Can China Silk Road Survive Coronavirus?
by F. William Engdahl, New Eastern Outlook:
China’s priority infrastructure project, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), faces enormous problems just seven years after it was proclaimed in 2013. Serious problems and charges of China luring poorer nations into what a leading Indian analyst termed a “debt trap diplomacy,” began to appear already in 2018 when Malaysia and Pakistan, under new governments demanded a renegotiation of terms with Beijing. Now the global economic impact of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, with the simultaneous collapse of economies from China to the USA, to the EU and across the developing world, are creating staggering new challenges for the China prized project.
FORMER KGB PROPAGANDIST EXPLAINS HOW AMERICA WAS DESTABILIZED AND WHY SOCIALISM AND UNREST ARE SPREADING LIKE FIRE
by Phillip Schneider, The Waking Times:
Yuri Bezmenov is a Soviet defector and former propagandist for the KGB. In the early-1980’s, he was interviewed to discuss the Soviet plan to indoctrinate American citizens into Marxism, a plan he believes was a success.
According to Bezmenov, the first stage of Socialist ‘ideological subversion’ is demoralization of the youth. During this process, a generation of American students are taught that the values and history of their nation are fundamentally corrupt, invalid, and immoral.

Despite almost blanket coverage amid the liberal mainstream media claiming that Trump’s so-called “photo-op” was led by police clearing streets with tear gas and flash-bangs – and universally decried by every talking head on TV and social media – the ‘real news’ is that nothing of the sort happened at all and the media made it all up… again!!!
An unexpected blow to the ECB – Part II
by Claudio Grass, Claudio Grass:
The corona effect
Although the German court ruling had nothing to do with this latest wave of easing and money printing triggered by the coronavirus crisis, the timing of it puts the present situation in a different perspective.
This crisis has served as a “judgment day” of sorts. It revealed the countless failures, the incompetence and the disarray at the very core of most institutions, not just in Europe, but globally. The more decentralized nations did fare relatively better than those with a high degree of centralization, the latter unfortunately being the majority. There, the lack of consistency and of clear leadership, the contradictory messages, the failures of public healthcare that cost countless lives, the political decisions that cost millions their jobs and livelihoods, all exposed the defects of centralization and the unreliability of both national governments and international organizations. And that’s just the first wave of disasters, the ones immediately seen and felt.

Can the Federal Reserve avoid inflation once again?
As the dust around the 2008 financial crisis settled, some may have been surprised that the eagerness of the Federal Reserve to print money did not cause inflation, or even hyperinflation. Yet those who are expecting the same turnout this time around should look at the underlying nature of both crises.

This Is Not A Revolution. It’s A Blueprint For Locking Down The Nation
from Humans Are Free:
When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you — pull your beard, flick your face — to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you.” — John Lennon
