Alasdair Macleod: US Debt Skyrocketing As China Secretly Accumulates 25,000 Tonnes Of Gold

As Good as Gold Australia...

Summary

Gold is seen as real money by many countries, leading them to accumulate large reserves of it, and its purchasing power remains relatively constant through the centuries.

  • The People’s Bank of China had a monopoly on currency dealing and could play with dollars and gold, setting up the Shanghai Gold Exchange as part of its legal mandate.
  • The People’s Bank of China’s constant declaration of larger gold reserves may not accurately reflect their actual accumulation of gold, especially considering their status as the biggest gold miners on earth.
  • The decline of gold reserves in America led to a crisis, ultimately resulting in the suspension of the Bretton Woods agreement by Nixon.
  • “I reckon that the S&P 500 is so overvalued that in order to correct itself for the current level of yields in the US Treasury Market it should fall to under a thousand.”
  • Gold is completely mispriced compared to the amount of currency that’s printed.
  • The relationship between gold and fiat currency is not simply a matter of dividing the number of dollars by the reserves in the central bank, it’s a complex and subjective relationship.
  • “This is why the Singaporeans, Chinese, and the Russians have been accumulating gold like billy-o, because they know it’s real money.”
  • Gold’s purchasing power remains relatively constant through the centuries, proving that real money is real money and it remains so.

Brent Johnson: US Dollar & Gold - Getting Drunk on Global Liquidity

Soar Fiancially...

Summary

The US dollar’s status as the global Reserve currency gives it significant advantages and control over the global financial system, making it unlikely to be displaced in the near future.

  • The US has many advantages as the global Reserve currency, including control over the way money gets transferred around the world and the ability to kick people out of it.
  • The volatility required to displace the United States as the global hegemon would cause the dollar to go higher.

  • The US dollar falling dramatically could lead to a crisis where the whole world could go down together.
  • In the years ahead, the dollar and gold are expected to outperform all other currencies.
  • The Eurodollar market plays a significant role in maintaining the strength of the US Dollar, as there is no other country with the same level of external demand for its currency.

Russell Brand: It's Over (Ukraine)

Russell Brand...

Summary

Ukraine’s war against Russia is unsustainable, unwinnable, and draining resources, with President Zelinsky’s insistence on total victory being seen as unrealistic, and a diplomatic solution seems more favorable.

  • Corruption in Ukraine’s government is a concern for US and NATO allies, risking billions of dollars disappearing into the pockets of corrupt officials.

Michael Pento: Wipeout Of Entire Economy

Liberty and Finance...

Summary

The US economy is facing a potential financial crisis and market crash due to unsustainable levels of national debt, interest rate repression, and asset bubbles.

  • The interest on the debt is already at a trillion dollars, and in 16 years, all revenue will go to entitlements, defense, and interest expenses, leaving nothing to operate the government.

Economic Predictions and Market Crash

  • It’s a wipe out of the entire economy. We didn’t have anything like that in the Great Depression leading up you know the Roaring 20s nothing like this.
  • Michael Pento predicts a market crash of 30-50% with the onset of a recession, based on historical data since 1937.
  • The regime of interest rate repression and taking interest rates to zero and below in nominal terms engenders massive asset bubbles and encourages the taking on of a tremendous amount of debt.
  • The extreme levels of asset bubbles and debt could lead to a 30-40% plunge in home prices, wiping out the banking system.
  • The US dollar, as the world’s Reserve currency, could potentially go the way of the Hungarian Peno if the current economic situation continues.
