Inflation and Debt Are Quietly Reshaping the Global Wealth Divide, Says George Gammon

Inflation and Debt Are Quietly Reshaping the Global Wealth Divide, Says George Gammon

Kitco News:  11-1-4-2025

The stock market is hitting record highs, credit markets are flashing warning signs, and economic cracks are widening—yet many investors remain oblivious to the brewing storm.

In a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron of Kitco News, financial analyst George Gammon delved into the precarious state of the global financial system, uncovering troubling parallels to the pre-2008 crisis era.

This alarming financial landscape suggests that while the stock market may be soaring, the foundation underneath is eroding fast.

Gammon highlighted eerie similarities between today’s conditions and those leading up to the 2007 Bear Stearns collapse:

“The biggest risk right now isn’t the Fed—it’s the shadow banking system. When trust in collateral erodes, liquidity vanishes overnight.”

The bottom line? A full-blown 2008-style meltdown isn’t inevitable, but the warning signs are impossible to ignore.

Most importantly, true wealth lies in access to goods and services, not just inflated asset prices. In a crisis, liquidity and tangible assets will matter far more than paper gains.

The financial system is walking a tightrope. While central banks maintain the illusion of stability, the real economy is showing cracks—from failing credit markets to distressed consumers.

The question isn’t if a correction is coming, but how severe it will be.

Investor and macro expert George Gammon warns that “the smart money is running for the exits.”

Beneath record Dow highs, UBS hedge fund liquidations, and 6.65% subprime auto delinquencies signal “this is playing out exactly like the middle of 2007.”

 In this exclusive interview with Jeremy Szafron on Kitco News, Gammon explains that “the plumbing is clogging up” across global credit markets, the Fed has lost control of the monetary system, and why both parties now push “big government socialism.”

He calls the 50-year mortgage “real estate serfdom” and says fiscal populism is turning stimulus into a permanent election tool.

As gold trades above $4,200, Gammon says, “true wealth isn’t about how much gold you have, it’s about access to goods and services.”

Are we witnessing the greatest wealth transfer of our lifetime, and the slow-motion replay of 2008?

In this interview, Gammon discusses:

• Parallels between today’s market and 2007

 • Liquidity risk, counterparty exposure, and the next repo crisis

 • Debt, inflation, and the illusion of wealth

 • Gold above $4,200 and Bitcoin as real purchasing power

 • How fiscal policy became permanent stimulus

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Finance Signals Structural Reset as Institutions Shift Toward Tokenized Systems
New frameworks from the IMF, BIS, and central banks point to an accelerating monetary overhaul.

Overview

• Major financial institutions are signaling that the existing global system is no longer sustainable, citing fragmentation, fiscal stress, and rising sovereign risk.

• The BIS has outlined a next-generation monetary architecture built on tokenized reserves, programmable settlement, and unified ledgers—indicating structural redesign, not incremental reform.

• Central banks continue heavy gold accumulation, positioning tangible assets as stability anchors amid currency uncertainty.

Key Developments

• IMF officials warn of “sudden and sweeping changes” in financial flows as debt loads and geopolitical tensions destabilize traditional coordination.

• Tokenized financial instruments are moving from pilot to pre-deployment, with cross-border settlement platforms now tested by multiple central banks.

• Sovereign debt restructuring frameworks are accelerating, a shift typically seen only in periods of global realignment.

• Dollar dominance shows its first measurable erosion, with new bilateral trade corridors using alternative currencies and settlement rails.

Why It Matters
These developments indicate that global finance is transitioning from a legacy system built on correspondent banking and U.S. dollar hegemony toward a digitized, multi-asset reserve structure. This represents not a policy cycle—but a re-architecture of the financial world.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Monetary Infrastructure Redesign
A move toward tokenized reserves and unified ledgers suggests that the core plumbing of global finance is being rebuilt from the ground up.

Pillar 2: Shifts in Reserve Assets & Sovereign Stability
Central bank gold accumulation and new debt-restructuring tools point to a transition away from debt-driven liquidity toward asset-backed stability.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Geopolitical Realignments Accelerate as Nations Shift Toward New Financial Alliances

Diplomacy is now directly shaping the emerging global monetary system.

Overview

• Diplomatic blocs are reorganizing around financial cooperation rather than ideology, linking trade, currency, and settlement frameworks.

• Major economies are building parallel payment systems, reducing reliance on traditional Western financial rails.

• Peace negotiations increasingly include financial guarantees and reconstruction mechanisms, tying diplomacy to monetary restructuring.

Key Developments

• Bilateral agreements now include digital-currency settlement terms, signaling that foreign policy and monetary policy are merging.

• Regional alliances are prioritizing stability corridors, including energy-for-settlement swaps and guaranteed liquidity lines.

• Global institutions are reframing peacebuilding through financial integration, using economic tools to secure long-term stability.

• Middle-power nations are emerging as key mediators, leveraging new financial systems to gain geopolitical influence.

Why It Matters
Diplomacy is no longer only about territory or security — financial alignment is now the central strategic objective. This shift reflects a world preparing for a multi-system monetary order.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Financial Alliances Replace Old Security Blocs
Nations are choosing economic interoperability over military pacts as their anchor of cooperation.

Pillar 2: Peace Through Economic Integration
Stability is increasingly achieved through shared digital infrastructure and settlement frameworks.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Global Markets Signal Structural Transition as Liquidity and Settlement Systems Evolve
Market behavior is reflecting deep infrastructure change far beyond normal cycles.

Overview

• Market volatility now mirrors structural uncertainty, not just economic data.

• Investors are repositioning around hard assets and tokenized instruments.

• Sovereign bonds are showing new divergence, signaling a repricing of global risk.

Key Developments

• Tokenized government securities are entering pilot issuance, creating new liquidity layers.

• Global equity indices show capital rotation toward infrastructure, commodities, and digital settlement tech.

• Bond markets price rising sovereign fragility, especially across emerging markets.

• A widening gap between physical and derivative markets suggests a revaluation of tangible assets.

Why It Matters
Markets are adjusting not only to economic conditions but to the replacement of legacy financial plumbing — the rails that determine how money moves.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Restructuring of Market Liquidity
Tokenized instruments and new clearing systems are redefining capital flows.

Pillar 2: Real Asset Revaluation
Markets are preparing for an economy where tangible value holds greater weight than debt-based instruments.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Record High Debt = Record High Gold Price

Record High Debt = Record High Gold Price

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  November 11, 2025

Barrick Mining Corporation—one of the world’s largest and most established gold producers—just reported its third quarter earnings yesterday— and it was an absolute blowout.

The company reported third quarter profit of $1.3 billion, nearly triple last year’s Q3 earnings.

And for the first nine months of 2025, Earnings per Share is up a whopping 132% over the same period last year. Free Cash Flow is up an astonishing 176%.

The company further announced that they’re raising the dividend by 25% and expanding the company’s share buyback authorization by an additional $500 million, after already repurchasing $1 billion worth of shares under the prior program.

And what’s perhaps even more striking is that these record profits were based on an average gold price of $3,200. This means that the company’s Q4 earnings (which we’re nearly halfway through) should be MUCH higher given that gold has averaged $4,041 so far this quarter.

Our readers won’t be surprised to hear any of this; we’ve been saying for the past few years that gold was going to go much higher— specifically because foreign governments and central banks have been buying gold by the metric ton to diversify their strategic reserves away from the US dollar.

This trend isn’t going away.

Between the government shutdown fiasco, the rising $38+ trillion US national debt (up $500 BILLION just in the last six weeks), extreme political dysfunction in Congress and the courts, etc., foreign governments and central banks are continuing to literally buy tons of gold, even at record high prices.

We also wrote that gold companies (including miners like Barrick) would benefit substantially from rising gold prices.

So, just as we predicted, Barrick (among other gold miners) is raking in record profits, and its stock price has doubled this year alone— outpacing gains from Oracle, Nvidia, Palantir, and pretty much every major large cap company in the market.

But here’s what’s really amazing— despite such stellar performance, many of these gold companies are still cheap.

Barrick stock, for example, is near its all-time high. Yet the company is still valued at less than NINE times forward earnings— and that’s assuming gold doesn’t go up further from here.

(And even if the gold price tanks, Barrick will still be a profitable, dividend-paying, modestly valued business. Remember, Barrick’s record profits are based on $3,400 gold!)

Smaller gold companies— the ones that we focus on in our premium investment research— are even cheaper.

One of the gold miners we’ve featured is already up 4x this year. Yet it still trades at just 3.5 times forward earnings. The company is extremely shareholder-friendly and has a pristine balance sheet with zero net debt. Oh, and did I mention they pay a substantial dividend?

The gold price could collapse to less than $3,000 and this company would still be wildly profitable.

Could that happen? It’s possible. Even during the 1970s when gold rose from $35 to $850, gold suffered a major pullback in 1975. The pullback was temporary, and gold rose over 8x from there.

That’s because the fundamentals driving gold’s rise during the 1970s hadn’t really changed.

After Richard Nixon formally ended the Bretton Woods system in August 1971, foreign governments and central banks rapidly began selling their US dollars for gold.

As the decade progressed, foreigners became increasingly concerned about US deficits, government dysfunction (Watergate in 1973), global instability, waning US power, and more.

And despite a brief pullback in gold prices, this trend continued until the early 1980s, when the election of Ronald Reagan restored confidence in America’s might and fiscal discipline. It was only at that point that gold prices started to fall.

This same trend is unfolding today, and it’s not hard to understand: the record high US national debt = record high gold price.

Foreign governments and central banks remain deeply concerned about America’s fiscal condition, and gold is one of the few assets available for them to diversify their US dollar holdings.

Just like in the 1970s, we expect this trend to continue until Congress proves that it can act like  grownups and be fiscally responsible.

In the meantime, we anticipate gold— and gold companies— to continue to perform very well. Again, many are posting record profits yet are still insanely undervalued. We do not expect this anomaly to last.

Tishwash: Sudani on the cover of Newsweek: The man who brought Iraq back into the spotlight

The renowned American magazine Newsweek published an exceptional cover in its issue released this week featuring Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, asserting in a headline that “It’s time to shine — the Iraqi Prime Minister has brought Iraq back into the spotlight.”

The selection of Al-Sudani for the cover came after a series of remarkable developments in Iraq recently, most notably the great success in organizing the parliamentary elections, which the magazine described as “among the most smooth and transparent in recent years,” considering that this achievement restored international confidence in Baghdad’s ability to manage its democratic entitlements with high efficiency.

In an extensive report within the issue, Newsweek noted that the political and security developments that accompanied the electoral process coincided with vigorous government efforts to rebuild state institutions and support the national economy, which enabled Iraq to move steadily towards restoring its regional and international role.

The report also addressed Al-Sudani’s vision for promoting stability, improving services, and expanding Iraq’s relations with various countries, considering that this approach “brought Iraq back to the map of global attention after many years of challenges.”  link

************

Tishwash:  The US agrees to sell an advanced communications system to Iraq.  

 The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said that the US State Department has approved a possible sale of a communications repeater system, which is used to enhance communications, nationwide to Iraq for $100 million.

The Pentagon added that the prime contractor for the sale would be L3 Harris Corporation.

A Telecommunication Repeater System is a vital system in telecommunications networks. Its primary function is to receive weak or distorted wireless or wired signals, amplify or renew them, and then retransmit them to increase coverage range and maintain signal quality over long distances.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq participates in the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Budget in Beirut

 Minister of Finance, Taif Sami Mohammed, participated today, Thursday, in the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Current Budget in Beirut from November 12-13.

The ministry said in a statement followed by Al-Masra, “The Minister of Finance, Taif Sami Muhammad, participated in the work of the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Current Budget in Beirut from November 12-13, which discusses the most prominent challenges and financial policies in Arab countries, with the participation of ministers, officials and experts from Arab countries and international and regional organizations.”

She added that “the forum’s activities opened with a ministerial session dedicated to discussing public spending, social sector priorities, and public financial sustainability in the region. The session focused on the importance of directing resources towards social development priorities and reviewed reforms and policies that enhance spending efficiency and support the sustainability of financial frameworks.”

She added that “the session also addressed successful models and practical experiences in improving public spending management, in addition to discussing the challenges facing governments in promoting investment in human development, social protection and basic services.”

She pointed out that “the convening of the forum comes within the efforts to promote dialogue and Arab cooperation in the field of public finance, and to exchange experiences and visions aimed at supporting public financial sustainability and achieving economic and social development in the region.” link

************

Tishwash:  Sudani appoints nine ministers to the new parliament, while four are excluded.

Sudani appoints nine ministers to the new parliament, while four are excluded.

Preliminary results announced by the Independent High Electoral Commission showed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and nine members of his cabinet won, while four other ministers lost despite receiving thousands of votes.

The preliminary results showed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who leads the Reconstruction and Development Coalition and is running in Baghdad, received 92,477 votes.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Tokenization Moves into the Mainstream as International Organization of Securities Commissions Warns of New Risks
Global regulators issue landmark report as tokenized financial assets gain traction.

Overview

• The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published its final report on the tokenization of financial assets, signalling regulatory focus on a rapidly evolving segment. 

• The report highlights legal, infrastructure and systemic-risk challenges, including unclear ownership rights and heightened interconnectedness across platforms. 

• With more institutions experimenting with tokenization of bonds, money markets and other assets, the report underscores the need for updated governance frameworks. 

Key Developments

• Legal uncertainty: Ownership and enforceability of tokenised assets remain ambiguous under many jurisdictions. 

• Infrastructure risks: Increased interconnectedness of token platforms may amplify vulnerabilities already present in traditional markets. 

• Institutional shift: Tokenisation is moving from pilots to production, with benefits such as efficiency, liquidity and access cited by industry participants.

Why It Matters
The advancement of tokenization marks a fundamental transformation in financial markets: assets become programmable, settlement accelerates and access broadens. As regulators raise warnings, the shift poses both opportunity and risk — the architecture of capital markets is being rewired from the ground up.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3 – Market & Capital Flow Reorientation: Tokenization opens new channels for capital flows, fractionalisation and cross-border investing, reshaping how value moves globally.

• Pillar 5 – Infrastructure & Technology: The report emphasises that the next stage of finance relies less on legacy systems and more on blockchain-based settlement, tokens and digital assets.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Monetary Authority of Singapore Launches 2026 Pilot for Tokenised Government Bills, Tightens Stablecoin Rules
Singapore doubles down on digital assets with real-world trials and regulatory clamp-down.

Overview

• The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced a 2026 pilot for tokenised government bills settled using a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC). 

• At the same time, MAS introduced tighter rules around stablecoins as part of its broader digital finance strategy. 

• The dual move highlights the convergence of regulation, innovation and financial infrastructure in one of Asia’s key financial hubs.

Key Developments

• Singapore’s pilot will involve tokenised government securities (T-bills) and settlement in a wholesale CBDC environment, signalling real-world use of programmable finance. 

• Stablecoin rules have been strengthened to ensure investor protection, operational resilience and integration with the broader financial system. 

• Regional banks, fintechs and infrastructure providers are preparing to engage with the pilot, positioning Singapore at the forefront of tokenised asset markets.

Why It Matters
Singapore’s initiative bridges the gap between experimental digital finance and mainstream credit/investment markets. By embedding tokenisation into government-backed instruments and aligning regulation, the city-state is shaping a new model for how finance, technology and sovereignty interlink.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade & Industry: The pilot paves the way for tokenised instruments to become standard in government financing, commercial funding and cross-border settlement.

• Pillar 5 – Infrastructure & Technology: With CBDC settlement and tokenised bills, Singapore’s model points to tomorrow’s global finance infrastructure—programmable, fast, border-aware.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

2 BRICS Members Achieve 100% De-Dollarization, Call It ‘Great Joy’
Kazakhstan and Russia complete full transition to national currency settlements.

Overview

• Russia and Kazakhstan have reached 100% de-dollarization in bilateral trade, officially eliminating the U.S. dollar from cross-border settlements.

• President Vladimir Putin confirmed the milestone during a meeting with Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Moscow, calling it “a great joy” for both economies.

• The achievement underscores BRICS’ broader strategy to establish financial sovereignty and insulate member economies from Western sanctions.

Key Developments

• Bilateral trade between Russia and Kazakhstan, previously 90% de-dollarized earlier this year, has now reached full settlement in ruble and tenge.

• The move follows U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia since 2022, which accelerated the global push to shift away from the dollar.

• Putin noted that joint investment projects total “tens of billions of dollars”, now fully transacted in local currencies.

• The de-dollarization model between these two BRICS partners may serve as a blueprint for other emerging economies seeking monetary independence.

• BRICS financial institutions, including the New Development Bank, are expanding funding in local currencies for climate and infrastructure projects.

Why It Matters
This milestone marks a critical turning point in the de-dollarization campaign that underpins BRICS’ economic strategy. As member nations build parallel financial frameworks, the global dominance of the U.S. dollar faces unprecedented structural challenge—one that could redefine reserve currency dynamics for the decade ahead.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade and Industry: The Russia–Kazakhstan model demonstrates how regional trade networks can thrive without dollar dependency, strengthening multipolar financial systems.

• Pillar 3 – Finance and Monetary Policy: Full de-dollarization signals a transition toward currency blocs, creating new standards for global payment systems and investment flows.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Life Changing Market Crash on the Horizon

Life Changing Market Crash on the Horizon

WTFinance: 11-12-2025

Are you confident your retirement savings are truly safe amidst today’s increasingly unpredictable financial markets?

For investors aged 50 and above, nearing or already in retirement, this question carries unprecedented weight.

The market landscape is shifting, and according to Chris Vermeulen, founder and chief market strategist at The Technical Traders, a major financial reset might be closer than many realize.

In a recent, insightful episode of the WTFinance podcast, Vermeulen delivered a comprehensive analysis, urging investors to stop relying on hope and start building a robust game plan to protect their hard-earned capital.

 His message is clear: preparedness isn’t just wise, it’s essential for navigating what could be a swift, life-changing financial event.

Vermeulen paints a vivid picture of the current stock market, largely propped up by the “Magnificent 7” tech stocks. While these giants have driven much of the recent growth, he warns of “frothy valuations” and a dangerous “herd mentality” that could leave many vulnerable.

This concentrated market strength might feel good on the surface, but it masks underlying fragilities.

So, how do we spot the true signs of an impending downturn? Vermeulen points to the precious metals sector—gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—as a critical barometer.

 Historically, the performance of these metals relative to equities has been a reliable indicator of market tops and forthcoming corrections.

 He draws chilling parallels to the 2007-2008 financial collapse, noting similar price movements in gold leading up to that crisis. This isn’t just about diversification; it’s about paying attention to the market’s own internal warning signals.

A cornerstone of Vermeulen’s philosophy is the importance of discarding unreliable economic data and political rhetoric. Instead, he advocates for focusing purely on “price action and money flow.” The market tells its own story, and by learning to read it, investors can gain a clearer, less biased perspective.

Vermeulen underscores the unique value of holding cash during a market reset. It’s not about missing out on small gains; it’s about preserving your principal and gaining the ultimate flexibility to capitalize when others are in distress.

The episode closes with a powerful message: a major, swift, and potentially life-changing financial event is likely imminent.

 For those nearing or in retirement, protecting your capital isn’t just an option—it’s paramount to your financial future.

 Having a clear, well-rehearsed capital protection strategy will be the deciding factor in whether you merely survive the coming storms or indeed, truly thrive in their aftermath.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Arm yourself with knowledge and a plan.

Jon Dowling: Latest Intel on the Great Wealth Transfer with High Profile Banker Mr B for November 2025

Jon Dowling: Latest Intel on the Great Wealth Transfer with High Profile Banker Mr B for November 2025

11-12-2025

The global economy feels like it’s holding its breath, poised on the edge of monumental change.

 If you’ve been sensing an underlying tension in financial markets, you’re not alone. A recent special report on the Jon Dowling podcast offers an exclusive, deep dive into exactly what’s happening and, more importantly, what’s coming next.

Jon Dowling welcomed back a return guest, the highly respected Mr. B, a financial analyst boasting nearly three decades of experience at Charles Schwab.

Far from a casual chat, this episode delivers a comprehensive, candid, and urgent assessment of current and future economic trends, with a stark focus on an impending financial crash anticipated within the next few months.

Mr. B’s insights are grounded in historical context, current market data, and sobering future projections.

A central pillar of his discussion is the critical importance of gold and silver as a store of value and an indispensable hedge against fiat currency devaluation. For decades, he argues, deliberate misinformation has suppressed the recognition of precious metals as solid, essential investments. This podcast powerfully debunks those myths, underscoring why these ancient assets are set to reclaim their rightful place in a global financial reset.

The conversation outlines a jarring sequence of events: an expected market “meltup” – a final surge fueled by artificial liquidity – followed by a severe and inevitable crash.

Mr. B expertly dissects the roles of central banks and government policies in creating this precarious situation, explaining how the current Keynesian economic system is teetering on the brink, paving the way for new financial paradigms such as NESARA/GESARA.

For those nearing or in retirement, Mr. B offers practical strategies for protecting your nest egg using gold and silver. He provides crucial insights into the timing of these momentous market events, emphasizing the urgency of acting now.

The overarching message is clear: education and preparation are not optional; they are paramount.

 We are standing at the precipice of unprecedented economic shifts, and understanding these trends is the first step toward preserving and growing your wealth through the storm.

Don’t miss out on this vital intelligence. For a complete, unfiltered understanding of the coming financial reset and how to position yourself strategically, watch the full video from Jon Dowling.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Gaza: The Laboratory of Peace Under the Shadow of Power
When “peace” becomes the language of control rather than liberation.

Overview

• The U.S. draft resolution for an international stabilization force in Gaza has reignited debate over the meaning of peace in global politics.

• The proposal, presented to the UN Security Council, emphasizes stability, reconstruction, and civilian protection—but critics warn it entrenches outside dominance.

• Analysts and human rights advocates argue the plan risks replicating earlier international interventions that prioritized control over sovereignty.

Key Developments

• The two-year “International Stabilization Force” proposed by the U.S. could effectively replace local governance with externally managed authority, echoing post-war frameworks like Kosovo and Bosnia.

• The plan grants foreign forces enforcement powers, transforming peacekeeping into direct governance through coercion rather than mediation.

• Economic reconstruction funds would be distributed through Western-aligned committees, raising fears of conditional aid and political leverage.

• Regional voices, particularly Arab states, have been sidelined, weakening local legitimacy and risking diplomatic backlash across the Middle East.

• Humanitarian organizations warn that expanded military mandates without oversight could heighten civilian risk and lead to accountability crises.

Why It Matters
The U.S. draft resolution exposes the widening gap between peace as a principle of justice and peace as a framework of control. When international powers shape the recovery and governance of Gaza without meaningful Palestinian participation, peace becomes an instrument of dominance rather than reconciliation.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Diplomacy and Peace: The Gaza proposal demonstrates how power blocs use “stabilization” as a mechanism for influence, signaling the decline of authentic multilateralism.

• Pillar 4 – Governance and Sovereignty: External peace operations increasingly override local autonomy, reshaping international norms around intervention and statehood.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Putin Ally Issues Nuclear Warning to U.S.: ‘Russia Will Respond’
Escalating nuclear rhetoric underscores fragile global deterrence balance.

Overview

• Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warned that Russia would respond “in kind” if the United States resumes nuclear weapons testing.

• U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have discussed potential test resumption amid concerns over China’s expanding arsenal.

• The statements follow President Donald Trump’s directive to the Pentagon to restart nuclear testing in Nevada, citing parity with other nations.

• Peskov’s remarks mark a potential end to nearly three decades under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1996) framework.

• Russia’s ministries were ordered by President Putin on November 5 to assess feasibility of full-scale tests.

• Experts warn that renewed testing by any major power could trigger a global chain reaction involving China, North Korea, and others.

Why It Matters
The revival of nuclear testing discussions signals erosion of long-standing arms-control norms. A return to testing by the U.S. or Russia would undermine strategic stability, complicate disarmament efforts, and elevate risks within the broader global security architecture—an outcome directly tied to the geopolitical realignment now shaping global power centers.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Diplomacy and Peace: The nuclear standoff highlights the collapse of cooperative security frameworks and the re-emergence of power-based diplomacy.

• Pillar 2 – Global Security Architecture: Renewed nuclear activity would accelerate fragmentation of post-Cold-War treaties, forcing nations to seek new multilateral or regional defense alignments.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Japan’s Takaichi Declares Strategic Maturity as Tokyo Eyes Greater Autonomy
Japan signals a decisive turn toward independent global leadership.

Overview

• Japanese Foreign Minister Sanae Takaichi announced Japan’s readiness to act as a “fully autonomous strategic power,” signaling a pivot away from postwar dependency on the U.S. alliance.

• The declaration coincided with the launch of Japan’s new defense-industrial export framework, allowing Tokyo to supply non-lethal systems to strategic partners.

• The initiative forms part of Japan’s “Global Security Initiative”, aimed at expanding its regional and global diplomatic footprint.

Key Developments

• Takaichi emphasized that Japan will no longer operate as a “junior partner” but as an equal stakeholder in Indo-Pacific security, coordinating directly with India and ASEAN.

• The government approved ¥3.2 trillion in defense export incentives, aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing and innovation.

• Analysts view the policy as Tokyo’s assertion of strategic maturity, laying the groundwork for a broader realignment of Asian power dynamics.

Why It Matters
Japan’s shift from a U.S.-centric security posture to a more autonomous role reflects the broader geopolitical reordering underway. As Washington’s influence wanes in Asia, regional players like Japan are positioning themselves for leadership in the evolving multipolar framework.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Diplomacy and Peace: Japan’s autonomous diplomacy signals diversification of global power centers, diminishing reliance on legacy Western structures.

• Pillar 2 – Trade and Industry: The defense export framework strengthens Japan’s domestic economy and underscores a shift toward industrial sovereignty within global supply chains.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Podcast: These Three Central Banks are SELLING Gold

Podcast: These Three Central Banks are SELLING Gold

Notes From the Field By  James Hickman (Simon Black)  November 12, 2025

We sincerely hope the House of Representatives can pull itself together and get the government back open this week.

Not because we love federal bureaucracy—but because this shutdown is embarrassing, and it continues to chip away at the rapidly declining confidence that foreign governments and central banks have in the United States.

This matters. Foreign governments and central banks collectively own $10+ trillion of US government bonds and other agency securities.

And given how rapidly the national debt is rising, the Treasury Department needs every lender they can get.

Up until recently, foreigners have always happily stocked up on US government bonds— which were traditionally viewed as THE world’s “risk free” asset.

But over the past few years, they’ve seen endless financial chaos and political dysfunction.

They watched Joe Biden shake hands with thin air. They watched the humiliating US withdrawal of Afghanistan. They watched millions of migrants stream across the US border with impunity, then be showered with taxpayer benefits. They watched TWO assassination attempts on a Presidential candidate.

Then, even after last year’s election, they watched the richest guy in the world willingly roll up his sleeves to help eliminate federal waste and cut the deficit— only to get chased out of town by politicians who are addicted to fraudulent spending.

They’ve watched extreme political dysfunction, with two sides who can’t agree on anything... including the most basic task of keeping the government open.

They’ve watched deficits grow and the national debt spiral to $38 trillion. They watched the debt grow by HALF A TRILLION dollars just over the past SIX WEEKS when the government was supposedly closed.

In short, if you were a foreign government or central bank, there’s little chance you would look at Congress and think, “these are serious, responsible people.”

Quite the opposite. In fact you would probably think that it’s time to start cutting your Treasury holdings and back away from the US dollar. After all, the United States Congress doesn’t exactly look “risk free” any longer.

Foreigners understand that a time is coming—sooner rather than later—when the US dollar will no longer be the dominant global reserve currency. Many central banks still hold nearly 100% of their reserves in US dollars. They know they need to diversify.

And we’ve written about this many times before— the #1 asset that they’re purchasing right now is gold.

It’s not because these foreign central bankers and finance ministers are irrational gold bugs. Instead, they understand that gold is nearly the only asset that (1) is universally accepted, (2) carries zero counterparty risk, and (3) has a large enough market to absorb hundreds of billions of dollars in capital flows.

That’s why, from Poland to Ghana to Kazakhstan, central banks have been buying gold in record quantities. It’s not just China.

China is the most desperate. They hold hundreds of billions in US dollar assets as part of their strategic financial reserves, and the Communist Party is extremely concerned—because they see a real possibility that they could be at war with their own borrower in the future.

Only three central banks were selling gold last quarter—and their reasons are easy to understand.

Russia was one—not because they love the dollar. But because they need to fund a war. Frozen out of the global financial system, gold has become almost a medium of exchange for the Russian government.

Singapore was another. Most central banks only buy strategically; they don’t try to turn a profit. Not Singapore. Their financial institutions are filled with sharp traders who would sell high into record trading volume, with the intent to buy gold back at a lower price.

In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Singaporean government picked up more gold during the recent price dip earlier this month.

The third was Uzbekistan, whose central bank already holds about 80% of its total reserves in gold. With gold prices up, the value of their holdings ballooned—so selling some is simply a way to re-balance.

The problem for most countries is that they have too many dollars and not enough gold. Uzbekistan is the lone example of a country with too much gold and not enough dollars. So their gold sales, while unusual, make sense.

We keep talking about this because it truly is one of the most important trends of our time.

The US government's fiscal condition is atrocious. Almost no one in Washington is willing to take it seriously. But foreign governments and central banks are—and that's exactly why they’re buying gold.

That trend won’t reverse unless, miraculously, everyone in Washington starts treating the national debt like the emergency it actually is.

I’m not holding my breath.

That’s why we believe $5,000 to $10,000 gold is a completely valid future scenario—and why mining companies, precious metals producers, and real asset businesses are so well positioned.

We discuss several of these miners in today’s podcast, including Barrick, Newmont, and Franco-Nevada.

And we also highlight some of the overlooked smaller gold companies that, right now, are just absurd bargains.

 PS – We write about this because we’re extremely proud of what we do.

We provide extremely high-quality research, and the results speak for themselves. Four of our precious metals companies are up 3-4x, even after recent pullbacks. Another seven are up 35–150%.

Tishwash:  First official statement from Trump's new envoy regarding the Iraqi elections

We are committed to limiting interference and armed groups

 Mark Savva, the new US envoy, congratulated the Iraqi people on Thursday on the successful completion of parliamentary elections, affirming that the people had once again demonstrated their commitment to freedom, the rule of law, and building strong institutions.

Savva added that the United Nations remains strongly committed to supporting Iraq's autonomy and reform efforts, and to work to reduce foreign interference and the influence of armed groups. link

************

Tishwash:  After winning the elections, Al-Sudani said: "We will consider the interests of everyone, even those who chose to boycott."

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Wednesday that Iraq belongs to everyone and will remain so, noting that the next phase aims to form a new government capable of representing the programs.

In a speech on the occasion of announcing the preliminary election results, Al-Sudani said, "We thank the High Electoral Commission for its efforts to make the electoral process a success, and we also thank the Supreme Religious Authority for its position and guidance."

He added: "We call on everyone to put the country's interest above all else and to respect the will of the voters," noting that "the next stage aims to form a new government capable of representing the programs."

He pointed out that "Reconstruction and Development is open to all parties without exception." ink

************

Tishwash:  Legal expert: The new parliament will not convene before January 9th.

 Professor of Law and Dean of the College of Law at the University of Babylon, Dr. Miri Kazem, confirmed that the new House of Representatives resulting from the recent elections will not be able to convene before (January 9, 2026), which is the date of the end of the current parliamentary session, even if all legal and constitutional procedures are completed.

Dr. Kadhim explained that the parliamentary elections were organized according to a clear legal mechanism, whereby political parties and candidates have the right to appeal the election results within three days of their announcement by the Board of Commissioners, and the Judicial Electoral Commission adjudicates these appeals within a period not exceeding ten days. 

Regarding the constitutional aspect, Kadhim pointed out that Article (54) of the Constitution stipulates that the President of the Republic shall convene the Council within fifteen days of the ratification of the results, with the first session to be chaired by the oldest member. Article (93), however, grants the Federal Supreme Court the authority to ratify the results without specifying a time limit, meaning that the ratification process is not bound by a fixed timeframe. link

************

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani thanks the commission and the religious authority and affirms: Iraq will remain for everyone without exception.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Wednesday that Iraq belongs to everyone and will remain so, noting that the next phase will witness the formation of a new government capable of representing national programs and fulfilling the aspirations of the people.

In a speech on the occasion of the announcement of the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections, Al-Sudani said, “The government thanks the Independent High Electoral Commission for its outstanding efforts to make the electoral process a success,” while also appreciating “the position of the Supreme Religious Authority and its guidance, which has been and continues to be a factor of support and stability for the democratic path in the country.”

The Prime Minister added: “We call on everyone to put the country’s interest above all other considerations, and to respect the will of the voters as expressed in the ballot boxes,” stressing that “the next stage aims to form a new government capable of representing reform programs and orientations.”

Al-Sudani noted that the “Reconstruction and Development Coalition is open to all parties without exception,” stressing the importance of political cooperation and national partnership in shaping the features of the next phase and building a stable and strong Iraq that serves all its citizens. link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Diplomacy Recalibrates as G7 Foreign Ministers Convene Amid Rising Trade & Security Tensions
Overview

• Top diplomats from the G7 and invited partners met in Canada, aiming to coordinate responses to the Russia‑Ukraine War and the Israel‑Hamas Conflict, while trade friction rises with the US. 

• Trade and defence dominate the agenda, with host Canada signalling that allied relationships are being tested by evolving priorities and bilateral pressure. 

• Invited emerging powers attend (Australia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine), indicating a broader coalition approach to security‑trade diplomacy beyond the traditional G7 framework. 

Key Developments

• Security first: The Canadian Foreign Minister emphasised “putting the safety and security of Americans first,” signalling a shift toward national‑centric wording even within alliances. 

• Trade dispute overlay: Amid the discussions on geopolitics, there is underlying tension between the US and its G7 partners over trade and defence spending commitments. 

• Broader invite list: The presence of non‑G7 nations marks a tactical move toward wider multilateralism and highlights the multipolar nature of today’s diplomacy. 

Why It Matters
This meeting signals a reshaping of diplomatic architecture: the traditional G7 bloc is adapting to include emerging powers, aligning trade, security and diplomacy under one umbrella. For the global reset, it marks a step away from Cold‑War style alliances toward flexible coalitions tied to economic and strategic interests.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Geopolitical Realignment: The inclusion of emerging powers in a G7‑hosted security forum indicates shifting power dynamics and a dilution of Western‑exclusive frameworks.

• Pillar 2 — Financial & Trade Integration: The overlap of trade disputes and defence agendas shows that economic policy is now inseparable from strategic alliances, reinforcing the finance‑diplomacy fusion of this reset.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

US Stock Markets Rally as Optimism Grows Over Government Reopening and Fed Outlook
Overview

• Major US equity indexes climbed on optimism that the longest federal government shutdown will soon end and provide clarity on economic data and central‑bank policy.

• Policy watchers highlight that reopening will restore data flow, which in turn will inform the Federal Reserve’s next moves on interest rates and support measures. 

• Broader market sentiment improved, with gains in transport and industrial names signalling investor belief in a rebound from the shutdown‑induced drag. 

Key Developments

• Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 1.2% as investors anticipated the reopening of the economy and better earnings visibility. 

• The shutdown’s impact on data release had clouded the Fed’s visibility into the economy; its resolution is seen as removing a key risk factor. 

• Semiconductor and tech sectors remained volatile, with one major chip‑maker seeing a large stake sold by an investor — a reminder the rally is not without underlying fragility. 

Why It Matters
Markets often lead structural shifts, and this rally underscores how political‑economic mechanics (shutdown, policy clarity) intertwine with global finance. The pivot from disruption to normalization in the US has ripple effects on capital flows, risk pricing and global investor behavior.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3 — Market & Capital Flow Reorientation: A renewed US data regime and clearer Fed guidance will reshape global allocation decisions, reinforcing the reset in how capital flows across borders.

• Pillar 4 — Risk Perception & Safe‑Haven Realignment: As US political risk recedes, investor focus may shift back to structural vulnerabilities elsewhere (emerging markets, supply‑chain stress), altering global risk maps.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Dollar Crisis Is Coming': This Next Move by the Fed Will Blow Up the System

Dollar Crisis Is Coming': This Next Move by the Fed Will Blow Up the System | Giustra & Makori

Miles Franklin Media: 11-12-2025

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Frank Giustra, CEO of Fiore Group and Co-Chair of the International Crisis Group, about what he calls the final phase of the global monetary system.

Giustra warns that one more round of quantitative easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve could break the dollar, trigger a complete dumping of U.S. assets, and force a gold-backed reset of the global financial order.

He explains why the global order is already collapsing, how China’s gold-based settlement system is accelerating the split, and what Americans should prepare for as fiscal cliffs, debt spirals, and hyperinflation risks converge.

In this episode of The Real Story:

One more QE, could spell out the dollar.

The global bond system is broken.

Panic and dumping of U.S. dollars will trigger a gold-anchored reset.

The global order is “dead as a dodo” – echoes of pre-WWI instability.

Giustra’s only solution: buy and hold gold: 10-20% of your portfolio.

The 12 Properties of Money | Hidden Secrets of Value Ep 3 | Alan Hibbard

The 12 Properties of Money | Hidden Secrets of Value Ep 3 | Alan Hibbard

11-11-2025

Welcome to Episode 3!.

Why do gold, silver, and bitcoin endure as stores of value — while currencies, points, and gift cards always fail?

In this episode of Hidden Secrets of Value, Alan Hibbard breaks down the 12 properties that define true money. From portability and durability to divisibility and decentralization, these features explain why some assets preserve wealth across generations while others evaporate into nothing.

In this video, you’ll learn:

The 12 critical features of money — and why fiat currency falls short.

Why arduousness (energy required to create money) is essential for long-term value.

How personal lessons with gift cards and tokens reveal the traps of treating currencies as savings.

The difference between intrinsic value (gold’s physical properties) and extrinsic value (faith in dollars or bitcoin).

Why gold retains value even if demonetized, while bitcoin’s price could fall to zero without demand.

Questions this episode explores:

What qualities make money honest and enduring?

Why do fiat currencies always lose purchasing power over time?

How do gold, silver, and bitcoin compare when tested against all 12 properties of money?

Can intrinsic value act as a “floor” beneath monetary value?

Alan also previews a deeper dive into the physics of money — how concepts like energy, friction, and entropy reveal a unifying principle behind all 12 properties.
