Market Optimism Peaks - Crash in the Cards?

When market optimism reachesdangerous heights, it typically signifies one thing: a crash will be in the cards in the not too distant future.  Many indications exist that we have begun to approach the point of peak optimism.  Both technical market indicators as well as sentiment seem to be alluding to the possibility of a long-overdue crash being in the near future.  For example, stocks have only been this highby historical terms just before previous financial bubbles have burst. 

You may have heard this before.  In fact, if you read so-called “alternative news” (aka ‘fake’ news) you have heard this meme literally hundreds of times over the last eight years or so.

Yet now, more than ever before, circumstances have primed the financial world for a collapse of epic proportions.  It now seems all but certain that sometime during the Trump presidency, we will witness this financial failure. 

Make no mistake – this has been a long, long time in the making.  Trillions of currency units created out of thin air, and many billions of monetized financial assets later, the stars have finally begun to align in such a way that signifies that time may be running out. 

There’s no telling how big this bubble will be blown before it bursts.  As host of The Keiser Report Max Keiser has said, there’s no reason the Dow can’t go to 40,000.  There will always be a higher number.

Yet money printing will not always be a solution.  Even with trillions created and pumped into the system, the world economy has only been growing sluggishly for the past eight years.  The same solution will not work next time around.

According to insider analyst Jim Rickards in his new book, Road to Ruin: The Elites’ Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis, the elite have already begun preparing for the coming crisis.  The Bank of International Settlements warned them as far back as 2014.  And they plan to pursue a different strategy this time around.

In short, the financial system will be frozen, and people will not have access to their financial assets.  Bank accounts, mutual funds, bonds, stocks, everything…it will all be out of reach.  This way, contagion will never have time to spread.  In order to solve the problems, a global currency and system will be introduced.  The powers that be want to control everything and everyone.

What ways can one prepare for this?  There are many, yet a few of the most important involve owning physical silver/gold and virtual bitcoin.  Both will serve as hedges against devaluation of fiat currency.  While the big banks have been prosecuted for massive manipulation of precious metals markets, bitcoin has been the canary in the coal mine for the collapse of fiat money. 

What will you do?  Sit back and watch as the stage gets set for world financial domination?  Or take efforts to insulate yourself and inform others?

War on Cash Escalates, Threatens Freedom and Liberty

[This post will be the first in a series on a very important topic with far-reaching implications regarding personal freedom.  As the situation evolves, further posts on the topic will be created.  Also found on: MeaningofFreedom.com]

Do you use cash to pay for things?  If so, it may only be a matter of time before you can no longer do so.

With each passing day, our society moves closer and closer to a cashless one.  And that has very dire consequences for our personal freedom and sovereignty. 

The right to have control over one’s currency must be considered paramount.  Those currency units represent the amount of time it takes to earn them.  In effect, they represent little pieces of one’s life.  Currency equals life. 

Now, imagine being denied the right to do with your life as you see fit.  Imagine it being under the control of government and banks.  Most people cannot imagine this.  Yet it has been happening, and will continue unabated if the banks have their way.

Several countries have recently made startling moves toward a cashless society.  The pace at which this agenda appears to be moving forward looks surprising to say the least. 

India, for example, has seen the war on cash come to its doors.  Its government recently banned high-denomination bank notes (see here) 

In this latest development on what has been termed “the war on cash”, absolute chaos has ensued.  People have been waiting in lines that stretch across entire city blocks just to exchange their cash for smaller notes they can spend.  Just take a look at thisshort Youtube clip: 

In South Korea, the government has decided to eliminate coins altogether, openly declaring the move to be one toward a “cashless society”.

In fact, a whole list of countriesexists that have already made significant move towards getting rid of physical money.  They remain one step away from total monetary control over their citizens lives.

The war on cash has many far-reaching implications and appears to be part of a larger plan by global central banks to centralize all capital under a single digital domain.  This allows for greater control, increased scrutiny over transactions, and total elimination of any personal financial privacy.  As we move towards a cashless society, our freedom diminishes.

As our freedom diminishes, so too does our prosperity.  America became the most prosperous nation in history because it began as the freest.  Now it seems as though everyday brings with it a new deterioration of those freedoms.  Anyone with a conscience cannot stand idly by and watch as a concerted effort by politicians, financiers, bankers, and oligarchs pushes us onward toward serfdom.    

Take a stand and fight back against this war on cash, by committing to use cash to pay for goods and services whenever possible.

What will you do?  Sit back as your liberties get chiseled away, or make any attempt possible to delay this system of control being forced upon us all by globalists and bankers?
