Gold is back at All Time Highs (ATH) around the world. The global financial system appears to be breaking down, hence continued Central Bank buying of gold. Retail buying in gold is continuing in parts of Asia and there are signs of panic buying (Indonesia), see more below. Germany is panicked and want their complete gold supply returned from the United States. Silver hoarders are frustrated that the price suppression has reached ridiculous levels.
Gold trading in Korea quadruples amid relentless global rally

Gold prices are soaring as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid escalating global trade tensions. In South Korea, where the gold rush has reached a fever pitch, daily trading volume has quadrupled, according to market data.
Gold-Trading Frenzy Erupts in China as Tensions With US Escalate
Bloomberg, April 14 2025
China saw an explosive surge in gold trading last week as the metal hit successive records and Sino-US trade tensions rose.
The Shanghai Futures Exchange saw trading volumes of the precious metal hit the highest level in a year last week. That
was thanks to investors and industry players — refineries, traders and retailers — that have ramped up hedging activities as
global markets yrate in response to trade policy changes in the US and China.
Demand for gold is strengthening, with investors seeking safety as a new trade war unfolds between the world’s top two
economies. The precious metal could reach $4,000 an ounce next year — about 25% above current levels — amid a wave of
purchasing by central banks and recession risks, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
The buying frenzy in China has seen prices move to a premium of around $20 an ounce over international prices, reversing
Comment: As I have already reported, Chinese people are allowed to have gold accounts, which means banks have to buy gold to keep up with demand.
Indonesians rush to gold as rupiah and stocks plunge amid US tariff worries
Reuters, April 9, 2025
JAKARTA, April 9 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Indonesians are flocking to buy gold bars, betting that the precious metal's value could shield them from tougher economic times ahead as the currency and the stock market tumble in South East Asia's largest economy.
Indonesia is among dozens of countries affected by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, which took effect on Wednesday and have sent shockwaves through many economies. The rupiah has already hit historic lows, despite central bank intervention.

Silver’s trading at a 100:1 ratio vs. gold—a 40% discount to its 1980 high. Coincidence? Insiders claim it’s deliberate suppression—govt. players are hoarding silver ahead of a bi-metallic reset!

President Trump is getting blamed for the markets going down. His reciprocal tariffs triggered the fall, but the real reason is the stock market has been going up steadily for way, way too long. Easy money from the Fed has pumped up the markets to stratospheric levels.
Trump warned us there would be economic turbulence when his fair trade tariffs were set in place. No pain, no gain. Trump’s tariffs should have happened many decades ago. Now we’re seeing many countries beginning to drop their tariffs and allow a level trading field with the US.
The stock market drop is necessary and long-needed. It may seem scary to many, but it’s exciting to others.
Hold on for the ride! Don’t be a ‘Panican’

'Biggest Credit Bubble in History' Bursting, How Will GOLD React? Alasdair Macleod
YouTube, 7th April 2025
Alasdair Macleod believes the largest credit bubble in history may have reached its breaking point, as Trump's tariff barrage sends markets plummeting. Gold, and especially silver, cannot escape the carnage in the short term, but how does Alasdair expect both metals to hold up if we enter into full-on bear market territory?

However, Debt Clock messages have stated that the Federal Reserve dollar is being replaced by USA Treasury dollars, so we are waiting for the public funeral. Since there hav been so many surprises, how the conversion to this new USA dollar will transpire is unknown.

Comment: This video reveals major geopolitical events (including wars and attacks) that took place in Snake Years. I had heard about the 2025 being a Snake Year in relation to the stock market at the start of 2025, so the turmoil that started in January, is probably the prelude to an epic crash, just like 1929.
Snake Year Calculations
2025 ===> (2+2+5) ===> 9
2013 ===> (2+1+3) = 6 or (3+3) ===> 6 or 3x3 ===> 9
2001 ===> (2 +1) = 3
1989 ===> (1+8) + 9 + 9 ===> 999
1977 ===> (1+7+7) + 9 = 15+9 = 24 ===> 6
1965 ===> (1+5 = 6) ===> 966
1953 ===> (1+5+3) = 9 ===> 99
1941 ===> (1+4+1) = 6 ===> 96
1929 ===> (1 +2) = 3 + 9 + 9 ===> 399 or 3x99 ===> 999999
1917 ===> (1+1+7) = 9 + 9 ===> 99
Comment: This is my interpretation of why these years are Snake Years.
Well, I have collected a large amount of information on the influence of secret societies with their occult rituals on today's society, but it's on a to-do list for another webpage. So, these Snake Year posts will be moved sometime in the future. Anyway, my current theory is that 3, 6 and 9 are the numbers that most look like snakes, but they also have deeper properties relating to the mysteries of the universe that Tesla discovered.

European Union Citizens Urged to Stockpile Food and Supplies for Emergencies
Europe Must Embrace Preparedness and Resilience
World Insight Info, March 27, 2025
The European Union Commission has issued new guidance urging citizens to stockpile food and other essential supplies. Each household should have enough provisions to sustain them for at least 72 hours in the event of a crisis. This initiative aims to foster a culture of preparedness and resilience across the continent.
The 18-page document highlights the growing risks facing Europe. It warns of Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, sabotage of infrastructure, and electronic warfare. These threats create an urgent need for better crisis management and readiness.

Here are the reasons I invested close to a billion dollars in precious metals over the past six months—including the purchase of 1.5% of the annual global silver supply (12.69 million ounces) :
The global monetary system is about to collapse (The Great Reset, or Basel Endgame).
The biggest credit bubble in history will soon pop ($300T).
There is no way the US can refinance its $28T in maturing treasuries in the next 4 years without an obscene amount of printing.
Trump tariffs are hastening the collapse, and it’s by design.
Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft. Physical possession is everything.
The whole world right now is a sophisticated game of musical chairs; the chairs are precious metals.
Crypto is a psyop. Those who purchase will have no chair when the music stops.
Real estate, crypto, stocks and bonds will all lose significantly compared to precious metals.
The banking system has been meticulously designed to seize your assets to buoy up a collapsing banking sector (see The Great Taking). You have ZERO counter party risk with precious metals.
I’m up 20% already, on most of my purchases.
This is not a drill. Your grandkids someday will either muse or lament this financial decision you’re now faced with. Don’t fail them.

This chart is proof the UK financial system is bleeding out behind the curtain.
The vertical rise in Bank of England short-term repos isn’t normal, it’s a full-blown emergency.
What’s happening:
The BoE is bailing out pension funds and insurance companies at record speed via ST-OMO (Short-Term Open Market Operations).
These institutions are desperate for liquidity—likely due to exposure to long-dated gilts that have collapsed in value as interest rates rose.
This is 2022’s LDI crisis 2.0, but now it’s much bigger and fully opaque.
What this means:
UK pensions are being propped up with secret injections, not fixed.
The public isn’t being told who’s insolvent, because if they were, there would be panic.
The entire UK financial system is being duct-taped together through emergency central bank support.
This is exactly what @SteveBakerFRSA and the Austrian economists warned about:
Fiat systems break silently, until they collapse loudly.
This isn’t a warning anymore.
This is the beginning of the end game.

Comment: I am very tired of clueless people claiming that Trump does not know what he is doing.... We are witnessing a military operation to rescue the world and well before the 2020 election there have been COMMS telling people to buy silver and gold (GOD's MONEY). In the United States, people can even buy gold at Costco and Walmart (see below). We have central banks and countries buying gold, even China is encouraging its citizens to buy gold. Most Asian countries don't have a problem because of their culture of dowries, it's Europe and idiot nations like Canada (no gold) and UK (empty BOE gold vaults?) with their love of fiat currencies based on thin air that has a problem. (Even then, citizens who are clued up have a private stash of gold and/or silver). Anons have claimed that in his last presidency, Trump confiscated at least one huge hoard of gold (besides freezing and selling off assets), due to crimes againsts humanity.... Yet, ignoranti laughed when he signed an Executive Order to create a sovereign wealth fund for the United States. This is all mixed up with the fact that there are 2 United States, only one of which is a defunct bankrupt Corporation.... (See Jan Halper-Hayes GB News interview | 3rd August 2023Link
Information is available to understand the revamped Debt Clock with saved debt clock messages which reveal a new Treasury dollar as the old fiat dollar is almost dead.

Trump has always loved gold and at his Mar A Lago palace has an Arc of the Covenant replica made out of solid gold. Gold is real money and has been the standard for thousands of years (DYOR), the current fiat system is just a bad deviation from financial and fiscal responsibility. That is soon changing.

Global Silver Market Faces Strains as Trump’s Tariffs Hit
Tue, March 18, 2025
(Bloomberg) -- The silver market faces mounting stress as trade-war concerns intensify, with higher rates to borrow metal adding to signs of global dislocation.
A surge in lease rates for the precious metal has become the latest sign of alarm, with anxiety building over the impact of further tariffs from US President Donald Trump. That’s sparked a dash to ship silver into the US in a bid to capture premium prices in New York, possibly causing a squeeze in London.
Precious metals — gold as well as silver — have been upended this year, as Trump challenges the global trade order. That’s spurred demand for havens, and also opened up rare pricing dislocations between key markets. While spot silver has gained about 17% this year — making it one of the best performing commodities — futures in New York have done even better.
Comment: Bloggers are shocked that even Bloomberg is revealing that there is a problem in the silver market. It's only nearly 5 months after the Jerusalem Post warned about a looming historic silver squeeze, see below.

15th March 2025
Since I started this blog just over a year ago, gold and silver have risen ~38% and ~35%, maybe more if you bought well. I have tried to highlight that the financial system can be compared to a game of Jenga and nobody knows when the system will break, but the signs are ominous. Gold and silver held in your own possession are truly outside the financial system and cannot be easily taken to shore up banks during a collapse. Hence, those who are savvy are buying precious metals because they want more security. Due to the artificial and severe suppression of the silver price, Bullion banks are in dire straits and there are reports of desperation.... The general assessment is that the harder the Bullion banks try to push down, the greater the launch to much higher prices. Whatever, the following is just a small selection of recent reports, that indicate that a financial meltdown possibly caused by a black swan event is coming.

Why silver is the new gold
Safe-haven demand and solar panels have sent its price soaring
The Economist, March 5th 2025
It is a fabulous time to be a gold bug. Not long ago, outing yourself as one was a
good way of getting people to back away from you at an investment conference. The
popular image was of someone in possession of their own electricity generator, stacks
of water-purification tablets and several years’ supply of tinned food. Now it just
features a shrewd investor. Since the start of 2023 the shiniest asset’s price has soared by nearly 60% in dollars. That is more than any of the world’s leading share indices—including, after a turbulent couple of weeks, America’s S&P 500.
The Gold Panic at the LBMA
YouTube, 4th March 2025
If you ask mainstream economists, they will tell you that there is plenty of gold in London vaults, that the delivery delays we are currently witnessing are due to nothing more than logistical issues and that any talk of default at the LBMA is pure sensationalism and fearmongering. But the situation appears to be more serious than that. The sudden increase in demand for physical gold in New York, which has drained the liquidity from London, is probably not a one-off event, spurred by the threat of tariffs from the Trump administration. Rather, it is a symptom of a much deeper problem.

Comment: I like the fact we are given some likely scenarios. I note that this finance blogger like many others does not think the gold will be in Fort Knox and it will trigger lots of other countries to audit their gold holdings too. 8/11 talks about a debt jubilee.

NO reason why it can't be both based on the worldwide hoarding of gold taking place.

A GOLDEN CONSPIRACY? Fascinating Email Regarding The Gold Market
February 12, 2025
February 12 (King World News) – Email from a KWN reader: Regarding the email about the game changer of standing for delivery I’d like to explain a greater theory of gold.
Great Britain was the wealthiest empire ever, it financed the US railways and largely owned US industry for example. Yet pre war it purportedly owned 40% of the USA (I majored in economic history and this is what was said) yet by 1950s had lost everything. This seems unlikely. Clearly from a state level this was true but underlying wealth? Unlikely too. You are no doubt aware of the notion that DC, the Vatican and the City of London are independent states. Owned I believe by a group that dates back 3000 years.
Jan Halper-Hayes has long stated that Trump emptied the Vatican of “trucks of gold”. As to America holders of paper gold in the early 70s took out so much gold from the USA that Nixon had to say enough is enough. Lord Cromer the British ambassador was sent packing when he demanded UK’s paper to be honoured in physical gold. We know that Fort Knox has not been audited since.
The big question who was able to get their gold from the Fed before Nixon closed the gold window? One theory (impossible to prove) is that it was the entity “City of London Corporation” as well as the “Vatican” that swapped their paper for gold before the gold window was closed. Therefore there is an enormous stash in London that is not part of the official gold holdings and not known about. Those in the know (assume Trump et al) know exactly where that gold went. They went for the Vatican stash first and soon the City of London stash will also be confiscated. Meanwhile the rush to convert paper gold into physical gold has started, will continue unabated and this will push the price up to $40,000 imho. Helped by the fact that the bullion banks including the fed and some central banks are short.
Of course these Babylonian gold holdings will be the foundation of a new gold backed currency. Perhaps even this year.
Best regards
John Smith
Comment: I agree this is an interesting email. It is known that a White Hat military campaign exists to save the world and help deliver A Golden Age for humanity. Basically, operations are carries out in secret and then later some information is given out. Obviously, there are many instances of suspicious explosions and fires in major cities, but besides some quiet COMMS, this is mostly covered up by the mainstream media run by the Cabal who are now near total defeat. Regardless, this is the first time I have come across anyone mentioning a huge gold stash held in London outside of the LBMA and Bank of England. (Yes, I have heard of Templar gold, but can't find my references).

Comment: OK. This Bank of England deputy governor gave a very nervous response to the question of why there was a delay to gold delivery from the vaults. In fact the excuses were pathetic, like gold is heavy and there was a lorry in the bullion yard blocking my entrance... Yes he said that! Most replies in the comments think there is no gold.....

Will Bessent Break the Dollar? Gold Revaluation Is the Only Way to Settle International Accounts.
YouTube, 6th Feb 2025
Comment: I have started to pay attention to Eric Yeung @Kingkong9888 on XTwitter and this interview with Mario clarifies the situation of who is demanding physical gold from the LBMA. Here it is claimed that the US government/Federal Reserve are demanding physical gold at any price. So, again the story has changed.... The proof that it's likely to be the US government is that they are not being told to take a hike, which in previous difficult situations has been the case. The main sweet spot in this interview is the implications that a massive revaluation of gold is on the way..... Q Anons will already know that Trump has been hinting about a gold and silver revaluation for years, even before the 2020 Election. The Trump Gold Guide info was posted by Don Jr on 28th Jan 2025. If gold goes up (I'm hoping it will be an overnight revaluation), US bullion banks artificially suppresing the silver price are going to crash and burn. Btw, Trump has beef with corrupt Cabal banks, after he and his family were de-banked, I call that election interference..... Looking forward to see what happens.

Systemic Crisis In Gold & Silver Markets | Alasdair Macleod
YouTube, 5th Feb 2025
Alasdair Macleod (https://alasdairmacleod.substack.com) discusses the current state of the gold market, focusing on the rising demand for physical gold and the challenges involved in its delivery. He explores the implications of geopolitical tensions, the growing distrust in the dollar, and the potential for a systemic crisis in credit markets. Macleod emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between money and credit, advocating for gold as a safe haven amid economic uncertainty. He highlights the urgency for individuals to secure their wealth in gold as a protective measure against impending financial turmoil.
Comment: If I understand Alasdair correctly, a massive meltdown in credit markets is coming. To resolve the problem, I think banks will take people's credit which most people think as being money to fix their books.... (Once you put money in the bank your become a creditor to the bank. What most people don't realise is that in a crisis, you are then only a very low priority creditor and the banks will take your money to fix any financial shortfall.) Gold bugs like Alasdair emphasises that banks can't steal your gold and silver if you hold physical in your own possession, but others say that governments in a severe financial crisis will at least try.....
🌟 BREAKING: Gold & Silver Prices SET TO SOAR! 2 Shocking Reasons You MUST Know!
YouTube
Are gold & silver prices about to skyrocket? What is happening at the LBMA? David Morgan joins us discuss gold & silver prices that are set to soar!
Comment: According to David Morgan, it looks like Trump's tariffs started a panic. Gold started moving to the US to beat the tariffs, but then it was noted that London could not supply in a few days (this a technical default), so are the vaults empty?. This realisation then started a REAL PANIC that governments/institutions etc etc want their gold back that was being stored in London. Whoops.... Actually David Morgan may only be partially right, see more below.
Click image for link.
It is most likely that the universal U.S. tariffs plan or the tariffs on Canada and Mexico are real. The implications are as follows:
1) The biggest paper #GOLD & #SILVER price suppression manipulator in the world, the LBMA, will break and its ability to price suppress Gold & Silver prices will be greatly reduced. This is because the LBMA simply do not have sufficient Good delivery Gold and Silver bars for physical deliveries (as we are seeing now). It also can no longer use the New York GLD & SLV vaults as a source of Good Delivery Gold & Silver bars.
2) Ongoing, industrials, the Chinese, the rest of the BRICS, and the U.S. will compete with each other to withdraw Good Delivery Gold and Silver bars from the LBMA.
3) Western Miners need to get bigger and stronger to increase exploration and mining supply output. This will take time.
4) There might be some final attempts of paper SLAMs at the LBMA and COMEX. Nothing goes up in a straight line.
Anyone who denies what’s happening right now in real-time at the LBMA & COMEX either have low IQ or they are LBMA/COMEX manipulator shills. They should be ignored and blocked in this critical juncture.
Comment: They forgot about China's fentanyl tariff punishment, see below. Well, when you think you understand what is going on, there is just more news.... It looks like the step by step approach to increasing tariffs on silver and gold will cause the total destruction to the current system of price suppression. Explained more here Link

Comment: The article implies that Fort Knox gold hold was being stored in the London and they want it back..... Well, no doubt it was sold hundreds of times over...

It was about the US needing the gold for Judy Shelton's proposal for a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold issued at the initiative of President Trump on July 4, 2026.

Who will get the blame when the inevitable enquiry is held into Britain’s immiseration? At the start of the twentieth century, ours was a rich country, attracting talent and investment from every continent. Now, we are being overtaken in per capita terms by Slovenia.
Our fragile post-Covid recovery has turned into a recession. It has not yet shown up in the figures, but it is upon us. Indeed, if we discount immigration and look at GDP per head, it already registers in the data. Companies are reacting to the coming hikes in National Insurance and the minimum wage with recruitment freezes.
When those rises come into effect in April – to say nothing of Angela Rayner’s fullrights-from-day-one scheme – we will see the start of a sustained rise in unemployment, something Britain has not known for a generation. Fewer people will be paying taxes, more will be claiming benefits.
Taxes are already at a postwar high, yet we still need to borrow more than a billion pounds a week. Why? Because Labour, now at 25 per cent in the polls, knows that its remaining supporters are overwhelmingly beneficiaries of state spending, whether as
government employees or as welfare dependents. The last thing it will do is cut it.

Oh No! China Stole Data From OpenAI!

OpenAI have said that DeepSeek has stolen data from them to train their R1 model.
Apparently the Chinese AI startup trained their model using ChatGPT to get the data for their model which is against OpenAI's Terms & Conditions.
I share my view on how sad it is for OpenAI that somebody came and stole their data to train their AI model on it.

Will DeepSeek Trigger A Big Black Swan? |
Bank of England in Serious Gold Trouble
This blog entry was only supposed to be about DeepSeek, but the Bank of England looks like it is defaulting on gold sales.... VERY SERIOUS..... This is just a heads up for now.
Synopsis: A Chinese Tech Startup company has just shattered the US's presupposed dominance in OpenAI. They proved you can build ChatGPT-level AI for 100x cheaper than current levels. Hence, those who have heavily invested, may be very worried that they have been fooled into over investing and that they might not get all their money back.
Since AI is supposed to be the future, the top 7 US stocks are in a highly overpriced bubble. More realistic prices MUST trigger a massive stock market crash as many traders routinely buy stocks on leverage and hedge funds need to get out quick before they wipe out their capital. Selling will trigger more selling... This looks potentially way worse that the dot-com bubble crash.

Gold stockpiling in New York leadsto London shortage
Wait to withdraw bullion from BoE rises sharply as fears of Trump taridrive shipments to US
FT, 29th Jan 2025
A surge in gold shipments to the US has led to a shortage of bullion in London, as traders amass an $82bn stockpile in New York over fears of Trump administration tariffs.
The wait to withdraw bullion stored in the Bank of England’s vaults has risen from a few days to between four and eight weeks, according to people familiar with the process, as the central bank struggles to keep up with demand.
“People can’t get their hands on gold because so much has been shipped to New York, and the rest is stuck in the queue,” said one industry executive. “Liquidity in the London market has been diminished.”
Since November’s US election, gold traders and financial institutions have moved 393 metric tonnes into the vaults of the Comex commodity exchange in New York, driving its inventory levels up nearly 75 per cent to 926 tonnes — the highest level since August 2022.
Comment: Due to contractual obligations, it seems that many classify this as a default.... Does this mean the UK is broke?

Comment: Alasdair Macleod thinks the excuse is ridiculous.... Link. So have the Bank of England been lying about the amount of gold in the vaults, even after the fairly recent PR, Inside The Bank Of England’s Gold Vaults With Idris Elba.

China is at the beginning of a 2008 US financial meltdown. I’m sure a lot of you won’t believe it because it’s been discussed for several months but nothing egregious has happened to the US financial markets indicating this.[...]
China’s “bank” issues started in one province, where customers of 4 “banks” could not get money from those banks. Why? Well the deposits were going to shareholders accounts. One executive was arrested, one took off with $6 billion
China will not back the deposits of these “banks” because they are not actually banks. They were investment institutions and governments don’t back investments, only bank deposits. The people were fooled into thinking they were banks.
Comment: Due to major fraud, less people are willing to deposit all their money in the banks..... The video starts with people demonstrating outside of a bank and panicking because they have lost their life's savings. China has no social security to fall back on.

Britain’s Bond Turmoil Invokes Memory of 1976 Debt Crisis
Bloomberg, 9th Jan 2025
•Soaring yields prompt some comparisons with Truss debacle
• But the economy’s woes may be more similar to IMF bailout era
Britain’s latest bond turmoil has drawn comparisons with the Liz Truss mini-budget
debacle of 2022 but a parallel with the debt crisis of the 1970s might be more apt.
That’s the analysis of former Bank of England rate-setter Martin Weale, who said the Labour government may have to resort to austerity to reassure markets that it will address the UK’s escalating debt burden if sentiment does not change.

The Incredible, World-Altering ‘Black Swan’ Events That Could Upend Life in 2025
15 futurists, foreign policy analysts and other prognosticators provide some explosive potential scenarios for the new year.
Politico, 3rd Jan 2025
Comment: This is a long article, so the following summary may be sufficient.
Politico Magazine, known for its analysis of political and global trends, has indeed outlined several "Black Swan" events for 2025, which are rare and unexpected occurrences that could have significant global repercussions.
Here's a brief overview of the events they've listed:
Historic Cyber Attack: This scenario envisions a massive cyber attack capable of crippling global infrastructure, highlighting the increasing vulnerability of digital systems worldwide. The impact could disrupt everything from financial markets to power grids, leading to chaos in daily life and international relations. (Likely)
Mass Epidemic and Border Clashes in the US: This prediction suggests a health crisis in the US that could lead to internal conflicts, possibly due to changes in state borders or territorial disputes within the country. Such an event would test the resilience of the US government and society, potentially leading to widespread social unrest. (Mixed Bag)
Global Market Collapse: A financial meltdown where markets crash, leading to widespread economic panic. The repercussions could include severe economic downturns, job losses, and a reevaluation of global economic policies. (Imminent)
Trump, Putin, and Xi's Alliance on Ukraine: An unexpected geopolitical alliance between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping focused on resolving the Ukraine conflict. This would signify a dramatic shift in international relations, potentially leading to a new balance of power or a significant peace agreement. (Likely)
Coup in Belarus: The overthrow of Alexander Lukashenko could lead to significant political instability or change in Belarus, affecting regional security, especially given its proximity to Russia and NATO countries. (Unlikely)
Secret Agreements on Nuclear Issues: This involves clandestine deals between major powers like the US, Russia, Iran, and Israel concerning nuclear proliferation, potentially leading to new frameworks for managing nuclear threats or preventing conflict in the Middle East. (Likely-although I believe that the most of Nukes are dismantled some time ago)
These events are designed to provoke thought about preparedness and resilience against unexpected geopolitical, economic, or technological shocks. They serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of global events and the need for robust contingency planning or JUST, A MASS AWAKENING EVENT! | XTwitter

Comment: Seriously, I now think the stock market meltdown should be expected and not classfied as a black swan but it will probably cause a real black swan event.

Comment: According to Grok:
• UK Gilts: These are government bonds issued by the United Kingdom. The term "Gilt" or "Gilt-edged securities" refers specifically to bonds issued by the British government, which are considered very safe investments because they are backed by the government's ability to tax its citizens.
• US Bonds: This term generally refers to bonds issued by the United States government, but can also include bonds issued by various states, municipalities, or corporations within the US. Specifically, "US Treasury securities" or "Treasuries" would be the closest counterpart to UK Gilts, encompassing securities like Treasury bonds, notes, and bills, which are issued by the US Department of the Treasury.
• So, while both are types of government securities, UK Gilts are specific to the United Kingdom, and US bonds (particularly US Treasuries) are specific to the United States. They serve similar purposes in their respective markets but are issued by different governments.

Neil Oliver exposes the "Ponzi scheme" that is the modern banking system. I can't believe this was allowed to air on UK television. 😲
"Inflation is caused, always and only, by the printing of money... It's a transparent attempt to disguise a Ponzi scheme... which is the conjuring into existence of money from nothing, which only banks are allowed to do."
"Every time they magic up more money... all they do is devalue any money you had in your pocket, or in savings. This is deliberate."
"Since the creation of the so-called Federal Reserve... the actual value of the dollar has fallen by at least 90%... Inflation is the invisible tax."
"Our government, everyone's government... uses banks to put people into debt, and then continuously devalues the currency by creating more money, always out of nowhere, and so making it harder and harder... for anyone ever to be free of that debt."
"If all debt was repaid, all money would vanish."
