Just as with WW2 profiteers long ago, the new conflict had exalted
a new class of war profiteers that profit from COVID-19 measures,
Russian-Ukrainian war crisis and introduction of Euro confusion.

The prophet Micah of the Israelites spoke:
Micah 6
9 The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city,
and the man of wisdom shall see thy name:
hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances,
and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence,
and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee,
in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied;
and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee;
and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver;
and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap;
thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil;
and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

Just like the poor are stricken by inflation and retired persons
die in debt and in bondage of dead souls to the banks and
creditors, those with dishonest gain up to third and fourth generation
should be buried with them as a witness to them on the Judgment
Day, just as pharaohs.

As James said:

James 5
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.
Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
Amen

P.S.

There is no excuse nor justification for the increase in consumer prices
of goods and services, as the governments have subsidised energy prices
and labour cost hath only decreased since the wages stayed the same and
there were extensive layoffs (especially in software industry and computer
high tech labour).

Thereof the generator of inflation that could bring the mankind to disaster
and new world conflict is pure greed, dishonest profit and gain, and dishonest
trade with diverse weights, as the prophet says:

Amos 8
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?
And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat,
Making the ephah small [small packages], and the shekel [price] great,
And falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
Yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob,
Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this,
And every one mourn that dwelleth therein?
And it shall rise up wholly as a flood;
And it shall be cast out and drowned,
As by the flood of Egypt.

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
Amen

When the prices of energy and raw materials arose during the initial
Russian-Ukrainian war, blockade of Ukrainian exports and the sanctions on Russia,
the merchants did not decrease them as the prices of energy and raw materials
were subsidised or fell on free market.

As the constituents of final price: labour, raw materials and energy have returned
to the initial stage or fell (due to labour, subsidies, and tax cuts), the merchants
were left with pure unjust profit.

Additionally, interest rates arose as if to prevent or combat inflation, and mass
layoffs, but these do not solve problem, as the problem is in dishonest trade and
the expectations of banks and creditors with high interest rates of usury that
the working class will continue consumption of things they not need with the
money they don't have for higher prices and under consumer loans that lead them
deeper into debt slavery.

Thereof layoffs will not substantially decrease inflation if those would not affect
masses like 30% to 50% of population.

It would be favourable if the Islamic creditors would refinance debt of those in
debt slavery with Islamic loans, for those who do not find such fiscal intervention
offensive or contradictory to their beliefs, to the glory of the LORD God Creator,
God of Abraham, who hates usury, debts slavery and bondage to debt.

Probably especially keeping dead souls in bondage to debt, especially of Muslims,
which is haram (evil sin).

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
Amen
