The last financial crisis happened in 2008 after Lehman Brothers collapsed on 15 September. Many commodities had already peaked in June of that year after quickly accelerating upwards. Many of those peaks represented 50 year highs.
Since the first lockdowns in 2020, a similar pattern has emerged. The situation in Ukraine is accelerating things even further and we are now nearing those 50 year highs again.
Natural gas levels are high but nowhere near the levels seen in 2008. Strange, seeing as Russia supplies so much gas to Europe.
Inflation is not going away as the forecasters forecasted (shock). If only there were some global events taking place on which to blame the looming financial crisis on (sarcasm).
Combined with these price pressures are supply pressures. Russia supplies 40% of Europe’s fertilizers and if we suddenly stop trading with them (or they stop supplying us - they have already paused supply), then growing food is not going to be so easy.
Is Russia about to go back on the gold standard? Is the dollar about to lose its world reserve currency status? Is a new digital currency going to rise from the ashes (If so, you lose 25 social credit points for reading this newsletter).
Below is a look at some worrying sharp rises in commodities.

The "vaccine not a vaccine" is just the latest way they are poisoning us. They are putting the "full court press" on us and most don't see it. Stop looking toward the midterm elections. Due process is gone and so is informed consent.
Encouraged? Not me. It shows a confident cynicism in that they believe they can say and do one thing for 2 years and then start parroting an opposite line, knowing that the public is stupid enough, just no memory, to go for it... yet again.
It is truly Groundhog Day. How many times have people said, "Just wait until we get the house and Senate back? How many times have we voted for the same people who always vote with the bankers and corporations?
Meanwhile our freedoms keep disappearing and our savings keep shrinking from taxation and inflation.
I so agree. Thought I was the only one who felt like/sees this. I will be tagged as a dissendent, and we won't even have the consolation of looking at each other in the camps and wondering...is this Andy, is this So and So from Substack. One shot/gone/liquified in those new deteriums....
Nothing is unconnected: so for 2 years the world was paralysed by a 'pandemic' and the great war strategist Putin was waiting with war patiently until the world recovers and then attack?! Sounds 100% believable to me... Said no one.
Maybe Putin was just waiting for Joe Biden to fuck up the U.S. economy and military enough. Biden's policies literally from day one weakened us in energy independence - but took a while to 'flower'.
Thank you KW. You’re right, it was a long read but a page turner. The depth of the rabbit hole, the planning, the extent of infiltration into the American judiciary, the detail is all breathtaking. Absolutely no good could ever come from this for anyone but the tiny fraction of elites at the pinnacle of this empire of dirt. This swamp ain’t going to be drained any time soon.
Where are we on Putin? On one hand history suggests he has been provoked into this by the broken promises of.the west re NATO expansion, Minsk agreements and Biden et al financiallly benefitting from UKR corruption etc etc. On the other hand if as people say, this is all part of a grand plan to crash the economy then are people saying he is party to that plan? I find it hard to believe that someone like Putin would prostrate himself on the world stage for such flagellation in order to bring about the NWO. I'm.inclined toward the theory of Putin finally going up against Davos in defence of his nation. But that means either Davos (by which I mean most or all western politicians, corporations etc) have either engineered this reaction from Russia by poking the bear once they had all their financial chess pieces in place or they genuinely had no idea he would go so rogue and are seizing on the opportunity: But that means he's caught them on the hop and surely it follows that they can't possibly know how this will pan out for them. And no one is mentioning China in all this - as if they aren't knee deep in this too. So many what ifs.....
Excellent. We better figure out how to reign in those who are supposed to work for us. It is all emotional warfare, including pushing us into physical warfare.
Yes, I have NEVER seen such rabid headlines on the newsstand as I have done over the past week, the newspapers are going full tilt to ramp up the hatred and manufacture consent for war, just waiting for a baby on a bayonet...
Just speculating here but let’s just what if this…
The last two years of quantitative easing and irresponsible spending have created an unprecedented combination of debt, lost productivity and inflation. Now an energy crisis and war are pushing the world’s economies over the edge. When real problems reach the doorsteps of ordinary people, like starvation and hypothermia, the people will be inclined to accept any otherwise unacceptable solution to their problems. Debts forgiven, inflation goes away because it’s a fiction in a single digital currency world where the owner of all central banks, the BIS, magics it away. Just accept this centrally controlled digital currency, we’ll even give you money to spend on anything you like*.
Meanwhile, the threat of a nuclear winter is being hyped by all the bad actors, the mainstream misleadia, Clintons etc. There are few scenarios less appealing than death in a fireball, except the alternatives available in a nuclear war. So any solution that brings a chance of peace, like for example a UN brokered deal whereby nation states no longer conflict with neighbours because the nation state ceases to exist. Instead of countries fighting over limited world resources and big players throwing their weight around, how about a single benevolent one world government that leads to harmony across the world.
There, just solved both the economic and nuclear war problems, you can thank me later.
Welcome to permanent servitude and oppression. If you live long enough after you’ve taken your shots.
Russia committed to WEF 4th industrial revolution near the end of 2021. https://www.weforum.org/press/2021/10/russia-joins-centre-for-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-network/ Putin is a WEF global leader disciple. Everyone is hoping the White Hats (someone) will safe our bacon. Regardless of who is warring whom -the truth is, all versions lead to the same end for us, but a somewhat different new power structure for them. None of this is for US.
Thanks for the link - I'm all about gaining my masters degree in geopolitical science having completed my emergency phd in virology and immunology lol!
More on this topic at two pieces I posted recently.
Putin may or may not be following the WEF script. He may playing along with the long-con, by pretending to resist, and sacrificing his country, to send the message to other potential rebellion-leaders in other countries not to even try it.
Putin recently tried to object, on behalf of Russia, against the WEF-planned expansion and strengthening of the 2005 International Health Regulations, through which World Health Organization has legally suspended all national constitutions and charters, effective with Tedros' Jan. 30, 2020 declaration that Covid-19 is a "public health emergency of international concern." PHEIC.
The Ukraine/NATO provocation is a smokescreen to sideline and make an example of Russia, as what will be done to any other nation-state, through the Bank of International Settlements and the UN, if they try to resist global trickle-down authoritarianism on behalf of their citizens.
More on the legal frameworks already in place and implemented for two years now.
Synopsis is, federal constitutions and charters have been suspended since Jan. 30, 2020, when Tedros declared Covid-19 a "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC)
PHEIC as a legal supercession of national sovereignty is ongoing, so constitutions and charters have not been reinstated yet. Biden affirmed, by extending the Covid-19 state of emergency in US on Feb. 18, 2022, with no expiration.
It's trickle-down authoritarianism, through funding mechanisms from top to bottom.
Bank of International Settlements controls money supply to private federal banks, so private federal banks don't fight back against BIS, or they lose their money supply.
Federal banks control money supply to federal governments, so federal governments don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
Federal governments control funding to states, hospitals, nursing homes, military, municipalities, corporations and universities (through contracts), state governments, health care workers, soldiers, local government leaders, corporate leaders, and university leaders don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
State governments, municipal governments, corporations and universities control funding to workers, K-12 schools and local health and human services programs. So workers, K-12 school boards and local health authorities don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
The first post is an account of the legal structures already in place, that make it so that acts of mass murder (hospital/nursing home protocols and 'vaccine' injections, formerly classified under international law, as crimes against humanity, are -- since 2005 International Health Regulations and implementing regulations adopted by US Health and Human Services and other nation-states' health ministries -- now classified as fully legal.
Those are now not just legal, but mandatory government acts, enforced by threatened and actual withholding of funding at every level from worker job loss at the bottom to federal bank loss of access to BIS for international financial transactions at the top.
Followup report, about the campaign playing out from Geneva World Health Organization headquarters, between now and May 2022, to expand and strengthen the legal force of the 2005 International Health Regulations, under cover of the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
But if he isn't going against Davos, really? Your "...have either engineered this reaction..." is my take. What if this is what they really want, the way to crash everything financial (once SWIFT action cuts off Russian debt service to the central banks and demands even more phony money be printed), clearing the way for the "Great Financial Reset"? (For this I can't recommend enough Mellisa Ciummei and Catherine Austin Fitts) What if Putin is so confident of his military vis a vis NATO (scarcely a whisper in ground forces compared to Russia's army), so certain of his ability to withstand any economic reprisals in the knowledge that this is what those WEF leaders want as well. And, despite the scripted squawking from the galleries, Putin is hardly prostrate on the world stage; no leader, and he is certainly a leader, exudes such assurance,... except for Xi. They know something.
I think they don't like it that Russia has marched to the beat of their own drum when it comes to globalist plans. And European globalists may really want to drag everyone into a large scale war with Russia so that in the end they are all-powerful. Which means that as horrible as it is, the world would probably be worse off if Russia lost. It's terrible that regular people from both countries pay the price for selfish powerful people to have what they want and the world goes along with it.
1.1 Give them someone to blame at home, and someone to hate abroad.
1.2 Profit.
Appendix to 1.0: make sure to enable cut-offs and break points for your underlings, the managerial and propaganda classes, to keep them loyal.
Appendix to 1.1: make sure the designated victim is a without recourse or power, and that they have been thorougly dehumanised first.
And do not forget to create and feed divisive ideas among the citizenry, interspersed with entertainment.
Repeat as necessary: since you are rich, it doesn't matter if you wreck the country you live in. You can always move somewhere else. As G. K. Chesterton put it in 'The Man who was Thursday':
"“You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists”
Guess why the rich are liberal cosmopolitians /and/ fascist corporativist totalitarians?
It gets them the best of all possible outcomes. And us the sh*t end of a stick we have to pay them to hold on to.
The recurring crises trace all the way back to the Panic of 1907, when criminal-minded oligarchs began demanding the creation of a central bank in the US -- so that bad risks could be undertaken privately, while spreading the pain around publicly.
The intention from the start (from 1913 going forward) was to privatize gains and to socialize losses.
And you'll find that two financial goons (Heinze & Morse) acted irrationally trying to corner a copper market and then, after losing their shirts in the process, their banks faced bank-runs, and then an associated trust (Knickerbocker Trust) faced the same fate, and then several trusts did.
The trusts were giving 24-hour loans out so that people could make risky bets in the stock market, but they did not require collateral and only held 5% in reserve.
It was a "good ole' boys' club" -- with a lot of risk and potential reward -- but no way to spread the risk around to others; until a central bank was created, preventing the insiders from ever having to "fail" again.
The appropriate fate for such Ponzi borrowers and financial schemers is financial ruin or hardship, but they found a way to continue acting irrationaly while making the rest of us pay the price for their behavior.
Many thanks! I have known about the FR and it's founding for a long time, but this looks promising.
Really, CONGRESS has the sole power to issue currency, in coin. But the problem is not monetary only, its primarily fiscal (spending). Its almost impossible to get politicians to STOP DEFICIT SPENDING.
The gold standard didn't keep FDR from overspending (hence, confiscating gold from citizens, AND cheating the citizen in value by raising the value by 70%, from $20.67 to $35, after he had taken all the gold.
We are in for a bad time, because banks are broke, there's no $$ in the FDIC, and the fed can't cover for the corruption forever.
Less than a year and three months ago, the US had very low inflation, little prospect of a financial crisis, and was producing more energy than it could use. Due to the new energy policy of the “Biden Administration”, this stopped, the US became dependent on Russia - and this made Putin’s invasion possible, because then he had leverage over the US - and a steady source of funds. Of course, this isn’t the first time in recent years that the US National Security State and Military Industrial Complex have funded and given material support to both sides in a foreign war - it was the case most recently with the al-Nusra Front, supported with US weapons from CIA - and the US Army was fighting them - and both sides were consuming huge amounts of what the Military Industrial Complex was supplying. Going farther back, to World War II, the MIC owned a plant which built Messerschmitt aircraft (General Motors) and trucks and tanks for the Wehrmacht (“German” Ford - Adolf Hitler had a life-sized portrait of Henry Ford in his office). And so this profiteering is nothing new. So right now, the same thing is going on - the US is bankrolling Russia - and then selling Javelin missiles and other armaments to Ukraine. Embargoing Russian oil and gas and producing our own - which can be done quickly - shut-in wells can be brought back on line, pipelines can be re-started - would cut off a serious source of funding. Yet the “Biden Administration” fails to do this, citing pretty much nonsense reasons, and in the meantime the Military Industrial Complex gets richer - perhaps when Lenin said that “the capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them with”, he was correct.
I'm not worried and well positioned to take advantage of this. Maybe not the timing of it, but otherwise easy to predict as resources are finite or in the case of biology, overharvested (overshooting carrying capacity). Its the eat drink and be merry crowd that ought to be worried, except that, they aren't. Lower dependence on this system, start now. Start by planting a garden.
Professor Fabio Vighi got it right. COVID was caused by the looming financial crisis, not the other way around. These engineered events only postpone the inevitable. The "solution" for 2008 disaster was to inflate assets prices. That is still their main "solution". We can easily anticipate the results of such remedies. At some point even fast cycled crisis stop working - they probably plan to pull the plug on this house of cards. It will be painful and they will probably suspend constitutional frameworks. We are about to find out what’s it like to live under iron heel rule.
Our Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, mo other "agreement" or declaration can supercede it. The purveyors of such may CLAIM that the WHO has the authority to do it, but it does NOT.
Constitution lives and dies by the population’s beliefs. Nothing can save the Constitution if the critical mass of people does not believe in the principles behind the Constitution. We have seen decades of erosion on that front. Constitutional framework has already been largely superseded by imperial frameworks.
I must agree...Largely because our reps are RINO cowards, and our people are not instilled with a knowledge of civics... And we are SPOILED.
Most Americans have no idea how bad it can get. Most of my neighbors are brain-dead.
However, I want to see our Pubbies, the few brave ones, go on y he offensive, cut the legs out from these toads, and maybe challenge the lawmakers on the floor, by offering to co-sponsor constitutional amendment to address the problem. Bring it out in the open, get them off guard, make a firm statement about it being unconstitutional, offer to &elp them" to do the constitutional thing, to "be bipartisan". It would rock them back on their heels. Dims are dumb. Use it against them. They have no argument to offer.
That's another piece of evidence for the idea that Putin is playing a role in a con game. He's pretending to fight back against WEF, and sacrificing his country, to provide a warning example to any other nation-state that might think about fighting back, of the crushing punishments that will be imposed by BIS, UN etc. As soon as the dust settles and all world leaders know better than to resist, gas supplies to Europe will resume and expand via a finalized NordStream2.

I have always said that this is the main area people should be paying attention to, Have always had an economic news section on my site and the links there are probably the least looked at. They should be the most looked at. The financial collapse is just as important as any geo-political news or covid news. In fact, everything else is just distraction. Linking your article as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Digital currency/ identity ushered in after financial collapse is the true beacon, ushered in with the aid of covid, climate change, gender confusion, critical race theory and anything else destabilizing the population. They have stolen our retirement funds, trillions all over the globe, and view this enslavement as the only option to avoid the rope and noose coming for them.
Oh, this is a global thing, but they are inciting us to kill each other every way they can to soften their landing. I think Europe is the furthest in the hole and should have first dips on the rocks.
They have been stealing all the money out of "trust fund lockboxes" such as Social Security, since 1968, in LBJs "Unified Budget". Same with gas tax trust fund, etc.
And NOBODY OF EITHER PARTY has even done anything to stop the theft.
Yeah, this is coming. Saw it about a year ago, after reading around repo crisis Sept 2019. Been preparing ever since. Debt free, food stocked, water etc. how long will it last, not sure. But society is about to be turned upside down
It'll last until humanity finds their spirit. Which is badly damaged from centuries of systematic and negative trauma aimed at its destruction. We see an awakening in some now, but ya, will need to buckle up until we can rise. Well done, warrior ! Hope you also turned your back on the banks. Hold.The.Line, we've got this!
How does anyone really turn their backs on the banks? Because if there's a mortgage to pay or any online purchases, you use the banks. Even when I give to my church, we use an automatic payment. I'm interested in what you recommend or where to turn to learn.
Adding background, I am speaking as a Canadian whose country just evoked martial law on us citizens over a peaceful truck assembly in the capital (Freedom Convoy) which simply requested our government finally join our discussion. Part and parcel of martial law was the freezing or seizure of citizen’s bank accounts on knowledge OR SUSPICION of support of the convoy. This latest trespass of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has clearly demonstrated the collapse of our democracy and has rightfully commenced an immediate flood of investments leaving our banks.
For sure, it is difficult nowadays to completely cut the leash our banks have on us and varies with your personal complexity of financial commitments. The primary goal however is to secure and reshuffle investments outside of totalitarian overreach and maintain a minimal checking account to feed necessary daily transactions. With the writing for an imminent global financial collapse on the wall, the event was the jumping board for many to restructure into hopefully viable, hard currency solutions. We must make every effort to keep a cash payment system alive to counteract the globalist agenda for complete digital money and personal ID surveillance. Find ideas at: Catherine Austin-Fitts (Solari Report, Cash Friday), James Corbett corbettreport.com (Solutions Watch), or explore this, https://endgameseries.com/trailer/ a 9 part upcoming financial series promising some insights into how to weather the crisis.
You have to realise that the whole system is finished. Mortgages, savings, pensions, the whole rotten criminal system. The great reset involves wiping the slate clean, a universal social credit system. You will own nothing. The currency you should heavily invest in, in the near future is food and water. As long as your not vaxed, and can get through the next couple of months( this is a guess on timeline) who knows what world we will live in
They may not succeed. Chaos can vary in scope and I am hoping that something derails globalist intents to a degree that things don't go their way. At least nowhere near to the extent they intended.
There are a lot of forces at work against each other. But if such a complete collapse happens, I hope good people find a way to band together and help each other because going it alone seems impossible.
Another scenario: BRICS replaces dollar with new currency, collapsing the dollar. Russia returning to gold standard would not solve cultural meltdown in Russia, nor reverse negative birth rate. If Russia did this, it would require other players. The natural is BRICS. Those 5 countries have nearly half the global population. About 25% GDP.
The US should go back on a gold standard since clearly the Fed can't resist printing more money and adding debt to cover profligate spending now to consume the future (our children's) wealth. The Fed can't increase the money supply to match new US wealth created, thus the dollar has no real value, which is exactly the opposite of its purpose.
Being on a gold standard has not limited the crises caused by fiscal irresponsibility. THEY SPEND TOO MUCH. Like addicts...As the wickedly funny PPJ O'Rourke said, "Giving money and power to politicians is like giving car keys and alvojol to teenage boys".
At least when they spend and create debt, we can all see their malfeasance. When they print dollars, they counterfeit those dollars because they do not represent any wealth/value that is recognized by anybody. And then money is first released to banks and the rich use it to buy assets before inflation drives their prices up, while government gets to repay our debt using cheaper dollars (fraud if ever there was fraud).
Collapsing the economy and introducing the threat of total annihilation seem like complementary strategies for bringing about a reset that we are encouraged to believe we want.
A one-world government and the elimination of nation states with conflicting interests, needs and resources, all controlled from the top down by a benevolent body like the UN might seem like a least worst option compared to a nuclear winter.
And in the face of starvation and hypothermia, a central bank bailout of the failed capitalist structures of the past could be presented as the shining light of progress and redemption. Given the alternatives that are being put in place.

According to the Babylon Bee Putin has received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for eliminating the Covid Pandemic.
so that puts me at -25, do i have to wear a mask or something now?
I hope all my readers wear three whilst reading my newsletter anyway.
fauci the cockroach came out from under the fridge and said 3 would protect people from nuclear holocaust so thats great
Wait, a nuclear holocaust will eliminate SARS Cov2 so you don't have to wear a mask. Now I know why they won't use nukes.

Where are we on Putin? On one hand history suggests he has been provoked into this by the broken promises of.the west re NATO expansion, Minsk agreements and Biden et al financiallly benefitting from UKR corruption etc etc. On the other hand if as people say, this is all part of a grand plan to crash the economy then are people saying he is party to that plan? I find it hard to believe that someone like Putin would prostrate himself on the world stage for such flagellation in order to bring about the NWO. I'm.inclined toward the theory of Putin finally going up against Davos in defence of his nation. But that means either Davos (by which I mean most or all western politicians, corporations etc) have either engineered this reaction from Russia by poking the bear once they had all their financial chess pieces in place or they genuinely had no idea he would go so rogue and are seizing on the opportunity: But that means he's caught them on the hop and surely it follows that they can't possibly know how this will pan out for them. And no one is mentioning China in all this - as if they aren't knee deep in this too. So many what ifs.....

Yes, I have NEVER seen such rabid headlines on the newsstand as I have done over the past week, the newspapers are going full tilt to ramp up the hatred and manufacture consent for war, just waiting for a baby on a bayonet...
Sberbank is now basically a penny stock after the last few days: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SBRCY/
Is this war an economic war between oligarchs? There is intense pressure to bring down the Russian Oligarchs, like Abromovich.

Debts forgiven, inflation goes away because it’s a fiction in a single digital currency world where the owner of all central banks, the BIS, magics it away. Just accept this centrally controlled digital currency, we’ll even give you money to spend on anything you like*.

Russia committed to WEF 4th industrial revolution near the end of 2021. https://www.weforum.org/press/2021/10/russia-joins-centre-for-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-network/ Putin is a WEF global leader disciple. Everyone is hoping the White Hats (someone) will safe our bacon. Regardless of who is warring whom -the truth is, all versions lead to the same end for us, but a somewhat different new power structure for them. None of this is for US.
Thanks for the link - I'm all about gaining my masters degree in geopolitical science having completed my emergency phd in virology and immunology lol!
More on this topic at two pieces I posted recently.
Putin may or may not be following the WEF script. He may playing along with the long-con, by pretending to resist, and sacrificing his country, to send the message to other potential rebellion-leaders in other countries not to even try it.
Putin recently tried to object, on behalf of Russia, against the WEF-planned expansion and strengthening of the 2005 International Health Regulations, through which World Health Organization has legally suspended all national constitutions and charters, effective with Tedros' Jan. 30, 2020 declaration that Covid-19 is a "public health emergency of international concern." PHEIC.
The Ukraine/NATO provocation is a smokescreen to sideline and make an example of Russia, as what will be done to any other nation-state, through the Bank of International Settlements and the UN, if they try to resist global trickle-down authoritarianism on behalf of their citizens.

Synopsis is, federal constitutions and charters have been suspended since Jan. 30, 2020, when Tedros declared Covid-19 a "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC)
PHEIC as a legal supercession of national sovereignty is ongoing, so constitutions and charters have not been reinstated yet. Biden affirmed, by extending the Covid-19 state of emergency in US on Feb. 18, 2022, with no expiration.
It's trickle-down authoritarianism, through funding mechanisms from top to bottom.
Bank of International Settlements controls money supply to private federal banks, so private federal banks don't fight back against BIS, or they lose their money supply.
Federal banks control money supply to federal governments, so federal governments don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
Federal governments control funding to states, hospitals, nursing homes, military, municipalities, corporations and universities (through contracts), state governments, health care workers, soldiers, local government leaders, corporate leaders, and university leaders don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
State governments, municipal governments, corporations and universities control funding to workers, K-12 schools and local health and human services programs. So workers, K-12 school boards and local health authorities don't fight back, or they lose their funding.
The first post is an account of the legal structures already in place, that make it so that acts of mass murder (hospital/nursing home protocols and 'vaccine' injections, formerly classified under international law, as crimes against humanity, are -- since 2005 International Health Regulations and implementing regulations adopted by US Health and Human Services and other nation-states' health ministries -- now classified as fully legal.
Those are now not just legal, but mandatory government acts, enforced by threatened and actual withholding of funding at every level from worker job loss at the bottom to federal bank loss of access to BIS for international financial transactions at the top.

But if he isn't going against Davos, really? Your "...have either engineered this reaction..." is my take. What if this is what they really want, the way to crash everything financial (once SWIFT action cuts off Russian debt service to the central banks and demands even more phony money be printed), clearing the way for the "Great Financial Reset"? (For this I can't recommend enough Mellisa Ciummei and Catherine Austin Fitts) What if Putin is so confident of his military vis a vis NATO (scarcely a whisper in ground forces compared to Russia's army), so certain of his ability to withstand any economic reprisals in the knowledge that this is what those WEF leaders want as well. And, despite the scripted squawking from the galleries, Putin is hardly prostrate on the world stage; no leader, and he is certainly a leader, exudes such assurance,... except for Xi. They know something.
Good logic!
I think they don't like it that Russia has marched to the beat of their own drum when it comes to globalist plans. And European globalists may really want to drag everyone into a large scale war with Russia so that in the end they are all-powerful. Which means that as horrible as it is, the world would probably be worse off if Russia lost. It's terrible that regular people from both countries pay the price for selfish powerful people to have what they want and the world goes along with it.
1.0 Smash the economy of the middle class.
1.1 Give them someone to blame at home, and someone to hate abroad.
1.2 Profit.
Appendix to 1.0: make sure to enable cut-offs and break points for your underlings, the managerial and propaganda classes, to keep them loyal.
Appendix to 1.1: make sure the designated victim is a without recourse or power, and that they have been thorougly dehumanised first.
And do not forget to create and feed divisive ideas among the citizenry, interspersed with entertainment.
Repeat as necessary: since you are rich, it doesn't matter if you wreck the country you live in. You can always move somewhere else. As G. K. Chesterton put it in 'The Man who was Thursday':
"“You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists”
Guess why the rich are liberal cosmopolitians /and/ fascist corporativist totalitarians?
It gets them the best of all possible outcomes. And us the sh*t end of a stick we have to pay them to hold on to.
Great reporting!
The recurring crises trace all the way back to the Panic of 1907, when criminal-minded oligarchs began demanding the creation of a central bank in the US -- so that bad risks could be undertaken privately, while spreading the pain around publicly.
The intention from the start (from 1913 going forward) was to privatize gains and to socialize losses.
Can you point to some documentation on this? I love history, but don't know too much about this connection.
Linden, a good piece on it is at:
www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/panic-of-1907
And you'll find that two financial goons (Heinze & Morse) acted irrationally trying to corner a copper market and then, after losing their shirts in the process, their banks faced bank-runs, and then an associated trust (Knickerbocker Trust) faced the same fate, and then several trusts did.
The trusts were giving 24-hour loans out so that people could make risky bets in the stock market, but they did not require collateral and only held 5% in reserve.
It was a "good ole' boys' club" -- with a lot of risk and potential reward -- but no way to spread the risk around to others; until a central bank was created, preventing the insiders from ever having to "fail" again.
The appropriate fate for such Ponzi borrowers and financial schemers is financial ruin or hardship, but they found a way to continue acting irrationaly while making the rest of us pay the price for their behavior.
Many thanks! I have known about the FR and it's founding for a long time, but this looks promising.
Really, CONGRESS has the sole power to issue currency, in coin. But the problem is not monetary only, its primarily fiscal (spending). Its almost impossible to get politicians to STOP DEFICIT SPENDING.
The gold standard didn't keep FDR from overspending (hence, confiscating gold from citizens, AND cheating the citizen in value by raising the value by 70%, from $20.67 to $35, after he had taken all the gold.
We are in for a bad time, because banks are broke, there's no $$ in the FDIC, and the fed can't cover for the corruption forever.
Less than a year and three months ago, the US had very low inflation, little prospect of a financial crisis, and was producing more energy than it could use. Due to the new energy policy of the “Biden Administration”, this stopped, the US became dependent on Russia - and this made Putin’s invasion possible, because then he had leverage over the US - and a steady source of funds. Of course, this isn’t the first time in recent years that the US National Security State and Military Industrial Complex have funded and given material support to both sides in a foreign war - it was the case most recently with the al-Nusra Front, supported with US weapons from CIA - and the US Army was fighting them - and both sides were consuming huge amounts of what the Military Industrial Complex was supplying. Going farther back, to World War II, the MIC owned a plant which built Messerschmitt aircraft (General Motors) and trucks and tanks for the Wehrmacht (“German” Ford - Adolf Hitler had a life-sized portrait of Henry Ford in his office). And so this profiteering is nothing new. So right now, the same thing is going on - the US is bankrolling Russia - and then selling Javelin missiles and other armaments to Ukraine. Embargoing Russian oil and gas and producing our own - which can be done quickly - shut-in wells can be brought back on line, pipelines can be re-started - would cut off a serious source of funding. Yet the “Biden Administration” fails to do this, citing pretty much nonsense reasons, and in the meantime the Military Industrial Complex gets richer - perhaps when Lenin said that “the capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them with”, he was correct.
I'm not worried and well positioned to take advantage of this. Maybe not the timing of it, but otherwise easy to predict as resources are finite or in the case of biology, overharvested (overshooting carrying capacity). Its the eat drink and be merry crowd that ought to be worried, except that, they aren't. Lower dependence on this system, start now. Start by planting a garden.
Professor Fabio Vighi got it right. COVID was caused by the looming financial crisis, not the other way around. These engineered events only postpone the inevitable. The "solution" for 2008 disaster was to inflate assets prices. That is still their main "solution". We can easily anticipate the results of such remedies. At some point even fast cycled crisis stop working - they probably plan to pull the plug on this house of cards. It will be painful and they will probably suspend constitutional frameworks. We are about to find out what’s it like to live under iron heel rule.

Our Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, mo other "agreement" or declaration can supercede it. The purveyors of such may CLAIM that the WHO has the authority to do it, but it does NOT.
Constitution lives and dies by the population’s beliefs. Nothing can save the Constitution if the critical mass of people does not believe in the principles behind the Constitution. We have seen decades of erosion on that front. Constitutional framework has already been largely superseded by imperial frameworks.
I must agree...Largely because our reps are RINO cowards, and our people are not instilled with a knowledge of civics... And we are SPOILED.
Most Americans have no idea how bad it can get. Most of my neighbors are brain-dead.
However, I want to see our Pubbies, the few brave ones, go on y he offensive, cut the legs out from these toads, and maybe challenge the lawmakers on the floor, by offering to co-sponsor constitutional amendment to address the problem. Bring it out in the open, get them off guard, make a firm statement about it being unconstitutional, offer to &elp them" to do the constitutional thing, to "be bipartisan". It would rock them back on their heels. Dims are dumb. Use it against them. They have no argument to offer.
"Natural gas levels are high but nowhere near the levels seen in 2008. Strange, seeing as Russia supplies so much gas to Europe."
Last piece of the jigsaw?
That's another piece of evidence for the idea that Putin is playing a role in a con game. He's pretending to fight back against WEF, and sacrificing his country, to provide a warning example to any other nation-state that might think about fighting back, of the crushing punishments that will be imposed by BIS, UN etc. As soon as the dust settles and all world leaders know better than to resist, gas supplies to Europe will resume and expand via a finalized NordStream2.

I have always said that this is the main area people should be paying attention to, Have always had an economic news section on my site and the links there are probably the least looked at. They should be the most looked at. The financial collapse is just as important as any geo-political news or covid news. In fact, everything else is just distraction. Linking your article as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Digital currency/ identity ushered in after financial collapse is the true beacon, ushered in with the aid of covid, climate change, gender confusion, critical race theory and anything else destabilizing the population. They have stolen our retirement funds, trillions all over the globe, and view this enslavement as the only option to avoid the rope and noose coming for them.
There is due to be a massive pension scandal in The USA when they discover all the money is gone ...
Robert Maxwell will be hailed as an amateur
Oh, this is a global thing, but they are inciting us to kill each other every way they can to soften their landing. I think Europe is the furthest in the hole and should have first dips on the rocks.
They have been stealing all the money out of "trust fund lockboxes" such as Social Security, since 1968, in LBJs "Unified Budget". Same with gas tax trust fund, etc.
And NOBODY OF EITHER PARTY has even done anything to stop the theft.
Yeah, this is coming. Saw it about a year ago, after reading around repo crisis Sept 2019. Been preparing ever since. Debt free, food stocked, water etc. how long will it last, not sure. But society is about to be turned upside down
It'll last until humanity finds their spirit. Which is badly damaged from centuries of systematic and negative trauma aimed at its destruction. We see an awakening in some now, but ya, will need to buckle up until we can rise. Well done, warrior ! Hope you also turned your back on the banks. Hold.The.Line, we've got this!
And you buddy 💪💪
How does anyone really turn their backs on the banks? Because if there's a mortgage to pay or any online purchases, you use the banks. Even when I give to my church, we use an automatic payment. I'm interested in what you recommend or where to turn to learn.
Adding background, I am speaking as a Canadian whose country just evoked martial law on us citizens over a peaceful truck assembly in the capital (Freedom Convoy) which simply requested our government finally join our discussion. Part and parcel of martial law was the freezing or seizure of citizen’s bank accounts on knowledge OR SUSPICION of support of the convoy. This latest trespass of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has clearly demonstrated the collapse of our democracy and has rightfully commenced an immediate flood of investments leaving our banks.
For sure, it is difficult nowadays to completely cut the leash our banks have on us and varies with your personal complexity of financial commitments. The primary goal however is to secure and reshuffle investments outside of totalitarian overreach and maintain a minimal checking account to feed necessary daily transactions. With the writing for an imminent global financial collapse on the wall, the event was the jumping board for many to restructure into hopefully viable, hard currency solutions. We must make every effort to keep a cash payment system alive to counteract the globalist agenda for complete digital money and personal ID surveillance. Find ideas at: Catherine Austin-Fitts (Solari Report, Cash Friday), James Corbett corbettreport.com (Solutions Watch), or explore this, https://endgameseries.com/trailer/ a 9 part upcoming financial series promising some insights into how to weather the crisis.
Thank you, I really appreciate this!
You have to realise that the whole system is finished. Mortgages, savings, pensions, the whole rotten criminal system. The great reset involves wiping the slate clean, a universal social credit system. You will own nothing. The currency you should heavily invest in, in the near future is food and water. As long as your not vaxed, and can get through the next couple of months( this is a guess on timeline) who knows what world we will live in
They may not succeed. Chaos can vary in scope and I am hoping that something derails globalist intents to a degree that things don't go their way. At least nowhere near to the extent they intended.
There are a lot of forces at work against each other. But if such a complete collapse happens, I hope good people find a way to band together and help each other because going it alone seems impossible.
Thanks!
Doc Martensen seems to think in similar ways (no time yet to listen through it)

Meanwhile, there is no threat to the supply of bullshit on the legacy/mainstream media.
Another scenario: BRICS replaces dollar with new currency, collapsing the dollar. Russia returning to gold standard would not solve cultural meltdown in Russia, nor reverse negative birth rate. If Russia did this, it would require other players. The natural is BRICS. Those 5 countries have nearly half the global population. About 25% GDP.
All the heads of BRICS nations respected P. Trump. They clearly knew what they were dealing with, and not to f*!k him.
It will be time soon to invest in a BRICS currency. Not now, but soon.
The US should go back on a gold standard since clearly the Fed can't resist printing more money and adding debt to cover profligate spending now to consume the future (our children's) wealth. The Fed can't increase the money supply to match new US wealth created, thus the dollar has no real value, which is exactly the opposite of its purpose.
Being on a gold standard has not limited the crises caused by fiscal irresponsibility. THEY SPEND TOO MUCH. Like addicts...As the wickedly funny PPJ O'Rourke said, "Giving money and power to politicians is like giving car keys and alvojol to teenage boys".
At least when they spend and create debt, we can all see their malfeasance. When they print dollars, they counterfeit those dollars because they do not represent any wealth/value that is recognized by anybody. And then money is first released to banks and the rich use it to buy assets before inflation drives their prices up, while government gets to repay our debt using cheaper dollars (fraud if ever there was fraud).
I can highly recommend BlockchainBacker on the macroeconomics.
Nasdaq just shy of a 4.2 Fibonacci extension from Dot-com crash
S&P500 just shy of a 4.2 Fibonacci extension from Credit Crunch
