1/4 point bump in rates. should be more but have to have as controlled of a crash as you can get. Takes guts from people who don’t have any.

They’re figuring out how to transfer their assets to gold and fly to Switzerland before SHTF.

Every bump in basis points increases the deficit exponentially. They created this mess in monetizing the deb with short term notes. It used to be long term notes. Since they have painted themselves into the free money corner, they have no way to keep any control.

It's like a 747 over max gross weight and tail heavy. No control input can correct the stall. All the power in the engines, all the pitch inputs you can manage, but that plane can't stay in the air.

Joe, Jeff, and the entire tech sector are demanding more free money. The tech sector gets brokerage firms and investors to invest money at 2% cost. That drives up the stock price with speculation value. Earnings come from other tech companies doing the same. Wild earnings growth. Wild value growth. All they have to do is generate interest with words that I have yet to figure out? I watched the CEO of a company that makes speakers explain his 35 billion in earnings and how that was going to be a long term number.

Solyndra like nonsense with some Enron whipped cream on top.

The original idea for the existence of the Fed was that the Politicians could not be trusted directly with the creation of money, so that the most responsible (largest) cartel of bankers would be.

The Fed has completely abdicated it's independence, and just prints as much money as is needed to keep the Fed Gov's ridiculous schemes afloat.

To be specific, they buy most of the T-bills (US Federal Government Debt) in many auction cycles. I've seen some where they are buying 85% of it.

So, that's effectively ended any market pressure by other buyers on US Debt. The market mechanism for T-bills is gone.

Some have described this as "the snake eating it's own tail".

The important thing is that whatever they do—notify the insiders before any public announcement.

There is money to be made!

It’s the real Pit and Pendulum.

Each increase in the debt makes the blade drop an increment.

Each increase in rates makes the blade drop an increment.

Ever deeper into the flesh of the Beast it must slice, until the Beast is dead.

Long live Bitcoin.
