  2. I appreciate the thorough treatment you and John Titus give all these matters. My analysis goes like this: The United States is becoming the world’s largest money store, and meanwhile, China is the biggest owner. It would be too expensive to convert the reserve currency to something else, so the next closest thing is to own the country that hosts the reserve. China proved that it could sway the elections, and therefore has completely replaced any semblance of integrity in the government. This tells me that you should indeed retain dollars, real estate, and as I have said assets that will track any inflation that comes along. I do believe that there’s still a great deal of money laundering yet to be done, and the urgency of that makes changing the reserve currency problematic.

    1. We have put comic book characters into most high positions of government. It’s something like the Soviet Duma, only ours are dumas-ses who will perform tricks for small bribes.

    2. You said:

      My commment:
      I could not agree more!

      I believe the owner is the people who own China. China is just part of the globalization vehicle.

      1. Yes, I listened to Ask Catherine after I commented. It appears we have come to a similar conclusion. As Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. put it, we can either laugh or cry.

    3. I am not in the USA, so this is a view from outside. I have a sort of cognitive dissonance when “inflation” is discussed. I suggest that the USA has two types of inflation: price inflation of consumables from China; and price inflation of goods, services and assets within the USA.
      As to why these are different and the stresses they cause, I’ll leave that for another time.

  3. I am really enjoying the new money and markets. Should we be getting cash out and holding on to it?

    1. You need some liquidity, but good chance currency debasement could be a real problem. So good to have liquidity in your currency but also good to have non perishable household inventory and gold and silver coins. Resiliancy is what you are looking for. Some things work in some scenarios. Other work in other scenarios.

      If you stockpile cash, consider stockpiling your currency coins.

      The most successful trading vehicle in Russia’s meltdown in the early 1990’s was vodka.

      The very best is useful skills and useful networks.

      2. REALLY LIKED THE NOTION OF A GREENHOUSE,AS WELL!
        CATHERINE,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION & INSPIRATION!
        YOU ARE THE BEST!

  4. I have an observation I’d like to share as I have not seen anyone discuss this yet. If you look at some of the serious adverse reactions of the COVID19 injections by the manufacturer and then research the pipeline of therapies each one of them is working on, one might notice an interesting correlation. Since I’m convinced about the nefarious nature of this global injection campaign, my intuitive mind produced a terrifying thought that the injections may be providing a pipeline of patients for therapies already being developed. What if we are about to witness the culmination of Mengele’s research, only on a global scale?

    1. Anything is possible, given how the leadership “stack’s functions”

    2. I agree 100%! I had the same thought when I saw the FDA approve the new Alzheimer’s drug last week, based on very week data. They must be expecting the vaccine to cause dementia. Big Pharma has turned people into ATMs.

      DARPA has developed an implantable biochip (Profusa) as a way to detect cancer early. If these Covid vaccines cause an uptick in cancers, then that will accelerate peoples willingness to be implanted with these invasive tracking devices. (Trans-humanism)

      I posted 2 comments about this in last week’s Money & Markets (June 3).

      Think about how happy the sociopaths will be if this happens: ‘your child has cancer, and you, the parent, gave it to them, when you consented for the vaccine.’

      1. Aluminum is part of the spraying. Simply based on what has likely been in the spraying for years, is enough to cause an epidemic of alzheimers. Another reason to detox, detox, detox.

  5. What I see as a strong possibility is that the Tether scam will cause a big crypto crash (my guess is late 2021 after another big bull run), which gives the central bankers reason to step in with their CBDC’s saying this is why you need us trusted individuals.

    1. I think they will keep pumping and dumping until they are ready to go. Don’t know if they can be ready by then, unless they just bring the retail side up through the passports and leave the rest for another day.

  6. I remember the ‘rent-to-own” stores of the 90’s in my area. You could rent a VCR by the week/month and by the time you owned it you would have paid about $1000 or so for it when it cost $200 or $300 retail. Took advantage of poor or no credit folks. My numbers may be off since it’s been awhile. You get my drift that doing this with housing will be the proverbial” license to print money” by the real estate robber barons. I could be wrong.

    1. You are right. Look at what has been happening with mobile home parks. They jack up rents on people who can not afford to move. I assume they have the databases on all of each occupants finances so they can calculate with alogrithms how much they can skim, including if they want to starve them out.

      1. Regarding mobile home parks….and I’ll add drive-in movie theatres to the mix as well….in the Los Angeles basin in the 1990s, there existed these two land uses, but not for long. As land values went up, these types of uses were purchased by housing subdivision developers. It was easy for the subdivision developers to change the zoning from mobile home park to single-family dwelling zoning, as the local city did the calculations and figured they get more taxes out of a subdivision versus a mobile home park or a drive-in movie theater. I kept seeing this again and again through the various cities in Los Angeles County to the extent that I reasoned that… Mobile home parks and drive-in movie theaters are simply temporary uses in a holding pattern until permanent housing subdivisions are developed. Now fast-forward, the same thing is happening to mobile home parks in South Florida, where large developers in concert with city leaders are in favor of converting mobile home parks to more lucrative land uses of commercial and subdivision, given the higher taxes generated by these uses, and throwing the elderly and low income mobile home park residents onto the street. Simply heartbreaking.

  7. Medline is the larges onlinet database of peer-reviewed, scientific papers on medical research, too. Check it out.

      1. fyi
        “The MEDLINE database is directly searchable from NLM as a subset of the PubMed® database as well as through other numerous search services that obtain the data from NLM’s Data Distribution program. In addition to the comprehensive journal selection process, what sets MEDLINE apart from the rest of PubMed is the added value of using the NLM controlled vocabulary, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®), to index citations.”

        my guess is that it is possible to commercialize indexing methods but that pubmed will have public access
