In relation to wether the Fed is going to remain nudging the interest rates, I recently watched an interview of the French economist and ex-trader Olivier Delamarche saying the following at min 23:10 when asked about the consequences of the Ukraine crisis on the stock markets.

For those who don't speak French, here is a quick translation that I've made:

"...It's very simple, I don't know if you've seen it, the last FOMC report suggests that they are beginning to admit that it would be pertinent to start slowing down the interest rates rise. Well, slowing down the interest rates rise means that it is the last stage before they begin to lowering them. As I had told you before, when they would begin to admit that we are in a recession, as we are now, having high interest rates is complicated, so they are going to reverse course and bring the back down. I don't know wether is going to be this year or next, but there is going to be a drop, that's for sure. Now, as far as stocks are concerned, usually a recession means a 30% drop in the markets depending on the severity of the reception. If stocks start to fall to those levels the central banks will intervene, which means that the central banks will not only announce a drop int the interest rates but will also announce a new round of QE. Why? Because it will allow them to have bonds bought and have liquidity so support the marker, that's what they do. So, ideally, you should have a sharp drop in the markets followed by an intervention from the central banks to bring indices back up. Whether there will be new record highs I think it's possible. And after all that, I think that the market is finally going to realize that there is no plan B, that there is no going back to normal, that the central banks cannot stop QEs, and from that moment it will not be the stock market that will be destroyed, it will be the currency. A currency crisis is the worst of all crisis because it labels all assets. Therefore whether you have stocks, real estate, treasury, or anything that is labeled by currency, those assets will crash by definition. After all, stocks represent very little of what people have, you can perfectly live without owning any stocks, so what is going to destroy everything is the currency because it's complicated to not have any Euro at all if you are in France for example. You can't just walk into your bank and tell them you want a different currency... "

I apologize if I missed any technicality.

We're in the calm before the storm. Some predict a cyberattack or even a fake Alien Invasion to cover up the debt implosion. Others predict the dollar will collapse if the BRICS currency ends the petrodollar. Greg is the only financial guy I've seen so far who really gets what's going on. Everyone else just says "oh, the Fed is making a terrible mistake"- no it's all PLANNED.

Fed will pivot at some point after mid-term. No choice but return to mega QE. Autumn/winter data will give them justification. Inflation will continue to rise, and lockdowns (or similar) will also return as proven deflationary strategy (!). New variant/New virus + energy crisis will legitimise lockdown/house arrest. Summer's almost gone... (The Doors).

No amount of "compliance" to these dirt bags ever accomplished more freedom, but only the opposite. Do not comply.

"where will we be when summer's gone?"

Cost push/supply side inflation + demand destruction deflation = GAME OVER.

BTW rates have zero effect on supply inflation. Total theater. #endthefed

past is prologue, wisdom = to learn and grow from past mistakes - insanity = keep doing the same mistake over and over expecting different results, Kennedy warned - they didn't heed - who's to answer??

"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women--not merely peace in our time but peace for all time." JFK's commencement address, American University 6/10/63

I have always felt this way since the day I was BORN; that this was the right type of attitude and I have never wavered from it

I think that you couldn't be more succinct and clear. Thank you for this video. I just don't really know what to do about the information. Most people who I know don't even have a clue.

Thanks Again

I think that it matches pretty much what Greg's been seeing all along.

Hello Sir :) Gregory,

I heard you on Stansberry Research about a week ago, and I am so happy to have learned of your existence. Luckily for me, I have now found this website. I retired early 18 months ago, (thanks to a bit of luck with BTC) and am now dedicating my days to learning / studying economics. I find your information so helpful, and when I cross reference it with other educational sites, I can feel kind of confident in some of my predictions.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you very much for the time you put into helping working class people like me (well, lol, I guess i can say formerly working class...) Much appreciated!

The reason the FED is saying that there will be jobs lost is because they know when to stop funding the markets and basically pull the plug on America and the world holding dollars. Russia and China et al will fair better. Then they will bring out the UFOs and scare everyone to submission. I believe the USA military has a large fleet of them.

So the FED Pharisees and Sanhedrin are going to send Ponticus Pilate Powell out to do their dirty work! It’s the 2,030 year plan. From DEICIDE to Genocide. Eventually they will be picking off each other! The rats that they are.

Would love to have a look at the feds books which obviously will never happen. The only commodity that significantly lower is gasoline. If you look at the commodity prices all are making new highs except for gasoline. My guess is the Fed is selling it trying to get people to look somewhere else it’s complete deception. When the strategic oil reserves run out the game is up oil will be 140.
