Bob Moriarty: Venezuela, Imminent Attack on Iran, Hyper Inflation & The Return of the Gold Standard...(Jan. 15, 2026)
Palisades Gold Radio...
Summary
The US interventions in countries like Venezuela and Iran, and the escalating global tensions, may lead to a catastrophic economic collapse, hyperinflation, and a potential return to the gold standard as the current debt-based financial system collapses.
Global Economic System Restructuring
The world is experiencing a fundamental shift from the West’s debt-based system to the East’s resource-based system, with China, Russia, and Iran forming an alliance that challenges Western economic dominance rather than acting as traditional enemies.
Moriarty predicts a return to a gold or silver standard within the next decade as the only viable solution to end the current financial crisis, marking a shift to a healthier monetary system compared to the collapsing debt-based model.
A financial collapse ten times worse than 1929 is imminent as the Western debt-based system faces inevitable collapse, with current economic chaos representing unprecedented financial instability.
Precious Metals Market Dynamics
China controls 60-70% of the world’s silver supply and as of January 1st, 2026, requires government permission to export it, signaling a potential silver shortage and strategic resource control.
The gold-to-silver ratio has historically ranged from 15:1 to 110:1 with an average of 53:1, making silver currently a better buy than gold given the absurdly low prices of both metals relative to the financial chaos.
Cryptocurrencies are 98% speculation and not true money, while gold and silver remain critical protection during hyperinflation and serve as both historical monetary assets and essential industrial materials.
Geopolitical Conflict Analysis
U.S. interventions in Venezuela and Iran are not about oil or resources but about maintaining Western economic dominance against the rising resource-based system in the East.
An attack on Iran, as pressured by Israel and Netanyahu to Trump, would be disastrous for both nations due to underestimating Iran’s military power and risking catastrophic consequences including closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. sanctions and tariffs on countries dealing with Iran, especially China, are absurd and ineffective given China’s access to cheap energy from Russia and India, undermining the economic warfare strategy.
Current U.S. foreign policy and leadership represents potentially the worst in world history, pursuing aggressive military and economic strategies that risk significant losses and accelerate the fundamental restructuring of global power.
Melody Wright: Housing in 2026: What Buyers & Investors Must Know NOW...(Jan. 14, 2026)
Soar Financially...
Summary
The housing market is facing a downturn and significant changes, with various factors such as government interventions, demographic shifts, and economic trends likely to impact prices, inventory, and affordability in the near future.
Market Fundamentals
January 2026 existing home sales hit lowest levels since 1995, tracking 2008 crisis levels despite $200B MBS purchases since May 2025 and lower mortgage rates, with 20% purchase rejections and 42% refinance rejections—the highest since Fed began tracking.
Housing affordability in 2026 requires one of three scenarios: 2.65% mortgage rates, 50% income increases, or 35% home price declines, according to Realtor.com industry analysis.
Proposed 10% credit card rate cap triggers credit tightening as JP Morgan provisions for loan losses, while unreported delinquent student loans compound mortgage rejection rates amid 38% debt-to-income ratios matching 2008 crisis levels versus historical 28% standard.
Foreclosure Wave
FHA program changes limiting serious delinquent workouts to once every two years with mandatory three consecutive trial payments create projected 50% fallout rate, driving foreclosure surge by Q2 2026 as 270+ day delinquencies become ineligible for loan modifications.
Supply Dynamics
15 million vacant homes exist nationwide with institutional investors owning under 2% overall but dominating specific markets like Atlanta, Tampa, Charlotte, and San Antonio, where Boomer-owned long-term and short-term rentals create oversupply particularly in Northeast and coastal areas.
High delisting activity from sellers unable to achieve desired prices may reverse in spring 2026 as lower rates potentially unlock Boomer-held inventory, triggering price declines in oversupplied markets.
Regional Opportunities
Texas and Florida offer best real estate deal opportunities while West Coast including California shows year-over-year price declines, with Nashville remaining overpriced despite marginal affordability improvements.
Property Radar provides superior market intelligence through tax liens, bankruptcies, divorces, and deaths data, offering distressed asset insights unavailable on traditional platforms like Zillow.
Peter St. Onge: Tim Walz faces impeachment...(Jan. 15, 2026)
Peter St. Onge...
Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing impeachment and criticism for his handling of various issues, including allegations of welfare fraud, response to BLM riots, and policies that have negatively impacted the state’s economy.
Economic and Administrative Failures
Minnesota’s state spending increased by 65% under Walz, funded by tax hikes on income, payroll, vehicles, and grocery delivery, yet the state ranked 39th in job growth and 46th in household income growth, demonstrating massive spending without economic returns.
Minneapolis transformed from one of America’s safest cities to one of the most dangerous major cities with violent crime surging 42% and homicides jumping 60% in just 2 years under Walz’s leadership.
Welfare Fraud Investigation
Governor Tim Walz faces impeachment over industrial scale fraud involving an estimated $9 billion stolen in welfare fraud to Somali communities, with Donald Trump deploying 2,000 FBI agents to Minneapolis to investigate the scheme.
Policy Contradictions During Civil Unrest
Walz instructed police to shoot paintballs at curfew violators and suggested neighbors shoot violators during COVID lockdowns, but took a hands-off approach during BLM riots, allowing looting and arson that caused over $500 million in damage.
Political Implications
Despite impeachment proceedings, Walz is likely to finish his term as it requires Democrat votes to pass, with Amy Klobuchar predicted to run for governor and likely win due to Minnesota’s lax voter ID laws and generous benefits for illegal voters.
