On this week's episode of Economic Update, Professor Wolff breaks down the simultaneous huge spending increases on the military in the U.S. and Europe, suggesting a shared crisis leading to a shared self-protective solution found by the ruling classes both in Europe and in the US. The shared end of colonialism plus the rise of global competition from China and the BRICS plunges their ruling classes into parallel crises, for which they prepare their last node of self-protection, namely building up domestic military. Europe does so in disguise and for self-protection against Russia. The U.S. does it by claiming self-protection from China, plus the rest of the world.

In this episode of *The Bullshit Filter*, Cameron and Ray dissect a world seemingly gone mad under the pressure of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” foreign policy. The duo explores the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Cuba, where a modern fuel blockade has pushed the island's socialist experiment to the brink of collapse and triggered a “mini Bay of Pigs” skirmish. Beyond the Caribbean, they analyze the “Board of Peace”—a privatized, multibillion-dollar alternative to the UN Security Council run by Trump and a circle of luxury real estate developers. Finally, the conversation shifts to the global stage as the BRICS nations and the EU accelerate their “de-dollarization” efforts, launching digital payment systems like Wero to escape the reach of American financial weaponization. It's a deep dive into an era defined by “grifts within grifts” and the slow-motion collapse of the post-WWII global order.

The episode begins with a reflection on Brazil's 2025 BRICS presidency, which emphasized continuity with the bloc's original reformist agenda—particularly the push for reform of global financial institutions and greater representation for emerging economies. While Brazil focused on trade facilitation, climate finance, and taxation cooperation, progress on deeper monetary coordination and mechanisms such as the Contingent Reserve Arrangement remained limited.  Ana Garcia also notes the gap between expectations and reality within BRICS. Despite its growing geopolitical visibility, the bloc has struggled to develop unified responses to global crises and remains economically imbalanced, with intra-BRICS trade heavily centered on China. The New Development Bank continues to expand its project financing and local currency lending but operates within global financial constraints and plays a more limited role than often perceived. Looking ahead, India's presidency will focus on consolidating the expanded BRICS grouping while cautiously advancing financial cooperation, climate adaptation financing, and South-South collaboration in health. The discussion concludes that India's success will depend on pragmatic institutional progress rather than ambitious rhetoric, as BRICS navigates a complex and polarized global environment.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Simon Hunt to the show. Simon Hunt is Consultant on the Global Economy, China, and the Copper Industry. In this wide-ranging discussion, Hunt provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global geopolitical and economic landscape, focusing on the critical transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world order. Hunt argues that the United States is experiencing a significant decline, similar to historical imperial cycles characterized by military overextension, debt accumulation, and internal societal friction. He suggests that the emerging BRICS alliance, led by Russia, China, and India, is fundamentally challenging American hegemony. The potential for conflict between these powers is high, with Hunt predicting a possible war between 2028 and 2030 unless Washington adapts to a multipolar framework. A significant portion of the discussion centers on potential geopolitical flashpoints, particularly in the Middle East. Hunt suggests that any conflict with Iran would be strategically complex, potentially involving Russia and China, who have recently signed a tripartite strategic alliance with Iran. He believes the United States is unlikely to launch an immediate attack, given the potential diplomatic and domestic political consequences. The conversation also delves deeply into economic trends, with Hunt highlighting the ongoing de-dollarization process. He anticipates China will play a pivotal role in this transformation, potentially announcing a gold-backed currency and participating in the creation of a new BRICS currency called the “unit” as early as 2024. Hunt predicts the Dollar Index could halve in value by 2030, potentially driving gold prices to $10,000. Regarding economic outlook, Hunt expects a significant economic correction in the third or fourth quarter of this year, driven by slowing global liquidity, credit cycles, and what he describes as fundamentally false economic reporting in the United States.

In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company’s cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company’s services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China’s economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China’s economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

PROF. Mohammad Marandi joins Kyle live from Moscow. His Internet connection is a little sketchy but the audio is fine. Be sure to comment to help us with the YT algorithm. What if the real battlefield isn't a border but a bottleneck? We sit down with Professor Mohammad Marandi to examine how Iran calculates risk, leverage, and legitimacy across a map defined as much by energy corridors as by military bases. From the broken promises of the JCPOA to the aftershocks of a 12-day war, we trace why Tehran insists on a narrow negotiating lane—nuclear assurances only—while locking every other door. Marandi argues that missiles, drones, and regional alliances won't be traded for sanctions relief, pointing to lessons from Syria and recent clashes that, in Iran's view, validated conventional deterrence. He walks through why trust collapsed: inconsistent U.S. compliance, shifting goalposts, and the absence of automatic penalties when commitments are breached. The proposed fix is mechanical rather than symbolic—snap, balanced consequences for violations that make cheating too costly. Alongside this, we explore Iran's stated religious and strategic opposition to nuclear weapons, paired with an explicit caveat about existential threats that functions as deterrence without overt weaponization. The most provocative claim centers on geography and economics. Iran's core deterrent, he says, is aimed at the Persian Gulf, not Israel: dense, vulnerable infrastructure, U.S. bases within range, and shipping lanes that tie oil and gas to global stability. A major war would rupture supply chains, spike markets, and outpace neat military outcomes. That logic, combined with a domestic pivot toward BRICS and the SCO, sets the political price for any new deal. Expect discussions to focus on recognition of enrichment rights, rigorous but bounded inspections, and automatic reciprocity for noncompliance—nothing more on missiles or allies. We close by testing media narratives of Iranian fragility against mass mobilizations at home and a wider global mood swing on Israel-Palestine. Agree or challenge these assessments, the takeaway is the same: any agreement that lasts must align with how power, risk, and credibility are actually distributed on the ground and at sea. If this conversation sharpened your view, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the one clause you believe any durable deal must include.

Debt is exploding.Digital currencies are advancing.And war tensions are rising. Those aren't random headlines — they're warning signs. Today, we're connecting the dots between America's soaring interest payments, global digital currency developments, BRICS instability, and growing tensions with Iran. The system is more fragile than most people realize. And if you're not paying attention, you could get caught off guard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the most consequential “Marxist” of a generation refused to call himself one—and was more consistent for it? We dive into Immanuel Wallerstein's intellectual journey, from C. Wright Mills's classrooms to African political movements and a close reading of Fanon, to the long durée horizons inspired by Fernand Braudel. Along the way, we unpack how world‑systems analysis took shape against modernization theory, challenged neat stages of growth, and rejected methodological nationalism without abandoning struggles for national liberation.We trace Wallerstein's friendships and frictions with the thinkers often grouped as the world‑systems “gang of four”—Samir Amin, Giovanni Arrighi, and Andre Gunder Frank—and the Maoist currents that pulled many left intellectuals in the 1960s and 70s. Then we explore where they parted: Frank's ancient world system, Arrighi's China‑as‑hegemon thesis, and Wallerstein's claim that capitalism entered structural crisis in the 1970s, foreclosing any stable successor hegemon. We also revisit Monthly Review's influence (underdevelopment, unequal exchange) and what Wallerstein rejected (monopoly capital as a “stage,” stagist history, and nation‑bound strategies).If you've heard core, periphery, and semi‑periphery tossed around like a simple map, this conversation resets the frame: these are world‑systemic relations that cut within and across states. We highlight why Wallerstein's absolute immiseration thesis matters now, how his optimism lived in the transition—50 percent chance for a better system, 50 percent for worse—and why internationalism is the missing key when national victories stall out. From techno‑feudalism chatter to BRICS and the Belt and Road, we ask whether we're seeing a new phase or an old system failing, and what agency looks like on the far side of decay.Listen for a clear, historically grounded tour through Wallerstein's ideas, the debates they shaped, and the stakes they raise for today's left. If the road ahead isn't automatic progress, it's strategy and solidarity.

Le 24 février 2022, la Russie lançait ce que le Kremlin continue d'appeler une « opération militaire spéciale » contre l'Ukraine. Quatre ans plus tard, la guerre s'est installée dans la durée, les lignes de front se sont figées par endroits, durcies ailleurs, et le conflit est devenu un fait structurant de l'ordre international. Cette guerre, elle ne se joue pas seulement sur le terrain militaire. Elle se joue aussi sur le terrain des mots, des images, des récits. Deux narrations radicalement opposées s'affrontent. Pour Kiev, il s'agit d'une guerre d'agression, coloniale, impériale, visant à nier l'existence même de la nation ukrainienne. Pour Moscou, il s'agit d'une guerre défensive, existentielle, provoquée par l'expansion de l'OTAN, destinée à « protéger » les populations russophones et à corriger ce que Vladimir Poutine considère comme une erreur historique majeure : l'indépendance de l'Ukraine. Derrière ces récits, des visions du monde. Derrière ces visions, une lecture de l'histoire. Et derrière cette lecture, un projet politique. Quelle conception de la Russie, de son identité, de son rapport à l'Empire et à l'Occident a conduit Vladimir Poutine à déclencher cette guerre ? Quel est le récit dominant produit par le Kremlin pour la justifier et pour en soutenir le prolongement ? Comment ces récits varient-ils selon les publics : opinion russe, pays occidentaux, Sud global, membres des BRICS ? Et surtout : comment distinguer un récit politique — toute guerre en produit — d'une entreprise de désinformation structurée ? Dans ce conflit, l'absurde semble parfois le disputer au fatal. Mais rien n'est laissé au hasard : la production du récit est organisée, institutionnalisée, stratégique. Car c'est bien au nom d'une vision politique et historique que Vladimir Poutine et quelques autres ont déclenché cette guerre. Pour cette deuxième émission en partenariat avec l'INALCO, l'Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales et son programme DECRIPT portant sur les transformations du système international et les effets politiques et institutionnels de ces récits civilisationnels qui ont émergé sur la scène mondiale, Invités :  Ioulia Podoroga, philosophe et spécialiste de la littérature russe, maîtresse de conférences habilitée à diriger des recherches à l'INALCO.

At its peak, the BRICS coalition of economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – was seen as a serious attempt to move away from the United States dollar and the domination of Western economic institutions like the World Bank, Group of Seven (G7), and International Monetary Fund (IMF). But BRICS members have different political agendas, and new forces are at play, argues economist Jim O'Neill, a member of Britain's House of Lords. O'Neill, who coined the term "BRIC" 25 years ago, tells host Steve Clemons that the US's economic policies may be the driver of its own decline, coupled with the economic rise of China and India.

Today's episode breaks down Christian Briggs' Part Four of his policy paper, "China's Strategic Assault on Dollar Hegemony Through Banking Infrastructure, Critical Mineral Dominance, and the Architecture of De-Dollarization - Part 4". Christian pulls back the curtain on what may be the biggest monetary shift since 1974—and it's happening right now. Forget headlines about tariffs and trade deals. This episode argues Washington is quietly constructing a “Mineral-Dollar” system designed to defend the U.S. dollar against BRICS, yuan oil trades, and China's gold accumulation strategy.The thesis is explosive: the dollar isn't being replaced—it's being fortified. If the petrodollar weakens, America wants a second anchor already in place. That second pillar? Critical minerals. Rare earths. Lithium. Silver. Platinum. Cobalt. And eventually—gold.Through Project Vault, Section 232 tariff authority, and the launch of the Forge mineral trade bloc, the U.S. is building a multilateral pricing regime that could lock 30–50 nations into dollar-denominated mineral trade. Instead of oil forcing global dollar demand, it becomes batteries, semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and defense metals doing the job. The strategy mirrors Nixon and Kissinger's 1974 petrodollar architecture—but adapted for the Silicon Age.And then comes the bombshell: gold's exclusion from the 2025 critical minerals list wasn't a mistake. It was sequencing. Gold doesn't meet the technical “supply disruption” criteria—but it has already been quietly folded into executive orders expanding the definition of strategic minerals. If gold is formally added, it opens the door to government-set reference pricing and—most controversially—revaluing Fort Knox's 8,133 tons of gold from $42.22 per ounce to market value.That move would instantly unlock over $1 trillion in unrealized federal assets.The episode outlines a five-phase roadmap: lock in the mineral bloc, enforce tariff-backed price floors, expand processing capacity, integrate gold into the framework, and complete the mineral-dollar nexus by 2030. It also warns of accelerants that could compress the timeline—Chinese export embargoes, BRICS gold-backed settlement announcements, or a dollar confidence crisis.China won't sit idle. The podcast details how Beijing could respond with rare earth embargoes, yuan-denominated mineral trade, or accelerating gold purchases. But here's the twist: if the West aggregates its reserves, it may still control more gold—and more infrastructure—than China.The final message is clear: this isn't just trade policy. It's monetary warfare. The mineral dollar system is either America's next 50-year foundation—or the battlefield where the next financial order is decided.The only question left: who moves first?

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Underground Alpha, joins me for our monthly longer-format discussion on different macroeconomic factors, continuing to fuel the commodities supercycle in silver, gold, copper, uranium, and opportunities in their related resource stocks.   We start off discussing the extreme volatility seen in the price charts for silver, gold, platinum, copper and other metals since our last conversation in early January.  We reviewed that prices climaxed into the uber-bullish sentiment witnessed at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference in late January; right before correcting down hard in the days and week that followed.    After several more weeks of choppy price action, things are settling out; but Nick reiterates that investors should be embracing this volatility.  He points out that we are still in a structural bull market in the precious metals for a number of macroeconomic factors from interest rates, currencies, sovereign debt, ongoing central bank buying, the rise of BRICS nations, and even crypto stablecoin companies like Tether buying huge amounts of gold to back their Tether Gold (XAUt) product.   Tether is also directly investing into royalty companies like Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSXV: ELE) (NASDAQ: ELE), Gold Royalty Corp (NYSE American: GROY), and Versamet Royalties Corporation (TSX: VMET). Nick flagged that Streamex Corp. (NASDAQ: STEX), a leader in institutional-grade tokenization and real-world asset infrastructure, recently announced that it has acquired a 9.9% equity interest in Empress Royalty Corp. (TSXV:EMPR) (OTCQX:EMPYF).  We also discussed some of the larger transactions lately executed by the larger senior royalty companies like Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX: WPM) (NYSE: WPM), Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX: FNV)(NYSE: FNV), and Triple Flag Precious Metals (TSX: TFPM, NYSE: TFPM).   While there have been quite a few new entrants into the royalty space over the last couple years, Nick believes that the demand is there for more royalty vehicles, and that it isn't overcrowded yet, and we'll likely keep seeing more new companies launched as this sector continues to expand.    He pointed out the some of the quality prospect generator companies, like Headwater Gold Inc. (CSE: HWG) (OTCQX: HWAUF) and Almadex Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: DEX), have also accumulated royalties within their asset portfolios that provide future optionality to sell or spin out into new companies.   Next, we shifted over to the merger and acquisition transactions in the precious metals and critical minerals space, noting some of the unique M&A news of late, and outlining why the overall volume of deal flow is less than many expected considering the need to replace minded reserves, and the compelling value propositions of the development projects.   Nick outlines that this lack of takeovers of quality projects, while developers remain undervalued at current metals prices gives investors a unique opportunity to capitalize on these market inefficiencies.  He revisits prior comments made about Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) , and how since then the stock has gone up over a 100% after restating their economics in light of the underlying metals environment.   Wrapping up we shift over to the strong fundamental factors for nuclear power and compelling supply/demand imbalances for more uranium.  He discusses the permitting milestone achieved with Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN), the imminent spin-out of Verdera Energy from enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU), and that North Shore Uranium Ltd. (TSX-V:NSU) and Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SYH) (OTCQX: SYHBF) are 2 earlier-stage uranium explorers he's been adding to in his portfolio.   Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

On the Record with Christian Briggs – China, Russia, and the expanding BRICS alliance move to challenge dollar dominance through alternative payment systems, gold accumulation, and digital settlement platforms. Economic sanctions accelerate the shift, raising urgent questions about American power, financial security, and whether a new global monetary order is already emerging, before markets fully comprehend consequences...

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we're joined by economist Peter St-Onge, whose remarkable journey began with early investment success, only to be wiped out in the 2000 dot-com crash and lead him to reinvent himself as a bartender in Japan and eventually earn a PhD in economics. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Peter St-Onge dive deep into the mechanics behind market booms and busts—from dot-com to the rise of AI—exploring how economic forces like Federal Reserve policies, tariffs, regulations, and the ever-controversial debate between Keynesian and Austrian economics shape our financial landscape. You'll hear Peter St-Onge break down why asset holders consistently come out ahead, discuss the looming threats and unlikely contenders to the US dollar as the world's reserve currency, and weigh in on the real impact of government intervention. If you've ever wondered how to invest wisely in today's volatile market, see through the headlines, or navigate a system that seems rigged for the rich, this episode offers rare clarity—and actionable advice—for surviving and thriving in uncertain times. Stay tuned as we untangle the web of economic forces affecting us all and provide the insights you need to make legendary moves.

Today's episode breaks down Christian Briggs' Part Two of his policy paper, "China's Strategic Assault on Dollar Hegemony Through Banking Infrastructure, Critical Mineral Dominance, and the Architecture of De-Dollarization". What we're witnessing isn't just economic competition—it's a coordinated financial war against the United States. According to the breakdown, China, Russia, and the expanding BRICS alliance are executing a decades-long strategy to dismantle dollar dominance and build a parallel global financial system that cuts America out entirely.The podcast argues that the weaponization of sanctions—especially after the Russia-Ukraine conflict—was the turning point. When the U.S. froze foreign reserves, it sent a signal to the world: your money isn't safe in dollars. Since then, nations have been racing to protect themselves by abandoning U.S.-controlled systems like SWIFT and moving toward alternative settlement rails.At the center of this shift? China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and the rapid growth of BRICS as a financial counterweight to the West. Countries that once depended on dollar settlements are now trading in yuan, rubles, and rupees. The episode warns that this isn't symbolic diplomacy—it's structural separation.Then comes the gold bombshell.Central banks around the world are hoarding gold at record levels. Why? Because gold doesn't freeze. It doesn't get sanctioned. It doesn't require U.S. permission. The host frames this as the clearest signal yet that global leaders are hedging against a weakening dollar.But it gets even bigger.The BRICS bloc is reportedly developing a gold-backed settlement mechanism—sometimes referred to as the “Unit”—designed to operate completely outside the dollar system. Combine that with multilateral digital currency platforms like mBridge, and you have the skeleton of an entirely new monetary architecture forming in real time.Meanwhile, the episode raises alarming questions about U.S. regulatory policy. Why are Chinese banks allegedly linked to financial misconduct still operating under U.S. licenses? Why is Basel III reshaping Western banking rules while Eastern nations aggressively accumulate hard assets?The conclusion is stark: this isn't just about trade. It's about power.If the dollar loses its reserve dominance, America's geopolitical leverage shrinks overnight. The podcast leaves listeners with a sobering message—the global financial order is shifting, and whether by strategy or complacency, the United States may already be late to the fight.

President Donald Trump has ordered a second aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford, to the Middle East, escalating pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian diplomats have met in Geneva for another round of high-stakes negotiations. Is this strategic leverage—or a dangerous gamble?In this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones analyze the latest developments, the risks of military escalation, and what these events could signal prophetically for Israel and the Middle East.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Move over NATO, now there are even more acronym groups coming to challenge the “international rules-based order” that has been running and ruining this planet for half a century. As the BRICS+, SCO, NDB, ASEAN, and BRI emerge on the world scene, things are changing for the Globalists.With BRICS doubling the size of its membership group just in 2024, it is set to expand even further in the next decade as more and more countries slip through the grip of the Empire and escape to do business with sane and rational partners from their region of the world through the Belt & Road Initiative.—Video ChannelsWatch the video version of Macroaggressions:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcastBrighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/macroaggressions/—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.ioMerch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.comNatural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://GroundLuxe.com/MACROReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comAnarchapulco: https://Anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.ShopC60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://ChemicalFreeBody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://Macroaggressions.Gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comEMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macroAbove Phone: https://AbovePhone.com/macro/Van Man: https://VanMan.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://DollarVigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://AugasonFarms.com/MACRO—

Guest: Ivana Stradner. Russia employs "TV BRICS" and information warfare to control narratives in the Global South, aiming to undermine Western influence and establish a multipolar world order without using kinetic force.1865 KOLKATA

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Doomberg to the show. Doomberg is the head writer For The Doomberg Team and creator of the Doomberg Substack. The interview delves into the complex geopolitical landscape, focusing on the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world, with particular emphasis on the rising power of China and the potential decline of the United States. Doomberg argues that the world is effectively in the early stages of World War III, which began around 2014, characterized by economic and strategic conflicts between the Western-based financial system and the emerging global south led by China and BRICS countries. A significant part of the discussion centers on technological transformation, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Doomberg highlights the rapid acceleration of AI capabilities, with the doubling time of technological advancement potentially shrinking to weeks. He suggests that AI and robotics could fundamentally reshape geopolitical dynamics, potentially mitigating demographic challenges for countries like China. The conversation also explores critical mineral dynamics, energy markets, and the potential for de-dollarization. Doomberg believes there is substantial room for gold to appreciate as a neutral reserve asset, potentially reaching prices around $5,000 to $21,000 per ounce to rejuvenate US manufacturing and global trade settlements. Regarding the United States’ future, Doomberg remains cautiously optimistic. He argues that despite current challenges, the US has significant advantages, including being the world’s largest energy producer, advanced AI capabilities, and substantial natural resources. However, he emphasizes the importance of strategic focus and avoiding resource-draining international conflicts. Lastly the conversation touches on Europe’s diminishing global relevance, primarily due to its energy dependence and lack of industrial capacity. Doomberg suggests the European Union is already experiencing structural challenges that could potentially lead to its fragmentation. Ultimately, Doomberg presents a nuanced view of global power dynamics, emphasizing technological innovation, energy resources, and strategic adaptability as key factors in determining future geopolitical landscapes.

Tonight's episode breaks down the one “forbidden” word that shows up behind countless headlines. We connect the dots between oil markets, dollar dominance, and why certain countries become constant targets of pressure, sanctions, and “regime change” chatter. If you've ever wondered how the U.S. can run massive deficits, fund global military reach, and still keep the dollar at the center of world trade, this is the framework you've been missing.We also unpack the geopolitics around Venezuela, oil, and de-dollarization—including why alternative payment systems, selling energy in non-USD currencies, and BRICS-style alignment can trigger outsized reactions. This isn't a left/right conversation; it's a power-and-incentives conversation. If you follow global finance, foreign policy, or energy markets, you'll want this lens in your toolkit.Next, we shift to the West Bank and look at patterns of land pressure, displacement, and settlement-related violence, including how daily life is made harder in rural communities and how that reshapes demographics over time. We focus on tactics, incentives, and media blind spots—without the euphemisms that obscure what's happening on the ground.Finally, we dig into Iran and the way protest narratives get constructed—especially how major outlets rely on specific “human rights” sources, how those organizations are funded, and why that matters when the conversation turns toward escalation. The goal here is simple: follow the money, verify the sourcing, and watch how consent for conflict gets manufactured.My comedy news show Unredacted Tonight airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/4pm PT.

French-Serbian analyst Nikola Mirkovic discusses American Empire and argues that Western elites use propaganda and military intervention to maintain hegemony, at the expense of international law and the well-being of their own citizens. The conversation highlights the moral and economic decline of the West, contrasting it with the rise of the BRICS nations and a shifting multipolar world order. Nikola expresses concern over mass surveillance, the erosion of personal liberties in the West, and the potential for a Third World War resulting from imperial overreach. Ultimately, he calls for a new generation of courage, leadership, and return to national sovereignty to counter the current trajectory toward totalitarianism.

China and the Global Economic Order (Cambridge University Press, 2026) examines China's evolving relations with the Bretton Woods institutions (BWIs), specifically the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group from the 1980s through 2025. Using a combination of new qualitative findings and quantitative datasets, the authors observe that China has taken an evolving approach to the BWIs in order to achieve its multiple agendas, acting largely as a 'rule-taker' during its first two decades as a member, but, over time, also becoming a 'rule-shaker' inside the BWIs, and ultimately a new 'rule-maker' outside of the BWIs. The analysis highlights China's exercise of 'two-way countervailing power' with one foot inside the BWIs, and another outside, and pushing for changes in both directions. China's interventions have resulted in BWs reforms and the gradual transformation of the global order, while also generating counter-reactions especially from the United States. Gregory Chin is an Associate Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Politics, and Faculty of Graduate Studies at York University (Canada), with a focus on the political economy of international money and development finance, China, Asia, the BRICS, and global governance.

Over this period, central banks have added ~4,500 tonnes of gold, including unreported purchases. At the same time, foreign Treasury holdings have remained unchanged. Gold is redefining the global monetary system. Central banks maintain FX reserves—typically a mix of currencies, bonds, and assets like gold—to stabilize their currencies, manage liquidity, and hedge against economic shocks. U.S. Treasuries have long been the go-to asset because they’re considered ultra-safe, highly liquid, and backed by the world’s dominant reserve currency (the U.S. dollar, which still accounts for about 57% of global reserves). Gold, on the other hand, is a “neutral” asset: it’s not tied to any single government’s policies, can’t be printed at will, and serves as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks.This crossover isn’t just a blip—it’s a structural change driven by several factors: Key Driver Explanation Impact Geopolitical Tensions and Sanctions Events like the Russia-Ukraine war (leading to frozen Russian assets) and U.S. actions (e.g., tariffs, interventions in Venezuela) have eroded trust in dollar-denominated assets. Countries fear their reserves could be seized or devalued overnight. theguardian.com Accelerates “de-dollarization” efforts, especially among BRICS nations (e.g., China, Russia, India), which now buy gold at 3–5 times pre-2022 levels, averaging 60 tons per month. finance.yahoo.com Gold’s share in reserves has doubled to over 25% in the past decade. newsmax.com Rising Gold Prices and Diversification Gold’s price surge (up 70% in 2025 alone) mechanically boosts its reserve value, but central banks are actively adding to holdings rather than selling Treasuries outright. mining.com This reflects a pivot away from U.S. debt amid concerns over America’s $35+ trillion national debt, persistent inflation, and fiscal policies under the Trump administration. fundssociety.com Gold is now the second-largest reserve asset after the dollar (overtaking the euro in 2024), signaling a re-regionalization of global finance where gold absorbs outflows from U.S. bonds. lfde.com The gold and U.S. debt markets are similarly sized (~$25–30 trillion each), making this shift feasible without massive disruptions. Central Bank Strategy Emerging market central banks (e.g., People’s Bank of China, Central Bank of Russia) are prioritizing gold for stability in a multipolar world, while developed banks hold steady. americanhartfordgold.com Net purchases hit 1,000+ tonnes in 2025, with forecasts for similar levels in 2026. gold.org Could push gold prices higher—analysts at Goldman Sachs see $5,400/oz by end-2026, while extreme scenarios (full USD reserve loss) speculate $39,000–$184,000/oz if gold backs global money supply. vaneck.com This isn’t about ditching the dollar entirely but reducing over-reliance.   If trends continue, it could lead to sustained gold demand, higher prices, and a more fragmented international financial landscape.

The bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said EU foreign ministers took the “decisive step” because “repression cannot go unanswered”. She said ahead of the decision that the move would put the IRGC – a major military, economic and political force in Iran – on the same level as jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

So NO, Fulton County officials did not destroy these ballots, or tapes or any other federal election records THAT THEY ALREADY ADMITTED TO HAVING IN OFFCIAL COURT RULINGS BEGINNING 5 YEARS AGO.  https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/2016902941836198297?s=20 https://twitter.com/PatriotXV11/status/2016713624061116652?s=20 https://twitter.com/DAGToddBlanche/status/2016663357089001566?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016663357089001566%7Ctwgr%5E18c7aab2309ab32958cb900c1fa5f6df8f16003a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fbreaking-president-trump-announces-first-ever-assistant-attorney%2F     https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2016594714569441286?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2016901410441289982?s=20 https://twitter.com/DoWCTO/status/2016577329393242364?s=20 3800 Q !!Hs1Jq13jV6 ID: e6ce6c No.7943347 Jan 28 2020 14:46:22 (EST) DurhamBoat.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_boat Anons found the subtle hint dropped in the beginning.

SILVER SHATTERED $120/oz, steaming toward likely $1,188/oz post-RV!

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor delivers a stark analysis of global power shifts, economic decay, and national security. Following a lighthearted exchange about his title, Macgregor frames the charged atmosphere at the conference as a reaction to a world "waking up," citing silver's price surge and gold soaring from $2,500 to over $4,500 an ounce as symptoms of a deeper crisis. Macgregor argues that the era of American invincibility is over, painting a picture of a bipolar financial world. On one side is the fading Western, fiat-based system backed by "hopes and dreams," and on the other is the rising BRICS alliance, fueled by nations hoarding gold to escape U.S. dollar dominance. He criticizes recent U.S. foreign policy, from sanctioning Russia and Venezuela to threatening allies over China deals, as a reckless strategy that drives the world away from Washington.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

La semana pasada Donald Trump se presentó en el Foro de Davos con un anuncio que nadie se esperaba: el nacimiento del Consejo de la Paz, un nuevo organismo internacional que se encargará de velar por la paz en el mundo. El nombre era familiar para los asistentes ya que ese consejo existe, pero con una misión algo distinta. Nació en noviembre del año pasado con un mandato específico del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU: el de supervisar la reconstrucción y la desmilitarización de Gaza. Pero el presidente de EEUU lo ha transformado en algo mucho más ambicioso que, en la práctica, podría llegar a sustituir a la propia ONU. El nuevo consejo no solo servirá para encargarse de Gaza hasta que todo se normalice, Trump pretende que se convierta en una institución permanente en la que estén representados los Estados que quieran sumarse a él. La estructura del organismo refleja la visión personalista de Trump: ejerce como presidente ejecutivo con plenos poderes, derecho a veto y un mandato vitalicio que va más allá de su permanencia en la Casa Blanca. Pero su característica más insólita es su modelo de financiación. Está concebido casi como un club de golf. Los tres primeros años serán gratuitos, a partir de ahí los gobiernos tendrán que abonar mil millones de dólares para asegurarse una plaza permanente. La idea ha atraído ya a unos 25 países, entre ellos Arabia Saudita, Egipto, Turquía y Argentina, lo que viene a demostrar que el acceso directo a Trump pesa más que las alianzas tradicionales. La reacción internacional pone de manifiesto la fragilidad de bloques como los BRICS, que se han mostrado incapaces de ofrecer una respuesta unificada. El brasileño Lula da Silva ha sido el crítico más feroz. Otras potencias como China o la India se han decantado por la cautela para evitarse problemas y represalias comerciales en forma de aranceles. En el Kremlin, por su parte, miran desde la barrera con algo de suspicacia ya que este nuevo foro diluye el poder que Rusia tiene en la ONU desde el final de la segunda guerra mundial. Aún así, Putin ha fingido cierto interés para no complicar su relación con Trump. El éxito inicial de este Consejo de la Paz radica en que ha aprovechado el fracaso en Gaza tanto de la ONU como de los países musulmanes. Trump consiguió que el Consejo de Seguridad entregase su autoridad a una sola persona que ha entendido a la perfección hasta dónde puede expandirse. Eso sí, a Trump sólo le quedan tres años en el poder, cuando lo abandone es improbable que el resto de líderes mundiales sigan tratando de complacerle. A largo plazo seguramente no funcione esta iniciativa, pero a corto si que lo está haciendo. En última instancia este proyecto de Trump desmonta la idea de un "sur global" unido por su oposición a Estados Unidos. También demuestra que los BRICS son una coalición heterogénea e inestable frente a la hegemonía del dólar y el poder duro de Estados Unidos. El orden mundial se está redibujando no mediante consensos diplomáticos, sino a través del frío cálculo del interés nacional y la conveniencia económica. Aunque la viabilidad del Consejo de la Paz a largo plazo es incierta, su mera existencia ya ha roto el mito de la resistencia frente a Estados Unidos, dejando claro que, ante la oferta de Trump, la mayoría de los Gobiernos prefiere no significarse.

Send us a textWhat if “wealth transfer” isn't a windfall, but a wake-up call to build, steward, and govern? We sit down with Apostle Obi Pax Harry to unpack a bold thesis: Deuteronomy 8:18 isn't poetry—it's policy. God gives the power to get wealth, which means the next decade favors those who pair prayer with plans, revelation with research, and vision with value chains. We track her journey through revivals in Nigeria and the UK and use it as a launchpad to rethink titles as functions, not status, and money as mandate, not magic.From there, we chart four clear doors into the global economy: knowing your nation's redemptive gifts, laboring to understand God's will across earth systems, yielding to receive keys for hidden riches, and seeing with kingly perspective. That lens turns headlines into homework: BRICS currency moves, alternative payment rails, and even asteroid probes rumored to hold vast metals. If revelation is progressive, our stewardship must be too—into space, soil, and everything between. We explore how to turn resources into retained profits by building local processing, specialized schools, and intelligent supply chains that keep value at home.The heart of this conversation is mindset. We confront doctrines that shrink capacity, especially the fixation on generational curses. Patterns exist, but patterns break when decisions change. Riches can vanish; wealth endures because it is decision-driven and designed to serve three generations. 2025 stretched many of us—2026 is the thrust. Expect partnerships, not solo heroics. Guard your thought life, because ideas are where prophecies land. And start where you stand: invest small and early, steward the land beneath your feet, and cultivate governance habits that match your calling.If this reframed your idea of wealth, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review telling us the one investment—of time, learning, or capital—you'll make this week.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

In December of 2025, Brazil passed the BRICS leadership torch to India, which wasted no time revealing its priorities for the economic alliance—to build an international payment system that rivals the SWIFT system and chip away at U.S. economy hegemony by attacking the exorbitant privilege of the U.S. Dollar. Defending the dollar should be the easiest policy ever. Instead the Trump administration has accelerated the world’s collective desire to put the U.S. in its place and end our reign of economic despotism. -- If you like #UNFTR, please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify: unftr.com/rate and follow us on Facebook, Bluesky, TikTok and Instagram at @UNFTRpod.
