Colombia’s Inflation Crisis Is a Warning
Every Ponzi scheme has two key requirements. According to Lynette Zang, what is happening in Colombia right now reveals just how fragile the global monetary system has become.
Colombia’s government is hiking wages by 23 percent in an attempt to keep pace with inflation. But as Lynette explains, you cannot fix a too much debt problem with even more debt. And you certainly cannot print your way out of inflation without creating even bigger unintended consequences.
When Lynette highlights events unfolding abroad, she does so with a clear message: it is coming to a theater near you. This is how governments operate. They create a problem through excessive money printing. Then they attempt to solve that problem with policies that create even more distortions.
On a sound money system, none of this would be necessary. But that is not the system we are on today.
CPI Surge and a 23% Wage Hike
Colombia’s Consumer Price Index has surged, making daily life increasingly unaffordable for its citizens. Economic fear is running deep, not just in Colombia, but around the world.
The government’s solution is a dramatic 23 percent increase in wages. The stated goal is to offset the inflation caused by prior money printing.
But simply paying people more of a rapidly depreciating currency does not solve the underlying issue. It often accelerates the problem.
More currency in circulation fuels more inflation. And that sets off a chain reaction.
Price Controls and the Housing Domino Effect
In Colombia, housing prices are directly tied to wages due to price controls. That means when the legal wage increases, the permitted value of certain homes automatically rises as well.
So what happens when wages are increased by 23 percent?
Home prices move higher.
In response, the government has introduced proposals to limit how these housing prices adjust. As Lynette points out, this is a classic example of governments creating a problem, attempting a quick fix, and triggering ripple effects across the broader economy.
These unintended consequences spread into other asset classes and sectors. And Colombia is not alone in this pattern.
Currency Shifts and a Spike in Gold and Silver
As these policy decisions unfold, currency markets react. The U.S. dollar has dropped against the Colombian currency. Meanwhile, spot silver and spot gold have moved higher.
More importantly, gold and silver are spiking globally.
Lynette emphasizes why this matters. On the paper contract markets, Wall Street can create unlimited fictional gold and silver. These synthetic instruments are designed to suppress prices.
Yet despite that, prices are rising sharply worldwide.
That signals something far more significant: a rapid loss of confidence.
Not just in the U.S. dollar, but in fiat systems globally.
Ponzi Economics: Confidence and New Money
Every Ponzi scheme depends on two things:
- Confidence
- New money
The public must maintain confidence in governments, central banks, and the monetary system. Without that belief, the structure collapses.
Second, the system requires constant inflows of new money. But new money creates more inflation. And that inflation erodes purchasing power, feeding what Lynette calls a doom loop.
The result is a self-reinforcing cycle of debt, money printing, and declining trust.
And according to Lynette, there is no place to escape this system other than physical gold and silver in your possession.
If you do not hold it, you do not own it. Remaining entirely within the fiat system means, whether you realize it or not, consenting to ongoing central bank and government abuse.
The K-Shaped Economy and Chosen Winners
Why do we have a K-shaped economy?
Lynette’s answer is simple: money printing.
When central banks flood the system with liquidity, they choose winners and losers. Asset holders benefit first. Wage earners and savers pay the price through inflation.
The divide widens.
But there is a peaceful and powerful way to push back.
Convert fiat currency into tangible assets.
Escape the System with Physical Gold and Silver
Lynette’s message is clear: become as independent and self-sufficient as possible.
That means focusing on:
- Community
- Food
- Water
- Energy
- Security
- Barterability
- Wealth preservation
- Shelter
These are the foundations of a reasonable standard of living during systemic transition.
When one monetary system dies, another is born. Physical gold and silver serve as both a bridge and an anchor during that transition.
They are tangible assets outside the control of central banks. They are universal and recognized globally. And they form the foundation of sound money strategies designed for economic collapse preparation and long-term financial freedom.
Become Your Own Central Banker
Lynette encourages viewers to take their power back quietly and peacefully.
Convert depreciating fiat currency into physical gold and silver that you hold. Surround yourself with people who have complementary skills. Build resilient communities.
Ask the critical questions:
- How much gold and silver do I need to sustain my standard of living?
- How do I protect the fiat wealth I have accumulated?
- How can I position into income-producing assets I cannot outlive?
- How do I leave a sound money legacy for my family?
Sound money strategies level the playing field. They prohibit the distortion of a K-shaped economy. They put the power back into the hands of the people.
And Lynette firmly believes that together, we can do this.
