DHS blocks disaster aid to Democrat-run cities that reject Israel’s... (BBN, Aug 5, 2025)

Time Text
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, August 5th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
Now, instead of an interview today, I'm going to bring you chapter two of my new audiobook called The Financial Big Bang.
This is the most important chapter.
It's the longest chapter.
And based on the feedback that I got from lots of people yesterday, this is a highly, highly anticipated chapter.
And this chapter is called the Great Revaluation Gambit.
And there you'll see screenshots, citations for Federal Reserve documents.
I'm also featuring some video snippets from a couple of different financial analysts there.
And I'm citing the specific Fed manual, the sections that talk about gold, and then a Fed paper that talks about the revaluation of gold and the five similar cases that have happened in history.
Five countries have done this before.
So this is a very, very important section to hear today.
Remember, my audiobook is called The Financial Big Bang.
I'm releasing one chapter each day this week.
And it's only going to be five chapters, so we will finish it up by Friday.
And the sub-slogan for the book is how to position yourself for the greatest wealth creation and destruction event in history.
And believe me, you don't want to miss today's chapter, chapter two.
So we'll get to that.
And then Wednesday we have chapter three.
We're talking about stable coins, 50-year treasuries redeemable in gold, student loan debt, federal lands being auctioned off, and the risk of a debt default by the U.S. Empire.
So that's all kinds of fun to look forward to tomorrow.
You don't want to miss that either.
So we're going to get to the big breaking news where the Trump administration announced that there would be no federal aid for American cities or states where any officials refuse to do business with any Israeli company, including weapons companies.
And in essence, what the Trump administration declared, and I've got the document, and it has not been reversed, even though it was widely reported that it was reversed.
I've got the document right now.
I just downloaded it.
Late in the evening.
And it says, specifically, it says that any city or state that is engaged in any kind of a boycott with Israeli companies or companies doing business with Israel.
Right.
We'll get to this.
Then those entire cities and states will be cut off from U.S. federal aid and disaster aid, even if there are earthquakes or hurricanes or fires or tornadoes or what have you.
And this is the Trump administration saying to all the cities and states in America that you have to bow down.
You have to worship Israel.
Otherwise, we will punish you.
And as I said in my post, essentially Trump is saying to these U.S. cities, if you don't support the starvation of Palestinian children, then we will starve your children next.
This announcement by Trump was met with a very loud and rapid backlash.
And we'll cover that news shortly.
There's a lot of details on that.
In other news, before we get to that, in Australia, the state of Victoria is now about to ban machetes.
And they have launched machete disposal bins, where you're supposed to dispose of your machete by just dropping it in the bins.
Of course, machetes are extremely useful for people living in rural areas, especially.
It doesn't even have to be in the outback or anything.
I mean, it could be in a suburban area.
Machetes are extremely useful for cutting brush and shrubs and doing things like fence work even.
There's all kinds of uses for machetes.
But in Australia, which does not have a Bill of Rights, obviously, and does not have a Second Amendment or even a First Amendment for that matter, the Australian authorities, who are some of the worst authoritarian tyrants ever to exist on this planet, they've decided that no one can have a machete.
And I'm sure they have some silly definition, like any blade longer than two inches or something.
So you're going to go to jail and you're going to be fined $30,000, well, Australian dollars, if you are found with a machete.
So apparently you're supposed to clear brush with fingernail clippers, I think, which could take a while.
But in Australia, you're not allowed to have any tools.
You're not allowed to defend yourself.
You're not allowed to say no to vaccines.
And remember, Australia is where they arrested people and took them into basically COVID concentration camps.
And many people died in those camps.
So Australia is a totalitarian society, but you already knew that.
They're just taking away your right to even defend yourself with a machete or to even do farm work with a machete.
I mean, what's next?
They've got to ban rakes, shovels, and hoes.
I mean, I wouldn't mind if we banned some hoes in Congress.
We got some hoes that are Texas representatives, you know, in the House of Representatives.
They be some Texas hoes in there.
So maybe we should ban the hoes.
But in Australia, they're banning machetes.
Okay.
All jokes aside, moving forward now, Netanyahu has announced that Israel is going to fully occupy Gaza and remove all the Palestinians or kill them, obviously.
So now this is a full admission that it has been an ethnic cleansing campaign after all.
Of course it has been.
I mean, this is the whole point since October 7th, which was allowed to happen, is that Netanyahu wanted to kill all the Palestinians or force them out, starve them out, which continues to this day, and then take over all the land and just call it part of the Greater Israel Project.
We've said this from day one.
It's exactly what has now been confirmed by Netanyahu.
And so just to be clear, what Israel is doing to Gaza and to the Palestinian people, it is a heinous act.
It's a war crime.
It's genocide.
It's a modern-day Holocaust.
And it's being done deliberately by Netanyahu and Ben Gavir and Smotrich and some of the other high-level people of Israel who have transformed Israel into basically Satan's hub on planet Earth.
It is Satan's hub.
And it is astonishing to me that the world still looks the other way while this is happening.
And it's only because Israel is protected by the United States that Netanyahu can get away with ethnic cleansing.
It's the only reason.
And it's because Trump is wholly owned by the Israel lobby.
His campaign was largely financed by wealthy Israelis.
And of course, Israel has the Epstein files, which may compromise Trump or others in certain ways that they don't want to make public.
And there are other reasons as well, but the bottom line is that the Trump administration is wholly owned by Israel.
And so we are not getting America first policy.
We are getting Israel first policy under the Trump administration.
And we'll talk about that more when we cover the boycotting of U.S. cities and states by the Trump administration.
In other news, India hits back at the United States over the Russia oil trade hypocrisy.
Now, you may recall that Trump threatened to slap secondary tariffs on any country that purchased energy from Russia.
And as I mentioned over the last week, the top two countries that do that are India and China.
And India is a major trading partner with the West, and of course, so is China.
And Trump was threatening 100% additional tariffs on India, which is already at 35% tariffs.
And India hit back, pointing out that the United States and other Western nations do far more business with Russia than India does.
So India pushed back against Trump saying, quote, like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.
And then India pointed out that the EU engaged in over $78 billion in trade with Russia in 2024, which is far more than India's entire trade with Russia.
And European imports of Russian LNG hit a record of 16.5 million tons last year.
So why is Trump targeting India and not targeting the EU with these 100% tariffs?
That's because India, of course, is one of the BRICS nations.
That's why.
So this is really not about countries buying energy from Russia.
This is about Trump punishing or trying to punish BRICS nations in order to try to maintain dollar dominance, which is the only lifeline for the existence of the U.S. Empire.
And that dollar dominance is fading fast.
It's actually in an emergency collapse situation right now, as was just demonstrated by India, because India basically told Trump to go pound sand.
And Trump is spouting all kinds of nonsense and lies about the war with Russia.
He's claiming insane things.
He's claiming that Russia lost 100,000 soldiers and Ukraine only lost 8,000 soldiers.
Maybe that's this year.
Where is Trump getting these numbers?
They are wildly inaccurate, just blatantly false.
And Trump is claiming that Putin is killing people and that Putin needs to stop killing people.
Well, here's the truth.
India is not listening to Trump and Russia is not listening to Trump and China is not listening to Trump.
And you know why?
Because as we also learned in America today, Trump has gone insane.
Trump is viewed by the entire world as a madman, as a crazy person who spouts random numbers on any given day.
Oh, you have a 50-day deadline.
No, it's a 10-day deadline.
No, it's a five-day ultimate.
No, tomorrow.
Oh, it's a 67% tariff.
No, it's a 30%.
Wait, we'll lower it to 10% for 90 days.
Oh, we'll have a 90-day extension.
We're going to add 100% to the extension, to the tariff, because it's got electrolytes.
This is what Trump sounds like to the entire world.
A totally insane, crazy person.
And more and more people are beginning to question Trump's cognitive decline.
Trump is rapidly becoming Joe Biden.
And yet he's got this huge ego and this desire to control the world.
He thinks he runs the world.
He said so recently.
He said he runs the world.
Not just the U.S., but the world.
And he's baffled by the fact that India would not do what he demands.
He's baffled by the fact that Russia would not do what they are ordered by Trump.
And he's also mystified by China because, again, Trump, in his mind, he's living in a universe where he thinks that the United States still dominates the entire world and can do anything to any country and punish anybody in any way that he wants and that everybody has to listen to him.
In fact, he's so certain of that that his administration is also has said they're going to withhold funds from U.S. cities and states that try to boycott any company that does business with Israel.
So let's go ahead and jump to that topic.
I want to read for you, and I even want to show you this document.
This document, which is on the DHS.gov website, is called FY2025, that's fiscal year, DHS standard terms and conditions.
So these are the conditions that, as the document says, apply to all new federal awards of federal financial assistance and flow down to sub-recipients, etc., etc.
Now, these are the terms of getting financial aid or disaster aid from the federal government.
Now, if we scroll down to page six, then you will see a section, and let's scroll down to that.
It's section 17, anti-discrimination, anti-discrimination.
And if you go to subsection 1D, read along with me here.
What does it say?
It says discriminatory, prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations, or otherwise limiting commercial relations, specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of Israel to do business.
So this means that if your city says we're not going to buy anything from an Israel-linked company, basically we're going to boycott Israel, then Trump says you will get no disaster aid even following an earthquake, a fire, a tornado, a disaster of any kind, a flood, you're just toast.
Your children will starve.
You will have no shelter.
You will have no help because you're being punished for not bowing down to Israel.
Because of course, the United States of America is an occupied nation and the Trump White House is 100% run by Zionists at this point.
Now notice that this section here is under the anti-discrimination policies.
Well, since when was boycotting a nation an act of discrimination?
You see, what Trump and the Zionists like to do is they like to conflate Israel with being Jewish.
So they say if you boycott Israel, then that's an act of discrimination against all Jews.
But Israel is not all Jews.
Israel is a nation that's actually opposed by a great many Jews.
Probably the majority of Jews that live outside of Israel are horrified by what Israel is doing.
That's why you have so many Jewish groups protesting against Israel all over the world.
But the Trump administration wants to conflate those two and say that if you disagree with Israel, then that's discriminatory and you don't get any money.
No soup for you.
In other words, you can starve to death, which is exactly what Israel is doing to the children of Palestine.
So Trump has borrowed the tactic of starvation and group punishment, and he has applied that now to certain cities and states in the United States.
Think about that.
Remember what I said over a year ago?
I said, everything that Israel is doing to Gaza, your government will do to you.
And Trump just confirmed that.
He made it come true.
Now, if you live in a city that boycotts any company from Israel, even if you yourself are pro-Israel, if there's a natural disaster in your area, you will have no help from the federal government.
Remember under Joe Biden, when FEMA was weaponized to try to interdict the food supplies that companies like mine were sending to the flood victims in North Carolina.
Remember that we had to evade FEMA in order to get our shipment delivered.
Now Trump has done something even worse.
He has weaponized the entire federal government to punish those who disagree with Israel's ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes, all of which Trump endorses, making him complicit in those war crimes.
So here's some of what I tweeted out about all of this.
I said, quote, in the aftermath of the California Palisades fires, when hundreds of thousands of people were impacted and many thousands of families lost their homes and were struggling to afford a meal, my company, the Health Ranger store, shipped hundreds of thousands of dollars in food donations to the people of California.
We didn't boycott cities or states based on whether or not they supported Israel.
We saw them as fellow Americans in need of help, and we responded.
Why?
Because it's the right thing to do.
It's the humanitarian thing to do.
But today, President Trump just declared that Americans who do not support Israel will be abandoned in their time of need.
No disaster aid will be offered to entire cities or states that choose to say no to genocide and war crimes against children.
This declaration by Trump is so anti-American and anti-human that it disgusts any true American with a conscience.
Clearly, Trump's most loyal supporters have no conscience at all, as they think this policy is wonderful.
Yet it drives a stake through the heart of what America once stood for, being on the right side of history, helping those in need, exercising compassion and empathy, especially for fellow Americans.
Trump just threw all that away and set a precedent so that the next time Democrats are in power, they will blockade all aid to conservative states, abandoning people in Florida, Texas, the Midwest, and much of the Western states, all because Trump decided to weaponize disaster aid just like he's weaponizing tariffs and the dollar.
This is a dark day for America.
We should all realize this is the day that Trump weaponized the federal government against the American people and decided to let Americans starve and die in order to protect Israel's genocidal war against humanity, where innocent women and children are also starving and dying every day.
This makes Trump a double war criminal.
He is complicit in Israel's war against children, and he is now waging war against fellow Americans at home while making insane demands on India and China to try to dictate which countries they're allowed to purchase energy from.
Trump has now driven his political MAGA truck right off the edge of a cliff and he has made America a far more divided and dangerous place for all of us.
And I went on and said some other things.
Let me read for you the conclusion of what I tweeted.
This is across several different tweets.
What few people understand is that Trump's announcement of withholding emergency food and disaster aid from Democrat-run cities and states is just the first phase in the engineered famine and mass extermination depopulation agenda that people like myself and Michael Jan have been warning about.
Never forget, what Israel does to Gaza, your own government will do to you.
Today, the targets are Democrats in left-leaning cities and states.
They are being told to starve and die.
Tomorrow, it will be another group and then another until it reaches you.
By that time, there will be no one left to speak out for you because they will all be deported, dead, or incarcerated.
You are not merely watching a political war unfolding in America.
You are watching a war against the human race.
Israel is at war with the human race, of course.
It's no surprise that the satanic power behind this push is, of course, the Zionists who now occupy America and who funded Trump's election campaign.
The Zionist powers represent an apocalyptic end times cult that actively seeks a global nuclear war and the destruction of entire nations.
And they are exploiting gullible Christians in the U.S. to do their bidding while they plot the actual end of the world, at which point they believe God will selectively save Israel from destruction.
To achieve this, Trump is doing exactly what he was told to do.
Number one, initiate a nuclear war with Russia.
Two, start a civil war in America.
Three, exterminate as many Americans as possible, first with Operation Warp Speed and now with targeted starvation, a global trade embargo against America, disguised as tariffs targeting China and India, and the weaponization of federal disaster aid to hang Americans out to dry.
So, God help us all.
MAGA has transformed into an anti-human demon.
So that's where we are right now, exactly as I warned.
I was talking about this a couple of weeks ago, you may recall.
I was saying that it's very clear that Trump is trying to start a nuclear war, that Trump is trying to get U.S. cities nuked, and specifically he wants to nuke Democrats.
He's trying to kill off the Democrats.
Withholding disaster aid is simply another way that Trump is trying to kill the Democrats.
And you see, it's not just about the deportations.
It's about the mass slaughter of maybe over 100 million Americans, maybe 200 million Americans.
This is clearly the goal.
The goal is to bring down the U.S. population below 100 million.
And every time I turn around, I see absolute confirmation that that is the plan, such as this so-called anti-discrimination policy.
Again, what has gone wrong with the Trump administration that only Israel has this special protection?
Cities across America, they can boycott Iran.
They could boycott Russia.
They could boycott China even.
They could boycott any nation.
They could boycott France or South Africa or Zimbabwe for that matter.
I'm not sure why you would, but you could.
But there's only one country that you cannot boycott.
And it happens to be the country that is murdering women and children by the hundreds of thousands, reportedly.
That's the one country that Trump seeks to protect above all other countries.
The country that is Satan's hub on planet Earth, which means that Trump is allied with Satan to achieve Satan's goals on planet Earth, which includes the mass extermination, depopulation, widespread destruction of human beings.
He's even doing it to his own people.
He's doing it to Americans.
He's trying to start a nuclear war because as you'll hear in some of my upcoming material for my audiobook, the only way that the United States government remains solvent financially, despite the gold revaluation plans and everything else, is they have to kill off at least 100 million people so that the government can stop paying Social Security, federal pensions, disability, food stamps, and Medicare.
Because it's the entitlement payouts that are the largest ongoing expense for the United States government.
And if Trump doesn't find a way to exterminate at least 100 million people, this government won't last much longer.
It will financially implode.
It's just accounting.
So when you see the Trump administration announce things in official government documents, and I have the PDF, I've got the DHS document.
They didn't even modify it.
It's still out there, still posted, with the language I just read for you.
When you see them essentially saying that we are going to work to starve people to death following a natural disaster, and remember the government has weather weapons, so they can cause a flood in an area like California.
They can cause an earthquake.
They can cause weather weapons.
They can cause fires, obviously.
That's easy.
They will initiate a natural disaster, so-called natural disaster, in a Democrat-controlled area and then withhold funds to make sure the maximum number of people die.
When you see that plan in writing, which is what we are seeing right now, don't dismiss it because this is, this is Trump's plan for America.
It is a plan of extermination.
And at this point, Trump has transformed into an insane person.
But he's filled with delusions of grandeur.
He believes he's God and that he controls the world and controls the United States.
Did you know that even all of his tariffs are illegal?
There's no legal basis whatsoever for those tariffs.
And they're probably going to all be overturned because only Congress has the right to set the tariffs, not just one man, one insane person in the White House.
So this is a Trump rampage against the world and against America and against humanity.
And it's a rampage that now sees Trump from the perspective of almost everybody else in the world.
They see Trump as a completely psychotic, deranged, delusional lunatic who has lost his damn mind.
That's the way the entire world sees Trump.
And if you don't believe me, ask anybody in any other country, what do you think of Trump right now?
Literally any other country.
And that's what they will tell you.
I guarantee you, 95% of the world population that is even familiar with Trump, they think he's an insane person.
Remember, the United States is only, well, like, I don't know, 4% of the world's population or something like that.
So 96% of the people on planet Earth are not Americans.
And virtually every one of them thinks Trump is insane.
And every day, Trump is giving them more confirmation of that conclusion.
So here's the thing.
The Trump that we have right now as president, this is not the Trump that even MAGA voted for.
Trump campaigned on being the peace president.
He was going to end the wars.
Remember, he was going to end the war with Russia in one day.
I know it sounds like President Camacho from idiocracy.
Of course, he didn't end it in one day.
It's been going on, what, seven or eight months now.
It's still going, and Trump continues to keep the war going.
I mean, he's the one sending weapons to Ukraine.
He's the one who refuses to sit down with Russia and address the core causes of why this war started in the first place.
Which, of course, includes NATO's encroachment onto the territory right next to Russia, i.e.
Ukraine, even though NATO and the West promised that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, that NATO would not move one inch to the east.
Not one inch.
Well, it's been a lot more than an inch, hasn't it?
Trump also campaigned on being a free speech president, but he hasn't followed through on that either.
In fact, he's cracking down on speech that's critical of Israel.
So you don't have free speech under Trump.
You have a Zionist authoritarian agenda, a bunch of thought police that are controlled by Satan's hub in the Middle East.
So nobody voted for that.
People voted for Trump because they wanted real justice.
Because Trump and all his people promised to release the Epstein files.
And then they didn't.
They promised reforms.
It didn't happen.
The guy they put in charge of the FBI once promised to dismantle the FBI.
Now he's expanding it to, I think, New Zealand, many other countries.
It's going to be a global FBI.
Yeah, just what we needed.
Trump campaigned on the idea of a new golden age, economic abundance.
And then since he's been elected, he's just printing more money by the trillions.
And he's focused on launching these stablecoin schemes, which are nothing but really a bunch of scams to try to convince hapless Americans to buy more treasury debt to try to kick the can down the road a little bit longer.
I mean, over and over again, you know, Trump campaigned on the idea of free trade, and then he slaps all these illegal tariffs on all these countries, basically blockading the United States of America, prohibiting American businesses from being able to purchase equipment from the EU or India or China or Russia or Turkey or all these other places or Brazil for that matter, which now has a 50% tariff, or close to that.
Trump slapped tariffs on copper, 50% on copper, making it extremely difficult to be able to build a new building because you need electrical infrastructure and there's a lot of copper involved in that.
So now copper prices are much higher than they should be.
The things Trump campaigned on, he has not, he's not followed through on them.
Basically, he's shown himself to be a puppet of the Zionists.
He will do whatever Israel commands him to do, no matter how insane it is.
I mean, he's had students on student visas kidnapped by the State Department right out of their apartments and dormitories on college campuses without any due process to be deported simply because they spoke at a peaceful rally against Israel.
I mean, that's what the Democrats did to all the J6 protesters, the Trump supporters, on January 6th, right, 2021.
And Trump said that was wrong.
They're peaceful protesters.
But fast forward to today, when those peaceful protesters are calling for an end of the bloodshed in Palestine, then Trump has them arrested and deported.
So we don't have the Trump that people voted for as president.
We have something else entirely.
We have a person who has become a monster.
It's not Trump.
And of course, as you know, I didn't vote for Trump for this very reason.
I said I don't trust his ties to Israel.
And I very publicly did not vote for Trump because I saw this coming.
Trump campaigned on America first.
And then in the end, he just puts Israel first.
America's last.
Screw America.
I mean, that should be the Trump slogan.
Screw America.
Starve the Democrats.
Boycott blue cities when it comes to federal aid assistance following natural disasters.
Because, you know, the country needs the money to send more bombs to Israel, to bomb women and children, doctors, and hospitals to death in Gaza because it's now, as Netanyahu admitted, it's a total ethnic cleansing campaign.
By the way, where are the apologies from all the people who said, oh, it's not ethnic cleansing?
They're just going to do a surgical military maneuver to go in and get Hamas.
It's not ethnic cleansing.
They're not trying to get rid of all the Palestinians.
Now they are.
Now Netanyahu admits it.
So where are all the apologies from all the Zionists and all the rabbis and all the Christian Zionists out there who have been attacking critics of Israel since October 7th with all these excuses.
Oh, no, Israel's not trying to take over Gaza.
Yes, they are.
Of course they are.
We knew that from the very beginning.
So we now have a president who puts a foreign country first, who has weaponized the federal government against the American people, who has violated his promises on all his major campaign promises.
You know, he's not fulfilling what he campaigned on.
He has made life on our planet far more dangerous because of the risk of nuclear war due to his actions.
He has made our food prices more expensive.
He's continued to print money, which devalues the dollar, which raises the prices effectively of health insurance and home insurance, every kind of insurance, auto insurance, as you've probably noticed.
So what has Trump done for America that puts America first?
The Big Beautiful Bill creates an AI surveillance skynet police state to spy on the American people with the excuse that that's necessary to track down the illegals.
We've seen this before.
Under George Bush, it was, oh, we have to expand the Patriot Act.
We have to surveil the terrorists.
It'll never be used against the American people.
Ha ha ha.
And then, of course, it was turned against the American people.
We know where this is going.
This is going to be an AI skynet, Terminator, dystopian, sci-fi future where our government functions as the terrorist and our government is trying to kill we the people.
And Trump is accelerating that exact path.
He has done exactly what has been demanded of him to put us on that path.
Remember, our government doesn't want people much longer because of the rise of AI robots and AI agents.
So both the labor and the cognition of humans is soon to be replaced by machines.
That's why they don't need so many people around.
That's why they're working on extermination.
And of course, politically, the Trump administration wants to exterminate Democrats first because that will keep the Republicans in power longer.
And the Zionists, of course, want that to be the case because they control the Republicans.
They've got blackmail tapes on all of them.
And they buy them off with money.
So that's why we are in this situation right now.
That's how we got here, in case you're wondering.
And if you're wondering why I can even say this, again, it's because I'm almost entirely censored everywhere.
I'm blacklisted.
I'm voice printed.
I'm censored.
I can't post on any major platform.
You can't even share my links on X. You know, I'm totally blacklisted.
In fact, if you are hearing this, consider yourself extremely lucky because most people in our world never even had the chance to find out about the existence of this podcast.
And it is the government and it's the intelligence agencies, including MI6, that have made sure of that over the years that's why we've named the dod in our lawsuit by the way because the dod targeted my website and my company for demonetization and extermination this is how i know the things i know because i've been targeted by this system that's now targeting many other people and
At the moment, they're targeting Democrats.
So I know what this is like.
And there are very few Democrats that listen to my podcast, but they should listen because someone needs to tell them that they're about to be exterminated by the government itself, either through nuclear weapons or engineered starvation or an engineered cyber attack grid down scenario that's going to gut the cities and starve all these people out could kill up to 90% of them if the power grid stays down for an extended period of time.
That's actually a plan.
That's one of the weapons.
And I know some of you are listening.
You're like, well, we support that.
Get rid of the Democrats.
They're horrible.
They hate America.
I mean, they do hate America.
They do mutilate children.
They are horrible people, but I do not condone genocide, not even against those with whom I disagree.
I cannot condone genocide.
So no, I'm not going along with it, as you can tell.
And we have an existential problem in this country right now, which is that we, the people, don't even have influence over our own government at all.
Elections don't change anything.
Trump owns the United States Congress and the entire Trump administration.
And Trump's people answer to Israel, not to us.
So they do not put America first.
And unless we find a way to excise or exorcise the demons that are controlling our government, then we will never get our country back and they will never put America first.
Never.
Now, I cannot support an administration that is complicit in genocide.
Period.
I can't support any candidate.
And that is, at this point, nearly the entire GOP with very few exceptions.
I also can't support any candidate that advocates for the mutilation of children through transgenderism.
And that's almost all the Democrats, right?
And some of the Democrats are communists and they hate America, so I can't support them.
And that's the logical conclusion to this.
Because if we are rational, we should never support evil people, evil political parties,
evil nations and the u.s empire with its support for israel is an evil empire the u.s empire is not just an evil empire it is a collapsing evil empire and what you are watching right now exactly this the things that trump is doing these are the perfect signs of the collapse of a morally bankrupt society this is the same pattern of history
repeated again and again.
It's nothing new.
The leaders seem insane at the last chapter right before the total collapse.
And this is why my free audio book is so important right now, The Financial Big Bang, because it covers how Trump and his people are trying to stave off the total financial collapse of our broken empire.
And they've got some methods.
They're going to try a few things.
And some of them will delay the implosion for a little bit, but not forever.
And maybe not even more than a year or slightly more than a year.
I actually walk through the math in my audio book.
But just understand that the collapse of morality, the collapse of the judicial system, The collapse of logic and reason.
reason these are all signs of the end of an empire this is what happens when civilizations collapse that everything seems insane and your leaders seem insane they are insane they sound insane they do insane things this is actually typical this isn't an aberration this is typical of the end of empires so it's it's no longer a question in my mind that the u.s empire is in a state of accelerating collapse
trump is proving it through his bizarre actions all of his major decisions are actually accelerating the decline of the empire and pushing other countries away from the dollar away from the west and right into the embrace of bricks trump did that you know to quote that little sticker trump did that so what it's all said and done that the u.s is going to be isolated in the world
most of the world will not use the dollar most of the world will not trade with the u.s because there'd be too many barriers for trade it's too many punitive actions involved in trading with america and the american people who will at first find themselves uh destitute and homeless but that won't last for very long because they'll be dead they'll be dead because of an engineered extermination agenda which is being run by our own
for all the reasons that I've already mentioned.
So this is what the collapse of an empire looks like.
You're living through it, and it's pretty bizarre.
And nothing makes sense.
Nothing's rational.
You can't trust any government official, period.
Because, especially at the federal level, they all lie.
They all lie.
And what they're doing is just looting the treasury for their own personal gain as the system crumbles.
They can see it.
They know what's happening.
Many of them have seen the books.
They know the debt.
They're just printing money, which is transferring wealth into their pockets from the pockets of the American people through dollar devaluation, while Trump is angering every trading partner in the world.
It's not hard to see where this ends up.
It ends up in a very bad place for Americans.
And I don't see Trump reversing any of this because he doesn't even know that it's wrong.
Trump is convinced that everything he's doing is the best, the biggest, the most beautiful, that it's awesome, that the tariffs are beautiful, the war is beautiful, the bombs are beautiful.
So there's no way he can even correct any of it.
He has no idea how far off track he is.
So you're about to live through the most...
interesting and difficult time in the history of the united states of america because this is the collapse of america now i had initially predicted that america as we know it would not be the same by the end of this year um we'll see if that happens but it's it's also very obvious that even if we survive to Christmas this year,
we don't have much longer to go before the whole system falls apart.
So with that said, I'm about to jump into chapter two of the financial big bang book, which goes into great detail on all of this to show you Trump's plan to try to salvage dollar dominance and why I think that plan will fail.
And remember, there's another chapter each day here.
So each day I'll bring you that day's news like I've done here today, and then I'll bring you a chapter from the book.

Until then, be well.
Welcome to Chapter 2 of the Financial Big Bang.
Remember that the subhead of this is how to position yourself for the greatest wealth creation and destruction event in history.
Now, this chapter focuses on the revaluation of gold.
This is an idea that at first, maybe a year ago or a couple of years ago, So it seemed radical, seemed fringe,
unlikely it has since transitioned into something that is not only likely but in my mind a near certainty and that happened on august 1st 2025 with a new discussion of this option posted at federalreserve.gov and we'll get to that but let me explain how this works first now it seems i don't know it
seems impossible but by forcing a new valuation onto gold that is to bring up the per ounce price of gold from its current book value which was set in 1973 of 42.22 per ounce okay that's the book value of the gold that is held well by the u.s treasury
which means that right now the value of the gold on the books held by the treasury 262 million ounces nearly is 11 billion dollars okay 11 billion dollars now that's crazy because of course it's only officially valued at 42.22 per ounce now if instead if you were to simply declare that gold is now worth twelve thousand dollars per ounce even though
the market price of it right now is what 3300 plus or 3400 per ounce but if you declare it to be worth twelve thousand and you multiply that by the 262 million ounces that the treasury claims to have then you get 3.14 trillion dollars in valuation now that should be an easy number to remember because that's an approximation of pie 3.14 right so
So just think of it as pie trillions or a trillion dollar pie.
So $3.14 trillion could be created essentially out of thin air.
Now there's a paperwork shuffle that happens where the federal government announces the valuation of $12,000 per ounce.
Then the Federal Reserve prints the money, hands the money to the Treasury.
Then the Treasury gives these special IOUs to the Fed that grants the Fed ownership of the value of the gold, but not the physical gold itself.
So it's a very odd distinction, and I questioned Andy Sheckman about this.
He tried to explain it.
I still don't totally get it.
But let's just say there's some accounting voodoo that takes place, okay?
Which, hey, you know, it's the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
If anybody can pull off accounting voodoo, it's them.
the bottom line is this creates three plus trillion dollars in new dollars you know new new currency that the treasury can use to either service the existing debt, you know, pay off the bondholders, or if it were enough money, you could eventually start to pay down the national debt.
Now, you may have noticed that $3.14 trillion is not, that doesn't make a huge dent in the current $37 trillion in the national debt, but it wouldn't even get there because it's only designed to pay off the current treasury holders as those debt bonds mature.
And since there's some huge number, you know, huge amount of debt bonds maturing in the next year and a half, let's say, and again, I've been told that number is something over $20 trillion.
I haven't been able to verify that, but it's somewhere in that neighborhood.
You might say, well, $3 trillion doesn't really make a huge dent in that.
So how does $3 trillion help pay off $20 trillion plus in maturing debt?
And the answer is that they don't have to value gold at $12,000 an ounce.
They could use a much higher number.
So as it turns out, for roughly every $4,000 increase in the value of gold, you end up creating about another trillion dollars in currency liquidity for the treasury.
You got it?
So if you were to value gold at, let's say, $24,000, then you would have obviously over $6 trillion in new liquid dollars created.
And this could conceivably go even higher.
Maybe they'll take it to, I don't know, $24,000 or more, or $50,000.
Who knows?
But this magical accounting voodoo will allow the U.S. government to kick the debt can down the road by simply revaluing gold at a much, much higher price.
Now, here's the thing.
As I said earlier, it is now clear to me that this is going to be done.
It's very clear this is going to be done.
Ask yourself this question.
If gold suddenly overnight became, let's say, $24,000 an ounce, and how much gold would you want to have on that day, right?
As much as you could carry, probably, correct?
So whatever gold you have now, and I remember buying gold at, was it, it was under $300,000 an ounce.
That was like $250,000 an ounce or something.
I remember buying gold then in the 1990s, and I've never sold any gold.
So I still have that gold, too.
It's not a lot, but it was something.
But whatever gold that you have, you paid a significantly much smaller dollar amount for that gold than $24,000 an ounce.
Even if you bought gold recently, you may have paid maximum with the premium and everything.
You might have paid $3,500 an ounce, let's say.
So that $3,500 is about to go to, let's say, $24,000.
Although we don't know what number the Treasury is going to pick, but it seems like they would be silly to pick $12K as the new gold price because that would only generate $3 trillion.
If they pick $24K, it generates $6 trillion.
So if they pick $24K and you paid $3,500 or less per ounce, now you have a windfall of profit, of gain, let's say.
And at that point, you know, every ounce of gold that you have, you could trade it for $24,000.
And this is real.
If the government announced this level, then the entire gold market would settle around that level.
You would be able to sell your gold to any of the gold dealers, including our sponsor, Battalion Metals.
They would buy the gold from you at something close to spot or whatever the supply and demand curve says at that moment.
But you would get something close to $24,000 an ounce from any reputable gold dealer, buyer or seller, because gold would then be worth that much.
So at that point, for every ounce of gold that you had, you might be able to, you know, to cover a lot of living expenses for quite some time.
And, you know, $24,000, I don't know what kind of lifestyle you live, but I can live a long time on $24,000.
I don't have a bunch of overhead.
I don't have a very expensive lifestyle.
If it costs you more than $24,000 a month to live, then you probably can afford more gold is my guess.
But remember what I said earlier, people were asking me, well, how much gold should I have?
And I said, it's very simple.
I think you should have one ounce of gold for every month that you plan to live.
So, you know, if you plan to live 10 years, you should have 120 ounces of gold.
Because it argued that generally speaking, if you don't have too much of a luxury lifestyle, you can pretty much buy food and have a place to sleep and live a decent lifestyle on about an ounce of gold a month, you know, per person.
If it's you and a spouse, let's say, then, you know, two ounces of gold per month.
But if the government revalues gold at $24,000 an ounce, my goodness, all of a sudden your gold stretches, you know, six times longer or more.
You see what I mean?
So in other words, when that day comes, if you hold gold, all of a sudden, you're roughly six times richer.
Well, I guess it's closer to seven times.
So you're almost seven times more wealthy than you were before.
So obviously it's great to have gold before that day comes, and that day will be a surprise.
Obviously, there won't be a warning.
But there are early signs that that's happening.
And one of those signs is underway right now.
It's that really wealthy people who are close to the president's inner circle, they are buying gold like crazy, and there's a massive effort to repatriate gold to New York out of London.
Because when the day comes that gold is revalued, of course, Trump wants to make sure that the treasury has as much physical gold as possible and that he and his friends have as much physical gold as possible.
So that's why there's been a mad rush for gold lately.
Because these people, they know what's about to happen, I believe.
Now, suppose you don't have any gold, and then that day comes, and suddenly gold is worth $24,000 an ounce.
Well, what does that mean about the value of your dollar?
It means that your dollar just dropped to almost one-seventh of its previous value, at least in terms of pricing gold.
Now, it doesn't mean that groceries are going to be seven times higher the very next day.
No, it won't work that way.
But over time, there will be a number of people who start selling gold, either maybe to the government, to the treasury, or other buyers, in order to take profits.
If you see gold go to $24,000 and you need cash, you're going to start unloading gold.
And a lot of people will do that at that time.
And what that's going to cause is it'll create a lot of movement of this money, this $6 trillion.
Some portion of it will flow into the economy of people who are buying things with it.
Things like homes, land, groceries, whatever.
So you're going to have more dollars chasing the same limited supply of goods and services.
What happens in that scenario?
The answer, of course, is inflation.
So you're going to see inflation when that day comes.
Now, this inflation effect will be, I believe, quite dramatic.
That is, if gold is priced at something like $24,000.
It would be less dramatic if gold were priced at $12,000 or $15,000.
And we don't know what number the government is going to choose.
But the higher the number, the more dollars they get.
So it seems like there's every incentive to choose a higher number.
This is kind of what Andy Sheckman is talking about when he says that Trump will sacrifice the dollar to save the debt market.
In other words, by revaluing gold, Trump and his team will be devaluing the dollar because of all this new money flooding in the system.
But they will be able to refinance some portion of the treasury debt.
Not enough to stop the final collapse, but enough to delay it.
This is a delay game.
Can they delay it another year?
I don't know.
Three years?
Five years?
Ten?
Nobody knows.
But they can delay it for some period of time.
And that is their goal.
So the short version is that the more gold you have when this day comes, the more your wealth increases by almost seven times if they choose the 24K number.
The more dollars you hold on that day, the more your dollar value rapidly decreases because of all the new dollars that are effectively created because of this gold revaluation move.
In other words, this is a massive increase of the money supply.
Something kind of like what we witnessed during COVID, which set off much of the inflation that you're seeing right now, which is why a steak might cost you 50 bucks at the grocery store these days.
Or at a restaurant, it might be, you know, 100 bucks.
So that's because of massive money creation.
This is what is about to happen.
And I think it's very clear that this is going to happen.
So I want to play a couple of videos for you here.
So the first video I want to play for you is from a man known as Clive Thompson.
And I spotted this video a few weeks ago.
Now, this man, what he says just makes total sense.
And he's talking about gold being revalued at $15,000.
Now, Clive Thompson, he recorded and posted this video before August 1st, which is the day on which the Federal Reserve posted a new document that further discusses the gold revaluation strategy.
And that seems to me to be the confirmation that they're going to do this.
So understand that this man you're about to hear from, Clive Thompson, he's on YouTube.
i don't know his website but i'm i'm sure you could probably find find it pretty easily clive thompson um let's listen to him for a few minutes so you can get a sense of what he's talking about here which is completely aligned with what i just explained but in more detail here we go hello dear viewers my name is clive thompson what if i told you that the u.s government has a secret plan to
revalue gold at fifteen thousand dollars an ounce and it will wipe out the current year's deficit and reduce the u.s government debt and it won't cost you a single penny before i get onto that i've been investing money for 50 odd years i've made a lot of mistakes i don't make so many mistakes these days and my mission is to help you manage your finances better to learn how to invest in the stock markets how to invest in gold or gold miners or bitcoin or equities or property or
any other type of investment.
I'm here to teach you about investing your money so that you can prepare your own financial future and your retirement.
But let's get back to the question of $15,000 gold.
It sounds impossible, right?
But this plan is not only possible, it's been done before, and I think it's in the making as I make this video.
And the key to all this is gold.
with
talking about a potential revaluation of the u.s government's gold holdings from the statutory price of 42.22 to 15 000 an ounce today i'm going to break down how this could happen who gets rich why the whispers about this plan are getting louder in the highest circles of power and how you can know when it's
about to happen and prepare yourself.
Let's start with a simple fact.
The United States government owns a lot of gold.
It's about 261.5 million ounces to be exact.
But here's the crazy part.
On the official books of the government, this gold is valued at just $42.22.
That's the statutory price of gold set in 1972.
The gold thus has a book value of only US$11 billion.
But at today's market price of about US$3,300, that same gold is actually worth over US$862 billion.
And if gold were to be revalued, it would be a lot of gold.
to 15 000 an ounce that gold would be worth over four or nearly four trillion dollars but let's go back in history a little bit where did this gold come from in the first place currently it's held by the u.s treasury which is a branch of the u.s government but it wasn't always theirs Back in 1934,
in the middle of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Gold Reserve Act.
This law forced the Federal Reserve, who held the gold, to hand over all of its physical gold to the US Treasury.
And in return, the Federal Reserve got a piece of paper, an IOU called a gold certificate.
If you look at the Fed's balance sheet today, it's the very first asset listed on the balance sheet.
It's called Gold Certificate Account, and it's valued at that same $11 billion.
But it's just an accounting receipt.
It's not a claim to get their gold back ever.
The Federal Reserve cannot and may not convert that certificate into gold and it has no right to ask for redemption of the certificate.
So the only way it can be redeemed is if the Treasury so decides and if they redeem it, they'll redeem it at the statutory price of gold, i.e.
at $42.22 an ounce, which is $11 billion.
So that gold certificate is on the books as $11 billion.
It's only worth $11 billion and it never will be worth any more and it can't even be cashed in, at least not at the holder's behest.
So we go back to 1934.
All that gold was transferred from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury as a result of the Gold Reserve Act.
But Roosevelt wasn't done on that day.
The next day, he devalued the US dollar by over 40%.
He did this by changing the official price of gold from $20.67 an ounce to $35 an ounce.
Or more precisely, as it was worded in his proclamation, he reduced the gold weight of the dollar from 25.8 grains of gold, 9 tenths fine, to 15.715 grains of gold, 9 tenths fine.
Obviously, we know it today as an increase in the price of gold from 20 to $35.
Now this move, this genius move at the time, created a 2.8 billion paper profit out of thin air.
And Roosevelt made absolutely sure that that profit went straight to the Treasury, not to the Fed.
He said, and I quote, we believe that all profits should revert to the Treasury of the United States for the benefit of the country as a whole.
And with that, the Fed was left with a bit of paper and nothing more.
Obviously, their real gold was now gone.
The move shocked bankers in London, Paris and Zurich.
The mighty US dollar that they held had suddenly lost 41% of its value overnight.
Foreign bankers saw it as an aggressive, unfair trade tactic.
It was a clear signal that the old rules of money no longer applied.
So why am I talking about something which happened 90 years ago?
Because today, the USA is facing a similar crisis.
The national debt is spiralling out of control.
The interest payments alone are becoming one of the biggest expenses of the entire federal budget.
And worse is to come.
The government has to refinance about 9 trillion of its debt over the next four years.
That's roughly one-third of its debt.
This debt was issued when interest rates were low, about 1.5% to 2%.
Today, interest rates or yields on bonds are closer to 5%.
That refinancing cost, which is coming over the next few years, is going to cause the government's interest costs to explode.
Something has to be done.
And that's where the 1934 playbook comes into focus.
The idea, gaining traction, is to repeat Roosevelt's move, but on a much grander scale.
A revaluation of gold to $15,000 would generate $3.9 trillion of windfall for the Treasury.
It would wipe out the entire budget deficit for 2025 or 2026 when they do it, and it would allow the government to pay down a huge chunk of the national debt.
So how would this work technically?
Because it's a kind of monetary sleight of hand, but it can be done in four simple steps, which I'm going to outline.
And I'm not asking for any Nobel Prize for explaining this.
First, the Treasury would buy back the gold certificates held by the Fed, paying the value $11 billion.
Secondly, the President would issue an order raising the official statutory price of gold to $15,000 an ounce.
Thirdly, the Treasury would now sell all of its gold to the Federal Reserve at the new price, the new statutory price, receiving in exchange $3.9 trillion of newly created digital cash.
And finally, the government would repeat the 1934 trick, which is to pass a new law forcing the Federal Reserve to hand over that gold back to the Treasury in exchange for, you've guessed it, another gold certificate.
The end result.
The Treasury's got its gold back, plus it's got $3.9 trillion in Cash created out of thin air, $3.9 trillion in cash created out of thin air by the Fed.
And since the gold certificates aren't counted as government debt, the national debt could be drastically reduced.
And of course, in the current year, there'd be a huge profit made by the Treasury, resulting in a budget surplus instead of the huge deficit that everyone's expecting.
So who wins in this scenario and who loses?
Well, the biggest winner by far is the U.S. government.
But the other beneficiaries would be anyone who owns gold or anything related to gold, such as gold mining stocks.
Central banks in countries like Russia and China would see their assets soar.
Individuals who own gold coins or bars would see their wealth multiply.
And of course, gold mining companies would become incredibly profitable overnight.
All right.
Hope you enjoyed that video there from Clive Thompson.
There's more.
And I've got two Federal Reserve documents to show you here straight ahead.
I do want to mention that if you want to get physical gold and silver, do not take this recording as any kind of investment advice.
It is not that.
Do your own research and get your own experts.
But if you want a very fair, very competitive price on gold and silver, physical or vaulted on your behalf, you can contact our gold and silver sponsor that we've worked with for many years.
They're called Battalion Metals.
That's actually their new website project.
And you can reach them at metalswithmike.com, metalswithmike.com.
They've been our sponsor for, I don't know, seven or eight years, something like that.
I've forgotten exactly how many years.
And highly trustworthy, third-generation family business.
They do a massive volume of gold and silver all over the country and around the world.
And they know their stuff and they don't do any bait and switch tactics.
And their premiums are very, very low, especially compared to a lot of other sort of more popular retailers that are out there.
And there is a very dishonest practice in the gold retail industry right now where they talk you into these odd coins that are weird ounces, like I don't know, one and a half ounces, and you're overpaying by far.
I've talked to Annie Sheckman about this.
Some people have overpaid by two or even three times the value of gold in order to get these weird coins, these collector's coins that nobody recognizes and nobody wants to buy.
So don't get taken.
Don't get talked into something that sounds too good to be true.
You want real physical gold and silver, get it from a trusted source.
And you can't do any better than metalswithmike.com.
And yes, they are our sponsor.
And yes, so they do compensate us for plugging them, a very small compensation, actually.
So I just want to make sure that you get a good value and a high integrity provider if you decide that gold and silver are right for you.
Personally, I'm stacking gold and silver on a regular basis at whatever price it happens to be that month because I'm not speculating on it.
I don't consider it to be a speculative investment.
I consider it to be asset protection.
So I'm stacking gold and silver.
And now in anticipation of where this is going, I'm stacking as much gold as I possibly can manage because, again, I believe it's going to be revalued.
And when it's revalued, it's only going to happen once in our life.
Once it's announced, you can't go back, right?
Instantly, everybody's gold will be worth much, much more than what it's worth right now.
And probably silver will follow as well, although we don't know to what extent.
I mean, the silver market is anyone's guess.
I do think it will rise, but I think there'll be a lag time on the silver.
So if gold goes to, I don't know, let's say gold goes to, let's just use a lower number here, $15,000 an ounce announced by the federal government.
And, you know, currently the gold to silver ratio is pretty crazy, like 90-something, but historically, it's been much, much lower.
It's even been like 15 or 20, but I'm just going to say it's 50.
So that would put silver at $300 an ounce if it follows gold and achieves that same ratio, you know, 50 to 1 ratio in terms of gold to silver price.
So silver at 300 is very conceivable, if you ask me, although obviously we can't guarantee it's going to happen.
And silver is not a monetary metal entirely like gold is.
Silver is an industrial metal.
So that has to be factored in as well.
But I do know silver is in short supply.
But in my mind, if gold is revalued, there's no way that silver stays at its current price.
It begins to track towards gold over time.
But that's just my assessment.
You know, you can determine your own assessment.
But wasn't that talk by Clive Thompson really amazing?
So I hope you picked up on a couple of important points that Clive Thompson shared with us.
One of those being the fact that the Treasury's, essentially the IOUs to the Fed, they don't count as a debt.
They're not considered national debt.
So by using something like this, a massive gold revaluation of $12,000 an ounce, $15,000 or $24,000 or even higher, on the books, it would create a massive surplus, a revenue surplus for the Treasury for that year.
Again, because the IOUs to the Fed don't count, they are not considered officially debt.
Even though, logically, you could say they are debt, but they don't count as debt.
So yeah, it's a financial voodoo game.
But Trump could come out and publicly say, hey, I'm the first president in generations to have a government surplus.
We actually made money this year as the government, and we were able to pay down some amount of debt.
Think about that.
Now, even though it's financially not true, but politically it's very valuable to be able to say that because everybody's concerned about the debt.
So because most people are not very sophisticated in understanding what all this is, and it is, it's complex, right?
And there's a lot of financial sleight of hand taking place in this scenario.
Most people would not track it.
And they would just believe whatever Fox News reports.
Oh, it's the first time we've had a government surplus since, well, I guess since Bill Clinton.
And his surplus was also a bunch of financial shenanigans as well.
So, you know, we've just gone deeper and deeper into debt every year, no matter what.
The other thing that Clive Thompson mentioned is that the U.S. government is going to have to pay back $9 trillion in maturing debt bonds over the next four years.
That number is low.
I mean, Clive's number is actually too low.
It's significantly higher than that.
In fact, I mean, there was something like $9 or $10 trillion that's due this year, just in 2025, or something close to that.
And again, 2026 might be another $8, $9, $10 trillion, something like that.
So over four years, this is really significant.
It's probably over four years, it's probably well over $30 trillion.
I just don't have the final numbers right now because they're shockingly difficult to nail down, probably on purpose.
So this isn't a $9 trillion game.
This is a $20-plus trillion dollar problem.
And that's why I think gold will be revalued much higher than $12,000 or even $15,000 an ounce.
I also want to mention that, as Clive Thompson said, everything related to gold would also go up tremendously in value.
So if you've purchased things like gold backs, for example, which is sort of spendable gold, you know, gold backs.
You can get gold backs in small denominations, such as one half of one thousandth of an ounce of gold in the gold back.
But typically the smallest that people see is one one thousandth of an ounce of gold.
But I like to hand those out to people.
I give out a lot of gold backs all the time.
And gold backs, they're beautiful.
It's very artful, and there's real physical gold in the gold backs.
Well, those gold backs, I mean, I guess, let me check the price right now.
And by the way, my laboratory has confirmed the gold content of the gold backs.
And right now, one gold back is priced at $6.70.
So gold backs tend to be about double the spot price of gold.
But gold backs have their own supply-demand curve.
And there are gold backs that are available in different denominations, such as 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100.
And I've got some of all of those.
And we are an affiliate for the gold back company, too.
If you want to check them out yourself, just go to verifiedgoldbacks.com.
That's our website that shows you our lab testing results on the gold backs.
Again, that's verifiedgoldbacks.com, or you can find them at my affiliate site, rangerdeals.com.
They're also listed there.
But gold backs are designed to make gold spendable.
Whereas you can't easily chop a gold coin into a thousand pieces and say, here, you want a thousandth of a coin?
You know, that's not going to work.
But with a gold back, you can take out one one thousandth of an ounce of gold in the form of a goldback.
And at many farmers markets and an increasing number of local retailers, this is increasingly accepted as a form of payment at the current gold back price.
And when you have states like Texas that just recently signed into law the recognition of gold and silver as legal tender.
And of course, that's true in many other states like Wyoming, etc., then you're seeing gold and silver be increasingly recognized as a spendable kind of cash because it holds intrinsic value.
And the thing about goldbacks is the gold is in the gold back.
It's not a receipt for gold.
It's not a claim on gold.
And it certainly isn't a dollar.
It's not a debt instrument, which is what the dollar is.
A gold back is an actual very measured amount of gold in a specific format that's easy to carry, you know, in a wallet or a pocket or wherever.
And they're durable and beautiful.
So gold backs, I mean, right now, okay, if a gold back is $6.70 in value right now, let me do the math on this.
If that goes up, let's say gold is revalued to $24,000 an ounce.
That's going to put gold backs at about $45 plus per gold back.
And I remember when I first started talking about these, they were $3 and something each.
And they could go to $45, you know, per goldback.
And since you can have a 100 gold back that's got 100 thousandths of an ounce of gold in it, you know, guess what the price would be on that using the same numbers here?
Well, that would be about $4,500.
Can you imagine just having a gold back?
It's like at that price, handing out gold backs would be like handing out $50 bills.
So all the gold backs that I've given to people, which has been just a massive amount.
I mean, I don't even want to say how much.
I like to give out gold backs because I'm a generous person and I like to share the message of gold.
And one time at my church, I just gave a gold back to every person that came in for attendance because I believe in reverse tithing.
And I've given stacks of gold backs to Michael Jan to hand out to people he knows in Japan.
And he's done that.
And he uses them as bookmarks too.
They're really great bookmarks.
But I've given away so many gold backs to people because I like to share gold.
And think about it.
Each one of those gold backs could become worth $45 if the government makes this move, you know.
So gold mining companies will absolutely explode in value.
Now, I'm not an expert in gold mining, and so I steer clear of that because most gold mining companies go belly up.
I mean, most silver mining also, you know, I mean, just precious metals mining is a very risky business.
But there are people like Peter Schiff who know exactly about which mining companies are better positioned.
And I don't know, so I would defer to others like him.
But if you end up in the right gold mining company at the right time, your shares in that company could go up 100x.
That's no joke.
I just don't know who that might be.
And I don't like to, that's just not My thing to watch stock prices.
I just feel like it's out of my control.
So I don't invest in mining companies, but some of you probably do, and some of you are going to do extremely well in those mining companies, if you're in the right ones anyway, when this decision happens or if the Fed makes this move, as I think they will.
So this is all really critical information to keep in mind.
Personally, I'm happy with just gold itself going up, you know, seven times.
I mean, that's, I'm thrilled.
I'm actually just thrilled with gold, how much it's gone up in the last three years.
You know, it skyrocketed from under $2,000 an ounce to almost double that.
So I'm thrilled about that.
If it goes up another seven times, then, you know, I'm jumping up and down for joy.
But I'm also very concerned about what happens to the mass impoverishment of the people who don't own gold and the inflation that's going to kick in, etc.
And I'm going to talk about that more in an upcoming chapter.
But I just wanted to let you know that everything that is related to gold is going to go up if gold is revalued.
That includes gold backs.
That includes gold mining companies.
It includes your gold ring, you know.
Like you'll be able to take it to a pawn shop and get seven times more if you want.
Your gold fillings in your mouth.
I have some gold fillings.
Oh my God, they're going to be worth a fortune.
If you go broke, you start pulling teeth.
You know, how broke are you?
I'm so broke.
I'm pulling teeth.
You know, that's when you're desperate.
No, I'm kidding.
Never pull your own teeth for the gold value.
But think about whatever gold you have or whatever forms of gold you have and how much more valuable it can become.
It's extraordinary.
Now, I want to show you another video, or just part of it, actually.
It's a video by George Gammon.
George Gammon is known as the rebel capitalist, and he's a sharp guy.
I've always enjoyed his whiteboard presentations.
And they even animate the figures on the whiteboard, which is really fun.
He's got a video they put out a few weeks ago that talks about this plan to revalue gold.
Again, but George Gammon explains how this works.
And he cites a different document on the Federal Reserve website that's part of the training manual that tells reserve employees, Federal Reserve employees, how to do this.
It even mentions the current $11 billion of gold valuation on the balance sheets of the Treasury.
So I just want to play a little bit of this video for you so you can hear another person explain what this is.
And George Gammon is not an intellectual lightweight.
He's a serious guy with a sharp mind, good financial grasp.
And I think he nails this.
So check out this video.
Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and hearing this.
Breaking news, this just in.
In an effort to solve the U.S. debt crisis, the government has just revalued gold to $20,000 an ounce.
Now, that may have been artificial intelligence, but there's some very high-level macro thinkers like Luke Groman with real intelligence that have been talking about how the United States may try to solve their debt crisis by revaluing gold to $20,000 an ounce, if not higher.
And this is something they could be doing very, very soon.
I'm going to explain how they would do this and what I think the probabilities are of this actually happening in three simple fast steps.
Step number one, let's go over the mechanics here.
It's actually pretty easy, believe it or not.
We'll start in this section of the whiteboard.
And we've got everybody's favorite, your drunk, insolvent Uncle Sam, the federal government right here.
So he just is holding a sign that says, I will pay $20,000 for an ounce of gold.
So if you are a gold holder and you wanted to sell your shiny yellow metal, what did Keynes say, the barbarous relic, why would you sell it at a lower price than $20,000 an ounce?
The answer is you wouldn't.
Okay.
So Fort Knox, as we know, has a lot of the gold, but the total amount of gold, the United States holds, roughly 260 million ounces, which at today's price would be valued at approximately $858 billion.
Okay, well, let's think this through.
If your drunk, insolvent Uncle Sam revalued the price up to $20,000 by just putting in that bid, then the value of the gold the United States owns goes from, let's call it $850 billion straight up to roughly $5 trillion.
Now, you may be saying to yourself, okay, George, I get that, but where on earth would they get the money?
Well, they just sell treasuries.
And you say, well, wouldn't that increase the debt?
Yes, it would increase the liability side of the balance sheet, but it would also increase the asset side of the balance sheet because they're buying that physical gold.
And I'd also like to remind everyone that back in 2020, the Federal Reserve came out and put in a bid for corporate debt because that market was completely blowing up.
There was no liquidity.
And they only had to buy about a billion dollars worth of corporate debt to kind of set a floor on the actual price.
So my point here is: number one, they would increase the liability side, but they'd also increase the asset side, basically a wash.
And also, in my opinion, they wouldn't have to buy that much to go ahead and reset that price from where it is today all the way up to $20,000, if not higher.
Okay, great.
So very straightforward.
Now let's go over and look at the Treasury, Scott Besant, and the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.
We've got assets on the left, liabilities on the right.
Currently, $37 trillion in debt for the federal government, but they have the gold that we were talking about earlier.
And the Federal Reserve, they have the TGA as a liability on their balance sheet.
That's basically the checking account for the Treasury.
Now, believe it or not, the Federal Reserve has this secret monetary manual.
At least no one that I know of has really ever heard of it other than Luke Groman.
He's the one that pointed it out to me on Twitter when we were going back and forth about this.
And this is actually a real thing.
We're going to go to it in just a moment.
So I guess they just give this to their employees when you get hired at the Federal Reserve.
They just give you this Fed monetary policy manual.
I guess that's how it works.
But in section 2-10, they talk about how the Treasury can issue these gold certificates.
Sounds very fancy, but it's just a financial gimmick.
And this is the key to this whole thing working out.
Okay, so the Treasury can issue these gold certificates.
We got it?
All right.
And these gold certificates have perceived value to an entity like the Federal Reserve.
Again, this is just accounting gimmicks back and forth here, but they are legal.
Okay, so those gold certificates issued by the Treasury go onto the Fed's balance sheet.
They buy all of them, which represents a claim on the gold they have as an asset.
So they buy $5 trillion worth of these gold certificates.
So then they've got those gold certificates as an asset, and they have the $5 trillion of liabilities that they just deposited into the TGA.
So now the Treasury's balance sheet changes in the sense they have $5 trillion in cash, but they also have the liabilities, those gold certificates they sold to the Federal Reserve.
And of course, they still have the $37 trillion in debt they started with.
But what they can do is effectively buy down the debt.
So they take it from $37 trillion to $32 trillion.
I know a lot of you write about it and are kind of scratching your head and saying, okay, George, I thought this solves the debt problem or the debt crisis.
They still have $32 trillion, for heaven's sakes.
It's not like this takes it down to zero.
And you would be correct.
Right now, the debt to GDP for the United States is around 120%.
And this is what's got us in this crisis mode.
But a lot of these high-level thinkers, like Luke Groman and many others, believe that if we could just get the debt down to about 60% to 70% of GDP, historically speaking, this would dodge the bullet.
And this would take us from a point of crisis back to a point where the debt of the United States is sustainable.
All right.
I want to jump in here for just a moment because what George Gammon is referring to here, I have a little bit different take on where this money goes.
He's talking about it paying down some of the debt.
I don't even think we're there.
Right now, I think that Trump is going to have gold revalued to raise money to simply service the current debt, right?
To pay off the maturing bonds, even as new treasuries are sold.
So I don't even think this is going to pay down the total debt burden, but it will simply avoid a total debt default.
In other words, this keeps the engine going a little bit longer, but I don't think it's going to reduce the national debt by trillions of dollars.
That's my guess.
The second thing that's worth mentioning here is that even though the Federal Reserve holds the gold certificates, according to Andy Sheckman, who I spoke with, those certificates only give the Federal Reserve the right to the value of the gold, but not to the gold itself.
So this is why it's not a gold heist, because that was one of my first concerns.
This sounds like a gold heist, where the Federal Reserve, which is a globalist bankster cabal, would be taking over ownership of all the gold of the United States of America, all 262 million ounces.
Apparently that's not the case, is what Andy is telling me, but technically, who knows for sure.
So I want to wrap up this chapter, and I want to summarize for you here what we've learned from all of this.
Number one, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, through this financial voodoo, they are able to create lots and lots of dollar liquidity or new dollars, and to create those into existence by simply revaluing the assets that are already on the books.
And the only reason this exists is because gold is still statutorily priced at $42 and change.
And it's been that way, you know, for decades.
So, even though many other countries have revalued gold to the current value, which has given them liquidity in order to cover debts, to create revenue for the government.
There's no reason why the U.S. government has to limit the price to the current market price.
If instead the United States government went to something much higher than the market price, which is effectively setting the new market price of $12,000 or $15,000 or whatever, then that just creates so much more liquidity.
Again, every $4,000 that they increase the price would give them another trillion dollars in liquidity.
Now, I asked David Morgan, the silver guru, what he thought the effects of this would be.
I'm going to discuss his answer more in an upcoming chapter.
However, it's worth at least giving a summary right here.
He says that the...
revaluing of gold to let's say $15,000 an ounce would signal the collapse of confidence in the fiat currency system and this revaluation would quote ripple across the foreign exchange markets and it would trigger a cascade of repricing in every major asset class and I asked David Morgan this privately so he he sent me this answer privately I'm sharing it
he says as far as silver it would likely experience the most explosive repricing of all he said that in foreign exchange markets the dollar would suffer a huge blow and that holding treasuries or dollar denominated assets would be seen as increasingly risky and that central banks around the world would shift into much harder assets such as gold or commodities he
said this would create global
risk for every fiat currency system and it would cause a devastating ripple effect in the faith of fiat currencies and then he says that what would happen after the u.s repricing would cause trade imbalances that would become unworkable arbitrage across borders would quote wreak havoc he said currency pegs would break bilateral trade agreements would have
emerge as new agreements and a multipolar monetary world would become official.
And then he says that silver would become the people's money.
So gold would be the central bank's money or the value backstopping their currency.
But silver would be used by the people.
And even though the gold to silver price ratio today is something over 80 to 1, He says the historical...
ratio is really closer to 16 to 1.
That's even lower than what I was using earlier in my example.
So if that were true, even if it went to 40 to 1, he said, then gold at 15,000 means silver is $375 an ounce.
And at a ratio of 20 to 1, then silver is $750 an ounce.
Right.
Wow.
Even a conservative reversion, he says, to the mean, would bring us a silver price of $250 to $350, which would absolutely shatter the paper silver markets.
So the bottom line there, wow, kind of makes you wonder.
I mean, I'm asking myself the question, should I buy gold or should I buy silver?
I don't know.
Half half, I mean, by dollar amount.
I don't know.
You have to make your own decision, do your own research, etc.
Silver could also be revalued by the government itself because there's some amount of silver on the balance sheet, just like there's gold, except the silver amount is far, far less.
So it wouldn't be, you know, nearly, it wouldn't have the impact of gold being revalued.
So basically, I think the bottom line here is that in order to save the U.S. debt market, Trump and his team are willing to not only destroy the dollar, but to send ripples of a mega earthquake shockwaves across the entire world, which would cause all kinds of financial upheavals.
And the bottom line is that people who hold gold and silver are going to be the new wealthy.
People who hold dollars and other fiat currencies are going to be the new impoverished.
I mean, that's the simple way to look at this.
So, obviously, if you want to protect your assets, get them into metals before this happens, if it does happen.
Again, there's no guarantee that this is going to happen, and there's no guarantee at what level the government might set the price.
And this is clearly a very desperate move.
But it's increasingly clear to me that this is a move that Trump is going to make.
I mean, it's bold.
It's daring.
It takes, what do they say, chutzpah.
Or is that the right way to pronounce it?
Chutzpa.
Do you have to put a lot of throat into that word?
I'm not sure.
Takes some balls is what I'm saying.
And it's going to, man, it's going to create a whole new wave of newly impoverished people who used to be middle class.
And suddenly they find that they are not.
So I'm going to wrap up this chapter.

All right, the next chapter coming up is all about stablecoins in the Genius Act and how Trump is working to use these stable coins to find new suckers to buy more U.S. Treasury debt.
But it won't matter.
That's my conclusion.
I'll tell you why in the next chapter.
