Japan also dropped a bombshell:
Japan PM warns financial condition worse than Greece’s
Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba said his country’s financial condition was worse than Greece’s as he rejected calls for tax cuts at a time of rising borrowing costs.
Mr Ishiba said he didn’t think it was a good idea to fund tax cuts with government bonds just days after the economy was reported to have shrunk for the first time in a year, and at a pace faster than expected, in the face of US president Donald Trump’s trade policies.

There are too many coincidences in a small time frame to ignore. I would say to be vigilant but I have a strong suspicion that most people have not stopped their prepping and are hopefully planting large gardens.

Bada Bing Badda Boom….Baton Down the Hatches…buy more seeds…finalize your Prep…get the Gaps filled…spit polish your home made dum dums…clean and oil all your guns…stash some more stash…buy a few more of everything with the fiat debt instruments…and visit the Coin store one more time.
If my garden gets any bigger I will have to hire me a couple of ahhhhh undocumented workers, Sure hope their not MS 13 replacements for us domestic terrorist’s (snark).
Get ready for a “bank holiday.”
Yes, remember Cyprus just a few years ago? THAT event was inexplicable except as a means to gather reactions by a modern society when their money became inaccessible.
A Test Run, for sure. And the result? Banks/government; 1. Everyday people: 0.
Further inflating our money in order to shore up the (((worldwide banking system))).
There is no end to the sacrifices that we must provide so that (((others))) may thrive.
Do as I have been doing since 9-11, I only have enough in the bank to pay my monthly obligations. I have been rapidly since 2020 eliminating my IRA’s accounts and then stacking Silver/Gold/Bullets. Digit Card is still far away, while the dollar is considered worth more. I don’t think so, but they can make it whatever they want.
