Jim Rickards - The United States Is About To Collapse - October 2nd, 2015

Jim Rickards - The United States Is Weak and About To Collapse - October 2nd, 2015







The coming collapse of the global monetary system will not have occurred by chance, no, it is entirely by design. This has been little more than a robbery. A robbery on a scale never before seen. A robbery carried out by the criminal moneylenders who hide in the shadows behind our central banks. Central banks, which when you look closely at how they actually came into being, were created after long bouts of murders, corruption, and general terrorism. You see, central banks are actually created in order to enslave entire nations within a web of debt. A web of debt which is also designed to be inescapable. A state of 'perpetual slavery'.

Would recommend both of Jim's books. He clearly understands our debt based monetary system and also appreciates Austrian economics. One issue I would take issue with is the "wrong models" of the Fed. The Fed has the right models if their intentions are to deceive and misdirect. If the name of the Fed was changed to the Bank of Rothschild, Morgan and Rockefeller the true nefarious nature of central banking would be exposed. I am sure Jim knows this but is simply being polite and diplomatic.

Jim Rickards on China's Black Monday

There Are No Markets Left In The World - Jim Rickards , all bubble burst he said










Jim Rickards – chief global strategist at West Shore Funds and author of “The Death of Money.” Jim tells us that he thinks that the depreciation of the dollar will take some pressure off the US economy but that the US economy still remains weak. His view is that the Fed has tightened into weakness as data from the Atlanta Fed shows second quarter GDP growth tracking at 0.7%. Rickards says the Fed’s data dependence would suggest it will hold its fire on rate increases. Jim also gives us his take on the future of Greece and Europe, the threat of contagion and the chances of a Greek default or Grexit.

Jim Rickards Borderline US Recession

It was a tragic scene in Philadelphia on Wednesday, a day after an Amtrak train derailed, leaving seven people dead and dozens more injured. It’s believed to be the worst accident along the Northeast corridor since 1987. While investigators are hard at work determining the cause of the crash, others are left determining how to get to and from the places that are now obstructed as a result. Boom Bust guest host Ameera David weighs in.

Then, Erin is joined by Jim Rickards – chief global strategist at West Shore Funds and author of “The Death of Money.” Jim tells us that he thinks that the depreciation of the dollar will take some pressure off the US economy but that the US economy still remains weak. His view is that the Fed has tightened into weakness as data from the Atlanta Fed shows second quarter GDP growth tracking at 0.7%. Rickards says the Fed’s data dependence would suggest it will hold its fire on rate increases. Jim also gives us his take on the future of Greece and Europe, the threat of contagion and the chances of a Greek default or Grexit.

After the break, Bianca gives us a look at other major business headlines of the day including an attempt to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, the Trans Pacific Partnership, student loan debt, and T-Mobile.

Afterwards, Ameera is joined by Lionel – Emmy-award winning news decoder, trial lawyer, and legal analyst. Lionel tells us if he thinks the Amtrak crash was a long time coming and gives us his take on why interest rates are so low.

And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison further discuss infrastructure, looking specifically at Europe and China. They also take a look the latest data out of Europe that contrasts to weak data in the US. Edward’s view is that US data weakness is not just about the consumer but a broad-based decline based on trade numbers, capital investment and inventories, putting the Fed in a bind on its desire to raise rates.

Jim Rickards - The Fed Will Start QE4 In 2015

During a recent radio interview, Rickards pointed to a recurring trend he found in the international Monetary System.

Even though the Dollar is trading against the Euro at the highest point than at any time in the last ten years, Rickards still says there is room for concern. Especially because comparing currency to the Euro doesn’t mean the same thing as it once did. Other signs of cheap oil and a global economic slowdown point toward a coming crisis that could challenge the average American’s financial resolve.

Historically, the Swiss franc has been one of the most stable currencies in the global markets. But just earlier this month, the Swiss central bank split apart from their currency ceiling with the Euro, sending it for a sharp nosedive. The Swiss central bankers and financial analysts clearly sense some kind of change in the wind, but right up until the announcement, they kept their cards very close to the vest. Several top European officials said they were very insulted that they didn’t even get so much as a heads up that such a dramatic change was coming.

Now the Euro is plummeting, the Dollar isn’t very far behind, and the global markets are full of world leaders, nervously feeling each other out, and looking for solid ground in a global economy based unstable Fiat currencies. One thing is for certain - they're harvesting precious metals found INSIDE solid ground. Keep your eyes on China, India, Brazil and Russia they’re all purchasing record amounts of gold.

Jim Rickards : $100 Trillion American Economic Collapse

You will want to remember this date - April 15, 2015

According to one of the top minds in the U.S. Intelligence Community, that is when the United States will enter the darkest economic period in our nation's history.

A 25-year Great Depression.

Does This Signal
the End of the Dollar?
25 Year Great Depression
An alarming pattern has caused many in the Intelligence Community to secretly prepare for a "worst-case scenario."
Click here to see it….
And alarmingly, he and his colleagues believe the evidence they've uncovered proves this outcome is impossible to avoid.

In an exclusive interview with Money Morning, Jim Rickards, the CIA's Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, has stepped forward to warn the American people that time is running out to prepare for this $100 trillion meltdown.

"Everybody knows we have a dangerous level of debt. Everybody knows the Fed has recklessly printed trillions of dollars. These are secrets to no one," he said.

"But all signs are now flashing bright red that our chickens are about to come home to roost."

During the discussion, Rickards shared a series of dangerous signals he fears reveals an economy that has reached a super critical state.

One of the signals the CIA is most concerned with is the Misery Index.

Decades back this unique warning sign was created for determining how close our country was to a social collapse. It simply adds the true inflation rate with the true unemployment rate.

However, the Federal Reserve has repeatedly changed the way the Misery Index has been calculated over the years. Which Rickards believes is now being used to cover up the true scope of the problem.

Long-term Economic Depression
"Today you rarely hear the government talk about the Misery Index with the public," Rickards said. "The reason is they may not want you to know the truth. And the truth is, the Misery Index has reached more dangerous levels than we saw prior to the Great Depression. This is a signal of a complex system that's about to collapse."

Frightening: Single chart reveals which banks could collapse (and how soon). If your life savings is in a major bank, please look at this now.
During the shocking interview Rickards revealed the 5 dangerous "flashpoints" the Intelligence Community is closely monitoring that they believe will unleash this catastrophe.

And he also described how it would all unfold.

"I expect the first phase will appear as a nearly instantaneous 70% stock market crash. From the outside, nobody will see it coming." Rickards explained.

"Once it becomes clear that it's not a flash crash – it's a systemic meltdown in the economy itself, that's when the gravity of the situation will sink in. And there will be no digging out from it.

"$100 trillion is a conservative estimate for the damage. A lot can happen over 25-years as our country struggles to recover from this."

JIM RICKARDS on The Currency WAR and ECONOMIC Crisis 2015



In a recent article, Rickards suggests the Federal Reserve is covering up a massive debt crisis. In fact, he says the same computer model he developed for the CIA to predict attacks around the world, that system “Project Prophecy” tells him that the Federal Reserve is doing what they can to keep the public “in the dark” about a 100 TRILLION dollar meltdown. A massive financial collapse. On his website, Rickards calls it an “unavoidable catastrophe.”

Jim Rickards : 25-Year Depression is About to Strike America

We’ve got another whistleblower in the CIA. But this time, it’s not the kind of report you might expect from the spy agency. Jim Rickards used to serve as an advisor for Financial Threat and Asymmetric Warfare. It’s a fancy name for strategy. How to use government tactics to influence global change. You might recognize his name. He’s the author of two best selling books: Currency Wars and The Death of Money.

In a recent article, Rickards suggests the Federal Reserve is covering up a massive debt crisis.

Jim Rickards on The US Dollar and the Russian Ruble

Our lead story: After a surprise interest rate hike failed to stem the run on the Ruble, the Russian currency plummeted Tuesday, sinking at one point to beyond 80 to the US dollar, losing as much as 19%. The ruble has plummeted more than 50 percent this year, even after the central bank spent more than $80 billion on intervention. Erin weighs in.

Then, Erin sits down with Rick Rule, CEO of Sprott US Holdings. Royal Bank of Canada has indicated that 35% of 2014 oil production in major and mid-sized upstream oil companies is hedged with an average price of $95.50 a barrel as of November. But only 14% is hedged for 2015. Rick tells us whether earnings in the upstream oil sector can hold up with these hedges in place. He also weighs in on where buying opportunities in the natural resources space outside of oil lie and gives us a view on what’s happening with Canadian and Russian assets.

After the break, Erin is joined by Jim Rickards, chief global strategist at West Shore Funds and author of "The Death of Money." Jim gives us a roundhouse commentary on the stresses buffeting the global markets right now. Topics include the drop in oil prices, the currency crisis in Russia, and the weakness in Chinese manufacturing data and economic growth.

And in The Big Deal, Erin and Boom Bust producer Edward Harrison discuss tail risk with an eye to fractals, power laws and fat tails. Take a look!
