Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter has warned there is a long list of financial trouble coming to America. There is massive unpayable debt both on and off the books, huge fraud and waste uncovered by DOGE and a Fed that looks like it’s lost control. Holter calls the financial system a “hyper-levered house of cards.” Now, you can put a fast-escalating war between Israel and Iran at the top of the list of things that can go really wrong. Holter says, “Mathematically, there are so many strings on this rug that are being pulled on that we are going to have a financial meltdown. Look at the LA riots going on, and now they are planning riots all over the country . . . If you have strife like this during good times, what’s it going to be like during bad times? Hope is not a plan. Hope is for dopes. It seems to me, from a financial standpoint and a societal standpoint, the West is upside down. It seems this has given the West a reason to escalate the situation and kick the table over. This way, those in power don’t take the blame. They can point the finger and say, hey, it wasn’t our fault, World War III happened.” . . .

Holter says if America loses a war such as in the Middle East or even “an aircraft carrier gets sunk, you can expect a total meltdown in the paper markets.” That would coincide with an immediate price explosion for physical gold and silver. Pray it does not happen.
