Gold Surges Past $4000, Silver Nearly Touches $50 | Chris Vermeulen

Gold Tops $4K as World Prepares to Go off Dollar Standard

Gold Tops $4K as World Prepares to Go off Dollar Standard

Peter Schiff:  10-8-2025

The financial world recently crossed a staggering, unprecedented milestone: gold surged past $4,000 per ounce.

While mainstream financial media often tries to rationalize such movements away as temporary volatility or irrational exuberance, economist and outspoken investment strategist Peter Schiff argues that this surge is the clearest, most urgent warning signal yet—a screaming indicator that the global financial system, founded upon the U.S. dollar, is on the brink of profound collapse.

In a recent video, Schiff didn’t just celebrate the price jump; he dissected its implications, drawing striking parallels to historical crises and laying out a grim forecast for the dollar and U.S. sovereign debt.

For Peter Schiff, gold is not merely a commodity; it is the ultimate forward-looking indicator of economic health.

The move past $4,000 is not random; it signals accelerating fear over the future purchasing power of fiat currencies, especially the U.S. dollar.

Schiff anchors his argument in history, specifically comparing today’s situation to the 1970s. When the U.S. abandoned the gold standard, the dollar experienced a massive devaluation, leading to crippling stagflation.

 The current crisis, he argues, is a sequel—but potentially far more severe—as the world actively moves away from the U.S. dollar standard.

Schiff critiques commentators who dismiss gold’s rise, reminding us that truly significant financial crises are often heralded by seemingly isolated market events.

 Just as the rising default rates on subprime mortgages were the quiet harbinger of the 2008 financial crisis, the explosive rise in gold prices is signaling a sovereign debt and inflation crisis that the Federal Reserve and Washington are actively ignoring.

Why is the dollar’s reserve status eroding now? Schiff points to three critical factors that have converged to accelerate the move away from the greenback:

The bedrock of the dollar’s global status has been fundamentally undermined by the massive, unsustainable debt carried by the U.S. government. Irresponsible fiscal policies—unfunded spending, endless deficits, and ballooning national debt—have signaled to the world that the U.S. has no intention of paying down its liabilities or maintaining the strength of its currency.

Schiff argues that the Federal Reserve has lost credibility by prioritizing political stability over fiscal prudence. Years of loose monetary policy, followed by policy shifts that have failed to tame inflation effectively, have left investors skeptical of the Fed’s ability to navigate the complex economic landscape without resorting to the inflationary tactic of printing more money.

Perhaps the most significant recent catalyst is the weaponization of the dollar through geopolitical sanctions, notably those levied against Russia.

 By freezing dollar-denominated assets, the U.S. government inadvertently provided the final push needed for nations like China, the BRICS alliance, and others to actively seek alternatives to the dollar for trade and reserves. This collective push for de-dollarization is rapidly diminishing the demand for U.S. assets.

Schiff’s prediction is stark: the unprecedented surge in gold prices foreshadows a looming dollar collapse accompanied by hyperinflation.

Schiff believes the Fed will ultimately choose the latter, resulting in a severe devaluation crisis where goods and services become exponentially more expensive, even as the official economy plunges into deep distress.

If the gold market is truly signaling the end of the dollar era, preparation is paramount. Peter Schiff is adamant that traditional defensive strategies will fail because the U.S. bond market will be the primary victim of rising rates and collapsing currency value.

Gold and silver are essential portfolio anchors. They are real money that retains value during periods of monetary debasement and inflation. As the dollar plummets, these assets represent protected purchasing power.

Avoid reliance on U.S. stocks and bonds. Schiff recommends acquiring foreign dividend-paying stocks that generate income in currencies less exposed to the U.S. debt crisis, allowing investors to move their capital out of the collapsing dollar orbit.

Schiff stresses that U.S. bonds (Treasuries) will suffer the most significant damage. As rates eventually rise or inflation spirals out of control, the value of fixed-income U.S. debt will be decimated.

The move to $4,000 gold is a marker of historic significance, according to Peter Schiff. It is a financial verdict on decades of fiscal negligence and a clear call to action for investors to prepare for a financial upheaval that will redefine global monetary stability.

Gold’s Run to $5,000, Silver $50 Isn’t a Rally: It’s Proof of a Dying Financial System

Gold’s Run to $5,000, Silver $50 Isn’t a Rally: It’s Proof of a Dying Financial System

Daniela Cambone:  10-8-2025

“It’s really theft. And it's not mistaken theft or stupid theft. It's deliberate policy theft,” says Matthew Piepenburg, author of Rigged to Fail, of the current fiscal environment.

 He warns we are at a “Stalingrad moment” for the U.S. dollar, driven by unsustainable debt and central banks “net stacking gold and net dumping U.S. Treasuries.”

This historic shift, he explains, is because “policymakers are not your friends” and are deliberately debasing currency. “When that debt credit balloon approaches a popping moment… the currency used to monetize that debt… melts like an ice cube.”

In this environment, “gold just tells the truth,” acting as a vital lifeboat. “Gold has almost a supernatural, historical, and inherent quality that's simply unmatched.

And that's why it's in such demand, and it will always get the last laugh over dying fiat paper money. It just always does.”

Armies Of Investment Managers About To Rush Gold | Clive Thompson

Armies Of Investment Managers About To Rush Gold | Clive Thompson

Liberty and Finance:  20-8-2025

Gold and silver markets are surging, with gold nearing $4,000 and silver pushing $50, driven by global unease over political instability, the U.S. government shutdown, and recession fears.

Clive Thompson says investors are losing faith in holding cash and rushing into tangible assets, while institutional portfolios still hold less than 1% gold on average, leaving room for a major revaluation if allocations rise even modestly.

He views short-term froth as normal within a powerful, long-term bull market. Thompson warns the U.S. shutdown is forcing the Fed to “fly blind” without economic data and slowing growth amid layoffs and AI-driven job losses.

He expects the Fed to resume money printing to cap long-term rates, triggering renewed inflation and pushing gold even higher.

He argues government debt is compounding faster than GDP and predicts an eventual gold revaluation, potentially near $15,000 per ounce, as the only way to restore fiscal solvency.

Ultimately, he sees the “crack-up boom” described by von Mises unfolding, where all real assets rise together as confidence in fiat currencies erodes.

Gold, he says, remains the anchor of real value as dollars, euros, and other currencies continue to lose purchasing power in “real money” terms.

Gold and S&P 500 Peaking Together 6 Times in 2025 — A 1970s Echo of Financial Chaos?

Gold and S&P 500 Peaking Together 6 Times in 2025 — A 1970s Echo of Financial Chaos?

Daniela Cambone:  10-7-2025

In finance, conventional wisdom often holds that when stocks soar, safe havens like gold languish. They are supposed to be inverse reflections of economic confidence.

But what happens when both are hitting all-time highs simultaneously?

This rare and fascinating convergence was the subject of a recent, insightful discussion on the Della Kambon show at ITM Trading, featuring host Danny and guest Joel Litman, a finance professor and Chief Investment Strategist at Ultimatry.

Litman explains that this unprecedented dual peak—a phenomenon that has occurred only six times since the 1970s—is not a glitch in the simulation. It’s a powerful signal driven by fundamentally separate forces, demanding a new level of diversification from investors.

The simultaneous ascent of gold and the S&P 500 paints a contradictory picture of the current global economy:

Gold has experienced an explosive surge, rising 44% this year and nearing the significant milestone of $4,000 an ounce. This movement is a classic reflection of global fear and systemic uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has climbed 14% to set new records. This surge is predicated on a narrative of optimism surrounding U.S. corporate performance.

The contradiction resolves when you stop viewing the market as a single engine. Litman stresses that gold and stocks are being propelled by entirely different—but equally powerful—engines.

Gold is thriving because of global risk and instability. Stocks are thriving because of specific, idiosyncratic strength within the U.S. corporate sector.

“Gold is the hedge against global crisis and instability. Stocks are the reward for U.S. corporate innovation and strong earnings growth,” Litman explained.

A persistent critique of the current stock rally is that it’s purely dependent on a handful of mega-cap tech companies (the “Magnificent 7”). Litman thoroughly refutes this notion, providing evidence that the market’s strength is far broader than headlines suggest.

He revealed that over 400 stocks in the S&P 500 have more than doubled in value this year.

This breadth signals that the rally is robust and driven by genuine productivity gains across various sectors, not just concentrated momentum in tech giants. This reality opens up significant opportunities for selective stock pickers willing to look beyond the largest market caps.

Another source of investor confusion is the disconnect between mixed economic surveys (weak PMI, consumer spending concerns) and the strong performance of corporate earnings.

Litman clarifies that economic growth and corporate earnings growth are not synonymous. Many American companies can generate high economic profit even when the broader economy faces headwinds.

This resilience is largely attributed to the robust discretionary income of the U.S. consumer compared to consumers in other developed nations.

When assessing the risk of a prolonged bear market, Litman points to the historical precedence: bear markets almost always coincide with corporate credit crises.

Critically, the U.S. currently exhibits low credit risk. Conversely, Litman highlights that credit risks are perilously concentrated in China, where many companies—when reviewed under Western accounting standards—are barely profitable or effectively insolvent. This fundamental contrast supports a relatively optimistic view on the trajectory of U.S. equities.

The discussion also touched on global efforts to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance, including Russia’s financial strain and China’s strategic shifts, such as the proposed “China super monetary highway” involving gold trading in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.

While acknowledging these shifts, Litman remains skeptical that the complex structural and political hurdles facing these nations will allow them to unseat the USD’s dominance anytime soon.

The convergence of record-high gold and stocks is not a signal to panic, nor is it a sign to go all-in on one asset class. Instead, it underscores the profound importance of intelligent diversification.

This moment in history—where two opposing forces of the financial world hit their zenith together—is rare. It provides a unique opportunity for investors to hedge their global risks while capitalizing on the extraordinary strength and innovation of the U.S. corporate sector.

$4,000 Gold: Is It Time To Sell?

$4,000 Gold: Is It Time To Sell?

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 7, 2025

You’d think Charles de Gaulle would have been a little bit more grateful to America.

 As head of the Free French Forces during World War II, de Gaulle was essentially a leader in exile, and he had to base himself in England for the majority of the war after the Nazis took Paris.

 It was only because of the sacrifices made by American troops-- and exceptional generosity from US general Dwight Eisenhower-- that de Gaulle was allowed to enter Paris on August 25, 1944.

America had already done all the fighting. But de Gaulle marched through the streets in triumph as if he had personally won the war.

 The US government then went on to cement his power, so de Gaulle became head of France’s post-war provisional government, then later French president. France also received billions in aid from the Marshall Plan, courtesy of US taxpayers.

 The guy pretty much owed his entire political career, not to mention the liberation and economic solvency of his country, to the United States.

But de Gaulle’s ego was far greater than his sense of gratitude; in fact in his own memoirs he compared himself to Joanne of Arc. He even whined that he didn’t receive enough US support.

 The ultimate disrespect came on February 4, 1965. De Gaulle called a press conference to criticize America’s “exorbitant privilege” in global finance, concluding that the world needed to return to a classical gold standard.

 Ever since July of 1944, the world had been on the “Bretton Woods” system. Every currency was pegged to the US dollar, and the US dollar was pegged to gold at a price of $35 per ounce.

Having the global reserve currency meant that America could finance its government deficits by simply printing more money. This is still the case today. De Gaulle was jealous of this benefit, so he tried wrecking the financial system.

In addition to demanding a return to the classical gold standard, de Gaulle also insisted that the US government redeem France’s dollar reserves for gold.

 The idea caught on. Governments around the world, along with financial speculators and investors, started paying attention… and many began trading their dollars for gold as well.

 This trend picked up steam over the next several years until, finally, in 1971, Richard Nixon shut it down… announcing that the United States would no longer redeem US dollars for gold.

 The gold price naturally started to rise. Within a few months, gold was already above $40, up 13.5%. It reached $60 in 1972 (up 42%), nearly $100 in 1973 (up 66%), and $180 in 1974 (up 80%).

 It’s not hard to understand why. Inflation was soaring. The world was a geopolitical hot mess. Then there was the Nixon political scandal at home. Uncertainty abounded, and gold was the remedy.

 But then something interesting happened: Congress passed a law finally allowing private ownership of gold.

It seems crazy today, but ever since 1933, it had actually been illegal for Americans to own gold. Congress reversed this in 1974.

 So just imagine you’re an average American in the 1970s watching gold rise more than 5x, from $35 to $180… but you can’t do anything about it because it’s illegal to buy. Then suddenly the law changes. Almost overnight, US investors started aggressively investing in gold.

Back then, of course, people didn’t have brokerage accounts, let alone access to futures exchanges. And there were no ETFs.

 So instead people bought physical gold coins-- Krugerrands, Eagles, etc. And there was booming demand for a while.

 But right around this time, large investors, hedge funds, etc. started feeling like gold was overbought… and that the price had risen too far, too fast. So they started selling. In fact many funds were selling as small retail investors were buying.

 And as you can imagine, the gold price soon started to fall; in fact the correction lasted roughly 18 months. Gold eventually hit a low of ~$100 in August 1976-- a drop of more than 40% from its record high in 1975.

 Yet even though speculators were selling, the fundamentals of gold had not changed.

 Specifically, foreign governments and central banks were still seeking to diversify from their US dollar holdings. And more importantly, the US government financial condition was still atrocious.

 So after an 18-month hiatus, the gold price started rising again in August 1976… from ~$100 to $800+ in December 1979.

So even though gold had reached a record high in 1974, people who understood the long-term fundamentals, i.e. why the gold price was going higher, saw an additional 4x return. People that were smart enough to buy more when the price fell did even better-- 8x in less than four years.

 And people who sold their gold in 1975 missed the rise from $185 to $850.

 Gold just hit $4,000 today. It’s up more than 50% in a year, and up 100% in two years. So is it time to sell?

In our view, this is like 1975 again. Gold may be overbought now; after all, nothing is supposed to go up (or down) in a straight line.

We’re also seeing interesting data from ETFs. The “GLD”, for example, the world’s largest gold ETF, is seeing record inflows, including more than $2 billion in a single day last month.

 This is a sign that, just like 1975, individual investors are piling in to gold after sitting on the sidelines for the past few years.

 Strong, sudden retail demand is often a top signal, at least temporarily. And it’s possible that there could be a short-term correction.

But even if that happens, it doesn’t change the fundamental story of gold. Just like the 1970s, foreign governments and central banks today are aggressively diversifying their US dollar holdings, and gold is the most convenient asset for them to buy.

We don’t believe this has changed at all. Foreign governments and central banks might pull back on their purchases temporarily to see what happens in the market. But long-term they are still strong buyers of gold thanks to the US government’s terrible fiscal trajectory.

 And despite any short-term corrections, this is what will ultimately drive gold prices higher over the next several years.

Debt Crisis Builds, Gold Soars, System Reset

Debt Crisis Builds, Gold Soars, System Reset

ITM Trading: Taylor Kenny:  10-5-2025

The economic landscape feels more unpredictable than ever. From rising prices at the grocery store to whispers of financial instability, many are asking: What’s really going on with our money and our future?

A recent video from ITM Trading, featuring Taylor Kenney and Eric Griffin, dives deep into these pressing questions, offering insights that challenge conventional thinking and highlight crucial strategies for wealth preservation.

The conversation opens with a stark look at the commercial real estate (CRE) market. Imagine a perfect storm: rising interest rates making borrowing more expensive, declining occupancy rates (thank you, remote work!), and a mountain of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) facing refinancing deadlines.

 This isn’t just a hiccup; it’s a recipe for potential disaster.

As interest rates climb, property values naturally fall, making refinancing a nightmare. Many commercial property owners will struggle to meet their obligations, potentially triggering a financial crisis in the sector.

 The proposed “solution”? Central banks might resort to what’s known as “extend and pretend” – temporarily cutting interest rates to allow owners to refinance at lower rates, thereby propping up asset values and delaying the inevitable. It’s a bandage, not a cure, and it has significant implications for the broader economy.

But the real story of our current economic woes isn’t just about rising prices – it’s about the very foundation of our money.

The video powerfully argues that inflation is fundamentally currency debasement. When central banks engage in excessive money printing, they erode the purchasing power of the dollar. This isn’t just theory; it’s a fundamental erosion of your savings and your future wealth.

This perspective flips the script: traditional fiat currencies (like the dollar) are not truly “real money” because their value can be manipulated and diminished by policy. Instead, the rising price of assets like gold isn’t necessarily because gold is getting more expensive; it’s because the dollar is losing its value.

In this environment of currency debasement, precious metals like gold and silver emerge as vital tools for wealth preservation.

Gold, with its intrinsic value, acts as a hedge against a weakening dollar. It’s “real money” that has stood the test of time, unlike paper currencies that have historically come and gone.

A common question is, “Is it too late to invest in gold?” The experts in the video suggest quite the opposite. Given the ongoing monetary debasement, long-term gold prices could far exceed current levels. It’s about protecting your purchasing power over time, not short-term speculation. And for those concerned about accessibility, gold can be acquired in fractional ounces, making it reachable for various budgets.

The video also delivers a critical warning: physical precious metals are paramount. Relying on paper or digital gold products (like ETFs or bank-held accounts) carries significant risks.

In times of crisis, digital assets can be frozen, devalued, or simply inaccessible. Physical gold and silver, however, provide tangible security and control – “money in your hand” that isn’t subject to the whims of financial institutions or government policies.

And don’t overlook silver! Often called “poor man’s gold,” it offers similar protective qualities and is particularly useful for smaller-scale transactions or barter in a truly extreme scenario, complementing gold’s role as a major wealth preserver.

Looking ahead, the experts warn of continued challenges: potential stagflation (a toxic mix of stagnation and inflation), job market shifts due to technological advances like AI, and the near certainty of more money printing to combat economic headwinds. In such an environment, waiting to act could prove costly.

The message is clear: proactive positioning is key. By understanding the true nature of currency debasement and acquiring physical precious metals like gold and silver, you can protect your wealth and secure your financial future in an increasingly uncertain world.

Watch the full video from ITM Trading with Taylor Kenney joined by Eric Griffin for further insights and information. Understanding these dynamics now could be the most important financial decision you make.

BRICS Just Built the System that will Replace the Dollar

BRICS Just Built the System that will Replace the Dollar

Cyrus Janssen:  10-6-2025

For the past 80 years, the US dollar has been the undisputed king of global finance, its dominance underpinning the world’s economic order.

 But a seismic shift is underway, spearheaded by the BRICS alliance – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – that promises to fundamentally reshape the financial landscape.

They’re not just talking about it; they’re building it – a groundbreaking, resource-backed financial system designed to challenge Western hegemony and usher in a new era of economic sovereignty.

At the heart of BRICS’ revolutionary vision is the establishment of a dedicated precious metals exchange. This isn’t just about trading gold; it’s about enabling payments directly in gold and rare earth minerals.

This strategic move leverages BRICS’ formidable control over 72% of the world’s rare earth mineral reserves. These aren’t just obscure elements; they are the irreplaceable components of modern technology, from smartphones to electric vehicles, and crucially, advanced military hardware.

This unparalleled control over essential resources grants BRICS unprecedented geopolitical leverage.

This pivot isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s a direct counter to a global financial system that has historically been controlled by Western institutions like the London Metal Exchange and the SWIFT payment network.

 The weaponization of these systems – particularly the exclusion of Russia from gold trading and payment networks following the conflict in Ukraine – served as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in a centralized, Western-dominated architecture.

BRICS’ new exchange aims for independent, transparent financial mechanisms, enabling fair pricing free from unilateral Western sanctions and undermining the ability to enforce financial controls on sovereign nations.

Indeed, the signs of the dollar’s receding global tide are becoming increasingly undeniable. Nearly 70% of BRICS trade now bypasses the dollar, with nations like Russia and China increasingly conducting bilateral trade in their own national currencies.

Consequently, global dollar reserves are at their lowest since 2000. Even the dollar’s strategic cornerstone, the petrodollar, is losing ground as Saudi Arabia begins accepting the yuan for some oil sales.

Meanwhile, BRICS nations are actively amassing gold reserves and developing alternative financial infrastructures, such as China’s gold vault for foreign central banks, providing robust protection against Western sanctions.

Africa, with its vast untapped mineral wealth, is a crucial chess piece in this new game. The continent is increasingly integrating into this new system, leveraging its abundant natural resources to become a significant player in the rare earth mineral market.

Countries like Angola and Nigeria are investing heavily in mining and processing, eager to channel new wealth through BRICS-backed markets rather than Western-controlled systems.

For the United States, this evolving landscape presents particular challenges. A significant lack of domestic rare earth mineral production, especially for critical materials like nobbium – which Brazil largely controls – creates a substantial dependency.

This reliance directly undermines US military capabilities, given that many advanced weapons systems are built with these very elements. China’s near-monopoly on rare earth mineral processing further exacerbates the West’s vulnerability, creating a bottleneck that can be exploited.

In essence, what BRICS is meticulously constructing is a counter-narrative to the prevailing dollar-based, debt-heavy Western model.

 Their new global order emphasizes tangible assets, economic sovereignty, and the undeniable power that comes from controlling essential resources.

This is more than just a financial maneuver; it’s a declaration of economic independence and a historic rebalancing of global power. The world is witnessing a monumental shift in global trade and finance, with BRICS at the forefront, forcing the West to either adapt to this new reality or risk obsolescence.

End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

The Market Sniper:  10-5-2025

The global financial system is not merely shifting; it is entering a phase of fundamental, seismic transformation.

For those paying close attention, the tremors beneath the surface—inflation, bank instability, and geopolitical maneuvering—signal the impending end of the fiat currency era initiated by the 1971 Nixon Shock.

In a recent, detailed conversation, Francis Hunt, The Market Sniper, sat down with financial analyst Bill Holter to dissect the escalating systemic risks. What follows is a summary of their stark, yet crucial, analysis covering everything from the mechanics of market failure to the necessary steps for personal preparedness.

Holter and Hunt paint a clear picture: the US dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency is nearing its conclusion. This is not driven by simple economic cycles but by a deliberate, geopolitical pivot.

The experts highlight the accelerating trend of nations, particularly the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and others), moving decisively away from the USD and toward a sound money paradigm backed by physical commodities and precious metals.

This shift signals the widespread loss of trust in unbacked fiat currencies. As central banks and major global players liquidate dollar assets, the demand for true, tangible wealth—physical gold and silver—soars.

Bill Holter provides crucial insights into the precious metals market, specifically silver. He details the dangerous disconnect between the paper derivatives market and the actual supply of physical metals.

A key indicator of systemic stress is the persistent “failure to deliver” in the silver market. This phenomenon suggests that the amount of paper silver traded and promised far exceeds the physical metal available, proving that the paper price is a manipulated fiction.

As nations demand physical settlement and retail investors recognize the paper manipulation, the pressure on the price of gold and silver will reach a tipping point, forcing a massive, rapid revaluation that reflects underlying real demand.

Key takeaway: Precious metals are not viewed as mere commodities by central banks anymore; they are the foundation of the next global monetary system.

One of the most insidious threats discussed is the deliberate manipulation of government statistics, particularly inflation data. By underreporting the true rate of inflation, governments obscure the actual pace at which fiat currency is losing purchasing power, lulling the public into a false sense of security.

However, the manipulation serves a greater purpose: preparing for the systemic collapse. Hunt and Holter explore the concept of the “Great Taking”—a systemic event that could manifest as government-driven asset confiscation, forced revaluation, or wealth taxes designed to resolve unpayable national debts.

When the financial system finally breaks, the integrity of contracts, property rights, and even basic public services will be jeopardized. This financial failure is projected to trigger a wave of societal consequences.

As a potential solution to a broken fiat system, governments worldwide are rapidly advancing plans for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Hunt and Holter view CBDCs not as an innovation, but as the ultimate tool of government control. In a collapse scenario, a CBDC would grant authorities unprecedented oversight over individual spending, saving, and movement. This digital currency acts as a lockbox, allowing for instant implementation of policies like negative interest rates, expiration dates on money, and even asset freezing linked to political behavior.

While the outlook presented by Holter and Hunt is grim regarding the current institutional structure, they close by emphasizing that this era of systemic collapse also represents a historic opportunity for those who are prepared.

The time for preparation is now. Ignoring the signals being broadcast across the global financial landscape is no longer an option.

For a complete and detailed analysis of these complex topics, including Bill Holter’s precise market observations and Francis Hunt’s strategic insights, we highly recommend watching the full video conversation available from The Market Sniper.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 5 Oct. 2025

Compiled Sun. 5 Oct. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

For those tracking the extraordinary shift in global finance and governance, the next two weeks are poised to rewrite history.

Sources confirm that the long-anticipated Global Currency Reset (GCR) is now actively underway, quietly ushering in a gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) just as the old fiat structure prepares for its final, dramatic collapse.

As we are repeatedly reminded, we are merely watching the end of a grand cinematic drama. The indicators are now accelerating, suggesting that the climax is imminent.

A fundamental requirement for the Global Currency Reset has long been global stability. According to reports, President Trump now holds seven major peace deals, fulfilling the prerequisite for the world to transition to asset-backed currencies.

The true kingpin in this global shift—the Iraqi Dinar—has been (allegedly) confirmed to have revalued.

Iraq’s celebration of its National Day, recently extended for a full week (beginning Sat. Oct 4, 2025), is interpreted by experts as the public acknowledgment of their monetary reform completion. This celebration  (allegedly) anchors the start of the final phase.

With Iraq’s Dinar (allegedly)  revalued and bond holders reportedly receiving payments, attention turns to Tier 4b—the currency and bond holders awaiting exchange appointments.

Three high-level sources suggest that notifications to set these crucial appointments could be delivered as early as Monday, October 5, or Tuesday, October 6, 2025. This movement confirms that the system is ready for the public to participate in the greatest wealth transfer in history.

The period between October 13th and 15th is widely anticipated to be the breaking point for the globalist-controlled fiat system, signaling the necessary transition for GESARA to officially take effect.

Experts are warning of a significant banking and market collapse around this date. This event is not viewed as a disaster by the White Hats, but rather a necessary cessation of the corrupt financial structure.

While the Stock Market craters, the backbone of modern finance—the SWIFT Global Banking System—will meet its end. However, the world will not be left in chaos: 209 countries  (allegedly) already have banks connected to the new asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS).

This date has been designated as World Quantum Day, the moment when the foundational laws of NESARA/GESARA are anticipated to become official globally.

A full banking and market collapse on Wednesday, the 15th, is expected to trigger the long-awaited activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).

Once the EBS signals with the sound of Seven Trumpets, citizens can expect to receive key personal messages via the Starlink Satellite System regarding their next steps—including instructions for scheduling Redemption Center appointments, (allegedly) utilizing future Med Bed treatments, and secure quantum voting protocols.

Beneath the drama of the market collapse, the foundation for extraordinary economic reform—GESARA—has  (allegedly) been put into play.

On October 1, 2025, President Trump reportedly launched a $150 trillion financial operation via the National Endowment Directive. This act unlocks vast mineral assets (Gold, Silver, Rare Earths) sealed away for decades beneath U.S. federal land—resources valued at more than the GDP of every nation combined.

The QFS, running node by node through secure Starlink satellites, ensures that all new transactions are transparent, incorruptible, and tied to true asset value, officially ending the reign of the Deepstate Cabal’s economic empire.

We are told the silent preparation phase of this monumental shift is over. The moment is here.

As the old structure crumbles, the new one—built on gold, transparency, and abundance—is (allegedly)  fully operational. For those involved in the physical currency exchanges, prepare for your notification between October 5th and 6th. For all citizens, prepare for the EBS, which is the signal that the QFS and NESARA/GESARA are officially rolling out worldwide.

The game of scarcity, debt, and dependency is  (allegedly) over. We are entering a new paradigm enforced by asset-backed currency and quantum technology, bringing justice and prosperity back to the people.

Samson   Article:   “THE PRIME MINISTER DIRECTS THAT THE NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE FOR A WEEK”

Militia Man  You have an extension to a one day holiday with a long weekend attached to it.  You can’t make this stuff up…Basically national day extended for a week…  Sudani’s directive extends to manifestations of a celebration for a full week through October 10th…Article quote:  “This is unusual and the standard is a single day off.”  Adding that extra time is obviously a move on purpose…They’ll be able to have cultural shows, military parades.  They’ll have sovereignty emphasis.  

Frank26  The holiday has been extended to seven days.  What you got up your sleeve? Nothing Bullwinkle.  You have to have watched Rocky the flying squirrel to know what that means.  Never mind.  He went from 3 days to 7 days.  We’re not stupid…There is nothing to celebrate at 1310.  Quit playing with us.

Frank26   Something is going on.  We see the words I have been sharing with you for years in print now.  It's exciting...The monetary reform of the Iraqi dinar doesn't have much more time...They told the citizens they're about to give them the new exchange rate.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY: Sammy said Alaq said the monetary reform has ended.  It has achieved all its goals.  We are now implementing it according to the time frame set.  

Walkingstick   [Iraq bank friend Aki update] WALKINGSTICK:  Do you have a time period when you're going to be closing up for about 3 days.  AKI: Yes.  That's not a secret.  The US Treasury is constantly in and out of our country.  Many time we are following all their instructions.  They told me I had to stay here in my private bank [in Dearborn] because the US Treasury wanted it that way. WS: Why do you think they asked you to stay there?   AKI: Because we are at the end of the time line...I told you we have had a date for a long time.  That date is coming to an end.  On that date they will introduce a new exchange rate.

China Plans 4 New Gold Hubs as it Moves Forward With Global Reset

China Plans 4 New Gold Hubs as it Moves Forward With Global Reset

Daniela Cambone:  10-3-2025

“The global financial order is tilting—and it’s not going to stop,” says Dr. Nomi Prins, former Goldman Sachs managing director and bestselling author of Collusion.

With the Shanghai Gold Exchange launching offshore vaults in Hong Kong, Singapore, Zurich, and Dubai, Prins calls it a “time zone tilt, a geographical tilt, a power tilt” that shifts gold—and power—away from the West.

“This is about redistricting the globe around the hard currency of gold,” she explains. “Central banks are diversifying away from the dollar, and gold is now the second most held reserve asset worldwide, ahead of the euro.

China has been carefully sequencing this strategy for over a decade.” As gold surges toward $4,500 and silver gains momentum, Prins sees the East tightening its grip: “More nations are moving their gold away from London and into Shanghai or Singapore.

That takes supply off the market, lifts prices higher, and creates an entirely new power base.”
