The Economic Collapse

The fall of the tyrannical regime in Iran would be one of the most important geopolitical stories of the past 50 years and would totally transform the entire Middle East.  But Ayatollah Khamenei and his minions will not go down without a fight.  Several days ago, I warned that the reason why the regime in Iran had shut down Internet access was because it was planning to use extreme violence against the protesters.  Of course that is precisely what has transpired.  President Trump told Iran what the U.S. would do if that happened, and now we have learned that he is being briefed on military options.  When Trump hits Iran, the Iranians will strike back by targeting U.S. bases and Israeli cities.  Once Iranian missiles are fired at Israeli cities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not hesitate to unleash the full force of the IDF on the Iranians.

The left wants to get millions of activists into the streets during the months ahead, and just like last time around they are hoping that an incident in Minnesota will be the spark.  Meanwhile, ICE has initiated a “wartime recruitment” strategy and is planning to meet any protests head on.  Both sides absolutely hate one another, and we have already seen so many incidents of violence.  This is such a tragedy, because none of us should want to see Americans fighting against Americans.  Unfortunately, I am convinced that the civil unrest that we are witnessing will greatly escalate as 2026 rolls along.

After months of submitting resumes and filling out applications, many unemployed Americans have given in to despair.  Dozens of large companies all over the nation have been conducting mass layoffs, and the competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available has become extremely intense.  But if you have not lost your source of income, things may still seem fairly normal to you and you may be wondering what all of the fuss is about.  That is why I am calling this “the musical chairs economy”.  If you have been able to hold on to a chair each time the music stops playing, that is a good thing.  But you should also realize that there are millions of Americans that have been forced out of the game and are absolutely desperate to get back in.

If we wanted to make Russian President Vladimir Putin and his minions extremely angry, we have certainly accomplished that task. When I learned that the U.S. had seized an oil tanker that was displaying a Russian flag and that was being protected by Russian warships, I was absolutely stunned. I have been relentlessly warning that being extremely aggressive with the Russians will backfire severely. If we truly want peace with the Russians, diplomacy is the only solution. Punching the Russians in the face won’t work, and if we continue to go down this path it could easily lead to the unthinkable. (Read More...)

The rules of the game have changed. At one time, western bankers could easily pull a few strings and keep the global price of silver within an acceptable range. But now financial centers in Asia are becoming more dominant, and supplies of physical silver are becoming extremely tight. As a result, western bankers are no longer able to exert the same level of control. (Read More...)

After years of heading in the wrong direction, nobody can deny that the United States is facing overwhelming problems.  So why don’t we focus on fixing those problems first?  The truth is that we can’t do everything because our resources are very limited.  U.S. households are more than 18 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government is more than 38 trillion dollars in debt.  Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population is struggling to even afford the basics each month, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, our streets are teeming with hordes of drug addicts and homeless people, large numbers of Americans are selling images of themselves online just to make ends meet, and millions of others are living in their vehicles.

The dramatic events that just occurred in Venezuela have shocked the entire world.  But almost everyone is missing the bigger picture.  A very tense geopolitical game of chess is playing out right in front of our eyes, and the stakes are incredibly high.  The Trump administration would love to push the Chinese and the Russians out of the western hemisphere, and setting up a new western-friendly government in Venezuela would be a huge step in that direction.  Most people do not realize this, but Venezuela actually has more proven oil reserves than anyone else on the entire planet, and that includes Saudi Arabia.  President Trump and his team are gambling that the Chinese and the Russians will stand down and allow them to do whatever they want with Venezuela.  But what if they don’t?  The Chinese and the Russians have both spent decades developing very deep ties with Venezuela, and now they are both absolutely furious.

Are we on the brink of a worldwide nightmare? Many have described what we are currently experiencing as a “perfect storm”. We have been getting hit with one crisis after another as global events have greatly accelerated in recent months. But now it feels like the next chapter that we are entering is going to take things to an entirely different level. (Read More...)
