A settlement in gold and then that was stopped in 71. 00 then you had c. I. Currencies or franc the other feet of currencies and thats how you end up with a global ponzi scheme and you had as nomi prins writes in her excellent book collusion about how the Central Banks then were no longer competing with each other in a mercantile a system but became their coconspirators in a global monitor a system where each bank was simply passing the hot potato around the world and there was never any moment when Interest Rates are not being cut over the past 40 years 45 years thats never happened in one country may have raised a bit but another country would have dropped by considerably more the net result is now the goal of the globe is their debt to g.

President trump condemns White Supremacy, but fails for acknowledge his own ratist rhetoric t that was echoed in t man necessary owe of the antigunman who killed 22 people in el paso.

Thinkable of course this is the german eels and this is the u. S. 10 year yield and as you see since basically the European Union finally began quantitative easing in earnest they got into negative territory but i tell you whats remarkable is that you know we made a film like 10 years ago about the collapse of iceland we went to iceland about 6 months 9 months before it collapsed and predicted that it would collapse because it was a serious ponzi scheme where the banks were lending. To speculate and the result of that speculation in the Housing Market would be used as collateral at the bank to create more lending so it became a huge ponzi scheme force a collapse now people talk about these negative Interest Rates they think its the result of some policy by someone in doing some economic benolt benefit but they dont understand is that is the biggest bubble in history the sovereign bond bubble is by far the biggest ponzi scheme bubble its ever been created in the history of the world and
