Klaus Schwab is thieving oxygen from the rest of us. [The Rude Awakening] November 30, 2023 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( Kissinger Dead; Grim Reaper Gets New Assignment [Sean Ring] SEAN
RING We’re near the end of the month, and gold is still above $2,000. Fingers crossed! I’ll write about that more in tomorrow’s Monthly Asset Class Report. [Click here to learn more]( Also, if you haven’t watched my packed interview with Rick Rule, [watch it here](. And thank you for the over 10,000 subscribers to Paradigm Press’ YouTube Channel. Your time, kindness, and comments have genuinely overwhelmed us. In the meantime, I came across a spectacular piece of correspondence. I’ll leave it to you to read. —— Dear Grim Reaper, It’s nearly year-end and almost time for your job review. But after yesterday’s news, I thought I’d bring yours forward so we can celebrate the “silly season” properly. First, I must offer my wholehearted and unreserved congratulations on finally nabbing Henry Kissinger after a century’s chase. It hasn’t been this hot down here since John McCain checked in. Even a loss like Dianne Feinstein didn’t get the devils dancing the way they used to. No man since Napoleon has given less of a shit about the men who were serving under him, let alone the victims of his numerous war crimes. I’m aware that “only the good die young.” But let’s face it, this assignment took way too long. We must prevent other war criminals like Kissinger from reaching the century mark. [pub] Seriously, memes like the above give us a bad name. Let’s review why Kissinger needed to be down here and not up there. [Stocks Crash Whenever This Happens]( Ever since 1955, there is ONE indicator that has been 100% right about stocks. Whenever it appears, stocks crash. Jim Rickards calls it “The Black Pattern.”
Because it is quite literally an Angel of Death for the stock market. And this Black Pattern is telling us 2024 could be the worst year for stocks we’ve seen yet. Consider this a WARNING and to alert you of a MASSIVE opportunity that could be extremely lucrative to investors. [The full breakdown is here.]( [Click Here To Learn More]( Vietnam In 1968, Kissinger was working as an expert on Vietnam for the US negotiation team during the Paris peace talks. During the talks, the late, great essayist and author Christopher Hitchens alleges Kissinger was feeding Republican Presidential hopeful Richard Nixon inside information on the progress of the deals, even though he was working for President Lyndon Johnson. Kissinger hoped that, if the talks failed, Nixon would stand a strong chance of winning the next election. Although Kissinger was guaranteed a job in the next Democratic administration - Johnson wouldn’t seek re-election - he thought he could get a better position in a Nixon administration. As a result, the war raged on for many more years. Then, as National Security Advisor, Kissinger was involved in Operation Speedy Express and Operation Menu. Operation Speedy Express deliberately targeted civilians, making it a war crime. Operation Menu bombarded targets in Cambodia and Laos, two countries with which the US wasn’t at war. This breached international law and, hence, should also be considered a war crime. Nearly 1 million people died in Cambodia and Laos due to Operation Menu. China In The Hundred Year Marathon, author Michael Pillsbury alleges that Nixon didn’t go to China as much as China duped Kissinger into gifting the Chinese loads of tech in exchange for an alliance with the Soviet Union. China would probably still be decades behind the US if Henry Kissinger didn’t give him a 50-year leap forward, thanks to the tech he passed them on behalf of the American people. Kissinger did this ostensibly because he wanted to get China away from the Soviet Union to split the Maoists and the Marxists. Fast forward to 2020. You can see just how well that strategy worked. Hitchens alleges (at the time of his book’s publication) that helping American companies to get a hold of China’s market is one of Kissinger Associates' primary sources of income. That’s because the Chinese revere Kissinger for bringing them so far forward. Kissinger Associates Kissinger Associates, Inc. is a New York City-based international geopolitical consulting firm founded and run by Henry Kissinger in 1982. The firm advises clients on government relations. If you work for Kissinger, you’re never allowed to divulge clients' names. And if you’re one of Kissinger’s clients, you’re never allowed to acknowledge the relationship. This secrecy forced Kissinger to step down from his position as chairman of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9/11 Commission). Congressional Democrats insisted that Kissinger disclose the names of clients. Kissinger and President Bush claimed that such disclosures were unnecessary, but Kissinger stepped down anyway, citing conflicts of interest. It’s frightening that his conflicts prohibited him from looking into terrorist attacks on his home turf. [East Timor]( [Argentina]( [Chile]( and [Bangladesh]( Kissinger’s approval of government “actions” in these countries cost over 3 million lives (mainly in Bangladesh). In Summation Reaper, my job is to tempt people. Their job is to resist. But I didn’t even have to tempt Kissinger. He wrought all this havoc on his own. However, given the genuinely grotesque nature of Kissinger’s resolve, I’ll give you a pass. See, even the Internet is happy: [SJN] Here’s how you’ll make this up to me. Kissinger’s prize student at Harvard is still at large. Your mission, and you better accept it, is to bring him to me as quickly as possible. It won’t be hard to find him. He lives in Davos, Switzerland, and runs the planet’s most evil organization, the World Economic Forum. His name is Klaus Schwab. Go get him. Good hunting, Lucifer —— Truly amazing, folks. Even the devil lets slip his dirty laundry. I’ll be back tomorrow with some charts that will make us very happy, provided the “bastards” don’t hammer gold on today’s close. All the best, [Sean Ring] Sean Ring

RING In an engaging interview to be released on Paradigm Press's new YouTube channel later today, I had the opportunity to delve into the mind of Rick Rule, a renowned investor, speculator, and credit analyst. Throughout the conversation, Rick offered his perspectives on the future of banking, the precious metals market, and the broader economic landscape. [Click here to learn more] We’ll send you the video link in a special Rude later this morning. The Battle For Banking Rick, known for his astute investment choices and deep understanding of market dynamics, began by discussing his latest venture, Battle Bank. Describing it as a labor of love, he emphasized how Battle Bank responds to a gap in the banking sector. “I would not recommend starting a bank,” Rule quipped, highlighting the complexities of such an endeavor. However, his passion for providing innovative banking solutions was evident. He detailed how Battle Bank, born from the legacy of EverBank, aims to cater to niche markets by offering high-yield money market accounts, federally insured deposits in various currencies, and even using precious metals as collateral for loans. The link to his bank will be in the description of the YouTube video. Fiscal Policy and Inflation Delving into macroeconomic matters, Rick expressed his views on the current economic climate, drawing parallels with the 1970s. He believes that similar to the post-World War II era, the world has experienced a prolonged period of economic stability and growth, leading to a certain level of complacency. “The fiscal course of the United States and the Western world was unsustainable,” Mr. Rule stated, highlighting the dangers of excessive government debt and reliance on fiat currency. He elaborated on his concerns about inflation, criticizing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as an unreliable measure of the actual erosion of currency value. “The purchasing power of my savings was declining at about 7% compounded as opposed to the 2.8% reported in the CPI,” he explained, emphasizing the importance of a realistic assessment of inflation’s impact on savings and investments. [PREDICTION: The Next Trillion-Dollar Stock]( In 2007, he predicted Facebook would become a $100 billion company. In 2010, he predicted Apple would reach a three-trillion-dollar valuation. In 2013, he called Bitcoin -- before it rose 50,000% and ultimately reached a trillion-dollar market cap. And now, this A.I. Genius is stepping into the spotlight to predict the next-trillion stock. [To see his shocking new reveal, go here now](. [Click here to learn more]( [Click Here To Learn More]( Where Might There Be Another Credit Crunch? Regarding potential economic downturns, Rick pointed out the risks in the junk bond market, warning of a possible credit event reminiscent of 2008. He expressed concerns about the liquidity mismatch in junk bond ETFs, where the liquidity of the ETFs does not match the illiquidity of the underlying assets. “I’m afraid of a credit-inspired liquidity crunch,” he cautioned, outlining a scenario where a lack of confidence could trigger a significant financial crisis. Gold For Insurance, Silver For Greed Regarding precious metals, Rick shared his long-term bullishness on gold, viewing it more as insurance against economic instability rather than a speculative asset. He emphasized gold’s historical performance, noting its rise from around $250 per ounce in 2000 to over $2,000. “I bought gold as insurance... it allows me to sleep nights and stay calm,” he stated. Regarding gold stocks, Mr. Rule pointed out that the industry, after years of inefficient management, is transforming, focusing more on corporate performance and efficiency. Rick also discussed the potential of silver as a speculative asset, noting that it typically follows gold’s lead in a bull market. He encouraged investors to consider silver stocks, especially given the current market conditions where silver is undervalued and unloved. Coal and Oil Aren’t Green, But They’re In Demand Furthermore, Mr. Rule spoke about the energy sector, emphasizing the ongoing relevance and importance of conventional energy sources like coal and oil. Despite the push towards renewable energy, he highlighted that demand for coal hit record highs in 2022, and 2023 saw even higher demand. He urged investors to pay attention to energy stocks, especially those in natural gas and Canadian oil and gas, which he believes are undervalued. Finally, Rick invited the audience to engage with him further through his website, where he offered to rank natural resource stocks for investors. He also encouraged viewers dissatisfied with their current banking relationships to explore the possibilities offered by Battle Bank. Wrap Up My interview with Rick provided many insights into the current economic environment and prospects. His expertise in banking, precious metals, and the broader financial market offers valuable perspectives for investors navigating these challenging times. With a blend of caution and optimism, Rule’s advice and analysis guide those seeking to make informed investment decisions in an increasingly complex world. When we have the link later this morning, we’ll send out a quick, special Rude edition to let you know. All the best, [Sean Ring] Sean Ring
