Gold’s rise to $2,800 is driven by Eastern central bank buying and BRICS’ de-dollarization efforts. This impacts global finance, treasuries, Bitcoin, and geopolitical tensions.

Chris Martenson and Paul Kiker discuss election impacts on financial markets, BRICS de-dollarization, rising US Treasury yields, recession risks, and market volatility.

Chris Martenson and Paul Kiker discuss financial developments, including rising interest rates post-Fed cut, government debt, market trends, and the potential benefits of investing in commodities and precious metals.

Chris Martenson interviews Kevin McKernan about DNA contamination in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, discussing potential health risks, regulatory oversight failures, and implications for vaccine safety.

In this live discussion at Porcfest 2024, Chris Martenson and Jeffrey Tucker critique the economic and monetary policies of recent years, highlighting inflation, taxation, and government manipulation. They explore the lasting consequences of these policies on purchasing power, healthcare, and generational wealth.

Chris’s presentation at Porcfest 2024 highlights the reality of the quickening: Economic crises due to rising debt, unsustainable energy consumption, and a weakening financial system, driven by exponential growth and resource limitations.

In this interview, Chris and David Russell discuss how global uncertainty is driving gold prices, with central banks and high-net-worth investors acting prudently, and a potential rise in fear-based investing looming.

The US government has racked up $12 trillion in debt over the past four years. What will you do when it’s racking up $12 trillion every four months? Because that’s where we’re headed. Meanwhile, global financial conditions are as easy as they’ve ever been. What’s the emergency you ask? Good question…

What if the Fed doesn’t rescue the next downturn? What if the resulting rout will be used to trigger The Great Taking machinery which will then provide the cover for the rapid adoption of CBDCs? Germany’s stock market powering to illogical new highs tells us something is ‘off’ and we’re trying to figure out what.

More than two months after the first assassination attempt against trump we still don’t know the answers to shockingly basic questions.

The “apolitical” Fed cut rates by an emergency amount just 6 weeks before a major and contentious election thereby rewarding incumbents. As always, they did this even though it will reward existing asset owners and punish the young who are starting out in life. It’s just who they are, to their bones.

The second Trump assassination attempt is proving to be as revealing and instructive as the first one.  For some reason it’s HARD to protect Trump properly. The DNC is responsible for fanning the social flames that have brought us to these attempts, but they seem unable to do much more than DARVO and (perversely) blame Trump.Click Here for Part 2

This is the audio from my livecast regarding the second Trump assassination attempt.

Would it be foolish to think ‘this time is different?’ Of course! It’s never different. There has to be a balance between claims on the economy and the real economy’s outputs. Today those are historically stretched beyond recovery. It’s time to plant a garden – or start a farm!

Paul and I discuss a few of the major economic topics that were evaded and avoided during the Trump-Harris debate. We deserve a discussion and some answers because of the gravity of the situation.

Do you pay property taxes? Do you rent? In either case you’ve been ripped off by local taxing authorities who have been running a widespread but illegal operation that has systematically overvalued properties for the purpose of fraudulently collecting higher taxes. Their motivation? Their paychecks, presumably, but that’s just a guess. It could be more than that.Click Here for Part 2

Currencies, Oil, gold, stocks and bonds. Everything is in flux at the moment and markets have the feel of being ‘toppy.’ Things could get really bumpy over the next few months.

We need to keep the pressure up while we can in hopes of finally getting the right questions asked of the right people.

Good health is your birthright. It should be your baseline. Sickness should be a temporary departure from health. But most foods have been specifically designed to make people unhealthy. Getting back to excellent health begins, and often ends, with eating right.

What an we trust anymore from or government. It turns out the consensus is “very little.” Well, we still have to make decisions and carry on with our lives, which makes your team and information sources more important than ever.

At what line do we say someone’s forced labor crosses over from ‘voluntary’ to being a slave? Certainly that happens at 100% of one’s labor. I would submit that’s still true at 99%, and so now the argument is where exactly is that line?

We’re in the grip of a cult that worships death and disease. One that thinks nothing of harming children, for life. It’s sad, but true. Now that we know that, let’s reject its failed ideology and instead create a world worth inheriting. One based on reason and science, and wisdom.

It’s important that we get to the bottom of the Trump assassination attempt. The near-total silence from the FBI and the Secret Service about the many lines of inquiry and necessary bits of evidence reeks of a cover-up. By answering these three basic questions, we believe the crime scene may finally give up its secrets.

The Harris-Walz ‘plan’ for taxes and the economy are guaranteed to lead to ruin. But they make for great policies rooted in envy and resentment – the twin sources of fuel for all Communist-Marxist movements throughout history. Please take heed and move your wealth out of harms’ way.

Big Food, Pharma and Medicine have all failed in their responsibilities to be good and caring entities. They have knowingly conspired to make people chronically addicted and sick. They have specifically targeted children too in their quest to create life-time customers for their crap products and symptom-masking services.

Given the paucity of people on the West side of Crooks’ shooting position, how did all the LEOs on that side manage to miss him? And why do we not yet have any body cams from LEOs on that side? Tune in to find out more…

The FBI has done everything it can to obstruct the investigation into the J13 incident. I think there’s only one conclusion to be drawn here…

The equity markets are going to have a hefty correction at some point…but the signs say “not yet.” At times like these, having a defined strategy with rock-solid rules is essential.

We are now at the heart of the case. Unraveling the locations and actions of the two ‘overwatch’ snipers will determine the trajectory of this case. Why they weren’t on the roof? Why did Greg Nicol leave his post? How it was possible for Secret Service to have such a different version of events about the AGR protection detail?

We’re chewing through the local LEO body and car cams to crips up the timeline as any good investigation should. It’s still a mystery why this is being left up to all of us to accomplish, but perhaps it’s because the errors and gaffes (if that’s what they were) were terminally embarrassing or even completely inexplicable.

Where did the blood in the bathroom come from? How did that “operator” get to the bathroom? Not through the only door we know was operating on the East side. Was there another door? If it didn’t come from an ‘operator’ then who did it come from?

The Butler police body cam footage provides an abundance of information, settling some mysteries while stoking a host of others. On the whole, they did nothing to tamp down the speculation that somebody ‘let it happen.’

The collectivist mindset cannot be reasoned with. It is immune to logic and resistant to any countervailing facts on the ground. Join Peter Boghossian and I as we struggle mightily to grasp a mindset that might as well be alien to us.

The Secret Service’s many lapses before during and after the near-assassination of Trump are gone over in detail. Acting SS Director Ronald Rowe is caught in obvious distortions of the truth that rise to the level of intentional lying.

The “markets” are busy shaking themselves apart on the one hand and being propped up and rescued by central banks on the other. Which force will prove to be greater over the next few months?

To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, once you’ve run out of ways to make excuses based on rank incompetence, you are left with less savory explanations. The timeline of how the precise gap was left that Crooks perfectly exploited repels the mind. It’s unbelievable.

They’re convinced they are right. I am convinced they are wrong. Perhaps you find yourself in the same position with friends and family. We are being driven apart, and that’s by design. Cui Bono?

The data is leading us right back to the conclusion that there were two shooters that day in Butler taking shots at Trump and the stands. Audio analysis keeps pointing right back to our initial conclusion. Also, we can now rule out the lower windows in building 6 as the source of the first three shots (and realistically the next five as well).

Crooks’ unbelievable ‘luck’ in evading all the LEOs around the AGR buildings in his unlikely path to the roof is where this investigation needs to focus. The timeline stinks to high heaven. We are missing something here and we can all smell it.

The incredible Copenhaver film shows Crooks running across the AGR rooftops 3 minutes before the first shot rang out. This settles some questions, but raises many others, most notably how exactly are we supposed to believe that that the Secret Service agent in charge of placing the sniper teams was THAT incompetent?

An attempted assassination. A Democratic coup. Kamala wasn’t the border czar. Conservatives are “weird.” And a bizarre opening ceremony at the Olympics in France. We live in crazy times, right? But the markets just shrug these narratives off.

An ESU agent may be the hero of July 13th, 2024 having fired the 9th round and stopping Crooks from firing more. But the Secret Service comes off looking even worse for attempting to take credit for ending the threat while also throwing local police under the bus as often as possible. Truly deplorable behavior and I use that word carefully.

What were all the security personnel doing that day all around the AGR beside somehow entirely missing the presence of Crooks who a host of civilians spotted and were yelling about? There’s something quite fishy in this part of the story. It’s time to take a step back and apply first principles…

The official story is collapsing and the data is piling up! The “Stewart Film” is even more damning to the current official story than the Zapruder film was to the JFK fiction. Audio analysis re-confirms that the shots 1-3 are distinctly different sounding and quantitatively unlike shots 4-8. This best maps to the Two Shooters hypothesis.

The evidence is clear – Sniper Team #2 was in a perfect AND elevated position relative to Trump and therefore should have easily been able to spot Crooks. It’s possible they could have seen Crooks without him raising his head or being all the away to the ridge. Also, the lack of crime scene splatter isn’t consistent with Crooks’ head intercepting a .300 WinMag round.

The PA State Police are now at odds with the local Butler County authorities and that means there’s a chance this story could break open. So much hinges on exactly who failed to secure that two-story building and how the police could have fumbled Crooks being on the roof with a gun for so long. Hopefully one of them speaks up about the orders they received and who gave them.

The Investigation by the FBI and Secret Service is a complete clown show. Our ongoing investigation is firming up and has resolved the high likelihood of two shooters; it also raises troubling questions about who was in the building overlooking both the event itself and Crooks’ position.

Cheatle stonewalls and lies, while the grey-suited man raises questions. Meanwhile things look very bad for whoever was in the two story building and really tough and troubling questions emerge. The Citizens’ Investigation plows on!
