The Fed Won’t Save You—And the Market Is Crashing

EDITOR'S NOTES

Buckle up, folks. The stock market is tanking, and the Fed isn’t coming to the rescue—at least, not yet. We’re not talking about a catastrophic, one-day meltdown (yet), but we are seeing a slow, gut-wrenching decline. And let me tell you, those drawn-out crashes are far worse than a quick plunge. The retail investor—your average hardworking American—gets bled dry while the elites short, manipulate, and profit off your losses.

The Fed? They don’t care about you. They care about keeping the banking cartel running smoothly. If Wall Street starts really screaming, then, and only then, will Powell step in with rate cuts. But by then, it’ll be too late for most investors. And don’t fall for the “lower rates = stimulus” lie. When the Fed finally does cut, it won’t be to help you—it’ll be because the economy is in full-blown recession.

This isn’t just about the stock market. The global economy is circling the drain. Germany, the UK, Japan, Canada—recession or on the brink of one. China’s official numbers? Lies. The real growth rate is a fraction of what they claim. Meanwhile, in the U.S., unemployment is creeping up, consumer confidence is tanking, and major retailers are flashing warning signs.

The system is breaking down, and the ones in charge are playing musical chairs, hoping the crash doesn’t land on their watch. Trump is eyeing control over the Fed, and if he gets his way, Powell is toast. Will that change anything? Maybe in the headlines. But for the average investor? It’s just more theater.

Bottom line: If you’re still all-in on stocks, you’re playing with fire. Lighten your exposure. Get smart. The elites are betting on your losses—don’t give them the satisfaction.

Now, let’s break this down.

The Market Is Sliding, and It’s Only the Beginning

The numbers don’t lie. The Dow is down 6.9% since December, the S&P 500 is down 8.4% since February, and the NASDAQ? A brutal 13.4% drop in under three months. That’s a technical correction, and if you think it’s the bottom, think again.

These aren’t panic-induced crashes. This is a slow, systematic breakdown—one where Wall Street plays possum while bleeding retail investors dry. The worst part? The grind is far deadlier than a sudden crash.

Why a Slow Bleed Is Worse Than a Crash

A one-day market collapse, like 1987’s Black Monday (-20%) or March 2020’s COVID crash (-30%), at least comes with a rapid recovery. The 1987 drop was 60% recovered in two days and fully back in under two years. The 2020 collapse? Completely recovered in four months.

But a slow grind? That’s where investors get destroyed.

Look at the 1970s. The Dow hit 1,000 in 1969. Then it spent 13 years oscillating between 600 and 1,000, wrecking investors who thought each dip was the bottom. Adjusted for inflation, stocks permanently lost 50% of their purchasing power. You didn’t just lose money—you lost time, and you lost buying power.

That’s what we’re walking into now.

The Fed Won’t Save You—Yet

Powell isn’t cutting rates in March. They’ll “pause,” pretending inflation is their biggest concern. But by May? They’ll have no choice. The economy will be in recession, and they’ll scramble to keep things from completely imploding.

Trump is already hammering the Fed, demanding lower rates. But here’s the truth: Lower rates aren’t a good thing. They don’t signal growth; they signal crisis. Rates only drop when the Fed knows the economy is spiraling.

Look at the Atlanta Fed’s GDP tracker. In one week, their Q1 GDP growth estimate went from +2.3% to -2.4%. That’s an economic cliff dive. And the signs are everywhere:

Retail sales? Down.
Consumer confidence? Down.
Labor force participation? Shrinking.
Major retailers (Walmart, Target, Best Buy)? Warning of slowdowns.
China’s growth? A lie. Their real economy is barely moving.

This isn’t just a “bad quarter.” This is systemic failure.

Trump vs. the Fed: The Coming Power Struggle

Here’s where it gets interesting.

A Supreme Court case is looming that could allow Trump to fire the heads of so-called “independent agencies.” If the court rules in his favor, Powell is toast. Trump will replace him with a loyalist, effectively turning the Fed into his personal tool.

Will that matter to markets? Maybe in the short term. But the bigger question is: Does anyone still believe the Fed is independent? Because it’s not. It’s a tool of the banking cartel, and they will do whatever it takes to maintain control.

Expect Powell to resist, expect the media to scream, and expect Wall Street to act like it’s the end of the world. But at the end of the day? It’s just another shift in the game of financial puppetry.

What You Should Do Right Now

The market isn’t done falling. The economy is sliding into recession. The Fed is playing chicken with interest rates. And the elites are getting ready to feast on your losses.

Here’s how you fight back:

Reduce stock exposure. Don’t be the last fool holding the bag.
Diversify into real assets. Precious metals, private equity, anything outside the manipulated system.
Prepare for recession. The job market is turning. The housing market is next.
Get smart. The elites play the long game. So should you.

This is bigger than just market moves. It’s about survival in a system that’s rigged against you.
