Yes, All Wars are Bankers Wars:




So, my question is: was Trump playing us all along (with talk about bringing the troops home, and no more wasted $$$ on these wars) or is this because of the Jew Coup, and how the jews have a knife to his neck in the form of impeachment. I know he resisted three traps they set for him to attack Iran, but maybe that was just to build up his image of "see,he really doesn't want war"...Curious to know other's thoughts.

I've posted Mike Whitney, who clearly outlines how Trump's foreign policy being what it was on the campaign trail ("we will learn from foreign policy mistakes of the past...") to being completely in lock step with the establishment--he seems to think Trump changed as a way to get rid of Mueller:

The TPTB have their backs to the wall because the US Treasuries are imploding and international confidence in the US dollar is now cracking. Foreigners have deserted the US Treasury market just as government deficits are exploding higher with no end in sight. The FED is buying all paper "assets" in sight (REPO is spilling over into POMO) trying to prevent an implosion of the fiat assets (stocks, bonds, corporate debt, credit markets). Also, the shale oil industry is a black hole sucking liquidity out of the banking system. A war is the last desperate act of TPTB to maintain dollar relevancy and prop up oil prices to alleviate the strain from the shale oil debacle. Unfortunately, Iran is taking the bait and escalating, giving the US justification to escalate in response. The bankers see war as a way to create credit demand, dollar flows and debt creation. These forces counteract the deadly effects of monetary velocity and interest rates simultaneously going to zero. Convexity in the bond market is causing prices to go up exponentially as we approach zero yields in the US Treasuries. The FED must create more and more dollars to satisfy this convexity and prevent the bond prices from imploding. This is why gold is rallying higher and higher. The gold shorts are being overrun by the vast dollar flows that are spilling over in to the physically limited gold market. Central banks are buying gold and selling US treasuries, forcing the FED into a slow motion explosion of debt monetization. The central bankers understand that the only way out of this debt doom feedback loop is a reset to gold. But the TPTB, the shadow government, will start WWIII and blow up the paper money system before they surrender power to a gold-based honest money paradigm. We must pray that cooler minds prevail and prevent an excalation into a hot war that could result in massive deaths and destruction.

Thanks for this. Much of this is just over my head, though I try to follow. I watched a couple of youtubes from Greg Mannarino who seemed to be saying the same thing and sounding the alarm bells (posted those on the other Soleimani thread). Also saw some comments over at zerohedge saying the same thing and talking about REPO

Yes, All Wars are Bankers Wars:

Nah. Bankers have enough problems domestically. HALF A MILLION AMERICANS are now homeless according to Tucker in the above video. Banks are more concerned about that homeless bum literally shitting on their downtown doorstep..............not Iran.

(((Trumpstein's Administration))) has been waging an economic war against Iran for over three years and it finally went hot. It's all about Israel.

Spot on, that's what I see as well. Especially with the FED pumping billions of USD into the repo market. Some of you guys will remember the 2007/2008 crisis and the repo market wasn't the first to feel the affects, it was later when subprime (which started the whole thing) started going belly up. This time it's starting in repo, which is much much worse as Repo is a quasi shadow banking instrument used for short term loan by commercial banks.

The reason this is such a concern this time, is what was rarely discussed and never even touched in the last crisis was the derivatives market which commercial banks leverage exclusively in and it is in the TRILLIONS. The counter party risk in the derivatives market is absolutely insane, and if commercial banks which are leveraged to the hilt are having problems in repo forcing the FED to pump in billions to cover commercial short term loans, then the derivatives bomb is already set to explode. The only question is how long is the fuse?

This video by Mr. Gammon is interesting and pertinent. It explains how debts have exploded higher while the US dollar has strengthened. A vicious cycle developed where foreigners responded to QE by borrowing more and more dollars reasoning that their debts would be inflated away. But it is not that simple. A self feeding loop developed wherein short term dollar denominated debts must be rolled over into a rising dollar creating greater dollar demand and pushing the dollar higher on FOREX. The FED must monetize more and more debt to keep interest rates from rising and debt defaults. Artificially low interest rates incentivize more borrowing and on and on we go. Much of these dollars are coming back to the US domestic economy causing demand inflation while the dollar strengthens, a counterintuitive phenomenon vis-a-vis the inflation of the 1970s. I'm reminded of what Jim Willie has said for years: the dollar will rise and rise and rise and then disappear. Now I think I understand what he was saying. The US dollar and debt levels will rise simultaneously until a critical mass is reached. When that happens, the international community will have to reset the dollar to arrest this debt bubble from exploding or imploding and stabilize the FOREX markets. They will have to reset to the only asset left with sufficient unencumbered collateral to underpin the new monetary order: GOLD!

I'm just not seeing a financial collapse right now, mainly because of all our new trade deals. We are starting to move manufacturing back into the US. We are starting to make things again. This means that the bleeding due to trade deficit is slowing.

People aren't investing over seas so much anymore. People, including foreigners, are going to put their money in the US. They have to, because manufacturing is moving back to the US and along with it, investment. The rest of the world is shit. China is a shitty place to put your money. Europe is a shitty place to put your money. South America is a shitty place to put your money. Whats left? Not too many places.
