What happens when higher debt levels hit higher interest rates? Asset prices fall. Combine that with stifled trade... and mass deportations... and we could be asking for a major depression.
Sometimes, reading Bill, you want to throw up your hands and say, “Oh God!”
Is the man a depressive. With all these chateaus, estates, farms and ranches and a schedule of Epicurean travel delights, does the man enjoy anything?
Recently, writing, I was endowed with a new perspective. You like to believe everything has meaning that there is evolution in the works of man. We are always looking for the promised land.
If we had done everything right, would everything be perfect. When I look around, I am astounded at the progress, the wonders of human ingenuity and effort. The other day, I contemplated the technology at our disposal and was amazed at the future we could have if economic freedom reigned.
But, if we were completely omniscient, completely moral, what would it all look like. It would be decidedly different; would we even like it.
I love life, the challenge. Nothing comes easy. The joys are exquisite.
It dawned on me… all this bullshit is unimportant. Life is individual, you do the best you can, you get rewarded.
Life is an individual test. You either pass or fail, are in The Kingdom of God or not; have “The peace the world cannot give” or not.
You need a little peace, Bill; something is missing, you hate everything.
Brother Xave, WANT to throw up my hands and declaim? I actually DO, over and over!
It wasn't always this way. Bonner was inherently and quietly optimistic and had a droll sense of understated irony in his exposition, which made the problems under discussion a little more bearable, but all that has given way to dogmatic and didactic preaching and moralizing, unbecoming in a purportedly economic newsletter nominally designed to help one through the maze. I am unable to account for the change in tone and purpose. I just know I'm struggling with it. Best always. PM
Yea, I like Bill; he has always been insightful and interesting. From time to time we all need a wake-up call.
The other day, in the gospel, a blind man was calling out to Jesus; making a nuisance of himself. Jesus asked, “What can I do for you.” “That I might see.”
Hit me hard, in my narcissism, I didn’t realize I was blind.
We all need a dose of truth from the source of truth; helps us see better.
I look back on my life and wonder, “why haven’t I suffered more?” It’s all in the mindset; no matter what occurs you can always decide to live in The Kingdom of God.
Glad a lesson was learned. The day was not "wasted". If we , as You have done seek with an open mind, things become clear. Day by day Thanks for the testimony.
I don’t know Paul, but I’m thinking that Bill is throwing off his dear readers with his new rhetoric to distract us from the horrible financial advice that has helped so many here have zero gains for years, inflation adjusted of course 🤔. Either way, many of us have used our own intelligence over anyone’s advice and made millions these last five years 😊. At the end of the day we only have ourselves to blame for our actions and this site is still very enjoyable with all our good fellow readers and their knowledge:) Going forward, I’m continuing the same BS(according to non crypto believers) I’ve been telling everyone here for the past five years, and hope you buy some Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana next downturn and you will be so happy in a few years 😊 or continue with gold and cash and be exactly where you were five years ago…
XN, That is an awesome post. There is no such thing as the right decision.Because every decision results in alternate potential alternatives. The best decision at this moment could be the worst possible decision today or a 100 years from now... Excellent perspective. I learned something thank you
This piece reads like a "Prologue" to an interesting novel about a dystopian planet that would have happened if Harris was elected. Bill should write this fiction as he practices writing fiction every day.
Worst case indeed. Back in the Cold War, we still had many in the congress and government who were veterans of WWII and the Korean War, and they knew how awful and senseless it could be. Now even the Vietnam vets are retired or close to it, and the people calling the shots have no personal experience with how bad it could get, even for them personally. Thus, they seem willing to escalate conflicts that they should be doing all in their power to cool down, apparently under the impression that no one would ever really dare to stand up to the US, or that if they did, that we might actually lose. They seem to be ignorant of history, and proud of their ignorance!
Well said Gordon. Best President we had was Eisenhower. I think he stopped the fighting in Korea (not sure but I think so) and got the Armistice signed. He and Kennedy (both veterans) also saw how dangerous the military industrial complex and our intelligence agencies were becoming to world peace. Ike even warned us all as he left office to beware the military industrial complex. The global elites and the military industrial complex install their stooges (bushes, obama, biden) to start wars for their profit. I am sure they despise Trump because he is such a wild card that they can't control with their swamp.
Bob, there was a cease-fire, but never an official armistice. On top of that, we threw away all hope of actual victory (we are STILL bogged down in Korea, and North Korea still retains the USS Pueblo as a war trophy), when small-minded, big-ego Truman (D) canned Douglas MacArthur(R), because he, Truman, knew that victory would make MacArthur politically more popular than he. Stupidity is always compounded by vanity. And before we could get Korea properly put to bed, we started in Viet Nam. Politically, we've been incompetent a long time. Best always. PM
Why is everyone so resistantly cheerful and so down on Bill Bonner? He makes a pretty good case. Saying what you think you see is being realistic, not depressive. You do subscribe and you read him daily.
Ellen, it's called "bait and switch". Go back and read the initial issues of BPR where the aims, purposes, and ideas of the enterprise were discussed and compare those to what we have today, and I think you will understand. To say Mr. Bonner has gotten off track is an understatement. I did always appreciate Mr. Bonner's ability to understand cycles and trends, and his personal insight and experience made his writings, at least to me, valuable. Now, he seems to think his publication and its paying subscribers are his captive audience who must bear and indulge his inner proclivities. There, I said it. Best always. PM
Paul, I think Bill’s just frustrated because it’s been over two years and his gypsy wagon isn’t finished! And now he has to pay his neighbors to finish it.
Pm . Just maybe , I say just maybe He would change his " tune" if things changed for the positive. It reminds of a story I read a little ways back in time, My time. A new Preacher was installed in the church . He gave His sermon. Elders were appreciative . Next Sunday came along and He gave the same sermon. , Then the 3rd Sunday He again gave the same sermon. The elders confronted the "new" preacher and asked Him why the same sermon. Well has the congregation changed?
I wonder about this almost every day. I have also found some substackers repetitive or simply misguided (by my way of thinking). Me secret weapon is that I stop reading them.
I believe we have a better chance of staying out of war with Trump and Rubio, then we do with Biden(?) and Blinken. This is based history, 2016-2020. Put Iran on ice, and Isreal goes back to a defensive stance immediately. Follow the money. We keep talking about deportation and tariffs. Immediate deportation of the bad element is required of the President in order to protect American citizens, what Biden and Mayorkas allowed will go down in American history, as a disaster and a disgrace. Deportation creates leverage with Mexico that if they cannot stop the drugs and thugs coming into this country, then we will. No aid and no trade until they are fully on board. If we have to use targeted raids, drones, and intelligence on their soil, then so be it. As far as tariffs, they can also be used for leverage, with China, Brics, Europe, etc. Trump is a businessman, Biden and Deep State are murderers and thugs, who profit off of the non-elites. Trump will use all of the tools in his bag, in an effort, to fix this mess. It is not going to be easy, and the fight will be all up hill, but if he is willing fight, why not rally with him. The empty shell that was in the White House for the last four years did nothing for Americans or America.
BN:Yes Trump is a business man but not always an honest one. What tools in his bag will he use to fix any messes? Obviously, you haven’t watched all his trials and 34 convictions and filed six bankruptcies. That’s not my idea of a great President. Maybe yours but not mine.
Yes Bill, "We’ve looked at the best case... and some ‘worse cases.’ Now we focus on the worst-case scenario — an apocalyptic combination of inflation, depression... and war."
"How did it happen" "Why" they wondered? Well there is no "Wondering" here at all. The American people know that the plandemic was created to control the worlds people, kill off millions of social security recipients, poison as many ignorant with a fake vaccine and get Trump out of office. The globolist cartel were very successful with their agenda and the "worst-case scenario with Biden stealing the election came to be....Now we live with the results, and the world pays the price....so no more wondering is necessary...
SL: What a bunch of B.S. Do your homework! The pandemic was created to control the worlds people?? Who knows?? Hope you didn’t follow TRump’s advice of injecting bleach for a Covid cure. Everyone should know that disinfectants are hazardous and can be poisonous if consumed; It might kill the virus but it most certainly will also kill you. Biden won the election. The votes were counted many times. Trump was and is a terrible loser.
During an April 23, 2020, coronavirus press briefing, Donald Trump speculated about the potential use of disinfectants to treat COVID-19. He wondered aloud if disinfectants, which can kill the virus on surfaces, could be used inside the human body to combat the virus. Trump did not explicitly recommend ingesting or injecting bleach, but his comments led to widespread confusion and concern
If by "confusion and concern" you mean Lying and Gaslighting, then ok - confusion and concern it is.
And Dear Dorothy is Exhibit A of all the weak-minded, indoctrinated FOOLS who bought the "media" lie completely because they only can believe negative things about Trump....
SE: No, I have relatives that are Rep., and even they were surprised at Trump’s comments. By the way, I can’t find too many positive things about Mr. Trump…Sorry..Not Sorry.
KMB: Chlorine Dioxide is on the Hazardous Substance list. because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH and a few others. This chemical is on the Special Health Hazard Substance list because it is Flammable and Reactive. Don’t think I would want to try it.
SE/Mark : You would have to be an idiot to even suggest that. There are people like you that believe almost anything Trump says Mr. SE. Of course Trump changed his tune later. Even the British Co., Lysol issued an obvious-sounding admonition: Under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered to the human body. Later, one of Trump’s staff said that it was an offhand remark taken out of context and that Trump himself now claims was meant sarcastically. Trump made a few more suggestions: Possibly hitting the body with UV light. Anyway, a lot more remarks were made But bottom line Trump didn’t know what he was talking about…Right Mark?
I copied and pasted the facts from Chat. It's undeniable he never said to ingest or inject bleach. If you and others took it that way, so be it, but that doesn't change the facts. Nowhere does it say he "suggested" it either. I do wonder how colossally, insipidly stupid one would have to be to take that thought to heart. I'm sure Darwin is getting a good laugh about now. And since you know nothing about me nor how I think, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't use "people like you" when referring to me. As per PM, best always. MF
Mark: 4-24-20 Mark it was televised about Trump on several topics about the possibilities of an ”injection” of disinfectant in a person infected with the coronavirus at the white House. Trump then said of his comments about injections of disinfections: I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters. Sure!! By the way, I was not saying, “people like you” to you. That’s why I put SE’s name in Not Yours.
He says we won’t have a workforce. I guess he means he’ll have to be without his mowers and leaf blowers. He’s out of touch with reality. He is, after all, MEGA RICH. No idea about the reality of everyday Americans.
Babies, babies, We need more babies! Hey! I didn't get a harumf Outta that guy.! Speaking of drones they currently mow my lawn and pick up the leaves. Vacuum too.
Yeah, but the quality and attention to detail just ain't there. Yet, anyway.
I speak from experience as I have the ai Lawn Equipment Industry sales force knocking on my door weekly to try out their latest-and-greatest on my client properties. I'm familiar with the State of the Art, it's not quite ready for Primetime.
Give it some time and yes, they will put the human workforce out of business on the Horticulture Maintenance side of things...
All people over 50 years go into combat… men and women. Why should young men go to war … they haven’t lived long enough? Perhaps then the warmongers will reconsider.
No and Yes . The war mongers should be at the head of the invasion. Not sitting at home in their Comfy lazy boys. By this I mean that they should have bullets flying past their heads. Then they would not be so quick to send Men and Women to fight non sensical wars. They and their children right next to them.
Although what you write will probably happen, I also believe that as an elitist, it is your job to spread despair and, therefore, create a hopeless malaise that will make it easier for the Elites to keep their power. I am sure you are having fun because if you really wanted to make a difference and were sure of global conflagration, you would be all over the communication world and in as many faces as your money could afford! You don't have much time left, so why don't you help us out?
Ah, Bill. I think you could write a good apocalyptic dystopian Sci-Fi novel and make it interesting. Of course, it would be a work of fiction like too many of your columns. Yes, I know - you are presenting a worst-case scenario, and I suppose anything is plausible. We can all fantasize and make things up, but I didn't sign up for make-believe. Thankfully we have Denning and Dyson to pull us back to reality. More to come on Monday, you say. "Spare me" comes to mind, but I must admit I am curious about what you can make up out of whole cloth.
Bill is just blowing off steam because he tried to do what DOGE is about to try back in the 1969’s. His Herculean efforts then failed at the Supremo Court and my guess is that he knows full well that DOGE will meet the same fate!
Porter Stansberry is predicting Civil War between the 16% paying all the Taxes vs. the rest of our brethren that are taking from the Government. The facts clearly show that promised lawful benefits are equal to $220T and the resources necessary to fulfill these guarantees are impossible…. Therefore, as Bill states…. It’s going to require inflation rates of 50% to close the monetary gap!
Back in 2013, Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former U.S. President George W. Bush, secured approximately 4,000 acres of land in Uruguay for the Bush family.
Good job Barbara! The land is terra firma of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest freshwater aquifers in the world, spanning parts of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. I don’t know whether or not Barbara sealed the deal with mineral and/or water rights related to this aquifer; though that is significant because they pertain to access to a vital resource that is crucial for both agricultural and personal use.
Personally, I am not sure my young bride is up for relocating to a ranchette in the Uruguay neighborhood of POTUS #43; though the most recent launch-fest of hypersonic ICBMs in the northern hemisphere sure helps make the case on the “features and benefits”.
I already did go for it Dorothy. My roots are firmly planted in the U.S. of A.
There might be a snowballs chance in hell for a nuclear fiasco. Here’s the deal. There is a company called Yuzhmash which built missile parts and missiles for Soviets and post-Soviets. It is in the Ukraine. The company makes replacement parts for aging missiles. Guess who they do NOT sell missiles or parts to?
The facilities for major [Russian] warhead maintenance were all located in Ukraine. But even IF the Russian hierarchy were competent AND diligent in service and maintenance, none of their warheads could have seen major maintenance since 2014 when Ukraine cut them off. Russia tried building their own nuclear ballistic missile, the Satan II. So far out of 5 test flights, 4 have exploded.
There are four (4) things we can do with “risk”: accept it, ignore it, mitigate it, transfer it.
Personally, the Internal Revenue Service is a greater risk to me than ICBMs.
GF: Your in good company. Once the IRS gets you on their radar watch out. It took me two years to get them off my back even when I sent them proof several times.
That's fine for a fictional character. We are so taken with Capt. Kirk and Wm. Shatner's portrayal of him that we have lost sight of the fact that the character doesn't exist and his idea is impossible. Reality can't be changed through force of will or character flaw. Best always. PM
Every year there should be a lottery in Israel and 1200 women, girls, children and babies, with the odd man or two, should be drawn out and have to stand on the border with Gaza and await their fate. This should appease Hamas and Hezbollah. and all the pro Palestinian supporters in the universities, and free Netanyahu from being a war criminal, instead getting the Nobel peace prize. Think of the lives it would save [only 1200 dead per year] and Bill can then devote his time to writing about economics.
Unacceptable...not amusing and truly horrifying in view of the October 2023 attacks on Israeli’s and what was done to them, including babies, children, women and a some men.
This whole narrative is depressing. The world has enough problems without envisioning a hopeless worst case scenario. We know that we face a dangerous unpredictable future both collectively and individually, it has always been thus. Whether Trump will succeed in turning back the warmongers in the deep state remains to be seen, but we all hope that God saved his life for such a time as this and that he will turn back the tide of evil in our own country and the world. Please pray for Trump and his team.

Bill is always consistent about one thing. His Anti-semitism is his go to topic.

Didn’t take over, just took on and failed whatever it was that inspired their stupidity. Oh, yeah, they were playing dominos. And playing badly.
There was never an armistice signed after Korea, only a cease fire.
Thanks
I suspect Trump will have his own version of the swamp We shall see.
He did last time with a lot of RINOs and deep state stooges like chris wray. Hopefully he learned from that mistake.
Yes.. unfortunately 🥲 true

SL: What a bunch of B.S. Do your homework! The pandemic was created to control the worlds people?? Who knows?? Hope you didn’t follow TRump’s advice of injecting bleach for a Covid cure. Everyone should know that disinfectants are hazardous and can be poisonous if consumed; It might kill the virus but it most certainly will also kill you. Biden won the election.

You are misinformed From Chat GPT:
What did trump say about taking bleach?
During an April 23, 2020, coronavirus press briefing, Donald Trump speculated about the potential use of disinfectants to treat COVID-19.

There is a “disinfectant” you can drink. Chlorine Dioxide. And it has excellent results if you’ll go outside of google’s reach to study it.
KMB: Chlorine Dioxide is on the Hazardous Substance list. because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH and a few others. This chemical is on the Special Health Hazard Substance list because it is Flammable and Reactive. Don’t think I would want to try it.

I guess Bill forgot to add in the gaslighting about HOW deportations would contribute to his scary-story "worst case scenario."
And he seemed so committed to squeezing that in at the beginning...
He says we won’t have a workforce. I guess he means he’ll have to be without his mowers and leaf blowers. He’s out of touch with reality. He is, after all, MEGA RICH. No idea about the reality of everyday Americans.
Babies, babies, We need more babies! Hey! I didn't get a harumf Outta that guy.! Speaking of drones they currently mow my lawn and pick up the leaves. Vacuum too.
Yeah, but the quality and attention to detail just ain't there. Yet, anyway.
I speak from experience as I have the ai Lawn Equipment Industry sales force knocking on my door weekly to try out their latest-and-greatest on my client properties. I'm familiar with the State of the Art, it's not quite ready for Primetime.
Give it some time and yes, they will put the human workforce out of business on the Horticulture Maintenance side of things...
Bill, you are sooooo forgetful. MAN, never changes, history repeats. Why are you so compelled to repeat your drivel every five minutes?
RALPH W.
Respectfully Ralph, is it possible you've answered your own question? "MAN, never changes, history repeats."
Want to end wars?
International rules of engagement no. 1
All people over 50 years go into combat… men and women. Why should young men go to war … they haven’t lived long enough? Perhaps then the warmongers will reconsider.
No and Yes . The war mongers should be at the head of the invasion. Not sitting at home in their Comfy lazy boys. By this I mean that they should have bullets flying past their heads. Then they would not be so quick to send Men and Women to fight non sensical wars. They and their children right next to them.
Yes! That’s what I said.
As in days of yore, demand the kings, sycophants, and their children lead the charge. If you want war, then you fight it.
Although what you write will probably happen, I also believe that as an elitist, it is your job to spread despair and, therefore, create a hopeless malaise that will make it easier for the Elites to keep their power. I am sure you are having fun because if you really wanted to make a difference and were sure of global conflagration, you would be all over the communication world and in as many faces as your money could afford! You don't have much time left, so why don't you help us out?
Ah, Bill. I think you could write a good apocalyptic dystopian Sci-Fi novel and make it interesting. Of course, it would be a work of fiction like too many of your columns. Yes, I know - you are presenting a worst-case scenario, and I suppose anything is plausible. We can all fantasize and make things up, but I didn't sign up for make-believe. Thankfully we have Denning and Dyson to pull us back to reality. More to come on Monday, you say. "Spare me" comes to mind, but I must admit I am curious about what you can make up out of whole cloth.
Bill is just blowing off steam because he tried to do what DOGE is about to try back in the 1969’s. His Herculean efforts then failed at the Supremo Court and my guess is that he knows full well that DOGE will meet the same fate!
Porter Stansberry is predicting Civil War between the 16% paying all the Taxes vs. the rest of our brethren that are taking from the Government. The facts clearly show that promised lawful benefits are equal to $220T and the resources necessary to fulfill these guarantees are impossible…. Therefore, as Bill states…. It’s going to require inflation rates of 50% to close the monetary gap!
Back in 2013, Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former U.S. President George W. Bush, secured approximately 4,000 acres of land in Uruguay for the Bush family.
Good job Barbara! The land is terra firma of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest freshwater aquifers in the world, spanning parts of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. I don’t know whether or not Barbara sealed the deal with mineral and/or water rights related to this aquifer; though that is significant because they pertain to access to a vital resource that is crucial for both agricultural and personal use.
Personally, I am not sure my young bride is up for relocating to a ranchette in the Uruguay neighborhood of POTUS #43; though the most recent launch-fest of hypersonic ICBMs in the northern hemisphere sure helps make the case on the “features and benefits”.
GF: Go for it!
I already did go for it Dorothy. My roots are firmly planted in the U.S. of A.
There might be a snowballs chance in hell for a nuclear fiasco. Here’s the deal. There is a company called Yuzhmash which built missile parts and missiles for Soviets and post-Soviets. It is in the Ukraine. The company makes replacement parts for aging missiles. Guess who they do NOT sell missiles or parts to?
The facilities for major [Russian] warhead maintenance were all located in Ukraine. But even IF the Russian hierarchy were competent AND diligent in service and maintenance, none of their warheads could have seen major maintenance since 2014 when Ukraine cut them off. Russia tried building their own nuclear ballistic missile, the Satan II. So far out of 5 test flights, 4 have exploded.
There are four (4) things we can do with “risk”: accept it, ignore it, mitigate it, transfer it.
Personally, the Internal Revenue Service is a greater risk to me than ICBMs.

GF: Your in good company. Once the IRS gets you on their radar watch out. It took me two years to get them off my back even when I sent them proof several times.

That's fine for a fictional character. We are so taken with Capt. Kirk and Wm. Shatner's portrayal of him that we have lost sight of the fact that the character doesn't exist and his idea is impossible. Reality can't be changed through force of will or character flaw. Best always. PM
I have a solution for Israel.
Every year there should be a lottery in Israel and 1200 women, girls, children and babies, with the odd man or two, should be drawn out and have to stand on the border with Gaza and await their fate. This should appease Hamas and Hezbollah. and all the pro Palestinian supporters in the universities, and free Netanyahu from being a war criminal, instead getting the Nobel peace prize. Think of the lives it would save [only 1200 dead per year] and Bill can then devote his time to writing about economics.
Unacceptable...not amusing and truly horrifying in view of the October 2023 attacks on Israeli’s and what was done to them, including babies, children, women and a some men.
This whole narrative is depressing. The world has enough problems without envisioning a hopeless worst case scenario. We know that we face a dangerous unpredictable future both collectively and individually, it has always been thus. Whether Trump will succeed in turning back the warmongers in the deep state remains to be seen, but we all hope that God saved his life for such a time as this and that he will turn back the tide of evil in our own country and the world. Please pray for Trump and his team.
As usual, the comments are the entertainment!
