Debt Fiat System Is In Collapse As Gold Races Higher | Francis Hunt

Debt Fiat System Is In Collapse As Gold Races Higher | Francis Hunt

Liberty and Finance:  9-24-2025

Francis Hunt joins Liberty and Finance to share his latest outlook on gold and silver.

He explains that while both metals remain in a powerful long-term bull market, traders should expect a short-term pause after gold hit his key target near $3,769 and silver broke through the crucial $44 level.

Hunt highlights a massive cup-and-handle breakout in silver, projecting a long-term target of $330, though near-term pullbacks are possible.

He also warns that the global financial system is collapsing under debt and fiat debasement, with the dollar showing signs of temporary strength.

 Ultimately, he stresses stacking physical metals while being prepared for a darker reset involving CBDCs and loss of freedoms.

Schectman: 'Genius... and Diabolical' – The Act That Could Rewrite the Dollar System

Miles Franklin Metals:  9-23-2025

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, about the controversial GENIUS Act and its potential to transform the global financial system.

Schectman and Makori call it “genius… and diabolical” – a Trojan horse that could create synthetic demand for U.S. Treasuries via stablecoins, while quietly laying the groundwork for a new monetary order anchored in gold.

 They also discuss the gold angle, with crypto company Tether, the creator of the world's largest stablecoin, pivoting towards the precious metal.

 In addition, Schectman weighs in on Russia calling out what it calls a U.S. plot to erase $37 trillion debt with crypto reset. In this cut:

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 24 September 2025

Compiled Wed. 24 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset

Judy Note: It is my personal opinion, and I could easily be wrong, that when we hear the EBS go off with the sound of Seven Trumpets, we can soon expect to receive several messages on our cell phones generated from the new Starlink Satellite System.

One of those messages should contain information about how to gain a redemption center appointment for those who have bought foreign currencies in anticipation of the global currency reset.

Those who don’t have foreign currency to exchange will use their appointment to set themselves up for banking, med bed treatment and voting using personal cell phones linked up to the Starlink Satellite System, while we with currency and bonds will do the same, plus be able to do our exchange.

Tues. 23 Sept. 2025: “The leader of the South America group handed a document to the sub group leaders last night Columbia time and gave them 24 hour to sign it and return it. After she receives it, she will start giving them their delivery in 24–48 hours. But Forex has to go with the rate before she hands them their delivery. She’ll pay them in crypto stablecoin in order to avoid double dipping.” …Majeed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jeff Rahm Dates and Events: Notes from Interview September 20th, 2025: September 21st is 22nd in other countries. All dates mentioned will be US time.

9/23 to 9/25 IQD will have new rates. The IQD will be an International Trade able Currency and will be on the Forex. This is the RV everyone has been waiting for. Asset backed banking starts. Trumps speech to the UN will rock the world.

The 23rd is the beginning of the end of the Deepstate. Peace and New Asset backed banking starts.

At the end of September the country will be out of money. Congress will not raise the spending limit. We will have a government shutdown. The US will stop printing money.

This will lead to a financial collapse in 1 to 2 weeks. Expect the crash October 8th to 13th according to economists. Full crash of banking and DOW Oct 13th to 15th. Best guess.

Iraq: US Military is almost out of Iraq. Only a small amount of equipment is left. Sudani must pay the US or he will lose trillions in bonds and will be hung in the streets. He is up for re-election. To pay the US, IRAQ MUST RV before the end of the month. Iraq will join BRICS.

After the financial crash the 10 Days of Communication Darkness will start. This will be around October 13th as a best guess. Lock down for first 3 days. Borders close. Only workers essential for water, power and gas will work, unless the military takes over their jobs.

NESARA/GESARA will be announced. 

Have food, water and cash on hand for this transition. On his last interview, Jeff said he thinks the Stimulus and Tariff Bonus will be given out in October to help everyone get through is financial reset. Bank accounts will go to zero! Accounts will be restored. You will need cash to get through the reset.

About Nov 22nd the new Rainbow Currency will come out.

~~~~~~~~~~

What We Think We Know as of Wed. 24 September 2025:

The Saint Germaine Trust, backed by physical gold and hard assets, was finally being released through the Global Currency Reset. The Trust, which restores wealth to The People, was built to dismantle central banks, end economic slavery and redistribute planetary wealth after the collapse of the old model. The multi-trillion-dollar trust was accumulated and secured over generations to operate outside the fiat debt system.

On the Global Currency Reset: Bond funds have been delivered to paymasters and Bond Redemptions for the upper tiers have been completed. Private appointments are being made right now. All intel was saying that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) will be going in “Next Week.”

Expect $100+ Silver In Q1, 2026 | Michael Oliver

Liberty and Finance:  9-23-2025

Michael Oliver joins Elijah Johnson to discuss silver’s explosive rally as it pushes past $44 while gold tests $3,800.

Oliver argues silver is entering an acceleration phase similar to past bull markets and says $100 silver in early 2026 is realistic.

He explains how silver is undervalued compared to gold, copper, and other metals, calling it a long-term market mistake now correcting.

Oliver also warns of looming risks in the stock market and Bitcoin, suggesting both could face dramatic breakdowns.

He concludes that silver and silver miners are set to outperform, with powerful gains ahead.

Gold Being Revalued as Money again, this Rally is Different

Gold Being Revalued as Money again, this Rally is Different

Commodity Culture:   9-22-2025

Gold. For centuries, it’s been a symbol of wealth, stability, and a trusted hedge against uncertainty.

But what if this current surge in gold prices isn’t just another cyclical climb? What if it signals a fundamental revaluation – a “remonetization” – of the yellow metal in the global financial system?

This intriguing prospect was recently explored in an insightful interview on Commodity Culture, where Jesse Day hosted Stefan Sklepowicz, CEO of Kirkland Lake Discoveries. Stefan laid out a compelling case for why gold’s comeback is far more significant than many realize, and how companies like Kirkland Lake Discoveries are poised to capitalize on this seismic shift.

Stefan emphasizes that today’s gold rally is not merely a typical price surge. It’s a fundamental revaluation driven by a cocktail of powerful macro-economic forces: persistent global inflation, staggering record-high debt levels, and a noticeable erosion of trust in traditional fiat currencies.

In response, central banks worldwide – particularly those outside the Western bloc – are aggressively diversifying their reserves by purchasing gold.

 This isn’t just tactical; it’s a strategic move signaling a “remonetization” of gold. It’s being embraced as a core monetary asset, not just a hedge. Developments like Basel III regulations, which now classify gold as a tier one asset for banks, and efforts by BRICS countries to incorporate gold into trade settlements, further solidify this trend toward gold’s renewed monetary role.

The message is clear: gold’s role in the global financial system is undergoing a profound transformation, and smart investors are looking beyond the headlines to understand the underlying drivers and discover the companies best positioned to benefit.

US Plots Silent Default as Reset Signals Flash

US Plots Silent Default as Reset Signals Flash

Taylor Kenny:  9-22-2025

The financial winds are shifting, and the whispers of an impending storm are growing louder. For years, we’ve watched the US national debt climb to dizzying heights, fueled by unprecedented money printing.

 Now, the conversation isn’t just about if a financial reset is coming, but when and how we can protect ourselves.

A recent insightful video from ITM Trading delves deep into this critical issue, painting a stark picture of the accelerating US debt crisis and the growing likelihood of a financial upheaval that could radically redefine our understanding of wealth.

The core of the problem is simple yet terrifying: the US government’s insatiable appetite for debt, coupled with the relentless operation of the printing presses. This isn’t sustainable.

History shows us that such monetary policies eventually lead to a “reset,” often resembling a hyperinflationary environment where the value of the national currency plummets.

Imagine a scenario where the US dollar’s purchasing power drastically erodes. What then? The video highlights that in such an environment, the price of gold – real money – would surge, reflecting its true value against a devalued fiat currency.

In this volatile landscape, the narrative around stablecoins has gained traction, with some suggesting they could act as an artificial prop for US debt.

 However, the ITM Trading discussion raises a crucial warning: these very stablecoins, often pegged to the US dollar, could be devalued by the government itself. This isn’t an outright default, but a “silent default” – a surreptitious erosion of value that would collapse trust in the financial system and trigger widespread market crashes.

 It’s a reminder that anything reliant on a central authority carries inherent counterparty risk.

Amidst this uncertainty, the solution advocated is clear and timeless: physical gold and silver. This isn’t about speculation; it’s about wealth preservation and securing your financial future when traditional assets may falter.

The video makes a crucial distinction: avoid “gold-backed cryptocurrencies.” While they sound appealing, they carry the same counterparty risks as any other cryptocurrency. You don’t physically own the gold; you own a digital promise, subject to the whims and solvency of the issuing entity.

One of the challenges is instilling sound money principles in younger generations, a task that often requires patience and understanding as these concepts gradually take hold.

Interestingly, it’s not just independent thinkers raising these alarms. The video points to increasing institutional interest in gold, citing Goldman Sachs’ higher allocation recommendations. This signals that even Wall Street’s titans are becoming increasingly aware of the impending monetary risks, adding significant weight to the argument for precious metals.

The message from ITM Trading is one of preparedness, not panic. By understanding the accelerating risks and taking proactive steps to hold real money – physical gold and silver – you can build a robust shield against the coming financial upheaval.

 It’s not about fear; it’s about foresight, and safeguarding your purchasing power for the future.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 22 September 2025

Compiled Mon. 22 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

Recent updates, compiled by sources like Judy Byington, hint at a profound transformation underway – a “Restored Republic via a Global Currency Reset (GCR)” and the emergence of a revolutionary Quantum Financial System (QFS).

For those following these narratives, the anticipation is palpable, with reports from “Texas Snake” suggesting that long-awaited notices could arrive “prior to the end of the month” (September 2025). So, what exactly does this monumental shift entail?

The underlying premise of the GCR movement is a departure from the current fiat money system, which proponents argue has led to rampant inflation, economic bubbles, and a cycle of debt.

Historically, fiat currency, unbacked by tangible assets, granted governments and central banks unchecked power, culminating in crises like 2008. While digital currencies like Bitcoin emerged as alternatives, their volatility and other issues limited their mainstream adoption.

This new vision paints a picture of a “Bretton Woods 3,” where the crumbling system is replaced by a more just and equitable financial structure.

At the heart of this proposed revolution is the Quantum Financial System (QFS). Described as a secure, instant, and transparent alternative to traditional banking, QFS leverages quantum computing to resist fraud and record transfers on a distributed ledger.

The promise? To eliminate bank fees, delays, and third-party intermediaries, replacing them with direct, account-to-account transfers.

A cornerstone of this shift is the return to value-backed currency. The “Global Currency Reset” intends to place all national currencies at parity, making them gold-backed via digital gold certificates.

 Each certificate would be mapped to specific kilos of bullion, ensuring stable currency values independent of commodity price fluctuations.

The USN US Note is presented as a prime example, emerging “like a phoenix from the ashes of a broken financial system,” representing a return to money grounded in real, tangible assets.

The QFS, though not fully activated yet, is envisioned as virtually impenetrable, promising the highest levels of security, transparency, and efficiency, thereby restoring trust in financial systems.

The sentiment among those following these developments is one of profound expectation.

 The “mass awakening” is seen as imminent, with a “decisive turning point” anticipated before September 2025 concludes. Whether these prophecies unfold precisely as described, the narrative undeniably taps into a deep global yearning for a financial system that is not only stable and secure but also just and equitable.

As the financial world braces for what some believe is an inevitable overhaul, staying informed and understanding these alternative perspectives becomes crucial.

Are we truly at the precipice of a new financial era, one backed by gold and powered by quantum technology, promising a “heaven on earth”? The coming weeks and months, according to these reports, may hold the answer.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 21 September 2025

Compiled Sun. 21 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

Are you feeling the deep rumble of unease in the global economy? The headlines might tout “rate cuts” and “Wall Street roars,” but for many of us, it feels like America bleeds, inflation soars, and the very foundation of the middle class is crumbling. The dollar weakens, and the promise of a stable financial future seems more distant than ever.

But what if I told you that beneath the surface of this perceived chaos, a seismic shift is not just on the horizon; it’s actively reshaping our reality? What if the very systems designed to keep us in economic servitude are about to be dismantled, ushering in an era of unprecedented prosperity and freedom for humanity?

As of September 21, 2025, the whispers are growing louder, the signs undeniable. A global reset, long dismissed as conspiracy, is not just coming – it’s here.

Imagine a multi-trillion-dollar fund, backed by physical gold and hard assets, accumulated over generations, and designed for one singular purpose: to liberate humanity from economic slavery. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the Saint Germain Trust, and its legend is about to become our living reality.

For centuries, this colossal financial weapon has been suppressed, hijacked, and smeared as a myth by the very elite who benefited from its concealment – the banks, the IMF, the Vatican, and various intelligence agencies. Why? Because the activation of this trust means their power is gone. Their reign of debt and economic manipulation is over.

This isn’t welfare; it’s restitution. It’s justice in financial form, ensuring that the wealth of our planet serves its people, not just a privileged few.

The era of fiat currency – money backed by nothing but government decree – is drawing to a close.

We’ve seen its devastating consequences: rampant inflation, economic bubbles, and financial crises that erode our savings and trust. While decentralized digital currencies like Bitcoin emerged as an alternative, their volatility and speculative nature couldn’t fully solve the foundational problems.

Enter the USN US Note, a phoenix rising from the ashes of a broken system. This is more than just a new currency; it’s a symbol of financial redemption. The USN US Note is backed by the undeniable value of gold, merging the stability of tangible assets with the cutting-edge innovation of digital finance.

At the heart of this revolution lies the Quantum Financial System (QFS). This advanced network, powered by quantum computing, is virtually impenetrable.

It guarantees unparalleled security, transparency, and efficiency for every single transaction. Gone are the days of manipulation, fraud, and opaque dealings. With QFS, trust is not an option; it’s a built-in feature.

By combining the intrinsic value of gold with the immutable transparency of QFS, the USN US Note offers a future free from the instability and deceit that have plagued our financial lives for generations.

These are not isolated events; they are pieces of a grand puzzle, revealing that the Saint Germain Trust is preparing to activate, and the QFS is ready to transform the world of finance.

This isn’t a fairytale. It’s a financial coup for the people, orchestrated over decades, now reaching its culmination. The Saint Germain Trust isn’t coming; it’s already here, and its activation is a process unfolding now, not a televised event you’ll see on mainstream news.

If you wait for CNN to confirm it, you’ll be among the last to know, and the last to benefit. You were never meant to be free of debt, to own land without burden, or to retire with true dignity. But now you will. Not because “they” gave it to you, but because it was yours all along.

And we are taking it back.

A new era in finance has dawned, bringing with it the promise of a stable, prosperous, and truly equitable future for all. Are you ready to embrace it?

The Truth about Gold & Every Past Global Reset

The Truth about Gold & Every Past Global Reset

Miles Harris:  9-20-2025

Gold and silver are often portrayed as timeless money, neutral, natural, and inevitable.

The story goes that they emerged organically from barter, rising above trade as universal stores of value. But history tells a darker truth. These metals did not evolve naturally at all. They were imposed from above, deliberately woven into economies by states, temples, and ruling classes as instruments of control.

In the first great civilizations, daily commerce was not conducted in coins but in credit, ledgers, and obligations recorded by bureaucracies.

Within this world of paper promises and temple accounts, gold and silver were elevated from ornaments into sanctioned instruments of value.

They allowed rulers to measure wealth, quantify labour, and transform human productivity into a portable foundation of state power.

$10K Gold Revaluation = Massive Inflation | Matthew Piepenburg

$10K Gold Revaluation = Massive Inflation | Matthew Piepenburg

Liberty and Finance:  9-19-2025

Matthew Piepenburg argued that growing discussions around gold revaluation reflect desperation at the highest levels of finance.

 He explained that revaluing gold against the dollar would be an admission that current debt levels and monetary distortions are unsustainable, and that only anchoring to real assets can restore trust.

At the same time, he noted that the push for stablecoins shows policymakers are searching for new ways to maintain control over a failing currency system.

To him, both ideas highlight that the existing fiat model is nearing exhaustion.

 Piepenburg warned that ordinary citizens who hold no gold will be the ones most hurt when the dollar is deliberately weakened in a reset scenario.

The Fed Just Became the World’s #1 Gold Salesman..

The Fed Just Became the World’s #1 Gold Salesman...

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  September 18, 2025

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Federal Reserve announced its decision yesterday to cut interest rates… and kept the door open to further rate cuts in the future.

The funny thing is that we’ll never truly know why.

Sure, it’s possible that Fed officials honestly felt that the economy needs lower rates (despite obviously persistent inflation risks).

Of course, it’s also possible that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell finally caved to all the insults and pressure from the President.

Or that the rest of the FOMC members looked at what’s happening with Lisa Cook and submitted to inevitability, fearing that they too would be investigated for mortgage fraud (or some other criminal matter) if they didn’t cut rates.

Again, we may never know their real motivations. But it’s clear that the White House has gotten its way.

The President and Treasury Secretary believe that lower rates will stimulate the economy, raise wages, raise asset prices, improve housing affordability, and broadly create conditions for economic prosperity… and they’ve been pushing hard for rate cuts.

Lower rates will also help bail out the US government— whose national debt is so gargantuan that the Treasury is set to spend $1.2 trillion this Fiscal Year (which ends on September 30) just to pay interest.

The Trump administration sees lower rates as the key to slashing that annual interest bill.

Of course, a better solution would be to cut spending, bring the budget closer into balance, and reduce America’s debt-to-GDP ratio.

Putting America’s fiscal house in order would also attract investment in US government bonds the old-fashioned way— by restoring confidence that the US Treasury can pay back its debts through growth, strength, and prestige.

But making such cuts is politically difficult. Even the party that claims to be fiscally conservative isn’t really that interested in meaningful spending cuts.

So, they’re going with Plan B-- push the Fed to lower interest rates.

But as we’ve argued before, they’re setting themselves up for disappointment.

Remember what happened last year— between September and December 2024, the Fed cut rates three times for a total of 1%. Yet over that same period, US government bond yields actually INCREASED by 1%.

This proves that the Fed can’t just snap its fingers and force interest rates lower simply by having a committee meeting.

Interest rates are ultimately determined by supply and demand for money. So if they Fed really wants to see lower rates, they’re going to have to intervene directly in the bond market.

They’ve done this many times before-- this is when the Fed ‘prints’ money, i.e. what they call “quantitative easing”. And the most recent example was during the pandemic when the Fed created about $5 trillion of new money.

They used that money to buy government bonds-- essentially creating artificial demand for Treasurys that pushed yields down to record lows.

And life felt pretty good for a while-- people were able to buy homes and finance mortgages at rates lower than 3%. The government was able to sell 10-year debt for less than 0.5%.

But all those trillions of dollars of new money from the Fed came at a consequence: inflation soared to 9%— the highest in decades.

This is the major tradeoff that the Fed is facing right now: the White House wants lower interest rates. And the Fed seems to be capitulating to the pressure.

But for interest rates to get really low (and remain there), the Fed will almost certainly have to engage in more Quantitative Easing… and that means more inflation.

That alone is going to push a lot more capital into the gold market.

For the past few years, foreign governments and central banks have been selling off their US dollar reserves and funneling that money into gold; this has been the primary reason why gold has soared to all-time highs.

And with the Fed’s capitulation on rates, this trend will continue.

It’s also very likely that pension funds, insurance funds, and other long-term institutional investors will seek refuge in gold as well, driving the price even higher.

To be clear, this isn’t a prediction that gold is going to go up every day, or every month, or even every year.

But if you take a longer-term view—say, 8 to 10 years when the US national debt hits $60 trillion and Social Security runs out of funds— the case for owning gold becomes even more compelling.

I don’t hold this view because I’m a “gold bug”. I’m not fanatical about a hunk of metal. But I do understand these long-term trends, and in my view, we’re still in the early innings.

Another option is to buy gold-related companies, which can offer powerful leverage to the metal itself.

Central banks buy physical gold. They do not buy shares of gold companies. That’s why, even as gold surged, many of the companies we researched traded at dirt-cheap valuations—as low as 2-3x earnings in some cases.

But investors are starting to catch on and pay attention to these deeply undervalued businesses; in fact, we’ve seen several companies in our portfolio gain up to 4x, some even just over the last few months.

Given that Q3 earnings are coming up just around the corner, we believe that some of these gold (and related silver and platinum) companies are about to post record earnings and could see their share prices soar even more.

If you’re interested, we publish all of this investment research, including detailed analysis of deeply undervalued gold companies, in our premium service.

Silver Shorts: Blood In The Water | Bill Holter

Silver Shorts: Blood In The Water | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance:  9-17-2025

Bill Holter explains why recent gold and silver price action points to a looming short squeeze and possible failure to deliver in the metals markets.

 He argues that central banks worldwide are shifting from U.S. treasuries to gold and silver as the dollar weakens and global financial war intensifies between East and West.

 Domestically, Holter warns that Americans are living "behind enemy lines" in a divided, manipulated system where self-sufficiency is essential. He stresses preparedness—physically, mentally, spiritually, and through community networks—while noting that urban dependence is a major vulnerability.

 Ultimately, he believes that gold will re-emerge as the core collateral for settlement worldwide as the U.S. financial system deteriorates.

Silver Shortage Alert: Bullion Bank Crisis | Andy Schectman

Silver Shortage Alert: Bullion Bank Crisis | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  9-16-2025

Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, joins Liberty and Finance for a critical weekly market.

 With silver up 43% this year and lease rates in London spiking to record highs, he warns that bullion banks face mounting pressure and potential delivery defaults.

Andy explains how silver’s status as a Giffen good, combined with shrinking liquidity and surging industrial demand, sets the stage for a severe shortage.

He also highlights how gold is massively outperforming equities—even during the AI stock boom—as central banks and insiders quietly accumulate.

Together, Andy and Dunagun Kaiser expose how mainstream media ignores the biggest wealth transfer of our time, leaving most investors dangerously unprepared.
