Michael Snyder: Inflation will Explode as the World Stops Using Dollars
Palisades Gold Radio: 3-23-2022
Tom welcomes new guest Michael Snyder from The Economic Collapse Blog. Michael discusses how people assume war with Russia can't happen because of Mutual Assured Destruction. We do need to think about the risks of conflict escalating and Russia has modernized its strategic arsenal while the United States largely has not.
The Russians have also developed anti-ballistic missile systems which are quite advanced. As a result, we are quite unprepared for such a conflict.
Meanwhile the U.S. military is mostly focused on implementing woke policies. When the cold war ended we declared ourselves the victors and focused on other parts of our military. 9/11 brought spending on anti-terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq which became large money pits.
The military today is increasingly underperforming which we witnessed when the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan. U.S. foreign policy has been isolating various countries like Russia, China, and India. This is resulting in these countries coming closer together. Most do not want this war and if we're not careful it could escalate.
Countries are likely to take advantage of the United States because Biden is perceived as weak. This is a window of opportunity for other nations. A diplomatic solution that would have kept Russia out of Ukraine was entirely possible but the Biden administration took a hard-line approach.
The current method of calculating inflation has been changed multiple times to make it look lower. The actual numbers (ShadowStats.com) are over fifteen percent if it was calculated like it was in the 80s.
We've been spending trillions that we don't have and thus diluting the money supply at an ever-increasing pace. Now with the problems in Europe, we're going to have further supply problems and therefore inflation is going to worsen to the next level.
We're seeing the energy problems coming out of Europe in part due to their reliance on unreliable green energy solutions. Food supplies are going to get increasingly tight since much of the wheat for Europe comes from Ukraine and Russia.
Many farmers are going to be unable to purchase fertilizer due to the costs.

Central Banks Choose Between Gold and Dollars. Gold Is Winning
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) August 10, 2026
Every country on earth keeps a rainy-day fund: a pile of emergency savings, managed by its central bank, set aside for wars, crises, and currency runs.
These stockpiles of cash around the world are known as a nation’s “reserves”, and the people who manage those funds are called reserve managers.

For years, the Iraqi dinar (IQD) has been a subject of intense interest and speculation among global currency investors. While online forums are often filled with sensational claims of overnight riches and imminent currency revaluations, seasoned investors take a more analytical approach.
In a recent video from the popular YouTube channel The Dinar Den, Stephen—an entrepreneur and long-time Iraqi dinar investor—provides a grounded, realistic perspective on the current state of Iraq’s economy. Instead of focusing on unverified rumors, Stephen highlights a far more critical development: Iraq’s rapid transition toward a digitized financial infrastructure.

People keep this in mind. Under Article 70 of the Iraqi Constitution, major financial reforms specifically altering the exchange rate require a seated government and parliamentary consensus.
