Alasdair Macleod: EU Banking System Imploding
Palisades Gold Radio: Dec 2, 2020
Tom welcomes a new guest to the show, Alasdair Macleod. Alasdair is the Head of Research for Goldmoney and an advocate for sound money.
Alasdair discusses the recent price action with gold and how it is typical for it to fall in November near the end of the option cycle. It often rebounds in December, which seasonally speaking is an excellent time to get into gold.
He expects an exciting market going into 2021, especially when considering the economic environment. The dollar is looking very weak, and the yield on the ten-year is rising.
Alasdair believes there is no shortage of US dollars in foreign markets. Companies that should have failed years ago need to go bust so we can move ahead. However, the last thing Central Banks and Politicians want is failures on their watch.
He outlines how the Target Two settlement system works between countries in Europe and the ECB. Italy has been using a lot of non-performing loans as collateral by dumping these into Target Two.
These non-performing loans are creating huge imbalances across the EU and are not sustainable. The banks are bust in the Eurozone, and it's only a matter of time.
He is concerned about the possibility of Central Bank digital currencies and the potential loss of freedom. Central Banks hide what inflation is by relying on some metrics they control. This way, they can inflate the money supply as they wish. They are just impoverishing everyone who is not in government.
He says, "We are on a hyperinflationary course, and there is no exit. No politician is strong enough to change this direction." At some point, they will be forced to back their currencies with gold, or they will become worthless.
Any government that relies on printing money to finance it's deficits will destroy it's currency. If you look at the whole range of commodities and raw materials, you will see that they have gone up along with most markets.
We have inflation across most assets, and that is due to excessive money printing.
Lastly, he discusses the benefits of silver in a future monetary standard.

What more do you need to see?
The SEC’s September 17, 2026 Innovation Exemption removes regulatory barriers, enabling the DTCC to initiate asset tokenization on Ripple (XRP Ledger) in October. This aligns with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) digital Dinar (dIQD) framework, which enforces 1:1 parity with physical IQD through a permissioned ledger governed by the Trade Bank of Iraq, Rafidain, and Rasheed Banks.

A Observation So To Speak: The Reset
Everyone reads September 30 as a disarmament deadline. Read it the other way: it’s the last day the old security architecture exists.
Militias holding weapons and militias holding hoarded cash are frequently the same gentlemen, and the weapons deadline functions as a census. Compliance with the handover signals compliance with the financial order that follows seven days later.

GP Q: Why the Clarity Act Matters to Currency Holders
9-16-2026
CLARITY ACT — WHY IT MATTERS TO CURRENCY HOLDERS
The Senate did fail to advance the CLARITY Act today. The cloture vote was a procedural step requiring 60 votes; it was not a final vote declaring the bill d**d forever.
WHAT WE KNOW: The bill concerns regulation of digital assets, including SEC/CFTC jurisdiction.
Stephanie Starr: If Congress Advances this
9-15-2026
If Congress advances this, the United States is formally acknowledging Bitcoin as a strategic national asset — something potentially worth holding on the federal balance sheet rather than automatically selling.
Why that matters? Protects U.S. exposure to a scarce digital asset. Strengthens America’s position in the global digital-asset economy. Signals that crypto is becoming part of mainstream financial policy. Encourages long-term regulatory and institutional certainty. Forces other nations to think seriously about their own digital-asset reserves. Moves the conversation from “Should crypto exist?” to “How does America compete?”
Ariel: THE SEQUENCING - WHY ORDER MATTERS 9/12/26
VIII. THE SEQUENCING — WHY ORDER MATTERS
The CLARITY Act must pass before the Dinar revalues. Here's the mechanical reason:
1. CLARITY Act passes → digital tokens backed by sovereign currencies become legally recognized settlement instruments under US law.
2. SEC issues no-action letters → exchanges can list the revalued Dinar token without securities law exposure.

The source said that al-Zaidi will head to the United States after the end of his European tour, which includes France and Germany, indicating that his meeting with Trump will focus on three main issues: the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq within the agreed timeframes, the results of the anti-corruption campaign and the expected steps within it, in addition to the course of the political process in the country.

Iraq has been operating under an artificially suppressed exchange rate since 2003. The dinar was deliberately pegged low 1,470 to the dollar under the program rate set by the Coalition Provisional Authority and maintained by the Central Bank of Iraq under IMF pressure.

Nicholas Veniamin: 9-21-2026
The global financial landscape is undergoing a profound and highly coordinated transformation. As nations seek to move away from legacy monetary frameworks, a complex web of geopolitical negotiations, economic positioning, and structural reforms is taking shape.
