This is a special urgent report available to clients only. We have detailed the progression of the Liquidity Crisis we had forecast would erupt at our Rome World Economic Conference come September 2019. The early warning signs were right there in a our face if you just looked. The next stage emerged into the Repo Crisis and the third stage will unfold as the Mother of all Financial Crises.

This report will be update next year when Phase III of the Mother of all Financial Crises begins to unfold.

One of the major distinctions is how politics has degenerated into who knows what, all we need to do is look at BREXIT and the chaos of the British elections come the 13th. We have never seen an election where former prime ministers have intervened to disrupt an election as they have this time around. […]
