Israel/Iran War Kicks Financial Table Over – Bill Holter

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter has warned there is a long list of financial trouble coming to America.  There is massive unpayable debt both on and off the books, huge fraud and waste uncovered by DOGE and a Fed that looks like it’s lost control.  Holter calls the financial system a “hyper-levered house of cards.”  Now, you can put a fast-escalating war between Israel and Iran at the top of the list of things that can go really wrong.  Holter says, “Mathematically, there are so many strings on this rug that are being pulled on that we are going to have a financial meltdown.  Look at the LA riots going on, and now they are planning riots all over the country . . . If you have strife like this during good times, what’s it going to be like during bad times?  Hope is not a plan.  Hope is for dopes.  It seems to me, from a financial standpoint and a societal standpoint, the West is upside down.  It seems this has given the West a reason to escalate the situation and kick the table over.  This way, those in power don’t take the blame.  They can point the finger and say, hey, it wasn’t our fault, World War III happened.”

Israel is now reportedly bombing Iran’s oil and natural gas infrastructure.  What will that do to inflation and market stability?

All this uncertainty and debt is reflecting on the bond market and the financing of America.  Holter says, “Liquidity is getting tight.  We are at the point in time where US Treasury auctions are being questioned.  We had a good Treasury auction a few days ago, but for the last six to nine months, they have been disastrous.  In order for the system to continue, you have to have a seamless pathway for the Treasury to borrow.  The brick wall is out there somewhere, and maybe they feel the brick wall is pretty close. . ..  Whenever military action has happened in the past, we have always seen a huge bid in the dollar.  We have always seen a huge bid in Treasuries.  In this instance, the dollar barely moved, Treasuries barely moved as gold is up 1.5 % for the day.  So, it’s pretty clear the world is viewing gold as the place to hide or the safe haven.”

Holter points out silver has broken above $36 per ounce and gold near record highs at $3,430 per ounce.  Holter contends the math says the gold and silver price is going much higher.  Just look at the 8,300 tons of gold that the US claims to hold in places like Fort Knox.  Holter explains, “The total debt and commitments of the US is over $200 trillion, but forget about that number.   Just use the ‘official’ US debt that is on the books of $37 trillion, and divide it by 262 million ounces of gold or 8,300 tons.  Right now, you come up with a number for the price of gold at $135,000 plus per ounce.”

Holter says if America loses a war such as in the Middle East or even “an aircraft carrier gets sunk, you can expect a total meltdown in the paper markets.”  That would coincide with an immediate price explosion for physical gold and silver.  Pray it does not happen.

    I agree with Bill that TPTB will use WW3 as cover for the incoming meltdown and collapse of the system. It is also what Martin Armstrong has been saying as well that WW3 is needed by Europe because Europe and the EU are all facing a sovereign debt crisis and default.

    Israel’s Decapitation Strike on Iran
    ‘Operation Rising Lion’

    Jeremiah 49:35–39: “Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might… I will bring disaster upon them… I will set My throne in Elam.” Elam, the ancient region which is now southwest Iran, has long been associated with Persia and modern-day Iranian territory.

    The Sunni Arab nations to the public will denounce this. Behind the scenes they are relieved by it. They are more concerned/threatened by the Shiite Iranians then they are by Israel.

    Look for the Abraham accords to be expanded and strengthened when this is over.

    ‘The USA has become a state as a result of liberal ideas and various other factors, through financial monopolies too. But they will never be a nation: they will always be the scene of internal disturbances, ideological, religious, and ethnic and religious rivalries. The USA will be overtaken by events.’

    Nice Tree bark Camo Bill!!! You guys are on it,,We go from one skit to the next to the next,,,🇺🇸 is bankrupt,,,50 trillion counting with what the Fed is holding and 200Trillion unfunded liability,,,,I see a ZEROHEDGE article today ” THE CIA AT THIS MOMENT STILL ASSESSES THAT IRAN DOES NOT PRODUCE A BOMB,AND WAS LIKELY NOT ACTIVELY SEEKING IT”,,,SO something different is at play,,,,The worlds largest gas field South Pars is on fire in Iran,,and China is the biggest buyer,,so this will make China seek more Russian oil to make up for this loss,,,making the bonds between the those two nations even stronger,,,All of this No Kings appears to be yet another big distraction,,,skit after skit after skit,,,,(distractions)
    Thanks Tulsi Gabbard for warning the brain dead (politicians) about how destructive nuclear war will be this next go around,,You indicated yield 1 megaton for nukes but most are .5 to 1 megaton,,,but the SATAN 2 holds 10-15 warheads yielding close to 1 megaton for each warhead for a total impact of 12 -15 MEGATON BLAST (japan ww2 was 15 kilotons),,Tulsi,,,,RUSSIA possesses the worlds most powerful bomb/torpedo POSEIDON (status 6 ) 2m39,,,and it could yield 100 MEGATONS,,,,I got mocked for suggesting a 200′ tidal wave but Russians indicate it could cause a 1600′ high tidal wave and go inland for a long long long way’s and it includes a cobalt bomb that when exposed to the neutrons from the explosion would transmute into highly radioactive cobalt-60 contaminating everything for 300 YEARS,,,
    So thanks for warning people Tulsi,,,,they aren’t the brightest bunch in Washington,,,,not sure what went on in Russia the other day but someone could be playing with all of our lives,,,(Tulsi) Please help to protect us!,,,,,,,, Col (ret) Douglas MacGregor is the only that knows what he is talking about out on media platforms,,,Mr Trump I would highly advise listening to him,,the other paid propagandist so called military experts are just that paid,,paid to project agenda,,most wouldn’t know if a 747 crashed in their backyards,,,
    Thanks again Greg and Camo Bill,,you guys are on it,,,,,,this war is all CAMO for the dollar crashing,,,and 🇺🇸 being bankrupt,,,they thought this would help but it is going to make things incredibly BAD,,,$130 + oil?? Super high inflation,,,,Iranian people are stuck with radioactive contamination now,,,this is all crazy,,,and I think Iran is already done in for,,,They are done,,its over for them,,, They were still negotiating peace and you guys pulled the trigger,,,that should bode really well across the globe,,,,you people are insane

    Holter, Armstrong, CAF, Quayle and many others all appear to be calling times up. Sure looks that way. Thank you Greg, for the quality commentators that you interview and the advice that they have shared. A great service you have provided.

    Greg on Rumble. WHY did you mute me from commenting?
    Rumble ID CX32, this is the 2nd time.
    I do NOT use bad language or other such immature commenting.
    Do you yourself determine who is muted?
    This was to be my post on Rumble ———————————
    Many of the reports the presenters seemed ‘surprised’ Iran has/had hypersonic missiles.
    Israel has a good anti-missile defense system which seems not so effective vs hypersonic missiles.
    Iran launched those hypersonic missiles AND ballistic rockets at the same time, overwhelmed Israel defenses. Does this mean the US/West Military Industrial Complex will now need BILLIONS for hypersonic defense system(s), maybe energy types such as laser???

    hey G remember increasing attacks lead to increasing A TAX but decreasing…?

  11. Katy Bar

    Notice how the Evil Neocons took out a big portion of Russia’s Nuclear Bombers Right Before Scheduling Their Attack On Russia’s Ally Iran!!! Do these Psychopathic War Crazy Moronic Neocons In The West Actually Think That By Taking Out Russia’s Nuclear Bombers, Russia Can’t Now Bomb Israel To Aid Their Ally Iran??? These Western War Crazed Neocons Are Probably Obediently Listening To Their “Demon Possessed” AI Computers – Telling Them That “Christian Russia Will Never Help Their Ally Iran By Using Hyper-sonic Missiles on God’s Chosen People In Israel Now That they Don’t Have All Their Nuclear Bombers!!!

    Mr Trump,,,why don”t you try and stop this WAR,,,this is beyond insane,,,,save some innocent lives on both sides,,,,,,us low life’s will be $10 dollar a gallon gas if you don”t stop this,,,do whats right,,,,,Mr Trump: Please LEAD WITH INTEGRITY AND HONOR AND GOODWILL TOWARDS ALL MEN AND WOMEN, Minnie Louise Haskins
    And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year;
    “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown”
    And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into
    the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.
    Melania Trump,,,,can you help us get this stopped ? Life and Good will towards our fellow man is better than all the riches in the world,,,,,war is not the way or the answer
    (thanks),,,,,

    With Regard to Gold and Silver – the American People probably don’t care to own Precious Gold “because they think the US has Enough Gold Safely Stored at our Fort Knox (Military Base)”!! Well just because our Fort Knox Gold “Is In The Military’s Protective Hands” (DOES NOT MEAN IT IS SAFE)!! Better “Think Twice America” – Have you “Taken Notice Of Any Of The Audits That Have Been Done Of The US Military Budget”??

    Iran foolishly made a “Nuclear DEAL” with the West (Like Russia foolishly did in Ukraine) only to get “Stabbed in The Back” by the West (who used the time to “Build Up Their Military Strength”). Iran (to remove some Really Bad Draconian Sanctions) “Agreed” to Limit Its Production Of Weapons Grade Uranium and now finds that by Being Faithful to That Agreement “it gave away its only chance to survive as a Nation by building a Nuclear Arsenal (like Korea did) which would have protected it from the Current All Out Attack By Israel “Now Bombing Iran Into The Stone Age”!!! Does Israel really think Russia and China “are going to let them get away with it”??? Trump should have put some serious controls on that “Hot Headed Polish” Netanyahu!!

    Well, I think the Bataan Death March was worse than the Afghanistan exit..

  18. Really Awake

    Daniel Chapter 11. The King of the North and the King of the South.

    “As regards these two kings, their heart will be inclined to do what is bad, and they will sit at one table speaking lies to each other”.

    The ongoing story of the King of the North and the King of the South carries on down over thousands of years right on down to the “End Times”. According to Daniel, during the Last Days the two Kings sit at the negotiating table and speak lies to each other. “Their heart will be inclined to do bad”. Very bad times result including war, food shortage, famine, inflation, plague and war.

    What it all boils down to is that the time comes when duplicity characterizes and dominates the geopolitical and socioeconomic situation. Is that’s what is happening now?

    Nowadays, nobody trusts anybody anymore. They’re all habitual liars – including Washington, Moscow, Beijing. And one of the most skillful of liars and deceivers is Israel. Anything Israel says at the negotiating table surely isn’t the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And the Mohammedans, Persians and Arabs are no better. All professional prevaricators.

    Here is the bottom line: there will be no world peace and security. Why? Because all of the kings are liars with bad hearts… There can be no good faith negotiations. There can be no free and fair trade. There can be no honest currency exchange. There can be no trust and genuine friendship between nations.

    “The Father of the Lie”, Satan the Devil, is firmly in control. And the only thing that ends Satan’s rule is Kingdom Come. So pray and be prepared for that.

    I hope I do not sound like a crazy person for saying this, however in regards to the “an aircraft carrier gets sunk” comment, I heard a prediction many years ago that the United States navy will suffer a defeat and many service men will be stranded.
    I cannot remember who was saying this, but this prediction is something I am hoping does not happen!

    I warn you, be careful for who you are rooting for. I know, nobody wants to hear the truth.

      Bill,
      I despise Graham, that said, I guess you are good with Iran funding terror for years against Israel like Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas. It’s all Israel’s fault? Takes two to tango. Iran is far from innocent.
