Many people in Europe tremendously respect your braveness and independence. You’ll be remembered by historical past when this all involves an finish.

REPLY: Thanks. I discovered again in 1985 once I went to lunch with one of many heads of a serious financial institution in Geneva. He defined to me again then why everybody was utilizing my agency. He mentioned you don’t care if the greenback goes up or down. He defined there have been no European FX analysts as a result of it was a political problem in Europe since politicians used the rise within the foreign money to validate their efficiency. Saying the foreign money would decline grew to become a political assertion.
As we speak, if an analyst at a serious financial institution mentioned the euro would crash, the ECB could be on the cellphone instructing that establishment to fireplace them. That was defined to me again in 1985. It has solely progressed since then, and now it’s changing into prison to easily oppose the federal government below the label of far-right or hate speech. An AfD victory will assist to push the euro over the sting and threaten the WOKE agenda of the EU management.
Estonia’s financial system was booming, however after a number of years of GDP development at or near 10%, the enlargement charge collapsed and prompted a detrimental contraction. The 2007-2010 financial recession was not such a delicate touchdown. The sharp slowdown within the Estonian financial system that started in 2007 is now plain. They jailed an economist for saying it could flip down. If I went to London at this time, Starmer would most likely throw me in jail for one thing I mentioned 10 years in the past.
That is merely a mirrored image that the financial system is popping down, and the Sovereign Debt Disaster is beginning to come to a head. Trump at the very least understands debt. He could also be referred to as many names, however the problem will come to gentle, and he at the very least comprehends a debt disaster, whereas our legislators assume that is how they run the federal government, and somebody will at all times purchase their debt. Once they can’t promote the brand new debt to repay the outdated, all the things will come crashing down. That is beginning to come to a head this yr, going into 2026. They’ll impose capital controls in Europe. They’re attempting speech controls first.
Olaf Scholz assumed workplace in December 2021. Simply take a look at the German bond market. It went right into a panic decline in 2022. Europe goes to have a debt disaster actually starting to floor subsequent yr. However an increasing number of persons are going to take discover this yr.
The polls nonetheless present that the Union (CDU/CSU) is main with a median of 30%, whereas the second strongest is the AfD, operating about 21%. The subsequent election will likely be on February twenty third, 2025.
We will see that we do have a Panic Cycle the week main into the election that weekend. Then, there may be choppiness for the next 3 weeks with a string of Directional Adjustments.
Alice Weidel of the AFD delivered a speech that hit residence in Germany, exposing Scholz and his left-green authoritarian seizure of Germany. She defined that whereas migrants had been attacking our folks, Scholz had tried to silence the opposition and had even tried to ban the AfD. She mentioned: “Somebody who thinks so authoritarian shouldn’t be the Chancellor of Germany.”
We present a Directional Change and a Panic Cycle due in February that traces up with the German election. An AfD victory can ship the greenback larger and begin to unwind the Euro. It’s now 26 years for the reason that start of the euro. Cyclically, that is simply time for the stress to emerge since it’s unlikely that the euro will nonetheless exist by 2030 – 31 years from its creation.
