    Continuing the theme of recent weeks observing the slow motion crisis in AI and financial asset markets (SP500, Nasdaq, Cryptos, Gold-Silver), today's show discusses how it appears contagion across financial asset markets has begun. Where's the likely 'black swan'? What's happening to stocks in software, financial, and transport as AI destruction becomes more evident. What's driving the imminent crisis in AI, cryptos and metals?

How's this different.  The show will conclude with further discussion of Trump's 'fake news' US economy, as recent US jobs numbers show stagnant job market continues.

    Alternative Visions with Jack Rasmus - 1/30/26

    Gold prices are accelerating, the US dollar falling, and Trump announces a new Fed chair who will lower Fed short term rates soon. What's the effect between all three? Will the gold bubble continue? Will the dollar continue to devalue? What will lowering Fed rates mean for both? What's the connection to four decades of financialization and globalization of US capitalism. The growing contradictions (and instability) in US monetary policy is a hallmark of the current period. What does this mean for the US empire's global economy weakening?

    Trump's Tariffs, Greenland Grab, and WEF Speech  The show today looks at the scope and actual results of Trump's tariffs over the past year. What are they really about. Next the latest in his grab of Greenland. What's in the 'framework' agreed to with NATO? Why it's not a pullback from US absorbing it, as the US mainstream media and libs are saying. Last, a review of Trump's speech to the WEF and especially why the US economy is not in great shape, except for speculators in gold, silver and AI bubbles. Why US GDP is much lower, jobs growth stagnant and inflation much higher than reported.
