California is in the process of splitting the state. We are very far into this process. We are working with Congress to make this happen sooner rather than later. The new state will be called New California State. The 51st state of the United States. It will take up 90% of the land and 50% of the population. It’s rural v. urban. Old California will be SF, LA, Sacramento, Silicon Valley & 40 miles of the coast. Why do I bring this up? Our VP & Financial Advisor agrees with you completely & has said for the last few weeks that Jerome Powell has made decisions recently that prove that he is a patriot & that he has Americas best interests at heart. Whether he’s working with Trump he has not said, but I think from everything that I’ve read you are spot on. He has said that this recession/depression will hurt the wealthy & benefit the average American. America will come out of this a much better country.

Another insightful analysis, Erik! I have thought for quite a while that the DS was having too rough a time to be in full control of things. You can almost hear Trump saing "Watch the money - that will show you the signs".

Please see Tom Luongo's ambitious macro thesis on Fed vs Davos. He has been tilling this ground for some time now.

Coherent and brilliant. If true, the good guys are in some key positions of power. As bad as the situation is, our country is still here. Organizations and people that lack integrity are imploding, but those with integrity are thriving. Perhaps this is a side effect of the Great Awakening.

I learned so much from this well written and thought out article. It was thorough and helped me understand how the financial systems work as I never quite understood it before.

I can see now that you have made it clear that it does seem that Trump's people are still in control, and that makes me so hopeful and less anxious...thanks Eric!

You missed some of Trump's EO's regarding Short Sellers and China. This is really hurting Ken Griffin of Citadel, a huge Desantis supporter. He was hiding synthetic shares in FTX tokens. Once FTX went down, the Deep State suddenly stared having a lot of banking problems. They have heavily shorted what are known as meme stocks and are now stuck in their positions... the retail investors buying shares aren't selling because they know this. The brokers and SEC are helping the Short Sellers hide the real prices of the shares because they're so heavily oversold that the shares should be worth THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS if they're forced to pay for the shares they've borrowed. Rather than pay (and go out of business), they keep digging a bigger hole and borrowing more shares for shorting. Sooner or later the game is up and the entire economy goes down because of the debt they've accrued.

Excellent article, Erik, and extremely plausible! You’ve once again made it obvious that actions speak MUCH louder than words. Watching the action surrounding the 3 city-states tells a completely different story vs all of the narratives coming from them. You are indeed gifted for this war! God bless you.🙏

Spot on, Erik! You nailed it!

Martin Armstrong & Tom Luongo have similar viewpoints but more sanguine end points.

I hope YOU have the correct dynamic, though I'm shy about contradicting Socrates!

Upon reflection, Armstrong's Socrates says the US as presently constituted will end by 2034 at the latest.

Well, if the presently constituted US is the pitiful giant being driven by the 3 Cities, would not the destruction of the 3 Cities, free and re-empower that giant, and constitute a new beginning?

THAT would square the circle and eliminate the crosscurrents at the end!

You are right on target! You are crazy as a genius. Thanks for the good write-up. I always enjoy reading all you have done and learned much. I was in VietFrigginNam, they told us to fight the spread of communism. Yet, Ho Chi Mien liked Thomas Jefferson and his writing as do I. The CIA arranged everything to fight against the N Vietnam. Why? The great reset is the only explanation their is. It took me 50 plus years since 1968 to find out the real reason we were there. We needed a war. We need a war now and explains why Uncle Joe and all the lefties want to mix it with China and Russia. They are getting so desperate for a reset. They will mix it with any country that raises their heads above the trenches. I have been chasing electronic digital bits as an Engineer for along time. Looks like I wasted my time and should have studied Macro and Micro Finance Systems instead. Sincerely, thank you.

I believe your analysis is quite accurate.

I pray "Devolution" is real.

Before the 16th Century the Vatican was evil and after the Gutenberg Press things supposedly got better ..the Bank of England was ALWAYS evil and remains so, just like the entire Rothschild family since the days of Waterloo...the Federal Reserve is nothing more than an evil lackey, just like the two previous (private) U.S. central banks.

When the military tribunals begin, I will know my prayers have been answered.

Thank you for another great read!!

THANK YOU for this article! I have assumed Powell is a Patriot/White Hat since I started reading Tom Luongo's (who other commenters have mentioned) analysis about the Fed destroying the Eurodollars--and, hence, the Deep State--but great to find someone who has done the in-depth analysis.

The basic point is, you have to consider who is running an organization and what their actions are as opposed to just saying its an evil cabal. That is key. There is lot going on right now and not everyone in the Gov agrees with what is happening.
