 All rightv , welcome back to part two. Got Jimbo on again. So now we're going to talk about the war. I'm already uploading the other one. It's already uploaded. So people can watch that while they're waiting on us to finish this one. So Jimbo, take it away, my man. [laughter] >> Take one away. I didn't really think we're going to have a a big war with Iran. I I thought it would be disastrous. Um I'll share some of my thoughts and I I don't mind being wrong. Um I just

think since I'm wrong, [laughter] they made a big mistake. I mean, okay, since I'm wrong, I have to think about what happened. What did I not calculate correctly? Um, I'm going to say this and it's a very delicate point, but I think there's a leash around. He's got some controllers. >> Yep. >> And Teal is one of them. And this is very delicate and and I I'd rather not say anymore about the Donald uh leash, but I'm pretty sure that there are four motives with this Iran

conflict. It's hard to call it a war. It's a regional conflict that could become much wider. Um, here are some of the other angles to this. And you know, people have short memories. I have a very long memory. I was told when I [laughter] when I went in 1987, I went into drug rehab, [laughter] they said, "Jim, you you've got a really patient, cold vengeance streak." >> [laughter] >> AND I SAID, "I KNOW. I KNOW. I'LL WAIT two years to get my cold vengeance." But

you know that that's the old me. That's the 1980s me. And I'm [laughter] I'm older and wiser and more mature now. But um [clears throat] I remember what do I remember? Donald Trump in his first administration. I think he was like six months into office and he said the Iran nuclear deal is one of the scummiest deals he's ever seen the details for. Those are his words. One of the scummiest deals. And I looked into it and thought, "Okay, what's he referring to?" He said, "There's narcotics

involved. There's five billion in cash. an entire plane load with pallets of I mean if it's if it's5 billion and it's filling up a plane it's got to be $20 bills. It can't be $100 bills. I mean really $10,00 bills and you got a mill you got Yeah. You got a million um so 10 million $100 bills you got a billion. So 50 million $100 bills and you got five billion. Okay, maybe that's a plane load. I I don't know. I haven't really seen a calculation of a pallet of $100

bills. I don't know how much that's worth, but I will say this that the drug the drug cartels, they don't have counting much anymore. They use scales. Uh they say, "How many kilograms of $100 bills do you have in your shrink wrap?" Because the plastic in the shrink wrap is negligible in the weight. So they go by tonnage of $100 bill. Okay, just a funny little aside. Um so what was so scummy, Donald? Okay, they made a nuclear deal and apparently, you know, a lot of the consensus was um Iran is going to be

permitted to do nuclear refinement because they've got nuclear plants to generate electricity and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, but they're giving him 5 billion in cash and there's some narcotics in the equation. Was it actual narcotics or was it payment for past narcotics? We don't know anything because we're just plebbeians. We're just we're just, you know, what do they call us? useful idiots, >> right? >> And and what I like to do is flip that

around and say, "Well, now Black Rockck and JP Morgan and Bank of New York Melon, they're going to be useful giants because they're going to lift the value of XRP and other coins. I mean, 100fold." Why? Because it'll be profitable for them. Because they're going to make money in the hundreds of billions, and we're going to make money in the millions. So, we'll both be happy. But there aren't very many of us. Okay, get back to the Iran deal. Um, I mean, some

people called the JC something, PA bill. Ah, gosh, I just called it the Iran nuclear bill. What I'm learning, Scott, is that the parts regarding nuclear were minor in the deal. It was more a deal about narcotics and let's just say burying deep underground some Epstein files. And I I know I know it sounds really weird, but [clears throat] when it comes to really important files, data files, there's not one copy, there's not two copy, there's not three copies, there are six or seven

copies. So the question is where are the files? Well, I think that they're in Switzerland. I think Langley has a bunch. I think Iran has a bunch. And I think some are maybe even in Greenland for all that matter. Now, why does this matter? Because it could be that the Iranians were using them FOR BLACKMAIL. OKAY, WE DON'T KNOW. OKAY, there's a lot there. There like four sides to this Iranian conflict. And I think most intelligent people will get their hands and their heads wrapped around two of the four parts.

Does Donald want a higher oil price? Let me throw that back to you, Scott. you know, and he said yes, you know, and it would put more pressure on Russia and all this other stuff, but Russia makes their own oil, you know, so >> that benefits Russia. Why? That wouldn't harm Russia, >> right? >> Oh. Oh, a favor to Russia. >> Yeah. Kind of. >> We'll we'll do this, we'll do that, and we'll lift the oil price for your benefit, and you'll [clears throat] be

able to finance your Ukraine war better. Okay, that's good. Good. Yeah, but it, you know, the thing about gas got around to almost like 225 around here roughly, you know, 240 something like that. Now it's over three bucks and people are just squealing cuz you know the price of gas, it's going to raise the price of everything because everything's done by trucking now. You know, we're only three days away from a food supply if all the trucking was to shut down. So it it's it you know when I

think when Trump came in on this first time, you know, gas got down to where it was almost like two bucks a gallon there and it was super cheap. Oh, gas is going to go down cheaper after the war. Well, now you got everything just closing up. People are pissed off everywhere. I'm having a hard time even defending anything that he's doing right now because he's being so controlled. Then he's even bragging about, well, I think I had I forced Israel into this war now. You know, it's like, okay, what's all

that about? You know, >> we're not What really pissed me off though a lot is he said he was going to audit the Fed Fort Knox. That never happened. All the Doge cuts came in. You know, when he first came into office, he was talking all this big was going to happen out of Fort Knox. Doge is going to cut all this fraud, waste, and abuse. the Republicans shut down the whole Doge thing now. You know, we're all talking about we're gonna get all these big checks coming back because of

all this. What about all this tariff money that says it's coming into the country? Well, who's seeing that money? Where's that money going? Is it going to fund all these other wars and stuff? Now they're talking about, oh, we don't have enough ammunition, you know, to do some of this stuff. He's begging all these ammunition plants to start creating more ammunition now because it's on the verge of running out. So what the hell is he really doing? I mean, is this America

first? I don't think so. >> No, he's focused on geopolitical matters. You know, Greenland, the Ukraine, um the the Somalis. Okay. You you mentioned a number of critical things. He's made good progress in exposing US aid fraud. Uh he's made good progress in exposing um fraud with with audits. Uh he's made progress with Somali in Minnesota. >> But where's the where are these why aren't these people going to jail? He just came out the other day and said, "Oh, I can't find a statue to be able to

hold the potato. I call Biden the potato account for the auto pin." And I'm thinking like, are you kidding me? We can file criminal complaints on public officials. We do it on judges, attorneys, you know, cops, anybody, you know, mainly judges. He's punting people accountable. >> I I know he's punting. He's made progress with ICE and exposing the sanctuary cities and states. Um he's made no progress with Fort Knox. Okay. I have a big beef with tariffs and I've

mentioned it before and I don't want to get locked into this, but let me just say that tariffs can be effective if it results in commitments and and actual breaking ground and creating plant equipment and jobs and the downstream industries from the tariffs with foreign direct investment. And let me point out one particular example because it was a giant screw up. Soft Bank pledged hundred billion dollars for data centers, electric plants, and robotics industry. And then they pledged another

hundred billion the following week or so. And then four months later, Donald Trump slaps a uniform 10% tariff against Japan. And SoftBank said, "We're stopping. We're not doing anything." Okay, that's an example of using tariff as a weapon. I call it a club budgeon >> and and not a carrot. Yeah. I like the tariffs to be used as a carrot. Okay. We we induce the Germans. We say, "Look, we're going to slap a tariff on your on all of your output uh like like for BMWs

and and Porsches and and Mercedes and Volkswagens. Uh, but if you build some plants in the United States and start hiring in the Midwest where the the NAFTA lost all their a lot of different jobs to Mexico, if you replace that, well, we'll reduce the tariff from from 10 to 5%. Okay, that's the carrot. TRUMP HAS LOST THE ABILITY to use tariffs as a carrot. Okay, he's talking now about having a a refund, a rebate to the citizens, uh, you know, redistribution of the tariff income. That doesn't work. We need them to break

ground. We need Apple to to follow through in their Wisconsin plants. We We need Soft Bank to build electric plants. We We don't even care about whether they're fueled by oil or coal or natural gas. I prefer natural gas. >> Mhm. >> For the turbines. LET'S GET GOING. WE'RE WAY BEHIND. We're like like 15th in rank for new generating plants for electricity. We're like we're acting like a third world nation. OKAY. TRUMP IS NOT doing economic development. He's

doing geopolitical development and realignment. Okay. We need to use the tariffs as a carrot for foreign direct investment FOR BREAKING GROUND FOR making plant equipment for hiring the industry getting the supply chain involved doing training FOR WORKERS. OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE WORKERS. OKAY, FINE. There was a big controversy eight months ago about importing Indians from India. >> H1B. I'm just basically giving him the double barrel finger at this point. And it's like, dude, you you're losing me.

And if you lose me, you're lo that means you're losing a whole shitload of other people, too. >> Okay. All right. Let me get to Iran and and this war because there's some important points that I wish to make. Um the the Russians have copied the design of Iranian drones and they're producing them themselves. They've gotten licenses from Iran to [clears throat] produce their own drones because it's going to be a cut off. Iran is going to be isolated. Okay. The Iran is doing a rather creditable job.

It's unfortunate, but they're knocking out radar stations. They're uh attacking ports. They're inducing like like Qatar now does not want US air their airspace to be used by the US Air Force. Um there there's a lot of consequences going on. There's an attack on every naval port and uh I got word from a military source that the the naval ports in the Gulf are not disabled. They're just damaged. And and it's not tremendous damage. It's it's it's notable damage here and there. It's

spotty damage. Um [clears throat] the USS Abraham Lincoln, that's an aircraft carrier. And to me, it's like a a bathtub Sabia. Um what a mess. So they had 12 months without leave. They were jamming mops into the toilets. >> Yeah. into into the uh you know the sewer system on board the ship. >> Yeah. >> And you you can guess where all that goes. Probably not into a tank. It probably goes out in out the back end, you know, out the poop shoot. Um >> the soldiers, the naval seaman were

angry. Okay. Where is it now? It's not >> it's nowhere near the uh the Hormoose Strait. It's south. It's a few hundred miles south. It's out of the way. Um, the most important point that I can make regarding the dead all four years, his inauguration was a funeral event. >> Um, we've have we have exhausted much of our not all, much of our arsenal in Ukraine. >> Mhm. >> We've donated it to NATO. They've blown it up. They they've wasted it. It's a a

war of attrition. Well, what is the victim of attrition? The US military arsenal. Okay. Trump invited four or five different military contractors into the White House and said, "You need to increase four to fivefold your output of of missiles, artillery shells, and and all kinds of other different weaponry." Why? Because we're running out. >> Mhm. We're running out of the THAAD THAAD batteries. I believe they're anti-missile batteries. We We make only like seven a year. They

cost a billion dollars and several of them have been damaged severely to the point where they don't work. >> Okay, we are now without radar and we are largely without anti-missile defense. the Iron Dome over the little control nation in the southeast corner. Targets, they're not military targets, not all. There there's some civilian targets like power plants and, you know, big apartment buildings where elites live and thing, you know, just things like that. A corporate center that that

is involved in design and weaponry, whatever. Um bank, whatever. They've not hit the Knesset, you know, the parliament. They've not hit that. Um, don't ever forget Donald said we're saving that country for last. What does that mean? >> Personally, I think they ought to make it first because they're the ones that are instigating a lot of and Britain, too. And a lot of people will say Britain is the is one of the main instigators. But they're hand in hand. >> They they're not just hand in hand.

They're hand and glove. I like that term. Um there's a lot of talk about how Trump has managed to take control and and for shipping uh insurance. It's very expensive. It's gone up I don't know like three fourfold maybe more. >> Um and and there's a US depository something insurance uh that has taken over what Lloyds did and I wonder is that a US government affiliation? I I don't know. when you >> actually he came out and said that he's going to help provide almost stabilize

the insurance for the shipping routes and use the military to ensure that they don't get bombed. So there you go. >> That okay that just sounds so dandy. So you're going to have a like like two destroyers escort an oil tanker? >> Yeah. >> I mean Huh. Is that safety or is that tripling the targets? Okay, these are missiles we're talking about. Um, oh, I tell you, I I just don't have a good feeling for the next two weeks. U, these guys remind me of the Civil War architects from 160 years

ago. They said, "Well, this Civil War will be quick. It'll be over in three weeks, maybe two months." Yeah, right. Okay. War is ugly. War is messy. War is deadly. And it is in service to Satan. >> Yeah. >> It's very difficult to close the door on war because you end up getting retaliatory measures that weren't anticipated and you get like dominoes that that happen. You get damage that is, you know, I think they're going to bring the war to American soil. Um,

and you know, in Dallas, not Dallas, what was it? In Austin, was it? Yeah. um a fellow with a with an Iran labeled shirt. >> No, no, no. It said property of Allah and the media sitting here running around saying, "Oh, we can't figure out if he has any ties to Islam or anything like that." It says property of Allah on there, idiots. What the >> h? Yeah. Allah is that's Arab, which is closely overlapped with Islam, but it's not Islam. Allah is Arab for God. >> Yeah, I know

>> that that's like saying English they mention God and that's got to be Christian. That doesn't work. Sorry, it doesn't work. No. >> Um but I thought that that the guy had Iranian connections and it was pretty plain. Um they're going to bring this war to the United States. I don't know how. I think it's going to be to go to war with you bastards. It don't matter. We are armed to the teeth. you know, uh, you want to start a war, uh, you're going to be careful what you wish for.

>> I don't wish for a war. Uh, I wish that the Iranian people can run the mullers out of town and reveal that they've got Swiss accounts in the billions and have been skimming off the oil and gas sales for the last 40 years, >> 45 years. Just like Cuba. Just like Cuba, Cuba's got probably 8 to10 billion dollars in Swiss banks, much smaller. 8 to 8 to 10 billion. That's what they got every month from Iran. The Mullers are stealing that country blind. And the people are sick of the Mullas. They're

celebrating their their removal and their deaths. But there's something really important that Americans need to understand about Iran, and that is the people are not wellarmed. Uh I read that it was about a month ago or three weeks ago, four weeks ago that there were in like a dozen different cities, not necessarily Thrron. Thrron's one city number. Um this is ugly and the people are not armed. So Trump wants the people to do an uprising, but they can't because they're not armed.

Uh the people are celebrating the damage done to the mullas but they can't finish the job. So United States wants the Kurds to come in from Iraq. And I let ME JUST SAY THAT and then leave it alone. Okay? [clears throat] I this IS THIS IS NOT going to close up in tidy bows in two to three weeks. Not going to happen. Um th that's the plan. and and I I talked with a military source and he said, "THAT'S THE PLAN, JIM. YOU WATCH. It's just air and naval. There's no ground troops and that's easier to

stop." And I thought, "Well, IT'S EASY TO STOP, BUT IT'S NOT EASY TO STOP THE retaliatory moves." I mean, what if they hit a a group of ships in the Mediterranean? >> It's called blowback. >> The blowback. Gosh, we've seen blowback now in the Red Sea south of the the uh the Suez Canal. Oh my gosh, we've seen blowback from from Gaza. Okay, what if they hit American naval vessels in the Mediterranean? What if they hit them outside of Gibralar? Okay, WE'RE ALL

OVER THE PLACE. I mean, we're like the British Empire except with a US flag and a much bigger military now. Okay, this is not going to end in tidy bows. Okay, I I'm studying this. I I don't like to research war, but what I'm noticing is that we've depleted our arsenal. We're now on emergency measures to replenish. And Trump is being TOLD WE CAN REPLENISH, but it'll take two to three years. >> Okay, this is not going to work out well. >> Right. >> Okay. When we're depleted, we're going

to get retaliatory strikes. we're going to get hurt in areas where we're vulnerable and I don't know exactly what that is. Okay. In the meantime, we've got Venezuela and that is not working out well in Caracus. That's another story. I just want to say that briefly that we've not cleaned up much of anything. The narcotics is still continuing in Caracus. We just got a woman in charge INSTEAD OF MADURO. But Maduro provided us evidence regarding election fraud and machinery. Maduro

provided us information about uh narcotics. And with the Maduro removal, we've cut off Cuba and their oil supply. They got about two months. Two oh gosh, I don't know whether it's two weeks or two months. I can't remember. >> Two weeks. They were saying weeks. Two weeks. And And that that is not just oil supply for cars and taxis. It's oil supply for tractors in the farms. Um it it's oil supply for the electricity plants. Okay. In other words, Trump is trying to do a regime change. We're

running low on time. We probably got about 10 minutes uh 9 minutes. Um we're looking for a regime change in Cuba. I'm all over it. I believe it's going to happen. The Russians have been asked to cooperate with this. The the Russians were involved in Venezuela running their oil industry. They backed out. The Russians were involved in the silver mining industry. They left and took all the inventory, a lot of the inventory from the mining companies. They took it all on airplanes. A lot of airplanes headed to

Russia. Um, a lot of people in the United States don't understand this, but Cuba in the last few years has been a uh a big narcotics moneyaundering center to earn big time in income. Uh, usually it's 10 to 15% of the flow. Um, how many Americans know that Cuba is involved in narcotics moneyaundering? How many? 1% not even. Okay. Um, we want regime change and the people of Okay, I got this straight from um from Cuban sources in the press, our press. They want labor unions. They want free elections with multiple

parties. And they want the right to vote and the right to demonstrate and the right for free speech. More rights. Um Trump wants to open up the economy, uh bring about more capitalism, uh more development, which would bring down the prices and increase the supply. And and I want to point something out, and I mentioned this in in the newsletter for for February. Uh my brother was involved in 1998, 1999. He spent an entire summer in the hotel Copa Cabana. Uh and he met a German guy and he met an Italian guy.

They're each involved in the hotel construction business. They're involved in Veradero and they're involved in Havana in building hotels. And here's how it works. Whe whether you get a onebedroom or a two-bedroom uh hotel room, it costs like 140, 120, 170 a night. The following workers make a dollar per day. M >> the receptionist at the hotel, the valet parking at the hotel, the cook at the hotel, the cleaning lady at the hotel, the laundry service at the hotel, the the uh elevator operator at the hotel,

the u the the waiters in the restaurant at the hotel, the chefs IN THE HOTEL, $1 per day, $30 per month. My brother met a few people. He met one woman. He helped her a little bit with with cash because she had a baby and she said, "I can't feed my baby." My brother gave him a $20 bill and he was he was elevated to sthood. [clears throat] Okay. Trump wants Cuba to be overturned. And I I learned something last week. I I thought Raul was still in charge. But in 2021, Raul gave up. I think it was 20

oh was it 2005 or so Fidel died. Raul Castro took over and in 2021 a non-Castro for the first time took control of uh you know what do they call it uh the uh the president of the communist party the the chairman the chairman of the communist party of Cuba. Wow. What a wonderful post that is. Okay. They still got communism. They [clears throat] call it you know they call it democracy and uh that's where the Democrat party is heading in the United States. Communist. >> They already are communist. I call all

Democrats communist. >> I know less than seven minutes. So, we got a countdown. >> Well, I I want to promote my own website, Scott. I >> Yeah, we go ahead. >> It's goldenjackass.com. Um, next month I will celebrate my 22 anniversary. 22. Uh, this has been a long, long road. I started it when I was 52 years old. And um I'm older now. Um and I'm wiser. I don't exactly have less hair. Um but it's turned more blonde in case you haven't noticed. [clears throat] Um my chest hair turned

blonde. Um I I have consult calls since I moved to this southeast state. I've done I think I've done about 10 consult calls. nine or 10. Uh, this is the second interview I've done. The first one where I show my face and and have the background. I'm going to have a a very interesting background uh display pretty soon. Um, okay. The newsletter is the stock and trade. I encourage people to sign up for the newsletter, support my work. I put a lot of time into it. Uh, I've done 263

monthly reports without missing a single one. And people need to understand that the bulk email is a very difficult thing to bring about anymore. Uh the 2022 anti- uh anti-PAM. Welcome to Gold Silver News, your go to destination for all things economics and finance. Whether you're an experienced investor, an inquisitive student, or just someone who wants to stay ahead in today's everchanging economic landscape, you've come to the right place. I've been working on a private road map for

viewers who are more focused on protecting their wealth than speculating in uncertain markets. I'll share it at the end for those interested. Now, we'll show you the best clips of the latest interview. But first, smash the subscribe button, hit the like button, and send us super thanks if you find our daily recaps valuable. Enjoy the episode. Dear listeners, I was able to upload a portion of this interview which lasted approximately 2 hours and 6 minutes due to YouTube rules. You can watch it in its entirety from the link

in the description. Now, some brief information about Jim Willie will be given. Dr. Jim Willie is an analyst recognized in international finance and economic circles for his distinctive viewpoints. Commonly known simply as Dr. Jim Willie, he is often said to hold a doctorate in an economic related field. Though precise details about his academic record are not widely documented. He is best known for his work shared through his website Golden Jackass as well as various online interviews and podcasts. His main areas

of focus include fluctuations in the financial markets, central bank policies, currency trends, and particularly the future of gold and silver. A defining trait of Dr. Willy's commentary is his emphasis on precious metals, gold and silver, as critical pillars of the global monetary system. He argues that modern fiat currencies, especially the US dollar, suffer from structural problems stemming from central bank policies and the complex nature of international finance. As a result, he foresees a scenario in which

the dollar weakens while gold and silver strengthen. Dr. Willie is considered by many to be an unconventional financial commentator. His analyses often diverge from mainstream economic narratives, occasionally integrating views that some label as conspiracy theories. Yet, this alternative perspective has resonated with a community of followers who value his exploration of issues they believe are overlooked by mainstream media and big financial institutions. Two, the Golden Jackass platform and content

structure. Dr. Willie disseminates most of his research and opinions via his personal website, Golden Jackass. The unusual name is meant to highlight his unfiltered approach. He describes himself as presenting blunt truths without fear of reprisal. Many of the articles and reports he publishes on this site revolve around major geopolitical and macroeconomic developments. Typical topics on golden jackass include gold and silver market analyses. Willie is known for predicting significant spikes in gold and silver

prices. He argues that continuous monetary expansion by central banks will ultimately raise the value of precious metals while eroding confidence in fiat currencies. Critiques of the global dollar system. Willie believes the US dollar status as the dominant reserve currency will eventually weaken. He often cites the efforts of countries like China and Russia in developing alternative payment systems and goldbacked arrangements. Warnings of financial crisis. Willie frequently points to risks that he says mainstream

economists ignore, such as the overextension of credit, large-scale derivatives, and the excessive liquidity central banks have provided since past economic downturns. Geopolitical events and their economic effects. His analysis goes beyond pure economics to examine how geopolitics impacts commodity prices, trade flows, and especially the dollar standing in international markets. Some content on Golden Jackass is available only to subscribers. This paid model supports his independent research, which he claims allows him to

investigate topics not widely covered by mainstream financial analysts. Three, economic analysis philosophy and methods. Dr. Jim Willy's approach to economic commentary blends macroeconomic data with monetary and geopolitical factors, resulting in what many consider a heterodox style. Key aspects of his method include historical cycle analysis. He frequently references major financial crises such as the 1929 Great Depression and the 1971 end of the gold standard to draw parallels with current

policy missteps. He views economic cycles as influenced by political and social factors, not just by raw data, debt, and credit examination. Modern finance, according to Willie, is excessively reliant on debt. He emphasizes growing global debt levels and warns that they are unsustainable. Central bank balance sheets and leverage banking practices are frequent targets of his critiques. Comparative currency analysis. Willie tracks how key currencies, the US dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan, and the Russian ruble

compete against each other. He underscores the role of gold reserves and potential gold backing as crucial in these contests. Geopolitical context. Willie treats diplomacy, strategic alliances, and military advantages as integral to economic outcomes. He sees global finance and politics as intertwined, asserting that a policy shift in one arena reverberates throughout the other. Reliance on alternative information sources. Willie occasionally cites unverified or non- mainstream information, claiming that

official data and media may conceal the full story. Critics argue that this tendency can lead to the spread of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. Four, main core perspective, transformation of the monetary system. One of Dr. Willy's central thesis is that the global monetary system is undergoing a profound realignment. He believes that the post Bretonwoods world order in which the US dollar has enjoyed near hegemonic status, is coming to an end or is on the brink of doing so. As central banks keep expanding their

monetary bases, he expects rising inflation to push individuals and institutions toward tangible assets like precious metals. At the heart of this view is the idea of the coming end of the dollar or the demise of the petro dollar system. According to Willie, the following trends are evidence of this shift. Countries increasing gold reserves. Emerging markets including China, Russia, and Turkey have been accumulating gold potentially to establish alternative payment frameworks involving gold. Petroleum trade in

currencies other than the dollar. Willie cites China's moves to pay for oil in yuan as a direct challenge to the dollar's monopoly in global energy markets. Alternative payment systems, new networks to replace or supplement Swift, such as China CIP, could undermine the dollar's role in global trade and lessen its power as a vehicle of economic sanctions. Willie portrays these developments as gradual, with many going under reportported. The eventual result, in his view, would be a breakdown of the dollarcentric system

that would profoundly disrupt financial institutions and national economies while boosting the position of gold, silver, and other real assets. Five, the role of precious metals, gold, and silver forecasts. Dr. Willie is particularly noted for his commentary on gold and silver. He argues that these metals have served as money throughout history and assume the role of safe havens in times of crisis. While central banks can expand the money supply almost limitlessly, physical supplies of gold and silver remain finite, favoring these

metals in the long run. He often alleges that gold and silver prices are manipulated or suppressed. According to this viewpoint, major banks use large volumes of paper gold futures contracts derivatives to depress spot prices as letting gold prices rise organically would highlight fiat currency's weaknesses. Willie also applies this argument to silver, contending that silver is likewise undervalued but manipulated. Nevertheless, Willie believes that such price manipulation cannot persist indefinitely. A surge in

physical demand, he argues, will sooner or later expose discrepancies in the paper market, leading to a dramatic revaluation of both gold and silver. In such a scenario, gold could rise well into the thousands of dollars per ounce, while silver might break into tripledigit territory, an outcome that could shake the entire global financial system. Six, the US economy and Federal Reserve criticisms. Given that Dr. Jim Willie is primarily based in the United States. He frequently critiques the Federal Reserve Fed. He contends that

the Fed's policies of quantitative easing and prolonged low interest rates have masked deeper problems while magnifying systemic risks. In his view, these policies only offer temporary fixes without addressing underlying debt and leverage issues. His key points of contention include unback money creation. Willie argues that the Fed's expansionary practices are disconnected from real economic productivity. Over time, such policies lead to higher inflation, even if official statistics do not fully capture it. Banking system
