Rhine Impassable, Energy Bills Impossible!
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

The Rhine becomes impassable, electricity spikes to impossible levels, and Russia may be in no mood to help fix any of this by resuming normalized energy flows.  In short, Europe is screwed. Who remembers the 1972 song “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia” by Vicki Lawrence? Ok, it’s not about power outages, but…

Payrolls were surprisingly strong on Friday; headline +528k, with about 250k expected. Of course, this bit of economic good news caused equities to sell off, along with gold, silver, and the 10-year bond. The initial sell-off was all about disappointment surrounding the much-hoped for “Fed Pivot” – theory being, the weaker the economy appears, the…

Two things happened in the markets this week: The Fed Pivot What’s a Recession Anyway? First, the Pivot. Which hasn’t happened, insofar as I can see, but the markets appear to believe that the Fed has “pivoted” – setting up to raise rates less enthusiastically than previously thought. Listening to the Federal Open Market Committee…

China, Pelosi and Taiwan Update

A Special Weekend Report For Subscribers Well, I thought I might have a quiet weekend, but then events happened. In this case, the chatter and posturing between the U.S. and China over Taiwan has exploded. The proximal trigger seems to be Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Asia where deliberately provocative rumors were floated about a possible…

US Moves to Isolate Russia, Taiwan Prepares for War, Emerging Markets

I have a few global concerns for this week. First, members of Congress continue calls to designate Russia a state sponsor of terror. Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the move was “long overdue” and a resolution has support from 99 senators. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was holding off his support until he…

It’s official. Dr. Birx has confirmed that her decisions about U.S. lockdowns were based on what the Chinese were telling us. Their propaganda. Not science. Not data. Let that sink in for a minute. Your income. Your business. Your children’s health. Your mental well-being. The health of a nation and its economy. Based on Chinese…

I’ll lead again with my new focus: rate increases.  Where are we?

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old. I love the considerations that the article had above and thought I would add a few things that I have considered for our situation. My...
