This is Not an April Fool’s Gag

“I’m sorry for the harsh message, but somebody needs to tell the truth.” – virologist Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche

Did you have a fabulous Transgender Visibility Day, uncluttered with any loose talk about one Jesus Christ and his travails in the Roman Levant some 2000 years ago? The Easter Bunny desisted from twerking on the White House lawn this time around, but the Party of Chaos still nailed down the vote of the .000429 percent of the population that identifies as opposite the clerical error made upon their sexual assignment at birth. All in all, this may be the last grotesque frivolity the political class indulges in for a long time to come, and I’ll tell you why.

I had the honor of interviewing the Belgian virologist Geert Vanden Bossche on Friday for my podcast, and he had quite a sobering message. “What I am predicting,” he said, “is a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death among highly-vaccinated populations with dysregulated immune systems.

Greyerz – World’s Best Kept Investment Secret is On a Tear

from King World News

It appears the world’s best kept investment secret is on a tear. Take a look at this…

World’s Best Kept Investment Secret

April 1 (King World News) – Egon von Greyerz, Founder of VON GREYERZ AG: The world’s best kept investment secret is GOLD.

– Gold has gone up 7.5X this century
– Gold Compound annual return since 2000 is 9.2%
– Dow Jones Compound annual return since 2000 is 7.7% including reinvested dividends

So why are only 0.6% of global financial assets in gold?

U.S. Records Over 1 Million Excess Deaths Among “Over 65” Age Group Since COVID “Vaccine” “Approval”

by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan

The United States has recorded over 1 million excess deaths among those over the age of 65. These deaths have all occurred after the Food and Drug Administration’s “approval” of the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

The FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on December 11, 2020, making it the first COVID-19 vaccine to receive such authorization in the United States. Following that, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine received EUA on December 18, 2020, and the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine received EUA on February 27, 2021, according to a report by The Daily Exposé.

The elderly were offered the COVID-19 vaccine first and the number of excess deaths recorded was astounding. During the first 20 weeks of 2021 150,085 excess deaths were recorded among people aged over 65’s compared to the 2015 to 2019 five-year average. Is it all just a coincidence?

New Highs For Gold, Flexner Harvesting, & What’s The Next ‘Big Event?’

Big news; gold’s new all-time high was not a currency effect; the buck was mostly unchanged, and gold/Euros climbed 3.29% to a new all-time high as well. Big Money, regardless of where it is located, appears to be racing into the yellow metal. So what’s all the fuss in gold about? Is there some kind of “event” queued up that Big Money is moving in advance of? What might it be? Some think “they” want to start a war “for real” ahead of “Election” 2024…

So what’s all the fuss in gold about? Is there some kind of “event” queued up that Big Money is moving in advance of? What might it be?

[SNIPPET from Dave’s Discussion]

Armstrong thinks “they” want to start a war “for real” ahead of “Election” 2024, since “they” believe their sock-puppet can never lose an “Election” during wartime. I do agree, I think some kind of “event” is queued up, so the little people get distracted. I believe the requirements are: 1) no Oligarchy member gets injured, 2) private jets still can fly, and 3) “they” still retain the wealth they’ve harvested over the century. Notice that the “climate change” scam meets these requirements perfectly, as did the “pandemic”. The pandemic example: “they” got IVM prophylaxis along with vitamin D, flew private, went to French Laundry restaurant, while the little people were fearporned, forced to “mask up”, were told IVM was horse paste, prevented from traveling, lost their “non-essential” businesses, and were locked down for a year.

Gold Soars to Record Highs

by Alasdair MacLeod
Gold Money

In this Easter holiday shortened week, gold soared to new highs, while silver has yet to catch up. At close of play last night in New York, gold was $2233, up $70 and silver traded at $24.94, up a net $28 cents. Volumes on Comex were healthy, rather than spectacular:

[…] Interestingly, gold’s Open Interest has declined on this bullish move when one would expect a stampede of buying. From its peak on 21 March, in five trading sessions Open Interest declined by nearly 38,000 contracts. Clearly, the Swaps category comprised mostly of bullion bank trading desks are running for cover instead of riding it out with a view to taking out flaky speculators at the first sign of profit-taking.

Fed to Offer Every Household $1 Million From Its New Discount Window

by Charles Hugh Smith
Of Two Minds

Imagine the impact of the Fed’s new policy on the bottom 50% of American households, who currently own near-zero financial assets.

The Federal Reserve announced a new program today that offers every American household a $1 million loan from its new Household Discount Window at 2% interest. Before you start planning how to spend the $1 million, there’s one catch: the $1 million can only be used to buy US Treasury bonds, notes and bills.

As disappointing as this restriction might be, it has an upside: borrowing $1 million from the Fed’s discount window will cost $20,000 in interest annually, but with Treasury bonds, notes and bills paying around 4.5% or more in short-term durations, the $1 million will generate $45,000 in income annually–a $25,000 net profit for every household.

How Many More Days Will Biden Create for LGBTQ+?

by Martin Armstrong
Armstrong Economics

The White is claiming the Republicans are making too much out of naming March 31st Transgender Day. When you look at the list of all the days LGBTQ+ has already claimed, like Lesbian Visibility Day, the problem that surfaces is that they have so many days while groups like the Irish have but one – St Patrick’s Day, while the Italians have Columbus Day. People who died in war get only one day – Memorial Day. There is only one day for the Japanese. The Germans get their Steuben Parade. The Polish get their one day – the Pulaski Day Parade.

There is Mother’s Day in May. There is Father’s Day in June. There is also Parents’ Day in July. But there are no parades, and there is no Parent’s Day Month, and now they say the very words MOTHER and FATHER are offensive.

I Guess Nancy Pelosi Shorted Apple Stock…

Schiff Sovereign

Rejoice, America, the federal government is FINALLY going to step in and fix the biggest problem of our time.

Naturally I’m not talking about the border. Or inflation. Or the national debt. Or America’s waning geopolitical power. Or the looming insolvency of Social Security. Or rising crime. Or the broken education system. Or the country’s vast social divisions.

No, those problems are nothing compared to the horrendous crisis that has swept the nation.

But fortunately, our saviors in government are going to do something about it.

The Next Breakout Charts in Silver and Gold

by Jordan Roy-Byrne
Silver Seek

Gold has broken out from a super bullish cup and handle pattern. This breakout is historically significant as it has tremendously bullish implications over the next decade.

However, Gold breaking above $2100 is not quite a risk-off signal for the entire precious metals sector. At least not yet.

The breakout has started to pull Silver and the miners higher, but Gold remains the leader.

The next signal to watch is Silver breaking critical resistance at $26.

We plot the monthly charts of Silver and Silver against the foreign currency basket below.

Russia Strikes Back, Bridge Disaster, FDA Ivermectin Lies

by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog

There was a terror attack in Moscow last week that killed at least 130 unarmed people who were out for a night of fun. Russian security services (known as the FSB) think that the US, UK and Ukraine were behind the attack. The FSB claims they paid the terrorist gunmen with crypto currency. Didn’t Sam Bankman Fried, former President of FTX, launder money through Ukraine and then give it to the DNC to use in the 2020 election? Russia is preparing for a global war against NATO. Martin Armstrong says the Deep State neocons want global war, and they are going to try to get it started between May and July, well before the 2024 Election. Money managers at JPMorgan warn Russia could strike back and push oil past $100 a barrel by Election Day. There is plenty more Russia could do to get even for this murderous attack in Moscow.

There is a lot of talk about the Baltimore bridge disaster. Many say it is terrorism, and it was possibly caused by hacking from China. No matter what you think might have caused it, the Frances Scott Key Bridge collapse is an economic disaster. The bridge carried $28 billion of goods a year, and the port, that is now closed down, imported 750,000 vehicles in 2023 alone. Maryland Governor Wes Moore said, “The bridge collapse would cause significant economic damage not only to the region but to the entire country.”

by Steve Watson
Modernity News

Joe Biden effectively doubled down on his cancelation of Easter by posting a message on social media on Easter Sunday calling for a celebration of “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Yesterday, Biden issued a proclamation declaring Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” in addition to banning religious symbols from a children’s egg art contest at The White House.

The story quickly went viral online.

Towering Giants Are Falling

by David Haggith
GoldSeek

According to Bloomberg the commercial real-estate (CRE) crisis is likely to be much, much bigger than what you hear most people talking about—bigger than they want to even think about. Bloomberg states that the collapse in value of CRE as people abandon office and retail space all across the nation plus the diminished value of bank reserves due to Fed tightening, and the higher rates of interest that CRE has to refinance at are likely to cause HUNDREDS of banks to crash.

To give you an example of the scale of troubles in CRE right now, one new study says that, within just four years, fifty percent of the downtown office space in Pittsburg could be empty! That’s halfway to a ghost town. As cities like Pittsburg board up that much office and retail space, more people move out of residential space, and more restaurants go out of business, so the collapse spreads.

Why They Want to Take Down Apple

by Jeffrey Tucker
Daily Reckoning

On May 5, 2021, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki issued a mob-like warning to social media companies and information distributors generally.

They need to get with the program and start censoring critics of COVID policy. They need to amplify government propaganda. After all, it would be a shame if something would happen to these companies.

These were her exact words:

The president’s view is that the major platforms have a responsibility related to the health and safety of all Americans to stop amplifying untrustworthy content, disinformation and misinformation, especially related to COVID vaccinations and elections. And we’ve seen that over the past several months.

“Goldilocks” is Gonna Get It

by James Rickards
Daily Reckoning

The Fed kept the fed funds rate unchanged at last week’s meeting, as I predicted.

That makes 17 Fed meetings in a row going back to March 16, 2022, when I got the Fed forecast right. Events remain uncertain from here, but it’s so far, so good for my forecasting (that’s not because I have a crystal ball but because I know how to read them).

Jay Powell’s press conference following the FOMC meeting was notable for how little was said about interest rate policy and how few questions there were from the media on that topic.

The press conference wandered into various other topics including quantitative tightening (QT), a possible taper of QT, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and Fed transparency. Those are interesting topics, but none had anything directly to do with interest rate policy.
