The Fed Is Pulling The Plug On The Debt Bubble. 'Cyber Attacks', Followed By The Greatest Depression Are Coming
by Anthony Migchels | July 12, 2022
(Left: What a sweet little granny, our Janet Yellen.)
The Fed is raising rates aggressively. But they didn't keep interest rates close to zero for 14 years for no reason: it was because rising rates will make the Mega Debt unpayable. They say they're raising rates to 'fight inflation', but in reality, the Fed is pulling the trigger on the Debt Bubble.
The Fed first started tapering in 2018. This, as predicted, immediately led to a deflationary shock, and in September 2019, they 'had to' restart Quantitative Easing. To bail out both the banks, and the real economy, both facing a liquidity squeeze.
This came to a climax in the weekend of March 18th 2020, when they gave Wall Street $4 Trillion to at least temporarily fix their balance sheets, while they locked up 4 billion of us, to prevent a popular revolt over the bailout.

The Fed Is Pulling The Plug On The Debt Bubble. 'Cyber Attacks', Followed By The Greatest Depression Are Coming

The Fed first started tapering in 2018. This, as predicted, immediately led to a deflationary shock, and in September 2019, they 'had to' restart Quantitative Easing. To bail out both the banks, and the real economy, both facing a liquidity squeeze.
This came to a climax in the weekend of March 18th 2020, when they gave Wall Street $4 Trillion to at least temporarily fix their balance sheets, while they locked up 4 billion of us, to prevent a popular revolt over the bailout.
But they "went too far" (these fools know exactly what they're doing), creating massive asset bubbles, and rising prices in the real economy. And creating the problem, infuriating everybody faced with exploding prices (the reaction), and now implementing the solution: raising rates "to fight inflation".
But there was a reason the Fed and other Central Banks have kept interest-rates close to zero since the 2008 crunch: debt became unpayable around 2008, and to prevent an immediate mass default, they kept the cost of borrowing low.
Since then, debt has only multiplied, and with it the need for eternally low interest rates.
We have already seen what happens when the Fed tightens, in September 2019: liquidity in the economy, both financial and real, will dry up, and defaults will result, and these will in turn crunch the commercial banks.
There is simply zero reason why it won't happen again this time. The only question is when.
For now, the banks are loaded: they park about $2 Trillion with the Fed every night, they call this 'reverse repo', that's their excess liquidity, that they have been building up in preparation of what is now coming.
$2 Trillion may sound like a lot. But really, once the dominos start falling, that'll really prove to be just chump change.
The Debt Bubble: a Neutron Bomb with financial means
Never have they done this before: blowing this gargantuan $300 Trillion debt bubble with this so called 'fiat' system.
Banking has always been about keeping money scarce through Gold Standards.
For fifty years they have allowed debt, and thus money, to grow with 8% per year. And the current system needs this, anything below 8% is deflationary, leading to recessions, busts, and worse. This can be easily gleaned from graphs of M1/M2 money growth and recessions over the last few decades.
But if you have $300 Trillion debt, 8% growth means that the World has to take on $24 Trillion in new debt this year alone. Just to keep the economy functioning normally. That’s about as "unsustainable", to use a fav buzz word of theirs, as it gets. That’s about a third of World GDP. Next year it'll be $26 Trillion. Compound interest/exponential growth in full force.
The commentators are oblivious. Everybody is talking about 'inflation', nobody is asking WHY the Fed printed all those trillions two years ago. Next they go make jokes about 'what is a 1% interest rate hike going to do against 10% inflation?'.
Well, if you have a $90 Trillion debt, as the US is carrying around (State, corporate, households), a 1% rate hike means already almost a trillion per year is being taken out of the real economy per year. Sure, it takes a little time for debts to get rolled over and the new rates taking effect, but that doesn’t change the basic point.
We have already seen what carnage a 0,5% + 0,75% hike has wrought: crypto has already been all but deflated (incidentally: exactly as we predicted 18 months ago), with 72 of the 100 biggest alt coins losing more than 90%. Stocks are down almost 20%, the worst first six months on record. Real Estate is still keeping afloat, in the West anyway, not in China, but the Fed has already signaled they'll be nuking that market too. They're now saying they'll raise rates again with 0,75% this month. That'll be a total of 2% interest rate increases, meaning just having a money supply will now cost an extra 1,8 Trillion per year to the real economy. Best of luck with that.
Keep in mind there are no 'accidents' in banking. They printed too much to create the rising prices we have seen the last two years, just to have the excuse to raise rates now. Just as they started tapering in 2018, to have the excuse to start printing in 2019. They've been boosting and busting the West into servitude ever since Banking came back on the scene after the Usury Free Middle Ages. The Amsterdam Tulip bubble was back in 1637. You would think people would wise up at some point.
What is coming now to the West, the deflation of this monster $300 Trillion debt in the next five years, will be the money changers' greatest feat. It's going to leave everything in ruins, and ultimately set the stage for World War 3.
So the problem is twofold: debt can no longer grow. The numbers are simply too astronomical at this stage. Something must be done, one way or the other.
But once debt/money stops growing, there will be deflation. And deflation will cause depression. And depression will cause defaults.
And once defaults start, they’ll start cascading. A chain reaction will commence in the financial system, and ultimately the whole debt will go up in smoke.
And with the debt, the commercial banks, who are all toast. But they have done their job. The whole debt is collateralized, and the collateral will all be consolidated in the States via the Central Banks.
Yes, the Bank wants Communism, and this is how they get it.
"Cyber Attacks" and the end of the current regime
Lagarde, Powell, Yellen, they have been maintaining 'oh, no, another financial crisis is not going to happen this lifetime, we see no real problems.' Seriously. They say this. Nobody cares.
But 'Cyber Attacks'. That's the 'main concern' for 'the financial system' (Here's Lagarde, Powell and Yellen on cyber attacks).
So "cyber attacks" are how they plan to sell the coming deflationary collapse. Likely, such 'attacks' will be a huge 'national security issue'. There will be much fanfare, and it's hard to see how the current ‘leftist’/Great Reset lot is not going to get ousted. They have done everything possible to make themselves as hated as possible. Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates are not expected to 'succeed', they're just there to scare everybody in the desired direction: the right wing of the Beast.
