In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris goes solo and discusses the Great Reset in even greater detail than his two recent posts introducing the concept.

The more he learns about this globally-coordinated — and very public — initiative, the more cogs drop into place for why our system operates the way it does, perceived shortcomings and all.

And this does appear to be the official “plan” moving forward. So better we understand it, its players, and its objectives now, in order to make sure we increase our ability to sidestep its agenda for us should we desire to do so.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

• Media misinformation is rampant now
• Disgruntled people are migrating to independent sources
• Ideological influence and financial inequality are making us a more divided society than ever
• What will the post-election future look like?

This discussion is extremely relevant in the current moment of censorship accusations swirling in the media, as major publications like the New York Post clash with Twitter and Facebook over which news is fit to print. Access to a thriving free press is Amendment 1 of the Bill of Rights, and for a very good reason — it’s a cornerstone of liberty. Though that feels very much in jeopardy these days.

If we can’t agree on the facts, how can we intelligently work through our differences? How can we govern ourselves fairly and objectively in such a world?

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:

• The sorry state of the US political system
• From Covid to Epstein: can our “leaders” bungle even worse?
• Why Re-localization is the answer, whether we want it or not
• Why we’re never returning to “normal” as we knew it

Jim Kunstler returns to the program to report the latest view through is “Long Emergency” lens.

It’s a little scary: many of the trends he’s long been predicting have been suddenly accelerated by the events of 2020. Particularly his warnings that our urban & suburban lifestyle of mega-marts, McMansions and food deserts were going to start failing us, resulting in flight to rural areas.

As Jim explains here, re-localization of our economy and social networks is going to be the way of the future — whether we choose it, or reality forces it upon us.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Mish Shedlock discuss:

• An escapee from Illinois tells all
• Covid-19 is permanently changing household behavior
• A boom for the rich; a depression for the rest of us
• Is it now crunch-time?

As the dust continues to settle from the mad scramble by our “leaders” to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, it’s becoming clearer and clear that the unprecedented monetary and fiscal “rescue” stimulus served to make the already-wealthy a whole lot richer while the remaining 99% of America took it squarely on the chin.

And now that the scant money for Main Street has flowed to a trickle, Mish thinks that the bucket of consequences can’t be kicked down the road for much longer. Households are starting to run out of money, and once that happens on a large enough scale, the simmering resentment across the country is due to boil over.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

• It looks a lot like the start of a crack-up boom
• Will the markets ever fall again?
• History shows our current path ends badly, and in a destroyed currency
• How can investors protect their wealth in such a dangerous, complex time?

2020 just gets more and more challenging. After a brief sell-off in March, stocks and pretty much every other type of financial asset are in full melt-up mode.

Fueled by the Federal Reserve and Congress’ stimulus programs, and cheered by the Administration, higher prices seem the top national priority. Is this sustainable? It it wise? Do we even have markets anymore, or do we just have a charade of one — where eternal rising prices are now pre-determined?

John and Chris tackle these questions, along with their repercussions for the country and for concerned individual investors trying not to lose their hard-earned savings to runaway inflation OR a deflationary popping of the current asset price bubble:

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:

• We no longer have capitalism — it’s gone
• The national housing market is weakening
• The jobs market is worse than the BLS is reporting
• This is the most challenging time ever for investors

In an important, somber conversation, Chris and Wolf discuss the challenging times facing society today. Capitalism as we knew it for much of the 20th century is no longer; today corporate losses are socialized while gains are privatized for the ruling elites.

For those looking to simply opt out of the system and protect themselves, it’s more challenging than ever warns Wolf. Especially in regards with how to safeguard your financial wealth:

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:

• Society’s fatal flaws and it’s inability to acknowledge them
• Reducing your dependence on central institutions is one of the best investments to make today
• Reclaiming your food production produces valuable health, self-reliance and spiritual returns

The unrest rippling through society today is awakening more and more of us to the flaws of our current system. The benefits concentrate among too few, and those controlling the system seem happy to commit regular fraud to maintain their power and advantage. More and more of the masses are realizing that the inequity they are experiencing is an intentional feature of the system, not a glitch.

It is fair? No. Will it continue? Most likely yes, until things collapse from over-exploitation or civil overthrow. The important thing to do now, as Charles lays out, is to focus your frustration on constructive investments that reduce your dependence on our failing institutions…

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

• Why runaway debt has taken us beyond the point of no return
• Why this very predictably will end in a fiat currency crisis/collapse
• Why to expect more civil unrest
• In the short term, expect MMT, market volatility and accelerating inequity

The events we’ve been predicting for over a decade are now happening at an accelerating pace. That tremendous pile of global debt we’ve been warning of? It’s exploding higher. The US alone just added a full $1 trillion(!) in government debt in the month of May.

The world is so over-leveraged right now that interest rates can never be (willingly) allowed to rise again, else the entire economic system will crash. Once we accept that conclusion, the actions of the central banks and their implications become simple to predict. The sad reality is, as John explains below, is that they are trapped on a trajectory that will inevitably crash the system anyways…

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Art Berman discuss:

• It’s about as bad as it has ever been for the US oil industry
• Expect the government to intervene, as oil is Too Vital To Fail
• Any ‘recovery’ will be long and costly
• Like it or not, energy conservation and efficiency will be forced on society

The global economy remains completely addicted to fossil fuel, particularly oil — the “master” resource.

Of late, a collapse in the price of oil due to a slowing global economy — and then the widespread shutdowns forced by covid-19 — combined with overleveraged players and energetically-expensive extraction practices, and the industry is facing a likely wave of bankruptcies.

So expect extreme action to keep the oil flowing, including but not limited to government takeover. Why? It truly is an “at all costs” need for those in charge. Art explains why extremely eloquently in this podcast.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

• Australia Is Burning
• The impending shale oil bust
• Central banking desperation
• The PP May 2020 seminar

The evidence is now impossible to refute: the Economic, Energy & Environmental predicaments this site has been warning of for years are now hitting in force. Central banks are panicking, Australia is burning and the shale oil patch is becoming a graveyard for investor capital.

How desperate is it becoming?
