IMF Warns Of GLOBAL RECESSION Due To War
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that a global recession is coming, thanks to the war with Iran. Any further escalation would trigger a global recession that would harm the United Kingdom far more than any other G7 country. In its half-yearly update, the IMF said the UK would […]
Hormuz Blockade, Fertilizer Shock, Food Crisis — What Most People Don’t See Coming
Kind of scary, isn’t it? But wait, there is more, as they say in cheap commercials selling steak knives. Have you ever heard of super phosphate? Oh, the mere mention of it reminds me of the good old days on the farm in New Zealand all those years ago. Spreading […]
Doug Casey on the Strait of Hormuz, the Dollar, and the Coming Energy Crisis
International Man: Iran is already turning the Strait of Hormuz into a geopolitical toll booth—restricting traffic, charging transit fees, and shutting out the US and its allies. If this continues, what happens to oil, trade, and the global economy, and is there anything the US military can do about it? Doug […]
What Experts Won’t Say: The 2026 Economy May Trigger an Irreversible Collapse by 2030
There is something increasingly difficult to ignore about the global economic climate of 2026, and it isn’t something that appears in headlines or official summaries.

The Rise of AI in Payments Is Not About Convenience
Visa has just unveiled a new suite of artificial intelligence tools designed to overhaul how credit card disputes are handled, and once again this is being presented as a simple evolution toward efficiency and improved customer experience, yet when you step back and examine the scale of what is unfolding, this is […]

What we are witnessing across the United States is not just people relocating. It is the migration of income itself, and the numbers now confirm the scale. According to the latest IRS data, California lost $11.9 billion in adjusted gross income in a single year, while New York lost $9.9 […]
The Crisis In The Strait Of Hormuz Is The Greatest Threat To The Global Economy In My Entire Lifetime
Nobody was ready for a scenario in which the Strait of Hormuz is blocked for an indefinite period of time. The Iranians think that they will eventually get what they want by holding commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz hostage and causing as much pain for the global economy […]
The Housing Affordability Trap
Donald Trump sure has a strange approach to making housing more “affordable”. He apparently wants lower costs for buyers and higher prices for owners and sellers! “I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own their homes.” Needless to say, as […]
Widespread Rationing And Global Energy Shortages Are Baked In No Matter When The War Ends Now
It is difficult to believe the pace at which global events are now moving. Apocalyptic threats are being thrown around recklessly and severe damage is being done to the global economic system every single day. A lot of people still seem to think that economic conditions will snap back to […]
The Big Money Mirage
Two-Week Reprieve “Big money will be made.” The remark was made by President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social following the ceasefire deal with Iran. Who will make the big money is unclear. But it sounds good, nonetheless. With the announcement of the two-week reprieve in bomb dropping and missile strikes, and […]
