Brandon Smith - We're Headed For 1929 Repeat

March 7, 2021

"They want an economic disaster," says Brandon Smith. After creating an inflationary bubble in the 1920's, the Fed engineered the Great Depression by raising rates. Brandon Smith thinks this game plan may be repeated in order to impose a permanent globalist lockdown and a digital world currency.







"The only unknown at this point is how they will go about their sabotage. Will the central bank continue to allow inflation to explode the cost of living in the U.S., or will they intervene with higher interest rates and allow stock markets to crash?"


Stagflation Subterfuge: The Real Disaster Hidden By The Pandemic

by Brandon Smith

(abridged by henrymakow.com)


...Inflation or deflation?

The central bank has created a Catch 22, and many (including myself) believe that the Fed has created the conundrum deliberately. 

All central banks are tied together by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the BIS is a globalist institution through and through. The globalist agenda seeks to trigger what they call the "Great Reset," a complete reformation of the global economy and capitalism into a single one world socialist system... managed by the globalists themselves, of course.

In my view, the Fed has always been a kind of institutional suicide bomber; its job is to self-destruct at the right moment and take the U.S. economy down with it, all in the name of spreading its cult-like globalist ideology.

The only unknown at this point is how they will go about their sabotage. Will the central bank continue to allow inflation to explode the cost of living in the U.S., or will they intervene with higher interest rates and allow stock markets to crash?

Either way, we face a serious economic crisis in the near future.


INCREASING INFLATION MEANS ECONOMIC RECOVERY


Mainstream economists will often argue that rising yields and inflation are a "good thing." They claim this is a sign of rapid economic recovery. I disagree.

If "inflation" was the same as "recovery," then there would not have been total economic collapses in Argentina in 2002, in Yugoslavia in 1994, or in Weimar Germany in the early 1920s.

I do not see recovery. What I see is the rapid devaluation of the dollar's buying power due to massive fiat printing through stimulus measures. The Fed and the U.S. government are buying a short-term surge in economic activity, but at a hidden cost. This is a condition that the Dollar Index does not even begin to address, but obvious in prices of necessary goods and commodities...


LOCKDOWNS WERE A PRETEXT TO ERODE THE US DOLLAR


Let's make something clear first: The pandemic is NOT the reason for the stimulus flood. The pandemic did very little to hurt actual business in the U.S. Rather, it was the lockdowns that did most of the damage.

Think about that for a moment - federal and state governments crushed the economy through lockdowns, then offered the solution of vast stimulus measures. This in turn is destroying financial stability and generating rapid price inflation.

Conservative states and counties that refused to shut down are recovering at a much faster pace than leftist states which imposed draconian restrictions on citizens. Yet, the lockdowns did nothing to stop the spread of COVID-19 in blue states. So, the lockdowns accomplished no discernible advantage for the public, but they did give the central bank a perfect rationale to further erode the dollar.

This resulting price inflation is something that not even the red states can escape.

For example, home prices are rapidly expanding beyond the market bubble of 2006. This is partially due to millions of people participating in perhaps the largest migration in the U.S. since the Great Depression. Anyone who is able is moving away from major cities into suburban and rural areas. But, home prices also have a historic habit of inflating along with currency devaluation. The cost of maintaining and remodelling an older home, or building a new home, rises as the prices of commodities like lumber inflate.

And lumber prices are certainly inflating! Softwood lumber prices are up at least 110% from a year ago, and are climbing as much as 10% in a week.

Home rentals also do not escape inflation, as the rising cost of maintaining properties forces landlords to increase rents. The only places where rents are decreasing are major cities that Americans are seeking to flee, such as New York and San Francisco...

LOCKDOWNS ARE JUST AN EXCUSE TO CRUSH SMALL BUSINESS

This is why the COVID-19 lockdowns must continue and the pandemic fear factory must remain active. The globalists need a cover event for the Reset and they need to keep the citizenry under control, and the pandemic can be blamed for just about anything. 

This is why the media is hyping the existence of "COVID mutations." 

Do not be surprised if the Biden Administration tries to implement a national lockdown sometime this year in the name of stopping the spread of a "more deadly" COVID-19 variant.

It won't matter that the previous lockdowns were useless and all the data shows that keeping the economy open is a superior policy. It might seem like logic is going completely out the window, but there is a very logical reason for what is happening in the minds of globalists.

Stagflation comes into play through losses in certain sectors of the economy, high unemployment and the inability of wages to keep up with costs.

There is the continued dismantling of the small business sector, which, again, I believe is being destroyed deliberately. It's not a mistake that small businesses were predominantly targeted as "non-essential" during the lockdowns. It's also not a coincidence that the majority of COVID-19 PPP loans went to big box corporations while small businesses received almost nothing. The small business sector is being erased, leaving only the corporate sector to provide for consumers.

This may be why Democrats are so adamant about raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Wages are already rising according to market demand and region. The average non-skilled worker in the U.S. is making around $11 an hour. There is no need for the government to interfere, unless they have ulterior motives.

A $15 minimum wage would likely crush what's left of small businesses, and only corporations that are receiving the bulk of stimulus dollars will be able to afford to pay workers the higher rate. ...

Prices will continue to rise due to dollar devaluation, but the media and government will say that it has nothing to do with the dollar and everything to do with companies raising shelf prices to offset increased labor costs.

CONCLUSION

I suspect that the establishment will do everything in its power to distract the public from the biggest threat in the history of American society - the stagflationary time bomb.

If they admit to its existence then the public could prepare for it, and they don't want that. If Americans were to decentralize their local economies, support local small businesses instead of big box retailers, start producing necessities for themselves, and developed currency alternatives like local scrip backed by commodities... then they would be able to survive a national financial crisis.

In fact, I guarantee that any community, county or state that takes these steps will immediately be targeted by the federal government, further revealing the truth: The establishment wants the public to suffer.

They want economic disaster. They do not want people to have the option of taking care of themselves. They need people scared, desperate and malleable, or they will never achieve their Reset agenda.

I do not believe this could happen before a gun confiscation. Starving people would hunt members of the establishment down like dogs. People would wake up quickly if they got hungry and the plan is obviously a slow sleep/kill off. If they succeed at a giant gun grab it could happen.


JG said (March 7, 2021):

Never in the history of Wall Street is a crash more imminent and overdue.

When 10-year-old kids become affluent day traders, then you know this gig is about up.

If everyone becomes a day trader then you will have no one left to drive your trucks, cut your grass, or fight your wars for you anymore. Wall Street today has made a mockery of honest money.
The Fed will pull the plug on this party, and soon. Once the mega investors cash in their chips this game will be over.


Tony E said (March 7, 2021):

One of the most concise summations of the bankers plan to implement total control on a global level. The only problem I see for this diabolical plan is the resourceful nature of the human species, the USA will most likely break up and clans will form similar to medieval times. Barter and other means of exchanging goods and services will emerge.

Black markets will be commonplace, all outside the bankers control. This will not be a pretty picture, many will die, in the short term bankers will lose control, in the long term who knows? If people are educated to who and how the problem occurred in the first place, perhaps we can not repeat the same mistakes and build a better world.
