Yes Dorothy, the movie is called The Wizard of Oz.

Biden = The Cowardly Lion

Harris = The Wicked Witch of the West

Powell = Scarecrow

Blinken = The Tin Man

Dorothy, who is Dorothy?

And the most high and powerful: The Wizard of Oz is none other than PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP!

Yeah! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Hahaha! 😃😂

Yes Egypt my friend, very well allocated, as all are in perfect sequence for their role in this horror reality TV series we will soon witness!

Trump is the true Wizard of America, and is the true Trojan horses Ass(always a democrat first), as he will continue to divide the moronic base of the Republican Party.

I couldn't agree with Bill more, on how corrupt this country has become, and is now controlled by the most evil scum in the history of the world...How can I say such a thing about our beloved America you ask?...Wait and see what is coming. It will make Hitler and Stalin look like saints....Our host are pretty much explaining to all to Get The Hell Out of America!... On my way:)

The Future! Nah!

In a shocking twist of events, the Supreme Court approves Sleepy Joe’s student debt elimination plan, the dollar takes its biggest plunge in over 50 years, the stock market drops 15% in one week respectively, Ukraine withdraws troops from Kiev, China sends tanks to Russia, North Korea shoots down two fighter jets it claims entered their air space, the world braces for nuclear war, riots break out in the United Kingdom, Lockheed & Martin lays off 20,000, the earth continues circling the sun, and the crows live happily ever after, unless they get torched. Hahaha 😂🤣😂🤣

Egypt, you left out one event! Melting glaciers in Greenland uncover a gigantic solid gold nugget -- the size of the Empire State Building! The price of gold collapses to a few dollars per ton. People find that gold bars make good paperweights and doorstops😂🤣😂🤣.

lol, that’s would be the likely scenario, as the world prepares for an Armageddon showdown. Also crap coins Aave & Polygon (Matic), then we can all sing: “I’m a self made millionaire, pistols in the air”. Hahaha (Tupac)

Ha, ha. You write one of the most politically incorrect blogs on the planet. I still felt like I should call this one out: "...inflation Indians are off the reservation."

It's just an analogy. I understand where you are coming from but as 'they' control more and more of what we can say and how words are used we move closer and closer to a totalitarian world as envisaged in 1984.

But what will happen if the USD is no longer the world’s petrodollar, the world’s reserve currency? Or when is the tipping point where other currencies, or baskets of currencies, overtake the dollar as the primary reserve currency. It has already lost its’ status as the world’s sole reserve currency, at least where petrodollars are concerned.

Can the Fed start printing money again with the dollar in free fall, or will the sound of the printing press restarting be the catalyst that ignites the free fall? Or is it death by a thousand cuts? What are our choices given a precipitous and ongoing decline in the value of the US dollar - hyperinflation or a collapsed economy, or something else?

The usd is not going to be replace by any other currencies for a long time , it may and will loose against gold in a future but to be replace by an other currency no way , it s the most liquide currency, the world is Indebted in usd , those borrowers of those usd will love to see the usd free fall they will pay less of capital to rembourse their loan , not going to happens ... just reaping myself ,

Since august 1971 only the euro ( Deutchemark ) the Swiss Franck and the Japanese yen are higher than the usd , the rest of the currencies are lower and much lower , sterling , aud dollars , nzd doll,

Swedish and Norway currency, and not to mention the emerging market currencies all

Under the water ag usd ... a free fall of the usd hard to believe ... as a reserve currency pattern , the first years the reserve currencies go up ( everybody buy it and need it ) then there is a long slow down pattern ag the better currencies in the case of the usd , only 3 currencies Ok 4 with the Singapore dollars , and basta ... gold will outperform the usd

Perhaps you are right, but the USD became the world’s reserve currency based on the fact that the United States was the most powerful economic(and political) force on the planet and the USD was backed by “the full faith and credit” of the US government. Notice the word faith. What that meant was that we were trusted, even by those who didn’t like us(although they would never say so). Last year we boldly weaponised the dollar against the Russians and we are no longer trusted by even long term allies. The world has noticed. My point is that America and the world have changed dramatically, and nothing lasts forever.

USA still is the most trusted country by most of the nations , and even the one who do not love America need America , the main customer of China is by far his worst enemy USA . And the US never weaponized the usd ag Russia , the usd was in up trend leg since mid 2021 against all currencies till October 23 and corrected till February 23 , and now again in a second leg of uptrend , that s why gold is not breaking 2000 usd an ounce , when the usd will finish his work to be strong then the gold and silver and platinum will move higher , don’t know who put their weaponized idea on this forum .

Yes Juan, Most Trusted or Most Favorite Nation to China? This is changing rather fast, and the consequence will be extremely painful for our citizens. China has weaponized our own government against our people...Don't believe it? Don't worry, be happy:)

I love your prose and your insights on the future, (?), but we are living through this and Joel, Dan, and Tom are keeping us posted. Please tell us what is happening on the Rancheria. Jefe. Just saying! Fla J.,

James, don't worry about our host "insights" due to they have been so wrong, so many times, that they too are only Human...and have the same "insights" as all of us. Some just react faster and smarter then others...

Life is about common sense. We now live in a corrupt country, run by the most evil, and mentally insane maggots of society that any psychotic individual that supports and agrees with it, are just that!

Maybe not a bad idea to buy a little plot away from America, and when the inevitable starts to happen, Run as fast as you and your family can, because this has happened so many times in human history. Again, only the Strong and Intelligent Survive...God Bless America, and those who Fought for her!!! Time to go my brothers...

It’s getting close to asking many question of the lenders of credit to all the worlds Tom’s, Dick’s and Harry’s.

Really dumb Questions such as -

‘When did you last lend to anyone, where you thought, this dude really has no idea what he is doing, but that’s not gunna be my problem?’

‘Did you have to give out the last $10k loan today, just to meet quota for the month?’

‘So was the business trading at a profit or a loss but either would be OK to extending credit terms?’

‘So would you like an extra couple of credit card for your teenagers, so they can grab those fries with their burgers?’

Trite maybe, but analogies of what bankers & credit cards are creating as loans on their books, that they then get audited as ‘Current Assets.’

Really ?
