QUESTION: Marty, It seems like the Epoch Times is reporting nonsense. They just posted an article claiming that some analysis I never heard of claims that the Federal Reserve is “likely to reverse course and continue to print substantial amounts of money because doing otherwise would threaten the federal government with insolvency.” With the demand for US debt rising in the face of Europe, I do not understand this reasoning. Would you elaborate?
Thank you
IG
ANSWER: You are correct. This is the typical domestic analysis that only looks at the Fed and everything just inside the USA. The US is nowhere near insolvency at this time. That cannot be said for the rest of the world. The capital inflows are still pointing into the USA. Whenever there is war in Europe, capital flees to the United States. There is no way the USA is in danger of insolvency right now. That will eventually come, but that is post-2024.
This is the problem with the domestic analysis. It is the difference between a domestic fund manager and an international hedge fund manager who MUST be aware of everything taking place EVERYWHERE. The purpose of this blog is to show you that we are ALL connected globally, and what takes place in one region will impact the flow of capital globally.
The bull market into 1929, the 1989 bubble in Tokyo, and the dot.com bubble in 2000 were all created by the concentration of capital globally into that one region. That was the same for the Russian Financial Crisis of 1998. All the hedge funds and banks were buying Russian GKO debt at high rates of interest, assuming the IMF would never allow them to default. When they realized they were wrong and tried to exit, there was NO BID.
Hence, those hedge funds and bankers began to sell all investments everywhere else because they needed cash to make up for the losses from Russia.
This is why academics are ALWAYS wrong. They have never traded and do not comprehend how markets function. They always want to blame some mythical short-seller they have never found since the first investigation of the Panic of 1907.
When you call your broker, and he says there is “NO BID,” you are in the midst of a flash crash. Only a trader understands that.
Our computer has forecasted every such instance. There is no way the US is ready for insolvency. As the capital flows into the USA, the insolvencies are everywhere else such as Lebanon and Sir Lanka, for example.
Look closely at our capital flow map. Note that the capital is fleeing Europe. But also note that the sanctions imposed on private Russians have led to their liquidation of assets in the West, and capital is flowing back into Russia. Hence, as always, our politicians who listen to academics are doing everything precisely opposite of what they should be doing. Our Capital Flow Models, unlike any other tool, have identified that Biden’s sanctions have indeed already destroyed globalization. Even that has come out right on target — 72 years from the birth of globalization in 1950, which has created world peace and broke the back of communism.
The story of Trump lunging for the wheel appears to be total perjury. The Secret Service said they would testify, but were not called because Cassidy Hutchinson appears to be the new Amber Heard 2.0 as she is starting to be called all over the place. She wanted to work in Florida for Trump a few days later after January 6th, but Trump rejected her application. Is this payback? She better be very careful now for if the Republics take back the Hill, I would call her to the stand and dig into all those who coached her on how to testify and what to say. That is the way prosecutors handle their witnesses.
Anyone familiar with this tump of limo knows that it would be impossible for anyone sitting in the bank to move all the way forward and then reach over the driver and try to grab the wheel. She was coached on what to say and how to say it. This is more fake news orchestrated by Cheney just like her father did to create the Iraq War and hand billions of dollars to the very company he headed. I believe her father was corrupt and an evil person and she is proving that the apple does not fall too far from the tree. Cheney is now asking Democrats to change their registration to Republican so they can vote for her.
COMMENT: RE: Recent article on Cassidy Hutchenson’s hearsay testimony. I Martin, Thank you for all that you do. One thing to point out, Cheney is pretty much alone with her antics. The people of Wyoming DO NOT support what she has done. She has NOT acted as a Representative of Wyoming People, she is doing her own show. Our Primary elections will be held in August and you will see Cheney be dissolved. The polls are against her recently by 28 points. So no Wyoming doesn’t want to join California. We are of a different cloth.

REPLY: Thank you. Well, I normally stay clear of donating to politicians. However, I will be donating to whoever Trump endorses against this woman. If this was an honest mistake it is forgivable. But she is an attorney and she knows you CAN NOT introduce HEARSAY which is nothing but a rumor and if you ask Huctinsin, she cannot testify that what was said was true because she was not there.
Putting HEARSAY up like this is defamation of character and that is what is going on here because most Democrats will believe it simply because they hate Trump, which is what these people have been doing from the very start of his victory. This is NOTHING but propaganda to manipulate the Mid-Term Elections. I would haul Cheney into a real court and move for Conspiracy to commit treason against the United States. I for one would put her on trial for coaching witnesses and supporting perjury before Congress.
This has nothing to do with Trump anymore. This is about ending the propaganda from those who have occupied the Hill. Hopefully, by 2032 we get to start all over again. At least voting Republican will stop the WOKE nonsense and restore energy. However, they too will be cheering World War III simply because they will listen to the Neocons.

There it is folks. I hope people can see the natural arc of this self-fulfilling prophecy now. This also is why you should make sure you have potassium iodide tablets in your prep kit.
During a NATO press conference in Madrid [Transcript Here], today Joe Biden specifically attributed the upcoming global food shortage to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden was emphatic when responding to a question about oil costs, western nation energy development and the pending food shortage.
BIDEN…”I think there’s a lot of things we can do and we will do. But the bottom line is: Ultimately, the reason why gas prices are up is because of Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. The reason why the food crisis exist is because of Russia — Russia not allowing grain to get out of Ukraine.” WATCH:
Please understand… The food shortage is a done deal. We are beyond the point where current action could impact what is coming. The timeframe to mitigate any global food shortage is in the rear-view. Efforts to mitigate the food crisis should have been done months ago. Nothing was or is being done.
The Western Alliance now needs a scapegoat, a justification for a food crisis that is almost certain to surface. We do not know the scale of the shortage, but we do know global food supplies are going to be less than needed to feed the world population.
The direct cause of the food shortage is the Western government decision to prioritize climate change over food production. The Build Back Better climate change agenda has created massive disruption with energy products (biofuel, fertilizer, diesel, natural gas etc) which are critical for the efficient production of food. However, the western alliance cannot and will not take responsibility for the food crisis. Instead, as you are seeing above, their plan is to blame Russia.
Stopping Russia from starving the world will be the justification for a physical escalation of conflict between NATO and Russia. All of the signs and indicators point in this direction. None of the geopolitical or global economic signs point away from this direction. A NATO led war with Russia is not a matter of “if”, it is a question of “when?”
The NATO and western alliance that is currently engaging in the military buildup against Russia is the exact same alliance of governments’ who are chasing the climate change agenda at all costs.
I know it sounds outlandish, but the World Economic Forum multinational corporations that influence and manipulate geopolitical politics are the driving force for this needed war with Russia. Their holy grail of Climate Change policy, and the massive shift in global economic power that comes with executing the climate change agenda, is so consequential to the geopolitical world that such a massive move is needed.
More specifically, we already know there is going to be a global food shortage as a result of the new world order energy policy that underpins the Build Back Better agenda. We do not know the extent of the food deficit; however, we do know less food, perhaps much less food, is going to be available on a global basis.
We also know the majority voices, including the United States, within the NATO alliance have decided it is more important to follow the climate change policy than it is to feed people. [Africa Example] The U.K and Germany proposed trying to avoid further conflict by generating more food [source]. The U.S. and Canada have blocked the effort saying that maintaining the shift toward new western energy development is more important.
Maintaining the development of a new western energy system to drive economic activity is more urgent and important than the looming crisis of global famine. Accepting that reality, understanding the priorities as outlined, are the keys to understanding why the western alliance need the war with Russia {GO DEEP}.
I cannot emphasize this enough. If you do not accept the scale, scope and severity of the collective west’s entrenched commitment to climate change, you will be caught off-guard and not understand what is coming.
NATO and Western Govt, led by the policy of Joe Biden, have placed oil and gas sanctions against Russia. Those U.S-led Russian energy sanctions follow similar sanctions already in place against oil and gas from Iran and Venezuela.
Simultaneously the G7, Western Alliance will not allow Africa to develop their own use of natural gas to produce fertilizer to increase crop yield/harvest. [source] The G7 control food production in Africa by controlling the energy company investment needed to manufacture fertilizer. Again, as with the biofuel issue [source], the G7 and Western Alliance are prioritizing Climate Change energy policy over food production. Which will ultimately cause food shortages and famine.
However, within this forecast dynamic, now the “WEST” has an ideological problem. Sooner or later the issues will surface with massive interest. People around the world will figure this out. The absence of food will change things. People in all parts of the world will eventually get angry once they realize the absence of food is being caused by Western Govt prioritizing Climate Change over people.
Things will get intense. Things will get ugly. The Western “leaders” need a scapegoat, a way to focus the world’s anger away from them… and toward something else. Their advanced narrative messaging has already surfaced in the words of National Security Coordinator for Strategic Communication, John Kirby:
“President Putin is, no kidding, weaponizing food. Let’s just call it what it is: He’s weaponizing food. He’s got an essential blockade there in the Black Sea so that nothing can leave by sea — and that’s, of course, how Ukraine has historically gotten its grain to markets.” [source]
It is not coincidental that John Kirby was moved from Pentagon spokesperson to NSC strategic communications at the White House. Kirby’s prior move into the White House is as much related to what is coming as the 101st Airborne deployment today.
Notice how the looming shortage of food is being blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He’s weaponizing food,” Kirby repeats, this is a significant and telling advance narrative. What Kirby is outlining is the western government justification for the upcoming war against Russia.
The collective western leaders, positioned by the NATO talking points, are going to justify war against Russia as a needed fight to stop the global food crisis from worsening. They will claim it is Russian President Vladimir Putin who has disrupted the world energy production.
NATO and the western alliance will claim Putin is the reason why food fertilizer is in short supply. NATO will claim that Putin’s war in Ukraine is the source of the global energy, food and subsequent economic crisis. Just like Putin has been blamed for higher energy and gasoline prices, so too will Putin be blamed for starving millions of people.
The war against Russia will be justified as the war to stop Putin from creating mass starvation.
If you cannot see how this is being constructed through all of the sub-links, citations and sources above, I cannot lay this out more clearly.
A NATO and western alliance war with Russia is not a matter of “if“, it is now a question of when? Perhaps Vladimir Putin can outwit them somehow; but unless a massive number of people in the world begin to accurately see what is happening, no change in direction is likely.
Be proactive just in case. Buy potassium iodide pills now, they will not be available when you need them. Prepare for shortages in many essential products and most importantly, accept things as they are – NOT as you would wish them to be. The Build Back Better global energy agenda is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We’ve heard of the refugees and people fleeing Syria for a better life, but the media rarely reports how dire the situation has become. Reuters recently reported that 1.5% of the Syrian population is DEAD due to the ongoing war. Estimates state that around 83 people (18 who are innocent children) die every day in Syria. So why has everyone overlooked this decade-long deadly battle?
I mentioned in 2013 how former President Obama wanted to invade Syria. In 2009, Qatar proposed a pipeline that would have sent energy to Europe from Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Jordan. Then Syrian ruler Assad, backed by Russia, began negotiating for a different pipeline with Iran that would run gas to Europe from Iraq and Syria. Russia saw an economic advantage to having the latter pipeline as the US was too closely linked to Qatar, and therefore, the Iranian pipeline became a priority for Russia.
Putin met with Obama in 2015 to ask him to support Assad against ISIS. Obama objected as that was not economically beneficial for the US and would give Russia almost a monopoly over European energy. Obama began suddenly lifting sanctions on Iran to break the forming alliance. Russia entered Syria on the exact day the ECM predicted, and the US began backing Assad’s opposition even though that meant funding the terrorist group ISIS.
There have been no developments on the Iran–Iraq–Syria pipeline (known as the friendship pipeline) since 2013. The Syrian people have been left to rot. There is so much virtue signaling for Ukraine, but numerous nations invaded Syria and left their economy and infrastructure in shambles. No politician cares about the people; nearly all decisions are made based on money. The US lost this battle as Russia remains an energy powerhouse with a stronghold on the entire energy sector. Thanks, Obama.
French President Emmanuel Macron pulled US President Joe Biden aside at the G7 summit to explain a few basic facts. Biden has been demanding Middle Eastern nations ramp up their oil and gas production to help offset the energy crisis his administration has created. It’s ok to drill and take from the environment as long as it is not on US soil.
Journalist Michael Shellenberger tweeted part of the exchange between the US and French leaders: “I had a call with MBZ,” Macron said. (MBZ is the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.) “He told me two things. I’m at a maximum [production capacity] and [the] Saudis can increase by 150 [thousands barrels per day].”
Reporters were visibly in earshot when Macron spoke to Biden, which seems like a strategic move. It is a not-so-subtle effort to explain to the US, as the world is watching, that they have the power to ramp up production on its own without grappling for help from other nations.
It is very curious that Cassidy Hutchenson is testifying to what would be considered inadmissible evidence in a court of law. She has said that President Donald Trump was so irate that his Secret Service detail wouldn’t take him to the Capitol on Jan. 6 that he tried to grab the wheel of the armored limousine, then attacked one of the agents, according to testimony from a top former White House aide. This is HEARSAY and this political agenda of January 6th is a kangaroo court in its grand sense.
The entire object here is to claim January 6th was an armed insurrection so they can constitutionally prevent Trump from running again. This so-called “evidence” from Cassidy Hutchenson would NEVER be allowed in any court of law. The only person who could give such evidence would be the Secret Service agent. It must be someone with personal knowledge. Hutchenson has ruined her career for who would hire her fearing she could testify against her boss and makes up anything.
A proper constitutional investigation would be to take Hutchinson’s statement, identify the Secret Service agent, and then subpoena him to the stand. The fact that they never contacted the Secret Service raises a HUGE Red Flag that they are simply trying to poison the minds of everyone knowing that this is NOT acceptable evidence in a court of law.
This is like a disgruntled neighbor calling the cops saying they “think” you killed your spouse because they have not seen them for a week when they are merely out of town. I have deep concerns that now Hutchinson may have been offered something in return for this testimony and here we have Liz Cheney, whose father created the Iraq Way on fake information killing millions of people, and was responsible for the rise of ISIS, claiming falsely that “the case for prosecuting Donald Trump just got much stronger.” She is NOT stupid. She is an is an American attorney and therefore knows that HEARSAY is not acceptable in any court in the world. She is DELIBERATELY lying to the public to prevent Trump from ever running for President.
I hope Wyoming just moves West and joins California for hopefully they will secede from the Union and I will cheer – good riddance! This is not about the rule of law. This is about oppression. The Justice Department is trying to give people who were just there taking a selfie 5 years in prison.

In his opening monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson outlined a political list of DOJ and FBI targets over the past 18 months. Some of these examples are probably forgotten; however, when you see the examples highlighted with a timeline it really does showcase how our system of government has been weaponized by a corrupt Dept of Justice and corrupt FBI.
The part where the political dissidents are outlined begins at 05:39 (prompted) WATCH:

The U.S. Farm Bureau posts their calculated cost of the July 4th holiday food basket each year. This year the Farm Bureau is estimating a cost of $69.68 for ten people, that is an increase of 17% from 2021. [DATA HERE]
.
I’m not sure we could feed ten people for less than $70, but that’s the estimate from the Farm Bureau which aligns with the Consumer Price Index. Full data below.
(Farm Bureau) – […] Data for this year’s survey was collected by 176 volunteer shoppers across the country and in Puerto Rico, including Farm Bureau members and others.
Individual Prices, AFBF 2022 Summer Cookout
2 pounds of ground beef, $11.12 (+36%)
2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, $8.99 (+33%)
32 ounces of pork & beans, $2.53 (+33%)
3 pounds of center cut pork chops, $15.26 (+31%)
2.5 quarts of fresh-squeezed lemonade, $4.43 (+22%)
2.5 pounds of homemade potato salad, $3.27 (+19%)
8 hamburger buns, $1.93 (+16%)
Half-gallon of vanilla ice cream, $5.16 (+10%)
13-ounce bag of chocolate chip cookies, $4.31 (+7%)
In exactly 22 seconds during a late-night television appearance, Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showcased her lack of understanding how the United States government works. Ms. AOC literally gets the construct of our government reversed.
According to AOC it is “the responsibility of the president and congress to put the Supreme Court in check.”
Exactly the opposite is true.
It is the literal role and responsibility of the Supreme Court to check the constitutional validity of the legislative and executive branch. The supreme court exists, almost exclusively, to keep the president and congress in check. WATCH:
Ms. AOC could not be more wrong if she tried. However, this is a great example of how basic civics are unknown to some of the people in congress. Quite remarkable.

Quid-pro-Joe.
In March of this year Finland President Sauli Niinistö traveled to the White House [link]. In April reports first surfaced of Finland and Sweden joining the NATO alliance [link]. In mid-May of this year President Sauli Niinistö stated his decision for his country to join NATO was a matter of needing to choose sides, “what we see now, Europe, the world, is more divided. There’s not very much room for ‘non-aligned,’ in-between. So that was also what we are thinking,” he said [link]
The next day, May 16th, Turkish President Recep Erdogan, a preexisting NATO member, said Turkey would block the application of Sweden and Finland from joining NATO until their conditions and terms were accepted [link]. Two days later, May 19th, Joe Biden, flanked by Finnish President Sauli Niinisto and Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson (again at the White House), said the two countries would “make NATO stronger.” [link]
On Tuesday of this week Turkey removed their block of Sweden and Finland from joining NATO, and on Wednesday Joe Biden agreed to sell Turkey 40 Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits for its existing warplanes:
Newsmax – The Biden administration threw its support on Wednesday behind the potential sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, a day after Ankara lifted a veto of NATO membership for Finland and Sweden.
Celeste Wallander, Assistant Secretary for Defense for International Security Affairs at Pentagon, said strong Turkish defense capabilities would reinforce NATO’s defenses.
“The United States supports Turkey’s modernization of its fighter fleet because that is a contribution to NATO security and therefore American security,” she said. (read more)
Finland now represents an additional 1,340 km (830 mi) long direct border with Russia. The border runs mostly through uninhabited taiga forests and sparsely populated rural areas. Two weeks ago, June 9, 2020, Finland announced their “government plans to amend border legislation to allow the building of barriers on its eastern frontier with Russia, […] in a move to strengthen preparedness against hybrid threats amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” [link]
The NATO alliance has now done a great deal of logistical and strategic placement in advanced preparation for the next phase of the conflict with Russia. Notice where the emphasis is in the statements from Joe Biden and Recep Erdogan (emphasis mine):
MADRID – President Biden lavishly praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his “leadership” after the autocratic leader agreed to allow Finland and Sweden to join NATO in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Biden sat with Erdogan on the sidelines of the Atlantic alliance’s summit in Madrid Wednesday and thanked him for allowing the two Nordic states to join the bloc as well as working on ways to export Ukrainian grain in a manner that bypasses obstructions caused by the war.
“I want to particularly thank you for what you did putting together the situation with regard to Finland and Sweden, and all the incredible work you’re doing to try to get the grain out of Ukraine and Russia. I mean, you’re doing a great job,” Biden told Erdogan.
The Turkish leader, known for jailing reporters and dissidents, had threatened to block the alliance’s expansion over Sweden and Finland taking a purportedly weak stance against Kurdish activists whom the Ankara government calls “terrorists.” Erdogan, speaking through a translator Wednesday, said he hopes to broker exports of grain from Ukraine.
“The Russia and Ukraine conflict and the negative developments with regards to taking out of the grain from the Ukrainian ports, as well as the developments involving oil and natural gas, require all of us to work together in order to settle the disputes once and for all,” Erdogan said.
He added that “there are countries deprived of the grains, and we will open corridors, and we will allow them to have access to the grains that they so need.”
Biden concluded a media availability by saying to Erdogan, “It’s in large [part] because of your leadership. Thank you. I really mean it. Thank you.” (read more)
Keep in mind, every western media narrative from this Ukraine war is filled with propaganda.
Despite the western media and western government claims to the contrary, in all of the regions of the country under the control of the Ukrainian government the grain stores have been destroyed by the Ukraine military. Brave independent journalists on the ground in Ukraine have been providing the documentary evidence of Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF) destroying and burning grain warehouses and silos. [link]
Alina Lipp in the middle of mountains of corn burned by the UAF 🌽 tens of thousands of tons that could have fed thousands of people 😠 What is being said in the west again right now? Russia causes world hunger?! "Don't believe everything you read in the western press!" 2/5 pic.twitter.com/U4bWz1Zqty
Save the direct evidence videos if you want them. Now that CTH is showing the evidence of Ukraine government burning and destroying the grain these videos will disappear and this Twitter account will likely get removed.
❗️Yan Gagin shows the scale of the grain destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Mariupol. 4/5 pic.twitter.com/7IhMAefBtE
Ukraine military and government officials are destroying grain storage. At the same time fields are burning and the western media are blaming Russia for setting fire to farmland in an effort to destroy the grain harvest. Simultaneous to these conflicting claims, also keep in mind the New York Times has been reporting the CIA and Pentagon are controlling all military operations from secret operational headquarters in Kyiv [link].
Can you see what is happening?
Again, I repeat…. The NATO justification for war against Russia will come as an outcome of food shortages and western government blaming Vladimir Putin. Toward that end, it is in their interest to destroy food harvests from inside Ukraine in an effort to increase food shortages and support their justification. The CIA is operating there. Can you see what is happening?
NATO and the Western alliance need to position global food shortages on the shoulders of Vladimir Putin in order to justify their war with Russia as a war to stop global famine. Can you see what is happening?
Joe Biden and NATO now position Turkish President Recep Erdogan as the broker, the diplomat in the middle, who is trying to help feed the world by securing Ukrainian shipments of grain that are simultaneously being destroyed by Ukrainian military operations under the control of the CIA. Can you see what is happening?
It is not in Russia’s geopolitical or strategic interests to destroy Ukraine food supplies.
In order to maintain their geopolitical position and hold Climate Change energy policy as the priority, the western alliance must have a way to deflect the shortage of food away from their energy policy and toward something else. Can you see what is happening?
War is coming. It is not a question of “if”, it is a question of “when”?
Can you see what is happening?
Watch western media.
When they start really pushing Russia as the reason for world food shortages, we will be closer to the start of the war.
