 How to stop the Depression  |
| Capital erosion is not natural nor is it inevitable. Rather, it has been inflicted upon the world economy by the unmindful and irresponsible monetary policy of the United States in deliberately driving the rate of interest to zero.Tuesday, January 26, 2021 |

| Horatius at the Bridge |
| In 6th century B.C. during the early years of Rome, wars for regional dominance prevailed constantly between the Roman troops and neighboring tribes such as the Etruscans. In 508 B.C., the Etruscan king, Lars Porsena, marched on the city of Rome in hubristic hopes of taking the city itself and becoming its ruler. Upon meeting Roman troops at the banks of the Tiber River, his superior forces proceeded to slaughter the weaker Roman army attempting to defend the city outside of its gates near the PMonday, March 12, 2018 |

| “Harry’s Dented logic” revisited |
| I believe I have written a couple of times in the past regarding Harry Dent’s “dented logic”. I did so after reading fearful e-mails from holders of gold and silver. Well, Harry Dent is at it again. He has advertisements everywhere, the latest posing as an “article” on Zerohedge where he says gold will be crushed to $700 in a market panic.
He claims a financial and market meltdown is coming to which I wholeheartedly agree because the math not only supports this, it guarantees it at some point. TWednesday, January 17, 2018 |

The green arrows are 10 years long. Peaks indicated are in 1987, 2007, and potentially 2017.
The pause in 1997 was not a top because the market rally extended
into early 2000. The current peak in 2017 could also extend, but
valuation and timing indicators show high risk.
When the monthly RSI (timing indicator at bottom of graph) exceeds

| The Fed is Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic (the Iceberg Comes in 2018). |
| The Fed concludes its final FOMC meeting of the year today.
The entire financial world expects the Fed to raise rates a final time. This will mark the fifth rate hike since December 2015, and the fourth of the last 12 months.
Throughout this time period, the Fed has routinely stated that it is confused as to why inflation is “too low.”
Inflation is not too low. The method the Fed uses to measure inflation is intentionally incorrect. As a result, the official inflation numbers reflect whatever thThursday, December 14, 2017 |

| Trump’s Tax Plan: A Convoluted Mess |
| “Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand,” wrote Henry David Thoreau in his great classic, Walden in 1859.
If only we of the modern day could restore some of Thoreau’s wisdom to our lives and our tax system. The convoluted monster that stands for our tax code today both permeates and suffocates practically every decision we make in the political-economic arenas of life.

Homework Assignment  |
| Poor old Karl Marx, tortured by boils and phantoms, was right about one thing: History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. Thus, I give you the Roman Empire and now the United States of America. Rome surrendered to time and entropy. Our method is to drive a gigantic clown car into a ditch.
Is anyone out there interested in redemption? I have an idea for the political party out of power, the Democrats, sunk in its special Okefenokee Swamp of identity politics and Russia paranoia: mFriday, September 29, 2017 |

 Signs Of Distress |
| The world is edging closer to the final moments after which everything will be forever changed. Grand delusions, perpetuated over decades, will finally hit the limits of reality and collapse in on themselves.
We’re over-budget and have eaten deeply into the principal balances of all of our main trust accounts. We are ecologically overdrawn, financially insolvent, monetarily out past the Twilight Zone, consuming fossil fuels (as in literally eating them), and adding 80,000,000 net souls to the plMonday, August 14, 2017 |

You don’t have a greater quantity of bitcoins; bitcoin has no yield. Bitcoin simply sells for a greater quantity of dollars now than it did before. But who wants to sell?

It started by selling their souls to Big Money and class elitism. In this they joined forces with the Republican party which declared its allegiance to Mammon many years ago, and has served it faithfully ever since.

| SPX: Short Term Reversal To The Downside!
The financial markets have already “priced in” huge tax cuts, reducing red tape regulations and a massive increase in infrastructure spending.
Perhaps, the markets are now believing that the agenda is not going to occur with Al Green asking for Trump impeachment? This could result in a significant downturn for stocks if it were to unfold.
The SPX index declined more than 1.75% and wiped away about $375 billion in market value. The SPX went from a record Friday, May 19, 2017 |

by removing the “real demand” that “gold settlement” creates!
Break the mechanics of this market and you will find that
gold is the most valuable currency in today’s currency arena.
Many investors, today think that the answer to this dilemma
is for traders to take delivery and cause a short squeeze.
My friend, in this arena, taking delivery means settling in cash!

| By Egon von Greyerz
As we approach the beginning of the greatest wealth destruction in history, it is an absolute certainty that no one will escape the suffering that will be brought upon the world. The ones who will suffer the least financially are of course the poorest since they have very little to lose. At the same time, many of the poor will die of famine and disease. The middle class will also suffer since many will lose their jobs. They will lose pensions as well, since pension funds willSunday, April 16, 2017 |

You know what? You’ve got to stand for something.”

Pressure: “Culpable For Our Bubble Economy And Trying To Shift Blame Before A Collapse”  |
| This article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Alt-Market.com.
Editor’s Comment: What goes up must come down. This action has been planned for sometime. It is clear that the Federal Reserve pushed the QE liquidity bubble to its absolute extremes during the Obama years, knowing all along that it would simply raise rates once the ride was over. Now that this is beginning to happen, at the timing of the Fed’s choosing, it is being dumped on the Trump Administration. And PresiThursday, February 23, 2017 |

Don’t be fooled by the idiotic exertions of the Red team and the Blue team. They’re just playing a game of “Capture the Flag” on the deck of the Titanic. The ship is the techno-industrial economy. It’s going down because it has taken on too much water (debt), and the bilge pump (the oil industry) is losing its mojo.

I’ve taken a lot of heat for being “gloomy” and for “fear-mongering” lately when I’ve said that President-Elect Trump is inheriting a mess of epic proportions and that we may still be in for a rough financial ride.
