We are breathing a lot easier, how about you? We had been worrying that a devastating recession would plunge the US into chaos…losses…and confusion…giving the Fed the smokescreen to go back to what it does best — causing inflation…

A lot of red on the screen last Thursday. The latest inflation readings were worse than expected. The Dow dropped 500 points. Remember, we’re only in the very first stage of what we believe will be a multistage disaster.

Yes, dear reader, it’s a YODO world now. Investors are realising that when they are dead, they are dead forever — no Fed voodoo to raise them from the grave. And it’s the first time for most of them. No chance to practice. No opportunity to learn.

The Fed and its member banks funded the federal government by expanding the money supply, lending out newly created dollars — especially to the US Government. GDP growth slowed. But debt growth sped up. In 1980, US debt was still less than US$1 trillion. Now, it is US$31 trillion…and growing fast.

Last week was a jolly mess. Someone blew up the world’s most important gas pipeline. The Dow closed out the worst September in 20 years. The Bank of England (BoE) looked normalcy in the face — and panicked. Inflation rose. And a storm swamped much of Florida. ‘Get used to it’, said the climate alarmists; it’s the new normal.
