VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
00:00:00:02 – 00:00:04:09
You know, the powers that be would like you to think that it is Fed
00:00:04:09 – 00:00:08:18
chair that has control over inflation But what’s been happening
00:00:09:00 – 00:00:13:12
since Nixon took us off the gold standard has been
00:00:13:16 – 00:00:20:06
the financialization of America every asset now has been turned into
00:00:20:09 – 00:00:24:06
a financial trading product for Wall Street.
00:00:24:08 – 00:00:28:09
And this should matter to you So let me show you the truth
00:00:28:14 – 00:00:32:17
of why the Fed’s controling inflation.
00:00:32:19 – 00:00:36:06
Coming up.
00:00:36:08 – 00:00:38:14
I’m Lynnette Zang, chief market analyst
00:00:38:14 – 00:00:42:18
at ITM Trading Full service physical.
00:00:42:18 – 00:00:45:07
I cannot stress that enough.
00:00:45:07 – 00:00:51:07
Gold and silver dealer specializing in custom strategies.
00:00:51:09 – 00:00:55:05
And you know, wouldn’t it have been nice if you realized the government
00:00:55:05 – 00:00:58:18
and the central bank’s strategy back in 1971?
00:00:58:23 – 00:01:02:18
And then of course, when it was legal to buy
00:01:02:20 – 00:01:06:11
physical gold again, you would have loaded up on that
00:01:06:11 – 00:01:10:18
in no time if you understood what was happening today.
00:01:10:20 – 00:01:14:14
So it’s critically important for you to have a plan and a strategy
00:01:14:19 – 00:01:21:03
because I’m going to show you their plan and their strategy right now.
00:01:21:04 – 00:01:24:10
So let’s get let’s just just get started.
00:01:24:12 – 00:01:29:00
The rising financialization of the US economy, what does that mean?
00:01:29:02 – 00:01:31:20
That means that that
00:01:31:20 – 00:01:34:20
financialization is where Wall Street
00:01:34:21 – 00:01:38:09
becomes more important than Main Street.
00:01:38:11 – 00:01:43:04
And it is critically important in the financial crisis in 2008.
00:01:43:04 – 00:01:46:04
Seven, eight, nine should have shown you
00:01:46:09 – 00:01:49:19
who the government and the central banks
00:01:49:19 – 00:01:54:21
think is the most important, because you and I did not get bailed out.
00:01:55:03 – 00:01:59:12
It was Wall Street and the banking system that got bailed out.
00:01:59:18 – 00:02:02:18
And what happened in the most recent crisis.
00:02:02:18 – 00:02:05:18
Right. Who really got bailed out?
00:02:05:18 – 00:02:07:23
It was not you or me.
00:02:07:23 – 00:02:12:17
We’ve been having to deal with the aftermath of the inflation
00:02:12:19 – 00:02:17:23
that they utilized to make things to paper over things that make things
00:02:18:01 – 00:02:21:20
look okay, while in reality what they’re really doing
00:02:21:20 – 00:02:25:22
and what these financial products really do is transfer that risk
00:02:26:02 – 00:02:32:03
from the few, from the 1%, from the powers that be to the many to the public.
00:02:32:04 – 00:02:35:18
And we are the ones that always pay.
00:02:35:20 – 00:02:37:02
Let me show you what I mean.
00:02:37:02 – 00:02:40:02
And I’ve talked about this in previous videos as well.
00:02:40:06 – 00:02:43:13
This is the financial services sector controls
00:02:43:13 – 00:02:46:13
a widening swath of the U.S.
00:02:46:13 – 00:02:49:05
economy. And here it is.
00:02:49:05 – 00:02:52:05
This is going back to 1948 40,
00:02:52:10 – 00:02:55:07
where it was a little bit more than 10%.
00:02:55:07 – 00:03:01:14
Well, now it’s closer to 25%, or at least in 2020.
00:03:01:16 – 00:03:05:13
It would be higher than that today, three years later.
00:03:05:15 – 00:03:10:09
And that 25%
00:03:10:11 – 00:03:12:09
actually controls
00:03:12:09 – 00:03:16:00
much more of the GDP in the global economy.
00:03:16:06 – 00:03:21:12
U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Data show that financial sector profits
00:03:21:16 – 00:03:27:20
and their share of GDP have skyrocketed, skyrocketed
00:03:27:22 – 00:03:30:09
since the 1970s.
00:03:30:09 – 00:03:35:10
What happened in the 1970s, our government handed over
00:03:35:10 – 00:03:41:18
full control of inflation to a private bank, the Federal Reserve.
00:03:41:20 – 00:03:43:19
Well, who benefits?
00:03:43:19 – 00:03:46:20
Because since then, everything. Everything.
00:03:46:20 – 00:03:50:01
Everything has been turned into a financial product
00:03:50:07 – 00:03:54:11
because it is so critically important that the banks make their profit.
00:03:54:15 – 00:03:56:01
Not how you and I are
00:03:56:01 – 00:03:59:23
and the prices that you and I pay, but the banks make their profit.
00:04:00:01 – 00:04:02:12
And so they created derivatives.
00:04:02:12 – 00:04:03:13
Now, look, derivatives,
00:04:03:13 – 00:04:07:10
speculative derivatives, derivatives have been around for a long time.
00:04:07:15 – 00:04:11:08
If I were a farmer and I’m planting my crops in the spring
00:04:11:13 – 00:04:14:23
and I’m not going to be able to harvest them until the fall,
00:04:15:01 – 00:04:18:10
I have no idea what the weather conditions
00:04:18:10 – 00:04:21:20
are going to be, what the water conditions are going to be.
00:04:21:22 – 00:04:24:09
If I’m going to recoup my costs
00:04:24:09 – 00:04:27:22
from planting this crop and all the costs associated with it.
00:04:28:03 – 00:04:32:09
If I’m going to make a profit, am I going to be able to stay around?
00:04:32:11 – 00:04:35:11
So a derivative for a farmer
00:04:35:14 – 00:04:38:20
insures it’s an insurance contract, right?
00:04:38:22 – 00:04:42:11
He can buy or she can buy a derivative contract
00:04:42:11 – 00:04:46:06
that ensures that they’re corn or they’re soy or whatever.
00:04:46:06 – 00:04:49:14
They’re growing, that they at least break even
00:04:49:14 – 00:04:53:13
so they can live for another day if they don’t need it.
00:04:53:15 – 00:04:55:01
Okay. It goes away.
00:04:55:01 – 00:04:56:15
It’s just the cost of insurance.
00:04:56:15 – 00:05:00:03
But if they do need it, it can save their lives.
00:05:00:05 – 00:05:01:21
Rather, what’s happened?
00:05:01:21 – 00:05:04:21
Because this can. We thank you.
00:05:05:02 – 00:05:08:02
This green line, those are end user contracts.
00:05:08:02 – 00:05:11:10
So you can see they’ve kind of stayed pretty stable.
00:05:11:15 – 00:05:16:02
But these are the speculative derivative contracts.
00:05:16:04 – 00:05:19:04
This there’s 2008.
00:05:19:10 – 00:05:23:09
So you can see quite clearly that they’re higher
00:05:23:11 – 00:05:27:04
than they were during the crisis because the banks
00:05:27:07 – 00:05:30:07
have to make a profit.
00:05:30:08 – 00:05:34:21
And the more trading products that there are and I mean, we’ve witnessed
00:05:34:23 – 00:05:37:20
through many means cryptocurrencies for one.
00:05:37:20 – 00:05:39:07
How do you create a market?
00:05:39:07 – 00:05:42:14
You know, you start getting eyes on it and you start trading it.
00:05:42:14 – 00:05:45:19
And before you know it, there is a new asset class.
00:05:45:21 – 00:05:47:20
Okay. Out of thin air.
00:05:47:20 – 00:05:49:14
And that’s how they do it.
00:05:49:14 – 00:05:53:17
But what it does is it ensures their profits.
00:05:53:19 – 00:05:59:13
In fact, this is from the most current office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
00:05:59:18 – 00:06:04:10
Derivatives in the FDIC
00:06:04:10 – 00:06:07:10
insured banks.
00:06:07:12 – 00:06:11:11
And we can see that this is this is 50% right there.
00:06:11:11 – 00:06:14:03
That red line, that’s 50%.
00:06:14:03 – 00:06:17:01
So banks actually this past quarter
00:06:17:01 – 00:06:21:19
generated over 51.7% of their profits
00:06:22:00 – 00:06:26:06
from trading these speculative derivatives.
00:06:26:07 – 00:06:31:11
And it’s taken more and more speculation to generate these products.
00:06:31:16 – 00:06:33:08
I mean, these profits.
00:06:33:08 – 00:06:39:04
And so what is that really telling you that there is a lot more risk
00:06:39:05 – 00:06:43:03
in the banking sector system.
00:06:43:05 – 00:06:44:07
And since
00:06:44:07 – 00:06:50:12
2013, they created these different products to consolidate the trades.
00:06:50:16 – 00:06:54:18
And so every single entity, whether it’s the FDIC,
00:06:54:18 – 00:07:00:16
the federal Reserve, the Bank for International Settlements, any of them
00:07:00:18 – 00:07:04:02
admit openly that no one, no one,
00:07:04:02 – 00:07:07:07
no one really knows the true value at risk.
00:07:07:12 – 00:07:11:21
When you’re looking at these charts and graphs, All you’re really seeing
00:07:11:23 – 00:07:16:23
is the market, the current market valuation
00:07:17:01 – 00:07:21:21
of these contracts, which are all count or party risk.
00:07:21:23 – 00:07:25:04
What financial asset does not run counterparty risk?
00:07:25:10 – 00:07:28:04
According to the Bank for International Settlements.
00:07:28:04 – 00:07:32:14
Gold is the only financial asset,
00:07:32:15 – 00:07:35:15
not one of two or three or four or five.
00:07:35:16 – 00:07:38:15
The only financial asset
00:07:38:18 – 00:07:41:18
that does not run counterparty risk.
00:07:41:20 – 00:07:44:19
And I think that is really significant.
00:07:44:19 – 00:07:46:22
And I want to talk to you about oil,
00:07:46:22 – 00:07:50:13
because when oil was rising so rapidly, we saw it.
00:07:50:14 – 00:07:53:14
The consumer saw it at the at the gas pumps.
00:07:53:14 – 00:07:57:20
And that was scaring a lot of people that were having trouble
00:07:58:00 – 00:08:01:14
putting food on the table and gas in their tanks.
00:08:01:16 – 00:08:03:20
So, look, oil’s wild ride.
00:08:03:20 – 00:08:08:02
Does that really indicate a true supply and demand market?
00:08:08:03 – 00:08:09:15
Of course it does.
00:08:09:15 – 00:08:15:05
Oil’s wild ride is driven by a disruptive band of bot traders.
00:08:15:11 – 00:08:16:17
What’s a bot?
00:08:16:17 – 00:08:21:01
A bot is an algorithm, an opaque group of algorithm.
00:08:21:01 – 00:08:21:16
Make money.
00:08:21:16 – 00:08:25:04
Managers have seized control of the oil market.
00:08:25:06 – 00:08:29:17
These guys have seized control of all of the markets.
00:08:29:19 – 00:08:32:18
But let’s just look at that a little bit deeper.
00:08:32:18 – 00:08:37:07
This year’s volatile price swings are being intensified by these bots,
00:08:37:13 – 00:08:41:15
According to interviews with more than a dozen traders, analysts
00:08:41:15 – 00:08:46:00
and Money Mart managers who work in the oil market.
00:08:46:02 – 00:08:50:04
They’ve roiled commodities for gasoline from gasoline to gold.
00:08:50:09 – 00:08:53:04
Sidelined traditional investors, drawn
00:08:53:04 – 00:08:57:02
the ire of OPEC and even raised eyebrows at the White House.
00:08:57:06 – 00:09:01:05
But the reality is and what they’re also saying and here is
00:09:01:05 – 00:09:05:00
that traders are the ones that are determining the prices
00:09:05:05 – 00:09:10:09
of all of these commodities and assets that you’re buying.
00:09:10:11 – 00:09:14:23
And so do you think that might have a little bit to do with inflation
00:09:15:01 – 00:09:18:10
and when inflation was obviously running rampant
00:09:18:10 – 00:09:22:20
and the prices at the gas pump were obviously going up?
00:09:22:22 – 00:09:25:22
How did that make consumers feel?
00:09:25:23 – 00:09:30:23
And 70% of our GDP, that’s all the money that flows through
00:09:30:23 – 00:09:34:20
the system is consumer spending.
00:09:34:22 – 00:09:38:08
This is frankly a very big deal.
00:09:38:14 – 00:09:40:03
This is an opaque.
00:09:40:03 – 00:09:46:06
These markets are opaque, admittedly so, and especially to me.
00:09:46:06 – 00:09:49:08
Well, not me, because I do pay attention to this, but
00:09:49:08 – 00:09:53:09
to most people that don’t pay attention, they don’t even know where to look.
00:09:53:09 – 00:09:55:21
They don’t even know how to pay attention.
00:09:55:21 – 00:09:58:04
Why isn’t that more open?
00:09:58:04 – 00:10:00:18
Why does it have to be this opaque?
00:10:00:18 – 00:10:04:01
And how does that impact you and me?
00:10:04:03 – 00:10:06:07
That’s why you don’t see a crisis
00:10:06:07 – 00:10:11:14
until it occurs, and then it’s too late to do anything about it.
00:10:11:16 – 00:10:13:22
And what they said was this.
00:10:13:22 – 00:10:15:20
I’m just going to repeat it.
00:10:15:20 – 00:10:20:05
These this opaque, opaque group of algorithmic money
00:10:20:05 – 00:10:24:10
managers have roiled commodities
00:10:24:10 – 00:10:29:03
from gasoline to gold.
00:10:29:05 – 00:10:29:20
Well, good.
00:10:29:20 – 00:10:34:19
I mean, don’t we all want computers to be determining everything?
00:10:34:21 – 00:10:39:12
And this entity is known as climate City Trading Advisors.
00:10:39:15 – 00:10:41:16
So it’s not one entity.
00:10:41:16 – 00:10:43:15
It’s a group of entities.
00:10:43:15 – 00:10:46:02
So let’s take a look at that a little bit closer.
00:10:46:02 – 00:10:48:06
And I wanted to give you that name.
00:10:48:06 – 00:10:50:16
If you need it, write it down.
00:10:50:16 – 00:10:51:21
Go into the blog.
00:10:51:21 – 00:10:54:23
You can find all of these slides on the blog and certainly
00:10:54:23 – 00:11:00:03
all of the links, but almost 60% of manage money positions
00:11:00:05 – 00:11:03:00
where CTA A’s remember
00:11:03:00 – 00:11:08:11
commodity trading advisors, that CTA is
00:11:08:13 – 00:11:12:13
were over 90% engaged.
00:11:12:15 – 00:11:15:07
So that’s almost 60% of the trading market.
00:11:15:07 – 00:11:19:06
That’s huge algorithmic trading for oil.
00:11:19:08 – 00:11:21:09
We’re just talking about oil here.
00:11:21:09 – 00:11:23:14
2023 Spike.
00:11:23:14 – 00:11:24:23
Look at this.
00:11:24:23 – 00:11:27:18
This is who’s controlling everything.
00:11:27:18 – 00:11:30:10
CTAs are loosely labeled
00:11:30:10 – 00:11:33:10
as an individual or organization
00:11:33:13 – 00:11:38:22
that advises on the trading of futures options or swaps.
00:11:39:01 – 00:11:41:06
Those are all derivatives, by the way.
00:11:41:06 – 00:11:44:06
A rose by any other name is still the same.
00:11:44:07 – 00:11:49:04
But those in the know say that most are defined by their trading strategies,
00:11:49:06 – 00:11:55:16
computer driven and rules based with a relatively limited time horizons.
00:11:55:18 – 00:11:59:07
So that means that there isn’t anybody to put the brakes on.
00:11:59:08 – 00:12:03:10
These are all algorithms and they are just going to move based upon
00:12:03:10 – 00:12:06:14
whatever is happening in the market at that moment in time.
00:12:06:18 – 00:12:11:00
But this is also what creates all of the whipsaw volatility
00:12:11:06 – 00:12:14:02
and not just that we’ve seen in the oil markets,
00:12:14:02 – 00:12:17:12
but also in the Treasury markets and the Treasury markets
00:12:17:12 – 00:12:21:07
are the flipping foundation of the global financial system.
00:12:21:09 – 00:12:23:22
How does that make you feel?
00:12:23:22 – 00:12:25:18
Because it makes me feel awful.
00:12:25:18 – 00:12:28:17
It scares me. This is why I’m in gold.
00:12:28:17 – 00:12:30:14
I don’t want to be in those markets
00:12:30:14 – 00:12:33:04
where they’re the ones that are controlling everything.
00:12:33:04 – 00:12:34:17
I want to hold it.
00:12:34:17 – 00:12:36:08
I want to own it outright.
00:12:36:08 – 00:12:37:23
I want it to be invisible.
00:12:37:23 – 00:12:41:05
I want to always have access to it.
00:12:41:07 – 00:12:45:15
But just so you can see how this has grown.
00:12:45:17 – 00:12:46:19
Right.
00:12:46:19 – 00:12:49:19
Energy sector’s up
00:12:49:20 – 00:12:54:08
three times from 2021 to 2023.
00:12:54:08 – 00:12:59:14
This is December of 2021 to July of 2023 a year.
00:12:59:14 – 00:13:01:11
What is that? A year and a half?
00:13:01:11 – 00:13:06:17
Year and a half up three times up four times.
00:13:06:20 – 00:13:11:21
This is just the top three, up four times.
00:13:11:23 – 00:13:14:06
As my grandson would say.
00:13:14:06 – 00:13:18:02
I mean, do you get that There are bots,
00:13:18:02 – 00:13:23:07
just computer algorithms that are trading these markets
00:13:23:07 – 00:13:28:22
that you put your hard earned money into through your 401.
00:13:28:22 – 00:13:30:18
K through your.
00:13:30:18 – 00:13:34:17
Annuity variable annuity through your IRAs
00:13:34:17 – 00:13:37:17
when you buy mutual funds or ETFs
00:13:37:21 – 00:13:41:09
or any of these managed products.
00:13:41:11 – 00:13:45:23
And these are traded by algorithms, not humans.
00:13:46:01 – 00:13:50:09
And this is this is really quite critical because algorithms don’t care
00:13:50:09 – 00:13:54:18
about anything other than the formulas that are put in.
00:13:54:20 – 00:13:58:16
That makes me, to be honest with you,
00:13:58:18 – 00:14:01:09
a bit uncomfortable, to say the least,
00:14:01:09 – 00:14:04:21
because these are completely opaque, opaque.
00:14:04:23 – 00:14:09:21
That’s why I always tell you I would rather be two weeks, ten years too early.
00:14:09:22 – 00:14:13:18
I don’t care how early I am, but I don’t even
00:14:13:18 – 00:14:17:11
want to be one second too late.
00:14:17:13 – 00:14:21:02
So too many people think that they’re going to magically know
00:14:21:06 – 00:14:25:13
and have the time, ability and money to get prepared.
00:14:25:15 – 00:14:27:00
Well, you don’t.
00:14:27:00 – 00:14:30:08
And if you go back to 2008, in September
00:14:30:08 – 00:14:34:00
when Lehman failed, did you know that was going to happen?
00:14:34:02 – 00:14:35:21
Or were you shocked?
00:14:35:21 – 00:14:38:08
Because I was paying very close attention.
00:14:38:08 – 00:14:41:10
Lehman’s my alma mater, and I couldn’t
00:14:41:10 – 00:14:44:10
have told you 5 minutes before it actually happened
00:14:44:11 – 00:14:49:16
that I would have believed that what happened could have happened.
00:14:49:18 – 00:14:51:02
And I don’t think.
00:14:51:02 – 00:14:52:15
Well, there are certainly people
00:14:52:15 – 00:14:55:15
that pay more attention to the markets than I do, I’m sure.
00:14:55:20 – 00:14:59:12
But most normal people do not for sure.
00:14:59:14 – 00:15:03:04
So the time to get prepared is now
00:15:03:06 – 00:15:05:16
while we still have the time
00:15:05:16 – 00:15:08:15
and the opportunity and available.
00:15:08:15 – 00:15:11:16
Kitty, because this market is drying up
00:15:11:16 – 00:15:16:00
pretty quickly, especially when we see the breakout
00:15:16:05 – 00:15:21:17
that recently happened in the spot gold contracts.
00:15:21:19 – 00:15:24:07
Well, what about something that’s an absolute
00:15:24:07 – 00:15:28:00
necessity for you and I to have, which is water.
00:15:28:02 – 00:15:29:10
We can live without oil.
00:15:29:10 – 00:15:33:12
We can walk, we can ride horses, we can ride bicycles.
00:15:33:14 – 00:15:35:23
But can we live without water?
00:15:35:23 – 00:15:37:12
No, we can.
00:15:37:12 – 00:15:40:12
If you do not have water, you die.
00:15:40:18 – 00:15:43:09
And well, let’s see. When was this?
00:15:43:11 – 00:15:45:11
eight, 20, 28,
00:15:45:11 – 00:15:49:11
21 of 2020.
00:15:49:13 – 00:15:53:21
So a little bit more than three years ago.
00:15:53:23 – 00:15:54:13
The U.S.
00:15:54:13 – 00:15:57:14
regulator welcomes a water futures
00:15:57:18 – 00:16:01:11
as a tool to manage climate risk.
00:16:01:13 – 00:16:06:23
Do you really want to be controlled by these opaque computers
00:16:07:03 – 00:16:10:17
and those that make the rules and the laws?
00:16:10:19 – 00:16:12:22
This is why Here’s the motto.
00:16:12:22 – 00:16:14:19
You guys have heard it a gazillion times.
00:16:14:19 – 00:16:16:00
You’ll hear it again.
00:16:16:00 – 00:16:19:12
Food, water, energy, security,
00:16:19:16 – 00:16:24:07
barter, ability, wealth preservation, community and shelter.
00:16:24:09 – 00:16:28:08
Get it done because you cannot live without water.
00:16:28:12 – 00:16:32:03
So now that that’s been turned into a trading asset,
00:16:32:08 – 00:16:35:04
what do you think the impact of that is?
00:16:35:04 – 00:16:37:16
Well, let’s just keep reading this.
00:16:37:16 – 00:16:42:06
The CME, which operates the Chicago Futures Exchange last week, said
00:16:42:06 – 00:16:46:09
that it would begin trading the world’s first futures contracts for water
00:16:46:15 – 00:16:52:13
tied to prices in, of all places, California.
00:16:52:15 – 00:16:53:08
Well,
00:16:53:08 – 00:16:59:02
you know, we’ve already had the experience with Enron and other entities on on
00:16:59:06 – 00:17:03:13
how California, particularly their energy,
00:17:03:18 – 00:17:07:10
their rights, have been traded away.
00:17:07:12 – 00:17:12:04
But the contracts are a really good thing.
00:17:12:06 – 00:17:12:22
Yeah.
00:17:12:22 – 00:17:15:16
Water derivatives and other investment
00:17:15:16 – 00:17:18:21
products linked to environmental, social
00:17:18:21 – 00:17:22:18
and governance factors will help stakeholder viewers.
00:17:22:20 – 00:17:24:18
There was a stakeholder.
00:17:24:18 – 00:17:26:18
those are deep pockets.
00:17:26:18 – 00:17:28:23
There are the stakeholders, not you or me.
00:17:28:23 – 00:17:31:22
Help stakeholders manage the risk
00:17:31:22 – 00:17:36:10
that is going to continue to present itself to us.
00:17:36:12 – 00:17:39:12
so it’s supposed to be a good thing for you and me?
00:17:39:17 – 00:17:41:13
Is it?
00:17:41:13 – 00:17:43:07
I don’t think so.
00:17:43:07 – 00:17:44:16
Here we are.
00:17:44:16 – 00:17:48:08
April 11, 2023.
00:17:48:10 – 00:17:50:18
So not even three years later.
00:17:50:18 – 00:17:52:14
Ground water, gold rush.
00:17:52:14 – 00:17:54:17
What a shocker.
00:17:54:17 – 00:17:57:08
I mean, seriously, banks, pension
00:17:57:08 – 00:18:01:03
funds and insurers have been turning to California’s scarce water
00:18:01:07 – 00:18:07:19
into enormous profits, leaving people with less to drink.
00:18:07:21 – 00:18:09:15
Yeah.
00:18:09:15 – 00:18:11:16
Isn’t that interesting thing
00:18:11:16 – 00:18:15:08
that just not even three short years after this
00:18:15:08 – 00:18:19:16
was turned into a financial trading product
00:18:19:16 – 00:18:23:19
that was supposed to be a good thing for stakeholders to manage risk?
00:18:23:21 – 00:18:26:01
Now, who’s really at risk?
00:18:26:01 – 00:18:26:22
You and I are.
00:18:26:22 – 00:18:30:23
If we are completely dependent upon the normal water supply.
00:18:31:04 – 00:18:32:09
We’re in trouble.
00:18:32:09 – 00:18:35:23
What have you done to ensure
00:18:35:23 – 00:18:40:17
that you always have water to drink and water to grow food with
00:18:40:19 – 00:18:45:10
and clean yourselves with and all the other very important things
00:18:45:12 – 00:18:49:14
that water provides for us, the ability to live.
00:18:49:16 – 00:18:51:09
Because here’s the truth.
00:18:51:09 – 00:18:54:01
Deeper pockets, deeper wells.
00:18:54:01 – 00:18:57:17
That’s what’s basically going on here.
00:18:57:19 – 00:18:59:21
Whoever is doing this doesn’t
00:18:59:21 – 00:19:03:13
give a damn about the small people.
00:19:03:15 – 00:19:05:23
Well, as traders, they don’t give a damn about that.
00:19:05:23 – 00:19:07:20
They only care about profits.
00:19:07:20 – 00:19:11:21
Last year, almost 1500 domestic
00:19:11:21 – 00:19:16:15
wells went dry statewide, and the state auditor reported
00:19:16:15 – 00:19:22:17
almost a million Californians had no safe drinking water in their homes.
00:19:22:19 – 00:19:28:15
Today, the people of Woodville drink bottled water.
00:19:28:17 – 00:19:29:19
So what if you have a pump
00:19:29:19 – 00:19:34:17
to your home is going to cost you more, and now you have to go out and buy water.
00:19:34:19 – 00:19:39:18
Now, I know a lot of people do buy water that creates some other things as well.
00:19:39:20 – 00:19:43:05
But my point here is everything has been turned
00:19:43:05 – 00:19:47:13
into a financial product and it’s all controlled by traders.
00:19:47:15 – 00:19:53:04
So that creates a problem for the central banks that are raising
00:19:53:04 – 00:19:57:05
or lower or lowering rates in an attempt to control inflation.
00:19:57:10 – 00:20:03:12
Because what they’re really depending upon is a true supply and demand market.
00:20:03:18 – 00:20:07:15
But what they’re really playing with
00:20:07:16 – 00:20:10:06
is Wall Street
00:20:10:06 – 00:20:13:00
and that derivatives market,
00:20:13:00 – 00:20:16:19
which again, everybody admits
00:20:16:19 – 00:20:21:12
every single governing entity admits
00:20:21:13 – 00:20:26:05
that nobody knows the true value at risk.
00:20:26:07 – 00:20:29:20
I’m going back to this one for a second.
00:20:29:22 – 00:20:33:10
Nobody knows the true value at risk
00:20:33:12 – 00:20:38:23
in these speculative derivatives in which banks and wall.
00:20:39:03 – 00:20:40:14
Well, this is just banks.
00:20:40:14 – 00:20:43:12
So it’s different for Wall Street firms.
00:20:43:12 – 00:20:49:05
Banks make 51.7% in at least in last quarter.
00:20:49:08 – 00:20:52:05
Sometimes it is closer to 100%
00:20:52:05 – 00:20:55:22
in trading revenue in all of their revenues.
00:20:56:00 – 00:20:59:00
Don’t you think that’s kind of significant?
00:20:59:00 – 00:21:03:13
Who’s more important to you on Wall Street?
00:21:03:15 – 00:21:06:11
Well, financialization
00:21:06:11 – 00:21:10:06
is where Wall Street becomes far more important than Main Street.
00:21:10:11 – 00:21:12:17
And Wall Street has one.
00:21:12:17 – 00:21:16:06
And this is another big reason why the whole system
00:21:16:10 – 00:21:20:02
has to reset,
00:21:20:04 – 00:21:22:01
because we’re at the end.
00:21:22:01 – 00:21:27:05
They’ve gotten everything or they’re about to get everything they can out of us
00:21:27:07 – 00:21:29:01
or go into a hyperinflationary
00:21:29:01 – 00:21:32:06
depression and convert into a new system.
00:21:32:08 – 00:21:35:08
And this is why community is so important,
00:21:35:14 – 00:21:40:16
because if we stand alone, there’s no one thing we can do
00:21:40:18 – 00:21:42:09
against these entities.
00:21:42:09 – 00:21:44:17
There are too powerful.
00:21:44:17 – 00:21:48:15
But if we come together, there are more of us than there are of them.
00:21:48:15 – 00:21:50:15
And we have more pocketbooks than they do.
00:21:50:15 – 00:21:51:17
They have leverage.
00:21:51:17 – 00:21:53:02
We have pocketbooks.
00:21:53:02 – 00:21:55:22
And how do you stand against them?
00:21:55:22 – 00:21:58:22
This is how you do it.
00:21:59:03 – 00:22:03:13
You take your wealth out of the system
00:22:03:15 – 00:22:08:21
and you put it in something that is real, like real money
00:22:08:23 – 00:22:14:16
that is used in every single sector of the global economy.
00:22:14:17 – 00:22:19:23
So there is always real demand and
00:22:20:01 – 00:22:24:15
not the fake demand that all of these trading contracts
00:22:24:17 – 00:22:28:14
create and the leverage that they create.
00:22:28:16 – 00:22:31:16
You hold it, you own it outright.
00:22:31:19 – 00:22:35:16
Let me show you just, you know, a few examples.
00:22:35:18 – 00:22:38:15
And understand everything has been turned into this.
00:22:38:15 – 00:22:40:14
This is from the CME Group,
00:22:40:14 – 00:22:44:09
the world’s benchmark commodity products, all in one place.
00:22:44:13 – 00:22:49:09
We’re going to make it so easy to trade, engage in multi commodity strategies
00:22:49:12 – 00:22:52:14
with one connection, one clearinghouse,
00:22:52:18 – 00:22:55:15
and one window to the world’s most liquid
00:22:55:15 – 00:22:59:03
physical futures and options markets.
00:22:59:05 – 00:23:02:16
Physical meaning oil, gold,
00:23:02:18 – 00:23:07:11
lumber, steel, food, energy.
00:23:07:13 – 00:23:10:10
Physical assets that have been turned
00:23:10:10 – 00:23:13:16
into a trading contract.
00:23:13:18 – 00:23:17:04
And since it’s cheap and it’s almost free,
00:23:17:08 – 00:23:20:23
it’s cheap and it’s nothing to move in and out of these contracts.
00:23:21:01 – 00:23:23:13
They don’t care about the ultimate outcome.
00:23:23:13 – 00:23:28:13
They don’t even really care about yours or mine, short term outcome.
00:23:28:19 – 00:23:32:04
They only care about picking up some profits.
00:23:32:06 – 00:23:36:23
And here’s an example of some of those commodities in the energy space.
00:23:36:23 – 00:23:38:15
And we all use energy.
00:23:38:15 – 00:23:43:14
You got crude oil, you’ve got natural gas, you’ve got West Texas oil.
00:23:43:18 – 00:23:49:02
So processed oil and in food, corn, soybeans, soybean, oil, oil, wheat.
00:23:49:02 – 00:23:52:03
But, you know, it’s also in sugar and cocoa
00:23:52:07 – 00:23:55:17
and coffee and everything.
00:23:55:17 – 00:24:00:03
Olive oil, everything, everything, everything.
00:24:00:05 – 00:24:03:15
And anything that is
00:24:03:17 – 00:24:07:04
a tangible assets and it’s really the
00:24:07:06 – 00:24:11:06
the traders that control the consumer pricing.
00:24:11:08 – 00:24:13:04
They can drive those prices up.
00:24:13:04 – 00:24:14:06
They can drive them down.
00:24:14:06 – 00:24:19:23
Don’t you remember what was it during the pandemic when we had minus
00:24:20:04 – 00:24:23:04
I was going to pay you, a trader would pay you
00:24:23:04 – 00:24:26:14
35 bucks for a barrel of oil
00:24:26:16 – 00:24:28:04
minus.
00:24:28:04 – 00:24:31:13
So don’t be fooled by this lie.
00:24:31:14 – 00:24:35:07
Here’s another one, which is metals contracts.
00:24:35:11 – 00:24:38:00
Okay, so what do we have? We have gold.
00:24:38:00 – 00:24:39:13
We have silver.
00:24:39:13 – 00:24:40:18
We have.
00:24:40:18 – 00:24:42:19
Well, that’s those are the two that are going to show you.
00:24:42:19 – 00:24:45:13
But it’s also copper,
00:24:45:13 – 00:24:47:12
platinum, palladium.
00:24:47:12 – 00:24:49:02
Everything. Everything.
00:24:49:02 – 00:24:50:09
Everything. Everything.
00:24:50:09 – 00:24:51:10
We are at the end.
00:24:51:10 – 00:24:53:20
Everything has been commoditized.
00:24:53:20 – 00:24:56:02
Everything has been financialized.
00:24:56:02 – 00:24:59:22
It has all been trade changed into
00:25:00:00 – 00:25:02:11
a trading product.
00:25:02:11 – 00:25:07:12
And what you’re looking at is from you’ve seen this graph like lots of times
00:25:07:14 – 00:25:12:13
from the office of the the Ocz.
00:25:12:15 – 00:25:14:10
Yeah.
00:25:14:10 – 00:25:16:13
And this is gold contracts,
00:25:16:13 – 00:25:20:04
notional amounts of gold contracts.
00:25:20:06 – 00:25:24:15
And you can see how they spiked because they changed some accounting rules.
00:25:24:17 – 00:25:29:12
But do you think that this could suppress the price and manage the price?
00:25:29:18 – 00:25:33:10
And the difference between these colors are the length of the contract,
00:25:33:12 – 00:25:36:00
but it doesn’t really matter how long the contract is.
00:25:36:00 – 00:25:39:07
Not like you have to sit or the traders have to sit and hold them.
00:25:39:09 – 00:25:42:09
All they really want to do is a pickup.
00:25:42:10 – 00:25:45:00
They only care about the profits.
00:25:45:00 – 00:25:47:20
And also I will remind you
00:25:47:20 – 00:25:52:01
that we just recently had a breakout
00:25:52:03 – 00:25:55:15
from a triple top.
00:25:55:17 – 00:25:58:07
I’ve talked about this and talked about this.
00:25:58:07 – 00:26:01:13
You can refer back to the work that I’ve done on
00:26:01:13 – 00:26:05:11
what’s happening in the gold market since December 5th.
00:26:05:13 – 00:26:07:12
This is a very big deal.
00:26:07:12 – 00:26:10:21
And what this really tells me is that traders
00:26:10:22 – 00:26:15:19
see some of the writing on the wall, and they are buying gold
00:26:15:19 – 00:26:24:00
and overwhelming the Fed’s ability to keep that price suppressed.
00:26:24:02 – 00:26:26:14
Well, which camp do you want to be in?
00:26:26:14 – 00:26:29:20
You have to decide for yourself.
00:26:29:22 – 00:26:34:20
Do you want the traders to control your wealth?
00:26:34:22 – 00:26:38:15
And and they’re all overvalued because of that, because it really doesn’t
00:26:38:15 – 00:26:39:00
matter.
00:26:39:00 – 00:26:43:14
And this era of cheap money is over, at least for now.
00:26:43:16 – 00:26:45:19
Or do you want to control it?
00:26:45:19 – 00:26:47:12
This puts you in the driver’s seat.
00:26:47:12 – 00:26:51:19
Why do you think they have to take gold out of the money system to begin with?
00:26:51:21 – 00:26:55:03
Because when we were on a gold standard, if you did not like
00:26:55:03 – 00:26:59:02
what the governments were doing, you simply walked into the bank
00:26:59:03 – 00:27:02:09
with, well, a $20 bill.
00:27:02:11 – 00:27:03:05
I got one.
00:27:03:05 – 00:27:08:02
But you walked in for a $20 bill and you walked out with an ounce of gold.
00:27:08:04 – 00:27:09:10
Well, that created
00:27:09:10 – 00:27:12:10
restrictions around what the government could do.
00:27:12:12 – 00:27:14:00
They did not like it.
00:27:14:00 – 00:27:18:11
Plus, corporations wanted to pay you less and less on a gold standard.
00:27:18:11 – 00:27:19:20
That really didn’t happen. I’m
00:27:19:20 – 00:27:24:05
not saying there wasn’t an ebb and flow, but it was simply an ebb and flow.
00:27:24:07 – 00:27:28:21
So they had to convert us to the fiat money system, which is just,
00:27:28:23 – 00:27:33:06
you know, their ability to print all that garbage.
00:27:33:08 – 00:27:33:19
Right.
00:27:33:19 – 00:27:37:09
And control the value of what
00:27:37:09 – 00:27:41:04
they were printing and take gold out of the system.
00:27:41:04 – 00:27:44:23
So governments had no limitations on the level of debt
00:27:45:01 – 00:27:49:11
that they could grow, which certainly we’re at a peak.
00:27:49:15 – 00:27:52:07
It’s a big concern.
00:27:52:07 – 00:27:55:10
But also the ability of corporations
00:27:55:15 – 00:27:59:20
to pay you less and less because nominally it looks like you’re making more.
00:27:59:22 – 00:28:05:09
But in reality, because inflation has robbed you of your purchasing power,
00:28:05:10 – 00:28:10:03
there is actually less and less value in these things.
00:28:10:03 – 00:28:12:20
In fact, officially $0.03.
00:28:12:20 – 00:28:15:08
What happens when you get to zero?
00:28:15:08 – 00:28:17:04
They tested negative rates.
00:28:17:04 – 00:28:20:14
That’s what the CBDCS will enable the central banks to do.
00:28:20:18 – 00:28:24:04
They tell us that once we have cbdcs,
00:28:24:05 – 00:28:29:02
there are no limits on how low we can push interest rates.
00:28:29:04 – 00:28:31:03
And they will
00:28:31:03 – 00:28:34:04
because they have to take and attack your principle.
00:28:34:08 – 00:28:36:10
That’s what negative rates do.
00:28:36:10 – 00:28:38:05
They get all the purchasing power.
00:28:38:05 – 00:28:39:21
Your principles next.
00:28:39:21 – 00:28:44:22
How do you fight that?
00:28:45:00 – 00:28:46:14
This is how you fight that.
00:28:46:14 – 00:28:47:17
It’s so simple.
00:28:47:17 – 00:28:51:01
Look at what the central banks are doing for themselves.
00:28:51:03 – 00:28:56:03
They’re buying gold hand over fist so that at the other side of this mess,
00:28:56:05 – 00:29:00:20
they retain choices, retain their freedom and retain control.
00:29:00:22 – 00:29:07:07
Same exact reason why you and I do it now.
00:29:07:09 – 00:29:10:22
Make sure that you watch the last video that we did,
00:29:11:00 – 00:29:15:07
which is interest on the debt bubble, because once you have
00:29:15:07 – 00:29:19:10
that going up like a hockey stick, there ain’t no getting out of debt.
00:29:19:10 – 00:29:22:08
You have to a hyper inflated away.
00:29:22:08 – 00:29:27:11
Also, you know, we have a great desk, which I know many of you are participating
00:29:27:11 – 00:29:30:19
