By David Hearst, August 27, 2020

By Peter Koenig, August 26, 2020

We know by now that nothing of this, face masks, social distancing, quarantine, lockdown, vaccination, or any other repressive measure have anything to do with covid.

Why? Because those policies have varied in their timing and implementation across countries and states, but the trends in outcomes do not.

Global Capitalism, “World Government” and the Corona Crisis

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, August 27, 2020

The COVID-19 crisis is marked by a public health “emergency” under WHO auspices which is being used as a pretext and a  justification to triggering a Worldwide process of economic, social and political restructuring. Social engineering is being applied. Governments are pressured into extending the lockdown, despite its devastating economic and social consequences.

By Anthony Hall, August 26, 2020

The termination of the regulatory framework put in place by the Glass Steagall Act opened much new space for all kinds of experiments in the manipulation of money in financial markets.  They developed all sorts of ways of elaborating their financial services and presenting them in new packages.
