What Makes You Say, “No Way Am I Paying That”?

What Makes You Say, "No Way Am I Paying That"?Charles Hugh Smith – It’s a well-recognized human bias to feel losses more acutely than gains. Perhaps something similar occurs with inflation. As essentials soar in cost–i.e. non-discretionary expenses such as shelter, food at home, utilities, childcare, healthcare insurance, etc.–our only response is sighing resignation: yes, it’s a ripoff but there’s little we can do about it without making major changes in our lives.

Discretionary purchases are a different matter. The pleasures gained by the purchase are significant enough to be worth the financial cost. But at some point–a point that varies with each individual–the cost is so high that the pain of that expense outweighs the pleasure of the purchase. Continue reading

New BRICS Currency Boosts Gold & Destroys Dollar [Video]

New BRICS Currency Boosts Gold & Destroys Dollar Greg Hunter – Seven-time, best-selling financial author James Rickards predicted in his most recent best-seller called “Sold Out” why broken supply chains would cause big inflation. He was right, and he still contends, “Supply chain problems and inflation are not over.”

For an example of the supply chain still being in fragile shape, look no further than the failed grain deal between Ukraine and Russia last week.  Rickards points out, “Putin has been very patient about this.  He had a deal. Ukraine was not living up to their end of the deal.  Putin says we are the ones getting attacked, so, screw the deal.  What’s that going to do to the price of grain?  It’s going to send grain prices up, and it’s already up 10% just in a matter of days.” Continue reading

FBI Banana Republic, War Coming, Dollar Crashing [Video]

FBI Banana Republic, War Coming, Dollar Crashing Greg Hunter – A whistleblower exposing treasonous bribes against President Joe Biden was arrested and charged with 8 criminal counts.  This is what banana republics do at the end of the line when they want to stay in power after extreme corruption is exposed.  Meanwhile, the Head of the FBI Christopher Wray testified on Capitol Hill and was grilled by Congress on a variety of issues.

It appears he was caught in lies concerning censoring Americans through social media, and saying there was not FBI undercover presence at J6 in Washington D.C.  The crimes are now out in the open, and the lies to try to cover them up are too.  The FBI is now helping foster a banana republic government.

Bank Of England Chief Tells Brits They’re Poorer After Covid & Energy Crisis

Niamh Harris – The Bank of England’s chief economist Huw Pill has sparked outrage after saying that Brits must accept they are poorer after the Covid and energy crisis.

Pill, a former Goldman Sachs banker who earns £190k a year, says Brits must stop chasing big pay rises to keep up with soaring inflation and warned that their refusal to ‘take their share’ of the pain was generating the problem.

His comments emerged after figures showed food inflation still running at an eye-watering 17 per cent – with families struggling to get by. Continue reading

Ukraine War Causes Inflation & Higher Rates [Video]

 Ukraine War Causes Inflation & Higher RatesGreg Hunter – Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was forecasting “chaos” in 2023. The Ukraine war is ramping up. China looks like it’s getting ready to invade Taiwan. President Trump was indicted by radical Deep State Democrats. The FDIC had to rescue some big banks and stop an economic implosion, and it’s just the first few weeks of spring. Don’t look for things to get better.

Armstrong explains, “Bidens approval rating is collapsing. “Socrates” (Armstrong’s predictive computer program) has it now at 9.5%. . . .What they are going to do is try to start war before the election, and that’s what this is all about. Their theory is no president that has ever been engaged in a war has ever lost an election. You don’t change horses in midstream. So, they intend to actually start war.” Continue reading
