    'Mad Max' Is Coming - Bill Holter Warns Of 'Dark Times Ahead, Even For The Prepared'

    Tyler Durden's PhotoBY TYLER DURDEN

    TUESDAY, AUG 23, 2022 - 06:45 PM

    Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,
    Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter says, “nothing is getting better” and points out the proof is everywhere that we are clearly headed for a financial calamity, the likes of which we have never seen before.

    Holter, who is also a precious metals broker, is seeing a big pick-up in business because big money is looking for a place to hide in the physical world.  Holter explains,

    Quote
    “We are getting more orders and larger orders.  I think this is natural because I think people know something is wrong, and when something is wrong, you want to get defensive.  I think people are finally making the connection the world is in the process of bankrupting, and you want your capital in something that cannot bankrupt.  By definition, that is gold and silver.”
    Holter says evil is trying to take over everywhere. 
    Holter contends, “The consensus is the fact that we have a 2nd Amendment and we still have guns here is the only reason they have not snapped the trap shut yet.  The United States is ‘the last bastion.’ "

    Quote
    "Just look at Australia.  Look at New Zealand.  Look at Canada.  Look at Britain.  Can you have guns there?  No, they have taken them away.  What did they do?  They forced the population into lockdown.  They forced the population to get the jab.  The result is you are going to see the West vastly depopulated and degraded in the next 1, 2 or 5 years.  They have total control over their population.  Whereas, that is not the case yet in the U.S.”
    Holter has long said when the overloaded debt system breaks, it will break “fast and ugly.” 
    Quote
    “Credit will dry up overnight,” and “The world runs on credit,” according to Holter. 
    His math shows a dark time ahead even for the prepared.  Holter explains,
    Quote
    “All you have to do is wake up in the morning and read the news, and you know it has gotten worse than the day before.  That’s day after day.  I have talked about ‘Mad Max’ for several years.  When I first started talking about it, I got all kinds of grief, and they called me a nut case.  It is certainly looking more and more now as the likely scenario.  It just goes back to the West and, including China, it is not in the West, but it too is extremely levered (or indebted).  When you over-lever a financial system, you over-lever an economy.  At some point, the only thing that can happen is something bad.  It’s either default or hyperinflation of the currency to pay the debt back.  As far as timing, I would be shocked if we make it through the end of this year and people would still consider the system normal.
    When the system does break, that’s when it turns “ugly.”  Holter explains,
    Quote
    “As far as how are things going to work when this thing goes down?  My question would be is anything going to work?  Will your bank be open?  Will your broker be open?  Will there be a store open or a restaurant or any place to buy goods?  That gets back to Jim Sinclair’s ‘Get out of the System’ (GOTS).  Become your own central banker.  Stock up on the things you think you are going to need.  Is it going to last two weeks or two years?  It could last two years.  One thing for sure, our life in the United States is going to be drastically changed to a lower standard of living. . . . You are watching the breakdown in real time.”

  • Considering that what we know of as "money" today is nothing but imaginary, I honestly doubt it's going to collapse without the actual will of TPTB to do so. And given that they just opened up 70,000 armed IRS agent positions, I don't think they intend to let the system crash just yet.

    Money is and always has been a artificial thing, created and agreed upon by men.  Yes, today's version is insane and counterfeit, but money is always artificial.

    As for TPTB, the only real question is: Is Putin their bitch/stooge or not?  If not, then TPTB have lost all control, despite all appearances.  If so, then we're all screwed as we are a decade or more away from any sort of restoration of sanity.

    Frankly, I hope they are wrong.  We shall see.

    Worse case scenario is... the stock market will crash, states will have to drastically increase taxes of all kinds to pay police, garbage men, hospitals (i.e. necessary services).  When property taxes go up, and people's wealth in the stock market is gone, and food costs are triple, how can they pay their mortgage or taxes?  So the IRS agents are there to confiscate houses and force people out.  It's a horrible thought but I think the threat is real.

  • The worst-case scenario is that they maintain control, generate some crisis, and force you to comply with their new control system in order to survive. There's no indication that any loss-of-control Mad Max scenario is coming. It's all a controlled burn with fear seasonings. Enough people will be so desperate to survive that they will accept the contrived solution.

  • What good is Holter's gold going to do him when the means to liquidate his gold to the (coming) new currency will be controlled by the very cabal crashing the financial system and dollar, and currently manipulating gold/silver prices?

    He speaks in abstract doom narratives just to keep selling gold. Been doing it for at least a decade. 

    I'm not saying a collapse isn't coming. It is, but Holter has no solution. He's just trying to get more gold sales.

    Yeah, gold isn't worth much when you're in a Mad Max scenario

  • General recommendation is to get out of debt if you’re in it.  Pay off loans, leases, mortgages, etc.  Owning real estate is far better than owning metals.  Study the Great Depression.  Learn some new (old) skills.  If you can find anyone who lived through it, and they’re mentally sharp, ask about life back then.  My old neighbor turns 102 in a couple of weeks.  She’s on a wheelchair, but sharp as a tack.  She knows how to cook, to make do, to entertain the family, to trust in God.  It’s more than building a bunker to store 300 lbs. of dried Lima beans and a private arsenal!  Stay away from fad investors, investments, financial get rich schemes.

    Yes, we're trying to sell our home and turn around and use the equity to pay everything else off. Unfortunately, people are picky these days and we have only had one offer which was sight-unseen and the guy weaseled his way out of it without even paying the earnest money. Please pray for us.

    Concur, even with my statement. One possible global government scheme is global debt forgiveness where the same is offered in exchange for entry into the system. Being debt-free may give us a little more time than others.

    There is no doubt in my mind that this will occur.  They control the system now; they will control when, how and to what degree it crashes.  And they will control the new system too.

    I think it will be a "mad max" for the "avg joe".  Food shortages, loss of jobs, loss of houses, bankruptcies, etc.  For the avg joe, it will be chaos.

    Effectively, how would this change your situation? You'd simply be tranfering one form of debt to another, but you'd still be in debt. If fact, you'd be creating a worse situation because it's better to have equity in your home and debt outside of it, rather than no equity and debt outside of it paid off. How can those other expenses be more than what your home is worth? So if you have no equity, you're starting over, again. You'd have to take out another huge loan on your next home or be an indifinite rent-slave. You don't want to be a rent-slave when everything crashes. You need to own your stuff, especially your living quarters.
