“FLATTENED ECONOMY"
Who will pay the costs of the economic breakdown?
By Charles H. Slim
It goes without saying that
after you get out of this state of "isolation" that has destroyed the
production systems of most countries on earth, there will come a black and more
conflictive time in which the strongest and most Pressure resources will be
able to impose their conditions (including total control) to try to revive
their own economies without scruple of having to satiate themselves with the
natural and strategic resources of other countries.
The North
American case is from a book. No one can deny that in the last thirty years up
to this part, the US as a nation state and in association with private
corporations from various fields of the economy (Defense, Oil, Construction,
Services, etc.) have fattened their profits and monopolized resources energy
from third countries due to brutal armed interventions against their
sovereignties and the consequent result of misery, instability and death of the
intervened settlers.
Although his
"Think Tanks" make laudable argumentative efforts to try to revive
some of the old glories of American politics, his own miseries are so many that
they cover those attempts. It should not be forgotten that neither Democrats
nor Republicans have given the world something with nothing in return. The
Americans did not free Europe from the "Nazi threat" alone. Nor did
they help the Europeans to rebuild their cities without a juicy and even
usurious consideration (Marshall Plan) and the claim that they "defeated
Communism" is also highly debatable, that is false. Closer in time, its
invasions based on fraudulent information were not motivated by "spreading
democracy" or "freeing the peoples from the threat of terrorism";
just go to those places and see what they have left.
That is why in
the current crisis, the US will not do anything if there is no reward behind
that serves to try to reactivate the catastrophic economic-financial situation
that lies behind the pandemic.
While
governments subordinate to the directives of this other government of
virologists and epidemiologists who perpetuate the crisis with their reports of
panic, the centers of power prepare their structures (especially the AI) to
change the paradigm of social life, free movement of citizens, long-distance
travel and production that is framed by a gigantic, extensive and sophisticated
control system.
Now, in the
midst of this gigantic health crisis that is causing human casualties in its
own territory as no war has ever done before and destroying its production and
trade system like no enemy bombardment has ever done within borders, what do
you think will happen when bureaucrats in Washington need more resources to
rebuild their already fictitious economy that has stopped more than 25 million
workers? Are Trump and his supporters within the Establishment planning a new
war?

The miniature
example of what will happen has already been seen in the state of Michigan,
where hundreds of men and women armed with semi-automatic assault rifles (of
all calibers and brands) took the state legislature demanding that the
quarantine be lifted. prevents working. For Donald Trump it was about
"good people who love their country"; for the critics of these
expressions, "one more sample of what the US has inside its own
house." For those who do not know. White supremacist armed gangs and
extreme right-wing extremists linked to ultramontane sects have a long and
bloody history within the country. Does anyone remember what happened in Oklahoma
in 1995?

The images were not far from those we saw in Iraq when the resistance
was taking over buildings from the invaders.
This at the same
time feeds back the excuses of the argumentators of the need to strengthen
internal security with the establishment of programs to intervene invasive
communications of privacy, checkpoints of the National Guard and the army so
that "the Constitution is respected." Undoubtedly, it is part of the
sinister game that the American political institutions have used to the point
of exhaustion and that is now emerging within borders.
Despite the
massive media terror campaign that is spreading globally -and very
particularly in Argentina- many have strongly criticized that the real deaths
caused by COVID-19 are not what the media has been spreading.
Even that the
statistics shown are manipulated to achieve that effect of fear among the
population. One of the critical voices that support these positions comes from
the American doctor Annie Bukacek who has bluntly denounced that the figures
have been deliberately inflated.
The sanitary
measures suggested by the WHO and which have caused the abrupt brake on the
global economy pose between choosing "get infected and die from
COVID-19" or "lose your job". The dilemma offered by this
discourse and which is amplified by the media is certainly misleading and its
first intention is to discipline the population masses, even at the cost of
their rights.
But the
controversy does not come only from adverse political sectors to continue with
this hidden state of exception. The reasons for not believing in this
"catastrophism" so well amplified by television screens are supported
by broad sectors of the scientific and medical field that have obviously been
silenced by the Western Establishment.
There is a
pleiad of doctors and infectologists who have been ignored and vetoed from the
mass media for criticizing and even labeling the measures being taken as
"Dangerous and grotesque". The case of Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, a
specialist in microbiology, professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in
Mainz and director of the Institute for Microbiology and Medical Hygiene and
one of the most cited research scientists in the history of Germany, has
pointed out measures against the COVID-19 as: "grotesque, absurd and very
dangerous ... The life expectancy of millions is being shortened," he
assured.
Similarly, Dr.
Wolgfam Wodarg, a specialist in pulmonology, politician and former president of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, went further and has
denounced the avidity of some scientists and laboratories to make money with
fear, along with the complacency of sectors of politics.
These
testimonies and many others reveal a deliberate creation of this state of
terror that guarantees productive immobility, the state of collective suspicion
that dissociates relations between people and that will lead to the breakdown
of the global economy that at the same time will undoubtedly bring, the
establishment of a new Status Quo by the hand of a group of financial powers
who will condition the lives of citizens with the implementation of new and
extraordinary measures.
In the case of
the Southern Cone, some governments have taken extreme paths and have ignored
the existence of the Coronavirus causing a massive spread of infections that
does not automatically mean the death of the infected person. The case of
Brazil is central and despite the fact that President Bolsonaro resisted from
the beginning quarantining the entire population (which entailed stopping the
country), the pressure of the productive sectors and the same need of the
inhabitants of the lower class led for an important part of its population to
lean towards supporting the production process as much as possible.
From the media -like the Argentines without knowing that reality- it did not take long to
question and blame these resolutions. When Bolsonaro could not be ridiculed
further, they passed the crude and direct injury that certainly does not affect
the mood of the Rio de Janeiro president, coincidentally and with regard to
Argentina, he is on the opposite side of this position. His government has been
an attached and self-sacrificing compliance with each of the measures that have
come down from the WHO and that are interpreted and mediated by sensationalist
doctors and journalists dedicated to maintaining the catastrophic atmosphere
that so many rating points give.
The obsequence
for these places reaches such a point that the Alberto Fernández government
would be monitoring communications and network posts to combat the "fake
News", something credible after the installation during the Macri era of
listening and interception equipment on Israeli line. Perhaps the real concern
is about the abusive and inconsistent policies being seen with the increases in
the subsistence allowances of its officials, the creation of more taxes and the
imposition of priceless fines for citizens who do not have a job ... what a
democracy!
But, if we pay
attention to what virologists and dissident experts have pointed out about the
policy of a permanent quarantine, it is not understood why policies of a
selective quarantine have not been adopted that protect vulnerable subjects
(elderly, young people with heart problems, etc. ) and promote the continuity
of the production chain that, in addition to supporting the economy, will
maintain the mental health of those who are immobilized.
It is clear that
the measures suggested by virologists such as Ferguson and that the WHO adopted
as an indisputable word, will destroy the economy of many countries and with
it, other tragedies will be unleashed that will undoubtedly cause many more
deaths and in a cruel way, driven by survival.
Undoubtedly,
this is a new chapter of the plan to establish a global Control of the entire
population, which under the excuses of this oversized situation, would be much
more invaded by the state as it had been tolerating it since 2001 with the
argument of the fight against Terrorism.
