"The Financial “Samson Option”: What to Do Before Governments Pull the Trigger"

"The Financial “Samson Option”: 
What to Do Before Governments Pull the Trigger"
by Nick Giambruno

"In the early ’90s, legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed the “Samson Option,” a secret Israeli nuclear deterrence strategy. It holds that if Israel’s enemies were about to overrun the country, Israel would respond with a massive use of nuclear weapons as a last resort. The concept comes from the biblical figure Samson, who pushed apart the pillars of a Philistine temple, bringing down the roof and killing himself - along with the Philistines who had captured him. In short, the Samson Option is a threat that says, “If we’re going down, we’re taking you with us.”

I’m bringing this up because governments also have a financial Samson Option… and they could soon use it to devastating effect. Thanks to central banking and fiat currency, governments can steal a nation’s savings through currency debasement. In the event of bankruptcy - or other existential situations - governments can tap into the wealth of a nation by creating new currency units as they desperately try to survive. There’s no doubt they’ll exercise that option before they go down.

It gives a government the ability to bankrupt everyone - at least the unprepared - as it goes bankrupt. “If we’re going down, we’re taking you with us.” In short, that’s the government’s financial Samson Option. And they’re preparing to use it soon.

When the Next Crisis Hits: Imagine working 9 to 5 for 50 years… only for the Federal Reserve to print 40% of the money supply and inflate away 20 years of your hard work. You don’t have to imagine - it actually happened during the COVID mass psychosis, as governments worldwide indulged in a frenzy of currency debasement.

It was the most recent example of what happens when the US government faces an imminent financial crisis. In a matter of days, the Fed created more dollars out of thin air than it had over the US’s nearly 250-year existence.

The Fed’s actions during the Covid hysteria amounted to the biggest monetary explosion in US history. It’s a strong indication they won’t hesitate to use the financial Samson Option during the next crisis - which is likely coming sooner than later and could be much bigger than what happened in 2020.

And no matter how they try to disguise it with confusing euphemisms - quantitative easing, reserve management, yield curve control, large-scale asset purchases, open market operations, balance-sheet expansion, liquidity injections, emergency lending facilities, repo operations, and countless other bits of financial jargon - the end result is always the same: currency debasement. When the next crisis inevitably hits - and I think it will be soon - the money-printing programs will likely dwarf the previous ones. Here’s some context.

During the Covid hysteria, the Fed was creating $120 billion out of thin air each month - far larger than the $40 billion per month during QE3, which itself was larger than the monthly pace during QE1 and QE2. That’s why I expect the coming QE - or whatever they decide to call it -will be significantly bigger than the $120 billion per month they injected into the economy during the Covid scam. And if gold is already hitting record highs, imagine what happens when the Fed unleashes even more currency debasement than the last rounds of “stimulus.”

The Biggest Wealth Transfer in History: The US government is approaching the financial endgame. It can no longer disguise its bankruptcy. When the next crisis comes - and I think it could be imminent - the US government will have no choice but to implement its financial Samson Option. In other words, as the US government goes bankrupt, it will drag everyone down with it in a desperate wealth grab. That’s why I believe rampant currency debasement will be the most important investment trend of this decade - and it will devastate most people.

The worst of it could go down soon… and it won’t be pretty. It will trigger an enormous wealth transfer from savers and regular people to the parasitic class - politicians, central bankers, and those connected to them. In short, I believe we’re on the verge of the biggest wealth transfer in history… And those holding US dollars, Treasuries, and other fiat currencies will be on the losing end. Countless millions throughout history have been wiped out financially - or worse - because they failed to see the correct Big Picture as their governments went bankrupt. Don’t be one of them.

But what if you get the Big Picture right? You can avoid financial disaster - and set yourself up to potentially make life-changing profits. That’s the difference between being on the right and wrong side of changes of historical proportion. It’s a rare fortune-building opportunity for those who see the writing on the wall and take the proper action today. So, what can you do about it?
