Executive Summary
- The #1 reason the entire system will collapse: oil
- Why the Fed is stuck with the Zombie economy it created
- How I am hedging against the inflation of the printing press
- Why we need to be our own heroes in this story — the authorities certainly won’t
If you have not yet read Part 1: One Step removed, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
Our approach at Peak Prosperity is to begin at the top and then work down. We’ve got a framework for understanding the world and assigning priorities to our actions.
The big picture view is this: infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. Yet our entire system of money and our economic systems are all predicated on the idea of infinite growth. Quite the conundrum, eh?
To me there’s no contest and no conundrum to solve. Reality wins out every time. If you overfish the seas and the fisheries collapse, then the reality of that wins out over whatever ‘the market’ demands. Fish prices could double or quintuple and still no more fish will emerge from the empty sea.
The most basic reality that we all live under – yours truly especially included – is that fossil fuel energy delivers pretty much everything we see around us, everything we consume, and supports everything we do.
Even with some rosy projections for August and September, it’s clear that…

Executive Summary
- Revisiting the Ka-POOM! Theory. Do recent development alter its predicted outcome?
- Decision-making in an era of increasingly untrustworthy reported data
- The Everything Bubble is now in full melt-up. Poised for a crash, or the start of a new era?
- Positioning for the Endgame
If you have not yet read Part 1: It’s Time To Position For The End Game, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
What’s the more likely event at this point: a deflationary crash or runaway inflation?
For a long time, Peak Prosperity co-founder Adam Taggart and I have hewed to the “Ka-POOM!” theory, which states that a major deflation will scare the central banks so badly that they overreact and pour too much liquidity into the system, thereby destroying it.
To visualize how this will play out, think of what happened in Beirut this week. Customs officials there stored thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at their seaport, for years. The pile just sat there doing absolutely nothing.
After years of inaction, the port authorities became lulled into the erroneous conclusion that nothing would ever happen.
But then one day a spark came to life, starting a fire, and then all at once — POOM! — the entire thing blew up with devastating effect.
This analogy works pretty well here as we approach the Keynesian endgame facing the global economy. The pile of $trillions in bad debts issued over the past decades has been the fertilizer. Covid-19 was the spark. And now we’re simply waiting for the entire economic and financial system to explode.
Which is why it’s so critical now to prepare by focusing on…

Executive Summary
- Hard logic for hard assets
- The role of “control” and why it will be field the collapse of the system will be fought on
- Recent learnings from my own journey worth knowing
- Why I am certain things will get darker before they improve
If you have not yet read Part 1: A Serious Message From Chris Martenson, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
I never thought that we’d be here. It could have all unfolded so differently if society had made better choices. It didn’t have to be this way.
But here we are.
My personal planning now revolves around these trends continuing:
- Money printing will continue and accelerate if they think it necessary
- SARS-CoV-2 will be poorly managed at the state level and even worse at the federal level
I’ve seen these trends coming. And I am not at all surprised by them.
But deep down I am very concerned that our national “managers” (not leaders) are very close to doubling down so forcefully on their current failed policies that the entire system breaks — badly. For those similarly concerned, I share the key preparations I think are most important for you to take right now.
