Debt Crisis, Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Debt Crisis, Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Taylor Kenny:  4-9-2025

While the news cycle whirls with political dramas and fleeting headlines, a more profound, and potentially alarming, story is unfolding in the financial markets: the soaring price of gold.

This isn’t just a typical commodity price fluctuation; some experts argue that gold’s rise serves as a stark warning sign of a deeper, more systemic problem brewing beneath the surface – a crippling debt crisis threatening to destabilize the U.S. economy.

The core issue, as highlighted by financial analysts like Taylor Kenney on ITM Trading, is the staggering $36 trillion U.S. national debt. This monumental figure, largely ignored in main stream media, is rapidly spiraling out of control.

Even seasoned financial veterans are admitting that we’re navigating uncharted waters, with traditional economic models struggling to offer clear solutions or predict the long-term consequences.

Historically, gold has served as a safe-haven asset, a store of value sought after during times of economic uncertainty and currency devaluation. When investors lose faith in traditional assets like stocks and bonds, particularly those backed by debt-ridden governments, they often flock to gold, driving up its price.

The current gold rally suggests growing anxiety about the stability of the dollar and the ability of the U.S. government to manage its burgeoning debt.

Adding fuel to the fire is the increasing trend of central banks around the world diversifying their reserves, moving away from the U.S. dollar and towards other assets, including gold.

 This de-dollarization trend, if sustained, could further weaken the dollar’s global dominance and exacerbate the existing debt crisis. Central banks, typically conservative and meticulous in their investment strategies, aren’t known for making rash decisions.

Their shift towards gold suggests a pragmatic assessment of the increasingly precarious global economic landscape.

Ignoring the warning signs flashing in the gold market could be a costly mistake. While the future is uncertain, understanding the underlying issues and taking proactive steps to protect your wealth is crucial for navigating these turbulent economic times.

The soaring price of gold isn’t just a number; it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that prudence and informed decision-making are paramount in safeguarding your financial future in an increasingly volatile world.

The Mar-a-Lago Accords are coming—and they could change everything.

We're on the verge of a massive global monetary reset, and this time, it's all about gold and silver.

Will the U.S. return to a gold-backed dollar?

Could gold skyrocket to $12,000 per ounce?

And is silver the most undervalued asset in the world right now?

In this powerful breakdown, we connect history, policy, and market signals to uncover what’s really going on behind the scenes.

 From Nixon’s exit from the gold standard to today’s emerging monetary crisis, this is not just speculation—it’s a call to prepare.

What you'll learn:

Why gold is poised for a monumental revaluation

How silver could outperform gold by 5x to 10x

What the Fed’s own balance sheet reveals about the current system

How global elites may be front-running the next monetary regime

Why now may be the last window for average investors to act

Don’t ignore the signs. The most important financial shift of our generation is already underway.

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning Mark, Mods and RVers

Member: What good RV news have you heard Mark????

Member: Anything from Bond holders???

MZ: bond contacts have gone very quiet.  As of this morning I am still hearing crickets from the bond side. I think this is great news. They were expecting dollars. My biggest bond holders told me afterward I was just going to go to voicemail so they did not get into trouble.

MZ: Group contacts are moving to set up for disbursement.

MZ: Yesterday on the banking side we saw a lot of rates populating and changing on nearly every currency we are looking at- throughout the afternoon. This is a first. This is exciting.

Member: It sounds like we are just waiting for notifications to come out if bond holders are on nda's.

MZ: That is exactly what I was thinking.

Member: Everyone is going silent in the tg rooms! Daily chats being shut down. Seems very close! Silence is golden

Member: Could we get to go this week?

MZ: I think we may see bonds wrapping up this week. If so then 3 to 7 days later we see currencies go….that is what I think.

Member: If your bond folks are under nda ….maybe we’re at the point of going in 3 - 7 days??. Fingers crossed

Member: Didn’t Mike Bara said he saw rates of the dong at $2.12?

Member: I would be ecstatic with a rate of 1 to 1

MZ: I am still guessing it will be at the $2-$2.25 range.

Member: I've held at 3.50 IQD and 2.25 dong …that way no disappointment

Member: I’ll be happy if we actually ever get our notifications. What I ever I get on rates is more than I had before.

Member: I think we're all going to be shocked with the rates. I don't care what the rates are going to be. They're going to be great!

Member: Vietnam has found quite a bit of gold. Might that help the value?

MZ: In Iraq: “Al Rafadain is activating the comprehensive banking system in 57 branches”  this is an add-on to the ever expanding digital banking system in Iraq.this is one of the pillars of the reforms to lift the purchasing power of the dinar.

MZ: “Positive indicators to diversify sources of income away from oil” they want to diversify their economy for agriculture ect….more than just oil.

Member: Can’t they diversify after the RV…sigh

MZ: I believe they need to point out all the stability there to justify the rate change.

Member: The US Embassy in Baghdad confirmed on Wednesday that it had signed multibillion-dollar agreements with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, through American companies.

MZ: Huge deals were cut yesterday through US and Iraqi businesses

Member: MarkZ, if Iraq is signing contracts with US electric contractors to update their grid system at the current rate of $0.0008, why would Iraq RV? Wouldn't it cost them more money if they did?

MZ: They base them in US dollars for these contractors. They rarely base foreign contractors in IQD. If it’s a Australian contractor they base them on Australian currency….If it’s a US contractor its based on USD…..ect.

Member: On FOX News last night, they were openly talking about a reset!

Member: Mark, as you said last night POTUS has mentioned currency revalue often. He may be pushing us closer to parody even before the RV to make parody much easier after?

Member: It feels like everything is lining up for something big . RV , stablecoin regs , tariffs creating a level playing field.

Member: We are living through history. folks will be talking about this in hundreds thousands of years in the future. they might even reference our comments

Member: Feels like everything is lining up for Easter long weekend.

Member: Just thinking if Easter is our timeline than next week takes us there and even adds a 3day weekend.

Member: Thanks to all. Everyone enjoy your day and stay positive.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 10 April 2025

Compiled Thurs. 10 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

What We Think We Know as of Thurs. 10 April 2025:

Wed. 9 April 2025: The U.S. Debt Clock just crossed the line — and something unprecedented has happened. Income tax? Gone. Corporate tax? Gone. Federal Reserve remittances? Zeroed out. …QFS on Telegram

This isn’t a glitch. This isn’t a coding error. This is a deliberate signal, embedded within one of the most iconic public financial dashboards in America. While headlines focus on distractions, a quiet transformation is already in motion — a dismantling of the old system right before our eyes.

These missing figures are not simply redacted values. They are symbols — markers of a seismic shift. The disappearance of key fiscal indicators on the Debt Clock reveals the unraveling of a debt-fueled illusion that has propped up the global economy for decades. We are not witnessing a standard downturn. This is a controlled demolition of the fiat system, designed not to collapse everything into chaos, but to usher in a replacement — one that’s already being assembled in the shadows.

For years, the U.S. government has operated on borrowed time, printing money with no intention of balancing the books. National debt has surpassed $34 trillion, and interest payments alone now rival military spending. But instead of warning signs, we are shown silence — or worse, erased data. The message is subtle, but unmistakable: the numbers no longer matter, because the system they represented is being retired. Behind the curtain, a new architecture is emerging, engineered by central banks, global technocrats, and digital overlords — all under the guise of modernization.

And what replaces the old? Look closely. A shift is underway — away from income tax and corporate levies, toward a model powered by tariffs and controlled trade. President Trump’s vision for economic sovereignty aligns with this: eliminate punitive taxes on citizens and domestic producers, and place the fiscal burden on foreign imports.

This isn’t just policy — it’s strategy. A return to national strength through fair trade, resource control, and internal production. But don’t be deceived. As this vision gains ground, those in power are adapting — not resisting. They are preparing their version of the “reset” — a digital prison cloaked in convenience.

Hard assets are being hoarded. Gold, silver, farmland, minerals, and energy infrastructure are vanishing into private hands. At the same time, tokenized currencies and programmable money are being tested by institutions. The plan? Replace the collapsing dollar with digital credits, “backed” by elite-owned resources. You won’t hold the gold. You won’t own the land. You’ll receive conditional access — credits that expire, tracked and limited by behavior. Freedom will become a privilege. Privacy a memory.

This was never about errors or incompetence. It was always about control. The global financial order was designed to centralize wealth, suppress independence, and manufacture dependence. Now, with the illusion nearing its end, a new phase begins — one masked in progress, but built on subjugation. The question is no longer whether the reset is real. It’s whether you’re prepared to meet it on your feet or fall into it asleep.

Stay alert. Stay sovereign. The clock isn’t broken. It’s speaking.

Militia Man  I can't tell you it's going to happen tonight, tomorrow or the next but...they told you they've launched the new banking sector reforms at an international level, they're communicating with local and international.   They're talking about digital currencies...cross-border payments, making things more efficient...Iraq's new digital dinar is going  to be a part of that system.  Alaq keeps talking about digital currencies.  He's a central banker.  He knows what the central banks  know.  Like it or not things are changing.     

Mnt Goat   I have to say that the pace of change and reform for the U.S. is overflowing now into Iraq as the new U.S. leadership takes shape on foreign policy...It is now almost indescribable my feelings as to what is going on in Iraq and all the  wonderful changes happening that we prayed so hard for and so long.

Stock Volatility Will Lead To Derivative Meltdown | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance:  4-9-2025

Bill Holter discusses the current financial volatility, emphasizing the growing risks of a systemic collapse. He warns that the global financial system is vulnerable, particularly with the massive volume of derivatives—over $2 quadrillion—which far exceeds the size of the financial system itself.

Holter predicts that if a major derivatives player defaults (such as a systemically important bank or brokerage house), it could trigger a cascade of failures, ultimately leading to a "derivative meltdown."

 This could wipe out assets, and Holter suggests that the best way to safeguard wealth is by owning physical gold or silver, as they cannot be bankrupt.

He highlights that these metals, especially in physical form, will retain value when the broader financial system fails, offering a secure store of wealth in uncertain times.

Tishwash:  US official: We have huge opportunities in Iraq

The Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that "his country's companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period," stressing that "there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq."

A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.

In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, "The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them."

He added, "The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department."

Lutz noted that "this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners."  link

Tishwash:  Despite Tariffs, US brings largest Trade Delegation to Iraq

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani received a delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, including American investors and corporate executives, accompanied by the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq.

The meeting focused on strengthening economic ties and promoting Iraq as an attractive destination for foreign investment.

The Prime Minister outlined steps taken by the Iraqi government to facilitate business entry, noting the country's broad and diverse market, legal reforms, and investment incentives. He emphasised Iraq's stability, skilled labour force, and ongoing development across various sectors.

According to a statement from the US Embassy, almost 60 U.S. companies are part of the delegation, aiming to. "strengthen U.S.-Iraq private sector ties and foster fair and balanced trade between the U.S. and Iraq."

The U.S. Chamber and the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce earlier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to "strengthen ties between the US and Iraqi private sectors." It added: "This partnership will foster long-term economic collaboration."

Last week, the US imposed additional tariffs of 39 percent on imports from Iraq (excluding oil).

Full statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister:

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani Welcomes a Delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani welcomed today, Wednesday, a large delegation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which included a number of corporate executives and American investors, in the presence of the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq.

The Prime Minister reviewed the facilitations and measures taken by the government to support the entry of businesspeople and companies into the Iraqi market, which now holds numerous promising opportunities. He noted that Iraq offers a broad and diversified market for various goods, products, and services.

Prime Minister Al-Sudani emphasized that the Iraqi people have made significant achievements in defeating terrorism and laying the foundations for national development. He stressed the importance of maintaining and strengthening bilateral relations with the United States, particularly since Iraq today stands as a distinguished democratic model in the region.

Key highlights from the Prime Minister's remarks:

Due to the war in the 1980s, the sanctions in the 1990s, and the fight against terrorism over the past two decades, development in Iraq has been delayed across all sectors.

Iraq is a fertile ground for investment opportunities in all fields.

The country today enjoys political, security, societal, and economic stability, and is witnessing an unprecedented development boom.

Iraq has a skilled labor force and promising expertise across various fields.

The government has worked to improve the business environment and made serious efforts to reform laws to facilitate company registration and operations.

Iraq's investment law offers numerous incentives to investors, and the government is working on a legislative package to further encourage foreign investment.

Iraq's trade balance is not in deficit, but structural reforms are needed to reduce reliance on oil.

Iraq is an industrial and agricultural nation and represents the shortest commercial route between East and West, connecting to Europe through Türkiye.

The Development Road Project will become the shortest and most cost-effective economic corridor linking Asia and Europe.

Iraq possesses untapped mineral wealth and ranks first globally in sulfur reserves and second in phosphate reserves.

Iraq produces 4 million barrels of oil per day, but flares associated gas while simultaneously importing gas to power electricity stations.

The government has set a vision for strategic projects and signed contracts with international companies to stop gas flaring by early 2028.

Iraq ranks among the top ten countries in the world in natural gas reserves.

Some portray a negative image of Iraq, which is not only unfair but also inaccurate.

Iraq has welcomed numerous investment companies to carry out projects in energy, housing, industry, and agriculture, with the total value of investment licenses reaching $88 billion.

Sovereign guarantees have been granted to the private sector to support the implementation of projects in various sectors.  link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Cooperation between Fiscal and Monetary Policies Ensures Sustainable Economic Stability

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained on Wednesday the mechanism for closing and financing the budget deficit. He noted that the state's general budget is based on an oil price of $70 to counter market fluctuations. He emphasized that cooperation between fiscal and monetary policies ensures sustainable economic stability.

 Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Since the federal state budget was enacted under Law No. 13 of 2023, amended (the three-year budget for 2023, 2024, and 2025), it has been based on conservative oil prices to counter oil market fluctuations.

This includes adopting a price of $70 per barrel of crude oil, an export capacity of 3.4 million barrels of oil per day, and an annual spending ceiling of approximately 200 trillion dinars, with a planned deficit of approximately 64 trillion dinars."

He explained that "the planned deficit, if realized, turns into an actual deficit, financed (according to the degree of deficit) from domestic sources and a small number of committed external sources, depending on actual need, particularly for financing development projects."

He added that "the domestic sources of deficit financing are loans provided by the government banking system, often to finance the general budget when a deficit occurs, as a bridge loan. With the exception of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, nothing has occurred that requires significant borrowing, except for less than 6% of the total planned annual balance to date."

He pointed out that "there is close and precise cooperation between fiscal and monetary policies, and they are proceeding closely together to build sustainable financial stability in our country to confront any shock of a sudden drop in global oil prices and its repercussions on financing the state's general budget."

He continued: "This is in order to maintain spending related to securing salaries, wages, pensions, social care, the basic services program, and support for farmers, all of which are constants in spending in the 2025 fiscal year, while proceeding with basic service projects (education, health, sewage networks, electricity, water, and roads)." link

 The President of the American Chamber of Commerce: The Treasury Department will play a role in developing the Iraqi economy.

4/9/2025

The Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, confirmed on Wednesday that the Treasury Department will play a role in developing the Iraqi economy. Meanwhile, the head of the Iraqi Economic Council stated that the country is much better off economically today than in previous years.

"Our visit to Iraq is the largest visit by businessmen from various sectors from the United States of America," Lotus said during a press conference attended by a Shafaq News Agency correspondent.

He added, " Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is working to establish partnerships between Iraqi and American companies to develop Iraq's industrial and economic sectors."

He continued, "The US Treasury and the US Chamber of Commerce represent the joint efforts of Iraq and America to develop the economy and to have a joint role between us."

For his part, Ibrahim al-Baghdadi, head of the Iraqi Economic Council, emphasized during the conference that "the recent years following liberation have unfortunately witnessed a significant decline in education in Iraq. However, I hope that it will develop again with the presence of the American University, to save education, and this is considered a lifeline for Iraq."

He stressed that " we cannot forget the role of the United States in liberating Iraq from dictatorship, and that the United States is the world's leading nation in various fields and is the one who has the credit for Iraq after its liberation."

He pointed out that " the visit of the American delegation, consisting of more than 100 individuals and more than 60 American companies, is evidence of the progress made in relations to develop the Iraqi economy," adding that "two days ago, we launched the Private Sector Development Council, headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, the First Vice President, the Minister of Planning, and the Second Vice President."

He explained that "Iraq today is better than it was decades ago, and we welcome any company that wants to work in Iraq to develop the Iraqi industry and economy."   LINK

And that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.

Frank26:  "BANKING REFORM IS THE MONETARY REFORM FOR AN EXCHANGE RATE".....F26

Al-Nusairi confirms that the comprehensive banking reform project announced by the Central Bank will yield promising results.

4/9/2025- Baghdad

Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that the banking reform project announced by the Central Bank is consistent with the methodology included and adopted in the government program and the Central Bank's third strategy for the years 2023 and 202

. It will yield promising results in cooperation with global consulting firms Ernst & Young, K2, and Oliver Wyman to build a transparent information base for comprehensive reform, starting with the banking sector as the first essential link in the economy. Without a sound, solid, and modern banking sector, a strong and robust national economy cannot be built.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that among the important initial results achieved is the commencement of the completion of the actual implementation of the plans drawn up during 2025 and 2026 for comprehensive reform, which are summarized in enhancing financial inclusion and achieving stimulating and sustainable returns for shareholders and investors, and the government and the Central Bank leading projects aimed at modernizing the private banking sector and meeting the needs of the transition to a rapidly growing national economy, creating a fair competitive environment in the banking market, and raising the level of private banks’ ability to confront risks and protect depositors and creditors, thus restoring confidence in the banking sector in general, as well as expanding digital transformation procedures, expanding and diversifying banking services and products, and complying with international standards.

Al-Nusairi pointed out that the above objectives, which were discussed yesterday at the Banking Reform Conference, are established as primary and secondary objectives in the Central Bank's third strategy for the years 2024-2026, and that work is being done on them with a steady, systematic approach, and that the objectives will be achieved in cooperation with Oliver and Wyman at an accelerated pace in the years 2025 and 2026.

It is clear that the Central Bank, in cooperation with relevant authorities, will focus on the following: sharing with the private banking sector detailed criteria and timelines for implementing the reform process, activating support channels, and holding workshops to provide technical assistance.

The Central Bank of Iraq is fully committed to achieving this transformation by working closely with all relevant stakeholders to pave the way for a strong, resilient, modern, and inclusive financial and banking system.   LINK

China is Dedollarizing, China Launches $1.2 Trillion Digital Yuan System, Bypasses Western SWIFT

China is Dedollarizing, China Launches $1.2 Trillion Digital Yuan System, Bypasses Western SWIFT

Lena Petrova:  4-8-2025

Recent developments suggest China is making a concerted effort to lessen its reliance on the US dollar, and a key piece of this strategy is the rollout of its digital Yuan system.

With a reported $1.2 trillion investment, this sophisticated platform aims to offer an alternative to the Western-dominated SWIFT financial messaging system, potentially reshaping the global financial landscape.

For years, the dominance of the US dollar in international trade and finance has been a subject of debate. China, the world’s second-largest economy, has long expressed concerns about the potential vulnerabilities and geopolitical leverage that such a system affords the United States.

The digital Yuan represents a significant step towards creating a parallel financial infrastructure that could, over time, challenge the dollar’s hegemony.

The digital Yuan, or e-CNY, is a central bank digital currency (CBDC) issued and controlled by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which are decentralized, the e-CNY operates under a centralized authority, allowing the PBOC to maintain strict control over its issuance and circulation.

China’s launch of its digital Yuan system marks a significant step towards de-dollarization and a potential reshaping of the global financial order. While the dollar’s dominance remains firmly entrenched, the e-CNY offers a glimpse into a future where alternative financial systems compete for prominence.

The success of this endeavor will depend on a complex interplay of economic, political, and technological factors, and its impact will be felt across the world. As the digital Yuan evolves and its adoption spreads, the global financial landscape will undoubtedly be transformed.

Ariel: Iraq Mandate, Red Line Crossed

4-8-2025

The Red Line Has Been Crossed

Iraq Mandate

They issued new cards for international use will be activated 30 days after issuance.

The Implementation Date: The rules take effect on April 8, 2025 with periodic reviews planned.

Which presumably means they plan to have all these cards activated on an international level within 30 days.

They also stated on an official basis that for Foreign Currency for Travelers: Cards will be available at the official Central Bank rate via the e-governance system.

They know this is the only way to get on Donald Trump’s good side. Because he said today that the only way he will make a deal with these countries is if it benefits the American people.

Otherwise he does not want to entertain anyone not looking to enhance the livelihoods of the US workers.

Do you all know how historical this is?

These people will walk away from the negotiations table signing deals that have you as the 1st priority.

But in order to do so these countries will have to gix their exchange rate system. And you already know what that means.

Majeed:  Crude oil price today is $58.44 Iraqi oil is $59.78 It dropped below the red line target which was $65 ………..it is time to RV

More RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 9 April 2025

Compiled Wed. 9 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Tues. 8 April 2025: BOOOOM! Trump’s Tariffs IGNITE Global Financial MELTDOWN — Markets COLLAPSING, Elites PANICKING, and GOLD SKYROCKETING… This Was ALWAYS the Plan …QFS on Telegram

The war has begun — not with bullets, but with gold, tariffs, and the destruction of a system built to enslave. On April 2, 2025, President Donald J. Trump dropped the hammer: a 10% universal import tariff on every product entering the U.S., with China hit at 34%, the corrupt EU at 20%, and Vietnam slammed with 46%. This isn’t trade policy — this is a full-scale economic war against the globalist parasite network that hollowed out America.

While the media screams over a 14% drop in the S&P and a 19% Nasdaq crash, they’re ignoring the real story: Trump is bleeding out the old fiat system to birth something new. The temporary market panic is a calculated reset — a controlled collapse designed to drain the swamp’s economic engine and redirect America’s wealth back into the hands of the people.

And behind it all? Gold. For months, Trump’s military-aligned network has been quietly reclaiming stolen U.S. gold — recovered from underground vaults, foreign banks, and offshore accounts controlled by the cabal. That gold wasn’t for elites. It was seized, purified, and moved into the new Patriot Gold Reserve — built for the American people.

Now, the fiat dollar is being exposed as a fraud. Inflation projections under the old system hit 2.2%, but Trump flipped the board. He’s allowing the dollar to weaken just enough to cripple the illusion — while elevating gold to become the backbone of the new economy. And it’s working.

As of April 7, 2025 — gold is skyrocketing. This isn’t market reaction. It’s military precision. Trump has already re-linked America to a silent gold standard. It’s happening — right now.

Even more shocking: patriots are buying gold directly from Trump’s reserve. Real Americans — not bankers — are now holding gold once hidden by globalist hands. Every ounce sold weakens the old system and strengthens the new one. This isn’t redistribution. It’s retaliation. It’s justice.

Dozens of nations are now begging for deals. The EU is bluffing with threats. They’re panicked. Trump holds the leverage. He has the energy. He has the market. And now, he has the gold.

Everything was leading to this — the takedown of the Fed, the resurrection of energy, the silent purges, , the revival of U.S. manufacturing. It was all part of the blueprint. And now we’re here.

Trump has consolidated power — not for himself, but for the people. The tariffs aren’t hurting us. They’re suffocating the beast. Wall Street’s screams are the death rattle of a system that fed on debt, suffering, and control. That system is dying.

Gold is rising — and with it, a new Quantum Financial System is emerging. Real assets. Real sovereignty. Real freedom. The illusion is ending. The matrix is breaking. Trump unplugged America from their digital leash.

For the first time in generations, we stand on our own. No foreign bankers. No globalist masters. No puppet strings.

This is what MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN looks like: Tariffs that cut off foreign control. Gold that breaks the chains. A president who never surrendered. A people finally set free.

The old world is burning. And America is rising from the ashes.

~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 8 April 2025 BOOM!!! THIS IS HUGE! PRESIDENT TRUMP WASN’T JOKING… HE’S CALLED FOR CONGRESS TO ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX! …QFS on Telegram

President Trump has officially called on Congress to abolish the federal income tax — and this time, it’s not a campaign line. It’s a declaration of economic war against the system that’s robbed American workers for over a century.

“We don’t need to tax our people to death,” Trump said. “We need to tax the countries that take advantage of us.” With that, he laid the foundation for a bold transformation: eliminating income tax, restoring tariffs, and ending financial slavery imposed by globalist policy. This isn’t just a tax plan. It’s a direct strike against the Deepstate’s economic grip on the American people.

Before 1913, America operated without a federal income tax — and it thrived. For over four decades, the country saw explosive growth, rising wages, and massive industrial expansion. The government was funded by tariffs, not by draining the paychecks of hardworking citizens.

 That system built railroads, steel empires, and a middle class that didn’t need handouts or digital surveillance to survive. It was only with the 16th Amendment that the door opened for IRS overreach, centralized power, and bureaucratic control. Now, Trump is calling for a return — not to the past, but to the principle: sovereignty through strength, not submission through taxation.

Trump’s plan is simple, powerful, and historically proven. Shift the burden from Americans to foreign nations affecting our market. Tariff their goods, protect our industries, and use the revenue to run the country — just like we did before. It’s already working.

With strategic tariffs and controlled trade, the U.S. can generate enough to fund infrastructure, defense, and economic renewal without ever touching a citizen’s paycheck. And the fear in Washington proves it. They’re terrified not because it’s impossible — but because it ends their control. The income tax isn’t just revenue. It’s leverage. And Trump just threatened to take it away.

This is bigger than policy. It’s a philosophical reset — the true Great Economic Reset. Not Klaus Schwab’s digital prison, but an America-first model where freedom is earned, not rationed. The IRS loses power. The people gain it. The globalist playbook gets erased, and a new era begins — one where government serves, not rules.

Trump’s move isn’t reckless. It’s revolutionary. And it signals the end of tax-based tyranny and the rise of a system rooted in national strength, individual liberty, and unstoppable prosperity. The storm is not just political. It’s financial. And it’s here.

Larry Lepard: The Fiat System Is Failing - Gold Exploding Is the Alarm Bell | Part I

Wealthion:  4-7-2025

Larry Lepard: Gold Stocks Are Set to Explode | The Big Print & Asymmetric Bets | Part II

4-8-2025

In Part II of our in-depth interview with renowned investor Lawrence Lepard, Trey Reik continues the conversation to explore why Larry believes gold stocks are poised for explosive upside, and why a looming sovereign debt crisis will force central banks back into money printing, an event he calls “The Big Print.” In this episode:

The mining companies Larry believes could deliver asymmetric returns

How he structures his portfolio across producers, developers, and drillers

The valuation disconnect between gold prices and mining equities, and the key metrics he uses for valuing them

Why silver miners may offer even more leverage and upside than gold miners

Larry’s take on geopolitical risk, and why he sees overlooked opportunity in regions like Africa

Whether rising tariffs could trigger the next global market event

Later, Brett Rentmeester of Windrock Wealth joins the conversation to reflect on Larry’s interview, offering a portfolio manager’s view on the role of physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin in protecting capital in today’s fragile macro environment. Brett also discusses why gold miners have lagged the metal itself, and whether that disconnect is about to change.

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ. 04/09/2025

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning…..we are now halfway through the week……

Member: RV there yet? I feel we're VERY close . Does anyone else feel it?

Member: Mark! with bonds moving what seems like slowly, what are we waiting on? Is there something that still has to happen for 4B to go?

MZ: There is nothing I can think of…except releasing it. It appears to me that they have done everything. But yes…bonds are moving more slowly than we expected. I was told since this was taking so long…some counterfeit bonds were printed in China perhaps……but they are verifying bonds again to make sure only legitimate ones can be redeemed. I am certain this has caused some issues.

Member: Will we see the RV before Easter?

MZ: Things are definitely picking up speed. Is it before Easter….we just don’t know.

MZ: Both of my bond contacts that had appointments yesterday …I try to call or text and it goes straight to voice mail….doesn’t even ring. They had late meetings in a different time zone so it may simply be that they are resting……we shall see.

Member: I believe NDAs are now enforced MarkZ... Guaranteed sir.

Member: Silence is golden.

Member: What kind of bonds were your bond contacts holding Mark?

MZ: Some super Petchellis, some German war bonds, and many of the dragon bonds.

Member: Hey Mark—if they did get paid yesterday, what would that make our timeline look like??

Member: Mark said recently that we shoud go 3-7 days after bonds get paid.

Member: bond contacts don’t seem very reliable.

MZ: They are very reliable. They are telling me exactly what they are being told….whenever they can. They also have been warned recently about “leaks” and have to be careful.  They do not want to risk losing all their funds by talking.  Would you????

MZ: “Iraq faces oil market volatility with well thought out economic plan”  they want us to know that yes, oil is fluctuating…but, they are prepared with stocked up reserves and it will balance out. This is a great one.

Member: there are rumors the lower denominations have been distributed in Iraq.

MZ: I cannot prove that. I have contacts in Baghdad and the northern region but there is no evidence I can find that this has occurred.

Member: Bruce said 2500 traunches of $50B were released into the system for payout….

MZ: We do have money positioned in the system…just not released yet…..The news this week has been fantastic…..but I am trying to temper my excitement.

Member: many gurus think this will happen this week

MZ: Yes many do believe it will happen this week. Its possible it could happen this week…but based on the bond side…if my bond contacts who had appointments last night got dollars….I would get excited…..it would most likely happen on the weekend if that is the case.

Member: Mark do you think the public will go at the same time as us? We have always been told ours, is a private event.

MZ: Yes…but the public is not going to know it. We are like a private group because it will be announced to us very quietly through dinar sites and intel providers…..there will not be a big ad on TV for everyone in the public to go search their sock drawers to go exchange currency.  

Member: will the RV show up on the forex first?

MZ: I think  we will get our notices first…before it shows up on the forex….imo. At least that is how the last few have happened.

Member: I am still waiting for audits to be done with the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and Ft. Knox to happen……putting our RV money in a broken system isn’t logical.

Member: Maybe that is already happening ….behind the scenes and quietly.

Member: IRS chief said to be resigning.

Member: It seems very quiet right now and I compare this if my Great Grandchildren are this quiet they are up to something and all hell about to happen.

Member: I am praying your “BIG” bond contacts were paid yesterday Mark! This will be a great ending to our week!

Member: maybe RV will happen on Easter cause Trump always mentions Easter is going to be a great day 4/20

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods…..everyone have a wonderful day

Tishwash:  Tomorrow... Iraqi and American Chambers of Commerce Sign Contract to Regulate Private Sector Operations

The head of the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce, Abdul Razzaq al-Zuhairi, announced today, Tuesday, the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector tomorrow, Wednesday. He explained that the government has included regulating the private sector in its program.

In a statement to Al-Iraqiya News Agency, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Zuhairi said, "Tomorrow will witness the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector."

He explained that "American companies are distinguished by greater flexibility and capabilities, and they have extensive experience working with countries around the world. In addition, Americans have everything they need to work in Iraq, especially in the field of industry."

He pointed out that "the banking base in Iraq has become large and global, and it is possible for us to work within it." He explained that "the agreement signed yesterday, in addition to the agreement to be signed tomorrow, includes regulating work in the Iraqi and American private sectors." He emphasized that "the government has included in its program the regulation of the private sector and supports many areas, especially loans and the purchase of machinery and equipment," noting that "despite the difficult circumstances we faced, the results were positive on the ground."

Al-Zuhairi also referred to "addressing taxes, customs, the companies law, and the agency law," indicating that "there is a package that the government sent to Parliament for a vote, which is the most important package."

He explained that "the work of the private sector requires continuous updating, as there are new systems, laws, and new programs that change from time to time. Land acquisition was previously under the agrarian reform law, as was the energy issue, and many other issues have been finalized."

He explained that "what the government has done over the past period has been exceptional," expressing his hope that "support for the private sector will continue in order to attract the largest number of international companies and employ the workforce."  link

Tishwash:  US Energy Secretary: I will visit the Middle East this week to promote investment in the United States.

 US Energy Secretary Chris Wright will begin a two-week tour of three Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

This trip, which will also include Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, is expected to pave the way for President Donald Trump's visit to those countries, likely in mid-May.

"I will be visiting the Middle East this week to promote investment in America," Wright wrote on his personal X account on Tuesday.

Looking forward to visiting the Middle East this week and promoting investment in America! https://t.co/qbj0ghIeoj

— Secretary Chris Wright (@SecretaryWright) April 8, 2025

 A source at the Ministry of Energy said that Wright will begin his trip in the United Arab Emirates, followed by Saudi Arabia over the weekend, and then Qatar, and will also meet with leaders of several countries. The source added that Wright will likely hold talks on ensuring abundant global oil supplies outside of countries whose oil exports are subject to US sanctions, including Iran, Venezuela, and Russia.

Discussions will also focus on the three countries' investments in the United States, after the UAE last month committed to a $1.4 trillion, 10-year investment framework in artificial intelligence, semiconductor, energy, and manufacturing infrastructure.

The source said that Wright will visit oil and gas production sites in the Middle East, looking for ways to reduce costs. He added that he will also visit a nuclear power plant in the UAE.  link

Tishwash:  How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

For the last three years Iraq has enjoyed relative stability, good oil prices and a growing economy. For those who invested in the Iraqi stock market, returns of over 100% are common and GDP in 2025 is estimated to be up to 5%.

Oil and Gas sales has driven this expansion, but other factors such as sovereign wealth funds are now encouraged by the GOI's stability to invest, such as the Saudis with their Public investment fund, the Qataris ( both government and private sector, and the Gulf states, have driven around $3.5bn investment into infrastructure, housing and the development road initiative, in addition to Iraqis investing in consumer real estate such as cafes and housing  all feeding off economic and political confidence. The government has also pledged up to $400bn of investment into development, infrastructure and the Al Fawr port complex and the new $15bn trade deal with UK for cyber, telco and defence support.

At IBBCs Baghdad conference in February, over 350 business delegates flocked to hear the leading minsters or oil, communications, foreign affairs and key advisors to the Prime Minister, expand on opportunities in Iraq, where the atmosphere was palpably enthusiastic to participate in the new Iraq economy.

Beyond Infrastructure we also see expansion in Schooling and Universities, in more diverse services such as travel, tech and professional services like law and banking. Collaboration with international companies and countries is key to Iraq's evolution, as new skills and technologies are coming into the country, driven by international confidence in Iraq. Iraq needs a more skilled workforce to enable engineering and business expansion, and companies like Unihouse and Mselect are supporting these skills.

Indeed, IBBCs membership mix reflects this diversification, modernisation and internationalisation of the economy: private schools, training and skills companies, tech and media companies, high end added value design, and the establishment of Agritech and marine sector companies bringing expertise into the country like DPD, AL Zaman Group(Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd ) Gold Sponsors, and CJ-ICM.

At our Spring Conference at the Mansion House on June 3rd we will showcase the leaders in these new sectors and explain why they are now investing and establishing in Iraq.

You will also meet the best of British expertise, through the sagacity of Lord Howell on energy, Lord Green on banking, Professor Frank Gunter with his report on Iraq Entrepreneurs, and from Iraq the minister of Transport, who will outline the significant infrastructure opportunities, as well as other Iraqi officials soon to be confirmed. Underpinning UK investment the UKEF CEO, Tim Reid, will present how companies can access the £billions in UK trade guarantees, Jon Wilks CMG ( former Ambassador) will articulate his much anticipated geo political insights and dynamics especially with an election looming and developments in Syria, Iran and the Middle East

The IFC on investment initiatives led by Hogan Lovells (Gold sponsor) and with TBI (Gold Sponsor), and key IBBC companies in energy, finance , maritime, agritech, tech and education will be evident on stage.

For those wanting more interactive discussion there are roundtables on Entrepreneurship, Growth, Transport (with Sardar, Gold Sponsors), Education and a special Tourism and heritage panel and exhibition. On 2nd June will be a special networking reception at the Mansion house for delegates, and the Tech forum online - covering how AI and Tech support the services sector- including its use in education, investment and Pharma.

To view the latest speaker, line up and to register, please go to this link on IBBCs website.

While the worlds stock markets are in turmoil, for once, Iraq presents a beacon of economic and social stability as it takes the long march towards modernity and diversification of its economy. Come and hear how this is happening and meet the people who are making it happen. Register here for the IBBC Mansion House conference.

Gold sponsors include: Trade bank of Iraq, Sardar Group and Al Zaman Group (Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd), Hogan Lovells International LLP  link

DEBT CRISIS: Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Taylor Kenny:  4-8-2025

Gold isn’t just rising—it’s warning us. While the media obsesses over headlines and politics, the real story is buried in the numbers: a $36 trillion U.S. debt crisis that’s spiraling out of control.

Even veteran experts admit—we’re in uncharted territory.

In this video, Taylor Kenney breaks down what gold is signaling, why central banks are dumping dollars, and how you can protect your wealth before it’s too late.
