Here’s a special treat for our Peak subscribers. This is a recording of the presentation I gave at the Limitless conference.
To everybody here who consumes my material, there may not be a lot of new information. But…the fact that this was very well received by ~1500 people carries some information all on its own.
The message is now landing. People are aware on one of several levels that something just isn’t right.
I’m going to ask that you not share this presentation outside of our paywall. If you want someone to view it on your account, go ahead, but be sure to ask them not to share it publicly. At some point we’ll probably be given the nod to make it public, but as a courtesy to their conference and business model, I’m going to wait for the all clear.
One of the core messages I wanted to share with a crowd that is particularly interest rate sensitive is that, under my paradigm, interest rates rise when inflation is rising. So, I expect higher interest rates because I see oil product shortfalls and shortages both developing and becoming more severe over time.
I do miss those times when we had you, @cmartenson and @evieb-2-2 scouting for and conversing with us.
However, I respect your wish to get the basic information out to as many sleepwalkers who just don’t know as possible. It’s remarkable how much reach you’ve managed to create with your message since the war started.
Maybe one day we will get you back to ourselves at PP! Meanwhile, thanks for what must be an enormous output of time, energy and determination to alert a wider public.
I have an invite for Saturday evening to a conservative-liberty oriented party. I’ll keep an open ear for what people are saying about this topic, and will bring anything worthwhile back here. I will say though, I’m seeing in various financial news sources that there is a general realization dawning that those SPRs aren’t going to last forever.
Again, my guess is that they’re (administration, most financial interests, deep state, etc.) going to try to maintain the illusion of abundant oil past the mid-terms and then “Après cela, le déluge” as Louis XV might have put it. I’m not sure the tanks will last that long, nor the information warfare illusion – which is, after all, all that really matters for this election cycle. I will hazard a guess that Thanksgiving weekend travel will be down a tad this year.
Anyway, good talk, good audience. It’s good to hear months of work distilled into 37 minutes.
As the oil price unavoidably rises, attempting to drag the 10 year note yield up with it per your beautiful chart in the video, I believe they will do what they did today with the long bonds…. buy up the paper to suppress the yield to prevent great depression 2.0
This of course will be massively inflationary. (gold up 3.5% today)
Which will in turn cause the price of oil to rise even more.
I believe we’ve been in the doom loop since at least 2008, but the loop appears to be turning faster and faster.
BTW we’ve hit 40trillion in debt today. We’ve gone from 37 trillion to 40 trilllion in just a few days since this video.
Debt doubles every 8-9 years. This is the fundamental definition of an exponential. Look at Chris’s filling a stadium with water example. Slowly at first and then all at once. This has literally been going on since the 70’s. There was a brief period of reprieve in the 90’s.
Bush II doubled the debt from 5 to 10T. Obama called him unAmerican for doing so.
Obama doubled the debt during his term from 10T to just under 20T
Trump 1st and Biden, were slightly better going from 20T to 37T… But as Chris has pointed out, the total number of bonds issued suggests the debt was closer to 39T.
We are living in one of the most interesting times in modern history.
I had to fly back to Yuma, AZ last weekend for a family issue. While I was in Phoenix for a 2.5 hr layover, I stopped in for a beer at one of the airport pubs. I was listening into a conversation next to me about current events to which I had to join in. By the time those 2.5 hrs had passed, there were four of us talking in agreement about the state of affairs in the world. As we were getting ready to part ways, I couldn’t help but stop and admire just to whom I had this great conversation with - a business owner from Boston, a young cattle rancher out of Texas, some other professional from the Midwest, and me from Pennsylvania. I’ll be honest Chris, it really gave me hope that more people are aware than we have any idea.
Chris, this was a very nice presentation. I am glad you are getting invited to so many forums. You have been working on this message for decades and your work is beginning to pay off. Keep up the good work and don’t let Evie do too much work in your garden and feeding the cows while you are gone. Doug Thomson
Me neither. Luckily I have Adam Rozencwagj lined up for today…we’ll get that turned around as fast as we can.
Also, one of the segments with Paul yesterday I went into food and how 2027 is shaping up to be a completely miserable year with fertilizer shortages and that super El Nino on the way. You might drop a seed with semi-awake people along the lines of, “I think 2027 is going to be really tough for global food supplies”
Let that sit, and next year when they say “How did you know?” there’s your opening.
Thank you Doug! Much appreciated. Sadly, it is not myself that is driving Evie but our dastardly peach trees which totally got away from us this year.
Awesome presentation. Thank you for sharing. Definitely a standing O followed by a.. “oh crap/nauseas/ where’s the garbage can feeling…”
the chickens will enjoy those peach discards. Also, those discards would make some good water kefir - perhaps another easy to do hobby with huge benefits
Thanks again
Chris, your along with Mike Maloney were two of the presentations Glen Meder and his son emailed me about from the limitless conference. Thank you for making everything easy for me to grasp…esp when walking the neighbors dog. My neighbor got taken away by ambulance this am..ive got her dog, so i am listening while dog sitting and procrastinating about filing my paperwork, per usual:-)
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
