Return of the Gold Standard as World Order Unravels

As the twin pillars of international monetary system threaten to come tumbling down in unison, gold has reclaimed its ancient status as the anchor of stability. The spot price surged to an all-time high of $1,594 an ounce in London, lifting silver to $39 in its train. On one side of the Atlantic, the eurozone debt crisis has spread to the countries that may be too big to save – Spain and Italy – though RBS thinks a €3.5 trillion rescue fund would ensure survival of Europe’s currency union.

The unthinkable is happening

On one side of the Atlantic, the eurozone debt crisis has spread to the countries that may be too big to save – Spain and Italy – though RBS thinks a €3.5 trillion rescue fund would ensure survival of Europe’s currency union.

As the twin pillars of international monetary system threaten to come tumbling down in unison, gold has reclaimed its ancient status as the anchor of stability.

On the other side, the recovery has sputtered out and the printing presses are being oiled again. Brinkmanship between the Congress and the White House over the US debt ceiling has compelled Moody’s to warn of a “very small but rising risk” that the world’s paramount power may default within two weeks. “The unthinkable is now thinkable,” said Ross Norman, director of thebulliondesk.com.

Fed chair Ben Bernanke confessed to Congress that growth has failed to gain traction. “Deflationary risks might re-emerge, implying a need for additional policy support,” he said.

The bar to QE3 – yet more bond purchases – is even lower than markets had thought. The new intake of hard-money men on the voting committee has not shifted Fed thinking, despite global anger at dollar debasement under QE2.

Fuelling the blaze, the emerging powers of Asia are almost all running uber-loose monetary policies. Most have negative real interest rates that push citizens out of bank accounts and into gold, or property. China is an arch-inflater. Prices are rising at 6.4pc, yet the one-year deposit rate is just 3.5pc. India’s central bank is far behind the curve.

“It is very scary: the flight to gold is accelerating at a faster and faster speed,” said Peter Hambro, chairman of Britain’s biggest pure gold listing Petropavlovsk.

“One of the big US banks texted me today to say that if QE3 actually happens, we could see gold at $5,000 and silver at $1,000. I feel terribly sorry for anybody on fixed incomes tied to a fiat currency because they are not going to be able to buy things with that paper money.” source – Telegraph UK

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1938: Vladmir Putin And Donald Trump Are Accused Of Dividing Up Europe Much Like Hitler And Mussolini Did Right Before WWII, Are They?

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s peace talks send a chilling ripple of déjà vu, a historian has warned, sending Europe and Ukraine ‘back to 1938’

Someone once remarked that ‘those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it’, and certainly that applies in this article here today. I honestly don’t know what Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are up to, but I will tell you this, they are up to something. It is highly unorthodox to hold peace talks to end a war, and then not allow the other party with whom the war is being waged to attend the meetings. I mean, how does that happen? It only happens when the terms of ending the war are being dictated from one side to the other. That’s not ‘peace talks’, that’s divide and conquer talks.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)

I do not see Donald Trump as the Antichrist, as some have said, and I do not see him as Hitler, either. But what I do see is a man that God has put into office, according to Daniel 2:21, to carry out His will in these end times. This may be hard for some of you to swallow, but God has no interest in ‘making America great again’, not by a long shot. What God does have an interest in is carrying out what He told the prophets would be taking place in the last days. I see Donald Trump as an unwitting messenger by whom many of these events will be fulfilled. Elon Musk is by Trump’s side for a reason, the quicker you figure that out the easier this thing will be for you to understand. Dark days are on the horizon, war is coming, and it will begin in Europe as did the other two. That’s the memo.

‘Land-grabbers’ Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin ‘send Europe back to 1938’ with Ukraine intrigue

FROM THE MIRROR UK: A top history expert has accused the two leaders of “land grabbing”, with events in recent days bearing a chilling echo of when dictators Hitler and Mussolini signed away territory which the UK and France agreed to as to not exacerbate tensions. The US and Russia leaders have already appeared to have charged ahead with Ukraine peace talks, effectively locking out Kyiv and other European leaders.

The Trump administration has said the UK and Europe would not play a part in any negotiations as they looked set to plough ahead with talks in Riyadh this week, prompting fierce criticism and concerns. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Washington DC next week after urging America to provide a “backstop” to any settlement brokered between Kyiv and Moscow. On Tuesday, Mr Trump said the US does not “need” to deploy peacekeeping troops and suggested Ukraine “should never have started” the war.

A British historian has already issued an urgent warning about history repeating itself, and has also likened the current situation to Hitler and Mussolini’s “land-grabbing” of the Sudetenland territory in September 1938. Professor Anthony Glees is an expert in European affairs and security who has previously spoken far and wide about the lessons taught by Hitler’s dictatorship.

 He told The Mirror: “I believe most sensible people the length and breadth of Europe are viewing these preparatory talks with a foreboding not experienced since 1938 when the UK & France met Hitler and Mussolini at Munich to sign away lands belonging to free Czechoslovakia to try to appease the fascist dictators. It was sold as ‘peace with honour’ and a ‘peace in our time’.

“But within months Hitler swallowed all of Czechoslovakia and within a year Europe was at war and millions died. Even Neville Chamberlain doubted his own deal because he began rapid rearmament programmes on his return to the UK.”

 Prof Glees added: “That’s the picture Europe has before its eyes right now. A small but brave free democracy fighting for its life is forced to be a bystander as its sovereignty is destroyed by Trump and Putin, both land grabbers, both megalomaniacs, brothers in bullying others.

“It’s outrageous that Trump has humiliated Zelensky in the past and now, literally, tramples over him. Whilst we know Putin is fully aware of the history of the last century, Trump, Hegseth and JD Vance are either clueless about what happens when free nations are sacrificed to war lords or (more likely) they couldn’t care less.”

So far, Britain has been making efforts to balance support for Ukraine alongside diplomacy with our biggest ally. The PM is now expected to try and bridge the gap when he visits the White House next week following an impromptu call from Trump last week, and is likely to call for security guarantees from the US.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with allies across the continent, have insisted that Kyiv must have a seat at the table in discussions over its future. Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida on Tuesday night, Mr Trump said that he was “disappointed” Mr Zelensky had complained about being left out of talks. He suggested Ukraine should have been willing to make concessions to Russia before the 2022 invasion, adding: “Today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited’. Well, you been there for three years. You should have ended it three years (ago). You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.” READ MORE

Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion of its neighbour. Speaking after talks between US and Russia on ending the war, the US President told Ukraine: “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal … I could have made a deal that would have given them almost all of the land.”

QUELLE HORREUR!! The French Government Has Just Been Toppled By The Far Right And Far Left, Where Does This Leave Our ‘Man Of Sin’ Emmanuel Macron?

Is this the end for Emmanuel Macron? French president facing calls to RESIGN after gov collapses & he’s left looking for 6th PM

For nearly 8 years, NTEB has been tagging French president Emmanuel Macron for the spot of the biblical ‘man of sin’ for reasons laid out in our article on him being the Assyrian. At multiple junctures during this period, Macron has been brought to the brink of ruin time and time again, only to rise up from the ashes more powerful than he was before. Yesterday in France, the people who populate the rather lengthy list of his enemies conspired together to topple the French government, and down it has come. What happens now?

“O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.” Isaiah 10:5 (KJB)

Not being a prophet and possessing zero psychic ability, I can only guess like all of you can, but I will say this. There is ‘something special’ about Emmanuel Macron, and I think he will figure this very dire situation out in short order. But even if he does not, he will not be at the ‘end of the road’ as I feel he is foreordained to ‘higher office’. Right now, 64% of French citizens want Macron out, but I am betting he is not fazed in the least. Emmanuel Macron is a man of destiny, and he will come up with the answers. He always does. Besides, being president of France is only the first step.

French President Emmanuel Macron is clinging onto power after another damaging political blow saw his government left in disarray.

FROM THE SUN US: His government collapsed last night after a historic vote of no-confidence was passed against Prime Minister Michel Barnier in the National Assembly. Macron is now on the hunt for his sixth PM during his stint as president but it comes amid calls for him to ultimately resign. The president has constantly vowed to serve out his term until 2027 despite his political rivals now calling for him to step down immediately.

The deputy of the far-left La France Insoumise party, Manuel Bompard, claimed today that Macron must leave to regain a sense of stability in Paris.

He told RTL France: “We are facing a situation of instability. I do not see, given the configuration of the National Assembly and the inability to compromise, a stable situation emerging.”

He also warned the next PM that they are walking into a poisoned seat. Bompard is adamant that another Macron ally shouldn’t be gifted the prestigious role like before as all it does is reinforce France’s “democratic problem”.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has also blasted Macron for failing to step aside and says he is going to “sacrifice the fate of France because of his vanity”.

Outgoing Barnier has already met with Macron today and is expected to formally announce his resignation later today. The 73-year-old former EU Brexit negotiator was only appointed in September – making him the shortest serving prime minister in French history.

Macron is also due to address the nation in a televised speech, according to the Elysee presidential palace.

The latest polls out of Paris say the people feel they are entering a period of politics that is incapable of ever moving forwards under a Macron government. Almost two-thirds of French citizens say they are in favour of him handing in his resignation, according to a Toluna-Harris survey for RTL. A staggering 64 per cent of respondents agreed Macron should step aside immediately. READ MORE

One day after the National Assembly ousted Prime Minister Michel Barnier, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to address the country on Thursday.

BLITZKREIG! Germany Is Preparing To Reactivate Their World War 2 Bomb Shelters To Protect Their Citizens As NATO Warns Of Coming ‘Wartime Scenario’

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Germany is drawing up a list of bunkers that could provide emergency shelter for civilians, with NATO warning at a time of rising tensions with Russia.

Donald Trump still has 56 days until he is sworn in as president of the United States, and by that time, he could easily be assassinated or World War 3 could be underway. A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China. Starmer in the UK and Emmanuel Macron in France are preparing to send in ground troops to Ukraine.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)

Remember back in the days right before the lockdowns? Everyone was whispering that something might be coming, could be coming, and then – WHAMMO!! – there it was. How long have we been doing the same with this seemingly inevitable buildup to World War 3 we’ve been watching and are watching unfold right now? The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has released a spine-chilling survival guide for a nuclear attack amid the escalating Ukraine conflict and intensifying Middle Eastern disputes. Echoing Cold War-era preparedness, the agency’s updated advice aims to shield Americans from the horrors of a nuclear explosion. World War 3 is absolutely coming, it’s only a question of when.

Germany draws up list of bunkers amid Russia tensions as NATO warns

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: The list would include underground train stations and car parks as well as state buildings and private properties, a ministry spokesperson said. A digital directory of bunkers and emergency shelters will be drawn up so people can find them quickly using a planned phone app. People would also be encouraged to create protective shelters in their homes by converting basements and garages, the spokesperson told a press briefing.

He declined to give a timetable, saying it was a big project that would take some time, involving the Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and other authorities.

The country of 84 million people has 579 bunkers, mostly from the second world war and the cold war era, which can provide shelter for 480,000 people, down from about 2,000 bunkers previously.

The spokesperson said the key points of the plan were agreed at a conference of senior officials in June and a special group was looking into it.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, concerns have been growing about Moscow’s potential to target other NATO members. In October, German intelligence chiefs warned that Russia would probably be capable of launching an attack on the military alliance by 2030. German officials say the country is already experiencing a sharp rise in Russian spying and sabotage activities. Last week the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said the conflict in Ukraine had characteristics of a “global” war and he did not rule out strikes on western countries. READ MORE
