Game Over, They’re Pulling the Plug [Video]

Bill HolterGreg Hunter – Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter said in early April that he thought we did not have much time until the financial meltdown started.  He gave it 60 days.  Two months later, the meltdown started in earnest right on time.

The world is at debt levels never seen before, and Holter contends rising interest rates are the key driver here and now.  Holter explains, “Interest rates are the key to the whole collapse.  Mortgage rates, as of right now, are about 6.15%.  Mortgage rates started the year just over 3%.

Cycles Of A Nation Called America

[Note: This is article 3 of a four part series. You can read part 1 here, part 2 here. The original article explaining the differences between Actives and Passives is here.]

Marilyn MacGruder Barnewall  – Though the 1760 – 1810 cycle was definitely Active driven (Passives start wars, but prefer them to be on foreign soil and that those other than themselves fight in them), the attraction of power to political office already made itself felt through the influence of Alexander Hamilton.

Hamilton was the one who recommended the first central bank (The Bank of the United States). He said the money needed to start the bank would come from the sale of $10 million in stock. The United States government would purchase the first $2 million in shares and the other $8 million would be available to the public as an investment in their new nation – and those abroad (like the Rothschilds) – could invest too.

Transformation of the Global Monetary Central Banking System, R.I.P.

goldJohn Michael Chambers – The global financial reset is unfolding according to plan. You won’t hear much about this on the financial news (just yet), so let’s connect the dots on but a few occurrences leading up to what may prove to be perhaps one of the biggest stories of the century as the transformation of the global monetary central banking fiat system is coming to an end, R.I.P. Actually rather than rest in peace, shall we say, R.I.H. (rest in heat)?

Connect the Dots

There have been many random events occurring now for quite some time as it relates to the global financial reset. For starters, Russia has sold off nearly all of its US treasuries. This  is very telling. What is even more telling about this event is what they did with the proceeds. They invested mainly in gold and some other currencies. China, once the largest purchaser of the US treasury notes has also been liquidating US treasuries over a period of some years. Today, the largest purchaser of the US treasury is the Federal Reserve. Continue reading

Massive Secret Money Printing Will Shoot Gold Higher [Video]

kirbyGreg Hunter – Macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby says $21 trillion in “missing money,” discovered in late 2017, is now a “national security” issue but is not a secret to the leaders of the rest of the world. Kirby explains, “The national governments around the world have become all too aware of the shenanigans that have gone on and the poor stewardship that has been illustrated by the keepers of the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency.

This is what is at the root of all of our international economic tension. This is what is really at the root of the difficulties and differences between the American regime, the Chinese regime and the Russian regime. These people are aware of what has transpired, and they are not going to tolerate what’s been done in the name of keeping the U.S. dollar propped up as the world’s reserve currency and the criminality that’s been involved in doing so.”

Is the Fed Finally Being Forced to Consider Main Street?

ratesCharles Hugh Smith – If there is anything about Federal Reserve policy that is now widely accepted as self-evident, it is that Fed policies have further enriched the super-rich and vastly widened wealth inequality. That this is now mainstream is remarkable, for it completely blows apart the Fed’s PR claims to be “serving the people” by boosting inflation and making it easy for the super-wealthy to borrow unlimited sums of new money at near-zero rates.

As I noted in The Federal Reserve, Interest Rates and Triffin’s Paradox (link), there is no way Fed policy can be win-win-win for all participants. As I explained in Why the Fed Has to Raise Rates (link) the Fed’s unspoken Prime Directive is maintaining U.S. and dollar hegemony, and this requires a strong dollar, which pressures exports and Corporate America’s global sales and profits.

You can’t it both ways: you can’t weaken your currency to boost exports and retain a global reserve currency.

But the Fed is also in another lose-lose conflict: the public-relations fight for its political legitimacy. Though it generated very little news flow, you can be sure Fed insiders saw the writing on the wall when the House of Representatives approved a measure to audit the Fed–in essence, a move to bring the Fed to heel.

House passes bill to overhaul the Fed

If the Fed continues to enrich the super-rich at the expense of the rest of us, there will be political consequences. Continue reading
