With all the hype about inflation and those who keep pressing for hyperinflation, it is sad to say that they neither understand history nor even what is hyperinflation. While people point to Germany or Zimbabwe as examples and harp on the central banks creating money, they then conclude the other dollar will turn to dust and the only survivor will be gold. In truth, never has the core economy has gone into hyperinflation and all peripheral economies survive. For the dollar to turn to dust, the entire rest of the world must go first. The US has the largest single debt, but it also has the largest economy. Even COVID has shown the difference whereas the head of state can just close down the entire country but in the United States, the president does not have that same power. The political difference is huge and the superficial analysis of inflation is really a joke. Most of these theories date back to the time when money was simply a coin. If one nation debased and others did not, the exchange rates were based solely on the metal content. Those days are long gone and the backing of a currency today is based entirely on its economic power which is its people. You can have all the resources in the world, but if corruption is so great as in Russia, then that has no bearing on its currency. Both Japan and Germany rose from the ashes of WWII without any gold reserves but they had their people who were highly productive. Updating the reality of hyperinflation and what we truly face is long overdue. read more

I’m very concerned about what is happening in Ukraine. But I’m much more concerned about what’s happening on that account in my own country.

China has aligned itself with Russia as often an ally in the international arena. China has made it known that it stands ready to use the right of “veto” any decision of the UN Security Council on the situation in Ukraine directed against Russia. To a large extent, our sources have been highlighting the outrage […] read more

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; It is so clear you understand the basic human response that drives the economy. It is amazing why the entire world does not listen to you. Within 24 hours, German companies are demanding tax cuts to compete with the Trump tax cuts. They realize what you have been saying. The USA will […] read more

Perhaps the number one question I always get about the ordeal I went through and the sheer chaos that surrounded everything, was just who really was behind the plot to blackmail the former head of Russia Boris Yeltsin to stop him from running for reelection in 2000 and hand-pick Boris Abramovich Berezovsky? It is true […] read more

The US has been encircling Russia with nukes for sometime and they have been escalating the Ukrainian affair to the brink of war. NATO suspended all cooperation with Russia over Crimea and these people actually think they are accomplishing something. Russia has recalled its Ambassador to NATO and the West is just insane. Crimea was […] read more

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Why do you defend Russia when they obviously tried to influence the election to defeat Hillary? You seem to be biased on this issue. Let me see you answer this one.
