Individual investors see the US National Debt and think gold offers an alternative to the dollar. Democrats will print even more without even considering how to reduce the debt. Republicans at least talk about it, though they also are increasing the debt.

Truth doesn’t always wait for proof. In a world driven by power and secrecy, what is publicly denied is often privately mastered. The United States, with its unmatched scientific and technological depth, may already possess capabilities far beyond what it reveals — including the synthesis of gold in controlled environments. But such knowledge, if disclosed, could shake global markets and rewrite the foundation of wealth itself. History has shown that silence often hides the greatest truths, and by the time the world learns them, the game has already been played.

PFOF and Naked Shorting are causing all of the banking consolidation and are behind the vacuum of FED printed money for whatever they want. These are the hedge fund managers that want to force digital Id's and social credit systems so they can retain generational wealth while every other person is stuck renting and paying monthly for everything.

I once believed success meant working around the clock, but The Philosophy of Smart Investing by Jennafer Beaver Turner completely shifted my perspective. As a financial advisor, she demonstrates that lasting wealth comes from smart decisions and sound strategy—not burnout. If you’re serious about building financial prosperity, look up Jennafer Beaver Turner and discover how she can help you thrive. 🌟

This is just a small snippet of his full conversation. what he is talking about, is that tariffs are crushing the US economy and ramping up inflation, which are causing the US dollar to drop significantly, against all other major currencies. Foreign investors are selling off their prior held US Treasuries and not buying any newly issued treasuries, and are instead buying gold. Foreign central banks are really selling off their US treasuries, and are buying record levels of gold. The entire world knows that America in the upcoming years under Trumps policies & tariffs, is going to be a financial disaster. So they all want to significantly reduce their exposure to US treasuries and the US dollar. This is just going to make US interest rates and inflation go higher. Basically, everything Trump touches…. fairly soon DIES !!

Ken Griffin (Citadel) was saved by the buy buttons being removed from so called "meme stock" buyers. They were exposing naked shorts. The casino is rigged.

the younger generation is calling bullshit on money that's manipulated by a non elected cartel. We are also calling bullshit on funding wars for other countries and spending money like drunken sailors while watching our taxes go up. We want change and we want it now.
