‘Contagion’- A new made-up word for a new made-up crisis

[Baron von Lotsov]

You can always tell when a scam is going down with the elite because the liars in MSM central invent a new word. Well in this case a rather old one cica 14c infact, but it meant something else then and is Latin for a spreading disease. Is this really what is happening? No of course not, it’s BS like you would expect from these people. A disease is some germ that transmits from one body to another. This is a completely false description of the crisis, because as we all know it is not some infection, it is the body itself, the EU and the way it is set up that is the problem. So unlike a disease it will not contaminate non-EU countries will it now? So BS QED! Go and repent thy sins ye unholy MSM!

At the risk of disappointing you twice, BVL : "contagion" is not Latin, but French (from Latin "contagio"), and it has been in the English language for a long time. No invention there. JR

It said 'from Latin' when I looked it up and it also said late 14th century. That is what I said and I also said that originally it was referring to an infection. Please read, and stop trying to correct mistakes that are not there. Only in the last 10-20 years it seems that there are vague references in the financial sense, according to Wikipedia from other news BS from other financial situations. You always tend to get this slight of hand, it's like the word 'racism', it came from the 1930s, but the references were virtually non-existent, rather they found it in just one book. This tends to put the likes of you sceptics that think everything the establishment say is totally correct off the track. It is not a general economic term from the study of economics, it is a made-up word designed to sell a lie by giving it false legitimacy. Please bear this in mind, you are being scammed!

There is the possibility of a fiscal problem crossing borders as happened in 1929. However we will not see that today as the governments of the world will simply print more money. Problem solved.

It can only a minor secondary effect because all nations hold a basket of international currencies to hedge against this sort of thing. Actually if they had done their job properly the effect would be zero because the Forex is a zero-sum game. Where one currency is going down another one they hold will go up to compensate. They do this precisely to prevent their own currency becoming affected by one currency or commodity going tits up.

My point is it is a false conceptualisation, made to give it a false academic legitimacy. Most things in economics are as old as the hills and are well-accepted theories, which are given terms to signify this. So this is the lie of it. It is not one of those obvious lies like telling the punter black is white, it is far more insideous and something Orwell brought to the attention of the world. A brutal communist regime controls not only the people they rule over but they control their very language and hence concepts thereby dictating to them how they should think using language as the tool. Orwell called it Newspeak. It is exactly what we are looking at here. I spotted it was being introduced by the Telegraph a few days ago. Here we see the birth of a new word. Mark my words; it will be universal within a few months.

If it helps, the word "contagion" is used outside medicine (like "epidemic" is often used). My knowledge of it is in marketing psychology where Contagion Theory explains the contagious spread of mood and behaviour among people and groups. It's known as one of the Interaction Theories. All good stuff which keeps academics amused for hours.

That's interesting. I have certainly seen this idea of psychology driving markets aired numerous times in the same lying media. It is of course absolute BS because the markets are mathematical and driven by computer modeling and not hunches. Would you gamble billions of pounds on a hunch? I certainly wouldn't.

We should pay more attention to these academics because I think we have a few more Phil Jones' out there, working for someone or other who does not represent the taxpayer's interests.

People are lazy though and this is how this nonesense spreads. They dress it up in the sort of language that people copy because school has trained them to copy; hence you get such a propagation of lies. It is usually the case that the liars are not even consciously aware that they don't speak the truth; they have just copied because of a lack of knowledge in the subject. I had to add a remark to put one of these journalists on a level yesterday regarding this. Fortunately the Telegraph readers gave the comment the thumbs up.

What I’m suspicious of is that this theory will have a solution already manufactured to ‘solve’ the bogus problem. This would be where they really hang us, and I should imagine it might have a solution based on greater protectionism. That’s just a hunch though, so don’t bank on it!

'Contagion' seems to suggest the body of the EU(ro) is healthy, but, because parts have fallen prey to a diseased condition, other, (healthy), parts are at risk of infection.

It can be appreciated therefore, that the healthy, sound, innocent EU(ro) may become the victim of 'contagion'.
