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!

😂Yeah, when things don’t make any logical sense, you know something is going on behind the scenes.

Interesting how the Petro Dollar was a creation of the FED/CB/Cabal to stabilize the US dollar by backing it with a commodity ie “liquid gold.” Our country is the Central Bankers’ biggest asset because of the US Military Industrial Complex (Pentagon, DOD, CIA, etc) which these hegemonists need to fight their global wars. The dollar was stabilized using the OPEC monopoly to artificially control the price of oil. Then the USSR collapsed…and Russia has huge oil reserves…so does Canada….and Venezuela…and the United States. The Petro Dollar can no longer be controlled because of free market competition. So the Euro Dollar is rolled out. The USA must be kept on life support for a little longer so the global hegemonists can achieve their NWO dominance. [Their] greatest fear is Americans waking up!

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.

I agree with one caveat, I think the brick nations are working with Trump to take down the cabal banking system. Who did Trump visit with in 2017 on his world tour?

I definitely believe the BRICS want to do away with the present central bank system, but there is this looming nightmare of a digital currency....I understand some Dollar General stores are already "no cash". With Saudi Arabia now abandoning the Petro-dollar, the slower we move back to a gold-backed currency, the more us "commoners" will suffer, which I also believe is the intentions of the "royals".

The suffering really has not hit yet. 11% annual inflation is no fun, but it was close to 20% ca. 1981 IIRC...

When it hits 100% a day like it did in Weimar Germany, then we can say we're suffering.

I saw G. Edward Griffin in an interview last week. He’s 92! He’s an amazing man. “More Deadly Than War” is a classic, as well as his interview with Yuri Bezmenov.

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!

Simple solution: stop giving the 'universities' government money, and make them co-signers on every student loan. If the student defaults, the university they spent that cash on pays for what turned out to be a useless 'education.'

That would force a results-oriented approach which would greatly benefit the country and world. Of course they would scream like stuck pigs (RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!) -- ignore them, and wait for the tantrum to stop.

Tuition would drop overnight, they would get rid of all those useless paper-pushing 'administrators' like all the DEI/ESG idiots, and there would be a return to normalcy. As in back when e.g. a Stanford law degree actually meant something valuable, rather than being equivalent to a degree in community organizing.

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.

Isn’t it crazy they allow looting in Walmarts, and it’s got to the point where it’s now unsafe to work there so they have to close the stores. The same thing happened with Starbucks and bathrooms. Progressive policies always end in disaster.

It's not crazy when you understand what [they] are doing. They don't want us proles to be able to buy the things Walmart sells. This after they used C19 to shut down most of the local stores...

It is all part of the collapse. [They] want one, and we want (or perhaps I should say, need) one; the difference is what to do with it. They: want total control over everyone under a social credit digital currency system. We: want a return to pre-1913 America and an equivalent system elsewhere, where [their] timing has been different.

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.

I agree the Fed is at war with Davos, but who is controlling the Fed? Certainly the big wall streets banks aren’t prospering by the Feds actions. But maybe they are willing to suffer to rid themselves of Davos control.

Expand full comment

Prospering is usually the important metric, of course. But this is an existential conflict for the FED.

If DAVOS/Biden/Yellen win the war, Wall Street loses their shirt and their power while the rest of us get thrown into 15-minute urban panopticons, shackled by CBDCs and tethered to the UBI teat.
