A debt crisis always starts in the most vulnerable places. That's what's happening now. Look at how France's 10-year yield has decoupled above the global rise in yields this year. This is causing contagion to Italy, where yields are also rising sharply... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/…

MESSAGE TO COMMUNITY BANKS: watch what the big banks are doing, not what they're saying. Last week at the Philly Fed conf, the big banks' lobbyist revealed the big banks are actively trying to SLOW DOWN payments, not speed them up. And then this gets announced by a big bank...

The American middle class was built on the mortgage. Borrow at 3%. 30 years. Fixed rate. Invest in your business with the money not spent on your house for a 5% down payment. All while your mortgage eroded to inflation. As long as your profit > the cost of your mortgage, you built wealth. But mortgage laws changed after 2008. After 2008, you need a huge down payment or high W2 income to get the same mortgage. The loan didn’t change, but the ecosystem did. We priced out the middle class American from wealth building. But now? Mortgage laws are changing. Starting with bitcoin acceptance. Next comes Fannie and Freddie going public. This is how we rebuild America. From the middle class out. Powered by bitcoin.

Trump is NOT escalating this into a major ground war. Let me spell this out with crayons. I’m a US Merchant Marine Captain, O6 (not O3) equivalent. We are a tiny forgotten service with one MF overarching specialty: moving escalatory armies overseas. It’s true a general like McChrystal has far more knowledge about what to do AFTER his tanks roll off our ships. But BEFORE those tanks roll off? They are OUR cargo. We are the specialists. We climb all around those tanks. We secure them, move them, deliver them. Our Commandant, who I talk to every single week, is in charge of that lift. Not whatever general is waiting on the pier. Right now we are in the BEFORE stage. I absolutely 💯 know more about this than any general because I have spent decades training and living the life for THIS MOMENT. When generals want to move escalatory army divisions overseas, they call us. We don’t specialize in every branch. Naval, Air Force, USMC, Special Forces movements have their own lift pipelines. We can help, but that’s not our core mission. But if you want to escalate a war with heavy ground forces? I get a call. The Air Force has already called us to move more bombs into theater. So yes, the air campaign can escalate. But there are ZERO plans to escalate this into a large scale ground invasion. ZERO. This cannot be done by airlift. The USAF can’t even get their own bombs overseas right now, let alone divisions of army units. And if I do get the call, it will be months before we are landing tanks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So I repeat… this CAN NOT turn into a major war without my phone ringing. You can send Marines and air assault units without tanks to do raids but a major landing force like McChrystal is talking about just is not happening. Not yet. Not for months, if ever. And when it does happen I will tell you because you can’t move Army divisions in secret. Not since the Army, in a moment of idiocy, sold off its Merchant Marine preposition fleet last year.

People are selling gold because of a liquidity crisis not because inflation is going to go down

Our printers will run hot. Credit creation is a must to achieve our strategic goals of re-shoring industries. The kicker: the rest of the world’s will run even hotter. Why? Dollars will flow freely inside the US, but get REALLY scarce outside it. US dollar liquidity is the true lynchpin in the global economy. When dollars get expensive, things start to break. This show is just starting🍿

How does the United States re-industrialize? Public Credit. - Government-backed loans for key projects - Price floors for critical materials and minerals - Equity stakes in strategically important companies This is the playbook for the next phase of the domestic economy.

The era of bitcoin as collateral is upon us.

For idiots calling for Treasury market collapse, have fun celebrating the fact Treasury yields are all the way up to.... ....equilibrium levels for the past three years. Choose your idiots wisely!

Successful businesses of the future will have: - Cash flow positive operations - Bitcoin on the balance sheet - The cohort of Gen Z that refuse to lose Awesome to see of what @halstonvalencia’s done and doing over at @bitcoinwell 🚀

Today's volatility source, among several other war news headlines around ballistic missiles.

Trump says Putin wants peace and Zelenskyy is the obstacle. Russia's Foreign Ministry names Britain as the saboteur. Two great powers pointing at the same enemy is not a coincidence — it's the sound of the imperial chessboard being flipped over.
