Missouri has enacted a sweeping Constitutional Money Actthat gives gold and silver legal-tender status.
The law also provides protections against state-assisted confiscation, allows employers and employees to agree to compensation in gold and silver, and requires the state to accept certain electronic gold and silver transfers for taxes and services.
Patrick Holland of the Missouri Freedom Initiative explains how grassroots pressure helped overcome political obstacles and why he believes Missouri’s framework could serve as a model for other states.
He also discusses the emerging infrastructure for everyday gold and silver transactions, potential counterfeiting and fraud risks, and why he believes private-market solutions are preferable to state regulation.
Holland urges citizens in other states to study Missouri’s law and work with their own legislators to pursue similar sound-money legislation.

China Just Triggered the Biggest Gold and Silver Rally in 50 Years: Luke Groman
Slick Finance: 9-5-2026
The global financial landscape is experiencing a profound transformation, characterized by a steady shift away from traditional dollar-centric foreign exchange reserves.
As nations reevaluate their monetary strategies in an increasingly interconnected yet fractured world, a new global monetary dynamic is taking shape. At the center of this evolution is the enduring appeal of gold, which is rapidly emerging as the preferred neutral reserve asset for sovereign entities seeking stability, security, and independence from legacy financial systems.
China Just Triggered the Biggest Gold and Silver Rally in 50 Years: Luke Groman

The global financial landscape is experiencing a profound transformation, characterized by a steady shift away from traditional dollar-centric foreign exchange reserves.
As nations reevaluate their monetary strategies in an increasingly interconnected yet fractured world, a new global monetary dynamic is taking shape. At the center of this evolution is the enduring appeal of gold, which is rapidly emerging as the preferred neutral reserve asset for sovereign entities seeking stability, security, and independence from legacy financial systems.
Over the past several years, notable shifts have occurred in currency valuations relative to precious metals. For instance, the Chinese yuan has experienced a dramatic depreciation when measured against gold.
This movement reflects a much broader, strategic pivot away from reliance on the US dollar and toward a vision of yuan internationalization that is fundamentally anchored by gold.
Financial analysts, including noted macroeconomic commentator Luke Gromen, have highlighted this ongoing transition. While digital assets like Bitcoin continue to show immense promise for the future of finance, gold’s significantly lower volatility currently cements its position as the dominant choice for sovereign reserve diversification among central banks and major global players.
This changing architecture highlights a stark contrast in international economic strategies. Historically, the prevailing global system relied heavily on the United States’ ability to recycle foreign-held dollars back into domestic treasury securities.
In contrast, China’s evolving financial framework points toward a system where creditors are incentivized through gold-backed mechanisms.
In this alternative model, even amidst domestic deflationary pressures, creditors can confidently utilize their yuan holdings to purchase substantial goods and services directly within China, reshaping traditional trade and reserve dynamics.
Concurrently, fiscal and monetary pressures within the United States are mounting toward critical junctures. Driven largely by escalating entitlement obligations and rapidly rising debt servicing costs, the federal fiscal trajectory faces severe stress. To address these compounding challenges, policymakers are increasingly discussing radical potential responses. Among the strategies under consideration are massive treasury buybacks and comprehensive debt restructuring through short-term paper instruments. Intriguingly, some proposals suggest these instruments could potentially be supported by heavily regulated stablecoins operating at artificially low interest rates.
While implementing such aggressive monetary measures might successfully avert an immediate fiscal collapse, it would come with significant long-term consequences. Most notably, this approach risks drastically escalating inflation and fundamentally altering the mechanics of traditional bond markets.
As these large-scale transformations unfold across the international stage, the traditional divide between economic winners and losers is bound to shift. Rather than benefiting legacy financial institutions and governmental elites, the new monetary order anchored by gold suggests a profound redistribution of wealth and economic power, potentially favoring industrial sectors and the broader middle class.

The Dutch central bank is moving gold reserves toward Londonand spreading its holdings across multiple locations, explicitly citing crisis preparedness and describing gold as an “anchor of trust” and an ultimate reserve asset for hedging extreme systemic risks.
Thompson also discusses the extreme volatility in gold and silver, shrinking silver inventories, rising industrial demand, and why even a small shift of capital from the enormous global bond market into gold could have an outsized impact on prices.
He warns that a future bond-market crisis could force central banks to intervene and create new money, potentially triggering a major surge in gold.
Thompson also shares what investors should watch now, including central-bank gold buying, Treasury bond disinvestment, stock-market weakness, and signs that capital is beginning to rotate toward precious metals.

America's Dollar Was Backed by Gold Until 1971 — Why Everything Costs More Now
America's Dollar Was Backed by Gold Until 1971 — Why Everything Costs More Now
August 2026
In 1971, President Nixon went on live television and made a decision that changed the value of your money forever. He suspended the dollar's convertibility into gold — a move he called "temporary." It's now lasted over fifty years.
Before that night, every US dollar was backed by physical gold sitting in a vault. The world's currencies were anchored to the dollar, and the dollar was anchored to gold at a fixed rate.
America's Dollar Was Backed by Gold Until 1971 — Why Everything Costs More Now
August 2026
In 1971, President Nixon went on live television and made a decision that changed the value of your money forever. He suspended the dollar's convertibility into gold — a move he called "temporary." It's now lasted over fifty years.
Before that night, every US dollar was backed by physical gold sitting in a vault. The world's currencies were anchored to the dollar, and the dollar was anchored to gold at a fixed rate.
It was a promise made at Bretton Woods in 1944 by 44 nations coming out of World War II. That promise held the global economy together for nearly three decades.
But behind the scenes, cracks were forming. America was spending beyond its means — funding wars, expanding social programs, and flooding the world with more dollars than it had gold to back.
France's President de Gaulle called it out publicly and sent warships to collect French gold from New York. Other nations started getting nervous. A full-scale run on the dollar was underway. On August 15, 1971, Nixon closed the gold window.
The dollar was no longer tied to anything tangible. And what followed reshaped the cost of everything — housing, food, gas, education, healthcare.
The dollar has since lost roughly 87% of its purchasing power. A dollar today buys about 12 cents worth of what it could in 1971.
This video traces the full story — from the Bretton Woods Agreement to the collapse of the gold standard, the birth of the petrodollar system with Saudi Arabia, the explosion of the US money supply, and why your paycheck never seems to stretch far enough.
This isn't just economic history. This is the hidden story behind every price tag you see today.

Monetary RESET Has Begun, But “Performance Gold” Could Be the Biggest Opportunity | Ronald Stöeferle
Miles Franklin Media: 9-1-2026
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, interviews Ronald-Peter Stöferle, Managing Partner and Fund Manager at Incrementum and co-author of the annual In Gold We Trust report.
Stöferle explains why gold is undergoing a “creeping remonetization,” driven by central-bank accumulation, geopolitical fragmentation and growing concerns over the global monetary system. He argues that gold’s bull market is not yet in a bubble and reveals why $8,900 gold is now his new base case after his previous $4,800 target was reached ahead of schedule.

He argues that gold’s bull market is not yet in a bubble and reveals why $8,900 gold is now his new base case after his previous $4,800 target was reached ahead of schedule.
The conversation also examines sovereign debt, inflation, de-dollarization and the changing role of gold as a neutral global reserve asset. Stöferle explains why Western institutional investors remain significantly underallocated to gold and why a shift in institutional capital could become an important driver of the next phase of the bull market.
He also discusses silver and mining equities as higher-beta opportunities, the potential role of Bitcoin and commodities in a diversified portfolio, and why the global monetary system could undergo a major reorganization in the years ahead. In this episode of The Real Story:

Liberty and Finance: 8-29-2026
Mario Innecco warns that the Federal Reserve may be far less capable of fighting inflation than its rhetoric suggests, arguing that changing CPI methodology masks the true erosion of purchasing power.
He discusses the possibility of the Treasury revaluing U.S. gold to generate roughly $1 trillion that could potentially be used for Treasury buybacks and yield-curve control.

He discusses the possibility of the Treasury revaluing U.S. gold to generate roughly $1 trillion that could potentially be used for Treasury buybacks and yield-curve control.
Mario also suggests that the apparent conflict between Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could be “theater” designed to manage public perception while policymakers deal with mounting debt and financial instability.
Drawing parallels to the financial disruption surrounding World War I, he warns that a major geopolitical conflict could severely disrupt markets and make physical gold and silver an important form of protection against financial chaos.
He also remains bullish on gold, silver and mining stocks, while arguing that sanctions and the weaponization of the dollar may be accelerating de-dollarization and encouraging foreign central banks to turn toward gold.

She explains that while the U.S. market is often driven by "paper" contracts and traders, global trends are shifting toward physical markets, which she believes will lead to truer price discovery based on actual supply and demand.
The discussion covers several practical topics for precious metals investors:
Market Mechanics: The difference between Western "paper" markets and Eastern physical-focused markets.
Financial Tools: An explanation of "Glint," a Mastercard backed by physical gold, and the concept of arbitrage.
Strategic Decisions: Why Lynette chooses to hold a small mortgage to potentially pay it off with devalued currency after a reset, rather than paying it off now.
Gold-to-Silver Ratios: Analyzing how these ratios shift during hyperinflation and why silver often outperforms gold in the early stages.
Confiscation Concerns: A historical look at gold confiscation in the U.S. and why it’s often executed through "covert" means like inflation and taxation rather than door-to-door seizures.
Lynette emphasizes the importance of a sound money strategy to protect purchasing power and standard of living during economic transitions.

We NEED A Gold Standard To Survive | Alasdair Macleod
Money Markets and more by Dominic Frisby: 8-23-2026
In this latest Money Markets and More, I sit down with monetary analyst Alasdair Macleod to discuss gold, fiat currency and why he believes we are rapidly approaching a point at which the monetary system as we know it can no longer survive without a return to gold.
Alasdair has spent decades studying financial markets, monetary history and the role of gold, and his argument is uncompromising: gold is money; pounds, dollars and euros are credit.
He believes confidence in fiat currencies is approaching breaking point and goes as far as to predict that the present system could be dead within the next 18 months.
In his view, any currency that hopes to survive what comes next will ultimately have to become a credible substitute for gold through a proper gold standard.
From there, our conversation ranges from sterling, government debt and the fragility of bond markets to Japan, China and what a 21st-century gold standard might actually look like.
We discuss why Alasdair believes gold should be treated as the unit of account rather than something whose value is measured in depreciating currencies, why government debt eventually threatens the currencies supporting it, and why, if I gave him £100,000 today, his answer would simply be: gold.

Retail sales just plunged, producer prices are still rising, and the Fed is quietly expanding its balance sheet again.
The July data tells the story the markets keep ignoring. Retail sales fell 0.6 percent, the biggest drop in over a year, and since those numbers are not adjusted for inflation, real spending fell even further.

The July data tells the story the markets keep ignoring. Retail sales fell 0.6 percent, the biggest drop in over a year, and since those numbers are not adjusted for inflation, real spending fell even further.
Consumer sentiment sank to 51 as households braced for 4.3 percent inflation, more than double the Fed's 2 percent target. Producer prices rose 4.7 percent year over year, and instead of rallying on the weak data, the bond market sold off to its lowest weekly close of the year, with the 30-year at 5.27 percent.
Meanwhile the Fed expanded its balance sheet by more than 21 billion dollars in two weeks, with the national debt about 80 billion dollars away from 40 trillion.
Peter marks 55 years since Nixon closed the gold window and calls it what it was: a 100 percent default on America's creditors.
His father Irwin testified against removing gold backing in 1968, and the 1970s proved him right. Now the sequel is underway.
The world is going off the dollar standard the way America went off gold, and the next leg down in the American standard of living has already started. Gold near 4,400 dollars and silver above 66 are the market's verdict.
