Is the Inverted Yield Curve in the US economy now as an indicator of recession?
#### Macron give the people their money back
The global economy has been teetering on the edge of another recession for a while now, since the last one in 2008. Every year we see alarmists calling out the imminent crash of the century, sometimes even augmented with dire prepper warnings and lists of tips to survive the fallout. Well one indicator that has really perked up some interest in the financial world is the yield curve that has just inverted.
“The term yield curve refers to the relationship between the short- and long-term interest rates of fixed-income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. An inverted yield curve occurs when short-term interest rates exceed long-term rates.”

This is apparently a clear classic sign of a recession in Investopedia and most economists agree, based on historical precedent. The funny thing is that nowadays with the Fed manipulating the economy to such a degree, this current financial landscape can be white washed and redecorated with lots of free paper money printed in the form of what they call Quantitative Easing (QE).
All this free money and rock bottom rates have pumped up the bubble of the overinflated economy even more than ever, certainly more than was the case in 2007, at the last crash. The situation is so on the edge at the moment, that the Fed chairman Powell has promised not to have any more interest rate hikes for the next year. Interest rates are already at around zero and they can’t go much lower. This supplies lots of money on loan to huge institutions to buy back their own debt and bonds and stocks to make it look like there is interest and liquidity in their business and on their books, but it is like wash trading, buying and selling to yourself to either launder money or inflate the books.
The Fed is basically a big Ponzi scheme, the biggest, and it’s running America. The politicians are bought by the bankers. Even kings in previous centuries had to take big loans from the money lenders to fight their wars, and sometimes became indebted. Whole sovereignties were held hostage by the economists. Even today it’s the private bankers like the Fed that call the shots. They are the house in a casino gulag, printing as much as they want, to afford any debt, while the people in the middle of the whole equation get squeezed like a flannel dishcloth being wrung until the last drop is out. That pound of flesh is what they want out of you. And they want to spill the blood too. Sign your life away in blood.
Well if you thought the bail outs of the big banks at the last collapse we had was bad – paying out your tax payer dollars to prop them up with free money – just wait until you get the “bail-in” coming to a bank near you. That’s when they not only cease to give you interest on your money stored in their bank, but they actually take a percentage of your money that you stored in their bank. A compulsory tax of sorts, exactly like in Feudal times to the nobleman. In other words we are living in Neo-Feudalism. The social contract – if there ever was one – is gone. No longer do the original inalienable rights allotted to every human, as espoused in your Bill of Rights or Magna Carta or Constitution, hold true anymore. We gave up our trust in God a long time ago and we murdered all the braves, and now we have trashed the Bill of Rights.
And this “we” I talk of are a small group. The true elite of the elite that run this world number under 4000. Power is extremely centralized already on planet earth. And that is why the French are revolting – again. And so should we. There are no more decent jobs; in America labour unions are gone. The worker has lost their voice, and their rights. It’s a zero hours contract based on part-time employment with no security, no pension, no medical and no future. Why aren’t the other EU and UK countries our protesting like crazy like the yellow vests – for 20 weeks in a row? That’s almost 6 months. Well it won’t take long for it to spill over at the rate the economy is going. The recession has already started. Deutsche Bank is on the verge of bankruptcy. They are the next Lehmann Brothers, starting the domino effect or contagion among the interconnected banking sector.
And those very few at the top, including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of England, etc are all physically insolvent, and running the economy on loaned out money and coasting the bus downhill to the imagined gas station at the bottom of the ride on fumes. They, of course, have their bases covered and their draw bridges ready to draw up should the masses revolt. They send troops and water cannon and tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets. I see them here in my country of South Africa regularly because we have a huge labour union and socialist, communist element to our politics that fully facilitates the rights of the worker to strike – if the paper work is in place. Sometimes unprotected strikes happen. Like unlicensed marches, and then there is rioting in the streets and the national highways get hijacked and blocked by burning tires and rubble with lots of dancing and chanting. It can go on for days sometimes, at least once a year. And in France a year ago already:
“French students, meanwhile, have intensified their protests around the country - setting fire to buildings and engaging in violent clashes with the police. The students have "gradually started to get involved" with the Yellow Vest movement, leading to riots in southwest France, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and the city of Orleans. A school in Blagnac, near Toulouse was reportedly set on fire Tuesday, according to Reuters.”
In other words it is at time like these that aggressive or nationalist groups and sentiment begin to rise, especially when the bank demanding their pound of flesh in interest from you is a multinational or globalist faceless entity. Basically another central banking elite. The BIS and IMF and even the UN, (headquartered in America) are all part of the same cartel running the whole globe. As globalization is pushed, the Nationalism will push back, while smaller nations and their refugees get crushed in the middle like whole grains under the stones of the mill, spraying everywhere to whichever foreign country will catch them as they fall to the wayside in destitution and desolation, perhaps for a lifetime.
Well it won’t last and it can’t go on much longer. The dollar’s days are numbered as the dominant world currency. That was rigged up after WW2 and that era is about to die a stuttering death, though not without some fireworks for the occasion so get your popcorn ready and maybe your gas mask and we will all sit and watch it get televised, like tourists on the deck of the Titanic.

Popcorn may be too expensive soon, so better start growing our own corn just in case. ;) In all seriousness, though, it is quite a crazy time in global economics. I have a hard time keeping up with it all, so appreciate good analysis like this to try to get at least a small handle on things!
Hey there @plantstoplanks many thanks for the comment and feedback, etc. I'm also learning as I go along, watching it all unfold. Yes let's get those self-sufficient gardens growing quickly, that will be the solution to any economic crash.
I am sure that the economy has ups and downs, here in Venezuela we are very tight and by the news of Argentina everything is very expensive, let's see if we can hold on. The friend asked me to visit you and leave you support @julianhorack @crypto.piotr
Dear @sacra97
How have you been doing lately? Did second blackout affected you badly? I hope noone in your family suffered or died.
Yours
Piotr
Hey thanks very much for your kindness @sacra97 and @crypto.piotr. Great to be in touch. Yes as a South African I stand in solidarity with my south-south comrades in Venezuela and South America. When the time is right the south shall rise.
And that is precisely why so many of us have turned to the blockchains and cryptocurrency in recent years. 🙌
Yes @thekittygirl let's hope the blockchain stays stable and crypto rises in popularity.
hi @julianhorack I know this post from @crypto.piort I think every country must have its own state problems and usd money problems I don't think will be lost because of course usd will be more advanced in the future
Hi @anitacarolina thanks for your comment, yes the local currency problems we all have are bad, with inflation. But many o the problems are caused by the power of the dollar and America's demand that we all buy oil in the dollar currency. The petro-dollar of America is forced on other countries by the military scare tactics of America and it is unfair. That is why other countries are now moving away from using the dollar as a currency to buy oil.
They are normal working class people who feel like the government isn't listening to them. If centralist liberal governments continue to ignore large segments of the population because their opinions don't make socialists feel all warm and gooey inside, there will be large problems.
Indeed @abitcoinskeptic there could be a clash of cultures or segments of society and depending on the country involved, it will turn out better or worse for the masses of working class. The yellow vests in France are making some progress in getting their voice heard, let's hope more of the masses rise up to have their voices heard in other countries too.
Greetings Julian, one only has to take the example of a South African neighboring country to understand the fallacy of printing money.
Yes indeed things worsen day by day over the globe, but the sadness is that God has been left out of the reckoning and the plans.
Ye shall see things that ye have never seen before!
Blessings!
Yes good point, printing more money is a recipe for inflation. It used to be "in God we trust" on the dollar but that has been replaced in the minds of the masses by something else to trust in. Not sure what though, certainly not the govt. There is no more trust it seems.
So sad my friend!
Blessings!
