    US (Dr.Anthony Faucy) claims that the US might have the new anti-Corona vaccine in late november already.

    What I think: they probably have a vaccine already and are waiting "for the right moment" to release it. It will come out "strategically", they will make sure they exploit the "opportunities" (politically, economically...) before the sheeple get a pinch with the needle.

    Video posted in July so it's quite old but it's his latest. He managed to predict the pandemic (as an economic and travel disaster) in a video last year but his predictions are quite vague. Perhaps you can understand what he says better.

    You preach the new world order, but you don't know what it entails? Time for familiarisation lessons. :D

    When did I do that? Preaching is far away from me :D. An no, I wasn't discussing about the subject, just watching the events unfold.

    Most of us on this forum can sense the Orwellian trends.

    It's easy to see where this is going. Power corrupts, and it's contagious, spreads to the spawnlings as well.

    I'm thankful to have my shitty dirty job and for all the hard work. We still cant find any help and few ever apply, where are all the desperate unemployed?
    It's great pay and steady work, been putting away preps and stacking hard all year.
    Half our crew are felons and ex cons and most cant even drive company trucks haha.

    I dont understand how people wont do what they need to do or man up but it's not important to them I suppose.
    We joke around when we see a beggar holding a sign for handouts, we will go give him a work shirt and a job and a shovel, shovel that asphalt boy!
    They'd rather beg for freebies than get sweaty and earn it.
    It goes back to the saying "give a man a fish, feed him for a day...."
    Alot of people dont have any hustle in them and no skills to fall back on.
    They are on every street corner now.

    This is the problem when you have most people working from home.

    Was in Tanjung Pagar other day on a Sat morning. Quieter than usual.

    One of the best thing they did was to push companies out of the CBD since the late 90s.

    same here. People complaining about minimum wage and we are offering $21 hour to put ingredients down a hole. Can't get anyone and we're not even more than 30 mins out of the city center. What a joke

    Yeah it is a joke. The lack of competition is very nice and gives some job security but I had expected masses of people applying for work by now.
    Nope nothing so far. Seems it hasnt gotten that bad yet in reality.

    The mortality of the virus has fallen a lot due to improvements in thereupathics. In Singapore, since July, only 2 deaths out of 13k cases. That's 0.015% fatality. Of course, I don't believe it's only 2, but even if you make it 5 folds, it's still very low. It's definitely lower than even flu but of course, it's unfair to compare with flu since over here, a positive result means immediate hospitalisation and treatment. It's like Trump, positive test, straightaway hospitalised and given antivirals. The fatality lower than flu.

    The Fed could create a digital dollar to collapse the "real" (paper fiat) dollar.
    The video is mainly speculation, but Lagarde of the IMF said something about the creation of a "digital euro" to run in parallel with the actual one and she did actually say "don't let a good crisis go to waste" (referring to the Corona pandemic):




    I think they could create a "bypass" currency like the Bitcoin. And artificially increase its value.

    Bitcoin might as well have been an experiment. "Out of nothing" it went sky high, only because people believed in it.

    So the Fed could create a "Fedcoin" and people/institutions/the Fed itself could "buy in", thus increasing that currency's price. Gradually the "real dollar" would turn into crap. But by then, the "new dollar" will have already gained strength.

    This is what I call "hyperinflation by proxy" or, "hyperinflation through bypass".

    Imagine having 2 pipes. Water is flowing in one pipe, but you connect a 3rd connecting tube to gradually drain the water from pipe number 1 to pipe number 2.

    In Eastern Europe (I think in Romania) they already did this by launching new banknotes (I think in the 1950's), but what they didn't tell people was that the new banknotes were worth CRAP. This was a "covered" inflation in which the vast majority of the country's population lost their wealth. Literally, people who sold their home and kept the money in the bank for tool long, woke up not being able to buy a new one (with the new currency),... but they could by pants, hats, a table, an alarm clock instead... :D

    Now why on Earth would they want to do that?

    That's exactly what every Central Bank comment regarding CBDCs has said including our own RBA, (ignore any reference to the IMF as they only have little influence on the developed world).

    It won't be anything like BTC. It'll be more like our current digital payment system with some tech tweaks to enable the State to fine-tune where payments are made and track some spending if they so desire.

    Yeah for everyone afraid of the govs creating this perfect incorruptible fully transparent solution are forgetting that all those in control and wanting to keep or consolidate power are among the most corrupted of all of us (intentional or unintentional).

    each system has flaws but objectively are actually more superior and scalable than the last. Although there is plenty of reason to worry I am ultimately an optimist for humanity all flaws considered

    Why artificially? All they'd need to do is peg it to gold ;)

    Bretton Woods 2.0 anyone?

    Something like this isn't new. China used to have a dual currency system. A people's currency (now called the CNY), and a foreign exchange currency. Later they abolished the foreign exchange currency.
