American Financial Meltdown? Troubled California Bank PacWest Craters 60% On Report It Is Seeking Buyers - Crisis Affects Other Banks

 

This morning  U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell openly lied to financial reporters during a  press conference stating without a hint of irony that the US banking system is "sound and resilient."

Ironically even as Powell was speaking the news broke that  another  bank collapse was on its say.

Shortly after the conference closed, Bloomberg reported that California-based bank, PacWest Bancorp., was weighing a range of strategic options, including a sale.

The Beverly Hills-based bank - whose financial conditions it appears has been far worse than the Fed, which had just hiked interest rates another 25bps (a quarter of one per cent,) calculated for - has been working with consultants and also been considering selling a huge slice of its business to raise capital according to Bloomberg. While it is open to an outright if the right offer (i.e. any offer,) comes along, , the company hasn’t yet started a formal auction process.

According to the report,  and similar to other recent bank collapses SVB and FRC, "a potential buyer would also have to potentially book a big loss marking down some of its loans, a spokesperson said."

the next regional bank collapse was on its say.

Shortly after the close, Bloomberg reported that another regional, California-based bank (of course), PacWest Bancorp., was weighing a range of strategic options, including a sale.

The Beverly Hills-based bank - whose financial conditions it appears has been far worse than the Fed, which just hiked another 25bps, thought - has been working with a financial adviser and has also been considering a breakup or a capital raise, according to Bloomberg sources. While it is open to a sale, the company hasn’t started a formal auction process.

According to the report,  and in a similar way to ,other recent bank collapses SVB and FRC, "a potential buyer would also have to potentially book a big loss marking down some of its loans, a spokesperson said."

Following publication of the Bloomberg report, PacWest - which had $28 billion in deposits at last check (far less as of this moment) and $44 billion in assets, saw its stock plunge more than 60% in the space of a few hours.

Earlier we reported that First Horizon tumbled as much as 40% after saying it and Toronto-Dominion Bank mutually agreed to terminate their merger agreement amid uncertainty around regulatory approvals.

Meanwhile, with the Fed still burying its head in the sand as an epic bank crisis hurtles towards the USA, Powell may be  hopeing that a avalanche of bank failures will make the Fed's job of sparking a recession, credit crisis and deflationary bust easier.

E U Leadership Endorses Dutch Government's Compulsory Buyoutand Closure Of Small Farms To Cut Nitrogen Emissions

 

EU backs Dutch government’s farm buyout plan to cut nitrogen pollution
Dutch Farmers have been protesting against farm closure plans for almost a year (Picture: Peter Dejong/AP)

Dutch government plans, fully reported by this blog towards the end of 2022, which would force farmers to cut nitrogen emissions from activity on their land, have been bulldozed through one of the remaining obsdtacles to their implementation when the unelected bureaucrats that make up the European Commission,  (European Union’s executive arm,) approved farm buyout schemes worth nearly 1.5 billion euros (£1.32bn).

The plans to reduce nitrogen emissions from agricultural activiy, mainly livestock farms,  on EU-designated areas of vulnerable nature (which seem always to be the areas most productive in supplying us with food for our tables, have sparked heated debate and widespread protests by angry farmers in a nation that is a major producer and exporter of farm products.

Dutch agricultural exports were worth 122.3 billion euros (£107bn) last year, according to the national statistics office. The Dutch ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants, predominantly nitrogen oxide and ammonia, by 50% nationwide by 2030.

The compulsory buyout schemes will improve the environment conditions in those areas and will promote a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production in the livestock sector, without unduly distorting competition

Nitrogen pollution makes climate change worse and can harm biodiversity, according to the UN Environment Programme, another supra - national agency staffed by corrupt scientists who will say anything they are paid to say and claim their diktat cannot be challenged because "we are scientists". Before we assign any credibility to these crooks and liars however, we should remind ourselves that nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere - the air that we breathe. It is everywhere, you just can't get away from the stuff. Science my arse.

A key part of the Dutch strategy, which has little to do with science or climate change and a lot to do with the ruling elites' desire to destroy western civilisation in order to grab more power and exercise greater control, involves buying up and halting work at farms allegedly responsible for large-scale emissions of nitrogen. However, that required confirmation from the European Commission that the buyouts do not amount to state aid that is banned under EU rules.

Margrethe Vestager, executive vice-president in charge of competition policy, said in a statement that the two schemes approved would clear the way for the “voluntary closure” of farms responsible for major nitrogen emissions.

“The schemes will improve the environment conditions in those areas and will promote a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production in the livestock sector, without unduly distorting competition,” she said.

Clearly the powers that be are simply playing with words here. Telling farmers, "You will sell to the government at a price the government dictates, or the government will simply confiscate and close your business and you will get nothing," is not by any stretch of the warped, bureaucratic thinking that governs so much of our lives now, "voluantary".

A pro-agriculture political party formed only three years ago won Dutch provincial elections in March, underscoring the depth of discontent among farmers and other sections of society that has been fuelled by the nitrogen reduction plans.

The neo - fascist Dutch central government has tasked provincial legislatures with formulating and implementing exact proposals to reduce nitrogen emissions, ignoring the will of the people in the best tradition of fascism.

Farmers have held several large demonstrations, blocking highways and supermarket warehouses last year to protest against the reforms that they cast as a threat to their way of life.The demonstrations have also spread to neighbouring Belgium, where hundreds of farmers drove their tractors into central Brussels last month to protest against plans to cut nitrogen pollution and there have also been protests in Poland, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

On the upside there are signs this piece of eco-idiocy could be the torpedo that finally sinks the floundering EU.

Who Is Winning In The New Scramble For Africa

 

As the internecine conflict in Sudan morphs into Africa's latest humanitarian crisis people in the compassion fatigued west heave a weary sigh and get ready to reach into their pockets, wall;ets and bank accounts once more as heart rending stories images of suffering and deprivation flood our media. 

Reports of violence breaking out in Africa rarely raise eyebrows in the West these days. chances are the conflics seem far away both geographically and culturally to us and so we feel it has little to do with us, whatever 'progressives' and the woke brigade may deem the West’s historical responsibilities for the continent’s problems may be. But as the recent events in Sudan demonstrate, this is no longer the case. The turmoil unfolding there is of far more importance to us in a geopolitical sense than most previous ones.

While the fighting in Sudan is, on the face of it, little more than a power struggle between the two rival factions for control of the country, there is also an important international economic dimension to this conflict. At its heart is competition between the great powers for influence over the continent — what has been elsewhere been called the “new scramble for Africa”.

In view of Africa's its vast natural resources, including gold, its agricultural potential and its geopolitically strategic location, Sudan has long attracted regional and international power plays. In recent years, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Israel have all been cultivating economic and political ties with the country’s leadership  an,d its two warlords in particular.

Russia, however, stands out for its “special relationship” with Sudan. Putin made sure to cultivate an alliance with the country’s former leader, Omar al-Bashir, deploying the infamous Wagner Group in 2017 to provide him with political and military support. More importantly, that same year, al-Bashir signed a military cooperation agreement with Russia which included allowing the Russians to establish a military base along the Red Sea, ensuring a permanent presence for the Russian Navy in a crucial region and easy access to the Indian Ocean.

Al Bashir was overthrown in 2019 but Putin shrewdly switched his support to Sudan's new military leaders and continue to advance Russia's economic and political interests in the region. When considered in the context of China's expansion of commercial and political influence in Africa and other parts of the developing world, and the efforts of Saudi Arabia and Iran to promote their different brands of Islamism, the current conflict in Ukraine can be seen from a different angle, not so much a local conflict as part of a bigger face off between proponents of a monopolar world led by the USA and a multipolar world with economic and military power centred in the east rather than the west.

Africa, South America and parts of Asia have been the scene of Western (more recently US) political and economic meddling and manipulation for generations and the results haven’t always been pretty for the locals as Washington has systematically used the status of the US$ to crush other economic powers. Awkward questions have often been fobbed off with “He may be a tin-pot dictator but he’s our tin-pot dictator”


Is it surprising or disappointing to see that Russia and China can and do play the same game and have been doing it for years. While westrern governments have been pandering to the wimpish bleatings of extremist left wing minorities and pumping aid into African and other impoverished regions the Russians and Chinese have been making deals that benefitted their own interests as much as the places their investments helped develop. 

 Does anyone still think that nothing happens in Africa unless the US signs off on it? The West is fully engaged in using the cult of climate hysteria to solidify central planning political power. Much of the “science” has been either questioned or de-bunked entirely yet the propaganda and witch-hunts continue apace. It is China and Russia that are securing the supplies of natural resources essential to implement Western eco-diktats like Net-Zero. Are those deals fair and equitable? Probably not. Are they debt traps? Probably. But these deals are getting done and the Belts and Roads are actually being built.
 

Conversely, I invite you to behold Canada’s narcissistic sock model Trudeau. Canada just guaranteed Volkswagen $13B in subsidies for an EV battery plant. That announcement follows the uncharacteristically frank statement by Trudeau that Canada will probably never meet its NATO spending commitment (he’s somewhat less frank about admitting Canada hasn’t met any emissions targets). He was recently in New York crowing about this deal. The deal is secret (of course) but Trudeau claims Canada is such a wonderful place to do business that VW actually turned down more money from the US (Translation: Canada has made concessions that even the US wouldn’t consider). Meanwhile Canada has large lithium deposits that will endure years of regulatory reviews and court challenges before they ever see the light of day.


Clearly, Canada is not a global player but IMO this sort of reality-defying pretzel logic is indicative of Western leadership right now and clearly the BRICS + countries are taking advantage of it.

Heat pumps epitomise the economic folly of net zero


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/13/heat-pumps-epitomise-the-economic-folly-of-net-zero/

posted with 325 replies showing

Amid the ballyhoo from scaremongers, sciencevangelists, mathematical model merchants and research grant phishing experts about the need to achieve Net Zero if we are to 'save the planet,' there is little concrete evidence that the climate chaos we are seeing is solely the result of a slight increase in levels of Carbon Doioxide (CO) in the atmospehere (240 parts per million to 405 parts per million,) since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Despite this being a very marginal change a constant barrage of propaganda and the 'cancelling' of any scientist or medua commentator who challenged this 'existential threat from human made climate change narrative has made it almost impossible to have a civilised debate on the topic or to present a dissenting case. It has also rendered impossible  a logical analysis of the wider impact on economic and social activities. 

For all the magical thinking and grandiose pledges about green jobs and technologies, the true benefits of reducing CO2 emissions from human activity appear trivial when compared with the massive scale of costs incurred in replacing electricity distribution  grids in developed nations and increasing generating capacity while simultaneously shutting down all industrial activities involving oil, natural gas and coal. The huge destruction of our existing capital stock, from cars to industrial machinery would impose so great a cost as to make 'net zero' unchhievable without destroying industrial civilisation totally.

A good example of the follies spawned by the 'net zero'v policy is the UK government's plan to force households to replace their efficient and relatively cheap to run gas fired heating systems with expensive, inefficient and unreliable heat pumps. Now heat pumps are not a new technology, they have been around for roughly a hundred years, think of a fridge, freezer or air conditioning system in reverse.

OK, now think of a three-bedroom house currently heated by gas. Official figures suggest that installing an air source heat pump, upgrading radiators and improving insulation could cost £15,000 or more. Even after spending that money, many will find the system inadequate and require a gas or mains electricity system as backup.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg. That heat pump will require green electricity if it’s to help meet net zero. So we must also allow for building and operating the wind farms, backup storage and grid network needed to replace gas heating with electricity. All those costs must be recovered through higher electricity prices, or direct government subsidies. Even if energy costs revert to “normal” pre-2021 levels, my calculations suggest that electricity prices could well double.

Along with the higher demand, and allowing for a reduction in gas use, this could be equivalent to a net increase in bills of £1,000-£1,200 per year for our hypothetical 3-bedroom house. Moreover, we must allow for the higher costs of servicing and eventually replacing heat pumps.

And the heat pump policy is only the start of our Net Zero capital losses. Schools, hospitals, offices, shops and factories will have to be extensively refurbished or replaced to accommodate electric heating, and will then incur higher operating costs. A significant fraction of buildings and other assets could be abandoned as no longer economic because many older houses, apartment blocks and commercial buildings are totally unsuitabe for installation of heat pump technology. That could have the knock on effect of driving up both residential and commercial rents paid by housing tenants and businesses.

Then, there is transport and the hasty replacement of petrol or diesel vehicles by electric vehicles to consider, not that people would be able to travel far when all the roads are being dug up to facilitate the installation of higher capacity electricity cables. Less obviously we must allow for the reorganisation of urban and suburban areas in the name of Net Zero and “15-minute neighbourhoods”. Our whole social infrastructure – shopping, schools, community facilities – has been built over many decades on the assumption of cheap private and public transport. A large part of this may have to be replaced, at as yet unknown, but certainly prohibitive cost.

 Detailed calculations by the Cambridge engineer Professor Michael Kelly suggest that the investment required for the current Net Zero timetable will exceed £3 trillion, or 1.2 times UK GDP. Either other investment must decline or the burden will fall on household spending. You will not find Prof Kelly's research reported anywhere in mainstream media of course.

In summary, in pursuit of Net Zero by 2050, around a quarter of all UK investment will be devoted to replacing existing assets. The knock-on effect means that what’s left of the UK’s original asset base could well get older and more expensive to operate. Prospects for future improvements in productivity or healthcare or education are at risk of shrivelling in the face of endless demands to fund the energy transition.

So far we have only looked at the green dreams of research grant phishing scientists and environmentalist crusties. Let's now turn our attention to more prosaic matters.

 If you look at a weather forecast for five hours hence it makes its predictions in the form of statistical probabilities but often even those turn out to be substantially wrong. So how can there possibly be a 'climate crisis' based on forecasts of what will be happening decades hence?

The whole carbon story treats the world as a simple system where you take a couple of data points and join them up with a straight line. Already it is clear to any sane observer that it doesn't behave like that at all. Based on the predictions of a couple of decades ago the academics who started this bandwaggon were assuring us that Britain would be a flaming desert by now. How can they keep taking their fat grants and live with themselves? 

Any forecasts based on existing facts (and presumably they do and are not pure fiction) exhibit something called variance and this increases the further ahead in time you push your prediction. By the time you get to 20 years hence the range of possible outcomes covers a huge range. So precise predictions are nonsense, however big the computer is which churns them out. The grounds therefore for economically damaging the country are based on the flimsiest basis. The science is not remotely 'settled' although certain charlatans claim that it is. No-one thinks 'pollution' to be a good thing but impoverishing the nation for one relatively unimportant component of it is rank folly.

Those in power, those in technocratic positions, think tanks and advisory panels are as knowledgeable on climate science, electrical power systems, or large scale industrial engineering and economics as a people of an amazonian rain forest trible  would be on developing computer systems. The sooner there is a great purge of eco zealots and Cultural Marxists from government and senior positions in businesses and media the better. 

The most disappointing thing about this allegely Conservative government is the way they have abandoned  all conservative priniciples which are all about spending wisely and conserving things which work and are effective rather that throwing money at that which is novel, fashionable and unproven. Instead they have jumped on the globalist bandwagon and embraced a system most appropriately named by george Orwell in his novel '1984', Oligarchic Collectivism. Gas boilers ,air travel , old houses and petrol cars have to go because they are old. Never mind that they work, and never mind the evidence stacking up that the proposed alternatives don't. Despite the cost and oddly the ultimate lack of benefit to the climate or indeed our homes we must move with the times, change is saxred, science is God..

At the risk of stating the absolutely effing obvious stating the bleeding obvious  Net zero is all cost and near zero benefit .

MODERNA Vaccine Fraud, People Were Not Injected With mRNA But Something More Dangerous

 Readers of this blog will know that we have always been deeply sceptical of the narratives used to sell people the COVID vaccinations that were developed in not just record time but in an impossibly short time for those vaccines to be developed from scratch and fully tested for safety and efficiency. People who look to alt_media for in depth reporting and commentary are now becoming aware that the vaccines were a scam, they do not confer immunity on recipients nor do they prevent transmission of the disease.

But the news that has emerged in the past few days reveals the psy - op that persuaded whole populations to surrender their rights and liberties in return for an empty promise that only if we complied with 'orders' could the government save us all from a disease that made few people seriously ill and has a lower infection to fatality rate than seasonal 'flu. The narrative built around the mRNA vaccines as they were rushed through the procedures that all medicines should be subjected to was that mRNA (messenger Ribonnucleic acid) would reprogram human immune systems so our bodies could handle the 'deadly' spike protien excreted by the SARS - COV2 virus. It was all bollocks of course.

The mRNA is real enough and according to Britannica "messenger RNA (mRNA), molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). The molecule that would eventually become known as mRNA was first described in 1956 by scientists Elliot Volkin and Lazarus Astrachan. In addition to mRNA, there are two other major types of RNA: ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA).

Because information in DNA cannot be decoded directly into proteins, it is first transcribed, or copied, into mRNA (see transcription). Each molecule of mRNA encodes the information for one protein (or more than one protein in bacteria), with each sequence of three nitrogen-containing bases in the mRNA specifying the incorporation of a particular amino acid within the protein. The mRNA molecules are transported through the nuclear envelope into the cytoplasm, where they are translated by the rRNA of ribosomes."

OK, I didn't understand much of that either, so I contacted a friend who is a research biologist and he explained it in simple terms. And most of it still went over my head, but in short the role of mRNA in this case contained in vaccines,) is to carry protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s soft interior (cytoplasm), where the protein-making machinery reads the mRNA sequence and translates each code element into its corresponding amino acid which are the building blocks of protein.

When humans or animals are infected by a virus in the natural course of events or have received a conventional vaccine, the immune system identifies virus-specific proteins from active or inactivated virus particles, respectively.

The two main types of immune cells, T and B cells then kick in to deal with the alien compound. T cells identify infected cells and carry out apoptosis (the cell-killing process), while B cells produce antibodies that bind to the virus and thus prevent infection of other cells.

There are various “proteins”—called antigens—on the surface of each virus. Your immune system can memorize more than one of them. When the virus mutates and some proteins change, your immune system can still recognize and kill them. This is referred to as cross-immunity.

Particularly in the case of respiratory disease, most pathogens are already prevented by the first natural barrier, the mucous membrane. This barrier, however, is bypassed when an intramuscular injection (such as the COVID-19 shot) is administered.

But that is not what happened with the MODERNA vaccine technology because they did not use mRNA but modRNA, a far more dangerous technique for modifying DNA, which was Moderna's intention (the clue is in their name.)

To protect it against being destroyed by the body's natural defences, modified RNA (modRNA) is packaged in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which, due to their small size and synthetic optimization, can easily overcome the biological barriers of the immune system and even reach vital cells in the heart and brain. This is why so many reports of serious adverse effects from COVID vaccines have cited heart and circulatory problems or damage to brain tissue occuring shortly after vaccination.

According to the theory of RNA-based injections, the antigen (here, the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2) is synthesized by our cells and presented at the cell surfaces, where it serves as a target for the generation of neutralizing antibodies. However, this mechanism is distorted by modRNA and this is where the problems lie.

In addition to prompting the production of neutralizing antibodies, the modRNA triggers cells to produce non-neutralizing antibodies, resulting in antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). This process allows virus-antibody-complexes to invade the host’s immune cells (i.e., macrophages), thus weakening  the immune system. Put simply, non-neutralizing antibodies do not only prevent the immune system fighting off the SARS - COV2 virus, they make a person’s body more susceptible to other illness because the immune system is now busy fighting itself. This is why studies show that follow-up and booster injections make people who receive them more susceptible to a wide range of infections.

The viral spike protein now produced by the body’s cells and presented at the cell surfaces transforms the recipient cell from friend to foe and causes the immune system to initiate the destruction of that cell by apoptosis.

This article is a brief summary of why RNA-based vaccine technology, which was invented several decades ago and abandoned as useless and potentially dangerous until recently, is and will always be inferior to natural infection and conventional vaccines, as viruses mutate far more rapidly than the pharmaceutical industry can produce new, adapted vaccines. None of the Boggart Bloggers are biologists or medical professionals but we are all good researchers and approached this issue not from a medical angle but with the intent of providing more evidence of the massive psy-op that has recently been perpetrated by the ruling elites on the majority. Like anyone else we can only speculate on the goals that have driven this project.

1 in every 73 People Vaccinated Against COVID Was Dead by May 2022 in England according to UK Government
