“This is Criminally Insane”: Doug Casey on Trump’s Latest Plan for Gaza
By Matt Morgan - February 08, 2025

 

Summary

Doug Casey critiques Trump’s impractical proposals regarding Gaza and Greenland, expressing concerns about their financial implications, potential for increased conflict, and the need for systemic reform in a corrupt government.

 

Geopolitical Implications

  1. Trump’s plan to take over Gaza Strip is deemed “insane” and “treasonous” as it would involve evicting 2 million people, transporting them against their will, and costing the US “gigantic money” to build a resort in a war zone.

  2. The proposal is considered “impossible” and “undesirable” as it would require evicting 2 million people who own the land, violating international law and potentially escalating regional tensions.

 

Financial and Political Concerns

  1. USAID’s budget doubled from $10 billion to $41 billion during Trump’s tenure, raising questions about the philosophical principles behind such a large expansion.

  2. The FBI has 40% of its 13,000 agents working on the “J case” involving average middle Americans entering the Capitol, highlighting concerns about resource allocation and priorities.

 

Gold Market Trends

  1. The gold market is experiencing a huge surge in demand, with 500 tons delivered to COMEX vaults in the last two months, as wealthy individuals seek protection against financial instability.

  2. Gold is considered “grossly overpriced” by standard parameters, while most banks are potentially bankrupt due to fallen-value bonds, with interest rates expected to rise.

 

Government and Celebrity Involvement

  1. Celebrities like Sean Penn and Angelina Jolie are reportedly being paid millions by USAID to attend events, raising concerns about corruption and misuse of funds.

  2. The U.S. government is described as “on tilt”, with increasing scrutiny of USAID’s funding and its connections to various organizations, suggesting potential systemic issues.
