MRNA Moderna using unethical and untested animal and human genes in vaccine - social media bans info

Moderna (MRNA) stock jumped as they announced a 'vaccine' for COVERT-19.  Of course, the big pharma appointee who is overseeing 'Operation Warp Speed' owned $10 Million USD worth of the stock, and has had to divest it to avoid potential conflicts of interest:
Moncef Slaoui, a former venture capitalist and executive at GlaxoSmithCline, resigned from his position as a member of Moderna's board of directors just last week to take the government job.  However, according to Securities and Exchanges Commission filings, Slaoui still held over 156,000 stock options in the company. At the time of his appointment to lead "Operation Warp Speed," the shares were worth about $10 million.  The announcement comes as Moderna's stock soared almost 20 percent on Monday, following promising early results from its phase one vaccine trial. 
Corruption is not the concern here, the system is built on corruption.  Capitalism corrupts, absolute corruption corrupts absolutely.
The issue is the bigger agenda, the global genetic modification of the human race, including but not limited to the foods we eat, the medicine we receive, and the way we interact with each other.  Google seems to be spearheading the counterintelligence operation for the cult, which is both 1) disinformation by spreading Gates sponsored 'trials' and 'news' from makeshift 'think tanks' and 'science research centers' which are all controlled by the same organization, and 2) banning via direct algorithmic censorship any alternative to that narrative.
So for example, this Hydroxy study is being referenced all over the world, as some kind of anti-alternative mantra.  It basically says that Hydroxychloroquine as a therapy will kill you (increase your chance of death 400%).  We aren't allowed to explore alternative treatments or therapies for Coronavirus, except that which is prescribed by Emperor Gates.  In any analysis we always follow the money, so who do you think funds the Lancet?  Of course, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  How powerful is Bill Gates in the global medical scene?  
In an ideal world, scientific research would be free from constraints; the professional interests of the scientific community and individual scientists would determine research topics and directions, and funding would be limitless. In the real world, however, factors such as the economy, health and social interests also have an influence and eventually limited financial resources must be prioritized. Public agencies and private benefactors support research with the expectation that the results will translate into tangible benefits such as economic growth, health products, or solutions to social problems. Given that much of academic research is predominantly funded by public money, funding agencies frequently determine the direction of research.
The foundation frequently stated that the goal was not only to solve global health challenges, but also to attract new scientists to the field.
Over the past 13 years, the BMGF—and its predecessor, the William H. Gates Foundation—distributed more than US$7.8 billion, including more than US$2 billion for work combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria; approximately US$1.9 billion for immunizations; 
Interestingly, research into the components of this strain of Coronavirus mostly conclude that it is highly genetically modified and include genetic markers of HIV & Tuberculosis.
Now going back to MRNA, their wonder vaccine is being looked into by scientists and health professionals around the world, and some whistleblowers have come forward with some scary claims - that it will include human fetus cells which cause cancer:
The aborted human cells used in vaccines come from lung tissue and are considered “abnormal” cells because they keep dividing, spreading, multiplying in the human body after being injected, and that is the definition of cancer. You can find these cancer-causing, cannibal-style injections listed on the CDC vaccine website, and you might even recognize a few of them. These dangerous and dirty vaccines include the MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella), Hepatitis A & B, Chicken Pox (Varicella), Polio, and in the works now … wait for it … novel Coronavirus or “Covid-19.” The company cheered in mainstream headlines, Moderna, that’s claiming to be developing a Covid-19 vaccine, is using human abortion cells to do it. It’s just plain witchcraft, and the benefits (if any at all anymore) do NOT outweigh the risk. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists do not understand this, and even if a few do, they can never speak out without getting fired or forever labeled “anti-vax” and “anti-science.” This is population control and cancer breeding exposed by forensic medicine experts.
How is it possible to read the mind of the Establishment and/or the mainstream narrative?  It's not hard.  It's not what they say, it's what they don't say - and what they censor.  ..
Being in the financial business we blog and exchange content on all sorts of financial topics all day.  But only one topic is being explicitly censored, and that is any alternative to the Gates/MRNA narrative.  What do we mean by that explicitly?  We have been banned by StockTwits for sharing these 2 articles about MRNA and the vaccine:
Also, ad-campaigns on Twitter were banned, with the same content.  It's important for users to understand the difference between social media advertisers and users.  If they are blocking content that you want to PAY for, something is not right.  And this must be happening algorithmically, via a service that is driven by Artificial Intelligence.  Earlier in the year, our partner Crediblock authored a book on Covid and published on Amazon, which laid out some of what would happen in the coming months.  Of course, it was banned, and the account blocked (although, Amazon did pay for the sales that happened while it was live).  
Another strange phenomenon, we have had reports that Google Android is blocking the sharing of this information via SMS via "WARNING-THIS LINK MAY CONTAIN MALWARE" crap.  Emails with this content go to junk or ARE NOT DELIVERED.  Android is run by Google, Email services are run 80% by Microsoft or Google.  Between Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, ATT, Amazon, and a few tier 2 players, they completely control 99% of information.  This has been going on for months but the post on StockTwits about MRNA is beyond coincidence.  StockTwits is not to blame, it's probably an algorithmic service provided by Microsoft or Google.  There are so many ways these companies are monitoring us people just don't understand.  For example, as a side anecdote - recently I rented a taxi (Uber not available where I was) and the driver was using Google Maps.  It kept redirecting us down dirt roads and he would start swearing "My boss is going to fire me, I need this job" and then would lose GPS signal.  I asked about if he remembered the days of free standing GPS units and users would buy maps of regions.. he shrugged and said now everyone using Google.  They literally know where you are at all times.  They know what you eat for breakfast.  Is that a good thing?  Well it depends, do you like being injected with a human abortion cocktail?  Do you like 5g frying your brain like an egg?

Flagship Pioneering stands out as a control investor, so let's dig into info about them as well.  They founded Moderna (MRNA) with - guess who:
Moderna is creating potential mRNA medicines for a wide range of diseases and conditions which currently include infectious diseases, oncology, rare genetic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Moderna is developing these potential medicines independently and through strategic alliances with collaborators, including AstraZeneca, Merck, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, as well as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
This is not the first report of social media banning/censorship starting with ZeroHedge being banned from Twitter or Alex Jones being banned from YouTube.  The scary question that worries us is that if this is part of a larger, global AI driven narrative silencing, which will use various automated systems to silence alternative voices.  Are we to 'trust' the government in private partnership with big pharma to protect us from a disease (syndrome) we know very little about except what they tell us?  Alternative voices in the medical community that are digging deeper into what this thing really is, are also being silenced.  
What 'free' social media is left, aside from Zero Hedge and a few fringe sites?  
The point is, censorship as an idea is one thing, but when citizens are trying to obtain objective information about health issues of a serious nature (literally life and death) he who controls the narrative and controls the contents of the vaccine is the ultimate conflict.  The US Government has completely merged with big business legally and operationally, and things aren't 'going back to normal.' 
As an investment advisor, my advice is to go long MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, and related companies (skipping Fakebook).  As an individual, I'm concerned about a fake vaccine that contains who knows what or Darpa's hydrogel that will bind with human tissue and connect us to the internet (Matrix).  As a human being, I'm highly concerned how what they are spraying in the air will affect our health as a species, planet, and individual.  It's not clear if these spraying programs are connected to COVID-19 but the funding is the same (BMGF).  In fact, if you look at the Bill Gates portfolio, there is a linear connection between COVID-19, the solutions (telework with Microsoft), food shortages because of meat factories closing (solution: Gates funded Impossible Foods), or the obvious IPO (VIR) that's working on the vaccine - all roads lead to Gates.
They are modifying the search results heavily - so we are not to rely on Google anymore.  They are messing with the wayback machine - so we should start print to PDF articles again, readers.  And if we want to know what's going to happen in the future, we should just listen to what Gates has to say.  
Support Zero Hedge and spread this to as many people as possible as the door to sharing information online becomes smaller by the day.   by Global Intel Hub

Study: Cannabis plant contains molecules that are 30 times more effective at reducing inflammation than aspirin

(Natural News) Conditions that cause chronic pain can be difficult to deal with. Severe and persistent pain not only affects a person’s ability to perform his daily tasks, it also reduces his quality of life. Often, physicians prescribe strong opioids that can block pain receptors in the brain to help patients get pain relief. However, the use of opioids comes with undesirable side effects, as well as a high risk of developing an addiction to these synthetic drugs. Therefore, scientists have expanded their search for safer and more efficient alternatives to opioids by looking into the potential of medicinal plants.
Cannabis (Cannabis sativa) is a medicinal plant widely used in the U.S. for the management of pain. Although it isn’t strong enough to relieve severe pain caused by surgery or a broken bone, the plant is effective enough to treat age-related chronic pain. Many people prefer to use cannabis as it is safer and less addictive than opioids. It is also an excellent substitute for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are not recommended for people with kidney problems, ulcers or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
In a recent study, researchers at the University of Guelph in Canada looked into the analgesic properties of cannabis. They focused specifically on its flavonoid content, which is made up of non-psychoactive compounds that are also present in many plant-derived human foods. The researchers reported that some of the compounds in cannabis exhibit strong anti-inflammatory properties. Two flavonoids, in particular, also known as cannflavins, showed promise as natural painkillers with very few side effects. The researchers reported their findings in an article published in the journal Phytochemistry.

Cannflavins in cannabis can fight inflammation and provide pain relief

First discovered more than three decades ago, when cannabis research was still heavily regulated, cannflavins are now well-known for their strong anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds are among the many specialized metabolites — besides psychoactive chemicals — produced by cannabis that are believed to contribute to the plant’s medicinal versatility.
In their study, Canadian researchers identified cannflavin A and cannflavin B as promising analgesic compounds exclusively produced by cannabis. They reported that the two flavonoids are synthesized via a branch point from the phenylpropanoid pathway, which is required for the production of polymers used to make plant cell walls. The phenylpropanoid pathway is also known as a rich source of phytonutrients and the starting point of flavonoid production.
According to a previous study, cannflavins A and B are 30 times more effective at reducing inflammation than aspirin. Analysis using cultured cells revealed that both compounds can inhibit the production of two pro-inflammatory mediators, namely prostaglandin E2 and leukotrienes. This led the researchers to believe that the two compounds are behind the positive effects shown by cannabis in trials where it was used to treat neuropathy pain in diabetics.
“These molecules are non-psychoactive and they target the inflammation at the source, making them ideal painkillers,” said Tariq Akhtar, a professor at the University of Guelph and senior author of the study. (Related: Cannabis could be an alternative treatment for pain and sleeping troubles.)
“Being able to offer a new pain relief option is exciting, and we are proud that our work has the potential to become a new tool in the pain relief arsenal,” added Professor Steven Rothstein, one of the co-authors of the study, who also shared a huge challenge they are currently facing.
“The problem with these molecules is they are present in cannabis at such low levels, it’s not feasible to try to engineer the cannabis plant to create more of these substances. We are now working to develop a biological system to create these molecules, which would give us the opportunity to engineer large quantities.”

Witchcraft or Vaccines? Covid-19 vaccine will contain GMOs and “continuous” aborted human fetal cells, which develop into CANCER in your body

(Natural News) Vaccine sorcery is underway folks, and you if don’t learn how to read vaccine literature right now, you are in for a rude awakening. Most healthcare workers have no clue what they’re injecting into their patient’s muscle tissue, they just regurgitate what they hear from the top – the script that’s siphoned, censured, and “peer reviewed” by a highly experimental industry that can never be sued, for anything.
This is medical sorcery, these scientists, who engineer sickness by breeding it in infected animal cells (think chicken eggs), even including African Green monkey kidney cells, and then combining all that with multiple, live virus strains and MRC-5 abortion cells that have been genetically manipulated, modified, and mutated (with foreign DNA insertions, inversions and deletions). These dirty vaccine sorcery injections are embedded with codes in viruses meant to attack human tissue, your cleansing organs, your brain, and your central nervous system.
They’re using “recombinant DNA” which is just a technical word for genetically mutated and highly unpredictable human albumin. There is nothing proven safe and nothing proven effective about injecting today’s vaccines. This is what they call “heightened immune response” and it’s dangerous in the short term, and deadly in the long term. This is not some simple shortlist of side effects from necessary medicine. It’s medical crime, and it’s about to be fully brought to light.

Exposing medical crime as witchcraft

The aborted human cells used in vaccines come from lung tissue and are considered “abnormal” cells because they keep dividing, spreading, multiplying in the human body after being injected, and that is the definition of cancer. You can find these cancer-causing, cannibal-style injections listed on the CDC vaccine website, and you might even recognize a few of them. These dangerous and dirty vaccines include the MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella), Hepatitis A & B, Chicken Pox (Varicella), Polio, and in the works now … wait for it … novel Coronavirus or “Covid-19.”
The company cheered in mainstream headlines, Moderna, that’s claiming to be developing a Covid-19 vaccine, is using human abortion cells to do it. It’s just plain witchcraft, and the benefits (if any at all anymore) do NOT outweigh the risk. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists do not understand this, and even if a few do, they can never speak out without getting fired or forever labeled “anti-vax” and “anti-science.” This is population control and cancer breeding exposed by forensic medicine experts.

Forensic nurse blows the whistle on abortion cells in vaccines becoming cancerous, and it’s still on YouTube, so watch now, before they ban it

Vaccine witch doctors are using aborted human fetal cells that are cancerous called “oncocells” or “oncogenes” that are proven to be mutagenic (notice base word mutant here) and literally the cause of auto-immune disorders. We’re talking about bio-weapons that are bred in monkey kidneys and human abortion tissue (diploid) and they breed indefinitely.
In other words, the mechanism has been deleted that controls and limits how they divide and multiply, making them by default carcinogenic. It’s a mutant injection that is turning humans into mutants (think mad cow disease). And these cells have been used since the 1960s in vaccines, so don’t think it’s something brand new that the scientists are using because they’re in some rush to save us all from Covid-19. That’s all propaganda folks.
Join us in exposing medical crime of the worst kind. Tune your internet dial to Vaccines.news for updates on the coronavirus vaccine containing ingredients that will give you cancer and COVID at the same time. This new virus is morphing as you read this, and people who have it are being affected in different ways, including attacks on their heart, lungs and liver. Forget about a vaccine. It simply won’t work and it will be dangerous.
If you’re looking to boost your immune function safely and effectively, avoid all vaccines and check out some indigenous medicines that have been used to fight infectious pathogens, viruses and bacteria for thousands of years, including oil of oregano, licorice root, elderberry, and of course, chaga mushrooms.
Let’s face it, there’s a lot we don’t understand about novel Covid-19 which is why a vaccine will NOT work. This virus is using the whole human body as a host to spread. It’s time to listen an expert virologist who explains all of this in laymen’s terms.

BREAKING: Moderna’s mRNA coronavirus vaccine caused serious injury in 20% of patients in high dose group, requiring medical intervention

(Natural News) The Moderna vaccine company that’s attempting to use the mRNA technology platform to rapidly create a coronavirus vaccine has been widely accused of a pump-and-dump stock scheme involving the pumping of company stocks with widely-touted press releases that claim positive outcomes for phase 1 vaccine trials.
But buried in Moderna’s own press release is an admission that Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine caused serious injuries in 15% of patients who were injected.
Importantly, the so-called “grade 3 systemic symptoms,” which require medical intervention, appeared after the second round of vaccine injections, underscoring the suspicion that the first vaccine injection sets up the body for an injurious (or even deadly) reaction upon a second exposure to a pathogen.

High-dose subjects suffered “serious adverse events”

The injuries were reported at the 250 ug (microgram) dose levels, and Modern removed those participants from any consideration of antibody reporting, restricting their antibody claims to those who received lower doses.
250 ug is a very tiny dose, just 1/4th of 1/1000th of a gram. Many vaccines inject subjects with similar doses.
“Three of the 15 human guinea pigs in the high dose cohort (250 mcg) suffered a ‘serious adverse event’ within 43 days of receiving Moderna’s jab,” commented Children’s Health Defense:
Moderna did not release its clinical trial study or raw data, but its press release, which was freighted with inconsistencies, acknowledged that three volunteers developed Grade 3 systemic events defined by the FDA as “Preventing daily activity and requiring medical intervention.”
… A vaccine with those reaction rates could cause grave injuries in 1.5 billion humans if administered to “every person on earth”.

Moderna skipped animal trials and years of human trials in mad rush to market

Moderna says in its press release that it’s rushing to a phase 3 trial in early July, skipping the normal 1-3 years that it would usually take to determine vaccine safety in phase 1 and phase 2 trials. The fact that the Moderna vaccine caused a 15% rate of serious adverse events during the phase 1 trial hasn’t stopped the vaccine company from exposing others to its risky, experimental vaccine. If anything, the company is doubling down on testing it in more people, albeit at lower doses that it hopes won’t produce the same level of potentially injurious side effects.
CHD further warns:
These outcomes are particularly disappointing because the most hazardous hurdle for the inoculation is still ahead: challenging participants with wild COVID infection. Past attempts at developing COVID vaccines have always faltered at this stage as both humans and animals achieved robust antibody response then sickened and died when exposed to the wild virus.
In other words, even if the mRNA vaccine produces antibodies, that’s nowhere close to achieving a “safe” vaccine. In previous vaccine trials involving animal subjects treated with SARS-CoV-1 pathogens, the animal subjects died when exposed to subsequent infections because the vaccine set up their bodies for a deadly cytokine storm — an “enhanced” immune reaction that leads to systemic inflammation and death.
CHD characterizes the Moderna vaccine trial results as a “catastrophe,” and the CEO of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, previously admitted that mRNA injections into the body actually cause flu-like immune responses that are undesirable:
mRNA creates an immune response. Why? Because a virus is made of mRNA. Like the flu. So if we inject mRNA in a patient, what happens? Your body thinks you just got the flu. And it’s not very good for our drug, because you know all the symptoms of the flu. Not super nice… and the problem of going very high in dose, as you go around your body, you have a ton of side effects.  – Stephane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, TEDxBeaconStreet conference, 2013.
Is it any wonder why Moderna executives are selling their own stock shares like mad, even as they claim to be ramping up a world-changing breakthrough that, if true, would earn stockholders a windfall of profits?
What do Moderna executives know, in other words, that they aren’t telling us?
The most likely answer is that the Moderna vaccine is highly unlikely to ever work without imparting enormous safety risks to patients.

World's Most Bearish Hedge Fund Manager: "If It's In Zerohedge, Then Central Banks Have Already Devised A Plan To Stop If From Happening"

From Zero Hedge:

There are two notable highlights in the latest note from the CIO of Horseman Global, Russell Clark, the man we dubbed years ago as the "world's most bearish hedge fund manager" (a name that appears to have stuck) due to his penchant to run a net short book for the past 8 years (see chart below).
The first is that in the same vein as Paul Tudor Jones, Clark - who reports that in April his hedge fund was down 7.1% bringing the YTD gain to 18% - is rotating out of deflation and into inflation: "The conditions for both good and bad inflation are now in place." This may explain why Clark has pushed up the net short position of his hedge fund from -100% as recently as late 2019 to just -39.15%, the lowest in a year and a half.
It also explains why Horseman has turned decidedly bullish on beaten down "value" sectors such as oil exploration and mining & metals, while boosting his short in rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate and utilities. And while still expecting pain for US stocks, Clark is now very bullish on China and Russia.
... with Chinese and Russian companies making up most of his top 10 positions. 
As Clark summarizes it:
So what are we doing? We are shorting winners, and buying losers. China and Russia — buyers. US — sellers. LNG and Cement - buyers. Civil aviation, Utilities and Private Equity — sellers. We still hate the US dollar — but we are now willing to shift into currencies other than Swiss Franc and Yen.
* * *
His second point - which we find notable for various reasons - is his explanation how and why central banks tend to interfere at just the right times to spoil his bearish trades:
The other question I get is about autocallables and clearinghouses. This trade was about to pay off in March, and the central banks bailed them out. Which is their prerogative. But I think the thing I take away from that is that Central Banks read Zerohedge too. If it's in Zerohedge, then they have already devised a plan to stop if from happening. The irony of life is that the existence of Zerohedge make Zerohedge's existence unnecessary, in some sort of strange financial existentialist conundrum. 
Which probably begs the question: can Zerohedge's stay in existence longer than central banks can print money in their pursuit of confidence-inspiring fake markets?
The full April note to investors from Horseman is below:
Your fund lost 7.06% in April. Losses came mainly from the short book.
Due to Covid-19, we had our first ever webcast in April. It was well received and a recording is available via our website. If I had to characterize the calls I got after the webcast, most of them were along the lines of, "Hey Russell, you sound like you expect inflation". And I guess I do.
Many, many years ago, from 2009 to 2010 I tried to fight the inflation story that the market was pricing, as it made no sense to me. Commodity prices were high, supply was coming on line, the US dollar was weak and likely to strengthen, and China was heading for a downturn. It made the years from 2009 to 2011 very difficult for me, but eventually when the cycle turned, we were able to make good money. I remember I used to get a lot of hostility to the deflation views back as late as 2014. But that was then, and this is now.
All the reasons that made me believe in deflation for nearly 10 years, do not really exist anymore. China looks okay to me, and potentially very good. Commodity supply is getting cut at a rate I have never seen before. The US dollar is strong but will likely weaken from here. And it is clear to me Western governments will only ever attempt fiscal austerity as a last resort, not a first. The conditions for both good and bad inflation are now in place. When I look at markets, they are pricing in deflation as far as the eye can see. 10 year UK gilts at 0.2%? That will be a hard NO from me!
The problem for markets is that deflationary trades dominate everything. If you believe in deflation, you hate banks and love private equity. If you think we are on the cusp of depression, then you love gold and hate copper. If you think commodity prices will be weak forever, then you hate Aussie dollar and love Yen. In equities you will pay up for secular growth (10 times sales? Bargain!) and hate old economy stocks (0.3 times book for stocks like Gazprom — not cheap enough!).
"But Russell," I hear you say, "we have so much debt, and China has debt too, and demographics all say deflation". Yes, true now, and true 10 years ago. But as I pointed out in my webcast, data from ASEAN has been strangely good recently, and makes me wonder if China's Belt Road Initiative is starting to bear fruit. Is it possible, that by investing heavily in its near neighbors China has managed to create export markets for itself? Given that it successfully penetrated western markets, and has had good success in building infrastructure at home, it certainly seems possible to me. If my analysis is correct, then in one or two years time every investment bank will be talking about the opportunity of approx., 3.5bn people industrializing (China 1.4bn, India, 1.4bn, Indonesia 0.25bn, Pakistan 0.2bn, Bangladesh 0.15bn, Vietnam 0.lbn, rest of MEAN 0.3bn).
The risk of buying 10 year gilts here versus, say a Gazprom, well it goes without saying which one looks better. But the funny thing is that, most people are now committed to investment strategies that require yields to stay low. Can Private Equity make money in a rising rate environment? Almost certainly not! What happens to equities with rising rates, and the month end rebalance to sell equities to buy bonds? If you started getting a decent yield on bonds, would you pay 10 times sales for a loss-making tech stock? I doubt it...
The other question I get is about autocallables and clearinghouses. This trade was about to pay off in March, and the central banks bailed them out. Which is their prerogative. But I think the thing I take away from that is that Central Banks read Zerohedge too. If it's in Zerohedge, then they have already devised a plan to stop if from happening. The irony of life is that the existence of Zerohedge make Zerohedge's existence unnecessary, in some sort of strange financial existentialist conundrum.
So what are we doing? We are shorting winners, and buying losers. China and Russia — buyers. US — sellers. LNG and Cement - buyers. Civil aviation, Utilities and Private Equity — sellers. We still hate the US dollar — but we are now willing to shift into currencies other than Swiss Franc and Yen. Given the unknowns of coronavirus, and other things, we are still net short. But the changing composition of the short book and long book means we have much less downside risk should economies normalise more quickly. In fact, if commodity prices move higher, and bond yields rise, the fund could do well. I think it would be a stretch to say we are long inflation — but I am definitely short deflation, which makes an awful lot of sense to me!
We wish Horseman Global - whose AUM is now down to just $130MM from $373MM a year ago - the best of luck in trying to outthink what Bank of America last week called a "fake market" in which "government and corporate bond prices have been fixed by central banks" so "why would anyone expect stocks to price rationally?"

"Like It Was Designed To Infect Humans": COVID-19 'Cell Culture' Theory Gains Steam

From Zero Hedge:

A scientific study which found COVID-19 may have been a "cell-culture" uniquely adapted for transmission to humans (more so than any other animal - including bats), is gaining steam.
The paper, currently under peer review, comes from Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky, who has spent over two decades developing vaccines against influenza, Ebola, and animal Sars. He says his findings allow for the possibility that COVID-19 leaked from a laboratory, according to Sky News.
"The two possibilities which I think are both still open is that it was a chance transmission of a virus from an as yet unidentified animal to human. The other possibility is that it was an accidental release of the virus from a laboratory," said Petrovsky, adding "Certainly we can’t exclude the possibility that this came from a laboratory experiment rather than from an animal. They are both open possibilities."
Professor Petrovsky, who is the Chairman and Research Director of Vaxine Pty Ltd, said COVID-19 has genetic elements similar to bat coronaviruses as well as other coronaviruses.
The way coronavirus enters human cells is by binding to a protein on the surface of lung-cells called ACE2. The study showed the virus bound more tightly to human-ACE2 than to any of the other animals they tested.
“It was like it was designed to infect humans,” he said.
“One of the possibilities is that an animal host was infected by two coronaviruses at the same time and COVID-19 is the progeny of that interaction between the two viruses. -Sky News
"The same process can happen in a petri-dish," added Petrovsky. "If you have cells in culture and you have human cells in that culture which the viruses are infecting, then if there are two viruses in that dish, they can swap genetic information and you can accidentally or deliberately create a whole third new virus out of that system."
"In other words COVID-19 could have been created from that recombination event in an animal host or it could have occurred in a cell-culture experiment."
In January, Petrovsky began modeling the virus to try and create a vaccine candidate. According to the report, he then began to explore "what animal species might have been involved in the transmission to humans" in order to better understand the origins of the virus, when he discovered how well it infects humans over other species.
"We found that the COVID-19 virus was particularly well-adapted to bind to human cells and that was far superior to its ability to bind to the cells of any other animal species which is quite unusual because typically when a virus is well-adapted to an animal and then it by chance crosses to a human, typically, you would expect it to have lower-binding to human cells than to the original host animal. We found the opposite so that was a big surprise," he said.
When asked why mainstream scientists are still clinging to the theory that the virus originated in a Wuhan wet market, he said that scientists "try not to be political" but that that scientists who support the lab escape theory risk negatively impacting their industry with tighter laboratory controls.
"For instance, if it was to turn out that this virus may have come about because of an accidental lab release that would have implications for how we do viral research in laboratories all around the world which could make doing research much harder," he said, adding "So I think the inclination of virus researchers would be to presume that it came from an animal until proven otherwise because that would have less ramifications for how we are able to do research in the future. The alternative obviously has quite major implications for science and science on viruses, not just obviously political ramifications which we’re all well aware of."
Petrovsky has called for immediate investigation now, and not when the pandemic is over - calling any delay in fact finding a "mistake."
"I’m certainly very much in favour of a scientific investigation. It’s only objective should be to get to the bottom of how did this pandemic happen and how do we prevent a future pandemic…. not to have a witch-hunt."

Global tech upgrade with a focus on Crypto happening now

From Zero Hedge:

Based on publicly available evidence, it’s clear a group of tech business leaders got together and hatched a plan to move the world’s system of Capitalism away from the Entrepreneur (risk) and into the hands of a few mega-powerful corporations who know best.
The idea is honorable enough, it’s not like they want to kill people.  But what investors want to know is what does this mean for the markets?  A huge swath of the economy isn’t going to recover.  But the mega-cap companies, they are going to get more mega, and mega, and mega.  What are some of the beneficial technologies that will dominate the next 10 years based on the reaction to COVERT-19 or the Wu Flu?
  • Information Technology – All I.T. will benefit, but especially remote work solutions like TransparentBusiness
  • Telemedicine – A major tech upgrade is going on to the healthcare system around the world
  • Genetic Engineering – companies like Ginkgo Bioworks for example
  • Cryptocurrency – The Chinese are sanitizing physical dollars because they can carry viruses and germs – this is the ultimate argument for a cash-less society.
But Bitcoin is not the only Cryptocurrency in the world.  There are other coins, educational projects such as News Crypto with it’s platform provides tools to help you trade other Crypto. According to a press release by the company:
"Our main focus is to solve the problem of finding the right information at the right time while being a trustworthy source and offer our members the best user experience possible. Therefore, we strive to give our members security and confidence at the highest level while providing them the best indicators and analysis on the market."
The question many investors have been asking is what companies are going to be “COVID positive” and what are not.  Many businesses are failing.  But some, such as Zoom and Amazon for example, are thriving.  Cryptocurrency certainly is going to get a boost from the circumstances – but which token or coin will thrive?  That’s what NewCrypto.io can help with – providing information in a fast paced market for those who are not familiar with the market.
Education and tools have always been the foundation to success.  Information is power, they say.  Well, this fits like a hat on a bald head.
So, are you ready for the big global tech upgrade?  Some people are starting to get creative with Coronavirus ‘hacks’ – but what’s really going on is a big upgrade to the global technology system.  That includes things like Microsoft digital hospitals, Amazon delivery systems linking every supply chain on the planet, and digital money (Cryptocurrency). 
So if you aren’t familiar with Cryptocurrency, News Crypto is a great place to start.  Because the future is about using the technology and mastering it.  If people think making stock picks or choosing the next “Bitcoin” is going to solve all your problems you are gravely mistaken.  Users need to embrace technology, understand it, and integrate it into their lives.  Basically, those who don’t participate in this upgrade are going to be societal outcasts.  We have two choices, to embrace transhumanism or to be left alone on the fringe of society.  As we are seeing a total transformation in how we work, live, eat, play, and recover. 
So it’s only logical that the first place to start your knowledge journey is about money, whether it’s using a cryptocurrency tool like News Crypto or reading a book like Splitting Pennies.  Mastery they say takes 10,000 hours – even if you aren’t a student or expert – if you use something like a technology for 10,000 hours you can consider yourself a master.
