Interest Rates & Central Banks - All central banks are caught between a rock and a very hard place. They are expected to raise rates to fight inflation, to sterilize the reckless spending from the politicians who think they can spend whatever they want, and it’s the central bank’s job to neutralize the inflationary effects. Look, this is a serious crisis. zurl.co/nyCDP

Qatar’s LNG Empire Is Being Strangled by the War with Iran - Qatar is a particularly dangerous case because its economy depends heavily upon liquefied natural gas (LNG), and nearly all of that export trade must pass through the Strait of Hormuz. zurl.co/Hpbm2

Japan’s central bank has raised its main interest rate to 1.25%, the highest level in 31 years, in response to rising inflation and economic pressures. This marks the sixth increase since 2024 as the Bank of Japan moves away from ultra-low borrowing costs. zurl.co/X9PXX

I have warned that the 2025 US-Israeli attack on Iran was the worst possible decision. That came with the bottom of the Iranian Cycle, which means a new cycle of hostility would begin. This immediate cycle will escalate into 2032. zurl.co/qNux0

Wave of Pollical Change is a Global Contagion as We Saw in BC, Canada - What you are seeing in Europe, is a global uptrend in civil unrest, but one that is manifesting at the voting booth. We are witnessing it in the UK, Ireland, the United States, and Canada. zurl.co/h0Gi6

France & the Demise of Macron - The meme going around is that Macron is pictured with a bottle of Russian vodka and blaming the riots on Putin. Macron has called President Donald Trump, among others, for using the situation in France for their own ends. zurl.co/n9dO8

Eurozone vs Banking Crisis - Sovereign Debt Crisis itself first focused on the sovereign debt held as reserves. What I warned that the failure to CONSOLIDATE the debt meant that this was the vulnerability that one could take down the rest of the Eurozone. zurl.co/WoQdm

Knowledge is Dangerous when it Threatens Control - I learned that history forgives what it is not allowed to remember thanks to censorship. I discovered that when I stumbled upon Herbert Hoover’s Memoirs. zurl.co/Bi1DS

Poland’s Right to Defend Its Borders - What distinguishes Poland is that it still has political leaders willing to stand up publicly and demand secure borders, defend their national traditions, and preserve their culture rather than simply surrender every decision to Brussels. zurl.co/IwWAY

2032 Can’t Come Fast Enough - The Democrats will destroy the economy as you see wild proposals from Elizabeth Warren and the Progressive led by AOC. They will so screw up the United States, that this is what will be needed to get to 2032. zurl.co/k2n1e

The Housing Market Is Not Returning to 2020 - I have explained that the artificially low mortgage rates during the pandemic were an anomaly created by extraordinary monetary intervention. People became accustomed to borrowing at 2% or 3% and somehow concluded that this was normal. zurl.co/o11O9

I believe the Neocons are closing in, and the last letter I sent got no reply. That has never happened before. They are trying to create a bubble around Trump. I do not see anyone in DC understanding that China and North Korea as well as Iran will join Russia against Europe. zurl.co/6YQKn
