"It's Not Just About Finance"

Operation Strip-Mine, Warning of War

The fact that Western Neocons are seriously considering sending troops into Ukraine (after Putin’s display of military might) leads us to conclude that the destruction of Ukraine is inevitable…and that it is an operation to strip mine natural resources from Ukraine and nothing more.

 

Ironically (or NOT) the Russian NEOCONs have been screaming that this is a war with the USA and NATO – not Ukraine.

And the long-range missiles fired into Russia proved that point… especially when Biden* did not offer any explanation for his change in policy.

 

(* He doesn’t know what day it is nor what had for breakfast this morning)

 

So, we must wonder if the NEOCONs have taken this on their own because we have a senile president who does not realize he will be remembered for this single action.

 

In Case You Missed It…In retaliation for our missiles being shot into Russia, Putin hit Dnipro with the equivalent of a nuclear weapon that pulverizes the target yet does not leave a fireball or radiation.

 

But here’s the scary part. These missiles can take out every European facility in a matter of minutes, and it cannot be stopped.

 

Sadly, the Western war mongers (Cough! NATO) don’t care about Ukraine or how many Ukrainians will die (currently 1.3 million reported dead).

And they don’t even care if Ukraine survives when this is over.

 

This has been an exercise to kill as many Russians as possible.

Remember when Neocon Senator Lindsey Graham said, “killing Russians was the best money he spent?”

 

 

 

 

Operation Strip Mine

 

Meanwhile, the bond markets are warning us of war.

Huh?

 

Rates rise during a war – they do not decline.

 

Recently the FED cut its target rate by half a percentage point, the goal was to make it cheaper to borrow money across the economy and thereby stimulate growth.

 

But then the unexpected unfolded. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note went UP – not down.

 

Keep in mind the FED can ONLY set the short-term rate – not the long-term.

 

Translation: 

 

This movement in the bonds is significant because the yield on the 10-year is not just the interest rate the government pays on its debt.

It’s also the benchmark for many other interest rates, including mortgages, auto loans, and corporate borrowing.

 

 

So, when the 10-year rate increases, it is not cheaper to borrow money across the economy and thereby stimulate growth.

 

Unfortunately, the long-term rates have risen with the rate cuts by the Fed, and December is a likely turning point for war and bond market devastation.

 

Read about it in our upcoming December issue of “…In Plain English” (HERE).

 

And share this with a friend…especially if they are clueless about Russian Hypersonic Ballistic Missiles.  They’ll thank YOU later.

 

And tell them:
