An excerpt from the GTA Member Q&A Hour on October 21, 2024.
Transcript edited for print.
When did the recession really start?
At the inception level, it started in October of 2023. You could actually argue that the recession began when the yield curve inversion peaked in May of 2023, but in terms of employment numbers, GDP, and other economic factors, it started around the time of the October eclipse.
And what happened during the October 2023 eclipse? Where did the majority of the money go? Well, people might assume it went into stocks, but it actually went into gold and Bitcoin. These have been the two best-performing asset classes since that time.
Year-to-date, Bitcoin is number one, and gold is number two—not stocks. This shift suggests that when people are putting vast amounts of money into Bitcoin and gold, they are swapping out stocks and selling bonds. Not all of it, but a lot of it.
When people move their investments from bonds to assets like gold or Bitcoin, it signals a belief that the economy is going to get worse. That’s smart money. Then, you look at other factors with the emerging Saturn-Neptune conjunction (in 2026), and that points to a broader trend of increasing inflation, which will eventually lead to deflation.
Inflation vs. Deflation: The Upcoming Collision
So, we’re heading toward a collision of inflation and deflation. Inflation arises from the debasement of currency, while deflation (Neptune) comes from structural changes like advancements in AI. For example, with AI and robotics, you can grow and scale your company because you won’t need to hire as many people. You’re going to start seeing more robots in everyday industries, helping businesses become more profitable. And this deflationary effect from AI and robotics contrasts sharply with inflation driven by monetary debasement
Governments need to keep printing money and “extending and pretending” to prop up systems like pensions. This constant re-injection of money leads to ongoing inflation. Over time, these conflicting forces of deflation and inflation will create significant economic challenges. So, at some point, someone’s got to make a decision about some big things in 2026, with the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction.
So, as the economy moves from a recession toward a plausible-deniability collapse, we could see significant market corrections—possibly a 40% drop in the stock market. A 40% correction wouldn’t really mean much, though. In response, they’ll start printing like mad and do all this monetary stimulus to prop up the system.
At first, it’ll provide temporary relief, but then it will make things much worse because the currency debasement is already destroying the economy. And this isn’t a liquidity issue—there’s plenty of liquidity. It’s that all this “bad money” is creating a complete destruction of lifestyle due to out-of-control inflation.
If Trump wins the presidency, how long do you think it will take for the Democrats to start impeachment proceedings?
Right away. They’re going to try and arrest him right away—they’re going to try and arrest them before that. The Democrats will attempt to invalidate the Electoral College process before it finalizes on December 19th. Then, come January 2025, when they meet to basically sanction and rubber stamp the Electoral College vote, they’re going to try to nullify it. So we’ll have a nullification crisis.
Now, of course, people aren’t just going to stay home this time while all this is happening. I think we’re on the verge of a full-blown potential for civil war, like millions of people getting in their trucks, coming to Washington with their guns and ammo, and challenging government authority on an unprecedented scale. And you cannot stop a million people.
You think if that happens and they have helicopters and police shooting at people, the economy is going to be fine? You think you’re going to keep buying on Amazon, extending and pretending, and running up your credit card more and more because you still don’t have enough money? Even after you swap that pension or social security check or whatever you do to get by every month?
No. That will all end. Global markets would collapse, consumer spending would freeze, and geopolitical hotspots like the Middle East would erupt into chaos. This is a probable scenario.
The Deep State’s Response
And that’s why I tell everyone, you know, we already know what’s going to happen on November 5th (Trump win). They can’t rig this election at this point. It’s getting too big. Trump’s historical trend of outperforming poll predictions suggests a strong chance of victory. For instance, he was down by significant margins in North Carolina and Pennsylvania in 2020 but ultimately won North Carolina and narrowly lost Pennsylvania after weeks of mail-in ballot counting (which were all for Biden, by the way).
The point is that Trump overperforms, and the pollsters are being very conservative. And they’re all saying, “We think he’s going to blow out the numbers we’re seeing.” So we know what’s going to happen on November 5th. This election will probably be over with by 11:00 – 11:30 at night.
It’ll be a big shock, but then the deep state will have to strike back. Democrats and blue-pill people that you know who have Trump derangement syndrome will back the narrative that he cheated. And they don’t need to prove it—evidence by proclamation, not by proof. Then, we’ll see the potential for a nullification of the vote, which will result in a full-blown civil war. Then it’s like, we’re in the twilight zone.
Will it happen? I won’t know until Pennsylvania and Michigan are confirmed a Trump win. Once he’s ahead in Pennsylvania, it doesn’t matter if he loses the rest of the states, right? The question to the deep state is: Are you feeling lucky? Do you think you’re gonna pull this off and everyone is going to stay home, complain about it, and then go on living the way they’re living, doing what they’re doing, extending and pretending, and continue? So I think we’ve hit that breaking point.
Any insight into JD Vance’s birth chart?
No, I’m not so concerned about Vance. Vance is not going to determine this election. We’ll look more into his chart as we get into 2025 because there is a probability that Trump may not finish his term based on some of the indicators. Now, I don’t think he’ll die immediately, but I think it’s possible he may not finish his term.
One thing about the Trumps, including his brother and his father, is they go nonstop, 100%, pedal to the metal, and then boom—they die suddenly out of nowhere. No warning, no disease, just die in the middle of working. Trump’s brother, Robert, just died in 2020 unexpectedly while Donald Trump was still president. He was on the phone with him one day, and the next morning, he didn’t wake up.
Statistically speaking, any man 70 and over has an 88% chance of not making it to 80. Any woman 80 and over has an 88% chance of not making it to 90. Understand that, men? Better take care of yourselves.
