Standing at the Precipice of a Financial Collapse: Time for a 21st Century Pecora Commission

Published 2020-03-16 20:24:07 by Matthew Ehret in Anglo-5, Defense, Finance, Headline-News, United-States

As Republican and democrat politicians hold emergency meetings to decide how to avoid a meltdown of Wall Street, the smell of hyperinflation looms in the air as much today as it did in Germany during the opening months of 1922. This week, markets were propped up by a record breaking offering of $1.5 Trillion in liquidity injections over the coming months (added to the $9 trillion already injected over the past six months), and rather than deal with the real reasons for this oncoming financial collapse, the media has brainwashed the west that everything would have been just fine, “if only coronavirus had not become a...

Published 2020-03-16 20:21:11 by Drago Bosnic in Anglo-5, Headline-News, United-Kingdom

LONDON - The worldwide coronavirus pandemic, specifically the epidemic in the United Kingdom could last until next spring and could lead to 7.9 million people being hospitalized, a secret Public Health England (PHE) briefing for senior British National Health Service (NHS) officials revealed. The document, seen by The Guardian, is the first time health chiefs tackling the virus have admitted that they expect it to circulate for another 12 months and lead to huge extra strain on an already overstretched NHS. It also suggests that health chiefs are braced for as many as 80% of Britons becoming infected with the... Continue ->

FLORES: Who Won the Sanders vs. Biden Debate & How Would We Ever Even Know?

Published 2020-03-16 19:51:16 by Joaquin Flores in Anglo-5, Headline-News, Opinions, United-States

Has the Coronavirus cancelled American Democracy? CNN hid the DNC candidate’s debate from the American people in the best way it knew how – it aired it strictly on CNN and has only made Biden-friendly snippets available on YouTube and its own website. If we missed it, we’d never see the real debate replete with Biden’s gaffes. Does anyone even watch TV anymore? Not like that, they don’t: only 44% of American people even have cable, and the demographic is skewed over to the 55+ crowd. This means that CNN’s debate was intentionally aimed at shoring up support among the very over-achieving-yet-low-information... Continue ->

Saudi Aramco Reveals Whopping 21% Profit-Drop for 2019 – Even Before Latest Oil Crash

Published 2020-03-16 19:29:50 by Drago Bosnic in Anglo-5, Eurasia, Headline-News, Mena, Nato, Politics, Russia, Syria, United-States, Yemen

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia’s state-run oil giant Saudi Aramco announced a sharp drop in its 2019 profit, falling well below expectations and coming a week after an oil dispute between Moscow and Riyadh sent oil prices plunging. The report, published by Aramco, showed that the company’s full-year 2019 net profit amounted to $88.12 billion, down by almost 21 percent from $111.1 billion the year before, RT reported. The projected figure appeared to be well below analysts’ expectations; they’d projected the oil giant could earn around $92.6 billion. The company itself explained the losses, citing “lower crude oil prices and production... Continue ->

Coronavirus Panic may be what brings major upward wealth redistribution – Hanne Nabintu Herland

Published 2020-03-16 19:25:04 by Guest Author in China, Eu, Eurasia, Headline-News, Norway, Opinions, United-Kingdom, United-States

By Hanne Nabintu Herland - from the Herland Report The panic of Corona may be the very psychological element that brings about a major restructuring of international ownership. 60-80 % of the population will get the Corona virus, says British authorities. And 650 000 people die yearly of a regular influenza, according to the WHO. So, why does the media push such panic over Corona, but not over regular flus that kill hundreds of thousands more? The Corona has so far proven to deliver way fewer deaths than most other early influenzas, compared to Chinese numbers. We will all get it, almost. Yet, the psychology of the... Continue ->
