Snippets from: Chapter IX The Great Deflation

The Fed created the “Everything Bubble” with the justification of fighting
the Global Financial Crisis, which of course the Fed had also created,
by lowering the Fed Funds Rate from 5% to near zero, and then keeping
it near zero for most of the past 15 years. The Fed has now increased
the Fed Funds Rate from near zero in April of 2022 to more than 5.00%
in just one year.
That the decline in global financial and real estate markets will be
massive, has been made certain. This cake is baked. The financial
gains of the past 15 years have been an illusion. Some take comfort
in thinking that the losses can be hedged in the derivatives market. If
that is the case, the losses do not disappear. They are in the derivatives
complex. Epic losses will be concentrated on the balance sheets of the
CCPs, which, as we have seen, are designed to fail…

When the “Everything Bubble” is imploded, we will face a deflationary
depression, which will span many years, even decades. This coming
Great Deflation is intrinsic to the Great Taking….

As in the Great Depression, prolonged deflation will assure that people
who are in debt will not be able to make payments on their debts, let
alone repay them. They will be trapped. All property and businesses
financed with debt will be taken…
