Kunstler: Impure Thoughts
What if the Corona virus turns out to be a genuine pandemic with legs, not some punk-ass, flash-in-the-pan bug like SARS… and infects hundreds of millions around the world…? And what if it happens to go logarithmic in the USA, as in China now…? And what if takes a few months, or half a year, to do that…? And what if Americans will not get on airplanes when that happens…? Or gather together in large numbers…? Or if government imposes quarantines …? Will the parties hold their nominating conventions? Might the November election have to be postponed?
Just sayin’… since nobody else seems to be talking about it. A few months ago, nobody was thinking about a disease that would virtually lock-down China’s economy, either… and now here we are. Speaking of which, that lock-down of China’s economy is already generating serious damage to global GDP, after only a few weeks. But nothing shows our detachment from reality like the recent surge in financial market indexes while the Chinese economy was busy shutting down. In particular, one must wonder: What supports the global daisy-chain of debt obligations while all this is going on?
After all, companies doing business need a revenue stream to service their revolving debts. They have to make stuff, and move stuff, and get paid for it. What happens when there is no revenue stream? The workings of this hyper-complex financial system depend utterly on the velocity of these revenue streams. They can’t just… stop! Everybody who follows these things understands that China’s banking system is 1) a hot mess of confabulated public and private lending relationships, 2) completely opaque as regards the true workings of its operations, and 3) shot through with fraud, swindling, and Ponzis. Did China’s ruling party just put its banking system in an induced coma while Corona virus plays out? How can that possibly not affect the rest of global finance, which is plenty janky, too?
The USA gets everything from car parts to pharmaceuticals from China. How long will it take for the manufacturing lock-down to show up in American daily life? What if it continues for some months going forward? You can easily draw your own conclusions.
Here’s another interesting angle on that: Corona virus might give President Donald Trump an easy out from being the bag-holder for a stock market crash and banking train wreck. The signal weakness of Mr. Trump’s term-in-office was his taking ownership of a magical mystery stock market that climbs ever-higher day after day, defying all known rules of physics as applied to money. This longest “expansion” in US history (if that’s what it was, and I’m not so sure about it) seems to have hit a speed bump last September when something broke in the short-term “re-po” lending markets, at which time (and ever since), Jay Powell’s Federal Reserve began jamming hundreds of billions of dollars into them to smash down zooming interest rates and prevent a heart attack in the system. That creation of “liquidity” — money from thin air — appears to have stabilized the situation. But then, it is a peculiar feature of our times that a lot of things have an appearance that doesn’t sync with reality.
In short, if Corona virus and its side-effects do substantially knock down the stock markets, Mr. Trump gets off scot-free on the one thing that has been really propping him up. Not only can he blame a looming market calamity on this black swan pandemic, he can then turn around and play the Franklin Roosevelt role in attempting to rescue the nation from a depression. And then, if the election has to be postponed, we will see a for-sure discontinuity in US political history, consequences as yet unknown.
Meanwhile, schemes continue apace to overthrow Mr. Trump by-hook-or-by-crook before the election, with Sedition Release 4.0 just breaking in the Roger Stone sentencing affair and four prosecutors (three of them Mueller alumni, imagine that!) staging a phony-baloney resignation huff to stir up useful idiots like Rep. Eric Swalwell on the House Intel Committee for the next go at impeachment. Understand, this wicked business is just another ploy engineered by the same combined Deep State / Lawfare scoundrels that ran RussiaGate, MuellerGate, and UkraineGate, and the real purpose of it is to stave off efforts to prosecute a pretty broad network of those same former and current officials in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, State Department, Pentagon, Obama White House, and the Clinton Foundation for seditious conspiracy and, yes, possibly even treason. Personally, I believe that the Attorney General is honestly trying to smoke out the truth in this morass of nefarious intrigues, and that neither attempts to block him by the perps and their allies, nor a visitation of Corona virus across the land, will thwart him.

Here Bloomberg (stand-in?) in a bizarre video from 2006 impersonating Marry Poppins:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfLNRGtMaqo
Bloomberg was performing at the Inner Circle show in 2006, when he did a take-off as Mary Poppins, literally, on his political aspirations for the White House and a nod to his “nanny-statism.” “I’ll tell you where I’m going. First, Iowa. Then New Hampshire. Maybe I can get the whole country to behave!”
Rumours have surfaced that Hillary Clinton could be Bloomberg’s running mate:

Simple. Because you and CloggieTard are perfect negative barometers. Invariably, take the opposite position to the one you two clowns recommend and it will always be correct.
Simple Simon Says on Mon, 17th Feb 2020 8:16 am
Another thing.
DavySkum and CloggieTard complain endlessly about make believe conspiracy theories. What the two clowns fail to explain how is it these dastardly Democratic conspiracies are allowed to stand when their super-hero, TrumpieTard, has occupied the most powerful position in the world for over three years, yet Trumpie’s justice department never investigates much less prosecutes.
Answer: Bullshit conspiracy lies from the board hypocrites, DavySkum and CloggieTard.

Neither the EU nor the UK want a trade deal, but both can’t afford to admit it:

“After years of insisting otherwise, the government just revealed it actually wants no-deal Brexit“
In the end the EU will pivot to Russia and the UK towards the US, exactly as Orwell predicted.

“The Bloomberg disappointment”
https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/usa-michael-bloomberg-wird-bei-tv-debatte-von-demokraten-angegriffen-a-750d0f40-a726-4032-9510-76a35b648593
“He is considered a jolly joker in the pre-election campaign of the US Democrats: For the first time, the former Mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg asked critical questions in a TV debate – and gave a miserable performance.”
“Everything is fake here. The replica of the Eiffel Tower, the “Arc de Triomphe”, the Montgolfier balloon: like most magnificent buildings in Las Vegas, the Casino Hotel Paris is a single dummy made of steel, concrete and plaster. It is meant to suggest to the guests that they are in France and not in the middle of a desert oasis in the US state of Nevada.”
“The staging continues inside the hotel theater, the “Le Théâtre des Arts”. Only this time they built an American backdrop there: a white house that later mutates into a giant digital star banner. Before that, the six candidates almost disappear. Especially Michael Bloomberg, the smallest of them.
It’s not just the set design. That night in Las Vegas, a political illusion bursts – that of the Bloomberg boom.”
“For the first time, New York’s ex-mayor is participating in a TV debate in this pre-election campaign. The multi-billionaire has already spent almost $ 400 million on realizing his presidential dream, with most of the money flowing into TV spots. While the rivals struggled through Iowa and New Hampshire, he flew criss-cross in a private jet through other states that are more important to him in the calendar of this campaign. In some surveys, he was even able to move up to first place without having to ask critical questions. He is the man of the hour to beat. And that’s what the others want.
All on Bloomberg
Bloomberg’s disenchantment is immediate and relentless. From the very first minute, the five other Democrats tear apart the newcomer in their group, attack him, irritate him, expose him, taunt him, and don’t allow him a break. Or they just don’t let him speak, even for half an hour. It is the most heated, biting, and evil debate in this pre-election campaign.”
“Das war zu erwarten. Nicht zu erwarten war aber, dass Bloomberg sich dabei so miserabel schlagen würde: Der 78 Jahre alte Ex-Republikaner wirkt angespannt und arrogant, er verhaspelt sich, seufzt immer wieder laut, beißt die Lippen zusammen, bleibt wichtige Antworten schuldig – und erntet sogar mehrmals laute Buhrufe der 1200 Zuschauer im Saal.”
“Sexism and other problems
Bloomberg’s vulnerabilities are well known. Which is why it is all the more surprising that he is so poorly prepared for the barrage he stumbles into.
– “Stop and frisk”: The controversial, racist police method that Bloomberg enforced as mayor still lingers on to this day. Millions of innocent people were stopped and searched for no reason by police officers, the vast majority of whom were black and Latino. Bloomberg bumpily apologizes (“I asked for forgiveness”), but does not mention that only one court decision ended the practice. Neither the rivals nor the public are satisfied: “You need another excuse,” says Elizabeth Warren.
– Sexism: Dozens of employees in his media group complained about a sexist working atmosphere, many were forced to enter into confidentiality agreements, à la Donald Trump. Here, too, Bloomberg does not give a convincing answer: he pays women as much as men, he says bitingly, as if this invalidates the allegations. When the other candidates ask him to exempt all women from any secrecy in front of running TV cameras at this moment, he only rolls his eyes in annoyance.
– The Money: With nearly $ 65 billion in assets, Bloomberg is the richest presidential candidate. This promptly made him the target of progressive rivals, especially Bernie Sanders. So the senator asks him how many villas he has in which “tax havens”. Bloomberg is piqued: he has made every dollar with difficulty and is donating most of the money to good causes – and the political future of the Democrats. However, his answers are condescending, as if he were already offended by the question.
Otherwise, this debate often suffocates with incomprehensible shouting. The candidates interrupt and drown themselves, cut themselves off, attack each other personally. Everyone against everyone: the mood is more aggressive than ever.”
“You can tell that it’s all about now. The next primaries will be held here in Nevada on Saturday, a week later in South Carolina, and shortly thereafter the 14 states will vote that will determine a third of all Party Congress delegates at Super Tuesday – including California and Texas, the two largest. Those who have not asserted themselves until then are finally out.
“Not my favorite night”
So who wins this existential debate in Las Vegas? Except for Bloomberg, everyone can at least stand out again. Sanders, who spends the evening roaring with a red head, detects his fans and should keep his top position. Elizabeth Warren turns out to be a merciless opponent, which gives her new upswing. Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg hold their position bravely, but that won’t be of much use to them.
“Not my favorite night for the Democratic Party,” complains Klobuchar when she later appears in front of the journalists in the “Spin Room”. Mainly because the biggest winner of this nagging is not there – US President Trump.”
“Michael Bloomberg, however, is dragging himself out of the ring. Unlike almost all of his competitors this evening, he then avoided the reporters.
Instead, his campaign manager Kevin Sheekey talks the debate nicely. “You know that if all the candidates attack you, you will be a winner,” he wrote in an email. “Everyone wanted to destroy Mike. It didn’t happen.”
At this point, Bloomberg is already on the road again. This Thursday morning he announced himself in Salt Lake City, Utah, 650 kilometers away – one of the “Super Tuesday” states. The new TV advertising is already running.”
Note: der Spiegel is a buddy (servant) of the Dims, including Bloomborg. Yet they despair at the performance of these idiots. They know that the empire is nearly over and that their necks are at risk, just like happened in Eastern Europe, after 1989.

“China’s “Mandate Of Heaven” Is In Jeopardy”
https://tinyurl.com/saf5qus daily reckoning
“China’s economy was slowing substantially before the outbreak of the highly contagious and deadly virus last fall. This slowing was the predictable result of excessive debt levels, Trump’s retaliation in the trade wars, and China’s encounter with what development economists call the “middle-income trap.” Developing economies can grow at double-digit rates as they move from low-income (about $3,000 annual per capita income) to middle-income (about $10,000 annual per capita income). The main requirements are limits on corruption, a large pool of available labor, and an attractive legal environment for foreign direct investment. Once investment is used for infrastructure and labor is mobilized, large-scale basic manufacturing can commence. This powers growth and the accumulation of hard currency reserves from export earnings. The difficulty begins when an economy tries to move from middle-income to high-income (about $18,000 annual per capita income). That move requires more than cheap labor and infrastructure investment. It requires applied technology to produce high-value added products. This explains why China has been so focused on stealing U.S. intellectual property. Trump has been closing that avenue. China cannot generate the needed technology through its own R&D. China is stuck in the middle-income trap and a slowdown in growth is the inevitable result…However, there is substantial medical, anecdotal, and model-based evidence that the actual infection rate and death rate may be ten to twenty times higher than those official statistics. Over 60 million Chinese in several major cities are under “lock-down” where individuals are confined to their homes and may only leave once every three days to buy groceries. Streets are empty, stores are closed, trains and planes are not moving, and factories are shut. The Chinese economy is slowly grinding to a halt. This not only affects China’s economy as a whole, but the contagion filters down into individual companies that are dependent on China both for supply chain inputs and final sales. And it will have a rippling effect on the U.S. economy also. This story has a long way to run.”

‘You Are Here’ – The Stages Of Collapse Exposed”
https://gnseconomics.com/en_US/2020/02/10/the-stages-of-the-collapse/ gns economics
“Could the coronavirus act as a catalyst for a new global economic crisis? It certainly has that potential – but how would the crisis proceed?… In the December 2018 issue of our Q-Review, we laid out the likely scenarios of an approaching global economic collapse. But, like most things in life, such a dramatic event is unlikely to proceed in a linear fashion. There will be different stages within it. In December 2019 we outlined these stages, which are likely five: the onset, counter-attack, flood, calamity and recovery. Here, we briefly define the characteristics of each. The onset Currently, there seems to be two possible ignition points for the collapse: the credit market and the European banking sector…Cascading banking troubles in Europe will have the same destabilizing effects on the global stock and bond markets. The counterattack The second phase of the collapse will be the desperate efforts of authorities to stop the crisis by a counterattack. These are likely to include the restarting and acceleration of QE-programs and other market support programs, gigantic fiscal stimulus, increasing trade protectionism and possibly even calls for direct debt monetization…Most of the governments of the Eurozone are too indebted to engage in any meaningful stimulus, especially when confronted with cascading bank problems and eventual failures. China will desperately try to enact even more fiscal stimulus, but due to the collapse of global economic demand and the probable implosion of the housing and financial system bubbles in China, such attempts will be wholly inadequate. The Chinese economy will slam to earth in a hard landing. The flood The crack-up in the credit and stock markets will be followed by a flood of corporate bankruptcies. So-called “zombie” corporations, faced with collapsing economic demand and exploding interest rates—due to the banking crisis and crashing credit markets—will fail on a scale unseen in decades. The value of the holdings of pension funds, charitable endowments, trust funds, insurance company variable accounts, and stock and bond mutual funds will crash in short order. Even lowly money-market funds may be at risk, just as they were in the Financial Crisis…The calamity Due to both crashing capital markets and banking sector bankruptcies, joblessness and poverty are likely to explode. Simultaneously, government tax revenues will collapse as incomes retreat and capital gains evaporate. As governments spending skyrockets in an orgy of Keynesian counter-cyclicality, national deficits will hit all-time highs on both an absolute and relative basis. Governments will try to save critically-important banks, which will require large-scale funding many countries—such as those in the Eurozone—cannot afford and will not be able to finance in paralyzed capital markets. This economic reality makes depositor bail-ins the only, if politically-unpalatable option…The recovery We expect the global depression to last 4-5 years. The initial collapse is likely to be over within three years. The path to recovery will depend crucially on how far the ‘cleansing’ of the economy, markets and financial sector is allowed to go. If the banking sector implodes completely, the economic deficit will naturally be made much deeper leading to a systemic crisis…The virus is so hazardous for the Chinese economy, because the virus itself and the draconian measures adopted to contain it disrupt production and the incomes of millions of highly-indebted firms and households. The longer that this broad economic stress continues, the higher the likelihood of corporate defaults and bankruptcies. China’s banking system is extremely levered (see Figure 2). As we explained in Q-Review 4/2019, China’s banking system will be unable to cope with any longer slowing down of growth, not to speak of a recession. Large-scale defaults and bankruptcies caused by the reasons just discussed would hit the Chinese banking sector especially hard. The virus can in this way easily act as a catalyst for a deep and severe banking crisis in China. It would guarantee a global recession.”

It has been my view for years it is the economy that will initiate the collapse process acceleration. We have been in a broad-based decline now for years. This is both human and planetary. These have been long term slow processed of increasing abandonment, dysfunction, and irrational on the human side. On the planetary side it has been increasing system destabilization, ecosystem decline, and localized ecosystem failure.
The global economy has been remarkably resilient up until now. This has not changed the dynamics of decline it has just meant this decline process was in effect an undulating plateau because of global value chain strength and tech advances. There have been real advances in abilities in the last 20 years. Yet, there has also been the inertia of diminishing returns of malinvestment and Ponzi economics. The malinvestment is the parasitic effects of improper applications of value chain capital in investments that do not bring the returned advertised. This leads to efforts to conceal these poor investments in economic policy of rate repression and artificial liquidity of easing. This is worse because in this process is the corruption of standards, practices and values in other words moral hazards. Value pricing is distorted with contamination. True value is papered over by investments in short term yield seeking instead of longer-term productivity. This also involves lack of cleansing which in economics is the acceptance of consequences of failure. A party must pay for consequences at some point. Dispersing the costs intot he system just spreads risk of worse.
As is our current case this can go on for years as the last 12 years can attest to. The great financial crisis was just absorbed into a new process of accelerated decline from distortions and malinvestment. The world is now to a point where a black swan shock has occurred during a period of economic tension at a peaking of debt, unfunded liabilities, and civil discord. These are the kind of ingredients for a bifurcation. Thresholds are pushed, break, and settle at new stable levels. The problem now is a break (recession and or depression) is very sever because of interconnectedness of value chains and capital globally. Include distrust and national intrigue and the potential results are truly dangerous. This then becomes a gaming process at the highest levels within a zero-sum gain where all parties suffer decline. This is calculated like in war where battles are fought with the understanding of losses. The problem with this battle is the terrain is a complex self-organizing world with complicated interconnectedness. The results of this conflict then are unpredictable because they involve the physics of turbulence with confusion, strong sudden movements, and phase change.
We now are in a potential global pandemic which will surely disrupt and hammer global value chains, global travel, and global financial markets. Financial markets are elevated and frothy with unrealistic value related to financial repression and easing. They do not represent true value. Real value is a fraction of stated value. Value chains that contribute so much production are splitting apart. How much reboots is debatable. Surely some will disappear meaning lower economic activity. Global travel is vital for tourism but also value chains. Airlines, hoteling, and leisure is a major market employing millions. This then all leads to bankruptcies, unemployment and pressure on safety nets. There is no way to predict how this plays out except poorly. It will likely remain a process with non linear reactions within the overall gradient of decline. The gradient will steepen making the disruptive eddies within the decline process worse.
The real danger of the current possible pandemic is not the death rate. Global population growth will absorb this with no problem. The real problem is the economic dislocations. This could be the real villain that eventually increases the death rate from food and shelter issues. When vital hubs of networks are damaged then the real decline proceeds. There is a percentage of valuable human skill sets that are required to keep systems going. Once these systems are disrupted then they fail and they fail spectacularly. The grid then becomes destabilized. The global system is not there yet but we are in the vicinity of cascading decline.

“Coronavirus Deaths Outside China Surge Overnight As South Korean City Faces “Unprecedented Crisis”
https://tinyurl.com/tnycj9h zero hedge
“And as new confirmed cases dropped substantially on Wednesday in Hubei, everywhere else, the rate of new infections is accelerating. In South Korea, the number of cases soared by almost two-thirds to 104 overnight, further emphasizing our observation that the number of cases ex-China has started to accelerate notably as the curve starts to resemble an exponential progression. One WHO health expert told a Japanese TV station on Thursday that the virus is “a moving target” making it difficult to collect information and treat people: “Nobody has ever had to deal with this situation before, this is a new virus on a ship with 4,000 people, there are no guidelines for that.” He added that he suspects there was a substantial amount of transmission before it arrived in Yokohama, adding that it was “not possible” to isolate everybody individually. The WHO senior epidemiologist was responding to claims made by another expert in infectious disease that the Japanese had failed to observer proper quarantine protocols.”

To avoid the spread of the coronavirus, people must:
1).Get plenty of rest if they are unwell.
2). Keep hydrated (drink plenty of water and eat well).
3).Disinfect door knobs and others surfaces.
4). Avoid public places where there are sick people present.
5). Cough and sneeze in their sleeve.
6).Wash their hands frequently before and after eating, using the washroom.
