What Is Dedollarization & Why Are Countries Dumping The US Dollar?

Dedollarization is a term that refers to the process wherein countries tend to reduce their reliance on the US dollar as a reserve currency, medium of exchange, and also a unit of account. 

While it’s a no-brainer that the US dollar has long held a dominant position in the global financial system, this recent shift towards dedollarisation represents a critical transformation with significant implications for the future of international trade, investment, and monetary policy.

As the world becomes more and more interconnected, the need for a stable and equitable financial system is paramount. And with that, the overreliance on the US dollar as a reserve currency has to some extent led to vulnerabilities and imbalances in the global economy. These factors, combined with the growing economic power of emerging markets and their desire for a more diversified and resilient financial architecture, have spurred many countries’ interest in going ahead with dedollarization.

Like Germany after WWI, no one was discussing hyperinflation until it was too late. Then everyone was talking about it. The analogy is simple: the world is quickly getting off of the petrodollar and dedollarization will make your wealth worthless.

Evidence shows Russian mercenary group Wagner is arming militia leader in Sudan

The Russian mercenary group Wagner has been supplying the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in fights against the Sudanese army, according to CNN.

Sudan has fallen into fierce fighting, edging on civil war in recent weeks as two generals vie for control of the country.

CNN cited sources in the country and satellite imagery in Libya, where Wagner-controlled bases show high activity.

Wagner, which is headed by Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been an influential part of Russian influence worldwide and in the war in Ukraine. The group has been accused of committing some of the most gruesome atrocities of the war.

Wagner mercenaries have a significant presence in Syria, Libya and West Africa. Russian interest in Sudan has peaked in recent years as the Kremlin targets gold to dodge Western sanctions.

Observations

Here is the original (and longer) Glenn Beck video from 2020 courtesy of Fran Porretto:

I have a request for readers of this site: if you marginalize the information being presented because you do not like the message or the messenger, please leave. I will continue to delete your comments or I will respond with facts.

The frustration of Glenn Beck from three years ago is familiar to many of us. And yet we do nothing. Why? One man cannot defeat this evil that is the government of the United States. The one man who did the most to expose and fight this evil is now vilified for not doing enough or being perfect in his actions. And Donald Trump had infinitely more resources than Mike Lindell and other wealthy Americans.

Do we give up? Voting is not the solution. Is vigilantism the solution? A bounty paid from an anonymous Bitcoin account for the assassination of traitors would put the fear of God in them. We know Gen. Milley, Hillary Clinton, Antony Blinken, Joe Biden are all guilty and should be hanged. But good Christians know this is not the path.

Here is a scenario:

The puppet pResident Biden initiates WWIII as planned by his New World Order handlers. Russia and China win. Biden surrenders what is left of the United States and the victors arrest the Deep State criminals. Nuremberg II trials are held and those found guilty are hanged.

I understand that the guilty will pay for their sins in the afterlife. In this case, millions of people have been murdered for money and power by a planned pandemic and endless wars. The Lord is the ultimate arbiter and we must follow His plan. Even if He directs us to fight evil directly.

In the above scenario of WWIII, I will not fight on the side of evil. This is a very real decision that good people must face.

Think about the message from Glenn Beck from 2020. Think about how much worse we are three years later. How much longer will evil triumph? Pray for guidance and an end to tyranny. But do not think that apathy, misinformation or hope will win this war.

The Spike

A growing number of scientists are sounding the alarm about the risks of both COVID and its cures

Dr. Paul Marik, the founder and chief scientific officer of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, and the second-most-published critical care physician in the world, told Tablet that the only substance he’s aware of as toxic as the SARS-CoV-2 spike is cyanide. “Cyanide kills you quickly, spike kills you over a prolonged period of time. It’s truly astonishing the things it does.” Marik thinks that spike is the primary driver of COVID’s virulence, which he saw firsthand while treating severely ill patients during the first wave of the pandemic. “It is the most vicious disease I have ever seen. People have said this is like the flu, and it’s no big deal. Let me tell you … It is an extremely evil disease. It’s difficult to treat. It responds poorly and it kills people slowly over time.

Veteran viral pathologist Dr. Gerard Nuovo, a retired professor at Ohio State University and an active researcher of COVID-19, was similarly shocked after looking at tissue samples from people who died from the illness. “I said to myself, I have never seen a fatal viral infection with so much viral protein in the target organ, which as you know is the lung.”

Here are some of the things that the spike protein has been found to have the potential to do.

In the cardiovascular system: One segment of spike can signal the cells of blood vessels in the lungs to grow, causing “thickened” vessel walls typical of pulmonary hypertension, a condition that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood into the lungs; that same fragment, S1, can damage the cells which line the inside of every blood vessel in the body including the lungs; can damage the cells in your heart which work in concert with those cells; can cause the heart to become fibrotic; and can, says this 2022 paper, even contribute to the development of myocarditis, an inflammatory condition of the heart muscle which weakens it, and can cause sudden death in recovered patients. The Cleveland Clinic estimates that the survival rate for myocarditis is 80% after one year and 50% after five.

In the blood: Spike can deform our clotting cells—or platelets—sometimes irreversibly activating them; it binds to blood clotting proteins and creates clots that are “structurally abnormal”; it can cause microclots from red blood cells clumping together that deplete blood oxygen levels. David Scheim, an independent researcher who co-authored a study published in December 2022 about those microclots with a team from France’s famed Méditerranée Infection Institute in Marseille, told Tablet that their experiment revealed the red blood cell clumping “is actually visible [to the naked eye], it forms a film so you don’t even need a microscope, you just add the spike to a suspension of red blood cells and you see this clumping.”

In the brain: The S1 fragment of spike has been shown to move straight across the blood brain barrier, the all-important gatekeeper of the brain, in humanized mice. Once it’s in, the spike can damage cells that line the walls of blood vessels in the brain, lead to memory loss, or disrupt the mitochondria of similar brain blood vessel cells, potentially triggering “a more severe form of stroke.” Perhaps more ominously, certain sequences on the S1 portion of the spike are able to bind to amyloid proteins that have been known to cause severe neurological disease. The proteins that spike is able to bind are related to the development of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Creutzfeldt-Jacob, an irreversible, and fatal brain disease. Additionally, the spike itself may be considered an amyloid, a misfolded protein that can grow and form fibrous plaques. Think of the 1958 horror classic The Blob, but at a cellular level.

As many of us have been saying for years now, it’s not just the flu, bro. The disease, and the vaccine, are bioweapons that were created with the express intent to kill as many people as possible.

We don’t need governments. We need Christ.

  Yesterday’s essay brought only one comment and a single ping. Perhaps our Gentle Readers were nonplussed by it. I could hardly blame them; it was a “passion piece,” the sort that writes itself with the fervor the subject aroused in me. If it left readers wondering when the men in the white coats toting butterfly nets would come to call at the Fortress, I’d understand.

  The methods of the State are simple: its masters get what they want by employing fear and greed. These two assets are the whole of the State’s arsenal. Quoth Lysander Spooner:

     All political power, as it is called, rests practically upon this matter of money. Any number of scoundrels, having money enough to start with, can establish themselves as a “government;” because, with money, they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort more money; and also compel general obedience to their will. It is with government, as Cæsar said it was in war, that money and soldiers mutually supported each other; that with money he could hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. So these villains, who call themselves governments, well understand that their power rests primarily upon money. With money they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. And, when their authority is denied, the first use they always make of money, is to hire soldiers to kill or subdue all who refuse them more money.

     Interpret soldiers in the above broadly, to include all who are willing to use coercive force against others.

     The methods are always fear and greed. The point is always power.

Are You One?

Are you one of the people who understands that the US dollar is quickly becoming worthless? Are you aware of the ongoing banking collapse of small and medium banks? Are you satisfied with 0.01% interest on your money? Can you explain why taxpayers bailed out companies and people who lost more that the FDIC guaranteed amount when Silicon Valley Bank closed?

If you have any faith in the fiat currency of the United States or the upcoming FEDNOW, please explain your reasoning since the whole world sees the loss of its reserve currency status. Or comment on the following article:

USD is suffering ‘stunning collapse’ as world’s reserve currency

Markets need to pay closer attention to the de-dollarization trend since the greenback is losing its power as a reserve currency faster than many analysts are noticing, according to Stephen Jen, CEO and co-CIO of Eurizon SLJ Capital.

The dollar’s loss of its reserve currency status accelerated last year when the greenback was used against Moscow as part of the sanction package after Russia invaded Ukraine. In 2022, the USD’s share as a global reserve currency fell at ten times the average pace of the past 20 years, Jen said in a report.

Convert your fiat dollars into something tangible like precious metals, food, tools, supplies or whatever else you will need when you realize that the Republic has fallen to evil and no one is coming to save us. At least no one in a physical sense.

Peter Schiff: A Death Blow Is Coming For The Dollar And People Will Run To Gold

There has been a lot of talk lately about de-dollarization. As just one example, the BRICS nations recently announced they are developing a new currency. Peter Schiff recently appeared on Commodity Culture with Jessie Day to talk about the trajectory of the dollar. He said that the death blow for the dollar is coming. And when it does, people will run to gold.

There has been plenty of speculation about de-dollarization recently, but is it a real threat, or is all of the talk just hyperbole?

Peter said, “None of it is hyperbole, and all of it will come to pass.”

The only thing that’s surprising about the dollar’s reserve status is that it still has it. Despite everything we’ve done, we still have it.”

NC mom says man shot husband, 6-year-old daughter while kids were playing outside

WCNC Charlotte reports Gaston County police said Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is wanted for the double shooting on Grier Street just south of Gastonia.

According to neighbors, it all stemmed from kids playing and a basketball rolling into the suspect’s yard, though police haven’t confirmed those details, citing the ongoing investigation.

Ashley Hilderbrand said her husband and six-year-old daughter were the two people shot, while Hilderbrand was grazed by a bullet.

“It was very scary,” Hilderbrand said. “My daughter actually got to come home last night. She just had a bullet fragment in her cheek. Still, scary, but my husband, he’s still in the hospital. He’s in trauma. I’m doing the best I can. I just wish they’d catch this guy.”
