Treasury Metals Venezuela Gold UK Control

@venanalysis · Aug 16, 4:53 AM · 138.9K views

More sovereignty-undermining humiliation. Looks like the Venezuelan gold in the UK will finally be unfrozen, but instead of being handed to the country's authorities, the (corresponding) funds will go to the US Treasury and then be disbursed pending the approval of the imperial overlords while being subjected to "auditing firms" https://www.bancaynegocios.com/firmas-auditoras-internacionales-controlaran-uso-de-fondos-derivados-del-oro-bloqueado-en-inglaterra/

Hegemony World War Jewish Federal Debt US Debt National Debt China

Update: Mostly Economic Front

We’ve been maintaining all along that the Jewish Nationalist war on the world is a war to maintain global financialized hegemony. Every dollar that goes into a Chinese bond, instead of a US Treasury, is one less buyer at Bessent’s auctions. The AI buildout is going to become even more expensive to finance. China’s playing a very long game here. They are not interested in kinetic confrontation with the US military, so, they are setting the stage for fundamental bond market restructuring. This is the takeaway that’s happening. This is the strategic play happening behind all the noise. The UAE and China combining forces on RMB settlement is another own-goal for Trump. It follows what has happened over the last 3 years. It’s the same destructive pattern. The US drove Russia closer to China with all the sanctions, and the war on Iran drove global trade closer to China through inflation and energy destruction. Let’s not forget the tariff war as well. By dumping Euros to protect the USD, Bessent is now driving EU currency arrangements closer to China as well. There is an enormous amount of trade value waiting to be dedollarized between Europe and China. Bilateral trade between the EU and China exceeds 750 billion Euros annually. That is nearly 900 billion dollars worth of transactions that could shift away from dollar settlement. Sooner or later, a meaningful chunk of that trade will be invoiced in bilateral currencies directly. Both sides have clear financial incentives to make this happen. And when it does, the boomerang effect will hit the US bond market hard. EU and Chinese demand for US treasuries is going to decline even further from today’s falling levels. And Bessent is going to find fewer buyers at every auction. Yields are going to rise further and the debt interest burden on the US national debt is going to keep compounding. But that’s obvious.

COVID-19 America Fauci Vaccine Injuries Vaccine

@SenRonJohnson · Aug 16, 2:20 PM · 207.2K views

Replying to @SenRonJohnson | THERE’S MORE: In addition to the texts, @SenRandPaul and I released an email from Dr. Janet Woodcock from May 2021. Dr. Woodcock emailed Dr. Fauci about personally receiving reports of patients experiencing hard to classify adverse events: “no one takes them seriously, no one knows how to treat them, and there is no effort to study this.” Oddly, Dr. Anthony Fauci seemed reluctant to respond to her but felt he couldn’t ignore her. Why wasn’t the public alerted to their concerns? Why did they continue to push and mandate the COVID shot? Why weren’t Americans allowed fully informed consent? (2/2)🧵

MORE NEWS: Today, @SenRandPaul and I released additional context to Dr. Fauci’s message to Drs. Vivek Murthy and Rochelle Walensky expressing concerns about mRNA COVID shots “theoretically” resulting in “miscarriage in the 1st trimester.” On January 25, 2021, Dr. John Mascola, the then-Director
