Recall over a year ago I remarked on how fortunate for the big Wall Street banks it was that the COVID “emergency measures” were put into place, with literally unlimited trillions doled out to them by the central bank they own - the supposedly impartial Federal Reserve (which is no more Federal than Federal Express and has no reserves).
Amen! I have shared with you that COVID is merely the first act in the Fed dog and pony show. Something bad is going to happen so the deep state and the banks decided to use Fauci to get the plebeians all jacked up on vaccine mandates and masks, etc. so they do not see what is REALLY happening. My opinion...the US govt is going to default as inflation is too hard to hide now that everyone sees the prices and empty shelves. All those FEMA camps are not going to be just for the anti-vaxxers....they will be used to house anyone that protests and/or questions the narrative. COVID is just the warm-up....
I would not be surprised if a far deadlier (to the vaxxed) bio-weapon is released to provide cover for the steadily increasing deaths caused by the shots, and the slow motion destruction of the immune system they will cause (which I like to call V-AIDS: Vaccine Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome). I don't know when the collapse in the stock, real estate, and bond markets will happen, but I have a fair idea how they will happen: the same banks that have gone massively short the stock market will tighten margin lending (same as in 1929), causing a domino effect as speculators have to sell in order to meet higher collateral requirements. We'll see a BTFD bump after maybe a 15%-20% crash, which will suck the very last of the speculative cash out of the retail market, and then it will be look out below for stocks. Real estate they will do the same thing (same players, so why not?). They'll announce that they are no longer going to make real estate loans for some "temporary" period, or alternatively change the collateral requirements so the speculators who keep increasing prices the norm suddenly can't get that loan to buy more, and then suddenly homes go from being speculations to being dwellings where people live. That should cut 80-90% out of the real estate market as only the big banks will have the money to buy anything (and they will wait at least 600-1000 days for the real bottom to hit and everyone to abandon all hope). I would also expect hyper-inflation at the retail level to be the norm, and the BIS/Worldbank/IMF to propose dropping the dollar as reserve status, in favor of a basket of fiat currencies (IDR - International Drawing Rights) for international trade (which is just more of the same worthless fiat, but will keep the plates spinning for another decade or two). Basically we are talking a repeat of 1929-1939, when the average American lost everything and lived in a destitute hellscape while the big banks bought their famland and real estate holdings for pennies on the dollar. A generational sweeping of the table (every 4-5 generations) where the house takes all the accumulated prosperity from the middle class, only for it all to start up again. We might also see a localized war with Russia or China, but they won't want it to go nuclear, as owning everything in a thousand year nuclear winter isn't appealing, even to complete sociopaths.
@Russell Blake - Wow! It is clear that you have really given this some thought. While I am not as astute as you are about the markets I agree with your proposition that SOMETHING is going to happen. There is a reason why the elites have the vax/anti-vax fight going on...it is hiding the obvious things they are doing to screw us over. Question...where does the interest rate fit into your analysis? We all know the Fed is in a quandary as raising the rates will bankrupt the US govt as they barely can afford the interest payments. Dropping the rates even more into negative territory is unheard of...who is going to pay the banks to hold their worthless dollars? In 1929, the interest rate was raised which is why folks blame the Fed for the crash as they basically pulled out the rug from under the markets. At least that is how the story goes. Or are you assuming the Fed will keep the rates the same for the duration while all the other bad stuff happens?
The rate tightening is part of the creation of the crisis that will justify locking borrowers out of the real estate and stock markets. The rest takes care of itself.
Makes sense! Cheers.

The wickedness is here. What comes next is far uglier...
What do you think is coming next? Just curious....
