You can criticize John but he has been consistent.

Since 2010 John Williams has repeatedly warned of a coming hyperinflationary event that will leave the United States decimated. With the loss of purchasing power of the U.S. dollar will also come disruptions to the normal flow of commerce, including domestic supply chains.

I was just listening to Glenn Beck interview Peter Thiel and Peter says you don't want to be in cash (dollars) or bonds. He said that if Hillary is elected she won't have a 2nd term because the 'collapse' will have occurred on her watch.
He also said something like "why would anyone want to be president with what is coming."

I believe Williams’ facts are correct, but he consistantly underestimates the banksters’ ability to manipulate currency and the market. He previously claimed that we would be in a meltdown by April 2014. Instead, we had a huge boom in the Dow.

How can you have no sales growth in 80% of the economy and have a booming economy? It’s not happening.”

and inflation has been running 12%-13% annually on a mathematical basis, regardless of what they say.

Hold on tight folks

Putin warned that they had weapons (electronic?) that could kill millions. New weapons can create “zombies” out of millions. Disease could overload all systems. Dollar collapse, solar flare, asteroid, Global warming..., too many things to consider and plan for.

[Ghost of SVR4]

I think we are still quite a ways off from the “collapse” as fedzilla has not confiscated 401k’s yet. There is still quite a bit of wealth left in this country that has yet to be pillaged by the FSA’s leaders.

You can criticize John (Williams) but he has been consistent.

Why would anyone criticize him? He has scored many wonderful movie soundtracks and led fine orchestras.

“We Are Coming In On The End Game Here""

Unfortunately it is the only game in town. Collectively we live by debt, we die by debt.

[Sam Gamgee]

I agree with John and also Peter Schiff. The performance of the equity markets mask the fact that the US is being pilfered of its production capacity. It's like looking at the rule of the last King of France before his demise. The outward appearance was all was rosy while the nation was ready to be torn apart.

The problem is the danger of overshooting the inflation target. The quantitative easing is suppose to save the economy while keeping inflation under 2%. How do they know that after a large lag time, inflation won't pop to 5%. Then what?

The stock market’s acting like it’s 1929. The real economy is acting like it’s 1932. The Fed is maintaining the disconnect between stock market fantasy and economic reality.

In the end, reality wins.

“I can’t give you good reason for why the stock market is as high as it is. The fact you are seeing this volatility means there are a lot of people who are very nervous about what is going on and where things are in the market. It is probably one of the great bubbles of all time. It most likely will collapse along the lines of the U.S. dollar in response to the reality of no economic recovery. . . . I can’t think of a more vulnerable market than what we are seeing here.”

This guy has his head up his rear. The market has absolutely no volatility. /vix has been pinned at 12 for the couple years

I thought the dollar had rebounded on world markets as of late.

Perhaps I picked a bad year to have our house painted.

Oh well, while I sit on the porch and wait for the end to come, at least i’ll look good.
