(Julian Conradson) As Biden’s Gas crisis kicks into overdrive, setting record highs for 10 straight days, gas stations across the United States are beginning to run out of fuel as prices at the pump continue to rocket upwards. The situation has become so bad in areas like Washington that gas stations are reportedly reprogramming their pumps in order to add an additional number in anticipation of double-digit prices per gallon.

They Can Print Money, But They Can’t Print Food
(Michael Snyder) Whenever there is some sort of a major crisis, our politicians normally attempt to solve it by spending money. But in this case, that isn’t going to work. Our leaders can try to throw billions or even trillions of dollars at the global food crisis, and they may even convince themselves that they are making a difference. However, the truth is that they simply cannot create food out of thin air. As I discussed last week, we are facing a worldwide nightmare of epic proportions. Fertilizer prices have spiked to absurd levels, extremely bizarre weather patterns are playing havoc with crop production all over the planet, and the war in Ukraine has caused a growing supply crunch that will not be resolved any time soon. There simply is no “magic wand” that our politicians can wave that will make this problem go away.

It’s Mid-2022 And The Fed Has Still Done Nothing To Fight Inflation
(News Editors) It was last August when Jerome Powell began to admit that inflation just might be a problem. But even then, he was only willing to say that inflation would likely be “moderately” above the arbitrary 2 percent inflation standard. Back in August, low inflation—not high inflation—was still perceived to be the “problem.” But things had certainly changed by late November when Powell was forced by reality to retire “transitory” as the preferred adjective to describe price inflation. At that point, the Fed began strongly hinting that it would finally do something to rein in price inflation. But exactly when that might happen remained anyone’s guess.
BIDEN ECONOMY: Recesssion Looming – US GDP Down 5 Months in a Row – Last High Was in October 2021

Food Shortages In Six Months – The Globalists Are Telling Us What Happens Next
(Tyler Durden) In mid 2007 the Bank for International Settlements (The central bank of central banks) released a statement predicting an impending “Great Depression” caused by a credit market implosion. That same year the International Monetary Fund also published warnings of “subprime woes” leading to wider economic strife. I started writing alternative economic analysis only a year earlier in 2006 and I immediately thought it was strange that these massive globalist institutions with far reaching influence on the financial world were suddenly starting to sound a lot like those of us in the liberty movement.

Basic Solutions To Our Economic Problems That Establishment Elites Won’t Allow
(Brandon Smith) I think one of the great misconceptions about economic crises is that solutions are always dependent on centralized government action. In truth, most financial disasters are actually caused by too much government action and involvement. Central banks like the Federal Reserve are also primary culprits; as I outlined in last week’s article their machinations, which are independent of government oversight, fall into the category of deliberate sabotage. The Fed bankrolls corruption through fiat money creation while government officials and corporations utilize that money to wreak havoc on our living standards.
