Why Are Central Banks Buying Gold?


Posted Apr 3, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

US20Gold pile 2

Investors’ curiosity has peaked as central banks are increasing their gold purchases. We are not going back to a Bretton Woods type situation and that is not the issue. You must understand that gold is neutral. Central banks are buying gold because the Neocons have weaponized the dollar.

Russia was removed from the SWIFT system, and private citizens’ assets were confiscated. When Russian assets were removed from SWIFT, a threat to the world was issued to say, “Hey, if you don’t do what we tell you to do, we will take you out of SWIFT.”

This is not the end of the dollar. Money continues to pour into US equities, particularly the Dow. Why? When the drum of war is beating, major institutions rush to move their money into a safe haven, which happens to be the US at this point in time. The big money is not purchasing start-up equities on the Nasdaq, for example, as they will not take that risk. Our computer model indicates the Dow will continue rising into 2032 as it remains one of the last safe havens.

The West has become extremely aggressive in its geopolitics. You simply do not buy the debt of your enemy. Central banks are buying gold because the USD is political.

There is a stark difference between short-term and long-term bonds. The central banks have zero control over the short-term and that is how this whole QE fiasco began as central banks began purchasing long-term debt in an attempt to reduce long-term interest. Why would you buy long-term when war, the primary driver of inflation, is looming? This is a serious situation that the neocons who have weaponized the dollar simply do not understand.

How to Destroy a Nation in 2 Generations

Inheritance 2

QUESTION: I believe you analyzed inheritance and how altering it had contributed to society’s decline. Politicians here in Australia are talking about when you die; everything should go to the state because it is not fair that one person inherits more than another.

I would greatly appreciate any comments you might have historically on that subject.

Bret

Inheritance Tax

REPLY: Yes, I forgot when I did that analysis. It was a long time ago. Inheritance Taxes are Marxist and highly destructive economically. Suppose you have a company worth $100 million; your children must pay 40% taxes. They have to fire people and sell assets to cover the tax. This has been HIGHLY destructive in farming. Heirs have been forced to sell off farmland to pay the tax. This is how large farming companies and Bill Gates have accumulated farmland. This exploitation of the heir reduces productivity and thus reduces GDP and employment.

Before Marxism, inheritance became the primary reason the first son inherited everything during the Middle Ages, and the second son was donated to the church to become a priest, whether he liked it or not. In ancient times, if you had many children and evenly divided an estate among them, you effectively destroyed society’s productive capacity.

Charlemagne 11

There had previously been two types of marriage in France, temporary and permanent, until the Catholic Church insisted on only permanent marriages. Charlemagne married all his daughters in only a “temporary” marriage, meaning that they possessed no legal right to the throne or property. That was the distinction between the two types. The question of inheritance was a major issue historically.

The ancients knew the consequences of dividing estates (partibility) among heirs. Sparta in Greece rewarded fathers based on the number of children. Sparta wanted soldiers, so the more children, the better. But Sparta undermined its own economy in the process. Production of children was rewarded in Sparta, and the fathers of three or four sons were exempted from military service and other economic burdens. Aristotle is sharply critical of this practice and wrote:

“It is obvious that, if there were many children, the land being distributed as it is, many of them must necessarily fall into poverty.”

If you create a major company like Ford Motors and you die, then the government is only interested in grabbing taxes. They think nothing about the jobs this company creates. The ancients realized that even dividing it up equally among the heirs destroys the productive capacity of the entity. This is why they evolved into the first son who inherited everything to preserve the estate rather than destroy it.

Jefferson Greatest Threat

After 2032, we MUST prohibit any such idea of direct taxation (income/inheritance) as the Founding Fathers of the US Constitution intended. They understood this lesson from the past – Marx was a hateful, jealous person, only concerned with not having as much as his neighbor. This is what has brought us to the brink of disaster. Our government has followed Marx rather than those who created the Constitution out of experience.

Paine on Govt

Thomas Paine was famous for saying: Give me liberty or death. But he also made it very clear why history repeats fro the people refuse to ever learn:

“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worse state, an intolerable one.”

Putin Spotted Laughing as Biden Celebrates with “Oyster Bunnies”


Posted originally on the CTH on April 1, 2024 | Sundance

I strongly doubt that Chairman Xi, President Putin or Chairman Kim think about Joe Biden for a single moment. Everyone knows Biden is a propped optic for the people behind the administration who control him.

At a certain point it just gets embarrassing to keep pretending. Check his polling, Biden isn’t collapsing because the left dislike his policies; Biden is collapsing because more and more leftists are being ridiculed and shamed.

Today, Joe Biden celebrated his national transgender egg roll days with the “oyster bunnies.” WATCH:

It was really bad.  Really bad.

Happy Transgender Day – Forget Easter


Posted originally on Mar 31, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Easter is Transgender Day

If anyone dares to question why the United States will break apart and separate, you must move to California. Biden has just declared Easter is really Transgender Day. He did not give us a memo on how to celebrate. I guess we do not have to hunt for eggs or give presents. So, I guess we are all supposed to be cross-dressers today. We now have Biden effectively declaring Easter Sunday Transgender Day, which is basically a FU to all Christians while they are really saying take your religion and stuff it. The Biden Administration, like Marx, has effectively declared religion the OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE, and they have no respect for anything you believe.

Like Zelensky in Ukraine outlawing Eastern Orthodox religion and nullifying their holidays, including outlawing their Christmas in January, which has been celebrated for more than 1,000 years, the Biden White House is trying to eradicate our religious beliefs and customs.

When Biden won the White House, they were cheering that they would change America into their vision of la la land – Californization of the entire country. That is what I mean; the people who are really running the show in the White House HATE America! They hate religion, our culture, and everything about what made America – America. They are trying to desperately destroy everything about the United States that once made our country great and the beacon of liberty around the world. LIBERTY is old fashioned – they are now autocratic dictators that we MUST live by what they decree or else!

Those Days of Freedom Are Gone

Sleep Walking into WWIII

This Biden Administration is sleep-walking the country into World War III to reduce the population all for the Climate Change zealots and to appease the NEOCONs who cannot sleep at night without hating someone.

Biden_Confirms_This_Is_World_War_III

The Neocons wrote the script for Biden to read, for they made sure they started the civil war in Ukraine as the spearhead to use to go after Russia. This was a Declaration of War that they announced on March 26th, 2022, and bypassed Congress entirely to manipulate the country into war.

CNN Biden Denying Free Speech

We already knew that FREEDOM OF SPEECH means nothing anymore, as the Biden Administration orders private companies to censor people they cannot do directly. Biden even created, on April 27, 2022, the Disinformation Governance Board (DGB), an advisory board of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to control the free press. Then Biden tells Texas it has NO RIGHT whatsoever to defend its own people.

Voter ID

I am sorry, but with this agenda, it is only a matter of time before History Repeats, and we will see a unified separatist movement start to form. NOBODY will accept the results of this election, and there is NO WAY these people in Washington will allow either Trump or RFK to win the White House. All the studies show that Trump would have won in 2020 without mail-in ballots. The Democrats are handing out voter registrations to noncitizens. Merrick tells Congress VOTER IDs are not necessary, yet they threaten any state that insists on IDs to vote as discriminatory. You cannot board a plane or drive a car without a photo ID, but you can vote with nothing? This is all to rig the elections. There is no way this will be a fair election, and they DO NOT GIVE A SHIT anymore what you vote for or what you think. They will win no matter what.

A VOTE FOR BIDEN IS A VOTE AGAINST

EVERYTHING AMERICA STOOD FOR

Because it is for the DEEP STATE

Civil War in any country typically followed two factors. When a nation PRETENDS to be a democracy, like the Roman Republic, but while people may vote, once in power, the leaders do whatever they want. This has unfolded in the United States, and the Biden Administration has taken this to new heights. Zelensky was elected promising peace in Ukraine and has done the opposite. This is the #1 factor that led to all civil wars throughout history. The #2 factor was when the people become divided according to IDENTITY rather than philosophy, such as Catholic vs. Protestant, Suni vs. Shitie, Black vs. White, Marxist vs. Capitalist. Today, 40% of Democrats vote Democrat not because of philosophy but because of IDENTITY. The same is true about Republicans. This is the crisis in Washington that has identified Republicans who no longer represent the philosophy but vote because they are part of the Deep State IDENTITY – hence RINOs.

When the people are so divided, and the groups begin to hate each other as is unfolding, then our failed Republican form of government is NOT a democracy in the slightest, and they, like Zelensky, will say whatever needs to be said to win an election and then do as they like. This clip from the London Financial Times shows how DEMOCRACY suddenly became POPULISM because people voted for an outsider like Trump, and they were terrified.

This is why the United States will go into a civil war. This formula has identified civil wars for thousands of years, leaping out from our computer models that have looked at the rise and fall of nations. It is NOT equality or the differential in wealth. It is when fundamental fairness is thrown out the window for power. EVERY single city-state, nation, or empire has fallen when it has crossed this threshold and is buried in a common grave.

That said, I personally do not believe those controlling the White House, and thus all the government agencies, will allow anyone BUT Biden to win this election. They have gone too far to allow anyone to overturn their agenda. I find it very curious that this movie comes out on April 12th on the future American Civil War.  The American Civil War actually began on April 12th, 1861 (1861.279). So, the release date is historical. Our computer shows that the United States will no longer stand united by 2036.489.

Our computer has projected that 2024 will sow the seeds for the end of the United States. According to the historian Suetonius, Caesar said his famous phrase, ālea iacta est (“the die has been cast”). In other words, the dice have been thrown. That is what our computer has forecast for 2024. The precise date of that turning point is September 4/5th, 2024.

The Dice Have Been Cast

According to leaked sources, Biden’s new simplified income-tax form to fund World War III and his Proposed $7.5 trillion budget will be revised, containing only four lines:

1. What was your income for the year?

2. What were your expenses?

3. How much have you left?

4. Send it in.

Maine and the coming CBDC


Posted originally on the CTH on March 29, 2024

The quoted banker does not specifically talk about the Central Bank Digital Currency that lays at the end of the promoted rainbow; the author does. However, the banker does outline a familiar step in the current process.  As a result, it is worth drawing attention to the continuum.

MAINE – “According to Hannigan, the COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to implement “paper-free and virtual processes” to handle their finances while “adapting to the new reality.

“For years, Americans had been slowly moving away from cash and paper checks, but the pandemic supercharged the trend,” Hannigan wrote. “By last year, 41% said they never use cash for purchases, up from 24% in 2015, according to the Pew Research Center. Only 14% still exclusively use cash and checks.” (Read More)

There is a BIG difference between electronic funds (current), and a digital dollar (future).

Upcoming AMA, Great Replacement Theory, General Information


Posted originally on the CTH on March 29, 2024 | Sundance

Go back in your mind to the time when anxiety around the COVID-19 pandemic was at its apex.  Think about what you saw, heard, witnessed in real life, and understood about the overall issues.  Then, remember and overlay the intensity around the 2021 vaccination demands by various health and government officials.

Think about what you witnessed, experienced, saw, read about and have an undeniable reference for, as it directly pertained to the intense drive by various government and health agencies about the vaccination protocol in 2021.

Think carefully about the fear that was generated.

Think not only about what you witnessed here in the United States, but also think carefully and remind yourself what you witnessed unfolding in the rest of what we would call the “Western world” around the COVID-19 pandemic – and the vaccination protocol specifically.

Remind yourself of the demands, not just on Americans, but people living in the areas that do not have restrictions on government and freedom for individual liberty – protections that exist uniquely in the USA under our constitution.

Remind yourself of the action of the Canadian government, the vaccine passports demanded by the EU and the Australian/NZ government.  The rules and arbitrary restrictions imposed by so-called Western government leadership.

Think about examples where you personally witnessed these issues unfolding.

Think about what you saw unfold with your own eyes.

Put your frame of reference back into that place.

Close your eyes and remind yourself, YOU DID witness these things.

Those events were real; they really did happen.  The quarantine camps were real. The “show your papers” approach was empirically true. The forced vaccination demand was real.  Travel and freedom were genuinely under the control of government authorities.  The local, state and federal police really did comply with enforcing the nonsense.

Remind yourself of all of it.

Make yourself emotionally, and psychologically revisit that time in your mind’s reference.

Now, before going forward, overlay what you remember in 2021 with the 2022 western government sanction map as a context.

The similarity between what you remember about the 2021 vaccination compliance within the most authoritarian regions, and those same regions responding in 2022 unity to the RU sanction situation, are not coincidental.

Now, overlay the percentage of vaccine compliance!

For Americans, think about the level of compliance with the vaccination demand inside the United States.

Approximately 75% of Americans took the COVID-19 vaccine as promoted and demanded by mechanisms of the U.S. federal, state and local government.

It is important to take emotional judgement out of your mindset.  Do NOT judge those Americans who took the vaccine either from a place of fear or from a place of forced compliance due to financial threats.  Judgement upon them is unfair and of little value.

Accept that everyone did what was in their interests; and accept that many did not have a choice due to work rules and compliance mechanisms forced upon them.  DROP judgement from your viewpoint.  Just stand back and think about overall compliance.

Approximately 25% of Americans did not succumb to the overwhelming pressure of government.  The non-compliance in the USA was higher than the non-compliance of any nation in the zone outlined above (in yellow).   Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and the EU had a much higher rate of compliance – much higher.

In part, this was/is driven by American skepticism of any mandate.  Our ancestral DNA contains a spirit of distrust toward government.  We Americans are less compliant with control regimes.  In essence, and in a very broad generalization, we Americans cling to our individual liberty with a stronger ferocity than most.

NOW…

Think about that 20-25% of the population that did not comply, and perhaps add the percentage of the population that reluctantly -very reluctantly- did comply.

Accept what I am about to say with the spirit of its intent….

…. When things get seriously sketchy in the next several months, THAT’S YOUR TRIBE.

That non-compliant sector of Americans, the 25% that refused to absorb the weight of pressure upon them, that is our hope.   That’s our tribe of allies when the SHTF.

That group, and it may splinter your overall review of who is on your team, that group is your ally.

After long discussions in the past several years, I am increasingly convinced that percentage of non-compliance is directly proportional to the number of imported illegal aliens at the U.S. southern border.

The people, institutions, government agencies and various regulatory/compliance systems have identified the scale of how many Americans still hold that DNA strain of non-compliance.  The number of imported compliant aliens is not coincidentally proportional to the number of non-compliant Americans during the COVID-19 vaccination timeframe.

The agencies of government need social compliance for the next phases of social engineering.  They have identified the size of their task.

The next phases of the cleaving will all revolve around economics; that’s where the motives and intents of the Western financial walls, walls clouded under the auspices of the Russian sanction regime, comes from.

When you think about the biggest of the big pictures, control over the monetary and financial system is at the root of controlled liberty.

The world is cleaving; or more accurately, the world is being increasingly cleaved.  However, it’s not cleaving purely over the issue of ideology; the core motive is the root of all evil – the love of money.

The control of the monetary system, ultimately the control of human physical activity, is the originating motive of all control mechanisms.

I know at a granular level this is big, complex and complicated shift to understand, but I truly sense we are nearing a phase where it will become transparently clear.

When the mechanisms are introduced, and I mean the big CBDC mechanisms that are currently under construction, approximately 75% of the American people will accept and adhere to the demands within those mechanisms.  This is where the compliance rate from the COVID-19 vaccination gives us a reference. Approximately 25% will solidly not accept what is coming, and that scale of understanding should help put context upon the challenge before us.

I have put myself out there in the world to gain a very specific understanding of the constructs at a granular level.  Other people have far more skill and expertise than me in the mechanics of the financial system; that’s simply not my focus.

My focus was/is twofold.  (1) To understand the mechanics of what/why; and then (2) to get a granular, very granular, level of understanding around “HOW” this will likely unfold and how it will impact.  Meaning, what will they do to ensure compliance, and how will that compliance demand surface in the details of ordinary life?

With that in mind, I could spend hours writing about it – and I likely will – however, in the interest of time and urgency I want to tailor and frame my outlines based on your needs.

So….

Tomorrow, Saturday, at 18:00 U.S. Eastern (6:00pm EST), my plan is to post an “Ask me Anything” thread, where I can answer your specific questions.

Keep in mind, this is not an opportunity to ask large general questions, that’s too difficult – takes too many words.  However, if people have very specific questions about how this is being put together by the people and institutions within them, I feel generally confident to be able to answer those questions.

The last time I attempted an AMA it was very difficult.  I don’t like leaving people without answers, and the volume of inbound requests was extreme.  For this AMA I will have specific guidelines and requests which should provide optimal feedback and value in both your time and mine.

Because the core of our association is the only tribe I sense to gain the highest benefit, I will open the AMA thread as a password protected post (same password as always), and then remove the password later making the AMA public the following day.

If you have questions, specific and granular questions, about the efforts I have undertaken in the past two years – as well as specific questions about where I see this going in the next two years – this is the opportunity.

Remember, you are the angels on my shoulder.

I will work earnestly and with the strongest sense of stewardship to provide the most brutally honest and detailed answers to all of your questions.

Steadfast,

~ Sundance
