Collapse
Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new president will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Meet Michael Ruppert, a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness, at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. Director Chris Smith has shown an affinity for outsiders in films like American Movie and The Yes Men. In Collapse, he departs stylistically from his past documentaries by interviewing Ruppert in a format that recalls the work of Errol Morris and Spalding Gray. Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate about the issue of peak oil, the concern raised by scientists since the seventies that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesn’t hold back at sounding an alarm, portraying an apocalyptic future. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded, and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments. Collapse also serves as a portrait of a loner. Over the years, Ruppert has stood up for what he believes in despite fierce opposition. He candidly describes the sacrifices and motivators in his life. While other observers analyze details of the economic crisis, Ruppert views it as symptomatic of nothing less than the collapse of industrial civilization itself.

The Fat Boy acts:
“In 2005, during the H1N5 bird flu scare, the US Agency for International Development ran a program called Predict to identify and research infectious diseases in animal populations in the developing world. Most new viruses that impact humans — apparently including the one causing the Covid-19 disease — emerge through this route, so investing in early research is the kind of thing that, at modest ongoing cost, served to reduce the likelihood of rare but catastrophic events.
The program was initiated under George W. Bush and continued through Barack Obama’s eight years in office; then, last fall the Trump administration shut it down.

“Decoupling Accelerates: Google And Microsoft Shift Production From China”
https://tinyurl.com/tmrbozb zero hedge
“Earlier this month, we mentioned how the Covid-19 outbreak would force companies with high centration of supply chains in China to “rework” operations to other countries to avoid future disruptions. Nikkei Asian Review confirmed our thoughts on Wednesday when sources said Google and Microsoft, who are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions in China, will shift production of their phones, computers, and other devices to factories in Vietnam and Thailand in the coming months…But here’s the dilemma, even if Google and Microsoft move production lines to Vietnam and Thailand, many of the parts used in their products are from China. The next obstacle that both companies have to overcome is finding alternative suppliers. “It’s reasonable for companies like Google to want to speed up its pace of diversifying from China amid the coronavirus threat, while the trade war remains an uncertainty. But even if the final assembly process is outside of China, suppliers still need to ship some components from the country. … It’s a matter of the supply chain ecosystem, which takes time to rebuild,” IDC tech analyst Joey Yen told Nikkei. It remains to be seen just how significant the impact of the epidemic on Google and Microsoft will be, but already judging by the supply chain shifts out of China and possible supplier issues that may occur after, it seems the virus impact is going to be a full year problem.”

“Coronavirus Paralyzes Global Credit Market As New Issuance Crashes To Zero”
https://tinyurl.com/v32mzld zero hedge
“In the early days, when virtually nobody paid attention to the coronavirus pandemic which China was doing everything in its power to cover up, markets were not only predictably ignoring the potential global plague – after all central banks can always print more money, or is that antibodies – but until last week, were hitting all time highs. All that changed when it became apparent that for all its data manipulation, China was simply unable to reboot its economy as hundreds of millions of workers refused to believe the government had the viral plague under control, starting a potentially catastrophic 2,3 month countdown to millions of small and medium Chinese businesses going bankrupt, resulting not only in untold devastation in the world’s 2nd largest economy but paralyzing and crippling supply chains across the world. Worse, it also triggered the biggest equity selloff in years. And now, the coronavirus pandemic is about to leave yet another market in critical condition as the global credit machine is grinding to a halt. As Bloomberg points out, the $2.6 trillion international bond market, where the world’s biggest companies raise money to fund everything from acquisitions to factory upgrades, came to a virtual standstill as the coronavirus spreads panic across company boardrooms…The biggest concern however: with bond markets frozen, just how will IG-rated companies obtain the funding they need to keep buying back their stock, and pushing the market higher. In fact, one can argue that the freeze of the credit market is far more dangerous to the stock market than the inability to refinance a 1% bond with something paying 0.5%. If that’s the case, expect far more pain for stocks in coming weeks and months as the market’s entire buyback spree of the past three years goes into a very painful and dramatic reverse.”

“Opinion: If the coronavirus isn’t contained, a severe global recession is almost certain”
https://tinyurl.com/w9l9pth market watch
“Could GDP contract 4.5%? Many economists have tried to model the economic consequences of a pandemic. CBO did a study in 2005 and 2006, modeling the impact of a 1918-sized flu pandemic on the economy. They found that a pandemic “could produce a short-run impact on the worldwide economy similar in depth and duration to that of an average postwar recession in the United States.” Specifically, a severe pandemic could reduce U.S. gross domestic product by about 4.5%, followed by a sharp rebound. The CBO assumed that 90 million people in the U.S. would get sick, and 2 million would die. There would also be demand-side effects, with an 80% decline in the arts and entertainment industries and a 67% decline in transportation. Retail and manufacturing would drop 10%. The U.S. wasn’t prepared for a flu pandemic then, the CBO said, and it isn’t now…Quarantining the economy Much of the immediate economic impact of a pandemic can be traced to the efforts to contain it, rather than from the effects of the disease itself. As we attempt to quarantine those who might spread the disease, we shut down a lot of economic activity. The quarantines might be the only way to slow the spread of COVID-19, but they could also hamper our response. Our health-care system also relies on vital inputs for medicines, supplies and equipment produced all over the world, including China and other hard-hit Asian economies. And of course we rely on the free flow of thousands of other goods and services. The potential for disaster is sobering. The economies of the world are extraordinarily resilient, yet extraordinarily dependent upon each other in a crisis. Sadly, the things we need most to get us through this — wise leadership, global cooperation and clear thinking — are harder to find than a surgical mask.”

“How Many Cases of Covid-19 Will It Take For You to Decide Not to Frequent Public Places?”
https://tinyurl.com/w6u9wq7 charles hugh smith
“How many cases of Covid-19 in your community will it take for you to decide not to frequent public places such as cafes, restaurants, theaters, concerts, etc? How many cases in your community will it take for you to decide not to take public transit, Uber/Lyft rides, etc.? How many cases in your community will it take for you to limit going to supermarkets and ask your boss to work at home? One of the most unexamined aspect of the Covid-19 pandemic is the human psychology of risk assessment and fear. The default human response to novel threats such as the Covid-19 virus is denial and abstraction: it can’t happen here, it won’t happen to me, it’s no big deal, etc. This careless denial of danger and urgency characterized the official response in China before the epidemic exploded and it characterizes the lackadaisical sloppiness of official response in the U.S…For many people, even a handful of cases will be a tremendous shock because they were unrealistically confident that it can’t happen here. The realization that the virus is active locally and can be spread by people who don’t have any symptoms shatters the comfortable complacency and introduces a chilling reality: what was an abstraction is now real Human psychology is exquisitely attuned to risk once it moves from abstraction to reality. Why take a chance unless absolutely necessary? For many people, the first handful of local cases will be enough to cancel all exposure to optional public gatherings: cafes, bistros, theaters, concerts, etc…If you doubt this impulse to over-reaction once abstraction gives way to reality, look at how quickly market shelves are stripped in virus-affected areas. Once we understand what rationalists might declare over-reaction is merely prudence when faced with difficult-to-assess dangers, we realize that there’s a bubble not just in the stock market and Big Tech but in complacency.”

“The Four Dimensions of Change”
https://tinyurl.com/voqoucr resilience
“The first dimension consists of “holding actions,” that is, efforts to slow down the damage of our current ecologically-destructive consumptive society. In essence, saving what we can of Earth and biodiversity and “caring for those that have been damaged” by “the unraveling of our social fabric.” While essential, these are defensive acts, as Macy and Johnstone explain. “For every acre of forest protected, many others are lost,” and therefore will never, alone, get us to a Great Turning… The second dimension is one of “Life-sustaining systems and practices.” These are the efforts to transform our cultures to reorient them on sustainability instead of consumerism and growth. I’ve explored this dimension for years and they occur on a vast array of scales, from the micro- to the macro… “these new structures won’t take root and survive without deeply ingrained values to sustain them.”… Cultivating and sustaining these values is the third dimension, the “Shift in Consciousness.” In the Yale article, Buzzell described it this way: “Raise your level of consciousness. And that could be getting more scientific information, or it could be doing some kind of consciousness practice like meditation or perhaps spending time by yourself alone out in nature.”… We take part in this third dimension of the Great Turning when we pay attention to the inner frontier of change, to the personal and spiritual development that enhances our capacity and desire to act for our world. By strengthening our compassion, we give fuel to our courage and determination. By refreshing our sense of belonging in the world, we widen the web of relationships that nourishes us and protects us from burnout. In the past, changing the self and changing the world were often regarded as separate endeavors and viewed in either-or terms. But in the story of the Great Turning, they are recognized as mutually reinforcing and essential to one another… But in this case the fourth dimension could simply be time. Our culture exacerbates time stress in myriad ways—from obsession with aging and mortality, to “buy now” advertising and constant tech upgrades, to poorly communicated environmental warnings like we have just “12 years to limit climate catastrophe.” But truthfully this may all be counterproductive and anxiety-producing, and frankly, is just wrong. The window to “save the planet” probably closed 40 or 50 years ago… Instead, we need to look at this as a lifelong journey (or even our own personal hero quests) rather than a sprint. And as we embark on these journeys, we have to ask ourselves: How, over the course of my lifetime, will my actions, my relationships, my work, and words help in healing Gaia?… In that process, we must also recognize that the only scale to measure this should be oriented on you—on your position in society”
REAL Green on Thu, 27th Feb 2020 5:47 am
REAL Green is about a journey and the behavior during that journey that manifests itself in the building up of localism. REAL Green is green prepping which is a hybrid prepping of enhancing localism to boost resilience and sustainability. Normal prepping is often about isolation with a bunker mentality. REAL Green recognizes the need for strategies to protect your local from outside shocks but the key is recognizing that no amount of prepping will ensure survival. Instead REAL Green recognizes that shocks can vary with the shock of the steady decline of the planet and human system being a priority. Addressing this type of shock also enhances one’s ability to deal with specific shocks that are more dramatic and more localized.
The journey is first and foremost one of behavior, attitudes, and lifestyles. One of the most important aspects to this mental condition is the acceptance of decline with the corresponding pessimism but a pessimism that is optimistic. This juxtaposition is because the journey that is a way of life creates meaning and hope. The meaning is active efforts at survival strategies. This is an art lost on the modern human. Our ancestors lived the constant threat of a collapse in their local. Back then globalism was not present to jump in and mitigate localized failures. The hope comes from feeling your preparedness will allow a better chance of survival.
REAL Green is more than the preoccupation with decline and collapse because it is a green way of life. This green way of life involves permaculture strategies, embraced simplicity, and restoration of nature in the local. This means even if the techno optimists are correct and the human experiment will succeed long into the future a REAL Green who embraces decline is still a success because of the rewards of permaculture and localism. Real Green is for everyone and every local because it is a way of life that seeks relative change in hybridization of the old and new. The relative part allows anyone to adapt and mitigate their local away from delocalization and towards localism. It allows a guilt reduction and a way to address helplessness. REAL Green acknowledges and accepts we are carbon trapped in path dependencies so there is no way to transcend this determinism. This difference allow meaning to all adaptation and mitigation strategies. It allows a spiritual dignity of decline when one realizes this decline is the force present with the planet but also human systemness.
So, this REAL Green journey is a spiritual one that manifests itself in action. Prepping and permaculture come from the realization the status quo is going in the wrong direction. Limits and diminishing returns are recognized. More efficiency and power do not make life better beyond a point. This then leads to efforts at scaling. This scaling is relative to a local, the people in that local and one’s position in that local. This influences an attempt to lower one’s footprint for the planet but also resilience. This is done respecting the fact we are trapped so one can only disengage so much from the delocalization of modern life. Most can’t quit their job or move. Those who can should if it is determined that a local and their community is not a positive one.
REAL Green on Thu, 27th Feb 2020 5:48 am
REAL Green is economic. Embracing permaculture, prepping, and localization means less economic return. The old ways of carbon capture involve small value returns that require much more labor. Therefore, REAL Green is hybrid and involves relative efforts. You will have to remain status quo too and this means behavioral strategies are essential. You are going to be poorer in things but richer in value. You will need to triage out the superfluous to get lean. This leanness is boosted by the redundancy of prepping. Stocking up and adding equipment that is not immediately put to work has a cost. This lowers the return to REAL Green, but it also offers insurance and strength. The key becomes the balance of the status quo with scaling. Each local and individual has a different profile, but many similarities exist. This involves farming but also home economics and crafts.
Advanced REAL Green becomes a monastery of knowledge and things that is a seed bank for future change. The future is our youth and they will need education. Once the basics of REAL Green scaling are accomplished and there is a functionality to the effort then efforts at training and restoration can be applied to neighbors and nearby space. This must often be done in stealth because it is an alternative lifestyle that carries a risk of being seen as nutter. Be careful in how much is revealed. The gift of REAL Green is for the awakened to planetary and human decline not status quo promoters. These promoters are both green and brown. Fake greens want affluence and green and this is not green. Browns want whatever produces growth. Both mindsets are delusional about limits and decline. They can be harnessed to enhance a REAL Green local because REAL Green is about using the best products and practices of the status quo of delocalization to enhance the old-world ways proven for a millennium of human survival. Instead of globalism destroying the local in delocalization a REAL Green uses these delocalizing forces to boost the local.
Finally, this is about humility to the planet and to your significant others. The humility to the planet is the understanding the planet acquiesces your living. Second is the fact that you are awakened to acceptance and honest science means it is your duty to be other oriented. You are tasked with helping others to be REAL Green not as one preaches a religion or a cult because REAL Green is local and individual, it is about offering an add-on to one’s existing higher power meaning by including nature and the decline process into their meaning. The humility comes with being a shaman. A shaman allows the planet to speak through them and that power is not for their own possession. This is important because one usurps this planetary power for one’s own gain it is lost.

“HOW THE DUTCH USE ARCHITECTURE TO FEED THE WORLD”
https://tinyurl.com/r8vhm6v agritecture
“Dutch agriculture is defined by vast landscapes of greenhouses, some covering 175 acres, which dominate the architectural landscape of South Holland. In total, the country contains 36 square miles of greenhouses, an area 56% larger than the island of Manhattan. In the Westland region, appropriately dubbed the “greenhouse capital of the Netherlands” by National Geographic, greenhouses are stitched into the landscape, filling the voids between cities, suburbs, and industrial plants. As National Geographic elaborated, these landscapes are often defined by “banks of what appear to be gargantuan mirrors stretch[ed] across the countryside, glinting when the sun shines and glowing with eerie interior light when night falls…Underneath the sea of illuminated glass roofs, tech-savvy farmers use hydroponic systems and geothermal energy to generate unparalleled yields using little resources. Dutch greenhouses use 1.1 gallons of water per pound of tomatoes produced, in contrast to the 25.6-gallon global average, with some farmers producing over 100 million tomatoes per year from 14 hectares of land. This is made possible due to a controlled indoor environment, where precise, reliable temperatures and humidities are married with low threat of contamination and no pesticides. The environmental performance of the greenhouses is informed by architectural considerations. Double-glazed roofs allow for the retention of heat, while light modular steel frames allow for rapid expansion and adaption, without hampering natural light. Operators such as Duijvestijn Tomatoes are more innovative still, with CO2 from a local Shell oil refinery piped into the greenhouses to aid plant growth, while LED lights allow for plants to continue growing throughout the night.”

Just go, BoJo, the post-WW2-West is over. We are all wasting our time. Go play with the Americans while we cozy up with Russians:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8050393/Boris-Johnson-sets-vision-Canada-style-trade-deal-EU.html
“June or bust: Boris Johnson warns EU that the UK will walk away from post-Brexit trade talks in just FOUR MONTHS’ time if Brussels refuses to agree to a Canada-style deal“
The EU will not give defectors anything. You don’t want to be our geopolitical friend? Ok, your free choice. We’re not going to bomb you back in the EU. But the EU is much more than a Common Market, it is a long-term political project and in principle open for the 200 million Europeans of Russia, Ukraine and Belorus (5 million Euro’s more than the US has). The 640 million of Euro-Siberia are more than enough for Europe and North-America to swap roles. And that is precisely what Macron and Putin intend to do. The English can be missed like the plague for that project to succeed.
Bye-bye, BoJo! The EU will pretend to negotiate, gain time, while BoJo understands the talks with Brussels are going nowhere so HE will pull the plug, so the EU can blame England for both Brexit and no-deal.

“Dow Tumbles Into 10% Correction As Futures Crash, 10Y Yields Plunge To Record Lows On Pandemic Panic”
https://tinyurl.com/vl4ppr9 zero hedge
“After three days of tentative attempts to BTFD in the overnight session, on Thursday for the first time the puke in futures and global markets was so widespread that “pajama traders” did not pass go and proceeded to sell without prejudice…… as S&P 500 futures dropped as much as 1.6% and threatened to slide below 3,000 today, while Dow Jones futs were down more than 375 points lower, sending the broad index into correction territory, down 3000 points from its last week highs. The MSCI All-Country World Index fell for a sixth straight day, with Japan’s Topix and the Stoxx Europe 600 leading declines among major indexes. The same risk aversion that was sparked in recent days by a growing pandemic panic, drove global stocks lower on Thursday, increasing their drop in value this week alone to more than $3 trillion…… and U.S. Treasuries yields hit record lows just below 1.28% after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first U.S. coronavirus case of unknown origin. … as the coronavirus spread faster outside China than in, with South Korea reporting a whopping 505 new cases, nearly double the 284 on February 25, pushing total cases to 1766 and a 13th coronavirus-related death reported. Overnight President Trump named Vice President Mike Pence to lead the government’s preparations to tackle the virus outbreak and sought to reassure the public that the authorities are ready to handle the situation; at the same time California reported the first US coronavirus case which had been the result of “community transmision”, and whose origin was unknown. “The fact that, not only is there no sign yet of the pathogen being contained, but rather we now also face the specter of it spreading through the U.S., will continue to weigh on the global macro outlook for the coming months,” Simon Ballard, chief economist at First Abu Dhabi Bank, wrote in a note. “Buckle up for continued high volatility and escalating risk aversion.” Meanwhile, next door Japan’s ruling party is reportedly considering an extra budget to tackle the virus outbreak, according to Nikkei, as Germany reported 9 new cases of coronavirus so far on February 26, whilst Denmark reported its first case. As traders scrambled for some clarity amid the panic, global equities have now fallen for six straight days, and Wall Street’s volatility gauge was near its late-2018 highs.”

“The Economic Cataclysm Ahead”
https://tinyurl.com/qntqlgy Charles hugh smith
“Do the math, people. The coronavirus is already in the U.S. but authorities have no way to track it due to its spread by asymptomatic carriers. People who don’t even know they have the virus are flying to intermediate airports outside China and then catching flights to the U.S. None of the known characteristics of the virus support the confidence being projected by authorities. The tests are not reliable, few are being tested, carriers can’t be detected because they don’t have any symptoms, the virus is highly contagious, thousands of potential carriers continue to arrive in the U.S., etc. etc. etc. The network of global travel remains intact. Removing a few nodes (Wuhan, etc.) does not reduce the entire network’s connectedness that enables the rapid and invisible spread of the virus. Second, what authorities call over-reaction is simply prudent risk management. As I noted yesterday in How Many Cases of Covid-19 Will It Take For You to Decide Not to Frequent Public Places?, when an abstract pandemic becomes real, shelves are emptied and streets are deserted. It doesn’t take thousands of cases to trigger a dramatic reduction in the willingness to mix with crowds of strangers. A relative handful of cases is enough to be consequential. Many of the new jobs created in the U.S. economy over the past decade are in the food and beverage services sector, the sector that is immediately impacted when people decide to lower their risk by staying home rather than going out to crowded restaurants, theaters, bars, etc. Many of these establishments are hanging on by a thread due to soaring rents, taxes, fees, healthcare and wages. Many of the employees are also hanging on by a thread, only making rent if they collect big tips. Central banks can borrow money into existence but they can’t replace lost income. A significant percentage of America’s food and beverage establishments are financially precarious, and their exhausted owners are burned out by the stresses of keeping their business afloat as costs continue rising. The initial financial hit as people reduce their public exposure will be more than enough to cause many to close their doors forever. As small businesses fold, local tax revenues crater, triggering fiscal crises in local government budgets dependent on ever-higher tax and fee revenues. A significant percentage of America’s borrowers are financially precarious, one paycheck or unexpected expense away from defaulting on student loans, subprime auto loans, credit card payments, etc. A significant percentage of America’s corporations are financially precarious, dependent on expanding debt and rising cash flow to service their expanding debt load. Any hit to their revenues will trigger defaults that will then unleash second-order effects in the global financial system. The global economy is so dependent on speculative euphoria, leverage and debt that any external shock will tip it over the cliff. The U.S. economy is far more precarious than advertised as well. The economic storm hasn’t passed; the false calm is only the eye of the financial hurricane.”

Covid19 disease aka pneumonia, is caused by SARS-cov-2 virus. Yes, it’s a new strain of that same one from 2003. What’s different you ask? Globalization. In 2003 the world was way less globalised. If your grandma or mother dies this year from corona virus, write a letter to your local globalist elite intersectional woke liberal rep thanking them for 40 years of globalization. If you are reading this on a device which uses parts made in Asia that used to be made in America, thank yourself. Do yourself a favour vote trump 2020, stop globalism, stop covid19
