Checkmate: China’s Masterful Play in the Economic Chess Match Against the US Dollar

by Jon Forrest Little, Silver Seek:

China Plans, USA Reacts

While the United States is preoccupied with distractions—be it the latest Netflix fight, celebrity gossip, or political squabbles—China is methodically executing a long-term strategy to bolster its gold reserves. This deliberate approach is evident in several key initiatives: the establishment of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) in 2002 to facilitate gold trade, restrictions on domestic gold production exports, and a focus on importing gold and dore from abroad. The SGE’s premium on gold has driven significant market activity, resulting in a 30% increase in spot prices by 2024 as demand flows eastward.

by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street:

Today, the US national debt jumped by another $61 billion and thereby made it over the $36-trillion mark, to $36.03 trillion, only four months after it had made it over the $35-trillion mark (July 26), and 11 months after it had made if over the $34-trillion mark (December 29), according to data from the Treasury Department today.

Pentagon Missing $824 Billion

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

The Pentagon, funded by you—the taxpayer—has truthfully NEVER passed an audit. Washington uses the Pentagon and Department of Defense as perhaps its favorite money laundering tool. Countless funds and supplies vanish year after year, and no one is ever investigated or punished. The corruption is blatantly in our faces. The most recent gimmick of an audit revealed that the Pentagon is unable to account for an astounding $824 billion missing from its budget. This is the seventh consecutive time that the Department of Defense has at least admitted that the agency “misplaced” hundreds of billions of dollars. Where are the funds?

The Menace of Tariffs

by Lew Rockwell, Lew Rockwell:

Donald Trump is a strong believer in protective tariffs, and this is very bad news for those of us who support the free market. In Trump’s opinion, tariffs are a great idea. Here is what he said about them in an interview last month: “Trump has proposed a 10 percent across-the-board tariff on all imports and 60 percent on goods from China. During Tuesday’s remarks, he singled out imported cars for higher trade duties, saying he would slap a100, 200 or 300 percent tariff on cars made in Mexico. He also floated imposing 50 percent tariffs on goods to force companies to relocate operations to the U.S. to avoid the penalty.

Inflation: Your Role as a Milk Cow

by Jeff Thomas, International Man:

Traditionally, inflation has been defined as “an increase in the amount of currency in circulation.” Such an increase almost always causes an increase in the cost of goods and services, since, more plentiful currency units lowers their rarity, as compared to the supply of goods and services, which remains roughly the same. Therefore, it shouldn’t be surprising if a 20% increase in the amount of currency units translates into a 20% increase in the price of goods and services.

Gold-Backed or Bust: Judy Shelton’s Plan to Tame the Fed and Restore the Dollar

by Paul D. Mueller, Activist Post:

Judy Shelton has spent her career advocating for sound money.

Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, makes an up-to-date case for reinstituting a gold standard. Her intriguing conclusion is that the dollar can be reconnected to gold by simply issuing federal treasury bonds with gold-redeemability clauses.

My group had the highest and best bid. This bankruptcy judge is corrupted, and he must go to prison.
