"Both economies, the United States' and China's, continue to struggle—trapped in antiquated growth models that are not delivering the prosperity that politicians and leaders continue to promise. In these circumstances it is far easier to assure one's constituents that they are not to blame than to tell them to lower their expectations and make sacrifices. True to the pathology of codependency, it is especially easier to blame one's problems on foreigners than on oneself." ~ Stephen Roach, 2014

ECONOMY & FINANCIAL MARKETS

Story #1: The Push to Replace Currency with One-World Technocracy

The push for one-world technocracy—and the end of currencies—has escalated. In the short term, Covid-19 is helping the dollar syndicate keep the dollar system going until the pieces are in place to get a new control system up and running—essentially a slavery model that would control people through a revocable "credit at the company store." Cryptocurrency fans have a hard time understanding that digital currencies are not only insecure but are precisely where Mr. Global wants to go. It is also hard for some to grasp how vaccines fit into the picture, but as we watch Bill Gates lobby to make the "Mark of the Beast" and ID2020 fashionable, it is clear that the heavy-metal-laden injectables and nanotechnology implants that he funds (disguised as "vaccines") are an intended part of the control grid. Gates' "claim to fame" is rumored to be giving the intelligence agencies a back door to everyone's computers. Now, with injectable and implantable "operating systems," the goal is a back door to everyone's body and brain—and regular "updates."

There are many tantalizing questions about the pandemic's origins. Did Harvard chemistry department chair Charles Lieber (the now-arrested nanotech and brain-machine interface expert to whom the Wuhan lab was paying a small fortune for we know not what) play a role? What about Gates' large research investments in China? Do events in Wuhan represent an experiment gone wrong? Another question is whether Covid-19 is the product of some kind of combinational technology (biowarfare + electromagnetic warfare) that may allow a "virus" to be activated or turned on and off. Considering that 5G was developed by the Israelis and Americans as a crowd control weapon, this is not far-fetched. The bottom line: We each face a choice between slavery and freedom.

Story #2: The Red Button Is Pushed with the Medical Cartel; The Central Banks and Treasury Stimulus Flows

As the Treasury and central bank stimulus—mostly for financial institutions and corporations—grows by leaps and bounds (see the Solari Report "Stimulus Tracker") and central banks take reserve requirements to zero, is a "cut and run" underway? We saw significant and brazen insider trading just prior to the pandemic. Moreover, with the destruction of the small business economy happening on a global scale, and FASAB-56-enabled secrecy surrounding U.S. budgets and appropriations, there is certainly plenty of capacity to steal and piratize. The people who can't fathom that this is a highly manipulated "pandemic"—and who can't see that unemployment and supply chain vulnerabilities will kill more people than any virus—haven't been paying attention to the years of prototyping. We've seen "epidemics" in every election cycle since the financial crisis and decades of disaster capitalism. The good news is that this is an opportunity for Main Street to rebuild bottom-up—including strengthening local food systems and issuing community currencies—and to stop buying Mr. Global's stocks and products. Another piece of good news is that people are digging into and poking holes in the mainstream narrative like never before.

A key question is whether we are on the brink of a new energy system. With breakthrough energy and breakthrough health care (think back to the discoveries of Royal Raymond Rife), the planet could be highly economic—but we need to solve our governance problem. We cannot allow those who govern to do psychopathic things like separate babies from their mothers at birth "to protect against coronavirus." People need to push back against the destruction of individual sovereignty and families. As Season Two of Yellowstone showed us, psychopaths get away with doing what they do because "nobody ever fights back."

Story #3: Plandemic Winners & Losers – Disaster Capitalism Rock & Roll

Walmart and Amazon are some of the clear winners, with more and more retail being reengineered into an online-plus-delivery model. What a coincidence that for several years leading up to 2020, large Amazon-type warehouses started sprouting up all over the United States. Other industries—such as travel, tourism, and the airlines—have not been so fortunate. What are we to infer from the steps that companies like Boeing have been taking—such as drawing down its line of credit and offering early retirement to all of its 161,000 employees? Does Boeing believe that air traffic is going to be substantially reduced from here on out? Why did Goldman Sachs—which has a history of making remarkably accurate "predictions"—tell its private clients that GDP would rebound in the third quarter? In the public sector, there are murmurings about the potential demise of the postal service. Does Mr. Global want to get rid of all analog communication? Outside the U.S., the global contraction is doing serious damage to the economies of oil producers, many of whom are "de-dollarizers" (again, what a coincidence). The West used the "oil card" to bring down the Soviet Union three decades ago. Is the forced drop in oil prices another indicator of an imminent energy system reset (particularly if we factor in details such as the Rockefellers presumably divesting themselves of fossil fuel investments a few years ago)?

Story #4: The AI Superpowers Rebalance the China Trade

The Covid-19 pandemic appears to have been tailor-made to strike a geopolitical and economic blow at China and the Silk Road project, including significantly weakening Xi Jinping's regime. In 2019, China—the world's largest pork market—lost at least a third of its pigs to African swine fever. With the pandemic, China is becoming even more of a net-food-deficit country than it already was, leaving it more dependent on the U.S. and the Anglo-American alliance and imports for food. (See Solari's discussion of food insecurity in the 2016 Annual Wrap Up: The Global Harvest and What It Means to Investors.) Meanwhile, Russia suspended its aid to Iran for the buildout of the Iranian rail network, distancing itself from both Iran and China. With Putin's reengineering of his cabinet and government last year, it looks like Russia is preparing itself for tougher times ahead.

Story #5: No Place to Go: Round-Up on Equity, Fixed Income, Real Estate, Precious Metals Markets

Looking at a falling stock market, a volatile fixed income market, and the dramatically lower credit quality of post-FASAB 56 Treasuries, one can understand why investors were complaining in the first quarter that they had "no place to go." Meanwhile, how is the real estate market supposed to work if the world's small businesses and most household incomes are shut down? In the precious metals market, gold has been up for the year—the best performing class other than Amazon and Zoom stocks. However, it appears that Mr. Global is making a considerable effort to keep gold prices from skyrocketing—and dealers around the world are telling investors that if they want their gold, they have to cash out and get dollars instead. Are governments like Germany's tamping down on gold sales because they want the gold for their central banks?

Story #6: Mr. Global Pushes the Red Button – Test Run or Cut-and-Run?

Does Covid-19 represent invisible biowarfare technology that can be "turned on" at will? There are decades of research, especially by the Soviets, into electromagnetic applications of biowarfare. Think about the coronavirus critics—the Navy Captain (Brett Crozier) who sounded the alarm for his crew, Rand Paul who voted against the stimulus bill, Boris Johnson who had not intended to lock down the UK—who suddenly tested positive. Also, how are we to interpret the activation of "continuity of government" plans and the retreat of senior Pentagon staff into underground bunkers? With the call-up of one million reservists, is a covert war about to transition to a hotter war?

With the Abe government's announcement of a Japanese space force and its open pursuit of space "superiority," we are seeing the further militarization of space and, in all likelihood, the further development of weaponry even more powerful than nuclear weapons. Right now, however, Japan still depends on on-the-ground oil supply lines. If it wants to develop solar plants in the sky, it has to have the space capability to protect them militarily. As the coronavirus situation complicates the Russia-China relationship, we may see Russia and Japan drawing closer together. Russia has oil, and Japan is an engineering juggernaut—notably of the high-quality, high-speed rail technology that could help Russia build out its Trans-Siberian Railroad. Interestingly, Russia responded to coronavirus very quickly, closing its borders within the blink of an eye, while Japan never locked down at all.

Story #7: Cracks in the United States, European Union, and Global System

Bearing in mind that Europe is the dollar syndicate's number-one competitor, the days of Cold War American support for the European project may be over—and perhaps vice versa. At about the time that Mr. Global had the "shriek-o-meter" going full tilt about the pandemic, 27,000 American troops went to Europe for a major NATO operation, briefly joined by European troops (about 40,000 in all, with no travel restrictions or social distancing). Unprecedentedly, after a few days the Europeans stood up to the U.S., shut the exercise down, and told the Americans to leave.

Internally, is the coronavirus crisis making the EU's contradictions more apparent and accelerating a breakup? For example, how can the EU maintain an open border policy at the same time that each European nation is implementing its own policies with respect to coronavirus restrictions? There are also signs that the productive people in Europe are sick of overregulation and technocracy. Italian ministers are replacing the EU flag with the Italian flag, French "yellow vest" protesters are burning the EU flag, and—perhaps most significantly and intriguingly timed—the German constitutional court struck down as "unconstitutional" Germany's adherence to the EU Unified Patent Court. A worldview that recognizes biophysics and culture understands that diverse cultures (or "morphogenic fields") will produce vastly different economies, but Mr. Global doesn't tend to pay attention to culture. Mr. Global thinks he can biochip and mind-control his way out of such complexities and into one-world government, but history suggests that freedom eventually will prevail.

Story #8: War on Main Street

As of early April, 10 million new unemployment claims had been filed, and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin was telling Congress that it could go up to 33 million or more. [Note: By June, the number of unemployment claims filed since March was up to about 45 million.] Insultingly, the portion of the stimulus bill marketed as support for Main Street was loans—our money—that stick recipients with interest payments while generating generous loan fees for banks. Meanwhile, companies like Johnson & Johnson get $1 billion grants. It's time to remind legislators about the $65,000 per person in missing money.

When reports began trickling in that places like Walmart had stopped selling seeds (designating them as "nonessential"), it became clearer than ever that everyone needs to focus on local food resiliency—whether growing food themselves or networking with local farmers. Many are also focusing on becoming more responsible for their own safety and getting ready to fight if need be; even those who had no interest in firearms a year ago are now buying guns and learning how to use them.

Story #9: The Drumbeats of War

The Covid-19 pandemic is highlighting what happens when society becomes lawless. We have had 70 years of "anything goes," and the result is a mess. Signs of factional warfare and "win-lose" scenarios are evident everywhere. What is frightening is that war (covert or hot) can easily spin out of control, especially if one considers the secret weapons that different factions likely have at their disposal. The Israelis are at the head of the pack in terms of electromagnetic weaponry and low-grade biological warfare. ("Coincidentally," just when Netanyahu's career looked like it was finally over and even The Financial Times agreed that he was finished, the pandemic happened and—"it's a miracle"—Netanyahu was back in the game.) In this environment, it is especially important to remember that financial systems are a reflection of the governance system. If there is no law—and no equal application of the law—then every sovereign bond on the planet can end up being worthless. Remember, too, that cryptocurrencies are not a real currency; just think about the meaning of the words "crypt" (where a dead person gets buried) and "crypto" (meaning "hidden"). Do we want a "credit at the company store" model where the company can change the value of our holdings if it doesn't like our behavior, or play us against one another?

Story #10: Blindfold Officials and Citizens: Secrecy and Spin Grow

The pandemic appears to have accomplished a number of goals related to the U.S. presidential campaign, including getting rid of Bernie Sanders, taking the spotlight off of Joe Biden (including his dementia and Ukraine improprieties), sidelining President Trump's rallies, and, most crucially, preventing Americans from getting together and talking about what is really going on—including the missing money. A brokered Democratic convention is possible, and it seems likely that Biden will pick a female running mate (following Obama's advice) who could be ready to take over shortly after the election. Another question is, will there be a real election at all? The Democrats are promoting mail-in voting, which many recognize as a recipe for fraud on a massive scale. The aim seems to be for everything to happen on controlled and surveilled systems that allow AI to manage the narrative.
