Lagarde: "I don’t want Europe to be dependent on an unfriendly country’s currency... the Chinese currency, the Russian currency... I don’t want Meta, Google, or Amazon to suddenly come up with a currency..."
Big Eurasian land powers, US Big Tech are both hegemonic threats to EU.
Pranksters Vovan and Lexus posing as Zelensky tricked ECB President Christine Lagarde into disclosing her plan to launch a "Digital Euro" in October that will give central banks control over how citizens can spend money:
"There will be control. You’re right. You’re completely right. We are considering whether for very small amounts, you know, anything that is around 300, 400 €, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control. But that could be dangerous...
I don’t want Europe to be dependent on an unfriendly country’s currency, for instance, you know, the Chinese currency, the Russian currency... I don’t want Meta, Google, or Amazon to suddenly come up with a currency that would take over the sovereignty of Europe."
Central bank digital currencies are the latest battleground in the ongoing struggle for individual liberties. Without global awareness, central banks will pull off a massive violation of human rights, and citizens will cheer them on while they do it.

BoE resuming QE through the back door when it should instead raise rates to stem the weakening of the pound. UK starting to look like Turkey and other unorthodox EM with totally wrong policy mix: fiscal and monetary easing

Big news: hearing from several sources in the UK that some pension funds are quickly becoming insolvent due to huge margin calls they can’t meet.
The massive move in 30y UK swaps and bonds coupled with risk assets tanking behind the problem.
That “explains” the BoE action.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nadhim Zahawi, has been sending threatening letters to people investigating his tax affairs. The letters are designed to intimidate & say they're confidential and can't be published.
One was sent to me. I am publishing it. taxpolicy.org.uk/2022/07/22/…

TRUSSONOMICS: a thread
In her interview on @BBCr4today, Liz Truss made 3 economic propositions
1) Her tax cuts will decrease inflation
2) Tax cuts boost growth and prevent recession
3) Tax cuts increase government revenues
It would be great if these were true

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful tweet?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that account come from?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God! Am I the threat vector?"

So the lockdown rules weren’t actually rules. It was a clever test to see if people would break the rules to prove they loved their children. Fair play to the government, that is some Willy Wonka shit.
