I took the following notes from a podcast of Robert Kiyosaki interviewing Andy Shectman from MilesFranklin and added some of my own information and comments concerning the state of the US dollar and economy:

Marker #1

By September 2019 all the central banks of the world had repatriated their gold. They had physically taken possession of the gold they owned.

Background:

Up to this point, most of the worlds gold was in vaults in America, England and elsewhere and because of the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement the US dollar became the world’s reserve currency backed by gold. The US recovered tons of Nazi gold after WWII. During the Vietnam war in 1969 de Gaulle demanded the US return France’s gold and sent a war ship to New York to collect it. De Gaulle realized the US was printing paper to cover the cost of the war and of Johnson’s Great society.

In 1971 Nixon realized the US couldn’t pay for Vietnam without printing paper money so he essentially took the US off the gold standard. 1974 was a very chaotic year until Kissinger made the deal with the Saudi’s which was military protection by the US in exchange for Saudi oil denominated in dollars. Since 1971 the US dollar has continuously lost value.

The same thing happened to Lincoln during the Civil War when he tried to print “green backs” to pay for the war. The “green backs” were initially backed by gold but the US didn’t have enough gold so Lincoln printed money not backed by gold. The value of the “green-backs” immediately fell, until the US stopped printing.

Marker #2

By the year 2020 the Chinese had essentially completed their “Belt and Road” initiative connecting Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe and South America comprising approximately 75% of the worlds population and doing financials in gold and the Yuan and NOT the US dollar.

During this time the IMF declared gold a tier 1 asset and then announced it wanted a new Bretton Woods.

Basel III compliance was published (keeps getting updated) in 2009 and central banks around the world started acquiring gold bullion. Apparently this was in response to the 2008 financial crisis. You mean you didn’t know about it? Well the speculators did and commercial banks and “others” started quietly acquiring gold bullion and other precious metals.

Marker #3

At the end of August 2021, we left Afghanistan and we egregiously left behind allies and equipment for the Taliban and the Chinese. Almost immediately Russia and the Saudi’s made a joint military agreement and Nigeria and the Saudi’s started selling their oil to China for the Yuan and gold.

Marker #4

In 2022 the US weaponized the dollar. Western countries (not just the US) placed sanctions on Russia, for the stated reason of punishing Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. But was this just a cover story? You want me to believe the central banks in the west are so stupid they didn’t know what the consequences of the sanctions would be? This is nonsense. So what are the consequences?

Background:

The so-called pandemic was a pre-planned attempt by the WEF (Dr Evil Klaus Schwab) to force a global reset with the WEF in control. (I can’t stop laughing every time I think of Dr Evil in his Dr Evil costume). The WEF needed something that would scare the whole planet like a pandemic or Global warming or is it Climate change or is it space aliens, whatever.

At any rate the world locked down and we all printed tons of paper currency. And again you would have me believe the central banks are so stupid they didn’t see inflation coming. Right. Inflation was and is intended. The world -wide lock downs together with massive paper printing worked together to create inflation on both the supply-side and the demand side.

Let’s get back to the sanctions. So the West (the US) elected to remove Russia from SWIFT and the Russians elected to join the Chinese in the Belt and Road Initiative which became a group of countries known as the BRICS ( Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).

Inflation drove up all commodities but especially oil and gas which is in great supply in Russia and relied upon by Europe (EU). The world runs on oil, not windmills or mice running in cages to produce electricity. What does the world use to buy oil? US dollars. Whatever currency you have you must convert it to dollars to buy oil. What does inflation do beside driving up the cost of oil in dollars? Because inflation is not a uniform phenomena it varies from country to country. For example it’s over 80% in Turkey as of this writing. If Turkey wants to buy oil it must use it’s very inflated currency to buy US dollars. This results in the US dollar getting stronger relative to other currencies. And this is driving most countries OUT of the dollar and into the arms of the BRICS who have announced their own reserve currency based on a basket of commodities (oil, gas, gold, silver, fertilizer, wheat, etc). The Saudi’s have joined the BRICS and will be accepting payment for oil in the new BRICS currency. Everyone is dumping dollars.

Conclusion

It is clear to me that everything that has happened so far is not a coincidence but is part of a well-orchestrated plan effecting the entire world. It is clear the FED cannot manage a “soft landing” for the US economy and is instead conducting a “controlled demolition” of the dollar. To conduct this slow demolition, the FED has had to orchestrate suppression of the value of gold and silver. If gold and silver were allowed to reach their market value, then game over for the dollar.

At some point we will have to reset our economy but it will not be a global reset. If the FED continues to slowly tighten it will eventually bankrupt the FED. If the FED goes back to money printing the dollar will become worthless. Hopefully our new dollar will be backed by some form of real assets similar to the BRICS.

Great summary, thanks. As Clif says, we all need a strategy.

I am optimistic as Clif is. I expect the brainwashed to wake up in droves when TSHTF and they will have no choice but to examine their reality and figure out what is best for them personally. The slavery of another Central Bank currency, or something real and tangible. Gold, silver and cryptos, or paper promises. Debt notes.

Centrally controlled money.

Gold and silver are Constitutional money. Quality cryptos are decentralized. The more decentralized, the better.

I see Johnny in the middle of a roundabout, playing

In his hand was a paper aeroplane

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Am I to blame

I see Mary standing by the river side, waiting

She thinks the queen is coming by

Then I looked around

And she was gone

Why

(lalalalalalalala etc.)

There’s a thousand answers that I don’t know

I don’t know

Why or how

There’s a thousand feelings that I can’t show

I can’t show

Just right now

I see Simon standing on the railway bridge, spotting

He’s waiting there to see the fastest train

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Am I to blame

I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman’s van, laughing…

Now Mary and Johnny are all together

And Simon and Jimmy are free

To touch anything and everything they see

I see Jimmy climbing on the milkman’s van, laughing

On his feet were a pair of granddad’s shoes

Then I looked around

And he was gone

Are we to lose

Life’s just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no end

Life’s just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no end

Life’s just a game, you fly a paper plane, there is no end

etc (18x)

thanks, Thunderclap Newman, ..so many years later

Frankly, I'm outcast from my family too. It's really a relief. Anyway, I don't know for sure about all of them but, they are the kind of people who got jabbed. I know for sure most were jabbed. Funny coincidence? '66 here, so guess we were born for this.

I think it is kind of strange that one out of how ever many did not get the jab, I'm 1 out of 7 people in my family...thank the the gods my daughter did not get the jab! Good Luck!

same here;... I can't think of one single adult relative who held off on it and who sympathizes with me; about 18 jabbed that I know of... many tried hard to pressure me, and, recently my closest family member totally cut me off suddenly and brutally. I've seen awful personality changes happening in the months since multiple jabs and boosters, making things much worse...

You did the right thing refusing the bio-weapon. It is up to us refuseniks to restructure the world once we are through to the other side.

Sorry you didn't find out about this when you were younger. Between immediate family and close extended were talking about 40-50 people when I was 17 in 75. It still sucks to know that was your status in the fam.

How about internet and telecommunications? Good ol' 5G has done nothing to improve services, but the increases in fees has been a bit disturbing. Too, do you (Clif, or anyone) wonder about whether or not the effenweffers, while blaming Russia Russia Russia (or China or invaders from Mars or India or Lapland), will at some point in the near future pull the plug and take down the web? I realize doing so would seriously impact commerce and such, but seeing how they've snagged and addicted and addled the majority of the population do you think they would contrive to do such a thing so as to demonstrate yet another form of their sadism? Have oftentimes found myself wondering if there are in fact two or more internets ... i.e., nowadays, the plebs' web and the wefs' web.

K Lolli: Agreed. You make an important point. I always thought the appropriate expression for our inevitable economic reset should be "when the lights go out". . . not "when the shit hits the fan."

The metaphor should emphasize how indispensable electricity mainly generated by fossil fuels has become for every facet of our modern world, second only to water.

So, though the BRICS trading nations have their solvent currencies' basket of commodities (oil, gas, gold, silver, fertilizer, wheat), their Achilles' heel would still be a downed computer system.

Electricity can be weaponized easily by demonic types like mother WEFers.

RESET could end up being a THROWBACK to medieval feudal bartering . . . at least until the lights come back on.

The weffer social misfits club instructing their engineers to pull the plug on the electrical grid would effectively ‘kill two birds with one stone’, wouldn’t it, L.C. ? I can’t even begin to fathom the chaos that would result from the populace being unable to boot up their computers –– if only to stream news announcements or listen to music. Or, suffice to say, to placate small children with Disney cartoons.

About a month ago my ISP suspended my internet from a Thursday night to the following Monday afternoon while using the excuse that my four-year-old modem was outdated. This came on the heels of a 10- to 15-mile service area that had been interrupted (constant up 5-minutes, down for 3) for a week straight by an alleged severed fiber optics cable. Aside from the annoying up and down interruptions, I realized I really didn’t mind being completely cutoff. (Ha! No doubt it was moreso a relief from their never-ending ups and downs!) On the electricity side, however, or, as you say, “when the lights go out,” having once experienced an outage that lasted an entire day, I don’t know if I could as easily cope.

I agree and do believe that a system of barter will follow such events. However, another caveat is that even today’s gas /diesel powered vehicles are operated by both electrical circuitry and IOT, so getting from one place to the next might be difficult. This might make it all the more interesting, though. Nevertheless, these sorts of concerns are why I have held on to my 20-year-old ‘unchipped’ Jeep. If that fails, then I might have to barter for horse and tack and a field of hay… !!

In truth I might admit that, as designed and set up today, a greater side of me hopes that the www broadband wi-fi ‘grid’ does indeed go down. On the whole, it has done more damage to our World than I care to admit. The weffers know it: that’s why they built new clinics and hospitals (and added new wings) all across the country; it is why they developed GMOs, and devised the plethora of distractions and lies we see and hear today …

Once unbound, the evil spell-cast broken, I trust that the human community as it stands can and will become a little more creative and resourceful –– less me-centric, more right-minded.

Anyway, thanks so much for your thoughts and comments, I appreciate it!

K Lolli: Glad to exchange our thoughts on all things ominous about computers.

Allow me to elaborate with my family history under WW II Italian Nazi-Fascisti that shapes my view of our current fascist mother WEFers:

1--My father's cousin spoke critically of Mussolini among his local trattoria friends. That evening, during his family dinner, "the knock" came at his door by 2 black shirts who said they only need him for questioning. Just days later, he was found dead by forced-fed "benzina" petrol.

2--My mother's family, even though living in a small remote mountain village, witnessed Nazi occupiers execute a line up of an entire family because one member was accused of being a partisan "partigiano" resister.

For me, these fascist tactics are perennial. Only the technology changes. My relatives were infiltrated, censored, and terrorized for fascist T O T A L- C O N T R O L without computers.

Same for Leftist regimes who were as bad or worse. Research anecdotes from survivors of communist Soviet Union or Cambodian Pol Pot . . .the examples are endless.

So as I observe the mother WEFers maneuvers, my deja vu kicks in especially as they try to:

1--brainwash us with propaganda media of all types and censor the independent truth tellers

2--legislate green energy particularly EVs which they know is a stupid inefficient bombastic plan; instead their EVs' push is their disruption plan to keep us in controlled place like serfs on a manor instead of free movement. Ha! Covid lockdowns failed.

3--buy up arable land with water sources to control are food independence.

4--for all the above, track our banking in place of independent bartering.

Mother WEFers incrementally since WW II are aiming to control us by taking our freedoms. All made much easier by computerized technology.

Imho, the free world's biggest mistake was NOT to execute every WW II fascist and instead allowed infiltration of ex-Nazi under Operation Paperclip. The Nuremberg Trials did not go far enough to restore our freedom.

Today 9/27/22 Italians are voting in the spirit of 1861-70 "Garibaldinis" who won independence from centuries of foreign dynasties AND "partigiani" who helped the Allies defeat WW II Nazis-Fascisti.

Viva Italia !

Sempre p a r t i g i a n i !

My family came from the Scandinavian countries, whereby I am happy to report no such ancestral horror stories from the barbarous WW eras. However, back in the early 1900s, under false notions of ‘great wealth and liberty’, my paternal grandparents from Norway were lured by the Homestead Act into coming across. After a year of extreme hardship, as well as the realization he had been propagandized and deceived, my grandfather’s brother (with whom my grandfather traveled) returned to his homeland out of disgust. Still, isn’t it strange how little times have changed ? As demonstrated, practically daily, by Joe Biden and WarCo, Inc., unprecedented fascist authoritarianism right here in our own backyards.

I hope I don’t impose on you with what I find interesting, but to demonstrate just how little times have changed, here is an excerpt penned by Etienne de la Boetie in 1548 AD, The Politics of Obedience – Discourse on Voluntary Servitude:

_______________________

Poor, wretched, and stupid peoples, nations determined on your own misfortune and blind to your own good! You let yourselves be deprived before your own eyes of the best part of your revenues; your fields are plundered, your homes robbed, your family heirlooms taken away. You live in such a way that you cannot claim a single thing as your own; and it would seem that you consider yourselves lucky to be loaned your property, your families, and your very lives. All this havoc, this misfortune, this ruin, descends upon you not from alien foes, but from the one enemy whom you yourselves render as powerful as he is, for whom you go bravely to war, for whose greatness you do not refuse to offer your own bodies unto death. He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes, only two hands, only one body, no more than is possessed by the least man among the infinite numbers dwelling in your cities; he has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had no cooperation from you? What could he do to you if you yourselves did not connive with the thief who plunders you, if you were not accomplices of the murderer who kills you, if you were not traitors to yourselves? You sow your crops in order that he may ravage them, you install and furnish your homes to give him goods to pillage; you rear your daughters that he may gratify his lust; you bring up your children in order that he may confer upon them the greatest privilege he knows---to be led into his battles, to be delivered to butchery, to be made the servants of his greed and the instruments of his vengeance; you yield your bodies unto hard labor in order that he may indulge in his delights and wallow in his filthy pleasures; you weaken yourselves in order to make him the stronger and the mightier to hold you in check. From all these indignities, such as the very beasts of the field would not endure, you can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free. Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces

K Lolli: Stellar rant from our man Etienne de la Boetie ! He was 250 yrs before the French Revolution when the people finally woke up by rounding up their tyrants for the guillotine. Interesting how he was NOT advocating "toppling" their tyrants but that people can just will their freedom. Kinda naive. His passion is more in words than deeds but who am I to judge so far from 1548.

Thanks for the excerpt because it shows how the "willfully stupid" have always existed, just like our clueless normies taking so long to wake up to Wash DC criminals.

For now one does need to factor in premium for the metals. I do wonder if and when you may need to convert back into whatever currency will be Govt approved for purchasing. It's the conversion that could be the catch. Should there be some record of what price you paid originally by the tax department ( from seller requirement ) will you get hit with some capital gain tax. Also should you exchange for some property deal using your metal, there is a title for legal proof of registered ownership. The WEFR's are a busy bunch with paper trail. True enough the bullion will logically keep you in a static position of savings or for periods may exceed price discovery or as present create some loss should you have paid in a higher time-frame. It's all about timing shorter/medium term. Long term is age related and will depend also on future conversion factors. A cash holding right now will decline in purchasing power forward. Property is both seizable and taxable by Govt as seen fit. Perhaps weaponry may work as an investment. Everything has some risk.

in the summer of 1964, just before I turned 10, my great granny held out to me a paper dollar in one hand and a Peace dollar in the other, and told me I could take one; which one did I want? Of course I knew the 'value' of a paper dollar, so said I would take that one. She told me it was just paper, but the silver was 'real money', and I should always hold onto it. It did not make much sense to my 9 year old brain; wish I had started stacking sooner. All we had when I was a kid were silver, copper, and nickel coins.

I was born in 1981, so the money was always fiat for as long as I have been alive. Today I stack American Silver Eagles and pre-1965 dimes, quarters and halves. It's funny how I literally spend hundreds of paper dollars to buy back my grandparent's pocket change. I also wish I started stacking sooner. I started in 2017. Better late than never I guess. Your great granny was a very wise lady.

Hi Clif, Thanks for exposing these Wef'rs. No stones unturned and to the point. You, and others like Max Igan are why the Government and Fake News have lost all credibility on a global scale Only the most zombified dupes still tune in for their daily brain scrub. What's left of it.

A man or woman with their children, the body, mind, spirit, flesh, blood, soul people on the land and soil of their state or territory, without ruler and without subject are sovereign. To satisfy a claim of status, standing and jurisdiction we choose a simple Living testimony in the form of an affidavit of truth, signed in red with a right thumb print in red with two witnesses doing the same. We provide a sample.

Birth certificates, state national, straw man, trust money, registering with the de facto are all diversions.

The goal is to return to a Constitutional republican form of government this year, 2022. To remove the de facto and replace it with the de jure. We deposit our Living Testimony with our Jury pool, our Oregon Statewide Jural Assembly. From that moment on it is a Claim of Conusance from our Court in the de jure to any in the de facto. We claim jurisdiction and deny any de facto authority over us.

There are several hundred of us now. All our documents are signed, sealed, stamped and served usually UPU treaty. Not one rebuttal. We are ARTICLE I Section 1 of Oregon's Constitution, Civilian Court of record; Grand jury, trial jury with ARTICLE III Amendment VII, implemented Ex Parte Milligan, nullified martial law, Lieber code/FEMA , Oregon's 2nd amendment well regulated militia.
