“The
rich are building bunkers,” Jim Rickards said in a recent interview with USA
Watchdog’s Greg Hunter. “Entrepreneurs are actually buying abandoned missile
silos with armed guards and steel doors.”
While everything appears to be “business as usual”... .
Waves of pessimism are rolling through the financial markets like a thick fog, obscuring the future, heightening the uncertainty…

There are three
external-related reasons that could soon force the Federal Reserve to move to a
looser monetary policy: the US-China trade war, the United Kingdom's likely
sterling crisis, and Europe's approaching recession.
While the hustle and bustle barrels forward, beneath the surface there’s a feeling that we’re approaching the end of something fundamental…
Perhaps everything we take for granted as “stable.”
Of course, nobody with any power will admit their jitters publicly.
That would be foolish.
Not only would they risk appearing weak, alarmist, or a Chicken Little…

Worse, they might tap into and activate a fear and spur
panic.
But in private conversations, most are likely (and sheepishly) admitting the same thing:
I think this ship’s going down.
“Here’s another interesting thing,” Rickards goes on, “hedge fund billionaires may trade stocks, bonds and currencies all day long, but when you ask them where do you have your own money, every one of them that I have spoken to have gold, physical gold…They all have gold. They don’t trade it, but they have it.”

I’ll admit,
the economy has fooled me. I didn’t
think it would do this well for as long as it has but plenty of folks see doom
on the horizon AND as I’ve repeatedly indicated, everything in life is cyclical
PERIOD!

The Four
Horsemen
As you may know, Rickards has been doing the rounds, talking about his newest book, Aftermath…
“It should not be lost on readers that Aftermath is the fourth volume of a quartet on the international monetary system,” says Rickards, “along with Currency Wars (2011), The Death of Money (2014), and The Road to Ruin (2016).”
What’s less apparent, however, he says, is how these four volumes resemble the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
“Few can name the four horsemen,” says Rickards, “although most believe they can and will gladly give it a try. War and Death come easily to mind; those two answers are correct. War rides the red second horse, and Death the pale green fourth. Beyond that interlocutors lapse into ‘plague’ and ‘famine,’ which are incorrect guesses. Those misfortunes are described as instruments of Death, not separate riders.
“The third rider, on a black horse, has no specific name but holds a scale and is heard to say, ‘A ration of wheat costs a day’s pay.’ Scholars have determined that a day’s pay, one silver denarius for a soldier of Rome or a common laborer, was an unusually high price for a day’s ration of wheat, about one quart.
“The admonition of the third rider is either scarcity or inflation. I chose the name Ruin to encompass both conditions.”
And, now, for the fourth?
He offers up a hint in a tweet.

Note: Stalin planted pro-Communist ‘puppets’ into
many European countries after WWII to secure his “Iron Curtain.” Just like the Red Menace [AOC, Rashid, Omar,
etc. are all Communist plants] in our Congress today they take advantage of any
incident[s] to sew seeds of discord such as the recent mass shootings.
Silently they are carrying out a coup against
our Republic with the goal of destroying individual rights in their effort to
convert our nation into a socialist state.
Other Recent Insights
The European Central Bank’s
policy rate, at minus 0.4%, is already nearly 3 percentage points below the
Fed’s. And last week ECB President Mario Draghi strongly hinted it will soon go
further into negative territory. Fed officials have concluded they cannot
permit U.S. rates to deviate too far from their foreign counterparts’. So even
though the U.S. economy is in much better shape than Europe’s, the ECB is
helping to force the Fed’s hand.
Would this drive up debt
levels? You bet. But in this environment, you could pay off your debt more
easily … by taking on more debt.
Say you have $100 of debt and you’re paying 5 per cent on it, or $5 per year. You borrow another $100, this time at minus-1 per cent, and make $1 for carrying that debt. That reduces the cost of the first $100 you borrowed to $4.

NOTEWORTHY
Most political debates are absolute
garbage. [So are the idiotic comments from Dems who blame Trump for recent mass shootings-unbelievably stupid]
The candidates have nothing they can defend and
nothing tangible to attack…
It’s just one demagogue after another spewing empty platitudes and false promises to win the ring of power.
But every once in a while, the truth breaks through and the psychopath behind the mask is revealed.
Tulsi Gabbard ripped off Kamala Harris’s mask in the last Democrat debate, and then proceeded to verbally smash her in front of a thunderously cheering crowd.
Kamala is dead. Her presidential campaign is finished.
And it was glorious to watch.
Tulsi went after Kamala’s drug enforcement record:
"She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana."
Then Tulsi cited Kamala’s criminal justice record:
“She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.”
Tulsi wouldn’t make a difference either.
Because that’s the whole political game.
That’s why it’s rigged.
That’s why we find most politicians offer Band-Aid solutions to problems.
Even the person with the most amount of (ostensive) power in the land, the president of the United States of America, cannot make a difference.
Bush ran on being anti-war. But he quickly turned pro-war.
Same with Obama.

And Trump…
Well, the CIA, FBI, and NSA concocted a wild conspiracy theory about Russian collusion...
And the 4th branch of the government, the corporate press, sold it to half of America for well over 2 years. All in an attempt to control Trump from meddling with their agenda. If any of you recall, I shared a report from a friend who is a former MI6 agent who revealed the whole plot of conspiracy against Trump-WAY BACK IN DECEMBER 2016!
It worked. Many useful idiots bought this crap from Dems hook, line and sinker-CNN beat that drum for two years [who watches this network anymore is beyond me].

The weekend shootings in America follow a pattern of "terror
plots" that are planned and carried out by the FBI, according to verified
reporting from the New York Times and the Kansas City Star.
We've got the
bombshell, breaking news right now.
This video
explains everything. You will be blown away by the truth about the operation
being run on America right now.
Connor Betts, the 24-year-old shooter who murdered 9 people in Dayton,
Ohio, does not help the Democrat agenda…he is a registered Democrat &
broke gun laws to get his weapon but its not stopped them for clamoring for
even more ineffective gun laws!
As
Democrats and their journalist friends have blamed President Donald Trump and
Republicans for the shooting it appears he is one of theirs, Big
League Politics reported.
OTHER USEFUL ITEMS
I've had a
lot of fun making DIY stoves for camping trips and bug out bags. Homemade camp
stoves are way cheaper than store-bought ones, and they're usually lighter and
much more portable. That's why I recommend everyone try making a stove a two.
Recently, I came across a very simple portable stove on the
Youtube channel, Creative Etc. I'm positive that anyone — even people who are
terrible at DIY projects — can make this stove. Here's how to do it.
Step 1 - Gather your supplies. You'll need a small paint can (like
the one in the picture below), a hammer and nail, four zip ties, four long
metal rods or screws that you can use for the stand, and some denatured
alcohol...
“I normally sell to horse
farms,” said Karl Gearhart, the owner of Gearhart Farms, which grows and sells
hay in central Ohio. “In the last four months, I’ve sold more to dairies and
beef cattle than I have in the last 17 years I’ve been in business.”
Silver, the precious
metals coiled swing has just given us a taste of what to expect as the price
shot higher during July, last trading at $16,56, up 12% since an analysis of
10th June ($14.74). Silver had been lagging the gold price all year, even
entering into a downtrend early July that resolved in a $2, 15% surge higher…

Couldn't say it better-wish I could afford a bunker! The Dems [Communists] have infected Congress & now want to do the same to our nation.
Whenever a tragic act of violence makes national headlines, the calls to give up more of our freedoms and liberties in exchange for the promise of increased security become deafening. But if we take another step toward becoming an authoritarian society every time something horrible happens, eventually we won’t have any of the basic liberties and freedoms that previous generations of Americans fought so hard to secure for us.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the Left isn’t engineering these shootings in order to enact a complete gun removal like in England.
