The Financial Big Bang Part 3: Stable Coins, Gold IOUs, and the Debt Time Bomb
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, welcome to chapter three of this special audiobook, The Financial Big Bang, How to Position Yourself for the Greatest Wealth Creation and Destruction Event in History.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
And just to review, we just finished up chapter two, The Great Revaluation Gambit, that could generate about $6 trillion in new cash for the Treasury.
to refinance the debt or maybe even pay off a little bit of debt.
And that gambit is totally doable and it appears to be well supported by the Federal Reserve and it's happened before in history.
Five other countries did it successfully, but the United States could raise the price beyond the market price of gold and thus they could generate many extra trillion dollars.
So that's, I'm going to mark that down as about $6 trillion that Trump can raise.
And it's clever.
It's doable and I think it's very likely to happen.
I don't know when, but I'm guessing before July of next year, just based on interviews with people like Andy Sheckman.
And also, I guess, how long it takes Trump to get rid of Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
If he can get rid of him and get his own person in place, then they can move forward with this plan pretty quickly.
So that's one of the trigger events, I believe, that will point to this.
Now, Trump needs to refinance a lot more than the $6 trillion.
We talked about how the number might be $20-plus trillion just in the next year or so, although I admit it's not clear to me exactly what that final number is, but it seems to be running anywhere from $8 trillion to $10 trillion a year right now, 2024 and the current year, and also into 26.
You know, each year is $8 to $10 trillion that is being refinanced roughly.
I mean, somebody out there might have a more accurate answer, but we're just going for a ballpark here.
The next method that Trump intends to use to sell treasuries is the stablecoin sleight of hand.
That's what I call it.
And that's the focus of this chapter.
So the Genius Act was already passed.
And the Genius Act allows banks such as JP Morgan, that seems to be the most likely bank to issue its own stablecoins.
Well, these banks will issue stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries, which means that let's call it the Morgan coin.
So JP Morgan will issue a bunch of Morgan coins to anybody who gives JP Morgan dollars.
All right, so you transfer $1,000 to JP Morgan, you get 1,000 Morgan coins.
which are pegged to the dollar.
They're called stable coins, but of course they aren't stable because the dollar is not stable.
The dollar is losing value every day.
So technically they should be called unstable coins, but they're not.
All right, JP Morgan then takes that thousand dollars that you gave them, and then they turn around and use that to buy U.S. Treasuries.
So that provides the thousand dollars to the Treasury, additional liquidity that Trump needs to either renew, pay debt obligations, or you know, pay down some other costs or some other expenses that the government has.
Okay.
In other words, the Genius Act created a system whereby the federal government can sell treasuries to the American people through the proxy of crypto.
And the people of America who are buying these stablecoins, most of them will not realize they're actually buying treasuries.
Because they could go to Treasury Direct right now.
They could buy treasuries directly.
You don't need to buy a stablecoin that's a token for treasuries.
You can just buy treasuries.
You can link it to your bank account right now.
I've done it before.
But because crypto is more hip and cool, you know, it's techno.
A lot of people will be suckered into this thinking, oh, this is awesome.
I'm going to buy these stablecoins and I'm going to use them, you know, to trade or to swap for other crypto, etc.
And really, they're just buying treasury debt.
The problem with this is the stablecoins under the Genius Act are not allowed to provide a yield.
They're not allowed to pay any interest.
Even if they did, Since they're pegged to the dollar, they're losing value every single day anyway because the dollar is losing purchasing power every day because the federal government is printing too many dollars, obviously.
So the question is who in their right mind would buy stablecoins and hold them?
If you buy stablecoins and just hold on to them, you're losing money every single day.
And there's no upside to these stablecoins that are backed by U.S. Treasuries.
There's only downside.
There's a big downside.
The risk of Treasury default, the risk of erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar, which is a 100% certainty every single day, which is reflected in price inflation.
So for people who love crypto, you would be much smarter to purchase Bitcoin or Monero or Zano or Ripple or whatever your favorite coin is.
You'd be much smarter because there's some upside to that.
And according to a lot of people in crypto, they think Bitcoin might go to $300,000 a coin.
They may very well be right.
In fact, I think they are right.
Because the dollar is going to lose value so dramatically that eventually anything priced in dollars will seem incredibly high in dollar value.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin reaches a million dollars per Bitcoin but gold might be you know a hundred thousand dollars an ounce I mean as the dollar loses value obviously everything else goes higher and higher in dollar denominations that doesn't mean that the gold or the Bitcoin has more purchasing power it just means that dollars are collapsing in value so here's the question to you If JP Morgan launches a stablecoin,
and this stablecoin has all the advantages of crypto, but of course it's heavily regulated by the government, meaning it it's a spy network, it's a surveillance coin, it's probably not even decentralized.
It's probably centralized under JP Morgan and their data servers, and then the government has a backdoor and the CIA and the NSA and the IRS can look at everything, every transaction, and you'll have KYC rules, know your customer, you'll have anti-money laundering rules in place, and so anything you do could be weaponized against you.
Anything that you use those stablecoins for.
So it's a CBDC in disguise.
Who in their right mind is going to buy into a private CBDC run by a bank regulated by the government with all the KYC and AML rules.
Nobody, nobody in their right mind is going to do that.
It's only going to be people who don't know any better.
And even then, even a financially illiterate person, if they hold on to stablecoins for a week and they look at it and they're like, hey, it's not going up.
It's not gaining value.
Right, because it's pegged to the dollar.
So even a stupid person is going to look at that after a while and say, man, I got to get out of these things.
They're just a total waste of time.
Yeah, exactly.
So nobody's going to hold on to stablecoins.
There will be people that will use them temporarily.
They may purchase them for a few minutes and then do a transfer because stablecoins will transfer within minutes at a fraction of the price of, let's say, a bank wire or any other kind of bank transfer.
It's going to be a very rapid way.
to send money, receive money, to pay for something, et cetera, if you don't mind being totally surveilled by the government at the same time.
But nobody's going to hold on to the stablecoins.
They'll acquire them, use them, give them to somebody else, and then they'll get out.
And then the merchant on the other side that maybe sold you something and accepted your stablecoins as payment, they're not going to hold on to stablecoins either because those are losing value every day so they're going to cash those out probably back for dollars because they have dollar costs in their business to replenish inventory to pay shipment carriers etc So they're going to take those Morgan coins back to JP Morgan or other participating banks and
they're going to cash them in and say give me dollars and then they're going to take those dollars and do their business with it.
Okay?
So.
Okay, so with that understanding, I ask you the question, how many dollars worth of stablecoins can the Trump administration manage to convince people to buy and hold?
And that answer, I think you would agree with me, that answer is well under a trillion dollars.
Right now, if you look at all the stablecoins that exist in the world, the total circulation of stablecoins.
It's under 300 billion.
So it's under a third of a trillion dollars.
Now, if JP Morgan issues them and makes them more useful, and then if you can use them to do things like purchase groceries, let's say, or you can send money to other people very easily using these stablecoins, then it will have some additional utility that would cause more people to buy them than the number of people who currently use stablecoins.
But these coins will still be technically complicated.
And you'll notice that a lot of people that are up there in the years, they're not proficient at all at using crypto or stablecoins or Bitcoin or anything, it's confusing for them.
So they're just not going to use them.
I mean, some of those people are still writing checks at the grocery store because that's the way they've always done it and they're not changing now.
Not in their last five years of life.
They're not going to swap that out, no.
So they're not going to use stablecoins.
So I'm going to say, let's be generous to the Trump administration here.
And let's estimate that all the stablecoins combined that could be issued under this new Genius Act might generate maximum $1 trillion dollars in purchases of U.S. Treasuries.
So a trillion dollars.
Okay, it's not pocket change, but it doesn't change the equation here in the medium term.
I mean, it doesn't even cover one quarter of the U.S. debt obligations to current Treasury holders.
Okay, and it certainly doesn't cover a year.
It would cover, let's say, a month or more than a month, maybe a month and a half, maybe two months.
So if you're asking the question, this new stablecoin scheme, how far down the road can it kick the can?
I think the answer is maybe a couple of months.
So it's not nothing, but it's not going to solve the problem.
Even with the combined strategy of revaluing gold.
So as you revalue gold, again, $6 trillion plus these stablecoins, you get another trillion, so now you have $7 trillion.
That's still not enough to cover just one year of maturing treasury bonds.
So we're still not even, we haven't even reached one year of kicking the can down the road yet, and already we're pulling out all the stops to try to make this work.
So what else does Trump and Bescent, what do they have up their sleeves?
So the next item, which I'm including here in chapter three, is the 50-year Treasury gold IOU.
And this is an idea that's been, well, it's been floated by Judy Shelton and Andy Schackman has mentioned it.
Others have talked about it.
And the idea is that Trump would offer to various countries around the world that currently hold shorter-term Treasury debt, like, for example, 10-year bonds, Trump would say, hey, I would love for you to convert those 10-year bonds to 50-year bonds.
And these 50-year treasuries will be redeemable in gold, you know, in the year 2075 or 2076 or whatever.
Basically, it's a 50-year IOU.
Now, I want you to think about this for a moment.
Who's the largest holder of U.S. Treasury debt right now?
The answer is Japan.
It holds over $1.1 trillion of U.S. Treasury debt.
And that's spread out over a maturity schedule that spans many years, obviously, perhaps even spanning more than a decade or two.
It's spread out.
Japan is in economic trouble.
Japan is about to suffer its own currency collapse.
In fact, it's been in trouble since 1989 and the collapse of the Nikkei.
Japan, its central bank is in deep water and as you know Japan has been involved in the so-called carry trade taking advantage of variance in interest rates between Japan and Western countries.
And that created a crisis earlier this year also because Japan has kept its interest rates artificially low for a very long time in order to try to stimulate its economy.
It hasn't exactly worked.
So Japan is holding, again, over $1.1 trillion in U.S. debt.
And the more trouble Japan gets in, the more Japan needs to cash in those treasuries and get paid by the United States so that Japan can cover its own revenue shortfalls, which are substantial.
Is Japan likely to say to the U.S., hey, yeah, you know what?
We'll take the money in 50 years.
We don't need it now.
Who needs money now?
We'll take it in 2075.
No, not a chance.
Japan is not going to do that.
They can't afford to.
And the only way Japan would even agree to anything like that would be under extreme coercion and pressure from the United States, which, of course, the U.S. would be happy to apply to Japan because there's nothing more dangerous than being America's allies.
You know, I mean, being an enemy of America is dangerous, but being an ally is catastrophic because now you have to answer to every insane request of the United States.
I mean, just ask Taiwan or just ask Ukraine if you could.
There's not much left of Ukraine, so it's a problem.
But Japan is not going to buy a bunch of treasuries.
All right, so if anything, we'll be lucky if Japan just holds on to the treasuries they have and if they roll them over into new treasuries, which still seems highly unlikely.
So again, $1.1 trillion in treasuries.
The next largest holder is the United Kingdom, believe it or not.
Not China.
Used to be China.
But China's been selling it off, and China's not changing its mind on that point.
We'll get to that.
The UK is the second holder.
And the UK has over $800 billion in treasuries.
Is the UK going to say, hey, we don't need the money either.
We'll just take it 50 years later if the US even exists.
No.
in financial trouble, partly because of NATO's involvement in the war with Russia.
And also the fact that Trump is forcing European nations, not just EU, but also the UK, forcing them to spend more of their GDP on military spending.
They call it defense, but it's actually war spending.
On top of that, the UK is spending enormous amounts of money for energy, some of it exports from the U.S., you know, LNG exports, because the United States Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
blocking Russian gas from making its way into Western Europe.
That was all on purpose, of course.
Part of this is Trump's effort to try to cripple the United Kingdom.
And I've talked about this before, it's in many ways understandable because MI6 and the UK royalty, the UK empire is historically one of the most evil empires, if not the most evil empire, maybe since Rome, on the face of our planet.
The UK is run by crooked, corrupt, dishonest vampire pedophiles.
And the UK government needs to be completely dismantled.
And I think most UK citizens would agree with that.
Because the people of the UK realize their own government has become a bunch of lunatics.
That, of course, have criminalized free speech and criminalized any criticism of illegal immigration, things like that.
So the UK doesn't have just a bunch of money floating around to take a 50-year pass on...
getting paid back for the money it has loaned the United States of America next is China with over $750 billion in treasuries and China is selling those off through maturities, really.
Basically, China is not renewing any of the treasuries that it purchases.
So China has zero interest in a 50-year treasury redeemable in gold because, of course, the United States wants to wage a war with China.
And the State Department, the Trump administration, they're all gearing up for a war with China.
The Pentagon, even though China doesn't want a war, but the U.S. wants a war with China.
Because China, in the eyes of the U.S., China is becoming too big and too powerful, too successful.
China is leading the world in most technologies, even, by the way, including robotics and drone manufacturing, all kinds of things, rare earth metals etc so the us wants to destroy russia iran and china all three and the us is trying to do that one at a time it's called sequencing the us is trying to sequence the wars so that it doesn't have to fight all three of those powers at once it wants to destroy russia now destroy iran
and then when that's done wage war against china So given that posture, which is well known by China, is China interested in taking a bunch of IOUs and in effect funding the U.S. war effort against China?
Not a chance.
Not a chance.
So China, there's no way that China is going to take 50-year IOUs for gold redeemable in the future, if you even make it that far.
All right, next is the Cabin Islands, which reportedly holds over 400 billion in treasuries, but that's because it's a hub for a lot of institutional investors who themselves are holding treasuries.
There's Canada that's got over 400 billion in treasuries.
There's Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Ireland, Switzerland, etc.
And it keeps dwindling lower and lower.
The bottom line is, as I go through this list, I can't think of a single one of these countries that is just rolling in so much cash that they would be happy to take a 50-year IOU backed by the full faith and credit of a bankrupt nation, which is the United States of America.
Totally bankrupt.
morally bankrupt and financially bankrupt a country that's falling apart a country that is losing world dominance, a country whose currency is being rejected by more and more trading partners around the world, why would anybody accept a 50-year IOU from the United States?
And again, the only answer is they would do so if they were coerced into it by the United States, if they were threatened.
So could the USA threaten Japan?
Yeah, sure they could.
Could they threaten the UK?
Yes.
Could they threaten China?
Not credibly.
No.
We've already talked about that.
Could they threaten Canada is not really interested in doing what Trump says.
Can't blame them.
Can Trump threaten France?
Probably not.
So the bottom line is this effort to swap out something like 10-year treasuries with 50-year treasuries, this will only have a very limited success.
And just to keep it simple, I'm going to estimate that maybe if Trump just really twists a bunch of arms and puts guns to the heads of all these leaders around the world, maybe he could whip up about a trillion dollars in additional money by offering to swap these out, swap out shorter-term debt for 50-year debt.
Maybe a trillion dollars.
So if you add that to our current tally, then you end up with what?
Oh, now we're at $8 trillion total.
$6 trillion from the gold revaluation, another trillion on the stablecoins, and then possibly one more trillion from the 50-year Treasury Gold IOU swap fest.
So that gives you a grand total so far of about $8 trillion that can be raised in this way.
Now, there are other assets on the government's balance sheet, those assets include things like student loans.
Actually, I think that's the largest asset on the federal government's balance sheet is what it is owed by students or former students.
Student loan debt.
Okay, that number is about $1.7 trillion.
Okay, you got it?
$1.7 trillion.
Now, in order to get this money from the students who owe it, you would have to go out and collect it.
And the thing is, the U.S. economy is in such a disastrous situation right now.
Consumer spending has plummeted.
Savings have plummeted.
Debt is sky high.
Joblessness, those numbers are skyrocketing.
It's very difficult for people to find new work and there are massive layoffs across many industries including tech and manufacturing.
And in the tech industry, a lot of it's because they're being replaced by AI.
and those jobs aren't coming back for humans.
Same thing is about to happen in healthcare and in the legal profession.
All kinds of lower level lawyers are about to lose their jobs because everybody realizes you can go to chat GPT and get a legal opinion there or have a legal letter written, etc.
I'm not saying that lawyers don't have a role in society.
I'm just saying that a lot of the lower level things that people used to ask their lawyers to do can now be achieved using AI.
So there's a lot of joblessness and many students cannot pay back their student loans.
They're having a hard enough time affording food and housing and insurance.
Now, if you have a student loan, you may know that the repayment schedules are pretty long.
Typically, they start at about a 10-year repayment schedule.
But there are some new repayment windows that I believe were introduced this year that allow for 15 years, 20 years, and 25 years as student debt goes higher and higher.
So if you have over $100,000 in student debt, you are allowed 25 years.
to pay that back.
So you make, you know, fixed payments over that period of time, which means that out of that $1.7 trillion that students owe the federal government, How much could they possibly pay back in one year?
Well, and also consider the fact that many students are broke and jobless, and so they're not paying anything.
And let's be generous.
Let's say that maybe 10% of that gets paid back to the federal government in any given year.
That would be only $170 billion.
Which is a drop in the bucket.
It kicks the can down the road.
you know, a couple days or whatever it is, a few days.
Not even really a week, right?
And that's the largest asset that the federal government has is student loan debt.
The other two large assets that the federal government has are its military assets, which presumably won't be sold off to the highest bidder.
Hey, would you like to buy the Pentagon?
I can see Elon Musk in the corner raising his hand.
I bid one dollar.
You know, whatever.
I'll take the Pentagon.
Sorry, that was an Indian accent there.
But they're not going to sell off.
all the military equipment because of course the U.S. military likes to give it away like they did in Afghanistan.
They would much prefer to give away billions of dollars while evacuating an area rather than sell it.
So they're not going to sell the military.
They're not going to sell the nuclear missiles, etc.
They're not going to sell aircraft carriers because who could afford to maintain them, you know?
What a floating dinosaur that thing is.
Can you imagine just to keep an aircraft carrier up and running how many, I don't know, like hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour?
it takes to run one of those things.
It's obviously off the charts insane.
You couldn't do it unless you could just print money out of nothing.
In other words, when the dollar collapses, there will be no United States Navy on any kind of scale like we currently see.
So then the third category of large assets that the government has is so-called federal lands.
Well, the federal government has stolen 640 million acres of land from the states and the people.
And this massive land theft has happened under every president.
It really took off under the Democrats and they seized much of the land of states like Nevada.
Something like 80% of Nevada is, quote, federal land.
The western states have been basically taken over by the federal government, the vast majority of their land.
So anyway, there's 640 million acres.
If the government were to start selling off some of that land, you know, who would be the buyers?
Probably the only buyers would tend to be either mining companies or energy exploration companies that want to drill.
A lot of this land is in Alaska, for example.
And a lot of it in western states that have minerals, like Nevada or Utah, for example.
It's easily $2 trillion.
But if the U.S. government starts dumping this land on the market, you're very quickly going to run out of buyers because there aren't a bunch of companies just sitting around with trillions of dollars to buy this land.
So even if you started having a fire sale, on federal land, which probably would never happen politically anyway.
The Democrats would have a hissy fit over this for sure.
And the United States Congress doesn't want to sell off all this land anyway because they want control over it.
So you would only have small pieces of land even offered for sale.
So check out this map.
All the areas in red are, quote, federal lands.
Now you notice there's not much federal land in Texas.
That's all by design.
Most of the federal land is in those western states I mentioned.
I mean, look at Idaho, look at Nevada, look at Oregon, even a lot of California, Arizona, etc.
Wow, Wyoming.
Man, I didn't realize all that was federal land too.
Not that many people, really.
I've been there.
It's cold and windy.
It's up near the Yellowstone Park right there.
It's great for buffalo and bison and wolves or whatever and geysers, but it's not a very pleasant place to try to live year-round.
And then look at Alaska.
Yeah, a lot of, quote, federal land in Alaska.
More than half a state looks like.
But again, who wants to buy land in Alaska?
I mean, a few people, but not trillions of dollars worth.
So even if you were to try to monetize federal lands, how much could you raise?
I mean, let's be generous and let's call it another trillion, even though that seems wildly optimistic.
I don't think that's even possible.
But if you could do that and get another trillion, then now you're at 6 trillion with the gold revaluation, 1 trillion from the stablecoins, a trillion from the 50-year treasury IOUs, and maybe a trillion from selling federal lands.
So you're at $9 trillion.
And maybe you get a few pennies from the student loan debt if there's anybody that can make any payments at all, but it's not enough to even matter.
So you're at $9 trillion now.
You've basically blown through all the gold, 262 million ounces, because you can't keep doing that again and again, right?
It's kind of a one-time deal.
You've already convinced everybody who's willing to take 50-year IOUs to do so.
So you're not going to find any other willing parties, probably.
You've already sold off federal lands.
and you put the screws to the students to try to collect student debt, but they're all broke.
So there's really no more student debt money coming in.
You're at $9 trillion.
This might be enough to kick the can down the road for one year, is my guess.
Maybe a little more than a year, possibly.
It just depends on the numbers.
Maybe less than a year.
But it's in that ballpark.
And all of these things that I just mentioned, these are one-time things.
You can't do it again the following year.
So what are you left with?
So then you have to start thinking really, Ask questions like, could the U.S. government figure out how to make gold out of, you know, mercury or lead or something.
No, it turns out not in any way that is cost effective.
It would cost more to do so than the gold would be worth.
Okay, scratch that.
What about these asteroids flying around in outer space and they say there's gold on them, those are asteroids?
Well, the problem is it would cost more to go get it and bring it back than it's worth per ounce.
even at $12,000 or $15,000 an ounce because mining in space is extremely difficult and costly and if you don't bring the gold back gently if you just sort of send it towards earth then you know the asteroid burns up in the atmosphere and explodes you have an air burst and then the gold is scattered over a big area and you can't really get it i mean not cost effectively so that's that's out so
what's the remaining strategy to convince the world to keep buying us dollar debt and the answer is very clear the strategy is for the us to try to destroy iran russia and china through a nuclear war and then put a gun to the heads of everybody all the other nations and say if you don't buy dollar debt will nuke you too.
That's what it has probably come down to.
So this is heading into a nuclear war.
And the thing about a nuclear war is that it's a clear case of force majeure, which would allow Trump to default on Treasury debt.
Yes, to default on Treasury debt.
If you default on the debt, if you think about it, then Of course, that destroys the world's faith in fiat currencies, especially the dollar.
And the default would hand clear the books of all those outstanding debts to the UK and Japan and China and everybody else.
Think about it.
Even the people that were dumb enough to take the 50-year IOUs, you know, the U.S. government can just default on that.
And the way to do that is to start a nuclear war with Russia, get Russia to nuke the United States, declare an emergency, declare the default, and then actually clear.
of break glass in emergency effort to get the U.S. out of its current conundrum and still have a country remaining but in order to do that Trump needs to convince Russia most likely to nuke the United States.
This is why I believe Trump is moving the Ohio-class submarines closer to Russia.
It's why Trump is talking up nuclear war.
He recently said, we are ready for nuclear war.
I don't know what we he's talking about.
I'm not ready for nuclear war.
I don't think you are.
I know the students trying to pay their student loans are not ready for nuclear war.
So I don't know who he's talking about.
We are definitely not ready for nuclear war.
But Trump wants a nuclear war.
And that's why he's even moved nuclear weapons to Europe recently.
Bringing the weapons back to Europe to threaten Russia.
And the upshot of all of this is that I believe Trump and his team have come to realize that actually nukes America's cities is the only way out of this financially and also politically.
And I covered this in one of my podcasts pointing out some horrifying truths in this.
Number one, if the nukes hit the high density population centers of America, which would be the downtown cities, You do realize that for the most part those nukes are killing Democrats, not Republicans.
So this would drastically alter the election outcomes for., well, forever, if we had elections anyway.
Secondly, nuking the downtown areas of the United States with relatively low-yield nukes, it does not destroy the power grid.
The power grid is a critical infrastructure in order for the United States to compete against China in the AI race to superintelligence.
But the thing about the power grid, and there are three power grids in the U.S., plus, of course, a separate grid for Alaska, a separate one for Hawaii, well, on each of the Hawaiian islands, technically.
The thing about the power grid is that the power grid.
resources and the AI data centers are not in the downtown cities.
They are outside the cities.
Power grid resources, the substations, the copper wires, the high voltage power lines, transmission lines, etc., they tend to be outside the cities, in the suburbs, or even in rural areas, because that's where you connect to the coal-fired power plants or the natural gas plants or the nuclear plants or the hydropower dams, etc.
Those are all rural areas.
So if the cities get nuked, it doesn't actually destroy the power grid.
And remember that copper cables, they don't care if there's some radiation.
But of course there will be radioactive fallout across America and you might be thinking well you know that's bad for the farmland.
How are we going to grow food and feed the people if the soil is all contaminated with cesium-137 which has about a 29 year half-life and so it's not even safe to farm for about three centuries you know roughly about 10 half-lives.
Well the answer to that is even more horrifying.
The answer is They don't plan to feed the people.
They don't plan to feed the people.
They plan to exterminate the people and replace them with AI robots for the labor and AI agents for the cognitive functions.
So they don't need the farmland and they don't care if there's a low level of cesium-137 on the farmland.
And as an example of this that just happened, Trump just announced that he would blockade all Democrat-run cities and states from U.S. federal disaster aid.
if those cities and states don't like what Israel is doing, if they boycott Israel in any way whatsoever,
I mean, talk about weaponizing the federal government, but that's designed to starve out the blue cities and the blue states by withholding any kind of emergency aid from them, including FEMA, FEMA food, et cetera, any kind of shelter.
So that's actually the first part of this extermination agenda, is to exterminate first the Democrats and then everybody else in order to make way for the rise of the robots.
But there's one more huge, huge financial benefit to this horrifying plan.
If Trump manages to get U.S. cities nuked, then what happens to the entitlement payouts of the federal government?
Well, all of a sudden those payouts plummet, which means Social Security doesn't have to pay out to obviously all the people that were killed by the nukes.
And also all the people on disability, all the people on food stamps, people on Medicare.
You know, you add it up.
Federal pensions, a lot of federal workers live in the cities and if they're gone then you know a morbid accountant can add up all the cost savings to the federal government and then that can drastically reduce government spending by some significant amount i mean we could just ballpark it and guess a trillion dollars a year or something and that would give the u.s more runway before it suffers an economic collapse Now
remember the federal government loves you when it can extract taxes from you.
As long as you're working and paying taxes, well then you're a net revenue generator for the federal government.
But the minute you stop doing that, if you are collecting a pension, if you're collecting retirement, social security, disability, whatever, veterans benefits, federal pensions, any of that stuff, now you are a liability on the government's balance sheet.
And every dollar that you collect as a government benefit is one more dollar of treasuries that Trump has to find a buyer for.
And the whole point of this discussion here is We've covered the fact that Trump's going to be very hard pressed to find buyers for treasuries to prevent a debt collapse of the United States.
So just as in Nazi Germany, when the Third Reich said, hey, the government can't pay for handicapped people, infirmed people, actual clinically retarded people, elderly people, et cetera, and they ran propaganda posters to say, we have to stop paying for these people, we have to euthanize them because they're costing the government too much money.
That message is about to be repeated in history today in America.
We're already seeing big calls for euthanasia in Canada and also, interestingly, in some of the blue states in America as well.
Lots of calls for legalizing euthanasia, which has been legalized in some of the Democrat-controlled states.
But euthanasia as a method to prevent the financial insolvency of the federal government, that's a whole new level of evil, and that's where this is going.
And there are all kinds of different ways to achieve disillusionment.
And if you think that they wouldn't do that, they already did.
It was called Operation Warp Speed that Trump unleashed in his first administration, and it killed at least 1.5 million Americans, which is about half a percent, little less than half a percent of the U.S. population.
Now, that's not a high enough kill rate to save the federal government the amount of money that it needs to save.
So that indicates that the next time they roll this out, they're going to have a much more aggressive extermination method.
And, you know, your guess what that's going to be.
But I'll end this chapter by asking you this.
If it comes down to a choice between the current federal government saving itself or saving the people from death, saving let's say millions of people from death which one would the government choose obviously the government would sacrifice any number of Americans in order to save itself every government in history has acted this way it doesn't matter how many people die The government wants to save itself.
Well, guess what the number one most effective way is for any empire in history to get rid of its own citizens, especially young males.
Guess what the most effective way is?
To start a war.
You start a war, and then you send off all these people to war.
They die in the war, so you don't have to ever pay their social security benefits.
And then if your cities get nuked or burned or destroyed in the process, then guess what?
That's even more people.
So this is, Israel calls this mowing the lawn.
in Palestine when they go in and shoot up a bunch of Palestinians.
They call it mowing the lawn.
Well, the U.S. Empire is mowing the lawn right now of the American people.
The U.S. Empire to remain solvent has to figure out a way to kill off at least 100 million Americans pretty soon, within the next few years.
How could that be possible?
Well, nuclear war.
Or, frankly, a power grid failure that's sustained for a few months.
And that can be initiated by an EMP attack or an EMP false flag that's blamed on someone else.
or a cyber attack on the U.S. power grid that's blamed on Russia or China, you see what I mean?
And then that gives the U.S. Empire the excuse to say, well, we didn't mean to default on our debt., but we were attacked by the cyber warriors of Russia or whatever.
We were attacked.
It was a surprise attack.
It was a cyber Pearl Harbor.
And as a result, they destroyed our currency.
So we can't make good on our debt obligations.
We're going to have to start over with a whole new currency, a whole new country.
And we're real sorry about those 100 million people that died in the attack also.
Nothing we can do about that.
You see, This is the kind of thing that happens in history over and over and over again.
This isn't new.
This is just history repeating itself.
So I realize all of this is a pretty horrifying subject.
I understand that.
History is horrifying.
What human beings have done to each other and what they are doing to each other right now in 2025 is horrifying.
If you don't believe me, just look at the Palestinian people, you know?
Just look around.
Look at what's happening in Ukraine.
Look at what's happening.
in America's collapsed cities for that matter look at the child trafficking you know and where are the Epstein files so any horror that you can imagine has already been carried out by human beings against other human beings.
So this is not pretty.
History is not pretty.
And the history that's being formed right now is not going to be a pretty history.
It's a horrifying history.
But they can't kill us all.
We can be hard to kill and we can protect ourselves.
And one of the best ways that we protect ourselves financially is to acquire gold and silver.
And in terms of the food supply, you know, acquire storable food, a backup food supply.
Learn how to grow some of your own food, have gardens.
garden seeds, etc.
Of course, my online store, Healthrangerstore.com, provides certified organic, laboratory-tested, rugged, packed, storable food for long-term storage, including freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, etc., in the number 10 steel cans and other formats.
You can find all of that at Healthrangerstore.com.
Plus, we have superfoods and high nutrient density nutritional supplements, all laboratory-tested.
and many survival items including iodine and a whole lot more.
You can check it out there.
And if you want to stack gold and silver, our sponsor in that space is Battalion Metals, and you can find them at metalswithmike.com.
If you place an order through them and you use discount code Ranger, that's my universal discount code.
Discount code Ranger, they will waive the shipping insurance fee off of your order.
So remember that code Ranger and just go to metalswithmike.com.
Now, finally, don't take this as investment advice.
Do your own research.
Have your own advisors.
There's risk in everything you do and even everything that you fail to do.
There's risk all over right now.
So be smart.
But I think the dollar is going to continue to erode value rapidly.
And I think we're headed for a debt default, although not this year, but at some point in the future.
I think the dollar goes to zero, and I think treasuries go to zero.
That may take a long time for that to happen, but that's where this is going.
And I don't see Trump turning it around at all.
I mean, there are all kinds of clever ways to restructure the debt.
But the real problem is the endless spending, and that's not stopping.
The money printing, the funding of wars, handing out money to all these countries overseas.
And the unfunded liabilities or the entitlements, somewhere around $200 trillion, way beyond the $37 trillion that's the official debt.
This is unpayable.
The U.S. government doesn't have enough revenue or assets to even begin to cover that.
I mean, we've walked through the top assets and they barely scratched the surface on that.
Our power grid is stretched to a breaking point.
Our culture has been viciously attacked, our borders are still not secure, although things have improved on the border situation.
But our education system is a nightmare, totally wrecked.
We don't churn out capable engineers, not a high number of them anymore.
Almost nobody below the age of 30 can do math.
I mean, we're in a very bad situation in this country, but it's the cycle of civilization.
you know, abundance and then complacency and then self-destruction leading to collapse.
This happens over and over and over again.
It's nothing new.
It's exactly the same pattern of history.
So we're not breaking out of that pattern, we're just confirming it.
So that means this ends at collapse.
It's just a question of what that looks like and maybe can Trump delay that collapse by a year, a couple of years, maybe, I doubt it, but possibly he can.
I guess we're all going to find out.
