“Apocalypse is Unfolding”: Gold Soars as Tensions Escalate, Faith in Money Dies
“Apocalypse is Unfolding”: Gold Soars as Tensions Escalate, Faith in Money Dies
Daniela Cambone: 1-5-2026
Gold is hovering around $4,450—not just a bull market, but a symptom of a dawning realization that decades of money printing have hollowed out the dollar’s value.
People are waking up, stacking “junk silver” (pre-1965 coins) and physical metal as a form of preparation. “My number one concern about 2026 is a second wave of inflation,” says Jeffrey Tucker, Founder, Author, and President of the Brownstone Institute.
In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, Tucker warns that inflation could intensify as the U.S. approaches the 2026 midterm elections, adding pressure to the housing market and increasing economic uncertainty.
“I would not be at all surprised to see inflation of 3% or higher,” he says. Tucker also criticizes the idea of cutting interest rates at this stage, calling it “the worst possible time” and “a disastrous idea.”
He cautions that current policies risk repeating past mistakes: “My concern has been that we’re going to repeat the experience of the 1970s.”
He concludes that the deeper issue is a loss of trust in the system: “This would not be happening if people had confidence in the fiat money system — and they just don’t.”
