** 07-Nov-2023 World View: James G Rickards



I've heard the name, but I don't know
much about him. I just googled him, and
he seems to have a variety of mainstream
opinions. Do you have a specific issue
with him?

He's a sharp guy but is one who sells newsletters and has been doom-slinging for over 10 years now as an "insider" - or someone who formerly worked with the gov't and intelligence agencies. You can see his recent 2024 predictions on youtube videos, which he hadn't appeared (as interviewee) in for a long time. He's written several books, most of which are also doom-ish. I have my own "doomy" predictions but they are a bit different from his or yours, for example.

He's not sharp at all. I've been watching him on and off for over 10 years.

In one interview, Jim Rickards said "South Korea had a draconian lockdown during the Covid pandemic."

Not true. There was no lockdown in South Korea. That is typical of JR's knowledge and insight. Rickards is out to sell books and gold bullion. He has been predicting total collapse for more than a decade. He is just another YouTube charlatan.

Make a handle, we can't have a discussion. Also, if you don't read my post, where I say he is a doom newsletter seller, and state the same thing but in a different way, you add no value. So overall, your post was no value except a claim that he doesn't know what happened in S. Korea.

Thanks for little to nothing.

Saw it on Zerohedge but pasting the original story link. We seem to find ourselves semi-engaged with Iran. Although they are being a bit more direct with their actions. Any of our regular posters have thoughts on Iran's endgame for this? Regional prestige, boosting patriotism ar home, honest desire to draw everyone possible into a kinetic confrontation so as to kick off WW3?

The larger powers have wanted Iran-Israel for some time now. I'm not sure we're ready just yet.

Iran is mostly a cyberattack threat to the US. If you didn't know, the third largest mortgage handler in the US just got hacked. We are in huge cyber and information wars, and will continue to be, that's why the hot war part of thing isn't really all that relevant. Yet.

US money supply is shrinking (M2) first time in 90 years(1933)--signalling a deflationary spiral.

You called it, John.

Thanks for nothing CB.

This coming from a guy who plans on using BTC after a nuclear war...

I’m curious what the change in M2 as it relates to trend (what the supply would have been without the injections) it might be that even with the decline that we are still above trend and that would be a substantive difference from previous M2 contractions. If so, that would seemingly skew a forecast.

This site is funny in that it can be majorly sycophantic. John got the deflation call wrong, as did many other "experts" who have held bonds for the past few years and got their arses whooped. Inflation held, as I said it would. I also said they'd try to claim victory after being wrong because a crisis or Fed maneuvering (such as now) would purposely cause a recession or more. And that's exactly what has happened.

Of course, BTC to all time highs, but you guys won't be there, so why do you care?

I don't know why you post stuff like
this, which is idiotic at multiple
levels.

This is as correct today as it was a
year ago.

As for bitcoin, the all-time high price
was $68,789.63, so the price has fallen
almost 50% since then.

By the way, in 1635, the price of a
tulip was about 5,000 florins
($750,000), and they were being bought
and sold on the Stock Exchange of
Amsterdam. in January 1637 in Holland,
at the height of tulipomania, the price
had doubled to 10,000 florins. As we
know, the crash began in February, and
by the end of 1637, the price of a tulip
was just a few florins.

In January 1637, people thought that the
price of a tulip would rise forever.
"If something can't go on forever, then
it won't."

That's not at all what we said "massive hyperinflation."

I recall Tom and I posting multiple times about how wrong you were, and still are. We have only seen inflation for years now, the only change is the rate of change of that inflation.

Of course, you then distract to talk about BTC, which is fine, because it's going to be your biggest fail. That's ok, since it won't matter for you anyway. But for others, there are reasons why older people can't see it, and it's classic.

Of course, you won't post when it goes to All Time Highs and say you are wrong. Howlong does the network have to keep going, and increase in value over time until you claim "it can't last"? LOL. Will you be a bear/tuliptard/dinosaur when it goes to six figures next year or in 2025? I often wonder.

My guess is that you just won't post about it, you'll be so embarrassed.

[John]

Each new guess of yours is more idiotic than the previous one.
