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

“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.”
