For those trying to understand what's going on in the world right now: the final battle between the blood of Edom and Jacob. Aka Cain's folk vs the sheepish flock of God called #Christians. A battle for souls. And not all is what it seems. #bible #bibletruth #endtimes #daysofnoah 
Who is keeping us from entering heaven, denying God (with false "science" mostly, nowadays), and by leading us into sin? Who controls the porn industry, gaming, the idolatrous film industry, the war machine?
Who are the #moneychangers, who steal the houses of poor widows? WHO?

Who's wanting to inject you with gene therapies for a flu? Killing their brethren, like their forefather #Cain killed Abel.
Reality is dead easy, once you've undone yourself from all the lies. Which is the hard part. Deprogramming your mind from the pharisee/jesuit lie system.

It's general election day in Italy. I have again seen lots of strange stories and statements on Italy in the international press.
So here's a data-based summary thread that may help in debunking claims about a "profligate, reform-lazy Italy", pulling all of Europe down. 🧵#CAIN

"Italy has been living beyond its means; now Italians finally need to adjust!"
In fact, 🇮🇹 has exported more goods and services than it imported since 2012 - also during the Covid crisis. Italians consume less than they produce - living below their means.

"Italy is just a debt mess at the costs of others in Europe."
In fact, private sector debt is relatively low in Italy compared to other OECD countries, which typically goes unmentioned when people complain about Italy's debt problems.

Italy is back in the news due to debates over the ECB and bond purchases. Unfortunately, there are again lots of distorted stories and statements around.

"🇮🇹 fails to do structural reforms to calm investors."
This ignores major rounds of labour market deregulation since early 1990s with contested macro effects. Furthermore, 🇮🇹 has committed to "structural reforms" with Next Gen EU. "Homework" language remains divisive. #CAIN 🧵

Italy has carried out many market-liberal reforms. Labour market flexibilisation brought a sharp increase in fixed-term contracts and a decline in real wages. However, these structural reforms have failed to boost Italy's productivity growth.
Labour market liberalisation generated temporary jobs. However, cheap labour reduced real wages and diminished incentives for companies to make labour-saving investments – with dampening effects on productivity, which is the basis for long-term growth.
Sappiamo che i travisamenti dell'Italia sono diffusi in Germania, Austria, Olanda e oltre.

1. L'Italia non vive oltre i propri mezzi. Dal 2012, l'Italia ha visto rimanere le esportazioni di beni e servizi superiori rispetto alle importazioni. Il paese consuma quindi meno di quanto produce.
2. Il debito privato è relativamente basso in Italia, la questione del debito non è quindi un problema per l'intera economia italiana.

1. ItalienerInnen leben nicht über ihren Verhältnissen: Italien weist seit 2012 höhere Exporte von Gütern und Dienstleistungen auf als Importe. Das Land verbraucht weniger als es produziert. Wenn überhaupt, lebt es unter seinen Verhältnissen.
2. Die private Verschuldung ist in Italien relativ gering. Das Thema Verschuldung ist kein Problem der gesamten italienischen Volkswirtschaft.

1. Italians do not live beyond their means. Since 2012, Italy has been recording higher exports of goods and services than imports. The country consumes less than it produces – if anything, it lives below its means.
2. Private debt is relatively low in Italy compared to other OECD countries. Debt is not an issue for all sectors of the Italian economy.
We’ve seen many misrepresentations of Italy. Now there’s the new #Draghi government – use the opportunity for a “New Southern Policy”! We wrote an article with data to debunk myths, and present ideas for moving forward. Thread #CAIN /1

1.Due to Covid, Italy’s public debt has jumped to 160% of GDP. It’s important to understand why Italy's public debt was high already before Covid19: primarily as a legacy from the 1980s and 1990s, when interest rates on government bonds skyrocketed.
2.If we exclude the burden of interest payments, the Italian state is the world champion in running budget surpluses from the early 1990s up to Corona (“primary surpluses”). A lack of fiscal discipline locks different…
Ho recentemente lanciato un'iniziativa su twitter, la Campagna contro le sciocchezze sull'Italia (#CAIN). Finora ho twittato in inglese, ma ora cercherò di renderla disponibile anche in italiano. Questo thread spiega perché penso che questa iniziativa sia necessaria /1
ll modo in cui giornalisti e politici scrivono e parlano dell'Italia e del Sud Europa è spesso distorto - specialmente nell'opinione pubblica "frugale". L'Italia non è il caso disperato dell'immaginario popolare. Il modo in cui si parla delle cose conta molto. /2
Questo è stato evidente nelle prime fasi della crisi COVID, quando i leader "frugali" hanno usato immagini distorte del Sud Europa per ridimensionare le sovvenzioni del recovery fund dell'UE. /3
As the announcement of the New Draghi government is approaching, here is a thread with a couple of thoughts why I think that political leaders in Europe should push for a "New Southern Policy". Bottom line: the EU as a whole would be stronger with a strengthened Italy /1 #CAIN
Italy certainly has significant structural problems, e.g. the banking sector, the North-South divide, organized crime or dysfunctional political elements. Other members also have their own problems. The question is: Under what conditions is Italy able to tackle such problems? /2
In this country of 60 million people, my reading of the political economy situation is that economic decline relative to other members over the last 20 years has been a breeding ground for fatalism rather than optimism. /3

In its current architecture, the eurozone is a web of glass—superficially stable, but brittle when subject to shocks. To avoid a break-up and render it resilient for the long term, the sources of this fragility must be identified and remedied. /2
The reasons for the €Z’s fragility are essentially political; technical solutions have been on the table for years. There is a lack of intergovernmental trust, especially in the North, and a lack of legitimacy in the eyes of the population, especially in the South. /3
I've often heard the claim: Italians are wealthier than Germans or Austrians; they should pay for their investments!
But Italians are not wealthier than Germans or Austrians: the median Italian household holds more net wealth, but the average household is less wealthy. #CAIN

In Germany and Austria, wealth is more heavily concentrated in richer households than in Italy. Private-property ownership plays a greater role in Italy. The public safety net, however, is less generous; social and co-operative housing is rare. /2
Social housing and co-operatives do not however count as private assets, even if people there live occasionally more comfortably than in Italian condominiums of poor standard. But it remains wrong to say that Italians are wealthier than Germans or Austrians. /end
I receive pushback by mainstream voices in Italy: "Don't say that 🇮🇹 pushed for large fiscal consolidation already! Don't say that there were labour market deregulation measures, which have not worked magic. It's too radical!"

#CAIN
The monopoly for criticising economic policy should not be in the hands of radical voices. I think one of the reasons why we are where we are is that the "mainstream" has for too long remained silent and fallen in line with the fiscal consolidation/structural reforms mantra. /2
I think we should be honest and say: running large primary surpluses over 30 years has had serious economic and political side effects. We should not just say: let's double down and push even more after the COVID19 crisis. It will not work. /3

This thread presents data that strongly reject claims that 🇮🇹's problem has been a lack of fiscal discipline.
Italy is the pre-Corona world champion of fiscal consolidation - with problems for investment, growth and debt sustainability /1

Many claim that Italy just didn't do enough fiscal consolidation to fix its public finances. In fact, fiscal consolidation in Italy was far more sizeable than in any other advanced country (from early 1990s up to financial crisis) - according to IMF data. /2

I am today launching a small twitter initiative, the Campaign Against Nonsense about Italy (#CANI). I’ll be tweeting data and arguments for countering myths about Italy’s state and economy. In this thread, I’ll explain why I think this is necessary /1
The way journalists, politicians and economists write and talk about Italy and Southern Europe is often distorted – especially in the “frugal” public sphere. Italy is not the basket case of the popular narrative. The way we speak about stuff matters a lot for policy debates. /2
This was apparent in earlier stages of the COVID crisis, when “frugal” leaders used distorted pictures of Southern Europe to size down the grants in the EU recovery fund. If only Italy were willing to reform along "frugal" lines, things would be splendid! /3

It can be argued that Cain, which drew on the recent discovery of "the bones of enormous & unknown animals" - one of which, in 1824 (the year of Byron's death), would formally be named 'Megalosaurus'' - is the first work of literature to feature dinosaurs.
Lucifer takes Cain into Hades, & shows him the ghosts of vanished worlds.
Cain: ’Tis like another world; a liquid sun –
And those inordinate creatures sporting o’er
Its shining surface?
Lucifer: Are its inhabitants,
The past Leviathans.

"What are these mighty phantoms which I see
Floating around me? – They wear not the form
Of the Intelligences I have seen
Round our regretted and unentered Eden."
Cain asks this question before either Megalosaurus or Iguanodon had been formally named...
