The Final Nail in the Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory Coffin Comes at a Price

Well, it came at a risk, it came at a gamble, but finally, the Russian Conspiracy Theory, that has been rammed down the throats of everyone around the globe since Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States has finally been laid to rest.

With a resounding boom as the missiles landed in Syria, the hopes and dreams of the MSM proving that President Trump is simply a Russian puppet were shattered in one swift tactical strike. These strikes came at a great risk, as they hit key Syrian assets, assets that President Putin and his Russian forces vowed to protect.

Acting together with its joint allies, Britain and France, the United States struck out against Syria for what the Western Intelligence community claims were biological attacks against the Syrian civilian population, orchestrated by its own government.

Whether or not these claims are true, is highly debated and highly suspect, but regardless of the truth, the chips have fallen and we are now in this precarious position, as the West once again plunges itself ham fisted back into the cold war era.

Russian leaders have vowed that they will take action and vowed that their will be consequences for these acts against an ally they have sworn to protect, yet to this date, nothing has appeared to of occurred.

Russia may or may not act, but it is rather unlikely at least in the short term, as the full combined might of the West is still a force that no one nation can contend with, as it is utterly overwhelming. Russia knows this and they are not stupid, but this is not to say that things cannot, nor will not change in the future.

Still, this has come at a cost, as Russia has once again been forced into further isolation, as its Western peers condemn their actions and threaten them with even more trade sanctions. Pushed to the point of desperation, who knows what actions they will take in the coming years.

Meanwhile, the chatter of Russian collusion, via the corrupt and dying MSM has virtually died, as even those suffering from an extreme case of brainwashing are finding it hard to comprehend how a puppet can so easily slap its master across the face and get away with it, without consequences.

If President Trump was truly a puppet of Vladimir Putin, or at least once was, then the evidence of this would have been promptly released by parties in the know, destroying Trump in the process. The reason why it hasn't, is simply because it doesn't exist.

Hilariously, it is the MSM who cry out about fake news and conspiracy theories aplenty. While at the same time, they are the main pushers of half truths, fake news and their own concocted conspiracy theories.

It is sad to see how far the "guardians of the truth" have fallen and how decadent the MSM has become. They are so greedy and corrupt, that they have pushed us towards this path, a path that places the West on the precipice of war with a global, nuclear power.

The final nail in the Russian collusion coffin has been put in place, but at what cost and at what price? Only time will tell.

BREAKING: Criminal Referral Issued For Comey, Clinton, Lynch And McCabe; Rosenstein Recusal Demanded

Eleven GOP members of Congress led by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have written a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Attorney John Huber, and FBI Director Christopher Wray - asking them to investigate former FBI Director James Comey, Hillary Clinton and others - including FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, for a laundry list of potential crimes surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Recall that Sessions paired special prosecutor John Huber with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz - falling short of a second Special Counsel, but empowering Horowitz to fully investigate allegations of FBI FISA abuse with subpoena power and other methods he was formerly unable to utilize.

The GOP letter's primary focus appears to be James Comey, while the charges for all include obstruction, perjury, corruption, unauthorized removal of classified documents, contributions and donations by foreign nationals and other allegations.

The letter also demands that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein "be recused from any examination of FISA abuse," and recommends that "neither U.S. Attorney John Huber nor a special counsel (if appointed) should report to Rosenstein."

The letter refers the following individuals for the following conduct...

The White House says that everyone has the right to speak freely on the social media platforms, this is the push for the Internet Bill Of Rights. 

OPCW confirms the nerve agent used was Novichuk but cannot confirm where it came from. BBC reporter tweet, tired of these staged event, then deletes the tweet. OPCW is on its way to Syria. Russia/US communication is open. Syrian army arrest British soldiers in Ghouta. 

Back in 2013 the UN found that Assad didn't use chemical weapons, the rebels did. Trump says he never said he was going to attack. Mattis said there is no evidence that Assad did the attack.

Roaring Back, Cryptos Burst Onto the Scene, But for How Long?

Cryptos, are back on track! Or are they? 

As predicted towards the end of last year, and at the start of 2018, Cryptos have trended lower, much lower, throughout the first few months of 2018. 

From a contrarian investor's perspective, this came as no surprise, as the masses began to rush into the streets and those who scarcely could say the word Cryptocurrency began to dive in with both feet.

This is always a red hot warning sign, especially when compounded with the fact that the mass majority of those joining the party in the late hours, we're stating that "it can never go down", "Lambo's for all!", and other statements that are made near a bubble top.

Yet, as also predicted, Crypto's are now beginning to move higher, and in a significant way. This is largely due to the fact that pressure is easing as the tax season within the United States comes to a close and those who sold for accounting purposes are now taking renewed positions.

Bitcoin, leading the charge is heading towards its best week in four months, up over a whopping 25% this week alone!

Still, the fear of the tax man cannot be overstated, as there are countless out there still, that have skirted the law and avoided paying their taxes, a fact that was pointed out in a previous article and one that the IRS has taken a keen interest in, showcased by their recent crackdown on Coinbase users.

Perhaps the recent lows have formed a new support level and we are destined to move higher from this point forward, as seen from the recent enthusiasm returning to the Crypto space, or perhaps not, it is far too early to tell.

Regardless of what happens in the short term, I believe that Cryptos will be stuck in a sideways trading pattern, at least for the next year to two years, eventually returning to and testing their old highs.

What is however starting to solidify is the second part of my prediction that I made during the latter days of 2017. This is that funds diverted away from the precious metals space, are going to begin to find their way back into the precious metals markets throughout 2018, as those who made large profits from Cryptos are going to begin to look for the next best opportunity.

Many early supporters of Bitcoin have already begun to state concerns they are having with the Cryptocurrency and have begun to sell positions, fortunately for many of these early movers, they sold before the recent correction and truly made staggering profits, profits that have made them fabulously wealthy, likely setting them up for the entirety of their lives.

Jeff Berwick, a familiar name to anyone in the precious metals space was one of the most prominent and vocal supporters of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. He still is, without a doubt a believer in the space as a whole, as am I, however, he too recognized the fact that the market was simply getting overheated and overpriced.

Due to this fact, he has reiterated the fact more than once that he is diverting funds back into precious metals, as he believes they are severely under-priced and due for a massive move higher in the coming years.

Things are beginning to take shape and the "smart money" are acting now, moving out of the Cryptocurrency markets and back into precious metals, sensing that the time is ripe and the end of this long bear market is soon to come to an end. 

Golden rays lay on the horizon and the protection of precious metals is going to be needed more than ever, as we continue to move forward into this increased time of geopolitical turmoil and uncertainty. Opportunity awaits you, but time is running short.

Jeff Berwick: I Took My Advice and Sold My Cryptos to Buy Gold

Jeff discusses how well the Anarchapulco conference performed this year as they had a record number of attendees and speakers. He thinks this was due in part to the cryptocurrency performance over the last year. 

An entire day of the conference is dedicated to cryptocurrencies. Anarchapulco is all about freedom, liberty, and volunteerism. He talks about why voting for a new government never really changes anything. For 2019 there are some big speakers which he will be announcing soon. 

The cryptocurrency ecosystem has had a lot of innovation and late last year the dumb money began investing. The January pullback was expected and needed. Many are glad there was a pullback as things were growing too fast. 

The potential of cryptocurrencies has not changed, there is still massive amounts of development. There is a lot of buzz in the cryptocurrencies, and it’s not going away. Late last year more money entered into Initial Coin Offerings than into the IPO’s on Wall Street which is pretty impressive for something that didn’t exist two years ago. 

Prices could go lower, but overall he is happy with how it has played out. He can’t believe how the precious metals have been left out of the bull market. They have done very little, and it’s an opportune time to take some profits and put them into the precious metals. 

He feels we are still on track for a dollar collapse around 2020. Gold and silver are a very safe investment, but you should also have some cryptocurrency exposure.

Nomi Prins: The Collusion of Global Central Banks

During this interview, Jason asks Nomi about how often do central bankers coordinate / collude and go into different markets to manage/manipulate/rig them? 

Nomi thinks that it's most likely on a daily basis now based on the fear factor central bankers have at the time in order to delay the next global financial crisis. 

Jason also asks Nomi about her trip to Brazil where she spoke candidly with a Brazilian central banker, about block chain technology and what the economic and elites have planned for it (one world currency and banning cash?) as well as if central banks will be able to reduce their balance sheets meaningfully. 

Nomi thinks that the Fed's balance sheet may double during and after the next global financial crisis. 

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Nomi about the history of trade wars in the US, the Chinese credit bubble and whether any country will voluntarily go back on a gold standard?

The Currency Wars Erupt, We Have Reached the Point of No Return

It is happening and it cannot be stopped. The Currency Wars that have been discussed at length by many precious metals experts for years are here and there is now no turning back.

As I have previously discussed, these wars have been ongoing for much of the last decade, if not longer, however, it has remained largely a "gentleman's" war and highly civilized, with neither side wishing to expose their hand too much.

Now, with the increased rhetoric coming from the Trump administration, things have turned red hot and shots are being fired back and forth, on an almost daily basis.

President Trump has imposed numerous tariffs on Chinese goods entering the United States. The first of which was $50 billion worth of tariffs, in which China swiftly responded in kind, imposing $50 billion worth of their own tariffs on American imports, imports such as soybeans and small aircraft's.

As expected, President Trump would not let this settle and is now discussing imposing an additional $100 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese goods. Of course, this will be answered with a likewise response from China, if these tariffs are indeed pushed through.

As we can already see, the ramifications of these actions are going to have a rippling effect through not only the Chinese and US economies, but the entirety of the West, as these countries are two of the largest importers / exporters in the world.

These increased hostilities show no sign of abating and are likely to increase from this point out. Neither side is willing to back down and show weakness and as a result stock markets have corrected sharply, proving that they too prescribe to my assumption.

President Trump, has vowed to "Make America Great Again", a term that means many things, one of which involves returning jobs that America exported to China, back to American shores.

I believe that this is exactly what Trump is attempting to do. He is attempting to force businesses into a position which makes it unprofitable for them to operate overseas, in certain locations such as China and other low wage countries that benefit from massive trade surpluses, at the expense of the American government and the blue collar American working class as a whole.

This however does not come with downsides, as this will lead to much higher prices in the cost of goods, as higher wages and working standards will force companies to raise their prices. The hope, is that these price increases are offset by higher wages and reduced unemployment. A gamble, but one that President Trump appears to be more than willing to take.

China on the other hand is not stupid and they have vowed to fight American tariffs and actions to the very end, no matter what the cost is. This is incredibly scary, especially since they possess the ability to "nuke" the US dollar, via the massive currency reserves that they possess, essentially destabilizing the dollar overnight if they so wish.

I personally believe that China is taking such a hard line response to these actions, simply because they know that their survival depends on it. The American economic engine keeps their economy running at highly inflated levels and if the trade was cut off, the ramifications would destabilize their economy and result in a possible toppling of their communist government. A scenario, they cannot afford to see unfold.

Regardless of whether or not cooler heads will avail in the short term, I believe that the genie has been let out of the bottle, never to return as long as President Trump is in power. 

The Currency Wars are here. Get used to it and take the appropriate action to protect yourselves. Increased volatility is here to stay.
