War on Iran is part of the US empire's larger attempt to re-impose its unipolar dominance on the global political and financial system, argues economist Michael Hudson. Washington wants to preserve dollar hegemony and the petrodollar, while disrupting BRICS and Eurasian integration with China and Russia. He is interviewed by host Ben Norton.

Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return for another deep dive into the weird and wonderful, kicking off with theories around the recent submarine disappearance and how it ties into solar activity and timeline anomalies. The hosts explore the concept of “soft disclosure” through science fiction and examine real-world parallels in black-site programs, missing 411 cases, and frequency manipulation. Discussions range from lunar energy harvesting and the moon as a potential base, to the importance of resonance and how ancient knowledge is being rediscovered. Brad unpacks Earth's magnetic cycles, Schumann resonance, and the collapse of the official climate narrative, while Zak connects spiritual awakening with geopolitical shifts, particularly around BRICS nations and de-dollarization. The episode also touches on Elon Musk's Twitter/X revelations, the use of dark magic in pop culture, and how to remain grounded in a matrix engineered for distraction. It's a mind-bending mix of science, speculation, and soul-searching, challenging listeners to look deeper and stay alert as the veil continues to thin.

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas y Nicole Rodríguez analizaron la frágil tregua en Medio Oriente, centrando la discusión en la amenaza nuclear de Irán, la eficacia del reciente bombardeo israelí y el rol de actores internacionales como China, Rusia y EE. UU. También examinaron las relaciones entre Irán y Venezuela, incluyendo el tráfico de uranio, la cooperación militar y la influencia del crimen organizado. Luego, se enfocaron en el panorama electoral chileno, con especial énfasis en las primarias del oficialismo entre Carolina Tohá y Jeannette Jara, sus implicancias para la izquierda y los efectos potenciales sobre las candidaturas de derecha. Se discutió la posible renuncia de Jara al Partido Comunista, la fragmentación del votante de izquierda, el rol del BRICS, y las limitaciones de Evelyn Matthei como candidata de oposición. Finalmente, reflexionaron sobre los escenarios presidenciales posibles y la aparente falta de convicción en la campaña de la derecha.

Liên Hiệp Quốc tổ chức sinh nhật 80 tuổi bên bờ vực thẳm. Mùa hè năm 2025, cuộc chiến xâm lăng của Nga chống Ukraina, chiến tranh tàn phá dải Gaza tiếp diễn, cuộc chiến 4 ngày giữa hai cường quốc hạt nhân Ấn Độ - Pakistan, và gần đây nhất là cuộc can thiệp quân sự Mỹ-Israel chống Iran với mục tiêu ngăn chặn Teheran sở hữu vũ khí hạt nhân, trong lúc châu Âu đang tìm cách đàm phán với Iran… Chiến tranh, xung đột vũ trang khắp nơi trước sự bất lực của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Cách nay tròn 80 năm, ngày 26/06/1945, bản Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc (LHQ) đã được 50 quốc gia thông qua, với một trong các tôn chỉ hàng đầu là duy trì hoà bình trên hành tinh của chúng ta. Định chế quốc tế ra đời từ Đệ nhị Thế chiến giờ đây có còn hữu ích với nhân loại trong mục tiêu bảo vệ nền hoà bình thế giới ? Định chế quốc tế ra đời ngay trong Đệ nhị Thế chiến Trong một cuộc toạ đàm với chương trình Địa chính trị của RFI, nhà sử học Chloé Maurel, chuyên gia về LHQ, ghi nhận không khí đầy hy vọng vào thời điểm LHQ ra đời. “Liên Hiệp Quốc đã được hình dung, được nhen nhóm ngay trong thời gian Thế chiến II, bởi các quốc gia chủ chốt của phe Đồng Minh và chính thức ra mắt tại San Francisco năm 1945 trong không khí phấn chấn, lạc quan cao độ, với niềm khao khát và thậm chí niềm tin vào một thế giới đoạn tuyệt với chiến tranh, bởi Thế chiến Hai là cuộc xung đột khủng khiếp, chưa từng có với nhân loại, khiến tổng cộng 60 triệu người chết… Trong Hiến chương LHQ có những nguyên tắc rất tiến bộ, như bình đẳng nam - nữ, tiến bộ xã hội, quyết tâm giải quyết xung đột bằng thương lượng, cũng như mục tiêu mọi người đều có việc làm, tức liên quan nhiều đến các vấn đề xã hội”. Trái với quan niệm của không ít người, xem Liên Hiệp Quốc như một định chế ra đời sau Thế chiến II. Trên thực tế, như vị sử gia nói trên nhấn mạnh, dự án xây dựng định chế quốc tế - tập hợp hầu hết các quốc gia trên địa cầu trong tương lai - đã bắt đầu hình thành ngay trong thời gian Thế chiến II. Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc được chuẩn bị từ năm 1941 đến năm 1945. Tuyên bố Saint James, tại Luân Đôn, năm 1941, chuẩn bị cho một nền công lý quốc tế tương lai, trừng phạt các thủ phạm gây tội ác chiến tranh, Tuyên bố Liên Hiệp Quốc (Declaration by United Nations) năm 1942, với 25 quốc gia của Mặt trận chống phát xít (đứng đầu là Mỹ, Anh, Liên Xô và Trung Hoa Dân Quốc), và các hội nghị Matxcơva, Teheran, Yalta, là những cái mốc đặt nền móng cho tổ chức Liên Hiệp Quốc ra đời sau đó, trước khi bản Hiến chương Liên Hiệp Quốc được công bố. Trong cuộc toạ đàm của chương trình Địa chính trị của RFI, nhà nghiên cứu Romuald Sciora - Viện Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques (Iris), tác giả cuốn ‘‘Ai muốn LHQ phải chết ?'' nhận định: “Khi LHQ được thành lập năm 1945 trên đổ nát hoang tàn của Thế chiến II, định chế này đã lấy cảm hướng từ Hội Quốc Liên. Dĩ nhiên, là có những sai lầm đã bị lắp lại, nhưng tuy nhiên, LHQ với Hội đồng Bảo an (hiện nay đã trở nên thực sự ít ý nghĩa và với nhiều người chúng ta là một cơ chế lệch pha trong việc quản lý các vấn đề quốc tế) vào thời điểm đó đã là một thay đổi cách mạng. Sự hình thành cơ chế này (với sự tham gia của Mỹ, khác hẳn với việc Mỹ đã không tham gia Hội Quốc Liên) có mục tiêu không để tổ chức này bị rơi vào thảm kịch như Hội Quốc Liên… LHQ đã là một sáng tạo của phương Tây, dựa trên các giá trị triết học phương Tây…, lấy cảm hứng từ các giá trị nhân văn chủ nghĩa lớn, ra đời vào thời Phục hưng tại châu Âu, được xác lập thành các lý thuyết sau đó trong thế kỷ Ánh Sáng ở châu Âu, được cụ thể hoá với sự trỗi dậy của các nền dân chủ phương Tây thế kỷ 19. Sự ra đời của LHQ năm 1945 và sau đó là Tuyên ngôn Quốc tế về Nhân quyền (1948), là sự hoàn tất của hệ thống này với việc hình thành chủ nghĩa đa phương.” Hành động của LHQ vì hoà bình trong thế giới lưỡng cực Mỹ - Xô: Những đóng góp và hạn chế Nói đến Liên Hiệp Quốc và hoà bình, nhiều người thường nghĩ ngay đến các lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Các lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của LHQ, thường được gọi là lực lượng “mũ nồi xanh” hiện bao gồm khoảng 70.000 binh sĩ, đến từ nhiều quốc gia, với 11 sứ mạng duy trì hòa bình đang được triển khai tại các khu vực tranh chấp, như giữa Ấn Độ - Pakistan, giữa Israel và Liban… theo đề nghị của các nước sở tại. Nhìn chung lực lượng gìn giữ hoà bình của LHQ thường chỉ có hiệu quả trong trường hợp xung đột giữa các lực lượng vũ trang có tổ chức chấp nhận ngừng bắn, thường là giữa hai quốc gia. Lý tưởng của Liên Hiệp Quốc về một “nền an ninh tập thể” - với việc thành lập một bộ tổng tham mưu, phụ trách trợ giúp Hội đồng Bảo an thực thi các nhiệm vụ quân sự, chiếu theo điều 47 của Liên Hiệp Quốc - rút cục đã không thể trở thành hiện thực, ngay sau khi LHQ ra đời, do thế đối đầu gia tăng giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô vào cuối thập niên 1940. Thế đối đầu Mỹ - Xô, và lá phiếu phủ quyết, khiến Hội đồng Bảo an không thể đưa ra các quyết định chung ngăn chặn chiến tranh. Trong giai đoạn này, Liên Hiệp Quốc “trở thành sân khấu cho cuộc đấu tranh quyền lực toàn cầu giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô”. Cạnh tranh này đã gây ra những cuộc xung đột thảm khốc mang tính khu vực, với các cuộc chiến tranh uỷ nhiệm (“proxy wars”), như ở Việt Nam và Afghanistan. Cuộc chạy đua vũ khí hạt nhân giữa Mỹ và Liên Xô từng đặt thế giới mấp mé bờ vực đại chiến, trước khi Liên Xô và Mỹ bắt đầu thương lượng về kiểm soát vũ khí chiến lược. Tuy nhiên, theo nhiều nhà quan sát, dù không giúp nhân loại tránh được một Thế chiến thứ ba, nhưng LHQ đã có phần đóng góp. Vào thời điểm căng thẳng cao độ của Chiến tranh Lạnh, LHQ là một diễn đàn để các nước nhỏ ngồi chung bàn với các nước lớn, các nước đối địch có thể chỉ trích nhau. Nhà sử học Chloé Maurel nhận xét : “Có thể nói LHQ là tổ chức dân chủ nhất trong các tổ chức quốc tế. Tổ chức này mang tính phổ quát nhất, nhân loại nhất, bởi vì tại Đại hội đồng, tất cả các nước, dù giàu hay nghèo, đều có một phiếu bầu như nhau. Đặc biệt, từ năm 1960, với việc phi thực dân hoá, nhiều nước mới độc lập gia nhập LHQ. Vào năm đó, có 17 nước châu Phi vừa giành được độc lập đã gia nhập LHQ. Trọng tâm của LHQ giờ đã thay đổi. Kể từ đó, LHQ bao gồm đa số là các nước ngoài phương Tây, ngoài châu Âu. Giờ đây, các thành viên thường trực Hội đồng Bảo an không còn tính chất đại diện khi đa số các thành viên LHQ giờ đây là ngoài phương Tây, là các nước châu Phi, châu Á, Mỹ Latinh.” Bức tường Berlin sụp đổ : Cơ hội vàng bị bỏ lỡ Sự sụp đổ của bức tường Berlin, và sự tan rã của khối Liên Xô được nhiều người ghi nhận như một thời điểm thuận lợi cho việc LHQ trỗi dậy, để đảm đương trách nhiệm thực thi các tôn chỉ của Hiến chương LHQ, gần nửa thế kỷ trước. Nhiều điều kiện đã hội tụ, nhưng bất hạnh thay, LHQ đã không tranh thủ được cơ hội vàng này, theo nhà nghiên cứu Romuald Sciora (Iris) : “Chúng ta vào thời điểm đó đã có được một tổng thống Mỹ George Bush cha, ngược hẳn với tổng thống Bush con, là một người nhiệt thành cổ vũ cho chủ nghĩa đa phương. Không phải chủ yếu vì người khác, mà bởi ông ấy hiểu rằng nếu nước Mỹ siêu cường muốn tiếp tục đóng vai trò kiến thiết trật tự quốc tế trong những thập niên tiếp theo và trong thế kỷ 21, thì chắc chắn Mỹ phải dẫn dắt được chủ nghĩa đa phương. Tổng thống Bush cha vốn là đại sứ Mỹ tại LHQ. Vào thời điểm đó, chúng ta đã có một tổng thư ký mới Boutros-Ghali (1992-1996), mà theo tôi là một người thực sự có tầm nhìn xa trông rộng nhất trong số các tổng thư ký LHQ, cùng với tổng thư ký thứ hai Dag Hammarskjold. Ông đã có nhiều kế hoạch hành động vì hoà bình, an ninh và dân chủ, phát triển… Và chúng ta đã có một Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hiệp Quốc đầu tiên ở cấp nguyên thủ quốc gia. Hiện tại có thể điều này được cho là bình thường, nhưng vào thời điểm đó, một tổng thống Mỹ ngồi chung một bàn bên lãnh đạo Nga thì thực sự là điều mới. Tóm lại, rất nhiều yếu tố thuận lợi đã có mặt vào thời điểm đó. Tuy nhiên, bất hạnh thay với LHQ, và có một chút mỉa mai ở đây, là tổng thống đảng Dân Chủ đắc cử, ông Bill Clinton, là người không hề có viễn kiến này, không hề ủng hộ chủ nghĩa đa phương chút nào. Chính quyền Clinton hoàn toàn ngoảnh mặt với các vấn đề quốc tế, mặt khác tổng thư ký Boutros-Ghali cũng không được ngoại giao lắm với tổng thống Mỹ. Rút cuộc một xung đột khiến ông Boutros-Ghali phải ra đi vào năm 1996. Vào thời điểm đó, lẽ ra LHQ phải có được một ảnh hưởng chính trị, nhưng rốt cuộc  ảnh hưởng chính trị của LHQ lại suy yếu.” Thế giới “Đơn cực” chuyển sang “Hậu đơn cực”, nguy cơ cáo chung của LHQ Ba thập niên sau khi Chiến tranh lạnh kết thúc, “Trật tự thế giới mới”, với nước Mỹ là siêu cường duy nhất (tức Thế giới đơn cực), mà nhiều người tin tưởng là sẽ được khẳng định vĩnh viễn, với sự toàn thắng của nền dân chủ tự do phương Tây, được coi là mẫu mực đối với toàn nhân loại, giờ đây đang đứng trên bờ vực tan vỡ. Cựu thủ tướng Anh Gordon Brown (2007 – 2010), cũng như không ít người khác, nói thẳng là “trật tự thế giới mới” của 35 năm vừa qua “đang sụp đổ trước mắt chúng ta”. Brian Brivati, giáo sư thỉnh giảng về lịch sử đương đại và nhân quyền tại Đại học Kingston, Anh, thì nói đến tình trạng “một trụ cột của trật tự hậu chiến đang tấn công một trụ cột khác”, khi “người sáng lập hàng đầu của Liên Hiệp Quốc (Mỹ) đang làm suy yếu thể chế này từ bên trong, sử dụng quyền phủ quyết của Hội đồng Bảo an để ngăn chặn hành động (phi pháp, như cuộc chiến của Israel tại Gaza, bị Toà án Hình sự quốc tế kết án, và Đại hội đồng Liên Hợp Quốc lên án), trong khi đồng thời làm cạn kiệt nguồn lực của tổ chức này”. “Sự kết hợp giữa một quốc gia hùng mạnh hành động vô trách nhiệm (Israel) và một siêu cường (Mỹ) vô hiệu hóa các cơ chế giải trình đánh dấu một bước ngoặt toàn cầu… và các cường quốc toàn cầu khác, bao gồm Nga và Trung Quốc, đang tận dụng cơ hội này để vượt ra khỏi hệ thống dựa trên luật lệ của phương Tây” (Xung đột Israel-Iran ‘‘đóng chiếc đinh cuối cùng vào chiếc quan tài của Trật tự thế giới'', France 24, ngày 19/06/2025). Chuyên gia Ian Bremmer, chủ tịch công ty tư vấn về rủi ro toàn cầu Eurasia Group, trong một bài viết trên trang mạng Carnegie.org, nêu bật tình trạng thể chế chủ chốt của trật tự thế giới như Hội đồng Bảo an “không còn phản ánh được thế cân bằng cơ bản của quyền lực toàn cầu”, và chỉ ra ba nguyên nhân chính của tình trạng trật tự toàn cầu bị đe doạ tan vỡ trong thế giới “hậu đơn cực” hiện nay : “Vấn đề cốt lõi mà trật tự toàn cầu phải đối mặt là các thể chế quốc tế chủ chốt của trật tự này — Hội đồng Bảo an Liên Hiệp Quốc, Quỹ Tiền tệ Quốc tế, Ngân hàng Thế giới, v.v. — không còn phản ánh được sự cân bằng cơ bản của quyền lực toàn cầu. Đây là một cuộc suy thoái về địa chính trị, một ‘‘chu kỳ suy thoái'' trong quan hệ quốc tế có thể bắt nguồn từ ba nguyên nhân cơ bản sau đây, theo thứ tự tăng dần về tầm quan trọng. Nguyên nhân đầu tiên là phương Tây đã không thể đưa Nga vào trật tự toàn cầu do Mỹ lãnh đạo sau khi Liên Xô sụp đổ, gây ra sự phẫn nộ và thù địch sâu sắc. Chúng ta có thể tranh luận về việc ai đáng bị chê trách, nhưng hậu quả là không thể phủ nhận: Giờ đây, một cường quốc trước đây đang suy yếu nghiêm trọng là Nga đã chuyển từ một đối tác tiềm năng thành một quốc gia côn đồ nguy hiểm nhất thế giới, quyết làm mất ổn định trật tự do Mỹ lãnh đạo và xây dựng quan hệ đối tác chiến lược quân sự với các tác nhân gây hỗn loạn khác như Bắc Triều Tiên và Iran. Thứ hai là Trung Quốc từng được hội nhập vào trật tự quốc tế — quan trọng là với tư cách là thành viên của Tổ chức Thương mại Thế giới — với giả định rằng hội nhập kinh tế toàn cầu sẽ khuyến khích các lãnh đạo của nước này tự do hóa hệ thống chính trị và trở thành các đối tác toàn cầu có trách nhiệm theo định nghĩa của phương Tây. Thay vào đó, Trung Quốc trở nên hùng mạnh hơn nhiều, nhưng không dân chủ hơn hoặc không ủng hộ nhà nước pháp quyền hơn. Căng thẳng gia tăng, thậm chí là đối đầu, giữa Trung Quốc và phương Tây chính là hậu quả của điều đó. Thứ ba, và có lẽ là hậu quả nghiêm trọng nhất, đó là hàng chục triệu công dân ở chính các nền dân chủ tiên tiến đã kết luận rằng các giá trị toàn cầu mà các nhà lãnh đạo và giới tinh hoa của họ thúc đẩy không còn có lợi cho họ nữa. Bất bình đẳng gia tăng, những thay đổi về nhân khẩu học và sự phát triển đột phá của các công nghệ đã làm xói mòn niềm tin vào các thể chế dân chủ và làm giảm năng lực lãnh đạo toàn cầu của chính các quốc gia này. Không nơi nào điều này có hậu quả nghiêm trọng hơn ở quốc gia vẫn không thể thiếu này, đó là Mỹ, nơi tổng thống Donald Trump vừa nuôi dưỡng vừa lợi dụng làn sóng phản toàn cầu hóa, phản thiết chế này.” “Chủ nghĩa đa phương”, cội nguồn sức mạnh của Liên Hiệp Quốc Trả lời phỏng vấn chương trình “Decryptage” của RFI (bài Chủ nghĩa đa phương khủng hoảng : Tương lai bất định của LHQ), Guillaume Devin, giáo sư danh dự Trường Sciences Po Paris, chuyên về LHQ và chủ nghĩa đa phương, nhấn mạnh đến tính chất không thể thay thế của LHQ trong việc giải quyết xung đột trên thế giới, đặc biệt nhờ “chủ nghĩa đa phương” và các hoạt động đa dạng và quy mô rộng lớn do LHQ tổ chức hoặc tạo điều kiện, nhằm giải quyết các cội rễ sâu xa của các xung đột : “Một trong các lợi thế của chủ nghĩa đa phương là mang lại các diễn đàn, mà ở đó mọi thứ đều có thể. Ở đó có các cuộc thảo luận chính thức, nhưng cũng có các cuộc trò chuyện hành lang, có các cuộc họp đa phương, nhưng cũng có các cuộc tiếp xúc song phương. Các diễn đàn này là không thể thay thế. Nếu chúng biến mất vào ngày mai, tôi nghĩ chúng ta sẽ ngay lập tức buộc phải tái tạo chúng. LHQ cung cấp các không gian cực kỳ quan trọng, các câu lạc bộ tương đối mở, khác hẳn so với các nhóm G7, G20, BRICS, v.v., vốn là những câu lạc bộ rất hạn chế thành phần tham gia… Và tiếp theo đó, Liên Hiệp Quốc không chỉ là những dàn xếp giữa các nước. Quý vị biết, chúng ta thường nói về ba Liên Hiệp Quốc. Đầu tiên là cuộc họp lớn của các quốc gia và các hoạt động liên quốc gia. Thứ hai là tất cả các cơ quan, chương trình và tổ chức chuyên môn của Liên Hiệp Quốc cực kỳ quan trọng, quản lý môi trường, y tế và hành động nhân đạo trên toàn thế giới... Và những điều này liên quan đến giải quyết xung đột. Như phát biểu của tổng thống Brazil, Lula, đòi hỏi phải giảm bất bình đẳng, đòi hỏi phải quản trị tốt hơn, và các cơ quan của Liên Hiệp Quốc đóng góp vào điều đó. Và cuối cùng, Liên Hiệp Quốc thứ ba là Liên Hiệp Quốc của ‘‘các tác nhân phi nhà nước''. Liên Hiệp Quốc là một nam châm thu hút đáng kể, làm tăng trưởng các tác nhân phi nhà nước, giống như Hội Quốc Liên, với tinh thần Geneva sau Thế chiến thứ nhất, từng huy động các hội cứu trợ và những gì mà vào thời điểm đó không được gọi là các tổ chức phi chính phủ, mà là các hiệp hội quốc tế đầu tiên.” Tuy nhiên, chủ nghĩa đa phương, vốn làm nên sức mạnh và sự hữu ích của LHQ, cũng là cơ chế đang đứng trước đe dọa bị hủy diệt trong bối cảnh thế giới hậu đơn cực hiện nay. Cứu vãn chủ nghĩa đa phương là một trong các mục tiêu hàng đầu của Thoả ước vì Tương lai, được các thành viên LHQ thông qua hồi cuối năm ngoái. Một nội dung chính của Thỏa ước này là hướng đến cải tổ triệt để Hội đồng Bảo an. Nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình có thể thay thế cho “nền hoà bình bằng sức mạnh” ? Thế giới “hậu đơn cực” đang bước vào giai đoạn đầy bất định. “Nền hoà bình bằng sức mạnh” đi kèm với chạy đua vũ trang là đang trở thành xu thế từ nhiều năm nay, điều mà nhiều người coi là tất yếu. Trong xu thế này, chủ nghĩa dân tộc, với quan điểm “lợi ích dân tộc” là “trên hết”, là “vĩnh viễn”, đang được thổi bùng lên tại nhiều nơi, tại các nước phát triển cũng như các quốc gia đang trỗi dậy, như giải pháp vạn năng để hoá giải các thách thức. Nỗ lực vì các giá trị chung đang ngày càng bị coi nhẹ, thậm chí bị khinh rẻ, đả kích. Nhưng giá trị không mâu thuẫn với lợi ích. Trở lại với cội nguồn của Liên Hiệp Quốc, định chế quốc tế ra đời ngay trong Thế chiến II, có thể rút ra nhiều bài học thành công và thất bại, về các giá trị nhân bản, chủ nghĩa đa phương trong truyền thống phương Tây đã giúp thúc đẩy sự ra đời của một định chế quốc tế toàn cầu chưa từng có, có sứ mạng bảo vệ hoà bình thế giới như thế nào. Nhiều người đặt hy vọng vào một “chủ nghĩa đa phương mới” (new multilateralism). Nhà chính trị học Pháp Bertrand Badie vừa cho ra mắt cuốn sách mới “Art de la paix” (tạm dịch là ''Nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình”). Trả lời RFI nhân dịp sách ra mắt, Bertrand Badie nhắc lại câu nói của nhà thần học Bắc Phi Thánh Augustino, “hoà bình trước hết đến từ việc thỏa mãn những nhu cầu căn bản của con người, ăn và có nước sạch”. Môi trường, khí hậu là tài sản chung. Khi môi trường, khí hậu bị xâm hại vì các lợi ích cục bộ và ích kỷ, khó có thể nói đến một nền hoà bình bền vững. Bertrand Badie khuyến cáo việc hướng đến xây dựng “những mẫu số chung” của nhân loại, một trật tự toàn cầu mới, nơi tất cả được tôn trọng. Liên Hiệp Quốc có còn hữu ích cho nhân loại hay không trong mục tiêu bảo vệ hoà bình phụ thuộc vào việc nhân loại góp sức ra sao cho nghệ thuật kiến tạo hoà bình, cho chủ nghĩa đa phương, mà Liên Hiệp Quốc đã và đang cung cấp một sân chơi chưa từng có trong lịch sử.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news tariff-tax cost threats to inflation are being joined by seasonal climate threats in the US.First, it is hot in large parts of the US, including the heavily populated North-East. Air-conditioners are working overtime. And that means electricity grids are overloaded. Retail electricity prices have spiked to nearly US$2,400/MWhr (NZ$4000/MWhr) during peak evening demand last night. Wholesale prices on Long Island topped US$7,000/MWh. Just for context, New Zealand prices this morning are about $60/MWhr. It's a crisis here they reach NZ$1000/MWhr.Meanwhile, US mortgage applications rose last week slightly from the week before, but only because refinance activity rose. Applications to buy a new home were down sharply from the prior week although up from the same week a year ago. Interest rates were little changed.But May sales of new single-family homes dropped sharply by almost -14% from the prior month to an annualised rate of 623,000 units and far below the expected 700,000 units rate and the sharpest decline since mid 2022. May 2025 was -6.3% below year ago levels. Getting the blame was uncertain economic conditions that is causing potential buyers to wait before committing to a purchase. And things could get worse - there are now 10 month's supply of built but unsold homes at the current sales rate. We may start to see some aggressive discounting ahead - or more builders going bust.The big US Treasury 5yr bond tender earlier today was well supported even if not quite at the level of the last event. This event delivered a median yield of 3.82%, a bit less than the 4.01% at the prior equivalent event a month ago.And in Senate testimony, Fed boss Powell acknowledged that tariff-taxes could be a one-off threat to inflation, but he said that is not a law of nature, and they are worried they could also drive persistent rises in costs. He said they will stay on guard until they know the actual effect.In China, their central bank injected ¥300 bln into financial institutions through a one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) into the country's banking system. This is what was expected.And in a first, President Xi will not attend the Brazilian-hosted BRICS meeting this year, the first time he has skipped that. The reasons why aren't clear, and that is fueling speculation.In Australia, their monthly inflation indicator fell to 2.1% in May, down from 2.4% in both March and April. That is a seven month low, and lower than the 2.3% rate expected. The main influence for the reduction were fruit & vegetable prices (from +6.1% to +2.8%), and travel & accommodation (from +5.3% to +0.6%).The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.29%, and down -1 bp from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,322/oz, and up an insignificant US$2 from yesterday.American oil prices are up +US$1 from yesterday at just on US$65.50/bbl while the international Brent price is now just over US$68/bbl.And we should probably note that the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Dutch oil company Shell is in talks to buy British rival BP. Currently, Shell is denying the report.The Kiwi dollar is now just on 60.3 USc, up +10 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are +10 bps firmer at 92.7 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 51.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 68 and +10 bps firmer than yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$107,062 and up +0.9% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas analiza el conflicto entre Irán e Israel, destacando que un cese al fuego no equivale al fin de una guerra y explicando que las causas profundas del conflicto, basadas en incompatibilidades ideológicas y religiosas, permanecen intactas. Critica a Donald Trump por su visión simplista sobre la guerra y se refiere al gobierno de Gabriel Boric, especialmente por su postura internacional y su participación en cumbres como la del BRICS, cuestionando la defensa ideológica de estas posiciones. Villegas también aborda el deterioro institucional y moral de Chile, denunciando la infiltración del narcotráfico en las Fuerzas Armadas, la expansión del Tren de Aragua y el uso fraudulento de licencias médicas en municipios. Reflexiona sobre la descomposición general del país y expresa su preocupación sobre la posibilidad real de recuperación.

Economist and strategist Simon Hunt lays out a bold, non-consensus vision of the years ahead, and it's nothing short of a global reset. In this gripping interview with Maggie Lake, Simon reveals why the U.S. is already in recession, why inflation is far worse than reported, and how a geopolitical escalation with Iran could accelerate the collapse of Western economic dominance. He explains how the BRICS nations are preparing a gold-backed system, why global supply chains are shifting, and why AI-powered factories in China are reshaping global economic power. Plus, he shares what investors must do now to prepare before the system breaks by 2028. Key insights: Why U.S. CPI is really 9–10%, not 3% The debt spiral: new debt is being issued to pay old debt A coming geopolitical trigger from the Iran conflict Gold, the yuan, and the ruble as post-dollar safe havens Why you should hold physical gold, not ETFs A commodity cycle: sharp fall, then double by 2027 The end of just-in-time and the rise of strategic stockpiling China's AI-driven factory revolution and arms race What a “short boom before the big crash” really means Volatility got you concerned?

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jonny Fry and chair of 2Tokens Alex Bausch speak with payments expert Richard Anderson about ANGU, a gold-backed stablecoin aiming to reshape how value is stored and transferred in Sub-Saharan Africa.Designed to replace unstable and informal USD reserves with a secure, inflation-resistant digital token, ANGU enables individuals and small businesses to make payments, store savings, and send remittances—without needing a bank account. Built to work on basic mobile phones using USSD, it brings financial inclusion to underserved regions.The discussion expands into global trends, from the explosive growth of dollar-backed stablecoins to the rise of asset-backed alternatives as BRICS and other regions seek to de-dollarize trade. Rather than replicate existing systems, ANGU offers a local, trusted model for everyday transactions, backed by gold, a universally recognized store of value in the region.Beyond consumers, ANGU targets SMEs, importers, and diaspora communities burdened by high remittance fees and limited infrastructure. The project aspires to reduce costs, revive dormant capital, and build a programmable financial layer fit for local economies—all while navigating regulatory paths and preparing for real-world rollout.This episode offers a compelling look at how tokenization and mobile-first infrastructure can unlock new opportunities across emerging markets.Participants:Alex Bausch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbausch/Jonny Fry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnyfry/Richard Anderson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardcharlesanderson/Do you want to join one of the use cases?

What if the future isn't coming—it's being hidden?In this explosive episode, investigative researcher Ashton Forbes joins geopolitical strategist George McMillan to examine how suppressed technologies like Zero-Point Energy (ZPE), teleportation, cold fusion, and AI could radically reshape the world. From the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370 to the power struggles in the Middle East, and the rise of the BRICS alliance, this conversation challenges the foundations of energy, warfare, and economics.We'll explore the implications of a post-scarcity, Star Trek-like civilization—where energy is free, borders are irrelevant, and centralized empires lose their grip. But will the truth set humanity free—or be buried by those who profit from war, debt, and ignorance?Presented in partnership with: American Made Foundation & American Made Actionhttps://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.org-Follow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comMake sure you follow Maverick Broadcasting Network on the following platforms:Pickax: https://pickax.com/maverickbroadcastingRumble: https://rumble.com/c/maverickbroadcasting Substack: https://maverickbroadcasting.substack.comX: https://x.com/mavbroadcastnet Maverick Broadcasting Network benefits when you shop with the following companies:MY GOLD GUY - https://mygoldguy.com/mbnAs inflation surges and global elites toy with our financial future, My Gold Guy empowers you to safeguard your wealth with physical gold and silver – a real asset for real Americans.

The BRICS Banknote was unveiled, and it represents “DOOM” for the mighty U.S. Dollar. The problem is the U.S. Government started using the Dollar as a weapon and told other countries “You can do this; you can’t do that, or else you cannot use OUR Dollar to settle YOUR trade”. Countries didn’t like that very much. The BRICS note is backed by commodities and that will weaken the Dollar sooner than later. 00:00 Intro 02:03 BRICS Bank Note Unveiled 07:46 Swift System 17:58 Dollar Down 19:10 Chris Reed Headlines 21:48 People like Firecrackers

Today we start by talking about the assassination attempt on one of the candidates for Columbia's election. Next we discuss NATO countries possibly being forced to increase their military spending to 5% of their GDP and how likely that is. Along that conversational thread, Germany now has a permanent tank unit (the 45th) stationed in Lituania. We then shift over to disucc BRICS and a few key members' desire to reign supreme in the AI race, as well as the implications that we may face in the west as a result of this being realised. Finally we end with a clip from a debate at Oxford about how most, if any, of the Islamic/Arab states dont actually care about Palestine or the Palestinian people; and want to use them more as cannon foder to further their aims with Isreal. How does this then tie into the current situation with Iran?To join us every Wednesday at 9pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

The United States and Israel are waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals? Ben Norton explains the imperial strategy to impose US hegemony on West Asia (aka the Middle East), destroy the Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, destabilize the revolutionary Iranian government, preserve the petrodollar system, prevent de-dollarization, divide BRICS, and break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership.

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas y Nicole Rodríguez abordaron en profundidad la escalada del conflicto entre Israel e Irán, destacando la ofensiva israelí sobre instalaciones nucleares iraníes y la posición vacilante de Estados Unidos en apoyar con armamento clave. También discutieron el trasfondo ideológico del régimen iraní y su vinculación con la izquierda latinoamericana, advirtiendo sobre la presencia del islamismo radical en la región. Posteriormente analizaron las primarias del oficialismo, cuestionando la autenticidad del “socialismo democrático” y la figura de Carolina Tohá, así como la narrativa del Frente Amplio. Luego evaluaron el caso de corrupción que involucra al gobernador Claudio Orrego, haciendo énfasis en el uso indebido de fondos públicos y la falta de responsabilidad política. Finalmente, se refirieron a la Visa Waiver y a la vigilancia de Estados Unidos respecto a la relación de Chile con los BRICS, destacando las implicancias diplomáticas y de política exterior.

Founder of the Raising Capitalists Foundation and previous co-host of The Real Estate Guys Radio show, Russell Gray, joins Keith to discuss the historical and current devaluation of the U.S. dollar, its impact on investors, and the broader economic implications. Gray highlights how the significant increase in interest rates has trapped equity in properties and affected development. He explains the shift from gold-backed currency to paper money, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the impact of the Bretton Woods Agreement.  Gray emphasizes the importance of understanding macroeconomic trends and advocates for Main Street capitalism to decentralize power and promote productivity. He also criticizes the idea of housing as a human right, arguing it leads to inflation and shortages.

I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, what's the real backstory on why we have this thing called the dollar? Why it keeps getting debased? What you can do about it and when the dollar will die? It's a lesson in monetary history. And our distinguished guest is a familiar voice that you haven't heard in a while. Today on get rich education.   Mid south home buyers, I mean, they're total pros, with over two decades as the nation's highest rated turnkey provider, their empathetic property managers use your ROI as their North Star.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  2:10   Welcome to GRE from St John's Newfoundland to St Augustine, Florida and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith weinholden. You are inside get rich education. It's 2025. The real estate market is changing. We'll get into that in future. Weeks today. Over the past 100 years plus, we've gone from sound money to Monopoly money, and we're talking about America's currency collapse. What comes next and how it affects you as both an investor and a citizen.   I'd like to welcome in longtime friend of the show and someone that I've personally learned from over the years, because he's a brilliant teacher, real estate investors probably haven't heard his voice as much lately, because until last year, he had been the co host of the terrific real estate guys radio show for nearly 20 years. Before we're done today, you'll learn more about what he's doing now, as he runs the Main Street capitalist platform and is also founder of the raising capitalists foundation. Hey, it's been a few years. Welcome back to GRE Russell Gray.   Russell Gray  3:19   yeah, it's fun. I actually think it's been maybe 10 years when I think about it, I remember I was at a little resort in Mexico recording with you, I think in the gym. It was just audio back then, no video.    Keith Weinhold  3:24   Yeah, I remember we're trying to get the audio right. Then I think you've been here more recently than 10 years ago. But yeah, now there's this video component. I actually have to sit up straight and comb my hair. It's ridiculous. Well, Russ, you're also a buff of monetary history. And before we discuss that, talk about the state of the real estate market today, just briefly, from your vantage point.   Russell Gray 1  3:55    I think the big story, and I'm probably not telling anybody anything they don't know, but the interest rate hike cycle that we went through this last round was quite a bit more substantial, I think, than a lot of people really appreciated, you know. And I started talking about that many years ago, because when you hit the zero bound and you have 6,7,8, years of interest rates below half a point, the change when they started that interest rate cycle from point two, 525 basis points all the way up to five and a quarter? That's a 20x move. And people might say, well, oh, you know, I go back to what Paul Volcker did way back in the day, when he took interest rates from eight or nine to 18. That was only a little bit more than double. Double is a far cry from 20x so we've never seen anything like that. Part of the fallout of that, as you know, is a lot of people wisely, and I was on the front end of cheerleading This is go get those loans refinanced and lock in that cheap money for as long as possible, because a loan will actually become an asset. The problem is, when you do that, you're kind of married to that property. Now it's not quite as bad. As being upside down in a property and you can't get out of it, but it's really hard to walk away from a two or 3% loan in a Six 7% market, because you really can't take your same payment and end up getting more house. And so that equity is kind of a little bit trapped, and that creates some opportunities, but I think that's been the big story, and then kind of the byproduct of the story. Second tier of the story was the impact it had on development, because it made it a lot harder for developers to develop, because their cost of funds and everything in that supply chain, food chain, you marry that to the 2020, COVID Supply Chain lockdown and that disruption, which, you know, you don't shut an economy down and just flick a switch and have it come back on. And so there's all of that. And then the third thing is just this tremendous uncertainty everybody has, because we just went from one extreme to another. And I think people, you know, they don't want to, like, rock the boat, they're going to kind of stay status quo for a little bit, whether they're businesses, whether they're homeowners, whether they're anybody out there that's thinking about moving them, unless life forces you to do it, you're going to try to stay status quo until things calm down. And I don't know how close we are to things calming down.   Keith Weinhold  6:13   One word I use is normalized. Both the 30 year fixed rate mortgage and the Fed funds rate are pretty close to their long term historic average. It just doesn't feel that way, because it was that rate of increase in 2022 that caught a lot of people off guard, like you touched on Well, Russ, now that we've talked about the present day, let's go back in time, and then we'll slowly bring things up to the present day. The dollar is troubled. It's worth perhaps 3% of what it was 100 years ago, but it's still around since it was established in the Coinage Act of 1792 and it's still the world reserve currency. In fact, only three currencies have survived longer than the dollar, the British pound, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc. So talk to us about this really relentless debasement of the dollar over time, including the creation of the Fed and the Bretton Woods Agreement and all that.   Russell Gray 7:09   That's a big story, as you know, and I always like to try to break it down a little bit. One of my specialties I'd like to believe, is I speak macro and I speak Main Street. And so when I try to break macroeconomics down, I start out with, why do I even care? I mean, if I'm a main street investor, why do I even care? In 2008 as you know, is a wipeout for me. Why? Because I didn't think anything had happened in the macro I didn't think Wall Street bond market. I didn't think that affected me. One thing I really cared about was interest rates. And I had a cursory interest in the bond market. We just try to figure out where interest rates were going. But for the most part, I thought, as a main street real estate investor, I was 100% insulated. I couldn't have been more wrong, because it really does matter, because the value of the dollar, in other words, the purchasing power of the dollar, and usually you refer to that as inflation, right? If inflation is there, the dollar is losing its purchasing power, and so the higher the inflation rate, the faster you're losing that purchasing power. And you might say, well, maybe that matters to me. Maybe it does. But the people who make the money available to the mortgage community, right to the real estate community to borrow that comes out of the bond market. And so when people go to buy a bond, which is an IOU, they're going to get paid back in the currency that they lent in, in this case, dollars. And if they know, if they're making a long term investment in a long term bond, and they're going to get paid back in dollars, they're going to be worth a whole lot less when they get them back. One of the things they're going to want is compensation for that time risk, and that's called higher interest rates. Okay, so now, if you're a main street investor, and higher interest rates impact you, now you understand why you want to pay attention. Okay, so let's just start with that. And so once you understand that the currency is a derivative of money, and money used to be you mentioned the Coinage Act Keith money, which is gold, used to be synonymous with the dollar. The dollar was only a unit of measure of gold, 1/20 of an ounce. It was a unit of measure. So it's like, the way I teach people is, like, if you had a gallon of milk and you traded, I'm a farmer, and I had a lot of milk, and so everybody decided they were going to use gallons of milk as their currency. Hey, where there's a lot of gallons of milk. He's got a big refrigerator. We'll just trade gallons of milk. Hey, Keith, I really like your beef. I you know, will you sell me some, a side of beef, and I'll give you, you know, 100 gallons of milk, you know, like, Oh, that's great. Well, I can't drink all this milk, so I'm going to leave the milk on deposit at the dairy, and then later on, when I decide I want a suit of clothes, I'll say, well, that's 10 gallons of milk. So I'll give the guy 10 gallons of milk. So I just give him a coupon, a claim, a piece of paper for that gallon of milk, or 20 gallons of milk, and he can go to the dairy and pick it up, right? And so that's kind of the way the monetary system evolved, except it wasn't milk, it was gold. So now you got the dollar. Well, after a while, nobody's going to get the milk. They don't care about the milk. And so now. Now, instead of just saying, I'll give you a gallon of milk, you just say, well, I'll give you a gallon. And somebody says, Okay, that's great. I'll take a gallon. They never opened the jug up. They never realized the jug is empty. They're just trading these empty jugs that used to have milk in them. Well, that's what the paper dollar is today. It went from being a gold certificate payable to bearer on demand, a certain amount of gold, a $20 gold certificate, what looks exactly like a $20 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE. Today they look exactly the same, except one says FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE, which is an IOU backed by nothing, and the other one said gold certificate, which was payable to bearer on demand, real money. So my point is, is he got money which is a derivative of the productivity, the beef, the soot, the milk, whatever, right? That's the real capital. The real capital is the goods and services we all want. Money is where we store the value of whatever it is we created until we want to trade it for something somebody else created later. And it used to be money and currency were one in the same, but now we've separated that. So now all we do is trade empty gallons, which are empty pieces of paper, and that's currency. So those are derivatives, and the last derivative of that chain is credit. And you had Richard Duncan on your show more than once, and he is famous for kind of having this term. We don't normally have capitalism. We have creditism, right? Everything is credit. Everything is claims on wealth, but it's not real wealth, and it's just when we look at what's going on with our current administration and the drive to become a productive rather than a financialized society, again, as part of this uncertainty that everybody has. Because this is not just a subtle little adjustment on the same course. This is like, No, we're we're going down a completely different path. But fundamentally, your system operates on this currency that is flowing through it, like the blood flowing through your body. And if the blood is bad, your body's sick. And right now, our currency is bad, and so it creates problems, not just for us, but all around the world. And now we're exacerbating that. And I'm not saying it's bad. In fact, I think it's actually it's actually good, but change is what it is, right? I mean, it can be really good to go to the gym and work out before we started recording, you talked about your commitment to fitness, and that if you stop working out, you get unfit, and it's hard to start up again. Well, we've allowed our economy to get very unfit. Now we're trying to get fit again, and it's going to be painful. We're going to be sore, but if we stick with it, I think we can actually kind of save this thing. So I don't know what that's going to mean for the dollar ultimately, or if we end up going to something else, but right now, to your point, the dollar is definitely the big dog still, but I think it's probably even more under attack today than it's ever been, and so it's just something I think every Main Street investor needs to pay attention to.    Keith Weinhold  12:46   And it was really that 1913 creation of the Fed, where the Fed's mandates really didn't begin to take effect until 1914 that accelerated this slide in the dollar. Prior to that, it was really just periods of war, like, for example, the Civil War, where we had inflation rise, but then after wars abated, the dollar's strength returned, but that ceased to happen last century.   Russell Gray  13:11   I think there's a much bigger story there. So when we founded the country, we established legal money in the Coinage Act of 1792 we got gold and silver and a specific unit of measure of gold, a specific unit, measure of silver was $1 and that's what money was constitutionally. Alexander Hamilton advocated for the first central bank and got it, but it was issued by Charter, which meant that it was operated by the permission of the Congress. It wasn't institutionalized. It wasn't embedded in the Constitution. It was just something that was granted, like a license. You have a charter to be able to run a bank. When that initial charter came up for renewal, Congress goes, now we're not going to renew it. Well, of course, that made the bankers really upset, because bankers have a pretty good gig, right? They get to just loan people money. They don't have to do any real work, and then they make money on just kind of arbitraging, you know, other people's money. Savers put their money in, and they borrowed the money out, and then they with fractional reserve, they're able to magnify that. So it's, it's kind of a cool gig. And so what happened? Then he had the first central bank, so then they got the second central bank, and the second central bank was also issued by charter this time when it came up for renewal, Congress goes, Yeah, let's renew it, right? Because the bankers knew we got to go buy a few congressmen if we want to keep this thing going. But President Andrew Jackson said, No, not going to happen. And it was a big battle. Is a famous quote of him just calling these bankers a brood of vipers. And I'm going to put you down. And God help me, I will, right? I mean, it was like intense fact, I do believe he got shot at one point. I think he died from lead poisoning, because he never got the bullet out. So, you know, when you go to up against the bankers, it's not pretty, but he succeeded. He was the last president that paid off all the debt, balanced budget, paid off all the debt, and we got kind of back on sound money. Well, then a little while later, said, Okay, we're going to need, like, something major, and this would. I should put on. I got my, this is my hat, right now, I'll kind of put it on. This is my, my tin foil hat. Okay? And so I put this on when I kind of go down the rabbit trail a little bit. No, I'm not saying this is what happened, but it wouldn't surprise me, right? Because I know that war is profitable, and so sometimes, you know, your comment was, hey, there's the bank, and then there was, you know, the war, or there's the war, then there's a bank, which comes first the chicken or the egg. I think there's an article where Henry Ford and Thomas Edison went to Congress. I think it was December. The article was published New York Tribune, December 4. I think 1921 you can look it up, New York Tribune, front page article   Keith Weinhold  15:38   fo those of you in the audio only. Russ started donning a tin foil looking hat here about one minute ago.    Russell Gray  15:45   I did, yeah, so I put it on. Just so fair warning. You know, I may go a little conspiratorial, but the reason I do that is I just, I think we've seen enough, just in current, modern history and politics, in the age of AI and software and freedom of speech and new media, there's a lot of weird stuff going on out there, but a lot of stuff that we thought was really weird a little while ago has turned out to be more true than we thought. When you look back in history, and you kind of read the official narrative and you wonder, you kind of read between the lines. You go, oh, maybe some stuff went on here. So anyway, the allegation that Ford made, smart guy, Thomas Edison, smart guy. And they go to Congress, and they go, Hey, we need to get the gold out of the banker's hands, because gold is money, and we need money not to revolve around gold, because the bankers control gold. They control the money, and they make profits, his words, not mine, by starting wars, because he was very upset about World War One, which happened. We got involved right after Fed gets formed in 1913 World War One starts in 1914 the United States sits off in the background and sells everybody, everything. It collects a bunch of gold, and then enters at the end and ends it all. And that big influx created the roaring 20s, as we all know, which ended big boom to big bust. And that cycle, which then a crisis that created, potentially a argument for why the government should have more control, right? So you kind of go down this path. So we ended up in 1865 with President Lincoln suppressing states rights and eventually creating an unconstitutional income tax and then creating an unconstitutional currency. That's what Abraham Lincoln did. And then on the back end of that, you know, it didn't end well for him, and I don't know why, but all I know is that we had a financial crisis in 1907 and the solution to that was the Aldrich plan, which was basically a monopoly on money. It's called a money trust. And Charles Lindbergh, SR was railing against it, as were many people at the time, going, No, this is terrible. So they renamed the Aldrich plan the Federal Reserve Act. And instead of going for a bank charter, they went for a constitutional amendment, and they got it in the 16th Amendment, and that's where we got the IRS. That's where we got the income tax, which was only supposed to be 7% only affect like the top one or 2% of earners, right? And that's where we got, you know, the Federal Reserve. That's where all that was born. Since that happened, to your point, the dollar has been on with a slight little rise up in the 20s, which, you know, there's a whole thing about whether that caused the crash or not. But at the end of the day, if you go look at St Louis Fed, which you go look at all the time, and you just look at the long term trend of the dollar, it's terrible. And the barometer, that's gold, right? $20 of gold in 1913 and 1933 and then 42 in 1971 or two, whatever it was, three, and then eventually as high as 850 but at the turn of the century, this century, it was $250 so at $2,500 it would have lost 90% in the 21st Century. The dollars lost 90% in the 21st Century, just to 2500 that's profound to go. That's right, it already lost more than 90% from $20 to 250 so it lost 90% and then 90% of the 10% that was left. And that's where we're at. We're worse than that. Today, no currency, as far as I understand, I've been told this. Haven't done the homework, but it's my understanding, no currency in the history of the world has ever survived that kind of debasement. So I think a lot of people who are watching are like, okay, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. And then the big question is, is when that when comes? What does the transition look like? What rises in its place? And then you look at things like a central bank digital currency, which is not like Bitcoin, it's not a crypto, it's a centrally controlled currency run by the central bank. If we get that, I would argue that's not good for privacy and security. Could be Bitcoin would be better. I would argue, could go back to gold backing, which I would say is better than what we have, or we could get something nobody's even thought of. I don't know. We don't know, but I do think we're at the end of the life cycle. Historically, all things being equal. And I think all the indication with a big run up of gold, gold is screaming something's broken. It's just screaming it right now, not just because the price is up, but who's buying it. It's just central banks.   Keith Weinhold  20:12   Central banks are doing most of the buying, right? It's not individual investors going to a coin shop. So that's really screaming, telling you that people are concerned. People are losing their faith in giving loans to the United States for sure. And Russ, as we talk about gold, and it's important link to the dollar over time, you mentioned how they wanted it, to get it out of the bank's hands for a while. Of course, there was also a period of time where it was illegal for Americans to own gold. And then we had this Bretton Woods Agreement, which was really important as well, where we ended up violating promises that had to do with gold again. So can you speak to us some more about that? Because a lot of people just don't understand what happened at Bretton Woods.   Russell Gray  20:56   What happened is we had the big crash in 1929 and the net result of that was, in 1933 we got executive order 6102 In fact, I have a picture of it framed, and that was in the wake of that in 1933 and so what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did in signing that document, which was empowered by a previous act of Congress, basically let him confiscate all The money. It'd be like right now if, right now, you know, President Trump signed an executive order and said, You have to take all your cash, every all the cash that you have out of your wallet. You have to send it all, take it into the bank, and they're going to give you a Chuck E Cheese token, right? And if you don't do it, if you do it, it's a $500,000 fine in 10 years in prison. Right? Back then it was a $10,000 fine, which was twice the price of the average Home huge fine, plus jail time. That's how severe it was, okay? So they confiscated all the money. That happened in 33 okay? Now we go off to war, and we enter the war late again. And so we have the big manufacturing operation. We're selling munitions and all kinds of supplies to everybody, all over the world, right? And we're just raking the gold and 20,000 tons of gold. We got all the gold. We got the biggest army now, we got the biggest bomb, we got the biggest economy. We got the strongest balance sheet. Well, I mean, you know, we went into debt for the war, but, I mean, we had a lot of gold. So now everybody else is decimated. We're the big dog. Everybody knows we're the big dog. Nine states shows up in New Hampshire Bretton Woods, and they have this big meeting with the world, and they say, Hey guys, new sheriff in town. Britain used to be the world's reserve currency, but today we're going to be the world's reserve currency. And so this was the new setup. But it's okay. It's okay because our dollar is as good as gold. It's backed by gold, and so anytime you want foreign nations, you can just bring your dollars to us and we'll give you the gold, no problem. And everyone's like, okay, great. What are you going to say? Right? You got the big bomb, you got the big army. Everybody needs you for everything to live like you're not going to say no. So they said, Yes, of course, the United States immediately. I've got a speech that a guy named Beardsley Rummel did. Have you ever heard me talk about this before? Keith, No, I've never heard about this. So Beardsley Rummel was the New York Fed chair when all this was happening. And so he gave a speech to the American Bar Association in 1945 and I got a transcript of it, a PDF transcript of it from 1946 and basically he goes, Look, income taxes are obsolete. We don't need income tax anymore because we can print money, because we're off the gold standard and we have no accountability. We just admitted it, just totally admitted it, and said the only reason we have income tax is to manipulate behavior, is to redistribute wealth, is to force people to do what we want them to do, punish things and reward others, right? Just set it plain language. I have a transcript of the speech. You can get a copy of you send an email to Rummel R U, M, L@mainstreetcapitalist.com I'll get it to you. So it's really, really interesting. So he admitted it. So we went along in the 40s and the 50s, and, you know, we had the only big manufacturing you know, because everybody else is still recovering from the war. Everything been bombed to smithereens, and we're spending money and doing all kinds of stuff. And having the 50s, it was great, right, right up until the mid 60s. So the mid 60s, it's like, Okay, we got a problem. And Charles de Gaulle, who was the president of France at the time, went to a meeting. And there's a YouTube video, but you can see it, he basically told the world, hey, I don't think the United States is doing a good job managing this world's reserve currency. I don't think they've got the gold. I think they printed too much money. I think that we should start to go redeem our dollars and get the gold. That was pretty forward thinking. And he created a run on the bank. And at the same time, we passed the Coinage Act in 1965 and took all the silver out of the people's money. So we took the gold in 33 and then we took the silver in 65 right? Because we got Vietnam and the Great Society, welfare, all these things were going on in the 60s. We're just going broke. Meanwhile, our gold supply went from 20,000 tons down to eight and Richard. Nixon is like, whoa, time out. Like, this is bad. And so we had inflation in 1970 August 15, 1971 year before August 15, 1971 1970 Nixon writes an executive order and freezes all prices and all wages. It became illegal by presidential edict for a private business to give their employee a raise or to raise their prices to the customers.    Keith Weinhold  25:30   It's almost if that could happen price in theUnited States of America, right?    Russell Gray  25:36   And inflation was 4.4% and it was a national emergency like today. I mean, you know, a few years ago, like three or four years ago, we if we could get it down 4.4% it'd be Holly. I'd be like a celebration. That was bad. And so that's what happened. So a year later, that didn't work. It was a 90 day thing. It was a disaster. And so in a year later, August 15, 1971 Nixon came on live TV after Gunsmoke. I think it was, and I was old enough I'm watching TV on a Sunday night I watched it. Wow. So I live, that's how old I am. So it's a lot of this history, not the Bretton Woods stuff, but from like 1960 2,3,4, forward. I remember I was there.    Keith Weinhold  26:13   Yeah, that you remember the whole Nixon address on television. We should say it for the listener that doesn't know. Basically the announcement Nixon made, he said, was a temporary measure, is that foreign nations can no longer redeem their dollars for gold. He broke the promise that was made at Bretton Woods in about 1945   Russell Gray  26:32   Yeah. And then gold went from $42 up to 850 and a whole series of events that have led to where we're at today were put in place to cover up the fact that the dollar was failing. We had climate emergency. We were headed towards the next global Ice Age. We had an existential threat in two different diseases that hit one right after the other. First one was the h1 n1 flu, swine flu, and then the next thing was AIDS. And so we had existential pandemic, two of them. We also had a oil shortage crisis. We were going to run out of fossil fuel by the year 2000 we had to do all kinds of very public, visible, visceral things that we would all see. You could only buy gas odd even days, like, if your license plate ended in an odd number, you could go on these days, and if it ended on an even number, you could go on the other days. And so we had that. We lowered our national speed limit down to 55 miles an hour. We created the EPA and all these different agencies under Jimmy Carter to try to regulate and manage all of this crisis. Prior to that, Nixon sent Kissinger over to China, and we opened up trade relations. And we'd been in Vietnam to protect the world from communism because it was so horrible. And then in the wake of that, we go over to Communist China, Chairman Mao and open up trade relations. Why we needed access to their cheap labor to suck up all the inflation. And we went over to the Saudis, and we cut the petro dollar deal. Why? Because we needed the float. We needed some place for all these excess dollars that we had created to get sucked up. And so they got sucked up in trading the largest commodity in the world, energy. And the deal was, hey, Saudis, here's the deal. You like your kingdom? Well, we got the big bomb. We got the big army. You're going to rule the roost in the in the Middle East, and we'll protect you. All you got to do is make sure you sell all your oil in dollars and dollars only. And they're like, Well, what if we're selling oil to China, or what if we're selling oil to Japan? Can they pay in yen? Nope, they got to sell yen. Buy dollars. Well, what do we do with all these dollars? Buy our treasuries. Okay, so what if I got this? Yeah, and so that was the petrodollar system. And the world looked at everything went on, and the world is like, Hmm, the United States coming back to Europe, and Charles de Gaulle, they're like, the United States is not handling this whole dollar thing real well. We need an alternative. What if all of us independent nations in Europe got together and created a common currency? We don't want to be like one country, like the United States, but we want to be like an economic union. So let's create a current let's call it the euro. And they started that process in the 70s, but they didn't get it done till 99 and so they get it done in 99 as soon as they get it done, this guy named Saddam Hussein goes, Hey, I'm now the big dog here. I got the fourth largest army in the world. I'm here in, you know, big oil producing nation. Let's trade in the euro. Let's get off the dollar. Let's do oil in the euro. And he's gone. I'm not sure I should put my hat back on. I'm not sure, but somehow we went into Afghanistan and took a hard left and took this guy out.   Keith Weinhold  29:44   Some credence to this. Yes, yeah, so. But with that said,   Russell Gray  29:47   you know, we ended up with the Euro taking about 20% of the global trade market from the United States, which is about where it sits today. And the United States used to be up over 80% and now we're down below 60% still. The Big Dog by triple and the euro is not in a position to supplant the US, but I think China, whose claim to fame is looking at other people's technology and models and copying it, looked at what the United States did to become the dominant economic force, and I think they've systematically been copying it. I wrote a report on this way back in 2013 when I started really paying attention to it and began to chronicle all the things that they were doing, this big D dollarization movement that I think still has legs. It's the BRICS movement. It's all the central banks buying gold. It's the bilateral trade agreements where people are doing business outside the dollar. There's been not just that, but also putting together the infrastructure, right? The Asian Infrastructure Bank is an alternative to the IMF looking, if you have you read Confessions of an economic hitman. No. Okay, so this is a guy that used to work in the government, I think, CIA or something, and he would go down and he'd cut deals with leaders of countries to get them to borrow from the United States to put in key infrastructure so they could trade with the US. And then, of course, if they defaulted, then the US owned that in the infrastructure. You can look it up. His name is Perkins, right. Look it up confessions of economic hit now, but you see China doing the same thing. China's got their Belt and Road Initiative. And you go through, and if you want to trade with China on that route, you have traded, you're gonna have to have infrastructure. You can eat ports. You're gonna need terminals for distribution. But you, Oh, you don't have the money. We'll loan it to you, and we'll loan it to you and you want. Now we're creating demand for you want, and we also are enslaving borrower servant to the lender. We're beginning to enslave these other nations under the guise of helping them by financing their growth so they can do business with us. It's the same thing the United States did and Shanghai Gold Exchange, as opposed to the London Bullion exchange. So all of the key pieces of infrastructure that were put in place to facilitate Western hegemony in the financial markets the Chinese have been systematically putting in place with bricks, and so there's a reason we're in this big trade war right now. We recognize that they had started to get in a position where they were actually a real threat, and we got to cut their legs out from underneath them before they get any stronger. Again, I should put my hat back on. Nobody's calling me up and telling me, I'm just reading between the lines. Sure,   Keith Weinhold  32:23   there certainly are more competitors to the dollar now. And can you imagine what rate of inflation that we would have had if we had not outsourced our labor and productivity over to a low wage place like China in the east? Russ and I have been talking about the long term debasement of the dollar and why. More on that when we come back, including what Russ is up to today. You're listening to get rich education. Our guest is Russell Gray. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, the same place where I get my own mortgage loans is where you can get yours. Ridge lending group and MLS, 42056, they provided our listeners with more loans than anyone because they specialize in income properties. They help you build a long term plan for growing your real estate empire with leverage. Start your pre qual and even chat with President Chaley Ridge personally while it's on your mind, start at Ridge lendinggroup.com that's Ridge lendinggroup.com. You know what's crazy? Your bank is getting rich off of you. The average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time, in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back. No weird lockups or anything like that. So if you're like me and tired of your liquid funds just sitting there doing nothing. Check it out.

You're listening to the always valuable. Get rich education with Keith Weinhold, don't quit your Daydream.    Keith Weinhold  34:52   Welcome back to get rich education. We're talking with the main street capitalists Russell gray about this long term debasement of the dollar. It's an. Inevitable. It's one of the things we actually can forecast with pretty good predictability that the dollar will continue to debase. It's one of the few almost guarantees that we have in investing. So we can think about how we want to play that Russ one thing I wonder about is, did we have to completely de peg the dollar from gold? Couldn't we have just diluted it where we could instead say, Well, hey, now, instead of just completely depegging the dollar from gold, we could say, well, now it takes 10 times as many dollars as it used to to redeem it for an ounce of gold. Did it make it more powerful that we just completely de pegged it 100%   Russell Gray  35:36   it would disempower the monopoly. Right? In other words, I think that the thing from the very beginning, was scripted to disconnect from the accountability of gold, which is what sound money advocates want. They want some form of independent Accountability. Gold is like an audit to a financial system. If you're the bankers and you're running the program, the last thing in the world you want is a gold standard, because it limits your ability to print money out of thin air and profit from that. So I don't think the people who are behind all of this are, in no way, shape or form, interested in doing anything that's going to limit their power or hold them accountable. They want just the opposite. I think if they could wave a magic wand and pick their solution to the problem, it would be central bank digital currency, which would give them ultimate control. Yeah. And it wouldn't surprise me if we maybe, perhaps, were on a path where some crises were going to converge, whether it's opportunistic, meaning that the crisis happened on its own, and quote Rahm Emanuel and whoever he was quoting, you know, never let a good crisis go to waste, and you're just opportunistic, or, you know, put the conspiracy theory hat on, and maybe these crises get created in order to facilitate the power grab. I don't know. It really doesn't matter what the motives are or how it happens at the end of the day, it's what happens. It happened in 33 it happened in 60. In 71 it's what happens. And so it's been a systematic de pegging of any form of accountability. I mean, we used to have a budget ceiling. We used to talk about now it's just like, it's routine. You blow right through it, right, right. There's you balance. I mean, when's the last time you even had a budget? Less, less, you know, much less anything that looked like a valid balanced budget amendment. So I think there's just no accountability other than the voting booth. And, you know, I think maybe you could make the argument that whether you like Trump or not, the public's apparent embrace of him, show you that the main street and have a lot of faith in Main Street. I think Main Street is like, you know what? This is broken. I don't know what's how to fix it, but somebody just needs to go in and just tear this thing down and figure out a new plant. Because I think if you anybody paying attention, knows that this perpetual debasement, which is kind of the theme of the show is it creates haves and have nots. Guys like you who understand how to use real estate to short the dollar, especially when you marry it to gold, which is one of my favorite strategies to double short the dollar, can really magnify the power of inflation to pull more wealth onto your balance sheet. Problem is the people who aren't on that side of the coin are on the other side of the coin, and so the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Well, the first order of business in a system we can't control is help as many people be on the rich get richer. That's why we had the get rich show, right? Let's help other people get rich. Because if I'm the only rich guy in the room, all the guns are pointed at me, right? I wanted everybody as rich as possible. I think Trump and Kiyosaki wrote about that in their book. Why we want you to be rich, right? When everybody's prospering, it's it's better, it's safer, you have people to trade with and whatnot, but we have eviscerated the middle class because industry has had to go access cheap labor markets in order to compensate for this inflation. And you know, you talk about the Fed mandate, which is 2% inflation, price inflation, 2% so if you say something that costs $1 today, a year from now, is going to cost $1 too, you think, well, maybe that's not that bad. But here's the problem, the natural progression of Business and Technology is to lower the cost, right? So you have something cost $1 today, and because somebody's using AI and internet and automation and robots and all this technology, right? And the cost, they could really sell it for 80 cents. And so the Fed looks at and goes, Let's inflate to $1.02 that's not two cents of inflation. That's 22 cents of inflation. And so there's hidden inflation. The benefits of the gains in productivity don't show up in the CPI, but it's like deferred maintenance on an apartment building. You can make your cash flow look great if you're not setting anything aside for the inevitable day when that roof is going to go out and that parking lot is going to need to be repaved, right? And you don't know how far out you are until you get there and you're like, wow, I'm really short, and I think that we have been experiencing for decades. The theft of the benefit of our productivity gains, and we're not just a little bit out of position. We're way out of position. That's   Keith Weinhold  40:07   a great point. Like I had said earlier, imagine what the rate of inflation would be if we hadn't outsourced so much of our labor and productivity to low cost China. And then imagine what the rate of inflation would be as well, if you would factor in all of this increased productivity and efficiency, the natural tendencies of which are to make prices go lower as society gets more productive, but instead they've gone higher. So when you adjust for some of these factors, you just can't imagine what the true debased purchasing power of the dollar is. It's been happening for a long time. It's inevitable that it's going to continue to happen in the future. So this has been a great chat about the history and us understanding what the powers that be have done to debase our dollar. It's only at what rate we don't know. Russ, tell us more about what you're doing today. You're really out there more as a champion for Main Street in capitalism.   Russell Gray  41:04   I mean, 20 years with Robert and the real estate guys, and it was fantastic. I loved it. I went through a lot, obviously, in 2008 and that changed me a little bit. Took me from kind of being a blocking and tackling, here's how you do real estate, and to really understanding macro and going, you know, it doesn't matter. You can do like I did, and you build this big collection. Big collection of properties and you lose it all in a moment because you don't understand macro. So I said, Okay, I want to champion that cause. And so we did that. And then we saw in the 2012 JOBS Act, the opportunity for capital raisers to go mainstream and advertise for credit investors. And I wrote a report then called the new law breaks Wall Street monopoly. And I felt like that was going to be a huge opportunity, and we pioneered that. But then after my late wife died, and I had a chance to spend some time alone during COVID, and I thought, life is short. What do I really want to accomplish before I go? And then I began looking at what was going on in the world. I see now a couple of things that are both opportunities and challenges or causes to be championed. And one is the mega trend that I believe the world is going you know, some people call it a fourth turning whatever. I don't consider that kind of we have to fall off a cliff as Destiny type of thing to be like cast in stone. But what I do see is that people are sick and tired of monopolies. We're sick and tired of big tech, we're sick and tired of big media, we're sick and tired of big government. We're sick and tired of big corporations, we don't want it, and big banks, right? So you got the rise of Bitcoin, you got people trying to get out from underneath the Western hegemony, as we've been talking about decentralization of everything. Our country was founded on the concept of decentralization, and so people don't understand that, right? It used to be everything was centralized. All powers in the king. Real Estate meant royal property. That's what real estate it's not like real asset, like tangible it's royal estate. It's royal property. Everything belonged to the king, and you just got to work it like a serf. And then you got to keep 75% in your produce, and you sent 25% you sent 25% through all the landlords, the land barons, and all the people in the hierarchy that fed on running things for the king, but you didn't own anything. Our founder set that on, turn that upside down, and said, No, no, no, no, no, it's not the king that's sovereign. It's the individual. The individual is sovereign. It isn't the monarchy, it's the individual states. And so we're going to bring the government, small. The central government small has only got a couple of obligations, like protect the borders, facilitate interstate commerce, and let's just have one common currency so that we can do business together. Other than that, like, the state's just going to run the show. Of course, Lincoln kind of blew that up, and it's gotten a lot worse after FDR, so I feel like we're under this big decentralization movement, and I think Main Street capitalism is the manifestation of that. If you want to decentralize capitalism, the gig economy, if you want to be a guy like you, and you can run your whole business off your laptop with a microphone and a camera, you know, in today's day and age with technology, people have tasted the freedom of decentralization. So I think the rise of the entrepreneur, I think the ability to go build a real asset portfolio and get out of the casinos of Wall Street. I think right now, if we are successful in bringing back these huge amounts of investment, Trump's already announced like two and a half or $3 trillion of investment, people are complaining, oh, the world is selling us. Well, they're selling stocks and they're selling but they're putting the money actually into creating businesses here in the United States that's going to create that primary driver, as you well know, in real estate, that's going to create the secondary and tertiary businesses, and the properties they're going to use all kinds of Main Street opportunity are going to grow around that. I lived in Silicon Valley, when a company would get funded, it wasn't just a company that prospered, it was everything around that company, right? All these companies. I remember when Apple started. I remember when Hewlett Packard, it was big, but it got a lot bigger, right there. I watched all that happen in Silicon Valley. I think that's going to happen again. I think we're at the front end of that. And so that's super exciting. Wave. The second thing that is super important is this raising capitalist project. And the reason I'm doing it is because if we don't train our next generation in the principles of capitalism and the freedom that it how it decentralizes Their personal economy, and they get excited about Bitcoin, but that's not productive. I'm not putting it down. I'm just saying it's not productive. You have to be productive. You want to have a decentralized currency. Yes, you want to decentralize productivity. That's Main Street capitalism. If kids who never get a chance to be in the productive economy get to vote at 1819, 2021, 22 before they've ever earned a paycheck, before they have any idea, never run a business. Somebody tells them, hey, those guys that have all that money and property, they cheated. It's not fair. We need to take from them. We need to limit them, not thinking, Oh, well, if I do that, when I get to be there, that what I'm voting for is going to get on me. Right now, Keith, there are kids in ninth grade who are going to vote for your next president, right?   Keith Weinhold  45:56   And they think capitalism is evil. This is part of what you're doing with the raising capitalists project, helping younger people think differently. Russ, I have one last thing to ask you. This has to do with the capitalism that you're championing on your platforms now. And real estate, I continue to see sometimes I get comments on my YouTube channel, especially maybe it's more and more people increasingly saying, Hey, I think housing should be a human right. So talk to us about that. And maybe it's interesting, Russ, if I take the other side of it and play devil's advocate, people who think housing is a human right, they say something like, the idea is that housing, you know, it's a fundamental need, just like food and clean water and health care are without stable housing. It's incredibly hard for a person to access opportunities like work and education or health care or participate meaningfully in society at all. So government ought to provide housing for everybody. What are your thoughts there?   Russell Gray  46:54   Well, it's inherently inflationary, which is the root cause of the entire problem. So anytime you create consumption without production, you're going to have more consumers than producers, and so you're going to have more competition for those goods. The net, net truth of what happens in that scenario are shortages everywhere. Every civilization that's ever tried any form of system where people just get things for free because they need them, end up with shortages in poverty. It doesn't lift everybody. It ruins everything. I mean, that's not conjecture. That's history, and so that's just the way it works. And if you just were to land somebody on a desert island and you had an economy of one, they're going to learn really quick the basic principles of capitalism, which is production always precedes consumption, always 100% of the time, right? If you're there on that desert island and you don't hunt fish or gather, you don't eat, right? You don't get it because, oh, it's a human right to have food. Nope, it's a human right to have the right to go get food. Otherwise, you're incarcerated, you have to have the freedom of movement to go do something to provide for yourself, but you cannot allow people to consume without production. So everybody has to produce. And you know, if you go back to the Plymouth Rock experiment, if you're familiar with that at all, yeah, yeah. So you know, just for anybody who doesn't know, when the Pilgrims came over here in the 1600s William Bradford was governor, and they tried it. They said, Hey, we're here. Let's Stick Together All for one and one for all. Here's the land. Everybody get up every day and work. Everybody works, and everybody eats. They starved. And so he goes, Okay, guys, new plan. All right, you wine holds. See this little plot of land, that's yours. You work it. You can eat whatever you produce. Over there, you grace. You're going to do yours and Johnson's, you're going to do yours, right? Well, what happened is now everybody got up and worked, and they created more than enough for their own family, and they had an abundance. And the abundance was created out of their hunger. When they went to serve their own needs, they created abundance forever others. That's the premise of capitalism. It's not the perfect system. There is no perfect system. We live in a world where human beings have to work before they get to eat. When I say eat, it could be having a roof over their head. It could be having clothes. It could be going on vacation. It could be having a nice car. It could be getting health care. It doesn't matter what it is, whatever it is you need. You have the right, or should have, the right, in a free system to go earn that by being productive, but the minute somebody comes and says, Oh, you worked, and I'm going to take what you produced and give it to somebody else who didn't, that's patently unfair, but economically, it's disastrous, because it incentivizes people not to work, which creates less production, more consumption. I have another analogy with sandwich makers, but you can imagine that if you got a group if you got a group of people making sandwiches, one guy starts creating coupons for sandwiches. Well then if somebody says, Okay, well now we got 19 people providing for 20. That's okay, but then all the guys making sandwiches. Why making sandwiches? I'm gonna get the coupon business pretty soon. You got 18 guys doing coupons, only two making sandwiches. Not. Have sandwiches to go around all the sandwiches cost tons of coupons because we got way more financialization than productivity, right? That's the American economy. We have to fix that. We can't have people making money by just trading on other people's productivity. We have to have people actually being productive. This is what I believe the administration is trying to do, rebuild the middle class, rebuild that manufacturing base, make us a truly productive economy, and then you don't have to worry about these things, right? We're going to create abundance. And if you don't have the inflation is which is coming from printing money out of thin air and giving to people who don't produce, then housing, all sudden, becomes affordable. It's not a problem. Health care becomes affordable. Everything becomes affordable because you create abundance, because everybody's producing the system is fundamentally broken. Now we have to learn how to profit in it in its current state, which is what you teach people how to do. We also have to realize that it's not sustainable. We're on an unsustainable path, and we're probably nearing that event horizon, the path of no return, where the system is going to break. And the question is, is, how are you going to be prepared for it when it happens? Number two, are you going to be wise enough to advocate when you get a chance to cast a vote or make your voice heard for something that's actually going to create prosperity and freedom versus something that's going to create scarcity and oppression? And that's the fundamental thing that we have to master as a society. We got to get to our youth, because they're the biggest demographic that can blow the thing up, and they're the ones that have been being indoctrinated the worst.   Keith Weinhold  51:29   Yes, Fed Chair Jerome Powell himself said that we live in a economic system today that is unsustainable. Yes, the collectivism we touched on quickly descends into the tyranny of the majority. And in my experience, historically, the success of public housing projects has been or to mixed at best, residents often don't respect the property when they don't have an equity stake in it or even a security deposit tied up in it, and blight and high crime rates have often followed with these public housing projects. When you go down that path of making housing as a human right, like you said earlier, you have a right to go procure housing for yourself, just not to ask others to pay for it for you. Well, Russ, this has been great. It's good to have your voice back on the show. Here again, here on a real estate show. If people want to connect with you, continue to see what you've been up to and the good projects that you're working on, promoting the virtues of capitalism. What's the best way for them to do that?   Russell Gray  52:31   I think just send an email to follow at Russell Gray, R, U, S, S, E, L, L, G, R, A, y.com, let you know where I am on social media. I'll let you know when I put out new content. I'll let you know when I'm a guest on somebody somebody's show and I'm on the cusp of getting my own show finally launched. I've been doing a lot of planning to get that out, but I'm excited about it because I do think, like I said, The time is now, and I think the marketplace is ripe, and I do speak Main Street and macro, and I hope I can add a nuance to the conversation that will add value to people.   Keith Weinhold  53:00   Russ, it's been valuable as always. Thanks so much for coming back onto the show. Thanks, Keith.   Yeah, terrific, historic outline from Russ about the long term decline of the dollar. It's really a fresh reminder and motivator to keep being that savvy borrower. Of course, real estate investors have access to borrow giant sums of dollars and short the currency that lay people do not. In fact, lay people don't even understand that it's a viable strategy at all. Like he touched on, Russ has really been bringing an awareness about how decentralization is such a powerful force that reshapes society. In fact, he was talking about that the last time that I saw him in person a few months ago. Notably, he touched on Nixon era wage and price controls. Don't you find it interesting? Fascinating, really, how a few weeks ago, Trump told Walmart not to pass tariff induced price increases onto their customers. Well, that's a form of price control that we're seeing today to our point, when we had the father of Reaganomics, David Stockman here on the show, five weeks ago, tariffs are already government intervention into the free market, and then a president telling private companies how to set their prices, that is really strong government overreach. I mean, I can't believe that more people aren't talking about this. Maybe that's just because this cycle started with Walmart, and that's just doesn't happen to be a company that people feel sorry for. Hey, well, I look forward to meeting you in person in Miami in just four days, as I'll be a faculty member for when we kick off the terrific real estate guys Investor Summit and see and really getting to know you, because we're going to spend nine days together.

June 14, 2025: Discord in Margaritaville, Trade Tensions, and the Dollar DebateWe're back this week with a mix of headlines and hard truths—from estate drama to economic indicators that could shake the markets.We kick things off with a real-world look at just how messy estate planning can get—even when it's done in advance. Jimmy Buffett's widow is suing to remove a co-trustee from the $275 million marital trust, claiming withheld financials and questionable income projections. It's a high-profile reminder of why clear communication and trustee responsibilities matter.Next, we turn to the global stage with U.S. and Chinese negotiators meeting in London and May's CPI report due, markets are bracing for impact. Could tariffs be quietly driving inflation—and how might that shape Fed policy going forward?With excessive tariffs on Chinese goods, we examine how trade policy is affecting Temu and Shein, with stocks slumping and sales dipping. Are consumers pulling back, or are they simply shifting where—and how—they spend?Finally, we separate fact from fear when it comes to recent headlines. Is the U.S. dollar really in decline? What would that mean for multinational earnings, global portfolios, and the proposed BRICS currency?From estate planning to economic strategy, it's a packed episode you won't want to miss.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

During the early morning hours of June 13, 2025, Israel conducted a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile installations, and Iran's military and nuclear science leadership. Israel initiated this action based on intelligence it had acquired which revealed Iran is very close to closing the loop for obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Housing affordability and lagging productivity in Canada. The economic rise of China and the global south. The surge of the tech economy in the U.S. According to our panel, the beginnings of all of these can be traced back to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. There's an argument to be made that the world is still living in the shadow of that bank-led global financial meltdown. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Global Power Shift has begun – The East Has a plan has UK lost the plot? As the West fumbles with political chaos, rising debt, and short-term thinking, the East powers ahead with vision and purpose. Countries like China, Malaysia, and the UAE are investing in infrastructure, education, and long-term strategy—while the UK seems stuck in a loop of tax hikes, red tape, and broken systems.  In this episode, I explore how global power is shifting fast—and why investors, entrepreneurs, and even families are looking East for opportunities, stability, and growth. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world? Has Britain lost the plot? Let's find out. Watch full video at Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast - https://youtu.be/_5jK8oHuj8o China's multi-billion dollar ‘Belt and Road Initiative' project is linking three quarters of the world's countries - 150 nations through Road and Maritime former silk routes.  Linking countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and more.  They are building it, not talking about it for 30 years like we do in the UK. Successive governments have been debating expanding London's Heathrow Airport by one runway since the Beatles were together.  Take That and Taylor Swift were not even born!  Rail links across Laos and Cambodia to China allow farmers to deliver produce to the vast Chinese market in 6 days. Trade has exploded in SE Asia from car manufacturing, industry to education and agriculture. What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world?  Check out my SMART MONEY COURSE - https://bit.ly/4klq0mv  As China expands its influence, where do you think countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East will look to for its future? America or China?  Who do they see as their friend when China is building trading links while America is ‘weaponizing' the dollar and telling them what to do? Why are more countries applying to join BRICS? Chinese overtook the US as Africa's largest trading partner in 2009. The West (Europe and America) has been asleep at the wheel for decades.  UK previously had strong links with African nations, (many of whom were given Independence after the Second World War as the empire declined), through the commonwealth. But with all due respect to the Royal Family, wheeling out the Queen to wave at the crowds every few years is not enough.  China is running rings around the west.  Unlike western democracies who can only plan as far as the next election, China has a long term vision and strategy.  Look what's happening in the Middle East in countries like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi which are all embarking on massive multibillion-dollar projects to reinvest their oil wealth for their future. They also attracting the brightest and the best entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and IT people, while the UK is taxing them out of existence.  New World Order?  What do you think? China and many other Southeast Asian countries have a plan. The Middle East has a plan. What is the UK's plan? Tax and spend our money! Tax and spend our savings! Tax and spend our pensions! (Rachel Reeves is doing a Gordon Brown tax raid on pensions.  He bankrupted Britain). Tax business and landlords Tax jobs and employment Tax motorists Tax parents who send their children to private schools! The government is coming after YOUR money! They have already borrowed billions and can't afford to fund their fantasy schemes.  Where is the big thinking and long term vision? Where is the growth, green energy? Really? While they lurch from one crisis to the next, smart people, educated professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs are leaving the UK to go where they are appreciated. Have any of the top ministers ever run a large business? I wouldn't trust them with a market stall? What can you do? As Warren Buffett said, financial education is the key to building wealth. It's the stuff they don't teach you in school.  Learn how to build and protect wealth. Learn how to manage your money. Learn how to invest in assets rather than losing money by lending it to the banks.  Learn about the invisible taxes like inflation which is eating up your savings.  Learn about Gold and Silver, the only real money.

Everywhere you look, you can see the decline of Western hegemony, as the world is increasingly multipolar. Ben Norton analyzes the rise of China, development of Global South economies, and increasing unity in Asia. A symbol of this was the historic ASEAN-GCC-China Summit held in Malaysia, which supplements BRICS in pursuit of dedollarization, South-South economic integration, and infrastructure construction.

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas y Nicole Rodríguez analizaron la crisis diplomática entre Chile e Israel tras la intención del presidente Boric de cortar relaciones, lo que generó tensiones con Estados Unidos y fue interceptado por una llamada de Marco Rubio. Discutieron el acercamiento del gobierno chileno a China y los BRICS, así como las consecuencias geopolíticas de estas decisiones. También abordaron la problemática del abuso de licencias médicas en el aparato público y la necesidad de una revolución moral para enfrentar la corrupción estructural. Se criticó el actuar de la ministra de Defensa frente al conflicto Israel-Gaza, el rol ideologizado de la administración pública y el abandono de principios por parte de la Democracia Cristiana en pos de sobrevivencia política. Finalmente, evaluaron el tono de la campaña de Evelyn Matthei, contrastándolo con la estrategia más sobria de José Antonio Kast.

Tom welcomes back Greg Weldon, a seasoned financial market veteran and publisher of The Global Macro Strategy Report . They discuss the critical themes shaping the global economy in 2025. Highlighting Scott Bessent's remarks, Weldon explains that the U.S. government will never default on its debt, and instead will perpetually devalue the currency to service its obligations. He warns that the country has however crossed a "macro event horizon," where it is trapped in a gravitational pull of debt that grows unsustainably relative to GDP. Weldon points to $54 trillion in combined public and household debt—186% of GDP—as evidence of this precarious situation. With foreign buyers losing appetite for U.S. assets, the Fed may become the last resort buyer of Treasuries, perpetuating the cycle of money printing. He notes that foreign ownership of U.S. bonds remains low, leaving domestic institutions to absorb much of the burden. The conversation delves into inflation and its drivers. Weldon argues that while energy prices remain subdued due to base effects, food inflation and service sector pressures pose significant risks. He also questions whether higher inflation expectations can be anchored, given the Fed's challenges in balancing monetary policy with economic growth. Weldon predicts that the Fed will increasingly prioritize preventing debt deflation over controlling inflation, leading to further dollar depreciation. Weldon expresses skepticism about a gold-backed dollar or bond solution, noting that U.S. gold reserves are insufficient to cover deficits meaningfully. Instead, he highlights gold and silver as potential beneficiaries of currency debasement, with silver poised for a breakout after years of underperformance. He also touches on global trends, such as Europe's rise as a safer haven and the BRICS nations' growing interest in dollar system alternatives. Ultimately, Weldon paints a picture of a world teetering on debt-driven instability, where central banks are forced to choose between reflating economies or facing collapse.

Today's show is dedicated to discussing the state of the US empire today. Contrary to some on the left, it is not about to collapse. But it is in a state of intensifying decline. Today's show reviews these two themes and considers the evidence for collapse vs. decline. A brief history how empires extract wealth from their dependencies (plunder, occupation, colonialism, unequal trade, financial imperialism, etc.) is discussed. A review of US institutions of Empire and how the US practices imperial dominance follows. Examples of institutional decline and failing practices are discussed: the US $, SWIFT payments system, IMF, World Bank, fiscal crisis of US empire and economy (deficits, debt, global dollar recycling, etc), contradictions in US monetary policies (why low interest rates don't stimulate growth and high rates don't dampen inflation), decline of US soft power, rise of the BRICS and global South, and chronic slow growth of US economy since 2008 as well as US political, social and ideological indicators of decline. (Discussion is based on Dr. Rasmus's forthcoming new book, 'Twilight of American Imperialism', the introductory chapter of which will be posted on his blog, http://jackrasmus.com on June 1, 2025)
