Please join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with two-time, best-selling author Nomi Prins, who just released “Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged The World.”[1]
How does the common man protect himself? Prins says, “They have to own things, and by that I mean real assets, hard assets like silver and gold. That’s not as liquid, so taking cash out of banks and sort of keeping it in real things and keeping it on site . . . keeping cash physically. You need to extract it from the system because the reality is when a financial crisis happens, banks close their doors to depositors. . . . Also, basically try to decrease your debt.”...

(IDEX Online) – More than 2,400 industry professionals attended the first day of CARAT+ on Sunday, far surpassing expectations, according to the organizers. The highlight of the opening day on Sunday was model and actress Elizabeth Hurley and a surprise collection of vintage cars. Hurley, who wore Cascade collection jewels by CARAT+ exhibitor Roberto Coin, formally opened the show by cutting a ceremonial ribbon. She was then led on a guided tour of the show floor, visiting leading exhibitors and discovering some of the most exceptional diamonds, fancy color diamonds and colored gemstones on display.

Billionaires are making moves to shore up their fortunes against a coming collapse in risk asset price.
Naguib Swiris and Jacob Rothschild know that they can’t predict when the great shift from recklessly printed fiat currency to a permanent store of value is going to come. But they understand that our current path is unsustainable and that the only way to be correctly positioned is to buy gold before a significant panic.
Economic uncertainty usually ensures an increase in the price of gold. While Wall Street has been enjoying a good ride, not everyone is expecting the stock market to continue its current upswing. Billionaire Naguib Sawiris, Egypt’s second richest man, has announced that he will be placing half of his net worth, which is a considerable $5.7 billion, into gold.
With the dominance of gold during chaotic economic times, it seems easy to delegate gold to the realm of economics. Until one recalls that Lenin, Mussolini, and Hitler made ownership of gold illegal upon their seizure of power. The power of gold is that it bestows liberty and freedom on those who own it. Which makes gold the primary nemesis of any aspiring dictator.
Jacob Rothschild, head of the banking family, indicated in 2016 that he is moving from the U.S. dollar[1], the current global reserve currency, into gold and non-U.S. currencies. The Rothschild family is wealthy enough to buy a few small nations for the sport of it. So, it’s well worth noting when they lose faith in the U.S. dollar.
When we look around us, we see currency being devalued at a rapid rate through active and deliberate government policies, especially the policies of central banks. This is nothing less than theft. Look at once-prosperous Venezuela,...
