#504 ART - Gold, Globalism, and the Coming Monetary Reset

Paratruther

The signs are everywhere – gold surpassing $3,300 per ounce, Bitcoin breaking $100,000, nations actively de-dollarizing, and nationalist movements sweeping across the globe. These aren't isolated incidents but manifestations of what historians Neil Howe and William Strauss identified as "The Fourth Turning" – a predictable 80-year cycle where established systems crumble and new orders emerge.
Today's transmission delves into this profound historical shift happening before our eyes. We examine how the transition from globalization to nationalism represents the surface-level politics, while underneath, something far more significant is occurring – the rise of technocracy. As Patrick Wood notes, the technocrats have been patiently building their infrastructure for decades, and now the coup d'état is underway on a global scale.
The mathematics of our financial situation doesn't care about political affiliations. With U.S. debt-to-GDP approaching 130% and public trust in institutions at historic lows, we face an inevitable monetary reset. This isn't alarmism but a clear-eyed assessment based on historical patterns and current economic indicators. The dollar has lost 99% of its purchasing power against gold since 1971 – not hyperinflation in the traditional sense, but certainly "hyperinflation adjacent."
For those paying attention, this Fourth Turning presents not just challenges but opportunities. Converting fiat currency into tangible assets like precious metals (particularly in smaller, tradable denominations), developing self-sufficiency skills, and securing essential supplies creates resilience against the coming volatility. Most importantly, focusing on internal transformation rather than external events positions you to navigate these changes effectively.
The world is undergoing a massive restructuring, and understanding these cycles gives you tremendous advantage.
