CREDITSUISSE HAS STRONG CAPITAL BASE AND LIQUIDITY SAYS CEO

#CreditSuisse (CSGN.S) has solid #capital and #liquidity, Chief Executive Ulrich #Koerner told staff in a memo seen by Reuters on Friday and confirmed by a spokesperson for the Swiss bank that is due to announce the outcome of a strategic review next month.

"I know it's not easy to remain focused amid the many stories you read in the media – in particular, given the many factually inaccurate statements being made.

That said, I trust that you are not confusing our day-to-day stock price performance with the strong #capitalbase and #liquidity position of the #bank," he wrote, adding that he was unable to share details of transformation plans before Oct. 27.
THE EURO WITHOUT GERMAN INDUSTRY

MICHAEL #HUDSON

The reaction to the #sabotage of three of the four #NordStream 1 and 2 #pipelines in four places on Monday, September 26, has focused on speculations about who did it and whether #NATO will make a serious attempt to discover the answer.

Yet instead of panic, there has been a great sigh of diplomatic relief, even calm.

Disabling these pipelines ends the uncertainty and worries on the part of
#US/#NATO diplomats that nearly reached a crisis proportion the previous week, when large #demonstrations took place in #Germany calling for the sanctions to end and to commission NordStream 2 to resolve the #energycrisis.

The German public was coming to understand what it will mean if their #steel companies, #fertilizer companies, #glass companies and #toiletpaper companies were shutting down.

These companies were forecasting that they would have to go out of business entirely – or shift operations to the United States – if Germany did not withdraw from the trade and currency sanctions against Russia and permit Russian gas and oil imports to resume, and presumably to fall back from their astronomical eight to tenfold price increase......

.......

German industrial exports and attraction of foreign investment inflows were major factors supporting the euro’s exchange rate.

To Germany, the great attraction in moving from the deutsche mark to the euro was to avoid its export surplus pushing up the D-mark’s exchange rate and pricing German products out of world markets.

Expanding the eurozone to include Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and other countries running balance-of-payments deficits prevented the euro from soaring.

THAT PROTECTED THE COMPETITIVENESS OF GERMAN INDUSTRY.

Has the US overplayed its hand?

Wolfgang #Grupp, the owner of one of #Germany's largest textile companies #Trigema, called for a "break with America" following the suspected terrorist attack on the #NordStream #pipelines, in an interview with #BILD.

Germans need to understand that in order to preserve its global hegemony, the US is doing everything it can to keep Germany and the rest of the
#EU from having any economic ties to #Russia.

And Now He Won’t Testify Before #EU #Committee

#Pfizer #CEO Albert #Bourla will not testify before the EU #Parliament’s special committee on #COVID-19 later this month.

#vaccine deals he struck with European Commission President Ursula #VonDerLeyen.

The deal preceeded the distribution of the Pfizer vaccine to Europe.


Other Big Pharma companies have already testified with the committee.


Von der Leyen was directly involved in preliminary negotiations for the EU’s biggest vaccine contract.

It is getting very serious:

Germany has no idea who has claims to the gas in their gas storage facilities

"The german government does not know what amount of stored gas will be available to German companies in the winter. ... Knowledge of where the individual stored gas goes is not available to the government." The Federal Network Agency stressed, "The stored gas is largely owned by gas traders, who often operate across Europe."

Gas from german storage could also go abroad in winter

Even the gas stored under trusteeship of the german gas management agency in the former Gazprom storage in Rehden is not reserved for Germany. This gas can be used by all gas companies registered on the German gas market. The decisive factor is who bids the highest price."

The question is why Russia is not included into the investigation team? Does it mean that they are trying to blame Russia for blowing up her own investment into the Nord Stream? #TransFormator 💤

🇩🇪🇩🇰🇸🇪Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser Following the explosions on the Nordstream pipelines in the Baltic Sea, Germany will support Denmark and Sweden in a joint team in the investigation.

Russia,as the affected party, is not included in the group.

Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) told BILD am SONNTAG: "All indications point to acts of sabotage on the Nordstream pipelines. Germany is working very closely with Denmark and Sweden to clarify the background. It has been agreed with my counterparts: we now want to form a joint investigation Team – a joint investigation group under EU law, to which all three countries are sending investigators.“
This serious attack on the European energy infrastructure must be clarified. This requires the expertise of the Navy, police and intelligence services, according to Faeser.

In addition, the Interior Minister announces joint maritime inspections with the neighboring countries Poland, Denmark and Sweden: "We patrol the sea in close coordination with each other. We show the maximum possible presence. For these increased patrols, we are using all available forces and ships of the Federal Police. Our special forces are equipped for special danger situations.“

According to the Minister of the Interior, the protection of critical infrastructure has the highest priority. The order of the day is high vigilance: "The federal and state governments are aligning their protective measures with the risk assessments of the Federal Criminal Police Office, which are constantly updated. We have been assuming an abstract threat to the energy infrastructure for months. However, there are – as of now – no specific hazard warnings for German plants,“ says Faeser.

WEF openly says those who submitted to the COVID-1984 lockdowns will also accept smart cities and social credit scores

Published on September 14, 2022 the two authors layout the steps towards the masses accepting smart cities and a social credit score system that is 'carbon-based.'

These are the three significant developments mentioned in the article:

COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.

Fourth Industrial Revolution technology breakthroughs – total surveillance of what you do, say and eat.

Raised awareness and ownership for nature and environment

As sad as this is, the WEF is 100% correct. The masses will blindly accept these initiatives.

🇺🇲🇷🇺 NATO has sent an intelligence report to member countries warning of the "missing from the base" of the Russian nuclear submarine K-329 Belgorod, which carries up to 6 Poseidon torpedoes - known as the "Paladin of the Apocalypse" - La Repubblica reported.

The US has activated a satellite network to track torpedoes by the temperature the torpedoes emit when they are activated, but they are unable to detect them underwater.

Today the German state celebrates "German Unity Day", marking the 32nd anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany's takeover of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

For many former GDR citizens the capitalist takeover of the former people-owned businesses that most of them had been employed by spelled economic catastrophe. Their former state became a neoliberal laboratory for west German capitalists at the expense of the east german people, whose right to work abruptly ceased to exist.

After three decades of German reunification, the economic gap between east and west continues to divide the country. The average home in west Germany is twice as wealthy as in the east.
