Podcasts about Financial system

The risks building in the US financial system may not come from a single dramatic policy decision, but from the quiet accumulation of individually defensible changes that together encourage excessive risk-taking.That was the warning from Stanford University economist Ross Levine, who said a series of regulatory and supervisory changes in the US are expanding explicit and implicit government backstops while weakening the mechanisms designed to constrain risk-taking.In this live recording from the Fiduciary Investors Symposium, hosted by Top1000funds.com at Stanford University in September 2026, Levine examines the “quiet accumulation” of risk across the US financial system and what it could mean for institutional investors.

Jeremy Allaire joins us from the Arc mainnet launch event in NYC this week to discuss the explosive growth ahead of agentic finance.Mobile existed for fifteen years before iOS and Android made it actually work. Jeremy Allaire thinks blockchains just hit the same moment. On Arc's launch day, he lays out why Circle built a network operating system rather than another chain, and how the agentic economy requires two systems working together: intelligence layers for the thinking, economic layers for the trust and execution. DTCC has already copied to Arc, along with tokenized equity issuers, bond and credit issuers, and more than a dozen foreign currency stablecoins. He closes on why flat stablecoin supply during a bear market is a healthy signal, not a worrying one.Jeremy Allaire is the CEO of Circle, the issuer of USDC and the company behind the Arc network.The Rollup is where the leaders of digital assets and finance converge.

Grant Williams says gold has just beaten its inflation-adjusted 1980 peak for the first time in 45 years, and that is the sound of the "howling wolf" returning to the financial system. Why he tells investors to forget the price and simply own it. Grant Williams joins Maggie Lake to revisit his gold-as-apex-predator thesis eight years on, using the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone as a metaphor for gold returning to a monetary system that has grazed itself bare since 1971. He explains why central bank behavior changed after 2022, why the old crisis reaction of buying dollars and treasuries is breaking down, and why he treats gold as protection for your purchasing power rather than a price to trade. What Williams covers: -The Yellowstone wolves, the trophic cascade, and gold as the financial system's apex predator -Why central banks doubled their gold buying and began repatriating it after 2022 -How the old crisis playbook of buying dollars and treasuries is breaking down -Why judging gold by a 20% move misses the point -Weimar, and the difference between price and purchasing power -Own versus buy, and where bullion ends and gold miners begin CHAPTERS  0:00 The Yellowstone wolves and the trophic cascade  1:13 Gold as the apex predator, removed since 1971  3:23 Gold as the howling wolf: a warning to change behavior  5:16 How central bank behavior changed after 2022  8:22 Did we miss the peak in gold?  8:53 Why the 20% bear-market rule misses the point  12:07 Debasement and the case for owning gold  13:55 Own versus buy, and bullion versus gold miners Grant Williams' core message is that protecting your purchasing power is a decision to own, not a trade to time. Making that decision inside a real portfolio, sizing gold and real assets against everything else you hold, is the practical next step, and it is what Wealthion membership is built for. It opens three doors: access to advisors who can help build real assets into your portfolio, and, for accredited investors, access to specialized funds.

Top gold miners are earning margins above $3,000 an ounce, yet Jonathan Wellum says their stocks are still priced as if gold were far lower. Why he sees a rare gap between commodity cash flow and mining stock prices. Jonathan Wellum, CEO and CIO of RockLinc, joins Maggie Lake to explain why commodities and mining may be one of the most overlooked opportunities in the market. He connects Trump's push to revive US mining, deglobalization, and Western dependence on China for critical minerals to a simple imbalance: the world is demanding more copper, silver, uranium and gold than it produces, while capital keeps flooding into AI. He also lays out why mining equities lag their own cash flow, how he separates precious metals from critical minerals, and where he is cautious on the AI build-out. What Wellum covers: - What Trump's mining roundtable and the reshoring push mean for critical minerals - Why mining stocks lag despite record free cash flow and expanding margins - The debasement trade, record central bank gold buying, and a debt-driven case for hard assets - Precious metals versus critical and industrial minerals, and how RockLinc chooses among copper, uranium, silver, gold and potash - Charlie Munger's circle of competence, and why an ETF can beat picking junior miners - Reshoring beyond the miners, and why he is cautious on the AI CapEx story

God is Still Warning of Earthquakes (1)  (audio) David Eells, 8/16/26  Saints, I want to share with you prophetic warnings we've been receiving from the Lord about the coming earthquakes. The following is what I believe.  Important: Some high magnitude earthquakes have been prayed down to a lower magnitude and it could be done so at any time. According to prophecies a large Japan quake will precede the large US earthquakes. Japan just had a 7.1 but this may not be the sign. They could have a larger magnitude earthquake, God forbid, – then 10 days of communication darkness for people in the U.S. to move to safety. The West Coast could experience a 9-something magnitude earthquake.  Then, New Madrid shortly after could have a 9-something magnitude quake. There will be smaller quakes in the Eastern US. For many years now, we have spoken about the earthquakes that precede the Man-child ministry and anointing. We encourage everyone to be spiritually prepared in faith and sanctification, and to be seeking the Lord for direction if He would have you move and where to go, provisions, etc. I want to go over some of these revelations with you today. We know we are getting close to these things coming to pass. Julie asked the Lord what the people needed to hear and pray about, and she heard “seven,” so she searched that under the dreams/visions page and the only one with seven in the title was Eve's revelation below.   Seven Earthquakes / New Madrid / Man-child Eve Brast - 04/23/2012 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was high above Earth, sitting on the clouds and to the right of Tom Welling, the actor who plays Superman in the Smallville TV series. (This was odd to me because I don't ever dream of superheroes, but I understood the parable of Superman being Jesus in the Man-child with the latter rain anointing and supernatural abilities.) He was pointing and showing me places where earthquakes were to take place around the globe and telling me about them. But the strange thing is, the Earth was wrapped in a golden yellow tarp that was made of the same material as the yellow raincoat that my son Josiah wears. (It used to belong to my dad and is way too big for him, but he loves to wear it when it rains.)(This is a sign that we will need more than people think to protect from the storms coming? Primarily pray to God in faith.) On top of the raincoat tarp was the red outline of all the continents of the Earth, and each place where there was going to be an earthquake had an outline of a star in red. I only remember two places: one was around the Great Lakes (New Madrid) area in the U.S.  (The Great Lakes / New Madrid quake could be the one that destroys the economy and brings the anointing of the Man-child reformers.) (I remembered this one well because when I saw it in the dream, I thought about the American Earthquake Brings Revival dream of 3/14/12. (I share this dream below) The other was in South America. There were seven stars (earthquakes) altogether that He pointed out to me. This reminds me of the seven booms that I heard after waking up from the Forgiving the Repentant dream of 4/02/12. (I'll share the seven booms portion of that dream below.) I could not remember exactly how many stars were in the dream, but I was pretty sure there were seven, so I asked the Father to give me a verse with “7” in it and my finger was on: (Psa.119:79) Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. I asked the Father for a confirmation verse, and my finger was on: (Jer.22:7) I will prepare destroyers against you, Everyone with his weapons: They shall cut down your choice cedars and cast them into the fire. Were the seven earthquakes around the globe on 4/11/12 a sign of something larger to come?   American Earthquake Brings Revival Eve Brast - 03/14/2009 (Deborah Horton's notes in green) | (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was a teacher over a group of elementary school students and also a commander over a platoon of 30 soldiers at the same time. (Eve is a type of the Bride of the last Adam, Jesus, since Eve was the name of the first Adam's bride since history repeats. The Bride, Jerusalem, here has rule over the body of 30 soldiers.) As a teacher with my students, I resided in the heavenlies, which was indicated by the floor being transparent and having clouds around it. I could see the U.S. underneath my classroom. God's hand appeared to my right and caught my attention. (Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin?) (This saying was written by God's hand and finger and it meant the Babylonish kingdom in the US will be judged and divided and will come to an end, as the deep state is now. Dan 5:25-28 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end; 27 TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. (A type of Cyrus-Trump's kingdom conquering Babylon. Daniel, at that time, was a type of the Man-child who interpreted this judgment.) God's hand pointed down at the U.S./Canadian border. The hand and I descended toward the Great Lakes area. God's finger started pointing down to the ground near Michigan and then followed the U.S./Canadian border over to around Minnesota. Then He brought me in for a closer look and showed me a fissure that had begun in the earth. As He traced the crack with His finger, there was a huge earthquake. I heard the screams of many people falling into the rift that was opened in the earth. (A warning to question God if you are to leave the area?) (There have also been a lot of booms and small quakes in Michigan and Wisconsin around the Great Lakes area. (These can identify for you where the fault lines are for future use.) I was awakened to seven booms in real life. It definitely was not thunder. There was no rain, and the sky was not cloudy when I got up to type up this dream. The first boom rattled my window, woke me up, and made my heart jump. The first three booms seemed to be above-ground somehow, but the last four rumblings were from below the ground because I heard them through my pillow. [The booms in Forgiving the Repentant dream may have been earthquake activity. In another dream, the Statue of Liberty Falls to Its Knees at the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the “ground shook mightily.”]) Back to Eve's dream: I was then on the ground near the beginning of the fault line in Michigan with my students, but they were now soldiers. (A sign the students will have grown up when this quake happens and soldiers are needed after a large quake.) We marched down into the canyon that had been created by the fault line, and when we reached the end of the canyon, I saw the corner of a golden step pyramid, like those found in the Americas, sticking out of the dirt. God's hand came down and uncovered four golden structures from under the dirt. God's voice said, “This is Egypt”. (This reminds me of the parable of the servant who buried his talent in the earth, instead of using it to further God's Kingdom. America has been doing the same thing with all the gifts that she has been given.) (This shows that the root cause of the quake is that America is an Egypt and God's people are called forth out of her spiritually, even as He divides her with earthquakes and wars.) One structure was the four-cornered step pyramid with no capstone. (The Great Pyramid with the capstone missing is not Egyptian; it had no Egyptian hieroglyphics or art, as the others. The historian Josephus said that Enoch and his sons built it before the flood. A capstone on a pyramid is a “chief cornerstone”, Who is Jesus, and is missing and in Heaven. The Egyptian pyramids are inferior copies of it. The original Chaldean word for “pyramid” is “urimidden”, meaning “revelation measurements”. The Great Pyramid is mentioned in the Bible as an altar to the Lord, so it is prophetically Christian, not Egyptian. (Isa.19:19) In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah. [The Great Pyramid fulfills this because it is on the “border” of upper and lower Egypt and in the midst of the country of Egypt.] (20) And it shall be for a sign [revelation measurements] and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he [Jesus] will deliver them.) Within the Great Pyramid was a standard of measurement called the pyramid inch. With this, you could measure an outline of the history of man from beginning to end. A shaft went from the upper side of the pyramid to a pit, representing hell, beneath it. It is measured in length to represent the history of man in years. That history line was intersected by a passage that went to a room in the heart of the pyramid that was the exact size as the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of God, Jesus, would have resided. This represented the coming of Jesus to intersect that history line at the exact point in time when He came to save man's fall to the pit of Hell. So, God gave us this amazing witness in His Word. Also, the Great Pyramid originally had 144,000 polished limestones covering it before they were plundered. This represents the Man-child company mentioned twice in Rev.14:1-4. Back to Eve: One structure was a golden graven image of a queen of Egypt. (This reminds one of the Babylonish harlot ruling over God's people) One structure seemed to be a rectangular palace with large, tall pillars surrounding it. I can't recall what the fourth structure was, even though I asked the Father to reveal it to me. God's finger made the sign of the cross over the four-cornered step pyramid, and its corners slid open in the directions that the finger moved. Inside the pyramid was a solid gold throne which had no back to it. God pointed with emphasis to that throne. (Like the Great Pyramid, the heart of the Church is God's Holy of Holies, where His Ark and throne are. The mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant was “a solid gold throne which had no back”. The one on that throne should be God Himself, not the queen or harlot of Egypt. Egypt usurped the throne of the Great Pyramid as its own. So she did with Israel, God's real building. In Isaiah 14:4,12,13, the king of Babylon, inhabited by Lucifer, said, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God”, which God said is Abraham's seed. So, America, as a modern-day Egypt/Babylon, has and will usurp authority over the Church, which will be resurrected from its death and burial in the dirt of America. This speaks of a great revival because of this earthquake judgment on America. Then I was taken back up over the U.S. into the heavenlies where I was at the beginning. As I returned to my place, I asked God, “What about my mother?” (Being concerned for my earthly mother.) And I heard my earthly father's voice from behind me say, “It's too late for her”, and then I woke up. (In this case, the Bride's mother is America, just what Jeremiah 50:8 says of Babylon: “It's too late for her.” (Jer.50:10) And Chaldea [Babylon/America] shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah. (11) Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage [They did and will persecute and kill God's people], because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out [the grain] [persecution to bring forth the fruit in God's people], and neigh as strong horses; (12) your mother (there she is) shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. An earthquake tearing in the flesh of America will reveal the Great Pyramid symbol of the Church being born out of the travail of persecution.) When I asked for a verse for this dream and flipped my Bible open, my finger came down on verses 2-4 of Obadiah, but the Bible I have has an introduction to each book, so my finger came down on the sentence within the introduction, “God will bring her down”, verses 2-4. (Oba.2) Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. (A sign of God bringing down from her thone the U.S. and destroying its economy through which it rules.) (3) The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (4) Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. Deb Horton: I asked for a word and my finger came down on: (Psa.21:10) Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. Eve: Also, several months later, when I was reading Isaiah 19, the Lord told me that this chapter was in reference to this dream. (This chapter is about God's judgment on Egypt and the Great Pyramid altar. Part of that judgment is civil war, just as the judgment on Babylon was division -- Daniel 5:25-28. (Isa.19:2) And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians (even now the U.S. is polarized by the left and right): and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom. (3) And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. (4) And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord (Satan); and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts. We have many dreams that speak of Civil War in America as a tribulation judgment. In the Word, when the Beast came against God's people, God always divided them to save His people.) Here's a portion of Eve's dream about the seven booms: ….Then I was awakened (at 4:00 am) by a loud, crashing boom outside our mobile home that shook the window, followed by two more lesser, crashing booms, followed by four more (seven booms). After the booms stopped, I realized that a song was being sung in my mind. The lyrics were, “I can walk on water. I can fly. I will keep on fighting till I die.” (representing dying to self) (Since the Bride was hearing the Man-child's voice in her mind, could this be the Man-child ministry, who will also do these wonderful things, coming after the time of the booming sounds, representing earthquakes?) This is a song that was playing on a HALO Lego video that my son Elijah and his friend (whose name is Rebel, believe it or not) were listening to last week on the computer. HALO is a Navy SEAL acronym for High Altitude Low Opening. It describes a certain airborne jump they perform. (It is the safest method for parachuting into enemy territory while under fire. It is to free-fall as close to Earth as possible before opening the chute. This maximizes the chance of evading the gunfire. The Man-child will be coming to Earth very fast and will be under enemy fire from many enemies, including the DS and factious leaders, just as in Javier's dream where he saw three snipers shooting at David from the darkness of a tank, but they could not hit him.) I'm not sure how it fits with the dream, other than the lyrics seem to describe Jesus in the Man-Child. But the song seems to be a rebellious mantra against the establishment (of the apostate hierarchy). I asked the Father for a verse for the song, and my finger was on: (Lam.5:15) The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance has turned into mourning. (There will be repentance by the 70 saints who were forgiven in the Forgiving the Repentant dream.) I then asked the Father for two verses for the booms I heard that woke me up and got: (Eze.22:31) Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah. (Sowing unforgiveness, criticism and slander always destroys the one who does it.) (Mat.7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. And (Eze.33:26) Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination (The sword of the Word is necessary to separate the sinner from sin and leaven.), and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife (by selfish lusts of the flesh): and shall ye possess the (Promised) land? No!   Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions Rick Sergent - 07/14/2008 (David's notes in red) The Lord first spoke to me about a major Midwest earthquake in December of 2003. Then on 7/14/08, He gave some details about this up-and-coming quake. It will happen soon, I believe. It will register on the Richter Scale as a 9-something. I believe it will be on the New Madrid fault line, maybe around St. Louis, MO? I heard these words in my spirit: “It will be of epic proportions”. This earthquake will permanently change the mindset of the people of this nation. It will alter the terrain on a large scope. It will never be the same. People from different nations will come to the aid of the U.S. (some may for ill intentions). Personal Notes: When I heard a “9”, I wondered if there was ever a verified 9 quake in the world. I may be wrong, but I only found three earthquakes. One was a1960 9.5 quake in Chile. The other one was on December 26, 2004, the tsunami that killed about 230,000 people. The U.S. Geological Survey says it was a 9.1. Others outside of this country said it was a 9.3. The 1964 quake in Alaska was around a 9, maybe(?) I do not want to sound like a doomsayer, but this quake may cause more deaths than any quake in the history of the world. I did research afterwards, and the tsunami quake of 2004 was the second in terms of deaths. The first one happened in about 1560 in China. That one claimed over 800,000 deaths, they say. In 2003, I had a friend who saw sea creatures in the spirit in Terre Haute, Indiana. She did not know why. I do not know if this is the quake that has been mentioned in relation to Lake Michigan or not, but it would not surprise me if it was. I believe it will be felt in almost all the states. The midsection of the U.S. will be the worst. (Also, the West Coast quakes around this time are prophesied to be terrible.) The big harvest or revival will come alongside great sorrows. Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought Rick Sergent - 04/19/2012 (David's notes in red) On 4/19/12, I was not thinking about anything particular when I saw a vision of this woman on a horse. Her name is Mary. I know her. She is a mature Christian. Then I saw the word EARTHQUAKE in red letters. I have never seen those letters in red. I don't recall it; they have always been in black or an occasional other color. This word was right above her. I then saw these words: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. That made sense to me, why I saw Mary on a horse. (Also, Mary could be the woman Church who brings forth the Man-child, as it was with Jesus. Sandy and Audrey said she could also be the Church trusting in the strength of beastly flesh.) Then I saw the number 85. I did not know what this number meant. (Then, Deborah Horton sent us a dream that I David was restoring I-85 overpass or Passover. She didn't know about this dream.) After asking the Lord to explain to me about this 85, I received this revelation from Deborah Horton within two days and 85 is emphasized again. Here is a portion of it: There was a highway work crew repairing the overpass where I-85 goes over Highway 29. (The spiritual road crew represents those reformers who restore the paths to dwell in. (Isa.58:12) And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deborah: “Overpass” is a word play on “Passover”; if we want the Lord to pass over our sins, we must forgive everyone, but I was giving place to doubt and bitterness about a particular person when I had this dream. In real life, the place where I-85 passes over Highway 29 was chewed-up by heavy trucks going to and from the smelly, multi-state landfill. The landfill there is as large as a small mountain. Part of it was finally patched. So, we could say that the I-85 overpass/Passover has been kept in disrepair by trucks creating a mountain of garbage representing the magnitude of stinking thinking and ways of those who give in to factions and their false Jesus and apostate leadership. That would explain why, below, David was repairing the road. (Isa.58:12) ... The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deb later told me 85 is meaning 8 = New Beginning and 5 = grace. Highway 29 mostly parallels I-85, zigzagging back and forth across the path of I-85) From Rick's emails: In Deb Horton's dream, David was over a highway work crew, repairing the I-85. (Passover of Highway 29, which represents the earthquake, meaning God's people must be prepared through faith and God's works to escape these quakes.) In the natural, Highway 29 goes to the heart of Washington, DC, which speaks of the future quake. USGS says the epicenter of the 8/23/11, 5.8 quake was five miles S-SW of Mineral, VA, which is 84 miles to DC.. Wow, close enough! Number 29 may mean a second quake or judgment. (2 = second [and division] and 9 = judgment.) A portion of 29 between Greensboro, NC and Danville, VA will be upgraded to an interstate. They are naming the new interstate I-785. The point is that it is being made into a faster highway, meaning a quick time for the quake to hit D.C. without delay. Interstates do not have stoplights or stop signs and cross over multiple states. The earthquakes will be felt in multiple states. I did find it interesting that US Highway 29 dead-ends right where I-70 starts on the East Coast and moves west across the heart of the Midwest, all the way to the west to Utah, where it branches off with other interstates to Los Angeles on the West Coast. According to Wikipedia, the U.S. military wanted it that way to be able to travel from southern California to the northeastern United States (NYC). I am convinced of the spiritual revelation of the number 85 as a Passover and that these quakes are coming. But it is interesting that a Passover was being repaired on the I-85 interstate, going over Highway 29 and goes 84 or 85 miles from the epicenter of the last quake in VA to D.C., where the same 5.8 quake judged the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty by cracking them. Not a chance that is not a sign. We've had revelations that Government and Liberty will be changed by this. I am convinced that we must be entitled to the Passover of this judgment, which was paid for by Jesus, when it does come. Make sure your heart is right with God and your brethren by abiding in Jesus Christ.) In 2008, I gathered all the dreams on the New Madrid, splitting the country and compared what the timing looked like on each, and I came up with the theory that there were at least two big quakes in the New Madrid -- one at the beginning of the trib and one at the end when the nations come together to divide Israel for the last time. I shared this on the program at that time. In Brenda Schaunaman's dream on 10/12/08, I wrote: “This Midwest quake that divides the U.S. may happen twice, the last being the worst and dividing the country even more”. I do not doubt Rick may be right about a quake coming, but there was no year on the date part, which leaves open a very large quake at the end of the trib. I believe we will see a lesser but very damaging quake leading up to the tribulation when the Lord comes AS the latter rain on the Man-child body. Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. (1Co.4:5) Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. Back to Rick: A major quake of over 9 on the Richter Scale, as indicated in the prophecy Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions, would probably cause an economic crash, especially if coupled with the Western seaboard major quake, back-to-back, knocking out the electric grid for months. (It would cause much death and push over the edge all they have already done to resurrect the economy with the RV. It would also help to bring revival.) Rick: About less than a week before I had received this vision of the number 85, I was on the phone with a lady who was a customer. She brought up the subject of dreams and visions, not knowing I was her confirmer. She said that there were going to be two major quakes -- one on the East Coast (which was prayed down), the other one off the New Madrid (Which, because of that, will come just after the terrible West Coast quakes). She said the Lord showed her they would be one after another. I told her I agreed with her but thought the quakes would be days apart. I told her the last three quakes that the Lord has revealed to me are where quakes are not commonly known to happen. He first showed me the Washington quake months before it happened. Then He showed me the largest quake in Oklahoma's history, months before it happened. He also has shown me one in Nebraska, but that, of course, has not occurred yet. The lady then proceeded to tell me about a drought throughout the United States. She said states will be fighting over water rights with inland waterways and lakes. (As of July 2026, in the U.S., we are seeing approximately 38% drought; some areas are experiencing extreme drought from the East Coast and throughout the country towards the West. This fighting over water rights may also be because of the enormous amount of water needed for all the Data Centers they are building in several places in the States.) I told her in 2011, I saw a vision of a donkey walking with its head down from west to east on a map of the U.S. There was the word “famine” on the donkey, with sagebrush blowing around it. (The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party, which is failing.) Then, just last week (April of 2012), I received a call, and the person said one of the headlines in the Indianapolis Star read, Drought in all states except for Alaska and Ohio. I then proceeded to tell her I saw in a vision in 2011 of a radial arm saw making a cut just on the south edge of the Great Lakes. When it carved out the lakes, it went over to the Mississippi River and made a cut all the way down to the Gulf. Then I saw these words: “War over Water”. She seemed to be my confirmer, too. (There has been a water war with major rivers very low.) Note: Additional confirmations and revelation: 1) In March of 2011, I was given this vision from the Lord: I saw the word: Earthquake suspended over a map of the United States. Three golden rods came from the word Earthquake. One pointed to what I thought was just north of Washington, D.C., but it was difficult to determine because it was more like a geography map and was not showing cities. The second pointed to the Midwest and the third pointed to California. This seems to indicate the possibility of a series of quakes indicated in Sandy Shaw's dream, Series of Quakes Hits U.S., in a simpler form in my vision. (She mentioned these same places plus a lesser-known seismic zone in the TN Valley.) Sandy had hers in May of 2011. (These two revelations were true but when the East Coast large quake was prayed down the sequence of the other two large quakes changed. We believe now the West coast will precede the New Madrid.) 2) In Sandy's dream in the notes in red letters, David noted: “Their urgency may be to leave and get into new homes before the quakes because the New Madrid could affect her area in central Arkansas and at least IMPEDE HER TRAVEL”. (Rick: These are basically the same words in my vision I saw: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. And Mary on the horse/Man-child (4/19/12). David went on to say, “The Man-child will lead many into the wilderness prepared by this great destruction in the beginning of the tribulation”. Also a horse implies automobiles don't have gas or good roads like a wilderness. Update - 5/01/12 I received a major confirmation from my son, Jeremy. Jeremy texted me at 8:48 am on 5/01/12. I did not get hold of him on the phone until 7:16 pm the next day. First of all, Jeremy does not know anything about the vision of Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought. Jeremy lives in Shreveport, in northeastern Louisiana. I had only told my friend Mary (who lives in Indiana) and one friend at work (who lives in Ohio). Jeremy prayed before he went to bed, “Lord, give me dreams or visions”. He awoke that morning wide awake, and he opened the Bible, and it was at Isaiah 24. He said, “Dad, I started crying and could not stop; it was like prophetic weeping”. (I call him Jeremiah sometimes, ‘The Weeping Prophet'.) He said he read the whole chapter and wept all the way through it. He said what was impressed in his spirit was economic collapse and a very big earthquake. (So much for the golden age.) He said, “Dad, I feel it is right around the corner, right at the door!” He later turned on the TV and said words were spoken, like a play on words from the TV. He said on the news they talked about the euro in trouble and the dollar also. He had not turned on the news for months. He said God seems to be confirming to him the judgment on the United States and the world. He said it's like people know it, but they are ignoring it or pretending it will go away. When Jeremy said that, a scripture came to my mind. I knew it was in Ezekiel 7, and I looked it up, and it was verses 25-26: DESTRUCTION COMES; they will seek peace, but there shall be none. DISASTER upon DISASTER, and RUMOR will be upon RUMOR. In my Bible, the subtitle above Isaiah 24 is Impending Judgment on the Earth. This thought then came to me: Eve Brast's dream of seven earthquakes around the world. I then noticed the Bible notes for Isaiah 24:1-6: “Its not clear what form the devastation will take. The imagery suggests drought and possible earthquakes. Such judgments have happened throughout human history and will be climaxed during the time before Christ's return, often referred to as the great tribulation”. I went on to read Isaiah 24:13: “When it shall be thus IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND among the people, it shall be like the SHAKING OF THE OLIVE TREE”. Verse 19: “The EARTH IS VIOLENTLY BROKEN. The EARTH IS SPLIT OPEN. THE EARTH IS SHAKEN EXCEEDINGLY”. Verse 20: “The EARTH SHALL REEL TO AND FRO LIKE A DRUNKARD, and shall totter like a hut. Its transgression shall be heavy upon it”. Let me share this transcript of a prophetic warning the Lord gave to Brandon Biggs, prior to the 7.4 Colombia earthquake that recently occurred on Monday, August 10, 2026.   The Lord Showed Us: It Was Coming A Shaking in Colombia link Brandon Biggs, 6/24/26  …. They felt that all over the place there would be Big earthquakes. What is this happening with the earth? The earth is shaking and rocking and reeling like a drunkard. The Lord said it was coming. The Word said it was coming. And so we're seeing the beginnings of it, the birthing pains. (It is the sign of the birthing of the Man-child ministry too) What are we about to see? Major shaking. Why? Because I told you Colombia will be shaken. Venezuela will be shaken. Cuba will be shaken, as we saw earthquakes; Cuba will be shaken. Why? Because it's a representation of what's happening in the spiritual realm. It is manifesting in the natural, and a great harvest of souls is coming to Venezuela and Cuba and Colombia. Watch, and it's going to spread through Brazil. Watch what happens. God is going to pour out His Spirit in South America. Watch.  Here's another clip Brandon posted on 8/10/26 about a recent volcano in Japan. So there is a volcano going off in Japan, like the Lord was telling us… I saw a lot of people go home because of this eruption. The Lord said, “Watch Japan; Japan's gonna split.” and I saw a major shaking hit Japan, and that's what we were seeing last night (livestream prayer meeting). I'm gonna shake…  He said, “California will have an earthquake that has not been seen in this generation.” A massive earthquake is about to happen in California.  …August 8th, an exploding fireball appeared, captured in Eastern Japan. Here is a Link to this article:  A two-kilometer column of smoke rose after another eruption of the Sakurajima volcano in Japan. The volcano began to become active on July 7. On the same night, surveillance cameras also recorded the glow. On August 8, ash was released from the Minamidake crater to a height of more than two thousand meters. The Japan Meteorological Agency predicts continued activity as magma accumulates deep underground. Near the craters of Nandake and Seva, there is a danger of falling large rocks. According to the researchers, this is the eighteenth eruption on Sakurajima this year. In the footage, the sky is filled with a black cloud of smoke, and local residents are hiding from the effects of the eruption. Brandon: The Lord says, “You will see fearful sights that will bring you to your knees.” And I say, watch the signs in the heavens. It will shake the signs in the heavens. Let me read this transcript of Brandon Biggs' revelation.    “The Lord Showed Me a Major Earthquake Along the San Andreas Fault Line” link  Brandon Biggs, 8/10/26 (David's notes in red) What did the Lord show us about the San Andreas? A week ago, the Lord told us to pray over the San Andreas. I said, “You're about to see a major shaking, and the water will boil. The water will come up out of the ground hotter than it's ever come out of the ground.” And I said, “You're going to see California have the ‘Big One'.”  And today, August 3, 2026, California's top earthquake expert issued a chilling new warning on the ‘Big One'. It could be tomorrow. He shows a clip from a news report:  “Scientists agree we are due for a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. They just don't know when. But as Maribel Gonzalez reports, a new study suggests it may be coming sooner rather than later.  This simulation depicts Southern California's worst-case earthquake, a massive magnitude 7.8 rupture along the San Andreas Fault. [It could last] nearly 2 minutes of shaking. Experts say hundreds could die, along with billions of dollars in damage. This simulated earthquake rivals the powerful quake that struck Venezuela in June, highlighting their devastating impact.”  “It could go another 100 years. It could be tomorrow. It could be, you know, next minute.” said Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist at Caltech.  “But a new study warns the risk of a significant earthquake in California could be greater than previously believed, with even more widespread damage.”  “What we've found now is that, you know... stresses are naturally high, and they're actually in some places, the highest that we've seen in all of these 1,000 years,” said Liliane Burkhard, a geophysicist at the University of Bern. (You can see this interview here) Back to Brandon: And this is what I saw back four days ago. I saw a major earthquake, major hot geysers boiling even more. Water coming up out of Yellowstone. And I saw a shaking in California. A major shaking is coming to California. And the Lord said these earthquakes that will take place will be symbolic, that I'm about to have a major, major move of My presence upon San Francisco.  And I saw men without their shirts on, weeping before the Lord. (And the Lord was referring to homosexuality.) And He said, “Watch what I'm about to do.” In San Francisco, I saw perversion, weeping before the Lord. And I saw Portland; I saw Seattle; I saw British Columbia. I saw a major move of God coming to California in the days ahead. And a shaking of the earth, major shakings, earthquakes, and [destruction of] bridges and things like that.   We Are In Magnitude 7 Territory - Get A Tent Alison Pound, 08/10/26 There are going to be more earthquakes. A lot more. Larger magnitude. Like you just saw in Colombia, South America. Magnitude 7 and above are going to become a thing. China is going to have 3 x magnitude 7's - Not 6.9 but 7 and over. I am raising the mag. levels across the earth. Europe will have some mag 7's. Italy in particular. I will be destroying whole cities. Yes, you heard Me, whole cities. Various parts of the earth, across the nations. I have already told you Iceland will have some big quakes. Some of these (mag. 7's) will come before the California “Big One” that will be off the Richter Scale. And some will come after. This is how it will be from now until the end. The Ring of Fire will be lit up on your map. Remember I told you many years ago: look at the map, watch. (I regularly check the earthquake maps because God told me to ‘watch') I Am coming down to shake the whole earth one more time, one more season…… the final season. Everything that can be shaken shall be shaken. There will be landslides, large rock falls in mountainous regions. The landscape will be much altered in some areas. This is to be expected. Tell My people…. Camping gear! Tell them to keep camping equipment handy because some of them are going to need it. They will be living in tents. Many homes will not be safe to live in after earthquakes. Tell them if they do not buy camping equipment, tents especially, now, they will not be able to buy them later. (companies selling tents will be sold out) I told you it is TIME. I Am speaking about all that is happening and all that will happen from now on. It is time for all end time events to come to pass. You have been waiting. You will no longer be waiting to see these terrible events. Haggai 2:6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.” Hebrews 12:25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.   Prophecy and the Destruction of California  Alison Pound, 08/07/26  Today, I went to the Lord to ask Him if He would allow me to write and publish on the subject of prophecy. What it is and what it is not. Whilst He agreed that many do not understand prophecy or even know what it is, the Lord did not want me writing about it. Instead, I was instructed to re-publish a warning for California. You will find that further down the page. The following is all of His reply:  People are going to be triggered. (He means that's a given) They won't like what I say. They won't receive what I say. What they do is go back to what they were taught. And they were taught by people who themselves don't know what prophecy is. They were taught it must be nice, kind, loving words, encouraging, positive, up-building. I have not the time to teach a people who will not listen to what prophecy is. You will keep on with posting what I will say to them until I stop speaking. They are not going to like anything I say. (He means you won't like what He says this time either) This is judgment hour, most especially for America and the American churches. It will be swift. The sentence will be swiftly carried out. It will be sudden. I will come upon them as I did with Sodom and Gomorrah. The people and place I Am talking about here have been given the warnings. There is time for just a few more. My prophets will speak one more time. And then the sentencing will be carried out. All I have said that I would do to California and surrounding states will be done. Japan will not get any more warnings. None. They will be hit first. Then California will have a short duration- hours only- before they are hit. I want you to know that I will have mercy, great mercy on some Christians on that terrible day. Because they will be out of the state, not in California. So these ones will survive to tell the story. They will, some of them, have sudden urgent business that takes them out of California. Some actual pastors, leaders of churches, will be away preaching, as will some others in the congregation. This (the aftermath) will be a terrible time for them, as they will be aware that they were spared. This is why I will spare them: It is so that they look at themselves afresh and at the State they so loved and are convicted. Repentance will flow in these ones. This is what I desire. This is what I prefer. I prefer repentance to destruction. It does not please Me to bring down these harsh judgments. But I Am a righteous judge and I will act righteously. All praise and glory to the Lord God Almighty, who is both merciful and just! The following Word from the Lord was first published on 1st January 2026, 7 months and 7 days ago. Reposting it here, as directed by the Lord.   TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA I Am about to visit Japan. And then California also. Everything I told you I would do, I will do to them. I Am about to do it. I told you. My true prophets will know because I will tell them. Just before I do it, I will tell them. I will say to them, it is time. I will tell them to brace for impact. Because you, and they, will feel the impact of what I Am going to do. The shaking and the destruction of the earth and the people in those places will be immense. Shocking. It will be all that the survivors around the earth can talk about for a long time. That is, when they start talking. Because when this happens, at first, they will not talk. The shock will hit them. Some will then shake their fists in the air and will no longer follow Me. These ones did not know Me at all well before. But others will turn to Me in a big way. Prepare for this. Many will want to talk about Me suddenly. They will have questions. They will want to get right with Me. And My hand of mercy will be outstretched to these. Be ready to speak. Donald Trump is going. He will go shortly after California goes. And California is about to go. The seabed is in turmoil. Out of California, the underwater volcanoes are coming to life. Angels have been sent to command them to erupt. Angels are My messengers. They put My judgments into action. Remember the scrolls and the decrees? (The Book of Revelation, see below) Keep watching and waiting. When you see that Japan has had a magnitude 8 earthquake, a tsunami will follow. Then you will know California is next. The shaking will shift tectonic plates. I will shake the earth like a cottage. I have not told you this before, but this earthquake, the one that takes out California, will be felt further away than any earthquake before it. Other volcanoes in the vicinity will also erupt. Remember, I told you to keep an eye on the ring of fire? This is the time. This is the time when shipping will be interrupted and new paths will be found for the ships in order to bypass the volcanic activity. [In 2012 the Lord spoke about this, but I just did not understand at the time. He said: Way below the earth's crust, there will be a disturbance far greater than any before. Out upon the waters of the Pacific, there is going to be a disturbance that comes from far below. Shipping will be lost at this time. There will become an area that must now be avoided.] The Earth will never be the same again after this. Many, many sea creatures will die and will be washing up on far shores. This will go on for months. Dear one, this will be a terrible time for the people of the earth. Very trying. But incredibly, the wicked will continue to be wicked. It will be like they think time is short and they must get a whole lot more wickedness in before they go. Their hearts will harden, if that were at all possible. And although I Am in judgment mode and I Am very angry, I will be very controlled and perfect in all My judgments. You will have access to Me at all times. I will not be like the angry father here on earth who does not want to talk to anyone when he is in his angry mode. I do not want you to keep away from Me. But draw near and remain. This is the only way. Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Please note: I now believe there may be 2  mag. 8 earthquakes in Japan, happening close together. The Lord will speak to me on a subject over a period of time, adding detail to what He first said. If I don't catch everything, He will repeat what He said at a later time. Reading through my journal, I found that He had said Japan would have 2x mag. 8 quakes, adding that a mag. 12 would also happen there but at a later time. I saw Mount Fuji erupt in a dream some years ago. That may also happen at the same time as the 2 mag. 8 quakes. There has been increased activity in the ‘Ring of Fire' and the fault lines in America. That may continue for a while, or it may not. Psalm 91 says, “Whoever DWELLS in the shelter of the Most High….”  We dwell (live, remain) in the shelter of the Most High by casting off the things of this world and its sinful practices. By being in intimacy with Him and remaining so, humble and obedient, walking in His Ways. The peace of God which passes all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.   A Catastrophic Earthquake Is Coming, Get Out Now!  Karen Newsberry, 8/6/25 On the morning of July 29, 2025, at 8:16 am I heard the Lord speak; as I listened to His voice, I cried. I beg anyone who lives in California to please get out! Get out now! “Repentance falls on deaf ears; a nation once put under protection, MY protection, such divine and illustrated protection. The world is my footstool; have I not spoken of the many judgments coming to this world? For out of prophets and babes, even the children have spoken what I have shown them.  Destruction comes to a state far beyond the land where the depths of water abound.  California, I have called for your repentance and have heard few repent. Those that are in Me, I have heard. Sin abounds in your land; for the stench, I cannot bear. Sin is as a primary language for such a nation; California, your mountains will move out of their place, your waters will shake to and fro…your judgment is now! Your nation will look with fear in their eyes at what is coming. I have been mocked and scoffed at long enough by a stiff-necked people. America, this is just the beginning of what is coming. Trump will continue to do what he has been assigned to do, but his time is almost up, for division was his goal.” Please, a catastrophic earthquake is coming; leave! I've seen in a dream of the destruction; please heed the Lord's warning! Here is a portion of a video transcript from Brandon Biggs in December 2025, called:   A Major 8.4 Earthquake on the New Madrid Brandon Biggs, 12/14/2025  …. There will be great, great shakings in the nation. Great earthquakes! Great earthquakes. Great earthquakes. I see on the New Madrid... I see a great earthquake. And it will go, and it will shake, shake, shake. And it will be a sign. It will be a sign on the New Madrid. A sign's coming. A major sign. I see it all on this side. …. I see Missouri. I see Kentucky. I see Tennessee…. I see “8.4.” That's what I see. 8.4.  There will be a shaking in the Heartland. A revival is coming. I see drought; I see rain. He said this is weather manipulation and weather warfare….   Tennessee Earthquake Elizabeth Marie, 5/20/25 (David's notes in red) The links she provides below all document and track the Madrid quakes: Southeast Missouri Earthquakes in the Last Week Missouri Earthquake Track Earthquakes Near Tennessee 200+ Earthquakes Shake the New Madrid Fault On May 18, 2025, the LORD led me to this verse in Jeremiah: “The LION (Satan) has come up from his thicket, And the DESTROYER of nations is on his way. He has gone forth from his place To make your LAND desolate. Your CITIES will be laid waste, Without inhabitant.” Jeremiah 4:7 The ‘LION' in this verse is DEATH, coming from the hand of Satan, as it says in 1 Peter 5:8, who comes to destroy the cities and land: “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a ROARING like a LION, looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 He is that GREAT DESTROYER, like in the days of Moses, when the ‘destroyer' came into the Egyptians' homes and killed the firstborns: “For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the DESTROYER to come into your houses to strike you.” Exodus 12:23 We are called to RESIST him: “Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.” 1 Peter 5:9 After reading Jeremiah 4:7, I immediately felt great sorrow and started weeping for what is coming. In my spirit, I knew that the ‘heaviness' that I felt was concerning the destruction that is coming to the United States. I believe this includes EARTHQUAKES! The links above are about EARTHQUAKES that occurred in the last week near the New Madrid Fault Line, as well as the 4.1 earthquake in Tennessee on May 10, 2025. The one in TN happened approximately 30 miles south of Knoxville and was felt in several states, including all the way down to Atlanta, GA. I heard from many who actually felt it, who were hours away, and they said it felt like a train rumbling through their house. EARTHQUAKE DREAMS: I have received quite a few dreams concerning the New Madrid fault, along with confirmations from other prophetic people. The first one was posted in Z3NEWS back in 2016, about the CONNECTION of a 9.5 earthquake, and the DIVIDING OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL: “In this vision, I saw an outline map of America. I didn't see the state lines, but only the outline of the U.S. Then, the map zoomed to where the earthquake started and I saw a black dot pulsating on the epicenter. The dot was in the upper part of the middle of the country, however, I wasn't sure of which state. It seemed higher than the New Madrid fault. Then I saw ‘9.5' indicating the level on the Richter Scale. I was not given any dates or timing.” “I was also shown that if Israel is divided, so shall America be divided.” Then, more recently, on April 15th, 2024, I had this dream and posted it on April 17th, 2025: “I saw an outline of the MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. Then I saw a large RED TARGET BULLS-EYE pulsating in the area of the New Madrid Fault. Then I noticed smaller, red, bulls- eyes, all up and down the East Coast of America. I don't know how many, but at least 6 smaller targets were pulsating. END OF VISION” I was also shown about the LIQUEFACTION that often comes with an earthquake: SERIOUS EARTHQUAKE WARNINGS The LORD does not give me these things to bring FEAR, but to bring revelation and confirmations of HIS END-TIME PROPHECIES. I believe that HE wants each one of HIS children to seek HIM concerning these warnings, so that they might HEAR HIS VOICE, and follow HIS directions accordingly. For some, it might even mean to relocate….BUT only if, or when you hear HIS still, small voice. (I agree) “And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 King 19:11-12   Warning Words About a Coming Shaking!  Ken Dewey 7/27/26  Celeste and I have been praying, asking the LORD if we could take a short vacation from this work [at Desert Zion] just to REST and recuperate. When we asked this, we heard Him say: The LORD said: “Don't travel!” We ask Him, "Will the Financial System fail?" He said: “No, it will be jolted!” Jolted: definition: to strike, shake up, jar, as with a bumpy ride or with a sharp blow, to move along in a jerky manner. He said again: it will change. I asked Him how; He said to something more maneuverable.  “Yes, there will be changes in the landscape, great changes. Lives will be lost, and there will be positive changes too. There will be building damages and rebuilding.” “People will panic for essentials, so have them on hand. Some technology will fail. It must not be depended on. Depend on Me, I AM your LORD. Do not fear. Air travel will be suspended.” We have posted this Word of Warning, even as we have heard it spoken to us.  LORD, help your people to hear and be warned, and help them prepare.  ~ Desert Prophet Ken Dewey The light will shine in His glory… In the desert.   The Next Step, More of Me!  June 9, 2026 Celeste Dewey Our God is a practical God. This is a practical Word from Him for the days ahead. Some are wondering what to do to be ready for the coming shaking. The next step will definitely need to be clearly seen. This is what The LORD said to me: “The LORD says today, “I need more of your time! Push everything aside! You must stay alert and don't let any setbacks [in your life] bother you. Some people feel stretched beyond limits; they feel like they are doing all they can to keep going. Just open your hearts and be in the moment. You take care of your relationship with Me. Concentrate and focus on it! I will help you. Just give Me your time and attention; that's all! Do not be afraid to take the next step, more of Me. (This agrees with the Word Debbie Fenske received recently about not being afraid of the Lord and getting close to Him, which I share below.) Eyes of Promise, Hearts of Fire, watch Me mold them to be My instruments of promise for a purpose greater than any man could imagine. Watch Me use them for My Glory, for they will go farther with Me than any other. They will see Me move; they will see the change firsthand because their gaze is unobstructed. It is set on the One who formed them and fashioned them for something greater than themselves. See me move secretly, opening their hearts further and further to My Desires!”  Added Scripture to Consider: Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  “I Love you, Yeshua!” I have posted this Word in obedience to my Holy Spirit teacher. God Bless you; you are in my prayers ~ Celeste Dewey   Do Not Fear My Love Debbie Fenske, 8/1/26 This is what the Lord began to speak to me as we were singing, No Longer A Slave. We are no longer slaves to fear.  “Yes, I say to you, My children, do not fear Me. Do not fear Me. Do not fear the great love I have for you. My love will draw you deep into Me. It's going to draw you deep into Me as you hang onto Me, and as you give Me all of your love. Do not fear where My love is going to be taking you. But look forward, expectantly, because you will know that My love has gone before you. It will be My love drawing you through your love for Me. So do not fear what I am going to be drawing you into. Because I will be drawing you into Myself. Deeper into Myself. Deeper into My love. Do not fear My love, My children.”  I felt that the Lord was using the song, Miracle Worker, to confirm that we don't have to fear. He is our Light in the darkness, and He's our Way Maker. And His love will lead us into dark places. But His light is in the darkness, going before us. Going through the darkness is helping us grow. We want all of God and we can trust Him in what He wants to do in us, because through it all He's our Light in the darkness, so we do not need to fear. He will always be our Light. Also, what came to me as I was typing this out was John 15. Out of His great love for us, it is His taking us through the pruning that will bring us deeper into Him.   Thank you Lord, for Your great love for us. We know there will be hard places that You are going to be leading us through. Even using us in. But we trust Your word to us, Lord. Thank You that it is always out of Your great love for us. And so we will not fear. We thank You that those You love, You prune. Thank You that in the pruning, through it all, You are bringing us to be Overcomers, and growing us more and more into Your image. So, we will not fear, because You tell us to not fear Your love. Thank You, loving Father. Amen.    Earthquake Warning for Wisconsin  Alison Pound, 08/14/26 link  August 2025  I Am the Lord. I Am here upon the earth for judgment. I will not relent in My judgments. I will not pause in My judgments. I Am a righteous God. All My judgments are righteous.  I will take America apart piece by piece. Until there is nothing left. She is a foul odor in My nostrils and a bitter taste upon My tongue. The cup is full. Full of America's iniquity.  I will not relent. There is to be another earthquake. A large crack will open up in the earth, many miles/kilometers long. I Am bringing this quake to a state where the people have long held Me in disdain. They are the rock'n roll state. Rock'n roll rules here. Unlike in the south where the blues is ‘it'. You do not know this state, and its fame.   But I have been watching them. My eyes miss nothing. The state of Wisconsin will have this earthquake. There will be many tremors ongoing after the California quake. But Wisconsin will have a large earthquake. The rock on which this state sits, deep down, has become quite thin. It is unstable.  There will be a division of the land. Eventually the USA will be broken apart top to bottom, north to south. Wisconsin has many farms, much produce. Feeding America. After this disaster they will no longer feed America.  

On the Record with Christian Briggs – A sweeping transformation is reshaping global finance as gold, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, digital currencies, and strategic resources gain new importance. While rumors of a secret monetary reset remain unsupported, governments, banks, and central banks are already building a faster, more digital financial system worldwide today...

Is the global financial system undergoing its biggest transformation since Bretton Woods—and are most Americans missing what's happening right in front of them?In this episode of On the Record with Christian Briggs, we investigate the explosive claims spreading across social media that President Donald Trump is preparing a monetary reset, Fort Knox gold could be revalued, the Federal Reserve is losing control, major banks are building a new digital-dollar system, and governments around the world are quietly preparing for a new financial order.Some of these claims sound unbelievable. Some aren't supported by the evidence. But underneath the internet mythology, something very real is happening.Central banks have returned to gold. America's enormous gold reserves remain carried on the Treasury's books at the statutory price of just $42.22 per ounce, raising provocative questions about what would happen if those reserves were ever revalued. Meanwhile, governments are competing for critical minerals, supply chains have become matters of national security, and the technologies powering artificial intelligence are changing the strategic importance of resources buried beneath the ground.But perhaps the biggest transformation is happening inside money itself.A 2026 Deutsche Bank report describes a financial system moving toward 24/7, always-on infrastructure, where stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits and central-bank digital currencies could coexist rather than replace one another. Stablecoins alone had surpassed $300 billion in market capitalization by April 2026, with approximately 99% of the market denominated in U.S. dollars. That raises a possibility almost completely opposite to the narrative dominating social media: what if digital money doesn't destroy the dollar—but actually extends its global reach?We also examine the crucial distinction between controversial retail CBDCs and the much less discussed wholesale digital-money infrastructure being developed between banks and central banks. Projects involving dozens of major financial institutions are already exploring tokenized deposits, programmable money and near-instant cross-border settlement. Finally, Christian tackles the biggest claim of all: Has a new Bretton Woods-style monetary agreement already been secretly negotiated?The evidence doesn't support that conclusion. But the deeper investigation leads somewhere arguably more consequential. There may be no secret reset at all. The global financial system may already be changing in plain sight.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Peter Carlin to the show. Peter Carlin is Commodity Broker, Trader, and Author. The discussion opens with the extreme volatility in global energy markets, where the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea disruptions are creating severe logistical bottlenecks. Carlin explains that the real crisis is not crude oil supply per se, but a mismatch between the sour crude grades needed by Western refineries and the sweet crude that is more readily available. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being heavily drawn down, particularly its sour component, to feed refineries and supply Europe, while refinery utilization rates in America are running unsustainably high, threatening system integrity. He notes that the situation is fluid and that any return to normal is unlikely; the geopolitical landscape has fundamentally shifted, with the US military presence in the Gulf diminished and Iran successfully exporting oil to China, settling in renminbi via alternative payment systems. The conversation shifts to gold and currencies. Carlin observes that gold's recent price action is linked to the apparent disappearance of a distressed seller in the Gulf, now that loadings have resumed. He sees the yen's weakness as a key barometer for gold, arguing that intervention cannot save the Japanese currency, and a sovereign debt crisis there would trigger contagion, driving investors toward gold and equities. He advises against chasing strength and recommends buying gold on weakness, cautioning that the public tends to do the opposite. Silver, while volatile, remains a leveraged play on fear but requires extreme caution due to professional traders dominating the market. Finally, Carlin shares the story behind his book, “A Pocketbook of Gold,” co-authored with the legendary Jim Sinclair, who famously called the 1970s gold bull market and the 2011 peak. The book, now available as a PDF, distills Sinclair's trading wisdom and serves as a survival manual for monetary turmoil. Carlin emphasizes the importance of disciplined, patient trading over speculative home runs, a lesson drawn from decades of market experience.

Join us for a timely discussion on two developments shaping the future of digital assets in the United States. We will examine the CLARITY Act and its effort to establish clear rules for whether digital assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight, as well as the ongoing dispute over Federal Reserve master accounts for crypto-focused banking institutions.Together, these issues highlight a central question: will digital asset firms gain both regulatory clarity and meaningful access to the nation’s financial infrastructure? The webinar will explore how the interaction between market-structure legislation and banking access could influence stablecoins, institutional adoption, and the broader integration of crypto into traditional finance.Opening Remarks:Hon. Cynthia Lummis, U.S. Senate, WyomingFeaturing:Paige Paridon, Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Regulatory Affairs, Bank Policy InstituteAlex Pollock, Senior Fellow, Mises InstituteCorey Then, Deputy General Counsel of Regulatory Strategy and Global Policy, CircleProf. David Zaring, Elizabeth F. Putzel Professor and Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics, The Wharton School, The University of Pennsylvania(Moderator) J.C. Boggs, Partner, King & Spalding

Marc Andreessen, Chris Dixon, and Robert Hackett discuss one of the most consequential policy debates facing the crypto industry: the push for comprehensive U.S. market structure legislation and what regulatory clarity could mean for innovation, financial markets, and America's technological leadership. They explore the CLARITY Act, stablecoins, securities law, consumer protection, and why both builders and financial institutions are calling for clear rules of the road. Along the way, they discuss the lessons of the early internet, FTX, open financial networks, and why they believe thoughtful regulation can strengthen innovation rather than slow it down.   Resources: Follow Marc Andreessen on X: https://x.com/pmarca Follow Chris Dixon on X: https://x.com/cdixon Follow Robert Hackett on X: https://x.com/rhackett Follow a16z Crypto on X: https://x.com/a16zcrypto Why Bitcoin matters: https://a16z.com/why-bitcoin-matters/ What builders need to know about the CLARITY Act: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/clarity-act-what-why-matters Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Today we're tackling a topic that sits at the uncomfortable intersection of finance and human suffering: human trafficking.   Every year, forced labour generates hundreds of billions of dollars in illegal profits  and much of that money passes through the very systems our industry is built to protect. Which means the people sitting in compliance, fraud and financial crime teams aren't just guarding against loss. In cases like this, they're often the first line standing between a trafficking network and the people it exploits.   In this episode, 'Tracing Trafficking Through the Financial System,' Kimberley Cole is joined by two guests who see this problem from very different vantage points. Archana Kotecha has spent years working directly with trafficking survivors across South East Asia, and now trains financial institutions on what trafficking actually looks like on the ground. And Anurag Mohapatra of NICE Actimize brings the strategic, industry-wide view on how detection technology and typologies are evolving to keep pace.   Together, we'll talk about what red flags really mean, why major global events like the 2026 World Cup raise the stakes, and what it actually takes to turn a suspicious activity report into a rescue. During our discussion we'll refence some of the findings in the Nice Actimize: The NICE Actimize Human Trafficking Investigative and Response Guide: World Cup 2026 https://resources.niceactimize.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Human-Trafficking-Investigative-and-Response-Guide-World-Cup-2026-Final.pdf

Not a tweak to the process. A fundamentally different way of thinking about your numbers and your future.If you have ever sat in a budget meeting that felt more like a negotiation than a plan, this will resonate._______________________________________Disclaimer:The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.

The financial system is quietly being rebuilt, and Bitcoin is moving from speculation to infrastructure. Stablecoins, tokenized assets and on chain finance are merging with traditional markets as the biggest players prepare for a new era. The question is no longer whether Bitcoin has a use case. It's whether you recognize where the world is heading before everyone else does.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Financial engineer and banking expert Iain Clifford joins the program to share his controversial story as a whistleblower during the 2008 financial crisis. He explains what happened, how he became ensnared in a financial scheme that exposed the underbelly of high finance, and why he believes he has been targeted ever since for speaking out.  History has shown that individuals who expose powerful interests often face significant personal and professional consequences. Whistleblower protection laws exist because retaliation against those who come forward is a real and well-documented concern.  Against that backdrop, Iain shares his perspective and experiences. The conversation then turns to how the banking system actually works. Iain breaks down the mechanics of modern banking and finance, challenges many common assumptions, and explains how ordinary people may be able to better position themselves by understanding the system more deeply.Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at high finance, banking, and the perspective of someone who has spent decades working within the financial system.

I have been saying for years that cryptocurrency has the structure of a multi-level marketing scheme: a small number of people at the top make enormous sums, while large numbers of ordinary people are recruited to invest, almost always lose money, and then recruit more people. Molly is an independent researcher and writer who covers cryptocurrency and the broader technology industry. She writes the newsletter Citation Needed (citationneeded.news), runs the ongoing tracker Web3 Is Going Just Great, and operates influence.citationneeded.news , which is being relaunched as Tech Influence Watch to cover both crypto and AI campaign spending.  The crypto industry emerged as a serious political force starting around 2024. Fairshake, the largest cryptocurrency super PAC, raised over $200 million in the 2024 election cycle, making it the top-funded super PAC in the country, surpassing even the MAGA super PAC (OpenSecrets data, via multiple sources including Axios and CoinDesk). As of early 2026, Fairshake has $193 million in cash on hand for the 2026 midterms. The industry's goal was explicit: remove legislators viewed as threats to crypto interests, install legislators who would promote them. Over a dozen enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies were dropped almost immediately after the 2024 election. Get a grasp on the issue of crypto with this illuminating interview.

Reza Rahman is the co-founder and President of Ava, a fintech company focused on transforming how people build and manage credit. After years in Silicon Valley scaling technology companies, Reza shifted his focus to consumer finance, driven by his belief that the current credit system is not designed to serve everyday people. As a first-generation immigrant, Reza built his credit from scratch while navigating student debt and the challenges of securing financing. Through that experience, he saw firsthand how complex and unforgiving the system can be, especially for those without access to the right knowledge or tools. He founded Ava in 2020 to create a more transparent and consumer-first approach to credit building. Today, the platform has helped hundreds of thousands of users improve their credit profiles, reduce interest costs, and build stronger financial foundations. His credit building app raised over $15 million dollars last year and demand continues to grow Reza's work focuses on helping individuals and entrepreneurs take control of their credit, improve their Fundability, and use financial tools to create real leverage and long-term opportunity. During the show we discuss: Why the traditional credit system fails most people—and how to work around it How to build and improve your credit faster using modern tools The role of fintech and AI in changing how credit is tracked and optimized How to turn your credit profile into a powerful funding tool The biggest mistakes people make that keep their credit stuck or declining How to reduce interest costs and strengthen your financial foundation What it takes to become truly funding-ready in today's environment How to use credit strategically to create long-term leverage and opportunity Resources: https://www.meetava.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rezarahman/

“Most of Africa is rural, and although urbanisation is taking root now, the systems that deliver financial services to women are still eluding them.” Leanna Byrne speaks to microfinance pioneer Dr Jennifer Riria about her life, career, and personal mission to improve the lives of women in some of Africa's poorest communities. Having started life in a poor, rural village in Kenya, Dr Riria worked her way up to develop and run one of the biggest microfinance institutions for women in Africa. Microfinance is a banking service providing small loans and more, to people with low income who might lack access to traditional banking. It's aimed at fostering self-sufficiency, financial education, and entrepreneurship in developing areas. Her focus is not limited to finance. She also draws on her experiences of teaching at university, and consulting for UNICEF, the UN children's aid agency, in order to progress women's development in education and leadership.

China's downturn just produced a major hit and it has officials stumped. It was the kind of bad that confirms almost everything already showing up in China's credit data, banking system, property market, and bond market. Retail sales nearly cracked. Worst month since the lockdowns. Fixed asset investment is crashing again. Yes, crashing. Industrial production, which had been one of the few remaining bright spots, suddenly didn't look so bright. Home prices were down for the twelfth straight time. It was ugly in every direction. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

If you want to get the skinny on anything related to financial markets or the financial system, then you need to talk with Samim Ghamami, Chief Economist of the New York state Insurance Fund.  That's what Mark and Cris do on this podcast. The conversation begins with the outlook for interest rates, turns to a perspective on a popular AI narrative that artificial intelligence will push rates up further by spurring investment and reducing household savings, and closes with a timely look at private credit and the risks it may pose to the broader financial system.

My guest today is Alan Waxman, co-founder and CEO of Sixth Street, a $130B global investment firm. Private credit is one of the most discussed topics in markets right now, and there is a lot to make sense of. The current discourse is almost entirely focused on symptoms. Alan Waxman has spent the time diagnosing the root cause. Alan thinks about the financial system the way a historian would, studying the incentives, guardrails, and market structure that determine how things play out. In this conversation, he traces the evolution of American finance from the 1929 crash through Glass-Steagall, the GFC, and Basel III to explain how we arrived at what he calls the factory model, the industrialization of liability-gathering and asset deployment that he believes is the root cause of everything happening in private markets today. This is my second conversation with Alan, our first one is one of my favorites from last year.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  ----- This episode is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Ramp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
