P IS FOR PANDEMIC (AND O) IS FOR ORWELLIAN





"Don’t look now but you’ve been screwed again... They will run patriotic commercials, while sticking a red white and blue dildo up your ass..."

Those in charge never let a crisis go to waste. 9/11 was used to pass the Patriot Act and initiate nineteen years of declared and undeclared wars in the Middle East to create chaos, empower Israel, and abscond with the oil of sovereign countries.

The 2008/2009 crisis, created by the Fed and their Wall Street banker proprietors, was used by the powers that be to abscond with trillions in national wealth, while further enslaving senior citizens in poverty and forcing the working middle class further into debt servitude. Bernanke, Yellen, Geithner and a myriad of other banker flunkies have been richly rewarded for their traitorous actions by their Wall Street brethren, with tens of millions in compensation for their duty and honor to the cabal.

The men who created the 2008/2009 global financial collapse through their mortgage fraud scheme, used fear and panic in the markets to force the feckless pathetic bought off congress apparatchiks to pass TARP and dozens of other ridiculous “bailout bankers” schemes to provide a façade of recovery. There was never a recovery. The unpayable debt was papered over with trillions more of unpayable debt, until something snapped in September 2019.

The first half of this twenty year, or so, Fourth Turning was ushered in by the 2008/2009 financial collapse and the subsequent disastrous solutions implemented by the ruling class in order to preserve their wealth, power and control. The taxpayer bailout of Wall Street should have been called NO BANKER LEFT BEHIND

The masses have been indoctrinated through government schools and propagandized by the captured corporate media to such an extent, they have been convinced abnormality and pillaging by the ruling class are both normal and acceptable. The world added $90 trillion of debt between 2000 and 2008, over a 100% increase. Bernanke, Yellen, Powell and their other central bank co-conspirators said hold my beer and added another $90 trillion since the first debt created crisis

The Himalayan mountain of debt now stands at $253 trillion, or 322% of global GDP. Rogoff and Reinhart proved countries whose debt surpass 90% of GDP always proceed towards crisis and currency debasement.

GLOBAL DEBT HITS A RECORD HIGH


Our very own CDC “experts” tell us the country has already experienced 38 to 54 million flu infections since October, with a half million hospitalizations, and at least 24,000 deaths, so why weren’t our hospitals overwhelmed? I know this is a serious virus, but the scare tactics being utilized by our overseers, corrupt politicians and their corporate media propaganda outlets is beyond excessive, and reveals a far more nefarious purpose.

Did we need to purposely create a global depression in order to defeat this virus? Will the benefits outweigh the cost? Is this health crisis being used by the monied interest swine to again gorge themselves at the taxpayer trough, robbing the public, while persuading them it’s for their advantage? The “conspiracy theorists” among us, who have been proven correct time after time over the last decade, know the answers to these questions:  

This is a controlled demolition by the powers that be as cover for their fraud, criminal schemes, and looting of the national treasure.

Recovery!!  … FOR US!

“To rob the public, we must first deceive it. The trick consists in persuading the public that the theft is for its advantage; and by this means inducing it to accept, in exchange for its property, services which are fictitious, and often worse.”
 – Frederic Bastiat

Only in a suicide cult, which our country has become, would the majority support and cheer for a corporate lobbyist written $2.2 trillion 873-page windfall to bankers, connected mega-corporations, and every special interest imaginable.  

This doesn’t even account for the $4 trillion of secret payoffs and behind the scenes shenanigans of the Federal Reserve, as they do their part to support their banker owners once again. And just to make sure none of their despicable acts will see the light of day, the ruling class slipped in little clause titled:

SEC. 4009. TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT IN THE SUNSHINE ACT RELIEF. 

We’ve shirked responsibility for our own lives by believing the very same people who didn’t see the crisis coming, weren’t prepared, and have failed miserably to centrally control the situation. We’ve given them the power over our lives and we are being led towards the slaughterhouse. It was our choice. We let fear overcome reason and courage.

"Nearly 50 US companies have suspended existing share repurchase authorizations in the past two weeks, representing $190 billion of buybacks or nearly 25% of the 2019 total."

According to Goldman's Buyback Desk, "nearly 50 US companies have suspended existing share repurchase authorizations in the past two weeks, representing $190 billion of buybacks or nearly 25% of the 2019 total."

And, since buybacks have represented the single largest source of US equity demand in each of the last several years...

According to Goldman, with corporate fundamentals deteriorating, share repurchases are likely to be reduced this year, providing less support to equity demand:

CORRUPTION is worse than COVIT-19
ON:
The Hedge Fund Myth..
At:
by Tyler Durden  Sun, 03/29/2020

Perhaps the time has come to rename "hedge funds"
to "bailed out funds"?

In effectthe Fed was bailing out not one but dozens of LTCM-like funds which had all ended up on the wrong side of an extremely popular basis trade, but a handful of funds were exposed the most. To wit, as we explained last December, "hedge funds such as Millennium, Citadel and Point 72 are not only active in the repo market, they are also the most heavily leveraged multi-strat funds in the world, taking something like $20-$30 billion in net AUM and levering it up to $200 billion. They achieve said leverage using repo." See chart

And then came the Fed's bailout of everything, including billionaire hedge fund managers, as it unleashed an unprecedented series of actions to inject liquidity into markets coupled with Congress’s promise of a $2 trillion economic stimulus package. That combination boosted markets this week - at least temporarily. U.S. stocks had their best three-day run since the 1930s before falling again on Friday.

This existential shock was the greatest fiscal and monetary bazooka. Fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said in an interview on Thursday with CNBC. “It’s not even a bazooka -- it’s more like a nuclear bomb." [This is corruption top level ]

In the meantime, as part of its nationalization of capital markets, by Friday the Fed had bought $1 trillion worth of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities since the launch of "QE-Unlimited", the same amount they bought over eight months during the global financial crisis.  See Chart:

The biggest beneficiary of all this?
Not the economy or the middle class, but the trio of hedge funds which has shown in the chart above. They have regulatory assets of roughly half a trillion dollars among them, and which managed to quietly offload position that could have otherwise forced their liquidation, a la LTCM.

"This is a once-in-a-generation type of event."

Thia went from bad to an outright disaster earlier this week when Goldman, Vitol, and the IEA all raised their estimate for daily oil oversupply to an unthinkable 20 million barrels per day, as a result of the collapse in oil demand as the global economy grinds to a halt coupled with Saudi Arabia's determination to put all of its higher-cost OPEC peers out of business.

Bloomberg explains the situation succinctly: " when crude supplies overflow storage tanks and pipelines as the coronavirus pandemic drags down oil demand by the most in history."

West Texas Intermediate crude in the heart of the Permian shale region plunged to $13.01 a barrel, the lowest since 1999. Meanwhile, West Canada oil is just $5 away from turning negative.  See Oil Price:

"The world is producing 20 million barrels of oil too much every day", or said otherwise there is no demand for roughly 20% of global output every single day. At this rate, how long before all the storage in Cushing, ARA and China is overflowing and every single tanker in the world is full?
And what happens to the oil price then? One thing is certain - there will be blood.
