Catherine’s Money & Markets Report: February 20, 2020

1. Catherine….what better way to get rid of the elderly and the babies that are not “producing” for the communists(and the politically non-correct)of the world! What better way to produce bio-warfare viruses than to do it out in the open; and then try to finish off the rest of the non-comliant public with a vaccine loaded with God knows what else,..AND destroy the economy at the same time. There is someone with much money behind all this….not an accident, but it will affect all who buy and sell, and save and invest if it keeps up.

   1. My understanding is that the annual flu kills babies and elderly, but this coronavirus just 60+. If this is the case, then as they did, their capital drops to their children and grandchildren and they stop drawing retirement benefits on the system if they have them. If you do not balance pension funds financially or by raising the eligible age, then you must balance it by hitting a wall or lower life expectancy. This is why I thought it was an emergency in the early 1990’s – we have to get government money on a positive ROI, we had to get the pension funds in balance for the boomers and we have to get boomer productivity up for globalization. In face, Hamilton’s transactions and tools proved to me that it could be done – with dramatic wealth creation.

      That was when you could have turned the air craft carrier. We did not turn it – we bubbled the economy and sucked massive capital out. So now we hit the wall. Terror campaigns threatening pandemics and demanding experimental vaccines that override the Nuremberg principles is a marketing campaign designed to maintain control when you hit the wall.

      If you look at the wealth that will be created by space investment and breakthrough energy it is dramatic. But the people in charge do not want to share it – particularly with people who are 60+. As I have said for many years, they took a look at trillions of boomer capital and said “Lets preserve it for space and the integration of new technology, and not waste it on nursing homes. “

3. It was mentioned that Sweden has moved away from negative interest rates, it’s still not much better at 0%. Here’s a brief overview of how it looks from the ground for consumers in the world’s most modern country.

   Most banks do not handle cash and neither do many shops. If you do find a bank that takes cash and try to deposit it, they will demand receipts. Cash deposits over $1,000 are by default considered laundered funds and generally denied. Most daily, private payments are handled over an app that is owned collectively by the large banks.

   Mortgages are generally adjustable rate 1.5% with 15% down. Amortization down to 70% over 7.5 years, down to 50% over an additional 20 years. Then just interest payments. You can not walk away from a mortgage and bankruptcy is rarely allowed.

   The rental market is completely disfunctional due to rent controls. A reform 15 years ago eliminated the subsidies that made the market somewhat feasible. Many of the few rental units coming to market are given to refugees by municipal governments. Most young people and people who need to relocate are pushed into buying property. There is a huge difference in price between big cities and the small towns that look like Appalachia with shuttered houses and factories.

   If you go to the bank for a mortgage you are encouraged to “save” money with the bank and are given information about the dozens of mutual funds that they offer. Some index funds don’t even have fees, what could be better?

   “No one” finds any of this strange, but a lot of people think the system has made them rich. The people left out are just deplorables who aren’t clever enough to get a job in Stockholm anyway. Oh, and they’re all racists! Heard it before?

   1. Financial methadone. Kills the spirit, communication and mind. Some happy in a trance. Ugh.

      1. It’s difficult to find like minded people because people can’t deal with any challenge to their trance.

         I forgot to add that banks have increasingly been refusing loan repayment. If customers sell of an asset or receive a large amount of money and try to pay off their loan, the banks can consider the payment money laundering and refuse it. They usually demand documentation, but it is not always enough. This has been widely reported, but without any useful information. Can an economy function without good faith in business?

         1. Ultimately no. If you have links reporting any of this, would love to post- whether English or Swedish.

4. FWIW… making no claims about the veracity of this… but I can attest to the reality of structured remote viewing as a method of “seeing”. Dabbled with it years ago, and made my own hair stand up viewing a blind target, when I looked at my results vs the target.

   I only occasionally mull through Rense.com… but ran across this earlier today… take or discard it as you see fit:

5. Catherine,

   Thanks for the update on the virus.

   The thing that had me thinking was Mr. Global and his minions built up China to be the super power it is today. So why would they want to bring it down? After studying a few of Rudolf Steiner’s lectures I realized these are destructive forces. They don’t care. They can bring down and build up whatever they want when they need it.

   Their ultimate goal is to turn humanity into robots and control them inside and out.

   I’m a productive person and don’t believe in being wasteful. It took me a while to get it.

   1. Najat and Catherine, Was thinking that the mafia that runs mr. global’s finances got angry at china for not allowing them to physically move in and take over, as they have done in the USA and UK in the 20th century, and that they decided to destroy what they created because now they can, as Catherine, you pointed out. I suspect they don’t really give a rat’s patootie about the difficulty of major corporations doing biz in china. The banksters sit at the head of the table, right?

6. You may have already put this up somewhere, Catherine…

   RFK Jr. tells a super compelling story within the first 15 minutes, that will shut down any pro-vaxer’s standing on ignoring the insanity of the U.S. vaccination schedule.

   “KENNEDY & BIGTREE: THE INTERVIEW”

   https://youtu.be/Xeqa9Fsf-Lg

   1. Yes, Great interview. Reposted and retweeted last night.

   2. Yes. This is a great one. It is in this week’s Special Solari Report with Mary Holland – publishes today. I also sent in for posting in News Trends and Stories and tweeted out. It is scheduled for Top Videos in 1st Quarter Wrap Up 2020. If you are reading this, it is a MUST WATCH.

7. The US Embassy issued a Level 4 – do not travel alert for China. this basically means: do not travel to China; if in China, leave; if you stay, stockpile food + necessities and stay indoors. The Thai consulate has told Thai citizens a similar thing, those who do not need to be in China should leave by March 2nd. When questioned as to why this order was coming out given that it seems the confirmed cases are going down, the Thai consulate rep said some quarantine measures may be imposed which could be unpalatable for foreigners.

   Can you buy surgical face masks where you are?

   1. Don’t know. I have some. My understanding, however, is that they are not effective other than not spreading the coronavirus if you have it.

      1. The N95 to N99 masks have some efficacy, but they MUST BE FITTED PROPERLY.

         If you look at them, there is a thin aluminum strip over the nose fit on these masks. The mask should be put on and positioned, and then the metal strip must be bent to force fit the shape to the contour of the nose bridge so it closes off any open space.

         Eye’s must be protected as well, as they allow systemic exposure to any infectious agents as well. even though these masks do offer some protection, they are for when you MUST put yourself in potentially risky environments. If you are heavily exposed, even wearing protective gear, the longer your exposure the higher the likelihood of infection. Levels of protection vary… and even wearing a full negative air-feed suit carries significant risk of infection upon removal. Steering clear is the way to go.

         There is a little upside to the surgical mask… they tend to remind people not to be putting their fingers on their face.

         One of the best things people can do to dramatically lower exposure to surface virus exposure, is DO NOT touch your face with your hands.

         It occured to me last week (because NOTHING surprises me anymore), that triggering a cascading event that would sufficiently thrash the U.S. and global economy, if it facilitated Trump losing the election, would dramatically benefit China. The Chinese only settled on “Phase 1” when American media started reporting on Trumps re-election prospects looking pretty good (…another discussion, but that’s far from certain, no matter what anyone says).

         I have seen 2 or 3 videos which cam out of China, showing people spitting on, and otherwise wiping their bodily fluids on elevator button panels and doorknobs.

         A country like China could make the creation of asymptomatic carriers a trivial matter. They can easily weaponize human carriers of a disease, making them “super-spreaders”.

         It is entirely possible, someone in China is running an operation, or even someone in the permanent administrative state in the U.S., running an operation, to crash the global economy, and take attention off of the malfeasance of FBI/DOJ/CIA/Intel apparatus of the U.S., in their effort to take out Trump… “…and for other reasons”, as the phrase is frequently used in American legislation! LOL!

         1. The scenarios are endless. Given the protection this has offered the dollar and US markets, hard to imagine that it was started by the Chinese.

      2. M-95 masks

         https://modernbeyond.com/products/coronavirus-n95-filter-mask?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxIjx15Dm5wIVA9vACh1KNANHEAAYASAAEgL3VfD_BwE

         1. Home Depot was where I bought N95 masks with an exhaust valve…

            The above linked site is a bit mercenary… given that I bought 6 masks at Home Depot last week, for less than 1 of the ones you linked.

            I would encourage folks to shop Home Depot for N95 masks… and Nitrile gloves can be acquired nearly anywhere.

            Also… keep in mind… one of the most powerful things you can do, is wash your hands with soap and running water… wash and rinse faucet knobs with soap and water while you scrub your hands… and do not touch your face with your hands.

8. Agreed, the coronavirus is certainly a convenient opportunity to kill cash. Since this would involve going entirely to contactless, digital payment systems, does this mean illicit drugs are going to become legal? Not sure how else the proceeds from them would work their way back into the banks.

   1. If so, what is your opinion of marijuana being used to initially create the legal and retail framework?

      1. Not sure I understand what you mean.

         Legalizing marijuana means it is easier to use the cash flows to fund state and local government overtly – you also have more ways of clearing people off the land without marijuana drug busts – those were significant numbers for the last 20 years.

         Clearly the marijuana drug busts were significant for building the control train tracks and private prison industry. Along with crack cocaine, meth, etc. Where I live my understanding is that illegal marijuana is the primary source of pain management for people with no health insurance.

         I am a libertarian by nature – the less laws the better. I have seen the marijuana plant and its products used well for numerous purposes and some designed to do much harm to others. My impression it is like any other powerful substance. It requires good education and a healthy culture to use it for maximum benefits.

         Like many other things.

         1. Certainly the potential benefits of marijuana / CBD are hard to ignore. I should have been more specific:
            Assuming that illicit drugs are purchased in cash, moving to digital currency would make transactions have a digital trail. To keep the game going, wouldn’t it be necessary to legalize narcotics? The retail and legal framework has been tested with marijuana.

   2. Right now they work their way back into the banks with no problem – My impression is that was one of the reasons they used government accounts to do it. They had set up the money laundering rules on the mortgage flows so that companies that were publicly traded and government accounts did not have to file CTRs – my guess is that some of the publicly traded companies were operating under the DOJ-CIA MOU as contractors to one of the agencies – just a guess.
