Liberty and Finance, Released on 5/5/24 (Recorded on 5/3/24)

Precious metals have increased substantially this year and are signaling that the public is losing confidence in the financial system. John Rubino (https://rubino.substack.com) says, “This was predictable from day-1 back in 1971 when we got rid of the last vestiges of the gold-standard.” Governments, institutions, and individuals are drowning in debt. This debt-based system is destroying the financial system and even the moral fabric of society as bankruptcy and debt cancellation become the only options. “I don’t have the slightest idea how this plays out exactly.” However, he notes there are actionable steps people can take today to be more prepared for crisis.
