The REAL Story Behind These 3 Major Financial Crisis: Fiat, Inflation and Debt

Lynette Zang:  7-29-2025

The cracks in the system are widening and the shift toward hyperinflation is already in motion.

 In a recent Fed speech, the official story tries to blame regulation, but Lynette cuts through it exposing what’s really driving this collapse.

This isn’t new. It’s the final phase of a failing fiat system.

 And the only way to protect yourself? Real money. Gold. Silver.

"They're Going To Destroy The Dollar" | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  7-28-2025

Andy Schectman discusses recent global financial developments, focusing on the growing shift away from the U.S. dollar.

 He highlights the operational status of the Shanghai Gold Exchange's international platform, which now allows direct gold-for-yuan settlements—bypassing the need for dollar conversion.

 He explains how Chinese institutions, including insurance companies, are increasing gold allocations, with projections that could soon consume the world’s entire annual gold supply.

Schectman details the expansion of BRICS Pay and BRICS Bridge, emphasizing their integration into global trade infrastructure and compliance with AML, KYC, and KYT standards.

 He warns of an intentional destruction of the dollar through inflation, predicting a future where gold is revalued and pegged to long-term U.S. debt to restore trust and stability.

$150 Billion of New Money into Gold? Basel III Changes Everything

$150 Billion of New Money into Gold? Basel III Changes Everything

Commodity Culture:  7-28-2025

A recent insightful discussion on Commodity Culture with Jesse Day, featuring Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold, delved into the transformative forces shaping the gold and digital currency landscapes, alongside exciting updates from Dryden Gold’s exploration efforts.

The conversation revealed a bullish outlook for gold, driven by unprecedented institutional demand and innovative financial integration.

A cornerstone of the discussion was the seismic impact of Basel III regulations. As of July 1st, 2023, these regulations have reclassified gold as a Tier-One asset for U.S. banks, putting it on par with U.S. Treasuries.

This pivotal change is anticipated to unleash a tidal wave of new institutional demand, potentially channeling up to $150 billion into physical gold reserves as banks diversify their balance sheets.

The expected outcome? A significant boost to gold’s liquidity and price stability, solidifying its role as a bedrock financial asset.

Transitioning from traditional finance to the digital frontier, the conversation navigated the implications of the Genius Act. This landmark legislation represents the first major U.S. move to formalize a regulatory framework for digital currencies, particularly stablecoins.

 By providing clarity and oversight for the burgeoning $250 billion stablecoin market, the Act strategically supports the digital dollar, aiming to extend the U.S. dollar’s global reach, especially into developing and unbanked regions.

Crucially, the emergence of stablecoins – particularly those backed by U.S. Treasuries and gold – creates a fascinating synergy. These digital assets are effectively becoming new buyers of physical gold, thereby fostering fresh demand and intrinsically weaving together the digital currency and precious metals markets.

A compelling example of this integration is Tether’s recent acquisition of a 51% stake in Elemental Royalties, a move that starkly illustrates the deepening connection between the crypto and gold sectors.

Amidst these macro-level market discussions, Trey Wasser offered a compelling update on Dryden Gold’s exploration progress. The company recently secured a $7 million financing, empowering them to significantly advance their drilling program.

A highlight is the major high-grade gold discovery at their Gold Rock target. This discovery is particularly intriguing due to its geological complexity, featuring multiple stacked gold-bearing structures with no surface expression – a characteristic reminiscent of Ontario’s prolific Red Lake camp.

The Commodity Culture episode painted a vividly bullish picture for gold. The confluence of Basel III’s reclassification of gold as a top-tier asset, the Genius Act’s regulatory framework for stablecoins creating new demand, and Dryden Gold’s impressive high-grade discoveries collectively signal a transformative period for the precious metal.

These developments are not only generating unprecedented institutional demand and fostering synergies between digital finance and physical gold but also highlighting emerging success stories like Dryden Gold in promising gold districts.

For a deeper dive into these pivotal developments, viewers are encouraged to watch the full Commodity Culture video.

Mon. 28 July 2025: EXECUTIVE ORDERS ACTIVATED.

The $2.5 billion “renovation” of the Eccles Building was never about modernization — it was a military-grade transformation. The former Federal Reserve HQ is now a financial fortress: hardened, excavated, reinforced, and equipped with biometric-controlled infrastructure.

 Hidden behind bureaucratic language is the reality of two live Executive Orders — EO 13961 (Continuity of Government) and EO 13818 (Global Asset Seizure). These aren’t symbolic. They are the legal backbone of a complete financial reset.

While the public still looks to the U.S. Treasury building for signs of monetary leadership, the real seat of power has already shifted. Eccles is now the operational core of America’s future currency. Quietly, without public debate, Congress, or media attention, monetary control has been relocated and weaponized.

What appears to be a building upgrade is actually a wartime transition — the final phase in a complete dismantling of the old fiat structure and the silent construction of a new sovereign system.

Inside Eccles and the Bureau of Engraving, the old dollar is being replaced, not reprinted. New hardware is being installed — not for traditional currency, but for asset-backed notes: polymer, encrypted, biometric-embedded, ready to be collateralized with gold, oil, or rare earth elements.

These machines aren’t for modernizing fiat. They are for producing sovereign instruments under the laws of war and national emergency. This is the legal and operational extinction of debt-based money.

The reset will be fair & transparent. Legacy banks, foreign stakeholders, and fiat profiteers will be locked out.

 The new system won’t run on leverage — it will run on collateral, constitutional law, and national security protocols. What was once a privately steered economy will become a sovereign, state-issued monetary domain.

 The age of endless credit, inflationary theft, and offshore manipulation is closing. The Eccles vault is being sealed — not just physically, but politically and financially.

This is not preparation. This is execution. This is not theory. This is command. The United States is not updating its dollar. It is abolishing the old model and asserting full-spectrum control over the next era of money.

You don’t spend $2.5 billion on symbolism. You build a fortress when you plan to wage — and win — a war. Monetary sovereignty is no longer a vision. It’s happening now, under your feet, behind silent walls, powered by orders already signed. And the world has no idea what’s coming.

Japan’s Inflation Crisis Could Trigger The Next Global Bond Meltdown

Daneila Cambone:  7-28-2025

This is a very difficult, fragile situation,” says Peter Boockvar, editor of The Boock Report and CIO of OnePoint BFG, reacting to the tense exchange between Donald Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell last week.

 “Beating down the Federal Reserve Governor is not going to get you what you want.”

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Boockvar warns of rising global yields and why investors should “watch JGB yields every morning,” pointing to Japan as a key driver of long-term U.S. interest rates.

“There is an aversion to taking on too much duration in sovereign bond land... and that is a big deal.”

On gold, Boockvar explains why he expects another year of massive gold buying: “They are further diversifying their reserve holdings and want to own less dollars… Gold is now number two in that reserve pie.”

"Major Move Incoming – If You Own GOLD or SILVER, WATCH THIS NOW!" – Andrew Maguire

"Major Move Incoming – If You Own GOLD or SILVER, WATCH THIS NOW!" – Andrew Maguire

Finance Log:  7-26-2025

China is rapidly advancing a complex and multi-layered gold acquisition strategy that is quietly but decisively reshaping the global financial order.

Renowned precious metals analyst Andrew Maguire emphasizes that Beijing’s ambitions extend far beyond simply hedging against the fluctuations of the U.S. dollar.

 Instead, China is strategically positioning gold as the cornerstone of a new multipolar financial system—one that is firmly backed by tangible assets and designed to operate independently from Western financial institutions and sanctions.

Over the last decade, China has methodically shifted vast quantities of physical gold away from dominant Western paper markets, including London and COMEX, transferring these reserves into tightly controlled domestic vaults, state-owned banks, and military-related entities.

Worth $100 billion: Iraq's "mysterious wealth" on three continents revealed

7/24/2025   Baghdad

The British website " Amwaj " reported on Thursday that Iraq is facing major challenges and complications in recovering "lost properties" in Asian, African and European countries, estimated at a value of approximately $100 billion. It confirmed that these properties include palaces and villas located in France, Italy, Spain and Britain, "tea, rubber and tobacco" plantations in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, an oil refinery in Somalia, in addition to agricultural lands in Nigeria and Yemen .

The website indicated in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency that "the Iraqi parliament's Foreign Relations Committee launched an initiative in June to recover billions of dollars in state assets believed to be scattered across Africa, Asia, and Europe. This move came just weeks after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud informed his Iraqi hosts during the recent Arab Summit that an oil refinery built by the Iraqis outside Mogadishu in 1974 was still intact, but had long been neglected ."

According to the report, "The news of the neglected oil facility prompted Iraq to deeply reevaluate its efforts to access the country's long-neglected foreign assets. During the global oil boom, and after Baghdad nationalized its oil industry in 1972, Iraq made a wide range of acquisitions and investments, including luxury real estate in Europe, farms in Asia, refineries in Africa, and other projects aimed at expanding Iraq's economic influence, diversifying its resources, and strengthening diplomatic relations under the rule of former President Saddam Hussein ."

The report continued, "After the imposition of international sanctions in the 1990s, many of these assets were suddenly frozen, and the situation became more opaque after a large portion of these assets disappeared from Iraqi records following the 2003 invasion. Stolen archives, destroyed documents, and fraudulent transfers to private entities created a legal ambiguity surrounding these assets ."

He pointed out that "efforts to recover these properties and assets began in the mid-2000s, with more than $2.5 billion in frozen funds likely recovered, but physical assets have been largely ignored." He explained that "there is speculation that many properties have been sold illegally, while others appear to have been neglected or fallen under the control of other individuals or entities, sometimes even armed groups ."

The report noted that "in many cases, the Iraqi state is no longer aware of these assets, leading to what lawmakers and local media have dubbed 'forgotten wealth.'" In 2021, the Parliamentary Integrity Committee estimated that up to $240 billion in public funds, including foreign assets, had been smuggled abroad or even embezzled .

He noted that "Iraqi lawmakers now estimate that at least 50 major assets abroad remain unaccounted for, believed to be worth between $80 and $90 billion, although some estimates put the value at as high as $100 billion." He added that "the news of the Iraqi oil refinery near Mogadishu has raised concerns among Iraqi lawmakers about the need to do more to address the state's neglected assets abroad. The House of Representatives has also called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take urgent steps to identify and recover foreign assets and investments ."

The report added, "While a special parliamentary investigation committee was formed to follow up on the issue and coordinate with relevant ministries, the Iraqi government launched a global search campaign and tasked a group of government agencies with verifying ownership, addressing legal obstacles, and facilitating its recovery. Meanwhile, the authorities launched a project to map historical assets to rebuild Iraq's foreign portfolio, drawing on embassy records and the expertise of retired diplomats. The ultimate goal of these steps is to prepare a comprehensive master list of state assets and direct diplomatic and legal efforts to recover them ."

He pointed to "major obstacles, including property disputes, as legal ownership documents may become ambiguous over time, or the occurrence of illegal sales, which will force Iraqi authorities to provide conclusive evidence for their cases before foreign courts," adding that "the situation has become more complicated with the loss or theft of original documents after the collapse of the regime in 2003. "

The report stated that "nullifying some unauthorized transactions may require lengthy legal battles. Iraq does not guarantee diplomatic cooperation from host countries, as some governments are believed to have shown reluctance or slowness in providing assistance. There are also complications related to the fact that some armed groups or informal settlers have occupied properties in the area," calling on Iraqi authorities to "press hard to regain control of foreign assets ."

“With federal government revenues estimated at 147.8 trillion Iraqi dinars ($123.2 billion) in 2024, more than 90% of which are oil revenues, recovering 10% of this lost wealth abroad could help bolster Iraq’s public budgets,” she explained. “This issue will test the seriousness of ongoing efforts in the coming months. If successful, Iraq will have succeeded in diversifying the economy and strengthening public confidence in governance. It will also signal a broader shift in how Iraq confronts its long and ongoing legacy of corruption and mismanagement .”   LINK

Trump-Powell Explodes, Why Slashing Rates Now Would be a Disaster

Trump-Powell Explodes, Why Slashing Rates Now Would be a Disaster

Daniela Cambone:  7-25-2025

In a world grappling with persistent inflation and market uncertainty, Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of BubbaTrading.com, has issued a striking forecast for gold, suggesting the precious metal could soar close to $4,000 by the end of 2025.

Today, in an insightful interview with Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading, Horwitz elaborated on his bullish stance, contending that gold and silver are far more than mere inflation hedges; they are essential “lifeboats” in an increasingly manipulated financial landscape.

According to Horwitz, the current inflationary pressures are not transient. “This inflation is not going away,” he asserted, painting a stark picture of an economic environment where the purchasing power of traditional currencies continues to erode.

He squarely placed accountability on the Federal Reserve, criticizing its interventions. “The Federal Reserve is doing everything but letting free markets work,” Horwitz stated, implying that the central bank’s actions are distorting natural market mechanisms and exacerbating underlying issues.

A significant concern for Horwitz is the potential for premature interest rate cuts. He issued a grave warning, suggesting that such a move could “destroy the market system as you know it.” In his view, the delicate balance of the financial system is at risk, and ill-timed policy decisions could trigger widespread instability.

In this climate of economic uncertainty and perceived market manipulation, Horwitz’s advice to average Americans is clear and resounding: seek refuge in real assets.

He passionately argued that only commodities like gold and silver can offer true protection against a “broken financial system.” For Horwitz, these precious metals aren’t just investments; they are fundamental safeguards against systemic vulnerabilities.

His projection for gold reaching near $4,000 is not just an optimistic outlook but a reflection of gold’s growing importance as a safe haven asset in an environment characterized by unchecked inflation and a lack of faith in institutional interventions.

As Horwitz sees it, the trajectory of gold is inextricably linked to the ongoing fragility of the global financial system.

For a deeper dive into Bubba Horwitz’s insights on market manipulation, the Federal Reserve’s policies, and the vital role of precious metals in safeguarding wealth, the full video from ITM Trading with Daniela Cambone is highly recommended.

The Dollar Is Doomed & Most Will Realize Too Late | Alasdair Macleod

Liberty and Finance:  7-25-2025

Dunagun Kaiser and Alasdair MacLeod discuss the current state and future outlook of precious metals like gold and silver in contrast to fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar.

MacLeod emphasizes that gold and silver are undervalued, especially when measured against a basket of industrial metals over the long term, suggesting significant potential for appreciation.

He explains that fiat currencies are losing purchasing power, a reality often recognized first by foreigners and last by domestic users who are accustomed to measuring wealth in their national currency.

The conversation also touches on new U.S. legislation, like the Genius Act, which promotes stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasury bills, while banning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), a move MacLeod believes undermines the global CBDC concept.

Ultimately, they advocate for physical assets as a safeguard against the ongoing debasement of credit-based fiat currencies, urging individuals to understand these shifts for personal financial preservation.

BRICS Tokenizes Gold - LFTV Ep 233

Kinesis Money:  7-25-2025

In this week’s Live from the Vault, Andrew Maguire exposes the seismic impact of BRICS quietly reshaping global trade - by bypassing the dollar with tokenised gold, decentralised systems and physical pricing, as Western media turns a blind eye.

With central banks hoarding gold off-market and BRICS-backed blockchain infrastructure enabling instant, tariff-proof settlement, physical supply is draining fast from synthetic markets, exposing the fragility of the West’s paper-driven pricing model.

Russia Dumps Dollars and Builds Alternative Gold Market - The Freedom Report

Kinesis Money:  7-24-2025

In this episode of The Freedom Report, Rob Kientz dives into Russia’s bold moves to reshape the global gold market—nationalizing major mines, launching a competing gold exchange, and ramping up trade with China.

With global distrust in Western gold pricing and increasing signs of de-dollarization, Kientz unpacks how Russia and its allies are leveraging gold to build economic independence and challenge U.S. monetary dominance.

As central banks accelerate domestic gold purchases and local refining capacity expands, a global shift is underway—one that threatens the supremacy of the dollar, the Treasury market, and the Western financial system itself.

For everyday investors, Kientz offers a sobering warning: the world is undeniably moving toward gold. The implications of this paradigm shift are profound, impacting everything from currency valuations to investment portfolios.

Those who ignore this accelerating trend may find themselves left behind in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. The future of global finance, Kientz suggests, could be denominated not in dollars, but in ounces of gold.

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World

$15,000 Gold Instantly! The Big Gold Revaluation Will SHOCK the World - Craig Hemke & Clive Thompson

Money Sense:  7-24-2025

Global financial experts Craig Hemke and Clive Thompson discuss the recent surge in precious metals and the growing speculation surrounding a potential gold revaluation.

Clive Thompson suggests gold could be revalued to 15,000 dollars, which would likely send silver prices soaring even more.

Thompson says revaluing gold to 15,000 dollars could raise 3.9 trillion dollars, 10% of US debt, without causing retail inflation. According to him, the new money would likely flow into assets like gold, stocks, and Bitcoin.

Three years ago, in May 2022, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted that by 2025, the interest cost of the National debt would rise from 8.3% of government receipts to 12.1%, a nearly 50% increase.

In fact, the actual figures are turning out much worse than the CBO's forecast.

In 1934, the Treasury realised a 2.8 billion dollars profit by revaluing gold. Once again, the same financial sleight of hand is under consideration, but this time on a much grander scale.

 In his outlook, Craig Hemke notes growing talk of gold revaluation, citing symbolic hints like a gold-themed White House post. He recalls Trump's past remarks about potentially remonetizing the US balance sheet by revaluing its official gold reserves.

Concurrently, Hemke compares gold revaluation to the "platinum coin" idea, saying it matters only if the US buys at the new price. If that happened, Thompson suggests this could let the US outpace China in gold reserves.

According to OCC Quarterly Reports, the Federal Reserve system holds over 54 billion dollars in non-compliant gold derivative contracts that would need to be unwound or properly collateralized under full Basel III implementation.

 Market expert Craig Hemke notes that freezing Russia's reserves and removing it from SWIFT prompted the BRICS to seek alternatives, fearing a similar action. He notes that this move has weakened global trust in the dollar as supply continues to rise.

Clive Thompson adds that US allies fear becoming "enemies overnight" amid Trump's trade accusations. This uncertainty is prompting nations to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

BRICS nations have been particularly aggressive in building gold reserves, with unofficial estimates suggesting that China alone may hold as much as 35,000 tons of gold within state-controlled banks, far exceeding their officially reported 2,292 tons.

 Similarly, Russia's true holdings are estimated to be closer to 12,000 tons rather than their officially reported 2,330 tons.
