Ukraine War Causes Inflation & Higher Rates – Martin Armstrong

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was forecasting “chaos” in 2023. The Ukraine war is ramping up. China looks like it’s getting ready to invade Taiwan. President Trump was indicted by radical Deep State Democrats. The FDIC had to rescue some big banks and stop an economic implosion, and it’s just the first few weeks of spring. Don’t look for things to get better. Armstrong explains, “Bidens approval rating is collapsing. “Socrates” (Armstrong’s predictive computer program) has it now at 9.5%. . . .What they are going to do is try to start war before the election, and that’s what this is all about. Their theory is no president that has ever been engaged in a war has ever lost an election. You don’t change horses in midstream. So, they intend to actually start war.”

America’s Power Play: Unlocking Mother Nature’s Metal

An invisible chain shackles America.

It’s an obstruction that leaves it vulnerable and dependent on foreign powers.

Contrary to what you might think, no, it’s not copper, oil, or natural gas. It’s the lifeblood of our clean energy and electric vehicle future.

But fear not, for America is poised to break free from these bonds and seize control of its mineral destiny.

Mother Nature’s Metal – Lithium

In this age of uncertainty, lithium is poised to become one of the most valuable and sought-after resources on the planet, driving a revolution that could redefine the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.

This isn’t some wild speculation or far-off fantasy – it’s a reality that’s unfolding as we speak.

In fact, the lithium revolution has already begun, and those who recognize its potential now stand to reap the rewards in the years to come.

This Action Plan Will Help Turn Your Dreams Into Reality

By Teeka Tiwari

I wasn’t born in the United States. I grew up in Britain’s foster care system…

I lived in a cramped, unheated room on top of a garage. At night, I watched my breath coil into a frigid mist. And the future looked as bleak as my tiny room.

Since I was 12, I dreamed of working in the stock market. I shared that dream with my school job counselor. His response? He told me to be more realistic.

“Be a telephone repairman,” he advised me.

But I knew in my heart my future was in the financial markets.

As a teenager trapped in the foster care system, I soon realized no one was going to rescue me… That meant I had to rescue myself.

So when I turned 16, I left for America…

UBS Was Quietly Bailed Out in 2008; Now It’s Getting a $173 Billion Backstop to Buy Credit Suisse at 82 Cents a Share

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens

Yesterday, the Swiss banking giant, UBS, agreed to a shotgun wedding with its collapsing long-time Swiss rival, Credit Suisse. Switzerland has committed $173 billion in loans and guarantees to the combined firm.

A key player in this deal was the central bank of Switzerland, the Swiss National Bank. That’s the very same central bank that had quietly bailed out UBS during the financial crisis of 2008 with the assistance of dollar swap lines from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) – the central bank of the U.S.

Yesterday, the Fed announced the return of those emergency dollar swap lines as the shotgun wedding of UBS and Credit Suisse failed to quell a spreading banking panic.
