Mot: The other day my neighbor, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping so excitedly but I thought, 'what the heck', and I starting jumping up and down along with her.
She said, 'I have some really great news!'
I said, 'Great. Tell me why you're so happy.'
She stopped jumping and breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down and told me that she was pregnant. I knew she'd been trying for a while so I told her, 'That's great I couldn't be happier for you!'
Then she said, 'There's more'

She said, 'Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!'
Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said....
(You're going to love this!)
'Well, that was the easy part. I went to Sam's Club and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a TWIN-pack. Both tests came out positive.

The Biggest Gold Robbery In History
.The Biggest Gold Robbery In History
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
How to End the Tyranny
Chiasso is a municipality in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. It is located on the border with Italy.
It started one day in August 2009 in Chiasso 40 KM north of Milan:
“At the Italian-Swiss border crossing – bonds worth 134.5 billion were seized from two Japanese nationals. These included 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth $500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth $1 billion each. What caught the attention of the police officers were the one billion dollar notes. Such large denominations are not available on the regular financial and banking markets. Only nation states deal in such amounts of money.”
Since this bizarre event, the story has only continued in the form of an extensive amount of “inside information”. To make a long story shorter; here is a brief resumé.
The Biggest Gold Robbery In History
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
How to End the Tyranny
Chiasso is a municipality in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. It is located on the border with Italy.
It started one day in August 2009 in Chiasso 40 KM north of Milan:
“At the Italian-Swiss border crossing – bonds worth 134.5 billion were seized from two Japanese nationals. These included 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth $500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth $1 billion each. What caught the attention of the police officers were the one billion dollar notes. Such large denominations are not available on the regular financial and banking markets. Only nation states deal in such amounts of money.”
Since this bizarre event, the story has only continued in the form of an extensive amount of “inside information”. To make a long story shorter; here is a brief resumé.
The Japanese were released shortly afterwards and never prosecuted. It later emerged that this was a trap to enable a lawsuit to be filed against the Federal Reserve. On November 23, 2011, an extensive 111-page legal complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. “This complaint has now become an evidentiary public case, as the sequel explains.”
Court reporter Dan McCue began asking the same questions you might now think. He was the first mainstream journalist to report on this story in Courthouse News Service (information since removed), which is a national news service for lawyers and the news media. McCue personally is not necessarily convinced; the article is titled “Bizarre Claim for $1 Trillion” (content removed)-but given that this is a real case, is this certainly interested enough to write about.
“An American expat in Bulgaria, Neil Keenan, claims that the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the Office of International Treasury Control and the Italian government colluded with a host of others to steal more than $1.1 trillion in financial instruments intended to support humanitarian purposes.
The 111-page federal indictment covers a range of entities common to conspiracy theorists, including the Vatican Illuminati, Jesuits, Freemasons, the “Trillenium Tripartite Pact Gold Commission,” and the US Federal Reserve.
The White Dragon Family
Plaintiff Neil Keenan alleges that in 2009, financial instruments – including US Federal Reserve Notes worth $124.5 billion, two Japanese government bonds with a combined face value of $19 billion, and one US “Kennedy” bond with a face value of $1 billion – were entrusted to him by an entity called the “White Dragon Family,” which is a group of several wealthy and anonymous Asian families.
“The White Dragon family refrains from public view and knowledge, but acts, according to information and belief, for the good and better benefit of the world in constant high-level coordination with global financial organizations, in particular, the Federal Reserve System,” Keenan claims.
“In the course of its existence over the last several centuries, the Dragon family has amassed great wealth by having provided (against collateral) the Federal Reserve Bank and the United States Government with assets in gold and silver through certain accounts held in Switzerland, for which it has received understanding in the form of a variety of Notes, Bonds and Certificates as described above; which are an obligation of the Federal Reserve System.”
Keenan says that with the interest accrued, the instruments are now worth more than $1 trillion. He says the family appointed him as principal in an effort to select certain registered and authorized Private Placement Investment Programs (PPPs) for the benefit of unspecified global humanitarian efforts.
In his remarkable lawsuit, Keenan alleges that many years ago the US government received vast amounts of money – delivered in gold and other precious metals – from the White Dragon Family, and that the money was placed in the Federal Reserve System for the benefit and support of the dollar, “which was to become, and currently remains, the world’s reserve currency.”…. Keenan alleges that the Dragon Family entrusted him with billions of dollars in bonds which were stolen when two Japanese agents tried to cross the border at Chiasso, in a suitcase.
The Defendants Involved
[Keenan] alleges that as the conspiracy unfolded, several senior officials repeatedly offered him bribes in the order of $100 million, to “release” the instruments without disclosing their theft to the Dragon family, and to allow the instruments to be converted into a so-called UN “Sovereign Programme”, entirely under the auspices, protection and umbrella of the sovereign immunity enjoyed by the defendants.
Other defendants include UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Giancarlo Bruno, who is designated as the World Economic Forum’s head of banking, Italian Ambassador to the UN Cesare Maria Ragaflini, Ray C. Dam, Chairman of the Office of International Treasury Control, and David A. Sale, Deputy Chief of the OITC Cabinet Council.
Keenan is demanding the return of the stolen instruments, punitive damages and court costs on multiple claims of fraud, breach of contract and violation of international law. If interested, visit Courthouse News Service, (link removed) to read the rest of the case as summarized by McCue.
“On information and belief, these bonds [held by the Dragon Family] have values ranging in the many thousands of trillions of US dollars, a relatively small portion of which is involved in the claims giving rise to this action.
Each of these currencies, like the DFFI [Dragon Family Financial Instruments] involved in this action, was and remains properly registered within the Federal Reserve System – and are directly verifiable by the Federal Reserve through its efficient verification system and screening process.”
It’s mind-boggling, thousands of trillions of dollars, isn’t it? As mentioned in the intro, the Dragon family wanted these bonds stolen, to qualify the lawsuit. These bonds represented only a small percentage of the total assets… all clandestinely registered with the Federal Reserve and the Bank of International Settlements!
The theft of the bonds was a well-crafted sting operation that brought this story into the open – now a huge international alliance of 117 countries has a legal way to end the financial tyranny of the Old World Order better known as the Deep State cabal that is planning to implement the New World Order – NWO.
Incredible though it may seem, this whole story is true. Absolutely true!
To this day, this is the biggest real problem for the Federal Reserve and the Deep State power elites. On the other hand, this is the very best news for all humanity of the world. The documents very clearly refer to a group of Western elites, who planned to start World War III and reduce the world’s population by 90%, in order to realize their NWO.
The Asian secret society was fully aware of the plan for World War III that the cabal wanted to start, and they did their utmost to stop it. The Asian secret society includes Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. In fact, it goes directly to the group of 77 non-aligned nations.
Eighty-Five Per Cent Of The World’s Gold Ended Up In Asia
The Dragon family is an ancient group of families whose connections go far beyond temporary political structures, a society of various dynastic families and clan groups based on family ties. Unlike in the West, where the various groups, make things more confusing, as all call themselves the Illuminati.
Eighty-five per cent of the world’s gold has ended up in Asia, accumulated over the past two to three thousand years. A follow-up essay will explain this amazing piece of history, about which little has been published so far.
The Second World War was about the grab for this gold. The Western power elites wanted to own and control all the gold in the world. So they planned to take all the gold out of private hands and make it their property.
In 1934, US President Roosevelt banned the private ownership of gold, supposedly because of the Great Depression and the need to save the economy by pooling everyone’s gold in the Federal Reserve. That was a blatant lie. The Jews did not want to give up their gold. That was one of the reasons they were rounded up and sent to concentration camps.
The Bretton Woods Agreement
The Fed took the gold out of the vaults in each bank; they looted the private vaults to remove the gold in private hands. Most of the gold was withdrawn from the market by 1944. Until the Bretton Woods agreement was made to set up the gold-backed international monetary system. After the cabal had confiscated almost all the gold.
Most of the gold not owned by Western powers was taken off the market. It was blacklisted, or hidden in caves, or buried in sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean. This gold did not count towards the coins created worldwide. It was withdrawn from the market as a provision for security and control.
Britain, France and the United States created the Bretton-Woods Agreement for global control on the basis of a 50-year mandate, before WW2 ended, after which the power elite decided to end WW2.
It was assumed that the elite would develop and modernize the planet as agreed upon. Once, everything back to normal, President Roosevelt was assassinated by poisoning on behalf of a fascist coup. He knew too much and was a liability to the elite. Instead of developing the planet, the cabal and the military-industrial complex wanted a cold war between the Soviet Union and the West to continue their secret agenda.
In 1955, 77 countries, including China, Indonesia, Yugoslavia and India, opposed the Bretton-Wood agreement, saying it was an unwise plan. This group had the historic rights to most of Asia’s wealth. In fact, most Asian countries were members of the group of non-aligned nations, they wanted to modernise Asia and Africa; to finance this they pooled their wealth.
The President of Indonesia, Soekarno, had a strong blood relation with the Dragon families. In 1950, he was designated the signatory of all this money that belonged to the royal Dragon families in the Far East.
When the Cuban Missile Crisis came, and the world almost went into a total nuclear war, a businessman named Benjamin Freedman told what was really going on behind the Cuban Missile Crisis. He said that they wanted to create this war so that they could take over the planet. There is enough evidence for this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_H._Freedman
Kennedy and many other leading figures in the US condemned the plan and said loudly, “OK, this is crazy. We don’t want any more of this secret society madness.” So Kennedy agreed to work with the non-aligned countries to end the Cold War, and to fund developments in Africa and Asia. And, to keep the folks in the military-industrial complex happy, Kennedy promised to send a man to the moon with NASA.
Kennedy sourced gold from Indonesia, and issued US Treasury notes and bonds controlled by the US Treasury, not the Federal Reserve Board.
Kennedy signed this bill just days before he was assassinated. It stopped the US Treasury from selling its silver to private individuals, and gave the President the right to issue silver-backed currency – without Federal Reserve approval.
The Federal Reserve might have deliberately bought up all the Treasury’s silver so that it could eventually print as much money as they wanted – without having to back it up with hard assets like gold and silver.
By stopping the flow of this precious metal from the Treasury through his Executive Order 11110. In effect, this order gave the president the ability to issue silver-backed dollars.
The Treasury Secretary was deprived of the authority to issue silver bonds. Kennedy did this because the Federal Reserve controlled the Treasury Secretary.
Kennedy believed that silver-backed dollars could curb the inflation caused by the Federal Reserve’s “bubble money”.
Why President Kennedy was Killed in 1963
Executive Order 11110 was only the first visible stage of Kennedy ‘s plan to defeat the Federal Reserve and eventually use Asian gold as collateral for an entirely new financial system.
The power elite killed Kennedy and drove Sukarno from power. Unfortunately, the Asian groups at that time did not have the military strength to fight back. They went underground and after Sukarno’s death, his nephew was appointed to administer the rights, in order to complete the ongoing trial. And to prove that the cabal had falsified the original rights in order to sabotage currency issue against gold cover in 1968.
The Asian groups went underground, probably unaware at the time that Henry Kissinger, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, and the Bushes, had forged the rights to use the money to create US Dollars.
Indeed, in 1968, US Dollars were backed by 85% Asian gold from World Gold Reserve, owned by the Asians. Counterfeit, without any legal documentation!!!
The reason why the effort has been made to present this whole story in a concise format, is because this is the only way to fight the FED, by widely providing as many people as possible with this knowledge, and make them aware of this biggest gold robbery in history.

Little Ways The World Works
.Little Ways The World Works
Jul 20, 2022 by Morgan Housel
If you find something that is true in more than one field, you’ve probably uncovered something particularly important. The more fields it shows up in, the more likely it is to be a fundamental and recurring driver of how the world works.
Take two topics that seemingly have nothing to do with each other: goldfish and tech companies. Take two groups of identical baby fish. Put one in abnormally cold water; the other in abnormally warm water. The fish living in cold water will grow slower than normal, while those in warm water will grow faster than normal.
Put both groups back in regular temperature water and they’ll eventually converge to become normal, full-sized adults.
Then the magic happens.

If you find something that is true in more than one field, you’ve probably uncovered something particularly important. The more fields it shows up in, the more likely it is to be a fundamental and recurring driver of how the world works.
Take two topics that seemingly have nothing to do with each other: goldfish and tech companies. Take two groups of identical baby fish. Put one in abnormally cold water; the other in abnormally warm water. The fish living in cold water will grow slower than normal, while those in warm water will grow faster than normal.
Put both groups back in regular temperature water and they’ll eventually converge to become normal, full-sized adults.
Then the magic happens.
Fish with slowed-down growth in their early days go on to live 30% longer than average. Those with artificial super-charged growth early on die 15% earlier than average.
That’s what biologists from University of Glasgow found.
The cause isn’t complicated. Super-charged growth can cause permanent tissue damage and “may only be achieved by diversion of resources away from maintenance and repair of damaged biomolecules.” Slowed-down growth does the opposite, “allowing an increased allocation to maintenance and repair.”
“You might well expect a machine built in haste to fail quicker than one put together carefully and methodically, and our study suggests that this may be true for bodies too,” one of the researchers wrote.
The same thing has been found in humans. And in birds. And in rats.
And isn’t it the same in business?
Chamath Palihapitiya once noted that however fast your business grows, that’s the half-life for how quickly it can be destroyed. So many companies, flush with cheap money from previous years, are learning this right now. Every business and every industry has a natural growth rate – push beyond it and short-term growth comes at the cost of long-term quality, and eventually survival.
When the limits of fast growth impact goldfish and rats the same way it limits tech companies, you know you’ve found an essential part of how the world works, and will continue working in the future.
John Muir once said, “When we try to pick out anything by itself we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” Fields are studied individually, but there are so many common denominators across topics. The more fields a lesson applies to, and the more disparate those fields are, the more powerful and important the lesson becomes.
It might sound crazy, but once you understand the basic principles of your profession, you might gain more expertise by reading around your field than within your field. Connecting dots between fields helps you uncover the most powerful forces that guide how the world works, which can be so much more important than a little new detail that’s specific to your profession.
And if you look hard enough, there are so many dots to connect.
Here’s another.
Part of the second law of thermodynamics is that you get the most efficiency out of a system when the hottest heat source meets the coldest sink – that’s when an engine will waste the least amount of heat, converting as much energy into power as it can.
And isn’t it the same in business and careers?
A genius entering a crowded and competitive field may find a little success, but put her in a “cold” industry full of idiots and she’ll create a monopoly, destroying competitors. Jeff Bezos famously said “your margin is my opportunity,” which is the same concept. The biggest opportunities happen when a hot talent meets a cold industry. Thermodynamics has proven this since the beginning of the universe – no one should doubt how true and powerful it is.

Notes From the Field By Simon Black July 15, 2022
It’s rare to find someone, anyone, who has yet to witness, hear about, or directly experience the devastating consequences of the supposed leadership that ‘experts’ have unleashed on us over the past few years. They have engineered and mishandled crisis after crisis after crisis…
The world over, from California to Sri Lanka, people everywhere are suffering from their incompetence.
Western Europe is on the verge of a major energy crisis; the 4th-largest economy in the world (Germany) is dimming its street lights and thinking about firing up its coal power plants (previously considered UNTHINKABLE!) because they're running out of energy.
Even in Texas, which could be considered the world's 10th-largest economy by GDP, the independent energy grid is so fragile that power companies are remotely turning down people’s home thermostats to save on energy supply.
We have also just seen a leaked hour+ video showing the 'authorities' in Uvalde, Texas-- fully armed law enforcement professionals-- ignoring the literal screams of dying children only a few dozen feet away. Instead they texted on their phones and sanitized their hands. You know, because of Covid. I guess that was the priority.
All of this is an utter indictment of how pitifully our experts and authorities have betrayed us. In short, the people in charge broke the world.
But the good news is that their reign of ineptitude is rapidly coming to an end. That much is obvious. And even better, there are a lot of solutions and technologies on the horizon that could make this all go away relatively quickly... just as soon as they get out of the way.

“Their outcomes seemed to center on the fact that Crowhurst was addicted to what other people thought of his accomplishments, while Moitessier was disgusted by them. One lived for external benchmarks, the other only cared about internal measures of happiness.”
Fifty-four years ago this month, in a push for publicity, The Sunday Times offered £5,000 to whoever could sail solo nonstop around the world the fastest. It was technically a race, but that was an afterthought, as no one had ever completed the feat. There were no qualification requirements and few rules. Nine men joined the race, one of whom had never sailed. Just one man finished, 312 days and 27,000 miles later. But it was two participants who never completed the race that generated the most news. One ended up dead, the other found himself happier than ever. Both outcomes came from decisions made at sea, but neither had anything to do with sailing.

Fifty-four years ago this month, in a push for publicity, The Sunday Times offered £5,000 to whoever could sail solo nonstop around the world the fastest.

One ended up dead, the other found himself happier than ever. Both outcomes came from decisions made at sea, but neither had anything to do with sailing.
The two men, Donald Crowhurst and Bernard Moitessier, are astounding examples of how the quality of your life is shaped by whom you want to impress. Their stories are extreme, but what they dealt with was just a magnified version of what ordinary people face all the time, and likely something you’re facing right now.
Donald Crowhurst was a tinkerer who came up with his own boat modifications. Convinced his innovations could propel him to win the Sunday Times race, he faced just one obstacle: he was broke, and stood no chance of financing the race himself.
Crowhurst struck a deal with an English businessman who agreed to cover the cost of the race under two conditions: They would orchestrate a media frenzy, portraying Crowhurst as a sailing savant. And if Crowhurst didn’t finish, he would owe all the money back.
Crowhurst left Teignmouth on October 31st, 1968, the last day participants of the race could begin their voyage. His boat, the Electron, had been so heavily modified, so weighed down with half-finished gizmos and gimmicks, that it was barely seaworthy for a short sail near home, let alone a solo trip around the globe. Crowhurst knew it. He broke down in tears in front of his wife the night before he left.
Two weeks into the race, as Crowhurst had covered less than half his intended distance, the Electron sprung a leak. “This bloody boat is just falling to pieces due to lack of attention to engineering detail,” Crowhurst wrote in his diary. In the calm waters of the South Atlantic, the small leak posed little threat and could be bailed with a bucket. But continuing on to the treacherous Southern Ocean would bring certain catastrophe.
So Crowhurst seemed to have two options: Continue the race and face ruin at sea, or return home and face bankruptcy and humiliation.
He in fact chose a third option, which was outright fraud.
By mid-November Crowhurst began loitering in the south Atlantic, drifting in circles in calm water. He then began sending fake coordinates back to England, giving the impression that he was still on track, rounding Cape Horn, on his way to circle the globe.
He went virtually nowhere for months, which was the plan: By mid-summer, when enough time had passed to have plausibly circled the globe, Crowhurst hoped to quietly sail back to England, “finish” the race, and hope no one noticed that during his round-the-world voyage he never actually left the hemisphere.
As Crowhurst sailed back to England he realized he did not want to appear to win the race, because if he did the media and judges would scrutinize his logs and uncover the deception, whereas no one cares about the runner-up. After receiving word on the location of other race participants, Crowhurst timed his return so that he would finish the race in third place, which seemed good enough to maintain dignity yet low enough to avoid suspicion.
But then the boat that was in second place sank. And after miscalculating his return time, Crowhurst was suddenly on track to beat the sailor who had been in first place.

There are some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases included "Don’t touch that dial," "Carbon copy," "You sound like a broken record" and "Hung out to dry."

Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We’d put on our best bib and tucker just to straighten up and fly right.
Hubba-hubba! We’d cut a rug in some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hot rods and jalopies in some passion pit or lovers lane.
Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumpin Jehoshaphat! Holy moley! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley, and even a regular guy couldn’t accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. Not for all the tea in China !
Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when’s the last time anything was swell?
Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and pedal pushers. Oh, my aching back. Kilroy was here, but he isnt anymore.
Like Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle and Kurt Vonneguts Billy Pilgrim, we have become unstuck in time. We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, I’ll be a monkeys uncle! or This is a fine kettle of fish!
We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards.
Poof, poof, poof go the words of our youth, the words we’ve left behind. We blink, and they’re gone, evanesced from the landscape and wordscape of our perception, like Mickey Mouse wristwatches, hula hoops, skate keys, candy cigarettes, little wax bottles of colored sugar water and an organ grinders monkey.
Where have all those phrases gone? Long time passing. Pshaw.
The milkman did it. Think about all those starving kids in China. Bigger than a bread box. Banned in Boston . The very idea! It’s your nickel. Dont forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Turn-of-the-century. Iron curtain. Domino theory. Fail safe. Civil defense. Fiddlesticks!
You look like the wreck of the Hesperus. Cooties. Going like sixty. Ill see you inthe funny papers. Dont take any wooden nickels. Heavens to Murgatroyd! And awa-a-ay we go (not to mention humunah, humunah, humunah!)
Oh, my stars and garters! It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter had liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff,
This winking out of the words of our youth, these words that lodge in our hearts deep core. But just as one never steps into the same river twice, one cannot step into the same language twice. Even as one enters, words are swept downstream into the past, forever making a different river.
We, of a certain age, have been blessed to live in changeful times. For a child, each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age.
We at the other end of the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering there are words that once did not exist and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective memory.
Its one of the greatest advantages of aging. We can have our cake and eat it, too.
See ya later, alligator!
When Insults Had Class

Global Crisis On Verge Breaking Out
.Global Crisis On Verge Breaking Out
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
Bubbles Always Burst
Debt has grown, due to massive deficit spending programmes that have destroyed all financial obligations. So there is no other way out of this misery than to abolish all paper currency!
People need to know that the game is rigged; the Central Banks are deliberately ruining faith and trust in their currencies. That means the end of the global financial system.
Until people wake up and recognise what is happening, the world will never be able to end this ridiculous game. Mr. Market is having his say. He always does. Underneath the fake market, created by artificial intervention, lies a market of real buyers and real sellers.
Global Crisis On Verge Breaking Out
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
Bubbles Always Burst
Debt has grown, due to massive deficit spending programmes that have destroyed all financial obligations. So there is no other way out of this misery than to abolish all paper currency!
People need to know that the game is rigged; the Central Banks are deliberately ruining faith and trust in their currencies. That means the end of the global financial system.
Until people wake up and recognise what is happening, the world will never be able to end this ridiculous game. Mr. Market is having his say. He always does. Underneath the fake market, created by artificial intervention, lies a market of real buyers and real sellers.
At some point, supply exceeds demand. Then the smartest businessmen get worried. They quietly make their way to the exit. Then the next smartest ones notice that the geniuses have left – and they too start heading for the exit. Then the short sellers come. Prices fall. And soon the market is in free fall.
It happens all the time. Bubbles burst without question. It happened with the dotcoms, with housing, with subprime mortgage companies, with oil and with the oil debts. We are now in what appears to be the last gasp. It may go on for a while … even go a little further. Often a boom of this magnitude needs an all-consuming, last-stage, a ‘super-duper‘ before it explodes!
How Can Less Earned Money Pay For More Debt Repayment?
It is a guess – just a guess – that another big shock may follow before the final peak of the equity bubble is reached. – Expect a frightening fall – a quick response from the Central Banks – and then the great race to ruin will have begun, i.e. entered its ‘Final Lone Round’.
Without more real income growth, the huge debt cannot be paid off. So, in the end, everything will go down. How can less money earned produce more money to pay the debt that should have led to higher incomes?
You can ask the same question of the folks who bought $500 billions of subprime debt from the energy sector, or those who bought €1 trillion of European peripheral government debt. Or “investors” in $4 trillion of emerging market debt? The answer is the same everywhere: they can’t do it!
Almost every developed economy has followed the same path from debt to more debt.
“The developed world added $50 trillion to its debt burden in the first eight years of the 21st century. As a result, the debt-to-GDP ratio has risen from 260% to 390%.”
Households have tried to shake off the burden of debt. But government and businesses have borrowed more than ever. Now the debt-to-GDP ratio is 415%, adding another $15 trillion. Logic, mathematics and experience tell us that too much debt – not supported by higher real incomes – will collapse on the heads of the people below. When? That is the only question that cannot be answered now.
But here is an overview of what to expect in the coming months, as a result of the above facts:
** The stock market will fall sharply and may eventually reach 3,300 – 3,800 before another prolonged bull market begins.
** Unemployment will rise to 15% or more as the labour pool continues to shrink and companies prefer people with experience, not newcomers.
** House prices will fall again, by as much as 50%…. the so-called “recovery” will abate faster than expected as mortgage rates rise and the wrong set of investors – also known as speculators – lose interest in the market.
** With continuing demographic decline, economic problems and crisis, many states and municipalities will be short of income, especially at lower levels.
** Faced with huge revenue shortfalls, government deficits are going up.
** The crisis in Europe is only getting worse as the housing bubble bursts, more banks are collapsing in every Member State of the European Union, which are also sliding over the demographic cliff and declining rapidly, with Germany the biggest surprise.
** Despite the lessons learned in 2008, mortgage companies and financial institutions have started offering low-interest promotional loans with no repayment obligation, riskier investments, which will lead directly to a new and final financial crisis, this time without a bailout.
Research suggests that the effects of these events will reach a climax quite soon. Before that happens, “the market will tend to rise. Many investors will make the mistake of thinking that the recession is over – that markets will be buzzing with life again.
Boom Economies Produce Excesses
All boom economies have produced excesses, whether it is excessive spending and debt by homeowners caused by the misguided belief that house prices will go up forever – developers building too much, hiring too many people with the belief that their market will continue to grow forever – “or twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings making two, three and ten million dollars a year moving money on Wall Street”.
The bigger the boom, the bigger the excesses, and the longer it takes to shake them out of the system. And at almost 50 years, this latest boom is the longest since the post-war economic revolution.
The biggest credit bubble in modern history is causing Deflation, not Inflation, which is on the horizon. Here is why deflation – not inflation – will be the order of the day.
History shows that severe recessions and depressions have three phases;
** A severe crash, as we saw from late 2007 to early 2009, when the Dow fell 55%, from 14,280 to 6,440.
** A market recovery, stimulated by renewed economic activity as a result of government stimulus measures. That’s where we are now.
** And a final crash, deeper depression, and a deflationary phase lasting several years.
Most of us have experienced some kind of deflation in recent years, especially in wages. Once credit bubbles go to extremes, they always burst and deflate – resulting in a sudden tightening of the money supply (credit) – followed by deflation as massive debts are written off and financial wealth disappears as markets crash.
It happened in the 1930s. It happened again in Japan. Because no government can stop that kind of overwhelming debt with any kind of stimulus without making its currency worthless. Which will probably happen this time as this economic cycle continues to unfold.
Final Chapter Of Biggest Real Estate Shake Out
The world is about to see the final chapter of the biggest real estate shake out in history. One of the classic rules of bubbles is that they usually deflate to at least the level at which they started – and often a little lower.
That means that “house prices must fall 55% to 65% from their highs in 2005. House prices could fall back to 2000 levels, or even 1990 levels. As a result, as many as half of the homes would fall into “negative equity” – “which will again increase the number of defaults and foreclosures.”
These economic truths combine to form the components of the perfect storm raging through the economy today.
The last of the greatest generation of spenders in history – the affluent baby boomers – are leaving their prime spending years behind…. Deflation will increasingly become the dominant trend as the economy slows and debts fall apart….
The consequences of these events all lead to one thing: a severe tightening of credit – and the write-off of tens of trillions in loans and claims. That means less money in the system – less spending – less demand – falling prices – and ultimately: Depression and deflation.
This is the reality of today’s economy – and the likely path it will take, based on examination of historical and empirical data.
People all over the world have taken it for granted that money is a worthless piece of paper, an absolutely insane collective delusion that we are forced to believe.
Hundreds of years ago, people travelling accepted banknotes called traveller’s cheques because they believed the banks that issued them had a good reputation. Once these cheques were presented to a local bank, notes were returned to them in the local currency, with no central authority to authenticate them. But today, people do not think that way. They believe that a government is needed to ensure the value of money.
Real money, however, is based on natural characteristics, such as being intrinsically valuable, durable, divisible, uniform, portable, scarce and widely accepted. These characteristics are essential for a medium of exchange to be accepted as a fair standard for payments, which is not the case with currencies issued by Central Banks today.
Unlike central bank currencies, gold has always been valuable, whereas today’s debt money is someone else’s burden, backed by unreliable promises that ultimately cannot be kept.
Money backed by debt is a crime against humanity. It was invented by Mayer Amschel Rothschild and is based on the fact that money is a flow of energy – also known as currency – generated from the combination of raw materials, goods, services, and human labour.
The Rothschilds developed a global slave labour system by issuing debt money through their privately owned central banking system infiltrated in every country. Because the flow of money was designed to be funnelled back to them, this gave them a powerful opportunity to be the first to intervene in financial and economic control.
By controlling the flow of money and bribing governments, they have made their worthless debt money equal to the people’s energy money, which is a fraud of scandalous proportions.
By having this accepted, the Rothschild money changers have transferred the valuable energy of the people’s labour to themselves.
Money created out of nothing and backed by debt should not buy valuables, because it is a fraud. As long as the illusion exists that “debt money” has value, and we sheep continue to consent to this illusion by participating in it, we will not be freed from our debt bondage.
When people wake up and realise that most banks are not only bankrupt but corrupt as well, they will switch en masse to gold as a means of payment, just as they have done for centuries. Read more about it here.
Our choice determines the future
We have arrived at the most important crossroad in world history; our choices will determine the course of the future. On the one hand, the continuation of the Deep State power control structure is on its way to erasing our freedoms, as we can now see happening with the wearing of masks, social distancing and travel restrictions, designed to crush our morale and end our prosperity step by step.
On the other side is the creative termination of corrupt governments and politicians of the Deep State, leading us to prosperity, freedom and friendship.
This will be the most important collective decision we have to make at this time.
Soon we will see all paper and electronic forms of debt of wealth evaporate, levelling the playing field to implement GESARA with the new gold/asset backed monetary system known as the Quantum Financial System (QFS), free from any institutional interference.
It will be a completely new future for everyone on Earth, one built on truth, honesty, creativity, friendship and complete freedom.

Giant Credit Bubble About To Burst!
.Giant Credit Bubble About To Burst!
The Final Wake Up Call By Peter B Meyer
The scam is embedded in the balance sheet expansion
The world is in a structural depression and will remain so. All the money injected has not ended the financial crisis, although it has not hurt the economy as such, it has only affected asset and property prices.
No credit-based money system has ever survived an entire credit cycle, and this one will be no exception. The bubble created by this generation’s unprecedented spending spree could not be sustained because the people who were first encouraged to spend are now saving. Worse still, they are no longer borrowing for major purchases; the very action that most affected spending. Like all bubbles, this one must burst!

The bubble created by this generation’s unprecedented spending spree could not be sustained because the people who were first encouraged to spend are now saving. Worse still, they are no longer borrowing for major purchases; the very action that most affected spending. Like all bubbles, this one must burst!
The Cabal Party Is Over And Done With!
The world’s three major central banks – the US, Europe and Japan – have embarked on a huge financial experiment. They have created a gigantic amount of money out of thin air and used it to buy staggering amounts of government debt. The US central bank holds a stack of bonds equal to 20% of US gross domestic product (GDP). The Japanese central bank’s debt is 40% of GDP. Europe’s central bank holds bonds worth nearly $4 trillion, or more than 25% of its GDP.
Total world debt including derivatives is more than 1 quadrillion (1015)! What is certain is that there is no way out of this debt mess. When the financial system collapses, nothing will change in the real world. No property, land, factories or human being will disappear, just because trillions of debt slavery instruments called US Dollars, Euros, Yen, etc. are erased from bank computers. There will be forces to restart the system based on a people-controlled substitute called QFS, owned by and for the people and not by banks.
The Public Understanding Of Fraud Has Not Even Awakened Yet
The public has not even begun to understand the immense fraud it embodies. In round figures, this official counterfeiting amounts to $5.5 trillion – the difference between the Fed’s balance sheet of about $900 billion when its “extraordinary policies” were launched at the time of the Lehman crisis in 2008 and its $4.4 trillion balances today. That is a lot of something for nothing.
It is a grotesque amount of fraud. The scam in this monumental balance sheet expansion is nothing compared to the hidden indirect way in which central banks provided new reserves to the banking system that affected the private lending process.
As now is evident, new credits issued by the Central Banks can result in the expansion of private credit to the extent that the fractional reserve money multiplier of 10 is operating or simply generate excess reserves which cycle back to the Central Banks – as in the present instance is not the case. The party is over. Stock, bond, and real estate prices go back to 1950 levels where they came from.
The Fed has already signalled that it will not sell its roughly $4.5 trillion bond portfolio, or even let it expire by natural causes. In the normal course of events, these bonds would mature and then – as we all will – disappear. But the Fed will reinvest maturing funds in new issues.” In other words, it will continue to suck up new bonds in order to keep interest rates low.
An Economy Based On Debt Needs More And More Debt-Money
An economy dependent on debt needs more and more of it to keep running. A lot of credit may help at first, but later it hurts an economy. As debt grows, it becomes harder for the economy to grow, because the resources needed in the future have already been used up in the past.
Currently, there are about USD 250 billions of 10- to 15-year bonds in circulation in the US, of which the US central bank owns more than half. Similarly, the Fed owns almost half of all Treasury bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer.
By lowering the yield on long-term bonds, the Fed has artificially lowered the cost of capital by an incredible amount. And by making borrowing much cheaper, the Fed has enabled virtually all borrowers to access the bond markets. This is evidenced by record high issuance and record low nominal yields in the high-yield – “junk” bond markets. At the beginning of this year, companies added $30 billion of debt to their balance sheets – a record.
But with interest rates rising, the show is over, it is a matter of months, if not weeks, before the collapse becomes a reality, followed by the introduction of the QFS money system, owned by the people. The cabal must destroy itself first, to be sure their party is over.
Financial Bubble Grown Exponentially
A giant bubble has formed in emerging market debt. “A brilliant New York hedge fund manager pointed out that between 2009 and 2012, nearly $400 billion flowed into emerging market credit markets – about four times the average interest rate in the previous decade. And this bubble has not shrunk, but grown exponentially!
Three simple questions
How can we have capitalism when the cost of capital is essentially zero?
How can we have capitalism if there is no bankruptcy?
How can capitalism work if there are no risks or downsides?
Of course capitalism does not work. There is a huge misallocation of capital and a huge increase in unhealthy speculation. That greater credit creates bubbles which can’t last forever…
Economists who claim to know how all this will end are lying. Nobody knows how or when it will end. Not even former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan. What he said was frightening:
“He said that central banks have no idea what they are doing and that they will not be able to control the inflation that will inevitably result from this huge experiment.”
The world has entered the final round of a huge global bubble. The banks have kept it all afloat with the printing press. But it cannot go on like this forever. Credit structures are in place all over the world that can only function as long as central banks continue to buy up debt.
Central banks have proven themselves adept at maintaining these ridiculous credit structures. But there is a price. Sooner or later, something will break… because capitalism doesn’t work if there is no cost of capital.
With the ‘unintended’ (?) consequence of a huge decrease in liquidity worldwide. Sooner or later, this is going to be a big problem for countries like Turkey and Brazil, which have foreign debt in dollars. Turkey owes foreign investors $386 billion – roughly half of its GDP. About $160 billions of these debts must be repaid in the coming months. And unlike the US, Japan or Europe, Turkey cannot simply push these obligations under the carpet. This trap is probably intentional, as the cabal is now able to confiscate Turkish commodities, as regular readers may recall.
Russia Bought Gold
Once central banks promised price stability, and were prepared to raise interest rates to 5, 6, 7, and even 8 per cent to keep prices stable. Now they say stable prices are dangerous! This makes the world the best place ever for gold.
More than that, the days the US-dollar is the world’s reserve currency are numbered. When the dollar is no longer accepted as a reserve currency, which is slowly happening, now, as Russia and the BRICS move away from US dollars and into currencies backed by gold. – Eventually everything will be gold backed!
Russia’s gold purchases in 2014 were 59% of central bank purchases in the third quarter of 2014. Russia and China have now converted their foreign exchange dollars into gold. In contrast to western economies, Russia has accumulated only a small national debt over the years, implying that this will not be a drag on future growth, as is likely to be the case in the US, EU and Japan. Russia also has an advantageous tax system, with maximum income tax of up to 13%.
Now, Putin has decided to back his currency with gold, this has become painful for the US dollar, as now the USD faces competition from a credible gold-backed currency; it is likely that other central banks are diversifying their dollar reserves into interest-bearing, gold-backed roubles.
Countries that import oil and gas from Russia should have an additional incentive to follow suit in order to pay for Russian oil/gas imports in roubles and avoid sanctions.
The indirect upward pressure on interest rates in the US is small at the moment, but the current rise in interest rates in the US means future problems for the American economy that relies on low interest rates.
Growth will slow down. The Fed may try to compensate by re-introducing QE but that will add fuel to the fire, resulting in aggressive selling of US dollars on foreign exchange markets. In an extreme but hardly impossible scenario, the US dollar could lose its reserve status, something that would be devastating for the US economy.
Gold is the ideal way for countries to settle their trade imbalances in a world where there is no confidence in the stability of currencies, and gold obviates the need for a reserve currency.
Building up reserves that can be immediately devalued by trading partners in a currency war is not a rational policy. Yet something must act as a reserve currency if trade is to take place at all. Gold is that “something”, if the quantity is kept stable, a currency cannot be devalued arbitrarily. And it is the QFS money system that fulfils all these requirements.

Knowledge Is Not Understanding
.Knowledge Is Not Understanding
By Lawrence Yeo
The pursuit of knowledge is heralded as a virtue, but the attainment of understanding is far more important.
To explain what I mean here, we have to first delve into the difference between knowledge and understanding. On its surface, it may seem like a game of semantics, but if you explore this further, you’ll see that the nuances make all the difference.
The first question to address is: How do we attain knowledge?
Well, there are many ways we can approach this question, but a good place to start would be the current educational system.
Knowledge Is Not Understanding
By Lawrence Yeo
The pursuit of knowledge is heralded as a virtue, but the attainment of understanding is far more important. To explain what I mean here, we have to first delve into the difference between knowledge and understanding. On its surface, it may seem like a game of semantics, but if you explore this further, you’ll see that the nuances make all the difference.
The first question to address is: How do we attain knowledge?
Well, there are many ways we can approach this question, but a good place to start would be the current educational system.
When you’re given a textbook, you’re effectively given a history of discoveries. It doesn’t matter what the content of that book may be: psychology, math, philosophy, linguistics, whatever. What you have in there is a distillation of theories and findings that other humans have happened upon.
In other words, you have a long recounting of experiences that are not your own. And in order for these experiences to make sense for the everyday student, they need to be compressed into a digestible format. A great textbook plays the game of simplification, not complexity. The more these experiences can be communicated as stories, the greater the likelihood that they’ll be adopted for mass market use.
Textbooks And Making Money
So any textbook you read has the forces of compression and incentives embedded into it. The removal of complexity and the generation of profit guide the distribution of knowledge, however subtly it may be.
What this means is that the way we absorb knowledge is dependent upon what others have deemed valuable. The scholars that put together these textbooks decide what pieces of information to include, and market forces determine which textbooks make it to each school. What the student is left with is the result of this piecemealing and marketing that has disguised itself as truth.
In this form, knowledge is not understanding. It’s merely an abstracted version of someone else’s lived experience; symbols on a page that attempt to summarize the nuances of each discovery.
So this begs the question: What, then, is understanding?
Well, true understanding can only be attained through personal experience. It’s when you viscerally feel the implications of your decisions and actions, and see how they ripple through other human beings. It’s when you realize that the profundity of what you read may not translate properly into the messy sphere of reality.
I was talking to someone the other day and she mentioned the idea of a “dumb smart person,” and I laughed upon hearing it. Essentially, it’s a funny way of articulating the difference between knowledge and understanding.
We all know the person that aced their way through school, got a prestigious job, but can’t hold a substantive conversation to save their lives. Or someone that makes a lot of money but has left behind a trail of broken relationships.
