Human nature doesn't change. The problems repeat.
BIBOH is coming...for Election Fraudsters
Last line of his remarks says it ALL; Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness./
So sad, so Very very sad
Last line says it all...
TELLING THE SAD TRUTH – NEVER SAID BETTER
Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville , Florida , when he said America will not come back. He wrote:
* “The American dream ended " The first term of Joe Biden has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.
A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood , uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed that do not want to work , illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended......... Norman Rockwell's America.
You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.
People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.
The Cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order.
The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told.
Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness..”
INEPTOCRACY - DEFINITION
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the
least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing,
and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or
succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the
confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

US Treasury deputy sec warns unvaccinated Americans that shortages will continue until EVERYONE is jabbed | 15 Oct 2021 | The deputy secretary at the US Treasury has put Americans on notice that the only way to end the plague of empty shelves around the country is for every resident to be vaccinated. The frank warning came off as a threat to many. Wally Adeyemo, the Biden regime's second-highest official in the Treasury Department, appeared to publicly blackmail the still-sizable portion of Americans who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 during a Thursday ABC interview, seemingly blaming them for the ongoing shortages of consumer goods that have led many to mock the president as "Empty Shelves Joe." Despite viral photos depicting thousands of cargo ships lined up at the Port of Los Angeles ready to unload their goods, Adeyemo claimed that the supply chain issues plaguing so many US retailers are an international issue and will only let up when a sufficient percentage of the country has been vaccinated.

For the facilitation of globalization, capital transfer was made universal and, instantaneous. This so-called "liquidity" can move at light speed. This liquidity took on a life of it's own. It had a self-created reproductive system that allowed debt (disguised as liquidity) to grow INDEPENDENT of wealth. The golden governor was removed to allow the non-producers to enjoy great wealth without actually creating any themselves.. Since the State is the greatest parasite, it wasn't going to curtail faux wealth creation.
Regulatory-capture ensures that this duo of parasites would inflate the "money" supply.
The banks did this to charge interest for loaning money that they did not possess.
The State did this to support itself without actually producing anything.
As usual, the 2 got carried away with plundering. Debt is now about 300% of GDP. 80% is the practical limit for survival.
Liquidity creation went into hyperdrive. Interest rates went to zero or negative.
These 2 factors are the ONLY thing that support the debt bubble.
ZIRP is killing all investment schemes like pension funds.
At the same time, ZIRP is the only thing that allows debt to grow.
The longer that this goes on, the more destructive the unwind will be.
Hard to say just what will set it off.
Too many people measure wealth strictly by the yardstick of money and possessions. They are in for a rude surprise hwhen the yardstick tuns to smoke.
https://dailyreckoning.com/some-ques...ericas-wealth/
Since liquidity can vanish in an instant, movements in the world supply of liquidity affect everybody.
Notes on China;
So now there is a property crisis in China that is making the US mortgage crisis of 2008 look like child’s play in terms of magnitude.
Evergrande, has turned into a total fiasco. It has over $300 billion in known liabilities, plus, according to Goldman Sachs, $156 billion in off-balance sheet debt
China’s residential property market could be the largest in the world with a total asset value of $62 trillion, with a T, compared to $34 trillion for the US property market,
the property sector accounts for about 28% to 30% of GDP,
For years, when a province needed 6.5% economic growth because the central government said so, it cranked up the property sector. Building apartment towers just to increase GDP, whether anyone needs more apartments or not, and finance the whole thing with huge amounts of debt, is problematic,
Chinese property developers, such as Evergrande, all together have $5.2 trillion with a T in debt
For years, there was the assumption among foreign investors when they bought dollar junk-bonds that the government would bail them out when the big S hits the fan
But that assumption is now out the window
The side effect of this one-child policy is that the working age population began to shrink in 2012, and has continued to shrink. This means that household formation is shrinking, which means that demand for apartments to actually live in is shrinking
In 2019, sales of new homes accounted for over three-quarters of total home sales in China, compared to just about 12% in the US
Homeownership is already over 90% for urban households in China, among the highest in the world.
So 1.6 million acres of floor space under construction, at 646 square feet per apartment on average, would mean that there are 108 million apartments under construction.
Let that sink in for a moment: 108 million apartments under construction, when urban homeownership is already 90% and when the working-age population has been declining for nearly a decade.
Total sales among China’s 100 largest property developers plunged by 36% in September from a year earlier, according the Wall Street Journal. Sales by the 10 biggest developers, including Evergrande, collapsed by 44%.
Given how crucial property is to household wealth, a widespread decline in property prices is going to be a gigantic mess. Once apartment prices start declining, they’re no longer perceived as an attractive investment property, and buyers vanish, and prices drop further and sales stall.
But it (GOV) also controlled economic growth by specifying how much growth it wanted, and provinces and cities complied by producing this growth through property investments, construction projects, and the like. But it is this growth model that has led to the current debt-fueled fiasco.
https://wolfstreet.com/2021/10/22/ch...rowth-blew-up/
China is undergoing a power struggle between 2 factions. If they fight to the death, China will completely melt down.
This will be disastrous for global liquidity.

Jim Rickards;
In my 2011 book, Currency Wars, I gave a detailed description of the first-ever financial war game sponsored by the Department of Defense. This financial war game took place in 2009 at the top-secret Applied Physics Laboratory located about twenty miles north of Washington, D.C., in the Maryland countryside.
Unlike typical war games, the “rules of engagement” for this financial exercise did not permit the use of any kinetic weapons such as bombs, missiles or drones. The only weapons allowed were financial instruments including stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and derivatives.
The game was played out over two days in the main War Room of the laboratory using six teams divided into the U.S., China, Russia, Europe, East Asia, and Banks & Hedge Funds. The contestants included about 40 players on the six teams and another 60 participants including: uniformed military, civilian defense officials, observers from the Treasury, Federal Reserve, CIA and other government agencies, think tanks, universities, and financial industry professionals.
In that original financial war game, a scenario involving Russia, China, gold and the destruction of the U.S. dollar was played out against a backdrop of geopolitical events, including the collapse of North Korea and a threatened Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
In May 2015, the Pentagon sponsored a new financial warfare session, which I was also invited to attend. This time the financial war took place inside a secure meeting facility at the Pentagon itself.
This new financial war game exercise was smaller and more focused than the one in 2009. We had about 20 participants. Our group included representatives from the diplomatic corps, military, think tanks, universities, CIA and the National Security Council. I was one of three individuals from the investment management community.
Our role was not to contemplate the use of aircraft carriers, submarines or missiles in such a confrontation. We were there to consider the use of financial weapons such as disruption of payments systems, cyber-attacks on banks and stock exchanges, and trade sanctions that could cut off supply chains and dry up energy imports.
I learned two lessons that day. The first is that when nations engage in financial warfare, individual investors can be collateral damage.
The most dangerous attacks of all are those in which the enemy penetrates a bank or stock exchange, not to disable it or steal information, but to turn it into an enemy drone. Such a market drone can be used by attackers for maximum market disruption and the mass destruction of Americans’ wealth, including stocks and savings.
If China tries to attack the U.S. by closing the New York Stock Exchange, it will be tens of millions of Americans who will suffer an immediate loss of wealth as prices plunge and accounts are locked-down or frozen.
The second lesson I learned was that future wars will be fought in cyberspace using digital technology applied to payments systems such as SWIFT, FedWire, MasterCard, Visa and Europe’s Target2 system.
Jim Rickards: 16 Intelligence Agencies Have Issued Alarm Report On US Dollar Reserve Status.
" James Rickards, best-selling author of “The Death of Money,” says a huge financial panic is a mathematical certainty. Rickards explains, “It is a mathematical certainty, but I can take it further . . . what you don’t hear is this will be exponentially larger than any financial panic in the past. .

All fiat currencies in history have failed. U.S. GOV knows this very well.
Traditionally, when a national currency failed, the State had a new currency ready to go.
They knocked off 3 zeros and, rebooted the system.
(Old number) 51% of Americans receive a check from GOV.
The State tried to grow without limitations. There is nothing more limiting than the gold standard.
Pox Americana would very much like to continue supporting it's military enough to continue ruling (thrashing) much of the world.
The reboot from a dollar collapse will impoverish America so much that it would have 2 choices;
North Korea style, with a big military and, the people starving
OR
The people surviving reasonably well but, a huge shrinkage of the military & State.
Pox Americana chose to keep going down the militaristic path.
This necessitates killing off as many of the non-producers as possible.
This necessitates locking down everybody who is left.
Covid 19 and, covid 20 (the disease from the syringe) were expected to kill off many millions.
The resulting covid passport was expected to physically & metaphorically lock down any & all resistance against the depredations of the State.
The Cleveland FED said that everybody will have an account at the FED and, the private banks will be gone.

You see the problem here: the risk of crashing and expiring is soaring but the giddy occupants are completely confident there's no risk, and this confidence is the source of the danger.
The irony is rich: the greater the confidence, the greater the risk, the greater the risk, the greater the odds of a crash. The greater the risks being taken, the greater the odds that the crash will be fatal to all occupants.

The Taper Tantrum Has Begun: Australia's 2Y Bond Just Blew Up After The Central Bank Unexpectedly Refused To Buy It
VaR shock coming to every yield curve near you.
THU OCT 28, AT 3:11 AM
The Bank for International Settlements coordinates the actions of member banks.
In this case, the Central Bank refused to buy State debt.
This is an indication that CBs around the world will follow.
Previously, when the CBs tightened, there was a general meltdown and, they were forced to back-pedal.
The State finances itself by selling bonds AND printing new currency.
When it prints new currency, it steals some of the value of existing currency
We pay the inflation tax.
When it sells bonds, we must pay the interest premium.
However, when the State inflates the currency supply, it causes price inflation.
This price inflation must be subtracted from the premium paid out on Treasury bonds.
Bonds pay close to zero but, inflation is close to 11%.
The State finances itself at the expense of every other sector.
There is an across-the-board loss to every investment and, every interest-paying arrangement.
ZIRP chips away at every non-State person & entity.
The State is now proposing a billionaires tax. A simple admission that it has no intention of ever shrinking.
Additionally, the State plans to do away with paper currency so that it can more effectively steal the value of your savings.
https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft...15/wp15224.pdf
It will tax paper currency out of existence.
If the State plans to steal the value of your savings, what makes you think that it will allow you to use BTC or crypto coins to hide away savings?
GOV just came out with a BIG new regulatory structure for crypto.
If you can't exchange crypto for fiat, it has no real value.... other than barter. Somebody has to eventually do this exchange.
If you can exchange crypto for fiat, everything will be recorded.

Last month, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) announced it had developed a new asset class and accompanying listing vehicle meant “to preserve and restore the natural assets that ultimately underpin the ability for there to be life on Earth.”
These NACs will then maintain, manage and grow the natural assets they commodify, with the end goal of maximizing the aspects of that natural asset that are deemed by the company to be profitable.
Though described as acting like “any other entity” on the NYSE, it is alleged that NACs “will use the funds to help preserve a rainforest or undertake other conservation efforts, like changing a farm’s conventional agricultural production practices.”
Yet, as explained towards the end of this article, even the creators of NACs admit that the ultimate goal is to extract near-infinite profits from the natural processes they seek to quantify and then monetize.

History repeats all the time. With digital currencies, the next war may not be counterfeiting the paper currency of an opponent. This time, they will have to hack the banks and wipe out people’s savings to economically undermine their economy. This means that every bank will become a target to hackers, whereas traditionally in war you simply attack the currency of the sovereign."
Attack the banks,,, what a novel idea.

EXCELLENT article
"Nearly half that sum (44%) consisted of a reallocation of corporate equity to shareholders at the expense of worker compensation, while economic growth accounted for just 25% of that increase in wealth. In other words, despite the advent of seemingly near-miraculous, time- and space-saving digital technologies, the post-Cold War “economic boom” consisted mainly of America’s wealthy shareholders taking money from its increasingly insecure workforce."
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/n...ential-workers
"America, and other Western societies, had moved from a model of real growth and expanding benefits for all to a model where the rich got richer by impoverishing the less wealthy orders of society"
During the lockdown
"1 in 4 households experienced food insecurity, and 200,000 small businesses closed. The result was an estimated loss of $1.3 trillion in household wealth for American workers. Meanwhile, U.S. billionaires gained $1 trillion."
"COVID-19 era—an era that has seen the greatest upward wealth transfer in modern history. As a result of lockdowns, between 143 million and 163 million people worldwide have fallen into poverty and there was a sixfold increase in the number of people suffering through hunger and starvation. At the same time, tech companies like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft saw record profits."

In the crack-up boom, the central bank attempts to sustain the boom indefinitely without regard to consequences, such as inflation and asset price bubbles.
Once the central bank decides to accelerate the process of credit expansion and inflation in order to head off any recession risk, then it continually faces the same choice of either accelerating the process further or facing an even greater risk of recession as distortions build in the real economy.
Mises, "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. "
Several Central banks are moving towards cutting back on credit creation (tapering)
We could be seeing the voluntary abandonment of credit expansion. It is FAR too late for that now.
