Understanding the New Era we Face – No More General Terms Apply

QUESTION:  In regards to the “Crash or Collapse” post you just put up, we kind of wonder what you meant when you wrote at the end “This will not be like anything seen in past 200 years” We were wondering, was that in regards to a crashing market or crashing Bond market? I thought you said in […]

The Complexity of War & Debt – a New Factor Entirely
