Off The Cuff with Stephen Flood
 PREVIEW

This week on Off the Cuff, I sit down for an Off The Cuff discussion with Stephen Flood, the CEO of GoldCore. Zoom didn’t treat me well on the recorded output file.  Please excuse the slight audio sync issue that occurs to me (and me only) during the middle part of the video.   The beginning…

The big global-economic news was the BOE raising rates 50 bp (to 5%) on Thursday, when the expected move was +25 bp.  (Source – Pfizer/Reuters). “Joseph…

Is Nuclear War Survivable?
by Chris Martenson

This story was originally posted in March of 2022.  I really hate being here again. Seems every so often world events come together to make the prospect of the use of nuclear weapons a possibility.  Here was a tweet from Michael Yon just this morning. Dutch base with nukes went dark. Poland DEFCON 1. Russia…

Three reports: Existing Home Sales (EXHOSLUSM495S): -2.42% m/m, but +10% y/y. Philly Fed Manufacturing Index: expected -19.4, actual -31.3.  Recessionary. Fed Balance Sheet (WALCL): -21B w/w [-0.25% w/w]. Rates this week were mostly unchanged – except for that red-circled 1-month treasury yield which plunged an incredible 95 basis points in just one week!  Money continues…

The US and NATO are already at war with Russia.  This is what a recent trove of leaked Department of Defense revealed. There’s no other conclusion that can be drawn. You need to know about this so you can plan accordingly.  The chance of some sort of a tactical error mushrooming into a much larger…

Can Western Civilization Be Saved?
by Chris Martenson

While the vast proportion of the world’s population, along with its energy and manufacturing centers, is busy moving towards a multipolar world, western civilization is wrapped around an axle composed of completely meaningless but emotionally violent topics. Whether there are 2 or 15 different genders is entirely irrelevant if there’s no food, or the lights…

Welcome to Episode 56.  This is a BIG one.  Possibly. How has China been wooing everybody of late?  From getting Saudi Arabia and Iran to play nice and reopen diplomatic relations, to getting Syria back in the Middle East fold, to now getting France via Macron to suddenly shift his tune. What is Xi saying…

France is still in public turmoil, but you wouldn’t know it from the media, which is ignoring France as if instructed to. Perhaps they have been. The French people have had it with the imperious ways of Macron and, by extension, the whole lot of WEF overlords and Brussels technocrats.  The French have a long…
