The Banking Crisis is Far from Over with John Rubino

0

by Kerry Lutz, Financial Survival Network:

John Rubino explains that regional and local banks are still facing a banking crisis due to bonds on their balance sheets and commercial real estate losses. He also discusses how the experts have failed to manage the economy, leading to instability and mistrust. Finally, he suggests that markets should dictate policy instead of dictators.

John and Kerry discussed the potential of a movie script featuring two presidential candidates running from prison, as well as the implications of Fox News firing Tucker Carlson, who was a popular truth-teller. They also discussed the possibility of Carlson leaving Fox to make more money and the potential of a three-letter agency being involved in JFK’s assassination.

0

by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:

After a record-setting 2022, central banks continued to buy gold in the first quarter of 2023, setting a new Q1 record.

Overall, global central bank gold reserves increased by 228 tons through the first three months of 2023. This was 38% higher than the previous first-quarter record set in 2013.

Total central bank gold buying in 2022 came in at 1,136 tons. It was the highest level of net purchases on record dating back to 1950, including since the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold in 1971. It was the 13th straight year of net central bank gold purchases.

Argentina Sleepwalks into Hyperinflation (Yet Again)

0

by Manuel García Gojon, Mises Institute:

The Argentine peso has lost half its value in one year. Both the official and parallel exchange rates with the US dollar and the Mexican peso have doubled in one year. Consumer prices have doubled in one year. The quantity of Argentine pesos has doubled in one year. All the rates at which these variables are increasing have also doubled in one year. Expecting everything to double again in half a year is now a conservative projection.

We Cannot Stop the Societal Collapse That’s Coming

by JD Rucker, Discern Report:

There’s a scene in the Liam Neeson movie “Taken” where he’s on the phone with his daughter. Men are there to kidnap her and she’s a world away from him in Europe. As a former intel agent, he knows what’s going to happen and realizes there’s no way to stop it. As much as he’d love to come up with a way for his daughter to escape or fight off the assailants, he knows the best thing he can do is to prepare her by telling her the truth.

“Now, the next part is very important — they’re going to take you,” he said.

What We Get for $50 Trillion

from Moonbattery:

Let’s pretend for a minute that there is something wrong with the weather. If we let Democrats bankrupt the country by spending $50 trillion on climate worship virtue signaling, how much weather improvement do we get for the money?

Most readers know the short answer: none. Senator John Kennedy pries the long answer out of Biden Regime apparatchik David Turk of the Department of Energy (which should be abolished):

Why Are Federal Agencies Being Armed With Military Grade Weapons and Gear?

by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D., The New American:

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.” — Declaration of Independence

The IRS, the U.S. Postal Service, the EPA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and more than 100 other federal agencies (none of which operate under the aegis of the Department of Defense) have “spent $3.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment,” according to a new report on the arming of the bureaucracy.

Deposits at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo Shrank by $465 Billion Y-O-Y; More than Twice the Total of 4,000 Small Banks

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade:

Since the banking crisis began making headlines at expensive media real estate, the narrative has been that deposits are fleeing the small commercial banks and flooding into the biggest banks that are perceived as too-big-to-fail and thus offer a safer venue for deposits.

Because these mega banks are the same ones that the Fed has been bailing out since the financial crisis of 2008, that narrative requires believing that our fellow Americans are dumber than a stump.

Economic Despair Is Rapidly Spreading As The Cost Of Living Rises To Extremely Oppressive Levels

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

This new economic downturn is starting to bite, and we are starting to see signs of severe pain all over the nation.  In fact, unless you are independently wealthy, you are likely feeling pain too.  The cost of living has risen to extreme oppressive levels, and this has happened at a time when close to two-thirds of the country was already living paycheck to paycheck.  As a result, many Americans are having their finances stretched to the breaking point, and millions of them are reaching out for help.  For example, on Saturday morning the line of people waiting for assistance at one of Boston’s largest food pantries “stretched the length of two football fields”
