Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Mark Moss Show,
Speaker 1: where each and every week we talk about, of course,
Speaker 1: the decentralized revolution, but you know that by now, of
Speaker 1: course we talk about the way the world is changing.
Speaker 1: Looking at through the lens of politics, finance, and technology.
Speaker 1: Those three things together are the driving forces for what
Speaker 1: the world is going through. Of course, the financial system
Speaker 1: is a creator and collapsing all around us. The political system,
Speaker 1: of course is breaking down. And then we have the
Speaker 1: introduction of new technology that is of course what changes
Speaker 1: the world as we know it, and so we look
Speaker 1: at it through the lens of that so we can
Speaker 1: kind of really see this play by play. Um, it's
Speaker 1: important to understand it from that level what I would
Speaker 1: like to call signposts, because you don't know when a
Speaker 1: market's topped or a market's bottomed until you're looking backwards.
Speaker 1: When you're living through at the time, you don't realize that.
Speaker 1: You also don't realize that when a society has peaked
Speaker 1: or a new one has started until you're looking backwards
Speaker 1: on it. When the Roman Empire collapsed, they didn't know
Speaker 1: the Roman Empire had apps. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: the Roman Empire thought that there was still a Roman
Speaker 1: empire for quite a while hundreds of years, but only
Speaker 1: now historians actually pinpoint the date of the Roman Empire collapse.
Speaker 1: And so typically you don't understand it as you're going
Speaker 1: through it. And also these things take time, they take
Speaker 1: a long time to happen, and so on a daily basis,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the frog in the in the
Speaker 1: and the boiling pot of water, the proverbial boiling pot
Speaker 1: of water, that you don't really notice these incremental changes.
Speaker 1: But if you want to navigate this properly, then it's
Speaker 1: it's important to understand what's happening so you can navigate
Speaker 1: this properly, and and it helps to have this big,
Speaker 1: drawn out viewpoint. And of course that's what we talked
Speaker 1: about each and every week. UM Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, which technology
Speaker 1: that's actually driving this change. UM at a point when
Speaker 1: the world is already moving in that direction. Of course,
Speaker 1: we've talked about this on a two year time frame.
Speaker 1: The political world is moving now. I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: super deep into that, but today I want to spend
Speaker 1: some time to break down a couple of stories news
Speaker 1: stories that have come out in the last week that
Speaker 1: really are really heavy what we call signposts that show
Speaker 1: what's happening. Now, what happens is if you've ever heard
Speaker 1: of the book The Fourth Turning. If you haven't, I
Speaker 1: would recommend checking it out. The book that it's called
Speaker 1: The Fourth Turning and it highlights an eighty year cycle.
Speaker 1: Now I like to look at a two and year cycle,
Speaker 1: but um, really it's an eighty four year cycle. Three
Speaker 1: times eighty four equals two two, So um, every third
Speaker 1: cycle is the big one. But if you understand just
Speaker 1: one of these smaller eighty year cycles, as highlighted by
Speaker 1: the book The Fourth Turning, they talk about it in
Speaker 1: four twenty year periods, and the fourth one, the fourth
Speaker 1: twenty year period, the end of the eighty year period
Speaker 1: is where all the change happens. And so you probably
Speaker 1: heard the quote v Vladimir Lenin said that there's decades
Speaker 1: where nothing seems to happen, and then there's days where
Speaker 1: decades seem to happen. And that part specifically right there
Speaker 1: is what he's talking about at the four Attorney. This
Speaker 1: where all the change happens, and that's basically what we're
Speaker 1: living through right now. A lot of people who are
Speaker 1: up on this theory it's also called generational theory, UM.
Speaker 1: And so you might have heard the saying like hard
Speaker 1: times creates strong men. Strong men create great times. Great
Speaker 1: times create weak men, and weak men create bad times.
Speaker 1: Now bad times create strong men. And so it's a cycle.
Speaker 1: It's a cycle. UM. To illustrate this, to kind of
Speaker 1: put it into terms, my grandfather grew up on a
Speaker 1: farm in Iowa. UM. He was a farmer. He was
Speaker 1: the probably the hardest working man I could have ever
Speaker 1: imagined living on the land. Living on the farm, while
Speaker 1: today many people think of it as like this fairy
Speaker 1: tale experience, it's not like to grow your own food
Speaker 1: and sell your own clothes, and I mean everything you
Speaker 1: have to do, bill your own house. I mean it's
Speaker 1: insane amount of work. And so he was the hardest
Speaker 1: working man ever. My dad, the second generation, grew up
Speaker 1: on the farm, and my father is also like the
Speaker 1: hardest worker I've ever seen in my life. My father, UM,
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I would still go to
Speaker 1: the farm when my grandfather lived there, and my my
Speaker 1: father would be loaned out. My grandfather would actually loan
Speaker 1: my father out like two other neighbors to help them
Speaker 1: with their crops. I mean, that's just how they did it.
Speaker 1: Back then. Community was super important to them. But they
Speaker 1: worked super hard, you know, planting the fields and bringing
Speaker 1: in the harvest and managing the cattle and all those things.
Speaker 1: But my father left the farm. He didn't want to
Speaker 1: be a farmer. As a matter of fact, none of
Speaker 1: my dad's uncle's uh aunts wanted to take over the farm,
Speaker 1: and so they all left and my dad became a
Speaker 1: construction worker. And he was the hardest man I've ever
Speaker 1: hardest working man I've ever known. I remember at one
Speaker 1: point towards the end of his career, I asked him,
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, don't you just want to take a vacation.
Speaker 1: I'm all about like traveling all over the world and
Speaker 1: taking vacations and going on surf trips. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: don't you want to take a vacation? And he said no,
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I don't. I just I just work
Speaker 1: like And I was so shocking to me, but it
Speaker 1: really illustrates the point. But the point is that my father,
Speaker 1: my grandfather, was a hard working man ever on the farm.
Speaker 1: The next generation, my father left the farm, he didn't
Speaker 1: want to work that hard. Although in my opinion, was
Speaker 1: still an amazing hard worker, but not as hard. I
Speaker 1: visited the farm when I was a kid, and I
Speaker 1: was forced to go work construction with my dad when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and that built an amazing work
Speaker 1: ethic in me. So I'm a really hard worker, but
Speaker 1: nowhere near like my dad, nowhere near like my grandfather.
Speaker 1: Third generation, and now my kids, the fourth generation. I
Speaker 1: can't even get him to clear the dinner table. And
Speaker 1: that's how weak they are. And so the great times
Speaker 1: that have been created in me has now created a
Speaker 1: weak generation, which I'm not super happy to say. Sorry, kids,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, no, don't worry. We're goneto shaped up.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of highlights this generational theory, and that's
Speaker 1: part of the reason why we see these cycles as
Speaker 1: they go through. Another illustration will be Germany. Look at
Speaker 1: Germany after World War Two. Um, the entire country was
Speaker 1: bombed out, was destroyed right broken down them and then
Speaker 1: they had to pay reparations. They had to pay back
Speaker 1: a lot of this money, which is part of the
Speaker 1: reason why they went broke. We had hyper inflation in Germany.
Speaker 1: People were so poor in Germany. They were literally burning
Speaker 1: money in the fire because it was cheaper than burning would,
Speaker 1: which um, history doesn't repeat, it rhymes or kind of repeats.
Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, I put out a
Speaker 1: tweet I think yesterday and I said, uh, the prices
Speaker 1: of elect of energy have gone up so high in
Speaker 1: Germany over a thousand percent um. And I put out
Speaker 1: a picture of the chart on Twitter and I said, um,
Speaker 1: at this rate, I think Germans might it might be
Speaker 1: cheaper to burn money than it will be would And
Speaker 1: that's not it was. It was kind of said tongue
Speaker 1: in cheek, but it was actually, you know, the best
Speaker 1: jokes have truth in them. If you're not following me
Speaker 1: on Twitter, by the way, please do check it out
Speaker 1: at Twitter at one Mark Moss, just the number one
Speaker 1: at one Mark Moss on social media Instagram, Twitter, hit
Speaker 1: me up on social media, let me know you're listening,
Speaker 1: and asked me a question. But and I put out
Speaker 1: good little tidbits of information like that. But Germany had
Speaker 1: these hard times. The whole country was bombed out. They
Speaker 1: had to pay this massive amount of debt back and
Speaker 1: they had hyper inflation. Uh, they couldn't survive. They were
Speaker 1: burning wood money in their fireplace was cheaper than would
Speaker 1: but those hard times created really strong men, and then
Speaker 1: Germany rose from the ashes, and those strong men created
Speaker 1: great times, and Germany is known as the economic engine,
Speaker 1: the economic powerhouse of Europe because those strong men created
Speaker 1: such great times. But the problem is there's those those
Speaker 1: great times created week men, and those week men have
Speaker 1: created really bad times. And as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: those week men have created such bad times for Germany
Speaker 1: that they're about to start all the way back over
Speaker 1: again and could be burning money in their fireplace, because
Speaker 1: that's how bad off the country is, through a series
Speaker 1: of bad decisions, bad investments, because these weak men don't
Speaker 1: have any grounding in reality. They forgot what it really takes.
Speaker 1: So for example, they cut their work weeks down. We
Speaker 1: don't need to work forty hours a week. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Let's work less than forty hours a week. Okay, um uh,
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't need energy. We're gonna come
Speaker 1: up with this fake renewable energy. We'll just get all
Speaker 1: our energy from unicorns and rainbows and solar panels and windmills,
Speaker 1: except where it doesn't work that way, And now they
Speaker 1: have no energy, which is why their energy prices up
Speaker 1: a thousand percent, and they're about to freeze to death
Speaker 1: this winter. And so those those the strongmen created week
Speaker 1: great times. Those great times create week man. This week
Speaker 1: many created bad times, and that's where they're at, and
Speaker 1: unfortunately they have to get through this. But I believe
Speaker 1: these hard times will create strongmen again. All right, So
Speaker 1: that's kind of how this works. But what I want
Speaker 1: to talk about today is something bigger than that. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about some new stories that happened today.
Speaker 1: So you can see these signposts, and I'm gonna lay
Speaker 1: out where I think the world is going, how it's
Speaker 1: going to change over the next two to eight years,
Speaker 1: and what you should be doing about that. We're gonna
Speaker 1: look at it from the singular polar world to a
Speaker 1: multipolar world. We're gonn look at it from the political standpoint,
Speaker 1: money standpoint, an energy standpoint. And I'm even gonna give
Speaker 1: you some steps and some tips of what I'm doing
Speaker 1: to protect myself a navig it through this and stuff
Speaker 1: that you can do as well. So I got a
Speaker 1: whole lots of cover. By the way, you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Mark Moa show, of course, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: decentralized revolution. Each and every week through the lens of politics, finance,
Speaker 1: and technology. Of course, that technology is bitcoin, cryptocurrencies is
Speaker 1: changing the world as we know it. And while the
Speaker 1: world is scary and it's dangerous and it's uncertain, if
Speaker 1: you navigate it correctly, it could be amazing, which is
Speaker 1: my goal for of course, me and my family, and
Speaker 1: it's my goal for you as well. So we listen
Speaker 1: to the Mark Ma Show. Will be back in a
Speaker 1: minute with more. Don't go away, were back, all right,
Speaker 1: welcome back. You are listening to the Mark Ma Show,
Speaker 1: and we have a big show for you today. So
Speaker 1: it's a good day to join in, good day to
Speaker 1: jump in work. Each and every week we talked about
Speaker 1: the decentralized revolution, the way the world is changing right
Speaker 1: before our very eyes. And I'm giving you the play
Speaker 1: by play, giving you the signpost of how that's working out.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to run through all that again, but
Speaker 1: we look at the decentralized revolution each and every week
Speaker 1: through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, those three things.
Speaker 1: Of course, the technology we're talking about bitcoin, the de
Speaker 1: central as revolution that's happening. Now. Real quick about signposts, um,
Speaker 1: if I was going to give you directions to my house.
Speaker 1: You don't know where I live. Um, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you directions. But I'm but I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: kind of basic directions. And so the directions would be like, um,
Speaker 1: drive down this highway until you see this blue um barn,
Speaker 1: and then turn right, and then drive until you see
Speaker 1: this billboard and make a left, and then drive until
Speaker 1: you see the old fence. And at the end of
Speaker 1: the fence you're gonna hang it right and then at
Speaker 1: this right. And I'm giving you these signs signed posts,
Speaker 1: but I don't tell you how long it's gonna take
Speaker 1: you or how far it is in between each one
Speaker 1: of those right, But each time you see one of
Speaker 1: the signposts, you realize you're getting closer and closer and closer.
Speaker 1: Now you don't know how long the told trip is
Speaker 1: gonna take you, but you know you're getting closer because
Speaker 1: you're checking them off. And eventually you only have one
Speaker 1: or two signposts left, and you know you're getting very close.
Speaker 1: And so that's what we're talking about. A signposts with
Speaker 1: each one of these news stories is a signpost show
Speaker 1: you this is what's happening, this is confirming what we believe.
Speaker 1: Another way to look at it would be the way
Speaker 1: that like, uh, the CIA and the FBI do like
Speaker 1: risk assessment, and so what they would do is they'd say, hey,
Speaker 1: there's this event, Um, we think there's these potential risks.
Speaker 1: We think there could be you know, this this shooting
Speaker 1: or this bombing or whatever it may be. And so
Speaker 1: they'll put out these different risks and they'll say, if
Speaker 1: this is going to happen, then this, this, this, this,
Speaker 1: and this would come true. But if this is going
Speaker 1: to happen, then it would be this, this, this, and
Speaker 1: this would come true. And then what they do is
Speaker 1: they monitor the situation and they see which path we
Speaker 1: start be going down. And then as as these things
Speaker 1: start getting checked off, they go, oh, this is the
Speaker 1: most probable outcome. And so that's also kind of what
Speaker 1: these signposts are as well, is it shows us what
Speaker 1: the most probable outcome is based off of what these are.
Speaker 1: That's why it's super important for us to understand this.
Speaker 1: And then of course we can move and change and
Speaker 1: bob and weave or whatever to stay one step ahead. Now,
Speaker 1: I want to stay one step ahead with my money
Speaker 1: because not only do I want not want to lose
Speaker 1: my money. I want to make more money. I also
Speaker 1: want to stay one step ahead for my freedom. I
Speaker 1: don't want to lose my freedom. I don't want to
Speaker 1: end up in a country lockdown where I can't leave
Speaker 1: and I can't do all the freedoms that I that
Speaker 1: I've grown grown up being able to do in America,
Speaker 1: you know, like what's happened in Australia or in Canada.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get locked in a country lockdown,
Speaker 1: and so I pay attention to these things for those reasons.
Speaker 1: Now let's let's let's dig into a couple of them.
Speaker 1: So first off, moving from a single, singular, polar world
Speaker 1: to a multipolar world. So um, on a two fifty
Speaker 1: year time frame, the world moves to centralization and then
Speaker 1: it moved back to decentralization. Extensive talks on this. If
Speaker 1: you I'm not going to dig deep into that. If
Speaker 1: you want to go more, go into my YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Just search Mark moss on YouTube and look at a playlist,
Speaker 1: and there's one on three cycles, and there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of videos, and I break all this down in super
Speaker 1: deep details. So just go to YouTube and search Mark
Speaker 1: moss um hit me, hit me, on social media at
Speaker 1: one Mark Moss and I'll send your links. Um okay,
Speaker 1: so um. The world has been moving to the singular
Speaker 1: polar world, which of course is easy to understand. We
Speaker 1: have the World at Comic Forum, the World Trade Organization,
Speaker 1: the World Health Organization, World Mediological Association, with the I
Speaker 1: m F, we got the U, N et cetera. And
Speaker 1: then we have the dollar, of course, which is the
Speaker 1: reserve currency of the world. Now, in four, at Bretton
Speaker 1: Wood's agreement, the you know, most of the developed world
Speaker 1: got together and voted and agreed to have a one
Speaker 1: world currency where the dollar would be backed by gold,
Speaker 1: and then all the other currencies would be pegged to
Speaker 1: the dollar, so visa v they're all backed by gold.
Speaker 1: So the whole world agreed to that in four to
Speaker 1: have this one world monetary system. And since nineteen four
Speaker 1: the world has been moving more and more centralized. Like
Speaker 1: I said, the creation of the UN, creation of the
Speaker 1: I m F at that time, creation of the EU,
Speaker 1: creation of the World that Coming Forum ninety one, all
Speaker 1: these things have continued to push this closer and closer
Speaker 1: to centralization, a multi singular polar world. But now that's
Speaker 1: all breaking apart, right, So we see this. So the
Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine situation has really really exaggerated this in a way,
Speaker 1: and to the point now where we have Russia and
Speaker 1: China are kind of teaming up and moving everybody moving
Speaker 1: to the rest of the world away from the United
Speaker 1: States grip not just the United States grip um on money,
Speaker 1: but even on global trade and things like that um.
Speaker 1: And so we see that now. Part of that is
Speaker 1: is what's being done through what's called the Bricks b
Speaker 1: R I c S. Bricks and the Bricks Nations stands
Speaker 1: for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and the
Speaker 1: Bricks Nations kind of have their own trade organizations and
Speaker 1: they kind of they work together collectively. And what we've
Speaker 1: seen since the Russia situation, partly because of what happened
Speaker 1: with Russia. Russia decided to invade Ukraine, and the you know,
Speaker 1: the the United States and NATO basically worked really hard
Speaker 1: to shut them down, to sanction them, to seize their
Speaker 1: bank accounts, freeze their bank accounts um and basically just
Speaker 1: wipe them out. Now, the only country that's allowed to
Speaker 1: actually go in a agressively you know bomb other nations
Speaker 1: is the United States. The United States has no problem
Speaker 1: dropping bombs in the Middle East for decades. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we spent twenty trillion dollars doing just
Speaker 1: that over the last two decades um in Afghanistan. Um.
Speaker 1: So the US can do that. We can go drop
Speaker 1: bombs all day on people we don't know, with drone
Speaker 1: strikes and whatnot. But if another nation does it, uh,
Speaker 1: we got problems. Um. And so that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: where we're at that now. I'm not condoning that. I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of violence. I think everybody should just
Speaker 1: stand down. I want to see the end of the
Speaker 1: giant nation state, which of course that's what we're witnessing
Speaker 1: right now. So I'm not condoning that, but that's what
Speaker 1: it is. But because of that, once Russia had their
Speaker 1: bank accounts seased, then all the other nations are like, well, shoot,
Speaker 1: if they're a nuclear power, you know, they're one of
Speaker 1: three global superpowers and they have nukes, and if they
Speaker 1: can get their bank accounts sees, what hope do I have?
Speaker 1: And of course the answer is none, They have no hope.
Speaker 1: And so that's why they're all like, well, shoot, we
Speaker 1: better banded together. And do something else. China and Russia
Speaker 1: have been working together exclusively, and so now these bricks
Speaker 1: Nations have been growing. More nations want to join the
Speaker 1: bricks and so we've seen earlier a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: Iran and Argentina applied to become part of the bricks Nations.
Speaker 1: Now we have Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey trying to
Speaker 1: become part of the bricks Nations. Now, Saudi Arabia has
Speaker 1: a very very very big and pivotal piece of this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break that down for you. Why Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 1: of course you probably know all of those nations I
Speaker 1: mentioned is where the world gets their oil. We're gonna
Speaker 1: come back to that. So the bricks Nations are growing now.
Speaker 1: The bricks Nations today account for over half of the
Speaker 1: world's population. So more than half of the people alive
Speaker 1: in the world today are in part of these bricks Nations. Now,
Speaker 1: from a GDP standpoint, they're not the United States. The
Speaker 1: United States is uh is is amazing, The United States
Speaker 1: is amazingly blessed. I'm not super happy with the direction
Speaker 1: that the United States is going, but America the piece
Speaker 1: of and we are blessed by God. We have oceans
Speaker 1: on both sides of us. We have rivers that run throughout.
Speaker 1: We have the most arable land. We have the best
Speaker 1: land to grow food. We have all our own energy,
Speaker 1: we have the best climate. I mean, there's no other
Speaker 1: place on this earth like America, the North American continent, um,
Speaker 1: but other nations still exist. So they're still there. And
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, like I said, more than
Speaker 1: half the world joins the bricks nations. Now, what that's
Speaker 1: doing is that's breaking apart the singular polar world and
Speaker 1: it's breaking it back into a multipolar world at least
Speaker 1: into two, probably into three different kind of poles. Now,
Speaker 1: part of that is the people, but part of it
Speaker 1: is the money, and part of it is the energy.
Speaker 1: So I want to break those down for you a
Speaker 1: little bit. Now, big, big, big news happened on both
Speaker 1: those fronts. And where the money and the energy goes,
Speaker 1: which maybe money is energy, where that goes the rest
Speaker 1: of the world goes. I'm gonna break that down for
Speaker 1: you're listening to the Markma Show, of course, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the decentralized revolution. Each end every week. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break this down for you. I gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what you should be doing about it and what's
Speaker 1: going to happen in the future. Get your pen in
Speaker 1: the paper and don't go away. I'll be right back,
Speaker 1: all right, Welcome back. You are listening to the Markma
Speaker 1: Show and we are talking about the same thing needing
Speaker 1: every week, the decentralized revolution, giving you to play by play,
Speaker 1: giving you the signpost of how the world is shifting
Speaker 1: from a singular pollar to a multipolar world looking at
Speaker 1: through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. Of course,
Speaker 1: that technology is bitcoin, um, and at a very interesting
Speaker 1: time when the financial system is crashing and the political
Speaker 1: system is changing, and then we have a new technology
Speaker 1: like bitcoin. Alright, so big news happened this week. UM.
Speaker 1: On the on the money front, so UM. The dollars
Speaker 1: the reserve currency of the world, but most central banks
Speaker 1: around the world still hold massive amounts of gold. Gold
Speaker 1: has been money for five thousand years, and they want
Speaker 1: to hold gold. The problem with gold, and especially younger
Speaker 1: people today, they've kind of given up on gold. And
Speaker 1: part of the reason why they've got upon gold is
Speaker 1: one because the government's want people to give up on gold.
Speaker 1: In ninety three. Is a matter of fact, America made
Speaker 1: it illegal. Well one, they stole, yes, I'm using the
Speaker 1: word the government stole. They seized every American's golde x
Speaker 1: six D one O two. Then they made it illegal
Speaker 1: for Americans to own gold. It's insane. Of course they
Speaker 1: gave it back. Um, we got the ability to own
Speaker 1: go back back in nine seventy five, and now we
Speaker 1: can own gold. Cool, congratulations. But they've they've kind of
Speaker 1: tarnished it. They've kind of taken away the draw. So
Speaker 1: a lot of people look at golden like, why the
Speaker 1: hell would I own gold? It doesn't even go up
Speaker 1: in value. Look at it barely even changes. Well, it
Speaker 1: doesn't lose value either. So gold is basically flat for
Speaker 1: the last two years, which is pretty good in a
Speaker 1: world where all the stock markets are down, realist real
Speaker 1: estates coming down. Bitcoin's gone down, but gold has still
Speaker 1: hold held its values. That's pretty good. What people don't
Speaker 1: realize is that the central banks are the ones buying it.
Speaker 1: The central banks have been adding more gold to their
Speaker 1: balance sheets to the last couple of years, and they
Speaker 1: have in any time in history. Since nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 1: We came off the gold standard and so. But the
Speaker 1: problem is is back to that price of gold. The
Speaker 1: price of gold is so heavenly manipulated, that's part of
Speaker 1: the reason why people don't want to buy it. But
Speaker 1: the problem is is that as more nations want to
Speaker 1: move the gold, they want to get out of the
Speaker 1: dollar and move into gold instead. So instead of reserving
Speaker 1: their savings in dollars that could be seized like what
Speaker 1: happened to Russia, they would want to store their wealth
Speaker 1: in gold. But the problem is is the gold market
Speaker 1: is not really big enough to do that as is
Speaker 1: right now, unless the price of gold were to go up.
Speaker 1: So right now, with the gold markets about you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know ten twelve trillion dollars, of which only
Speaker 1: you know eight or nine of that trillion is held
Speaker 1: by central banks. But we need way more than that,
Speaker 1: but there's not enough gold for that. So the price
Speaker 1: of gold needs to go up to five thousand ouns
Speaker 1: or ten thousand mounds or fifty thousand and ounds, and
Speaker 1: then we can do that. But the problem is a
Speaker 1: group called the l b m A has been pushing
Speaker 1: that down. The stands for the London Buoyon Market Association,
Speaker 1: and they been rigging the price of gold for a
Speaker 1: long time, in conjunction with the giant paper markets that
Speaker 1: we have in the United States. I'm talking about like
Speaker 1: the futures markets and things like that. Now we've been
Speaker 1: seeing many people, especially JP Morgan, has been getting nailed.
Speaker 1: People have been going to jail for rigging the gold market.
Speaker 1: They do something called spoofing, where they're doing all these
Speaker 1: paper trades, meaning they're they're they're affecting, they're manipulating the
Speaker 1: price of gold by doing fake trades without ever having
Speaker 1: any gold in the first place, which is insane. Um.
Speaker 1: I could do a whole video just on that, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dive into that. But between the paper
Speaker 1: gold markets and the LBM A Lennon Buolio Market Association,
Speaker 1: they rigged the price of gold. They hold it down.
Speaker 1: The price of gold is found every morning by a
Speaker 1: couple of old guys get on the phone and saying, Hey, Joe, Jack, Bill,
Speaker 1: what do you think we should price the what should
Speaker 1: we put gold out today? Okay, great? And they hang up.
Speaker 1: So there's no free market, there's no price discovery happening
Speaker 1: on there. So Russia doesn't like that. The Bricks Nations
Speaker 1: don't like that, and they've announced UM a competitor to
Speaker 1: the l b m A, and they believe right off
Speaker 1: the bat, we could see the price of goal jump
Speaker 1: from about seventeen fifty announced to Likens if they are
Speaker 1: able to pull this off, which I think they can.
Speaker 1: And they can pull it off because the nations of
Speaker 1: the bricks are the ones that actually control the resources
Speaker 1: for gold. What do I mean by that? UM, the
Speaker 1: non bricks nations, the United States, etcetera, what they consider
Speaker 1: hostile nations, produce about of the world's gold, not shabby.
Speaker 1: The non bricks nations, the US and other hostil nations
Speaker 1: about the world's gold. But the bricks nations produce over
Speaker 1: sixty percent of the gold. So you almost think like, well,
Speaker 1: the nations that produced the gold, UM should probably be
Speaker 1: the ones that set the price of gold because it's
Speaker 1: always supply and demand. That's exactly the way they see it.
Speaker 1: So Russia is now working with all these bricks nations
Speaker 1: to set up a brand new financial system and a
Speaker 1: brand new lb M A competitor. And everyone knows the
Speaker 1: LBMA is rigged. Everybody knows it's rigged. Everybody knows they
Speaker 1: suppressed the price everybody hates it, But what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do. How are you gonna fix it? Well, if
Speaker 1: there's a competitor, then you use the competitor, right, That's
Speaker 1: why we always need competition. Competition always brings better products,
Speaker 1: better service, better prices always, which is why it's so important.
Speaker 1: Which is why socialism, communism, fascism, but never works. All
Speaker 1: they want to do is monopolize um, the nationalized the
Speaker 1: means of production, take away all competition and just set
Speaker 1: the prices of everything. That's never gonna work. We want
Speaker 1: businesses to compete. The l b m A is crooked,
Speaker 1: point blank, They're crooked. They manipulate the price of money.
Speaker 1: We need a competitor, and it looks like we're gonna
Speaker 1: have one now. If they break that, then they break
Speaker 1: the monetary system apart. Because the dollar, you know, these
Speaker 1: non bricks nations London, who don't even produce any gold
Speaker 1: in America set in the price. If they can take
Speaker 1: that away, then gold could find its own free price.
Speaker 1: If that happens, then a lot of people want to
Speaker 1: move into gold and out of the dollars. Do you
Speaker 1: see how fast that could start to break things down?
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. Now a lot of people
Speaker 1: want this. All the Bricks Nations want this. Half the
Speaker 1: people in the world want this. I feel it could
Speaker 1: probably happen. Now let's move on to energy for a minute.
Speaker 1: Same thing. What's happening with energy? Oh well' the same
Speaker 1: thing as well. Now energy. We cannot live without it, period,
Speaker 1: point blank. That's it. Without energy, we die. Now, if
Speaker 1: you live on a tropical island, you might be able
Speaker 1: to live without energy. Anywhere else in the world. You
Speaker 1: need air conditioning, you need heat. Uh, people die every
Speaker 1: day around the world because they don't have enough energy.
Speaker 1: We need it. We can't live without it. We can't
Speaker 1: transport stuff around right, Well, that mostly comes from oil
Speaker 1: fossil fuel still today, and the Saudi Prince Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: going back to Saudi Arabia wanting to join the Bricks
Speaker 1: Nations um. Saudi Arabia controls the majority of the oil
Speaker 1: through what's known as the Opeque Nations, and the Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabian Energy Minister, Prince abdu les Is Ben Solomon. Sorry
Speaker 1: if I pronounced that wrong, I'm sure I did. He
Speaker 1: said that extreme volatility and lack of liquidity means the
Speaker 1: future markets is increasingly disconnected from the fundamentals, and OPEC,
Speaker 1: which is the nation's in the Middle East that control
Speaker 1: that may be forced to cut production. So he came
Speaker 1: out and said basically the same thing. Look, you guys
Speaker 1: are manipulating the markets through all this paper trading, all
Speaker 1: this fuper future future stuff. He says, quote the paper
Speaker 1: and physical markets have become increasingly more disconnected. Now he
Speaker 1: represents the largest oil producer in OPEC's arguably the most
Speaker 1: important player in the twenty three nation of lions, and
Speaker 1: he's saying, look, this is a problem. Now. The reason
Speaker 1: why this is a really, really, really big deal, a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand this is because, as I said,
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty four, under the Breton Woods Agreement, the
Speaker 1: entire world agreed to be on a dollar gold system,
Speaker 1: dollar backed by gold. Currencies of the world peg to
Speaker 1: the dollar. All right. In nineteen seventy one, when President
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon removed the dollar from the gold standard, why
Speaker 1: would anybody use the dollar if it wasn't backed by gold. Well,
Speaker 1: they moved to something called a petro dollar. You ever
Speaker 1: heard that before? Let me up on social media. Let
Speaker 1: me know if you've ever heard of the petro dollar
Speaker 1: give me up on social media at one, Mark Moss
Speaker 1: and so they had the they had the reserve currency
Speaker 1: of the world from one But then, like I said,
Speaker 1: once they severed the gold ties, then the nations like,
Speaker 1: what the heck would I hold this fake paper gold
Speaker 1: paper money for if I can't redeem it for gold,
Speaker 1: And so they created the petro dollar. And since ninth
Speaker 1: since since then, since the creation of the petro dollar,
Speaker 1: that agreement was that Saudi Arabia would price all go
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all oil in dollars. And of course the
Speaker 1: whole world needs oil, and so if they want oil,
Speaker 1: they gotta pay in dollars, and that is what's kept
Speaker 1: the dollar propped up. But if Saudi Arabia wants to
Speaker 1: jump ship, what's going to happen. I'm gonna explain that
Speaker 1: and more where I think the world is going in
Speaker 1: the next couple of years and what I'm doing about it.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss this next part coming up
Speaker 1: in a minute. You listening to the Mark Mashaw of
Speaker 1: course talking about the decentralized revolution each and every week,
Speaker 1: explaining now the world is breaking apart and what we
Speaker 1: should be doing about it. So I'm going to cover
Speaker 1: that last part here as soon as I come back.
Speaker 1: Don't go away, all right, welcome back. You are listening
Speaker 1: to the Mark Ma Show, of course, talking about the
Speaker 1: decentralized revolution each and every week, talking about the way
Speaker 1: the world is changing through the lens of looking at
Speaker 1: it through politics, finance, and technology. And we look at
Speaker 1: it through the lens of those because that's how we
Speaker 1: see this changing that we're talking about. The dollar was
Speaker 1: the reserve currency of the world because it was backed
Speaker 1: by gold and it was backed by oil. Through the
Speaker 1: Petro Dollar Agreement, Saudi Arabia agreed to always price oil
Speaker 1: in dollars, and because the rest of the world needed
Speaker 1: the oil, they would pay in dollars and they'd have
Speaker 1: to go collect these fake paper things and return them
Speaker 1: in exchange for oil, which made the dollar valuable. But
Speaker 1: the problem is is that, um, that is all breaking apart.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we have here um so
Speaker 1: the Prince, one of the most powerful men in the
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia oil market. He was speaking, Prince Abdulaziz, and
Speaker 1: he says that the paper oil market has fallen into
Speaker 1: a self perpetuating vicious circle of very thin liquidity and
Speaker 1: extreme volatility, undermining the market's essential function of efficient price discovery. UM.
Speaker 1: He says, this vicious circle is amplified by the flow
Speaker 1: of unsubstantiated stories about demand destruction. That's keep key to
Speaker 1: hit on, because what's the trying to do. They trying
Speaker 1: to destroy demand. They want you to be broke so
Speaker 1: you have no money to pay for things. Demand instruction.
Speaker 1: But he says, hey, this is amplified by unsubstantiated stories
Speaker 1: of demand destruction. Look, the world still needs oil. It
Speaker 1: ain't going away. You guys keep saying it's gonna go away.
Speaker 1: It ain't going away. Um. And uncertainty about the potential
Speaker 1: impacts of price caps, embargoes and sanctions. So that's what
Speaker 1: NATO is trying to do. They're trying to set price
Speaker 1: caps of how much people can sell oil for it. Well,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna like that. They're trying to do embargoes
Speaker 1: and sanctions. Of course, you hear about these sanctions happening
Speaker 1: all over the place, and so they don't like that,
Speaker 1: he says. He said, soon we will start working on
Speaker 1: a new agreement beyond, which will build on our previous experiments, UM, experiences, achievements,
Speaker 1: and successes. So what does he mean by that? Well,
Speaker 1: we saw that, Um, Saudi Arabia is an active talks
Speaker 1: with Beijing with China to price some of its oil
Speaker 1: now in sales China in its own currency. Do you want?
Speaker 1: So they said, hey, fine, we won't sell we won't
Speaker 1: sell oil in dollars anymore. We'll sell it anyan. Um.
Speaker 1: It's accelerated this year as the Saudis have grown increasingly
Speaker 1: unhappy with decades old U S security commitments to defend
Speaker 1: the kingdom. So that the US said, hey, as long
Speaker 1: as Joys price stuff in dollars, we always got your back,
Speaker 1: which is why after the nine eleven happened. Um, after
Speaker 1: the towers fell, you had President Bush sneaking all the
Speaker 1: rural members of the Saudi family out because of this
Speaker 1: this hidden agreement, and that's why. But now that that's
Speaker 1: breaking apart, now that US doesn't want to back their
Speaker 1: back them anymore, they're like, okay, fine, then we'll go
Speaker 1: to Russia and China for protection and we'll just sell
Speaker 1: it in the in uan. Then this is happening, This
Speaker 1: is happening right now, This is breaking apart, he says.
Speaker 1: He says, many sovereigns, including US aligned countries, have realized
Speaker 1: owning massive amounts of dollars led to an illusion of stability.
Speaker 1: Wow big words. In any moment, a political decision could
Speaker 1: lead to the dollar reserve being frozen or seize. The Saudias,
Speaker 1: anticipate in the shift are starting to price crude oil
Speaker 1: in yuan in order to increase their trade surplus in
Speaker 1: one and reduce dollar holdings. Is happening, happening right now,
Speaker 1: and it starts happening really quick. Remember we talked about
Speaker 1: that in the fourth turning. It happens really really quick.
Speaker 1: So we've had this world for the last eighty nine
Speaker 1: years that the that we've had increased global trade, we've
Speaker 1: had peace. Obviously we have World War one, World War two,
Speaker 1: well since since World War two, so since we've had
Speaker 1: this period of peace, we've had this period of increased
Speaker 1: increased global trade. We've had this period where we had
Speaker 1: this monetary expansion, the population has expanded, and we've been
Speaker 1: able to because of the global trade, we've been able
Speaker 1: to offshore jobs and make stuff cheaper in other countries,
Speaker 1: bring those other countries up out of poverty, and make
Speaker 1: things cheaper in the developed world. By this massive prosperity.
Speaker 1: It's been what we call a long term secular trend.
Speaker 1: So if you look at like the SP two thousand,
Speaker 1: it's been a long, long term secular bull market. Now
Speaker 1: they're within that long term bull market. There's periods where
Speaker 1: it's gone down. We call those cyclical, So there's a
Speaker 1: small cyclical periods within a long term seculary trend. But
Speaker 1: now I believe the long term secular trend is shifting
Speaker 1: to go back the other way. So we've had the
Speaker 1: last years of long term bullish trend of more peace,
Speaker 1: more globalization, more trade right, more population, more monetary expansion.
Speaker 1: But what happens when the opposite happens? What happens when
Speaker 1: the world starts breaking apart and we don't want to
Speaker 1: trade with each other anymore. What happens when the United
Speaker 1: States doesn't want to police the oceans anymore and it's
Speaker 1: not safe to be shipping stuff around anymore. What happens
Speaker 1: when the dollar gets broken? What happens when um the
Speaker 1: gold markets thrown? What happened? What happens when we don't
Speaker 1: offshore those jobs? Now we're on shore everything you've been
Speaker 1: seeing in the news, um, now we're bringing we're on
Speaker 1: shoring jobs back, right, So now we're investing into microchips,
Speaker 1: for example, we're gonna star building our microchips here well
Speaker 1: as we bring all those jobs back to the U S.
Speaker 1: Which is a good thing in my opinion, because now
Speaker 1: we have jobs for people here, high paying jobs. But
Speaker 1: it's gonna make everything more expensive. So now we're gonna
Speaker 1: go into this long term um secular trend of inflationary
Speaker 1: as the world continues to break apart, multipolar world, multi currencies,
Speaker 1: we don't want to trade with each other anymore. We're
Speaker 1: all trying to now onshore all our own manufacturing, less
Speaker 1: global cooperation. That's gonna make things more expensive over the
Speaker 1: long run. That's exactly what's happening. And I think when
Speaker 1: you understand it from that pulled out viewpoint, then it
Speaker 1: starts to make things on this lower time frame seem
Speaker 1: a little bit more clear. So, for example, this week,
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve, they're having their the central bankers of
Speaker 1: the world are getting together in Jackson Hole, Wyoming to
Speaker 1: talk about what the central bankers are going to do
Speaker 1: to save things. Can they pull off a soft landing,
Speaker 1: so to speak? Can they thread the needle. Um right,
Speaker 1: We're talking about this all the time, the proverbial rock
Speaker 1: in the hard place. Inflation is raging. But if they
Speaker 1: don't keep pumping money and then then everything crashes. But
Speaker 1: if they do keep money pumping in, then inflation continues
Speaker 1: to rage. So which one is worse? If inflation rage
Speaker 1: is so high that people can't afford to eat, then
Speaker 1: they're going to riot and overthrow governments. But if the
Speaker 1: markets crash and people can't afford to eat, then they're
Speaker 1: going to riot and overthrow the governments. So which one
Speaker 1: do they choose? Both of them end up. Both choices
Speaker 1: end up in the same place with protests and people
Speaker 1: overthrow the governments, which is what they don't want to happen.
Speaker 1: And so um, can they pull off a soft landing?
Speaker 1: And I think that is a completely false narrative. A
Speaker 1: soft landing would make you believe that they are in
Speaker 1: some you know, modern fighter jet with a thousand switches
Speaker 1: and controls, and they can control the elevation, the altitude,
Speaker 1: they control the nose, the tail, they can the wings,
Speaker 1: the alerons, the rudders, all these things that they have
Speaker 1: under their control. That's not how it is at all.
Speaker 1: The FEDS more like flying blimp, a hot air balloon.
Speaker 1: The only thing the FED can do is it just
Speaker 1: interest rates. So like a hot air balloon, all you
Speaker 1: do is you can let hot air in and you
Speaker 1: can let hot air out. That's all you can do.
Speaker 1: They don't have rudders and alan runs, they don't have
Speaker 1: all these switches and controls. All they have is hot
Speaker 1: air in or out. And what that means is the
Speaker 1: balloon can go up and down. What about all the
Speaker 1: wind currents. If the balloon is coming down, where is
Speaker 1: it gonna land? Well, it's gonna land wherever the wind blows.
Speaker 1: Because all they can do and then go up and down.
Speaker 1: And all the FED can do is suggest that interest rate.
Speaker 1: And when we have this entire world these bigger things happening,
Speaker 1: the whole world is breaking apart. Global trade is breaking down.
Speaker 1: Nations don't want to use the dollar anymore now they
Speaker 1: want to start trading in other currencies, Um Russia and
Speaker 1: the bricks needs to want to break the gold market.
Speaker 1: Saudi and OPEC nations want to break the paper markets
Speaker 1: on oil. What's the FED gonna do with their hot
Speaker 1: air They're not gonna be able to do much. And
Speaker 1: so we have to understand that, Um, what happens when
Speaker 1: a plane is going to crash. Um, they have whatever
Speaker 1: altitude they have and plus whatever speed, and they have
Speaker 1: this glide path, and that glide path that terms how
Speaker 1: far they can go before they have to land. And
Speaker 1: that's basically where we're at right now. We're on a
Speaker 1: declined path. We have to understand the glide path and
Speaker 1: then we have to have a plan for that. Hopefully
Speaker 1: that that pulled out world view helps you if you
Speaker 1: want to know more about that, I just did like
Speaker 1: this whole presentation on what I'm actually doing about it
Speaker 1: with my money, what I'm buying selling. You can go
Speaker 1: to just go dot one Mark Moss dot com, go
Speaker 1: dot one Mark Moss dot com, slash Central, Dash Bankers,
Speaker 1: or just go to my website at one Mark Moss
Speaker 1: dot com at one Mark Moss dot com and you'll
Speaker 1: see a link to it um and check it out.
Speaker 1: I have like a full presentation on this specifically uh
Speaker 1: and what I'm doing about it. If you want to
Speaker 1: check out more on that, go go look at it.
Speaker 1: But hopefully that that pulled out view helps you with
Speaker 1: some clarity. Because the world's changing, it is not going
Speaker 1: to be the same as we've known it over the
Speaker 1: last hundred years. It's going to be broken up, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be multiple, it's gonna be multi currency, multi asset,
Speaker 1: and what you do about this it could be the
Speaker 1: most important moves you've made in your life, so hopefully
Speaker 1: you choose well. You're listening to the Mark Mos Show,
Speaker 1: of course, talking about the decentralized Revolution. Each and every week,
Speaker 1: I'll bring you more tips and tricks, but that's why
Speaker 1: I got for you today. Thanks for listening.
