The Global Economy Is Crumbling Before Our Eyes.

Treat as a rumor.  Not verified.  Your opine.

 

 

 

FROM ALTERNATE SOURCES:   The Global Economy Is Crumbling Before Our Eyes.

ARTICLE:  A slow-motion collapse of the global financial system is underway & it’s by no coincidence.

 

Historians Neil Howe and William Strauss suggest we are now deep into a historical crisis cycle—what they call the Fourth Turning—a destructive period that occurs every 80 to 100 years, reshaping societies, economies & global power structures.

 

As this cycle unfolds, traditional financial systems may falter—& Bitcoin may serve as the escape hatch.

 

The “Fourth Turning” & Historical Collapse Cycles.

Howe & Strauss, in their 1997 book “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy”, proposed that history moves in four recurring generational cycles:

1- The High – A time of strong institutions & social cohesion (e.g., post-WWII boom).

2- The Awakening – A cultural rebellion against institutions (e.g., 1960s-70s).

3- The Unraveling – An era of weakening institutions & growing individualism (1980s–2000s).

4- The Fourth Turning – A full-blown crisis where systems collapse & power structures reset.

 

Past Fourth Turnings included the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression leading to World War II.  According to Howe, we entered the current crisis phase sometime between the mid-2000s & early 2020s.

 

Why Collapse Is Unfolding Now?

Several converging forces are driving the present global disintegration:

1.  Debt & Financial Instability.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, governments and corporations have become dangerously reliant on low interest rates & easy credit.  This has fueled record levels of global debt while inflating asset bubbles in stocks, real estate & bonds.  Now, with interest rates rising & debt burdens ballooning, the system is buckling.

 

2. Social Fragmentation & Institutional Breakdown:

Trust in institutions—governments, media, banks—has collapsed. Rising inequality has triggered political polarization and populist uprisings across the world. From Trump in the U.S. to Meloni in Italy, mainstream politics is giving way to nationalist and anti-establishment movements.

 

3.  Geopolitical Realignment & Superpower Conflict.

China’s rapid rise has disrupted the unipolar world order dominated by the US.  Tensions over Taiwan, trade & technology resemble the great-power rivalries of past Fourth Turnings.  The new U.S.-China standoff has already begun to fracture global supply chains & military alliances.

 

Economic Fallout & Political Risk:

In a debt-ridden world, governments typically face three choices:

-Austerity.

-Default.

-Inflation.

 

Most choose inflation—it quietly reduces debt by devaluing money.  However, this approach erodes savings, purchasing power & investor confidence.  The 2020 pandemic response demonstrated this clearly: trillions were printed & inflation surged across essential goods & services.

 

If inflation persists, governments may resort to financial repression, compelling savers to hold government bonds with negative real returns, or imposing capital controls to trap wealth within borders.

 

Simultaneously, geopolitical conflict—especially in flashpoints like the Taiwan Strait—could trigger financial panic, crash markets & cripple int'l trade. C ountries are already being forced to choose sides between Western powers & BRICS nations.

 

Strategic Positioning: What Investors Can Do:

According to financial historian Russell Napier, we are entering an era of high inflation, capital controls & sustained financial repression. Investors should expect long-term constraints on liquidity & freedom of capital movement.

1.  Bonds Are No Longer Safe.

With inflation rising, bondholders will demand higher returns.  This drives down bond prices, making once-safe government & corporate debt a liability.

2.  Shift Toward Tangible Sectors.

Infrastructure, energy, defense, manufacturing & raw materials will become focal points for state investment.  These sectors are positioned to benefit from government stimulus & national security priorities.

3.  Gold, Silver & Real Assets.

Precious metals historically outperform during inflationary periods.  Gold is increasingly seen as a reserve asset of last resort, especially if fiat currencies come under pressure.

4.  Bitcoin As A Sovereign Hedge.

Cryptocurrencies with strong adoption—primarily Bitcoin & Ethereum—may offer a path to preserving wealth in the face of monetary devaluation.  As traditional systems falter, decentralized assets could provide an exit strategy for individuals seeking monetary sovereignty.

“Only digital assets with real utility & decentralized trust will endure.  Most others will collapse,” analysts warn.

 

Conclusion: A Dangerous Decade, A Rare Opportunity:

The 2020s may bring chaos, but also transformation. History shows that each Fourth Turning ends not in total destruction, but in renewal.  After crisis comes rebirth.

 

Investors & citizens who adapt—by repositioning portfolios, securing tangible assets & exploring decentralized options—may not only survive this upheaval but emerge stronger on the other side.

Here's MZs two cents worth...Bruce thinks this is our week for sure...

 

 

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim.

THREAD:   Bruce Thinks This Is Our Week For Sure.

Member: Good morning fellow coffee drinkers & MarkZ friends & family.

Member: So what is new & exciting today Mark? Are we almost at the end?

MZ: I do think we are almost at the end. Although no one knows the exact timing. Events point as this being veery close.

Member: What are we looking for next regarding the GCR? is there any event that must occur, or are we waiting for a date to come like August 1st when tarrifs begin?

Member: Bruce thinks this is our week for sure.

Member: Praying & praying some more than Bruce is right.

MZ: Nothing fresh since yesterday on groups or bonds. Yesterday the groups side was very encouraging.

MZ: “ Al Sudani’s office publishes new details on phone call with US Secretary of State” They discussed a lot of things but Erbil was high on their list. Most of the call was about getting oil pumping from the Kurdish region.

Member: Baghdad will be paying Kurd salaries in “the next few hours” & Kurd COM came out & said they’ve agreed to resume oil so maybe today.

Member: Trump has just recently made trade deals with Japan, Indonesia & the Phillipines.

Member: With a deal with Vietnam last month. Things are getting interesting.

MZ: This is a huge one: “Trump announces Trade deal with Japan” He also talks about the deal with Indonesia. There has been a massive change in trade relations. We are watching all the countries we are interested in get trade deals. I think this is a tell tale sign.

Member: Sounds like Nesara/Gesara to me. I believe currency rates are also built into those trade deals.

Member: I have always wondered if Nesara & RV would go at the same time. I know it doesn’t have to. But it makes sense.

MZ: “Trump considering eliminating Capital gains tax on houses” It makes sense as we have a housing shortage & many people are not selling their houses because they don’t want to take the tax hit. Now we need action. Not just talk.

Member: That goes for the RV as well. Lots of talk & chatter but we need some action.

Member: We don't have a Capital Gain tax on houses in Quebec. Only secondary houses, not the main one.

Member: How about stopping All Unconstitutional Taxes? What a concept!

Member: Will we have to pay Capital Gains tax on our currency exchange?

Member: Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. No one really know until we exchange.

Member: If we could audit the Federal Reserve we would find that they have enough money to pay off our 33 trillion National Debt. We also need to audit the Treasury & Ft. Knox. Is DOGE gone now or are they still working?

Member: Maybe they are working behind the scenes?

Member: I wonder if Congress being gone on vacation make a difference or does it matter for the RV?

Member: We need to gather in prayer & plead to God for the RV to please happen soon.

Member: What does your gut say Mark?

MZ: My gut says we are almost done. So many of my sources are now looking at the week of the 28th. I am hopeful & trying not to get to excited.

Member: I’m hopeful RV for before the 28th.

Member: Thanks Mark & Mods. I hope we all have a wonderful Wednesday today.

Here's MMs two cents worth...does that make sense?

 

 

Militia Man:    Does That Make Sense?

ARTICLE:  How is it that 1310 is based off non-oil revenues, oil revenues, all the taxes & tariffs, liquid natural gas?  

$16 trillion worth of revenues supports 1310?  

Does that make any sense to you?  

It really doesn't.

Here's Clare's two cents worth...a financial blockade...

 

 

Clare:   A Financial Blockade.

Article:  "Private sources confirmed that the US has decided to completely halt cash Dollar shipments to Iraq, a move described as potentially the beginning of a “financial blockade” on some Iraqi banks involved in currency smuggling & money laundering.

 

Remarkably, the US decision coincided with a significant decline in the Dollar ER in the Iraqi market.

Experts interpreted this as a natural consequence of the restrictions on the circulation of cash & the  prevention of its smuggling abroad.

This led to an increase in supply in the local market & a temporary decline in its price."
