A Flock of Black Swans Is Forming & the Power Elite Knows Exactly Why | Thornton & Schectman

A Flock of Black Swans Is Forming & the Power Elite Knows Exactly Why | Thornton & Schectman

Miles Franklin Media:  12-12-2025

Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, for a deep-dive into the systemic fragilities building beneath the surface of the global financial system and why a flock of black swans is forming all at once.

Thornton explains how central banks, political elites, and entrenched power structures have spent decades inflating bubbles, suppressing interest rates, weaponizing currencies, and expanding government controls.

Now those policies are converging into a historic breaking point.

From the breakdown of the dollar-led order to BRICS building parallel payment rails… from exploding sovereign debt to the yen carry trade… from stress in the banking system to the widening disconnect between derivatives and physical gold & silver – the “unknown unknowns” are piling up.

 According to Thornton, none of this is random. The elites know exactly why these black swans are multiplying and why the public will be the last to see it.

In this episode of Little by Little:

Why multiple black swan risks are emerging at the same time

The role of central banks and political elites in engineering systemic fragility

BRICS, gold accumulation, and the rise of alternative settlement systems

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 12-11-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 12-11-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, December 11, and you're listening to the big call. We're two weeks away from Christmas, I'd like to welcome everybody into the big call and just say, God bless you. And we look forward to a really fun call tonight.

Okay, let's get into where we are on Intel. And of course, last Tuesday, I lost battery somehow, and didn't quite finish up, but I got all of the important Intel out to you. Now, where are we now with that? Okay, there is sort of a new set of bondholders that have kind of come in, I'm going to call it at the last minute, and they have this started,  well some have received travel funds to get to Reno, to take care of these Pacelli and super Pacelli bonds up in Reno, and they received some travel funds so they could get up there.

Now that started. That started today, at 11 o'clock Pacific, with flights arriving. Most of these people, I believe, are not private jet people. I think these are people that that traveled based on the amount of the travel allowance that they received, they would have had to go commercially, or maybe if they were close enough, they would just drive it. But they're up there working on these now  - we heard from some of the people in that area that it's busy, so they're getting them done.

 And I don't know when these this particular group, which I don't think is that big of a group, of new bondholders. They've been pre vetted already. And the question is, will they finish up in the next day or so? It could be, it could be that they don't go very long with these. This, with these, this new level of bond holders. Okay

Now what's interesting about Reno you guys know that tier 4A we consider the admirals groups as tier 4A, and we're tier 4B the so called Internet Group. Now, Wells Fargo does not see a real difference between tier four A and B, okay, but there is a difference, and we know the difference because of who the admiral is and the admirals group and so on.

Well, I did hear today that there's sort of an, let's call it an Uber pay master, being upper over pay master for the admirals group that is in place in Reno now that will begin paying out the admirals groups, I say plural  - admiral groups tomorrow. No, that doesn't mean they'll get access to funds tomorrow, but they should have that money put in accounts and then they'll be notified how soon they can actually gain access to it,

Now my understanding is  that probably in a day or two they will get access to it . Now we don't know that exactly, but we know that that is supposed to occur tomorrow for the admirals group participants, they're supposed to be paid  tomorrow into their accounts.

Now, where does that put us? If that's tier 4A, and we're tier 4B can we be very far from that tier three, which is the bond holders, even the ones that I talked about tonight, these what I call last minute people,  what's the story on that they are supposed we're supposed to get their emails yesterday or today and give them access funds. We don't have that yet. It might be they get theirs  Friday orSaturday.

And what I'm hearing about us is that we should get our emails which would have the toll free number  to call and set our appointments at the redemption center and to go in to execute the redemption of our Zim and our exchange of our foreign currencies. And I the last thing we've heard so far today was that we expect that to occur over the weekend. Now could it be tomorrow? Maybe - Could it be Saturday or Sunday.  Yeah

The latest information from one of our top sources is saying over the weekend or a weekend launch for us. Now, will this be a true shotgun start?  hard to  say, access to funds could be the shotgun start. But if  admiral starts paying out tomorrow to his people, how soon do they get access to those accounts?

Do they get access Saturday, Sunday, Monday, the 15th, I don't know. We're just going to have to see how it plays out, when we get notified, will we start exchanges ? Get notified? Theoretically, if we got the notification in the morning, we could still do something Saturday afternoon, yes.

What about Sunday? It's a question mark. If we start exchanges on Saturday, they would set appointments up for Sunday, they would do that, and we go right through the weekend all the way into next week.

Now, what happens if they don't start our appointments until Monday? Well, that's a possibility of it. We always know that  is a possibility --  we could end up being there. But does President Trump want this to happen for us before Christmas? today is two weeks from Christmas.  If we are going to have a Christmas-  we need to have the funds to have a Christmas --  I mean a real Christmas

What about Sunday? It's a question mark. If we start exchanges on Saturday, they would set windows up for Sunday, they would do that, and we go right through the weekend all the way into next week. Now, what happens if they don't start our appointments until Monday? Well, that's a possibility of it.

We always know that that is a possibility we could end up being there. But does President Trump want this to happen for us before Christmas? Today is two weeks of Christmas, and if we're going to have a Christmas, we need to have the funds to have a Christmas. And I mean a real Christmas, not pretend you get one gift this year.

Christmas, a real Christmas. And I think even though it's Christmas isn't about gifts and gift giving. We know that that's a big part of the celebration of Christmas that we all have experienced growing up, and it could be the same this year.

We'll see if this is special. It's a special time, and we do get this thing started before the first or middle of next week. So look for something over the weekend as right now. That's where we where we are.

Bond holders are getting those knocked out, and I think maybe we'll all get a modified shotgun start out of this thing. I'm looking forward to it.

As far as anything else I've told you before, the DOGE payments and the tariff dividends should be coming up after January  2nd or 3rd  I don't know how soon after, but I think we're looking for announcement in the January 1 to third time frame.

And obviously NESARA should part of that. Should include the new USN currency should be part of that. And we should basically a new start.

Hard to say on taxes. We could get a discussion about no more income taxes, only external income. That's what we're hoping for, but we know that NESARA  has a provision for a consumption tax, and that would be fine with me. That's an inboard tax and a price of new goods of about 15%. And we can all afford that

And as far as Doge, same payments after the starting maybe in the third to the fifth of January, our RNR money, we believe, is going to be in our quantum accounts when we go in for our exchanges.

But we'll see how that goes. And the doge payments are supposed to be direct deposit, not checks supposed to be direct deposits. If you have a bank account which is tied to your social security number, which they all are. So it should be coming that way for us.

Alright, so I wanted to say in the way of Intel tonight, or somewhat pushed for the weekend, from what we had Saturday, earlier last night and today looks more like it might be look for the weekend.

But I'm encouraged that the admiral, the Uber pay master for the admiral groups is beginning to pay up tomorrow. And that's really good, I think, as one of the one of our contacts, said money is flowing, money is flowing. Money is flowing.

And that's a good sign. And all we need to do is flow to everything. And okay, that's what we're looking for.

So let's go ahead and thank everybody. . Thank you big call universe for listening some of you for all 14 years that we've done a big call. So let's, let's just go and believe together and speak together that the toll free numbers are coming out, that we're getting these emails, setting our appointments and getting our exchanges and redemption of Zim done.

Okay? And we can do that, and then we can have our Christmas following, so looking forward to it. Thank you, everybody so much.  Let's pray the call out,   

Everybody, have a great weekend. Keep an eye. We will have a call on Tuesday – hopefully it will be a celebration. alright. All right, so everybody have a great weekend. Lets watch for those emails

All right. God bless you guys.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Friday Afternoon 12-12-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

A Message to Our Seeds of Wisdom & Newshounds News™ Readers

For more than a decade, many of you have held foreign currencies with the hope that one day a global financial reset and revaluation would change your family’s future. You have remained patient, faithful, and committed — even as week after week, year after year, “RV gurus” declared this is finally the week, only for nothing to happen.

You deserve better than recycled predictions.
You deserve truth, clarity, and real evidence — not hype.

At Seeds of Wisdom and Newshounds News™, our mission is simple:
To give you facts, not fantasies.
To give you hope, not hype.
To give you understanding, not confusion.

The world is changing.
A global reset is not a myth — it is unfolding in real time through international finance, monetary restructuring, gold accumulation by central banks, new settlement systems, geopolitical realignment, and the slow erosion of dollar-centric frameworks.

But revaluation will not happen because a guru said it will.
It will happen when:

• Global monetary architecture shifts,

• New settlement systems are activated,

• Liquidity and sovereign-debt frameworks are reset,

• And nations restructure how value moves across borders.

These are the signals we track every day — not rumors, but verifiable developments happening across the world’s financial system.

🌱You have waited a long time.🌱
Our commitment is to walk this part of the journey with you honestly, respectfully, and transparently. We will continue bringing you real news, structured analysis, and the global indicators that truly matter for foreign currency holders.

We honor your patience.  We honor your hope.
And we promise to protect that hope from the noise that has misled this community for far too long.

A reset is coming —
But this time, you will see it with clear eyes, grounded understanding, and the truth you deserve.

NATO Expands Caribbean Enforcement as France Seizes 2.3 Tons of Cocaine

Drug-route security tightens amid rising geopolitical coordination across NATO and U.S. partners.

Overview

• France intercepts 2.3 tons of cocaine in the Caribbean, part of a dramatic rise in 2025 counter-trafficking operations.

• U.S. and NATO allies increase maritime enforcement, intensifying activity near Venezuela, Colombia, and Haiti.

• Record drug-route disruptions highlight growing regional instability, prompting new EU and NATO policy measures.

Key Developments

• French naval forces intercepted an unflagged vessel carrying over 2,360 kg (5,200 lbs) of cocaine — one of 2025’s largest seizures.

• Over 31 tons of narcotics have been seized in the Antilles-Guyana zone this year, signaling escalating cartel activity and security risks.

• U.S. Coast Guard operations continue at high tempo, with multiple multimillion-dollar seizures across the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

• MAOC-N and NATO partners intensify joint intelligence operations, disrupting long-established Atlantic trafficking routes.

• France proposes an EU sanctions regime targeting transnational drug networks, linking organized crime to geopolitical instability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those waiting on foreign-currency revaluation, developments like this matter far more than most realize. Major narcotics routes often fund non-state actors, corruption networks, and destabilizing forces inside countries whose currencies people are holding. A global currency reset requires financial stability, transparent capital flows, and strong international cooperation — the exact conditions these operations aim to build.

This article signals that:

• NATO and EU frameworks are expanding, stabilizing regions tied to major trade and currency corridors.

• Governments are tightening enforcement and sanctions, prerequisites for any future asset-backed or rules-based global financial architecture.

• Law-enforcement coordination is increasing, a step required before cross-border settlement systems or global liquidity resets can be trusted.

This is the kind of real-world progress that matters for RV timelines — not guru predictions, but structural cleanup of geopolitical and financial instability, which always comes first.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Structural Clean-Up: Successful counter-narcotics operations strengthen regional financial integrity — a requirement for future currency realignment and compliant international settlement systems.

• Pillar 2 — Coordinated Enforcement: NATO, EU, and U.S. multi-agency coordination reflects the tightening of global governance frameworks that typically precede monetary restructuring.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

U.S.–Venezuela Tensions Surge as Military Escalation Signals Possible Conflict

Washington’s show of force reshapes power balances in the Western Hemisphere.

Overview

• U.S. intensifies pressure on Venezuela, escalating from sanctions to direct tanker seizures and expanded counter-drug strikes.

• Major U.S. military assets deployed to the Caribbean, including F-35s, B-52 bombers, and carrier-based aircraft near Venezuelan airspace.

• Venezuela responds with military mobilization, accusing the U.S. of attempting regime change to seize control of its oil resources.

Key Developments

• Energy and shipping tensions escalate as the U.S. intercepts Venezuelan oil shipments, prompting international maritime warnings.

• Operation Southern Spear expands, with U.S. forces conducting patrols, exercises, and simulated strikes across the region.

• Trump administration signals readiness for “land strikes”, while Maduro swears in thousands of new troops to counter U.S. pressure.

Why It Matters

This confrontation is no longer just political—it reflects a deeper struggle over control of the Western Hemisphere’s energy corridors, shipping routes, and monetary influence. As the U.S. asserts the Monroe Doctrine and military operations expand, regional instability increases the risk of sanctions spillover, supply chain disruptions, and commodity volatility across the Americas.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

Heightened U.S.–Venezuela conflict could accelerate shifts in global oil flows, payment routes, and the use of alternative settlement systems outside the U.S. dollar—especially among BRICS-aligned states supporting Venezuela.

Any disruption in the Caribbean and Gulf shipping lanes can affect energy prices, liquidity conditions, and the pace of de-dollarization across Latin American economies. Currency holders should watch for ripple effects on commodity-linked currencies, parallel-market rates, and regional dollar scarcity.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Energy Power Realignment
U.S. enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine brings the Western Hemisphere into sharper geopolitical competition, pushing alternative blocs to develop independent oil, trade, and payment channels.

Pillar: Acceleration of Alternatives to Dollar Settlements
Venezuela’s alignment with BRICS partners increases incentives for non-USD trade settlements, reinforcing a multipolar financial system.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

U.S. Advances Plan for International Stabilization Force in Gaza

Washington prepares multinational deployment as part of Trump’s second-phase Middle East peace framework.

Overview

• U.S. officials outline early-2025 deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) under a UN mandate to demilitarize Gaza.

• Indonesia offers up to 20,000 troops, signaling broad Muslim-world participation in the stabilization phase.

• ISF to operate in Israeli-controlled zones, enabling potential phased Israeli withdrawal while supporting Palestinian police reintegration.

Key Developments

• A U.S. two-star general is being considered to lead the mission, which will not directly engage Hamas but will assist demilitarization and civil reconstruction.

• Force deployment dependent on final approvals from the Trump-established Board of Peace, including decisions on size, composition, and rules of engagement.

• Indonesia’s contribution marks a major diplomatic shift, creating momentum for wider Muslim-majority involvement and potential Arab-world legitimacy.

• Operational contradictions persist, as Hamas refuses disarmament without statehood, heightening risk for ISF entanglement.

Why It Matters

The ISF is the first tangible step toward a new Middle East security architecture that blends international oversight with phased Israeli disengagement. If successful, the plan could redefine regional power arrangements, reshape diplomatic alliances, and alter Washington’s credibility in peace enforcement. Failure, however, risks a protracted entanglement and renewed instability.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

Major geopolitical transitions in the Middle East often trigger oil market volatility, shifts in petrodollar flows, and new alliances that affect global settlement systems.

A multinational force in Gaza—especially one backed by Indonesia and potentially other non-Western partners—signals rising influence from states exploring non-USD settlement frameworks. Any change in regional stability affects energy pricing, global liquidity, and the pace at which Middle Eastern nations diversify away from the dollar. Currency holders should watch for ripple effects across oil-linked currencies, sovereign risk ratings, and cross-border payment realignment.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Geopolitical Realignment in Energy & Security
International intervention in Gaza changes regional alignments and increases incentives for Middle Eastern states to strengthen economic ties with BRICS and alternative financial systems.

Pillar: Fragmentation of Dollar-Dominated Structures
The entry of large non-Western contributors like Indonesia highlights shifting global leadership roles and widens pathways for non-USD economic coordination.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Pakistan Partners With Binance to Tokenize Up to $2 Billion in Sovereign Assets

Islamabad moves to modernize its financial system and attract global capital through blockchain-based asset digitization.

Overview

• Pakistan signs MoU with Binance to tokenize up to $2 billion in sovereign bonds, T-bills, and commodity reserves.

• Regulators grant initial approval to Binance and HTX to establish licensed operations inside Pakistan.

• Nation accelerates digital asset regulation, aiming to become a regional hub in tokenized finance.

Key Developments

• Tokenization initiative aims to improve liquidity, transparency, and global access to Pakistan’s sovereign assets via blockchain.

• Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority approves preliminary registration for Binance and HTX as they prepare full licensing applications.

• Islamabad is building a comprehensive digital asset framework, including a dedicated regulator and new licensing laws.

• Move aligns with Pakistan’s plans for a central bank digital currency, marking a structural transition in its financial architecture.

Why It Matters

Pakistan’s initiative is one of the most aggressive state-level tokenization programs attempted by any government, signaling a fundamental redesign of sovereign asset management.

By partnering with major exchanges, the country seeks alternative financing avenues, improved transparency, and a competitive digital-finance ecosystem despite ongoing economic stress. The effort positions Pakistan as a potential model for other emerging markets seeking to digitize their balance sheets.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

Tokenizing sovereign assets is a major step toward digitized national balance sheets, a hallmark of the coming global financial reset. As developing nations adopt blockchain-based debt and commodity structures, the world moves closer to post-SWIFT settlement rails, multi-currency collateral systems, and digital sovereign liquidity pools.

 These transitions weaken the dominance of legacy currency valuations and open the door to re-priced national currencies based on real-asset-backed digital instruments. Pakistan’s move signals accelerated global momentum toward asset-backed, interoperable financial systems—precisely the environment in which currency revaluations become feasible.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Tokenized Sovereign Finance
Digitization of government assets creates a new template for emerging markets to restructure debt, issue collateralized digital bonds, and integrate into non-Western capital markets.

Pillar: Multipolar Payment Systems
Pakistan’s alignment with Binance and other global digital platforms reinforces the shift toward decentralized, non-USD financial rails, supporting broader de-dollarization trends.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Rob Cunningham: Rosie Rios is the Center of US Monetary Authority

Rob Cunningham: Rosie Rios is the Center of US Monetary Authority

12-12-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show  @KuwlShow

FACT: Rosie Rios is not a symbolic appointment – she represents the center of U.S. monetary authority

Rosie Rios is not a politician.
She is not a lobbyist.
She is not a “crypto personality.”

She is the former 43rd Treasurer of the United States, whose literal signature is on over $1.7 trillion of circulating U.S. currency during her tenure.

Her domain of authority included:

• Bureau of Engraving and Printing

• U.S. Mint

• Fort Knox

• Oversight of nationwide currency supply, issuance & coinage policy

• Deep involvement in economic revitalization programs

• National reserve & liquidity frameworks

When someone with this authority joins the board of Ripple, it signals:

@Ripple (and XRP) are operating inside the realm of U.S. sovereign monetary legitimacy – not outside it.

This is an unmistakable signal about where the future infrastructure is going.

FACT: @America250 is a bipartisan, Congressionally chartered commission for national continuity & economic renewal

Rosie Rios serves as Chair of America 250, which is not a PR body – it’s a federal commission chartered by Congress to coordinate:

• America’s 250th anniversary

• National communications

• Economic stewardship themes

• Cultural and civic strategic messaging

• The modernization narrative of America’s next chapter

This is where her influence matters:

If blockchain, tokenization & financial modernization are part of the next chapter of American competitiveness, America 250 is where the messaging alignment is shaped.

And sitting inside that commission is the former U.S. Treasurer who now sits on Ripple’s board.

Ripple is not “a crypto company.”
Ripple is positioned as the infrastructure partner for the United States’ next monetary system upgrade.

FACT: The U.S. Treasury already recognizes the role of digital assets in reserve frameworks

The Treasury and the Federal Reserve have already stated officially:

• Digital assets may be included in reserve or collateral frameworks where state or federal regulation is satisfied.

• Tokenized forms of U.S. Treasuries are explicitly recognized under pilot programs, including @The_DTCC tokenization framework.

• Stablecoins under @NYDFS supervision meet the criteria for:

• Full-dollar backing

• Regulated custody

• Liquidity transparency

• Supervisory reporting obligations

This matters because RLUSD is a New York–regulated stablecoin, meaning:

It is one of a very small number of U.S.-legal, U.S.-compliant, institution-grade stablecoins suitable for integration with federal systems.

@RosieRios understands this regulatory environment intimately.
Ripple is building within it – not outside it.

FACT: RLUSD is not just “a stablecoin” – it is a regulatory-grade payment instrument

NYDFS requires:

• 1:1 USD backing

• High-quality liquid assets

• Approved custodians

• Monthly attestations

• Segregated reserves

• Strict redemption rights

• Anti-fraud compliance

• Consumer-protection standards

• Real-time transactional monitoring

• Transactional finality and auditability

It also requires rigorous interoperability and traceability – features built directly into XRPL’s design.

The XRPL is one of the few ledgers capable of supporting:

• Issued assets

• Stablecoins

• Native DEX function

• Regulatory-compliant pathways

• Atomic settlement

• Predictable transaction fees

• No MEV, no Miner Extractable Value

• Deterministic finality

This is why RLUSD + XRPL is not a coincidence.
It is regulatory and architectural compatibility.

FACT: New York DFS frameworks require pairing the stablecoin with a compliant settlement system

NYDFS rules for institutional stablecoins require:

• A deterministic settlement ledger

• No probabilistic finality

• A predictable fee structure

• Identity-compliant rails

• Operational rigor under high institutional throughput

Ethereum fails on multiple criteria.
Solana fails on institutional reliability.
Most chains fail outright.

XRPL passes.

Thus:

RLUSD’s pairing with XRPL is a regulatory-compliance decision, not a marketing decision.

Which leads us to this central point:

LOGICAL INFERENCE: If RLUSD is the regulated cash leg, XRP is the natural liquidity leg.

Here is the heart of the matter:

NYDFS regulates the dollar leg through RLUSD.

The liquidity leg must be:

• Fast

• Deterministic

• Non-custodial

• Trust-minimized

• Global

• Compliant

• Stable in function

• Available 24/7

• Interoperable with ISO 20022 flows

• Tied into a ledger capable of regulated RWA tokenization

The only digital asset that matches this list natively, without bolt-ons or workarounds, is:

XRP.

Thus one of the most powerful truths:

RLUSD is the regulated dollar.
XRP is the regulated liquidity.

This is the architecture of a global settlement system.

LOGICAL INFERENCE: Treasury supervision + Ripple board ties = legitimacy for XRP in reserve or liquidity frameworks.

Rosie Rios has explicitly said: “XRP is the key to cross-border liquidity.”

That is a former U.S. Treasury Secretary speaking in her own capacity.

If tokenized Treasuries, stablecoins, and reserve-backed digital payments rails form the cash layer of the new U.S. financial system, then:

XRP becomes the neutral, non-sovereign, liquidity-optimizing, bridge asset that allows these tokenized reserves to move.

This is not speculation.
This is design logic.

And the presence of:

• Michael Bodson (DTCC)

• Rosie Rios (U.S. Treasury)

• Former regulators in multiple jurisdictions

• Institutional banking partners

• ISO 20022 compliance

• RLUSD + XRPL compatibility

• DTCC announcing tokenized securities across approved blockchains

• Ripple’s increasingly visible role in U.S. monetary modernization

all point toward a unified liquidity system.

In that system…

RLUSD = compliant cash
XRP = compliant liquidity
XRPL = compliant settlement ledger
DTCC = compliant asset-issuance and custody stack

This is the architecture of a global digital reserve ecosystem.

TRAJECTORY: The convergence is not hypothetical. It is happening.

Let’s connect the dots:

A former DTCC CEO joins Ripple.

DTCC begins tokenizing securities.

A former U.S. Treasury Secretary joins Ripple

Treasury formally acknowledges digital assets within reserve and collateral frameworks.

Ripple launches RLUSD under NYDFS

DTCC’s tokenization model requires compliant cash rails.

RLUSD lives on XRPL

XRP is the native bridge asset for settlement and liquidity.

U.S. financial modernization accelerates toward ISO 20022 + blockchain

XRPL is one of the few ledgers architected for this model.

America 250 shapes the narrative of America’s economic future

Rosie Rios is the Chair shaping that narrative.

In the language of common sense:

No nation assigns its former head of currency issuance and its former head of securities settlement to the same company by accident.
Systems are merging.
Roles are aligning.
The architecture is being revealed.

ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY

Rosie Rios’s Treasury authority, her leadership of America 250, her seat on Ripple’s board, the regulatory framework around RLUSD, and the architecture of the XRPL together indicate that Ripple is not merely participating in the future of U.S. financial infrastructure – it is being positioned as one of the foundational rails of that system, where RLUSD is the compliant dollar and XRP is the compliant global liquidity instrument.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Fri. 12 Dec. 2025

Compiled Fri. 12 Dec. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: At 7:07 am EST on Thurs. 11 Dec. 2025 Trump (allegedly) signed off on the Global Restoration Accord and the final QFS Key Sequence was (allegedly) issued to Military Commands in 27 countries. Sovereign councils were(allegedly)  being formed in every territory, backed by gold, enforced by truth, guided by consciousness. The Global Currency Revaluation had (allegedly) ignited the greatest wealth transfer in history.

Tier 4B notifications have (allegedly) commenced under the Quantum Financial System’s un-breachable shield, with redemption appointments slotted for December 11 through 13, ensuring the stewards of humanitarian projects (allegedly) receive their allotments without delay.

Iraq’s dinar has (allegedly) locked in at $4.17, while global currencies align in the BRICS ledger, heralding payouts that will(allegedly)  start at midnight tonight Thurs. 11 Dec. 2025 for select tiers.

Debt forgiveness (allegedly) sweeps across the world, extinguishing the $35 trillion illusion foisted upon nations by the Cabal’s greed.

NESARA/GESARA’s decrees (allegedly) activate fully by dawn Fri. 12 Dec, wiping slates clean for every soul—mortgages (allegedly) dissolved, student burdens lifted, and social security(allegedly)  tripled to sustain the widow and orphan as promised in scripture.

Wealth flows not to hoarders, but to builders of light, with 800 numbers (allegedly) dialing blessings that turn scarcity into abundance overnight.

The Alliance confirms(allegedly)  first-week exchanges at 1955-equivalent pricing, a return to equity where every family thrives. The hour is upon us; receive it with open hearts.

This was not a drill; it was(allegedly)  the fulfillment of prophecies. The Storm rages not with chaos, but with celestial order, rescuing vulnerable and binding evil. Open your eyes, stand vigilant and trust in the Almighty’s plan unfolding before us.

Thurs. 11 Dec. 2025 Bruce’s Big Call, Notes by Ginger Doucet

There is a (allegedly) new set of bondholders who came in at the last minute, received travel funds to go to Reno; that started today at 11:00 Pacific. These are people who traveled commercially, not privately. They are (allegedly) working on these now and we have heard it’s busy. Bruce thinks it’s a smaller group and they have been pre-vetted. Will they finish up in the next day or so? They could.

Re Reno, Tier 4A, the Admirals’ Groups, Wells Fargo doesn’t see the difference between 4A and 4B. Today, Bruce heard from an Uber Paymaster that they will (allegedly) begin paying out the Admirals’ groups tomorrow Fri. 12 Dec, money in their accounts and then they will be notified when they can receive access to it, which may be in a day or two. Bruce was very encouraged to hear this.

The last-minute Tier 3 bondholders were supposed to get emails today and now Bruce is hearing they will receive them Friday or Saturday.

Bruce is hearing we will receive our notifications over the weekend. It could also be Friday. The latest information from a top source is “a weekend launch” for us.

Admirals’ groups get access to their funds possibly on the weekend. Theoretically, we could exchange Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

The DOGE payments and Tariff Dividends should come out after January 2 or 3. Look for an announcement Jan 1 to 3.

NESARA should be part of that, with the new US currency.

We could get a discussion of no more income taxes. NESARA (allegedly) has a provision for a consumption tax of about 15% on new goods.

DOGE also in the new year, about the 3rd to the 5th, which should go directly into bank accounts.

The R&R money should be in our accounts when we go for our appointments.

Militia Man   IMF Article VIII status:  The IMF's Article IV consultation published in July of 2025 confirms Iraq no longer maintains any exchange restrictions on current account transactions and no longer has multiple currency practices.  That means Iraq has already met the legal requirements for Article VIII.  That's big.  The only remaining practical step is the public announcement that the dinar is fully convertible for current account transactions and the opening of a dinar trading pairs on international Forex.

The Silver Price Signal Everyone Is Missing | Mike Maloney & Alan Hibbard

12-12-2025

Are we on the brink of a fundamental breaking point in the silver market?

 In this eye-opening episode of The Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan dive into a critical idea: when the paper market can no longer mask the true scarcity of physical silver, price becomes the only solution.

• Why actual physical silver matters more than ever — especially for technology and clean energy production.

• What could happen if COMEX fails to deliver metal and forces cash settlements.

• The massive disconnect between paper contracts and real supply.

 • Why holding physical silver could be one of the smartest moves before prices catch up to reality.

Whether you’re new to metals or an experienced investor, understanding this dynamic could change how you think about precious metals forever.

Watch till the end — price is more than a number, it’s the mechanism that forces markets to truth.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Friday Morning 12-12-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Markets Flash Warning: China Slowdown & Fed Cuts Signal Structural Reset

Financial markets surge while economic foundations weaken — signaling a deeper global realignment.

Overview

• China acknowledges weakening investment, prompting new state-driven stimulus and signaling structural stress inside the world’s second-largest economy.

• Global equities rally on fresh Federal Reserve rate cuts, masking fragility beneath soaring asset prices.

• Tech volatility resurfaces, showing cracks in overvalued sectors as traditional markets rotate toward real-economy assets.

Key Developments

• China issues concern over falling fixed-asset investment, pushing Beijing to prepare additional fiscal measures as demographic and productivity pressures accelerate.

• European and U.S. markets hit record highs following the Fed’s latest rate cut, with banks and cyclicals leading gains despite AI valuation concerns.

• Major tech weakness emerges, highlighted by sharp declines in key firms after disappointing earnings, renewing fears of an AI-driven market bubble.

• Liquidity expansion returns as a global theme, with central banks increasingly prioritizing financial stability over anti-inflation discipline.

Why It Matters
Monetary easing, structural slowdown in China, and market dependence on liquidity reveal a global system shifting away from traditional Western-centric growth and dollar-tightening cycles. These moves expose deeper fractures in the current financial order — accelerating the transition toward distributed, multipolar economic coordination.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Liquidity as Policy: Renewed rate cuts reinforce a strategic pivot toward global liquidity expansion, a prerequisite for restructuring sovereign debt, capital flows, and reserve frameworks.

• Pillar 2 — East-West Divergence: China’s structural slowdown and stimulus plans amplify pressure for non-dollar settlement systems, supporting a broader multipolar financial architecture.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

‘The Unit’ Makes BRICS Gold-Backed Unified Currency Real

BRICS launches a gold-anchored digital settlement prototype — “The Unit” — aiming to reduce dollar reliance through a 40% gold / 60% currency-basket design.

Overview

• Prototype launch & structure: The Unit launched as a working prototype (100 Units initially issued by IRIAS) and uses a 40-gram gold + 60% BRICS-currency basket reserve model.

• Settlement role, not replacement: Designed as a trade settlement instrument (Cardano-based) that does not replace national currencies but reduces reliance on the U.S. dollar.

• Immediate market effects: The pilot has already boosted gold demand for reserve backing and shifted settlement flows among BRICS members, with the Unit’s value adjusting to 0.9823 g of gold per Unit (Dec 2025).

Key Developments

• Technical implementation: IRIAS engineered The Unit on the Cardano blockchain and announced the initiative in November 2025, creating a neutral cross-border settlement mechanism.

• Reserve composition & membership: Reserve basket blends 40g physical gold with equal weightings of Brazil’s Real, China’s Yuan, India’s Rupee, Russia’s Ruble, and South Africa’s Rand; the bloc of ten members (BRICS + Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, UAE) are implicated in settlement trials.

• Central-bank accumulation: Major BRICS central banks (notably Russia and China) have increased gold holdings, strengthening credibility for a gold-anchored settlement layer.

• Political caution: President Putin urged a careful, gradual approach—citing Eurozone lessons and saying BRICS has no immediate goal of a single currency rollout.

• Liquidity & coordination limits: Gold’s lower liquidity vs fiat, diverse member exchange-rate regimes, capital controls, and the need for cross-member regulatory/infrastructure coordination remain major constraints.

Why It Matters
The Unit represents a structural attempt to rewire international settlement mechanics away from dollar-centric corridors. Even as a pilot, it shifts how reserves are used (active settlement vs passive storage) and forces policy, market, and central-bank responses that accelerate global finance restructuring — not only in trade invoicing but in strategic reserve accumulation and geopolitical leverage.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Reserve Recomposition: A move from fiat/dollar reserves toward gold-backed settlement units forces central banks to reallocate reserves, intensifying global gold demand and altering currency risk profiles.

• Pillar 2 — Alternative Settlement Architecture: Establishing a Cardano-based, gold-anchored settlement layer creates a parallel payment and trade infrastructure that reduces exposure to U.S. banking corridors and sanctions leverage.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 12-12-25

Trump's Envoy Warns: Iraq's Future Hinges On Decisions In The Coming Weeks.

Political | 10:57 - 11/12/2025  Mawazin News – Baghdad:  US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, stated that Iraq, 23 years after the fall of the dictatorship, stands at a “critical juncture,” emphasizing that no state can succeed “while armed groups compete with the state and undermine its authority.”

In a statement, Savaya affirmed that “this division has weakened Iraq’s international standing, stifled its economy, and diminished its ability to protect its national interests.” He added that “the experience of the past three years has proven that genuine stability is possible when the government adopts a realistic and balanced approach that keeps the country out of regional conflicts and refocuses on national priorities.”

He added that "commemorating the eighth anniversary of the victory over ISIS and the successful completion of parliamentary elections place a direct responsibility on the shoulders of political and religious leaders.

The decisions they make will determine whether Iraq moves toward sovereignty and strength or slides back into fragmentation and decline." He stressed that "a unified and rational choice will send a clear message to the United States and the international community that Iraq is ready to take its place as a stable and respected nation in the new Middle East. The alternative is economic deterioration, political turmoil, and international isolation."

Savaya continued, "The United States, under President Trump's leadership, stands fully prepared to support Iraq during this critical phase." He noted that he and his team are "committed to working closely with Iraqi leaders to establish a strong state, a stable future, and a sovereign Iraq capable of shaping its own destiny in the new Middle East."

Dollar Prices Rise Again In Baghdad's Local Markets

Economy | 11:11 - 11/12/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:   The exchange rate of the US dollar has risen again in local markets in the capital, Baghdad, amid normal trading activity. 

The selling price at currency exchange offices reached 143,500 dinars per 100 US dollars, while the buying price was 142,500 dinars.  This increase comes amid limited fluctuations in the parallel market in recent days.
https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271444

Gold And Precious Metal Prices After The US Interest Rate Cut

Economy | 12:09 - 11/12/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:   Gold prices declined globally after the precious metal reached its highest level in nearly a week, amid a split within the US Federal Reserve regarding interest rate cuts.

 This left investors uncertain about the pace of monetary easing next year, while silver continued to reach new record highs.  Spot gold fell 0.2% to $4,221.49 per ounce by 03:00 GMT, after earlier touching its highest level since December 5th.

Meanwhile, US gold futures for February delivery rose 0.6% to $4,249.70 per ounce.

Tim Waterer, senior market analyst at KCM Trade, said, "Gold has not been able to advance after today's events, as the Fed has made it clear that any further interest rate cuts will be limited and spaced out," indicating that the gold market is still trying to digest the direction of monetary policy next year.

The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday in an unusually divided vote, while confirming that borrowing costs would not be lowered further until there are clearer signs of a slowing labor market and a decline in inflation, which it described as "still fairly high."

In an unprecedented move, six policymakers opposed the cut, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell avoided giving any clear indications about the timing of the next rate reduction.

Lower interest rates are generally seen as supportive of non-yielding assets like gold, as they reduce the opportunity cost of holding them, prompting more investors to seek refuge in the safe haven.

Traders are now awaiting the release of US jobs and inflation data for November next week, followed by a detailed report on third-quarter economic growth, for further clues on the future path of interest rates.

As for other precious metals, silver rose 0.8% in spot trading to $62.25 an ounce, after hitting a record high of $62.88 earlier in the session. Its year-to-date gains now stand at 113%, driven by strong industrial demand, declining inventories, and its inclusion on the U.S. list of critical metals.

Ilya Spivak, head of global macros at Tasty Life, said, "Silver has been largely unaffected by external factors and has been rising independently. I don't see any indication of a pullback at the moment."

Platinum also rose 0.3% to $1,660.50 an ounce, while palladium slipped 0.2% to $1,479.70, in cautious trading ahead of further signals from the Federal Reserve and U.S. economic data. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271448

Iraq Exported 7.9 Million Barrels Of Oil To The US In November, Topping The Arab World.

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad  The U.S. Energy Information Administration announced on Thursday that Iraq's oil exports to the United States exceeded 7 million barrels during November, an increase of more than 2.5 million barrels compared to the previous month.

The administration stated in a table that "Iraq exported 7.920 million barrels of crude oil to America during the month of November, up from the month of October, in which Iraqi oil exports amounted to 4.495 million barrels."

The U.S. Energy Information Administration explained that "Iraq ranked third in its exports to America last month, after Canada, which ranked first as the country exporting the most oil to America, followed by Mexico."

The administration noted that "Iraq came in first place among Arab countries as the largest exporter of oil to America, ahead of Saudi Arabia, which came in second with exports of 7.380 million barrels, and Libya came in third with exports of 1.440 million barrels."    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=63299
