“A twofer from our pal Pastor Stanley”
Two months ago I penned an article entitled ‘Crypto Conglomerate Digital Currency Group (DCG) is at the Epicenter of the Cryptocurrency Earthquake’ to outline the risks to crypto and specifically why DCG is one of the focal points of the trouble.
Crypto giant Genesis Trading, who is owned by DCG, filed for bankruptcy yesterday after suffering crippling loses in the aftermath of the FTX debacle. Genesis is now working toward a deal with over 100,000 creditors (victims) who were owed money following FTX’s failure inside the parameters of Chapter 11.
Now in light of the Genesis situation its parent Digital Currency Group is considering bankruptcy itself according to The Daily Mail:
Bill’s commentary:
“I do believe Michael is correct in his analysis”
I can’t take it anymore. Fake numbers that are released by the government get turned into fake news by the corporate media, and many Americans don’t even realize that they are being conned. Major news outlets all over the country are breathlessly trumpeting the “blockbuster jobs report” as if it is a sign from heaven that good economic times are ahead. We are being told that the U.S. economy added 517,000 jobs last month, but that isn’t true. Sadly, the truth is that the U.S. economy actually lost 2.5 million jobs in January. Yes, you read that correctly. So how in the world does a loss of 2.5 million jobs become a “gain” of 517,000 jobs? Every month, government bureaucrats apply “adjustments” to the numbers that they believe are appropriate, and at this point their “adjustments” have become so absurd that they have turned the monthly employment report into a total farce.
Bill’s commentary:
“Pepe Escobar on Ukraine”
Make no mistake!
The following is my opinion, and as long as there is our Lord and Father God in Heaven and the U.S. Constitution, I get to have an opinion. I believe we are watching a global depopulation event in real time. There are dots out there, many of them. Actually, TOO MANY of them. We are bombarded with information, some real but mostly false depending on where you get your information. If you cut through the chafe, here are a few dots to connect.
I am in my early 60’s and honestly do not ever remember hearing or seeing news that any food facility blew up or caught on fire, ever? Until about a year and a half ago. Something like 130 of them so far! This is the latest one Estimated 100,000 hens killed in Connecticut farm fire, officials say | Fox News Hopefully you do understand where our food supply comes from? There are not little elves in the back of your grocery store producing it for you … Can you control a people if you control their food supply? (I won’t even get into GMO’s and other ways our food supply has already become compromised)
Another thing I don’t ever remember is high school students up to world class athletes in many various sports …just dying “suddenly”? Over the years, I personally only remember 6 incidents where a sudden death occurred, most were heat related. So people are dying at an unprecedented rate 40% Rise Nationwide in Excess Deaths Among 18- to 49-Year-Olds, CDC Data Show • Children’s Health Defense (childrenshealthdefense.org) Video: Pfizer’s “Secret” Report on the Covid Vaccine. Beyond Manslaughter. The Evidence is Overwhelming. The Vaccine Should Be Immediately Withdrawn Worldwide – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalization and the press and slow population cannot figure out why? There is only one new variable, and that would be the “safe and effective” vaccine? Do you get to eat, or God forbid protest …if you are dead?
Then there is the real tin foil hat stuff, like 5G towers and graphene oxide? Or chemtrails? Or what our children are being taught in public schools, paid for by OUR TAXES! Or, JFK and 911? Can ANYONE defend the official stories? Buehler? JFK’s assassination was the beginning of the end for the American people. For the most part, they swallowed it hook, line, and sinker!
And of course, we have “finance” and your money. How would you make out if the banks closed? And then of course no stores are open? Sort of tough getting that half gallon of milk for your cereal …if you have cereal? Oh, and don’t forget about CBDC’s (central bank digital currencies)? Do you remember Canadian’s having their bank accounts shut off because they sent $10 to the trucker’s fund? Can you eat, and thus live to have an opinion and protest …if your “money” is shut off? Are you starting to get the picture?
I would be remiss if I did not include the “financial aspect” of this. We live in a world that is more overlevered on any ratio basis, either nominal or real, IN ALL OF HISTORY! Maybe you should read the book, “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin if you want a very broad roadmap of the plan? I have written many financial articles in the past outlining what is wrong. Boiled down, there is far more debt (and especially derivatives) than can ever be paid back. The world is in the process of bankrupting. Say what you like, this is pure math. And of course, since every currency on the planet is fiat, and thus total bullshit, the population is out there working and scraping for “nothings” ($) to provide their survival? And what about those of wealth? Are they contracted in, or do they save in “nothings”? When governments go broke, what will remain of personal savings and investments? Just asking for a friend …
There are more dots out there, but these should suffice. Do you see that your life, your lifestyle, your whole world, is under attack? We truly live in a messed up world. Everything you are “fed” is a lie. An extremely small portion of the population is driving ridiculous narratives like “men can have babies”. Shut up! But there is a bright side to all of this. Because the financial system will collapse completely, people will finally come to their senses and be forced to “wake up” …albeit too late!
Can you imagine a world where there are no “services”? How will those who believe themselves to be “entitled” survive? Do you really believe a farmer will provide food for a purple haired tranny who promises to pay him in bitcoin as soon as the system comes back up? And just so people don’t think I am purple, or trans phobic, do you really think Popeye will provide Wimpy with his hamburger today for money on Tuesday? Survival of the fittest will prevail but there will be many who are not fit enough!
I believe we are living in, and witnessing a mass depopulation event. No, not by any bad luck or coincidence, it is a plan. Do not take my word for it, just listen to what the global elites have told you …AND THEY HAVE TOLD you because it is poor manners in their world to not warn someone ahead of time. If you do not listen, then they deem it your fault and only your fault. Make no mistake, the world looks far different today than it did just three years ago. It will likely be unrecognizable within a year or maybe even less. It will be called the New Normal, but it will be anything but normal!
Standing a horrified watch,
Bill Holter
Bill commentary:
“12% of the world’s population? 100 times the size of Nuremburg…? Soon people will understand this. Then what?”
CV19 bioweapon vax truth warrior Dr. Betsy Eads has been warning of a “Tsunami of ‘vaccine’ deaths coming in the next two years.” The number of people dying and getting permanent disabilities is increasing. That is no surprise with 600 million CV19 injections being administered in America alone. There have been about 13 billion CV19 injections given worldwide. The estimation of dead and permanently disabled is stunning and criminal. Dr. Eads explains, “In my personal opinion that a billion people will either die or be permanently disabled. A new “Expose” article shows 5,162% increase in deaths (in Australia) from this bioweapon shot since 2020.

A bankrupt Holiday Inn in Manhattan’s Financial District has won the right in court to house migrants to the tune of $190-a night, a fee that will total $100,000 a day for taxpayers.
US Bankruptcy Judge Philip Bentley approved the 50-story hotel’s application to sign a contract which could last until April 2024 with the city which will bring in around $10.5 million into the Holiday Inn’s coffers over the next 14 months, reports Bloomberg.

“Visuals from our old pal Dismal Dave!”
‘Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.’ Theodore Roosevelt. (1858-1919).

“Please pay close attention to the last paragraph. Sounds like a taunt to me but what do I know?”
On 23rd January, the Embassy was asked by Bloomberg about U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen’s statements about Zambia’s debt issue related to China during her visit in Zambia. Below is the full text of the Embassy Spokesperson’s response:
Assuming Secretary Yellen’s statements about debt were correct, the best prospect of the debt issues outside the U.S. would be the U.S. Treasury Department solving the U.S.’ own domestic debt problem, given how well she knows about facts, her professional capacities and her team’s implementation ability.
Bill’s commentary:
“Coming to a fiat near you? “
BEIRUT (Reuters) -Lebanon will adopt a new official exchange rate of 15,000 pounds per U.S. dollar on Feb. 1, central bank governor Riad Salameh said, marking a 90% devaluation from its current official rate that has remained unchanged for 25 years.
The shift from the old rate of 1,507 to 15,000 is still far off the parallel market, where the pound was changing hands at around 57,000 per dollar on Tuesday.
Bill’s commentary:
“If Adani went down, would it be an isolated event?”
AHMEDABAD, India—Gautam Adani is ubiquitous in this country.
His name is plastered on roadside billboards and on the airports and shipping docks he operates. His power plants light Mumbai office towers and irrigate rural fields, fueled by coal he imports from mines as far away as Australia. He recently expanded into defense and media.
So when U.S. short seller Hindenburg Research alleged last week that the Adani Group—the energy and infrastructure conglomerate he controls—was engaged in wide-ranging fraud, the fallout was widespread and severe. His companies’ stocks and bonds plunged, leaving investors with billions of dollars in losses and igniting a bitter fight that the company cast as an assault on the nation itself. On Wednesday, Mr. Adani’s flagship company, Adani Enterprises, canceled a stock sale of up to $2.5 billion.
Bill’s commentary:
“Journalism didn’t just “go away”, it has been gone for quite a few years now!”
We previously discussed the movement in journalism schools to get rid of principles of objectivity in journalism. Advocacy journalism is the new touchstone in the media even as polls show that trust in the media is plummeting. Now, former executive editor for The Washington Post Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward have released the results of their interviews with over 75 media leaders and concluded that objectivity is now considered reactionary and even harmful. Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle said it plainly: “Objectivity has got to go.”
Bill’s commentary:
“A pretty big supply deficit for both gold AND silver last year!”
Central banks bought 1,136 tons of gold last year. It was the second-highest level of net purchases on record dating back to 1950. It was the 13th straight year of net central bank gold purchases.
Central banks added 417 tons of gold to their reserves in Q4, bringing the total in H2 to 862 tons. This was due to a combination of reported buying by central banks in Turkey, India, Uzbekistan, and many other emerging markets, along with an estimate for significant unreported buying. Central banks that often fail to report purchases include China and Russia. Many analysts believe China is the mystery buyer stockpiling gold to minimize exposure to the dollar.
Bill’s commentary:
“Funny thing about bubbles when they fully burst, they do not just go to the “mean”. They overshoot and sometimes by a large factor. Of course, there would have to be a system still “up and running” also?”
Should bubble symmetry play out in the S&P 500, we can anticipate a steep 45% drop to pre-bubble levels, followed by another leg down as the speculative frenzy is slowly extinguished.
Bubble symmetry is, well, interesting. The dot-com stock market bubble circa 1995-2003 offers a classic example of bubble symmetry, though there are many others as well. The key feature of bubble symmetry is the entire bubble retraces in roughly the same time frame as it took to soar to absurd heights.
Bill’s commentary:
“This is ultimately a ‘dollar problem.’ The world has, and is moving away from trade with any US participation and avoiding the SWIFT system like the plague!”
Russia, Iran, and India are speeding up efforts to complete a new transport corridor that would largely cut Europe, its sanctions, and any other threats out of the picture. The International North-South Transport Corridor (NSTC) is a land-and sea-based 7,200-km long network comprising rail, road and water routes that are aimed at reducing costs and travel time for freight transport in a bid to boost trade between Russia, Iran, Central Asia, India.
For Russia, the “sanction-proof” corridor provides a major export channel to South Asia without needing to go through Europe. But Brussels and Washington, frustrated by their losing in Ukraine and inability to put much of a dent in the Russian economy, could lead them to take more desperate measures.
Bill’s commentary:
“Too funny, notice the WSJ’s “slur” that the man knows Ron Paul? Well, Ron Paul knows real money …and fake money IS THE PROBLEM!”
No risk, no reward.
While Mark Spitznagel wouldn’t disagree, a letter from the star hedge-fund manager seen by The Wall Street Journal has some striking insights on both fronts. A protégé of “Black Swan” author Nassim Nicholas Taleb noted on the occasion of his fund’s 15-year anniversary that using it to hedge a standard stock portfolio would have enhanced long-run returns through its bets on extremely bearish events.

Congratulations on the website! My path to the Great Depression started with my Texas grandfather and uncles telling their stories about the crash, closing the banks and getting electricity on the farm. Since then I have studied and became a hard money advocate, with help from Richard Russell. Glad you’re back.

I am 90% gold and silver in my savings however I have decided that everything made of the 92 elements are also money. I am thinking that I would like to have half of my gold converted to other elements or compounds. Like perhaps starting with food and then copper, nickle, aluminum, cobalt. Which do you think might increase in value as well as or better than gold? Dollars have been cash for a long time, as a third part of the ratio of elements or things. Dollars can crash but things are always worth something. The ratio of elements to other things without cash would be the new wealth. Do we really need cash that has always crashed or been manipulated by governments?

Bill happy to see your new website. Always looked forward to your money and investing strategy. I grew up with parents that lived through the war in England. My Dad always stressed the point of having assets in gold and silver. He always saw the world as a possible monetary collapse. And living through a time where fiat currency was useless. He said gold and silver fed him and his family through times of extreme shortages in food and everyday items. So my love of metal ownership came at a young age and continues today
