As Stocks Tumble, Kocherlakota Urges Fed To Cut Rates Immediately

That didn't take long.

Just a few days after stocks hit an all time high amid investor complacency that China's ever more audacious lies about the declining number of new coronavirus cases confirms that Beijing is on top of the domestic epidemic, and even if they are not, the Fed will step in and cut rates or do more QE - because somehow printing money and printing antiviral antibodies is comparable - stocks plunged as it became abundantly clear that the coronavirus pandemic is not only not fading, but on the contrary, it starting to spread around the globe with new clusters emerging in South Korea, Japan and Italy.

And with stocks crashing and the Dow dropping over 1,000 points, suddenly the complacency that "all is well" was shattered with a hammer.

Which leave the Fed, and lo and behold, with the S&P just a fraction away from the all time highs it printed just last week despite today's tumble, central bankers have emerged from their caves and are already calling for the Fed to cut rates. Case in point, former Minneapolis Fed Narayana Kocherlakota (what is it with Minneapolis spawning the biggest uber-doves in history?) has penned a Bloomberg op-ed in which the only FOMC member who was the first and only Fed member to put in a negative dot on the Fed's dot plot, said that the FOMC shouldn't wait until the March 18 FOMC committee, and should in fact conduct an intermeeting cut "to deal with this clear and pressing danger" adding that he "would urge an immediate cut of at least 25 basis points and arguably 50 basis points. That’s a cheap insurance policy for the economy that the Fed shouldn’t pass up" even though as he says in the same op-ed "it isn't clear how much economic damage the virus will do. "

FARRELL: It Ain’t Over For Andy McCabe

Is Andrew McCabe off the hook? Don’t count on it. The former FBI deputy director has been one of the central figures in the various anti-Trump coup plots that have unfolded over the last four years. He was well placed to do it, serving as deputy director 2016-2018, and briefly as acting director in 2017. He had means, motive and opportunity to abuse his power to the hilt.

McCabe’s downfall was rapid. He stepped down from the deputy directorship in January 2018, ahead of findings from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General that he “lacked candor,” a.k.a lied, to investigators, on several occasions, even under oath. He was fired in March 2018, just days before he would have been eligible to retire with full pension, and in April it was revealed that the IG had made a criminal referral to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. The IG report that was made public that month detailed how McCabe systematically transmitted sensitive information to the media while lying to investigators and his boss about the matter and publicly condemning the leaks. is a useful case study in the type of duplicity that thrives in Washington’s government/media complex.

In the last few days, the Justice Department announced that McCabe would not face trial for these particular crimes. McCabe, of course, declared vindication. He told his media employer CNN that being branded a liar was “one of the most sickening and demeaning experiences of [his] life” and that it was “just an absolute disgrace that they let this thing drag on as long as they did and put my family through what we’ve gone through over the last two years.” He said he was “just disgusted at the way the whole thing has been handled.”

McCabe isn’t the only one who is disgusted. The disparity of prosecutorial judgment and treatment infecting Washington, DC, has a corrosive effect on the American publics’ faith in justice. There is no legitimate reason why McCabe should elude justice. The inspector general’s report clearly established the basis for a criminal indictment. The fact that he was not arrested comes across as yet another example of a sickening double standard.

As for his objections to the process dragging on, McCabe should have a little more self-awareness. He was hardly subjected to the full force of harassment, intimidation, leaking and other tools at the disposal of the government when waging war on a political target, which frequently lead to bankruptcy, extreme stress and other consequences. He should know, since that has been the type of treatment meted out to people like Roger Stone, General Michael Flynn and others with far less evidence of wrongdoing.

McCabe says that he expects more mistreatment from the “vindictive” Trump, echoing the post-acquittal media lie that the president will go on a vengeance tour against his political enemies. Here’s what McCabe is really afraid of: accountability.

Enough is enough! Greek islanders vow to stop new invader camps

LESBOS, Greece (AP) — Protest groups on three eastern Greek islands have begun setting up blockades aimed at stopping the government from building new migrant detention centers.

The groups on Lesbos, Chios, and Samos have received broad support on the islands including from municipal authorities and farming associations.

The government says it is determined to build detention centers on recently appropriated land to replace overcrowded camps on the island — announcing that construction would resume Monday after a brief break for consultation.

But many islanders fear that new facilities will only increase the number of migrants and refugees after the government failed to deliver on a pledge to ease overcrowding over the winter months.

“We are guarding the (appropriated) area, and if they start building, everyone here and from the surrounding villages will join the protest — because we don’t want this,” Stephanos Apostolou, a protest organizer and municipal council member from the village of Mandamos on Lesbos, told The Associated Press.

Outrage in Croatia after effigy of same-sex couple burned

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) – Croatia’s president and government joined activists Monday in expressing outrage at the burning during a carnival of an effigy showing a same-sex couple with their child.

The incident occurred Sunday in the southern town of Imotski. A large effigy showing two men embracing each other was torched in front of cheering festival-goers to the sound of the funeral music.

President Zoran Milanovic condemned the incident as an “inhumane, totally unacceptable act.” He demanded that the organizers apologize, while an LGBT group announced legal action.

“The event was observed by many children who could witness the spreading of hatred and inciting to violence,” Milanovic said in a statement.

Croatia’s government also said it is opposed to “any form of hate speech of aggression … and any act that insults the feelings of the Croatian people and contributes to the divisions within society,” the official Hina news agency reported.

Burning of effigies is a satirical tradition at Croatia’s carnivals, often representing public figures or politicians. Past incidents included the burning of a children’s book about same-sex families in 2018 and last year’s torching of an effigy of a Croatian Serb politician.

Sunday’s move follows a recent ruling by Croatia’s top court against discrimination of same-sex couples when it comes to acting as foster parents.

The Constitutional Court ruling in January was hailed as a major step forward in boosting gay rights in Croatia. But it also angered many in the predominantly conservative Catholic nation.

Croatia, which currently holds the six-month, rotating presidency of the European Union, has allowed same-sex partnerships since 2014, but gay couples are not allowed to adopt children. Milanovic, a liberal, was Croatia’s prime minister at the time. He beat a conservative former president in a runoff vote last month to become Croatia’s new head of state.

USA is pulling nukes out of Turkey

As reported earlier, Air Mobility Command’s C-17A Globemaster III arrived at Incerlik AB, Turkey from Sicily, Italy on February, 20 as part of US-led exercise Defender Europe 2020, Air Mobility Command officials said.

Five more C-17A Globemasters III arrived to Incerlik AB from Ramstein Air Base on February, 21. Our sources at Incerlik AB confirm that the presence of five additional transport aircraft is a clear evidence of getting the whole bulk of nukes (that are currently stored at Incerlik AB amid tensions in Syria) out to Germany, Poland and one of the Baltic states. Five nuclear bombs are to be transported to Poland and one of the Baltic states accordingly with the rest of the stock to be delivered to Germany.

This goes in line with an observatory flight over Turkey that will be carried out by Russian inspectors on February 25-28 as a means to verify the withdrawal of nuclear weapons. The inspection was declared by Sergei Ryzhkov, head of Russia’s National Nuclear Risk Reduction Center.

Besides, there’s a forward-deployed nuclear weapons storage depot for Defender Europe 2020 in Powidz.

Vitamin C Works for Sepsis. Will It Work for Coronavirus?

Sepsis is responsible for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide each year, killing 11 million out of 56 million people in 2017 alone. Sepsis is also one of the leading causes for influenza deaths

An IV protocol has been shown to dramatically improve chances of survival in septic patients. Giving adult patients 200 mg of thiamine every 12 hours, 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours, and 50 mg of hydrocortisone every six hours for two days reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%

Recent research has demonstrated the vitamin C-hydrocortisone-thiamine protocol lowers mortality in pediatric patients as well, from 28% to 9% in the first 30 days

In 2009, IV vitamin C was shown to be a potentially lifesaving treatment against severe swine flu. Even before that, many studies had demonstrated the usefulness of vitamin C against infections of various kinds

A randomized double-blind study published in 1994 found elderly patients given 200 milligrams of vitamin C per day while hospitalized for acute respiratory infection fared significantly better than those receiving a placebo

According to the most comprehensive global analysis1,2,3 done to date, sepsis is responsible for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide each year, killing 11 million out of 56 million people in 2017 alone. The researchers call the finding “alarming,” as their updated figures are double that of previous estimates.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by a systemic infection that causes your body to overreact and launch an excessive and highly damaging immune response.

Unless promptly diagnosed and treated, it can rapidly progress to multiple-organ failure and death, so it’s crucial to be on the lookout for its signs and symptoms4,5,6 whenever you’re ill or in the hospital.

This includes cases of suspected influenza, as sepsis can mimic many of the signs and symptoms of flu. In fact, as discussed in “The Alarming Reason Some People Die From the Flu,” sepsis is one of the leading causes for influenza deaths.7

Vitamin C Protocol Lowers Sepsis Mortality

The good news is, a protocol of intravenous (IV) vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) has been shown to dramatically improve chances of survival.8

This sepsis treatment protocol was developed Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia. His retrospective before-after clinical study9,10 showed giving patients 200 mg of thiamine every 12 hours, 1,500 mg of ascorbic acid every six hours, and 50 mg of hydrocortisone every six hours for two days reduced mortality from 40% to 8.5%.

Importantly, the treatment has no side effects and is inexpensive, readily available and simple to administer, so there’s virtually no risk involved. More recent research,11,12 published online January 9, 2020, found Marik’s sepsis protocol lowered mortality in pediatric patients as well.

British Branch of Starbucks is Fundraising for Transgender Radicalism

The U.K. branch of Starbucks is raising money to push for the chemical castration and surgical mutilation of children.

Nathanael Blake at The Federalist reported that the multinational titan is selling special mermaid-shaped cookies to help the pro-transgender lobbying group Mermaids. Curiously, the group’s founder took her underage son to Thailand to undergo a castration procedure.

Blake correctly observed “That Starbucks is supporting this group illustrates how thoroughly radicals have conquered both the LGBT movement and corporate culture.”

He also called attention to how “In a few years the fight has shifted from government recognition of same-sex relationships as legal marriages to mastectomies, sterilization, and castration for children.”

Indeed, American corporate culture has gone through a significant amount of radicalization.

Companies like Chick-fil-A are donating money to leftist causes, while companies like Dick’s Sporting Goods are bowing down to the politically correct demands of gun controllers.

Even CEOs of large companies are pitching in to support gun control.

A global trend of political correctness is sweeping across the West.

What once were bastions of moderation or even conservative restraint, corporations are now committed to advancing leftist causes.

Now, that bourgeois morality is rapidly declining, many social institutions are capitulating to cultural radicalism.

Our general culture suffers as a result.

Day 1 of Assange’s US extradition hearing: What you need to know

Opening arguments were made on the first day of the US extradition hearing of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, with the prosecution claiming his leaks risked lives while the defense argued that his case was politically motivated.

Monday’s hearing lasted six hours, including breaks, and Judge Vanessa Baraitser heard arguments from James Lewis QC, representing the US government, and Edward Fitzgerald QC, representing Assange.

The journalist’s supporters amassed outside Woolwich Crown Court, loudly chanting, holding ‘free Assange’ placards and blowing vuvuzelas. Inside the courtroom, Assange sat clean-shaven, with a new haircut and wearing glasses and a gray suit.

Speaking to the gathered media, Assange's father John Shipton condemned what he called the "ceaseless malice" directed at his son by US and UK authorities. He cited a determination by UN special rapporteur on torture Nils Melzer, who said that Assange had been subjected to prolonged “psychological torture.”

Such was the swell of support for Assange on the street that the noise from protesters could be heard from inside the courtroom. This prompted Assange himself to comment on the level of noise, saying that while he appreciated the support and understood that people “must be disgusted,” the sound was making it difficult to concentrate on proceedings.

Journalists themselves also complained on Twitter that the sound quality in the courtroom was not good, although the situation seemed to improve as the hearing went on.

‘Lives at risk’

As arguments got underway, Lewis claimed for the prosecution that revelations made by WikiLeaks had put political dissidents and journalists in danger, but no names of supposed victims were offered.

Lewis said unnamed persons had “disappeared” following the leaks, but admitted there was no proof that their disappearances were linked. He also argued that journalism was not an excuse for breaking laws.

He said the case against Assange was not brought because he had disclosed "embarrassing or awkward" information about the US government, but was purely about WikiLeaks having allegedly put people at risk.

Lewis also made the case that Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, guaranteeing freedom of expression, did not apply in Assange’s case.

Psalm 5

Lead Me in Your Righteousness

5 Give ear to my words, O Lord;

consider my groaning.

2

Give attention to the sound of my cry,

my King and my God,

for to you do I pray.

3

O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;

in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[a] and watch.

4

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;

evil may not dwell with you.

5

The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;

you hate all evildoers.

6

You destroy those who speak lies;

the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,

will enter your house.

I will bow down toward your holy temple

in the fear of you.

8

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

because of my enemies;

make your way straight before me.

9

For there is no truth in their mouth;

their inmost self is destruction;

their throat is an open grave;

they flatter with their tongue.

10

Make them bear their guilt, O God;

let them fall by their own counsels;

because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,

for they have rebelled against you.

11

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

let them ever sing for joy,

and spread your protection over them,

that those who love your name may exult in you.

12

For you bless the righteous, O Lord;

you cover him with favor as with a shield.

Central Banks to Buy Everything! Great Alasdair Macleod Video!

How convenient the central banks have “climate change” & corona virus to blame for collapsing the world economy 🙄

Its amazing how asleep people still are. I’ve been in the rabbit hole for 8 years and I feel like everyone knows the us dollar is worthless, then you bring it up and they have no clue. Truth is a lonely place!

It costs banks nothing to buy everything, they print the money.

…”Central Banks to Buy EVERYTHING” …that has been pretty obvious long ago. ….it’s one of the reasons for blockchain. …Gregory Mannarino stated this long ago also.

All of the nasty infected Yuan are being taken off the streets to “sanitize” and replace it. This just happens to be the perfect opportunity to implement the new digital Yuan! “We’re with the govt and we’re here to help.”

It’s very possible the financial elite are deliberately pushing the equity indices to new highs so they can sell shares short in preparation for pulling the pin on the trap door and making a killing on the way down. I’ve seen it happen twice in the past 20 yrs. Everything revolves around corruption in today’s world. Beware.

Has he figured out the money laundering the Fed is involved with, not to mention the World Bank yet or is he still in denial about that one?

What everybody seems to fail to understand, OR is deliberately omitting, is that the whole shebang is MEANT to fall. That it is this objective that is purposely steered for and that it, in the process, must take down as many people as possible, and plunge as many people as possible into abject poverty. This is required for the New World Order central banking cartel to usher in their desired NWO one world “elite” global government, to replace their current counterfeit, debt based, central banking scams with their new counterfeit NWO fiat currency scheme, AND to have the ignorant and gullible people, that will still be alive at such point, support all this. It is Hegel’s dialectic in action, as usual. The cabal steers the people into disaster, so that they will massively clamor for the NWO one world government to come in and save them from further peril. THIS is NEVER being mentioned! Why not?? I cannot imagine Alasdair Macleod not knowing this! I also know that you are aware of this Dunagun! All this talking about markets ONLY keeps the entire matter purposely confusing for all the people that have no idea of what is coming! Are y’all omitting this information, that the people should know about, because you would otherwise be removed from YouTube? That is the only reason I can come up with. There are NO markets!! There is NO natural price discovery ANYWHERE. The entire show is a 100% rigged and tightly managed scam and fraud of the financial “elite” money changer-bankers. Bonds, yields, stocks, precious metals, interest rates, currencies.., ALL of it is 100% under strict control and management of the counterfeiting, debt creating, New World Order central banking mafia. This is what all people MUST understand, or they WILL clamor for the criminals to come and save them, and so the people themselves are continuing digging their own and each other’s graves.

Did You Know Colorado Springs Was Once Home to Nikola Tesla's Secret Research Facility?

Tesla built a large secret "Experimental Station" in Colorado Springs to create artificial lightning.

Colorado Springs was once home to a secret lab built by engineer and scientific visionary Nikola Tesla, who made many discoveries and breakthroughs in the development, production, transmission, and use of electric power, and among them, the alternating current AC electric system is used principally all over the world and his Tesla coils are utilized in radio and paved the way for many of the wireless technologies we use today.

While the concept of a secret lab immediately conjures up visions of a mysterious lair dramatically hidden away high in the peaks, the reality is a bit less dramatic, yet still just as fascinating. Tesla himself was at times considered a mad scientist due to his wild ideas and a huge imagination. Though the specific location of his secret facility in Colorado remains a bit of a mystery the lab absolutely did exist. Referred to as Tesla’s "Lost Laboratory", the lab was built in Colorado Springs in 1899 by Tesla and used for a secret experiment.

What was Tesla's secret research facility for?

Tesla was full of big ideas and followed them to many different places, and one of those ideas took him to Colorado Springs in May of 1889. The project was funded by millionaire John Jacob Astor, who gave Tesla $30,000 to foster the idea of transmitting a radio wave from the top of Pike’s Peak all the way to Paris, France. And while this idea was told by Tesla directly to reporters, he gave no further details of that plan. Tesla secured free power from the El Paso Power Company for the project and headed to the Springs to get to work.

Colorado Springs (which was then a city of about 28,000 people) and its surrounding area was picked due to the high altitude and thinner air, which would allow for wireless electric currents. He thought that when lighting struck, electrical currents were transmitted from one side of the earth to the other. Tesla intended to create a current as strong as natural lightning, working for about a year at his Colorado Springs lab, which he called his “Experimental Station." A team of assistants, who were not totally sure of what Tesla was up to, accompanied him to assist in his research.

PBS has several pieces on Tesla and his work, including its American Experience episode, “Tesla: Visionary or Madman?”, which aired on December 26, 2018.
