Kingdom Economics - After watching the prices of gold and silver for over 12 years (daily), I can say with confidence that these prices are not reflective of a free market. Both AU and AG are price manipulated daily so as to suppress any real spike in these prices. Investors know that if AU and AG spike upward for […]

Kingdom Economics - The key word for the next ten years is this concept called ESCHATOLOGY. I am convinced that mankind is now living in the Last Days of man’s rule over planet earth. Take the time to study eschatology for yourself to determine its relevance for today’s events. It’s the concept of 2020 – 2030 IMO! The best […]

Kingdom Economics - The ‘V’ economic recovery is distorted as our media plays up our ‘virtual’ stock market as the reference point for this recovery. But what does our REAL economy reveal? The Trump administration along with his economic advisors continue to claim that our economy will explode upward giving us a ‘V’ recovery. Mr. Trump claims that a […]

Kingdom Economics - Our esteemed Fed has lowered the bank reserve ratio to ZERO. This means that thousands of commercial banks (member banks of the Fed) can now just ‘type’ numbers (called money) into clients accounts (and call the transaction a legal loan). Amazing! Our Central Bank has had this privilege for decades and now all the member banks […]

Kingdom Economics - Bear, then Bull, then Bear, then Bull (why the UP/DOWN)? What’s really happening? Let’s explore the real nature of today’s markets! Our virtual stock markets are not being understood IMO. The stock prices go up, then down, then up/down with no consistency or logic. Who comprehends these markets? Few to none. Let’s explore the reason! […]

Kingdom Economics - Publishes the Debt Clock (www.usdebtclock.org) The new national security law of China has created a dire economic situation for Hong Kong. I would suspect that this administrative region will now experience a serious recession and probably a depression. Hong Kong was rated 35th in GDP in 2019 (among all nations) and all this progress could now […]

Kingdom Economics - As of today our Dow Index has a PE ratio of 24.32 (it was 15.91 year ago). The S&P 500 PE is now 24.37 (it was 17.10 a year ago). This explains why our stock prices have increased so dramatically. Exuberance of investors has produced PE ratios which are unsustainable. What does this mean going forward? […]

Kingdom Economics - It is obvious to me that our virtual stock markets are rigged, managed, pumped up, and manipulated in real-time (daily). This situation has been going on for some 12 years. The recent mini-crash in March, 2020, lasted a few days…and then when growing dire events developed (unemployment, riots, looting, etc.), our central planners (with their own […]

Kingdom Economics - America’s Gross Domestic Product (our measure of wealth) has declined by some $500 billion since the beginning of 2020. The numbers can be watched here: http://www.usdebtclock.org. Debt to GDP is now 123.06%. Our current deficit has surpassed $3 trillion (official) and some $3.6 trillion (actual). Where is the concern? As I write our GDP is $20.89 trillion […]

Kingdom Economics - I have been aware for years that our virtual monetary system has produced ‘decoupled’ stock markets in recent years. Decoupled means that these virtual stock markets can go UP and UP even as the production economy tanks. Today, the Wall Street Journal covered the situation over in Iran. The Iranian Stock Market has doubled since March […]

Kingdom Economics - Our Smart Phones are a type of ‘virtual reality’ which uses ‘artificial intelligence for our experience Most of science has adopted this philosophy called Materialism. This philosophy is mostly based upon the law of physics which is also the core philosophy for chemistry and biology. The particles of materialism are what science has studied and […]

Kingdom Economics - The new evolution within monetary theory is called MMT (Modern Monetary Theory). It emerged along with our digital dollar after the last financial crisis (2008). Let’s detail the basics of this new theory which is allowing our Fed and Treasury to expand currency (dollars) ad infinitum. What are the details? 1. The theory involves America’s ability to […]

Kingdom Economics - The updated numbers reveal that America’s economy is crashing even as our stock markets go UP and UP. What gives? Is our Fed buying stocks? Why? Here are the new numbers which reveal a serious crash in our economy: 1. Total unemployment has reached: 42,203,613 people (this is 33.9% of our workforce…which is shrinking) 2. America’s workforce is […]

Kingdom Economics - Our esteemed leaders are now promoting a ‘tracking’ regime (selected groups are chosen by the State to control and monitor this virus called Covid-19) so that more folks can be ‘traced’ and then followed by the State system. It’s called identifying Covid-19 patients, tracing their disease to all their contacts, and then tracking all those who […]

Kingdom Economics - My risk of catching the coronavirus is only a fraction of 1% (0.0032). Does this small % of deaths justify the lock-down of the global economy? Could there be a different AGENDA at work behind the scenes? Our world population is now over 7 billion. Deaths from Covid-19 are 248,000. The number will increase some but […]

Kingdom Economics - The coronavirus situation has created an environment for a transition to a Socialist State for America and the World. Hysteria over potential deaths (mostly unfounded) resulted in a lock-down and a destruction of our global economy. The core document for this was the Imperial College report out of Great Britain. All this is now creating the […]
