Here Is A Look At A Terrifying Wild Card

"As we move through the middle of the second trading week in October, here is a look at a terrifying wild card.

October 11 (King World News) – Today’s note from legend Art Cashin:  Today we will revisit one of the most devastating economic events in recorded history. It all began with the efforts of a few, well-intentioned government officials.

Originally, on this day in 1922, the German Central Bank and the German Treasury took an inevitable step in a process which had begun with their previous effort to “jump start” a stagnant economy. Many months earlier they had decided that what was needed was easier money. Their initial efforts brought little response. So, using the governmental “more is better” theory they simply created more and more money. 

But economic stagnation continued and so did the money growth. They kept making money more available. No reaction. Then, suddenly prices began to explode unbelievably (but, perversely, not business activity). 

So, on this day government officials decided to bring figures in line with market realities. They devalued the mark. The new value would be 2 billion marks to a dollar. At the start of World War I the exchange rate had been a mere 4.2 marks to the dollar. In simple terms you needed 4.2 marks in order to get one dollar. Now it was 2 billion marks to get one dollar. And thirteen months from this date (late November 1923) you would need 4.2 trillion marks to get one dollar. In ten years the amount of money had increased a trillion fold..."

Greyerz – China & Russia Positioning To Collapse US Dollar As Global Financial War Heats Up

"With continued uncertainty around the globe, today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, told King World News that China and Russia are positioning to collapse the US dollar as global financial war heats up. 

The End Of The US Dollar & Its Bankrupt Empire
Eric King:  “Egon, KWN has had a lot of coverage from Stephen Leeb and Hugo Salinas Price about the gold-backed oil exchange that will be setup in China.  What are your thoughts on how that’s going to impact the market, and does that bring gold back into the monetary system?”

Egon von Greyerz:  “We haven’t got that confirmed yet but it is very likely that the Chinese will do something similar and stop using the dollar for buying oil.  And remember, China is the biggest buyer of oil in the world.  China imports something like $150 billion worth of oil every year…"

ALERT: Multi-Billionaire Hugo Salinas Price Says This Catalyst Has Gold Headed Thousands Of Dollars Higher

"On the heels of Wednesday’s propaganda being spewed out of the Federal Reserve, today multi-billionaire Hugo Salinas Price stunned market observers across the world by saying this catalyst has the gold price headed thousands of dollars higher.

This Will Rock Global Markets
September 21 (King World News) – Multi-billionaire Hugo Salinas Price:  The Chinese have announced that they have perfected a scheme, to be launched formally in the market by the end of the year, by means of which exporters of oil to China will accept the Chinese currency, the Yuan, in payment for the oil; for this deal, the Chinese have added an incentive: the Yuan received by the oil exporters will be exchangeable for gold. This gold will be “sourced” i.e. “purchased” outside of China, for the oil exporters.

Thus, the oil exporters’ Yuan will be offered in payment to the so-called “Bullion Banks” in London, who will provide the gold in exchange for Yuan. We know that this much is part of the plan..."

James Turk – After The 2-Week Takedown In Gold And Silver, Here Is The Big Surprise

"After two week takedown in the gold and silver markets, today James Turk spoke with King World News about the big surprise in the gold market.

BIS Surprises Gold Market Participants
Eric King:  “James, I wanted to talk about the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) mobilizing all of that gold.  As you know, the bullion banks, who act as agents for Western governments, were heavily shorting the gold market.  And you were saying there were large backwardations in gold and silver, Maguire was talking about how they were getting overrun in the physical market.  And then all the sudden the BIS mobilized all of that gold and the smash in the gold and silver markets began.  Can you talk about that?”

James Turk:  “Yes, we’ve seen this so many times, Eric, that you almost have to expect it.  When there is panic behind the scenes by the bullion banks and the governments that are trying to cap the gold price, they go to the vault and they pull out some bars that haven’t seen the light of day for probably decades and then ship them over to Asia.  And this just happened again…"

STOCK MARKET CRASH WARNING: “Reversal Could Happen Quickly And Strongly…Likely To Induce Panic”

"After 8 years of reckless central bank policies and bubbling stock prices, today one of the greats in the business issued a stock market crash warning.

September 14 (King World News) – Art Cashin, Head of Floor Operations at UBS:  Of Calendars And Cautions – This year has seen many longstanding seasonal patterns fail to perform. Sell in May and Go Away was a clear loss maker this year. The traditional market weakness in August and September has been stood on its head. Sharp-eyed Keene Little over at Option Investor thinks it may have to do with a different “pattern”, the one that comes in a year ending in a seven. 

Here’s a bit of what Keene wrote: 

While we should be looking over our shoulder for potential trouble, the market has been ignoring the troubling signs and that could continue longer than most think possible. Don’t fight the trend is clearly the message after just a 3-wave pullback in August. The pattern of the rally off the August 21st low is not clean but the choppy move higher fits as an ending pattern. So I would definitely not get complacent about the current rally. Don’t fight it but be careful joining it. I have a feeling the reversal from it could happen quickly and strongly..."

INVESTORS PREPARE: China To Launch Massive Bull Market In Gold And These Surprising Markets

"Today one of the greats in the business warned King World News that investors should prepare for China to launch a massive bull market in gold and these surprising markets.

China To Launch Massive Bull Market In Gold
Dr. Stephen Leeb:  “China never rests on its laurels, and China is always thinking ahead.  As we reported recently, China plans to take control of the Eastern oil market – the world’s most dynamic oil market, control over which is likely to lead to China’s control of oil markets outside the East. It’s a step that will lead to a gold-backed yuan being widely used in trade – not just oil trading but trade in general – throughout the East and possibly beyond. It is step that is in the process of launching gold into an epic bull market as gold becomes the center of a new monetary order…"

"We're Back In The '60s Again" - Bomb-Shelter Sales Are Booming In The US And Japan

"US-based bomb-shelter manufacturers should maybe think about buying Kim Jong Un a fruit basket.

Gorka detailed in this interview how he is likely to engage in a number of roles outside the White House helping the president with his agenda, including in some capacity here at Breitbart News, but also in other places throughout the movement pushing an America-First “Make America Great Again,” or MAGA, agenda.)..."

Russian nuclear-capable bombers fly near North Korea amid US drills

"Russia has sent nuclear-capable bombers near North Korea amid an ongoing military exercise by the United States and South Korea in the region and at a time of heightened tensions over North Korea’s intensified missile activity.
Japanese and South Korean militaries said Thursday that they had scrambled fighter jets to escort Russia’s Tupolev-95MS bombers after they flew over the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea.
Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed the bombers had been dispatched to the area and said the mission was part of regular flights conducted over neutral waters.
“Our long-range aviation pilots, according to an established plan, regularly carry out flights over neutral waters over the Atlantic, the Arctic, the Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean from their bases and from tactical airfields,” said the ministry in a statement, without elaborating on how many aircraft had been involved or when the mission had taken place.

TOKYO (Sputnik) — Despite there was no violation of the international law, Japanese authorities were "analyzing motives" of the Chinese side sending jets to the region, the Kyodo news agency reported quoting the minister.
