Armstrong Economics Blog/Central Banks Re-Posted Sep 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The European Central Bank (ECB) has kept its monetary policy unchanged. However, it did slow down the pace of net asset purchases under its pandemic emergency purchase program. The ECB’s main refinancing operations remain at 0%, on the marginal lending facility at 0.25%, and on the deposit facility at -0.5%. The ECB said that it believes that “favourable [sic] financing conditions can be maintained with a moderately lower pace of net asset purchases under the (PEPP) than in the previous two quarters.”

The junkies think what the central banks have to say is still relevant and are eagerly waiting for word to come down from above to see if their unwinding of pandemic-era stimulus in the face of surging inflation would take place. That seems like reading a nice bedtime story to the kids so they sleep with pleasant dreams. The ECB reiterated that interest rates will remain at their present or lower levels until inflation is seen reaching 2% “well ahead of the end of its projection horizon and durably for the rest of the projection horizon,” and until the ECB determines that inflation will stabilize at 2% over the medium-term.

It is really extraordinary to think that there will ever be a return to normal. The ECB has had negative interest rates since 2014. The Federal Reserve warned the ECB that they could get trapped. The warnings were coming in, and even in 2016, the London Evening Standard warned of the black hole of negative interest rates. This entire Great Reset is now due to the fiscal mismanagement of governments and central banks. Those who still think there will be some return to normal finance are no doubt those wearing masks and lining up for booster shots every six months. They can’t wait for the new Pfizer daily pills as well and are ready to listen to Bill Gates and never buy beef again.

Since the ECB moved to negative rates in 2014, here we are approaching 8.6 years, which is coming up in 2022 when everything just goes bang.

This is Bern, Switzerland. Those in power are clearly using COVID to facilitate their financial crisis, which is right on target for 2022. Even in Italy, they are now turning against their own unions, for they have simply been bought and no longer defend worker’s rights. The demonstrations in Italy are escalating, and this is all coming to a head next year. This is the Great Reset, simply because they can no longer borrow and fund all the pensions. The next stage is simply to move toward an authoritarian government, for it is now just about them retaining power. The police are bloody idiots, and everything will depend on them. In the USA, they have deliberately used racism to demand the government DEFUNDS THE POLICE. These people are idiots, as the real agenda is to replace local police with a federal police force with no local connections — they are following the playbook from the Nika Revolt.

In Italy, they are protesting, even yelling, “Assassinate!” The Italians have never been afraid to protest. They are going to have to protest to escape from the clutches of Mario Draghi and the EU under the control of the World Economic Forum.

Meanwhile, Alitalia, Italy’s #1 airline, is on strike because of the COVID mandates. They are rejecting their own union, which has been bought out from above.

It is just amazing how blind so many people are. They think if they mandate vaccinations, then they will get their life back. The lack of independent thought is astounding, and common sense appears to be actually rare.

Here we have government officials using the words that are immediately called a conspiracy theory. In Australia, their health Minister Kerry Chant admits that they may be introducing contact tracing. That means they will be tracking everyone and where we go for what she admits will be the “new world order.” I am sure her announcement is sending Big Tech into a tailspin on now trying to censor her and ban her from social media like anyone else who dares to use such words. In Victoria, Australia, where they have effectively been fully locked down, that has still not stopped the spread of COVID. Like the common cold, you cannot stop it by staying inside forever.

Then at the White House, the spokesperson for the Biden Administration actually said that this is not a pandemic, but a PLANDEMIC, which is the truth for the government has NEVER been so authoritarian with a normal virus that is not creating widespread death anymore than the flu. The same people who die of the flu are dying from COVID.

The government no more cares about us than a prostitute in love with a client, “Pretty Woman” aside. Anyone who thinks they care is really a fool. This is all about the financial system collapsing, and that is why I did the special conference back in 2015 on “The Solution.” Back then, behind the curtain, there was talk of this Great Reset unfolding to escape from the fiscal mismanagement (Full Version, 90 Minute Version).

This is all about the NEW WORLD ORDER, otherwise known as the Great Reset, which is really the default on government debt and moving to MMT with Guaranteed Basic Income to replace pensions. This is why I was asked to please come out with a book on all the manipulations of the world economy these people have pulled off. The rise of MMT and Guaranteed Basic Income was the crisis behind the curtain as it was gaining serious traction. “Manipulating the World Economy” is now in its Fifth Edition and is on sale at Amazon and Barnes and Noble in hardcover and digital formats.

There are a lot of doctors and scientists who have been silenced over this entire COVID scam. This raises serious questions that the media, which has sold its soul to Gates & Schwab, will immediately flag any contrary opinion as a “conspiracy theory” so they do not have to (1) investigate and (2) actually report. All of these conspiracy theories have been coming true, one by one. We were told to lockdown for a few weeks. Masks and social distancing would save us from COVID, which seems to kill only those who would have died from the seasonal flu anyway. Meanwhile, we have bureaucrats like a teacher who tapped a mask on a 9-year-old’s face in school. Has everyone just lost their mind?

As the Deutsche-Wirtschafts-Nachrichten has reported, Klaus Schwab and Christine Lagarde have known each other for 20 years. He got her the IMF job, then the ECB job, and she is on the board of his WEF. “They like and get along very well.” I can confirm that they talk at least a few times a week based on independent sources. In an interview with Schwab and now ECB boss Lagarde, they made it clear that the entire world must be vaccinated if possible so that the coronavirus does not “come back to follow us.”

Neither one is a doctor. But what is even more disturbing is the fact that what they are saying is an outright LIE. We cannot cure a common cold. Common human coronaviruses, including types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Most people get infected with one or more of these viruses at some point in their lives. In the US, Jennerian vaccination was encouraged partly thanks to Thomas Jefferson, who conducted small vaccine trials himself and made it one of the new nation’s first health priorities when elected president in 1801.

A vaccine can eradicate a disease ONLY when that disease tends to be unique to humans. Even the CDC states clearly that smallpox was eradicated because “smallpox can be spread by humans only. Scientists have no evidence that smallpox can be spread by insects or animals.”

We cannot cure a common cold or ANY virus that can exist in animals and makes the jump to humans — a gain of function.

What Schwab and Lagarde are saying is an outright LIE. It does not matter if you vaccinate the entire UNIVERSE of humans; it will always return for it coexists in animals. These people are DELIBERATELY terrorizing humanity for political purposes to create a new communistic-hybrid world all because they can no longer borrow and pay endless social programs. They MUST destroy the current financial system, including banks, and BUILD BACK BETTER, a new world order with them at the top of the food chain, and we are the suppressed Great Unwashed. They think we are too stupid to Google, “If you vaccinate the entire world, could we EVER return to normal?” Sorry, they have NO intention of allowing us to get back our lives as we once knew them.

In Australia, children are separated from their parents. Grandparents are dying alone all because you cannot travel more than five kilometers from your home. They are DELIBERATELY breaking the chain that binds society together all to create Schwab’s fictional world of a hybrid-communism, and Bill Gates emerged as the world health czar to control the population.

The claims that those vaccinated have perhaps 3 years to live are running around the web. Some believe that Fauci knew the long-term agenda and let it slip back in 2017. I have no idea if these stories are even true. The problem I have is that they lie to our faces about basic things, such as saying COVID will be eliminated if the world is vaccinated. They cannot be that stupid, and they know that would never work. So, the best course of action seems to be caution, for these are NOT people we should ever trust even to park your car. If it’s there when you do return, it will have some strange radio station on, and you may find curious food wrappers on the back seat.
