Climate catastrophe really start to depopulate humans thats in fact what one of our gas royce a bog of gold money dot com predicted could be the price signal that we see with negative Interest Rates because otherwise how can time have no value it doesnt make any sense other than if its predicting its signalling some sort of huge deep population of and whether its just like everybody stops having children or theres a mass die off in some way who knows it could be you see with all these superbugs and i forgot roy did make that connection negative Interest Rates connected to the population because otherwise the idea of having a negative value for time makes no sense unless time which is a human construct was going to in less humans so go back look at that episode just search on you tube kaiser for royce. To find that because it was an interesting thought provoking episode. In 2019 so last year at this time of course the markets were tumbling and everything was kind of chaos and everybody thought its all over and the fed stepped in so that was the end of another thing weve always been talking about and that was that you cant taper a ponzi and the fed stepped in and theyve been intervening more more all year long it started with them just stopping raising rates member they ended the year John Williams at the fed had said that they were going to only saw like one or 2 more Interest Rate rises and 2019 of course they couldnt do that and theyve been cutting rates and theyve been intervening in the repo markets heres a tweet 21000 was the opposite of 2018 global rally lifted only every boat long strategies made money through most of the year stocks bonds and commodities had positive returns only in Industrial Metals and the 0 sum game of spot currencies did major assets post losses. Cant taper a ponzi scheme thing and the fed stepping in to flood the market with cash to keep the folks at the very tippy top of the wealth pyramid happy started 1987 so the crash of 87. 00 brought in the plunge Protection Team under Alan GreenspanRonald Reagan and robert rubin and they began to flood the markets with cash with government money with taxpayer money to essentially that was the end of free market capitalism in america in a huge way you had the 1913 in traditional the fed that destroyed much of the u. S. Capitalism and then the 1987 plunge Protection Team pretty much took capitalism completely off the out of the picture in america and we ended up into a control a command and control system by the fed the fed became the new poll bureau Interest Rates became their the hammer and sickle that they beat the population and to rally the elites and they did so under the ideology of markets. Fundamentalism which we find out is similar to theological fundamentalism in that it breeds terrorism that was only possible once told paul was no longer in the central bank thats paul volcker who did passed away this end of the year december 29th so he was the guy who was in charge of the central bank when the u. S. Went off the Gold Standard he was brought in and basically fall gold and won right because he he at the time when we 1st went bankrupt defaulted on our gold back debts and then we just paid a fee out there was a lot of concern through the seventys a lot of inflation volatility people didnt know if this was all going to work and then paul volcker came in reason just raised to 20 percent. Incurred the wrath of many bankers the bankers hated him if you ever see a central banker that is hated by bankers then you know theyre probably not model of the model coddling them how do you say that were only coddling ali well you know paul volcker was the last central bank of america to do the job of what the central bank was designed to do take away the punchbowl when the specular of friends you got to crazy he was the last to do that since the time we started greenspan theyve only had one policy response to every single economic event that ever comes out of the pike and that is to lower rates and print more money thats the only thing they ever do they dont try to do anything other than that to the they can tell in effect feed their friends billions and billions of free money and interestingly enough every Federal Reserve chairman sense paul volcker has as far as the physical dimensions he was i think 6 foot for every single one has been progressively shorter with janet yellen being the shortest of all so thats kind of interesting and also in the area of Central Banks with volcker gone was really the. This idea of kind of price discovery as it relates to markets as well so now we all we have now is we dont have crisis. We have whats called mark to model so usually assets are marked to market to say oh i have about a bunch of assets and the market value is based on what i can sell them for but when once volcker is gone and you bring in the imaginary money crazy people like greenspan you introduced mark to model you say i have a bunch of assets and the value is based not on what i could sell them for but what i could theoretically sell them for under certain theoretical conditions and this is the beginning of the phantasmagoria of the global debt pile which is down golfing all economies everywhere i want to point out another thing about paul volcker that is important to understand and what has changed since him is he said the greatest financial innovation of the past 100 years was the a. T. M. Machine so all this crazy Financial Engineering and were so fabulous and we deserve to be billionaires for a basic function of utility as a bank you know exchange you know offering loans and and acting as a middleman between the government and the people of the population for the money like he didnt buy any of that stuff about all of these credit default swaps and derivatives and that it was some high falutin scientific sort of wonderful creation also with paul volcker because you say he wiped out inflation yes during volcker is time which of the seventys and the economy up until the seventys in the United States it Inflation Numbers included wages after greenspan came on board wages were no longer included if youre looking at inflation because wages were financially engineer and the and reagan destroyed organized labor with the firing all the air Traffic Controllers and wages were put into the socially outsourced to china and so when people say well we have an amazing economy with no inflation as they do now if you turn on c. And b. C theyll say theres no inflation what they mean is we have an amazing a condom a word billionaires are becoming even more billionaire e and wages. State flat thats not the same thing as saying no inflation the reality is we reengineer the economy starting with greenspan to give billionaires many many more billions and not to give wage earners anything thats what they are so i think we actually happened as you reengineered the population as youve discussed here with john bruno and as weve seen on the ground here and argentina the people here cannot afford to be stupid and ignorant because they are theres another currency crisis on the horizon is the reality of the last 100 years in america what happened is because i remember the seventys i remember my mom worked at pfizer remember my uncle worked electric boat right across the street and i remember them talking every year at the end of the year about how much their it when you just were going to go up because it was tied to inflation so i remember them talking about this no do you know anybody that ever talks about that ever it like consider is there because inflation is connection news in the natural engineering in the mind of the people who dont understand gold who dont understand big point of course no big coin or no gold all right so americans your quality of life is the same or better even though your wages gone up because the products youre buying made in the factories in china are cheaper yes so theyre like oh im in my trailer park shooting smack but im watching a 140 dollar flat screen t. V. Manufactured in china so my quality of life is actually just as good as it was when i was making you know the cash back in the seventys and had a great purchasing power and one member of the family was the breadwinner and people were educated and my kids were not shooting smack but they make this equivalency well of course i want to point out a chart that was very important in 2019 and this is again its a chart that has followed the kaiser report since the beginning in 2009 gold broke out of a syringe and i finally hit 1500 again for the 1st time since i guess its 2012 heres the chart going back to 2010 so right towards the beginning of kaiser report gold has soared up to close to over 801. 00. In argentina lets mention that when we started it was a 1000 pesos to go down 290000 pesos for an ounce of gold in argentina so gold is making new all time highs in currencies all over the world except the u. S. Dollar so this chart itself doesnt it doesnt go back to 2003 when it actually started when the gold bull market started it went up and when you and i were investors in gold the 300. 00 it went up just like 78900. 00 and then fell back down to like 6700. 00 and people like robert park tourist saying its going to go to 300. 00 again this is the 2nd wave that it went out over i guess it was like about 1800. 20 and then its tumbled and weve done a long tedious sideways move for the last 56 years but as you see its broken out of the range that could be the 3rd wave and the 3rd waves are always the most spectacular of any bull market so a lot of people in the audience will think oh the bull market was over because its only been in like a 12. 00 to 1300. 00 for the 1st few years but had they been watching kaiser report they would have remembered when it was 200. 00 or 300. 00 secular bull markets are 101520 years in duration when i started on wall street 1902 there but a secular bear market on wall street for 16 years and people and working on wall street did not they had to work night jobs to make a living it was that dead the offices of wall street were half empty people consider wall street a dead end job and then you had the bull market the secular bull market began in 1902 when volcker had taken Interest Rates inflation rate and so weve had 37 years 38 years of declining Interest Rates and thats been the the photo the picture of the bull market but now now were at the brink getting of a secular bull market in gold again in 17 years into it and at this point lovely were going to take a break go and when we come back much more coming your way dont go away. This is a sticker from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are trying this way industry shouldnt be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. Thats. A special projects funded. On the. Team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. I. Welcome back to the kaiser report christmassy oh the trees being lit. A lot of americans so that all that stuff or what is there is argentina celebrating christmas south of the equator. Put some garland on an empanada and it was so delicious well i love all the jacaranda trees and the blooms out here its just amazing weve had amazing time down here weve obviously not been naughty this year because otherwise we wouldnt be here in argentina celebrating Christmas Season i want to again remind everybody that we said one of the things that we saw in 21000. 00 as we said at the end of the 1st half of this episode was that gold is now has hit 1500 to went through that decisively that is that was a key resistance and now theres really no genuine resistance until. 190900 so weve got some upside potential even Goldman Sachs is saying its going to hit 1600 this year but you know the other thing that we ended 2019 with was the repo market and that was the big mystery of what is happening in the repo market is somebody going under is some bank going under is Deutsche Bank going under and one of the suggestions had always been that j. P. Morgan was just too big write well in fact the bank of International Settlements at the end of the year did come out with a report and theyre suggesting that indeed its the monopoly and thats the way matt stoler says its a monopoly stupid for banks that dominate the market hold about 25 percent of their reserves in the u. S. Banking system but 50 percent of the treasuries so the top 4 banks in america own 50 percent of all treasuries which are very crucial to the liquidity of the repo market that mismatch according to the b. Is. Likely slow the movement of cash in their repo market rates so once again low Interest Rates which promote malinvestment. And crowd out good investment create financial catastrophes which end up in bank mergers so in 2008 you had j. P. Morgan merging with a lot of banks and merging banks are monopolies and knobbly banks mean you have like the repo market showing massive distress. I know weve been left but i am and im laughing because of. My chair me and i like that was. 2019 well thats people passing wind on air it was my chair making a noise and i dont want to go viral like i dont want to go viral that was possible you know being noticed by anyone why you would suddenly laughing in the middle of our Christmas Show based on a. Perception of flash leading a chair you know that couldnt possibly be of interest to anyone i know i was shocked because i didnt even hear them. And im just looking at it giggling. Monopolies are destructive ultimately and low Interest Rates allow for the mal investment that create the catastrophes that encourage the monopolies thats my point before the chair incident like to reiterate my point so again were going to go into these details a little bit of the b. A. s and i want to get to the predictions we got right at the end of the year last year about economics in the u. S. China trade war 1st u. S. Banks reluctant to lend cash may have caused repo shock said the b. A. s and this is from reuters the unwillingness of the top 4 u. S. Banks to lend cash combined with a burst of demand from hedge funds for secured funding could explain a recent spike in the u. S. Money market rates the bank for International Settlements said cash available to banks for short term funding all but dried up in late september and Interest Rates deep in the plumbing of the u. S. Financial markets climbed into double digits so this is the problem with monopoly and basically having cartels running every single sector of the economy as they could cause chaos by just withdrawing you know the liquidity and if if they want to act like cartels and basically a Government Service like nationalized. Or have free competition have to have actual competition because you cant run a pseudo market like this no you need competition to make a capitalist system. Fair right i mean the more competition the better and when you remove competition and you remove diversity you end up with a motto mahna mahna monopoly and. Risks become catastrophic so the us is heading toward the abyss its heading toward its 1991 soviet union collapsed remember a friend Dmitri Orloff wrote the essay collapse gap and he said that the soviet union and america would both collapse the United States would both collapse but the us would take a few years longer now were in 20 twentieths think the us will soviet union finally on early collapse as adam curtis showed and demonstrated in hyper normalization at least the soviet citizens at that point did not have any delusions that the system was normal and could possibly sustain itself most americans tune into m s n b c or fox and theyre there like sooth theres the old everything is normal this is ok everythings fine its like that burning dog with the world burning down around and its everything is ok me i mean its a very misleading dog mean in the burning room saying its all ok i hear i hear the audience talking right now i hear them saying ok boomer ok boomer because were we cant get this 1000000 of course your x. Or im a boomer x. Or but because i hang out with you all the time i feel like a boon i feel like an x. Or because i hang out with you. Well heres another tweet that sums up 2019 and we had predicted that our new years eve show of going into 2019 china exports to the us down a whopping 23 per cent year on year. Looks like a pretty. Bad so of course one persons loss one nations loss is another nations gain so well go into that about the geo economics the re architecting of the global power grid. Neo merkel until ism new trade deals new trade routes new silk road to point out weve got new. Alliances emerging new developments happening because one well because like we say all the time throughout history no empire goes away quietly they like to tear down they like to throw over the whole monopoly board and were weve seen that over the past 10 years but accelerating undertrial and now you see it in the numbers here thats the heartbeat of global trade thats the deal globalization right there and thats the sinking of the trade with the u. S. Of course that means that chinas not receiving dollars for their exports to china to the u. S. Its down 23 percent and we save less dollars have to recycle that means theyre earning other currencies from other nations as they do their own currency swaps dollars a day globalization population these are the things weve been talking about for a few years should hit a massive crescendo in 2020 and in fact we also had predicted yobbo would accelerate and at that time last year at this time it was just a Yellow Vest Movement and now weve seen ill just highlight the ones that dont get mentioned by the Mainstream Media because of the inconvenience of it being a u. S. Backed me a liberal regime like chill a colombia lebannon. You know thats a little bit more complicated but theyre chile and colombia down here in latin america you know those are huge uprisings against and they say in their own placards against neo liberalism like you take our assets and leave us a pile of debt and thats thats a bogus deal but go back to this geo economics i want to say you know we did predict that the u. S. Would not allow the. One belt one road system to move forward from china because that was like their Marshall Plan and the Marshall Plan after world war 2 helped the u. S. Really solidify our trade relationships and our. Alliances our allies having to rely on the us well according to the Atlantic Council actually who are very proamerican sort of the regime changers many latin american governments and companies consider the belgian Road Initiative an opportunity for furthering International Engagement as in other regions of the world the main alert of b. R. Eye is expanded access to china a growing export destination and source of external financing over the past 20 years china has transformed from one of latin americas modest commercial partners to one of its most important bilateral trade grew 25. 00 times from 12000000000. 00 in 1909 to 306000000000. 00 in 28. 00 team placing china as latin americas 2nd largest trading partner after the United States since 2005 chinese policy banks have provided more than 141000000000. 00 in loan commitments to latin america exceeding in several years the lending of the world bank the Inter AmericanDevelopment Bank and the c. F. Development bank of latin america combined china is also becoming an increasingly important foreign direct investor for the region especially through mergers and acquisitions so they are definitely seeing this as an opportunity especially over the last 10 years where the u. S. Was diverted in the middle east but now youre seeing the emergence of this new trade. Chinas number 2 for latin america right in the u. S. Has run out of countries that they can read and they are turning internally. As been reported recently as phones like call center are destroying american towns the same way that they did toys help destroy greece or help destroy other argentina right there are destroying themselves now so the stake is eating itself so we talked about job of the global insurrection. Against banker occupation we see it around nations around the world especially those that cannot print their own us dollars everywhere but the us so heres a final headline looking at 2019 and looking ahead to 2020 i dont think it could possibly happen in 2020 but one day americans might join the global insurrection because owns half of all americans work in low wage jobs this is a Brookings Institute study americas Unemployment Rate is that a half century low but it also has a job quality problem that affects nearly half the population with the study finding 44 percent of u. S. Workers are employed in low wage jobs that pay median annual wages of 18000 dollars to 44 percent of americans earn a median wage of 18000. 00 that means half of them earn under 800000. 00 so leave it to beaver was a show i watched as a kid and that was a typical American Family at the time in the sixtys so the only 10 percent of americans have a leave it to beaver like lifestyle everyone else is socially hand to mouth one to one foot in poverty thats an exact number 30000000 to so just under 10 i looked at the report and i did the calculation in the old bean because they asked what makes a good job simply put middle class wages and benefits like Insurance Health insurance according to Previous Research from brookings but only about 30000000 americans have good jobs by that definition but i want to say that we have are june cleaver and the b. Yeah ok thats going only 10 percent of people live in beaver ville says that show and most people are again in the audience are saying ok boomer weve never heard of this series but in fact back at that day and you and i existed around that are we certainly born soon after is a lot of those people who had middle class jobs didnt have a College Degree but now you have most of those 30000000 who are in this have these good jobs have College Degrees but that cost of a College Degree is obviously its closer. 100000 there are over 50000. 00 that youre going to graduate with so its huge cost to enter that lucky 30000000. 00 that lucky 9 percent of the well you know we heard on our show just recently from a professor at Cornell University that it cost 280000. 00 to get a degree from cornell well thats going to do it for our Christmas Special here. Remember that elf on the shelf is probably a spy until next time by. Brothers. In the room light of. My limited role more than i was for this to die in prison but its crucial love my life.
