00:00:04:09<br \/>\nYou know, the powers that be would like you to think that it is Fed<\/p>\n<p>00:00:04:09 &#8211; 00:00:08:18<br \/>\nchair that has control over inflation But what&#8217;s been happening<\/p>\n<p>00:00:09:00 &#8211; 00:00:13:12<br \/>\nsince Nixon took us off the gold standard has been<\/p>\n<p>00:00:13:16 &#8211; 00:00:20:06<br \/>\nthe financialization of America every asset now has been turned into<\/p>\n<p>00:00:20:09 &#8211; 00:00:24:06<br \/>\na financial trading product for Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:24:08 &#8211; 00:00:28:09<br \/>\nAnd this should matter to you So let me show you the truth<\/p>\n<p>00:00:28:14 &#8211; 00:00:32:17<br \/>\nof why the Fed&#8217;s controling inflation.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:32:19 &#8211; 00:00:36:06<br \/>\nComing up.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:36:08 &#8211; 00:00:38:14<br \/>\nI&#8217;m Lynnette Zang, chief market analyst<\/p>\n<p>00:00:38:14 &#8211; 00:00:42:18<br \/>\nat ITM Trading Full service physical.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:42:18 &#8211; 00:00:45:07<br \/>\nI cannot stress that enough.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:45:07 &#8211; 00:00:51:07<br \/>\nGold and silver dealer specializing in custom strategies.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:51:09 &#8211; 00:00:55:05<br \/>\nAnd you know, wouldn&#8217;t it have been nice if you realized the government<\/p>\n<p>00:00:55:05 &#8211; 00:00:58:18<br \/>\nand the central bank&#8217;s strategy back in 1971?<\/p>\n<p>00:00:58:23 &#8211; 00:01:02:18<br \/>\nAnd then of course, when it was legal to buy<\/p>\n<p>00:01:02:20 &#8211; 00:01:06:11<br \/>\nphysical gold again, you would have loaded up on that<\/p>\n<p>00:01:06:11 &#8211; 00:01:10:18<br \/>\nin no time if you understood what was happening today.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:10:20 &#8211; 00:01:14:14<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;s critically important for you to have a plan and a strategy<\/p>\n<p>00:01:14:19 &#8211; 00:01:21:03<br \/>\nbecause I&#8217;m going to show you their plan and their strategy right now.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:21:04 &#8211; 00:01:24:10<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s get let&#8217;s just just get started.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:24:12 &#8211; 00:01:29:00<br \/>\nThe rising financialization of the US economy, what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>00:01:29:02 &#8211; 00:01:31:20<br \/>\nThat means that that<\/p>\n<p>00:01:31:20 &#8211; 00:01:34:20<br \/>\nfinancialization is where Wall Street<\/p>\n<p>00:01:34:21 &#8211; 00:01:38:09<br \/>\nbecomes more important than Main Street.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:38:11 &#8211; 00:01:43:04<br \/>\nAnd it is critically important in the financial crisis in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:43:04 &#8211; 00:01:46:04<br \/>\nSeven, eight, nine should have shown you<\/p>\n<p>00:01:46:09 &#8211; 00:01:49:19<br \/>\nwho the government and the central banks<\/p>\n<p>00:01:49:19 &#8211; 00:01:54:21<br \/>\nthink is the most important, because you and I did not get bailed out.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:55:03 &#8211; 00:01:59:12<br \/>\nIt was Wall Street and the banking system that got bailed out.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:59:18 &#8211; 00:02:02:18<br \/>\nAnd what happened in the most recent crisis.<\/p>\n<p>00:02:02:18 &#8211; 00:02:05:18<br \/>\nRight.

Everything.<\/p>\n<p>00:03:46:20 &#8211; 00:03:50:01<br \/>\nEverything has been turned into a financial product<\/p>\n<p>00:03:50:07 &#8211; 00:03:54:11<br \/>\nbecause it is so critically important that the banks make their profit.<\/p>\n<p>00:03:54:15 &#8211; 00:03:56:01<br \/>\nNot how you and I are<\/p>\n<p>00:03:56:01 &#8211; 00:03:59:23<br \/>\nand the prices that you and I pay, but the banks make their profit.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:00:01 &#8211; 00:04:02:12<br \/>\nAnd so they created derivatives.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:02:12 &#8211; 00:04:03:13<br \/>\nNow, look, derivatives,<\/p>\n<p>00:04:03:13 &#8211; 00:04:07:10<br \/>\nspeculative derivatives, derivatives have been around for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:07:15 &#8211; 00:04:11:08<br \/>\nIf I were a farmer and I&#8217;m planting my crops in the spring<\/p>\n<p>00:04:11:13 &#8211; 00:04:14:23<br \/>\nand I&#8217;m not going to be able to harvest them until the fall,<\/p>\n<p>00:04:15:01 &#8211; 00:04:18:10<br \/>\nI have no idea what the weather conditions<\/p>\n<p>00:04:18:10 &#8211; 00:04:21:20<br \/>\nare going to be, what the water conditions are going to be.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:21:22 &#8211; 00:04:24:09<br \/>\nIf I&#8217;m going to recoup my costs<\/p>\n<p>00:04:24:09 &#8211; 00:04:27:22<br \/>\nfrom planting this crop and all the costs associated with it.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:28:03 &#8211; 00:04:32:09<br \/>\nIf I&#8217;m going to make a profit, am I going to be able to stay around?<\/p>\n<p>00:04:32:11 &#8211; 00:04:35:11<br \/>\nSo a derivative for a farmer<\/p>\n<p>00:04:35:14 &#8211; 00:04:38:20<br \/>\ninsures it&#8217;s an insurance contract, right?<\/p>\n<p>00:04:38:22 &#8211; 00:04:42:11<br \/>\nHe can buy or she can buy a derivative contract<\/p>\n<p>00:04:42:11 &#8211; 00:04:46:06<br \/>\nthat ensures that they&#8217;re corn or they&#8217;re soy or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:46:06 &#8211; 00:04:49:14<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re growing, that they at least break even<\/p>\n<p>00:04:49:14 &#8211; 00:04:53:13<br \/>\nso they can live for another day if they don&#8217;t need it.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:53:15 &#8211; 00:04:55:01<br \/>\nOkay. It goes away.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:55:01 &#8211; 00:04:56:15<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s just the cost of insurance.<\/p>\n<p>00:04:56:15 &#8211; 00:05:00:03<br \/>\nBut if they do need it, it can save their lives.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:00:05 &#8211; 00:05:01:21<br \/>\nRather, what&#8217;s happened?<\/p>\n<p>00:05:01:21 &#8211; 00:05:04:21<br \/>\nBecause this can. We thank you.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:05:02 &#8211; 00:05:08:02<br \/>\nThis green line, those are end user contracts.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:08:02 &#8211; 00:05:11:10<br \/>\nSo you can see they&#8217;ve kind of stayed pretty stable.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:11:15 &#8211; 00:05:16:02<br \/>\nBut these are the speculative derivative contracts.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:16:04 &#8211; 00:05:19:04<br \/>\nThis there&#8217;s 2008.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:19:10 &#8211; 00:05:23:09<br \/>\nSo you can see quite clearly that they&#8217;re higher<\/p>\n<p>00:05:23:11 &#8211; 00:05:27:04<br \/>\nthan they were during the crisis because the banks<\/p>\n<p>00:05:27:07 &#8211; 00:05:30:07<br \/>\nhave to make a profit.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:30:08 &#8211; 00:05:34:21<br \/>\nAnd the more trading products that there are and I mean, we&#8217;ve witnessed<\/p>\n<p>00:05:34:23 &#8211; 00:05:37:20<br \/>\nthrough many means cryptocurrencies for one.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:37:20 &#8211; 00:05:39:07<br \/>\nHow do you create a market?<\/p>\n<p>00:05:39:07 &#8211; 00:05:42:14<br \/>\nYou know, you start getting eyes on it and you start trading it.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:42:14 &#8211; 00:05:45:19<br \/>\nAnd before you know it, there is a new asset class.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:45:21 &#8211; 00:05:47:20<br \/>\nOkay. Out of thin air.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:47:20 &#8211; 00:05:49:14<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s how they do it.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:49:14 &#8211; 00:05:53:17<br \/>\nBut what it does is it ensures their profits.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:53:19 &#8211; 00:05:59:13<br \/>\nIn fact, this is from the most current office of the Comptroller of the Currency.<\/p>\n<p>00:05:59:18 &#8211; 00:06:04:10<br \/>\nDerivatives in the FDIC<\/p>\n<p>00:06:04:10 &#8211; 00:06:07:10<br \/>\ninsured banks.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:07:12 &#8211; 00:06:11:11<br \/>\nAnd we can see that this is this is 50% right there.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:11:11 &#8211; 00:06:14:03<br \/>\nThat red line, that&#8217;s 50%.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:14:03 &#8211; 00:06:17:01<br \/>\nSo banks actually this past quarter<\/p>\n<p>00:06:17:01 &#8211; 00:06:21:19<br \/>\ngenerated over 51.7% of their profits<\/p>\n<p>00:06:22:00 &#8211; 00:06:26:06<br \/>\nfrom trading these speculative derivatives.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:26:07 &#8211; 00:06:31:11<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s taken more and more speculation to generate these products.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:31:16 &#8211; 00:06:33:08<br \/>\nI mean, these profits.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:33:08 &#8211; 00:06:39:04<br \/>\nAnd so what is that really telling you that there is a lot more risk<\/p>\n<p>00:06:39:05 &#8211; 00:06:43:03<br \/>\nin the banking sector system.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:43:05 &#8211; 00:06:44:07<br \/>\nAnd since<\/p>\n<p>00:06:44:07 &#8211; 00:06:50:12<br \/>\n2013, they created these different products to consolidate the trades.<\/p>\n<p>00:06:50:16 &#8211; 00:06:54:18<br \/>\nAnd so every single entity, whether it&#8217;s the FDIC,<\/p>\n<p>00:06:54:18 &#8211; 00:07:00:16<br \/>\nthe federal Reserve, the Bank for International Settlements, any of them<\/p>\n<p>00:07:00:18 &#8211; 00:07:04:02<br \/>\nadmit openly that no one, no one,<\/p>\n<p>00:07:04:02 &#8211; 00:07:07:07<br \/>\nno one really knows the true value at risk.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:07:12 &#8211; 00:07:11:21<br \/>\nWhen you&#8217;re looking at these charts and graphs, All you&#8217;re really seeing<\/p>\n<p>00:07:11:23 &#8211; 00:07:16:23<br \/>\nis the market, the current market valuation<\/p>\n<p>00:07:17:01 &#8211; 00:07:21:21<br \/>\nof these contracts, which are all count or party risk.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:21:23 &#8211; 00:07:25:04<br \/>\nWhat financial asset does not run counterparty risk?<\/p>\n<p>00:07:25:10 &#8211; 00:07:28:04<br \/>\nAccording to the Bank for International Settlements.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:28:04 &#8211; 00:07:32:14<br \/>\nGold is the only financial asset,<\/p>\n<p>00:07:32:15 &#8211; 00:07:35:15<br \/>\nnot one of two or three or four or five.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:35:16 &#8211; 00:07:38:15<br \/>\nThe only financial asset<\/p>\n<p>00:07:38:18 &#8211; 00:07:41:18<br \/>\nthat does not run counterparty risk.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:41:20 &#8211; 00:07:44:19<br \/>\nAnd I think that is really significant.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:44:19 &#8211; 00:07:46:22<br \/>\nAnd I want to talk to you about oil,<\/p>\n<p>00:07:46:22 &#8211; 00:07:50:13<br \/>\nbecause when oil was rising so rapidly, we saw it.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:50:14 &#8211; 00:07:53:14<br \/>\nThe consumer saw it at the at the gas pumps.<\/p>\n<p>00:07:53:14 &#8211; 00:07:57:20<br \/>\nAnd that was scaring a lot of people that were having trouble<\/p>\n<p>00:07:58:00 &#8211; 00:08:01:14<br \/>\nputting food on the table and gas in their tanks.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:01:16 &#8211; 00:08:03:20<br \/>\nSo, look, oil&#8217;s wild ride.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:03:20 &#8211; 00:08:08:02<br \/>\nDoes that really indicate a true supply and demand market?<\/p>\n<p>00:08:08:03 &#8211; 00:08:09:15<br \/>\nOf course it does.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:09:15 &#8211; 00:08:15:05<br \/>\nOil&#8217;s wild ride is driven by a disruptive band of bot traders.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:15:11 &#8211; 00:08:16:17<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s a bot?<\/p>\n<p>00:08:16:17 &#8211; 00:08:21:01<br \/>\nA bot is an algorithm, an opaque group of algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:21:01 &#8211; 00:08:21:16<br \/>\nMake money.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:21:16 &#8211; 00:08:25:04<br \/>\nManagers have seized control of the oil market.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:25:06 &#8211; 00:08:29:17<br \/>\nThese guys have seized control of all of the markets.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:29:19 &#8211; 00:08:32:18<br \/>\nBut let&#8217;s just look at that a little bit deeper.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:32:18 &#8211; 00:08:37:07<br \/>\nThis year&#8217;s volatile price swings are being intensified by these bots,<\/p>\n<p>00:08:37:13 &#8211; 00:08:41:15<br \/>\nAccording to interviews with more than a dozen traders, analysts<\/p>\n<p>00:08:41:15 &#8211; 00:08:46:00<br \/>\nand Money Mart managers who work in the oil market.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:46:02 &#8211; 00:08:50:04<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ve roiled commodities for gasoline from gasoline to gold.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:50:09 &#8211; 00:08:53:04<br \/>\nSidelined traditional investors, drawn<\/p>\n<p>00:08:53:04 &#8211; 00:08:57:02<br \/>\nthe ire of OPEC and even raised eyebrows at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>00:08:57:06 &#8211; 00:09:01:05<br \/>\nBut the reality is and what they&#8217;re also saying and here is<\/p>\n<p>00:09:01:05 &#8211; 00:09:05:00<br \/>\nthat traders are the ones that are determining the prices<\/p>\n<p>00:09:05:05 &#8211; 00:09:10:09<br \/>\nof all of these commodities and assets that you&#8217;re buying.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:10:11 &#8211; 00:09:14:23<br \/>\nAnd so do you think that might have a little bit to do with inflation<\/p>\n<p>00:09:15:01 &#8211; 00:09:18:10<br \/>\nand when inflation was obviously running rampant<\/p>\n<p>00:09:18:10 &#8211; 00:09:22:20<br \/>\nand the prices at the gas pump were obviously going up?<\/p>\n<p>00:09:22:22 &#8211; 00:09:25:22<br \/>\nHow did that make consumers feel?<\/p>\n<p>00:09:25:23 &#8211; 00:09:30:23<br \/>\nAnd 70% of our GDP, that&#8217;s all the money that flows through<\/p>\n<p>00:09:30:23 &#8211; 00:09:34:20<br \/>\nthe system is consumer spending.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:34:22 &#8211; 00:09:38:08<br \/>\nThis is frankly a very big deal.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:38:14 &#8211; 00:09:40:03<br \/>\nThis is an opaque.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:40:03 &#8211; 00:09:46:06<br \/>\nThese markets are opaque, admittedly so, and especially to me.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:46:06 &#8211; 00:09:49:08<br \/>\nWell, not me, because I do pay attention to this, but<\/p>\n<p>00:09:49:08 &#8211; 00:09:53:09<br \/>\nto most people that don&#8217;t pay attention, they don&#8217;t even know where to look.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:53:09 &#8211; 00:09:55:21<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t even know how to pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>00:09:55:21 &#8211; 00:09:58:04<br \/>\nWhy isn&#8217;t that more open?<\/p>\n<p>00:09:58:04 &#8211; 00:10:00:18<br \/>\nWhy does it have to be this opaque?<\/p>\n<p>00:10:00:18 &#8211; 00:10:04:01<br \/>\nAnd how does that impact you and me?<\/p>\n<p>00:10:04:03 &#8211; 00:10:06:07<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s why you don&#8217;t see a crisis<\/p>\n<p>00:10:06:07 &#8211; 00:10:11:14<br \/>\nuntil it occurs, and then it&#8217;s too late to do anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:11:16 &#8211; 00:10:13:22<br \/>\nAnd what they said was this.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:13:22 &#8211; 00:10:15:20<br \/>\nI&#8217;m just going to repeat it.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:15:20 &#8211; 00:10:20:05<br \/>\nThese this opaque, opaque group of algorithmic money<\/p>\n<p>00:10:20:05 &#8211; 00:10:24:10<br \/>\nmanagers have roiled commodities<\/p>\n<p>00:10:24:10 &#8211; 00:10:29:03<br \/>\nfrom gasoline to gold.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:29:05 &#8211; 00:10:29:20<br \/>\nWell, good.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:29:20 &#8211; 00:10:34:19<br \/>\nI mean, don&#8217;t we all want computers to be determining everything?<\/p>\n<p>00:10:34:21 &#8211; 00:10:39:12<br \/>\nAnd this entity is known as climate City Trading Advisors.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:39:15 &#8211;

00:10:48:06<br \/>\nAnd I wanted to give you that name.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:48:06 &#8211; 00:10:50:16<br \/>\nIf you need it, write it down.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:50:16 &#8211; 00:10:51:21<br \/>\nGo into the blog.<\/p>\n<p>00:10:51:21 &#8211; 00:10:54:23<br \/>\nYou can find all of these slides on the blog and certainly<\/p>\n<p>00:10:54:23 &#8211; 00:11:00:03<br \/>\nall of the links, but almost 60% of manage money positions<\/p>\n<p>00:11:00:05 &#8211; 00:11:03:00<br \/>\nwhere CTA A&#8217;s remember<\/p>\n<p>00:11:03:00 &#8211; 00:11:08:11<br \/>\ncommodity trading advisors, that CTA is<\/p>\n<p>00:11:08:13 &#8211; 00:11:12:13<br \/>\nwere over 90% engaged.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:12:15 &#8211; 00:11:15:07<br \/>\nSo that&#8217;s almost 60% of the trading market.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:15:07 &#8211; 00:11:19:06<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s huge algorithmic trading for oil.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:19:08 &#8211; 00:11:21:09<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re just talking about oil here.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:21:09 &#8211;

00:11:30:10<br \/>\nCTAs are loosely labeled<\/p>\n<p>00:11:30:10 &#8211; 00:11:33:10<br \/>\nas an individual or organization<\/p>\n<p>00:11:33:13 &#8211; 00:11:38:22<br \/>\nthat advises on the trading of futures options or swaps.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:39:01 &#8211; 00:11:41:06<br \/>\nThose are all derivatives, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:41:06 &#8211; 00:11:44:06<br \/>\nA rose by any other name is still the same.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:44:07 &#8211; 00:11:49:04<br \/>\nBut those in the know say that most are defined by their trading strategies,<\/p>\n<p>00:11:49:06 &#8211; 00:11:55:16<br \/>\ncomputer driven and rules based with a relatively limited time horizons.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:55:18 &#8211; 00:11:59:07<br \/>\nSo that means that there isn&#8217;t anybody to put the brakes on.<\/p>\n<p>00:11:59:08 &#8211; 00:12:03:10<br \/>\nThese are all algorithms and they are just going to move based upon<\/p>\n<p>00:12:03:10 &#8211; 00:12:06:14<br \/>\nwhatever is happening in the market at that moment in time.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:06:18 &#8211; 00:12:11:00<br \/>\nBut this is also what creates all of the whipsaw volatility<\/p>\n<p>00:12:11:06 &#8211; 00:12:14:02<br \/>\nand not just that we&#8217;ve seen in the oil markets,<\/p>\n<p>00:12:14:02 &#8211; 00:12:17:12<br \/>\nbut also in the Treasury markets and the Treasury markets<\/p>\n<p>00:12:17:12 &#8211; 00:12:21:07<br \/>\nare the flipping foundation of the global financial system.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:21:09 &#8211; 00:12:23:22<br \/>\nHow does that make you feel?<\/p>\n<p>00:12:23:22 &#8211; 00:12:25:18<br \/>\nBecause it makes me feel awful.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:25:18 &#8211; 00:12:28:17<br \/>\nIt scares me. This is why I&#8217;m in gold.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:28:17 &#8211; 00:12:30:14<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to be in those markets<\/p>\n<p>00:12:30:14 &#8211; 00:12:33:04<br \/>\nwhere they&#8217;re the ones that are controlling everything.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:33:04 &#8211; 00:12:34:17<br \/>\nI want to hold it.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:34:17 &#8211; 00:12:36:08<br \/>\nI want to own it outright.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:36:08 &#8211; 00:12:37:23<br \/>\nI want it to be invisible.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:37:23 &#8211; 00:12:41:05<br \/>\nI want to always have access to it.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:41:07 &#8211; 00:12:45:15<br \/>\nBut just so you can see how this has grown.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:45:17 &#8211; 00:12:46:19<br \/>\nRight.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:46:19 &#8211; 00:12:49:19<br \/>\nEnergy sector&#8217;s up<\/p>\n<p>00:12:49:20 &#8211; 00:12:54:08<br \/>\nthree times from 2021 to 2023.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:54:08 &#8211; 00:12:59:14<br \/>\nThis is December of 2021 to July of 2023 a year.<\/p>\n<p>00:12:59:14 &#8211; 00:13:01:11<br \/>\nWhat is that?

00:16:42:06<br \/>\nThe CME, which operates the Chicago Futures Exchange last week, said<\/p>\n<p>00:16:42:06 &#8211; 00:16:46:09<br \/>\nthat it would begin trading the world&#8217;s first futures contracts for water<\/p>\n<p>00:16:46:15 &#8211;

00:18:51:09<br \/>\nBecause here&#8217;s the truth.<\/p>\n<p>00:18:51:09 &#8211; 00:18:54:01<br \/>\nDeeper pockets, deeper wells.<\/p>\n<p>00:18:54:01 &#8211; 00:18:57:17<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what&#8217;s basically going on here.<\/p>\n<p>00:18:57:19 &#8211; 00:18:59:21<br \/>\nWhoever is doing this doesn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>00:18:59:21 &#8211; 00:19:03:13<br \/>\ngive a damn about the small people.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:03:15 &#8211; 00:19:05:23<br \/>\nWell, as traders, they don&#8217;t give a damn about that.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:05:23 &#8211; 00:19:07:20<br \/>\nThey only care about profits.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:07:20 &#8211; 00:19:11:21<br \/>\nLast year, almost 1500 domestic<\/p>\n<p>00:19:11:21 &#8211; 00:19:16:15<br \/>\nwells went dry statewide, and the state auditor reported<\/p>\n<p>00:19:16:15 &#8211; 00:19:22:17<br \/>\nalmost a million Californians had no safe drinking water in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:22:19 &#8211; 00:19:28:15<br \/>\nToday, the people of Woodville drink bottled water.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:28:17 &#8211; 00:19:29:19<br \/>\nSo what if you have a pump<\/p>\n<p>00:19:29:19 &#8211; 00:19:34:17<br \/>\nto your home is going to cost you more, and now you have to go out and buy water.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:34:19 &#8211; 00:19:39:18<br \/>\nNow, I know a lot of people do buy water that creates some other things as well.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:39:20 &#8211; 00:19:43:05<br \/>\nBut my point here is everything has been turned<\/p>\n<p>00:19:43:05 &#8211; 00:19:47:13<br \/>\ninto a financial product and it&#8217;s all controlled by traders.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:47:15 &#8211; 00:19:53:04<br \/>\nSo that creates a problem for the central banks that are raising<\/p>\n<p>00:19:53:04 &#8211; 00:19:57:05<br \/>\nor lower or lowering rates in an attempt to control inflation.<\/p>\n<p>00:19:57:10 &#8211; 00:20:03:12<br \/>\nBecause what they&#8217;re really depending upon is a true supply and demand market.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:03:18 &#8211; 00:20:07:15<br \/>\nBut what they&#8217;re really playing with<\/p>\n<p>00:20:07:16 &#8211; 00:20:10:06<br \/>\nis Wall Street<\/p>\n<p>00:20:10:06 &#8211; 00:20:13:00<br \/>\nand that derivatives market,<\/p>\n<p>00:20:13:00 &#8211; 00:20:16:19<br \/>\nwhich again, everybody admits<\/p>\n<p>00:20:16:19 &#8211; 00:20:21:12<br \/>\nevery single governing entity admits<\/p>\n<p>00:20:21:13 &#8211; 00:20:26:05<br \/>\nthat nobody knows the true value at risk.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:26:07 &#8211; 00:20:29:20<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going back to this one for a second.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:29:22 &#8211; 00:20:33:10<br \/>\nNobody knows the true value at risk<\/p>\n<p>00:20:33:12 &#8211; 00:20:38:23<br \/>\nin these speculative derivatives in which banks and wall.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:39:03 &#8211; 00:20:40:14<br \/>\nWell, this is just banks.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:40:14 &#8211; 00:20:43:12<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;s different for Wall Street firms.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:43:12 &#8211; 00:20:49:05<br \/>\nBanks make 51.7% in at least in last quarter.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:49:08 &#8211; 00:20:52:05<br \/>\nSometimes it is closer to 100%<\/p>\n<p>00:20:52:05 &#8211; 00:20:55:22<br \/>\nin trading revenue in all of their revenues.<\/p>\n<p>00:20:56:00 &#8211; 00:20:59:00<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you think that&#8217;s kind of significant?<\/p>\n<p>00:20:59:00 &#8211; 00:21:03:13<br \/>\nWho&#8217;s more important to you on Wall Street?<\/p>\n<p>00:21:03:15 &#8211; 00:21:06:11<br \/>\nWell, financialization<\/p>\n<p>00:21:06:11 &#8211; 00:21:10:06<br \/>\nis where Wall Street becomes far more important than Main Street.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:10:11 &#8211; 00:21:12:17<br \/>\nAnd Wall Street has one.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:12:17 &#8211; 00:21:16:06<br \/>\nAnd this is another big reason why the whole system<\/p>\n<p>00:21:16:10 &#8211; 00:21:20:02<br \/>\nhas to reset,<\/p>\n<p>00:21:20:04 &#8211; 00:21:22:01<br \/>\nbecause we&#8217;re at the end.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:22:01 &#8211; 00:21:27:05<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ve gotten everything or they&#8217;re about to get everything they can out of us<\/p>\n<p>00:21:27:07 &#8211; 00:21:29:01<br \/>\nor go into a hyperinflationary<\/p>\n<p>00:21:29:01 &#8211; 00:21:32:06<br \/>\ndepression and convert into a new system.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:32:08 &#8211; 00:21:35:08<br \/>\nAnd this is why community is so important,<\/p>\n<p>00:21:35:14 &#8211; 00:21:40:16<br \/>\nbecause if we stand alone, there&#8217;s no one thing we can do<\/p>\n<p>00:21:40:18 &#8211; 00:21:42:09<br \/>\nagainst these entities.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:42:09 &#8211; 00:21:44:17<br \/>\nThere are too powerful.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:44:17 &#8211; 00:21:48:15<br \/>\nBut if we come together, there are more of us than there are of them.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:48:15 &#8211; 00:21:50:15<br \/>\nAnd we have more pocketbooks than they do.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:50:15 &#8211; 00:21:51:17<br \/>\nThey have leverage.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:51:17 &#8211; 00:21:53:02<br \/>\nWe have pocketbooks.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:53:02 &#8211; 00:21:55:22<br \/>\nAnd how do you stand against them?<\/p>\n<p>00:21:55:22 &#8211; 00:21:58:22<br \/>\nThis is how you do it.<\/p>\n<p>00:21:59:03 &#8211; 00:22:03:13<br \/>\nYou take your wealth out of the system<\/p>\n<p>00:22:03:15 &#8211; 00:22:08:21<br \/>\nand you put it in something that is real, like real money<\/p>\n<p>00:22:08:23 &#8211; 00:22:14:16<br \/>\nthat is used in every single sector of the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:14:17 &#8211; 00:22:19:23<br \/>\nSo there is always real demand and<\/p>\n<p>00:22:20:01 &#8211; 00:22:24:15<br \/>\nnot the fake demand that all of these trading contracts<\/p>\n<p>00:22:24:17 &#8211; 00:22:28:14<br \/>\ncreate and the leverage that they create.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:28:16 &#8211; 00:22:31:16<br \/>\nYou hold it, you own it outright.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:31:19 &#8211; 00:22:35:16<br \/>\nLet me show you just, you know, a few examples.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:35:18 &#8211; 00:22:38:15<br \/>\nAnd understand everything has been turned into this.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:38:15 &#8211; 00:22:40:14<br \/>\nThis is from the CME Group,<\/p>\n<p>00:22:40:14 &#8211; 00:22:44:09<br \/>\nthe world&#8217;s benchmark commodity products, all in one place.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:44:13 &#8211; 00:22:49:09<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re going to make it so easy to trade, engage in multi commodity strategies<\/p>\n<p>00:22:49:12 &#8211; 00:22:52:14<br \/>\nwith one connection, one clearinghouse,<\/p>\n<p>00:22:52:18 &#8211; 00:22:55:15<br \/>\nand one window to the world&#8217;s most liquid<\/p>\n<p>00:22:55:15 &#8211; 00:22:59:03<br \/>\nphysical futures and options markets.<\/p>\n<p>00:22:59:05 &#8211; 00:23:02:16<br \/>\nPhysical meaning oil, gold,<\/p>\n<p>00:23:02:18 &#8211; 00:23:07:11<br \/>\nlumber, steel, food, energy.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:07:13 &#8211; 00:23:10:10<br \/>\nPhysical assets that have been turned<\/p>\n<p>00:23:10:10 &#8211; 00:23:13:16<br \/>\ninto a trading contract.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:13:18 &#8211; 00:23:17:04<br \/>\nAnd since it&#8217;s cheap and it&#8217;s almost free,<\/p>\n<p>00:23:17:08 &#8211; 00:23:20:23<br \/>\nit&#8217;s cheap and it&#8217;s nothing to move in and out of these contracts.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:21:01 &#8211; 00:23:23:13<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t care about the ultimate outcome.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:23:13 &#8211; 00:23:28:13<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t even really care about yours or mine, short term outcome.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:28:19 &#8211; 00:23:32:04<br \/>\nThey only care about picking up some profits.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:32:06 &#8211; 00:23:36:23<br \/>\nAnd here&#8217;s an example of some of those commodities in the energy space.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:36:23 &#8211; 00:23:38:15<br \/>\nAnd we all use energy.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:38:15 &#8211; 00:23:43:14<br \/>\nYou got crude oil, you&#8217;ve got natural gas, you&#8217;ve got West Texas oil.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:43:18 &#8211; 00:23:49:02<br \/>\nSo processed oil and in food, corn, soybeans, soybean, oil, oil, wheat.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:49:02 &#8211; 00:23:52:03<br \/>\nBut, you know, it&#8217;s also in sugar and cocoa<\/p>\n<p>00:23:52:07 &#8211; 00:23:55:17<br \/>\nand coffee and everything.<\/p>\n<p>00:23:55:17 &#8211; 00:24:00:03<br \/>\nOlive oil, everything, everything, everything.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:00:05 &#8211; 00:24:03:15<br \/>\nAnd anything that is<\/p>\n<p>00:24:03:17 &#8211; 00:24:07:04<br \/>\na tangible assets and it&#8217;s really the<\/p>\n<p>00:24:07:06 &#8211; 00:24:11:06<br \/>\nthe traders that control the consumer pricing.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:11:08 &#8211; 00:24:13:04<br \/>\nThey can drive those prices up.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:13:04 &#8211; 00:24:14:06<br \/>\nThey can drive them down.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:14:06 &#8211; 00:24:19:23<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t you remember what was it during the pandemic when we had minus<\/p>\n<p>00:24:20:04 &#8211; 00:24:23:04<br \/>\nI was going to pay you, a trader would pay you<\/p>\n<p>00:24:23:04 &#8211; 00:24:26:14<br \/>\n35 bucks for a barrel of oil<\/p>\n<p>00:24:26:16 &#8211; 00:24:28:04<br \/>\nminus.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:28:04 &#8211; 00:24:31:13<br \/>\nSo don&#8217;t be fooled by this lie.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:31:14 &#8211; 00:24:35:07<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s another one, which is metals contracts.<\/p>\n<p>00:24:35:11 &#8211; 00:24:38:00<br \/>\nOkay, so what do we have?

I&#8217;m<\/p>\n<p>00:27:19:20 &#8211; 00:27:24:05<br \/>\nnot saying there wasn&#8217;t an ebb and flow, but it was simply an ebb and flow.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:24:07 &#8211; 00:27:28:21<br \/>\nSo they had to convert us to the fiat money system, which is just,<\/p>\n<p>00:27:28:23 &#8211; 00:27:33:06<br \/>\nyou know, their ability to print all that garbage.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:33:08 &#8211; 00:27:33:19<br \/>\nRight.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:33:19 &#8211; 00:27:37:09<br \/>\nAnd control the value of what<\/p>\n<p>00:27:37:09 &#8211; 00:27:41:04<br \/>\nthey were printing and take gold out of the system.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:41:04 &#8211; 00:27:44:23<br \/>\nSo governments had no limitations on the level of debt<\/p>\n<p>00:27:45:01 &#8211; 00:27:49:11<br \/>\nthat they could grow, which certainly we&#8217;re at a peak.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:49:15 &#8211; 00:27:52:07<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a big concern.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:52:07 &#8211; 00:27:55:10<br \/>\nBut also the ability of corporations<\/p>\n<p>00:27:55:15 &#8211; 00:27:59:20<br \/>\nto pay you less and less because nominally it looks like you&#8217;re making more.<\/p>\n<p>00:27:59:22 &#8211; 00:28:05:09<br \/>\nBut in reality, because inflation has robbed you of your purchasing power,<\/p>\n<p>00:28:05:10 &#8211; 00:28:10:03<br \/>\nthere is actually less and less value in these things.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:10:03 &#8211; 00:28:12:20<br \/>\nIn fact, officially $0.03.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:12:20 &#8211; 00:28:15:08<br \/>\nWhat happens when you get to zero?<\/p>\n<p>00:28:15:08 &#8211; 00:28:17:04<br \/>\nThey tested negative rates.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:17:04 &#8211; 00:28:20:14<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what the CBDCS will enable the central banks to do.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:20:18 &#8211; 00:28:24:04<br \/>\nThey tell us that once we have cbdcs,<\/p>\n<p>00:28:24:05 &#8211; 00:28:29:02<br \/>\nthere are no limits on how low we can push interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:29:04 &#8211; 00:28:31:03<br \/>\nAnd they will<\/p>\n<p>00:28:31:03 &#8211; 00:28:34:04<br \/>\nbecause they have to take and attack your principle.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:34:08 &#8211; 00:28:36:10<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what negative rates do.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:36:10 &#8211; 00:28:38:05<br \/>\nThey get all the purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:38:05 &#8211; 00:28:39:21<br \/>\nYour principles next.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:39:21 &#8211; 00:28:44:22<br \/>\nHow do you fight that?<\/p>\n<p>00:28:45:00 &#8211; 00:28:46:14<br \/>\nThis is how you fight that.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:46:14 &#8211; 00:28:47:17<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s so simple.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:47:17 &#8211; 00:28:51:01<br \/>\nLook at what the central banks are doing for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>00:28:51:03 &#8211; 00:28:56:03<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re buying gold hand over fist so that at the other side of this mess,<\/p>\n<p>00:28:56:05 &#8211; 00:29:00:20<br \/>\nthey retain choices, retain their freedom and retain control.<\/p>\n<p>00:29:00:22 &#8211; 00:29:07:07<br \/>\nSame exact reason why you and I do it now.<\/p>\n<p>00:29:07:09 &#8211; 00:29:10:22<br \/>\nMake sure that you watch the last video that we did,<\/p>\n<p>00:29:11:00 &#8211; 00:29:15:07<br \/>\nwhich is interest on the debt bubble, because once you have<\/p>\n<p>00:29:15:07 &#8211; 00:29:19:10<br \/>\nthat going up like a hockey stick, there ain&#8217;t no getting out of debt.<\/p>\n<p>00:29:19:10 &#8211; 00:29:22:08<br \/>\nYou have to a hyper inflated away.<\/p>\n<p>00:29:22:08 &#8211;
