Frisby explains why gold continues to re-emerge during times of crisis, how fiat money erodes purchasing power, and why central banks – especially China – are quietly accumulating gold at record levels.As trust in the global financial system weakens, is gold already reclaiming its role at the center of the monetary system?In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- Why gold has outlasted every monetary system in history- The hidden history of gold and its role in human civilization- Why every global reserve currency eventually fails- Central banks buying gold at record levels- China’s true gold holdings and what they could mean- Gold vs fiat: store of value vs system control- Why money printing enables prolonged wars- Gold vs Bitcoin: store of value vs digital system- The future role of gold in the global monetary systemFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Dominic Frisby on X: https://x.com/DominicFrisby Here is the link to Dominic’s previous interview with Michelle:Gold Prices Are Surging – Is This China’s Secret Endgame?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKJdJzx9Gpc&t=1635sSubscribe to Dominic’s substack: https://www.theflyingfrisby.com/ Buy Doninic’s latest book ‘The Secret History of Gold: Myth, Money, Politics and Power’ here: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Gold-Money-Politics-ebook/dp/B0DP8PKRRX Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, breaks down two urgent, closed-door meetings held by the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury with the biggest banks on Wall Street and what they reveal about emerging risks inside the financial system.Two separate threats are now on the Fed’s radar.The first: a powerful new AI model capable of identifying and linking hidden software vulnerabilities faster than human security teams, raising concerns about potential cyberattacks on systemically important banks.The second: a rapidly growing private credit market worth trillions, with exposure spread across complex financial structures and largely outside traditional oversight.Regulators are asking a critical question: where is the risk actually sitting and how exposed is the system?These are risks serious enough to bring the most powerful financial institutions into the room – twice.In this episode of the Real Story with Michelle Makori:- The Fed and Treasury held two emergency meetings with major banks- AI is now capable of uncovering and exploiting hidden system vulnerabilities- Private credit exposure is growing and difficult to track- Redemption restrictions are rising across major firms- Regulators are urgently assessing systemic risk and contagionFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Larry McDonald, Founder of The Bear Traps Report and New York Times bestselling author.McDonald warns that a major inflation shock may be building beneath the surface, driven by prolonged disruptions in global energy flows, massive fiscal spending, and structural imbalances in the system. He outlines why the probability of inflation surging back to 4-7% is rising and why there is now a meaningful risk of double-digit inflation in the U.S.McDonald also breaks down why markets may be dangerously complacent, calling for a potential 20-30% drawdown in equities by September. He explains how the Federal Reserve is increasingly constrained by a $39 trillion debt burden, why financial repression may be the only path forward, and what that means for investors.Beyond inflation and the Fed, McDonald highlights another major risk that markets may not be pricing in – rising tensions with China, including concerns over intellectual property and the global AI race, which could have significant implications for Big Tech and the broader market.In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- Why the risk of runaway inflation is rising- The growing probability of double-digit inflation in the U.S.- Why markets may be driven by positioning, not fundamentals- A potential 20-30% market drawdown by September- The Fed’s dilemma and the impact of $39 trillion in U.S. debt- What “financial repression” means for your portfolio- The China risk markets may be underestimating- Why Big Tech and AI investments could face new pressure- The case for hard assets, commodities, and gold___________________Miles Franklin:📞 Call us: 1-952-929-7006📧 Email us: [email protected]🔗 Website: https://milesfranklin.com/▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MilesFranklinMedia 📱 X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milesfranklinmedia/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/miles-franklin-media/ 📘 Facebook: http://fb.com/MilesFranklinCo 📩 For media inquiries, contact: [email protected]📺 About Miles Franklin MediaJoin Miles Franklin Media for unfiltered financial and economic news and insights.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, breaks down the growing debate over central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) — and what a digital dollar could mean for your financial freedom.As lawmakers in Washington weigh whether to delay or block a CBDC, the implications go far beyond policy. A programmable, trackable digital currency could reshape how money works — from how you spend… to how much control you actually have over it.Globally, more than 130 countries are already exploring CBDCs, with China’s digital yuan leading the way. Supporters argue this is about efficiency, faster payments, and financial inclusion. Critics warn it could open the door to unprecedented financial surveillance and control.So what’s really at stake?In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- What a CBDC actually is and how it works- Why the U.S. is debating a digital dollar now- The global move toward digital currencies- Risks of programmable money and financial control- The case for CBDCs: speed, efficiency, and policy tools- What this could mean for your money and your freedomFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to break down the sharp and unusual moves in gold and silver – and what may really be driving them.Gold saw its worst week in decades. Silver plunged nearly 50% from its January record highs. But according to Schectman, the real story may have little to do with the Fed, the dollar, or inflation and far more to do with market structure, derivatives, and a major shift in global trust.At the same time, China continues to aggressively accumulate both gold and silver, while warnings grow that the petrodollar system is being tested as oil trade begins shifting toward the Chinese yuan.In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- What really triggered silver’s 50% drop- The role of large trading firms and derivatives in price moves- China’s aggressive accumulation of physical metals- Is the petrodollar system beginning to break down?- The rise of the petroyuan and alternative payment systems- Why physical gold may be replacing trust in financial systemsFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman      Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  You can sign up for our newsletter here: https://milesfranklin.com/sign-up/ 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to break down a market mystery: why gold and silver haven’t surged despite escalating war in the Middle East.As tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran escalate and global oil markets face disruption risks, many investors expected precious metals to skyrocket. Historically, geopolitical shocks push investors toward safe-haven assets like gold and silver – yet the metals markets have remained relatively subdued.  Schectman argues the explanation may lie deeper within the structure of financial markets, including how gold ETFs operate, the role of large institutional players, and the growing movement toward physical metal delivery from exchanges.In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- Why gold hasn’t surged despite the Iran war- The role of ETFs and institutional redemption of physical gold- Whether precious metals markets are being “managed”- Silver’s critical role in defense and military technology- The geopolitical battle over oil and the petrodollar system- How war spending could accelerate inflation and debt monetization- Whether the conflict could accelerate de-dollarization- Why physical gold and silver ownership may matter more than everFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, breaks down why silver may be the most undervalued asset in the world right now – despite surging demand across energy, technology, defense, and finance.Silver is essential to modern civilization. It powers solar panels, electric vehicles, semiconductors, AI infrastructure, medical technology, aerospace systems, and advanced military equipment. Yet even after a major rally, silver still trades far below its inflation-adjusted highs and may be dramatically mispriced relative to its strategic importance.At the same time, global inventories are shrinking, industrial demand is accelerating, and physical silver is migrating from Western vaults to Eastern manufacturing economies. Meanwhile, the paper derivatives market continues to dominate price discovery, creating a widening gap between physical supply and financial claims.Is silver becoming one of the most strategically important metals in the world?In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:- The global silver supply crunch- Industrial demand from AI, EVs, and solar- Why silver is critical to national security- COMEX and LBMA inventory declines- Paper silver vs physical silver markets- Silver’s role as a monetary metal- The inflation-adjusted price of silver- Why some believe silver is historically undervaluedFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Mark Moss, Host of 'Mark Moss Show' & Partner at Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, to unpack why gold is surging and Bitcoin is crashing. And what it reveals about the future of money.Moss argues markets are signaling something deeper: a global search for neutral money amid rising geopolitical tension, declining trust in institutions, and the emergence of a parallel financial system.Is Bitcoin simply following its historical cycle or is institutional adoption changing its original purpose? And as the dollar becomes increasingly weaponized in global finance, are we witnessing the early stages of a monetary reset?Michelle challenges Moss on whether Bitcoin has become part of the very system it was designed to replace and how investors should interpret the current market divergence.In this episode of The Real Story:- Why gold is outperforming while Bitcoin declines- Bitcoin’s historical cycles and why pullbacks may be normal- The global search for “neutral money”- The weaponization of the U.S. dollar and shifting trust dynamics- China’s dual monetary strategy and gold settlement trends- Whether institutional adoption changed Bitcoin’s original mission- The rise of a parallel financial system- What a potential global monetary reset could look likeFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Mark Moss on X: https://x.com/1MarkMoss👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Tom Luongo, Publisher of the Gold, Goats n’ Guns Newsletter, to break down what he calls President Trump’s “most ambitious economic reset in modern history” and why a major tariff setback may only shift the battlefield, not end the agenda.Luongo argues the real fight is about sovereignty, collateral, and who controls the plumbing of global capital: the eurodollar system, interest-rate benchmarks, and the pricing power behind money itself. He lays out why gold and silver could be re-priced dramatically in a transition away from hyper-financialization and toward a production-driven, capital-disciplined order. He also discusses why Bitcoin may play a role as cross-border digital collateral.Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Tom Luongo on X: https://x.com/TFL1728 Subscribe to Tom Luongo’s Gold Goats 'n Guns: https://tomluongo.me/00:00 Introduction: Trump’s ‘economic reset’ & the Supreme Court tariff shock04:10 Luongo’s take11:50 Markets, geopolitics, & the bigger chessboard17:20 What ‘systemic reset’ means19:34 Wresting dollar pricing power back from the City of London22:28 Re-collateralizing the world25:22 Foreign influence & NGO money pipes27:16 Hamiltonian reboot31:45 Gold, silver, Bitcoin42:06 Davos, London’s financial plumbing, & institutional capture48:57 Collateral Assets & Europe’s Regulatory Power Grab52:08 Attacking the LBMA58:49 Breaking Paper Gold01:12:46 Endgame Vision01:18:53 Wrap-Up👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with James Rickards, New York Times bestselling author and editor of the Strategic Intelligence newsletter, for a conversation on gold, artificial intelligence, and the growing risk of a global monetary crisis.Rickards explains why a move to $10,000 gold by the end of 2026 would not surprise him, breaking down the math behind gold’s accelerating price moves and why the most explosive phase often comes last. He also warns that the world has not yet entered the “retail frenzy” stage.The discussion then turns to a far more unsettling risk: AI-driven market instability. Rickards outlines how deepfakes, automated trading systems, and algorithmic decision-making could trigger market panic in minutes and why traditional safeguards like circuit breakers may no longer work in an AI-dominated system.Michelle presses Rickards on whether an AI-triggered meltdown could collide with a global monetary reset, amplifying bank failures, liquidity shortages, and systemic risk across the financial system.In this episode of The Real Story:- Why gold at $10,000 may arrive faster than most expect- The math behind gold’s accelerating price moves- Why the retail gold frenzy hasn’t started yet- How AI and deepfakes could trigger market panic- Why circuit breakers may fail in an AI-driven crash- Whether a global monetary crisis or AI meltdown comes first#gold #AI #markets #crisis #reset Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow James Rickards on X: https://x.com/RealJimRickards00:00 Coming Up04:05 Why Gold Has Rallied09:40 The Math & Psychology of a Fast Move to $10K 13:06 Catalysts That Could Turbocharge Gold: Retail Frenzy, Shocks & AI Risk14:52 Gold Revaluation Buzz: Could Trump Reprice U.S. Gold Reserves?31:12 China’s Yuan Ambitions & Hidden Gold38:36 BRICS Settlement Layer40:17 MoneyGPT: AI in Finance & the Hidden Fragility of 'Same' Algorithms44:35 Deepfake Fed Chair Scenario50:37 Why Circuit Breakers Fail in the AI Era53:22 After the Crash01:04:23 Investor Playbook: Real Diversification Across Asset Classes01:07:04 AI Meltdown vs. Global Dollar Shortage & Monetary Reset01:13:55 Final Wrap

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Dr. Arthur Laffer, Founder & Chairman of Laffer Associates and former economic advisor to Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, to discuss the future of the U.S. dollar, sound money, gold, and the Federal Reserve.Laffer – the economist behind the iconic Laffer Curve – warns that the dollar has become an “unhinged paper currency” and explains why fiat money systems always fail without discipline. He walks through the history of U.S. monetary policy, the consequences of abandoning gold, and why controlling interest rates is the wrong tool for fighting inflation.This conversation also explores whether the U.S. can restore credibility to the dollar, the role of gold and stablecoins in a changing monetary world, and whether democracy itself can sustain sound money in an era of debt, deficits, and fiscal dominance.In this episode of The Real Story:- Why unhinged paper currencies never work- How the Fed lost control of the dollar- Sound money vs. rate manipulation- Gold’s return to the global monetary system- Crypto, stablecoins, and private money- Can the dollar still be saved?Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow Dr. Arthur Laffer on X: https://x.com/realartlaffer Follow The Laffer Center on X: https://x.com/LafferCenter 00:00 Coming Up 01:59 Introduction03:57 Core Principles of Good Economic Policy05:41 The Importance of Sound Money06:58 Historical Perspective on US Monetary Policy12:23 The Rise of Cryptocurrencies & Private Money18:10 The Role of Gold in the Global Monetary System43:33 Bretton Woods & the Future of the Dollar46:21 Gold & the Dollar: A Complex Relationship49:24 The Role of Democracy in Economic Policy59:57 The Case for a Gold-Backed Treasury Bond01:11:43 Private Sector vs. Government in Economic Decisions01:13:16 Art Laffer's Optimism & Final Thoughts01:23:48 Closing Remarks and Subscriber GiveawayJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with David Morgan, Founder of The Morgan Report, Author of 'The Silver Manifesto' and producer of the Silver Sunrise documentary. Morgan warns: the world is entering what he calls a “one-in-400-year currency crisis” and fear will be the catalyst that triggers the final, explosive revaluation of gold and silver.Morgan explains why industrial and monetary demand for silver are converging at unprecedented levels, why the structural supply deficit is accelerating, and why 90% of the metals’ bull market move tends to occur in the last 10% of time. He argues that the precious metals market began its secular run in 2000 and the final 2.5-year acceleration window could now be opening.He also breaks down the shock CME outage, the migration of metals trading from West to East, the growing role of India, Russia, and sovereign entities buying silver, and how a global monetary reset could unfold faster than most expect.In this interview, Morgan reveals what gold and silver are signaling about the next phase of the crisis and why it will be remembered for generations.In this episode of The Real Story: Why fear is now the dominant force behind gold and silver demandThe “one-in-400-year currency crisis” Morgan believes is already underwayWhy industrial and monetary silver demand are colliding at the worst possible timeStructural silver deficit: how long it can continue before supply breaksThe 2.5-year “acceleration window” where 90% of the move historically occursCME halt: what it may signal about stress inside the systemHow a monetary reset could unfoldYou can watch David Morgan’s Silver Sunrise documentary here: https://silversunrise.tv/ Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow David Morgan on X: https://x.com/silverguru22 00:00 Coming Up01:31 Silver's Surge03:53 Understanding the Silver Market Dynamics07:43 Industrial & Monetary Demand for Silver13:27 Speculations & Market Manipulations29:11 Global Monetary Reset & Future Predictions34:57 Market Factors Influencing Silver40:48 Gold & Silver Investment Insights42:05 Silver's Market Dynamics & Historical Context46:30 Potential Substitutes for Silver50:07 Recession Impact on Silver Demand51:33 Currency Crisis & Financial System Reset58:33 Future Outlook for Silver and Gold01:06:19 Conclusion & Final Thoughts___________________Miles Franklin:📞 Call us: 1-952-929-7006📧 Email us: [email protected]🔗 Website: https://milesfranklin.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MilesFranklinMedia/ 📱 X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milesfranklinmedia/  💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/miles-franklin-media/  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MilesFranklinCo 📩 For media inquiries, contact: [email protected]___________________Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, its affiliates, owners, anchors, producers or hosts.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Frank Giustra, CEO of Fiore Group and Co-Chair of the International Crisis Group, about what he calls the final phase of the global monetary system. Giustra warns that one more round of quantitative easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve could break the dollar, trigger a complete dumping of U.S. assets, and force a gold-backed reset of the global financial order. He explains why the global order is already collapsing, how China’s gold-based settlement system is accelerating the split, and what Americans should prepare for as fiscal cliffs, debt spirals, and hyperinflation risks converge.In this episode of The Real Story:- One more QE, could spell out the dollar.- The global bond system is broken.- Panic and dumping of U.S. dollars will trigger a gold-anchored reset.- The global order is “dead as a dodo” – echoes of pre-WWI instability.- Giustra’s only solution: buy and hold gold: 10-20% of your portfolio.Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori    Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCoFollow Frank Giustra on X: https://x.com/Frank_Giustra 00:00 Coming Up01:16 Introduction03:52 China's Gold Strategy & Global Impact08:00 US-China Currency Battle12:15 Potential Outcomes & Historical Context22:57 Stable Coins & the Future of US Dollar36:37 The Mystery of Fort Knox Gold37:44 Trump Administration's Interest in Gold41:55 Potential Economic Collapse & Hyperinflation47:51 Global Confidence in the U.S. Dollar55:26 Investment Strategies: Gold & Tangible Assets01:01:37 Final Thoughts Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Dr. Judy Shelton, former Federal Reserve nominee and former senior economic advisor to President Donald Trump, about a potential turning point for the U.S. dollar coming July 4, 2026 – the nation’s 250th anniversary. Dr. Shelton reveals that her idea is gaining traction in Washington – a gold-linked U.S. Treasury bond that could redefine America’s monetary system.Dr. Shelton, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Author of 'Good as Gold,' discusses how these bonds could restore faith in the U.S. dollar, offset currency debasement fears, and bring the dollar back to a form of sound money. Could this be America’s Independence Day Reset – a turning point that re-anchors the dollar to gold and restores monetary trust?Dr. Shelton also tells Makori about a potential Fort Knox gold audit that could be in motion under the Gold Reserve Transparency Act and explores the implications of a gold revaluation, the U.S. strategic position in global finance, and the future of monetary systems anchored to gold. In this interview:- Gold-linked Treasury Trust Bonds- How the Gold Reserve Transparency Act could open Fort Knox for a public audit- The logic behind re-pricing U.S. gold reserves to market value ($42 → $3,900+)- How July 4, 2026 could mark a new monetary era of sound money and discipline- What it means for the U.S. dollar, debt markets, and gold investorsFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori   Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Judy Shelton on X: https://x.com/judyshel00:00 Coming Up…01:18 The Debasement Trade Explained03:10 U.S. Debt & Economic Concerns07:44 Gold's Role in the Economy14:27 Treasury Trust Bonds Proposal26:02 Challenges & Skepticism51:53 Gold Revaluation & U.S. Treasury55:03 International Gold Revaluation Precedents01:01:55 Impact of Gold-Linked Treasuries on Global Politics01:19:07 Historical Context of Gold Standards01:30:30 Bitcoin & Modern Monetary Systems01:35:10 Conclusion & Final ThoughtsJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and President of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, CEO and Founder of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, in the debut episode of ‘The Real Story’ to explore what could be the most radical monetary reset in U.S. history. With the U.S. national debt soaring past $37 trillion and global trust in the dollar crumbling, Schectman reveals a covert plan to reintroduce gold into the U.S. financial system in order to save the Treasury – even if it means “sacrificing” the dollar. Could U.S. government insiders be preparing to reset the system?Makori breaks down Schectman’s thesis:How the BRICS nations are building a gold-backed payment system to bypass SWIFTWhy the U.S. may be secretly stockpiling gold under the guise of national securityAnd how a gold-backed Treasury bond could be launched as early as July 4, 2026This is the real story of de-dollarization, gold revaluation, and the silent financial war already underway.Key Takeaways:- The dollar is being deliberately weakened amid exploding debt and soaring interest payments- U.S. insiders may be preparing a gold-based monetary reset to save the Treasury- Gold imports into the U.S. have quietly surged – who’s buying, and why?- China is rolling out a gold-linked yuan settlement system, bypassing the dollar- The BRICS bloc may have been sabotaged by the BIS, but China is advancing alone- Why the beginning of a new financial system could be less than 12 months awayFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/michellemakoriFollow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo00:00 Introduction: First Episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori01:23 The National Debt Crisis02:40 BRICS Nations and Gold06:53 BRICS' Gold-Backed Currency Plans09:02 China's Global Payment System11:37 The Role of Gold in Global Trade22:19 The Future of Global Financial Systems35:49 U.S. Response to Global Financial Shifts44:11 The Triffin Dilemma and the World Reserve Currency48:18 Military Action54:49 Secret Gold Accumulation & National Security01:00:10 Gold Bonds and Future Economic Plans01:21:22 Gold Revaluation 01:34:39 The Role of Stablecoins01:37:47 Gold vs. Bitcoin Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
