And and that's a good thing. I remember a movie long time ago with Charlton H and Brian Keith and said, "A day above ground is a good day." >> Yeah, it is. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. I learned that a long time ago. No question about it. Um let's jump right in and no one better to answer these kind of questions. I'm just going to throw you a generic very um wide openen take it however you want to go, but let's start on the on the global stage. Jim, in a geopolitical fourth


turning sort of way, where are we? Where are we in in in in the scheme of things right now? >> I'm not really clear about the fourth turning. I I am clear about um a reset. I am clear about the golden. >> 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. Now,


we'll show you the best scenes 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. We'll be the foot soldiers, and this will take about 5 years. I said, "Okay, so like 2019, we're going to get some big changes that'll be positive for the White Hats." We didn't call them White Hats, though. We just called, we didn't even call them the Patriots back


then. We called them the the Gold Bugs, I think. Um, and the PE the the Fair Money, the uh the Austrian School of Economics, uh, followers. Um, what was his name? Oh gosh, I can't think of the Oh, I can't think of the leader of the Austrian School of Economics. Vani Van >> Noodle Van Misus. >> Vanis. Yes. Yes. Okay. I actually met his um his daughter in Germany. And I didn't I didn't know who she was. Um later I was told who she was, but anyway, we we're defeating I I think


we've actually won the war. Andy, I know this is a very strange thing to say. I think we've won the war and now we're we're trying to set up the structure uh for you call it the fourth turning. I call it golden era, QFS era, whatever you want. Um we're trying to set up the structure and avoid the booby traps, avoid the debt man switches, avoid the um you know remember it was two years ago we we heard about the threat of the Marberg which was smallox and Ebola. Okay, it didn't happen. Okay, two years


ago, we we kept hearing about, well, we're going to get some nuclear events out of uh out of Kiev and Ukraine and maybe Poland, false flag. Didn't happen. Okay, they didn't happen because we won. And I know that's hard to swallow, hard to accept, but I swallow it and I accept it. And I got to tell you that I've got I've got seven, no, I got six starred items here. [laughter] Little notes. I don't usually have a lot of notes, but I wanted to be prepared for you, Andy. I didn't I I gotta tell


you, you you've been um kind of a mentor in an informal way for the last couple of years. Um I I I'd see a video from somebody and I' I'd watch 10 minutes of it. Okay, I got the bulk of that. Uh and then somebody else I do the same. And then I'd get a couple videos from you and I watch the whole damn 40 minutes because I I learn stuff. Um, and I I put it in the newsletter and it adds value to the newsletter. But I want to try to I I've been trying now in the last day or two to come up with a few items where


I can say I'm going to add value to your table. And and here goes. Um, I'll give a preface. It was about five months ago. A client of mine said, "Jim, I've got a uh middle to high ranked military." Now, he did not say how it was going to be used. He didn't say it was going to cover Treasury bonds. Another thing he said in the related in the related item is that Trump is going to saddle the cabal with the $34 trillion in debt. It's not going to be loaded on the US households. It's


not going to be draining gold. Uh that like is an extension of Fort Knox which got recovered. So Trump has got well over 10 maybe 20 times more than Fort Knox. That's just one item. Um another military drop. This is a while back. Russia hid 120,000 tons of gold during the entire Soviet era. and they hid it in the Orthodox church behind false walls and double double basements. 120,000 tons of gold. So, the Russians are ready. Chinese, they're battling with the uh the elder, the Asian elder families, and I'd rather


not get caught up in that. [clears throat] He said that the White Alliance with Trump is in command of the next generation high-tech tools, devices, and uh I I could blow you away with with a couple things, but it I'll just do one because it's a little funny. Here's one, and this came from the same guy last July. He said, "Jim, I got some news for you." This is through through the contact. Got some news for you. Trump won Trump won next November. Now just just you know put those tenses


together. Okay. Trump won next November. Um so when clients ask me in July, August, September, and October, I said Trump won. He he already won. So don't don't worry about it. He won in November. What what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what wh what what what what? Okay. It's um it's a headscratcher and it's a time travel bit of evidence from numerous numerous. Okay, here here's one that's very recent. Um we've been told that there were 750 plane loads from the


Vatican. Now it was a lot more than that. They got 40,000 tons out of the Vatican and they're still pulling the gold out. There's an unspeakable amount of gold in the Vatican. And I I think it's connected to those, you know, the tunnel Istanbul Jerusalem. Okay, that it's very murky that story, but you know, you keep hearing 100 miles of chest high gold. I mean, it it's it's unfathomable. It's like a million tons. Um, and let me get let me finish this little saliloqu I know. I get I get carried


away, Andy. Uh I can't avoid that. and he said, 'I don't know, but that very likely. I'll try to find out. Okay, Andy, there's a lot going on and and a lot of it has to do with with gold. Um, some of it has to do with uh the big banks and how they're realigning. I honestly think that London got drained and the big US banks are loading up and you probably have a lot more information on that. Looks like it with the nod. Um, they're loading up for the uh the gold foundation. And I got to say something


else. 18 months ago, I had a consult call and and these have been extremely valuable, Andy. I've done I've done about 830 now in five plus years and and they're boots on the ground. One and 10 is very valuable. The other nine are they're just good people, a lot of questions and they're trying to learn. But this guy said, "Jim, I was involved with some accounting and every single big bank is loaded with gold, ready for the next chapter." every single big bank. I said, "Beyond Wall Street and


and the big five." And he said, "Oh, yeah, but they don't have as much. The big five have enormous amounts of gold. They're not going to go under for lack of gold." And he said, "Don't mention this. Don't mention that. Don't mention this because they'll probably figure out who I was and do me harm or cut me out of contracts." So [clears throat] Andy, there's a lot going on and and gold is the future. Um, and I'm excited by it all, but at the same time, I'm


worried about something that I call the question of the seamless transition. What'll happen to credit cards? Will they all go away and be replaced by new ones and every newsletter payment system goes to zero suddenly? Uh uh will will credit for distribution like in retail organizations functions will it go to zero and have to start over again and we got three weeks of big fat nothing everywhere in the economy. Okay, there are a lot of questions and Trump via Q has mentioned many times in the last two


or three years we're going to have it as seamless transition as possible. QFS is going to be a uh mirrored shadow system. Um and and we're just going to walk it along and suddenly flip it, flip the switch and and we're running without any great interruption, which means seamless. And I I just can't get a whole lot of confirmation on that. And therefore, I can't be real confident. And I'm I'm worried like like many people are. But you know, here's one argument that you hear over and over


again. Well, you know, Jim, if your business gets wrecked from payment system, then so do another 150,000 or 200,000 businesses get wrecked. So, look for the seamless transition. That's what I'm hoping for, Andy, but I I don't know. What are you hearing about seamless? >> Yeah. Well, I think I think seamless will be very difficult in any in any transition. Um the question is uh is it one that is is is it one that is a coordinated shift towards a new gold back framework or is it something are


they are the central banks who have been accumulating so much as you're alluding to are they hedging against some agency major currency event that that I don't know one of the questions I was going to ask you it's interesting was that you've talked a lot about the accidental death I think you call it of of the bullion bank triggered by triggering a systemic domino effect. Do you see that happening with Bank of America or with a bank? Um, and what who are the players that are most


exposed beyond the banks? I mean, how far down the chain does this go systemically? >> I think maybe a a quarter of the S&P 500 companies. I I didn't mention something that also came out in the Intel drop. I'll just I'll just say it um because it's so important. I can't I can't really say, well, I'm going to save that for the May newsletter in three weeks and no, it's just too important. uh a quarter of the S&P 500 companies are at risk and and my military guy said it's a


combination of criminal finance and insolveny. So, okay, it's not just big banks. So, it's going to be like big corporation, multinational corporation. They're in trouble. And I said, how are they going to resolve that? And he said, well, you know, hold on to your hat. because he was told by the military ranking guide, he said, "Jim, I'm I'm talking to majors and colonels and they're in meetings with generals and they've got permission to talk to me." And I said, "This is


great. Tell me all you can." He said, "There might be a quarter. It's at most a quarter of the S&P companies, S&P 500." So, you know, do your napkin math. You get 125 corporations. That's for the people who are math challenged out there. and there are a lot of them out there and it's really quite disgusting. Um he said they're going to be assigned new CEOs and boards. I said that's devestature. He said sounds like it. I I don't know what else it would be Jim.


And I said I don't either if they're going to be assigned a new board of directors and CEO. So, okay, you asked and the focus is really on the banks and and I have a really important point that I'd like to make and we've got to learn from history. I I know it sounds like so long ago, but for me it wasn't. It was the layman crisis. It was 2008 and I gave a oneyear warning, Andy, one year in advance. I said layman's going to fall. The the credit default swap is zooming up. It's it's almost 1% normal


is 15 basis points. Okay. The lesson I learned and that was 17 years ago was Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan had each more than double the exposure of layman in mortgage finance. You know just just cockeyed crappy quality credit default. What do credit what do you call it? credit obligations. CDOS's credit I can't remember the they just make up names and make Oh, this is very very sophisticated. Yeah, CDOS's credit something obligations. Um and it was loaded with trash. It was like, you


know, class B uh debt and and they called it AAA and and no one really checked. Okay, here's the lesson learned. Goldman Sachs and and JP Morgan had more than double the exposure of layman. So they decided to kill layman. It was odd man out. They're always looking for odd man out. And in ' 03, Bear Sterns was odd man out. They were long gold, short dollar. They had to be killed. It took a long time to to resolve, not dissolve, resolve their book of long gold. They had Oh my gosh. Okay. So, and that was previewed a


couple months in advance, but not by me. I That was a learning process for me. And from that, oh my gosh, what's next? and it was layman and I had some good tips from from clients uh I know colleagues colleagues on the credit default swap here's how it applies to now um Bank of America is involved you know I I got to say something I'm not going to be talking about child related crimes anymore um I've had my life very close to totally destroyed from dark occult forces and if you don't buy it I don't


care if you don't buy the argument It means you don't know about it. Um, I will talk about money laundering because it's finance. My theory is this Andy Bank JP Morgan, City Bank, Goldman Sachs, the other they don't. And I believe I I I have a a different source. It's a very different type. I don't want to describe it, but the person said [snorts] Wellselle Fargo has resolved its problems at the board level and that was done over a year ago. So, I don't expect Wells Fargo is going to get picked on.


It may be more than Bank of America, Andy. I really don't know. uh we might see some smudge smear on JP Morgan because as we know they've got $240 billion in criminal penalties and fines for their criminal actions with fraud and that's a cost of doing business. It's it's really disgusting. >> Let me ask you a question, Jim. Um, if if we really are heading in this direction, I guess you could even call it a global reset, who's who do you think is writing the rules behind the scenes? And and what


kind of system do you believe that they're trying to build maybe on the ashes of this current one? >> Oh boy. [clears throat] I've wondered that for quite a while and I've got some guesses. I can only speculate. My sources don't know. And when I ask a question like to the military source, who's running this who's running this show? Uh who's who's making the top level decisions? Um I I'm told that it's like a group of 10. And some people call it Q. Some people call


it Q. And and you know, I don't really completely buy into Q. I I do partially. I I I do tentatively. I do with some reservation. But there's a group, Andy, and I we can't put a face on it. And I asked a very interesting question, I thought about six or eight months ago to some of these sources, and I said, could the rule, you call it rules, I I call it policy. Could could the highlevel policy for the the new era call it the the digital golden era of finance with the with the blockchain ledger?


Could its rules and policies be written by supercomputers? And um we got some interesting discussions, but you know, nothing is resolved. And you know, if I'm the one asking the question and they don't know a whole lot more than I do, then they're just guessing and they're not really adding to my knowledge base. You know what I mean? I don't mean to be arrogant in any way, but there are a couple other people who I do benefit from their knowledge base regarding that sort of thing. Supercomputers. Oh, I've got one


one guy who who has some military research background and I I haven't been in touch with him, but he he he went off to Panama with the sovereign what do you call it? Sovereign investor. Can't think of his name. Black. Black. Um he said Jim Black is really cool. Really cool guy. Um but he knew about supercomputer simulation. >> Simon Black. >> Simon Black. Yes. Yes. >> He is very good. He's very good. and and I'm not I'm not a student of his so I I didn't benefit from that but one of my


clients was and he's in New Jersey and he really smart guy and oh boy he helped me a number of ways but I I think he might have retired from his business and he he said I'm just I'm I'm exhausted from all this criminality he he knew he knew somebody in the harp okay that that's where he added to my knowledge base in a 2010 visit for a couple of days we just talked for hours. He said, "Jim, I got nothing to do till tomorrow night." So, we sat by the pool, had virgin pina coladas. I don't know what


he had, but I have a virgin. I don't trick. By the way, I had my 38th anniversary of drug rehab. [laughter] >> Congratulations. Happy anniversary. >> Okay. What he said was when he was in military research and he did it for about he said six or eight years. He had one friend. He said, ' Jim, I had to get some distance from the guy because I realized that he was a psychopath. I said, ' Were there many in military research?' He said, 'More than, you know.' I said, well, no, no. I I know


that there's quite a lot. He said, well, more than most people think. I said, okay, what about this guy? He said, well, he transferred out of my group to go to HARP, and I maintained the friendship even though I didn't like him. Even though I thought he was a psycho, I maintained the friendship so I could maintain an information line about what's going on with Harp. He said, "Harp is real and and they are he's your psychotic personality and that's why my client made distance and I haven't talked to


him in in a few years." Okay. I I get a lot of unusual information, but I to answer your question again in summary form. I think there's some highle generals uh who might be kind of smart in business and you know make make some business rules. Um I think there's quite a lot of white hat military white hat military involved in digital finance and they need to lay off Reggie Middleton and give him restitution for God's sake. This is absurd what they're doing. But I also think that there's a lot of


simulation going on. Supercomputer simulation. And what I've heard mostly about the supercomputer simulation is it's for warfare. We have a war with with China and and disease and things like that. All the Malthusian factors and it destroys the planet. Then you get that 2012 issue. All the different time machines, they stopped at 2012. Everything stopped at 2012. So they had a global conference and a meeting of the minds. And I think a lot of good people put their heads together. So you know,


and they changed the course of human history in order to get past 2012. And there was a movie about 2012 and it was well done. kind of weird, but I I really like the scene where they blew up the Yellowstone [laughter] when Yellowstone. It's the biggest caldera on the planet. It's like 80 miles in diameter. It blew up with what's his name? Woody Harelson. I'm a movie buff. I'm a sports buff. And um I like them both. And without them, I'd go absolutely insane. >> Yeah. I I can't imagine life without


sports. Uh defined my life. I think about that quite often. I don't think I'll ever grow up from that respect. Let me ask you a question while we're talking about military. I've noticed there are very few people, you're one of them, that has said things similar to what I've been saying about the military's role in suppressing silver. You've talked about it. Um, what do you think their incentive is? I think it's fairly obvious, but >> do you think that suppression is


starting to fall apart? >> Um, yeah, starting to fall apart. Um, I think it's not just the US military, it's the Chinese military. Um, the the Russians, you know, have you seen a map of of global silver production? I'm sure you have. Russia's down the list. And Mexico is more than twice of all Latin America combined. Okay. It's amazing. I'm concerned about a silver cartel being formed, but my military guys don't really talk about their motive to corner the silver market. Uh they do make


mention that there's a lot of silver being destroyed with a cruise missile, something like 17 kg. Um I can't prove that number, but I keep hearing that number. Um, and that doesn't validate the number. It only makes people more curious. Well, damn it. Where's the proof? Um, when I talk with my colleagues, Andy, not military sources. I I have very infrequent conversations and intel drops with the military guys. They're they're once every two, three, four weeks. And I I I just drop


everything. I I I won't even watch my Boston Celtics, you know what I mean? I'll just say, "Okay, well, what's going on? What's going on?" They say, "Well, I only got 10 minutes." They say, "Okay, that's good. What What do you got?" What I hear is that the military really needs silver. And and their opinion stated meshes, it juxtaposes well with some of my best intel from colleagues. Silver is going to become a national security medal. and Mexican policy has verified


confirmed that to a very strong extent. I I heard that Russia, China are inviting Mexico to create a silver cartel. Mexico will be in charge of keeping all of Latin America, the in the Andian region, you know, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, and there's one more. Ecuador, um >> Peru. >> Peru. Yes. I always forget one. It's hard to get them all, but Argentina's in there. But Mexico would be like the dog master. Okay. We got we got these four dogs on a leash or five county Argentina. And and if they make silver a


national security item, metal, then all this talk about rare earth metals, it it's going to be overshadowed by a factor of 10. You know, it's interesting to your point, Jim. China is number two largest producer in the world behind Mexico. Number three is Peru. China has been going to Peru according to Sean Kungun, the head of Dolly Varden. I've talked with him about this publicly and others who have said that China is openly going to the miners in Peru, disintermediating the market, buying the


Dory and the concentrate and sending it back. They've built a deep water port there. You put it together and what you're saying makes great sense. Mexico, China, Peru, number one, two, and three. Um, >> it makes and we're at war with Mexico right now. >> Back back to silver. It's a national security metal and and [clears throat] China got their mitts in the boardroom at JP Morgan. What was it around 2015 or so? They bought Chase Plaza. Chase One Plaza. I can't remember the right name, but Chason


Plaza was in the name. And and they got it for a song, Andy. They they bought this huge building and complex, and they bought it for I think it was something like like 300 million. And I put the word out. What do you think the value is? And I got estimates between, you know, 900 million and 1.6 billion. And okay, what what's the story? And Rob Kirby put it together. Rob Kirby put it together. He said China had a super mortgage on US income tax, a super mortgage, and it was to guarantee a gold lease in 1999 and then it


extended in 2005. And because of the recession, there was, you know, it's permanent. We're in a permanent recession. We're in a depression right now. If people don't get that, they're just dead asleep. Um, we reiged on defaulted on the super mortgage and it entitled China to buy JP Morgan's building for the existing loan. That's that was the discount. They bought it at the existing loan on on a collateralized loan for a and I don't think JP Morgan has ever exited that role of being Um, oh,


I see you got baseball. I got I got to show you something, Andy. I just noticed your baseballs. It was 1973. No, no, 1974. 1974. I went to a Pittsburgh Pirate game and it was a week night and I was on the first base side and there was a foul ball by a guy named Pachure. Many people don't remember him. Pachure of the Dodgers. And these two kids fought over the ball and they dropped it and the jackass picked it up. >> Yeah. I uh you can see my uh my baseball cards. Those are all from the turn of


the century and >> early the Yankees. >> I got every Mickey Mantel up on top. Every one of them. Um Mickey Mantel was my favorite. >> He was a he was a treasure. Uh I never saw him live, but I saw Clemente 200 times. >> I love it. Well, I got Clement's rookie card right there. 1955. >> I um baseball has defined my life and baseball cards were were one way for me to relive my childhood. Started doing that way back when. Uh I would put in our newsletter, if you own baseball


cards, send them in and I'll trade you gold and silver for them. So I would get boxes up to my ceiling um from people your father or grandfather's age and had built all the you know I became power seller on eBay >> years of these like tobacco cards are from the early 1900s 1906 78 n >> oh you got >> and then I have all of the tops and Bowman from the early 50s through the mid60s and then I have the you know the token Wayne Gretzky rookie Michael Jordan rookie Joe Name.


>> Yeah, I had Topps Tops baseball. >> The the one Tops card that is the This is a picture of it. It's way up top there, so it's hard for you to see it, but this is a picture. This is the one card. That's the the Crown Jewel, the 1952 Mickey Mantel. >> They're they're amazing cards, and I get more enjoyment out of my baseball cards than than anything else. And and I know that you're a big college sports buff as well. Oh, >> Ohio State Buckeyes. They won the


national championship. Um, now they got to they got to have a a new draft. A new draft, Andy. The Portal. It's a draft. [clears throat] Anyway, it's a lot of fun. >> Yeah, the portal. Crazy. It is. I have some friends whose kids are college athletes. And not only that, they get paid a lot of money now. So, the whole thing is is >> NIL NIL name, image, likeness. Well, there's something to that. You know, the kids playing video games and and you're playing a video game with a college star


on it and everyone's making money but the kid. >> I get it. But, you know, the whole thing has become it's become a a big business. Maybe even more. >> I'd like to have an an NIL of the the Golden Jackass. I'd like to make some money on that. I mean, I'm not joking around. I'd like to make some money on that. >> Well, you know, I'm sure you probably could. You know nowadays uh you just make yourself what do they call NFT and >> I'm supposed to you got to cartoonize


the face and make and make it recognizable. I I have a friend and her cousin did that with her husband her and two kids and I said I can recognize that it's a cartoon but I I recognize you anyway it's very well done. Uh back back to silver. I'm I'm very worried about Mexico. Uh Andy, and let me just make a a very unusual comment. I hope Trump creates a trade union with Canada and Mexico because it would enable our country to benefit from the gigantic silver resources of Mexico and


the gigantic diverse resources of Canada. And I had a consult call yesterday from a guy in Alberta and he said, "Yeah, you're right, Jim. Alberta's oil and gas. Saskatchewan and British Columbia are metals. Not just gold, but copper and zinc and all kinds of metals." I said, "Okay. All right." And now you got a rift between the Canadian government, federal government, central government, and bankers. Screw the screw the west and control the rest. That's what they that's one of their


motto that it's disgusting. They're going to fall apart. But um anyway, he did say that that the the western provinces are when they don't if you go beyond the tar sands of I just saw a map and in Alberta it's all through like 400 miles of oil and gas and a lot of gas. Um I actually [clears throat] know somebody I'll never recover from that. >> That sounds like something that'd be tough to recover from. Well, speaking of oil, you know, you you you've been someone who's who's uh covered and


spoken of the bricks and with Saudi Arabia and the UAE leaning much closer to the bricks UAE actually being a full member. Um do you think this is the final chapter of the petro dollar? Um and are we watching its its slow and painful death in real time? I heard the petro dollar from all my not just sources as colleagues. I got seven really smart guys and they're not just from the United States. Um and they included Rob Kirby, but Rob Kirby was removed uh by Cabal forces using Rem Desave. Um


what I'm what I'm hearing that is that it was about two years ago the petro dollar was um informally buried informally. Two years ago 2022 late 2022 the the Saudis and um I'm not really sure. I think Wall Street and the Saudis decided that that this is not really relevant anymore. This is not powerful anymore. the real game is with the dollar and the treasury bonds and gold and um that's when they started dissolving and and liquidating the petro dollar derivatives which are from my


understanding like less than a quarter of the volume of the other derivatives. And here's something not well known. It's the do the petro dollar derivative contract. It's the dollar and it's oil obviously but there's a third leg. It's gold and silver together with a 30 to1 ratio and that is getting busted and I don't know how the petro dollar liquidation is going to get resolved and and you know one of my co my colleagues said it's going to force it to 30 to1 and I said we're going in the other


direction and he said it could mean that that the petro dollar is already liquidated don't know we we don't get news items on these things we're not high enough paygrade But regarding oil, I think we're really on the edge of the introduction by not just UAE. UAE's they're they're the innovator that's going to whatever UAE does, Saudi going to follow. They're they're they're brothers and cousins and my gosh, they got such enormous flat family trees. [laughter]


They got 20 half brothers. Oh my gosh. Okay. But my point is that UAE is going to UAE has already uh done unique contracts for European oil sales, oil and gas. Uh they're going to get XRP in there. That's that's what uh uh an Arab consult client said. And he's just a consult client. He's just a guy. He's in a business. is not running the show, but he said, "Jim, there that's the talk." Okay. XRP is all through utilities, water, electricity, um what's what's another one? Water,


electricity, and uh gas. Um they have XRP payment, and it says right at the bottom, you got your receipt, uh satisfied by XRP transaction, blah blah blah. and and and UAE had a big contract um and and they they're using third-party payment systems. They've already broken ground on third party payments. So, I think what we're going to see real soon is like a contract between UAE and France where 20% of the payments are in XRP. It's just a matter of time. I I believe I believe that we're going


to see bricks advance XRP in crossber trade payment before the United States and and it's going to cause some unusual problems for the US banks because they're trying to accumulate XRP using a a securities exchange commission shield that's not all that well hidden. It's a it's a joke. Um, okay. Regarding oil, it's eventually going to break away from the rocker Rockefeller control and and a very interesting phenomenon is happening. Andy, you're probably all over this too. Um, the dollar is going


to become an accounting unit rather than a trade payment unit. an accounting unit like like well what what's the market for iron, cotton, uh gold, soybean, uh oil, gas? What's the market? What's the price? It's going to be priced in dollars and settled outside the dollar. But but what you know tethers and connections and you know string strings to the dollar and then that's already happened. Indian oil sales they priced it in dollars and and and paid in in rupee and paid in rubles


in India is a really interesting country to watch because uh they broke away from the the British leash around the neck. They broke away. All right, let me let me you know, we've kind of been all over the place here, but [clears throat] I think people get where we're going, where where you're going and and I I love your your your take on things. It's it's fresh. It's different. It's it's eyeopening and mind expanding. I hope people are getting as much out of this as I am. And and let me


just let me say um if you had to sum up the geopolitical chessboard, what's the one move or blind spot that most people aren't seeing but will shape the next decade? What should people be looking at now that most aren't in order to make it through to the next system without being without being a casualty of this change? be an investor in gold, silver, and XRP. And be aware that the old cabal is probably really big and ugly and nasty and important at a geopolitical level. Now we're getting one every two days.


This is we we're getting an acceleration event of events. Um, I think XRP is going to be a leader, but they're going to be like three others that will do very well and be multiples of a hundfold in their gains. I think we haven't talked about this, but you know, just as a closing note, I believe in the next couple months, silver is going to break. It's going to break in the next couple months. I I usually don't talk about timing, but let me just say that it's going to be better than 5050 chance


silver breaks over 35 and begins to cause a series of problems in a domino before the summer's over, before we go back to school. Something is going to happen, Andy. And I don't what I tried to do in the April report was to identify potentially like eight triggers. What What's it going to be? Well, you know, sign up. Go to golden hyphen. It's not a slash.

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 economics 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. for 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. 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 Bretonwood's 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 dollar-centric 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 vulnerabilities. According to Willie, large US banks are more fragile than they appear due to their exposure to highly leveraged derivative products. Wealth disparity. He contends that


Federal Reserve policies inflate asset markets. stocks, real estate, mainly benefiting the wealthy, while rising costs of living erode the purchasing power of lower and middle inome groups. External debt and trade imbalances. Willie points to America's escalating national debt and trade deficits, predicting they will reduce trust in US Treasury bonds over time and threaten the dollar's reserve status. Willy's criticisms draw from independent research and alternative media sources, which he sees as less prone to


presenting sanitized official narratives. While his supporters view him as exposing under reportported truths, critics accuse him of selective data usage or undue alarmism. Seven, geopolitical analyses, East West economic rivalry. Dr. Jim Willie incorporates a geopolitical lens into much of his economic commentary. He posits that the world's financial and political power is shifting from Western nations, particularly the United States and the European Union, toward eastern powers like China and Russia. This


shift, in Willy's view, involves energy resources, major trade corridors, and the struggle for technological advantage. Key points he often raises include the Belt and Road Initiative. Willie believes China's massive infrastructure project will reshape global trade routes, reduce reliance on the dollar, and accelerate Eurasian economic growth, goldbacked currency deals. He speculates about the possibility of China and Russia jointly introducing a goldbacked digital currency or forming a trade block that


circumvents the dollar. Energy wars. Willie states that which currencies are used to settle oil and natural gas contracts is vital. if Russia shifts to selling energy in rubles or yuan or in exchange for gold. He sees this as a direct threat to the petro dollar system, diplomatic and military tensions. He asserts that international tensions and conflicts can hasten financial decoupling leading to regional economic blocks and alternative payment networks that erode the dollar's reach. Willie often cites Russian, Chinese, or


other non-western media sources to bolster his arguments, which tend to frame developments as part of a broader east-west struggle. While mainstream sources may find these views too stark or speculative, Willie supporters regard them as a clearer portrayal of how global power balances are evolving. Eight supporters and critics in the realm of economics and finance. Dr. Jim Willie is considered an alternative analyst rather than part of the mainstream. This status has earned him a committed following while also drawing


criticism from established economists. Supporters belief in expose of hidden realities. They see Willy's commentary as a revelation of financial manipulations overlooked by mainstream channels. Precious metals enthusiasts, investors bullish on gold and silver tend to resonate with Willy's stance on the eventual surge in precious metal values. Those interested in conspiracy theories. Willy's emphasis on secret deals and under the radar developments appeals to people who suspect official


narratives are incomplete. Critics accusations of excessive speculation. Critics argue that many of Willy's forecasts have either failed to materialize or lack solid backing. Disconnected from market realities. Some economists see Willy's views as too extreme, diverging significantly from conventional market indicators. Promotion of conspiracy theories. Central to their critique is that Willie relies heavily on data or rumors that mainstream economics deem unverified. Dr. Jim Willie often counters these


critiques by stating that time will prove him right. His followers tend to regard short-term inaccuracies as less important than the larger long-term trends he highlights. Nine major themes in publications and interviews. Dr. Jim Willie appears regularly on podcasts, in online interviews, and through articles in which he reasserts or refineses his views about global finance. Recurring themes include monetary policies and the prospect of inevitable collapse. Willie often labels the ongoing wave of central


bank easing as unsustainable and believes it will lead to an unprecedented debt bubble, global trade and the dollar standing. He focuses on the likelihood of the dollar losing its primacy in oil transactions. In his view, geopolitical powerhouses like China and Russia are accelerating this shift. Manipulation in metal markets. According to Willie, the only reason gold and silver are not trading at much higher levels is price suppression, which he believes will eventually fail. Investment suggestions. While stopping


short of giving direct investment advice, Willie regularly emphasizes the value of holding physical gold and silver. He sometimes comments on real estate, cryptocurrencies, or other commodities, but his primary stance remains consistent. Tangible assets are a hedge against potential financial turmoil. 10. Dr. Jim Willy's forecasts and their accuracy. Like many financial commentators, Dr. Jim Willie has made various predictions over the years. While some have aligned partially with real outcomes, others have not


materialized according to his expected timelines. Critics highlight inaccurate or postponed forecasts, especially concerning the swift collapse of the dollar or hyperinflation that did not occur as predicted. Willie and his followers attribute such delays to factors like ongoing market manipulation or new geopolitical agreements that slow down the anticipated shifts. They also stress that his analyses revolve more around long-term structural issues than short-term market timing and that certain economic events might simply be


unfolding later than initially expected. At the same time, supporters note that Willie accurately pointed out the continued expansion of central bank balance sheets and the trend of countries accumulating gold reserves. Whether these represent unique insights or broader trends also recognized by mainstream analysts is open to debate. 11. Conspiracy theories and critiques of mainstream economics. Dr. Jim Willie sometimes embraces viewpoints described as conspiracy theories, such as allegations of covert arrangements among


global banking elites or claims that certain financial institutions deliberately engineer crisis. These comments often lack direct support in official reports or academic literature, undermining their acceptance by mainstream experts. Nevertheless, Willy's core audience contends that the very absence of this information in major news outlets is evidence of systematic cover-ups. This tension results in a polarized reception. While some commend him for tackling subjects that major economists avoid, others


dismiss his arguments as relying on rumor or anecdotal evidence. 12. Building an audience and media strategy. Dr. Jim Willy's influence stems in large part from digital media. Rather than appearing frequently on television networks or in major newspapers, he has cultivated a following through. His website, Golden Jackass, the subscription-based model allows him to finance his research and post in-depth analyses without relying on traditional editorial norms. Podcasts and interviews. Alternative finance channels


invite him to discuss his views, giving him a platform free from mainstream editorial constraints. Social media. Willie uses social media platforms to share shorter commentaries and link to his more extensive articles or interviews. This approach targets a niche yet dedicated audience, particularly those skeptical of mainstream financial narratives. Willy's unconventional or controversial theories find an environment of fewer restrictions online, aligning with audiences seeking alternative takes on


global economics. 13. Dr. Dr. Jim Willy's place in the financial world in mainstream banking circles or academia. Dr. Jim Willie is not widely cited. Instead, he operates as an independent commentator, an outsider who both intrigues and polarizes observers. Critics consider his warnings overly dire and his reliance on unofficial data problematic. But the financial turmoil of previous crises has also made many investors more open to unconventional perspectives. Those who value his work stress how events like the 2008


financial crisis validated skepticism toward institutional analyses. Willy's arguments about the unsustainability of constant monetary easing and the precarious nature of the global debt burden echo broader concerns, though he often frames them more bluntly. Overall, Dr. Jim Willie sits at the intersection of alternative finance commentary and mainstream critique. While he has a loyal core following, he is also subject to ongoing scrutiny by economists and analysts who question his methods and


conclusions. 14. Conclusion and assessment. Dr. Jim Willie stands out in alternative finance circles through his strong critiques of central banks, fervent support for gold and silver, and emphasis on significant geopolitical realignments. His central premise is that the current global financial order, especially the dollar-based system, is unsustainable. According to Willie, everinccreasing debt and persistent market manipulation will eventually trigger a major monetary crisis. One in which holders of real assets,


particularly precious metals, will thrive. Yet, questions remain as to whether his most dramatic predictions will unfold precisely as he envisions and on what timeline. His track record has been mixed and skepticism about certain forecasts lingers. Supporters respond by emphasizing that Willy's perspective is best understood as a warning about underlying fragility. Fragility that may require more time to materialize or that might manifest in ways not easily predicted. Regardless of these debates, Dr. Jim Willie has


established a definite niche. His analyses, whether embraced or doubted, compel audiences to consider alternative possibilities and deeper layers of the global financial system. For that reason, those who engage with Willy's writings often do so with a blend of caution and curiosity, recognizing that while his approach can veer into unconventional territory, it may also provide a valuable counterpoint to mainstream narratives. >> [music] >> Don't forget to like our video and
