“It’s Over”: As Far As Wall Street Is Concerned, COVID Is History

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Zero Hedge: At the end of January, when looking at the plunge in covid cases, deaths and hospitalizations we asked a question: “Is it almost over?”

We got the answer today, when BofA published its latest Fund Manager Survey (which as is the tradition every month, polled some 220 panelists with $630bn in AUM). The title said it all.

Of course, the social impact of the covid pandemic is far from over and in fact, now that the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine is on the ropes, it appears that Europe (for various political and monetary reasons) may be relapsing and get yet another round of lockdowns soon. But at least as far as markets are concerned, Covid is officially yesterday’s news and is no longer the biggest bogeyman on Wall Street.

Indeed, as the March BofA fund manager survey (which was taken between March 5 and 11) reveals, COVID-19 is no longer the #1 “tail risk” for the first time since Feb’20… Read more

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

WND: Amid reports of dangerous blood clots in some recepients, Germany, France, Italy and Spain became the latest nations to suspend use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The company and European regulators insist the vaccine is not to blame, the Associated Press reported.

AstraZeneca argues there have been 37 reports of blood clots out of more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union and Britain.

However, 54,571 adverse events have been reported in Europe in association with the AstraZeneca vaccine, including at least 198 deaths. Read More

ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIND IN JUDEA: BIBLICAL PARCHMENT OF PROPHETS FROM BAR-KOKHBA ERA

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Israel 365: Dozens of fragments of a biblical scroll from the Bar Kokhba period, a 6,000-year-old skeleton of a child, and the oldest complete basket in the world were found by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) in the Judean Desert Nature Reserve. This marks the first time in approximately 60 years that archaeological excavations uncovered fragments of a biblical scroll.

VERSES FROM ZECHARIAH ON PARCHMENT

The scroll, which was written in Greek, includes portions of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets, including the books of Zechariah and Nahum. The IAA operation was aimed at preventing the looting of antiquities in the Judean Desert.

Verses from Zechariah written in Greek were discovered on dozens of parchment fragments found in a cave where Jewish refugees hid almost 1900 years ago.

6,000-YEAR-OLD MUMMIFIED YOUNG GIRL

In addition to the scroll fragments, the operation uncovered additional extraordinary finds from various periods: a cache of rare coins from the days of Bar-Kokhba, a 6,000-year-old skeleton of a child – likely female, wrapped in a cloth and mummified, and a large complete basket dating back 10,500 years, likely the oldest in the world.

California Proposes School Worship Chants From Bloody, Human-sacrificing Religion

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

The New American: Five hundred years ago, Aztec priests would cut victims’ still-beating hearts from their chests, then toss their lifeless bodies down the steps of a temple that was flanked by towers made entirely of human skulls. Now educators in California, further cutting the heart from our culture, think that worship chants from those priests’ religion should be taught in government schools.

It’s the latest example of how our thought police, who take pains to cancel Dr. Seuss and amorous cartoon skunks, apparently have some odd priorities. As the New York Post reports:

The California Department of Education has proposed an ethnic studies “model curriculum” that includes, among other things, chanting the names of Aztec gods in an attempt to build unity among schoolchildren.

 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

Included in the draft curriculum is a list of “lesson resources” with a chant based on “In Lak Ech,” which it describes as “love, unity, mutual respect,” and “Panche Be,” which it describes as “seeking the roots of truth.”

The chant starts with a declaration that “you are my other me” and “if I do harm to you, I do harm to myself.” Before chanting the name of the Aztec god Tezkatlipoka, the text reads: “Seeking the roots of the truth, seeking the truth of the roots, elders and us youth, (youth), critical thinking through.”

It adds: “Tezkatlipoka, Tezkatlipoka, x2 smoking mirror, self-reflection Tezkatlipoka.”Tezcatlipoca - World History Encyclopedia

Tezkatlipoka is the name of an Aztec god that was honored with human sacrifice.

In Aztec mythology, Tezkatlipoka is the brother of Quetzalcoatl, Huizilopochtli and Xipe Totec — all of whom appear to be invoked in the proposed chant.

Quetzalcoatl, do note, was a feathered serpent “god” in whose name much blood was shed.

So I guess California leftists really do believe in the separation of church and state — literally. But separation of pagan temple (or mosque) and state is a different matter. Read More

COVID-19 no longer top market risk for the first time since February 2020 – BofA fund manager survey

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Forex Live:

  • ‘Long tech’ still the most crowded trade, followed by Bitcoin
  • 15% of investors think US equities are in a bubble
  • 25% say it is an early-stage bull market, 55% say late-stage bull market
  • ~43% of investors think 2% 10-year US yields could cause equities correction
  • Cash levels up to 4.0% (still low) from 3.8% before
  • Allocation to commodities at all-time high
Some interesting insights as to how market sentiment is developing. The low cash levels continue to highlight that investors are still preferring to find places to put their money where possible, with some potentially positioning for a ‘commodities supercycle’.
Other than that, the shift in the top market risk also reaffirms how little emphasis is put on the virus impact and how market participants are now focusing more towards the outlook and economic reopenings more than anything else. Read More

Anti-Semite-in-Chief

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Front Page Mag: Dear Mr. Dohle and Ms. McIntosh:

We write on behalf of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest and one of the largest pro-Israel organizations in the U.S.  The ZOA is a leader in fighting against antisemitism and anti-Israel bias wherever these problems arise.

“A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies shall perish.” Proverbs 19:9

Having received complaints from our supporters and conducting our own review, we are deeply concerned about the factual inaccuracies, material omissions and outright falsehoods contained in one of your recent publications – “A Promised Land” by former U.S. President Barack Obama.  The many errors are serious and damaging.  The book has already reached and influenced millions of readers and will impact many more.  We expect that this book will be assigned reading in schools and at colleges and universities, affecting how young people and future leaders perceive Israel.  Obama’s many factual errors and misleading statements will likely be repeated and quoted in articles and other books.  As a result, millions of people will be misled into drawing false and negative conclusions about Jews and Israel.

To paraphrase Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, President Obama is entitled to his own opinions about Israel, which he expresses in Chapter 25 of his book.  But he is not entitled to his own facts.

Excerpt:

Obama Falsehood #7 (at p. 624):  The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) arose after the Six-Day War, as a “result” of “Palestinians living within the occupied territories . . .”

The Facts:  As President Obama knew or should have known, the PLO did not arise after the Six-Day War as a result of Palestinians living in territories captured by Israel. The PLO arose three years before the war, in 1964, when Jordan occupied and controlled the so-called West Bank, and Egypt controlled Gaza.

Obama also knew or should have known that prior to the 1967 war, the PLO was not concerned about addressing “Palestinians living within the occupied territories.”  The PLO never called on Jordan or Egypt to create an independent Palestinian Arab state in these territories.  The PLO’s goal, set out in its charter, was the destruction of Israel.

Biden In Neverland – Ignoring Leftist Threats Facing American Cities

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

And Magazine: The thing about lying is that it can become a kind of trap. If you tell lies big enough, long enough, ultimately there is no way to escape from the fantasy world you have built. You are forced to continue to function as if the lies were true.

“It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness,
For a throne is established by righteousness.” Proverbs 16:12″ NKJV

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came to office based on a whole series of statements and representations that were demonstrably false. They told us, for instance, for months that the violent Marxist attacks on our major cities were simply peaceful protests by American citizens fed up with President Trump and his fascist supporters. Never mind the smoking ruins and the billions in damages.

Since coming to office Biden and Harris and their lackeys in the Department of Homeland Security have doubled down on this fiction. There is no enduring threat from the left. There is, however, a major, existential threat to the republic from a massive underground white supremacist network that any day now will sweep into Washington and raise the Nazi flag over the Capitol.

To counter the imminent invasion of camouflaged Neanderthals with AR-15’s, deer rifles and John Deere hats, the Capitol has been ringed with defenses. Thousands of National Guard personnel stand guard day and night, staring at the empty Mall and likely wondering what the hell they are doing.

Meanwhile, of course, out in the real world the Marxist and Anarchist groups that burned America for much of 2020 have not gone away. To the contrary, in the runup to the trial of Derek Chauvin, the officer charged with killing George Floyd, they have gained new energy and new purpose. They are preparing – as you read this – to take Minneapolis apart. In virtually every other major city actions in solidarity with Minneapolis are already underway, and the planning for what to do when and if Chauvin is not convicted is in high gear.

It would be prudent then for the federal government to be acting accordingly. The punch has been telegraphed. Absent a miracle we are going to get hit, and we are going to get hit hard. Read More

“We Are Hungry” – Violent Protests Erupt As Lebanon ‘Hyperinflation’ Accelerates

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

Zero Hedge: Despite the government’s attempt to crack down on illicit trading, Lebanon’s currency collapse has accelerated and with it the economy and people’s living standards. It appears the Lebanese people have had enough, and widespread protests pose the biggest threat to the nation’s stability since the 1975-1990 civil war…

“You have sown much, and bring in little;
You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And he who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Haggai 1:6

Lebanon is heavily reliant on imports, particularly of commodities and consumer goods, and recent price surges have worsened the situation for an already beleaguered population, now living under the specter of potential widespread hunger.

Report: Joe Biden Plans First Major Tax Hike in a Generation

Written on . Posted in PT Global Economy.

Breitbart: President Joe Biden is considering a tax hike to underwrite the economic program launched by the approval of his $1.9 trillion pandemic stimulus package, a Monday report by Bloomberg claims. The tax jump will be the first major move in federal taxes in almost 30 years if successful.

” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Matthew 22:21

Bloomberg quotes unidentified sources to outline the increases will back Biden’s promises made during his 2020 campaign.

An independent analysis of the Biden campaign’s tax plan conducted by the Tax Policy Center found it would raise around $2.1 trillion over 10 years, according to the report.

Tax hikes included as part of infrastructure and job packages will likely include repealing part of former President Trump‘s 2017 tax law that benefitted corporations and wealthy individuals, the news outlet notes, citing sources close to the matter.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden twice flagged his desire to raise taxes on everyone, including the middle class, during last year’s presidential debates. Read More

Dianne Feinstein Cites ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Concerns in Push to Ban AR-15s

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Breitbart: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is citing “domestic terrorism” concerns in her latest push to ban AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic rifles.

Breitbart News noted Feinstein’s new ban, the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” was put forward Thursday with at least 34 Senate Democrat co-sponsors.

But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. Mark 3:27 ESV

The bill is designed to ban 205 different firearms, including different variants of the wildly popular AR-15 rifle.

The New York Post reports Feinstein is citing “domestic terrorism” as an impetus for the ban. She said, “We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups.”

Feinstein’s legislation would also ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Read More
