A bird flu shot for humans is being prepared “just in case” it mutates. But if it hasn’t mutated to infect humans yet, how do the “scientists” have access to the sequencing to create an effective vaccine anyway?

The current outbreak of avian flu known as H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b has killed record numbers of birds and infected mammals. Human cases, however, remain very rare, and global health officials have said the risk of transmission between humans is still low. Yet Big Pharma is ready to cash in whenever the media tells people the bird flu is going to kill them the same way they did with COVID-19.

Executives at three vaccine manufacturers told Reuters they are already developing or about to test sample human vaccines that better match the circulating subtype, as a precautionary measure against a future pandemic. Other Big Pharma giants say they “stand ready” to mass produce vaccines and to reap the benefits of another plandemic.

There has also been a push among companies to develop a bird flu vaccine for poultry, a market potentially far larger than that for humans. –Reuters

The goal here is obviously to profit off of the demise of birds (and humans, should it come to that). Whether the avian flu is real or a completely made-up and hyped-up thing is irrelevant. Unfortunately, a good amount of people have already fallen for it and will get the shots or get sick with whatever is going to be released and called “avian influenza.”

Most of the potential human doses are earmarked for wealthy countries in long-standing preparedness contracts, global health experts and the companies said. Many countries’ pandemic plans say flu shots should go first to the most vulnerable while supply is limited. But during COVID-19, many vaccine-rich countries inoculated large proportions of their populations before considering sharing doses.

So the ruling classes are all of a sudden concerned with impoverished people having access to “vaccines” it creates? This whole scheme reaks of narrative and

Research Funded By Fauci And Gates Could See Bird Flu Become The Next Deadly Pandemic

“We could potentially have a much worse problem with vaccine hoarding and vaccine nationalism in a flu outbreak than we saw with COVID,” said Dr. Richard Hatchett, chief executive of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which helps fund vaccine research.

If Bird Flu Is Spreading Among Humans, We Could Have Another Health Scare

The World Health Organization said it has signed legally binding agreements with 14 manufacturers for 10% of their pandemic flu vaccine “as it comes off the production line”, in a mix of donated doses and doses to be bought by the agency at an affordable price. The agreements include six of the largest seasonal flu manufacturers, such as Glaxo Smith Klein, Sanofi, and CSL Seqirus, the WHO said.

Since they are pre-preparing a “vaccine” and getting the bird flu “jump to humans” narrative solidified, should we all just assume that that’s the next step in the grand scheme to make sure we are all permanent slaves?

Rulers Begin to Establish A “Bird Flu” Narrative

They are desperately trying to plug one leak in the system after another, but what happens if the entire system suddenly comes crashing down all around them?  Back on January 4th, I specifically warned that our problems would “greatly accelerate over the next 12 months”, and that is precisely what has happened.  We are now in the midst of the most severe banking crisis since 2008, and it could soon get a whole lot worse.  We have already witnessed the second and third largest bank failures in the entire history of our nation, and now it is being reported that 186 more banks “are at risk of failure”…

On the heels of Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse earlier this month, 186 more banks are at risk of failure even if only half of their depositors decide to withdraw their funds, a new study has found.

That is because the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes to tamp down inflation have eroded the value of bank assets such as government bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

“The recent declines in bank asset values very significantly increased the fragility of the U.S. banking system to uninsured depositor runs,” economists wrote in a recent paper published on the Social Science Research Network.

Needless to say, these banks realize that they are in jeopardy, and a coalition of mid-size banks is literally begging federal regulators to cover all uninsured deposits for at least the next two years…

A coalition of midsize US banks asked federal regulators to extend FDIC insurance to all deposits for the next two years, arguing the guarantee is needed to avoid a wider run on the banks.

“Doing so will immediately halt the exodus of deposits from smaller banks, stabilize the banking sector and greatly reduce chances of more bank failures,” the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America said in a letter to regulators seen by Bloomberg News.

If federal regulators don’t do this, vast amounts of money will continue to be transferred from small and mid-size banks to the “too big to fail” banks.

But I’ll tell you why such a move is not likely to happen right now.

If every bank account in America is suddenly fully guaranteed by the federal government, there will be a giant sucking sound as wealthy individuals pull their money out of European banks where large balances are not fully insured.

The European banking system is already teetering on the brink of collapse.  In fact, we just learned that UBS has just agreed to an emergency purchase of Credit Suisse…

Switzerland’s biggest bank, UBS, has agreed to buy its ailing rival Credit Suisse in an emergency rescue deal aimed at stemming financial market panic unleashed by the failure of two American banks earlier this month.

“UBS today announced the takeover of Credit Suisse,” the Swiss National Bank said in a statement. It said the rescue would “secure financial stability and protect the Swiss economy.”

UBS is paying 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.25 billion) for Credit Suisse, about 60% less than the bank was worth when markets closed on Friday. Credit Suisse shareholders will be largely wiped out, receiving the equivalent of just 0.76 Swiss francs in UBS shares for stock that was worth 1.86 Swiss francs on Friday.

So to protect foreign banks, small and mid-size banks in the U.S. will be allowed to fail.

But if large numbers of small and mid-size banks start failing, this country will rapidly plunge into an economic nightmare.

On Saturday, Zero Hedge posted one of the greatest tweets that I have seen in a long time…

If the Fed does not contain the regional bank collapse, there will be another great depression.

Small/medium banks account for 50% of US commercial and industrial lending, 60% of residential real estate lending, 80% of commercial real estate lending, and 45% of consumer lending pic.twitter.com/wzTMHxSnXI

I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Our economy runs on mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and debit cards.

If a bank gets into trouble, the flow of credit from that bank is restricted.

And if a bank fails, the flow of credit from that bank completely stops.

If lots of banks start going under in this country, economic activity will shrink substantially and we really will be facing “another great depression”.

At this point, conditions are so dire that Warren Buffett is getting personally involved…

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Warren Buffett has been in touch with senior officials in President Joe Biden’s administration in recent days as the regional banking crisis unfolds.

There have been multiple conversations between Biden’s team and Buffett in the past week, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The calls have centered around Buffett possibly investing in the US regional banking sector in some way, but the billionaire has also given advice and guidance more broadly about the current turmoil.

It appears that far more is going on behind the scenes than we are being told.

Interestingly, lots of private jets were flying in and out of Omaha on Friday…

The Private Jets arrived in Omaha in multiple groups. Sometimes landing at almost the same exact time.

Did Buffett schedule some meetings with different groups of CEOs every hour?

Hopefully a way can be found to stabilize the banking system, because economic conditions are certainly bad enough already.

Earlier today, I was surprised to learn that Disney is getting ready to conduct a second round of layoffs…

After announcing a plan to slash nearly 7,000 jobs, Disney is reportedly instructing managers to propose budget cuts and put together lists of employees to be laid off in the coming weeks.

It is unclear whether Disney will begin layoffs in small waves or cut thousands of employees all at once, but the company will announce at least 4,000 current employees will be out of work sometime in April, according to Business Insider.

All over America, large companies are letting workers go.

But even though a significant economic downturn has already obviously begun, we are being told that the Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates yet again this week…

The Federal Reserve will kick off its meeting with trading expected to be light heading into a decision on interest rates Wednesday.

Despite the market tumult, 62% of investors expect the policymakers to continue hiking rates, which would mark the ninth straight increase. Thirty-eight percent expect no change, according to CME’s FedWatch.

After everything that has transpired over the past couple of weeks, it would literally be suicidal to raise rates again.

But they just might do it anyway.

So many of the things that I have been relentlessly warning about are now starting to transpire right in front of our eyes.

A great financial meltdown has begun, and our leaders seem very unsure about how to handle it.

Unfortunately for them, what we have gone through so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

The post 186 More Banks “Are At Risk Of Failure”, And That Could Push Us Into The Next Great Depression appeared first on The Economic Collapse.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The Big Banks Have Bailed Out First Republic, But Who Is Going To Bail Out The Big Banks When They Start Failing?

Every single day there are more twists and turns to this new banking panic.  In fact, we just learned that the big banks have gotten together to save First Republic.  That is good news because the collapse of First Republic would have been a major catastrophe.

But First Republic is just one in a very long list of banks that are in very serious jeopardy.  For months, I relentlessly warned that our financial system could not handle higher interest rates.  It was inevitable that financial institutions would start to break, and that is precisely what has happened.    We are in far more trouble than most people realize, and we are still only in the very early chapters of this crisis.

Initially, there were rumors that a buyer was being sought for First Republic, but instead the “too big to fail” banks agreed on a plan to deposit a total of 30 billion dollars into the troubled institution…

A group of financial institutions has agreed to deposit $30 billion in First Republic Bank in what’s meant to be a sign of confidence in the banking system, the banks announced Thursday afternoon.

Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase will contribute about $5 billion apiece, while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will deposit around $2.5 billion, the banks said in a news release. Truist, PNC, U.S. Bancorp, State Street and Bank of New York Mellon will deposit about $1 billion each.

They have all agreed to keep that money in First Republic for at least 120 days, and you can read the joint press release that they issued right here.

Needless to say, executives at First Republic are greatly relieved.  So much money had been pulled out of the bank in recent days, and at one point on Thursday the stock was selling for less than 20 dollars a share…

First Republic’s stock, which closed at $115 per share on March 8, traded below $20 at one point Thursday. The stock was halted repeatedly during the session and rose to $40 per share at one point, up more than 20% on the day.

Did insiders at First Republic know that this was coming?

It is being reported that top executives have sold off a staggering number of shares since the beginning of 2023…

First Republic Bank executives quietly sold nearly $12 million worth of its stock in just the past three months, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Executive Chairman James Herbert II sold the most of any of the other insiders, off-loading a whopping $4.5 million worth of shares since the start of the year.

In all, four of the struggling bank’s top executives sold $11.8 million worth of stock so far this year, at prices averaging just below $130 a share, the Journal found.

As I have always said, you only make money in the stock market if you get out in time.

And those guys got out in time.

So why was First Republic in so much trouble?

Well, just like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, they were sitting on enormous unrealized losses because the government bonds that they were holding had lost a ton of value thanks to rapidly rising interest rates.

Ultimately, those unrealized losses made a potential purchase of First Republic quite “unappealing” to the “too big to fail” banks…

In the great financial crisis, several struggling banks were bought for cheap by the larger firms in an effort to help calm the banking system. However, the unrealized losses on First Republic’s bond portfolio due to last year’s rapid rise in interest rates have made an acquisition unappealing, the sources said.

The markdown, which would involve the bank’s held-to-maturity bond portfolio, would amount to about a $25 billion hole on First Republic’s balance sheet, sources told Faber.

But the “too big to fail” banks are collectively sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars in unrealized losses themselves.

And they also have trillions of dollars worth of exposure to the derivatives bubble.

So who is going to bail them out when they start failing?

That is a question that we all need to start asking.

And as trouble increasingly shakes our banking sector, that is going to have enormous implications for our economy as a whole…

A fall in bank deposits will lead to less “high-powered” money, i.e. bank reserves, in the system, which means considerably tighter financial conditions than hitherto experienced. That would be the final straw for an economy that was already highly likely to enter a recession as soon as the summer.

In order for our current economic system to function effectively, we need stable banks, and we need people to have faith in those banks.

For the moment, most ordinary Americans say that they still have faith in the institutions where they are currently doing their banking…

Seven in 10 people surveyed said they still have faith in banks. That compares with two-thirds of customers who said they trust banks in February, the Morning Consult survey found.

But the same can’t be said for those at the top of the economic food chain.

In fact, many of them are now transferring vast sums out of their banks while they still can…

Wealthy investors and family offices are moving more of their money out of bank cash balances and into Treasurys, money markets and other short-term instruments, according to wealth advisors.

High net worth investors typically keep millions of dollars or even tens of millions in cash in their bank accounts to cover bills and unexpected expenses. Their balances are often way above the $250,000 FDIC insured limit. Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and potential cracks in the network of regional banks, wealth advisers say many clients are now asking fundamental questions about how and where to keep their cash.

This crisis is just getting started.

Every domino that falls is just going to make things even worse, and ultimately I believe that the entire system is headed for an unprecedented meltdown.

So I would encourage you to do whatever you need to do to protect yourself, because things are only going to get crazier from here.

It isn’t a mystery.  For decades, “experts” in the western world have been coming up with incredibly bizarre theories about where the Ark of the Covenant is located.  One of those theories was popularized by “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, but that theory is just fiction.  In fact, all of the wacky theories that you see out there are just fiction.  Over in Israel, the current location of the Ark of the Covenant is an open secret.  It is in the same underground chamber where it has been for more than 2,600 years, and it will be there until the time comes for it to be revealed.  And once it is finally revealed, the Israeli people will see an immediate need to construct a new temple for it.

The article that I posted about the Ark of the Covenant the other day certainly got a lot of attention.

And it also spawned a lot of questions.

In particular, many people wanted to know how I could be so sure about the location of the Ark of the Covenant.

This surprised me, because the truth is that the location of the Ark of the Covenant has actually been known for decades.

A reader has pointed out to me that the Temple Institute is even publicly admitting that they know exactly where the Ark of the Covenant is on their own website.  The following excerpt comes from the page where the Temple Institute answers frequently asked questions…

The Ark of the Covenant is one of the most fascinating of all Temple-related subjects. There are many theories about what happened to the Ark of the Covenant, and speculation abounds as to its actual location. Some people think it was taken to the Vatican, together with other Temple vessels, such as those depicted on the Roman monument, the Arch of Titus. There are many authentic, ancient historical chronicles, and even more popular legends, that attest to many sacred vessels having been taken away to Rome. However, this does not apply to the most holy feature of the First Temple, the Ark.

While some claim to have evidence that the ark is in Ethiopia, and of course, moviegoers were treated to a fanciful version of the story in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” in reality, the expression “lost” ark is not an accurate description for the Jewish people’s point of view – because we have always known exactly where it is. So the Ark is “Hidden,” and hidden quite well, but it is not lost.

Tradition records that even as King Solomon built the First Temple, he already knew, through Divine inspiration, that eventually it would be destroyed. Thus Solomon, the wisest of all men, oversaw the construction of a vast system of labyrinths, mazes, chambers and corridors underneath the Temple Mount complex. He commanded that a special place be built in the bowels of the earth, where the sacred vessels of the Temple could be hidden in case of approaching danger. Midrashic tradition teaches that King Josiah of Israel, who lived about forty years before the destruction of the First Temple, commanded the Levites to hide the Ark, together with the original menorah and several other items*, in this secret hiding place which Solomon had prepared.

This location is recorded in our sources, and today, there are those who know exactly where this chamber is. And we know that the ark is still there, undisturbed, and waiting for the day when it will be revealed. An attempt was made some few years ago to excavate towards the direction of this chamber. This resulted in widespread Moslem unrest and rioting. They stand a great deal to lose if the Ark is revealed – for it will prove to the whole world that there really was a Holy Temple, and thus, that the Jews really do have a claim to the Temple Mount.

Personally, I disagree with the Temple Institute about who hid it.

They believe that it was King Josiah, but I believe that Jeremiah hid it in order to keep it from being captured by the Babylonians.

But we all agree where it is right now.

It is in a cave under the Temple Mount, and it will stay there until the time comes for it to be revealed.

And that could happen a lot sooner than you may think.

Once it is finally revealed, it will just be a matter of time before Jewish leaders start conducting sacrifices.

In fact, the Temple Institute says that such offerings could actually begin “before the building of the Temple itself”…

We are building a stone altar offsite so that when the opportunity arrives we can move it to its proper location on the Mount. The Divine service, including the offerings can begin before the building of the Temple itself, once the altar is built and standing in its proper place.

With that in mind, I would like to expand on what I shared about Daniel chapter 9 the other day.

As I shared in that article, a corrected translation of the original Hebrew of the first clause of Daniel 9:27 should look something like this…

“The Covenant will be confirmed (or strengthened) with many for one week”.

If you don’t understand how I came up with that translation, I would encourage you to go back and read my previous article, because I am not going to repeat that analysis here.

Today, I want to examine the original language of the second clause of Daniel 9:27.  This is how it is translated in the King James Version…

“and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease”

Once again, I want to remind all of you that every time that you see the word “he” in Daniel 9:27 you should disregard it because there is no “he” in the original language of Daniel 9:27 at all.

Just like the first clause of Daniel 9:27, the second clause of the verse is also made up of just five Hebrew words.

The first Hebrew word is “ḥēṣî“, and most of the time in your Bible it is translated as “half”, but it can also be translated as “midst” or “middle”.

The second Hebrew word is “šāḇûaʿ”, and as I discussed the other day it can be translated as “a period of seven” but more commonly in our English versions it is translated as “week”.

The third Hebrew word is “šāḇaṯ”, and it is most commonly translated as “cease” or “rest”.

The fourth Hebrew word is “zeḇaḥ”, and it is translated as “sacrifice” 155 times in the King James Version.

The fifth Hebrew word is “minḥâ”, and it is translated as “offering” 164 times in the King James Version, but it can also be translated as “present”, “gift” or “oblation”.

So let’s put all of the pieces together.

A corrected translation of the second clause of Daniel 9:27 should look something like this…

“halfway through (or in the midst of) the week, sacrifices and offerings will cease”.

The original Hebrew appears to indicate that sacrifices and offerings will be resumed after the Covenant is confirmed, but they will come to a sudden halt at some point.

Of course if you have read my new book you already know why they come to a sudden halt.

But for purposes of this article I want to focus on the fact that the Bible says that sacrifices and offerings will definitely resume, and the Temple Institute is openly telling us that this could happen even before a new temple is constructed.

To me, the public revelation of the Ark of the Covenant could be the catalyst.

Once the entire world sees that the Ark of the Covenant still exists, that will change everything.

And among Jewish leaders there will be a firestorm of interest in resuming the ancient practices.

This is really coming.

In our time, the Ark of the Covenant will be revealed for the first time in more than 2,600 years, and it will be the greatest archaeological bombshell in human history.

This is such an exciting time to be alive, and I believe that global events are going to accelerate even more in the weeks and months ahead.

I would encourage all of us to watch Israel very carefully in the coming days, because I believe that we could soon see some incredible events take place.  In particular, I am specifically watching for a couple of things.  Rumors of an imminent war between Israel and Iran are starting to reach a crescendo, and I am entirely convinced that such a conflict could potentially erupt this year.  Also, I am closely watching for an announcement about the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant.  Needless to say, such an announcement would be the greatest archaeological bombshell in history.  The current location of the Ark has been kept very quiet for a long time, but the Israeli government is not going to be able to keep a lid on this indefinitely.  And when the truth finally comes out, literally everything will change.

Let me start my discussion by talking about the coming conflict between Iran and Israel.  It is one of the “3 Wars Of The Apocalypse” that I wrote about earlier this month.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pledging that he will do whatever is necessary to stop Iran from building their own nuclear weapons, and he realizes that Israel has now reached put up or shut up time.

It won’t be too long before this war begins, and earlier today we learned that the U.S. and Israel are currently conducting drills “thought to be focused on Iran”…

Israeli fighter jets and refueler aircraft on Sunday began a two-week air drill with the US Air Force at an airbase in Nevada, a joint activity thought to be focused on Iran, with officials saying the exercises would include long-range flights and simulate strikes in unfamiliar enemy territory.

The seven F-35I fighter jets and two Boeing 707 refueling planes of the Israeli Air Force had been arriving at Nellis Air Force Base since Wednesday, ahead of the drill, known as Red Flag 23-2.

Meanwhile, there are rumors on social media that the Iranian military has been put on “high alert”.

According to local sources, Iran has put its military forces on high alert.

We will want to keep a very close eye on these developments, because a major war in the Middle East would send energy prices into the stratosphere and would throw the entire global economy into a state of chaos.

As I stated at the beginning of this article, I am also watching for news concerning the Ark of the Covenant.

It has been missing for more than 2,600 years, and as an article posted on MSN recently noted, there are some experts that wonder whether it ever existed at all…

The Ark of the Covenant remains one of history’s enduring mysteries. It’s certainly one of archaeology’s most perplexing puzzles. Did this gold-plated wooden box said to house the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written ever exist? If so, what happened to it? And where might this legendary artifact be hidden?

Of course the truth is that it does exist, but it has been missing for a really long time.

In fact, after the Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C., it totally disappeared from history…

The last known location of the Ark of the Covenant was in the First Temple’s Holy of Holies. However, after the Temple’s destruction in 586 BCE, it disappeared.

So where in the Ark today?

The answer is actually very simple.

It is still in the cave under the Temple Mount where Jeremiah hid it in order to keep it from being captured by the Babylonians.

Jewish authorities know exactly where it is.

And we know exactly where it is.

And they know that we know that they know exactly where it is.

So they won’t be able to keep this quiet for too much longer.

Incredibly, I also believe that the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant in the last days is mentioned in the Bible.

Daniel 9:27 tells us the following…

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Most Bible scholars are convinced that the “he” in this verse refers to the Antichrist.

However, there is a massive problem with that theory.

In the original Hebrew of Daniel 9:27, “he” does not exist at all.

So wherever you see “he” in Daniel 9:27 in your English translation, you should cross it out because it is simply not there.

Translators added “he” several times in that verse because they thought it was appropriate, but that was a big mistake.

If you go back and translate the verse from the original Hebrew, it gives it a whole new meaning.

The first clause of verse 27 consists of just five Hebrew words.

The first Hebrew word is “gabar”, and it means “to confirm”, “to be strong” or “to strengthen”.

Obviously, you only “confirm” or “strengthen” something that already exists.

The second Hebrew word in that clause is “beriyth”.  That word is translated as “covenant” 264 times in the King James Version, and in the vast majority of cases it refers to the covenant that God made with Israel.

In fact, “beriyth” is actually used in that manner earlier in the same chapter.

In Daniel 9:4, the Hebrew word “beriyth” is used to specifically refer to God’s covenant with Israel..

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

Do you think that the exact same Hebrew word will have two radically different meanings when used twice in the exact same chapter?

Anyone that believes that is treading on very thin ice.

The third Hebrew word in the first clause of Daniel 9:27 is “rab”, and that word is often translated as “many” in English translations.

The fourth Hebrew word in the first clause of Daniel 9:27 is “shabua”, and that can be translated as “a period of seven” but more commonly in our English versions it is translated as “week”.

The fifth Hebrew word in the first clause of Daniel 9:27 is “echad” which means “one”.

So let’s put all of these Hebrew words together.

A corrected translation of the first clause of Daniel 9:27 would go something like this…

“The Covenant will be confirmed (or strengthened) with many for one week”.

Let me ask you a question.

When that happens, what will it look like?

Needless to say, God could do this any way that He wanted to do this.

But throughout history, the Ark of the Covenant has always been the physical representation of God’s covenant with Israel.

So the discovery and public unveiling of the Ark would definitely “confirm” that God’s covenant with Israel has always existed and that it still exists today.

And once the Ark is revealed, it will need somewhere to dwell.  So there would be a tremendous sense of urgency to build a new temple or a new tabernacle for it in Jerusalem.

We really are living in the “End Times”, and I personally believe that a historic announcement about the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant is one of the most important signs that we should all be anticipating.

So keep watching Israel, because really big events are just around the corner.
