Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Central Banks Flee Paper for Gold as Dollar Confidence Erodes
Record gold accumulation signals a silent but structural shift in global reserves
Overview
Central banks around the world are accelerating gold purchases at a pace not seen in decades, reflecting growing concern over the long-term credibility of the U.S. dollar. Geopolitical fragmentation, sanctions risk, and increasing political pressure on monetary policy have driven reserve managers toward tangible, politically neutral assets. Gold’s share of global central bank reserves has now climbed above 25%, marking a historic inflection point in reserve strategy.
Key Developments
Central banks have increased gold purchases at multi-decade record levels
Gold now accounts for more than one-quarter of global central bank reserves
Prices have surged to historic highs, confirming sustained institutional demand
China alone reportedly holds over 2,000 tonnes of gold
Emerging market central banks are leading the diversification trend
What’s Really Driving the Shift
This move is not about speculation or short-term hedging. It is about systemic risk management.
Gold offers:
No counterparty risk
Immunity from sanctions and payment freezes
Protection against political interference in monetary policy
Universal acceptability outside any single financial system
As trust in fiat governance weakens, central banks are opting for assets that cannot be debased, frozen, or reprogrammed.
Why It Matters
Accelerated gold accumulation is a classic signal of declining confidence in dominant reserve currencies
Reserve diversification weakens the structural demand for dollar-denominated assets
Gold reasserts itself as a neutral anchor in a fragmenting monetary order
This behavior historically precedes monetary regime adjustments, not follows them
When central banks move first, markets follow later.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For foreign currency holders anticipating revaluation during a Global Reset:
Gold accumulation signals preparation for currency realignment
Tangible reserve backing strengthens the case for future repricing
Fiat-heavy systems face pressure as reserve composition shifts
Holders positioned ahead of formal policy changes benefit most
Gold is not replacing currencies — it is redefining what backs them.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Assets: Gold regains prominence as a reserve foundation
Pillar 2 – Monetary Trust: Confidence migrates from fiat promises to physical backing
Reserve Architecture: Diversification reduces single-currency dominance
Resets are built quietly in vaults before they appear in headlines.
When central banks choose metal over paper, the message is already clear.

Mumbai Emerges as a Hub for Multipolar Economic Coordination
New Global Economic Cooperation Forum signals accelerating shift away from Western-led frameworks
Overview
A new Global Economic Cooperation 2026 Forum has been announced for February 17–19 in Mumbai, bringing together policymakers, economic planners, and institutional leaders to explore alternative models of global collaboration. The forum reflects growing momentum among emerging and middle powers to coordinate trade, investment, and financial policy outside traditional Western-dominated institutions.
Key Developments
The inaugural forum will convene in Mumbai in mid-February
Focus areas include trade integration, investment flows, and economic coordination
Participants are expected from emerging markets and middle powers
The initiative emphasizes multipolar cooperation rather than bloc dependency
Timing aligns with rising global fragmentation in trade and finance systems
Why This Forum Is Different
Unlike legacy institutions shaped after World War II, this forum is structured around pragmatic economic alignment rather than ideology. Its emphasis is on:
Flexible cooperation across regions
Reduced reliance on dollar-centric systems
Strategic alignment among economies navigating sanctions, debt stress, and trade disruption
This is coalition-building by design — not protest, but preparation.
Why It Matters
Signals intentional coordination for alternative economic architecture
Reinforces the decline of single-center economic governance
Creates space for new trade and settlement frameworks
Aligns with broader moves toward regionalization and multipolar finance
Economic resets rarely begin with formal announcements — they begin with forums like this.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For foreign currency holders watching the Global Reset narrative:
Multipolar coordination supports future currency repricing
Trade integration outside Western systems reduces legacy currency dominance
New settlement mechanisms create opportunities for value recalibration
Forums like this often precede policy harmonization and monetary shifts
Currency value changes are negotiated long before they are declared.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Trade: Expands non-Western trade coordination pathways
Pillar 2 – Finance: Supports diversification away from dollar-centric systems
Institutional Realignment: Signals early-stage restructuring of global governance
This is not a summit for headlines — it is a workshop for the next system.
Global resets don’t start at the G7 — they start where the future is being built.

Inside BRICS’ Real De-Dollarization Strategy: Payments Over Politics
Why infrastructure — not a new currency — is quietly reshaping global finance
Overview
For much of 2024 and early 2025, public discussion around BRICS de-dollarization focused on the idea of a new shared currency to rival the U.S. dollar. That narrative missed what was actually happening. Rather than building a euro-style monetary union, BRICS countries pursued a more practical strategy: payment infrastructure, bilateral settlement, and local-currency trade.
The result is a quiet but measurable reduction in dollar usage — achieved not through ideology, but through systems.
Key Developments
BRICS countries prioritized interoperable payment systems instead of a single currency
Russia’s SPFS, China’s CIPS, and India’s UPI were connected through pilot frameworks under BRICS Pay
Russia and China now settle the vast majority of bilateral trade in rubles and yuan
Local-currency trade expanded across energy, commodities, and infrastructure finance
BRICS-backed institutions increased non-dollar lending to Global South projects
This approach sidestepped political resistance while producing tangible outcomes.
Why Payments Became the Strategy
Creating a shared currency would require unified monetary policy, fiscal discipline, and economic convergence — conditions that do not exist inside BRICS. Member economies range from China’s multi-trillion-dollar system to frontier markets still stabilizing basic financial infrastructure.
Instead, BRICS focused on what could be built now:
Clearing systems that bypass dollar settlement
Bilateral trade invoicing in local currencies
Commodity-backed financing structures
Multilateral lending outside Western-dominated institutions
As Russia’s leadership has emphasized publicly, alternatives emerged not as confrontation — but as necessity.
Local Currency Trade and Commodity Finance
Energy trade provided the fastest proof of concept. Oil, gas, and commodities were increasingly settled in yuan, rubles, rupees, and reais, reducing dollar exposure without disrupting supply chains.
Meanwhile, the New Development Bank expanded lending in domestic currencies, supporting infrastructure and development projects without dollar-denominated debt risk. Commodity-backed settlement pilots added further insulation from currency volatility.
Each transaction was incremental — but cumulative impact matters.
Political Limits Still Apply
Despite technical progress, political realities capped ambition. Proposals for a unified BRICS currency were quietly deprioritized in 2025. Leaders acknowledged that monetary integration was premature, particularly amid external trade pressures and tariff threats.
This restraint did not stall de-dollarization — it refined it.
Why It Matters
De-dollarization is happening through systems, not symbols
Payment infrastructure reduces dollar dependency without formal confrontation
Bilateral clearing erodes reserve currency dominance transaction by transaction
This model is scalable beyond BRICS to the wider Global South
The shift is structural, not rhetorical.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For foreign currency holders watching global reset mechanics:
Payment systems matter more than headline currency launches
Local settlement reduces artificial demand for reserve currencies
Commodity-backed finance supports future currency repricing
Infrastructure-first de-dollarization favors measured realignment, not shock events
Currency value changes long before exchange rates move.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Trade: Local-currency invoicing reshapes global trade flows
Pillar 2 – Finance: Payment rails weaken legacy settlement dominance
Pillar 4 – Assets: Commodities reassert monetary relevance
This is de-dollarization by design — not declaration.
The dollar isn’t being overthrown — it’s being routed around.

Will The Government Confiscate Your Silver?
Will The Government Confiscate Your Silver? Here’s Why It’s Likely
Noel Lorenzana, CPA Jan 17, 2026
Did you know the US government once seized private gold overnight? In 1933, gold was taken by law with a single signature. No warning. No debate. Today, silver has been declared a US strategic mineral, raising urgent questions about silver confiscation, government control, national security, and private ownership.
Will The Government Confiscate Your Silver? Here’s Why It’s Likely
Noel Lorenzana, CPA Jan 17, 2026
Did you know the US government once seized private gold overnight? In 1933, gold was taken by law with a single signature. No warning. No debate. Today, silver has been declared a US strategic mineral, raising urgent questions about silver confiscation, government control, national security, and private ownership.
Silver is no longer just an industrial or precious metal. It is now tied to the power grid, the military, clean energy, and US national defense. In a national emergency, “strategic” does not mean protected. It means prioritized and controlled. Rules can change without a knock on the door or a new law, turning private silver into a public resource.
This video breaks down the historical gold confiscation of 1933, why silver’s new classification matters, how government control really works, and what this could mean for silver owners today. If you think this cannot happen again, or that silver is immune, you need to pay attention.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sat. 17 Jan. 2026
Compiled Sat. 17 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Judy Note: BRICS countries and the Global Military Alliance (allegedly) started with taking back The People’s money from the Deepstate Cabal. Their Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV) to gold/asset-backed currency seriously(allegedly) began Jan. 1 2026.
This week as the new Quantum Financial System (QFS) integration (allegedly) completed worldwide, Tier4b (us, the Internet Group who held foreign currency and Zim Bonds to exchange) notification to exchange was (allegedly) going on right now and imminently for the main group the early part of next week.
Zim redemptions and currency exchanges at secure Centers promise unprecedented wealth transfer, erasing decades of fiat slavery and ushering in NESARA/GESARA prosperity for all nations.
Debt forgiveness under these laws will(allegedly) liberate families from burdensome loans, mortgages, and credit obligations—imagine homes reclaimed, burdens lifted, as abundance flows.
This great wealth shift (allegedly) dismantles the Cabal’s control, redirecting resources to humanitarian efforts, infrastructure rebirth, and global unity under principles of freedom and justice.
Hold fast in faith, Patriots; the payout phase begins soon, bringing financial liberation and the fulfillment of promises long awaited. Prepare appointment details, guard against scams, and give thanks to the Almighty for this restoration of righteousness on Earth.
Have faith, stock provisions and trust in The Lord’s Plan.

Frank26 I've always told you the moment you see the HCL you'll see the new exchange rate. Will we see the prime minister? I don't know. You think I'm waiting for the prime minister? I'm waiting for the new exchange rate.
Militia Man Al-Sudani is the most likely Prime Minister based on current momentum and coalition strength. His continued leadership would ensure steady progress in Iraq's economic reforms and global financial integration. The political landscape supports continuity rather than significant change.
Bruce [via WiserNow] I'm going to tell you this timeline that...came through...this morning. The RV/GCR was initiated to the point where it started and cannot be reversed, and that was early this morning, and they were testing by paying redemption centers and banks. And with this test, everything has been put into motion. So redemption centers, 800 number testing, all of that has been completed. Now we're moving through this process...we're looking at a five day rollout, starting Friday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Martin Luther King Day...is the 19th, so it could be 20th, 21st, in that timeframe.

The US Government Just Made Silver "National Security"
GoldSilver: 1-16-2026
On January 14, 2026, President Trump issued a White House Proclamation declaring 41 critical minerals — including silver — essential to national security.
The proclamation explicitly acknowledges America's dangerous dependence on foreign sources for mining, processing, and shipping these materials.
Here's where it gets interesting: The administration has instructed trade officials to "consider price floors for trade in critical minerals and other trade-restricting measures." Translation? The government may artificially prop up silver prices — and if that happens, we could see runaway price action.
In this video, Alan breaks down what this proclamation actually means for silver investors, why it matters NOW, and what you should be watching for in the coming months.

Mod: GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE! CBD GURUS MATT AND LUCAS KICK OFF THE FIRST 45 MINS AND THEN MARK GIVES THE NEWS UPDATE
Member: good Morning everyone….Welcome to a 3 day weekend
Member: Any big news today Mark?
MZ: On the bond side I have 2 more historic bond confirmations that they expect the “REST” of their funds on Tuesday of this week. So 2 bond contacts told me they expect the rest. I think this is a very big one. The word “Rest” indicates they may have gotten some of their money.
MZ: One contact is in Europe and the other one is in Asia…..Over the last week they have been in meetings but had not received anything. Then they got a little squirrely and quiet….and then a message from two separate contacts in two separate locations that they expect the rest on Tuesday
MZ: A buddy of mine shared a bank story. He said “Over the last 2 days I had some banking interactions with a large bank. I asked my bank manager if she had seen the new currency. Her answer was _____(silence) I asked her is she was under an NDA and her response was “Yes- you have done your research.”
MZ: “I asked her if the bank had cash on hand for withdrawal for say $9,999.00 bucks so I did not have to do IRS paperwork. She said “I cannot advise you on that due to the FDIC and IRS but yes….you have done your research”
MZ: The next questions was “Are you ISO 20220 and Basel 3 compliant?” and she said “Yes- you have done your research.” I then asked her about the RV or Nesara and she gave the same answer. “Yes- you have done your research”
MZ: The following day (yesterday) I went back to the same bank and spoke to the same manager. Before I left her office she grabbed my arm and whispered “It’s coming , It’s coming soon” I thought that was a exciting one
Member: Best bank story in a long time- Thanks Mark.
MZ: “Silver to $500:Michael Oliver’s Breakout Warning” He says they have been stuck in a heavily manipulated box for 50 years….and silver is breaking out of it. This also means fiat is crashing as metals are soaring. Wow for $500 silver.
Member: I wonder- Did the bankers end up working this weekend as they were told?
Member: I stopped by Chase yesterday to make an in person deposit at the drive through, the teller’s greeting was interesting “welcome to JP Morgan Financial Advisors” or something like that.
Member: Anyone see US Treasury postpone buying back $4 trillion in US bonds due to technical issue…
Member: Mark Savaya is on his way to Iraq, he maybe already there. Folks, maybe we're about to see some action fast.
MZ: Yes he has some big meetings today and tomorrow. (He is Trump’s special envoy to Iraq) He is an Iraqi born American businessman. He was raised in the US. He is coming with a bag full of carrots and sticks.
MZ: From the World Trade Organization Ascensions newsletter for January 2026: “ Lists some of the folks ascending to the WTO this year. And there is Iraq….listed there.
MZ: We also hear rumblings they are working on HCL and working on passing the new budget as quickly as possible. Positive happenings in Iraq.
Member: It’s a 3 day weekend…..MLK Day……
Member: President Trump speaks at Davos on the 19th- just 2 days away.
Member: Mark!!! What advice do u have for those who have been in this for years and their desire to do the humanitarian projects they've been planning for years is dwindling down to not wanting to
MZ: You are not alone. I continue to be told that we will be given some “ready to go” choices where we just have to give a certain amount of money for those projects but do not physically have to go there. They have to know that we are just tired.
Member: Thanks Mark and Mods. Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone. Much Love
Member: Stay safe…Stay warm…and have a great weekend.

Tishwash: Mark Savaya arrives in Erbil
Shafaq News Agency's correspondent reported that Mark Savaya, US President Donald Trump's envoy for Iraq affairs, arrived in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, early Saturday morning, as part of a visit that coincides with broader US diplomatic activity related to the Iraq and Syria files.
Tom Barrack, Trump’s envoy for Syria, is scheduled to arrive in Erbil later on Saturday to meet with Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, at a time when the Syrian arena is witnessing a military escalation and international mediation efforts to de-escalate the situation.
Trump had appointed Savaya as special envoy for Iraq affairs on October 19, 2025. He is an American businessman of Iraqi origin.
In his latest remarks, attributed to him ahead of the visit, he said he would deal with the "appropriate decision-makers" in Iraq, and had previously hinted that "big changes are coming" with a focus on "actions, not words." link
Tishwash: Sudanese advisor: The government has achieved economic success, and the International Monetary Fund is witnessing it.
Despite talk of a severe financial crisis in Iraq and the decline of the dinar against the dollar, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, says that the country recorded a low inflation rate of about 1.5% by the end of 2025. He pointed out that inflation in Iraq is the lowest in the Arab world, noting that the government's monetary policy succeeded in maintaining price and exchange rate stability and protecting the purchasing power of the dinar.
Regarding the recent cabinet measures, Salih explained that their aim is to address what is known as "job inflation" as a step to support social stability and improve income levels, as he put it.
Saleh told the official agency, as reported by 964 Network , that “the Iraqi economy is witnessing a remarkable phase of monetary stability, as it recorded a low inflation rate of about 1.5% by the end of 2025, according to estimates by the International Monetary Fund, which is among the lowest rates in the Arab region.” He explained that “this achievement is attributed to the monetary policy that succeeded in maintaining price and exchange rate stability, and protecting the purchasing power of the dinar, which strengthened confidence in the national currency and provided a more favorable environment for investment.”
He added that “the recent Cabinet decisions aim to address what is known as ‘job inflation’ as a step to support social stability and improve income levels,” noting that “these measures achieve positive short-term returns by stimulating domestic demand and enhancing economic confidence, especially if they are financed within the limits of financial sustainability and do not exceed the absorptive capacity of the economy.”
He explained that “the biggest challenge remains in transforming this monetary stability into sustainable productive economic growth, since government employment, if not linked to productivity, may create a gap between public spending and real output, and increase the economy’s vulnerability to fluctuations in oil prices.”
He added that “the solution lies in linking employment to training and qualification programs, empowering the private sector through legislative and financial reforms, as well as diversifying the economic base by focusing on agricultural development, manufacturing, renewable energy, and increasing opportunities in the digital economy.”
He stressed that “Iraq today has a rare dual opportunity represented by low inflation and monetary stability,” adding that “this opportunity can turn into a long-term gain if it is invested in building a solid productive base, which will ensure the continuity of financial and monetary stability in the medium and long term, and move the economy from the cycle of rentier dependency to the path of sustainable growth.” link
************
Tishwash: Government advisor: Tourism investment is a gateway to stimulating the private sector and diversifying national income.
The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Friday that Iraq has more than 12,000 archaeological sites that form the basis for a comprehensive tourism launch, explaining that tourism investment is a gateway to stimulating the private sector and diversifying national income.
Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Tourism in Iraq is more than just a recreational activity; it is a strategic tool for wealth creation, achieving balanced development, and diversifying national income sources, provided that investment in it is done seriously and with a clear institutional approach.”
He explained that “this sector has the potential to become a major economic pillar, capable of restoring Iraq to its natural civilizational position and contributing to building a more stable and sustainable economic future.”
He added that “tourism in Iraq represents a strategic economic lever capable of reducing the single dependence on oil, opening up broad prospects for diversifying national income, creating direct and indirect job opportunities, revitalizing the service and commercial sectors, as well as providing the economy with important revenues from foreign currency.”
He pointed out that "tourism leads to an increase in demand for local products and services, especially handicrafts, food products, and national cuisine, which strengthens local value chains. At the employment level, it is estimated that a single tourism event in the hotel accommodation sector alone is capable of generating more than 25 job opportunities at once, which highlights the multiplier effect of this sector on the labor market."
He pointed out that "tourism investment contributes to stimulating private sector trends by supporting the growth of small and medium enterprises, such as transport companies, restaurants and shops, and it also has a positive impact on the macroeconomy through the development of infrastructure by investing in roads, airports, hotels and public facilities, which enhances the investment attractiveness of the country as a whole."
Saleh emphasized that “Iraq has more than 12,000 archaeological sites stretching from Babylon, Ur and Nineveh to Baghdad and Samarra, as well as holy religious shrines. These are unique cultural treasures, some of which have been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and they form a solid foundation for a comprehensive tourism initiative with economic, cultural and civilizational dimensions. link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
China-Led Digital Currency Network Quietly Surges — Dollar Rails Face a Parallel System
Cross-border CBDC testing accelerates as trade settlement bypasses traditional banking channels
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
China-Led Digital Currency Network Quietly Surges — Dollar Rails Face a Parallel System
Cross-border CBDC testing accelerates as trade settlement bypasses traditional banking channels
Overview
China-led cross-border digital currency infrastructure has reached a new milestone, as transaction volumes on a multilateral central bank digital currency platform surged dramatically. What began as a limited experiment has evolved into a functioning settlement network used by sovereign institutions, signaling a structural shift in how international trade can be cleared outside legacy dollar-based systems.
Key Developments
A China-backed cross-border digital currency platform recorded tens of billions of dollars in cumulative transactions
Participating central banks include China, Hong Kong, Thailand, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia
The digital yuan accounts for the vast majority of settlement volume
Government-level wholesale transactions have now occurred on the platform
The system operates outside SWIFT and traditional correspondent banking rails
What’s Actually Changing
This is not a retail crypto story. It is institution-to-institution settlement infrastructure being tested live.
Unlike experimental pilots of the past, this platform:
Settles trade directly between central banks
Reduces reliance on intermediary banks
Shortens settlement times from days to seconds
Limits exposure to sanctions and correspondent risk
The most important shift is architectural: payments are being designed without the dollar as a mandatory bridge asset.
Why It Matters
Parallel payment systems weaken the monopoly power of existing reserve currency rails
Trade can increasingly settle without touching U.S. banking infrastructure
Financial influence moves from enforcement to infrastructure control
Once operational, these systems are difficult to unwind
This is how monetary transitions occur quietly — before headlines, not after them.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Foreign currency holders anticipating revaluation during a Global Reset should note:
Alternative settlement systems reduce forced demand for a single reserve currency
Cross-border CBDCs create conditions for regional currency repricing
Infrastructure precedes valuation changes, not the other way around
When trade no longer needs legacy rails, currency hierarchies begin to adjust
This development does not flip the switch — it installs the wiring.
Implications for the Global Reset
Payments Pillar: Live CBDC settlement outside dollar rails
Trade Pillar: Sovereign trade increasingly bypasses correspondent banking
Monetary Power: Influence shifts from currency dominance to network control
The reset does not arrive as an announcement. It arrives as redundancy.
When the rails change, the destination eventually follows.

Bank of England Warns Populism Is Undermining Monetary Trust — Confidence Becomes the Risk
Central banks defend credibility as political pressure intensifies
Overview
The Governor of the Bank of England issued a blunt warning that rising populism and political interference are eroding trust in financial institutions. The statement reflects growing concern among central bankers that confidence — not inflation — may become the next systemic vulnerability.
Key Developments
The Bank of England warned of political pressure undermining institutional independence
Central bank credibility was framed as a core pillar of financial stability
Trust erosion was linked to market volatility and capital flight risk
Similar concerns are emerging across multiple Western monetary authorities
What the Warning Really Signals
Central banks rarely speak publicly about trust unless it is already being tested.
This warning suggests:
Monetary authority is being challenged politically
Policy credibility increasingly requires communication management
Financial stability now depends as much on perception as policy tools
Institutional legitimacy is no longer assumed
When trust must be defended verbally, it is already under strain.
Why It Matters
Fiat systems function on confidence, not convertibility
Political interference weakens long-term policy credibility
Markets price trust faster than inflation data
History shows currency transitions often follow legitimacy crises, not recessions
This is a confidence signal — not a policy one.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For those holding foreign currencies expecting a Global Reset:
Declining institutional trust accelerates diversification away from legacy systems
Confidence fractures create sudden repricing windows
Reset events often follow legitimacy loss, not official failure
Holders positioned early benefit from disorderly adjustments
Trust is the invisible reserve asset. When it erodes, values shift.
Implications for the Global Reset
Confidence Pillar: Institutional trust becomes a limiting factor
Monetary Pillar: Independence questioned, credibility strained
Capital Flows: Investors hedge against political monetary risk
Resets begin when belief systems crack — not when systems collapse.
When central banks defend trust, the real currency is already moving.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱
If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.
What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.
For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.
That is not your failure.
Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus
Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process
Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.
You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.
Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.
You deserve truth — not timelines.

The U.S. Mint Has SUSPENDED ALL SALES of Silver Numismatic Products.
The U.S. Mint Has SUSPENDED ALL SALES Of Silver Numismatic Products.
The United States Government just blinked. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the US Mint officially suspended sales of all silver numismatic products, citing an inability to price the metal during "rapidly rising" market conditions. This is the first signal of a Sovereign Physical Default in modern history.
The U.S. Mint Has SUSPENDED ALL SALES Of Silver Numismatic Products.
The United States Government just blinked. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the US Mint officially suspended sales of all silver numismatic products, citing an inability to price the metal during "rapidly rising" market conditions. This is the first signal of a Sovereign Physical Default in modern history.
The entity that prints the currency can no longer source the metal to back it. In this emergency deep dive, we expose the catastrophic disconnect between the Paper Price and the Physical Reality. While Comex silver just hit a new All-Time High of 91.54, the Shanghai Gold Exchange has already shattered the triple−digit barrier, fixing at 100.15.
There are now two prices for silver on Earth: the fake paper price in New York, and the real physical price in China. We analyze the "Whale Raid" on the commercial vaults that triggered this shutdown. Data confirms that 1.3 Million ounces of silver were drained from the JPMorgan vault in a single day, causing a systemic bleed of "Eligible" inventory.
Strategic entities are bypassing the exchange, taking delivery, and shipping metal East to capture the massive arbitrage spread. We map out the "Endgame" scenario. With the Mint closed, dealers rationing inventory, and the Gold-to-Silver ratio collapsing, the path to $300 silver is mathematically locked in.
We discuss the "Ounces to Acres" exit strategy and why selling for dollars during a currency reset is a fatal mistake. The Mint is closed. The Vault is open. And the price is vertical.

Buy the Everything Bubble or Lose to Inflation?
Buy the Everything Bubble or Lose to Inflation?
Heresy Financial: 1-15-2026
As an investor, you’re likely no stranger to uncertainty. But today’s market conditions have left many of us scratching our heads. With asset classes across the board – from stocks and real estate to gold, silver, and commodities – hovering at or near all-time highs, it’s natural to wonder: are we in an “everything bubble”?
And if so, should you stay invested and risk a potentially devastating market crash, or hold onto cash and watch your purchasing power dwindle as inflation continues to rise?

As an investor, you’re likely no stranger to uncertainty. But today’s market conditions have left many of us scratching our heads. With asset classes across the board – from stocks and real estate to gold, silver, and commodities – hovering at or near all-time highs, it’s natural to wonder: are we in an “everything bubble”?
And if so, should you stay invested and risk a potentially devastating market crash, or hold onto cash and watch your purchasing power dwindle as inflation continues to rise?
In a recent video from Heresy Financial, market educator Joe Brown tackles this critical dilemma head-on. Brown, a former stockbroker with a unique perspective on the markets, argues that labeling the current situation a bubble oversimplifies the issue.
Instead, he suggests that the root cause of rising asset prices lies in the significant loss of purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
Brown’s insight is that when you measure asset prices against other stores of value, like gold, the picture changes dramatically. Many assets that appear expensive in dollar terms are, in fact, becoming cheaper when measured against gold.
This indicates that the rising prices we’re seeing aren’t solely the result of overvaluation, but rather a reflection of the dollar’s declining purchasing power.
The culprit behind this debasement is inflation, fueled by a combination of factors including Federal Reserve policies, quantitative easing (QE), and a surge in the money supply. In this environment, holding cash is a losing proposition, as the value of your money erodes over time.
So, how can investors navigate this challenging landscape? Brown recommends a two-pronged approach. First, he advocates for a diversified portfolio with multiple uncorrelated asset classes.
This allows you to rebalance your portfolio and capitalize on relative mispricings without trying to time the market. By spreading your investments across different asset classes, you can reduce your exposure to any one particular market.
Second, Brown suggests allocating a small portion of your portfolio to an aggressive trading strategy, designed to capitalize on market volatility and chaos. His own method has delivered an impressive 36.4% annualized return over the past five years, outpacing major indices by a significant margin.
Looking to the future, Brown warns that Federal Reserve policies are shifting back toward liquidity and monetary easing, signaling continued inflation and asset price inflation. As a result, investors can expect increased market volatility, with frequent bear markets likely to persist. To thrive in this environment, you’ll need strategies that can handle both growth and risk.
In conclusion, the “everything bubble” dilemma is a complex issue that requires a nuanced approach. By understanding the root causes of rising asset prices and adopting a diversified, proactive investment strategy, you can position yourself for success in a rapidly changing market.

The Quiet Money Reset, How the IQD Fits in and What to do
The Quiet Money Reset, How the IQD Fits in and What to do
Edu Matrix: 1-15-2026
The world is witnessing a significant, yet subtle transformation in its monetary systems.
Countries such as Iraq, Venezuela, and even the United States are at the forefront of this change, which is characterized by a gradual move away from debt-based financial systems towards ones that are backed by real assets, transparency, and accountability.
This shift, though not dramatic or abrupt, is profound in its implications for the global economy and individual financial security.
The Quiet Money Reset, How the IQD Fits in and What to do
Edu Matrix: 1-15-2026
The world is witnessing a significant, yet subtle transformation in its monetary systems.
Countries such as Iraq, Venezuela, and even the United States are at the forefront of this change, which is characterized by a gradual move away from debt-based financial systems towards ones that are backed by real assets, transparency, and accountability.
This shift, though not dramatic or abrupt, is profound in its implications for the global economy and individual financial security.
At the heart of this transformation is the recognition that traditional monetary systems, heavily reliant on unlimited debt and trust, are being reevaluated.
The presenter in a recent video discussion highlights that this reliance is being replaced by a new paradigm that emphasizes stronger balance sheets and currencies backed by tangible assets. This change is not occurring in a vacuum but is instead being guided by global regulatory frameworks, such as those set forth by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS).
For individuals, navigating this changing landscape requires a proactive and diversified approach. The advice is clear: to remain protected and flexible, one should consider diversifying their holdings across different currencies, accounts, and types of assets.
Keeping debt levels low is also paramount, as is focusing on real-world value rather than getting caught up in hype. The days of placing all your financial eggs in one basket, or worse, keeping them in a safe deposit box, are behind us. A diversified strategy is key to effective risk management in this new era.
The examples of the Iraqi dinar and the Vietnamese dong are particularly instructive. These currencies are being repositioned in a way that ties their value to real economic production, potentially making them valuable in the long term.
This move underscores the broader trend towards asset-backed currencies and away from fiat currency that is not backed by tangible assets.
As this monetary reset continues to unfold, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and remain calm.
The complexities behind this global shift are multifaceted, and staying abreast of developments is essential for making informed financial decisions.
In conclusion, the ongoing transformation in global monetary systems represents a significant shift towards a more transparent, accountable, and asset-backed financial framework.
While the journey is complex and gradual, being prepared and adopting a diversified financial strategy can help navigate the changes ahead.
