Not sure where to find it.

I think is was called "Why the U.S. Always Goes to War When the Dollar Is in Trouble"
It's pretty obvious, is it not.

We're the Contractor of Hypocracy - and the Bankster to Violent Movements, all causes, all stripes. It's a covert way to transfer money from a printing press into the the eager hands of MIC treasuries - first recipients of seigniorage, those who, as Mises explained, benefit the most from the newly-created, debasing, currency units.

It's a nice little hustle, and it works - until it stops working; until the fiat currency collapses.

Sure, but I thought it was a well put together video even for us that know and have been following this for a long time. A little history and where we are now.

I have been concerned about the dollar since the early 2000's. Started buying PM in 2002. I knew about Bitcoin early, but didn't finally pull the trigger until it was already at $600. I kept being amaze how they kick the can down the road with the housing and stock markets continually to go up. I should have been patient with the home I bought in Denver in 1999. I got rid of it before the 2007-08 dip, but now that house is worth north of a million dollars (I paid $225,000).

House prices the world over will collapse to fractions of their current fiat denominated price, but there won't be anywhere near the current level of buyers, at any price point.

I doubt it.

Prices of homes have already dropped significantly in gold and silver (real money) terms. The government (at least in the United States) will print money like it's going out of style and continue to the debase it. So home prices might be somewhat lower in nominal terms but will not "collapse to fractions of their current fiat denominated price."

Don't feel bad.

Denver is one of the places feeling a real-estate crash.

It's modern American history accelerated. California was the Land of Milk and Honey - and with all that soft living and easy money, the off-brand types did what they do. Crips and Bloods and areas where Engrish not sproken, ofay. This our land now, you unnerstann?

So the good-liberal "professionals," led by the Attorney Class (followed by money-changers and then software engineers) moved into the new Promised Land, Colorado. I discovered Denver in 1989. A big small town in the best sense of the word - a boy from Ohio could feel right at home. (My NeYawk side never really trusted it).

I was last back for a month in 2011. I didn't recognize it - not the landscape, not the laws, not the culture. LA on drugs. Literally, in their case. All that was appealing, was gone - libertarian freedom was as absent as pleasant cops, as non-existent as safety in the streets. Denver back then was leading the way - in public-surveillance camera installations. Instead of stamping out street crime, they were RECORDING it - probably to catch ofay ray-cysts defending themselves without government approval.

Now, finally, housing prices are falling. There's no reason to be there, anymore - Denver is not a beautiful city (ya have to drive 40 miles west to get into some real scenery) and the weather can be fearful at times (admittedly not like Duluth). So...the Left is leaving - for Salt Lake and Boise. And now, Florida. Fresh land to despoil.
