The symphony’s cantata, featuring Orff’s dramatic chorale of the medieval poem O Fortuna, has been used in umpteen movie soundtracks.It is also a de facto choice for the makers of movie trailers for new films that have not yet been scored. TODAY, WE LOOK AT THE PROSPECTS FOR PHYSICAL SILVER A brief excerpt: “Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, noted in a report Tuesday that the silver market started the week with its best day since early February as prices pushed to a two-month high above $27 an ounce.

REVIEW: POLYMER 80 9MM PISTOLS. RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, THE The sights on the P80 are very nice, and made out of steel, not plastic, as found on Glocks. The front sight has a big white dot, while the rear sight is all black, but with horizontal serrations – make it fast to pick your target. The trigger is polymer, just likethose on
REVIEW: ROSSI RS22 SEMIAUTO .22 RIFLE, BY PAT CASCIO The barrel is 18-inches – was a bit surprised on this – most contemporary .22 rifles have a 16-inch barrel. The gun comes with one 10-rd magazine, however you can (and should) purchase some spare mags – remember, one is none and two is one, in the event you lost the single mag. Mags are around $18 each! KIMBER MICRO 9, REVIEW AND TESTS BY PAT CASCIO. 6.1-INCHES Some of the other specs on this little gem are that it is only 6.1-inches long, but looks shorter. The recoil spring is 11.5-pounds – and there is a full-length recoil spring guide. The gun is 1.06-inches wide, but appears smaller. The stainless steel barrel is ramped – I like that on 1911-style handguns, for a more sure feed ofvarious
REVIEW: CENTURY ARMS C308 SPORTER Well, it’s chambered in .308 Winchester. However it will also fire 7.62mm NATO ammo and that’s a good thing. The gun weighs in at 9-lbs – it’s heavy, then again, it is a “battle” rifle, not a light-weight small-caliber carbine The barrel is 18-inches long – and as mentioned, is brand-new. KIMBER AMERICA STAINLESS LW 1911, BY PAT CASCIO The barrel is match-grade/fitted and the slide has angled serrations on both the front end and the rear (sides) of the slide. The barrel bushing is match-grade as well. The sights – ah, a great improvement over the basic Kimber 1911. The front has a red fiber optic sight, and the rear has two white dots, as opposed to the all-black rear sight. RANGE TEST AND REVIEW: GLOCK MODEL 44 PISTOL IN .22 LR, BY The local small box store told my wife a few days back, that they were completely out of .22 LR ammo, and didn’t expect any – anytime soon – maybe not for a long, long, long time. If you’re in the market for a great .22 LR handgun, then be sure to check out the Glock 44. It is one sweet shooting pistol, and retail price is about $420.

INTRODUCTION TO THE AMERICAN REDOUBT INTERNAL MIGRATION Patronize the local farmer’s market and craft shows. Support local businesses, and companies that are headquartered inside the Redoubt, not Wal-Mart. Attend gun shows in your state. (This keeps money circulating in the state and keeps you legal, for private gun purchases.) Find and visit your local second-hand stores. START WITH A "LIST OF LISTS" Start your retreat stocking effort by first composing a List of Lists, then draft prioritized lists for each subject, on separate sheets of paper. (Or in a spreadsheet if you are a techno-nerd like me. Just be sure to print out a hard copy for use when the power grid goes down!) It is important to tailor your lists to suit your particular geography, climate, and population density as well as RUGER AR-556 MPR, PRODUCT REVIEW BY PAT CASCIO Full-retail on this Ruger MPR is only $899 – and that’s not all that much more than their standard AR-556.

The 1911 handgun has been around since, well, 1911, so the design is more than a hundred years old. For an old work horse, the design shows no signs of slowing down. As a matter of fact, there are probably at least 50 companies producing the 1911 in one form or another. We can have a 1911 in the basic mil-spec version or a fully decked out custom gun with more bells and whistles than we couldLETTER: STORM PUMP

(Continued from Part 2. This concludes the article.) WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, YOU ARE GETTING A TOW Speaking of your electric vehicle turning into an inert hunk of metal, I have run out of juice twice on my vehicle. Both times required a tow truck to bring my vehicle back home. Fortunately, both times I was only a couple of miles from home, and just did not have that last bit of juice needed to get there. Also, both times occurred because my “plan” did not go as planned. In one instance, a public charger I normally used was out of service at a meeting location. My normal hour of charge time I had there didn’t happen and it turns out I really did need that extra charge time to get home. The second time I had an unexpected need to get to a meeting and pulled off a charger sooner than I normally would. That loss of charge time was enough to strand me at the freeway off-ramp three miles from my house. Once the battery runs out on an electric vehicle, that’s it. No walking to a gas station, buying a gas can, and walking back to the vehicle. No calling home for someone to bring you a jerry can from the garage. In theory, you could bring a generator to the vehicle and charge it that way, but then you are running the generator and burning gas for an hour or more just to get the electric vehicle to go a couple of miles. Whether a tow truck, or a more informal tow in a WROL situation, that vehicle is not moving unless something is_ pulling_it.
WITHOUT A CHARGER THE CAR IS A PAPERWEIGHT Electric vehicles come with a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120-volt home outlet. These chargers can fail. The one that came with my vehicle eventually did. Fortunately, it failed “slowly” in that sometimes it would charge and sometimes it wouldn’t. Before there was a catastrophic failure, I was able to easily purchase a refurbished Level 1 charger on line. I have kept the old, partially working charger as a backup. Following the old “Two is one, one is none” maxim, have a backup charger available at your home. Whether that is a Level 2 charger installed in your garage and the Level 1 charger that came with your vehicle, or an extra Level 1 charger stored in a box, have at least one extra. If you don’t have a functioning charger, whatever you have in your battery is all you will have available before your electric vehicle is a glorifiedpaperweight.
Although I would not recommend it, if your planned backup is a publicly available charger somewhere, make sure the charger works with your vehicle. There are at least three commonly used charging port configurations out there. On more than one occasion I’ve rolled up to an electric vehicle charging station only to find out that it did not have a charging port that worked with my car.

Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls? We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them. And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up. But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away intoBabylon.
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor; And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in hisplace.
Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished. Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.” – Ezra 5:7-17 (KJV)

(Continued from Part 1.) USING THE AC/HEATER IN THE CAR MATTERS (A LOT) The weather is not only going to have more of an affect on your electric car (compared to a gasoline vehicle), but it is going to have more of an effect on you because using climate control draws a lot of juice from your battery. In a gas vehicle, running the heater has little to no effect on the vehicle’s performance because you are just pulling heat from the engine compartment that is a byproduct of the engine running. Although running the air conditioner (AC) in a gas vehicle is supposed to reduce the miles per gallon (mpg) you achieve, I have never noticed much of a difference in the myriad cars I have driven over my life. However, in an electric car, the same battery that powers the engine also powers the heating and AC. In my car, if I turn on the heater or AC, the travel range on the display immediately drops about 15%. So, all else being equal, if I have enough battery charge to take me 50-miles, if I have my AC or heater on during that trip, I’ll only get about 43-miles. Not long after I first bought my car, I noticed that it had seat heaters. I thought that was a pretty luxurious amenity for such a basic vehicle. Then I figured out that it takes a lot less energy to run the seat heaters than to run the heating elements that heat the air in the cabin. The seat heaters weren’t an amenity, they were a workaround to minimize the need to use the “regular” heater. For me, this plays directly into the charging time issue discussed above. When I commute to work, by the time I get to the parking lot, I don’t have enough charge to get back home. Fortunately, I have access to a Level 2 charger at the office. Still, every day, there is roughly a 3–4-hour period where if there was an emergency, I could not use my electric car to get home. So, to minimize this “can’t make it home” window, I use the heater very sparingly on the way into work. On winter mornings, I’ll be driving down the highway with gloves, scarf, and ski hat, rag in hand wiping the condensation from the cabin side of the windshield. Only when the condensation gets too bad will I treat myself to a few minutes of running the defrost. With the long charge times for electric vehicles, everything takes planning, because there is no stopping for gas whenever you need it. If you go anywhere that takes more than 50% of your charge, expect to spend some time at a charger before heading home. In reality, and particularly in a TEOTWAWKI scenario, going anywhere that takes up to 30% or 40% of your charge under ideal conditions should include charging up time at the destination. What if the you-know-what has hit the fan? Say I’m driving with a couple of people from our retreat to the trader fair. We are toughing it out on a cold day, staying bundled up in the electric vehicle so we don’t need to use battery for the heater. It takes 45% of the charge to get to our destination. One of our group gets seriously injured and the best venue for treatment is our retreat. We need to turn on the heater to keep our injured teammate from going into shock. We-are-not-making-it-home-in-that-vehicle. Similar scenario but needing the AC instead. We-are-not-making-it-home-in-that-vehicle.Continue reading_“An Electric Car for TEOTWAWKI? – Part 2, by S.B.”___ __ _SurvivalBlog Contributor_ __ June 4, 2021 June 5,2021

We also cover hedges, derivatives, and obscura. Most of these items are from the “tangibles heavy” contrarian perspective of SurvivalBlog’s Founder and Senior Editor, JWR .

On June 2nd, it was reported: Gold futures hold above $1,900 as spot gold trades just below at $1,899.30 But then on June 3rd, both gold and silver took a dip. Gold was down 2% to $1868.60. So this might be a good juncture to buy some physical gold or silver. And, for the record, I’m still leaning toward silver. The silver-to-gold spot price ratio is presently 68.67-to-1. In my estimation, a ratio anywhere above 45-to-1 makes silver a _buy_.o o o

If someone was told on January 1, 2000 that in 2021 the national debt was going to hit $30 trillion, with annual deficits of $3 to $4 trillion, a defense budget of $750 billion as war looms on the near-term horizon, and all semblance of governing through legislation to benefit the citizenry had dissipated, they would have laughed, accused you of being a conspiracy nutjob, and said the nation would be a hyperinflationary banana republic with 50% interest rates if any of that came to pass.

I’ve been working on an article for SurvivalBlog on electric cars for quite some time…writing a little bit here and there then prioritizing other activities and halting work. With the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware fiasco and associated fuel shortages on the east coast Report: U.S. Capital Nearly Out of Gas While NC, VAAlso Endure Outages
(breitbart.com), I thought this an opportune time to buckle down and finish up the article. Regardless of how you interpret U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s recent statement regarding the Colonial Pipeline shutdown where she said “if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you…” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Pipeline Crisis: Drive an Electric Car (breitbart.com); she does have a point. In a less than TEOTWAWKI scenario, where electricity is available and gas is not, an electric vehicle would be a nice thing to have. Even in a full TEOTWWAKI scenario, an electric vehicle can have many advantages, as well as drawbacks, as I’ll discuss below. Consider this a basic tutorial on the electric vehicle “platform” conveyed through the lens of prepping. Just as there are various weapons platforms that all ultimately have the same function of sending fast-moving projectiles downrange, consider an electric car one, among many platforms to transport people and goods down the road. I won’t go into great detail on the ins and outs of electric vehicles and the different makes and models, but identify common characteristics of the “platform” and how they might influence a preparedness minded person considering purchasing an electric vehicle. I’ll be conveying broad generalities. If you have an electric vehicle and think while reading this “My car does not work quite that way.”, or “Things work a little differently out where I live.”, I don’t doubt it. In this article, I’m focusing on the general principles and not the specific details. Note that I’ll only be discussing “all-electric” vehicles powered solely by an electric motor and battery power. I have no experience owning or driving a “hybrid” that runs off of both electricity and gas (e.g., Toyota Prius), so will leave any discussion of that vehicle platform to others.Continue reading_“An Electric Car for TEOTWAWKI? – Part 1, by S.B.”___ __ _SurvivalBlog Contributor_ __ June 3, 2021 June 3,2021

------------------------- PREPAREDNESS NOTES FOR WEDNESDAY — JUNE 2, 2021 On June 2, 1774, Parliament renewed the Quartering Act, allowing British military to stay in private homes if necessary, completing the Coercive Acts. The Quartering Act, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Boston Port Act, were known as the Coercive Acts. These Acts were Parliament’s way of asserting their control over the colonists after the Boston Tea Party and were one of the main motivations for the 3rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.—
Please don’t forget to post a comment at the Federal Register’s website about the ATF’s proposed rule change radically redefining the term “frame or receiver” and substantially regulating making homemade guns. The comment period ends in 78 days. Please remind the F Troop Boys that only the_ U.S. Congress_ can change core definitions and that homemade gun-making is a purely INTRAstate affair, and thus outside of Federal jurisdiction for INTERstate commerce. __ _James Wesley Rawles_ __ June 2, 2021 June 1, 2021 ------------------------- * Ad (NEW BOOK) ARMAGEDDON CQB THE HOW-TO-WIN AT CQB MANUAL SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN FOR PREPPERS * Ad Seed for Security Our Colossal Security Pack is now on sale for 15% off.

It is now clear that the Democrats intend to pursue CALIFORNIA-STYLE POLITICAL DOMINATION, _nationwide_. In California, the Democrats hold super-majorities in both the State Assembly and the State Senate. They also hold the governorship, in the person of Gavin Newsom–who is part of a wicked multi-generational four-family intermarried political dynasty that has dominated the state for 60+ years. So now, California’s Democrats hold The Whole Enchilada. They are getting their full socialist agenda enacted, with no meaningful opposition. They are driving a Democrat steamroller over Sacramento. But clearly, the Democrats want the same for the Federal government. Seeing this progression led me to a minor epiphany: What the Democrats have already accomplished in California, and what they _hope_ to accomplish nationally WAS ALL _PERFECTLY LEGAL_. Although there was some Illegal gerrymandering and plenty of felonious “voting irregularities”, they _largely_ gained their supermajorities within the political process. It was all_ legal_. This was nothing short of a quiet and calculated socialist revolution, all via propaganda, public school indoctrination, demographic shifts via legislated immigration rule changes, and then a slow series of electoral victories. The Republicans just watched it happen, with no substantive pushback. Even during the Trump years, when the Republicans held the majority in both houses of congress, they simply dithered and dawdled, not daring to keep their key promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA — commonly called Obamacare.) The leftist “moderate” wing of the Republican party was dominated by Never-Trumpers who didn’t wish to hand Trump _any_ legislative victories. They preferred to squander the advantage of their majority rather than see Trump given any credit for rolling back socialist legislation. THE FICTITIOUS INSURRECTION If the Democrats succeed with their plans, then we will have a problem: Conservatives are largely law-abiding, and non-confrontational. We are The Nice Guys. And Nice Guys generally don’t start riots, and they don’t start revolutions. On January 6, 2021, just _a hint_ of an uprising threw the Democrats in Congress and the leftist mainstream media into a panic. Nancy Pelosi ordered fencing thrown up all around the U.S. Capitol complex, topped with razor wire. National Guard troops were mobilized for _five months_ to “guard the Capitol” against a fictitious “insurrection.” As of early June, 2021, the troops have now been withdrawn, but Pelosi’s ugly fence remains. If the Democrats use their usual bag of tricks to steal the next election, and further solidify their hold on the House and Senate, then we will be in deep, deep trouble. With a Democrat president — most likely the Maoist Kamala Harris — and solid majorities in the House and Senate, they will begin to push through their entire socialist agenda. To wit: Higher taxes, more bureaucracy, gun ownership restrictions, censorship, targeted prosecution of conservatives, womb-to-tomb welfare, “stimulus” to infinity, taxpayer-funded higher education, a never-ending succession of COVID strains with lockdowns, unbridled government spending with no meaningful debt limits, defunding police, race-based reparations for pre-1865 slavery, et cetera. Now, if the Democrats continue to pull this off, election after election, they will reach the threshold of holding supermajorities. Meanwhile, with Democrats controlling the White House for several successive terms, the composition of the Federal courts will become solidly liberal. Their carefully planned endgame is to assert socialist control over _all three branches_ of government. If that happens, then Lord Help Us! Please also consider that the Republican Party, as it is now being led is not much better than the Democrat Party. In essence, _both_ major parties have socialist goals and have acquiesced to accepting big government and high taxes. The Democrats are just in more of a hurry. When we look back on the last 50 years, we can see that the two outstanding “conservative” presidents — Reagan and Trump — were,_ despite their rhetoric_, both big spenders and not true libertarians. So, what is needed in the long term is not just a new wave of Republicanism, but also a Sea Change _within_ the Republican party, pushing it toward less government, minimal regulation, andlower taxes.
NOT THE TIME TO PLAY NICE This is _not_ the time to “play nice.” We’ve tried that for five decades and it has only emboldened the socialists. They’ve grown the state and federal governments to gargantuan proportions. They’ve shackled us with innumerable regulations and dictates. They’ve taxed us to death. They’ve attempted to disarm us. They are driving wedges between the generations and people groups. They’ve legalized homosexual marriage with hardly a peep of opposition, and now they are now pushing forward with their “trans-sexual” agenda, even on pre-pubescent children,
again with very little concrete opposition. They’ve instituted systems of regulation and licensure for just about every trade and occupation. In many states, you can’t even be a barber or a hairdresser without a license. In some locales, they’ve made things as simple as building your own home a bureaucratic nightmare, with umpteen codes, inspections, environmental impact studies, and permit fees. And, as we’ve seen in recent months, the leftists will push “White Privilege”, “Critical Race Theory”, and “Climate Change” environmentalism as hard and fast as possible. The sad truth is that continuing to play nice with the statist-socialists will inevitably put us behind barbed wire, for “re-education.” The history of the 20th Century saw this pattern repeated, many times in many countries. This is how socialists operate: First, they belittle you. Then they demonize you. Then they criminalize you. Then they segregate you. And finally, they incarcerate you — or in some cases _liquidate_ you. NICE GUYS GO TOTHE GULAG.
The leftist politicians have shoved the throttle wide open for their entire agenda, with the complicity of academia and the mass media. Anyone who opposes them is instantly branded as a racist, or “homophobic”, anti-semitic, or worse. Oh, I suppose that they will stop maliciously labeling their opponents as child molesters, because that is the next item on their agenda of proposed “rights” and “lifestyle choices.”HOW WE CAN WIN
In the long term, we _can_ win, and we _will_ win, but we must steel ourselves with genuine resolve. HOW CAN WE ACCOMPLISH THIS? * We must quietly team up with like-minded individuals and families.
* We must learn to ignore the taunts and threats of leftists. Our behavior must be driven by Biblical standards — not by what is “now-accepted” or “popular”. * We must press on, despite being demonetized and de-platformed. * We must stop “moderating” our positions, for the sake of appearances, attaboys, or decorum. * We must coordinate a campaign of massive noncompliance with unconstitutional laws.
* We must establish home-based businesses, and trade amongst ourselves — preferably with constitutional silver currency—
and starve the beast.
* We must fully withdraw ourselves from their Orewelian social media platforms and instead establish and support alternate media platforms — such as FrankSpeech . * We must consolidate geographically to redoubts — to survive and thrive in thedark days to come.
* We must guard our children against evil influences, throughhomeschooling.
* We must arm and armor ourselves and draw the line in the sand of never “papering” (registering), or surrendering our guns, ammunition, full-capacity magazines, night vision gear, body armor,and helmets.
* We must begin _consistently_ using both encryption and VPN. (Note: I prefer NordVPN — and we’ll earn a small commission if you sign up with them, usingour link.)
* We must support those who have been maliciously persecuted andprosecuted.
* We must cease any and all “compromise”. * We must withdraw from liberally tainted churches. * We must choose in advance just how, when, and where we will fight against tyranny. Pick your fights wisely, and consider the consequences. Brief your family members, and make those crucial “You will go stay with Aunt Charlotte” contingency plans and directives. * We must modify our home architecture with both ballistic hardening and hidden safe rooms. (What I call “Ten Boom Rooms”.) * We must teach our children well: “Never get on the bus.” Never willingly go into Federal custody. I pray the 91st Psalm for all of my readers. – JWR __ _James Wesley Rawles_ __ June 2, 2021 June 2, 2021 ------------------------- * Ad Ready Made Resources, Trekker Water Filtration System Used throughout the World * Ad Redoubt Scout - We are your Idaho Real Estate boots on theground

Each month, we cover gold’s performance, and the factors that affectedgold prices.
WHAT DID GOLD DO IN MAY? Gold started the month with a morning run at $1,800, being brought up short at $1,799.20 an ounce before settling lower. At the same time, silver briefly tagged the $27 mark. Things trended higher for the remainder of the month. Gold made sustained breaks above the $1,800 mark on the 6th, the $1,850 mark on the 17th, and the $1,875 mark on the 19th. Gold spent the last week of the month making runs at $1,900, falling short each time. FACTORS AFFECTING GOLD THIS MONTHINFLATION FEARS
Warren Buffett at this year’s Berkshire Hathaway stockholder meeting said, “We are seeing very substantial inflation” caused by supply shortages, especially lumber for the homebuilders it owns.————
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may not be running the Fed anymore, but she can still crash markets with a verbal gaffe. Commenting at The Atlantic’s Future Economy Summit, she said, “It may be that interest rates will have to rise somewhat to make sure that our economy doesn’t overheat.” She was forced to walk back that statement the next morning, to end the market freakout.————
Several economic reports this month pointed towards building inflationpressures.
Core CPI is the Fed’s preferred inflation guage. It rose 0.9% in April, a 39-year high month-to-month. The year-to-year reading hit a 25-year high, at +3.0%. Overall CPI rose 0.8% month to month, and 4.2%year-to-year.
Producers were hit hard by shortages of everything from lumber to steel to computer chips. Wholesale prices rose 6.17% in May, comparedto April 2020.
BITCOIN
Dreams around the world of becoming Bitcoin Billionaires came crashing to Earth this month, dragging the whole altcoin market with it. Bitcoin’s value fell from $60,000 down to $30,000 before recovering slightly. On May 17th alone, the crypto market lost more than half a TRILLION dollars. The trauma led many investors to pivot into gold andgold ETFs.
Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault, told MarketWatch afterwards “any debate about Bitcoin challenging gold as a ‘safe haven’ just got a very blunt answer from the markets.” “While the precious metal isn’t immune to volatility, gold has never cut its price in half inside a week,” he added. Matt Gongloff at Bloomberg says that this month’s massive meltdown in the crypto market proves “Bitcoin is more modern art or a religion than money.” The Governor of the Bank of England warns Britons, “I’m going to say this very bluntly again. Buy them only if you’re prepared to lose all your money.”————
The extreme volatility of the crypto market had already caught the US government’s attention even before the catastrophic drop in value. Major crypto exchange BINANCE is under investigation by the US Justice Department and the IRS on charges of money laundering and assisting intax evasion.
The FED has issued new regulations that cryptocurrency transactions over $10,000 must now be reported on a Form 8200, the same as precious metals. This is intended to curb money laundering using crypto.————
CHINESE regulators have warned that they are cracking down on illegal crypto use. Financial institutions and payment services are forbidden from accepting crypto as payment AND may not offer products or services tied to crypto. The People’s Bank of China spokesman said that crypto “is not a real currency” and “should not and cannot be used as currency in the market.”CENTRAL BANKS
The Federal Reserve stuck to its guns in May, insisting that the increase in inflation this month was due to supply bottlenecks that are expected to ease. It took Fed officials hammering this point home for most of the month before the stock market began believing them. San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly said a little inflation would do us good. “We should tolerate 2.5% inflation the same as we do1.5%.”
Richmond Fed president Thomas Barkin says that inflation will come back down next year. He said that he personally will not vote to taper QE until the employment to population ratio is back where it was just before COVID hit the US. In opposition, Dallas Fed president Robert Kaplan said this month that the Fed would need to start discussing tapering QE sooner than later. He believes that the taper will happen next year.————
The ECB forecasts that composite EU inflation will only be 2% by the end of the year, and will drop to only 1.2% next year.————
The BANK OF ENGLAND tapered monthly bond purchases this month. It is the first major bank to do so.————
Isabel Schnabel, a EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK executive board member, channeled her “inner Yellen” this month. On the subject of German inflation forecasts above 3%, she assured markets that it would just be a temporary increase.Continue reading_“May 2021 in Precious Metals, by Steven Cochran”___ __ _James Wesley Rawles_ __ June 2, 2021 June 2, 2021 ------------------------- * Add Your Link Here -------------------------POSTS NAVIGATION
