We know that the cost of Covid measures (value for money or not) has been sky high.

We know that the damage to the economy, to schooling, to the elderly was enormous.

But for a global assessment, we are indebted to UK Column for pulling together as complete a picture as I have yet seen.

"Since Covid–19 was recognized in Western countries in early 2020, expenditures on public health in many of them have more than doubled, imposing over $500 billion in monthly costs on the global economy"

" Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose by 14.6% in the 12 months to September 2022"

"in February 2020, there were already 4.43 million people on a waiting list for care. The latest figures for July 2022 show a record number of over 6.84 million people waiting for treatment"

"Over $3 trillion in wealth was transferred from the world’s poorest to a tiny number of billionaires and their supporters, predominantly in China and in the tech and pharmaceutical industries"

"A UNICEF report found that 150 million additional children will grow up in poverty"

"for children aged 5–11 years without co-morbidities, the case fatality rate could not be calculated due to an absence of cases. That about sums up the risk to children"

...

Enough, the list just goes on and on.

Oh, and is anybody accountable?

These two videos ambushed me this morning.

On the face of it neither of them grabbed my attention, but I wasn't feeling my best (late night last night) so it was convenient to indulge YouTube with some leisurely viewing, apropos of nothing in particular.

Serendipity - the art of encountering fortuitous happenings!

These are long videos, and in a (rather extended) weak moment I watched them both to the end. They are not related except in as much as they deal with a broad sweep of history, but the presentation and subject matter is complementary.

The first is an interview of talking heads, and is probably the easier to follow, whilst the second is in lecture format (albeit quite informal) but it does have an annoying habit of showing the lecturer rather than the slides he is talking about.

And ignore the intro, it's nothing to do with pyramids. 

In fact it took me a while to get into it, but with a bit of snappy use of the pause button it is possible to read the messages. Stick with it, it gets better. It it isn't easy going, but it takes you places. Who would have known that the Isle of Man was a critical staging post for a dramatic escape to the New World? But that's just the foothills ...

And lastly whilst these videos both deal with matters of great significance, only you can decide how much trust to place in them.

Do they place current world events in some context? There's only one way to find out ...

The good folks at LarouchePAC are undoubtedly good folks but unhappily somewhat low-key, even on occasion stultifyingly boring - there, forgive me, but I said it.

That's not however to say that they are wrong, inconsequential, or can be safely ignored.

If Trump has an Agenda 47 then I'm pretty sure we should be taking a vigorous interest.

So what is this Agenda 47? 

If "the Donald" will forgive me, I summarise briefly below:

  • A new generation of 10 new "Freedom Cities" (to be commissioned after a design competition)
  • VTOL vehicles as the next generation of personal transport
  • Air mobility revolution to transform commerce
  • Dramatic lowering of cost of living
  • Baby boom!
  • National manufacturing initiative to make America the leading global manufacturer
  • Great modernization and beautification campaign
  • Restoration of law and order

Get the overview "straight from the horse's mouth"! 

Get the details.

Peruse LaRouchePAC's "deeper understanding". 

And for the sake of "balance", read a less effusive reaction.

An unlikely headline you may think, but Scott Ritter explains it in a few seconds flat.

And I would say that he's on the button.

Question is, will they go to war with Ukraine / NATO, or will Ukraine respond to China's offer to intermediate some negotiations before it gets totally out of hand?

" ... on April 1st, Ukraine was supposed to sit down in Istanbul and sign a peace treaty with Russia - but NATO intervened ...  "  (I suspect that was April 2022)

" ... I say this as an American who doesn't want to die ... "

" ... ultimately, that's his only viable option ... "
