[Jeffrey Tucker]Dear Daily Prophecy Reader, Paul Krugman just wrote a piece on inflation for the New York Times that concludes with this sentence: “I’m not arguing that inflation isn’t a problem.” But we know what Paul really means: inflation is real, but is not really a problem. That opinion itself is an enormous problem. There is a rising sense in the White House and those circles generally that this really isn’t a big deal and probably has lots of upside. I get it. If I favored some version of a mega-government-style socialism, I would wonder where the money is going to come from to pay for it all. If someone came to me and said “it’s easy, just print it” I might be all ears. That seems to be the prevailing ethos right now. They spent many trillions and have no idea where the money is going to come from. They will rely on the Fed to perform some magic trick to make it all possible. All of which puts me in an apocalyptic mood. I never wanted to live in emergency times. I trusted that the people who predicted gloom and doom mostly just had personality issues going on. Everything will be fine, I always told myself. Like most Americans, we trusted that the system would somehow work for us. We’ve learned otherwise the last two years. Did you follow what has happened to markets this week? The Fed intimated last week that it would explore raising rates this year. The markets yesterday flew into panic, as if to say: Don’t You Dare! It was a devastating crash, but markets ended up on the plus side by closing. Why? The Fed might have to intervene but more importantly, the Fed cried uncle and said nothing has been decided for sure. In any case, it won’t happen until March. Let’s party until then! Do you see what’s happening here? Picture a heroin addict whose dealer hints that he might not always be there. The addict absolutely freaks out, banging on the dealer’s doors and windows all night. Finally the dealer says, ok, let’s be rational here: nothing has been decided for sure. The addict goes back to normal. The trick worked. As for bravery on the part of the Fed, count me among the skeptics. I will eat these words when rates are raised for interbank lending. I do not expect I will have to. Gold and Bitcoin A good friend of mine years ago was a lifelong gold dealer and a good man. He loved old gold coins because of what they symbolized: ownership, sound money, freedom, a decentralized world and a system of enterprise in which integrity and truth ruled. Once you understand this, such coins both inspire you and break your heart. They are relics, and yet their value survives through all the hell. He was also one wonderful truth teller. He would tell his clients that if they just wanted security, there was no need for fancy old coins. They should buy new coins being minted now: US, South Africa, China, Canada, and so on. But he also cautioned: the purpose of these purchases is not to make money. The purpose is to provide security in emergency times. He would often say that there are two kinds of emergencies, personal and social. The social kind is a macroeconomic crisis, an inflationary meltdown, a police state, the imposition of massive economic controls on prices and enterprise. The personal kind is a major tax issue, a family upheaval, a reputational disaster breaking out online or whatever. The purpose of buying and holding gold in a secure place is to provide that protection against eventualities that may or may not ever arrive. But when they do happen, you will have done the right thing. Because this is a private newsletter, I will now tell you things of a certain sort that have happened in the last two years. This is not just about lockdowns. It is about the reality that we had a tremendous pandemic with treatments that have been known about since March 2020 and which have been more-or-less abolished over two years. Astounding. So imagine yourself suffering with Covid. You know there are therapeutics out there that can help or even cure you. You have read the studies. You have seen the research. You ask your doctor for a prescription which he gives you. But the pharmacy will not fill it because they have been intimidated by medical boards and federal officials who want vaccines to be the only news in town. Meanwhile you are suffering. How can you get what you need? There are pharmacies all over the world distributing therapeutics. In many countries, you can buy what you need without a prescription. Also many of these foreign pharmacies once sold to Americans with a credit card but over the last five years, their banking privileges with major third-party providers (paypal and stripe etc) have been shut down. So now, many of them will only take cryptocurrency. Read that again because I might be the first person to publicly report this: many of the places in the world that sell life-saving drugs will only take cryptocurrency. If you have it, you are good to go. You send in your digital money and you are done. If you do not have it, you have no access to medications that can save your life and the life of those you love. URGENT: Battery Patent No. 3069168 One of Tesla’s senior battery engineers QUIT Tesla and submitted a patent application for a revolutionary new tech process… But he didn’t just quit…he’s brought the chief of Tesla’s entire battery division with him. The man who helped create the original lithium ion battery. And today, you can take advantage of their TINY startup. [This stock]( could skyrocket as much as 100% in a matter of minutes. [Click here for the urgent details.]( Life Is NOT Stable I thought of my gold-dealer friend here. He was wise. He knew exactly what could be coming in the future. He warned his closest friends. Sometimes he sounded apocalyptic but actually he was merely being realistic. We pray for normal times, but we prepare for emergency times. What we’ve been through has been, for many, a personal crisis. It’s also a society-wide crisis. Our own government (and all its complicated extensions strewn throughout society) has in our own time cut off our own access to goods and services that can mean the difference between life and death for you and your loved ones. This is real. I’m not making this up. This is also a sign of our times, a huge and flashing warning sign of what could be coming and intensifying in the years ahead. In his day, there was no such thing as Bitcoin or other cryptos. There was only hard metal. The trouble was always obvious. Gold and silver are physical. They are heavy. They can only be transported and traded in a physical way. This is the huge advantage of crypto and why it has taken its place alongside other assets traditionally believed to be “safe havens.” We’ve lived through this emergency. Arguably, it is still going on. I’m not now and never have been a prepper, but I now get the ethos. We can no longer trust our institutions, our supply chains, our medical systems, our media, or even the idea that we can pretty well count on stability going forward. We cannot. I hope we take this lesson from our times at least. The Metaverse One final note: I watched Mark Zuckerberg’s latest ad for his version the Metaverse, the world of 3-D interactive access that lives in the cloud. He made it a cartoon. It was preposterous, clownish, ridiculous. That is not what the Metaverse is about. It is more about life and death. Imagine a future in which you can shop in what feels like a physical pharmacy but the actual place is in India or Singapore. You can pay with crypto. It arrives to you either physically or digitally in ways that get around state controls. That’s the hope, not Mark’s silly world but a real world. We’ve already seen how technology in the last two years has saved countless lives despite every attempt by the ruling class to prohibit access. We now know what the stakes are. Any intelligent person would be wise to pay careful attention to the lessons, especially in the dangerous years ahead. Regards, [Jeffrey Tucker] Jeffrey Tucker P.S.
