Lastly, it warns of the potential for a debt saturation collapse, which could harm the U.S. economy, small businesses, and the middle class.

➡ The speaker emphasizes the importance of unity and action to improve our current situation, which they compare to living in hell. They criticize the political system, suggesting it only benefits a small percentage of people.

The speaker encourages listeners to try the Freedom Platform, assuring them it’s a safe and worthwhile investment.

Okay, here we go, everybody. It’s me, Gregory Mannarino, Tuesday, August 19th, 2025, post-market wrap-up. Let’s just start off with this market real quick. Nothing major, really, but the setup. The thing that we’re going to cover with the setup is, and what the market is actually waiting for. Most of you already know, especially those lines of you who are part of the Freedom Platform. I mean, it’s just incredible stuff that we’ve been covering as of late. And I’m going to talk about a little bit what we covered this morning, for those of you that are not subscribers to the Freedom Platform.

Because it’s just too important to set the stage for what’s going on here. We have a market and an entire system that cannot function at all without several pieces in place. And you already know what they are. Let’s just start from the top. Vast debt expansion on a planetary level like we’ve never seen before in the history of the world again. Think big, beautiful bill. They throw it in your face. Let’s add $4.1 trillion to the national debt. You’re back. This leads to currency devaluation on a massive scale. Compound that along with what we are going to get.

And that is lower rates across the board. That may be enough to propel the stock market higher and potentially much higher until something breaks. What’s breaking here? We are in a full-blown absolute currency crisis on a massive scale. How did we know that? Because inflation continues to rise. Their own numbers, which are all fake, it’s so much worse. Everything, the data we’re going to cover in a moment with our economy, is so much worse than they’re letting us know. And it’s going to get more fake with President Trump’s firing of the BLS supervisor who tried to fake the numbers to the upside.

It wasn’t enough. And then with this new Fed chair, there’s now 11 in the running. And we’re going to cover what Besant said. It’s just a mind-blowing, unholy alliance. It really is devilism. I don’t know another way to put it. So what’s happening here is very, very clear. The mechanisms in place are designed to do one thing. Suck wealth right out of the economy, whatever’s left of it. Ain’t much. Suck wealth right out of the middle class. Whatever’s left of it, ain’t much either. The middle class news that we got today, record high debt, record defaults across the board.

People are borrowing just to survive. Prime members of the middle class have now assured themselves a front seat on the roller coaster ride into the pit. It’s just an incredible thing. The one and two percenters are raping, raping whatever’s left of the economy. The middle class, U.S. small businesses being crushed. Even big business earnings coming in, falling short, hollowed out. We’re going to talk more about that in a moment as well. But the mechanisms in place are too freaking diabolic. Because that’s really the word. And it’s not going to stop. It’s only going to compound because it must.

In order for the one and two percenters to keep raping our nation, raping the middle class, raping small businesses, they have to foster the cantillon effect to an even greater degree. Again, the law of diminishing reappearance applies. What am I talking about? Devaluing the currency. Who gets it first? The one and two percenters, those closest to the money before inflation sucks it dry and it gets to you. They’re laughing. They’re laughing at us across the border. Let me tell you something. Not only is God watching, the world is watching. The United States is a failed state on a scale that I really don’t think many people can get their head around.

This means that you and I really have to take action like we’ve never taken before. How do we fix this? What’s the solution? You all know the solution is returning purchasing power to the currency. Not taking it away like Trump is calling for, like Vance is calling for, the Federal Reserve wants every central bank. They all want the same thing, the ability to inflate. What better unholy alliance can you have between a sitting president, a sitting vice president, who are calling for the same things that make the Fed monumentally stronger on top of what just happened in the shadows over the weekend.

Most of you already know about this. Every single one of you who follows the freedom platform knows what I’m talking about. What the Fed just did was basically change the game all together, vaulted itself to the pinnacle of supreme power over everything now. Past, present, and future, everything now goes through Fred rails. Period. And again, this is the system that you and I have been speaking about. This is time, a memorial, a system of maximum control. You know what’s going to happen? People are going to fling their hands up and surrender to the system because they have no choice.

The system is being set up in a way to create dependency. I’ve been covering this with you guys and girls for the better part of a decade. Dependency. Dependency means people will surrender to the system and take whatever they get. Thank you. Phew. Bang. May I have another? Thank you. Bang. May I have another? Beg for a solution. Problem, reaction, solution. It’s never different. And I am telling you what’s going on. We’re going to talk more about this in a moment. It’s just a disaster area. Now, with regard to the markets today, as I said, nothing really going on here.

The Dow was in record territory earlier today. It fell back under a little bit of pressure, not much. The S&P 500 and the negative as well. NASDAQ took the biggest hit today. That might be some profit taking. It could also be the bump up that we’re seeing in the 10-year yield. Again, the law of diminishing returns. We know the Fed is buying all the debt. They have become the lender and buyer of last resort. We know that the U.S. Treasury now has a main line directly to the Fed. They’re buying back their own debt. Think about what I’m saying.

The Treasury issues debt. The Fed’s buying it all. And for the Treasury to buy back their own debt, the Fed’s buying that too. The Fed has literally become the lender and buyer of last resort. Foreign investors, they don’t want our debt. They don’t want our dollar. Neither do you. No one wants our products. I don’t care if President Trump and Vance get their wish and suck more purchasing power out of the currency. It’s not going to make the world jump for joy for U.S. products. For those of you that still believe that delusion that was set in motion by the greatest con man who’s ever lived.

Who’s ever lived. He can get people to believe anything, not me and you. Because we’re too smart and far ahead of the curve. But again, it’s just an incredible con job across the board. You have cryptocurrencies today falling under pressure. Gold, especially silver, fell under pressure. Crude oil. Dollars still dying. It’s a debt asset. It’s dying and no one wants it, not even you. So, you know, look, how do we fix all this again? Return purchasing power to the currency. Period. We’re not going to get that. We’re going to get weaker currency. We’re going to get lower rates here.

We’re going to get vast debt expansion, of course. Are you watching what’s happening to the national debt? It’s ballooning. What about all the tariff money we were supposed to be collecting? That was going to pay down the debt. How about when President Trump chopped up the United States into five million dollar bills, selling them off to the highest bidder? Oh yeah, that was supposed to pay down the debt, too. It didn’t work, did it? No, MAGA people, where are you? Take your thumb out of your rectal cavity and start talking instead of sucking on it.

I don’t know what else to tell you guys and girls. Are your brain dead? Really? What’s going on with you? Certainly not what you voted for. Anyway, nor I or anybody else here, people, take off the chain. Free yourself. Let’s talk about, this is in your inbox right now if you subscribe to the Freedom Platform Lions Alert. This is the end game. New Fed powers. The entire breakdown of what the Federal Reserve is now capable of doing. And it’s frankly, devilism, diabolic, Satanism, Luciferianism, whatever you want to call it, that’s what we have here. It’s an unholy alliance.

What is happening now and what Besant is doing right now as well with the Federal Reserve and President Trump. I’m going to talk about that in a second. I just want to cover some of the economicers again. This stuff here, exclusive to those of you who are investing yourselves and into your own future and are members of the Freedom Platform, just take me up on my seven-day free trial. Link in the description of the video. If you don’t love it, I won’t believe it. I mean, there’s no commitment there. If you don’t like it, you just say, I don’t want anymore.

Anyway, Lions Alert. This is the end game. New Fed powers in the economy and freefall. The full breakdown. I’m not doing the full breakdown again. This is exclusive to Freedom Platform people. But let’s start with this. New Fed powers in the economy and freefall. The illusion is cracking. Even the mainstream media is having a hard time covering up the ever-worsening freefall economic scam show. That’s what I call the news. What we’re seeing here is Babylon’s final stage experiment, handing the Federal Reserve new powers across the board to manage not just interest rates, but the entire flow of credit, liquidity, and digital exchange on a scale that has never been seen before.

Now, I’m just going to go over today’s economic news, the rest of this stuff. You’re going to have to subscribe to the Freedom Platform to get it. And this is key. Anyway, today’s news, as of today, actually yesterday and this morning, retail sales show that they are faltering, consumer debt breaking new records, American citizens, formerly known as the middle class, borrowing just to survive while wages stagnate. With that, corporate earnings hollowed out, and even the Fed and the U.S. Treasury, both buying increasing amounts of debt, the credit markers are showing over strain. That’s all I’m going to read from that.

But it’s just an incredible thing. Those of you who really look, all you got to do, you want to find out, you don’t want to subscribe to the Freedom Platform, that’s fine. Go to the Federal Reserve’s own website. The truth is hidden in plain sight. Just go through all of the data there, like I did, like I do for you guys and girls, and you’re going to find out everything I’m talking about. And the website, again, photoreserve.whatever it is, or just go there and find out anything you want. Now, Besson says, interviews for an incredible group, incredible group, that’s code, of potential Fed chairs will start after Labor Day.

Trump and Besson strengthen their ties to the Federal Reserve, devilism hidden in plain sight. Now, I’m going to cover this in its entirety. CNBC, this is what they said, and I’ll tell you where I come in. CNBC, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said Tuesday, he will begin interviewing candidates for the Federal Reserve Chair as soon as the White House whittles down what has suddenly become a crowded field. Besson, in terms of the interview process, we have announced 11 very strong candidates. I’m going to be meeting with them probably after Labor Day and start bringing down the list to the President.

This is what he said, and they are an incredible group. Keep that in mind. This is me. I said, okay, Lions, the setup. Treasury Scott Besson is openly aligning himself with Trump, which they are like the best of friends right now, in more ways than one. I think most of you know which way Besson swings, and we all know how Trump swings. He has some pretty interesting, should we say, habits. In the process of selecting the next Fed Chair, he’s calling the list of 11 candidates an incredible group, which is code for loyalists who will push the agenda.

Trump doesn’t want a weaker dollar. That’s really going to help you out. You know it is, because it’s not weak enough already. Inflation’s not high enough. Lower rates, which is really going to help you too, isn’t it? Oh, of course it is here. You’re going to go out and you’re going to continue to borrow. Keep people done. They’re already maxed out. Lowering rates, all it’s going to do is allow vested expansion. How? Well, the Fed can’t just lower rates. It has to create currency, get into the market and buy the debt, kills the dollar, which is exactly what Trump wants, and vested once as well.

Why? To foster the wealth transfer right up to the 1 and 2 percenters. And lastly, Trump and Besson are both on board with endless debt expansion. Think big, beautiful bill. Throw it right in your face. Do you know why? Because he thinks you’re stupid. Let’s move forward here. The agenda. Trump has made it crystal clear that he wants a weaker dollar and much more artificial rate suppression, calling for dramatically lower rates. You know that’s true. During his last 10 years, he wanted negative rates, meaning if you wanted the privilege to keep your cash in the bank, you’d have to pay him to do it.

That would have really helped you out, wouldn’t it? Yeah, it would have helped you out real, real much. Besson is the bridge between the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Together, they are pushing the Fed toward becoming not just a central bank, but the official liquidity machine of the government and the markets. And with the Fed’s new powers, click here, which, unfortunately, you can’t, unless you’re a member of the Freedom Platform over there. It’s a setup for a system of maximum control. What are the implications? They’re obvious, people. Simple. Greg writes simple here because it’s too freakin’ easy.

This is about consolidating the Treasury and the Fed into one power. Think about it. The Treasury issues the debt. The Fed buys it. The Treasury then buys back all debt, main line to the Fed. It’s a circular debt machine that only works as long as, I guess, people aren’t paying attention. I wrote here, as confidence holds. Think of a snake eating its own tail. That’s exactly what’s going on now. By Trump and Besson locking in a new Fed share who will play ball, Trump and Besson ensure that the system runs deeper into debt saturation collapse, which is exactly what’s going on, with lower rates, a weaker dollar, higher inflation, and permanent intervention.

It’s not going to stop. With lower rates, weaker dollar, higher inflation, permanent intervention. This will, in turn, crush whatever is left of the U.S. economy, U.S. small businesses, and the middle class overall. Think neo-feudalism. Sound familiar to you? It should. We’ve only been telling you that for a thousand years. The danger. You. I. And, yes, foreign nations and investors holding U.S. debt, let’s see what this really is. It’s a rigged game. A Ponzi on life support, and they will accelerate de-dollarization. Do you think that we’re the only ones who know this? Does Besson not know this? Does our illustrious leader not know this? Wharton Business School? He never spent a day there.

Not one. You do realize he had someone go to school for him. He got the degree, didn’t learn anything. I don’t know. Maybe he was fondling children over with Epstein, which I’m certain was actually true. Lions, this is about binding the debt machine tighter than ever around your throat. It tells us one thing loud and clear, that the point of no return is behind us, that the system cannot stand on its own. Pretty obvious, right? And it must be propped up by coordinated manipulation. So what’s the bottom line? Trump and Besson aren’t picking a Fed chair.

They’re picking the chief operator of Babylon’s life support machine. Are you looking for a single word? A single word to sum this all up? Devilism. Yeah, that’s it. If you can’t see it, you’re freaking blind, willfully, or way disconnected from the source. Guys, listen, I don’t know what to tell you, man. Everything we’ve been saying is happening. And if you think it’s done, we’re done. They’re done manipulating us. Sucking us dry. Destroying the economy. This is the greatest wealth transfer and the fastest wealth transfer we’ve ever seen in the history of the financial world. The 1% and 2% are drowning in wealth.

Well, everyone underneath them, the middle class, you’re drowning in debt and sorrow. Your hopes and dreams are being wiped out. So what are you doing about it? Nothing. If you’re a MAGA person, you’re doing nothing. I know for a fact, because I don’t hear a peep out of you guys. You’ve got your thumb up your ass, and I don’t know what you’re waiting for to take it out, and start speaking out against the puppets, the one you think your vote. It really counted. We’re going to make America great again. We’re being wiped out from within.

If you guys, king girls, can’t see it, Greeks calling out Trump, tell me what I got wrong. Okay? Tell me what I’m getting wrong here. You know I didn’t get anything wrong. If you come out and say I did, you’re a paid freaking shill. You know you are. You’re a bot. Because everything I just wrote here and just discussed with you is verifiably true. But give it your best shot. Let’s see what you got. Anyway, guys, listen. Love you with all I got, and I mean that. I just want to wake a few people up here.

Some people are so lost in a delusional state they can never snap out of it. I think they’ve literally been spiritually dispossessed or possessed, but whatever entities are possessing Trump, Bessent, Vance, and the rest of that crew over there, they’re devils. These are not human beings that are running our nation right now, running us into the ground, sucking us dry, again, robbing us of our hopes and dreams and everything else in between. Your children’s future, going up in smoke. Think about that. Yeah, smoke like hell. Think about it. Yeah, you’re in hell. You know, we’re supposed to live in heaven.

You know, the whole concept of dying and going to heaven is just complete falsehood. Thou shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. Yeah, supposed to live in heaven, you know? Just seem like a heaven to you. I don’t think so. And if it’s not, it’s because you’re not doing anything about it. Incredible, man. I really mean that. We’ve got to band together. We have to unify. This is the only way. Most people are going to be so blindsided in our, by everything that’s coming, everything they’re seeing. It’s a nightmare situation for them.

And people create their own hells as well. If you can’t live in heaven, you know, as I just told you, it’s in the book. You know what book I’m talking about. Then you’re going to live in hell, and you’ve chosen that. And that hell starts right at the top of this whatever is left of the United States of America. Wipe out across the board, only to enrich the one and two percentage. But you voted for it, didn’t you? This is what you wanted. Can’t make it up. I don’t care who they would have put behind the residence desk.

They could have put a farm animal there. All they are is a figurehead for people to latch onto. And some people even pray to. Some people believe that Trump is a savior. Does this book tell us, doesn’t this book right here tell us what to look out for? Did you miss it? Are you missing it now? Maybe you need to wake up. That’s my take on it. Love you guys. I will see some of you in the morning. Those of you that do subscribe to the Freedom Platform. And this again is in your inbox. I’m going to urge you guys who do subscribe to the Freedom Platform to read through this in its entirety.

I break this down for you so clearly. There’s no way you can make a mistake. And if you don’t want to subscribe to the Freedom Platform, that’s fine too. If you want to find out what’s in there, go to the Fed’s own website. It’s all there too. It’s hidden in plain sight and they laugh at you because they think you’re too stupid to know where to look. That’s not me. And I don’t believe that’s you. Anyway guys, I do hope to see you over on the Freedom Platform. There is a link in the description of this video.

I did put out an update earlier for our year-end party. It’s locked and loaded. You all know that. November 2nd, those of you that do subscribe to the Freedom Platform, you and the guests are invited there for free. It’s in a big ballroom and we’re going to have a blast. We’re going to have guest speakers and I can promise you’re going to have a good time. I mean that. Hope to see you there. Hope to see more of you on the Freedom Platform. Commit to something. Commit to something. And at least take me up again on my free trial.

If you don’t like it, that’s okay. That’s fine. We part as friends. But at least for a week you can get yourself in the right spot. Way more so than you are here. But anyway, with that, I still got you. I still got you here. I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be here on YouTube. I am here for those of you who swear upside down backwards and sideways that you can’t afford $3 a month. That’s all it costs to be a member of just over $3 a month if you join for the year.

It’s just $40 for the Freedom Platform. So I’m going to stay here for you. But believe me, I’m doing it just for you. I want out of here. These commercials, you like them? They’re not on the Freedom Platform. The AI screening of my videos, your comments with half the time don’t even show up anymore. The bots, the scammers, those are looking to twist your mind. We’re here on YouTube. None of it over on the Freedom Platform. As I said, try it for one week. If you’re not thrilled by being there, again, we part as friends. Still love you.

But give it a shot. It’s free. None of your information gets shared. It’s just we part as friends. As always, we’re always going to be friends, no matter what you guys choose to do or not to. Anyway, love you guys. See some of you in the morning, as I said, who subscribed to the Freedom Platform. Otherwise, I’ll see you tomorrow night. That’s all. [tr:trw].
