I see here quite often, lengthy discussions on how Putin is out maneuvering this, NATO doing this or that blunder, how China is to be blamed for that and how is Iran going to fight back with their latest drones etc...
The world of geopolitics is indeed interesting, and certainly there must be some genuine competition at that level. But seriously, if you believe Putin is independent and really fighting the Ukrainians or NATO, how do you explain he went along and vaccinated his people? How do you explain all the jewish oligarchs in Russia?
How do you explain Iran going full steam ahead with the covid hoax and vaccinating everyone? How do you explain their masonic parliament building?
No you want lower rates because you have already arranged the payment terms for your debt. If you owe me $100K at 5% interest, I don't want 10% inflation to eat away at my returns. The face value of bonds decreases as rates rise.
They don't need to make money on the bond market. They create money to make us scramble for it.
The rate at which they can print is regulated by the degree to which it causes inflation which, as stated, drives down their holdings. It's all about debt not fiat. Fiat is ultimately worthless. Debt is a contract.
It's not their holdings they're worried about, it's everybody else's. The market must be kept unpredictable for everyone but them. If we knew when hyperinflation was coming, we'd be able to play the markets like they do.
So maybe they'll create a little deflation first to shake out people who bought property expecting to pay their mortgages with worthless hyperinflated money.
To them it doesn't matter. Whatever happens, they'll know in advance so they can trade on it, and if somehow they lose, they'll make us bail them out.
The markets are fake, yes, but also mechanistic. They largely control the mechanisms to control the market. It is ultimately debt that is the largest lever.
I'm talking about the people who aren't in debt, they "elites"
Other people owe money to them, so they want higher rates to both make more money, and keep others poorer
