John Williams-World Class Crash Coming No Matter What

Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money

1. What's up with the quick 'we lost you' ? Seems fishy.
2. I don't think the dollar will collapse because it is the number one world currency, so I think John has got this wrong.
3. how can anyone listen to this shill John Williams? hes been barking the same gloom and doom since 2009. You would have gone broke listening to this advise over the last 7 years. He'll eventually be correct, just like a broken clock is right twice a day. That doesn't mean hes worth listening to.
4. Trump could use his executive power to shut down the fed, just get the FCC to block all phone and Internet communications from the fed, and the shop is closed, then instruct people about going to Bitcoin and planting victory gardens and blow the whistle on the system (and don't take any drives in a convertible through Texas)
5. I want to ascribe credibility to Mr. Williams, I really do, as the source for truth vs. the corrupt "unisoned" mainstream Keynesian madness. However his apparent adoration of Fed actions make no sense coming from someone who knows better, even if he didn't so intimately know their actions and every number (which obviously he does). That adoration stance is demonstrated repeatedly here. To pick one case, he seems to admire how they (i.e. Bernanke/Paulson) "saved the world" by their actions in the '08 crisis. Did he somehow miss Stockman's explanation of what really happened? See on youtube "The Forgotten Cause of Sound Money" (which in my opinion is the greatest economic speech in recorded history).
   
   Seriously. Bernanke and our current Bernanke II and the posse of Bernanke clones which are the Fed are Keynesian madmen who believe that deficits don't matter and printing doesn't matter. Is is simply that Mr. Williams is quietly smiling because they are doing precisely - and with terrifying rapidity and degree - the exact actions that will cause "the Big One" to come to fruition... ergo fulfilling Williams' very very very long held and overdue prediction?
6. 14:20+ Stated: strong negative (or inverse, if you will?) correlation of 80% between gasoline vs. the dollar, and the dollar has been the "biggest variable" in headline inflation reporting since '08/09. My question: does "biggest variable" mean A. that it's strongly varied, which implies that the dollar has strongly varied inversely due to the correlation? (Stated differently, that gasoline price has been volatile...but has it been, since '08?) Or B. does it just mean that the gasoline component of headline CPI reporting has the biggest effect on the result? I.e. that it has most prominently moved the index (in recent years)?
7. We don't have 4 planets so that the world can not live like Americans do, we don't even have 2 planets so we can live like Europeans do so stop worrying about a fall in consumption. We the world need to get our heads around sustainable living, life is for living, there needs to be global transition to an economy that is about restoring the planet to pristine condition, on top of that there is no shortage of demand in the slums of the world for infra structure projects like sanitation, sewage, rubbish collection, clean water, small scale energy production its just not something the people at Goldman sachs like to think or talk about. I am requesting people get their heads around it. Further to that get a copy of Tony Junipers book, 'what nature does for us'. How many economists know what a full hydrology cycle is, they need to get up to speed on so many different topics that affect the economy.
8. Greg outstanding interview. Take care.
9. John Williams looks exactly like he did 8 years ago.  The man has not aged at all.
10. NO COLLAPSE! Unless.....
    Foreign nations & many others have already been fleeing the dollar so the coming collapse will have nothing to do with mathematics. The only thing to crash the system will be a "Black Swan" event. Example: massive pandemic that kills millions in a few months.
11. Doesnt matter who is in the white house.... theres a bigger monster knocking on your door...a out of control debt market, a diminished workforce, a aging demographic using too much entitlements... a worthless dollar that no one wants.
12. Money vs Wealth. A stripper has big tatas, now, those are "wealth" (not money). If they are fake, they are still wealth. (lol). Compare that to the USD, backed by codependency and co conspirators and a parasite-host relationships..........the USD is money...not wealth....BUT...the leaches need a host, the flees need a host, the tics need a host. This system is no where near breaking, and can run another 20 years. The expansion of the money supply in the US, spent on unsavory things, is shockingly "not as bad pork" as other world pork. So, yes, what we have done to the USD is bad, but not bad by comparison (how did that happen?). World financial transactions are still using US banks. This "event", of which you speak, is at least 14 years away.
13. Yes, things are different. (which is the only thing we can say about recessions, is that they are all different). But, break it down to comparison! The USA is much worse then they admit, (just look at the expansion of the money supply), however.....pick the prettiest pig! What country has had LESS QE? (historical currency rate velocity). Look at world currencies, there is a degree of honesty. What currency has done better then the USD for the last few years? Nearly ZERO. Ouch. What we have is a new world order, where there are not enough jobs, we are far too productive in this world, and this changes everything. Unless a country finds a way to get rid of their poor (kill them?), then the USA looks good by comparison. OUCH! the USA can also claw back lots of jobs, by changing the laws (make it illegal for a company to export a job dealing with the finances of the america people). I agree that what is going is a redistribution of wealth, at a world level. Ouch, wealth is moving out of the USA and into India.
14. The world is in serious trouble and it's been going down the tube for a long time. The central banks controlled by the Rothchilds have raped and pillaged the world of money. People and countries have no money and are going into debt to the central banks which can never be repaid. The whole system will collapse and there will be a third world war in the near future.Millions of people will die either from war or starvation. Food will be to expensive to buy. The US dollar will collapse overnight.
15. 12 months ago, gold price in the UK had dropped to £690 and today it is at £1033.
16. Greg, Is it true that China take over the World Reserve in October? I think I heard that about 6 months ago.
17. another gold commercial. In the Spring the crash will be in the Fall, in the Fall the crash will be in the Spring.
18. Selling T-bills to give money value is stupid. Why don't pundits say that? We are always paying out more as interest than we take in. It's just a courtesy to allow private investors to participate in public debt creation. Uncle Sam needs to stop being so courteous and stop creating more public debt. The value of the currency is based upon the users' faith in the issuer, we don't need investors blessing money to give it value.
19. Confusing advice, but sounds like he's saying under a crisis, spend cash first (which will lose value under hyper inflation), then sell gold (or silver?) slowly to cover your cost of living beyond regular income, but no more, no matter how high gold goes, since no investment besides gold will hold value through the long haul.
    But BUYING gold is more risky on any money you can't afford to hold long term, since it could still go down on certain periods, where you still may have to sell it at a loss when your cost of living demands you sell.
20. Williams said the crash would happen in the first few weeks of February. Ahem.
