End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

End of King Dollar, BRICS Gold Networks, CPI Lies, and the Great Reset Explained

The Market Sniper:  10-5-2025

The global financial system is not merely shifting; it is entering a phase of fundamental, seismic transformation.

For those paying close attention, the tremors beneath the surface—inflation, bank instability, and geopolitical maneuvering—signal the impending end of the fiat currency era initiated by the 1971 Nixon Shock.

In a recent, detailed conversation, Francis Hunt, The Market Sniper, sat down with financial analyst Bill Holter to dissect the escalating systemic risks. What follows is a summary of their stark, yet crucial, analysis covering everything from the mechanics of market failure to the necessary steps for personal preparedness.

Holter and Hunt paint a clear picture: the US dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency is nearing its conclusion. This is not driven by simple economic cycles but by a deliberate, geopolitical pivot.

The experts highlight the accelerating trend of nations, particularly the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and others), moving decisively away from the USD and toward a sound money paradigm backed by physical commodities and precious metals.

This shift signals the widespread loss of trust in unbacked fiat currencies. As central banks and major global players liquidate dollar assets, the demand for true, tangible wealth—physical gold and silver—soars.

Bill Holter provides crucial insights into the precious metals market, specifically silver. He details the dangerous disconnect between the paper derivatives market and the actual supply of physical metals.

A key indicator of systemic stress is the persistent “failure to deliver” in the silver market. This phenomenon suggests that the amount of paper silver traded and promised far exceeds the physical metal available, proving that the paper price is a manipulated fiction.

As nations demand physical settlement and retail investors recognize the paper manipulation, the pressure on the price of gold and silver will reach a tipping point, forcing a massive, rapid revaluation that reflects underlying real demand.

Key takeaway: Precious metals are not viewed as mere commodities by central banks anymore; they are the foundation of the next global monetary system.

One of the most insidious threats discussed is the deliberate manipulation of government statistics, particularly inflation data. By underreporting the true rate of inflation, governments obscure the actual pace at which fiat currency is losing purchasing power, lulling the public into a false sense of security.

However, the manipulation serves a greater purpose: preparing for the systemic collapse. Hunt and Holter explore the concept of the “Great Taking”—a systemic event that could manifest as government-driven asset confiscation, forced revaluation, or wealth taxes designed to resolve unpayable national debts.

When the financial system finally breaks, the integrity of contracts, property rights, and even basic public services will be jeopardized. This financial failure is projected to trigger a wave of societal consequences.

As a potential solution to a broken fiat system, governments worldwide are rapidly advancing plans for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Hunt and Holter view CBDCs not as an innovation, but as the ultimate tool of government control. In a collapse scenario, a CBDC would grant authorities unprecedented oversight over individual spending, saving, and movement. This digital currency acts as a lockbox, allowing for instant implementation of policies like negative interest rates, expiration dates on money, and even asset freezing linked to political behavior.

While the outlook presented by Holter and Hunt is grim regarding the current institutional structure, they close by emphasizing that this era of systemic collapse also represents a historic opportunity for those who are prepared.

The time for preparation is now. Ignoring the signals being broadcast across the global financial landscape is no longer an option.

For a complete and detailed analysis of these complex topics, including Bill Holter’s precise market observations and Francis Hunt’s strategic insights, we highly recommend watching the full video conversation available from The Market Sniper.

News, Rumors and Opinions Sunday 10-5-2025

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 5 Oct. 2025

Compiled Sun. 5 Oct. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

For those tracking the extraordinary shift in global finance and governance, the next two weeks are poised to rewrite history.

Sources confirm that the long-anticipated Global Currency Reset (GCR) is now actively underway, quietly ushering in a gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) just as the old fiat structure prepares for its final, dramatic collapse.

As we are repeatedly reminded, we are merely watching the end of a grand cinematic drama. The indicators are now accelerating, suggesting that the climax is imminent.

A fundamental requirement for the Global Currency Reset has long been global stability. According to reports, President Trump now holds seven major peace deals, fulfilling the prerequisite for the world to transition to asset-backed currencies.

The true kingpin in this global shift—the Iraqi Dinar—has been (allegedly) confirmed to have revalued.

Iraq’s celebration of its National Day, recently extended for a full week (beginning Sat. Oct 4, 2025), is interpreted by experts as the public acknowledgment of their monetary reform completion. This celebration  (allegedly) anchors the start of the final phase.

With Iraq’s Dinar (allegedly)  revalued and bond holders reportedly receiving payments, attention turns to Tier 4b—the currency and bond holders awaiting exchange appointments.

Three high-level sources suggest that notifications to set these crucial appointments could be delivered as early as Monday, October 5, or Tuesday, October 6, 2025. This movement confirms that the system is ready for the public to participate in the greatest wealth transfer in history.

The period between October 13th and 15th is widely anticipated to be the breaking point for the globalist-controlled fiat system, signaling the necessary transition for GESARA to officially take effect.

Experts are warning of a significant banking and market collapse around this date. This event is not viewed as a disaster by the White Hats, but rather a necessary cessation of the corrupt financial structure.

While the Stock Market craters, the backbone of modern finance—the SWIFT Global Banking System—will meet its end. However, the world will not be left in chaos: 209 countries  (allegedly) already have banks connected to the new asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS).

This date has been designated as World Quantum Day, the moment when the foundational laws of NESARA/GESARA are anticipated to become official globally.

A full banking and market collapse on Wednesday, the 15th, is expected to trigger the long-awaited activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).

Once the EBS signals with the sound of Seven Trumpets, citizens can expect to receive key personal messages via the Starlink Satellite System regarding their next steps—including instructions for scheduling Redemption Center appointments, (allegedly) utilizing future Med Bed treatments, and secure quantum voting protocols.

Beneath the drama of the market collapse, the foundation for extraordinary economic reform—GESARA—has  (allegedly) been put into play.

On October 1, 2025, President Trump reportedly launched a $150 trillion financial operation via the National Endowment Directive. This act unlocks vast mineral assets (Gold, Silver, Rare Earths) sealed away for decades beneath U.S. federal land—resources valued at more than the GDP of every nation combined.

The QFS, running node by node through secure Starlink satellites, ensures that all new transactions are transparent, incorruptible, and tied to true asset value, officially ending the reign of the Deepstate Cabal’s economic empire.

We are told the silent preparation phase of this monumental shift is over. The moment is here.

As the old structure crumbles, the new one—built on gold, transparency, and abundance—is (allegedly)  fully operational. For those involved in the physical currency exchanges, prepare for your notification between October 5th and 6th. For all citizens, prepare for the EBS, which is the signal that the QFS and NESARA/GESARA are officially rolling out worldwide.

The game of scarcity, debt, and dependency is  (allegedly) over. We are entering a new paradigm enforced by asset-backed currency and quantum technology, bringing justice and prosperity back to the people.

Militia Man  You have an extension to a one day holiday with a long weekend attached to it.  You can’t make this stuff up…Basically national day extended for a week…  Sudani’s directive extends to manifestations of a celebration for a full week through October 10th…Article quote:  “This is unusual and the standard is a single day off.”  Adding that extra time is obviously a move on purpose…They’ll be able to have cultural shows, military parades.  They’ll have sovereignty emphasis.

Nothing Bullwinkle.  You have to have watched Rocky the flying squirrel to know what that means.  Never mind.  He went from 3 days to 7 days.  We’re not stupid…There is nothing to celebrate at 1310.  Quit playing with us.

China Plans 4 New Gold Hubs as it Moves Forward With Global Reset

China Plans 4 New Gold Hubs as it Moves Forward With Global Reset

Daniela Cambone:  10-3-2025

“The global financial order is tilting—and it’s not going to stop,” says Dr. Nomi Prins, former Goldman Sachs managing director and bestselling author of Collusion.

With the Shanghai Gold Exchange launching offshore vaults in Hong Kong, Singapore, Zurich, and Dubai, Prins calls it a “time zone tilt, a geographical tilt, a power tilt” that shifts gold—and power—away from the West.

“This is about redistricting the globe around the hard currency of gold,” she explains. “Central banks are diversifying away from the dollar, and gold is now the second most held reserve asset worldwide, ahead of the euro.

China has been carefully sequencing this strategy for over a decade.” As gold surges toward $4,500 and silver gains momentum, Prins sees the East tightening its grip: “More nations are moving their gold away from London and into Shanghai or Singapore.

That takes supply off the market, lifts prices higher, and creates an entirely new power base.”

$1T Gold Reserve Signals Official U.S. Revaluation

$1T Gold Reserve Signals Official U.S. Revaluation

Taylor Kenny:  10-2-2025

The U.S. gold reserve has just crossed the $1 trillion mark as gold prices surge past $3,800 per ounce. What does this mean for the dollar, global markets, and a potential official U.S. gold revaluation?

 The whispers are growing louder, and they’re emanating from the hallowed halls of finance and even catching the attention of main stream media. A topic once relegated to niche economic circles – the potential for an official U.S. gold revaluation – is now a prominent discussion point.

A recent video from ITM Trading, featuring Taylor Kenney, delves into the accelerating momentum behind this idea, and the implications are, to put it mildly, monumental.

As of October 1st, 2025, the gold market is painting a dramatic picture. Prices have already surged by nearly 50% year-to-date, pushing the shimmering metal towards the astonishing mark of $4,000 per ounce.

This isn’t just a speculative bubble; it’s a symptom of deeper shifts in the global monetary landscape.

And at the heart of this conversation lies an often-overlooked asset: the United States’ gargantuan gold reserves.

Imagine this: the U.S. government, holding the world’s largest official gold reserves, has them on its balance sheet valued at a staggering – and frankly, absurd – $42.22 per ounce.

This price hasn’t budged since 1973. Now, consider the immediate financial impact if these reserves were to be revalued at current market prices. It wouldn’t just add a few dollars; it would instantly inject over a trillion dollars into the U.S. Treasury’s balance sheet.

But here’s where it gets even more compelling: the revaluation price could very well be significantly higher than the current spot price, amplifying that fiscal boost exponentially.

This isn’t uncharted territory for the U.S. History buffs will recall President Roosevelt’s bold move in 1933. After confiscating gold bullion, he revalued it from $20.67 to $35 an ounce. While this effectively enriched the government, it also devalued the purchasing power of those holding paper currency.

 The ITM Trading video offers a crucial caveat: a similar revaluation today wouldn’t be a magic wand to fix all of America’s economic woes. However, its consequences for the U.S. dollar and the global monetary system would be profound and far-reaching.

The bedrock of the current global financial system – the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency – is showing cracks. Across the globe, trust in fiat currencies is eroding. This has led to a surge in demand for physical gold, not just from retail investors but also from central banks and institutional players. Adding fuel to this fire is the increasing scarcity of physical gold.

Practices like rehypothecation, where multiple claims are made on the same physical gold, have created a genuine shortage, further driving up demand and, consequently, prices.

The Federal Reserve is no longer on the sidelines of this discussion. They are actively exploring gold revaluation models, taking inspiration from countries like Germany, Italy, and South Africa, which have undertaken similar revaluations in recent decades.

 While revaluing the U.S. gold reserves to the current spot price might seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the nation’s colossal debt, experts suggest the U.S. could choose a revaluation price far exceeding spot to maximize its fiscal advantage.

The potential fallout from such a revaluation is staggering. It would effectively establish a much higher, undeniable floor for gold prices globally. This could accelerate the ongoing shift away from the U.S. dollar as the dominant reserve currency, prompting other nations to further their de-dollarization efforts.

The implications could include the end of dollar dominance, a meteoric rise in interest rates, rampant inflation, and a significant decline in living standards for many. In such a scenario, ownership of physical gold would transition from a strategic investment to a critical tool for wealth preservation.

The message from ITM Trading is clear and urgent: don’t wait for the revaluation to happen. The time to prepare is now. This means securing physical gold and silver.

Understanding the different types of gold available and partnering with trusted dealers is paramount. To help navigate these complex waters, ITM Trading is offering a free guide on gold and silver, designed to equip investors with the knowledge needed to protect their wealth in an increasingly uncertain economic future.

Gold/Crypto To Replace Dollar Hegemony? | Rick Rule, Alasdair Macleod, Andy Schectman (Part 2)

Liberty and Finance:  10-1-2025

In part 2 of this panel discussion, Andy Schectman explains how BRICS Pay, multi‑jurisdictional gold vaults, and central bank digital currencies are creating a settlement system outside the dollar, eroding dollar dominance and enabling gold as a key global standard.

Alasdair MacLeod warns this shift points toward a Bretton Woods‑style system anchored in gold, dismisses cryptocurrencies as a speculative mania, and urges moving out of credit and into real money.

Rick Rule stresses that while the dollar will remain the world’s reserve currency for the foreseeable future, the next decade will be difficult for the unprepared, and he advocates owning assets one understands, especially gold and precious metals.

Together they call for reducing exposure to the U.S. dollar, diversifying into real assets, and adapting strategies to survive and thrive in a changing global monetary landscape.

Gold-Backed Currency, How China’s Yuan Could End Cheap Manufacturing

Gold-Backed Currency, How China’s Yuan Could End Cheap Manufacturing

As Good As Gold:  10-1-2025

Imagine a world where the global economic rules are being rewritten, not with abstract financial policies, but with something as tangible and ancient as gold.

This is the intriguing scenario explored in a recent video from As Good As Gold, which delves into the potential implications if China decides to back its currency, the yuan, with gold or adopt a gold standard.

The immediate question that springs to mind for anyone tracking global trade is: Wouldn’t a gold-backed yuan make Chinese manufacturing significantly more expensive, thus hurting its export competitiveness?

It’s a valid concern. Currently, the yuan operates under a fiat system, often kept relatively cheap to support exports.

The expert in the As Good As Gold video confirms that, indeed, if the yuan were backed by gold, its value would strengthen. A gold-backed currency is inherently more stable and robust compared to fiat currencies, which can be prone to inflation and devaluation. This appreciation would, by definition, raise the cost of Chinese manufactured goods in international markets.

However, the expert argues that this cost increase will not be the fatal blow to China’s manufacturing might that many might assume. Here’s why China appears to have a strategic advantage already in play:

Unlike historical examples such as Japan, which faced significant challenges and diversified production abroad when a stronger yen made its exports less competitive, China has been playing a different long game.

Through initiatives like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, China has meticulously cultivated a massive, captive market encompassing an astonishing 70-80% of the global population.

This strategic market dominance means that even if the yuan appreciates due to gold backing, China can sustain its exports within this vast bloc. Many countries within the SCO and BRICS are increasingly open to trading in yuan or gold-backed currencies, effectively bypassing the Western fiat currency system and its potential vulnerabilities.

Beyond strategic alliances, China also boasts inherent strengths that provide a buffer against currency appreciation. Its advanced technology, particularly in consumer electronics, gives it a competitive edge that reduces sensitivity to currency fluctuations.

Furthermore, even with an appreciating yuan, China’s baseline manufacturing costs are still substantially lower than those in the West.

This significant margin provides considerable room to absorb the impact of a stronger yuan without completely pricing itself out of the market. Essentially, they have a larger cost cushion than many competitors.

A crucial element of China’s long-term strategy, as highlighted by the expert, is anticipating the potential instability of Western fiat currencies. Should these currencies face significant devaluation or collapse, the demand for Chinese exports paid in those currencies would naturally diminish.

In such a scenario, China’s gold-backed yuan and its large, strategically cultivated internal market through alliances like BRICS would act as a powerful economic shield, protecting its interests and ensuring continued trade on its own terms.

The discussion also touches upon the implications for other major players, such as Australia, the world’s third-largest gold producer.

If a new global trading system emerges based on gold or gold-backed yuan, Australia might find it increasingly difficult to sell its gold externally within the traditional Western financial framework. This could have significant economic impacts for Australia, forcing it to reassess its trade relationships.

In essence, the expert from As Good As Gold believes that China’s potential move towards a gold-backed currency isn’t a hasty reaction, but rather the culmination of years of meticulous long-term planning.

This strategy has already accounted for the evolving global trade dynamics, potential shifts in manufacturing costs, and the vulnerabilities of the current fiat system.

China’s strategic market alliances, technological superiority, and cost advantages are not merely mitigating factors; they are foundational pillars designed to ensure its economic resilience and continued global influence, even as it potentially ushers in a new era of gold-backed trade. This isn’t just about currency; it’s about a potential tectonic shift in global economic power structures.

Countries are Canceling Treasuries for Gold as US Revaluation Panic Grows

Countries are Canceling Treasuries for Gold as US Revaluation Panic Grows

Sean Foo:   9-20-2025

For decades, the US dollar has stood as the undisputed monarch of global finance, its status as the world’s primary reserve currency underpinning stability and shaping international trade. But what if this reign is quietly approaching its twilight?

A compelling video from Sean Foo offers a deep dive into the accelerating “de-dollarization” trend, painting a picture of a world on the cusp of a profound economic shift.

Sean Foo highlights that the erosion of the dollar’s dominance isn’t a sudden event, but rather the cumulative effect of several powerful forces. Geopolitical tensions, particularly the rising friction between major powers, have incentivized nations to seek alternatives to the dollar-centric system.

Add to this the disruptive force of trade wars – vividly exemplified by the Trump Administration’s tariffs – which have fractured established supply chains and cooled international demand for the dollar.

Simultaneously, persistent fiscal mismanagement within the US, leading to ballooning deficits, has further undermined confidence. When a nation’s financial house isn’t in order, the stability of its currency comes under scrutiny on the global stage.

This isn’t just theoretical; it’s playing out in real-time. China, for instance, is actively spearheading the shift by increasingly conducting its trade and financial transactions in its own currency, the renminbi (RMB), rather than the US dollar.

This move, accelerated by the very trade wars intended to pressure China, demonstrates a strategic pivot away from dollar dependency.

The impact is palpable. The US economy itself is showing signs of instability – think payroll declines, delayed economic data, and increasingly erratic government behavior – all of which erode investor confidence.

 The numbers don’t lie: the dollar index plummeted nearly 11% in the first half of 2025, marking its worst performance since the historic collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973. This is not merely a dip; it’s a tremor.

Amidst this weakening dollar and a landscape of rising tariffs and projected $2 trillion fiscal deficits in 2025, central banks worldwide are doing something significant. They are actively reducing their holdings of US Treasuries – long considered the world’s safest asset – and conspicuously increasing their gold reserves.

Gold, the ancient store of value, is re-emerging as the preferred safe haven, signaling a historic shift in global financial strategy.

Interestingly, Sean Foo also explores a drastic measure the US government could take: a gold revaluation. Given the vast disparity between the book value and market value of US gold reserves, such a move could unlock nearly $1 trillion in liquidity. This “easy money” could provide short-term relief for US fiscal and monetary policy, fueling inflation-driven GDP growth.

However, this path is fraught with peril. A gold revaluation would be an implicit admission of the dollar’s fragile condition, potentially accelerating its decline.

Furthermore, it could unintentionally strengthen China’s financial position, as China is rumored to hold vast, potentially underreported, gold reserves. The US faces a challenging dilemma: embrace this short-term liquidity and risk undermining the dollar’s long-term status, or avoid it and battle escalating fiscal crises head-on.

The implications of these shifts are profound. We are witnessing a historic recalibration of global reserves, a re-evaluation of dollar holdings, and a resurgence of gold’s role in the new economic landscape. For investors, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the future of money, understanding these dynamics is crucial.

The world is moving on from a singular reliance on the US dollar. The question is no longer if things are changing, but how fast, and what the ultimate destination will be.
