Uncovering the Truth About Money and Markets They Don't Want You to See
Are you concerned with the direction the US and the world are headed?
Do you want to know what is really happening so that you can not only survive but come out of the chaos far ahead?
Then get free access to our wildly popular e-letter.
Let me get straight to the point.
We’re staring at a multi-faceted catastrophe unlike any we’ve seen before, and the time to prepare is short.
- Central banks and their rampant money printing have warped financial markets more than at any point in history.
- They’re debasing fiat currencies—and destroying the savings of billions of people—faster than most would imagine.
- We’re on the cusp of a global “monetary reset” that could see a supranational currency replace the US dollar, the end of paper currency, and the birth of an Orwellian surveillance system that monitors and controls every penny you earn, save, and spend.
- At the same time, the US, which is the current engine of Western Civilization, is in a steep economic, geopolitical, and cultural decline that shows no sign of reversing. It could be the biggest geopolitical shift since the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Unfortunately, following conventional financial advice in the mainstream media is a recipe for disaster in this environment.
It’s crucial for your personal freedom and financial well-being that you can sift through the noise, misinformation, and outright propaganda to put the pieces together correctly to see the true Big Picture.
Countless millions throughout history were wiped out financially—or worse— in times of profound change because they failed to see the Big Picture. Don’t be one of them.
This is where The Financial Underground comes in.
We specialize in connecting the dots to reveal the true Big Picture and how to get positioned early in unstoppable investment trends with smart speculations.
For example, let’s take a closer look at one of the most misunderstood topics in all of finance—inflation. It’s the single biggest threat to your financial well-being right now, which is why getting the Big Picture right is so important.
Get Ready for Decade of Inflation
“Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
– John Maynard Keynes
First central bankers, the mainstream media, and academia tell you there is no inflation.
Then, when inflation becomes undeniable, they tell you not to worry because inflation is only “transitory.”
Then, when it becomes apparent that it’s not merely transitory, they tell you not to worry because inflation is actually a good thing.
It’s not uncommon to see ridiculous headlines like this:
And this...
What kind of person thinks higher grocery, gas, clothing, rent, and medical care costs are a good thing? The only ones who do are fools or those who benefit from lowering the standard of living of everyone else. It’s like saying America needs more tapeworm infections. It’s repugnant.
Please don’t believe this absurd deception.
They’re spitting on your boots and telling you it’s raining. It's gaslighting.
The reality is that inflation is out of control, there’s nothing that can stop it, and it’s poisonous for individuals and the economy.
It’s no surprise there is a lot of confusion surrounding inflation. That’s because relentless propaganda has muddled the issue for many years.
That’s why I will show you the true Big Picture about inflation and what you can do about it. It’s absolutely crucial you know about it.
Let’s start with the basics and build from there to reveal what is really happening.
Inflation is one of the most misused words in the English language.
The original definition of inflation was an increase in the money supply.
However, the government, the media, and academia have tried to redefine inflation to mean an increase in prices over the years.
For example, from its founding in 1828, Webster’s Dictionary had always defined inflation as an increase in the money supply. Then in 2003, it changed the definition to mean a rise in the general price level.
The difference might seem subtle, but it’s not. It’s an attempt to deceive you by changing the language.
Redefining inflation to mean an increase in prices instead of an increase in the money supply confuses cause and effect, which is precisely the point.
Rising prices are not inflation. They are a symptom of it.
The correct way to think of inflation is that it occurs when the money supply increases, which causes prices to increase.
Defining inflation as a rise in prices conceals who is causing this unnatural occurrence to happen. Therefore, the direct victims of this fraud are confused as to what is happening and who is perpetrating it.
It would be like redefining robbery to mean a mysterious loss of property—as if the person who caused the theft to occur, the robber, magically disappeared from the equation.
Manipulating how people think about a topic by changing the meaning of words is sophisticated propaganda, and it fools many people.
Here’s the bottom line.
Inflation—an increase in the money supply—is a purely political phenomenon.
The butcher, the local gas station, or the car makers are not responsible for inflation. The government is solely responsible because it has monopoly control over the money supply.
So, why do governments increase the money supply?
They do so because it allows them to generate more money than they otherwise could through direct taxation and issuing debt.
In other words, inflation is an indirect, hidden, and insidious tax that the government takes from the populous without its consent.
It’s also important to note that inflation is not a new swindle.
Even in ancient times, governments would clip their gold and silver coins surreptitiously to raise money. Today’s central banks are engaging in the same scam but on a scale orders of magnitude larger.
Here’s the ugly truth the government, the mainstream media, and academia don’t want you to know…
The Fed and other central banks only exist to steal money from you through inflation and redirect it to the politically connected. That is their primary purpose, and it always has been.
Money represents your time and energy—your life. So they are, in fact stealing your life via inflation.
Any honest assessment of the situation reveals that it’s a tyranny of historic proportions.
That’s why they go through such lengths to propagandize and confuse you about inflation. They know the truth is ugly, and they don’t want you to know about it or their role in it.
What Happens Next
You often hear the media, politicians, and financial analysts toss around the word “trillion” without appreciating what it means.
A trillion is a massive, almost unfathomable number.
The human brain has trouble understanding something so huge. So let me try to put it into perspective.
If you earned $1 per second, it would take 11 days to make a million dollars.
If you earned $1 per second, it would take over 31 years to make a billion dollars.
And if you earned $1 per second, it would take 31,688 years to make a trillion dollars.
So that’s how enormous a trillion is.
When politicians carelessly spend and print money measured in the trillions, you’ve officially entered Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Weimar Germany territory.
And that is exactly what the Federal Reserve has enabled the US government to do.
The US government couldn’t even dream of financing its budget deficits without the Fed’s printing presses. This is what Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is all about. It’s a policy of printing money to finance growing multitrillion-dollar deficits forever.
Unfortunately, not only is MMT already here, but it’s about to cause inflation to go hyperbolic.
What we’re looking at is the most reckless monetary policy in the history of the US. At this point, it’s politically impossible for the government to reduce spending meaningfully. That means there’s no going back from ever-increasing amounts of inflation to finance it.
It all happened faster than anyone could have imagined. There was no debate or discussion, and voters didn’t get to weigh in. Instead, the government just implemented MMT.
Here’s how hedge fund legend Paul Tudor Jones describes it:
“The depth and magnitude of the economic drop-off took Modern Monetary Theory – or the direct monetization of massive fiscal spending – from the theoretical to practice without any debate. It has happened globally with such speed that even a market veteran, like myself, was left speechless.”
There’s another powerful reason the US government can’t stop—or even slow down—the printing presses.
That is because inflation is a big bonus to debtors. It allows you to borrow in dollars and repay in dimes. And since the US government is the biggest debtor in the history of the world, it is the single largest beneficiary of inflation.
That’s why it is only prudent to expect a lot more inflation, which means your standard of living will go down unless you take action—more on that below.
