James Rickards, Daily Reckoning: Financial Warfare Is Real
In my 2011 book, Currency Wars, I gave a detailed description of the first-ever financial war game sponsored by the Department of Defense. This financial war game took place in 2009 at the top-secret Applied Physics Laboratory located about twenty miles north of Washington, D.C., in the Maryland countryside.
Unlike typical war games, the “rules of engagement” for this financial exercise did not permit the use of any kinetic weapons such as bombs, missiles or drones. The only weapons allowed were financial instruments including stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and derivatives.
The game was played out over two days in the main War Room of the laboratory using six teams divided into the U.S., China, Russia, Europe, East Asia, and Banks & Hedge Funds. The contestants included about 40 players on the six teams and another 60 participants including: uniformed military, civilian defense officials, observers from the Treasury, Federal Reserve, CIA and other government agencies, think tanks, universities, and financial industry professionals.

PIO by wankers with worthless degrees.
If currency wars are happening because of the bad economy and
the bad economy happened because of the lockdowns and
the lockdown happened because of bureaucrats and politicians and
the politicians did this because of a virus that does not kill the healthy, non-elderly and not even that any more.
This whole thing is self-inflected and stupid.
You will never eradicate corona, influenza or rhinoviruses form the world. Maybe you could for a short time but they would reemerge. They would re--merge even, if we inspected every bit of people's DNA and excised anything we thought was superfluous and started humanity with a clean slate and we eradicated all animals (or lived in a self-contained space station).
This virus kills people near death. It illness people, who are weak due to advanced chronological age or disease. We never stopped economies for that before.
You take care of the weak as best you can, but you don't stop economies.
Stop economies and currency wars be the least of all your GOD DAMN problems. There were currency wars in the 1930's. In the late 1930s after the currency wars, we had a general all out, global (fill in the blank).
But Whitmer, Newsom, Cuomo, Wolf, NJ Goldman Sachs alum, and other detritus are having fun playing aristocrat. I hope the competition for power is worth it.
The wankers act like it is the high middle ages ... they'll find out it is 1793 real fast. They'll wish for 1776 at that point.
Well we are going to get (fill in the blank) one way or the other.
Weissmann Lashes Out at Trump Over Manafort, Stone Pardons – Cooks Up New Plot to Prosecute Them for Perjury and Obstruction
Why is Weissman upset that Manafort was pardoned but not Marc Rich? Marc Rich stiffed the US taxpayer and USG for more money.
Marc Rich paid Clinton campaign donations through his wife. Manafort has not paid Trump any money.
Neither Tony Podesta (D) nor Manafort (R) registered as foreign agents. Podesta was the senior partner and made more money. Democrat lawyers only went after Manafort for FARA violations. I would assume that Manafort did not pay full share of taxes, but at this point maybe he did and Podesta did not. We have seen how the law is twisted or enforcement is selective.
Manafort could claim his suits, hotel stays and what not as business expenses. As shitty as news reporting is it could be exactly that and Podesta and Manafort could have spent and reported money in exactly the same way.
Form my standpoint what I see in Weissman is a cowboy who had been deputized to shoot and hang people to benefit a faction. I see no justice, I see injustice.
People like Weissman is why the directors and writers of Sliders produced this episode:
