Guatemala's President-elect Leads Anti-corruption March
Guatemala's president-elect Bernardo Arevalo led an anti-corruption protest of thousands of people in the capital Thursday that also called for the ousting of the attorney general investigating him. Arevalo, a 65-year-old political outsider and anti-corruption crusader, scored a shock upset win at polls in August and is due to assume office on January 14.The United States, European Union, UN and Organization of American States have all expressed concern over the actions of Porras, who is on a US list of "corrupt actors" along with other top Guatemalan officials.

Side note: If Argentinas newly elected President was “kicking out the IMF/World Bank” its likely this is what you would have seen, namely our government going there not scheduling meetings with them but n Washington
Some instructions and rules being delivered here perhaps? cuz if the above list in red doesn’t like him…even though still a politician so can’t forget that…he’s off to a good start in my book

“Donations” and…..
RCH1583 and 2805 C5 Galaxys departed Dover AFB w/4 digit call signs-equipment for VIP visits most likely or someone taking a clandestine trip across the pond
This is exactly how Blinken and Austin made “secret trip to Kiev” after that started and just before Pelosi’s 3h stay at Rzsesow Airport but “in Kiev” but those were on Globemasters however they had 4 digit call signs-equipment for VIP visits or VIPs incognito.
It’s one or other and there is a Nighwatch sitting at JBA so Austin might be going somewhere too. 73-1676 in cap

Japan's government debt is a US$20 trillion 'carry trade': DB
{That this report was issued by Douche Bank is quite ironic since it was the repository for the shitload (at the time) of OTC derivatives that was about to tank Banker’s Trust and side note: 911 operation “missed” that Bldg which had a ton of records that needed to go away and Jerry Powell-current Chair of FED was instrumental in building that pile up and he left well before it imploded…to Carlyle…back to this rates reversed yesterday after the BoJ jaw boned about slowing down its debt purchases and the Yen has strengthened considerably so you can figure out that “time” is being bought here but eventually the Yen-carry trade will blow up but not before they shove an ass ton of US $s back into China since they’ve been moar than willing to do it on several occasions and does China need help in the worst way}
Japan's government is engaged in a massive US$20 trillion "carry trade" - the funding of loans and foreign assets by borrowing low-cost yen - that could bring unexpected risks if the central bank tightens policy, Deutsche Bank analysts warn.
Using research by the San Francisco Federal Reserve and International Monetary Fund, Deutsche's head of currency research George Saravelos analysed a consolidated balance sheet of the Japanese government including the government-run pension fund GPIF, the Bank of Japan (BOJ), and state-owned banks, showing the asset-liability mix of its US$20 trillion debt. That debt, Deutsche Bank found, amounts to an enormous "trade" invested abroad at high interest rates and funded by low-rate, short-term borrowing in yen.
As expectations grow for the Bank of Japan to exit its ultra-loose monetary stance, Deutsche Bank's report says it is crucial to understand the potential consequences of this huge trade, not only on the government's balance sheet but on savings and assets held by households.
The yen has traditionally been a favourite funding currency for carry trades because of Japan's low interest rates, and market participants expect investors globally to unwind hundreds of billions of dollars of such trades if and when the BOJ exits its ultra-easy monetary policy.
Deutsche Bank's report extends that scenario to include the Japanese government and its balance sheet. With real rates kept low via the central bank's negative rates policy, the government has found fiscal space, enabling it to run public debt above 200 per cent of GDP while financing one-third in overnight cash, the report said. Deutsche also said it was no surprise the heavy selloff in bonds this year had not hurt Japan.
"Everyone else has stopped out of carry trades, why hasn't Japan? The answer is simple: On the liability side the BOJ controls the government's cost of funding and this has been kept at zero (or indeed negative) despite rising inflation," it said.
Sustained inflation, however, could bring an end to this enormous carry trade, with pressure already mounting on the BOJ to normalise its monetary policy.

I argue it’s been over-like our Petro $ died during 98-99 just hasn’t been ANY consequences for any of this but when you are the lynchpin of the central banking system (yen/dollar carry trade since mid 90s)it’s gonna be the last to suffer any meaningful consequences. This is what allowed the system to continue after 2008/9 and depending on your POV it thrived (death by a several trillion ‘cuts’ but you don’t notice it until the last set is made imo)
