Might as well post it here, too.

Via Dutchsinse:

Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden has passed away, and his website has been deactivated, or taken down!

His company, energetic productions, sent this DVD to me directly, unsolicited, with a hand written note:

“Michael,
Wasn’t sure if you had seen THIS ONE of Tom’s—-

Tahri
Energetic Productions

1988 lecture about Russian Directed Energy weapons, given at the World Trade Center of all places.

This video includes clips added by Mr. Bearden himself at some point in 2010, long before he passed away.

This is a miracle and a half to get confirmation on pretty much everything I discovered ON MY OWN since 2011. He even has HAARP RINGS in the video but calls them “RADAR pulses”!

Listen to the parts about Ukraine and Russia, about nuclear reactors and earthquakes. About Scalar and Cancer. About the US Embassies being attacked with EMF radio wave devices, about Russia having cures to viruses using radio waves. Making ‘viruses’ also with the same technique.

This is a magnum opus of Lt. Col Bearden. The fact that it was just sent to me after he passed away , I feel obligated to carry the torch on this.

I will be uploading everywhere.
______

His website is now gone. I don’t know why.

This video from Mr. Bearden was made from 1988 to 2010 — this proves EVERYTHING I FOUND! And it was all made before I ever made my first video!!!!

My first youtube video made at the end of 2010 going into 2011. I have never seen this video before today, or anything similar.

I will attempt to purchase all his material, copies of each DVD that they have, and will see if I can get links for them on sale or if they have copies for us to purchase!!

Their little dishonest world is collapsing so they lash out at the truth.
And they lash out at those that stayed true.
It can’t help them.
Victoria is now being reported around the world as having a 20% increase in deaths.
This news is “boring” and repetitive to JC and other liars here who claim to never have prmoted the jab or poo pooed the evidence being presented about it’s dangers and lack of morality in taking it.
Well they would wouldn’t they.
This is the most important information in your dopey chicken shit lives and to want it banned being spoken of here….by calling for my banning shows a level of mental sickness obvious to any sane person.
And the harder the truth becomes to deny the more they lie and spit the dummy.
The people calling for my banning are the mentally ill.
Those who know they’ve failed….and it isn’t looking good for them.
They’ll be choo chooing out of here shortly with the words of the righteous ringing in their ears…

For those of us with working memories.
The declarations of being jabbed.
The posts on social media with the circle around the mug shot of the virtue signaller….fully vaccinated!
The willingness and glee to be able to be part of the group the government decided to allow into buildings and events.
By declaring to all and sundry that you were jabbed.
But now it was a “personal medical decision” and you pretend to be offended at being asked if you were boosted.
Again I state the level of not only mental decline on display here daily is pathetic.
It’s pathetic because it belongs to the pathetic.
They hate what they are and despise the prick holding up the mirror. …….

Except for the idiots in federal government. If you go into one of their facilities – for example a national park visitors centre, the poor sods on duty have to wear a mask.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ‘on death bed with cancer’ – regime risks ‘imploding’ (11 Sep)

Reports are coming out of Iran that Khamenei is dying of cancer leaving a power vacuum. Initially, news circulated of his death last night but it was later confirmed that he is gravely ill and is understood to be suffering from the late stages of cancer.

The article has a fair bit of information about the jockeying going on to succeed him. It doesn’t look like a clean changeover, may become quite messy.

Grim prediction Australia facing major housing crash

Hmm, I doubt that Goldman Sachs understands the dynamics of the Australian housing market. There’s a lot of culture underpinning it that Americans would not grasp. Nor our elites for that matter, since they’re growing further and further detached from ordinary people with mortgages.

That’s not to say it won’t crash, but that would take a big recession and a lot of personal bankruptcies. Whereupon house prices would be the least of our worries.

I wasn’t concerned about monkeypox but still, good to know.
“People who were vaccinated against smallpox at birth and who today are 50 years old still have antibodies, so they are probably protected, at least partially, from the monkeypox virus that we have recently been hearing about. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the coronavirus. For reasons we still don’t yet fully understand, the level of antibodies against COVID-19 declines significantly after three months, which is why we see people getting infected again and again, even after being vaccinated three times”

Researchers isolate two antibodies that neutralize all known strains of COVID-19

Ramesh Thakur calls out Mehreen Faruqi’s hypocrisy at The Spectator:

Just out of curiosity, I have two simple questions for Senator Faruqi regarding where and what she would be today, but for British colonial history.

First, if the UK had not colonised Pakistan (as part of undivided India), not brought the English language to the subcontinent, and not introduced the UK education system and curricula, where does Faruqi believe she’d be living today?

Second, what does she believe her status and life conditions would be as a woman in a Muslim society and Islamic country without the history of British colonialism? Does she have the honesty and courage to address this question?

Rosie – That was my point about our elites. Which would include the employees of GS, Macquarie and the big 4. Also the analysts aren’t going to say anything in their reports which goes against the consensus line. Groupthink is the vibe these days, you dare not do otherwise.

The Australian economist Steve Keen for example keeps on predicting crashes in our housing market, but none have happened.

The thing colouring their analysis is the US market. But laws are substantially different in the US: for example if the house price is lower than mortgage the owner can hand his keys to the bank and walk away, get another loan and buy in at the lower price. Which can save them tens and hundreds of thousands on mortgage repayments. Here that isn’t possible: the mortgagor is up for every cent even if repossessed. So we tend to hunker down and work like trojans to keep our houses and pay the repayments.

House prices don’t tend to fall much, rather they plateau for a decade or so then kick. And time on market extends from a few weeks like now to a year or two.

Albo is also going to throw open the floodgates on immigration which will underpin house prices a lot.

This is probably the biggest danger:

Wave Of German Insolvencies Picks Up Speed…”Tenfold Increase In Gas, Electricity Prices” (11 Sep)

As Germany’s electricity and natural gas prices soar, a wave of companies – some having a long tradition – are filing insolvency. Many midsize companies rely on natural gas as a source of energy, but prices have multiplied since early this year.

Blackout News here reports toilet paper maker Hakle has filed for insolvency, citing “increased energy costs”.

Others include shoe retailer Görtz, who cite low sales as consumers cut back on their discretionary spending, and automobile supplier Dr. Schneider. Steel producer ArcelorMittal in Hamburg und Bremen are also following.

We’re better off, paradoxically, because Australian industry has been hollowed out for decades. But energy prices are going to really hurt as Albo’s 43 percent law eventually kicks in.

Right now though unemployment is very low and there’re lots of jobs available for people needing a second one to pay the mortgage. That may change if companies start closing because of sky high energy prices.

“The sub continentals are having a big whinge about the monarchy and, by extension British rule, according to the BBC.

What did the British ever do for us?”

A few years ago, a Canadian professor of sub-continent extraction named Rick Mehta, whose parents had migrated from India (the Punjab) to Canada, incurred the wrath of the far-left university (both students and fellow faculty) because he dared to speak some unfashionable and very unprogressive truths such as calling “multiculturalism a scam”, labelling the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission a vehicle for “endless apologies and compensation.” and telling his students that “British colonial rule in the sub-continent wasn’t all bad”.

Mehta knows a thing or two about British colonial rule, probably a lot more than some half baked progressive moron in a Canadian university. As Mehta said, when asked why he thought British colonial rule wasn’t all bad for the sub-continent, and in some respects it was a positive, particularly in fractious areas like the Punjab where his own family had originated, he explained that the Punjab had been a region beset with sectarian violence between Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs for centuries and it was the British who imposed order and kept the warring religions apart. When interviewed by Gad Saad, Mehta described his parents and grandparent’s shocking memories of partition, his family had originated from a part of Punjab that was partitioned and is now in Pakistan. In the carnage of partition, his parents witnessed men, women and children being bulled off trains and hacked to death.

For his thought crimes Mehta was censored, smeared and silenced. He lost his faculty job.

The British empire, whilst not without faults, was probably the most benign empire in history.
Ask Hong Kongers about Britain, I suspect many now regret that transition of power in 1997 and if they could turn back time they’d happily revert to British rule once again.

She was 20 years old!

She can legally get a sex change as a toddler. She can get an abortion in junior high. She can join the military at 17 and kill goat farmers with drones. She can legally fuck at 18 (some states it is 16).

At my last permanent school in NSW, the P&C ran the canteen and made great money. Enter stage left, the Healthy Canteens Policy, where 90% of the menu is to be “healthy” food. P&C now rents out canteen. After 3 weeks the lessee hands back the lease because the kids weren’t using the canteen and we see a massive increase in kids going over the fence to the neighbouring Macca’s and KFC.
New lessee takes over, and while 90% of the new menu is healthy, for some reason you can’t actually get any of those items, and there is a whole lot of stuff that is not on the menu that is.

Judge: Delayed Dawson prosecution `a mystery’

EXCLUSIVE
David Murray
National Crime Correspondent
7:06PM September 11, 2022
17 Comments

A retired Queensland Supreme Court judge has questioned why it took 40 years to prosecute Chris Dawson for the murder of his wife Lynette.

Geoffrey Davies said it was “very hard to understand” the delay, as former NSW director of public prosecutions Nicholas Cowdery refused to comment when contacted by The ­Australian.

“It’s certainly beyond my understanding,” Mr Davies told The Teacher’s Trial podcast.

Dawson was found guilty by NSW Supreme Court judge Ian Harrison last month in a wholly circumstantial case and despite there being no body.

Mr Davies is a former Queensland solicitor-general and president of both state and national bar associations.

The many pieces of evidence against Dawson “together made a very substantial case”, he said after reviewing Justice Harrison’s published judgment.

“She had no suicidal thoughts,” Mr Davies said. “She seemed to be a happy and caring mother of her children. She had a lot of friends.

“The circumstances in which she left seemed very odd, that she didn’t take any clothes or any money or seemed to have nowhere in particular to go.

“There are a huge number of facts, none of which on their own would have been sufficient to reach that conclusion, but which together the judge thought was sufficient.”

The handling of the case has similarities to the NSW DPP’s consistent refusal to prosecute two men over the 2011 death of Lynette Daley on a beach after a violent rape.

It was only after media exposure and a subsequent public outcry that the men were charged.

A Supreme Court jury in 2017 took just 32 minutes to convict them.

Two coroners recommended in 2001 and 2003 that Dawson be charged with murdering Lyn, who left behind two daughters aged four and two when she vanished in January 1982.

Mr Cowdery, now 76 and retired, was the NSW DPP from 1994 to 2011 and refused to prosecute on both occasions, citing insufficient evidence.

Lyn’s family was angered by an interview Mr Cowdery gave in 2018 with the ABC’s Australian Story program, and his suggestion that she could still be alive.

The office Mr Cowdery formerly led was considering ­whether to charge Dawson at the time.

“Without a body, without knowing first of all if she is dead, without knowing secondly if she is dead how she died, it’s very hard to mount a case of a reasonable prospect of conviction just on motive and the undefined existence of means and opportunity,” Mr Cowdery told the program.

“That makes it very weak. In mounting the discussion, very little consideration has been given to Chris Dawson and his position.

“He is either somebody responsible for his wife’s death, or somebody who was deserted by his wife.

“We don’t know which it is. But I think we should have that in the back of our mind.”

Asked on the program what he thought had happened to Lyn, Mr Cowdery said: “Lyn Dawson disappeared. And that really is as far as I can take it in my own mind.”

Mr Cowdery declined to discuss Dawson’s conviction.

“I’m not making any public comments or statements about it,” he said. “Nothing at all. You’ve drawn a blank on that one.”

Dawson, 74, is due to face a sentencing hearing in November and is expected to appeal against his conviction.

For reasons we still don’t yet fully understand, the level of antibodies against COVID-19 declines significantly after three months, which is why we see people getting infected again and again, even after being vaccinated three times”

1) Antibodies are but one aspect of immunity, hence do not give a full picture of immune competence.
2) Its not antibody levels per se, but immune memory and ability to rapidly make antibodies that matters – antibodies are expensive to make and crowd out the other functions of the blood, so you don’t keep expressing every antibody in your library all the time – if you did, your blood would be full of antibodies.
3) Antibody levels in the blood tell you little about mucosal antibody levels – and it is these that matter in defending against respiratory viruses that attack you via the respiratory mucosa.
4) Antibody levels are meaningless if they can’t identify whether those antibodies are effective against the current Covid strains* – we know that up to now, ALL the COVID injections are built on the WUHAN antigen – which is long dead – hence the resultant antibodies are useless against current strains.

* this, IMHO, is why a lot of the booster message traffic was about how much boosters increased antibody levels, NOT whether said increase actually provided protection.

How does that explain smallpox protection?

1) The ‘safety and efficacy’ of the small pox vax may not be all it has been said to be – like covid, there are alternative views but these are suppressed*.

2) Smallpox is a very stable virus – it doesn’t mutate fast like resp viruses do

3) Unlike respiratory viruses, Smallpox is a systemic infection which is spread throughout the body by the blood (which is how the ‘pocks’ get such wide distribution) hence injected vaccines (which produce blood borne antibodies) make more sense than with respiratory viruses.

* Suzanne Humphries book ‘Dissolving Illusions’ discusses this.

‘We can’t mourn’: Queen’s death triggers Indigenous debate on legacy
By Lisa Visentin and Katina Curtis
September 12, 2022 — 4.22am

The Queen’s legacy as a figurehead of colonialism has been condemned by some Indigenous Australians, but senior Aboriginal leaders have come to her defence, saying she inherited her role and was not to blame for past atrocities.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he respected the right of Australians to hold different views as he restated his commitment to hold a referendum to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to parliament in the constitution during this term.

“As prime minister, I’m not in a position to control people’s feelings, of course, and many of those will, of course, be heartfelt,” he told ABC Insiders.

“This nation didn’t begin in 1788, it goes back some 65,000 years at least. It should be a source of great national pride that we live and share this continent with the oldest continuous civilisation and culture on Earth.”

Aboriginal Tent Embassy ambassador Gwenda Stanley said she felt no grief at the Queen’s death and viewed her legacy as an embodiment of colonisation.

“We can’t mourn something that has colonised us for so many generations,” she said.

“[The monarchy’s] legacy is that they had a privileged life due to the benefit from the genocide of Indigenous people right around this country.

“If anything it’s [something] to rejoice for many colonies around the world. Although she had many visits to Australia, there’s still the injustice of the genocides that she’s going to her grave with.”

Coalition senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said she did not agree with this view, but rather was in “awe” of the way the Queen shouldered her responsibilities with “consideration, with poise and with grace” while being under intense public scrutiny.

“She inherited much of what the monarchy was part of, and had done worldwide. Given that position, I think she did quite well to serve the Commonwealth,” Price said.

“I know many Aboriginal people who hold a deep respect for her and her position.

“When it comes to other colonisers around the world, I think we ended up in the best position possible in terms of the British coming to the shores. It could have been far more disastrous for Indigenous Australians had we been met with the Spanish or the Dutch or anybody else.”

Sunday’s proclamation ceremony in Canberra, when Governor-General David Hurley declared Charles III the King of Australia, included a smoking ceremony, Welcome to Country and Indigenous dance.

Ngunnawal elder Aunty Violet Sheridan said it was a pleasure, “in keeping with the general spirit of friendship and reconciliation”, to welcome those attending the ceremony.

“I was born under her rule right up until she passed,” Sheridan said.

“No matter what your views, Queen Elizabeth lived a life of service and she was also a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

“King Charles III takes over from his mother and we know he will be thoughtful in his rule.”

Indigenous leader Professor Tom Calma, the University of Canberra’s chancellor, met the Queen during her last visit to Australia in 2011 and said he held “no hostility” toward her and respected her long-term reign.

He said her legacy should be viewed in the context that she came to the throne more than a century and a half after the British colonised Australia.

“She didn’t colonise. She inherited the predicament we were in. Australia had already been colonised on beliefs that terra nullius existed – it didn’t, and it was overturned in 1992 in the Mabo decision by the High Court,” Calma said.

He said the Queen’s death should spark a discussion about the nation’s future, including the prospect of another referendum on whether to become a republic.

“Our future is in our hands and we have to think seriously about it as a nation. And, if a referendum comes up for a republic again, Australia needs to consider it.”

Macquarie University Indigenous studies professor Sandy O’Sullivan said there was a deep complexity of emotion among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the Queen’s death.

“There are many [Indigenous Australians] who are very sad about the passing of the Queen, who felt she was important in their own agency. But the reality is that many others feel the monarchy was responsible for ongoing colonialism,” they said.

O’Sullivan said the monarchy had not done enough to recognise the impact of colonisation on Indigenous Australians or improve their plight.

“It was our land, and our land was used to develop these resources that built the British Empire. That has continued. It’s not like money was handed back or reparations were made. They weren’t.”

“Not like money was handed back or reparations made. They weren’t.”
Pull the other one, it plays “Land of my Fathers.”

I’m not sure who claims the smallpox vax was particularly ‘safe’. It killed, caused myocarditis, and was notorious for blinding and crippling children.

Traditionally colds/flus havent been vaccinated against because they are highly changeable. Even the current fluvax is designed to target what they think the nastiest varieties for the coming year will be, sometimes they guess wrong and we end up with more oldies/compromised dying.

Party leaders on both left and right linked the rise in violent crime with large-scale immigration, which has led to high levels of segregation along ethics lines in the housing and jobs markets. In the space of a few decades, Sweden has become one of the most multicultural societies in Europe, with more than a third of the population having been born abroad or having a parent who was born abroad. About 30% of children do not have Swedish as their mother tongue, rising to 45% in parts of the cities.

USA: In Service to East European Dictators

Last night we watched American Sniper. Watching it on the eve of September 11 was purely coincidental. Knowing now what I thought I knew back then, the movie was unwatchable.

9/11 was a wake-up call that our American foreign policy was a colossal failure. The response to it once the dust settled was an encouraging sign that maybe the country could put aside partisan hackery and unite behind a common goal to oppose a common enemy; Islamic extremism.

That quickly gave way to it no longer being the American people’s response to becoming instead the Bush Administration’s response proving once more that people don’t go to war against other people;
governments go to war against other governments.

And over one trillion dollars later, America’s reputation in the Middle East is even worse now than it was on September 10th, 2001.

The world is even more dangerous, but the freedoms of the American people have deteriorated so much that if any sentient American thinks they live in a free country, they’re living a fantasy. We’ve never been less free.

And now, instead of looking for Arab children to blow up with our drones or kill them with our military’s best sharpshooters, we are spending billions of dollars waging a proxy war in Eastern Europe in service to one Authoritarian who’s at war with another.

All of this is at the financial expense of the American people, who are forced to pay higher taxes, accept higher energy prices, and ultimately settle for a lower standard of living.

Other than that, 9/11 should be seen as the long-coming great awakening of America’s graceful but forceful global leadership… If only it were so…

And the Muslim leader who insisted on that bloody Partition, Jinnah, was himself racist – a sub-continental George Wallace, as Faruqi must well know.

As Germany’s electricity and natural gas prices soar, a wave of companies – some having a long tradition – are filing insolvency.

The European wholesale electricity markets operate on marginal pricing; with generators bidding every 5 minutes on a pay-as-clear basis.

In practice, hugely expensive gas generators set the marginal price – and everyone else tucks in behind and bids slightly less to fill the market out.

That means renewable generators – with zero fuel cost – are able to coat-tail on Putin-pricing. And, depending on their trader’s skills, game the market to keep gas demand running strong.

The EU representative wholesale electricity price is in the €300-€400/MWh region. Up from €60ish 12 months ago.

Currently renewables make up a bit less than 40% of EU sent out power.

The German businesses going to the wall can comfort themselves that the renewables sector is chortling at the massive super profits their colleagues in the renewables sector are making.

Went to the Lifeline book fair yesterday to pick up some scraps. A lot more gone than in previous years sad to say for me. About 30 books left in one section laying on the table with 5 people looking at them. In swoops enthusiastic volunteer Karen, pushes in front of everyone and compacts them vertically into a small lot that only one personcould peruse. Quick thinker spreads the books back out again, not me, if looks could kill. We all said thanks. Then we got the death stare. There were several more Karens doing the same thing including one bloke that identified as a karen. As much as I appreciate the volunteers this lot wanted to make it about them.

Smallpox could be eradicated, IIRC, because it had no animal reservoirs.

And that is why a vaccine could never be made for this ‘Virus Thingy’. Anyone have a vaccine for the Common Cold? If you believe that is possible then I have a Bridge to sell you.

Interesting stuff FM, especially the notion that egg grown vaxxs can mutate and become less effective
“He also points to a recent study by another group that compared an egg-grown vaccine with one that contained genetically engineered HA, which sidesteps the mutation issue”

2 Things I think are correct.

1: Vaccination, in general has been an awesome advance in medicine which has saved hundreds of millions of lives.
2: Vaccination always carries an inherent risk to those being vaccinated, I think the medical establishment and governments have served people poorly by pretending it cant happen in order to promote as much vax in arms to achieve the highest rates they can.

In short there is an element of ‘noble lie”, where instead of doing the messy business of informing people of likelihoods, promoting the benefits and so on with each vax they have simply thrown the switch to “they are all awesome, and nothing can go wrong” .

The other thing I took from the article is the irresponsibility of just giving jabs without follow up checks to see if the vaxes actually caused the reaction hoped for.
Particularly with the elderly, who have around a 70% chance of failure for a vaccination built in because of age.

Its an awesome sector of science, and it is nice that they are working out some tried and trusted methods may need changing to make the products better.

That was the Daily Exposé.
It is therefore bullshit.

are you implying that the queen isn’t dead?

Do try to make an effort not to be obtuse, champ.
I’ll explain it slowly.
Yes, the Queen is dead (long live the King).
What is at issue is, did she die of nano-wrigglers, replicating metal fragments in the body, mysterious spidery blood clots or, as claimed by the Daily Exposé, a large 3 metre growth which resembles an extension lead?

Indeed. There was a minutes silence prior to the start of last night’s Italian F1 Grand Prix. The vision showed the people in the grandstands and all around the track standing to attention. That tribute was in addition to the minutes silence prior to the start of Practice 1 a couple of days ago.

This is a decent read in the Daily Mail, of all places.

‘State’s going to s**t!’ Aaron Rodgers blasts California’s COVID closures he says destroyed small businesses in his hometown and lashes woke new ‘misinformation’ bill for doctors

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has told how COVID-19 lockdowns during the pandemic affected businesses in his hometown
Rodgers told how the rules led to businesses in the small town he is from shutting down
Rodgers expressed doubts about a forthcoming bill that Governor Gavin Newsom is due to sign that would punish doctors for spreading misinformation on COVID-19
Rodgers has openly opposed vaccine mandates explaining it as a form of bodily autonomy from government

Now the Saudis are throwing it back in Biden’s face with a pledge to cut production instead of increasing it, in order to keep prices high.

It is a truly grotesque abdication of U.S. leadership.

Yet these Democrat politicians have the nerve to claim that their disastrous and shambolic energy policies are somehow to be admired and replicated.

Smallpox could be eradicated, IIRC, because it had no animal reservoirs.

Elimination of a pathogen by vaccination requires ALL of the following:

1) No animal reservoir (if there is one, the pathogen just leaks back into the human population).
2) A sterilising vaccine (each vaccinated person has to be dead end for the virus).
3) A sufficiently rapid vaccination programme that you vaccinate everyone before it mutates around the vaccine.

You will note that NONE of these criteria were met for COVID, meaning it was NEVER going to be possible to eliminate it with the vax campaigns. They knew this from the start. Its basic immunology.

Ukraine suffers massive blackout after ‘Russian strikes’

President Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed energy shortages across multiple regions of the country

Multiple regions of southeastern Ukraine suffered electricity shortages and blackouts late on Sunday.

President Vladimir Zelensky has said the cause was missile attacks by Moscow on “critical infrastructure.”

Full blackouts have hit Kharkov and Donetsk regions, Zelensky said in a social media post, apparently referring to the Ukrainian-controlled part of Donetsk People’s Republic. Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Zaporozhye and Odessa regions have been hit by partial blackouts, according to the president, who blamed the incident on “Russian terrorists.”

So, far Moscow has remained silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying its involvement. Still, the incident has been preceded by a reported launch of multiple cruise missiles from Russian ships positioned in the Black and Caspian Seas.

Footage circulating online shows the aftermath of the purported attacks, with firefighters trying to extinguish flames at what appear to be power plants.

Another video, purportedly shot in Poltava, shows a trolleybus that caught fire, apparently due to a power surge in the grid

The blackout has affected the operations of Ukrainian railways, which reported delays across the country. It also brought the subway system in the eastern city of Kharkov to a halt the, footage circulating online purports to show.

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to compare covid vax to the annual flu vax? Also, I don’t think anyone noteworthy was saying (at least in 2021) the covid vax was going to eradicate covid. It was always that we were heading towards a flu vax like environment.

German recession ‘inevitable’ – Deutsche Bank

Soaring energy costs are hurting EU’s largest economy, according to CEO Christian Sewing

The engine of European economic development, Germany, is set for a contraction, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing warned this week, as cited by CNBC.

According to the media outlet, Sewing said in a speech at the Handelsblatt Banking Summit in Frankfurt that the war in Ukraine “destroyed a number of certainties” on which the global economic system had been predicated over the past few decades.

He reportedly cited disrupted global value and supply chains, along with a bottleneck in the labor market and a shortage of gas and electricity leading to soaring costs, as key reasons why the Eurozone inflation is at record highs.

“As a result, we will no longer be able to avert a recession in Germany. Yet we believe that our economy is resilient enough to cope well with this recession — provided the central banks act quickly and decisively now,” Sewing reportedly stated.

The Deutsche chief pointed out that, for now, many in Germany still have pandemic savings to fall back on in order to meet skyrocketing energy costs, while most companies remain “sufficiently financed.”

“But the longer inflation remains high, the greater the strain and the higher the potential for social conflict,” he warned.

Sewing also urged the German leaders to accelerate the nation’s decoupling from China. He indicated that China accounts for around 8% of German exports and 12% of imports, while more than one-tenth of the sales of companies listed on the German DAX stock index go to China.

“Reducing this dependency will require a change no less fundamental than decoupling from Russian energy,” the chief executive said.
