Trading hot air did not work. The U.N. is trying the Covid scam. We need to go back to the carbon trade trading to understand what is going on today with the suspicious government actions on Covid 19. The idea of Carbon Trading entered into force in 2005. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. But in 2008 we had the financial crisis and things got tough from them on. The Protocol's first commitment period started in 2008 and ended in 2012 the crisis was hitting the world economy hard Then 2016 the US elected Trump and the wheels air fell off the carbon trading cart The whole idea of carbon trade trading was to manage human economic activities by a United Nations mandate. How could the world's economic activities be managed by a supra national entity and force the world activities to slow down? Use Covid 19 to scare the masses! What is the banner of Joe Biden and a cohort of new democrat folks like AOC? Green economy ! Joe Biden is playing in the hands of the U.N. cabal. Just to remember: The carbon trade originated with the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, with the objective of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change and future global warming. At the time, the measure devised was intended to reduce overall carbon dioxide emissions to roughly 5% below 1990 levels by between 2008 and 2012.

Hi EK How Europeans use Covid to access government money for profitability This is an exchange between me and a Danish, the husband of a Kenyan friend of mine Anders: Here in Denmark there is now a new strain/mutation of the corona Anders: Earlier this year a lot of mink got infected with corona - now the virus mutated between them - now this new strain is infecting humans. Anders: We will get tough restrictions today in our area of the country.Anders:If this one spreads around the world the vaccines are worthless.Anders:17.000.000 mink are getting put down. Osvaldo Coelho: WoW ! this is a huge economic impact on the fur industry. It will bankrupt the small guys ! Anders: I Think they have insurance and Will get government help Anders: When they start again prices will be higher as supply will be super low And me thinking here: So far only South Africa used Covid to inflate prices:They did that by cutting the supply of Platinum and Palladium (whose prices were already at record level) by closing the mines using Covid as an excuse. Why South Africa (and a few other mining countries like Canada) stopped the mines that are located way in the middle of nowhere? The answer is: because South Africa is a big producer of platinum and palladium metals.cut supply and prices will go even higher

Africa did not do what LATAM did in the 90s when, to recover from the debt crisis followed the policies of the Washington Consensus. The Washington Consensus was a tool to get capital back into the developing countries post-debt crisis. That meant taking government out of their economies That is why the LATAM left hated it. When it was time for Africa to adapt, like LATAM did mid 90s, (they are always behind the rest of the world) China appeared buying commodities and investing in infrastructure The Africans continued as if it was still the 1970s. It wasn't. China closed its wallet. After all, China could not grow double digits forever. and the Commodities Super Cycle of the 2000s ended. This is where Africa has been for the past 6 years (2014-2020). Covid or no Covid, Africa would be in the same trouble (high ebt pointing to lower GDP growht) as it is now. Because it is structural. It is not only cyclical.

Not only gas, E_K_S and not only China. Russia and China plotting to control the supply of energy and materials. I think I see here a embryo of a monster! Imagine a block that dominate energy and materials, Cold War 2.0 will be: NATO with Weapons x BRICS with Energy and Materials We know China control 80% of the global supply of those rare-earth minerals and that china was ready to weaponizing Second: Russia response to the embago and sanctions is showing the world that materials matter. Europe may have another raw material dependency on Moscow in addition to oil and gas. According to the US Geological Survey, Bolivia has the world’s largest lithium reserves – 21 million tons. The article reminds that by this indicator it is ahead of Argentina and Chile. The author believes that Russia currently has a particularly high chance of succeeding in the lithium poker game. https://newsunrolled.com/economy/45373.html?amp=1 While saw the last BRICS meeting as creating an embryo for a currency competing with the USD, they are, in fact, plotting to create a block to control energy and materials. Russia already has a lot of influence on the supply of nickel, fertilizers, oil & gas and grain China controls the market for Rare Earths and in refining of many minerals Brazil food and mineral. South Africa minerals. Is this the shape of things to come? This is where the Chinese come in helping with the strategy. the development of "BRICS Plus," the BRICS family is set to become an indispensable forum for the collective interests of developing and emerging countries. China’s Wang said that “to strengthen the solidarity and cooperation between emerging markets and developing countries,” for the first time, officials and foreign ministers of Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and Thailand, described as BRICS Plus countries, were invited to a May virtual meeting of BRICS foreign ministers. China with its market size and the cash to grab market from trading companies: First, the giant multinational companies such as ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus monopolize the global grain market, accounting for more than 80 percent of the world's grain transactions. These multinational giants buy low and sell high in the grain futures market to reap high profits. And since they have the capability and power to set grain prices, they are using all means to ensure their stocks soar this year. This is certainly a trend to watch.
