Trump’s Warning To Britain

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London.

The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks). It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat.

With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.  Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Iran Opens Strait Of Hormuz!

Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a steep decline in the price of oil. All other markets, including precious markets and the stock market, surged on the news.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi announced the reopening of the Strait, and President Donald Trump confirmed, saying, “Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for full passage. Thank you.”

Those predicting the Iran hostilities would necessarily lead to World War III now have egg on their faces. We’ll see over the next week whether the peace holds, and what steps or negotiations can be expected next. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

Death Spiral To Accelerate?

Even if the Iran War gets sorted out quickly, there will be some extreme consequences, says John Rubino, a precious metals advocate and financial analyst. Rubino looks for the American currency to continue to lose its value, and hyperinflation to become more persistent, perhaps even at an accelerating pace.

Rubino thinks you will be seeing $15,000 per ounce gold and $300 per ounce silver, but he can’t say exactly when. He just knows it will happen because with fiat currencies, history always repeats.

Rubino says, “This sounds crazy now, but they are probably going to happen. That is just how currency collapses play out. We have seen hundreds of currencies in human history that have died. Just Google hyperinflation, and you will see a list of name brand countries that destroyed their currency. They rode them down to virtually zero. It’s hyperinflation, and something like that is coming. . .. We should not even think about it in terms of dollars, just buy it (physical gold and silver) to have real money.” He discusses the situation with Greg Hunter on USAWatchdog.com.

This Is A Rally You Do Not Sell

Precious metals advocate Bill Holter says you’ll want to hold onto your gold and silver for the next couple of months. Prices for both have been surging since the corner seemed to turn in the Iran War. Silver had hit a low in the $60s, but is now back in the $70s. Holter says we’ll see the price continue to increase, perhaps reaching $100 an ounce, but at least nipping into the $90s.

The same plotline will apply for gold. It’s been leaning down, but now surging up again to about $4,750 an ounce. Holter sees it climbing again to at least $5,000.

Gold and silver, he says, “are going to be your only place to hide,” because other markets will plummet or remain chaotic. He’s interviewed by Greg Turner in a new edition of USAWatchdog.com.

Volatile Markets Loom Ahead

Financial analyst Martin Armstrong shares his insights on precious metals, Ukraine and the threat of war faced by the NATO countries. Armstrong speaks with journalist Greg Hunter on a new edition of USAWatchdog.com

Armstrong says we can expect continued “volatility” over the short term future. While gold and silver will continue to rise in  price, there will be short-term pullbacks as well as periods when refiners are overbooked, to the extent they aren’t really open to taking on more work. “This is not the major high. We have too much craziness on the horizon, from sovereign debt default to war,” says Armstrong. “You are just getting a pullback and consolidation. . ..”

He’s looking for silver to reach $165 to $200 per ounce, while for gold, “I am looking at resistance at the $8,500 per ounce level and, after that, $10,000 per ounce . . . in the next few years.”

Armstrong also discusses the difficulty in arriving at peace in Ukraine — as NATO continues to undermine efforts to end the war.  Do the NATO countries fear a Russian invasion, or are they using Ukraine as an excuse to cover up  their own internal problems and incompetencies?

Banks Will Crash?

Are we on the cusp of a black swan financial crash? There are certainly many signs showing major new pressures. We’ve seen enormous increases in the value of precious metals like gold and silver, along with sudden fluctuations and reversals.

There’s heat on the value of the dollar, as well as bonds and the array of marketing tools falling under the Federal Reserve. Speculations have grown surrounding major bank failures. Could we see banks swallowed up? How about currencies?

Precious metals guru and sharp-minded financial forecaster Jim Willie discusses what could be on the immediate horizon. Here are his no-holds-barred predictions and suspicions, shared with David “Nino” Rodriguez.

Mad Max Economic Upheaval?

Are we going to see the economy descend into Mad Max-style anarchy?

Financial analyst and longtime precious metals advocate Bill Holter believes we’re on the cusp of such a breakdown.  By March, he predicts we could see a failure to deliver gold and silver, leading to a strategic collapse of the credit-driven economy.

“There will be failure to deliver silver in the first part of March 2026. The currencies will zero out. It is a collapse of the entire financial system. . .. The real economy runs on credit. Everything you touch, everything you do . . . credit has been involved in its creation. If credit becomes unattainable, the real economy completely shuts down and that is where your Mad Max come in.”

Here’s Holter’s full interview with Greg Hunter on USAWatchDog.com.

The End Of The Fed?

The vaults are empty. The digital fiat is crumbling. For decades, the central banking cabal has manipulated gold, silver, and the very foundation of the world economy—but their time is up.

In this explosive dialogue, John Michael Chambers and the enigmatic SG Anon pull back the curtain on the greatest financial unraveling in modern history. They reveal how institutional players and awakened retail investors are flooding into tangible assets, while the London Exchange and Federal Reserve scramble to cover hundreds of billions in naked shorts and derivative exposures.

China is hoarding silver.
Vaults in London are bare.
The Federal Reserve’s “lender of last resort” window is being stormed by bankrupt banks.

This isn’t a prediction—it’s a live collapse. And at the center of it all is a parallel financial system rising from the ashes, backed by precious metals and real value, championed by President Trump and his allies.

We are in the danger zone of the Global Financial Reset.
The golden age is dawning.
The banksters are on the wrong side of history. Here’s more from JMC Broadcasting.

China Gearing Up For War

Communist China has liquidated $688 billon in U.S. debt holdings, a clear sign of buildup for a possible global war. The crash sales of this debt — at a substantial loss for the Chinese — represents approximately 40 percent of their total holdings in American Treasury debt.

“Military assets are deceptive,” says The Archivist.” “They can be deployed and recalled to port in a matter of days. They are the theater of geopolitics designed to be seen.

“If you want to know the intent of a superpower, if you want to know if they are truly preparing for an irreversible divorce, you must look at the movement of sovereign debt.”

Among the questions addressed here:

  • Why selling at a loss signals preparation, not panic
  • How sanctions on Russia changed China’s risk calculus
  • Why U.S. allies are being forced to absorb China’s exit
  • The rise of the “Bagholder Alliance” (United Kingdom, Belgium, Japan)
  • How the Treasury market is becoming political, not economic
  • Why bonds are no longer risk-free assets
  • How China is converting paper claims into gold, oil, copper, and food.
