With the consumer spending and economy rocking stats, one would never know war is around the corner. I was thinking about getting an IRA, but in the back of my mind, I feel there is going to be a financial reset. Where we the commoners all have our savings and investment accounts deleted and have to start over from zero. I still have a ways to go before I can retire, so why bother saving up, the gloom is real….
Greg
Yeah, I know how you feel. Something terrible seems to be in the works and it could be a combination of a global thermonuclear conflict and something else.
Seriously, the powers in the know have determined that something is coming and are not letting us know. Maybe it’s Apophis 2029. Maybe it’s something outside of the control of anyone on this planet to change.
In the recent past, NASA attempted to redirect the trajectory of asteroids, but failed. If there is something heading this way, the governing authorities know that they are powerless to stop it.
Why are the governing powers building a large network of underground bunkers? Why the fascination with space travel? Why the alien and asteroid obsessions?
The powers definitely seem to be preparing for something. Make no mistake.
Jacob’s trouble?
Greg, you always seem to be the one who was the most skeptical, but I suspect there could be something even supernatural that will force the hand of the governing powers.
I observe the quickness at which AI and space readiness are being rolled out, and can’t help but marvel. I ask, why now? What’s the rush? Are there going to be space battles? Is there going to be a mass die off in which AI will replace much of what humans currently do? I don’t know.
I have few answers, but a pocket full of observations and questions that go unanswered for now.
As for the prices of gold, silver, and platinum, to me this is the strongest indicator that these ruling elite have decided to just let things go absolutely nuts. I don’t think they’re losing control, rather they’ve decided not to cap their breathtaking price ascensions.
My theory that 2027 was the beginning of the end unfortunately, seems to be looking like something legitimate.
As of now, there is no publicly announced existential crisis
But the governing authorities are acting as if something’s coming
The vast majority of the human population seem to be fine with the modern monetary techniques being employed by the privately run central banks. The Federal Reserve just announced that they will begin buying $40 billion worth of US Treasuries per month and hardly anyone complains. Most of the alt-media either snicker at the ostensible backtracking or claim that the central banks are losing control. But I don’t see the central banks losing control. So, I discount any theoretical impending financial calamity as a factor.
With this said, I do observe the current regime of monetary policy techniques and wonder. Quantitative easing, as a set of monetary policy techniques, truly operate to consolidate the global wealth and power over humanity. I find it interesting that QE was the chosen avenue way back in 2008. During the great financial crisis, a number of techniques could have been used, but the Federal Reserve chose to purchase Treasury debt and allow the deficits to balloon.
QE as a monetary mechanism is the exact path I would choose if I were running the central banks and wanted it to consolidate my wealth and power in the most expedient fashion.
I feel bad for you young folk, but I don’t think there’s really much to look forward to past the end of the decade. For those growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, life was great. Today’s children are being raised in a high-tech mind prison.
Nonetheless, anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear knows something’s up.
Merry Christmas….
The metals do seem to be flagging a major reset in the financial system, which we know is coming, and even at the door. At some point, failure to deliver will cause a major panic probably starting with silver and working it’s way into all commodities.
Revelation 6 5-6 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
A penny here represents a days wages. Sounds like hyper inflation!
