👉A Dollar Crash is Inevitable, Dr. Stephen Roach Warns !!








A Dollar Crash is Inevitable, Dr. Stephen Roach Warns. The stronger dollar era may be on borrowed time. Stephen Roach, one of the world’s leading authorities on Asia, is worried a changing global landscape paired with a massive U.S. budget deficit will spark a dollar crash. “The U.S. economy has been afflicted with some significant macro imbalances for a long time, namely a very low domestic savings rate and a chronic current account deficit,” the former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Monday. “The dollar is going to fall very, very sharply.” Roach predicts a 35% decline in the U.S. currency against its major rivals in the near future, citing increases in the nation’s deficit and dwindling savings. He added that the rise of China and the decoupling of the U.S. from its trade partners is likely to end the supremacy of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Dr. Roach is right that sooner or later, manipulating the dollar for our own purposes will come back to bite us. So much of the US prosperity these past decades has come from having the "reserve currency" with the willingness (now gone) to make sacrifices for the world order. The bottom line is that $4 trillion in stimulus has been created to deal with Covid-19. The national debt just passed $26 trillion (130% of GDP). When you create more money, its value must go down, unless other currencies are also being increased at the same rate. While Europe and Japan have also passed their own stimulus, they haven't created proportionally as much new money as the US. Meanwhile, China and Russia have so far refrained from using unconventional fiscal policies. Russia's government debt as a percentage of GDP is actually among the lowest in the world. Not everyone is in the same boat. The US will one day have to face economic consequences for what it has been doing for decades. But what's going to replace the dollar? Certainly not the euro. The yuan? China is even more manipulative of the yuan than the US is of the dollar. China has no transparency, and it has massive internal yuan debt over two times its GDP that is its priority rather than supporting the yuan as the new world reserve currency. The dollar's appeal is that it is 'the cleanest shirt in dirty laundry.' But, it's going to take a lot more than structural change before the yuan can even begin to function as a reserve currency. When people get really scared they go to Swiss Francs or gold. Any asset that can be arbitrarily revalued at the whim of the Chinese Communist Party can only be speculative. The dollar can be replaced by a basket of convertible currencies. In fact, individual investors should do some of that through international diversification. The era of the U.S. dollar’s “exorbitant privilege” as the world’s primary reserve currency is coming to an end. The days of the dollar as the world's reserve currency are numbered. This does not bode well for the future of the U.S. We have lost our leadership position in many areas. The decline will be painful. Oil and gold are starting to trade in other currencies. When the US dollar is no longer the world standard, America is in real trouble. The Federal Reserve deserves a huge part of the blame. The dollar is losing value against all major currencies. We have almost no savings and mountains of debt. We can't pay our bills unless the FED monetizes it. The political situation is not helping either, and it will continue and accelerate the downfall with more political turmoil and uncertainty. Some countries that are heavy US Dollar reserve holders will find themselves losing a lot of purchasing/exchange value. Trump destroyed confidence in the US, and he has alienated a ton of countries, including allies. China and Russia have already started trading oil in a non-dollar currency. If there's an alternative, other countries are certainly open to pursuing and using it. SDRs which were created by the IMF is a basket of currencies, albeit with the US dollar as the main currency. But that can change. With all that is going on in the US, more countries will look somewhere else. What's the dollar's future now that the Fed created an additional $5 trillion in just the last few months! This is an election year. The Fed could bail out every state, city, corporation, and pension plan even if it costs $50 trillion. We are going to use dollar bills as toilet paper within five years. Probably in three years. When the fed is printing trillions of dollars a month, something will eventually need to give. In the 1980s, the total debt was around 1 trillion. We are now adding that much each month to both the fed balance sheet and the national debt. Zimbabwe here we come. The dollar is a dead currency walking. With the Fed now creating more dollars in a month than they used to do in a year, we're going to have hyperinflation like Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany or Venezuela. Massive money printing always leads to hyperinflation. I expect the dollar to be dead within three years. China has been making deals all over the world to trade with other countries in the Chinese currency. The banknote known as the dollar was placed in a coffin by Nixon. Removing even the idea of the gold backing the currency spelled its death. It has been buried six feet ever since. All fiat eventually goes to zero. As the US continues to pump phony money, eventually we will be papering our walls with it. The Ruble and the Deutschmark at their lowest come to mind. First, the dollar falls, then rampant inflation kicks in. The US has done a magnificent job with the smoke and mirrors while debt keeps rising. Now the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that they might not be able to pay back all the loans. In principal, US dollars should lose 50% of its value by 2025 due to infinite QE that will have printed close to $20T by then. But, the strength of a currency is relative. The competitors of the US Dollar, such as the Euro, GBP, and Yen, are in a far worse state than the dollar. If you put $1 in a T-bill in Jan 2000 and held that until Jan 2015 before cashing it in, accounting for interest paid, taxes on that interest, and the currency devaluation over those 15 years, you would have just 75 cents of the original buying power of that dollar left. Investing in the US is a BAD financial decision. The rest of the world is waking up to that realization. The US dollar today has just 2 cents the purchasing power it did in 1950. When it finally loses its World Reserve status, it will jump from $1500 per oz of gold to $30,000 per oz of gold within a year. And the US will become just another 3rd world debtor nation. The dollar is as dead as the USSR ruble or the ancient Greek souvlaki. If you have any, you should rid yourself of them forthwith. You should hold your dollars in other assets and convert them when needed. Don't just let your dollars sit there in your bank account because that's where the damage will be done. Every other asset will go up, some much greater than others. The stock market has turned into a high-interest savings account; you hold it in there and convert when dollars are needed. Stocks will not keep up with inflation, but its better than dollars in a bank account. Commodities will outperform stocks, but it's useless trying to hold physical bushels, bales, or drums. That's why gold is the easiest commodity to deal with; $500,000 in gold can fit in a sock drawer. The dollar has failed twice before in our nation's history. Once after the revolution and again after the civil war. It's about to fail again. Expect your wheelbarrow that's hauling around all of your dollars will be worth far more than the dollars themselves. Expect a 15:1 reverse split on the dollar with a return to the gold standard. The last time our dollar was worth 100 cents was back in 1933. If you peg the purchasing power of the 2020 dollar to the 1933 dollar, the 2020 dollar's purchasing power will look like this .001. We are $26 trillion in National debt alone. States are in debt. State pensions are grossly underfunded by $1 Trillion. Personal debt is skyrocketing. The groundwork was laid at least since 08 when the last crash happened. China and Russia made agreements with hundreds of countries and not just insignificant ones, like England and Australia, to trade with their own currencies and bypass using the dollar. OPEC countries have been doing the same thing. Eventually, the dollar will fail. It’s inevitable. All fiat currencies fail. What’s next? Who knows? It could be a basket of currencies using special drawing rights from the IMF. More than likely, it will be digital, no more paper money. If ANY country on earth decides to just print dollars, FLOOD the world with paper money, then why work or waste time producing goods. There is a reason why China, Russia, Europe, BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are all deciding to use different currencies besides the US dollars. The US is dead broke and held up by countries that lend it money by buying US treasury bonds and bills, and at the same time, the dollar grows in strength, indicating a strong US economy. This is further evidence of a broke system. There will be an intervention, and then the dollar will eventually fall to an appropriate level, approaching zero. Then the dung will really hit the fan. Our monetary system is based on inflation. The greater shame is very few of us realize that we also are taxed on that inflation. Think capital gains. What a scam. "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Henry Ford. I'm afraid 95% of Americans are too dumb to get it. Slave away at the 8-5 their entire lives for peanuts and get taxed at 50% while the FED "creates" trillions from nothing. No work or productivity, just money for nothing. The biggest scam of the last century, and still going strong today. Of course, for most in the USA, ignorance is bliss. Endlessly printing a currency may solve things in the short term, but long term, it causes serious damage to the value of that currency. This has been proven countless times in history. Now, do I think that the US Dollar is going to suddenly crash in value overnight, leaving us all in some doomsday financial apocalypse? Of course not. It is still a (generally) strong currency and the world reserve currency. Despite that, no fiat currency is invincible to endless printing. Eventually, the value WILL come down relative to other currencies, and things WILL shift...over time. How long that takes is anyone's guess. Hedge your bets. You'd be smart to keep at least some money in harder assets with limited supply. The good news a crash in the dollar will make America manufacturing and good, more attractive. If the dollar crashes, then all incentive to import stuff that was cheap will be gone. And stuff made in the USA will look inexpensive to the rest of the world. And the cycle continues. The dollar is being squeezed right now because of the sheer amount of dollar-denominated debt in the world (which tends to happen when you are the reserve currency of the world in such a globalized economy in the age of the internet). The danger to the dollar is that there isn't enough of them, of which everyone defaults, and something replaces it. I expect something similar to Bretton Woods to happen again, be the dollar pinned to Gold or Bitcoin or something. The deficits and money printing isn't serving the American people. It's serving the dollar backstop of the global economy. Global elites are getting ready and using the virus as an excuse to introduce a new reserve currency based on a basket of currencies and hopefully some gold too. "What currency would you buy and hold for the next 50 years?" Absolutely none. At 2% yearly inflation, your holding would be worth 63% less after 50 years. The US Dollar is programmed to devalue at 2% a year. In fact, the economy could not survive without that induced devaluation. One hundred ten years of data from Macrotrends indicates silver appreciates at 4.3% per annum with the volatility that creates income opportunities for selling covered calls. Using an ETF like SLV, the metal indeed becomes a virtual currency, liquid enough to use. The reason silver certificates were pulled in 1963 was that the commodity value in a silver dollar for the first time rose above $1. It surpassed $1.33/oz in that year ( a silver dollar is 75% silver). It's now $17/oz. That should be all you need to know about how our monetary system works. Buy gold and end the FED, the dollar is being turned into toilet paper! Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Consumer spending makes up 70% of the USA economy. Most of that spending is on goods we import, which means other people work to make them, some of it is good, but we don't invent and build anything to put our people to work. With COVID 19 mishandling, the spending is quite down to food mostly. The stock market paper gains are included in the economy, but most stay in the hands of very few people. It was decided back in 2008 that money has no actual value, so any saving not in the stock market produces ZERO income for their owners. Our governments have been lowering taxes for the rich while neglecting to improve the infrastructure, health/safety, education, and job training in a changing world economy, stuff that would benefit the American people. Politics has been about so-called social issues that make no difference in people's lives, all about ABORTION, GUNS, RELIGION, AND HATRED FOR IMMIGRANTS. NOW the chickens have come to roost. The U. S. can only make a new currency by default. Its bonds would become as poisonous as those of Argentina. Interest rates would soar. As America funds itself by borrowing money, social programs and public services would collapse, and the military would dwindle away. It would go into immense poverty, because it is a nation of consumers, and has little real wealth. Manufacturing has all gone abroad. America lives by devouring the world's goods in exchange for worthless paper dollars, which were forced upon humanity by brutality and fraud. Once the dollar goes to zero, America is nothing. What is worse, its destruction will be blamed on capitalism rather than socialism, so that all efforts to rebuild will be futile. The dollar being the world's reserve currency, allows the USA to run trillion-dollar deficits because it exports its inflation to the world, and the world absorbs it as the increasing population needs more reserve currency to conduct its business every year. That pretty well eats up the extra dollars the Feds keep printing each year to finance our federal deficits. If we were say Greece, the currency and country would have imploded decades ago, just like Greece did when it tried to run continuous deficits. The problem is our presidents, including Trump, are trying to use the dollar as a political weapon on countries like Iran, which will give countries a reason to use another currency to settle debts. China, Russia, and India are working on such a currency, When an alternative is available, the US dollar will implode, and the USA will be in a recession worse than 1929. Of course, it will fall because what goes up must come down eventually.No kidding! The Fed keeps adding zeroes to bank screens and buying stocks and bonds while propping up hedge funds. It is called the REPO market. In case of a default, The stock market and housing bubbles would deflate, causing losses of up to 90%. Pensions would be wiped out. All social programs would be cut. The price of goods and services would soar because there would no longer be a strong dollar to buy them with. The dollar would plummet in value. Unemployment would be lasting and horrific. And capitalism, instead of socialist central banking, would take the blame for it all, leading, possibly, to decades of misery under socialism. This is America's fate if it defaults. If it doesn't default, it has, at best, a few years longer before hyperinflation takes hold, and has to default anyway. Because, by this point, only tens of trillions per annum can keep yields sufficiently down for the system to function. They have tapered liquidity to $1.5 trillion per annum, and stocks are already slipping into a crash. It isn't enough. Food prices are rising because rather than the last 39 years of the Fed, creating credit and handing it to hedge fund managers and congress. Creating asset price inflation and runaway growth in medical spending and what amounts to welfare, corporate, and otherwise, new credit-money was handed to Joe Sixpack. You can't violate Say's Law with impunity. Creating purchasing power by any means OTHER than production simply increases the amount of money chasing whatever is in the marketplace. It doesn't add to what is available for purchase. Taken to the extreme, you have the situation in the USSR where people had rubles, but the shelves were bare. This is what flooding a nation with credit-created-from-nowhere produces. Under FIAT money, money was debt, so debt was wealth. People forgot that an IOU is nothing until it's paid-back. We now have a world drowning in "wealth" that is nothing but IOU's that depends on all other IOU's performing, when mathematically we long ago passed the point where this was true. All that "wealth" is an illusion. So is training people to forget that it's not about money-in-hand, it's about the product available for purchase. Goods availability is likely to crater in the next couple years, and if politicians attempt to make people whole by creating trillions in credit, all it will do is crush the average man's standard of living even more. Did the Trump administration open Pandora's Box by seizing the Fed's credit creation system? Only time will tell. For nearly 40 years, we witnessed credit-inflation on an unprecedented scale, but because it flowed into asset markets (including the value of debt itself), no one cared. We all seemed to get rich. Now, much of that wealth (in the form of debt, and in asset prices rationalized by its wealth-effect existence) is likely to disappear (mostly chaotically), but goods availability may plummet as well, meaning that prices could rise or fall, but affordability will plunge for many things. Oh, how the sky darkens with chickens coming home to roost. On second thought, that must be locusts. Currency collapses are usually followed by war. In the case of a collapse of a major global currency, that would mean global war. China / India may be the flashpoint. India, with the support of the US. China, with the support of Russia. The current system is being run to the ground by design, so the Fed can issue in a NEW system- henceforth why the Fed is "burning up dollars" to buy it all. We have been stolen into darkness by the evil greed of people for whom we voted. May I suggest Water, Food, Lead, Silver, and Gold in this order. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share.

The Coming Pension Crisis will make the Pandemic look like a Party !!

The Coming Pension Crisis will make the Pandemic look like a Party !!






The US pension plans warned they would run out of money by 2028. At the moment, a number of US public pension plans have barely recovered - if at all from the 2008 financial crisis - now to be hit with the continuing economic fallout from the corona-crisis and domino effect of historic unemployment. An alarming report in the Financial Times warns that seven major public pension plans are due to depleting their assets by 2028. The retirement crisis will make the pandemic look like a party. So many, for whatever reason, have no savings at all. They will vote to be helped. The Medicare trust fund will run dry as early as 2023. Payroll taxes and premiums will go up, while benefits will go down, or some combination of that. Social Security will use up the trust fund by 2034. The national debt is projected to be 50 trillion by 2030. We'll have to print more money, meaning inflation. No politician has even pretended to address these hot potatoes. I'm not saying it will all play out this way, but it is undeniable we will have many, many, many millions of seniors that will not be able to provide for themselves. Almost a third of Americans say they may never retire because of coronavirus hardships. This country is in for a bigger crisis, with so many Americans having zero savings and getting older. The Social Security issue MUST be dealt with NOW too. It's due to run dry soon. The Covid-19 pandemic has crippled economies all around the world. From healthcare disasters to black swan financial events, it has been quite some time since the future has seemed so bleak. The politicization of the virus is the problem. And all meant to destroy the economy. According to a story originally published by CNBC, this widespread financial strife has caused more than one in four Americans to raid their retirement savings. "40% of Americans Have Less than $1k" and "75% of Boomers Have Less than $10K for Retirement" and "Boomers STILL Carry More Debt than Investment and Savings. Only about 10% of the working population has ANY savings to speak of. This is the only generation less prepared for retirement than they were even two years ago. A 2018 study by Northwestern Mutual reported about 1/3 of people nearing retirement had less than $5,000 saved for retirement. As a society, we are not generally well prepared for old age or retirement. Yes, some people grew up with smart money parents, others did not, so we had to learn on our own. Teaching money management and financial investing, a good budget, etc. is absolutely necessary. These are survival skills that an educated society should provide their citizens....don't leave it up to chance or we will pay the consequence. ALL Americans will retire. It just depends if it fits on your terms or not. At a certain point, after being let go and unable to find another job, you are retired. If you're self-employed, you can work as you want. Some folks go till they drop. If the pandemic accelerates, "retirement " will come with an oblong box or cremation. You may plan to never retire, but believe me, you will for one reason or another. Start saving money, cut the cable bill, the telephone bill, the vacations. Don't buy an expensive car. Believe me, you will retire someday due to health issues or just because your employer wants a worker who is younger, healthier, and will accept less money than you. A lot of people will likely be forced to retire. A lot of jobs will not come back, and when they do, you can bet older workers will be the last hired. Corporate America has no need for you past age 60. Many of the 55 - 60 years old are being forced into retirement early because of the virus. They have been laid off with no chance of being rehired. They don't show up on the unemployment numbers, but they are here. The unemployment figures are false and much worse than indicated. By 50 years old, you should be prepared for retirement. I can't believe how many people think they can start saving for retirement "later." "Later" is promised to no one, stupid not to start immediately. Besides, wealth is a function of time and money, more time, less money, less time, much more money (contributions). Time marches relentlessly on, it can either be your friend or your worst enemy. I know many folks 50 and up that were laid off during the great recession, never to have found a decent paying job again, and the same is going to happen again now. Then you've got a significant chance of becoming disabled due to illness or injury. Maybe your body just gives out you can no longer do your physical job any longer. If you've waited, it's too late now. If you want to talk presumptuous, it's assuming you can save "later." THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE VIRUS BUT MONEY MANAGEMENT. IF ONE IS NOT TAUGHT AS A CHILD TO RESPECT MONEY, THEY WILL BE AND STAY POOR. If one event can ruin your retirement, then you didn't plan very well to begin with. The simple truth is 45 years is either a lot of years of good decision making or a lot of years of poor decision making. There's going to be a huge spread between the 65+ haves and have nots. It seems each new generation becomes lazier than the previous one. They want more entitlements, but they're less productive. The newest working people, those just graduating from college, got a good lesson of what living paycheck-to-paycheck will do. Hopefully, they will understand not having a subscription or two, having the newest smartphone to order your coffee and leasing the BMW isn't so important if you have zero savings of some kind. If you are working and unable to save at the very least 10% of your pay, then you are spending too much. Or you're not making enough. Saving is not a hard concept. Savings takes self-discipline. The key was (still is) don't spend a lot of money on depreciating assets like cars and clothes. You gotta live within your means and save for the rough times. People were crying the second week out of work with no paycheck. These people are obviously doing something wrong! If 2-3 months laid off, and possibly making more in unemployment/stimulus money has ruined your retirement, you were already a financial wreck before coronavirus. Simple rules: 1) Live below your means - not just within your means. 2) Purchase items used if possible, such as a car. I only purchase used cars and keep them for 5-7 years. I do purchase new cell phones, but I keep those around three years on average. 3) Have at least three months of emergency funds. More is better, but three should be the minimum. 4) Invest early and often. 5) As you get older - and closer to retirement - slowly switch a percentage (40-60% depending upon your specific circumstances) to more secure investments. 6) Take on as little debt as possible. I do not know what my credit card rates are as I always treat them like cash and pay them in full each month. I only take on debt if it makes sense financially. Regardless of your income, it is possible to prepare for emergencies and invest in retirement. It simply requires discipline to do so. Should have had some emergency savings in place to sustain you for a few months WHEN the economy goes south. If you're holding a nice smartphone, drive a nice car, and live in a house you couldn't afford, then you only have yourself to blame for having to work until you drop dead. Live within your means, plan for the future, and don't count on somebody else to come along and support you, because they (probably) won't. If you are having trouble making ends meet, here are a few tips. -Cancel unnecessary subscriptions, cable TV, Netflix, prime, etc... -Shop around to save on monthly services like insurance, phone, internet, etc... -Buy second-hand items whenever possible: cars, furniture, clothing, cell phones, etc... -Buy the lowest-cost, smallest house that meets your needs (not your wants). -Cut out unnecessary spending on restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Make your own meals, do the brown-bag lunch thing -Don't spend a lot on gifts. Make your gifts. It's lower-cost and more meaningful. -Don't do stupid stuff. -Shop around for a better paying job. Compare total compensation, including wage/salary, 401k contribution, HSA, health insurance. don't include BS benefits like pet insurance, free massages, or other things you don't need. -Don't buy pet insurance or spend a lot at the vet. What this virus has exposed is the lack of an emergency savings account and basic financial planning. And stagnant wage growth for the last decade has not played a role! When a person has no cushion, Covid-19 doesn't make much of a difference. Boomers do have one advantage, though. Our parents grew up during the Great Depression, so the idea of savings was drummed into us during our childhood. It doesn't mean every boomer learned, but many did. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The pandemic did not create the "retirement crisis," it has been there all along. And the Federal Reserve Bank is not helping millions of retirees being made complete fools of with money in banks and credit unions at around .01 percent interest. They are being robbed by the Fed to pump up Wall Street speculation into the latest balloon. This is not going to end well. If the "Fed" stumbles and falls, which I think that it will, the wealthy will just run away from the Hindenburg Finance Disaster and just create another scheme, probably "digital" this time. Hardly anyone "saves" what the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank can just create more on in minutes on computers or taking a while longer, printing up debt "notes." Most of us, myself included, will get badly hurt if this grand scheme of paper and computer digits crashes someday. The money given away by the government this year will reduce the value of your retirement savings by 20%; REAL inflation is that huge. The weak financial condition of seven US public pension plans threatens to deplete their assets by 2028, leading to severe risks for the living standards of thousands of American employees and retired workers. Many US public pension plans had not fully recovered from the 2007/08 financial crisis. As many companies work to regain their financial footing in the midst of continuing economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, a retiring worker’s decision to take either a lump sum or lifetime payments from their pension could boil down to one factor. Whether they think the employer will be able to meet its long-term commitments. There are over 5 trillion dollars in 401k's, and you can bet the government is absolutely salivating over the possibility of taxing it or even confiscating it "for the greater good. Using 401k law to fund retirement has always been perilous. While the current stock market drop is understandable, many market swings seem baseless, and the result of both can and do ruin retirement plans with no fault of the retiree. There should be a law that companies must contribute to a funded retirement plan run by the Federal Government. In most developed countries, something along this line is done, and since all those countries and companies within those countries figure out a way to be competitive, we should be able to figure it out also. Last, the law must include a provision that the Government cannot use the funds for any reason other than to disperse retirement money. People have spent 40-50 years applying themselves. At what point do they deserve to start living? They gave their best years to this country, and in return, it spat in their lap. The elderly should be taken better care of in this country. They spent their entire lives working for corporate America. It's time for Corporate America to pay them the thanks that they deserved. That pitiful living wage during their best years is not enough. A lot of working people don't realize how much of a burden debt is as it's become a way of life. Maybe this pandemic will make us realize that just because we want something, it doesn't mean we have to get it. Freedom from financial stress is what we should aim for. Let's be clear. Not only were Americans not financially prepared for a pandemic, but Corporate America wasn't either. How many businesses, both big and small, are shuttering their doors. Businesses couldn't afford to keep paying employees, rents, etc. any more than the average American could keep paying for their basic expenses either. I hope the finger-pointing and BAD CREDIT judgments get reined in. Being a consumer-oriented society, we have been pushed to the limits to spend. A capitalist nation depends on the consumer to spend and spend more. However, recently, due to the ongoing lack of confidence in our economy, many people have turned to save instead of buying for buying's sake. This has sounded alarms in corporate boardrooms. Their goal is to get spending back on track. Larry Kudlow mentioned that the retail sales numbers would be great for May. But, he failed to include that much of that spending was done with stimulus checks. He also didn't state that credit card spending was also up. People are resorting to Credit Cards instead of cash savings. What happened when the stimulus ends and credit cards get maxed out? The pandemic brought an important lesson home to everyone. It has taught us that anything can and will happen and not always good. You plan a budget, then try to stick to it, set aside some money for emergencies, and prepare for the future. Generation X's have a long time to retirement, so they have time to recover from the downturn in the employment market. It will be slow at first. I think we'll be told one day to thank God our president is saving the economy by issuing new, strong money. We'll be told our non-patriotic old money will not be good after a certain date or after a bank holiday. At that point, if it happens, spend ALL your old money on food. After that, I can't tell you. Good luck! Save money. Money talks during a disaster, including finances. Most people put way too much faith in the stock market. Quick gains also open you to quick losses. Buy gold, Silver. Stay away from this market for now. Just wait for the burning smell of speculators to get a sniff of what is heading our way. Markets are way overvalued and will see a massive fall. There is no justification for stock prices when the entire nation is still suffering from this Virus. It is not going away because Trump says so. We haven't seen anything yet until the fall, which is only 16 weeks away. This virus will haunt us again worse in the fall. The FED response has been almost criminal yet continues to persist. I think we may finally be at the breaking point of this fiscal policy since too many people are using it to speculate on values going up no matter what based on FED support, which has created an enormous bubble that can only be addressed by either reducing support, or a massive collapse. A 2nd wave is guaranteed here in the states. The second wave of virus + Riots = stock market's doom. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe. Leave me a comment.

👉Bankrupt Hertz Stocks up 50% -- Day Trading Madness !!




Hertz stock went up over 50% after the company announced on Thursday its plans to sell up To $1 Billion In new bankrupt stock. After announcing the opportunistic sale of newly bankrupt shares, "investors" are bidding the rental car company's stock up 50% this morning and back above its pre-bankruptcy levels. You CANNOT make this stuff up. Beyond corrupt and out of the box insanity. Peak Stupidity and Insanity. Hertz up 25%+ next week, bet on it. Robinhood Autists will buy it with both fists. This is a bet that stupidity exceeds infinity, and one guaranteed to pay. This will be epic. They will clean out the stockholders, dump 80% of the cars, all the insiders will pay themselves handsomely, then the debt will get a restructure, and fresh stock will be issued again at $20 / share IPO (of course after the insiders give themselves a large chunk of that fresh stock block). And the public will buy it with both fists. If a consumer ran up a debt on a credit card knowing they're about to claim bankruptcy, that's fraud and can be prosecutable. But Corporate Welfare Socialists get away with whatever they want with Wall Street and the Banks. Every big corporation is now literally "Too Big To Fail" and "essential." Total Corptocracy is what the USA has devolved into. Absolutely no moral hazard or accountability for anyone but the sheep. Nothing changes until the guillotines roll. We are in a bubble right now; the only thing that looks good is the stock market. But if you raise interest rates even a little bit, that's going to come crashing down. We are in a big fat ugly bubble. And we better be awfully careful. We have a Fed that's doing political things by keeping the interest rates at this level. The Fed is not doing their job; the Fed is being more political than Secretary Clinton. By the way, those were the words of candidate Trump in 2016, not of today. Stocks are up because our counterfeiting Federal Reserve keeps digitizing dollars and that trillions of newly "coined" currency have to go somewhere. Well, it goes into the stock market - pure and simple. What a grand scheme. Seriously, has no one noticed that Trillions were just stolen from citizens and handed to the bankers? The Fed knows we are screwed. So blow bigger bubbles to try and make this mess go away. Why the hell do you think it's going up?. The FED robs from the poor to give to the rich. They gave the common man $1200 to look the other way. This market such a joke. So many of us have our retirement funds and 401k's invested in this joke of a market. The stock market is no longer about anything. Hertz files bankruptcy, and people are still trading their stock. It was up 888% in 3 days, then down 60% in a day or two, and now it's up to 50+% today. The robin hoods are buying Hertz, hand over fist. I think that they think that Chapter 11 is the one after Chapter 10. The same thing with Chesapeake energy. Another bankrupt company that saw its stock jump from $17 per share to $72 per share in a matter of a few hours only to drop right back down to $17 in a day. With days like yesterday, a week's worth of gains is wiped out in a day. I just don't see how equity buyers see any value with the debt so high. The bondholders are going to take a haircut too. Until the Robinhooders are gobsmacked by reality, this lunacy will continue. What if the FED is doing this with its own Robinhood account? Anything is possible in this crazy world now. I see the fraud is widely prevalent in the system. There were 100s of bankrupt companies kept trading after filing BK11, and eventually, it became 0. There are many companies insiders manipulating stock prices ( maybe shorting their own stock through 3rd party, spread the bankruptcy rumors, cover it at the bottom for pennies) In many cases, there retailers trying to fight out this nonsense ( without any oversight in this wild west ) to pull their tail out of huge losses somehow. Hence they buy up stock to cause the shorties to cover at higher prices. There are literally 100s of companies stock manipulated like this in the past while SEC is sleeping at wheel or watching. Come on now. What fun is left in the world if you can't pretend to be a bigshot day trader investing in bankrupt companies that are issuing stock! Truly the world has gone crazy. The greatest economy in the world, 100% backed by retail bagholders and funny-money wizards. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This market is not normal. DJI went up 4000 points in a month. That's a lot of profit to take off the table. After yesterday, people are going to take profits on any bounces. Markets are still overpriced. The old pump and dump surely to happen. The rich got all their losses back and knew when to pull the plug. Super fishy market going on. There was no stopping this market a few days ago. A classic market manipulation, how do you think they're stealing your meager capital. The America I knew, has rather changed. Now it seems that the horn of plenty is only open those who own stocks. I once remember the horn of plenty was open to hard-working Americans, who held down jobs for decades. Issuing endless debt, taxing capital, and consuming it, and printing “wealth” out of thin air definitely works. Definitely, it does not matter what they do - because the real economy is not recovering. And they can't continue to print money at this rate without making the dollar worthless. You cannot use sand as a currency when you live on the beach!! The Fed is, was, and will continue to prop up markets. Right now, you've got day traders pumping things up due to low volume, and you've got qualified investors cashing in to close out positions and banking profits. The large scale investors have far more money and shares invested, so the stock drops much faster when the big boys start cashing in. Can the Fed really fight this massive exodus from equities and keep it propped up artificially? Everything is possible, even the impossible. Bankruptcies are the new growth industry, so why not take advantage. This market is not for those who believe in fundamentals. The economy NO longer matters ... NOR does the real economy ... NOR sky-high unemployment. All that matters is that wall street reelects trump. He is "The CHOSEN ONE." You can fool some of the people some of the time, and that's enough to make a decent living. Ever since the Dow was DOWn around 18k, the FED PRINTING PRESS has been in OVERDRIVE. Awarding stock market gains to the wealthy by way of taxpayer debt. Anyone surprised?? How long can this game go on? Stocks should keep moving higher unless the fed's printing press breaks down. It’s all about Program Trading. The stock market is not the leading indicator of the economy anymore (that's now an old economic theory). It has been taken over by the algorithm-driven program trading (Math/AI models), controlled by 20-30 major financial services companies (hedge fund, brokerage, private equity, etc.). These models decide the daily swings of the market. When the models are in tandem, the market generally stays up all day long (as was the case today); when they conflict, some wild swings come into play. Obviously, the central news and events are heavily weighted in those models. Of course, while the other professional day traders play along with the trend, they hardly influence the direction of the market anymore, contrary to the conventional wisdom or belief. There are people who buy just to be buying. No fundamentals left, just roll the dice. That what I see people doing. The market has been overvalued since 2015. I think if people ever start looking at the company's data and start following the market fundamentals and taking a realistic look at the economy, the market will fall over the summer. Never in history has stock prices been this disconnected from the value of the underlying companies. At some point, the reality is going to set in -- and it isn't going to be pretty. Gotta be crazy to put money into the market right now with the first little blip of a second wave of coronavirus cases right around the corner. All physical Retailers and theme parks and restaurants and hotels and airlines and cruise lines and theaters and sports are all toast. Most small businesses that require people are toast. The market price is in the ionosphere, and most companies, 90% or more, will see revenues and earnings decline for many years. Its just reality, and there are few places to hide now. There is not one good reason to buy stocks or bonds. The pace of unemployment historically high, FED and Government debt at all-time highs, household debt at all-time highs, FED forced to bail out banks (again) with unprecedented QE and Repo Loans, civil unrest in the country with protesting, looting, rioting, and killing, after limping through the weakest recovery and expansion in history. The U.S. economy is sinking deeper into the abyss. This is what the FED has created. Donald Trump has not drained the swamp. He has made it deeper. What the Fed has not mentioned is the precarious position banks are in right now. Bankruptcies are coming, and some big banks are going to lose their shirts. Remember Lehman Brothers? Get ready for round 2. I am looking at a run on most of the US banks, especially if this COVID-19 increases starting this summer & Fathers Day & huge riots in the large cities. Already took out everything from the safety deposit box - not covered anyway by FDIC. With the Money Market Reform Act, you won't even be able to withdraw what little money you may have left in your bank, savings, or retirement accounts. It is not a matter of if it is when is the only question. The titanic is getting set the music is playing, but we are hitting a solvency iceberg. Debt unwinding is coming. The America, as we knew it, no longer exists. Get right and sit tight; the worst is yet to come. This is worst than in 2008. We have many more unemployed. Car loans, mortgages credit card debt are all going to be in trouble. That means banks and car dealers and so on and so on. I see a recession for 2 to three years. The market can never survive normality again - it will just be FRAUD until there is NO market! Fraudulent, open blatant corruption, and shameless cheating. The stock manipulators do what they know how to do. They add nothing to the wealth of our nation. Crazy speculation works until it doesn't. Calls Puts Naked shorts are a life of their own. The curtain has been pulled down on the Wizzard in the emerald city. The economy is gutted. We are on the verge of war with China. Our cities are being torn apart. And nothing will stop this meteoric stock market rise until November 3rd, 2020. Then comes the trump dynasty. It kind of am reminds of the Romanoff's, and we all know how that ended. The whole stock market is complete utter trash fabricated to benefit only the wealthy and screw the poor. They get the laser speed trading while poor puny bastards are using 4G internet trying to catch up like Robinhood. Front run every trade! A few cents times, billions of trades per day adds up! Computer programs run the markets. Not you. All they care about are making money and making money. You are who they make money from. They're not going to let you go anywhere. The Markets have morphed into video games. This is a nothing market. The only way to win is not to play. Only a moron would play this casino. If we went back to the gold standard, we wouldn't be trying to spend all our time speculating. We would be inventing stuff. Our economy became financialized by fiat - imagine all the Wall Street jobs that would go if we returned to the gold standard. Robinhood won't order fill unless you are a cent above ask and a cent below bid. Better yet, they then sold their order flow to HFT players, lock their players into dark pools, and then block withdraws. Oh, did I forget their clients are not even buying real stock. Their just buying a digit inside Robinhoods computer. Their trades don't even go out to any exchanges. Oh, this one even funnier they just shut down selling while the market routs and their indexes are like 2% off the real market. The rest of the brokers are probably blue with envy that their frauds are modest in comparison. That's the power of free. Save your commission. Oh, just in case you want to make it even better, you can invest in a company that's bankrupt, like Hertz. What a deal! This is how the scam works. YOU buy say one share of a company - $1300, which is fine. But the order never gets to an exchange, and you never owned the stock. As the price climbs on the aggregate across 1000's of share buyers, millions of dollars flow into Robinhood. Then they simply watch the futures and shut down while the market corrects. Because nobody can sell while the price falls. Robinhood keeps the arbitrage spread of the price fall. That's why they'll always shut off while the price falls. Once the price falls significantly, the trading is reopened, and the client is now staring at their losses. So they sell. Robinhood credits them the difference (loss). Plus, they also squeeze the client a penny spread above ask and below bid, which is more % in their pocket. Aggregated over the 10's of millions of traders, they are making 100's of millions off this. Oh, if that's not insulting enough, the HFT's see your order flow and their algos squeeze a penny here and there out of the whole thing. Surely the SEC will get after them for their accidentally on purpose shutdowns? Just kidding. The fine is never as high as the money they make off the crime. Isn’t that what they say on Wall Street? I have never witnessed such blatant corruption in my life. What a disgraceful situation these bankers have created. Buy land, silver, or gold. I am trying to get out. Stocks are not worth at all. You can lose all of your money, definitely not investment. It is worse than gambling since it is all digital; the Mafia sees your hand and steals your money. Gun and ammunition stocks.

👉Monetary Reset & Economic Collapse worse than The Great Depression

👉Monetary Reset & Economic Collapse worse than The Great Depression







As America continues to implode from within, The era of the dollar’s exorbitant privilege as the world’s primary reserve currency is coming to an end. The U.S. living standards are about to be squeezed as never before. We import everything, and the only things we export are wars, mortgage-backed securities, And The US Dollar. Our nation's wealth is being drained drop by drop because our government continues to mount record deficits. The security of our country depends on the fiscal integrity of our government, and we're throwing it away. The Contraction of GDP is currently, WORSE than that of the Great Depression, which then stood at 33 %. TODAY, contraction of GDP stands at 50 %. We can safely conclude that we have entered into the GREATEST Depression, EVER! Our national debt is going to eventually catch up with us, and it will be painful for all, and this has been a long time coming. Just how much money do you think The Fed can print without other countries balking at buying our over-inflated notes! The world is also tired of the US threatening to ruin their economy by the Dollar if they don't tow the US line. Gold-backed currencies, decentralized cryptocurrencies and trading commodity for commodity is the way around that. Settlement in the US Dollar has dropped in recent years when it hits fifty percent. Its days as the world's trading currency are over. The Federal Reserve Note is a Debt-based Pyramid Scheme. Other nations no longer purchase our bonds (debt). The record of History proves that paper currencies always hit their intrinsic value of ZERO! We are well on our way. The weaponization of the dollar and the US banking system by Trump is why the dollar is weakening. Add to that the fed printing trillions and the government borrowing trillions to prop up the markets. Factor in also, record and historical debt loads. The Fed and the Fed system of banks are now the major and almost sole purchaser of US bonds. The US financial system is taking money out of its left pocket to put it in its right pocket. Are you expecting a "V" or a "W" recovery? Forget about it! It's going to be an "S" and no recovery for the Markets. Get out now - it's a sucker's market. All short term Fed-induced liquidity. Oil stocks will drop back to half of the previous lows. The Fed is pumping money into the stock market to make people think things are great. Wake up! It's all smoke and mirrors. The equity value of stocks is less than meaningless. 2008 should have taught EVERYONE that. Thanks to the financial propaganda-press, the divergent curves of the stock market and the REAL American economy have been studiously ignored by most - at their, and everyone else's, peril. We are in trouble as a nation. Congress has to stop spending us into deficit. This has been going on for almost 40 years, and the government borrowing escalated dangerously after the 2008 recession. Our whole monetary system is dishonest, as it is debt-based. Our debt is 25 TRILLION. There are 8 billion people in the world. That means every man, woman, and child on the planet would need to pay $3,000 in order to pay off America's debt. Think about that. It means we will never be able to dig ourselves out. The dollar is already devaluing. Have you not bought anything lately? Grocery prices are way more than they were. It is only the beginning, as the more the national debt increases, the less the dollar is worth. The so-called "dollar privilege" is largely responsible for the erosion of the middle class in the USA. It did wonders for the 1%, no so much for the 99%. The "Walmart effect." The average Joe standard of living has been stagnant for decades but not the top 1%. As a matter of fact, the top 1% incomes have gone 10000s % for decades. We've got to worry about the world not wanting the dollar anymore, which will mean hyperinflation like Venezuela. We can’t print endless money and not say hey, how about we start paying it back. We are right now 30 percent Stimulus in the GDP. Trumponomics needs to stop. Billionaires are burping with borrowed taxpayers' money. It’s time for hard love when it comes to budgeting. The collapse of our economy is inevitable. How can you live at home with borrowing more than you make? That’s the USA right now. Living on credit is never a good thing. When asked about the burgeoning federal deficit and national debt, Trump replied: “Not my problem!.” For far too long, the US has benefited from the unfair advantage of being the reserve currency of the world, printing dollars with impunity all at the expense of the rest of the world, which has granted such largesse for the sake of economic efficiency. The US leveraged its reserve currency status by demanding that oil can only be traded with the US Dollar hence the petro-dollar monopoly. This has not only allowed the US to spend five times more on its military than Europe and China combined but enabled it to meddle in other countries' affairs through invasion, toppling democratically elected governments, and bombing innocent civilians suspected of terrorism. The Trillions, being pumped into the economy by the Fed, are being subsidized by the rest of the world as their dollar reserves decrease in value due to flood of US Dollar entering the markets. At some point, this house of cards will come crashing down, and it will be caused by US greed and lack of fiscal discipline. The Fed’s decade-old grand experiment of creating trillions of dollars of debt used primarily to enrich the top 5% wage earners, wall st banks and insurance companies, and the well connected like warren buffet has finally reached the point where the end game is in sight which is a collapsing, crushing debt bomb. Now its taking hundreds of billions, even Trillions every day, to keep the bubble market inflated. The saddest part of this is the vast majority of politicians, and business leaders who should understand the implications of this shift and are in positions to address it are all worried about their next election or quarterly report. The dollar is declining now. That's why stock prices are up: when priced in dollars, stock prices have been declining as the dollar's value shrinks. Once the dollar is dethroned, there will be no world reserve currency. Each nation will have to back their own currency in Gold or direct trade commodities. A world reserve currency allows for abuse by the issuing nation. The USA was able to scam the world for 50 years, so its time to get back to real money and see the real price of things again. The selloff of the US dollar has already begun. Big changes are coming. It is going to be beautiful. All government-issued fiat has failed 100% in history. The US Dollar will be no different. Hedge the dollar and buy tangible assets YOU own, and have no debt tied to your name. Gold, Silver, land, bitcoin. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The Federal Reserve was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. It is a conglomeration of the Big Private Bankers. Those Banks run the currency show - control it all through the Fed then, to the Government! The biggest con job EVER in history! Despite these warnings, Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. A few years later, he wrote: “I am the most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” On June 4, 1963, JFK ordered the printing of Treasury dollar bills instead of Federal Reserve notes (Executive Order 11110). He also ordered that once these had been printed, the Federal Reserve notes would be withdrawn, and the Treasury bills put into circulation. A few months later (November 22, 1963), he was killed in broad daylight in front of the whole world. One week before Dallas, he made that famous speech where he talked about a highly secretive group of powerful people he was going to expose, and with the help of The American people, he intended to spoil their plans. The FIRST thing LBJ did when he took office was to abolish the Treasury Dollar printing operation. And all of this bearly reported at the time. BTW LBJ created and pushed through the Great Society welfare state, which is directly responsible for where we are today. And one of Johnson’s first acts as President was to repeal order 11110. Forty-four nations agreed in 1944 at Breton Woods to use the US dollar, backed by gold as the reserve currency for international trade. Created at the same time were the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank. In 1971, the issue of gold backing for the US dollar was so restrictive to the US government's money printing and deficit spending that US President Richard Nixon "temporarily" suspended the ability to convert the US dollar to gold. That "temporary" suspension has become a "permanent" suspension in practice. The record of history tells us that GOLD and silver have lasted the war. Nations, who left Gold out of their support for their dollar ALL their currencies, ultimately tanked. Greeks, Romans, Germany (Reich mark), Zimbabwe, etc. Currency collapsed. The U.S .will fare no differently. The Dollar died in 1971, decoupling from gold. As we’ve seen, it’s been reserve currency for almost 50 years. Bubbles can last a very long time. The US Dollar will massively spike as one last death cough before its death as the reserve currency. US Dollar decoupling from gold ensured its eventual death, but it was far from dead at that time. The reason why America has gotten so wealthy is because of the combination of the Dollar's status as a reserve currency and the ability for the US to print Dollars without devaluing it due to its status. We got rich off the backs of the countries that used it, but that will come to an end when it dies. When Nixon closed the gold window back, in August of 1971, the dollar has been manipulated and is losing its intrinsic value, as it slides to ZERO. The dollar, in comparison to Gold, is only worth 1.4% in its actual purchasing power. A penny (1 cent) back in 1906, bought you more than a dollar does today. Ever since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, inflation has been consistent. The US dollar is often referred to as the cleanest shirt in a batch of dirty laundry. What props the dollar up is world confidence that the US will pay back it's debts and not just the interest on those debts. With the ongoing US injection of trillions of US dollars into its financial system, thus impacting the world's financial systems, its only a matter of time before a new form of a reserve currency is brought into existence. That could be Special Drawing Rights through the IMF or even some form of blockchain cryptocurrency overseen by the IMF and agreed to by the majority of the world's countries, despite what would likely be a US objection. The US dollars loss of reserve currency status will happen; it's just a matter of when and under what "triggering" circumstance. This will lead to the inevitable collapse of the dollar!! A huge national debt always results in higher prices for everything. Neither party had any type of plan to pay down much less off the debt. History shows that governments have collapsed under the weight of runaway inflation. This is the situation Trump or his successor will inherit. We can't even afford another war to pull us out of this mess. Serious riots will make the current racial riots look like tea parties. People think the recent riots were bad. Wait till the government checks don't clear or they buy 50% of what they used to. The vast majority of US dollars are held by American Private Banks and the Federal Reserve. The Collapse of the dollar without any successful successor will equal a crisis that may be even greater of 1929...maybe even with one. That crisis is already in the works, and there is coming Hyper-inflation ultimately. Can't continue to just print dollars out of thin air with zero to back it. The existing inventory and underground reserves of Gold will be $100k or more an oz. in order to cover all the outstanding currency. Countries like China and India with huge stockpiles will ripe windfall benefits and become the world's richest economies, while the U.S. will suffer hyperinflation. The debt service that will be likely over 800 billion next year is money that is frankly pissed away, bringing no services to the American people for that EXTREMELY large sum of money. If the rest of the world sees us as a bad risk, the price we will pay will be catastrophic. Deficits do matter big time. Who will fund the saving deficit of a nation that has finally lost its exorbitant privilege?" The Fed will just print money to monetize the debt, right? Everyone in America now believes that the Fed will fix all problems by printing money. It has worked since 2008, so why not? Should foreigners no longer want to buy US Treasuries, interest rates would be driven up to entice them to fund our debts. But that will cause the economy to collapse. Lacking in domestic saving, and wanting to invest and grow, the U.S. has taken great advantage of the dollar’s role as the world’s primary reserve currency and drawn heavily on surplus savings from abroad to square the circle. If the return on investment for Treasury securities continues to be so pitiful that no one will buy them, the whole scheme comes tumbling down. The dollar has lost all credibility in the context of a reserve currency evidenced by a whole host of factors. Not the least being that the US tries to bully the rest of the world. The US is totally bankrupt, and the world knows it. Trump has abused it too much. The countries are feeling the angst of placing their confidence in the dollar. If the dollar is a so-called world currency, it has to be in the interest of the world. Lately, it seems that perspective has been lost and it has been weaponized to serve American foreign policy. The world does not need the dollar. Every country would love to get rid of the PetroDollar, which would, in itself, increase the value of their own currencies. What currency is going to fill the void? China has been working toward its yuan, replacing the dollar on the world stage. If the opportunity arises, they will pounce. The IMF already launched their replacement vehicle in July 2018, which aims at replacing the US dollar for those countries that want to do trade using a common currency other than the greenback. IMF's Distributed Ledger Technology has been in place for two years now. This replaces the US Dollar for trade between nations. It's already a done deal for the dollar as the reserve currency. China's BRICS Swift move to remove the petrodollar as the worlds' currency, their expanding economic growth vs. the U.S. dollar's GNP to debt ratio of 107% when over 77% signals fiat money collapse and their expanding global military presence threaten the 1% elite's world dominance (power and monetary control). The Dollar will eventually collapse. Don’t forget inflation, with trillions of dollars being injected into the economy and negative interest rates on the horizon, what does that mean for stashing cash or equities? A current American strategy in Foreign policy has been to threaten banks facilitating trade with countries like Iran and Venezuela. This has been noted by the rest of the world and alternatives to SWIFT, and the US Dollar are being implemented. The dramas with Libya, Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela relate to the sale of Oil for something other than the Petro-Dollar. The US Dollar is vulnerable to the development of replacement energy sources. The use of the Dollar as a geopolitical weapon has led to the situation where it is being replaced in trade deals. At some point, a lot of Dollar-denominated financial paper will end up back in the US prior to a reset. Current trends show that both China and Russia have been divesting US paper. The dollar has about three years of life left before there will be a fatal crash. The decline of the dollar’s purchasing power has a 95% correlation to the federal deficit, which is exponentially climbing. At the present time, the economy was stunned by the shutdown, but soon more dollars will be pursuing fewer goods and services. Inflation will begin to rise, and at some point, the global credit markets will collapse, at least with respect to the dollar. I don't know about you, but the price of some foods has already doubled. My guess is the Dollar has less than three years before it is replaced. It's called a currency reset, and we're having one in the next few years. This will finally solve our toilet paper shortage! Got gold, silver, cows, bullets, land—anything but fiat. There should be an international currency, hopefully partially backed by gold. This will prevent endless quantitative easing, and governments will no longer just be printing monopoly money without limits, which has resulted in ZERO and even NEGATIVE interest rates. Produced in FINITE quantities by the sweat of men, Gold and Silver stand as sentinels to protect the wealth of astute investors in times of currency mismanagement and debasement that is occurring today. Yet only about 1% of the population owns any (outside of jewelry) Ironically due to brainwashing by financial institutions (and those with a vested interest in keeping your wealth in the bubble stock, bond and real estate markets). Buy US Silver Eagles and Gold Eagles all you can, now that their prices are still very low (due to commercial bank shorting), and you will not regret it. Soon silver and gold prices will really explode as all of the paper money being generated looks for a safe undervalued place to invest in. Most won't listen to what I am saying, but you will remember I told you this, and it is backed by cold hard facts. “Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to…provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands.” – Theodore Roosevelt. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.

👉The Commercial Real Estate bubble is about to Burst !! Prepare !

👉The Commercial Real Estate bubble is about to Burst !! Prepare !



It has been a wild ride in the economy the past few months, The shutdowns and closures, The unprecedented high unemployment numbers, and now the protests and riots. The commercial real estate market has been clobbered in this crisis, as restaurants and stores virtually shut down entirely. Things are looking bleak for commercial real estate, which has been way overpriced for 20 years. Many commercial real estate investors are starting to feel the pain as the bubble is about to burst. And this is just the beginning. As this Depression deepens, this will have disastrous consequences for house prices. Everyone who owns a house will be affected! My concerns are : 1. The real estate Cycle is due. 2. 40 million unemployed and growing. 3. In 2019, over 90% of US GDP was from consumer retail spending. That ends. 4. 75 million Baby boomers retiring and downsizing. 5. Many small businesses are finished. 6. Markets fall, Real estate follows. 7. Millions of AirBNB’s are in default. 8. The US is officially bankrupt. 9. Loans are harder to get. 10. I believe that the war on cops is the undersold story of this cycle. If cops stand down (Ferguson Effect), many formerly (somewhat) livable areas in big cities will no longer be. I predict a mass exodus out of big cities to the south and the mountain west. 11. People are seeing the effect of working at home, as are businesses. Why pay for that expensive rent, when if need be they could conference with Zoom or whatever for meetings. 12. This is a nationwide bust. It is not just a typical FED bust out the operation. Then throw the COVID effect in there. The peeps, like working at home. And the poorly-run debt-laden corporations might just want to stop paying rent on office space. And this doesn't even count the paradigm shift in folks working from home or the "social distancing" that's going to take place in restaurants and other retailers, which my guess will keep happening five years out, maybe more—a bust-ola for the ages. 13. Commercial Real Estate has been in trouble since the dotcom bubble. Lending requirements made it easier for banks to hide losses because of lending requirements. I thought Commercial Real Estate would blow already in 2007-08, but they got backstopped by the fed, via bailing out all the federal secured lenders. You could shutter 50-60% of restaurants with retail, there still would be too much useless crap, and shitty Wantons to waste money on. 14. 40% of commercial real estate is excess at this point. It will ultimately be torn down or re-purposed, or sit idle for the next ten years or so while the real economy attempts to catch up to the bubble levels that just burst. Lease rates will adjust accordingly. Take appropriate action today. Re-evaluate six months from now. Don't catch the falling knife. Expect prices and lease rates to be on a downward trend for at least the next two years. 15. Malls have been paper shuffling sinking zombies since late 2007. It did not take much to capsize the ship. Pity the young will only know malls as a politician named homeless shelters and methadone clinics. Malls were like Facebook to kids until the smartphone. There is a problem with public spaces in America. They’ve gone downhill along with the class and manners of the public. The decline started with Jerry Springer and earned income credits. Places that only attract inner-city gangbangers, hillybilly trash, imported exotic freaks, and other assorted creeps, don't seem like the best place to be attempting to sell something. Malls, soon to be bought up for pennies and converted into Prisons - I mean Quarantine, er I mean Fusion centers. The shop of the future is going to be a warehouse with new robots in a low-cost area. In a low-cost state. The product is delivered. No more city shop front, mall shop to rent. Wealthy workers? Escaped the city and work from a cottage, village, town—fast networking. No hours lost to car driving, city transport. 16. This is depression, not a recession. Don’t let the manipulated markets and money printing fool you. Equity REITs own more than $2 trillion of physical real estate assets in the U.S., including more than 200,000 properties in all states. Most REITs got margin calls around the week of March 21, 2020. Most REITs are levered 7:1, or more. Banks seized the underlying mortgage bonds via margin calls hence materially reducing the tangible book value of the vast majority of REITs. Some REITs entered forbearance agreements. However, some couldn't and experienced serious capital destruction that is not coming back as a typical stock can. It's very sad to see. Because mostly seniors were persuaded to buy REITs to provide yield income, now they just got 50-80% of their principal stolen, and the price is not coming back unless the FED enforces some type of "refund rule," which is doubtful. Covid-19 pandemic has caused "massive" challenges in the commercial real estate market. The pandemic is reshaping the workplace, which is now more flexible and remote and that could have a lasting impact on the commercial real estate market, especially office space. Many employees are never going to go back to an office, Working from home permanently may be the best thing to come from this crisis. It lowers overhead from renting offices and frees up traffic on the freeways. Using online digital tools will become second nature. Most companies have realized that it's stupid to make white-collar workers, who don't directly manage labor, to sit in an office five days a week when they could come in once a week. Shared office space is where it is going to be at, and no more of this cube. Work from home is where it will be at so 50+% of office space will not be needed. Lots of people are delusional thinking that after the pandemic passes, it's back to business as usual. If your company can live with you permanently working from home, then they can just as well hire a much cheaper employee in another state or another country. When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter whether you work remotely from home in the same city or around the planet. And companies will do whatever it takes to remain profitable. Then comes the real offshore, hiring people in Asia to do all work. Commercial real estate owners are starting to sweat. Over leveraged REITs are going to be annihilated. Because they were leveraged to increase returns with very little cash on hand, but when the market went south. Let the bankruptcy festival begin! They are going to get annihilated. These are really times to reinvent everything. Turn commercial real estate into residential and lower rent in the city, so middle-income people can move there without having to have ten roommates. The problem its like dominos.If some companies move remotely. The rest pretty much have to in order to stay competitive. By the way, there is no real culture in big cities. Why would you rent a studio in Manhatten when you can get a house in the surrounding areas? When people move, so will culture. People create cultures, not cities. I don’t think people are going to want to come back to office life in the city after they’ve had a taste of the freedom and flexibility of working from home or even just being in a less developed area. This will lead to increased profits for companies! The trend will be better remote and online digital collaboration tools. Physical commercial real estate will have to find other uses and change audiences in large. I hope we start to see more people working from home on a permanent basis. It's better for the traffic to keep gas prices and auto insurances low, just to name a few. For the health of the planet and people’s mental health, people should work from home. Commercial real estate is going to go bust. We are in an obscene bubble. Markets near back to where it was before the pandemic, is all based on hope. Much physical retail won't survive, layoffs trickling up to the white-collar, and just wait until the stimulus money ends. The reality is office demand is half what it was 20 years ago because of technology, retail was already suffering because everybody is shopping on Amazon. The cost of Industrial real estate construction has doubled in the past ten years, supposedly due to steel costs so that a plain steel industrial building now costs $80 per square feet before land. Because of poor tax policy that does not depreciate buildings fast enough, many plants operate in obsolete buildings. Recreational properties are also being screwed, mainly due to taxation by revenue starved localities. It’s about the economic mathematical facts! Everyone is a dispensable peasant earning flat humiliating wages. The real estate commercial sector is obscenely an extortionist entity. They are egregiously exaggeratedly overpriced. When has the landlord ever given a credit break? Never hope they go broke! Vacancy is now prevalent in all major cities and suburbs. Just look at all the Manhattan empty, vacant buildings. Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The impact of store closings all across America will be huge and will take a huge toll on communities. Much of this is linked to small businesses having its clock cleaned when forced to shut down because of Covid-19. However, a lot is related to paying higher wages, compiling with new government regulations, online shopping, and being forced to compete with big businesses backed by cheap Wall Street money. Retail and hospitality are the big areas where a lot of investors will see a lot of pain. This has severely impacted commercial real estate, with significant numbers of properties that have been closed. Plenty of businesses have been forced to close their doors due to the current climate conditions, and many won't be able to open up their establishments once this over. The thing is, many of these companies were already on the edge prior to this situation, and this just put them over the edge. Commercial Real Estate delinquencies are already surging. There was a huge jump in the delinquency rate for May 2020. This will also eventually affect the residential real estate market and also real estate investment trusts. When small and medium business is having a hard time paying their rent. It becomes very difficult for landlords when their tenants are not allowed to make any money due to a shutdown. The delinquencies in Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) surged to 7.15% in May. This is the highest delinquency rate since 2009. CMBS are bonds that hold mortgages of commercial real estate, usually in different sectors. The worst performing commercial real estate sector is retail and hospitality. The problems in commercial real estate, will eventually spread to residential real estate and make the housing market crash. The housing market today and in the future is affected greatly by unemployment and business bankruptcies. Right now, it seems the stock market is ignoring the huge problems in the economy. The Commercial Real Estate Delinquencies Surge Will affect All Real Estate And REIT Stocks. The number of retail space per capita exploded between 2018 and 2020 in America because of the low rates. So, now, the rate will pick up soon enough, no buyers, tons of sellers. Bankruptcy for those who can’t pay the debt by selling assets because demand is low. America all hell is about to break loose. The US retail space per capita is huge compared to the whole rest of the world. The retail space per person in the US is 23.5 square feet. The next biggest one is Canada, which is sixteen point eight, and then. Australia, which is eleven point two and then Japan and other European countries. We are about fifty percent bigger than the next biggest one in Canada and more than double the second biggest one in Australia, and then we're like four or five times most of Europe and everyplace else. There has been too much construction in US real estate. There was a tsunami of oversupply. This means we have a lot of extra retail space, and if they're not paying their mortgages now, there could be a lot of empty retail stores and space. Especially with the headwinds of online retail sales advancing every year. This could be kind of a perfect storm for retail, commercial mortgages and commercial buildings and any kind of retail locations. The number one victim is going to be retail. Retail was already feeling the effect of e-commerce. We already had a very significant oversupply in retail, so retail is probably going to take the biggest hit. The second biggest hit is going to be hospitality, again we built a lot of hotels for the last five years. We were already beginning to see oversupply affecting occupancy unquestionably, but this is going to dramatically make things much worse. We won't see a lot of retailers reopen. I don't think we'll see a lot of hotels reopen either. Now factor in the damage of the shutdowns and the historic high unemployment and the protests. This is a perfect storm for the commercial real estate market. I see another 2000 bubble brewing. One thing I’ve learned about finance is that it takes personal experiences for people to understand any economic impact on them. For example, people in small towns may not feel the impact of economic shutdown like people in cities, so they think everything is fine. But the loss of overall GDP will affect everyone when massive deflation hits their home prices. The devastation will hit everyone; it’s just a matter of time. Economies are not isolated but interwoven internationally. All economies will crash in 2021. ALL. The Fed is simply bailing out their buddies on Wall Street as an exit strategy so they can bunker down while working Americans have to bootstraps the economy back up in a decade, so the leeches can pilfer society once again. The FED is printing a shitload of fiat. And interest rates are a mere fraction of what they were in the late 70s and early 80s. It is very telling. End the FED. This was The Atlantis Report.

👉Is the New Jobs Report Really this Positive !

👉Is the New Jobs Report Really this Positive !





A V-shaped recovery is a pipe dream. Most of the service sector is toast. Small business has been hit very badly by the closures and the riots; many have been burned to the ground and won't be fully re-opened any time soon. Small businesses make up 99.7 percent of U.S. employer firms, 64 percent of net new private-sector jobs, 49.2 percent of private-sector employment, and 42.9 percent of private-sector payroll. This is what we know so far: The U.S. jobless rate fell to 13.3 percent, from 14.7 percent a month earlier, and employers added 2.5 million jobs in May. But the economy had lost 22.1 million jobs combined in March and April. Payrolls are nearly 20 million below their pre-COVID-19 level. The worst unemployment rate in 80 years. We still have a long way to climb out of the hole. The report NEVER mentioned what kind of jobs these are. All service industries.Fast food restaurants, people who do your nails? I'm not slamming that workforce, but are those 2.5 million jobs paying the kind of money to sustain a family? Manufacturing, Industry, etc. I read that a large percentage of it was bars and food services. Makes sense, you can't open those places without staff, even without customers. Plus, since they survive on tips, sure, they are "employed," but making minimum wage tops given the occupancy is probably 25% of pre-COVID. If you're in that industry, you are going to be dramatically better off unemployed for the next year, or find a new job. Temporary layoffs were not counted in the unemployment numbers. So when they get called back to work, they are counted as jobs gains. These aren’t new jobs. Furloughed employees are returning to work. Nine million unemployed workers were deliberately left off the unemployment rolls due to a new colorful classification. There are more unemployed workers now than there was a month ago. And if we could get the unemployment numbers as reported by each state, I bet they would be a lot different. so we moved people off the unemployment rolls and onto PPP so their bosses can hand out the government cheese, and this counts as "employed." Wait until the rest of the PPP loans are exhausted, and more employees are let go. We have 160+ million workings, and 40+ million are currently unemployed. That makes a more or less 25% unemployment rate. The real unemployment numbers are 35 percent, according to ShadowStats. And all this despite The bailouts, The Stimulus, massive deficits, the payroll tax holiday, near-zero interest rates, and the FED's MULTI TRILLION QE program. Atlanta FED's last GDP prediction for Q2 is now -52%. Look at these numbers. We've never seen anything like them. The national debt is going to hit $26 trillion soon. Up around 6 trillion under Trump.Debt to GDP ratio of 122%. He ain't lying when he says he's the King of Debt! And the Federal Budget Deficit is at $3.8 TRILLION, Spin that. Bread lines in most inner cities and some rural areas. Hate & Divisiveness Index soaring. What else is left? Well, not much. The USA is in a "V for Vendetta" type recovery. The magnitude of the Q2 numbers are really difficult to comprehend. With so much deficit piling up to sustain the economy, I wonder how long this can continue. In most simplistic terms, it appears the US economy is like the Seinfeld show - much activity to produce subsidized goods and services that nobody actually wants or demands. I think a leading indicator of a Seinfeld economy might be new car sales. "it's really the most wonderful recovery I've ever seen!" said Trump. How desperate is Trump! He's dancing for joy at 13.3% unemployment! He lost 22 million jobs in two months. Then he gains 2.5 million back and pretends he accomplished something. Honestly, the guy is losing me. If we had ANY reasonable alternative, I would choose it. How about an "incredible" 10 trillion dollar stimulus package this time to suit the greatest economy there ever was? Anything less would be unworthy of such a magnificent economy. That should be a "tremendous" economy. TRUMP praised the V-SHAPED RECOVERY But WILL ASK CONGRESS TO PASS MORE STIMULUS. He said he’ll ask Congress to pass more stimulus money, including a payroll tax cut. He wants more stimulus because the last heroine hit is quickly wearing off. Unironically, just before he announced the need for even more stimulus, the president was praising the V-shaped recovery in both the economy and the stock market. Employment up 2.5 Million, and he wants more stimulus? Can't have it both ways, Trump. What numbers are we supposed to believe! Asking for more stimulus just poured cold water on his “everything is great again” speech yesterday. We have a V-shaped recovery, but the economy needs more stimulus. Translation: Get ready to bend over again, working stiffs, because we're going to steal your wealth to enrich the bankers and big corporations again. But nobody told that pompous that V stands for Vacuous. Trump was off the hook yesterday morning with the pump and dump. The United States government under Donald Trump pulled a number out of thin air and pumped up the stock market with it. “Tremendous progress is being made on vaccines,” Trump said during a Friday morning press conference from the White House. “In fact, we’re ready to go in terms of transportation and logistics. We have over 2 million ready to go if it checks out for safety.” Two million vaccines that may not work, ready to go! Tremendous progress. Wee!!! The news broke as the market started to fall. He got a momentary pop out of it. Pumping up fake markets and ignoring deficit and debt. Only a fool believes what any politician or bureaucrat spits out. Trump's promise to cut the deficit in half has changed to a promise to double, triple, or quadruple the incredibly large deficit. He has flip-flopped on so many issues. As always, the politician reneges on absolutely everything. Makes sense! V-shaped recovery, but we still need stimulus. Print your way to prosperity. And don't forget yield curve control and negative rates. All necessary. He is buying the mirage of a healthy economy that we will have to pay for. This is crazy. To hear this speech by Trump, is simply to understand the disconnect of the population from reality, for the POTUS speaks to this group. Whoever wrote Trump's speech should be sacked. If not, Trump is on meds. And he still wants negative rates. Part of any president's job is to be a cheerleader for the economy. Why would more stimulus be needed when the economy is obviously in recovery from the shortest recession ever recorded in history, according to the stock market fueled by incredible employment numbers. This is not a V-shaped recovery, but a swirling whirlpool of doom. Ask Congress for more stimulus? Praise for the V-shaped recovery? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? It's like putting out a fire with gasoline. It's wet, so at some point, it has to work. More likely, a V-shaped dead cat bounce in a buying votes season. If Trump believes those BS numbers from the BLS today, with all the screaming empirical data that exists, he is a lot dumber than I thought. Then again, he's a politician, and those fake numbers suit him just fine. He is also a member of the elite wealth club and lives in the back pocket of the bankers. Let's hope he doesn't run to his bunker scared when the 50 Million unemployed start rioting. No economy in the world can be sustained on fake numbers. As always, debt/printed money/phony non-market low-interest rates must be taken into account as to whatever rebound occurs. I'm watching closely for a better price to obtain more Precious Metals. Why do we need more stimulus in a V-shaped recovery? If we have a real recovery, no stimulus will be necessary. Funnel MORE MONEY to the CORRUPT Politicians, Wall Street, the Banks, and CORPORATE WELFARE SOCIALISTS. Complete takeover and elimination of the middle class and small business. This has been going on since 2008-09. The Fed bailed out the banks with 900 BILLION starting Sept 2019 until COVID in April. And the "initial" bailout was only 700 Billion, or the entire world was going to end back in 2008. Forget the unemployment rate. It is basically useless with all the carve-outs. Using the labor participation rate, in addition to other metrics, gives a more accurate analysis. Before the pandemic hit, there were over 11 million unemployed or part-time looking for full time. This was NEVER the best economy as Trump was trying to bs people into believing. In fact, there was more hiring during Obama's last years in office than in Trump's time in office. There are known 40 million newly unemployed by the unemployment applications. Add 11+ million to that, and there are over 50 million unemployed. This is the number Jerome Powell looks at when he tells Congress to do something, and don't worry about the debt. We need a jobs program and more at this point. An indication of the anger in America is reflected in the streets, and it has little to do with racism. It is pent up anger coming out in the form of what the politicians want, a divided nation. When groups are pitted against each other, they are not united and attacking the true culprit. The greed and corruption that is making money off of the low wages and unemployment. And I am not saying Obama was any better. We are living in a fed-enabled world. It has our backs; everything too big to fail has won the lottery; the rest can just vanish silently. The End result will be the value of the US Dollar. Socialism is unsustainable. In the end, no one owns anything, and we all live in government-subsidized housing, rely on government handouts for food, and the healthcare system is overrun because the experts refuse to work for chump change. Let's give Wall Street another $1 trillion. They are good people, said Trump. This could be where Trump finally goes off the rails. Elected as a populist but now just plays financial shell games. Where's that corruption cleanup everyone was promised a few years ago?! Trump solved the economy, racism, North Korea, windmill cancer, and built a wall around the white house and cured the virus. Too many people didn't take him seriously when he said he would run the country the way he ran his many failed businesses. The only president in the history of the US that printed and still printing trillions of dollars, lots of them. By the time he is out of office in a few months, he would have printed $20 Trillion. A New York Billionaire Con Artist sold a "Populist" movement. When Mnuchin and Kushner showed up running the country, everybody should have seen that is never about the "People." And he just threatened to unleash the military on Americans. It is going to be sad Independence Day this year. You would have to be stupid to think that things are heading in the right direction. Things are spiraling down the drain faster than you can blink! Welcome back to The Atlantis Report. You are here for your daily dose of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's disturbing to read about all the talking heads, including committees in Congress, either pretending to be clueless or truly are about the Federal Reserve. It is a private entity with a profit motive and goal directly opposed to that which it pays lip service to. The more loans it provides, the more powerful it becomes. Right now, the biggest task for them seems to be the effort to hide the exponential inflation that is occurring. Prudent stewardship of the money supply and monetary policy was abandoned a long time ago if it ever was something the Fed actually cared about. People are not stupid, so with time, they will figure out that actions speak louder than words, and when abuse and deception become institutionalized, they follow suit. The moral decay that is soon about to have run its course started with large financial institutions playing the markets through manipulation. Later this became too easy, so nations were played, and now it's global. The Fed, together with other central banks, are at the top of a defacto criminal racket to siphon off real value and centralize control for the political class that works as their accomplices. The illusory power that they have stolen is further used to wage war and create suffering on a gigantic scale. The mere fact that these entities exist is a testament to how utterly confused and misinformed people are on purpose. At what point was the concept abandoned an economy is a productivity, a good investment value? Funny money and sky-high PE ratios do not an economy make. Nor do I know how one can say an economy is strong; we have to throw funny money at or lower rates to near zero. Seems to me this is merely an admission of the opposite, that one has an economic emergency on their hands, a sick patient. In a strong economy, you have to raise rates and thereby back off on artificially allowing inflation of the money supply. This funny money is like saying people never had it better, out of one side of your mouth, and out of the other side saying we need emergency funding, to stem starvation. 2 + 2 never equals 5. You know, I don't think anybody, at large, dares to be honest anymore. Nobody will call a pile of dung anything but fertilizer. It all goes back to Grover Norquist and the K Street Project. I don't see any real difference between conservatives and liberals when it comes to the buffet of pork. They merely champion their pet projects, and all ultimately subscribe to a bottom line of something for nothing, pile up more and more debt, what me worry? The U.S is a one-party system when it comes to looting the Treasury, the national wealth. At some point, politicians need to be featured on American Greed. The law has been clear since the 1930s, and the politicians have simply deceived the population. Your payroll taxes were spent the day they were collected as they still are by contributors to this day. An additional 26 Trillion was borrowed and spent as well. People do not know this, but when a person gets their Social Security check, it comes straight from the US Treasury general funds account from taxes and borrowings gathered today. These numbers are rolling so fast, and 2020 is so unique. Estimates have to be very loose, but around two-thirds of every Social Security deposit is borrowed right now. In terms of accounting, the US Government and all governments operate like money laundering operations that only appear to be legal. Payroll taxes are just taxes, like all other revenues collected by governments. Taxes are too high on the employed and employers, and this particular scam being payroll taxes was political deception 85 years ago and long past absurd in 2020. Cut taxes and rewrite tax laws at all levels, especially eliminating ALL state and local taxes and the legal right to levy them. How much of your total income remains to you after all your taxes from all directions are considered at the end of the pay period? How much did you have to borrow? Well, sheeple, doesn't this story perfectly show what the BLS report was as fraudulent as the US economy itself?!! Just another TRICKLE-UP excuse to give the rich more and none for the poor. What small businesses? They're gone!! The fake market will implode soon. Get out now before you lose everything. I warned you. It's a casino, and the Fed has the place rigged. End the Fed, abolish the IRS, reduce government by 90%, implement a 15% flat tax on nonessential goods, back currency with hard assets, return to a constitutional republic. These are the true looters of this country—the real criminals. This was The Atlantis Report. Please Like. Share. Subscribe.
