The recent stock rally was fueled by liquidity injections from BOJ, PBOC, and TGA drawdowns. However, BOJ and TGA are tapped out, leaving PBOC as the wildcard. The debt ceiling in the US will be raised in August or September, leading to massive liquidity withdrawal and a liquidity cliff. The Fed may intervene, but the higher the markets go, the more violent the liquidity cliff will be. Be cautious and aware of what you're buying.

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

1/ The rally in stocks since October has been made possible by massive liquidity injections by the BOJ, PBOC, and TGA drawdowns. Let's look at these liquidity sources going forward: BOJ - This liquidity is tapped out. They can't buy more JGBs if they already own them all. https://t.co/umRym2VJWW

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

2/ TGA is the next easiest and totally calculable. ~$300B more of drawdowns (liquidity injections) due to debt ceiling then also tapped out. https://t.co/kporfv4Eou

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

3/ PBOC is the wildcard and likes to go against the grain. Could they continue this unprecedented pace of injection? Possibly. Are they likely to? I tend to agree with the mean reversionists: https://t.co/Odiehvjcwd

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

4/ What does this all mean for risk assets? Hard to say before a the debt ceiling gets raised in the US as the TGA drawdown is a massive injection and could offset a likely fall off in injections from BOJ and PBOC, but there is a bookend to this source: https://t.co/Uc3O6TNQ9k

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

5/ So come August or September (at the latest) the debt ceiling will get raised and the treasury will come out with massive issuance which is a massive liquidity withdrawal on top of the Feds $95B/m of QT. This is going to be a MAJOR problem for asset prices. #liquiditycliff

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

6/ This is a public service announcement to know what you are buying here. Yes, the tape looks amazing, and yes inflation has softened, but you are also buying an embedded assumption that the Fed cancels QT and comes in concurrent with the #liquiditycliff to monetize the debt.

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

7/ Otherwise we are going to get to test out what unprecedented liquidity drain does to asset prices. Will the FED and other central bankers eventually step in? ABSOLUTELY. Will they intervene before the crash in asset prices? You decide.

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

8/ But remember, price drives narratives. Especially if this market levitates higher, talking heads will make up all kinds of reasons to explain it when it's really just TGA liquidity. In this scenario, VIX drops lower, and the Fed has no cover to proactively pivot to QE.

@AllVentured - AllThingsVentured

9/ The higher markets go and the more participants are lulled into complacency and higher leverage by a falling VIX and the "new bull market" or even "new paradigm" narrative, the more violent the #liquiditycliff will be when it hits.

Global liquidity has been a concern since November 2022. Nonbank institutions have increased their role in providing funding, which means they have assumed bigger risks in lending practices than commercial banks. When the downturn comes, the share of nonperforming and/or defaulted loans will grow higher than before. The composition of global liquidity has shifted from loans of commercial banks to debt securities as the main source. China has been responsible for the vast majority of creation of new money, essentially liquidity, since 2009. The financial market rout of Sept-Oct was no coincidence nor a surprise. The PBoC flooded the global financial system with money liquidity in November. The financial system may experience a cataclysmic draining of liquidity during the next few months by accident.

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Past week I promised a (long) thread on global #liquidity and so, here goes! I have been analyzing the current state global liquidity since early November. Then I warned on possibility of an outright collapse of market liquidity. 🧵1/25 https://mtmalinen.substack.com/p/global-liquidity-collapse-approaches

Global liquidity collapse approaches The hidden fracture lines of global finance mtmalinen.substack.com

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Basically, I re-iterated our original warning from October 2018, when we had discovered that: 1. Global outside-US dollar denominated debt has risen to a record. 2. The role of non-bank institutions on providing funding has increased. 2/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

3. The composition of international credit has shifted from bank loans to debt securities. These straight-forwardly implied that: "The increased role of non-bank institutions in providing credit means that an increasing proportion of international finance comes..." 3/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

"...from unregulated sources. Effectively, this means that these institutions, including money market funds, investments banks, etc., have unwittingly assumed even bigger risks in their lending practices than commercial banks." 4/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

"This also means that when the downturn comes, the share of non-performing and/or defaulted loans will grow higher than before." I continued by analyzing the data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on the composition of global liquidity (data updated to Q3). 5/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

It showed a relatively major and historical change in the composition of global liquidity from loans of commercial banks to debt securities as the main source. This implied that: 6/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

1) Because a higher share of global credit provision is on the hands of unregulated banks, this means that they have, almost surely, taken bigger risks in their lending activities making them prone to losses and to rapid withdrawing of lending, when the downturn hits. 7/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

2. Corporations have been turning more on the capital markets in their search for funding. Rising yields imply that especially the ‘zombified’ corporations may (are likely to) get into serious trouble, when then next downturn hits (basically here already), hitting liquidity. 8/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

3. The banking sector took, what looks like a mortal hit, during the Corona lockdowns, as we correctly assumed. Alas, the onset of another global banking crisis in 2020 was covered (hidden) by the authorities, implying that it can re-ignite, basically, at any moment. 9/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Still, the year-end passed by without any serious hiccups in the financial markets. What happened? Was all the 'doom-and-gloom' unfounded? Had the financial system miraculously mended itself? No. 10/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

I was forced to dig deeper on murky world of global financial flows to see, whether I had been wrong with my dire predictions. I needed to understand, why the year-end passed and 2023 started with such an ease in the credit markets. This yielded an 'epiphany'. 11/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

We discovered in early 2017 that China had driven the global business cycle since 2009. We also discovered that China had been responsible for vast majority of creation of new money (essentially) liquidity for the same period of time. 12/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

For reasons unclear to us, we failed to understand the effect of this to global market liquidity. 🤷‍♂️ Well, every once and a while, everyone misses something. 😁 However, what we did not discover back then was how cyclical or even seasonal Chinese liquidity injections were. 13/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

In early February, I published this figure, which shows the global money supply of the five major industrial nations/areas. It shows that the financial market rout of Sept/Oct was no coincidence nor a surprise. 14/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Between September and October, 2022, the world economy suddenly lost over $500 billion worth of liquidity, which is the biggest drop on record (since 2000). November, however, saw a nearly matching increase. What happened? @dlacalle_IA @DiMartinoBooth @BradHuston 15/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Firstly, central banks reacted. The BoE and the BOJ stepped back into the bond markets, but there was, also joint actions of central banks. For example, like from a 'strike of wand', the BoJ, BoE, Fed and the PBoC started to increase their foreign exchange reserves. 16/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

The foreign exchange reserves can include foreign currencies (including foreign currency swaps), bonds, treasury bills, gold, and other government securities. Whatever the increase of FX-reserves consisted of, they surely contributed to the increase in global money supply. 17/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

But there was more. China (i.e. the PBoC) flooded the global financial system with money (liquidity) in November. Currently, China is dominating the landscape of global money supply. 18/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

The PBoC makes gargantuan injections and drains of liquidity to and from the global financial system. The September/October crash occurred because the draining of Chinese liquidity coincided with the liquidity-drain of all other central banks (QT, etc.). 19/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Moreover, QT:s of the Federal Reserve, the ECB and the BoE are likely to continue draining global money supply. This makes markets more vulnerable to the actions of China, unless western central banks constantly increase money through "other means", like swap-agreements. 20/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Other option would be commercial banks matching this drain though increased lending. However, because these "other means" of central banks are de facto temporary and because, e.g., banks in the U.S. are tightening lending standards rapidly and... 21/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

...because global bank lending activity has been in decline (see above), this implies that at some point the fate of the global financial system will be almost totally subjected to the ‘whims’ of the PBoC. 22/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

And, because the Chinese liquidity-injections seem to be on a declining trend (see above), the financial system may experience a cataclysmic draining of liquidity during the next few months "by accident". This would occur in a situation: 23/

@mtmalinen - Tuomas Malinen

Where the Chinese “draining” would coincidence with a rolling back of the temporary support measures of other central banks, continuing QT and, in the worst-case, a notable decline in bank lending. Such a shock may very well be approaching.👇 24/ https://mtmalinen.substack.com/p/the-sorcery-of-central-bankers

100-year-old Henny Kissinger's visit to China raises questions. It's not about the trade war or Taiwan, but something bigger. Behind closed doors, Kissinger and Xi discussed a matter that affects us all. The US debt, a staggering $314 trillion, poses a grave threat. Its crash will devastate economies, wiping out jobs and pensions. Did Xi make a fatal error with China's deleveraging campaign? By defusing its own economic time bomb, China averted disaster. However, Western experts claim Xi is pushing China towards collapse. Amidst lower housing prices, Kissinger's trip to Beijing hints at discussions on minimizing damage in the event of a war between China and the US.

100-year-old Henny Kissinger went to China for what reason? It's not about US debt, not about the trade war, not even about Taiwan. In this thread, we find out what Kissinger and Xi discussed behind closed doors, something that will affect us all. #1/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

The biggest threat to the world is not China, but $31.4 trillion US debt. US bonds price will crash inevitably and nuke many countries' economies. Hundreds of millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in pensions will disappear. Why wouldn't Kissinger ask China to help? #2/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

When Xi Jinping started his 1st term, he was advised that the Chinese economy couldn't withstand the US bonds crash. China's deleveraging campaign was launched in 2013. It sent the two largest real estate developers to bankruptcy in 2021. Did Xi make a deadly mistake? #3/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

During my first visit in 2018, everyone in China was in a state of euphoria. Businesses borrowed like crazy to expand. Housing prices were sky-high. Jack Ma was further expanding his empire by giving young Chinese free loans. It was a disaster waiting to happen. #4/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

By popping its own financial and real estate bubbles, in a controlled manner, the Chinese government defused an economic time bomb. But Western experts say Xi is driving China into the brink of collapse, right? #5/10

If a 100-year-old man is going to go on a plane for 14 hours, he'll need a medical team along with him. Kissenger jeopardized his health to travel to China for what reason? It's got to be something about his own legacy. #8/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

China has spent the past decade insulating itself from the inevitable US bonds crash. It won't be as enthusiastic about saving the US as in 2008. The US economy is near its end. The only exit is war. Kissinger travelled to Beijing to discuss the possibility of war. #9/10

@KeaweWong - Keawe Wong 凯王

Kissinger's trip to Beijing has only one purpose – to discuss how to minimize damage when (not if) a war breaks out between China and the US. I hate being so doom and gloom. But here is a Chinese phrase – 危机 Whenever danger lurks, opportunity awaits. #10

China's Evergrande crisis is a ticking time bomb. With 17 trillion RMB in liabilities and only 9 billion in cash, the real estate giant is insolvent. If its debts were written off, it would wipe out 40% of ICBC's capital base, the world's largest bank. China's banking system is in dire straits, with unreliable NPL statistics and a lack of liquidity. This is why Beijing can't afford to stimulate the economy. The macro implications are clear: the individual events you hear about are just distractions from the bigger picture.

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

Twitter China Galaxy Brains continue to churn out hot takes and think pieces wondering why Communists won't suddenly go free market and why Beijing won't make it rain. I've pointed out their broke and communist. Now let's make it interesting and include Evergrande financials 1/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

As noted, Evergrande has 1.7 TRILLION RMB in current liabilities and 9 BILLION in cash on hand. If you don't have a Harvard MBA able to decipher such complex data: that's bad. This is like having $100k in the bank and a $2 million balance on the over due credit card 2/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

Evergrande assets are of course in unsold apartments but let's focus for now on a tale of the tape to provide some framework for these numbers and how it impacts the larger question of macro policy and China not having money. By ANY banking standard, Evergrande is COMPLETELY 3/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

Insolvent and these loans need to be written down to basically 0. This impacts bank liquidity because loans aren't being repaid. With me so far? So now let's get into the good part. China has not begun to grapple with Evergrande and developer bad debts and what this means 4/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

How do we know? According to official Chinese statistics, the TOTAL non-performing loan stock was under 3 TRILLION RMB at the end of 2022. Let's assume this is true: Evergrande is nearly 60% of all NPLs in ALL of China. We know that isn't true 5/n https://www.statista.com/statistics/1171742/china-non-performing-loan-stock/

China: non-performing loan stock 2022 | Statista In December 2022, the reported value of non-performing loans of the Chinese banking industry amounted to nearly three trillion yuan. statista.com

Let's frame this another way. ICBC is the biggest bank in the world with more than $5 trillion USD in assets. Their capital base amounts to 4.3 trillion RMB. For simple thought exercise purpose, if Evergrande debt was written down to 0... 6/n https://v.icbc.com.cn/userfiles/Resources/ICBCLTD/download/2023/2022CapitalAdequacyReport20230508.pdf

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

As it should be, this would swallow 40% of ICBC total capital base. It would eliminate 50% of their Tier 1 capital. This would essentially wipe out the largest bank in the world. Let me emphasize, while I am sure that ICBC has some business dealings with Evergrande 7/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

I do not know their full exposure to Evergrande and am ONLY using this as a simple example. So ONE Chinese developer can effectively wipe out the largest bank in the world. So let's hit what this means for the macro points. First, the banking statistics on things like NPL's 8/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

Are complete and utter garbage. Even years ago, Chinese banking analysts were estimating the true NPL ratio at upwards of 10%. At this point, that would likely be too conservative. Second, the banks do not have capital, they do not have liquidity, they are effectively broke 9/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

It isn't just demand what capital. Cash restrictions by banks are popping up more and more and we know small mid-size banks are broke. They aren't getting repaid and don't have the capital. Third, this is why Beijing isn't engaging in stimulus. Forget what it would go to 10/n https://t.co/06AOWk2R1V

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

Or how it would be used: if you want to argue Beijing should engage in material stimulus (i.e. not increasing from 5% to 7% spending growth) where is this money coming from? Banks got nothing. International investors don't have that amount of capital or interest 11/n

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

So where is this money coming from? Where? 12/n https://t.co/A60Smd5fas

@BaldingsWorld - Engagement Director Balding 大老板

So when you hear that "Beijing just needs to do X" to return things to normal understand the individual events you hear about and how this impacts the macro-BS you are being sold.

A financial crisis is unfolding in China, causing panic among depositors. The situation is spreading to other countries like Japan, Australia, Canada, and the US. This crisis coincides with the push for digital currencies, which could lead to unprecedented defaults in banks. The real estate market worldwide is also facing significant problems. Governments are promoting central bank digital currencies as a solution. Banks globally are at risk, and if interest rates remain high, the vulnerability will increase. The scenario could lead to a wave of bank bankruptcies, prompting the adoption of central bank digital currencies. People's deposits would be tokenized, offering perceived security. However, it's important to question the need for traditional banks and consider alternative options like Bitcoin. #financialcrisis #digitalcurrencies #bankruptcies #realestate

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

🚨 IMPORTANT: A financial "bomb" just detonated in China. Everyone in the crypto space needs to know this now. A thread 🧵

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

1/ A banking panic has recently erupted in China. Frightened depositors are storming the Guangzhou Bank and this is just the beginning. Since last week, a wave of panic has swept across the country's banking system. Branches of the Guangzhou Bank overflow. https://t.co/vvtEikkftY

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

2/ Numerous videos have surfaced on the internet showing depositors standing in long queues at various bank branches to withdraw their money. The banking panic is now spreading beyond China to Japan, Australia, Canada, the United States, and other countries worldwide. https://t.co/RLxcO4okPa

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

3/ This is happening while everyone is distracted by another war. This fundamental shift towards digital currencies goes unnoticed. Right now, there is serious and man-made pressure on regional banks by central banks. https://t.co/ll8jWqwCET

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

4/ As previously mentioned in the thread about central bank reports: - We predict a wave of defaults. - They will hit small, regional, and even large banks at a scale unprecedented. Even Lehman Brothers' 2008 scenario could seem like a children's story in comparison. https://t.co/jBqwai9k5x

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

5/ In this thread, we will delve into the precise details of what is happening. We will also analyze a video recording of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) discussing the imminent bank debacle and the information they aim to withhold from the public. https://t.co/nd3YqkEfrR

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

6/ Another Chinese bank, Zhangzhou, is experiencing a banking panic as hundreds and thousands of depositors rush to its branch to withdraw money due to concerns that the Evergrande collapse has made this bank insolvent. https://t.co/qJ1jYpo9KQ

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

7/ Creditors showcased a photograph featuring a massive pile of cash in an attempt to reassure individuals. But, this didn't help. Evergrande, the largest residential real estate operator in China, has debts amounting to $340 billion.Evergrande is much more than just 🇨🇳 banks. https://t.co/jtSSZZgy6o

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

8/  It has numerous connections not only in China but also, for example, in America. Many financial institutions and major organizations are linked to it. We could face a situation where Evergrande might unleash a very dangerous virus into this chain. https://t.co/eoLp0eJpKT

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

9/  Evergrande also represents 1.6 million unfinished and unoccupied apartments. Five million people have already suffered because of this. Another Chinese property developer, Country Garden, warns that it may default on its debts, and at the moment, it has $200 billion in debts. https://t.co/b5FcA0FdN1

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

10/ It has already missed payments on some dollar-denominated bonds last month. And this week marks the end of the thirty-day grace period for making payments. https://t.co/35f4ZJEva6

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

11/ Look at this - the Chinese real estate market has fallen by 82% since May 2021. What did China do? It reduced interest rates on mortgage loans by $6 trillion to prevent this crash. So far, it hasn't helped. It seems impossible to stop what is coming. https://t.co/ZHCqMlppB9

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

12/ And these are just Chinese news from the last few days. They are promoting the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), pushing the digital yuan. Chinese regulators eagerly support this policy for CBDC, and things get even more interesting. https://t.co/ClR90Ne7O2

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

13/ Here's what's happening in Canada. Every fifth borrower is forced to extend their mortgage within the next year. https://t.co/FoZTPU1bFL

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

14/ A homeowner on Twitter reports that his previous interest rate has increased from 2.6% to 6%. And he adds, quote: "I don't know how people can afford to live in G7 countries." https://t.co/jaBHy5wyVg

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

15/ According to the CEO of Wowa Leads - at least 75,000 borrowers are already receiving letters with revised and much higher interest rates as the mortgage renewal deadline approaches. https://t.co/vUpMstPPYI

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

16/ He also suggests that the surge in bond yields could add about six hundred dollars to monthly payments. Who can afford that? Two out of three Americans, two out of three Canadians, don't even have $400 in the bank. https://t.co/Keqy8PO8Ni

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

17/ How are they going to pay an extra $600 per month? They can't. We will see a major crisis in the Canadian real estate market. And while this is happening, here's what's interesting: just like in China, there is propaganda preparation for the population for digital currency. https://t.co/Ng9gZZm4lA

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

18/ The Bank of Canada says that CBDC can overcome inclusion problems, and in general, digital currency is so good that it solves all problems at once. https://t.co/isXykkOrvn

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

19/ In Australia, it's more of the same. Every fifth borrower is in a deep debt pit. The Reserve Bank of Australia echoes the sentiment, stating that Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is the future of money. Depositors' savings need to be tokenized. https://t.co/LGO5x3F625

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

20/ Overall, the real estate market worldwide is approaching a stage of significant problems. It will be a global crisis that nobody is paying attention to right now because everyone is focused on the war. https://t.co/SCqMIX9AK6

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

21/ But what happened, for example, in Japan? On October 9, the largest failure occurred in the Japanese banking system, freezing 1.4 million transfers. This is not an amount of $1.4 million, but 1.4 million individual transfers that got stuck in the system due to the failure. https://t.co/HLqOu9yZkS

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

22/ The glitch affected 11 banks, including JP Morgan Chase Bank, incidentally. Now, Japanese banks are launching a central bank digital currency backed by bank deposits—meaning customers' money. Also, Japanese companies will tailor it to environmental and clean energy standards. https://t.co/eOWJq7h9V4

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

23/ Interestingly, deposits will be tokenized. Remember how CITI Bank tokenized customer deposits? JP Morgan is also preparing for this. Now entire countries, like Australia and Japan, are extolling the benefits of deposit tokenization. Just look at all of this. https://t.co/JYB9tPpUBV

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

24/ And here's what's happening in the United States. We've already mentioned that banks have unrealized losses on bonds of $600 bil. However, the total amount of unrealized losses is $2.2 trillion. Only $1.5 trillion in commercial real estate needs refinancing in the next year https://t.co/J10x2hkB6L

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

25/ By 2027, this figure rises to $2.7 trillion. In other words, 10% of the entire commercial real estate market in America needs refinancing. Every commercial building in America must undergo underwriting in a bank to get a new loan. https://t.co/VjUaQ7yNcC

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

26/ But most of them won't meet the requirements due to what is happening in the economy and the tightening of credit conditions we've talked about. And when talking about commercial real estate, it's not just office buildings. https://t.co/kzTwHjfujf

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

27/ It includes multi-family homes, industrial properties—everything considered commercial. You understand how significant the problem we are facing is? It's enormous. But they know this. And it's the perfect scapegoat for them. https://t.co/DyEZuqzFT5

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

28/ The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says that weak banks may face difficulties in an economic downturn. So, how many banks are at risk? https://t.co/UDBzXBaG3s

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

29/Perhaps it's just Silicon Valley, Bank First Republic, Bank of California, and other small regional banks that don't really affect most people? No. Here's what they say: about 5% of banks worldwide are at risk if central bank interest rates remain at their current high levels. https://t.co/Lf1eOpFAdM

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

30/ And here's what Jerome Powell from the Federal Reserve said on September 20—interest rates must remain high for longer. What will happen if rates stay higher for even longer? Another 30% of banks, including the world's largest banks, will be at risk. https://t.co/A47ud37xD1

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

31/ So, 30% of banks worldwide, not just in the United States but globally, will be vulnerable if the economy experiences low growth rates and inflation remains high. In other words, we will be in a stagflation process. https://t.co/5qDC4TO8Sw

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

32/ You can see for yourself what's happening with energy prices right now, what's happening in Israel, the risks posed by Iran and oil. This leads to high energy prices, and they are already preparing for it. https://t.co/54YbTYyfoy

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

33/ Many Republicans have invested significant money in oil and energy companies, so they say that 30% of banks may face difficulties because of this. A harsh but plausible scenario. https://t.co/io6zfVq8gZ

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

34/ Think about it: consumers are approaching winter by withdrawing deposits from banks at a record rate. They are even taking money from 401K pension plans, although there's a penalty for that. They are willing to pay these penalties just to retrieve something. https://t.co/BsAq5Fur0R

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

35/ In America, for example, the repayment deadline for student loans for 43 million people came on October 1, and we see $1.1 trillion in credit card debt with high interest rates. https://t.co/Fv3gWciVNz

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

36/ People continue to deplete their savings, their deposits, even their pension plans. This means losses for banks, and they will continue to incur much larger losses. https://t.co/t9qlZq55c2

@CoingraphNews - Coingraph | News

37/ And now, pay attention to the video from the meeting of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). After watching it, everything becomes clear. This is indeed important. https://t.co/QBecdubDDR

Speaker 0: It's really important. I mean, it's a little bit conflicted. Right? I mean, it's important that people understand they can be bailed in, but you don't want a huge run on the institution, but they I mean, they're going to be. Speaker 1: People need to know, but I don't think you have much hope of reaching a public that doesn't have a professional need to know. I completely agree with that. I almost think you'd scare the public if you put this out, like, why are they telling me this? Should I be concerned about my bank? Like, my insurance company doesn't tell me what they're doing with my assets if they just assume they're gonna pay my right? I think you've got to think of the unintended consequences of taking a public that has more full faith and confidence in the banking and maybe people in this room do. So there's a select crowd of people that are in the institutional side. And if they wanna understand this, they're gonna find a way to understand this. There's a bunch of law firms represented in this room. There's a bunch of people that charge them by the hour a lot of money to explain this all to them. And and and it's fine. I I don't have a I don't have a problem with that. And they all have huge staffs. But I would be careful about the unintended consequences of starting to blast too much of this out in the general

China's second-largest real estate developer, Evergrande, faces dissolution in bankruptcy court on December 4th. Global banks hold nearly $1 trillion in bonds and loans of Evergrande, including its failed electric vehicles division. If bondholders reject Evergrande's proposed solution, the heavily indebted company will be dissolved, leaving debtors with as little as 0% to 5% repayment. Evergrande's solvency relied on a Ponzi scheme, which has now collapsed. The potential losses for ISDA banks could reach nearly $1 trillion.

In 2024, the "hide till maturity" trick used by banks to avoid losses on underwater assets may hit a maturity wall. If forced to sell these assets before maturity or if they mature without full repayment, losses become real. The Fed's #BTFP helped banks in 2023, but the second weakness of this trick remains a problem. The US Treasury Department will compete to raise trillions of dollars while private corporate debt matures, potentially causing a crisis in commercial real estate. The NBER estimates that 14.3% of CRE loans are in negative equity, and banks may face over $100 billion in losses. The financial system has many other problems that cannot be solved by rate cuts or money printing. The debt hangover after the bullish year for stocks in 2024 may be brutal.

@DarioCpx - JustDario 🏊‍♂️

#JustDarioDaily 🚨 2024 - THE YEAR WHEN THE "HIDE TILL MATURITY" TRICK HITS THE MATURITY WALL AND BREAKS? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🚨 During 2023, we have discussed so often how (ridiculously insolvent) banks have made extensive use of "Hold To Maturity" accounting to the point that it is now more appropriate to rename it "Hide Till Maturity" (https://x.com/dariocpx/status/1728786228211015966?s=46&t=Hz7-qku8ZNVPw6L9nBJOZA). Dump any asset with a market value implying a steep loss in the HTM books, and the loss is "gone". However, this trick has two significant weaknesses: 1 - If you are forced to sell the underwater assets in HTM books before maturity, then the loss turns from "paper" into "real". 2 - If the asset matures, hence ceases to be eligible for HTM accounting, and the principal isn't repaid in full, then the paper loss becomes a real one again. In 2023, the FED took care of the first weakness with the #BTFP (non-bailout 😉) that effectively allowed banks in liquidity crisis to borrow against the nominal value of their US Treasuries rather than the market one, dodging a forced selling that would have likely triggered a domino of regional bank bankruptcies. As I explained in a post almost 3 months ago (https://x.com/dariocpx/status/1714455707003830741?s=46&t=Hz7-qku8ZNVPw6L9nBJOZA), big banks too are benefiting from the #BTFP, which is why the only scenario in which this program isn't extended this coming March is the one where the #FED led by Jerome Burns goes totally out of its mind. 🙄 The second weakness, greatly ignored by #FOMO #stocks investors, not only is about to become a major issue but is also a problem that the #FED and other Central Banks cannot tackle, avoiding the "bailout" shame. Good luck putting together another official financial system bailout in a big election year, not only in the #US but also in other G7 countries like #Japan and the #UK. ⚠️ BEWARE - #FED CUTTING RATES DOESN'T FIX A BORROWER'S INSOLVENCY PROBLEM BECAUSE ITS PROBLEM IS NOT THE COST OF *FUTURE* DEBT BUT THE DEBT *ALREADY* ACCUMULATED. In 2024, you will have the US Treasury Department competing in the open market to raise Trillions of $USD (https://x.com/dariocpx/status/1723825931503194398?s=46&t=Hz7-qku8ZNVPw6L9nBJOZA), at the same time when 5+ Trillion $USD [Picture 1] of private corporate debt (bond + loans) matures, and, as if this wasn't already enough, a lot of this private debt is going to be impossible to refinance because no one wants to be that last bag holder of a zombie company without the guarantee of a publicly sponsored TARP-like bailout fund. Simplifying all in a sentence: the "hide till maturity" trick is about to hit the (debt) maturity wall, literally speaking. 🫣 Which sector is the one likely to implode first? Commercial Real Estate. The National Bureau of Economic Research estimates just released in December [Picture 2] portray a situation beyond horrible and now hard to ignore for Banks like they did before (post in quote below). According to the NBER, 14.3% of CRE loans are in NEGATIVE EQUITY status. Many of the remaining ones are expected to face cash flow and refinancing issues due to the high Loan-To-Value in place (average 80%) and almost double debt costs in the current interest rate environment. At ~14% default rate, US banks already face more than 100bn$ of losses according to the NBER [Picture 3]. How to solve the issue then if #Fed rate cuts are useless here? The NBER suggests: "A near-term solution could consider a market-based recapitalization of the U.S. banking system" [Picture 4]. Translated: BANKS NEED A BAILOUT 🙄 We know that CRE is only the tip of the iceberg of the financial system problems. Credit Cards debt, buy now pay later consumer loans, student debt, and on and on. The list is pretty long, and none of these issues can be fixed with either a rate cut or money printing because capital is all that matters to sustain credit losses and avoid insolvency materializing into bankruptcy. Perhaps 2024 will be another irrationally exuberant #bullish year for #stocks, but once the party ends, because for sure it will, the “debt hangover” this time around will be brutal.

@DarioCpx - JustDario 🏊‍♂️

⚠️The great paradox of CRE lending: while owners are freaking out, banks are chilling 🫣 Q2 US bank earnings reported so far paint such a rosy picture of CRE loan risk. Yes, they admit there will be an uptick in losses (maybe), but banks barely show any concern. So why are CRE landlords panicking, not being shy with the press, describing the situation as "apocalyptic" or "a Cat 5 Hurricane"? 🤔 This is how the BIS, the "central bank of central banks," defines CRE loan risk: "the prospects for servicing the loan materially depend on the cash flows generated by the property securing the loan rather than on the underlying capacity of the borrower to service the debt from other sources." According to this (flawed) metric, as long as the property has enough tenants to cover the interests, then the loan wouldn't be considered problematic. This valuation approach applies to "Close-end residential loans" (CERL) where the borrower is typically a corporate landlord that rents the properties. Hence, these assets are as well materially dependent on the ability of these to generate enough income to cover interests. Here is the mind-blowing fact: despite what happened in 2008, banks still need to appraise the principal value of real estate collateral only if they are the principal occupant of the property. 🙄 Remember what triggered the 2008 GFC? Yes, interest-only loans... 🤯 So when will CRE ($2.9T) and CERL ($2.3T) start to be a problem for US banks? Most of these loans are "non-recurring," meaning the landlord can hand over the keys to the lender and walk away. While, as of now, CERL properties' vacancy rates are still at historical average ( $BREIT investors can take a sigh of relief), CRE vacancy rates are increasing fast and currently at 18.6%, a level seen last time during the CRE glut of the early '90s. This is an aggregated number, though. If we split it into Cat A, Cat B, and Cat C CRE office buildings, according to CRE office landlords, the vacancy for the last two categories is already at 50% and 70% in some prime locations like NYC, LA, and SF, with many Cat C buildings already completely empty, badly in need of heavy renovations, and practically worthless. Then it shouldn't come as a surprise that big landlords like Brookfield and Starwood started to default on their CRE loans and hand over the properties to banks. Why are CRE landlords so catastrophic? Because the trend is spreading to Cat A buildings with sub-lease availability climbing fast, signaling tenants' intention to downsize as soon as their agreements expire (unless they walk away earlier than that). Accounting for the current sublease rates reported by CBRE, the real vacancy rate of CRE is already beyond 25% in aggregate 😳 When the banks get hold of a property, they need to start assessing its "value," but again here no problem on the surface since prices are holding up pretty well... in aggregate! What about Cat B and Cat C? The latest transactions reported a drop in prices already up to 35% in the first category and up to 60% for the second one 🥶 during the GFC, CRE property prices declined ~30% at the bottom of the crisis... now the crisis didn't even start! ⚠️ Considering the average LTV for a CRE loan is ~75%, banks are already "losing" on their principal, and this is only the beginning 🥵 It's impossible to make forecasts at this stage, but banks (and regulators) are dangerously ignoring the risk banks will end up holding a huge amount of Cat B and Cat C worthless CRE. Isn't this what's exactly happening in China? Look at how things are going there, with even state-backed developers defaulting on their debt (#Wanda and #Greenland), and #stocks already trading at the same levels as during the GFC 🚨 Add to this banks' mounting liquidity problems, with FHLB advances already at ATH beyond GFC levels and an ongoing deposits hemorrhage, and you have the perfect setup for the mother of all banking crises. 🤯 Suggested read: https://nymag.com/press/2023/07/the-panic-and-pivot-of-manhattans-office-megalandlords.html

The speaker mentioned that further signs of improvement are needed before reducing the stimulus. They highlighted that economic growth in Q1 was driven by increased demand from US households and businesses, offsetting the decline in government spending. However, the job market remains weak, with high unemployment rates and long-term unemployment. The central bank is currently injecting $85 billion into the economy monthly to keep borrowing costs low and promote investment, hiring, and economic growth. Although consumer spending on items like cars and housing is increasing, more action is required.

China and Hong Kong stocks were on the verge of free falling, but the government stepped in to rescue them. However, the benefits were short-lived, and the real question is whether they will succeed this time. Previous attempts to solve debt problems with more debt failed. To have a chance at success, China should sell non-strategic companies to Chinese nationals and use the funds to buy distressed bonds and loans. This would inject liquidity into the system and reboot the economy. The Achilles heel is banks' capital, but if done right, it could have a positive impact on their share prices. A plan based on more debt won't have a lasting effect on the markets, but a brave plan like the one described could attract investors back to China.

#JustDarioDaily ⚠️ #CHINA WANTS INVESTORS AND THEIR MONEY BACK - WILL IT SUCCEED THIS TIME? ⚠️ #China and #HongKong #stocks were literally on the verge of free falling when the "national team" stepped in last week to the rescue. Clearly, the benefits of it were short-lived and yesterday the $HSI closed again below the 15,000 mark. Some #bullish hedge funds that went all-in on #china #stocks in December didn't survive (picture 1), talk about "smart" money… 🥲 I bet the situation must have been very serious for many (particularly leveraged) players out there if the government is stepping in, with its full weight, again. The real question is, will they succeed this time? 🤷🏻‍♂️ First of all, for all those thinking that ~300bn$ alone can prop up #stocks, put your hopes aside because ~300bn$ is peanuts. 🙄 An outright bid in the market will simply provide exit liquidity to all those big international asset managers that have been busy divesting away from #china (and they won't suddenly U-turn no matter what). However, if ~300bn$ will be capital to support a #TARP-like rescue effort then #china might have a chance to succeed. Here is the problem, #China tried a #TARP-like type of rescue in the past creating national AMCs companies (the top 4 are Cinda, Huarong, Great Wall, and China Orient) to deal with toxic debt from previous cycles. This not only didn't work according to the plans, but it created an even bigger problem that remained unresolved to the point these companies faced a serious liquidity issue in 2022 (Picture 2). What's the real reason the previous experience didn't work? Very simple, you cannot solve debt problems with even more debt in the same way you cannot extinguish a fire using gasoline 🤷🏻‍♂️ At this point, it should be clear why the market didn't believe the many "stimulus" announcements delivered so far: because every single time the solution proposed was more debt and no capital. The last announcement of this sort was literally 7 days ago 🙈(Picture 3) So what should all the $KWEB and $BABA bulls out there hope for? That these 300bn$ will be real capital. Here is where China can kill 2 🐦 with one 🪨. The Chinese government directly owns a vast amount of non-strategic companies, many of them well managed and profitable. They should consider the brave move of selling them, or at least a significant non-controlling share, to Chinese nationals with the condition they pay the acquisition by repatriating capital they held abroad. The next step would be to then use the 300bn$ raised to create a new vehicle that can issue 600bn$ of debt and buy out from the secondary market bonds and loans stuck in banks' Hold To Maturity books because at a distressed level "mark to market", but still with good chances to be repaid in the future (not necessarily at 100%) at a profit for the government. This will free up a lot of balance sheet and capital from lenders injecting at the same time a ton of liquidity in the system that wasn't printed out of thin air. As a consequence, these lenders will be able to lend money again and this time (hopefully) to creditworthy borrowers rebooting the economy. What's the Achilles heel of all the plan I described above? Banks' capital. Will Chinese banks have enough capital to absorb the losses in their books? In theory, yes, and considering the very low price to book (Picture 4 as an example for Bank of China, CCB, and ICBC #stocks listed in Hong Kong) their #stocks trade this move might well have zero if not positive impact (since it will remove a lot of uncertainty on the value of the remaining assets) on their share prices. Bottom line, if tomorrow the #PBOC will announce another plan to fix debt issues with more debt you can forget about any lasting effect on the country's markets. If the #PBOC will announce a (brave) plan as the one I described, then the country stands a chance to get investors (Chinese first and foreign later) to bring their money back into #China.

Kyle Bass: The current situation of real estate and banking sectors in Communist China is like the U.S. financial crisis of 2008 on steroids! #CCP #TakedowntheCCP #Evergrande #CountryGarden https://t.co/ENJaRJWZSt

Video Transcript AI Summary
Evergrande, the world's largest property developer, has gone bankrupt, causing an 8% drop in indexes. This is part of a larger issue in China, where all public or listed property developers are facing default bankruptcy. China's economy heavily relied on real estate for growth, but now the sector is collapsing after an unregulated climb. The situation is comparable to the US financial crisis, but with three and a half times more banking leverage. China's regulators are trying to protect individuals from short sellers, but the situation is expected to worsen.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We knew things were bad. Evergrande, the biggest property developer in the world, liquidate. Liquidate. Didn't go went bankrupt and now is liquidated. But when we see indexes fall 8 percent in a day, something's up. Speaker 1: No. Actually, something's down. I think that, when you have a scenario like Evergrande, Evergrande and Country Garden together have $500,000,000,000 worth of debt. 2 companies have 500,000,000,000. Every single property developer in China that's that's public or listed is in default bankruptcy today. When the Chinese miracle and I put the miracle in quotes. When the Chinese miracle was running its course, It was all real estate focused, let's say all. The substantial majority of Chinese GDP growth was real estate and the concentric circles that that's around real estate. And now you're having a reversal after a unregulated and unabated climb in real estate. Now you're seeing real estate collapse. So this is just like the US financial crisis on steroids. They have 3 and a half times more banking leverage than we did going into the crisis, and they've only been at this banking thing for a couple of decades, Brian, China is gonna get much worse no matter how much their regulators say we're gonna, oh, we're gonna protect individuals from Melissa Short selling, imagine regulators blaming a 15 year swoon on their stock market on short sellers. It's it's hilarious.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You will realize that the data of the Western countries investment in China's real estate market, the financial data, are all fake after the truths of the CCP are revealed. The core financial data, including the undisclosed, unverifiable data they have kept secret is the real threat to the west. Because western financial institutions cannot legally invest in China. There are financial rules and regulations in the west. That's why the western financial institutions such as pension and veterans funds, insurance companies, and insurance funds have invested a huge amount of money in China by buying China's financial products and investing in the hedge funds scale of financial disaster in Australia. Australia's economy, which relies mainly on exports, has been infiltrated and corrupted by the CCP for decades. The businesses of the CCP's kleptocratic families, including the Xi Jinping family, the Zhengxi Hong family, the Ming Jianju family, the Wang Shishan family, and the Jiang Zemin family In Australia, are as big as China's largest economic province, Guangdong. All the businesses don't wanna leave Australia, and they can't. The CCP sees Australia as its tributary country. The UK is a plaything for the CCP kleptocrats. They use it when they need it. They have no respect for it. So the CCP has control of the world financially. That's why they are so arrogant, blatant, and obnoxious diplomatically. It's like a negotiation meeting. All the people are sitting at the table, but the CCP has slept with them all. The CCP knows all their dirty secrets. That's why they can do whatever they want, and everyone at the table will applaud them no matter what the CCP says. This is what Xi Jinping and Zhongnanhai are now telling the world that the people who are against them are all in cahoots with them. They all have mutual interests, maybe even sexual relationships. The CCP has their videos. The CCP has money in all these countries. The presidents of the banks and the attorneys general of the countries are all working for the CCP. Similar to Muammar Gaddafi, he controlled some oil, so he bought a lot of terrorist organizations to fight against the United States. He was very arrogant because he thought he had bought the congressman of the United States, but he never thought that he would be killed like that. So China's real estate and economic collapse will open the gate in the west to destroy the CCP together. Then the west can cover up all the bad things they have done with the CCP.

It also touches on the potential collapse of banks, the importance of gold prices, and the religious conflict between Islam and Christianity. The posts highlight the influence of globalists and their strategies to create chaos and implement their agenda.

@TomHutc36490321 - Tom Hutchinson

On the Space tonight.. the whole change in the Worlds politics came up. This turn towards Globalism may be hard to understand but can be seen through many examples in history. So, as I like History, let me lay some GLOBALIST ideology on you. The plans were there for years.. Many didn't hear about them, many plans happened, & many are conspiracy. But the plans had to be talked about, ideas put forward & proposals worked out to suit the more modern times, based on old strategies that worked on the multitudes & others that failed through resistance. So, as I said, the plans were ALWAYS there. And here are some of those strategies for you to consider. 1) 1925: The Kalergi Plan (conspiracy.. more in comments section). 2) 1966: Chairman Mao of China.. The Cultural Revolution. That resulted in communism being formed in China & people subdued into conformity. As Hermann @hermannkelly tipped on the subject by the use of the term, " the Chinafication" of us all. ¹ Moa created chaos, & killed off (2 million) or imprisoned all his opponents within a 10 year plan that left him free to do what he wanted with a public now living in fear & distrust of each other. They STILL do today..& China's current leader, Xi Jinping, is repeating the old Maoist 'Cultural Revolution' policy with a twist as I type. That can only mean more conditioning on the way for the long suffering Chinese. 2) 1966: The same year, saw the Cloward-Piven Strategy put forward in America. The strategy aimed to utilise 'militant anti-poverty groups' to facilitate a 'political crisis' by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income & 'redistributing income through the federal government. Again, Communism. A means to own everyone dependent on the State. Another form of population control. A GLOBALISTs wet dream. But America was flourishing from the 1950's & the timing just wasn't right to instigate this oppression upon the affluent Nation. They had to break the people first, & take their financial status down a few notches to meet the requirements of a weakened Nation, with less means of disposable income. They needed to break America & the rest would follow. And that's exactly what they set out to do. For over 50+ years. GLOBALISTs' like.. The oligarch descendants of.. THE COMMITTEE OF 300: STILL a conspiracy theory from early 1900's, they set up in the 1700's & are said to have run the show for centuries. Remember, even before these groups, Banking families existed & some funded the French vrs England 100 year War back in 1337 to 1453. The War between two Cousin Kings. Edward III of England kicked off about the Throne of France & invaded the Flanders region. His cuz, Philippe VI of France wasn't having it. The War went on/off through following Kings. You may remember Joan of Arc? Well she beat some ass in this long & costly War. It's where 'Sovereign Debt' came from. When the French King lost his Sovereignty along with his throne & his borrowings from stupidly wealthy Italian familes were passed on as Debts to the people. "Sovereign Debt" was born. BANKERS HAVE BEEN STEERING THE WORLD FOR CENTURIES. These Bankers are in other groups like.. 1717: THE FREEMASONS: Again, an ancient group of elites with current descendants & ties to Govs today. Known as Grand Lodges. Rich, Cult type stuff. 1954: THE BILDERBERG GROUP 1968: THE CLUB OF ROME 1971: THE WEF A lot of these GLOBALISTS are bankers. And THE TOP Bank in the World is little known. In fact.. if you were to GOOGLE. "What is the Bank of all Banks?" or.. "Who directs the Worlds Banks?" This Bank would never come up. The Bank of International Settlements (Pic 1). They even rule over the private Banks.. the so-called.. "untouchables," who are: Bank of America Citi Bank Group Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley BNP Paribas Julius Baer DBS Group HSBC Group Federal Reserve Regional Banks ² Continued..

@TomHutc36490321 - Tom Hutchinson

²The Federal Reserve Banks are not a part of the federal Gov, but they exist because of an act of Congress. Their purpose is to serve the public.(Pic of JP Morgan, of THE TITANIC fame as the olde boys set up their lucrative money making Fed Reserve.. another conspiracy around this pic related to the sinking of the TITANIC thats for another day, or better yet, save me the typing & go look yourselves). The Fed Reserves are both Private & Public Banks. (Convenient, eh?). While the Board of Governors is an independent government agency, the Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations. Who regulates all these Banks? Gov's around the World have legislation that says they do, but they really don't. The Banking crash of 2008-2011 should tell you just how much 'influence' & 'control' Gov Laws actually have over these guys. All these Banks are supposedly "regulated" now. But.. This is the KEY to this WHOLE GLOBALISTs takeover. BANKS. They really can't be owned or controlled if they're actually the ones who own all through debt accrued & control all Nations who are indebted to them. World Banks? IMF ( International Monetary Fund). They're ALL Banks, with controlling Board members who ARE.. Globalists. So, that makes ALL Govs Bankers bitches ! Governments need money to run their indebted Countries. The Western World is beyond broke. A deliberate plan to make them so, for over 50+ years as I said. Debts are off the charts in the Western BLOCS Nations that use the FIAT system of finance. The opposite to the BLOCS Nations are the BRICS Nations. They're doing quite well in comparison to the BLOCS. All GLOBALISTS are Bankers as stated. They rely on Debt repayments on borrowings to make money. So, in typical Banker wanker fashion, they screw over Countries in financial trouble by coming in as financial Saviours & Nations will use the sales or lease of National Resources in exchange for Bail-outs from these loan sharks. Remember OUR Irish Bailout? TROIKA? IMF? EU BANKS? In November 2010, the Irish Gov sought help from the Euro Union & the IMF. Together they provided loans totaling €67.5 billion, equal to 40% of Ireland's economy, to be paid out over the following 3 years. The name 'Troika' originally refers to the Russian word for a carriage with 3 horses, but can be used to describe any type of collaboration of 3. In the context of the Euro crisis, the Troika included 3 institutions: the European Commission (EC) the European Central Bank (ECB) & the IMF. We leased our Irish Forestry out for the next 50 years, our fishing rights, taken, our resources all on offer to the EU. Continued 2moro.. I'm ZZZZzzzzz.

Cont. GLOBALISTS PLANS: FROM CHAOS COMES ORDER. The phrase "Order From Chaos" is loosely based on the latin phrase, "Ordo Ab Chao," translated as.. "Out of Chaos, Comes Order." This is often regarded as a means to impose totalitarian control over society, first by creating chaos through various forms of subterfuge, then using this as an excuse to institute order. Here, I'll go back into PLANS using FEAR. Remember, the objective is simple. Create a New World Order. By ANY & ALL means. The methods are complex, costly & take years of 'social conditioning' to make the masses accept the 'New Order' of things. Hence the Billions spent by Billionaires. Some are through philanthropy, others are grants or awards, or investments. All money spent, to meet the objective I've stated above. Other tools used besides money? Subderfuge & misinformation are used to counter uncovered secrets. They appear to you as 'conspiracy theories' & have that "disbelief" element attached from the time they're posted up. THAT'S Subderfuge ! Deceit is used in order to achieve one's goal. Misinformation? Lies dressed up in part truth. They can not hide all, so many revelations will be accepted by Master planners as lost.. So.. They let the truth out in part, knowing that many will not believe as they're exposed to confusing & countering information or that the 'delivery' comes from someone labelled a full-blown 'tin-foil' conspirator. Who came up with the term "conspiracy theory?" The term was not invented by the CIA. However, it was weaponized by the CIA. In a memo called.. 'Countering Criticism of the Warren Report'.. It was recommended to say that one’s "conspiracy talk" is deliberate communist propaganda talk. (Pic 1) Now that I have got money & information control out of the way, back to CHAOS, through FEAR. In pics 2 & 3 below, you see the recent, & very controversial decisions by both IRL & UK Govs to release prison inmates early. This creates a sense of FEAR, on top of the fears already felt by many with all these single men landing into our Nations. This fear creates tension, which, in turn, naturally makes people adapt a defensive mindset. This turns people on each other. Civil unrest & a breakdown in society is EXACTLY what they need here. From Chaos comes... ? It's happening all across Europe.. we placid lot over here in Ireland had one episode, but that pales in comparison to other EU protests where they're tearing the place apart most weekends. As well as the "Replacement Migration" fears they're pushing (Pic 4).. Globalists are heavily invested in conditioning all to fear the Environment around us. In order to push the Green Agenda. A Green vehicle that will bring forth CONTROLS via Carbon Credits, 15 minute Cities, no travel unless allowed, & no private cars, like we see being proposed in Dublin this week. Some perspective from far & wide. The United Nations Climate Chief conducted a "Doomsday" interview revealing that Globalist Leaders must become "Ringmasters" in pushing the Green Agenda. Prof. Jim Skea, who was recently installed as chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN’s top global warming body, maintains that political leaders need to treat the people they supposedly represent as a literal circus act. Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: "Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism." Another official admitted that the way they are using the mind control fear tactic, is both dystopian & unethical. "You could call psychology mind control" they said.. “That’s what we do… clearly we try & go about it in a positive way, but it has been used nefariously in the past." Cont..

Cont.. GLOBALIST: FEAR TO CREATE CHAOS. Using the Green Agenda as a fear method to bring about conformity. "Climate change is happening now," Skea declared. "You can see it on your TV screens, you can see even looking out the window, deciding what clothes you need to wear when you go out." 15 MINUTE CITIES: LONDON NOW. London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Ulez removal of cars & vans owned by the less affluent who can't keep up with daily costs that mountain up from ULEZ fee's, imposed as you pass by the thousands of 5G cameras.. This commute cost is just one example of the attacks planned against town dwellers living in modern industrial societies. Khan is the current chairman of C40, a global network of city mayors backed by numerous hard-Left billionaire foundations. But.. 15 minute cities are NOT just about reduced traffic.. They're about controlling ALL aspects of your life within the zones. That includes what you can eat would you believe? A Headline Report published by the C40 group in 2019 re-emphasised a "progressive" target for 2030. Green Agenda targets include: 1. A target was set of a daily per person allowance of 44g of meat.. That's enough for two small meatballs ! A daily limit of 2,500 calories, less than the ration in the Second World War, plus.. 2. One short haul flight every three years. 3. Eight new clothing items a year. 4. Private cars available for only one in five people. Of course, there's the usual 'Fact-checking' policy coming from the very MSM outlets that many rightly see as a source of misinformation, by not only what they tell us, but by leaving out information that skews our interpretation of the stories. This is all fair & legal.. by leaving out info, they're technically NOT lying or wrong.. they're just using subversive tactics to keep us all in the dark. So, in balance, I've added a pic (no.4) & a link below to a Reuters article that states the less meat & no cars is... "all just a misunderstanding!" Make up your own minds on all that. Also worth noting.. Keirs Starmer, the new Labour leader of the UK, is a member of the globalist Trilateral Commission.. Which is.. An agenda of the WEF, the World Economic Forum which now owns both London Mayor Kahn & UK Prime Minister, Starmer. So.. The UK is now theoretically a.. ONE-PARTY STATE.. A WEF directorship. And that's the way all Countries are headed. As Klaus Schwab of the WEF said.. "..we have infiltrated the Cabinets, our people are in positions of power.." So, the money invested, the people in positions of power, the misinformation strategies to keep you misinformed, the psychological fear factor being played out on all of us, the objective is to create chaos, so we'll scream for calming measures & Law & Order re-instated, & we'll be happy in our little 15 minute boroughs with everything on hand, but just everything THEY will allow only.. A social construct model built on the Chinafication¹ as brought up by Hermann @hermannkelly at the top of this long thread.. So, you're STILL not feeling threatened into a corner? STILL don't see any of this affecting you personally? Well.. the next part is all about you who think like that.. The financial hits on the way... Cont..

In 2015, Josh Roche proposed a plan for the EU to accept 1 million asylum seekers yearly, issue euro bonds for financing, and establish safe channels for migrants. He accuses George Soros' NGO of influencing EU institutions to implement this plan, which he believes undermines Christian and national political forces in Europe. This migration issue is not random but part of a deliberate agenda.

Speaker 0: I do remember how mister Josh Roche published his plan in English in a project syndicate publication. It was done 2015, September 26. And he published a plan. He said that he is my I'm quoting, he write the 6 components of my comprehensive plan. I just quote 2 or 3 points of that. First is he said very clearly, 2015, that, quoting again, EU has to accept at least a 1000000 SE loan seekers annually. That's for the first point. 2nd, he said, all that what financing is critical. And he proposed to issue long term euro bonds for financing the migration crisis and the migrants' social and welfare, taking care when they arrive to the European Union. And another point which is very important for Hungary, which is involving the territory of Hungary directly into this program, he said that, quoting them, safe channels safe channels must be established for asylum seekers starting with getting them from Greece and Italy to their destination countries, which means to bring them to Greece to Hungary and then have them to go to Ocen. So don't forget that what we are speaking about is not an accidental stories, not a bulk of 10 years of accidental stories. It's a plan which is going on. It was written. It was published. It's known. So we are fighting to get an organized gang called Empire of George Soros, NGOs, who are just supporting everybody who is transgressing our legal system and our regulation and, financing illegal activity captive, to captive, the main positions inside many institutions of European Union, buying out, MPs and other leaders, and in order to execute the plan, which is written, and it's against all the Christian and nation based political forces. It's against us. It's about how to change Europe and how to alleviate and push aside all the Christian, conservative, national based political leaders and voters from the European Union decision making bodies. So this is the migration about not just about migration. Sorry for

I'm coming to the end of this thread. My last posts for a month or two. My future business projects need my full attention. Bear in mind, I'm no expert, so DON'T take all I say as a certainty. There are experts in each field I've studied who may say I'm wrong. I'm pulling all this from a very wide field of research, historical included. 1. This post is related to MONEY. 2. The next post is related to the RELIGIOUS CONNECTIONS to NWO & GLOBALISTs. 3. The last post I'll do is methods to LIMIT pPOPULATION. GLOBALISTS: WIPING OUT SAVING TO IMPLEMENT WEAPONISED MONEY (CBDCs). Jiangxi Bank of China went bankrupt this week. (Pic 1) But a few knew that this would go since 2023. This Banks AGM was up online in PDF format, saying so since last year. People lost ALL their money today. If only they'd have seen last year's Bank report. Bitcoin sales sharks are using this opportunity to push people into their digital enterprise. But Crypto just got hit with $2 Trillion losses, too, & they will suffer more. (Crypto link) Also, China’s Zhongzhi Enterprise Group has declared bankruptcy, following a calamitous year in which it sparked fears that the world’s second-largest economy was facing a USA “Lehman moment”. A knock on-effect that wiped us all out financially & indebted us all in Ireland via tax in 2008-11. TAX: RISING PROPERTY TAX IS BEING USED NOW TO WIPE HOMEOWNERS OUT OF OWNERSHIP WORLDWIDE. BANK CRASH EFFECTS: The savings & loans (s&l) crisis that terrorised America’s banks for years is said by 'experts' not to happen again. But.. they ALSO said last year that China won't let MAJOR Banks go. BUT MAJOR BANKS WENT THIS WEEK. 8.5 million Chinese are already 'Blacklisted' for failing to pay loans. This will skyrocket now. PRECIOUS METALS SALES: THE SIGNAL FOR BAD TIMES AHEAD. Central banks, led by Turkey, China & India, put a floor under Gold prices in the face of outflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the recent past. (Pic 2) The sector uses Gold as a dollar-diversification play, making it popular in Nations with large U.S. currency holdings. China bought the metal for 18 months straight before pausing in May, according to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Fred Hickely of the High-Tech Strategist newsletter noted that China did indeed buy gold, but it was sourced from domestic production. Excessive government spending in the U.S. & geopolitical uncertainty are underpinning calls from some investor heavyweights to buy Gold as a hedge against sovereign debt risks. (Pic 3) GOLD prices have risen so fast & so high that Silver is this years biggest seller. Schroder Investment Management & UBS Global Wealth Management are bracing for a rocky road, & metals have emerged as a preferred trade to navigate the upcoming future volatility, according to Bloomberg. Citigroup expects rising investment demand to absorb almost all gold mine supply over the next 12-18 months, it said in a report. That underpins the bank’s base case for a price of $2,700-$3,000 an ounce during 2024. It was $1,176 an ounce in 2018, prior to Cvd. Let that sink in. Here's where this relates to future geopolitical change. Prior to nearly each & every Major World Event (MVE), there has been a noticeable rush to Gold by "in-the-know" investor groups & money management houses. This is happening again,NOW. Watch Gold sales to see bad times ahead. Investors invest into something they can hold, a 'tangible asset' to save them being wiped out in times of market fluctuations. MASSIVE events happened just recently. CRPTO lost $2 trillion & two US States lost $1 trillion with bad money management on NASDAQ & NYSE, who are blaming unqualified DEI hires. There's calls for a new TEXAS based stock exchange that will NOT hire DEI. This WILL affect us. 100 years of Gold prices. https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-year-chart Crypto loss https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/07/06/crashing-under-50000-bitcoin-is-suddenly-braced-for-another-huge-9-billion-earthquake-after-2-trillion-ethereum-xrp-solana-and-crypto-price-wipeout/ $1 Trillion lost https://youtube.com/shorts/CZ1asT1ugfw?si=ysO8frQBAv60w_fj Bitcoin sales pitch.

As I stated, a Major Chinese Bank, Jiangxi Bank, went bankrupt this week. More will follow. Pic 1 in MONEY post above. I had no space in the last post to add screenshots of the PDF's of their last AGM, held on May 29th, 2024, which is a 4 page memorandum calling for the resignation of the Banks CEO.(Pics) This AGM is following the 2023 AGM, & on the first page below, you will see that it clearly states in the HEADLINES that they were dealing with the 'FINAL DIVIDENDS' last year, in 2023. They seem to have taken down the link to last years 2023 AGM, which I had seen online before, as I like to keep an eye on market trends. This news of imminent Bank failure was highlighted by Forbes & Financial Times articles last year, I remember. Either way, this massive wipe out of Chinese peoples savings was definitely known since last year. Big money got a share of the remnants of the Banks money in May this year, whilst the unfortunate Chinese just lost their proverbial balls today. A total wipeout of all savings. And this is happening all across the World. Remember Silicone Valley Banks? Smart peoples money?.. GONE !! Very smart people, actually, the APPLE & GOOGLE tech heads, we're ALL caught off guard with their false sense of security in Banks they thought were fluid in funding. But.. 4 or so Silicone Banks closed over the weekend & took their millions. ( I may be wrong about the number of banks. I'm going by memory). "What about the DGS, Tom?" Yep, silicone Millionaires had their savings 'covered' for a few hundred Grand, but many 'assumed' that THESE Banks, of all the Banks, were too cash rich to fold. So, tech Millionaires, not too savvy with Financial investments, each got a few hundred grand back & lost millions that went down with the Banks. THAT'S why the VERY clever folks with money stay away from holding money in Banks. "Only fools leave their money in Banks with no interest & all the risks attached," as they say in champagne circles. The REAL clever folks invest in Insurance policies & Bonds & Government Bonds. BANKS also invest in insurance. They use YOUR MONEY. This type of investment is not for mere mortals like us.. we're talking Millions in each investment. "But, but.. our savings are protected here in Ireland by DGS !" Yes, you'll get back up to 100k if Irish Banks fail... AGAIN ! Anything over 100k is gone with the wind. But.. Not every Bank in Ireland is covered by the DGS policy.. (Deposit Guarantee Scheme). For example, if you have savings in the Irish Post Bank, I'd suggest you read this next part very carefully. ".. Your funds are managed by An Post. Since we are not a Credit Institution, your funds are NOT covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme in Ireland. However, we place customers' funds in segregated accounts (known as 'safeguarding' or 'client funds' accounts) with Financial Institutions that are approved by the Board of An Post to accept An Post deposits & that are authorised to operate in Ireland as a Credit Institution, in line with EU regulations & supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland. This means that your funds are separated from our other assets & can be used to repay you & other customers in the unlikely event of our insolvency." Hmmm.. I'd see EVERY SINGLE LINE after the sentence.. "..you're NOT covered.." as marketing bullshit. I'm NOT covered is all I'd take away from that mumbo jumbo jargon. (link to Post Bank T&Cs below) NOTICE: ALL BANKS DO THIS WHEN GOING BANG ! If they ARE going under.. they'll announce it almost always on a Friday. That locks YOU, the peasants, out of access to YOUR money. Forget about your online Banking app, you fool ! In a foreclosure event, that's GONE too, bud ! Now, this is ALL done to suit the BIG BOYS. If your Bank is International. The consortium's who have empty offices in The Far East, get access to Banks & get out their money come Monday morning, 7 hours ahead of you. Make plans An Post..

RELIGION & GLOBLISM Prt 1. The Religious War that is going on right now, without many noticing, is intensifying. Islam vrs Christianity. Here we go, a repeat of the olde Crusades days, yet again. The relentless onslaught throughout history by Islam upon the World is their defining fundamentalist vision of a one World of Islam.. no other Religion. Led by Imams, the fanatics of the faith have taken matters into their own hands. Killing, burning, raping & pillaging all across the World. We may as well be back in the 1100's AD. The Pope as the Head of the Christian Church, is doing more harm than good. Hungarian, Victor Orban is doing more for Christians than the Pope. The Head of the Christian Church is on the side of the New World Order, & all its depopulation plans. As Hungary assumed the rotating presidency of the European Union on July 1 2024, self-styled "Christian illiberal democracy" leader Viktor Orbán has announced a new vision for Europe. "What Europeans want is three things: Peace, Order, & Development," "And what they are getting from the elite in Brussels today is WAR, migration, & stagnation," Orbán said on June 30th, 2024. Some of the Popes own Bishops have called for his removal from the Holy Throne. The most vocal being Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò who has "..called for the creation of an Anti-Globalist Alliance under the Cross of Jesus Christ, the only King & Saviour, to fight against the establishment of the New World Order." The actor & family man, Mel Gibson (like him or hate him), has written an open letter to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Mel Gibson has sent a letter of support to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò after Jesuit Pope Francis excommunicated him last week. (First week of July 2024). The Archbishop did not attend his Vatican ‘schism’ trial &, in a powerful statement & indictment of the Vatican & Pope Francis, argued that he is not in schism with the Catholic Church. Instead, he accused the Pope of ‘heresy & schism’ & requests that HE be "removed from the throne." The now, 'out of title' Archbishop also claims that the current Pope's goal is to dismantle the Church & replace it with an organisation based on Masonic principles. Look at Pic 4 below. You will see that the Vatican does indeed support The 2030 Agenda, with their 'Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism' policy & its colourful graphic showing all the integrated links between The Church & the Globalists agenda. The Muslim Islamists are loving this, & are openly talking in sermons about taking full advantage of the situation. Below, in pic 1, you see a Muslim Imam leading prayer, saying that "..28% of Christians have lost faith, many are Athiests or Agnostic now.." Islamics see this as an opportunity to convert more to Islam, & he goes on to say that Muslims need not build more Mosques but merely take over Christians churches, buying them or gaining them by other means. (Pics & link in comments below) We see now that many Christian Cathedrals & Churches are being set on fire across Europe. Yesterday, 11th July 2024, the huge cathedral in Rouen, France, was up in flames. It's known for being one of the most spectacular gothic buildings in France. This is the latest fire in a long series of deliberate arson attacks upon Christians places of worship that have increased since the migrant influx. Back in 2019, a fire at Notre-Dame in Paris also started during 'renovation works' & destroyed the cathedral's roof, the spire, & almost toppled the main bell towers. Five years on, restoration of the Paris landmark continues, & its reopening to worshippers is scheduled for December 2024. Michelle Obahma happened to be sipping wine while on a cruise on the Seine River at the very time of the fire. 'She' (??) watched as the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral went up in flames, pictured laughing by MSM as the Cathedrals Spire fell down. Not a good look for an ex-First 'Lady' of the USA.

In 2024, a massive financial bubble is set to burst due to skyrocketing US debt, money supply, and derivatives exposure. The value of stocks, cryptocurrencies, and securities is artificially inflated, leading to a potential currency collapse. Key financial executives and regulators have ties to major institutions like Goldman Sachs, raising concerns about conflicts of interest. The situation mirrors the 2008 crisis, with a new currency potentially emerging. The video speculates on political implications, suggesting a possible manipulation of the 2024 election to address the impending economic crisis.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: This year, they're gonna pop the biggest financial bubble in all of history, and I think I know why. Let's start by talking to our good buddy, Fred. If you don't know, Fred is the official website from the Federal Reserve where they publish all kinds of official economic data. And Fred can tell you a lot of things. Like for example, that US GDP, the total value of all the stuff that the US makes that's real is going up slowly and that US debt is skyrocketing. This is not news to anyone that has eyes. I mean, we've all seen the meme of Jerome Powell and his money printer by now. No matter how you slice it, money's just getting printed. They measure the total money in the system in different ways. They call them m 1, m 2, m 3. M 1 is a particularly cute chart. M 2 includes more theoretical money that's just numbers and other screens. And so that spike in 2020 is not quite as intense because it has more factors involved. But no matter what you look at, the money supply is going to the moon. But you know what else is going to the moon? Derivatives exposure. Again, GDP is on this chart in green because it's not changing at all really, while derivatives are skyrocketing. Derivative is the financial term for like placing bets that are just arbitrary that we make up ourselves, not like buying a stock and the stock's value goes up because the company's value goes up. Derivatives are people in the financial institutions or just you and me making bets based upon other things. Like, I bet JPMorgan stock will be worth this much more on that day. I'll put a $1,000 on it, which sounds legit because it's, you know, people make bets, but it allows for huge amounts of leverage in the system. Because JPMorgan stock might go up by a dollar, but we might have bets that mean that that changes our bets by 100 and 100 and 100 of dollar. Although in the real world, we're talking 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars. It's an extremely complex topic, but just so you know what we're talking about here, the top three financial institutions in the United States are currently sitting on $50,000,000,000,000 worth of derivative bets each. This chart is in 1,000,000 of dollars. So 49,000,000,000 is $49,000,000,000,000 And if you notice their assets column, Goldman Sachs is sitting on $47,000,000,000,000 of derivatives, and they don't even have half a $1,000,000,000,000 of actual assets to back up all those bets. Because, you know, when you make a bet, the other side is like, okay. But how do I know you're good for it? And you're like, well, check out my nice car. Right? Like, the car is your asset that backs up the money that you're promising to pay. So, yeah, they're sitting on 100 to 1 leverage right there. And a lot of economists have termed this the everything bubble for good reason. Because as all this money got pumped into the system, it skyrocketed the value of stocks, just all stocks, cryptocurrencies, you name it. But we've also seen huge rises in things like mortgage backed securities. This is since 2010. You know, these are the things that caused the 2008 housing collapse. Yeah. They're on the up. Oh, and so are student loan asset backed securities. A security is like a slice of pie where you, like, put a whole bunch of debts or a whole bunch of things into a pool and you slice up into little slices and then you sell pieces of it as investments, like, you know, a company gets sliced up and they sell shares of the company as stocks. Those are securities. So student loan asset backed securities means when they take everyone's student loans, put them all that debt into a big pool, then they slice it up into little slices, and then they sell those slices as securities so you can make money off of collective student loan debt. Well, let's be real. You can't make money off of it because you don't know how to do this, but they make money off of it. I think this chart shows the phenomenon a little bit more clearly because it's a new thing. This is what we call financial innovation folks. Oh, but they're also doing it to your car loans too, obviously, which are at record highs right now. But also consumer credit card debt is also at record highs. And you all already know this shit. We all know that we're fucked. But the point is that right now, everything's fucked all at once. And the stock market's insane pump over the last decade or 2. And a huge amount of that value in the market is actually just derivative value of made up money of bets propping everything up with fake money that's not actually real. Just making everything look like it's really valuable. Because in the financial world, if everyone's making side bets on Apple going up, that increases Apple's value because everyone's hyped. Apple stock goes up, everyone gets more hyped. They make more side bets that Apple stock will go up. You see what I'm saying there? Just if you hadn't looked closely and read yet, that line says 600,000,000,000,000. But some estimates put derivative exposure in the quadrillions, which is a stupid number. And I phrase it that way because we don't actually know the size of the market because over the counter derivatives are not regulated and they have very lenient reporting standards. Thanks to a certain guy that we'll talk about in a second. And all of this has been carefully executed by a small set of financial executives and power people who love to act like they don't understand the basics of inflation and the economy. And they just could never have predicted the situation that we find ourselves in, but have convenient resumes of being total stooges for the federal reserve despite now working for the government. Cause those 2 organizations are not. Or the chair of the fed who is the master of, I didn't know it was gonna, I just didn't know printing money would cause inflation. Cause I'm sure Jerome Powell did not understand the most basic facts about how money works when George H W Bush named him undersecretary of the Treasury in 1992. So to clarify, he went from the private sector working for investment banks to the public sector working for the government, back to the private sector working for the Carlyle Group during the Iraq war. There's no rabbit hole to be done on that whole can of shit. And now back to the public sector in charge of the Federal Reserve, Or is that the private sector? I'm not really clear on that one. And then, of course, the guy that's in charge of regulating the whole thing, Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities Exchange Commission, which is like the financial regulatory institution of the United States. Well, he worked at Goldman Sachs for 18 years before taking the little revolving door into the government, where he's worked for Goldman Sachs ever since, to be clear. But back in the turn of the century, Gensler worked with Lawrence Summers to push for passing the commodity futures modernization act, which exempted over the counter derivatives from regulation. You know, these over the counter derivatives that are currently worth 100 of 1,000,000,000,000 of dollars of unchecked Lord knows what kind of leverage. He also did a stellar job of specifically failing to regulate the crypto industry in very suspect looking ways, going after every legitimate actor except for the dude that broke everything, who totally didn't have weird ties to, like never mind. In case you didn't know, in the build up to 2,008, the big boys knew what was coming because they were the ones inflating that bubble and they popped it at a very specific time with very specific actions. And they timed it very specifically to bring in our lord and savior, Barack Obama, who promised to regulate the banks. And that did not go well. And today, the situation is 10 times worse and the whole world is 10 times as fucked. And throughout all of history, there's only one thing that solves major economic crises on a global scale. But this time, a global war isn't enough to fix it because it's not just a global economic crisis. It's a currency collapse. And all throughout history, a currency collapse leads to the rise of a new currency. And who have you heard talking an awful lot over the last year about introducing a new kind of currency that's gonna make the world a much better place. And if we're being honest, it's looking more and more like in 2024, they're either going to let Trump win or do something really shady to make the election not happen. Because they're actually trying to run 80 whatever year old Biden against him. And what better time to pop the largest financial bubble in all of human history than right before you let Trump have office again. Just think about it.

China's economy has seen a staggering $3.7 trillion vanish, impacting 30,000 wealthy investors overnight. The collapse of the shadow banking system, which provided risky loans to property developers when traditional banks wouldn't, has led to significant defaults, starting with Evergrande in 2021. Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, a major player, filed for bankruptcy revealing a $36 billion shortfall. The government is unwilling to bail out these institutions, signaling a shift in wealth from shadow banks to more stable entities. The implications for global markets are profound.

Shadow banks are simply lenders that are not banks. And in China, they take the form of trust or wealth management products. Many of them are sponsored by banks even though the banks themselves don't lend the money. The wealth management products take money from investors by promising them higher yields than they could get in a bank, then they lend the money out to businesses that are either too small or too risky for the big banks.

Speaker 0: How much risk is there, systemic risk to the entire Chinese economy? I ask this because, obviously, the the ghost of the two thousand and eight financial crisis is still with us. And we all remember that if one bank fails Yeah. If it's a big enough bank, then there's gonna be a domino effect, and so many other financial institutions are gonna fail, and it's gonna put many ordinary people in trouble. What's the risk of that here? Speaker 1: I think that one of the massive size of the shuttle banking system I mean, now 25,000,000,000,000, you are talking about, the total amount of, the debt to the nonfinancial sector in China. It's about 370,000,000,000,000. So there is only the shadow banking sector only now account for about 77% of it. The commercial bank themselves account for 65 percent. So the commercial bank themselves is as as, obviously, we did the backbone of the Chinese financial system. So, some of those risk and some the losses later are eventually falling back to the to the commercial bank system because they are actually either their customer or themselves or the lender to those shadow bank through those shadow bank to the to the developer child property developer and to the local government financing vehicle and also to some of those private enterprises with less than credit. So so so from that sense, the market proport proport of the shuttle banking system to the formal banking system. So that is a risk that they probably can assault, and and the Chinese government is unlikely to pay them out, but they probably will broker some of those SSLs and so on in restructuring so on.

@DalyAManagement - Daly Asset Management

Beijing's response reveals how serious this is. They're refusing to bail out shadow banks. Government officials are telling wealthy investors: "You knew the risks." Translation: The Communist Party is willing to let China's elite lose trillions to avoid moral hazard.

Smart investors recognize this as a systematic wealth transfer. Money is moving from overleveraged shadow banks to cash-rich institutions that can acquire distressed assets. The question: Are you positioned for China's financial restructuring?

Discussion argues China is in involution: prices are too low, squeezing profits, wages, and jobs. Oversupply in cars, solar, and batteries stems from local-government support for many players. The proposed remedy is boosting demand, not cutting supply, but Xi’s manufacturing emphasis limits reflection.

🇨🇳 CHINA'S ECONOMY IS EATING ITSELF ALIVE AND XI WON'T ADMIT WHY Most countries worry about prices being too high. China has the opposite problem: prices are too low, and it's destroying the economy from within. Welcome to "involution," the economic death spiral where companies slash prices to gain market share, forcing everyone else to do the same. The result? Nobody gains market share, but everyone's profits collapse. You can now buy a BYD Seagull electric car for under $8,000. Sounds great until you realize why. There are 130 domestic car companies battling for survival. Solar panels and lithium batteries are in massive oversupply. Companies are fighting to the death because many were nurtured by local governments who backed too many players in the same industries. As profits crater, wages stall and jobs disappear. Cheap prices aren't a win when nobody can afford to buy anything. China faced this before a decade ago with steel and coal. The government simply shut down excess capacity. Problem solved. But this time it's trickier. The companies are privately owned, operate in high-tech sectors with shiny new facilities, and Xi Jinping is ideologically committed to China as a manufacturing powerhouse. The obvious solution? Boost demand, not curb supply. But that would require admitting the manufacturing obsession has limits. And Xi doesn't do introspection. Source: The Economist

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 argues that China’s economy faces a new threat described as involution, where prices are driven downward by competition rather than up. In many countries, governments complain when prices are too high; in China, the government is angry when prices are too low. Companies are cutting prices to gain market share, and this has forced others to follow, leading to a cycle in which profits plummet and no one gains lasting market share. The phenomenon is linked to aover supply, as many firms have been nurtured by local governments. This has helped certain industries become world-leading—such as solar panels and lithium batteries—but has also resulted in an oversupply of these goods with insufficient demand to meet the production capacity. One concrete example is the automobile industry, where there are now about 130 domestic car companies competing for sales. Discounting is so aggressive that an electric car, the BYD Seagull, can be bought for less than $8,000. While this may seem advantageous for households, the report cautions that profits have fallen, wage growth has stalled, and employment appears weak as a result. The piece notes that China has faced a similar issue before. About a decade ago, a long period of falling industrial prices occurred, and the government responded by cutting capacity in industries like steel and coal to curb production. That approach was crude but effective, leading to higher prices and increased profit margins. However, involution this time is more widespread and different in character. Several reasons differentiate the current involution from the past: many involved firms are privately owned, giving the government less direct control; the sectors affected are high-tech with modern facilities, unlike the older, more polluting plants targeted previously. An alternative strategy some have proposed is flooding foreign markets with goods, but partner countries are pushing back against this approach. Ultimately, the suggested remedy is to boost domestic demand rather than simply curb supply. The report emphasizes that the best response to falling prices is to stimulate demand so that production can be sustained without sacrificing profitability. The piece concludes by highlighting Xi Jinping’s commitment to viewing manufacturing as a core pillar of China’s economy. If customers remain hard to find, the leadership may need to engage in introspection to address involution, because manufacturing’s prominence in the economy is a foundational element of his vision for China.

Speaker 0: China's economy is facing a new threat. In most countries, governments complain when prices are too high. But in China, the government's angry that prices are too low. This has come about due to a phenomenon called involution. Companies are cutting prices to gain market share. That's forcing everyone else to do the same. As a result, profits have plummeted, and no one's market share is any higher. This fight for survival has gone beyond normal market competition. That's because many of the firms have been nurtured by China's local governments. Industries like solar panels and lithium batteries have become world leading, but this has resulted in an oversupply of these goods and not enough customers to meet the demand. One example is the car industry. There are now a 130 domestic car companies battling for sales. Discounts are so steep that you can buy this electric car, the BYD Seagull, for less than $8,000. That might sound like a great deal, but households should think twice before being too happy about cheap prices. As profits have come down, wage growth has stalled, and employment looks weak. China has been here before. A decade ago, it also suffered another long spell of falling industrial prices. Back then, the government cut capacity in industries like steel and coal to limit production. It was a crude measure but effective. Prices rose and profit margins increased. But this time around, involution is more widespread. The companies involved are often privately owned, so the government has less control over them. They also operate in high-tech sectors with shiny new facilities, not like the dirty outmoded plants that the government shut down last time. An alternative response to involution is just to flood foreign markets with goods, but trading partners are pushing back. Ultimately, the best response to falling prices is to boost demand, not to curb supply. China's leader, Xi Jinping, is wedded to his vision of China as a manufacturing powerhouse. Even if customers are hard to find, manufacturing is a big part of China's economy, and he doesn't want it getting any smaller. If that's the case, mister Xi won't solve involution without a bit of introspection.

Video Transcript AI Summary
First speaker notes that China is a reascending power, not a rising one, pointing out that from 1500 to now China had the world’s largest GDP 70% of those years. He suggests that Confucian thinking underpins China’s view of reasserting long-standing dominance, and explains the blending of public-private partnerships and the role of organizations that backstop private companies in China. He describes China’s capital allocation as both rigid and flexible. The process starts with Xi Jinping and his close circle drafting priorities, including involvement in the five-year plan. The plan moves from a small central group to the Politburo, then to the provinces and finally to the prefectures. He explains it as a cascading set of venture capitalists operating against national priorities, with provinces and local actors rewarded for aligning capital and labor with those priorities. The result is an ecosystem where hundreds of venture capitalists coordinate human capital across regions to advance targeted goals, producing major companies such as BYD and Xiaomi. Second speaker adds that China maintains a five-year plans for every industry, detailing forecasts not just for catching up but for what is possible. This framework drives innovation across sectors, including nuclear power, and supports the notion that China is charting new avenues of development. He reiterates that the country is returning to a position it has long held rather than pursuing a status as the world’s largest economy, emphasizing a national-pride motivation amid different governance structures. Third speaker emphasizes the historical perspective, noting how remarkable it is that China held the world’s largest GDP 70% of the years since 1500. He reflects on how technological innovations, such as ship technology, have driven great empires, with China repeatedly on the heels of such shifts. He suggests that this may be China’s moment of resurgence across the board. The discussion also cites Lee Kuan Yew’s foresight, as highlighted by a work by Graham Allison and related quotes: China is not just another big player, but the biggest player in the history of the world, and China’s displacement of the world balance requires the world to find a new equilibrium. The dialogue ties this historic perspective to the idea that China’s current reemergence is both a continuation of a long pattern and a contemporary strategic effort guided by centralized planning and broad industry-wide five-year frameworks.

Speaker 0: A lot of people don't know this historical artifact, which I think is so fascinating, which is I don't think China is a rising power. I think China is a reascending power. And the reason I say that is if you go back to 1500 to now, over all of those years, China had the world's largest GDP 70% of those years. Speaker 1: Yep. Speaker 0: 70%. So if you think about it in that context, especially as a Confucian society, I think the Chinese think about this as, hold on. This is reasserting the dominance that we've always had. And I think if you start to look at it through that lens, that's why they view the blending of public private partnerships, the organizations that go and help backstop private companies in China. The other interesting thing, which I learned studying China, is how they allocate capital. The capital allocation system is both rigid, but it's incredibly flexible. What do I mean? The way that China allocates money is the following. You have Xi Jinping and his close circle of people. They dictate the priorities. Right? I would think there was an article, Nick, you can find it. But Xi is personally right now helping to draft the five year business plan of China. But what happens is is it goes from that central group of, like, seven, eight, nine people to the Politburo. And when it gets approved by the Politburo, it gets sent to all the provinces, and then it gets sent to the prefectures. So an example was in 02/1967 when they decided to prioritize EVs. What you effectively have is a cascading set of venture capitalists who are operating against a national priority, and then they are rewarded for it. And so you essentially have 300 VCs running around organizing human capital in all of these different provinces against all of these different priorities. And at the end of that, you get a BYD or you get a Xiaomi or you get these great companies. And I think that that is what's so daunting if you think about it. So that's another thing that we have to factor as well. Speaker 1: They have And they have they have one of those plans, Jamaf, for every industry. Every industry. So they have, like, an agriculture five year plan. They have an energy five year plan. And in each one, it details out their forecast of not just, like, how to catch up, but what's possible. And that's why they're charting new new avenues of innovation in nuclear power. Yeah. Speaker 0: It's about them, I think, getting back to where they have been as opposed to them realizing that they could potentially be the world's largest economy. It's more them saying we were the largest for so long. We took our eye off the ball, and now we need Speaker 1: to get refocused. I think that's more of a national pride kind of motivation here, but it's obviously different people, different country, different governing structure, etcetera. Speaker 0: Isn't that incredible, though? 70% of the year since 1500, they had the largest GDP in the world. Speaker 1: It is incredible. It's stunning. Yeah. I mean, there were these innovations that drove some of these ships.
