🔥 Depth Charge #002: The Great Snapback — Gold, Bitcoin, Tariffs & the Implosion of the Global Lie
Date: May 8, 2025
They told you the storm was over.
They told you to stay diversified.
They told you the dollar was fine, the Fed was in control, and AI was just here to make to-do lists and write poetry.
They lied. Again.
And this time, the Snapback is biblical.
💥 Bitcoin has broken back above $100,000
As of today, BTC trades at $101,389, up nearly 5% on the day.
That’s not a chart—it’s a confession.
A confession that trust in fiat, central banking, and monetary control has collapsed—and the people are fleeing to math.
The “magic internet money” is now the most trusted ledger on Earth.
💥 Gold is sitting steady at $3,366/oz
The globalist class calls it outdated.
Their balance sheets say otherwise.
Gold has reclaimed its seat at the table—not as a hedge, but as a warning beacon.
It’s where capital goes when reality breaks through propaganda.
And it’s holding the line while the fiat system frays at every seam.
💥 S&P 500: 5,663 and floating—but hollowed out
Yes, it’s up. But look deeper.
The S&P is riding tech-heavy hope, bloated on AI-driven unicorn speculation and defense stocks.
The bottom half of the market? Flatlined.
The breadth is rotting from within, and retail is holding the bag—again.
This isn’t growth. It’s the last gasp of capital seeking shelter in illusion.
💥 Interest Rates: Locked at 4.25%–4.5%, with 30-year mortgages at 6.85%
That’s not stability.
That’s suspended animation before the reset.
The Fed won’t cut—they can’t. Inflation’s not gone.
Debt’s too high. Liquidity’s too low. And everyone knows the “soft landing” is a bedtime story.

💥 And Trump? He's not playing games.
He’s not tweeting—he’s governing.
And he’s governing like it’s 1776 and the crown just raised your taxes.
New tariffs just dropped on China—quadrupled across EVs, chips, and steel.
AI infrastructure is now under executive protection.
And federal agencies have 18 months to purge foreign tech and go sovereign.
This isn’t isolationism.
This is economic war, wrapped in executive action and digital armor.
The Snapback isn’t coming.
It’s here.
And the subterranean mongrels who sold you globalization, ESG, and index fund serfdom?
They’re getting eaten by the system they built.
