Hi Justin, this is a GREAT ARTICLE and faces the evil, ugly, and inconvenient truth.
Here's another great TRUTH:
Mankind is under attack by the world’s TRUE COMMUNISTS' CABAL, which is the richest people in the world who want to MONOPOLIZE EVERYTHING, the cabal of monarchies, which includes the Vatican and the communist parties, the bankers, and the billionaires.
This is the cabal of communists, or call them fascists if you prefer, that launched the COVID-19: Great Reset to smash the world’s economy, to force everyone into the digital platforms, to transfer the wealth to the biggest corporations in the world-which is the 'essential industries' and the banks that are 'too big to fail' because they own the system, to bankrupt everyone else-the 'non-essential' useless eaters, and to take the wealth transferring it to the richest in the world via the banking system.
All of which is called the Great Taking, in the 2023 book by that name, (which you can downloard free courtesy of the author), where he explains how the banksters have set up all the insurance in the derivatives markets, and the ‘bail-in’ the banks laws, which will allow them to TAKE IT ALL in the coming COLLAPSE which they engineered.
This is EXACTLY why the WEF arrogantly boasted that: ‘By 2030 you’ll own nothing and be happy’ because the transnational criminal classes that control the World Economic Forum’s banks, finance companies and multinationals will own it all.
That’s what is happening before our eyes, the richest monarchies, the richest bankers, and the richest billionaires, are waging their war on mankind, the GREAT RESET launched in mid-2020 by that woke communist prick "KING CHARLES" - they are using the greatest weapon of the elite, which is the BANKING SYSTEM, to steal everything from everyone.
And in case you have any doubts about my comment on the TRUE COMMUNISTS just reflect on this truth. There are 4 types of central banks ownerships which shows us the true power in the world.
1. Private Owners - this is the model of central banking in the western world. All of the central banks which control the money supply, banking and the economy, are in the hands of secretive owners, but we know who they are because it is the banks that are 'too big to fail' and all of these banks came into existence in the age of Emprie and Monarchies, so the owners are the monarchies, bankers, and the billionaires - the ruling oligarchies.
2. Monarchies - in the nations around the world that call themselves monarchies, that are absolute monarchies, then they own their central banks and control it for the benefit of the ruling oligarchy - e.g. Saudi Arabia, UAE etc.
3. Communist Parties - in all communist nations you will note just before or just after they flipped communist they usually got a central bank. And the central bank is owned, as are all the banks, by the communist party elites - and in this way they seize control over all means of production, and systematically strip the wealth from the people - which is exactly what the CCP is doing right now - they melted down the economy and they are taking 50 years of the wealth created by the people and putting it inn the hands of the party and the ruling oligarchs. Robbery.
4. Central Banks for their Nations People - These are central banks where the government owns the bank, and prints and releases cash into the economic system without any debt or interest, which is the best model for general prosperity. This is how Australia, Canada, and New Zealand rose to prosperity but it was cancelled about the 1970s when corrupt politicians put them into the global system. And impoverished us. It is how Hitler turned Germany around, put the nation back to work, and from 1933 to 1936 put 7 million people back in jobs, and 2 million homeless back in housing, and then built a huge war machine for WW2. And it is how Libya under Gaddafi was a prosperous booming nation - and because he wanted to export this model around Africa the Zionist banking empire targeted him for destruction.
So there are EXACTLY NO CENTRAL BANKS that work for their people anywhere in the world.
We live under the FINANCIAL SLAVERY of COMMUNIST BANKERS that use the financial system, debt, and interest, all under a FIAT MONEY SYSTEM, which means that they create money from thin air from nothing, or central bankers cash printed with paper and ink and having exactly no value, all of this is a GIGANTIC PARASITIC WEALTH EXTRACTION MACHINE - and because they are at the end cycle of 53 years of fiat money since Nixon cancelled the gold window in 1971, they are CANCELLING the US DOLLAR and trying to RESET into a CBDC system, central banks digital currency - because this is the ULTIMATE slavery and wealth extraction and control system, a DYSTOPIAN, DIGITAL PLANETARY SLAVERY SYSTEM-run by the true communists, the banksters.
A recession is a seemingly one-size-fits-all concept when in fact it is anything but. I am retired and not needing a job and have enough income to cover my expenses. I am very far from being well off, but a recession isn't likely to affect me much. Stock markets (US) are still making new highs as if the world had warped into a new Goldilocks paradigm.
If there is a meaningful recession, the government will again flood the economy with fake electronic dollars and inflation will go back into the stratosphere. Now, that could wreck my making-ends-meet party.
The question is not whether we are headed for a recession, but rather, when the market will crash and how long it will take to fully recover from bear market conditions. Personally, I don’t believe there is much immediate cause for concern regarding a bear market. Even if we are currently in a recession and the situation worsens, I do not expect the S&P 500 or MSCI World Index to revisit the relative lows experienced on March 9, 2009. For those concerned about inflation or fearing the possibility of a severe economic downturn, as Justin suggests, the best strategy may be to remain fully invested in the market. Large-cap stocks, in particular, provide strong protection against inflation due to their pricing power, diversified revenue streams, robust balance sheets, and dividends. Many of these companies are also exposed to commodities and real estate—both of which are effective inflation hedges.
If you’re unemployed and relying on a fixed income, you may face a temporary reduction in the income your portfolio generates for retirement. However, if your income comes from Social Security or pensions, that presents an entirely different situation.

That's the true Evil that rules humanity.

This is consistent with Antoni/St Onge's analysis, that we've been in an inflationary recession since 2022: https://brownstone.org/articles/recession-since-2022-us-economic-income-and-output-have-fallen-overall-for-four-years/
A recession is a seemingly one-size-fits-all concept when in fact it is anything but. I am retired and not needing a job and have enough income to cover my expenses.
