Increasing Treasury yields (dropping Treasury prices) coupled with rising gold and silver prices, as physical demand forces the digital prices higher in NY and London, are a signal that the Fed central planners are losing their ability to influence the bond market. If it continues, it ultimately ends in a currency crisis. https://jensendavid.substack.com/p/treasury-yields-rising-since-september Gold and silver metal are the antidote/lifeboats.

When FEMA gives people money what strings are attached? Does the gov't gain access to people's land through conservation easements or eminent domain?

Marijuana is not the problem it’s government intervention. If it were free with no intervention there wouldn’t be stores on every corner. Nor would it be enticing if there were no price tag. The marijuana plant is very useful and should be growing everywhere. Hemp and pot are not closely related. It’s the same thing!!! Just like everything else, get government out of it

A Zionist Israel has no positive future. Zionism = Satanism! How can I say this? Easy! When one realizes that almost all of Zionist Israel's laws are based upon the Talmud, not upon the Torah as many Jews seemed to have thought. The Talmud is arguably the most Satanic collection of writings ever written in human history! Also, the difference between Judaism and Zionism is hardly noticeable. Keep in mind what 1st Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verses 14 through 15 has to say, which states (paraphrased): 'They (the JOOZ) have made themselves the enemies of all humanity. This statement, attributed to Jesus Christ himself, is every bit as true today as when it was 1st spoken.

The stage is definitely being set up for something! There have been more food recalls over the past few weeks than we normally would get over years. As our food resources dwindle more “reports” of E. coli and listeria are pulling food off the shelves that were already barely stocked. Do you find it disconcerting that the FBI labeled MAGA supporters “terrorist” a week after it was reported DoD released DoD Directive 5240.01 expanding use of lethal force against US citizens?

YON HAS EXPOSED THE TRUTH. ITS NOW UP TO YOU WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT HE HAS TOLD US. I SAY TO ALL STUDY CIVIL WARS AND LEARN. ITS WORSE THAN HELL. LEARN FROM THE SURVIVORS OF THE BALTIC WARS. BOSNIA ETC. THEIR EXPERIENCES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE IF YOUR WILLING TO LEARN. THE US IS COLLAPSING AROUND US AND FEW RECOGNIZE THIS. PREPPING WILL GET YOU SO FAR. THE REST REQUIRES INTELLIGENCE TO NAVIGATE AND EVADE THE DANGERS THAT ARE RACING OUR WAY.

The weed is grown with chemicals…that’s the problem!

I don’t smoke weed, I just know it’s not the same as the 70’s/80’s.

I have “Rape of the Mind” 👍…great book!

Well, USA supplied Israel with THAAD, and we can expect a surgical strike into Iran's nuclear and oil facilities. Iran is very close to developing nuclear warheads, so this is no suprise, that Israel HAS to! destroy or delay Iran's nuclear technology.

People are being killed in Iran, 16 year old Iranian boy was singing Israels anthem, in Hebrew, posted to social media. They found him, tortured him, he will be killed, likely hanged publicly...

Why??? Why good people won't stop those crazy old people ruin the country?

sounds suspect - given that the Population of Iran is ~92 million with an estimated 370,000 Christians and 8,500 Jews. Wonder where he learned Hebrew. I would question everything. Millions were raised in donations off the atrocity propaganda from 10/7.

Islam is using our freedoms against us as Michael said. Look at kagan as Supreme when head of Dartmouth took millions from Sheriah with Yale...we all know Ukraine is about money laundering...Brian Berletic states truth Ukraine is toast. Israel is fighting evil if know Islam and Hamas Charter and Hezbollah Charter and Goarprd will win with Israel...Zionist is defined many ways...mostly political...I am a Noahide believer and speak positive vibrations and have no fear and not in denial but much of information you do not know...none of us do but we must have someone who can reason and think with a nonsabotaging team with out bullshit...nonilligitimus carorundum...

We are allowing others to take advantage of us. We have been taking advantage of them for years.

Ironic how the British East India Company was pushing Opium on the Chinese leading to the Opium Wars. Then the Chinese were using the same tactics on the Thais and now Fentanyl in the US. The Brits should be so proud, taughtvthem well..

Also they enslaved Indian farmers to grow the Opium starving the Country.

Sorry, Michael.....but Doug has NO CLUE about the Economy/Financial shit.

We WANT HIGHER INTEREST RATES! This is just basic '101 stuff' that SHOULD be KNOWN.

If there are those that have the knowledge of a 2 year old (don't know THE BASICS; 'ECONOMY 101'), then LEARN!!

We have a bunch of RETARDS who CHEER when Trump says....'We're going to keep interest rates low!'. And then EVERYONE CHEERS AT THEIR DESTRUCTION! It's fucking AMAZING to witness this!

This (low interest rates) means A WEAKER DOLLAR.....do the TWO YEAR OLDS understand wtf a WEAKER DOLLAR means??? It means INFLATION!!!! Prices going HIGHER & HIGHER & HIGHER!!!

So, we've got a SHITLOAD of Trump Cultists who are BEGGING FOR HIGHER INFLATION/PRICES!!!

It is absolutely MIND-BLOWING!!!! This is the kind of shit one LEARNS IN GRADE SCHOOL!!! Yet people do not KNOW this???

THEE ONLY ones that I trust, in the 'Financial Game' are.......

Catherine Austin Fitts (The Solari Report)

Gregory Mannerino (here on Substack & YT)

John Perez (of 'Silver Is Money' on Telegram)

These 3 people SEE the WHOLE picture; they are 'AWAKE'.

And they factor REALITY in to what they do.

The Dumbing Down of AmeriKa was an AWESOME SUCCESS!!!

AmeriKans now have the thinking capability of TWO YEAR OLDS!

Let’s face it: the globalists, the FED, have no interest in running a smart economy. On the contrary, they do everything they can to sink it. The goal is putting the country to ruin. That is their decision matrix. They have already itemized personal property as ‘stranded assets’ on their books, and after they are done with setting fire, blowing up chemical plants and flooding everything, you will own nothing. You can join a mass migration to prepared ‘safe zones’ in densified 15 min. cities. If you are still ascribing the recent environmental disasters to Klimatenarrative your eyes are wide shut. They are just hot-rodding the $printing presses$, conventional economics are suspended.

Doug does say that raising interest rates "dampens inflation."

How does increased interest rates help with the national debt? More interest?

Higher payments for cars, mortgages, etc., and higher income for big savers (the only benefit that very few benefit from).

Is Katherine talking about higher interest rates with sound money (which we've lost with fiat) is best for the economy?

The banks are loaded with bonds that have become worthless, and a couple have already gone under because of it.

The 'National Debt' is NOT OURS.

You do understand that these CRIMINALS (aka 'Public Servants') are spending Our $$$ UNLAWFULLY? Therefore, this is NOT OUR DEBT(S)!

ONE example, of MANY........WARS.

We, The People have been put 'on the hook' PAYING for these wars, decade after decade after decade, correct? Well, ALL of those wars were UNLAWFUL WARS.

Another one....

We have HOW MANY military bases, around the world, that We, The People are on the hook for? Again, these bases are UNLAWFUL (aka UNCONSTITUTIONAL).

Even the military, ITSELF, is UNLAWFUL. It clearly states that we shall have 'NO STANDING ARMIES'. Therefore.....UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The United States CORPORATION'S military is NOT 'Our' military, anyway; they are a FOREIGN military ON AMERICAN SOIL. We just PAY for them. We have a 'government' that is NOT OURS, that is spending OUR $$ on a military that is NOT OURS. Ain't THAT a bitch?!

Here's more......

EVERY 'ALPHABET AGENCY' is UNLAWFUL. We, The People do NOT PAY FOR UNLAWFUL (aka UNCONSTITUTIONAL) expenses.

So-called 'US Embassy's' around the world; how many are there?? They are UNLAWFUL, yet WE have to foot the bill?

I contend that We, The People....DON'T OWE SHIT!

It's NOT 'Our' DEBT!

The MAJORITY of people do NOT have mortgages and/or car notes. If people CANNOT LIVE WITHIN THEIR MEANS......it's TOUGH SHIT for them! Instead of going INTO DEBT because someone WANTS 'something'.....they need to grow up, and SAVE for whatever it is that they want to buy (house, car, whatever). Like it used to be done. And the WHOLE country was WAY better off.

'Spending money, that they don't have, on shit they DON'T NEED!' <<< People swiping credit cards and taking out a mortgage for a (4-5 bedroom) 'McMansion' (when they SHOULD be buying a small 2 bedroom STARTER home)......is NOT AMERICAS PROBLEM; it's the problem of the INDIVIDUAL who acts like a child in a candy store, with their finances.

AMERICAS PROBLEM.....is the HIGH COST of GROCERIES, GAS, BILLS, ect (aka INFLATION).

So, YES.....the INTEREST RATES need to go WAY UP! People are STARVING (cannot afford groceries)!

I never could understand why it is that people have to run out and buy a BRAND NEW car/truck every few years. It's fucking RETARDED! As long as one does regular maintenance on that car/truck.....it will last 30-40 YEARS. And if one has a REAL car/truck....'Old School' with NO 'computer chips' in it......that car/truck will last 'forever'. (SEE: All of the CLASSIC cars in Cuba!)

'Rant' Over! lolol

It took an CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to make alcohol 'illegal' from 1920 to 1933.

Therefore, 'DRUGS' are NOT 'illegal', since it wasn't done so LAWFULLY (via the Constitution).

I do NOT do drugs. That being said, the 'government' has NO RIGHT to declare them to be 'illegal'. HOW does one fix the drug problem?...................

99% of the WORLDS PROBLEMS can be traced back to just ONE thing.......

'IT'S THE PARENTS FAULT!'.

If one is HONEST with themselves, and really THINKS about it, you'll also come to the same conclusion. The problems, on this planet, is due to SHIT PARENTING! Period!

Listening right now. There is some real genius in this podcast and the world view offerred here, based on extensive world travels, is essential if you want to put together a plan for living as freely as possible. The obvious challenges of government agency intervention and bad laws are highlighted. Clearly Michael is a valuable resource and am very pleased to be introduced to Doug Casey and Matt Smith (with whom I've spoken to on the phone) in this setting where a free flowing conversation addresses real world issues.

So there seem to be negatives attached to a continued conflict in Ukraine. Do you see any difference between the Presidential candidates' positions on that war?

I do. And I intend to vote for the candidate that has the better policy. (As an aside, I fail to see how that candidate's opponent has ANY policy positions that are attractive.) I get it that the Government's response to COVID - in 2020 - was erroneous (even disastrous), but the Deep State was responsible for that, not the candidate; time to get real. If you're going to place blame "where the buck stops" on COVID, then you can't possibly abstain, and effectively allow the current administration continue dozens of disastrous policies, by taking advantage of your apathy.

Allah. Candidates on both "sides" are corrupt. Utterly without a shred of courage. All parties to this "election" including insouciant Boobus Americanus are engaged in folly. It's like arguing over which peanut butter "tastes better". It ALL sticks to the roof of your mouth.

OK. Who is your candidate? Or do you prefer simply throwing over the system for something else; if so, what?

You DO have a solution, don't you?

Allah. Yes. Arm up. Prep. Stay out of the voting booth. It's all fraud. We Americans just happen to be good at playing games that lead nowhere. And of course watching them on TV.
