THE TWIN TOWERS OF BABEL ARE COMING DOWN: EQUITIES AND BONDS

When leveraged debt is cash, what’s to fret?

For 300 years, the banker’s ponzi-scheme of debt-based cash introduced wealth to the bankers and energy to governments. Nothing lasts perpetually, nonetheless. In 2023, the hazards lengthy dormant beneath the bankers’ debt-based markets are going to erupt.

BlackRock says prepare for a recession not like every other and ‘what labored up to now will not work now’ – December 8, 2022

“A worldwide recession is simply across the nook as central banks increase borrowing prices aggressively to tame inflation — and this time, it is going to ignite extra market turbulence than ever earlier than, in accordance with BlackRock.”

“The worldwide economic system has already exited a four-decade period of secure development and inflation to enter a interval of heightened instability — and the brand new regime of elevated unpredictability is right here to remain, in accordance with the world’s greatest asset supervisor.”

“Which means policymakers will now not have the ability to assist markets as a lot as they did throughout previous recessions, a staff of BlackRock strategists led by vice chairman Philipp Hildebrand wrote in a report titled 2023 International Outloo”

“Recession is foretold as central banks race to attempt to tame inflation. It is the alternative of previous recessions,” they stated. “Central bankers will not experience to the rescue when development slows on this new regime, opposite to what buyers have come to anticipate. Fairness valuations do not but mirror the harm forward.”

In March 2022, I wrote: On March fifteenth and sixteenth, the Fed started a sequence of interest-rate hikes that can show disastrous to world buyers. Since then, the S&P fell 17%, the Nasdaq 30% and crypto markets over 50%. On December tenth , MarketWatch famous Family wealth down between $13.5 trillion in 2022, second-worst destruction on file

Market losses will likely be even larger in 2023 because the Fed will increase rates of interest till it’s satisfied inflation can now not turn into hyperinflation, a financial state the place fiat cash turns into nugatory.

NOTE: Ralph Foster’s ebook, Fiat Paper Cash, The Historical past and Evolution of Our Foreign money, is the proper present for individuals who nonetheless consider fiat paper cash is preferable to gold and silver.

The seeds of at this time’s hyperinflation have been sown in 2020 when central bankers printed historic quantities of fiat cash to offset a catastrophic drop in demand because of Covid-19 lockdowns. Whereas the historic cash printing prevented an imminent deflationary collapse, it re-awakened highly effective inflationary forces beforehand quiescent for many years; and costs started rising in 2021.

Inflation’s 2021 ascent brought on James Bullard, president of the St Louis Federal Reserve, to warn: We’re at extra danger now than we’ve been in a technology…this might get uncontrolled…One situation can be…a brand new shock…that we are able to’t anticipate…however we’d have much more inflation.

What Bullard meant by “a brand new shock…that we are able to’t anticipate…however we’d have much more inflation” is hyper-inflation , fait cash’s Achille’s heel attributable to extreme financial liquidity that may be reversed solely by elevating rates of interest.

Elevating charges at this time, nonetheless, is extraordinarily harmful. International economies, burdened with virtually $130 trillion of debt, are susceptible to any slowdown. When economies gradual, so does the flexibility to repay debt. When development stops, the bankers’ daisy-chain of debt unravels, bonds default and economies will collapse.

On December nineteenth, after the Fed had raised rates of interest 4 instances in 2022, David Lynch wrote within the Washington Publish:

“…even after 9 months of repeated Fed fee hikes, inflation-adjusted rates of interest are nonetheless destructive. Karen Petrou, managing associate of Federal Monetary Analytics, stated the stress will develop as soon as charges transfer greater and actually start to gradual the economic system. After Thursday’s enhance, the Fed now expects charges to peak subsequent yr above 5 % and to stay there via 2023…“It’s a really tough state of affairs. As charges rise, even in a light recession, then it will get ugly,” she stated. “

“The Federal Reserve has not established a proper inflation goal, however policymakers usually consider that an appropriate inflation fee is round 2 %.” – Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System

Ought to the Fed maintain elevating rates of interest to realize 2% inflation, it is going to set off a collapse of inventory, bond and actual property markets that can make the Nice Despair seem to be an amuse-bouche

A GREAT WAVE OF INFLATION, THE COLLAPSE OF CAPITALISM AND THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW PARADIGM

In September 2008, in my article Gold & The Collapse of Paper Cash, I referred to Professor David Hackett Fischer’s The Nice Wave, Value Revolutions and the Rhythm of Historical past (Oxford College Press 1996):

In response to Professor Fischer, all through historical past intervals of social stability are interrupted by waves of rising costs. These nice inflationary waves are accompanied by surprising disasters, excessive social upheaval and trigger the collapse of the present period; clearing the best way for a brand new extra superior age.

“In every wave of rising costs: …Meals and gasoline led the upward motion. Manufactured items and companies lagged behind. These patterns indicated that the prime mover was extra combination demand, generated by an acceleration of inhabitants development, or by rising residing requirements, or each.”

“… Costs went greater, and have become more and more unstable. They started to surge and decline in actions of accelerating volatility. Extreme price-shocks have been felt in commodity actions. The cash provide was alternately expanded and contracted.”

“…Monetary markets grew to become unstable. Authorities spending grew sooner than income, and public debt elevated at a fast fee…Wages, which had at first saved up with costs, now lagged behind. Returns to labor declined whereas returns to land and capital elevated. The wealthy grew richer. Inequalities of wealth and earnings elevated. So did starvation, homelessness, crime, violence, drink, medicine, and household disruption.”

“…This was a time of misplaced religion in establishments. It was additionally a interval of determined seek for religious values…Younger individuals, unsure of each the long run and the previous, gave option to alienation and cultural anomie.”

“As 2022 ends and 2023 is about to start, the best inflationary wave (measured in magnitude of change) is about to culminate in a disaster of demographic contraction, financial collapse, political revolution, worldwide battle and social violence that can finish the current prevailing paradigm of capital markets and debt-based cash.”

“The extra common a paradigm, the longer its existence, the extra basic and revolutionary will likely be its shift.” – DRS, Time of the Vulture, Might 2007

“The current prevailing paradigm of capital markets and debt-based cash is now in every single place. Its collapse will likely be as far-reaching as its penalties. A soft-landing isn’t an choice. The Nineteen Thirties Nice Despair will seem to be an amuse-bouche in contrast to what’s about to occur.”

NOTE: BlackRock warned buyers to “prepare for a recession not like every other” [i.e. the Great Depression]. Previous to the Nineteen Thirties, any financial downturn was known as a despair. Right now, they’re known as recessions.

A BETTER WORLD IS COMING

“Every disaster improved the situation of abnormal individuals. It has additionally enlarged concepts of human dignity, freedom, and the function of regulation. This tendency has turn into extra highly effective in every successive wave.” ¬– Fischer, The Nice Wave, Value Revolutions and the Rhythm of Historical past

In 1981, Buckminster Fuller wrote that an unprecedented disaster meant to rework humanity into an interconsiderate harmonious entire with the next lifestyle for all was about to start.

Bucky Fuller’s prediction of at this time’s disaster and its objective helps Professor Fischer’s thesis that following the collapse of the current paradigm, a greater world will emerge. Debt slavery will now not be humanity’s frequent bond.

In Time of the Vulture (2007), I predicted a extreme financial disaster was imminent. That disaster started in 2008 and is now nearing its cataclysmic decision. My new ebook, “Docking At The Mothership” is meant to assist readers perceive and survive what’s now about to occur.

Purchase gold, purchase silver, have religion.
