Israel/Iran War Kicks Financial Table Over – Bill Holter
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
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 r---s going on, and now they are planning r---s 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.”
Israel is now reportedly bombing Iran’s oil and natural gas infrastructure. What will that do to inflation and market stability?
All this uncertainty and debt is reflecting on the bond market and the financing of America. Holter says, “Liquidity is getting tight. We are at the point in time where US Treasury auctions are being questioned. We had a good Treasury auction a few days ago, but for the last six to nine months, they have been disastrous. In order for the system to continue, you have to have a seamless pathway for the Treasury to borrow. The brick wall is out there somewhere, and maybe they feel the brick wall is pretty close. . .. Whenever military action has happened in the past, we have always seen a huge bid in the dollar. We have always seen a huge bid in Treasuries. In this instance, the dollar barely moved, Treasuries barely moved as gold is up 1.5 % for the day. So, it’s pretty clear the world is viewing gold as the place to hide or the safe haven.”
Holter points out silver has broken above $36 per ounce and gold near record highs at $3,430 per ounce. Holter contends the math says the gold and silver price is going much higher. Just look at the 8,300 tons of gold that the US claims to hold in places like Fort Knox. Holter explains, “The total debt and commitments of the US is over $200 trillion, but forget about that number. Just use the ‘official’ US debt that is on the books of $37 trillion, and divide it by 262 million ounces of gold or 8,300 tons. Right now, you come up with a number for the price of gold at $135,000 plus per ounce.”
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.
