The Impossible Financial Trap That Leads To The Great Reset
by Chris Martenson

The U.S. Government is facing an impossible financial future. The Doom Loop has been activated. It’s a death spiral that ends with the destruction of the U.S. dollar or a depression so bad it might as well be called Dark Ages II. This is what happens at the tail end of decades of really piss-poor…

Your “Adjustment Reaction” Will Be Your Fate
by Ivor

An “Adjustment Reaction” is the very normal, usual, and human set of responses to a threat or new risk.  We all have one and we all go through them.  It’s just that some go through them much faster than others.  Perhaps that’s you.  Perhaps it’s not.  Either way, you should be aware of the process…

Bond Market Troubles Will Take Away The Fed’s Printing Press
by Adam Taggart

Those cheering today’s sky-high asset prices say they don’t worry because “the Fed has the market’s back”

And they haven’t been wrong to-date. There’s no doubt that the Fed’s $trillions in monetary stimulus has pushed the prices of stocks, bonds, real estate and nearly every other asset class to all-time highs.

But the Fed’s ability to print money with impunity may not last forever. In fact, veteran money manager Bill Fleckenstein warns it could end this year.

Living On Borrowed Time
by Adam Taggart

A full decade and some $14 Trillion in newly-printed money later, plus the cheapest interest rates in recorded history, and yet the central banks have not been able to restore growth to the global economy. The experiment has failed.

What good is Dow 30,000 if 75% of us can’t afford a house or scrape together $400 in an emergency?

The Fed Is Lying To Us
by Chris Martenson

The recent statements from the Federal Reserve and the other major world central banks (the ECB, BoJ, BoE and PBoC) are alarming because their actions are completely out of alignment with what they’re telling us.

Their words seek to soothe us that “everything’s fine” and the global economy is doing quite well. But their behavior reflects a desperate anxiety.

Put more frankly; we’re being lied to.

Why Common Knowledge Changes The World
by Chris Martenson

For those paying attention, there have been plenty of signs indicating that financial asset prices are dangerously overvalued and that the decade-long economic expansion is reversing towards recession.

But the mainstream — until just recently — has refused to see this.

Steve Keen: Economists Have Left Out Energy!
by Chris Martenson

Over the past decade, the world’s central banks have distorted the price of money by bringing interest rates to record lows. With credit so cheap, asset prices have risen dramatically as companies and governments have borrowed to the hilt. And now with the “Everything Bubble” threatening to burst (perhaps in mid-bursting already?), we’re suddenly realizing…

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...
