"Bullion Will Be Impossible to find in a Crisis" James Anderson
James Anderson: Bullion will be Impossible to Find in a Crisis
Palisades gold Radio: Sep 3, 2021
James discusses gold demand since 2020 and how interest in metals is steadily increasing. In the years to come, this interest will continue as uncertainty in the markets grows.
The structure of the financial system today is vastly different than in the past. Now there are layers of obscurity hiding the unstable system. Eventually, these problems will be too big to hide.
People underestimate the psychological effects of inflation and how it will affect the middle class. The inflation numbers reported by the government are easy to debunk.
Ultimately higher prices will be reflected in the precious metals. James discusses traveling through Turkey recently and seeing Istanbul's impressive ancient architecture. There is considerable bullion demand in Turkey particularly due to ongoing issues with their currency. The people there are suffering and barely able to stay above water.
If you buy bullion you want to have a long-term perspective. When you understand the fiat system you will realize the benefits of having a position in metals.
Premiums are still somewhat elevated and James believes we may not see a return to pre-pandemic levels.
It's unlikely the United States would go after an individual's gold directly. However, they may create some additional fees or taxes on the metals in the future. Having some of your bullion offshore may be a good idea so long as you are cautious of where you keep it.
The equity markets may now be considered national security interests. Therefore they will likely do everything they can to maintain the system. With everyone invested the consequences of a large pullback could be very serious.
Lastly, he discusses the uses for platinum, its price, and the overall supply-demand fundamentals.

Jon Dowling: CLARITY ACT UPDATE: Is the BIG MOVE About to Begin? | Gold Standard Return
8-14-2026
The global financial system is on the cusp of an unprecedented transformation. In a recent episode of the Jon Dowling Podcast, financial and cryptocurrency expert Rob Cunningham sat down to discuss the ongoing global financial reset.
Drawing from his extensive military background and deep financial expertise, Cunningham outlined a strategic transition away from traditional fiat currency toward a highly transparent system of sound money. This new financial paradigm is set to be backed by gold, silver, and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), signaling a massive shift in how global wealth is managed, measured, and preserved.

Tishwash: Iraq opens the file on public funds: striking at privileges and removing zeros
Amid the financial and economic pressures facing the Iraqi state, the files of public funds, privileges, double salaries, and reforming the monetary system are returning to the forefront of discussion within the House of Representatives, with a set of proposals aimed at rearranging government spending, tightening control over the wealth of officials, and strengthening the position of the Iraqi dinar.
The proposals put forward do not stop at amending one law, but open a wider discussion about the form of the state’s financial management, the size of spending on officials, and the extent to which regulatory institutions are able to uncover illicit funds, leading up to a controversial proposal related to removing zeros from the Iraqi currency.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) August 12, 2026
At 4:15 in the morning on November 4, 1956, Soviet artillery opened fire on the city of Budapest. And the subsequent firestorm was nothing short of devastating.
Two weeks earlier, students and factory workers had risen up against the Soviet-installed puppet government in Hungary. They pulled down Stalin's statue, rampaged across the city, and even managed to push Soviet forces out of Budapest.
