From a precious metals dealer in the USA
\nWhile the media has been obsessed with the alleged Trump-Russia connection, they’ve missed a much more important story.
\nAt first glance, it’s not as sexy as political spying or deal-making\u2026
\nIt doesn’t have the initial intrigue of back-channel e-mails or clandestine meetings\u2026
\nBut it’s a warning sign for American and Western investors. And when you know the reasons why, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s really going on in the financial markets.
\nPlus \u2013 you’ll understand why the media has demonized Russia so much.
\nWhat’s this overlooked Russia story?
\nThe country’s central bank \u2013 the Bank of Russia – bought 34 tons of gold in September. And it and doubled its rate of gold buying over the past two years.
\nAnd\u2026 the Bank of Russia has bought no foreign currencies to add to their reserves since 2015. Just the so-called “barbarous relic,” physical gold.
\nSo what’s the big deal about this?
\nThe first reason is that Russia wants to trade with other countries outside of the dollar, and avoid financial sanctions from the West. The forced use of dollars to buy crude oil is what’s allowed the US to borrow, spend and print money like surfers on acid. It’s been done for over 40 years, and its known as the Petrodollar system.
\nWashington and Wall Street insiders realize that when this system goes away, bad financial things will happen.
\nAnyone holding dollars will reap the whirlwind of decades of money printing. This means higher (and a good chance of hyper-)inflation\u2026 lower financial asset values in stocks, ETFs and real estate\u2026 and a lower standard of living.
\nThat’s why our government wants to protect the Petrodollar system at all costs, in order to avoid a stock market and currency crash. Russia’s increased trade with China \u2013 in non-dollar currencies \u2013 is a major threat to the Petrodollar. In June 2016, Vladimir Putin signed a number of trade and energy agreements with China that allowed both nations to use the ruble and yuan.
\nWhen you understand what’s at stake for large Wall Street banks and Beltway politicians, it’s easy to see why our government wants to punish any entity or nation (like Russia) that’s a threat to the Petrodollar. It’s literally the foundation of our financial house of cards.
\nAnd if (or more likely when) it collapses, a lot of people will lose a lot of money, power and influence.
\nThe liberal media works in lockstep with Washington and Wall Street. They say whatever the bankers and bureaucrats tell them to. Because Russia is becoming a major threat to the system that’s the reason for their wealth and power, it’s no wonder why Russia has been made the scapegoat.
\nThis coming financial storm is why Russia’s central bank has bought more gold \u2013 and no paper fiat currencies \u2013 in the past two years. Vladimir Putin and Russian leaders don’t want to be caught holding paper currencies that can lose their value quickly\u2026 in a short amount of time.
\nIf one of the largest central banks on earth is buying gold, why shouldn’t you?
