Chaos is coming:
Chaos is coming.
The world is about to get a lot scarier with a lot more conflict.
Trump was almost assassinated today.
How the Secret Service let that happen is beyond me.
If he died, a civil war happens.
We were that close to one today.
America is on the brink.
It’s a powder keg waiting to explode.
Both sides of either party are going more extreme.
More voices are being heard from the extreme right and left.
Moderate voices are losing.
Now it feels like you have to pick a side.
No matter what.
Can’t have nuance.
Must blindly agree with everything that one side says.
Once you’re there, that becomes your identity.
It is for so many people.
After this incident, it looks like Trump will win in November.
No question about it if he runs against Biden.
If that happens, Democrats might say what Trump has been saying for years - that the election is rigged.
Won’t be surprised if you start seeing more and more lies from the media.
It happened with Hunter Biden and Russiagate.
The media made Trump out to be a pariah conveniently before the last election.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden was smoking crack and doing shady deals with other countries while his dad was VP.
The American media are at the top of this pyramid.
They’re the ones who have been stoking fear for years.
Continuing to say Trump is existential to America when they’re doing the shadiest shit imaginable.
How can anyone believe after the last few months that Biden will win?
He called Zelensky Putin.
He called Kamala Harris Donald Trump.
He’s lost.
He’s confused.
He’s senile.
He’s demented.
He’s not there.
Yet the Democratic party continues to back him.
Back his genocidal policies.
Blindly supporting a genocide when the whole world is watching it.
Not a single American media outlet covered that Lancet report.
Where they expect that 186,000 Gazans have been murdered by Israel.
According to experts, that’s under-reported.
It’s very likely higher than that.
All supported by Joe Biden.
The fall of America is happening before we know it.
Similar to Rome.
Spending too much money fighting too many wars.
How the Ukraine-Russia conflict is still going on is beyond me.
It’s America using it to distract people from its problems at home.
Same with supporting a genocidal leader in Israel.
Sending billions in weapons to destroy innocent people.
Sacrificing Ukrainian boys and men for their twisted ideology.
It’s like the Roman empire.
Became too imperialist.
Moving your resources farther and farther away from you.
Like NATO moving East.
Putting too many military bases around the world.
Stoking too much conflict.
Baiting countries into the war.
The Chinese know this.
Xi said it himself apparently to Ursula Von Leyden, the head of the EU in a private meeting.
He knows America is baiting China into war with Taiwan.
He doesn’t want one.
So why does America want a world war?
Military-industrial complex.
War machine.
Neo-con liberals.
But also an excuse to print more money.
They have to.
Inflation is coming roaring back.
We’re in a fiscal dominance situation.
Look at their debt.
35 trillion.
There is no way out of that.
As the Fed Funds rate is at 5%, they’re paying a trillion plus in interest.
Once that overtakes social security and defense, they’re screwed.
No way out.
They’ve chosen to print into infinity.
If you think things are expensive now, just wait.
The same thing happened in Rome.
They started clipping coins.
Debasing the currency.
Exactly what America is doing now.
However, their dollar still has time.
It’s the least shitty currency.
The dollar will keep going sky-high while other currencies around the world fail because it’s the least shitty currency.
Look at the Japanese Yen.
Now at 160 Yen to one dollar.
Levels that no one ever thought would happen.
Everything is more expensive for the Japanese.
Why does it matter?
Because if their currency keeps going down, they will have to defend it.
How do they do that?
Sell US dollar assets.
Specifically treasuries.
What happens then?
The price of US treasuries skyrockets and banks are underwater.
They already are.
No one knows it yet.
Look at what happened in China.
40 banks disappeared over a weekend.
All got swallowed into a bigger one.
Seems similar to what happened in the US.
And what’s likely to come.
So let’s get this straight?
America is sending billions in weapons to fight two war fronts, they’re debasing their currency, they almost assassinated the leading political opponent, everyone is armed to the teeth, Biden has lost his mind, and the American media is distracting its population with bullshit?
Not good.
History tells us this has happened before.
Ray Dalio has been out there pounding the pavement about it for years.
His book, the Changing World Order, is the most important book of the 2020s.
Said it years ago and only feel stronger about it now.
If you want to understand how history works and how the current situation is eerily similar, read it.
Or check out my notes (here) and watch his summary video (here).
Dalio sees the writing on the wall.
He thinks a civil war in America is now 50/50.
If that happens, that would be insane.
Don’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen in other countries.
As goes America, usually goes the world.
History has told us that.
The decline of an empire usually means a period of massive instability and destruction.
Don’t be surprised if that happens soon.
So what can you do?
Not much.
Get educated.
Find good people.
Build community.
Invest in yourself.
It’s the best thing you can do when chaos is coming.
