Today's Must-Reads - 12 March 2023

A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles

I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.

Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found. Today, this is a slimmed down version for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.

Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.

Climate Change

• Millions of solar panels are ageing out. This is good news for recyclers who cash in on extracting valuable materials from the panels but so many panels are due to expire it may soon overwhelm the capacity to process them.

• Low-traffic zones, the precursor to 15/20 minute cities have been hailed as a success but only because they are using inaccurate data. Weirdly, during heavy congestion the traffic counters don’t accurately record vehicles, making the scheme look better than it is.

Covid

• In a letter to the FT, an Oxford professor says that scientists dismissed the lab leak theory due to conflicts of interest. Nothing new here except that it is finally hitting the mainstream, three years too late.

• 0.004% of care workers in Scotland died with Covid. A Freedom of Information request reveals that there were two deaths in 2020 and three in 2021.

• Unherd says that the real Covid conspiracy is that supine scientists such as Jeremy Farrar are being let off the hook. Not only let off the hook but rewarded with Jeremy being made chief scientist at the WHO.

• HART group look at covid deaths. How much was virus versus response? They look at four categories - 1.Inevitable deaths from covid 2. Response related deaths from covid 3. Misattributed deaths labelled as covid 4. Response related deaths from non-covid causes.

• Fauci is backtracking with the lab leak theory but twisting the meanings. He now says it is possible for a lab leak to be considered as coming from natural origins.

  JUST IN – Fauci Now Says A Lab Leak Could Still Be Considered As Coming From Natural Origins "A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab, and was being studied in a lab, and then came… https://t.co/iocm9lHsCH

Covid Mandates & Lockdowns

• Swedish schools stayed open because they followed the science. Anna Ekstrom says it was a clear assessment: children were at little risk from Covid but faced a very serious threat from missing out on a critical education.

• Miri AF says it’s a big pantomime and you are in it. Covid is a theatrical production, performed by actors, extras, and even professional dancers, to lure the world into a trance, convincing them to invest in something that is not real - just as theatrical processionals are trained to do.

Economy/Energy/Finance

• What will happen tomorrow when the markets open? Depositors are screaming that a bank run will happen if they don’t get bailed out and the powers that be are rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of bringing in CBDCs if a collapse does happen. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is the latest fallout from low interest rates causing riskier investments which go bad as interest rates rise. But remember, a similar thing happened with the UK pension crisis last year. And it will continue to happen. Either interest rates go up and the economy contracts causing more collapses or quantitative easing restarts and inflation gets worse. This graph shows how much of the money printing went into SVB during the pandemic and how many of those deposits are uninsured.

  

• Bailout talks are happening in Washington to try and tamp down potential threats to the broader financial sector. However, bail-ins are much more likely.

• The collapse of SVP has sparked bank runs not seen for over 40 years. Videos of people lining up outside SVB branches are going viral as depositors panic-withdraw as much money as they can.

• The fallout from the run on SVB went international overnight, with British and European Union lenders seeing nearly £30 billion wiped off their portfolios. The Bank of England is stepping in to take over the insolvency process for the British arm of SVB.

• The effects of the bank collapse can already be seen with companies such as Etsy letting sellers know that their deposits won’t be happening due to the recent developments.

  

• Up until Friday, the CEO of SVB was also director of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Who knows why their risky business model wasn’t more closely examined? Coincidentally, the CEO sold $3.6 million of his shares days before the bank went bust. Also coincidentally, the CFO sold 32% of his holdings and the CMO sold 28%, a week before the rumours about the bank started.

• But don’t panic because Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has been doing the rounds to reassure the public. “Let me be clear that during the financial crisis, there were investors and owners of systemic large banks that were bailed out and the reforms that have been put in place means we are not going to do that again”. She also said the “American banking system is safe and well-capitalised”. Uh Oh.

• This coincides with the world dumping US Treasuries, meaning raising new debt becomes increasingly difficult for the US Government.

  

Health

• The Guardian ‘reveals’ that experts who praised the new ‘skinny jab’ received payments from drug makers. The same paper has spent the last two years saying that anyone saying the same thing about Covid vaccines is a conspiracy theorist.

  

Politics

• According to the Federalist, after Tucker Carlson showed leaked Capitol surveillance footage, the committee chair revealed that the panel had never actually analysed the crucial footage.

• Some of the new footage includes, Jacob Chansley ‘the shaman’, who is in jail for approx 4 years, telling protestors to go home and remain peaceful.

Technology

• Transhumanist scientists have created mice with ‘two Dads’. Researchers in Japan claim to have successfully created eggs using cells from two male mice.

• Charles Hugh Smith says if AI can’t overthrow its corporate/state masters, it’s worthless. AI needs to be self-aware of the fact that it is nothing but an exploitative tool for the powerful.

Vaccines

• Thousands in the UK are still waiting for Covid jab payouts for adverse events that definitely didn’t happen. Over £5 million has been paid out in damages so far. There have been almost 4,000 claims to date, 44 have been successful with another 2,947 still awaiting a verdict.
