The Asset? Listen carefully!! The Asset is “Gold.” Not a single person on the panel will mention this word. Instead they call it the asset.

These people need to go on a basic communications course, What a shambolic presentation

this aged well :D

Its 2023 and this shit is gold. Almost chilling because it resonate so much right now

Thank you Col Sir, it's always very comforting listening to your rational explanations and speaking the truth. I believe too the NSA establishment is under control by an unseen power. I guessed they too are well aware of their actions that you had mentioned but they have to obey and comply with that unseen power's orders and directions.

Excellent work guys God bless you

Every boring academic knows the US is toast. Someone needs to draw a cartoon to explain it to the rest of the American public.

I agree & congratulate the Watson Institute, that I started listening to about a month ago , & being a Goan Indian American, my focus was mainly on India/China/US nexus and world politics & Chas Freeman is a marvel to this 85 year Retired Elec. Engineer interested in World politics in my 50 years all over iIndia & my then 35 years in a suburb of Atlanta Georgia USA His synthesis of the world situation is pragmatic & excellent without much verbose, Thank You Chas - Sydney Jerome Desouza’Prabhu’

They said that 5 years ago, it is interesting to see what a different 5 years later.

2022..........US is gone, actually. Unrecognizable.

3 hours of someone sporadically coughing loudly directly into the mike.

The information here is fantastic. Now I would like to compare where we are now at the end of 2022...

I wonder how many of these people still feel the same today given this article is now very old. The dollar is the worlds FIAT currency and confidence in its long term economy and government stability is significantly weaker. Given the EU is now rumbling for a trade war and the renminbi is by far the most important currency given it provides the majority of worlds goods and hence needs. Ironically the states is it’s biggest buyer of goods, but as nothing is based on gold anymore what is it’s value given it continues to print money causing continuous inflation and devaluation of its strength. Sooner or later we will end up with 3 different nations war ships demanding payment in Gold which nobody believes the states could honour. The final benefit to the states is most countries are in a similar economic position I.e. every bodies housing market is in decline. A global recession/ depression is highly likely. One thing is for sure as a safe haven for other governments reserves the US dollar is not.

the Watson institute does a great service broadcasting these discussions for anyone to listen and learn from, really appreciate the effort.

I had been thinking about this, having no clue it actually exists. So happy to stumble across this. Thank you

I know Chas Freeman only Thru You Tube- wish I knew how to get excerpts of his talks in written form so as to start my new career as a political writer on political opinions!!! Sydney

I thought I sounded frustrated and completely drained lol

Companys fail causes are these people in meetings. The ship is sinking and rearranging the deck chairs eats up funding.

Apparently, 5 years longer than this video. 🤣

Why did I watch this whole video at 2:35am 3 days ago

2017: welcome to Watson, the place to cough freely and loudly into the mic. 2022: GTF OUTTA HERE with that nasty viral load.

Mr Hodges nailed it perfectly

It is very important to complete your financial ststments by adding the statement of sources of income and uses of income especially in time of wars,disputes, and military and security expenses and the impact of sanctions, both on the actual and anticipated future valuations of assets, liabilities and margin Also, when you propose to incclude geopolitics perspective in your figures, il might be relevant to discuss the perspective of the political value of the dollar in term of its status as World reserve currency and its power in the forex market.

Did Megan Greene just say that economic models don't include geopolitical risk? No wonder their models are out of touch with reality...

5 years?

Now with the recent economy,To get financial FREEDOM you have to be making money while you’re asleep

You are forgetting WHO has the liens on thoses contrey '$.

Great info. But that constant "COUGHING " is like a wet blanket over the learning experience. So annoying !

While there many good talking points here, this is a partial scope to real geopolitical Root Cause symptoms in poverty & wealth conflicts. Apparent monopolies of free speech are also held under opinion as constraints to any public forum such as this comment section in regard to time proving otherwise to held discord viewpoints here.

Now when this mortal puts on immortality and this corruptible puts on The incorruptible then comes the end

Security key for us.....

Deer in headlights?

That guy in blue sweater did he prepare ?

Lousy sound system.

There it is..they believe they are smart..unlike the more intelligent observing them.

I have knowledge about this scam your not covered point in this

Will the lady on the end leave off coughing and messing with her nails while on camera?

They should review this presentation and realise how shit it was. They just think of the private investor criterion. The US never gained its dollar reserve status because of private investors but because of wars and other countries relationships with the US post world war 1 and 2. This is completely missing from their understanding and is not factored in to their analysis. So utterly misunderstanding of what drives/supports the dollar and dollar assets in its proper global geopolitical context.

Politicians and central bank biggest risk for America.

This way 5 years ago…

The powerful will be ripped from their decadent nests, and cast out into the cold world that we know and endure.

The Roman Empire

An estimate of the value of oil and gas Ukraine has access too. The guess was. 8-12 trillion usd so suggestion Was made to give loan lease of 300 billion with a reserve of another 200 billion . That would be the account Ukraine could draw from

There is no real challengers

To many commercials

In spite of the economic downturn and inflation crisis we all face, one still need to Set goals and take bold steps in achieving them, Remember success is not obtained overnight. We just have to stop procrastinating and try what we have always wanted, to improve our life and wellbeing, I believe Investing will take us closer to that dream

As a former Borrower, the Chart of Valuations is similar to a Bankers Lending Portfolio, in that the Lending Contracts have changed drastically in Real Value, mostly because of the failure of Globalisation and Currencies held by the various Parties. (Putting numbers on forward planning is useless and Magical Thinking when trading in Drought and volatile Markets) Very interesting thanks, but too stressful to revisit while the same climate of futility and deliberately treacherous contractual promises continue to prevail. There's a Forever War on.

3 hours of talk and no real information.

or another way to say it that even though these economists make big bucks in academia as matters pertaining to the economy at large is a hot topic nowadays,they share their expertise and analysis with the wider public and not just with the 1percent, as many people chose to do from politicians to business only the highest bidder is engaged

End the Fed. Issue Constitutional money. The retail banks can handle business. We don't need the central bank global government destroying prosperity generation after generation, with crisis after contrived crisis, ruining people's lives.

We may have nuclear war before.

The is a very simple answer. The dollar will hold its reserve status as long as the other G7 countries want it to be and as long as the US keeps protecting G7 countries militarily. The above has nothing to do with debt in the normal sense like a person or household because the reason why other G7 countries invest in US treasuries is because of the above. As long as this virtuous circle holds then the the dollar remain the most marketable currency, then the US Treasury bond then all other dollar denominated assets. The strength of the US military comes from its people and its natural resources and its innovation. Its people and innovation derive and build military value because of its open culture, stable democracy and rule of law and wiliness to take risks.....oh and because it is an English speaking nation, which is the most widely spoken language internationally, thus enabling or facilitating the flow of people and cultural mix, thus making English speaking countries very attractive to live work and play for non-native English speakers as well as native English speakers. All these things enable the US to be an attractive country for migration and thus its population will grow and is age distribution will be balance (not too many old aged people and not too many young people).

It is disappointing that this content is ancient. Why can't a person get something more relevant for today.

LOL

The desolations will continue until the end of the war The end will come like a flood

Cough cough cough…

Sack the sound engineer...

Time to go back on hard currency . Go figure . Nixon's error has long past . Go figure .

More than 5yrs lol

Do the people realise that this video was made in 2016. Pre covid and pre Ukraine war.

quivering voice is annoying

Constant coughing in background is terrible 😫 😩

5:00 wtf is she talking about

The truth is with this recent economy Everyone needs more than there salary to be financially stable. The the best thing to do with your money is to Invest it rightly because money left for saving always end up used with no returns....

One world government One world currency One world religion One BIG corporation PRISON.

Llm .

Dan Drezner voice sounds like Kyle Kulinsky... When I heard him talking, I RAN INTO THE ROOM to turn it off. I listened to this guy for 40 minutes and just like Kyle, HE'S VERY WRONG. BRICS seems to be kicking ass while we're a declining (and desperate) superpower who is kicking, screaming and breaking things to try and stay relevant.

We are in the end stage of capitalism.

#quitccp

COVID DEATH of video

You are an wrong that’s why you have to push this😂.

Not to long, I predict one year.

World reset. Regional powers influencers

Bitcoin is the only way out of this debt based system that has to fail long term.

Intentional coughing ( fake coughing ) to sabotage the whole presentation.

3 hours of a mic'ed tuberculosis patient ?

Obedience to God will bring changes we all need. I implore you, seek, listen to His every word and obey it all. Then watch Him show up moving with changes. Choose to believe God and see why it's a great decision. For everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, that He is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere, sickness and death, tyranny and over ruling by government?… People ask where is God and His faithfulness, and His love … in all this evil of the world, where is God and why is evil going on and getting worse? God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕 Do you believe in Yeshua as the son of God who died and rose 3 days later? If yes you are saved, receiving eternal life in heaven. If no, call upon Him and believe believe because if you don't choose to believe while alive you will spend eternity in hell, agony. Choose to believe and then seek Him to know Him from scripture. We are each supposed to seek Him, know Him and obey Him. We are Responsible for that each day. Seriously ponder God, believe for salvation and obedience because He is faithful in every way to His word, blessings and curses, healings and deliverance, peace and patience, love and joy. also all the fruit of the spirit, from being in His presence. ❤️ Censorship is against the constitution of the united states, it is illegal to suppress freedom of speech.. God will move because of this law breaking too. You should stop breaking the law, repenting and obey His every word, in Yeshua's name 💕🙏

never have i seen a more larger waste of tax payer money than these guys and the way they speak about things they have no idea about.

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

I like Trump a lot

The guy has no idea what he is talking about.

We need Christianity that’s the real solution to human civilization; Grace runs the universe; always has always will
