The Imminent Fall of the Eurodollar System | Alex Krainer

During a meeting with technology, crypto, and finance leaders held at the White House yesterday, President Trump brought up the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act) again.

» I know, I know… The idea that the Trump administration is doing anything "legitimate"

may defy imagination by now, but the current arrangement is anything but legitimate. «

 

Trump framed the Act as part of his administration's broader crypto and digital-asset agenda (ending what he called the "war on crypto," launching "Project Crypto," establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and creating a Digital Asset Stockpile):

"One year ago this summer, I signed landmark legislation known as the GENIUS Act. … paving the way for widespread adoption of dollar-backed stablecoins, and that's worked out very well."

Indeed, the Act was already passed last summer, and Trump signed it into law on July 18, 2025, so why all the commotion about it now, more than a year later?

Could be earth-shattering…

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tweeted that the GENIUS Act established a landmark framework and clear rules of the road for payment stablecoins, and that the Treasury is moving quickly to implement that framework, asking for "input from stakeholders" in order to "cement the role of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency, and keep America the crypto capital of the world."

The US, via regulated dollar stablecoins and Treasury authority under the GENIUS Act, aims to shut down the unregulated eurodollar market, reclaim control of the dollar's global role, and defund the "rules-based order" and shadow networks, triggering market tremors, surging demand for legitimate dollars, and pressure on non-favored countries such as Britain, the EU, and Canada.

The Act establishes new US federal laws creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for payment stablecoins redeemable for a fixed monetary value (typically $1) and intended to maintain a stable value relative to the "legal tender" currency. It also restricts the issuance of stablecoins to "permitted payment stablecoin issuers," and this is where the GENIUS Act gets extremely interesting.

What GENIUS Is All About…

Speaking at the SALT Conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the former Wall Street executive and prominent advocate for monetary reform Caitlin Long pointed out that the GENIUS Act enables the Treasury Department to define "what is allowed to be a so-called euro-dollar, euro-yen, euro-euro. Or yuan, right?" She continued:

"… the term ‘euro' doesn't mean European. It means a dollar issued offshore outside of the United States … These are tokenized fiat currencies issued outside of their home country, and the US Treasury is taking charge of the recognition of the validity of these. That is massive.

The fact that there are institutions outside of the United States that can issue US currency should be regarded as an illegal aberration. Effectively, they're counterfeiting US dollars, but in spite of that, for some reason, it has been taken as normal for decades now. That's in spite of the fact that counterfeiting US dollars abroad effectively robs the purchasing power of American taxpayers to fund any manner of nefarious activities."

Most likely, that's why this system was allowed to grow to such massive proportions. Caitlin Long again:

"… If you're a student of the financial markets, you know that the eurodollar market is as large as the domestic financial market. That's the offshore dollar market. When the US Treasury is taking control of what is recognized as valid, that is taken from the Fed. … The Treasury is taking power back over the US dollar, over the eurodollar markets, and, frankly, over the US role in the financial system globally from the Fed."

Long made these comments after discussing the GENIUS Act with "someone who just walked out" of a Treasury Department meeting, and if she is right (I believe she certainly is), the implications could be truly earth-shattering. To begin with, disenfranchising the Fed and taking control over the currency from it is the stuff of civil wars.

"To put that into context, when we were talking earlier about how antiquated the traditional system is and that the Fed's systems are themselves behind… If you've been watching, all of the other agencies have issued rules [in accordance with the GENIUS Act]. One glaring exception: the Fed has not issued its rules yet, and according to the GENIUS Act, all of the agencies' rules were supposed to be final a couple of weeks ago. The Fed hasn't even issued theirs yet, so there's this dynamic going on between the Treasury Department and the Fed."

"The dynamic" going on between the Treasury Department and the Fed is a political collision course in which the Treasury is trying to wrest control over the monetary system from the unelected private bankers and return it to the democratically elected government and its legitimate institutions.

I know, I know… The idea that the Trump administration is doing anything "legitimate" may defy imagination by now, but the current arrangement is anything but legitimate. It is also patently unconstitutional: the Constitution of the US explicitly authorizes Congress with the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof…" (Article I, Section 8, Clause 5). The Constitution also gives Congress the power "to provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States."

 

Contrary to its name, the eurodollar has nothing to do with the European currency. The eurodollar market is an offshore fractional-reserve banking system in which dollar deposits held at banks outside the US are multiplied through interbank lending and book-entry creation, largely free of Fed reserve requirements, to form a vast parallel dollar funding market that ultimately settles via US payment systems.

Eurodollar, Fed, and the Shadow Governments

The counterfeit US dollars circulating abroad are the glue that holds the global "rules-based" order together: they enable the funding needed to bribe foreign officials, pay for and arm the sundry jihadi terror groups and separatist militias. The colossal network of NGOs, charitable organizations, and other groups and activities of shadow governments around the world can't be fully funded through legitimate legal means. These activities often require illegal activities and trillions in embezzled funds.

For example, according to recent reports, billions of dollars have been offered to Iranian officials to sell out and turn Iran over to a government more friendly to the Trump team. In the past, we know that hundreds of millions in US bank notes are routinely smuggled from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, past the US Comptroller of the Currency, to provide funding for coups, assassinations, regime-change operations, and similar "special assignments" by the shadow government.

That is why it should be essential for the US government to regain control of the dollars circulating abroad (or to render those dollars illegitimate and worthless), defunding the "rules-based global order" and reasserting US economic and financial sovereignty. While it would be too optimistic to expect that the Trump administration has pushed the GENIUS Act to achieve any such elevated goals, we should hope that it might leave behind the means needed for American democracy to reassert its economic and financial sovereignty and turn its currency into a tool to recover its prosperity and economic edge.

In the Meantime, Tremors

Given that half or more of all US dollars in circulation around the world are outside the United States, the administration's intended actions (there'll be ambushes; we'll find out) will cause major tremors in world markets, driving demand for "legitimate" dollars and rendering the "illegitimate" ones worthless. This will enable Trump and his team to exert pressure on governments around the world and dictate the terms at which their dollar balances may be converted into new stablecoins needed for trade settlement and reserve requirements.

I expect that Great Britain, the EU, and Canada won't be among the "most favored nations" in the near future, which will further worsen their fiscal positions, make it difficult for them to access global markets and procure commodities like oil, natural gas, wheat, and others. This will lead to shortages and exacerbate inflationary pressures at home.

Mein AI: Palantir's Karp Wants Us to Know He Has Big Plans | Tarik Cyril Amar

Once the Nazis were done, quite a few people started scratching their heads. Obviously one thing to baffle any sane observer was the sheer enormity of their crimes, accomplished, moreover, with frenetic, really start-up'ish drive and ambition in a mere twelve years: World War? Check. Genocides? Check. Bad hairstyle? Check.

 

» Subversion, surveillance, and violence. «

Alex Karp has big plans.

 

But then, there also was another puzzle: How could their self-besotted visionary-in-chief, hobby philosopher (with a bent to sinister German stuff), and obviously mentally less than stable wanna-be-genius of a leader have gotten a whole nation of, apparently, reasonably educated people to go along? And not just go along, but go along to the very, very bitter end.

 

That question was all the more disturbing in view of the fact that Adolf Hitler had not been shy about displaying his insanity and extremely bad intentions well before conservative elites installed him in power in 1933. Hitler’s book-length – indeed two-volume – manifesto of German fascism (AKA Nazism) Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and 1926, sold more than 12 million copies and was translated into over a dozen languages.

 

Elon Musk thinks what Karp says here is 'based.'

 

And those ready to brave its pathological me-me-me-and-HISTORY narcissism, daft hodge-podge ramblings about the better and the lesser parts of humanity, and brownshirt-bro bombast to read it through could not say that the future Leader had been concealing where he intended to lead Germany and, really, the world. 

  

Indeed, Hitler’s manifesto could have served as an all-alarms-howling, bright-red-lights-flashing-everywhere, get-the-strait-jackets-now warning. The main points of Nazi Germany’s evil to come were all there, laid out in general but with stunning honesty: empire building with industrial-strength brutality, extermination or at least slavery for those considered inferior and superfluous, and last but not least, eternal primacy of one master country – primacy, as we’d say now in American English – to be achieved and maintained by all and any means, because that country – in Hitler’s case Germany – was defined as superior to all others by definition and called upon to lead the world, forever.

 

  » Technofascism pure! «

Karp's Palantir Manifesto; April 18, 2025.

Palantir's 'Technological Republic' is the Mein Kampf of the
digital era. It argues for militarism, thinly-veiled racism and
letting elites run wild. It's a sick man's vision of the future. 

 

It is one of those bitter ironies of history that Alex Karp, CEO of the very peculiar software company Palantir, who regularly refers to his Jewish family background and what it would have meant for him under the Nazis, has recently released a manifesto that also should serve as a warning to the rest of us. A summary of his longer tract "The Technological Republic" (co-authored with Nicholas Zamiska) – the second volume in the age of mass distraction and attention deficit, so to speak – the twenty-two point X post has provoked a great backlash.

 

Cas Mudde, well-known expert on the far right, has called it "Technofascism pure!" (with an exclamation mark in the original). Yanis Varoufakis feels that "if Evil could tweet, this is what it would!" (with another exclamation mark). Mudde has also called for a full stop to all cooperation with Palantir by European companies and government agencies. Even Eliot Higgins, founder of Cold-War re-enactment tool and Western information war front Bellingcat has been moved to – mild irony. How daring! (My exclamation mark.)

 

And these are not over-reactions. Karp's Palantir Manifesto really is an astonishingly open self-exploration of a very sick mind’s vision for the future of humanity, arguing, in effect, for an open-ended AI arms race (a big Kaching! for Palantir, by the way), bringing back German and Japanese militarism, racism masked as realism about cultural backwardness (as it happens, also a Nazi "Kulturträger" move, which Karp should have heard about in his German years), and, last but not least, letting our brilliant billionaires and new elites in general off the hook when they mess up, such as with on private islands having fun with a serial child rapist - that sort of thing. How unselfish.

 

Palestinian journalists from Gaza discuss the US tech giant Palantir and its role
in the Gaza genocide and its £240m contract in the UK's National Health Service.

It is also painfully, criminally badly written – plus ça change… – in a style that combines mock-Oswald Spengler Götterdämmerung kitsch ("The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.") with sheer non-sequitur inanity (Why, again, can’t we have economic growth and security without any of that "ruling class decadence"?).

 

There are passages that read like young Jordan Peterson – age 15 and on too much diet coke – trying to be deep, really, really deep for the first time: "Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed" and "our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice."

 

The USDA just handed Palantir a $300 million no-bid contract
to consolidate American farm data into a single platform.

 

After the inimitable practice of America's war idiot-in-chief Don Tzu of Hormuz, Alex and his Palantir friends are giving us their I Ching of the tech dim. Lucky us: So much American primacy and then we get Silicon Valley meta, too!

 

» Palantir never rests. «

 
Yet farcical as Karp's manifesto is, it is, of course, a deadly serious matter. After all, we live in a world where Palantir has already risen to far too much power. Founded as a CIA spin-off after the oh-so-unforeseen terror attacks of 11 September 2001, backed by totally normal Epstein-buddy, "transhumanist," and antichrist-obsessive Peter Thiel, Palantir has grown into a bloody monster, combining, in true fascist style, the logics of efficiency and extermination with its software tools, such as Gotham, Foundry, or Maven, while mass-spying on everything and everyone it can, and systematically embedding itself in international business and government to become – or appear – indispensable.

 

Palantir's AI Powers US Strikes in Iran War, Speeding
'Kill Chain' in First Major AI-Driven Conflict.

Palantir – named after all-seeing magic stones used by the villains of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings (again: don’t say you weren’t warned) has already produced so much evil that a short worst-of-the-worst sample must do: The company has officially denied being involved in genocidal Israel’s use of AI to mass-murder Palestinians faster. Curiously enough, Alex Karp has, however, smirkingly admitted the fact in public. Regarding the deployment of Palantir’s targeting software deployment of Palantir's targeting software in the American-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, the company is not even denying it.

The real shift is about control. Once your money becomes fully digital, it's no longer just something you hold—it's something that can be tracked, restricted, conditioned, and limited. Then consider where this leads: carbon tracking, usage caps, and allowances tied to behavior—fuel, energy, travel, consumption. At that point, it's no longer about how much money you have. It's about what you're permitted to do with it.

The biometric prison will be GLOBAL. There are MANY commercials in Russia, just like this one, promoting the biometric track/trace digital ID, digital ruble, UN Agenda 2030/WEF-identical, tech-totalitarian, total-surveillance prison system. 

But Palantir never rests. While deeply and proudly involved in genocidal slaughters and imperialist warfare, it also subverts peacetime societies pervasively. In Britain, for instance, a backlash has set in against the state’s reckless handing over of police powers and extremely sensitive data (for instance, in the spheres of finance and health) to the American CIA-offshoot gone rogue. In Germany, Palantir systems are used for policing in at least three of its federal states, Hesse, North-Rhine Westphalia, and Bavaria. In the US, Palantir has, of course, already so deeply invaded the state that it does not only help it fight its criminal wars abroad but also, for instane, terrorize its migrants and some non-migrants, too, at home.

In China, digital vaccine passports and contact tracing are all built into the digital wallet app WeChat, which is helping to build a social credit system. If your code turns red (meaning you are not vaccinated or are a close contact), you will be sent to a quarantine camp. Once a digital ID is in place, you have nowhere to run. 

Indeed, Palantir is so evil that even its own employees are beginning to wonder if they might, actually, be the bad guys. Hint: Yes, you are. And we all know.

 

For the rest of us, that is, almost all of us on this planet afflicted by Silicon Valley: It’s time to believe them when they tell us to our faces that they are coming for us. Palantir is a clear and present danger to humanity. Its CEO is an extremely dangerous maniac, its mission is subversion, surveillance, and violence, and its only Achilles Heel may be that old nemesis of the wicked: hubris. The sort of hubris that makes you display your perverse mind and announce your horrible aims in a manifesto we should all call Alex Karp's Mein AI.

On the EU Kill List: German Journalist Hüseyin Doğru and His Family

Hüseyin Doğru, a German citizen and journalist residing in Berlin, is the first and only individual with sole German nationality to be sanctioned by the European Union under its Russia sanctions regime. In an interview on the 'Neutrality Studies' program hosted by Swiss political scientist Pascal Lottaz (living and working in Japan), he provides a detailed update on his situation, which began with his designation on May 20, 2025 under the 17th EU sanctions package. 

 

» Extrajudicial sanctions to alter "non-illegal behavior:" There is no trial, there is no hearing, no prior warning, no opportunity
for defense—just, all of a sudden, all civil liberties, including the right to have a bank account and to free movement,
are gone overnight. And as such, you cannot provide for your children, and the German government can take them
away into “custody.” Human rights are being shattered in Germany; journalists are scared and silenced. «

The EU Council (comprising 27 foreign ministers) imposed the measures without prior warning, trial, hearing, or opportunity for defense, citing alleged close ties to the Russian state and its "state propaganda operators." The stated rationale links his journalistic coverage of U$raHell's genocide in Gaza, the suppression of pro-Palestinian demonstrations and broader social protests across Europe, and the 2024 Humboldt University occupation in Berlin to the creation of "ethnic discord" among EU citizens and the undermining of EU stability—activities purportedly benefiting Russia exclusively.

Extrajudicial Sanctions and Legal Black Hole

The sanctions are characterized as extrajudicial measures designed, per official EU documentation, to alter “non-illegal behavior” and compel alignment with EU foreign policy interests. They immediately revoked Mr. Doğru’s access to banking services, freedom of movement, and other civil liberties. Although a formal right of appeal to the European Court of Justice exists, practical barriers render it ineffective: frozen assets prevent payment of legal fees, while the German government disclaims responsibility by referring complainants to the EU level, and vice versa, creating a “legal black hole.” Former European Court of Justice judge Ninon Colneric authored an expert report concluding that the sanctions violate fundamental laws of EU member states and operate beyond judicial oversight. Mr. Doğru’s current appeal is pending before the EU General Court in Luxembourg, with a decision anticipated within two to three months; procedural grounds are expected to prevail over substantive legal violations.

 

Punishment without due process: Hüseyin Doğru’s case mirrors the surreal, nightmarish, and
impenetrable legal machinery depicted in Franz Kafka's 1915 "The Trial", in which Josef K.
is subjected to prosecution by an opaque bureaucratic authority for an unknown crime.

 

German Court Ruling and Blocked Payments

A recent ruling by a German local court underscores the interplay between EU and national law. The court declined to compel Mr. Doğru’s bank to process payments from the €506 monthly humanitarian allowance granted by the German authorities, deeming such expenditures non-essential despite their necessity for rent, food, utilities, and support of his family (including two newborns and a nearly seven-year-old child). The judgment explicitly acknowledged foreseeable negative consequences—including potential criminal proceedings for unpaid debts—but classified them as inherent to the sanctions regime, thereby prioritizing EU decisions over German constitutional protections.

February 10, 2026: German Member of the European Parliament Christine Anderson warns that "under-16" social media bans are just a pretext to link everyone’s online activity to a digital ID. "The EU wants to scan private messages sent from your phone. They say it’s about illegal material online, but in practice it means scanning everything people say. It would inevitably require identifying every user through a digital ID. That is called surveillance. Putting one’s own citizens under surveillance is a practice best known in totalitarian regimes."

In May 2023, MEP Anderson stated: "For God’s sake, stop complying—start rebelling. If you do not resist, they will come after you... The ultimate goal is to transform our societies into totalitarian ones. They seek to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights—freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. They want to dismantle all of it... Throughout the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite truly concerned with the well-being of ordinary people—and today is no different."

Escalation: Wife’s Accounts Frozen

Recent escalations have intensified the humanitarian crisis. The German sanctions implementation authority (subordinate to the Ministry of Economy) has frozen all of Mr. Doğru’s wife’s bank accounts, notwithstanding her non-sanctioned status. Justification rests on two grounds: (1) the couple’s marriage and shared parenthood, implying Mr. Doğru’s control over her assets; and (2) her assumption of payments for the family car insurance after his policies were cancelled due to sanctions—interpreted as deliberate circumvention. The decision has reduced the household to €506 per month total. Additional provisions in Germany’s January 2026 sanctions implementation law render even humanitarian assistance by friends and neighbors to the children (such as providing nappies or baby food) potentially punishable by up to ten years’ imprisonment. Child protection statutes now theoretically permit state removal of the children on grounds of parental inability to provide for their welfare.

 

» Germany is pushing for the militarization of Europe, and is very eager to go to war against Russia. 
Whatever we think about Russia, we see that the European economy is being destroyed. « 

 

Precedent, Repression, and Broader Crackdown

Mr. Doğru frames his case as a deliberate precedent-setting test for the internal application of EU sanctions against European citizens and journalists within the bloc. Germany and France are identified as primary drivers, motivated by broader geopolitical objectives including militarization, economic reorientation toward defense industries, and suppression of domestic dissent—particularly criticism of policies related to Palestine and Russia. He notes parallel repressive measures across Europe, including debanking, criminalization of activists, and sanctions against other journalists and figures (e.g., Swiss citizens Nathalie Yamb—in Africa—and Colonel Jacques Baud—in Brussels—and French-Iranian journalist Shahin Hazamy in Paris). Journalistic trade unions to which he belongs (VDA and DJU) have declined to defend him, having previously endorsed pre-sanction defamation campaigns and aligned with the German Foreign Ministry’s stance on "Russian disinformation." This conduct is likened to 1930s Nazi Gleichschaltung (synchronisation) and vorauseilender Gehorsam (anticipatory obedience).

January 9, 2025—that particular moment when unelected EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, openly warned people there would be consequences if they didn't vote the way he wanted, basically threatening anyone who dared to go in a different direction. 

The unelected, corrupt, and criminal President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced on April 4, 2026, the launch of the “28th regime EU Inc,” a regulatory framework to digitalize businesses and centralize information, with the sole objective of establishing digital control over Europeans. A fully digitalized society would be very easy to control—what people can and cannot do. If you add digital identification and a digital wallet to that, we are looking at a dystopian and tyrannical future. Shut up. Own nothing. Get your next booster shot. Eat se bugs.

Judicial Limits and Call for Political Action

Legally, Mr. Doğru highlights the limited efficacy of judicial remedies: the European Court of Justice has previously overturned similar sanctions only for the EU Council to re-list individuals under revised pretexts, and member states have disregarded adverse rulings. Future avenues include escalation to the European Court of Justice, followed potentially by the European Court of Human Rights or United Nations mechanisms, though prohibitive costs and lengthy timelines render these inaccessible without external support. He emphasizes that the crisis requires political, not merely judicial, resolution.

» This is elevating fascism to a higher plane. «

Yanis Varoufakis explains why EU sanctions against Hüseyin Doğru are more severe than the repression faced by himself in Germany or Francesca Albanese in the US for speaking out on Palestine.

Mr. Doğru stresses that his case exemplifies a systematic erosion of constitutional safeguards across the EU through foreign-policy instruments. He urges to engage politically—sending protest letters to politicians and trade unions, conducting independent research, and defending free-speech principles consistently—while warning that silence endangers democratic norms for all. Direct financial or material aid to him or his family is inadvisable, as it could trigger further sanctions. He expresses gratitude for cross-ideological support and reiterates his commitment to journalistic integrity despite the personal toll on him and his family.

ICE and the Rise of Trump's Meta-Palantir-X Police State | Stew Peters

There are individuals claiming the mantle of patriots, freedom fighters, or "America First" advocates who are actively cheering for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Border Patrol raids within the American interior—cities like Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is worth noting that these operations have demonstrably failed to usher in the promised mass deportations.

 » Testing ground for implementing new technologies. «

We recognized from the outset that these raids are not truly about mass deportations, nor are they designed to remove illegal invaders. If that were the objective, the military would be in charge of the operation. Instead, what we are witnessing is a federal law enforcement maneuver intended to habituate the American public to the presence of heavily armed state agents patrolling neighborhood streets. These operations serve as a testing ground for implementing new technologies—specifically Artificial Intelligence—designed to transform this country into a police state and a surveillance apparatus that would surpass the reach of the Soviet Union's secret police.

This surveillance state is being constructed to facilitate the tracking, policing, and even the extrajudicial killing of American citizens who find themselves in opposition to the government and its financial benefactors. We are now seeing video evidence that confirms our prior warnings. Recently, footage went viral showing Border Patrol agents in Illinois wearing Meta-produced AI glasses. Agents used these devices to photograph protesters, presumably to integrate their images into federal databases and populate their "Palantir" profiles.

» Weapons of choice against the American people. «

 

While Meta publicly claims these glasses lack facial recognition, college students have already modified the exact same hardware to scan the internet and identify individuals instantly. If twenty-year-olds can achieve this, the capabilities available to the engineers at Meta—and by extension, the Department of Homeland Security—are far more profound. Given Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound alignment with Donald Trump, the Meta Ray-Bans worn by federal agents clashing with protesters are capable of much more than simple photography. It appears that Meta, the federal government, and various "Big Tech" AI corporations—including Palantir and X—are utilizing domestic chaos to field-test the very technologies and implementation methods they intend to permanentize. Welcome to the AI surveillance state; it has already arrived.

[...] We are entering a new era because the public is, in many ways, inviting it. We are seeing the rise of federal "robo-cops" equipped with AI sunglasses and mobile devices linked to facial recognition networks, scanning cities as if participating in a simulated urban warfare environment. Their priority is not the deportation of undocumented immigrants—noting that only approximately 350,000 were removed in 2025—but rather the installation of a police state. By fostering a chaotic and dangerous environment, they encourage citizens to plead for more agents and more control. The concept of mass deportation is being used as a rhetorical device to gain public consent for constant surveillance.

 

We have recently learned from a source within Turning Point USA that members of Charlie Kirk’s security team were wearing AI glasses, similar to those used by the DHS, to scan crowds and coordinate with drone swarms and remote-viewing systems. This technology is being utilized to target and eliminate Americans, and the cases of Alex Pretti and Charlie Kirk are merely the beginning. We are witnessing the birth of a system where constant scanning and identification are the weapons of choice against the American people.

On Gold, EU Capital Controls, CBDCs, Cryptos, and Stocks | Martin Armstrong

The Gold price is driven by geopolitical uncertainty, not peace expectations, with central banks acquiring it for its neutral status against collapsing European sovereign debt. European investors buying gold while leaders escalate Russia tensions create a self-reinforcing fear cycle. This risk has prompted major European institutions to relocate gold reserves to New York and Singapore, anticipating the historical certainty of European capital controls during crises.

Gold's powerful rally is terminal, completing Wave (3) past $4,380 just as Market Vane's Bullish 

Consensus hits a historic extreme of 95, signaling an imminent, major corrective Wave (4).

Evidence of control includes the new mandatory bank account declarations—the initial phase of preventing capital flight. Further anticipated steps include regulating cryptocurrencies and implementing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) by January 2026, likely justified by a false flag event. Existing withdrawal limits (e.g., in Spain) confirm the focus on financial control, a practice rooted in historical currency cancellations and asset restrictions during past European crises.

 Dow-Gold Ratio from 1792 to 2025:

Dow valuation relative to gold now below mid-1960s.

The Socrates model forecasts a panic cycle in 2026 with intensified conflict and Euro stress, marked by a dangerous, unprecedented convergence of the international conflict and civil unrest cycles. This systemic risk is compounded by the destabilizing effect of Europe's large, unsupported migrant population. Economically, interest rates will rise, particularly in Europe, as geopolitical risk increases debt service costs. The unsustainable US debt trajectory confirms the sovereign debt crisis will lead to government failure when debt cannot be rolled over.

Investors are now in a "private wave," prioritizing private assets over government solvency. The primary stock market bubble risk lies in AI stocks, not blue-chip indices used by institutions for large-scale capital parking. Consequently, "smart money" is relocating capital to the United States (equities and real estate). This strategic move anticipates the CBDC's ultimate function: an impenetrable barrier to capital outflows, reflective of Europe's controlling political philosophy.

The Game of Chess, and the Masters of the Board | The Honorable One

Chess can show you how the world is run, who is really in power, and how to break it. There are six types of people who run the modern world. First you need to understand who is at the bottom.
 

 » Someday, someone will return and flip the board. « 

 

Number one, the pawns—the masses. They follow orders, pay taxes, are predictable, and get sacrificed in each game. Without them, there is no game, no power, no state, no Suki system. They are the majority in every game, the foundation of all power, and yet they are too weak to realize it. 

Number two, the rooks—the 20% who do 80% of the work: long hours, efficient, diligent, straight shooters. They are like machines. But they get stuck when routines change, they are not flexible enough, and they are useless on their own. They need number three:

 

» Everyone is afraid of the queen. «  

The knights. For a long time they just sit. Then they leap over walls, surprising everyone. Their paths and creativity are unpredictable. They connect dots no one else connects. They are ahead of the curve and unplug first. They walk into uncharted terrain. But one wrong step, and they fall. 

 

Knights need number four by their side: A good bishop to protect them. He is a quiet planner, the one who can wait. He is patient and prepared with a plan to strike months or years from now. But bishops are nothing compared to number five:

» It's their game. « 

 

The queen can strike anytime, anywhere, in all directions. Everyone is afraid of the queen. Who are the queens of this world? Central Bankers, those who run the Suki agencies, the military—those who can take out anyone anytime anywhere. The rules and laws of pawns, knights, and bishops do not apply to them. 

 

» Families that cannot be named. « 

So why is number six, the king, in power, and not the queen? The king takes small steps in the back rows, unnoticed. Nobody fears him. He holds power through legacy. Queens wield power for decades; kings and their families hold it for centuries. Who are the kings of today's world? The families that cannot be named. They have trillions but don’t appear on Forbes lists. Money does not matter to them—they print it. Everyone plays chess, but they are the ones who provide the board. They decide how many fields the board has and how long the game will be played. 

 

» We are the oil in your dressing, the flour in your bread, the meat on your dinner table. «  

A largely unknown American family dynasty of 14 billionaires traces its fortune to William Wallace Cargill in 1865. The Cargill-MacMillan family business, Cargill Inc., became one of the world's largest private companies. With revenues of $177 billion, it controls 22% of US beef production, and its low public visibility stems from its dominance in the food supply chain, where it and three other firms handle 70–90% of the global grain trade.

 

It's their game, and it is hard to exit. But there is a way: You only win if you don't play. You stop paying, you stop playing. All the game is run by money—consumption, production, access, bureaucracy, taxes. If you stop the money flow, the game stops. Someday, someone who has stopped playing and walked away from the game will return and flip the board: Game over for all the kings and all their Suki helpers. Honor will come.

 “Suki,” Russian prison slang for traitors and bitches (сука/суки), denotes globalist elites, corporations, and establishment figures—who embody hypocrisy, manipulation, and betrayal. They uphold the “Suki system,” the oppressive order of financial dependency, surveillance, digital control, censorship, and cultural erosion. “The Grim” is the The Honorable One, and the adversary of the Suki. He stands  for growth, reliability, integrity, independence, incorruptibility. He rejects victimhood, consumerism, culture of comfort, indulgence, entitlement, materialism, and resists the Suki system mentally, emotionally, financially and spiritually.
