You nailed it Greg. The issue is if the Central Banksters don't act immediately the credit market will lock up AKA no more cash at the ATM. No more credit card purchases. The Whole Economic System collapses.

Greg, you alone have enabled me to see the system with understanding. When these people draw out of the stock market they should have currency and would that not circulate?as in supply liquidity

Yes, and that is the situation we live during basically 52 weeks per year...

It will happen one day but Fed will intervene 100, 1000 or more times before it happen....

But one day is the D-Day - in one way interesting to be alive that day, as long as you have cash in the mattress....

Not a bad choice.

I know the crash will happen someday, but when people crying out Wolf I will just yawn...😆

I have a theory though - IF, I say IF the crash happens next week or so, it is only to play a game with us - i.e that would be that they will create the illusion and make people say "look the elite try as much as they can to sabotage for Trump" and that will fuel the pro-Trump movement even more and then he can basically get away with everything on the future which will ruin our freedoms...

The elite work as hard as they can to convince the conservative that Trump and Musk is the good guys...

My two cents😄

People have been crying wolf for years and never consider the price action in the Debt market. The story is in the debt market and all we can do is watch it like a hawk and move cash into risk assets. Its risk on brother. The Banksters are incharge. 😊

Yes I know. But EVEN folks who follow the debt market crying wolf. It is always cycles, there will always be days and weeks when Fed don't pump they system.

They, the insiders on Fed, sell private stocks, then they stop pumping the system, MMRI skyrockets for a week, and then they buy stocks and pump the system and they go up.

They can make how much profit they want because they have the tools.

Hence it has to be cycles...

I am not saying I have proof they do that, it is just obvious they do that to use the system...

If you KNOW they will pump the system on tuesday, wouldn't you bull this market on Monday???

Dead Congrrssmen tell no lies

United States Congressional Record on March 17, 1993, in Volume 33, on

Page H‐1303 , by Representative James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) speaking live

addressing the House.

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11. Members of Congress are

official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bank‐

rupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth

hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a

coroner's report that will lead to our demise.

It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has

been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1,

Public Law 89‐719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and

insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congressional session June 5, 1933 ‐ Joint

Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause

dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official

capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and

Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal

Government exists today in name only.

The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International

Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International

Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are

now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency

War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government

now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form

of government for the United States. This new form of government is

known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order

under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and estab‐

lished by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treas‐

ury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public

Law 94‐564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: "The U.S. Secretary

of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United

States."

Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of the

united states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only

gold or silver coins can be "money" in America. Since gold and silver coin‐

age were heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were

stored in banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. Peo‐

ple traded their coupons as money, or "currency." Currency is not money,

but a money substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dol‐

lar equivalent in gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make

no such promises, and are not "money." A Federal Reserve Note is a debt

obligation of the federal United States government, not "money?' The

federal United States government and the U.S. Congress were not and

have never been authorized by the Constitution for the united states of

America to issue currency of any kind, but only lawful money, ‐gold and

silver coin.  It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between

real money and paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumu‐

lating money substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the Peo‐

ple no longer have any "money." Most Americans have not been paid any

"money" for a very long time, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you

comprehend why you feel broke? Now, do you understand why you are

"bankrupt," along with the rest of the country?

Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closed

account. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt

through inflation (devaluation of currency). When ever there is an in‐

crease of the supply of a money substitute in the economy without a cor‐

responding increase in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.  

Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governments

inflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply

and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an

unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they

need. FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury se‐

curities (T‐Bills) ‐ a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.

There is a fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" a

debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold,

silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt.

You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a

debt with a currency that has no backing in value or substance. No con‐

tract in Common law is valid unless it involves an exchange of "good &

valuable consideration." Un‐payable debt transfers power and control to

the sovereign power structure that has no interest in money, law, equity

or justice because they have so much wealth already.  

The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles

of sovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact,

the international bankers used a "Canon Law Trust" as their model, add‐

ing stock and naming it a "Joint Stock Trust." The U.S. Congress had

passed a law making it illegal for any legal "person" to duplicate a "Joint

Stock Trust" in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post‐facto

(to 1870), although post‐facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitu‐

tion. [1:9:3]  The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure

separate and distinct from the federal United States government. The

Federal Reserve is a maritime lender, and/or maritime insurance under‐

writer to the federal United States operating exclusively under Admiralty/

Maritime law. The lender or underwriter bears the risks, and the Mari‐

time law compelling specific performance in paying the interest, or pre‐

miums are the same.

Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as a

security without taking possession of it) as security by the lender or

underwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on the

debt was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal Re‐

serve Act for ever paying the principle.  

Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free

and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913)

"Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, ‐in which the Trustees

(stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was

registered as a "beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In

1933, the federal United States hypothecated all of the present and fu‐

ture properties, assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amend‐

ment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System.

In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United

States corporation all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like any

other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collat‐

eral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the

federal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the private

property of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral against

the un‐payable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated fed‐

eral territories, national parks, forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit

organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been

transferred as payment to the international bankers.

Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre‐American Revolution, feudal

roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people

had no rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People

are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sov‐

ereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have ex‐

changed one master for another.  

This has been going on for over eighty years without the "informed

knowledge" of the American people, without a voice protesting loud.

enough. Now it's easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt.

Why don't more people own their properties outright? Why are 90% of

Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no assets after all

debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like you are work‐

ing harder and harder and getting less and less?

We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a

painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious

liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in

Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is

bankrupt. Our children will inherit this un‐payable debt, and the tyranny

to enforce paying it.

America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial

credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an

undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most

corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back your Country."

For the sake of the human race, they need to keep raising rates. Humanity has evolved too fast into the age of technology. In the next ten years, Artificial Intelligence and Tesla robots will take over every job, leaving no source of income for humanity. Raising rates will push the real economy into a depression (or far worse), but the aftermath will be one hundred times better than the current environment we are living in right now.

We don't get to choose where we are heading, but the two paths are putting a bandaid on the problem and dealing with it in the future where it will be exponentially worse off, or ripping the bandaid off now and letting it heal. I just want to get a job...i have been unemployed since 2022 because "kicking the can down the road" has destroyed the real labor market. Ripping the bandaid off now only means that society can get back on track faster because future projects for company's are put on hold. There are more pro's than con's.

They seem to be going for private USD stablecoins instead, which need to be backed by US treasuries, which will be regulated ofcourse. That’s ingeniously bad for everyone, since they will be able to kick the can down the road and continue their governmental spending frenzy as the world pumps it’s money into the crypto sector. At the end they will just pay of their debt ”with a little crypto”. That’s probably what they will use the Satoshi wallet (1M Bitcoin) for. And I think this is one of the reasons the BRICS are going for gold.

Everybody except regulated stablecoins, pension funds and central banks will sell their treasuries, if they can. The only way to keep the rates down seems to be to push for crypto.

What happens to treasuries when eveybody has bought in? How are they going to fund the government when there is no more buyers.

Will they drop the USD (or fiat all together) and default (or reset) on all the debt worldwide? Nobody would need fiat anymore.

The new world order can just extract a little fee on each transaction worldwide. Could that mean no more national taxes and a globalist powergrab without the need for national governments, or will each country apply their own fees. It would mean a completely different accounting system.

So, what’s the actionable intelligence in this? Suggestions?

I agree that it’s impossible to know what’s going to happen (and we do not have the required line of sight). The question is rather focused on how to prepare. I also agree that it’s important to stay nibble and not go all-in on anything right now. Maybe waiting and watching is all we can do at this point, apart from adhering to Greg’s subtle pointers. I just think there ought to be a plan involved, even though plans get revised. A field marshall is useless without a plan. A plan is needed, even if the plan is revised continuously, or there will be chaos. Then again, we’re all field marshalls of our own finances. However, sometimes the field marshalls get together, smoke cigars and drink some Cognac, to exchange ideas. 😉

Not everywhere! There are some states who wish to escape tyranny and those have passed laws forbidding CBDC's as being money!

Several states have taken action over the last two years in an effort to block the implementation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the United States.

Indiana was the first state to pass legislation relating to central bank digital currency. Enacted in 2023, the law explicitly excludes a CBDC from the definition of money under the state's Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The law amends the definition of money to specify, “The term does not include a central bank digital currency that is currently adopted, or that may be adopted, by the United States government, a foreign government, a foreign reserve, or a foreign sanctioned central bank.”

A similar law was enacted in Florida last year, and this year South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah followed suit. A Nebraska bill repealing the capital gains tax on gold and silver also changed the definition of money in the state tax code to exclude CBDC.

This year, Indiana took a second step to hinder the implementation of a CBDC with the enactment of a measure prohibiting state agencies from accepting payments made with a central bank digital currency for any service, tax, license, permit, fee, information, or other amount due the governmental body. It also bars government agencies from requiring payments to be made with a central bank digital currency.

Additionally, under the law, state government bodies are prohibited from advocating for or supporting the testing, adoption, or implementation of a central bank digital currency by the United States government.

Alabama, North Dakota, and Georgia have passed similar laws.

They don’t need to introduce CBDCs. Private stablecoins will be regulated in such a way that they are ”tethered” to the will of the state. The companies won’t have an option but to comply. The issue is the perceived integrity of privacy. Private stablecoins seem less invasive, but they will have to comply just like VISA and Mastercard have to when the state has a ”beef” with someone (i.e. the truckers).

The good thing is what could happen after the transition or towards the end. Either stablecoins become obsolete and get removed as countries default on their fiat debt, or the stablecoins get pegged to something else, like gold. I think the system needs some kind of peg to something tangible with intrinsic value. I think that’s why gold has been pushed up as tier one assets by the IMF, BIS and the World Bank. Don’t you? I mean without that peg the system is not attached to reality and could easily spinn out of control. Some people might say Bitcoin, but in my opinion it doesn’t really serve the purpose.

Yes this is the primary issue. Every Fed rate hike cycle has lead to a market crash. Even though 5% rates aren’t that high, it will still be enough to break the system, because the system is that precarious.

My rant for the day.

Precisely why a gold backed physical currency is badly needed. Until it occurs, everything is a scam, except for those running the scam.

Catch 20, a 1913 established debt based system.

Debt runs the system, but in the end, it's designed to leave your purchasing power constantly being diminished. Every succeeding generation has to work harder than the previous generation just to maintain the same lifestyle, until it all collapse.

If you try and save your money and don't spend it fast enough, your purchasing power quickly dwindles, and its your fault for not spending it. If you spend it, its your fault for spending it. Towards the end, even investing becomes futile. Millions or billions of dollars that have no real remaining value, except in peoples self delusional minds.

All your continuous blood, sweat, and tears continuously result in less and less wealth accumulation for all your efforts. A perfect example in futilism-current debt based slave system.

Thanks Greg for constant reminders of it all.

Its a no brainer; this all won't go on forever. Till then, have a nice day. For now its, another day, another dollar that has a penny in purchasing power, by design.

I'm going to enjoy a full breakfast while I still can.

Meanwhile, Central bankers will continue there games as they have, since 1913 to present times, creating endless more debt for the world, by simply clicking more and more digits into existence for free, until it makes no difference.

The way things look, it won't be much longer for the anticipated collapse. When the system collapses, bankers will have simply lost obscene amounts of trillions...in digits... created out of thin air in the first place. They'll actually lose zero, most will lose everything, by design. Enter a One World Digital Currency.

Enter another worse scam....'digital currency' not backed by anything of value either. Nothings changed; with the added exception, everyone will be completely controlled-actually far worse.

Meanwhile, to survive, buy gold and silver to maintain purchasing power.

Bartering, used in past time periods, for goods and services, will return as a norm.

What the world is experiencing, is what occurs to a civilization that use to be Christian and is actually now, in practice, demonstrated in everyday living: neopagans, atheists and virulent atheists, secularists, satanists, witches, far removed from God. A reflection of the current world at large. The result, we've all received likeminded leaders of all sorts, that make very harmful decisions for 98% of the world. Its a great deal for the elite .01% of the remaining 2%.

After the storm, a new beginning. A new springtime. Current incoming satanic elite psychopath NWO will be very short lived. Till then, it's going to get rougher for most people.

Repent, pray, fast, do penance and reparations. Place all your faith, hope and trust in God and don't worry. God's in charge.

God's reset to the Global Reset is simultaneously occurring. When the globalists believe they've achieved there goals, its all going to come crashing down in the blink of an eye, like a bolt of lightning. Globalists time is already running out of time. Stay tune.
