Thanks for writing this! Understandable, concise, great examples. I for one believe Trump does have an invisible hand in this...

“Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.”

Wouldn’t a perfect financial MIL OP mimic a storm? One that subdued every Sector yet every participant involved had no one to blame? After all, it was just a passing storm.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting”…(nor declaring war on your enemy, yet fighting and winning just the same)

Thank you for another great essay. I would love to read your thoughts on how 1/2 the world’s economy is no longer using the petro dollar and selling their usd but the dollar has been stable. As someone with a deep understanding of macroeconomics i find this quite impossible. Cheers!

Great article ! I have long been an advocate to abolish the Fed; the very root of all evil in this country, likely the world. Highly recommend "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin...a true Red Pill.

We need to go back to a gold-backed dollar, before the BRICS fall on our heads.....and I pray Devolution is real.

Good luck. I've been trying to explain it to people for over 25 years. It's going to take a collapse. I'm not black pilled, I'm optimistic and looking forward to it.

Excellent article, except one point of disagreement. Academia has been totally, and irrevocably, corrupted. NO one should allow their children to be lost to that distopia. Home school, teach them to self learn. Introduce them to libraries and books that have not been re-written recently, including the Bible!

Very well written article which sums up "The Art Of the Deal" based upon "The Art of War" by the master 5 level chess player who still has a hand in things.

We are already in a Depression, running on printed money. Raising the Debt Ceiling is not viable, just gives him an excuse to spend more. 4 more yrs of Biden's unchecked spending we will be like Venezuela. The Biden Great Depression https://gailhonadle.substack.com/p/the-biden-great-depression

I may not write on your level but I do understand it. Prices go up under Democrats' spending. Or weak Rinos. Covid had BILLIONS in fraud. Medicare already had $65 Billion in Fraud yearly.

This just showed up Hundreds more tech and biotech layoffs jolt the Bay Area job market

On top of the high crime area, Walmarts are closing. Our Krogers just installed 2 more of the self-checkout lanes, which I refuse to use.

DSSI is not functioning people are waiting 6 or more months for a case worker. Meanwhile wracking up $50K in hospital bills with no jobs, no savings, and no income. While he gives the illegals free medical care, who rob many Walmarts daily. In a small town of 15K that is a major blow. They destroyed one after they stripped it.

Are you familiar with Tom Luongo? He has an explanation for the actions of the FED that is better than 'the invisible hand of Trump.' Simply put: the FED is at war with DAVOS.

As you surely know, DAVOS is fundamentally Marxist in orientation, and among other things, they are pushing for the end of commercial banking. They have used the zero interest rates of the past decade+ to lever up the Eurodollar and buy seats in government and influence on corporations through their favorite hedge fund, Blackrock.

The FED was in their camp when it was run by Marxist academics like Bernanke and Yellen, but now that it is being run by someone who is very close to Wall Street, it is only natural that it would oppose those who seek to destroy private capital generation.

Luongo has been correctly predicting most of the FED's moves ever since they announced the SOFR transition a couple years ago. Still, he's the first to say This doesn't make the FED our friends, but The enemy of my enemy...

Perhaps Powell is a patriot. Certainly, there is no profit for Wall Street if the dollar goes belly up under the pressure of de-dollarization. The interest rate hikes are positioning the US economy to have a better chance of weathering that storm while simultaneously contributing to the destruction of the DAVOS Eurodollar exploit and their crypto/shadow banking allies such as FTX and SVB.

Fascinating post!

I'm praying this transition goes smoothly and occurs soon, as some of us are precariously close to utter ruin.
