Aaron Day: “This Is The Hill To Die On”

In this live discussion at Porcfest 2024, Chris Martenson and Jeffrey Tucker critique the economic and monetary policies of recent years, highlighting inflation, taxation, and government manipulation. They explore the lasting consequences of these policies on purchasing power, healthcare, and generational wealth.

Chris’s presentation at Porcfest 2024 highlights the reality of the quickening: Economic crises due to rising debt, unsustainable energy consumption, and a weakening financial system, driven by exponential growth and resource limitations.

In this interview, Chris and David Russell discuss how global uncertainty is driving gold prices, with central banks and high-net-worth investors acting prudently, and a potential rise in fear-based investing looming.

The US government has racked up $12 trillion in debt over the past four years. What will you do when it’s racking up $12 trillion every four months? Because that’s where we’re headed. Meanwhile, global financial conditions are as easy as they’ve ever been. What’s the emergency you ask? Good question…

What if the Fed doesn’t rescue the next downturn? What if the resulting rout will be used to trigger The Great Taking machinery which will then provide the cover for the rapid adoption of CBDCs? Germany’s stock market powering to illogical new highs tells us something is ‘off’ and we’re trying to figure out what.

More than two months after the first assassination attempt against trump we still don’t know the answers to shockingly basic questions.

The “apolitical” Fed cut rates by an emergency amount just 6 weeks before a major and contentious election thereby rewarding incumbents. As always, they did this even though it will reward existing asset owners and punish the young who are starting out in life. It’s just who they are, to their bones.

The second Trump assassination attempt is proving to be as revealing and instructive as the first one.  For some reason it’s HARD to protect Trump properly. The DNC is responsible for fanning the social flames that have brought us to these attempts, but they seem unable to do much more than DARVO and (perversely) blame Trump.Click Here for Part 2

This is the audio from my livecast regarding the second Trump assassination attempt.

Would it be foolish to think ‘this time is different?’ Of course! It’s never different. There has to be a balance between claims on the economy and the real economy’s outputs. Today those are historically stretched beyond recovery. It’s time to plant a garden – or start a farm!
