Just a thought, it seems all the dissent sites talk about George Soros as if he has an endless source of money. Tens of millions to this Leftist group, then the same to another. It must add up. Wikipedia says that he is worth US $ 8.3, but that would not be in a bank deposit, no doubt it would be tied up in all sorts of clever financial ways that would not make it super-liquid. So, surely Soros must be the front man, the public face of some that lurk in the shadows. It would therefore be interesting to find out who is backing Soros, if even he knows. And, why is there never any money for our side of politics, everything having to be done by chook raffles and the like? Can a war really be won like that? Or, is that simply the nature of the Beast, and I mean Beast, Biblically.

“Progressive billionaire George Soros’s philanthropic organization — Open Society Foundations — announced Monday that it will donate $220 million to groups focused on “racial justice.” The organization plans on investigating $150 million alone into five-year grants for organizations aimed at achieving equal statistical outcomes between demographic groups in economics and criminal justice. The other $70 million is said to be going toward “more immediate efforts to advance racial justice.” Groups expected to receive funds include Black Voters Matter and Repairers of the Breach. “It is inspiring and powerful to experience this transformational moment in the racial justice movement,” said Open Society Foundations president Patrick Gaspard. “We are honored to be able to carry on the vital work of fighting for rights, dignity, and equity for oppressed people the world over started by our founder and chair, George Soros.”

“The State of California is now less than 90 days away from a financial collapse that can only be averted by acquiring new sources of loans or dramatically slashing government-funded services in health care, pensions, welfare and education. The cracks of financial insolvency are starting to show, and Newsom has no plan that doesn’t lead California into anarchy and destitution. In a desperate effort to delay the financial collapse, Newsom has ordered the state’s EDD to delay unemployment checks for as many months as it takes to preserve the state’s rapidly-dwindling funds. The Mercury News reports that nearly 2 million Californians have yet to receive unemployment checks covering the first three months of the coronavirus lockdowns, which began in mid-March:

“Yesterday, democrat hopeful Joe Biden delivered a speech in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, and announced his ‘economic’ plan for the United States. The politician, who’s held office for nearly five decades, explained that suddenly ‘now’ he has answers that he never had before, and this time, he will end “shareholder capitalism.” “It’s way past time to put the end to the era of shareholder capitalism. The idea the only responsibility a corporation has is its shareholders — that is simply not true, it’s an absolute farce. They have a responsibility to their workers, their community, to their country,” Biden bafflingly explained. In place of “shareholder capitalism,” Biden proposed a more inclusive system built on the power of labor unions and on “black, brown, and Native American” communities that he said had been left out of economic prosperity. Much of his speech was devoted to criticizing President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus. Biden claimed (falsely) that Trump told Americans to “drink bleach” to fight the disease. Biden, addressing a small, socially-distant group of workers and journalists at the McGregor Industries metal works facility, said that he would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% (from 21%, where Trump lowered it in the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017).”

“The wealth of the top 1% has soared during lockdown, but the booming fortunes of tech billionaires like Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon's Jeff Bezos reveal deep faultlines in society. The coronavirus pandemic has directly cost some 500,000 lives. But the damage it has wreaked on the world economy will cost many more. In America, the unemployment rate in April was 14.7%, up from just 4.4% in March. In real terms that’s at least 44 million people laid off. Between March 29 and April 4 alone, 6.6 million Americans registered as unemployed. More than 27 million Americans stand to lose their employer-provided healthcare coverage as a result of the pandemic, at a time when they might need it most. But it’s not affecting all Americans equally. The wealth of the very richest has soared during the pandemic. America's top five billionaires – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison – enjoyed a 26% surge in their wealth since the outbreak began. Between them they’ve gained over a hundred billion dollars. Amazon’s business has been booming with most of America cooped up at home and according to figures from Forbes, boss Jeff Bezos is worth 38.6% more – an extra $43.7 billion – between March 18 and June 17.

“The global influence of the Chinese Communist Party both economically and militarily is one of the most concerning stories so far in the 21st century. Despite years of human rights abuses, currency manipulation, dishonest trade practices, and threats to democracy, the Chinese communist government has been able to grow its economy and influence throughout the world at a breathtaking pace. The current COVID-19 pandemic, and the global economic upheaval it has created, has exposed China as the reckless, dishonest member of the global community that many of us knew them to be. The outbreak in Wuhan and the communist government’s efforts to keep this quiet have led to a global catastrophe. National security advisor Robert O’Brien suggested that this cover up delayed the global response to COVID-19 by two months while the Chinese government allowed its own people to continue traveling to Wuhan and abroad, infecting the world. A study from Southampton University in England found that if China had acted sooner, the damage could have been mitigated by 95 percent. This is staggering when looking at the lives lost and the economic turmoil created. Instead of alerting the world, the Chinese government silenced its doctors, forbidding them from sharing information which could have spared so many lives. This negligence is compounded by the fact that China either failed or refused to follow the rules imposed by the World Health Organization following an outbreak of SARS in 2003 - the last time China gifted us with a global pandemic.

     Clearly, this is not going to end well:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8474819/Nearly-half-U-S-population-without-job.html

“Nearly half of the U.S. adult population is without a job, as the number of Americans filing for unemployment remains high and reopening in several states is slowed because of high levels of new coronavirus cases. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment-population ratio for May 2020 shows that just 52.8 percent of the adult population was employed last month. This means that 47.2 percent of adult Americans are jobless despite a surprising surge in jobs in May. The employment-population ratio highlights the number of employed people as a percentage of the U.S. adult population, creating a broader picture of the rate of employment across the country. While the unemployment rate only includes those actively looking for a job, this ratio accounts for those not in the labor force and those discouraged about their prospects of finding a job. The labor force only includes about 60 percent of the U.S. adult population. May's ratio figures showed a massive plunge from the 61.2 percent employed in January 2020. It had increased slightly from 51.3 percent in April. It is also far below the record post-war high of 64.7 percent in 2000 as experts warn that up to 30million jobs will have to be created to get it back to its peak.”

  https://theconversation.com/amp/retirement-age-is-increasing-but-our-new-study-reveals-most-only-work-ten-years-in-good-health-after-50-141227

“Though we’re living longer, this doesn’t necessarily mean our health will allow us to work for additional years. Healthy working life expectancy tells us the average number of years people in a population are likely to be healthy and in paid work from the age of 50. Healthy working life expectancy focuses on working life after age 50, which is when health problems (such as common age-related diseases, including pain or mobility issues) can make it difficult for people to continue working or find a job that fits their needs. Our study of healthy working life expectancy found that on average, people in England can expect to be healthy and in work for almost nine and a half years after age 50. However, these years are not necessarily lived consecutively as people may temporarily leave work or experience health problems. These findings came from data on 15,284 people aged over 50 in England who were interviewed several times from 2002 to 2013. Compared to the national average, healthy working life expectancy is higher for men (10.94 years) and lower for women (8.25 years). We also found that healthy working life expectancy is higher for people in non-manual or self-employed occupations (such as office workers) than those in manual occupations (such as electricians or care workers). It also increased alongside education level. People also tend to have longer healthy working lives in the south compared to the north of England. This reflects the worse health and economic conditions typically seen in the north. The amount and type of jobs available regionally also influence differences in healthy working life expectancy, as people who cannot find a job that suits them won’t be able to continue working. We also split the population into five equal-sized groups based on deprivation. We found that the people living in the least deprived areas tended to stay healthy and in work for almost four years longer (10.53 years) than those living in the most deprived areas (6.80 years).

     I am in fear and trembling about writing about economics since I always get it wrong, you know, I think that national and personal debt is a problem, but that is conventional thinking. Ok, I plead ignorance. But, there are a lot of other ignorant people out there that are worried, so this might be of interest, although the experts might want to move on going back to their differential equation models of their economy.
  https://affirmativeright.blogspot.com/2020/09/a-warning-of-economic-collapse.html

“Traditional Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson’s latest missive should be a wake-up call for those who naively believe that the worst is behind for the US and Western economies after the March financial sell off and the long-anticipated implosion of the bubble economy. His Excellency asserts that the US and much of the world are on a financial precipice: At this moment the United States has been brought to the brink of a tremendous economic crisis, and with the USA, the rest of the world. Bishop Williamson contends that it has not only been the response to the virus, but more importantly, the response to the bursting of the financial bubble, created by the Fed, which will ultimately lead to a cataclysmic collapse: By 2019 as the public was more and more hooked on fantasy money, the Fed’s public balance sheet took off into complete unreality, seven trillion dollars and counting, and it is now crashing the real economy with the corona-panic, then ‘paying’ the crash debts that everybody gets into with its unreal trillions, but turning the whole world into real slaves. The bishop’s brief analysis of the history of the Fed is right on as he explains that the central bank has been the engine of monetary mischief since its inception: These money men had promised that the Fed . . . would solve the problem of reoccurring economic crises. . . . It did nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it made them even worse, like the Great Depression of 1929 and the years following, and now the Depression of the 2020s which risks making 1929 look like a picnic, and risks stripping the United States of its prosperity and enslaving its liberty by making all American citizens into debt-slaves. The middle class will soon be no more. One quibble: Bishop Williamson rightly sees the problem of the money supply controlled by “private individuals” (central banksters): It is not normal for private citizens to control their State’s money because they risk doing so in their own interests, and not for the common good. Yet, the alternative – State control – is no better and, under “democratic conditions,” maybe even worse considering the State’s horrific record in the debasement of money, the creation of booms and busts, hyperinflations, the destruction of savings, etc.”

     For the globalists, everything is an opportunity for social control. Say a giant killer asteroid about the size of Jupiter was heading for the Earth, and would strike in 24 hours. In fact, the gravitational forces would have ground up the Earth to cosmic dust long before that, but for the purposes of this exercise, ignore it. Pretend we are doing climate science. Well, I imagine that the elites would squeeze out the last drops of social control, just as the planet was ending. Nothing holds back the truly insane.

“Huge foreign loans are given to sovereign nations by the World Bank, IMF and the likes. But the conditions that come attached to these loans are seldom told by governments to their citizens. A recent case in Belarus has exposed the conditions laid by these agencies for loans being provided for COVID-19. The President of Belarus has exposed that the World Bank coronavirus aid comes with conditions for imposing extreme lockdown measures, to model their coronavirus response on that of Italy and even changes in the economic policies which he refused as being “unacceptable”. Additional conditions which do not apply to the financial part are unacceptable for Belarus, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said when speaking about external lending during a meeting to discuss support measures for the real economic sector on the part of the banking system, reported Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA.”

     I covered this one in an article last week, as Paul Keating (remember him?) gave us the news that there would be a HECs type of scheme for aged care, but no death tax. Well, guess what? Read on:
  https://amp.news.com.au/finance/money/tax/seniors-could-be-asked-to-sell-family-home-under-death-tax/news-story/5a4ff412e013eb5a9787cc5f6cb8f4ff

“Baby Boomers could be asked to sell the family home when they die to pay for aged care costs under a new plan to slap an effective death tax on seniors to fund care. Former Treasurer Peter Costello has urged the Morrison Government to consider an expanded pensioner loans scheme during his appearance today at the Royal Commission into Aged Care. Under the proposal, seniors would be given the option of taking out a loan secured against the family home, that would then be sold when they died or other assets liquidated. While some banks already offer reverse home loans, Mr Costello has called for debate on expanding a pensions loans scheme to use the family home as an asset that could be sold when a retiree dies to recover costs. “I mean, financial products that can allow people to raise accommodation bonds against the family home, which is generally their greatest asset, I think there’s a much more scope for them and I think the Government could assist there,” Mr Costello said. “The Government has a thing called the Pension Loan Scheme which it says is available. The private sector has what is called a reversible mortgage or equity drawdown mortgages. “But I do think, you know, this is a classic area where those people that do use residential care and do have assets should be asked to make a contribution and guaranteed a return of their deaths.”

     I know that the corny corona freak out has brought in the New World Order, and unspeakable tyranny and misery, but it can’t be all bad, can it? Can it? Whatever happened to look on the bright side of life? So, let’s do it. At least the lockdowns, as soul destroying as they have been/are, as utterly destructive of the economy, and transferring wealth from the small business to the big, have taken the universities down with them. Why, the second round of staff cuts looks like it will be even better than the first. That has to count for something.
  https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/education/second-wave-of-university-job-cuts-coming-next-year-20200917-p55wg2

     Now that is behind a pay wall, and where it comes to money, well, I am not in that, I just hit the wall. But I actually had a copy of the FIN, if that is what it is called, and saw the article. So, unless travel restriction are lifted on the cash cows who keep the whole rotten sector afloat, there are likely to be at least 20,000 job losses, while the universities move from voluntary targets, to compulsory. Whoaha … go scum bags, go! I bet the vice chancellors, also know as chancellors of vice in some cases, getting the one million plus big smackeroos a year will not be losing much. And, I suppose the staff cuts will not be in vital areas such as critical race theory, gay and transgenderism, but things like engineering and STEM and life-saving technologies, but, well, it is a start. I would be happy to starve to death, even being eaten alive by giant post-apocalyptic rats, to see these cesspools of political correctness and mass migration go down the drain pipes of modernity.

     Does this nightmare ever end? I look at my very favourite capitalist paper, the FIN, and there is Keating doing what he does best.
  https://www.afr.com/politics/keating-proposes-hecs-style-loans-to-fund-aged-care-20200914-p55vcc

“A HECS-style loan system should be introduced to help fund Australians' aged care, former prime minister Paul Keating says. People would be given credits towards their aged care and their estate then used to pay off the loans after they died, Mr Keating told the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. "We're not forcing anyone out of their home in old age, we're not obliging an aged person to negatively mortgage their home," he said on Monday. "You're not asking members of families to chip in and pay for their relatives. I think such a system has a lot of advantages." The latest round of royal commission hearings is looking at funding and prudential regulation in the aged care sector. Senior counsel assisting Peter Gray, QC, told commissioners that aged care providers were not required to report how much they were actually spending on care. Commissioner Tony Pagone asked Mr Keating if his HECS-style proposal could be seen as a death tax by requiring people to pay off their loans with their assets. "Putting on my former hat as a tax lawyer, I can see lots of people trying to make sure they don't have the assets there that can be called upon," Mr Pagone said. Mr Keating said the government would have to introduce policies to make sure that didn't happen. Similar to HECS, Mr Keating said the loan would not have to be repaid if it couldn't, like university students who never meet the income threshold to start paying off their debt. Brick and mortar assets, superannuation, cash and other investments would all be called upon after the person died to pay off the loan, he said. "In such a proposition you couldn't think of much political opposition from any quarter," Mr Keating said. The former prime minister, the man behind Australia's compulsory superannuation, said he changed his thinking on his previously proposed "longevity levy". The levy would tack 0.5 per cent to 1 per cent extra on to super payments to fund an insurance scheme for Australians once they passed their mid-80s.

     This is where things get interesting. People have been thrown out of work, given more than the usual dole to not sink under the flood waters of corona, but soon, that dole will be taken away, and everyone goes into free fall. I imagine that the BLM protests are going to look like the good old days in a few months’ time.

“It’s a devastating hidden statistic weighing on the mind of the Prime Minister as he considers a “snapback” to a $40-a-day dole. Three in four unemployed Australians forced to survive on the old $275-a-week dole were forced to skip meals or couldn’t afford fresh fruit and vegetables. Now, there are fears this is the grim future that more than 1.6 million Australians face when the JobSeeker payment is slashed at the end of September. Just over two months ago, the Jobseeker payment was doubled to $550 to help thousands of workers who lost their jobs in the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, the PM stressed that the increase was temporary and that the dole would return to normal in late September. But now, as the ranks of the unemployed swell when the Morrison Government also axes the JobKeeper wage subsidy in September, more Australians will be forced to live in poverty. In a survey of almost 1000 Australians who rely on JobSeeker, the Australian Council of Social Service has found that 9 out of 10 people reported that the removal of the new JobSeeker rate would have a significant or extreme impact on their ability to cover the cost of essentials.”

     This article by Ellen Brown, “Meet BlackRock, the Great Vampire Squid,” caught my eye. What could that be about? I must admit that I knew nothing about this financial entity, which I guessed it was rather than some recreational area, like a park with a huge mountain that people climbed and fell off to their death. Wow, just consider this:
  https://www.unz.com/article/meet-blackrock-the-new-great-vampire-squid/

“To most people, if they are familiar with it at all, BlackRock is an asset manager that helps pension funds and retirees manage their savings through “passive” investments that track the stock market. But working behind the scenes, it is much more than that. BlackRock has been called “the most powerful institution in the financial system,” “the most powerful company in the world” and the “secret power.” It is the world’s largest asset manager and “shadow bank,” larger than the world’s largest bank (which is in China), with over $7 trillion in assets under direct management and another $20 trillion managed through its Aladdin risk-monitoring software. BlackRock has also been called “the fourth branch of government” and “almost a shadow government”, but no part of it actually belongs to the government. Despite its size and global power, BlackRock is not even regulated as a “Systemically Important Financial Institution” under the Dodd-Frank Act, thanks to pressure from its CEO Larry Fink, who has long had “cozy” relationships with government officials. BlackRock’s strategic importance and political weight were evident when four BlackRock executives, led by former Swiss National Bank head Philipp Hildebrand, presented a proposal at the annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in August 2019 for an economic reset that was actually put into effect in March 2020. Acknowledging that central bankers were running out of ammunition for controlling the money supply and the economy, the BlackRock group argued that it was time for the central bank to abandon its long-vaunted independence and join monetary policy (the usual province of the central bank) with fiscal policy (the usual province of the legislature). They proposed that the central bank maintain a “Standing Emergency Fiscal Facility” that would be activated when interest rate manipulation was no longer working to avoid deflation. The Facility would be deployed by an “independent expert” appointed by the central bank. The COVID-19 crisis presented the perfect opportunity to execute this proposal in the US, with BlackRock itself appointed to administer it. In March 2020, it was awarded a no-bid contract under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to deploy a $454 billion slush fund established by the Treasury in partnership with the Federal Reserve. This fund in turn could be leveraged to provide over $4 trillion in Federal Reserve credit. While the public was distracted with protests, riots and lockdowns, BlackRock suddenly emerged from the shadows to become the “fourth branch of government,” managing the controls to the central bank’s print-on-demand fiat money. How did that happen and what are the implications?”

“Australia's relationship with China is not a happy one at the moment. Canberra's push for answers on the pandemic's origins has angered Beijing. In the past month it has put in place some bruising sanctions and travel warnings. Many have urged Australia to reduce its economic reliance on China, but is this really an option? "I love the Chinese," says Chris Kelly, an Australian who's sown barley on his family farm for decades. "Love them. Every barley grower in Australia loves the Chinese because they've made us wealthy." Last year Australia produced over 8 million tonnes of the golden grain used in beer and pig feed. China bought more than half - at a premium price. But last month, China imposed an 80% tariff on Australian barley. It came after Canberra, echoing the US, called for an investigation into Covid-19's origins - a move that Beijing labelled "politically motivated". China has since suspended some major Australian beef imports, and warned students and tourists against travelling to the "racist" country. This week, in a secretive process, it sentenced an Australian man to death for drug smuggling. It's fuelled frenzied discussion in Australia: Is China retaliating against accusations it mishandled the coronavirus? Could this be the start of a trade war like that seen between the US and China?

     Things are going swimmingly fine now, with the governments tossing down plenty of dough to keep us primates from revolting, but, just down the track the money runs out, and then it will be necessary to use the military to put people down, so that they starve to death in their fox holes, without a murmur; white folk silently disappearing into the darkness of the eternal night:

“Half of businesses expect to lay off staff once furlough ends - amid fears the UK faces 1980s-style unemployment. A poll of firms found 51 per cent say they will need to axe workers within three months of the government's huge coronavirus bailout being withdrawn. A fifth believe they will have to let 30 per cent or more of their employees go - while only 34 per cent are confident they will not have to make any redundancies. The dire results in the YouGov survey of 503 business leaders underlines the scale of the looming pain for Britons in the worst recession for 300 years. Some 9.1 million jobs are now being supported by the furlough scheme, which covers 80 per cent of wages up to a ceiling of £2,500 a month. Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said it will stay in place until the end of October - but companies will gradually be made to share the burden with the state. Despite the unprecedented efforts to keep people in jobs during lockdown, grim figures yesterday showed numbers on the payroll plummeted by 612,000 between March and May. Jobless claims under Universal Credit have soared by 1.6million - 125.9 per cent - over the same period. Vacancies showed an eye-watering reduction of 342,000 in March-May compared to the previous quarter - a sharper fall than than the credit crunch. However, the worst of the hit for workers appears to have been masked by the government's massive furlough bailout scheme, with experts warning of 1980s levels of unemployment by the end of the year.”
