The Great Taking: How Your Assets Will Be Seized



The Great Taking is a book about how the financial system can collapse overnight and all of your assets that are not held directly with your person can be seized.

It's a pretty frightening scenario and today I want to talk about how this could happen and how realistic this is.

CENTRAL BANK COLLAPSE IMMINENT!

 


No one is a traitor to the Constitutional Republic more than both parties of Congress themselves. And no one, not even DOGE can take Congress to task. Therefore, I'm all in on gold and silver.

The Olden Days
When Gold and Silver was Money


When gold and silver was money somehow the sun came up every day, children played, businesses did business, people went to work and lived their lives.  But our ever so smart economists from the very best schools (who think loaning money to Greece is a good idea) tell us we are the "crazy" ones for wanting a stable gold backed currency and balanced budgets.

Iraqi Parliament Calls To Ditch US Dollar




The Ugly American
People are sick of being Fucked, Invaded and Sanctioned
  • Country after country is telling America to go screw themselves and are joining BRICS alliance - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.  Some of the newest members include Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE.



The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament stated that they are calling to ditch the US dollar for oil trade.

To thwart US sanctions on the Iraqi banking system, the Finance Committee of the Iraqi parliament started on January 31st, urging the sale of oil in currencies other than the US dollar.

“The US Treasury still uses the pretext of money laundering to impose sanctions on Iraqi banks. This requires a national stance to put an end to these arbitrary decisions,” the statement said. 

“Imposing sanctions on Iraqi banks undermines and obstructs Central Bank efforts to stabilize the dollar exchange rate and reduce the selling gap between official and parallel rates,” it added.

The Finance Committee reaffirmed its “call on the government and the Central Bank of Iraq to take quick measures against the dominance of the dollar, by diversifying cash reserves from foreign currencies,” as well as its “rejection of these practices, due to their repercussions on the livelihoods of citizens.”

Bank Failures, Bankruptcy and Gold





"Money" can be anything that two parties agree upon. In a more primitive society you might trade ten cows for a acre of farmland.  Cows are harder to spend so man started using gold, silver, paper money and now crypto.

A solar flare or EMP blast could wipe out crypto. But precious metals have always been there.


 


(Epoch Times)  It has been nine months since the spectacular and sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. After witnessing three of the four largest bank failures in U.S. history in 2023, the attention of the media and the markets has turned elsewhere. 

Banking crisis? It is as though it never happened. Having fallen by some 40 percent in March, the NASDAQ Bank Index has recovered to within 15 percent of its high from February. In the last few months, nearly all markets have gone on a bull run, including bank stocks. Yet, and despite the relative quiet, the banking sector is not in great shape. Here are some of the reasons why.

Banks continue to lose deposits. 

According to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance. Corp. (FDIC), U.S. banks have now lost deposits for six consecutive quarters. While the pace has slowed from the first quarter of 2023, in which nearly $500 billion of deposits were removed from the banking system, approximately $190 billion of deposits have been withdrawn in the last two quarters. 

Indeed, U.S. banks have lost a net $1.1 trillion of deposits since the beginning of 2022 when interest rates began to rise.

With customer deposits growing scarce, U.S. banks are instead relying on emergency funding lines from the Federal Reserve Banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system.

Things Are Even Doomier and Gloomier Than They Look



Peter Schiff recently appeared on Real America with Dan Ball to talk about the latest employment data and the state of the real estate market. We know there is a lot of doom and gloom in the headlines, but Peter said the situation is actually doomier and gloomier than the headlines suggest.

Dan summed it up this way:

“You just can’t keep spending more than we bring in, printing money and doing what they’re doing within the Biden administration.”

Then he asked a question: “How do I keep my head above water with all this doom and gloom, for God’s sake?”

Peter said it’s actually doomier and gloomier than the headlines suggest and pointed out the jobs data.

If you dig beneath the 999,000 private sector jobs that were created, those were almost exclusively part-time jobs. They’re low-paying jobs. They went to people who already have one or two jobs. The number of Americans working multiple jobs soared almost 400,000, I think, to another all-time record high.”



He pointed out that the economy is actually shedding manufacturing jobs, and the full-time jobs it has added are primarily in the government sector.

We lost 35,000 manufacturing jobs. All this talk about the revitalization of manufacturing is just a bunch of BS. We’re losing these jobs. These are productive jobs. They’re good-paying jobs. Instead, we replace them with more IRS agents. We hired 51,000 government employees added to the payroll. They don’t produce anything but red tape. They actually undermine economic growth. They lead to bigger deficits and more inflation.”

Dan asked about the current situation in the housing market, recalling the money he personally lost in the 2008 crash. He pointed out the insane price of homes in San Diego and wondered how anybody could afford to buy a house given the combination of high prices and rising mortgage rates. “Is there going to be another bubble pop when it comes to the housing market?” he asked.

Peter said, “Absolutely!”

The only way you can afford to buy something is that the price goes down. But the problem is when the price goes down, the banks are in a lot of trouble because that’s the collateral for these loans.”

Peter said we have a bigger problem now than we did in 2008 because banks are losing money on all of their mortgages — not just subprime.

Back in ’08, it was only the defaulted mortgages that were a problem. Now, all of them are a problem because the banks are only earning 3%, 4% on these mortgages. But the cost of money is now 5.2%. So, the banks lose money on every mortgage that is being paid. The entire banking system is completely insolvent.”

Bank closes accounts of renowned vaccine skeptic



The GOP does what is does best:
NOTHING
  • Independents and Patriots from Alex Jones to Laura Loomer to Dr. Mercola have their free speech rights and banking services taken away and the "Conservative" Uni-party GOP does nothing.
  • The Banksters have become the enforcers of the Globalist Police State.



(WND)  An old-line banking corporation has launched an attack on vaccine skeptic Dr. Joseph Mercola by closing his business account, according to a report from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The publication said it obtained copies of documents showing the accounts closed by JPMorgan Chase include those for Mercola's business, Mercola Market, officers of his company and an officer's wife.

The report explained Mercola Market is a Florida-based health business.

The reason for the closures was unspecified.



The accounts were in the names of Mercola Market, CEO Steven A. Rye and his wife, as well as CFO Amy Legaspi.

"We decided to close your accounts because of unexpected activity on this or another Chase account," the bank said in its notification letters.

A Chase official told Rye, in a voicemail, "I was told for legal reasons they cannot tell me why they are closing the accounts."

"I believe they cancelled all of the accounts because of Dr. Mercola’s (our employer) opinions," Rye told the foundation. "He … co-authored the best selling book The Truth About COVID-19 which exposed the likelihood that this virus was engineered in a laboratory funded by the NIH. He correctly predicted the vaccines would not prevent transmission or infection of COVID-19. He has been directly censored by the Biden administration and is being targeted by politically weaponized agencies."

Despite, or perhaps because of, Mercola's work to distribute accurate information about the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines, the British nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate cited him for alleged "disinformation."

That report led to him being censored on Twitter for vaccine misinformation, according to a recent batch of Twitter Files posted by journalist Paul D. Thacker, the foundation report said.

The bank failures have only just begun… PREPARE OR PERISH



(Natural News) The bank runs have only just begun. By the end of this year, the cascading collapse of the US banking system will become even more frantic, and the false promises of claiming “everything’s fine” will be overrun by the fearful shouts of the newly panicked masses who foolishly believed government lies yet again.

(Yes, the people oblivious enough to leave their fiat dollars in the banking system are largely the very same people who kept taking covid “vaccine” depopulation booster shots.)

While economically illiterate Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen promises America that some banks will be bailed out at any cost, precious metals expert David Morgan is warning Americans to diversify their assets away from centrally-controlled banks and dollars. 

Throughout history, gold and silver have outlasted the rise and fall of hundreds of civilizations and fiat currencies, and this time will be no different.

History is, predictably, repeating itself. We’ve seen this fall before, and each time, dishonest government officials tell us everything’s fine, right up until the day the collapse becomes too obvious to deny. Of course, by that time, the assets of the citizenry have been destroyed, and in-the-know government officials will have diverted whatever loot they can confiscate to their own padded pockets through a variety of means: Precious metals, crypto, new currencies and more.

Buying gold and silver trust shares to avoid the risk of bank collapse



Worthless Paper Money

The 1899 Imperial Russian bank note above is good to line the bottom of a bird cage but nothing else.

Today you don't even have to print money to devalue it into oblivion. The corrupt central banks simply add digital zeroes on the end of bank balances flooding the world with ever more worthless dollars or Euros.

The banks will not be allowed to fail. But the trillions in digital money that is being created will make Imperial Russian paper money look valuable.

The entire western financial system is a grand CON



Based on the combination bail-in / bail-out that just took place on an emergency basis in Switzerland yesterday, we now know that the entire western financial system is a grand con. They will change the rules at any moment and steal your money, just like they did to Russia in 2022 by seizing $300+ billion in Russian deposits held at western central banks. 

Yesterday, as part of the panicked, illegal bailing out of Credit Suisse, they wiped out US$17 billion in AT1 (tier-1) bonds, leaving the bond holders high and dry.

As CNBC reports, “The $17 billion wipeout of Credit Suisse bondholders has not gone down well in Europe.”

One section of Credit Suisse’s bondholders is set to be wiped out following the struggling bank’s takeover by UBS, causing them to see investments worth 16 billion Swiss francs ($17 billion) become worthless. The Swiss regulator FINMA announced Sunday that the so-called additional tier-one bonds, which are widely regarded as relatively risky investments, will be written to zero as part of the deal.

The message to the financial world is crystal clear: Your money isn’t safe in any western bank, not in Europe, America, Canada or anywhere.

Summary:

– The Credit Suisse BAIL IN wipes out $17 billion in bond value
– Swiss government liquidity adds BAIL OUT factor to UBS acquisition
– Global financial crisis began in crypto, moved to Silicon Valley and spread to Europe
– The entire western financial system is headed for catastrophe
– Janet Yellen says the government will CHOOSE which banks survive and which ones fail
– Only the WOKE banks will be bailed out in order to keep WOKE startups alive
– Most SVB startups were focused on WOKE topics like climate change
– All deposits and financial instruments have counter party risk
– Only things you physically control have no counter party risk:
– Gold, silver, land, food, ammo, etc.
– Where to hide your gold with certainty that no one will mess with it
– As the collapse accelerates, people will become even MORE desperate
– As the banks fail, chaos will prevail

Emergency loans to banks spike by 3,000%



After the 2008 financial crisis Americans were told that a law passed by Congress expanding federal authority over the financial industry and creating an all-powerful new federal agency — the Consumer Financial Protection Board — that we’d never have another problem.

This week saw a record-breaking spike in bank borrowing from the US Federal Reserve, with a total of $153 billion borrowed. This surpasses the previous peak during the 2008 financial crisis, and highlights the urgency of banks’ need for liquidity. The unprecedented borrowing was made through the Fed’s discount window, which provides 90-day loans to banks at the current policy rate of 4.75 percent, which has risen steeply over the past year.



The sharp increase in borrowing can be attributed to the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. This has fueled concerns that a wider banking crisis could impact smaller and mid-sized US banks, the UK’s Daily Mail has reported.

The recipients of the funding provided by the Fed were not disclosed, and the number of banks that applied for the loans was not specified. Banks can access primary credit through the Fed’s discount window, and are allowed to provide a diverse range of assets as collateral, such as loan portfolios, as well as long-term securities like Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, the outlet’s report continued.

Fed to inject up to $2 TRILLION into collapsing US banking system

Banks are SHUTTING DOWN (People Losing Their Money)




Fucked By The Federal Reserve
  • The Fed sucked off both Trump and Biden and printed trillions to pump up & overheat the economy. Now the Fed is deliberately tanking the economy.
  • Will this be the trigger to collapse the banks?



The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is a signal that a Banking Crisis and Depression could hit the US economy in 2023. And the Fed is to blame. Because over the last six months Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve have been sucking money out of the system. The growth in Money Supply (M2) is now officially contracting. Something that has only happened 4 times before in US History. Each time it has happened there was a resulting Depression and Banking Crisis. But what makes the current environment in 2023 even more concerning is that the Fed removed Reserve Requirements for banks during the pandemic. And have not reinstated them. Normally the reserve requirement is 10%. Meaning that the Federal Reserve is not requiring banks to hold cash reserves right now. Something that can cause a banking crisis like we're seeing at Silicon Valley Bank. And something that could also trigger a more widespread depression. Because every time the money supply has contracted over the last 150 years (only 4 times), a deflationary depression has followed.



The Banking Collapse Has Begun







US has a zombie economy



The Zombie Economy
  • The U.S. sits on a 500 mile high mountain of debt. Meanwhile the BRICS nations are moving toward a currency backed by a Gold Style Standard.
  • There will be a trigger event imploding the dollar. Maybe it just happened with the collapse of Silicone Valley Bank - - - - or maybe it happens next month. Be ready.


(Natural News) For Health Ranger Mike Adams, the American economy in its current state is just a zombie economy. Consumer demand is collapsing, and individuals and businesses alike are being driven by stimulus money or funds given by the government to keep the economy going.

“It’s a zombie stock market. It’s a reanimated financial zombie. It is not a functioning system,” Adams said during the September 18 edition of “Health Ranger Report: Situation Update.” In reality, he added, people are running out of money and the stock market has been propped up by the Federal Reserve by printing money to buy stocks.

The Health Ranger pointed out that the U.S. has a zombie economy where the Fed prints money and hands it to people to buy stuff. But even this move can’t keep the corporations propped up enough, so the Fed buys the stocks of the corporations to prevent their stock prices from crashing.

“But in the real world, real economic activity is collapsing across the board and various sectors are greatly impacted by the currency crash,” said Adams. People are aware that everybody is running out of money. Even the stimulus money has run out.

The Health Ranger, a well-known prepper, reminded his podcast listeners to prepare and find valuable things to invest in before the entire money system collapses into oblivion. Because when that time comes, the banks will have bail-ins and will not allow their clients to take out their savings.

“I do not want to have any cash in the banks when the music stops. We’re going to lose all that cash. The bank will give it back to you slowly over time as the dollar just collapses in value. So basically, it’s gone,” Adams pointed out.

He recommended buying gold and silver, land and some other hard assets.

Central Banks Are On A Gold Buying Spree




Distracting The Sheeple
  • While banks around the world stock up on gold, the Sheeple are distracted by the controlled media machine to focus on evil Russians or meaningless politics.
  • Simply, what do the banks know about the economy that they are keeping from us?



(Zerohedge)  In January 2023, Singapore’s central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) returned to gold buying again, adding a massive 44.6 tonnes of gold to its official reserves, and thereby boosting Singapore’s gold holdings from 153.8 tonnes to 198.4 tonnes.

In percentage terms, this gold buying represents an incredible 29% increase in Singapore’s gold holdings in just one month. In fact, this is Singapore’s second largest largest gold purchase ever in one month, the only gold purchase that was larger was when Singapore first bought 100 tonnes of gold from South Africa in 1968.


71 tonnes in less than 2 Years


This is the second major gold buying spree by Singapore’s MAS in less than 2 years. The last time Singapore added to its monetary gold reserves was over a 2-month period between May and June 2021, when it bought 26.35 tonnes of gold over the two months, of which 16.4 tonnes was in May 2021 and 9.95 tonnes in June 2021. 

Those additions took Singapore’s gold holdings from 127.42 tonnes to 153.76 tonnes.

Central Banks Continue Gold Buying Spree



(Yahoo Finance)  After charting the highest level of net gold purchases on record in 2022, central banks started out 2023 right where they left off.

Central banks globally added another net 77 tons to their gold reserves in January, according to the latest data compiled by the World Gold Council.

It was a 192% month-on-month increase from December and above the 20-60 ton range of reported purchases we’ve seen over the last 10 consecutive months of net buying.



A late report of a 45-ton gold purchase by Singapore in January bumped the numbers up from the initially reported 31 tons.

The Central Bank of Turkey was the biggest buyer in 2022 and continued to add gold to its reserves with another 23-ton purchase in January. Turkey now holds 565 tons of gold.

The country has been battling rampant inflation. Price inflation accelerated to as high as 85% last year and was at 64% in December. The Turkish lira depreciated by almost 30% last year.  Meanwhile, the price of gold in lira terms increased by 40% on an annual basis, according to Bloomberg.

China reported another 14.9-ton increase in its gold reserves on top of the 62 tons reported between November and December 2022.

The Chinese central bank accumulated 1,448 tons of gold between 2002 and 2019, and then suddenly went silent until it resumed reporting in November 2022. Many speculate that the Chinese continued to add gold to its holdings off the books during those silent years.

There has always been speculation that China holds far more gold than it officially reveals. As Jim Rickards pointed out on Mises Daily back in 2015, many people speculate that China keeps several thousand tons of gold “off the books” in a separate entity called the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (SAFE).
