 Germanexit?
The Cradle: What is your analysis on Gazprom confirming Line B of the Nord Stream 2 was not touched by Pipeline Terror? This means Nord Stream 2 is practically ready to go – with a capacity to pump 27.5 billion cubic meters of gas a year, which happens to be half of the total capacity of – damaged – Nord Stream. So Germany is not doomed. This opens a whole new chapter; a solution will depend on a serious political decision by the German government.
Hudson: “Here’s the kicker: Russia certainly won’t bear the cost again, only to have the pipeline blown up. It will be up to Germany. I bet the current regime says “No.” That should make for an interesting rise of the alternative parties.
The ultimate problem is that the only way Germany can restore trade with Russia is to withdraw from NATO, realizing that it is the major victim of NATO’s war. This could only succeed by spreading to Italy, and also to Greece (for not protecting it against Turkey, ever since Cyprus). That looks like a long fight.
Maybe it’s easier just for German industry to pack up and move to Russia to help modernize its industrial production, especially BASF for chemistry, Siemens for engineering, etc.. If German companies relocate to the US to get gas, this will be perceived as a US raid on German industry, capturing its lead for the US. Even so, this won’t succeed, given America’s post-industrialized economy. So German industry can only move eastward if it creates its own political party as a nationalistic anti-NATO party. The EU constitution would require Germany to withdraw from the EU, which puts NATO interests first at the federal level. The next scenario is to discuss Germany’s entry into the SCO. Let’s take bets as to how long that will take.” A roadmap to escape the west’s stranglehold

  '...Washington’s provocations mount, and Putin’s response is not a show of force but a plea for negotiations and offers to supply Russia’s NATO enemies with energy. Little wonder Washington escalates the conflict.
The lack of decisive action by Russia has allowed Washington to put humanity on the road to Armageddon. Washington and its NATO puppets have lost their fear of Russia, and the provocations will continue. As Putin has not defended any Russian declared red lines, Washington believes he has none. Putin does not even defend Syria, a country he rescued from Washington’s conquest, from Israeli attacks.
Patience is a virtue in a leader, but Putin’s patience is seen by many in Washington as a lack of resolution. If this interpretation of Putin’s patience turns out to be a mistake, Washington will cross a red line that will bring us into the Armageddon period of human history.'

 FTX Implosion Leads to Chaos in the Streets – Bix Weir
According to precious metals and financial expert Bix Weir, when the FTX cryptocurrency exchange imploded, it took with it billions of dollars of investments. It now has more than a million creditors both big and small. Weir says it is the tip of the iceberg in a dying over-indebted system. Weir contends it is orders of magnitude worse than the Lehman Brothers meltdown that caused the Great Recession in 2008. Weir explains, “Does it really matter if we control the House or the Senate or the Presidency? The only thing that will matter, the only thing that will change what is going on is when the ATMs shut off and, all of a sudden, people cannot get money out of the bank. That would change things really fast. I think it will happen. All we need is one highly connected derivative bank to go down, and they all go down. They can bail out a trillion-dollar bank, but they cannot bail out a $2 quadrillion failure, and that is what is coming. The moment that hits is when everybody will say, okay, nobody is getting paid off...We are going to find out in about a month how many counterparties in the FTX debacle will be translated into the derivatives, which is probably 100 times bigger than what happened on FTX. Every one of those people on the FTX ledger was placing derivative bets that were hedging their crypto position. Now, their crypto positions have disappeared. The actual cryptos are no longer there...that is what was hedging this transaction. There are two sides to a derivative trade. If one side loses, they double lose. So, we could see a massive, massive fallout from the derivative mess.” 
Weir also points out, “The insanity is we all believe in unbacked fiat money. That system is dying, and that’s why they are desperate to go to something else...They know the end of this system is going to be painful. That’s why they keep kicking the can down the road. Nobody really pretends it’s going to work out. You don’t hear the government saying we are going to pay off the debt...Nobody talks about that anymore. They talk more about what will we do next...Let’s invent a new kind of currency. That’s what they are talking about now because everybody has known since day one that this system will end.”
Well known politicians, sports stars and big-financial institutions were all involved with FTX. Charges are flying that FTX was a money laundering operation, a fraud and a huge public rip-off. This is a symptom of what comes at the end of a financial system. What does the end look like? Weir says, “It might be we have many currencies being used with the collapse of the system...Our government is completely corrupt. When they find out all the bad things your politicians have done to your country, to humanity and to children, good night. There is going to be chaos in the streets. Then what do you have that will work in a barter type situation until we all figure this out. I think that is where we are going. Right now, it’s going to be painful. December will be really painful, and in January and February, who knows what will be with the change in government–if there is one.”
Weir says gold, and especially silver, are extremely undervalued. He says physical supplies of both metals are disappearing. Weir says both metals will be going way up in value in the not-so-distant future.

Washington secretly ships weapons stored in Israel to Ukraine
Never EVER forget:

'...There’s no Plan B.
Or is there? 90 seconds to midnight?
Obsessed by Mackinder, the Empire fought for control of the Eurasian landmass in World War I and World War II because that represented control of the world.
Later, Zbigniew “Grand Chessboard” Brzezinski had warned: “Potentially the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition between Russia, China and Iran.”
Jump cut to the Raging Twenties when the US forced the end of Russian natural gas exports to Germany (and the EU) via Nord Stream 1 and 2.
Once again, Mackinderian opposition to a grand alliance on the Eurasian landmass consisting of Germany, Russia and China.
The Straussian neo-con and neoliberal-con psychos in charge of US foreign policy could even absorb a strategic alliance between Russia and China – as painful as it may be. But never Russia, China and Germany.
With the collapse of the JCPOA, Iran is now being re-targeted with maximum hostility. Yet were Tehran to play hardball, the US Navy or military could never keep the Strait of Hormuz open – by the admission of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Oil price in this case would rise to possibly thousands of dollars a barrel according to Goldman Sachs oil derivative experts – and that would crash the entire world economy.
This is arguably the foremost NATO Achilles Heel. Almost without firing a shot a Russia-Iran alliance could smash NATO to bits and bring down assorted EU governments as socio-economic chaos runs rampant across the collective West.
Meanwhile, to quote Dylan, darkness keeps dawning at the break of noon. Straussian neo-con and neoliberal-con psychos will keep pushing the Doomsday Clock closer and closer to midnight.' -Pepe Escobar here

'...Today, February 24, 2023, is the anniversary of Russia’s entry into Donbass, which was intended only to free Donbass of Ukraine military and neo-Nazi militias. It was not an invasion of Ukraine. But by under-committing military resources and imposing crippling rules of war, Putin guaranteed that Washington would use the generous time Putin provided to greatly widen the war. Now Putin is faced with the likelihood of missile attacks on the Russian naval base in Crimea. Why is this unimaginable when Washington had no hesitancy in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines? What will be the next target for attack? Moscow?
When the expected Russian winter offensive did not materialize, those who reported a large buildup of Russian troops and weapons on Ukraine’s border said that Russians were a symbolic people and were delaying the attack for the anniversary date. The date has arrived.
If the attack does not occur, the neoconservatives will become even more confident. Provocations will worsen as they accelerate. Putin will find Russia backed into a corner where nuclear weapons are his only option...' -Paul Craig Roberts here
'...The Reality
Gather around, Fam….here’s the facts you won’t hear on the Idiot Tube:
The Western Governments are backing out already…
The Western People are sick of being poor to pay for Ukraine…
The Ukrainians are running out of shells…
The Russians are running factories around the clock to make munitions…
The World is about three months from kicking off an election cycle…
One side (Hint: it’s not Kiev) has around 300,000 infantry waiting at the border with more coming…
The other side (Hint: it’s not Moscow) is relying on Polish volunteers to fight their battles for them…
Even if all the cards did not favor Russia there still would be no reason to talk when the only words being used are slurs against them…
Whatever your personal philosophy of the circumstance, this is the practical reality of the situation…None of this ends “at the negotiating table” this year - it ends at the Dnipro in the two or three to come. '

'...There’s no easy way out of this one. Mass liquidation is coming. Still, when the dust settles consumer prices will remain higher than they were at the start of 2020.
There’s no going back to the prices of January 2020 for the same reason there will never, ever be penny candy again. The dollar debauchery that took place has permanently disfigured prices.
The central planners, eager to deliver something for nothing, caused an epic disaster. And they won’t stop. They’ll continue to act – and they’ll say they’re acting with courage. What then?
More than likely, through money supply expansion and currency debasement, the central planners will continue down the inflationary path. Maybe it will continue at a subtle or moderate rate over many years or decades. Or they could trigger runaway inflation, where velocity spikes up and prices double and triple in just a few weeks.
No doubt, we’ll all find out soon enough. In the meantime, pay down debts, save cash, buy gold, and stack silver. With a little luck, you’ll make it though with a slimmer waistline and a greater mistrust of the planners in charge...'

Save Dollar or Financial System – Not Both – Bill Holter
 Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter said last summer that the Fed rate increases would tank the economy. The collapse of SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) is the latest sign the Fed is breaking the financial system. Will it continue to raise interest rates as Fed Head Jay Powell said this past week? Holter says that is the biggest question out there because it comes down to picking what you want to save. It’s the U.S. dollar or the financial system. Holter explains, “They can save one thing or the other. They can save the financial system, or they can save the dollar. If they save the dollar, they will have to raise rates, and they will have to keep tightening. To save the financial system, they will have to loosen. They have tightened so hard and so fast over the last year they have raised rates and tightened faster than anytime before. This is in the face of the biggest over-levered situation in history no matter how you look at it...They can only do one or the other, and they already look like fools. The world is already laughing at the United States. Think of what Russia and China think when we are walking out some army general wearing a skirt. We are getting to the end game.”
Holter, who is also a precious metals broker from Miles Franklin, says the bankruptcy of SVB is just the tip of the default iceberg. Holter says, “The problem is a global bankruptcy. In order to avoid the bankruptcy, you don’t go from bank A to bank B or some sovereign treasury. You don’t go to paper because paper can bankrupt. It’s going to dawn on people all of a sudden that gold and silver are the safe havens. That’s going to create a ‘failure to deliver’ event, and when you get failure to deliver, all confidence is gone. This is all about confidence. Failure to deliver is coming soon because you are talking about big, big money, and there is not big, big supply...My phone has been blowing up all weekend. People are wanting wiring instructions so they can wire money Monday morning...This failure to deliver event is right in front of us.”
You might think everything will be safe in the bank because of FDIC deposit insurance. That is not totally true because the government basically turned depositors into creditors in 2012. Holter says, “In 2012 or 2013, the FDIC amended their rules and said there would no longer be bailouts, but bail-ins. People don’t understand that when there is a bail-in and a bank goes down, it takes all or part of the money they are holding on your behalf to make themselves solvent. It is no surprise that Janet Yellen (Treasury Secretary) is saying there are not going to be bailouts because it’s been official policy for ten years or more...There are cockroaches everywhere. The whole system is rotten to the core. The whole system is over-levered. The whole system is fraudulent. The entire system is a Ponzi scheme...The government of the reserve currency of the world has to borrow a trillion dollars a year to stay solvent. That’s ridiculous.”
Holter thinks big inflation is coming when the Fed has to cut rates to save the system. He says, “The government will inflate or die.”

A full guarantee of all bank deposits would spell the end of moral hazard and mark the final chapter of the dollar’s multi-decade debasement.
Gold It’s Independent.
It’s not anybody’s obligation.
It’s not drawn on anybody.
Gold, the only kind of money that isn’t someone else’s liability and dependent on others’ financial soundness.
Gold has a self-intrinsic value not contingent on someone else's mere promise to pay.
Thus, Gold in its physical form is still the ultimate form of financial insurance.
Gold is not an investment, it is real money.
Gold reflects governments ongoing deceitful action in destroying the value of paper money.
Own physical gold and silver bars and coins. No ETFs, no paper gold or silver.
Do not store gold with any bank.

Renowned radio host, filmmaker, book author and archeological dig expert Steve Quayle says the global banking meltdown, tanking economy, CV19 bioweapon/vax deaths and disabilities and war in Ukraine is all part of what the Bible calls “End of Days.” Brace yourself. It’s not going to get better anytime soon. Quayle explains, “Preachers in the pulpit are whores. They won’t even speak the name of Jesus. They want to be friends with the world. They want to be seeker friendly and user friendly. Jesus said, ‘To be friends with the world is enemies with God.’ So, the battle lines are being drawn. People are going to have to decide which side they are on, and then they are going to have to stand. They are going to have to call on God for him to be with us because God is the only one that can stand with the fire that is now already manifesting itself in the world before us.”
Quayle goes on to say, “All Hell is breaking loose with the banking system...Let me define ‘All Hell breaking loose’ and what that will mean. When all Hell breaks loose, there will be no credit cards. When all Hell breaks loose, there will be no transactions because there will be nothing on the shelves that you can buy with paper money. We are going into hyperinflation right now. We are watching the housing market collapse. We are watching the automobile market collapse. The word collapse is a great word, and the other word that comes with collapse is calamity. With the collapse and calamity under way, people think, well, as long as it doesn’t touch me, I’ll be okay or I’ll be dead, and my kids will have to deal with it. What a selfish way to deal with the Biblical times we live in. I think we are in big trouble with this banking situation that will really kick into high gear in April.”
Quale also talks about war with Russia. Is it closer that many believe? He also talks about the ongoing CV19 bioweapon/vax genocide that will end up killing millions worldwide along with killing the economy too. Quayle says people need to get ready ASAP because with all these big problems, things will turn into a calamity faster than anyone thinks.
