On the recent comments for Mr. Bonner’s “The Wolf Awakens”, Mr. Altschule posted:
“you're right Hamas won't on their own but the 'Black Kites' of Persia are at full alert and they have 50% of the US war fleet bottled up in the smallest sea battle area of the Med ..”
This got me thinking – could that potentially tragic strategic blunder be 𝗕𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, courtesy of the objective TRAITORS installed in our “government” and “Military”?
Well, let's review -
1. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at historic LOWS.
2. We are short on Artillery Rounds, Ammunition and many other War Materials, cause “Muh Ukraine.”
3. Military Recruitment levels are at all-time low’s and have been for several years. Our current “military” leadership is more worried about Climate Change, Transgenderism and White Supremacy than they are about building quality, effective soldiers. O’blowme famously purged most (if not all) of the Old School Military Officer Corps that at least knew how to conduct warfare, if not exactly how to win. No telling what is in place now, nor how effective they will be at their jobs - but a review of published accounts has things not looking good.
4. HUNDREDS of Domestic Food Processing Plants have been destroyed or otherwise made inoperable over the last 3 years, neatly coinciding with TraitorJoe’s installed term of “service.”
5. During this same period, acres and acres (in the thousands) of Productive Farmland have been purchased by non-farming entities and taken out of service, left fallow.
6. A “Spy Ballon” was allowed to traverse our Country 𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 (the long way), unmolested until all information had been gathered and transmitted.
6. The “media”, “higher education” and electronic “culture” has succeeded in fostering more strife and division among our Citizens than at any time in our History. Americans no longer help other Americans in distress – they film it instead, and think they are the better for it.
I’m sure the intelligent people here can add validly alarming points to this admittedly short list. When you look at our Reality from a not-unreasonable angle, it appears we are being set up for destruction.
Yikes!! We might be lucky if a financial collapse is the 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 thing that befalls us in the next few years, or even months…
Yes brother, extremely well planned demolition of these United States of America...or the Banana Republic of America. It’s just mind boggling how fast it happened 🤔
Agree, it started with Woodrow Wilson, his charge to his number two Roosevelt, to come up with a plan to invade every Nation in Europe. Coupled with the creation of the IRS and the Federal Reserve Bank. This is all it really takes to conquer a nation, the rest is just history.

Not only is Biden always wrong, he's always inept, as is our military leadership. Our war record for the last 50 yrs is abysmal.
The only other elephant in the room is the upcoming election. Likely a shitshow where Biden backs out to defer to Michelle, Trump runs away with the election (if only he would pull RFK or Gabbard in as VP!) and the follow-on civil war.
A1968 level dem convention where Biden gets tossed and riots break out on the floor would be great theater. And we are heading back to those days of 1968-1970 faster than a carrier in the Persian gulf!
BT: Biden is not always wrong. Maybe that because of Trumps disastrous presidency that you are thinking ever President should do stupid things like Trump did and still trying to do. We will never head back to '68 -70...what's your point? The only thing I can think of is that was when Marin L. King was assassinated in Memphis Tenn. and there were more than 100 cities rioting. Congress passed additional civil rights legislation.
TAX BREAKS for his rich mates, pimping his daughter son in-law and anyone else on his payroll, slimy deals with buddies to get or steal what he wants, inflate his wallet/value almost as big as his orange buffoon hair doo .. cut to the chase just read his sister and aunt story about a kid abused by his magnanimous lying father so like father like son eh .. any more dilatants in his closet and even the russian whore's won't piss on him .. that's about it ..
The "tax breaks" were realized throughout all the brackets so you whiff on that one. And, all the other things you mentioned are either total fabrications or nothing that had even one iota of impact on anyone. It must suck to go through life with so much jealously and hate.
BT: There was also the assassination of RFK by Sirhan Sirhan or aleast that was what was reported. I think there was Moon travel (Apollo 8). That period of time was a busy busy.
Hey Star. This sounds exactly like Pearl Harbor. The good ships out to see all the mediocre or the harbor to be destroyed. The next day we were involved in a war that the country did not want. It’s all by design.
You nailed it Starboard. Plus a huge portion of our navy sitting within easy reach of the communist consortium. That's where I have to retract my statement that Joe Biden is actually pretty smart because he didn't buy into this shit till he was about to die anyway.
just saw the non-edited version of the Biden - Netyahoo press conference .. for the first time I saw poor old gramps Biden actually having trouble even reading his 'prompt' cards and most of what he said made absolutely NO sense .. yes I think that its certainly time he steps back form daily duties and hands over to his wife Jill to see out his term .. even if he was jet lagged, as I would be after all the miles he's clocked this past week I think he need to retire gracefully .. in the meantime the howdy Netanyahoo show goes on and Iran is warming up their nice new nuclear drones .. should just make it to the holy centre of earth!
Don't feel sorry for him. Last count he is worth $124+ million - all on a Senator, VP and "presidential" salary.
Hmmm. I'm sure the CCP, Ukrainians, Romanians, Russians, etc., etc. gave the traitor and his family (including several GRAND KIDS) millions because he is such a great guy.
SE: Hear you go again making up information you would like to have happened. #4. The domestic Food Processing Plants, Who destroyed them and when ...names please. 5. The selling of land has been going for years. 6. Blame the last 10-15 years for that. 6. Spy Ballon- We waited until it has over water before shooting it down. They checked the ballon and there was nothing that would or could transmit. Sorry I should also address # 2. Blame the companies who make the products. The President doesn't tell them how much and what to make. AS a matter of fact, no President that I know of has been able to do that. All the gun enthusiast won't allow it. They love their guns.
The Biden Administration has already admitted (after they initially lied) that the Chinese balloon transmitted all sorts of data back to the CCP. Waiting until it was over water was ludicrous. They had myriad opportunities when it entered U.S. airspace to the West of Alaska, over uninhabited areas of Alaska, Montana, etc. etc. They are incompetent ideologues that didn't want to annoy their Chinese comrades. That's how it works when we have a bought and paid for president.
DJ: You make a lot of negative accusations. Bought and paid for President??? by whom??? . I watch a lot of news and I never saw or heard of any retractions from Biden about the balloon or it's contents. It was your wonderful president (worst) Trump who thought Putin and Xi Jinping were just great leaders not Biden. I think you and SE are delusional and you seem to getting worse..You feed each other. It's sad that you think you have to demean people to get you views known.
Hundreds of SAR's, bank records, direct testimony from Bobilinski and Archer (with more to come), the treasure trove of evidence that is the hard drive from Hunter's laptop equals a bought and paid for president (by the CCP). I don't expect you to ever see it or admit it, but history will bear out what Biden and his family have done.
As for the balloon, our government absolutely confirmed that the Chinese harvested a ton of data from it before it was shot down. Do a little research and you might educate yourself. I typed "data transmitted by Chinese Spy Balloon" and got this from NBC News, not exactly a "right-wing news outlet":
DJ: No that was not demeaning, but you could have relaid this information instead of typing what you did originally. As far as Hunter's problem..we are still waiting for the evidence that Joe had anything to do with it. Just because Trump is a crook doesn't mean Joe is.
Why bother Dottie? You prove over and over that you are not interested in FACTS NOR EVIDENCE, and you rarely will click a link we provide because you know it will go against your "conditioning". I have little doubt that if you could have things YOUR way, contrary evidence would not even be allowed to be posted. Can't have the sheep waking up under ANY circumstances. How very pathetic and un-American.
Also, I noticed you didn't address the evidence in the link provided by Dave J, nor did you admit you were WRONG. Typical sh*tlib behavior my dear...
I was going to reply with a "Baaaaaa-aaaaah", which surely you would understand - but I think your comments are sufficient to let the world unequivocally know your level of ignorance and indoctrination. Though please, keep posting. You are completely entitled to your opinions (but not your own set of Facts), and I am sincerely glad you are in the mix on these boards.
SE: Thank you.... sweetheart! The same to you. Oh, and good night to Davey. On a more serious note: Baaaaaa-aaah to you. If only you were as smart as you think you are, but unfortunately you are not.
We only slap down people that make vapid, inane and factually false comments. We are equal opportunity stewards of this board and don't care what exists between people's legs. It's what's between the ears that matters and if what's between yours is vacuous then it's best to read, but not write on here.
Maybe a piece on brokerage and financial institutional stability, like how to know which ones are more stable than others would be nice. BPR’s perspective on how to figure this out would be worthwhile. Insurance companies, banks, and so on are rated by Weiss Ratings, which I trust. It is one thing to have money free to be moved around into different assets like gold or XOP or cash. But, many have retirement accounts that can’t be moved. Knowing that risk could make a difference in whether you change jobs or keep plugging on.
I agree we just can't sell all our assets to buy gold et cetera. I have been in on the tankers and other recommended stocks. I'd be crushed by taxes if I sold everything to go in maximum safety mode On existing assets, I have what I have. I have many checking accounts that are above guaranteed insurance level. Wouldn't even make one day's pay roll. Should I get twenty new banks to make sure i'm covered on all that cash?
Americans and their first world problems...sheesh.
I can commiserate, though. The Rolls is in the shop, the wife has the Maybach, leaving me stuck with the Lambo. How am I going to fit my golf clubs in that?
I'll be attending a presentation from X-energy's CEO J. Clay Sell to learn more about Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMR). X-energy is considering going public. Here's the link to register:
As a long time contingency planning guy, in very interested to learn how they make SMRs impervious to being used as a weapon (dirty bomb, etc). Other questions we may have?
All the new reactor designs are supposed to make overload/meltdown impossible. So easy even a caveman could run it. Real world? Who knows. But engineers do learn from their past mistakes. Usually.
I think Bill's description of the money system is simple and it is the crux of the entire edifice. It is the cause of all the weirdness in leadership. It is the crux of the reason for all the weirdness of stock price rise, of government expenditure, everything we've been seeing and struggling to understand. These clowns are desperate to retain power because as their expenditures of other people's money comes to an end society isn't going to like these clowns and their lies won't be easily forgotten.
These clowns figured out some many cockamamie schemes to make money and scare and control us many think that's simply not possible. It's all a bunch of conspiracy theories the working / saving man has come up with to explain what the hell is going on. In fact I would go so far as to claim Joe Biden is actually pretty smart because, ... drum roll please... he waited till he was senile before he bought into all this nonsense. In other words he's about to die no matter what happens.
The primary reason I like Bill Bonner's statements is because the whole nine yards, the 40 years of lower rates is fully explained in just those few paragraphs. I had to spend 14 years full time study to get through all the financial jargon and intentional complexity the clowns constantly through at society, all the people like Stephanie Kelton, Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, Alan Greenspan, Bill Gates all the climate change professors, the WEF, WHO, the Nobel prize, etc. that the elite hired to insure a "truth" upon all the whole huge stack of stinking nonsense. But when it all comes down to their free money drying up the entire scheme will disappear in bankruptcy, except maybe for a war they pull off as their last resort to hold power.
Another thing to keep in mind is the HUGE NatGas / Oil field ("Leviathan") discovered a few years ago and just recently has seen drilling activities. The main beneficiaries of off-coast production are; Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and to a lesser degree, Israel and Egypt. When and if Israel takes over Gaza and possibly norther Palestine, it's coffers will triple as Israel would then control approximately half of the Leviathan field.
Just sayin'...we all know this couldn't be money motivated, right?
Why Mark, I'm surprised at you. There is absolutely no proof of conspiracy among the executives at those companies, well, besides that at least two graduated together from the same college same year same semester, a third grew up down the street from another one, two of the wives became BFFs through a recent ZOOM Mediterranean cooking class, six of the total execs from all 3 companies are now related through marriage, four of the various kids played on the same Gaza Cricket Team, five of the executive group all love to fly fish in northern Montana every late spring, and, finally, 8 of the execs each have a dog named "Mo", with 3 cats named Tabir mixed into the group.
Curious what maximum safety mode means for the trade of the decade? Stay in it or go completely into money markets, that seems to be about as maximum as you can get for now
B Bonner much better than politics BB ! stick to what you know and let the hounds chase all them hares .. while the few of us keep our eyes peeled for some tasty birds/shares that might fly out of the chaos ..!
Bill, thank you for stepping down from the anchor desk at MSNBC today and reentering the business world. Excellent column today. My only smallest criticism is your comparison of housing starts this year with 1959. This doesn't give any useful information unless you know what the housing starts were in 1959 and all the years in-between. And yes, I assume housing starts in 1959 were lower, but don't know by how much, never mind about housing starts in the 1980's, 90s, etc.
I am thinking I will see the coming credit crisis, whether I want to see it or not.
It has become obvious that the lime in the sand was when the long-term interest rate crossed over its 40-year downtrend line. That was our early-warning sign. Right now, those that are groaning and crying are the ones that missed the sign.
As someone more well-known than me (probably my ophthalmologist) once said, "Hindsight's 20/20." Well, now I can see clearly what he meant.

Another thing to keep in mind is the HUGE NatGas / Oil field ("Leviathan") discovered a few years ago and just recently has seen drilling activities. The main beneficiaries of off-coast production are; Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and to a lesser degree, Israel and Egypt. When and if Israel takes over Gaza and possibly norther Palestine, it's coffers will triple as Israel would then control approximately half of the Leviathan field.
Just sayin'...we all know this couldn't be money motivated, right?
Why Mark, I'm surprised at you. There is absolutely no proof of conspiracy among the executives at those companies, well, besides that at least two graduated together from the same college same year same semester, a third grew up down the street from another one, two of the wives became BFFs through a recent ZOOM Mediterranean cooking class, six of the total execs from all 3 companies are now related through marriage, four of the various kids played on the same Gaza Cricket Team, five of the executive group all love to fly fish in northern Montana every late spring, and, finally, 8 of the execs each have a dog named "Mo", with 3 cats named Tabir mixed into the group.
You are SUCH the conspiracy theorist, brother...
Well said. Clear, concise and direct. We the sheeple need it reiterated now and then.
Curious what maximum safety mode means for the trade of the decade? Stay in it or go completely into money markets, that seems to be about as maximum as you can get for now
Not to be giving advice, but this was mentioned as the Trade of the Decade. Based upon Bill's history with these, the intent is to hold through 2030.
We have been on Maximum Safety Mode for some time now.
Is it time to ask the Next Why?
i.e. Why haven't the "Wheels Fallen Off"
In spite of all of the indicators showing that the financial environment should have fallen apart, it hasn't.
What/Who is keeping the "wheel nuts" screwed on
Why is this so?
I don't have time to keep going over and over this with you. I've explained what I needed to. Take it or leave it. Good-by.
B Bonner much better than politics BB ! stick to what you know and let the hounds chase all them hares .. while the few of us keep our eyes peeled for some tasty birds/shares that might fly out of the chaos ..!
Bill, thank you for stepping down from the anchor desk at MSNBC today and reentering the business world. Excellent column today. My only smallest criticism is your comparison of housing starts this year with 1959. This doesn't give any useful information unless you know what the housing starts were in 1959 and all the years in-between. And yes, I assume housing starts in 1959 were lower, but don't know by how much, never mind about housing starts in the 1980's, 90s, etc.
Pretty sure it was a rhetorical tool populati'm guessing has doubled since then .
I am thinking I will see the coming credit crisis, whether I want to see it or not.
It has become obvious that the lime in the sand was when the long-term interest rate crossed over its 40-year downtrend line. That was our early-warning sign. Right now, those that are groaning and crying are the ones that missed the sign.
As someone more well-known than me (probably my ophthalmologist) once said, "Hindsight's 20/20." Well, now I can see clearly what he meant.
