Gold Will Skyrocket When the Fed Makes This Announcement

From Peter Reagan

This week, Your News to Know rounds up the latest top stories involving gold and the overall economy. Stories include: All that gold needs is a cowardly Fed, current monetary supply levels suggest gold is undervalued, and what a gold standard would require in modern times.

When the Fed capitulates, gold will skyrocket

The consensus is in: gold can’t shatter its former all-time highs until the Federal Reserve does.

We have as much uncertainty in the global financial markets as gold could need to stage a breakout. Stocks, bonds, housing. Even the U.S. dollar itself (which is the cause of gold’s woes) is flashing warning signals.

The consensus is, a Fed policy shift is needed to let gold rise once again. The debate now shifts to either when or, sometimes if, depending on the analyst.

In a recent interview, five-decade market veteran Alasdair Macleod reveals he’s a member of the when camp. Some analysts expect the Fed to continue hiking rates for an undetermined amount of time – subsequently, Macleod thinks the shift from monetary tightening to a “neutral” monetary policy could catch some by surprise.

CBDCs – The Pied Piper

Guest Post by Jeff Thomas

Central Bank Digital Currencies

We all know the story: The Pied Piper has a magic flute that, when played by the piper, saves the people of Hamelin from a rat epidemic. When the townspeople fail to pay him for his services, he uses the flute to attract their children away.

In modern nomenclature, a pied piper is described as “a metaphor for a person who attracts a following through charisma or false promises.”

And that leads us to a discussion of Central Bank Digital Currencies, or CBDCs.

As recently as ten years ago, when writing on the possibility of digital currencies being introduced, the idea was so novel (or perhaps so abhorrent) that my predictions on the subject were considered to be fanciful. Yet, by 2016, announcements were being made by governments that digital currencies were “under consideration.” Continue reading “CBDCs – The Pied Piper”

Power Blackout Risks Loom For Quarter Of All Americans

Via ZeroHedge

The US heating season has officially begun, and new warnings show that a quarter of all Americans could experience energy emergencies this winter if temperatures fall below average due to tight fossil fuel supplies.

Power grids from the Great Lakes to Louisiana, New England, Carolinas, and all of Texas are the most at risk for power supply shortfalls during high-demand periods, according to Bloomberg, citing a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a regulatory body that manages grid stability.

NERC said a cold snap for an extended period could spark grid strain due to soaring power demand from households and businesses. This would cause supplies of natural gas, coal, and backup diesel generators to draw down more quickly and possibly experience shortages.

“The trend is we see more areas at risk, we see more retirements of critical generation, fuel challenges and we are doing everything we can. 

“These challenges don’t kind of appear out of nowhere,” John Moura, NERC’s director of reliability assessment, said during a media briefing.

The Covid/Crypto Connection: The Grim Saga of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried

Guest Post by Jeffrey A. Tucker

covid connection crypto

A series of revealing texts and tweets by Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced CEO of FTX, the once high-flying but now belly-up crypto exchange, had the following to say about his image as a do-gooder: it is a “dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us.”

Very interesting. He had the whole game going: a vegan worried about climate change, supports every manner of justice (racial, social, environmental) except that which is coming for him, and shells out millions to worthy charities associated with the left. He also bought plenty of access and protection in D.C., enough to make his shady company the toast of the town.

As part of the mix, there is this thing called pandemic planning. We should know what that is by now: it means you can’t be in charge of your life because there are bad viruses out there. As bizarre as it seems, and for reasons that are still not entirely clear, favoring lockdowns, masks, and vaccine passports became part of the woke ideological stew.

A Cryptocurrency Criminal Conspiracy Exposes Yet Another Democrat Scheme For Stealing Elections

Submitted by The Armchair Crypto Analyst

Let’s be very clear: the “FTX-Alameda Mega Scandal” is no ordinary financial scam or crazy crypto con or money laundering operation or campaign finance crime spree.

Yes, it is all of these, but it’s also something so HUGE that this post will only expose the tip of the iceberg—an immense iceberg representing an election stealing enterprise involving the Biden Administration, Ukrainian Government, Democrat Party, U.S. Intelligence Community, Securities and Exchange Commission, Cryptocurrency Industry, among many other BIG players.

That this whole thing was blown wide open on November 7th — only one day before Election Day — is certainly no coincidence. A close look at all the names who are involved, both directly and indirectly, distinctly reflects a “cohencidence’.  That this crypto scam further blew up on November 9th, the day after Election Day, is certainly a sign of poetic justice. That FTX declared bankruptcy on November 11th was the icing on this cake of truly Kafkaesque corruption and criminality.

A Smoldering Fuse

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

We have pretty much burned our bridges at this point. Unless you’re prepared to mindfuck yourself, and gaslight yourself, and confess, and convert, there’s no going back to “normal” society (which we couldn’t go back to anyway, on account of how it doesn’t exist anymore) — CJ Hopkins

The best new normal is the old abnormal memes :) Memedroid

Thirty-seven billion more dollars for Ukraine? (That’s thirty-seven thousand millions of dollars, by the way.) Bringing the total this year to a click-or-two over ninety billion (ninety-thousand millions), on top of whatever Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX company funneled through that sad-sack international money laundromat — soon to be the darkest backwater of a European failed state since Field Marshal Melchior von Hatzfeldt of Westphalia left Bohemia a corpse-strewn wasteland after the Battle of Jankau (1645).

In Arizona the Election Was Slowly Stolen Day by Day

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Many Americans are easily intimidated and let the presstitutes control their beliefs.  But Trump supporters are not easily intimidated.  This is why Democrats hate them and demonize them as “Trump Deplorables,” “white supremacists,” and “domestic terrorists.”  Democrats are determined to stamp into the ground those Americans whose belief they cannot control..

In this interview with Rep. Marjorie Greene, Alex Jones shows news clip after news clip of the presstitutes declaring, as if it were a fact, that it is normal for elections to take days to count the votes.  This is a blatant lie.  All my life, until recent  Democrat “reforms” and Diebold electronic machines that can be programmed to count votes differently from how they are cast, the election vote was known by the time you went to bed and if not by then by the next morning.

G20 Pushes Vaccine Passports For All Future International Travel

Per Hardscrabble Farmer – “REFUGEES EXCLUDED”

Via ZeroHedge

The G20 has issued a formal decree promoting vaccine passports as preparation for any future pandemic response in its final communique. Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin, speaking on the matter on behalf of the G20 host country, had earlier in the summit called for a “digital health certificate” using WHO standards.

Sadikin advocated for that he dubbed a “digital health certificate” which shows whether a person has been “vaccinated or tested properly” so that only then “you can move around”. Watch his comments during a G20 Bali panel discussion earlier in the week…

A somewhat more vaguely-worded version of these recommendations was included in the official G20 leaders’ declaration, which calls for digital COVID-19 certificates, or often simply called vaccine passports.

Citizen reporting beats legacy media on a crucial, complex story (yet again)

While the New York Times et al offer puffery on Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX collapse, expert outsiders sift through the wreckage and get to the truth; this is Twitter and Substack at their best

Elon Musk was proud of his $44 billion baby this morning.

Musk is right.

Fourteen years ago, when Bernie Madoff’s massive hedge fund collapsed, the New York Times and other elite media aggressively dug into what had happened – and why and how regulators had failed to stop it. I know – I was part of the Times team.
