Want the future in advance?

That’s what Jim Rickards is claiming to bring you.

In case you don’t know Rickards, he’s a somewhat legendary figure in the world of finance.

Definitely a lightning rod.

And we like lightning rods around here.

We like people who put out information and then stand behind it….

….people who are bold enough to put out something controversial!

Don’t want to make any enemies?

Don’t want to be criticized?

Stay in your parents’ basement and don’t ever do anything noteworthy in life.

But to the people who step out and go for it, we like those kind of people around here — even if they’re wrong sometimes.

Will Jim be wrong about this?

We will see soon, but I know one thing: it’s fascinating and we’re covering it here and warning you ahead of time!

So first of all, we have to explain who is Jim Rickards in the first place?

Jim is ex-CIA, which I always say is kind of a misnomer because are you ever really “ex” CIA?

I don’t think so.

Actually more accurately I believe the story goes that Jim was hired by the CIA to war plan financial attack scenarios that could bring down the USA.

Noble goal.

So if you want to find out what possible financial attacks could be launched against the USA you want to go to one of the best and most creative financial minds out there and so they went to Rickards.

So that’s the background of who he is and why he matters.

Now let’s cover his latest message, which is the BRICS nations will be adding new members and announcing an official gold-backed world currency on August 22, 2023 which will dethrone the dollar.

Sound familiar?

Sound exactly like what Bo Polny keeps telling us?

Pay attention folks, this is no game!

If and when the US Dollar collapses, you want to be on the right side of that collapse, because it will get VERY ugly, very fast.

Linda P. Jones is another notable figure in finance and her she is covering the same story — US Dollar “end” is August 22:

Whoa! Jim Rickards predicts the end of the US dollar hegemony will be August 22, 2023. Mark your calendars! #BRICS https://t.co/So2yhvf8gH

Here’s more on the plan, fully explained by MROnline:

In an op-ed posted on The Daily Reckoning on Tuesday, former CIA and Department of Defense advisor and investment banker James Rickards predicted that August 22 will be the day the U.S. dollar’s status, as the world reserve currency and medium for exchange will formally collapse.

Many factors are worth considering, including the weaponization of the dollar against Russia’s economy amid the conflict in Ukraine, the U.S.’ own national debt of $31 trillion, and recent talks on the part of the BRICS+ group to create an alternative trade and reserve currency that would rival the dollar.

“On August 22, about two-and-a-half months from today, the most significant development in international finance since 1971 will be unveiled,” Rickards writes in reference to the upcoming BRICS+ Leaders Summit which will unveil plans for substituting the dollar in global trade.

What is interesting to note is that on that same day in 1971, August 22 was also the day the U.S. dropped the gold standard. “It involves the rollout of a major new currency that could weaken the role of the dollar in global payments and ultimately displace the U.S. dollar as the leading payment currency and reserve currency,” Rickards added, noting that the shift could span over a period of “just a few years.”

Rickards says the push for a new currency spearheaded by the BRICS+ group will “affect world trade, direct foreign investment and investor portfolios in dramatic and unforeseen ways,” and cause an “unprecedented […] geopolitical shockwave.”

He also said that the BRICS+ plans for expansion are “the most important development of the BRICS system,” noting that eight countries have so far already applied for membership, along with twelve others expressing an interest in joining the bloc, including Saudi Arabia, which assisted the U.S. in propelling the dollar currency to the status of world hegemon through establishing the petrodollar system.

“There’s more to this list than just increasing the headcount at future BRICS meetings,” Rickards emphasized, pointing out that “if Saudi Arabia and Russia are both members, you have two of the three largest energy producers under one tent (the U.S. is the other member of the energy Big Three).”

On another note, the BRICS countries make up 30 percent of the world’s surface, with 50 percent of global wheat and rice production, and 15 percent of the planet’s gold reserves. It accounts for 40 percent of the world population, 28 percent of nominal GDP (pending Saudi Arabia’s membership), and 52 percent is measured under the PPP formula.

“By every measure—population, landmass, energy output, GDP, food output, and nuclear weapons—BRICS is not just another multilateral debating society. They are a substantial and credible alternative to Western hegemony,” Rickards said.

Accordingly, when the bloc launches its new currency, it will not simply “fall on an empty field,” but be integrated “into a sophisticated network of capital and communications,” which should “greatly enhance its chances of success,” he argued.

Elsewhere in the op-ed, Rickards said that the BRICS currency is expected to be pegged to a basket of trade commodities or gold, and will likely appear in the form of a digital currency instead of paper money.

He also said that chances for success for the BRICS currency to replace the U.S. dollar will depend on the formation of an alternative to the U.S. bonds market which is seen as the safest bet to safeguard assets value.

“The key is to create a BRICS+ currency bond market in 20 or more countries at once, relying on retail investors in each country to buy the bonds. The BRICS+ bonds would be offered through banks and postal offices and other retail outlets. They would be denominated in BRICS+ currency, but investors could purchase them in local currency at market-based exchange rates. Since the currency is gold-backed it would offer an attractive store of value compared with inflation,” Rickards writes.

He added that “if the BRICS+ use a kind of Liberty Bond patriotic model, they may well be able to create international reserve assets denominated in the BRICS+ currency even in the absence of developed market support. This entire turn of events—introduction of a new gold-backed currency, rapid adoption as a payment currency, and gradual use as a reserve asset currency—will begin on August 22, 2023, after years of development.”

The collective push to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency has much to do with Washington’s “weaponization of the dollar through the use of sanctions,” Rickards writes.

Are you paying attention?

Got gold?

You’re going to wish you have some if Rickards is right!

Here’s Why Central Banks Are Buying All the Gold They Can — And What YOU Can Do!

For the last year, central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now, we see why.

The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the “elites” and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals.

If you’ve been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you’re family, I’m happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love!

Precious metals.

I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I’m bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you’re so inclined…

A faith-driven, conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis, their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site.

Unlike most companies offering similar services, Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer “virtual” or “paper” gold or silver.

With Genesis and their depositories, customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions, Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door.

Central bankers aren’t slowing down. In fact, nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear, it’s understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store.

Working with Genesis is the best way our readers can explore the physical precious metals market through self-directed IRAs. It benefits us as well when our readers work with this America-First company.

Don’t wait too long, we might have more bank failures right around the corner.

You know what has NEVER “failed”?

Gold. Precious metals. Indestructible.

There’s a reason they call it “God’s money”.

Don’t wait until it’s too late!
