Putin Talks U.S. Financial Suicide, De-Dollarization and the Rise of BRICS : Awake-In-3D
Putin Talks U.S. Financial Suicide, De-Dollarization and the Rise of BRICS
On February 13, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
Last week, in a revealing 2-hour interview with Tucker Carlson in Moscow, the subject of geoeconomic shifts was raised. It was a small segment of the interview, yet I was able to read the transcript and summarize the key points of the segment.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who currently leads the BRICS Alliance, shared his observations on the United States’ current economic and financial strategies, suggesting that America is on the path to self-destruction on the global stage.
Putin noted a shift in global trade practices, with countries increasingly questioning the necessity of using the dollar for transactions. This move, according to him, could lead to a drastic reduction in the use of the dollar, undermining the U.S.’s economic dominance and potentially leading to severe internal financial crises.

Last week, in a revealing 2-hour interview with Tucker Carlson in Moscow, the subject of geoeconomic shifts was raised. It was a small segment of the interview, yet I was able to read the transcript and summarize the key points of the segment.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who currently leads the BRICS Alliance, shared his observations on the United States’ current economic and financial strategies, suggesting that America is on the path to self-destruction on the global stage.
Putin noted a shift in global trade practices, with countries increasingly questioning the necessity of using the dollar for transactions. This move, according to him, could lead to a drastic reduction in the use of the dollar, undermining the U.S.’s economic dominance and potentially leading to severe internal financial crises.
Putin portrayed a scenario where the U.S. is unwittingly undermining its own power, particularly through its handling of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
The conversation, which began with a question about BRICS quickly expanded to encompass broader issues of global economic stability and the strategic missteps of the United States.
Putin argued that America’s internal policies, especially its weaponization of the dollar, are precipitating its downfall.
The Dollar’s Dominance and Its Self-Destruction
The Russian leader highlighted the dollar’s pivotal role in establishing the United States as a global superpower post-World War II. He pointed out that the U.S.’s control over the world reserve currency has afforded it considerable leverage and political strength, allowing for unprecedented levels of spending and accumulation of over 34 trillion dollars in debt without triggering domestic economic collapse.

However, Putin warned of the inherent risks in the U.S.’s current approach, particularly its reliance on the dollar for global trade. He criticized the U.S. leadership for using the dollar as a tool in foreign policy, which he views as a strategic error that has started to alienate both allies and adversaries, potentially threatening the dollar’s global status.
The Global Shift Away from the Dollar
Significantly, Putin noted a shift in global trade practices, with countries increasingly questioning the necessity of using the dollar for transactions. This move, according to him, could lead to a drastic reduction in the use of the dollar, undermining the U.S.’s economic dominance and potentially leading to severe internal financial crises.

The Russian president also touched upon the response from other nations to the U.S.’s sanctions and restrictive measures, such as asset freezes, which have spurred a reevaluation of the dollar’s indispensability in international trade.
He highlighted Russia’s own shift from dollar and euro transactions to rubles and yuan, portraying it as a defensive measure against U.S. policies.
Global Repercussions: The Rise of BRICS Alternative
Putin’s insights reveal a broader concern about the future of international economic relations and a significant shift in global power dynamics. He implicitly suggested that the U.S.’s actions could pave the way for other currencies and economic blocs, such as the BRICS Alliance, to assume more central roles in global trade and finance.

The geoeconomic segment of the interview concluded with Putin reflecting on the consequences of the U.S.’s economic strategies, not just for America but for the global community.
He questioned whether U.S. policymakers fully grasp the long-term implications of their actions, which he believes could lead to diminishing U.S. influence and the emergence of new global powers.

As revealed in Part 1 of this article series, a vast amount of historical wealth is prepared to underpin and transform the current global fiat currency debt system into a gold-backed monetary system – a grand plan undertaken and guided by an alliance of guardian Elder/Royal bloodlines spanning centuries.
The Elders’ plan is nothing short of revolutionary. They propose using their immense gold reserves to back currencies, thereby introducing a stable foundation for a new, global monetary system.
The plan garners support from unexpected quarters. Within the armed services and intelligence agencies, individuals dismayed by prevailing financial system practices have established a Resistance, refusing to back further banking cabal agendas.

The plan garners support from unexpected quarters. Within the armed services and intelligence agencies, individuals dismayed by prevailing financial system practices have established a Resistance, refusing to back further banking cabal agendas.

This initiative extends beyond mere financial restructuring; it encompasses debt relief and the funding of humanitarian projects worldwide. Such a shift would mark a radical departure from the prevalent system of fiat money, where currency value hinges on government decree rather than tangible assets.
The urgency for this transformation stems from the systemic flaws of the current financial model. This model has enabled the creation of money out of thin air, leading to cycles of debt, inflation, and economic crises.
The Elders’ vision counters this by advocating for a transparent, asset-backed system.
Their plan challenges the Western banking cabal’s dominance, which has long relied on fiat currency to exert global financial power and influence.
The Hero Resistance Alliance
Resistance to this monumental financial shift is anticipated, particularly from those who benefit most from the current system.
Yet, the plan garners support from unexpected quarters. Within the armed services and intelligence agencies, individuals dismayed by the prevailing financial practices are voicing their dissent. They refuse to back further banking cabal agendas.
These factions are not just passive critics; they are actively seeking to realign the U.S.’s financial policies with principles of integrity and transparency aligning with the original, organic Constitution of the United States of America – not the usurped constitution of the United States (a corporate entity in the District of Columbia).
See also: A Lost Republic: The Strategic Overthrow of American Sovereignty (Part 1)
This coalition between the Elders and reform-minded individuals within the U.S., and around the world, signifies a potent alliance and force for change. Together, they aspire to dismantle the existing system’s exploitative mechanisms and lay the groundwork for a more equitable financial future.
This would include Allies positioned within the US Treasury, the IMF, the BIS and other agencies worldwide. Yet the battle of resistance is not one of kinetic violence, but of infiltration and forced attrition within the banking cabal ranks. Victory does not come overnight.
This alliance’s efforts underscore a critical message: the path to global financial stability requires unwavering commitment to asset-backed currencies, the eradication of fiat money’s dominance, and the removal of the banking cabal influence.
The Banking Cabal: Power, Greed and Resistance
The roots of today’s financial system reach deep into history, intertwining with tales of power, greed, and resistance.
At the heart of this revolutionary battle is the banking cabal, a network of financial institutions and families that have shaped the global economy for centuries.
Their methods, often controversial, hinge on the creation of fiat currency, money that derives its value not from physical commodities but from government decree.
This backdrop of historical deceit and manipulation sets the stage for the Elders’ intervention, offering a stark contrast between the principles of asset-backed stability and the wealth transfer scam of fiat currencies.
This system traces back to the establishment of the Bank of England and the spread of the Rothschild family’s banking empire across Europe.
In the United States, figures like President Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln clashed with the burgeoning financial powers over the control of money creation. Jackson survived assassination attempts for his efforts, while Lincoln’s attempts to circumvent fiat money led to his demise.
The pivotal year of 1913 saw the creation of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, fundamentally altering the U.S. financial landscape.
This marked the beginning of a century-long devaluation of the dollar, a trend exacerbated by the 1933 gold confiscation by President Roosevelt to repay secret debts to European bankers.
The assassination of President Kennedy, shortly after he sought to issue gold-backed currency outside of the Federal Reserve system using Asian (Indonesian) gold, underscores the peril faced by those challenging the fiat system.
Secret deal to back the USD currency with gold? JFK with Indonesian President Sukarno in 1961. The Grasberg Block Cave Mine (Indonesia) is one of the largest gold resources in the world.
Nixon’s detachment of the dollar from gold in 1971 removed the last vestiges of asset backing, unleashing an era of unrestricted money printing that has led to over $34 trillion in U.S. debt today.
The banking cabal’s influence extends beyond mere financial manipulation. The refusal to audit USA gold reserves, the covert bailout of banks post-2008 financial collapse, and the ongoing practice of quantitative easing, fractional reserve banking and collateral rehypothecation, highlight a system teetering on the brink of moral and economic bankruptcy.
This backdrop of historical deceit and manipulation sets the stage for the Elders’ intervention, offering a stark contrast between the principles of asset-backed stability and the volatility of fiat currency.

The article series to follow is focused on the GFR/GCR and not the Revaluation of Currencies (RV), yet they go hand in hand.
The origins of Our GCR have an interesting, if not compelling story to tell regarding its overall purpose and foundational structure.
At the heart of this epic plan stand the Dynastic Dragon Families, a coalition of Bloodline Principals and Trustees from across Asia. They represent China, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
While it may come off reading like a creative fiction worthy of an epic, big-budget movie, it also remains logically plausible given the mission, resources, and achievability within today’s financially interconnected world.
Besides, how could the plan and components for a complete makeover of the failing Fiat Currency Debt System not be made of the stuff that stirs our hearts and souls.
So, let’s begin…
The Royal/Dragon Families: Guardians of the World’s Wealth
The revelation of a Global Currency Reset (GCR) emerged at a pivotal time in our financial history.
Across the globe, nations grapple with unprecedented economic challenges. These range from ballooning debts to the instability of fiat currencies, which lack tangible backing.
In response, a transformative proposal surfaces, promising a radical overhaul of the global financial system. This plan, rooted in the wealth of a secretive alliance known as the “Elder/Royal Families,” aims to reset the monetary landscape.
This is a key element of the GCR, setting the stage for an exploration of humanity’s shift towards a more stable and equitable economic framework.
At the heart of this epic plan stand the Dynastic Dragon Families, a coalition of Bloodline Principals and Trustees from across Asia. They represent China, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
These stewards hold the keys to the largest gold reserves not listed in any public record. Known as “Off-Ledger Gold,” this treasure is more than a myth; it’s a vast repository of wealth, shrouded in secrecy and history.

It is reported that the foundation of the Elders traces back to The Kong Family Bloodline, and the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius (Kongzi), born in 551 B.C.
Confucius laid the philosophical foundations for what would become a system of thought and ethics that has profoundly shaped Chinese society and beyond for over two and a half millennia.
Confucius, the progenitor of the Kong family, represents a lineage that has continued unbroken to the present day and recognized as the longest family tree in history.
The King David Trust is said to represent an amalgamation of European Royal Bloodlines (but not all of them) who support the deployment of their inherited wealth for the benefit of humanity and economic prosperity.
On the Royal Families side, the Lurie family, distinguished by its claim to one of the oldest bloodlines in the world, traces its origins back to the biblical King David, who is said to have united the tribes of Israel and ruled in the 10th century BCE.
The Lurie bloodline originated in the ancient Levant area, historically, the region along the eastern Mediterranean shores, roughly corresponding to modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and certain adjacent areas.
The Lurie family’s lineage is well-documented from the 13th century in France, where they emerged as a prominent Ashkenazi Jewish family. The name “Lurie” itself is believed to derive from the town of Loire, situated along the Rhone River, indicating a geographical origin of the family’s prominence.
The King David Trust is said to represent an amalgamation of European Royal Bloodlines (but not all of them) who support the deployment of their inherited wealth for the benefit of humanity and economic prosperity.
The significance of these gold troves cannot be overstated. They embody not just material wealth but a legacy spanning centuries.
The Elder/Royal Families have amassed this gold over generations, with the intent of using it for the greater good. Their proposition?
To back currencies, relieve debt, and fund humanitarian projects on a global scale.
Their role challenges the current financial paradigm, pushing against the tide of fiat money—a system where currency’s value is not backed by physical commodities but rather the government’s declaration. In advocating for a return to asset-backed currencies, the Elder/Royal Families aim to restore stability and trust in global economics.
This bold vision sets the stage for a confrontation with the entrenched interests of the Western banking cabal, marking a crucial juncture in the quest for financial reform.

US Commercial Real Estate Contagion Spreads to Germany and Japan : Awake-In-3D
US Commercial Real Estate Contagion Spreads to Germany and Japan
On February 8, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
The commercial real estate (CRE) sector in the United States continues facing significant losses, marking a crisis that experts are calling the worst since the financial crisis of 2008.
I don’t believe that the CRE meltdown will be the trigger of the fiat currency debt system collapse, but it will certainly play a role in contributing to the final event.
This downturn has not only destabilized the US regional banking sector but has also spread as a contagion to Europe and Japan, showcasing the interconnected nature and instability risks of global fiat financial markets.

The commercial real estate (CRE) sector in the United States continues facing significant losses, marking a crisis that experts are calling the worst since the financial crisis of 2008.
I don’t believe that the CRE meltdown will be the trigger of the fiat currency debt system collapse, but it will certainly play a role in contributing to the final event.
This downturn has not only destabilized the US regional banking sector but has also spread as a contagion to Europe and Japan, showcasing the interconnected nature and instability risks of global fiat financial markets.
The Epicenter: The US CRE Crisis
The US CRE sector is currently experiencing unprecedented stress, primarily due to the seismic shifts in work culture brought on by the government’s response to COVID-19.
The transition to remote work has left office buildings vacant, causing a steep decline in rental incomes and property values.
According to a report by Forexlive, Goldman Sachs estimates that $1.2 trillion in mortgages are due by the end of next year, with much of it underwater.
US Regional Banks with the largest CRE loans relative to capital
This situation has led to significant losses for regional banks and financial institutions heavily invested in commercial real estate loans.
More Bad News for Germany: Multiple Banks
Germany, Europe’s largest economy, has not been immune to the repercussions of the US CRE crisis.
Deutsche Pfandbriefbank (PBB), a German lender with a focus on real estate, has had to increase its provisions for bad debts significantly, bracing itself for what it describes as the worst decline in commercial property values in 15 years.
The bank has set aside as much as €215 million ($231.7 million) for potential losses on loans, highlighting the “persistent weakness of the real estate markets”.
Similarly, Deutsche Bank has allocated €123 million ($133 million) to cover potential defaults on its US commercial real estate loans, indicating the far-reaching impact of the US crisis on European banks.
The Situation in Japan: Aozora Bank’s Unexpected Losses
Aozora Bank, based in Tokyo, Japan, has encountered significant financial distress due to its exposure to the U.S. commercial real estate market, marking a dramatic shift in the bank’s balance sheet health.
This situation has led Aozora Bank to report its first annual net loss in 15 years, a stark reversal from its previous net profit projections.
The bank has been compelled to take massive loan-loss provisions for U.S. commercial property as valuations have plummeted in the wake of rising borrowing costs and a decrease in demand exacerbated by the shift to remote work.
This financial turmoil resulted in a projected net loss of 28 billion yen ($190.5 million) for the fiscal year ending March 31, significantly deviating from an initially expected net profit of 24 billion yen. Consequently, Aozora Bank has decided to forgo dividends for the remainder of the financial year.
The ongoing CRE crisis in the US serves as a stark reminder of the global fiat financial system’s interconnectedness and risk of contagions spreading worldwide.
Banks and financial institutions worldwide are now facing the ripple effects of this downturn, with the full extent of potential losses and their distribution across the financial sector still unfolding.

How to discuss the Fiat Currency System Scam with friends and family without sounding like a conspiracy theory nut.
The lifeblood of the global fiat currency debt system is the powerhouse of currency creation: Fractional Reserve Lending.
This mechanism not only fuels the economy but also amplifies the “Currency Creation Scam” as I will explain in this article.
This cycle of deposit, lend, and re-deposit can inflate the initial deposit significantly, creating a vast majority of the currency supply not through government minting, but within the banking system itself.

How to discuss the Fiat Currency System Scam with friends and family without sounding like a conspiracy theory nut.
The lifeblood of the global fiat currency debt system is the powerhouse of currency creation: Fractional Reserve Lending.
This mechanism not only fuels the economy but also amplifies the “Currency Creation Scam” as I will explain in this article.
This cycle of deposit, lend, and re-deposit can inflate the initial deposit significantly, creating a vast majority of the currency supply not through government minting, but within the banking system itself.
Fractional Reserve Lending: Massive Leveraging of Your Bank Deposits
Fractional Reserve Lending operates on a principle as simple as it is brilliant.
Banks are required to keep only a fraction of your deposit in reserve, lending out the rest.
With a 10 percent reserve ratio, for example, a $100 deposit can magically transform into $90 of loanable funds.
This leaves us with a peculiar situation: your bank account still shows that you have a $100 balance, yet actually $90 is now elsewhere, in the hands of borrowers.
How?
Through the creation of “bank credit,” a digital mirage replacing real dollars.
Astonishingly, 92 to 96 percent of all fiat currency in existence is created (out of thin air) through multiplied cycles of bank credit.
Bank Credit: The True Secret of an Invisible Currency
This bank credit, while lacking the tangible form of cash, functions as currency within our economy. It emerges from a simple yet profound act: banks typing numbers into a computer.
This fabricated currency, stemming from your initial deposit, multiplies via loans as it moves through the banking system from one bank, to another and another.
A $100 deposit can balloon into $1,000 of bank credit, all while being backed by a mere $100 from the original deposit.
As loans are made and the currency circulates, each recipient re-deposits the funds, enabling further lending.
This cycle of deposit, lend, and re-deposit can inflate the initial deposit significantly, creating a vast majority of the currency supply not through government minting but within the banking system itself.
Astonishingly, 92 to 96 percent of all fiat currency in existence is created (out of thin air) through this cycle of bank credit.
The Real Cost of These Digital Currency Dollars Numbers
What does this mean for you, the everyday person? Let’s think this through step-by-step.
When you or your business takes out a loan, the proceeds of the loan simply go into another bank account, which creates more deposits (digital numbers) that are then re-loaned out again via fractional reserve lending, and then multiplied via the same process again and again.
This mechanism of currency multiplication underpins a system where the majority of our money supply is not real ‘money’ but a web of IOUs.
Every unit of fiat currency is an IOU created through fraction reserve lending that multiplied and expanded from one loan to the next and one bank to another.
While it fuels economic activity, it also represents a precarious balance, reliant on everyone’s continued faith and participation in the banking system.
The implications become obvious … a system built on fractional reserves is a system built on a foundation of trust, not real, tangible value.
In the next article, I will explain how this fabricated ‘wealth’ affects inflation, interest rates, and ultimately, the transfer of wealth from the many to the few.
Peeling back the layers of the fiat currency system and understanding these unsound mechanisms is the first step toward recognizing the potential true workings of our current financial infrastructure.
The fiat system has a finite self-life leading to an inevitable global financial reset based on more tangible, asset-based systems.

Massive Foreign Demand: Stellar Success in Today’s Record-Breaking US 10-Year Bond Auction
Massive Foreign Demand: Stellar Success in Today’s Record-Breaking US 10-Year Bond Auction
On February 7, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
In RV/GCR, Fiat Debt System Collapse
The global mother of all bonds – the US 10-Year – was in blowout demand today.
There is much confusion out there in GCR Land about US Treasuries. With reports stating there’s no foreign demand and misleading narratives about the meaning of bond prices vs. bond yields, it’s easy to get misinformed.

The global mother of all bonds – the US 10-Year – was in blowout demand today.
There is much confusion out there in GCR Land about US Treasuries. With reports stating there’s no foreign demand and misleading narratives about the meaning of bond prices vs. bond yields, it’s easy to get misinformed.
No worries. After reading this article you will know everything you need to know about bonds in order to accurately discern fact from hype.
What Happened in Today’s Bond Auction
Today’s 10-year Treasury bond auction shattered records, both in terms of the amount sold and the robustness of demand. Here’s what made today’s $42 billion auction, aimed at funding government operations through debt maturing on February 15, 2034, not just historic but downright stellar.
Record Auction Size and Demand
Today’s auction was monumental, offering $42 billion in 10-year bonds—the largest amount ever for this maturity.
After a lukewarm reception to a smaller 3-Year Treasury auction yesterday, there were concerns. Would there be enough appetite for such a significant 10-Year offering?
The answer was a resounding YES.
Why Today’s Auction Was Stellar
High Yield: The bonds sold today offered a yield of 4.093%, slightly higher than last month’s 4.024%. This yield is attractive to investors looking for safety, security, and pristine collateral.
Strong Demand: The auction’s “bid to cover” ratio, a key indicator of demand, stood at 2.56. This means there were bids for 2.56 times the amount of bonds available, signaling strong investor interest.
Foreign Demand: A standout aspect was the ultra-strong demand from foreign investors, known as “indirect” bidders. Foreign demand consumed a whopping 70.1% of the auction, showcasing global appetite for safe harbor and to secure collateral. US Treasuries are considered the most pristine form of collateral on earth.
Understanding the Basics of Treasury 10-Year Auctions
Understanding the basics of Treasury 10-year auctions and their impact on bond yields versus bond prices requires a grasp of a few key concepts. Let’s break it down into simpler terms.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury issues bonds to borrow money to fund government spending. A 10-year Treasury bond is a loan to the government that pays back the initial investment plus interest over ten years.
All US Treasuries are sold via regularly scheduled auctions.
The Bond Auction Process
The Treasury sells these bonds through auctions. Investors bid on the bonds, and the yield (interest rate) is determined through this competitive process.
The auction can be of two types: competitive bids, where investors specify the yield they’re willing to accept, and non-competitive bids, where investors accept whatever yield is determined at the auction.
How Bond Yields and Prices Are Related
Bond Yield: This is the return an investor gets on a bond. The yield is inversely related to the bond’s price. When bond prices go up, yields go down, and vice versa.
Bond Price: This is determined by demand and supply in the market. Factors like changes in interest rates, economic outlook, and investor sentiment can affect bond prices.
Impact of the Auction Process on Bond Yields and Prices
Demand at Auction: High demand for bonds at an auction will generally lead to lower yields. This is because investors are willing to pay more for the bonds, which increases the price of the bond and, in turn, lowers the yield.
Supply of Bonds: If the Treasury is selling a large amount of bonds, the increased supply can lead to lower bond prices if demand doesn’t keep pace, which would increase yields.
Market Expectations: Investors’ expectations about future interest rates, economic health and inflation can affect bidding behavior. If investors expect a higher risk environment, they will demand higher yields (during the auction) to compensate for the anticipated risk.
A Practical Example
If a 10-year Treasury bond auction sees higher than expected demand, the price of the bonds will rise because investors are willing to pay more to secure the bonds.
As a result, the yield on those bonds will fall since the fixed interest payments become a smaller percentage of the bond’s higher price.
Conversely, if an auction has weak demand, the Treasury may have to sell the bonds at lower prices to entice buyers, resulting in higher yields.
The auction process for 10-year Treasury bonds is crucial in setting the yields for new bonds entering the market. This process, influenced by investor demand and broader economic factors, directly affects bond prices and yields.
In summary, today’s record-breaking 10-year Treasury auction was a testament to the strength and appeal of U.S. government bonds.
With unprecedented demand, particularly from international markets, this auction underscores the global financial community’s flight to safety and demand for pristine collateral.

Fiscal Fantasies: Janet Yellen is Living in a Grand Illusion
On February 6, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
In an era where mainstream media’s economic optimism seems at odds with reality, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s reality-challenged view of the US economy and financial system confirms that she’s living in an alternate reality – a Grand Illusion.
From the precarious state of banking post-Silicon Valley Bank collapse to the looming crisis in commercial real estate and questionable claims of fiscal sustainability, let’s take a look at the stark contrast between official narratives and the underlying economic disaster through the lens of reality.
Fiscal Fantasies: Janet Yellen is Living in a Grand Illusion
On February 6, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
In an era where mainstream media’s economic optimism seems at odds with reality, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s reality-challenged view of the US economy and financial system confirms that she’s living in an alternate reality – a Grand Illusion.
From the precarious state of banking post-Silicon Valley Bank collapse to the looming crisis in commercial real estate and questionable claims of fiscal sustainability, let’s take a look at the stark contrast between official narratives and the underlying economic disaster through the lens of reality.
Banking on Thin Ice
As Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse sent shockwaves through the financial system, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s reassurances seem more like wishful thinking than a realistic appraisal.
Despite a hastily assembled “package of measures,” the specter of a broader banking crisis looms large, raising questions about the efficacy of these interventions.
The admission that some banks remain “quite stressed” only adds to the growing incredulity surrounding the official narrative.
Commercial Real Estate: The Ignored Elephant in the Room
Yellen’s concern over the “nationwide issue” of empty office buildings clashes starkly with her overall positive economic outlook.
Despite regulatory efforts to mitigate risks, the real estate sector’s woes appear to be a ticking time bomb, conveniently downplayed.
Can building reserves and adjusting dividend policies truly stave off the looming crisis, or are these measures just bandaids on a bullet wound?
A Job Market Mirage?
The Treasury Secretary’s confidence in the job market boom and low unemployment rates paints a picture far removed from the daily realities of many Americans.
While boasting of a labor market “at least as strong as it was prior to the pandemic,” the narrative conveniently glosses over the underemployment and job quality issues that plague the workforce.
The Unsustainable Path of Fiscal Health
Perhaps most bewildering is Yellen’s claim of steering the US towards fiscal sustainability. With national debt surging and economic growth being outpaced, her optimism seems misplaced.
The contrast between Yellen’s assurances and her predecessor, Jerome Powell’s stark warning of an “unsustainable fiscal path,” is striking. One can’t help but wonder, where does the truth lie?
Outperforming or Out of Touch?
Yellen’s comparison of the US economy to other advanced countries, touting “the strongest growth” and significant inflation reduction, appears overly simplistic.
Talking up the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry basket doesn’t inspire confidence in her grasp on the situation every day Americans face.
In a global economy rife with warning signs, such broad strokes seem disconnected from the nuanced realities facing the international community.
A Reality Check Needed
Yellen’s portrayal of the US economy and financial system as robust and on the right path is increasingly hard to reconcile with the underlying challenges.
From banking vulnerabilities to real estate risks and fiscal sustainability concerns, the gap between official statements and the economic realities suggests a narrative deeply infused with fiscal fantasies.

A Lost Republic: The Role of International Bankers in Establishing the ‘United States’ Corporation (Part 2)
A Lost Republic: The Role of International Bankers in Establishing the ‘United States’ Corporation (Part 2)
On February 5, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
Continuing from Part 1 in this article series, this concluding part explains how international bankers emerged as a pivotal force behind the scenes and influenced the financial and political landscape of America, specifically around the period of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871.
This era, marked by economic vulnerability and post-Civil War reconstruction challenges, provided a fertile ground for financial maneuvering on an international scale.
Among these financial players were the Rothschilds of London, a legendary banking family synonymous with wealth and power in banking circles for generations.
A Lost Republic: The Role of International Bankers in Establishing the ‘United States’ Corporation (Part 2)

Continuing from Part 1 in this article series, this concluding part explains how international bankers emerged as a pivotal force behind the scenes and influenced the financial and political landscape of America, specifically around the period of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871.
This era, marked by economic vulnerability and post-Civil War reconstruction challenges, provided a fertile ground for financial maneuvering on an international scale.
Among these financial players were the Rothschilds of London, a legendary banking family synonymous with wealth and power in banking circles for generations.
The Civil War, a calamitous period in American history, not only tested the fabric of the nation but also its coffers, leaving the United States in a state of financial exhaustion. It was during this time that international bankers saw an opportunity to extend their influence.
Contrary to accepting direct loans from these international financiers, which would come with strings attached and potentially compromise the nation’s autonomy, the U.S. government sought alternative ways to finance its recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The issuance of Greenbacks (America’s first issuance of a national Fiat Currency) was one such measure, designed to finance the war without succumbing to the pressures and conditions of foreign banks.
However, this move alone was not sufficient to ward off the influence of international banking interests.
Among these financial players were the Rothschilds of London, a legendary family synonymous with wealth and power in banking circles for many generations.
Their relentless pursuit of influence in American finances was not merely opportunistic, but part of a broader strategy to secure a financial stronghold in the burgeoning economic landscape of America.
The establishment of a federal municipal law was a clever mechanism to bind the future economic activities of the nation to the interests of these banking powers.
The Act of 1871, while ostensibly created to provide a governmental framework for the District of Columbia, also opened doors for these bankers to solidify their foothold in American economics.
By establishing a federal municipal law for the newly created federal citizens, the Act inadvertently created a new customer base for the banks and introduced a system wherein the American populace would become increasingly entangled in the financial strategies of both domestic and international bankers.
This new Banking Corporatocracy leveraged the establishment of America’s new National Banking System enacted by President Abraham Lincoln via the National Banking Act and the National Currency Act in 1863 and 1864. This set the legal and structural stage to establish The Federal Reserve Act and Bank in 1913.
This strategic positioning by the bankers was not an act of generosity or a mere financial transaction; it was a calculated move to ensure their dominance in the financial operations of the new, ‘United States’ corporatocracy.
The transformation has led to an environment where the concept of freedom is more myth than reality, as individuals find themselves subject to an ever-expanding array of regulations, statutes, and contractual obligations that dictate their behavior and limit their liberties.
The establishment of a federal municipal law was a clever mechanism to bind the future economic activities of the nation to the interests of these banking powers.
The implications of these developments came swiftly and resolutely.
The shift from a system of rights and liberties under the original Constitutional framework to a regime of privileges under a corporate governance model facilitated by the Act of 1871 marked a significant transformation in the American Republic.
The involvement of international bankers in this transition underscores their role not just as financial entities but as influential actors in the shaping of a nation’s destiny.
Americans Today are Living Under a Corporatocracy – Ignorant and Compliant
The changes initiated by the Act of 1871 continue to resonate in contemporary America.
The corporate governance model affects virtually every aspect of American lives, from the legal system and law enforcement to education, healthcare, and the economy.
This model prioritizes economic interests and efficiency over individual rights and liberties, leading to a society where corporate entities wield significant influence over public policy and decision-making.
The implications for everyday Americans today are profound.
It established a municipal corporation that, over time, has blurred the lines between the sovereign rights of the people and the privileges granted by a corporate state.
The transformation has led to an environment where the concept of freedom is more myth than reality, as individuals find themselves subject to an ever-expanding array of regulations, statutes, and contractual obligations that dictate their behavior and limit their liberties.
The notion of voluntary compliance with the system, driven by a combination of ignorance and apathy, has facilitated the perpetuation of this corporate governance model, further entrenching its influence over American life.
Moreover, the shift from a system based on inherent rights to one governed by statutory privileges has profound implications for the concept of citizenship itself.
Individuals are increasingly treated as customers or subjects within a corporate state, rather than as sovereign citizens of a republic.
This redefinition of the relationship between the individual and the state has led to a gradual but unmistakable dilution of the principles of liberty and self-governance that once defined the American experiment.
Bottom Line: There’s a Profound Difference Between the Original Constitutional Republic ‘United State of America’ vs. The ‘United States’ Corporation
This article outlined a seldom-discussed chapter of American history, uncovering the fundamental transformation of the ‘United States of America’ from the original Constitutional Republic, envisioned by the Founding Fathers, to the ‘United States’ corporate entity shaped by the Act of 1871.
This shift, driven by economic vulnerabilities and the strategic interests of international bankers, has redefined the essence of American governance and the very notion of our individual rights and freedoms within its borders.
The historical backdrop set against the aftermath of the Civil War highlighted the precarious situation America found itself in, leading to the enactment of the Act of 1871. This legislation, while ostensibly aimed at providing a governmental framework for the District of Columbia, effectively ushered in a new era of corporate governance.
It established a municipal corporation that, over time, has blurred the lines between the sovereign rights of the people and the privileges granted by a corporate state.
The role of international bankers in this historical narrative cannot be overstated.
Their influence in shaping the financial destiny of the post-Civil War America has had lasting implications, embedding a commercial ethos at the heart of American governance. This transformation has far-reaching consequences, affecting the daily lives and liberties of American citizens up to the present day.
The shift from tangible freedoms to a system of regulated ‘privileges’ (such as personal driving licenses) underlines the profound impact of the Act of 1871 and international banking interests on the American Republic.
The transition from a system of inalienable rights to one governed by ‘statutes and regulations’ challenges the core principles of freedom and liberty for all Americans.

A New Economic Landscape: The Declining Role Of The Petrodollar : Awake-In-3D
A New Economic Landscape: The Declining Role Of The Petrodollar
On February 6, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
The global economic landscape is on the cusp of a monumental shift as key oil-producing nations, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, are increasingly eyeing the Chinese yuan over the US dollar for oil trades.
This has considerably critical implications for not just for the oil market, but for the broader global economy, particularly impacting the US dollar’s global standing.
A New Economic Landscape: The Declining Role Of The Petrodollar
On February 6, 2024 By Awake-In-3D
The global economic landscape is on the cusp of a monumental shift as key oil-producing nations, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, are increasingly eyeing the Chinese yuan over the US dollar for oil trades.
This has considerably critical implications for not just for the oil market, but for the broader global economy, particularly impacting the US dollar’s global standing.
The Dollar’s Diminishing Dominance
The US dollar has long been the core currency of the global oil market, a status that has significantly bolstered its strength and stability on the world stage.
Also see: The Global Financial/Economic Landscape Transforming for a RESET – Here’s Why
However, the shift towards the yuan, and other currencies, for oil trades would trigger a decrease in global reliance on the dollar, which would have severe implications.
Dramatic Economic Consequences for the U.S.
Impact on Dollar Exchange Rates: A decrease in the global demand for the US dollar for oil trades could lead to a depreciation in its value. This devaluation could affect everything from the cost of imports and exports to the financial strategies of multinational corporations.
Reduced Demand for US Treasuries: The US dollar’s strength and stability have traditionally made US Treasury bonds a highly attractive investment for foreign governments and investors. A shift away from the dollar in oil trade could reduce this demand, potentially increasing interest rates in the US as the Treasury may have to offer higher yields to attract buyers.
Escalating US Inflation: The decreased demand for the dollar will lead to increased inflation in the US. As the dollar’s value drops, it would become more expensive to import goods, contributing to rising prices domestically.
Challenges in Exporting US Debt: A significant advantage for the US has been its ability to export its debt, borrowing money at relatively low interest rates due to the high demand for its debt instruments globally. A reduced demand for the dollar will disrupt this ability, leading to higher borrowing costs for the US government.
Global Economic Realignments: This shift might not only affect the US but will also lead to broader economic realignments. As countries adapt to new trading currencies, we will see significant changes in global trade partnerships and financial alliances.

What Does This Mean for the Average Person?
While these developments might seem distant, they will impact everyday life. From changes in gas prices to fluctuations in the stock market, the ripple effects of a shift in the global oil trade currency will reach the pockets of both consumers and investors alike.
While the full extent of these changes remains to be seen, the growing shift away from the US dollar in global oil trade signifies a major economic realignment with far-reaching implications.
Understanding the dynamics at play and their possible impacts is key to navigating this new economic terrain.

In a surprising economic update, the World Gold Council has identified Iraq as the seventh-largest buyer of gold among nations in 2023. This significant acquisition reflects the country’s strategic efforts to bolster its financial stability amidst global economic fluctuations.
Iraq’s move to secure 12.25 tons of gold in 2023, as reported by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), positioned the country as a key player in the global gold market.
The 2023 gold buying spree, with Iraq emerging as a significant participant, reflects an ongoing assertive approach by nations to fortify their financial reserves.
This strategic purchase not only highlights Iraq’s growing economic foresight but also underscores its commitment to enhancing its financial security and growing independence on the world stage.
In a year marked by unprecedented geopolitical uncertainties and economic shifts, gold’s allure as a steadfast asset has led countries worldwide to increase their reserves.
According to the World Gold Council, the overall gold purchases by central banks in 2023, though slightly less than the previous year, remained impressively high – the second-highest in nearly 55 years.
The data from the Council highlighted that the total amount of gold bought by central banks was 1,037.4 tons in 2023, a minor decrease from 1,081.9 tons in 2022.
Leading the charge was the People’s Bank of China, with a massive acquisition of 224.88 tons of gold. Following China were Poland with 130.3 tons and Singapore with 76.51 tons. Libya, the Czech Republic, and India also featured prominently in the list, showcasing significant investments in the precious metal.
Interestingly, Iraq wasn’t alone in this pursuit within the Arab world.
Libya and Qatar also ranked amongst the top 10 Arab countries in gold acquisition in 2023. This trend underlines a broader regional approach towards economic stability and diversification of assets.
The 2023 gold buying spree, with Iraq emerging as a significant participant, reflects an ongoing assertive approach by nations to fortify their financial reserves.
This trend will continue to influence global market dynamics and economic strategies in the foreseeable future.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, during last October’s engagement with the Iraqi diaspora in Russia, voiced the nation’s readiness to join the influential group, contingent upon an invitation from its founding members.
A Strategic Discussion Amidst Economic Reforms
The revelation came amidst Al-Sudani’s discussions on various economic reforms and bilateral relations during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A notable point of discussion was the potential use of the Iraqi dinar and the Russian ruble in bilateral trade, hinting at Iraq’s intent to diversify its economic partnerships and reduce dependency on traditional trade currencies.
Emphasis on Economic and Administrative Reforms
Al-Sudani underscored the Iraqi government’s commitment to significant economic and administrative reforms aimed at enhancing the living standards of its citizens.
The move towards joining BRICS is seen as part of a broader strategy to integrate Iraq more fully into the global economy through diversified alliances and economic partnerships.
Deepening Iraqi-Russian Relations
The discussions also touched on geopolitical issues, with Al-Sudani commending Russia’s stance on the Palestinian conflict and emphasizing the humanitarian concerns at its core.
Moreover, the Iraqi Prime Minister disclosed plans to establish an Iraqi cultural center in Moscow, symbolizing a deepening of the historical ties between Iraq and Russia.
BRICS: A Gateway to Emerging Economies
Joining BRICS, a coalition of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, represents a strategic move for Iraq to align itself with some of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
This association could provide Iraq with a platform to boost its economic profile, attract investments, and play a more influential role in global economic discussions.
