@yoyonofukuoka My dreams went from decades of natural disaster dreams to random terrorist/shootings type of dreams! Then for several years after covid zero dreaming! Now the shootings!
๐จ STOP RIGHT THERE.
Did the U.S. Treasury Secretary really just say this?
โWhy would I want to blow up the global financial system?โ
Read that again.
Not some gold bug.
Not some doom-porn account on X.
Not some guy sitting in a basement surrounded by silver bars.
The United States Secretary of the Treasury.
And the context matters.
Bessent was explaining why Washington is giving foreign entities time to comply before unleashing secondary sanctions.
His reasoning?
Secondary sanctions are an extraordinarily powerful tool. They must not be used lightly.
Comply with Washington's expectations โ or, in his own words:
โThey should expect that they will leave the dollar system.โ
Think about what is being acknowledged here.
The dollar system is simultaneously being presented as:
the weapon,
the enforcement mechanism,
and something whose disruption must be handled carefully enough that the Treasury Secretary invokes โblowing up the global financial system.โ
No, Bessent did NOT predict the collapse of the global financial system.
That's not what he said.
But when the man responsible for the world's most important reserve currency even puts those words into the conversation while discussing the weaponization of that currency's financial networkโฆ
I pay attention.
Especially when the same offensive targets:
Gold.
Digital assets.
Shipping.
Foreign financial institutions.
And anyone helping Iran circumvent the dollar system.
You can call gold a barbarous relic.
You can call de-dollarization a fantasy.
You can tell the world that exclusion from the dollar system is the ultimate financial punishment.
But there is a question Washington may eventually have to confront:
How many times can you threaten to throw people out of a club before they start building another club?
And perhaps an even more uncomfortable one:
What happens when the threat is aimed at someone too big to throw out without breaking some of the furniture yourself?
China, I'm looking at you. ๐จ๐ณ๐ฟ
Bessent's sentence may have been rhetorical.
But some sentences should make markets listen.
โWhy would I want to blow up the global financial system?โ
Indeed, Mr. Secretary.
Why did that possibility enter the conversation at all?

๐จ Scott Bessent just gave an ULTIMATUM to ANY AND ALL countries who engage economically with Iran
Including being REMOVED from the US dollar system.
"Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership. Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime."
๐ฆ๐ช๐ฎ๐ณ๐ท๐บ๐จ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ท Thatโs UAE, India, Iran, Russia & China then.
All BRICS members.
Exactly how you get to a multi node world order.
Nice one FIC.
Youโre hedging yourself from the dollar.

They are going to crash the stock market into crypto. This is how they inject liquidity and tokenize everything.

@WillVanBooraem My parents lost theres in their 70's a few years ago. We almost lost them. You rebuild & will be stronger after...a different person. I think in the upcoming months a lot of people will loose things. Don't let them take your soul and spirit! Adapting over the next few years-key
