FISA Abuse Report Coming Soon, MSM Propaganda Psyop, Economic Update

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (WNW 407 10.25.19)

DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz sent a letter to Congress telling them the long awaited IG report he’s been working on is nearing completion. Looks like it could be released in November with what he calls “few redactions.” Some are reporting the report is extensive and covers much more than fraud on the FISA court with a phony dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC to get warrants to spy on everything Trump.

The MSM is running a full-fledged psyop on “we the people” and throwing what little journalism they provide out the window in an effort to team up with the Deep State and the Democrats to remove President Trump from office with made up phone charges, polls and hit pieces from anonymous sources.

The Federal Reserve seems to be in panic mode supplying cash to banks to “keep the banking system stable.” The Fed pumped out $134 billion in one day this week. Why? What is wrong in what is supposed to be a great economy?

    Greg,
    Yes there is an issue with the so called REPO. I made mention of it several times in comments on this site. Now its starting to become a real issue. Finally!!
    All of a sudden the short term nature has turned into “until the 2nd qtr 2020”. What that really means is we are now in QE 4 FOREVER.
    The fact they are doing in excess of $100BLN PER DAY should be the RED FLAG.
    What are they hiding at the FED that the Market doesn’t need to see ?
    Warren has requested the same info here …..
    https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/10/elizabeth-warren-demands-repo-loan-answers-as-ny-fed-repo-data-disappears/
    Gold and the USD have acted accordingly in reaction to the latest.

    • K. Wayne

      We are at this juncture after numerous warnings from the Elite.
      First we had this from the BIS …… warning the financial system was unstable and that there was potential for a chain reaction type systemic failure…..

        Mark Carney (Governor of the BOE) gave a speech at the Jackson Hole meeting back in August. In it he mentioned (amongst other things) the plight of the USD Reserve currency…. meeting with destiny. The need to “change the Game” was of paramount importance.

      K. Wayne,

      The Fed’s “repo operations are NOT the same as QE like many people mistakenly believe. From an article last month by Wolf Richter (one of the better people to read):

      “As these operations were undertaken every day for the past four days, it’s essentially the same $75 billion that gets recycled every day. The daily amounts are not additive. And these operations have nothing to do with QE.”

      https://wolfstreet.com/2019/09/20/fed-admits-plan-a-of-controlling-money-market-rates-fails-shifts-to-plan-b-repos-which-was-plan-a-till-2008/

      Wolf also says in this article that the $75 Billion is really small fry and explains why it is.

      The use of Repos, which is used to help control short-term rates, existed long before QE, which is used to help control long-term rates. There is a difference in purpose and effect so it would not be right to call it QE like so many people do.

      Article: Central Bank Tools of Intervention: Reverse Repos versus QE
      http://www.bsic.it/8092-2/amp/

      The Fed has a number of different tools in their toolbox. Repo operations are not the same as QE just like a hammer is not the same as a screwdriver.

      • William Stanley

        paul jr.,

        Wolf Richter is correct that the daily Repo quantities are not cumulative. Indeed, a couple of other commenters here have pointed that out recently.

        However, IMO, it is misleading to imply that the Repo activity that we have seen in recent weeks is simply a technical change in the method of managing overnight lending rates or that it is “small fry.” Indeed, Mr. Richter’s “small fry” comment compares the recent ongoing Repo operations to an unprecedentedly massive — though relatively short-lived — event in the immediate wake of the 9/11 attacks.

        The attacks on 9/11 quite understandably caused a massive shock of uncertainty; banks were unsure of the financial stability of their counter-parties and, therefore, were understandably highly reluctant to lend to each other in the overnight markets. Mr. Richter’s own statistics vividly show the extreme nature of the Fed’s wake-of-9/11 Repo operation.

        A major difference between then and now is that then we knew what the (literally) earth-shaking event was that caused all the uncertainty and concern about the financial stability of counter-party banks. What we are now witnessing is an ongoing intervention that also indicates that something very large may be broken or bent in the financial world. However, this time we don’t exactly know what might have “necessitated” the Fed’s extreme actions.

        As for “hammers versus screwdrivers,” your analogy seems to imply vastly different purposes. However, the purpose of both is to help attach one thing to another. The same could be said for “glue.” Concerning the Fed’s interventions that Mr. Richter described concerning 9/11 and September 2008, in both instances the world’s financial system was highly imperiled and in danger of becoming unglued. I think that it would be wise to suspect something equally earth shaking is now afoot. What we are witnessing IS extraordinary and cries out for explanation. Sadly, IMO, Mr. Richter’s article obscures more than it reveals.

      • JC

        Once again paul jr. the “voice of reason” has spoken. I agree with you about Wolf Richter. He is one of the better people to read.

    • paul ...

      What will QE “4-ever” do to the stock market? … remember how the Zimbabwe stock market soared with massive money printing … well this billionaire thinks … https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/baron-suggesting-hyperinflation-coming-america … the Dow will go from 26,800 to 650,000 (24 times higher) … gold (24 times higher) takes us to 36,000 per ounce!!

      • paul ...

        So why wait “50 years” playing with risky stocks … when gold could go to 36,000 in “1 year” (once the re-set is approved)!!

      • paul jr.

        And that is why it is probably not smart to “short” the stock market right now. Even without hyper-inflation, U.S. stocks are almost certain to continue to go up in the near term.

        • William Stanley

          paul jr.,
          Turbulence kills: I remember once watching a powered glider that was trying to catch a thermal. Instead it unexpectedly ran into a patch of turbulence that ripped its wings off. Sounded like a double-barreled shotgun: ba-bam. The wings fluttered in the air for a long time after the fuselage and its pilot (an experienced airline pilot) had gone straight in.

          • paul jr.

            Yes, and shorting a bull market also kills. Gary Shilling recommended investors short the S&P 500 back when it was below 2900.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL1EuhFS_u4

            So far investors would already be down over 4%. And now we are entering what is known as a favorable seasonal period for stocks.

            https://static3.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2017/7/47774015_14994170085151_rId9.jpg

            If this plays out, as it does most of the time, those investors will be sorry to have taken his advice. Investors should never short a market. That is something for traders to do. Investors should just lessen their stock allocation.

    • Mike R

      I’d bet good money that Pento will tell us all about the repo situation sunday morning. 😉
      And he’s someone who actually knows what he is talking about. (unlike Stan)

    • Mike R

      For those that remember, QE1 was approximately $100 billion a month on average, QE2 was $75 billion, and QE3 was $85 billion. But, to see the Fed coming forth with this type of liquidity injection when the market is hovering just below its all-time highs is a bit surprising. Yet, the market is still unable to break out.

      Worse, the Fed just injected $135 BILLION in ONE day. Thats right folks. Yet They call this “NotQE.” (haha, its really QEonSteroids, so technically you could see why they wouldn’t want to label their actions as “QE.” Its way worse.)

      So This is worse than merely any simple ‘Red Flag’ time. This most likely means numerous banks are likely on the verge of melting down. Many interconnected by very precarious derivatives. remember this too, most derivatives are interest rate based, AND what has been happening to interest and their volatility is what craters derivatives. So at the core of it all – this massive mess – is the grand daddy BLACK HOLE of them all, Deutsche Bank, sucking liquidity out of every corner of the planet.

      So rather than tell you this time, they are just going to pretend nothing is there to worry about, as their hubris makes them think they ‘got this covered’ – just like the last 3 QE’s.
      Some really nasty stuff is going down. can’t wait to hear what Pento says on this.

  2. K. Wayne

    Then we had the admission by the Dutch Central Bank … “Dutch Central bank admits that not only COULD the system collapse, but that GOLD will be needed when it’s time to start over” .
    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/central-bank-issues-stunning-warning-if-entire-system-collapses-gold-will-be-needed-start

    We cant say we haven’t been warned sufficiently.
    With the current actions of the FED with its REPO BS ….. all that remains is Market chaos resulting from a lack of confidence, a rise in defaults and the Banks shutting their doors and we are in a full hard court press… Anarchy.
    I firmly believe in the mantra of ….Where’s there’s smoke … there’s FIRE !!

    The actions of one or a few CB’s (in buying Gold)… will turn into a waterfall event.
    Be prepared and be your own CB. What this implies is that the CB’s are working towards a new monetary paradigm. One which imposes a hard monetary link…in the form of GOLD. At some future point these financial wizards will implement their long awaited system and perhaps revalue / reset against Gold at much higher values.
    Demand at that point may well outstrip supply – meaning it may become virtually impossible for anyone to acquire /let alone own it.
    I stress this is not an investment play. This is buying an Insurance contract. One that you hope you will never have to call in.

    • K.Wayne

      Greg,
      With your kind permission I wish to repost this response I made to Stan on the Craig Hemke interview…concerning the FEDERAL RESERVE. It is relevant to this very topic of the FED being in panic mode by providing liquidity…. in the form of “money out of thin air”…to the financial system machinery.

      K. Wayne 10/25/2019 •
      Stan, I could write an expose about the controllers of the monetary system (FED), but time doesn’t permit.
      Self Interest, Self Preservation and the lack of care for the Working class are some of their characteristics. Nothing in their mandate/charter is adhered to. They are the LEACH on the American people & society, syphoning off wealth and shifting it to their masters. What at times seems like clueless acts are in fact well planned and executed agendas. They create booms and busts and expect everyone should come to accept that they are normal cycles, which they are not.
      Call me biased if you will….. but I simply do not accept that they should have the absolute power that they possess. These Luciferians are part of those vying for World Domination.
      Allowing them to continue to exist ….implicitly states that every citizen has granted them the permission to destroy their very own lives. That is achieved by many nefarious means….most of which I have delineated on this platform on countless occasions.
      I honestly don’t care for your political preferences. What I stated was that it was obvious given your extreme sympathy for the FEDERAL RESERVE.

      Whilst there is an immediate concern for the actions of the FEDERAL Reserve it should be understood in the context of what they truly stand for. Their mandate (not the Federal Reserve Act) is to ensure the survival of their own member BANKS. Survival inherently includes the POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. This is fundamentally paramount. They are a diabolical institution, owned and run by devil worshippers, to ensure the enslavement of all those who are reliant on their FIAT CURRENCY SYSTEM. They truly possess the power to ruin every citizens life.
      Our collective dilemma is that we are solely reliant on our elected representatives to make the necessary choices in governing this country. They cannot satisfy our requirements if they are beholden to this powerful entity (and the powerful people behind it). Moreover they (Congress) will not and cannot act to remove this creature which has continued to harvest off the American people.
      To me it seems quite obvious. They have created this world of unlimited Debt. Debt that is unrepayable. Debt that will implode the whole system. In their quest for wealth, fame and power they ultimately have not only bankrupted America…but the whole Globe. There is literally no place to hide.

          Stan … since the Fed was created in 1913 we have had tremendous growth (in debt) … now every family of four(4) is in hock for a quarter of a million dollars … and will very likely take your suggestion to pay it back with rocks and sea shells!! … https://254155-841844-raikfcquaxqncofqfm.stackpathdns.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/US-national-debt-graph-historic.png

    ” The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society. And we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to SECRET PROCEEDINGS. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating it’s arbitrary restrictions. Even today there is little value i insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand it’s meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. ”

    Greg,
    You and most of your readers probably already know that these words were spoken on April 27, 1961 by the last President who dared challenge the DEEP STATE and we all know that he wasn’t allowed to finish his first term either. I think it’s also important to realize that he was addressing the American Newspaper Publishers Association when he spoke these words before they became part of the deep state. We need to send them and all of congress a copy of this speech to remind them of their responsibilities. Then perhaps we can locate a patriotic chiropractor to help congress on both sides of the…er…ah…let’s say… circle locate their spines.

    • paul ...

      Good contrast Mal: as to what the “Democratic Party once was” under JFK … and the “Demon-ratic Party now” … with their “secret proceedings, falsified facts and commie agenda”!!

    • MAL

      What happened in 1913? The stage was set for the greatest crash in the history of the world in 1929. The crash of an industrial revolution and economic expansion that was well underway long before 1913. Roosevelt didn’t confiscate “rocks and seashells”. He confiscated gold.

  4. Paul in OZ

    Everything that is going on in both the economy and the political situation in the US is stranger than fiction … fiction is more believable that the last 10 years. Hank Paulson went to the congress for 700 billion (originally voted down) to save the system in 2008. Now the fed just makes 100 billion per day available to once again baling out the banks … The bail outs continue while the bail in legislation has since been introduced and the public is asleep. You have people worrying about climate change which has flip flopped between warming and a new ice age for 80+ years. While the economy has through world wide debt had every nuclear bomb ever existing in the world exploded upon it and people are oblivious … Fulke Greville said it best:
    Oh, wearisome conditions of humanity!
    Born under one law, to another bound,
    Vainly begot and yet forbidden vanity:
    Created sick, commanded to be sound.
    What meaneth Nature by these diverse laws —

Secondly people’s priorities are out of whack as demonstrated by how many people live at the coffee houses, the waste at macca’s and the massive proliferation of pre-made foods, also the ridiculous amount spent to stay connected with the latest gadgets … people save less because they have been brainwashed into wasting money instead of saving money.

      Perhaps DT would be best served to understand Catherine Austin Fitts sharing of “control files” and have DT make appointments only from those who are not slaves themselves, or who have high moral values (wait, how does one get folks with high moral values into DC … is it even possible?)

    • Uncommon sense

      People like to rail against socialism, but our problems stem from a failure of both capitalism and socialism. Allow me to elaborate. It was the capitalists under Reagan and Thatcher that petitioned for the financial markets to be deregulated. Capitalist arguments were made that financial institutions should be unrestrained in their pursuit of profit and that free market economics should be allowed to play out.
      25 or so years later when the folly of deregulation became apparent these same ‘capitalists’ became ‘socialists’ and demanded the governments bail out the failing institutions.
      It is necessary to view the complexities of our current predicament and avoid just blaming socialism or capitalism as both systems have been largely failed to produce a sustainable and fair society.

    The smearing of Tulsi Gabbard should be a wake-up call to every American whether Independent, Democrat or Republican. She is intelligent, cogent, attractive, has served your country, is a woman and from an ethnic minority. She is also against unnecessary war. If we rewind a mere 10 years in the Democratic party, she would be deemed a hero. But instead, the media and the establishment brand her as a Russian spy and You Tube suppress her videos.
    I am neither a Democrat or a Republican. In the past, my views have been that we need the right for the free market business and we need the left to act as a safety net for the disadvantaged. Sadly the Democratic party has no moral compass whatsoever anymore and Trump, whatever his flaws, is the only man with the strength to overcome this corruption and needs four more years. However, in five years time, hopefully, the Democratic party will be full of people like Tulsi Gabbard and the American people will have a choice again

    Another imbecile opens his big mouth, so I just threw his CD’s in the garbage can.

    Bruce Springstein says…

    “The stewardship of the nation is — has been thrown away to somebody who doesn’t have a clue as to what that means … And unfortunately, we have somebody who I feel doesn’t have a grasp of the deep meaning of what it means to be an American.”

      Mr Springsteen is a fraud. He’s a talented musician that comes across as working class but he’s no where close to that. Never has or been. Trump is a true blue collar billionaire and a American success story. He’s the epitome of an American and obviously loves America. And he has flaws too. Just like Bruce and the rest of us. Btw: how many people has Springsteen hired compared to Trump? Hmm.

    Concerning the gang wars in Mexico, I’ve been suggesting it, half in jest, for years but maybe its time now to seriously consider annexing northern Mexico…you know, to provide a safety buffer/security zone et al.

    These grossly illegal moves by the Dims to demonize our POTUS, which give aid and comfort to our enemies and their efforts to curtail the Constitution and BoR,…didn’t Abraham Lincoln suspend Habeas Corpus during the War Between the States and throw thousands of Americans in prison, even using military tribunals to convict certain individuals?

    Thanks for all you do. I wake up every morning and pray for not only our President my distant cousin but for our nation. A you might remember the St. Michael Prayer which I say every day to ward off evil from within out nation. The way is it is the Demonrats are the party who do not believe in God, The Republicans and Independents do believe in God.

    Also…The atheists who were hired by the colleges and universities have been spreading their lies to all the students. I know almost all my nieces and nephews espouse getting rid of old people and people with special needs. CAN YOU BEIEVE THAT?? It came out of their mouths. They were going to church before college ….but none of them are now they identify as atheists. GOD HELP US I PRAY.

            So you have admitted you are ignorant of the Lord and his Son Jesus Christ. That’s a start. You believe in science Un? You believe in the recent scientific theory of how the universe started? Scientists now say the universe started min and instant. The Bible says it started when the Lord said “Let there be light”! Science now backs up the Bible. Now, if the scientists can only figure out where all the mass came from to start the universe. It may take another 100 years for science to figure out the Lord provided it. Intelligent design my friend use it and come towards the light of the Lord and Jesus. Your life will be better and you will no longer be lost. Don’t believe in Jesus? Either did Lee Strobel when he started writing the “The Case for Christ” https://www.amazon.com/Case-Christ-Journalists-Personal-Investigation/dp/0310345863?ref_=ast_slp_dp Strobel was an atheist and worked for the Chicago Tribune in the 1980’s when that paper was one of the top papers in the country.

    When I was young, I was taught that one of the things that we have to learn during this “Permission of Evil” is that fallen man is not capable of ruling himself in a fair and just manner. Everyone on the whole earth has to learn this lesson.
    There are many people out there that have no comprehension of this lesson to be learned.
    For that reason, I look for things to get much worse, worldwide.
    It has to get so bad that everyone on earth turns towards their Creator.
    Which means to me, that things have to get much worse.
    On the bright side (I guess) we are headed in the right direction. Things seem poised to get much worse, worldwide, for everyone.
    This may not be an accurate thought, but we seem to be on course to learn some really hard lessons.
    Be provisioned well enough to stay home for a few months, and by the Grace of God we may weather the storm. There will be a remnant of mankind that survives the trouble.
    This is what I was taught. Your teachings may very, but we will all find out together, what the near future holds in store, for all of us.

    Good review of different issues.

    Here in Phoenix the big news is a White Castle hamburger joint opening up. Talking with a friend’s 16yo that is the only news in town. The great deception.

    Mexico is a failed state. When the next big earthquake hit Mexico City there will be millions northbound from Mexico alone. Here in Phoenix we see the results daily of illegals comitting crimes. Lucky for us we get to pay for their imprisonment. That is a whole separate issue; the private prison industrial complex. Corrupt police, prosecutors, and judges making money for the local and state governments on the taxpayer dime. When the economic system crashes the prison funding racket will go with it. You wonder if there will be mass executions of prisoners. Less mouths to feed and keep behind bars.

    I heard Greg Mannarino comment on how we the people control our destiny and how we can collapse the system. Bank runs. If a majority of people showed up and demanded to withdraw money it would crush the banking system. The banks would not be able to fulfill the demand of course but people would realize the sham that the banks don’t have any money.

    The democratic states/cities are collapsing. Chicago with one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel.

    California seems to be practicing for the big one. Rolling blackouts now a routine. Good luck with those electric vehicles. Or any vehicle for that matter. When the EMP hits it will fry all vehicle solid state components. Unless you have a 70’s or earlier vehicle without solid state components there will be no vehicles left to drive. Keep a solar powered radio in a Faraday cage for the future. Just in case. Or get an old CB radio and also keep it in a cage. Field expedient antennas are easy to build.

    Now is the time to plant in the desert for the winter. Spinach, beets, carrots, winter squash, cabbage all does well in Arizona. All as there is water which I doubt as things progress. When the power goes out, so will the water pumps.

    Palo Verde nuke plant west of Phoenix is another issue. The cooling system relies on a separate energy source. When the grid goes down there will be a meltdown. Thank God they built it 40 miles from Phoenix/Maricopa County. Phoenix and the county are downwind. Great planning in the 70’s.

      Russia preparing to disconnect from the Internet. If this is true then perhaps we are closer to war than we really think. The US infrastructure is very vulnerable to cyberattack. I am sure the Chinese and the Russians have already figured out have to disable our systems. We already have a kill switch somewhere.

      It will be interesting to see what happens when cell phone communications go down. A large majority of the population will be stunned when their iPhone does not work. I have noticed key cell stations in the Phoenix area with back up fuel tanks and power systems. It appears that they will run on diesel powered engines in a crisis. They are typically in close proximity to fire stations.

      I have noticed an increase in surveillance cameras with solar power panels. Another just in case the electricity is turned off plan to keep key surveillance state equipment operating.

    If the DOJ does bring charges and the goal is to get Trump out of office either by impeachment or voted out, these guys will be pardoned by the next POTUSA if there is a staged conviction.

    GREG;
    Is there a possibility that your next financial guy could give us a rundown on junk silver.
    Is it wise to hold a lot of junk silver
    When the meltdown comes, will it be valued by its face value, or by the content of its silver?
    I hold a hundred dollars in junk silver.

    • paul jr.

      Well I hope it by the silver content. I have about $50,000 worth of junk silver that I bought in the last year. Mostly below melt.

    • paul ...

      Bill … $100 dollars of junk silver (approximately 6 ounces) is going to provide you with about one years salary if the price of gold goes to $400,000 dollars per ounce (at the extreme right of the following bell curve) and assuming a gold silver ratio of 15 (so in the best case $100 dollars of junk silver will give you $26,600 dollars)
      https://lenpenzo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Freegold_bellcurve_2.png … however the most-likely post-reset price of gold will have an equivalent purchasing power of about $55,000 in 2009 US dollars (or $61,500 in 2016 dollars, etc.) … the above curve indicates there is a 95% probability that the post-reset price of gold will fall between $25,000 and $85,000 … this means your $100 dollars (or six ounces of silver) at a gold/silver ratio of 15 will provide you with only $1,666 to $5666 dollars to live on … so you will need something like $1000 dollars of silver to provide you with one years salary of about $30,000 dollars … paul jr. has enough silver to provide him with $30,000 per year (for 50 years) … bottom line (every 60 ounces of silver you own will provide you with about $30,000 post re-set dollars to live on) hopefully the inflation rate will be modest enough so your $30,000 is enough to make ends meet!! … so Bill … as 60 ounces of silver at the current price of $18 dollars costs $1080 … every year “of barely surviving” you want to provide for you and your family at a 95% probability on the bell curve requires an insurance investment of about $1,000 dollars worth of junk silver … $100 dollars worth of silver will provide you about “one year of survival money” but with only a 2% probability gold goes to $400,000 dollars per ounce!!

      • paul ...

        Everyone should realize by now that owning gold and silver is an insurance policy to “simply keep you living in poverty” after the re-set … it is not an investment to make you rich!!

        • paul ...

          To live “rich” … will probably take owning 600 ounces of silver for every year of your remaining life … at current prices this requires purchasing about $11,000 dollars worth of silver (for every year of life you have left)!!!

        • Steve Bice

          Again, for all who disavow the metals as an investment…

          Respectfully, I would like to offer another perspective. I fully expect you will “get rich” in real terms when gold and silver reset. This “reset” will not be confined to the collapse of the dollar and the subsequent adjustment of the dollar price. Market distortions have set up a “wealth” play in gold and silver.

          Goods typically have a downward sloping demand curve whereby price increases as quantity declines…and vice versa. Think about what has happened in our corrupted metals markets: Paper derivatives on the COMEX purportedly increase the “supply” of gold by ratio of over 200 to 1. Now, imagine that 99.5% of gold supply is suddenly eviscerated by the collapse of the paper gold markets. (Just do a search on downward sloping demand curves to visualize the forces in play.)

          According to basic economic theory, price will soar beyond your wildest expectations…assuming society doesn’t blow completely apart. Simply, the paper markets have spoofed the physical market by creating a fraudulent supply number…with concomitant suppression of price.

          Further, many believe gold (and silver) have characteristics of Giffen goods…meaning as price goes up, demand also goes up. Ever heard of gold fever? That means more demand…and higher “prices”.

          The entire demand curve will shift outward as gold (silver) becomes the go-to investment…meaning further upward pressure on prices.

          Finally, there are many who believe we have reached “peak gold”. If population continues to grow, necessarily, the per capita amount of gold will decline…there is less to go around, so to speak.

          So, take heart, if society holds together in a world-wide reset, you will likely not be worrying about “money” ever again. That said, there will be plenty of other things to worry about.

          Finally, these price (value) moves are entirely independent of inflationary impacts on the dollar. They are “real” gains as “price” adjusts to market forces governed by actual supply and demand fundamentals (and artificial supply is eviscerated). Simply put, you bought at prices far below true market value. Lucky you…

          Further:
          The gains I am describing are entirely independent of inflation…even massive inflation. I am describing a snap-back phenomenon where gold and silver are suddenly exceedingly scarce (relatively) when 95%+ of the supply (in terms of current price discovery) disappears. You will have the same or greater demand and 5% of the supply…with “price” racing to a new (real) equilibrium point. Inflation will be on top of the value gain…so the final price is irrelevant. But the value (and purchasing power) of the gold you hold should skyrocket.

    Interbank Markets
    Banks are required to maintain a certain amount of reserves on hand with the Central Bank. In return, the Central Bank is required to bail out individual banks as well as the banking system in case of unforeseen events like a run on the banks.
    However, as the banks conduct their business of day to day borrowing and lending, it is unlikely that they will always have the exact number to meet the reserve requirements. The banking system as a whole will have the exact reserve requirements. However, individual banks may not have the requisite amount of reserves. Hence banks trade reserves with each other in a market known as the interbank market.
    As the name suggests, this is basically a market where banks make unsecured loans to other banks. The tenure of these loans varies from overnight to a few days. This market is the backbone of the modern fractional reserve banking system and any issues in the interbank markets always have large scale implications. This was the case with the credit freeze of 2008. [from MSG website].

    a good explanation of how repo [repurchase] markets work. the cause of the spike in rates out of nowhere will be dealt with, but who or what caused it, I do not know. I cannot recall an acute event [like a lehman brothers event]. did a bankster or deep state goon somehow engineer this? paul craig Roberts postulated that the oligarchs would destroy the economy to bring down trump to cover their crimes up. I am suspicious now.

    This country no longer has a media. The MSM is not media, its a fourth branch of government, the propaganda branch. They attack Trump, conservatives and people of faith around the clock. They give a complete pass to those on the left and anyone or anything which progresses the secular agenda. They control the social conscience. Propaganda works. Fox news and a few others like this blog are trying like hell to resist the false narratives of this reprehensible MSM. I mentioned something on this blog weeks and weeks ago. Ramping up the intensity of the impeachment was to serve a purpose, to discredit Barr, Horowitz and Durham. As forecast, it’s exactly what happened. Clapper and crew came on CNN yesterday and told us Durhams investigation turning into a criminal investigation was an attempt to detract from the real issue, the impeachment. The opposite is true, they ramped up the impeachment to detract from the crimes done against our country. The biggest story in all of this, is how absolutely corrupt the MSM really is. We no longer have a “media” in this country. Greg please don’t stop from doing what your doing. expose the MSN for what they are.

    Likely will not go well for Trump since the continued rigging and financial losses a result of his blessings and under his administration…
    Time now for people to go to cash, paying off debt, NOT participating in stock and bond market as… the end of the U.S. dollar and the trust in it is evaporating rapidly abroad and at home = start buying and hording physical commodities = metals, PM, ingots, food, grains, animal stock, lumber, fuel supplies, anything physical not immediately perishable…especially now a good time for is much stress on the crops
    ( lack of them) and a period of record cold coming…being a good time for people to ‘get physical’ as the days of ‘on time deliver’ will wane… Indeed the end of it as you have been reporting/anticipating is arriving…
    No more – slow burn – time to move and be ahead of the crash as awareness overtakes the population like a tsunami … The trust…especially with the supreme fakery and inability of the government to deal with national concerns…leadership eroded to childish bickering…shallow political idiocy…and a state of lawlessness and lack of rule of law and justice…non-existent.

    You know, Greg…….every single week I just cannot wait to come to your site and catch up on what’s happened this week. Your open straight forward, no-nonsense reporting of the real facts is so easy to understand for even the dumbed-downers out there. I love reading the posts each week and find that I am so much more aware and knowledgeable about the real state of affairs than most of my contemporaries. I do refer your site to friends and family in hopes they may become more aware and knowledgeable also. Thank you so much for being a trusted voice for all Americans…….if only they will get involved.
