part is the fact that you need a computer, which means they can take all your money and shut you off anytime, anywhere. Once again, technology has been commandeered for the good of the globalists. The national currency should be issued by the Minister of Finances. It is all about 'bread & circus.' If you can keep the masses calm, then the elites can build and enjoy their parallel world. We are at the great leveling stage where most are being dragged down to the lower common denominator as the elites hoover up the remaining wealth from middle-income groups. What they fail to understand is that without a vibrant middle class, there is no glue to hold society together. That is the point at which they need to be afraid of the pitchforks, especially those being held by well-educated individuals. End the Globalists and their Central Banking System. Then plant Free Enterprise, Honest Money, and barter. There is much to be said for mixing the basics with the sophisticated ... and the wisdom to know the difference. Privately owned Central Banking Corporations creating and controlling our money is a total Insanity. Of course, central banks are going to fight for relevancy, including their member banks, as fintech revolutionizes the planet. But in the end, their schemes will always keep them in control. This is a trend, not a conspiracy theory, that all paper currency will be outlawed and only digital currency will be used. But this won't happen until the technology catches up in order for this to happen. The US isn't completely wired for this yet. But it's getting there. Right now cellphones can be used for digital transactions even, along with debit and credit cards. In order to have complete control over our lives, they need to know what we spend our money on, where we were at the time and at what time. And cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin were a trial run, a pilot program for the digital currency. But, first things first. They need to introduce their New, One World Currency first. Both in digital form and in paper form. And eventually everything will be digital throughout the world, or at least in the developed nations. SLOWLY the Fed turns STEP by STEP incrementalizing crypto widgets to facilitate the Globalist elimination of cash under the fraud of just being there to help those who refuse to use banking. That is a lie and fraud. Once upon a time, there was a vast nation, with millions of citizens that had no currency of its own. Far away, there were 'authorities' who demanded everyone use their issued paper. But they were far away, and everyone ignored them. Instead, everyone used what was convenient, and best ensured mutually verifiable payment of value. When the source dried up, people started making them on their own. The convenient currency: The Spanish Thollar. The nation: The United States. The Dollar was not originally a US currency. What it was, was a reliable store of value and payment. When it became the global reserve currency, the fact that it was reliable was of prime importance. The fact the US issued it, or that any country at all issued it, was totally unimportant. You don't need Dollars, or Libras, or stablecoins, or Treasury issued currency of any kind. You need a convenient store of value and payments. Nothing more. And the more transparent, the better.

👉Wall Street Stole Your Pension -- This is how to Prepare for The Ticking Pensions Time Bomb !!


👉Wall Street Stole Your Pension -- This is how to Prepare for The Ticking Pensions Time Bomb !!





America is facing a retirement crisis, and every day there are more and more victims of this corruption. Depending on your 401K or your pension is a recipe for retirement disaster! You have been promised a retirement, but a promise means nothing. Those who rely on both pensions and their 401K are in for a rude awakening. What they were promised their entire life they will find out was a lie. Pensions are Ponzi schemes. As such, they benefit those who got in early, screw those who got in late and always (eventually) implode. But most people still continue to dump money into their 401K's, if they save anything at all, believing the old financial lie that saving enough for long enough will ensure a strong financial future. That is a lie that not even the earliest cheerleaders of the 401K believe any longer. Wall Street stole your pension. You are paying for their Lamborghinis; you are paying for their tall skyscrapers, you are paying for a scam. Yet you were afraid of being scammed all your life. The 401K was designed by wall street so the poor man could get into the market. They want everyone's money. Every time a generation gets ready to retire, that's when the market crashes; 2001,2008,2020. Pensions being robbed or gambled away, 401K's value decimated by the stock market and fees charged anyway. Global economy stalling out. US government writing checks for the big corporations. Small businesses are closing for fear of the spreading. Our reaction to the virus is what's causing the biggest problem. The Fed will print more fake dollars to cover checks making our money worth even less. Be prepared to get totally screwed over by the governments acting on behalf of big corporations, acting on behalf of the elite. These bastards have been slowly removing our ability to self sustain. Now they have us all by the balls, and its time to squeeze. The Pension system is a Ponzi by definition. This pension program is going to blow up and is going to bring down the biggest crisis, bigger than the COVID crisis, Bigger than the subprime of 2008, and bigger than the student loan program. Simply said: you have been ripped off. The state, city, and federal retirement plans are unsustainable. Calpers will find out real fast. Pensions are a scam. One of the ways that wall street, the US government, and the banking system rob us off is via our pensions. The people running the pension had spent millions (money paid by workers’ retirement savings) for bad advice from so-called experts who ultimately ran the pension into the ground. The people running the pensions were grossly mismanaging the money. There are many mothers and fathers who will find out that they have no pension. The CoronaVirus is a cover for the stealing of pensions,401k, and the stock market. Not only in the US but all over the world, our pensions have been stolen, ripped off. The pensions make $14 trillion shortfalls in the US alone. That's bigger than Bernie Sanders's plan of how to give free medical to everybody. Wall Street always has a solution to any problem. Wall Street's solution to pension underfunding about ten years ago was, let's gamble with your money. So what wall street did was they approached all of these pensions and said, uh, the only way out of this severe underfunding, it's to gamble more. And so they created some of the highest cost, highest risks investments ever devised on wall street; hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds and fund to funds all kinds of, secretive, high risks, high-cost investments, and sold them to the pension funds. Telling them to gamble their way out of insolvency. Well, of course, it didn't work. Gambling is not a solution to underfunding. It resulted in an even greater underfunding. The house always wins. There's not a single pension in this country that has soared in value because of the gambling. The outrageous bet always went badly. There were literally billions put into the pension funds. All that money went straight to wall street through a wealth transfer. Money out of the pension went straight from workers' to the pockets of wall street billionaires. Millions of people's lives are going to get impacted, as 130 corporate pensions go bankrupt in the US. Before 2000, the private pension funds were fully funded with a $250B surplus on top of that. The corporate greed and Wall St sharks figured out ways to destroy those funds and grad for themselves. Then took them over a cliff by investing in fraudulent, crappy securities via hedge funds, etc. The Derivative screwed everyone. Public pensions are next ... Let's take a look at the pensions of elected officials . Flatten out the ones the fat cats are getting and figure it out. This is going to get very, very BAD; worse than BAD! There will be no pensions after this crisis, I'm an opportunist, but the reality of this situation turns me more into a realist. You should create your own 401k or your own retirement income plan. Create your own type of retirement income through real estate, or any other kind of business opportunity. If you have all your eggs in one basket, you need to watch that basket closely. Instead of spending your entire life working for money, you must instead have your money work for you your entire life. Cash-out and close it and take that money and put it into something else. Be your own financial government! Be your own central bank. Invest, don't depend on your pension. Invest in gold, silver, real estate, and some cash for rainy days and a small Farm with veggies and fruits that keep running to feed you and your family. Hedge your bets by making other investments that perhaps you have more control over. You have to diversify your investments. If your pension gets taken away from you in your 50s, you're screwed. Having a pension when you're dead isn't much good. Pension accounts don't need to have a balance if all the pensioners are dead. So what happens when these pensions start collapsing, and they already have. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here because you want to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. A pension system can never work because you are paying people a wage, not to work, which is why welfare can never work as well. Any company paying a pension will implode because of the pension payments. Eventually, the pension payments will grow larger than the profit you can generate from selling your products at a competitive price and paying the current workers to produce and sell them. Also, why a Union company will always fail. The Union will always grow benefits and wages above the level where you can pay those benefits and wages and stay in business. Even after a nearly decade-long stock-market rally, pension funds for government employees across the U.S. have never fully recovered from the 2007 financial meltdown. Governments have increased annual pension contributions by 90% to help make up for it. Most media coverage of the pension crisis focuses on states in the worst condition: California, Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. But the majority of pension funds are heading in the wrong direction, even in states like Colorado and in some Texas cities. The bottom line: an alarming number of states and cities are ill-prepared to withstand the next market downturn. Without reform, the gap between what governments owe retirees and the money that public-pension funds have on hand could grow so large that the whole system could face collapse. Pensions are a Ponzi by definition; maybe having someone put $20k lifetime in a fund that ends up paying them $80k a year for 20-30 years is a problem. It really is funny how people thought that math would work. I get to pay $5000 a year in property taxes so Ms Generic teacher can take home a fat pension check. Anyone who cannot comprehend that the whole concept of pensions as they are known today was always an impossibility and a lie, deserves to fail out of the human species entirely. It was a cheap trick to get enough people to sell themselves deeper into dependence and bondage for the promise of some Free crap in the future, with only vague handwaving about where it was going to come from. For a while, under conditions of an expanding resource base and economy, one can fudge over some of it by stealing more out of a bigger pie tomorrow than you could rake off today. But even in the best of times, the only 'growth rates' that could have supported such systems were outlandishly optimistic, so much so as to be disingenuous and criminal. Now? Nothing else will happen but desperation, indignation, some brutal attempts by the current system to remain in force, and then disintegration and abandonment. According to a study, “California state and local governments owe $1.3 trillion. Another study says it is actually $2.3 trillion, and a recent Hoover Institute stated that there is over $1 trillion in pension liability alone or $76,884 per household. Incredibly, there are 4 million current pension beneficiaries ( overpaid government employees), a number that continues to grow and which exceeds the total population of 22 states. If this is not a complete ripoff of taxpayers by criminal local, city, and state officials, I don’t know what is! WHAT IS WRONG IS THAT THE FED DESTROYED EVERY LADDERED BOND PORTFOLIO IN THE WORLD WITH A DECADE OF Zero Interest Rates. The risk-free rate in 2006 was 5.2% .... the 30 year was at 6.25% ... If you are a Pension Fund manager with a benchmark of 8% return, you get a pretty big head start ... Now, everybody is a trader, not an actuary ... LOOK TO THE FED FOR COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FIASCO. Peter Schiff said it best. "If the government has the power to print money, they have the power to confiscate wealth". If you can counterfeit money and spend it, then you are stealing everything you buy with it. All the money printing WILL make the dollars you have WORTHLESS. The federal government bailed out GM in 2008. Instead of allowing that over-bloated obese monster to go belly up, they had to keep the pension racket going for top leeches. Pensions are like a spare tire, no one thinks about it, till you need it. Most people do not take retirement seriously until its too late. In a couple of years, pensions won't be able to buy food. But Don’t panic. Alan Greenspan tells Paul Ryan the Government can create all the money it wants, and there is no need to save for pensions. What matters is whether the goods and services are there for them to buy with that money. Money comes out of nothing and is just numbers typed in at a keyboard. “We are in a spot of bother, can you central bankers type in a couple of trillion in QE to help us out” the bankers. Money comes out of nothing and is just numbers typed in at a keyboard. Most people, even the so-called educated ones, have amnesia of history. Rome had a retirement pension, in the same exact manner as what is happening today, over 2000 years ago, and look at what happened to Rome. My question is, why would smart people, with PHD's and Master Degrees that are teachers and engineers, who work for the state, actually believe what the government promises them; when in fact there's overwhelming evidence in both the past and the present, to write a whole "biblical account" of how disastrous the government handles and mismanages the money that they actually scam other people out of. You would think that these 'smart workers' with all their education would simply put down the government the way a Veterinarian puts down a dog that can't wag its own tail. But, nope, these folks believe anything the government promises them, without using insight to see how deceived they will be in the very near future. Why don't they simply have their whole paychecks given to them and let them be responsible for their own savings/retirement, and therefore if they don't do the right thing or take responsibility for themselves, then they have no one to blame but themselves. Yet, they would rather have the government scam them. When will we finally understand! They do not want anyone to Retire! They want you to keep working and paying taxes until you die, then they get estate taxes, red tape so that money goes to the states, etc... Just anyway, they can generate income so they can create more criminality and screw us even more. This world is run by criminals and evil people!! And we allowed it. But we’ll never ever do anything about it, why? Because we vote for people who don’t give a crap about us. Believe me, they don’t. Don’t kid yourself that you matter because you don’t. The whole political system is just a joke to keep us divided and distracted. All politicians work for international bankers and big business, not us. They are agents/puppets that get put in positions of power and influence to steal our wealth, land, time, lives, and dreams. It doesn’t matter the party; it’s all the same. Kleptocratic, plutocratic parasites that can do what they do because of the central bank fiat garbage system that We the People support and work for. Time to end the Fed and all central banks.

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.

By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
