When
someone is right over and over and over, eventually people start paying
attention. Personally, I have learned to tune out the “forecasts” of most “economic experts” out there. As an
attorney, I was trained to be skeptical, and I have found that most forecasts
about what the financial markets are going to do are not worth the paper they
are printed on. However, once in a while something comes along that
really gets my attention. Over the past few days, I have seen a number of
references to the remarkable forecasts of Bo Polny of Gold 2020 Forecast. In recent months he
has correctly predicted that U.S. stocks would begin to drop in July, that
there would be a huge plunge in August and that that the month of September
would be rather uneventful. Now he is saying that he expects “November to be a complete
meltdown on the U.S. and world markets”. Just because he has been right in the past
does not guarantee that he will be correct this time around, but lots of people
(like me) are starting to pay attention. (Read More....)
When it comes to “prepping”, many among the elite
take things to an entirely different level. As you will see below, the
elite are willing to pay big money for cutting edge home security measures,
luxury bomb shelters and superyacht getaway submarines. Some of the things that
the elite are demanding for their own protection go beyond even what we would
see in a James Bond film, and serving the prepping needs of the elite has
become a multi-billion dollar business. Meanwhile, the media outlets that
the elite own continue to mock the rest of us for getting prepared. All
the time we see headlines like this one that appeared in a major American news
source: “Preppers:
Meet the paranoid Americans awaiting the apocalypse“. Well, if we are
paranoid for setting aside some extra food and supplies for the future, what
does that make the people that you will read about in this article? (Read More....)
Millions
of Americans were gearing up for some huge event to happen in September, but
the world didn’t end and now many of them have given up entirely on
prepping. Of course the truth is that some absolutely earth-shattering
events did take place last month, but because
September did not play out exactly as some were anticipating, a lot of people
feel very let down. My contacts in the emergency food industry tell me
that sales have dropped off dramatically, and yesterday I was told by someone
that I trust that the same is true for those that sell precious metals.
But this should not be happening. What we witnessed in August and
September was just the warm up act, and all of the numbers are absolutely
screaming at us that we are right on track for a major global crisis. In
this article I am going to focus on economic and financial issues, but there
are so many other things going on around the planet right now that threaten to throw
our world into turmoil. Anyone that thinks that it is safe to “relax” now is simply not paying
attention. The following are 20 reasons why all the people that quit
prepping after September are dead wrong… (Read More....)
When
the global economy is doing well, the amount of stuff that is imported and
exported around the world goes up, and when the global economy is in recession,
the amount of stuff that is imported and exported around the world goes
down. It is just basic economics. Governments around the world have
become very adept at manipulating other measures of economic activity such as
GDP, but the trade numbers are more difficult to fudge. Today, China
accounts for more global trade than anyone else on the entire planet, and we
have just learned that Chinese exports and Chinese imports are
both collapsing right now. But this is just part of a
larger trend. As I discussed the other day, British banking giant HSBC has
reported that total global trade is down 8.4 percent so far in 2015, and global
GDP expressed in U.S. dollars is down 3.4 percent. The only other times
global trade has plummeted this much has been during other global recessions,
and it appears that this new downturn is only just beginning. (Read More....)
The
global elite have never been closer to their goal of a united world.
Thanks to a series of interlocking treaties and international agreements, the
governance of this planet is increasingly becoming globalized and centralized,
but most people don’t seem alarmed by this at all. In the past 30
days, we have seen some of the biggest steps toward a one world government, a
one world economy and a one world religion that we have ever witnessed, but
these events have sparked very little public discussion or debate. So
please share this article with as many people as you can. We need to wake
people up about this before it is too late. (Read More....)
Warren
Buffett once referred to derivatives as “financial weapons of mass
destruction“, and it was inevitable that they would begin to
wreak havoc on our financial system at some point. While things may seem
somewhat calm on Wall Street at the moment, the truth is that a great deal of
trouble is bubbling just under the surface. As you will see below, something
happened in mid-September that required an unprecedented 405 billion dollar
surge of Treasury collateral into the repo market. I know – that sounds very
complicated, so I will try to break it down more simply for you. It
appears that some very large institutions have started to get into a
significant amount of trouble because of all the reckless betting that they
have been doing. This is something that I have warned would happen over and over again. In fact, I have
written about it so much that my regular readers are probably sick of hearing
about it. But this is what is going to cause the meltdown of our
financial system. (Read More....)
The
biggest bank in the western world has just come out and declared that the
global economy is “already in a recession”. According to
British banking giant HSBC, global trade is down 8.4 percent so far this year, and
global GDP expressed in U.S. dollars is down 3.4 percent. So those
that are waiting for the next worldwide economic recession to begin can stop
waiting. It is officially here. As you will see below,
money is fleeing emerging markets at a blistering pace, major global banks are
stuck with huge loans that will never be repaid, and it looks like a very
significant worldwide credit crunch has begun. Just a few days ago, I
explained that the IMF, the UN, the BIS And Citibank were all warning that a major economic
crisis could be imminent. They aren’t just making this stuff
up out of thin air, but most Americans still seem to believe that everything is
going to be just fine. The level of blind faith in the system that most
people are demonstrating right now is absolutely astounding. (Read More....)
