The ECB spent over 10 years buying sovereign bonds from insolvent (yes, insolvent) countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal as well as toxic mortgage and other debt from banks all across the EU, including those in Germany.

And much to the Author’s chagrin perhaps, the bailouts to banks by the US taxpayer went ALSO to European banks including Deutsche Bank, UBS, and others.

This is but a sliver of what was done FOR the debt-ridden countries and financial institutions of Europe but it gives you an idea of how much this author has chosen to ignore.

The basic premise of the piece, however, that covid was done as a plausible way to 1) slow down US economy and cause a flight to safety and 2) provide an excuse for massive Fed injections into the system to keep it afloat – that is definitely likely.

Governments are obsolete when Big Business does what it does, Trampling all over the people.

This article was hard to read and concentrate on; it is full of bad grammar and use of punctuation. Was ‘stella’ used for ’stellar’ perhaps?
Even though the premise was interesting, I struggled to get through it.

Hey Tim. Go get Hasbara training in CoVid1984 to improve your dis-info.
Oh wait! Israel is ‘LOCKED IN”.

The SARS-CoV-2 “virus” has never been isolated using Koch’s Postulates from a victim ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

“vulnerable to China’s financial sabotage”

Completely justified in my opinion.
I am in Canada! I have been BDS both U$A and Israel. The compromise is food.
Canada refuses to engage in food security, upholding sovereignty on its resources, even the sovereignty of its citizens.

We deserve to enjoy the effects of ‘financial sabotage’.

Russia isn’t far away, and China won’t have to go to war.

Precious metals are NOT edible.
Precious metals are an ‘ABSTRACTION”, invented by human thought.
You ‘think’, but you are not. But you ‘are’, even when you do not think.

I agree with you. I have been getting ‘flak’ from parents when I tell their kids they don’t have to wear masks, as that is harmful to them. I am 61, and the generation after us is so poorly educated that no matter the credentials they may have accumulated they are so gullible!

On the door of my business, a sign reads:

“Illegitimus Non Carborundum”.

The only two people that understood what the Latin means are street people of +50 years, We are now friends, just because we all understand what we’re up against. Not only do the ‘credentialled’; teachers, doctors, engineers, money manipulators, not understand the Latin, but cannot for the life of them consider the even circumstances what the English translation alludes to. The most common answer is along the lines of “the government are us, and won’t hurt us”; which I add, “You are in the economic class where the economy is accessible to you, but not 70-80% of the working population. Why do only YOU count?”
