#492 Global Financial Shifts, Nuclear Tensions, & The Rise of New Monetary Dynamics
Brace yourself for a compelling journey into the world of global economic systems and geopolitical intrigue. What if the very fabric of our financial and political landscape is being manipulated by an elite few? With Beans the Brave by my side, we explore the controversial "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" document, tying it to the modern-day impacts of the Great Reset and Agendas 2030 and 21. We unravel the threads of influence BRICS wields on the dollar, the shifts in global payment systems like SWIFT, and ponder the potential ramifications of a Trump return on precious metals markets. Through the lens of history and its lessons, we question the ripple effects of parapolitics on today's economic realities.
As the world teeters on the edge of nuclear tensions, we provide a harrowing analysis of Russia's recent intercontinental ballistic missile test and Putin's revamped nuclear doctrine. From NATO's post-Cold War expansion to the Cuban Missile Crisis, we connect past proxy wars to today's fraught international chessboard, contemplating the dire consequences of missteps with a nuclear power like Russia. Amid escalating geopolitical strains, the need for diplomacy is more urgent than ever to circumvent the specter of catastrophic warfare and preserve global peace.
In a landscape shaken by global uncertainties, we witness the steadfast allure of gold and the meteoric rise of Bitcoin. Gold's resilience as a safe haven contrasts Bitcoin's bold challenge to traditional financial systems, hinting at a seismic shift in monetary dynamics. As the US dollar and Treasury yields gain strength, we interpret these movements as indicators of a revolution against entrenched financial orthodoxies. Our conversation meanders through the storied past of classic American coins, offering insights for collectors and investors alike. This episode promises a thorough exploration of the evolving stage of global finance and geopolitics, unveiling the transformative currents that shape our world.
Then out spake brave Horatius, the captain of the gate To every man upon this earth. Death cometh sooner or late. And how can a man die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods? Lord Makalai, you are listening to the Arterburn Radio Transmission.
Speaker 2:In conclusion, the objective of economic research as conducted by the magnates of capital, banking and the industries of commodities is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable. In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements of society must be brought under total control, ie must be housebroken, trained and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from every early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of a government-operated daycare center for the occupationally orphaned children. The quality of education given to the lower class must be the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little, if any, hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace and tranquility for the ruling upper class. That's from a document that was found in an IBM copier in 1986 at an estate sale estate sale. It's dated May 1st 1979, and it's a technical manual on the enslavement of mankind called the Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, and you can look that up online for free. Interesting story, interesting background. It is definitely what the elite have been doing. You call them the elite, you can call them the parasite class, the upper echelon, lizard people whatever your moniker is, ladies and gentlemen, I thought I'd lead with that, because it doesn't matter what the politics are of your preferred class or your team or whatever is going on in your own mind. We're still inside the Great Reset, we're still inside Agenda 2030. We're still inside Agenda 2030. We're still inside Agenda 21. That's what's happening.
Speaker 2:And you were listening to the Yard of Burn radio transmission broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons and the new world order. I'm broadcasting from deep within the heart of Texas, along with my co-pilot and co-host, beans the Brave. We joined David Knight, as we do every Thursday, to talk about the ever-changing financial global landscape which, even if you follow it every single day, like me and it's my wheelhouse and over and over again, what's going on with BRICS, what's happening to the dollar, what's the new payment systems, what's happening to the SWIFT system? And then, of course, geopolitical tensions. And I said, you know, a couple of weeks ago I said well, there's a lull in the market. You know, trump's been reselected, he's going to have a new administration, 45 and 47 make 9-11. So we're going to put that into effect. And you know, I knew that there would be a temporary pullback in precious metals. And again, parapolitics and precious metals folks I mean, this is my show, that's what we talk about they all flow together, believe it or not. And there was a pullback.
Speaker 2:But now you look at the headlines and you know you can start with things like Drudge. But we're going to dig even deeper. Russia launches an ICBM which is an intercontinental ballistic missile. I'm sure, as this is all language, I mean, this isn't like. You know, they're not testing anything. They're showing language to the rest of the world. They're showing language to the rest of the world.
Speaker 2:And if you don't have the background in, well, even if you're not interested, or if you haven't read like I have, if you haven't just become like a nerd where you just get wonky and read into you know the geopolitical movements and foreign policy going back, you know, post-world War II, then all this looks kind of well, it's kind of normal. Well, it's absolutely not. It's not normal. These are. We've been escalating tensions over there since well, I mean long before Russia invaded Ukraine. That was the purpose of it. The you know. You can even go back to the end of the Cold War, when Secretary of State James Baker gave a verbal promise to Mikhail Gorbachev that if they withdrew their troops, the Soviet troops, inside the natural borders of Russia and let the Soviet Union peacefully collapse, that we would not expand NATO, which was the entire reason for NATO itself.
Speaker 2:The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was based on George Kennan's long telegram and the Truman Doctrine on containment. It wasn't necessarily about rollback. It wasn't supposed to be aggressive, it was supposed to be about containment. And this became a rollback. This became an aggressive movement. Nato expanded. We promised we would not expand NATO. We expanded NATO in their face while they were weak, and this has been a long time coming.
Speaker 2:So a lot of these, you know the moves to a new administration. But the outgoing administration is saying well, let's see, let's see if we can escalate this into Armageddon prior to the arrival of the new administration. So here's what's happening. Let me put this up on the screen real quick. This is Kitco. Gold surges on geopolitical tensions and Putin's nuclear doctrine revision, gold futures have continued its impressive gains, marking three consecutive days of price advances, amid escalating global tensions and significant geopolitical developments. The precious metals value has been bolstered by recent statements from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has modified Russia's nuclear doctrine, creating ripples of concern in international markets. Putin's revised nuclear strategy introduces a provocative interpretation of potential aggression, suggesting that any attack supported by a nuclear power would be considered a joint assault on Russia, potentially triggering a nuclear response. Now let's just stop right there. I don't know that that's a change in doctrine, ladies and gentlemen. That's why we had proxy wars.
Speaker 2:If you go back to the 20th century, wars like the Korean War, that was language you understand. That was a test model, you know, to test the resolve of the United States and the United Nations. You know ability to roll back communism or to thwart the spread of international communism, and that was given. That was a green light by the Kremlin for North Korea to overwhelm the 38th parallel and take the entire peninsula. That's what that was for. And of course, there was Douglas MacArthur and there was the Korean War and you have all of that. You know that history of not necessarily taking, you know a taking North Korea back. It was. It was a line drawn, and that's the argument between MacArthur and Truman. Macarthur wanted to drop 70 atomic weapons on mainland China and litter the Yalu River with nuclear waste so that the communist Chinese troops couldn't cross the border and send troops into the house of South Korea. But the deal is and that's what the history shows is that Truman wanted the containment doctrine of not necessarily rolling back but stopping any further advancement, and that's why you have that argument. That's why he fired MacArthur and that's why we still have troops in South Korea. That's why we still have the 38th parallel and the DMZ.
Speaker 2:Same thing with Vietnam. Vietnam was language. We fought proxy wars there. I mean, that's why the Russians and you can get into there's also the international multinational banking cartels like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, who supplied through US goods and services and commodities, supplied the Soviet Union with the weapons to kill American troops in Vietnam. That's, I mean, that's undisputable fact. We did that, allowing these corporations and others to do that. But we fought these wars. That's what we did. We fought them on battlefields, not attacking each other directly. We did. We fought them on battlefields, not attacking each other directly. That's what the Cuban Missile Crisis was about. Why do you think the Soviets? And they parked missiles in Cuba. The same way we parked missiles in Turkey, but we didn't dare fire weapons made by either one of us into the sovereign territory of either one of those the United States or their allies, or anything else. It was again proxy wars, and that's the difference. That's why this is so alarming.
Speaker 2:Despite the alarming rhetoric, world leaders and strategic analysts are cautiously interpreting Putin's nuclear doctrine update. Many experts view the change as a sophisticated diplomatic maneuver designed to intensify deterrence against Western intervention, rather than a genuine indication of intimate nuclear escalation. Well, the thing is, if you've got crazy people like we do, you may back Putin into a corner where he has no choice, and it's like if you weren't going to have a red line. If you're going to actually have any respect, you're going to have to do something, and it sometimes will look like and become escalation.
Speaker 2:The financial markets have responded predictably by these mounting uncertainties. Gold futures have demonstrated remarkable resilience, experienced substantial gains this week. As of 6 pm Eastern time this is yesterday the December contract price is 2,631 Luciferian Bankster notes for a troy ounce of the Yeddle Medal that's the futures price Representing a net increase of $16.40 or 0.63% the cumulative gains this week have reached an impressive $86.70, with significant daily increments of $49 on Monday and $20 the following day. Well, that's what I said, all the fundamentals, and this is just a. Again, this is a little bit of change. All this was going on beforehand. What's interesting is that you have, like, this schizophrenic market where I don't know if you guys are watching this, but the price for Bitcoin $97,356. We're within striking distance of 100K. That's going on while gold is having a rebound, so now we're starting to see things flow together.
Speaker 2:Synchronicities. Simultaneously, traditional financial indicators present a complex economic backdrop. The US dollar index has strengthened, gaining 0.45% and settling at 106. Treasury yields have also shown notable movement and if you follow the dollar, like I do, these numbers are again consistent with a reshuffling. I think, again, people go into different markets depending on who they perceive or what system they perceive to be the most dominant. Persistent conflicts in both the Middle East and Ukrainian theaters continue to underscore gold's enduring appeal as a safe haven asset. As geopolitical uncertainties persist and potential resolution remains distant, investors are increasingly turning to gold as a reliable store of value during turbulent times.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, these are turbulent times, ladies and gents, and that's why I've been advocating, I've been saying that, whatever your political views, whatever your team, whatever you think's going on, all this is going on regardless. And these geopolitical tensions and what's happening with the dollar around the world, the fundamentals and everything that has made these crazy drives in the price of things like Bitcoin and gold, I mean, why do you think that's really going on? I mean, yes, there's a lot of speculation in Bitcoin, but why is that? It is the antithesis of the system.
Speaker 2:In the Greek mythology, whenever you would have something like, you'd have a character who would become hubristic. You had hubris, right Arrogance, like see themselves as God, like an infallible. And that's what those who who espouse the modern monetary theory, mmt or, as David Knight calls it, the magic money tree, that's hubris, folks. That's what that is. That's where, oh, nothing like this has ever worked in history. It's never worked. It's always gone to zero, but this time will be different. It's like when they try communism again and again. Well, that was different. That was under Mao, or that's under Stalin, or that's under Khrushchev, or that's under Castro, and that didn't work. Or that's socialism in Venezuela, that's Chavezism. That didn't work because of that, but in the purest sense, it works. It never does.
Speaker 2:Fiat currency and Marx, these are fairy tales. They're awful, nightmarish fairy tales. Else they end in mass graves, bloodshed, bankruptcy, you know apocalypse, now type horror, you know, to quote Colonel Kurtz. So this is. But that's what it is. It's hubris and in the Greek mythology, whenever you present hubris, the gods would summon nemesis, which was the total opposite, which was their destroyer. And that's a lot of what Bitcoin and the. You realize how fast we've advanced in the consciousness of human beings around the world to be aware of fiat currency and the dangers of that. It wasn't that. It was 10 years ago.
Speaker 2:I was running for congress and talking about this and it. It wasn't super popular. I mean, you'd have some people in the crowd going, oh yeah, I get about the federal reserve and the. You know, I get that about. You know fake currency and the international banking cartels and oh, I get that, I'd hear that. I, you know they'd raise their hand, there'd be some spring. Now it's, it's ubiquitous, it's everywhere.
Speaker 2:And there was a couple of years after that I was getting into the Bitcoin ATMs and then eventually we launched Wise Wolf, and the reason I did that is because this is a trend. Not only was I interested in it, and that's my passion, but this is a trend. What we're watching is history unfolding. You're just seeing the very tip of a complete change in the global financial structure, which will be a complete change in the, in the, in the world. It'll be complete change in culture. It'll be a complete change in politics. Everything, all the power structures, will change based on this, and that's what I'm showing you. This is a revolution that's happening. It's not just about pricing models and it's not just about commodities, right?
Speaker 2:Think about that. Think about Bitcoin at $100,000. What does that mean? That means that the current financial system needs an escape hatch. Gold and silver are just money. Bitcoin has other aspects to it. I mean you can.
Speaker 2:If you go out and trade your time for for money, you want to get something like gold and silver. You don't want fiat. The reason you don't is because they're constantly creating new fiat currency and they're devalued, so you wouldn't. You wouldn't want that. You would want something that's going to withstand things like inflation or geopolitical turmoil and have you know it exists and it's a store of energy and it has a 5,000 year history. That's why you'd want something like that. But again, we're talking about a complete change of global financial orders. The hubris has summoned nemesis. Interesting to watch? All right, I'm going to. I will check the chat. By the way, I'll check the chat today.
Speaker 2:I've got the chat on Rumble pulled up. I've got a chat on Rockfin pulled up over. Not a space age. No, this is the backdrop to. I thought it was appropriate. This is the backdrop to NORAD in the movie War Games with Matthew Broderick, where they have Joshua, the AI computer built by Mr Falcon, and that's where you get the famous line about the only way to win is not to play the game. I will check Rockfin as well here shortly, but I want to jump into some more articles, just kind of off the.
Speaker 2:If we stay on the line of foreign policy, because this is the most important story, we have to be very careful to understand this. Or again it's like oh, it's over, we have an election, it's over. No, it's not over. Until it's over. Right, let me stop this screen and we'll pull up this. This is natural news, just more in the realm of foreign policy.
Speaker 2:Moscow promises devastating response if Zelensky strikes deep in Russian territory. This is by Ethan Huff missiles deep into Russia, a move that Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zekharova warns will provoke a devastating response from Moscow. At a news briefing this week, zakharova addressed a report from the Telegraph last week claiming that the United Kingdom and France are asking the United States for permission to approve Ukrainian strikes on Russia using storm, shadow and scalp cruise missiles before President-elect Donald Trump is installed in January. If the Kiev regime gets permission for the affirmation strikes, we will treat it as NATO de facto entering a direct conflict with Russia. Entering a direct conflict with Russia, zakharova said the response to the use of Western long-range weapons against the territory of our nation would be imminent and devastating. I can't emphasize enough.
Speaker 2:And our mainstream media, the teleprompter readers and hairdos, the dead soul automatons for multinationals, they don't know this history. I feel like you know this was. You know going back to the movie Terminator 2, and you had, you know, the young John Connor and he's talking to the Terminator. He's talking to the terminator, talking to the ai and uh, he tells them how he gets they start judgment day. You know how they launch the, get the world and the human beings to kill themselves. You know, with nuclear weapons, or at least to start the chain of events so they could get rid of human beings. And basically they launched, launch on Russia. So Russia will launch on us and and John Connor says, wait, russia aren't, aren't they our friends?
Speaker 2:Now, you know this is going back to the uh, early nineties and I remember watching that as a kid and thinking, well, we avoided. You know the cold war, it ended. You know my as a kid, I was growing up there was. You know the cold war, it ended. You know my as a kid, I was growing up there was. You know everything was about the cold war. You had rambo movies, you had things like rocky four. You know the go and fight.
Speaker 2:Ivan drago and I was fascinated with the soviet union and, uh, that history there. And of course he reached the 90s and by december, on christmas in 1991, gorbachev gives up the ghost and the Soviet Union disappears off the face of the planet. It's, I mean, one of the most epical events in human history. We don't, I don't think we realize just what a massive event that was. And the fact that it went peacefully it says a lot about the you know who Gorbachev was. I mean, it says a lot about God's intervention, with the fact that we didn't have they didn't bring the temple down on us at the same time. It could have been a revanchist, very dark period in history, but it wasn't. And they were our friends and we botched it period in history but it wasn't. And they were our friends and we botched it.
Speaker 2:Our leaders, like Paul Wolfowitz, with the Wolfowitz Memorandum in 1992, singled out Russia as the main enemy and that we would do everything in our power to make sure that they were only a regional power and never would expand to a global power again. And there was no real—if you read the Wolfowitz memorandum, there's no real it's not a thoughtful scenario where they've taken it to its logical conclusion about what Russia would do if we did launch missiles inside of their territory, which were called on by the Wolfowitz memorandum. So you would think that we had long ago patched this up, and this is what a huge blunder this has been. We already knew that the emerging global economy would require different affiliations, different strategic alliances, and we just botched it.
Speaker 2:We fed and awakened the dragon. It's something Napoleon said about China. He says China is a sleeping dragon. It'd be wise to let it continue to slumber. No, we went and just poked it and woke it up and said hey, here's all our manufacturing, here's all our technology here, take it, we'll open our markets to you. We won't charge you anything for entrance. It. We'll open our markets to you. We won't charge you anything for entrance. You charge us. Do our old playbook. So you put on tariffs and we'll take them off, because that's what we're. We're so smart, we have the modern monetary theory, all of our economists are so brilliant.
Speaker 2:So we gave China everything. We gave them through free trade agreements and offshoring and taking our factories out and then supplying weapons technology for backroom deals and bags of cash to the Chinese, and you know it's kind of an agreed, not you know wink and a nod built China up and at the same time, instead of forming alliances like we did that's the whole reason. We opened China was supposedly was to offset the balance of power between the Soviet Union as a whole and Mao's China China and make it triangular diplomacy. That's what it was supposed to be. But instead we just went around the world night-sticking people like a drunk cop, like for the policemen of the world, and went all into the it's funny, right, there's seven countries in five years. What does that have to do with the American security? Absolutely nothing. We did all the wrong things right. We just botched this entire deal. I happen to believe it was on purpose right to put the United States in the position that it is today. Let's continue down with this article.
Speaker 2:Russia has repeatedly said that longer-range Western-supplied weapons are a no-go in Ukraine, at least not when Ukrainian forces are using them on their own. Nato specialists are needed, as is intelligence data obtained through the bloc's satellite systems, in order for the weapons to be used properly. See, this is where NATO becomes an just back up a minute to remember. I remember distinctly he's like wine sipping. You know the, the folks that you find in university towns, like on social media when Russia invaded Ukraine, media when Russia invaded Ukraine and I'm sure they have all their political affiliations are to the left of Karl Marx. You know they would say stuff like well, nato's never been an aggressor, and I remember thinking I was with NATO. You know, we bombed Serbia for 78 days Not an aggressor. What about Gaddafi? You know what about Syria? We have all sorts of operations that NATO's taken part in the Taliban. It's like the Taliban didn't attack us on 9-11. They got leveled by NATO. Don't give me that.
Speaker 2:I love the way that faux intellectuals try to reset history based on their own ignorance. Possibility that Washington will give Kiev the green light, like London and Paris are asking. If that happens, russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow will consider such an action to be indicative of NATO joining the conflict directly. If such weapons are used, that would mean that not just Ukraine but NATO nations are openly at war with Russia. Yes, that's what that means. You know.
Speaker 2:It is really just ridiculous to watch all this, just all of the equity that's been built up. Think about all of the. You know you go back to JFK's speech at American University in June of 1963, right before he was murdered by the deep state and he talks about what genuine peace is. They talk about a genuine peace, not the peace of the slave or the security of the grave, not simply peace in our time, but peace in all time. You know he's talking about laying the foundations for generational peace. That's one of the reasons that he got killed right, because that's not profitable. You think about all the equity that was built up, all the lives that were given, all of the strategic moves that were made, all the treaties that were signed, all the summits that were happening between you know Eisenhower riding in an open car with Khrushchev, for you know the back-channel communiques on the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or Reagan at Reykjavik ending the Cold War, and for what? So we could fast forward to now and they just like tear off all the warning signs and all the governors and everything. We just keep marching forward onward to war. That's an on purpose thing, folks.
Speaker 2:Another this is Putin's changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine. Another recent development is the change in President Vladimir Putin's made to his country's nuclear doctrine Attacks on Russia by a non-nuclear state, ie Ukraine, that is supported by a nuclear power, ie the United States, will be considered by Russia as a justification for a nuclear response. I don't think that's such a huge departure from where we already were. I mean, think about that If Cuba would have launched missiles on the United States, president Kennedy said that would be considered an attack on the United States by the Soviet Union, because it de de facto is, because it's entering into sovereign territory by the dueling powers. That's why we have these proxy wars. It was a way for the military contractors to still make their money right and still have all we still have the ritual of death for these psychopaths. We could still have that a little bit of outlet for them without, you know, taking the entire planet and setting it on fire, and there was a way to test out new toy, all this stuff. That's why we had the.
Speaker 2:Well, there's a multiple reasons why we had, you know, wars in the middle east wasn't so much proxy as it was. You you know it was about a foreign powers lobby. That's a. That was a big reason for it. But you get what I mean. Just read that again. America, if the pro-war West gets its wish, russia is ready to sandblast the West as punishment using nuclear weapons, because we've been hearing this kind of rhetoric for a while and eventually something is going to break.
Speaker 2:There's also talk that Ukraine might try to cheat by passing off Western-supplied missiles as having been built in Ukraine, which Tsarkovsky called bloody cheating, mourning that this could not even be possible for Ukraine to pull this off without US support. Well, it's so blatantly obvious. They're a death cult. I mean these never before even go back to World War I and a lot of people don't know this history. But they had something called the Von Schlieffen Plan and I mean you had these like Prussian generals you know that coming out of the Franco-Prussian War of the late 1870s with Bismarck and others like very pro-war and they just really because of the arms manufacturer Krupp you know the Krupp family they really perfected the steel that made these cannons, these long-range cannons and artillery pieces. This was a huge leap in technology. So the Arms of Krupp that's a great book by William Manchester, and so they have these new technologies and everything. But they had these old world thinking.
Speaker 2:But they kept redrawing this like this. Von Schlieffen was the head general. He kept redrawing this like this. Devon schlieffen was the head general. He kept redrawing the plans and shelving the plans, so like what would happen if we wanted to mobilize and we wanted to take france and the rapid, you know blitzkrieg and all that. And france had some plans drawn up, all the everybody had plans to go to war and then somebody that lit the fuse. You had the you know the murdering of the archduke ferdininand, and that really wasn't it. But that's what kind of set off.
Speaker 2:You know, all the different treaties were pulled between Austria and Serbia, who joins the war and who doesn't, right, and of course they execute the von Schlieffen plan at least they try to, and it doesn't really work, based off of technologies that had changed and troop movements. But at the same time you had the Kaiser, the head of Germany. He actually had a nervous breakdown and he was trying to stop it and they couldn't stop it. None of the statesmen really wanted it, they just wanted to flex for a while. But all these treaties started following. It's a domino effect and they couldn't put the genie back in the bottle. And then you have this bloodletting for four years with massive leaps in technology, you know, with the airplane technology. You know with the airplane with. You know gas, with mustard gas and chlorine gas, and you know belt-fed machine guns and all these other things, but with like 19th century tactics. It was just an awful that's where you get trench warfare but they couldn't stop it.
Speaker 2:Well, those people were a hundred times better than what we have today I don't—if you know anything about history and you look at the current headlines and you read into the biographies of the people that are making calls now. I don't want to be totally blackmailed or anything, but it's absolutely terrifying. Yeah, one day before Zakharova issued her warning, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, that buffoon, told GB News in an interview that London could send troops to Ukraine to try to stop Kiev from being defeated by Moscow. Well, can we get this straight? That Moscow I mean Russia could have already taken Ukraine? It's not the goal. It's such a lazy way to look at it. By the way, I don't have could have already taken Ukraine. It's not the goal. It's such a lazy way to look at it. And, by the way, I don't have a dog in this fight. It's just so you don't think I'm. You know, I'm not a ruse. I've never been to Russia. I will go someday.
Speaker 2:There's too much history there not to go, but if you know the background, it's just ridiculous. And you have these buffoons and people like these disheveled degenerates like Boris Johnson who, instead of being a voice for peace and reason and compromise or you know real politic? This isn't real politic. This is insanity. Johnson says there is worry within the Western cabal that Trump might decrease or even abolish all military aid to Kiev, which would completely decimate the deep state in an instant. Well, maybe right, maybe right. Definitely their kitty. You know what? You would do well, ladies and gents, to go and look up the definition of the word boondoggle. It's like an unnecessary thing. Unfortunately, this is a very satanic boondoggle, if not the most satanic that's ever presented itself, and it's all centered around the breadbasket of Europe which is Ukraine.
Speaker 2:Russia says it has no plan to attack any NATO member states. However, should NATO get involved in the Russian-Ukraine conflicts? All bets are off. It'd be interesting to enter the reality of the likes of Starmer and Macron to understand what makes them think that resorting to such desperate measures could force Russia to yield.
Speaker 2:A commander wrote about the situation. Yeah, this is the question. You're backing a nuclear-armed Russia into a corner. They have what? 10,000 nuclear weapons. They were first in space. They still have nuclear submarines, massive landmass natural resource, all these things. Now their economy is about the. It's not you know the best in the world, but it's still a force to be reckoned with and can trigger massive loss of life. That's where you get the term mega-death. It's for a term of nuclear war, it's the fallout from a nuclear exchange, that every million people that are killed is called a mega-death, that every million people that are killed is called a mega-death.
Speaker 2:Quote it is plain to see that Russia is facing a very nasty and implacable enemy, wrote another. In a situation like this, military force is a necessary and indispensable option. Boris and Starmer. British intelligence represents a genuine threat to world peace, said another. They are stupid and enmeshed in their Russophobic fantasies. They need to be slapped away like naughty children. That's exactly right. It's like the same ilk as Lindsey Graham or one of these other psychopaths. This is really hard to watch and you wonder like just hope cooler heads prevail in the face of it.

Speaker 2:I try to cover what I think when I look at the show, look at the headlines. I try to cover what I think is the most pressing matters and try to stay out of anything. That's just, and this is what I have to do. When there's so much going on, you need to pay attention to what is going to be the most valuable information. This is what I think is the most valuable, and a lot of the politics and the things that are weighing us down, I don't think that they'll matter and, given the big picture, you only have so much brainpower At least I do, right, I only have so much brainpower. All right, let's pull this up. Let me stop this screen.
Speaker 2:There was an article up on Zero Hedge and we'll cover this all the way to the end. We'll close out the show this way. I won't be able to get to the entire thing, but it does have some great points in it. All right, let me pull this up. This is Zero Hedge eight points in it. All right, let me pull this up. This is zero hedge.
Speaker 2:There we go, the magic of classics us gold and silver coins, and there there's a lot of magic there. This is by the jesse colombo, the bubble bubble report over on substack. There's a great article says most gold and silver investors begin their journey by purchasing modern bullion coins such as the American gold and silver eagles from the United States Mint, a practical and popular way to invest in precious metals. And how I started as well. However, I soon discovered that the United States Mint once minted gold and silver coins for everyday circulation, not just for investment purposes, like today's bullion coins. As I delve deeper into these classic American coins, I developed a profound appreciation for their elegance, historical significance and connection to a time when the US dollar was made from and backed by gold and silver. He you know. In this article I'm going to go into what those coins were and their significance, he says.
Speaker 2:For years after the ratification of the United States Constitution, congress passed the Coinage Act of 1792. This landmark legislation established the US dollar as the nation's standard unit of currency, created the United States meant and self set forth regulations for coinage. This act is designated the silver dollar is the official unit of money and declared it lawful legal tender. It also introduced three gold coins the ten dollar eagle, the five dollar half eagle and the two dollar and 50 cent quarter eagle eagle, the $5 half eagle and the $2.50 quarter eagle. It's funny I just bought the other day I bought a $2.50 Indian and I'm going to probably put it into a bezel for another necklace. Those are great little savings accounts you can wear because it's about you know, it's the size of about a dime, if you know really about the size of the Krugerrand there I have around my neck and it's worth like I don't know. It's over $300 or so of melt value, I'm pretty sure, and that was $2 and 50 cents. The $20 double Eagle coin containing 0.9675 troy ounces of gold was introduced in 1849 as a means to utilize the market as the significant influx of gold from the California gold rush Remember the 49ers A lot of new gold hit the system.
Speaker 2:It's funny, though, even through because the market expanded and because we had so many, there's more people, there's more goods and services and everything else, even with the introduction of new gold hitting the market, prices remain steady. And because of innovation see, even with gold, new gold hitting the market and you know again, new units it didn't necessarily expand the money supply to increase prices, like fiat currency does, if that makes any sense Because people were, because of the technology that was being rolled out in the Industrial Revolution and all the rest, prices went down. See prices going up is not natural. We should be in a deflationary system. There should be a better widget, a better way to make something. And when you have fiat currency, prices go up because they expand the money supply and they reward things and institutions that should not be rewarded. You see the inverse and the perversion of the markets. There was no inflation in the 19th century. None Brief periods possibly, but overall. Like I always say, if you were going to see George Washington, you bought a new suit. That suit cost the same in 1902. Let me see.
Speaker 2:From 1795 to 1933, the United States meant produce gold coins and designed for everyday use rather than for investment or collecting. During this period, silver coins were commonly used for daily transactions. Why gold coins primarily served as a means of savings and wealth preservation. Gold coins were also used for large purchases, such as land and in commercial transactions. Due to their high value, gold coins were typically owned by the affluent. In particular, the $20 gold double eagles were stored in bank vaults and seldom circulated in everyday life because of their substantial value.
Speaker 2:Well, like I said, $20, so let's look at this $20, a $20 gold piece is 0.9675 ounces of gold. So let's do the math. Let's see what $20 in purchasing power. Today gold is 2,669 Luciferian Bankster notes per troy ounce. So if we want to find out the melt of a $20 gold piece times 0.9675, that's $2,58 dollars for melt on a twenty dollar gold piece. Two thousand five hundred and eighty two. Let's see if your primary goal is to invest in gold while still enjoying a touch of history, as opposed to collecting rare coins, focus on common 20-year gold double eagles from the late 1800s and early 1900s as your best bet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, here's another tip. If you're ever somewhere and somebody is going to give you you know pre-33 coins, don't ever buy one that says 1933. There's only like. The Smithsonian has some. Some were stolen. Those are worth. Well, if they're worth, whatever criminality you'd be in. Somebody stole some, right, there were some circulating, but I've had them. Come into the shop, you'll have these people, they'll put them across the counter and I'll look at the date and I go uh-oh, that's really bad that you have one of those that's fake. You don't want to buy one that says 1933 on it, but that's the last time we made actual money in this country.
Speaker 2:As far as classic coins go, these coins typically carry the lowest premiums over the spot price for gold. For instance, brilliant, uncirculated $20 St Godin's Double Eagles at a 6% premium over spot. Well, sometimes I can do better than that. It just really depends Depends on how many you buy. We buy them all the time and a lot of times we'll turn around and sell them to customers. I keep a lot in inventory, but they are fun and they do constitute a collector. You are being a collector there, but you still have the gold. Still have the gold. Uh, the smaller ten dollar, five dollar and two dollar fifty cent gold eagle series coins are certainly fascinating and I personally own a few, he says. However, they tend to carry significantly higher premiums compared to the twenty dollar gold double eagles. Well, that's true too. And but all things fractional do folks, I mean all all fractional gold and fractional silver is going to have a premium. It just always does. It's the way. Even I have to buy it that way. It's the way it is.
Speaker 2:There's an addition to classic american gold coins. I also enjoy investing in classic american silver coins which were minted for everyday circulation between 1794 and 1970. Well, sparingly, from 1965 to 1970, that's where you get the 40% Kennedy halves. Today these coins are a popular way to invest in silver and commonly referred to as junk silver. I don't like that either. I like constitutional silver. Pre-1965 silver coins are 90%, 40% and 35%. I like a little bit of the 40% Kennedy Habs if there's a deal on them, but typically not.
Speaker 2:And he is right, they are fun. And I like the pre-33 gold and pre-1965 silver always fun to collect and you can get that through Wise Wolf silver always fun to collect and you can get that through wise wolf.
