Cynics would now say that the owners of #Bitcoin and #Gold, i.e. neutral assets without cash flow, have been waiting for precisely this moment when the fourth turning begins.

If one takes into account the fact that the #US tariff step is intended to eliminate the trade deficit, it is clear that this will have considerable consequences for the supply of #USD to the world. The #Eurodollar market could be on the brink of collapse. #trump

#Trump’s towering trade barriers eclipse the Smoot-Hawley levies of Great Depression fame. The #USD’s fate is the wildcard—will it rocket up, hammering exporters, or flatline, unleashing #inflation and yanking production stateside? #TradeWars #Economy

The Europeans will now rev up their media machine to distract from the fact that they have been pursuing a potentionalist trade policy for decades. It was high time to expose this double standard! #Trump #usa #EU

With his aggressive tariff move, Donald #Trump has mercilessly exposed the behavior of so-called trading partners. The #EU in particular is pursuing protectionist trade policies and will hopefully now be forced to rethink. We must move towards #freetrade in the long term!

Poland will elect its president in May. It will be interesting to see whether the Poles vote in such a way that the flawless democrats of the European Commission do not apply the procedure that they applied to the Romanians. #eu #poland #democracy #romania

#Germany and the #EU pile on debt – and the bond vigilantes strike: yields soar, the bill arrives. Keep living on credit, and the #euro’s at risk. Time for markets, not Brussels’ dreams. The bond market will kill Brussels's dream of eternal debt growth to finance socialist crap.

#China is working on the consolidation of its geostrategic 'antechamber'. Will they accept the digital #Yuan as a settlement layer? Or will a #gold-backed #BRICS currency come at some point, which would be internationally acceptable?

The austerity measures of the new #US government are showing initial success: the #DOGE team has managed to cut 257 billion #USD in nonsensical government spending so far. In view of a total debt that will soon reach 40 trillion USD dollars, this is of course just the beginning. Meanwhile, the #EU is drowning itself in new debt.

The #EU has several options for financing its trillion-euro arms program: it can lure capital back from the #USA (lol), it can improve internal investment conditions (lolol) or it can pump cash into centrally controlled channels via the #ECB as usual, thus driving impoverishment and #inflation.

U.S. Teeters on the Edge of a Credit Downgrade as Fiscal Storm Looms The United States faces a threat of itd credit rating. Moody’s has sounded the alarm with fresh forecasts, spotlighting a ballooning deficit and rising interest rates that could erode the nation’s ability to manage its towering debt. The specter of customs risks only deepens the peril, potentially jeopardizing America’s coveted top-tier bond status. What’s striking here is the paradox. The U.S. has slashed budgets and tightened belts, all while its economy chugs along with enviable resilience. Yet, the shadow of a downgrade looms large. Contrast this with Germany, the powerhouse of the European Union and Eurozone, which is mired in its third year of recession. Berlin’s piling on massive new debt—projected to swell its debt-to-GDP ratio by at least 25% over the next four years—yet there’s no whisper of a credit rating challenge. The disparity reeks of geopolitical maneuvering, where fiscal scrutiny seems selectively applied. It’s hard to shake the sense that this could be a calculated move to dampen capital flight from Europe to the U.S., steering investment flows under the guise of credit evaluations. #News #Nostr #US #Economy #CreditRating #Geopolitics #Finance #DebtCrisis #EU #Germany #DOGE

Debt crisis in the eurozone picks up speed What we are seeing in the USA in terms of government debt dynamics is also happening in the eurozone. France, the eurozone's second-largest economy, ran up a government deficit of 5.8% last year, compared with 5.4% in the previous year. This year, the 6% mark is unlikely to be held! After several elections, the country is in a political lockdown and there is no sign of any political competence to stop the spiraling national debt. The same applies to the other major economies in the eurozone! The introduction of the cbdc announced by the European Central Bank for October indicates where the journey is heading: capital controls to bring about an orderly national bankruptcy. This can be done either by bail ins or by inflating government debt, which is of course doomed to failure. What the central planners do not understand is that complex economic processes cannot be controlled centrally! With its trillion-euro new debt program, Germany will join the league of highly indebted countries in Europe, and that is just to kick-start the economic engine of Europe's pseudo-economy. Once this Keynesian flash in the pan is over, things will quickly go downhill. #EU #eurozone #france #germany #debt crisis #inflation #ecb #bitcoin #economy #nostr

USA: Debt ceiling likely to rise to USD 40 trillion The USA is on the verge of raising the so-called debt cerling by 4 trillion dollars to 40 trillion to prevent a government shutdown. This would double the federal debt over the past eight years. It turns out that, despite all of DOGE's efforts, the attempt to consolidate public finances seems doomed to failure when the national debt-to-GDP ratio has reached over 80%, which in the US has shot far above that level. In the end, as planned, the debt gap will probably have to be plugged with freshly imitated government bonds. If the bond market can no longer absorb these, the central bank will monetize them. #usa #fiatponzi #debtspiral #doge #bitcoin #nostr #news

EU Sounds Alarm: Stockpile Now or Face the Fallout (next level stupidity and propaganda) The European Union has rolled out a razor-sharp, 30-point blueprint to steel its citizens against looming chaos. The directive? Stockpile food, water, and survival essentials for at least 72 hours as tensions simmer over Russian threat. The strategy doesn’t stop at pantry prep. It demands fortified telecom networks, safeguarded hospitals, and a centralized “EU crisis hub” to snap into gear when disaster strikes. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen minced no words: “The world’s shifted, and so must we. Our people, our nations, our industries—they need the tools to dodge crises or hit back hard when they land.” This isn’t just about survival kits; the EU’s betting big on our stupidity to finance any crap that's coming out of Brussels. Fear is a perfect power leverage. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-commission-urges-stockpiling-emergency-supplies-2025-03-26/ #EUResilience #CrisisPrep #RussiaThreat #StockpileNow #BrusselsPlan #EuropeanSecurity #NostrNews #StackerNews

Canadian President As Blueprint Of The Power Machine The case of Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, gives us an interesting insight into the workings of the globalist power machine. Firstly, figures are selected and appointed, in this case a former Governor of the Bank of England (sic!). This is strongly reminiscent of the European Union's personal roulette, where former bankers and central bankers like Mario Draghi can jump from post to post. Secondly, it shows that the machine can select and reprice certain assets that, once monetized, help keep its credit scheme alive. If it is opportune, the climate change narrative is evoked and natural resources and energy are left in the ground (co2 kills...). If you need a cheap Eurodollar credit pump, the mineral resources and energy reserves in the ground are suddenly found, what a coincidence, and then materialized. This collateral is then used to create the new credit that this credit machine needs to implement the political goals and projects of the central planners. This is the background to the green transformation that we know from Europe: the destruction and displacement of the private sector in order to establish a new state economy and the consolidation of power in a form of corporatism. #canada #usa #eu #trump #news #socialism #usd #geopolitics #wef #bitcoin #nostr

Germany’s Debt Spiral: Eurozone’s Fiat Lifeline or a Ticking Time Bomb? Germany’s public finances are veering into treacherous territory. By the close of 2024, the nation’s total public debt hit a staggering €2.509 trillion, according to fresh data from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). That’s a sharp 2.6% jump—or €63.9 billion—compared to the previous year, with an additional 0.8% spike (€20.5 billion) piled on in just the final quarter. Europe’s economic powerhouse is racking up liabilities at an alarming clip. Germany isn’t just borrowing to keep its own lights on. As the Eurozone’s de facto credit backstop, it’s laying the groundwork for a jaw-dropping €1 trillion debt mountain over the next four years. The goal? To jumpstart the fiat engine of a currency bloc mired in recessionary quicksand. This is less a bold rescue plan and more a reckless gamble. Can Germany shoulder this colossal burden without torching its own creditworthiness? #DebtCrisis #Eurozone #eu #Economy #Germany #Fiat #bitcoin #nostr

Economic Cycle Picks Up Speed Good news from the fiat credit front: in the #USA, the #M2 money supply rose from 21.56 in Jan to 21.67 trillion #USD in February, according to the #Fed. This is a good sign amidst mixed economic data, showing that the credit mechanism is intact and we can expect rising liquidity and a stable business cycle in the coming months. At a global level, a further weakening of the US dollar should provide considerable relief on the refinancing front and further liquidity. #news #economy #bitcoin #nostr

EU Shifts Gears: Bloc Ditches Unanimity Over Ukraine Aid The European Union has rewritten its rulebook, scrapping the need for unanimous votes to push through resolutions. The move comes as Hungary digs in its heels, rejecting a $22 billion aid package for Ukraine. With Budapest’s dissent sidelined, the EU swiftly adapted, signaling a bold new era where consensus is optional. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó fired back, slamming the bloc’s “pro-war” tilt. “We won’t be dragged into this,” he posted online. “Hungarian taxpayers’ cash won’t fund weapons for Ukraine. Peace talks, not escalation, are the answer.” He also pointed to a U.S.-backed ceasefire offer that Kyiv famously snubbed. Meanwhile, Nordic and Baltic nations—Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are pushing hard for Ukraine’s fast-tracked EU membership, demanding “tangible steps” to seal the deal. Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen is bullish, eyeing Ukraine’s entry before 2030, with perks like duty-free trade already on Kyiv’s wish list, potentially rattling existing members. But cracks are widening. The EU’s core flaw—its design as a political vanity project, not a cohesive economic engine—is biting back. Centralized power in Brussels has long choked member states’ autonomy, and Hungary, led by Viktor Orbán, is the loudest rebel. Defiant on immigration, energy, and ties with Russia and China, Budapest prioritizes its own survival over EU dogma. Yet, Brussels’ unelected elite can still steamroll elected leaders like Orbán, exposing the union’s democratic deficit—and its original intent. #EU #Ukraine #russia #Hungary #Brussels #Geopolitics #Nostr #News #trump
