Full Faith & Credit of a Bankrupt Insolvent Government – Bill Holter

by Greg Hunter, USA Watchdog:

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter says there is a long list of financial trouble coming to America sooner than later.  There is the commercial real estate implosion, rising interest rates, an exploding federal budget, banana republic political problems, but the at the top of the list is the monster unpayable debt problem and the soon-to-be failing U.S. dollar.  Holter says, “You can’t have a third of the federal taxes paid out in interest, and that number is only going to grow over time. . . . If the markets would not collapse ahead of time, which they certainly will, but if they did not, we would get to the point where the interest would eat up all the tax receipts.  That is a mathematical impossibility.  We’re broke.  On the other side of it, we have two rules of law.  We have one rule of law if you are a liar from the left and another rule of law if you are a conservative and you don’t support the bull crap rules they are putting out there. . . . This is an illustration that this country has already become a banana republic.  The problem with that is the dollar issued by this country is the world’s reserve currency.  It’s a huge problem.”

‘Bidenomics’ Is Literally Killing Americans As Suicides Hit All-Time High In 2022 After Declining In 2019 And 2020 – Food Prices Will Not Go Down, And Inflation Started Rising Again In July

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

As inflation begins to rise once again, on top of the accrued inflation since Joe Biden began occupying the White House, with Americans unable to save for retirement, those ready to retire forced to continue working because they cannot afford the cost of living, and parents barely able to survive living paycheck to paycheck, we now see the rate of suicides for 2022 rose to all-time highs.

After Three Months Declining Reserves Central Banks Became Net Gold Buyers Again in June

by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:

After three straight months of net sales, central banks globally became net buyers of gold again in June.

On net, central banks bought 55 tons of gold in June as the Central Bank of Turkey switched from selling back to buying, according to the most recent data compiled by the World Gold Council.

Over the previous three months, Turkey reduced its gold holdings by 160 tons. According to the World Gold Council, this was a specific response to local market dynamics and didn’t likely reflect a change in the Turkish central bank’s long-term gold strategy. “Gold was sold into Turkey’s domestic market to satisfy very strong bar, coin and jewelry demand following a temporary partial ban on gold bullion imports, a WGC report said.

Could a New World Currency Dethrone the Dollar?

from Birch Gold Group:

The U.S. dollar has been the world standard for currency since the end of World War II – but there are legitimate contenders that could take that title away. Whether it’s the relatively new conglomerate of economic powerhouses with a BRICS currency, the Chinese yuan or even digital currencies like bitcoin, there are many options. The world could choose to step away from the dollar as its value continues to sink and the instability of American politics puts a strain on the once unstoppable greenback.

History tells us it’s really only a matter of time. Global reserve currencies don’t last forever. Portugal filled the role back in the 1400s and that only lasted 80 years. After that, Spain took up the mantle and held it for an impressive 110 years, and no country has beat their record since. While it might seem unchanging for the generation or two living with a particular reserve currency, if you take a look at the entire span of human history, global reserve currency turnovers happen about once a century.

Nothing Is Over: Inflation Is About To Come Back With A Vengeance

by Brandon Smith, Alt Market:

Perhaps one of the most bizarre recent developments in economic news has been the attempt by establishment media (and the White House) to declare US inflation “defeated” despite all the facts to the contrary. Keep in mind that when these people talk about inflation, they are only talking about the most recent CPI, which is supposed to be a measure of current inflation growth, not a measure of inflation already accumulated. But, the CPI is easily manipulated, and focus on that index alone is a tactic for misleading the public on the true economic danger.

Food Prices Are Crazy High Now, But They Will Soon Go A Lot Higher

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Over the past few years, we have seen food prices in the United States and other wealthy countries do things that they have never done before.  Unfortunately, this is just the beginning.  Global food supplies are getting tighter, and meanwhile global demand for food just continues to increase.  For decades, many among the elite were optimistic that someday we would be able to eliminate global hunger completely because tremendous progress was being made.  But then right around 2015 things started to reverse, and now the trend is very much going in the wrong direction.  According to the United Nations, 2.4 billion people did not have enough food to eat last year, and 900 million of them were facing severe food insecurity.  Those numbers will almost certainly go even higher this year, because it is getting more difficult for poor countries to get the food that they need to feed their populations.

Australia Ratcheting Up War on Cash

by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:

Australia has become the front line in the war on cash with an aggressive effort to ring physical money out of the economy.

Over the last financial year, more than a billion dollars worth of physical cash disappeared from circulation, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The Australian news service 9News called it “the strongest sign yet” that the country is moving toward a cashless society.

The number of $50 notes in circulation charted the sharpest decline.

Austria to enshrine the right to pay with cash into constitution

by Rhoda Wilson, Expose News:

On 4 August, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer announced plans to enshrine the right to pay with cash into the country’s constitution as card contactless payments become more popular in Europe.

Nehammer proposed the amendment after the Austrian Freedom Party, which is currently surging in the polls, accused the current government of conspiring to ban cash to track its citizens. Nehammer is the leader of Austria’s conservative People’s Party, which rules in a coalition with the left-wing Green Party.

Nigel Farage warns ‘cashless society’ could usher in Chinese-style ‘social credit system’

by Andreas Wailzer, LifeSite News:

‘From September 11th, NatWestGroup will be limiting the amount of cash that you can deposit and withdraw,’ Farage noted.

Nigel Farage has warned about a looming “cashless society” and social credit system as major U.K. and Australian banks limit cash withdrawals. 

Farage, a former English politician recently “de-banked” by the British private bank Coutts, said in a video message that we are rapidly moving “towards a cashless society” that may usher in “a social credit system where only if you obey the prevailing orthodoxy of the day can you take part in life.”

China Buys 23 Tons Of Gold In 9th Straight Month Of Purchases, Total Rises To Record 2,137 Tons

from ZeroHedge:

Not only is China ravenously buying up all the physical gold it can get its hands on – something it has been doing pretty much non stop since 2009, for the most part covertly with occasional periods of public disclosure meant to achieve specific political goals – more importantly, it is letting the world know it is buying up all the physical gold it can get its hands on.

On Monday, the Chinese central bank revealed that in July it increased its gold reserves for a ninth straight month as central bank purchases – in big part out of China – continue to underpin the price of the precious metal, offset selling by ETFs.
