Nomi Prins – Keynote Speaker Who Recently Addressed The Fed, IMF And World Bank, Warns “It’s All Coming To An End”


Today Nomi Prins, the keynote speaker who recently addressed the Federal Reserve, IMF and the World Bank, warned King World News “It’s all coming to an end.”

Eric King:  “Nomi, we went through a round of terror in 2008, and certainly China just went through that again recently when their stock market crashed along with the emerging markets, but when does this whole global Ponzi scheme finally come unraveled?”

Nomi Prins:  “We are seeing small unravelings all the time.  Brazil is doing badly, Mexico is struggling, currencies around the world relative to the dollar are hurting, which means relationships of imports to exports and money coming into those countries are hurting.

China has had problems but its central bank has been big enough and strong enough to boost it at least somewhat back up again.  The United States is in complete denial in terms of what the economic indicators are said to be vs what they actually are and how the markets themselves are being continually buoyed either by the Federal Reserve or the Fed’s associations with some of the big banks in terms of continuing to buy Treasury bonds.

“The ECB is still on a mission, and as of the November 12th announcement from Mario Draghi, an even stronger mission to continue to infuse those markets with artificial money and perhaps even enhance their quantitive easing program.

It’s All Coming To An End

So you ask, ‘When is this all coming to an end?’  It is all coming to an end, but you have all these actors trying to prop up different pieces of it (the global financial system) and so that’s why there is all this enhanced volatility and you have so many ups and downs (in global markets).

(The end will come) when there are no more creative concepts on the part of these central banks to provide the artificial stimulus to the markets.  And that could be the middle or the end of 2016, only because one big central bank in play has already committed to doing their part of it (with enhanced stimulus).

And so that’s why we continue to have enhanced volatility to the downside in global markets that is also met with intervention, which is unprecedented.  But it (the stimulus) does exist and we have to recognize that, as unprecedented and bizarre as it is, and there are indications that it will continue.  And so that keeps the artificial game in play through the middle or fall of 2016.

If Anything Was Stable For Real…

But in the core of markets and economies things are not stable, which is why all of these (volatile) movements are happening.  If anything was stable for real, the Federal Reserve would have raised rates years ago, the ECB wouldn’t have needed to come up with another round of quantitative easing, the People’s Bank of China wouldn’t need to reduce the reserve requirements to their financial institutions in order to give them more money to play with — none of that would be happening.

So we are in a state of deterioration.  The timing of an eventual implosion has to do with when the big banks have nothing left to counteract the artificial markets coming apart that they themselves have created.  Eric, this is why I’m working on a book right now titled Artisans of Money, to examine the extent to which the financial system is in play and is shifting in terms of its very paradigm.

We have never had what we’ve experienced since 2008 in terms of central bank interventions in the financial markets.  So what I am doing right now for this book is traveling and talking to central bank leaders and members around the world, and looking at how things are on the ground in major countries,and speaking with leaders who are involved in all of these interactions and artificial stimulants to the markets and piecing together this transitionary time in history where we will look back and say, ‘That is when everything…You can continue listening to this powerful audio interview with Nomi Prins, where she discusses the coming financial destruction that is in front of us, what is going to put an end to the manipulation of major markets, including gold and silver, what investors can do to protect themselves and much more, by CLICKING HERE.

Turk - Frightening Situation, The World Is On A Knife’s Edge



With continued volatility in global markets, today King World News interviewed James Turk out of Europe. Turk told KWN, “The world is on a knife’s edge.”  He also stated, “Monetary history shows that currencies under political control are always destroyed -- always.  And the dire result is economic chaos.”  Here is what Turk had to say about what he termed the, “frightening situation”:  “Europe had its big meeting last week, and one conclusion is clear, Eric, Europe still has to learn that bailouts are not a solution.  When a government or a bank, or any borrower for that matter, has too much debt -- more debt than they can handle -- adding more debt just worsens the problem.  This ultimately has the effect of making the inevitable bust that much more difficult when it eventually arrives.”

“There are other serious problems here as well.  For example, there are several countries in Europe, of which Germany is the largest, that want to pursue a monetary policy in which the euro maintains its purchasing power.  They want to make sure the currency is not debased by inflation or other bad monetary steps, such as the ECB purchasing debt/bonds of countries, to enable those countries to fund their operating expenses.

In other words, this group of countries wants the euro to be managed like the deutsche mark was managed, which, after all, is what the rules of the eurozone provide.  But these rules are being broken left and right, with the result being that the euro is just like all of the other fiat currencies around the world -- completely at the mercy of politicians, and that is a frightening situation....

“Monetary history shows that currencies under political control are always destroyed -- always.  And the dire result is economic chaos, which is then followed by political chaos and the opportunity for a demagogue to rise to power by promising order.  Given its history, is it any wonder that thinking Europeans do not want to go down that path?

But it is clear that the central planners are now in charge in Europe, Eric. It is a dangerous road for Europe to take.  I keep going back to one of my favorite Margaret Thatcher quotes:  ‘The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’  Europe ran out of money long ago.  Sadly, this reality is still being ignored in Europe, and for that matter, in every socialist country, which today is just about everywhere in the world.”

Turk also added: “The precious metal markets feel just like the summer of 2010.  In fact, this weekend I spent some time going through the KWN archives and listening to my interviews from that time period (2010).  It was eery, because just about everything I was saying back then also applies to our present situation, particularly sentiment being at rock bottom.

We had big rallies in both gold and silver starting in the summer of 2010.  These are the rallies that took gold over $1900 and silver to $50.  Last week's big move should mean that massive rallies are starting again, and because the banking and economic situation is so much worse today, on this new rally, gold and silver are going to break their old highs.

The world is on a knife’s edge, Eric.  The geopolitical situation is worrying.  Economic activity around the world is rapidly deteriorating, and this is having the effect of putting more and more people out of work.  It is noteworthy that the eurozone jobless rate, in May, hit a record-high of 11.1%.  If we then factor bank runs into this toxic brew, the opportunity for the fear event I have been worrying about seems all the more likely.

As that fear event begins to manifest itself, physical gold and silver will be your best safe-haven.  It is extremely important that KWN readers, around the world, position themselves into the metals ahead of the coming chaos.”
