BRICS Made a Crushing Blow to the US Economy

BRICS Made a Crushing Blow to the US Economy

Tech Revolution:   7-15-2025

For over a century, American banks have been the undisputed architects and arbiters of global finance. They’ve sat at the center, clearing trades, processing capital flows, and – crucially – writing the rules.

But a seismic shift is underway, one that threatens to fundamentally redraw the global economic map and deliver what many are calling a “crushing blow” to US financial hegemony.

On July 3rd, the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) officially unveiled a new international finance platform designed to decouple developing economies from their reliance on the US dollar and Western financial institutions.

At its core are two groundbreaking initiatives: a global guarantee mechanism administered by the New Development Bank (NDB) and a real-time, multi-currency payment system dubbed BRICS Pay.

The New Development Bank’s new global guarantee mechanism is a direct challenge to the established order. Designed to underwrite loans and investment projects, this mechanism allows deals to proceed without relying on U.S. dollars, U.S. ratings agencies, or U.S.-based institutions like the IMF or World Bank.

In practical terms, this means that major infrastructure, energy, and logistics projects between BRICS countries and their partners can now be executed without ever touching the Western banking system.

 The system utilizes local currencies, is backed by multilateral reserves, and has already been successfully applied to at least five cross-border projects in transport and raw materials, according to senior NDB officials.

Traditionally, large international deals involving developing nations required some level of approval or financial support from U.S.-aligned institutions or private insurers clearing deals through financial hubs like New York or London.

 The BRICS model eradicates this dependency. For instance, if a Brazilian company seeks to finance a port construction in Egypt, the deal can now be denominated in Brazilian reais and Egyptian pounds, backed by the NDB, with absolutely no role for U.S. banks or intermediaries.

 This initiative directly weakens a core pillar of American financial leverage: the indispensable role of U.S. banks as default channels for global capital movement.

In parallel with the Guarantee Fund, BRICS states are actively testing BRICS Pay, a revolutionary real-time, multi-currency payment system built on blockchain infrastructure

. This system is designed to facilitate direct payments between the national banks of China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa, with Egypt and the UAE expected to join later this year.

Unlike SWIFT, which routes messages and transactions through Western-controlled nodes, BRICS Pay is entirely independent of U.S. or European infrastructure.

 This independence is not theoretical; the system has already facilitated small-scale tests in bilateral trade between Russia and China.

 In 2024 alone, Russia and China processed over $100 billion in non-dollar trade using local currency accounts, demonstrating the viability of this model. BRICS Pay scales that success, offering countries a new way to settle trade in non-dollar currencies without relying on U.S. clearinghouses or correspondent banks.

 For U.S. financial institutions that profit immensely from transaction fees, dollar clearing, and settlement services, BRICS Pay represents a clear and present threat to their long-term global exposure and influence.

Together, these initiatives form a formidable two-pronged assault on the existing financial world order.

The BRICS alliance is not merely making a symbolic statement; they are building a parallel financial architecture designed to fundamentally reshape global capital flows. This shift isn’t about minor adjustments; it’s a structural reorientation of the global economy away from its longstanding dependence on the US dollar and Western financial institutions.

The implications for the U.S. economy are profound. As more nations adopt these alternative systems, the demand for dollar liquidity could diminish, impacting everything from interest rates to the financing of US debt.

The era of undisputed American financial hegemony, even under the watch of administrations past and present, is being openly challenged.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Tues. 15 July 2025

Compiled Tues. 15 July 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Mon. 14 July 2025: BREAKING! WHITE HATS LAUNCH FINAL GLOBAL STING OPERATION … on Telegram

The war for Earth has reached its final stage.

Behind the scenes – as of July 11, 2025 – a military operation of biblical scale is unfolding.

All of it is being processed into GESARA redistribution.

Next phase: GESARA wealth flows to the people. QFS erases debt forever.

Mon. 14 July 2025 EBS AND NESARA ARE ABOUT TO GO LIVE! …Mr. Pool on Telegram

Trump’s team is quietly (allegedly) enforcing NESARA, but the media is not reporting on it. The IRS Chief suddenly quits, the global banking system starts to fall apart, and the Quantum Financial System (QFS) is secretly taking back the people’s stolen wealth!

NESARA is (allegedly) here now: Everything changed in 2025. The system they defend is falling apart right in front of your eyes, even though the media screams “conspiracy” and financial “experts” deny it. NESARA isn’t a suggestion; it’s a global restructuring that’s already (allegedly) happening with the help of the military.

They told you the IRS was stable, but their CIO disappeared without a word. No comment. No substitute. The truth? The IRS is falling apart from the inside. The end of income tax is required by NESARA.

Trump’s first act when he got back into office was to bring back tariffs and trade backed by gold. This was the start of the takedown.

As central banks fail, countries get rid of their treasuries and stockpile gold, the IMF falls apart, and SWIFT quietly shuts down.

THE QFS IS LIVE RIGHT NOW The Quantum Financial System is(allegedly)  up and running, not just a test. Safe from Space Force. Safe by blockchain. Keeping an eye on all transactions around the world.

The market for stocks? A lot of smoke and mirrors. The real change in finances is going on quietly behind the scenes.

TRUMP KNEW – TRUMP IS LEADING Trump didn’t come back to “govern”; he(allegedly)  came back to end the old world order. Every order from the president. Every military job. All of the gold alliances. All of this is part of the NESARA protocol.

WHAT NESARA (allegedly) REALLY MEANS: No more income tax. Forgiveness of global debt. Currencies backed by gold and other assets. Universal Basic Income (UBI) funded by seized elite assets. Quantum Access Cards for financial freedom.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Stop using centralized banks. Keep real gold and silver. Find out more about Redemption Centers. Get ready for communications blackouts. Get rid of media programming in your head.

Frank26   Many of you may say, 'Well, Frank, ISO is nothing big.'   Yes it is.  Many of you may say every bank have to go ISO.  Yeah they do, don't they?  When has Iraq done it?  What if they did?  That means they want to do some international stuff to accomplish.  If you're going international there's a good chance you might increase the value of your currency because you're not going to do a lot of business outside with a low rate.  Ask Vietnam...I don't think Iraq wants to go through that.

Frank26  Donald Trump wants the Iraqi dinar to change its exchange rate.  IMO the whole world knows what the tariffs are for, to adjust your exchange rate...Anybody that is willing to sit down and talk with Trump will get a sweet deal.  Iraq will also get a sweet deal. So will Vietnam.  Just raise the value of your currency...and stop taking advantage of the American dollar through your trade.

Militia Man   Article quote:   "...The policies of the United States Federal Reserve still casts a shadow over market activity and could lead to potential changes towards an increase in the exchange rate in the future.  Any external escalation or sudden challenges or change in global monetary policies could quickly reflect in the financial markets in Iraq"   This 
is true to me what they're saying, an exchange rate could happen in a moment's notice.  It should not be surprising whatsoever...A revaluation is in the wind...

Is the Price of Silver About to Go Vertical? Mike Maloney & Alan Hibbard

7-15-2025

In this episode of the Gold & Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down a massive “cup and handle” pattern forming across multiple timeframes—6‑month, quarterly, and annual—forecasting a possible silver breakout into the $300–$500+ per ounce range (yes, really).

 From historic parallels to the 1970s bull run, you’ll see how current price action mirrors volatile, vertical gains—complete with confirmation signals across key charts.

Discover why silver may need to hit $200–$468 (or more) just to reclaim its inflation-adjusted purchasing power, and how it could unleash hyper-bullish momentum in the final sprint.

Finally! An IQD RV Rumor That May Be Valid

Edu Matrix:  7-15-2025

The United States has issued a serious warning to Iraq: stop the illegal smuggling of Iranian oil or face harsh consequences.

 The U.S. may freeze over *$350 million* in Iraqi oil revenue and impose sanctions on Iraq’s main oil company, **SOMO**. This comes as U.S. officials uncover a secret network involving Iranian crude, foreign oil tankers, and companies across **Turkey, the UAE, and Hong Kong**—all allegedly tied to Iran’s **Revolutionary Guard Quds Force**.

But that's not all. The U.S. is also sounding the alarm about **Iranian-backed militias operating inside Iraq**, accusing them of fueling violence and instability.

The pressure is building fast, with Washington demanding that Iraq rein in these armed groups before tensions spiral out of control.

Prime Minister Sudani just met with U.S. officials in Baghdad as the world watches closely.

Will Iraq choose the U.S. or Iran?

 This is more than just oil—this is about power, politics, and peace in the Middle East.

 Don’t miss the full breakdown of this geopolitical showdown.

Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ, 07/15/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Terrific Tuesday morning,

Member: Happy Halfway Through 2025 ~ 6 months gone, what will we do with the rest of this year?

Member: Please please, pretty please Mark tell us some outstanding news. I really need something positive in my life right now

MZ: A friend of the podcast has a friend that is in charge of software rollouts at one of the biggest banks in America. One of the top three banks…….They had to work nonstop at updating software ever since Trump and the US struck the Iranian nuclear facilities. They were not working on it until that happened.

MZ: So they have been non stop updating software at this world leading bank. They are being told its because Iran will retaliate by taking out our banking infrastructure. That is the cover. They did not even get the 4th of July off due to updating equipment and software and hardware… Isn’t that interesting?

MZ:Z It could also be a cover or key time for putting in the QFS ect……..

MZ: I received this one a few days ago…but since I am inundated with so many emails I missed it. I really regret missing this one

MZ: “I walked into a “regional” bank and asked the teller if this location had a DelARue machine. She quickly passed me on to the bank manager. The manager scooted me into her office and closed the door. She asked why I would be needing one and I said I would be participating in the upcoming currency exchanges and wondering if your tellers were trained?

MZ: She said they were getting a DLR machine for this location but only herself and her back up manager would be facilitating exchanges. She never asked what currencies I had …I never offered that info. She did say when the time comes either myself or my assistant could travel to me to take care of my transactions. I turned down that offer saying I wanted to be treated like everyone else.

MZ: A couple weeks went by and I popped into a teller window to do my normal banking. I asked if the bank manager was in and was told that she was at lunch. As I was leaving the teller told me the bank manager was coming out to speak with you. She explained that all the tellers had been told to let them know if I came in looking for them.

MZ: The bank manager arrived and I was red faced at having made her leave her plate to answer a insignificant question. No matter how I try they will not treat me like everyone else. This is a true testimony that even some tier 3 regional banks are aware of the upcoming reset and will be taking part in the exchanges.

MZ: Thank you  for sharing those. I did filter out some things to protect individuals and businesses.

Member: Mark are you able to share if your bond contacts have received their funds now that ISO 20022 is activated?

MZ: I do have some key bond folks who has anticipated great movement last weekend with the new systems….…they have meetings today. So by the next podcast I should know how those meetings went. I am hopeful the message I get is “we have money”

MZ: From Iraq: “My relationship with Barzani is good and our disagreement is legal. We tried to convince Sadr to return to the elections”  there has been a lot of infighting to try to force Kurdistan into cooperation.

MZ: “ When will Sadr turn the tables. A new equation threatens the dominance of the framework in 2025 elections”   Sadr controls votes here. He is also pushing Barzani to get the Kurdish issues knocked out.

MZ: “ To enhance Electronic payment: Government meeting to activate Appel-pay in Iraq” This went exceptionally well…and there is a follow up meeting in 2 weeks. Iraq is going electronic and requires payment systems. Probably 80% of the currency sits under mattresses ect in Iraq. When more citizens embrace this and puts money in the banks it will unleash its potential. You need to put water in the pool before going swimming. There is great progress.

MZ: “Sudanese advisor reveals the most important pillars of the revival of the “Treasure” of Iraq” Sound economic policy. I love this one. Foreign investment is important to Iraq.

Member: Mike Bara believes VND may be only 0.47 and also we may be taxed?

Member: I always thought the worst case was going to be .47 cents for dong……love it to be higher though.

Member: So Trump and the Admin in recent weeks have been in the headlines regarding deals with (Iraq, Indonesia, Vietnam) and this would pander to the RV you would think?

Member: I just got a notification that Trump signed a trade deal with indonesia. the rupiah is one of the currencies that is rumored to revalue. quite a coincidence

MZ: Its crazy that these are some of the first deals Trump signed…..love it.

Member: So much wrong news and mis information….I am worried  I'm not going to believe when it really happens!

Member: Hoping the 800 numbers are coming this week…..What do you think Mark?

MZ: I do not know the timing but I feel very good about this month.

Member: Charlie Ward, had said RV would occur on a Thursday. This Thursday is the 17th

8 Frugal Habits Americans Are Ridiculed for — and Why You Shouldn’t Care

8 Frugal Habits Americans Are Ridiculed for — and Why You Shouldn’t Care

May 10, 2025 by  Cindy Lamothe    Saving Money / Savings Advice

Being frugal sometimes feels like a dirty little secret. You clip coupons, skip the fancy lattes and patch up your clothes instead of tossing them — only to get teased for it. 

But here’s the thing: a lot of those so-called “cheap” habits are actually wise financial moves, especially with reports of a possible recession, according to Forbes.

Frugal habits that often get mocked tend to reflect a broader culture of individualism and self-reliance, said Andreas Jones, founder and editor of KindaFrugal.

*******************************

“Things like splitting two-ply toilet paper into single-ply sheets or turning off the air conditioning in the middle of a heatwave can sound extreme, but they stem from a deeper focus on stretching every dollar, especially in areas with high living costs or medical debt,” Jones said.

Extreme Couponing

From what he’s seen with his clients, Andrew Lokenauth, money expert and owner of BeFluentInFinance, said extreme couponing gets the most eye rolls and jokes. 

“But here’s the thing — I’ve watched people save $300 plus per month just by spending a few hours organizing their coupons.” 

One of his clients built a $15,000 emergency fund in 18 months through couponing alone. 

“Yeah, it takes time to clip and organize, but the ROI is insane,” he added.

Buying Generic Brands

Buying generic brands is another one people love to mock. Working in finance, Lokenauth said he can’t count how many times he’s heard “but the name brand tastes better.” 

“Listen, I’ve done blind taste tests with my clients — they literally can’t tell the difference 80% of the time,” Lokenauth said. 

He said the markup on name brands is sometimes 50% higher just for prettier packaging. That’s real money you’re throwing away.

In most cases, generic products are made in the same factories, with nearly identical ingredients. You’re paying extra for the logo, not the quality. 

From pantry staples and cleaning supplies to over-the-counter meds, switching to store brands can shave hundreds off your annual grocery bill without changing much about your actual lifestyle.

Maintaining a Fixed Thermostat

Another mockable habit Lokenauth noted was folks keeping the thermostat at 68 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer. 

“People act like you’re torturing yourself, but your body adapts in about two weeks,” he said. 

He personally saved $175 a month last summer by doing this — and he lives in Texas. 

His advice? Put on a sweater in winter, use fans in summer. Your bank account will thank you.

Tishwash:   Oil Companies Signal Readiness to Resume Exports via Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline Pending Binding Agreements

7/14/2025   ERBIL — 

The Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) announced Monday that its member companies are prepared to immediately resume oil exports through the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline (ITP), pending the conclusion of binding agreements with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Government of Iraq (GoI).

In a statement, APIKUR welcomed the intensified negotiations between the KRG and Baghdad aimed at resolving the long-standing suspension of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region. The talks seek to secure a framework that would guarantee payment certainty and recognize the existing contractual rights of international oil companies (IOCs) operating in the Region.

On July 12, representatives from APIKUR member companies, along with other IOCs active in the Kurdistan Region, participated in a high-level meeting with KRG and GoI officials. During the meeting, the companies expressed readiness to restart exports as soon as agreements are finalized that reflect each company’s legally binding production sharing contracts and address outstanding payment arrears.

“All payments must be made promptly and transparently,” APIKUR stated, “either in cash or through the transfer of each company’s entitlement share of oil ‘in kind,’” emphasizing that terms must be acceptable to both the IOCs and the KRG.

“APIKUR member companies stand ready to resume exports as soon as written agreements are executed that honor our existing contracts which are governed by international law,” said APIKUR spokesperson Myles B. Caggins III. “APIKUR has always firmly held that our members’ production sharing contracts must be honored in every respect and members have never participated in any meetings with any governmental body suggesting otherwise.”

The announcement comes as pressure mounts on Baghdad to find a sustainable resolution to the oil export impasse that has significantly impacted the Kurdistan Region’s economy and broader energy markets. While no exact timeline was provided, both Baghdad and Erbil are currently engaged in intensive talks to reach a near-term agreement.

Oil exports through the ITP have been suspended since March 2023 following a ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that halted independent Kurdish oil sales. The ongoing negotiations aim to restore flows under a framework that satisfies both legal and commercial concerns.  LINK

Tishwash:  Iraq signs an agreement with the American company HKN to increase oil production in the Hamrin field.

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced on Tuesday the signing of an agreement in principle between the North Oil Company and the American company HKN to develop the Hamrin oil field.

Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani affirmed the ministry's commitment to cooperating with reputable American, Western, and other international companies to develop oil fields, optimize gas investment, and maximize production capacity in support of the national economy.

This came during his patronage and attendance of the signing ceremony of the agreement to invest and develop the Hamrin field.

Abdul Ghani said that the ministry seeks to raise the field’s production rates to 60 thousand barrels per day, in addition to investing (45-50) cubic meters of associated gas to supply power generation stations with fuel, noting that the Hamrin field is one of the producing fields and the current production rates are (20-25) thousand barrels per day, despite the economic and security challenges.

He pointed out Iraq's aspirations for joint cooperation with reputable American companies, explaining that there are numerous negotiations for investment in the oil, gas and energy sectors.

The signing ceremony was attended by the Ministry's Undersecretaries, the Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy, the Prime Minister's Advisor, and a number of Directors General at the Ministry's headquarters.

US Chargé d'Affaires Stephen Fagin said, "We are pleased to be attending the signing ceremony today at the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. We are also pleased that an American company is investing in Iraq, and we would like to see more business with Iraq."

For his part, the Director General of the North Oil Company, Amer Khalil, said that the agreement signed would serve as a basis for signing a development contract later, noting that the contract aims to develop all oil wells in the field and qualify personnel, and contributes to securing gas fuel to operate power plants and employ Iraqi workers.

In turn, HKN Vice President Matthew Zeiss said: "We are very proud to be working and cooperating with the Ministry of Oil. Our goal is to develop the Hamrin field to its full potential, utilize Iraqi capabilities to operate and operate at 80% capacity, and develop the local community in the operating area." link

Tishwash:  Between IMF recommendations and Baghdad's ambitions... Iraq plans a new economy

Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Monday that the government's reform policy has not deviated from the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund, while explaining that the government seeks to transform the rentier economy into a diversified, productive economy.

“Despite the significant financial exposure to oil revenues, which has made the financing of public spending, especially investment, dependent on oil price fluctuations and the oil asset cycle, as well as the pressure of employment in the government sector, which has absorbed the state’s resources without creating parallel productivity in the real economy, these are facts that put pressure on the growth paths of the rentier economy.

However, it can be said that Iraq possesses promising economic components if they are employed within a realistic and gradual development vision,” Saleh said in a statement to the official media, followed by “Al-Mutalaa”.

He added, "Strengthening the non-oil sector requires a real shift from a rentier economy to a diversified productive economy, something the current government is seeking to achieve within the framework of its government program.

The reform policy currently being adopted by the government has not departed from the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund, which are repeated in most of its meetings, official gatherings, and reports."

He pointed out that the government program approved by the Council of Representatives in October 2022 serves as a guide and vision that has been implemented in the work of the Iraqi reform government.

This has been embodied in the transformations in the country's economic policy, despite the heavy social and economic legacy accumulated over the past years, such as stalled projects, thousands of employment contracts with the government that lead to permanent employment, and the poverty alleviation program, which required reaching two million families in the social welfare budget. He explained that:

 “The government has paved its way with the non-oil economy in an exceptional way since it announced that it is a government of services, as it began implementing dozens of service infrastructure projects that were suspended, including starting to build one million housing units and hundreds of school buildings, hospitals, bridges, roads, electricity and water networks, and announcing a partnership program, especially in the industrial and energy fields, with the private sector, by granting the private sector sovereign guarantees to interact in technologically advanced industrial investment, without neglecting the agricultural support policy that provided sufficient security from the production of grain crops.

This is what indicated the decline in unemployment to 13 percent after it was 17 percent, in addition to the high stability in the general price level, which did not exceed 3 percent.”

He continued, "The government is proceeding with banking structural reforms without interruption, in addition to its successes in bringing Iraq into the digital age by improving digital payment systems, and the progress achieved in the gas sector and its exploitation within the development of the energy sector and natural resources, all of which constitute key factors for sustainable economic growth, which reflects the stability of Iraq's credit rating, with the adoption of the Development Path Strategy as a program to achieve the goals of generating a leading economic sector in development outside the oil sector, to shape the coming economic future in sustainable development in our country without interruption." link

Collapse-Proof: Ancient Strategies for a Failing Future

Miles Harris:  7-14-2025

What collapses first when systems fail?

When money freezes, food disappears, and digital identity breaks, most people will be unprepared. But history shows a different kind of survivor—those who lived on the margins, not through power, but through skill, community, and self-reliance.

This video explores how peasants outlived empires and what their forgotten strategies teach us about resilience today.

From selective resistance to practical decentralization, we ask the hard questions: What still works when the grid fails?

What part of you survives without apps, banks, or state approval?

This isn’t paranoia. It’s pattern recognition.

 Most people won’t see it coming. But those who do have time to adapt, connect, and build a life that no system can fully control.

Real escape isn’t found on a map. It’s found in the skills you carry, the people you trust, and the life you choose to live.

Clare:  19,000 barrels are lost between Baghdad and Erbil...and Al-Marsoumi proposes dividing them.

7/13/2025- Baghdad

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi said on Saturday (July 12, 2025) that the current oil dispute between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region does not deserve to turn into a complex crisis, noting that the core of the dispute revolves around only 19,000 barrels of oil per day.

Al-Marsoumi said in a social media post, followed by Baghdad Today, that “the oil minister indicates that the dispute is limited to 19,000 barrels per day, while the regional government says it needs 65,000 barrels, while Baghdad offers to provide it with 46,000.”

Al-Marsoumi added sarcastically, "This isn't a difficult problem. It can be solved very simply. Take ten from Baghdad and ten from the region, and (may God have mercy on your father)," calling for a swift settlement to end the suffering of the region's employees who are awaiting their salaries and continue to pray for someone to contribute to resolving the crisis.   LINK

Clare:  The two Kurdish parties issue a joint statement...an agreement on Baghdad

7/14/2025  - Erbil

The two Kurdish parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), led by Masoud Barzani, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), headed by Pavel Talabani, held a meeting on Tuesday, during which they agreed to continue negotiations and dialogue to resolve the issue of employee salaries and other issues.

Frank26   The ISO 20022 is going to allow the Iraqi dinar to play fairly globally with their currency because this is what our president is asking...This was a line item with the IMF and the World Bank on their economic reform to up their global standards...They set up [July] 14th a long time ago. 

Walkingstick  Question: "They Syrian Central Bank has posed Middle Eastern exchange rates but they did not post the Iraqi dinar today.  I believe they know a change is coming.  What do you think sir?"  That's exactly right...Meaning not posted until a new rate is released by the CBI.  The CBI makes the call if and when they want their currency listed for buy, sell or trade. 

Militia Man   Article   "Iraq increased their gold reserves to over 145 tons"  That's a report from the World Gold Council...That's a lot of gold...Remember for valuation of currencies they take into consideration what you have in assets in gold...

Rick Rule: “The Only Way to Honor $100 Trillion in Debt Is to Devalue the Dollar”

Daneila Cambone:  7-14-2025

“The circumstance that we existed in from 1980 to 2020 — while it was very pleasant — is over,” says Rick Rule, legendary investor and founder of Rule Investment Media.

Speaking with Daniela Cambone at the Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, Rule warns that the era of low interest rates has ended, and U.S. dollar hegemony is weakening.

“It seems to me that the only way that you honor the nominal value of our obligations… is by devaluing the purchasing power,” he says, pointing to over $100 trillion in entitlements and debt.

“You honor the nominal obligation of Social Security to an old geezer like me by continuing to pay him $4,000 a month... but by devaluing the dollar.”

Looking back at history, Rule points out that in the 1970s, the purchasing power of the dollar “declined by 75%,” and that “the gold price ran 30-fold.”

 He believes the setup is repeating and this time, “we are in a gold and gold equities bull market." No, we're not waiting for it. We're here," he concludes.
