The yen slices right through Japan’s defensive line at 160, housing sales slump as prices make one last push into truly insane territory and the equity “”markets”” are not behaving as if they are tethered to either economic data or geopolitical risk.بقلم Chris Martenson

We’re facing attacks on many fronts, but food has been on the main attack vectors on American health and well-being for a very long time. Click Here for Part 2بقلم Chris Martenson

We’ve come to the end of the road. There’s no more ‘can-kicking’ to be done. The US is now in the exponential blow-off phase of fiscal irresponsibility and the Fed is out of options. Save the Dollar or save the Treasury bond market. The BRICS have long-since figured this out. Now it’s time for Western investors to catch on.…

As we lurch toward war, the sensitive topic of the drained strategic petroleum reserve is sure to crop up. Perhaps in an effort to blunt that among its dwindling viewer base, MSNBC tells a whopper of a lie.بقلم Chris Martenson

The BLS turns in a whopper, continuing the steady stream of fraudulent economic statistics we been gaslit with of late. Oh, and Saudi Arabia is frowning at the Kissinger era petrodollar agreement…so the US has offered a binding treaty to come to their aid if they are attacked. Wait…I thought the US didn’t need anybody’s oil anmore?…

When shall the US government return to sanity? “Nevermore!” our guest Chris Irons might say. Without necessary guardrails and consequences the failed leadership of DC and the Fed have taken us down a paths that had a binary outcome; bad and worse. Click Here for Part 2بقلم Chris Martenson

Trying to make sense of the world these days is certainly a full-time job. Among the many puzzling signals right now are Us and European equities powering higher and higher without any apparent regard for the risk of a war with Russia, deteriorating consumer data, or a still inverted yield curve (a historically accurate indicator of an imminent rec…

Would it surprise you to learn of (yet another) stealth bailout of banks? This time it’s the US Treasury stepping into that role. But why now, and is this anything other than one more popping sound coming from the financial system plumbing? Tune in to learn more…بقلم Chris Martenson

Finally a Congressional inquiry has revealed what we always suspected. A vast conspiracy was running inside and outside of the NIH to actively deceive the world about the true origins of the Covid virus. Fauci lied, people died. We demand consequences. Click Here for Part 2بقلم Chris Martenson

This week Paulk has dug up some vital content…introducing the BRICS proposal to supplant the dollar, but not with their own different-but-the-same version. “The Unit” would be decentralized and support smart contracts and basically threatens the entirety of Western monetary hegemony and banks as intermediaries.…

The NIH has admitted to funding gain of function research in Wuhan. The evil cabal of virologists is in full-blown damage control mode. It’s go time people. Click Here for Part 2بقلم Chris Martenson

Well, it’s that time of the month again. Yes, I am talking about when the BLS, who really but the BS in everything they do, put out their laughably fake inflation numbers.بقلم Chris Martenson

The bird flu threat cropped up of late and it has some surprises for us to examine. But also some echoes of Covid in terms of involving labs and the same shady crew of international virologists who used their positions to deflect from Covid inquiry and truth.

The economy is weaker than advertised. The BLS and other government agencies are no longer even pretending to tell the truth and aren’t ashamed to be colossally wrong as long as the errors help support the idea that things are better than they really are.بقلم Chris Martenson

If I’m reading the tea leaves correctly, we’ve just been told that a massive realignment of power is about to unfold in the US. And we can detect this in the proposed tax code changes. Click Here for Part 2بقلم Chris Martenson

Today, I welcome back David Rodgers Webb, Author of “The Great Taking”. For me, this journey began after an initial reading of David’s book, and a weekend down the rabbit hole, followed by my first interview with David last November. Nearly a thousand hours of research later, and a complete series of deep dives on the topic, I am pleased to talk wi…

The deeper I went the more I had to learn. Honestly, the Great Taking inquiry and everywhere it led me was similar to the effort that went into my Covid work. The final conclusion?

The financial system has evolved into a highly efficient machine…for skimming profits and using opaque complexities to hide the sheer magnitude of the operation. Sure, we get cheaper trades on a per trade basis, but with billions of trades the tiny slices add up. Importantly, the system has a number of weak points about which every investors and fi…

Every investor needs to carefully consider the implications of gold’s recent breakout. It all began on Feb 28th, 2022 when the US seized Russia’s sovereign assets. The rest of the world seems to be saying “message received!” and this will greatly complicate an already precarious US fiscal situation.بقلم Chris Martenson

I have some good news and some bad news. SIPC ‘insurance’ coverage for your brokerage portfolio operates reasonably well (that’s the good news) but is woefully undercapitalized for a true financial crisis. How much it may or may not cover is far more difficult to unearth than it should be. Here’s what you need to know. Click Here for Part 2…

The US is on a fiscally unsustainable path, which has dire implications. Tough words, but they aren’t mine, they are those of the US Treasury Department. Those who can absorb these ideas and respond early tot heir implications have the best chance at a more prosperous future.بقلم Chris Martenson

“Do you want to live in a world that is free?” This is the the topic at the core of this interview. Make no mistake, whether you are paying attention or not, there’s an anti-free agenda well underway and with a head of steam. One that involved the WEF, WHO, UN, NGOs and other groups and individuals dedicated to delivering more chaos.…

Now why would Wall Street place its most sensitive plumbing needs in the hands of a man whose prior work experience mainly included working for the arm of the CIA that busied itself with overthrowing foreign governments? That’s a darned good question. One which we’ll explore today because it concerns your ownership of ‘your’ stock & bond portfolio.…

You know what’s crazier than a NY Department of Health? The Appeals Court judges who ruled that NY lawmakers “don’t have standing” to argue their Constitutional right to make and pass the laws of NY state.

“They would never do that” people have told me in response to The Great Taking. Many of them financial professionals. Well, I’ve got some harsh news for these folks, it’s already happened. The trigger has not only been installed, but the test cases have seen that trigger pulled. To think they went through all that trouble only to not use it is naiv…

Why are the markets behaving as they are? Nobody knows, but it’s clear that fundamentals have taken the back seat. Are they sniffing out past or future money printing, or both? More importantly, how does one begin to protect their wealth during such a time?بقلم Chris Martenson

The game has been rigged against you and toward Big Banks and other major financial players. This concerns the so-called “Safe Harbor” provision which grants those big players the right to reach into a failing or failed financial company and take what they feel they are owed. Most of you will find this shocking, and you should. It’s deeply unfair, …

The Federal Reserve (et al) have abdicated their responsibility to the average person as well as the future, and have settled into the role of “serial bubble blower(s).” But how to play along without getting burned? That’s the age-old question, isn’t it? Tune in for this topic.بقلم Chris Martenson
