Economist, financial expert, and bestselling author Dr. Nomi Prins sits down with James Connor and dives deep into the economic storm clouds she sees gathering over Wall Street and Main Street alike. With Wall Street sitting on a “hidden” $620 billion ticking time bomb of loan losses (levels not seen since 2008), the risks of another banking crisis are mounting. Nomi explains why persistent inflation, record consumer debt, and tariff uncertainties are increasing the threat of a consumer recession, putting the economy at significant risk of stagflation. She reveals how the Fed's next moves, with potentially deeper interest rate cuts, could reshape markets dramatically. You'll also hear from her about major geopolitical shifts, including Europe's surging defense spending amid ongoing global tensions, and why central banks (particularly China) are rapidly diversifying from U.S. Treasuries into gold, likely pushing gold prices significantly higher.

Tom welcomes back Dr. Nomi Prins, financial expert and best-selling author, about the impact of the U.S. election on markets and her outlook for the economy. Dr. Prins highlights the disconnect between the thriving financial markets and the stagnant real economy, with high debt levels and inflation surpassing wage growth. The election brought attention to voters' economic concerns, although neither candidate presented substantial plans for addressing debt and deficit issues. Trump's promises on immigration and inflation reassured some, but his lack of a comprehensive economic strategy remains a concern for Dr. Prins. Tom and Dr. Prins explore the economic implications of tariffs, focusing on Trump's plan to impose tariffs on imports. The reduction in supply from tariffs causes price increases and inflation, potentially harming the domestic economy unless the country can offset these costs by participating in multiple parts of the supply chain. The nuclear energy industry is positioned for growth following the election results, with companies like Microsoft and Amazon considering nuclear power deals. The state of energy development in the United States is also explored in the context of Trump's plans to deregulate. Dr. Prins discusses the movement of the US dollar after the election results and the potential for de-dollarization. The US dollar continues to be the world's top reserve currency, but longer-term trends suggest de-dollarization through trade agreements in non-dollar currencies, alternative trading currencies, and infrastructure development. Central banks' interest in gold as a hedge against risks, coupled with increasing demand from consumers in countries like China and India, positions gold to play an essential role in this framework.

Trump's promises on immigration and inflation influenced markets, but lack of economic strategy remains a concern. Tariffs, nuclear energy growth, and de-dollarization are major economic shifts following the U.S. election.

The stock market has hit another all-time high this week, and Wall Street's profits for 2024 are off the charts -- nearly TWICE as high as last year's. Meanwhile, the wealth divide in America continues to widen as average folks struggle with the post-COVID surge in cost of living and record high interest rates on their debt. What does this growing difference between the haves and have-nots say about fairness in today's society? And how much farther can it be stretched before some financial and/or social boiling over point is reached?

The “big club” that “you ain’t in,” as George Carlin famously put it, is increasingly visible as the presidential election rolls on toward November. Politicians and the donor class that controls them have made it known to the public that they are not representatives of the majority but rather the small elite minority. Nomi Prins, financial historian, author and former Goldman Sachs managing director, joins host Robert Scheer on this episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast to describe exactly how this process works as well as touch on the evolution of the world economy away from the U.S. As a result of U.S. mishaps in 2008 with the financial crisis as well as the current geopolitical involvements in Ukraine and growing disruptions between the U.S. and China, Prins explains how the world is recognizing the ability to move past the U.S. as well as the dollar: “What's happened is the alliance of nations that needed the U.S. and needed the dollar to trade don't need it anymore.” China’s rise with the BRICS nations alongside has encouraged this, and the U.S.’s policies of supporting the financial system and allowing the banks to run things has led to the rest of the world to say, “We will compete, we'll do exactly what you're doing, but we're going to do it on our own terms.” Back at home, when it comes to economic justice, the two party system, in short, is a farce, and the difference between how the internal system of each party works is hardly noticeable. “Everything kind of moves upward and gets smaller as it moves upward in terms of who has the power and who wants to retain the power,” Prins tells Scheer. That’s why, she asserts, “even if things get questioned on the surface, the idea of changing them doesn't really get pushed throughout party policy.” As much as people try to push for or enact change, the questions fall on deaf ears, Prins says. People “can blame the other party, they can blame each other, but they don't get to blame the system, because they don't feel that there's any real connection or control that they could have over the system.”

"I'm a firm believer in the Fed's inability to do anything about inflation. It doesn't mean they're not raising rates, but the reality is that costs of everything are still rising," says Nomi Prins, American economist, author, journalist, and public speaker. She tells Daniela Cambone that the Fed has lost its power to combat inflation. Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

"The Fed needs to understand its boundaries and stop pretending it's like inflation Superman," says Dr. Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author.

Inflation recently fell to its lowest annual rate in more than two years, but many investors remain wary about what to do with their money moving forward. On today's show, Daniela sits down with Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author. Nomi stresses investors must avoid letting fear guide their investment decisions in order to uncover buying opportunities as this rampant market uncertainty drags on. She says, "The best way to navigate [the noise] as an investor is to ignore what the Fed does if it raises rates by another two incremental rate hikes within the next several months. The reality is it's not going to impact the quality of investments, place in which we're investing, or how those investments perform."  When it comes to the Fed's upcoming launch of its FedNow instant-money platform, Naomi believes it only serves as a ploy for the central bank to increase its foothold in the digital currency space. "Without the makings of a digital footprint, you don't have the makings of a digital coin," she asserts. Continuing with the theme of de-dollarization, Naomi warns that this trend could affect the long term outlook of the markets as foreign adversaries aim to chip away at the value of the U.S. dollar. "I don't actually think it's going to be replaced in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean there isn't a trading pattern here that's emerging," she concludes. ➡️ Watch Here

Dr. Nomi Prins, the author, former Goldman Sachs executive and Ojai resident joins the podcast to talk about her work explaining the world of high finance and how bankers continue to rig the system for their benefit. Her latest work, "Permanent Distortion," came out last year and dives deep into the trillions of dollars of fiat currency pumped into the global financial system during the pandemic, and how it is being use to further divide Wall Street from Main Street, and how little of the money the governments printed was actually put to productive use. "Quantitative Easing" is the term of art used to describe the emergency response during the 2008 banking crisis which has since became an addiction for the Federal Reserve. Most of the trillions of dollars since the pandemic continues to sit on banks' asset sheets without being loaned out, as was the intent. Dr. Prins' is famous for her deep research, lively writing, and ability to break down complex and abstract topics into easily understood concepts. We also talk about her other books, including "All the Presidents' Bankers" and how a very small group of elite financiers and politicians, who came from the same families and attended the same schools, have been pulling the strings for the world since JP Morgan organized a 1907 meeting at his resort in Jekyll Island, Georgia that led to the founding of the Federal Reserve system in 1913. We also talked about the 2008 financial crash and how much of it was blamed on reckless homeowners rather than the vast amounts of money leveraged by bankers for stock buybacks and other contrivances to boost their own wealth at the cost of productive use of capital for infrastructure and employment projects. Dr. Prins and I did not talk about Japanese ceramic glazes, left-handed cricketers or Aston Villa's greatest moments. Check out her works - "Collusion," "All the Presidents's Bankers," "Black Tuesday," "It Takes a Pillage," "Jacked," and "Other People's Money."

Author of 'Permanent Distortion' Nomi Prins does not look fondly upon the track record of the Federal Reserve and thinks that they have created far more problems than they are pretending to solve. Nomi provides an in-depth look into the Fed's history of malfeasance and how they were set up from the start to benefit a small group of privileged insiders.

We are joined for the full hour by geopolitical financial expert and financial historian, Nomi Prins, to discuss her new book, “Permanent Distortion: How Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever,” which highlights the huge gap between the high-flying stock market, versus back down here on earth, where average people struggle to make ends meet.Nomi Prins is an economist, author, geopolitical financial expert and financial historian. She is the author of several books, including Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, All the Presidents' Bankers, Other People's Money: The Corporate Mugging of America, and It Takes a Pillage: Behind the Bonuses, Bailouts, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street. Her latest book is Permanent Distortion: How Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever.The idea of “Permanent Distortion” is that when the financial system needs it, it gets the money. And lot of it. And in an uncapped way. And in an unregulated way. And in a non-transparent way. When the real economy needs it, it's years of debate.Nomi PrinsThere's no such thing as, “This bailout didn't cost taxpayers money.” Because…money that goes into the banking system does not go into the real economy. Which means there is a shortfall in the real economy. Which means that money cannot be reallocated into the real economy. Whether that is to build bridges, or hospitals, or to enhance our education system, or help workers. Because it's going somewhere else.Nomi PrinsThere are people that will say, “Well, SVB (the failure of Silicon Valley Bank) has nothing to do with Glass-Steagall,” and that's just simply wrong. Any over-leverage in the banking system that can take down the rest of the banking system— or that can create that sort of lack of confidence, instability, creation of money to save it that doesn't go into the real economy— is a part of that problem.Nomi PrinsThere's a huge propaganda machine. And it's interesting that the destabilization of the real economy comes so frequently from the speculation of the paper economy.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard1. In Israel, the planned judicial reform law has sparked nothing less than a popular uprising, with Haaretz reporting that as many as half a million protesters have taken to the streets. Prime Minister Netanyahu is wheeling and dealing like mad to cling to power. Barak Ravid reports that Netanyahu sacked the Minister of Defense after he called for suspending the judicial reform push. Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of perhaps the most extreme party in the right-wing coalition government, has threatened to quit the coalition if the judicial overhaul is delayed – but may have been appeased by a promise from Netanyahu to make the National Guard answerable directly to Ben-Gvir, per the Jerusalem Post. Axios reports that Jewish Democrats in Congress met with the Israeli Ambassador and warned him that if the bill is pushed through, it will be harder for them “to talk about Israel the same way they used to.”2. A new paper published in the Harvard Environmental Law Review – by David Arkush of Public Citizen and Donald Braman of the George Washington University Law School – posits whether fossil fuel companies should be charged with homicide. The authors argue these corporations “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public's attention.”3. In the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation that would bar big bank executives from serving on Federal Reserve Boards. Chairman Sanders said “The Fed has got to become a more democratic institution that is responsive to the needs of working people and the middle class.”4. The Huffington Post reports that Rep. Ilhan Omar has introduced a bill to “Condemn Anti-Muslim Hate.” The bill was crafted to honor the 51 Muslims killed in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, and it was introduced on the first day of Ramadan. Omar is quoted saying “We...know that this increase in hate is not isolated to only Muslims. Church bombings, synagogue attacks, and racial hate crimes are also on the rise. In order to confront the evils of religious bigotry and hatred, we must come to understand that all our destinies are linked.”5. An investigation by Morgan Baskin of DCist found that “local developers are buying rent-controlled apartments, clearing out existing tenants, and marketing to housing choice voucher holders” because the DC Housing Authority engages in routine over-payments. In so doing, these developers are “eroding affordable housing.”6. In Brazil, Democracy Now! reports that the Lula government has successfully removed “almost all illegal gold mining operations…from Yanomami Indigenous territory.” Lula campaigned on the promise to remove these mining operations, which have “displaced people, devastated the land and food resources, and contaminated rivers with mercury.”7. Ever have a hard time canceling a subscription or recurring fee online? In a video by More Perfect Union, FTC Chair Lina Khan explained how the agency is taking aim at a pervasive corporate manipulation tactic nicknamed “click to subscribe, call to cancel” in which companies make it easy to sign up for a service, but make it very difficult to cancel it. The new rule – called “click to cancel” – would mandate that (1) it must be as easy to cancel a service as it is to sign up for it and (2) consumers must be able to cancel using the same method they used to sign up.8. From PBS: In Florida, Governor DeSantis is expanding the “Don't Say Gay” censorship law to high-schools. Supporters of this bill had previously insisted that it was only intended to curtail discussions of sensitive topics for young children. This expansion clearly undermines that argument.9. In Chicago, the International Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America hosted Cuban Ambassador Lianys Torres Rivera at the 35th Ward - 8th District Office for a meeting with local elected officials and faith leaders. They discussed the harmful U.S. embargo and strengthening goodwill between the people of Cuba and the United States. This meeting was attended by Cook County Commissioner Anthony J. Quezada and Aldermen Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, Byron Sigcho Lopez, and Rossana Rodriguez.10.

I've been reading Nomi Prins' Other People's Money: The Corporate Mugging of America, which was published in 2004. (My paperback version has an update from 2006.) So the material pre-dates The Great Recession and provides an important remembrance of the insanity that was the late 90s/early 00s.From page 7 of the paperback:"Robert Schiller of Yale University and Irrational Exuberance fame spoke after lunch. His cautionary talk, supported by slides depicting graphs of lowered profitability and other financial health indicators, was challenged by the room. A series of grilling questions poking apart his argument followed. Though Schiller delineated clear reasons why the market was overinflated, no one really wanted to listen." Sound familiar? For some people, you could present all the evidence in the world and they'd still argue to be wrong. To quote Dr. Stuart Woolley, "The turkeys don't even realise that they're voting for their own Christmas."

"There is still going to be an overhang in the economy even as the markets are going to get comfortable with the dialed down size of the Fed's rate hikes," says Nomi Prins, bestselling author and investigative journalist. "The Fed is going to go to neutrality," she tells Daniela Cambone. "Then they will start to buy bonds again or back up from their plan to do quantitative tightening," Prins continues. "There are certain assets like gold, silver, and copper that are already peaking up because the Fed has entered the first stage of a three-stage pivot," she says. "Gold purchasing by China has allowed them to begin backing the renminbi with the metal and create new alliances at the same time," Prins says.

Her books include Other People's Money: The Corporate Mugging of America, Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, and most recently Permanent Distortion: How Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever.

We now have historically high inflation. With the increased price of both food and fuel, people are having difficulty financing the things they need just to live their basic lives. So, of course, the Fed has stepped up with repeated interest rate hikes. But all that has done is crush growth and create the worst-case scenario for the economy while driving us into an energy market disaster coming as soon as this winter. So, what does the Fed need to do NOW? And when will things get worse? Ph.D. Author Nomi Prins is a Wall Street insider and a leading authority on how the widespread impact of financial systems continues to impact our daily lives. She is the author of the best-seller, Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, in which she examines how the 2007-2008 financial crisis triggered a massive shift in the global order and the soon-to-be-released Permanent Distortion: How the Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Nomi joins me to discuss the Fed's inability to regulate the economy and her prediction of a watershed moment coming up this winter that will create a massive energy crisis. Listen in to understand how Nomi's revenge on Wall Street is helping individual investors like us survive and thrive in the next crisis.

Tom welcomes economist and author Dr. Nomi Prins to the show. Nomi explains how central banks are adversely affecting everyone on the planet. The Fed is the mothership in this global policy structure. Tensions are building between the United States and China, particularly around monetary policy. Since the financial crisis of 2008 the Fed has blown out their balance sheets with monetary easing. China had a similar policy, but they channeled that monetary energy into building up the country. As a result, they had significant growth, while in the United States the economy staggered. She explains how financial markets have become permanently distorted due to a move away from real economics. When there is a crisis, we will once again double the size of the balance sheet to resolve the problem. This has become a permanent policy because there is no going back. The Fed admits that it would take at least five years to begin to lower their balance sheet. Money remains easily obtainable to the financial system, but it doesn't provide true follow through to the real economy. She notes that central banks exercise a huge amount of control and power over the economic system. Jerome Powell can move markets, and amounts to a remarkable amount of power. Emerging markets and other central banks end up forced to follow the policies of the Federal Reserve. The majority of them follow closely on the actions of the Fed. The stronger the U.S. dollar, the harder it is on other fiat currencies. Central banks do collude to achieve specific goals, and they are rarely transparent about it. At a fundamental level, the system is too complex to go back, and the result is an economic system that is becoming increasingly volatile. The economy really hasn't grown for the last decade. We would have had a series of major corrections if it wasn't for the continuous intervention. Powell doesn't talk much about what is occurring outside the United States. Major countries like Japan and the U.K. are having to intervene to support their currencies. The Fed seems to more concerned about what the markets think than the problems of other countries. Europe is already having an economic crisis impacting both industry and citizens alike due to costs of energy. We're already seeing companies close or reduce hours, and there is no reason to believe that will change anytime soon. The conversation about energy and fuel prices is occurring everywhere in Europe.

When the markets are doing well because of fake money it's very different than the economy doing well because companies are producing, wages are growing, consumers are buying, or any of the things that create real economic growth. Today's guest explains how all of the money printing that's been happening leaves the real economy behind. Nomi Prins, the author of Collusion: How Central Banks Rigged the World and her latest book, Permanent Distortion: How Financial Markets Abandoned the Real Economy Forever says, “The Fed is sitting on 9 trillion dollars of giveaway money that flows into the markets that create an appreciation of assets but again, leaves the real economy behind.” Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guest Nomi Prins discuss how the financial markets have abandoned the real economy forever and what that means to the average person.

Why the permanent distortion—the four and a half trillion-dollar book of assets accumulated during the pandemic—will never be undone Why the Feds delayed, and off-kilter focus got us to where we are, and what needs to happen now How does the slowdown in economic growth in other countries translate into what happens in the US Which sectors will benefit from these games being played by the Fed and the banks Why Nomi thinks you should stay the course with your 401k Where can investors find opportunities now in this distortion cycle Connect with Nomi Prins Nomi Prins Nomi on LinkedIn Nomi on Twitter Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

In this Part 2 of our interview with former Wall Street insider Nomi Prins, we explore the potential for new Distributed Finance, aka Defi, technologies to disrupt the financial system and reduce the control big banks currently have over it. Will DeFi prove to be Wall Street's Kryptonite? Possibly, though the banks aren't taking the fight lying down. Nomi also shares her preferred investments given her macro outlook. She's a fan of the inflation trade, as well as technology and infrastructure plays. See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/tFCyv5I49h4

For those of us interested in what's truly going on within the financial system -- the who, what, why and how behind it all -- there are few better sources than a highly-informed investigative financier with a talent for engaging storytelling. One of the best is Nomi Prins, former partner at Goldman Sachs turned financial journalist and author of such Wall Street exposés as the books All The Presidents Bankers and Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged The World. Here's an interview Adam recorded with her last month back in February, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, that we're now finally able to make available to the general public. We delve into the distortions the Federal Reserve has created in the markets, as well as Wall Street's cartel-like stranglehold on our financial system – both of which will definitely make your blood boil a bit. But we also talk a bit about how the promise of new Decentralized Finance or “defi” solutions may take some of the advantage away from the bankers.
