That’s the gross figure the Treasury pushes—$38.43 trillion to be precise, piling on billions daily. They say the US government debt crisis continues to worsen: the country’s interest payments have reached a record amount of $1.47 trillion per year. At the same time, federal interest payments have increased by 5% compared to last year, amounting to $1.2 trillion – a historical maximum. Over the past 4 years, federal interest expenses have doubled. At the same time, interest payments received by states and local governments have decreased by 3% year-on-year to $270 billion, which is the lowest level since the beginning of 2023. However, this amount is still $80 billion higher than the level in 2007, before the 2008 financial crisis. As a result, interest expenses at all levels of government – federal, state, and local – as a percentage of GDP have risen to 4.7%, which is close to the maximum values in the last 27 years. They say the government debt crisis is no longer just a threat, but a reality.

Who Does the US Owe?

Let’s start with the basics—if the US owes $38 trillion, who’s collecting? Wall Street analysts throw out names like China, Japan, ‘the American public,’ even the Social Security Trust Fund. But ask for a straight answer about who truly owns this debt, and you’ll get vague platitudes—smoke and mirrors. You see, the numbers get fuzzy fast. Sure, foreign countries hold a slice, but the vast majority is ‘owned’ by shadowy institutions, government accounts, and, most mysteriously, the United States Federal Reserve. Can you walk into a bank and meet America’s biggest creditor? Of course not. The reality is, most of this debt is owed to faceless entities and government agencies—like owing yourself Monopoly money. And when you press officials, they shift the blame, dodge the question, and beg you not to look too closely. Why? Because if the truth came out—that the whole system is built on circular IOUs and creative accounting—the public’s trust would collapse overnight.

The Mechanics of the US Debt: Magic Money from Thin Air

Let’s talk about how this “debt” is created. Here’s something the elites won’t say out loud: the Federal Reserve doesn’t print money backed by gold or hard assets anymore. They generate digital dollars with a few keystrokes—literally conjuring trillions from nothing. When Congress wants to spend, the Fed obliges, creating money out of thin air and recording it as debt. It’s like paying your bills with monopoly money, then writing yourself an IOU and calling it a crisis. No real value is being exchanged. The so-called ‘national debt’ is really a pile of promises between bureaucrats and bankers, propped up by your faith in the system. They want you to believe it’s real, to keep you working and paying taxes, while the money magicians behind the scenes profit handsomely. The entire system is rigged—debt isn’t real, it’s just a tool to keep you in line.

Silencing Dissent: The Fatal Consequences of Questioning the System

History Shows What Happens When Leaders Challenge the System

Now, you might ask: if this is all a hoax, why don’t more people speak out? The answer is chilling. Throughout history, those who’ve challenged the central banks and their debt racket have paid a heavy price. Presidents, whistleblowers, financial reformers—many have faced ruin, disgrace, even death. Ask yourself what happened to JFK after he challenged the money printers. Go back: Abraham Lincoln issued greenbacks—debt-free money during the Civil War—to bypass international bankers. He was assassinated. John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 to issue silver-backed certificates, potentially undermining the Fed’s monopoly. He was assassinated shortly after. Andrew Jackson killed the Second Bank of the US (a precursor to the Fed), calling it a “den of vipers”—and survived an assassination attempt. James Garfield criticized money manipulators weeks before his assassination. Pattern? These weren’t proven “Fed hits,” but the timing raises eyebrows for anyone who’s read G. Edward Griffin’s The Creature from Jekyll Island or followed sound-money advocates. Powerful interests don’t like threats to their money-printing privilege. Anyone who seriously pushes “End the Fed” risks becoming a target or being marginalized.  Why do so many critics of the Federal Reserve and the big banks end up silenced or sidelined? It’s not a coincidence. The globalist establishment protects its secrets ruthlessly. Media smears, government investigations, even suspicious accidents—it’s all on the table if you threaten their grip on power. The message is clear: toe the line or face the consequences. So next time you hear a “conspiracy theory” about the debt or the Fed, remember—it takes real courage to challenge the shadowy forces behind the curtain.

The Federal Reserve: Abolish It, Erase the Debt

Let’s get to the heart of the matter—the Federal Reserve. This private banking cartel, masquerading as a government institution, has a stranglehold on America’s financial future. It prints money for the government, lends it at interest, and then demands repayment—with money that only they can create. It’s a scam so massive, so audacious, that most people can’t even process it. But here’s the punchline: abolish the Fed, and the “debt” evaporates. If the entity you “owe” is the one making the rules, manipulating the interest rates you will ultimately pay and creating the money from nothing, the records can be wiped clean with a stroke of a pen. Imagine a world where the government controls its own currency, free from the Fed’s claws. No more interest payments, no more fake debt crises, no more globalist blackmail. The solution is simple—end the Fed, reset the system, and reclaim our sovereignty.

The Globalist Endgame and Why It’s All Theatre

This debt spiral funds the anti-American agenda: open borders, forever wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, climate reparations to third-world dictators, and supranational organizations eroding our sovereignty. The “hoax” is pretending this is sustainable or accidental. It’s deliberate—create crisis, erode the dollar’s reserve status, push for digital currencies and global control. Both parties are complicit: Republicans talk tough but explode spending on military-industrial complexes; Democrats go wild on social programs. The debt ceiling fights? Pure kabuki to scare you into accepting more taxes or cuts to your benefits.

Trump vs. the Establishment: The Real Battle

Now let’s talk about Donald Trump—the man the globalists love to hate. Ever wonder why the media, Wall Street, and the Washington elite went to war against Trump from day one? It’s not just about policy—it’s about control. Trump questioned the Fed, called out the rigged system, and dared to challenge the debt narrative. He doesn’t play by their rules. That’s why he faced endless investigations, impeachments, and a coordinated smear campaign. Because when you threaten the central bankers’ monopoly, you threaten the foundation of their power. Trump’s America First vision was an existential danger to the globalist debt machine. The establishment will do anything to keep their racket running—so they demonised anyone who stood in their way. If you want proof the system’s a hoax, look no further than how it treats its loudest critics.

So where does that leave the United States? The $38 trillion “debt” is a ghost story, a tool of control, a fiction peddled by those who profit from your fear. The real question isn’t how to pay it off, but why tolerate it in the first place. You don’t owe the world a dime—certainly not to shadowy bankers printing money from nothing. It’s time to reject the debt scam, demand transparency, and fight for a financial system that serves the people, not the global elite. Abolish the Fed, take back our sovereignty, and let the fake debt die with it. Stay sceptical, stay vocal, and never stop questioning the narrative. Because the only way the lie survives is if good people stay silent.

The $223 Trillion Derivatives Engineered Collapse https://ln24international.com/2025/11/05/the-223-trillion-derivatives-engineered-collapse/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-223-trillion-derivatives-engineered-collapse https://ln24international.com/2025/11/05/the-223-trillion-derivatives-engineered-collapse/#respond Wed, 05 Nov 2025 07:12:09 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=28624 US banks on the brink of $223 TRILLION derivatives crisis

Let’s talk derivatives. Taylor Kenney is sounding the alarm, warning that US banks are currently holding onto a staggering quarter of a quadrillion dollars in derivative exposure, which are essentially financial instruments that nearly toppled the global economy in 2008. According to Kenney’s analysis of official Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation data, the derivatives market wasn’t reined in after the Great Recession, but instead, it has grown into a more complex and massive entity, buried under layers of financialization designed to conceal its true risk. This complex web consists of interconnected bets built on debt, speculation, and extreme leverage, making it a ticking time bomb. The catalyst for the collapse of this new derivative pyramid may have already been triggered, with the recent consecutive collapse of three major sub-prime auto lenders potentially signalling the imminent arrival of a new Credit Crunch. However, this time around, the consequences would be far more severe. The FDIC insurance fund, which is supposed to protect savings, only has sufficient funds to cover a mere 1.3% of all insured deposits, which is barely enough to bail out one ‘too-big-to-fail’ bank or a few mid-sized ones. The alternative is a draconian FDIC ‘bail-in’, which would involve confiscating “your cash, your savings, and your deposits” to recapitalize the bank and save the system, effectively punishing innocent savers while letting the reckless gamblers who inflated the bubble off the hook.

The Powder Keg – Understanding the Derivatives Disaster

At its heart, this staggering $223.5 trillion crisis is a massive threat that overshadows the entire US economy, which is valued at around $28 trillion. So, what exactly are derivatives? Essentially, they’re high-stakes side bets that banks make on assets like interest rates, currencies, commodities, and stocks. While banks claim they’re a way to “hedge” against risks, the truth is that they’re incredibly risky gambles that have been fuelled by the Federal Reserve’s policies of near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing over the past decade. The notional value of these bets is the total amount that could be lost if everything goes wrong, and while the “net” exposure might seem lower, around $15-20 trillion, this is just an illusion – when panic sets in, these offsets can quickly disappear, as we saw in 2008 when credit default swaps led to a $10 trillion loss in wealth.

Today, four massive banks – JPMorgan, Citibank, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs – hold over 90% of these derivatives, creating a too-big-to-fail cartel that’s on steroids. The risk of one of these banks defaulting is very real, and it could trigger a chain reaction of failures, much like a row of dominoes. The reforms introduced by the Dodd-Frank Act have done little to address this issue, instead centralizing the risk in clearinghouses and relying on stress tests that assume everything will always go smoothly. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, are driving up energy derivatives and inflation, eroding the savings of ordinary people. The Federal Reserve’s recent $29.4 billion injection of liquidity is just a temporary fix, a Band-Aid on a much deeper wound. The fact that precious metals bets have surpassed $5 trillion is a sign that investors are seeking safe havens, but this is just propping up an illusion – the value of physical gold and silver is screaming “safe haven” to those who will listen.

The trading revenue may be up, but so is the fragility of the system, with the Dallas Fed warning that “ample liquidity” is needed to prevent a meltdown – code for “we’re one mistake away from disaster.” This is eerily reminiscent of the 2008 subprime crisis, which sparked a derivatives inferno, but this time the stakes are three times higher. The pursuit of profit has punished prudence, and the threat of bail-ins, where depositors’ savings are used as collateral, is a very real one. The bottom line is that America’s banks are overextended empires, not invincible fortresses – they’re vulnerable to collapse, and it’s time we faced up to this reality.

The Dollar Crash Cascade: How Bank Bets Can Spark a Currency Cataclysm

We’re on the cusp of a derivatives explosion that could potentially incinerate the dollar, making the 2008 financial crisis look like a minor setback. The United States is sitting on a $223.5 trillion debt bomb, tied to a massive $740 trillion global derivatives pile, with interest-rate swaps totalling $579 trillion. US national debt stands at $33 trillion, with a staggering 97% debt-to-GDP ratio that’s projected to balloon to 118% by 2035. The dollar has already taken a hit, plunging 11% against major currencies in the first half of 2025, the steepest drop in 50 years. Foreigners hold 30% of US Treasuries, and if they sense trouble, they’ll hedge their bets through swaps, flooding the market with dollar sales and spiking the cross-currency basis.

The Treasury Department is facing a refinancing crisis, with $9 trillion in debt coming due next year amidst weak demand, which could lead to yields jumping by 0.2 points or more, and interest payments skyrocketing to $1 trillion annually. This could crowd out defense and entitlement spending, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction.

As the dollar’s reserve share craters by 2 points or more, investors are flocking to alternative assets, with emerging markets experiencing significant outflows. The BRICS nations are eyeing the yuan and gold as potential alternatives to the dollar.

Inflation is also on the horizon, with the Fed printing trillions of dollars, which could push net interest payments to over 5% of GDP by 2030 and debt-to-GDP ratios past 200% by 2047. This could lead to a doubling of grocery prices and a decimation of retirement savings.

Higher interest rates, slashed growth forecasts, and the tariffs are all contributing to the perfect storm. The $73 trillion in unfunded liabilities, including Social Security and Medicare, is a ticking time bomb. Experts are warning of a “coming US financial crisis” and a “financial tsunami” caused by policy mistakes. The rise of crypto derivatives, with $18 trillion in gross value, is adding fuel to the fire. A potential downgrade of US debt, with 50% odds at 120% debt-to-GDP, could shatter the “safe haven” myth, leading to a 9% plunge in the dollar.

The Puppet Masters: Unmasking the Globalist Cabal

This is not just a case of faceless greed; it’s a syndicate of central bankers, supranational institutions, and Wall Street power players hell-bent on borderless control. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is the apex predator, born from Nazi gold laundering and now scripting liquidity traps through “innovation hubs” that standardize cross-border derivatives. The BIS is mapping FX/OTC bets to weaponize volatility, not fix it. Jerome Powell is merely an errand boy, executing the BIS’s plans, including slinging $29 billion in swaps last month.

The IMF and World Bank are tag-teaming with the BIS, saddling 190 nations with debt and pushing for a global currency to “stabilize” the chaos. Their 2025 Global Financial Stability Report admits that derivatives amplify shocks but demands more coordination, effectively surrendering national sovereignty to the globalist throne. The Big Four banks, with $60 trillion in notional value, are the street-level enforcers, suppressing gold and silver prices to the tune of $5 trillion. The “Big Three” asset managers – BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street – own 20-30% of banks and dictate risk models for synchronized blowups, perpetuating elite capture and ignoring net-zero swaps that inflate bubbles.

The grand design is to overload the system, crash it, and then “build back” with Basel IV, crushing small banks, and de-dollarization through tariffs and sanctions. The globalist fingerprints are all over the FDIC’s 2025 Risk Review, which nods to commercial real estate cracks caused by green deals. Soros and Rothschild are thriving on chaos, shorting from offshore while the average person foots the bill.

A Crisis by Design: Uncovering the Orchestrated Blueprint and Timeline

We’re witnessing a deliberate crisis, orchestrated by a blueprint that’s been set in motion. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is openly confessing to this controlled demolition in their 2025 manifestos. In their October Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR), titled “Shifting Ground,” the IMF is flagging “elevated risks” stemming from overstretched valuations, sovereign bonds, and nonbank leverage – the very bubbles they’ve inflated through quantitative easing and interconnectedness.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is also sounding the alarm in their June Annual Report, warning of “policy crossroads” as they work to consolidate cartel power through the harmonization of Basel IV. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is proposing elite “frameworks” to govern the impending fragmentation of systems, which they claim will come at a cost of 5-10% of global GDP.

Let’s take a closer look at the timeline of events: In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act was introduced as a mere fig leaf to hide the rot. Fast forward to 2025, and the IMF is warning of slashed growth forecasts, while the World Bank is nodding to emerging market debt traps that will require rescues. The swaps and foreign exchange markets are on the verge of explosion, with the BIS echoing the staggering $579 trillion notional value, which is eroding the dollar. The gold market is also showing signs of cracking, with COMEX records revealing the paper facade.

The globalist playbook is clear: they’re engineering a crisis to fragment the system and then govern the pieces. The real agenda is to implement SDR bailouts and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), consolidate power through Basel centralization, and suppress gold. The WEF’s “Fragmentation” white paper is a blueprint for this plan, which will come at a significant cost to the global economy.
