John Williams on the Current State of Inflation: John Williams has been at the head of “Shadowstats.com” for years—the best source for real inflation numbers. In this interview with Jason Burach, founder of Financial Education Company, Williams tells the history of how Congress decided in 1983 to begin skewing the Consumer Price Index with new criteria in order to reduce what Social Security recipients would get from the annual COLA—Cost of Living Allowance adjustment. He says the changes they have made over the years lower the real rate of inflation by 8 full percentage points. So if the CPI is 2%, it’s really 9-10%. I think he’s right.

Skousen: Overview of the Banking Crisis – What you need to know

In $Money$ ToBeFree, Inflation$$$$$$, Joe Biden, Joel Skousen, Lying, Purpose of Feminism/'Gays'

In summary, it is very clear that the government is going to do everything within its money creation and regulatory powers to keep this banking system failure in check. The PTB even trotted out Joe Biden to tell Americans “the US banking system is safe” even as shares plummeted up to 74% in pre-market trading despite president’s guarantee scheme for SVB and Signature Bank.

The financial powers first had to halt all trading in bank stocks while they organized a stock intervention response so the “crash” of bank stocks was blunted. The fact that the “plunge protection team” had to intervene so forcefully to stop the run on bank stocks indicates the big boys aren’t ready for a market crash yet.

WHY THE CURRENT BANKING SYSTEM IS ALWAYS SUBJECT TO COLLAPSE

The collapse of three high-risk banking institutions this week may seem like an anomaly, but it’s not, considering the fragile nature of our banking system. All banks are inherently susceptible to bank runs because they, like insurance companies, are only required to keep a small portion of their assets in cash or liquid assets available for withdrawal within a short time. When cash funds are exhausted, banks must sell their most liquid assets, which are usually in the form of US Treasury bonds. When demands for withdrawal exceed a bank’s cash and liquid assets, the bank becomes insolvent—unless it can get other larger banks to give them some “bridge loans” at higher interest rates, which they just did for First Republic Bank. But they won’t be willing to do if the problem bank’s balance sheet contains too many weak performing loans. Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank both ran out of the foregoing options this week and collapsed, but what was different this week was that the Federal Reserve and FDIC stepped in and decided to bailout all depositors, most of which far exceeded the $250K cap on federal deposit insurance, in order to stave off a larger bank panic. While this may work in the short term, it sets a very dangerous precedent in that it is 1) illegal, 2) rewards risky bank speculation, and 3) it sets up a double standard for bailouts that the government can’t possible fulfill if more banks default. This week I will discuss the many reasons why SVB failed and why other banks are similarly vulnerable.

PROSPECTS FOR AN INFLATIONARY RECESSION

The US economy is at an unlikely tipping point where the common person feels the hurt of stagflation with rising prices, but no more increased income to keep buying at the same pace, while the burgeoning upper middle class and wealthy are still feeling flush with the false perception of increased wealth that higher prices brings initially—only to find out later how little it can really buy. For decades now, low interest rates have driven new business growth including in speculative startups, digital currency and stocks with only marginal value. The easy money has created dramatic levels of perceived new wealth, but only some of it is real—created or spent in the real economy where it contributes to actual growth and helps small business. Most has gone into highly speculative stocks and investments or crypto currencies, since there’s been no incentive to put it in savings at less than 1% interest rates. Thus the economy is booming in some sectors and hurting in others. 15% real inflation has ravaged ordinary people’s budgets but the well-heeled are further up the supply chain where the real effects of inflation are delayed. They still feel like they have huge amounts of money to spare and can afford the bid up prices to get what they want—except where manmade supply problems are slowing down most company’s ability to fulfill sales.

Patent attorney John Titus said that the Federal Reserve (Fed) added $4.5 trillion to its balance sheet since March 2020, which is the largest monetary event in the history of the world! Not only did the Fed add a gargantuan $4.5 trillion in reserves, but they did it in such a way that it forced the creation of $4.5 trillion in new bank money, for the express purpose of deliberately causing mass inflation. The Federal Reserve is carrying out this plan under the cover of the so-called pandemic, but the plan was created before Covid-19 was introduced. The plan was drafted by BlackRock and given to the Federal Reserve in August 2019, four months before Covid struck.

Skousen: Precious Metals, Stocks and Inflation

PRECIOUS METALS, STOCKS AND INFLATION

There seems to be a disconnect between precious metals and inflation. Collecting or investing in silver and gold used to be a reliable hedge against inflation. But ever since inflation started raging above 10% last year, silver and gold have remained flat. More and more traders now acknowledge that both metals are being artificially manipulated downward. My personal opinion, which I can’t prove (because the details are kept hidden) is that the inside players (like central banks) can sell silver and gold on the open market and buy back privately without reporting it, to replenish their stocks and drive down prices.

But stocks no longer follow real trends, and are powerfully manipulated. Breitbart business noted that stocks strangely went up last Monday after the Taliban’s victory over Afghanistan. “The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Averages reached all-time highs on the day that America woke up to find the Taliban once again running Afghanistan” That should have been a down sign for all the billions government is spending on military contractors, but it didn’t seem to matter.

This Is The Worst Inflation Since The 1970s, And The Stage Is Being Set For The Total Collapse Of The U.S. Economy

July 13, 2021 by IWB

Michael Snyder

How does it feel to live in a country with double-digit inflation? On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics told us that the consumer price index has risen 5.4 percent over the past 12 months, and such a high number shocked a lot of people. But in order to make a fair comparison to the past, we have to account for the fact that the way inflation is calculated has been changed literally dozens of times over the past several decades. According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if inflation was still calculated the way that it was back in 1990, the official rate of inflation over the past 12 months would be about 9 percent. And if inflation was still calculated the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation over the past 12 months would be well into double-digits.

HIGHER INFLATION IS HERE—AND IT WON’T BE SHORT-LIVED

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell had to acknowledge signs of higher inflation but said he won’t be raising interest rates because this bout with inflation will be “short lived.” This week I will tell you why it won’t be short lived and why the Powers that Be (PTB) actually want a damaging period of inflation as part of their drive to undermine the private economy, discredit free markets and further induce people to demand more socialist controls and higher taxes on “the rich.” Ironically, the middle class could soon find themselves in the higher tax bracket as inflation drives incomes higher. By artificially keeping interest rates low, the FED and member banks are systematically denying people’s savings an honest return on their money, and inducing many to seek higher returns elsewhere, in either stocks or cryptocurrencies. Gold and silver, the traditional hedges against inflation are under continued and constant manipulation in order to keep their prices stagnant, which is also driving even more money into the bubble of stocks and cryptos.

Inflation Rising Fast: Even the heavily manipulated CPI is showing inflation has doubled. That equates to a real inflation rate of near 10% per annum and higher. “The U.S. rate of inflation rose to 2.6 percent, a two-and-a-half year high. [the CPI is normal falsified at a low 1.5%] Consumer prices surged in March as well. Gas led the way with a jump of over 9 percent. [building material prices have more than doubled] If inflation creeps up much more, there will be increased pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates.

Will the Dollar Crash? Dozens of free market economic writers and sellers of precious metals are predicting the imminent demise of the dollar, as the speculative markets in stocks and Bitcoin surge to record levels. I too am concerned about the uncontrolled money creation the FED is doing to bailout the elite as well as the common citizen hurt by the unnecessary pandemic shutdowns, but keep in mind that the FED has been secretly creating money for decades far in excess of what their public numbers claim. They have been shoveling trillions out the door to bail out European banks for years, not to mention all the pallets full of hundred dollar bills they have shipped to Russia and Middle Eastern countries to pay off oligarchs and warlords.

None of that is recorded. In short, the pool of dollars is so much larger than any other country, they can inflate with near abandon and not have it come to hyperinflation—at least for now. I think they will use the coming war to replace the dollar, however, for a new world currency (controlled by the globalists).

Seeing that the world is buried under an unprecedented mountain of debt that is requiring more and more central planner intervention to keep from imploding on itself, Jim says history is clear on what happens next.

A clearing of the debt either via massive default, or destruction of the currency it’s denominated in.

He looks into the future and sees a terrible reckoning ahead; one he predicts will be “the worst economic crisis of my lifetime” — and Jim is 78 years old.

So where should investors look to preserve the purchasing power of their wealth against what’s coming?

Jim highly recommends precious metals and other commodities as an important part of the solution. As an overall index, commodities are the cheapest they’ve ever been vs the general stock market in over half a century.

Like many of the previous guest experts on our program, Jim maintains the near-term environment will be one of the most challenging times to invest in our lives.

Which is why he’s emphatic that now, more than ever, is the time to partner with a financial advisor who understands the risks in play, can craft an appropriate portfolio strategy for you given your needs, and apply sound risk management protection where appropriate.
