7 Things You Need to Know: “New World Money” Goes Live Tomorrow

by Jim Rickards, DailyReckoning:
1) Is tomorrow THE day that the dollar “dies” and is replaced?
Tomorrow, Sept. 30, is when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) officially adds the Chinese yuan to its basket of currencies comprising its special drawing right (SDR). It has enormous long-term implications for the dollar.
Does that mean the dollar becomes worthless overnight? Of course not. Tomorrow’s event may not even make major headlines. You won’t hear about it in the news. And it won’t cause the dollar to crash immediately. This is a development with long-term implications, but in itself, it will not make waves. But that’s the point — the dollar will die — but with a whimper, not a bang.

Bill Holter’s Commentary   www.jsmineset.com
 
This toon is very appropriate and very timely …but please don’t “laugh” at it!

I did not intend to write today but 3 events warrant a heads up.
1. Deutsche Bank may be having their “Lehman moment” as 10 hedge funds have withdrawn funds and are cutting exposure with DB.
This is how a “bank run” starts folks! Quite convenient that this Monday I believe is a banking holiday in Germany. If this is truly a Lehman moment, we will have a far larger event in a very compressed timeframe than we had in 2008.
2. The veto of the Saudi 911 bill was overridden in the House and Senate.
The ramifications of this are beyond human comprehension to understand how widespread the fallout can be. Think “Rollover” by multiples with the added negative the U.S. is no longer the sole military superpower in the world. I wrote about this last week, the important thing to understand is the assets that get sold in dollars…will not remain in dollars very long!
3. It looks like John Kerry is threatening to cut off diplomatic ties with Russia.
This is horrific on so many levels, particularly to the survival of the human race. Please understand the “timing” of this particular item. All three of these events are happening at one time, if you believe it’s a “bad coincidence” you are wrong in my opinion. The takedown of the Western standard of living is happening in real time, right now. Ignore this at your own risk!
Standing watch,
Bill Holter

DEUTSCHE BANK ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE – PROTECT YOURSELF, AND DO IT NOW!

[pictured: DB’s Derivatives exposure]
by Andy Hoffman, Miles Franklin:
I don’t normally write Friday morning, in lieu of waiting for the week’s trading to close. However, as my entire family is flying in to celebrate Diana’s 50th birthday – from New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida, and California – I’m going to make an exception. Quite exciting – and terrifying; as I have no idea if today will indeed be the bloodbath it has all the potential in the world to be, or if the powers that be will be able to muster enough money printing, market manipulation, and propaganda to stave off panic through the weekend.
A weekend, I might add, that not only includes the expiration of the U.S. fiscal year at midnight tonight – with not even a whiff of a 2017 budget proposal in the air, making a government shutdown tomorrow morning highly possible; but a three-day weekend in Europe, given the…I kid you not…”banking holiday” scheduled for Monday.

Did Trump Support The Iraq War Or Not?

The way Lester Holt “corrected” Donald Trump at Monday’s debate (as he was clearly instructed to do) regarding the Iraq War, you’d think the answer to whether he supported it or not was clear-cut. The truth is, it may not be that simple. Meanwhile, we know for sure which candidate absolutely loves war and leaves a trail of death and destruction in her wake: Hillary Clinton.

America is on a Slippery Slope

by Alasdair Macleod, GoldMoney:
It hadn’t happened before, at least not since US presidents started visiting foreign countries after the Second World War.
In early September, when President Obama landed at Hangzhoi for the G-20 summit in early September, the CIA security men were told in no uncertain terms by the Chinese that they were not in charge of landing arrangements, and that the President would disembark by the rear exit. It had the hallmarks of a calculated snub, as did the obligatory photograph of the world’s leaders, where the President was placed firmly on the far left, and not near the centre, which is customary.
