The financial economy and real economy used to live with each other happily: now they are in a long-distance relationship reliant on logistics to keep in touch. What happens when those logistics break down? (Very bad things, as I was discussing here the other day.)

We have covered the ocean-carrier side of this crisis (‘In Deep Ship’), and the new fee equivalent to $1m a day, and rising $1m each following day, for a 10,000 TEU vessel whose cargo is stuck in LA/LB port. However, we stressed in that report that the supply chain issue is more systematic. So, allow me to share quotes from an article exposing there is ‘No Trucking Way’ we are about to return to normal:

“Think of going to the port as going to WalMart on Black Friday, but imagine only ONE cashier for thousands of customers…Most port drivers are ‘independent contractors’, leased onto a carrier who is paying them by the load. Whether their load takes two hours, fourteen hours, or three days to complete, they get paid the same, and they have to pay 90% of their truck operating expenses…I honestly don’t understand how many of them can even afford to show up for work…In some cases they work 70 hour weeks and still end up owing money to their carrier.

So when the coastal ports started getting clogged up last spring due to the impacts of COVID on business everywhere, drivers started refusing to show up. Congestion got so bad that instead of being able to do three loads a day, they could only do one. They took a 2/3 pay cut and most of these drivers were working 12 hours a day or more…Many drivers simply quit. However, while the pickup rate for containers severely decreased, they were still being offloaded from the boats. And it’s only gotten worse…The ‘experts’ want to say we can do things like open the ports 24/7, and this problem will be over in a couple weeks. They are blowing smoke, and they know it.”

The author also points out a crippling shortage of truck chassis; warehouse workers, again due to low-pay and Covid, so unloading takes longer; and warns soon there will be less, not more truck drivers. Crucially, he bewails that ocean carriers, ports, trucking companies, warehouses, and retailers are all making great money – so won’t invest before the system collapses further. If so, this book-ends the 1980 deregulation of the US trucking industry under President Carter.

Meanwhile, Senator Manchin just said ‘No Trucking Way’ to the White House’s fiscal plans, again, which already fail to address the above logistical problems. Perhaps it’s time for US economists to study what weak, share-cropper logistics and on-off fiscal and central-bank liquidity largesse do for emerging markets’ macroeconomic and financial stability?

Nearly a dozen physicians who were seriously injured by Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” are urging the government and other doctors to acknowledge the serious risks involved with taking these experimental drugs.

Eleven doctors represented by attorney Aaron Siri of the Siri Glimstad law firm want the shots to undergo a thorough investigation, and the results to be made public, so everyone can make an informed decision about whether or not to get injected.

“The harms they have been reporting are not redness at the injection site,” wrote Siri in a letter. “The harms are all serious.”

“To avoid future harms from this vaccine and to heal the doctors’ patients, and in some cases to heal themselves, research is critically needed to understand how the Covid-19 vaccine is causing these harms,” he added.

For the past year, Siri Glimstad has been actively fighting covid jab mandates across the country. It is now calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to take action.

If they refuse, Siri is planning to pursue legal action against all of these federal agencies to force them to do the right thing for once rather than continue to operate on behalf of Big Pharma. (RELATED: Nearly all of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee members have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.)

How many more people need to become injured or die before this charade ends?

In his letter to numerous high-ranking public health leaders at the HHS, CDC and FDA, Siri attached signed declarations from each of the 11 vaccine-injured doctors describing in detail their various respective reactions to the shots.

Among the side effects reported are small fiber neuropathy, constant muscle shakiness, paresthesia, tinnitus, difficult balancing, chronic fatigue, menstrual cycle irregularities, hair loss, persistent numbness and tingling in the hands, weakness and cognitive impairment.

Siri says that each of these injuries has been confirmed as an outcome “based on the clinical judgment of the patient’s treating physician, as being caused by a Covid-19 vaccine.”

He also noted that their respective experiences post-injection are not isolated events but rather accumulating evidence that continues to grow in opposition to the government’s claim that the shots are “safe and effective.”

As it turns out, only a very small percentage of vaccine-related injuries and deaths are reported to the government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Because of this, tracking real-world injuries caused by vaccination is difficult.

A Harvard Pilgrim Health Care study that tracked 715,000 patients over the course of three years found that “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported” to VAERS.

Based on these and other revelations, Siri wrote in his letter that something must be done “with the utmost urgency on behalf of physicians from across the country.”

One of the doctors who says she was one of the first people to get injected now suffers from small fiber neuropathy as a result. She says she lost her “pinprick and temperature sensation of bilateral extremities” and also has “a constant shakiness to muscles upon movement.”

Prior to getting the jab, this person was “extremely healthy and very active.” As a medical expert herself, she says she has “no doubt that my medical symptoms were caused by the vaccine.”

Another of the doctors, a gastroenterologist and board-certified medical doctor who retired last year, says she “suffered a life-threatening and life-altering severe reaction 30 minutes after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.”

Flying under the radar, so to speak, during the media coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, is the rollout of a hyperfast speed 5G wireless network. As millions of Americans are suddenly working remotely, it has proven to be a powerful opportunity for regulators to move 5G forward. Yet, in the face of expanding wireless connections, a landmark study recommends reducing exposure.

Changes defintion of COVID death from ‘with COVID’ to ‘by COVID’.

The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country’s official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.

Italian newspaper Il Tempo reports that the Institute has revised downward the number of people who have died from COVID rather than with COVID from 130,000 to under 4,000.

“Yes, you read that right. Turns out 97.1% of deaths hitherto attributed to Covid were not due directly to Covid,” writes Toby Young.

Of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone.

“All the other Italians who lost their lives had from between one and five pre-existing diseases. Of those aged over 67 who died, 7% had more than three co-morbidities, and 18% at least two,” writes Young.

“According to the Institute, 65.8% of Italians who died after being infected with Covid were ill with arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), 23.5% had dementia, 29.3% had diabetes, and 24.8% atrial fibrillation. Add to that, 17.4% had lung problems, 16.3% had had cancer in the last five years and 15.7% suffered from previous heart failures.”

The Institute’s new definition of a COVID death means that COVID has killed fewer people in Italy than (whisper it) the average bout of seasonal flu.

If a similar change were made by other national governments, the official COVID death toll would be cut by a margin of greater than 90 per cent.

Don’t expect many others to follow suit though, given that governments have invested so much of their authority in hyping the the threat posed by the virus.

For example, behavioral psychologists in the UK worked with the state to deliberately “exaggerate” the threat of COVID via “unethical” and “totalitarian” methods of propaganda in order to terrify the public into mass compliance.

From New Zealand Gang Leaders PSA Urges Members to Get Covid Vaccine

Seven leaders across four prominent posses are featured in a new campaign video to see their ranks get vaccinated against the coronavirus, the New Zealand Herald reported on Tuesday.

The public service announcement was commissioned by the minister for Maori development, Willie Jackson, with the help of his son, producer Hikurangi Jackson, who asked gang leaders to make videos encouraging fellow gang members — and those otherwise interested in their cause — to get vaccinated.

The 4-minute video featured Denis O’Reilly of the Black Power gang, who said he’s “taken a few shots” since he joined at 19-years-old — including two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine — and asked his community “to do the same.”

“This is not all about gangs — this is all about our whānau [family],” said Harry Tam of the Mongrel Mob in the clip. “One thing we need to be clear about is that this is not about the government telling us; it is about the experts telling the government, that is getting us to vaccinate to protect ourselves

Another Mongrel Mob member, Dennis Makalio, told viewers that getting vaccinated was a “no-brainer” for him.

At a total population of 5.08 million, New Zealand’s current outbreak hovers at around 3,600 cases — 70% of which come from native peoples, despite the fact that they are a minority in the country at just 27% of the population. The Guardian reported on Tuesday that 72% of eligible Maori have had one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, while 85% of Pasifika have achieved the same.

The prevalence of the disease among those groups has prompted health officials to grant gang leaders special essential-worker status, allowing them to reach out to their communities more effectively.

“We are all vulnerable,” Tam said, though he worries most about children and elders. Stephen Daley, a k a Teflon 88, of the Head Hunters agreed, saying his choice to be vaccinated was inspired by his concern for younger generations, or “whakapapa [genealogy].” Adding that it’s a personal choice, his message concluded that members should make “an informed decision.”

Paula Ormsby of the Mongrel Mob Waikato Kingdom encouraged her community to “protect” their lineage and seek out trusted Indigenous doctors “that specialize in COVID” for reassurance.

Speaking first in Samoan, then English, Ta’alili To’omalatai of the King Cobras said they’re responsible “for the safety of our community.”

As a grandfather and uncle, Black Power’s Michael Te Pou participated in the campaign “for our tamariki [children] and our mokopuna [grandchildren],” he declared.
