Major Banking Crisis Looms as Study Finds Nearly 200 More Banks Could Potentially Collapse
The following content is sponsored by Monetary Gold, the official gold sponsor of Breitbart News.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, followed by Signature Bank two days later, turned out to be the second largest bank failure in U.S. history. That is no small feat.
A recently published study by the Social Science Research Network found that 186 banks across the United States could collapse if half of their respective uninsured depositors were to withdraw their funds. Meaning you, an American citizen, walk into your bank and ask for what is rightfully yours. That simple act could collapse 186 banks with potentially $300 billion in insured deposits at risk.
The SSRN Study also evaluated banks’ asset books around the United States, and they found that there is an estimated $2 trillion discrepancy in their overall market value. They also said that uninsured depositors are a major source of funding for commercial banks and account for about $9 trillion of bank liabilities. So, if we, the people, were to ask for our money back, these banks could present a “significant risk” of collapsing the banking system.
Do you see 2008 again on the horizon? What’s different now? The bank collapse of 2023-2024 is but a mile away, and we can see it coming. In 2008, we were surprised, but now we are witnessing the same 2008 signals. Today, each one of us can still do something about protecting ourselves.
The banking system is made up of 100 percent paper assets. Money, stocks, bonds, mortgages, contracts, futures, etc. All paper. Just like during the Great Depression, we could all wake up one day to find our paper asset values cut in half—or worthless. With $31 trillion of debt, could that happen again?
There is only one way to protect your assets. That is to take 20 to 30 percent of your cash or paper assets and put them into precious metals. Determining what precious metals are right for you depends on your end game. This is not a “one size fits all” question.
But at the end of the day, it still boils down to “the preservation of capital.” If a $100,000 account has $30,000 in gold and the rest in stocks, and the stocks take a 60 percent hit, you now have $28,000 in stocks. More than likely, based on history, your gold might now be worth $35,000. So, now, after a 60 percent hit to your account, you still have $63,000 left. That’s one-way gold works to protect your portfolio and your retirement accounts.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Those words could not be any more true than they are today. Just taking one step towards preventing the loss of your savings will save you countless sleepless nights when the financial system begins crumbling from debt.

FNC’s Carlson: ‘The Trans Movement Is the Mirror Image of Christianity, and Therefore Its Natural Enemy’
Tuesday, FNC host Tucker Carlson reacted to what he deemed evidence of the so-called transgender movement becoming increasingly “militant” and “possibly dangerous” after three minors and three adults were allegedly killed by a transgender person earlier this week in Nashville.
Carlson described the movement as the “mirror image” of Christianity, making it the religion’s enemy.
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: It was just last week that we noticed that parts of the transgender movement seemed to be getting militant and possibly dangerous. We did a whole segment about it on Thursday night. That segment was sparked by an NPR segment we had heard and never expected to hear. NPR, as always, as a matter of editorial policy, completely opposed to civilian ownership of firearms, with the possible exception of maybe IRS agents.
Yet here suddenly was that very same station, National Public Radio, positively urging trans people to buy guns, as many guns as possible and if necessary, to use them: “The world is dangerous,” explained one trans gun owner, “You have to be dangerous back.”
That seems strange to us. Is the United States really a dangerous place for trans people? Well, West Baltimore is dangerous. You could easily get murdered there. But if you’re trans in this country, obviously there are many downsides, but there do appear to be some benefits. It’s a lot easier to get into Harvard, for example. It’s definitely easier to get a job at Citibank or in the Biden White House.
If you’re transgender can so much as fly a kite, the Pentagon will happily make you an F-35 pilot just so Hollywood can make a movie about it.
Identifying as trans, whatever, again, its downsides, does convey status in this country, which is why so many young people now do. Not a lot of 19- year-olds are pretending to be car mechanics or a lineman for a regional power company in Eastern Ohio, but plenty of college freshmen do pretend to be members of the opposite sex, and why wouldn’t they?
The people in charge despise working class Whites, but they venerate the trans community. People are just responding to incentives. It’s rational in a way. But that does not explain the anger that we heard in that NPR segment. Why are some trans people so angry, and why do they seem to be mad specifically at traditional Christians?
We can’t think of any trans person who has ever been murdered by a pastor. As far as we know, that has never happened. So, it’s not an actual threat of violence from Christians that’s inspiring some trans people to buy an AR-15s. No, it has got to be more fundamental than that, and it is.
The trans movement is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy.
In Christianity, the price of admission is admitting that you’re not God. Christians openly concede that they have no real power over anything, and for that matter, very little personal virtue. They will tell you to your face that they are sinful and helpless and basically absurd. They’re not embarrassed about any of this. They brag about it. “That saved a wretch like me,” goes the most famous Christian hymn ever written in English.
The trans movement takes the opposite view. Trans ideology claims dominion over nature itself. We can change the identity we were born with, they will tell you with wild eyed certainty. Christians can never agree with the statement because these are powers they believe God alone possesses.
That unwillingness to agree, that failure to acknowledge a trans person’s dominion over nature, incites and enrages some in the trans community. People who believe they are God can’t stand to be reminded that they’re not.
So, Christianity and transgender orthodoxy are wholly incompatible theologies. They can never be reconciled. They are on a collision course with each other. One side is likely to draw blood before the other side. That’s what we concluded last week.
Yesterday morning, tragically, our fears were confirmed. A self-identified trans person called Audrey Hale committed mass murder at a Christian school in Nashville. Hale burst into a place called the Covenant School and executed three nine-year-olds, as well as three adults. Police have released body cam footage from the end of the massacre. We’re showing you just a small part of it. You can see the rest online if you want. We’re not going to show it because it’s too awful and sad.
But what was almost sickening to see in a far more subtle and insidious way was the media coverage of yesterday’s tragedy.
Here’s Terry Moran of ABC News, for example, suggesting that Christians were murdered in Tennessee because they infringed on the rights of transgendered people. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
TERRY MORAN, ABC NEWS: Audrey Hale was — identified herself as a transgender person. The State of Tennessee earlier this month passed, and the Governor signed a bill, that banned transgender medical care for minors, as well as a law that prohibited adult entertainment, including male and female impersonators after a series of drag show controversies in that State.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: The State of Tennessee bans the sexual mutilation of children. Children get shot to death in a school. It’s cause and effect. That’s what ABC News is telling you. That’s not far from justifying mass murder, but others took the next step.
A group called the Trans Resistance Network said that the shooter’s death was a complex tragedy that resulted from “anti-trans bias.”
The Hershey Chocolate Company’s new trans spokesman, meanwhile, someone called Fae Johnstone, posted messages after the shooting complaining about “trans misogyny.”
In Canada, a taxpayer funded trans rights organization put out a statement that ignored the murder of the children in Nashville entirely and instead claimed that there has been an “exponential rise in anti-trans violence.”
That is a lie. It’s a provable lie, and in fact, the opposite is true. We seem to be watching the rise of trans terrorism.
The man who tried to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the repeal of Roe v. Wade, identified as a “trans gamer girl.” The man who shot up a nightclub in Colorado in this past November and murdered five people identified as non-binary, and now this and there could be more.
Antifa has announced this coming Saturday is the Trans Day of Vengeance. Vengeance for what? That’s not explained, but the suggestion is there will be violence in Washington this weekend.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted about this today, because if there is a day of vengeance coming, the rest of us should probably know about it and for doing so immediately had her official congressional Twitter account suspended. You’re not supposed to talk about any of this, apparently, and the authorities in Nashville are certainly not planning to talk about it. They’re doing their best not to.
Here’s the police chief of Nashville explaining that while he’s happy to talk about the shooter’s guns, he’s not going to tell you anything about the shooter’s motives. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOHN DRAKE, NASHVILLE POLICE CHIEF: So, in the manifesto, there’s several different writings about other locations. There were locations. There was talks about the school. There was a map of the school, a drawing of how potentially she would enter and the assaults that would take place.
There’s quite a bit of writing to it. I have not read the whole the entire manifesto. Our team and the FBI has been working on this.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: Well, that’s interesting. Within what seemed like minutes, we saw pictures of the rifles and the pistol. We now have horrifying bodycam footage from within the school, it is so unsettling, we’re not going to show it to you. But somehow we can’t see the manifesto in which the killer explains why she killed.
Why is that? It’s not accidental. You know exactly why it is — because it would make the obvious undeniable. The trans movement is targeting Christians, including with violence.
Most Christian leaders in this country don’t want to admit that. Admitting it might force them to take deeply unfashionable positions, but it is true and anyone who is paying attention knows that it’s true and so, like most true things at this point, it is officially suppressed.
Here, for example, is Joe Biden yelping again about how it’s all your fault when these tragedies happen because you’ve got guns at home. This is from yesterday.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation — ripping the very soul, the nation and we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons.
You know, a shooter in this situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol, two AK-47s. So, I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: So, we are going to prevent you from learning why the shooter did it, and we don’t have to guess because she wrote a whole manifesto about why she did it, and we know that she did that because she told a friend of hers on Instagram that she did it, but we can’t see it. We can only talk about the guns. We can’t know what kind of drug she was taking, what kind of hormones or SSRI or benzodiazepines. We can only guess. We can only talk about the guns.
Pass my assault weapons ban. That’ll fix the problem, but Joe Biden is lying about that. He knows that he’s lying and you know that he’s lying.
Yesterday’s massacre did not happen because of lax gun laws. Yesterday’s massacre happened because of a deranged and demonic ideology that is infecting this country with the encouragement of people like Joe Biden. Let’s start by being honest about that.

yeppers and welcome back....hadn't seen you for a while
the real assaults are on the 1st and 2nd Amendments
The joys of new life....Jammer is pretty smart
so he's in a 100 gal plastic tub with cat litter and then hay on top
I have a piece of snow fence with another as a gate held on with beaners
it swings open so you can step in and close behind you
for the unaware...snowfence is 1/4" thick x 4' high x 2" wide slats
held together with twisted wire with a 2" gap between the slats....
doesn't work worth a shit for it's intended purpose but does well enough
for the purpose at hand.......
so once he's had his bottle, just like a mom, you have to stimulate his arse
like her tongue with a warm wet washcloth to stimulate a pooh...at some point
he'll figure out how to pooh....most all baby mammals require this
it's why people that try to save pups or cats lose them because they don't do this
well this a.m. appears he figgered it out and took a pooh by the gate
while he was waiting for his bottle of calf milk replacer
he got some on the side but just took a plastic bread bag, snagged it after it set a few
with a little hay and then washed the side and it was a pretty big one for him
so with his pooh all done.....
someone declared I'M FEEDING THE BABY AND WILL WASH HIS BUTT!!!!
so said ok....well he had his bottle....she started washing his arse but didn't have
the washcloth ready for what was next......apparently he still had another big one
ready to go....all soft and gushy like watery pudding.....more than a handful
and without the washcloth positioned to accept it
she got a handful + some and carried on so much about it
I just couldn't stop laughing.....had tears in my eyes from all the extra verbage
and apparently it was pretty ripe smelling as she was bent over his backside......
looking at Jammer....he had an expression that was practically human
as he looked at me with: I WAS A GOOD BOY WASN'T I...!!! Damn I'm Good!!!
so I said: Good Boy Jammer!!! just like when he did one by himself......
it's rather funny the sounds that expel from a human mouth that is rather
disgusted with something....and you hear words and sounds unimagined......

Dodging the Apocalypse
By J.R. Dunn March 23, 2023
A little over a week ago, on Sunday, March 12, a near-catastrophic event occurred that could have wrecked the lives of everyone reading this:
A Powerful Solar Eruption on Far Side of Sun Still Impacted Earth.
A massive eruption of solar material, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, was detected escaping from the Sun at 11:36 p.m. EDT on March 12, 2023. The CME erupted from the side of the Sun opposite Earth.
This was a replay of the Carrington event of September 1, 1859:
Suddenly, [British astronomer Richard Christian] Carrington spotted what he described as “two patches of intensely bright and white light” erupting from the sunspots. Five minutes later the fireballs vanished, but within hours their impact would be felt across the globe.
That night, telegraph communications around the world began to fail; there were reports of sparks showering from telegraph machines, shocking operators and setting papers ablaze. All over the planet, colorful auroras illuminated the nighttime skies, glowing so brightly that birds began to chirp and laborers started their daily chores, believing the sun had begun rising. Some thought the end of the world was at hand…
What happened on March 12 was similar to the 1859 outburst – only worse. Early estimates suggest that this explosion was ten to a hundred times more powerful than the one of 1859. Such events – if not quite so extreme -- are not uncommon. One serious difference from 1859 was that explosion took place on the side of the sun facing away from earth. If it had been facing in our direction, if the earth had borne the full brunt of that blast, we can scarcely imagine the results. It’s likely that all operating electrical systems would have been immediately destroyed, the same as the telegraph systems in 1859. Any active electronic instruments – and possibly even those that happened to be shut down – would have been fried, transformed into useless hunks of plastic, metal, and silicon. The electrical and electronic networks (e.g., the Net) that form the framework of Third Millennial civilization would have been annihilated. Once they were destroyed, all power would vanish. Industry would grind to a halt. Massive amounts of data, including almost all financial data, would simply disappear. All methods of communication beyond voice range would no longer exist. It wouldn’t be a matter of waiting to be rescued by a government of any sort. Government would have shrunk to little more than a notion. The very tools on which relief, and even recovery, depend would simply have vanished. The consequences beggar the imagination. A new Dark Age would have been the best option to expect.
The event did have some effects. Spectacular auroras were seen much farther south than usual. For some hours, radio transmission was down above the Arctic Circle globally. Oddly enough, AT itself may well have been affected. That Sunday night I was on duty, as I usually am, and was just shutting things down when the wave front of this thing struck earth a little after 11:30. My PC immediately slowed down, and certain functions started acting iffy. While putting in the final article graphics, I soon learned that they wouldn’t insert, and that the entire graphics system was useless. After a little work I came up with a plausible hack that I thought would cover things – only to learn the next day that the server was down and not loading any scheduled material. It took AT’s excellent tech team several hours to straighten this out.
Very little has been made of this. The media has blithely skipped past it. People who spew bloody froth over “global warming” and other bogosities didn’t so much as twitch, probably because it can’t be blamed on capitalism, industry, or the GOP. Most of the populace is in blissfully ignorant, much the same as a girl I used to know who lived in Carlstadt, a small New Jersey town not far from New York City. A few Weeks after she decamped, in dubious circumstances, for the wilds of central Jersey, I learned from the papers – I was in real estate and kept an eye on things in the area – that a 500-lb. aerial bomb had been found in a garage on Garden St. It had been there since World War II, and over the decades had started to deteriorate, the TNT “sweating” nitroglycerin, a highly explosive and extremely unstable compound that settled to the bottom of the casing. That thing could have gone off any time, and it had would have levelled everything on that side of the street for two hundred yards in each direction.
The address of that garage was two doors down from where that girl had been living. For over a years’ time she had spent her days in a rather nice little apartment without much thought or worries while a few steps away instantaneous death slept without her ever knowing it.
No doubt there are people out there who can’t understand the CME any more than Mimi did that bomb.
Events like this are valuable in that they lend perspective. One of the major flaws of conservatism is its defeatism. If leftism is apocalyptic, conservatism is chiliastic, always eager for that eschatological moment of doom and judgment. It doesn’t matter what it is – China, Soros, fentanyl, the cartels, CRT, transgenderism – every time a cat falls from a tree, a mob suddenly pops out of hyperspace ready equipped with sackcloth and ashes. The Last Day is always dawning, the seals ever breaking open. There’s an entire school of paleoconservative thought devoted to utter defeatism calling itself the “Remnant,” but more on that at another time.
There are always several doomsdays-of-the-moment making the rounds. A recent example has been a revival of WW III due to the war in Ukraine, that events will at any moment escalate until the siloes open up and the missiles start flying. Well… I have my doubts. If I were Vlad Putin and had spent the last year watching my much-vaunted tanks, fighter-bombers, and Hind gunships falling apart on the front lines, I’d think twice about calling out my far more complex strategic missiles.
Similarly, people – very informed people, scientists of the first rank – had been predicting a return of the Carrington event for fifty years or more, as long as it has been understood what had actually happened. They didn’t know when it was coming; a century, maybe, or a century and a half (my sympathies to those who insisted that it would be 500 years). And they were right – it did come. But not in the manner expected. Because of a very simple aspect of celestial mechanics – the rotation of the sun – all that energy blew off into empty space, and humanity did not go the way of the dinosaurs. The moral is, as a wise man once pointed out, “If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure nine will run into a ditch before they get to you.”
And what about our poor sun, victimized by its very nature? To my understanding, this event just past resets the clock. We should have little to worry about for another century or so. But on the other hand, we know so little about solar dynamics – astrophysicists are very unclear about what the precise cause of CMEs is, for one thing – that we can’t be certain. We do know that we have two more years before the current solar cycle tops out, and so far, this has been one of the most intense on record.
So take some time to reflect on the bullet that we just dodged, and give thanks that we’re not right this minute battling amid the dark ruins for the last can of baked beans. Life can be terrible, cruel, and harsh, but it also can be none of those things.

Transgenderism remains a mental illness
By Don Fisher, Jr.
Accompanying the horrifying news today that a mass shooting took place at a Christian elementary school near Nashville, Tenn. was the bizarre background information about the alleged assailant. A troubled young woman has been blamed for the killing of three adults and three children, and she identified herself as a transgender person, according to online profiles she left behind.
Audrey Elizabeth Hale, age 28, had once been a student at Covenant Presbyterian Church's school, which she returned to yesterday to gun down others. Her motives for slaughtering six innocent people aren't clear, but it's obvious to anyone that she suffered from one or more mental illnesses. Whether or not we find out what inner demons drove her to her fatal actions today, we know that her foray into transgenderism should've prompted those who knew her to seek competent psychological counseling.

CDC: Autism rates in the U.S. are skyrocketing, especially in California
March 24, 2023
SAN DIEGO — Autism rates are rising and changing quickly in the United States, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego provide a closer look into what that means, and how California in particular is seeing record numbers.
The latest analysis shows that 1 in 36 American 8-year-olds (2.8%) have been diagnosed with autism. This is notably higher than the reported 1 in 44 (2.3%) of children from December 2021. The figure looks even steeper when you compare it to the CDC’s first autism prevalence report from 2007, which showed only 1 in 150 children (0.7%) were.
