This article pretty much sums up my economic hunches right now:
The Deep State's next move is to pin the coming stock market collapse on Trump. When people think “Greater Depression,” they'll think “Donald Trump.”
The economy has been on life support since the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed has pumped it up with unprecedented amounts of “stimulus.” This has created enormous distortions and misallocations of capital that need to be flushed.
Think of the trillions of dollars in money printing programs–euphemistically called quantitative easing (QE) 1, 2, and 3.
Meanwhile, with zero and even negative interest rates in many countries, rates are the lowest they've been in 5,000 years of recorded human history.
This is not hyperbole. We're really in uncharted territory. (Interest rates were never lower than 6% in ancient Greece, and ranged from 4% to over 12% in ancient Rome.)
The too-big-to-fail banks are even bigger than they were in 2008. They have more derivatives, and they're much more dangerous.
If the Deep State wants to trigger a stock market collapse on par with 1929, it just has to pull the plug on the extraordinary life support measures it's used since the last crisis.
It's already baked in the cake. It's just a matter of when they decide to trigger the controlled demolition.
Donald Trump is the perfect fall guy. And there are signs the Deep State is already starting to get its revenge.
The most important variable to watch is the Federal Reserve–the quintessential establishment institution.
