The Pause…
The Pause… I have frequently described “Project Zimbabwe” as a highly inflationary cycle where both fiscal and monetary stimulus go into insanity mode. While I sincerely hope we don’t go hyperinflationary like Zimbabwe, I certainly think we see an elongated period of substantial and debilitating inflation. When this cycle finally ends, society and our financial […]
It’s Game Over for the Fed—Expect a Monetary “Rug Pull” Soon…
It’s Game Over for the Fed—Expect a Monetary “Rug Pull” Soon… You often hear the media, politicians, and financial analysts casually toss around the word “trillion” without appreciating what it means. A trillion is a massive, almost unfathomable number. The human brain has trouble understanding something so huge. So let me try to put it […]
UN Secretary-General Blames Global Economic Crisis On Ukraine War
UN Secretary-General Blames Global Economic Crisis On Ukraine War NATO governments and globalist institutions have put on a good show acting as if they hate Putin and the Russian advance in Ukraine, but the reality is that the war acts as an all encompassing distraction from the greater agenda at hand. It offers globalist organizations, […]
Central Banks, Global Debt & COVID
Central Banks, Global Debt & COVID Ed Dowd summarizes his career and insights as a successful stock picking “conspiracy theorist”. I first met Ed Dowd during an early trip which a group of physicians from the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists (www.globalcovidsummit.com) made to the Hawaiian Islands of Maui and Oahu during the […]
#235. The affordability crisis
#235. The affordability crisis WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING What might be called the ‘consensus narrative of the moment’ is that our near-term economic prospects depend on the ability of central banks to tame inflation without tipping the economy into a severe recession. There are numerous complications, of course, but this is the gist of the story. What these […]
Those who the gods wish to destroy…
Those who the gods wish to destroy… The UK is already in a de facto recession – only the fiddling of the data to count GP appointments as a value-adding activity led to a paltry 0.5 percent GDP growth in May. Discretionary spending has already plummeted, and it is only a matter of time before we see […]
Is the Euro An Energy Problem Or A Central Bank Problem?
IS THE EURO AN ENERGY PROBLEM OR A CENTRAL BANK PROBLEM? If its an energy problem, then there is no way back. It looks more like a central bank problem to me. As mentioned in the last post, the huge break in energy prices between the US and the rest of the world could explain […]
This Implosion Will Be Fast–Hold Onto Your Seats
THIS IMPLOSION WILL BE FAST – HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS The massive money creation in the 2000s has led to a debt and asset bubble, which is about to burst. Investors will be shocked by the speed of the decline and won’t react before it is too late. The massive money creation by central and […]
Pulling Back The Curtain On The ‘Real’ US Economy
Pulling Back The Curtain On The ‘Real’ US Economy Revised numbers on US GDP from the Bureau Of Economic Analysis indicate that the economy faces a deeper contraction than originally reported. GDP shrank in the first quarter of 2022 by 1.6%; this is an impressive and sharp reversal from the fourth quarter of last year, which saw GDP […]
Rabobank: It’s A Depressing Idea To Admit We Have No Ideas
Rabobank: It’s A Depressing Idea To Admit We Have No Ideas It is said that small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, and great minds talk about ideas – and I would add the smallest of minds talk about themselves. The smallest-minded market view is what your individual asset class did yesterday. For […]
Putin Says US Decision To Print Money Is Behind Soaring Food Prices
Putin Says US Decision To Print Money Is Behind Soaring Food Prices Earlier, we reported on the deranged, confused, false ramblings of a senile old man who is so out of his depth in running the world’s biggest economy, the catastrophic results will soon be obvious to even his most die-hard fans. Now, it’s time […]
The Handbook for Debt-Soaked Nations: Lie, Print, Inflate & Finger-Point
The Handbook for Debt-Soaked Nations: Lie, Print, Inflate & Finger-Point Below we consider the classic (and oh-so predictable) tactics of debt-soaked nations facing a showdown (corner) between tanking markets and ripping inflation. Ultimately, I see a stagflationary end-game in which both occur, but for the near-term, prepare for more inflation, as it’s the option all debt-soaked sovereigns […]
The Big Questions We Should All Be Asking Geopolitically
The Big Questions We Should All Be Asking Geopolitically To say that current events are ‘messy’ today would be the height of understatement. Everyday the headlines blare at us some new set of contradictory data points convincing us of some lie that serves someone’s purpose. No matter how hard we try to keep up with […]

Buckle Up for a Crashing Economy and More Inflation
Buckle Up for a Crashing Economy and More Inflation Jerome Powell began hinting that inflation might be a problem last August. In November, Powell retired the word “transitory.” But here we are in May and the Federal Reserve still hasn’t done anything substantive to address the inflation problem. And now it may be too late. It’s probably […]
