I tell you may you live in interesting times I think this is interesting spooky and Empire changing I think we're watching the end of the American Empire there's a law called gresham's law and gresham's law says bad money drives out good money like this is bad money here it's called the US dollar I call it toilet paper today and this is good money here this is silver and this is gold so what happened in 71 they took the gold out of this toilet paper right here and in ' 64 they took it out of our
silver coins so gresham's law is in action today America has been kind of a bully because we had the reserve currency of the world the thing we're going to be talking about today is what happens if and when Mexico joins the bricks what are the repercussions what are the shock waves what's going to happen or as just say in Hispanic kipasa what's going to happen yeah there's a lot to talk about I mean the bricks formation is something that I have been singularly focused on for the last few years certainly and I think it's really
very very very important and you know I'd like to first throw out that so many things are happening all around us and while they're significant these individual events in and of themselves have less significance than when you put them all together and the things that are happening inside the blunders if you will that are happening inside the United States only exacerbate the consequences that are happening and the realities that are happening outside the Border in other words the US blunders I believe are inspiring the rest of the world the International Community to unite in opposition
to it and in joint establishment of mutually beneficial platforms of politics and economy and trade and currency and finance and culture and education and International Security and all of these things that as you mentioned the bullying and the sanctions and the hegemony and the hypocrisy of the West I believe is coming to an end and it is those types of actions by the West that I think has SW under the good graces that we have had for many years of the International Community America has pissed off the rest of the world we've been the bully
with this thing we're now a credit-based economy in other words we print fake money and we spread it throughout the world but the rest of the world is actually producing the food the gold the silver the machinery and all this so finally the rest of the world said enough enough I remember years ago Opera South Africa a I love South Africa but they joined the bricks Brazil Russia India China South Africa that was the original bricks and now they're gaining force and momentum and I think people have heard the word bricks but very few people
know what caused the bricks to form Andy what does it mean to us because otherwise so what you know I think by the end of this discussion people will certainly understand it but you're right Brazil Russia India China South Africa comprise the bricks these are countries that are uniting in common interests and doing it without the bullying if you will of the West West Hy and they're beginning to set themselves apart from the rest of the world why do you think they're so important today I mean they're the most powerful force in the world today
well and that's kind of what I'm getting at this Coalition of countries standing up against the Western heemy and that's really what it is it's not just Brazil Russia India China and South Africa you have well over a dozen countries that have already applied such as Algeria and Argentina and Iran the United Arab Emirates Nicaragua turkey Indonesia senagal Nigeria Afghanistan Egypt Kazakhstan and the biggest one of all Saudi Arabia formally applied to the bricks Nations so when you talk about this growing cohesion of countries there are others that they already set their eyes on and
in Brazil's backyard you have Argentina in Latin America you have Nicaragua all of these countries and their neighbors that are growing together are forming a massive massive very imposing not only from a GDP but you put all these countries together and their military might is very very strong as well and those are the bricks plus now they're talking about adding more countries including Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Panama Bolivia Chile Cuba Ecuador Peru Uruguay Venezuela azerbajan Mongolia Kazakhstan Turkmenistan usbekistan Pakistan Sri Lanka and Vietnam the list goes on and on and on what that
means is right now they're dealing in this 1944 this became the reserve car of the world right after World War II at the Breton Woods New Hampshire like I said this is toilet paper today because this is now fake money so the rest of the world is saying enough of you sending us your toilet paper you take our materials you take our production you take this and you send us this trash here so that's Andy is talking about is so crucial average person can't see it so now can you go into the belt and Road
Project equally as important to being forced to take the dollar is if you were on the wrong side on the western ideology then you get sanctioned you get kicked out of Swift and this the weaponizing of the dollar I think is what has accelerated the union of all of these countries the Swift system is basically the oxygen that is needed for crossborder payments to breathe in other words you're not allowed to send your money from one country to another unless it routes through the Swift system which is basically a computer system if you will or
a message board system that allows Banks to trade money back and forth and clearing through a US settlement bank system so in order to trade dollars you have to have access to the Swift system and if you are kicked out of the Swift system you cannot trade dollars and if you can't trade dollars you can't buy oil and you can't sell your goods globally in essence it isolates you well unless of course you're trading your Iran and you're trading your oil to China for the Petro youan bond which is immediately convertible but didn't America exercise
Swift they punish a whole bunch of countries just recently absolutely no better example than what they did with Russia kicking them out of Swift and you saw what Russia did in retaliation they are selling their goods in gold and in rupe and for Ruble and in for Yuan and they are sidest stepping it is this bullying as you said at the beginning it is this hypocrisy that is making everyone come to the table I want to mention one thing that's really very interesting we talk about the glue right the glue that makes all of this
stick is the backing of a new system with commodities such as gold so check this out the gold Holdings as a percentage of reserves these are all countries that have either applied to the bricks or are already in it Venezuela 82% of the reserves are in Gold usbekistan 65% Kazakhstan 63 Bolivia 55 Belo 40 turkey 29 turkey was the largest importer of gold in the world last year and has continued being the largest importer of gold and as of last year when I put these numbers down at the very end of the year turkey had
29% of their reserves in gold and that's grown Pakistan 29 kistan 22 these countries are accumulating the blue that will make cohesion stick now when we talk about the Belt Road initiative which is very important to the whole thing right there's several groups that are all tied together like this the Belt Road the Shanghai cooperation organization the bricks and the Eurasian economic Union the Belt Road initiative has every one of the 13 OPEC producing countries on the Belt Road the largest infrastructure project in human history it's all connecting through trade routes if you will for
example the north south Corridor that connects from Iran to India and allows Iran and Russia and India to trade without going around Waters that are patrolled by the US Navy it allows them to have the ability to reach each other much more quickly and without the Western influence and all of these roots and all of these Agreements are bringing the world together against the West it was called The Silk Road it's the exact same thing it's more than that too you have this deal and if you look at what China is doing you know right
now you have Iran and Iraq of all countries who've hated each other for centuries are currently in a broker deal by China in the final stages of the first rail connection between the two states in history and they can easily connected a 1500 kmet Railway they can also connect Syria and Lebanon all part of the Belt Road initiative you have other Gulf States that are coming together like the UAE and Kuwait but all of this none of them more important than what just happened and that is the Chinese mediated Iran Saudi Arabia deal where they're
now building for the first time ever they're putting embassies in each other's countries they are coming together in what is mutual cooperation where everyone economically cooperates in mutually beneficial ways with the view not only towards building common Destiny but this represents a massive nail in the western hemony where all of these countries where the West has really precipitated and this constant bickering China's coming in and building infrastructure in Africa in South America in Saudi Arabia in Iran in Iraq in all of these countries they come in they build infrastructure and they are creating cooperation and
that's why the name of the company the big 80 pound Milla gorilla behind of it the Shang cooperation organization they're the Milla behind the whole thing where it used to be the dollar they're all coming together when you put all of these together you're talking 80% of human population coming together against the Western agemy and the glue that will make it stick is the pledging of Commodities to the system the Shanghai cooperation organization has told the world that they want to have a settlement currency for the entire Eurasian land mass backed by gold see for
years we've been able to ship this toilet paper throughout the world Gram's law when bad money chases out good money so what the US has been doing for a long time they've been shipping people toilet paper and they've been shipping us Commodities like we grain oil food gold silver finished goods and things like this the world said we've had enough of this and so years ago when I was in South Africa I heard South Africa join what are these guys and now it's coming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and what Annie is talking
about the Bel and road is not really a Road trade routs or Supply routs they can be water trade it's called The Sea Roots also that's what I went to school to do is drive ships for the supply chains throughout the world so all the people that been giving America cheap or wonderful goods for toilet paper it's coming to an end is that what you're saying Andy it is and the Belt Road initiative those trade routes the maritime channels the bridges the railways the roads will only be patrolled by military and by Commerce this is
the Panama Canal on steroids and when you realize that there's 150 plus countries on the Belt Road you're talking all of these entities together comprise well north of 80% of human population this is a big deal because these entities are not going green and we are and when you see Saudi Arabia join this Union not only the bricks but the Shanghai cooperation organization and with the rest of OPEC on the Belt Road it starts to come together like who they're going to say to the world hey we're done with just taking dollars when that happens
it's a very big problem and that's why you're seeing rumors of Japan New Zealand Australia and now Mexico signing up for the bricks Nations or for their economic Union this is a big deal it's little by little by little by little all of these pieces which in and of themselves are not as relevant until you look at the big picture and you're talking the majority of human population joining together in a drive for prosperity and one that is based upon Mutual benefit rather than being under the thumb of the West and the Western influence deception
betrayal collusion and those days are coming to an end we've betrayed the rest of the world we've given them fake money we screw them if they don't on the Swift system or a bully out there I mean look what the European Union just did with the sanction money that they took from Russia they didn't just sanction it they now confiscated it and this is a very very very big problem I think that is only exacerbating and that's why I often wonder in the recesses of my mind late at night when I'm laying in bed was
this all intended when you weaponize the dollar and make make everyone think geez am I on the wrong side of the West I better make alliances with the other countries who are all moving away from that system and you have to ask yourself when we have a $31 trillion debt 76 trillion unfunded in Social Security about 130 or 40 trillion in funded and unfunded liabilities and so is the game over by doing what they are doing were they finding a scapegoat XI jingping Saudi Arabia Russia the OPEC countries are they finding a villain that they
can point to where most people in this country that's all they need to hear and they'll believe it instead of realizing that the brain dead monetary policy of the West and our bullying of the world has led us to this point and I think that's what is bringing everyone to the table and what makes it work will be the backing of Commodities and the immutability and veracity of those Commodities if they do it right pledge to a distributed Ledger with auditing done and transparency and like that it's over because the world will dump dollars if
they no longer need to own them to buy oil and flock to a system Mutual beneficial understanding and cooperation and transparency so what's happening now are the bricks are saying no more of this garbage because you've trting this stuff that's called counterfeiting you know that'd be like me going to your restaurant and giving you fake money and you're giving me real food real service you have labor cost taxes and all this stuff but I keep giving you fake money and that's what the United States has been doing for years now especially since 64 and 71
when they took silver replaced our coins and gold replaced the this fake dollar that's what Andy is talking about and the world is going to say we're going to put the world on a real money a real commodity oil food things like this scheduled so this thing is trash that's what you're saying is an ending it's 100% what I'm saying and for the first time you know only a decade ago and especially in and of themselves these countries would not have ever been able to stand up to the West that's why you hear people say
well it's the cleanest shirt and the dirty laundry hamper or as Doug Casey says that the prettiest mayor at the slaughter house that being the dollar no one has ever been able to stand up against the west but this Union of countries joining together for Mutual beneficial relationships mending broken fences centuries old Iraq and Iran Saudi Arabia and Iran these countries that have hated each other are now ring against the old saying my enemy's enemy is my friend and Iran and Saudi Arabia have just on behalf of China's brokering have just started new relations putting
embassies in each other's countries they are beginning to find a common ground and that's the thing is that they're finding a way to cooperate and that's the most important thing is that that's what the Shanghai cooperation organization the Belt Road initiative and the bricks is about that's the rallying Pride let's all get over here against the West against the big schoolyard bully but the way to make it work is to make everyone have equal footing like if you look at the bricks and I don't know how many years each one has but their presidency rotates
it's not one Central player like China it rotates they're already getting that right you allow everyone equal footing and how do you do do that everyone pledges a commodity just like we were told is going to happen with the bricks currency everyone pledges a commodity to the system and using distributed Ledger technology to show the veracity of it so is distributed Ledger do I call that blockchain or am I yes they will use blockchain to show what it each country has pledged to the system that's a deception betrayal collusion that's the world we live in
right now and that's what is fostering this Union of countries let's say Mexico do you remember in the 60s there was a thing called the Cuban Missile Crisis and that's because you know Havana or Cuba went Russian and they were putting missile bases there so now today you're telling us that Mexico who's closer than Cuba and they're a big trading partner a lot of food and things that comes from Mexico what does it mean if and when and I think is more when Mexico joins the bricks what's going to happen what's the ripple effect from
that first of all they're the second largest economy in south or Latin America and you know I think you could take this out use your mind's eye and late this out let's just say they do join the bricks and this puts a lot of things into context when you think about it this way let's just say 5 6 7 8 years from now that they're deeply entrenched with the bricks Nations they're in with the bricks they're trading with the bricks they still are friendly with the United States but they're trading with the bricks they're using
the brick settlement currency and let's just say that the bricks have some sort of like a NATO but it's with the bricks can you only imagine the way that we would feel having military bases right outside Texas on the border of Mexico with Chinese and Russian military I'm not saying this is going to happen I'm just thinking out loud but put that into context when you think about what Russia's dealing with with NATO encroaching and you can understand the way they feel now I am not condoning War I am not condoning anything I'm just saying
think about this in a broader context what if something like that happened that part of this deal because the Shanghai cooperation organization is also a military cooperation organization that's part of it so what if that happened and you have military bases right on the US Mexico border that are bricks United now maybe that's way out there maybe that doesn't happen but I think when you talk about this Union between Mexico and the bricks Nations it's another piece like in the game of Jenga when you keep pulling out pieces against the Western gmany bang something Falls
it's going to one of these days it falls but the start when Mexico joins the bricks we're going to have to start dealing in Chinese crypto yuan is what you're saying well it could very well be yes I mean there's still a long way to go from applying to being accepted in a full member so let's not confuse that there's a long way to go but the fact that they are moving in that direction the fact that we hear rumors that Australia New Zealand and Japan are moving in that direction it's just more Nails in
the coffin of the western gem it's a big deal it's a huge deal if all of a sudden the majority of the world is trading in a new settlement currency and the dollar is rendered worthless either the US has to Pivot and do something of their own with a gold backed like we talked about before a gold back international monetary fund special drawing rights or will get with the game in order to trade with the majority of the world it will be in a new currency that's beyond my brain right now at the banks that
just went down what was Janet yelling saying so if I have a constituent in Oklahoma who has $5 million in a regional bank and it goes under will he be bailed out and she said no you just bailed out Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank why would you not bail out all of these Regional Banks and she basically said it would have to be super majority decision from the fomc the FDIC and me Janet Yellen where we will decide if those banks that are not systemically too big to fail get bailed out or not it
will be whether or not we believe that the systemic reaction from that bank going down will create too big of Ripple effects we'll take the opposite side of that if you live in a small town where the bank has helped you build a business or helped you get from where you were to where you are and you have your life savings in that bank how safe do you feel with that money in the bank after what she just said probably not very so you're going to yank that money out and send it over to Bank
of America or Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan or whever it is and have all the money concentrated in a handful of banks because these Regional Banks unless they're systemically connected evidently they felt that Signature Bank was and Silicon Valley Bank was if not goodbye you're done anyway what Andy is talking about here is called The Communist Manifesto 1848 our banks in America are going to a centralize banking as close to communism because we don't have capitalism anymore I call it Marxist monetary Theory so what is mmt it's just basically you print as
much money as you want to solve the problem but that doesn't work in a globalized economy where the rest of the world says why do we want your dollar that is worthless and that's why all of these countries are using Commodities in particular gold and its revaluation by the bank of international settlements in 2019 as a highquality liquid asset in essence tier one they're accumulating things that are real and they are going to use them to back a new system while the West we're folling right now the bank of international settlements is a Central Bank
Central Bank that is correct and what they said in 2017 was that gold is now money they see what's coming and they're moving ahead of this and the rest of us in this country are concerned about things that are just completely missing the ball when the rest of the world is growing together in a very tight-knit group you know which that parted us at Savers or losers and what Andy is talking about why I've said that years and years and ago 25 years ago now yeah if you save in dollars you will be a loser
you don't want to say you keep your gold at home because you'll be visited immediately you know me it's not the brightest thing to do if you can hold it yourself and remove all counterparty risk remember gold and silver are some of the only assets in the world that are not simultaneously someone else's liability like that dollar like your deposit in a bank like a security like a bond those are all have counterparty risk holding gold and silver in your own possession is complete and total removal of counterparty risk and I believe you have a
greater chance of being ripped off by the system by the banks by everything than you do by someone coming to your home thinking you have gold and silver in it so the whole point here is this we don't save this we store gold and silver coins if a push comes to a shove and this thing I don't know what's going to happen to this thing CU it's toilet paper but our employees are protected because we want to make sure that our most valuable asset which are the people that work for us are taken care of
if you're not a contrarian you're going to be a victim and if all of your wealth is held in dollars and dollar based assets you're destined to go broke or have your money taken from you by a bank that has made poor decisions and goes upside down get prepared check it out do a little research look at some of the things that we were talking about then Google them and read about it and I think you'll see that this is getting real and the speed at which it is increasing is really the frightening part not
to brag but I own tons of this how much I own the mines you own the mines I'm a capitalist right I bought the biggest gold mine in America last year last July it's in Utah so you're literally mining your own gold amen
