FED Prepares Gold Revaluation as Debt Crisis Escalates
Taylor Kenny: 8-14-2025
The Federal Reserve is quietly preparing for a potential U.S. gold revaluation-a move that could instantly rewrite the value of America’s gold reserves, devalue the dollar, and shake the global monetary system to its core.
We are entering the final stages of the dollar’s life cycle. The question isn’t if the system changes-it’s how soon.

U.S. Debt Soars Past $37 Trillion, Years Before Expected, “Massive” QE Coming
Daniela Cambone: 8-13-2025
“We’re moving into another massive QE program,” warns Garrett Goggin, founder of Golden Portfolio and a leading gold and silver expert, in this exclusive conversation with Daniela Cambone.
Goggin sees a seismic shift ahead as the Treasury and the Fed work in lockstep to finance ballooning U.S. debt, driving rates lower and flooding the system with liquidity.
“This is truly gold’s time,” he asserts, pointing to a historic setup where overpriced growth assets give way to deeply undervalued cyclical plays like gold miners — some trading at up to a 70% discount to fair value.
With major producers “gushing cash” and retail investor exposure to gold still near decade lows, Goggin believes the sector is primed for a powerful revaluation.
“When Buffett can’t find value in growth, he’ll come for the miners,” he adds, emphasizing that record debt, political spending, and a weakening dollar are “the perfect storm” for gold and silver to go ballistic.
