Hyperinflation Pushes Venezuela to
Print 1,000,000-Bolivar Bills

Original Article

Posted By: Ida Lou Pino, 3/6/2021 7:47:34 PM

Venezuela said it will introduce new large-denomination bolivar notes as hyperinflation renders most bills worthless, forcing citizens to turn to the U.S. dollar for everyday transactions. The country’s central bank posted a statement on its website Friday saying it would begin circulating the new 200,000, 500,000 and 1,000,000 bills to “fulfill the current economy’s requirements” without providing further details.

Buy the durable things you need or want now before China calls in its loans and Dementia Joe's puppetmasters tell him he has to print more money. Oops, sorry, that would be quantitative easing.

Three decades ago, Venezuela was one of the most prosperous countries in South America, and then the Communists got in control. Now look where they are today. Printing million Bolivar notes. Their currency is worthless, and the people in charge looted the country. The leaders lived large. Everyone else lives in squalor. There is a lesson to be learned here.

Let's see one Troy ounce of silver ($25.28) will get you over 7,100,000 Bolivars today. How long will it be before our paper dollar becomes the same as the Bolivar? Last week banks had to pay other banks a fee to give them paper cash in exchange for US 10 year treasury bonds to be used as collateral for the overnight cash loan . If our inflation goes up over 5% we can not pay the interest on our debt bonds, yet we print more paper bills for the 1.9 Trillion $ stimulus. Folks it is time to purchase some hard non paper assets like Silver or other metals of industrial value.

these days it isn't the ChiComs that are underwriting all the borrowing that is underpinning the COVID Relief spending. A huge chunk of the money is coming from the Federal Reserve. The same folks that print the greenbacks that you carry around in your wallet has been creating trillions of dollars out of thin air to buy the government debt. Talk about a sweet deal.

Being $30T in debt tends to do that. Oh, that's us. By the time it's said and done we'll have $50 per gallon gasoline and a Whopper, large fries and a Coke from Burger King will cost $200. $30T in debt / 330M in population = $91,000 owed by every man, woman and child in the US. Keep in mind, that's not every man, woman and child who work (some too young, some too old or retired) in which case it'll be about $91K * 3, or $273K owed by every working adult. Get your wheel barrel now. It'll be needed for carrying around all that cash.

I suspect that very few computer systems in the U.S. could survive hyper inflation. Typically, a system would allow for 11 digits which comes out to a penny short of a billion dollars. Government systems, naturally, allow for much bigger numbers as do private systems that work with Medicare, but the rest will be toast.

Missouri Republican Sen. Roy Blunt announced Monday plans to retire from the Senate, saying he will not run for re-election in 2022. Blunt made the announcement in a video posted on YouTube. Blunt said in a video that "after 14 general election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year." The 71-year old Blunt, a member of Senate GOP leadership, said that he will finish out his current term, which runs through the end of next year.

The White House is bracing for a worsening situation at the U.S.-Mexico border as President Biden faces criticism from both political parties over the influx of migrant children. Biden's No. 1 priority remains the coronavirus pandemic. But the flow of asylum-seekers threatens to overwhelm the country's immigration system after it was overhauled by former President Donald Trump in ways that irritated Democrats. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was dispatched this week to brief reporters at the White House, repeatedly blaming Trump's administration for the country's immigration predicament and warning it would "take time" to undo its "cruelty."

Throughout his presidential campaign and continuing since taking the White House, Joe Biden has promised a transparent approach to press and public relations. Yet in recent weeks, his administration has closed off — at least for now — several key avenues via which the press and public have for years gained a modicum of transparency, accessibility and accountability from the White House. These moves to curb press and public access come as President Joe Biden himself has at times appeared to be struggling with the public demands of his job.

If Joe Biden gives a State of the Union address sometime this March, it will be late, based on precedence, but still in accordance with an 87-year tradition. All of which brings up the question: if Joe Biden does not deliver or cannot deliver a State of the Union address, is he truly the president? In 38 days, he has not held a full press conference. Each of us who frequent Townhall.com and read the articles has known for quite a while that poor old Joe lacks the cognitive capability to handle the job.

Andrew’s in the soup, that’s for sure. Wrap your head around this: The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Cuomo took time out from coronavirus hot-dogging last June to offer tattoo-placement advice to a just-turned-25-year-old female aide of no particular expertise during a private, closed-door sit-down in the state Capitol. Cuomo suggested “she should put the tattoo on her buttocks, so people would not see it when she wore a dress,” the paper says.

The team, led by an international cohort of researchers, said last week that it was "extremely unlikely" that the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, an infectious disease laboratory that has for years conducted experiments with coronaviruses — some of it funded by the U.S. government.

Merrick Garland is finally getting his day before the Senate. Garland, President Joe Biden’s pick to be attorney general, will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday for the first day of his confirmation hearings, scheduled to continue through the week. The hearings were delayed amid some partisan squabbling while Democrats and Republicans struggled to come to a power-sharing agreement in the evenly divided Senate. Those delays came after Garland was denied any hearings at all in 2016, when former President Barack Obama nominated the centrist judge to the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative stalwart.

Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
