“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.” — H.L. Mencken
America Is Cracking—Can You Feel It?
Some see the tremors as natural; others suspect a calculated scheme. I see both: a deliberate unraveling as civilizational cycles collide. Quietly but persistently, global elites—central bankers, corporate giants, and financial overlords I call the Money Masters—drain America’s vitality while we remain unaware.
If we overlook this and do nothing, we’ll wake up destitute, broken, and dependent on these predators. This piece—sparked by two insightful videos linked at the end—reveals their tactics, the economic forces fueling gold’s rise, and a path toward reclaiming resilience through community, faith, and truth.
Logic Twisted and Flipped
How can we spot deception in government and economics? Start here, with these old ideas:
The borrower is slave to the lender.
Those who own the gold make the rules.
Power flows not from consumption, but from creation.
Work fuels life.
Consumption without contribution breeds dependency—economic slavery.
Now take Trump’s tariffs. Without devaluing the dollar, they assume we can force others to serve our consumption needs. But consumption isn’t power. No nation will lose money to prop up ours unless it benefits them. Unless production returns to America profitably, the factories won’t follow. See the trap?
America’s Erosion
America’s decline is no accident—it’s engineered.
- Fertility rates fell to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, far below the 2.1 needed to sustain a workforce (CDC, 2024).
- Since 2000, 5+ million manufacturing jobs vanished—mostly in metro areas that also saw the sharpest fertility drops.
- Infrastructure earned a C– rating from engineers, with century-old water mains and crumbling dams ignored while defense spending ballooned to $886 billion.
- Student debt has passed $1.7 trillion, burdening 45 million Americans and delaying family formation.
- Educationally, U.S. students rank 34th in math and 16th in science globally (PISA, 2022), with no math score improvement since 2003.
- Trust in institutions has collapsed: just 30% trust the federal government, 26% the media, and 40% healthcare (Gallup, 2024).
Economically, 68% of Americans now live near one of 200–300 dead malls, haunting symbols of decay, while Asia’s cities flourish. The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio has hit 122%, unseen since WWII. Interest payments now surpass defense spending, while real wages have lost 50% in purchasing power over 25 years. These aren’t isolated stats—they’re a portrait of a nation hollowed out, distracted, and quietly falling behind.
The Global Shift
The new world order is less a conspiracy than a business model—one that thrives on decline. The ouroboros—an ancient serpent consuming its own tail—represents this self-destructive cycle. As natural resources dwindle, people become products. Fiat money multiplies, debt surges, and profits shrink. The Money Masters adapt by turning populations into commodities—like livestock to be herded, harvested, and replaced.
They manufacture wars, diseases, and crises—not to protect, but to profit. This is a parasitic, cancerous model of wealth extraction—accelerating in a civilization’s final stage.
Eventually, people—“the sheep and cattle”—become too old, costly, or aware. At that point, we are deemed expendable. As U.S. debt systems buckle, capital is rerouted to cheaper, faster-growing regions like India, Nigeria, and Southeast Asia.
But the Masters don’t simply abandon us—they harvest us: taking our land, homes, labor, and legacy. We are bled dry, repackaged, and sold abroad. Since COVID-19, U.S. death rates have climbed and stayed high (CDC, 2021–2023). Meanwhile, federally funded gain-of-function research—like that done at Wisconsin–Madison and Boston—raises serious questions about intent.
Global capital is already shifting. Microsoft is investing $1 billion in Kenya. Google is building cloud infrastructure across Africa. South–South trade now makes up 25% of global commerce (UNCTAD, 2023). The BRICS alliance—now including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran—is trading in local currencies, not dollars. The dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen from 73% in 2001 to under 58% in 2023 (IMF).
And yet, the public is kept pacified. We’re fed, entertained, and distracted—never told we’re being farmed.
The Russia–Ukraine war? A prime example. Lives lost, economies disrupted—but dedollarization surged. Sanctions drove BRICS to develop SWIFT alternatives. Arms deals exploded (Reuters, 2023), and China’s Belt and Road quietly expanded through Kenya, Egypt, and Pakistan. The Masters profit in every direction.
Gold’s Rise, Dollar’s Fall
Enter Basel III—a quiet revolution in banking. Set for full U.S. implementation by July 1, 2025, these global banking reforms elevate physical gold to Tier I asset status (BIS, 2024), making it as safe as cash for banks.
Before this, banks had to hold extra capital to store gold. Now, physical gold is “risk-free”—but not unallocated or “paper” gold. This discourages speculation and boosts demand for real bullion. Gold prices are expected to soar. BRICS countries—especially China and Russia—are stockpiling gold and dumping dollars.
Some forecasts predict gold hitting $24,000 to $30,000 per ounce. Central banks will benefit most—they hold 36,000 tonnes of gold globally, with the U.S. sitting on 8,133 tonnes. The average American, however, trapped in dollars and debt, will struggle with inflation and wage erosion.
This is dedollarization by design. And gold is the chosen shield—just not for us.
Trump’s Policies: Fuel on the Fire
Trump’s plans—including steep tariffs and monetary loosening—risk lighting the match. According to Project 2025 and Steven Myin, a $3 trillion flood of bank reserves may be released, igniting inflation. A Trump-appointed Fed chair might deliberately devalue the dollar to boost exports—while gold and other hard assets skyrocket.
If real interest rates fall, gold could climb past $30,000, and mining stocks may explode in value. But for everyday Americans? Prices will rise, savings will burn, and purchasing power will collapse.
COVID and Gaza: Lessons in Control
COVID was a test run. It showed how easily a population can be locked down, monitored, and divided. It devastated small businesses while enriching tech giants. It justified trillions in new money creation after the 2019 repo spike.
Gaza could be next. The elites want the region stable—whether through war, displacement, or a new Palestinian state. Gulf nations, needing calm for Vision 2030, push for normalization or integration. Gaza’s fate may model future control tactics—dominate dissent, maintain profit, and manage optics.
The Earth We’ve Betrayed
This crisis isn’t just cultural or economic—it’s ecological. As William Ophuls wrote in Immoderate Greatness, civilizations collapse when they “exploit nature to exhaustion.”
The U.S. consumes 20% of the world’s energy with just 4% of its population (EIA, 2023). Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin consume more electricity than most nations (IEA, 2024), contributing to a planetary crisis for speculative profit.
A “politics of consciousness,” as Ophuls urges, is needed. But intemperate minds can’t be free. We need humility—and harmony with the earth—to endure.
Our Last Stand
The Money Masters have chosen their next playground: Jakarta, Nairobi, New Delhi. America? Too costly, too unruly. Gold is their hedge—but rebuilding is ours.
Our culture weakens us. We’re uninformed, isolated, distracted by screens and identity wars. Gaza’s unity under fire reminds us: community is strength. Division is defeat.
Churches, once America’s moral core, now mirror our cultural spectacle. Faith must return to truth, sacrifice, and love—not stage shows. A revival led by a Christ-centered leader could restore purpose. A globalist church will not.
A Call to Act
America is being dismantled. The question is: will we rise, or watch it happen?
Gold may protect your wealth, but only truth, community, and faith can save your soul.
So—what’s one step you’re taking to rebuild community in your town? Share it. Inspire someone.
Watch your thoughts—they shape your actions. Watch your actions—they shape your destiny.
The Money Masters bet on our apathy. Don’t let them win. Stand, build, unite.

The Two Videos
Curious to dive deeper? As I mentioned at the start, two powerful videos sparked this post.
The first, by The Oregon Group, forecasts gold soaring to $30,000 an ounce—driven by the inflationary impact of Project 2025.
The second is a compelling monologue by Shahid Bolsen, unpacking how America’s decline isn’t accidental but engineered by global elites shifting power toward the Global South.
