The Signs Say “Yes”
by Chris Martenson

China’s statements and actions are consistent with a nation preparing for war. Or, at least an intelligent nation, unlike the EU which poked, prodded and finally got a war on with Russia, but failed to prepare meaningfully, or at all, beforehand. You know what? I am so used to defective leadership that it now seems…

There were three important economic reports this week: Retail Sales (RSXFS): -0.59% month over month, prior +1.29% m/m. Negative, especially the month before Commercialized Christmas. Industrial Production (INDPRO): -0.22% m/m, prior +2.45%.  Negative. Consumer Price Index (CPIAUCSL); +0.10% m/m, prior +0.44%. Falling energy prices are mostly responsible for the decline. Unlike last week, this picture…

Gold, Labor Shortages, Rate Increases; Musk: A Case Study
 PREVIEW
by davefairtex

On the week, gold fell 10.50 [-0.58%] to 1800.20. All of the losses happened on Thursday. The candle print was mildly bearish, but gold remains above the MA50 and the MA200.  Gold does appear to have run into a little bit of trouble.  Perhaps this is hinting about a potential low in the buck? Open…

The TRUTH About the DARKNESS Among Us
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

A truly fascinating conversation opened up in last week’s member’s-only comment thread on government-corporate censorship. It sparked within me a wide range of ideas and convinced me it’s time to take the gloves off and say what I really think. There’s a true darkness lurking within the twin swamps of DC and corporate America. They…

Previously, I wrote about Bugging-In, staying in your current dwelling to ride out a crisis situation. This article is about Bugging-Out, the act of making the determination that it is better to vacate the premises than stick around during a crisis. My hope is that anyone contemplating this option has taken a long and hard…
