RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 13 April 2025

Possible Timing of Global Currency Reset and Restored Republic: …Mr. Pool on Telegram

On Thurs. 27 March 2025 the Federal Reserve was (allegedly) seized by the Military when their cyber teams took full control of Fed servers, exposing quantum cloaking code used to cover massive currency creation during every “crisis.” No more printing of the fiat Dollar. This wasn’t stimulus. It was digital slavery..

On Fri. 11 April 2025 a silent Tier 1 Operation began to (allegedly) force a Global Currency Revaluation. It was based on the Federal Reserve’s plan to print $9.5 trillion in fiat dollars to buy out global gold, but when they do the dollar will hit zero & gold will (allegedly) shoot to infinity. A financial initiation of $500 trillion in frozen or hidden assets & tariffs will already be (allegedly) moving through the global financial system and will be introduced back into circulation under cover of humanitarian projects. The entire operation will not be known as a reset, but be labeled as “liquidity flow alignment,” “sovereign debt stabilization,” or “post-pandemic optimization.” …JF Kennedy Jr. & Julian Assange on Telegram

Easter Sun. 20 April 2025 Bruce: Upper level paymasters with Wells Fargo and a head over several Redemption Centers said Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could get notified to set exchange/redemption appointments soon, with start of exchanges well underway before Easter Sunday 20 April. DOGE payments will (allegedly) be made directly to your bank account, which should happen before Easter Sunday 20 April.

Global Currency Reset:

Sat. 12 April 2025 The U.S. just(allegedly)  triggered the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the Revaluation (RV), shattering the corrupt system that’s enslaved the world for decades. …JF Kennedy Jr. & Julian Assange on Telegram

Fri. 11 April 2025 a classified Tier 1 operation quietly began. A financial initiation of $500 trillion is now moving through the global system through perfectly timed veils of tariffs.

Trump’s trade war was about taking down the rigged currency game. The U.S. Trade Representative is now (allegedly) enforcing currency revaluations as part of new deals. No more manipulation. No more fake valuations. No more China cheating the dollar.

The Federal Reserve plans to print $9.5 trillion to buy out global gold. But the moment they move, the dollar hits ZERO. Gold will shoot to infinity.

Inside the Tier 1 Blueprint for a Silent $500 Trillion Reset as Global Financial Realignment Is Already in Motion

Over $500 trillion in frozen or hidden assets is now being introduced back into circulation under humanitarian cover. This structure prevents manipulation, bypasses corruption, and protects the mission: 80% of the funds directed toward humanitarian infrastructure, 1% for logistical discretion, and 19% anchored in U.S. Treasury bonds to stabilize the sovereign narrative and avoid inflationary shocks.

Tariffs provide the smokescreen. Governments declare economic wins as hidden financial pathways quietly funnel resources through redemption frameworks unknown to the public.

This operation will never be called a reset. It will be labeled as “liquidity flow alignment,” “sovereign debt stabilization,” or “post-pandemic optimization.” But make no mistake: this is a reverse-engineered correction of economic plunder. The theft of wealth, time, and global potential is being quietly reversed—without ever admitting the theft occurred.

Sat. 12 April 2025 GLOBAL TRADE RESET IGNITES – THE GCR/RV IS LIVE. …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

The storm has arrived, and the reset we’ve been warning about is no longer a theory — it’s underway. The U.S. just triggered the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the Revaluation (RV), shattering the corrupt system that’s enslaved the world for decades.

Trump’s trade war was never about tariffs. It was about taking down the rigged currency game. The U.S. Trade Representative is now enforcing currency revaluations as part of new deals. No more manipulation. No more fakee valuations. No more China cheating the dollar.

And here’s the signal that set the elites on fire — gold just broke $3,200. The dollar? Bleeding. Nations? Scrambling. Global commerce is being rebuilt from the ground up, and WE are the architects.

~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the economic 9-11 of the Deepstate.

Behind the scenes, China is pushing the digital yuan, rolling it out in key cities like Shenzhen and Beijing’s shadow metropolis. Why? Because they know what’s coming. They see the collapse. They’re racing for survival. But they’re too late.

And then comes the nuclear option: The Federal Reserve plans to print $9.5 TRILLION to buy out global gold. They want it all. But the moment they move, the dollar hits ZERO. Gold will shoot to infinity. This is economic warfare, and it ends with the death of fiat.

This isn’t a drill. This is the reset. We told you it was coming. Now it’s here. The world will never be the same.

Mnt Goat   To summarize the status of the RV... If we follow the news and progress in Iraq there is going to come to a point in time when they begin talking more and more about three topics in their news: The Project to Delete the Zeros, the digital dinar and the WTO accession. I am told that when these three issues come up in the news in a short span apart and discussed in detail, we can expect something BIG to occur and my CBI contact informed me she was already told to prepare going back to the committee for the currency change-out to the newer lower denominations, so we know this period of time is closer than we think with the convergence of these three topics in the news.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FRANK:  Hey Sammy I have a question for you...The fact they are coming out with a digital currency to me tells me there is a new exchange rate because 1310 does not even make sense when you try to calculate it digitally.  FIREFLY:  Sammy says for you to consider that if they go digitally it will be related to a fixed rate...so it doesn't have to be raised.  But who would do this on a program rate?   No one would.  No one has.  Going digital will definitely be good for our security and stability.

100% CERTAINTY! Gold's MINIMUM Value Is $12,962 When THIS Happens! - Rick Rule

Financial wisdom:  4-12-2025

In his latest interview, Rick Rule explains why gold is poised for significant growth as a hedge against the declining purchasing power of the US dollar, noting that gold's current market share of only 0.5% of US investment assets could grow to at least 2% (the four-decade mean) or higher.

Rule predicts a five-year boom in gold and silver, suggesting that the price of gold could reach $10,000 as government debt continues to increase by $4 trillion annually with little chance of meaningful spending cuts.

As US Financial System Falls Apart, Russia Begins BRICS Payments Network to Bypass SWIFT

As US Financial System Falls Apart, Russia Begins BRICS Payments Network to Bypass SWIFT

Sean Foo:  4-13-2025

The simmering trade tensions between the United States and China have reached a boiling point, with former President Donald Trump escalating the conflict to a potentially dangerous new level.

 In a move widely seen as retaliation for China’s own retaliatory measures, Trump has proposed a staggering 50% tariff hike on Chinese imports, effectively pushing the total tariff burden to over 100% on some goods. This aggressive move has sent shockwaves through the global economy, raising serious concerns about the imminent eruption of a full-blown global trade war.

For years, Trump has accused China of unfair trade practices, including intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, and dumping of goods at artificially low prices. He initially imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of Chinese imports during his presidency, prompting reciprocal tariffs from Beijing on American goods.

 This tit-for-tat exchange has already disrupted global supply chains, increased costs for consumers, and dampened economic growth.

Now, with the proposed 50% tariff increase, Trump is significantly upping the ante. The impact of such a drastic measure would be far-reaching and could cripple trade relations between the two economic powerhouses.

While the situation appears dire, there is still a possibility of de-escalation. Diplomatic negotiations and a willingness to compromise are crucial to finding a way out of this escalating conflict. Both the US and China need to address their underlying concerns about trade practices and intellectual property rights.

However, Trump’s hardline stance suggests that a swift resolution is unlikely. His supporters argue that a tough approach is necessary to level the playing field and protect American interests. Critics, on the other hand, warn that a trade war would ultimately hurt American businesses and consumers.

The coming months will be critical in determining whether the world is headed for a full-blown global trade war. Trump’s proposed tariff hike represents a significant escalation, and the response from China and the rest of the world will be decisive.

If cooler heads do not prevail, the consequences for the global economy could be severe. The stakes are high, and the world is watching with bated breath.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

NEW YORK LAWMAKER INTRODUCES BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW STATE AGENCIES TO ACCEPT CRYPTO PAYMENTS

A new bill working its way through New York’s legislature would allow residents to pay state agencies with crypto.

New York State Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D-Queens) introduced Assembly Bill A7788 on Thursday, and the potential legislation was referred to the Standing Committee on Governmental Operations.

If passed, the bill would enable all state agencies to enter into agreements with individuals to receive crypto payments for fines, civil penalties, rent, rates, taxes, fees, charges, revenue and/or financial obligations.

Other states have also taken similar steps. In 2022, Colorado became the first state to accept crypto for tax payments, and last September, Louisiana enabled its residents to pay for state services with digital assets. Similar bills have also bubbled up in California and Florida.

Vanel introduced similar bills in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. The lawmaker, who has a long history of supporting crypto-related legislation, also recently introduced Assembly Bill 7716, which would direct the New York State Board of Elections to study and evaluate the use of blockchain technology to protect voter records and election results.

If passed, the bill would require the State Board of Elections to submit a report about blockchain technology to the governor and the legislature within a year of the legislation taking effect.

WHAT HAPPENS IF BRICS DITCHES THE US DOLLAR?

The US dollar is the most important currency in the markets that controls and dominates the world’s financial sector. Almost all cross-border transactions, trade settlements, and foreign exchange conversions are conducted using the USD. Local currencies are far behind with little to no chance of becoming the global reserve currency.

This gives the White House the power to weaponize the currency and control the world’s trade and finances. BRICS has decided to put an end to the US dollar domination by giving local currencies a chance to compete against the greenback.

Here’s What Will Happen If BRICS Ends US Dollar Reliance

The BRICS alliance is scheming to replace the US dollar with either a new currency or their local currencies. The bloc is divided in the prospects but is united to achieve the goal by hook or crook. They also confirmed that despite slow progress, the alliance’s long-term goal is to bring the US dollar down.

America imports the USD to other countries and using it for transactions leads to surplus. However, ending reliance on the greenback will lead to a deficit allowing the economy to face a crisis.

Top 3 US sectors that could decline if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade:

1.  Banking and Finance
2.  Technology and Fintech
3.  International Trade and Investment

These three sectors will be the hardest hit and lose control if BRICS officially ditches the US dollar for trade. All three sectors are closely linked to the American economy and the financial markets as we know it will fall apart.

Turbulence in the banking and investment sector will spill over to other markets eventually bringing the US economy down. It could lead to hyperinflation in the homeland making the costs of daily essentials skyrocket. Consumer spending could decline and eat into revenues of American corporations eventually leading to job losses.

OK— It’s Almost Definitely China Who’s Dumping Treasury Bonds

OK— It’s Almost Definitely China Who’s Dumping Treasury Bonds

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 10, 2025

Yesterday I wrote to you that something very fishy was going on in the bond market. And not just fishy— potentially destructive for the federal government and US economy.

For the past several days, US government bond yields have been surging at a rate not seen since at least 2008. And in some cases not since the early 1980s.

And this is a very, very big deal.

 Higher bond yields not only mean that consumer interest rates (like mortgages) become more expensive. But they also dramatically increase the government’s borrowing costs.

 Bear in mind, the US government is already spending $1.1 trillion per year, just to pay interest on its $36 trillion national debt. That’s 22% of all US tax revenue, i.e. twenty-two cents out of every tax dollar collected go to pay interest on the national debt.

 (Plus another 47c out of every tax dollar go to Social Security and Medicare. And that’s before you get to other mandatory entitlements like Medicaid, food stamps, and more...)

 That annual interest payment is rising quickly; the government has roughly $10 trillion worth of debt this year to either finance, or refinance, which could easily result in hundreds of billions of dollars in additional interest expense each year.

 So higher interest rates are a very big deal for a debt junkie like Uncle Sam.

 That’s why it’s so alarming that bond yields are rising so quickly.

There’s realistically only a few ways this could happen.

 One way that yields might have risen so quickly, which I suggested yesterday, is that big Wall Street firms could have been shorting the Treasury market, causing bond yields to rise.

 Possible, yes. But not super likely.

 Many of those big Wall Street investors might have feared retaliation by the Trump administration. Or that, at a minimum, the President would single them out in social media, creating a lot of complications for their personal lives and businesses.

 But I think we can safely take this possibility off the table; given yesterday’s furious stock rally in which markets surged, any Wall Street firm shorting the bond market would have closed out its short positions and piled back into the stock market.

In other words, the trend of rising bond yields would have ended yesterday afternoon.

But that didn’t happen. Bond yields continued rising and are up again today.

 The US government’s 30-year bond has been especially hard-hit and is up another another few basis points today, notching an astonishing 50-basis point (0.5%) increase in just a few days.

 So with Wall Street busy trading the stock market, that only leaves a handful of possibilities.

It’s also unlikely that big banks (JP Morgan, Citi, etc.) would have dumped their US government bonds, because they have regulatory constraints in terms of what types of assets they are allowed to hold.

 Plus, any major selling of bank-owned Treasury bonds would have resulted in significant increases to bank reserves on the Fed’s balance sheet— and that doesn’t seem to have happened.

 So at this point the most likely culprit is some disgruntled foreign country, whose government or central bank wanted to lash out and punish the US government over the tariffs.

 Two or three days ago that could have been anyone. France. Germany. Japan. Etc.

 But after yesterday’s announcement which paused tariffs for almost the entire planet, there’s only one suspect: China.

After the tariff pause, there wouldn’t be any point for the European Central Bank or German government to sell its Treasury bonds. Why risk Donald Trump’s wrath when a deal is at hand?

China, on the other hand, is stuck with a 100%+ tariff. So they definitely still have an ax to grind.

 The concept of “face” (mianzi) runs very deeply in China; this is the idea that every individual, business, and even the government must uphold a reputation for strength. It would be culturally unthinkable for the Chinese government to accept tariffs without responding aggressively.

Dumping a portion of their vast US Treasury holdings is an easy way to send a message to Washington: “we can hurt you too.”

 If I’m right, it means this trade dispute has now graduated to full-blown economic warfare. And we could see some pretty rapid escalation.

For example, if China keeps dumping its Treasury bonds (and hence raising US interest rates), I wouldn’t be surprised to see the US administration sanction the CCP and Chinese central bank, essentially freezing the bonds that they own and preventing any further sales.

 China could escalate with export controls over vital rare earth minerals, which are essential in the electronics industry.

 Then there’s the possibility that each government could expropriate foreign-owned assets, i.e. US business operations in China, or Chinese investments in the US.

 Then would come the cyberattacks, and more.

 We can hope for cooler heads to prevail. But history is full of examples of how economic warfare can very quickly spiral out of control and escalate into much larger conflicts. And, at the moment, that seems to be the direction that this is heading.

Tishwash:  Beirut is banking on its relations with Baghdad and opening its doors to Iraqi investors.

Lebanese Labor Minister Mohammed Haidar affirmed on Saturday that the relationship between Beirut and Baghdad is solid, noting the Lebanese government's efforts to facilitate the work of Iraqi investors.

The Lebanese Minister of Labor said in a press statement that "the relationship between the new Lebanese government and the Iraqi government is solid and strong, and the fraternal bond between the Lebanese and Iraqis goes back a long history.

 This bond was evident during the Zionist war on Lebanon and the Iraqis' embrace of the Lebanese who were forced to flee to Baghdad." He added that "Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's opinion on developing the relationship with Baghdad expresses the government's direction and the demands of the Lebanese people."

Haidar addressed "the visit of the Director General of Lebanese General Security, Major General Hassan Choucair, to Iraq this week, which aims to enhance communication at the security level and discuss the exchange of services and the import of oil from Iraq," pointing to "positive results that will be built upon in the coming period regarding Iraq's contribution to improving the operation of Lebanese power plants and supplying them with fuel."

He pointed out that "President General Joseph Aoun announced an Arab tour that he will undertake, and that one of his priorities is to visit Iraq, and thus represent Lebanon at the Arab Summit in Baghdad with the participation of an official Lebanese delegation to meet with Iraqi officials there." He indicated that "Iraq's support for Lebanon in establishing security is fundamental, as is helping to expel the Zionist enemy from Lebanese territory, and asking our Arab brothers, specifically the Iraqis, to return to investing in Beirut, so that Lebanon can regain its leading role in the region."

The minister stressed the "continuation of work on the memoranda of understanding signed by the previous government with the Iraqi Ministry of Labor, and the amendment of any amendments that can be made, in coordination with his Iraqi counterpart, Ahmed Al-Asadi, whom he will meet in Egypt next week, and with whom he will address the issue of improving opportunities for Lebanese workers in Iraq and Iraqi workers in Lebanon, and opening up new areas of work."

 He pointed out that "foreign workers in Lebanon only benefit from a portion of the health benefits, but based on the principle of reciprocity, if the ministry finds that a Lebanese worker in Iraq receives comprehensive insurance, the Iraqi worker in Lebanon will be granted comprehensive insurance. This matter is currently under investigation and will be resolved soon."

He stated that "the labor market and the need for foreign workers, including Iraqis, were studied to determine the actual need, and Iraqi workers were informed of the sectors with vacancies so they could employ their expertise. The government is also working to attract Iraqi investors, provide them with full facilities, and initiate investment projects in Lebanon, especially since the period of security instability will soon end."

He pointed out that "the residency requirements for Iraqis in Lebanon are clearly visible on the Lebanese Ministry of Labor's website for anyone wishing to come to Beirut."

He continued: "Projects between Lebanon and Iraq have been delayed due to domestic, regional, and international events, but the government will resume work on them. The primary reason for not reactivating the oil pipeline linking Iraq to Tripoli in northern Lebanon is the need for it to pass through Syria, which has delayed its implementation."

He noted that "there is a trend toward amending the law, hoping to actually achieve this in order to restore projects that serve Lebanon, Iraq, and the region." link

This is the End of the Credit Supercycle, Chaos is Unavoidable

This is the End of the Credit Supercycle, Chaos is Unavoidable

Palisades Gold Radio:  4-10-2025

In a recent interview on Palisades Gold Radio, former Wall Street Analyst, Author, and Substacker John Rubino painted a stark picture of the current economic landscape, cautioning investors about the potential for significant financial turmoil.

Rubino, known for his astute analysis and foresight, joined host Tom to delve into the looming end of a credit supercycle and the multifaceted risks of hyperinflation, deflation, and stagflation inherent in our global fiat currency system.

Rubino’s central thesis revolves around the inherent instability of a system built on debt and fiat currency.

 He argues that the global reliance on credit has reached its breaking point, creating a precarious situation where any combination of economic woes is possible.

This instability, he emphasized, makes holding real assets – gold, silver, and energy – more crucial than ever for weathering the coming storm.

The conversation then turned to the critical role of energy prices, particularly oil, in shaping the inflationary or deflationary winds. Rubino posited that lower oil prices, while seemingly beneficial in the short term, could trigger a deceptive period of deflation.

 However, he warned that this lull would likely be short-lived, as central banks, eager to stimulate the economy, would respond with predictably low interest rates. This, in turn, would reignite inflationary pressures, creating a volatile and uncertain environment demanding careful investment strategies.

The discussion also touched upon the potential impact of President Trump’s policies. Rubino suggested that initiatives such as tariffs and reshoring could inadvertently lead to wage inflation, further complicating the economic picture and potentially exacerbating geopolitical tensions.

Rubino’s analysis pointed towards the inherent risks of negative interest rates and the growing possibility of a currency reset, perhaps even a return to a gold standard.

For investors, this necessitates a shift in focus toward tangible, resilient assets.

He strongly recommends accumulating real assets such as precious metals, energy, and farmland. Specifically, he advises dollar-cost averaging in gold and silver to mitigate risk and capitalize on potential price fluctuations. When considering mining stocks, he suggests focusing on mid-tier companies and explorers with demonstrable growth potential, while always factoring in jurisdictional risks, especially in countries like Mexico.

Beyond investment advice, Rubino emphasized the importance of building personal resilience. He stressed the need for strong community ties, developing valuable skills, and owning productive assets that can generate income or provide sustenance. These, he believes, are crucial for navigating potential societal and economic disruptions.

In conclusion, John Rubino’s sobering analysis highlights the precariousness of the current economic landscape and the urgency for investors to prepare for potential financial chaos. By focusing on real assets, diversifying investments, and building personal resilience, individuals can better position themselves to weather the coming storm and potentially thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Chief Legal Officer of Uniswap Labs Katherine Minarik represented the DeFi industry and the ways decentralized platforms are structured differently than traditional exchanges. Christine Parlour, Finance and Accounting Chair at UC Berkeley, offered academic perspectives on structural changes required to enable regulation to be more effective.

Chelsea Pizzola, Associate General Counsel at Cumberland DRW, and Austin Reid, FalconX Global Head of Revenue and Business, added their legal and institutional trading industry perspectives in the crypto sector.

Hester Peirce reflects on learnings from the first roundtable

Hester Peirce, a Commissioner of the SEC, said that she found the initial roundtable useful in informing her opinion on when crypto assets would be subject to securities laws. She hoped this roundtable would be as fruitful, pointing to the diversity of participants—from national securities exchanges and alternative trading systems to crypto-native companies.

Richard Gabbert, the head of the Crypto Task Force, was supposed to emphasize the importance of investor-centric regulation. The conversation pointed out that existing federal regulations were not written with blockchain and decentralized finance in mind, resulting in mismatches between how crypto markets operate and how they are regulated.

The roundtable also discussed the age-old problem of state-by-state licensing under which crypto exchanges such as Coinbase have to get licensed in all 50 states. Many in the industry are advocating for one SEC license with which they can operate nationwide, which would ease compliance and make operating less cumbersome.

Panelists explained how current rules such as the order protection rule or prohibitions on listing unregistered securities cause issues when attempting to bring tokenized securities into traditional markets.

They also recognized that crypto platforms tend to be different, having custody, clearing, and execution all on the same platform, as opposed to the distinct systems in traditional finance.

In spite of these difficulties, there was a general optimism about the potential of blockchain to transform the way markets operate. From 24/7 trading through smart contracts to enhancing collateral management and settlement of transactions, the roundtable demonstrated that most industry leaders view blockchain as a means to make financial systems more efficient.

The SEC is weighing whether to grant temporary exemptions to spur innovation while longer term rules are being formulated.

In total, the roundtable emphasized that regulators and market participants must work together to develop a framework that benefits both innovation and investor protection.

CRYPTO EXCHANGES LIKE COINBASE MAY SOON GET A REGULATORY SANDBOX TO PLAY IN

SEC leadership floated the possibility Friday of regulatory exemptions that would allow crypto exchanges to experiment with the trading of tokenized securities.

The SEC’s leadership suggested Friday it would be open to establishing a so-called regulatory sandbox for digital assets that would allow crypto exchanges to freely experiment in novel sectors—including, potentially, offering the trade of tokenized securities.

Tokenized securities are versions of traditional securities offerings, like stocks and bonds, that are issued as fungible assets on blockchain networks.

In remarks preceding the agency’s second-ever digital assets roundtable on Friday—this one focused on crypto trading—Republican commissioners floated the idea of issuing exemptions that would soon allow crypto exchanges like Coinbase to dabble in offering tokenized securities alongside crypto products.

“I encourage market participants that are developing new ways to trade securities using blockchain technology to provide input on where exemptive relief may be appropriate,” Acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda said in a pre-recorded video statement.

Uyeda specified that a “time-limited, conditional exemptive relief framework” could offer unregistered crypto exchanges the freedom to innovate in areas like tokenized securities before rules and laws are written on the subject.

Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the agency’s new crypto task force, echoed that sentiment in live remarks at the SEC’s Washington headquarters Friday—endorsing the potential value of an exemptive relief framework for crypto exchanges.

“Participating firms could see what works and what doesn’t, technically and commercially,” she said. “Such trials could inform the Commission’s rulemaking efforts.”

Last year, Peirce endorsed the concept of a “digital securities sandbox” that would have allowed American crypto firms to join British ones in experimenting with “the issuance, trading, and settlement of securities.” Given that crypto-skeptical SEC chair Gary Gensler controlled the Commission at the time, the idea did not get far.

Is China Dumping US Government Bonds?

Is China Dumping US Government Bonds?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  April 9, 2025

You probably saw the headline this morning that China is retaliating against US tariffs with an 84% tariff of its own.   This trade war is obviously far from over… which probably means that financial markets are in for a lot more volatility.   Most people focus on the stock market. And that has obviously been a wild ride.   But what’s happening in the bond market right now is actually a much bigger deal.

 Remember that US government bonds have been considered a “safe haven” asset for decades. And that was the case, very briefly, late last week. Investors dumped stocks and then parked all that cash in the bond market.

 As a result, demand for bonds surged, and yields plummeted to as low as 3.8%.

 But that sentiment has very, very suddenly reversed. And in a matter of days, US government bond yields have spiked.

 The 30-year Treasury yield, for example, is normally quite stable and moves very slowly. But its very sudden surge over the past three days has been its quickest increase in more than 40 years. The 10-year Treasury yield has also surged at its fastest clip since the 2008 financial crisis.

 This sudden rise in Treasury yields-- what’s supposed to be a very safe and boring asset class-- is a very big deal.

 For consumers, it almost certainly means higher interest rates; many consumer loans, including 30-year mortgages, are based on US government bond yields.

 So higher yields means that it will be more expensive to borrow.

 And that’s especially true for the federal government. Remember, the Treasury Department has to refinance more than $8 trillion worth of US government bonds just between now and the end of the year.

 Plus, on top of that $8 trillion, they’ll probably issue at least another $2 trillion in new debt just to finance the deficit.

 So higher interest rates are an absolute killer and will cost the government hundreds of billions of dollars more per year, just to pay interest on the national debt.

 Why is this happening, i.e. why are yields increasing so quickly?

 Well, about the only thing that can cause yields to rise so quickly is a major supply and demand imbalance, i.e. too many investors are selling their bonds, and not enough investors are willing to buy them.

 And this could easily result from someone (or multiple parties) deliberately dumping their bonds and flooding the market.

Who might do such a thing?

 Well, perhaps some of the big Wall Street firms-- many of which have already expressed anger and dissatisfaction over the tariff policy. And some of them might simply not want to own US government bonds anymore.

 Remember, it wasn’t that long ago (September 2022) that then-British Prime Minister Liz Truss unveiled her economic plan. It was a pro-business, pro-market plan that involved tax cuts and more.

 But bond investors were concerned that Ms. Truss’s plan would result in a significant deficit. So they dumped their British government bonds (known as gilts). Bond yields skyrocketed, and the British pound went into freefall.

 It’s possible the same ‘bond vigilante’ mentality might be at work here.

 It’s also possible that some disgruntled foreign country could be divorcing themselves from the US dollar. Maybe it’s a supposed ally, like France. But it could just as easily be China (which owns more than $1 trillion of US Treasury securities).

 If true, the havoc that China can wreak by dumping their Treasury bonds and causing an interest rate spike in the US will substantially exceed any economic damage from their 84% retaliatory tariff.

 Perhaps it’s all of the above-- multiple countries AND bond vigilantes together.

 Who knows. But if this trend continues and US government bond yields keep rising, that pressure could be enough to get the President to back down.

 One thing’s for sure: gold is going higher. No surprise there; after an initial sell-off in which investors sold everything, gold has been surging back to its record highs.

 Most likely this is because foreign governments and central banks have resumed their buying in an effort to distance themselves from the US dollar.

 The interesting part about this is that gold companies are now also going higher.

 We have been talking about this for months. And months. We said that gold is at an all-time high, yet gold miners and related businesses were dirt cheap. We also said that bizarre anomaly won’t last.

 Well, it appears that investors have finally woken up to the new reality, and gold companies are now finally moving much higher.

 No matter what happens from here, it’s becoming more and more clear that there will definitely be a major reset in the global financial system (and gold may be a part of that).

 In fairness, it’s also worth pointing out that there may be a grand strategy here by the Trump administration. We’ll discuss this more soon but suffice it to say they’re obviously making a huge gamble with the future of the US economy.

Gold… New record high in US dollar terms. Welcome to the era of gold.

Are we getting closer to a Bretton Woods moment? We very well could be.

Read: GOLD TELEGRAPH

THE FORT KNOX QUESTION: PRELUDE TO A NEW SYSTEM?

 In 1944, the world's most powerful leaders gathered in Bretton Woods to discuss the future and write the rules of a new global monetary order. There's one critical detail many forget... The United States controlled the lion's share of the world's gold, granting it the power to influence the outcome and define the system itself.

Fast forward to today: • The President of the United States is calling for an audit of the gold held in Fort Knox.

The current Treasury Secretary? • He says he has been called gold bug throughout his career. With the trade war now in full swing, change is certainly in the air.

According to a top economic adviser to the U.S. President, more than 50 countries have approached the United States to begin trade talks. Are we getting closer to a Bretton Woods moment? We very well could be.

 The U.S. Treasury Secretary previously said: "We will need a grand global economic reordering, and I'd like to be a part of it. I've studied this." Last week, Scott Bessent explained in an interview with @TuckerCarlson   why gold remains so interesting and also pointed out that the entire global trading system was once anchored to gold until Nixon took the U.S. off the standard.

The world is shifting. Quietly, but unmistakably. Nations are accumulating gold, questioning old alliances, and preparing for a future no longer tethered to the previous rules.

What once seemed unshakable is now under review, from Fort Knox to the foundations of international trade. We've seen this before. Power consolidates, confidence erodes, and a new system emerges, often born not in the spotlight but behind closed doors.

The question now isn't if we're approaching another Bretton Woods moment. The question is:  Who will define it this time?

Bank of France chief and ECB policymaker says the United States policies have eroded the confidence in the dollar. Big.

From last week:  GOLD TELEGRAPH

THE EROSION OF TRUST: THE TIMES ARE CHANGING.

 For years, I have exposed the dangers of the West's growing reliance on sanctions and the blatant weaponization of the financial system, freezing sovereign reserves and eroding global trust.

These are not acts of diplomacy but signals of a crumbling world order. How can countries NOT unite in an environment like this to seek alternatives?

 In just one year, the US dollar has lost over 35% of its purchasing power against gold, driven largely by central banks aggressively stockpiling bullion. This is no longer a trend; it's a warning shot.

All this is unfolding as BRICS nations grow more unified, and fractures deepen among Western allies. The global balance isn't just shifting; it's unravelling.

Many people were surprised yesterday when Japan, South Korea, and China signalled they would JOINTLY respond to the United States tariffs. Who are the two biggest owners of US treasuries among countries?

1. Japan

 2. China

Members across Europe are voicing their unease with this current economic flexing environment. Nations are racing to secure critical minerals, not just for supply chains but for sovereignty.

As many are beginning to realize, true sovereignty starts with one thing: zero counterparty risk.

That path leads straight to gold.

The world is waking up to the fragility of the fiat monetary system. I never said it would be pretty.

Janet Yellen says the United States trade war is the worst self-inflicted wound in history. But she leaves out something crucial… The weaponization of the Western financial system, including the freezing of sovereign reserves under her watch, helped ignite the global reset.

Never forget: As Secretary Janet Yellen is asked about her concerns over the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency… The Treasury Department sign falls off. The universe sometimes has a way to make us all laugh.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1910411041495998793

This prediction is starting to look good. I will admit, it’s taken longer than I would have liked.

Five years ago: GOLD TELEGRAPH

I have very high conviction gold bugs are going to finally have the last laugh in the next 1 - 5 years. The last bubble will be the gold bubble... and it’s going to be because of the transfer from the sovereign bond market into physical gold and miners. Going to be epic.

8:16 PM · Dec 16, 2020

The mainstream is staring at their screens, baffled. Good. Gold is tearing through years of swallowing the lies, and spitting back truth.

Treasury yields have gone vertical. Right now? Gold is following… This is not a drill. The U.S. has a historic opportunity to help restore monetary integrity.

Where to start? By issuing a gold-backed Treasury instrument. The clock is ticking… @judyshel

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Afternoon 4-11-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

CHINA IMPOSES NEW TARIFFS, BLAMES US FOR GLOBAL TENSIONS

China has responded sharply to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff hike, calling the United States a “joke” and imposing retaliatory tariffs of its own, as European Union leaders prepare an unusual visit to Beijing amid growing global trade tensions.

Xi Criticizes Trade Isolation

China responded forcefully on Friday to a dramatic tariff increase by the United States, announcing a 125% tariff on American goods and calling the U.S. approach to trade “economic bullying,” the Times of India reports. The move came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump raised duties on Chinese imports to 145%, a decision that Beijing said violated international trade rules.

In a statement, China’s commerce ministry accused Washington of turning the tariff dispute into a “numbers game,” stating that such actions lacked economic rationale and only served to undermine U.S. credibility. “The successive imposition of excessively high tariffs on China by the U.S. has become nothing more than a numbers game,” a ministry spokesperson said. “It merely further exposes the U.S. practice of weaponizing tariffs… turning itself into a joke.”

China Imposes New Tariffs, Blames US for Global Tensions

The Times of India report explains that the new tariffs will take effect on Saturday, according to China’s State Council Tariff Commission. The Chinese government emphasized that the action was defensive in nature and framed it as a necessary response to what it called “completely unilateral” moves by the U.S.

On Truth Social, Trump proclaimed, “We are doing really well on our TARIFF POLICY. Very exciting for America, and the World!!! It is moving along quickly.” During the interval when he temporarily halted certain global tariffs, he added that China remained in the crosshairs “based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets.”

The Times of India further noted that President Xi Jinping also weighed in, saying China is not intimidated by external pressure. Speaking with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Xi declared, “There are no winners in a trade war, and going against the world will only lead to self-isolation.”

European Union Officials Reportedly Set to Visit Xi in July, Yuan Weakens

As the standoff escalates, Bloomberg and the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that top European Union officials are reportedly preparing a rare mid-year visit to Beijing for talks with Xi. 

Citing five unnamed sources, the SCMP disclosed that the visit could take place in late July, breaking with tradition that typically sees the Chinese delegation travel to Europe.

The move signals the EU’s interest in aligning more closely with China on trade, especially as it faces potential fallout from the U.S.’s aggressive tariff strategy. Xi has urged European partners to unite in resisting what he called “unilateral bullying.”

Meanwhile, China filed two complaints with the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge the legality of the U.S. tariffs, while Xi prepares for diplomatic visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia in a bid to strengthen regional alliances amid mounting tensions.

As of April 11, 2025, the Chinese yuan (CNY) has exhibited a modest recovery in its valuation against the U.S. dollar. Just two days prior, on Wednesday, April 9, the yuan slipped to depths not seen in over 17 years, settling at 7.3498 per dollar—its weakest close since Dec. 2007.

In parallel, the DYX Dollar Index on Friday registered a three-year low against a composite of major fiat currencies, touching 99.314 in the early trading session.

XRP SET TO EXPLODE? RIPPLE AND SEC FILE JOINT REQUEST

XRP shot up almost 3% in the past 24 hours after Ripple and the SEC submitted a joint filing for a 60-day pause to their appeals and cross-appeals.

▪️Ripple and SEC pause legal battle, signaling a near-final settlement that could reshape crypto regulation.

▪️XRP trades near critical resistance at $2.10, with RSI and Bollinger Bands hinting at an imminent breakout.

▪️The SEC withdrew its appeal in March against Ripple Labs, sparking settlement rumors.

American fintech firm Ripple and its cryptocurrency XRP are once again the center of attention in both legal and market circles amid a notable development in the legal battle against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.02, up 2.83% on the day, with technical indicators hinting at a potential trend reversal, as per CoinMarketCap data.

Legal Clarity in Sight: A 60-Day Pause Toward Settlement

Ripple and the SEC have jointly filed a motion to place their respective appeals and cross-appeals in a 60-day temporary suspension, suggesting both parties are edging closer to a settlement.

According to the filing, the pause will give them time to finalize an agreement-in-principle that could resolve the lawsuit completely, pending approval from the SEC.

This marks a crucial development in the landmark case that began in late 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting unregistered securities sales via XRP.

The case has held major implications for how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the United States.

A changing political climate, sparked by the election of President Trump, appears to have softened the SEC’s stance on crypto overall.

In recent months, the regulator has dropped lawsuits against other major crypto firms such as Coinbase and Kraken.

Last month, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC had already withdrawn its appeal against the ruling that said the firm’s programmatic XRP sales didn’t violate securities laws.

Ripple, in turn, has decided not to pursue its cross-appeal.

With both sides easing up and aiming to conserve resources, the groundwork is laid for a negotiated conclusion to one of crypto’s most closely watched legal sagas.

XRP Price Analysis

From a technical standpoint, XRP is currently navigating a critical juncture. The daily chart reveals that the price is hovering just below the 20-day EMA at $2.10, a key resistance level.

A clean break above this could catalyze further upside momentum.

The Bollinger Bands are tightening, with the upper band at $2.50 and the lower band at $1.77, indicating a period of volatility compression.

This often precedes a breakout, though the direction remains uncertain. A move above $2.10 with strong volume could see XRP test the upper band around $2.50, while a rejection could drag it back toward the lower band near $1.77.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 44.61, with its moving average at 39.76, still in neutral territory but edging upward.

This suggests that momentum is gradually building after a prolonged cooldown phase. If RSI crosses above 50, it could signal a bullish shift in sentiment.
