I did research and wrote yesterday’s post early in the week, and that post was based on my “impressions” or rather “feelings” from the week before that I just could not ignore. I did some editing on it yesterday morning before posting it…the editing being at 3:30am. Yeah, that 3:30am…I woke up with a sense of dread and foreboding like I was missing something that is standing right in front of me. So I decided to make good use of the early morning hours and do some more research into the financial aspect of what is taking place in the world, specifically in the US. It wasn’t encouraging as you can imagine…and there was a little more to it.

< click here to read yesterday’s post >

Here are some points to make about what I found:

1. U.S. Treasury bond market inversion problem. What the heck does that mean? Well, not to bore you with details…it is the relationship of 10-year Treasury bond vs short-term Treasury bonds. In normally good times the 10-year bond yields are higher than the 2-year bonds, when they inverse it signals a looming recession. And it is historically accurate. The “inversion” is now worse than it has been in over 40 years. Yes, that means we could be looking at the kind of recession that the country endured in the 1980s’…and that was bad. Back then it was mortgage interest rates in the teens & even twenties, credit card interest rates in the twenties and thirties. It was bad.
2. Barron’s article spoke to on-going supply chain issues…some of which are really worker-based issues. And we know that they are right. The official unemployment rate is relatively low, for now. But we also know that tech firms as well as many other companies have begun massive layoffs. However, the most important number is the “workforce participation rate” that I wrote about a while back. It is terribly low…dangerously low. Meaning, historic numbers of people have quit, been laid off, or gotten fired, and they are no longer looking for work. Then there is the “worker productivity rate” and it has been down and continues to look like it will get worse. Then there is the whole “quiet quitting” phenomena taking place. So Barron’s linked the two issues, ongoing supply chain problems and workforce problems…both have to be fixed before the supply chain, and associated economy, has any chance of being “fixed”…whatever that means.
3. We all now there is a problem, a huge problem, with people struggling to pay their mortgages. Some have taken on more debt than they actually could afford, mortgage interest rate increases have pushed a lot of home buyers out of the market, and there is a general slowdown in the housing market…some calling that it the early stages of a housing bubble bursting. But, the symptoms don’t stop there…now mortgage companies are being hit…and going bankrupt. The housing problem in the US is looking as if it is beginning to spin out of control.
4. ESG…really? I have been hearing about the whole ESG thing and its link to the great reset, etc. for quite a while now. I had my doubts about it…but, the more research I did the more it proved to be true. Yes, true…in and of itself…and its link to a “reset”, “collapse”, “transition” or whatever you want to call it is real. It is real and it is happening. For me I can see three main thrusts: 1) use the environment (the “E”) to move money from the common/average person to supposedly the poor (environmental reparations) but in reality the majority of the money will end up in the hands of the ultra-rich when the dust settles, 2) supposedly make society more just (the “S”) through a mislabeled effort of “equity” but, once again, it will be the middle moving some of its money to the poor but the transference will result in massive amounts of wealth being transferred to the ultra-rich, it is nothing more than Communism, 3) and the most staggering part of this…the “G” part, meaning the massive increase in government control of everything…and I mean every thing! Now, my point…I have been seeing a significant increase in the discussion of “biodiversity” investing. If you hear that term…it is directly related to the ESG agenda…and stay away, far away from it. It is simply a scheme to move money from the average person to the wealthy.
5. The rail strike…dang! Originally, a couple months ago, I wasn’t worried about it and it appeared to be on the road to settlement. Now I am not so sure, but differently than what you might expect. Some of the unions accepted the agreement, some rejected it. Among the unions that accepted it, there was 100% unity with not crossing a picket line should the non-accepting unions strike. And yes, that means the rail transportation in the US would effectively shutdown. The resulting economic and practical effect would be significant…and then crippling if it went on. So rather than letting a free market system take its course and allow the two sides to figure out a solution that is agreeable to both sides…the US Communist Federal Government is in the process of forcing a settlement on both sides. Yes, I said “Communist” because that is exactly what it is…Communism. And if you support the US government forcing both sides into accepting their government’s deal…then you to are a Communist at heart. Congress is a day or so away from passing the law for the forcible acceptance, and Biden is calling for its passage. And if it passes that means the government controls your job as well…it’s only a matter of time. But here is the problem…I am hearing that at least two of the unions will not accept the deal even if it is enforced by Congress through legislation. And they have further indicated that they will strike. And if they strike it is highly likely that the remaining unions will not cross their picket lines…and that will shut everything down that is rail related. Then what does the government do? That my friend is my point…this could be a spark that potentially brings on a civil war. And the Democrats will be responsible for it through their Communist beliefs and actions. We need to pray that the strike and/or associated violence doesn’t happen. It’s too soon, they would lose.
6. Just Wednesday Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a hardcore authoritarian, warned of an increased homeland threat level related to domestic political violence…”driven by violent extremists seeking to further a political or social goal or act on a grievance.” He went on regarding these violent extremists that they “pose a persistent and lethal threat to the homeland.” And here is the key from him…“Perceptions of government overreach continue to drive individuals to attempt to commit violence targeting government officials and law enforcement officers…Some domestic violent extremists have expressed grievances based on perceptions that the government is overstepping its Constitutional authorities or failing to perform its duties.” Mayorkas is laying the groundwork, preparing Americans, for any acts of government violence and suppression of rights/liberties against US citizens…including martial law. Watch for a rail strike…violence erupting from that strike (including false flags)…and then how DHS responds to that violence or false flag.
7. Bloomberg just came out with a huge warning about the cyrpto problems. FTX was a killer blow to the cyrpto industry and it started a domino effect with many other cyrpto companies…and it just got worse. Cyrpto related lenders are now struggling big time, specifically in relation to crypto “miners” and their ability to repay debt. Watch out…it looks like a government takeover or a collapse coming in this sector if I were talking to myself.
8. Wars…Russia/Ukraine and China Civil War. Be watchful and careful of these wars. The Russia/Ukraine war appears as if it might be ready to make a significant upswing in intensity from both sides. And it also appears that the US will be sending Ukraine long range missiles that could strike well inside Russia’s borders. And Russia won’t stand for that.

And right now in China there are just “widespread protests and some rioting”…but that could change quickly. China’s hardcore communist government won’t tolerate the unrest much longer. But then let’s see how it works out as they try to control 1billion+ people. And don’t you find it interesting that the Biden family has deep, very deep, financial ties to both Ukraine and China? Maybe that might just have something to do with why we are pouring over $100billion into Ukraine? Oh, and not a peep out of Biden supporting the freedom seeking/loving protesters in China. And strangely, not a single word, not even a whisper from Biden about the violent Communist Chinese government crackdown on the protesters.

Summary –

Yesterday I wrote about something lurking in the shadows that I could tel was there…could see some form of it…but the details escaped me. Same is true this morning as I write this. But, the shadow is becoming far larger and more dense…and honestly, significantly more troubling.

As I have been saying for years…our economic system has failed…it has collapsed…the end will come. However, the end is on track for possibly years, if not decades, out into the future. Then again…we could just as well wake up on any given morning and it has collapsed entirely and completely.

What I feel is happening now…we are no longer decades away…maybe a couple years, maybe a few months…I am not sure. But the most troublesome…I can see far more issues that could collapse us overnight. And then add on top of that Mayorkas. Yes, Mayorkas! I am telling you Mayorkas would be far more at home in 1930’s and 1940’s Nazi Germany than here and now. But, in the here and now…he brings that same mentality of Nazism. If we were to collapse now…Mayorkas would be in his natural environment…and Amerika would turn into one big concentration camp. One that would be oppressive as you can’t even imagine…violent and tyrannical as any madman has done in the history of the world.

I think we need to have a serious discussion about what to do.
