A Flock of Black Swans Is Forming & the Power Elite Knows Exactly Why | Thornton & Schectman

Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, for a deep-dive into the systemic fragilities building beneath the surface of the global financial system and why a flock of black swans is forming all at once.Thornton explains how central banks, political elites, and entrenched power structures have spent decades inflating bubbles, suppressing interest rates, weaponizing currencies, and expanding government controls. Now those policies are converging into a historic breaking point.From the breakdown of the dollar-led order to BRICS building parallel payment rails… from exploding sovereign debt to the yen carry trade… from stress in the banking system to the widening disconnect between derivatives and physical gold & silver – the “unknown unknowns” are piling up.According to Thornton, none of this is random. The elites know exactly why these black swans are multiplying and why the public will be the last to see it.In this episode of Little by Little:- Why multiple black swan risks are emerging at the same time- The role of central banks and political elites in engineering systemic fragility- BRICS, gold accumulation, and the rise of alternative settlement systems- Silver as a “critical mineral” and the strategic battle over supply- How stablecoins and the GENIUS Act may fast-track a U.S. monetary resetFollow Miles Franklin Media on X: ⁠https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo⁠Follow Andy Schectman on X: ⁠https://x.com/ASchectman⁠ Follow Dr. Mark Thornton on X: ⁠https://x.com/DrMarkThornton⁠ Follow the Mises Institute: ⁠https://mises.org/subscribe-newsletter⁠ ⁠Get your free copy of Hayek for the 21st Century⁠00:00 Coming Up01:06 Introduction01:49 Ludwig Von Mises & Austrian Economics04:06 US Dollar & Global Trade Dynamics10:03 Gold & Precious Metals Market16:41 Silver's Strategic Importance20:00 BRICS & Global Financial Shifts25:54 Potential Financial Crises31:48 Cryptocurrencies & Government Regulation37:30 Conclusion & ResourcesJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
