Financial writer and precious metals broker Bill Holter says the latest .5% rate cut by the Fed shows something is very wrong with the economy. There were some big reported problems a few months ago with the yen carry trade blowing up and 63 banks hiding $500 billion in losses. Now, billionaire investor Warren Buffett is selling off millions of shares in BofA stock, inflation has surged, along with business bankruptcies in America, and total household debt and federal debt has hit new all-time highs. This is just scratching the surface of the financial problems that are already here. The world is wrestling with unpayable debt everywhere. So, why the big rate cut now when the Fed says the economy is going great? Holter says, “I think there is absolute desperation. They look at the poll numbers, and they realize they are not going to be able to cheat enough to win. They certainly know behind the scenes that the entire system, including the Federal Reserve and including the Treasury, is all insolvent. So, yeah, there is absolute desperation. I was saying 10 years ago they would ultimately kick the table over because that’s the way to cover their tracks. They don’t want fingers pointed at them. So, what do you do? You nuke a city. Oh, then they can’t have an election, and their tracks get covered. . . .My odds for not having an election in November are now 65% to 70% we don’t have an election.”

Holter says keep your eyes on the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and the real possibility of them starting to settle trade in something other than US dollars sooner than later. This is extremely dollar negative and highly inflationary. Holter contends we are going to see a massive credit crisis, and that will “bring things to a screeching halt.” Holter explains, “Nothing will function if credit ceases. It is used in every single process everywhere for everything. So, if credit breaks, and confidence breaks and credit is not forthcoming, then nothing is forthcoming. . . . You get some sort of credit event. Then stores are going to be wiped out immediately, but they are not going to be resupplied.”
Holter has long warned about a real-life Mad Max apocalyptic world where people scrounge for what they need to survive. Holter says, “Every day you wake up, you are only 72 hours away. I can’t tell you when this is going to happen. All I can say is the financial system in the West is untenable. From a math standpoint, this Mad Max scenario is going to happen. . . . When I first talked about Mad Max in 2017, I got an absolute rash of crap in emails and comments that said I was crazy, you are nuts, Mad Max will never happen because this is America. Now, it seems to me it’s common that people are using the term Mad Max over the last few years.”
Holter told me he no longer gets any negative comments when he brings up the Mad Max world he sees coming.
Holter says, “If there is an election, no matter who wins, there is going to be massive unrest. If Trump wins, there will be unrest that is paid for (by Democrats and the Deep State). And if Kamala wins, you will finally see polite conservatives, who have followed the rule of law, who are finally going to say that’s the last straw. So, I believe no matter who wins, there will be massive rioting and massive strife, and it could get to civil war. We could see that.”
In closing, Holter says, “The country has been hollowed out in every way possible. One of the biggest hollowing outs is the country has specifically, from a government and school standpoint, turned away from God. . . . If you live in a city, you are not going to make it—end of story. . . . Once you get derivatives cascading, it’s a 72-hour event, and no markets will open anywhere. When markets don’t open, that means there is no more credit. When there is no credit, the real economy stops.”
