COVID: what was the plan all along?

As time goes by covid-19 has proven not to be the hammer or tsunami we feared. It has not taken the large number of lives many experts predicted but it has brought the economy to its knees. It now seems covid-19 is just a deadly bug that will probably with us for some time. Not only has it spread slower than we were told it would but the fatality rate is far lower than many "experts" predicted. Still, this inconsistent beast holds society confused and paralyzed with fear. The article below is an effort to give this subject some context and frame of reference. Over time answers have begun to emerge as to the extent covid-19 will have to impact our lives in coming years, however, the truth is being diluted and held hostage by politics. Because I live in a rather conservative area my views may be a bit skewed when it comes to how other Americans see the government's role in handling the pandemic. Interestingly, it is mainstream media that is largely responsible for banging the drums of fear by speculating the worst is yet to come. Mainstream media appears to be going out of its way to weaponize covid-19 it an effort to demonize Trump and paint his administration as a failure. One theory is that democrats and other big-spending politicians are using all the fear-mongering as a way to push a massive stimulus package through with little resistance. This is a very troubling development for those of us that expect our government to be at least somewhat responsible and to consider how its actions will impact society. Early on I pointed out the "need to know more and collect real information" was crucial to creating a plan that would minimize the damage covid-19 posed. That need still exists. When the virus first appeared, the projection below was written based on the lower edge of what the experts were touting as expected percentages of infection. No wonder people became fearful. We are all like frogs in a pot of water and the water temperature is slowly rising. If predictions are correct, I see a giant catastrophe ahead. In a city of 300 hundred thousand people, let's do some numbers. They est. 40% to 80% of people may get this bug. Of those American health officials say as many as 20% may need to be hospitalized, some for months. Going with a 50% catch rate, roughly 150,000 people will get infected in my area. With only a 10% hospitalization rate it would come to 15,000 We sure don't have the beds in my area to handle such a surge. Note, this is 5% of the population. In this case, It's not just about how many people may die but the fact that simply caring for so many very sick people creates a massive problem! While it is true we should error to the side of caution when dealing with a new pandemic, the problem is that as this unfolded, not only can we not trust the numbers because of fraud and inconsistent testing from one area to another but when important facts or a shred of truth does emerge it is rapidly mucked up when dropped into this data. Adding to the confusion and fear-mongering flowing from the mainstream media is the fact frustrated Americans confronted with a resurgence of the scourge are facing long lines at testing sites in the summer heat or are getting turned away. Some people are having to wait before receiving a diagnosis. Not only are some test sites running out of kits, but labs are also reporting shortages of materials and workers to process the swabs.

👉Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA! These are Tough Times , but The Worst is Still to Come.

Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA! These are Tough Times , but The Worst is Still to Come. How about we celebrate being Americans? Not whatever color or ethnicity you are, but just as Americans? Are we a perfect country? No, most assuredly not. Are we more than we were when we started? Yes, most assuredly, we are. Can we do more as the days, weeks, and years go on? Absolutely. But until we take a step in that direction, we can't change anything by going back or standing still. Let's work together to find solutions that work for Americans and strive to be a better person and, therefore, nation than we were yesterday. It starts with me. It starts with you. I'm celebrating an independent country that rewards hard-working, talented people with great ideas and the ability to lead. Freedom of speech is about the only and most important thing that made this country different and put it over the others. Now that is a privilege that has been taken away by the left and the media. The Greatest thing about America is that Americans can complain and criticize the things that aren't so great. Facing our faults is how people become better. It's how companies become better. And it's how Countries become better. Beware of politicians that try to discourage you. It is NOT unpatriotic to address our faults. And don't knock other countries, to prop our country. We shouldn't need that. This country was built on hard work ethics and the vision of our forefathers. Unfortunately, a select number is trying to find ways to break it down and discredit the men and women that sacrificed to build it. With the establishment of the foreign-owned private central bank in 1913, the control of the country passed from "we the people" to "they the international bankers" How tragic!! We have forgotten the words of Jefferson, that if we allowed bankers to run the country, 'Americans' would one day wake up to find that the land conquered by their forefathers was no longer theirs.' And that day is here. In the US today, the top 0.1% in wealth is about equal to the bottom 90% combined. In 1930, the 0.1% in wealth was wealthier than they are today. In 1980, the wealth gap between rich and poor was the smallest. The only times in US history when interest rates were near zero was 1930 and today. The US stock market from its high in 1929 to 1956 had no gain. From 1930 to 1934, gold nearly tripled in value. 1932 was the stock market bottom. From the 1932 bottom to 1936, stocks went up 316%. What banks did in 1932 was very similar to what banks are doing now. They introduced new money, which created long term debt. This period seems similar to 1930. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report.

Thank You. The United States is practically an empire. And by being an empire, the rules that applied to previous empires apply to the United States. And the mistakes that lead to the fall of empires somewhat applied to the United States. It is interesting that the problems the United States had were very similar to that of previous empires. Economic mismanagement and associated currency debasement preceded the inevitable failure of empires. The Golden Age of American capitalism is over. In the space of half a century, it passed from gold to silver, to paper, and is now somewhere between plastic and navel lint. You might believe the economic statistics and the usual misinformation in the financial media. This will set you straight. US debt is now $27T, and its growth continues . If you aren't skeptical of your government, your trust will eventually give way to a sense of betrayal. In the last half of 2008, the Empire received the margin call from Hell. Now, all of its citizens are asked to pay up as the U.S. economy stumbles down a dangerous path of financial turmoil. What exactly went wrong? When things are good, people tend to believe the most outrageous things.That the financial sector could get rich by lending money to people who couldn't pay it back, and that a whole economy could flourish by luring consumers to spend more than they could afford. These hallucinations created an immense worldwide bubble of debt and dollars. And now--with the U.S. government inflating the biggest bubble in public debt the world has ever seen.A financial whirlpool has formed and threatens to drag the entire country down the drain. Debt only works if it generates an income to repay principal and interest. There is no bit of evidence that indicates an indebtedness problem can be solved by taking on further debt. The low hanging economic fruit has nearly been picked, and the deadly reality of the shutdown will hit markets hard with another Christmas-2018 selloff to remember once we hit a wall at 8% Unemployment ,and the Fed out of bullets. In the next 18 months, there is ‘good potential for the economy’ to shut down completely. The market have become too big for its own good. The US market cap 38 Trillion. Nearly 180% of US GDP, 50% Of world GDP. Not sustainable. Debt increased massive 25% world GDP In the past few months. This needs to be paid back. Global debt stands at 300 plus trillion, 380%. Flu season is coming in 3-4 months. -- FEDS printing machine is slowing down. But they worry mainly about the bond markets. They can take the pain of a 30-40% drop in the stock market due to valuations. Political risk, Biden may win now. June Job numbers improved but underlying shows a far worse picture. Permanent layoffs are surging,2.9 Millions in June. Temporary summer workers increased this is normal for summer, and PPE got people back into jobs, but those jobs will be lost again in a month or 2. It will take years for companies to fix the balance sheets. We are in a massive mega-cap bubble.Trillions will get wiped out of paper assets. Actually, "the virus" is a Psy-Op designed, in part, to provide cover for an economy that was collapsing anyway and allow Trillions more in "Bail-outs" to be given to the usual suspects without too many "awkward" questions being asked. The large positive data points being reported to reflect a bounce off the bottom and that the economy is opening again. Nothing more. This will remain the case for another month, or so then the reality that there will be no V-shaped recovery will sink in, Then the fun begins. The market is completely disconnected from reality. It's connected to low-interest rates and mindblowing debt. The stock market looks like a big Casino. In the rigged casino, you have to be nuts to invest. Everything is on sentiment. It looks like a big pinball machine that is preprogrammed to win. The fundamentals are not in line with the increase in the stock market. The Federal Reserve is playing a game with the financial market. The FED is being controlled by rich and powerful people . Creating money with no underlying asset to back all the money creation. The bogus news is that so many million jobs were created. The news should be that so many people returned to their jobs. The fact is that they were on lay off due to the lockdown resulting from the COVID 19 virus. There is no real job creation. The market is being managed by big money manages who are day trading. The Fed saved the economy, but in reality, they just kicked the can down the road and continued contributing to a broken financial system. Maybe they should have just let the system collapse and let the market enter a natural depression. The Fed did not save the world as Ben Bernanke proclaimed. That is because the laws of math are bigger than the FED. Instead, the Fed fostered a series of asset bubble boom-bust cycles with increasing amplitude over time. The problem is that increasing amplitude to the upside results in increasing amplitude to the downside. Its a feedback loop. Driving asset prices higher requires lower rates and more money. The higher it gets, the harder it is to maintain asset value without deflating currency value. But, as the demand shrinks, the FED has to set a put on asset values, or else the true market value collapses, and all debt starts to deflate. Here we are, folks! Plus, the virtuous cycle of inflated asset value to cover your debt runs backward too. The Federal Reserve of The United States of America is neither Federal nor a reserve of anything aside from evil and tyranny and is the single most destructive entity in the history of the nation. It is anathema to humanity, God, and America. It is the polar opposite of The Constitution, it was warned about in the Constitution, and it is the reason why many have perished for trying to remove it. America and many other nations will be truly healthy and free until central banking and central bankers are permanently removed. The FED is the monster lurking in the shadows, the hidden Machiavellian manipulator and puppet master of the world’s markets. Pretending to be a benefactor, it is, in reality, a bloodthirsty parasitic vampire, draining the blood of its victims, discarding their eviscerated corpses, ever seeking new flesh. It remains defiant and hostile to any attempts at auditing or accountability. It’s trademarked: financial sleight-of-hand, fiat money, arcane accounting, and bogus bookkeeping. So, what can the average person do to fight this beast? Use common sense, reign in any unnecessary spending, pay down or-if possible-pay off your debts. Set a budget and stick to it. In other words, you need to do pretty much the complete opposite of what the government does. The problem isn’t so much fractional banking, fiat money, or going off the gold standard. The real problem is corrupt politicians. Politicians who promise way too much and who know well in advance they can’t deliver. To summarize: Most likely - negative interest rates and more debt are coming to America. And when the economy gets tough, a nation usually chooses WAR. Instead of trade and work, imperialism breeds militarism, inflation, and debt. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Leave me a comment. Subscribe.

👉The Fed's Final Solution Buying Corporate Junk Bonds !!

👉The Fed's Final Solution Buying Corporate Junk Bonds !!

The Federal Reserve announced it would begin purchasing individual corporate bonds as part of its emergency lending program to inject liquidity into the virus-stricken economy. And the stock market shot up on these news. Free market? What free market! The Fed basically promised to backstop every shitty credit company in America and zombify the US economy. The market is like a drug addict waiting for its next fix of stimulus, tax cut, or rate cut: private profits, and social losses. The FED has announced they will buy any stock that is down until it is well, not down. Thank you for your understanding. The FED believes All Accounts Matter (AAM) and nobody will be allowed to lose on the long side regardless of intellect or lack of effort. So a zombie corporation with flat or declining revenues can now sell its worthless bonds to the Fed, take the freshly created funny money and use it to back shares of its own stock, thus driving up the price. Of course, we all know the Fed isn't involved in goosing to the stock market. The government is buying corporate bonds with our tax money. Let that sink in a minute. The Fed, which according to Goldman Sachs and Citigroup leaks, has said it will do anything to keep the financial markets whole (even as real people suffer) is doing just that. They're buying bad debt from banks and Wall Street. Is anyone buying your debt as you figure out what to do during the pandemic. This is an oligarchy in plain view. Vote out their minions. The FED is bailing out CEOs and insiders. Fifty billion in direct corporate bond purchasing along with purchasing corporate bond ETF's. The Fed reserve is the only buyer of treasury bonds for the first time in history. And now we have unlimited Q.E. This is what happened in Japan in 1989. The Nikkei stock market has had a slow bleed for 30 years, and cut in half from hit's high in October 1989 It actually never recovered from its high in 1989. EVER!!! We're destined to repeat that mistake (no, humans do NOT learn from history). Many will lose their money and never get it back. I'm on the sidelines. I don't care if it takes a couple of years to crash, but make no mistake; we're clearly headed there. Of course, the Fed is the only one buying bonds. Who else would lay down billions in this environment, with all this risk, for 2-3%? Let me see if I have this right: 1. Instead of a direct taxpayer handout, the fed will buy any corporate junk bonds to keep them afloat just so long as it helps prop the stock market up. 2. The fed doesn’t set a “target” for the stock market but won’t let it find true value and also won’t let it rise too uncontrollably. 3. We’re supposed to believe this is still a free market. It is not surprising that markets will go up every day while the Fed buys up every debt. Accountability for companies is no more. I always wondered how the markets are up this much when last year we didn't have 40 million out of work and the Feds borrowing and printing daily! Yet markets go up every day with promises, lies, and no fundamentals. What happens when it starts heading down? It would be like an abandoned ship just sailing alone. It is going to be fun watching them jump ship when the bow turns downward. The Fed Shouldn't buy corporate bands at all. The Fed doesn't have any money; they are using money from the treasury. They're essentially stealing money from our children to prop up their broken system in the present and ensure those already wealthy remain so. This is going to end bad. Real bad! The system is allowing a company that filed for Chap 11 to issue new shares. That's how corrupt things are right now. Where is the oversight? This isn't part of the Fed's mandate! We're robbing the future generations to backstop the elite. It's criminal. What Fed is doing pumping stock market will result in Costco Toilet Paper more expensive than the US Dollar paper. The Fed is now like the crack the market can’t live without. Looks like the market won’t test the lows and continue to fly higher. It’s very plain and simple, no stimulus big drops while the main street begs for money, Wall Street is burping from taxpayers' money. It is ok for social security to collapse cheating Americans out of money they have paid in their whole life. But we have an endless supply of taxpayers money to buy corporate bonds. Just wait till they convert debt to equity. And the Government owns airlines, oil, manufacturing, retail dept stores, Atlas Shrugged. At the end of the day, the FED owns everything, and we have nothing left but the stock market. The FREE non-government controlled Stock Market. Or is this the Zimbabwe Stockmarket! Pump it up, Powell. The 1%'ers must remain happy. This is state-sponsored communism of capitalism. There are no free markets anymore, meaning it is not market but a forced bubble upwards by the Fed via Blackrock. It will end so badly for the US. The Costco Toilet Paper will be more expensive than the US Dollar paper. And there you go. This morning before anything opened, the DOW was down over 600 to 700 points due to... whatever you want to put in there. The FED steps up, pushes a button, imaginary money is 'printed,' and the markets are saved; again. SCAM. I wouldn't put a penny in there. Be careful, folks. This fake stock market is being held afloat by the fed pumping trillions of dollars and keeping interest rates at almost zero. This market is going to crash, and millions will lose their shirts. Only the insiders (aka congress) and big boyz will be safe. When the market crashes, you want a good back up plan—food and water for a start. The FED (our) money is the money used to make more money for the wealthy 1%..it is used to save the market from crushing and to win the elections. In the end, we will have bankrupt companies with record market values, low-value US Dollar, and the wealthy 1% even wealthier. The Fed is ruling peoples lives with their important interest rate decisions and money printing, yet still, people know so little about who they are, how they became so powerful, which banks own them, who are the majority owners of those banks, why the congress authorized them to print money in the past, which US presidents objected them, why no US institution could audit them except the congress but never done it! And the media don't help the people with these questions! Some claim it’s because the Fed owners own most of the media! There used to be 500 independent news companies in the 70s in the US, now there are only five big, which own everything. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The FED knew the market was about to absolutely meltdown again this week, so MORE PRINTING! One trick pony. A great economy would rebound strongly. It would just resume where it left off; it wouldn't need trillions of dollars to prop it up. It would be nice if the Fed could stay out of the market for more than one day. The Fed's bond-buying program looks good on the surface. However, this is why QE can create zombie companies. How do we know if those companies are the virus-stricken companies or the mismanagement-stricken companies way before the outbreak of the virus? I think the Fed should screen out irresponsible mismanaged companies. Let them go bankrupt. The Fed had better inject cash into other urgent places. If the Fed pours money into such zombie companies, we had better make all US companies state-run. As the Fed prints more money, it goes into assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. Those with capital get richer. Working-class people who depend on their labor and not on capital get poorer. Donald’s elite economy is not the economy of the middle-class American worker. This rewards speculators and destroys savers. We are all being forced to be rampant speculators, rather than prudent savers. Can this really end well? Like a hot potato that gets hotter with time, someone is going to get stuck holding it, and it is not going to be a pleasant ending for anyone, nor end well for the last in line. So retail sales were down a record of 17% in April, but the phony market was rallying huge because the crooked FED was buying ETFs tied to the S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq. What a CON GAME this is. So much for a free market economy. At least they're telling us they're doing it. I wonder how it is fair for a company that worked to preserve its capital, but now it doesn't get government help and the companies that were run poorly do? Yeah, it makes great sense. Just pay unemployment and let the chips fall how they do. That's the free market for you. Can't begin to imagine how much insiders are going to capitalize on this when they are tipped off on which stocks the fed is about to purchase. Anyone with half a brain knows it's already happening with the ETFs. I never want to hear again that we are a free-market economy, and the U.S. is not a socialist society. The market is moved by the Fed, not by the performance of the companies, and insider from the Fed makes all the money, this is totally illegal. I wonder how it's fair that the taxpayer has no say in which companies are helped and how much they are helped. It's the taxpayer's money! If ANYONE doubted for one minute that the central banks (which include the Fed) aren't in this together, this should help clarify the situation. The 1% all over the world are having an incredible weenie roast, and the rest of us are the weenies. I wonder if the Fed has taken into account the possibility of massive losses due to bankruptcy. The Fed can pump a year's worth of money into the system. Debt will NEVER replace sales. US companies will just go deeper and deeper into debt, as long as the Fed keeps the money flowing. Can't imagine how this is going to weigh on earnings for the next five years, if not longer. Surprised we didn't go to negative rates, like the Japanese. That didn't work either. The market will figure itself out on its own given the chance. Once intervention occurs, it gets worse and worse because there's no more mother of invention to bring on to create new jobs to replace the old ones the government is trying to protect. Federal "Reserve" bank creates reserves in the banking system - basically the authorization to lend money. This is essentially an increase in the money supply, and there is no theoretical limit to the amount they can create, but it is inflationary - more money into the same GDP implies it costs more for the same stuff. This flows through as either a systemically higher P/E ratio, if growth offsets the capital creation, or it's inflationary. Arguably, buying bonds removes them from the money supply pool, so it should be neutral, simply a shifting of capital infection from banks to brokers (not that they are terribly isolated/separate). Either way, it probably means a challenging market path to traverse. Hard to imagine this could be precisely managed. So much for the free market. I Can understand government intervention to stabilize markets suffering from some type of temporary anomaly. But I haven't heard of any currently associated with bond ETFs. There is no reason for the Fed to buy corporate bonds. This is just about keeping the market up. Let the market fall to where it should be, which is closer to the March lows than current levels. Will markets ever be able to wean off of government intervention? I am sick of hearing, "keeping the market up." I think They are doing A LOT MORE than just keeping it up; It's at All-time Highs area. This is Ridiculous! I keep hearing Powell say Feds are doing what they are doing to support markets so they can function. Why no reporter questions him on this and asks how they used to function BEFORE? There are instances in the past when markets corrected 20% or so. If it was a regular business cycle, then why is it different now? Is it that now the top 0.1% are holding the stocks and back then it was the middle class holding stocks. It is surely not because they want to protect jobs as nothing they have done so far has stopped job losses. Unfortunately, the Fed caves into the barking of the White House. Trump wants a rocket ship, and he will get what he wants. Then it will bomb. The Fed is doing more meddling in elections than the Russians could ever dream of. Seems to me that government intervention is like mixing two substances in a centrifuge. Once the government is in the mix, it will be tough to separate it from these ETFs Remember friends; corporations are people too! Taxpayers owe a big debt of gratitude to AT&T for the GOLDEN PARACHUTE for their retiring CEO. He certainly deserves a life pension of $247k/month. Something people fail to understand is that corporate bankruptcy rarely leads to lost jobs. We are literally using taxpayer $ to prop up high-risk investments and provide golden parachutes for the CEOs. The side effect is that we have a bunch of day traders handing out advice like they are Warren Buffet while the man himself sits on a stockpile of cash. How long until the US is in Japan's situation where Bank of Japan owns 85% or more of ETFs on their exchange? Look at the Nikkei chart in 1989; it was at 39K, it crashed 75% and then never recovered even now at 22K, because the Bank of Japan was doing what Fed is doing now; pumping the stock market. Japan went into zombie depression. The same will happen in the US. Americans will hate the Fed and the Government. The Fed will be abolished. People will be so poor. More bailing out the rich at the expense of the middle and lower classes. Everything our corrupt government does now is a bail-out to the rich. This is called maintaining the status quo. The government's job is to maintain the wealth of existing wealthy people at the cost of the middle class. Vote ALL the bums out. Democrats and Republicans alike. Find a 3rd party candidate and SEND A MESSAGE. The Government helping private companies; isn't that called SOCIALISM? This is Socialism at its finest! The Fed is state-sponsored communism of capitalism. The US economy is now a centrally managed bureaucracy. The FOMC is unconstitutional and needs to be abolished. The real United States exists in the majority of the lower and middle class. And right now, the majority are hurting. Great swathes of Americans are struggling, with any dream of prosperity a far off fantasy. And in the meantime, the people who need the LEAST amount of help; the powerful elite who will never worry about having a roof over their head, or where their next meal will come from, are being further enriched on the backs of every American who does have to worry. The word I have in mind is evil. This is pure, unadulterated evil playing out in front of us. I don't CARE where the money is coming from. Trillions upon trillions of support are being fired at the stock market to prop it up to give the illusion of a strong economy. Imagine if a PORTION of that were funneled into healthcare, education, poverty. This is evil. And those lucky enough to participate in this Fed-fueled rally are too blinded by greed to see or care. It's time to wake up and ask when did this country morph into something so grotesque? When did the free market die, and why did we let it happen? Why are we celebrating an elite few siphoning up all the wealth? In the coming years, the rally cry won't be against systemic racism. It will be against the concentration of money and power into the hands of the few. That is where the real battle lies. Now, if only the stock market was related to the average citizen. Unfortunately, this strong market is an indication of a lower standard of living for most citizens. Inflation is apparent to anyone who does their own shopping. A dollar doesn’t go as far, and most of us still aren’t getting raises equal to inflation. Eventually, they have to stop printing money, and putting it on the taxpayers, coupled with inflation or Wallstreet, will be a boom while the rest of us can’t pay the bills.

👉 The Stock Market due for a Crash , Facebook releases Libra , The Fed behind the Robinhood App !!

There are no investors in the stock market; there are only gamblers. The only reason you buy a stock is because you think the price will go up, and the only reason somebody is willing to sell you that stock is because they believe the price will go down. One of you will be wrong, but by the time you figure out who is right and who is wrong, one of you will have cash in your checking account, and the other will have a piece of paper called a stock certificate. Apparently, every generation has to learn the hard way about stock market bubbles, and now it's Generation Z's turn while they're stuck in lockdown with their Robinhood app. But, this stock bubble is exceptionally obscene when the real unemployment rate is over 20%. Always arriving but somehow, never getting there. It is a sucker's market, folks. It is rife with amateurs buying bankrupt companies, companies heavily in debt - all in the middle of a Recession (more like a depression), under the belief, that you buy low and ride the crest to the top with this supposed, "V" recovery coming! Meanwhile, the seasoned investor is out there, knowing fully, that all hell is going to break loose and it is going to be an "S" recovery, with a highly "juiced" (by the Fed) S&P to give the appearance, that a recovery is in full swing. Run the other way, or you WILL LOSE your shirt! The Federal Reserve is what really propping up the markets. They went on a buying spree to purchase billions in corporate bonds to save corporate America, mostly through ETF's. In fact, Blackrock, Inc. recently came under scrutiny for its cozy relationship with the Federal Reserve, who has bought more stocks through them than any other asset management firm of its type. Now they started buying corporate bonds through ETFs.This will most likely turn like Japan, where the Fed is buying stocks. Stimulus money always ends up in the market. Corporations are buying their own stocks with the free money. The FED just injected 5 trillion and bought every failing asset in the US. The Fed can basically do whatever it wants with no consequence to the Fed. The consequences will fall on the rest of us. What else is new? Nepotism. The US taxpayers will be responsible for paying the trillions in additional debt. Why has the stock market soared? Because originally, the Fed has supplied cash to bolster the economy. However, stray cash is going into the stock market. Also, human beings' greed has been overriding all kinds of concerns about the dismal economy. Greed has created rampant speculation. Therefore, all gloomy economic indicators are meaningless to people. Actually, they have intentionally turned away from the gloomy data, seeing what they want to see. This is why the stock market has been skyrocketing, even without the recovery in the economy. The oversupplied cash and greed have separated the stock market from the economy. The Fed's prime directive is to maintain inflated high stock market prices to continue the Trickle Down Economics, while publicly denouncing the trickle-down concept. I look at buys on these companies. No way individual investors can buy 100000 shares of these stocks. The money involved has to be from institutions. How anyone can't see that is beyond me. Fed working low volume at night bidding against themselves. Your tax dollars at work. People have figured out the pattern buy at closing sell in the morning. Just to be clear, we are still in a bear market. We just had the bear market rally. Implied P/E on DOW is almost 25. We have a long way down to go. Everyone knows the market can't go up another 10% this summer, the Fed stimulus is factored in, and so this will all die off, and we'll start seeing the more typical market actions with the occasional pop and drop on some news. The stock market is amoral and has no care for anything except profit. I just cannot see how this is sustainable when it’s fuelled by a Ponzi scheme. If the market keeps going up, then I would bail out in October before the election. It just feels like something is going to pop a relief valve this year. It looks like it is finally time to short the market. Robinhood is probably none other than The Fed and their magic money printing machine. A clear sign we are on the verge of The Great Reset. Bizarro Robinhood App is rigged to steal from the poor and give to the rich through stealing their trade data and selling to Wall Street to further manipulate on their Not Level Playing Field. These commission-free trade apps are designed to steal from the poor and give to the rich by selling their data to Wall Street. How do we know the Fed hasn't figured out a way to open a million individual trading accounts with Robinhood? Buying stocks directly now, are we?... The Robinhood meme is being used to generate FOMO. Don't be fooled by the propaganda. It's a honey trap. When the elite let you into their rigged game, it´s because they need suckers before the plug off. All these retail gamblers will end up squeezed. This is what happens 90% of the time to gamblers: tiny win, win, win, big win, huge loss. GAME OVER. Thanks for playing. The Fed is propping 401K and retail. This time the suckers are winning. As of June 10, the S&P 500 was up nearly 1,000 points since its low in late March. There's a lot of economic uncertainty abounding these days. The US market had soared about 30 percent since the trough, driven in part by record amounts of the central bank and government stimulus, leading to worries the rally had become too detached from economic reality. In the face of a breathtaking disconnect between Main Street and Wall Street, largely based on overconfidence in free money, my sense is that there remains a crisis ahead that will emerge ‘gradually and then suddenly. Things go up until they don’t. I’m more bearish than ever right now. So if the momentum changes, there will be nothing to support these overpriced stocks. In other words, get out before the rest. Never try to call the top or the bottom. We are much closer to a top than a bottom, so the greatest risk is to the downside. They NEED MORE TAXPAYERS MONEY TO BURN IN SPECULATION AND SHORT SALES. THE HELP GIVEN RECENTLY ALREADY went up in SMOKE! We are in a recession already. Forty-two million filing for unemployment- bailouts for everyone. Five trillion deficit and plenty of failing businesses. The V-shaped recovery is no longer likely. I think reality will sink in around the end of the 3rd quarter when the extra unemployment benefits run dry, and unemployment is still high. I think real estate is in for a big shock between now and year-end. Logic has left the market when people think Hertz is still a buy. Fabulous and permanent losses coming for inflated B.S.market. It is going to be catastrophic for we the people, as every 401K in the country is tied to these stocks. Not to mention the Pension Funds in general. EVERYTHING in this market is RIGGED FOR THE RICH!!!!! WAKE UP AND LOOK!!! THIS IS NOT A FAIR MARKET IT IS RIGGED FOR THE RICH!!!! AND STUPID PEOPLE SUPPORT IT! If you hold any of the stocks, you better sell them fast. I would stay clear of this market. They will steal your money. It is all digital. They see you, worse than a casino. You are not in the Illuminati insider trader mafia; they will steal your money. Charts change direction as soon as a pigeon (non-mafia person) “invests” with the market scam. IOW, all of the 'algos, quants, BTD, data analysis, charts and graphs, ad nauseum' were horse manure. Only really long involved and huge money players like Warren Buffet and Carl Icahn and their ilk who occupied the rarefied atmosphere of finance ever made any real money. And that was because of their longevity, their access to insider information, and their reputations as 'financial geniuses' and finance-world A-listers. Kinda like how Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg are Hollywood A-listers, whose longevity, records of success, reputations, power, etc. give them access to the money and resources for movie-making that some bit-part actor could never achieve. IOW, the whole finance game has for many years (since the cabal gained total control over Wall Street and our government) been a rigged casino game in which only the A-lister power-players win. And the rabble retail investors in fly-over country lose. The 'data analysis, algos' and all that other horse manure were just bright shiny objects to make the rabble think that the game was clean and not rigged and that they had a chance in the investment game. I have one tulip-bulb that I will sell for two riverside town-houses!! Everyone seems to have bought into this "Fed will save everything" and "it will be a repeat of 2008" mindset. The issues I have with that are, in 2008, the Fed stuffed money down the throats of big business and fattened up already fat accounts so that their books looked good. Once the crises were deemed over, those corporations used that money for buybacks and various other schemes to boost the stock and enrich the upper management. Today the environment is much different. Instead of fattening up accounts, the Fed money is being used to keep corporations solvent, and much of it is being rapidly spent. Corporations are taking in massive amounts of debt to add to the already massive amounts they racked up with their self-enrichment schemes. All this debt will weigh heavily on earnings well into the future. Bottom line is, if "Investors" are "betting the house" on a Fed fueled explosion after this is over, they may be disappointed, as the money to do that has already been spent... People say that the market is a forward-looking indicator and always rallies six months before an actual turn in the economy. The truth is that it is almost perpetually in rally mode, and like a broken clock ( hit and hope), it eventually gets it right. We may still find ourselves testing the bottom. The main driver of stock prices is supposed to be earnings and revenue. This year's earnings for most companies will have a significant decline. Many company's earnings in 2021 will be lower than their earnings were in 2019. In the near future, the big players will reverse and start shorting the market and push stock prices down. Spikes in every state reopened, and we have yet to see the effect of the mass protests. Earnings are the core driver of stocks over the long run, so this short-run speculative bubble that has been created will soon pop. Hopefully, you did what a lot of people did on Friday and take some profits and put some cash on the sidelines. I wouldn't want to be a margin trader in this market, and no, just because you defy all logic and your stock still goes up, that doesn't mean you're good at picking stocks. That just means other gamblers are playing the same losing bet. No bear market. No bull market. This is a kangaroo market. Pullbacks and rotation by those faceless criminals! Where is SEC now? The only way to stop robbing pullbacks is to investigate and arrest those criminals (the worst kind - those big trade firms) behind selloffs and meetups. So-called market is the kind of Ponzi scheme, as old and dirty as, if not more than prostitution. Our whole market is smoke and mirrors. Stocks of bankrupt companies going bananas despite companies being broke. USA service economy, will not give real jobs to real people. Businesses aren't paying their rents; landlords aren't paying their mortgages. Fed is propping up the banking system while forcing everyone to pay their debt. Forbearances are coming to an end soon. Let the banks fall and restructure them later. We need a debt jubilee. We are running out of options. Rebuild the middle class and give them some wealth by letting them stay in their homes. This is the reckoning of over 30 years of stagnant wage growth, stagnant purchasing power, the destruction and outsourcing of good-paying jobs, industrial de-investment in the U.S., debt pyramiding, market manipulation, central bank planning, speculative stock investing, the ability to borrow money on the cheap, massive wealth consolidation in the form of inflated stock and asset prices..... All leaving our economy in a fragile state and the average worker most vulnerable to the pain of a collapsing economy. The world's wealthiest and most powerful country (we keep telling ourselves that) couldn't figure out a way to keep 40 million people employed. What an embarrassment. Aside from that, If you want to ride the madness and make a buck out of it. Facebooks Libra coin just got released 1 hour ago! You should get some fast because they have a sale at the moment, but it could be over soon because everyone is buying in. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Where would the market be if companies' policies not dictated by stock price, no stock buybacks could be done, and QE was not 6-10 trillion dollars, and some type of common accounting practices were actually used. I want to say the market would be around SPY: 40-60. I think its like 300 now. Got as high as 330. Just kept going up and up and up. No chance to ever get in. Because when it does go down two seconds later, they come with the firehoses and dump a shitload more money on it. You have like 2 minutes to make a buy before its right back to where it was. No thanks! Rigged Casino, with algos, front running bid and ask. How can it even be called a market? It doesn't even resemble one. It is just some tainted fake ATM that just spews out fake cash nonstop. The heart of the problem lies back in the '70s when the Fed, along with Republican and Democratic senators pushed bank "reform," which just repealed major acts that regulated the banking industry, monopoly laws, etc. Along with this came the removal of the gold standard in 71, which then started the printing frenzy, and the stock market exploded (alongside gold, unlike now). The QE/Stock buybacks/TARP is just what happens when the tide rises, and the rats start to flee the ship. It is essentially the beginning of the end of the US dollar as a global hegemonic currency. If you got rid of the buybacks, QE, etc. you would just prolong the inevitable by a few decades, but the rot is still there. The FED still has complete control, still unelected, still deciding how much money to pillage from future generations to keep the system solvent. The algos and High-Frequency Trading are just one way the large institutions can further steal down the chain. The Fed steals and sends the money to the banks. The corporations steal by getting credit with little interest, pumping corporate paychecks, and paying 0 taxes. The algos steal even more blatantly by getting essentially premier access to the stock market. If you think Forbes 100 is correct, think again. I'm 100% certain there are individuals walking in the US today whose net worth eclipse Bezos and Gates, yet no one knows about them. Think about being in control of where $5 TRILLION goes to. How easy it would be to send just 1% of that money through various entities to a private bank account in the Bahamas. COVID 19 is about engineered economic collapse meant to accelerate bringing in the new monetary system. The new system is not currency; it is a credit system that will give the elite even greater control. The goal is control, whereby humanity is transitioned from freedom to slavery. If you know anything about the present financial system, you know that is already the case; however, the new system will be many many times worse. By cooperating with the COVID narrative, we are accepting a slave system that the vast majority cannot even comprehend at this point. The next President will be blamed for our out of control debt, the high unemployment, etc. If I were Biden, I think I would say no thanks for the opportunity, but I'll pass! Let Trump deal with the mess that he has created! Many have fought the Fed; few are still alive to talk about it. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe. Leave me a comment.

👉Sovereign Debt, Matters : We are in a Fat Ugly Monster Bubble !!

2020-06-13T13:54:00.004-07:00

👉Sovereign Debt, Matters : We are in a Fat Ugly Monster Bubble !!

Total U.S. debt reaches $55.9 trillion amid significant increases in corporate and government borrowing. Total domestic nonfinancial debt jumped by 11.7% to $55.9 trillion, the Fed said in its quarterly statement on domestic financial accounts. The debt had increased by 3.2% in Q4 of 2019. The biggest debt gain comes on the business side, rising 18.8%, while federal government debt also jumped 14.3%. Total federal debt recently passed $26 trillion. We have raised 96% of that debt ($24.5 TRILLION debt) since 1981 or less than 39 years ago. It took the US over two centuries to accumulate its first trillion dollars in federal debt, a number which was surpassed for the first time in the fourth quarter of 1981. What is stunning, however, is the recent pace of increase: total debt was "only" $23.5 trillion on March 23, the day the Fed unleashed unlimited QE, meaning that in two and a half months, the US has added $2.5 trillion in debt. And the punchline: the US added the last trillion dollars in the shortest time on record, achieving this remarkable feat in just one month, since May 4, when the total debt was just under $25 trillion. We added an extra trillion in just last month. That means the debt will double by 2022. Imagine if the average middle-class American planned on doubling his debt by 2022. What could be bought with money totally another mortgage balance, student loan balance, car loan balance, and credit card balance. We're talking $500,000 or more plus salary, to spend in just two years! The COVID effects are starting to snowball down a hill. Wait until the forbearance period runs out, and housing gets sucked in. The roller coaster is just getting started. Fiat bugs and mutants who say debt doesn't matter are going to find out the hard way that debt does indeed matter. The new slogan, sovereign debt, matters! We are 26 Trillion dollars in debt. The government has agreed on a stimulus of 5.5 Trillion dollars and another 3 Trillion dollars next (8.5 Trillion dollars so far). This basically means that our national debt is going to be in 30 Trillion dollars range. Household debt rose 3.9% due in large part to an increase on the mortgage side of 3.2%. Consumer debt rose 1.6%. Only Private-Citizens with Student Loans get NO BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION. I give it a couple of months when the credit cards of the people who are already maxed out stop working, and there's no new income to pay off the minimum. Meanwhile, food will be more expensive, and EBT benefits will not rise in tandem. From 2016-2020 we have tripled our budget deficit and increased our national debt by 20%. Future generations are going to have to pay for this. It's very clear that EVERY President keeps adding a few Trillion dollars, and more specifically, Trump and CoronaVirus are adding a lot of Trillions of dollars to our national debt. This debt is like an ever-heavier weight spread across a population that isn't growing, and eventually, the policies of avoidance will crush whatever is under it. There is NO WAY we will pay off the national debt. We will simply pay the interest until we can no longer even afford that; then it's a complete collapse. The big cities will go first and hard. Supply chain disruptions will be massive, and the cost of living is off the charts, so people will get behind the eight balls almost immediately when the people who are living above their means suddenly lose their income. Then come the street gangs. There is a reason Trump is activating National Guard on the east and west coasts, and it's not because they are fighting the virus. The Collapse is inevitable. No politician has the guts or brains to save the current system. The time to protect whatever wealth you have is now, as stagflation and eventually, hyperinflation will wipeout whatever value is left of the U.S. dollar. It will never get fixed until the system collapses. Talking tax increases and benefit cuts does not win you votes. Trump wants to be re-elected if that means financial collapse and the middle class destroyed, so be it. Maga! He said he was the King of Debt, and he ain't lying. Winning! Which is why there is exactly NO alternative to saving in gold. "Investment" is dead anyway. Return on Investment has been reduced to zero under a flood of printed paper credit. Bank accounts are certificates of confiscation. There's zero yields anywhere unless you are prepared to accept the enormous risk, and real-terms, organic "economic growth" has been gone for years, never mind what the useless "GDP" data releases blurb out. Just put the debt into the stock market like the rest of us. No risk and unlimited money! We're ALL gamblers now, bettors because that's all that is left. The Weimar Republic will look like paradise compared to what's coming. Extraordinary to me how the average Joe really has no clue about the epic seriousness of all this. Printing still requires supplies and labor; computer digits don't. And that, my friends, is significant. Fun Fact: By mid 1923, Germany's central banks were using more than 30 paper factories, almost 1,800 printing presses, and 133 companies to print banknotes. And don't forget about the $250 trillion in unfunded liabilities boys and girls. That is debt, no matter how you slice and dice it. America is $250T in the hole, but everything's going to be alright, folks, not a problem. That includes the unfunded promises for Medicare and social security. It’s unfunded even though our employers and we sent the money in - because corrupt congress stole it. So they will have to borrow to make the payouts - which seems like we paid twice. Now we see why smaller government is better government; They stole more than our social security payments. They undermined our life's work into nothing and made us pay for the weapons they will use to shut us up. The US economy to debt ration is equal to that of Greece’s ten years ago, and that is using a US pre-Corona economy. The next six months will be interesting. The rate of U.S. Debt growth has gone parabolic! There is no turning back from this insanity. The only out is through a smoking pit of disaster, crawling out the other side to start over. The federal government has a huge balance sheet. Oil and gas leases totaling more than $150T for starters. It must be nice to leave your fiscal mess to someone else. Politicians only know how to spend. The nation is bankrupt. Sooner or later, we will have to declare bankruptcy; or borrow from an unknown source to pay the debts. Then whoever we borrow from will pretty much own the US. If the government continues to print money, then money, in general, will start to be worthless. All the people who worked hard and saved and lived within their means will see that money’s value decrease because of over-saturation. I cannot honestly believe some people don’t understand that if you receive money for doing nothing, then it needs to be repaid. It was not enough to hold the markets up. They needed Unlimited QE, i.e., another 2 trillion dollar injection now. What they got is a slow drip, while Jerome sounded like he was the candyman to equities. He did say markets should price in risk, meaning no PPT saves and let the markets fall until they find a now Limited QE medium. Robinhood traders will get slaughtered, and the Fed looks good. That was just to bail out the 1% who own stocks and bonds. It is going to cost a bit more to keep the other 99% from burning the country to the ground. Until the GOP Manifesto for "Tycoon-Tax-Freedom" is firmly dealt with, and "Fair Share Responsible Taxation is restored and a Wealth Tax on the 1% Oligarchy who have accumulated 50% eliminate "Greed-Breed" entitlements. We can start by closing the tax loopholes for huge corporations and remove the roll-back of the taxes they paid. Thirty-five percent may have been a bit much. However, thirty percent would still afford the big corporations to make profits and produce millionaire/billionaire CEOs. Twenty-one percent is obscene. Must close the loopholes. Everyone should expect taxes to increase, both federal, state, county, city, and of course, when there is a budget deficit, the first thing to go are social programs and education. This is how wealth transfers happen in the US. The Fed bails out airlines, Hedge fund companies, banks, etc. etc. i.e., their buddies mega corporations without needing to pay it back. The fed makes money off the interest for hitting some keys on a computer creating fake currency, and the hard-working Americans via taxes pay it back. So we pay for extremely wealthy people to get even more wealthy. Meanwhile, small businesses only hope they can qualify for a loan (most won't get one), and they have to pay it back with interest. The FED exists to support greed and irresponsibility, simple as that. The US, Japan & Euro zones all need to man up and accept the mistakes they've made. Put greed aside, and let markets/economies clean themselves out. Stop this money printing bailout mentality and return to free-market roots. Otherwise, this thing will just keep going on, and reward for effort will be a thing of the past. Stop rewarding stupid & corrupt behavior! Stop corporate welfare end wall st, and the stock market that way companies have nothing to do with their money except investing in their workers and their companies, not their stock prices. Start collecting taxes from them. American business mentality is to borrow egregiously and make very risky bets. Then when everything goes wrong, deflect the negatives of the risk by having the Fed bail you out or game the system. How much longer can moral hazard be ignored, rewarding these inefficient and dangerous business practices instead of punishing the ever wealthier executors? Americans like living on debt, but the party is over. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The market bubble doesn't turn my stomach as much as the debt bubble. Unless you've bought recently on margin, a correction might sting, but it won't bankrupt you. Debt, however, needs its payments made. And if you've got one low payment too many, it gets ugly fast. Add a few trillion here to the debt and add a few trillion there to the debt and pretty soon, still, nobody gives a damn, because everybody knows that in order to keep the shithouse's walls from imploding, there will have to be another few trillion added here and another few trillions added there. That is called Ouroboros economics. Until now, it has been a discussion about billions. Now we shall hear a discussion about trillions. Three zeros difference. Zero is nothing until you keep adding them to the end of a number. And with the dollar devaluation coming, it will be quadrillions. Forget trillions. This is the Buzz Lightyear economics: To infinity and beyond. Well, at least we are in good hands. Our current president is the best president in American history...in handling bankruptcies. He has a lot of experience, and that's what we need right now, one with experience. And now I understand what he was saying when he said, "I am the chosen one." Who else would be able to handle this pending, greatest bankruptcy in the history of mankind? After all, he's gone through 6 bankruptcies already. And America will become his 7th. The USA is a Republic run by Big corporations. Therefore, it is actually an Oligarchy. Elections will not stop this as it gets worse every time. The top 0.1 % of the Super Rich have decided who wins through gerrymandering and by keeping this antiquated Electoral College system, both favoring the top 1% of the population. Compared to the EU countries, the USA hard-working citizens do not have any universal health care system, no six weeks/ year paid vacation, no 38 hours of work, no nothing European citizens have. Why is that? Well, the taxation system is much fairer, military expenses are far lower, so Eu can afford to make laws favoring the interest of their voters. In the EU, the politicians are afraid of the voters; in the USA, they are afraid of Big Corporate America! There is no money in the banks. Your bank accounts reflect a measured value of somebody else’s unbridled power. We are allotted credits by the secret elite that allow us to live falsely believing they have not enslaved us. Capitalism is simply what communism sees in the mirror. Nothing is going to happen to fix our deficit because both parties (and people) are addicted to debt and never-ending GDP growth. There is no way out this other than inflation. It is not possible politically to cut benefits and raise taxes sufficiently to make any meaningful headway on the national debt. It is just too big, and the political and social forces against deep cuts and big tax increases are too entrenched. Fix the problem by cutting politicians' entitlements, politicians' luxury spending, and stop giving tax breaks to wealthy, who need to pay taxes on all income. Stop stimulus pay to big companies and to those who make over $90,000 a year and to noncitizens with green cards. Cut multiple living expenses to presidents with multiple security to adult family members. Now, that is a good bog start to boost our economy. Cut Federal salaries by 50 %. Cut Federal benefits by 80 %. Cut Federal Holidays by at least five days. Cut Federal pensions by at least 50 %. Cut congress pensions by 100 %. They do not deserve a pension for two years of doing nothing. Cut congress medical to the same the retired people get. Watch the budget balance in a hurry. - The Fed counterfeits dollars by the trillions, destroying their purchasing power and driving up prices. - Funds endless wars and welfare. - Creates massive and artificial economic booms, that must be followed by painful busts. - Bails out the politically-connected, creating an economy riddled with zombie corporations. Central planning is (as always) a disaster! The FED will bail till it cant bail anymore, complete economic warfare followed by the destruction of society. Post-Coronavirus, the situation will be two times or five times or ten times worse. Global depression is imminent and will continue for an indefinite period as depopulation, deleveraging, and decline are the natural state of things. Cast off the lifeboats...the Titanic is going down, and we'll be in small boats on very rough seas from here on. This was going to happen. Eventually, Coronavirus has just accelerated the timeline." 3 D's. Depression. Depopulation. De-dollarization. It's the New World Order. Serfdom. Destroy middle class, small business, pensions (public and private), 4o1 ks. Doctors can't even perform surgeries right now unless they are emergency surgeries. Virtually every business is suffering. When the formerly comfortable middle class loses everything, the government will come in to "save us," with public benefits and police state. No honor among thieves. The greed pandemic is upon us. The real looters are living in wall street, and they're looting our money by the trillions. I personally hold the Globalists and their Federal Reserve accountable for this Global Depression scenario. They are responsible for inflating the currency and all bubbles, enabling criminal behavior, and destroying the economy in the process. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉Bankrupt Hertz Stocks up 50% -- Day Trading Madness !!

2020-06-12T16:28:00.002-07:00

👉Bankrupt Hertz Stocks up 50% -- Day Trading Madness !!

Hertz stock went up over 50% after the company announced on Thursday its plans to sell up To $1 Billion In new bankrupt stock. After announcing the opportunistic sale of newly bankrupt shares, "investors" are bidding the rental car company's stock up 50% this morning and back above its pre-bankruptcy levels. You CANNOT make this stuff up. Beyond corrupt and out of the box insanity. Peak Stupidity and Insanity. Hertz up 25%+ next week, bet on it. Robinhood Autists will buy it with both fists. This is a bet that stupidity exceeds infinity, and one guaranteed to pay. This will be epic. They will clean out the stockholders, dump 80% of the cars, all the insiders will pay themselves handsomely, then the debt will get a restructure, and fresh stock will be issued again at $20 / share IPO (of course after the insiders give themselves a large chunk of that fresh stock block). And the public will buy it with both fists. If a consumer ran up a debt on a credit card knowing they're about to claim bankruptcy, that's fraud and can be prosecutable. But Corporate Welfare Socialists get away with whatever they want with Wall Street and the Banks. Every big corporation is now literally "Too Big To Fail" and "essential." Total Corptocracy is what the USA has devolved into. Absolutely no moral hazard or accountability for anyone but the sheep. Nothing changes until the guillotines roll. We are in a bubble right now; the only thing that looks good is the stock market. But if you raise interest rates even a little bit, that's going to come crashing down. We are in a big fat ugly bubble. And we better be awfully careful. We have a Fed that's doing political things by keeping the interest rates at this level. The Fed is not doing their job; the Fed is being more political than Secretary Clinton. By the way, those were the words of candidate Trump in 2016, not of today. Stocks are up because our counterfeiting Federal Reserve keeps digitizing dollars and that trillions of newly "coined" currency have to go somewhere. Well, it goes into the stock market - pure and simple. What a grand scheme. Seriously, has no one noticed that Trillions were just stolen from citizens and handed to the bankers? The Fed knows we are screwed. So blow bigger bubbles to try and make this mess go away. Why the hell do you think it's going up?. The FED robs from the poor to give to the rich. They gave the common man $1200 to look the other way. This market such a joke. So many of us have our retirement funds and 401k's invested in this joke of a market. The stock market is no longer about anything. Hertz files bankruptcy, and people are still trading their stock. It was up 888% in 3 days, then down 60% in a day or two, and now it's up to 50+% today. The robin hoods are buying Hertz, hand over fist. I think that they think that Chapter 11 is the one after Chapter 10. The same thing with Chesapeake energy. Another bankrupt company that saw its stock jump from $17 per share to $72 per share in a matter of a few hours only to drop right back down to $17 in a day. With days like yesterday, a week's worth of gains is wiped out in a day. I just don't see how equity buyers see any value with the debt so high. The bondholders are going to take a haircut too. Until the Robinhooders are gobsmacked by reality, this lunacy will continue. What if the FED is doing this with its own Robinhood account? Anything is possible in this crazy world now. I see the fraud is widely prevalent in the system. There were 100s of bankrupt companies kept trading after filing BK11, and eventually, it became 0. There are many companies insiders manipulating stock prices ( maybe shorting their own stock through 3rd party, spread the bankruptcy rumors, cover it at the bottom for pennies) In many cases, there retailers trying to fight out this nonsense ( without any oversight in this wild west ) to pull their tail out of huge losses somehow. Hence they buy up stock to cause the shorties to cover at higher prices. There are literally 100s of companies stock manipulated like this in the past while SEC is sleeping at wheel or watching. Come on now. What fun is left in the world if you can't pretend to be a bigshot day trader investing in bankrupt companies that are issuing stock! Truly the world has gone crazy. The greatest economy in the world, 100% backed by retail bagholders and funny-money wizards. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This market is not normal. DJI went up 4000 points in a month. That's a lot of profit to take off the table. After yesterday, people are going to take profits on any bounces. Markets are still overpriced. The old pump and dump surely to happen. The rich got all their losses back and knew when to pull the plug. Super fishy market going on. There was no stopping this market a few days ago. A classic market manipulation, how do you think they're stealing your meager capital. The America I knew, has rather changed. Now it seems that the horn of plenty is only open those who own stocks. I once remember the horn of plenty was open to hard-working Americans, who held down jobs for decades. Issuing endless debt, taxing capital, and consuming it, and printing “wealth” out of thin air definitely works. Definitely, it does not matter what they do - because the real economy is not recovering. And they can't continue to print money at this rate without making the dollar worthless. You cannot use sand as a currency when you live on the beach!! The Fed is, was, and will continue to prop up markets. Right now, you've got day traders pumping things up due to low volume, and you've got qualified investors cashing in to close out positions and banking profits. The large scale investors have far more money and shares invested, so the stock drops much faster when the big boys start cashing in. Can the Fed really fight this massive exodus from equities and keep it propped up artificially? Everything is possible, even the impossible. Bankruptcies are the new growth industry, so why not take advantage. This market is not for those who believe in fundamentals. The economy NO longer matters ... NOR does the real economy ... NOR sky-high unemployment. All that matters is that wall street reelects trump. He is "The CHOSEN ONE." You can fool some of the people some of the time, and that's enough to make a decent living. Ever since the Dow was DOWn around 18k, the FED PRINTING PRESS has been in OVERDRIVE. Awarding stock market gains to the wealthy by way of taxpayer debt. Anyone surprised?? How long can this game go on? Stocks should keep moving higher unless the fed's printing press breaks down. It’s all about Program Trading. The stock market is not the leading indicator of the economy anymore (that's now an old economic theory). It has been taken over by the algorithm-driven program trading (Math/AI models), controlled by 20-30 major financial services companies (hedge fund, brokerage, private equity, etc.). These models decide the daily swings of the market. When the models are in tandem, the market generally stays up all day long (as was the case today); when they conflict, some wild swings come into play. Obviously, the central news and events are heavily weighted in those models. Of course, while the other professional day traders play along with the trend, they hardly influence the direction of the market anymore, contrary to the conventional wisdom or belief. There are people who buy just to be buying. No fundamentals left, just roll the dice. That what I see people doing. The market has been overvalued since 2015. I think if people ever start looking at the company's data and start following the market fundamentals and taking a realistic look at the economy, the market will fall over the summer. Never in history has stock prices been this disconnected from the value of the underlying companies. At some point, the reality is going to set in -- and it isn't going to be pretty. Gotta be crazy to put money into the market right now with the first little blip of a second wave of coronavirus cases right around the corner. All physical Retailers and theme parks and restaurants and hotels and airlines and cruise lines and theaters and sports are all toast. Most small businesses that require people are toast. The market price is in the ionosphere, and most companies, 90% or more, will see revenues and earnings decline for many years. Its just reality, and there are few places to hide now. There is not one good reason to buy stocks or bonds. The pace of unemployment historically high, FED and Government debt at all-time highs, household debt at all-time highs, FED forced to bail out banks (again) with unprecedented QE and Repo Loans, civil unrest in the country with protesting, looting, rioting, and killing, after limping through the weakest recovery and expansion in history. The U.S. economy is sinking deeper into the abyss. This is what the FED has created. Donald Trump has not drained the swamp. He has made it deeper. What the Fed has not mentioned is the precarious position banks are in right now. Bankruptcies are coming, and some big banks are going to lose their shirts. Remember Lehman Brothers? Get ready for round 2. I am looking at a run on most of the US banks, especially if this COVID-19 increases starting this summer & Fathers Day & huge riots in the large cities. Already took out everything from the safety deposit box - not covered anyway by FDIC. With the Money Market Reform Act, you won't even be able to withdraw what little money you may have left in your bank, savings, or retirement accounts. It is not a matter of if it is when is the only question. The titanic is getting set the music is playing, but we are hitting a solvency iceberg. Debt unwinding is coming. The America, as we knew it, no longer exists. Get right and sit tight; the worst is yet to come. This is worst than in 2008. We have many more unemployed. Car loans, mortgages credit card debt are all going to be in trouble. That means banks and car dealers and so on and so on. I see a recession for 2 to three years. The market can never survive normality again - it will just be FRAUD until there is NO market! Fraudulent, open blatant corruption, and shameless cheating. The stock manipulators do what they know how to do. They add nothing to the wealth of our nation. Crazy speculation works until it doesn't. Calls Puts Naked shorts are a life of their own. The curtain has been pulled down on the Wizzard in the emerald city. The economy is gutted. We are on the verge of war with China. Our cities are being torn apart. And nothing will stop this meteoric stock market rise until November 3rd, 2020. Then comes the trump dynasty. It kind of am reminds of the Romanoff's, and we all know how that ended. The whole stock market is complete utter trash fabricated to benefit only the wealthy and screw the poor. They get the laser speed trading while poor puny bastards are using 4G internet trying to catch up like Robinhood. Front run every trade! A few cents times, billions of trades per day adds up! Computer programs run the markets. Not you. All they care about are making money and making money. You are who they make money from. They're not going to let you go anywhere. The Markets have morphed into video games. This is a nothing market. The only way to win is not to play. Only a moron would play this casino. If we went back to the gold standard, we wouldn't be trying to spend all our time speculating. We would be inventing stuff. Our economy became financialized by fiat - imagine all the Wall Street jobs that would go if we returned to the gold standard. Robinhood won't order fill unless you are a cent above ask and a cent below bid. Better yet, they then sold their order flow to HFT players, lock their players into dark pools, and then block withdraws. Oh, did I forget their clients are not even buying real stock. Their just buying a digit inside Robinhoods computer. Their trades don't even go out to any exchanges. Oh, this one even funnier they just shut down selling while the market routs and their indexes are like 2% off the real market. The rest of the brokers are probably blue with envy that their frauds are modest in comparison. That's the power of free. Save your commission. Oh, just in case you want to make it even better, you can invest in a company that's bankrupt, like Hertz. What a deal! This is how the scam works. YOU buy say one share of a company - $1300, which is fine. But the order never gets to an exchange, and you never owned the stock. As the price climbs on the aggregate across 1000's of share buyers, millions of dollars flow into Robinhood. Then they simply watch the futures and shut down while the market corrects. Because nobody can sell while the price falls. Robinhood keeps the arbitrage spread of the price fall. That's why they'll always shut off while the price falls. Once the price falls significantly, the trading is reopened, and the client is now staring at their losses. So they sell. Robinhood credits them the difference (loss). Plus, they also squeeze the client a penny spread above ask and below bid, which is more % in their pocket. Aggregated over the 10's of millions of traders, they are making 100's of millions off this. Oh, if that's not insulting enough, the HFT's see your order flow and their algos squeeze a penny here and there out of the whole thing. Surely the SEC will get after them for their accidentally on purpose shutdowns? Just kidding. The fine is never as high as the money they make off the crime. Isn’t that what they say on Wall Street? I have never witnessed such blatant corruption in my life. What a disgraceful situation these bankers have created. Buy land, silver, or gold. I am trying to get out. Stocks are not worth at all. You can lose all of your money, definitely not investment. It is worse than gambling since it is all digital; the Mafia sees your hand and steals your money. Gun and ammunition stocks.

👉The Dow is taking off like a SpaceX Rocket Ship !!😆😱😃😄

The Collapse of America is bullish. America is collapsing, but The stock markets are roaring up, and the Dow shoots up to the moon. What a bizarro world are we living in! Nothing surprises me anymore. The bankruptcy rate of small and medium businesses is going ballistic. The US Bankruptcies Soar 48% In May, The most since the financial crisis. The trade deficit continues to expand. Millions of Americans are out of work. Nearly 43 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits during the pandemic. For 11 weeks in a row, jobless claims have been in the millions. The "unexpectedly strong" US jobs report actually admitted that it was fake. The national debt has hit $26Trillion, and the tax takes are falling off a cliff. Debt to GDP is sitting at 130%. But if you include state and local debt, the total Debt/GDP ratio is 146.5%. And should be heading for 300% soon. Soon to exceed Japan's ratio. And The US stocks are hovering near a three-month high, The stock markets are up, oil prices almost back to their old, and Trump is tweeting the hell about it. Don't understand how the Saudis can raise the price of crude when there is no demand. These Markets are on Crack. We have now entered the Twilight Zone. The Dow is taking off like a SpaceX rocket ship. This rally is as organic as a bag of Cheetos. Bankruptcy news can apparently send your share price flying 825% these days. The Stocks are all that matters. Nothing that free money from the federal reserve can't fix. After all, they are zillionaires. The inmates have taken over the asylum. If we’re talking in terms of numbers, yes, the markets have recovered to almost their All-Time Highs. In terms of logic and sense, it went the opposite way. It recovered based on absolutely NOTHING. The bad news was good news. The Fed fell asleep with the finger on the 0 button. They started with 1, and the 0’s kept going. This is the only reason markets went up. I bet we would be below 10,000 on Dow if they didn’t pump it. THE FED and the government have been the spender of last resort. Debt to infinity, or there is nothing left to pay. The breakdown and tipping point is in the past, in early 2020. Now we watch it all unwind back to the Middle Ages. You won't have to blink many times before you will see the marines in the streets. A total descent into chaos is on the cards. Money can be printed. Wealth cannot. There is no chance this rally is not orchestrated. I mean completely orchestrated. Bears will have to wait for another shock. As long as the ALGOs can make their midday snake channel, this will go on for a long time. For that, the volume must be kept relatively light. The ALGOs are masters of that. "The stock market is NOT the economy." War, natural disasters, pestilence, they have no effect on stocks. The "Capital Impairment" of the US is real and not going away. It's been caused by picking apart the US infrastructure, private tangible productive capital, and pretending that "made up" substitutes like "Knowledge/Service Economy" are drop-in equivalents. They aren't, and we've seen how much they aren't with COVID in terms of the total inability to respond to it because we no longer make fundamental things. How quickly the Potemkin "Knowledge/Service" economy collapsed, and How quickly the supply chains of "real products" from overseas have collapsed. Just like in 2008, people left the market. Especially older people. Liquidity goes down; manipulation is easier and cheaper. So yes, the economy in the shitter, and the stocks up. Riots in your city defund police. Basically, the algorithm is anything that's extreme and doesn't make sense. That's what's profitable. Fake economy and fake stock market. Those large companies with their stocks at all-time highs will now buy all the bankrupt companies for pennies! All part of the plan. Never let a crisis go to waste. The stock markets, and all the markets for all we know, are being driven, not by normal investors, but by free money from the federal reserve. They give free money to the banking system, and they buy up all the stocks with this free money, as ordered. And this is just the stuff they are doing openly. They've been manipulating everything financial in secret for decades now. This is why they don't want us to see their "secret" books. In the old days, we had the expression, "It's the economy stupid." But that has been replaced with "It's the FED stupid." They are at the controls, not us. The unemployment rate could go to 100 percent, and markets would still go higher as “the Fed continues gifting trillions of dollars to America’s overlords who use the money to fund their cartels. It's just insane. So far, the central banks are winning at their game again. Can't last forever, but right now, they have proven everyone wrong. When it does go bust, it's going to be one historical event. If a 2000 tech bubble is worth over -50%, you can be sure that global economic dumpster fire is worth a hell of a lot more than -35%. It's why the Fed is pumping in the first place, and why the data is being falsified. The more Central Banks money printing neither helps inflation (beyond the stock market) nor employment (as any money corporations get will go into buybacks). So, why in the world are Central Banks printing money, besides helping out the global elite. The FED is not 'supporting the markets'; the FED is gifting their crony friends with stolen money. Wealth confiscation via the inflation tax. The Fed is robbing people with insider trader scheme. The money printing goes to zombie banks, zombie companies, and bank cartels that put it in their pockets. The productive part of the economy is starved of cash and dies. Central Banks are doing illegal money printing for the wealthy. It's only pushing more and more poor and middle-class people towards socialism. Central Banks have murdered the free market. This endless money printing for Wall Street is fueling this stock market bubble. It's pissing people off and pushing poor and middle class to say effe it, bring on socialism! All part of the plan. Just imagine in a few years an AOC type as President getting a hold of the Fed's money printers!. It’s All Fake, It’s Rigged, and It’s an epic Criminal Fraud. And the consequences will be historic for the armies of unconscious Dolts that cheer it on. Yet, the Wall Street degenerates continue to gorge [enrich] themselves on public-funded debt (Welfare for Wall Street), unabated. Meanwhile, the tax slaves ultimately on the hook for Wall Streets free-ride & easy money are burning down their businesses & communities. It seems all is well in Slavelandia. The tax slaves are too busy protesting or quarantining while the Wall Street elite are in Martha's Vineyard or the Caribbean (must stop at the Cayman Islands to check on accounts) cheering on the protests and giving sound bites on Bloomberg about social justice. People really are stupid. With the US economy dead since 2008, the only thing left for the Fed is to print trillions of dollars in debt. No one with an ounce of common sense is going to invest in this market. The valuations don't even make sense, assuming a full return to pre-COVID economic activity. We are watching a market completely detached from fundamentals. I don't know why the FED would think this is healthy. Maybe they can't really control where the money goes, and they feel it necessary to support the various markets they are shoveling money into? After all, What good is an inflated stock portfolio if you live in a poor and divided nation. This system doesn't have a "few years." This action is to keep the economy alive until after the election, and then we get the reset and new system. Whatever the hell that is going to be. I doubt it's going to be "better" for anyone watching this. How is it that our politicians on both sides and the entire media conspire to help the big banks and big companies, calling them too big to fail? How can America yearly spend a trillion dollars more than it takes in, and it just is ok? But if an individual does it, they go broke! The middle-class Americans, seeing their standard of living, evaporate, yet the stock market comes soaring back. The disconnect is deafening. Zimbabwe is the template. In the end, they will say, "We did all we could, but the US dollar died anyway. But we do have this New One World Currency we would like to introduce the world to. Try it; You'll like it (since we left you with no other choice)". Everything is moving along as planned. The U.S. dollar’s days as the world’s reserve currency could be numbered. World history tells us all fiat paper currencies head to their true fundamental value eventually. ZERO. In the last 570 years, there have been 6 World Reserve Currencies, each lasting between 80-110 years. The US $ is now in year 100, and many textbook distress signals are now in place. Will the 2020's be 'The Last Hurrah'? WHAT ARE THE DISTRESS SIGNALS? WHERE ARE WE? 1) Sky High Debts that can NEVER be repaid. 2) 0% Interest Rates. 3) Rising Unemployment. 4) Panic buying & Supply shortages. 5) Social Unrest. 6) Government Bonds Yields at record lows. 7) Endless Helicopter Money Printing propping up economies. ENDLESS MONEY PRINTING will CAUSE ZIMBABWE, WEIMAR REPUBLIC, ARGENTINA, VENEZUELA STYLE RUNAWAY INFLATION !! The elites know this system has reached its end, and the dollar needs to go away for the simple fact that they want more control by using digital currency. If the dollar is dethroned as the world reserve currency, I would expect it to be replaced by some “global currency,” not by an individual country’s currency. That’s what the elites have been incrementally working toward for quite a while. America is circling the drain because we have had shitty leaders for three decades. Or even six decades with one or two exceptions. Trump has been pumping up the over-valued markets and convincing main street, the stock market is A. the economy and B. a good investment, despite the first being stupid and the second being even dumber. The market is soaking up the inflation of the recent money printing,$6 trillion at least. A devaluation to pay down debt. Debt that will keep the music playing. Fed debt and government debt are used to control the sheeple. Sheeple debt is different and has to be serviced, or the system collapses. As Venezuela melted down, they had the best performing stock market in the world for five straight years. We are melting down. The stock market is going to da moon.....to da moon. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. All that matters is our government's continued willingness to disregard the financial well being of future generations to keep markets lofty these days. Next month ought to be interesting, starting off with a huge correction in the BLS employment numbers, and also disastrous quarterly corporate reports starting to come out. And the lag effect of this economic downturn will start showing up in our economy. Defaults on mortgages should skyrocket unless the fed steps in with trillions of newly created dollars. But they won't bail out the individuals. They will only bail out the banks and the markets (for now, until the time the order is given to pull the plug on the markets). The individuals will be dumped on the side of the road and left for dead. But never mind all that, the economic downturn is over! Stocks have skyrocketed, we created millions of new jobs, everything is just great. Smoke and mirrors at its finest. Free money from the federal reserve is manipulating the markets higher, and now fake government stats have joined in on the delusion. In the old days, we only had to deal with fake news; now, our entire markets and government stats are fake. The Fed already tried raising interest rates gradually from 2015 to late Summer 2019, and the financial system began signaling imminent collapse by Sept. 2019. Go ahead, raise rates again, and collapse the economy before it has even begun to recover. Apparently, the current riots with looting and arson plus murder and assault are not an adequate reset! Everyone should wake up before they are dragged into an intersection and beaten to death. The 2008 recovery only really favored the few anyway, and 2020 is grotesquely more severe as many of the previous jobs never return and what new ones do appear will not cover the losses. If anyone at the Fed triggers ANOTHER Crash by raising rates before the fires are extinguished should have all their wealth seized. To have any sort of civil peace, many more trillions will have to be passed out annually. And to do that rates will have to be Zero- for 10, 20, or even the balance of the century. The game ends when markets are too big for the Fed to manipulate. In the meantime, nothing can stop this emerging bull market as everyone knows that when the next ginned-up crisis emerges that the Fed is going to monetize equity (buy stocks outright). So buy all the stocks you can because when the dung hits the fan, the Fed will make you whole. This rally is orchestrated. No real thing will turn the market down as long as the system of organized support does not fail. As long as the volume can be held down by the ALGOs, the uptrend can last until there is another shock. It is the same game everyday. If it opens down, stocks land in a waiting basket. Prices are then managed back higher. Goal one is always to close green for the day or secondly, well above the open if that is not possible. Stocks are frequently gaped higher. The same basic pattern ensues, and the goal is to close at the high for the day, if that is not possible, no black candles or thirdly up for the day. The basic pattern is the same every day. Deal with the sellers in the first 30 minutes. Make a snake-like low volatility pattern until the close. Trial rallies are attempted throughout the day. The close is always banged. Every now and then it doesn't work, but even then it doesn't do too badly, Will this pattern be present tomorrow? It always is. Why would tomorrow be any different? It is silly to attribute rallies like this to organic trading. That is ridiculous. The really big question is "when to cash in and then where to put the proceeds." The petrodollar Ponzi is kaput, trillions created with a mouse click, and backed by some lizard on TV. Digital wheelbarrows of money for just a measly single share. Good luck with that. If you're not stacking gold/silver and bitcoin, you're going to be eating gruel in the Bolshevik gulags. Hear me now and believe me later. And stack useful assets. A solid diesel truck. Housing. Some basic commodity company stocks etc. Ammunition, of course. Body armor. Get more Precious Metals while you can. They will be too expensive and unobtainium later. Junk silver (90%) is still cheap and available in 1964 or earlier US coins (halves, quarters, dimes), and Franklins and Liberties. :Bunkers,Bullets,Beans,Bullion,COFFEE,BOOZE,LAND,And MEDICAL SUPPLIES.

👉America in Chaos , Societal and Economic Meltdown.

👉America in Chaos , Societal and Economic Meltdown.

2020 has been quite the experience so far. Can you imagine where we’ll be in another six months? Everything that could go wrong went wrong. As if the coronavirus and the worst unemployment numbers in history were not enough. Outrage spills across America, The nation's largest cities are exploding with rage. As angry protesters take to the streets and attack police and destroy property. America today is in chaos, with Mass protests, looting, arson attacks, looting, vandalism, and violence spreading from coast to coast. Amidst what is one of the worst health and economic crises ever. This is not going to have a happy ending. Economic turmoil, Mass unemployment, Civil unrest, Corrupt, uncaring Government, manipulation of the food chains, and add a pandemic in. This is the perfect storm. We all getting played to turn against one another, wonder who that is. Add into the equation; food shortage, natural disaster, solar minimum, heatwave, locusts attacks. There will be a lot more rioting, looting, and civil unrest as The U.S. economy continues to collapse. What we have seen in the city of Minneapolis is only the start. Social unrest and protests are unfolding across all major US cities. Our country is so profoundly divided. These are not peaceful protests; This is chaos. This is part of the agenda to justify the implementation of military martial law. This has been the plan from the get-go. Everything Going According to Plan. This is what happens once people realize that looting is systemic and starts at the very top. People are Fed up, and this country has lost any economic integrity or a sense of purpose. Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. America is coming apart, as we have riots, much like what we saw happening in Hong Kong. The White House is now suggesting the military may be sent in. Trump tweeted: ‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts’: quoting Miami police chief’s notorious 1967 warning. Trump and Pompeo called Hong Kong rioters "freedom fighter." While American protesters are called thugs. Smack of fullest hypocrisy and hegemony nature of the US unassumingly as a policeman in other countries' internal affairs. What the CIA did in Hong Kong, is coming around to haunt us at home. This is called Karma. After years of fomenting revolts and rebellions in other countries with zero regards for the people who live there, time for the US to have a taste of their own medicine. Why is America sending troops to quell their own rioters immediately after a day of protests and is making a huge fuss to prevent China from sending in their own troops for Hong Kong protests? Definitely double standards here. In the USA: Protests for a few days, sent in the military to shoot. In Hong Kong: Protests for one year, the police must act with restraining; otherwise, sanctions will be imposed on China. Bringing in the military to the streets of America will only get a lot more people killed. Problem reaction solution. The people will cheer for their troops marching in. Order out of chaos. The aim is to establish an overt police state and surveillance system that is used to oppress the masses and keep control of the country in the hands of the current owners and rulers of the USA after the US empire collapses, for generations to come. The surveillance systems are already in place. Police force training has also already been shifted from de-escalation and preventing violence to escalation and employing violence and brutalizing people. The psychological profile that cops are recruited from has also changed to allow mindless policing. The militarization of the police in terms of equipment and training has also already happened. Returning veterans who have been to war and know the truth, ex-cops and other dissidents of the regime are already being labeled as domestic-terrorists. The laws that make the establishment of a police state as a response to a crisis are already signed into law in the patriot act and NDAA. All that is required now is a spark of violence that is made to spread and spread (we are here) until finally somebody snaps (cops fire into crowds or crowds firing on cops), and that will give the excuse to fully activate the police state through POTUS declaring martial law. So Now Here Comes Civil War, Martial Law, and the Troops. Congress and the Senate will be suspended. The courts will be suspended. Power to rule will be fully shared between the head of DHS, head of FEMA, and POTUS/White-House. And there is no limit to how long the president can keep democracy suspended like this with FEMA, DHS, and White House being in charge of the country, instead of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government as the constitution declares. What happened in Minneapolis was a spark that could ignite a civil war in America. This is going to escalate dramatically as the economy begins to collapse. We are going to see a summer of riots like it's going to be back in the 60s and even worse. When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it. And as a result, the militarized police are going to become more militarized. The uprising is the voice of the unheard. We see this explosion of violence and the rioting and the looting and everything is that we are having a real crisis of faith in some of our institutions. Because there haven't been consequences in the past for bad behavior like officer Chauvin. He had 19 violations in his career, and it doesn't appear that there was serious action taken against him, and now we end up in this situation. But what is the fair balance in a situation whereas we know of in the history of repression and of anger and justified anger! The vast majority of Americans of all colors detest rioters, want law and order, and do not hate the police. This mob behavior helps the globalists regardless of the media narrative and agenda. Now The The Washington Post is reporting that officer and George Floyd may have known each other and worked together for years. And the rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper. It’s the pieces that we don’t see moving on the board that concerns me. As long as we fight with each other, we cant fight the 1%. The reality is if you are not part of the 1%, you are a thug, regardless of color or religion. This is exactly what they wanted. They want America to destroy itself from within. Our enemies have turned the police into a weapon against the American people. We need unity, or we will wake up in a high tech prison. It's time for the US to UNITE and FORCE the Government to give the US the real hope and change We the People DESERVE! Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We started coming together against the COVID, so they bring this out to divide us again. Mass media psychological subversion. Divide and conquer. All planned perfectly! Especially when everyone is wearing a mask and can’t be identified! while you are kept in constant quarantine and under house arrest while absorbing all the fear porn that leaves you anxious and distressed; ask yourself the question, why is society breaking down? with a media made mind virus, the virus of the crown maintain the social distance stay six feet apart and lose that soul connection we feel when heart meets heart it's something you can ponder while you languish in lockdown with a virulent mind virus. The virus of the crown dive deep into the rabbit hole and swallow the red pill and apply some critical thinking to what really makes you ill atishoo atishoo we all fall down with a virus so contagious. The virus of the crown you can lead a horse to water, yet you cannot make it drink. You can show a man the truth, but you cannot make him think complicit, compliant, complacent through decades of dumbing down with the virus of the hive mind, the virus of the crown. Indeed, Cui Bono? Who Benefits? American leaders have been encouraging hate against other people and nations for a long time instead of love. Civil unrest is the price they have to pay. We need peace, and if we don't unite for it, we're going to die in war. "There is a reason so many people are looking to move out of our major cities. The reason being is that major cities have become cesspools. The reason is that we've all grown to hate each other. It would help if the political class, every side, would conduct themselves as wise rather than zealots hell-bent on destroying their perceived adversaries. All organized chaos, along with COVID, part of a bigger plan. If any of your local representatives' tweet, "The President wants to foment conflict and division," they are in on it. Leaders, ( I hesitate to use the term), your government representatives should be listening to their constituents about their local issues and communicating the action plan their office is taking. Not finger-pointing, blame game, etc. The underlying problems that created this powder keg have been simmering for over 50 years. Money in politics, corruption, imperialism, economic control, never-ending wars, the great society program, controlling, not improving education, controlling, not improving, healthcare, etc., etc. If you want to change the system, start in your own community, get involved, hold your local representatives accountable. Point the finger at the actions, or lack thereof, of these representatives. This is what happens when you lock people up for four months and throw $1,200 at them to keep quiet while raining Billions of wealthy Wall Street CEOs and Bankers. Rents can't be paid; mortgages defaulting; What's next now? The lockdown has made the nation stir crazy. The frenzy is more contagious than the virus. People are desperate to add meaning to their lives. They are desperate for a cause. The killing of some guy we don't know by a cop we don't know has lit a fuse. The police are not the band of brothers. They will stand down. We are on our own people. Look to your provisions and your security. Authorities reportedly arrested Floyd because he attempted to pay a deli with a $20 bill that was allegedly counterfeit. Only The US Treasury owns the right to pass counterfeit dollars on the private entity FED command. If everyone else does it - society breaks. Posse Comitatus: is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. So they stage the Floyd Police Brutality event( Floyd and the cope were 17-year acquaintances, Then start protesters in the streets. Add in more paid protesters, burn buildings, Gives the Government the excuse to send in The Troops.

👉 R.I.P. Middle Class America

👉 R.I.P. Middle Class America

We are no longer the wealthiest middle class in the world. The country is falling apart. In the US, The Middle Class is shrinking. Pew Research Center data shows that in 1971 sixty-one percent of adults lived in middle-income households by 2016 that the number was down to 52%. Americans as a whole now have over thirteen point eight trillion dollars in debt, a number that's gone up nearly every quarter for the past six years. Almost 40 million Americans have lost their jobs since the coronavirus pandemic struck in March. More than the population of Canada. 21% of Americans now rely on welfare, 80% live paycheck to paycheck. The number of people living in vans and tents has been increasing at an alarming rate. The Middle Class is disappearing, squeezed between taxation and inflation. Goodbye Middle Class: The Percentage Of Wealth Owned By The Top 1% Just Got Even Bigger. Previously affluent middle-class Americans are now queuing for handouts at food banks, as America experiences the worst downturn since the 1930s and the Great Depression. This is what happens when your government doesn’t have a furlough scheme and gives the money to the executives Instead. As the cost of living has risen faster than our incomes have, more Americans have been squeezed out of the middle class with each passing month. Credit cards, student debt with no degree/worthless degree, 10-year auto loans; Cry me a river. The K-12 cartel has become a de facto Stupid Factory, stamping out worthless slugs. The majority have been forced to hand over their wealth to the state to fund their pension Ponzi. Pure socialism and that pension Ponzi is a debt. There is no capital. The end result - wealth inequality, pensioner poverty, austerity, high taxes, lack of investment. If you're not prepared right now, it's too late. Wait till the food Shortage starts after this year's harvest. The Farmers were not able to plant, thus harvest yields are low and will continue to be low for years to come. Food riots are coming to a city near you. There is still time to plant veggies. Food shortages: Fiat Money is backed by food. New Dumb Serfs are born every minute. Future Tax Serfs Will Work for food and water. You trade your time for money. Read Food/Water/etc. Your time is up when you go broke (Deep in debt) and/or can't work anymore. Of course, these opinions of mine are a bit obscure & don't apply to the wealthy. However, given that people work for more than the essentials, like food, clothing, and shelter, not working means no essentials, and though I oversimplified it with food, you'll understand better when the food supply gets disrupted. Venezuela understands this all too well; Zimbabwe does too. There are only two classes left in this country. Those who have enough in the stock market to make a difference. And those who don't. And the gap grows wider. Where is the fair return on savings? The good old USA - has the worst wealth inequality in all countries. Three people - Bezos, Buffett & Bill Gates - combined wealth is more than the combined wealth of 50% of the country. Absolute worst in the world. Even in India, it takes nine persons. Proving the USA is even worse than India on the wealth inequality measurement. After the coming crash/reset, only a small percentage of people will have the resources/savings/knowledge to keep their own homes, those with large mortgages will get smashed. Wealth will flow into a monied/property-owning class, which will be between 5-10% of the population. The rest of the population will never have the chance to own property or assets. They will have to live hand to mouth. At the minute the hand to mouth class is roughly around 50-60% and growing every year, let say it grows at 3 to 4% per year, then within a decade this will come true. Sadly, this can't be stopped. Many people have already given up and now base their entire life on a hand to mouth, week to week existence. The youth see no future, instead of rebellion like the punks of the late '70s, these downtrodden kids are happy enough to dodge reality by playing Playstation or talking to imaginary 'friends' on social media. The American neo-feudalism will be the logical conclusion of the American clan-corporate "capitalism" imposed by the USA in 1913. It is the giant sucking sound of our fascist government using corporate socialism to bleed the taxpayers to support the kingmakers. The upper class has already taken a good chunk out of the stock market. Now They're waiting to buy everything up cheaply after the crash. This Depression will transform America beyond the obvious. Just wait until the FED wants to inflate away the debt. The middle classes will disappear completely or be redefined as the 90% to 95% percentile. Middle-class America, You are an endangered species, your children and grandchildren will pay the COVID debt through their organs and labor. We are less than a decade away from Soylent Green, and yet the ignorant masses come out every Thursday at 8 PM to clap and bang on their pots and pans. They are the dead men walking but are too stupid to realize it. Whilst they can't sleep at night through fear and spend their days praying to their God ( The big government) to make it all better again. They are willing to line up in an orderly queue, keeping 6 feet apart, to be slaughtered by the same people in power they worship as gods. The middle-class private-sector class was already mortally wounded after Clinton, Bush, and Obama. This is the final nail in the coffin and will eliminate the private sector and the American middle class. The only sector that has survived is the government employees who continued getting paid even while they were shut down. The USA will become more like China, where the brightest student fights each other for a government job instead of some private sector work. So many Americans are happily bought off for a mere $1200. Acceptance of slavery is worse than slavery itself. Offshore accounts hide over half the wealth of the uber class. We cannot compare the lower 99.99% to them. They own half of this planet. All roads lead back to the fiat money system. It was introduced to tax and enslave the public. What we need is a sound monetary system without government interference, precious metals, or barter. We are forced to accept a currency that loses value every single second! The rich, in collusion with the government, have robbed the middle class blind! How is the poor responsible for all the money that is being printed out of thin air to bail out banks and big corporations!? We pay taxes to feed the 1%. We are carrying a huge parasitic load.No more no less! We are truly slaves, and those who vote and support this sick system are simply clueless! Bottom line in two simple sentences: - You suffer because you are forced to use federal reserve notes. -Your life sucks because the Fed and the Wallstreet gang stole all the wealth of the nation with the help of the guys you vote for. Period! The Fed creates wealth for those with political power. It destroys the wealth of others who lack political power. In the beginning, the gross numbers are impressive, while folks at the bottom suffer. In the end, even those who receive wealth transfers lose. By the time the economy collapses, everyone has forgotten what caused the problem. "It's called the American dream because it isn't real." The American Dream no more. The American nightmare more like. The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. The middle-class family life and security have largely disappeared. The first cause is "neoliberal globalization" is something far less organic, or evolutionary than many would like to believe. It has to do with free trade, outsourcing, and the transfer of huge amounts of capital, entire industries, and millions of jobs to places like China with near zero-cost labor. It was not the working & middle class that benefited. They lost. It was the multinational corporations, the investment banksters, and the rich who benefited. From the 1980s on, all our governments, and all economists knew what this was doing to our economics, and they all knew the trend which was bringing out nations from creditor nations to debtor nations. The banksters in the West loved it because with the increased deficit financing trying to maintain our standard of living, the governments had to borrow more from them. In the process, they became even more powerful. With fewer jobs, less cash, there was less security for the things which really matter in raising a family - all supposedly because we want to buy our ticky tacky at the lowest possible cost no matter what it does to us in the long run! As for China, the one-child policy which began in 1980 and which has caused huge demographic problems for that nation, was, in fact, a condition of the US for opening up the trade that went back to the 1972 Nixon-Kissinger negotiations with the PRC government. There was no need for it as the Chinese people were already on their own, reducing their offspring from 6 per couple down to 3. If the anti-child, population-reduction elites who run our nations were behind the Chinese one-child policy, as well as our own anti-family and population-reduction policies, as most certainly they are, then they of all people were in a position in overseeing free-trade to see exactly what it was doing to family security in the West. The fact is all of the elites are bastards, and they only way the middle class will have any peace or justice for any kind of security is to remove all of them from power and strip them of their wealth. Since they deregulated banking and took off all the safeguards put in to prevent a 1930s style crash, we immediately get three crashes in 20 years. We need to ban banking across state lines again, and Amazon needs to be broken into 50 independent pieces. The people that fled the renter status of Feudalism by settling the new world became owners. The country that threw out George the Third was almost totally middle class because most people lived on farms and in homes that they owned outright. The foisting of the FED was the destruction of a real middle class since inflation forced people to borrow from the banksters in order to build what they could do independently before. Property taxes are an abomination since it converts everyone into renters. The definition of the middle class, no matter how impoverished, is someone who owns his property entirely unencumbered by debt. Today there are three classes in America. 1) The One percent. 2) the middle class, which is 12% of the population, and actually making a living wage. 3) The NEW LOWER CLASS which makes 87% of the population. Globalized wage slaves with huge indebtedness. The middle and the poor get harvested, and the rich get richer. This was the real purpose of globalism. The best way to define the "middle class," is this: people in the middle class borrow money from banks, for houses, cars, etc. The lower classes can't borrow, and the rich do not borrow, except through corporate entities, which are actually quite legally distinct. Now, some bloke out there with a $10k/month mortgage certainly would say he is upper class. He is the upper middle, perhaps. The working class is what created the middle class. The educated working class was the upper middle. Now they're just all a bunch of debt slaves. The outward projection of the 'middle class' looks good, but behind the scenes, it's living paycheck to paycheck. The only difference is that they're doing it in a nice house on the West side of town instead of a trailer on the south side down in the bottoms. "The ceaseless rise of non-discretionary costs " Costs are rising at a ridiculous pace, property taxes, utility charges, and fees; the outflow is getting to be pretty heavy. It will be interesting to see who ends up naked when the next tide goes out. The Elite feel you should be happy to have a job. You don't need savings or financial security. Now quiet down, and get back to work. Exactly, all by design to keep you slaving away while barely keeping your head above water. Same as it ever was. A roof over your head is also a luxury to the elite. Being middle class rather than muddle or upper class puts you at bigger risk from the government than either the rich who own the government or the muddles who really have no assets face. In ten years, we'll have more government no matter who we elect, and it's the true middle class who will suffer from it. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉 Retail Apocalypse A Tsunami of Retail Bankruptcies and Closures in 2020

Even though we are slowly reopening across the board in the majority of the country, many businesses are still closed or will never reopen. We are seeing it in retail, and in health, we are seeing it in hospitality and travel. The Most Retail Stores Will Be Closing.COVID has hit retailers hard. EMPTY STOREFRONTS ARE BECOMING A COMMON PART OF THE Cities LANDSCAPE. People don’t want to drive miles and wait in line and potentially get sick for things they could have delivered to their homes the same day. 2020 will see a retail apocalypse, A Tsunami of retail closures, and bankruptcies. An unprecedented retail crisis never seen before in American history. More chain stores will be disappearing, and several mainstay retailers are rethinking the whole idea of having brick-and-mortar locations a staggering number of stores have shut down. And it is not just about these big chains, three-quarters of retailers are small businesses, and those are the ones that are really at risk. As the toll of unemployment in the U.S. is growing each week, for more than two months. Many economists and experts believe some of these lost jobs will not come back any time soon. With consumer confidence low, when people do not have two nickels to rub together, when people are not making nearly enough to live. What do you think is going to happen with the retail sector. That is the particular concern in the retail sector. Over two million Americans have now lost their jobs in retail. Stores shed jobs, of course, as sales plunged. A record 16.4 percent down from March to April, a bloodbath for the economy, since retail accounts for about half of all consumer spending, which in turn drives some 70 percent of economic activity. In acute pain, clothing stores, where sales have tumbled nearly 80 percent. Already struggling department stores are down about 30 percent. Include that well over 50% of restaurants won't survive on 50% less occupancy, which means 50% less revenue. When many need 85-90% volume, and a high table turns over just to break even. The pandemic has speeded the shift to online, predicted to jump from 15 percent of all retail to fully a quarter, good for virtual stores, disastrous for ones you can walk into, many of which have now gone under. As a result, it's harder for retailers to both pay their debts and stay current to compete with behemoths like Amazon and Walmart. Now, across the country, some stores are opening up. But, even if retailers open, are people ready to go shopping? Even among those who may want to go out and shop and miss that activity, a lot of them don't have the means to do so, or they're reluctant to spend because they're nervous about the economy. Confidence takes a moment to destroy. It can take many, many months to come back. My guess is that 30% of businesses will not return or won’t last long. And about the same percentage of people will remain unemployed. This setback will cripple the economy for the next ten years. The debt incurred will be the pandemic killer! And while operating at reduced capacity under new rules now, businesses are passing the buck onto consumers. Extended hours, limitations on the number of customers allowed, improved sanitization methods, and a barrage of personal protective equipment; All comes with a price tag. Some businesses are tacking on a COVID surcharge as they navigate through the pandemic. Now consumer experts say these surcharges may push customers away. Macy's said that sales were down 45 percent. Because of online retailing, it is likely that at least half the brick and mortar retailers were on the extreme margin of solvency already. Online shopping already accounts for 11% of retail sales. The good old days are gone when mall managers wouldn't even meet with anyone not representing a AAA national chain tenant. Now they are offering free rent and incentives to CBD sellers and hot dog cart owners. Thrift stores will become anchor tenants. After JC Penney filed for bankruptcy, Hertz also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid rising debt and a sharp drop in demand for rental cars during the coronavirus pandemic. The company is the latest business to fall victim to the coronavirus. This is just a start. We will have many more to see. I have seen news Aldo is also looking for bankruptcy Insurance. Pier 1, JCP, Kohls, Macy's, Foot Locker, Nordstrom. Then the Universities and Colleges. Starting with Halloween to Christmas, there are no parties, no celebrations. Rice and Beans for Celebration. Just wait another 60 days when the enhanced unemployment money dries up. There will be 50 million unemployed with not a pot to piss in. The depression is only in the unfolding stages, and the economic collapse that is coming will make the virus look like a picnic. Let’s make a list of those that are still able to make the rent: 1) Gun shops. 2) Liquor Stores. 3) Grocers. 4) Coin shops, (thanks to the gold and silver stackers). 5) Weed dispensaries. 6) Fast food restaurants. While dams fail, bridges collapse, communities deteriorate, and homelessness grows, while jobs and the US economy are offshored, the environment is degraded, and health care needs go unaddressed.US Billionaires are up 460 BILLION in just two months. And Will be UP a TRILLION, at a minimum, by fall 2020 election. Tens of trillions to Wall Street, the banks and corporate welfare socialism. America is simply going to drown in its unaddressed debt problems just as New Orleans drowned in Hurricane Katrina. America's economy was never strong; it just printed more money. This is just the beginning. It will get much worst when the looting, riots, civil disobedient, the chaos starts. Coronavirus has left the US in economic devastation. Most small businesses and service industry jobs have been eliminated. Airlines are sitting. Restaurants closed. No sports or any gatherings. People are hurting and need money badly. Forty million jobs lost in 7 weeks. America is on the verge of losing everything. This Economy is not going to just bounce right back. It is going to take years to recover from this. It'll get extended beyond the election. Bank it. The real ugly will hit at Christmas when all the businesses get to see first hand how broke many are now; and spending for Christmas craters. Many will be homeless as banks take homes and apartments. People do not own anything. We will be a third world country very soon. The Fed and the Banks will own everything. When you take a 30-year note on a house or property, you are really buying almost three houses in the end, you keep 1 for yourself and give 2 to the bank. Depending on your interest rate, that is. But its never really your property. The county will stick a gun in your ear every month and tax you. Right around here, I see people paying $10000 a year on their house just in tax. Imagine what taxes will be after this COVID BS with no income coming in for local governments. State pensions are a disaster. Politicians want to give hundreds of millions away to the homeless and illegals. They only get their money from taxes, your taxes. Inflation and taxes are going to explode. That's why GE and Ford and GM, GE, all those old money blue chips are gagging on pensioners that they promised to pay. Well, now they can't pay. They are pension guarantee/distribution companies that just so happen to make cars. That's the result of 4 decades of neoliberalism, capitalism on steroids, ' more is never enough' a dog eats society, without humanity. This is gonna suck for a while, but we are finally seeing what is important and what is utterly useless. Overpaid, useless politicians. Social welfare at taxpayers' expense with no accountability. Institutions of higher learning that rib and exploit young people while offering a useless degree and debt, while tenured professors are basically fat parasites living off the servitude of young people who can't find paying jobs. And the list goes on. We could see societies on a global scale go back to simple living, learning skills, or knowledge that fixes problems and not teach victimhood as currency and a real responsibility to the community that results in positive action. One hundred years ago, you knew your neighbors and helped them when they were in need. Most people don't know they're neighbors name right now. I really think this was one of the goals of the virus scare. They want to eliminate most physical locations of commerce. Everything is to be done online - less travel, less mingling with other people, less competition, further economic globalization, elimination of thriving local economies, ultimately moving towards global technocratic communism. Things are a whole lot worse than you know. Historic highs, Monstrous lows; Everyone broke; Little hope. Sounds like a job for the WAR option. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. THE American ECONOMY is COLLAPSING! This is THE WORST DEPRESSION IN HISTORY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, ONCE THE REST OF THE WORLD REALIZES THAT THE US DOLLAR IS WORTHLESS! The Day of Reckoning approaches. Most of these businesses have their doors still open only because they do not pay rent. Once they get evicted, they cannot pay their suppliers and employees, and the chain reactions begin. Meanwhile, Robinhood traders clicking their mouse and popping anti-depressants like they were tic-tacs, continue to buy their lottery ticket shares. The chaos will not be a sudden meteoric event. Instead, it will be a gradual and insidious process. The poor dumb American will be bankrupted and evicted in a controlled process. At least that's what the globalist have planned. But, by the very definition of "chaos," this will not be predictable by any means. We must rationalize the pandemic's aftermath in a thoughtful and mature way. Rashness and impulsiveness will not serve the cause of righteousness. Listen to what your conscience tells you. Follow ITS proddings... for that is the voice of God. Do not succumb to any "relief" initiatives given by the government. Seek civil disobedience movements. Deny vaccinations. Defy gubernatorial edicts. We must act as a hive. There's no way they can control a free-minded people. Huge swaths of "Main Street" properties are owned by Real Estate Investment Trusts and another high flying, HIGHLY leveraged investment consortium. A lot of Mom & Pop investors bought shares in these financially engineered Flim flams thinking they were investing in something tangible - real estate - not realizing that they were really investing in a complex smoke-and-mirrors shell game run by rogue accountants. Commercial Real Estate has, like everything else in the Financialization Of Everything world, been used as collateral for financial instruments running 25X - 50X - 100X leverage. It's subprime and jumbo mortgage meltdown version 2.0 waiting to happen, and once again, nobody could have seen this coming. Dang coronavirus! Everything was rock solid until that pesky bug showed up. Now the financial system is going to need another bazillion-dollar liquidity infusion from the Federal Reserve. The whole American economic system is very predatory and unforgiving and doesn't have any resilience when something disrupts it. In the end, it's the poor people who suffer, and most Americans could give a damn. It is a very poor system by any measure. The system was designed by the elites, for the sole benefit of the elites. 99.9 % of the population has been screwed every which way, and those that control the issue of money, simply get more wealthy and powerful. To end the Fed, one has got to bring down their masters. The Banksters are a gang of criminals - they are the head of that snake. We, the people, are definitely screwed! You don't pay your car loan; they take it. You don't pay your country's loans; they take it. Here is the kicker; they bought the country with the paper they print. PAYDAY!!!!!! Why have Americans allowed this to happen? Our forefathers properly warned us. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉Mortgage Crisis has Begun Mass Foreclosures & Mortgage Market Mayhem.

2020-05-24T11:22:00.002-07:00

👉Mortgage Crisis has Begun Mass Foreclosures & Mortgage Market Mayhem.

4.7 million Americans cannot pay their mortgages right now. That's a million and a half more than in 2008. In May, 8.8% of mortgages are in forbearance. One-third of the American tenants stopped paying their rent. Millions of Americans unable to pay May's rent and mortgage.Up To 30% Of All Mortgages Will Default In Biggest Wave Of Delinquencies In History. The Mortgage Market Is On The Verge Of Collapse. The Mortgage Crisis has Begun, with mass foreclosures and mortgage market mayhem. Americans affected by the coronavirus pandemic are struggling to pay their rent when they have lost income. More and more tenants are protesting, paying their rent. Missed rent, in turn, adds up to landlords who can’t pay their mortgages or property tax. And then cities and states will struggle to provide the basic services that tax payments fund. Tenants can't pay their rent. Then owners can't pay their bank mortgage. Then the banks collapse. Welcome to the future, folks.And what about the Ponzi scheme that allowed the mortgages to exist at all? A Ponzi scheme with no incoming payments collapses. And that is exactly what is going to happen. But don't worry, the bank executives will be just fine. The economy’s dead, and as is standard practice these days, the autopsy report will make no mention of pre-existing conditions or diseases, it will just say Corona. In Los Angeles County, they announced tax increases starting June. So a bunch of people lost their jobs, and oh yeah, your taxes have gone up. It is insane that construction workers pay more in taxes than amazon or Jeff Bezos, who’s worth around 130 billion dollars. State and Federal government tax everyone at an average rate of 7% on everything. Corporations get their money from the exploitation of the working class' labor. Large corporations got their tax breaks even when the economy was booming. Ordinary folks can't get a break even when they can't pay. April and May are pretty irrelevant. The crisis has barely even hit. Just wait and see how those numbers change in the next few months after the real fallout from this crisis hits and after the unemployment money potentially runs out. The first $2.2 trillion bailouts will take us out to about the beginning of summer. Then what? In the coming months, there's going to be a wave of defaults within 6 to 8 months that will make 2009 look like a blip. Skid Rows will be created all over America. Even before this crisis, a lot of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck. Some were spending more than half of their take-home on rent alone. Now that they're stuck at home and don't know when they'll get back to work, they've got some tough choices to make. More than 38 Americans have filed for unemployment since mid-march leading to long lines sneaking into food banks from coast to coast and rent strikes across the country, from New York to Los Angeles. More than one-fifth of Americans said they had little or no confidence they can pay the next month´s rent or mortgage on time, a survey found. In April, we witnessed the largest single-month jump that has ever been recorded. Mortgage delinquencies surged by 1.6 million in April, the largest single-month jump in history, according to a report from Black Knight, a mortgage technology and data provider. The data includes both homeowner's past due on mortgage payments, which aren’t in forbearance, along with those in forbearance plans and who didn’t make a mortgage payment in April. At 6.45%, the national delinquency rate nearly doubled from 3.06% in March, the largest single-month increase recorded, and nearly three times the prior record for a single month during the height of the financial crisis in late 2008, Black Knight said. Frustrated and struggling Americans took to the street across the country in rent strike as bills come due, and families face hard choices. Many states have suspended evictions or foreclosures during the pandemic. The governor of New York said, there's a moratorium you can't evict anybody for three months. California and many other states and cities have followed suit, pausing evictions for the next two to three months. A growing movement is now calling for a rent strike. But after three months, In July, the eviction notices are going to come, the homelessness problem is going to rise, and the real economy is going to be sacrificed to the financial sector. The American economy will look pretty much like Greece. It'll be in austerity. There will be people who don't have jobs. They are going to be evicted from their apartment. They will have to run through the savings. They will not be able to pay their credit card debt and other debts. So arrears are going to rise, and the banks will be squeezed. And Trump says the one thing we can't save the people, but we can save the banks. The Federal Reserve has enough money to keep all the banks afloat even if they're not getting the mortgage payments, even if they're not getting the debt collection. And the banks can now make up for the money they're not getting by having a huge new market lending money to private capital and to the large companies to buy out all of these small businesses that are going under. It's a bonanza. And that's what Trump said that'll make the country rich again, meaning the 1%. Not a problem when the Government prints money, and the peasants don't have to rely on the elites to lend to them. Or is using the "magic wand" only okay when it comes to bailing out the wealthy, propping up their portfolios by manipulating the stock market. As a result of Wuhan flu, most companies in the US declare bankruptcy, financial institutions stick their hands out to Fed, Fed fills their pockets. Companies borrow from financial institutions (again), lenders on hook for unlimited amounts of money with no fear of risk. Rinse and repeat. The FED balance sheet (the one we get to view) will be 12-18 trillion in the next 6-12 months. All hands on deck to keep the stock and bond market from imploding. They are going to cannibalize and feed everyone to their friends on top. We see the collapse of civilization as we know it. And, This is only the beginning. We have a $22T debt owed to a private central bank. That is the problem. They buy bonds and flood the country with money. Then, those 10-year bonds mature, and money is transferred from wherever it was, back to the central bank. That is the problem—private central banks. There is no way out peacefully. The powers that be think inflation is prosperity. They are firmly squeezing the economy into hyperinflation, where they own everything, and the people are left to perish. The banksters don't need us anymore, and the real disastrous calamity has yet to occur. This is the retirement of bonds purchased by the fed for QE2. There's a 3rd wave, due over the next year. Ten years from QE1 happened in 2018. This is QE2. Quantitative easing 3 is due to retire shortly. The money supply will be hugely contracted. Money has only served to enslave those who can't create it from nothing. We need a new course, with or without money. Where your inspiration and drive can manifest tangible and beneficial results, everyone has some talent or ability that may or may not be harnessed, because of the question "how well does it pay?" It's not human nature to be selfish or greedy. That comes as a result of deprivation or scarcity. Some people may always behave that way, but if there were enough for everyone, that condition would surely subside. It will become our duty to rebuild this great nation. I hope we have the ability and the commitment to make it how the founders desired, with liberty and justice for all. The government causes the problem for the people, then the people go to that same government that caused their plight and expect different results. The government might keep you alive. But only self-sufficiency and your own critical-thinking will turn lemons into lemonade. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the full truth, and nothing but the truth. What is clear is that Americans don’t have savings. That most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Half of Americans have less than one month's savings. Even small business owners and entrepreneurs. We have the lowest minimum wage rate in the world. Things continue to get more and more expensive, yet wages never go up. For decades you lose if you have “savings.” Cash devalues 2-3% per year from inflation pre corona. The only yield for commoners to keep up was gambling in the stock market. Now that’s demolished and pilfered. Rip off capitalism for the Dollar printers and lenders (lending what they print that costs nothing) and theft of time and resources from the serfs. This is Feudalism 2.0. The message from state governments to all business owners large and small is, "You exist at our pleasure, and we can cancel you in a minute. You will kowtow, or you will not have a business anymore." I believe that was also the arrangement under feudalism. We destroyed that paradigm when this country was founded. Now we have reverted to it. What in God's name happened? 2/3 of landlords are renting rooms or one stand-alone house. They are not rich. The Government is the cancer, no matter the form. Anyone who is a landlord knows the precise point: "People dealing directly with people can figure everything out." The Hobbesian view of every man against every man is pure nonsense, as man's default condition is one of mutual cooperation. Of course, bad apples exist, but if Hobbes was right, humans would have gone extinct millennia ago. Government creates the discord, not people entering contractual, voluntary relationships. What we have now is socialism for the corporate welfare bums and debt for the slaves, which doesn't work either. Large businesses own the state. They use it to crush the competition. This means that the banks and government will be the major owners of real estate in this Country. The end result is the fed (a private bank) buys the property for pennies on the dollar. Why is it landlords and lenders who get jacked? Most landlords are just regular businessmen too. And, keep in mind, the Land Lords will still have to pay the property tax to the Grube, which is the lion's share of every payment anyway. Landlords will default. How can they pay taxes under such extremities? The government wants to own everything. This is communist! The only one's buying will be banks. In the end, banks will own everything, and everyone else will be a serf, and they will be your lords. The banks get your property, that was the plan, part of the pandemic. The Banks bleed you first, then take the property. 30% or more of mortgages could easily be in a state of default by the time this is said and done. Try kicking 1/3 of the country out of their homes. You'll have a population that is no longer fat, happy, and comfortable. That's when you have to worry about the boogaloo. Whatever they do, they will NEVER let the markets clear on their own. Never let anyone go broke again, least of all the banks. Never let the debt Ponzi end. Never let anyone who has been fiscally responsible with their life or business have a shot at succeeding when others less responsible fail. Never let anyone get ahead in society by their own effort and intelligence. Never let consumers decide what they want to buy with their own money, nor producers provide it for them of their own free will. Never let anyone who defers immediate consumption in favor of profligate spending be allowed to gain by their behavior. The sad part is that bankers would rather evict you and have the property vacant and rot than negotiate a much lower rent and forbearance. We did bailouts in 2008 and crossed that moral hazard again when the government and fed literally handed out 6 trillion and counting this time around. I think only 500 billion went to the plebs. Time for a Debt Jubilee! Wall Street essentially gets at least once a decade. Now it's the tax slaves turn. I am, like you fiscally conservative and have virtually no debt, but my sense of fair play says it's time. Time for a debt jubilee and a return to honest money.Although I am sure that the debt shackles ain't coming off serfs without a BIG fight. We live in a system with $10.000 GPD per every human on the planet, $40.000 debt per every human, and $200.000 derivative per every human. It is unsustainable, and now with Wuhan's plague irreversible that we are at the endgame. It may take a decade, but endgame it is. And fine by me, debt should be something you are scared off. At the end of the day, it's mathematics. Usury is exponential, and our world is finite. Why not look at modern-day Russia instead, who is doing quite well after defaulting on its debt. We have an option, either cancel the debt or become debt slaves. The world owes hundreds of trillions of dollars. To who????? The system is rigged. Time to change the rules. This Coronavirus is the excuse to transition us into a global, communist, totalitarian, satanic, one-world government. The quarantine was the most diabolical event ever perpetrated. Millions of people instantly all out of work for two months because of unreliable models, Mainstream media, and cabal propaganda. Tragic, so many fell for it. And with so many, it will be nearly impossible to break the spell. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉National Debt Can Never Be Paid -- Global Monetary Reset to Digital Weimar Currency Coming !!

👉National Debt Can Never Be Paid -- Global Monetary Reset to Digital Weimar Currency Coming !!

The national debt is already at an absurdly incomprehensible number like $23 trillion, and increasing by the minute. We're already in a mathematical fantasy land beyond the limits of human understanding. A stack of trillion-dollar bills would be 67,866 miles high, or more than one fourth the distance from the earth to the moon. This means the deficit before the pandemic would've been a stack of dollar bills more than five times as high as the distance to the moon. The national debt is never going to be paid. It will ALWAYS go up. The Fed WILL monetize the debt at negative interest rates. The treasury debt the Fed will hold will have an average negative yield. They will pay the treasury interest, but in reality, that will just require a wind-down of reinvestment, so it actually isn't anything real. These are all ledgers with lots of zeroes. At some point, the Fed will have to buy ALL of China's holdings as they liquidate, and then ALL the social security surplus holdings. And they will pay well to keep rates very, very low. With negative interest rates--people will pull their savings from banks and buy gold (if they have brains). Banks will not lend to get less back. Scared people will stop buying and start hoarding cash. The economy grinds to a halt. This is the GREAT IMPLOSION, coming soon to an economy near you. The Fed is creating a bubble economy. Once people understand it is all about the Fed, maybe things will change;But not until then. They are using fear and misinformation to herd the sheep where they want them to go seems to be what’s going on today. Even Powell, Yellen and Bernanke are telling the congress not to worry about the deficit. Just keep spending. What he doesn't tell this naive Congress, and the president is that getting the government to spend even more reduces the government's power, and increases the federal reserves power over America. They want the Congress to keep spending in order to make our government as bankrupt as possible. The more deficit spending on our governments part, the better for them. This is what the purpose of this coronavirus agenda is. Bankruptcy for all, and the transfer of all financial control into their hands. They want to remove all financial power from world governments and place all financial power in the hands of this secret fraternity at the very top, who are in control of this international banking system. Their target is the removal of the US dollar and replacing it with their long-desired,one world currency, owned and controlled by this secret fraternity at the very top. Yes, the domination of this world by way of the monetary system. It isn't apparent yet, but it will be, when they put the icing on this coronavirus cake by pulling the plug on the world markets and creating the biggest market collapse in history. Why? They are currently bankrupting our governments. Now they want to place us in a complete state of hopelessness by bankrupting all of us individuals also. So, in the end, the people who created this evil will present themselves as our saviors by making us an offer we will have no choice but to accept. Accept our one-world currency in place of all other currencies, including the US dollar, and we'll bail you out. As I said, they will leave us with no other choice but to accept. And due to their power of absolute secrecy, all we have the power to do is watch the show. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that the nation's unemployment rate could soar to 25 percent. Powell says a full economic recovery may not happen without a vaccine."Full Recovery Could Take Until End Of 2021. Will Require A Coronavirus Vaccine," Powell said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes”.Why would a cartel banker/beancounter have a say as to whether a vaccine is needed or not? "Just following orders" will not be a defense, Powell. So, Fauci, the MD, became an economist, and Jerry Powell, the economist, is now a doctor. Do we live in a bizarro world ,or what! Those who wish to inoculate themselves against this flu should do so. If it works as advertised, they have their immunity. Those that do not wish to take the vaccine pose no threat to them. Compelling the rest of us to be vaccinated is going to be an interesting operation. A vaccine or market manipulation either will do it. The Fed has launched a series of efforts to keep markets functioning properly and has teamed with the Treasury Department on a variety of lending programs aimed at businesses and individuals. In addition, the Fed is buying corporate and municipal bonds. That’s come amid burgeoning unemployment crisis that has seen 36.5 million Americans file unemployment claims and the unemployment rate rise to 14.7%. Wall Street is just like Washington DC. It runs on loopholes. All you have to do is learn your way back and forth through the Maze of stupidity. The same people who sell the panic, sell the vaccine. Before COVID, there were 162 Million active workers. Current reports indicate there are 36 Million unemployed: so its at least 22%. However, this does not include part-time workers that were laid off and unable to file for unemployment benefits. It also does not include workers that have their hours cut. This party is just getting started . By this summer, the unemployment rate could top 40%, as the momentum builds. Those 36 Million workers aren't spending as they did. Probably more than 100 Million workers have dramatically cut spending. This is going to drive unemployment up much higher. Even if all states open up tomorrow, it is not going to be a return of business as usual. People are going to be reluctant to spend money, travel, eat out, etc., until they feel confident that the virus is gone and that the economy has stabilized. It is going to take many years. It took the US about ten years to fully recover from the 2008 crisis, and this one is much worse. People on the minimum wage have to spend 100% of their wages to survive. Billionaires spend 1%, with 99% disposable. They live, as opposed to surviving, on this. National Suicide, Expected to soar . The shooting starts shortly after the USD FRN reaches its intrinsic value as electrical bits and poorly absorbent toilet paper. Losing may be winning if the stupid masks, closures, distancing, handouts, bailouts, negative interest rates, alleged forced vaccination plans, etc. Turn fattened human flocks of idiot sheep into lean, hungry packs of intelligent wolves. Exciting times. That's what happens when counterfeiting enables deficit spending. Eventually, the world will realize the dollar is worthless with all this printing. Then this debt will be an issue and only an internal issue for us the Peasants. "It's the money, stupid." Founding Father axiom. It all depends on whether the US loses reserve currency status over a long period or a short period. The national debt is ballooning, and one day we would default on it. Math can only be stretched so long until an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. During 2008 bailouts, experts were saying, now is not the time to worry about the debt, we can address it once were past the crisis . The debt was never addressed, other than the Bowles/Simpson plan...which failed. I'm hearing the same thing now about this crisis and the staggering debt being piled on. Another frightening number on that debt clock is that of the total value of global derivatives. Judging by the fast-rolling number counter, it appears it's increasing by over$ 2.0m a second! Mind-blowing numbers, all just waiting to collapse when the defaults begin. Ever heard of 'marginal change' ?. The effect of one more unit on the whole. A sinking boat and that one pint of extra water that sends it to the bottom. A sinking economy with a Fed deficit. The effect of one more dollar of debt. The closer you get to the breakpoint, the more important the marginal change. Are we there yet? If not $25 trillion, then 25.1 trillion, 30 trillion, 400 trillion. Has it already happened? Is the economy finished, and we just don't know it? Already the word is out there is a massive problem. Interest rates are being forced lower because the country cannot afford to pay interest on the current debt. With low-interest rates, no one with a brain wants to lend the US money. The Fed has to step in. Now, the debt is faux debt (just zeros on the Fed balance sheet)-- and ready to implode. If this is not warning enough, what is? When I activated the US Debt Clock Time Machine for the year 2024 -- just four years from now -- it showed that at the current growth rate, we would see a national debt of $43.6 trillion! In four years! That is unsustainable! Something must be done right away to bring it down, or a disaster will occur within the next few years. America must pull its head out soon, or a calamity will soon occur! This is digital Weimar Currency. They won't even have the problem of printing on one side of a bill . That's why we are going to experience a monetary reset. This apparently happens to every monetary system not tethered to something that can't be printed out of thin air. That being said, The deficit can reach 50 Trillion or 100 Trillion! The small business issue came from the shutdown and excessive regulations for the most part. It will eventually become a problem, and the system will collapse. This shitshow will only get worse until the final collapse. So expect the unimaginable all the time going forward over the cliff. COVID was a convenient excuse the crash land this debt loaded, massively leveraged economy. The string-pullers opted for flight 1549 in the Hudson River rather than the Hindenburg zeppelin exploding and going down in flames. Strange how the Pandemic is so well coordinated and the New World Order "elites" are ALL singing the praises of an as-yet non-existent vaccine, which clearly is going to be compulsory with the implied threat of military force. The death rate in the non-high-risk groups, even using the inflated mortality numbers, is around 0.1%, so what is the scientific basis for a compulsory vaccination for all without any understanding of the risk/benefit equation for low-risk cohorts (most of the population)! Other than the social control . There remains the medical ethical principle of "Informed consent." Well, I am informed, and I don't consent. What then? Why are we still pretending that Covid-19 is a particularly deadly virus and that we must destroy ourselves out of fear of it? All those who want to be locked up forever should just go ahead and lock themselves up forever and leave us the hell alone. Why do people with horrific plans always insist that we have to join their suicide pact for our own good? The Hong Kong Flu of 1969 was way worse than this WuTangFlu, and they did not shut down the economy. This is an intentional sabotage of the world economy. The aims are many - to impose a worldwide plutocracy served by tech stooges and psycho scums, to impoverish people to the level they won't ever protest politically, to overthrow the role of people in politics that is on the rise ever since 1789. Call it whatever you want, but this is no pandemic. Get ready for millions of bankruptcies, loan defaults, and bank failures. Millions of retirees will lose almost all of what was promised as big pension funds fail. Powell admits it will get very ugly, and no one knows how or when this ends. If reopening brings on wave #2 and they have to close it all up again, kiss any recovery hopes goodbye. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Three TRILLION $ more debt planned and Powell says now is not the time to worry about it, only when the economy has recovered. What The hell ! We haven't worried about it for the last two decades since Cheney said "deficits don't matter." Our great economy has never been anything more than a bubble pumped up by endless debt thanks to the Fed Bank. The wealthy are doing great , and the bottom 50% are unemployed, maybe forever. The banksters are loving it and want to keep us shut down to do the most damage. We are in real trouble. Pray for a miracle. Bailouts, more printing, baby print, print. Insanity continues. With negative rates looming and is coming, FED can’t raise any rates higher, is too late for that, so their only option is going reverse, you are going to see some funny thing happening. The economy has been sparling for a long time, and not only in the U.S. Unprecedented access to cheap cash, lack of any fiscal responsibilities, plus mounted with other policies and reality has also produced a fallout. Now Banks is put a tight lid on “Line of credit access,” which basically is putting small businesses folks in the cold and not to mention others who have to meet certain obligation is putting them in a state of what is a sense. Lady in Casino dancing for the bosses is starting to sweat. She realizes she is expandable and no longer can entice them. MMT/QE’s etc. And top with it, they will squeeze the last amount of breath from anyone. ECB/Fed/BOJ and other Central Banks around the world, and don’t think China is excluded, fiat is fiat they flow same way just the value is different, are on a collision course of facing final act. Total Bankruptcy and insolvent of nations due to internal debt which is way beyond understanding and external debt of the rations to GDP debt, which is already putting heavy iron plates on their shoulders. They will default, and not only the U.S but all of them will not meet their obligation. So next scheme is Digital, but the game is the same; bosses are well aware of their needs. They all soft defaulted in 2008 when all of the major Central banks started QE, and never really stopped. The issue is now that with the shutdown of essential production, it is going to lead to shortages, leading to price controls\rationing and inflation. The entire industrialized world is switching over to third world status. I very much doubt digital will work. It just makes it much easier to create inflation, and it is 100% dependent on reliable data & power to function. The Government digital currencies will likely be too easy to print when they need it and will quickly collapse in value. The Achilles heel of the industrialized world economies is tax revenue need to balance government spending with production. Tax revenue as all but collapsed, while essential government spending has gone to the moon. The U.S. is a dollar exporter, and both parties' donors won't allow anything else. If we ran a trade surplus, Wall Street's casino would close. The American people don't understand how corrupt this country is. The aim is to fleece the people quickly into debt slavery, where the shirt on their back is owned by banksters. The powerless people on the bottom of the food chain get hurt the most, but the fat cats with political influence are able to get the big bailouts. Basically, the Fed has de facto created Royalty in the world. They are the elites, rich, bankers, and the well connected. They know that no matter what.The Fed will save them. The working man has no chance. The head of the country's financial system, Jay Powell, is saying the answer to the country's woes is social distancing and forced injections by the military. America is already finished as a country. The dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency. It won't be long, and we won't be able to trade our pretty pieces of paper in exchange for real goods and services. The federal government will have to spend at least a trillion less than it does now. We won't be able to get away with our trillion-dollar trade deficit much longer either. We've been getting a lot of Chinese products at artificially low prices for a long time. An iPhone would probably cost $5000 if it was made in America. Expect the 2020s to be a lot like the 1930s.

US Stocks Crashing -- Coronavirus wipes out 17 Trillion in 2 Days

Coronavirus wipes out $1.7 trillion in US stock market value in two days. The S&P 500 lost an estimated $1.737 trillion in value in two days, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices’ Senior Index Analyst Howard Silverblatt. Stocks cratered again on Tuesday as investors fled riskier assets amid intense fears about a slowdown in global growth caused by the deadly coronavirus. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.8% on Tuesday and joined the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average in turning negative for the year. The S&P 500 just wiped out about $1.737 trillion of its value during its two-day market sell-off, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The equity benchmark lost $810 billion in value on Tuesday, adding to its $927 billion loss on Monday, according to the firm’s Senior Index Analyst Howard Silverblatt. It’s down $2.138 trillion since last Wednesday’s high, according to S&P Dow Jones. Stocks cratered again on Tuesday as investors fled riskier assets amid intense fears about a slowdown in global growth caused by the deadly coronavirus. The S&P 500′s two-day loss of 6.3% was the largest for the benchmark since August 2015, when the Chinese government devalued the yuan amid the U.S.-China trade war. Tuesday’s 900 point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average added to Monday’s stunning 1,000 point plunge. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.8% on Tuesday and joined the S&P 500 and Dow in turning negative for the year. Bond yields also plunged as investor sought safer havens. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to a record low of 1.32%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) looked set to rebound from yesterday’s devastating crash. But after rallying nearly 200 points, the index lurched back into decline. Here’s why the stock market suddenly plunged back into crash mode. After yesterday’s 1,000 point Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rout, stock market bulls salivated over what they thought was the perfect time to buy the dip. But a half-hearted recovery quickly collapsed. And by midday, greedy investors had gone from licking their chops to licking their wounds as the stock market spiraled toward even steeper losses. dow jones industrial average crash Investors are taking the threat of coronavirus far more seriously now that the CDC has begun to outline containment procedures. | Source: Johannes EISELE / AFP The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) looked set to rebound from yesterday’s devastating crash.

Advertisement That was wise advice, especially in retrospect. But what sent the Dow and broader stock market back into decline? Just like on Monday, the answer lay in the coronavirus outbreak’s ongoing spread outside of China. More than 80,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide, including just under 1,000 in South Korea, more than 280 in Italy, and 53 in the United States. President Donald Trump may claim that the U.S. has the coronavirus under control, but health experts and stock market strategists are less confident in the administration’s assessment. The spreading deadly virus, that has infected more than 80,000 and killed more than 2,700, has sent shock waves through the markets. Companies like Apple, Nike, United Airlines and Mastercard have all raised flags about the coronavirus and its impact on their earnings. Chip stocks, which rely heavily on revenues from China, are being abandoned by Wall Street as it becomes more apparent supply chain disruption will persist until the epidemic is contained. Health officials at the Centers for Disease Control said Tuesday the coronavirus is “likely” to continue to spread throughout the United States and the American public should “prepare for the expectation that this is going to be bad.” This follows news on Monday about a spike in cases in other countries in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, outside the virus’s epicenter in China. Investors are closely watching reports in Italy, Iran and South Korea. Top White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said that the U.S. economy is “holding up nicely” and that the coronavirus in this country is “pretty close to air-tight’ containment.

Japan Economy Collapsing -- Yet The Worse is still to Come

2020-02-26T15:13:00.001-08:00

Japan Economy Collapsing -- Yet The Worse is still to Come

Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, shrank at the fastest rate in five years at the end of 2019 as it was hit by a sales tax rise, a major typhoon, and weak global demand. Japan has suffered its worst quarter since 2014. Japanese GDP shrank by 1.6% in the final quarter of this year, the equivalent of a 6.3% annualized slump. This without counting the impact that the coronavirus will have on the Japanese economy. Economics fear that Japan, the world’s third-largest country, could fall into recession this year. As the coronavirus hits companies exposed to China. The coronavirus spreading across Asia and the world is very likely to hammer Japan and the yen. The coronavirus is already taking a toll on the number of Chinese tourists to Japan and manufacturing activity due to the economy’s close ties with China, prompting some economists to forecast a contraction lasting two quarters. The Japanese economy greatly benefits from the horde of tourists that usually come over from China, and the two nations have developed a very close trading relationship. In Japan, the authorities are growing increasingly concerned about a rising number of cases. Until now, the picture in Japan has largely focused on the cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, which is still more incidentally just down the coast in the port of Yokohama. Although the vast majority of passengers have now disembarked after one over two weeks in quarantine but separate to the 700 or so cases linked to that ship. The Japanese authorities now say there are around a hundred and fifty reported cases elsewhere in the country. They're dotted all over, and the concern really for the health authorities is that they're really struggling to try and work out how and where those people became infected. It is an increasing problem, a big headache for the Japanese authorities. Because in five months' time, Tokyo is due to host the 2020 Olympics. If this epidemic is not contained by the time of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the damage to the economy will be huge. Japan's government is refusing to test hundreds of people who got a severe fever and applied to be checked if they got the coronavirus! In the last month, they only checked no more than 1000 people, while South Korea Government, for example, checked over 40000 people! They are intentionally controlling the numbers for economic reasons! And they let temporary negative people who got off the cruise to take public transportation to return homes all over Japan. And of course some people turned out to have a fever and be positive with the coronavirus later. Now the virus is all over Japan, yet they are still controlling the numbers by not testing people who need to be checked and not taking positive solutions! The outbreak in Japan is now inevitable. There is no confidence in the government. There is a lack of goods in the stores. People are very worried and scared. Many parents are keeping their children at home. Most Japanese believe the government bungled the cruise ship situation completely. Many hospitals are refusing to treat people who want to be tested for the virus. The medical staff who worked on the cruise ship are being bullied by their bosses and coworkers rather than admired for their work like the medical staff in Wuhan. The government is focused on the Olympics more than anything and secondly on the economy. The only reason the number of infected seems low is because nobody is being tested. The criteria to get the test is very rigid, and it is only available at a few hospitals. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. Please take some time to subscribe to my two back up channels. I do upload videos there, too, on a daily basis. You'll find the links in the description box. Thank You. Japan’s economy is facing the risk of a recession because the coronavirus outbreak is hurting tourism and production. Japan is on the verge of a technical recession. It is a situation generally defined by two consecutive quarters of falling production, but the eyes of the world are now focused on the country to understand if it can turn into a more profound crisis. The Financial Times, for example, wondered if there is anything the government and the Bank of Japan can do and if Premier Shinzo Abe will succeed in his ambition to revive the Japanese economy as his mandate ends. It is not only Germany, the European locomotive, that is entering a recession. The myth of Japan, whose economy is third in the world after the US and China, also creaks. Official data show a dizzying drop in GDP, which fell by 6.3% per year in the last quarter of 2019 (1.6% short-term), a much larger contraction than the 3.8% forecast by analysts, as well as the worst result since the first quarter of 2014. For Japan - the world's third-largest economy - it was the first quarter of contraction after three consecutive positive quarters. On the bench of the defendants responsible for the drop in GDP, the consumption of Japanese citizens who went down by 2.9%. The fault of the increase in the consumption tax passed from 8 to 10% and decided by the government of Abe ((already passed from 5 to 8% in 2014) to restore the state coffers and to meet the greater welfare expenses due to an ever older population. Last but not least, the damage caused by the two typhoons that hit the country between September and October and which caused a total of 69 deaths. The trade war between the USA and China also weighs heavily on the performance of the Japanese GDP, which certainly does not favor the free movement of goods and services. Theoretically, the increase in VAT would have been offset by other measures, given that Abe had made a maneuver with over 100 billion euros to be used to cut taxes. And now, with the arrival of the coronavirus, there is only one more reason to be pessimistic. Due to the epidemic, The Chinese tourists (who are the first in Japan) have drastically decreased, not to mention the fact that numerous Japanese companies, including Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, have suspended their production in Chinese factories. A closure is due not only due to fears of contagion but also, like the case of a Nissan plant in Fukuoka prefecture, to the delay in the arrival of some components from China. Still, Japan's economy is the third-largest in the world, after the US and China: there are numerous private companies - called keiretsu - and they are excellent in numerous sectors, from banks to cars, to microelectronics. The problem is that exports have also fallen exponentially. And despite the agreement between the US and China and Brexit, there are no clearings on the horizon. "Exports are likely to collapse again this spring," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at the Norinchukin Research Institute, citing a recovery in global semiconductor demand. "Trade is unlikely to serve as the main driver of growth this year due to the economic slowdown in the United States and China," Minami added. In particular, exports to China, Japan's largest trading partner, grew by 0.8% in the year up to December. Driven by the demand for equipment for the production of chips, cars, and plastics. It was the first annual increase in 10 months. Shipments to the United States, the country's number two trading partner, fell by 14.9% year-on-year in December - the fifth consecutive month of decline - dragged down by cars, auto parts, and aircraft engines. Finally, exports to Asia, which represents more than half of Japan's total shipments, declined 3.6% in the year through December. For its part, the central bank (BoJ), last week at its first monetary policy meeting in 2020, decided to leave its monetary policy unchanged. The central institute led by Haruhiko Kuroda awaits the effects of the government's stimulus policy, while it instead revised its GDP estimates upwards. For the fiscal year 2019-2020, the economy is expected to expand to +0.8 % from + 0.6% in October. And for the 2020-2021 period, it is forecast at + 0.8% from the previous + 0.7%. According to those in charge of the Bank of Japan, solid domestic demand should help offset the weakness of exports and manufacturing activity, although uncertainties remain about trade relations between Washington and Beijing. As for the result of GDP, the Abe administration and the Bank of Japan expected a lower impact of the tax increase compared to the experience of 2014, when the economy recorded a decline of over 7%. In short, a backlash on consumption was expected but not of this magnitude. Also, because this time, the increase in taxes was more contained, food products were exempted, and the government adopted a series of countermeasures aimed at mitigating fluctuations in demand. But economists have said that some of the government's measures, such as discounts on spending through cashless transactions, have had limited impact as they have not attracted an older segment of the population unaccustomed to mobile payment platforms. The latest data show that private consumption fell by 11% year-on-year in the quarter, as households reduced purchases of cars, cosmetics, and household appliances. In 2014 the drop had been 18%. What will happen next with the coronavirus? "We will continue to pay attention to the effect of the virus on tourism and the economy in general," Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said in a statement. "Depending on the level of emergency, we will take the necessary measures flexibly and respond fully." Meanwhile, there are already many cancellations of the visits of hundreds of thousands of Chinese tourists to Japan at the beginning of the Japanese Olympic year. Thus affecting an important source of revenue. The longer the outbreak disrupts Japan's main trading partner's production and domestic demand, the more likely Japanese exporters will be affected. The Bank Of Japan has also signaled its concern about the virus. It is also likely to stress the need for further data to assess the underlying trend. Given the growing side effects of its massive easing schedule and the relative stability of the Japanese currency, economists believe further bank action is unlikely in the near future. The central bank has, however, already cut overnight interest rates to minus 0.1 percent and is, however, reluctant to do more for fear of negative side effects on the banking system. After the launch in December of a stimulus plan for the economy for 120 billion dollars, the economists are now considering an encroachment to combat the effects of the coronavirus. Effects not yet quantified but nonetheless certain, and which will be even more felt on an economy already in difficulty even before the virus hit. It seems pretty obvious that you are going to have severe economic repercussions when you lockdown and quarantine cities with millions of people. And not just in China but in every nation that depends on China. But have no fear. Governments will just steal more money and run up more debt to make the stock market investors happy. This is what you reap when one country controls so much of the economy of the world. No one can compete with China. Not even Japan. So a virus comes along with no cure insight, and it hits the country producing and exporting the most commodities of anyone at a price no one else can compete with. Even Japan cannot produce goods cheaper than China, and they are very good at the competition. The American corporations and businesses created the Chinese superpower, simply because they didn't want to pay American workers American wages. That's why China is a superpower now; plain and simple. We were stabbed in the back by our own businesses and corporations, and the cowards in Congress that allowed the free trade deals, both democrats and Republicans. While it may be bad news for Wall Street, that usually translates into good news for Main Street. Sure, the shelves may be a little bare, for perhaps even a prolonged period of time. We survived it before globalization, and I'm sure we can survive a pullback. In fact, it may even be for the better, as alternative supply lines can be developed. This was The Atlantis Report.

👉 Jim Rickards : 1984 Has Come to China -- Economic Collapse 2020 4K

Jim Rickards : 1984 Has Come to China -- Economic Collapse 2020 4K You’re probably familiar with George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. It was written in 1948; the title comes from reversing the last two digits in 1948. The novel describes a world of three global empires, Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, in a constant state of war. Orwell created an original vocabulary for his book, much of which is in common, if sardonic, usage today. Terms such as Thought Police, Big Brother, doublethink, Newspeak and memory hole all come from Nineteen Eight-Four. Orwell intended it as a warning about how certain countries might evolve in the aftermath of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. He was certainly concerned about Stalinism, but his warnings applied to Western democracies also. When the calendar year 1984 came and went, many breathed a sigh of relief that Orwell’s prophesy had not come true. But that sigh of relief was premature. Orwell’s nightmare society is here today in the form of Communist China…

Stock Markets Crashing - Italy And South Korea Shutting Down , Gold Surging !!

Stock Markets Crashing World Wide. In the US we saw the third-largest single-day point drop in the stock market history. Italy is being Isolated in Europe. Venice Carnival canceled. The Giorgio Armani Fashion Show canceled. Tourism Industry Collapsing. The Economy engine of Italy, which is the northern part of the country, is being shut down. The North counts for 40 percent of the Italian exports and 50 percent of the GDP. The Italian economy is melting down. The Italian government is racing to contain the biggest outbreak of the virus in Europe, imposing restrictions on about a hundred thousand people and shutting down public gatherings in two regions of northern Italy. With two new cases reported today from southern and central Italy. Italy's northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto have closed schools, universities, museums, and cinemas for at least a week. Police are manning checkpoints around 11 towns which have been quarantined for 15 days, and residents are stockpiling food. Public places like theaters and movie theaters, pubs, and clubs need to close at six o'clock in the evening and open up at six o'clock the following morning. Supermarket shelves are becoming empty. Italian officials confirm seven deaths. And there is still no news about who could be the patient ZERO. In northern Italy, the number of coronavirus cases continues to surge. Even though at least ten hotspot towns are effectively under lockdown. Police check vehicles trying to enter one of the quarantine towns authorizes only trucks carrying essential goods, and medical supplies to go through. Everyone else is turned away in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Ironically, Italy being the only European country to ban entry from Chinese nationals and anyone who's been in China... is the one hit hardest by the virus. In the rest of Europe and in the world, fewer cases were recorded just because no country is doing as many checks as Italy is doing. But this doesn't mean that the virus is not already next to you. It has been around the world for weeks. I just cannot believe that Italy is hit harder by the corona than countries like Canada ,The US, and Australia, where millions of Chinese live. How many coronavirus death are reported just as simple flu or pneumonia casualties? That's the danger with this virus, especially that people can spread the virus BEFORE they get ill themselves and show signs of being infected. Yes, the authorities might slow the spreading but ,stop it. NO WAY. That would require people to stop traveling, meeting, and shopping. The virus won't be stopped until they find a CURE, ORE ALL PEOPLE GROW RESISTANT. This is a worldwide pandemic, why is it taking them so long to admit it. I think the worse is still to come. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. Please take some time to subscribe to my two back up channels. I do upload videos there, too, on a daily basis. You'll find the links in the description box. Thank You. Fears are growing that the coronavirus outbreak could become a pandemic as new cases are reported around the world. The virus, which emerged in China, has spread to at least 35 countries. The World Health Organization has said the world should do more to prepare for a possible coronavirus pandemic. The worst-hit countries are intensifying their efforts to contain the deadly coronavirus as the number of cases globally surpassed 80,000. In South Korea, infections have risen again, taking the total to 977. Americans have been warned against all but essential travel to the nation. Italy and Iran are both battling to contain outbreaks of the virus. In Japan, shares slumped on Tuesday, reacting to a global plunge on Monday sparked by fear of further outbreaks. Fears are growing that it won't be possible to stop the global spread of Coronavirus. Health experts have warned that the chances of containing it are diminishing as cases appear in more countries. Most infections are still in China, but significant clusters in South Korea, Iran, and Italy are causing concern. Italy has Europe's worst coronavirus outbreak, the third-highest in the world after China and South Korea. In Milan, the Duomo Cathedral that's withstood 500 years is now closed. Schools and universities are shut off, and in supermarkets, panic is spreading quicker than the virus, and it is too is hard to stem. IS CORONAVIRUS The BLACK SWAN for the Italian Economy. THE REAL RISKS FOR THE ITALIAN ECONOMY CAUSED BY THE PANIC OF THE EPIDEMIC ARE INCalculable. LOMBARDY ALONE IS WORTH 22% OF GDP AND CANNOT BE KEPT LOCKED FOR LONG. WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE MANUFACTURING, TOURISM, AND LUXURY, WHERE THE CHINESE SUPPORT IS FUNDAMENTAL. THE ECONOMISTS DAMAGE THE DISCOUNT THAT EVEN THE FIRST 2020 WILL BE NEGATIVE, WHICH MEANS TECHNICAL RECESSION AND A SCREENING OF -1% THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ... The technical recession took almost for granted after the -0.3% of the fourth quarter and 2020 going towards negative growth, with estimates between -0.5% and -1%. These are the first data provided by economists on the impact of coronavirus infections in Italy. If the situation does not resolve itself quickly, a 1% drop in GDP this year is "plausible." SO THE ECONOMY ALREADY PAYS THE PRICE OF UNCERTAINTY AND HEALTH PSYCHOSIS. To get some clarification on what could happen in Italy downstream of the epidemic from Covid-19, that is, on the real risks to the Economy triggered by an irrational panic, perhaps it would be useful to consult Richard Thaler, one of the masters of behavioral economics. But without getting to a Nobel prize perhaps (for now), just remember the theory of the "Black Swan," the unforeseen event that upsets everything, from production to the Stock Exchange. To understant what happens in the North of Italy that is pulling an already weak GDP. We must look at the behavior of people. Yesterday morning Milan was no longer Milan. Empty streets, obviously due to the closure of schools and universities. But also because people avoided meeting places, but not the supermarkets. Between Saturday and Sunday, crowds of citizens poured into the large markets, stormed, and continuously supplied. Resulting in empty shelves, especially those of canned food, as if you imagined having to stay at home for a long time (among other things, on the web, they run fake videos on false closings for a month). These images made the tour of Italy, not without effects, even in Rome: the shelves are empty. This is only the last mile of collective behavior that for a month has already concerned masks and hand sanitizer, down to supplements, all hunted first in pharmacies then on the net. A chain effect of overlap of events and an avalanche of comments, which chased each other with the decisions of the authorities, trigger a media-political circuit that at the beginning and for a while was a source of serious confusion. It was not clear who had to make the decisions and especially what decisions. But in the meantime, the psychological effect has started and slowly Milan has emptied and turned into a ghost town since yesterday afternoon.All closed or almost closed. Not just offices, schools, and universities. There are no students in the nightlife areas near Cadorna or near the Navigli. There are no cinemas, the meeting points of the usual aperitifs, the bars for after work, and above all a great absentee. The Scala Theater is locked for the whole week. The cancellation of fairs and events followed one another. The Milan prosecutor has closed the offices to the public while the activity of the Municipality of Milan continues, even if behind closed doors. At the few meeting points, people comment on the difficulty of going to work without schools and kindergartens were to leave children. And they will be the ones missing this week, that of the Ambrosian carnival, which would have colored the streets and entertained with parties in every square of Milan until next Sunday. No masquerades this year. In these hours, the controversy among the most prominent virologists has a bitter taste, especially between the well-known Roberto Burioni, pro-vax superstar, and Maria Rita Gismondo, laboratory manager of the Sacco di Milano, the heart of the Lombard emergency, the flagship of European virology. Two different visions on how to judge the effects of the phenomenon - and can only judge those who have the titles, it is always said - that have contributed in no small way to disorientate the citizens, who mostly do not detach themselves from smartphones indirect news on the source of the virus. The fourth quarter of 2019 had already closed with a negative sign, and as regards the first quarter of 2020, it is presumable to believe that it will be the same, thus bringing the country technically into recession, since it will have recorded two quarters with negative growth. The impact of the spread of the coronavirus in Italy, until now limited to the northern regions, will undoubtedly be very important on the economy of the country . The fact that the most important regions in the contribution to the gross domestic product have been affected will obviously have an even more negative effect on this scenario. What we currently do not know exactly is the size of this impact, although the very first estimates speak negative growth for the first quarter of between 0.5% and 1% annualized. In fact, today a large part of the country's production and commercial activities are stopped; with consequences that are certainly still very uncertain. For example, we think of the consequences on tourism, and therefore the picture will be clearer only in the coming weeks, when however we hope that the situation will have stabilized or will hopefully be improving, underlines the analyst. European and of the Italian stock markets collapse, cannot, therefore, be considered as a surprise, given the succession of negative news and the drastic measures taken by the Italian government in an attempt to stem the spread of the virus. The sentiment of investors in the very short term is destined to remain negative on the global price lists, and therefore not only on the domestic one, given the situation of enormous uncertainty. The contagions have also increased in other countries, not only in Italy, and we cannot obviously exclude that other European countries may also register a much higher number of infected people than the current one. Volatility is therefore destined to remain high and to be closely related to the news that will be communicated day by day. Just as we can expect volatility to remain high on the Italian stock market, the same can be said to happen for Italian government bonds. In a more medium-term perspective, however, we remember that the decidedly accommodative monetary policy of the ECB (European Central Bank) can represent an obstacle to the excessive widening of the spread, together with the fact that the search for yield in a world with negative rates especially in the euro area, it could be of advantage to the BTP when, hoping it will be very soon, the situation will have improved. The only positive note is from the gold side. The price surges today to 1,635 dollars an ounce. And prices are expected to go way higher in the foreseeable future. Do Not forget that I warned you that gold is the only safe haven in this kind of situation. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

The Housing Market is CRASHING in 2020

The Housing Market is CRASHING. The warning signs are everywhere. Foreclosures are ticking up, bankruptcies slowly increasing, subprime auto about to go critical, add in credit card debt, government overspending causing property taxes to rise, and banksters going nuts. Then you have the formula for nice, sweet 30% correction at a minimum in prices in the hot markets; in some cases 50%. Nationwide, housing peaked in late 2017. Prices have been falling ever since . The bubble has popped, folks... Harry Dent is back predicting property prices will "fall 50%". Harry is absolutely right. Double bubble real estate is one of the top ten biggest ripoffs in the world today. Stay away from bubble real estate at all costs. All a house is is some drywall and two by fours, and a lot of headaches. What a laugh. But warning the real estate players they are in a bubble is like telling smokers that smoking causes lung cancer (90% of lung cancer deaths are in smokers)."Smoking will kill you" is printed right on every pack. And yet they don't listen. The smokers just keep right on smoking because they are so very addicted to it--they like that nicotine buzz--just like the RE players are addicted to that easy free money for doing nothing. Greed has blinded participants in this (and most other) markets for about the last five years. With the reduction in capital expenditures, refrigerator boxes are in high demand. Prices fell 40%+ during the last minor correction, and the Fed couldn't prevent it.

World Economy Collapsing , Stock Market Crashing Because of The Coronavirus Outbreak

World Economy Collapsing , Stock Market Crashing Because of The Coronavirus Outbreak

For more than a decade, the global economy has steadily grown quarter after quarter, but it looks like that streak is about to come to a very abrupt ending. The coronavirus outbreak in China has brought the Chinese economy to a virtual standstill, and as a result critical supply chains are in a state of chaos all over the world. And since it doesn’t look like the Chinese economy will be able to return to normal for an extended period of time, it appears that a worldwide economic slowdown is imminent. I warned about this the other day, but now we have even a clearer picture of what is happening. According to Capital Economics in London, this coronavirus outbreak will cause the global economy to shrink this quarter, and that will be the very first time this has happened since 2009… The economic casualties from China’s coronavirus epidemic are mounting as Asian and European auto plants run short of parts, free-spending Chinese tourists stay home and American companies brace for unpredictable turbulence. That’s just the start of a financial hangover that is expected to linger for months even if the flulike illness is soon brought under control, economists and supply chain experts say. The Chinese epidemic’s aftereffects will likely cause the global economy to shrink this quarter for the first time since the depths of the 2009 financial crisis, according to Capital Economics in London. And if the global economy shrinks for two quarters in a row, that will officially meet the definition of a “global recession”. So here we are on the verge of the worst economic downturn in more than a decade, and even if this outbreak miraculously ended tomorrow it would still take quite an extended period of time for global supply chains to return to normal. In particular, the auto industry has been hit extremely hard…

Global Debt Bubble Getting Worse -- Economic Collapse - Stock Market Crash

Global Debt Bubble Getting Worse -- Economic Collapse - Stock Market Crash

Bank of America short while ago calculated that since the collapse of Lehman, government debt has intensified by $30Trillion, corporates debt by $25 Trillion, household by $9 Trillion, and financial debt by $2 Trillion. And with central banks awaited to support government debt, Bank of America warns that the biggest recession risk is disorderly rise in credit spreads and corporate deleveraging. From its side the IMF is warning that the world debt rises to 226% of GDP. Low rates fuel the risks. Expansive monetary policies have saved growth but push investors towards riskier and less liquid assets. Debt growth continues inexorably, especially in emerging countries. World debt reached 226.5% of GDP in 2018 and continues its inexorable growth, at a breath of 188 trillion dollars, according to preliminary estimates released on Wednesday 16 October by the IMF, during the press conference for the presentation of the Fiscal Monitor. The IMF then warns against the side effects of ultra-low rates: the difficult hunt for yields pushes investors, including insurance and pension funds, towards riskier and less liquid assets. Even for the non-financial sector, then, supervisory tools such as those introduced for banks are needed, the Fund warns in the Global Financial Stability Report, also released . Eight thousand billion dollars. Put like this they seem unreal numbers. From comics. But they are real numbers. According to the latest research by the Institute of International Finance (IIF), public and private debt globally in the first quarter of 2019 alone increased by this figure: by 8 thousand billion dollars. This is the largest quarterly increase since the first quarter of 2016, which brings global debt to the figure of 247 thousand billion dollars. A mountain equal to 318% of the GDP of the whole world. These numbers are the effect of a decade of ultra-expansionary monetary policies, which have increased global liquidity and brought interest rates to zero (or even below zero) in many parts of the world. This has favored everyone's use of debt: businesses, states and families.

Global Crop Failures locusts In Africa , Worst Crops in Australia -- Economic Collapse 2020

Global food production is being hit from seemingly every side. Thanks to absolutely crazy weather patterns, giant locust armies in Africa and the Middle East, and an unprecedented outbreak of African Swine Fever in China, a lot less food is being produced around the world than originally anticipated. Even during the best of years we really struggle to feed everyone on the planet, and so a lot of people are wondering what is going to happen as global food supplies become tighter and tighter. The mainstream media in the United States is so obsessed with politics right now that they haven’t been paying much attention to this emerging crisis, but the truth is that this growing nightmare is only going to intensify in the months ahead. In Australia, conditions have been extremely hot and extremely dry, and that helped to fuel the horrific wildfires that we recently witnessed. And everyone knew that agricultural production in Australia was going to be disappointing this year, but it turns out that it is actually going to be the worst ever recorded…

👉Jim Rickards Warns : Coronavirus Slams Chinese Economy -- Economic Collapse 2020

Jim Rickards Warns : Coronavirus Slams Chinese Economy -- Economic Collapse 2020 How bad is the coronavirus pandemic in China? It’s worse than the Chinese government knows and worse than the world believes. Here are the official statistics on the coronavirus (technically COVID-19) as of today: There are 75,685 confirmed infections worldwide, with 98% of that total in China alone. Of those cases, 82.5% are in the single province of Hubei, mostly centered in the city of Wuhan, with 11 million residents. Coronavirus has reached pandemic proportions in China. Over 60 million people are locked down, which means they cannot leave their homes except once every three days to buy groceries. Streets are empty, stores are closed, trains and planes are not operating. The Chinese economy is slowly grinding to a halt. These statistics barely scratch the surface of what is happening with coronavirus in China. There is good reason to believe that the actual incidence of the virus may be five–10 times the official numbers.

Peter Schiff: Printing Money Is Not the Cure for Cononavirus

Peter Schiff: Printing Money Is Not the Cure for Cononavirus

In his most recent podcast, Peter Schiff talked about coronavirus and the impact that it is having on the markets. Earlier this month, Peter said he thought the virus was just an excuse for stock market woes. At the time he believed the market was poised to fall anyway. But as it turns out, coronavirus has actually helped the US stock market because it has led central banks to pump even more liquidity into the world financial system. All this means more liquidity — central banks easing. In fact, that is exactly what has already happened, except the new easing is taking place, for now, outside the United States, particularly in China.” Although the new money is primarily being created in China, it is flowing into dollars — the dollar index is up — and into US stocks. Last week, US stock markets once again made all-time record highs. In fact, I think but for the coronavirus, the US stock market would still be selling off. But because of the central bank stimulus that has been the result of fears over the coronavirus, that actually benefitted not only the US dollar, but the US stock market.” In the midst of all this, Peter raises a really good question. The primary economic concern is that coronavirus will slow down output and ultimately stunt economic growth. Practically speaking, the world would produce less stuff. If the virus continues to spread, there would be fewer goods and services produced in a market that is hunkered down. Why would the Federal Reserve respond, or why would any central bank respond to that by printing money? How does printing more money solve that problem? It doesn’t. In fact, it actually exacerbates it. But you know, everybody looks at central bankers as if they’ve got the solution to every problem. They don’t. They don’t have the magic wand. They just have a printing press. And all that creates is inflation.” Sometimes the illusion inflation creates can look like a magic wand. Printing money can paper over problems. But none of this is going to fundamentally fix the economy. In fact, if central bankers were really going to do the right thing, the appropriate response would be to drain liquidity from the markets, not supply even more.” Peter explained how the Fed was originally intended to create an “elastic” money supply that would expand or contract along with economic output. Today, the money supply only goes in one direction — that’s up. The economy is strong, print money. The economy is weak, print even more money.” Of course, the asset that’s doing the best right now is gold. The yellow metal pushed above $1,600 yesterday. Gold is up 5.5% on the year in dollar terms and has set record highs in other currencies. Because gold is rising even in an environment where the dollar is strengthening against other fiat currencies, that shows you that there is an underlying weakness in the dollar that is right now not being reflected in the Forex markets, but is being reflected in the gold markets. Because after all, why are people buying gold more aggressively than they’re buying dollars or more aggressively than they’re buying US Treasuries? Because they know that things are not as good for the dollar or the US economy as everybody likes to believe. So, more people are seeking out refuge in a better safe-haven and that is gold.” Peter also talked about the debate between Trump and Obama over who gets credit for the booming economy – which of course, is not booming.

Dump the Dollar before Bank Runs start in America -- Economic Collapse 2020

2020-02-21T19:25:00.001-08:00

We are living in crazy times. I have a hard time believing that most of the general public is not awake, but in reality, they are. We've never seen anything like this; I mean not even under Obama during the worst part of the Great Recession." Now the Fed is desperately trying to keep interest rates from rising. The problem is that it's a much bigger debt bubble this time around , and the Fed is going to have to blow a lot more air into it to keep it inflated. The difference is this time it's not going to work." It looks like the Fed did another $104.15 billion of Not Q.E. in a single day. The Fed claims it's only temporary. But that is precisely what Bernanke claimed when the Fed started QE1. Milton Freedman once said, "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program." The same applies to Q.E., or whatever the Fed wants to pretend it's doing. Except this is not QE4, according to Powell. Right. Pumping so much money out, and they are accusing China of currency manipulation ? Wow! Seriously! Amazing! Dump the U.S. dollar while you still have a chance. Welcome to The Atlantis Report. And it is even worse than that, In addition to the $104.15 billion of "Not Q.E." this past Thursday; the FED added another $56.65 billion in liquidity to financial markets the next day on Friday. That's $160.8 billion in two days!!!! in just 48 hours. That is more than 2 TIMES the highest amount the FED has ever injected on a monthly basis under a Q.E. program (which was $80 billion per month) Since this isn't QE....it will be really scary on what they are going to call Q.E. Will it twice, three times, four times, five times what this injection per month ! It is going to be explosive since it takes about 60 to 90 days for prices to react to this, January should see significant inflation as prices soak up the excess liquidity. The question is, where will the inflation occur first . The spike in the repo rate might have a technical explanation: a misjudgment was made in the Fed's money market operations. Even so, two conclusions can be drawn: managing the money markets is becoming harder, and from now on, banks will be studying each other's creditworthiness to a greater degree than before. Those people, who struggle with the minutiae of money markets, and that includes most professionals, should focus on the causes and not the symptoms. Financial markets have recovered from each downturn since 1980 because interest rates have been cut to new lows. Post-2008, they were cut to near zero or below zero in all major economies. In response to a new financial crisis, they cannot go any lower. Central banks will look for new ways to replicate or broaden Q.E. (At some point, governments will simply see repression as an easier option). Then there is the problem of 'risk-free' assets becoming risky assets. Financial markets assume that the probability of major governments such as the U.S. or U.K. defaulting is zero. These governments are entering the next downturn with debt roughly twice the levels proportionate to GDP that was seen in 2008. The belief that the policy worked was completely predicated on the fact that it was temporary and that it was reversible, that the Fed was going to be able to normalize interest rates and shrink its balance sheet back down to pre-crisis levels. Well, when the balance sheet is five-trillion, six-trillion, seven-trillion when we're back at zero, when we're back in a recession, nobody is going to believe it is temporary. Nobody is going to believe that the Fed has this under control, that they can reverse this policy. And the dollar is going to crash. And when the dollar crashes, it's going to take the bond market with it, and we're going to have stagflation. We're going to have a deep recession with rising interest rates, and this whole thing is going to come imploding down. everything is temporary with the fed including remaining off the gold standard temporary in the Fed's eyes could mean at least 50 years This liquidity problem is a signal that trading desks are loaded up on inventory and can't get rid of it. Repo is done out of a need for cash. If you own all of your securities (i.e., a long-only, no leverage mutual fund) you have no need to "repo" your securities - you're earning interest every night so why would you want to 'repo' your securities where you are paying interest for that overnight loan (securities lending is another animal). So, it is those that 'lever-up' and need the cash for settlement purposes on securities they've bought with borrowed money that needs to utilize the repo desk. With this in mind, as we continue to see this need to obtain cash (again, needed to settle other securities purchases), it shows these firms don't have the capital to add more inventory to, what appears to be, a bloated inventory. Now comes the fun part: the Treasury is about to auction 3's, 10's, and 30-year bonds. If I am correct (again, I could be wrong), the Fed realizes securities firms don't have the shelf space to take down a good portion of these auctions. If there isn't enough retail/institutional demand, it will lead to not only a crappy sale but major concerns to the street that there is now no backstop, at all, to any sell-off. At which point, everyone will want to be the first one through the door and sell immediately, but to whom? If there isn't enough liquidity in the repo market to finance their positions, the firms would be unable to increase their inventory. We all saw repo shut down on the 2008 crisis. Wall St runs on money. . OVERNIGHT money. They lever up to inventory securities for trading. If they can't get overnight money, they can't purchase securities. And if they can't unload what they have, it means the buy-side isn't taking on more either. Accounts settle overnight. This includes things like payrolls and bill pay settlements. If a bank doesn't have enough cash to payout what its customers need to pay out, it borrows. At least one and probably more than one banks are insolvent. That's what's going on. First, it can't be one or two banks that are short. They'd simply call around until they found someone to lend. But they did that, and even at markedly elevated rates, still, NO ONE would lend them the money. That tells me that it's not a problem of a couple of borrowers, it's a problem of no lenders. And that means that there's no bank in the world left with any real liquidity. They are ALL maxed out. But as bad as that is, and that alone could be catastrophic, what it really signals is even worse. The lending rates are just the flip side of the coin of the value of the assets lent against. If the rates go up, the value goes down. And with rates spiking to 10%, how far does the value fall? Enormously! And if banks had to actually mark down the value of the assets to reflect 10% interest rates, then my god, every bank in the world is insolvent overnight. Everyone's capital ratios are in the toilet, and they'd have to liquidate. We're talking about the simultaneous insolvency of every bank on the planet. Bank runs. No money in ATMs, Branches closed. Safe deposit boxes confiscated. The whole nine yards, It's actually here. The scenario has tended to guide toward for years and years is actually happening RIGHT NOW! And people are still trying to say it's under control. Every bank in the world is currently insolvent. The only thing keeping it going is printing billions of dollars every day. Financial Armageddon isn't some far off future risk. It's here. Prepare accordingly. This fiat system has reached the end of the line, and it's not correct that fiat currencies fail by design. The problem is corruption and manipulation. It is corruption and cheating that erodes trust and faith until the entire system becomes a gigantic fraud. Banks and governments everywhere ARE the problem and simply have to be removed. They have lost all trust and respect, and all they have left is war and mayhem. As long as we continue to have a majority of braindead asleep imbeciles following orders from these psychopaths, nothing will change. Fiat currency is not just thievery. Fiat currency is SLAVERY. Ultimately the most harmful effect of using debt of undefined value as money (i.e., fiat currencies) is the de facto legalization of a caste system based on voluntary slavery. The bankers have a charter, or the legal *right*, to create money out of nothing. You, you don't. Therefore you and the bankers do not have the same standing before the law. The law of the land says that you will go to jail if you do the same thing (creating money out of thin air) that the banker does in full legality. You and the banker are not equal before the law. ALL the countries of the world; Islamic or secular, Jewish or Arab, democracy or dictatorship; all of them place the bankers ABOVE you. And all of you accept that only whining about fiat money going down in exchange value over time (price inflation which is not the same as monetary inflation). Actually, price inflation itself is mainly due to the greed and stupidity of the bankers who could keep fiat money's exchange value reasonably stable, only if they wanted to. Witness the crash of silver and gold prices which the bankers of the world; Russian, American, Chinese, Jewish, Indian, Arab, all of them collaborated to engineer through the suppression and stagnation of precious metals' prices to levels around the metals' production costs, or what it costs to dig gold and silver out of the ground. The bankers of the world could also collaborate to keep nominal prices steady (as they do in the case of the suppression of precious metals prices). After all, the ability to create fiat money and force its usage is a far more excellent source of power and wealth than that which is afforded simply by stealing it through inflation. The bankers' greed and stupidity blind them to this fact. They want it all, and they want it now. In conclusion, The bankers can create money out of nothing and buy your goods and services with this worthless fiat money, effectively for free. You, you can't. You, you have to lead miserable existences for the most of you and WORK in order to obtain that effectively nonexistent, worthless credit money (whose purchasing/exchange value is not even DEFINED thus rendering all contracts based on the null and void!) that the banker effortlessly creates out of thin air with a few strokes of the computer keyboard, and which he doesn't even bother to print on paper anymore, electing to keep it in its pure quantum uncertain form instead, as electrons whizzing about inside computer chips which will become mute and turn silent refusing to tell you how many fiat dollars or euros there are in which account, in the absence of electricity. No electricity, no fiat, nor crypto money. It would appear that trust is deteriorating as it did when Lehman blew up . Something really big happened that set off this chain reaction in the repo markets. Whatever that something is, we aren't be informed. They're trying to cover it up, paper it over with conjured cash injections, play it cool in front of the cameras while sweating profusely under the 5 thousands dollar suits. I'm guessing that the final high-speed plunge into global economic collapse has begun. All we see here is the ripples and whitewater churning the surface, but beneath the surface, there is an enormous beast thrashing desperately in its death throws. Now is probably the time to start tying up loose ends with the long-running prep projects, just saying. In other words, prepare accordingly, and Get your money out of the banks. I don't care if you don't believe me about Bitcoin. Get your money out of the banks. Don't keep any more money in a bank than you need to pay your bills and can afford to lose.

Hillary Clinton's Top Secret Files Revealed Here

2017-02-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

The FBI released a summary of its file from the Hillary Clinton email investigation on Friday, showing details of Clinton's explanation of her use of a private email server to handle classified communications. The release comes nearly two months after FBI Director James Comey announced that although Clinton's handling of classified information was "extremely careless," it did not rise to the level of a prosecutable offense. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the next day that she would not pursue charges in the matter. "We are making these materials available to the public in the interest of transparency and in response to numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests," the FBI noted in a statement sent to reporters with links to the documents. The documents include notes from Clinton's July 2 interview with agents, as well as a "factual summary of the FBI's investigation into this matter," according to the FBI release. Throughout her interview with agents, Clinton repeatedly said she relied on the career professionals she worked with to handle classified information correctly. The agents asked about a series of specific emails, and in each case Clinton said she wasn't worried about the particular material being discussed on a nonclassified channel.
